    From Ken Paxton’s WPATH Lawsuit To Harris County Flood Control Chaos

    A million dollars in cocaine gets seized at the border and the first feeling is relief. We get why, but we also ask the uncomfortable follow-up: if nearly 74 pounds is caught in two stops, what’s slipping through the cracks, and what does that poison do once it hits Texas streets? We start with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joining a multistate effort against WPATH, alleging deceptive practices around pediatric gender medicine and the way “standards of care” get marketed to parents. From there, we pull the thread on institutional credibility: what “trust the science” has meant in recent years, how risk gets minimized, and why ordinary people have to become far more informed consumers of medical claims. Then we go local with the stories that hit your wallet and your neighborhood. Harris County Flood Control faces leadership upheaval while Harvey mitigation money and project deadlines hang over the county, and we break down why that chaos matters in a region where flooding is not theoretical. We also cover Conroe ISD trustees rejecting a TASB governing seat, and Charles Blain from Urban Reform joins us for the weekly local recap covering alleged homestead exemption fraud, the World Cup tourism hype falling flat for restaurants, and new data showing more Harris County households renting instead of owning. We close with the Texas GOP’s 2027 legislative priorities and a blunt border reality check: drug seizures are a warning sign, not a victory lap. ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!

    Texas Can Fix Crises When It Tells The Truth

    The fastest way to lose your grip on reality is to let headlines do your thinking for you. We start by calling out how clickbait media and “outrage wording” shape your emotions even when you swear you’re staying objective, then we bring that same skepticism to the biggest Texas stories on the board right now. We dig into two Laredo cases tied to human smuggling and assaults on federal agents, using them to argue that the southern border crisis is not just desperation but a criminal business model with real physical consequences. From there, we pivot to the New World screwworm outbreak in South Texas: the free online screwworm training Texans can take, what it teaches, how it can expand the inspector pool, and why federal funding for the Texas Animal Health Commission is a rare example of government cooperation that actually looks like basic civil order and food supply protection. Then the pace stays local and practical: Fort Bend County’s mosquito health emergency and aerial spraying plans, the trust gap that makes people doubt “solutions,” and a Houston heat advisory outlook. In the second hour, we take on the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and its summer leadership institutes, why training pipelines and continuing education credits can become power pipelines, and how parents get treated like a communications problem instead of a constituency. We also cover the Lone Star College Tomball lockdown over an alleged rifle threat, the predictable push for gun control, and the deeper cultural questions nobody wants to argue honestly. We close with a big-money grid story as Texas utility regulators pause parts of a major high-voltage transmission line plan, plus an extradition update in a Harris County capital murder case that spotlights bond failures and the slow gears of justice.  ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!

  3. How Austin Spending, Car Kill Switches, And Schools Collide

    How Austin Spending, Car Kill Switches, And Schools Collide

    Your city says it needs more money. Your state agency says it’s “encouraged.” Washington says it’s doing this for your safety. We slow down and ask the only question that matters: are the people in charge earning the trust they demand? We start with Austin’s budget records and the growing backlash to municipal spending, including millions in grants routed through “family and social services” to nonprofits involved in sexual health services and youth programming. That leads straight into the push for independent outside audits, why internal reviews are not enough, and what transparency should look like when taxpayers are asked to fund bigger budgets and higher tax rates. From there, we move to enforcement and consequences. Fort Bend County Judge KP George’s sentencing on money laundering charges raises the uncomfortable issue of whether punishments match the seriousness of betraying public trust. Then we tackle the federal vehicle kill switch mandate, where “passive monitoring” sounds like safety until you consider privacy, Fourth Amendment concerns, and what happens when technology makes real-time decisions without due process. In the second hour, Texas Scorecard’s Sidney Henry joins us to unpack the Texas Tech eligibility fight tied to sports betting, plus how DEI efforts persist in higher education through rebranding, conferences, and new language. We close with a gut-check on Texas STAAR results and why reading and math proficiency are not just school issues, they are freedom issues. ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!

  4. Who Benefits When Texas “Wins”

    Who Benefits When Texas “Wins”

    Texas is piling up wins on the scoreboard: companies relocating, jobs being announced, GDP projections climbing. But we don’t let a booming headline do our thinking for us. We ask the question underneath the celebration: who is that growth actually for, and what does it cost ordinary Texans trying to buy a first home, raise kids, and live without getting crushed by property taxes, insurance, and rising bills? From there, we dig into the policy mechanics that can quietly turn “pro business” into corporate welfare. We talk targeted incentives, government picking winners, and why Texans should be skeptical when big companies claim they “can’t find” workers while American grads get auto-rejected. We also walk through the Houston controller’s investigation into a senior advisor in the Mayor Whitmeyer administration, and what real accountability looks like when the paycheck is funded by taxpayers. Remote work is possible, but deliverables and oversight should be provable. Then we shift to culture and institutions. A higher education conference shows how DEI can survive by changing its vocabulary into words like belonging and culturally responsive pedagogy. We lay out what transparency and reform should look like, and why strong families and present fathers matter more than most policymakers want to admit. We also cover Southeast Texas flooding risks and a disaster declaration, plus a letter from attorneys general urging the EPA to review mifepristone as a potential drinking water contaminant and what that says about consequences that never stay private. ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!

  5. Identity Politics And Why Accountability Still Matters

    Identity Politics And Why Accountability Still Matters

    Loyalty feels good until it starts excusing the very thing we claim to oppose. We take a hard look at identity politics on the right and the left, and why treating politicians like untouchable symbols makes accountability impossible and bad policy inevitable. We walk through a major Texas election integrity fight over open primaries vs closed primaries, including Governor Greg Abbott’s convention remarks backing closed Republican primaries. Then we test the “great speech” moment against the quieter decisions that actually shape Texas for years, like appointments to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. If higher education is already a battleground over DEI, compelled speech, and ideological capture, who gets appointed matters as much as what gets applauded on stage. From there, we widen the lens: a Harris County judge reportedly absent from court while still drawing a public salary, a Texas Supreme Court ruling that limits state power in an eminent domain repurchase dispute, and a Discovery Green teen takeover that forces Houston police into crowd control and gunfire response. We also bring in Medicare Monday with Justin White to explain where Medicare Advantage is heading, why PPO plans are under pressure, when to expect real plan details, and what the Annual Notice of Change in September can reveal about cancellations, networks, and benefits. ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!

    Texas GOP Convention Day 1

    Texas politics looks very different when you’re standing on the floor of the State Republican Convention with thousands of delegates, real arguments, and real stakes. We’re live from Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Center talking to candidates and grassroots voices about what conservatives want to see between now and November and what they’re still frustrated isn’t getting done in Austin. Brian Harrison joins me first to talk about why Texas can’t “coast” on its reputation for limited government while budgets grow and internal GOP power fights keep conservatives from getting results. We get specific about the Republican identity crisis, the battle over the Texas House, and why school choice has become the clearest line between slogans and action. I also break down the latest Texas Education Freedom Accounts update, what families can use it for, and why many parents see the current system as taxation without real educational choice. Then Don Huffines lays out what the Texas comptroller actually controls, why audits matter, and what “Doge Texas” means in practice, from rooting out waste to enforcing guardrails on agencies. Brandon Herrera joins to talk representation in Texas District 23, codifying border wins so they can’t be undone by the next administration, and how border policy connects to problems most people don’t expect. We also talk with 15-year-old Benjamin about debate, faith, leadership, and why young people can still be serious civic players. Finally, Nate Sheets breaks down the New World Screwworm threat, why agriculture is national security, and how food policy, consolidation, and consumer health collide in Texas. ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!

    Texas GOP Convention Day 2

    Live from the Texas GOP State Convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center, we sit down with voices shaping the legal and political fights Texans argue about every day, and we keep the focus on what actually happens when theory meets the real world.  First, we talk self-defense and gun rights with Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Richard Hayes, who explain why Texas law is not a one-size-fits-all problem and why their new Ready2Act membership is built around three moments that matter most: before an incident (education and personal legal guidance), during an incident (an emergency attorney hotline), and after an incident (criminal and civil defense). We get specific about the 911 call, what you should say, when you should stop talking, and how adrenaline and memory gaps can turn a “helpful” statement into a long-term legal trap under Texas self-defense law and Chapter 9 realities.  Then we shift to the abortion debate with Bradley Pierce from Abolish Abortion Texas, focusing on equal protection, intent, and why activism inside party platforms and legislative priorities becomes a battleground. We also hit Houston’s budget fight and new fees, the role of grassroots clubs like Cypress Republicans, and what it looks like to run where the party usually doesn’t, with congressional candidate Martha Fiero talking crime, affordability, and community basics like access to grocery stores. We close with plans from the newly elected chair of the Republican Party of Texas D'rinda Randall on get-out-the-vote, voter registration, youth engagement, and staying active after Election Day.  ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!

    Inside The Texas GOP Convention And The Grassroots Push To Win November

    Unity gets preached a lot at political conventions, but we’re not interested in unity as a slogan. Broadcasting from the Republican Party of Texas convention in Houston, we talk about what we’re seeing on the floor, what Texas leaders are calling for heading into November, and why grassroots conservatives cannot be treated like a mailing list that only matters at election time. We make the case that unity is only worth having when it’s built around truth, conviction, and accountability, not comfort or consultant-approved silence. Then we pivot hard into Houston headlines that reveal how messy power can get. We break down the ex Turkey Leg Hut owner pleading guilty to a federal arson conspiracy tied to the firebombing of a rival bar, and we explain why plea agreements happen so often and what they do and do not prove. From there, we take on the AI boom from a Texas perspective: data centers, electricity demand, ERCOT’s load queue, and why natural gas and nuclear energy keep coming up in any serious conversation about reliability and national security. Our weekly local recap features Charles Blaine from Urban Reform, covering Houston’s budget debate, transparency amendments, Chapter 380 incentives, and the real-world cost of overlapping law enforcement agencies. We also dig into local pushback on data centers, World Cup frustrations, and the spread of Flock cameras and mass surveillance. We close with the New World Screwworm response effort and Ken Paxton’s opinion on so called skill-based gambling machines, plus why the modern gambling industry is designed to exploit desperation. ************************************************ Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!
