Texas Democrats' Return Fled to avoid redistricting legislation. Faced legal pressure: potential arrest, fines, and threats of office vacancy. Ultimately returned, allowing the redistricting bill to proceed. Redistricting & Gerrymandering Cruz and Ferguson claim Democratic states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are far more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republican states. They cite statistics showing disproportionate representation in Congress compared to actual vote percentages. Historical Context Cruz recounts his experience as Texas Solicitor General during a similar 2003 redistricting standoff. Legal precedent allows for forcible return of lawmakers to establish quorum. Criticism of Democratic Leaders Governors of Democrat-led states are accused of hypocrisy for criticizing Texas while benefiting from gerrymandered maps. Audio clips and quotes from figures like Governor Pritzker (IL) and Governor Hochul (NY) are used to highlight perceived contradictions. Beto O’Rourke’s Remarks A clip of Beto O’Rourke is played where he advocates for aggressive Democratic redistricting, which Cruz interprets as a call for partisan power grabs. Broader Political Commentary The hosts argue that Democrats are losing favor nationally due to unpopular policies and power-driven tactics. They cite polling data showing low favorability for the Democratic Party. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a district court to hold Beto Pancho O'Rourke in contempt, fine him, and detain himuntil he obeys the Temporary Restraining Order the state alleges he has violated over raising money for Democrats who fled the state to break legislative quorum.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Speaker and Lt. Governor say they will gavel the 1st called session sine die on Friday if a quorum has not been obtained in the House. Governor Abbott will then call another special session, the 2nd called session, to begin immediately.Texas Supreme Court sets and “expedited briefing schedule” over the case of whether the quorum busting equals an abandonment of office by Democrat legislators. Its expedited schedule is actually about a month long and seems to aid Dems in their run out the clock, again and again, strategy.Lubbock city officials tell you not to worry, they are setting the property tax increase proposal at the maximum allowed without voter approval but it's just to hold the public hearings – they may set a lower rate.  This is a trick. By setting it at the maximum and having the hearings, then they can come back with a bit of lesser tax increase and not have to endure public hearings.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.
