Remembering 9/11 And The Lessons We Missed

The stories we tell ourselves after tragedy shape everything that comes next. On this show, I look back at 9/11 with a simple focus: not internet rabbit holes, but the moral reality of evil and the question of what America should have learned. We talk about why “never again” can’t just mean new agencies, broader surveillance, and more intrusive airport security, and why the bigger challenge is cultural strength, national sovereignty, and the duty we owe our neighbors and our countrymen.From there, we move into Texas headlines that hit close to home. A judge gets disciplined after requiring COVID-19 vaccination or negative tests as a condition for child visitation, and we dig into how “best interest” arguments can collide with parental rights and constitutional limits. We also break down HISD’s push to partner with pre-K centers to boost enrollment, why early childhood education matters, and why many parents don’t trust big institutions getting access to kids even earlier.In the second hour, Charles Blaine joins me for a Houston-area local recap: the backlash against Flock license plate reader cameras, who really has access to the data, and why some cities are reversing course. We cover property taxes and budget fights in Waller and Harris County, Houston’s no-property-tax-hike stance alongside the trash fee debate, and deed theft protections that expose the hypocrisy around ID standards. We also hit a disturbing University of Houston investigation tied to child sexual exploitation discussions, plus a Fifth Circuit decision keeping Texas’ in-state tuition ban for illegal immigrants intact and what that means for limited college seats.************************************************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!
