The David Frum Show: Can Democrats Actually Win in Texas?
On this week’s episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum opens with his thoughts on Kristi Noem’s removal as head of the Department of Homeland Security. David warns that the chaos at the department, combined with President Trump’s demand that the SAVE Act be passed before he will sign any budget for DHS, could endanger Americans as the U.S. wages war against Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Then David is joined by former Representative Beto O’Rourke to discuss the hotly contested 2026 Senate primary in Texas between James Talarico and Representative Jasmine Crockett. Frum and O’Rourke discuss what this race means for the future of the Democratic Party, why Texas Democrats always seem to fall short of victory, and the importance of the Texas Senate race for control of the chamber. Finally, David is joined by Samuel Fleischacker, a philosophy professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” and discuss how Smith would fit in politically today.
David Frum is one of North America’s leading voices of dispassionate, analytic, and independent conservatism. His articles in The Atlantic have been hailed as the most prophetic and insightful studies of U.S. global leadership, open international trade, and democratic institutions with a message that is pro-enterprise and post-partisan.
Frum’s wit, historical insight, and deep understanding of politics, economics, and governance are familiar to viewers on CNN, MSNBC, to television viewers across the English-speaking world, as well as in Europe and India – and of course to his more than 1 million Twitter followers. Whether speaking to a concert hall of 3,000 people or an informal seminar of 12, whether joined in friendly or high-tension debate, Frum is always an entertaining and enriching speaker, at his best when faced with the most unexpected questions.
