Episode 5142: Embracing The Grassroots To Change The Course Of The Country; Civil War In The Texas GOP
Stephen K. Bannon’s guests warn Texas conservatives of a coordinated push to undermine Western values: Wade Miller cites $100M spent by establishment Republicans to block grassroots-backed efforts like Proposition 10, which targets Sharia law after years of Muslim legislators—including two who swore in on the Quran—advancing Islamic references in state statutes. Luke Macias links Texas’s political battles (e.g., Paxton’s impeachment) to a broader MAGA strategy, while Debbie Georgadis urges activists to pressure Senate Republicans against filibuster abolition, citing the Sharia-Free America Caucus’s hearings and Mike Lee’s warnings of Democratic power grabs like Puerto Rico statehood or court-packing. Grassroots mobilization in Texas, fueled by resistance to radical leftist policies, could shift national conservative momentum—but warns of PAC deception targeting precinct chairs. [Automatically generated summary]
Friday, 13 February in the year of the Lord, 2026.
We've got a PAC show today.
Luke Macias is going to join us, one of the top political minds in the state.
Observers also comes at it with a grassroots perspective.
Also, Debbie Georgadis, and she is a sitting member of the Republican National Committee and also a grassroots leader and a media star down here.
I want to start with Luke, with Wade Miller.
Wade, CRA, talk to me about your experience.
You guys have up, and I want people to get access to this, because this race is obviously more than just Prop 10 and Sharia law, but it's vitally important the grassroots support this.
This is one of the most hotly contested Senate primaries in, I think, the nation's history, the Republican primary.
And now that Robeson dropped out of the governor's primary against Andy Biggs in Arizona, which were the two top races, I think is the focal point of grassroots throughout the nation.
Sharia law is very important.
What is your experience with this?
CRA has become kind of one of the thought leaders.
We got papers, you got studies, you got analysis.
But why is this something that you've been really making sure that CRA is at the lead of this and helping frame this conversation?
Mainly because I think in the era of political correctness, there has been a willingness, especially on our side, to not understand this through the proper framing.
Too many on our side look at this through just, well, it's religious liberty.
You know, the Constitution says that, of course, you can be Muslim.
And yes, that's correct.
But there's a fundamental difference.
So the Constitution came out of a Christian culture.
Their constitution reflects the values of a Christian people.
And so they are very simpatico.
What we're seeing, especially with, and we already see it in Europe, and we're seeing it increasingly in the United States, is that we are importing an entirely different culture that adheres to a faith that is highly radicalized and very conquering in its written word.
And so we're seeing, and people like Amy Meck, they cover this all the time, all of these radicalized perspectives.
And there is an intention by this Islamic minority to start to insert Islam and Sharia into law or effectively make it de facto law, depending on how they want to structure the Sharia courts.
And I think that there's going to be, from a public policy perspective, a political perspective, there's going to be people who will say, you know, no to this.
But the practical application of it, if the grassroots and if we don't get principled leadership in Texas will be that it will still march forward.
You know, people will say just enough to get elected.
I mean, this is kind of the hallmark of Greg Abbott.
He will say something that sounds great.
And then the practical application on the back end is nothing.
There's no teeth to it.
You know, whether it's the border, whether it's radical Islam, the only reason he will ever do anything is if the temperature rises enough to where he does the political calculus that he needs to do something.
I think we need leadership in that state that takes the alternative perspective, which is that we have a major problem.
And regardless of what people think, we have to do this on behalf of our constituents.
And that's going to take people who understand how to navigate this legally.
There are First Amendment protections.
You know, the Christian majority in Texas is not seeking to forcibly convert people to Christianity.
We have a perspective that if you want to be a Christian, we welcome you.
Let me tell you about Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
But we're not out there trying to pass laws demanding that people do that.
We're not trying to pass laws to adhere to the Bible outside of just natural rights.
You can't murder people, that kind of stuff.
However, Islam is the exact opposite.
And we need people to understand that distinction and get out of this failed framing that this is somehow a First Amendment issue and you can't speak out against this.
People have a right to be Muslim.
And yes, they do have a right to be Muslim.
They do not have a right to try to subvert our entire constitutional order with their Islamic ideology.
And that's the way we have to approach this.
And people who are going to attack this and stop it need to understand those distinctions.
They need to do so responsibly.
They need to understand this from a statutory perspective.
They need to understand this from a legal perspective.
Because if they go in kind of, you know, guns ablazing and are not thoughtful, the courts are going to have an easy way to shoot down all of this progress that we're trying to make.
So we need to be methodical.
We need smart people addressing these problems and people who are not afraid to say that this is a problem and we're going to stop it.
Yeah, we're going to get to the resources that you provide for that to give people background because we love the fact that people become an informed, become informed citizenry, then they can use their agency to work on things.
I want to go, you know, we had this galvanizing event.
It's been about a month ago now that really brought this forefront.
We had a conference, all-day conference with grassroots leaders.
Then we had a big dinner and kind of conference.
We brought in Glenn Beck, who was amazing.
I spoke, but the person that kind of blew it out of the room, we brought in Geert Wilderss from the Netherlands that gave the perspective of what he's been working on for 20 years and how he feels he's lost his country, how we've lost Paris, how we've lost London.
Before I get to New York, Target of the United States, use the example of if you don't get in front of this early enough, what is happening, particularly what's happening in Europe?
Yeah, I mean, it's all about percentages of the population at relatively low numbers.
We have seen historically that there has been a trend to kind of blend in and go along.
But once they reach critical numbers in the population, they start becoming more politically active.
And look, I sound like I'm talking absolutes.
I know that there are Muslims who are perfectly decent people, Muslims who believe in liberty, but we're talking about the law of large numbers.
And if you look at the statistical data that's coming out from Pew, who has measured this over many decades, large majorities of the populations in all of these Muslim countries that people are coming from have highly radicalized positions that are completely incompatible with the United States Constitution.
And so when these populations reach a certain threshold, whether that's 10% or 13% or 20%, then they start really trying to infuse their ideology into the political processes.
This is what we're seeing in Europe.
I was just watching a comedian the other day saying that if, you know, in order for him to go visit Paris, he now needs to be able to speak Islam.
And there's just some truth to that.
And this is happening all over Europe.
And I think that we need to look at Europe.
They're 10 to 20 years ahead of us on this power curve.
And we have the opportunity.
I think it may be too late for them.
I don't think that they have what it will take to fix this problem at this point.
I think demographically it's a huge problem for them.
I don't think that we're past this red line.
I think we have opportunity to change this trajectory.
And I think that we need, you know, at the national level, vetting standards that are realistic.
And, you know, if someone believes that you should be murdered for leaving the religion of Islam, you should not be allowed in the United States ever.
And yet, large majorities of the people who come here have radicalized positions like this, completely at odds with the United States Constitution and Christian civil society.
I want to talk about New York because it has come here.
I mean, the color revolution, and we talked about this on the morning show today about, you know, DHS, ICE, the retreat, the shutdown, the 10 things they want, all these political battles.
It gets the, it's really from this 2020, the Stolen election, all the way through this, the 15 to 20 million, 25 million illegal aliens here.
But it's this red-green color revolution, this neo-Marxist with jihadists.
And you see this most prominently in New York City, where Mandami, who never spoke in really kind of Arab inflection or talked much about Islam in the campaign, is now up every couple of days telling you about how Islam is based on the stranger, is based on migration.
Medina, in fact, the New York Times had a huge article how this topic has now become the number one topic in the Republican primary out of nowhere.
And they use, I said, with a lot of care and people here in Texas that are Muslim are caught totally by surprise.
But they had a quote from, I think, an imam, a local imam, said, yeah, we do look at Texas as the new Medina.
And people would say, well, hey, he's just reinforcing what we've been talking about.
Tell me about New York City and how dangerous an example that is.
They are using them and working with them purely for political power to upset the existing culture, to combine with whatever forces are out there that will work with them in a coalition to subvert and take over power.
But down the road, I think these radical leftists that are going to be really surprised.
I mean, try to be an LGBTQ activist right now and go to Afghanistan.
What's going to happen to you?
And that is a harbinger of the future if they allow radical Islam to take political hold and don't take steps to mitigate the ability of this political ideology to subvert and destroy our entire culture and constitutional order.
You had at the morning show, we actually finished the morning show with you, and you had some great, not simply warning, but talking to Texas of how important they are in this process now.
Can you tell us about that?
Why is this Prop 10 on the ballot?
Why is this Texas awakening to this issue to get ahead of it?
Why is it so important in this time and place, sir?
They're uniquely situated in terms of what they're seeing with the what has happened with the importation of radical Islamists into their state and also have the political ability through control of their state legislature and in theory, a governor who is sympathetic to it.
And no matter what happens in this upcoming Attorney General race, I think you're going to have the next Attorney General of Texas will be friendly to this.
I've had conversations with Chip Roy.
He is methodically looking through all of his options that are on this table.
I think probably the other candidates are as well.
But they have a unique ability and they can show the rest of the country how you do this, how you withstand scrutiny in the courts, how you do this from a public policy perspective, and get it right.
Again, if you go in guns a-blazing, it's going to just have the aura and an appearance of just being a bigot.
This isn't about bigotry.
I have nothing against Muslims.
I just don't want a radical ideology that a certain percentage of these Islamists hold to change my culture and my constitutional order and start to change the shape of what natural law means in this country and who this ultimate source of that.
Because the answer is it comes from God.
And our Constitution already says that.
So we need to go in and methodically, like scientists, take apart this problem and then show the rest of the country, all of the other states, this is how you do it.
This is how you fight back against radical Islam.
This is how you reclaim and protect your culture, as we are empowered to do.
We have a right to protect our culture statutorily, legally, et cetera.
And I think that we need the actors.
We need leadership in Texas, whether that be whoever the Speaker of the House is next session.
We need the Texas State Senate.
We need the governor.
We need the Attorney General.
We need the Texas Comptroller.
We need all of those people to lead on this, not just give us talking points and not just say what people want to hear, but to concretely put forward plans to deconstruct this problem and show them, like, look, you can be Muslim.
You cannot change our laws.
You cannot change our culture.
You cannot change our way of life.
And you cannot seek out to, you cannot seek to overtly destroy our constitutional order.
Well, one of the things I think that your show did during impeachment was it nationalized a state-based conflict.
And that doesn't happen a lot.
If the state of Louisiana is fighting about something, no matter how much we talk about it, it's not that interesting.
When Texas takes on some of these battles, and we have been the epicenter of some of the largest Civil War battles in the Republican Party, and that's what's happening in Texas.
And so when you started talking about the impeachment issue, when you started talking about redistricting, it nationalized this conversation.
Everyone's focused on it.
And I think that's one of the reasons why this primary is so important.
The difference between the conservative side of the GOP and the moderate establishment side of the GOP is still very much alive and well.
I will say that we've had massive victories, largely due to the grassroots network across Texas that keeps waking up.
And that's the other reason it's so important is because so many people actually know what's going on.
When I started this, I was 16 years old.
I'm 35.
There was no grassroots.
There was no Tea Party.
I mean, you would literally get a couple conservative leaders in a room with 40 people to even know how the speaker was elected.
Nobody was doing scorecards on the votes being taken.
So this is a 20-year-long maturing process.
And I think the reason the battle is so important is because the establishment is spending so much money because people know more than they ever have.
Why is it, why do you have this break between, because even more than Florida or Arizona or any of the even Ohio, Texas is the railhead of the MAGA movement.
I keep telling people that you got such a, it's look, 31 million people.
You got such a vast group of just dedicated grassroots that do all the hard pick and shovel work.
But why is this this fight?
What is the political establishment here, the business establishment?
Why are they not embracing the grassroots and realize that if you really had unity here, you could absolutely change the direction of country?
Because you see on Capitol Hill right now, President Trump, even with the Republicans in the Senate.
I mean, we do all this work to do the Save America Act and put these things together.
And the guys have a perfunctory vote.
The team, you know, men and women perfunctory vote in the Republican Senate, get on a plane, and they're over at Munich at the security conference.
Even as we speak, and we're going to have a DHS shutdown and no election integrity, people have a tough time figuring this out.
And Texas, you're right, is the epicenter of the Civil War.
So one of the things I remember that came out with the Paxton impeachment was the realization that some of the more moderate establishment business, country club forces in the GOP are flexing their muscle because they are losing power every single election.
And even in that election, you know, 17 Republican incumbents lost their primary.
They have less power and influence than they ever have before.
I think that's another reason why we see the Civil War conflicts in the GOP still existing because they know that if they can't at least stem the momentum that conservatives have started, they will lose entire control of Texas.
And these are individuals who have put a ton of money into this state for a long time.
Remember, we have counties that have larger operating budgets than some states in the U.S.
And so there's a lot more money.
And I always say a lot more money just gives you kind of a boost to sin and nature and all the natural causes that cause us to do the wrong things.
And so it incentivizes the wrong behavior.
Those forces are putting more than they ever have because they know that conservatives have gained substantially over the last several years, in my opinion.
Money doesn't seem to be driving substantially the polls one way or another.
You're in a Republican primary for U.S. Senate where at this point, I think when you count all sides, it's going to be well over $100 million they could spend on the Senate primary.
And the polling that was six months ago is largely the polling that was three months ago is largely the polling that was yesterday.
Is that there's single digit, everything's moving within the margins.
One person goes to 35%, then they drop down to 32%.
Then they go to 31.
Ultimately, I think you're going to see, likely at this point, because Wesley Hunt jumped in the race, a runoff between Senator Cornyn and Attorney General Paxton.
And it seems like that's exactly what the polling said before the $100 million got spent.
And it's exactly what the polling is saying now that the money's all been spent.
And everybody who's been talking about this issue for two and three years, Debbie Georgadis, who's about to come on the show, I looked it up three years ago.
I had a episode, one of my weekly episode, and the title was, we just had the most pro-Muslim session in Texas history.
That was in 2023.
And I remember it was a couple hundred people that watched it at the time.
Some people reached out.
That year, a bunch of Republican politicians started calling those of us who were criticizing them for celebrating Muslim holidays and putting the Muslim faith into Texas law.
They started calling us bigots, racists.
And now all those same Republicans are out there saying we got to ban all of this all the time.
I posted the first text I got from Senator Cornyn that talked about Sharia law on Twitter three, four weeks ago and just said Overton window.
And we should recognize that.
I know that there's a lot not happening that we're disappointed in, but every now and then when people move in the right direction, we go, hey, this is a win because we're all shaping the narrative now.
We've driven the framing.
Now the question is, what are we going to do about it?
I know that's part of what you want to talk about.
This happened three years ago.
Two Muslim members came into the legislature.
They swore in on the Quran and they meant it.
And then they started celebrating every Muslim holiday they could.
They started getting all of their Christian fellow lawmakers to attend all of their Muslim dinners.
They started trying to put imams and halal food into Texas code.
They wanted to put the Muslim faith into Texas code wherever they could.
So it started three years ago, is still continuing today.
And that's why I think it is kind of reaching that pinnacle of awareness.
People are finally saying, I don't want to touch this.
I remember a friend of mine in Weatherford, and I'll close with this, that he was running against a bad Republican, Glenn Rogers.
Mike Alcott is his name, total grassroots champion.
And so Glenn Rogers starts getting criticized for voting to celebrate all these Muslim holidays in the Texas House.
And Mike Alcott's pastor gets up on Sunday and says, Mike Alcott's right there.
We're all voting for him.
And I'll tell you this, he's never going to celebrate Muslim holidays of the Texas House.
And you started realizing even the pastors in the pulpits are waking up.
They didn't know what was happening.
So I think it's been a three-year journey at this point on the Muslim issue in particular.
Many of the bills that the Muslim members of the Texas House were able to pass over the last two sessions, the Texas Senate kills.
So the Texas Senate has a group of lawmakers that say the Senate never celebrates the Muslim faith.
It does not insert Muslim, the Muslim faith into Texas code, but they will do things like taking a particular portion of code that says who can marry somebody.
And even though Imams can currently marry somebody, they can go get a certificate and marry somebody.
They want the word Imam into Texas code.
They want it right next to pastor.
And so they're trying to insert their faith into Texas code.
That's just one example.
But you start looking at all their bills and they all have that theme.
The resolutions they pass, that is the state of Texas officially celebrating the Muslim faith.
And culture is what you honor and what you shame.
And they want the culture in Texas to be one that honors the Muslim faith weekly in the halls of the Texas Capitol.
And we know the damage that that does.
And so I think the grassroots, even bringing attention to that, you now have even middle-of-the-road Republicans begging leadership to just kill all of the Muslim resolutions because they're tired of having to answer for it back in their districts.
You can go to The Luke Macias show, which is on YouTube.
It's on Spotify.
It's on Apple.
I come once a week.
I don't have the endurance of Steve Bannon, but I do at least have enough to come to you once a week for 30 minutes and give you the insight on Texas politics.
An extraordinary woman is going to join us, Debbie Georgadas, a national committeewoman with the Republican National Committee and also a grassroots fighter.
Short commercial break back in Warham, Texas, a moment.
The great thing about this is both with Luke and Debbie, they both host shows that are incredibly informative.
Debbie, you join us now.
I also want people to understand, you're a national committeewoman from the state of Texas, and every state's got equal representation on the RNC, but you do represent the jewel in the crown.
You're one of the three people to represent, you know, there's 31 million people in Texas.
That's the eighth biggest economy.
And since we don't have a lot of, we don't have a lot of stroke in California, you know, people look to you on the Republican National Committee as one of the real leaders.
Just from a national perspective, before we get in, we just had the Sharia caucus meet.
We had Tuberville on here the other day.
He was a Senate member of a Chip Roy.
We played spots.
We voted on the Save America Act, right, to get some modicum of organization and common sense in the national elections.
And the Senate took a perfunctory vote.
And all the Republicans voted for it, 53.
John Thune, I think, flipped because technicality, if you want to bring it back up, you got to do that.
Fetterman also, I believe, voted for it.
But there's no push to go to a standing filibuster to go to a talking filibuster.
And so what's your perspective with just what's happening?
President Trump is trying to get things done.
He's trying to codify things.
What's your perspective from the RNC of how we're doing?
And now we're getting ready for the runup of the midterm elections, man.
I love representing Texas on the Republican National Committee.
It is a, I love being a Texan.
You know, on the RNC, there are a wide range of people who they represent various states.
And so there's, you know, it's a wide range of people.
But my sense is that within the Republican National Committee, I'm not speaking in their behalf.
I am not a spokesperson for them.
But my sense in being at meetings and talking to them, most of them understand we have to pass the SAVE Act and we have to support President Trump's efforts to get elections honest and fair.
They're very basic requirements of SAVE Act.
So at least personally speaking for me in Texas, I'm really disappointed that the Republicans who do have the majority in the Senate don't just use that power because the filibuster rule is not in the Constitution.
It's not a federal mandate in law.
It is something that can just be done away with.
And I think that what is really needed more than anything else is to have people around the country, patriots, telling their members, the U.S. Senate, Republican members, we want you to get rid of the filibuster, pass the SAVE Act, get this done.
The SAVE Act is about really saving America's elections.
It is that serious because we've had a decades of corruption and the ability of people who aren't citizens and shouldn't be voting being able to cast a ballot.
This is just getting back to honest elections.
And I really encourage grassroots everywhere to communicate with your senator and say, get the dang thing done and stop worrying about the filibuster rule because it's not, they're not compelled to follow that rule.
They don't have to do it.
They can just put it up, put the issue up, have the vote, get it done.
One of your concerns is, I know this is the president's concern, is that, hey, this has been a custom and tradition.
It used to be a standing filibuster.
That's why he saw the Mr. Smith goes to Washington, but then it became the 60 vote.
And it has, by the way, it's protected us from amnesty.
But his point is the Democrats have been very vocal and they got a quite radical plan about adding maybe Puerto Rico as a state, expanding.
You know, Mike Lee keeps warning about packing the court like FDR tried to do to get over the suppression, that the Democrats will immediately, if they take over the Senate, drop, and the Senate's in the balance right now.
We got to be honest about that, that they will immediately get rid of the filibuster, not even do a standing filibuster so they control things with 51 votes.
Is that your concern?
Is that one of the reasons you're advocating that we got to be very smart about this now?
If there is an opportunity for the Democrats having control of the Senate to end the filibuster, I think there's no doubt they'll do it.
We watched the four years under Biden Harris just running roughshod over the country over the laws, the abuse that was inflicted by the DOJ and the FBI on Trump supporters.
I just think that the base in America, the Republican base, they know we need to have the filibuster to end.
And I think there's no doubt at all the Democrats will do that.
They are on a mission.
They're on a mission that you saw under Biden Harris to really undermine all of the freedoms of America.
The Democrat Party is a very dangerous, radical, leftist place.
And I think they will seize that power and end the filibuster if they can.
What about they just announced, Chip Roy is one of the leaders in this from Texas.
Senator Tuberville jumped in.
But the announcement this past week of, and of course, Keith Self, the Colonel Self, doing a great job leading it also, this congressional anti-Sharia caucus, Sharia Free America Caucus, how important was that for the efforts down here in Texas?
It is hugely important to have Texas congressmen in the lead of it.
And also Congressman Brandon Gill has been outspoken.
My Congressman Keith Self, along with Chip Roy.
This really brings national attention.
You know, I think people who listen to your show are just, they're activists, they're serious thinkers.
And so they probably understood we had a problem for quite a while.
But for the federal government, the United States House of Representatives to form a Sharia-free caucus to put bills in place to try to implement what they're trying to do, which is end the potential for Sharia invading America, it is hugely consequential.
It actually gives legitimacy to the conversation among elected officials in Texas.
It's not just a small little group of people meeting in a dark room whispering about being concerned about Sharia.
The U.S. Congress housed a Sharia-free caucus.
It opens, it gives people permission to talk about it and to talk about it for the serious threat that it is.
The first session they had, they had some incredible witnesses.
And Brandon Gill, who's a rising star, not just in the Texas delegation, Brandon Gill's a rising star in the House of Representatives.
His questioning was just absolutely brilliant as he went through the opposing witnesses to really get to the bottom of how some phony some of their statistics were.
Let's go to Texas now.
Before I talk about Sharia law, you mentioned how radical the Democrats are getting.
We're seeing this all over.
We're seeing it in Minneapolis.
We're seeing it in New York City, in California.
I mean, this is not your father's Democratic Party.
And the Democratic Party had basically, I come from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
When I was a small kid, everybody were Democrats, right?
There was no Republican Party.
The same in Texas.
I mean, Texas has been a Democrat state for a long time, but that's changed over the last 30 years.
Republicans are clearly in power, but you're seeing, and I've been here now for I think three weeks, and we watch the TV ads.
We're meeting every day with people.
The Texas Democratic Party, part of it, like in the Senate 9 situation, you actually have DSA.
You got the Working Family Party down in Houston, very, very strong.
You got Jasmine Crockett.
I think right now, Jasmine Crockett could be odds on favorite to win the Senate primary.
I mean, the Democratic Party in Texas is pretty radical, is it not?
And, you know, I used to comment about the Democrat Party in Minnesota because my family roots in Minnesota.
My dad grew up there, and they were flat out Marxists, the ones, the Democrats in Minneapolis, in Minnesota.
I used to think, well, Texas is different.
You know, we're all Texans here.
We love liberty.
We love the spirit of Texas.
But yes, the Texas Democrat Party is not fighting any of the, they didn't stand up during the four years of Biden Harris against any of the policies.
They all acted like it was normal.
And yes, there are growing core groups within the Democrat Party in Texas.
They're just not on board with the basic idea of a U.S. Constitution, the Texas Constitution, the ideas that give us freedom and opportunity and that whole spirit of Texas individualism and Texas liberty and strength, that is really only owned by the Republican Party in Texas these days.
The Democrats are across the country radical, and I'm sad to say the radical bent of the Democrat Party has come to Texas as well.
Debbie, one of the reasons I think people are so thankful that you're on the Republican National Committee is you're looked at as one of the voices of the grassroots in Texas and one of the leaders of the grassroots in Texas.
Talked about this.
Why is the grassroots in Texas so big, so profound, and quite frankly, is fighting the Republican establishment every day, but winning more than losing.
What is it about Texas that has this kind of very robust grassroots movement?
I'll tell you, my husband and I, I'm going to admit an air here.
I grew up in New York, but my husband and I arrived in Texas in the year 2000.
We were here about two weeks.
We thought, we said, we will never leave.
We love this place.
It's a spirit of liberty.
And part of, I think, it is some of Texas history, just how we came to be a state and fought against, fought for independence first.
We were an independent country ourselves and that briefly and then became part of America.
But I think there's a spirit of liberty that is taught generationally.
A lot of it has to do with ranching and farming and people really living off of their own personal work and responsibility and ability to make their way in the world.
I think there's a spirit of liberty here that is carried on by ranchers and farmers.
But even within the cities, the Republican parties are just, there is a division you allude to.
It's very true.
There's an establishment wing of the party and then the more grassroots wing of the party.
And yes, grassroots are very strong, the grassroots consortas in Texas, very strong and very, and so far, really, I would say, at least publicly, you know, the establishment wing and the consortium, we try to work together.
We have a lot of common ground.
And I think they are recognizing, if you don't recognize in America today, how radical the left is, how dangerous their agenda is, they just left the border open for four years.
So I think maybe Republicans, you have a more establishment group, grassroots group, but we can come together and recognize it's the Democrat, radical, Marxist, socialist agenda and the left of America that is our real enemy.
So I think moving forward, I also think that Republican conservative grassroots types, we speak up a lot and we are active in the legislation.
We go down to legislature during this session.
We try to explain why we think some bill is so important, why this issue must be addressed.
And I think that it does end up carrying the day because the activists and also the state Republican Executive Committee, very, very active, showing up in the legislature, urging them, please stand with this and against this.
So I think there's just an energy that is engaging down here among conservatives.
And I think it's helping to move the party or keep it to the right.
I want to go to break, but I do want to hold you through the break and bring you back.
The grassroots has driven kind of the permission structure, the grassroots force has really forced this whole issue of Prop 10 and Sharia law on the ballot.
But, you know, John Cornyn has put out an ad that he's, you know, he's all for Prop 10 and anti-Sharia law.
The reason there is a proposition on the Marster primary ballot that says Texas should prohibit Sharia law is because of the grassroots.
It is hugely significant that the Attorney General candidates in Texas, all three of them that are seriously in play, talk openly about the danger of Sharia.
The U.S. Senate candidates brought the issue up.
Attorney General Paxon, being very, very, you know, very active in his campaign for U.S. Senate, has talked about the issue.
I think that John Cornyn finally realized, I guess, we have to get on board with this issue.
So it is helping the cause of raising the alarm bell about Sharia that all these players in Texas will now speak up publicly, these candidates, about what would the threat we face in Texas.
Debbie Georgadas, first off, Debbie, give me a minute.
We'll have you back on next week about you're one of the grassroots leaders, how the grassroots should approach talking to people about Proposition 10, ma'am.
Proposition 10 is a single most important vote we can do on in this Marx or primary bill, of course, along with the Senate and the Attorney General race.
But the reason Proposition 10 will pass, but we need it to pass with overwhelming majority.
It'd be great to pass 90%.
And the reason is it gives courage, strength, and a message of pressure to elected officials, state reps, state senators, U.S. Congress, that the people of Texas want you to take action.
And so it doesn't have any impact.
It does not become part of the Constitution.
It's not making a new law.
It's a voice of the people.
It's a primal scream of the people to our elected officials, do something.
So it's Proposition 10.
It just says Texas should prohibit Sharia law.
And there are many, many ways in which Sharia is already in place in Texas.
It's not just about law.
It's about culture too.
But it sends a message that we're defending our American Constitution, our freedom, our very existence as Texas, the land of self-reliance and independence.
I've seen the company now up close and personal for a while.
You're day-to-day running this, running this organization.
We love Glenn's story, but he's on the road talking to people about Patriot Mobile.
You're here running this magnificent company.
You've got a warning.
You want to come on this morning.
We got about five minutes.
You said, hey, the precinct strategy, which has been so powerful in building the grassroots across the nation and particularly in Texas, I just had a precinct chairman on that came in with the precinct strategy.
They're under assault right now with very nefarious activity.
Okay, so I've seen text messages and some banners from these PACs that are not even, you know, registered in the counties where they're going after the precinct chair.
So there's very clever.
The precinct chairs are the folks that are basically boots on the ground, knocking doors, knowing who's running and making recommendations.
And so it's kind of like there's these PACs that are coming in.
So, you know, just you know who your precinct chairs are.
You know who've been fighting for you.
You know who's true to the movement and to the cause.
So be skeptical because this is a very clever game.
There's dark money that's coming into Texas.
And we've seen that even in school board elections.
And now they're going down in the precinct chairs.
So just be very careful about, you know, accepting something that might say MAGA or Trump on it because it can be just, it's like, I feel like this is a psychoperation or something like this.
So basically, we're an activist company and we support our activism by selling cell phone service.
But I mean, you're getting a great product.
We make sure that we buy the, we are buying wholesale, but we're buying at priority levels.
So whatever service you have now, we actually might give you better or this, well, definitely the same, but it could be better than what you're currently having.
I'll be back at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time tomorrow, 10 o'clock in the morning.
11 o'clock, we're going to have our one-hour special on Tina Peters, the 500 days of Tina Peters.
As Tina Peters this weekend, on Valentine's Day weekend and President's Day weekend, we'll be in a maximum security, high security women's prison in Colorado for her 500th day.
