Republican *Ken Paxton* preaches the Ten Commandments while committing adultery. *Trump's* at Walter Reed again. And the Republican map eraser works overtime. *IN THIS EPISODE:* ▪️ Paxton wants the Ten Commandments in every Texas classroom — his wife filed for divorce citing adultery on "biblical grounds." ▪️ Paxton was impeached on 20 articles. Not exonerated — he pled out. Paid $300,000. ▪️ Trump makes his third trip to Walter Reed since returning to office. No one's explaining why. ▪️ A federal judge wrote TWICE that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll. ABC paid $20 million to avoid saying so on air. ▪️ South Carolina Republicans tried to erase James Clyburn's congressional seat. The state Senate blocked it — for now. ▪️ Alabama: Federal judges threw out the map designed to kill majority-Black districts. The GOP is appealing. ▪️ Florida: Four Democratic seats erased by Republican remapping. A judge refused to block it. ▪️ The Texas Senate runoff — Paxton vs. Cornyn — and what it tells you about Trump's grip on Republican voters. *KEY FIGURES COVERED:* Ken Paxton • John Cornyn • James Talarico • Donald Trump • E. Jean Carroll • James Clyburn • Sam Alito • Angela Paxton • Jasmine Crockett • Beto O'Rourke • Colin Allred

Today on America in the MorningTexas Primary Results Texas voters have made their choice in several primary runoff elections that could shift the balance of power in Congress in November, and it was also another case of a President Trump endorsement that put a candidate over the top.  Correspondent Clayton Neville reports a longtime GOP Senator is accepting a rare defeat.   Washington State Tank Implosion A search and recovery operation is underway in Longview, Washington following an implosion of a tank involving hazardous chemicals at a pulp and paper mill that has left multiple people dead and injured and nine people unaccounted for.  As correspondent Lisa Dwyer reports, this is now the second hazardous materials incident on the West Coast in less than a week.  South Carolina & Alabama Redistricting News Two states made news regarding redistricting and their upcoming primary elections.  Correspondent Marcela Sanchez reports that the GOP in South Carolina backed down on their plans to redraw their maps that would have split up Democrat Jim Clyburn's district, and a court has ruled against Alabama's plan to carve out new districts what would have helped Republicans.   SCOTUS Rules Against Meta The Supreme Court has ruled against Meta in a case involving social media addiction.  Correspondent Ed Donahue explains.   Union Rideshares You can now look for the union label when you hail a ride in Massachusetts.  Ride share drivers in the Bay State have organized in what labor leaders are calling a big victory for union recognition.  Correspondent Jennifer King reports.   Paxton's Big Victory They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the GOP US Senate primary runoff election between incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, which became the most expensive US Senate primary race in American history with nearly $130 million dollars spent, and a lot of it on attack ads.  It's expected even more will be spent in the November election battle between Paxton and Democrat James Talarico.  Correspondent Clayton Neville is in Dallas and has a recap of the Texas primary.   Trump's Cabinet Meeting A cabinet meeting scheduled to be held at Camp David involving President Trump and his administration to discuss Iran will instead be held at the White House today.  Progress toward reaching a deal has been murky, with the US striking targets near the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran demanding billions of dollars in frozen assets be unfrozen.  Correspondent Ed Donahue reports on the ongoing negotiations.   Latest On Southern California Toxic Tank Some evacuations have been lifted but potential danger still exists in a toxic chemical situation in Southern California.  Jim Roope reports from Los Angeles that the incident just 6 miles from Disneyland is going to take a while to clean up.   GOP Says No To South Carolina Map Changes The Republican-led South Carolina state Senate voted Tuesday against advancing a new congressional map, ending the redistricting effort in the state for now and in defiance of President Trump.  Lisa Dwyer reports that the move will not eliminate a majority-Black Democrat district represented by longtime Congressman James Clyburn. Vance Talks Fraud Vice President JD Vance met with a number of Republican State Attorneys General at the White House Tuesday as part of the administration's effort to crack down on fraud in government programs.  Sue Aller reports that Democrat AG's declined the invitation to attend. Confidence Concerns With gas prices hovering near a nationwide average of $4-50-a-gallon, and other costs still higher than expected, Americans' confidence in the economy has taken a hit.  Correspondent Mike Hempen reports.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The Trump-led redistricting effort in South Carolina failed in the state senate after several Republicans defected, joining Democrats to block the new map from advancing to a final vote.New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to seize neglected properties from landlords and transfer them to new ownership groups. The Supreme Court slammed the brakes on a high-stakes, cross-country legal war, throwing out a lawsuit by Florida that aimed to punish blue states for putting allegedly unqualified illegal immigrants behind the wheel of deadly 80,000-pound rigs.Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico, a Democrat, is again claiming the Bible supports his position that the government should allow the murder of unborn babies up until the moment of birth.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/supportAimee's Audios Subliminal Acoustic Fingerprinting: https://www.aimeesaudios.com/If recent events have proven anything, you need to be as prepared as possible for when things go sideways.

May 23, 2026, 8 AM; Clyburn is South Carolina's only Black member of the U.S. House and one of the most influential voices in congress and the Democratic party, and this move would further dilute Black voting power in the state for potentially decades. The new map still has to get through the State Senate, which yesterday failed to secure enough votes to finalize it before early voting begins Tuesday in South Carolina's primary election. Some Republicans don't seem to be totally on board with five of them joining Democrats in opposing a rushed process. Fmr. Rep. Joe Cunningham and Adam Serwer join The Weekend to discuss the latest redistricting efforts by the GOP in that state.

Mike reacts to Trump’s undefeated primary streak and the media’s confusing polling narrative, asking how a president supposedly sitting in the 30s nationally can still dominate Republican politics with sky-high party approval. From establishment Republicans panicking over the America First movement to a passionate defense of talk radio’s staying power, Mike connects the dots between political momentum, media narratives, and the loyal audiences still driving conservative influence across the country. Plus, a fiery breakdown of South Carolina redistricting, James Clyburn’s decades-long grip on power, and why Mike believes common sense voters are finally pushing back against political games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Truth to Power, in this important mid-term election year, we bring you a conversation with U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn about his book "The First Eight: A Personal History of the Pioneering Black Congressmen Who Shaped a Nation," with Louisville's former Congressman John Yarmuth. Jim Clyburn is the U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1993. He previously served as House Majority Whip from 2019 to 2022 and 2007 to 2010, making him the first African American to serve multiple terms as Majority Whip. Currently, he serves as the Ranking Member on the Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. The recipient of 39 honorary degrees, Congressman Clyburn's numerous awards include: the Lyndon Baines Johnson Liberty and Justice for All Award in 2015; the Harry S Truman Foundation's Good Neighbor Award in 2021; the NAACP's highest honor — the Spingarn Medal — in 2022, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation's highest civilian honor — in 2024. His endorsement of Joe Biden for president in 2020 is credited with boosting him to an overwhelming victory in the South Carolina and subsequent primaries and setting Biden on the path to the presidency. Clyburn's book, The First Eight, is an extraordinary work of living history. It explores the powerful, untold story of the pioneering Black politicians from South Carolina who were elected to Congress in the aftermath of the Civil War, and a revealing explanation of why it took nearly a century before the ninth, James Clyburn, was elected. Learn more about the book at https://www.carmichaelsbookstore.com/book/9780316572743 John Yarmuth is a former United States Congressman who served eight terms as the representative of Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District (2007-2023) and was chairman of the House Budget Committee from 2019-2023. He was the primary sponsor of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Yarmuth became the first Kentuckian to join the Progressive Congressional Caucus. He has been recognized for his work to improve education and expand access to affordable health care. Prior to his congressional career, he founded and edited the Louisville Eccentric Observer (LEO), a weekly alternative newspaper. During his 15 years with LEO, Yarmuth won nearly 20 awards for column and editorial writing. This conversation was held before a live audience at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville on November 24, 2025. It was produced by the UofL Kentucky Author Forum and was released in January as the fifty-ninth episode of Great Podversations (https://kentuckyauthorforum.com/podcast/great-podversations-episode-59-clyburn-yarmuth/).

James Clyburn went on CNN and accidentally admitted that the redistricting he's calling racist could actually triple Democrat representation in South Carolina — then kept opposing it anyway, and Jake Tapper never asked the obvious follow-up question. Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed Tennessee wants to "wipe out every black representative," MSNBC's Morning Joe panel called the redistricting "white supremacy" and an attempt to "steal an election," and Scott Jennings laid out exactly why Republicans just went from despair to resurgent overnight.

Send a textWelcome to the fourth installment of our special tribute series honoring the life and legacy of the Reverend Jesse Jackson — a minister, civil rights leader, presidential candidate, and one of the most recognizable voices in American public life for more than half a century.Over the course of this series, we've revisited the moments that defined Reverend Jackson's remarkable journey — his speeches, his activism, and the powerful moral language he brought to the national conversation about justice, opportunity, and human dignity.Today's episode brings you a montage drawn from two memorial gatherings held in his honor — one in Columbia, South Carolina, and another in Chicago, Illinois, the city where Reverend Jackson built much of his life's work and where his influence on American politics and civil rights was deeply felt.From these ceremonies, you will hear remarks from Congressman James Clyburn, longtime leader in the U.S. House of Representatives and a close friend of Reverend Jackson. You'll also hear from Greenville, South Carolina Mayor Knox White, reflecting on Jackson's roots in South Carolina and the lasting imprint he left on the state and the nation. And we include words from former President Bill Clinton, who spoke about Jackson's role in shaping a generation of political leaders and expanding the boundaries of democratic participation.We do regret that we are unable to include the remarks delivered by Ambassador Andrew Young, former Mayor of Atlanta and former United Nations Ambassador. His words in Columbia were deeply meaningful, but unfortunately they were delivered without a microphone and could not be captured clearly enough for broadcast.We also want to note that Reverend Jackson's family asked that these memorial ceremonies remain moments of remembrance rather than political rallies. Out of respect for that request, we made an editorial decision in producing this program. Several speakers — including some very prominent figures — turned their remarks into overtly political speeches. Even when those speakers included former Presidents or a former Vice President, we chose not to include those portions of the program. Our goal here is to honor the spirit of the occasion and the wishes of the family.What you will hear instead is a carefully assembled tribute — voices remembering Jesse Jackson's life, his faith, and his commitment to lifting others.And woven throughout the program, you'll also hear Jesse Jackson in his own words — excerpts from speeches across the decades, reminding us of the conviction, rhythm, and hope that defined his voice.From Columbia and Chicago, this is our fourth tribute episode honoring Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Rep. James Clyburn joins Margaret Hoover to talk about “The First Eight,” his recent book about the eight Black South Carolinians who served in Congress before him and why their stories still matter.During reconstruction after the Civil War, South Carolina sent eight Black men to Congress. After the last of them left office in 1897, it would be 95 years before the ninth–Clyburn–was elected in 1992. Clyburn explains why there was such a long gap and why he believes the segregationist past presents a cautionary tale for America today.He criticizes President Trump and the MAGA movement, and he warns that the Supreme Court could disenfranchise Black voters if it further weakens the Voting Rights Act.Clyburn, who is 85 and in his 17th term in Congress, reflects on his legacy, offers a message for the next generation of Democrats, and expresses hope for the nation's future.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, Katharine J. Rayner, Lindsay and George Billingsley, The Meadowlark Foundation, and Jared Stone.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New C&B Steak Bet! Kamala Harris announced she will not run for California governor in 2026. Clay and Buck analyze her new book, 107 Days, and preview her upcoming appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—her first major interview since her 2024 presidential campaign defeat. Clay and Buck make a new steak bet about Kamala Harris’s political future. They engage in a spirited discussion over whether Harris will run for president in 2028. Clay argues she will, citing her age, lack of alternative pursuits, and her unique position as a Black female candidate with strong name recognition. Buck counters that Harris is politically finished, suggesting she’s more likely to take a ceremonial role at a university or think tank. The conversation touches on Democratic Party strategy, the importance of the South Carolina primary, and the influence of figures like James Clyburn. Mayor Mamdani? The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts critique mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his past support of defunding the police and his proposal for city-run grocery stores. They warn that his policies could lead to economic and public safety disasters, drawing comparisons to failed socialist models. The segment includes a broader critique of progressive governance and its effects on urban housing, crime, and affordability. Dr. Oz on the Future of Healthcare Dr. Oz, now serving as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Trump administration, outlines the administration’s ambitious healthcare agenda. He addresses the skyrocketing cost of healthcare in America, the chronic disease epidemic, and the mental health crisis, emphasizing the role of loneliness as a key driver of poor health outcomes. Dr. Oz also highlights a recent White House event where major tech and healthcare companies pledged to return control of medical records to patients and modernize healthcare through digital innovation. A major focus is the “big beautiful bill” that introduced work requirements for Medicaid recipients, aiming to restore dignity and autonomy to able-bodied Americans while preserving the program’s integrity. Dr. Oz defends the policy as a moral and economic imperative, drawing parallels to President Clinton’s welfare reform. The conversation shifts to prescription drug pricing, where Dr. Oz announces a new “most favored nation” pricing policy to combat global freeloading and reduce U.S. drug costs. He compares this initiative to NATO’s cost-sharing model, asserting that America should no longer bear the financial burden of global pharmaceutical R&D alone. Technology’s transformative role in healthcare is another key theme. Dr. Oz discusses how AI, robotics, and automation will streamline care, reduce administrative waste, and combat fraud—highlighting a recent $15 billion DOJ takedown of a multinational criminal network exploiting Medicare. FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak joins the show to discuss the agency’s efforts to protect consumers from sophisticated scams, including AI-driven voice cloning fraud. She outlines the FTC’s enforcement mechanisms, collaboration with the DOJ, and focus on anti-competitive mergers in the fast-evolving tech sector. Holyoak also promotes the FTC’s “Made in USA” labeling enforcement, encouraging businesses and consumers to report violations.

Support the Benjamin Dixon Show: http://Patreon.com/thebpdshowAs the threat of MAGA fascism grows, the Democratic establishment's Black elders and seniors—like James Clyburn and Hakeem Jeffries—continue to side with the status quo, even when it means blocking progressive change and working alongside Republicans. This episode, Benjamin Dixon is joined by Margaret Kimberley of Black Agenda Report to break down the generational divide within Black politics, call out the Congressional Black Caucus, and spotlight the fight for real progress in New York, where Zohran Mamdani stands as a true alternative. It's an honest, urgent look at why Black leadership must do more than simply survive—they must fight for the future. Become a patron!
