Your host, Stephen K. Bannon starts right now.
Harry Yet
Something is going on in Texas. Primaries are March 3rd. That's next week. There is a really interesting phenomenon happening though among who is voting. Let's get to seeing a chief data analyst Harry yet. And we're not even exactly talking about the candidates here, which is why it might be even more important.
Stephen K. Bannon
No mind blown to quote the show Blossom Joey.
Dorothy Moon
Whoa.
Stephen K. Bannon
I mean, look at this. Okay. Share of Texas midterm primary ballots at this point in the cycle cast in Democratic primaries or Republican primaries. In 2022, the last midterm, overwhelmingly, the votes are being cast in Republican primaries. 62%. But look at what's going on now in the 2026 cycle. More votes are being cast on the Democratic side. What a shift from where we were four years ago at this point, more people in Texas picking up the Democratic ballot.
Harry Yet
More Democrats are voting in Texas than Republicans. I mean, how unusual is that?
Stephen K. Bannon
Just how unusual? Well, you see the massive shift from 2022, but look at history go all the way back. When was the last time that more people actually picked up a Democratic ballot cast about in the Democratic primary in Texas in the midterm. You have to go all the way back to 2002. So this could break. This could break an over 20 year stretch, my goodness gracious, whereby more people are actually voting in the Democratic side. And I will note it really hasn't even been close since 2002. Overwhelmingly, more people have been voting on the Republican side in Texas, and this year so far, more people are voting on the Democratic side.
Harry Yet
This is different, very different with a capital V in this case. So we still have a few days to go here. What are the chances, what are the prediction markets saying about the chances this will stick?
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, so we're only really been talking about the early vote, but if you look at the cashier prediction market, what you actually see is the chance to have higher Texas primary turnout. Right now, the people putting their money where their mouth is actually slightly predict that there'll be more votes cast on the Democratic side than on the Republican side. 60% to 40%. Still a close race. But given that Republicans have been so out voting Democrats in Texas, the idea that more people could actually vote on the Democratic side in Texas again, as I said at the top.
Whoa. Okay. It's Thursday, the 26th of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Brian Glenn, our own Brian Glenn, who happens to be a Texan. Brian Glenn is on a plane. He's decided to come out tonight. So he'll be with us all day tomorrow. He was going to fly to Air Force One, but coming now early. So he'll be in Corpus Christi. And during our coverage, starting with his show at 7am in the morning, Eastern Standard Time will kick off and we'll be doing all day coverage of President Trump's trip to Corpus Christi. That's how important I think this trip is looked at. President Trump coming to South Texas. Also. We're trying to get a feed. There's another event to make America healthy again. Bobby Kennedy, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, is in Austin for an event that's going to take place right towards the end of War Room Texas. And we have to, we'll extend the hours. We'll figure this out as we don't want to miss that. So two very important MAGA and Make America healthy Again events back to back in Texas. And our own Brian Glenn is on a plane right now and he'll be up doing his show from Corpus Christi or thereabouts around there tomorrow. And we're going to have all day coverage, including the event with the president when all likelihood take place during the War Room's first hour. And we'll continue it all the way through War Room Texas tomorrow. We're very honored. We have two chairmen of two different Republican parties in two different states. But states are kind of similar as being railheads of the MAGA movement. And they're similar in the fact of some of their dressing. Abraham George is going to join me in a minute. He's the chairman of the Texas Republican Party. He is heading towards, just like Brian Glenn, he's heading towards Corpus Christi right now. Want to bring in Dorothy Moons, Idaho chairman. Dorothy, you've been on many times in the past. I wanted to have you on tonight particularly to address this audience because you were wrestling with something up in Idaho that's quite similar to the situation. Remember, one of the things that's very different down here in Texas right now, there's been an awakening about this issue with Sharia law. Sharia law is actually on the ballot. Proposition 10 to prohibit Sharia law in the state of Texas is on the Republican ballot on the 3rd of March. And obviously for early voting. What is happening up in Idaho? Because there's been reports and we had folks on that you introduced us to over the last couple of months about, I guess, training that's going on for Qatar. There's other issues about the concentration of Muslim population up there. Now you're taking things to the state legislature. What exactly is happening in Idaho?
Dorothy Moon
Thanks, Steve, for having me on and good to see you again. Well, there's a lot going on, I think. I sent you a couple of months ago a resolution that was passed at our winter meeting about Sharia law and concerns by a lot of the citizens and a lot of our central committee members about its influence not only in Idaho, but we've been watching what's going on in Texas, which has been very alarming, and a lot of other Northeastern states. The, the, the resolution in turn wound up being reworked. Now we have an actual bill that is moving and I shared that with you last week. And this bill would more or less try to remove some of the confusion of, you know, foreign courts do not have jurisdiction in Idaho. And so it just reinforces that we do follow the U.S. and Idaho Constitution and that's what we intend to do. And we're going to ignore any move for these foreign courts to come in and try to bring their laws and influence anything whatsoever.
Stephen K. Bannon
I think the people in Texas would say, and it's waking now, they've Governor Abbott's designated the Muslim Brotherhood in care as terrorist organizations. There's a move because their legislature only meets every couple of years. There's a move to have hearings sometime in the spring and maybe even have a special session to deal with this. And a lot of people where I've been down, we've been here about a month so far. A lot of people saying, you know, this thing was brewing for years, but we needed a permission structure to actually talk about it. And now as Abraham George is going to join us in a moment is top of mind. In fact, every other ad or every third ad is about I don't support Sharia. You know, Sharia can't be in Texas. In fact, Cornyn actually not only took a 30 second spot out that was against Sharia and his support of being anti Sharia, he actually submitted a bill in the Senate with Tommy Tuberville last week that's banned Sharia law throughout the United States of America. How much of a problem has it been in Idaho? Are you guys trying to get ahead of it or is there already a problem? Because as soon as this happens, the mainstream media goes, you're a bunch of religious bigots, you're Islamophobe, you people are white nationalists, you're white supremacists. All this is you're trying to other religion. So what is the real situation in Idaho and what caused this?
Dorothy Moon
Well, I think what the real situation is is that people want due process and they don't want to have a foreign court tell them that now some gentleman's wages or retirement is being garnished to support someone in a divorce proceeding that's in a different country there. That, that was one issue that kind of come up. Did come up. We, we need to protect our citizens, especially from foreign courts and then trying to come in and cash in, I guess, or to get support for another person in after the divorce has occurred. So that was that, that was a couple of years back. So we haven't really seen a lot. And then of course the cutter Qatar, there's a lot of pronunciations for that word. And they are coming into Mountain Home Air Force base and to buy jets and be trained to use them. And I know that you did speak to Senator Lenny and you also talked to Representative Heather Scott on your show about the concerns that they had been receiving from many of their constituents around the state. So there are concerns. People have heard a lot. We've seen what happens in around the nation and everybody's spidey senses are kind of up on end up down here in Idaho. Up here in Idaho.
Stephen K. Bannon
Is this going to get, is this going to get passed or is this one that's going to be very contentious and they're going to put it aside. You anticipate that this legislation will actually be passed?
Dorothy Moon
I don't know. You want to come out here and help me get it through the Senate?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, definitely, we'll definitely Ed, we'll definitely fire. But this is the question I asked you. We had some grassroots precinct strategy. People from Texas on the show on Monday where the precinct strategy, they got people dropping mailers on them and saying they're not really Republicans and they're Rhinos. I mean, they're going everything to get rid of precinct chairs. There's always been a big fight between the establishment up in Idaho and the grassroots. And what stuns me is Idaho I think is the best example of, and maybe Oklahoma is a second of the reddest states in the country. Really have an awful lot of moderates and Rhinos in elective office and particularly in federal office, ma'.
Am.
Dorothy Moon
We do, we do. But you know, this is my fourth year, Steve. I've been, I've been in this battle for a long time. And you know, after going to the URNC meeting in Santa Barbara last month, you know, two years is the norm for a chair to stay in a statewide chair position. But you know what, we're gaining ground. The grassroots have never been more active. And you know, we've got an abortion, nine month abortion issue coming up. I told you I was at a meeting for that today. We've got a lot going on. The left is trying to come in and really flip things upside down and the moderates are trying to help as well. So we've got a big fight on our hands. But we're Idaho and we're very conservative and people moved here from California to come into a state that they don't want to change. They want it just to be a state of liberty and freedom. So the fight is real. The fight is on. I think this bill that I hope does get through the cel Senate. I guess the next question is whether the governor vetoes it or not.
Stephen K. Bannon
Ma', am, where do people go to find out about your continuing fight up in Idaho? Because I think that fight is emblematic of Texas and many other places. Where do folks.
Dorothy Moon
We love Texas and you know, our hearts go out to them for sure. They're, they're really in the thick of it. Id gop.org Reach out to our website and you could also go to our Facebook page. We have an Instagram site right now. We're doing a lot of Lincoln days. We're talking about a lot of these issues. We, I have about 40 of them around the state. I'm going to attend about 30 of them. So anyway, message is big, loud and clear and we want to keep fighting for Idaho and Texas will come help you if we need to. People are upset about what's going on.
Stephen K. Bannon (Ad Read)
Thank you, ma'.
Dorothy Moon
Am.
Stephen K. Bannon
Appreciate you. A real fighter.
Dorothy Moon
Thank you. You're welcome.
Stephen K. Bannon
Something's.
What did CNN say? Something's going on. Texas something. Texas is the center right now of the political universe. Actually, over at Punchbowl, they said that the other day, president of the United States. And look, President Trump's trying to negotiate peace in Iran. He's dealing with the situation in Mexico. They got the Venezuela situation. He's trying to get through the Save America Act. The report in the Washington Post, they couldn't be a bigger blockbuster, said President Trump is going to cite foreign interference in these elections and maybe sign a really tough executive order that has emergency powers in it. My point being, if you look at the economy, what he's doing in DEI and culturally, war, peace, the economy, stock market, all of it, he's got the weight of the world on the shoulders. So what does he do? He changes his entire schedule to come out here tomorrow, to fly out here tomorrow to Corpus Christi, Texas.
Why?
It's the last day of early voting. Game day is on Tuesday. And President Trump wants to make sure his troops got the message and they got the message for him. Let me play that. And we knew this was going to happen because we could kind of see these forces out there. That's what we shifted the show about four weeks ago down here to Texas so we could meet as many people as possible and talk to them and work with them. I want to play the CNN clip again so you hear it again, see the numbers again. And then I'm going to bring on the chairman of the Republican Party for the great state of Texas, Abraham George. Let's go ahead and let it rip.
Harry Yet
Something is going on in Texas. Primaries are March 3rd. That's next week. There is a really interesting phenomenon happening, though, among who is voting. Let's get to seeing a chief data analyst, Harry yet. And we're not even exactly talking about the candidates here, which is why it might be even more important.

When was the last time that more people actually picked up a Democratic ballot cast about in a Democratic primary in Texas in the midterm. You have to go all the way back to 2002. So this could break, this could break in over 20 years. Stretch my goodness gracious, whereby more people are actually voting in the Democratic side. And I will note it really hasn't even been close since 2002, overwhelmingly more people have been voting on the Republican side in Texas. And this year so far, more people are voting on the Democratic side.
Harry Yet
This is different, very different with a capital V in this case. So we still have a few days to go here. What are the chances? What are the prediction markets saying about the chances this will stick?
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, so we're only really been talking about the early vote, but if you look at the cashier prediction market, what you actually see is the chance to have higher Texas primary turnout. Right now the people putting their money where their mouth is actually slightly predict that there'll be more votes cast on the Democratic side than on the Republican side. 60% to 40%. Still a close race. But given that Republicans have been so out voting Democrats in Texas, the idea that more people could actually vote on the Democratic side in Texas again, as I said at the top.
Well, okay. Abraham George is the chairman of the Republican Party of the great state of Texas. He is actually heading towards Corpus Christi where he joins us. I want to say Abraham first, coming on, as I've spent time and gotten to know so many people, the grassroots, particularly a not insignificant part of the MAGA base, are just not into early voting. Let me just put out there, that is the beginning. There are certain people, you got Doc Chambers running for governor, you have other people support him and some of the conservatives, Ken's running for ag, they just are not going to early vote. So that that weights the numbers somehow. But you agree this is quite surprising, sir.
Abraham George
It really is. And we are absolutely grateful for President Trump to change his schedule and show up to Corpus Christi because it is absolutely important for Republicans to turn out. I think what happens is when everything is starting to go right and look good on the economy and the border and things like that, Republicans get complacent and they just stay home. And we cannot have that in 26 cycle. They got to show up and, and, and President knows that. That's why he's here. He's going to show up tomorrow and we're going to have a great time. But this is a clear message to the base that he needs them to show up to the, to the polls.
Stephen K. Bannon
Abraham, why Corpus Christi? For years with Steve Cortez and others and actually I started Breitbart Texas down in the Rio Grande Valley. The Rio Grande Valley we had targeted in South Texas that working class Hispanics, they're pro secure borders, they're pro deportations, they're pro law and order. They understand that this wave of illegal alien invaders drove down their wages. Is the President going to South Texas? Cuz the changes like in Shaw County, Starr county, the changes in South Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, were historic. Have you advised him or is he coming to South Texas, to Corpus Christi to reinforce to the Hispanic American community down there that he's with them and that his policies are starting to work. I mean, to choose Corpus Christi, given you got the massive TV market in Houston, you got the massive TV market in Dallas and Fort Worth. We've been around North Texas for most of the time we've been here because there's a huge fight up here or San Antonio. Why is he headed to Corpus Christi?
Abraham George
Well, you said it. There's two reasons. One, in the 24 cycle we flipped 12 out of the 14 counties in South Texas. Those are all Democrat counties. Some of them haven't elected a Republican in more than 100 years. And that's because President Trump was on the top of the ballot and people were absolutely tired of Biden policies. And now we are in a market. Like you said, it's not a TV market. Corpus Christi, South Texas, it's a different kind of market. It's where you relationships matter more than TV ad. So we are very thankful. This is a different kind of market. This is a different kind of group of people. They want to know how they're going to get their property tax done, how they're going to get their, their kids education. Correct. And so all of these things are practical things that matters to them. You know, they're very grateful. We had a, a town hall a few days ago where we had a little over 150 people, all Hispanic background. They showed up and they were very grateful to have a closed border and have a legal immigration back and back on the, back on the table because they did not appreciate what was happening. They had to pick up dead bodies to, to bury in their backyards because of Biden policies that those days are over. They're very grateful for that. But they're also looking for what are you going to do for us now? So President, he made an amazing decision. This is absolutely critical for Texas that he shows up. And I'm glad he's, he's doing the, he's doing more than what we can ask Abraham.
Stephen K. Bannon
You know, it's as coast Texas who goes the nation in this regard. And I'd like you to hold through the break because I think people want to hear more from you. If Spamberger on April 21 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and this is how this stuff is inextricably linked, on April 21st in the Commonwealth, there's a referendum to shift the Commonwealth of Virginia, which is basically a 52, 48 state, okay, to shift it from six, five Democrats have control of six House seats to Republicans, five to shift that to 10 to one. And unless the courts got involved and the courts are a little bit on the side, but the state courts in Virginia are not going to change this. If they win that referendum and go to 10, 1, then I've been telling people the entire calculation shifts to Texas. Now, you guys do a Herculean effort in the state assembly picked up five additional seats. You should have eight, but you picked up five. Just with fair redistricting. But it will come down, sir, I believe to two or three of those seats, particularly in South Texas, that could determine whether the House of Representatives are still controlled by the Republicans. And we know, and Hakeem Jeffries is bragging to people the moment they take charge, they're going to impeach President Trump right off the bat. Your thoughts about that? I mean, do you envision right now that the entire fight in the midterm elections could come down to a couple of these House seats in Texas and particularly maybe South Texas, 100%.
Abraham George
And that's why we in the last cycle we spent more than $30 million in those 14 counties. We are probably going to have to spend much more than that because the amount of apathy that has gotten into the Republicans these days. So it will come down to very small margin for the U.S. house. And Texas will deliver. We will work hard and we will make it happen. But it is not going to be easy. And I think we should have gotten six or seven or eight. But it was a very fair, more than fair redrawing and that took place. If you're glad that happened, that doesn't mean we cannot do it again. So if other states are going in the wrong direction, for example, California, we have another session, we could do this all over again. So we don't know if that's going to come down to it, but the courts have clearly ruled in favor of us. So we are going to continue to have this, this conversation. And we're even talking about redistricting. Texas House and Texas Senate to match what the real representation supposed to be.
Stephen K. Bannon
Abraham, I may ask you one more question. I'd like to hold you through the break. When I look at the numbers, the early voting numbers, and remember, I just want to repeat this, there's a big part of the Trump movement that just not comfortable with early voting. You're not going to change your mind. They're dug in on this and they say, look, I don't want the Democrats to know. I don't want people to have this information. I just feel comfortable. I'm a game day voter. I've always been a game day voter. I'm going to go out on game day and vote. And that when you look at these numbers, this is not surprising. The Republican turnout is not bad for a midterm election primary year. But the Democrats, correct me if I'm wrong, the Democrats are putting up presidential cycle numbers. And the reason is this is not a policy debate, folks. This is purely Trump derangement syndrome. They're making the argument if Trump, we can stop Trump and stop the entire Trump revolution by defeating him now and he doesn't really get the second two years of his administration because we'll impeach him. And if you don't do that, you're gonna have the Handmaid's tail. I mean, that's the level of sophistication of the argument. Do you buy that? That you're looking at a presidential cycle turnout by Democrats because their hatred of President Trump and many Republicans think, hey, President Trump said, we got the House and the Senate, it's just a primary. I don't need to worry about this. Maybe I'll vote in November, maybe I won't.
Abraham George
Yeah, there's multiple factors to this. Then we looked at the numbers to see who has shown up. Well, the Democrats have shown up. We also saw a fairly large amount of Republicans that we thought was Republicans are casting a ballot in the Democrat primary this year. So, Steve, as you know, Texas is a open state. We can have any primaries. It's open primary state. So if you're a Democrat and you live in a district or area where it's all Republicans, only choice you have is cast a ballot in the Republican primary to find the most moderate RINO representative possible. They've been doing that for years. This is one of the reasons why the Republican Party has filed a lawsuit against state of Texas to close our primaries. So with Talarichio and Jasmine Crockett running, we think a lot of these people who is closet Democrats or extreme rhinos have now said, okay, we can go.
Stephen K. Bannon
Hang on one sec. I want to explain this to people because there's a big bone of contention here. For years they've been saying, hey, people are phony. They're really Democrats voting in Republican primaries, listening to Republican primaries. But when it comes time to something they really want to get involved in, the Democrats, they flip back. Abraham George, the chairman of the Republican Party of Texas is with us. We're going to take a short commercial break. We're going to return. He's heading to Corpus Christi, Texas. Brian Glenn's heading to Corpus Christi, Texas. The whole apparatus of RAV all long is going to be talking about this rally tomorrow on Real America's Voice and the Warmburg cover it live tomorrow during our show in the afternoon. Short commercial break. Back in warm Texas. A moment.

As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world. Are you President? Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country?
Stephen K. Bannon
Texas is the jewel, the crown of this union. And I say that as a Virginian, of course, I do want to mention that Sam Houston and Davy Crockett were both Virginians also. This is a serious one, folks. And this is why we had Dorothy Moon, the chairman of Idaho, to start the show off. People around the country are watching this intensely. I want to go. Or intently. I want to go back, Abraham, just so people understand this, because I'm down here and so many of the grassroots are saying, and you're suing. The GOP is suing to stop this. They've had these open primaries and the grassroots said, hey, this is how the Karl Rove apparatus has always controlled us. Cuz they got these guys that are really not Republicans that vote an open primary that's going to get a thing. And this is how we always get these terrible rino. The rino, you know, elected officials, not grassroots, because they're beaten by people that are not really Republicans. Is it your belief now, when you've seen this big shift that's gotten everybody over there, that these are not people who are saying, particularly moderate Republicans saying, I've had enough of Trump, I've had enough of maga, I don't like it, you know, I don't like Minneapolis and I'm going to shift to Democrats. Or do you actually think we're exposing people that have always voted in these Republican primaries to put their thumb on the scale, but are really Democrats?
Abraham George
You're right, Steve. I think about more than 70% of that is real Democrats who finally have two candidates that they can choose from. They have Talarico and Jasmine Crockett, and they wanna pick a side between those two. And they can't do it in the Republican primary. So they went and finally decided they're gonna be real Democrats. There is probably a small amount of Republicans who just doesn't like Trump and the MAGA movement and the Further Right America first group of, you know, we call it ourselves, and the grassroots people, they, they want the Bush Republicans, they want everything to be nice even though, you know, everything is going wrong. That that group may be out there saying, you know, I'm going to vote on the Democrat primary this time, but a good amount of them are Democrats for forever. And they just decided finally show their true colors.
Stephen K. Bannon
If the President asks you tomorrow, hey, tell me what the plan is, both for game day and then for November. Because people I met a lot of people who said, Steve, don't get, don't get too worried. It's just this primary, it's not going to primary. I said this is different. After Mondame in Minneapolis, the whole world is watching this, particularly this left because this is kind of DSA and Working Families Party. There's going to be, if they put these numbers up and beat on total numbers on Tuesday, a billion dollars of dark outside money is going to flood into this state because they see Texas as the linchpin of the entire thing. You saw Dorothy Moons, Dorothy Moons knows as much going to Texas as going on in Idaho. She told me, she said this Texas situation has concerned everybody throughout the nation. So when you talk to President Trump, just walk me through what is the plan to turn this around, sir?
Abraham George
Well, the major thing the Republican Party and our grassroots have to do is get people to the polling locations. We have put together a great plan. It's now funded. We're going to have TV ads, text messages, emails and most importantly, real people knocking on their neighbors doors and saying why haven't you shown up? What is it that matter to you that you don't care anymore? So we want to know that the November election is all about going to be what do you want for the next two years of President Trump's legacy to look like? Is it going to be impeachment and try to put him in jail or do we want to stop wars in everywhere and do we want to build our economy again? Do we want to have a secure border? So this is going to be the difference. And Steve, I am excited for 26 and I'm scared for 26. And along with that we have the Sharia problem in Texas. That is an all whole another issue that we have to deal with. And you know, in Idaho and everywhere in the country that we're having to deal with, these people who think they can have a parallel government in inside our country is is, it's just, it's just crazy. We have, Governor Abbott have categorized CARE and Muslim Brotherhood as, as terrorist organizations. But I think the next session we're going to have to say if someone runs and create a parallel government inside our country, we should look at them as enemies of our state and prosecute them with that kind of bait behind our law. So this is an important thing for Texas. Texas is changing a lot and a lot of times it's for good, a lot of times it's for bad. So we've got to work on this. And we have a great amount of precinct chairs and county chairs and SREC members who is doing the work. But it's not enough. We need more people on our side.
Stephen K. Bannon
Texas has been targeted. I mean, it's actually the Sharia situation because I spent a lot of time in Texas all my life, but now very engaged here. It's actually worse than I thought. We sent Peter McElveen here a couple months ago from London and he told me at the time, he said, steve, you don't understand. This thing is farther gone for the time period than London was when they did that. That's why the Muslim Brotherhood, the dsa, the Working Families Party, sources money, all this dark money. They understand Texas is the jewel of the crown of the union. And as Texas goes, so goes the nation. You know who else believes that? Don't take it from Abraham George and don't take it from Stephen K. Bannon or Brian Glenn or the War Room Posse. Take it from the President of these United States. Donald John. Trump has changed everything to fly out here tomorrow on the last day of early voting to send a message to his people that we got to stand up here and represent. We have to stand and deliver. Abraham, you're heading toward Corpus Christi all day tomorrow. Brian Glenn's on a plane right now. He'll kick it off 7am eastern time tomorrow with his show live from Texas. We'll pick it up later in the afternoon, but all the way through the Charlie Kirk Show, Jack Posobuk, we'll pick it back up here at 5 all the way through Warren, Texas, live coverage of the Corpus Christi rally. Abraham George, where do people go and get you? Where's the website for the Texas GOP and what is your social media?
Abraham George
Sir, it is very simple. Texasgop.org in the very front page of it, you can see how to volunteer, get involved. If you become a volunteer, we will text you your neighbor's information who hasn't shown up, who is a Republican in the next few days, knock on their doors, tell them to show up and cast a ballot. It is so important that we show up this cycle.
Stephen K. Bannon
Abraham, thanks for sending the flare up and being part of a big team that got President Trump to come out tomorrow. It's going to be very important. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
Abraham George
Thank you.
Stephen K. Bannon
Jenny, come on over. You're going to join us right now. You've got some, you got some numbers we're going to share here.
Dorothy Moon
Sure, sure, sure.
Stephen K. Bannon
Am I. Is that. Come this way. Okay, fine. There I am.
Dorothy Moon
Right there.
Stephen K. Bannon
I'm looking beautiful. You're always written more. Okay. We're producing as we're doing it. This is live television.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Oh, we are.
Stephen K. Bannon
This is live, baby. Oh, this is live. Okay. You're.
Dorothy Moon
You're.
Stephen K. Bannon
I noticed this, a Patriot Mobile. Jenny is the mathematician. Glenn is more than. He's more of the sales marketing guy. Talk to me. I notice all the grassroots meetings we had, everything ahead. People have been very concerned that this could happen, that there's something going on here. And particularly there is an unbelievable amount of outside money that's here backing this. So just give me some basic stats of what you guys have pulled together.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Okay, so first of all, what you're seeing up there is just showing again that the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats voting is widening. This is Tarrant County, Tarrant county alone, and it's widened to 20.
Stephen K. Bannon
And Tarrant county is so important because it's the railhead. It's one of the reddest counties in the country and is considered the railhead of really, the Trump movement. The Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. North of that, you have all these used to be frontier towns or small towns that are now these hubs of just growth, economic growth, et cetera, tech, all that. And they've been so weighted towards not just Republican, but really have embraced the Trump movement. And that's why people are so concerned about. This is why Senate District 9 became not just a national story, it became a global story a couple weeks ago when he had this shocking turnout. And remember, President Trump, through all the source money coming in here for years of $350 billion, President Trump won by 14 points and Ted Cruz won by 12 points in the 2024 election.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Right, right. But Tarrant county, if we lose Tarrant county, we will lose Texas, and they know it. So they're putting a lot of focus
Stephen K. Bannon
because we did that. And Biden, the Biden, when Biden stole it, that was one year Tarrant county flipped.
Barely.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon
And this is why President.
Abraham George
Right.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
And we focused all of a lot of our effort on that. But here's the big news. Okay. And I see that you just put that article up there. So basically there are four organizations. It's the Texas Majority pac, that's a Rourke's powered by people. And then the state House Democratic campaign, they have basically stated that they're going to launch a $30 million coordinated campaign as soon as the primary is done, and they're going to focus on basically helping roughly a thousand Democrats running for offices in Texas. So there is A huge coordinated campaign right now on Texas and they're putting in 30 million of outside money into Texas. That's what's going on.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, this is one of the things, but this is. When I first got here, I warned people because there was a sense, well, it's just a primary and they've got Crockett running and she's a big personality. I said it doesn't work like that if they look like they can put up. And I think what I argue is that the Republicans are putting up okay numbers for a midterm election. The Democrats are putting up presidential cycle numbers.
Dorothy Moon
That's right.
Stephen K. Bannon
And I said if that happens, you're gonna have $500 million flood into Texas from all these dark money groups overseas and back of these kind of shells like this to do door knocking. Cuz they understand they've got something that works. The Trump Derangement syndrome works if you put money in back of that, go door to door. It's what Mondame taught him in New York City. And what they've tried to do is bring it here to Texas and they're gonna put a ton of money back. Just give us that again. How much?
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Just announced it. I mean it's about four coordinated groups. You've got the Texas Democratic Party, the Texas Majority Pacific, the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee and Beto o' Rourke's Powered by People. They're combining forces. It's gonna be called Texas Together. They're gonna help drive the campaigns of roughly a thousand Democrats running in Texas offices. I mean it's crazy. They're spending $25 million statewide with 5 million that's designated towards a research hub called 254 Labs. I mean they put it out, there's articles all over the place and I don't think we're.
Stephen K. Bannon
I don't think people see it and they're saying they're gonna but their money in back of a thousand candidates. That means that coordinated approach. That means the county level, the city council level, the Texas House and Senate and federal offices. Right. The other thing is that, and this is why President Trump's coming out in South Texas with what's happening in Virginia and the referendum that's going to take place on the 21st of April. If Spamberger, and I think right now all systems looks like she's going to pull it off overwhelmingly. If they shift Virginia to a 10 to 1 federal, the House map that is then gonna focus back here to Texas of the redistricting and three of those seats in South Texas are gonna be the difference between holding the House right now. I think they're the difference between holding the House and President Trump losing the House and being impeached.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
That's right. That's right.
Stephen K. Bannon
And so those stakes here couldn't be higher.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
That's exactly right. I mean, we've gotta keep the money in Texas. And I say that every time I'm here, people.
Stephen K. Bannon
You mean Texas to raise money for national races.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Right, Right. Don't you know there's a lot of folks out there that like to raise or come to Texas to raise money for their campaigns. But I'm telling you, if we lose Texas, we lose the nation. We've got to focus on Texas. So I appreciate you being here and you recognize that, and I'm so thankful that Trump is coming out, but this is.
Stephen K. Bannon
Nothing could show it's more serious at the White House with President Trump. They're working 18 or 20 hours a day.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Right.
Stephen K. Bannon
The schedule is so jammed with what he's trying to do legislatively still with Save America, what he's doing in the economy, having meetings, this entire peace deal. And when I heard the other day, because the flare did go up from a number of us that, you know, this is all important, he responded by changing his entire schedule and coming out here on the last day of early voting to motivate people to come out on Tuesday. That I said, it doesn't have to take that RAV or Real America's Voice or War Room Posse or Steve Bannon or the people at Patriot Mobile or Abraham George thinks it's important. The President thinks is important.
Dorothy Moon
That's right.
Stephen K. Bannon
Important enough to come. And what I found most fascinating, not to go to one of the big media markets in Houston or Dallas, Fort Worth and North Texas or San Antonio, but go to South Texas, where this fight is really going to take place.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
That's right. That's right. It's great. And he needs to come to Tarrant County.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, I think hopefully that. Now, let's talk about are the grassroots? Are you comfortable right now that enough of the grassroots are pulling? I realize there's no money at that scale, but do you think the grassroots are coming together? Understand that. Because I tell people there's at least a third of the grassroots movement, particularly President Trump's movement, people that, that, that back guys like Doc Chambers, who's a great guy running for governor, they're just not gonna vote early voting. They just refuse to do it.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
But can we make up that difference? And when we're talking about state level we have 146,000 more Democrat votes right now. That keeps widening. I mean, can we make up 150,000 votes on Tuesday? Remember, tomorrow's the last day of early voting. You don't vote. You can't vote on Saturday. So it's tomorrow and it's Tuesday. Can we make up that difference?
Stephen K. Bannon
We're gonna find out. Tomorrow's the last day of early voting and then Tuesday is a huge get out the vote effort. How many door. They're saying they're gonna put $30 million to knock on a million doors?
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Well, no, they've actually knocked on a million doors.
Stephen K. Bannon
They said they've knocked on over the last two years and they've knocked on a million doors.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
That's right. So what are they going to do with 30 million?
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, can we play, I want to play the CNN one more time. Hold on first before we do that. Patriot Mobile. Talk to me about Patriot Mobile.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Patriot Mobile is a, is a mission based business that supports the mission by selling quality cell phone service, all US based customer support. We give millions of dollars away every year to organizations that support First Amendment second amendment life and military and first responders. But we do more than just give. We build coalitions. We work with others on strategy and you know, we magnify the dollars that we can give. So that's basically us in a nutshell.
Stephen K. Bannon
But you've put together, let's use the coalition you put together here over Christmas we knew we had an opportunity. Grit Wilders was coming to the United States. There was a possibility of one day and I was stunned about it. In three or four weeks you put together a coalition.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Two and a half weeks.
Stephen K. Bannon
Two and a half weeks. Two and a half weeks. When I showed up for the pre, for the, for the grassroots leaders meeting, there was 150 organizations and people there talking about how they were getting together and back of this and gonna push Proposition 10, which is banning Sharia law in the state of Texas. And he pulled off a tremendous. Is that what you talk about, about building coalitions?
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
Yeah, just getting people in the same room together, coming up with plans and you know, we've got to work, work on a good plan here because we may not have the money, but we have the drive and we have the volunteers. And actually volunteer door knockers are much more effective because they believe in what they're doing.
Stephen K. Bannon
And we talk about that because you have this thing of paid door knockers versus volunteers. Is volunteers too hard to wrangle or they actually get the job done?
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
You know, volunteers Also have jobs.
Dorothy Moon
Right.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
And so it's difficult. You may not have the same number of volunteer door knockers as you do with paid door knockers, but you do have a lot more passionate people who really believe in the cause. And, you know, this is a lot of folks that will give up the day from work or, you know, from their families. And they go out there and they spend a lot of time. Even like during the SD9 special election, they were out there in the ice storms knocking doors. I mean, that's incredible. We have a lot of wonderful volunteers and we should thank all of them because, you know, we wouldn't be where we are today without them.
Stephen K. Bannon
What is the. At the grassroots level? Because these numbers are. Now, you can't. There's two things you can't do. You can't watch local news without seeing this as like the number one story in particular. A lot of it is not so much because this is the most expensive Republican Senate primary in the history of the country. You have Cornyn spending an unbelievable amount of money. Wesley Hunt and Paxton not so much. But it's a hotly contested Senate primary that looks right now may go to a runoff now, but the Democratic Talarico versus a Crockett, that is one's getting national attention and that's everywhere. So you see ads and you see this news. Are the grassroots. Is this a wake up call for them to say, wow, I never thought I'd see a situation where the Democrats are putting up numbers that look like presidential year numbers and we're putting up good numbers for a midterm election.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
That's right. We think, you know, if you just looked at what our numbers were, you'd say, oh, wow, this is a very successful year. But, you know, the undercurrents have been there for a couple years and unfortunately, we didn't know what was going on. And now we're waking up to it and we're like, wow, that's a lot of money.
Stephen K. Bannon
This has been.
Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician)
That's a lot of money. And this 30 million that we know about, but as you've been saying, it's going to be a lot more money when that gap continues.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, a lot of people say, well, it's just a primary. The physics of modern politics doesn't work like that. If they show they can make Texas competitive, it's unlimited amount of money that will come in here from foreign sources and from dark money groups.
Why?
Because they understand that Texas is the hub. Texas is the jewel in the crown. If you can take Texas, but not Just that if you can make Texas competitive, as you just said, people come to Texas like the Democrats go to California. They come to Texas to raise money for the nation. Well, if Texas is sitting there and people like Jenny saying hey, for this one we got to hunker down on Texas, that changes the whole calculation for the entire country. One more time, a Patriot Mobile 972 Patriot. You're going to get somebody in their call center with an east Texas accent to help you get do the switch to the best phone service out there.

Title: Sharia Law Spreads To Idaho; Pre Game To Corpus Christi
Date: February 27, 2026
Host: Stephen K. Bannon
Guests: Dorothy Moon (Idaho GOP Chair), Abraham George (Texas GOP Chair), Jenny (Patriot Mobile Mathematician), Harry Yet (Data Analyst)
This high-energy episode of WarRoom Battleground dives into rising concerns among conservatives about the influence of Sharia law in the U.S., shifting political dynamics in the Texas primaries, and the strategic mobilization efforts underway in advance of the March 3rd Texas primary and a high-profile President Trump rally in Corpus Christi. Bannon discusses the spread of so-called “Sharia compounds,” legislative responses in Texas and Idaho, the significance of primary turnout data, and the influx of Democratic campaign funding into Texas. The tone throughout is urgent, combative, and focused on rallying grassroots conservative activism.

Bannon on Sharia Law:
“They are not coming. They are already here.” (00:47)
Dorothy Moon on Resistance:
“We want to keep fighting for Idaho and Texas will come help you if we need to.” (11:50)
Bannon on Democratic Turnout:
“This could break an over 20 year stretch, my goodness gracious, whereby more people are actually voting in the Democratic side.” (02:34)
George on Hispanic Outreach:
“This is a different kind of market. This is a different kind of group of people. They want to know how they’re going to get their property tax done, how they're going to get their kids' education correct.” (18:37)
Jenny on Money:
“If we lose Tarrant county, we will lose Texas and they know it. So they’re putting a lot of focus...” (41:09)
The episode frames Texas—and to a lesser extent Idaho—as the new battleground for both threats from outside ideologies and internal political shifts. GOP leaders and activists are urged to mobilize against a rising Democratic threat, characterized by historic primary turnout and unprecedented outside funding.
