Texas Standard For May 4, 2018
Smuggling across the border with Mexico. You might be surprised what’s in that duffel bag. Border agents certainly were. We’ll have the latest. Also: Do you remember Jade Helm? A U.S. military operation that was seen by many on the right as a kind of blueprint for a Federal takeover? Now hear this: an allegation that Jade Helm was really a beta test for Russia messing with the 2016 elections. We’ll hear more. Also: In what is arguably the gun-friendliest state in the union, a weekend long celebration of gun rights as the NRA holds its annual convention in Dallas. We’ll have a view from the ground zero. Plus: The week in Texas politics and a whole lot more today on the Texas Standard.
