    Talarico’s CNN Town Hall, Ilhan Omar Probe & Paxton Bus Tour

    The October 15 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 is a full “Friday Show on Thursday” featuring Texas election coverage, listener calls, campaign analysis, national political news and plenty of off-the-rails radio. Chris opens with a lighter discussion about Radiohead, The Hollies, Lana Del Rey and the movie Heretic before turning to the approaching Texas election. He reminds listeners that early voting begins Monday, October 19, and then moves into a preview of James Talarico’s CNN town hall. A major theme throughout the show is Talarico’s attempt to present himself as a moderate candidate. Chris argues that Talarico’s current campaign positions do not match his previous rhetoric, votes and public statements, and promises to break down several examples later in the show. Chris also discusses the announcement that the execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will not be livestreamed, although the execution remains scheduled for December 3. Another political story involves Rep. Ilhan Omar, as Chris reacts to reports of DOJ subpoenas involving relatives in an immigration-related investigation and questions surrounding family finances. These remain investigations and allegations, not findings of guilt. The show also covers Ken Paxton’s statewide “Come and Take It” bus tour as the Texas Senate campaign moves into its final stretch. Then the phones open up. Run-On Robert from Pearland delivers one of his signature extended calls, bouncing from the Lindsay Clancy case to Obama-era policy, drugs, comedy bits and Nidal Hasan. Later, David from California calls to argue that federal Medicaid changes are putting hospitals at risk of closure. Chris challenges David’s claims and sources, leading to a heated back-and-forth over Medicaid and the health-care system. Hour 2 gets even more unusual as Chris plays an Alex Jones “goblin demons” clip, jokes with Cash, and then tells personal stories about growing up in the Houston area, his unusually vivid childhood memories, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and how his father handled responsibility and trust. The show’s final major political segment returns to James Talarico’s CNN town hall, with Chris going issue-by-issue through Talarico’s statements on oil and gas, immigration, ICE, campaign money, Ukraine, Iran, gender policy and voter ID.  Chapters 00:00 News: Starlink, Nidal Hasan & suspicious election packages 06:32 Friday Show on Thursday begins 09:05 Radiohead, The Hollies & Heretic 15:57 Early voting countdown 17:08 Talarico CNN town hall preview 17:29 Nidal Hasan & Ilhan Omar investigations 18:54 Ken Paxton statewide bus tour 25:00 Run-On Robert joins the show 33:00 “John Miller” calls the hotline 42:07 Midterm politics & Democrat messaging 46:28 Talarico’s moderate image questioned 52:34 Caller Mark & Talarico jokes 55:03 David from California debates hospital closures 1:07:11 Hour 2 opens 1:20:47 Talarico, gender politics & early voting 1:27:23 Alex Jones “goblin demons” 1:30:12 Chris on childhood, memory & his father 1:40:54 Final hour setup 1:42:59 Talarico CNN town hall breakdown 1:53:49 Final segment & early-voting reminder Chris X Radio | KSEV AM 700 | The Voice of Texas#ChrisXRadio #JamesTalarico #KenPaxton #IlhanOmar #TexasPolitics #KSEV #TexasSenateTopic 🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.

    Dr. Tom Oliverson: What Talarico Really Fought for in the Texas House | Chris X Radio

    The October 14 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 covers the tightening Texas U.S. Senate race, James Talarico’s legislative record, Buffalo Bayou deaths, the Houston Astros managerial change, Sugar Land’s feral-hog problem and a featured interview with Texas State Representative Dr. Tom Oliverson. Chris opens with new polling he says shows Ken Paxton narrowly ahead of James Talarico in the Texas Senate race. He argues that late campaign spending is beginning to shift the race and again raises questions about Talarico’s recent absence from public campaigning. Closer to Houston, Chris discusses another body discovered in Buffalo Bayou, the second in two days, before joking again about his running “vampire colony” explanation. The program also covers the Houston Astros parting ways with manager Joe Espada following an 81–81 season and Wild Card elimination, plus Sugar Land’s new feral-hog mitigation pilot program designed to assess damage and identify priority areas. At approximately 34:45, Dr. Tom Oliverson joins Chris X. Oliverson begins by discussing a recent trip to Israel with a delegation of American state lawmakers. He says the group toured Judea and Samaria and explains why he wants Texas government agencies to use those terms rather than “West Bank” in official state language. The interview then turns sharply toward James Talarico’s Texas House record. Oliverson recounts debating Talarico over legislation restricting medical and surgical gender-transition interventions for minors. He says Talarico backed an amendment that would have permitted treatments to continue when doctors and parents agreed they were in a child’s best interest, and argues that the amendment would have substantially weakened the legislation. Oliverson also disputes Talarico’s current portrayal as a moderate candidate and challenges the amount of credit Talarico claims for legislation capping insulin costs. Those statements reflect Oliverson’s own assessment of his former legislative colleague and the history of those bills. The final portion of the interview looks toward the next Texas legislative session. Oliverson describes a proposal aimed at lowering homeowners-insurance premiums by encouraging stronger construction standards designed to reduce hurricane, hail and wind damage. He also discusses tax-exempt hospital systems, saying hospitals receiving major property-tax exemptions should be held accountable for providing charity care to qualifying patients rather than sending those patients into collections. Hour 2 returns to Paxton–Talarico polling, media coverage of the election, reports surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar and a caller-driven health-care discussion before Chris closes with more campaign talk and an Angela Paxton political ad.

    Talarico M.I.A. Questions, Ilhan Omar Investigation & Dave Bennett Joins Chris X

    The October 13 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 covers Texas election season, questions surrounding James Talarico’s recent absence from public events, reports involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, the demolition of Houston’s former Greenspoint Mall, early voting and a featured interview with Texas House District 149 candidate Dave Bennett. Chris opens the show with a reminder that early voting begins October 19, then previews several major stories and introduces Dave Bennett as the day’s featured guest. One of the first viral moments comes from an interview clip featuring Jamie West, a Democratic candidate for local office in Indiana. Chris plays West’s contentious comments about Republicans and uses the exchange to discuss the increasingly hostile tone of modern politics. Closer to home, Chris discusses another body discovered in Buffalo Bayou and jokingly revives his ongoing “Houston vampire colony” theory before moving into Texas politics. A major storyline throughout the episode is James Talarico’s recent absence from public campaigning. Chris recounts canceled appearances, inconsistent explanations he says were given about where Talarico received treatment for the flu, and online claims that Talarico had instead been at the Lindner Center of Hope in Ohio. The Talarico campaign, according to the transcript, denied that claim and said he had been home in Austin recovering from the flu. The show presents significant speculation around the issue, but the transcript itself does not establish that Talarico received treatment at that facility. Chris also discusses reports involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, including a federal search of her Washington residence and questions surrounding financial disclosures attributed to her husband’s businesses. These points are discussed as news reports on the program. Another Houston story hits close to home: demolition has officially begun at the former Greenspoint Mall. Chris reminisces about Greenspoint, Northwest Mall, Willowbrook and Deerbrook while reflecting on the disappearance of traditional shopping malls around Houston. The featured interview begins around 35:52, when Republican Dave Bennett joins Chris to discuss his campaign for Texas House District 149. Bennett describes himself as an engineer rather than a career politician and says he previously worked in infrastructure and cybersecurity for Phillips 66. He says his involvement in Texas electric-grid legislation helped motivate him to run for office. Bennett explains the unusual geography of HD-149, which includes much of Alief along with areas closer to Katy, and says those portions of the district often have different priorities. He says voters in Alief frequently bring up crime and repeat offenders, while Katy-area residents are more likely to focus on cost of living. Bennett also discusses Texas electricity prices and his desire to continue working on electric-grid and utility policy if elected. The second hour returns to election politics, Talarico, Omar, the new White House press secretary, listener calls and Chris’s Hill Country weekend before the show closes with another reminder about early voting and the changing Houston landscape.

    Trump in Texas, Fort Hood Firing Squad & October 7 Three Years Later

    The October 7 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 opens with a remembrance of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, then moves into Texas politics, the scheduled execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, President Trump’s San Antonio appearance, James Talarico’s recent absence from public events, and a heated Hour 2 discussion over a sexual-assault allegation involving an Arizona congressional candidate. Chris begins by marking the third anniversary of the Hamas attack, remembering the more than 1,200 people killed and the more than 250 hostages taken. He also emphasizes that Americans were among those killed and kidnapped and criticizes those who, in his view, have minimized or justified the attack. Texas politics quickly takes over as Chris asks where James Talarico has been. He reviews a series of canceled, virtual and rescheduled appearances and questions whether the campaign’s explanation that Talarico was ill fully matches the timeline. Those doubts are Chris’s interpretation of the sequence he describes. Chris also discusses unusual polling in the Texas U.S. Senate race, including one survey showing a very large Talarico lead, while arguing that other polling has shown a much tighter contest. Another major story is convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. Chris says officials have now set an execution date of December 3 at 1 p.m., with Hasan to be put to death by firing squad. The program also revisits Christa Pike’s botched Tennessee execution, with Chris reacting to reports that she is awake and speaking after surviving two lethal-injection attempts. President Trump enters the conversation again as Chris discusses his possible federal gas-tax suspension, his trip to San Antonio to campaign with Ken Paxton, and audio in which Trump says he could have pursued former political rivals but initially chose not to because of respect for the presidency. Chris also covers the FBI arrest of an 18-year-old accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired mass shooting at the Mall of America, citing reports that the suspect allegedly sought to kill dozens of people. Hour 2 changes direction after Chris finds a report about an Arizona Democratic congressional candidate who says she was sexually assaulted while repairing campaign signs. Chris reads extensively from the report and questions several aspects of the account, particularly the delay in reporting and lack of immediate medical treatment. The candidate’s allegation should be treated as an allegation; Chris’s assertion that the story is false reflects his own opinion rather than an independently established finding. That debate continues through the final hour, with callers discussing credibility, sexual assault, political messaging and consent. Caller Emily from West Houston closes with a more nuanced argument that intoxication may have made consent unclear for multiple people involved in a separate case Chris calls the “Cornell Seven.” CHAPTERS 00:00 News: Mall of America plot, Trump in Texas & Gulf storm 06:35 Chris X opens the October 7 memorial edition 08:48 Three years since the Hamas attack on Israel 13:13 Where is James Talarico?

    Trump “Nuclear Cities” Media Firestorm, Fort Hood Execution & Talarico Fight

    The October 6 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 tackles the media firestorm over President Trump’s remarks about Los Angeles and San Diego, new polling on Hispanic voters, the planned execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, the Texas Senate race, Harris County spending, the death penalty and a full slate of listener calls. Chris opens by playing President Trump’s actual remarks after multiple media personalities and Democratic officials portrayed Trump as encouraging Iran to attack Los Angeles and San Diego. Chris argues that the comments were taken out of context and that Trump was instead pointing to Iran’s reduced ability to threaten major American cities. The reaction quickly expands to statements from Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Todd Gloria and other Democratic officials, all of whom criticized Trump’s remarks. Chris says their interpretation reflects a broader pattern of political and media figures seizing on abbreviated clips rather than full context. The show also turns to midterm polling, where Chris cites a Rasmussen survey reporting that Hispanic likely voters favored Republicans 50% to 42%, even while Democrats maintained a smaller overall generic-ballot lead. Chris argues that the numbers challenge a common narrative about Hispanic voters abandoning the GOP. Another major topic is convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. Chris discusses reports that Hasan will be executed by firing squad for the 2009 attack that killed 13 people and wounded dozens of others. Texas politics also dominates the program. Chris discusses James Talarico’s record on police funding, the ongoing Senate race against Ken Paxton, and campaign arguments over gender policy, crime and conservative turnout. These portions reflect Chris’s and callers’ political opinions and interpretations. One of the strongest caller moments comes from Doctor Chris in Cypress, who says he is tired of Republicans complaining about messaging, polling and imperfect candidates instead of simply voting. He also discusses Harris County politics and advocates for Orlando Sanchez in the county judge race. Later, Chris criticizes Harris County spending and property taxes, arguing that Democratic leadership inherited a large surplus and has since moved into deficit while raising taxes. Caller Joe from Sugar Land then sparks a serious debate over the death penalty, religion, murder and child sexual abuse. Chris argues that capital punishment should remain available for the most serious crimes. The closing segments return to Ken Paxton, James Talarico, Harris County crime and Texas politics, with several callers weighing in before Chris wraps the Two-for-Tuesday edition. CHAPTERS 00:00 Trump’s Los Angeles/San Diego remarks & media reaction 01:42 Newsom, Karen Bass & Democrats respond 07:35 Hispanic voter poll & Fort Hood shooter update 09:39 Talarico’s police-funding record & Siberia lab concern 15:18 Two-for-Tuesday begins & media-hoax discussion 25:36 Doctor Chris unloads on turnout, media & Republicans 40:15 Chris expands on media narratives & Texas politics 54:07 Hour 2: Maria Shriver reaction & Trump controversy 1:02:46 Hispanic voter numbers & congressional polling 1:14:20 Nidal Hasan execution by firing squad 1:16:03 Harris County politics & caller Chris 1:28:48 Caller Joe: religion, death penalty & punishment 1:41:40 Final callers: Talarico, Paxton & crime debate Chris X Radio | KSEV AM 700 | The Voice of Texas #ChrisXRadio #DonaldTrump #JamesTalarico #KenPaxton #FortHood #TexasPolitics #KSEV 🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.

    Julie Pickering on Texas Schools, Talarico’s Own Words & Iran’s Economic Crisis

    The October 5 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 covers Texas education policy, parental rights, school-library standards, the Texas Senate race, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, election discussion and a featured interview with Texas State Board of Education member Julie Pickering. Chris opens with a follow-up conversation about his recent firearm suppressor installation. After attempting to remove a component himself, he says he stopped before risking damage and ultimately took the rifle to a professional gunsmith. Then comes the featured Texas Faith Fest interview with Julie Pickering. Pickering explains her role on the Texas State Board of Education, representing a large portion of Southeast Texas and serving as vice chair of the Committee on School Initiatives. She also describes her work on a statewide parental-rights initiative. The interview moves into Texas school-library policy, where Pickering says her committee helped develop statewide standards and argues that some school districts are refusing to follow those rules. She also raises concerns about material she considers inappropriate for children. A major focus is the new mandatory parental-rights training for Texas school-board trustees. Pickering says roughly 8,500 elected trustees must complete a 5.5-hour program covering parental rights under federal and Texas law. She also explains the State Board’s new instructional-material rejection list, which she says allows the board to prevent state tax dollars from being used on textbooks or materials it rejects. Pickering closes by discussing entrepreneurship education, vocational training and personal financial literacy. She says Texas students taking career and technical programs can receive instruction on starting and operating a business, while financial literacy is being incorporated into social-studies standards. After the interview, Chris turns to the approaching midterm election, voter-registration deadlines and early voting before moving into Hour 2. National politics dominates the second hour. Chris discusses economic pressure on Iran, oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz and what he sees as the effects of the Trump administration’s strategy. He later plays a montage of James Talarico criticizing Republicans using terms including “bigots,” “racist” and “controlling women,” then argues that those statements conflict with Talarico’s campaign effort to appeal to moderate Texas voters. The show closes with caller Bart from Spring, who praises President Trump’s foreign-policy record. Chris responds with his own extensive assessment of Trump’s political style, Iran strategy and broader international record.
