Podcast appearances and mentions of Ken Paxton

A political battle is brewing in Washington as President Donald Trump signals he won't endorse John Cornyn unless Republicans move forward on election security legislation. The move follows pressure from Ken Paxton, who is challenging Cornyn and pushing for passage of the SAVE Act. The clash exposes deeper tensions within the GOP between establishment leadership and Trump-aligned conservatives—and could reshape the party's future. Summary: President Donald Trump may be battling adversaries abroad, but a new political fight is unfolding at home—inside the Republican Party. The dispute centers on the Senate race between incumbent John Cornyn and challenger Ken Paxton. Paxton has urged Trump not to endorse Cornyn unless Senate Republicans pass the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections and tighten election security rules. Trump signaled over the weekend that he agrees with the demand, saying the legislation must move forward before he makes an endorsement decision. The standoff is being viewed by supporters as a significant moment in Trump's relationship with the GOP establishment. The conflict also highlights the influence of Senate leadership, including John Thune, who critics say has slowed confirmation of presidential nominees. Supporters of Trump argue these delays have made it harder for the administration to fill key legal and regulatory positions. Beyond the Senate drama, the broader political environment remains intense. Trump has also been outspoken on foreign policy—from the ongoing confrontation with Iran to discussions about Cuba's future—while trying to push his domestic agenda through a divided Washington. For many observers, the Texas Senate fight could become a defining test of loyalty and power inside the Republican Party heading into the next election cycle. Key Takeaways Donald Trump is holding back an endorsement in the Texas Senate race. Ken Paxton is pushing for passage of the SAVE Act before any endorsement. Incumbent John Cornyn faces a growing challenge within his own party. Senate leadership under John Thune is under scrutiny over delays in confirming nominees. The showdown could reshape internal GOP politics ahead of future elections. Topic Tags: Trump Politics, GOP Infighting, SAVE Act, Election Security, Texas Senate Race

Donald Trump's approach to global threats is in the spotlight. From Iran to Cuba to Latin American cartels, Trump and allies like Marco Rubio and Ken Paxton reportedly coordinated with regional leaders to dismantle criminal networks and eliminate hostile leadership. Today's episode unpacks the strategy, potential risks, and historic implications of these actions for U.S. foreign policy and national security. Episode Summary The focus of today's discussion is Trump's multi-pronged strategy against international threats, including the Iranian regime, Cuban instability, and Latin American cartels. Analysts claim Trump coordinated with allies and local governments to neutralize dangerous actors and assert U.S. dominance in critical regions. Key highlights include: Trump's leadership style described as combining Reagan-era decisiveness with bold, contemporary military strategy. Iran's leadership targeted to prevent future threats, drawing parallels to prior U.S. operations in Afghanistan. Coordination with Latin American countries to dismantle cartel networks and secure borders. The use of precise military force, including targeted strikes, as a tool to stabilize regions and protect U.S. interests. Concerns about potential disasters, such as nuclear or dirty bomb attacks, and strategies to mitigate these risks. Assertions that Democrats may have been allied with hostile foreign actors, emphasizing the urgency of decisive action.

Key Takeaways Trump and allies engaged with multiple Latin American nations to combat cartels and organized crime.

President Donald Trump is confronting adversaries abroad while battling political resistance at home. As U.S. forces escalate operations against Iran and negotiations swirl around Cuba, Trump is also pressuring Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act before endorsing John Cornyn in a heated primary challenge from Ken Paxton. The result: a high-stakes clash shaping both global strategy and domestic politics. Episode Summary The Trump administration is simultaneously navigating major geopolitical tensions and an escalating fight inside Washington. Abroad, U.S. and allied forces have intensified operations against Iran, reportedly striking thousands of targets and crippling major military infrastructure. Former commander David Petraeus says the U.S. has effectively achieved air supremacy, enabling expanded use of heavy bombers and carrier strike groups now moving into the region. The deployment includes the USS Gerald R. Ford and the USS George H. W. Bush. Strategically, analysts argue control of key global shipping routes—from the Strait of Hormuz to the Suez Canal—could reshape global power dynamics, particularly in relation to China's energy imports. Meanwhile, Trump also hinted at major changes in Cuba, joking that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could resolve the situation quickly as negotiations reportedly involve members of the Castro family. Back home, the biggest political fight may be inside Trump's own party. The president is withholding support from Senator John Cornyn unless Republicans move forward on the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The move follows pressure from Ken Paxton, who is challenging Cornyn in the primary and urging Trump to leverage his endorsement to force action on election security. At the same time, a federal case involving Asif Merchant has raised new questions about alleged Iranian assassination plots targeting Trump and other U.S. officials—adding another layer to the escalating conflict between Washington and Tehran. With military operations expanding overseas and political battles intensifying at home, the coming weeks could prove pivotal for both U.S. foreign policy and the future of the Republican Party. Key Takeaways U.S. forces are escalating military operations against Iran with carrier groups and heavy bombers. Global shipping chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz could become strategic leverage points. Negotiations regarding Cuba reportedly involve figures connected to the Castro family. Donald Trump is pressuring Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act. The Texas Senate primary between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn is becoming a key political battleground. A federal trial involving Asif Merchant raises new concerns about Iranian threats. Topic Tags: Trump Administration, Iran War, Cuba Politics, SAVE Act, GOP Infighting, Global Strategy

Lindsey Graham claims credit for pushing Donald Trump into an unauthorized war with Iran by using word association games and flattery. This conflict has escalated rapidly as the US and Israel utilize advanced artificial intelligence to pick bombing targets and assess battle damage. Despite the lack of an imminent threat or a clear exit strategy, military strikes have already resulted in the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials. Iran has retaliated by targeting US radar installations across the Gulf region, successfully degrading defense systems in multiple countries. At home, American citizens face the consequences with gas prices surging toward $5 a gallon. Within the Republican party, internal friction grows as Dan Crenshaw loses his primary for being insufficiently aligned with the MAGA movement. Donald Trump now threatens to block all legislation unless the SAVE Act is passed, even as a record number of GOP members choose to retire rather than serve in the minority. While global tensions rise and Trump suggests Cuba may be the next target, the focus remains on a war that many argue was entirely avoidable.

The conversation centers on the theme of grassroots mobilization versus "swamp" funding, highlighting how Toth overcame significant financial disadvantages by outworking his opponent and effectively defining his conservative message. The participants critique the influence of special interest groups and defense contractors, while praising the statesmanship of figures like Ken Paxton for prioritizing national interests over personal ambition. Finally, the dialogue serves as a critique of progressive policies, specifically targeting James Talarico and issues such as critical race theory, to frame the upcoming election as a battle for cultural and constitutional integrity.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 6, 2026. We break down a high-stakes political chess match unfolding in Texas and what it could mean for election integrity nationwide. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton makes a bold strategic move in the Senate race against John Cornyn—offering to step aside if Senate leadership allows a vote on the SAVE Act, legislation requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. The maneuver also puts pressure on Donald Trump as he weighs a possible endorsement in a deeply divided Republican primary. We also cover major headlines you need to know, including a congressional vote preserving the president’s authority to conduct military operations against Iran, a violent attack on the security detail of San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, and a Texas congressman stepping down amid a personal scandal. Later, we examine a controversial ruling from an Indiana judge who claimed abortion could qualify as a protected religious act under state law—and what that interpretation could mean for religious liberty and constitutional limits. American Mamas segment, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question many women are quietly asking: were young women sold a lie about “having it all”? They discuss career pressures, motherhood, and why some women are reconsidering the cultural push to delay family in favor of professional success. Plus, in Digging Deep, the conversation turns to faith and politics as a Michigan Democrat leaves her party, saying its platform conflicts with biblical principles. Plus: Fake News Friday, a debate over political speeches at the funeral of Jesse Jackson, and reflections on America’s strength in a changing global landscape.

1. U.S. Military Action & Objectives in Iran The U.S., alongside Israel, has conducted a major military campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s military capabilities—missiles, drones, and leadership structure. Primary objective: Regime collapse, not a prolonged war. Trump administration views the Iranian regime as a 47‑year sponsor of terrorism and responsible for killing Americans. Intelligence suggested Iran was rapidly scaling missile and drone production, prompting immediate action. The Ayatollah and much of Iran’s security leadership were reportedly eliminated early in the conflict. 2. Nuclear & Terror Concerns Iran previously claimed it had enriched uranium sufficient for 11 nuclear bombs. U.S. officials believed Iran intended to develop and potentially use nuclear weapons. Iran has provided an estimated 90% of funding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis over decades. 3. Impact on China via Oil Disruption Iran historically sent 87% of its oil exports to China; Venezuela sent ~55%. U.S. actions against both nations’ regimes have significantly disrupted China’s energy supply chain. 4. Shake-Up at the Department of Homeland Security President Trump removed Christy Noem as DHS Secretary. Replacement: Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. Noem faced backlash during Senate questioning—especially from Sen. John Kennedy—regarding: $220M in DHS-funded TV ads featuring her Possible improper contracting Claims that Trump approved the campaign (which he denied) Her testimony was viewed as damaging, contributing to her removal. 5. Texas Primary Elections Major developments in several key GOP races: Dan Crenshaw lost his House primary to Steve Toth, receiving criticism for confrontational behavior and losing touch with constituents. Multiple candidates endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz won their primaries (Jessica Steinman, Chris Gober, John Bank). Texas Senate GOP runoff: John Cornyn vs. Ken Paxton—an expensive, bitter contest. Democratic nominee: James Talarico—portrayed as ideologically extreme but rhetorically moderate, making him a potentially formidable opponent. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Kristi Noem's tenure as DHS secretary was marked by significant controversy, including a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign featuring her prominently to urge self-deportations, which drew bipartisan criticism for waste and self-promotion, alongside allegations of mismanagement, chaotic leadership, and scrutiny over her close ties to adviser Corey Lewandowski. President Trump fired Noem and nominated Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R) to replace her as homeland security secretary, effective March 31, 2026, while reassigning Noem to a new role as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, focused on Western Hemisphere security.

In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down the Trump administration's military action against Iran and the political and religious rhetoric surrounding the conflict. They examine the contradictions in Republican messaging, with some officials describing the action as a war while others insist it is not. Brad and Dan also discuss the lack of a clear public justification similar to what preceded previous conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan, the internal divisions within the MAGA coalition over foreign intervention, and the growing criticism coming from prominent conservative voices. The conversation also explores how Christian nationalist rhetoric is being used to frame the conflict, with several political and religious leaders describing the situation in explicitly religious terms or invoking biblical responsibility toward Israel. Brad and Dan contrast these narratives with dissenting voices within conservative and Catholic circles who oppose military escalation. The episode also turns to the Texas primary results, including James Talarico winning the Democratic Senate nomination, record Democratic turnout, and the high profile Republican runoff between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. Together, these developments highlight ongoing fractures within the Republican coalition and shifting political dynamics heading into the next election cycle.

Tara also covers the State of the Union spectacle, Democrats flaunting illegal immigrants, and the surprising alignment of Middle Eastern allies against Iran. Episode Summary: In this episode, Tara connects domestic politics, foreign policy, and moral accountability: Trump's fraught relationship with GOP senators like John Thune and John Cornyn, showing how betrayal and blocked appointments hinder U.S. governance. Ken Paxton's potential withdrawal in favor of passing the SAVE Act, prioritizing policy over politics and exposing Republican leadership games. Voter integrity concerns, including ghost voters, dead voters, and voter roll manipulation, highlighting the stakes of enforcing election law. The horrifying story of Antifa Rajabi Salah, a teenage girl executed in Iran for reporting sexual abuse, illustrating the deadly consequences of empowering tyrannical regimes with U.S. money. The State of the Union spectacle where Democrats brought illegal immigrants as political props, revealing their misplaced priorities over American safety. Geopolitical updates: Iran's attacks, Middle Eastern countries uniting with the U.S., and the surprising pariah status of the UK and France in the Gulf. Tara emphasizes why Trump's actions abroad, paired with domestic vigilance, reflect a response to decades of moral and political failures. Key Topics Covered: Trump's conflict with GOP senators & political betrayal SAVE Act, filibuster issues, and Republican leadership accountability Election integrity: ghost voters, dead voters, and voter roll enforcement Human rights atrocities in Iran: Antifa Rajabi Salah's story State of the Union controversy: Democrats flaunting illegal immigrants Middle Eastern alliances, Iran strikes, and U.S. geopolitical strategy

Tara breaks down the battle inside the Republican Party as Donald Trump faces resistance from establishment senators like John Cornyn and John Thune. Attorney General Ken Paxton emerges as the unexpected hero, threatening to drop out unless the Senate lifts the filibuster to pass the Save America Act—a bill aimed at cleaning voter rolls and securing fair elections. Tara explains how Paxton's selfless stance could reshape the Republican fight against voter fraud and stop the “uniparty” from helping Democrats win. Episode Summary: In this episode, Tara explores the high-stakes political drama inside the GOP. She compares Trump's loyalty to the party establishment to someone trapped in an abusive relationship, detailing how senators like John Cornyn and John Thune repeatedly undermine Trump while still receiving his endorsements. Attorney General Ken Paxton, however, flips the script with a bold move: he threatens to drop out of the Texas Senate race unless the Save America Act is passed. The bill forces states to turn over complete voter rolls to the DOJ, exposing ghost voters, minors, and illegal ballots, potentially reshaping U.S. elections for a generation. Tara dissects the implications of Paxton's move, highlighting how it exposes the uniparty within the GOP that helps Democrats cheat, and contrasts it with Trump's continued misplaced loyalty to the establishment. This episode provides a deep dive into internal party dynamics, election integrity, and the fight to protect the future of conservative governance. Key Topics Covered: Trump's ongoing loyalty to establishment GOP senators John Cornyn and John Thune's actions undermining Trump Ken Paxton's selfless stance on the Save America Act The filibuster's role in blocking election integrity legislation Ghost voters, underage votes, and voter roll manipulation The internal GOP battle against the “uniparty” Implications for Texas Senate races and national elections

He criticizes the media and political opponents for what he sees as rooting against U.S. success during the conflict with Iran, while also highlighting ongoing divisions within American politics and the press.

Law and Chaos wishes a big mazal tov to Kristi Noem on her new, very real job as assistant principal of the Yeehaw American Hegemony Club. And to Lindsey Halligan on catching a Florida Bar investigation.We'll discuss our recent post on Pam Bondi's very timely announcement that she intends to take over state bar complaints against DOJ employees. It comes at a moment when district court judges are telegraphing very clearly that they are going to start holding DHS and DOJ in criminal contempt for rampant disregard of court orders. Specifically, Judge Michael Farbiarz of the District of New Jersey says he'll require sworn affidavits from officials at the US Attorneys Office and ICE for every habeas release case that comes before him. This will likely serve as a model for other judges whose dockets are buckling under the weight of habeas cases from all the immigrants ICE is illegally detaining.Elections expert Joe Dye is back to discuss Tuesday's primary elections in Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina.And for subscribers, we'll discuss the shadow docket order in which the six conservative justices leapt in to save New York Rep.

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 takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Conflict Accelerates Tech Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discuss the geopolitical consequences of the ongoing conflict. They examine the paralysis of international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, rising global oil prices, and how extended military engagement could impact U.S. domestic politics—especially with Democrats preparing to tie gas‑price volatility to Trump’s foreign‑policy strategy ahead of the 2026 midterms. They also discuss the administration’s unprecedented stance that President Trump intends to influence the selection of Iran’s next leader following the assassination of the Ayatollah, raising questions about regime change, constitutional monarchy possibilities, and whether Iran’s military factions might accept a U.S.-favored successor. The hosts then explore historical parallels, comparing modern drone‑ and intelligence-driven warfare to conflicts such as the Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq invasion, suggesting that advances in technology have made “boots on the ground” less essential. This leads to a broader conversation about whether internal Iranian opposition could rise up without military backing and why genuine regime change is impossible unless parts of Iran’s armed forces defect. Trump's Texas Tactics Clay and Buck analyze the fallout from the Texas primary and the growing expectation that President Trump will endorse a candidate in the Texas Senate race. They emphasize how critical the Texas seat is to preserving the GOP’s narrow Senate majority and outline the broader 2026 Senate landscape—highlighting difficult Republican battles in Maine and North Carolina, as well as opportunities in Georgia. The hosts examine how a Trump endorsement, whether for John Cornyn or Ken Paxton, signals a deliberate effort to maintain Senate control ahead of potential Supreme Court vacancies. A major portion of the hour is devoted to the explosive controversy surrounding Democratic candidate James Talarico, whose far‑left ideological positions, past tweets, and public comments have become a focal point of criticism. Clay and Buck dissect his rhetoric comparing himself to biblical figures, his claims about “white skin” being a societal contagion, and his promotion of Dr. Fauci memorabilia—framing Talarico as a deeply out‑of‑touch progressive misaligned with Texas voters. They compare him to figures like Jasmine Crockett and Beto O’Rourke, arguing that Democrats continue to misjudge which candidates appeal to mainstream Texans. They also break down the Republican strategic calculus, suggesting that Trump may back Cornyn to avoid draining resources needed for more competitive races across the country. Kristi Noem is Fired President Trump has fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, marking the first removal of a cabinet secretary in this administration. Clay and Buck react in real time as Fox News reports the termination and the appointment of Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma as the new acting head of the Department of Homeland Security. They recount the scandals that contributed to Noem’s downfall—including reports of inappropriate spending, allegations about personal relationships, and a controversial $200 million DHS ad campaign featuring her—describing widespread bipartisan dissatisfaction after her congressional hearing. The hosts speculate on what the leadership change means for border security, immigration policy, and future DHS operations. Nerding Out with Ryan Political data analyst Ryan Girdusky, host of It’s a Numbers Game, to break down the dramatic firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who was removed just minutes before stepping onstage at an event in Nashville. The hosts analyze President Trump’s official announcement elevating Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma to DHS Secretary, noting that Noem’s reassignment to “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas” signals a clear demotion. The hour digs into the controversies that precipitated her removal—especially the explosive $200 million DHS ad campaign featuring Noem, allegations that she misled Congress, and her attempt to shift blame to President Trump. Girdusky adds further context about long‑simmering internal frustrations over Noem’s self‑promotion, image‑driven leadership style, and political alliances, all of which contributed to her rapid downfall. The conversation then pivots to the 2026 Senate landscape, with a heavy focus on the Texas Senate race. Girdusky breaks down why the Trump team appears intent on securing Texas early, explaining that Republicans must lock down states like Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Montana to maintain Senate control. He critiques Ken Paxton’s underwhelming primary performance and praises John Cornyn’s unexpectedly strong showing, attributing it to disciplined campaigning. The hosts revisit the Democratic nominee James Talarico, highlighting the avalanche of far‑left statements and viral clips that portray him as deeply out of step with Texas voters—comments about abolishing prisons, describing “whiteness” as a moral failing, redefining Christianity through progressive ideology, and advocating extreme abortion policies. Clay, Buck, and Girdusky conclude that Talarico is even more radical than Jasmine Crockett, predicting he will crater in a statewide general election. They emphasize that Democrats are misreading Texas by nominating a candidate shaped by progressive online culture rather than real‑world Texas sensibilities.

Republican candidates John Cornyn and Ken Paxton are headed for a runoff in Texas. Who's got Trump's endorsement? A sex offender in California and a man who shot his daughter's rapist in Arkansas: two political candidates in America, both moving forward from the primaries. Can someone check on California? I don't think they're okay. James Talarico beat Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary for Texas Senate. But is he really the better candidate? A viral clip shows a Marine protesting in a Senate hearing. Let's see what the narrative is.

Three states – North Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas – held primaries Tuesday. The turnout was massive, but so were the stakes, with the balance of power in Congress being decided this year. Texas held the spotlight with record campaign spending during the lead-up and a notable U.S. Senate primary upset by Texas Democratic State Representative James Talarico over Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. The contentious Senate race between Republican incumbent John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was so tight it triggered a runoff. NOTUS Congressional Reporter Daniella Diaz joins us to sort out what it all means.And in headlines, the Senate votes against a War Powers Resolution, the House Oversight Committee subpoenas Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files, and RFK Jr. picks a fight with Massachusetts about sweet drinks at Dunkin'.Show Notes:  Check out Daniella's reporting on the Texas primary Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

War in Iran continues — and the fellas are not holding back. Does Iran have a Navy or just expensive toys? And why do Democrats suddenly sound like they don't know what they believe? Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook jump straight into the politics of war. The fellas break down what the Iran operation signals about American power, why the isolationist panic might be missing the point, and how the left keeps getting the messaging wrong.

Then it's off to Texas — where John Cornyn shocks the field, Ken Paxton gears up for a runoff, and Jasmine Crockett flames out in spectacular fashion. What does it mean for 2026? Who's up? Who's cooked? Special Guest: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman

In this week's Texas Senate primaries, Democrat James Talarico triumphed, while GOP Senator John Cornyn and MAGA extremist Ken Paxton are headed for a runoff. Talarico, who speaks openly about his religious commitments and about the need to win over MAGA voters, might have a shot, especially against Paxton. That caused Donald Trump to explode in an agitated, panicky tirade on Truth Social, where he warned that the GOP primary could cost Republicans the seat and “MUST STOP NOW!” He vowed to endorse soon and insisted that the other candidate will have to “DROP OUT OF THE RACE!” This comes as other Republicans are publicly airing their fears of a Talarico-Paxton matchup. We talked to Democratic operative Sawyer Hackett, a veteran of Texas races. He explains Talarico's unique appeal, why Texas is so hard for Democrats, what has to happen for them to win, and why they could fall short of this dream yet again.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?
