You Do Not Win A Culture War By Complaining

A new Spider-Man movie kicks off a surprisingly serious argument: conservatives do not get culture back by being correct, they get it back by making good art and then actually supporting it. We talk about why so much “Christian” or conservative media fails to reach normal people, how propaganda can be used for good, and why the real enemy is bland, low-effort content that never competes for attention in the first place.Then we shift into hard news with two immigration stories that expose how policy drifts when it runs on emotion. We cover bond being denied for an 18-year-old from El Salvador charged in two separate Houston murder cases, and we unpack a separate case involving a Kenyan woman detained after years of ICE check-ins despite a final order of removal. The throughline is uncomfortable but clear: a government that delays enforcement for years creates chaos, heartbreak, and headlines that make consistent law-and-order decisions even harder later.In our weekly local recap, Charles Blaine joins me to break down Houston and Harris County issues you won’t hear explained this plainly: the massive growth of Flock license plate reader networks and the surveillance risks that come with weak safeguards, Metro’s Katy bus project ballooning from hundreds of millions to far more, flood maps that may be underestimating risk for hundreds of thousands of residents, and a “Houston AC for All” ordinance that sounds compassionate but may collapse under cost and enforcement reality. We also talk about his transition from Urban Reform to Local Insights and why better data tools can change how the public holds local government accountable.We close with HISD’s fight over explicit library content and a lawsuit that raises a simple question about standards: if it’s too obscene to read at a board meeting, why is it available to students? Then we hit a new Fox News poll on Ken Paxton vs James Talarico and end where we began: winning requires showing up. ************************************************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!
