About this Episode
James Talarico called capitalism one of three "oppressive systems." Now his Texas Senate campaign says he's a "proud capitalist."
In this episode, I play the 2020 climate forum where he talked about "dismantling" those systems and compared Texas oil and gas to "cassette tapes in the 1980s." I walk through his record on Texas's 2021 election law and on parents and gender identity, and his campaign's claim that he "missed the mark."
I ask why a Trail Blazers broadcaster loses his job over posts from his teens while politicians get a pass, and how Abigail Spanberger ran the same moderate bait and switch in Virginia. Texas votes November 3. Believe what the record shows.
