In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Episode 3720: Burrows’ House trying to save get-high THC retail industry | Polls: Cornyn trails Paxton by big margin – Pratt on Texas 5/1/2025 43:47

vor 22 hours43:47

43:47

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Speaker Dustin Burrows is lining up to have his legacy as the man who backdoor legalized the get-high THC marijuana/hemp industry in Texas. I have been following the fight in the legislature over THC and have read most every story about what is happening. Saying that, I can assure you that Karen Brooks Harper’s story in The Dallas Morning News is accurate and the headline has a correct slant on the story: Bill that would save THC retailers from total ban advances in Texas House panel . The people pushing this the hardest are West Texas reps that Speaker Burrows put on the powerful State Affairs panel and are of his leadership circle. The BurrowCrats are directly fighting state Senator Charles Perry’s effort to roll back this unintended legalization loophole that came from the Hemp bill in 2019. House leadership is using much time and energy to fight to SAVE the get-high retail business of selling THC infused products. This is nothing more than the backdoor legalization of a get-high drug culture. 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. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick appointed Chairman of Presidential Religious Liberty Commission . Lawyer John Bash Withdraws From Texas AG Republican Primary . Sad to see it. Republican and Democrat polling shows Senator John Cornyn 10 to 20 points behind Ken Paxton if the Republican Primary for U.S. Senate were held today! This a shockingly big and consistent spread.

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick points out that the Texas Senate has pass all top 40 “priority bills. ” The Senate has, as of Friday, passed 631 bills while the BurrowCrat House has passed only 182. Both officially began work on the same day but as usual the House plays around with its internal politics for months before getting to the work it must do in the 140-day session. And speaking of convening for legislative work, Senator Birdwell has gotten a bill out of the Senate to the House that allows the Legislature to come back into session after the deadline for the governor to veto bills for the purpose of overriding vetoes .

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: A large, 33,000 student, Texas school district has lost in court and will be forced to adopt single member districts for its school boar d. I’ve no problem with single member districts but I have a huge problem with the bigotry, racism, and dirty trick that is minority-majority districts. Such do nothing positive for minorities and derive from a bigoted idea that all minorities of a similar trait think alike. The 1965 Voting Rights Act has much in it that was simply a trick on minorities by the Democrats.

Gov’t should be neutral to the idea of voting, not working itself and funding others to turn out voters.

Lubbock County Commissioner Jason Corley joins with TPPF, others, in suing overreaching Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) rulemaking . ICE is reversing termination of international students’ legal status , lawyer says . The whole thing has been an example of why conservatives should always be leery of government work, even the government actions you support. It’s been a disaster that makes the original intent look terrible. Don’t trust government to anything but that which it must do and then expect incompetence.

I give a full review of the House finally passing school choice.

School choice plan clears historic hurdle with Texas House approval Texas House gives initial OK to $1 billion school voucher proposal In Historic First, Texas House Approves Private School Voucher Program How each Texas House member voted on school choice . (I see several opponents in the R-side voted for it – no doubt some trades with the Governor over key bills not being vetoed is involved – or they are just afraid of being targeted again in the primary election.)

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Several “cost of housing” bills are being worked through the legislature and each deserves scrutiny. One, SB15 that has already passed the Senate, prompted this frightening headline: Why Do I Feel Like I’m Back in New Jersey? Yep, that got my attention too and it was written by a friend of the show who is an active Republican leader just outside of Austin in Bastrop. Carole Spencer joins us to give very informed opinion on SB15 and other related bills.

Texas Supreme Court Justice Jeff Boyd to retire this summer . U.S. House passes a budget resolution with a 2-vote margin . Trump is pleased.

Despite the rhetoric, tariffs are paid by buyers/consumers, not countries or companies. 118 international students’ immigration statuses revoked across Texas universities . Media is going nuts over many college students losing their Student and Exchange Visitor status – they should be praising the fact that we finally have a government that is actually looking into who these people are. And stop it with the “due process” stuff, there is no such thing related to being let in the country to study. And, I’ll bet you that all of the countries from which these people came have much stricter immigration rules, including for study, than our USA.
