The $533 Million Texas Factory That Made Nothing
The headline is stunning enough: “Fiasco in the Factory: Taxpayers Funded a $533 Million Artillery Plant That Made Nothing”. But the details in the story that follow are even more extraordinary: crashing robotic machines, equipment catching fire, and an artillery shell that was supposed to be smooth coming out shaped like a soft serve ice cream swirl. The Jasons are joined by the ProPublica reporter who broke the blockbuster story on a Mesquite, Texas plant where he says taxpayers got nothing for the big bucks they spent. And more reports are coming. Note: Y’all-itics reached out to General Dynamics to give them a chance to respond to the details of the ProPublica report and/or to join the podcast discussion and they declined comment and passed on an interview. We tried reaching out to Repkon with the same offers for their response and didn’t hear back. Guest: Jesse Coburn, Reporter at ProPublica The full Pro Publica Report: https://www.propublica.org/article/general-dynamics-artillery-factory-failed

Texas Lawmakers Gave $630 million to Fight Wildfires, But Another Big Ask is Coming
At least 90,000 acres burned. More than two million gallons of water and half-a-million gallons of fire retardant dropped. The Ross Fire in Jack and Palo Pinto Counties is still going strong nearly two weeks after the human-caused blaze ignited. It comes just as The Texas A&M Forest Service, the state agency behind wildfire response, is in the process of spending $630 million lawmakers provided in 2025 for “game changer” upgrades, including aircraft that will coordinate aerial firefighting, helicopters that can carry hundreds of gallons of water and large air tankers to drop the retardant. But the Ross Fire proves there is never enough. And in this episode of Y’all-itics, you’ll learn why next year, they’ll ask lawmakers for even more; this time focused on humans instead of equipment. GUEST Jared Karns, Division Director for Fire & Emergency Response/Texas A&M Forest Service

Two Besties Fight Over One Data Center
This is the data center story you haven't heard. The Town of Westlake is ready to approve a new data center inside its town limit. But it's going to sit 500-feet away from a subdivision in Keller. Shouldn't a town be able to make its own decisions? But what happens to families who invested in a home never expecting a new industrial neighbor? It's presenting a new problem, and one mayor is pleading with the state for guidance. GUEST Teresa Woodard, WFAA Anchor/Senior Reporter
