About this episode

The episode discusses the political battle in Texas following Ken Paxton's unseating of John Cornyn and features an interview with Democratic candidate James Talerico.

Ken Paxton unseated John Cornyn in Texas, and now the battle lines have been drawn. The DEM candidate James Talerico is running with the very powerful affordability message. This is great message, but it's only about one inch deep from DEMS. I don't think anybody really believes that they will do anything about affordability. I certainly DO NOT!
