Special Guest Texas State Rep. Briscoe Cain, Shares his thoughts on the upcoming Texas Speaker of the House Election Process!

"We’ve negotiated far too much with the democrats…and it’s time for a new speaker."

"Let’s have a speaker that represents the conservative movement, it’s about time. It’s happening, the question is 'who'."

"We come together after the November election…right now a majority of those members have said they want a speaker who will not appoint democrat chairs, they want a speaker who will put school choice up front…make it a priority…the majority are planning on voting for someone else." ~ Rep. Briscoe Cain
