This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit riveraandreeves.substack.comTexas just handed Democrats a weapon and they're already using it. James Telerico won the Texas Senate Democrat primary, and the media is rebranding this progressive seminarian as a "moderate Christian" — spoiler: he's neither. We break down his scripture cherry-picking, play the clip of a progressive pastor getting absolutely schooled by a congressman on the Bible she claims to represent, and then turn our attention to Tucker Carlson's increasingly unhinged holy war against Israel — including his claims about the IDF, Chabad, and the third temple. Plus: what the Cornyn-Paxton Senate runoff actually means, why Trump may endorse the "establishment" pick, and the McDonald's CEO who accidentally started a fast food beef by taking the saddest bite of a burger in recorded history.Episode Highlights* Texas Runoff Drama: Crenshaw is out, Cornyn and Paxton head to a May 26th runoff — and Trump’s endorsement may hinge on the SAVE Act filibuster deal* Telerico’s Fake Christianity: The media’s new “moderate” Democrat winner reinterprets the Annunciation as a consent negotiation and calls God non-binary — we go to the actual text* Pastor vs. Congress: A progressive “pastor” cited Matthew 25 in her opening statement to a congressional hearing and couldn’t identify the Parable of the Talents when questioned — the full exchange is something else* Tucker’s Holy War: Tucker Carlson frames the entire Iran conflict as a Chabad-orchestrated plot to rebuild the Third Temple — we investigate what Chabad actually is and why the comparison to how he treats Hamas is glaring* McDonald’s CEO Breaks the Internet: One tiny, sad, possibly bun-only bite launched a full fast food CEO troll war — and Wendy’s just posted the best fake job listing of 2025Follow Us On Youtube!Hit play, grab your coffee, and catch up on what’s actually happening.
