State Rep. James Talarico (D-Round Rock) led the Texas House in a sad and revealing prayer last week. Former State Rep. Jonathan Stickland was the first to speak about this issue, and Talarico is now getting national attention for his deceiving prayer. Democrats...

Governor Greg Abbott is opening Texas tomorrow. This is good news for Texans. The sad thing is that not only does Gov. Abbott believe he single-handedly is the one who gets to decide if Texas is open, he believes that he single-handedly gets to decide which businesses...
State Rep. Bryan Slaton forced a debate on abortion right out of the gate. Then, he took on the most liberal mayor in Texas. Today, we sit down and talk about Slaton’s first 60 days in office and what he thinks of State Rep. Dustin Burrows’ attempt to...
The more I read this bill, the worse it got. Today, I sat down with two conservative lawyers, Matt Rinaldi and Tony McDonald. They honestly do an excellent job pointing out the significant flaws in HB 3. This legislation gives the governor, during a pandemic,...
Today I sit down with a long term fellow conservative warrior and friend, Senator Bob Hall. Here is what some of you might not know. Bob Hall has been talking about protecting our power grid ever since he got elected to the Senate 6 years ago. There is no person...
Wealthy government-subsidized oligarchies have been exposed. Tony Tinderholt and Bob Hall started asking for more accountability and oversight over our grid long ago and have been mocked for doing so. Power companies, their lobbyists and their PAC’s have worked...
Character matters, and religious liberty isn’t enough. Recently, both James Dickey and Briscoe Cain have talked about the importance of character from public officials but refuse to recognize their attempt to keep corruption in power in the Legislature. Texans...
Texas is truly at a crossroads, and the direction we take will have a dramatic effect on the entire world. Over the last eight years, our politicians’ decision to largely stay on the sidelines of cultural battles was something they could get away with more...
This week on the podcast, we start by explaining what the rules are, and we lay out key takeaways from last week’s debate. Some key things we learned this week include: Leadership is still the minority. This was brought to light by the fact that when newly...

Many things will be said about the battle where Shelley Luther took on Greg Abbott, the entire Austin Swamp, the Democrat Party of Texas and Drew Springer. The vast majority of the Texas Freedom Caucus also teamed up with those forces to get their preferred candidate...
Dan Patrick announced he is changing the rules of the Senate in order to remove Democrats’ ability to “veto” Republican agenda items. This is a great indication for Republicans who are pushing to have a session dedicated to conservative policy. On...
Sorry for the delay but the Thanksgiving holiday slowed us down. I think many of you will really enjoy today’s episode. We sit down with two different GOP political consultants to discuss the election results in Texas. What they mean for the future of our state...
Allen West is making it clear that the Texas GOP expects to see legislative victories in 2021 that reflect the priorities of the Republican grassroots in Texas. Honestly, his willingness to publicly push this has shocked the Texas Capitol. They have long controlled...
While we still await the final results of the national election we have Texas results in, and the data is fascinating. Donald Trump significantly outperformed the polls, and not in a way that any of us anticipated. I explain that today and talk about the path toward a...
Today is election day, but that’s not all we are talking about. In fact, we will spend today talking about an exclusive poll that we released at Texas Scorecard. We cover what our poll reveals about what someone’s vote, and church attendance, tells us about their...
Some of you may assume you know who I’m voting for this year. What you might not know is that I didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2016. As I looked at this election cycle my decision was clear. I tried to put my finger on why that was the case and the story that came to...
I have great news. Dustin Burrows has reversed his position on a controversial pro-life amendment that Jonathan Stickland passed in 2019. Today we bring you an interview with Jonathan Stickland, along with footage from the Texas House floor, to explain just how hard...
