Veteran and entrepreneur Chad Grills of National Capital League discusses his experience with Big Tech and how building anything meaningful and lasting will likely not come out of Silicon Valley or places like California. He explains how Silicon Valley was seeded by DOD, the Intelligence Community, and DARPA. The culture of Silicon Valley and most major cities will not allow anything original or good for humanity to emerge. He argues we have neither communism nor capitalism, but a monopolistic system that keeps the little guy out. He stresses a need for better governance, creating good culture, maintaining personal integrity, and is optimistic about the ability of America to reinvent itself.

The measles outbreak that began in West Texas has now grown to more than 300 cases across three states. The Texas Department of State Health Services reported Tuesday morning that Texas now has 279 confirmed measles cases from the outbreak. In other news, The Nasdaq on Tuesday unveiled a new regional headquarters that would be located in Dallas, becoming the latest elite financial institution tapping into a “Texas Miracle” of pro-business sentiment and strong regional growth; and cell phone bans that launched in some North Texas schools in recent years may be expanded statewide. Texas House members on Tuesday debated whether to prohibit students from having their phones out during class time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Early in the pandemic, many big tech companies based in Silicon Valley exited California, fleeing the high overhead necessary to do business there. One city — Austin, Texas — was consistently tagged as the top destination. The Texas capital offered lower costs, especially in regard to housing and taxes. Another draw for companies: the state’s more lax approach to regulation. Well, after a massive influx, the “Texas miracle,” with Austin at its epicenter, is losing some of its luster. In recent weeks, Tesla, which moved its headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin in 2020, announced it's laying off 2,700 workers there. And software giant Oracle, which relocated to Austin at about the same time, is moving its headquarters again, this time to Nashville, Tennessee. Last week, at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles, Marketplace’s Lily Jamali asked Austin Mayor Kirk Watson about the state of tech in his city.

The largest school district in Texas lost its elected leaders in the summer of 2023. In their place – a state-appointed board along with a leader unafraid of creating upheaval and massive changes.It's unusual for school districts to lose local control, especially on a scale this large. Suddenly, the Houston Independent School District with its nearly 200,000 students and 11,000 teachers didn't know what would happen next. But the reforms came quickly.What led to the takeover and what's the impact of this whole-scale, test-based reform? We go back decades to understand how a history of high-stakes testing got us here. That pressure to perform trickles down to campus leaders and teachers, to students and their parents. The stakes mount as the takeover plays out and no school is left untouched.The Takeover is a seasonal podcast about power and public education. The first season captures 18 months of on-the-ground, neighborhood-level reporting, enterprising investigative work, and deep context about education policy and history from a range of expert researchers.

In many ways, Texas is representative of the demographic and economic dynamism of America. The Lone Star State is very diverse with Latinos as the largest ethnic group; plus, it boasts the largest African American population in the country. Despite the sweeping demographic change of the last few decades, Texas remains deeply conservative with only one Black and one Latino among statewide elected officials – pushing political observers to begin questioning why Texas politics have remained unchanged. The economic boom of the last decade, dubbed the Texas Miracle, has also skipped over Black and Brown families who are themselves helping to drive this growth and expansion. This is especially true for historic Black communities in one of the wealthiest parts of the world – Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast.   Join us as I SEE U's Eddie Robinson speaks unguarded with award-winning filmmaker, Alex Stapleton. Her documentary, “The Price of Oil,” is part of HBO's ‘God Save Texas,' a three-part docuseries now streaming on Max. The renowned director turns a critical eye on the lucrative oil and gas industry – and documents how these companies created a toxic hell for her family and their Houston-area community – destroying the hard-won oasis where Black families could finally own their homes and build wealth. When outsiders would merely suggest to these Texas residents that they should simply move – Stapleton turns the table to question why business leaders and government officials failed from the start to fully compensate generations of Black and Brown communities through adequate health resources and regulation of an industry run amok.

On this Salceod Storm podcast: Andy Hopper is a Software Engineer, Texas Guardsman, and conservative activist who almost unseated a RINO incumbent in the 2022 Republican Primary for Texas House District 64. Andy lost by only 88 votes out of almost 20,000 cast—the closest race in Texas, and he's going after the seat again to bring true conservative representation to Wise and Denton counties.

Reporters Olivia Lueckemeyer and Maddy McCarty talk over the Texas miracle, and what might be threatening it. We also hear from the former Texas Governor and former Secretary of Energy in the Trump Administration Rick Perry on why he doesn't think government should intervene in the housing crisis. "Government should do a few things, do those few things really well and then get the hell out of the way – and let the private sector do what the private sector does best … if you become so popular that the market is able to raise the cost of where people can't afford it, at some time in the future there will be a self correction.” Read the series here:Everything's Bigger In Texas: Angry Neighbors, Aging Policies And Lack Of Will Are Digging A 10-Gallon Housing HoleThe Nation's Second-Worst Housing Shortage Is Crashing Into ‘The Texas Miracle'

Housing affordability has become such a crisis in Texas, it could be the one development that derails what's known as the Texas Miracle, the economic engine driving the Lone Star State. But sky high demand, property taxes and inflation have combined to drive up the cost of housing to such a level, some experts say Texas no longer has a cost advantage. Put another way, before now, businesses had no problem enticing employees to the Lone Star State because most folks could easily afford a home. Now, though, that same home has become too expensive for many would be workers: homeowners, and renters alike, regardless of income level. And that's made us more like, dare we say, California and New York than many Texans would like to admit. The problem is now such a threat, some of the brightest minds in the state sent a brief to lawmakers for the 88th Texas Legislature identifying ways to address the affordability crisis. In this episode of Y'all-itics, the Jasons are joined by two of those experts who discuss what needs to be done so we can all afford – and keep – our homes.GUESTSSteven Pedigo, LBJ Urban Lab Director/LBJ School of Public AffairsSherri Greenberg, Asst Dean-Professor/LBJ School of Public AffairsBEER SELECTIONSWheeler: Wild Texas Kolsch, 4.8 ABVTexas Beer Company/ Taylor, TXWhitely: Dot Matrix, Black Lager, 5.2 ABVEqual Parts Brewing, Houston, TX

Businesses in Texas thrive on lower taxes and less regulation. That leads to jobs, flourishing communities, and the Texas Miracle. But does Texas now need to create an entire court system for companies here to settle their disputes? Gov. Abbott and House Speaker Dade Phelan call it a priority. Half the country already has business courts. Delaware's business courts have been around since 1792. So, the Jasons called another Jason for this episode – Jason Villalba. He's a former Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives who proposed this very idea in 2015. This year, though, there's more momentum. Even the bill number this year – House Bill 19 – says something about its importance. But will juries play a role? Will the judges be elected or appointed by the governor? The Jasons have questions. A third Jason answered them. GUEST:Jason Villalba, former state representative, practicing business attorneyLOCATION: On Rotation Brewery & Kitchen BEER SELECTIONS: Jason Wheeler: Jalapeno Saison (Dallas, TX)Jason Whitely: Hans' Pils (Blanco, TX)Jason Villabla: Lake Highlands Light (Dallas, TX)

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas House and Senate committee chairmen have released their draft biennial budgets for the 88th Session. What's the press and Democrat reaction? They're bothered that there's no plan to massively grow government and spend all the new money. That shows, again, that they miss the key to the Texas Miracle which is predictability combined with responsible spending.Don't let all the stories about how Abbott and Patrick are mostly in line with one another fool you. It is proven by the draft budgets that, at this point, the House and Senate do not share any vision on how best to bring tax relief and how significant such will be. They could tear each other apart over this issue and such wouldn't be something new.Interestingly, the best write-up on the budget and spending came from a trade group before the budgets were released, read it here.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.There are legislators not afraid to fight the Left's perverted cultural revolution and they are at work trying to protect children and the family unit.

This is a news brief - a look at the headline story of the 4 million people in Texas who have lost power as a result of a sudden, extreme cold snap.  It was a failure of the power grid, controlled and operated by the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), once hailed as the Texas Miracle, it has failed repeated demands to harden the grid to withstand extreme weather events.  ERCOT is largely independent of any other power sharing agreements, so when power goes down in Texas, it cannot get capacity from other sources, as other states often do in power sharing agreements.  The conclusion we draw is that unusual weather events have become "usual" and grids must be made resilient to climate disruption.

For years, Texas Republicans have run for office on the state’s business-friendly reputation. But that reputation may also be leading to the GOP’s weakening political power in the state.

In the last 15 years, Texas has led the way among red states showing how small government is the path to prosperity. But the Texas economic miracle can’t be told without mentioning the Texas Public Policy Foundation, the leading conservative think tank in the Lone State State. Brooke Rollins built that foundation up to become a policy powerhouse promoting freedom and limited government. She talks about her years in think tank leadership, and how they prepared her for her current role in the Trump administration. Plus: A new poll shows Americans rarely seek guidance from their clergy. We also cover these stories:•Iran is officially in breach of the 2015 nuclear deal.•New York takes another step toward exposing President Trump’s tax returns. •President Trump isn't happy with Britain or Prime Minister Teresa May, after the British ambassador's unflattering comments about the Trump administration were leaked.
