President Trump is officially endorsing Ken Paxton in in Texas's race for U.S. senate. In a lengthy statement posted online, Trump called Paxton an America first patriot and a true MAGA warrior while criticizing current Texas Senator John Cornyn for not supporting him earlier.
- [01:14]
A
You've been going around asking people just if they can name one accomplishment from Senator Cornyn. Have you found anyone who's able to do so?
- [01:22]
C
No. So I started April 8th. I announced my candidates April date last year. So a year and like two months ago. And every meeting, whether it's one person or it's thousands, I've asked every single time, can you name one good accomplishment? John Corn has been in the Senate for 24 years. He's been in office since the 84, when I was in college. I'm now 63. He's been in office for 42 years, and I give him the whole 42 years, as I said. Can you name one good accomplishment? 42 years. No one's ever delivered an answer. Not one answer.

A
You look at a state, this is
- [01:55]
D
breaking news even to me. There is a new invasive species just been categorized and classified here in Texas by the Trump administration. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, that invasive species is the Texas Rhino. And the Texas Rhino, guess what? It's just been declared open season on the Texas Rhino. Because they're an invasive species and they shouldn't be here. There's too many people that shouldn't be here. And we are going to work together with the open season. We're going to work with Beau. We're going to work with everyone here because the Texas Rhino has got to go. I'm sorry, The Texas Rhino has got to go. No more of this nonsense where people just walk up and say, oh, we're going to. I'm a Republican. Look at me. I've got my cowboy hat, I've got my six shooter. And then they go up to Austin and they vote with the Democrats. They vote with corporate America. They push liberal values. I'm sick of it. We're sick of it. And it's all going to stop because we're going on a rhino hunt, ladies and gentlemen.
- [03:13]
A
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's event, Human Events daily. Today is May 19, 2026 Anno Domini. The Texas rhino is an invasive species. And as you saw in that clip from last year when I went down to Texas and declared open season on Texas rhino. What can I say, folks, I'm a man of my word. Attorney General Ken Paxton, because of the work of the MAGA movement, the grassroots of this country, the grassroots of the great state of Texas that fought with him toe to toe, brought him toe to toe with John Corner up against 100 million. And they couldn't stop action, Paxton. They couldn't stop maga. They couldn't stop the people of this movement. They couldn't stop the truth from coming out. And for the little guy and the little gal down there in Texas fighting back, saying no to the swamp rats of Washington, D.C. and John Cornyn, President Trump has just endorsed Attorney General Paxton against sitting United States Senator John Cornyn. Early voting starts today in Texas. Election Day is next Tuesday, folks. What can I say? What can I say? Earlier voting has started, I should say, in Texas. This is a victory, a massive victory for maga, for the grassroots against the establishment. And it's a rebuke, a rebuke of the Washington, D.C. insiders, a rebuke of the uniparty and a rebuke of Senate GOP leadership. And I got to say, folks, I got to say right now, John Thune may not be long for the Senate majority position after the events of today. Rich Barris joins us next to talk about this stunning, absolutely stunning turnaround in the Texas Senate race. Rich?
- [05:27]
B
Jack, I'm having a hard time concealing my happiness. I mean, look, I got to put on my pollster hat when I go on these shows, but let me just put on my Rich Barris hat for a second. I know Ken. You know Ken. The president knows Ken Paxton. There is nobody in this country, Rich,
- [05:44]
A
you and I, you and I did events with Ken. Yeah, events with Ken.
- [05:48]
B
And we've seen what they did to this man because of his stalwart support of Donald Trump. This is arguably, this man, arguably is somebody, there's nobody else who deserves Donald Trump's Endorsement more than Ken Paxton. You could make that argument intellectually. He has done so much in the first administration. How many immigration policies would have been reversed if Ken Paxton wasn't just active, he was proactive and going after the right courts to make sure that the challenges didn't end up in Hawaii and in the, at that time was the ninth circus court of appeals. I mean, that alone. And then what they put him through with impeachment, you know, these sham, you know, investigations. His own party, which is filled with what you, what you said before in Teran county, the Texas Rhino, by the way, his support of Tarrant county and his friends in Tarrant county. That is the most important Republican county which has been going back and forth now in the state of Texas. If you want to keep Texas red. And then to put the pollster hat on, we've pulled this race. We know if Ken Paxton is not the nominee, we will undoubtedly suffer with turnout depression in November. Republican maga, especially for like these, these, these people we all know are, are a little bit wobbly right now. They need these guys like Ken Paxton, otherwise you put a corn in on the ticket and they will stay home. So this is a. Guys, we really cannot understate how. This is a maga. A real maga.
- [07:17]

Wait, wait.
- [07:18]
A
Rich, Rich, Rich. I just got to, I got to read this to you. Andrew. Andrew d'.

A
He's got this, this tweet up. Senate Republicans are livid with Trump just now. Senator Wicker remained stoned face for about 20 seconds as he walked into lunch and we asked him for his reaction. Senator Murkowski is crying. She's melting down. She's melting down up there in a Senate lunch right now. Oh, listen, it's perfect. The rhino tears. People talk about the liberal tears. No, I want to drink a nice glass of rhino tears.
- [07:57]
B
They're the real enemy. They have always been the real enemy. Liberals, you know what they are. You know what they're capable of. You know what to expect from them. That is, you know, the, the, it's the face of it. But the real enemy that opposes Donald Trump, that opposes America first, that opposes maga, has always been in the United States Senate, has always been in leadership in the United States Senate. They are always the one who sticks the knife in your back. Who did it with repeal and replace. Who, who killed a seven campaign promise that cost us the House of Representatives. It was John McCain, his friend. Listen, nobody. This is, it was why I'm so happy in 2002. This man was electing Jack in the he was in part of the first rhino wave in the post 911 era when Republicans did incredibly well in the midterms after 911 before the war got unpopular. He's embodiment of a rhino never ending war. Amnesty neocon and Ken Paxton is everything that MAGA is this he had to go and honestly here's I'm laughing.
- [09:01]
A
Here's what I got to ask though. And two minutes of the break. Rich, do you agree with my assessment that this is a direct rebuke of Senate leadership and potentially of John Thune directly and that President Trump may even be willing to entertain a challenger for Senate majority leader after this?
- [09:21]
B
Better late than never. I do agree and I'd say better late than never in the beginning. I'll be honest with you, Jack. I did not want him to back John Thune as the Senate majority leader. I wanted Rick Scott and I figured we'd end up in positions just like this, which is look at how much money was spent to keep a guy. You know, you heard Ken in the clip you ran before, 24 years in the United States Senate. You can't find a single thing on the from the people out of the voters mouths themselves interviewing them. What is one, one thing John Cornyn has done for you? And here's the dirty little secret that people like you and I know but the people at home don't. John Cornyn only was running to be reelected so he could pay back his big donors with an amnesty bill which they were going to then try to ram down Donald Trump's throat. This is, this is a, this is the only way for maga that this, this outcome is the only positive outcome for maga. I do and I think you know what Wicker Steve, you can cry all you want. You can be stone faced all you want. Lisa, you could cry all you want. You guys better. Donald Trump is Donald Trump. He didn't have to play ball with you. That's the truth here, Jack. He didn't have to play ball with them. He could have made them, you know, have to walk on eggshells and walk on pins and needles.
- [10:33]
A
This whole act, Ken Paxton that's offered them the save. I said I will do it out if you he called them, he called their bluff. He called their bluff and he said you pass the SAVE Act, I'll drop out right now. And that is what threw the monkey wrench into all of this because that got the president's attention. And the president was, we all know he was looking to endorse Cornyn Right.
- [10:56]
B
It was almost.
- [10:57]
A
It was a brilliant move, a brilliant move by Paxton. It just shows the level of authenticity that that man has and willing to actually have his own integrity on light. Remember that. Never forget that Ken Paxton offered to drop out if the Senate leadership would pass the SAVE act and they refused. So, guys, if you're looking for someone to be upset at, look in the mirror right back. Call this the Jack Posobic Appreciation Hour. I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobet.
- [11:33]
B
And that is.
- [11:40]
A
All right, folks, Jack back Live Human Events Daily. Real America's Voice. Folks, let me be blunt. Inflation is still squeezing many families. Debt keeps climbing. Markets are flashing warning signs and Washington keeps acting like the country can absorb all of it. But the smart money is watching something else. Before the crashes of 1999 and 2008, a rare market signal showed up. Most people missed it. The smart money didn't. Gold and stocks were rising at the same time. That's not normal. Stocks are supposed to rise when confidence is strong. Gold rises when confidence starts to crack. They are supposed to move in opposite directions until something underneath the system is off. Right now they're both breaking records again. It's only happened twice before. Major market repricing events. Does that mean a crash is coming tomorrow?
- [12:24]
B
No.
- [12:25]
A
But it does mean that risk may be dangerously mispriced. Gold doesn't surge because it's popular. It moves. When confidence in currency weakens, debt explodes and central banks start quietly preparing behind the scenes. Here's the part that should grab your attention. Banks are buying gold at record levels right now. They're not guessing. Gold doesn't depend on earnings. It doesn't depend on credit markets. It doesn't depend on political promises. Stocks. Do you have a savings or retirement account? You don't get to do over. This is about protection, not speculation. Call 844-577-PO or visit protectwithposo.com that's 844-577-7676 or protect with poso.com learn how Gold IRA can help shield what you've worked decades to decide. That's protect with poso.com or bring rich Barris back in right here. So, Rich, we got breaking news out of the Kentucky race. And I don't want to make this all about Texas because we do actually have an election going on right now. Huge, closely watched, high profile. As high profile as these things could get. Typically not. They don't get this high Profile, by the way, in a, in a congressional primary. But this is the Massey Galrain race down. I believe it's Kentucky 4. And Selena Zito, great reporter, is up with a report saying that the Massie campaign is sending out mass texts with a 2022 Trump statement that kind of makes it look like the president is supporting Massie today when it's actually an endorsement from four years ago. And at the very end it says paid for by the Massey for Congress campaign. Rich, you and I well know that when, when the shenanigans come out like that, that's when you know it's a nail biter. That's when you know it really is one of those. We're, we're down to counting, you know, the brass tax here. We're counting the, you know, the peanut chips on the floor to make sure whatever we can do to get that last vote out. I know that you've been calling this a 50, 50 race. What are your, what are your thoughts going into this big Kentucky barn burner?
- [14:26]
B
I really. Look, Kentucky 4 is a very. Kevin using this word because it's right, but it's a very contrarian district. It is known to be difficult to pull. People don't really like it. They don't like to get into this area of the country pretty much at all. But especially in district races, I mean, we can go into what the internals showed in both campaigns for a while. We've been pulling it since April. We did have Massey up. The race moved in Alrin's direction. It got tighter. There's just no doubt. And it, we ended. Jack, just so people understand, it really is all about turnout. We ended with looking at people who have like three out of four primary vote history. We ended with this race being tied basically to the interview. In other words, for almost we, we had a three day average on big data poll. People can go check it out. Massey in April at a four point lead and you could see that lead slowly, slowly tighten and chip away. Galwin leads by about four and a half points with those who are the most certain to vote. All right, so if Massey cannot get people out and I think he probably has a lead in the election day vote. Trumpy vote is election. I mean he has a lead in early vote. Trumpy vote is an election day vote. But still Trump's campaign, the people, you know, run, the consultants for Galvan, they know how to expand the electorate with like 62 plus. That's what they've been trying to do and they've been just Hammering these voters for days with Trump's true social boasts. So Massey campaign has got to pull stuff out like this because it is, it's like that, Jack. I'm telling you, it's been close in a way that we haven't pulled a race this interesting in a long time. Let me just put it that way. Typically you can get a very clear idea. You know, I mean I, I don't know where a lot of these pulling misses in recent memory have come from other than pollsters playing games, but most of the races we've been pulling over the years have been kind of easy to pull. Covid Pres, you know, presented some challenges. This has been a, a difficult, tight race to pull, you know, for like two weeks straight. And when I tell you every night we do a net, a rolling average and we drop off the previous 24 hours from out of that time span, the duration, it ends with like 298 interviews for Gallerin, 298 interviews for Massey, 297 for Massey, 299 for Glory, 299 for Massey, 297 for Garbage.
- [16:44]
A
So Richard. And you know, is that it really, I know it's cliche, but it, you know, it just comes down to which machine has the ability to turn their voters out, both in the early voting and then now on election day itself, which one is able to go for those, those higher voters. And the way that I would read this is that it looks like the, the, the Gowering voters are going to be your more high prop voters. But again, not, not necessarily. It's just going to have a slight edge there. But then, but then Massie's edge and his advantage is going to be with low prop voters.
- [17:19]
B
That's right. Massey has a broader base of support. He has more support across more, more groups, more demographics by age and by area and region of the district. However, Gallerin has the most likely, the most reliable vote. So just to give people an idea, gallery leads with boomers, you know, anywhere between like 60 to 60, 40 to 65, 35. And then Massey leads with everybody else. And Massey has a huge margin with millennials, but we only had them like 13% of the electorate. It is a primary after all. So if it was one thing, I would say is this folks. If you look back at the voting history of Kentucky 4, it isn't like a Florida Republican primary. There is a percentage of young voters who do show up in Kentucky 4, they're more libertarian leaning and that's why he's a tough guy. To beat. However it, you know, it's a cliche like you said, but it really is all about turnout in the broader primary. 3 out of 4 electorate. This race looked dead even to us. But if one side can get their vote out more than the other. Now I was talking to, you know, about this the other day. There are scenarios where either of these candidates can actually win kind of easily because a few hundred votes moves a district margin like this quite a bit. So if Massey does do better with that ground game, by the way, we asked 42% of primary voters told us that they had been knocked by groups supporting Thomas Massie on the door. We've spoken and talked face to face with people who support Thomas Massie. That was only about 19%. Some, most of the time it was 17 Fred Gallwin. But Ed Gauran has basically texted every voter 62 and over more than one time. So it's really.
- [19:00]
A
So what we're looking at here is it's, it's, it's sort of an air campaign versus a ground campaign. Oh, that's in addition to that tactically and, and of course, you know, a sitting congressman is a strong machine in his own district. That's, you know, that's just obvious. But then of course I was on another, another program, got asked about this this weekend and I said look, you know, this is the, you know, kind of the unstoppable force, force versus the immovable object kind of situation, right? You've got a sitting congressman, you've got the sitting senator of that state campaigning for the congressman, obviously also high profile Senator Rand Paul. But then of course you've got the sitting President, United States, who's against him. So it's, you know, it was also incredibly popular and, and who's just made huge plays in Texas and Louisiana as well as well as Indiana. We saw the huge anti incumbent wave. And do you think, Rich, just in the last minute, do you think the anti incumbent wave could potentially affect Massie at all? Or is that not really where his support is?
- [19:58]
B
No, that's not what's at play here.
- [20:00]
A
It really, I mean we've seen his anti establishment anyway.
- [20:03]
B
That's right, he is. And honest. I mean guys, one thing he has going for him is that the, I mean the Epstein Transparency act was the most popular bill passed in the last two years that we've polled. It's just that there's an enormous amount of money painting him as disloyal and that's the tactic the Gallerin campaign took. It's not just it's disloyal to Maga, disloyal to Trump and the idea is to drive that turnout with 62 plus because they're reliable they're not really trying to win over the district they're trying to win over the primary vote that they want to create. I think there's a huge backlash that that could cause but that's another day another segment but I, I don't think this is anti incumbent they chose to label him as disloyal and they put $25 million behind it. It's an ungodly amount per capita guys. It's more money that was spent against Donald Trump in 10 years in his entire political career per capita.
- [20:56]
A
No, we will, we will certainly see I'm going to be only watching that one tonight as I'm sure we all are. Rich Barrett, screen Google Vol.
