The Luke Macias Show

China is hell-bent on indoctrinating our children and young adults here in Texas. Today, we sit down with Robert Montoya and go in-depth on four  Texas Scorecard  pieces that explain how China is using its money to infiltrate our education institutions and indoctrinate our children. This is something they know a little about, since they are professional indoctrinators. We need to get China out of...

Today we are joined by Ken Cuccinelli who lays out exactly why we need a border invasion officially declared and illegals then returned to Mexico. We can do this as a state because the founders specified when such actions could be taken and empowered states to repel invasions when the federal government was not doing so. This is something conservatives have been calling for over the last year. We...

Republican leadership is aggressively moving to punish several conservative lawmakers while also working to send a chilling message to incoming freshmen like Carrie Isaac, Terri Leo-Wilson, Nate Schatlzine, Mark Dorazio, Ellen Troxclair, and others. The House GOP Caucus’ long-standing rule to “privately criticize and publicly praise” is being set aside in this rare occasion, as they move to censur...

Today, we start by addressing Greg Abbott’s new border policies that continue to have the identical effect of almost all of his border policies, which is that they haven’t even slowed the invasion of Texas. While quite a few misleading headlines made it sound like his policy is “pushing back against Biden,” 26,000 illegals crossed into Texas the week Abbott announced his policy change. John Cornyn...

While this week’s message is coming to you a day after independence day, it was recorded on the 4th and the message is still clear. We should be very grateful for the sacrifices made by our founders. We should also be grateful that most of the politicians that are serving today were not among the founders. God only knows where we would be then. We should also realize that the sacrifices made by no...

I would be lying if I told you that I expected this day to come anytime soon. It has felt surreal driving around in a post-Roe world. A wrongly decided court case forced upon us by cowardly men has now been reversed. Today, we spend some time breaking down what the ruling means for our nation and state. We also discuss the kinds of pro-life policies that will be discussed next session to ensure th...

Last week was the Texas Republican Convention. We saw some huge wins for Texas conservatives. Matt Rinaldi won re-election unopposed, Dan Patrick gave a fantastic convention speech where he committed to supporting and advancing Republican priorities quickly next session and John Cornyn got booed for 80% of his talk.   Conservatives saw some big wins in SREC races with Rachel Horton, Karen Marshall...

Two weeks ago, I told you that John Cornyn was working on selling out Texas gun owners. This week, it was announced that he’s ready to strike a deal with Democrats and pass more legislation that will make it harder for law-abiding gun owners to purchase firearms. This is beyond disrespectful to Texas voters, and today we break down why this is an insult to Republicans.

Governor Greg Abbott has caved and decided to financially sponsor the Texas GOP convention. This is a big grassroots win toward the unity that we need to have going into November. This week we discuss the timeline of how this all happened. We also get to sit down with Tim Hardin to discuss the Texas Prosperity Plan which has been rolled out by Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. If you believe Prope...

John Cornyn is trying to take full advantage of the Uvalde crisis to pass gun control legislation supported by national Democrats. What happened in Uvalde is truly heartbreaking. The details that have come out following this travesty are even more angering and work as a reminder to just how often government will fail to protect you and your family. While politicians like Greg Abbott and Dade Phela...

Today is Election Day in a Republican runoff that has continued to get more heated as Austin elites have poured a mountain of money into attempts to buy concentrated power against the grassroots. Sydnie Henry just published a piece about how  Joe Straus is joining the fight  to try and drag these liberal Republicans across the finish line. It’s important to remember that this is largely a fight to...

The Texas Supreme Court made a complex ruling this week regarding whether or not the Department of Family and Protective Services can continue to investigate parents who are abusing their children through gender transition therapy. This ruling is complex because it’s hard to enforce a law that was killed by Stephanie Klick, Dustin Burrows, and Dade Phelan. The march of the sexual revolutionaries c...

Last Saturday’s election results sent shockwaves across Texas. Parents woke up and kicked out a ton of liberal school board members from North Texas to San Antonio. What does this mean for our state? We have witnessed politicians like Cody Harris and Greg Abbott shift to the right when it comes to their rhetoric against teacher unions. Will this mean that the stronghold teacher unions have long ha...

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time studying the theologies and doctrines around the state. As a Christian whose professional life and vocational calling are significantly invested in politics, it’s been a worthwhile endeavor to further understand what God has created and what purpose the state serves. Today’s discussion is longer than most, and I invited three distinguished guests to join me....

All of you have watched Ron Desantis go from championing a strong parental rights bill that simply said teachers can’t discuss things of a sexual nature with K-3 children, to fighting nearly every pillar of society who attacked him as a bigot, to getting threatened by one of the largest employers in his state, to going on the offensive and removing special government protections for Disney. This e...

Everyone is getting their property appraisals in, and they are skyrocketing. This is the government’s way of trying to take more of your money every year. The good news for you is that a huge surplus is coming in 2023, which gives state lawmakers plenty of funding to provide meaningful and lasting property tax relief. If you’re like me, you don’t follow Houston politics. But it’s worth knowing tha...

A lot continues to happen in Texas politics. We start off this week talking about Greg Abbott’s new border policies, one having positive effects and the other an insulting gimmick. The portion that is having a positive effect was actually a plank in the Don Huffines campaign that Dade Phelan criticized at the time. But that’s not the only thing Phelan is criticizing. He’s also leaping to the defen...

Texas politicos have been asking themselves why Greg Abbott is going against not only the conservative coalition that opposed his re-election but Texans for Lawsuit Reform, Mayes Middleton, Charter School and school-choice advocates and the Teas Public Policy Foundation. Greg Abbott rolled out a slew of runoff endorsements and chose the more liberal candidate in every race. His endorsements point...

Facts are facts. Senate Bill 1646 was a strong bill that would have called transitioning a minor “child abuse.” The Texas Senate passed the bill. Dan Patrick, Charles Perry, Bob Hall, and Bryan Hughes acted quickly and resolutely to defend Texas children. State Rep. Stephanie Klick then killed the bill and forced Ken Paxton to try to protect these kids without the legislative backing for his actio...

Today we sit down with Nate Hochman, who just wrote a fantastic piece drawing attention to the difference between Greg Abbott’s rhetoric about Texas’ border policy and the actual results of his border plan. Most politicians’ rhetoric and results don’t often match up, and Greg Abbott is no exception. Nate was gracious enough to come and walk through this in-depth article with us. I’m truly grateful...

The “strongest ever CRT ban bill” in the nation as some call it is evidently not strong enough. Today we bring to you a story first reported by News 4 San Antonio. Leftist corporations are mad that conservatives forced weak Texas politicians to protect children from some gender modification, and they are speaking out about it, sadly these are the same corporations receiving taxpayer funded handout...

The results are in, and it’s clear that GOP voters expect the next legislative session to be the most conservative session in Texas history. I, for one, am excited about how united GOP voters were in supporting all 10 GOP ballot initiatives. Today, we unpack each initiative and remind Texans of what it will take to ensure that those propositions become law. U.S. Rep. Chip Roy gave Texans an import...

I ran back into the studio yesterday to cut a podcast discussing the results of the March 1 GOP primary. Nothing surprised me on election night. There were a few close calls but nothing surprised me. The last year has been a truly epic ride for Texas Republicans and it’s been a year of conservatives dominating the party. The establishment elites control of our party diminished significantly and it...

Today’s episode is a little less conventional, but we are discussing the increasingly de-churched republican primary voter. Over the last several weeks I’ve encountered more and more Texans who fit this profile and I wanted to take the time today to address the concerns this has created and necessity of this matter.

Last week I mailed out tens of thousands of voter guides to my fellow conservatives in Bexar County. I have fielded hundreds of calls from voters over the last several days and have learned a ton. I wanted to share some of my biggest takeaways from the conversations I’ve had with every-day Texans. I’m incredibly hopeful after the productive conversations and the hunger I have heard from citizens w...
