In this episode of Texas Talks, Brad Swail sits down with Dr. Mark P. Jones—Rice University professor and political analyst—to break down the inner workings of Texas politics. They dive into Elon Musk’s influence on the Texas Legislature, the balance of wealth and political power, the evolution of conservative dominance in the state, and what Javier Milei’s drastic reforms in Argentina teach us about shrinking government.
