In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," Ernie and guest host Doris Childress talk with U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, who discusses her campaign for U.S. Senate, her policy priorities, and why she believes she’s right for this seat.

Also, we hear from Dr. Viviana Coles, a Houston-area relationship therapist, who shares her thoughts on how couples can ensure they maintain healthy relationships.

Plus, we discuss the rising influence of Christian nationalism, with Michael Emerson, a Fellow in Religion and Public Policy at Rice University's Baker Institute, who also explains how this form of nationalism has become a major political force in Texas politics.
