On this episode we talk with Jason Stanford, former chief of communication and community engagement for the Mayor of Austin, Steve Adler. We speak to him about the Great Breakfast Taco War, the book he co-authored, Forget the Alamo, and other taco wars. We begin with José telling us how Texans take everything personally. Especially as it relates to food. That character trait or flaw, whatever you'd like to call it, occasionally causes a big to-do. One of those occasions occurred in February 2016. That's when Eater.com writer Matthew Sedacca's story about Austin being the birthplace of the breakfast taco. Many San Antonioans lost their minds and took to social media. A  tongue-in-cheek Change.org petition to ban Sedacca from Texas was also published. Eventually, Eater quietly revised the text to state Austin popularized the breakfast taco. But the writer's misunderstanding of the Texas staple remained. In his story, the journalist writes, “The recipe is simple: take a tortilla, and stuff with desired breakfast ingredients—eggs, processed yellow cheese, pork, etc.” Anyone who has glanced at a breakfast taco menu in San Antonio and South Texas knows this is untrue. The range is great, including carne guisada, barbacoa, pork chops. The diversity is greatness. Soon after, Texas radio stations got involved, TV stations threw in their hats too. Then the mayors got involved. The vitriol was palpable. Austin Mayor Steve Adler didn't help things. He held rallies where he shouted the bona fides of Austin tacos and even in a fervor declared he would lead a march on San Antonio.   It was never known if that claim was scripted but there were scripted takes on the breakfast taco war and other things. The person behind that was Jason Stanford. Stanford's newsletter explained that San Antonio didn't understand that Austin's mayor was joking at the time. Like many of Austin's moves, it was a PR stunt with a sprinkling of cynical humor. San Antonio was ultimately a punchline. FACO: “Remember The Alamo” is a phrase sprinkled with racism. It's a dog whistle.   TAQUOTE: “The odds always favor the tortillas like the salsa flavors of the taco.”   SOCIAL MEDIA Jason Stanford: https://twitter.com/JasStanford   Isidro Salas: https://twitter.com/10ktacos   José R.

The vast majority of my life has been spent in cities and suburbs. I have only lived short periods of time outside of areas like Los Angeles and New York City, so I'm what you might call a "city boy." But I am strongly considering moving my family away from the city and I'd suggest the same to those who have the means and the desire.There are many reasons for this, but a new one has popped up in recent months that would never have swayed me in the past. I've heard over and over how bad things can get in the city in the event of major emergencies or terrorist attacks, but I've always dismissed them. Like I said, I'm a city boy so having access to things has always been important. But the past few months have taught me there's a good chance I won't want my family in the city when the crap starts hitting the fan, and that seems to be possible at any moment.Case-in-Point: The radiological attack response drills that are going on in Austin, Texas, right now. I'll let Ethan Huff from Natural News describe the details below, but it's a compelling reason to consider leaving city life if possible. Many bad events can strike anywhere, city or not, but it seems very likely that a radiological attack would target the heaviest population centers.As I said on the latest episode of The Late Prepper, it isn't all perfect in living more isolated. There are disadvantages and threats to country living that don't exist as much in cities and suburbs. With that said, it still seems like a safer bet for most. Here's Ethan with the details:Dirty Bomb Drills Being Run in Austin, Tex., Ahead of Known Radiological Terror Cells Entering U.S.From May 16 through May 20, the Department of Energy's (DoE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is holding a drill in Austin, Tex., that involves the use of low-flying aircraft and a simulated radiological attack.Called “Cobalt Magnet 22,” the exercise is supposedly taking place to prepare local, state and federal agencies for the possibility of a future radiological attack. Since these drills tend to go live, however, many want to know: Is this another false flag attack in the making?At “various locations around the city,” an announcement from the NNSA reads, “the exercise will simulate a radiological attack, enabling response personnel to practice protecting public health and safety, providing emergency relief to affected populations, and restoring essential services.”During the exercise, personnel donned in PPE (personal protective equipment) will reportedly be seen moseying around Austin with equipment as they pretend to monitor and detect radiation, presumably from a nuclear attack.First responders “and others,” the announcement adds ominously, will also be “staged at various locations” throughout the Texas capital as part of the drill.“The men and women of the Nuclear Emergency Support Team – or NEST – are trained to provide decision-makers with timely, actionable scientific advice during fearful events,” says Jay Tilden, the DoE's Deputy Under Secretary for Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation.“Saving lives and reducing the impact of a nuclear incident requires a full understanding of what happened, who will be affected, and what the optimal response should be. NEST's bread and butter is providing that information to local, state, and federal leaders as rapidly as possible.”Mayor Adler and other local officials: “This is only an exercise”In order to quell the fears of area residents who are concerned about this latest government exercise mysteriously going live, Austin Mayor Steve Adler, a raging liberal Demoncrat with “Get vaccinated!” written prominently on his Twitter handle, wrote the following in a tweet:“During a planning exercise next week, Austinites may see teams in protective clothing using radiological equipment, low-flying aircraft gathering data, and groups of first responders and other staged at various locations. This is only an exercise.”Along with this message, Adler shared a link to an article from The Hill explaining the exercise in further detail.Austin Emergency Management (AEM) tweeted a similar message three days later, emphasizing that the event is “just an exercise” and not to worry or panic.Neither the NNSA nor any other local agencies in Austin have clarified why the simulation is happening there, or whether or not Austin is under any kind of radiological or other threat that would render it a potential target.Cobalt Magnet 22 is reminiscent of the “Jade Helm 15” exercise from 2015 that also took place in this same area of Texas, and under similarly strange circumstances.As you may recall, the Health Ranger visited one of the sites involved in that exercise, which include “guard towers” similar to the ones used in fascist regimes to monitor prisoners being held captive behind barbed-wire fencing.Jade Helm 15 simulated the infiltration of soldiers operating “undetected amongst civilian populations,” the purpose being to see if they could infiltrate and blend in with the general population without being noticed.Concerning this latest exercise in Austin, Adan Salazar, writing for Infowars and Newswars, had this to say:“The exercise comes as NATO and its allies have continued to prop up Ukraine in its war against Russia, provoking the former Soviet nation which has full nuclear capabilities. Agencies did not say the drills were in response to any type of threat from Russia.”For more news and information about this topic, be sure to check out Radiation.news.Sources for this article include:NewsWars.comNaturalNews.com This is a public episode.

A sizeable crowd rallied at the Texas State Capitol on Saturday to observe Transgender Visibility Day. Austin Mayor Steve Adler has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating - meanwhile an inquiry into Mayor Adler's real estate holdings has been dismissed by the City's Ethics Review Commission. Texas teachers, in the midst of a staffing and retention crisis, report that they have recently been required to take a long and rigorous training regimen under threat of termination, but without compensation. Neighboring New Mexico has become the 18th state to legalize recreational marijuana - the primary obstacle towards such progress in Texas lies in the Texas Legislature. As Circuit of the Americas continues to add to its calendar, meaningful infrastructure improvements to alleviate regular traffic jams in the area are moving very slowly. UT observes the passing of Tom Staley, the director of the Harry Ransom Center largely credited for its impressive development, at 89. Austin FC's match at San Jose results in a 2-2 draw, including its first road goal of the season - the team is also investing over $3 million into affordable housing initiatives in the neighborhood around Q2 Stadium. Texas Baseball wins its first Big 12 series of the season against OU in Arlington, including an amazing comeback from a 7-1 sixth-inning deficit in Sunday's 12-8 win. And Austin weather includes a slight threat of severe weather tonight, and record-breaking heat on Tuesday - 96 is expected, which will top the existing record high of just under 94.

Ali Velshi breaks down the historic American Rescue Plan, Republicans' brazen new attacks on voting rights, the investigation that seems to be zeroing in on Donald Trump, and more. He's joined by Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA), NIH Director Francis Collins, Austin Mayor Steve Adler, the New Yorker's Sheela Kolhatkar, the Brennan Center's Wendy Weiser, the New York Times' Katie Benner, Brittney Cooper, Brittany Packnett Cunningham, George Floyd family attorney L. Chris Stewart, and Joyce Vance. 

It is an historic day in Washington, DC as Pres. Joe Biden's signature domestic policy issue, the Covid relief bill, passed in the House of Representatives. The President also announced plans for a deal that would produce 100 million more doses of the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine. CNN’s Gloria Borger and John King discuss the next challenges ahead for the President, promoting and executing on the promises in the bill. Also, Democratic congressional progressive caucus chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal tells Anderson Cooper, “My message tonight is: help is on the way, real tangible help, money in your pockets… and it is going directly to the people.” Rep. Jayapal also says it was a very big tactical mistake for the Republicans who didn't back the stimulus bill. Plus, there’s a legal battle over the Texas governor lifting the state’s mask mandate. Austin Mayor Steve Adler speaks out against calls from the Texas attorney general for local officials to rescind orders requiring face masks. “We’re not going to rescind anything, we are going to continue to do what’s right,” Mayor Adler tells Anderson Cooper.

FBI Director Christopher Wray knocked down a conspiracy theory that the January 6th rioters were “fake Trump protestors,” a baseless claim that’s been pushed by Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. Wray also made it clear to lawmakers that Antifa and other left-wing groups weren’t part of the violence saying “we have not, to date, seen any evidence of anarchist violent extremists or people subscribing to Antifa in connection to the 6th.” Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and questioned Wray. She tells Anderson Cooper “to pretend we don’t know who it is, is not just hypocritical, it’s dangerous.” Plus, President Biden says the U.S. will have enough vaccines for every adult by the end of May. Meanwhile, both Mississippi and Texas announced they are lifting mask mandates and allowing businesses to operate at full capacity even as experts warn about the spreading variants. Austin Mayor Steve Adler tells AC360 people in his Texas city are dumbfounded and “we should be guided by the science and the data.” Airdate: March 2, 2021 Guests: Sen.

This week, the continued ignorance of the Left was on full display once again. The legacy media and Democrats have decided to go full force after Sen. Ted Cruz. It seems they believe Ted Cruz is responsible for the power and heat of the entire state of Texas.  They want to compare the Cruz situation to other situations, like when Cruz was critical of Austin Mayor Steve Adler. The situation here is much different. Cruz was not ordering people to stay home, then leaving against his own advice. But the Left doesn't care about the situation. They are only looking at the emotional story they can bring to attack conservatives.  The Left continually wants to point fingers rather than actually call out their own ignorance. They have ignored the Cuomo situation in New York. They ignored the Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, and Gretchen Whitmer stories as well. Time and again, the Left wants to attack over stupid things against conservatives but ignore the things that are going on in their own party.  Americans are suffering at the hands of Democrats across the country. Americans are suffering at the hands of Joe Biden across the country. Yet, the mainstream media will focus on Ted Cruz and his family's dog.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Chris Smalls, labor activist and Founder of The Congress of Essential Workers, to discuss the new international wave of Amazon workers holding protests against their workplace conditions, his own alarming experience at the hands of the corporate behemoth's management, and why Smalls is now suing Amazon on behalf of himself and many other workers he says faced retribution for organizing their coworkers.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Gloria La Riva of the Party for Socialism and Liberation to discuss the decisive victory of the coalition headed by the PSUV party of President Nicolas at Venezuela's legislative elections on Sunday, why the US government has been working to delegitimize the elections long before they'd taken place, and the impact of the results for working Venezuelans and their neighbors throughout the region.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by journalist Michael Fox to discuss his new podcast “Brazil on Fire,” how corporate media has consistently misportrayed the results of Brazil's recent municipal elections, and why the appointment of Lava Jato judge and former Bolsonaro administration Justice Minister Sergio Moro to Director of consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal is raising so many eyebrows.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Brianna Griffith, producer and host of People's Republic Radio, to discuss the new comments by President-elect Joe Biden suggesting that he won't demand too many concessions from Republicans because he doesn't want to "embarrass" Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, why ruling class calls for 'unity' ring so hollow to so many working people, the political priorities reflected by the policies of socialist governments (like that of Vietnam) and capitalist governments (like that of the US) in addressing the COVID-19 crisis, and the public backlash to Austin Mayor Steve Adler'sinsistence that his constituents "stay at home" from his timeshare in Mexico.

Carter and Keri honor Walter Williams, who passed away this week, by reading several quotes from the prolific and brilliant economist. Next they observe the memory hole into which the obsequious media has thrown the name "Ellen Page," replacing it with the woke actress' new moniker, Elliot Page. Who starred in the movie "Juno" as a pregnant teenage girl? A guy named, "Elliot," don't you remember? Some intermittent frivolity ensues when Keri announces that her pronouns include the phase "your mom." The two then wonder if there is a French Laundry in Cabo San Lucas as they contemplate the revelation that Austin Mayor Steve Adler was vacationing there while admonishing Austin residents back home to "stay home and be safe." His later apology for "confusing" people with his hypocritical behavior is then treated with all the reverence it deserves. This sparks a discussion about how the left uses words solely as magic spells for manipulating others, rather than as referents to an objective reality. Finally, Keri and Carter flip through the recently leaked slide deck used to indoctrinate San Diego teachers into the "White Privilege" cult of unearned guilt and leftist activism. Carter provides a rule of thumb to expose their moral code: “You shouldn't be able to sin while in a coma."

As coronavirus cases rise, Democrats are sounding the alarm for major mandates and lockdowns.  Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said to CANCEL EVERYTHING.  Other leftwing politicians like Gavin Newsom, Austin Mayor Steve Adler, and others have said the same thing.  The problem is, they keep getting caught violating their own orders.  Do the rules only apply to the "common people?" A Covid 19 vaccine is on the way.  America has learned to better treat the virus.  Yet, Democrats see lockdowns and stay at home orders as a means of control.  It's not about the science.  When Democrats say you can't go to church, but you can protest, then you know it's not about the science.

When COVID-19 first hit America's cities, despite our physical distance, communities came together to lift each other up and support one another. From that spirit, the City Song Project was born. This project, in collaboration with Americans for the Arts, features local artists from cities all over the country, together using the power of song to show the strength of our cities. On this episode, Austin Mayor Steve Adler, Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve, and Charleston, SC Mayor John Tecklenburg talk about their cities' songs and what the mean to each of their communities.

On today's episode we speak with Sherri Greenberg, a professor of practice and fellow of the Max Sherman Chair in State and Local Government at the LBJ School of Public Affairs. She and Bingham Group CEO A.J. discuss different local governance structures and their implications on civic engagement. BACKGROUND In July, Austinites for Progressive Reform launched with, among other initiatives, a call to adopt a mayor-council form of government, i.e. a strong mayor system. This would transfer the city manager's duties to the mayor. The city of Austin is currently run under a council-manager system, with power and authority to set policy resting with the city council. The council in turn hires a nonpartisan manager who runs the city (including hiring and firing personnell). The city of Houston is the only major Texas city with a strong mayor system. Austinites for Progressive Reform is currently gathering signatures for a city charter amendment (Austin's constitution) vote in May 2021. ABOUT GUEST: Sherri R. Greenberg is a professor of practice and fellow of the Max Sherman Chair in State and Local Government at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and she is the Graduate Advisor for the LBJ School Master of Public Affairs Program. Additionally, she serves as Research Director of the Future of Work for Good Systems, A University of Texas Grand Challenge. Greenberg is the Chairperson of the Board of Managers of Central Health, a member of the Austin Convention Enterprises Board of Directors, a member of the City of Austin Regional Affordability Committee, and a member of the City of Austin Housing Investment Review Committee. Greenberg has served as a senior advisor to Austin Mayor Steve Adler. She was a Texas state representative from 1991 to 2001, and she chaired the House Pensions and Investments Committee and the Select Committee on Teacher Health Insurance. Her teaching and research interests include: technology policy, urban and state issues, public engagement, housing, transportation, health care, public finance, and campaigns and elections. Her recent publications are “Smart Cities: Serving the Outskirts”; Housing + Social And Economic Mobility.

This week on The Texan’s Weekly Roundup podcast, the reporting team discusses Governor Abbott's latest reopening announcement, mask guidance issued by Bulverde lawyers, Green Party candidates making it back on the November ballot, Texas Republicans calling for a ban of Netflix's controversial Cuties film, a North Texas judge spearheading virtual court proceedings, Bexar County defunding 19 constable positions, and finally, Governor Abbott and Austin Mayor Steve Adler sparring over police department funding and jurisdiction. 

The race is on now! The Democratic National Convention (2020 virtual edition) is underway, and will be immediately followed next week by the Republican National Convention (also virtual in this pandemic).  The Jasons are virtual, too---Dr. Carla Brailey, Vice Chair of the Texas Democratic Party Joins us. She tells Y'all-itics that even though she is a delegate to this year's convention, she's not completely sure what that's even going to look like, since she is joining the important nominating event...by Zoom. Dr. Brailey is excited by Democratic enthusiasm she sees in Texas, and believes Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can do what no Democratis presidential ticket has done in more than 40 years: Win Texas and it's cache of 38 electoral votes. Without giving away all the secrets, Dr. Brailey lays out how Democrats are already on the ground in Texas---working to increase their turnout from 2016 levels, which will be necessary to flip this traditionally safe state for Republicans. Also, Austin Mayor Steve Adler joins us. He doesn't think it will be hard to get the electorate excited without the big nominating hall filled with party faithful and balloons. Adler shares why he thinks going remote might be a good thing for the convention. Biden has been leading Trump by significant margins, but a few polls have tightened in recent days. Adler admits he's nervous about that---and he would've liked to see more Texans in big speaking roles at the get-together. But while some observers have suggested that the Democratic ticket should focus its resources in Democratic strongholds and traditional battleground states Adler is having none of that. Biden has made this a race in Texas and Adler thinks the Democratic ticket needs to double down on what could be the largest 2020 battleground: Texas.

Austin Mayor Steve Adler has displaced New York's Bill De Blasio has the nation's worst mayor. Austin has begun de-funding the police and Adler claims this will make Austin safer. On this show, we discuss Adler, loony councilman Gregorio Casar (who pushed this measure), and continuing BLM violence. We also talk with State representative Phil King of Weatherford about protests in his town and about Kamala Harris as Biden's running mate.

It's the Texas Insider Radio Show with Jim and Lynn where Austin Mayor Steve Adler is ready and willing to defund the police, pay reparations for slavery, and seems to think Austin's public transportation system is racist in nature. Also, we discuss violence in Portland, Gropey Joe's race-and-sex based Veep choice and moving the NRA to Texas where it belongs.

Taking on our lawmakers over COVID-19 mandates Dessie Andrews has filed suit against Governor Greg Abbott, Travis County Judge Sarah Echkart and Austin Mayor Steve Adler. She has charged them with civil RICO, Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act. She has claimed that they have committed domestic terrorism against the People of Texas by intimidating and coercing a civilian population. Andrews holds a PhD in constitutional study and law and has long been attempting to remove from public office any person who holds the position under color of law. To this end, she has continually researched and studied the Supreme Law of the Land and has worked diligently to aid and assist victims of bank abuse and tyranny. Show highlights: The flu kills between 75,000 and 165,000 a year Filling a federal lawsuit for civil racketeering against Governor Greg Abbott and the county judge and mayor of Austin Governor Abbott issued an “Issue of Disaster” because 30 people in Texas were diagnosed with Covid Farmers were told by bureaucrats what they could and couldn’t grow when the FDA was created by FDR The New Deal created administrative agencies which control/ tell us what to do How would a more constitutional government affect the people? The only reason for government is to protect you and your rights The constitutional oath that senators and governors do not have to take The attorney general can defend the state and state officials They changed the standards of what constitutes a Covid case to make the numbers go up Dessie Andrews hopes to inspire others with her lawsuits to stand up to what is currently going on Is there any daylight for redress for this idea of domestic terrorism? Is president Trump doing the best he can by giving the states more control over how to handle Covid? Attributing 20 million HIV deaths to Fauci Implementing a national shutdown would be worse than the effects of the virus Magnetic resonance and vibrations with what is currently going on It’s going to become harder and harder to live as free people Businesses are threatened with a $1,000 fine if they allow people without masks in their businesses More people are being tested for Covid, yet the death rate is decreasing There hasn’t been any case proven that someone has died from (not with) Covid Less than 1% of the population of Texas has died from Covid Companies that have filled bankruptcy sine Covid President Trump is withdrawing from the WHO How elections are diversions the supreme court said the electors of the electoral college are not committed to vote for who won the popular vote Take a Stand for Liberty with Dessie

The Mayor weighs in on Governor Abbott's intervention. Plus, his takes on Mayors Bloomberg and Buttigieg.

Judging from the Halloween-week drama in the Lone Star State, there's nothing that Texas Republicans find scarier than... CITIES! And... DEMOCRATS! No wonder Gov. Abbott and (soon-to-be-ex) Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen are so spooked by Austin. We had a great talk with Austin's Mayor Steve Adler on the city's plan to house rather than hide our neighbors experiencing homelessness as well as Speaker Bonnen's "dumbass" mayors comment. Also, we spent Halloween at the Capitol listening to ghost stories because of course we did.
