(00:00):
Government shucks it, dont stuff.You're listening to the pursuit of happiness radio.
Good for you. The government area bunch of clowns. The pursuit
of happiness radio. Guns don't killpeople. The government does the pursuit of
happiness radio. Government to the pursuitof happiness radio. It's the government,
(00:20):
all right. People don't work therebecause they're geniuses. The pursuit of happiness
radio. We have less brains inWashington right now than we've ever had since
we're in a nation. We havea word. We have a word for
(00:44):
Texas Republicans who still support House SpeakerDave Fhalen and Congressional Representative Tony Gonzalez.
That word is Democrat. We'll betalking about that later on the show today
with Matt Ronaldi, the outgoing chairmanof the Republican Party. Man has done
an amazing job. He'll be herea little bit later, just stick around
for that. Also stopped by theshow today, my good buddy Brandon Darby,
(01:08):
still recovering from what was it thathappened to him, be spraining his
knee or something. Is a poorguy injured himself, but a little more
interesting than his mundane in injury thatI'm sure he'll get over. He's one
hundred and seventy dead bodies found inanother cartel mass grave not far away from
the border. We'll get to allof that very soon, but we begin
(01:30):
with this today. J'ell. Rememberover the last four years, in between
now and January sixth, there havebeen multiple incidents, I mean many incidents
of liberals protesting in the nation's capital. Nobody got arrested, or if they
did get arrested, they didn't endup doing jail time for it. There
have been incidents with people protesting instate capitals around the country. Again,
(01:56):
any punishment for that little to none. Do you remember the protest at the
Tennessee State capital from far left lawmakers, so some of them were actually voted
out of office and then brought backinto office. You remember that none of
them did any jail time. I'msure you see where I'm going with this.
If you haven't already heard the news, The Federalist has a report today
(02:16):
after being strung up on charges byJoe Biden's Department of Justice. A seventy
one year old great grandma. She'sa great grandma. She's not a mom,
she's not a grandma. She's agreat grandma. I mean, she
is a mom and a grandma,but she's a great grand's old lady.
It's gonna be thrown in jail,very likely thrown in jail because she walked
(02:36):
around the Capitol for a few minuteson January sixth, twenty twenty one.
Meet Rebecca Lovrenz, convicted on fourcounts just yesterday after three days of jury
deliberation for entering the Capitol on Januarysix This poor woman entered the building through
an open door two forty three pm, according to an official statement of facts,
(02:58):
walked in like a lot of people, those doors were wide open.
She felt that if those doors opened, that she was supposed to or at
least allowed to go through them.Exited the capital ten minutes later, having
briefly spoken to at least one Capitolpolice officer before leaving, walked inside,
(03:20):
spoke to a police officer. Left. Months later, two FBI agents showed
up at her home in Colorado.She told the agent she was in the
middle of baking a cake for herson because that's what great grandmas do,
and asked if they could return ata different time. Bless her heart,
The agent's returned a week later fora consensual interview, and then they investigated
(03:46):
her for months months. How muchmoney was wasted investigating this woman. They
reportedly told her she should be gratefulthe weaponized agency would only charge the self
described praying great grandmother with four misdemeanorcharges for entering a building that her tax
dollars pay for. By the way, imagine that this woman was charged with
(04:08):
entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct, disruptive conduct and a
restricted building, disorderly conduct in thecapitol, parading, demonstrating or picketing in
a capital Those are the charges.Doesn't that just sound like it's the same
thing over and over again. Well, according to the report, she could
face up to a year in prisonand be fined two hundred thousand dollars,
(04:30):
not including her legal fees. Evenif she doesn't get that much punishment.
Isn't it crazy like the process isthe punishment. What a waste of time?
She went to the capitol, Herand thousands of other people walked inside
because they thought they could. Someof them were invited inside by who by
agents of the government. Some ofthem were walked around the building and then
(04:55):
there's the story of Stuart Parks,who was sentenced to eight months in prison
after being convicted of the same chargesas this woman. This guy, actually,
he also got in trouble for pickingup a metal detector wand and walking
around with it for a period oftime. The Biden administration is clearly trying
to send a message that the socalled wrong kind of political protests will not
(05:18):
be tolerated, because you remember whathappened before this. Do you all remember
June first, twenty twenty. Yeah, we all talk about the Black Lives
Matter protests and how terrible they were. In twenty twenty, people died.
I mean, unlike January six wherenobody died, right, we were,
Okay, a couple of people died, a couple of Republicans that were protesting
died, But none of the copsthat they told you died because of January
(05:41):
sixth actually died because of January sixth. But there are dozens of examples of
people dying at Black Lives Matter riotsaround the country in the year twenty twenty.
But never forget January. Excuse me, June first, twenty twenty June
first, twenty twenty, thousands ofangry leftists surrounded the White House, lit
fires, toppled over things, knockedover, destroyed a statue. And these
(06:08):
people actually did damage, hurt alot of people, killed people. But
somehow that didn't matter. January sixthdid. The Left has tried to portray
January six as a violent insurrection,despite video footage and an almost unlimited amount
of witness testimony contradicting the narrative.We've got video footage from the Capitol.
(06:30):
On January six, Speaker Mike Johnsonreleased it. It was withheld by former
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and it showsdozens of peaceful demonstrators walking through the Capitol.
Officers escorting them through the building seeminglyunconcerned. The officers didn't seem to
care. Why should you, Well, I'll tell you why. Because now
it's an electioneer and they need tomake this count. They need you to
(06:54):
be punished, They need you tobe afraid to speak out, and sadly,
it seems to be working. Youlistening to the Suit of Happiness radio,
I guess it's not available in Canada. Cuck crying question for you,
(07:20):
conscious radio listener, somebody that paysattention, you're paying attention. I bet
if you're listening to this talk radiostation, you vote right. You don't
just vote once every four years inthe presidential election. That's like watching the
super Bowl. That doesn't matter.You actually vote. You vote for local
candidates, You vote in the mayoralrace, the county judge, you get
involved in you attend the state convention, and God bless you for doing it.
(07:44):
There's a lot of people listening tothis show, some people that listen
to the show that are more involvedpolitically than I am. And I'm grateful
for every one of you out there, just for tuning in and paying attention
to what's going on. But aquestion for you, and the question is
this, what is the point ofpower if you don't use it? Or
what is the point of power ifyou hand it over to your adversaries?
For many years now, the Republicanshave controlled the state of Texas past couple
(08:07):
decades at least, and for manyyears, what have they done with that
power? Well, we've given committeechair positions to Democrats. We've allowed state
agencies to perform like rogue agencies,pushing a liberal agenda in public schools and
other publicly funded institutions. Why whywould we do that over the past couple
(08:28):
of years, we've seen a changein tone. Some people open their eyes
when they saw what happened with theimpeachment of Ken Paxton. But as important
as that was, I feel likethere was another really defining moment for grassroots
conservatives to take over the party overthe last few years, and that was
when a good friend of this show, Texas Republican Party Chairman Matt Ronaldi,
took power. Matt has a figurativelyspeaking, dropped bombs and made some big
(08:54):
waves and good rightfully, so right. Matt and I might not agree on
every little political position, but onething we do agree on that the will
of the people, the grassroots conservativemajority, should be the agenda of the
Republican Party. Does anybody disagree withthat? That seems like an obvious one
for me. There's a little controversysince the Paxton impeachment was botched and for
(09:18):
some people forgotten about, especially withhow well the primaries went, you might
be led to believe that the oldschool establishment, the Rhino Republicans, the
Neocons, the Bush Republicans, they'regone now and they don't matter. Well,
you'd be wrong. As a matterof fact. Matt Ronaldi is now
stepping down as chairman of the RepublicanParty. I think he's done an amazing
job, and apparently he's got ambitionsto do some other stuff. I've got
(09:41):
him on hold right now, andI think people need to pay more attention
to the feud taking place right nowover who's going to replace him than some
people that bothered to do. Matt'son the line. Matt first of all,
thinks for some time this afternoon,a lot of people don't even know
who these people are that are tryingto replace you, and they should matters.
Can you explain why it matters?Because over the past three years in
(10:05):
my tenure, myself and the StateRepublican Party Executive Committee have made this race
matter. Traditionally, the State Partyhad acted like the RNC, where it
just remained neutral in any intra partymatters and just focused exclusively on Democrats in
November. We've focused on Democrats inNovember and done it well, winning elections
(10:28):
by larger margins than we have sincetwenty fourteen. But we've also used the
power that we had, which isbasically derived from the grassroots who do the
platform and the legislative priority. We'veused the power we had to weigh in
on matters like the Paxton impeachment andDaid Feeling and appointing Democrats to preside over
(10:48):
committees in the House. And we'vedone it successfully dated Feeling's in a runoff
now Paxton wasn't impeached. We've doneit very successfully, and we've spent money
during obsession doing it as well anddoing it effectively. So the race matters
now. And you see that withthe reaction of stakeholders to the chairman's race
(11:09):
a year ago, people like JustinHolland representatives for Rockwall, We're saying,
ah, nobody cares about the RepublicanParty. It doesn't matter. Now they're
very invested in who the next chairis going to be because we've given the
grassroots power that they've never had before. There's always lobbyists at the table.
It was always corporations at the table. But now they have a seat at
(11:30):
the table through the Republican Party,and the combined power of them through that
organization is very significant. All right, explain who the two candidates are that
are getting the most attention and who'sbacking them. First, we have Dana
Meyer, who is running on aplatform of she says for the Republican Party
(11:52):
to be less divisive. Whenever anyonesays less divisive, that's code word for
we don't like it when you saybad things about date ceiling. So it's
it's basically she wants to bring theparty back to doing what we did before,
which is effectively being a cheerleading societyfor elected officials and not being involved
(12:13):
in any of these very important interparty fights, intra party fights like the
paxcident Teacher. On the other side, you have Abraham George that wants to
continue what I've done with the partyin making it, you know, an
important an important power broker in Texaspolitics, giving the grassroots power and using
(12:33):
it to achieve those outcomes. SoI'm I'm enthusiastically supporting Abraham, who is
the former Collin County chair and didit to for he is a proven record
and I think you make a greatchair. All right, I can't help
but notice there are some people thatare trying to sling mud right now at
Abraham George. Some look people thata handful of people I might even consider
(12:54):
to be friends of this show.But more importantly than the show, there's
something deeper happy here. The peoplefunding the attacks on him are being powered.
I mean this, there's a veryspecific group of people that are empowering
these attacks on him. And alot of it does go back to the
old school Bush Republicans, doesn't it? Yeah? It does. And you
know what's very telling, what's verytelling to be is who's just at a
(13:16):
rate for state representative inner primary?We're over a million dollars I think around
a million dollars was spent against himand he wasn't attacked as hard as he
was what he announced that he wasrunning for GOP chair like a week later.
You could tell they you could tellwhat they really see is the threat.
(13:37):
Right, it's the Republican Party ofTexas chair, which is so important
while we why we keep it ingood hands. All right, I'm glad
you explained that. So if listenerswho are involved or just you know,
casually or really actively involved, wantto throw a little bit of support to
Abraham George and they're confused by theprocess, what can they do? Well,
they can or go on Twitter,subscribe to Abraham George dot com in
(14:03):
d m him see how they canhelp volunteer be a delegated convention I mean,
that's the most important thing. Theonly people will get to vote delegates
to the state convention. We justchose them at state Senate district conventions.
Hopefully they got they got on thelist, and if they do, just
come and vote for Abra. Ilove how you explained that Matt always puts
this stuff. Matt and I spokeprivately on the phone earlier this week and
(14:26):
we were talking about this, andI told them, look, i have
a handful of friends on both sides, and I'm not sure I want to
get too involved in this. AndMatt was, without you know, without
getting too deep into the details,just explaining it like he did with me.
Right now, it became pretty clearto me we all probably should get
more involved. Another thing I wantpeople to pay attention to this week is
the Texas Ethics Commission. There's aproposed rule right now that's been getting a
(14:48):
lot of attention from liberal journalists.Liberal journalists around the state at places like
The Houston Comical, the Dallas MorningSnooze, the Texas Tribune are applauding this
idea that people that write tweets shouldhave to label their tweets if they're sponsored
by a political entity, which isa very vague rule. Right. It's
(15:09):
like, okay, well, whatdoes that even mean? Right, Like
if somebody works with a special interestgroup, if somebody works with the political
group, if somebody works for theRepublican Party, if somebody works somebody's being
if they're journalism is being funded,that these tweets should all have to be
labeled as such. Strangely enough,there's one guy at the Texas Tribune and
(15:30):
used to work for the Houston Chronicle. He and I have argued with each
other publicly many times. His name'sRobert Downin, and Robert Downan, who
sits around all day long writing aboutpolitical issues involving Republicans and Christians, does
not think that his tweets, hiswork is political by any means at all.
But he's very upset that Matt Rinaldi'stweets aren't being labeled with government rules
(15:54):
and regulations because Matt Ronaldi works forthe Republican Party. Am I explaining this,
right, Matt? It's so ridiculous. It's almost as though he thinks
he should be exempt from the rulesbecause he's on the left and we shouldn't
because we're on the right. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what it
is. And the rule that you'retalking about is people would have to,
if they're compensated for tweeting or youknow, doing social media posts, need
(16:18):
to label their post as political advertising. Now, ironically, I would not
have to do that by any stretchof the imagination, because my position's volunteer.
I don't get paid for being sureof it. That's that's true.
That's true. Yeah, But RobertDowning gets paid for his position that he
tweets all day, and he tweetson political matters, you know, not
a journalist by any sense of theimagination. He's a political operative. You
(16:42):
can tell by his articles. Youcan also tell by his tweets. So
if he's comfortable with an imposing party'sattorney general currently being the top law enforcement
officer in the state of Texas,while he's getting paid to tweet during work
hours, imposing a rule that couldtarget him, Okay, so be it.
(17:03):
We'll play that game. And ifI'm not mistaken, the Texas Tribune
gets private funding, isn't it anonprofit? I mean, of course it's
political, right, they're getting thatmoney tax exempt. If I'm not mistaken
or I'm not quite sure how therules work for them, but they're getting
that money because they're pushing a politicalagenda and doing it under the umbrella of
being a nonprofit. Yeah, Imean they're getting I forgot exactly how much
(17:26):
it was, but yeah, sevenJohn Arnold gives seven million dollars to the
Texas Tribune so they can pay reporterswho can tweet about political matters, which
almost exclusively target conservatives. So yeah, that's very political and is exactly what
they're supposed to what they're purportedly railingagainst. But it's only bad when our
(17:48):
side does it, right, Okay. So they're talking about Influenceable, which
is a service that pays to getout news about particular things, like a
particular like fifty dollars a tweet.I don't even know what it is,
but you know, And then whenlike Sound of Freedom plays, they pay
a bunch of influencers a bunch ofmoney to talk about Sound of Freedom being
(18:10):
out. That's what they're talking about, right, It's totally bad when they
do it. Okay. It's theytheir money to a journalistic organ supposedly journalistic
organization that then pays their reporters totweet about local. Yeah, it's okay
when they do it. Here's whythe rule confuses me so much. You
know, I do this for aliving, Matt. I'm a syndicated morning
news host. I have this localshow in the afternoon where we talk about
(18:32):
Texas and Houston politics. And believeit or not, Matt, I don't
do this for free. But anotherthing I don't do is get told what
to say on the radio. Myprogram director, my station manager. They
don't care. I can be aliberal, a libertarian. I could be
a communist, a conservative. Icould be a Neocon. I could be
a neoliberal. I could be amoderate. I could be anything I want.
I can. I don't even haveto talk about politics. But I
do it for a living, andmy tweets are used to promote the show.
(18:56):
Clearly, what else would I I'mout on? You know, I
choose to do this content because I'minterested in it. So under these this
vague rule from the Texas Ethics Commissionthat's being proposed, is my content is
it paid political content? If they'renot telling me what to say? I
mean arguably, because if you're doingit on company time, that's the problem.
(19:19):
This is not only a vague rule. It's one that's completely unenforceable,
and you know, if it's enforcedthe way that people like these reporters want
it to be enforced, and onlybe enforced against, you know, the
little people, people who are notlike like you, people who are just
you know, tweeting every day andit might be on company times. So
(19:41):
it's it's a completely unworkable rule.I think it's blatantly unconstitutional. I don't
think there's any chance this thing getsupheld. But if it is going to
be applied, it should be appliedagainst those reporters. You know how I
know Matt is the best party chairmanwe've had in the Republican Party in years.
Listen to this headline from the SanAntonio Express News, Texas GEO PEA
chair Matt Rinaldi Comma, who helpedstoke party divisions. Comma will step down.
(20:07):
When I read that, I justthink, man, man, that's
the kind of guy I want.Matt. What's next for you? Well?
Now, just being a father anda husband and going back to my
family. I'm sure I will bevery involved in politics going forward. I
don't know how much. There's somuch work to do, and I want
to be a part of it atsome level. I'm just just you know,
(20:30):
excited to pass the baton and tosomebody who's very capable like Abraham and
and get to work. All Right, the conventions next week and next month
in May. Are you going tobe there. Yeah, I'm not seating
the gavel until after the election,so I'll start presiding over the convention this
temporary chair. And that's that's whatmy turn ents. That's what I assume.
(20:52):
But I just figured i'd let youexplain it. Matt Ronaldi. If
you're not following him on social media, keep up with the work he does.
I don't know where he's gonna endup, like you just explained,
But I have a funny feeling we'venot heard the end of Matt Naldi after
this year. Sure, it's whatit is. I'm star cousin right here
for Seeds. It's ha worked tohost the show with a couple of knucklehears
(21:14):
Ken Western Giah. Wait a second, what is that edgy music from the
eighties? That can only mean onething. Kenny's about to talk to that
guy from Breitbart sounds like from TexasJustice to me, Locket and now Live
(21:37):
from the Border it's Breitbart's Brandon Darbywith the Cartel Chronicles only on KPRC Radio.
All right, there's a feud betweenthe House and the Senate over the
impeachment at may Orcus. We'll getto that in a minute. Let's let's
start right now. Let's lead withthis top news story today at Breitbart Texas.
The Biden administration just lost a courtchallenge to hold migrant children in outdoor
(22:03):
camps. A US district court judgeruled in favor of several human rights groups
that filed a legal action against JoeBiden in March. The group's claim the
border Patrol was failing to properly carefor migrant children staged at makeshift outdoor camp
sites along the US Mexico border.This ruling this week from US District Judge
Dolly g will now force the Bidenadministration to quickly provide suitable shelter and amenities
(22:30):
for migrant children in accordance with aprevious court settlement. Here's what's so crazy
about this. If it wasn't forBreitbart dot Com, most people wouldn't even
know that this happened. For fouryears, all you heard about was how
terribly the migrants at the border werebeing treated by Donald Trump. But Brandon
Tarmey, this sounds worse than whatTrump did. Oh, that's yeah.
(22:52):
But that's that's the thing is thatit's very frustrating to me because when we
have a Democrat, it's like thecagees thing, the chain link partitions,
which are actually there in these facilitiesto protect children from unknown adults who may
be predators, right to protect womenfrom unknown adults. That's why they have
(23:15):
the chain link you know. Obamaput up the chain rink and then whenever
Trump became president, all of asudden, all of these pictures of these
chain link things, these Trump cageswent around and they were pictures from the
Obama administration, you know, Andthat's it just shows exactly what Andrew Breibard
always said exactly what many others nowsay. Mainstream media as a general rule,
(23:41):
legacy media is biased, is hellin favor of democrats. When democrats
are in office, they don't come, they're not at the border covering NonStop.
That you know is AOC on theborder, crying at the fence,
taking photo shoots like of her cryingbecause kids are being kept in bad conditions.
No they're not right. It's onlywhen a Republican's in there does media
(24:06):
care. Therefore, do do mostliberals care? Because that they're being manipulated
by the mainstream media? I donot just it. I don't know how
many people remember this, but waybefore most people knew who John Podesta was,
Andrew Breiitbart called him out. AndrewBreibart called out John Podesta for being
a creepy weirdo, and then theWiki leaks emails revealed that John Podesto is
(24:30):
involved in something called spirit cooking.I'll let the listeners look up that one
if they want. Then they realizedJohn Podesto was the strategic mind behind Hillary
and Obama and so many other nefariouspoliticians. Andrew Breipart was. That was
twenty eleven. He was way aheadof the gamut on that one. Now
today John Podesta was just named theBorders are He's going to replace John Kerrey.
(24:52):
If Andrew Breitbart was alive today,and I know he's had a huge
influence on my life, He's hadan even bigger influence on your life.
What do you do you think hewould say about what's currently happening. Well,
the thing about Andrew and you know, I really don't like to do.
You know this, People do thisall the time, and I usually
(25:12):
get pretty mad at him. Notwhat you're doing. I'm saying. What
people do all the time is they'llthey'll try to say, oh, Andrew
would have felt this way about thisguy, or Andrew would have Andrew would
have And so what I generally dois I look at I think of my
friend, and I think of thegeneral you know, the general spirit behind
(25:33):
what he felt. Right, SoI know that he just from his interviews
and talking to him, I knowthat he was extremely sympathetic to people who
wanted to come here. He wasextremely sympathetic to why they want to come
here. He was also very mucha law and order person and believe that
(25:57):
we had to do find a legalway for people to come here. And
he also believed that we had tomake sure we weren't hurting US citizens and
workers average workers by allowing too manypeople to come here. Right, So
I know that those were the generaltenants behind everything he felt. And every
(26:18):
time that he discussed immigration or bordermatters in public and speeches are on interviews,
and I know that that's the generalspirit behind what he talked with me
about right, So what would hethink, you know, Like, I
think he would would probably stay trueto his core tenants and he would probably
(26:41):
be like sympathetic. I get whetherthey want they come here. Can't let
everybody come here, you know whatI mean, can't have it this way,
can't have lawlessness, and which Ithink is you know, you got
to remember at the time that Istarted to work with Andrews shortly after,
you know, I began to reallypromote this idea that that an unsecured border
(27:03):
and to have an uncontrolled border wasunhumanitarian in every way, and to focus
on the plight of the people whocome here, right. And Andrew was
very supportive of me. So whatdo I think he would think of this
that, you know, I thinkthat probably answers the best I can without
you know, me saying yeah,yeah, anybody replocated. But those were
(27:30):
the general tenets of who he wasand what was behind any of his policy
views. Really in general, hewas a very sympathetic person to people and
try to understand where people were comingfrom and why they did what they did
or why they felt like what theyfelt like. But at the same time,
he held true to law and order, and you know, to making
(27:52):
sure that Americans were taken care of, the American workers were taken care of.
Well. Speaking of law and order, right now, there is a
move to oust Alejandro Mayorcis, theSecretary of Homeland Security, and there's this
feud between Speaker Mike Johnson of theHouse and the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
And obviously the Republicans of the Housewant the impeachment to happen. McConnell
(28:15):
says he's going to bury it now. The argument that the Republicans of the
House are making is this, andthis is something you've covered more than anyone.
There is a terror threat in Americaright now, and the what ifs
are are terrifying. You know,for lack of a better word, cliche
and pun intended. How many terroristsare in America is the question? Right
because we know that known terrorists havewalked over the border. And given that
(28:37):
it's an election year right now,you have some very vulnerable Senate Democrats John
Tester of Montana, Jackie Rosen ofNevada, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Scharad
Brown of Ohio, Bob Casey ofPennsylvania. Look, some of these are
swing states. Montana's a red state. These places have democrats in high ranking
(28:57):
positions who could stay intruants clearly don'twant terrorists in the country. Do you
think there's any there there? Doyou think anything will come of the fact
that we actually have that Democrats thatare up for reelection right now, who
are vulnerable to getting to getting removedfrom office might actually have to vote to
impeach may orcus or Do you thinkthis is all for nothing? Okay,
(29:18):
so you know, here's what Ithink. I think ultimately the responsibility for
what Biden's administration does is on Biden, right. I think it's on Biden's
I think doing things that run arisk of distracting from that. Saying oh,
we're going to impeach mayorcis for Biden'spolicies. I get it. I
(29:42):
see both sides of it. Onone hand, it makes sense it's a
big slam against Biden to hold himaccountable for what his administration has done on
the border. But on the otherhand, I buy the argument that it
takes the heat off Biden and itsays, oh, his guy who messed
up, his guy who did anddo it right, could be removed and
know now the problems solved, right, it gives the Biden administration a hell
(30:07):
of an out. And I don'tyou know, on that hand, I
don't like it. So I thinkthat there are legitimate arguments. You know,
again, I'd hate to be thevoice of reason here, but there
are legitimate arguments for impeaching and fornot impeaching. I don't think being against
impeachment for majorcis is is unconservative.I think it's just a different way of
(30:30):
looking at it. And like Isaid, I can look at it both
ways. I see both sides ofthat. Now someone's saying they don't want
to impeach him because they like whathe did. Well, now we got
a problem, right, they likehis performance, Now we've got a problem.
But but again, we have asituation right now where Mexico. You
know, we're leading up to theelection presidential election, and all of a
(30:52):
sudden, Mexico, Mexico is gettinga bunch of money from the Biden administration
and they're like cracking down on illegalimmigrants coming to our boyd. Right,
They're cracking down, they're busting heads, they're being brutal, and it's like
they're obviously doing that to help.Obviously, that's an effort to help.
I mean, come on, it'san effort that helps Biden say the border
(31:12):
numbers are down. Look, I'mokay, don't be mad at me about
the border. That's what he's doing, right, That is what the administration
is doing. Anything that distracts fromthat, anything that goes like, hey,
this guy's head is going to roll, not mine because he messed up
the border, that kind of thing. I you know, I think there
(31:33):
are risks involved in doing that.I think it might be short term to
impeach him over it and not impeachBiden over it, right, you know
what I mean? Like, that'sthat's that's where I like I said,
I can see both perspectives on it. But this need York tendency to think
that anyone who isn't in favor ofthis is immediately a rhino who needs to
(31:56):
be outed is like, eh,not so much, you know what I
mean. When it comes to Democrats, I can see where if a Democrat
were in a red state, primarilyred state, and they didn't vote,
I think it could very negatively impactthem, Yes, as a Democrat,
Like it could very negatively impact themas a politician. You know, But
(32:17):
like I said, I think alot of things can be true all at
once. I get that I personally. I think for these moderate Democrats in
the Senate who come from states thatare leaning to the right at the moment,
if a terror attack does happen inAmerica and you can connect it to
what just took place at the border, I got to think they all lose
their jobs. But I mean,you raise a lot of great points as
well. Brandon Darby find his workat Breitbart dot com. Follow him on

rabio with producer KINI peace still beall right. Monday afternoon, you guys
(33:09):
know what happens eclipse apocalypse, Thisworld could end. According to some on
the internet. I don't know.I don't really believe that, but maybe
you do, and you have everyright to believe whatever you want. Monday
is going to be a strange timein America. You almost wonder. I
don't know if I believe the eclipseis going to do anything, but this
(33:31):
idea that's been circulating that elected officialsare going to use the eclipse to stoke
fear. I mean that already appearsto be happening. City councilmen and big
cities around the country. Liberal Democratselected officials are suggesting that they're stocking up
on supplies and preparing for the worst, preparing for what. I don't understand
(33:52):
it. That's why I reached outto artificial We have artificial intelligence software here
in the studio. What kind thebest kind? Money can buy? GROC
from Elon Musk, And I don'tmess with the Google AI or a Laxa
or any of that. I gotmy AI from Elon Musk, the only
red pilled based billionaire in the techworld. And I'm about to ask it
(34:14):
right now. Hey, Groc,you got any suggestions for what we should
do about the solar eclipse on Monday? Here are some tips for viewing the
eclipse. Oh, never stare intothe eclipse. It may cause blindness.
The same thing goes for Ryan Seacrest'steeth. Ah. Here's another tip.
If you can't make it to anarea in the path of the eclipse,
close your eyes. It's the sameeffect. Or try this even though the
(34:37):
eclipse involves the Earth, Sun,and moon. Don't let that stop you
from saying your anus as much aspossible. It's that hilarious. And finally,
since kids don't know any better,tell them the sun broke, the
world will ice over, and allof you will freeze to death. The
look on their face will be worthit. Enjoy your viewing of the eclipse.
It's time once again for voicemail messagesfrom you. The following oicemail messages
(35:00):
were sent from listeners just like youusing the ihard radio app. YEP.
If you want to send us avoicemail, just download the iHeartRadio smartphone app
and push the talk back button.That's it. You can send us a
thirty second audio recording that we willplay on the show at a future date.
So what are you waiting for?Download the app and leave us a
message today. Okay, all right, So these are fun and easy to
(35:24):
leave. Unless you don't like expressingyour opinions, then it's not fun.
It probably gives you anxiety. Butif you do choose to use the iHeartRadio
app to leave me a little voicemailmessage, you just heard him explain it.
A couple more tips. Please don'tswear, and please try to make
a quiet in the background. Ialways like to describe this as like doing
radio without a tightrope, without atightrope, walking without a net. That's
(35:45):
the analogy I'm looking for. BecauseI don't listen to these voicemails ahead of
time, I don't know what you'regonna say. I'm letting you make a
recording. I'm gonna play on therate. You could swear or defame me
or do anything you want, andpeople are about to hear it. All
right, play one of the voicemailelse for me. Hey Kenny, Kenny,
Kenny. I'd hate to dispel yournotion about coincidences God, but did
(36:06):
you remember when you got your firstcar and all of a sudden you notice
that same exact car everywhere. It'sa pattern seeking response from the human brain.
That's why you have coincidence seeking patterns. So you notice because you find
them, they are on your own, like like faces and clouds. See
I will I'm gonna I'm gonna toshaw you on that one. Are you
(36:29):
you say that I'm just noticing thecoincidences because I'm looking at for them.
Is it possible I'm looking for themand God's trying to show them to me.
Is it possible that it's you're thinkingof it as a witch came first
the chicken or the egg situation,right, And you're suggesting God's not behind
all of this. What I'm sayingis, when we go looking for God,
we find him. Do you thinkGod didn't put all those cars out
(36:51):
on the road, my man,Look, I'm gonna pray for your immortal
soul. I'm sorry that you're aheathen and atheist, and there's an extra
crispy place in hell for you.I can't. I can kid. That
was actually a valid point he's making. But I still contest that there's a
God. Sometimes people don't know they'releaving these voicemails. Sounds like this guy's
(37:14):
wife is berating him. See thisis why I probably should listen to these
before I play him on the air. I hit play. It's just a
recording of some guy picking his nosesomewhere. That's no good on there.

Salute from Appalachia. Thanks our listenersare hillbilly listeners in Appalachia. We're grateful
for you. That caller that thatvoicemail lever was probably re acting to the
(38:00):
news that there is now a newautonomous zone in New York City. You
remember, four years ago we weregetting autonomous zones created by It's a really
fancy way of just saying that farleft anarcho commis are behaving without rules in
neighborhoods, very specific places in citieslike Portland and Seattle. We had them
(38:20):
four years ago, and now they'reback. Now they're popping up on the
East Coast. And four years agothey were doing it in the name of
Black Lives Matter. Now they're doingit in the name of Palestine, because
of course that's the new hip thing, right. Want to know a fun
fact, Yes, spider tastes justlike crab. Seriously, if you fry
the stuff and put it between somebread, you would swear you're eating a
crab sandwich. Spider tastes just likecrab. I've never had a crab sandwich.
(38:45):
Do you mean a lobster roll?Nobody eats crab sandwiches. I've never
heard of such a thing. Butnow I got to admit, as much
as I don't want to take theUnited Nations advice and eat bugs, I
do kind of want to try eatingspider. After you told me that,
sir, that suicide lady ought totry having sex with a man, Mike
(39:07):
change her disposition. Oh, Iget what he's reacting to. We were
talking the other day about legal suicide. There's a woman in the Netherlands who's
going to get in one of thosesuicide pods. Eugenics are all the rage
right now in places like Canada andEurope and other non American state agencies like
Oregon for Washington State, somewhere onthe West Coast. I forget where suicide
(39:29):
is legal, and I discourage youfrom killing yourself. But that caller heard
the news we were sharing earlier thisweek about somebody that is going to legally
commit suicide, and what he pointedout is maybe she just needs the touch
of a good man to convince herthat life on earth is worth it.
And although that is a little misogynist, it's probably true. I'm Kenny Webster.

Government shucks it, dont stuff.You're listening to the pursuit of happiness radio.
Good for you. The government area bunch of clowns. The pursuit
of happiness radio. Guns don't killpeople. The government does the pursuit of
happiness radio. Government to the pursuitof happiness radio. It's the government,
(00:20):
all right. People don't work therebecause they're geniuses. The pursuit of happiness
radio. We have less brains inWashington right now than we've ever had since
we're in a nation. We havea word. We have a word for
(00:44):
Texas Republicans who still support House SpeakerDave Fhalen and Congressional Representative Tony Gonzalez.
That word is Democrat. We'll betalking about that later on the show today
with Matt Ronaldi, the outgoing chairmanof the Republican Party. Man has done
an amazing job. He'll be herea little bit later, just stick around
for that. Also stopped by theshow today, my good buddy Brandon Darby,
(01:08):
still recovering from what was it thathappened to him, be spraining his
knee or something. Is a poorguy injured himself, but a little more
interesting than his mundane in injury thatI'm sure he'll get over. He's one
hundred and seventy dead bodies found inanother cartel mass grave not far away from
the border. We'll get to allof that very soon, but we begin
(01:30):
with this today. J'ell. Rememberover the last four years, in between
now and January sixth, there havebeen multiple incidents, I mean many incidents
of liberals protesting in the nation's capital. Nobody got arrested, or if they
did get arrested, they didn't endup doing jail time for it. There
have been incidents with people protesting instate capitals around the country. Again,
(01:56):
any punishment for that little to none. Do you remember the protest at the
Tennessee State capital from far left lawmakers, so some of them were actually voted
out of office and then brought backinto office. You remember that none of
them did any jail time. I'msure you see where I'm going with this.
If you haven't already heard the news, The Federalist has a report today
(02:16):
after being strung up on charges byJoe Biden's Department of Justice. A seventy
one year old great grandma. She'sa great grandma. She's not a mom,
she's not a grandma. She's agreat grandma. I mean, she
is a mom and a grandma,but she's a great grand's old lady.
It's gonna be thrown in jail,very likely thrown in jail because she walked
(02:36):
around the Capitol for a few minuteson January sixth, twenty twenty one.
Meet Rebecca Lovrenz, convicted on fourcounts just yesterday after three days of jury
deliberation for entering the Capitol on Januarysix This poor woman entered the building through
an open door two forty three pm, according to an official statement of facts,
(02:58):
walked in like a lot of people, those doors were wide open.
She felt that if those doors opened, that she was supposed to or at
least allowed to go through them.Exited the capital ten minutes later, having
briefly spoken to at least one Capitolpolice officer before leaving, walked inside,
(03:20):
spoke to a police officer. Left. Months later, two FBI agents showed
up at her home in Colorado.She told the agent she was in the
middle of baking a cake for herson because that's what great grandmas do,
and asked if they could return ata different time. Bless her heart,
The agent's returned a week later fora consensual interview, and then they investigated
(03:46):
her for months months. How muchmoney was wasted investigating this woman. They
reportedly told her she should be gratefulthe weaponized agency would only charge the self
described praying great grandmother with four misdemeanorcharges for entering a building that her tax
dollars pay for. By the way, imagine that this woman was charged with
(04:08):
entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct, disruptive conduct and a
restricted building, disorderly conduct in thecapitol, parading, demonstrating or picketing in
a capital Those are the charges.Doesn't that just sound like it's the same
thing over and over again. Well, according to the report, she could
face up to a year in prisonand be fined two hundred thousand dollars,
(04:30):
not including her legal fees. Evenif she doesn't get that much punishment.
Isn't it crazy like the process isthe punishment. What a waste of time?
She went to the capitol, Herand thousands of other people walked inside
because they thought they could. Someof them were invited inside by who by
agents of the government. Some ofthem were walked around the building and then
(04:55):
there's the story of Stuart Parks,who was sentenced to eight months in prison
after being convicted of the same chargesas this woman. This guy, actually,
he also got in trouble for pickingup a metal detector wand and walking
around with it for a period oftime. The Biden administration is clearly trying
to send a message that the socalled wrong kind of political protests will not
(05:18):
be tolerated, because you remember whathappened before this. Do you all remember
June first, twenty twenty. Yeah, we all talk about the Black Lives
Matter protests and how terrible they were. In twenty twenty, people died.
I mean, unlike January six wherenobody died, right, we were,
Okay, a couple of people died, a couple of Republicans that were protesting
died, But none of the copsthat they told you died because of January
(05:41):
sixth actually died because of January sixth. But there are dozens of examples of
people dying at Black Lives Matter riotsaround the country in the year twenty twenty.
But never forget January. Excuse me, June first, twenty twenty June
first, twenty twenty, thousands ofangry leftists surrounded the White House, lit
fires, toppled over things, knockedover, destroyed a statue. And these
(06:08):
people actually did damage, hurt alot of people, killed people. But
somehow that didn't matter. January sixthdid. The Left has tried to portray
January six as a violent insurrection,despite video footage and an almost unlimited amount
of witness testimony contradicting the narrative.We've got video footage from the Capitol.
(06:30):
On January six, Speaker Mike Johnsonreleased it. It was withheld by former
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and it showsdozens of peaceful demonstrators walking through the Capitol.
Officers escorting them through the building seeminglyunconcerned. The officers didn't seem to
care. Why should you, Well, I'll tell you why. Because now
it's an electioneer and they need tomake this count. They need you to
(06:54):
be punished, They need you tobe afraid to speak out, and sadly,
it seems to be working. Youlistening to the Suit of Happiness radio,
I guess it's not available in Canada. Cuck crying question for you,
(07:20):
conscious radio listener, somebody that paysattention, you're paying attention. I bet
if you're listening to this talk radiostation, you vote right. You don't
just vote once every four years inthe presidential election. That's like watching the
super Bowl. That doesn't matter.You actually vote. You vote for local
candidates, You vote in the mayoralrace, the county judge, you get
involved in you attend the state convention, and God bless you for doing it.
(07:44):
There's a lot of people listening tothis show, some people that listen
to the show that are more involvedpolitically than I am. And I'm grateful
for every one of you out there, just for tuning in and paying attention
to what's going on. But aquestion for you, and the question is
this, what is the point ofpower if you don't use it? Or
what is the point of power ifyou hand it over to your adversaries?
For many years now, the Republicanshave controlled the state of Texas past couple
(08:07):
decades at least, and for manyyears, what have they done with that
power? Well, we've given committeechair positions to Democrats. We've allowed state
agencies to perform like rogue agencies,pushing a liberal agenda in public schools and
other publicly funded institutions. Why whywould we do that over the past couple
(08:28):
of years, we've seen a changein tone. Some people open their eyes
when they saw what happened with theimpeachment of Ken Paxton. But as important
as that was, I feel likethere was another really defining moment for grassroots
conservatives to take over the party overthe last few years, and that was
when a good friend of this show, Texas Republican Party Chairman Matt Ronaldi,
took power. Matt has a figurativelyspeaking, dropped bombs and made some big
(08:54):
waves and good rightfully, so right. Matt and I might not agree on
every little political position, but onething we do agree on that the will
of the people, the grassroots conservativemajority, should be the agenda of the
Republican Party. Does anybody disagree withthat? That seems like an obvious one
for me. There's a little controversysince the Paxton impeachment was botched and for
(09:18):
some people forgotten about, especially withhow well the primaries went, you might
be led to believe that the oldschool establishment, the Rhino Republicans, the
Neocons, the Bush Republicans, they'regone now and they don't matter. Well,
you'd be wrong. As a matterof fact. Matt Ronaldi is now
stepping down as chairman of the RepublicanParty. I think he's done an amazing
job, and apparently he's got ambitionsto do some other stuff. I've got
(09:41):
him on hold right now, andI think people need to pay more attention
to the feud taking place right nowover who's going to replace him than some
people that bothered to do. Matt'son the line. Matt first of all,
thinks for some time this afternoon,a lot of people don't even know
who these people are that are tryingto replace you, and they should matters.
Can you explain why it matters?Because over the past three years in
(10:05):
my tenure, myself and the StateRepublican Party Executive Committee have made this race
matter. Traditionally, the State Partyhad acted like the RNC, where it
just remained neutral in any intra partymatters and just focused exclusively on Democrats in
November. We've focused on Democrats inNovember and done it well, winning elections
(10:28):
by larger margins than we have sincetwenty fourteen. But we've also used the
power that we had, which isbasically derived from the grassroots who do the
platform and the legislative priority. We'veused the power we had to weigh in
on matters like the Paxton impeachment andDaid Feeling and appointing Democrats to preside over
(10:48):
committees in the House. And we'vedone it successfully dated Feeling's in a runoff
now Paxton wasn't impeached. We've doneit very successfully, and we've spent money
during obsession doing it as well anddoing it effectively. So the race matters
now. And you see that withthe reaction of stakeholders to the chairman's race
(11:09):
a year ago, people like JustinHolland representatives for Rockwall, We're saying,
ah, nobody cares about the RepublicanParty. It doesn't matter. Now they're
very invested in who the next chairis going to be because we've given the
grassroots power that they've never had before. There's always lobbyists at the table.
It was always corporations at the table. But now they have a seat at
(11:30):
the table through the Republican Party,and the combined power of them through that
organization is very significant. All right, explain who the two candidates are that
are getting the most attention and who'sbacking them. First, we have Dana
Meyer, who is running on aplatform of she says for the Republican Party
(11:52):
to be less divisive. Whenever anyonesays less divisive, that's code word for
we don't like it when you saybad things about date ceiling. So it's
it's basically she wants to bring theparty back to doing what we did before,
which is effectively being a cheerleading societyfor elected officials and not being involved
(12:13):
in any of these very important interparty fights, intra party fights like the
paxcident Teacher. On the other side, you have Abraham George that wants to
continue what I've done with the partyin making it, you know, an
important an important power broker in Texaspolitics, giving the grassroots power and using
(12:33):
it to achieve those outcomes. SoI'm I'm enthusiastically supporting Abraham, who is
the former Collin County chair and didit to for he is a proven record
and I think you make a greatchair. All right, I can't help
but notice there are some people thatare trying to sling mud right now at
Abraham George. Some look people thata handful of people I might even consider
(12:54):
to be friends of this show.But more importantly than the show, there's
something deeper happy here. The peoplefunding the attacks on him are being powered.
I mean this, there's a veryspecific group of people that are empowering
these attacks on him. And alot of it does go back to the
old school Bush Republicans, doesn't it? Yeah? It does. And you
know what's very telling, what's verytelling to be is who's just at a
(13:16):
rate for state representative inner primary?We're over a million dollars I think around
a million dollars was spent against himand he wasn't attacked as hard as he
was what he announced that he wasrunning for GOP chair like a week later.
You could tell they you could tellwhat they really see is the threat.
(13:37):
Right, it's the Republican Party ofTexas chair, which is so important
while we why we keep it ingood hands. All right, I'm glad
you explained that. So if listenerswho are involved or just you know,
casually or really actively involved, wantto throw a little bit of support to
Abraham George and they're confused by theprocess, what can they do? Well,
they can or go on Twitter,subscribe to Abraham George dot com in
(14:03):
d m him see how they canhelp volunteer be a delegated convention I mean,
that's the most important thing. Theonly people will get to vote delegates
to the state convention. We justchose them at state Senate district conventions.
Hopefully they got they got on thelist, and if they do, just
come and vote for Abra. Ilove how you explained that Matt always puts
this stuff. Matt and I spokeprivately on the phone earlier this week and
(14:26):
we were talking about this, andI told them, look, i have
a handful of friends on both sides, and I'm not sure I want to
get too involved in this. AndMatt was, without you know, without
getting too deep into the details,just explaining it like he did with me.
Right now, it became pretty clearto me we all probably should get
more involved. Another thing I wantpeople to pay attention to this week is
the Texas Ethics Commission. There's aproposed rule right now that's been getting a
(14:48):
lot of attention from liberal journalists.Liberal journalists around the state at places like
The Houston Comical, the Dallas MorningSnooze, the Texas Tribune are applauding this
idea that people that write tweets shouldhave to label their tweets if they're sponsored
by a political entity, which isa very vague rule. Right. It's
(15:09):
like, okay, well, whatdoes that even mean? Right, Like
if somebody works with a special interestgroup, if somebody works with the political
group, if somebody works for theRepublican Party, if somebody works somebody's being
if they're journalism is being funded,that these tweets should all have to be
labeled as such. Strangely enough,there's one guy at the Texas Tribune and
(15:30):
used to work for the Houston Chronicle. He and I have argued with each
other publicly many times. His name'sRobert Downin, and Robert Downan, who
sits around all day long writing aboutpolitical issues involving Republicans and Christians, does
not think that his tweets, hiswork is political by any means at all.
But he's very upset that Matt Rinaldi'stweets aren't being labeled with government rules
(15:54):
and regulations because Matt Ronaldi works forthe Republican Party. Am I explaining this,
right, Matt? It's so ridiculous. It's almost as though he thinks
he should be exempt from the rulesbecause he's on the left and we shouldn't
because we're on the right. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what it
is. And the rule that you'retalking about is people would have to,
if they're compensated for tweeting or youknow, doing social media posts, need
(16:18):
to label their post as political advertising. Now, ironically, I would not
have to do that by any stretchof the imagination, because my position's volunteer.
I don't get paid for being sureof it. That's that's true.
That's true. Yeah, But RobertDowning gets paid for his position that he
tweets all day, and he tweetson political matters, you know, not
a journalist by any sense of theimagination. He's a political operative. You
(16:42):
can tell by his articles. Youcan also tell by his tweets. So
if he's comfortable with an imposing party'sattorney general currently being the top law enforcement
officer in the state of Texas,while he's getting paid to tweet during work
hours, imposing a rule that couldtarget him, Okay, so be it.
(17:03):
We'll play that game. And ifI'm not mistaken, the Texas Tribune
gets private funding, isn't it anonprofit? I mean, of course it's
political, right, they're getting thatmoney tax exempt. If I'm not mistaken
or I'm not quite sure how therules work for them, but they're getting
that money because they're pushing a politicalagenda and doing it under the umbrella of
being a nonprofit. Yeah, Imean they're getting I forgot exactly how much
(17:26):
it was, but yeah, sevenJohn Arnold gives seven million dollars to the
Texas Tribune so they can pay reporterswho can tweet about political matters, which
almost exclusively target conservatives. So yeah, that's very political and is exactly what
they're supposed to what they're purportedly railingagainst. But it's only bad when our
(17:48):
side does it, right, Okay. So they're talking about Influenceable, which
is a service that pays to getout news about particular things, like a
particular like fifty dollars a tweet.I don't even know what it is,
but you know, And then whenlike Sound of Freedom plays, they pay
a bunch of influencers a bunch ofmoney to talk about Sound of Freedom being
(18:10):
out. That's what they're talking about, right, It's totally bad when they
do it. Okay. It's theytheir money to a journalistic organ supposedly journalistic
organization that then pays their reporters totweet about local. Yeah, it's okay
when they do it. Here's whythe rule confuses me so much. You
know, I do this for aliving, Matt. I'm a syndicated morning
news host. I have this localshow in the afternoon where we talk about
(18:32):
Texas and Houston politics. And believeit or not, Matt, I don't
do this for free. But anotherthing I don't do is get told what
to say on the radio. Myprogram director, my station manager. They
don't care. I can be aliberal, a libertarian. I could be
a communist, a conservative. Icould be a Neocon. I could be
a neoliberal. I could be amoderate. I could be anything I want.
I can. I don't even haveto talk about politics. But I
do it for a living, andmy tweets are used to promote the show.
(18:56):
Clearly, what else would I I'mout on? You know, I
choose to do this content because I'minterested in it. So under these this
vague rule from the Texas Ethics Commissionthat's being proposed, is my content is
it paid political content? If they'renot telling me what to say? I
mean arguably, because if you're doingit on company time, that's the problem.
(19:19):
This is not only a vague rule. It's one that's completely unenforceable,
and you know, if it's enforcedthe way that people like these reporters want
it to be enforced, and onlybe enforced against, you know, the
little people, people who are notlike like you, people who are just
you know, tweeting every day andit might be on company times. So
(19:41):
it's it's a completely unworkable rule.I think it's blatantly unconstitutional. I don't
think there's any chance this thing getsupheld. But if it is going to
be applied, it should be appliedagainst those reporters. You know how I
know Matt is the best party chairmanwe've had in the Republican Party in years.
Listen to this headline from the SanAntonio Express News, Texas GEO PEA
chair Matt Rinaldi Comma, who helpedstoke party divisions. Comma will step down.
(20:07):
When I read that, I justthink, man, man, that's
the kind of guy I want.Matt. What's next for you? Well?
Now, just being a father anda husband and going back to my
family. I'm sure I will bevery involved in politics going forward. I
don't know how much. There's somuch work to do, and I want
to be a part of it atsome level. I'm just just you know,
(20:30):
excited to pass the baton and tosomebody who's very capable like Abraham and
and get to work. All Right, the conventions next week and next month
in May. Are you going tobe there. Yeah, I'm not seating
the gavel until after the election,so I'll start presiding over the convention this
temporary chair. And that's that's whatmy turn ents. That's what I assume.
(20:52):
But I just figured i'd let youexplain it. Matt Ronaldi. If
you're not following him on social media, keep up with the work he does.
I don't know where he's gonna endup, like you just explained,
But I have a funny feeling we'venot heard the end of Matt Naldi after
this year. Sure, it's whatit is. I'm star cousin right here
for Seeds. It's ha worked tohost the show with a couple of knucklehears
(21:14):
Ken Western Giah. Wait a second, what is that edgy music from the
eighties? That can only mean onething. Kenny's about to talk to that
guy from Breitbart sounds like from TexasJustice to me, Locket and now Live
(21:37):
from the Border it's Breitbart's Brandon Darbywith the Cartel Chronicles only on KPRC Radio.
All right, there's a feud betweenthe House and the Senate over the
impeachment at may Orcus. We'll getto that in a minute. Let's let's
start right now. Let's lead withthis top news story today at Breitbart Texas.
The Biden administration just lost a courtchallenge to hold migrant children in outdoor
(22:03):
camps. A US district court judgeruled in favor of several human rights groups
that filed a legal action against JoeBiden in March. The group's claim the
border Patrol was failing to properly carefor migrant children staged at makeshift outdoor camp
sites along the US Mexico border.This ruling this week from US District Judge
Dolly g will now force the Bidenadministration to quickly provide suitable shelter and amenities
(22:30):
for migrant children in accordance with aprevious court settlement. Here's what's so crazy
about this. If it wasn't forBreitbart dot Com, most people wouldn't even
know that this happened. For fouryears, all you heard about was how
terribly the migrants at the border werebeing treated by Donald Trump. But Brandon
Tarmey, this sounds worse than whatTrump did. Oh, that's yeah.
(22:52):
But that's that's the thing is thatit's very frustrating to me because when we
have a Democrat, it's like thecagees thing, the chain link partitions,
which are actually there in these facilitiesto protect children from unknown adults who may
be predators, right to protect womenfrom unknown adults. That's why they have
(23:15):
the chain link you know. Obamaput up the chain rink and then whenever
Trump became president, all of asudden, all of these pictures of these
chain link things, these Trump cageswent around and they were pictures from the
Obama administration, you know, Andthat's it just shows exactly what Andrew Breibard
always said exactly what many others nowsay. Mainstream media as a general rule,
(23:41):
legacy media is biased, is hellin favor of democrats. When democrats
are in office, they don't come, they're not at the border covering NonStop.
That you know is AOC on theborder, crying at the fence,
taking photo shoots like of her cryingbecause kids are being kept in bad conditions.
No they're not right. It's onlywhen a Republican's in there does media
(24:06):
care. Therefore, do do mostliberals care? Because that they're being manipulated
by the mainstream media? I donot just it. I don't know how
many people remember this, but waybefore most people knew who John Podesta was,
Andrew Breiitbart called him out. AndrewBreibart called out John Podesta for being
a creepy weirdo, and then theWiki leaks emails revealed that John Podesto is
(24:30):
involved in something called spirit cooking.I'll let the listeners look up that one
if they want. Then they realizedJohn Podesto was the strategic mind behind Hillary
and Obama and so many other nefariouspoliticians. Andrew Breipart was. That was
twenty eleven. He was way aheadof the gamut on that one. Now
today John Podesta was just named theBorders are He's going to replace John Kerrey.
(24:52):
If Andrew Breitbart was alive today,and I know he's had a huge
influence on my life, He's hadan even bigger influence on your life.
What do you do you think hewould say about what's currently happening. Well,
the thing about Andrew and you know, I really don't like to do.
You know this, People do thisall the time, and I usually
(25:12):
get pretty mad at him. Notwhat you're doing. I'm saying. What
people do all the time is they'llthey'll try to say, oh, Andrew
would have felt this way about thisguy, or Andrew would have Andrew would
have And so what I generally dois I look at I think of my
friend, and I think of thegeneral you know, the general spirit behind
(25:33):
what he felt. Right, SoI know that he just from his interviews
and talking to him, I knowthat he was extremely sympathetic to people who
wanted to come here. He wasextremely sympathetic to why they want to come
here. He was also very mucha law and order person and believe that
(25:57):
we had to do find a legalway for people to come here. And
he also believed that we had tomake sure we weren't hurting US citizens and
workers average workers by allowing too manypeople to come here. Right, So
I know that those were the generaltenants behind everything he felt. And every
(26:18):
time that he discussed immigration or bordermatters in public and speeches are on interviews,
and I know that that's the generalspirit behind what he talked with me
about right, So what would hethink, you know, Like, I
think he would would probably stay trueto his core tenants and he would probably
(26:41):
be like sympathetic. I get whetherthey want they come here. Can't let
everybody come here, you know whatI mean, can't have it this way,
can't have lawlessness, and which Ithink is you know, you got
to remember at the time that Istarted to work with Andrews shortly after,
you know, I began to reallypromote this idea that that an unsecured border
(27:03):
and to have an uncontrolled border wasunhumanitarian in every way, and to focus
on the plight of the people whocome here, right. And Andrew was
very supportive of me. So whatdo I think he would think of this
that, you know, I thinkthat probably answers the best I can without
you know, me saying yeah,yeah, anybody replocated. But those were
(27:30):
the general tenets of who he wasand what was behind any of his policy
views. Really in general, hewas a very sympathetic person to people and
try to understand where people were comingfrom and why they did what they did
or why they felt like what theyfelt like. But at the same time,
he held true to law and order, and you know, to making
(27:52):
sure that Americans were taken care of, the American workers were taken care of.
Well. Speaking of law and order, right now, there is a
move to oust Alejandro Mayorcis, theSecretary of Homeland Security, and there's this
feud between Speaker Mike Johnson of theHouse and the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
And obviously the Republicans of the Housewant the impeachment to happen. McConnell
(28:15):
says he's going to bury it now. The argument that the Republicans of the
House are making is this, andthis is something you've covered more than anyone.
There is a terror threat in Americaright now, and the what ifs
are are terrifying. You know,for lack of a better word, cliche
and pun intended. How many terroristsare in America is the question? Right
because we know that known terrorists havewalked over the border. And given that
(28:37):
it's an election year right now,you have some very vulnerable Senate Democrats John
Tester of Montana, Jackie Rosen ofNevada, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Scharad
Brown of Ohio, Bob Casey ofPennsylvania. Look, some of these are
swing states. Montana's a red state. These places have democrats in high ranking
(28:57):
positions who could stay intruants clearly don'twant terrorists in the country. Do you
think there's any there there? Doyou think anything will come of the fact
that we actually have that Democrats thatare up for reelection right now, who
are vulnerable to getting to getting removedfrom office might actually have to vote to
impeach may orcus or Do you thinkthis is all for nothing? Okay,
(29:18):
so you know, here's what Ithink. I think ultimately the responsibility for
what Biden's administration does is on Biden, right. I think it's on Biden's
I think doing things that run arisk of distracting from that. Saying oh,
we're going to impeach mayorcis for Biden'spolicies. I get it. I
(29:42):
see both sides of it. Onone hand, it makes sense it's a
big slam against Biden to hold himaccountable for what his administration has done on
the border. But on the otherhand, I buy the argument that it
takes the heat off Biden and itsays, oh, his guy who messed
up, his guy who did anddo it right, could be removed and
know now the problems solved, right, it gives the Biden administration a hell
(30:07):
of an out. And I don'tyou know, on that hand, I
don't like it. So I thinkthat there are legitimate arguments. You know,
again, I'd hate to be thevoice of reason here, but there
are legitimate arguments for impeaching and fornot impeaching. I don't think being against
impeachment for majorcis is is unconservative.I think it's just a different way of
(30:30):
looking at it. And like Isaid, I can look at it both
ways. I see both sides ofthat. Now someone's saying they don't want
to impeach him because they like whathe did. Well, now we got
a problem, right, they likehis performance, Now we've got a problem.
But but again, we have asituation right now where Mexico. You
know, we're leading up to theelection presidential election, and all of a
(30:52):
sudden, Mexico, Mexico is gettinga bunch of money from the Biden administration
and they're like cracking down on illegalimmigrants coming to our boyd. Right,
They're cracking down, they're busting heads, they're being brutal, and it's like
they're obviously doing that to help.Obviously, that's an effort to help.
I mean, come on, it'san effort that helps Biden say the border
(31:12):
numbers are down. Look, I'mokay, don't be mad at me about
the border. That's what he's doing, right, That is what the administration
is doing. Anything that distracts fromthat, anything that goes like, hey,
this guy's head is going to roll, not mine because he messed up
the border, that kind of thing. I you know, I think there
(31:33):
are risks involved in doing that.I think it might be short term to
impeach him over it and not impeachBiden over it, right, you know
what I mean? Like, that'sthat's that's where I like I said,
I can see both perspectives on it. But this need York tendency to think
that anyone who isn't in favor ofthis is immediately a rhino who needs to
(31:56):
be outed is like, eh,not so much, you know what I
mean. When it comes to Democrats, I can see where if a Democrat
were in a red state, primarilyred state, and they didn't vote,
I think it could very negatively impactthem, Yes, as a Democrat,
Like it could very negatively impact themas a politician. You know, But
(32:17):
like I said, I think alot of things can be true all at
once. I get that I personally. I think for these moderate Democrats in
the Senate who come from states thatare leaning to the right at the moment,
if a terror attack does happen inAmerica and you can connect it to
what just took place at the border, I got to think they all lose
their jobs. But I mean,you raise a lot of great points as
well. Brandon Darby find his workat Breitbart dot com. Follow him on
(32:40):
X. Hello. My name isPedro. My favorite things to do are
smuggle drugs, pro create like arabbit, and listen to Pursuit of Happiness
rabio with producer KINI peace still beall right. Monday afternoon, you guys
(33:09):
know what happens eclipse apocalypse, Thisworld could end. According to some on
the internet. I don't know.I don't really believe that, but maybe
you do, and you have everyright to believe whatever you want. Monday
is going to be a strange timein America. You almost wonder. I
don't know if I believe the eclipseis going to do anything, but this
(33:31):
idea that's been circulating that elected officialsare going to use the eclipse to stoke
fear. I mean that already appearsto be happening. City councilmen and big
cities around the country. Liberal Democratselected officials are suggesting that they're stocking up
on supplies and preparing for the worst, preparing for what. I don't understand
(33:52):
it. That's why I reached outto artificial We have artificial intelligence software here
in the studio. What kind thebest kind? Money can buy? GROC
from Elon Musk, And I don'tmess with the Google AI or a Laxa
or any of that. I gotmy AI from Elon Musk, the only
red pilled based billionaire in the techworld. And I'm about to ask it
(34:14):
right now. Hey, Groc,you got any suggestions for what we should
do about the solar eclipse on Monday? Here are some tips for viewing the
eclipse. Oh, never stare intothe eclipse. It may cause blindness.
The same thing goes for Ryan Seacrest'steeth. Ah. Here's another tip.
If you can't make it to anarea in the path of the eclipse,
close your eyes. It's the sameeffect. Or try this even though the
(34:37):
eclipse involves the Earth, Sun,and moon. Don't let that stop you
from saying your anus as much aspossible. It's that hilarious. And finally,
since kids don't know any better,tell them the sun broke, the
world will ice over, and allof you will freeze to death. The
look on their face will be worthit. Enjoy your viewing of the eclipse.
It's time once again for voicemail messagesfrom you. The following oicemail messages
(35:00):
were sent from listeners just like youusing the ihard radio app. YEP.
If you want to send us avoicemail, just download the iHeartRadio smartphone app
and push the talk back button.That's it. You can send us a
thirty second audio recording that we willplay on the show at a future date.
So what are you waiting for?Download the app and leave us a
message today. Okay, all right, So these are fun and easy to
(35:24):
leave. Unless you don't like expressingyour opinions, then it's not fun.
It probably gives you anxiety. Butif you do choose to use the iHeartRadio
app to leave me a little voicemailmessage, you just heard him explain it.
A couple more tips. Please don'tswear, and please try to make
a quiet in the background. Ialways like to describe this as like doing
radio without a tightrope, without atightrope, walking without a net. That's
(35:45):
the analogy I'm looking for. BecauseI don't listen to these voicemails ahead of
time, I don't know what you'regonna say. I'm letting you make a
recording. I'm gonna play on therate. You could swear or defame me
or do anything you want, andpeople are about to hear it. All
right, play one of the voicemailelse for me. Hey Kenny, Kenny,
Kenny. I'd hate to dispel yournotion about coincidences God, but did
(36:06):
you remember when you got your firstcar and all of a sudden you notice
that same exact car everywhere. It'sa pattern seeking response from the human brain.
That's why you have coincidence seeking patterns. So you notice because you find
them, they are on your own, like like faces and clouds. See
I will I'm gonna I'm gonna toshaw you on that one. Are you
(36:29):
you say that I'm just noticing thecoincidences because I'm looking at for them.
Is it possible I'm looking for themand God's trying to show them to me.
Is it possible that it's you're thinkingof it as a witch came first
the chicken or the egg situation,right, And you're suggesting God's not behind
all of this. What I'm sayingis, when we go looking for God,
we find him. Do you thinkGod didn't put all those cars out
(36:51):
on the road, my man,Look, I'm gonna pray for your immortal
soul. I'm sorry that you're aheathen and atheist, and there's an extra
crispy place in hell for you.I can't. I can kid. That
was actually a valid point he's making. But I still contest that there's a
God. Sometimes people don't know they'releaving these voicemails. Sounds like this guy's
(37:14):
wife is berating him. See thisis why I probably should listen to these
before I play him on the air. I hit play. It's just a
recording of some guy picking his nosesomewhere. That's no good on there.
The daily investigations by the FBIF citizensfor social media post is reminiscent of Naziss
and commie STATSI secret police knocking olddoors to ensure compliance with government policy.

Salute from Appalachia. Thanks our listenersare hillbilly listeners in Appalachia. We're grateful
for you. That caller that thatvoicemail lever was probably re acting to the
(38:00):
news that there is now a newautonomous zone in New York City. You
remember, four years ago we weregetting autonomous zones created by It's a really
fancy way of just saying that farleft anarcho commis are behaving without rules in
neighborhoods, very specific places in citieslike Portland and Seattle. We had them
(38:20):
four years ago, and now they'reback. Now they're popping up on the
East Coast. And four years agothey were doing it in the name of
Black Lives Matter. Now they're doingit in the name of Palestine, because
of course that's the new hip thing, right. Want to know a fun
fact, Yes, spider tastes justlike crab. Seriously, if you fry
the stuff and put it between somebread, you would swear you're eating a
crab sandwich. Spider tastes just likecrab. I've never had a crab sandwich.
(38:45):
Do you mean a lobster roll?Nobody eats crab sandwiches. I've never
heard of such a thing. Butnow I got to admit, as much
as I don't want to take theUnited Nations advice and eat bugs, I
do kind of want to try eatingspider. After you told me that,
sir, that suicide lady ought totry having sex with a man, Mike
(39:07):
change her disposition. Oh, Iget what he's reacting to. We were
talking the other day about legal suicide. There's a woman in the Netherlands who's
going to get in one of thosesuicide pods. Eugenics are all the rage
right now in places like Canada andEurope and other non American state agencies like
Oregon for Washington State, somewhere onthe West Coast. I forget where suicide
(39:29):
is legal, and I discourage youfrom killing yourself. But that caller heard
the news we were sharing earlier thisweek about somebody that is going to legally
commit suicide, and what he pointedout is maybe she just needs the touch
of a good man to convince herthat life on earth is worth it.
And although that is a little misogynist, it's probably true. I'm Kenny Webster.
