The Republic of Texas Radio w/ Steve OBrien, March 1, 2026 Hour 1

On the March 1, 2026, episode of The Republic of Texas Radio, host Steve O’Brien dives into a world on the brink, starting with the explosive developments of “Operation Epic Fury” and the confirmed death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, as reported by Press TV. O’Brien questions the official narrative and the collapsing trust in mainstream media as the drums of war beat louder. Shifting to the domestic front, the show breaks down the new “California-style” digital mandates, where even Linux users are being forced into the same ID-tracking systems as Windows, effectively ending the era of anonymous computing. The discussion then turns to the state of global intelligence, debating whether humanity is facing a cognitive decline or a “Global Intelligence Crisis” as AI takes the wheel. Finally, the show looks at the “spec inflation” hitting the tech world, with RAM prices doubling overnight, leaving the average citizen priced out of the hardware needed to maintain digital independence.
