James Talarico's campaign rhetoric raises serious questions about Christianity, gender policy, and the future of the Democratic Party in Texas. In Episode 943 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Smith and Rowland examine Talarico's use of the term "Christo fascism" to describe opposition to gender-transition procedures for minors. They discuss whether his interpretation of Christianity replaces biblical teaching with a political message, and why voters should examine the ideas behind a candidate's public identity. The conversation also addresses: * The Democratic Socialists of America and the growing influence of socialist politics within the Democratic Party * The Senate race in Texas and Democratic efforts to change the state's political direction * Medical, ethical, and parental concerns surrounding puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-transition surgeries for minors * The difference between Christian compassion for sinners and approval of sinful behavior * The dangers of redefining biblical words and institutions to support political causes * The importance of protecting children from irreversible decisions * Political loyalty, common sense, and the need for a healthy two-party system * The weakening of biblical preaching and the loss of conviction in many churches Smith and Rowland also discuss how propaganda can make extreme ideas appear normal when people hear them often enough. Their central concern is clear: Christians and voters must test political claims against truth, Scripture, evidence, and common sense. The episode opens with a humorous Ridge Runner Blades sponsor segment before turning to a serious discussion about James Talarico, Christianity, communism, Texas politics, and the spiritual condition of the church.

We're continuing to dig through the mountain of content we accumulated during the Texas Democratic Convention in Corpus Christi, and up next are the full remarks from Friday from Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico.Rep. Talarico, as you know, has inspired a full panic attack on the American right, whose only counter to his solid, steady, and strong messages of leadership and change have been juvenile name-calling and accusations of (gasp!) vegetarianism. Team Talarico has tripled the fundraising haul of opponent Ken Paxton over the second quarter of the year, and are full steam ahead for November, in the midst of the most exciting midterm election for Texas progressives in recent memory.Learn more about James Talarico and his run for the Senate at https://jamestalarico.com/.Thanks for listening!

Latest on Charlie Kirk killing, Iranian drones in Cuba, spurs tv announcer fired, Israel informs Trump of another Iranian plot to kill him, and Talarico laser focused on trans kids.
Democrats are going after Ken Paxton for spending July 4th in England, and you need to see what James Talarico actually posted before the media spins it. In the Texas Senate race, Talarico called out Paxton for being in London during the 250th anniversary of American independence. He posted a video of Paxton there and claimed it was the last place any patriotic Texan should be that weekend. Talarico stayed in Texas and posed with Willie Nelson instead. While regular Americans were focused on family, barbecues, and making ends meet, political elites turned a personal trip into campaign ammo. The irony of attacking someone for being in the U.K. right after celebrating independence from Britain hasn't gone unnoticed. Pat also covered: Graham Platner drops out of the Maine race. Why Trump changed planes on his way to Turkey. James Talarico partners up to reach trans show attendees. Sara Gonzales joins to break down Texas politics. Smithsonian's American History Museum claims Mickey Mouse represents “blackface.” Do you think a politician's personal vacation should be fair game during campaign season?

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The Hearst owned and operated Houston Chronicle has published an editorial that invites, before there is any evidence to evaluate, riots and unrest of the type we've seen in Leftwing cities across the nation over the past many years. The editorial is irresponsible from the headline down. Additionally, it continues the odd narrative that illegal aliens are somehow exempt from following our laws and simple common sense (unless of course the editors, before seeing any evidence, believe it impossible that the man who was shot did anything wrong.)Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.From the campaign stack: Jasmine Crockett on Talarico Win in Primary: It Was a Racist Race' James Talarico outraise Ken Paxton by 3-1 margin in US Senate race Ted Cruz warns Talarico has “real chance” to beat Paxton – of course he does and I talk much about what worries me about today's Texas GOP leadership.

This week on the Texas Take, host Jeremy Wallace is joined by Austin American-Statesman's John Moritz to break down the Texas Democratic convention in Corpus Christi and James Talarico's big test as a potential new face of the party. The episode also features an exclusive interview with U.S. Sen. Cory Booker on Democratic tensions over Israel and Gaza, and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro on ICE detentions across Texas. Finally, Wallace and Moritz dig into the fallout from ICE detaining a nun in McAllen and what it could mean for U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz's South Texas reelection fight. And there's no way to do a show partly from Corpus Christi without some Selena and Robert Earl Keen tunes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A midterm election Republican National Convention, really a rally, is coming to the American Airlines Center in Dallas on 9 and 10 September. A “Trumpapalooza” it is being called.And related to the midterm elections, the U.S. Supreme Court has corrected its very bad older ruling on candidate and political party coordination: Justices strike down campaign finance law.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.It's sort of a mega-flip-flop: Gov. Greg Abbott calls for ban on data center development in rural Texas neighborhoods. Beware the wording as most of what he says “they've gotta do” is stuff “they” are already doing. Plus, what is a “rural neighborhood” anyway?From the Little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico stack: Nolte: James ‘God Is Non-binary' Talarico Loses Lead in Senate Race – all the media is on the “he's tied” or only a point or so down. Nolte is right, the big trend, is that Talarico has gone way down in polling.

Greetings, Lowdowners — Deanna here!Friday we told you what was coming: Hightower on the main stage at the Texas Democratic Party Convention, introducing Clayton Tucker, the Lampasas rancher carrying the populist torch into this year's fight for Texas Agriculture Commissioner.Well, it happened. And it's everything we hoped it would be!Listen to that crowd roar as Hightower names the “six Bs” — bosses, bankers, billionaires, big shots, b******s, and bullshitters. That clip has been tearing up social media all weekend! Here's the full five-minute speech: the introduction, the history, and Jim handing the mic to Clayton with the kind of send-off that doesn't happen unless you've been in the fight together for a long, long time.This is the kind of thing you get every week as a Lowdown subscriber: not just the clip everyone's sharing, but the full context behind it. Consider upgrading today if you can!PS—I think my personal favorite moment is watching the ASL interpreter figure out how to translate “greedheads and boneheads.” Chef's kiss!TranscriptAnnouncer: Let's welcome our former Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Jim Hightower.Hidey ho! As one former Texas Agriculture Commissioner, who came out of a progressive campaign with Ann Richards and Jim Mattox and Garry Mauro, a unity ticket. Now to the next era of victories by progressive forces, led by Clayton Tucker, James Talarico, Gina Hinojosa, right on down the line, a lineup of winners.It just makes me happier than a flea at a dog show to be standing up here, looking out at all you Democratic Party champions of economic fairness, you corporate greedwhackers, you Republican butt-kickers, as we rally to take Texas back from the GOP, from the GOP autocrats and plutocrats, so our team of grassroots Democrats can move Texas forward. We don't want to go back. We want to go forward and forward with all the people of our state, not just the rich elites. And this November fight is a landmark populist battle, putting pitting the greedheads and boneheads who are the powers that be against the powers that ought to be, the ordinary work of day people of our state, the workers, the farmers, the teachers, the consumers. The everyday Texans who do the everyday work that makes Texas work. Now you might say, well, Hightower, what do you by the powers that be? Well here's what I mean. I call ‘em the six Bs. They are the bosses, the bankers, the billionaires, the big shots, b******s and bullshitters.They've been running roughshod over us. They're thinking they're the top dog and we're just a bunch of fire hydrants out here in the countryside. That's why Clayton Tucker is so important. So important to this election, so important to the Democratic ticket, so important to Texas, a true son of Texas populism, a rancher raising goats out in Lampasas County. The very place where populism began, by the way, it was born in Lampasas County in the 1870s. He's a rancher, been a kindergarten teacher. That'll help him when he deals with the legislature.He's a grassroots organizer, battling the data center billionaires. He even puts it right on his campaign button here. “Stop AI data centers.” Clayton Tucker. He battles the monopolists and the extremists. I'm gonna tell you that Clayton Tucker is gonna drive the Republican leaders crazy. Of course, that's a pretty short drive for some of them.Most important, as Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Clayton will make us proud again, as so few office holders these days do. He comes out of West Texas. West Texas ranchers and the old cowboys out in West Texas used to have a saying. They said, “speak the truth, but ride a fast horse.”Clayton is going to speak the truth to the powers that be. And they're going to call him, just as they're calling Talarico and Gina Hinojosa and our whole Democratic lineup, they're going to call them agitators. Agitators. What the hell is wrong with being an agitator? Agitation is what built America.So I'm here to ask you to join me in welcoming the People's Agitator, Clayton Tucker, from Lampasas, Texas.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico's ridiculous comments on whiteness and masculinity, Tucker Carlson leaving the Republican Party, major wins for socialists in New York City congressional races, and a media narrative lamenting the impact of lower crime rates on local businesses.First, they react to Talarico's absurd statements in his latest podcast appearance. His streak of insane woke rhetoric continues as he says that his imagination is limited by his "whiteness and masculinity.” Jim and Greg wonder when the left's obsession with identity will end.Next, Jim and Greg react to Tucker Carlson's exit from the Republican Party. Despite speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention, Carlson now says he regrets his support for Trump and he denounces the GOP for its "betrayal of the American people.” Jim comments on the erratic state of politics today and both wonder what Tucker's next move might be. Then, they wince as avowed Marxists win the Democratic nomination in three New York City congressional districts. They were all endorsed by socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Is this additional proof that open socialists are taking over the Democratic Party or will their radicalism actually help Republicans in November?Finally, they laugh at the media's attempt to frame falling crime rates as a negative development. Oakland, California has seen a significant reduction in car break-ins, but some reporting has focused on the impact that fewer repairs could have on auto glass businesses. Jim and Greg discuss how the coverage unintentionally falls for one of economics' most basic fallacies.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the anti-American sentiments of a socialist New York Democratic primary winner and whether she should be allowed to serve in Congress, James Talarico's illogical comments on Christianity, Gavin Newsom's strategy for the 2028 Democratic presidential race, and the latest controversy involving Diana Russini, former reporter for The Athletic.First, Jim and Greg blast Mamdani-backed socialist New York congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier, who supported the “total eradication of Western civilization” as a member of an anti-Israel group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD). They also criticize Democrats for failing to condemn radicals on the left and question whether someone with views like Chevalier's should even be able to serve in Congress.Next, they groan over Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico's absurd comments on Christianity and his politicization of the religion. Talarico said he “always” thinks of himself “as a Christian who hates Christianity.” Jim and Greg also bring up previous statements of Talarico's ridiculous beliefs on prison reform.Then, Jim and Greg break down California Gov. Gavin Newsom's plan to position himself as the frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee. Newson seems to be targeting Biden's coalition, while avoiding the party's socialist faction.Finally, they react to the recently revealed $800,000 salary of former sports reporter Dianna Russini, who allegedly had a relationship with the head coach of the New England Patriots. Jim and Greg also scrutinize reporters' boundaries with sources.Please visit our great sponsors:Noble GoldOwn the metal the future depends on.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico presents himself as a moderate, faith-based Christian pastor who rejects Christian nationalism. Talarico is actually a radical progressive activist who weaponizes Christianity for left-wing politics. Talarico's radical positions - God is non-binary, there are more than two biological sexes, the Bible affirms abortion access, and poverty/pollution/prison equal violence. This man is not fit for the Senate. Later, President Trump selected Kash Patel to combat waste, fraud, and abuse, is proving to be an excellent choice as evidenced by a record-setting $6.5 billion healthcare fraud crackdown charging around 450 defendants, primarily in Medicaid and hospice schemes. Officials emphasized unprecedented state-federal cooperation across 45 states and attorneys general, building complete case files for swift law enforcement action—the first such unified effort in modern history. Afterward ,a Biden-appointed federal judge issued a 75-page opinion shutting down the Trump administration's modified SAVE system database, created via executive order to verify citizenship or immigration status of registered voters through DHS and SSA records. This activist decision promotes lawlessness and voter fraud by blocking checks on non-citizens, dead people, and illegal immigrants, especially ahead of midterms. The same judge also blocked an FTC antitrust probe into Media Matters and barred deportation of unaccompanied migrant minors for family reunification abroad. Meanwhile, Senator Mike Lee advances the SAVE America Act, requiring government-issued ID to vote—supported by over 80% of Americans across parties to make voting easy but cheating hard—though four anti-Trump Republicans hinder it in the Senate, where Trump is pushing for passage.

Obama never thought Trump could win in 2016, perhaps because he underestimated how much the opposition loathed him. At the opening of his new presidential center on Thursday, he spoke of presidents acting with duty, honor, and kindness—even though the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is all about destroying things, being mean, hurting people, and starting dumb wars. Indeed, Trump's foreign policy may be more in the American tradition than Obama's. Plus, a debate over whether Kamala's response to Gaza cost her the White House along with her standing in the party. Also, some Knicks love and another installment in the perils and pitfalls of wokeness—this time with some Talarico comments from 2020.Ta-Nehisi Coates joins Tim Miller for the Juneteenth holiday weekend pod.show notes Ta-Nehisi's latest piece in Vanity Fair Tim's playlist
Donald Trump gave away the store in the second worst treaty signed at Versailles. The bounty POTUS delivered has already started to flow with the lifting of oil sanctions on Iran. The unfreezing of restricted assets—and a $300 billion reconstruction and investment fund—is just around the corner. Trump is even defending Iran's right to have ballistic missiles. He likes to talk tough, but he is a wuss, and the Dems can't let up on calling him out for his cowardice and his stupid war. Plus, gaming which group of Trump supporters got cucked the most, Republicans on the Hill are already rushing to protect Trump on the deal, and a Texas temperature check on Talarico v Paxton.Adam Kinzinger joins Tim Miller.show notes Text of the agreement between the U.S. and Iran Kinzinger's Substack "The Kinzinger Report" podcast Tim's and JVL's reading of Vance's new book
