Summary
Texas congressional members are demanding that the Trump administration release a 5-year-old Minnesota boy and his father from a detention camp near San Antonio. Host Jeremy Wallace meets up with U.S. Reps Jasmine Crockett and Joaquin Castro, who talk about visiting the boy and his father this week in Dilley, Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott is among the Republicans suggesting that it may be time for the White House to “recalibrate” its mission as tensions boil over in Minnesota and beyond. Plus, reporter John Moritz of the Austin American-Statesman joins the program to help break down the first debate between Crockett and James Talarico. In addition, Wallace hits Houston's 18th Congressional District, where Amanda Edwards and Christian Menefee are making their final push to win that seat on Jan. 31. Finally, Houston Chronicle columnist Joy Sewing drops by to make sense of why U.S. Rep. Al Green is so upset with what she wrote recently. Learn more about your ad choices.
