More and more Americans are considering decamping from the USA and moving overseas… permanently. And a former Texas resident is leading the way. We first introduced you to Jana Lynn Sanchez last November when she announced she was leaving Fort Worth to move to The Netherlands after Donald Trump’s re-election. Nearly six months later, her new company, GTFO Tours, is, literally, helping people “GTFO” out of the country. Sanchez joined the Jasons to explain how it all works, and who is best suited for relocation.

It is a rare event in Texas these days: finding a Republican who supports renewables. Y’all-itics did just that. And John Davis tells us the money he makes from the wind turbines on his property saved his west Texas ranch, which has been in the family since 1880. But if you really want to get this Republican worked up, talk about the GOP’s attack on renewables. To Davis, it is a property rights issue, and he says his own party is trampling all over it. The rancher and former state lawmaker also tells the Jasons why he thinks energy has become so political in Texas… and the beer his 89-year-old aunt recommended for his Y’all-itics debut!

In the December 28 episode, Plano Mayor John Muns discusses the city’s effort to entice the Dallas Stars to move north, and how long it will take to fix those darn roads.

And San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones tells us about the opportunities and challenges facing her city in the year ahead.

As you’re making your naughty and nice list, so is the Y’all-itics team. In this special holiday episode, the team raises a toast, or offers jeers, for the Texas lawmakers, leaders and “landmen” who made a difference in the Lone Star state this year… both good and bad.

There is always some “nook or cranny” burning in Texas, the third most dangerous state for wildfires. As the risk continues to grow exponentially, the Texas A&M Forest Service, the state agency for wildfire response in Texas, asked lawmakers for the moon to help them better protect our backyards. Well, lawmakers gave the moon… and more. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Division Director for Fire & Emergency Response explains how they aren't wasting any time spending more than half a billion dollars on "game-changer" upgrades to respond to wildfires and other disasters in Texas.

In the December 14 episode, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett discusses the internal polling that helped her decide to enter the race for U.S. Senate, reshaping the 2026 Democratic primary. State Senator Paul Bettencourt explains why a plan to lower the age at which Texans could enjoy senior property tax exemptions from 65 to 55 is “transformative.” And U.S. Senator John Cornyn on why he’s asking for stringent vetting procedures for all Afghan nationals who’ve entered the country since 2021.

Alpha Schools say they’re revolutionizing education by harnessing the power of AI technology. No homework. No grades. And only two hours a day is spent on academics. But tuition isn’t cheap. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Lead Guide of Alpha Fort Worth joins the Jasons to explain the benefits and challenges of the AI learning model. And she dispels one common myth: humans, not robot teachers, are leading the way.

In the December 7 episode, acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock discusses key dates for the voucher program, and why he removed women and minorities from the state’s Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program, replacing them with disabled vets. State Senator Royce West tells us why he doesn’t think Hancock can do that and if he thinks the saga will end up in court. And Congressman Pat Fallon on why he still has confidence in the Secretary of War.
