Paxton Trumps Cornyn, Battles Talarico Next
About this episode
Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s decisive victory over Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate runoff, the impending resignation of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing allegations of flouting election laws, and growing concern over the re-emergence of Ebola.
First, they break down Ken Paxton’s commanding win in the Texas Republican Senate runoff and preview his upcoming general election showdown with far-left state Rep. James Talarico. They also discuss the Texas congressional runoff results, where two high-profile Democrats were ousted by their own party.
Next, Jim and Greg discuss reports that DNI Tulsi Gabbard will soon step down as she helps her husband battle a rare form of bone cancer. They wish the family well in the very tough fight ahead. Jim also explains why he initially viewed Gabbard as an odd choice to lead U.S. intelligence, but why his respect for her increased in recent months.
Then, they react to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass holding a campaign event next to a ballot drop box while supporters submitted ballots during the event. Challenger Spencer Pratt has filed a complaint alleging Bass violated election laws. Jim and Greg explain why ballot drop boxes are a horrible idea and how candidates just don't seem to care if they are breaking election laws.
Finally, as international concern grows over the latest Ebola outbreak, Jim recounts some Ebola concerns he had returning from Europe.
