  • Let’s Get Down to it

    At first I enjoyed the Beer Banter, but now there are real and dangerous political issues to talk about in Texas and on the Federal level. Ditch the Beer talk and “let’s get down to it”.

  • Broad Coverage, Narrow Journalism

    What’s nice about this podcast is that the coverage is very broad. Politically, geographically (within Texas, of course) and demographically they provide a great overview of current political affairs in the Lone Star State. The journalism, however, is very narrow. What the guests have to say is taken at face value and post interview analysis is often just providing high-level context. It would be nice to see more value add from the journalists involved in creating this show. For example, a recen... more

  • Great show!

    Thanks for doing the good work and keeping us informed on what’s going on in Texas!

    As a teacher, I really appreciate the coverage you guys had on South Lake a few months (years?) ago!

    Cypress Fairbanks ISD is the third largest district in Texas, after HISD and DISD. In 2021, three Christian Nationalists were elected to the board. Two years ago, three more were elected, giving them a 6-1 super majority. There’s been quite a bit of coverage of some of their decisions (removing 13 chapters of... more

  • Ok for a democrat podcast

    Been listening occasionally for over a year now. You need to skip to about 5 min in unless you need a beer suggestion (they seem to prefer IPA’s). Then the two lefty reporters often discuss Texas related topics. with a progressive slant. Often have interviews with Texas related subject experts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Blue Tsunami Crashes Over Texas
Q: What in the world, Matt, can Hinojosa lead on to try to make this state more affordable?
Matt Angle points to reviewing tax incentives, especially for data centers, and using the state surplus to provide relief. He says the Republican-controlled Senate could either negotiate or obstruct those efforts.
‘Inside Texas Politics’: Greg Abbott, Gina Hinojosa, and Their Final Pitch to Voters
Q: Have you considered that maybe you were too welcoming to data centers before you knew the full impact?
Abbott says permits are now halted while the state gathers information, after learning that data centers sought substantial electricity and did not provide required water-use details. He says he has developed guidelines for future projects.
A Blue Tsunami Crashes Over Texas
Q: What is this all about, Vinny? Is this a repudiation of President Trump?
Vinny Minchillo says the result reflects a broader national pushback against Trump, compounded in Texas by Ken Paxton's unpopularity and alignment with him.

Q: Tell me about your plan to make Texas easier to afford and how will you pay for it?
Hinojosa proposes giving each Texas household $1,500 from state savings, freezing electricity rates, suspending the gas and diesel tax, and making data centers pay their fair share.
