In the February 1 episode, Congressman Chip Roy explains why he thinks he can avoid a runoff in a crowded and chaotic Republican race for Texas Attorney General. U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson on the tough questions she says she’ll ask when the leader of ICE testifies before her committee. And acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock provides a checklist for Texas parents days before they can sign up for the school voucher program.

There are more than 18 million registered voters in Texas. And the federal government now knows a heck of lot more about each and every one of them. The state of Texas turned over its complete voter roll to the Trump Administration, along with all of the personal information it includes, from DOBs to driver’s license numbers to the last four digits of their social security. The move has raised concern, criticism, and confusion. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons get some answers from Votebeat reporter Natalia Contreras who recently broke the story.

In the January 25 episode, Congressman Keith Self discusses the controversial ICE tactics being used in Minneapolis and why, absent a complete list of known criminals, innocent citizens might get caught up in the dragnet. Dallas City Council Member Paul Ridley tells us why a one city, one vote solution to the DART crisis is “not realistic.” And state Senator Mayes Middleton explains why he’s more “MAGA” than his primary opponents in the race for Attorney General.

Less than three weeks before parents can start applying for vouchers, and new numbers indicate parents might not have as much “choice” as lawmakers originally thought. Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock, who oversees the voucher program, revealed the numbers to WFAA anchor Dia Wall in an exclusive interview. And in this episode of Y’all-itics, she unveils the figures to the Jasons over a pint at the Manhattan Project Beer Company.

In the January 18 episode, Congressman Jake Ellzey explains why he thinks President Trump’s saber-rattling is sending a strong message to our enemies worldwide. Pastor Frederick D. Haynes III tells us why he doesn’t consider himself leaving the pulpit even though he’s running for Texas’ 30th congressional district. And former state Representative Barbara Mallory Caraway, also running for the 30th district, discusses why she thinks her experience is why voters should send her to Congress.

In the January 11 episode, Congressman Roger Williams explains why he doesn’t think boots are needed on the ground in Greenland, and why he sees that territory as a “business deal” and selling Venezuela’s oil as a good business plan. State Rep. James Talarico touts his fundraising prowess and discusses why Texas voters should choose him for U.S. Senate. And the Dallas Business Journal’s Will Anderson talks about why AT&T is abandoning downtown Dallas.

After six months of tumultuous change inside Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, from eliminating bag fees and open seating to talk of European flights and partnerships with other international carriers, CEO Bob Jordan promised the airline would keep evolving. “We won't stop here,” Jordan told the Jasons on this episode, “we're gonna keep changing."

The impact of this corporate relocation will be felt in Texas for decades: AT&T moving its headquarters from downtown Dallas to Plano, a suburb 30 minutes north. For Dallas, it’s an economic hit in the billions of dollars. For Plano, it’s another corporate coup. But it raises plenty of questions. Do downtowns even matter anymore? Does the relocation influence the Mavericks or Stars? Can Dallas recover? In this episode of Y’all-itics, Will Anderson, editor-in-chief of the Dallas Business Journal, answers some of those questions with the Jasons at the Katy Trail Outpost in Plano, another Dallas institution that’s expanded north.

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.
