When Law, Faith, And Security Collide: Who Decides Our Future In Texas?

A constitutional amendment promised to strengthen parental rights in Texas—now the state’s highest court must decide what that promise really means. We unpack why the level of judicial scrutiny matters, how vague words like “nurture” and “protect” can widen DFPS power, and what a live case says about where the balance between child safety and family liberty may land. Along the way, we face an uncomfortable truth: courts often shape our daily lives more than legislators do, because interpretation is power.

We also pull back the curtain on a year-long Galveston smoke shop prosecution that ended with felony charges dismissed “in the interest of justice,” yet with authorities still seeking to keep $1.7 million and inventory. If evidence was thin or mishandled, Texans deserve an explanation. Public trust depends on transparency, not press-conference claims that vanish when it counts. Add a tense school moment—an accidental gun discharge in a Klein ISD restroom—and we confront a recurring fault line: people vs. tools. Real safety comes from training, secure access, and accountability, not from pretending objects carry intent.

Former FBI special agent John Guandolo joins us to outline civilization jihad, the Holy Land Foundation record, and CAIR’s role in a broader network of influence. Whether you agree on every conclusion or not, the documents and patterns he cites raise urgent local questions—about schools, city halls, and the quiet corridors where policy and culture bend. And as Texas agencies move to review Chinese-manufactured medical devices over cybersecurity risks, we connect one final thread: safeguarding privacy and community resilience requires vigilance at home, across courts, classrooms, and clinics.

From Deep in the Heart of Texas, it's Houston's God loving Patriot, the voice of reason, and this is the most part conservative, Michael Wilson.

The Courts’ Power And Parental Rights Amendment

Case Details And Standards Of Scrutiny Debate

SPEAKER_14 0:32

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and you're listening to the Lone Star Conservative brought to you by Texellent AC Service. Welcome back to the show. Indeed. It is good to have you with us this morning on this fine Tuesday morning. Here a little bit before the cold front moves in. And by cold front, I just mean it'll go down. Actually, this time will be a little bit more. We might be hitting down about 10 degrees. But before we get into any of that, before we get into any of the weather that comes at the end of this hour, by the way, I want to go ahead and tease the guest we're having on at the top of the second hour. That is at seven o'clock. Because this is going to be an incredibly exciting interview. And I like I said, I'm quite excited to bring this guy on and have the opportunity to talk to him, to hear from him, because I think, you know, it's it's rare these days that people are experts in any field. Unfortunately, that's becoming rarer and rarer, uh, especially with the not only the advent of the internet, but with the advent of AI. A lot of people just think they're experts after five minutes on the internet. It's quite shocking, actually, how people will do five minutes of research and then assume they're well informed on whatever the thing is that they did the research into, and they're so well informed that you can't possibly convince them otherwise, no matter how well informed you are. Now, for some of us, we think that's crazy, that's insane. Sometimes it's actually quite good to talk to someone who's done more research than me. And while I'm certainly pretty informed on the Islamiz Islamization of Texas, of the US, of the West, I don't even need to say of go go broad, of the West in general. While I'm pretty well informed on what they're doing in Texas and what their goals are and how they're achieving those goals, there is someone who is uh inarguably more informed than I am. Uh, and that is John Guandolo. This guy is at the top of the food chain when it comes to knowing what's going on with Islam here in Texas. Uh, he's been on the War Room, uh, he's been he's been on many other publications. The guy is excellent. And I'm very excited to get to have him come on and to do this interview this morning. So you won't want to miss that again. That's at 7 o'clock. So if you're listening right now and you're gonna get to work at 7, and that's when your work starts, throw in a headphone, sit in your car a little while longer, hit traffic or something, get stuck in traffic for a little extra time this morning, take the back roads into work, and uh enjoy that interview because it's gonna be a good one. We're gonna talk all about Islam here in Texas, how we got to this point, uh, maybe what we can do about it, all those sorts of things, how there's a lot going on behind the scenes that a lot of people don't know about, how it's not just a Muslim here and a Muslim there. How there's actually a lot of organized influence being done intentionally, and how they admit this, um, and they do this consistently. And so it'll be a very good interview. We'll we're we're all gonna learn, including me, we're all gonna learn a lot. So I'm very much genuinely looking forward to it. In the meantime, 7 o'clock is an hour away, which means I have an hour to run my gums, which means do my job, and talk about what's going on in our state and in our local area. And I want to kick it off with a very important story, and that is the Texas Supreme Court, uh, which is now going to consider the significance of the new parental rights amendment, because of course we amended the Constitution, and whenever we do that, it often gets brought up in court because we need an interpretation as to how it applies, what it means for day-to-day life, and that's the job of the courts. I had a debate with my friends uh a couple weeks ago because we were discussing the uh the power and the authority uh of the courts. And they were firmly on the train that said, no, the courts obviously don't have nearly as much power as a lawmaker. And I said, you know, it's easy to draw that conclusion, right? Because they can't craft law, they can't create it. I said, but oftentimes the people tasked with interpreting the law actually do have more power than the lawmakers in many instances. You can you can of course you should interpret the law objectively. Of course you should read it and do your very darndest to interpret it correctly. But in many cases, we know the courts have not done that. You've had a lot of judicial activism, you've had a lot of leftist agendas put into the court system. And the result, unfortunately, has been that in many cases our courts have ruled against the will of the people and against the good of the people and against what the law actually means. Roe v. Wade is a phenomenal example of this. The Constitution was abused to somehow protect the right for you to murder your children. It never made any sense. And for 50 years, millions of children were killed more than any other genocide in world history, and more than the casualties in any world war ever experienced. And it was all under the justification of the courts, not the lawmakers. Per Rovy Wade was not codified. It was not federal law, it was not done by executive order, it was not done by the executive branch, it was not done by by Congress, it was done by the judicial side of everything. It was done by the courts. And so the courts have a very enormous amount of power. And it may not be in crafting law, but those who determine what the law actually means, as it turns out, hold a lot of that authority to decide how the law is actually done, how the legal process actually goes, how the law ultimately not only is interpreted, but applied. And so, of course, anytime that we file an amendment, anytime that we pass a law, it could go before the courts. And they have the determination to decide how that law actually applies. And so Texas Supreme Court is going to determine the limit of that new parental right, uh, the new power that was given to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to dissolve families while also serving its purpose to protect children. Multiple legal organizations with an interest in parental rights have weighed in already, stressing the significance of, of course, this recent state constitutional amendment. Section 37 was added to Article I of the Texas Constitution back in November of last year to expressly protect parental rights. So let me just read the amendment first off. It says to enshrine truths that are deeply rooted in this nation's history and traditions, the people of Texas hereby affirm that a parent has the responsibility to nurture and protect the parent's child and the corresponding fundamental right to exercise care, custody, and control of the parent's child, including the right to make decisions concerning the child's upbringing. Now, for those of our listeners who've been around a while, uh for those of our listeners who may have been listening to the show when I was reporting on the potential passing of these constitutional amendments, I said the reason I felt like this law could not only be abused, but could actually be utilized to lessen the rights of parents, was because ultimately the courts were the ones that were going to decide how that right played out. Then of course it could be good, it could be great to enshrine those parental rights in the Constitution. It could end up being good. The problem was, and you probably just heard it when I read through this wording of the amendment, wording of the section that was added, that our rights correspond to our responsibility. Right. And we believe that as Christians, right? We believe that as conservatives. The problem is when you give the government the authority to determine what that means, all of a sudden it's not just a responsibility. All of a sudden it's a legal burden that you have to somehow prove that you've done your responsibility in order to ascertain your rights, in order to gain your rights. And whenever you have the government with the authority to determine if you met your parental rights, and of course, to a degree, they always have that, right? If there are issues of legitimate child abuse, the courts have reasonable ability to make sure that your children are safe. If a child is being abused, of course they should not be in the home. We all largely understand that. The problem is when you then codify that and you expressly give the right to the courts to say that your parental rights are tied to the responsibility to care and to nurture and to protect. Well, those are very vague terms. What does it mean ultimately to protect your child? What does it mean ultimately to nurture your child? How much leeway is there in determining what that means? And all the leeway sits expressly with the courts to decide exactly what that means. And that is an entirely dangerous scenario to find a parent in that you have to meet the court's objective. And the reason why that's so concerning is look no further than I mean, you know, you can look in the US, but a great example of this is in Canada, where you have a father who denied using a child's new pronouns, who denied being willing to use a new name to go along with the transgender myth that their child had been indoctrinated into, and is now losing custody of his child. He was thrown in jail because the courts ultimately found that, oh, you're abusing your child. You're not nurturing your kid, you're not protecting your child, you're hurting her or him. And the result has been disastrous for parental rights, despite the fact that it's predicated on your right as a parent with a corresponding responsibility. And so, of course, we'd all like to say that would never happen here in Texas. Like that could never happen here. Uh, we'd be dead wrong, because it certainly could happen here. I'm sure there are plenty of people in countries where this has happened where 50, 100, 200 years ago they would have said the exact same sentence. That could never happen here. And so when we passed that, we understood, or we should have understood, that that gave the courts enormous power over what parental rights actually look like. And so the court now, of course, has to decide how Section 37 fits with the existing Texas Family Detroit Code determination scheme in Chapter 161, specifically in that code, whether parental rights terminations still use the clear and convincing evidence standard or whether it requires strict scrutiny. And so the case arises from a 2021 Texas Department of Family and Protective Services investigation into an unnamed family for child endangerment. Texas created the department back in 2004 to protect children from harm with immense power to investigate, sue, and even dissolve families. According to case filings, DFPS decided not to remove the children as there was not sufficient evidence of abuse or neglect. A short-term temporary stay with the grandmother was negotiated for the oldest child. In March of 2022, about four years ago, the Department investigated allegations against only the mother and only as to the oldest child. It concluded there was no emergency, left the children in the home, and petitioned the court to force the mother to take various classes. Instead, after a six-month standoff with the Department of Family and Protective Services, the family moved to Louisiana to escape the department's jurisdiction. So in August of 2022, a few months later, the state filed a petition seeking the emergency removal of all four children from both parents. The only evidence presented against the father was an incident in which drugs were found in his pocket while no children were in his care. He was pulled over and they found drugs. And so the petition described a dangerous household in which the child was dragged by her hair, beaten, deprived of food, and yelled at. And so just on the case that there might be, both of their rights, the father and the mother, were terminated completely. And so his his his decision was by that evidence appealed to the Seventh Court of Appeals in Amarillo, where a three-judge panel affirmed the trial court judgment in September of 2024. The case was then appealed to the Supreme Court of Texas, which heard oral arguments in December of last year, which, just for reference, is about three months ago. And the court is still considering the case. Now the parents argue the trial court never had jurisdiction as the family was living in Louisiana, and such suits are statutorily required to be brought in the county in which the children are found. In light of Section 37's implementation, they also contend that the natural right existing between parents and their children is of constitutional dimension, meaning termination proceedings are strictly construed in favor of the parent. So first and foremost, the court must determine the appropriate level of scrutiny to apply. The state argues that Section 37 merely codified existing protections under Chapter 161 rather than establishing anything new, and that the clear and convincing standard still applies. Multiple third parties filed amicus briefs in the case, informing the court that strict scrutiny is now required by Section 37, if it wasn't before. Briefs were filed by Family Freedom Project, Texas Public Policy Foundation, Texas Association of Family Defense Attorneys, and Attorney Celia Wood. Now, uh, you have Family Freedom Project, who wrote that Section 37 is the first time in the history of our nation that any people have so clearly and holistically enumerated the God given rights of parents in the highest law of their land. But this boundary means nothing if it is not ultimately enforced. And so the brief reads the situation as it stands now cannot continue. The casual removal of children, the punitive withholding of visitation, the stacking of irrelevant tasks that the overwhelmed parent must complete to the satisfaction of a subjective bureaucrat, all these and more are far too common occurrences before and during litigation in the trial courts. And so, of course, there are obviously again concerns about legitimate child abuse, which is fair. And so the brief argues the risk highlighted by this case is not that we may someday create a system that does not care about child abuse. The risk is that the system will always tend toward the aggregation of power and that we forget to hold the line. And so again, they're asking the court to interpret Section 37 of the Constitution in accordance with the clear wishes of the people of Texas. The brief contends that Texas demonstrated their enduring commitment to safeguarding parental rights by taking the historic step of voting to make Texas the first state in the nation to enshrine parental rights as a fundamental right in the Constitution. And so the incorporation of that right ensures the courts continue to apply strict scrutiny to any state statute or action that seeks to limit the ability of parents to exercise their right to the care, custody, and control of their children. And so ultimately, what's going on in this case is going to be absolutely massive because the Supreme Court, because they waited so long, and I get it, right? They have a lot of courts, they're very busy, they're the ultimate court for the state of Texas for our laws. And so, of course, they have lots of things to weigh in on, and it takes time to get through these things. Because the wait was so long, now the question remains. Rather than it just being formerly uh the ability of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and the existing Chapter 161 methodologies, well now you have to contend with what has now been enumerated in the Constitution, because that's now applied. And so if you're going to now remove my children, which again we have this ongoing case, you now have to be willing to argue with what the Constitution states here in the state of Texas. And so that's where the case is right now. Uh and like I said, when I first reported on this amendment, I'll say the same thing now that I said then. This can go multiple different directions. We're not locked in that it says, oh yeah, you you automatically have the right. Right? They they everyone wants to argue that. And I I don't see where they're getting it, because of course we all want parental rights. The issue with the way that we did it is that you still have the responsibility, which the courts will determine if you meet, on whether or not you're nurturing and protecting your children. Which is why, by the way, the state, the the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and the prosecutors are able to argue, well, it didn't add anything new. This is this is just wording in the Constitution. It's not actually anything that we have to contend with. It doesn't change the level of scrutiny for the case because of course we already knew that. Of course, every case we apply the standard already. We already say, of course, you have parental rights in the state of Texas. We all understand that. That was already understood. We weren't contending with that, and the Constitution doesn't change that. It may be codified, but we already knew that. That was already applied by every court in the state of Texas, right? The only the only difference is nothing. It's the same that we had before. Because because they threw in the nurture and protect guidelines into that amendment, well, how how is anything different at all? How how are we benefiting from that? And so, of course, uh the Supreme Court, Lord willing, will will make sure that we understand, yeah, there has to be very obvious abuse, right? In order for you to ever do this, there there must be a very high level of burden, right? That strict scrutiny, as it's legally termed, there has to be a very high level of burden to prove beyond reasonable doubt that there was obvious and significant child abuse in order to dissolve families, in order to take children away from their parents. And dependent on the court's decision in this case will largely determine how this law ends up playing out for potentially the next decade minimum. Because of course, you can always have changes. The Supreme Court can come back in 10 years and revisit the case, right? Roe v. Wade again was the law of the land for 50 years. It was the court's interpretation until it was overturned. So you can always have an overturn later in the future, but where the court goes today will be of very high significance ultimately in the way that the state of Texas looks at parental rights under the new constitutional amendment. And again, I I again I I'm not coming out and saying, yeah, we should never have passed that because now look at what they're gonna do. I said that's on the table because we've now given them the ability to make the decision. And if you trust the courts to make the right one, sure, it's good. It it'll all play out fairly. It'll all play out right. But if you don't trust the courts and you think that there might be some judicial activism, or you might be s thinking that, oh, well, there might be some leftist objective, and maybe the courts are not as on board with parental rights as parents are, then there's concern here. And so we won't really know uh even after it plays out with this particular case, things could always change. So it'll be a massive win if we get the win here. And hopefully the court looks at it and says, yeah, there there is a high burden of proof and you've not met it. But we'll see in this case how it goes. With that being said, when we return from the rig, we're gonna jump over uh because felony charges have now been dropped in a case against the owner of the Galveston Hazy Days Smoke Shop. Uh those charges were brought up a little while ago. I think we actually reported when they were first brought up. Uh, but those two felony charges have now been dismissed against the owner of that gift shop and smoke shop nearly a year after they raided the business's three island locations. We'll talk more about the details of that case when we get back from the break.

After the break. Break after the break.

Galveston Smoke Shop Raids And Dismissals

SPEAKER_14 25:10

So, over the weekend, the Gavson County Sheriff's Office dismissed two felony charges against the owner of this popular store nearly a year after his three island locations were essentially uh raided. The DA's office dismissed charges of money laundering and engaging in organized criminal activity against Shlomi Wolreck. According to court records, the dismissal documents say the charges were dismissed in the interest of justice with no other explanation given. No background, no information regarding the raids. Uh obviously, if you performed the raids, there was enough evidence, and the fact that you kept the raids going, or not the raids, but you kept the investigation going and you kept the charges on for nearly a year after you performed raids and you had all the information you needed, it it it begs two questions, right? Because it's it's one or the other. Either you never really had the evidence in the first place, in which case the reputational damage uh should be a civil suit of its own accord, because you have ruined his reputation. This has been in the news. Uh you've gone after numerous locations of his. This has been an ongoing issue for a year, and all for it to be nothing. So you either basically lied the whole time that the charges were pending, or alternatively, you just dropped them for no reason. You just got to a point in the case where you said we had all the evidence and we lost it. Sorry, nothing to be done about that. And the fact that you've not explained yourself, I think is probably the largest issue here, and not only for us, but of course for the smoke shop owner, because he's sitting there thinking to himself, I've been pending court trial for a year where people have been reporting on the raids, on potential money laundering, and organized criminal activity, all for you to say that we're just not we're just gonna drop the charges in the interest of justice. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And so, of course, they're not returning requests for comment. Uh his defense attorney did confirm the dismissal, but again, declined to comment, which bring a very sudden end that I don't think anyone was really expecting uh to the charges which came out of the simultaneous raids of the Hazy Day stores in Galveston Strand Shopping District and along the seawall. Now, in a complaint, the Galveston County Sheriff's Office Organized Crime Task Force accused this guy of conspiring to sell illegal drugs and then laundering the profits of the illegal sales through other accounts connected to him. Police said that two items purchased at the stores, a microdose magic mushroom pen and mushy cones, a mint and chocolate flavored mushroom snack stuffed into an ice cream cone, contained illegal levels of tripe uh tryptamine, which is a psychoactive psychedelic, right? It's a psychedelic compound. The felony charges, of course, carried a potential penalty of up to ninety-nine years in prison and fines of up to$10,000. Him and five others were charged in connection with the case. Court records show that some of the co-defendants remain charged with felonies, while others have agreed to plead to misdemeanors. One of the defendants, Cassia Stenson, is now charged with a misdemeanor for possessing a device used to deceive a drug test. And so another defendant, Brandon Bell, last month, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of delivery of drug paraphernalia, according to court records. And during a news conference announcing the charges, the Sheriff's Office officials and prosecutors accused store employees of selling illegal drugs over the counter and of making drugs available to minors, which again, neither of those accusations appeared in actual criminal charges filed against the employers, despite the fact that those were in the news conference. And again, I understand the freedom of the press and the freedom of speech and all this sort of stuff, but there obviously comes a line when you're telling everyone in a news conference from a legitimate authority, oh yeah, this guy friggin' selling drugs to kids and and and selling illegal drugs over the counter and all these things. And then a year later you just drop them. You say, Yeah, never mind. And even in the charges, by the way, there was nothing about selling the underage people, right? There was nothing in the criminal charges whatsoever related to providing drugs to minors. That wasn't even in there in the first place. But now all the charges have just been magically dropped. And so apart from the criminal case, you also have Galvis County prosecutors who have sought to keep$1.7 million that was seized from the business, uh, as well as a huge volume of the store's inventory. At the time of the raids, sheriff's deputies were photographed using sledgehammers and pry bars to open an ATM inside one of the stores. Now, of course, in filing seek to un seeking to undo the seizure, this guy's attorney argued that the psychedelics at the center of the case were not actually controlled substances under Texas law. Attorneys also argued that the seizure was grossly disproportionate to the alleged crime, which even even the prosecutors argued was about a hundred dollars worth of merchandise. So that case as to whether or not the money will be kept or whatever, is still pending. Though I I I gotta be honest, right? I am the first person, and you guys know this, if there is an issue related to drugs that thinks that the repercussions should be very strict, right? If you're running a shop where you're selling illegal drugs or you're selling to kids, I have no problem with us seizing all of your inventory and keeping it. All us keeping all the money that you earned and keeping it. I I have no issue with that whatsoever. What I do have an issue with is if you've not broken the law, if it turns out that the criminality charges, the ch charges related to what you were claimed to have done, are just dropped. They're just thrown by the wayside and they say, Yeah, it didn't actually happen. I can't actually prove you did this. Well then what's the basis for ruining his reputation? What's the basis for the news conference? What was the basis for the rates? What's the basis for keeping the money you seized? Because the basis before, if you're gonna seize all that money and all that that inventory was you did these illegal things and these are connected to that, and so you lose them. That makes sense. I think most people are probably on board with that concept. The only issue is what about the fact that you just dropped the charges? And again, I think the largest issue in this case in general is that there's again, as as frequently as it happens, there's no transparency. There's no information given to we the people about what actually happened here. We we have a right to know that, just so we're clear. We fund all of this. You're using our dollars to do it, right? If if you if I hired a personal investigator, if I hired a PI with my money and they started looking into a guy and they determined that whatever I thought he was doing, he wasn't actually doing, they would provide me all the evidence they got and said, here's how we know that he's not doing it. And vice versa. And yet, when they use your money as a public investigator, oh, they don't owe you anything. They don't have to tell you why they dropped the charges, they don't have to tell you why they waited a year to do it, they don't have to tell you why they're still ongoing trying to keep the stuff they took, the money in the inventory that they took from the locations. No, no, no, no, no, no. They don't owe you an explanation. Absolutely they do. And it is incredibly frustrating that they think that they're just allowed continually, over and over and over again, to do things like this, not just in criminal charges, but in general. When local government gets the idea in their head somehow that they have free reign to just essentially do whatever they want. Oh, yeah, we'll raid businesses, we'll take stuff from people, and we'll charge them. And then one day, a year down the road, after their reputation's been ruined, after their businesses have basically been shuttered, after we've taken all of their stuff, all of their financial motivation and incentives, after we've done all of that, then we drop the charges and we we potentially ruined someone's life for what we're admitting is nothing. And again, I don't have an issue with dropping charges. I don't have an issue with pursuing everything you possibly can. That's not where my issue lies. My issue lies in the fact that we're not being informed as to what drove all these decisions. What drove a year's worth of investigations and raids and reputational damage, all for you to offer no explanation whatsoever when you just say, Yeah, I guess not. I guess he didn't do it. We don't know how. We don't have any evidence to give you. We have no explanation whatsoever. He just didn't do it. And that should frustrate every single taxpayer. That should frustrate everyone that pays a dime in taxes because you have a right to know those things. That is something that you deserve to know. And local government, this is one of the biggest ways that I see corruption play out. And you don't have to say this is corruption, but you look at a case like this, and all we're left with is so where did my money go? Because I can imagine that raids aren't cheap. I can imagine that the court case wasn't cheap, the DA salary wasn't cheap, so all of our money that was spent in this case, all for you to say, yeah, never mind, and give us nothing. That that should be a big problem. That should be a moment where we all say, that's not acceptable behavior. You don't get to do that. We're all owed something out of this. Nevertheless, when we get back from the break, we're gonna jump over, talk about Klein Collins High School, uh, where a student accidentally fired a gun in a school bathroom, according to Klein ISD, which Klein ISD, if you guys know, has had a whole slew of issues over the past few years. Uh, and now we can add another one to the list. We'll talk about that accidental gunfire when we get back from the break. You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. If you'd like to text in, as always, the number is 713-779-5978. That is 713-779-KYST. You are listening to the Lone Star Conservative. And I'm your host, Michael Wilson. And Lord willing, I will get back with the rest of that update from that school and that accidental firing after the break.

Transparency, Seizures, And Public Accountability

SPEAKER_14 39:05

So over in Klein ISD, officials with Klein Independent School District confirmed yesterday afternoon that a student accidentally discharged a firearm inside a restroom at Klein Collins High School. They say that no students or staff were injured during the incident. Now, according to a letter sent to families by Klein Collins principal Kristen Brady, the firearm was discharged in an empty restroom during school hours yesterday afternoon. Campus administrators and officers from Klein ISD police department immediately detained the student involved. The weapon was quickly secured, and the student cooperated when approached by administrators, according to the district. Principal Brady said the campus was not placed into a lockdown or secure status due to the extremely quick actions taken by our team and the fact that it was obviously an accident. The student involved has already been expelled from the district, and felony charges have been accepted by the Harris County District Attorney's Office. Law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate the incident. Parents were encouraged to report any information related to the situation to the district. The reason I bring this story up is to say a couple things. First of all, kids do dumb things. That's number one. Kids do dumb things all the time. I'm not saying like I ever fired a uh fired off a gun in a school bathroom. That never happened. But kids do dumb things. The reason that I think this case or this story in general is appropriate to cover is yet again to highlight the difference between a tool and a person. Because the left, of course, would like to ascribe intent to an inanimate object. They would love nothing more than for all of us to believe that the issue in this school bathroom was the gun itself. And I think all of us have enough brain cells to clearly tell that's not the case. The issue has very little actually to do with the firearm, because you'd have had a similar emergency had there been any incident involving a knife. The only difference, I guess, would be the fact that you wouldn't have heard the knife the way you heard the gun, so you knew something went on. But it would have it would have been the exact same scenario had there been some sort of possible danger involving any other type of inanimate object that could have been used to hurt somebody. It would have been the same thing. You would have seen explanations, you would have seen uh quick responses, you would have probably seen a court case. All the same stuff would be playing out. And so the issue is not the gun whatsoever, the issue is the student. Or or you could take it a step further and say part of the issue, bare minimum, is the parents, right? Access to firearms, raising your child in proper firearm safety, all that sort of stuff. Uh but again, it falls squarely with people, not with the tool, not with the firearm itself. And the left can't seem to differentiate between those things. And that's why consistently they push over and over and over, they talk about cases like this one, and they say, see, it the problem here is the access to guns. The problem is the fact that the parents own guns. The problem is the fact uh that that guns exist in this country and that people are able to have them. That's the problem. And so we need stricter regulations, we need more gun control, we need the ability to regulate who can own guns, where they can own guns, where they can carry them, and so on and so on and so forth. And that's the argument. Well, I would come with the exact opposite argument and say, absolutely not. In fact, guns should be a very normal thing to deal with. I I I I personally know people who were very capable of handling firearms at 14, 15, 16, 17 years old when they were in high school. There this would never have happened. They probably would never have taken into a bathroom in the first place, but even if they had, even if they had been carrying at that age, they knew all about firearm safety. They knew never to pull it in the first place, much less accidentally discharge it. This is an issue, I would argue, with guns not being normalized enough. Not like not the opposite, not the inverse of that. And so again, whenever you look at things like your rights, it has to be understood that you don't get to take a case where someone did something bad and or or something mistaken and use that as a justification to curtail my God-given rights. That's why cases like this are incredibly important. It's also why you should join our sponsor, Gun Owners of America. Gun Owners of America understands that your rights, given by God and enshrined in our Constitution, are not handed to you as a privilege that can be stripped away when someone else does something they should not do. That they are rights that will never change and shall never be infringed. That requires your help. You can go to GOAHouston.com to become a member. It is a$25 annual membership. And that money, if you want to know, goes back to their operations. And they do a lot, right? They they campaign for candidates for office who will actually defend your rights. They put in the time to research these candidates, uh, to get to know these candidates to form relationships so that they can later hold them accountable. Say when we go into legislative session, not only can they hold those congressmen, those senators accountable, but they can also lobby then uh using those people for good bills to be heard and Bad bills to be shot down. They also have another task area they go to, which is, of course, lawsuits suing governments, local governments, state governments, or say the DOJ, which they're doing right now, to make sure that there isn't tyranny and oppression and infringement of your rights. If you truly believe the Second Amendment shall not be compromised, that we could not, we should, and cannot compromise on our rights. Again, you go to GOAHS and join as an annual member for$25 per year. Again, that is GOAHuston.com. With that being said, when we get back from the break, we're going to jump over to wrap up the first hour of the show, talk a little about the weather.

SPEAKER_10 46:30

If you are of Medicare AIDS or getting close or you have a loved one that is, be careful with those unsolicited phone calls that I know you know about. We get told about them all the time. What you need to know is that many of those phone calls are not even legal. They're coming from offshore call centers. Sometimes they're calling regardless of whether you're on the do not call list. Isn't that nice of them, by the way? It's really sweet of them to just do that because they are thinking that they can't get caught. Bottom line is when you get on there and you talk to them, they're already kind of operating sidelong of what should be done. And sometimes people end up in plans that they did not intend to enroll in. And so what do you do? Call somebody local. If you got a local agent, my gosh, call them and get in front of them. And if you don't have a good agent, think of an organization like Senior Health Services where you can sit down, talk about what you're looking for, and get the help that you need. You don't need to be talking to phone operators in other countries that you don't know who they are, where they are, or what in the world they're doing.

SPEAKER_14 48:50

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and you're listening to the Lone Star Conservative brought to you by Textellant AC Service. So severe thunderstorms today could bring large hail and damaging winds to central and north Texas before reaching our area tomorrow. Now, today's severe storm risk, not here, to be clear, I don't want to freak anybody out, is driven by a storm system moving out of the southern plains into a warm, muggy environment. The setup could trigger storms capable of producing especially large hail, damaging winds, and even tornadoes from the Dallas-Fort Worth area south toward the Rio Grande. Now, that same system is going to push a cold front towards us by tomorrow, bringing in another strong, another chance for strong storms in the Houston metro area. Now, today, strong thunderstorms are starting to develop across parts of Texas as the system is moving across the state. Moisture from the Gulf of America will, of course, surge north across the state, creating a warm, unstable atmosphere, which of course creates high favorability for storms, which is why we get especially stormy this time of year. Isolated thunderstorms could form around midday today from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to Abilene before expanding across Central Texas and the Edwards Plateau later in the day. Additionally, as storms grow and organize this evening, there are expected to merge into clusters or Boeing lines capable of producing damaging winds. That line could reach the I-35 corridor from San Antonio to Austin early tomorrow. Now, some of Tuesday night storms may weaken as they move into eastern Texas overnight. However, the same system is going to push a cold front toward southeast Texas by tomorrow. And so scattered towers are going to be possible before about 10 AM across the Houston metro area. A few rumbles of thunder remain possible, but the risk of severe weather before about noon is low. Morning temperatures in the upper 60s and lower 70s should climb through the 70s by midday tomorrow. As daytime heating increases and the front approaches, thunderstorms are expected to redevelop, especially near and east of Houston. A broken line of thunderstorms could reach the Brise Valley between 10 A.M. and 1 P.M., with most models showing storms reaching us here in the Houston area by about 3 p.m. Storms could produce damaging winds, especially north of I-10 and east of I-45. Widespread severe weather is not expected, but a few warnings from the National Weather Service are possible, especially for those who are east of the Sabine River into Louisiana. Now, on Thursday, after the storms have pushed offshore by Wednesday night, a breezy northerly wind is going to stand temperatures dropping for Thursday. We expect plenty of sunshine going into Thursday afternoon as high temperatures reach the lower 70s. But the the the heart of the cooler air will be felt by the time you step outside, say Thursday night into early Friday, as those lows are going to fall into the 40s. And to be to be absolutely clear, the cooler weather is not going to last very long. 80-degree weather is back in the forecast in time for the weekend. So it's a very short-lived cool front with the possibility of some rain. But here in the actual Houston metro area, we're not expecting a whole bunch of storms, though they're on the table. And so again, we get back in the 80s. We have some nowhere potential cool fronts coming through next week and the following week. So we'll keep you guys up to date every day with the information we have. Of course, I'll be on air tomorrow and Thursday to keep you updated on what we're seeing with the storms, what we're expecting, all because stuff can change in a heartbeat. So we'll let you know. With that being said, that'll do it for the first hour of the show. When we get back from the break, as I mentioned at the top of the show, but I'll mention it again, we're gonna have John Guandalo coming on. He's again been on Bannon's War Room. Uh, he's been uncovering a ton of stuff with the FBI uh when it comes to things like civilizational jihad, which we'll talk to him about, just Muslim influence in general, especially here in Houston and here in Texas. We'll talk all about that when we get back. Text in 713-779-5978. I'm your host, Michael Wilson. You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. I'll be right back with our guests at the top of the next hour.

SPEAKER_04 52:48

From deep in the heart of Texas, Houston's God-loving patriot, the voice of reason. This is the Lone Star Conservative, Michael Wilson.

SPEAKER_16 53:02

Your offended.

SPEAKER_14 53:22

On the line, I have a very exciting guest who've been teasing him all for the first hour of the show. You're listening to Patriot 920, and we are going to jump forward with somewhere I think the mainstream media largely refuses to go. My guest has spent years uncovering all the information that we're going to go over today. He's studied the Muslim Brotherhood, not from a textbook, but from the evidence produced in the largest financing trial of terrorism in American history, prosecuted right here in Texas. He's dealt dealt with law enforcement across the country. He's, of course, been on Bannon's War Room, and he's been sounding this alarm, I think, when most politicians were barely willing to whisper about it. Welcome to the show, John Guandalo. We're excited to have you here this morning. Thanks for having me. I'm looking forward to the conversation. I am as well, and I want to kick it off before we get into Islamic influence, kind of the background there, what's going on here in Houston and here in Texas. I want to kick it off by hearing a little bit about you, uh, what your background is, what drove you to all of this, and what you've sort of gotten into over the past uh few decades.

Weather Outlook And Severe Storm Risks

SPEAKER_02 54:22

Well, I'm a combat veteran marine officer. I was an infantry and reconnaissance officer and uh left the Marine Corps and joined the FBI, and after about four to five years in the criminal division after 9-11, uh moved over to the counterterrorism division and started working investigations that uncovered a massive Islamic network and jihadi network in the United States. And when I started working with others, realized there was not a broad understanding of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic movement in general, and so I started training others and uh put together the first training in the government uh on these matters, on the Islamic movement, what they're doing, how they operate. And uh got recruited out of the FBI in 2008 by the Department of Defense to do this at a strategic level. And uh then when Mr. Obama defunded that program in 2012, I uh continued doing it on the private side, and that's what I've been doing ever since.

SPEAKER_14 55:30

Wow. I I mean I I think it I think it speaks leaps and bounds about the the Obama administration in general. But we don't we don't have the time to go into all that. What we can say is I I think there's a fair understanding that you have extensive experience in all of this, and it's not just that you've, you know, you have a PhD in it or anything like that, but it's that you've seen it firsthand. You've investigated it, you've dealt with it for, again, decades you've been doing all this stuff. And so I think it's important that your understanding comes into play as we talk about this next thing, which I I think we kind of can term it civilizational jihad. When you hear from politicians or from mainstream media about Islamic threats, almost always, it's with the caveat that it's it is it is jihad, right? That it's this sort of violence, terrorism, bombings, shootings, whatever the case may be. And civilizational jihad, I think, differs from that a little bit, though it's it's often connected. Uh think something that I think is is often quieter, but arguably more dangerous. Can you walk us through what is this civilizational jihad?

SPEAKER_02 56:32

Sure. I think it would help your audience if we look at what is jihad, because it gets to the root of your question. And in Islam, in Islamic law in Sharia, jihad is legally defined as warfare against non-Muslims. And uh when we understand that that term for them is total war. So what we're used to is either the individual acts of jihad, like we saw in Austin, or saw in New York, or in Cincinnati, or you know, Boston and Fort and Chattanooga, etc. But it's also um like the Muslim Brotherhood civilization jihad, it's all the other things. It's subversion, it's counterintelligence, it's psychological warfare, it's uh economic warfare, um, it's all of that and more. So Muslims who portray themselves in food friendly, who work with the uh school boards, who work with the chambers of commerce, who uh run the interface outreach programs in in cities across the United States, uh working with local city councils and state legislators, taking state legislators on trips to Turkey and Saudi Arabia to show them how nice these places are. All of this is part of civilization jihad. And as you said, it is it's 95% of their effort. The violence is actually used as a tool to move the much larger nonviolent aspect of what they're doing forward, and it's how they're winning the war.

SPEAKER_14 58:23

Right. And I think they often um publicly will try to draw that distinction. Well, we're not the violent Muslims, right? We're not we're not the ones doing this. We're we're the normal ones. We're totally fine. We just want to help with politics, we just want to be involved, we like traditional values, and so we're not associated with the violence. We're we're good, um, but you still see this same sort of tactic, even if it may not be violent, the same sort of tactic being applied through this sort of subversion. I think uh I want to talk a little bit about this this Holy Land Foundation trial up in Dallas, because I think it kind of paints this picture of the goal where they literally talk about the fact that they want to destroy Western culture and Western civilization from within. Um, and that that is that is ultimately their goal in all the stuff that they're doing.

SPEAKER_02 59:06

Well, that's exactly right. And I think it it comes down to uh, you know, when I first started looking at it, I came at it from the Muslim Brotherhood, their doctrine, their network perspective. Um but as I began studying Islam and Sharia, you realized that the two are exactly the same. The purpose of the Muslim Brotherhood is to establish an Islamic State under Sharia, which is the same purpose of Al-Qaeda, his beloved, Hamas, uh Islamic State, etc. And the reason is that's the purpose of Islam. And so the question I ask people is what does Islam teach Muslim children in US Islamic schools the purpose of Islam is? And they teach the purpose of Islam is to wage war uh jihad against the non-Muslims until Sharia is imposed on the earth. Okay, it's very simple. And uh it's so simple that 10-year-old children, Muslim children in U.S. Islamic schools understand it, but somehow our leaders do not, and it's not that's not accidental because of the massive information campaign being waged against our leadership, and the the large number of Muslims wearing suits advising our leadership inside of the key components of government, as well as you know, state agencies and local police departments telling them that you know Al-Qaeda is radical and true Islam is loving and peaceful, which by the way is exactly what George Bush told us, which was not true. And so this is that is the war. So long as they get our politicians to believe that they need to use quote good Muslims against the quote radical bad Muslims, and we keep using jihadis to tell us how to defeat jihadis, we will never win and we will lose. Right. And that's exactly where we are.

SPEAKER_14 1:01:14

No, absolutely, it's exactly where we are. And so I want to use that to kind of pivot over to to care, of course, the Center for American Islamic Relations, exactly what you're describing, by the way, this sort of political arm connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, who, of course, Governor Abbott has just designated recently as a a foreign terrorist organization and transnational criminal organization. Of course, they have offices in Houston, Austin, the DFW. So how does care sort of operate? I think it's exactly what you're describing already, so it might be a little redundant, but I think that care is sort of doing the exact thing that you were describing, saying, No, no, no, we're not connected to terrorism. In fact, there's a lawsuit going on right now that schools that have been connected with care are uh not receiving school voucher funds from the Texas School Choice Program. And they're saying, no, we're not connected to any of that violence.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:01

Well, uh, I know this might be shocking to hear, but that's not true. That's a lie. Care is care is Hamas. CARE is not affiliated with Hamas, they're not supporters of Hamas, they are Hamas. I actually have a document on my website called CARE is Hamas, and I use uh evidence, uh, a lot of which has been uh entered or put forth in in terrorism trials uh about care. But to put a quick point to it, care was the fourth organization created by the Muslim Brotherhoods Palestine Committee in the United States. The Palestine Committee is Hamas, and all four organizations are Hamas. One was the Holy Land Foundation, the other two also Hamas organizations, as is care. The fact that care still exists is evidence of the US government's uh negligence and really just uh unprofessional conduct and not uh prosecuting them and shutting them down for the same reasons the other three were shut down, is that they're terrorist organizations. So anything coming out of care is propaganda and untrue.

Guest Intro: John Guandolo’s Background

SPEAKER_14 1:03:16

Right. And so, of course, we're sitting here in Houston on this show, uh, which is one of the largest and also one of the most ideologically diverse cities in the country. So, of course, you've got sort of this Islamic influence infrastructure here in Houston and across the state of Texas. Uh, you have, of course, you have the Middle East Forum, which is documented, I think, something like$13 million in Texas state money going to Islamic organizations. What do we see that looking like here on the ground?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:45

Um, well, so first of all, let me to set this up, let me share a few things. Number one, there have been more terrorist attacks in Texas than any other state in the United States since 9-11. Uh, the headquarters for Hamas in the United States is Chicago. The number two hub for Hamas is Dallas, Texas. The Holy Land Foundation, which you referenced earlier, uh, was the largest Islamic charity in America in the DFW area in Richardson, Texas. And it was a Hamas organization, it was a terrorist organization. The largest Islamic charity in America was a terrorist organization. Uh, and it constituted the largest terrorism financing trial ever prosecuted in U.S. history. Houston, Texas, is the single worst city in the United States for the combined humanity and the network. Um put it on the table. You've got a massive jihadi network in Texas, uh, which includes things like Islamic societies, like the Islamic Society of Arlington, the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, which are part of the uh recognized uh through evidence and terrorism trials, jihadi networks. You have Islamic associations like the Islamic Association of North Texas, uh, which are Hamas organizations. You have Muslim American Society, you have uh groups like the Muslim Student Association, Muslim Brotherhood on every college campus almost, uh, major college campuses for sure, mid sized, which their purpose is to recruit jihadis and to show disinformation about Islam on college campuses. For Justice in Palestine, which is Hamas, American Muslims for Palestine on college campuses. You've got so many, you've got properties, which the FBI identifies as the financial support network for the jihad, and literally documents that are nearly 40 years old, declassified FBI documents. And Nate owns properties all over Harris County, Tarrant County, Travis County, Dallas County, and other parts of Texas. This is the Bank for the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States. And these networks are extensive. And I'm actually mapping out the networks in Texas right now. And they're just it's amazing that the number of organizations. I mean, in DFW alone, there are probably well over 200 organizations. Um, and these are all jihadi organizations working for the civilization jihad. It's a massive network. And so they work, they promote themselves, they work with churches, they work with synagogues, they promote themselves as moderates and as uh nice people. Uh and we're gobbling it up, and we're have no idea how to tell friends from foe in this. And uh they're working with your local county commissioners, they're working with me, we have mayors. The mayor of uh Austin hosted a care appreciation day just a couple a little over two weeks ago. It was the mayor of Plano, Texas, welcoming in arguably the senior jihadi scholar in North America, Yasar Khadi, on a you know, videoed program talking about if you don't agree with this guy, you should just leave Plano. I mean, it's so we they we not only have the bad bad guys, you've got people that should be good guys in Texas defending the bad guys.

Defining Jihad And Civilization Jihad

SPEAKER_14 1:07:57

Yeah, and I mean here in Houston, we have our mayor who attended the opening ceremony of the largest Ismaili center in in the U.S. here in Houston, something like a hundred thousand square feet of dedicated to like the arts, but it's an Islamic center. And so, of course, I want to shift gears over, though, talk a little about what's going on right now. Uh the Iran conflict has, of course, changed a little bit of the calculus. I think the FBI issued that they were on high alert, the DHS issued a national terrorism advisory. We've had four years of open borders, uh, which we've talked about endlessly here on the show. Um and Iran, I think we all know, has historically used proxies like Ezblood and criminal surrogates rather than their own agents on U.S. soil. And so I kind of want to tie that in here. Uh, you have this Muslim Brotherhood Network, care, the Houston mosques, the education centers, all this grand network. Does that sort of relate to the Iran threat? And if so, uh how how does that kind of play out with what we're dealing with right now in this foreign conflict?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:52

This is a great question. So the war in which America is engaged uh is being waged by hostile foreign powers using proxies, thousands of proxies in the United States to wage that war, primarily. They also send, Iran also sends its agents on the ground, just like Saudi Arabia and Qatar do, but mostly they're using their surrogate. So you have hostile foreign nations, and we'll just talk about the Islamic movement since that's the topic of conversation here, but not just Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, UAE, Egypt, and others uh using this massive jihadi network uh of thousands of organizations in the United States uh to wage war against the United States. And again, the vast majority of the war is being in the I would call it the pre-violent stage. They're setting up the networks, they're buying up properties, they're taking control of logistics chains uh like quick marks, like hotels, like uh uh communications. Uh there they've got their people in positions uh in places like local water authorities and things like that, because they're preparing for war. And we're asleep at the we're we're asleep at the wheel. Um so that's how this is being controlled by countries like Iran, and and it's worth noting uh without going into a deep uh discussion about the difference between Sunni and Shia in Islam, uh, but Iran is the largest Shia nation in the in the world, and Iran was for approximately ten years uh one of the biggest funders of Hamas, which Hamas is an inherent part of the Muslim Brotherhood. So they cross lines between Sunni and Shia because they're at war with the West uh and with the United States, and you have Islamic leaders uh explaining, you know, uh uh the United States is the last fastion of Christianity in the world, and if we take it, uh whether that's true or not, we can have a different discussion, but uh if if they take it, they believe they will take the world, and if they take Texas, they believe they take the United States. Right. And so you now have Imams and other Islamic leaders across the United States calling Muslims to Texas to wage jihad, and so they're coming to Texas. Uh they believe this is the last stand, and I believe uh that's why we are calling patriots to Texas to stand on the wall of the proverbial second Alamo, except this time it'll look like you know San Yacento uh from our perspective because we need to win this. This is it. I think the battle for the entire West is being waged in Texas, and uh it's the last, it will be, in my opinion, the last great battle because much of Europe is already gone. They're not falling, it's fallen. The UK is gone. Uh, you could make an argument that there are other nations that are gone. Um, to the point that even comedians and people on social media joke about it uh because there's an understanding that this is just the reality of where we are.

SPEAKER_14 1:12:22

Right. And so you mentioned, as we're getting close here to the wrap-up, you mentioned Christianity, that they view this as a war on Christianity and on Christians. Now, America is one of the last, in their opinions at least, one of the last bastions, I think we can all understand that it is at least at least a bastion, if not the last major one, of Christianity, especially in the West. And so, of course, we see that in the way that things are operating. Uh we we recently covered a story where you had a care-branded Ramadan display in a Houston element Houstonary elementary school. Uh, we have care lobbying at the councils across Texas here in Houston. Um you try to uh we we have an ongoing lawsuit because we try to put the Ten Commandments, which are not only Christian, but they're the very basis of our legal foundation here in the United States. You try to put the Ten Commandments on display in a public school classroom and you wind up in in appeals after appeals after appeals trying to get it shut down. But these same groups are totally content with Ramadan displays, Muslim imagery, you see, local politicians who are bending over backwards to accommodate Muslim advocacy groups who are showing up to these events, uh, who take their money, who take their endorsements, but those same officials will not do that for Christians. They will not do that for Christianity. There is such a double standard here. What what what what's going on there?

Holy Land Foundation And CAIR’s Role

SPEAKER_02 1:13:37

Well, I would uh phrase it a little differently. It appears like a double standard, uh, and it practically is. But you have, you know, the other piece to this puzzle is you have these two movements, not just the Islamic movement. You have a commune, a large communist movement in the United States uh that is operating, and either one of these movements on its own uh has a likelihood of bringing down the United States if left unopposed. But they're operating seamlessly at the ground level across the United States, everywhere from Wichita, Kansas to Boston to Portland to Tampa to Phoenix to Nashville and Charlotte, and yes, from Dallas to Houston to Austin to El Paso to San Antonio, and they're operating there, and so it's not just the um Islamic movement. You have these communists and uh people that are uh holding the door for them, many of whom are the GOP holding the door for these movements. Um but in most cases those movements, I mean the Democrat Party in the United States is the leading head of the communist movement in the United States. And if you don't believe me, just read the Democrat Party platform and then read the goals for the communist movement in the United States, and you'll see they're not just similar. Yeah, they're the same. Um and so they're the the communist movement is uh is the equivalent of the brown shirts and the Islamic movement of the brown black shirts of the you know, the Nazi Party, the Nationalist Socialist Party in in Germany back in the in the 30s. And this is this is what we have in the United States. They are doing it. And you have a lot of people uh that call themselves uh Americans uh that are not communists and not uh jihadis that are holding the door for them. And this is this will advance until the citizens decide they're they're done with it. But people that keep looking to Governor Abbott, who's taking millions of dollars from uh uh a Pakistani jihadi, or they're looking to President Trump uh to fix this, and really not just President Trump, the federal government. The federal government's not gonna fix it. The FBI's not gonna do anything about it, they haven't done anything about it for years. Um this is gonna be dealt with at the at the local county level by citizens who decide to get educated and actually uh dismantle these networks at the county level.

SPEAKER_14 1:16:21

Now, I'm glad you I'm glad you bring that up because that's how I want to kind of wrap up here. Of course, you mentioned Abbott, Abbott has designated care in the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. You have Ken Paxton, who's filed a suit against the Texas chapters of care. The legislature, of course, passed the Sharia Compounds bill. Uh you have Ted Cruz introducing the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist designation bill six different times. Bottom line for our listeners, they see a lot of this action that that supposedly is doing a lot, but we're still facing all these issues. You mention us kind of rising up, taking care of this at the local level, getting involved, getting informed. What are actionable steps to start heading in that direction?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:02

So first of all, I think it's important to remind people that uh you can't legislate your way to victory in a war. You can't change a policy. That's not how wars are won. Wars are won by identifying and vanquishing enemies, and this is a war. So I think that has to be the first thing said. Uh I've worked this from the national level to the state level down to the local level for as long or longer than anyone else in the country for 23, 24 years. And um none of what uh has been tried works. What I have found does work. Uh, when I moved to Texas eight years ago um and started a training program for citizens and a separate program for police, national guard, military folks, uh, then we started seeing a real wildfire catch. So the training, it's called Into Action for Citizens, and we teach citizens how to identify these networks and lawfully flesh them out of your community. And there are a lot of things you can do to flush these networks out. Uh, and it's not all political and it's not all legal, uh, meaning like prosecutorial, it's all lawful. Um, but there are a lot of ways you can make uh organizations and individuals uh feel unwelcome in a community, and we should be making jihadis feel unwelcome in the community. Um so that's the first thing, and then there's a three-day program for law enforcement, and uh now um we have been uh almost uh overwhelmed by the number of people across Texas who want to get trained and get their communities trained because it's a very simple training. And I think what people are shocked at is how bad the situation is because it's much worse than we've had time to talk about here in this short time. Uh but the training uh organize shows the you know average citizen how to organize as a team, how to operate as a team, and how to do these things uh within the bounds of the law and the constitution uh to to crush the enemy in their local county level and reestablish America's founding principles in a Republican form of government as the Constitution requires at the local county level. Um, and that from what we're seeing, and we've had success in different areas of the country, but we're primarily focused on Texas and Oklahoma right now because it's really the only two places I think uh things have a chance of uh taking hold. But the the enemy is well entrenched in Texas and we have a lot of work to do. But I'll say this if I didn't think it were possible, if victory were not possible, I wouldn't be doing this because it would be a waste of time. But I don't believe it's a waste of time. I think victory is possible, uh, but we need to stop. I mean, I just before I got on the call with you, I scrolled through probably hundreds of social media posts on X, and uh oh too many people are still, you know, asking, you know, governor Abbott, what are you gonna do? He's not gonna do anything. It's up to the people, it's up to Texans to take Texas back. And uh so, you know, I encourage uh a great first step. And it's the only if I thought there was something else, with all of my training experience in doing this, I would be doing that. The only thing I think is effective is this training uh to train communities how to do this and how to fortify their counties and liberate their counties from this uh scourge of Islamic jihad.

SPEAKER_14 1:20:54

Absolutely. So as we wrap up here, that has been John Guandalo, former Marine, former FBI special agent, a man, again, who has been sounding the alarm on this for something like 20 years. Uh you've you've written books. You of course have all this research, and I'm sure a lot of it is accessible. As we wrap up here, how can people stay up to date with all the research that you're doing with all this training and find more information about the work that you're doing?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:19

So my website is the best place, johnguandolo.com, g u A N D-O-L-O, Johnguandolo.com. I've got, yeah, the books for sale and some like five hours of videos on Sharia for sale, but I've also got a lot of free resources on the website um to help explain what's going on, as well as a report, two reports I've done, uh one called the Takedown of Texas, which lays out uh kind of the communist and Islamic movements in Texas, and that's you know, six, seven years old now, but we're updating that. And then uh a report of Hamas in America as well as other stuff. Um, a lot of resources, and then I'm on X at J Guandolo 54271. But if you just search J Guandolo, you'll find me. Um, and those are the best ways to keep track of what I'm up to.

Texas Networks, Houston Hubs, And Influence

SPEAKER_14 1:22:16

Well, excellent. John, I want to say one final time here. We appreciate you coming on for giving us your time this morning, for all the research that you're putting into this. Here on the station, we've been we've been talking all about Islam and how I hear these claims from politicians about, well, we need to manage Korea and all these sorts of things when when it seems like this is really a a very large battle, a very large spiritual and physical battle that we're in. And so I appreciate you coming on for doing all this research, uh, for staying in the fight, despite the fact that many times I'm sure it certainly looks, I don't want to say hopeless, but you look at it and you see the direction and you say, I'm warning you. And so I appreciate your continued warnings, your continued research, your continued activism in this, and for bringing that to our station this morning. I appreciate your time.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:57

Well, thank you for saying that. I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_14 1:22:59

And uh God bless you. I look forward to talking with you again. Absolutely. With that being said, ladies and gentlemen, when we get back from the break, we're gonna we're gonna talk just a little bit more. Um I'm gonna talk a little bit more about this and how this connects to other countries and how we also have other influences in our state and how we have to eat these things out. If we want any chance at remaining Texas, we're talking about making America great again. How about making Texas Texas again? And that requires recreating sort of the Alamo type situation where we're willing to stand and fight at any cost. We'll talk all about that when we get back from the break. Text in 713-779-5978. That is 713-779-KYST. You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. I'm your host, Michael Wilson. And I'll be right back after this short break.

SPEAKER_14 1:27:58

So we had a couple text. That I'll read before we jump into this. The first one says, Thank you, Lone Star Conservative, for having this man on this morning. As you likely know, I'm shedding light on an Islamic center planned and actually already quietly operating right here in Crosby. I have written a resolution to go to the Senate District 4 convention at the end of this month. Keep on speaking on this. If we just sit on our hands and be quiet, they will take us over. The other Dick Sand just says, Thank you for that interview, Lone Star Conservative. I appreciate uh the gratitude. I I actually am just as grateful as all our listeners for having that. Um there there are not enough people who are willing to speak candidly about what's happening. Far too many people are far too entrenched in the political machine where they believe they can't say what's true for risk of sounding radical, for risk of sounding rude, for risk of sounding not nice. And I'm always reminded, you guys might not know Vody Bachum, an excellent pastor, by the way, passed away recently, uh lost a good one there, and he had a sermon that he did, uh, I believe it was up in the woodlands, actually. He had a sermon that he did on what the culture demands of Christians these days. And he said that you have people, non-Christians, who are demanding things of us. And what the modern culture has done is they took the Ten Commandments and said, actually, we need to add some. You know, the 11th commandment, which says, Thou shalt be nice, which extrapolated gives you the 12th commandment, thou shalt not be manly. And I I that was years ago when I first heard it, and I'm reminded of it frequently, because that's exactly what I see of our spineless politicians who, while we are grappling with what is nothing less than an ideological war in our country that we have allowed to get to this point, right? This is all this is all preventable. It was all preventable by when people say you're racist for not taking immigrants from those countries. You just say, Okay, don't care. We we we had every available opportunity to just never let these people in our country in the first place. And we allowed this completely lacking in masculinity perspective to dictate what we let happen in our country. Our politicians handed us over to the enemy because they didn't want to be called mean names. They didn't want to be bullied. And so whenever I hear politicians, I'll stand up for your rights, I'll stand up to whatever violence may come. It's like you won't even stand up to somebody insulting you. Sorry if I don't trust you at all. From from of the vast majority of our politicians. And so it's important that we have people in the grassroots, on radio stations, in the news, uh, at every single level of our culture speaking out on this. And something that John said that I want to highlight before we wrap this segment up that I actually think is incredibly crucial to understand. He talked a little bit about when he talked about Islamic schools here in the US. He also addressed it when he talked about civilizational jihad, which is still a form of jihad. It's just not currently a violent one per se. And he talked about it when he talked about the goal of Islam. Uh, when he talked about uh, you know, the differences here. And it's something that I've been saying for years, by the way, which is very clear to everyone who's ever looked at the Quran, which is very clear to anyone who's ever researched Islam in general. Again, they teach this to their children. The goal of the religion. This is not the goal of those who are radicals. This is not the goal of those who commit bombings and shootings. This is the goal of those who follow the religion inherently because it's in their defining book. We as Christians have goals, right? What what what's we have the Great Commission and we have very clear commands, right? You're to love your neighbor as yourself, and you're to love the Lord your God. We're we're very clearly called to that. And you are to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. We understand that that is our mission as Christians. We have our definable literature, which makes it very clear what we're called to do. So do Muslims, by the way. And their literature is very clear that their goal is to subjugate everyone who's not a Muslim, to wage war so that Sharia can be the law of the land across the globe. That is the goal of every single Muslim. Not only the bombers, not only the fighters, not only those who are actively associated with ISIS or Hamas or Hezbollah or any other group. This is why he said it's organized and unorganized. It's it's both. Because you can have Christian groups and churches that are promoting it, and you also have everyday Christians who are just evangelizing to people that they meet. It's organized and it's unorganized, the same as every other religion. The only primary difference is the evil that exists when you look at Islam. When you look at the tactics that are employed. And so when we talk about this sort of influence, when we talk about what's happening, I cannot stand the people who and I'm not talking about the people who are misinformed or the people who just aren't aware because it's all they've heard from the media their whole life. When they say, oh, well, it's not, it's it's it's the radical Muslims. It's not the everyday suit wearin' Muslims who are kind and they align with us on ideological issues. You've probably heard the claim from conservatives. Well, Muslims are are pretty conservative. They're pretty traditional. It's actually good to align with them in the current fight against communism and liberalism. No, it isn't. It is two heads of the same demon, ladies and gentlemen. It is not some sort of group that aligns with us on a lot of things. They they don't. Just because we have some similar laws, just because they have some similar beliefs here and there, does not make them aligned with us. And Islam is taking over our nation. This is not some sort of hyperb hyperbolic claim. This is not some sort of me coming out here and trying to fear-monger everyone and say, oh, yeah, Muslims are killing you. That's not my claim at all. What I'm saying is this is a battle for the heart, the soul, and the land of this country. They want to destroy and wipe out Christianity. That is not only their stated goal, but it's very clear their unstated goal too. And they're honest about it, they talk about it, open doors, they'll tell you about it, they'll speak at conferences about it, they'll talk to politicians about it, and then we have the gall to turn around and say, Yeah, but we don't want you to call us racist. That would just be the worst thing in the world. I know that we're literally sacrificing our children. I know that we're literally giving up the country that our forefathers fought and died for. I know that we're just literally throwing away everything that God blessed us with on the altar of being called something rude. But we just can't, we can't do it. We can't stand up for the truth. Well, I I I will make you one guarantee. And this is the only guarantee I can make, because I can't predict the future. I can't tell you with certainty that that I know what's going to happen tomorrow or next month or next year or in 10 years from now. I can't do any of that. I'm not God, I'm not on mission, I don't know everything. What I can guarantee, because it's within my power, is that as long as I am alive and have the opportunity that God has blessed me with to speak the truth, that's what I'm going to do. And that gets me called me names, that gets me death threats, which it has, that's not going to dissuade me, that's not going to discourage me. And if anything, it's actually going to encourage me because I know that when you're on the mark, people are going to hate you for it. Jesus made that demonstrably clear. Our Lord and Savior was crucified for what he said, for what he did. And he said, they will hate you because they first hated me. That means that shedding light on things, exposing the works of darkness, speaking the truth is going to put a target on our back. I I am I am not living in some sort of naive optimism that I believe that's not going to happen. I know that it is. It's already happened, it's going to keep happening. But the guarantee I can make is that as long as there is breath in my lungs, that's not going to change. I I'm not gonna I'm not gonna bend the knee to being nice or to refusing to speak the truth because that's not very nice of you, or well, we're gonna call you mean names and we're gonna, we're gonna cancel you, we're gonna dox you, we're gonna ruin your life, we're gonna ruin your reputation. I don't care. Do anything that you need to do. Do whatever you want to do to me, and it's going to change nothing about what I believe and what I'm willing to say. Right? And I that's why I've said so many times. I would be in a terrible situation if I lived in Europe because I wouldn't have a voice because I would be jailed. Because I I am not, if I have a flaw, that I am incapable of holding my tongue when there's truth. And so I was I was very happy to have this interview. I've been looking forward to it for a while. John Guandolo is excellent. He's very well researched on all of this. He has he has so much information at his disposal from the 20 years he's dedicated specifically to this fight. And we have to be aware of what's happening. And that's why step one, as I've always said on the show, step number one is in exposing it, in producing the information and informing people of the truth. And that that's my goal every single day here on the air. Not just with Islam, but with everything. Now, speaking of that, sort of with everything, uh, we talked about Iran for a bit. And I want to highlight that, you know, you you see the argument from the federal administration as well as from everybody that knows anything, which is that it's not just Iran. Iran has multiple different, of course, allies. One of the big ones, of course, as we are all probably well aware, is China. And so China's played that game, right, where they're like, yeah, we'll we'll align with Islamic countries if it means the downfall of the West, if we can destroy our main competitor on the global stage. And so that's why you see, well, not only is Islam majorly targeting Texas, but as we've covered extensively, so is China. China is extensively coming after Texas. And so yet again, we have a story that we'll cover to wrap up the show, which is that we've now got this review of Chinese-made medical devices over yet again, cybersecurity concerns, the data of Texans and of Americans being confiscated by the Chinese Communist Party. We'll talk all about what China's doing, all that sort of allyship when we get back from the break. As always, if you would like to text in, let us know your thoughts on any of the stuff that we're covering. We'd love to hear from our listeners at 713-779-5978. That is 713-779-KYST. You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and Lord willing, I will return to wrap up the show after the break.

Post-Interview Reflections And Mobilization

SPEAKER_14 1:42:34

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and you're listening to the Lone Star Conservative brought to you by Texellent AC Service. So, of course, you have those connections, and so they're coming after Texas to every available front. You've now had state health agencies and public university systems to review potential cybersecurity risks associated with certain Chinese manufactured medical devices following federal warnings that the equipment could allow unauthorized access to patient data, which of course comes more than a year after after federal regulators first warned that some internet connected patient monitoring devices made in China contained cybersecurity vulnerabilities. And so in a letter sent yesterday to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Department of State Health Services and Texas Cyber Command were told that they're now going to assess cybersecurity protections and an inventory network-connected medical devices in state-owned facilities. It wrote, maintaining Texans' physical security and protecting their personal privacy, especially as it relates to something as important and intimate as personal medical data, is of paramount importance. We will not let communist China spy on Texans. State-owned medical facilities must ensure that there are safeguards in place to protect Texans' private medical data. And so, of course, uh yet again, as I was mentioning, you see this sort of allyship and you see the sort of stuff that's that's ongoing in these connections to the way they're trying to come after Texas and how Texas is the last bastion of America, and America's the last bastion of the Christian West in the world. It is as simple as that. That's why they're coming after us so violently and so flagrantly. One thing that I did not say in the last segment that I regret not saying that I want to say very clearly, mentioning, you know, the fact that I'm not going to give up, that I'm going to keep pushing on this, that it's going to be, you know, understood, and I'm going to be clear and I'm going to speak the truth about all of these things, are where that comes from. Because I want to make it very clear, I would be totally incapable of such strength and dedication of my own accord. That is the simple truth. I am not of my own accord strong enough to do any of this. Strong enough to withstand the violence and the threats and the sort of political prosecution that comes as a result of speaking these things. That's not of my own strength. That comes by the grace of God and the grace of God alone. I just wanted to make that very clear as we wrap up the show. With that being said, I'm doing a special afternoon show this afternoon from 5 to 6 p.m. if you'd like to tune in. We're going to have on Telgi Roofing a very exciting interview at 5 o'clock, and then we'll do the rest of the afternoon show. If you don't have time for that, it is what it is. But we'll also, of course, be on air again from 6 to 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I would encourage you to enjoy the rest of your Tuesday. Get outside, enjoy it, and Lord willing, I'll see you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Ladies and gentlemen, you've been listening to the Lone Star Conservative. I'm your host, Michael Wilson. Godspeed.
