Your government tried to stop you from seeing this. On September 10th, the FCC threatened Jimmy Kimmel, his network, and even his local ABC stations for the crime of interviewing a candidate for the United States Senate. Kimmel refused to back down. He pulled the conversation off the public airwaves, moved it to YouTube, and sat down with Texas Senate candidate James Talerico anyway. Watch what happens when a candidate takes hard questions with no notes and no script, and ask yourself why anyone in Washington would want that hidden from you.
Talerico explains that Elon Musk and the president’s dark money super PAC have poured tens of millions of dollars into Texas because they are terrified of a campaign funded by working people chipping in a few dollars at a time. He describes what Jesus would say on the Senate floor to men who cut food assistance for the hungry, kicked the sick off Medicaid, deported the stranger and his family, and handed the savings to billionaires. He names the real welfare queens as the giant corporations that pay nothing in corporate taxes. He lays out how his opponent, Attorney General Ken Paxton, grew his net worth 7,000 percent on a $150,000 government salary, owns 15 homes in a state where most families struggle to afford one, was impeached by his own party for bribery, was reported to the FBI by his own staff, and stole a fellow lawyer’s thousand dollar pen at a courthouse metal detector. Every answer lands clear and calm. Give yourself permission to stop scrolling and watch the whole thing.
Now picture a country led by people like this. Picture leaders who read, who listen to the person in front of them, and who explain themselves in plain English because they know what they believe. Picture a Senate where a hard question gets a straight answer. Picture the world that follows, where the people writing the laws spend their energy lowering the price of groceries and healthcare because that is why they ran.
Talerico said people power beats voter suppression every time, and he is right. That is where you come in. Share this video with your family and your friends, the ones who vote and the ones who gave up years ago, because a conversation like this one changes minds in a way no ad ever will.

I just watched the video yesterday.
Brendan Carr is a reincarnated Joseph Goebbels (even if Steven Miller more closely resembles him physically) Minister of Propaganda. Kimmel offered to give Ken Paxton equal airtime on his show - but Paxton, a trained, if corrupt lawyer, is totally chicken-shitting out of debating Talarico.
I already knew Paxton was corrupt in every way as a lawyer and as a "husband," but yesterday was the first I learned that he is also a common thief. I donated to the Talarico campaign after watching that interview, and now I want a "Not Ken Paxton's Pen" pen LOL.
I had seen the interview. Love this guy. At times our politics diverge. Always, our love of country and wanting to make it better converge. Same with Senator Ossoff.
