Only in Texas politics could you call someone "the biggest asshole" and it's in defense of that person. You'll want to hear what that has to do with a White House call to the Texas GOP this weekend and what Speaker Dustin Burrows' comments to the Republican Party might mean for the operations of the House. Then you'll get the scoop from El Paso, where the redistricting battle that led to a smackdown at the Texas Capitol this summer is now playing out in a federal courtroom. Jen Rice was one of the only reporters to hear all the arguments. She'll check in. Plus: What is Congressman Wes Hunt really doing with his bid for the US Senate? Some newly resurfaced audio of him might provide a clue. And Gov. Abbott's pissed at Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who spent some of the week mocking the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago and baiting Abbott into a bit of a debate involving hot dogs. Yes, really. Our producer is the famous Evan Sherer and the original music for the show is by Checkmayne in Houston.
