    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!

    Fort Bend County’s Power Struggle Shows Why Procedure Matters

    A $2 billion school budget that still bakes in a deficit is a flashing warning light, not a rounding error. We start with the Texas education finance squeeze, looking at HISD’s projected shortfall, Cy-Fair ISD’s $80.9 million gap, and the familiar pattern of districts leaning toward tax increases and one-time patches while families keep asking the same question: where is the money going, and what are we getting for it? That leads straight into school choice and why enrollment declines, academic results, and basic stewardship have become inseparable in the public debate. Then we zoom out to state policy fights that don’t stay inside state lines. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins a coalition challenging California’s Plastics Act, arguing it raises costs and exports California regulation nationwide. I also wrestle with the tougher angle: if we want state sovereignty, how do we stay logically consistent when different states regulate what comes in and out? From there, we hit Houston’s financial headlines as S&P Global Ratings revises the city’s outlook from negative to stable, plus what that does and does not mean for the city’s long-term fiscal reality. Hour two brings in Charles Blaine from Urban Reform for a sharp local recap, including the Fort Bend County interim judge showdown, Harris County’s new flood control director, and Lina Hidalgo’s World Cup ticket spending story. We close with a federal judge blocking USDA SNAP waivers that restricted junk food purchases, the Make America Healthy Again argument over welfare incentives, a disturbing indictment involving a Houston police officer, and the SBOE fight over removing key Revolutionary War battles from social studies standards.  ************************************************ 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 Faith Language Gets Weaponized In Texas Politics

    A single sentence can go viral, but it can also hide the real story. We dig into the resurfaced James Talarico podcast clip where he calls himself “a Christian who hates Christianity,” then pull it apart the way voters should: what he means, how the context changes the claim, and why conservatives lose ground when they argue about isolated soundbites instead of the underlying pattern. From there, we shift to public safety and accountability with the federal convictions and massive prison sentences tied to the July 4 Antifa attack on an ICE detention facility, including the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer. I also wrestle with the uncomfortable overlap between modern tracking tools (cell data, cameras, broader surveillance capabilities) and the reality that organized extremist cells exist and do real harm. You can reject a surveillance state and still demand swift justice for violent attacks, and we try to hold that line clearly. We hit Houston news too: the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo announces a roughly $300 million expansion with a new arena and agricultural complex aimed at splitting events between NRG and a second site by 2029. Then it’s back to Texas policy and money, with the state seeking reimbursement for billions spent on Operation Lone Star after the Biden-era border crisis, plus a frank discussion of Washington’s spending habits and the national debt problem nobody seems willing to solve. We also cover the Fort Bend County fight over interim county judge authority, the Texas SBOE vote on a new required reading list that includes Bible passages, and a Texas Senate hearing focused on ESG and DEI influence, voter registration enforcement gaps, and abortion pill ban enforcement. ************************************************ 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 Texas Conservatives Argue Abortion Penalties And IVF Policy

    A single headline can steer an entire public debate, and today we slow down long enough to ask what’s actually being claimed and what must follow if the claim is true. We take on the Houston Chronicle framing of the Texas GOP platform, especially the language around abortion, criminal penalties, and IVF, and we walk through the uncomfortable consistency test at the center of pro-life politics: if abortion is treated as homicide from fertilization, what does equal protection under the law require, and what does “illegal” mean if nobody is ever held accountable?  From there, we shift to fresh UT Texas Politics Project polling and what it suggests about the U.S. Senate race and other statewide matchups. We also dig into growing public opposition to data centers in Texas, where concerns about artificial intelligence growth collide with local reality: grid strain, infrastructure upgrades, water use, and the fear that everyday ratepayers get stuck with the bill while communities absorb the disruption. Polls may show a partisan edge, but we argue that numbers can create the most dangerous political emotion of all: complacency.  Then I’m joined by Robert Montoya from Texas Scorecard to unpack the Permian Basin Reliability Plan and the proposed 765 kilovolt transmission lines, including the rushed 180-day PUC process, notice concerns for landowners, and the mind-bending long-term price tag being discussed. We close with a run of accountability stories, from a massive Houston recycling fire after prior citations to a federal probe into a fatal Tesla crash in Katy and a Texas Supreme Court decision tied to SpaceX beach closures, all pointing back to the same question: who answers before the next crisis?  ************************************************ 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!
