The week in politics (Sept. 18, 2024)
On Wednesday's show: We discuss Mayor John Whitmire\u2019s State of the City address. Then we learn about a lawsuit against a fertility clinic over in vitro fertilization.
Also this hour: From the mayor's State of the City address, to a growing field in the race for Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, we discuss developments in local, state, and national politics, in our weekly roundup.
We discuss the SCOPE Act, a new law that went into effect this month aimed at preventing Texas children from accessing certain content on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. With that Meta\u2019s announcement that its establishing a more restricted version of Instagram for younger users, we discuss how to best protect kids on social media.
And, ahead of an event with Performing Arts Houston on Thursday, we revisit a 2019 conversation with Jenna Bush Hager and her sister Barbara Pierce Bush. They\u2019re the daughters of former President George W. Bush and the granddaughters of Houston\u2019s own late former President George H.W. Bush.
