Paxton Beats Cornyn | How Deep Does the Fraud Go? | Pratt Wants ICE Out | 5/27/26

Ken Paxton, James Talarico, JD Vance, Stephen Miller, Spencer Pratt, and Zohran Mamdani headline today's A.M. Update. Ken Paxton defeats incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate runoff, setting up a November race against Democrat James Talarico, and Aaron plays a clip of Talarico using his Christian faith to defend abortion access and takes it apart piece by piece. JD Vance chairs a bipartisan anti-fraud roundtable with 15 state attorneys general including Connecticut and Oregon, and Stephen Miller expands on his claim that rooting out welfare fraud at scale could balance the federal budget, tracing the collapse of the honor system to decades of mass immigration from cultures that don't share it. Zohran Mamdani threatens to seize and redistribute property from negligent New York City landlords, and Aaron points out the city's own regulations are what drove the neglect in the first place. A resurfaced Spencer Pratt video from February shows him saying he does not want ICE in LA either, and then explaining exactly why Karen Bass is the one who keeps inviting them in. A new Christian mobile carrier called Radiant Mobile launches on the T-Mobile network with a network-level firewall blocking pornography and other harmful content, tied to research showing pornography is a problem for 74% of Gen Z men. Aaron closes with the story of biking 36 miles to work and back on a 90-degree day, and the fountain Dr Pepper from Casey's that almost saved his life at mile 34.
