Podcast appearances and mentions of John Cornyn

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including Senate Republicans openly criticizing President Donald Trump after he unexpectedly blocked the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing package and tied it to the SAVE Act voter ID legislation, sparking frustration from senators including Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, and John Kennedy who warn the votes currently do not exist to pass the measure; the legal battle over the murder conviction of Karmelo Anthony escalating as a team of prominent civil rights attorneys, including Texas NAACP President Gary Bledsoe and lawyers from Ben Crump Law, move to appeal Anthony's conviction in the killing of Austin Metcalf; and JP Morgan Chase firing executive Angie Baez after a viral video from the New York Knicks championship parade showed her dumping trash into the street while attempting to take a Knicks-themed garbage can as a souvenir, and much more.

REVIEWS Review: Peter Gesinnia from Texas WLS Review from Peter Gesinnia 5 squares. Bang Ranking anything based on looks in a podcast is stupid as fuck, but octa-GONE'l Limbaugh is golden! Review: Kyle R from Iowa Show Review5 Squares. Since my last text that started with “Dear WLS” was read as a show review I feel obligated to do one. This show is like the trucks you see pulling into your favorite KOA. Jeremy is already there setup with his mobile command trailer on his one ton diesel crew cab. Pretty sure he only got neutered because one more kid would put him in a Class A, and those would be tough to mount a belt feed on. Shawn is there with his 1/2 ton meticulously packed for efficiency. He just can't figure out why it rides like shit. It's because his 3,000 pounds of gear has it sitting on the bump stops. Nick has a hammock strung between his old school Ranger and Shawn's truck. Light, nimble, practical, and an overall durable rear end if you excuse the occasional leaks. Aaron has a Subaru Brat. Not American, not a truck, not a car, not a great camping choice, but he would die on that hill arguing all sides. In fact, I believe he forgot to ask for a jump start 6 months ago before everyone else left and is still there to this day. Savage is there in a Honda Ridgeline arguing that technically it's a truck. Nobody wants to admit he's American because we all know his loyalty belongs to somewhere on the Asian continent. Kyle R Review: Dustin from NC Dustin From NCLove the show fellas. Possibly because of the constant marketing but l have thought of the cast like Toy Story characters multiple times lately. Jeremy reminds me of Woody. Instead of saying ‘There's a snake in my boots!' when his string gets pulled it is phrases like RIVERS OF BLOOD, Pittance, Uptown Gentleman, and misc swearing. Savage is like a Speak and Spell that got dropped in the toilet so it malfunctions while reading the news stories in verbatim. Nick is Mr. Potato Head. Because he dumps everything out the rear hatch multiple times an episode. Shawn is the Barbie doll legs attached to the fishing pole because he manages to reel the cast in from segment to segment and is horrible to look at. All ribbing aside, I appreciate the time and effort put into the segments and throughly enjoy the show each week.

On Iran, Hawk recaps the collapse of the Switzerland talks with JD Vance after Trump threatened the Iranian delegation on social media, and raises the point that Lebanon and Israel are not signatories to any negotiations despite being central parties to the ongoing conflict. He also covers the Supreme Court's new gun ruling tied to marijuana use, referencing commentary from Michael Popok, Lisa Graves, and Slate's Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern on Neil Gorsuch's reasoning. Hawk addresses the UFC fighter's remarks about Kamala Harris made at a White House event alongside Joe Rogan, and closes with election analyst Larry Sabato's outlook on 2026 Republican turnout, including Trump's successful primary purges of Thomas Massey, John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Tom Tillis.

The vice president of the United States called a meeting in the Situation Room last year to discuss the administration's cover-up of the Epstein files. Never mind that there were allegations in the files that Trump had had sex with an underage girl in Epstein's child trafficking ring—and which somehow involved Trump's alleged nipple fetish. The Epstein victims and the underlying crimes were not a priority in the meeting; getting Ghislaine or Vance on a friendly podcast was.

In a scathing critique, the speaker takes aim at the hypocrisy of politicians who claim to be loyal to their constituents but only reveal their true convictions when it's no longer relevant. Using the examples of John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy, two Republican senators who recently lost their primaries, the speaker argues that these politicians have a history of changing their stances to appease their party leaders and donors.This episode delves into the world of politics, where the lines between loyalty and deception are blurred. The speaker examines the ways in which politicians use their power to manipulate the system and avoid accountability. From the use of cloture to the importance of voter turnout, the conversation covers the intricacies of the US Senate and the ways in which politicians can maintain a veneer of loyalty while secretly working against the interests of their constituents.The speaker also touches on the topic of voter fraud, citing the example of California's slow and contentious election process. They argue that the state's approach to election administration is not only inefficient but also creates an environment where misinformation and conspiracy theories can thrive. The conversation also explores the implications of this issue and how it affects the democratic process.If you're tired of being misled by politicians who claim to be on your side, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on the state of politics and the importance of holding our elected officials accountable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

The Trump administration is backing away from a planned $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund after a revolt from Republicans on Capitol Hill. The fund, tied to a settlement and intended to be administered by the Justice Department, had drawn criticism as a potential slush fund that could benefit Trump allies prosecuted under the Biden administration. White House officials told GOP leaders they were retreating from the proposal, at least for now.What stands out to me is that this was never something Trump could simply do by executive order. It would have had to move through Congress, and right now he is running short on political leverage. Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell have already shown they're willing to break with the administration. Add in senators like Tom Tillis, John Cornyn, and Bill Cassidy, who have their own political considerations, and suddenly there are a lot of Republican votes that need convincing. If every other priority is tied to this fund, it becomes a problem. The White House has signaled retreat…. for now.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

The lawsuit argues that AI contributes to harms including addiction, suicide, and even mass shootings. What makes this interesting is that there are no clean ideological fault lines on AI. In Florida, AI is increasingly being treated as just another version of Big Tech, grouped together with the companies conservatives believe have censored or de-platformed them. Simultaneously, politicians in states like Michigan are celebrating AI investments, data centers, and the jobs that come with them, even as it might leave Gretchen Whitmer on the outside looking in for 2028. As AI becomes a larger part of the economy, states are going to play a much bigger role in determining how it develops.But our biggest story remains Iran. Over the last few days, a targeted IRGC commander killing, an attack on a U.S. airbase in Kuwait, and reports that Iran is ending ceasefire talks have all pushed events away from diplomacy and toward escalation. Iran is threatening to fully shut down the Strait of Hormuz and other export routes. The president of Iran has reportedly tendered his resignation, while the IRGC appears to be tightening its grip on power. At the same time, Hezbollah has reportedly signaled a willingness to accept a ceasefire with Israel, though neither American nor Israeli officials seem convinced it would hold.Everything now revolves around leverage. The Strait of Hormuz is Iran's last major bargaining chip. If it reopens without major concessions, Tehran loses a significant source of pressure. If Iran gives up its nuclear ambitions or loses the ability to project power through regional proxies, the regime risks undermining the very justification it has used for decades. Meanwhile, global oil markets are hanging on every development. Hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough have helped keep prices contained, but each new escalation raises the possibility that the conflict widens and energy markets absorb the shock.One small but important development is that internet access appears to be returning inside Iran after months of restrictions. That means more information is beginning to flow out of the country at a moment when the political situation appears increasingly unstable. Whether this ends in negotiations, further military action, or a deeper internal power struggle unfortunately remains wrapped in the fog of war.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:07 - Interview with Evan Scrimshaw00:39:19 - Trump Slush Fund00:42:13 - AI Lawsuit00:46:34 - Iran00:50:10 - Interview with Charlie Feldman01:30:42 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Ron Simmons guest hosts "Relatable" and breaks down the explosive DNC 2024 election autopsy that the party tried to bury. The report admits Democrats have lost ground at every level since Obama, failed to build a positive case for Kamala Harris, leaned too heavily on identity politics, and got crushed by Trump's “they/them” messaging — while ignoring rural voters and everyday economic concerns. Next, Ken Paxton crushes John Cornyn in the Texas Senate runoff as Trump-backed challengers continue reshaping the GOP, while Democrats grapple with their own messy primary fights and controversial nominees. Plus, the tragic story of a pro-Trump veteran killed after years of harassment, Giants QB Jaxson Dart introducing President Trump, and the glaring double standard from the Left when athletes go conservative. Lastly, Ron gives an update on the war with Iran and answers some viewer questions on a variety of topics, including the economy, when to buy a home, and AI.

President Trump doesn't seem to care that much about winning the midterms. He's more unpopular at this point in his second term than basically any of his modern predecessors. Democrats seem poised to retake the House and have a real chance of retaking the Senate. You might expect a president in that position to pivot to the center, to focus on voters' top concerns and try to boost the strongest Republicans in key races. Trump isn't doing any of that. Instead, he announced a $1.8 billion slush fund to pay out “victims of lawfare,” he threatened to re-escalate the Iran war, and he intervened in Republican primaries in ways that are gifts to Democrats, like endorsing the scandal-plagued Ken Paxton over the incumbent, John Cornyn, in Texas' Senate race. Why doesn't Trump seem to care more about winning? Liam Donovan is a Republican strategist and a president at Targeted Victory, a Washington public affairs and digital marketing firm. He has worked on the National Republican Senatorial Committee and for Cornyn. In this conversation, we discuss the moves Trump is making, the rough political environment for Republicans and what the paths to Democratic victories look like.

John welcomes back Politico's Jonathan Martin to discuss the Texas Senate race: how scandal-soaked Attorney General Ken Paxton thrashed incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the GOP primary run-off; Democratic nominee James Talarico's “race against time” to define himself before Paxton's effort to cast him as a weak, weird, ultra-woke vegan sinks in with voters; and whether Democrats are once again chasing fool's gold in Texas or the race is a genuine toss-up. JMart also unpacks the latest episode of his “On The Road” YouTube series, featuring Pennsylvania governor and likely 2028 presidential candidate Josh Shapiro.

Could reality TV star Spencer Pratt become Mayor of Los Angeles? And could Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton cause Texas to go blue? This week, Alex dives into all things primaries to see if we can read the tea leaves for what awaits both Republicans and Democrats in the future. She's joined by Nikki Laurenzo, anchor and political reporter for FOX40 in Sacramento, to break down the chaotic and still very undecided races shaping California politics. Then she speaks to Crooked Media's Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of Pod Save America and author of the Message Box newsletter, to get a read on the consequences of Senator John Cornyn's loss to Ken Paxton, and why a crowded gubernatorial primary in California could be a warning for Democratic presidential hopefuls in 2028.

Despite whatever President Donald Trump has said over the last few days, his war in Iran does not look like it's ending soon. But here's the thing: a major factor in what happens with Trump's Iran war isn't Trump – it's Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite a ceasefire, Israel has continued to bomb targets in southern Lebanon – part of the country's war against Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed proxy militia that controls a swath of Lebanon. And on Wednesday, Israel told residents of southern Lebanon to leave their homes as the Israeli military moves into new areas of the country. So what do Israel's goals mean for Trump's Iran war – and the future of the Middle East? To find out, we spoke to Nahal Toosi. She's the senior foreign affairs correspondent and columnist at POLITICO.And in headlines: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton dominated Sen. John Cornyn in Tuesday's Senate Republican primary runoff; House Democrats introduce a bill to block construction of Trump's proposed "triumphal arch;” and a Ball State University employee gets paid after she was fired for criticizing Charlie Kirk.Show Notes: Check out Nahal's work – https://tinyurl.com/4nmp552x Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss what Ken Paxton's dominant win over John Cornyn could mean when he faces Democrat James Talarico for the Texas Senate seat in November, how Trump has no good options in the ongoing negotiations over a possible deal with Iran, and why lawmakers need to act on AI before it's too late with guest Alex Bores, New York Assemblymember and Democratic candidate for Congress.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss the content and context of Pope Leo's first encyclical letter, "Magnifica Humanitas," its warnings against the dangers of ungoverned AI, and the realism of its approach to technology that outpaces our ability to solve very human problems. In the latest Gabfest Reads, John Dickerson talks with Bloomberg columnist Adrian Wooldridge about his new book The Revolutionary Center: The Lost Genius of Liberalism. In a moment when American democracy is under assault from authoritarian populists and dogmatic progressives, Wooldridge argues that liberalism itself offers the most resilient framework for pluralistic, self-correcting societies.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Ken Paxton's stunning primary victory over John Cornyn in the most expensive Senate primary in American history and why Trump's takeover of the Republican Party is pushing the GOP deeper into extremism and corruption. They analyze the fractures inside the Texas Republican Party, James Talarico's growing momentum with moderates and independents, and why Republicans are suddenly terrified they could lose a Senate seat once considered untouchable. Kander and Gupta also dive into mounting economic anxiety as Americans sour on Trump's handling of inflation, energy prices, and Iran, while his administration struggles to explain broken promises on lowering costs. Plus, they discuss new corruption scandals surrounding Trumpworld, voting rights battles in Alabama and South Carolina, and how right-wing media bubbles keep many voters in the dark about Trump's escalating abuses of power.

The speaker dives into the recent Texas primary results, where John Cornyn's loss has left many wondering what's next for the Republican party. The conversation also touches on the rise of Islamist influence in American politics, with a focus on Thomas Massie and his connections to anti-Israel causes. The speaker expresses concern over the increasing normalization of anti-Semitic rhetoric and the potential consequences for American society. The episode explores the intersection of politics and economics, with a critical look at the policies of those who claim to be fighting for the people. The speaker questions the motives of individuals like Graham Platner, who advocate for increased taxes on the wealthy, but seem to be more interested in protecting their own interests. This leads to a broader discussion on the dangers of identity politics and the manipulation of societal issues for personal gain. The conversation also delves into the world of social media influencers, where individuals like Hassan Piker are using their platforms to spread Marxist ideologies and anti-Semitic rhetoric. The speaker highlights the hypocrisy of these individuals, who claim to be fighting for social justice while promoting divisive and hateful ideologies. If you're concerned about the direction of our country and the influence of Islamist and Marxist ideologies, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on the recent Texas primary results and the implications for American society.

Ken Paxton defeated four-term Senator John Cornyn in the Texas Republican primary by nearly two to one, setting up what could be the most competitive Senate race in the state in decades as Democrats see an opening. South Carolina Republicans blocked President Trump's push to redraw the state's congressional map, with some in the party warning the nationwide redistricting effort is energizing Democrats and independents ahead of the midterms. And President Trump has declared progress on an Iran deal at least six times and still no deal, now as negotiations continue Trump is pushing for more Gulf countries to join the Abraham Accords.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Megan Pratz, Larry Kaplow, Rebekah Metzler, Mohamad ElBardicy and Taylor Haney.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.

HUGE WIN for the America First movement! President Trump just delivered another decisive blow to the Washington establishment, as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton crushed RINO Senator John Cornyn in a massive 27-point landslide. Paxton destroyed Cornyn 64% to 36% in the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff — proving once again that Trump's endorsement is unstoppable and the Republican base is demanding real fighters, not career politicians. This runoff victory further proves that President Trump remains the most powerful force in Republican politics. While Washington insiders and moderate Republicans warned against backing Paxton, the voters of Texas overwhelmingly chose the fighter who stood with Trump over the longtime establishment senator. We also cover: Does the Bible talk about abortion? Fox News' Alexis McAdams called a “NAZI bitch.” Steve Jobs CHANGED the world. Zohran Mamdani wealth distribution is coming.

- Ken Paxton crushes John Cornyn in Texas, turning the race into another blunt rejection of old-guard Republicans who drift from Trump and the base. - James Talarico is cast as the Democrats' latest self-inflicted disaster, with his rhetoric on trans issues, gender ideology, meat, climate, and borders making him look wildly out of sync with Texas voters. - New York's Mamdani is framed as an unapologetic communist in office, openly moving toward property seizures and using city power to punish landlords and hand assets to nonprofits and activists. - The reaction to Jackson Dart introducing Trump is treated as proof that media and sports elites still melt down over even the mildest public association with the president. - California's fix for boys beating girls in sports is mocked as an accidental confession: the system now quietly admits the unfairness while still forcing girls to share the spotlight with male competitors.

Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

The U.S. launched fresh strikes on Iran, targeting missile sites and boats laying mines, even as Secretary of State Marco Rubio says negotiations to end the war could still take a few more days, with Israel warning the emerging deal is a bad one as it escalates attacks in Lebanon. Russia carried out one of its largest attacks on Ukraine, hitting every district in Kyiv over the weekend while Ukraine continues long-range drone strikes on Russian oil facilities and warns it desperately needs more air defense systems.Texas Republicans are voting today in the most expensive primary in U.S. history, with President Trump's endorsed candidate Ken Paxton challenging longtime Senator John Cornyn in a high-stakes race that could have major implications for the midterms.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Miguel Macias, Tina Kraya, Anna Yukhananov, Mohamad ElBardicy and John Stolnis.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.

In this episode of The Danielle Gill Show, Danielle sits down with Claremont Institute senior fellow Jeremy Carl for a deep dive into the Texas runoff between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn, the power of Trump’s endorsements, the 2026 mid-terms, and what these races signal for the future of the GOP. Jeremy breaks down hidden voter blocs, the Senate’s internal dynamics, the coming 2026 midterms, and how early positioning is already shaping the 2028 presidential field. They also explore the Democrats’ increasingly chaotic bench, the rise of figures like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, AOC, and why the party’s internal fractures may define the next decade. 00:00 – Intro & Jeremy Carl00:22 – Texas Runoff Breakdown: Paxton vs. Cornyn02:28 – National Ripple Effects & South Carolina Preview03:54 – Trump’s Endorsement Power & Kentucky Lessons07:02 – Runoff Strategy & Hidden Cornyn Vote09:04 – Senate Dynamics & GOP Resistance to Trump14:51 – Looking Ahead: 2026 Midterms & 2028 GOP Field Watch full clips of the Danielle Gill Show here:https://rumble.com/c/DanielleDsouzaGill/videos?e9s=src_v1_cmd Find the full audio show wherever you get your podcasts:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-danielle-gill-show/id1879812724 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3x6hMKFn1roWyzLzednxXL?si=nhZG0TauTOmkWBo_ieFhcw Follow Danielle Gill on all social platforms:X - https://x.com/danielledsouzag?s=21&t=EDXtjHM__JNF18166lWkTQInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/danielledsouzagillFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/share/14YvjS1Umni/?mibextid=wwXIfrTruth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@danielledsouzagillSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So much for Trump's iron grip on the party. Just days after Thomas Massie's defeat, Republicans in the Senate and House begin to buck Trump on his top priorities: ballroom funding, the taxpayer-funded slush fund for his allies, and the war in Iran. Could it be that his surprise endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas Senate primary didn't help matters? Faced with mounting leaks, the DNC finally releases its 2024 autopsy — an incoherent, error-riddled mess that Chairman Ken Martin admits was a failure from the start. The New York Times releases new polling data on what Democrats think the party needs to do to win in 2028. Then, California gubernatorial candidate Matt Mahan talks to Tommy about the race and his record as mayor of San Jose.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

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. Trump Endorses Paxton Clay Travis and Buck Sexton highlight the key Republican primary battles, most notably the Texas Senate race between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. During the hour, breaking news emerges that President Trump officially endorses Ken Paxton, immediately shifting momentum in the race and, according to the hosts, likely determining the outcome. They frame this endorsement as a major political development with implications for Senate control, emphasizing that Texas remains a crucial state in the GOP’s path to maintaining or expanding its majority. The hosts also provide a broader strategic analysis of the Senate map, arguing that Democrats face a difficult path to regain control given the number of competitive states leaning Republican. In addition to election coverage, Hour 1 includes discussion of foreign policy and national security, particularly the ongoing situation with Iran. The hosts note reports that President Trump may have paused or delayed potential military action due to apparent progress in negotiations, though they express skepticism based on past diplomatic efforts. They frame the Iran issue as a long-term geopolitical challenge that will extend beyond any single administration, with potential impacts on energy prices, global stability, and domestic political outcomes. The discussion connects foreign policy decisions directly to voter concerns, especially around gas prices and economic conditions, which are expected to play a major role in the midterms. Don't Believe the Hakeem Hype Clay and Buck discuss the evolving landscape of Republican leadership and Senate dynamics, particularly as several incumbent Republicans face political challenges or potential exits. The hosts analyze how figures like John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy are under pressure, suggesting that the party is undergoing a shift toward candidates more closely aligned with Trump’s agenda. They also raise concerns about the immediate legislative impact, noting that lame-duck senators and narrow margins in the Senate could complicate efforts to pass legislation, especially if party unity weakens. The broader takeaway is that control of the Senate remains highly sensitive to internal party shifts and primary outcomes, making these races especially consequential. Near-Death Experiences Change People The hosts spend significant time discussing what they view as a forward-looking, generational strategy, including infrastructure projects like the modernization of the White House and broader geopolitical initiatives. They argue that many of Trump’s actions—from potential Middle East policy outcomes to physical changes at the White House—are designed to have lasting effects well beyond his presidency. This conversation introduces broader political analysis around legacy-building, long-term governance strategy, and presidential leadership philosophy, contrasting short-term political pressures with long-term national planning. The discussion also touches on how foreign policy decisions intersect with public opinion and political messaging, with Trump asserting that while policies toward Iran may not always appear popular, they are necessary for national and global security. The hosts suggest that many voters are willing to give Trump latitude on these decisions while negotiations play out, reflecting broader themes of political trust, leadership authority, and voter patience during international crises. This is for the History Nerds The guys interview uthor Douglas Brunt, centered on his new book The Lost Empire of Emmanuel Nobel. This segment shifts into historical analysis and energy industry history, exploring the early development of the global oil industry and the role of the Nobel family in building a major petroleum empire in Russia. The conversation covers industrialization, the rise of energy markets, the Russian Empire, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the origins of modern geopolitics tied to oil and natural resources. The discussion connects historical events to present-day issues such as global energy competition, Russian influence, and geopolitical conflict, illustrating how historical developments continue to shape modern international relations. The interview also delves into broader historical themes, including the fall of the Russian monarchy, the rise of Soviet power, and the cyclical nature of reform and repression in Russian governance. The hosts and guest examine how these historical patterns relate to current geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and Russia’s strategic ambitions, integrating concepts such as energy geopolitics, Russian history, oil industry origins, and global power dynamics.
