Summary
Trump's endorsement just toppled a sitting U.S. senator in Texas as Ken Paxton defeated John Cornyn despite the RINO establishment pouring $100 million into stopping him. This is the second time Trump has successfully removed a sitting senator, and the message to Washington is unmistakable.
Lance Wallnau breaks down exactly what happened in the Texas primary, why the MAGA base showed up with such force, and why establishment Republicans are in full panic mode. But there's a critical warning underneath the celebration: the Hispanic vote is down 25%, and if that gap isn't closed before the midterms, the energy from this primary win may not be enough to hold the general. Lance also calls out the woke progressive "evangelical" being positioned to run against Paxton in the general, explains why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens have no real power over this movement, and makes the case that Texas is now the hinge state for the entire nation.

| 0:00.0 | Well, you know, it's midnight here in Texas. |
| 0:03.0 | It seems like a perfect time to do a broadcast. |
| 0:06.0 | So for all the insomnia people, or for the people that are tomorrow morning going to watch this, |
| 0:12.0 | we have these results in Texas, which I think are really important, |
| 0:16.0 | because this is the second time a sitting U.S. senator has been uprooted because of the strength |
| 0:24.1 | of Trump's influence. |
| 0:26.2 | It's clear that Trump's endorsement, Ken Paxton, is what pushed him over the top. |
| 0:31.9 | And it's a significant defeat for John Cornyn. |
| 0:34.8 | Now, you know, we were watching with amazement as John Thune and Mitch McConnell's |
| 0:41.8 | Senate budget put $100 million into trying to defeat Ken Paxton. You know, you need that money |
| 0:50.8 | in like four other critical races where the Senate is going to be coming up |
| 0:56.1 | in the midterbs. But now they put that money into just keeping their buddy John Cornyn |
| 1:03.0 | in, which shows you how tight the Senate rhinos are, that they don't want to break their grip, |
| 1:09.9 | their margin of influence, the couple of seats they've got. |
| 1:14.4 | And Trump just basically mobilized the base. |
| 1:17.5 | And it's literally a populist revolt against the rhino establishment. |
| 1:22.6 | And it's freaking out the left because they can't believe that Trump has the ability to do that. |
| 1:29.3 | But then again, I want you to understand their psychology right now. |
| 1:34.4 | Their attitude is that primaries tend to bring out your base, like, you know, the most radical fanatical of your base will go show up. They only have like, what is it, 600,000, 800,000 votes going |
| 1:49.9 | out there's amazing how little voting there is in primaries. It's like 10% of registered voters |
| 1:56.6 | vote. But the primaries are the key. That's where you pick who's going to run. Well, the base knows that. |
| 2:03.3 | Trump has mobilized a populist MAGA base. And like it or not, a good chunk of that, 40% of that |
