In this episode, we shift our attention from the Trump administration to the winner of the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in Texas, state legislator and Presbyterian seminarian, James Talarico. Even before prevailing in that contest earlier this month, Talarico had been having something of a moment, appearing on Ezra Klein's podcast, being profiled by the New Yorker, and generating a wave of media coverage, much of it focused on Talarico's Christian faith, his criticisms of the religious right, and what it all might mean for his political prospects in a state that remains stubbornly red. We explore what we like and what we find frustrating about Talarico's attempt to mix religious rhetoric and populism; how he navigates the complexities of speaking the language of a particular religious tradition in an increasingly secular, pluralistic society; Dr. King, the Civil Rights Movement, and prophetic religion; the place of religion on the left, and how it differs from the religious right; Herbert McCabe and socialism; and more.

The Democratic Party shift did not happen overnight. The Democratic Party shift was the result of a decades-long ideological capture. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the dramatic transformation of the Democratic Party. From the common-sense Clinton-era positions on border security and national sovereignty to today's Democratic Socialist influence, this episode exposes how the party shifted from mainstream policies to an activist-driven agenda. Heading into the 2026 midterms, this episode analyzes the Three Pillars of the modern Democratic strategy: Anti-Trump mobilization, government expansion, and identity politics. It also examines the Texas Senate primary and the rise of figures like James Talarico to illustrate how far the political goalposts have moved. What You'll Learn: The Clinton vs. Talarico Contrast: Why 90s Democrats sound like conservatives by today's standards. The DSA Takeover: How the Democratic Socialists of America moved from the fringe to the center of Democratic Party power. Biological Reality vs. Rhetoric: How the Texas Senate race reflects the party's continued shift toward radical identity politics. The 2026 Midterm Warning: Why Republican complacency and rising gas prices from the Iran conflict could create a "perfect storm" for the Left. Governing vs. Grievance: Why bigger government became a substitute for solving actual American problems.

Bill Press examines two races that could shift U.S. politics: Texas's U.S. Senate contest and California's open governor's race. In Texas, reporter Maria Recio of The Austin American-Statesman, explains how state Rep. James Talarico beat Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary, citing his earlier start, stronger ground game, appeal to Latino voters, moderate and faith-based profile, and high Democratic turnout; the GOP nominee will be decided in a May 26 runoff between Sen. John Cornyn and AG Ken Paxton, with Trump's endorsement still uncertain and Paxton seen as more damaged by scandals. They discuss issues likely shaping 2026, including affordability, immigration enforcement conditions, and war. In California, Politico's Melanie Mason details the top-two “jungle primary,” warning Democrats that eight candidates could split votes enough to allow two Republicans to advance; current frontrunners include Katie Porter, Eric Swalwell, and wealthy spender Tom Steyer, amid few major endorsements.You can follow Melanie Mason's work at Politico.com/newsletters/californiaplaybookToday's Bill Press Pod is supported by The Ironworkers Union.

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

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

On this week's LIVE discussion, Charlie Sykes delivers a blistering critique of President Trump's Iran policy from a right-of-center perspective — calling out the chaos, contradictions, and long-term damage.We also dissect how “America First” became the most flexible slogan ever, bad optics (video game sizzle reels, golf caps during dignified transfers), economic fallout (oil spiking to $100+/barrel), and call out the Faustian bargains.Major topics discussed:— Trump's incoherent Iran strategy — No plan, no exit, shifting goals from regime change to “unconditional surrender” to whatever Trump decides that day— “America First” means nothing — It's just a flexible slogan that is defined by Trump's mood— Trivializing war — Video game-style White House reels (Top Gun clips, anime), wearing a golf cap at Dover dignified transfer, lack of solemnity amid fallen troops— Israel's influence & anti-Semitism risks — A war sold as for Israel's security is feeding conspiracy theories, and doing long-term damage to bipartisan support for Israel and Jewish communities— Russia-Iran ironies — Russia is reportedly aiding Iran against U.S. forces; Ukraine is helping intercept Iranian drones— White House hubris — “Yes”-men, repeating failed playbooks (“Mission Accomplished” redux), ignoring red flags— AI/job disruption backlash, generational damage to capitalism, the church, and conservatism— Texas Senate race update — Looks like James Talarico could beat Ken Paxton OR John Cornyn!— And MUCH moreIf you're tired of cheerleading and want honest analysis of Trump's presidency, this episode is a must-watch.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

They unpack Trump's obsession with “winning,” the backlash building inside MAGA world, and why rising gas prices could quickly turn the political tide at home. Wolff argues the real key to understanding Trump may not be in the Pentagon or the intelligence briefings—but inside the mind of Jared Kushner, the one person he believes truly understands Trump's thinking and the potential Gulf money and postwar deals at stake. They also dive into the uneasy body language of figures like Marco Rubio and JD Vance, the confusion among world leaders, and the political stakes back home—from the Texas Senate battle to a stunning Kristi Noem hearing that may have been the final straw for Trump to fire her as DHS Secretary.

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.

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?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmWe're at war with Iran all of a sudden, and nobody can say why, even the people who started the war. After closing the loop on the Texas Senate primary, Matt and Brian discuss:* What was Donald Trump thinking? * What consequences (regional, domestic, and global) should we be prepared for?* What do we make of the Democratic response so far?Then, because the war has no support and was not justified, the public is overwhelmingly opposed to it. This should tend to fracture Republicans and unite Democrats. But it raises some questions: Will the progressives who couldn't bring themselves to admit that Kamala Harris was the more anti-war of the two candidates in 2024 link arms with Democrats? Will the Trump supporters (GOP propagandists, marginal voters) who claimed to support Trump on anti-war grounds change their thinking? How much intra-GOP strife is driven by antisemitism? And what's the best way to make sense of the mixed messages and buck passing already leaking out of the administration?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Matt on the failure of the anti-antisemitism movement. * Brian argues Trump uses war abroad as an instrument of domestic politics, which he in turn views as civil war by other means.* Our initial views on the state of the Talarico v.

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. How Does This End? The escalating conflict with Iran. Clay and Buck break down a major report from Fox News’ Trey Yingst, who reveals that Israel struck a gathering of Iran’s Supreme Council while they were choosing a new Supreme Leader—an unprecedented intelligence and operational blow. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of U.S.–Israeli air superiority, expressing the view that Iran’s leadership is increasingly vulnerable and unable to protect even top officials. They discuss the likelihood of the U.S. and Israel shaping Iran’s future leadership, referencing historic parallels such as the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and Venezuela’s post‑Maduro transition. The conversation deepens as they react to President Trump’s warnings that failure to act against Iran’s nuclear program could have led to a “nuclear war,” followed by explosive comments from negotiator Steve Witkoff, who recounts Iran bragging about possessing enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs. Clay and Buck examine how these revelations accelerated U.S. action and what a post‑strike political landscape may look like inside Iran. Texas Primary Day! Clay Travis and Buck Sexton interview with Congressman Wesley Hunt, a leading candidate in the Texas Senate primary. Hunt lays out his case for next‑generation conservative leadership, citing his West Point background, combat service as an Apache pilot, support for term limits, and strong alignment with President Trump. He sharply criticizes what he calls the “soft bigotry of low expectations” from liberal politicians, slams Gavin Newsom’s recent comments, and emphasizes his commitment to cultural clarity on issues like gender, family values, and assimilation. Hunt also discusses Iran, calling Trump’s actions “peace through strength” and asserting that strategic force prevents greater conflict. Sen. Markwayne Mullin An extended interview featuring Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who discusses the unfolding U.S.–Israel military campaign against Iran. Senator Mullin emphasizes that this is not another Iraq or Afghanistan but a direct confrontation with a regime that has targeted Americans for 47 years. He explains why President Trump’s strategy differs from previous administrations and outlines the intelligence behind striking Iranian leadership, including revelations that Iran claimed to possess enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs. Mullin argues that Trump’s approach—eliminating threats rather than delaying action—is both historically rare and strategically necessary. Clay and Buck then explore how these operations intersect with the America First doctrine. Senator Mullin responds to skeptical constituents by explaining why actions in Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran directly impact U.S. national security, from drug trafficking to global energy markets. He details how a nuclear‑armed Iran could destabilize world shipping lanes, spike oil prices, endanger U.S. allies, and ultimately threaten the American homeland. The conversation also touches on congressional issues including the SAVE Act and the challenges of overcoming a Senate filibuster. In a lighter turn, the hosts dive into a humorous discussion about physical fitness on Capitol Hill, reacting to viral footage of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth bench‑pressing 315 pounds. Senator Mullin, known for his own extreme fitness feats, compares strength metrics across members of Congress and discusses why physical conditioning boosts confidence, mental health, and leadership. Clay Buys a Tesla In a lighter cultural shift, Clay and Buck riff on generational habits, restaurant drink trends, and Costco culture—highlighted by Buck’s wife humorously blaming his Pellegrino obsession for her bulk‑shopping trips. This segues into a forward‑looking discussion on the future of autonomous driving, sparked by Clay’s firsthand experience with Tesla’s self-driving technology. They predict that self‑driving cars will become the global standard within a generation, reducing accidents, lowering insurance costs, ending drunk driving, and transforming how Americans view car ownership and transportation.

The facts on the ground and the ludicrous statements speak for themselves: The administration inadequately planned for the execution of this war. That's likely why six service members were killed in an insufficiently protected facility. It's why our embassy in Riyadh and our consulate in Dubai were hit with drones. And the administration clearly does not have an exit plan. Venezuela had Trump thinking this could be a cakewalk, but in the Middle East, circumstances can change in a heartbeat.
