The Texas Rep. Fighting Christian Nationalism w/ James Talarico

Rep. James Talarico is a Christian fighting Christian nationalism in the Texas legislature. He's also an 8th generation Texans; a former middle school teacher; and a seminarian. He calls school voucher schemes "scams," and "welfare for the rich," while labeling Gov. Abbott "Robinhood in reverse." He went viral for opposing the Ten Commandments bill on religious grounds and is now squaring up against the Christian nationalist billionaire pastors trying to take over Texas - and the United States. He spoke to Brad about reproductive rights, education, religious freedom, and how Texans are fighting back.
