Texas Forces A Hospital To Stop Child Gender Procedures

A Texas children’s hospital agreeing to a $10 million settlement is not just a headline, it is a turning point with ripple effects across healthcare, law, and the culture fight. We walk through what the Texas Children’s Hospital agreement reportedly requires: halting youth gender transition procedures, firing doctors, tightening compliance, and creating a fully funded detransition clinic. We also dig into the Medicaid fraud allegations at the center of the case and why whistleblowers keep becoming the story inside the story.

Then we shift to a warning about political violence after reports of threats at Houston’s Ismaili Center and a separate mosque attack in San Diego. I make the case that discipline matters, that self-defense is not the same as targeting innocents, and that reckless rage hands your opponents a narrative they will use for years. If you care about immigration, public safety, and the long game of persuasion, this segment is meant to challenge your instincts, not just feed them.

From there we hit two more Texas legal fights: the state lawsuit against “Tex AM” for allegedly operating as an unlicensed, unaccredited university while using branding that could confuse students with Texas A&M, and Ken Paxton’s investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center over claims tied to fundraising and extremist-group funding. We close with Houston election fatigue and a blunt reminder that low turnout is a choice, and it is one that changes outcomes.

Welcome And Station Updates

SPEAKER_05 0:04

From deep in the heart of Texas, Houston's gone loving baby. The voice of reason is the most dark conservative Michael Wilson.

SPEAKER_09 0:31

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and you're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. My voice, I don't even know what from, I haven't been talking a time, but my voice has taken a dive for the worse, which means, no, this is not a computer trying to pretend to be me. Uh no, I have not been replaced like Joe Biden, and I'm some new person. My voice is just a little dead. So bear with me throughout this two-hour show with this voice. Hopefully, hopefully, maybe maybe it self-corrects by the second hour. I have a feeling that's not going to happen. We'll see. Hopefully, it doesn't sound too bad coming over the radio waves. That's the only thing I'm concerned about, is making sure that I'm not, you know, talking and you guys are hearing it and it's just kind of like doing terrible things to you because you have to deal with this in your ears. Nevertheless, by the way, we had a great time. Um, and again, I when I say we, I have to be careful because I was not there, but the radio station was. And so the colloquial we had a great time at our first ever big crawfish boil. You guys, uh, many of you that listen to the show probably made it out there. I hope you had the opportunity to make it out there. Uh, from everything I saw and heard, it was an absolutely incredible event. So, yeah, it was a great time over at Aegis Arms. You guys remember we do our pistols and pizza event, I think quarterly. And this quarter we decided to do pistols and pinchers, of course, for the crawfish boil. And so we gave away multiple different prizes. You know, of course, we we gave a special edition to a bourbon package. We gave a Springfield Echelon Echelon gear pack. Lots of cool stuff out there. And so, as always, keep up to date with this show, all other shows, and uh and our Facebook page as well, is where a lot of this will come from. And that's where we'll have all the updated details on all of our upcoming events for May, for June, and throughout the rest of the summer. And I promise you, we'll be at a lot of different things from Republican events to gun shows, and of course to upcoming events that we'll be hosting that we'll talk all about here on this show. We'll we'll keep you posted. We'll make sure you know all about all

Texas Children’s $10M Settlement

SPEAKER_09 2:56

of that. Now, with that being said, we have a pretty big story coming out from Texas Children's Hospital. You guys might have seen this over the weekend if you were paying attention to the news. If you get your news in terms of local and statewide news from this show, well, I was not here yesterday, so you might have missed it. But Texas Children's is kind of found themselves in a little bit, I don't want to say hot water, because they found themselves in hot water a while ago. That's not that's not new. But the response to the hot water they found themselves in, well, that is new. Apparently, Texas Children's Hospital has now agreed to create a detransition clinic and and essentially pay $10 million in what is being touted as a historic settlement. And so, again, this this was after, you know, we had an investigation that lasted years, years into alleged Medicaid fraud, sex change procedures on minors that were still going on, allegedly, at Texas Children's. I mean, for a long time after we banned that happening in our state. And of course, that was a whole other fight, if you guys remember back when that was all going on. And I know today, looking back, it actually is it's pretty funny because it's easy to look back and say, man, those are some crazy times. You know, your your kids, your grandkids, they're gonna grow up. And if we do our jobs right, if we do a good job, they'll grow up in a completely different environment than some of us had to deal with years ago. When they grow up, you're gonna tell them, you know, there used to be a time where they they allowed sometimes even groomed kids, often even groomed kids, into literal mutilation of their own body to in an attempt to change the sex that God made them. And your kids are gonna look at you and say, that's that's apocalyptic. Or or that's even more historic, right? That's that's ancient, right? That sounds like something they would have done hundreds, if not thousands of years ago in barbaric wastelands. You go, no, no, it happened. And you drive by at that hospital. That's where it happened. And so I we're now kind of out of a lot of that. Of course, there's still really big things going on that we have to fix morally in this country. But a lot of the stuff that was going on a few years ago, people kind of have have had a lot to kind of come back and combat that. And so, of course, many of us, we are now kind of I don't want to say in a better spot, but we sit around and we say, you know, things were worse a few years ago. If you guys remember 2020. If you guys remember how bad things got with the fiery but mostly peaceful summer of love, of course, you also had COVID in the mix of that. You, of course, had all of the all of the biggest woke kind of coming out of the woodworks. This is when the real push was made to trans kids, and anyone who was not on board with transing children was inherently a bigot and intolerant, and they hated their own kids. And that was all societally accepted for a while. I mean, it's kind of taken a turn back where now you're kind of the outcast if you trans your kids. Now you're the one getting made fun of. But there was a while where it was the exact opposite, where where the mainstream view, and this was perpetrated by the news and the politics, but the mainstream view was that you were the bigot. You were the problem if you did not or were not willing to trans your own kids. And you know, I just realized who my voice kind of sounds like. We'll pretend like our special guest today is RFK Jr., he's he's running the show for me today, guys. Anyways, so now, years later, after all of that stuff with secret transitioning and alleged illegal transitioning, what should have been illegal transitioning the whole time because they're kids. Now this has resulted in a sweeping settlement between Texas Children's Hospital and the Office of the Attorney General, of course, under Ken Paxton, that is going to force the hospital to pay $10 million, fire five different doctors, halt gender transition procedures, and create the nation's first detransition clinic. Now, the $10 million is great. Uh, don't get me wrong, but from a statewide perspective, that's really, I think you guys are well aware, not that much. That's certainly not the most exciting part of the settlement. You know, a lot of the headlines it reads, $10 million settlement. And so you start to think, wow, $10 million, look at us go. And it seems kind of like a tiny little win. But that's actually the smallest portion of this. The firing is actually bigger than that. Uh the halting of illegal procedures is more important than that. And and really the intentional hosting of the detransition clinic is bigger news than that. And so, according to the Attorney General's office, the settlement resolves allegations that Texas children's improperly build Texas Medicaid for sex change interventions using false diagnosis codes, despite long-standing state policy prohibiting Medicaid coverage for such procedures. Even before it was necessarily illegal for those procedures to take place, it wasn't going to be covered under Medicaid. And so they were lying in when they presented a lot of these procedures so that Medicaid would cover it, so that these kids for sure could get what they wanted. And so, under the new agreement, this new settlement, Texas Children is going to establish a multidisciplinary clinic intended to provide care to patients who previously underwent gender transition procedures. The hospital is going to fully fund the clinic for five years with services provided free of charge, by the way, to patients. The settlement also requires Texas Children's to terminate and permanently revoke privileges for five physicians accused of performing the procedures. The hospital further agreed not to ever provide gender transition services moving forward and to adopt new ethics and compliance measures. As part of the agreement, Texas Children is going to amend its bylaws to automatically revoke privileges for physicians who violate Texas law in terms of transitioning children, using medical interventions, false diagnosis codes, whatever process they use to do it. If someone gets caught doing that in the future, that is against the new ethics policy at Texas Children's, therefore, those people are going to face the scrutiny rather than the hospital. And he added, quote, today is a monumental day in the fight to stop the radical transgender movement. This historic settlement reflects an institutional and fundamental cultural shift away from radical gender ideology. In addition to helping establish the first ever detransition clinic and securing millions, this settlement will ensure that the deranged child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired and held accountable. And remember, um this all happened years and years ago. Uh, but here on the show we actually reported the whistleblower, Dr. Ethan Haim. You guys remember that whole debacle, um, who kind of allegedly confirmed uh that they were still administering puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, to, of course, those who were underage, to minors. Um, and so then he became the target of federal prosecution under the Joe Biden administration. No, when the Joe Biden administration found out that there was still alleged uh transitioning going on, alleged puberty blockers, alleged cross-ex hormones, you'd think, you'd think if that was all illegal, which it should be, or it was, you'd go after the people who were transitioning minors, the people who were prescribing medication that is life-altering to minors. That's who you'd expect you'd go after. No, no, no. The Biden administration actually went after Dr. Ethan Haym for whistleblowing, right? They went after the guy who was willing to risk his career. They wanted to ruin his life for what he did. And so federal prosecutors accused him of obtaining patient information without authorization.

unknown 12:00

Right.

SPEAKER_09 12:01

Essentially, they they go after him for HIPAA violations, is essentially what happened. And then you also had a second whistleblower, and that was Nurse Vanessa Sivich, uh, who later came forward with allegations that doctors at Texas Children's had improperly billed Texas Medicaid for gender transition procedures. Of course, despite exhaustive state policy, makes it very clear you can't do that. And so Christopher Ruffo, who did investigative journalism in this kind of field at the time, Sibich discovered that numerous teenage patients receiving gender transition interventions to the hospital were Medicaid recipients under the care of physicians allegedly billing the state program. And so, of course, once you do all that, you've now very blatantly violated state law. It's very clear. And so the state was, of course, holding all the cards. I mean, if you assume any sort of card game, we had the better cards. And so we went after them. And we've now reached a settlement. And of course, uh Paxton also highlighted that we reached the settlement with the help and coordination of the presidential Trump administration and the DOJ from the Trump administration. And so, of course, Texas Children's kind of wants to play it off as not a huge deal and say, well, we just wanted to avoid prolonged litigation. That was our goal. We just didn't want to be in court for the next 10 years wrapping this up.

unknown 13:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 13:25

But if you hadn't done anything wrong, you wouldn't be in court the next 10 years. Right. You you would or you would continue to fight, send your lawyers, you're set. It doesn't operate it doesn't it doesn't impact your operations much at all for you to fight for your innocence if you are in fact innocent, right? But they didn't do that. They were unwilling to do that. And so it appears like it appears, and of course, that this is the point of a settlement is that they don't actually have to admit guilt, right? They get to kind of walk away scot-free in the regards of, did you do anything wrong? No, I didn't do anything wrong. No, not at all. And yet we're walking away from this settlement, very clearly having those who won and those who lost. And the losers said this: quote, today we made the difficult decision to settle with the Texas Attorney General and the Department of Justice, closing a chapter that has been wrought with falsehoods and distractions. To be clear, we are settling to protect our resources from endless and costly litigation. And Texas Children's also pushed back on the underlying allegations, right? They came out and they said that internal and external reviews continue to support the facts that we have been compliant with all laws. And of course, the whole time they've kind of come out and they've said, oh, gender-affirming care, our gender affirming care program, um it's fine, and any controversies, any sort of campaigns against us is it they're unconscionable campaigns of mistruths and mischaracterizations, as you often do when you're lying. You have to then say that every whistleblower and every investigation and every piece of evidence that's found, well, that's all lies. We're the ones telling the truth. And so obviously we know this has been going on. Obviously, that we still have a long way to go when it comes to the radical transgender movement. Because to be clear, I know we had to start with kids because obviously they're the um in terms of a lot of these procedures, they are undeniably the most innocent, right? They're the ones that need the most protection. They're the ones who need the most in that regard. But that's not the end of the fight, to be very clear. I know there are a lot of libertarians who would tell you, well, adults, consenting adults can do whatever they want. If they're consenting adults, it's totally fine. That's not true. That actually completely derails um the entirety of civil society. If consenting adults can just do whatever they want, what do you think that you'll have a pretty country? The answer, by the way, is no. That's exactly how you get destructive countries. Um I'll give you an example. There was a battle back in the Crusades, um, really the first major battle in general. And it it was it was against the massive army of the, of course, Muslims, the massive Arab army facing off against the Christians uh in Yarmouk. And this is again, it was kind of the first actual major battle between two large factions in the Crusades. And I mean, this was this was, you know, all the way back, I think 636. So so again, this was near the beginning. And so um it was incredibly surprising because we kind of expected, or you'd kind of hope, or if you hadn't done the research, you'd kind of you know say, well, the crusaders won, right? No, this is the first major battle we actually lost. We were actually devastated. Despite having all these men and having the strategy and the land, didn't matter. We had a massive loss. Right? Of course, we all know the story, we came back and you know, we know what happens later. But a lot of people forget the battle of Yarmuk. You're wondering, Michael, why are you bringing up a 1,500, 1,400-year-old battle? I'll tell you, it's very interesting, actually. Because in much of Christendom at the time, which refers, of course, to the greater Europe area, which included Yarmouk, but it included many others, it was, of course, Christendom. We know that it was Christian. But what does Christian really mean? Because you can look at America and say, well, this percentage of people still say they're Christian, still say they're evangelical, whatever. What actually is Christianity? Well, it's more than just the external actions. It's more than just showing up to church, taking communion, right? It is the combination of internal and external, of justification first, and then sanctification, right? The process of becoming more like Christ. And if you skip either of those steps, right, then it's not a Christian nation. If you skip the justification and you're not being saved, then it's just fake works designed to make it look like a Christian nation on the outside. But if you skip the internal faith, well, if you or if you skip the the works, if you skip the, well, that that that the gospel takes root and changes you, then we're we're I'm a little lost on where the Holy Spirit is and dwelling in your life. The reason I bring up Yarmouk, and to connect this all back, is that there was a great religious philosopher at the time, I forget his name, and he was writing about the Battle of Yarmouk. And he wasn't even necessarily his argument, it was the argument that a lot of people in Europe were making, and he was just kind of recording it down. And the argument was that the crusaders deserved a loss at this massive battle because of the sin that was hiding behind closed doors in Europe at the time. That you know, the church was incredibly popular. People were all doing the sacraments, they were taking the Eucharist, right? They they they did all these things that they were called to do. And yet in their homes, it was very clear that there was no spirit indwelling in their lives. That they did all of the external works that made it look to everyone like they had faith. And when I say they were doing things, you have to understand there were there were plenty of different evidences that men were dressing up like women to have unnatural relations with other men, which sounds a whole awful lot like transgenderism to me. And so when I say it's not just that we have to stop it from having any kids, we have to stop it. It's because it's evil. And God will judge nations for the evil they commit. I wanna I wanna I wanna sit, I don't want to sit around and say, well, with my modern sensibilities, God doesn't do that anymore. I'm not a deist. I'm not gonna sit around and pretend like God doesn't judge nations anymore. He certainly does. And I I would rather not be on his bad side because I've seen what happens to nations that are. I've looked at what he did to his own people, Israel, in the Old Testament. I look at what he's done to plenty of nations since. From destruction to total wipeout. Nations that have been erased almost from history. Why? Sin. And so we have to fix this. That means that it's not just the kids that we have to stop from being transitioned. We have to end transgenderism as an ideology, nip it in the bud, end it, stop it. And Lord willing, you know, Lord willing, maybe we can uh salvage this country and take it back to a time of actual greatness.

Why Violence Is Not The Answer

SPEAKER_09 21:15

With that being said, the way not to do that is coming up next. And the way not to take back this country. And I know, I know there's a lot of temptation towards stuff like this from a lot on our side, and we'll talk about it. Uh, but a man is now accused of threatening to kill all the Muslims and Jews at the Houston's Ismaili Center. This comes also as we have this San Diego mosque where some teenage gunmen opened fire, killing three different men and then themselves. We'll talk about both those stories when we get back. Because always, if you would like to text into the show, the number is 713 779 5978. That is 713 779 KYST. You are listening to the Lone Star Conservative. I'm your Michael Wilson. Don't go anywhere because he'll be right back, Lord Willing, to talk all about the way not to handle taking back our country after this short break.

The Medicare Minute with Justin White is brought to you by Senior Health Services.

SPEAKER_21 23:33

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_09 26:31

So a 29-year-old man accused of driving to Houston's new Ismaili Center and threatening to kill all the Muslims and Jews has been charged with a terroristic threat, according to court records. The allegations were detailed in a Harris County court filing accusing Jacoby Point Dexter of the felony offense. Officials said the incident occurred last month, but he was arrested over this past weekend. He's also been released on a $30,000 bond, by the way. In an interview, he denied the accusations and said that he wouldn't attack anyone, though his arraignment is scheduled for the end of next month on June 30th. The complaint, signed by Houston Police Officer C.J. King, says that Pointexter drove onto the Smiley Center property and spoke to a security guard at the front gate. He said, This is our hood and you guys are taking over, which is all true so far. The document says the center has increased its security measures and the incident has disrupted normal operations. The center opened to the public, of course, back in December. We were actually reported we reported on the grand opening of all that, mainly because, of course, you had Mayor Whitmeyer among other city leaders that were present. And you have, of course, it was the largest Ismail center, I think, in the U.S. when it was unveiled. They're also, you know, offering this space for prayer, art exhibitions, Muslim music recitals, all of those sorts of things that we don't want here. But nevertheless, the reason I bring up this story, it's not a really long story. It's being a terroristic threat. It's it's largely because of a comment he made where he said he wants to kill them all, basically. Um and kind of highlight for a moment this is not the way. I I I understand there actually have been times in the past where violence was the answer. That's why if you ever hear somebody in politics say violence is never the answer. They're they're just they're just begging. They are begging for brownie points. That's all that it is. They're not honest, they're not willing to say hard truths. You cannot trust a politician that says that. If any politician, no matter how much you like them, says that, they either severely, severely miscommunicated or they're playing a game with with their position. Because of course there's a time for violence. Of course there is. But knowing when that time is is a very important facet of being on the right or the wrong side of history. And right now, attacking people in mosques is not the time for violence. At least not yet. And so to kind of highlight where that did actually go wrong, let's jump over to San Diego for a moment. I know this is not state news, but it kind of ties into the city news of this guy making threats, because this is all already going on. Two teenage shooters opened fire at a San Diego mosque just yesterday and killed three men and then killed themselves when they ran away a few blocks in an attack the police are now investigating as a hate crime. Now there was no specific threat made in advance against the Islamic Center of San Diego, but authorities found evidence that these suspects engaged in generalized hateful rhetoric. Um he declined to give more details. This is coming out from the San Diego Police Chief Scott Wall, uh, but he said that the circumstances that led up to this would come out in the days ahead. Now, before the attack, officers were already looking for one of the teenagers since his mother called police, concerned that her son was suicidal and had run away. There were weapons missing from the home, and the mother's vehicle was gone as well. Zurge took on even more urgency as police learned that he was dressed in camouflage and with an acquaintance. Details that were, of course, unexpected for someone that was going to leave and go kill themselves. You wouldn't expect someone committing suicide to take camouflage and a friend. Nevertheless, police began using um whatever technology they could find to find the 78-year-old, including automatic license plate readers, you know, flaw cameras, stuff like that. And so among those killed was a mosque security guard. Um and so the center is, of course, the largest mosque in San Diego County. It includes the Al-Rashid School, uh, which offers courses in in Arabic, Islamic studies, and the Quran for those who are five and older. Police also responded within four minutes of being called, gunshots were ring out a few blocks away, uh, where a landscaper was shot, but ultimately uninjured, or shot at, but uninjured. And the shooters were then found dead, and a vehicle stopped in the middle of a road nearby. Aerial TV footage showed more than a dozen children holding hands and being walked out of the parking lot of the center. And so it it's it's fascinating to me. Because it it seems like people are totally incapable of understanding what moment it is in our history and what what's what portion of history we're actually in. Because again, as I was kind of highlighting before these stories, is there ever a time for violence? Well, of course there is. Of course there is a time for violence, right? If somebody breaks into your home and they want to steal your kids, I ba I I I certainly think that you'll quickly realize there is a time for violence. Any politician says there's no time for violence. Would you feel that way if someone was in your house right now trying to kidnap your your kids or or hurt your wife? You're telling me there's no time for violence, really. Let's see how you feel about that. And so, of course, there is a time for violence, but there's also, of course, a time to not be violent. And right now, we still have a lot of options ahead of us, and it's going to be a long political fight in terms of fixing immigration into this country, fixing Islamic influence issues, fixing a lot of these problems that have become when we're in mainstream, but we still have a lot of political options left on the table. We have not yet been overtaken. It's not over. It's not time for a second revolution. We're not there. And it's certainly not gonna get there by targeting a random mosque. I I mean, I promise you, that's not gonna be that's not gonna be the solution. But of course, for if that day ever comes, or if somebody breaks into your house, or or if the government decides to overstep its authority, as always, you need to be prepared for that as well.

Gun Rights Pitch And Preparedness

SPEAKER_09 32:33

And that's why you should join with our sponsor, Gun Owners of America. You see, Gun Owners of America understands that regardless of the reason you have a right to keep and bear arms. That means for self-defense, it means for government tyranny, it means for accountability. You have a right given to you by God, and enshrined in the Constitution by man much greater than I. And Gun Owners of America, to be completely honest with you, is the only real no-compromise gun lobby in the USA. They fight tooth and nail through campaigns, lobbies, and of course, through lawsuits against tyranny, against oppression, and against violations of your constitutional second amendment rights. If you would like to become a member, you can go over to their website. It is G-O-A-Houston.com. That is goahhouston.com. It is a $25 annual membership, just $25 per year, which goes right back to campaigning for good candidates, lobbying for good bills, and suing, if need be, the federal government or the state government or the local government when they violate your rights. Again, that is G-Oahahuston.com. With that being said, when we get back from the break, we're going to jump over and talk about a good way to deal. We talked about the kind of the bad way here to deal with a lot of this Muslim influence. I also have a good way because Paxon is now kind of suing Tex AM as essentially illegally operating as an unlicensed university and using branding that created confusion with another university.

Up in

Paxton Sues Tex AM “University”

SPEAKER_09 38:58

North Texas, is now finally, I know we've talked about the story a few times, kind of investigations, uh cease and desists from Texas AM, among other universities, or among other, you know, different entities. But now there is a formal lawsuit from the state of Texas against Tex AM that it illegally offered unapproved degrees while misleading prospective students about its legitimacy and ties to Texas AM University. So this was filed yesterday in Collin County District Court. The lawsuit alleges that Texas American Muslim University, also referred to as Tex AM, along with administrators Shahid I. Literally their names. I'm not even exaggerating. That's just how you read it. Insane. The state is seeking temporary and permanent injunctions as well as more than one million dollars in civil penalties. Now, according to the petition, Tex AM operated as an unlicensed and unaccredited university, despite never receiving authorization from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to grant degrees in the state of Texas. Who also alleges the organization advertised bachelor's and master's degree programs, operated a student campus in Richardson, and solicited students online and overseas without the certificate of authority required under Texas law to actually offer those degrees. So they're gonna do all the school, they're gonna graduate, and at their graduation when they ask for their official diploma, they're gonna say, well, we can't actually give you that because we weren't actually allowed to do that. These classes were just kind of for you to learn stuff. Sorry. Hope you learned. And I get it. The main point of college used to be that you did learn, uh, but now the point is that you get a degree out of it so that you can go get a job. And if you're in a university that doesn't offer degrees, uh that certainly is a little deceitful. And so state attorneys further, on top of, of course, the whole we're offering degrees, but we're not allowed to, they further allege the entity adopted branding confusingly similar, intentionally, to Dex AM University and the Texas AM University system, creating, of course, a lot of confusion. What is Tex AM? Is this a new subset of Tex AM? Is this their new Muslim one? That they have ones for everybody, whatever. And so people wondered if they were affiliated. So Attorney General Kent Baxton came out in a statement. He said Tex AM has repeatedly disregarded Texas law, misrepresented its authority to grant degrees, and risked deceiving students about its legitimacy. My office will not allow illegal, unaccredited degree mills to operate in Texas. And so again, this is after you had multiple warnings. This is not just the first step, we immediately go sue them. There were multiple warnings that came out uh from the Texas AM university system, from state uh education officials on the board, right? Multiple letters sent out that said, Hey, you you gotta stop, and they didn't. And so according to the lawsuit, the organization began back three years ago as the Texas American Technology Foundation before rebranding to the Texas American Muslim Institute for Technology at Dallas. And so in September of last year, the entity filed an assumed name certificate to connect business as Texas American Muslim University at Dallas. The date says Tex AM later opened admissions programs in computer science, cybersecurity, health informatics, information technology, and STEM integrated Islamic Studies. Tex AM, of course, also promoted itself online as the first university in the U.S. to offer STEM degree programs embedded with mandatory courses in Islamic studies. The petition further alleges the organization marketed discounted tuition for overseas students and advertised that students could earn a U.S. degree from the comfort of your home. And so, of course, tax the game is saying, well, we didn't violate any laws as they have to until the moment that they settle or or you know lose their court case. We don't violate any laws. I know we offer we said we offered degrees, but those weren't like real degrees. We didn't say a bachelor's of science accredited. We just said we'll give you a degree for it. And a degree can be whatever we want it to be. I'll give you a degree that's just a little pink, you know, sheet of paper that says degree on it in in Times New Roman. Just degree. Boom. Well, that's where you get into the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and again, that's not even jumping into the branding of Tex A.M compared to Tex AM. So there's a lot of different, it's a multifaceted lawsuit. And I don't know who's gonna win. You never know who's gonna win in a lawsuit, and trying to make predictions on that is just like gambling on nonsense. But, but a lot of the things they're being accused of, a lot of the evidence is is fairly damning as far as I can tell. And it does not look good for Tex AM in terms of what they're accused of having done. But of course, as always, we will keep you guys up to date every time we get an update when the lawsuit kind of starts to move forward. Could be, you know, six months from now. You never know. Um, they could settle tomorrow. You never know. So we'll keep you updated on whatever comes out of the Muslim university's workings in the court system against our Texas attorney general. In the meantime, we gotta go to the break. And when we get back from the break, we'll jump into the weather report to wrap up the first hour of the show.

Houston Weather And Storm Timeline

SPEAKER_09 49:02

Now, an upper level storm system triggering a line of thunderstorms is expected to move across Texas later today, which could bring, of course, damaging winds, large hail in certain areas, especially north and west of Houston. So let's get a timeline of the actual arrival. So this morning, um the commute should remain at least mostly dry. You never know, you know, especially when you have the cloud cover, it could come out of nowhere. Um but in spite of the high humidity, we should stay dry. A few isolated showers could bubble up before midday, but again, most neighborhoods are gonna stay rain-free before noon. Now, by the afternoon, we're gonna have mostly cloudy skies, expected to start producing the first downpours of the day during the afternoon. Any storm that does develop could produce, you know, heavy rainfall in that local region wherever it does start. Now, storms are gonna remain isolated with areas near west of the Brassus River Valley, most likely to see rain. The greatest rest for storms arrives late today into tomorrow as a line of showers and thunderstorms pushes into southeast Texas from the northwest. Now, current forecast guidance suggests that storms could begin approaching Collins Station between 5 and 8 p.m. before advancing into the Houston metro area by midnight. Some storms could become strong to severe with damaging winds, uh gusts, hail, torrential rainfall will also be possible in the heaviest downpours, especially if storms repeatedly move over the same locations overnight. Now, more rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected through at least Friday as a frontal boundary stalls near the region and multiple atmospheric disturbances move overhead. The exact placement of that boundary is going to determine where the heaviest rainfall develops. Air moisture levels are going to remain unusually high, which will increase the potential for those really bad downpours, capable of producing rainfall rates of three to four inches per hour in the strongest storms. Because repeated rounds of rain could saturate soils early in the week, flooding concerns could increase later in the week, of course, as less runoff becomes absorbed by the ground, which means localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas. And so the flood forecasters currently have places under level one out of four risk. Um, and they've upgraded parts of the Brazos Valley to a level two risk. Rainfall totals between Tuesday and Friday are such an average two to four inches, with isolated totals of four to six inches possible, especially north of I-10. The unsettled pattern is going to continue into the weekend, which means we could have more heavy rainfall going forward after that, though we just don't know yet. Either way, that will do it for the weather report this morning. Thanks everyone for checking it out. We'll be back, of course, Lord willing, at the top of the next hour. And when we get back, we have a lot more news to jump into, kicking it off uh with this investigation from Paxton into the Southern Poverty Law Center. If you'd like to text in, the number is 713-779-5978. I'm your host, Michael Wilson. You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative, and Lord Willing, I'll return at the top of the next hour. Hang tight.

SPEAKER_05 52:15

SPEAKER_09 52:43

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and you're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. And it's good to be with you this morning. Again, my voice, I think, actually did get a little better from the start of the last hour. I'm gonna be honest, maybe I'm wrong. You can tell me if I'm wrong. You can text in, let me know. No, Michael, your voice still sounds awful. Uh it does. It does still sound not quite back to normal. But of course, between the cough drops and the water and this carbonated beverage, I should be, my voice should be a little bit better than it was at the first started first hour, at least. I again, it's not back to full, you know, glory, but my voice was was doing much worse. If you missed out on the first hour, I was I I think I legitimately kind of sounded like RFK Jr. a little bit. It was certainly a wild ride, but I told you guys it might get better. And turns out I I was kind of actually joking. I expected it to get I thought it was gonna get progressively worse. That's usually how you know dead voices kind of work, is it just kind of ends up finally in a raspy whisper by the end. Uh instead, it looks like we got some of it back. So I'll take it. I'll take the win.

Paxton Investigates The SPLC

SPEAKER_09 53:53

Now, kicking it off in this first segment of the second hour, I teased it before we went to the break, uh, but our attorney general is now investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center, the SPLC, over the alleged funding of extremist groups. You guys might have heard of this uh when it originally kicked off a couple weeks ago. Now the Texas Attorney General is getting involved. Apparently, the Southern Poverty Law Center uh is facing massive back massive accusations and allegations that they funded violent extremist groups that publicly, out in the open, they claim to oppose. Right? They say, hey, we're very anti those people, those people that are radical, right-wing extremists, and then behind closed doors, they funnel a lot of money to these groups. Because these groups, of course, keep the SPLC in business. They would have no one to stand up against if you weren't funding a lot of these groups. And so you guys might remember again, this happened, I think it was it was a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago, uh, that the that you had a federal prosecutor indictment on the Southern Poverty Law Center, um, which is back when they were originally accused of raising millions of dollars from donors and then directing those to other again extremist groups. I think the KKK was on the list, the Ku Klux Klan, which I didn't know, still still had a solid membership base, uh, but apparently they're still around and they're receiving a lot of money from the Southern Poverty Law Center. And so again, the SPLC, their whole business plan, their whole, at least I guess they had a secret business plan that none of us knew about. Their actual business plan is different. But I'm referring to what public, what the public seats, the public-facing website, what they claim to be. And they've long claimed to be this sort of watchdog, anti um, you know, extremist group that exposes these hate groups and advocates, you know, in lobbying campaigns and all the rest against discrimination and extremism. And so, again, they have influenced public discourse, policy making, corporate decisions. They were big during the Black Lives Matter movement, during the whole thing that went down in Charlottesville, right? All of this sort of stuff the SPLC has played a part in. However, according to the Justice Department, the Department of Justice, the organization allegedly diverted more than three million dollars to individuals with known ties to extremist groups. Prosecutors claim that the SPLC misled donors by failing to disclose that their contributions could be used in ways that financially benefited the same organizations. And could you imagine? This would be like this would be like giving money to your church in the offering plate. You give money to your church, and then you find out they use that money to to uh go help build a mosque. That would that would kind of be the delineation here. You put money in the offering plate for your church, you find out, oh, man, we really gotta buy some more grenade launchers for the A-Rabs, right? That's that's kind of equivalent to what happened here. You're giving to this anti-racist Southern Law Center and they give their money to the KKK. I mean, it's just I i the the jokes write themselves. I don't even need to joke about it because the whole thing's a joke. You're you're like black lives matter, and you hand your money, and they're like, no, actually white lives matter, and they just pass it over to the KKK. Unbelievable, by the way. And again, I actually do get the strategic point because the SPLC, its existence is predicated on there being extremist groups. They would cease to have donors, have influence, or anything else if the extremist groups uh uh not only didn't exist, but if they weren't at least making headlines, if they weren't at least out and about, if they weren't known, right? And so, of course, part of their strategy unfortunately demands that these extremist groups are prominent, at least to a degree. In order for the SPLC to have any relevance and influence, they have to be fighting someone that everyone knows is out there, someone that's scary, someone that's bad. And so if if those things are gone, it kind of reminds you of Syndrome. Do you guys remember uh did you guys ever watch The Incredibles? I watched it as a kid, obviously, but you might have watched it with your kids or your grandkids. Um the the Incredibles, they're the the antagonist really of the movie is kind of a two, it's a multifaceted antagonist, but it's syndrome. This kid who grows up wants to be a hero, and he wasn't born with powers like some people, and so he has to build himself a suit that can fly, and he designs this this basically robot. I know this is getting really uh convoluted, but it's important. He builds this robot and it's designed in such a way that uh when it defeats all these other heroes, he's able to show up and save the day because he actually controls the robot, right? He can look like he's fighting it, but he's just clicking buttons to make it lose its arms and and everything else. Of course, everything goes wildly wrong. He gets knocked out, and the incredibles, the the actual superheroes, have to save the day. Of course. Uh but my point was to bring up Syndrome. Syndrome wasn't really a superhero at all. And any superhero acclaim he got for a short time only came because of the robot that, as it turns out, he built so that he could look good taking down the robot. That has to remind you a little bit of the Southern Poverty Law Center today. And I'm sure there have been times where we've had extremist groups, and I'm not saying that uh all of the right-wing extremist groups, by the way, are leftist funded and are incapable of operating on their own. I actually think it's good. I I actually think that it is positive that you do have some. They they call them extremist groups. But if you read some of the tenets of some of these groups, they're not even extremist. And I'm not talking about the KKK and stuff. But you look at some of these groups that they would qualify as extremist militias, and it's hard to even find their websites, by the way, because because they're considered white supremacist or extremist, that Google doesn't even want you to find their website. Obviously, that's not surprising, but it is. It is what it is. But once you find the website and you actually read through their tenets, their beliefs, you know, those sorts of things, their mission statements, you find maybe we disagree a little, but this isn't I don't consider this radical. These are mostly my beliefs. I was looking, I I remember it was a while back, I was looking at an organization that has been touted as one of the most v virulent, racist, uh, you know, hateful organizations ever. And I don't know, I'm not gonna name names, but I was reading through the tennis and I was I was thinking to myself, this is just historically accurate. This isn't even that they're saying things about how much they hate people. This is just their beliefs. And their beliefs are literally just true beliefs about history. Who founded this country? What really is a Native American, not native to the land, native to America. America didn't exist prior to, you know, the colonies as a nation, prior to the ratification of the Constitution. And so you know, it's all these sorts of things that we're told, oh, oh, these faces are evil, whatever. But you find out the ones that are actually doing a lot of these quote unquote crimes, well, they're being paid by the very people that then profit off of exposing, I mean, it's it is literally a a vicious circle that they're self-creating problems so that there are problems to solve. And of course, you'd expect that, right? I mean, it's got to remind you of any sort of really nefarious cartoonish business plan. Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna pour a million gallons of water on the city, and then I'm gonna sell towels, right? It's literally that's this is a non-cartoon version of exactly that. That's what's happening here. And so, of course, uh the A the SPLC has said, well, the payments were just supposed to, we're we were using it to gain insider access, to gather information and and you know have that inside view into the organization. But of course, investigators have suggested at least some of the funds, of course, were then used to facilitate the activity. So you could say, yeah, we but we needed insider you know intelligence. Okay, but you're now supporting the cause. And you're you're drawing a very a very thin line on where you justify we know more things, but we also literally helped pay to facilitate more, you know, these actions. I it gets messy. And so Attorney General Ken Baxter said his office is now working to determine whether the organization violated Texas law through deceptive fundraising practices. He said, quote, the radical woke SPLC was funding the very groups that it was claiming to oppose. My office will ensure that the organization is held accountable for its blatant deception. Donors of the SPLC deserve to know if they have been manipulated in supporting a nonprofit that gives millions of dollars to the KKK and other groups that they thought they were opposing. As part of that probe, the Office of the Attorney General has issued a civil investigative demand, a legal tool they thought they were opposing. And so um apparently they're also going to obtain documents and information that's relevant to potential violations of state law, and it's gonna focus particularly on whether they engaged in deceptive donor solicitation, misrepresentation, or other unlawful conduct tied to fundraising and financial practices, hence the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. And so, of course, the SPLC has not put out any sort of statements responding to Paxton's investigations and the outcome of both the federal case and the state case may determine, you know, what financial penalties, what further legal consequences there will be, and so on and so forth in in regards to all of that. But I'm really glad to see that Texas is also getting involved. It's really fun. I know a lot of people are saying, oh, he's just trying to jump on the bandwagon. We already have the federal government involved, and he's just trying to be a part of that and look good. Okay, whatever. But also, you're trying to tell me that it's not good for the state that we also did. We not learn our lesson with the whole immigration debacle. We said the federal government will handle illegal immigration, we don't have to deal with anything, and then it turns out that we suffer because we didn't do anything as a state, that we need to have the right and the ability to stand up for ourselves. I think it's the same thing here. What if the federal what if the federal case they they settle and no one finds anything out? Well, that wouldn't be cool. Texas wouldn't get any of that. Well, that's not fair to the people of Texas that have been potentially manipulated and lied to. Which by the way, I still think is is incredibly funny because the reality is, I just go back. Imagine. Imagine that that you want to give to any organization at all, and they take the money you gave, millions of dollars, and they funnel it into organizations that you directly oppose. In fact, the reason you gave was to oppose them. It's not even even the the example of giving rocket launchers to Muslims from church tithes isn't really as bad because you aren't giving to tithes to oppose Islamic right anything. You're you're giving to church to support the church. But if you're giving to an organization that's dedicated to opposing something, and then they funnel that mo that that money into this sort of, shall we say, directly opposed ideological framework. You have to wonder. You have to wonder is this really because you wanted insider access? Or was this just a joke the whole time? The SPLC has always been around in reality to be a secret funder of right wing organizations. I don't know the answer to that. Um, but I have more that I want to say on this, and we're coming up on the break. So when we get Back we'll kind of talk about this sort of propaganda. How it seems like this is not a a one-time issue, by the way, where you're kind of lost on who's doing what, who's spending what, where money's coming from, where it's going, you know, are we really are we really being, you know, told the truth to about these organizations, about what they do, about what they've done in the past is history. All these sorts of questions. We'll talk about it when we get back. Text in 713-779-5978. That's 713-779-KYST. I'm your host, Michael Wilson. You are listening to the Lone Star Conservative, and I'll be right back. Talk all about propaganda when we get back. So hang tight, and we'll talk soon.

The Medicare Minute with Justin White is brought to you by Senior Health Services.

SPEAKER_21 1:08:06

If you are of Medicare age 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 from other countries that you don't know who they are, where they are, or what in the world they're doing.

Medicare choices are easier with a professional in your corner. Senior Health Services is not associated with the government, so you know you can trust them. Visit Senior Health Services.com today to connect with a trusted agent for a free consultation.

Propaganda And The Stories We’re Sold

SPEAKER_09 1:10:59

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and you're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. You know what this whole Southern Poverty Law Center debacle really reminds me of? You know what it kind of really how often Americans get the polished version of history instead of the real version. And they do that, by the way, intentionally, in the goal of convincing you of really altering your entire perception of who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, who are the heroes, who are the villains. And they do that, they they very carefully curate the stories in these simplistic ways with the very clear intent to decide for you who the good guy in the story is. And I'm not saying that that means that you have to disagree automatically. I'm not trying to be conspiratorial in the sense that you know you have to assume that if they propagandized you with someone, well, that that must be the bad guy. Well, not necessarily. But it does mean that things are not as cut and dry as they made them seem. Um take Rosa Parks, for instance. If you guys have seen this come out of Matt Walsh, but I've been saying this for a long time. Rosa Parks, we're taught most most Americans. There's some schools that teach it differently. If you were homeschooled, maybe you learn differently. Most Americans are taught this version where a random woman who is very tired, uh, seamstress, her feet hurt, she was sitting down on the bus, and she refused one day to move and accidentally changed the country. Right? That's kind of and and that's that's realistically the story they tell a lot of kids, right? This woman, this black woman, she was tired, she wanted to sit down, she was exhausted, she sits down, and that's the white-only area. So they kick her out, they kick her to the back, get to the back of the bus, and she says no. And she stands up, right? Well, that's that's the story, but that's not really what happened. Uh Rosa Parks had been involved in the NAACP for years. Uh she was she was a civil rights organizer. Um, and and so the the people in charge have been looking for the right test case for a while to challenge the the the bus laws. And so the movement they they they found particularly like the all the details are are incredibly you know specific. They picked the the the most uh you know anti-black bus driver they could possibly find, the one that would be most likely to try to force her to the back. Uh they picked this particular neighborhood they knew was known for s you know more aggressive segregation, where we would be more uncomfortable with her sitting where she was. Um they picked her because they thought that she looked like a tired seamstress, right? And so they they set all of this up so that they could get this legal test case and propagandize this country. Now, again, this is kind of my point. I'm not saying that we should have had that we should have bus segregation, right? That's not the point of bringing this up. It's not to say that you automatically have to flip and say, well, then I guess they were the bad guys and we should go back. That's not that's not the claim I'm making. What I am making is that you have to take everything everything captive. You have to think because this was all just a a brazen facade. It was a mirage. There was no tired seamstress who accidentally sat down. This was all very carefully curated in an attempt to change the law. And that's fine to do. But we have to admit that's what's going on. And we have to understand that's still going on today. And sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's bad. Sometimes it produces good results, and sometimes it produces bad results. But you have to be aware of it in order to find out what results it's producing. Right? It kind of reminds you You know, a lot of these things have been a long time coming. Uh one of those things that you don't really think about a lot of the time is the Civil War. And I've talked about this a little bit before. You guys know. We live in the South, okay? I'm allowed to be uh a Confederate. I I am allowed to think the Confederate was the m the morally superior group. That doesn't make me a bigot or a racist or a supporter of slavery. I know that's what the left and most of the right wants you to think. It's not true. But we're not gonna get into that today. Suffice it to say, the Confederacy was not all that it's been presented to be. Nevertheless, what I want to highlight what the reason I bring up the Civil War is to say, yet again, you see the story of propaganda. One of the things we had to do in order to be accepted slash forced back into the Union as the South, uh, was that we had to ratify the 14th Amendment. Well, what did that ultimately do? Well, you guys might not remember this, but Obergafell, which was the gay marriage decision, was rooted in arguments pertaining to the Fourteenth Amendment. So when they stripped states of their rights and they forced us to ratify civil rights law, they just so happened to also force us to one day approve homosexual marriage. Wouldn't you see that? No one could have seen that coming. And yet this has been carefully curated, and that's not to be a conspiracy theorist, somebody that's talking about the globalists and they're playing this out for 200 years. I'm not saying any of that. What I am saying is you have to pay attention because the media does this all the time. Activist groups do it all the time. The government does it all the time. Even corporations do it constantly. I mean, it's not just the government, it's the corporations too. I mean, look at Vietnam. I mean, for years Americans were told one thing publicly, while Pentagon officials privately knew that the war was not going so hot. Right? Pentagon papers come out and suddenly everybody says, oh, maybe we weren't getting the full story. Uh the Gulf of Tonkin incident right there. Uh, that was sold to the American people as this clear-cut justification for escalation. And decades later, even mainstream historians admit they come out and they've been like, okay, maybe the public narrative was a little incomplete, to put it, to put it nicely. Uh, how about the Remember the Maine situation back in the Spanish American War? Massive emotional media campaign. Push the country toward war, and later historians are still debating, well, what actually happened there? I think we might have been lied to a bit. And so this is not new, right? This is not this is not something that happened um, you know, with with this this particular SPLC debacle where one thing's going on behind the scenes and they're kind of rewriting history. This is not a recent development, right? This goes, this stretches back millennia. You think the government has just recently started lying to its people? No, we may have had a a phase where the government was a little more upfront. Uh but you can look back to to quotes from Roman emperors who said sometimes people need to be, you know, given a little bread and circuses if we want to keep them in line. Right? They knew this has been going on for a very long time. And so I think that's why stories like this one that we're covering here, in regards to the Southern Poverty Law Center kind of funding their own, you know, detractors. This is why people are really upset about it. Because the SPLC spent years positioning itself as this objective, it's sort of moral referee that gets to decide what's good, what's bad. And that doesn't even get into whether or not US actually agree with the SPLC. Uh I frequently, I do not. But that's not even really the point here. This this is one of those, you know, I don't often like to use the word bipartisan because I think that's a weaponized term designed to pass Democrat things. But as far as bipartisan goes, this should be a bipartisan problem. We should all be upset that this nonprofit, massive nonprofit, is funneling millions of dollars back to groups they claim to oppose. That should be an issue, regardless of where you fall on the political aisle. And so they were represented as the people, they had a lot of moral authority in the country, even though they were just a nonprofit that's not technically related or facilitated by the government, they were kind of given the ability to designate who was considered an extremist. If they called you an extremist, you were one, and there was really nothing you could do about it. And so that's a lot of power, a lot of influence for any single group to hold. And whenever somebody gains power by presenting themselves as morally unquestionable, then people are going to start asking some uncomfortable questions. Especially when there's money and power involved in a single spot. Because that's another thing that Americans are often and this is this is not necessarily bad. I think it's actually it shows our, you know, morality that we're often naive about incentives. Because if your organization raises millions of dollars warning people about extremism every year, then whether consciously or subconsciously, your survival as an institution depends on the idea that extremism is everywhere and is potentially even getting worse. That's how if you want to grow, right? You're a you're a company, nonprofit or not, and it it your company relies on there being political extremism, then if you want your company to make more money next year, hypothetically there would have to be more extremism next year. And so, whether or not you admit it, there's now an incentive in that structure for you to desire extremism to get worse in order for you to get more power, influence, and money. That's that's built into your project. And so at the end of the day, whether or not you did that doesn't change the fact that there's now a lot of concern because that obviously is something that would make sense for you to do institutionally. And again, that doesn't mean that every extremist group is fake. I'm not I'm I I'm not saying that, obviously not, but it does mean that Americans should stop assuming that everything the left calls extremist is extremist, that we should stop hating people just because they're in a quote unquote extremist group, um, that we should stop assuming that every organization wearing the costume of moral authority is automatically honest, and that we stop drawing a lot of these lines and be a little bit of a uh healthy skeptics, I'll say. Be a little bit more skeptical. Not and and sometimes say, you know, are these organizations the the the the SPLC who's been secretly finding things, are these organizations actually so extreme? Are these organizations actually as bad as we've been told? And I think it's a fair question to ask, and I think it's one that people are consistently asking more and more. Well, well, when we get back from the break, we're gonna we're gonna jump over and uh we're gonna talk about some Houston area voters reporting election fatigue, uh driving this back into early voting, which by the way, we did get a text about, right? I did just so happen the story was next up on the agenda, but the text says PSA, early voting. Please remind everyone to vote, which we will be doing in the next segment. We'll go over uh early voting. And some of the people who are voting are saying, hey, you know, I'm getting I'm kind of getting tired of showing up every weekend uh to the polls. We'll talk about all that when we get back. If you would like to text into the show, the number is 713-779-5978. That's 713-779-KYST. You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative. I'm your host, Michael Wilson, and Lord willing, I'll be right back after this short break. So hang tight, and we'll talk soon.

Election Fatigue And Early Voting

SPEAKER_09 1:27:05

You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative, and we're going to kick it off talking about voter fatigue, people, you know, frustrations with the amount of elections, and of course, what you need to know about getting out there and voting. Because of course, if you're listening to this show and you don't vote, I I'm going to take that as a personal insult that I've not done my job well. If I have not highlighted through all of these stories, because the point of all of this is not just to, you know, talk about the news. That of course I'm doing that. That's the technical act I'm doing is that I'm, you know, producing commentary on the news, giving you political analysis on what's going on in our city and our state, obviously. But but to be totally up front, that's that's a secondary thing. That may be the thing I'm doing. But the main overarching goal is that it produces people who get involved. That's the whole point of what I do. Is that all the people who listen to the show are reminded every day, mind you. Hey, things are bad. I need to do something about it. Perhaps I should show up and do the bare minimum, right? Which of course is voting. I'm not even asking for door knockers and all this. We'll get into that sometime. But what I'm what I'm saying is all of this that we talk about, all of the things where I say, we need to stop this, we need to end this. This is the time during elections, is when we have the most authority available to us. And so of course, early voting, I think kicked off yesterday, runs through the 22nd. Election day is, of course, May 26th. That is if you if you miss early voting, the early voting window, May 26th. I think the poll hours are going to be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as is typical across basically the state. And so this is where things are going to get a little messy. Also, you might have noticed a lot of the I don't want to say hatefulness, but a lot of the vitriol that goes on in the Republican Party during runoff season. You have people that usually you'd say, I like both those guys, all right, who are both just going after each other with some of the worst insults possible about how the other one is a backstabbing rhino and like just going going to town on each other. Of course, the biggest race on the ballot that I think everyone's mostly paying attention to is the Senate race between Ken Faxton and John Cornyn. That is on the agenda, by the way. That's that's that is that is what we're voting for right now. If you've been wondering, hey, when are we voting for our Senate? That's that's now. Literally, you could go vote today for it. Uh so do be aware of that. Of course, you also have Harris County Judge runoffs, Harris County District Clerk, Railroad Commissioner, which, by the way, I'm uh we don't we don't endorse on this on this show or at this station. But again, do your research. You got Jem Wright, you got Bo French. Uh Bo French has been incredibly outspoken about immigration and all the issues with not prioritizing Americans first, a lot of good stuff. But but you know, do the research on those races. Um we also have the Attorney General runoff, you know, Chip Roy and Maze Middleton. So again, do the research.

unknown 1:30:11

Right?

SPEAKER_09 1:30:11

We we talked, we've talked about both these guys. We've talked about, you know, how some of them have done some rhino things, how some have done some more conservative things, some have ties to Colony Ridge, some have ties to that neither one's perfect. Neither one's gonna be. If you sit down and you said, Oh, I found out that Maze Middleton did this, or oh, I found out that Chip Roy did this. Both of them have done things that I would say are not good decisions, right? Okay. But look into policy proposals, look into recent votes, look into what they believe, and make an informed decision. But make sure you do the research before you show up, don't show up and then sit at the box and say, oh, you know, I don't I didn't look into I don't even know who these guys are. Right? That happens to a lot of people in a lot of elections. I don't actually know who this person is, but I just I just vote for them because their name comes first. And so uh do be aware of all the different runoffs for your particular area, because obviously um if you're down south, like Parland Manville, you know, it it'll be it'll be slightly different. You might have different runoffs, you may not, but in your particular area, it might look a little different just in terms of what qualified for runoff elections, whether you're in Fort Bend County, Galvison County, Montgomery County, Braz, you know, wherever you are, do the research. Be aware of what specific elections you have. We're all going to share, you know, Senate, Attorney General, Railroad Commissioner, those sorts of things. But you'll have some of your own races that are specifically for you that we won't be able to cover on this show. So do be aware of them and make sure you get out and vote. Again, all of the stuff that we cover on this show, all of it, from the statewide news to the local news to local government, to the conversations with Texas Scorecard, Charles Blaine, literally everything we do is with the intent to change the way that things are operating. With an intent to change Houston, by extension, change Texas, by extension, change the country, and by extension change the world. I know that sounds like a really big task, but it's actually manageable if we manage to, you know, dive deep into the issues that are affecting our area. If we can change, you know, this spot and then the spot next to it, and then the spot next to it, before you know it, we can actually change a significant amount in our lifetimes. We can bare minimum set the foundations that future generations will need to fix those problems. That's that is the reality is that we can do more than we tend to give ourselves credit for. And to a large degree, a lot of that means simply showing up. It means at the bare minimum, hey, we're in election season. Go select the conservative options, right? You look at the Senate race, we have an option that's a little less conservative, and an option that's a little more conservative. And again, we don't endorse, but but you know. You know who's done what, who you probably support in that election, and go vote for them. That's that's important. And so again, I want to tie that in because you have some Houston area voters who are reporting kind of some fatigue with these elections. And so since I think last November, if you just look since November, so that's December, January, February, March, April, May. So about six about six months, voters have navigated a steady stream of election cycles, including the general election, the March primaries, the special elections, city council races, and now another primary runoff. Again, numerous elections. Depending on where they live, some voters may have cast ballots in as many as six different elections in just the last few months. Christopher Young was casting his ballot during early voting this week. He said, it is literally we have an election every two weeks. And political experts are coming out and they're saying, I hate when they say they use the word experts. What is a what the heck is a political expert? Does anyone know a political I'm a political expert. Okay? Get it straight, buddy. I don't know, I don't know what that even means. But political experts are saying it is not just the ex elections themselves creating exhaustion, it's also the nonstop campaign messaging in between. You're getting commercials while you're watching cable, while you're watching Hulu, while you're while you're shopping, it comes over to the loudspeaker with an ad for some campaign. It's on your, you know, it's on your TV. It's on your phone, it's before your YouTube videos. It's literally everywhere you turn. There's election messaging. And so Rice University political expert Mark Jones said for area residents who think they've been in constant campaign mode, they're right. He said the combination of runoff elections, special elections, and one of the state's most expensive USN at primary races has created the feeling of nonstop political activity. He said there's a reason for campaigns to be running TV ads, running digital ads, having billboards up since back in November and October. From campaign text messages to YouTube ads, roadside signs. Um, you know, you have another voter, her name's Bea Thard, who said, everyone gets tired of all the commercials. It says, I am wonderful, but my opponent is terrible, and it gets rather annoying. And so he said, people have become numb to the idea of elections, since there seems to be an election almost every other week. And so that's why also be aware. You look at uh April's special election for Houston County's count city council district C. That's Houston City Council District C in April. According to Harris County election administration, less than six percent of eligible voters participated in that election. Less than six percent. The May election, special election for incident, drew even lower turnout than six percent. So it's not just a lack of trust, a lack of insurance, uh, of of of of interest, it's consistent bickering, and people are tired. Which means two things. One, politics is a messy, exhausting game. It I mean, it really is. There's just nothing to be done about it. That's it is what it is. It is messy, very messy, and exhausting. But the other thing that you need to keep in mind is we are tougher than them. So when they're exhausted and it's drawing less than 6% of turnout, we show up in big numbers and we can win. All it takes. I know I see all these political commentary guys all the time. They say, oh, we gotta change the world. Oh, we gotta, we gotta do better, uh, we gotta hold our election officials accountable. Oh, can you believe they haven't released the Epstein? It's all this constant complaining about what's not getting done. And then I ask, how many people did you convince to go vote? Less than six percent showed up to this election that would have made massive difference for our city. Who showed up to that? That's what's important. We must show up to vote. And, you know, with that, we should also demand that we have some more uniform elections so that we don't get exhausted showing up to vote every other week. With that being said, when we get back from the break to wrap up, just to kind of highlight why it's important that you be careful who you vote for in the runoff. We have a uh Texas congressional candidate who lost his primary, by the way, who's now been arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife. We'll talk about it when we get back from the break. As always, this is your last chance to text in during the morning show. The number is 713-779-5978. That is 713-779-KYST. You're listening to the Lone Star Conservative.

I'm hoping my voice makes it to the end of the program, Mr. RFK Jr. over here. I'm really hoping I need to get some like lubricant for my throat or something when I have when I have bad when I have bad throat days for the show. I always say, I don't actually mind being sick that much. I know a lot of people I don't actually care. You don't feel good and it's not fun, uh, but it's it's a lot of people seems to bother a lot more. My main concern with getting sick nowadays is I like to talk. Even when I'm not on the show, I like to talk. And when my voice starts to go and he gets all raspy and it's hard to talk, that I I hate more than just being sick. If the sick had all the other symptoms and then no throat issues, I would be I'd be I that'd be fine with me. I I mean I wouldn't want to be sick, but it would not be nearly as inconvenient.

Candidate Arrest Highlights Leader Standards

SPEAKER_09 1:43:05

Nevertheless, the importance of picking good leaders when you vote, the importance of picking the right one, a former Texas Congress congressional candidate has now been arrested with charges related to an alleged domestic violence situation. Brett Jensen, who ran for Texas' eighth congressional district, was arrested Sunday night and charged with assault family violence involving impeding breathing, according to Harris County Court records. According to law enforcement sources, deputies with the Harris County Precinct Four Constable's office were called to Houston Methodist Hospital. At the hospital, Jensen's wife allegedly told investigators that he had slapped and strangled her. She said it was not the first time this had happened. A law enforcement source told Jensen, uh, said that Jensen told hospital staff that his wife was injured after she became intoxicated at a party and fell over. Sounds like, you know, Daniel LaRusso, oh Mom, I just fell off my bike, kind of thing. And so his at his attorney said he's 100% not guilty. 100% innocent. 100%. It's crazy. Not even a little bit. He didn't do anything bad. Uh and so he's about he was supposed to appear in probable cause court. And so we'll find out. Of course, there are false allegations all the time. So I'm not saying he's guilty, but I am saying that a lot of this stuff does happen. And it comes from people who are supposed to be the most respected among us, who should be held to a higher standard. And that showcases the importance of picking good, moral Christian leaders. Either way, that'll do it for the show today. Thanks everyone who texted in. Thanks for reminding me to talk about early voting. Make sure you get out and vote this week and not May 26th, but don't save it for then. Make sure you get out and vote. You've been listening to Lone Star Conservative. I'm your host, Michael Wilson.
