In this powerful return episode of The Zach Rateliff Show, I bring back my friend Dale Huls – retired NASA engineer from Johnson Space Center, Air Force veteran, and true Texas patriot. We finally go deep on his NASA days and the big question: Are aliens real? Dale gives his insider perspective on what he's seen in the space program.We also tackle the 17th Amendment – how direct election of senators gutted state power, fueled D.C. corruption, and hurt our republic – and why fixing it matters now more than ever.Plus, hot off the headlines: the escalating war in Iran (and America's risky involvement), plus other burning issues like border fallout and political madness.We dive into a topic that's exploding in Texas right now – the rapid rise of Islam in our state. With hundreds of mosques popping up (dozens just in the last couple years), massive population growth in cities like Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, and controversies over proposed Muslim communities and "Sharia" fears, we break down what's driving it, the numbers, and what it means for Texas values and our future.And we get into the John Cornyn election mess – his fight for a fifth term, the March primary forcing a brutal May runoff against Ken Paxton, the massive money and attacks flying, plus any backroom deals being floated (like Cornyn's shift on the filibuster to push Trump's SAVE America Act priorities, Trump's hold on an endorsement, or Paxton's conditions to step aside).

Steve Oglesby is back on the show to deliver his straight-shooting take on the Texas Republican primary election just days away on Tuesday, March 3, 2026 – with early voting wrapping up today and turnout exploding statewide, especially among fired-up Republicans. The brutal U.S. Senate race is the main driver: incumbent Sen. John Cornyn locked in a dead-heat battle against Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt, with polls showing a likely May 26 runoff and massive ad spending topping $110 million. Steve breaks down Cornyn's establishment edge and cash advantage vs. the raw MAGA energy fueling Paxton, the intense debates over character and loyalty, Trump's potential endorsement wildcard, and why this fight is mobilizing grassroots conservatives like never before in a midterm primary.That high grassroots turnout – surging well above 2022 levels with hundreds of thousands more Republican early votes already cast – is creating real momentum for outsiders. We spotlight Doc Pete "Doc" Chambers' bold challenge to Gov. Greg Abbott in the governor's primary. As a retired Green Beret, physician, and unapologetic critic of establishment politics (with endorsements like Gen. Flynn), Chambers is positioned to capitalize on this energized conservative wave. The same anti-establishment fire driving the Senate race could translate into stronger-than-expected support for Doc Pete if these motivated voters show up in force on Tuesday – turning a longshot bid into a serious protest vote or surprise performer!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

No talking points here—just two regular guys reacting in real time with honest takes, laughs, and a bit of that Texas straight talk.Whether you're cheering the wins or questioning the delivery, this episode captures the raw energy of the moment.
