- Description
- The list of candidates has been finalized.
In March, members of both parties will nominate their respective candidates to represent them in the general election.
Those elections also include many local races, and in particular we look at those running for various Webb County positions.
Our panel breaks down key matchups, races to watch, and some races that left more questions than answers.
Then out of D.C., we examine how some House Texas Democrats are voicing concerns about potential compromises on an aid package to U.S. allies.
Sensing that they have the upper hand, Republicans have used the opportunity to ask for stronger border security provisions in exchange for support.
Watch our testy exchanges as differences in opinion fly on whose border we need to secure—Ukraine, the southern border, or both.
Wrapping up our show we share the one thing our panelists can’t stop thinking about.

While the city’s governing document is getting a review by an appointed commission, anybody can propose changes.

Then, a recent New York Times article on chases along the border has left some communities in South Texas uneasy.
Videos from our own newscasts have routinely showcased those kinds of feelings.
With recent court rulings on the state’s border buoys and razor wire, our panel discusses how the fight on immigration is far from over.
To close out the show, there’s always the one thing our panelists can’t stop thinking about.
