If You Lose The Culture You Lose The Vote

If politics feels like it’s getting weirder every year, we make the case that it’s because policy isn’t the driver, culture is. I start by laying out why hearts and minds rarely change during debates or campaign stops, and why the stories we tell through schools, movies, social media, and everyday habits quietly decide what voters will demand from government later.From there, we get specific with Texas news: Attorney General Ken Paxton escalates pressure on Austin ISD over allegations tied to sex-based private spaces and the Texas Women’s Privacy Act. We also break down a major Hurricane Harvey development after a federal judge sides with Houston-area homeowners who say the government’s decision to open the Addicks and Barker dam gates caused additional flooding and should trigger compensation under a takings theory.The hour stays packed with Houston and statewide updates, including a quick weather look, a great conversation with Dr. Bruce Brinson from the Houston Gun Collectors Association about the NRA Convention in Houston and their upcoming collectors show, plus a deep dive into the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that revives Texas’ congressional map. We also talk about the Northwest Mall demolition tied to the proposed Dallas–Houston high-speed rail terminal and the concerns that come with eminent domain and taxpayer funding. Finally, we close on a sobering cybersecurity headline: an alleged Chinese contract hacker extradited to Houston to face federal charges tied to COVID-19 research theft and Microsoft Exchange intrusions.************************************************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!
