Summary

In this episode, guest host Ben Whedon sits down with Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne from Texas to discuss the recent redistricting in her state and its implications for the upcoming elections. As Texas adds Republican-leaning seats, we explore the shifting political landscape, the impact of new residents from blue states, and the importance of policies that resonate with Texans. The conversation also delves into Congress's challenges regarding spending, tariffs, and the path forward for the Republican Party. Also, Ben engages in a thought-provoking discussion with former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates, currently with the Heritage Foundation. We analyze the escalating conflict in Gaza, the implications of Israel's ground offensive, and the complexities surrounding the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. Victoria shares insights on the challenges of negotiating peace with Hamas, the shifting public opinion regarding Israel, and the potential for a diplomatic resolution.

0:16.1	He'll be back tomorrow, and we look forward to him returning to his regular duties, both on the podcast

1:28.3	they're expected to bring in as many as five seats leaning towards Republicans. Let's start with how that's going
1:33.9	to affect your district because right now you're north of your straddling sort of Dallas and the
