That's the sum total of much of today's show. In all seriousness, the GOP social media scene (which is not reality) was on fire all weekend long on stories of infidelity, inappropriate public behavior, and interview answers from Trump on gender and abortion that Stigall tries to handle in a nuanced way. Of course, in 2023 - political nuance is mostly dead. But he soldiers on nevertheless. Plus, a vicious and cold blooded killing in Vegas, John Fetterman further erodes any shred of dignity left in Congress, and Russell Brand is accused of rape all of the sudden. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Senator John Cornyn joined Democrats to pass a grossly irresponsible pork spending bill which only adds to inflation.

It is impossible to claim oneself as a "fiscal conservative" without one having to make peace with the fascistic elements of the 2022 Republican Party's agenda. From outlawing abortion rights and removing gun safety laws -- to a majority of Republicans voting to ban marriage and contraception -- is it still possible to self-identify as a Grand Old Party moderate?

Fiscal Conservative, vs Theocratic, Republicans
Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) says he knew the Republican Party was headed in the wrong direction in the mid-2000's when it "stopped talked about fiscal conservatism and started talking about flag-burning.” Senator Flake, then a member of the House of Representatives, says the GOP abandoned its conservative principles, spending vast sums of taxpayer money and focusing on fighting at the front lines of the culture wars. On March 15th, the senator stirred up some controversy in a speech at the National Press Club, declaring, “My party might not deserve to lead.” Senator Flake joins Michael and Rick to discuss his concerns with the direction of the Republican Party under President Trump. Congressman Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas 16) talks about his campaign to unseat Senator Ted Cruz and his push to turn Texas purple.
