The “Ruthless” podcast<\/a> kicked off its midterm candidate interview series on Thursday with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as the program aims to help listeners learn if hopefuls “can hang with the fellas and be a decent human being.”<\/p>\n

Paxton, who is leading in the Republican Senate primary polls even without President\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0endorsement, sat down with “Ruthless” co-hosts Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook for the first of a series of critical interviews designed to educate its audience ahead of “vitally important” midterm elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The midterms are incredibly important ,and one of the things that we promised you, as a listener of the \u2018progrum,\u2019 is we\u2019re going to provide you interviews to get to know every single candidate that matters in every single one of these pivotal races,” Holmes said.<\/p>\n

“Ruthless” also unveiled an interactive map that highlights key Senate races and links to information and interviews on each of the candidates ahead of the GOP primary season. The map, located at Ruthlesspodcast.com\/map<\/a>, will be updated throughout the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What it is designed to do is provide all of you who are listening throughout the country a real-time, totally accessible opportunity to click on your state and look at the candidates who are attempting to represent you,” Holmes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Ruthless” hopes the map and interview series will help listeners make more informed decisions.<\/p>\n

“We understand that everyone in the mainstream media wants to shade one, or shade another,” Holmes said. “They\u2019ll tell you exactly who it is they think you ought to vote for based on the tenor of the coverage of one candidate or another.”<\/p>\n

“We approach this a different way here,” he continued. “You come down, you sit with the fellas, and we have, basically, one litmus test, and that litmus test is, can you hang with the fellas? Like, can you convince an audience that you can hang with the fellas and be a decent human being?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smug added that “unlike the mainstream media,” guests on the podcast won\u2019t face a “firing squad of liberals who are trying to help Chuck Schumer win a race.”<\/p>\n

Duncan noted that an assortment of interviews is already live on their new website, including with Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re going to have all of that at your disposal before you cast a ballot,” Duncan said. \u00a0“Over the next eight, nine months, we\u2019re going to have a lot more, so it\u2019s going to be a huge resource.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, another hopeful for the Texas Senate primary, is set to appear next week.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll have all of them,” Holmes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You can take some time, not just to get to know them through the wedge questions that the media asks to try to put people on defense, but a little bit about their personality. Who they are. Because, ultimately, what you\u2019re doing, particularly in Republican politics in primaries, is, there are shades of differences in globally recognized facts within the Republican Party,” he added. “But you\u2019ve got to know that the guy, or the woman, that you\u2019re sending there is ultimately going to represent your point of view.”<\/p>\n
