The Luke Macias Show

Today, we have over a dozen policies that have been passed in the last week, along with a crazy story about Ken Paxton being kicked off the House floor.

A lot of moving parts and a VERY important bill was significantly watered down by Chairman Jeff Leach. We break it all down for you mid-week because this stuff cannot wait. 

Matt Shaheen, the author of the weakening amendment to the China land ban, has backtracked and then doubled down on his weakening policy. Democrats erupted when conservatives pushed against a loan forgiveness program in Texas.

Today, we give you an overview of several key wins and multiple moving parts of the final push to get conservative polices across the finish line.

The Texas House honored a judge who tried to undermine Texas’s marriage laws, Texas casinos are trying to hijack a rezoning reform bill, and the Texas Senate is advancing a ban on illegals receiving discounted college tuition.

Dustin Burrows’ State Affairs chair is killing immigration, transgender, and taxpayer-related conservative policies. Today, we talk about the consequences of the more liberal committee appointments by the speaker and how it’s making things much harder to pass, even for bills already supported by a majority of the Texas House.

Texas House leadership is getting mad at members who are calling out their slow walking of Republican policy.

Not only did teacher unions take a major hit, but the largest abortion advocate in Texas history took a major loss this week. You need to hear a portion of this debate from the week. It’s wild. 

Today, we discuss the main vehicles for property tax reduction and the fact that the Texas Senate and House are both not moving on the very important E-Verify policy.

A chairman in the Texas House cut a deal with a powerful leadership-aligned Democrat and got caught. 

The session is more than halfway done, and one chamber has already racked up wins.

Representative Candy Noble has filed legislation to address some of the concerns Texans have with the Muslim City being created in North Texas. Brandon Gill has launched a nationwide conversation on judicial impeachments and multiple conservative policies are moving this week in Texas.

Men are still going into women’s restrooms in the capitol, a Texas congressman is a legend, and gambling is really, really dead.

Conservatives in Texas need to step up. It’s time to get more involved than ever before and today we break down just how to do that. You will hear some very practical steps you can take.

Today, we sit down with an opponent of school choice to discuss why they oppose the policy, and I share why I believe this bill will be good for Texas families and students.

Today, we sit down with Andy Hopper’s young female staffer about a man who approached her in the women’s restroom and discusses with Andy Hopper what actions he has taken to try to protect women in the Texas Capitol.

You can’t make this stuff up. To give both chambers the benefit of the doubt, we let you listen to the prayers given to kick off both days of their work. The contrast is truly incredible.

Why are some concerned about the delay tactics that have been used in the past and seem to be part of this session’s plan as well? Former speaker Dennis Bonnen called these critics unconstitutional, so let’s examine what the Texas Constitution says. Also, Governor Abbott has rolled out some strong emergency items which can be immediately passed by both chambers.

It’s been a very hectic week in the Texas House and today we break down the nuances of just how they empowered Democrats while trying to provide cover for the Burrows R’s.

Our Lieutenant Governor is setting a strong tone to start off our session. We also take time today to break down the types of policy that will be on the negotiating table between Burrows and the Democrats who elected him.

We have a speaker; it’s not who conservatives support, and it is who the Democrats chose, but this week has been a huge win for conservative Republicans.

The speaker’s vote is less than a week away. One of Dustin Burrows’s allies is attacking Abbott and Patrick over their calls for Republican unity. In the final week, things are getting testy on Team Burrows.

It’s taken 15 years to get Texas Republicans fully aware of the dangerous alliance that a small group of Republicans have formed with a majority Democrat coalition. In two weeks, the votes will be cast and a new speaker will be elected.

Merry Christmas to each of you. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for all that the grassroots of Texas has done this year.

Republicans are leaving Dustin Burrows weekly while a small handful of his cardinals are doubling down on their declaration of a civil war. Today, we break down all that is happening in the battle for the lower chamber.
