Texas Standard for August 23, 2017
President Donald Trump says he doesn’t think NAFTA can be saved and he’s calling for a shutdown of the federal government if that’s what it takes to fund the border wall. We’ll explore. And: We’ll apply a Texas filter to the president’s remarks in Phoenix, Arizona. Also: Why a federal judge has stopped Houston from banning large encampments of people experiencing homelessness. Plus: How giant retailers like Walmart and Target are trying to compete with Amazon. And: Houston to Dallas in 30 minutes? Hyperloop technology might make it possible. We’ll hear from Texans competing this weekend to make it a reality. Those stories and so much more today on the Texas Standard:
