    Talarico’s Record RESURFACES as Paxton Race Tightens | Trump Goes All-In on AI

    The Texas Senate battle between Ken Paxton and James Talarico intensifies with roughly 50 days remaining before the 2026 midterm elections — and another piece of Talarico’s legislative record is generating controversy. Chris X plays past comments from James Talarico discussing whether parents who refuse to acknowledge a child’s gender identity could be considered abusive, then examines the larger fight over parental rights, transgender policy involving minors and women’s sports. Jonathan Covey, Director of Texas Public Policy for Texas Values, joins Chris to preview Texas Faith Fest and discuss religious liberty, parental rights, abortion policy, education and protections for women and children. Covey also previews keynote speaker Congressman Brandon Gill and discusses former San Jose State volleyball player Brooke Slusser, Judge Dianne Hensley, Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton, Dr. Tom Oliverson and other speakers scheduled for the Texas Faith Fest event in Cedar Park. Then the conversation turns national. President Donald Trump pushes back against warnings from leading AI executives who say rapidly advancing artificial intelligence could create catastrophic risks. Trump’s message is simple: whoever wins the AI race wins — and America cannot afford to surrender its technological advantage. Chris also plays an extended Bill Maher monologue reflecting on 25 years since September 11, terrorism, radical Islam, Israel, Gaza and the rise of antisemitism. Plus: rising oil and gasoline prices, the political consequences for Republicans heading into November, the one-year memorial of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and an important Gulf Coast health warning as red tide reaches the Bolivar Peninsula. CHAPTERS — Approximate 00:00 Manic Monday — 50 days until the midterms 07:30 Paxton vs. Talarico & Republican ad spending 12:35 Talarico, parental rights & transgender children 25:00 Gas prices, Iran & GOP midterm concerns 32:15 Jonathan Covey joins Chris X 34:25 Brandon Gill, abortion & Texas Faith Fest 40:35 Brooke Slusser & women’s sports 56:25 Trump rejects calls to slow AI development 1:11:30 Bill Maher on 9/11, terrorism, Israel & Gaza 1:54:10 Red tide warning for Bolivar Peninsula Subscribe for Texas politics, national news, 2026 midterm coverage, culture, faith, free speech and conservative talk on Chris X Radio — KSEV, The Voice of Texas.  #KenPaxton #JamesTalarico #DonaldTrump #AI #TexasPolitics #TexasSenate #Israel #RedTide #KSEV 🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.

    Trump Promises $5,000 Checks | Paxton–Talarico WAR & Charlie Kirk One Year Later

    President Donald Trump drops one of the biggest promises of the 2026 midterms: a proposed $5,000 “Trump Dividend” for adult Americans if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate. Chris X breaks down Trump’s Dallas Republican Midterm Convention speech, the proposed tariff-funded payments, the growing national debt debate, and whether Congress could actually approve $5,000 checks for millions of Americans. The Texas Senate race also heats up as Trump throws his support behind Ken Paxton and unloads on Democratic nominee James Talarico. Chris examines the fight over Talarico’s record, his position on transgender athletes in girls’ sports, and the millions of dollars pouring into one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country. Plus, Congressman Brandon Gill delivers a viral “land acknowledgment” speech at the Dallas convention, flipping the script on one of the left’s most recognizable cultural traditions. Chris also reflects on the one-year memorial of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the impact his assassination has had on the conservative movement. Then the show takes a completely different turn with the Chris X-Files: end-of-life visions, terminal lucidity, dementia patients suddenly regaining clarity, and reports of dying people seeing deceased loved ones shortly before death. Also discussed: tariffs and China, the U.S. national debt, Alaska-style dividend payments, classic television nostalgia, I Love Lucy, Hazel, All in the Family, Coach, Frasier and the changing entertainment landscape. CHAPTERS — Approximate 00:00 Chris X Radio — Friday Show on Thursday 08:45 Trump’s Dallas GOP Convention speech 18:45 Trump backs Ken Paxton 30:50 Trump unloads on James Talarico 34:30 Trump promises $5,000 dividend checks 44:00 Tariffs, China & the national debt debate 54:45 Alaska’s dividend model & Trump’s proposal 1:07:30 Talarico and transgender athletes in girls’ sports 1:11:45 Brandon Gill’s viral “land acknowledgment” 1:13:00 Charlie Kirk — one year later 1:32:00 Chris X-Files: end-of-life visions & terminal lucidity Subscribe for Texas politics, national news, 2026 midterm coverage, conservative talk, culture, commentary and the biggest stories driving the political conversation on Chris X Radio — KSEV, The Voice of Texas. #DonaldTrump #KenPaxton #JamesTalarico #TrumpDividend #CharlieKirk #TexasPolitics #Midterms #KSEV 🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.

    Trump RALLIES Texas as Paxton–Talarico Explodes | AI Could “Kill Us All” & Oil Tops $100

    President Donald Trump takes center stage at the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas as the battle for control of Congress — and the increasingly competitive Texas Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico — heats up. Matt Locke of WBAP joins Chris X LIVE from the Dallas convention with an inside look at the crowd, security, more than 160 scheduled speakers and the Trump-rally atmosphere surrounding the GOP's push toward the 2026 midterm elections. The Texas Senate fight is also entering a new phase. Chris and Matt discuss Republican money moving behind Ken Paxton, Trump-aligned campaign spending, Elon Musk's America PAC and James Talarico's effort to appeal to moderate Texas voters. Chris also plays Talarico's latest comments on transgender athletes competing in girls' sports and compares them with his previous legislative positions as women's sports becomes a major issue in Republican campaign advertising. Then the conversation shifts to one of the biggest technology stories in America: researchers connected to Anthropic warning that increasingly powerful artificial intelligence could potentially cause catastrophic — even extinction-level — consequences. Chris asks whether AI really could become a real-world version of Skynet and why Generation X seems far less worried about it. Plus, oil surges above $100 per barrel as fighting between the United States and Iran intensifies around the Strait of Hormuz, raising new concerns about gasoline prices and the political consequences heading into November. Also on the show: Hunter Biden launches a new $LAPTOP meme cryptocurrency that reportedly crashes approximately 98% shortly after launch, Ron Reeder joins Chris for a rare cross-partisan conversation about free speech and media bias, and Harris County callers debate toll roads, taxes and government spending.

    Talarico’s Record EXPOSED | Trump $1 Coin, Paxton Senate Fight & Texas Killing Fields Justice

    James Talarico’s past positions are back under the microscope as the Texas U.S. Senate race against Ken Paxton becomes one of the most important political battles of the 2026 midterms.  ChrisX digs into Talarico’s comments on voter ID and poll watchers, his past rhetoric connecting capitalism with systems of oppression, his abortion-policy proposals after Roe v. Wade, and the continuing fight over transgender policy involving minors and school sports. Meanwhile, the Paxton–Talarico race is attracting major national money as Republicans fight to hold a Texas Senate seat that has suddenly become competitive. Then President Donald Trump makes history on U.S. currency with the release of the new 2026 Trump $1 coin celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. Chris breaks down the coin, the pricing and one obvious question: why does $25 worth of dollar coins cost $61? The show also turns to a major Houston true-crime story as James Elmore Jr. receives the maximum 20-year sentence in connection with the 1984 death of Laura Miller in the infamous Texas Killing Fields. Chris reveals his personal connection to the story after previously interning for Laura’s sister, Wendy Miller.

    CNN EXPOSES Talarico’s “Dismantle Capitalism” Past | Trump STRIKES Iran & Texas Faith Fight

    James Talarico’s past comments are back in the spotlight after CNN aired resurfaced video of the Texas Senate candidate calling capitalism an “oppressive system” and discussing the need to dismantle systems involving capitalism, white supremacy and climate change. Chris X breaks down the explosive clip, Talarico’s comments comparing Texas oil and gas to cassette tapes, and what it means for his increasingly competitive U.S. Senate race against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Featured guest Jonathan Saenz, President of Texas Values, joins Chris for an in-depth conversation about the fight over faith, family, religious liberty, education and women’s sports in Texas. Saenz also previews the upcoming Texas Faith Fest featuring Congressman Brandon Gill, State Senator Mayes Middleton, Rep. Tom Oliverson, Julie Pickren, Brooke Slusser and other conservative leaders. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump ramps up military pressure against Iran after renewed fighting around the Strait of Hormuz — and even floats a new name for the strategic waterway: the “Trump Strait.” Plus, the House votes on a resolution condemning socialism, Republicans push a constitutional amendment to permanently keep the Supreme Court at nine justices, and new Texas polling shows just how close the 2026 midterms could become. 🔥 CHAPTERS — Approximate 00:00 Chris X Radio — Hump Day 03:30 Tropical Storm Edward aftermath 07:00 Jonathan Saenz & Texas Values preview 11:30 Trump floats “Trump Strait” 16:00 James Talarico’s political record 20:30 CNN digs into Talarico’s past comments 25:00 Jonathan Saenz joins Chris X 27:00 What Texas Values fights for 31:30 Faith, family & religious liberty in Texas 35:30 Texas Faith Fest 2026 39:30 Brandon Gill takes on Washington 43:30 Women’s sports & Brooke Slusser 47:30 Tom Oliverson and transgender policy involving minors 52:00 Education battles & Texas schools 56:00 How Texans can get involved 59:00 Hour 2 begins 1:04:00 CNN exposes Talarico’s “oppressive capitalism” remarks 1:10:00 Talarico compares Texas oil to cassette tapes 1:16:00 Ken Paxton vs. James Talarico 1:24:00 New Texas Senate polling 1:31:00 House votes to condemn socialism 1:39:00 Democrats and the SAVE Act 1:45:00 GOP moves to stop Supreme Court packing 1:52:00 Trump, Iran & Strait of Hormuz 1:58:00 Final thoughts Subscribe for Texas politics, conservative news, faith and family issues, Houston talk radio and breaking national stories on Chris X Radio — KSEV, The Voice of Texas.  🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.

    Trump STRIKES Iran Again | DHS Voter Fraud Probe & Talarico’s “Dismantle Capitalism” Bombshell

    President Donald Trump orders new strikes against Iranian IRGC targets as tensions explode again around the Strait of Hormuz — and Chris X breaks down what it means for U.S. forces, global oil markets and American gas prices. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security launches a sweeping voter-fraud investigation across nine states ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Chris examines what federal investigators are looking for, why election integrity is back at the center of the national debate, and how 2024 election monitoring differed from 2020. Then the Texas Senate race heats up again as resurfaced video shows James Talarico describing capitalism as an “oppressive system” that should be dismantled. Chris also reacts to Talarico campaigning for higher taxes, Mark Cuban’s endorsement, Ken Paxton’s growing advertising push and John Cornyn’s refusal to campaign for the Republican nominee.  Plus: Tropical Storm Edward makes landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border, the U.S.-Venezuela oil deal could reshape energy prices, and callers weigh in on election security, Texas politics and the battle for control of the U.S. Senate. 🔥 CHAPTERS — Approximate 00:00 Chris X Radio — Taco Tuesday  03:00 Tropical Storm Edward makes landfall 09:00 Houston flooding and Southeast Texas forecast 15:00 U.S. launches new strikes against Iran 20:00 IRGC, Strait of Hormuz & commercial shipping 26:00 Venezuela oil deal and possible gas-price impact 32:00 DHS voter-fraud investigations in nine states 39:00 Election security: 2020 vs. 2024 47:00 James Talarico campaigns on higher taxes 53:00 Mark Cuban backs Talarico 58:00 Hour 2 begins 1:04:00 DHS election investigation deep dive 1:13:00 Talarico: capitalism is an “oppressive system” 1:20:00 “Dismantling capitalism” audio reaction 1:27:00 Ken Paxton vs. James Talarico 1:34:00 John Cornyn refuses to help Paxton 1:41:00 Caller debate over voting machines and election fraud 1:49:00 Tropical Storm Edward final update 1:54:00 Why every vote matters 1:58:00 Taco Tuesday wrap-up Subscribe for Texas politics, election news, Houston weather, conservative talk and breaking national stories on Chris X Radio — KSEV, The Voice of Texas.  #DonaldTrump #Iran #JamesTalarico #KenPaxton #ElectionIntegrity #TexasPolitics #KSEV 🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.
