The Luke Macias Show

Brooks Landgraf is caught up in a big scandal right now. His reaction has taught us a lot, and he’s been elevated even though many of his colleagues have known about these allegations for a long time. The Legislature rewards bad behavior and elevates people who are known bad actors. They try to relegate anyone seeking virtuosity while promoting those with known vices. This is one of the largest pr...

There is a way you can legally vote more than once in Texas. Voter fraud is bad, but this formula is very good. In today’s podcast, we go through a step-by-step process to impact the races you care about in a massive way. Some of the steps are listed below: – Research and make your list. (Endorse down the ballot, Court of Criminal Appeals, Supreme Court, etc.) – Vote EARLY! – Post on all of your s...

Last week,  Texas Scorecard  reported on pro-amnesty forces that are trying to mess with the Texas Republican primaries. This news shocked state politics and caused many politicians to walk away from one of the largest fake grassroots organizations in America. The LIBRE Initiative and Americans for Prosperity have been called out and have doubled down in their support of amnesty. Now, Texas Republ...

Kambree is a native Texan, a true patriot, and a big voice in grassroots circles. A couple of years ago, she left California and came home to Texas. Upon her return, she found a state that wasn’t leading or fighting like it needs to. Kambree has hundreds of thousands of followers and is now educating Texans and calling out cowards left and right. Conversely, Adam Blanchard (a candidate for House D...

The Supreme Court has ruled that some vaccine mandates are unconstitutional. This doesn’t change the need for a fourth special session in order to actually protect Texas citizens. Today’s episode is a conversation with John Davidson, an editor and writer at The Federalist and a senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. John goes into incredible detail regarding the history of the Texas...

Why the heck are we letting unvaccinated Texans get fired by woke corporations and leftist entities who are determined to relegate patriots into the shadows of society? Today’s podcast discusses this issue. The Center for Renewing America, an American First national entity led by Russ Vought and Wade Miller, jumped into this fight by calling on Greg Abbott to take action on behalf of thousands of...

In Texas, though our elected elites are still significantly out of touch with the average Republican voter, we have moved the Overton window significantly. This has occurred because so many Texans just won’t take the excuses provided by politicians.    This cycle’s GOP ballot propositions continue to push the GOP even further toward an offensive strategy that elected Republicans often avoid. This...

One thing is certain about 2022: It’s time for Texas to step up and take it to the next level. In almost every level and arena, we have to do what is necessary to ensure that the societal threats attempting to undermine our state and culture are stopped, and that conservatives actually advance ideas for the first time in a long time. Today’s episode is short. I hope you enjoy your break and enter...

I spend most weeks trying to educate and empower each of you in the hopes that this will give you the tools necessary to enact positive change in Texas. This week, I’m taking a break and, instead, discussing one of the most important seasons of the year: Advent. It’s the historic celebration of the entire Christmas season that the church has used to reorient our hearts and minds. Personally, I thi...

Ken Paxton is pushing CPS to actually start investigating cases of child abuse that involve transitioning children, putting the hot potato back onto Abbott’s agency who keep trying to get out of actually stoping the abuse that’s going on.   The Supreme Court has allowed the Texas Heartbeat to continue being enforced and the Texas Military Forces are being forced to get vaccinated or be relieved of...

The times in which we live are truly remarkable and worth taking some time to digest. How are things changing in our culture and what does this mean for a conservative Texan who wants to fight the good fight? Today we answer that question with my friends Nate Fischer and Saurabh Sharma. Hope you enjoy.

Last week Matt Krause called out Ken Paxton for his delay in an AG opinion on whether genital mutilation is child abuse as determined by CPS’s director. Honestly, I’m not sure which opinion we want Ken Paxton to release, and today we talk about how Krause’s letter has put Ken between a rock and a hard place. Honestly, Ken seems to be joining the ranks of Stephanie Klick, Dustin Burrows, and Greg A...

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Well, I’m giving you the good news first. Good news is that the GENECIS clinic, also known as the group of child abusers who are sexually transitioning Texas children, have been closed down by Children’s Hospital and UT Southwestern. Bad news is that they are doing so to hide the sexual transitioning of kids, not end it. They said so in their statem...

Texas has embraced identity politics and is rationing top-tier COVID care for blacks and Hispanics while denying white and Asian Texans Monoclonal antibody treatment. This news broke over the weekend and has rightfully ticked off a lot of Texans. Today we talk about the problems this reveals and the frustration with the fact that Greg Abbott and his state agents are enforcing this racist regime.

Conservatives across the nation are very concerned about the fate of the Texas Heartbeat Act, after Justices Kavanaugh and Barrett spent a significant amount of their time undermining the law with their questions. Josh Blackman is one of the most respected conservative legal minds in the nation, and he lives here in Texas. Josh was gracious enough to come on the show and expound upon his recent op...

Today is another one of those heavy process episodes where we dive into how some Republican lawmakers in Austin killed a ban on the gender transitioning of minors. Though they don’t make the headline, Jared Patterson, Shelby Slawson, and Jeff Leach will make cameo appearances in this saga, and Matt Krause will leap in front of an oncoming bus. This is a topic we have covered since the beginning of...

Texas is allowing companies across the Lone Star State to fire their employees, Texans are asking why this is happening when Republicans control the Legislature, and State Rep. Steve Toth has now revealed that the reason we can’t pass a bill to protect patriotic Texans is that Greg Abbott doesn’t support the legislation.    Abbott placed a bill to ban vaccine mandates on the agenda in the last wee...

State agency employees in Texas have been advancing radical transgender ideologies with Texas children. A couple of months ago Don Huffines called them out, they covered all of it up and hoped it would go away. Now we know how all of this happened because of some excellent reporting done by the Houston Chronicle. Today’s podcast talks about why this story is going all across the nation, and fallou...

The process in the Texas Legislature is intentionally complex in order to confuse Texas voters about which Republicans are responsible for allowing evil behavior to permeate Texas. Today, we pull the curtain back and explain how Chairman Stephanie Klick killed legislation that would have ended the barbaric practice of genital mutilation and chemical castration of Texas children. This episode is in...

This week, we talk about two different things going on with election integrity that seem to have risen to the top: policy and political drama that is plaguing weak GOP elites. First, we have Donald Trump calling on Greg Abbott to audit the 2020 elections in Texas, a move that has been requested by election integrity experts across the nation. Abbott has not only refused to do so, but he I s also p...

Our nation and state are shifting further left, and politicians who claim to be with us seem to be letting it happen. Institutions are driving a Marxist agenda, even in red states. So, what do we do about it?  Today, I have a conversation with Pedro Gonzales, an associate editor at  Chronicles Magazine  and a fellow at the Claremont Institute. Pedro is someone I have looked up to for several years...

What will it take to end sexual transitioning of Texas children? The theme of today’s podcast developed a month ago when Texas Values, the largest family policy organization in Texas, proudly announced that Gov. Greg Abbott would keynote their annual policy orientation. The organization received more than a little criticism from grassroots activists for placing a politician on a pedestal who close...

For all of our listeners and viewers you don’t wonder about my position on this issue, but it’s a massive debate going on around the nation and around the world. Texas is part of that discussion and today I sit down with Austin Attorney and Democrat donor Adam Loewy to debate the issue of whether abortion should remain legal in Texas. I’m very grateful to Adam Loewy for being willing to have this...

Today we tackle abortion. It’s an issue that I’ve been involved with since first getting involved in politics. I actually share a birthday with the tragic supreme court ruling, roe v. wade. The Texas Heartbeat act is dominating the news right now and today is a great time to have the conversation about what our end goal is when it comes to protecting unborn children and ensuring their humanity is...

Last week was incredibly eye-opening for Texans who are fighting for a secure border. Republican Chairman Greg Bonnen made it crystal clear that the Texas legislature has no intention of securing our southern border and even said that his plan to spend $1.8 billion in taxpayer money was to build some border barriers to “shift the flow of people into more specific areas to identify more of them”. S...
