The Republic of Texas Radio w/ Steve OBrien, March 8, 2026 Hour 2

Everything is bigger in Texas, but lately, it feels like our circles are getting smaller. Today, we’re diving into the heavy cost of conviction—specifically, the friends we lose when we refuse to trade the truth for a quiet life. It’s a lonely road sometimes, but it’s the only one worth walking. From the personal to the political, we’re turning the spotlight on City Hall. It’s time for a real conversation about City Council accountability. If they want the seat, they’ve got to take the heat, and we’re bringing plenty of it today. Looking abroad, the drums of war are beating again, and the target is Iran. We’ll break down the headlines, the hype, and what an escalation in the Middle East actually means for those of us right here at home. And finally, you won’t want to miss my closing segment: ‘AI and the Dipstick.’ It’s a story about a ‘genius’ Large Language Model, a simple mechanical problem, and why common sense will always beat an algorithm in a fair fight.
