Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

December 7th | Kelly Hancock, Royce West, Pat Fallon, and the HUBbub
Q: Can Jasmine Crockett win a Senate race according to the hosts and panelists?
The consensus is cautiously optimistic, noting Crockett could energize Democratic turnout and possibly outperform some colleagues in a competitive primary, but success would depend on poll results and broader electoral dynamics.
September 7 | Mark Scott, Paul Bettencourt, Donna Howard, and the Texas Water Crisis
Q: Representative Howard, outside of a medical emergency, is there any way a Texas woman can obtain an abortion under the new law?
Howard states that there is effectively no legal path within Texas for obtaining an abortion outside emergency situations, and notes that access may become even more restricted as providers, distributors, and patients face lawsuits and sanctions.
September 7 | Mark Scott, Paul Bettencourt, Donna Howard, and the Texas Water Crisis
Q: Senator, you were surprised by the House killing SB 10; what do you think this boiled down to?
Bettencourt explains it was driven by House politics, with a large split among Republicans and Democrats, leading to next-year tax relief being delayed in many counties and cities. He emphasizes the need for broader caucus agreement and the risk of losing immediate tax relief.
September 21 | Alisa Simmons, Michael McCaul, Sid Miller, and another Democratic Quorum Break
Q: Why are Democrats in Tarrant County blocking the tax rate vote?
They argue the lower rate would slash funding for critical services and disproportionately affect vulnerable residents, despite general support for tax relief.
December 14 | Jasmine Crockett, Paul Bettencourt, John Cornyn, and the Decision that Triggered a Political Tsunami
Q: How do you plan to reach independent voters in a traditionally conservative state?
Crockett suggests focusing on real issues, rural advocates, and shared experiences of Texans who live in rural areas to bridge gaps with independents.
