  • Who Are You Going to Complain to Now Texas?

    Who Are You Going to Complain to Now Texas?
    Feb 23 2025
    t definitely doesn't have a catchy name: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. But our guest this week says, "if you're returning almost $20 billion to ordinary people, you've got to be doing something right". In the past several years, dissatisfied and frustrated Texas consumers have comprised the most---or second most---number of people turning to the CFPB for help taking on 'Big Finance'.

    Feb 9 2025
    The Trump Administration wants Mexico and Canada to stop the illegal flow of the deadly drug fentanyl into America. But those countries say America has blood on its hands, too, and it must stop the illegal flow of U.S. firearms in the other direction. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons have a pint with WFAA Senior Crime and Justice Reporter Rebecca Lopez to discuss her recent investigation into the U.S. gun smuggling causing havoc and violence in Canada and Mexico and how the countries are working together – and often against each other - to stem the tide.
