The Republic of Texas Radio w/ Steve OBrien

Everything is bigger in Texas, but lately, it feels like our circles are getting smaller. Today, we’re diving into the heavy cost of conviction—specifically, the friends we lose when we refuse to trade the truth for a quiet life. It’s a lonely road sometimes, but it’s the only one worth walking. From the personal to the political, we’re turning the spotlight on City Hall. It’s time for a real conversation about City Council accountability. If they want the seat, they’ve got to take the heat, and we’re bringing plenty of it today. Looking abroad, the drums of war are beating again, and the target is Iran. We’ll break down the headlines, the hype, and what an escalation in the Middle East actually means for those of us right here at home. And finally, you won’t want to miss my closing segment: ‘AI and the Dipstick.’ It’s a story about a ‘genius’ Large Language Model, a simple mechanical problem, and why common sense will always beat an algorithm in a fair fight.

On the March 1, 2026, episode of The Republic of Texas Radio, host Steve O’Brien dives into a world on the brink, starting with the explosive developments of “Operation Epic Fury” and the confirmed death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, as reported by Press TV. O’Brien questions the official narrative and the collapsing trust in mainstream media as the drums of war beat louder. Shifting to the domestic front, the show breaks down the new “California-style” digital mandates, where even Linux users are being forced into the same ID-tracking systems as Windows, effectively ending the era of anonymous computing. The discussion then turns to the state of global intelligence, debating whether humanity is facing a cognitive decline or a “Global Intelligence Crisis” as AI takes the wheel. Finally, the show looks at the “spec inflation” hitting the tech world, with RAM prices doubling overnight, leaving the average citizen priced out of the hardware needed to maintain digital independence.
