Part One: The Voice of Texas, Scott Braddock with the latest Lone Star updates. Topics include: Dave Carney’s advice to the GOP, the race for Speaker of the Texas House, Mark Cuban, Amazon, the bathroom bill that won’t die, construction jobs, immigration and more.

Part Two: Professor Behzad Mirashem from the UNH Law School talks to us about the bail system; cash bail, surety, bail bondsmen, and how the bail system disproportionately impacts the poor. He estimates that a quarter of the people in jail in NH right now are there because they can’t afford bail.
