## Resource

The fellas break down the Republican fight for the Senate majority after Ken Paxton’s massive Texas primary win, exposing the Democrats’ growing “normal guy” problem as James Talarico’s old woke clips come back to haunt the party. Plus: RFK Jr. battles snakes with his bare hands, a “strip club veteran” becomes a courtroom legend, and AFP’s Katelyn Bledsoe joins the Progrum to talk affordability, housing, healthcare, and why Republicans need a real economic message heading into 2026. #RuthlessPodcast #KenPaxton #TexasPolitics #2026Midterms #JamesTalarico #RFKJr #AFP #RepublicanParty #PoliticalPodcast #Election2026 Learn more about your ad choices.
