A political party can say it’s pro-life, but the real test is whether it’s willing to apply equal protection under the law to the unborn. With the Texas GOP convention days away, I walk through the brewing platform fight over replacing strong “abolish abortion” language with a funding-focused approach tied to the Thriving Texas Families program. I’m not ضد helping moms, pregnancy resource centers, adoption services, or maternity homes. I’m saying money is not justice, and a government grant cannot replace the duty of the law to protect innocent human life.

Then we shift gears into something that hits families right where it hurts: Medicare penalties. Justin White from Senior Health Services joins me for Medicare Monday to explain who actually gets hit with Part B and Part D penalties, what “creditable coverage” really means, why employer coverage usually keeps you safe, and how one wrong assumption at 65 can turn into a lifelong monthly surcharge. If you’ve ever heard a scary story from a friend and wondered if it’s true, this is the clarity you’ve been missing.

We also dig into the postponed Pride Houston 365 parade and the bigger question behind it: the difference between private choices and public endorsement on taxpayer-owned streets, plus why public decency standards matter. To close, I cover Kerrville’s unconstitutional anti-solicitation ordinance and the fight over attorney’s fees, and I address the Brazoria County deputy shooting case where public grief collides with demands for immediate charges, and where due process still has to mean something.

An “Ebola dashboard” launches in Harris County right as officials tell Houston there’s nothing to worry about, and that contradiction sets the tone for a packed Friday show. I walk through what the dashboard is supposed to do, how airport screening and monitoring would work during a surge of international travel, and why public health messaging can feel less like transparency and more like a signal that something bigger is coming.

From there, I hit several Texas stories that reveal how quickly policy becomes personal: a Round Rock Pride festival and the debate over Texas Senate Bill 12, the New World screwworm response in South Texas with quarantine zones and sterile fly releases, and the weekend Houston weather outlook with storm-driven flooding risk. Each one raises the same practical question: what should government enforce, what should it promote, and what does it owe families who just want clear rules and honest communication?

In the second hour, I’m joined by Charles Blaine from Urban Reform for a Houston local recap focused on FIFA World Cup planning, extreme heat risk, a security perimeter near NRG, and the political tension around ICE being “on site.” We also dig into Houston’s budget drama and fee proposals, plus education and fraud stories that show how messy governance gets when accountability is optional.

To close, I break down the U.S. Supreme Court settlement ending the Rio Grande water dispute between Texas and New Mexico, and I give my take on Ken Paxton’s investigation into energy drink marketing and high caffeine products like Celsius and Alani.

A flesh-eating livestock parasite just crossed from “far away” to “detected in Texas,” and that should change how we think about border security, agriculture, and basic competence. We walk through what the New World screwworm is, why ranchers and border counties are sounding alarms, and why the food supply and Texas economy do not get protected by press releases and social media arguments. If prevention is easier than eradication, then speed, coordination, and listening to the people closest to the threat are the whole game.

From there, we pivot to school safety in the Houston area as Cy-Fair ISD runs a full-scale active threat exercise. I’m glad districts prepare for the worst day, but I’m not willing to pretend it’s normal that schools have to practice for violence. We talk about the deeper cultural problem behind school attacks, the formation of young men, and why responsibility, discipline, and moral clarity matter more than another round of blame and slogans.

We also cover a troubling Houston cyberstalking case connected to “incel” ideology, then shift into practical Second Amendment realities with news that Arms Room Radio is joining the Patriot Talk 920 lineup. We dig into what responsible armed citizenship looks like, why training increases even in constitutional carry states, and one key legal takeaway after any self-defense incident: get a lawyer and stop talking.

We close with two big Texas accountability stories: the TEA’s new Student Protection Resource Center and Houston’s proposed budget, including the debated $5 trash administrative fee and the public trust crisis it reveals.
