00:02:41.080When was the last time that more people actually picked up a Democratic ballot, cast a ballot in a Democratic primary in Texas in the midterm?
00:02:47.800You have to go all the way back to 2002.
00:02:50.820And two, so this could break, this could break an over 20-year stretch, my goodness gracious, whereby more people are actually voting on the Democratic side.
00:02:59.920And I will note, it really hasn't even been close since 2002.
00:03:03.800Overwhelmingly, more people have been voting on the Republican side in Texas.
00:03:07.080And this year so far, more people are voting on the Democratic side.
00:03:10.800This is different, very different, with a capital V in this case.
00:03:15.140So we still have a few days to go here.
00:03:17.180What are the chances, what are the prediction markets saying about the chances this will stick?
00:03:20.420Okay, so we're only really been talking about the early vote.
00:03:23.160But if you look at the Cal State prediction market, what you actually see is the chance to have higher Texas primary turnout.
00:03:28.440Now, right now, the people putting their money where their mouth is actually slightly predict that there will be more votes cast on the Democratic side than on the Republican side, 60% to 40%, still a close race.
00:03:39.080But given that Republicans have been so outvoting Democrats in Texas, the idea that more people could actually vote on the Democratic side in Texas, again, as I said at the top, whoa.
00:03:49.540Okay, it's Thursday, 26 February in the year of our Lord, 2026.
00:03:54.080Brian Glenn, our own Brian Glenn, who happens to be a Texan, Brian Glenn is on a plane.
00:03:58.700He's decided to come out tonight, so he'll be with us all day tomorrow.
00:04:01.540He was going to fly to an Air Force One, but coming now early.
00:04:04.680So he'll be in Corpus Christi and doing our coverage, starting with his show at 7 a.m. in the morning, Eastern Standard Time will kick off,
00:04:12.960and we'll be doing all-day coverage of President Trump's trip to Corpus Christi.
00:04:17.220That's how important I think this trip is looked at, President Trump coming to South Texas.
00:07:57.800In fact, Cornyn actually not only took a 30-second spot out that was against Sharia and his support of being anti-Sharia,
00:08:04.140he actually submitted a bill in the Senate with Tommy Tuberville last week that's banned Sharia law throughout the United States of America.
00:08:13.140How much of a problem has it been in Idaho?
00:08:16.160Are you guys trying to get ahead of it?
