ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Ever tried to buy a truck on a sunny Sunday in Texas, only to find the gates locked tight? Most people assume the “Sunday Showroom Silence” is a religious holdover, but the truth is rooted in the Texas Transportation Code Section 728.002.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes of the Texas Blue Laws to explain why car dealerships are legally prohibited from selling vehicles on consecutive Saturdays and Sundays. While most blue laws were repealed in 1985, the “Sunday Ban” remains—and surprisingly, it’s the Texas Automobile Dealers Association lobbying to keep it that way.

We dive into the economics of protectionism, overhead costs, and how a government-mandated break allows dealers to save on labor and electricity without losing customers to the competition across the street. If you’ve ever wondered why the free market takes a day off in the Lone Star State, this breakdown is for you.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Welcome to a comprehensive Week in Review on Saving America. We kick things off with the historic launch of the Artemis II Rocket, exploring why America’s return to the moon—specifically the “dark side”—is a strategic necessity in the new Cold War against the CCP. We look at the military importance of satellite defense and why a permanent lunar presence is a turning point for global leadership.

On the home front, we analyze the surprising economic news for March, where despite previous losses, the Trump economy added 178,000 jobs, bringing unemployment down to 4.3%. We also tackle the escalating Iran conflict and its impact on NATO, discussing the reluctance of European allies to support military efforts in the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, we address your “Fan Mail” regarding the costs of war, the FBI’s warnings on Chinese mobile apps like TikTok and Temu, the recent shakeups in the Trump cabinet, and why the “Newsom for 2028” narrative is falling apart under the weight of California’s debt and fraud scandals.
