Nathan Johnson on Ken Paxton, Mayes Middleton & the Texas Attorney General Race | Pod Bless Texas

Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder talks with Nathan, a Dallas state senator and the Democratic nominee for Texas Attorney General, about what the office really does and why it touches your life more than you think. Nathan explains how the AG approves local bonds for schools and water, collects child support, and can enforce or attack clean air laws. He and Kendall dig into Republican nominee Mayes Middleton, why $8 Cheerios matter more to voters than bathroom bills, whether Nathan would sue Donald Trump, and what regular Texans can do if anyone tries to interfere with the election. Plus his surprising past life composing the music for Dragon Ball Z, and a moving trip along the border with a sheriff who thinks the wall is a waste. 0:00 Cold Open: The $8 Box of Cheerios 0:44 Who Is Nathan Johnson? 2:25 What Does the Texas Attorney General Actually Do? 4:13 If You Breathe, This Race Matters 4:57 Will He Sage Ken Paxton's Office? 6:49 Every Democrat Within the Margin of Error 8:54 Cheerios, Diesel and Bathroom Bills 9:53 "A Phone Call Before They Do Something Stupid" 11:06 Will He Sue Donald Trump? 12:44 "MAGA" Mayes Middleton, Trust Fund Baby 14:33 "If People Know Who He Is, I Win" 16:22 He Scored Dragon Ball Z 19:04 Rapid Fire: Best Food on the Campaign Trail 19:38 On the Border With a Fox News Sheriff 23:41 Could Paxton Mess With the Election? ------------------------------- 🌟 Pod Bless Texas covers Texas' hottest political issues and delivers hard-hitting news!🎙️ The host, Texas Democratic Party Finance Chairman Kendall Scudder, brings Texans hard-hitting headlines, expert takes, and information. 💙 🌟 It covers progressive politics in Texas 🗣️ including former guests like Sen.
