Okay, sometimes we have a guest on the show who is relevant to the news in a thousand different ways,

in the news that's happening this very day. And tonight is definitely one of those nights,

because Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is going to join me live in just a moment. She is, of course,

running in a hotly contested primary in Texas to be the Democratic nominee for Senate.

And today is the first day of early voting in Texas for that race.

If you were in Texas, today is the first day.

Now, both she and her Democratic primary rival, James Tellerico,

are nipping at the heels of their would-be Republican opponents in the polls,

so uncomfortably that a lot of people

are paying attention to this race from the Republican side. And now, James Tala Rico is also at the

center of a new censorship controversy after CBS polled his interview on Stephen Colbert's show

just before it was supposed to air. The network, and this part is just something, laughable,

is one way to describe it, is somehow trying to shift the blame for that decision to Congressman

Crocket herself. And let's just say I'm very much looking forward to getting her reaction to that,

as I'm sure you are. Congressman Crockett will also be joining me from Ohio, where she and other members of the

House Oversight Committee are going to be deposing disgraced billionaire Les Wexner, who is a central

figure in the Epstein files, and that's set to take place tomorrow. So yes, there is a ton, a load of

stuff to talk to the congresswoman about. Before we get there, I just want to start tonight with the Trump administration's attempt

to silence and intimidate their critics.

Because every day, and today was certainly one of those days, we get more and more evidence

that those efforts are backfiring spectacularly.

They're trying really hard. It's not really working.
