Episode Synopsis
                            As Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tries to untangle himself from the web of poor choices and lies that led him to flee to Cancun during a statewide emergency, then slink back home, blaming the episode on his young children, Ali Velshi checks in with local and state officials who stuck around Texas to help their fellow citizens: Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher, former HUD Secretary Julian Castro, and Mayors Michael Evans and Larry Wallace, Jr. Velshi is also joined by Congressman Bennie Thompson, who’s suing former President Donald Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Dr. Ebony Hilton, Civil Rights veteran Galyn Vesey who participated in one of America’s first lunch counter sit-ins in Wichita, KS, and a panel of activists and ordinary folks from Birmingham, AL who reflect on Black history in their storied city and across the country and what it means to be Black in America today.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
