The Luke Macias Show

Texas Republicans have been at odds more than ever recently, but there is a clear path to coming together. Today we break it down.

I pre-recorded a conversation to release while I’m on paternity leave. Today I’m joined by Andrew McVeigh and Vance Ginn with Texas for Fiscal Responsibility to break down the Texas Budget and our path to property tax elimination.

Dade Phelan got 2 new challengers, one of them being a Democrat. The Mayor of Houston is tackling wasteful spending even more than Texas appropriators seem to be and the Texas GOP is ramping up an aggressive canvassing program.

Two new challengers have entered the race against Dade Phelan expanding the coalition advocating for reform in the Texas House. The senate is also expanding the number of conservative policies they are evaluating during the interim.

Today we interview JM Lozano who will be the 20th most senior member in the Texas House next session. He is a leading voice for positive reform in the lower chamber. As someone who has been a chairman under Straus, Bonnen, and Phelan, he brings a unique perspective to this conversation.

Today I sit down with a longtime friend and a true conservative warrior for Texans. Tony Tinderholt talks about his past fights with Texas House leadership and how things are shaping up for the better as we enter into the next session.

Texas House leadership has major concerns as reflected by their facial hair and other immutable factors. Today we talk about some surprising members who are not ready to go to the floor for Dade Phelan.

We all know that the legislature needs to take the Texas GOP priorities seriously. We also know that there are tons of policies that the Texas House killed last session that also need to be revisited. Today I break down a few really important issues that I think absolutely need to be addressed next session so that we can start preparing now for the push that we know is necessary next year.

Elon Musk is calling out the dangers of the declining fertility rate in Texas and across the nation. Dan Patrick is warning House members of the catastrophic consequences of keeping either Dade Phelan or one of his cardinals in charge of the lower chamber.

Houston, we have a problem. Cole Hefner seems to be teaming up with a ton of lobbyists to establish framing that favors the vast majority of members of the Chinese Communist Party. Why on earth would he and so many trade associations work to water down legislation to allow most Chinese nationals to purchase most Texas property?

Last week I called out this behavior on Twitter and the clips reached hundreds of thousands of Texans.

A bunch of the lobby and Representative Hefner told people I was lying.

I was not, and on today’s show, I’m going to bring the receipts.
