Hey folks,
We’re digging into leaked audio from Ken Paxton, his comments about Donald Trump, and what the growing Republican infighting could mean for the Texas Senate race.
There’s a lot happening here — Trump, Paxton, John Cornyn, James Talarico, super PAC money, and a Republican coalition that sounds a whole lot less united behind closed doors.
[00:01:09] Fox News confronts Paxton with a long list of past legal and political controversies — and we break down his reponse.
[00:03:04] A leaked audio takes center stage as Paxton discusses Trump’s convention and what happened to his numbers afterward.
[00:05:16] Paxton talks openly about the importance of super PACs, setting up a bigger conversation about the outside money pouring into Texas.
[00:07:34] We get into the enormous spending Republicans are reportedly directing toward the race and why Paxton’s private comments about Trump matter politically.
[00:09:57] Why John Cornyn isn’t helping Paxton after losing the primary — and we unpack his warning about what happens when parties nominate candidates their own voters struggle to support.
This episode is really about more than one leaked recording. It’s about loyalty, money, candidate quality, and the tensions inside the Republican Party as Texas becomes a major political battleground. If you value conversations that dig beneath the campaign messaging and show you what these political fights actually look like, help me keep them going.
