On Monday’s show: Before President Biden’s announcement over the weekend, the last time a sitting U.S. president dropped out of reelection, he was a Texan. And when Lyndon B. Johnson did so in 1968, it was amid a similar period of turmoil. We discuss those parallels with Rice University political science professor Bob Stein, who was present at the contentious 1968 Democratic National Convention.
Next, former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and our own Andrew Schneider reflect on the life and career of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who passed away on Friday.
Also on this hour: What are some of the biggest mistakes Houston has made over the years? What do you think is the biggest mistake we’ve made as a city?
Columnist Dwight Silverman then discusses recent developments in consumer technology, including last week’s Crowdstrike breach that affected Houston airports, banks, hospitals and media outlets.
And we catch up on sports with Jeff Balke.
Audio of today’s show will be available after 11 a.m. Central Time. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher, and other apps.
