963: What’s Wrong With Texas Republicans?
Manage episode 480448415 series 2418231
Is Texas really as conservative as everyone thinks—or is it just really good at pretending?
This episode of The Brian Nichols Show is going to rattle some cages. We’re heading deep into the Lone Star State to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes of “red state” politics. From political half-measures to media silence on major scandals, this one’s got all the spicy truth bombs the mainstream won’t touch. If you think Texas is a conservative stronghold, buckle up.

We’re joined by Tony Ortiz from Current Revolt, a media outlet that’s not afraid to get dirty with the facts. Tony breaks down how Texas Republicans often fall short of their own messaging—and how the state’s biggest problems stem from within their own party. It’s a wake-up call for anyone who’s been lulled into red state complacency.
We also dive into why so many of these issues stay hidden from voters, thanks to media gatekeeping and voter apathy. Tony reveals why most voters never hear about the real drama, how incumbents play the long game to stay in power, and why the leftist media won't even touch GOP scandals when they actually have ammo. It's wild, revealing, and guaranteed to shift your perspective.
Oh—and don’t miss the scorching takedown of the “Texit” movement. Tony explains why secession isn’t just a political dead-end, but a full-on grift, and he backs it up with real numbers, insider insight, and more than a little sarcasm. This is the kind of conversation that cuts through the political theater and delivers real clarity.
Whether you’re a diehard Texan, a political junkie, or just someone fed up with fake conservatives and media games, this episode gives you the raw, unfiltered breakdown. You won’t look at red state politics—or the people behind them—the same way again.
