So I think, again, the fact that this was scheduled to happen the day before the Texas primary ballots went out and people started to vote.

This feels to me a bit akin to what happened to Bernie Sanders back in the day.

This is the Democrat Party saying, we got to kneecap Jasmine Crockett and make sure she's not the nominee because maybe we can put this seat in play with James Tallarico.

Do you see that?

And by the way, Brendan Carr, let's invite him on the program again because he got attacked and we want to give him equal time on the program.

We had him on recently.

Do you read this in a similar way, Buck, or what stands out to you about this story?

Again, there's no way the Republican nominee, whether it's Wesley Hunt, whether it is Ken Paxton or John Cornyn, is going to be allowed on Colbert.

And this is where the significance of that letter from Commissioner Carr comes into play.

I just look at this and say I can't get over the fact that this happened the day before voting was about to start.

It is a huge gift to Tallarico, and it feels to me like the Democrat Party has convinced itself that, accurately in my opinion, Jasmine Crockett has no chance to win, and they're putting their finger down on the scales in favor of Tallarico.

And, by the way, on the Republican side, this is going to be a Donnybrook.

There are three big time, serious contenders spending big money.

Current Senator John Cornyn.

We've had all these guys on the program.

Ken Paxton, who is the current attorney general, and Wesley Hunt, who is a current congressman that is running to try to be the next senator from Texas.

All of them have run very viable campaigns.

But man, all three of them would crush Jasmine Crockett and significantly would not need to raise any of the money that would otherwise be spent for other states.

I think Democrats believe I think they're wrong that he can win.

But I think James Tallarico, they think, would at least have a puncher's chance, whereas Jasmine Crockett has no chance.
