Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mornings with Richard Cross; Guests Briggs "Bubba" Hopson & Jason Christie 2026-03-31
Q: What are the two biggest areas driving the budget this year?
Medicaid costs and education dominate the budget, with education consuming a large share of funds and Medicaid consuming a significant, growing portion that has required adjustments in the general fund and capital expenses.
SuperTalk Media Mornings with Richard Cross 2026-04-03
Q: Will the endangerment finding on greenhouse gases be permanent if deregulation continues?
It would require a legal process and record-building; future administrations could reinstate regulations but would need substantial scientific justification and legislative action.
Mornings with Richard Cross; Guests Daniel Sparks & Don Redman 2026-04-01
Q: Why did the bill to fix SNAP error reporting die in committee?
The guest explains that while the Senate passed a version 47-5, it died in the House Medicaid committee due to the complexities of conference language and concerns about altering the current reporting framework; neither side had enough consensus to move it forward, risking the full DHS funding if the bill were enacted.
Mornings with Richard Cross; Guests Lloyd "Rob" Roberson & Paige Roberts 2026-04-15
Q: What are you and your colleagues going to be doing at the Capitol when you get back today?
Rob Robertson explains they will review vetoes and work toward potential PBM reform, aiming to reach a practical compromise acceptable to both sides as they finalize the session.
Mornings with Richard Cross; Guests Brad White & Drake Bassett 2026-04-08
Q: What do you think about roundabouts as a traffic solution?
Brad White explained that roundabouts are generally safer and more efficient because traffic does not have to stop completely, reducing rear-end collisions and increasing flow once drivers adjust to the new pattern.
