Transcript:
Republicans are quietly panicking about something that was never supposed to happen. Texas could be in play. A brutal Republican primary between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton is turning the state into a battleground. If Republicans just have to spend money defending Texas from Democrats, that is a win.
Trump’s Epstein problems are getting worse. We’ve got new reporting and withheld DOJ materials that raise real questions about what on earth is going on and the political fallout is only getting started.
We’re also going to look into ICE quietly building up endless weapons supplies in warehouses. Why do they need it? And an ICE whistleblower, a former ICE agent, is alleging serious constitutional violations at ICE Academy, where the legal violations seem to be a feature, not a bug.
We’ve also got a Fox News panel moment where MAGA talking points collapse in real time.
Plus we will hear from you in our Friday Feedback segment.
