Summary

We here on the Find Out Podcast are a big fans of Democrats winning elections and we couldn't be happier with this week's news that Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX), who was endorsed by Trump, won his runoff election, unseating the incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) as the Republican nominee. Why are we excited about this? Because Paxton, who has been impeached by the Republican Super Majority in the Texas state legislature for embezzlement, busted for an extramarital affair and is generally hated by Cornyn voters and his fellow Texas Republicans, this creates an excellent opportunity for State Rep. James Talarico (D-TX) to finally flip Texas Blue. The last time Texas Democrats came close to flipping this seat was in 2018 when U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) narrowly defeated Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) by 2.6%. On this episode, we'll make the case for why someone like Paxton is worse than Cruz. Talarico's ability to communicate effectively with religious Christian voters, coupled with Hispanic and Latino voters turning on Trump in large numbers, makes this a must watch race that could help the Democrats win the U.S. Senate this year.  We'll also discuss why conviction is the best weapon for Democrats to counter Republican messaging when pitching massive changes like universal health care. We also enjoyed watching Chelsea Handler and Pete Davidson destroy Tony Hinchcliffe at the Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart. We also crack down on corporations using investments in AI data centers to justify mass layoffs but those investments haven't been paying off. Also, we'll highlight how the tech billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want cheaper workers while J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller want more white workers.

Ken Paxton completely obliterated John Cornyn in the runoff there by it looks like

0:33.1

it was a 63.8% to 32.

0:40.3

Yeah, fucking brutal. And he was the sitting senator and he is now gone. So, guys, I have to

0:46.7

think that James Talariko has a giant shit-eating grin on his face this morning that he

0:53.0

gets to face Ken Paxton instead of John Cornyn. Yeah, I think that's probably true. I mean, he was winning against both of these guys in the polls. So I think for him, it was probably the lesser of two evils, though. You know, it's Ken Paxton's the giant, slimy piece of shit. You know, it's that, I was thinking about, I'm making a video this morning about this and like,

1:14.8

that works for Trump really well for some reason, but like nobody else. So that's what I think it's like a huge win for Teller Rico. Yeah, I agree. Well, there was a, there was a,

1:20.1

this, I'll be interested to get your takes on this because some people lost their minds

1:23.3

over this, but Talarico put out a message last night basically saying

1:28.4

that there is a place for Cornyn voters

in his campaign.
