Jack ganon Government Sucks Soon of HappinessRadio is DeLux. Liberty and freedom will
make you smile of a suit ofhapping and us on your radio toil just
as cheeseburgers a living fries at thesooo time. Today is National Pet Day,
(00:26):
so don't be surprised if you seeTaylor Swift taking Travis Kelcey for a
walk. It's true. Kids.Hi, thanks for turning on your radio.
I'm Kenny Webster. Every afternoon fromthree to four pm you can hear
this radio show. It's a sortof a spin off of our morning show,
The Walton Johnson Show, and Ilove having you here, so thanks
for tuning in today. We havea lot of very funny people on the
(00:47):
show. Chad Prather is going tobe here. You might know him from
Blaze TV. He's a stand upcomedian. He's a musician. He tours
around the country telling jokes, singingsongs, and he's stopping buying just a
little bit. Also stopping by theshow today. Tim mathis stand up comedian
one of the guys that helped mecreate Operation Comedy Therapy. We throw the
(01:07):
occasional charity comedy show to raise moneyfor wheelchairs for Warriors dot Org. And
it's not necessarily what we're talking abouttoday, but we're going to take a
trip to Hollywood and beyond, ashe joins me, the big story today.
Everybody's blown away by this. O. J. Simpson has died.
I know you're very sad about that. You are. But even though that's
what everybody's going to talk about todayon cable news and talk radio all day,
(01:33):
because the media is obsessed with agood scandal, it doesn't actually matter.
I mean, of course it doesn'tmatter. What matters is the election
in November. What matters is multiplewars happening around the world. What happens
at our border matters because the immigrationcrisis in this country is radically transforming us
into a different place than the placethat we used to be. The inflation
(02:00):
this week probably sodomized your retirement account, for lack of a better term,
very sad news. What's going onwith the economy. I mean, we
all knew that was inevitable. Butif you're new to the radio show and
you don't know much about me otherthan that I'm the co host of a
popular morning show. Hi, I'mKenny Webster. I'm a liberty Republican.
(02:22):
I was part of the Ron Paulpolitical movement when I was a young man,
and I did comedy on the radioand a radio show in Chicago called
The Man Cow Show, and itended up pushing me here to Texas years
later, where I would like tobelieve I'm principled, but I'm also pragmatic.
And I say all that to makethis point as a liberty Republican,
(02:43):
as a lowercase al libertarian, there'snothing that is as bad for the libertarian
movement than other libertarians. Libertarians arethe most self destructive people in politics.
They have great ideas, they havethe worst messa. They over focus on
issues that don't matter. Libertarians willspend lots of time telling you we need
(03:06):
to lower the age of consent.Why, why do you need to Why
is that important to you. Libertarianswill spend lots of time telling you we
should get rid of driver's licenses,as if that's the biggest problem we have
being required to show an ID whenyou drive a car. And the libertarian's
favorite thing to do is to tellother libertarians that they're not libertarian enough.
(03:29):
Well, this week, conservatives tooka page out of the libertarian playbook,
telling other Republicans that Donald Trump's stanceon abortion is not conservative enough. He
came out earlier this week in favorof states rights, and I gotta think
there's and I know it sucks tohear this. If you're pro life and
you don't like Trump, I gotto think there is no living president that
(03:50):
has done more for the pro lifemovement than Donald Trump. If he's not
good enough for you, then whatexactly is the standard? Kurt Schlichter,
a friend of the show author attownhall dot com, recently said to the
never trumpers, it's time to putaside your fussy principles about how ikey you
think Donald Trump is. And he'sright. Look, this is serious.
(04:13):
Right now. We need all handson deck. Things are getting bad in
America. I get that you don'tlike Trump. Let's agree that he's ikey
for the purposes of that discussion.Fine, Trump's ikey. Okay, his
tweets were mean, He's not aconservative ideologue. He says silly things.
He starts fights with people on socialmedia, and you think that's annoying.
(04:35):
Okay, let's agree that that's alltrue. Let's agree that in normal times,
one might want to forego supporting aguy like that. Here's the problem,
guys, it ain't normal times.There's nothing normal about what's going on
right now. Things have changed alot over the last several years. This
is life and death, not justfor cops or soldiers or border patrol agents,
(04:58):
but maybe even for you and meand our family. Look, you,
guys, know there are treacherous weirdoswho sit around all day watching MSNBC
sending their children to drag queen shows. I don't think you and I could
do anything to save them. Butif you're one of those never Trump Republicans,
one of those neo cons, oneof those hardline you're a conservative,
(05:23):
but you're not the current brand ofconservative. You're the guy who's having difficulty
making the leap and backing Trump twopoint zero. Some of you might not
be, but I know there's alot of you out there. There's a
performative aspect to not backing Donald Trump. You dug in against him, and
(05:43):
digging yourself out and publicly changing yourmind can be tough. I get that,
But when facts change, choices needto change, and boy have facts
changed. Let's look at where ourcountry is right now. America is in
a hole. Joe Biden is diggingus deeper into the hole. We have
a wide open border. Fentnyl iskilling tens of thousands of Americans a year.
(06:06):
Tens of millions of illegals just streamedinto the country. We know that
a large enough portion of them arecriminals that it's concerning. Rape and murder
is happening as a consequence of thiscrisis. So we could be relatively sure
that a significant number of Chinese agentsare among that group. And that's going
(06:26):
to end badly unless we have apresident who will do something about it.
If Donald doesn't win in November.What's going on right now continues for another
four years. Is inflation not badenough? Right now? Is the immigration
crisis not bad enough? Are weexporting our blood and tears and money too
(06:46):
slowly for you? Look, Iknow you're upset because there's a binary choice.
What did South Park say? Italways comes down to a douche and
a turd sandwich. That's just thechoice that exists most of the time.
The truth is, in this case, Joe Biden is probably a bigger tird
sandwich than you ever thought he was. And Donald Trump isn't the big doucheit
you think he is. So whatare you all choosing? You're choosing to
(07:11):
abandon America. You're choosing to throwour country into the gutter. I'm not
asking you to like Trump. I'mjust asking you to vote for him.
You don't have to reward him,you don't have to high five him.
But ask yourself this, would yourather vote for a guy that you're indifferent
about? Maybe you feel a littledirty voting for him, or would you
(07:31):
like four more years of what's currentlygoing on? Kamala Harris deserves to be
vice president like Elvis deserved as blackbelt in karate. What a hunkah hunkah
burning crab. This is Kidny Webster'spursuit of happiness. Well, the world
(07:57):
is morning today. The news outof sports in Hollywood has devastated a nation
very sad to learn OJ Simpson hasdied at age seventy six, and so
we reached out to his number onefan, stand up comedian and musician Chad
Prather of the Blaze. But Chad, how are you holding up today?
I'm doing good. I heard thenews about Oj, and while I was
(08:20):
sad, I think his legal teamis still trying to deny it. That's
exactly right. You know, Imade this point before. I'm you know,
I wish no harm on the guy. I have no idea if he's
actually guilty or not, but probablyhe was right at the end of the
day. And some people have drawna line between OJ's death and then what
(08:41):
was not our OJ's wife's death andMichael Jordan's father. You know, there's
still people that think OJ was innocentand Tupac was killed by the FBI,
and Michael Jordan didn't pay his gamblingdebts. And I don't know if there's
any truth Daddy of that stuff.But I do love a good conspiracy theory,
Chad. I am a conspiracy theory. I think all of those things
are true. And listen, youknow what's funny is you know, you
(09:03):
remember last year when Ford came outwith that raptor that was wrapped in rainbow
colors commercial. Listen, the bestway Ford could redeem themselves is donate a
white Bronco hears for OJ's funeral procession, and they would totally redeem themselves.
No, I'm a conspiracy theorist.I still want to know what happened with
(09:24):
a little baggie. I want toknow what happened with a little baggy of
cocaine at the White House. Iwant to know about paulp. Loci.
I want to know about Epstein's Island. I need to know did he do
it? Did he did not doit? What did did he do?
Did did he did a little?So I need to know all these things.
I want to know too. AndI want to know if someone's going
to drive the white Ford Bronco hearstand now that it can't be Ann Hash
to let it be Caitlin Jenner.You know what I mean? You know
(09:48):
O J. Simpson and Bruce Jenner, two people that no longer exist?
How about that? Yeah, that'san interesting point. I hey, on
that note, this isn't what Iinvited you on to talk about. But
you mentioned the Pride rap forgot aboutthe Pride Raptor. I guess they're gonna
they're a fan made there's it's notcannon, which is what nerds call in
the comic book universe the official storyline. But I guess they're gonna do a
(10:11):
Joker movie where Joker is trans AndI didn't you know, I don't know.
I don't know that much about it, but I just feel like they
cannot make a blockbuster failure fast enough. Why are they so determined to make
movies nobody wants to see? Ithink they looked at the DC universe and
said, Okay, who do wealready know is good with makeup? And
they went with the joker, Andof course they're gonna make the clown the
(10:35):
trans So you know you can't makethis stuff? Uh, Chad, you
are like the quintessential Texan. Youdo stand up comedy to a mostly country
rural audience, you make country music, and you know you you live near
Dallas, right, so you mustknow this woman, Jasmine Crockett, the
Texas lawmaker. You and I weretalking off the air, and I joked
that she was the Shila Jackson Leeof Dallas. Jasmine does not think that
(10:58):
black people should have to pay taxes, but she says, since a lot
of black people already don't pay taxes, her words, not mine, we
should just give them money. Justthis past week, I saw I don't
remember which celebrity, but it wasactually a celebrity, and I was like,
I don't know that that's not necessarilya bad idea but I'd have to
think thou a lot. One ofthe things that they proposed is black folk
not have to pay taxes for acertain amount of time, because then again
(11:20):
that puts money back in your pocket. But at the same time, it
may not be as objectionable to somepeople about actually giving out dollars, but
obviously then you start dealing with thedifferent tax brackets and things like that.
And that's one of the reasons thatyou know, we argue that reparations makes
sense because so many black folk.Not only do you owe for the labor
(11:41):
that was stolen and killed and allthe other things, right, but the
fact is, like we end upbeing so far behind right, and so
it's like, how do you bringforce people exactly? And so it's like
if you if you do the notax thing for people that are already say
struggling and aren't really paying taxes inthe first place, it doesn't really exactly.
(12:03):
Maybe they may want those checks likethey got exerted exactly. Okay,
Yeah, they cannot make inflation happenfast enough, Chad. Yes, I
don't know if you looked at yourretirement fund, but I lost some money
yesterday because this inflation reported it soundslike they want more inflation, they want
more of it, and I meanthe di Biden administration pretends to be shocked
at the sector two and a halfpercent increase. But of course if you
(12:26):
ask Kamala Harris, she would saythat everything is just fine. You know
this right here when you listen toguys like oh, you listen to people
like this. And now she's acongressman and her biggest statement in there she
goes, I don't know, Iwould have to think that through. I
don't know that she is capable ofthinking anything through. Like literally, we're
dealing with an IQ deficit with whatshe just said, this is the equivalent,
(12:46):
almost the equivalent of Jamal Bowman whomister fire alarmed Jamal Bowman, Congressman
Jamal Bowman who said we're going toget fourteen trillion dollars in reparations by spending
our weight into it. So thistype of modern monetary theory I can't quite
get on board with, because Idon't know, are we gonna forfeit welfare
(13:09):
checks, stimulus checks? Are wegonna unemployment? Are we gonna forfeit Social
Security? Because again I seem tothink that there's a lot of people in
the black community that are already gettingthose things, and so now are you.
So basically, she's just suggesting atrade. We're gonna keep the money
we're making, but we're not gonnaget any in response from the government.
But I don't think that's what she'ssaying. She wants her cake and eat
(13:30):
it too. See. I feellike if black people don't have to pay
taxes, that's fine with me,as long as everybody else doesn't have to
pay it either. But it doesn'tsound like that's on the table, is
it. Well, my thing isthis, My ancestors were slaves. Your
ancestors were slaves. Sure, Imean, at some point in time,
do we all get reparations or canwe just all stop paying taxes? Now
you'd say, well, you aren'ta slave of the American You know you
(13:54):
are an American slavers, And Idon't know. I mean, my folks
came from pretty rural Mississippi. Theyknow they farmed themselves out to a lot
of different sharecroppers. So I've readmy grandfather's biography. I know there's a
lot of things he'd put himself through. So, I mean, am I
supposed to do that? Because ofthe atrocities he went through. And so
you know, at what stage inthe game are you are you going to
say, listen, this was thiswas two hundred years ago. Yes,
(14:16):
America has its sins, Yes America, but you can't you know, again,
the first the first black slave thatever stepped foot on American soil was
actually purchased and owned by a blackman. So I you know, again,
history is revised at this point.Nobody wants to talk about any of
that. Again, the white manis evil and you know, hey,
(14:39):
let's just quit pan taxes. Right, Yeah, I know, obviously we're
all evil, YadA, YadA YadA. Sorry about that, but uh I
do. I will make this pointabout the BLM movement, right, like
I'm skeptical of the government. Idon't trust the government, right and I
so that part of it I get. I don't you know that you know
that we're born victims. I don'tunderstand that. But the idea that the
government isn't necessarily our friend, Iagree with that. The thing that confuses
(15:01):
me in the so much about theBLM movement, all these politicians, whether
it's Jasmine Crockett or the guy runningagainst Ted Cruz, what's his name,
Colin Alred, also from your town, from Dallas up there. All these
people will tell you the government's evil. Cops are evil, but only cops
should have guns. In fact,Ted Cruz's opponent, Colin Alred, he's
a red flags guy. He wantsto red flag lawion. I mean,
(15:22):
how do they not see their ownhypocrisy, Chad. They never think these
things through. So when you talkabout gun grabs and gun control, you
know that's going to affect immediately andmost effectively, it's going to affect the
black community. So again, justlike typical KKK and Jim Crow democrats,
they want to make sure that theblack community is disarmed, but they don't
think through things like that. Theysay it and the people who are hearing
(15:43):
it, they think it's a goodidea. It's not a good idea.
So you think about you think throughall of these these different ideas that are
coming out. All they are isa dangling carrot. Okay, there's never
going to be enough reparations, they'renever going to be enough welfare. It's
not like you're gonna win the lottery. And by the way, you know,
I was a good friend of minewho's a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
(16:06):
I won't bring her name into it. She was at an event last week
with some some good Marxists like youknow, Kathleen Blovey Ford and ralphae Old
Warnock. It was a speaking eventand there was a gentleman on the stage
who said, here's what we've gotto do. If we want to get
crime out of our society, whatwe do is we give everyone a living
(16:26):
wage. And the place went wild, place went nuts over that idea.
Now, weapons if you go tothe casino and blow your living wage as
soon as you get it, likeyou get let's say you get a lump
sum at the beginning of the year, always supposed to give you another living
wage. I don't think they've thoughtinto the fact that there are millionaires and
billionaires for criminals too. They certainlyhave a limited living wage, so having
(16:47):
an income doesn't make crime go away. But through these things it's one big
dangling character. There's no welfare system, there's no reparation system, there's no
governmental benefit that's ever going to bringyou out of governmental dependence. Like you
said, I don't trust them either. I don't think the government loves me.
I think that I'm just I'm apawn and a puppet in the whole
(17:08):
cog of the machinery. But thething is, listen, I'll agree taxation
is theft. I mean we're beingI mean it's our forefathers would be stealing
tea in the harbor like they didin seventeen seventy three. If they were
lived they long ago, they'd havebeen stacked. But this is the system
we've chosen to live under, andthe people who benefit from it the most
are the ones who are saying nowthey don't want to pay in to it,
(17:30):
So what's it going to be?Yeah? Those are great points,
you know, Chad, For aguy that tells jokes and sings songs for
a living, you're pretty smart.It's ridiculous, how smart. And you
know what else? I got thenumber four song positive country radio charts.
I got the number four song inthe nation right now, I'm sorry,
number six, number six. I'mgetting ahead of myself. Well, number
one is ben a song called FamousAgain. We put it out last week.
(17:52):
It debuted at fourteen. It's alreadyat number six, so Famous Again.
Everybody needs to go wherever music isstreaming and check it out and grab
all right, So Chad pray Throughis the guest. If you don't recognize
his voice, he's on the lineright now. Chad is where are you
this weekend? You're in San Antonio. You're gonna be in Fredericksburg soon.

(19:22):
been on the road with me sincetwenty nineteen opening comedy shows. And I

A snail leaves its slime behind.You're listening to Kenny Webster. About
(20:18):
a week ago, Daniel Turner fromPower of the Future was on the show.
He's a very smart man, veryinteresting, and he brought something up
in passing that we didn't delve intotoo deeply, but I had some people
reach out to me and ask meabout it and what he talked about.
What he mentioned was that in themid twentieth century, the CIA got very
(20:40):
involved in what art was becoming popularin the western half of the world as
a means of stopping communism. Somepeople thought this wasn't true, and I
had a couple of people ask meif he was just talking out of you
know, out of his ass.For lack of a better term. Well,
as it turns out, it wastrue. I did a little digging
(21:00):
to try to get some of themore intricate details of this very bizarre phenomenon,
and what I came up with wasthis, It all started like this.
Can I get some proper music pleasefor talking about this? Hello,
maestro, spy music please? Yes, perfect, thank you. That's the
(21:23):
kind of spy music we're looking for. I mean we're talking about the CIA
here, guys. This is veryradical stuff. The Cold War actually had
a huge impact on what art becamepopular here in the United States. It
all started like this. It wasthe mid twentieth century. Modern art and
design at the time represented the liberalism, the individualism, the dynamic activity,
(21:47):
the creative risk possible in a freesociety. You had guys like Jackson Pollock,
you're familiar with the name. He'sgot a lot of his art right
here in Houston at an art gallerycalled the Manil Have you ever been there?
He drew a very effective counterpoint toNazism and then Soviet oppression. Modernism,
in fact, became a weapon ofthe Cold War. Both the State
Department and the CIA supported exhibitions ofAmerican art all over the world. It
(22:14):
goes like this. The preeminent culturalCold warrior was a guy named Thomas W.
Braden. This guy served as theMuseum of Modern Arts executive secretary from
nineteen forty eight to nineteen forty nine. They call it MoMA in New York
City. You probably knew that AndyWarhol spent a lot of time there,
but this was before Andy Warhol.This guy was in charge of one of
the biggest our museums in America andthen later on joined the CIA around nineteen
(22:40):
fifty to supervise what they described ascultural activities. Actually talked about this.
He talked about it in the SaturdayEvening Post titled I'm Glad the CIA is
immoral. It was an article thattalked about American art and how it won
more acclaim for America than Dwight D. Eisenhower could have bought with one hundred
(23:00):
speeches. It was actually in thearticle the relationship between modern art and American
diplomacy goes all the way back toWorld War II. At the time the
Museum of Modern Art MoMA was mobilizedfor war efforts. Unbelievable right. The
Museum of Modern Art was founded actuallyin the early twentieth century, right around
the end of the Roaring twenties bysomebody named Abbey Rockefeller. Yeah, that
(23:26):
Rockefeller. A decade later, herson Nelson, He became the president of
the museum. In nineteen forty,while he was still president of the Museum
of Modern Art, Nelson Rockefeller wasappointed to the Roosevelt administration's coordinator of inter
American Affairs. He even served asRoosevelt's Assistant Secretary of State in Latin America.
(23:47):
So the museum followed suit. TheMuseum of Modern Art fulfilled thirty eight
government contracts for cultural materials during theSecond World War and mounted nineteen exhibitions of
contemporary American paintings for the Coordinator's office, which were exhibited throughout Latin America.
This was pretty unusual stuff for thegovernment to get involved in at the time.
It was a battle for the heartsand minds, that was how they
(24:10):
described it. At the time ofthe modern world. Modern art was very
effective they thought. There was anotherpresident of MoMA and a member of the
art the Whitney family named John HayWhitney. He founded the Whitney Museum of
Art. Maybe you've heard of that. He once explained that art stood out
as a line of national defense becauseit could educate, inspire, and strengthen
the hearts and wills of free men. She's probably wondering, how did he
(24:33):
do all of this well? Asit turns out, in the nineties,
some former CIA officials admitted they hadused abstract art by people like Jackson Pollock
and others as an ideological weapon inthe Cold War. After World War Two,
the threat of communism was looming overEurope, and the United States wanted
to inoculate European intellectuals against it.A new form of warfare was emerging,
(24:56):
a war of ideas. The artsbecame a crucial battleground of this war.
The Communists wanted to prove that theywere the true inheritors of the European Enlightenment.
Enlightenment movement, that's easy for youto say, and that the US
was culturally barren. Think back tomid twentieth to early twentieth century Soviet art.
(25:17):
You've probably seen it before. TheSoviets had a confined view of what
art should be. They restricted artiststo painting in that style, something they
called socialist realism, and that datesall the way back to the nineteen thirties,
art became a tool for glorifying communistideals in proletarian life, so the
US wanted to counter that by provingit was a bastion of creative and intellectual
(25:40):
freedom. So they got behind itthe most deliberated art of the day,
abstract expressionism. This was the exactopposite of the rigidity of the Soviet art.
Instead of having very stylistic paintings thatlooked like something taken right out of
the real world as realistic as possible, they found painters that just threw paint
(26:02):
at the wall, you know,abstract art. In the nineteen fifties,
the CIA secretly funded a group calledthe Congress for Cultural Freedom. The Congress
for Cultural Freedom funneled money to internationalart shows and magazines, and they even
ran offices around the globe, allwith the explicit goal of promoting American abstract
expressionism really trippy looking, weird stuff. And mind you, this was before
(26:25):
the LSD movement. Now. Granted, some of the artists making this art
they might have been on psychedelics,but it's probably unlikely the CIA knew that
the art demonstrated that American painters werefree to invent and crucially offend, unlike
under tyranny, you know the Sovietswhere artists are made the slaves and tools
of the state. That was actuallyan exact quote from Eisenhower himself. As
(26:48):
it turns out, abstract art wasnot exactly popular with the American public at
the time. It was weird,it was confusing. I mean, today
you could go to the Manil ArtGallery here in Houston and look at paintings
by people like Rothko, where hejust is are we still playing spy music?
Is that this doesn't sound very spymusic? E to me? Can
I get something else? There wego? That's the kind of spy music
(27:11):
I wanted. You ever been tothe Manil and looked at Rothko's art?
It's so boring? I mean,I think so. And I've been a
member of the Fine Art Museum herein Houston ever since I moved here for
over a decade. Something you maynot know about me. I'm a big
fan of artwork, but one thingI hate is boring. Frankly, looking
(27:32):
back on how the CIA influenced allthis artwork, it kind of makes sense
because it wasn't very good. Soabstract art wasn't popular at the time.
Earlier and less secretive attempts to promotenew American art by the State Department had
been widely mocked. They'd tried thisbefore. Even President Truman famously said,
quote, if that's art, I'mhot and tat. He saw a painting
(27:53):
at an exhibit purchased by the StateDepartment. I don't know who Hot and
tot was? Some historic figure.I guess right, Wait a second,
who was hot and Toad? Wasthat like a celebrity or something? Anyway,
it doesn't matter. That's what hesaid, and he rarely ever gets
anything wrong. If anybody knows whohot in Todd is call the show.
Oh, I'm sorry. Hot andTodd is a term that was historically used
(28:15):
by Europeans to refer to it indigenouspeople. Oh, that reference went right
over my head. Anyway. Ironically, many of the avant garde art.
Avant guarde artists being promoted had tiesand sympathies to guess what communism? I
mean, of course they did.These were abstract artists from the mid twentieth
century. Do you think they lovedcapital? And no? It would have
(28:37):
been impossible to get support in Congressfor spending taxpayer money on these projects,
so the CIA's operation had to remainsuper secret. The plan worked. The
style was well received in Western Europe, and even infiltrated the Iron Curtain.
Eastern European artists became admirers and movedaway from socialist realism. It's inaccurate to
(29:00):
claim that abstract or modern art ingeneral was the creation of the CIA.
It was not. Representational art wasin steep decline before the nineteen fifties,
and American artists were eagerly following avantgarde movements from Europe. But with the
CIA's help, with the invisible handof the government, abstract impressionism, rejecting
(29:22):
the need for anything on the canvasto resemble anything in the real world,
became so widespread it was difficult forartists to find success working in any other
style. The great irony was that, in fighting the artistic restrictions of communists,
the CIA did something perhaps equally sinister, duping Americans to believe the abstract
(29:42):
phenomenon was an organic one, andby trying so hard to be unlike the
Soviets, they probably subverted the flourishingof truly American art. The realism of
Rockwell and Hopper and Wood was reflectingthe realities of American life well into the
twentieth century and might otherwise have carriedon and it was better art. You
remember the covers of The New Yorker, of course you do. Those were
(30:03):
moments that didn't seek to replicate orimpress people in Europe. They were simply
an intentionally American saw that being said, Remember, folks, if you ever
see an abstract painting in a museumand you think to yourself, wow,
this is really boring. In fact, it kind of sucks. Blame the
(30:23):
CIA, Screw you. I'm goingto Texas and thank our lucky stars.
Sorry, our lucky lone star wedid. This is Kitty Webster's pursuit of
happiness. Ain't no sunshine when she'sgo very sad news today, my friends,
(30:48):
it's not wong when she Here's whatI don't understand. How did O.
J. Simpson outlive Jimmy Carter.It's unbelievable. It is this a
spoiled papperd narciss to Hollywood bratt orwhat? Yes? O J. Simpson's
dead today. He could outrun thepolice in a white Ford Bronco, but
(31:11):
he couldn't outrun cancer. Apparently thishas captivated a nation. The convicted felon,
dominant running back Hollywood star Heart's rentalcar spokesperson is dead at age seventy
six, and I'm sure nobody ismore upset today about the news than his
daughter. Chloe Kardashian Here with somecommentary. Stand up comedian Tim mathis,
(31:33):
Hello, Tim. Yeah, somesay we shouldn't make jokes about OJ Simpson,
but I'd still like to take astab at it. Haha. I'm
just excited for Norm McDonald because he'sbeen what he's been in the afterlife for
about two three years something like that. He has just been working tirelessly on
(31:56):
new OJ Simpson roast jokes. SoI figure that let OJ up in heaven
for about two or three hours andjust let Norm roast the hell out of
him and then send him where hebelongs after Ronald Goldman gets to kick him
in the mads. You know what'ssad about his death is he'll never get
to find out who murdered his wife. Yeah, that's tough, right.
(32:17):
I guess that's just lost to theether. Yeah exactly, Yeah, and
cancer murdered OJE. Granted we allknow who did it. I have an
advertiser and a guy that used toadvertise on the show. Once. He
and I once went out to lunch, real smart guy, very conservative,
and he started telling me why hethought OJ was innocent. And after he
(32:38):
talked for about forty minutes on howOj Simpson had gambling debts he never paid
and kind of like how Michael Jordan'sdad was murdered. Maybe Oj actually wasn't
the killer, it was the mobkilling him because he didn't pay his gambling
debts. I am almost convinced thatthere could be something to that theory.
I mean anything, it's possible atthis point. You know, like I've
(33:01):
told people, I didn't believe thewhole Epstein stuff fifteen years ago, but
now I'm open to a lot ofconspiracy theories. So I wouldn't put it
past obviously the mob doing something likethat. But I mean, there's just
so much evidence. I don't know. I'd have to go back and rewatch
that whole trial and everything, andI just don't have it in me.
(33:21):
Yeah, with OJ Simpson dead,now this begs the question where will Kato
Kalen live? Well, the goodnews is, I mean in La there's
always a couch to crash on aslong as you know you're willing to look
the other way on a double homeside. Yeah. O J. Simpson
died doing what he loved the most, spending time with a dying person.
(33:46):
Anyway, all the O. J. Simpson news related to there's really not
much else to say about it.He's dead and we can all get out
our one liners or whatever. Butpeople are alive, believe it or not.
And last night different hollywo with celebritiesgathered together at the White House for
the State dinner. And I don'tknow how many people looked at this,
but Jeff Bezos was there with hiswife, his second wife, you know,
(34:08):
he got divorced. So he's withthis woman who was a Mexican weather
lady or something. And I don'tknow if you saw it, Tim,
but she was wearing a booby dress. She had her jugs hanging out,
and some people thought that was inappropriate. But isn't that really the only reason
why she was even invited to thedinner. I'm sure Bill Clinton didn't mine,
so she might have been a littleover age for him. Yeah,
(34:31):
but yeah, no Jeff Bezos bringingaround the hotties, I guess is if
you're going to be a billionaire,you might as well flaunt it. So
I don't know. I wasn't there. I don't get invited to the White
House state dinner, but maybe somethingI will go attend is this boxing match
coming up at the beginning of thesummer. Everybody's talking about this another another
(34:52):
black man from the nineties who spenta little time in prison, Mike Tyson
is going to box Jake Paul.Do you For those who don't know,
Jake Paul's a young kid. He'sa blonde kid who got famous doing silly
dances on YouTube. And some peopleare trying to figure out if this is
a real boxing match or just afake exhibition. What's your take on that.
(35:15):
I am excited to hopefully see JakePaul get knocked out. Now,
I don't know if that can happenwith Mike being ouse. Is Mike fifty
eight? Yeah, he's almost sixtyright, Ye, he's almost sixty.
Yeah, But they say power isthe last thing to go, so I
think everybody is behind Mike Tyson here. I don't know of anybody who wants
(35:38):
to see Jake Paul win this fight, So hopefully it's not fixed. There's
been a lot of accusations of theseJake Paul celebrity boxing matches being fixed.
So hopefully they let Mike go allout, and if he can get him
in the first two rounds, Ithink he's got a shot to finally end
this plague of Jake Paul trying tobe a boxer. Right, and so,
(36:01):
Jake Paul has been boxing now forfour years and Mike Tyson's considered to
be the greatest living boxer. Idon't like Jake Paul. I don't think
most people do, but you've gotto admit he has I mean, his
grift is on point. The guyfigured out how to talk his way into
a boxing ring with Mike Tyson.The question is, if it is a
real boxing match, even at agefifty eight, how does Mike Tyson not
(36:23):
murder this guy? Yeah, Imean, but I have seen this Jake
Paul guy hang with a couple ofpeople, so you never know. Plus,
like I said, there's a lotof rumors about these things being fixed,
such as you know, you can'tthrow certain punches, you can't do
certain things in the ring. Sowe'll see how it goes. I mean,
(36:45):
I'm not going to pay for it. Only a sucker would pay for
these fights. Anybody out there who'spaying for it, you are a sucker,
right. But we'll see how itgoes. It'll be on Twitter fifteen
seconds after the fight's over, sohopefully we'll get to see Jake Paul get
knocked out in the first couple arounds. Yeah, something to be said
about that, I wonder. Soif you don't want to pay for it,
(37:07):
what do you do? Go toBuffalo Wild Wings or something? Oh?
Yeah, I mean you can goat any reputable sports bar and check
it out. I know some peoplepirate it, which I'm not saying to
do that, but yeah, youcan always watch these things free. Yeah.
Hey, you're a comedian, youknow Michael ian Black. I think
he used to be on the Stateand a bunch of other shows. He
(37:30):
said he might leave the United Stateseven if Trump loses the election this year.
He said, ask not what yourcountry can do for you? Ask?
Oh that was JFK. Sorry,there's a weird quote in the article.
He said. The fact is mostof us are here by happenstance.
We found ourselves pushed into a worldneither of our making nor of our choosing.
He said, I don't like Trump. I don't want to live in
(37:50):
Trump's America. I'm paraphrasing here,but even if he wins, I'd still
like to get out of the country. Why don't these people just do it?
Why do they spend so much timetalking about this. I remember in
twenty seven so many Hollywood celebrities,Robert de Niro, Miley Cyrus, they
all promised to leave, and yetnone of them did. Yeah, it's
like they don't know. You canjust leave anytime. There's a good quote
(38:14):
from the Old Rick and Morty Showwhere one of the characters goes to leave
a facility that he season and theysay, yeah, that was always allowed.
You can always leave. Michael IatanBlack hasn't been relevant in at least
fifteen years. I mean, theonly thing I know him from is his
little douchey tweets that he puts outsometimes. But I mean, the guy's
(38:37):
completely irrelevant. He blocked Yeah,noon, he blocked me a long time
ago. I forgot. I mean, he blocked me a long time ago
for making a joke about how hewas on a book tour with Megan McCain
and I suggested that the two ofthem were being intimate. I don't even
it was like twenty twelve. Itwas years ago, and right up until
you said that, I forgot hewas even on Twitter. Yeah, I
(38:57):
mean, if you're going to beintimate with Megan McCain, bring a back
brace because that's a big lady.And hey, who knows you might end
up in some kind of Third Worldwar because that's just the McCain lay.
But yeah, Michael ian Black completelyirrelevant. If he left tomorrow, nobody
would even notice, except for thefact that he would let everybody know.
So just shut up and do it. Michael Well, speaking of people that
(39:22):
look like Megan McCain. Country musicstar and rapper Jelly Roll is all over
the news today, fresh off winninga bunch of CMT awards. He was
doing an interview the other day.He said that he had an opportunity to
hang out with puff Daddy, buthe turned it down. Apparently, the
story goes, he, you know, didn't feel like puff Daddy was a
guy he'd want to go meet andhang out with. What do you think
about this? I what is whatis a jelly Roll? I am I
(39:46):
am not familiar with this, Ohjelly role you don't know. He's huge
and he's really popular too. JYeah, he is huge. I just
googled him. He is a verylarge man. He got speaking of Megan
McCain. Geez right, it's MeghanMcCain with face tattoos. Jelly All said
(40:07):
he got much. He got nervousabout the meeting after he cracked a joke
about P Diddy orchestrating the killing ofTupac. Little did he know that P
Diddy was basically the black Jeffrey Epstein, I don't think people realize that at
the time. Yeah, it's it'swild. The whole P Diddy thing.
Is he even arrested yet? Ihaven't even Uh, I haven't. I
(40:29):
haven't caught up to that. Maybethe FBI hadn't caught up to him either,
But yeah, he uh, thewhole P Diddy thing is really wild.
Wouldn't be surprised if all the allegationsare true. Like I said,
at this point in time, ifif somebody makes an allegation, no matter
how wild it is, I haveto at least give it freed. Yeah.
Interestingly enough, as much as everybodywas talking about puff Daddy last week,
(40:53):
now suddenly he's kind of found hisway out of the news cycle.
Another thing people aren't talking about anymore, Haiti. He was all over the
news a little over a week agoa gangbanger cannibal named barbecue took over the
island and now Americans just got boredwith this. Yeah, I mean,
out of side, out of mind. And apparently the Clintons can't make any
(41:15):
money off of it this time,so our politicians aren't worried about it.
It's it's really crazy, but hey, if you're going to have a cannibal
in charge, at least it's somebodywho likes barbecue. You don't want to
have like a sushi cannibal or somethinglike that. You want to have it
properly cooked and properly marinated. Thatis a very good point. Yeah,
there's no human flesh is only palatableunder certain circumstances, so barbecue would be
(41:38):
the way to go. I thinkabsolutely on that note. Follow my buddy

so don't be surprised if you seeTaylor Swift taking Travis Kelcey for a
walk. It's true. Kids.Hi, thanks for turning on your radio.
I'm Kenny Webster. Every afternoon fromthree to four pm you can hear
this radio show. It's a sortof a spin off of our morning show,
The Walton Johnson Show, and Ilove having you here, so thanks
for tuning in today. We havea lot of very funny people on the
(00:47):
show. Chad Prather is going tobe here. You might know him from
Blaze TV. He's a stand upcomedian. He's a musician. He tours
around the country telling jokes, singingsongs, and he's stopping buying just a
little bit. Also stopping by theshow today. Tim mathis stand up comedian
one of the guys that helped mecreate Operation Comedy Therapy. We throw the
(01:07):
occasional charity comedy show to raise moneyfor wheelchairs for Warriors dot Org. And
it's not necessarily what we're talking abouttoday, but we're going to take a
trip to Hollywood and beyond, ashe joins me, the big story today.
Everybody's blown away by this. O. J. Simpson has died.
I know you're very sad about that. You are. But even though that's
what everybody's going to talk about todayon cable news and talk radio all day,
(01:33):
because the media is obsessed with agood scandal, it doesn't actually matter.
I mean, of course it doesn'tmatter. What matters is the election
in November. What matters is multiplewars happening around the world. What happens
at our border matters because the immigrationcrisis in this country is radically transforming us
into a different place than the placethat we used to be. The inflation
(02:00):
this week probably sodomized your retirement account, for lack of a better term,
very sad news. What's going onwith the economy. I mean, we
all knew that was inevitable. Butif you're new to the radio show and
you don't know much about me otherthan that I'm the co host of a
popular morning show. Hi, I'mKenny Webster. I'm a liberty Republican.
(02:22):
I was part of the Ron Paulpolitical movement when I was a young man,
and I did comedy on the radioand a radio show in Chicago called
The Man Cow Show, and itended up pushing me here to Texas years
later, where I would like tobelieve I'm principled, but I'm also pragmatic.
And I say all that to makethis point as a liberty Republican,
(02:43):
as a lowercase al libertarian, there'snothing that is as bad for the libertarian
movement than other libertarians. Libertarians arethe most self destructive people in politics.
They have great ideas, they havethe worst messa. They over focus on
issues that don't matter. Libertarians willspend lots of time telling you we need
(03:06):
to lower the age of consent.Why, why do you need to Why
is that important to you. Libertarianswill spend lots of time telling you we
should get rid of driver's licenses,as if that's the biggest problem we have
being required to show an ID whenyou drive a car. And the libertarian's
favorite thing to do is to tellother libertarians that they're not libertarian enough.
(03:29):
Well, this week, conservatives tooka page out of the libertarian playbook,
telling other Republicans that Donald Trump's stanceon abortion is not conservative enough. He
came out earlier this week in favorof states rights, and I gotta think
there's and I know it sucks tohear this. If you're pro life and
you don't like Trump, I gotto think there is no living president that
(03:50):
has done more for the pro lifemovement than Donald Trump. If he's not
good enough for you, then whatexactly is the standard? Kurt Schlichter,
a friend of the show author attownhall dot com, recently said to the
never trumpers, it's time to putaside your fussy principles about how ikey you
think Donald Trump is. And he'sright. Look, this is serious.
(04:13):
Right now. We need all handson deck. Things are getting bad in
America. I get that you don'tlike Trump. Let's agree that he's ikey
for the purposes of that discussion.Fine, Trump's ikey. Okay, his
tweets were mean, He's not aconservative ideologue. He says silly things.
He starts fights with people on socialmedia, and you think that's annoying.
(04:35):
Okay, let's agree that that's alltrue. Let's agree that in normal times,
one might want to forego supporting aguy like that. Here's the problem,
guys, it ain't normal times.There's nothing normal about what's going on
right now. Things have changed alot over the last several years. This
is life and death, not justfor cops or soldiers or border patrol agents,
(04:58):
but maybe even for you and meand our family. Look, you,
guys, know there are treacherous weirdoswho sit around all day watching MSNBC
sending their children to drag queen shows. I don't think you and I could
do anything to save them. Butif you're one of those never Trump Republicans,
one of those neo cons, oneof those hardline you're a conservative,
(05:23):
but you're not the current brand ofconservative. You're the guy who's having difficulty
making the leap and backing Trump twopoint zero. Some of you might not
be, but I know there's alot of you out there. There's a
performative aspect to not backing Donald Trump. You dug in against him, and
(05:43):
digging yourself out and publicly changing yourmind can be tough. I get that,
But when facts change, choices needto change, and boy have facts
changed. Let's look at where ourcountry is right now. America is in
a hole. Joe Biden is diggingus deeper into the hole. We have
a wide open border. Fentnyl iskilling tens of thousands of Americans a year.
(06:06):
Tens of millions of illegals just streamedinto the country. We know that
a large enough portion of them arecriminals that it's concerning. Rape and murder
is happening as a consequence of thiscrisis. So we could be relatively sure
that a significant number of Chinese agentsare among that group. And that's going
(06:26):
to end badly unless we have apresident who will do something about it.
If Donald doesn't win in November.What's going on right now continues for another
four years. Is inflation not badenough? Right now? Is the immigration
crisis not bad enough? Are weexporting our blood and tears and money too
(06:46):
slowly for you? Look, Iknow you're upset because there's a binary choice.
What did South Park say? Italways comes down to a douche and
a turd sandwich. That's just thechoice that exists most of the time.
The truth is, in this case, Joe Biden is probably a bigger tird
sandwich than you ever thought he was. And Donald Trump isn't the big doucheit
you think he is. So whatare you all choosing? You're choosing to
(07:11):
abandon America. You're choosing to throwour country into the gutter. I'm not
asking you to like Trump. I'mjust asking you to vote for him.
You don't have to reward him,you don't have to high five him.
But ask yourself this, would yourather vote for a guy that you're indifferent
about? Maybe you feel a littledirty voting for him, or would you
(07:31):
like four more years of what's currentlygoing on? Kamala Harris deserves to be
vice president like Elvis deserved as blackbelt in karate. What a hunkah hunkah
burning crab. This is Kidny Webster'spursuit of happiness. Well, the world
(07:57):
is morning today. The news outof sports in Hollywood has devastated a nation
very sad to learn OJ Simpson hasdied at age seventy six, and so
we reached out to his number onefan, stand up comedian and musician Chad
Prather of the Blaze. But Chad, how are you holding up today?
I'm doing good. I heard thenews about Oj, and while I was
(08:20):
sad, I think his legal teamis still trying to deny it. That's
exactly right. You know, Imade this point before. I'm you know,
I wish no harm on the guy. I have no idea if he's
actually guilty or not, but probablyhe was right at the end of the
day. And some people have drawna line between OJ's death and then what
(08:41):
was not our OJ's wife's death andMichael Jordan's father. You know, there's
still people that think OJ was innocentand Tupac was killed by the FBI,
and Michael Jordan didn't pay his gamblingdebts. And I don't know if there's
any truth Daddy of that stuff.But I do love a good conspiracy theory,
Chad. I am a conspiracy theory. I think all of those things
are true. And listen, youknow what's funny is you know, you
(09:03):
remember last year when Ford came outwith that raptor that was wrapped in rainbow
colors commercial. Listen, the bestway Ford could redeem themselves is donate a
white Bronco hears for OJ's funeral procession, and they would totally redeem themselves.
No, I'm a conspiracy theorist.I still want to know what happened with
(09:24):
a little baggie. I want toknow what happened with a little baggy of
cocaine at the White House. Iwant to know about paulp. Loci.
I want to know about Epstein's Island. I need to know did he do
it? Did he did not doit? What did did he do?
Did did he did a little?So I need to know all these things.
I want to know too. AndI want to know if someone's going
to drive the white Ford Bronco hearstand now that it can't be Ann Hash
to let it be Caitlin Jenner.You know what I mean? You know
(09:48):
O J. Simpson and Bruce Jenner, two people that no longer exist?
How about that? Yeah, that'san interesting point. I hey, on
that note, this isn't what Iinvited you on to talk about. But
you mentioned the Pride rap forgot aboutthe Pride Raptor. I guess they're gonna
they're a fan made there's it's notcannon, which is what nerds call in
the comic book universe the official storyline. But I guess they're gonna do a
(10:11):
Joker movie where Joker is trans AndI didn't you know, I don't know.
I don't know that much about it, but I just feel like they
cannot make a blockbuster failure fast enough. Why are they so determined to make
movies nobody wants to see? Ithink they looked at the DC universe and
said, Okay, who do wealready know is good with makeup? And
they went with the joker, Andof course they're gonna make the clown the
(10:35):
trans So you know you can't makethis stuff? Uh, Chad, you
are like the quintessential Texan. Youdo stand up comedy to a mostly country
rural audience, you make country music, and you know you you live near
Dallas, right, so you mustknow this woman, Jasmine Crockett, the
Texas lawmaker. You and I weretalking off the air, and I joked
that she was the Shila Jackson Leeof Dallas. Jasmine does not think that
(10:58):
black people should have to pay taxes, but she says, since a lot
of black people already don't pay taxes, her words, not mine, we
should just give them money. Justthis past week, I saw I don't
remember which celebrity, but it wasactually a celebrity, and I was like,
I don't know that that's not necessarilya bad idea but I'd have to
think thou a lot. One ofthe things that they proposed is black folk
not have to pay taxes for acertain amount of time, because then again
(11:20):
that puts money back in your pocket. But at the same time, it
may not be as objectionable to somepeople about actually giving out dollars, but
obviously then you start dealing with thedifferent tax brackets and things like that.
And that's one of the reasons thatyou know, we argue that reparations makes
sense because so many black folk.Not only do you owe for the labor
(11:41):
that was stolen and killed and allthe other things, right, but the
fact is, like we end upbeing so far behind right, and so
it's like, how do you bringforce people exactly? And so it's like
if you if you do the notax thing for people that are already say
struggling and aren't really paying taxes inthe first place, it doesn't really exactly.
(12:03):
Maybe they may want those checks likethey got exerted exactly. Okay,
Yeah, they cannot make inflation happenfast enough, Chad. Yes, I
don't know if you looked at yourretirement fund, but I lost some money
yesterday because this inflation reported it soundslike they want more inflation, they want
more of it, and I meanthe di Biden administration pretends to be shocked
at the sector two and a halfpercent increase. But of course if you
(12:26):
ask Kamala Harris, she would saythat everything is just fine. You know
this right here when you listen toguys like oh, you listen to people
like this. And now she's acongressman and her biggest statement in there she
goes, I don't know, Iwould have to think that through. I
don't know that she is capable ofthinking anything through. Like literally, we're
dealing with an IQ deficit with whatshe just said, this is the equivalent,
(12:46):
almost the equivalent of Jamal Bowman whomister fire alarmed Jamal Bowman, Congressman
Jamal Bowman who said we're going toget fourteen trillion dollars in reparations by spending
our weight into it. So thistype of modern monetary theory I can't quite
get on board with, because Idon't know, are we gonna forfeit welfare
(13:09):
checks, stimulus checks? Are wegonna unemployment? Are we gonna forfeit Social
Security? Because again I seem tothink that there's a lot of people in
the black community that are already gettingthose things, and so now are you.
So basically, she's just suggesting atrade. We're gonna keep the money
we're making, but we're not gonnaget any in response from the government.
But I don't think that's what she'ssaying. She wants her cake and eat
(13:30):
it too. See. I feellike if black people don't have to pay
taxes, that's fine with me,as long as everybody else doesn't have to
pay it either. But it doesn'tsound like that's on the table, is
it. Well, my thing isthis, My ancestors were slaves. Your
ancestors were slaves. Sure, Imean, at some point in time,
do we all get reparations or canwe just all stop paying taxes? Now
you'd say, well, you aren'ta slave of the American You know you
(13:54):
are an American slavers, And Idon't know. I mean, my folks
came from pretty rural Mississippi. Theyknow they farmed themselves out to a lot
of different sharecroppers. So I've readmy grandfather's biography. I know there's a
lot of things he'd put himself through. So, I mean, am I
supposed to do that? Because ofthe atrocities he went through. And so
you know, at what stage inthe game are you are you going to
say, listen, this was thiswas two hundred years ago. Yes,
(14:16):
America has its sins, Yes America, but you can't you know, again,
the first the first black slave thatever stepped foot on American soil was
actually purchased and owned by a blackman. So I you know, again,
history is revised at this point.Nobody wants to talk about any of
that. Again, the white manis evil and you know, hey,
(14:39):
let's just quit pan taxes. Right, Yeah, I know, obviously we're
all evil, YadA, YadA YadA. Sorry about that, but uh I
do. I will make this pointabout the BLM movement, right, like
I'm skeptical of the government. Idon't trust the government, right and I
so that part of it I get. I don't you know that you know
that we're born victims. I don'tunderstand that. But the idea that the
government isn't necessarily our friend, Iagree with that. The thing that confuses
(15:01):
me in the so much about theBLM movement, all these politicians, whether
it's Jasmine Crockett or the guy runningagainst Ted Cruz, what's his name,
Colin Alred, also from your town, from Dallas up there. All these
people will tell you the government's evil. Cops are evil, but only cops
should have guns. In fact,Ted Cruz's opponent, Colin Alred, he's
a red flags guy. He wantsto red flag lawion. I mean,
(15:22):
how do they not see their ownhypocrisy, Chad. They never think these
things through. So when you talkabout gun grabs and gun control, you
know that's going to affect immediately andmost effectively, it's going to affect the
black community. So again, justlike typical KKK and Jim Crow democrats,
they want to make sure that theblack community is disarmed, but they don't
think through things like that. Theysay it and the people who are hearing
(15:43):
it, they think it's a goodidea. It's not a good idea.
So you think about you think throughall of these these different ideas that are
coming out. All they are isa dangling carrot. Okay, there's never
going to be enough reparations, they'renever going to be enough welfare. It's
not like you're gonna win the lottery. And by the way, you know,
I was a good friend of minewho's a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
(16:06):
I won't bring her name into it. She was at an event last week
with some some good Marxists like youknow, Kathleen Blovey Ford and ralphae Old
Warnock. It was a speaking eventand there was a gentleman on the stage
who said, here's what we've gotto do. If we want to get
crime out of our society, whatwe do is we give everyone a living
(16:26):
wage. And the place went wild, place went nuts over that idea.
Now, weapons if you go tothe casino and blow your living wage as
soon as you get it, likeyou get let's say you get a lump
sum at the beginning of the year, always supposed to give you another living
wage. I don't think they've thoughtinto the fact that there are millionaires and
billionaires for criminals too. They certainlyhave a limited living wage, so having
(16:47):
an income doesn't make crime go away. But through these things it's one big
dangling character. There's no welfare system, there's no reparation system, there's no
governmental benefit that's ever going to bringyou out of governmental dependence. Like you
said, I don't trust them either. I don't think the government loves me.
I think that I'm just I'm apawn and a puppet in the whole
(17:08):
cog of the machinery. But thething is, listen, I'll agree taxation
is theft. I mean we're beingI mean it's our forefathers would be stealing
tea in the harbor like they didin seventeen seventy three. If they were
lived they long ago, they'd havebeen stacked. But this is the system
we've chosen to live under, andthe people who benefit from it the most
are the ones who are saying nowthey don't want to pay in to it,
(17:30):
So what's it going to be?Yeah? Those are great points,
you know, Chad, For aguy that tells jokes and sings songs for
a living, you're pretty smart.It's ridiculous, how smart. And you
know what else? I got thenumber four song positive country radio charts.
I got the number four song inthe nation right now, I'm sorry,
number six, number six. I'mgetting ahead of myself. Well, number
one is ben a song called FamousAgain. We put it out last week.
(17:52):
It debuted at fourteen. It's alreadyat number six, so Famous Again.
Everybody needs to go wherever music isstreaming and check it out and grab
all right, So Chad pray Throughis the guest. If you don't recognize
his voice, he's on the lineright now. Chad is where are you
this weekend? You're in San Antonio. You're gonna be in Fredericksburg soon.
You got shows coming up in tomBall. I mean, we got listeners

want to go see some of theseshows, and you can get a list
of them at Watchchad dot com.Yeah, that's the spot, that's the
one stop shop, that's the mostvain url out there on the internet.
Watch Chad. It almost sounds likean onlyfan site. But if they'll go
there, they'll see that we're almostSan Antonio, just like I'm almost number

He's in San Antonio, Curve.Just go look at Watchchad dot com quick
break. I'll be right back.The difference between a politician and a snail.
A snail leaves its slime behind.You're listening to Kenny Webster. About
(20:18):
a week ago, Daniel Turner fromPower of the Future was on the show.
He's a very smart man, veryinteresting, and he brought something up
in passing that we didn't delve intotoo deeply, but I had some people
reach out to me and ask meabout it and what he talked about.
What he mentioned was that in themid twentieth century, the CIA got very
(20:40):
involved in what art was becoming popularin the western half of the world as
a means of stopping communism. Somepeople thought this wasn't true, and I
had a couple of people ask meif he was just talking out of you
know, out of his ass.For lack of a better term. Well,
as it turns out, it wastrue. I did a little digging
(21:00):
to try to get some of themore intricate details of this very bizarre phenomenon,
and what I came up with wasthis, It all started like this.
Can I get some proper music pleasefor talking about this? Hello,
maestro, spy music please? Yes, perfect, thank you. That's the
(21:23):
kind of spy music we're looking for. I mean we're talking about the CIA
here, guys. This is veryradical stuff. The Cold War actually had
a huge impact on what art becamepopular here in the United States. It
all started like this. It wasthe mid twentieth century. Modern art and
design at the time represented the liberalism, the individualism, the dynamic activity,
(21:47):
the creative risk possible in a freesociety. You had guys like Jackson Pollock,
you're familiar with the name. He'sgot a lot of his art right
here in Houston at an art gallerycalled the Manil Have you ever been there?
He drew a very effective counterpoint toNazism and then Soviet oppression. Modernism,
in fact, became a weapon ofthe Cold War. Both the State
Department and the CIA supported exhibitions ofAmerican art all over the world. It
(22:14):
goes like this. The preeminent culturalCold warrior was a guy named Thomas W.
Braden. This guy served as theMuseum of Modern Arts executive secretary from
nineteen forty eight to nineteen forty nine. They call it MoMA in New York
City. You probably knew that AndyWarhol spent a lot of time there,
but this was before Andy Warhol.This guy was in charge of one of
the biggest our museums in America andthen later on joined the CIA around nineteen
(22:40):
fifty to supervise what they described ascultural activities. Actually talked about this.
He talked about it in the SaturdayEvening Post titled I'm Glad the CIA is
immoral. It was an article thattalked about American art and how it won
more acclaim for America than Dwight D. Eisenhower could have bought with one hundred
(23:00):
speeches. It was actually in thearticle the relationship between modern art and American
diplomacy goes all the way back toWorld War II. At the time the
Museum of Modern Art MoMA was mobilizedfor war efforts. Unbelievable right. The
Museum of Modern Art was founded actuallyin the early twentieth century, right around
the end of the Roaring twenties bysomebody named Abbey Rockefeller. Yeah, that
(23:26):
Rockefeller. A decade later, herson Nelson, He became the president of
the museum. In nineteen forty,while he was still president of the Museum
of Modern Art, Nelson Rockefeller wasappointed to the Roosevelt administration's coordinator of inter
American Affairs. He even served asRoosevelt's Assistant Secretary of State in Latin America.
(23:47):
So the museum followed suit. TheMuseum of Modern Art fulfilled thirty eight
government contracts for cultural materials during theSecond World War and mounted nineteen exhibitions of
contemporary American paintings for the Coordinator's office, which were exhibited throughout Latin America.
This was pretty unusual stuff for thegovernment to get involved in at the time.
It was a battle for the heartsand minds, that was how they
(24:10):
described it. At the time ofthe modern world. Modern art was very
effective they thought. There was anotherpresident of MoMA and a member of the
art the Whitney family named John HayWhitney. He founded the Whitney Museum of
Art. Maybe you've heard of that. He once explained that art stood out
as a line of national defense becauseit could educate, inspire, and strengthen
the hearts and wills of free men. She's probably wondering, how did he
(24:33):
do all of this well? Asit turns out, in the nineties,
some former CIA officials admitted they hadused abstract art by people like Jackson Pollock
and others as an ideological weapon inthe Cold War. After World War Two,
the threat of communism was looming overEurope, and the United States wanted
to inoculate European intellectuals against it.A new form of warfare was emerging,
(24:56):
a war of ideas. The artsbecame a crucial battleground of this war.
The Communists wanted to prove that theywere the true inheritors of the European Enlightenment.
Enlightenment movement, that's easy for youto say, and that the US
was culturally barren. Think back tomid twentieth to early twentieth century Soviet art.
(25:17):
You've probably seen it before. TheSoviets had a confined view of what
art should be. They restricted artiststo painting in that style, something they
called socialist realism, and that datesall the way back to the nineteen thirties,
art became a tool for glorifying communistideals in proletarian life, so the
US wanted to counter that by provingit was a bastion of creative and intellectual
(25:40):
freedom. So they got behind itthe most deliberated art of the day,
abstract expressionism. This was the exactopposite of the rigidity of the Soviet art.
Instead of having very stylistic paintings thatlooked like something taken right out of
the real world as realistic as possible, they found painters that just threw paint
(26:02):
at the wall, you know,abstract art. In the nineteen fifties,
the CIA secretly funded a group calledthe Congress for Cultural Freedom. The Congress
for Cultural Freedom funneled money to internationalart shows and magazines, and they even
ran offices around the globe, allwith the explicit goal of promoting American abstract
expressionism really trippy looking, weird stuff. And mind you, this was before
(26:25):
the LSD movement. Now. Granted, some of the artists making this art
they might have been on psychedelics,but it's probably unlikely the CIA knew that
the art demonstrated that American painters werefree to invent and crucially offend, unlike
under tyranny, you know the Sovietswhere artists are made the slaves and tools
of the state. That was actuallyan exact quote from Eisenhower himself. As
(26:48):
it turns out, abstract art wasnot exactly popular with the American public at
the time. It was weird,it was confusing. I mean, today
you could go to the Manil ArtGallery here in Houston and look at paintings
by people like Rothko, where hejust is are we still playing spy music?
Is that this doesn't sound very spymusic? E to me? Can
I get something else? There wego? That's the kind of spy music
(27:11):
I wanted. You ever been tothe Manil and looked at Rothko's art?
It's so boring? I mean,I think so. And I've been a
member of the Fine Art Museum herein Houston ever since I moved here for
over a decade. Something you maynot know about me. I'm a big
fan of artwork, but one thingI hate is boring. Frankly, looking
(27:32):
back on how the CIA influenced allthis artwork, it kind of makes sense
because it wasn't very good. Soabstract art wasn't popular at the time.
Earlier and less secretive attempts to promotenew American art by the State Department had
been widely mocked. They'd tried thisbefore. Even President Truman famously said,
quote, if that's art, I'mhot and tat. He saw a painting
(27:53):
at an exhibit purchased by the StateDepartment. I don't know who Hot and
tot was? Some historic figure.I guess right, Wait a second,
who was hot and Toad? Wasthat like a celebrity or something? Anyway,
it doesn't matter. That's what hesaid, and he rarely ever gets
anything wrong. If anybody knows whohot in Todd is call the show.
Oh, I'm sorry. Hot andTodd is a term that was historically used
(28:15):
by Europeans to refer to it indigenouspeople. Oh, that reference went right
over my head. Anyway. Ironically, many of the avant garde art.
Avant guarde artists being promoted had tiesand sympathies to guess what communism? I
mean, of course they did.These were abstract artists from the mid twentieth
century. Do you think they lovedcapital? And no? It would have
(28:37):
been impossible to get support in Congressfor spending taxpayer money on these projects,
so the CIA's operation had to remainsuper secret. The plan worked. The
style was well received in Western Europe, and even infiltrated the Iron Curtain.
Eastern European artists became admirers and movedaway from socialist realism. It's inaccurate to
(29:00):
claim that abstract or modern art ingeneral was the creation of the CIA.
It was not. Representational art wasin steep decline before the nineteen fifties,
and American artists were eagerly following avantgarde movements from Europe. But with the
CIA's help, with the invisible handof the government, abstract impressionism, rejecting
(29:22):
the need for anything on the canvasto resemble anything in the real world,
became so widespread it was difficult forartists to find success working in any other
style. The great irony was that, in fighting the artistic restrictions of communists,
the CIA did something perhaps equally sinister, duping Americans to believe the abstract
(29:42):
phenomenon was an organic one, andby trying so hard to be unlike the
Soviets, they probably subverted the flourishingof truly American art. The realism of
Rockwell and Hopper and Wood was reflectingthe realities of American life well into the
twentieth century and might otherwise have carriedon and it was better art. You
remember the covers of The New Yorker, of course you do. Those were
(30:03):
moments that didn't seek to replicate orimpress people in Europe. They were simply
an intentionally American saw that being said, Remember, folks, if you ever
see an abstract painting in a museumand you think to yourself, wow,
this is really boring. In fact, it kind of sucks. Blame the
(30:23):
CIA, Screw you. I'm goingto Texas and thank our lucky stars.
Sorry, our lucky lone star wedid. This is Kitty Webster's pursuit of
happiness. Ain't no sunshine when she'sgo very sad news today, my friends,
(30:48):
it's not wong when she Here's whatI don't understand. How did O.
J. Simpson outlive Jimmy Carter.It's unbelievable. It is this a
spoiled papperd narciss to Hollywood bratt orwhat? Yes? O J. Simpson's
dead today. He could outrun thepolice in a white Ford Bronco, but
(31:11):
he couldn't outrun cancer. Apparently thishas captivated a nation. The convicted felon,
dominant running back Hollywood star Heart's rentalcar spokesperson is dead at age seventy
six, and I'm sure nobody ismore upset today about the news than his
daughter. Chloe Kardashian Here with somecommentary. Stand up comedian Tim mathis,
(31:33):
Hello, Tim. Yeah, somesay we shouldn't make jokes about OJ Simpson,
but I'd still like to take astab at it. Haha. I'm
just excited for Norm McDonald because he'sbeen what he's been in the afterlife for
about two three years something like that. He has just been working tirelessly on
(31:56):
new OJ Simpson roast jokes. SoI figure that let OJ up in heaven
for about two or three hours andjust let Norm roast the hell out of
him and then send him where hebelongs after Ronald Goldman gets to kick him
in the mads. You know what'ssad about his death is he'll never get
to find out who murdered his wife. Yeah, that's tough, right.
(32:17):
I guess that's just lost to theether. Yeah exactly, Yeah, and
cancer murdered OJE. Granted we allknow who did it. I have an
advertiser and a guy that used toadvertise on the show. Once. He
and I once went out to lunch, real smart guy, very conservative,
and he started telling me why hethought OJ was innocent. And after he
(32:38):
talked for about forty minutes on howOj Simpson had gambling debts he never paid
and kind of like how Michael Jordan'sdad was murdered. Maybe Oj actually wasn't
the killer, it was the mobkilling him because he didn't pay his gambling
debts. I am almost convinced thatthere could be something to that theory.
I mean anything, it's possible atthis point. You know, like I've
(33:01):
told people, I didn't believe thewhole Epstein stuff fifteen years ago, but
now I'm open to a lot ofconspiracy theories. So I wouldn't put it
past obviously the mob doing something likethat. But I mean, there's just
so much evidence. I don't know. I'd have to go back and rewatch
that whole trial and everything, andI just don't have it in me.
(33:21):
Yeah, with OJ Simpson dead,now this begs the question where will Kato
Kalen live? Well, the goodnews is, I mean in La there's
always a couch to crash on aslong as you know you're willing to look
the other way on a double homeside. Yeah. O J. Simpson
died doing what he loved the most, spending time with a dying person.
(33:46):
Anyway, all the O. J. Simpson news related to there's really not
much else to say about it.He's dead and we can all get out
our one liners or whatever. Butpeople are alive, believe it or not.
And last night different hollywo with celebritiesgathered together at the White House for
the State dinner. And I don'tknow how many people looked at this,
but Jeff Bezos was there with hiswife, his second wife, you know,
(34:08):
he got divorced. So he's withthis woman who was a Mexican weather
lady or something. And I don'tknow if you saw it, Tim,
but she was wearing a booby dress. She had her jugs hanging out,
and some people thought that was inappropriate. But isn't that really the only reason
why she was even invited to thedinner. I'm sure Bill Clinton didn't mine,
so she might have been a littleover age for him. Yeah,
(34:31):
but yeah, no Jeff Bezos bringingaround the hotties, I guess is if
you're going to be a billionaire,you might as well flaunt it. So
I don't know. I wasn't there. I don't get invited to the White
House state dinner, but maybe somethingI will go attend is this boxing match
coming up at the beginning of thesummer. Everybody's talking about this another another
(34:52):
black man from the nineties who spenta little time in prison, Mike Tyson
is going to box Jake Paul.Do you For those who don't know,
Jake Paul's a young kid. He'sa blonde kid who got famous doing silly
dances on YouTube. And some peopleare trying to figure out if this is
a real boxing match or just afake exhibition. What's your take on that.
(35:15):
I am excited to hopefully see JakePaul get knocked out. Now,
I don't know if that can happenwith Mike being ouse. Is Mike fifty
eight? Yeah, he's almost sixtyright, Ye, he's almost sixty.
Yeah, But they say power isthe last thing to go, so I
think everybody is behind Mike Tyson here. I don't know of anybody who wants
(35:38):
to see Jake Paul win this fight, So hopefully it's not fixed. There's
been a lot of accusations of theseJake Paul celebrity boxing matches being fixed.
So hopefully they let Mike go allout, and if he can get him
in the first two rounds, Ithink he's got a shot to finally end
this plague of Jake Paul trying tobe a boxer. Right, and so,
(36:01):
Jake Paul has been boxing now forfour years and Mike Tyson's considered to
be the greatest living boxer. Idon't like Jake Paul. I don't think
most people do, but you've gotto admit he has I mean, his
grift is on point. The guyfigured out how to talk his way into
a boxing ring with Mike Tyson.The question is, if it is a
real boxing match, even at agefifty eight, how does Mike Tyson not
(36:23):
murder this guy? Yeah, Imean, but I have seen this Jake
Paul guy hang with a couple ofpeople, so you never know. Plus,
like I said, there's a lotof rumors about these things being fixed,
such as you know, you can'tthrow certain punches, you can't do
certain things in the ring. Sowe'll see how it goes. I mean,
(36:45):
I'm not going to pay for it. Only a sucker would pay for
these fights. Anybody out there who'spaying for it, you are a sucker,
right. But we'll see how itgoes. It'll be on Twitter fifteen
seconds after the fight's over, sohopefully we'll get to see Jake Paul get
knocked out in the first couple arounds. Yeah, something to be said
about that, I wonder. Soif you don't want to pay for it,
(37:07):
what do you do? Go toBuffalo Wild Wings or something? Oh?
Yeah, I mean you can goat any reputable sports bar and check
it out. I know some peoplepirate it, which I'm not saying to
do that, but yeah, youcan always watch these things free. Yeah.
Hey, you're a comedian, youknow Michael ian Black. I think
he used to be on the Stateand a bunch of other shows. He
(37:30):
said he might leave the United Stateseven if Trump loses the election this year.
He said, ask not what yourcountry can do for you? Ask?
Oh that was JFK. Sorry,there's a weird quote in the article.
He said. The fact is mostof us are here by happenstance.
We found ourselves pushed into a worldneither of our making nor of our choosing.
He said, I don't like Trump. I don't want to live in
(37:50):
Trump's America. I'm paraphrasing here,but even if he wins, I'd still
like to get out of the country. Why don't these people just do it?
Why do they spend so much timetalking about this. I remember in
twenty seven so many Hollywood celebrities,Robert de Niro, Miley Cyrus, they
all promised to leave, and yetnone of them did. Yeah, it's
like they don't know. You canjust leave anytime. There's a good quote
(38:14):
from the Old Rick and Morty Showwhere one of the characters goes to leave
a facility that he season and theysay, yeah, that was always allowed.
You can always leave. Michael IatanBlack hasn't been relevant in at least
fifteen years. I mean, theonly thing I know him from is his
little douchey tweets that he puts outsometimes. But I mean, the guy's
(38:37):
completely irrelevant. He blocked Yeah,noon, he blocked me a long time
ago. I forgot. I mean, he blocked me a long time ago
for making a joke about how hewas on a book tour with Megan McCain
and I suggested that the two ofthem were being intimate. I don't even
it was like twenty twelve. Itwas years ago, and right up until
you said that, I forgot hewas even on Twitter. Yeah, I
(38:57):
mean, if you're going to beintimate with Megan McCain, bring a back
brace because that's a big lady.And hey, who knows you might end
up in some kind of Third Worldwar because that's just the McCain lay.
But yeah, Michael ian Black completelyirrelevant. If he left tomorrow, nobody
would even notice, except for thefact that he would let everybody know.
So just shut up and do it. Michael Well, speaking of people that
(39:22):
look like Megan McCain. Country musicstar and rapper Jelly Roll is all over
the news today, fresh off winninga bunch of CMT awards. He was
doing an interview the other day.He said that he had an opportunity to
hang out with puff Daddy, buthe turned it down. Apparently, the
story goes, he, you know, didn't feel like puff Daddy was a
guy he'd want to go meet andhang out with. What do you think
about this? I what is whatis a jelly Roll? I am I
(39:46):
am not familiar with this, Ohjelly role you don't know. He's huge
and he's really popular too. JYeah, he is huge. I just
googled him. He is a verylarge man. He got speaking of Megan
McCain. Geez right, it's MeghanMcCain with face tattoos. Jelly All said
(40:07):
he got much. He got nervousabout the meeting after he cracked a joke
about P Diddy orchestrating the killing ofTupac. Little did he know that P
Diddy was basically the black Jeffrey Epstein, I don't think people realize that at
the time. Yeah, it's it'swild. The whole P Diddy thing.
Is he even arrested yet? Ihaven't even Uh, I haven't. I
(40:29):
haven't caught up to that. Maybethe FBI hadn't caught up to him either,
But yeah, he uh, thewhole P Diddy thing is really wild.
Wouldn't be surprised if all the allegationsare true. Like I said,
at this point in time, ifif somebody makes an allegation, no matter
how wild it is, I haveto at least give it freed. Yeah.
Interestingly enough, as much as everybodywas talking about puff Daddy last week,
(40:53):
now suddenly he's kind of found hisway out of the news cycle.
Another thing people aren't talking about anymore, Haiti. He was all over the
news a little over a week agoa gangbanger cannibal named barbecue took over the
island and now Americans just got boredwith this. Yeah, I mean,
out of side, out of mind. And apparently the Clintons can't make any
(41:15):
money off of it this time,so our politicians aren't worried about it.
It's it's really crazy, but hey, if you're going to have a cannibal
in charge, at least it's somebodywho likes barbecue. You don't want to
have like a sushi cannibal or somethinglike that. You want to have it
properly cooked and properly marinated. Thatis a very good point. Yeah,
there's no human flesh is only palatableunder certain circumstances, so barbecue would be
(41:38):
the way to go. I thinkabsolutely on that note. Follow my buddy

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
