  • 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!

    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.

Texas Lawmakers Gave $630 million to Fight Wildfires, But Another Big Ask is Coming
Q: Has the interoperability or radios communication improved in these larger fires like the Ross Fire?
Interoperability and communications issues are more pronounced on massive fires, but we are working closely with the Texas Division of Emergency Management and local departments to address them in the next session.
Texas Lawmakers Gave $630 million to Fight Wildfires, But Another Big Ask is Coming
Q: So what specifically would you ask them for? Do you have that formulated yet?
We are asking for 85 firefighting positions, six new offices, plus funding for mitigation actions and the ongoing costs of operating fire trucks and dozers to maintain and improve the existing capabilities.
90 Days. 14 Seats.
Q: What is the role of unity in the rally you organized?
Shelley Luther: Unity wasn't planned as a message initially; the event evolved into a showcase of collaboration among Republicans, with a focus on delivering varied voices from the party to energize voters.
90 Days. 14 Seats.
Q: How realistic is it that Democrats could flip the Texas House by 14 seats?
Christina Morales: It's ambitious but plausible given the expanded infrastructure, training, and national DLCC support; she believes a strategic, organized campaign with strong top-ticket alignment can yield surprises.
90 Days. 14 Seats.
Q: What are you personally going to be doing over the next 96 days?
Shelley Luther: I'll take it one day at a time, focus on getting people registered to vote, stay in touch with constituents, and drive turnout with day-to-day outreach and events.
