This is a quick rundown of the topics we’ll be covering on today’s show. You can hit play to listen, or read the transcript below if that’s more your style.

Transcript:

Republicans are suddenly terrified that they could lose Texas. Trump is jumping in. Ken Paxton won his primary, will face off against Talarico. The best they’ve got against Talarico is he’s vegan, even though he’s not vegan. And even if he were, who cares?

And then Donald Trump says he has a perfect bill of health. He had his third annual physical in 13 months yesterday, came out of Walter Reed hospital, and says it’s all perfect. When you are bragging about passing a physical, it starts to get a little bit weird.

We will also hear from an actual doctor weighing in on Trump’s behavior, Trump’s physical characteristics, his sleep, cognition, and why getting exams every, what, four and a half months is a little bit strange.

And then our friend Jessica Tarlov silences her Fox News co-hosts, whose brains are filled with mayonnaise, during a segment about Iran.

And then JD Vance reminds everybody he’s usually not the sharpest guy in the room, even when he’s the only guy in the room. We’ll have the videos, we’ll discuss.

All of that and more coming up today, if I have anything to say about it.
