Council Member Bowie Hogg takes our questions on whether voters should get a say in it. And state Senator Royce West, D-Dallas, says his 1999 law to help minority- and women-owned state businesses get a cut of state contracts needs some tweaking - even as he defends it in court.","meta_description":"In the April 19 episode, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pushes back against proposed budget cuts to NASA and argues that Iran will not be a forever war.…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1305,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/y-all-itics-637213/episodes/inside-texas-politics-ted-cruz-royce-west-bowie-hogg-and-the-pushback-to-proposed-federal-budget-cuts-to-nasa-after-artemis-ii-s-success/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/y-all-itics-637213/inside-texas-politics-ted-cruz-royce-west-bowie-hogg-and-the-pushback-to-proposed-federal-budget-cuts-to-nasa-after-artemis-ii-s-success.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
