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.

What “governance” is he talking about? Clearly he doesn't understand that most everything, all from his side of the aisle, from trying to sex change children to banning gas stoves, are day-to-day issues that none of us should have had to have been facing over the last decade.

In a program devoted to the topic of AI, Ralph welcomes first, Tyson Slocum, director of the energy group at Public Citizen, who tells us about the local backlash against the construction of data centers. Then New York Times climate writer, David Wallace-Wells, explains how the Big Tech CEOs did not count on human beings possibly rising up against them and their machines.Tyson Slocum is director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, covering the regulation of petroleum, natural gas and power markets. He serves on the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's “Energy & Environmental Markets Advisory Committee,” and frequently intervenes before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) representing the interests of household consumers.The basic question is they (Big Tech companies) are developing essentially governmental powers— governmental powers— not market powers or corporate powers. They've reached a level now where they are our government, the corporate government. And we have to escalate our urgencies to that level. It's more than just the hour is late. The hour is over. So we have to go back and respond with a completely unprecedented level of public interest, standards, etc., including whether this technology (AI) should be allowed at all.Ralph NaderI definitely see that we are in a speculative bubble. That bubble will burst. And folks within the AI industry, like Sam Altman, have been very clear where they have publicly said, when the bubble breaks, we expect to get a financial bailout because our AI applications are so important to the national interest.Tyson SlocumAnd the backlash to data centers isn't just about, oh, I'm concerned about my power rates going up or I'm concerned about the noise or the water usage. It's also a civil rights and human rights issue where people are saying, I don't like this vision that Big Tech is laying out for us that is going to be produced in this building down the street from our community.Tyson SlocumDavid Wallace-Wells is a columnist and staff writer at the New York Times, where he writes a weekly newsletter on climate change, technology, and the future of the planet. He is the author of the book, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. His recent feature in the New York Times Magazine is “AI Populism is Here. And No One is Ready.”Just over the last six months, there's been a huge surge in anti-AI and in particular anti-data center organizing and activism in the U.S. And you can see that on the ground where you see huge crowds coming to town halls to protest new data centers that are being proposed. You see some towns that have approved those data centers literally having their entire city council voted out of office as a result. And you see it in these surveys where within the span of just a few months. Huge sentiment flips among the American public from being basically agnostic about AI with some misgivings and some optimism to pretty striking majority opposition to the technology and the infrastructure build out that it requires.David Wallace-WellsThis (AI) is a technological revolution that has been designed and is being built by an extremely small number of people with very particular idiosyncratic, in certain ways, I think, somewhat sociopathic worldviews.David Wallace-WellsNews 6/5/26* Our top story this week comes from Congress, where the House has, at long last, successfully pushed through a War Powers Resolution on Iran. As NPR notes “The resolution had originally been set for a vote two weeks ago, but Republican leaders sent House members home early for a May recess when it appeared the largely Democratic-backed measure had enough Republican votes for passage.” However, this did not substantially erode Republican support and the resolution passed by a margin of 215 to 208, with four Republicans, led by Thomas Massie, voting for a cessation of hostilities. The measure now heads to the Senate, where Democrats have been pressing the matter as well but face an uphill battle, and even if it passes through the upper chamber, President Trump is likely to veto the measure if it arrives on his desk. Moreover, House progressives are now pushing a new War Powers Resolution, this one focusing on Lebanon. POLITICO reports Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib forced a vote this Thursday on a resolution calling for the removal of U.S. troops from Lebanon in seven days, despite opposition from the leadership of her own party. The resolution failed by a wide margin, but still garnered a respectable 92 votes, including support from Congressman Massie. Symbolic though they may be, these votes show a growing backlash to Trump's military adventurism abroad, particularly in the Middle East. With oil prices continuing to rise, this discontent shows no sign of abating.* The main news this week however were the primaires. Tuesday saw a wave of major Democratic primaries across the country. Faiz Shakir, longtime advisor to Bernie Sanders and Executive Director of More Perfect Union, reports that election night was a “clean sweep for Bernie's endorsements” with five out of five of these candidates set to win the Democratic nomination in their respective races. One race Shakir highlighted was Sam Forstag's bid for Congress in Montana's 1st congressional district. Forstag, a firefighter – technically a “smokejumper,” who parachutes into remote areas to extinguish wildfires – earned the endorsements of AOC, Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal and others, as well as many unions, in addition to that of Senator Sanders. Meanwhile in the Montana Senate race, Alani Bankhead has triumphed in the Democratic primary. According to Semafor, “Republicans suspect Bankhead will essentially cede the race to [independent candidate Seth] Bodnar (despite her denials), which would make the general election more competitive.” Bodnar is the former president of the University of Montana and his campaign is backed by former Democratic Senator Jon Tester. One recent poll of a head-to-head match up of Bodnar against Republican nominee Kurt Alme shows the candidates in a dead heat.* In New Jersey, two more Sanders-endorsed candidates have emerged victorious: Analilia Mejia and Dr. Adam Hamawy. Mejia won the special election to replace now-Governor Mikie Sherill in April, beating out former Congressman Tom Malinowksi, the heavy favorite in that race. Mejia is very likely to win this seat again in November, as she already defeated the Republican nominee, Joe Hathaway, in the special election. This from MorristownGreen. Perhaps more surprisingly is the victory of Dr. Adam Hamawy. Now a plastic surgeon, he has distinguished himself for his heroism: saving the life of now-Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth when her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down in Iraq, serving as a first responder to the 9/11 attacks, and most recently, for his work in Gaza. As the Intercept puts it, “In 2024, [Hamawy]...went to Gaza to provide medical aid to Palestinians wounded by Israeli forces and was temporarily trapped there after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing. When the crossing was reopened, Hamawy was among a small group who refused to leave on demands that more medical workers be let in.” Hamawy's progressive policy platform includes support for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and opposing military aid to Israel. He is almost guaranteed to win this D+13 seat, succeeding Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman.* The candidates Bernie endorsed in California also prevailed, with Randy Villegas poised to win his primary in the state's 22nd congressional district and Jane Kim winning her race for California Insurance Commissioner, but the results from the state overall are more mixed. As of now, Republican Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton leads in the count, with centrist Democrat and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra in a close second and progressive billionaire Tom Steyer in third. However, as the count continues, Steyer's margin continues to improve while Hilton's ebbs away – meaning the runoff could end up being Becerra vs. Steyer, though it is still too early to say. A similar dynamic is unfolding in Los Angeles, where incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is ensured a slot in the general election while her opponents – Councilwoman Nithya Raman to her left and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt to her right – continue to duke it out for the second slot. With California's notoriously glacial counting pace and the LA Times reporting that millions of ballots remain to be counted, all we can do is watch and wait.* However, up in Minnesota, another Bernie-backed candidate is on the road to victory. On Tuesday, Peggy Flanagan, the Lieutenant Governor seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Amy Klobuchar, overwhelmingly won the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Her closest rival, Congresswoman Angie Craig, did not even bother to attend the party convention. While Craig decried the supposed anti-democratic nature of a party convention endorsement, Flanagan posted a video telling Craig “If you can't show up and face your own party, then you're not ready to face Republicans,” per the Nation. Flanagan can boast the endorsement of many high-profile progressives in addition to Sanders, such as Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, and Minnesota's own Tina Smith, among many others. If elected, she would be the first ever Native American woman to serve as Governor of an American state.* More much-publicized endorsements came this week from AOC and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who both endorsed DSA-aligned legislative candidates, but as City and State NY notes, not the same ones. Mamdani gave his blessing to Darializa Avila Chevalier, a DSA-backed candidate running to unseat powerful Rep. Adriano Espaillat who is seeking his sixth term in Congress. Polling shows Avila Chevalier runs ahead of Espaillat when voters learn about her platform, but lags behind due to low name recognition – something the Zohran endorsement is sure to help remedy. Meanwhile AOC issued her endorsement of four DSA candidates for the state legislature. This all suggests that the two titans of the New York City Democratic Socialist movement are coordinating – with Zohran seeking to boost DSA's prospects without alienating the New York state establishment and vice versa for AOC – but that is nothing more than a hunch.* Looking southward, lame duck Republican Senator John Cornyn this week posted an article on his official Twitter page titled “Libertarian Ted Brown courts disaffected conservative voters in Texas' U.S. Senate race,” from Houston Public Media. Senator Cornyn's comment – “Ruh roh” – set off a firestorm of speculation that this was a subtle endorsement of the Libertarian's campaign and intended to undermine the campaign of his erstwhile opponent and victor of the Republican Senate primary, Ken Paxton. While Cornyn has furiously denied that this is in any way an endorsement of Brown, calling even the “characterization” that he is “promoting” this candidate “fake news,” there is little doubt that posting about Brown from his official account constitutes a promotion of the campaign, albeit not an endorsement. It will be interesting to see whether Cornyn takes other subtle, or not so subtle, digs at Paxton over the course of the campaign, given that he seems to hold a substantial degree of antipathy towards the Texas Attorney General.* Our next two stories come to us from Florida. First, in Florida's 24th congressional district, the National Journal reports longtime Congresswoman Frederica Wilson will not seek reelection. We recently discussed Congresswoman Wilson on this segment when it was revealed that she had been MIA from the House for weeks following an undisclosed eye surgery. Wilson is 82 years old. The National Journal couches this story in the context of aged members of Congress accepting, or more often refusing, to pass the torch. In its gerontocracy tracker, it highlights members like Doris Matsui, John Garamendi, Jim Clyburn and Maxine Waters, all of whom are 80 years old or older, who are actively seeking reelection this cycle.* Meanwhile, in Florida's 20th district, the Sunshine State's redistricting initiative has put the historically Black district in jeopardy. Under the newly drawn lines, the frontrunner in this seat is Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and though she claims the Congressional Black Caucus and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told her that “they know I know our community” the CBC has not endorsed her and Rep. Yvette Clarke, the CBC's chairwoman, said the caucus did not encourage Wasserman Schultz to run in the district. However, there are currently four Black candidates vying for the seat previously held by Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, including Cherfilus-McCormick herself as well as progressive challenger Elijah Manley, former Mayor of Broward County Dale Holness and Luther Campbell the former rapper more famously known as Uncle Luke. Now, according to the Miami Herald, all four of these candidates are meeting to “discuss coalescing behind one candidate.” Manley is quoted in this piece saying that while they have not reached an agreement, they “did agree that we needed to consolidate,” and he said the “conversations are going on. They have been very constructive and fruitful.” It is encouraging that in the wake of Callais decision we are beginning to see a more strategic approach to Black political representation, which has been too long monopolized by powerful longtime incumbents intent on nothing so much as preserving their own fiefdoms.* Finally, in a story shocking to exactly no one, Axios is out with a new report showing that the National Guard occupation of Washington D.C. has done little to reduce crime in the District. Per a new study by the centrist Niskansen Center, while the security theater of the deployment seems to have deterred “opportunistic” property crime, violent crime remained on the same downward trajectory it had been on since before the deployment. Moreover, the promised co-benefit – that the presence of the Guard would free up the Metropolitan Police Department to focus on high-crime areas – did not materialize at all. Despite these lackluster results, President Trump plans to double the National Guard presence in Washington – which already costs $1.5 million a day – ahead of the 250th anniversary events this summer. This is an outrageous waste of taxpayer money especially now that we know for sure how little impact this hostile occupation is actually having on driving down violent crime.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Texas Republicans just traded a sitting U.S. senator for a man under multiple indictments by a 27-point margin. Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General with a securities fraud record, a bribery investigation, an impeachment by the Texas House, and a whistleblower settlement Texas taxpayers paid for, crushed two-decade incumbent John Cornyn in the May 26 Republican primary runoff. Cornyn's allies spent over $100 million documenting Paxton's scandals. The voters did not move. That fact is the real story.Host Radell Lewis breaks down what just happened in Texas, what it tells us about the institutional trust collapse underneath the result, and what the November general election against state Representative James Talarico looks like from here.

In this episode, Alex breaks down the shocking Texas Republican primary where Donald Trump-backed Ken Paxton crushed longtime Senator John Cornyn despite years of corruption scandals, impeachment, and legal controversy. Alex explains why the race left him feeling four emotions at once: schadenfreude watching Cornyn's political humiliation, anger that Republican voters embraced Paxton anyway, excitement because Democrats may now have a real chance in Texas, and anxiety over what could happen if the general election turns chaotic or contested. The episode explores how Trump's grip on the GOP continues to reshape American politics — even when the candidate is the Texas Attorney General facing accusations of abusing his own office.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the media is truly stupid in its reporting on the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, which portrayed PM Benjamin Netanyahu as the unprovoked aggressor hammering Lebanon with no context whatsoever. In reality, while Iran negotiates with the United States, its proxy Hezbollah has launched more missiles and drones at northern Israel than ever before, killing people, and forcing evacuations as part of a deliberate plan to drive Israelis out of the north and then the center, concentrating the population in a tiny area. The entire ruling class—including Democrats, some Republicans, and the media—is pathetically weak and stupid, while many podcasters gain attention simply by being as obnoxious, vile, and poisonous as possible. Also, it's a tough challenge to keep an Islamist, Nazi, 7th-century, barbaric, primitive ideological regime contained when one of its core principles is to lie, cheat, deceive, and conceal during any deals. The Iranian regime exists solely to promote a revolution by imposing its Islamist Nazi ideology on the West and every other corner of the world; it will not negotiate that objective away. They are the warmongers, while the United States is simply trying to defend itself. Later, Rep Chip Roy calls in to explain what's at stake in today's primary runoff election for Texas Attorney General. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued an administrative subpoena to Hasan Piker and Code Pink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin for possibly violating Cuba sanctions during a March trip to the island for an “ideologically charged transnational convergence of Communists.”  Piker identified billionaire Neville Roy Singham as the key “funding vehicle” behind a network of tax-exempt nonprofits that organize and finance anti-American street protests and political movements. These tax-exempt groups function as overt political operations in violation of nonprofit laws. Finally, Roy Altman calls in to discuss his new book - Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

President Trump’s MAGA magic is alive and stronger than ever. The political establishment and the mainstream media told America that Trump was losing his grip on the Republican Party. Texas just proved them dead wrong. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton absolutely crushed longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a political earthquake that sent a clear message to the GOP establishment: the America First movement is still firmly in control. Adding to the Trump win column, Mayes Middleton rolled over Trump critic Chip Roy in the battle for Texas Attorney General. The old guard is falling fast and the MAGA movement is only getting stronger. The media keeps pushing the fantasy that Trump supporters are abandoning him. But election after election tells a completely different story. The Republican base is more energized, more loyal, and more determined than ever to purge the party of weak Republicans who refuse to stand with the America First agenda. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues spiraling into complete chaos. Outside an ICE detention facility in New Jersey, deranged left-wing activists are once again turning to rage, hysteria, and intimidation tactics in defense of illegal immigration. The images are stunning and disturbing. What they are really exposing is not compassion, but just how radicalized and unhinged today’s Democrat Party has become. Today on Stinchfield, we break down the Texas political bloodbath, Trump’s tightening grip on the MAGA movement, and why the Democrat Party appears to be collapsing into anger, extremism, and political desperation before our eyes.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Iranian regime has no intention of honoring any deal. They view negotiations merely as opportunities to delay while pursuing their goal of conquering and converting others through violence, as they believe Allah commands. The regime exists not to govern but to expand its influence worldwide. Also, Mount Zion—the literal 4,000-year-old birthplace of Judaism in what critics call Israel's disputed or occupied territory—predates Islam, Christianity, and any notion of Palestinians. Jew-haters and Israel-haters use “Zionist” as a supposed distinction from “Jew,” yet there would be no Jews without Mount Zion. Under President Polk, when Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, and California were added 180 years ago despite Mexico's claims; no one today debates those states as “occupied territory,” nor questions that Americans live on land taken from Indian tribes 140 years ago. Yet Israel must endlessly defend its far older homeland against the same logic. Later, the birthright citizenship Supreme Court decision will demand courage to rule correctly - failure to do so would inflict severe, lasting damage on the nation. Some weaker Republican justices may uphold the status quo to avoid intense personal backlash from the left while the left operates a well-organized, networked, and well-funded militia that confronts ICE and local police across the country. Finally, with the election on Tuesday Rep Chip Roy calls in to update his run for Texas Attorney General. Roy also talks about the effort to Islamify Texas. Islam is primarily a political ideology masquerading behind the First Amendment to wage jihad against the West. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this heartfelt episode of John Solomon Reports, we take a moment to honor the brave heroes of our nation—our veterans and the police officers who have served both on the battlefield and in our communities. John Solomon emphasizes the sacrifices made by those who defended our freedoms over the past 250 years, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by wounded veterans now left without a safety net. He introduces the Wounded Blue, an organization dedicated to supporting injured officers who have been abandoned by their departments due to injuries sustained in the line of duty.The episode features Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, who shares his insights on the upcoming Texas Attorney General race and discusses new legislation that could impact the state. As the show progresses, John shifts focus to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), examining its current challenges and the urgent need for reform. Senator Roger Marshall, a practicing physician, and Dr. David Gortler, a former FDA regulator, provide critical perspectives on the agency's operations and the implications for public health.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A renewed push for accountability around Dr. Anthony Fauci and COVID-era decision-making is highlighted as Ken Paxton argues that federal pardons and political protections have made it harder to fully investigate what he calls misinformation and potential misconduct. He also emphasizes efforts to uncover the origins of pandemic policies, vaccine communications, and government agency influence, while criticizing limits on Texas's prosecutorial authority.

Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton has sued Netflix, accusing the platform of harvesting user data—including from children—without consent and using “dark patterns” to keep viewers watching. Netflix calls the lawsuit baseless, saying it respects privacy and complies with laws as it prepares to defend against the claim in court. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 1481, doubling mandatory recess in elementary schools from 20 to 40 minutes per day, split into two periods if needed. The law also bans taking recess away as a form of discipline. Supporters say it boosts students’ physical health, mental well-being, and classroom focus.

Glenn discusses the concerning progression of left-wing violence as attempts on President Trump's life continue to increase.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, a premature end to the Operation Epic Fury, without fully eliminating the regime, risks repeating the mistakes after World War I, when a devastated Germany gave rise to the Third Reich and led to World War II and the Holocaust. Meanwhile, we have the opposition in America from the neo-fascists, Marxists, Islamists, Woke Reich, and parts of the media who are trying to tie the administration's hands by opposing any troops, regime change, or action on the uranium, effectively ensuring America cannot win. Also, the U.S. and allies need to arm Iranian people immediately! One thing we can do, which Reagan did in Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua, is arm the people in Iran so they are no longer butchered by these monsters without the ability to fight back!  They will rise up as a real fighting force, but they need weapons!  And it must be done immediately, especially if we are talking about ending our military operation in a few weeks! Later, it was announced that President Trump will give an Address to the Nation Wednesday on Iran. A President usually gives a speech like this if he's changing course on the war.  Afterward, Judge Leon blocks Trump White House ballroom project for now. Leon is a former Republican staffer on Capitol Hill. A RINO. Finally, Rep Chip Roy calls in to give an update on his race for Texas Attorney General. Learn more about your ad choices.

In case we needed more reasons to denaturalize and deport Muslims, we're finding out more about the alleged attackers behind the Michigan synagogue and Old Dominion University shootings. Both men were naturalized citizens yet clearly hated America.

Texas Attorney General candidate and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) discusses his bill that would pause immigration throughout the country.

Should Texas Therapists Stop Treating Kids? Texas SB14, Gender-Affirming Care, and the Risks for Therapists In this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy discuss a new interpretation of Texas SB14 that may place therapists at risk for providing gender-affirming care to trans youth. They explore how a recent opinion from the Texas Attorney General could broaden the law's reach beyond medical providers to include mental health professionals. Curt and Katie break down what this interpretation could mean for therapists working with minors, including possible risks related to licensure, malpractice coverage, mandated reporting, and criminal liability. They also discuss the ethical tension between evidence-based care and compliance with state law, and the difficult decisions clinicians may face when considering whether to continue working with kids. Key Takeaways: A new interpretation of Texas SB14 may include mental health professionals as part of the “healthcare pipeline” facilitating gender transition for minors. The legal term “facilitating” could potentially include referrals, letters, or even supportive therapy conversations. Therapists may face risks related to licensure complaints, malpractice coverage exclusions, or legal consequences if their care is interpreted as supporting gender transition. Mandated child abuse reporting requirements could create additional legal and ethical concerns. Clinicians may need to assess their personal risk tolerance when deciding whether to continue working with minors.

WarRoom Battleground EP 951: Breakdown Of The Texas Attorney General Debate

The first votes of the 2026 midterm elections will soon be cast in Texas, and the Senate primary race is shaping up to be messy for both Democrats and Republicans. The two blue candidates, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett and state Representative James Talarico are each facing blowback for comments they made about race and identity. There's also an intraparty fracture between the GOP's establishment and insurgent wings exposing itself in the race between incumbent Senator John Cornyn and his challenger, Texas Attorney General and Trump ally Ken Paxton. We'll unpack how unsettled party fault lines on both sides could impact the general election.This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bipartisan package called the Housing for the 21st Century Act. Back in October, the Senate passed its own legislation called the ROAD to Housing Act. Both aim to boost housing supply and make buying more affordable for Americans. We'll break down the policies and the politics.The Winter Olympics are underway in Italy and some American athletes are feeling complicated about representing the United States. After 27-year-old skier Hunter Hess expressed his “mixed emotions,” President Trump responded by calling him “a real loser.”  That insult is common in Trump's playbook when talking to political foes. We'll talk about whether that playbook is still effective, especially when Olympians are the target.Producer: Robin EstrinHost: David Greene Guests:  Elizabeth Bruenig, staff writer, The Atlantic - @ebruenig Will Swaim, host of National Review's “Radio Free California;” president at the California Policy Center - @willswaim

Riley Gaines is joined by Rob Farquharson from the Texas Attorney General's Office as they break down how the NCAA continues to posture publicly on women's sports while refusing to enforce reality behind the scenes. What began as Gaines vs. the NCAA has now escalated into Texas vs. the NCAA, as lawsuits target organizations that allowed men into women's sports while misleading athletes and the public. Rob explains the legal strategy driving these cases, including the consumer deception argument and a deposition moment where an NCAA representative refused to acknowledge basic biological facts, while Riley highlights the real harm women have suffered as a result - including athletes who were never told the truth about who they were competing against or living with. A clear-eyed conversation about why statements aren't enough anymore, and why Texas is stepping in where the NCAA won't. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, most of the media are criticizing U.S. attacks on Venezuelan drug boats as illegal with cherry picked experts who don't specify what law was violated or rely on vague arguments. It's an act of war when Venezuela sends in toxic drugs to America. It's odd that the Democrats and some RINO's first instinct is to attack Pete Hegseth and not the enemy. The more they hate you the more effective you are. Later, Rep Chip Roy calls in with an update on his race for Texas Attorney General. He also argues that the President of the United States has the constitutional authority under Article II powers to preemptively strike a boat carrying drugs operated by narco-terrorists from Venezuela. Afterward, Qatar is ramping up a charm offensive amid scrutiny over its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood following the October 7 attacks, hosting House Republicans and influencers. Also, Dinesh D'Souza calls in and reveals that Qataris view themselves as the true chosen people due to their effortless oil wealth, freeing the nation from labor. Instead, they pursue financial jihad by deploying resources to purchase influence. For decades, they've targeted American universities, funding entire departments like political science rather than isolated events. Recently, they've shifted to infiltrating the conservative movement to foster divisions within the right, achieving some success with substantial funding that many are yielding to, and people should recognize this as a paid influence operation. Finally,  there's a new Democrat Party confederacy, where sanctuary cities and states unconstitutionally nullify federal immigration laws under the Supremacy Clause, akin to secession since the Civil War. Democrats disregard the law and Constitution, destroying the country by supporting communities pushing Sharia law and Islamist enclaves to influence states like Texas, with figures like Zohran Mamdani embodying their power-driven ideology.
