The panel calls Texas for James Talarico and treats the result as a direct test of Republican candidate quality, messaging, and turnout.
The brief
Steven Crowder’s election-night megastream mixes live race calls, prediction markets, interviews, sketches, and sustained reactions as Republican losses accumulate.
Texas becomes the central shock: James Talarico defeats Ken Paxton, while the panel links the result to weak candidates, poor messaging, economic anxiety, and low conservative turnout.
Tim Pool, Jillian Michaels, Buck Sexton, Piers Morgan, and Patrick Bet-David offer competing diagnoses, from election integrity and polarization to Trump’s broken promises and party leadership.
The panel’s core argument is that voters rejected particular Republican candidates and leaders rather than every conservative policy, citing support for conservative constitutional amendments.
By the close, the hosts call for accountability, stronger nominees, strategic voting, and renewed attention to immigration, family policy, free speech, and constitutional rights.
