Y’all-itics: August


This episode is about the two most influential men in Texas politics that you’ve likely never heard of. They’re billionaire oil men from West Texas who also preach at their local churches.  Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks are now the focus of a new CNN documentary titled “Deep in the Pockets of Texas.”  In talking to experts and fellow conservatives, veteran Texas journalist Ed Lavandera shows how Dunn and Wilks have successfully pushed Texas politics – and that of the nation – to the far-right.  So, the Jasons invited Lavandera out for a pint to find out more about these two men, what shaped them and the political future they want for Texas.


Guest


Ed Lavandera, CNN Correspondent
