Part 1:
We talk with Joe Jaworski, the son of Leon Jaworski, Joe was the former Mayor of Galveston TX, he ran for AG in 2022 lost in the democratic runoff.
We discuss Texas politics, and specifically, the actions of the current AG, Ken Paxton. Paxton has been attacking fellow Republicans in Texas who have not bowed to his wishes. and who do not agree about who should lead the Texas House. Currently, Texas is a dangerous place to live for both citizens and immigrants. This is due to the draconian laws that have been passed recently, and also to the impending problems that will occur if many undocumented workers are deported: They pay taxes locally, and many cities and counties will lose that income. Additionally, many people are being sued or sent to prison as a result of new regulations and laws being implemented.
Part 2:
We talk with Harold Meyerson and Bill Curry.
Bill Curry was a Connecticut state senator, comptroller and two time Democratic nominee for governor who served as Counselor to the President in the Clinton White House. He has written for Salon, the Daily Beast, the HuffingtonPost and the HartfordCourant and has provided commentary on National Public Radio, MSNBC and many other news outlets.
Harold MeyersonSince 2001, Harold Meyerson has been an editor of The American Prospect, the Washington-based liberal magazine, oscillating between the positions of Editor at Large and Executive Editor (his current post).
We discuss the California fires and Trump's response to the disasters. We also discuss the new reality: truth no longer matters, only the misinformation that is promulgated by Republicans. We also discuss what Democrats should be doing to mitigate this problem. There seems to be a vanishing Democratic resistance to Trump.
