Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The Big 12 athletic conference has filed a lawsuit against Texas Tech and the State of Texas: “The lawsuit is not seeking financial damages, nor is it seeking to overturn the judge's decision approving Sorsby's eligibility to play this season. Instead, the lawsuit asks that a court allow the league to sanction Texas Tech for putting Sorsby in the lineup, without the league, in turn, being sanctioned by the Texas Attorney General's office,” Breitbart reported.  More: Big 12 doesn't back off Sorsby ruling despite Pax­ton threat.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.Gary Boren joins us to talk about why he is running in a special election to return to the Lubbock City Council – early voting begins today.Getting past social medial posts, podcast interviews, and similar Little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico simply cannot deny his record at work and in the Texas House as a radical Leftist.

Daniel Alegre — CEO of TelevisaUnivision, the largest Spanish-language media company in the world — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a genuinely revealing conversation about the single most misunderstood bloc in American politics: the Hispanic vote. Alegre's central argument is one both parties keep failing to internalize — the Hispanic vote is now an issues vote, not a reliably Democratic one, and Latino voters have become measurably more engaged precisely as they've started shopping their vote across abortion, democracy, the border, the economy, and immigration enforcement. He's blunt about 2024: the Trump campaign communicated with Hispanic voters far more effectively than Democrats did, while Democrats took the community for granted. Alegre offers a striking data point from Texas — James Talarico outspent Jasmine Crockett 8-to-1 on Hispanic outreach and won that demographic by roughly the same margin — and notes that Ted Cruz never actually won the Hispanic vote until he put in serious, sustained effort to reach them. The tactical lessons are sharp and counterintuitive: campaigns have to communicate with Hispanics differently than the general population, white politicians attempting to speak Spanish get a mixed reception at best, and sending a Spanish-speaking surrogate in your place is actually worse than not showing up at all. The conversation digs into the rich complexity beneath the catch-all term "Hispanic." Alegre explains that political leanings differ dramatically by country of origin (the network's biggest constituencies are Mexican, Cuban, and Venezuelan), that there are significant differences between first- and second-generation Latinos and the third and fourth generation, and that in more heavily Hispanic cities many families are actively maintaining their heritage rather than assimilating — even using AI now to translate content for the genuinely different variations of Spanish across Latin American communities. He shares polling that should reshape how candidates pitch themselves: two-thirds of Hispanics say they're barely getting by, 80% are lending money to family or community, and yet over 90% still want to live the American dream — which is exactly why optimistic messaging resonates with Latinos while doom-and-gloom falls flat. Alegre addresses the perennial accusations of bias against his network (he argues it moved not to the right but to the center after the Jorge Ramos era, with a goal of providing information and letting the audience decide), reflects on Mexico electing a Jewish woman in Claudia Sheinbaum, and explains the network's massive sports footprint — it broadcasts 70% of soccer games in the U.S. and holds major World Cup rights. His closing message is one neither party can afford to ignore heading into the midterms: Hispanics are the swing vote in America now, and any campaign that treats them as a monolith — or worse, as a constituency it already owns — is going to lose them.

Chuck Todd opens on the surreal split-screen of a president desperate to manufacture a legacy: in the same stretch of days, Trump announced a "deal" with Iran, and hosted a UFC fight on the White House lawn. He argues the Iran deal is barely a deal at all — it's an agreement to begin a new negotiation, the diplomatic equivalent of trying to salvage a tie from a war that was always an own goal. The stated goal was to dismantle Iran's nuclear program; instead Iran never capitulated, will see roughly $24 billion in assets unfrozen along with oil export relief, and is essentially being paid off by the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz it closed in the first place. Chuck’s verdict is blunt: Iran didn't win the war outright, but it absolutely humiliated the United States, the deal looks far closer to an Iranian victory than an American one, it pointedly excludes Iran's proxies and effectively bails out Hezbollah, and it may actually increase Iran's incentive to pursue a nuclear weapon down the line — assuming the whole fragile arrangement doesn't simply fall apart by Friday. The biggest loser of the entire episode, Chuck argues, is Bibi Netanyahu, who alienated a generation of Democrats and thought he could manipulate Trump only to get burned, much as Trump assumed Iran would fold as easily as he believed Venezuela would. He gives Trump exactly one piece of credit — at least he knew when to fold, because the outcome could have been far worse — before pivoting to the deeper, sadder story underneath all of it: a president obsessed with celebrating himself and desperate for lasting recognition, who wants to define popular culture, slap his name on the federal government the way he does his golf courses, and who threw himself a grotesque UFC-fight birthday party on the White House lawn that's terrible politics. Then, Daniel Alegre — CEO of TelevisaUnivision, the largest Spanish-language media company in the world — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a genuinely revealing conversation about the single most misunderstood bloc in American politics: the Hispanic vote. Alegre's central argument is one both parties keep failing to internalize — the Hispanic vote is now an issues vote, not a reliably Democratic one, and Latino voters have become measurably more engaged precisely as they've started shopping their vote across abortion, democracy, the border, the economy, and immigration enforcement.

Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit June 17th, 1994… when OJ Simpson was chased by police in his white Ford Broncos. He argues that news executives learned that sensationalized news coverage could create a large, reliable viewership… and this would change the news business forever.

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 Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal on transgender surgeries for minors, a congressional report showing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly failed or refused to stop rampant fraud, Social Security running dry by 2032, and the Congressional Baseball Game.First, Jim and Greg examine the hypocrisy of James Talarico, who now suddenly opposes gender reassignment surgery for minors. In 2023, he argued against a bill that would ban “medical and surgical procedures” for minors with gender dysphoria. They also address recent reports that Talarico dated two of his staffers.Next, they review a House Oversight Committee report that alleges Gov. Walz and his administration ignored repeated warnings from whistleblowers about massive fraud and, in some cases, retaliated against those who raised concerns. Next, they cover the looming threat of the Social Security trust fund running dry by 2032. Despite a national debt of $39 trillion, cuts to entitlements remain deeply unpopular with voters, preventing any political solution. But soon politicians will not have a choice.Finally, they highlight Wednesday's Congressional Baseball Game, and how the media rarely mention the 2017 shooting at a GOP practice that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise. Please visit our great sponsors:IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3ML Noble GoldDownload the free investor kit.

Bradley Jaye joins us to talk about the latest primary elections, Democrats electing a Nazi and hearings on the hill! Follow Bradley on X: @bradleyajaye

The MAGA movement has fully embraced masculinism, which The Atlantic's staff writer Helen Lewis defines in her cover story this month as “a movement to fight back against the advances of feminism and reassert the primacy of men.” Democrats have a more complicated relationship with it. After the last presidential election, when Donald Trump made inroads with young men, even those of color, some Democrats began wondering whether their party did indeed have a man problem. This campaign season, one Democrat who seems to have answered that call is Graham Platner, who won the primary in Maine this week and may be key to the party's chances of winning the Senate. But several women described “toxic” relationships with Platner, including one who said he “could be rough with her.” Platner's campaign disputed any claims of physical intimidation or altercations. In Texas's U.S. Senate race, manliness has become even more explicit. Republican attacks on the Democratic nominee James Talarico rely on all manner of terms that effectively mean “unmanly”: low-T, transgender, secretly a woman, gay, man-child, and—God forbid—vegan. Democrats responded to these attacks with a photo of Talarico eating a turkey leg. This week, Lewis discusses how masculinism is playing out in American politics.  - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

James Talarico is getting an unexpected boost from shifting political winds in South Texas and Houston as he seeks to become the first Democrat to win statewide in Texas in over 30 years. National Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha and Houston Chronicle reporter John Lomax join Texas Take host Jeremy Wallace to explain it all. But Talarico faces hurdles too, specifically a looming $100 million problem. Reporter Benjamin Wermund joins the program to explain how Gov. Greg Abbott's huge campaign war chest could become a valuable resource for Republican Ken Paxton as he looks to fend off Talarico in the U.S. Senate race. And red alert, we are just 5 months away until Election Day and 3 months from the first absentee ballots going out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A ceasefire broken. The U.S.launched “self-defense strikes” on Iranian air defense and radar sites last evening after a U.S. Apache helicopter was downed Monday near the Strait of Hormuz. The two pilots were rescued. This came after President Trump said the U.S. response “should be very strong, very powerful,” and earlier said talks with Iran were in their “final throes,” possibly concluding in “two or three days” though the status of those negotiations is now unclear.  Sources say U.S. targets included Iranian air defenses and radar installations as part of the retaliation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran will not leave any attack "unanswered."Mo Kelly speaks with political analyst John Rothmann about what this escalation means for any potential deal to end Trump's Iran War. Mark welcomes the authors of ‘Notes of Deception.'

Sean speaks to Talarico's public statements about Christianity, “Christian nationalism,” gender (including a clip where Talarico claims God is non-binary), and abortion (including his argument about Mary's consent). Sean argues these are distortions of scripture and warns believers about deception and a “different gospel,” while emphasizing love for people, compassion for women facing unwanted pregnancies, and participation in elections without bitterness. 00:00 Welcome and Camp Plans01:10 Spurs Game and City Culture03:57 Election Matchup Preview04:51 Talarico Claims and Straw Men09:44 Trans Ideology and Kids11:20 God Is Nonbinary Clip15:07 Abortion Consent Argument19:43 Pastors Politics and False Teachers22:19 How Believers Should Respond23:08 God Is Series and Closing

This week, Scott was joined by Rev. Dr. Jim Rigby, who has served as the pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin for 40 years. Rev. Rigby has garnered attention over the decades for his commitment to justice and a progressive brand of Christianity, and he has been in the news recently as Senate candidate James Talarico's pastor.  Rigby is getting more attention than a typical candidate's pastor, probably because Rep. Talarico is a seminarian who is putting his faith at the forefront of his candidacy. To be clear, Texas Impact does not endorse candidates for public office. This episode of Weekly Witness is not about a candidate for office. Instead, like every episode of Weekly Witness, it's about a particular Texas faith leader and how they are doing ministry in their particular context. Currently, Jim Rigby's context includes having a parishioner with more than the usual amount of name recognition. So, this episode brings you a conversation about what it is like to do ministry from that perspective.  We hope you enjoy this episode and invite a friend to listen along.

Today on the Jimmy Barrett Show:Platner and TalaricoSouthern Poverty Law Center

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal on transgender surgeries for minors, growing U.S.-Israel tensions amid negotiations with Iran, the baffling logic of some of Graham Platner's defenders, and tonight's South Carolina governor's race.First, Jim and Greg examine the hypocrisy of James Talarico, who now suddenly opposes gender reassignment surgery for minors. In 2023, he argued against a bill that would ban “medical and surgical procedures” for minors with gender dysphoria. They also address recent reports that Talarico dated two of his staffers.Next, they review rising tensions between the President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump confirmed frustration over Israel's strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump's concern is that Israel's retaliation could derail negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. Then, Jim and Greg break down the puzzling logic of a Graham Platner supporter who claims she would no longer vote for him if he had a tattoo of the Israeli flag. But apparently she is OK with Platner's Nazi-linked tattoo.Finally, they offer their take on the governor's race in South Carolina and criticize Republican candidate Nancy Mace's policy priorities.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin with code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLIncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3ML Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday.

On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott Jennings focused on a pivotal Primary Day across the country, breaking down key races in Maine, South Carolina, North Dakota, Nevada, and California while examining what the results could mean for the political landscape heading into 2026. Then, Scott was joined by House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer discussing government fraud investigations and accountability efforts in Washington, while Craig Fuller explored the growing economic and infrastructure challenges posed by America’s rapidly expanding AI data center industry. Later, KC Crosbie joined the show to discuss election integrity and concerns surrounding noncitizen voter registration, while legal analyst Danny Cevallos provided insight into the Karmelo Anthony trial and its broader implications.

Texas Democrat James Talarico's list of biblical absurdities continues to grow. Added to his claims that God is “non-binary,” that “the Bible is silent about abortion,” and that there are “six different genders,” we now have his contention that Mary's consent to the virgin birth is a story about her being “prochoice.” So how should we respond?

It’s considered by many to be the marquee race of the midterms: Paxton versus Talarico. But if you think that’s all there is to it, think again.Shades of Ross Perot? Why a third-party candidate could upset the calculus in this year's big Senate race in Texas.And they’re back: For the first time in 60 years, […] The post First case of New World screwworm found in Texas since 1960s appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

When the theological scrutiny is ferocious for the Democrat and nonexistent for the Republican, you're not watching theology. You're watching idolatry. Two minutes. Real impact. Leave a review:   lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion Ken Paxton won the Republican primary for the Texas U.S. Senate seat. He was impeached 121-23 by a Republican-controlled House, divorced on biblical grounds, and caught on video pocketing a thousand-dollar pen. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee, attends Princeton Seminary and talks openly about his faith. Prominent evangelical voices have published multiple pieces questioning Talarico's Christian credibility. You won't find comparable scrutiny of Paxton. This episode is about what that asymmetry actually reveals, and why refusing to traffic in fear and anger is the harder road. Calls to Action ✅ If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who might need a reminder that disagreement doesn't have to mean dehumanization. ✅ Check out our Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com ✅ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen:  lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion ✅ Subscribe to Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other on your favorite podcast platform. ✅ Watch the full conversation and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion Key Takeaways The scrutiny follows the letter, not the life. The asymmetry between evangelical treatment of Talarico and Paxton isn't theological. It's tribal. Love is obedience, not an optional add-on. Kindness and humility aren't the soft edges of the faith. They're the point. The Pew data draws the line clearly. Most Americans are open to religion's influence in their lives. Nearly eight in ten say churches shouldn't endorse candidates. People know the difference between faith and partisanship.

Allie examines the Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico and tackles the tough question: How should Christians vote when both candidates have serious flaws? She breaks down Paxton's moral failings and past scandals alongside Talarico's radically progressive positions—including his claims that “God is non-binary,” strong support for abortion, gender transitions for minors, prison abolition, and open-border policies—while evaluating their records on life, family, borders, and justice through a biblical lens. Additionally, Allie interviews her brother, Justin Simmons, who is the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Justin details his mission to crack down on drug smuggling, human trafficking and fraud, while urging others to improve their communities rather than choosing a life of self-gratification. Gov.

Let's talk about how Talarico has Trump and Senate republicans worried….

The church attended by Texas Democratic Senate Candidate James Talarico comes under scrutiny for the various progressive and controversial causes it stands behind. Google parent company Alphabet seeks federal approval to release up to 32 million mosquitoes in Florida and California as part of its “Debug” program. President Trump says “he couldn't care less” if negotiations with Iran fall flat, as talks come to a screeching halt and questions remain about a call between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Mr. Trump. The remains of a missing scientist linked to Los Alamos National Laboratory are found in New Mexico.   SimpliSafe: Visit https://simplisafe.com/MEGYNto claim 50% off any new system!   Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 and get your free info kit on gold Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

June is usually just another month of the year, but the rainbow mafia once again is forcing gayness down our throats. From Wonder Woman becoming trans to gays conquering “Sesame Street,” I break down the madness as corporations, politicians, and pop-culture icons race to out-gay each other. Who's funding anti-ICE activists, and why have deportations slowed down? And what happens if America fails to enforce its immigration laws? Retired Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino joins me to discuss the border, national security, and the political battle shaping 2028. Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) is getting exposed for preying on yet another staffer, but much of the media seems more interested in running cover than getting answers.

Is the Democratic Party changing course or doubling down? We take a look at Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, what his campaign says about the direction of Democrats in 2026, and why the race against Ken Paxton is drawing national attention. We also examine the political battle in Los Angeles, the challenges facing Mayor Karen Bass, and what voter frustration in California could mean for the future of both parties.

It's News Day Tuesday On the program today: Today is primary day for six states across the country. If you live in California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, or South Dakota make sure you get out and vote today. Self-proclaimed Democratic strategist, Yemisi Egbewole, uses her panel time on CNN to smear Graham Platner and James Talarico.

I spotlight how the Democrats are attempting to run distraction plays in the Texas Senate race, as James Talarico is busy explaining controversial past remarks, defending old posts, and navigating questions about his relationship with a former employee. With America's 250th anniversary around the corner, liberals like Margaret Brennan and Ali Velshi are having a meltdown. I highlight the latest examples of anti-American rhetoric, canceled performances, and attacks on patriotic celebrations. The Karmelo Anthony trial is now under way, and Greg Foreman of “Black Conservative Perspective” joins me to discuss why the case has become a flashpoint for debates over race, media narratives, and whether the facts are being overshadowed by politics. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► PreBorn To donate, visit http://www.Preborn.com/SARA.

Folks are saying that Texas senate candidate James Talarico has the best chance in decades to flip a Texas senate seat blue; his opponent, Ken Paxton, was impeached by his own party in 2023 and is mired in scandals. Our hosts are less optimistic about James’ chances and have some advice for Mr. Talarico… Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this segment from episode #133 that aired on 05-28-26 If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ Welcome home y’all! —---------See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1. Election Results & Significance Ken Paxton wins decisively with roughly 64% vs 36% (a ~28-point margin). This is described as: A major upset for an incumbent A “sea change” in Republican politics Cornyn had: 24 years in the Senate Significant institutional power and funding Despite heavy financial backing (over $100M+ spent, mostly for Cornyn), Paxton wins overwhelmingly. 2. Why Paxton Won Several factors are highlighted: ✅ Anti-establishment sentiment The race was a: “Conservative grassroots vs establishment Republican” Voters favored a more ideological, outsider-style candidate. ✅ Trump’s influence Donald Trump endorsed Paxton (late in the race). The hosts argue: The endorsement boosted Paxton’s margin But Paxton was already leading in polls ✅ Perception of ideological purity Paxton is: “The most conservative attorney general in the country” This appealed to Republican primary voters. 3. The Role of Money The race becomes: One of the most expensive Senate primaries ever Despite: Massive spending (mostly pro-Cornyn) Outcome shows:

The Texas Senate GOP runoff turned into a beatdown, as Ken Paxton routed John Cornyn all across the state. Now, attention returns to the real foe: Fake Christian James Talarico, who loves "trans kids" and wants to protect the world from the taint of white skin. Rep. Brandon Gill reacts. Alex Marlow talks about the growing momentum behind Spencer Pratt, and The Redheaded Libertarian (small L!) talks about what must happen for the MAGA coalition to keep fans of Thomas Massie around.
