Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger joined the show this morning to discuss a handful of topics, but we first had to ask him about the latest news from Texas. That's where two men wearing body armor drove up to an event featuring cartoon images of Mohammed and began shooting at a security officer with assault rifles...

Somewhere, wherever he may be, Leslie Nielsen is smiling. Or laughing out loud. A city council meeting in Texas gets a little comic relief when a councilman forgets to turn off his lapel microphone as he heads off to the bathroom during the meeting...

Riley and I were excited to welcome back Congressman Pete Sessions of Texas to the show this week. He also serves as part of the leadership team in the House as Rules Committee Chairman.

The Illinois Policy Institute took a deeper look at the numbers: Illinois’ private-sector jobs loss came against a gain of 1,000 government jobs, leaving the state with a net loss of 6,800 payroll posi

While in Washington, Riley & I had the opportunity to visit the offices of Congressman Pete Sessions of Texas, who also serves as Rules Committee Chairman. Why he thinks it's a good use of his time to hang out with two yahoos from Illinois is anyone's guess, but we're happy about it. ...
