Texas Politics Past and Future

On the heels of the Texas Legislative Special Session, the Texas Tribune's Evan Smith joins us to walk us through what happened and why.

He will also do a very personal preview of the upcoming Texas Tribune Festival. The festival has brought together more than 250 speakers to discuss topics including education, climate change, the presidency and the role of media in 2017.
