Podcast Overview

Host Anthony Holm is a serious and strongminded conservative who challenges all sides of ideas and policy. Anthony connects everyday Americans to the issues that matter most in courtrooms, the Texas Capitol and our state and nation. With the Constitution under fire, the Texas Legislature as opaque as at any time in recent memory, and elections approaching, Anthony delivers clarity for conservative listeners seeking direction. This show is made for working-class Americans who are tired of media fluff and detachment of the elites. Anthony is a campaign strategist, public debater and father of two. Whether dissecting state policy or defending the Constitution, Anthony leads with conviction, grit and a truckload of Texas common sense.

HISD Removed Her for Reading a School Library Book. Now She's Suing.

<p>Houston ISD officials removed conservative activist Bonnie Wallace from a March 19 public meeting after she began reading an explicit passage from Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Silver Flames. Wallace says the book was available at at least three HISD high schools. She is now suing the district, Board President Ric Campo and Board Vice President Angela Lemond Flowers in federal court.</p><p>The lawsuit alleges HISD violated Wallace’s First Amendment rights by silencing her viewpoint and removing her from the meeting. Those claims remain allegations and have not been decided by a court.</p><p>Anthony Holm examines the conflict between the school library shelf and the public microphone. He also discusses Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary, Gov. Greg Abbott’s $25 million effort to improve Republican performance in Harris County and his own prediction that Ryan Patrick may eventually seek the lieutenant governor’s office. No Ryan Patrick campaign has been announced.</p><p>The episode closes with the McKinney City Council’s 7-0 approval of a site plan for the McKinney Islamic Association. City staff said the plan complied with existing development requirements and did not require a zoning change.</p>

Fauci Says One Thing and Does Another

<p>Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment at a Senate hearing after the release of more than 1,100 pages from his private COVID-era diary.</p><p>Anthony examines the questions raised by Fauci’s private notes, the disputed origin of COVID-19 and the constitutional meaning of refusing to answer potentially self-incriminating questions. Invoking the Fifth Amendment is not an admission of guilt, but it does not end Congress’ responsibility to examine the government’s pandemic decisions.</p><p>The episode then turns to Texas, where a state sales-tax exemption for qualifying data centers is projected to cost $3.2 billion over the 2026-27 biennium. Anthony asks why Texas Republicans are subsidizing an industry that places growing demands on the state’s power grid.</p><p>Anthony also scrutinizes a poll showing Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton, compares Talarico’s campaign image with his past public statements and challenges Gov. Greg Abbott’s proposed $400 million roof-fortification program.</p><p>Different stories. The same demand: ignore the performance, read the record and ask who pays.</p>

The 17-to-1 Warning in District 118

<p>Republican interests spent heavily to influence the House District 118 primary. Now Republican nominee Jorge Borrego faces Democrat Kristian Carranza with a reported cash disadvantage of roughly 17 to one.</p><p>Anthony Holm asks whether the organizations that helped shape the primary are equally committed to winning the general election—or whether defeating a Republican trial lawyer mattered more than retaining a Republican-held seat.</p><p>The episode also examines Robert Howden’s appointment as Texas secretary of state and the fight for closed primaries, criminal allegations involving Arcola Mayor Fred Burton, a controversy surrounding Midland County Judge Terry Johnson, China’s surveillance apparatus and the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision concerning marijuana use and gun ownership.</p><p>Anthony begins and ends the episode by remembering Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, who was killed at 19 while serving her country and posthumously promoted to private first class.</p><p><strong>Context:</strong> Charges against Fred Burton remain allegations and he is presumed innocent. Terry Johnson has not been criminally charged. Claims about Chinese influence should not be interpreted as evidence that American vote totals were changed.</p>
