Forged by Fire: Jesse James on Craftsmanship, Controversy, and ReinventionThis week, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Jesse James, one of the most influential custom motorcycle builders of the modern era. A fabricator at heart and an old-school craftsman by trade, Jesse is best known as the founder of West Coast Choppers, a brand that redefined the custom chopper world with raw metal, rigid frames, and uncompromising attention to detail.Jesse's journey began in his mother's garage, where he learned the art of fabrication under the mentorship of legendary hot rod builder Boyd Coddington. What started as a passion for building with his hands quickly evolved into a full-scale operation in Long Beach, California—one that would grow to employ more than 50 people and produce hand-built motorcycles commanding prices from $50,000 to $150,000.His rise to national fame came through the Discovery Channel's Motorcycle Mania, which gave viewers an unfiltered look into his shop, his process, and his relentless standards. That exposure led to Monster Garage, cementing Jesse as a household name and a defining figure in reality-based automotive television.Known for crafting—not assembling—his bikes, Jesse's signature style emphasizes stretched frames, precision metalwork, and function-driven design over flash. His work has been commissioned by high-profile clients including Kid Rock and Shaquille O'Neal, further solidifying his influence across culture, sports, and entertainment.In 2010, after facing both personal and business challenges, Jesse closed the original West Coast Choppers headquarters and relocated to Texas. There, he rebuilt—both personally and professionally—continuing to create custom machines and expanding into new ventures, including firearms manufacturing and direct-to-consumer media through platforms like OTLW.tv.In this episode, Jesse opens up about learning discipline and skill the hard way, building a brand from nothing, the cost of fame and fast success, and why craftsmanship, grit, and honesty still matterThis is a raw, no-nonsense conversation about earning your skills, owning your mistakes, and building something real—one weld at a time.In this episode you will hear:• I went to Iraq in '03, a month after we invaded. We did a USO tour and Kid Rock went and invited me. Nobody from USO knew who I was, so I told them I was, so I lied and said I was his tour manager. (1:13)• I ended up going t jail my senior year for stealing cars. (14:47)• I went to college and it was like crabs trying to get out of a barrel. (15:25)• I was always working in the garage, building bikes. I had a Harley in High school. I was restoring bicycles, and building Volkswagons and sending them to Japan. I was hustling. (16:11)• From my parents being antique dealers, I had a huge, pretty valuable tin toy collection. Like really rare Mark 10 toys worth thousands of dollars. I loaded ‘em up in my car and took ‘em to the big toy show in Pasadena. I sold them all to a dealer, and I used that money to buy a mill and a lathe and a welder for my garage. (23:27)• If you're gonna wait for the right time, that's never coming. (23:51)• My dad started me really young working. I literally despised him for it. And now I'm thankful because I have this relentless work ethic. (25:01)• I restored a 1940 or '41 bicycle called the Hiawatha Chippewa. I bought it for $100. (29:08)• The first thing I ever made was a dust pan. (32:33)• I was getting pai $750 a week salary, and at night I was making about 15 grand a week, making and shipping fenders. (43:56)• If you would watch the Discovery channel in '99 and 2000, they would run [my documentary on how a motorcycle gets built by hand] over and over. It was the highest rated show in the history of the network. (53:32)• I did 118 cars. (56:43)• I love taking about what I do. I love interaction. (60:11)• [Marcus] When you're driving into work early – with an hour difference – what type of cars are on the road early in the morning as opposed to the ones during rush hour. I heard that. (61:47)• Success in this country, and in the world, isn't defined by tactile skills. (62:40)• I'm eliminating everything in my life that keeps me from working and being a craftsman.

Dems Eat Their Own in Texas. Clintons to Testify on Epstein. Elon's GROK Loves Porn. Jill Biden's Ex Charged w Murder. Savannah Guthrie's Mom. Liberals Buying Guns. ICE at Super Bowl? It's only Tuesday–and this week is already on fire. From ICE stalking kids and now Haitian caregivers, to Trump openly musing about “taking over” the fall mid-term elections and flirting with the Insurrection Act, Paul kicks off this all‑new daily episode with a blistering run through the wildest news of the day: Jill Biden's ex‑husband charged with murder, Savannah Guthrie's missing mother, a delayed moon mission, and another massive Russian barrage on freezing Ukraine.​ Then, Democratic strategist, nonprofit advisor and attorney Kaivan Shroff joins Paul from New York to get extremely reasonable about a Democratic Party that seems determined to eat its own. They dig into why the Democrats can't get out of their own way, overly focus on identity politics, and continue to hemorrhage voters nationwide. And they focus on the headline-snatching Texas Senate Democrat primary food fight between James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett, Colin Allred's “mediocre Black man” moment, and how very online identity wars and racial politics are distracting the Dems from from attracting independents, beating Republican Ken Paxton, winning back Texas, and actually stopping Trump.​ What the hell is wrong with the Democrats? So much.  Paul and Kaivan also break down why so many liberals are suddenly buying guns, what that means for suicide risk and public safety, and how Trump's ICE crackdown and gun restrictions have even hardcore Second Amendment advocates furious at the government he now runs. They explore whether this crisis could finally force a new, common‑sense unity and breakthrough national conversation about guns, civil liberties, and what real “law and order” looks like in Trump's America.

They dive into the diverse hunting culture of Texas, discussing the differences in hunting experiences across the state, from the coastal marshes to the plains. Curtis shares his journey into duck hunting, recounting memorable experiences and the evolution of hunting regulations post-Hurricane Harvey. The conversation also touches on the camaraderie that comes with hunting, emphasizing that the social aspect often outweighs the actual hunting itself.

In “Trade, Taste, and the Evolving Tale of Texas Whiskey,” Gravy reporter Evan Stern visits the Lone Star State to get a taste of a growing movement: Texas whiskey. Given the importance of saloons in cowboy culture and western mythology, one might think Texas whiskey has a long and storied history. But though Texans have always had a fondness for the demon drink, as a legal industry, Texas whiskey is barely even twenty years old. Despite this youth, however, its growth has been explosive. While as recently as 2010, the state claimed a mere two whiskey distilleries, that number now hovers around sixty and is growing. Yet as makers like Still Austin, Balcones, and Garrison Brothers have garnered awards and drawn national attention, its identity is still being discovered and remains challenging to define. In an increasingly saturated market, one also can't help but wonder: Is Texas whiskey on the cusp of something big, or will it bust? Through visits to two “grain to glass” distilleries, Stern learns of the industry's origins from Dan Garrison. The first licensed whiskey maker in modern Texas, Garrison tells of the challenges he faced aging bourbon in the torrid Hill Country and how his process has matured since his days as an early pioneer. Gravy also hears about the challenges regional distillers have faced in distinguishing their brands in a saturated market from sommelier Daniel Whittington, while Kentucky-based spirits author Fred Minnick argues that Texans' openness to experimentation has helped shift the flavor narrative of American whiskey. Illustrating this is John Evans who, in a move that could be considered unorthodox, has chosen to use oats in a mash bill he developed himself. A fifth-generation farmer, he opened Wilson Valley Mercantile on his family's historic property after thinking: “Why not make corn worth more by selling it as whiskey?” Featuring spirits distilled from grains raised entirely onsite, he shares his journey as an independent upstart.  In these conversations, Gravy asks questions about process and flavor, while exploring how Texas's emergence reflects the American craft movement and pondering what its future could mean for the drinking world as a whole.

The Justice Department releases more than three million more files related to Jeffrey Epstein, and the list of powerful people involved with the notorious pedophile is ... long. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett react to the most notable revelations from the new batch, including the many mentions of Trump, and then check in on the president's corrupt dealings, including a half-billion bribe from the United Arab Emirates and an attempt to steal $10 billion in taxpayer money in the form of a lawsuit against his own IRS, the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from ICE custody and the arrest of journalist Don Lemon, and Democrats' incredible 31-point legislative flip in Texas. Then, Tejano artist and Latin Grammy winner Bobby Pulido stops by the studio to talk to Tommy about his race for Congress and Trump's weakening support among Texas's Latino community.

Joan Bernal's episodes originally aired in October 2020. In December of 1988, Joan Bernal, her husband, and their children had plans to leave their home in Joliet, Illinois, and head to Texas to visit her husband's family for the holidays. Things didn't go as planned, and they weren't able to bring Joan's children from a previous marriage due to custody issues. According to Joan's husband, Gil, they decided to make the trip anyway. He later told investigators that Joan became upset during the drive and that he dropped her off near a bus stop in McAlester, Oklahoma, and gave her cash so she could return to Illinois. The plan, he said, was for Joan to pick up her other children and then fly to Texas to meet them. Joan Bernal has never been seen or heard from again.Over the years, this case has been marked by conflicting accounts, unanswered questions, and lingering uncertainty about what truly happened to Joan. Investigators and Joan's loved ones have wrestled with whether she could still be alive, whether foul play was involved, and why no verified trace of her has ever surfaced.Update:In December 2025, 37 years after Joan Bernal was last seen, the case took a significant turn. A Will County grand jury returned a sealed indictment charging Joan's husband, Gilbert Bernal, with first-degree murder in connection with her disappearance. Stay tuned through the end of Part 2 for more details on the recent developments in this case.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the explosive release of a massive trove of Epstein documents and the Trump DOJ's stunning decision to halt any further disclosures, despite clear legal obligations to release the full records. The documents that did come out contain particularly horrifying information involving Epstein, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and other powerful figures. The DOJ's mishandling of the files is prompting sharp condemnation from survivors who say the DOJ is once again failing them. We also cover a political shocker as Democrats pull off a major upset win in Texas and also flip a House seat, further shrinking MAGA Mike Johnson's already razor-thin margin. Plus, Trump shuts down the Kennedy Center after artists and performers boycott in protest, underscoring the growing backlash to his authoritarian moves. All that and more from Ben, Brett, and Jordy.

Colby talks about moving back to Texas and reconnecting with his roots, feeling “hungrier” than ever despite being no longer seen as a physical threat by the new cast. When Mike quizzes Colby in a “Friend or Foe” cast assessment, Colby fires from the hip and reveals how old-school alliances may collide with new-era game chaos. Colby even highlights his regrets from Heroes vs. Villains and All Stars, sharing how he's studied his past mistakes to transform his gameplay for Survivor 50. Genevieve gets her chance to weigh in, discussing her evolution from strategic player to a more balanced social game. She opens up about feeling like an outsider among a sea of returning players, revealing she has “no friends” on this cast and sees that as both a risk and an opportunity. Genevieve's own “Friend or Foe” reads are guided by gut instinct, raw vibes, and past Survivor arcs, with surprising picks and a little dry humor mixed in.

Source:.scmp.com Trump Launches $12 Billion Strategic Mineral Stockpile To Counter China; Rare Earth Stocks Jump The Trump administration is preparing to launch a major initiative aimed at protecting US manufacturers from disruptions in the supply of critical minerals, committing about $12 billion in initial funding to build a strategic stockpile of essential materials, according to Bloomberg. The project, known as Project Vault, is designed to reduce America's dependence on China for rare earths and other strategically important metals. By creating a centralized reserve for civilian industries, officials hope to cushion companies against sudden shortages and sharp price swings that can disrupt production and strain finances. Shares of MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Critical Metals and other rare earth associated names are higher between 5% and 10% heading into the cash open on Monday on the news. At this point it’s safe to say last week’s Reuters rare earth hit piece (authored most likely at the behest of a disgruntled short), which sent the sector tumbling on disputed claims the Trump administration was seeking to distance itself from the rare earth space by moving away from a price floor on critical metals and suggesting MP’s deal with the government may be in question, has been thoroughly debunked. Even the MP Materials X account was mocking the grotesque misreporting: https://twitter.com/MPMaterials/status/2016734732835573833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Project Vault will be financed through a mix of private and public funding: $1.67 billion is expected to come from private investors, while the US Export-Import Bank is set to provide a $10 billion loan with a 15-year term. The bank's board is scheduled to vote on the deal, which would be the largest in its history. More than a dozen major companies have joined Project Vault, including General Motors, Stellantis, Boeing, Corning, GE Vernova, and Google. Three large trading firms – Hartree Partners, Traxys North America, and Mercuria Energy – will handle sourcing and purchasing materials for the stockpile.    Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/2018319873609290010?s=20 https://twitter.com/StephenMoore/status/2017295983940354307?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2018300872447418573?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); Political/Rights https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/2018249171900227730?s=20 https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/2018147684276748388?s=20 https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/2018146323581513971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2018146323581513971%7Ctwgr%5Ebf8eb4e3fdfcee731660a65a8ed9f8dad15fa004%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F02%2Fnicki-minaj-fires-back-grammys-host-trevor-noah%2F know — yet they continue to attempt bullying.

The former cabinet minister, who was sacked as US ambassador last year because of his past connections to Epstein, appeared in the latest release of files by the US Department of Justice on Friday. Documents suggest Epstein made $75,000 (£55,000) in payments to Lord Mandelson in three separate $25,000 transactions in 2003 and 2004. In his letter to Labour’s general secretary on Sunday, Lord Mandelson said: “I have been further linked this weekend to the understandable furore surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and I feel regretful and sorry about this.” He added: “Allegations which I believe to be false that he made financial payments to me 20 years ago, and of which I have no record or recollection, need investigating by me.

Image of de-arresting by Minnesota ICE Watch. Minnesota ICE Watch, the organization that Renee Good and her wife were members of, distributed a document known as the “De-Arrest Primer,” which instructs activists on how to physically interfere with law enforcement officers during arrests. The manual provides detailed guidance on pulling detainees from officers' grips, pushing and pulling officers, breaking holds, and opening law enforcement vehicles to free suspects. The manual also teaches the use of coordinated chanting to create confusion and overwhelm officers during active arrests, as well as surrounding officers until they release detainees. The guide openly acknowledges that these actions may constitute criminal offenses but argues that the risk is justified. Each successful interference is described as a “micro-intifada,” framed as a tactic meant to spread, replicate, and inspire wider disruption. The manual claims these methods originated in pro-Palestinian campus protests and presents them as a model for broader resistance activity. While no single formal publisher is identified, the manual appears to originate from broader activist and radical networks that promote direct physical interference with law enforcement. It has circulated widely through Instagram and other activist communication channels and has been used in training individuals described as “constitutional observers” or “ICE watchers.”   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018111147237425556?s=20   https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018114619320017259?s=20   JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Signs “ICE On Notice” Executive Order to Prosecute ICE Agents  Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson at a press conference hosted by Illinois Governor J.B.

TRUMP President Trump to SETTLE $10 BILLION IRS LAWSUIT — Plans to DONATE THE PROCEEDS TO CHARITY President Donald J. Trump is preparing to settle his massive $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department, and he says he will donate the entire payout to reputable charities instead of keeping a penny for himself. President Trump, Eric Trump, Don Jr., and the Trump Org filed a lawsuit against the IRS for leaking their tax returns. They are seeking $10 billion in damages. In September 2023, federal prosecutors charged a former IRS contractor who worked for the agency from 2018 to 2020 with unlawfully obtaining and disseminating the tax details of a high-ranking public official and numerous affluent Americans to media outlets. According to court documents and an official press release from the Department of Justice, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official, referred to as Public Official A  – now known as Donald Trump. He then disclosed this information to a news organization identified as News Organization 1 – now known as The New York Times. Littlejohn reportedly stole IRS information on thousands of wealthy people. The stolen information was then disseminated to two news outlets (New York Times and ProPublica). “In July and August 2020, Littlejohn separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation's wealthiest individuals. Littlejohn was again able to evade IRS detection. In November 2020, Littlejohn disclosed this tax return information to News Organization 2, which published over 50 articles using the stolen data. Littlejohn then obstructed the forthcoming investigation into his conduct by deleting and destroying evidence of his disclosures,” the DOJ previously said.

We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.Romans 13 Submission to Governing Authorities13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.2 Peter 3:11-1811 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Today's Headlines: The Wall Street Journal reported that a whistleblower complaint about Tulsi Gabbard is considered so sensitive it's been locked away by an inspector general for eight months due to concerns it could cause “grave damage to national security,” even as Gabbard has remained in her role. The report landed just days after her unusual involvement in an FBI raid on a Georgia election office, which the New York Times says included a phone call where Trump spoke directly with agents on speakerphone. Elsewhere, DHS announced ICE officers in Minneapolis will begin wearing body cameras, as reports surfaced of a measles outbreak at an ICE detention center in Texas holding hundreds of children. Meanwhile, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify behind closed doors before House investigators about Jeffrey Epstein, narrowly avoiding contempt charges. Trump generated headlines of his own after plans for a massive “Independence Arch” in Washington were revealed, followed by threats to sue Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah over Epstein jokes.

This week on 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we're doing something a little different. Due to a winter storm hitting Texas and throwing off recording schedules, Ana hops on the mic for a special solo Swiftie Q&A episode—and it ended up feeling like a warm, one-on-one check-in with the community. After opening up questions on Instagram, Ana answers everything from which Taylor Swift album she'd relive for the first time, to top five albums right now, to which songs she skips (yes, it depends on the mood). She reflects on the magic of hearing Midnights for the first time, revisits beloved eras like Red, Speak Now, and 1989, and shares why The Tortured Poets Department continues to hit differently now that we're stepping into the Showgirl era. Ana also dives into: What newer Swifties may have missed pre-folklore Dream Taylor Swift music videos that never happened Songs she'd love to break down again Favorite non-Taylor artists she's listening to right now Whether live events are coming back (Swifties in the City fans, take note!) This solo bonus is equal parts Swiftie nostalgia, thoughtful reflection, and emotional connection, and it sets the stage perfectly for what's coming next as 13 begins its deep dive into The Life of a Showgirl, starting with Fate of Ophelia. Grab your cardigans, get cozy, and hang out with us—because even when plans change, the Swiftie community always shows up.  Stay warm, take care of yourselves, and we'll see you next week.

In Anchorage, Alaska, 18-year-old Samantha Koenig is abducted while working at a coffee stand, sending panic through the city. Police initially struggle to find a solid lead – until the kidnapper delivers a ransom note. Following the trail down to Texas, FBI agents finally catch up with the suspect – a man called Israel Keyes. But he claims to know nothing about the girl's disappearance. Speaking with witnesses and detectives, Dr. Michelle Ward explores the search for Samantha – and investigates how this crime differs from the typical Israel Keyes MO. Hosted on Acast.

Creature Feature: Vol 6 | Paranormal Podcast *This is volume 6...I need you to promise me that you'll ignore all the times I say *5* in this episode* In Creature Feature Volume 6, we dive into four unsettling listener submissions, starting with Cecil from Texas, who was letting his dogs out around 10pm when he noticed something watching him over the fence—at first he thought it was his neighbor's birdhouse, but this canine-shaped thing with a disturbing smile disappeared the next night even though the birdhouse remained. We then hear from Jasmine in North Carolina, who drove 30 minutes outside her college town with her boyfriend Jake to stargaze in a remote area with only 600 people, but their romantic night turned terrifying when they heard bipedal footsteps pacing along the treeline in the darkness, stalking them until Jake shone his flashlight and told Jasmine to calmly walk back to the car—a experience so disturbing that Jake refused to ever speak about it again, leaving us wondering what he actually saw. Julia's story takes us to Washington state in 2017, where an argument with her sister led her to take a late-afternoon hike on the Cascade trails, only to experience complete silence in the forest followed by heavy breathing from something tall and dark that moved with unnatural fluidity and eventually revealed itself as a massive 7-foot-tall creature covered in dark matted hair that hunted her through the woods, forcing her to sprint back to her car. Finally, we explore Zachary's multiple encounters on his rural southwest Ohio property near the Indiana border, where late-night experiences included walking directly into an invisible entity so solid it knocked him to the ground, witnessing a bright neon green mass shoot from the sky into a cornfield, and spotting what appeared to be a silverback gorilla-like creature with long thick hair standing perfectly still against a tree—encounters that left both him and his wife too terrified to go outside at night.

Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Shaboozey and a Grammy Tsunami Slams ICE and Trump. Danish Veterans March Against Trump. Groundhog Day is VERY 2026. Super Bowl Week Begins.Girl Scout Cookies! This Groundhog Day 2026,Paul emerges from the cold of the weekend like the Puxatawny Phil of news in an episode 431 to barrel into the start of February and off a freezing trip to Philly that reflects a growing, nationwide fury at ICE's abuses. He lays out why he believes ICE's culture is rotten to the core, details ProPublica's naming of the federal agents involved in the killing of Alex Pretti, and explains how expanding warrantless raids from Minnesota to Utah are shredding the Constitution in real time. Paul connects this crackdown to Trump's escalating war on protest and the press, where peaceful protesters are smeared as “domestic terrorists” and “communist insurrectionists” to justify possible use of the Insurrection Act and even active-duty troops against American citizens.​ The episode also hits Trump's broader assault on the free press, from reports of gagged MAGA-friendly media to relentless attacks on ProPublica, NPR, Jimmy Kimmel, and others, while Paul shares a chilling example of violent threats he receives on Elon Musk's X for speaking out.  Abroad, he highlights thousands of Danish veterans marching against Trump in Copenhagen over his disrespect for NATO, Iran's brutal execution of former soccer star Mojtaba Tarshid after protests, the fragile ceasefire and reopened Rafah crossing, and Ukrainians fighting to keep a 51-year-old gorilla named Tony warm amid freezing Russian attacks. Back home, Paul spotlights a political shocker in Texas, where Democrat and Air Force veteran Taylor Remit flipped a deep-red congressional district that Trump carried by 17 points, powered by independents and disaffected Republicans. He uses the upset to explain how independents are surging and are now the decisive needle in American politics, previews a virtual town hall with Open Primaries and independent veteran Senate candidates Ty Pickens and Todd Achilles, and weaves in culture and sports—from the Grammys' anti-ICE tipping point and Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show to Seahawks–Patriots, Knicks magic, and OKC's rise—and closing as always with “Something Good good”. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

Texas has found itself in the spotlight over the past few days, and for pretty interesting reasons at that. First, we saw a Texas special election that flipped a deeply Republican district at the state level. In a seat Donald Trump carried by roughly 17 points, Democrats managed to pull off a low-turnout win. This was not a wave election, and pretending otherwise does not help anyone. Special elections are weird, electorates are tiny, and turnout models collapse. But the direction still matters.However, Republicans continue to rely on a coalition that is extremely Trump-centric. When he is not on the ballot, participation drops, especially among lower-propensity voters. Democrats, by contrast, have been showing up consistently in off-cycle contests. While that does not guarantee success in a general election year, it is enough to justify early anxiety. If Republicans cannot reliably mobilize their voters without Trump himself, Texas becomes less static than it has been for decades.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Instead, the Texas Democratic Senate primary is rapidly becoming a cautionary tale. Senator John Cornyn's seat is up, Ken Paxton is leading on the Republican side, and Democrats should be salivating. Paxton is polarizing, ethically radioactive, and deeply divisive. In theory, this is the opening Democrats have been waiting for.In practice, the primary is turning ugly. James Talarico, a rising star with genuine crossover appeal, now finds himself in a five-alarm crisis after a viral allegation that he described Colin Allred as a “mediocre Black man” while expecting to face him in the race. The context, the intent, and the precise wording are now almost secondary. What matters is that the damage landed squarely where a Texas Democrat cannot afford it: trust with Black voters.Colin Allred's response was not subtle. He went directly at Talarico, endorsed Jasmine Crockett, and framed the controversy as a racial and moral failing, not a messaging mistake. Talarico's apology attempted to split the difference, acknowledging poor phrasing without directly calling the accuser a liar. That move may have been legally cautious, but politically it validated the outrage. With the primary weeks away and a runoff likely, Democrats are now locked into a prolonged intraparty fight that makes the eventual nominee weaker, not stronger.Zooming out, this is why Texas continues to torment Democrats. Structural conditions occasionally line up. Republican candidates overreach. Demographic change inches forward. But the moment opportunity appears, the coalition turns inward. Instead of clearing the field and running a disciplined campaign against Ken Paxton, Democrats are now litigating identity, intent, and trust in public.The tragedy here is not ideological. It is tactical. Texas Democrats do not need a perfect candidate. They need a boring one who does not give voters a reason to hesitate. Every additional week spent tearing down a potential nominee is a week Paxton gets for free. If Democrats manage to lose this race, it will not be because Texas is unwinnable. It will be because they couldn't get out of their own way.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:37 - Drama in Texas00:18:02 - Michael Cohen on Texas, Midterms, and More00:38:36 - Update00:38:52 - Clintons00:41:00 - Shutdown00:43:15 - Republicans' House Margin00:44:22 - Michael Cohen on Texas, Midterms, and More, con't01:19:52 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.
