Blue Collar Bill ain't impressed by campaign commercials with politicians in stain-free Carhartt jackets, immaculate rebuilt trucks, new gloves and unused tools. From the OSTX 2/12/2018 broadcast.

Jay Leeson’s opening monologue: How Texas Right to Life tries to abort the pro-life cause | Leonard T. Jenkins on being a designated (cotton) stripper | Texas Tribune’s Ross Ramsey on Texas politics | U.S. House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Mike Conaway (R – Midland) and Politico’s Catherine Boudreau on cotton being restored to Title 1 status | Blue Collar Bill’s Report

Host Jay Leeson explains what Other Side is all about. State Rep.
