The October 27 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 covers record-setting Texas early voting, the closing days of the Ken Paxton–James Talarico U.S. Senate race, President Trump’s proposed voter-fraud reward, new legal developments involving former FBI Director James Comey and a featured interview with Jonathan Saenz, President of Texas Values.Chris opens the show by examining the massive early-voting turnout across Texas. Participation is running far ahead of the 2022 midterm cycle, but Chris cautions against assuming those numbers automatically point toward a red or blue wave.The featured interview begins around 34:26, when Jonathan Saenz joins Chris X.Saenz explains why Texas Values is supporting Ken Paxton over James Talarico in the U.S. Senate race. He acknowledges that the organization previously withdrew its endorsement of Paxton during the Republican primary because of concerns surrounding Paxton’s personal life, but says the general election presents a fundamentally different choice.According to Saenz, the organization is now focused on the candidates’ voting records and positions on faith, family, parental rights, abortion, gender policy and judicial nominations.Saenz argues that the stakes are especially high because a U.S. senator serves a six-year term and could participate in multiple Supreme Court confirmation votes during that period.He also warns voters against simply skipping the Senate race if they are dissatisfied with one of the candidates. Saenz says a close statewide election could be determined by a relatively small number of voters who choose to leave the contest blank.The conversation then turns to the final week of Texas early voting. Saenz encourages habitual Election Day voters to consider casting their ballots early to avoid unexpected scheduling problems, long lines or other complications.Chris also discusses President Trump’s proposal to offer a $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people involved in voter fraud.Hour 2 includes a lengthy discussion of new legal action involving former FBI Director James Comey, as Chris reacts to allegations involving the transmission of national-defense information dating back to 2016.The show also takes calls from listeners discussing gas prices, media bias, early voting and the Texas election.One caller from Conroe reports waiting approximately an hour to vote at the Montgomery County Library, reinforcing the extraordinary turnout Texas is seeing during the final week of early voting.Chapters00:00 News, FBI investigation & national headlines06:19 Taco Two-for-Tuesday begins08:32 Final week of Texas early voting09:25 Turnout running roughly 50% above 202212:32 DOJ charges James Comey again13:24 Trump proposes $1 million voter-fraud reward14:19 Ilhan Omar allegations & Eric Swalwell investigation15:43 Texas turnout and the Trump-voter wildcard17:00 Consumer confidence & gas prices26:07 Renaissance Festival detour34:26 Jonathan Saenz joins Chris X36:36 Texas Values endorses Ken Paxton37:31 Why the endorsement changed38:09 Saenz on Talarico’s record38:48 Supreme Court stakes of a six-year Senate term40:25 Personal concerns vs. policy differences42:04 Should voters skip the Senate race?43:51 Why Saenz says vote early46:14 Down-ballot races matter47:39 Abbott Impact app & voter outreach55:38 Dr. Chris fires up the phones1:06:17 Hour 2 begins1:11:33 DOJ and James Comey case1:15:45 Trump’s voter-fraud reward proposal1:17:26 Caller Steven on gas prices and local media1:19:30 Chris unloads on network news1:27:05 Election-week weather & polling texts1:42:49 Conroe caller reports hour-long voting line1:51:48 Final hour wrap & Election Day previewChris X Radio | KSEV AM 700 | The Voice of Texas #ChrisXRadio #JonathanSaenz #KenPaxton #JamesTalarico #TexasPolitics #TexasElection #KSEV🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.Follow ChrisXradio for more politics, Texas talk, caller debates, culture, and the conversations that don’t always fit neatly into the headlines.Listen.

The October 26 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 kicks off the final week of Texas early voting with a major Harris County interview, the latest Paxton–Talarico campaign developments, Elon Musk and Starlink, Ilhan Omar’s federal investigation and a new mystery from the Chris X-Files.Chris begins with his own early-voting experience in Jersey Village, where he says he was able to park, vote and get out in roughly ten minutes. With early voting continuing through Friday, October 30, Chris looks at turnout across Harris County and surrounding areas and hears reports from listeners about wait times at polling locations.The featured interview is with Mark Cowart, Republican candidate for Harris County Treasurer.Cowart is challenging incumbent Treasurer Karla Wyatt, whose legal troubles and recent vehicle collision have become major issues in the race.Cowart discusses Wyatt’s prior arrests, alleged bond violations and a recent multi-vehicle crash. He says witnesses reported that Wyatt attempted to leave the scene and says victims later discovered she allegedly did not have active auto insurance at the time. The legal allegations and circumstances discussed in the interview remain subject to the applicable court and investigative processes.Beyond the controversy, Cowart explains what he wants to do with the office.His top priority is restoring financial transparency. Cowart says he wants to bring back an online searchable database allowing Harris County taxpayers to examine county transactions and better understand how public money is being handled.He also says the Treasurer should be an active voice for accountability at Commissioners Court rather than simply performing administrative duties behind the scenes.Cowart tells Chris that his candidacy has attracted support from voters and political figures outside the Republican Party and points to endorsements from organizations and media outlets that do not traditionally support Republican candidates.The show then shifts back to statewide politics as Ken Paxton and James Talarico prepare for major campaign events in Lubbock while President Trump also heads to West Texas.Chris also discusses a push by House Democrats to end the Justice Department’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration history, and later reacts to Omar’s decision to appear with controversial political streamer Hasan Piker despite criticism from some Minnesota Democrats.Another major topic involves Elon Musk and Starlink. Musk says SpaceX closed a loophole after Ukrainian forces allegedly used the civilian satellite service to guide offensive drone strikes inside Russia. Chris discusses the controversy and the changing political relationship between Musk and Democrats.The phones open throughout Hour 2, with callers debating Elon Musk, James Talarico, political advertising and early-voting turnout.And finally, the Chris X-Files return.Chris examines a recently released government memo describing a mysterious triangular object observed in the western United States. According to the report discussed on the show, federal law-enforcement personnel watched the object make a perfectly controlled vertical ascent with no visible wings, propulsion or wobble before reportedly accelerating away at approximately 1,800 miles per hour.Politics, local government, early voting, callers — and a mysterious black triangle in the sky.

The October 22 edition of Chris X Radio on KSEV AM 700 is a “Friday Show on Thursday” packed with record early-voting numbers, local corruption headlines, a surprise call from Texas State Senator Paul Bettencourt, the latest Paxton–Talarico polling and a full hour of listener reaction.Chris opens with another update on historic early-voting turnout in Harris County, where nearly 328,000 people had already cast ballots through the first three days. Listeners also share their own voting experiences, including lines, wait times and first-time voter issues.The show then turns to major local political news.Fort Bend County Tax Assessor-Collector Carmen Turner has been charged in a nine-count federal indictment accusing her of misusing taxpayer resources. The allegations include claims that county funds were used to pay individuals for work unrelated to official county business. The case remains active, and the charges are allegations rather than findings of guilt.That story leads into a surprise call from State Senator Paul Bettencourt.Bettencourt breaks down the Turner case and then shifts to Harris County Treasurer Carla Wyatt, who remains under intense scrutiny following prior arrests, a high-profile vehicle incident and a lawsuit seeking to remove her from office.Bettencourt argues that voters may ultimately have to decide Wyatt’s future at the ballot box if the legal process does not move before Election Day.The biggest moment of the interview comes when Bettencourt gives his assessment of Harris County early-voting turnout.He says participation is running dramatically above 2018 levels, but warns that his early breakdown shows Democrats and independents holding a substantial advantage over Republicans. Bettencourt says the numbers could still move as early voting continues and stresses that down-ballot contests can be decided by tiny margins.Chris then returns to the Texas U.S. Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico, reacting to a new Fox News poll showing the two candidates tied at 49% among likely voters. Chris questions why so many major races seem to tighten into statistical dead heats right before Election Day and again raises concerns about the reliability of modern polling.The show also revisits Ilhan Omar, as Chris plays part of a recent interview in which she responds to allegations surrounding a former husband and her family finances.Hour 2 becomes a full open-phone election show.One caller warns that Republicans are not doing enough to explain Talarico’s legislative record. Another argues that Republicans should focus more heavily on specific votes and past positions rather than relying mainly on controversial soundbites.Other callers weigh in on Harris County turnout, HCAD races, property taxes, voter complacency and the broader stakes of the 2026 election.And because it’s the Friday Show on Thursday, the politics are mixed with the usual Chris X detours into Rush, KISS, local burger joints, Buffalo Wild Wings, Magnolia restaurants and the continuing joke that Cash is leaving KSEV to work on a moon base.Chapters00:00 National news & immigration enforcement ruling05:50 Friday Show on Thursday begins08:15 Weekend kickoff & Cash banter11:28 Listener early-voting reports15:40 Harris County historic turnout numbers18:51 Tom Skerritt remembered19:53 ICE pursuit in Harris County20:25 Carmen Turner federal indictment21:09 Paxton–Talarico race hits 49–4933:36 Ilhan Omar interview reaction40:11 Paul Bettencourt joins Chris X41:00 Carmen Turner corruption allegations44:03 Fort Bend and Harris County officeholder controversies44:40 Carla Wyatt car-crash video and removal lawsuit49:27 Why local corruption matters50:10 Bettencourt’s Harris County early-voting warning51:32 Could Paxton struggle in Harris County?52:28 Why every down-ballot vote matters1:06:20 Hour 2 begins1:08:44 HCAD races & Republican messaging1:15:27 Caller Elizabeth on Talarico campaign strategy1:26:30 Run-On Robert joins the show1:37:01 Louis the Ladies Man on voting & taxes1:40:12 Bubba: local food, Rush & KISS documentaries1:50:05 Final hour calls on turnout and campaign strategyChris X Radio | KSEV AM 700 | The Voice of Texas#ChrisXRadio #PaulBettencourt #TexasPolitics #EarlyVoting #KenPaxton #JamesTalarico #KSEV🎙️ ChrisXradio airs Monday–Thursday on KSEV 700 AM — The Voice of Texas in Houston.Follow ChrisXradio for more politics, Texas talk, caller debates, culture, and the conversations that don’t always fit neatly into the headlines.Listen.
