GOP Rep Promised He Wouldn't Side with Dems. Then He Did. Now He's Getting Primaried.

While political pundits focus on fundraising numbers and endorsement tallies, Daniel Miller reveals the real story behind one of Texas's most important primary battles. Jon Bouche isn't just another candidate challenging an incumbent - he's the grassroots leader who already took down the Texas political establishment once and won.Miller sits down with Bouche to discuss his upcoming challenge to Will Metcalf in House District 16. But this race represents something much bigger than one legislative seat.

THIS Is How We Take Texas Back

While most people complain about politicians who break promises and sell out their constituents, Daniel Miller reveals the TNM's plan to actually do something about it. The Texas Nationalist Movement has launched "Texan Arise" - a statewide training campaign to turn regular Texans into effective campaign volunteers. Miller sits down with TNM Executive Vice President Nate Smith and Chief of Staff Daphne Armour to discuss why this campaign could change Texas politics.

The Texan Arise workshops target people with little to no campaign experience, teaching practical skills like phone banking, block walking, voter contact, and using technology effectively. The goal isn't just to help individual candidates - it's to build the volunteer network needed to elect Texas First Pledge signers who will support independence legislation. Smith…
