And on Saturday, we had this great conversation with James Tallarico.

As you probably know, Tallarico is the Texas state representative who just beat Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for the U.S.

Senate.

He's a Christian seminarian, a former middle school teacher, and a really exciting new young voice in the Democratic Party, who we had on the podcast last summer in July, same day that his pod with Rogan dropped, by the way.

Scott and I chatted with him on his home turf, and we talked about what he should do to defend himself against the attacks from right-wing media that are going to come his way, talked about the primary, and also what would be his governance style if we were talking to Senator Tallarico.

The event was live streamed on our new sub stack, ProfG+.

Scott and I will be back covering the news on Tuesday.

But for now, please enjoy our conversation with James Tallarico and make sure to leave comments.

We do see them and we have been responding more, but we will keep doing that.

We love hearing from you guys.

Yeah.

We're so thrilled.

I have never sent more text messages in my life to one person than trying to get you to come do South by Southwest with us.

So thank you for finally saying yes.

Yeah.

So you just won a huge primary.

And as we were traveling.

And I want to talk about the intricacies of the primary, but first, yesterday, Scott and I were traveling down here and we're talking about the show and, you know, how do we want to start?

What's the first question be?
