    ICE Shooting In Houston

    A breaking news story out of Houston turns into a national argument in real time and we slow it down long enough to ask the only question that matters: what actually happened. We walk through ICE’s account of a targeted enforcement operation in Magnolia Park that ended with a fatal shooting, the immediate demands from activists and local officials for a locally led investigation, and the media framing that often avoids plain language about immigration status. I also lay out why it’s possible to want body cam footage, timelines, and transparency while refusing to presume guilt based on politics. Then we zoom out to the incentive problem. Brandon Waltens from Texas Scorecard joins me to explain Governor Greg Abbott’s directive for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to investigate Mission Regional Medical Center over alleged “birth packages” marketed across the border, including the now-removed “HaveMyBabyInTexas.com” branding. We connect birth tourism, visa fraud and taxpayer exposure to the broader fight over birthright citizenship and the Fourteenth Amendment, plus what Texas lawmakers might do next. We close with two Texas culture and policy updates: my take on James Talarico’s campaign outreach and the transactional logic of identity politics, and the Supreme Court’s decision to let Texas’ App Store Accountability Act take effect while courts continue to litigate it. That law requires parental consent before minors can download apps, putting child online safety, privacy, and digital accountability back on the table. ************************************************ 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!

    Data Centers And Water Rights In Rural Texas

    A town doesn’t have to be famous to become a test case for the whole state. We start with the Texarkana-area backlash to a proposed 500-acre data center and the concerns you keep hearing in rural Texas: water consumption, constant industrial noise, and decisions that feel like they happen behind closed doors. Then we zoom out to the bigger lesson a representative republic keeps trying to teach us the hard way: when ordinary people decide they are powerless, the powerful get everything they want. Next, we dig into Houston-area public safety and criminal justice after a murder suspect is alleged to have been out on multiple bonds despite a long criminal history and repeated violations. We make the case that justice is not cruelty and that consequences are preventative, especially when courts move slowly and “tolerance” gets treated like the highest virtue. That thread continues through domestic violence tragedies in Galveston County and what real accountability looks like when lives are at stake. The second hour turns to border security and human smuggling after the guilty plea tied to the 2022 San Antonio trailer deaths, and we talk incentives, assimilation, and the kind of national cohesion a country needs to survive. We close with the Texas Stock Exchange launching in Dallas and a pointed question for Texas conservatives: does “growth” actually serve Texans, or does it import the same corporatist ideology, especially with names like BlackRock in the mix?  ************************************************ 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!

    Border Smuggling Profits And The Case For A Total Immigration Moratorium

    Fireworks are easy. Keeping a country is hard. After a Fourth of July weekend, we lay out a blunt idea: America doesn’t stay free because it’s “a pretty cool country,” it stays free when citizens know what they believe, show up prepared, and fight for order, truth, and the foundations that built the nation. I connect patriotism to responsibility, and I argue that complacency is how a great country quietly becomes a doormat. We start with the border, using a DOJ case about a Mexican stash-house operator tied to an international human smuggling pipeline that moved thousands of illegal aliens into Texas and generated millions in profit. I explain why this isn’t just “people seeking a better life” but an incentive structure that empowers cartels, traffickers, and document networks. Then I make the policy case I know will spark debate: a total immigration moratorium that shuts down the whole machine, legal and illegal, until the pipeline is sealed and the country can have an honest reset. From there we go local and personal: Liberty County allegations involving a former police officer and a pastor become a bigger conversation about standards. If communities accept “good vibes” in place of integrity, we should not act surprised when institutions collapse. We also cover Texas governance with Governor Abbott appointing Don Huffines as Texas Comptroller, why that office matters for waste, transparency, and taxpayer stewardship, and why accountability can’t stop on Election Day. We close with Houston’s homelessness reality after a man is accused of spraying homeless and disabled people with a high-powered water gun for online clout, plus a look at proposed Sharia law restrictions and Ken Paxton freezing a porn site’s domain over age verification.  ************************************************ 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!

    How The Founding Fathers Built A Nation Of Virtue

    The Fourth of July gets reduced to fireworks, burgers, and noise, but I want to treat it like what it is: a public act of separation rooted in claims about God, rights, judgment, and providence. We walk through why July 4th matters, what the Declaration of Independence actually says, and why the founders kept tying liberty to duty and moral discipline instead of pretending freedom is moral neutrality. Then I put real names and real stories on the table. George Washington’s leadership is forged in early defeat and sustained through uncertainty, Valley Forge, and the temptation of military power. Patrick Henry shows the courage to speak first, Samuel Adams shows the grit of organization, John Witherspoon brings the doctrine of providence into public life, John Jay proves independence still has to be defended in diplomacy, Roger Sherman builds durable constitutional structure, and John Adams delivers the blunt warning that a constitution can’t hold if the people won’t govern themselves. The second hour turns to modern headlines and the same old questions: a court case involving Satanism evidence and future dangerousness, what religious liberty was designed to protect, and why beliefs and worship are never “just private” in their effects. We also confront violent gang crime and ask what makes “evil” more than a personal opinion. ************************************************ 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!

    Birthright Citizenship Is Hollowing Out American Identity

    A single oath can reveal a whole system. We start with a simple question that turns into a bigger one: if regular taxpayers get hammered for missing paperwork, why do powerful officials keep finding “technicalities” when the heat is on? That leads us into the Harris County fight over whether Commissioner Adrian Garcia effectively vacated his seat after serving on the Gulf Coast Protection District, and why the Texas Solicitor General siding with challenger Richard Vega matters for public trust, transparency, and the rule of law. From there we hit a few Texas stories that all orbit the same theme: accountability. We talk about the “war is good for the economy” myth and why honest American history should teach lessons, not just shame. We also cover the dropped Montgomery County assault charge against former Harris County prosecutor Gabriel Kabak, what “beyond a reasonable doubt” really means, and why the public still deserves clarity when a case disappears after a detailed arrest narrative. Plus, a quick Houston weather rundown as the Fourth of July weekend approaches, with heat index concerns and scattered rain chances. Then the episode’s biggest policy flashpoint: birthright citizenship and birth tourism. Texas Rep. Brian Harrison joins me with seven concrete proposals he wants Texas to pursue right now, including making birth tourism a felony and challenging whether Texas should be issuing state birth certificates to children of non-citizens. We wrap with a hard-edged argument about when written law collides with self-preservation, a deep critique of the 14th Amendment’s consequences, and a final headline that hits close to home: the allegation of nearly $1 million stolen from Tomball ISD tax deposits while property taxpayers get squeezed. ************************************************ 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!

    Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Ruling And The Texas Response

    The Supreme Court just handed down a birthright citizenship ruling that, in our view, changes the stakes of the immigration debate overnight. We start by unpacking why the Court struck down President Trump’s executive order and why the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction” matters so much to the definition of American citizenship. We also walk through the real-world pressure points critics point to: birth tourism, “anchor babies,” and the idea that citizenship becomes a legal accident instead of a guarded civic status tied to loyalty and allegiance. From there we pivot to Texas election security and a rare piece of good news for election integrity: the Supreme Court declines to hear a challenge to Texas’ ban on paid vote harvesting, leaving the Fifth Circuit decision in place. We explain how ballot harvesting creates risk for coercion and fraud, then ask a harder question that hangs over both stories: what does it even mean to protect elections if the electorate can be expanded by exploiting the border and the law? We also cover a UTMB Equal Pay Act lawsuit, then bring on Texas Scorecard reporter Travis Morgan to break down the Texas Supreme Court injunction blocking Harris County’s $1.3 million plan to fund legal defense for illegal immigrants. We close with Ken Paxton’s egg price-fixing settlement and a blunt conversation about capitalism, antitrust, and why “no regulation ever” isn’t a serious answer, plus a look at West Texas grid reliability and the wind and solar dependence driving major transmission line fights. ************************************************ 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!

    How The Texas Supreme Court Froze Harris County’s Immigrant Legal Fund

    Harris County tried to send $1.3 million in taxpayer money to groups supporting people in deportation proceedings, and the Texas Supreme Court just slammed the brakes on it. We walk through what the court actually ordered, why the Texas Constitution’s gift clause is at the center of the fight, and how this case could shape the future of “sanctuary” style programs in Texas without anyone using that label out loud. Then we shift to Ken Paxton’s nearly $34 million AstraZeneca settlement over alleged Medicaid-related kickbacks. I explain what a kickback scheme can look like in real life, why “patient support” programs can become marketing tools, and how healthcare fraud doesn’t just waste public funds, it also corrodes trust between patients and doctors. If you’ve ever wondered why taxpayers keep footing the bill while big systems keep getting bigger, this part connects the dots. We also hit two stories that show how fragile public order can be: an FBI Houston statement on an online threat tied to a major stadium hosting FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, and a look inside the Texas Democratic Convention that turns into a deeper conversation about culture, accountability, and what we’re willing to fight for. If these topics light a fire in you, you’re not alone. ************************************************ 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!

    Why Texas Schools Are Fighting Over History

    Patriotism gets reduced to slogans fast, but we are not interested in bumper-sticker love of country. We start with a blunt question: if you fly the flag but reject the nation’s history, its founding ideas, and the idea of a shared national identity, what exactly are you celebrating? From Fourth of July energy to the post-2020 backlash against “loving America,” we talk about why symbols matter only when they point to something real. From there, we move into Texas education news that actually shapes the next generation: State Board of Education votes on K-8 social studies standards, shifts in how history is taught, and reading list changes that include Jonah and the Whale plus a strong preference for printed books over digital in early grades. We explain why the lens matters when teaching slavery, segregation, and injustice, and why a chronological story of Texas history, American history, and Western civilization is a different project than training kids to feel shame. We also break down HISD’s decision to adopt the Texas Education Agency Blue Bonnet curriculum for elementary classrooms, including the arguments over biblical references, transparency, and state funding incentives. In the second hour, we hit big accountability stories: a Texas Supreme Court decision reopening a detransitioner medical malpractice lawsuit, a Montgomery County child indecency case and what due process demands, and a Fifth Circuit ruling that suppressors are protected by the Second Amendment even as National Firearms Act restrictions remain. We close with a powerful real-world reminder of grit: a Friendswood boy survives a shark attack because his older brother refuses to panic. ************************************************ 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!
