The finding
What the evidence shows
The legislative session the guest mentioned was the 76th Texas Legislature, which met from January 12 to May 31, 1999, not a California session in 2000. The remark was made by the guest, not the host. The guest said he worked for the state Senate while living in Texas, and the session dates do not match the year 2000 he gave.
