LIFE, LIBERTY & REPUBLICANS TODAY

In this hard‑hitting episode of Politics with the Big Dogs, host Anthony Holm connects the dots between America’s founding principles and today’s biggest political battles in Texas.

This extended episode opens with the Declaration of Independence, unpacking its three revolutionary ideas—equality, God‑given rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness), and self‑government—and argues that modern America is drifting dangerously far from that vision. From career politicians clinging to power in Austin and D.C. to a political class more interested in reelection than liberty, Holm calls for a return to citizen‑led government and real accountability.

Anthony then dives into the rise of Islamic institutions in Texas, including a Muslim‑only water park event and the controversial Texas American Muslim University in Dallas. He questions whether these developments align with American Judeo‑Christian values, individual rights, and free markets, warning that many establishment Republicans are too timid—or too compromised—to confront the issue.

Next, he breaks down James Talarico’s attack on Senator John Cornyn over the federal gas tax and how a far‑left Democrat managed to outflank a longtime Republican senator on tax relief.

The episode then turns to the state of public education in Texas: four‑day school weeks, administrative bloat, unions and educrats protecting adults over kids, resistance to real measurement of student outcomes, and the fight over A–F school ratings.

Finally, Anthony spotlights Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against Netflix, alleging the company quietly tracked and monetized children’s viewing data despite marketing its platform as safe and ad‑free. Tying it to previous wins against Facebook and Google, he frames the case as part of a broader fight to protect Texans from Big Tech deception.

If you care about liberty, faith, family, education, and the future of Texas, this episode is fast, fiery, and unapologetically conservative—demanding that Americans remember who we are, what we inherited and what it will take to keep it.
