Jack Ganic. Government sucks. Thesuit of happiness radio is DeLux. Liberty
and freedom will make you smile.A suit of happing and us on your
radio toil justice, cheeseburgers a liberyrise at. A new study just published

(00:22):
at the University of Texas, SanAntonio claims men who own guns are more
likely to have a larger sized penisno wonder Hunter Biden was willing to lie
on that application. Hi, I'mKenny Webster. A big show today.
Joe Biden had an embarrassing moment inFrance, Did I say A? And
embarras? He had four embarrassing momentson stage at the eightieth anniversary of Normandy.

(00:46):
We're going to talk about it comingup in a little bit. Daniel
Turner stopping by from Power the Future, fifty cent rapper fifty cent from Houston
said he did not get chlamydia fromLauren Bobert. We'll be talking about it.
Stand up comedian Tim Mathis is stoppingby with all the latest from Disney
and Hollywood and so much more.So to hang out for that. But
before we even really begin the show, can we just take a deep dive

(01:07):
into how much the left strategy toget rid of Trump is not working.
Breitbart dot com today reporting on theaftermath of the phony felony convictions against Trump.
It has been a week since afascist kangaroo court in Manhattan found Donald
Trump guilty of thirty four fake crimes. Guess what, He is still leading

(01:27):
in the polls. If anything,he's more popular May thirtieth. You remember
all the scheming, the plotting,the conspiring between Joe Biden and the judicial
system came together to create the talkingpoint, the talking point that Donald Trump
is a convicted felon, because that'sall this was ever about, creating talking
points. Is he actually a dangerouscriminal? Does he actually in danger?

(01:51):
Are you worse off now because DonaldTrump paid a hush money fee decade ago
at this point to some porn starthat you didn't care about. No,
it doesn't matter. This was alwaysabout a talking point. So a group
of political lynchers who called themselves ajury made that talking point official. Along

(02:12):
comes the Democrat Party and their propagandaarm otherwise known as the legacy liberal corporate
media and the same serial liars,all responsible, all responsible for creating things
like the Russian collusion hoax or thehands up Don't shoot hoax, or the
Jesse Smollett hoax, or the CovingtonCatholic school kids, or a bunch of
ku Klux Klan members hoax, theRussian Bounties hoax, the Kyle Rittenhouse hoax,

(02:37):
the Nascar and the garage news hoaks. COVID deaths are overcounted as a
conspiracy theory hoax, the Hamas Hospitalhoax. I could do this for a
long time. Guys. They're goodlittle lapdogs, aren't they. They spent
a week repeating the convicted felon talkingpoint like it was a mantra, like
it was a prayer, And tothem it is a prayer to their pagan

(02:59):
god of big fist government that promisesto micromanage our lives without something conformist and
miserable while they prance about pretending tohave earned a place in our society.
The goal was obvious. It's thesame goal these demonic institutions have had since
Trump rode that escalator straight down intothe Oval office. Destroy him, crush

(03:23):
him. That's all they've ever wantedto do. But like you've heard so
many times before, it was neverabout him. It was about you,
radio listener. You're the one thatgot out of line. You're the one
that interrupted the status quo by votingfor him. Unfortunately, none of it
worked. In the latest polls,the poll of all polls, the Real

(03:44):
Clear Politics poll, that's the pollthey love so much, Trump leads.
His lead has increased since last week. As a matter of fact, he
is now more popular today after therelease of four post phony conviction polls.
Trump leads one point one points.Last week it was point nine. Now
granted, point two points and movementnot much, hardly even worth mentioning.

(04:08):
But you know that point two ismaking fascist leftists all over the country gulp.
They're losing sleep. So yeah,go ahead, bring it up,
mention it. They don't want tohear it. For Forbes and Reuters both
pulled on the day of Trump's phonyconviction and the day after, how'd that
turn out? Exactly how you'd think. Luck. We still got a long

(04:30):
way to go before November. Asthese events settle into voters' minds, things
can change. But what these villainsit hoped for has not happened. There
has been no collapse in the pollsfor Orange Man, bad, red hat,
evil, and they're mad. They'remad at him and they're especially mad

(04:51):
at you. Hey, it's methe Donald. You're listening to the Pursuit
of Happiness radio voice from the radiogame fifty Cent or is it Fittycent?
I don't know. I do know. He owns a local alcohol brand.
Yesterday he was in Washington, dC. Taking photos with pretty much everybody,

(05:13):
But the only picture anybody could seemto remember is Lauren Bobert. Lauren
Bobert, Lauren. You know,because she's I think, cause she's cute
and she's single now that she's divorced. Fifty Cent actually took to Twitter to
explain how bizarre it is that peoplewere shocked that he said, wait,
wait, guys, I took pictureswith everyone, and all you seem to
care about is Lauren. What didshe do in a dark theater that hasn't

(05:36):
been done before? My god?Hey, by the way, I don't
have chlamydia? He said. It'sa strange time to be alive anyway.
But that was yesterday. What abouttoday today, our fearless leader, his
fraudulency, Joe Biden. Is thatthe eightieth anniversary of Normandy. It's a
pretty big deal. Eighty years someof these guys are still alive over one

(06:00):
hundred years old, which is justincredible. Back in the nineteen fifties,
the last of the Civil War vetsdied off. There was only a few
left, and then the nineteen fiftiesthey all keeled over because that's what humans
do. We're all gonna die.I'm not being insensitive. All die,
You'll die. And I got toimagine that's a little bit what it's like
today with the World War two vets. This is really the last. I

(06:24):
mean, guys, it was eightyyears ago. They're not going to be
around for much longer, so Godbless them. But on stage today in
Normandy, Emmanuel Macron, the veryimportant doctor, Joe Biden, the most
important Joe Biden, and then EmmanuelMacron's much older, very wealthy wife.
And there were a few embarrassing momentsif you haven't seen the clips yet.

(06:44):
Joe Biden got confused. He triedto sit in an invisible chair. It's
like he didn't realize there was nochair behind him. He almost fell over.
And there's this really smooth moment whereJoe kind of covers her mouth like
she's just trying to tell him,Joe, there's no chair there and then
he wanders off again looking for anotherthat doesn't exist. He forgets where he's
sitting. A really embarrassing moment happenedwhen he started talking about the current Russian

(07:05):
Ukraine war. Go ahead, Joe, They've been inflicted on the Russian aggressias.
They suffered tremendous losses of Russia.The numbers are staggered, three hundred
and fifty thousand Russian troops dead.I don't know why it's doing that thing
where it only plays in one year. I don't know if you guys can
hear that, But Joe is talkingabout Russia and Ukraine, and he's talking

(07:26):
about Russia as if they're bad andUkraine as if they're good. But he's
doing this at a World War twoevent, almost as if he's forgetting that
during World War Two the Ukrainians alignedthemselves, that the Nazis, and the
Russians fought the Nazis. And Idon't think he knew that. Didn't didn't
a member of the Canadian Parliament recentlyhave to step down in disgrace for making
the same mistake. But then theweirdest moment happened at the end of the

(07:47):
event, when doctor Joe Biden rushedJoe Biden off stage. Here with their
reaction, I've been a little longin the tooth. I got a guest
on hold, Daniel Turner from Powerof the Futures Here, Daniel, what'd
you think of this? You know, one of the things that so much
to talk about, Kennedy. Thiswas very bizarre to watch in real time.
They're very bizarre considering what an austeremoment this is. And I love

(08:09):
the way you set it up.These guys were beyond heroic. And they
were also kids, right they weresixteen seventeen years old. Our seventeen year
olds can't do midterms about cuddling alabrador these days, and these guys were
climbing the cliffs right with So it'ssuch an incredible moment. And then to
watch this, I don't understand whyany president would celebrate the death of three

(08:35):
hundred and fifty thousand Russian troops.Even if you say, like Russia bad,
we want Ukraine to win. Theseare also eighteen nineteen year old guys
who have no idea why the hellthey're fighting. Why is that a good
thing? Three hundred and fifty thousanddead Russians Lindsey Graham says this also very
often. Right, We're gonna havelots of dead Russians. What the hell
is wrong with these people? Like? War is awful? Right, World

(09:00):
wld War two beyond awful. Theycalled World War One the Great War because
the people who resolved it thought,wow, we would never see something so
awful again. Why do these peoplelove death so much? Well, they
also love abortion, so I meanthat explains it. But they love death,
and it's very odd. There arenoble wars, don't get me wrong.

(09:22):
World War two was a very noblecause. But to look at World
War Two and say, and wekilled millions of Germans is missing the point.
It's not about killing Germans, it'sabout standing up for what's right.
And it was bizarre. And Ihaven't even talked about the president's antics.
I'm so caught on the fact thatthe speech writer threw this in there as

(09:43):
something to be proud of. Veryodd. Yeah, it's super bizarre,
isn't it. And you know whatit reminded me of. I'm sure you
remember this when Joe Biden was lookingat his watch during a ceremony bringing home
the dead bodies of thirteen fallen servicemembers from Afghanistan. Anybody that watched it
live on TV was disgusted by it. And then hours later you had USA

(10:05):
Today and all the liberal cable newshacks trying to talk it away as if
that's not what happened. Is ifwe're all lying because we watched it live,
but people that didn't watch it livehave to hear a third hand account.
Is that going to happen with this? I mean, this was clearly
an embarrassing How will the media digestthis and then regurgitate it? Yeah,
you know, they're already trying tospin it. And I've watched a bunch

(10:26):
of names of news coverage. They'realready trying to spin it as you know,
look at Joe Biden talking to thesepeople who were older than him.
You know, they're kind of thesame generation. They're all heroes of a
better time. They all, youknow, like they're all just a bunch
of patriots who have fought the goodfight over the last couple of decades in
their life. That's how they're goingto try to present to us, to

(10:50):
us that he was doing something greatand he's part of this great generation.
But he's not. He's not.And as antics today are are very disconcerting,
very alarming that this is the commanderin chief. Jill Biden is clearly
two things. She's clearly the president. She's clearly probably the most evil person

(11:13):
alive right now, because I haveto think with all my heart and soul
if I am eighty and I amthis confused, and I don't say incontinent
to make fun of him, butit looks like he may be. God
Almighty, I pray that my spousedoes not put me on the world stage
to embarrass myself because he wants power, right. I pray to God that

(11:37):
no one puts me in this situationbecause my kids are so eager to have
contracts with foreign that we don't carewhat the hell Dad is doing. I
mean, this is elder abuse ata large scale, and I think Jill
Biden could be one of the mostreprehensible people on the planet alive. And
I'm not saying that to be hyperbolicor to get clicks. I'm saying that

(11:58):
genuinely. To do this to yourspouse is effing disgusting at this point,
and she is a shameful, shamefulwoman. Were you impressed that Joe didn't
mention how his son died while hewas away at war during the Normandy spitch.
I was waiting for them. Iwas waiting for Bo absolutely because he

(12:18):
always throws in Bo and how Bodied in a rat. So you know,
I'm sure I don't hold out hopethat it's not going to happen,
right, I mean, the dayis not over it yet over there.
I also I have done advance onthe presidential level before some twenty years ago.
Advance or the people who literally advancedthe president's trip, and they set

(12:41):
up everything and they put everything inorder because they know, you know what
the president does, where he likesto sit, where he likes his bottle
of water. Whoever is doing Biden'sadvance is messing up terribly because you have
to know the president needs a chair, and so Joe Biden is looking around
to sit because he's old and sittingas a sense of comfort because it's security.

(13:07):
Right, It's like a podium.Why was there no chair there?
It's very similar to the West Pointgraduation when he tripped and they were like,
well, someone put nope. Advancehas to get rid of stumbling blocks
because he stumbles. So where ishis advanced team to say, hey,
hey, hey, no, weneed a chair here, we need a
bottle of water. We need tohide him behind a table. By the

(13:28):
way. That to close the thoughton this, that's what they're doing with
the debates against President Trump right nowright. They want him on a tape
that they want him behind a table. Trump wants them behind a podium.
They want him seated, Trump wantshim standing. That's what your advanced team
is supposed to do, and they'refailing him miserably. All right, purely
speculation, But why do you thinkthey rushed him off stage near the event

(13:50):
wasn't over, and he left EmmanuelMacron on stage. Emmanuel Macron clearly looked
confused. He started pointing, like, where's he going? Yeah? I
hate to I do not like JoeBiden. I make no bones about it.
I think he's an awful president.I think he's probably an awful human
being. I have no sympathy forhim. I dislike this man on so

(14:15):
many levels. But he is alsoa human, and as someone created in
God's image and likeness, he hasinherent dignity. I have to think,
just because he is human and heis one of God's children, that he
deserves better than this. And sowhen I say he was rushed off for
personal reasons, I'm not doing thatto make fun of the man. I

(14:37):
can make fun of him on lotsof things. But whatever he has,
you just did. But whatever hewas rushed off for, there was a
reason for it. And again,don't do this to your elders, right,
Like, the guy has been ingovernment since longer than I'm alive,
Kenny, and I'm not a kid. He's been in government for six decades.

(14:58):
Let the man just retire. Butnope, nope, because they know
they can can pull the strings.And they are all making boatloads of money,
right, trillions of dollars in greenspending trillions of dollars and they're going
to keep them there because everyone's makingmoney but you and me. I think
it'd be a nice Daniel Turner fromPower of the Future, I think he

(15:18):
took a dump in his pants andthey had to rush him off stage.
Earlier this week, there was anotherheadline. I mean, this was what
two days ago? No, thiswas earlier today. He just claimed this
headline is from earlier this morning.Biden claims he's known Russia's Vladimir Putin for
over forty years. He even knewPutin when he was a KGB agent.
There's a story about this in theNew York Post. He said, I've

(15:41):
known him over forty years. He'sconcerned me for over forty years. Biden
told ABC News anchor David Muare thatguy's last name during an interview in France.
By the way, that guy's supposedto be the most viewed news anchor
in America. Nobody ever talks aboutDavid Muare. Nobody even knows how to
say his last name, Daniel.This is Joe Biden's Walter Midti syndrome.

(16:06):
Right. He also will tell youwho he was arrested protesting for Nelson Mandela.
He will tell you that he wassent to negotiate peace with gold in
my year during the nineteen sixty fourArab invasion, Joe Biden has these you
know he was he was he marchedwith Doctor King asked him. He was
actively involved in the civil rights movement. He went to Black churches, Puerto

(16:27):
Rican churches, Greek Orthodox churches,Catholic churches, Jewish synagogues. Name a
community, Joe Biden was raised init. So this is a man from
a generation that didn't have Google onyour phone that you could check in real
time. And he's used to beingable to lie in people saying, well,
he wouldn't lie to us. He'sa senator, and so he's incapable

(16:51):
now, and add the dementia toit, he's incapable now of being truthful.
But that also makes him dangerous.Right, we have to negotiate with
Putin for good or for ill.We have to negotiate with him. And
if he has in his mind,this is someone I've known for forty years.
Who do you think is going towin that negotiation? Yeah? Right,
so it puts us in bad shape. One more for you, totally

(17:11):
unrelated to any of this, Well, it's what I started the segment with.
Rapper Fitty Sent, a Houstonian,not originally, but he lives here
now runs a liquor company. Alocal black entrepreneur at Capitol Hill yesterday says
black men are now identifying with Trumpover Biden. I have mixed feelings about
this. I think Republicans are beinga little ambitious about this. I don't

(17:32):
know if black men are going tocome out and vote for Trump. I'll
bet a lot of them just won'tvote. I bet there's a lot of
black men that'll say, I can'tvote for a Republican but Biden sucks,
and they'll stay home on election day. But what do you think? Yeah,
I think that's just written large ofDemocrats. You know, they are
going to be always the activist Democratswho are politically engaged, who love slaughtering
babies, who love climate change,who love hating on Jews, and they

(17:57):
are going to vote Democrats regardless.You can't keep them from the polls,
and they're going to vote four andfive times if they can get away with
it. But there there are justthe people who vote at their civic duty
and they'll probably just kind of stayhome. What's the reason to vote?
They're not going to switch to voteRepublicans. Republicans have a lot to do

(18:18):
to win them over, but Bidenhasn't done anything to get them out to
vote, and that's going to betheir biggest problem. Why am I voting
for Joe Biden? Eggs are fourdollars a dozen, right, who can
afford steak? You know? Imean everyone likes to have barbecues. Everyone
needs to eat. You go tothe grocery store, you can't afford anything.

(18:38):
Look at the price, and JoeBiden will say, well, the
price of gas has come down,it's still a dollar fifty higher than when
you took office. And just becausewe're used to it doesn't mean it's good
or doesn't mean it is the newnormal. So black men, black women,
white men, white women who areDemocrats could easily just say, you
know, I'm just not going tovote this time, and that is good

(19:00):
for Donald Trump, no doubt.Yes, stuff is expensive. Of course,
our Treasury secretary did go to Chinaand take psychedelic mushrooms, so maybe
that had something to do with it. But hey, Daniel Turner, Power
the Future, Powerthfuture dot COM's thewebsite. We didn't talk much about the
energy industry today. I mean wetouched on it. But if you work
in oil and gas, if youhave people that you work with who work
in oil and gas, if youhave anything to do with the energy industry,

(19:22):
you need to be following Daniel Turneron social media. Find him on
x You're listening to Pursuit of Happinessradio band in China, Iran and communists
occupy at Austin, Texas. Memphishas the deadliest car crashes in America.

(19:45):
Harrison Budker wants to know if that'sbecause they have a lot of female drivers.
I told that joke this morning,but I just thought it Bart,
It's worth it. Come on,it's funny. A little misogyny's funny once
in a while. Get over it. Somebody wrote an email recently complaining that
last week when Krystal was here mygood friend, well Monday, she was
here from Wheelchairs for Warriors, thatI interrupted her a lot and made some

(20:06):
inappropriate jokes. You know, I'mmy friend Krystal, and I are raising
thousands of dollars for wheelchairs for warriors, and we're doing it with the silly,
ridiculous radio show. You don't likehow I run the radio show.
I'm sorry, crime more, crimemore lib. When I read these emails,
I always I know you're not aconservative. Nobody on the right would

(20:27):
get offended that I'm making boner jokeswhile I raise money for disabled military veterans.
Oh I'm sorries that would meet youmad? Yeah, crime more.
I know the left is crying morebecause they're losing this election right now.
Isn't it interesting every four years howthey find a new strategy to try to
cheat what they do in twenty sixteen. You remember, in twenty sixteen,

(20:52):
Hillary Clinton had these off the recordmeetings with high ranking members of the liberal
media, asking them to withhold damninginformation about Trump until the primaries were over.
Then her and Barack Obama teamed upso they could tap the phones of
Carter Page with FISA warrants. Theywere listening in and spying on the Trump
campaign. Didn't work. Twenty twentywas a different story, though COVID happened.

(21:18):
COVID was Christmas time for the communists, wasn't it. Oh, they
loved COVID. They really did maskmandates telling people you can't gather together in
a public place unless it's for BlackLives matter. That's different. Twenty four
hour drive through polling locations, mailin ballots, legalizing ballot harvesting. That

(21:40):
time it did work, And nowwhat are they doing now? It's law
fair against Trump, weaponizing our legalsystem to take down Trump. Derek Carter
recently talked about this at townhall dotcom and he asked an interesting question.
A question I want to ask youright now is if you have heard the
new news about the president Senile Kidsnifferissuing an executive order on the border.

(22:07):
It was creating another fake talking point, wasn't it. People on the left
can now say, hey, wetried to do something about the border,
and the Republicans weren't down with it. Well, they didn't really try to
do anything. They just said,well, limit the ten million illegal immigrants
a year to one million. Actionthat was meant to seal the border when
the number of illegal aliens, andthat's what they are, reaches an arbitrary

(22:30):
total. Of course, what countsin that total is completely at the discretion
of the president, thereby making itmeaningless. But that's the point. And
liberals are playing their role in thisbukake theater perfectly. Excuse me, I
meant to say, kabuki theater.Forget me. You have to be a
special kind of stupid to think JoeBiden, or any Democrat for that matter,
would actually want to secure the border. These are the people that started

(22:53):
the world's most destructive game of redrover, and they did it deliberately.
They did it in an attempt toflood the country with a group of people
they hope will be future Democrat voters. You think they're about to stop.
Now. To say they don't careabout the border is an understatement. They

(23:14):
don't care about the border. Theydon't care about death, they don't care
about destruction, they don't care abouthuman trafficking, they don't care about sex
exploitation. They care about Hunter Biden. They want to keep him out of
prison, and they really That's theother thing that's so amazing too. Trump
is on trial to try to swaythe election. Hunter Biden is on trial,

(23:37):
so you'll still think the system's fair. So that executive order at the
border, will it do anything?If it was capable of stopping illegal immigration,
you think Joe would have done it, even though it's toothless and it
won't stop anything. The Biden gangis flying in thirty thousand illegals daily and

(23:59):
they're not kids in any of that. By the way, in those numbers,
did you know that Biden made astatement. I don't know if you
saw it. It's doubtful it wouldpass as a proof of life video and
a hostage negotiation. But even thoughthe actions he took are meaningless, they
have to be sold to the fiveto seven percent of swing voters that still

(24:19):
exist, people that don't have anopinion about Joe or Donald. So with
that in mind, Democrats of notehave to whine about it to sell it
to those people. Joe has tobe seen as doing something that upsets the
people who love open borders. Hisbase knows it's a lie. We know
it's a lie, but the peoplewho don't pay attention to the news might

(24:41):
not. And that's what the lieis all about. You remember Julian Castro.
Julian Castro, he's the former Housingand Urban Development secretary under Obama.
He played this little game on Twitter, he wrote, Biden. He got
on Twitter and he said Biden hasconsis instantly avoided the issue of immigration when

(25:02):
he could, seeing it as justa political liability, totally playing defense.
Only the result Trump and Steven Millercrowd moved the Overton window. Now Biden
is taking actions that he campaigned againstjust four years ago. WHOA. People

(25:22):
on the far left are mad atJoe for pretending to do something about the
border. Wow, Joe's gone hardcore, just not in the way that actually
does anything. But still, JulianCastro's tweets continued, He said, quote,
Meanwhile, Biden has done little tomove the country or the Congress towards
immigration reform. You know, thevoters who were concerned with the mess at

(25:44):
the border could easily read stories aboutCastro's comments or or any of the other
similar comments from leftists, and theycould think Joe has done something good.
The media will ignore Republicans pointing outhow the action literally does nothing. They'll
just focus on how people on thefar left are and that'll give the impression
that the problem has been addressed bythe president. And this is one of

(26:06):
the top issues to voters, Soit matters. People who weren't going to
vote for Joe because of his failureat the border will not be open to
the prospect of supporting him, notat all, but some. And to
win this the election, you onlyneed some some might. So that's what
we're up against right now, kiddos, and what the GOP has to message

(26:27):
against. It's not enough to haveDonald Trump say this. There needs to
be an advertising campaign designed expressly fordeprogramming the lies the left tells people.
It can't exaggerate. It has tojust state exactly what happened, what he
said, and what the truth is. When the truth is on your side,

(26:47):
simply tell it. That's all.The Republicans have to do on this
issue, and it's the exact reasonDemocrats do not and cannot do the same.
This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness. Dig it? Oh yeah,
Apparently Bad Boys Ride or Die.That's the new Bad Boys movie. It's

(27:10):
called Bad Boys Ride or Die.Getting terrible reviews. You know what that
means? Somebody is getting slapped?Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic
Hollywood brat or what? You know? That reminds me. There's a stand
up comedian on hold right now.Tim mathis very funny comedian from Texas currently

(27:30):
living in Hollywood as a comedy writer. You've seen him before at Operation Comedy
Therapy. In fact, him andhis buddy Theodore Emmy Taylor are doing a
special. They're taping a special Junefifteenth, right here in the Houston area.
I got free tickets if you wantto go. We'll talk about that
in a minute. But Tim,you never get slapped on stage before anybody
ever get mad? You got anystories about upsetting someone in the audience during

(27:52):
a live stand up show, Heckler'sthat sort of thing that ever happened to
you? Tim? Oh, No. I think most people know that I'm
a highly trained naval combatant, sothat wouldn't go too well for them.
You are a military veteran. Youdon't look like you're intimidating. You look
like a nice guy. But Imean, yeah, you are trained to
kill, aren't you. Well,you know as much as the US Navy

(28:15):
does that. Unless you're a stillyou don't get much hand to hand combat
opportunity. So is that right?Really? But yeah, all right?
The domestic box office is down rightnow, twenty four percent compared to last
year and forty two percent forty twopercent compared to twenty nineteen. That's almost
fifty percent. That is a bigloss for Hollywood. Hollywood is panicking.

(28:36):
Hollywood and the sycophantic Hollywood media arestill lying to themselves about the reason why.
They say it's because of the pandemic. They say it's because of streaming
services. There are they right?I don't agree with them. Uh,
they're they're right on a little bit. There's a lot of issues going on,
but they should be scared, andI'm glad they're scared because Hollywood has

(28:56):
been putting out a bunch of crapfor a long time. Overpriced crap as
well, and of course they're stilldoing it. But hopefully eventually they'll start
dialing down on the crap and startputting out good stuff again. But right
now it's not looking good. I'vealso heard the reviews for I Guess It's

(29:18):
Bad Boys four at this point,which, yeah, it's I think the
only reason this movie probably exists isbecause of the slap at the Oscars,
because I'm guessing that Will Smith isnot getting a lot of opportunities right now,
so they had to go back toan old franchise. All right.

(29:38):
Do you think that's why Alec Baldwinis suddenly doing a reality show about him
and his family? I mean,he's a big star suddenly. You don't
see him on Saturday Night Live.Known he's not in the New Beetle Juice
as far as I could tell.Is it because he killed a person?
Well? Yeah, I mean it'sgot to be a tough sell for your
other actors and especially your cinematographer tohave Alec Baldwin on the set at this

(30:00):
point, because who knows who's goingto be next in his killing spree?
Absolutely, yeah, So I assumeone hundred percent that that's the main reason
why he's trying to go the realityTV show route. Actually in the in
the news is the armorer for Rustis saying that she wants him to go

(30:23):
to jail as well. And Imean, he did point a gun and
pull a trigger without knowing what thesituation was, So in my opinion,
he's got at least some negligence.All Right. The latest from Disney and
Star Wars is this thing called Acolyteand I don't know anything about it.
The budget okay, I know alittle bit about it. The budget's at
one hundred and eighty million dollars andapparently fans already don't like it. And

(30:48):
they did an interview a while backAmandola Stenberg. This is not a new
interview, it's an old clip,but she was talking about why fans don't
like it, and she said this, well, people watch the hate you
give what do you want to walkaway with? Because I know everyone has
a slightly different feeling. Well,I mean white people crying actually was the
goal. Okay, so they're blamingthe unpopularity on racism according to this clip

(31:11):
on the internet. I don't know, what do you think, Tim Well,
That clip particularly is actually about atwenty eighteen movie called The Hate You
Give, which is exactly what itsounds like. It's just a movie about
white hatred. I guess why didthat go Why did that suddenly go viral
and people saying it was about StarWars because she's the star of the Acolyte

(31:33):
exactly, and she is in myopinion, I have no idea why she
keeps getting work. The acting isbeing panned on that series all except for
a couple of the actors that arestand out. The whole series just shouldn't
have happened. It's headed by alady named Leslie Hedlind who was Harvey Weinstein's
personal assistant. And yes, shewas the personal assistant during many of the

(31:57):
years where Harvey Weinstein is doing whatHarvey Weinstein was convicted of doing. Wow.
At minimum, yeah, at minimumshe knew what was going on.
At worst case scenario, she servedup people to him, which we know
that other people have done in thepast. So I can't really appreciate anything

(32:17):
Heedlund does. It's also, accordingto the folks that are watching it,
the gay at Star Wars. Ever, they're they're going to be introducing pronouns
and all this stuff, They're changingthe way the force works. It's sitting
at a thirty percent on audience scoreon Rotten Tomatoes right now. So of
course the critics love it because ofeverything I just mentioned. Yeah, and

(32:43):
the fans hate it. I know, I know I'm speaking the obvious here,
Tim, but it feels like,I mean, it's always kind of
been this way, but it feelslike right now, what the fans want
and what the media industry wants arewhat so called critics want and what actual
consumers want are polar opposite. They'venever been more different. Well, yeah,
I mean, the critics really likedthe messaging. The critics really like

(33:07):
pushing the envelope of societal norms andall that stuff, whereas the audience just
want fun movies that for the olderfans they wanted to remind them of their
childhood, and for the younger fans, they just want fun, you know,
carefree space rocks. And we usedto get that in Star Wars.
We used to have movies and evensome TV shows. The Mandalorians first two

(33:32):
seasons for example, did that forboth of those fan generations. But now
it's just turned into like a Tumblrprofile come to life, just telling us
how we should and shouldn't be inall that mess, and people are tired
of it. So I'm gonna,like, I'm gonna enjoy watching it burn.

(33:54):
Yeah, okay, So obviously StarWars and Marvel were destroying by Disney.
They have used both of those franchisesas their own personal toilet paper.
But the Disney controversy doesn't end there. It's so much more complicated than that,
going back to the so called don'tSay Gay law, which wasn't a
don't say gay law at all.Disney and DeSantis have been feuding. Disney's

(34:15):
now dropped their lawsuit against DeSantis aftersaying they were going to stop doing business
in Florida or they hated Florida.Suddenly they're investing seventeen billion dollars into Florida.
They're building a fifth theme park.It feels like having a theme park
in Florida is the only thing that'smaking money for Disney right now. Well,
yeah, I mean, the othermajor theme park in North America is

(34:37):
in California, and you never knowwhen that's going to get shut down for
another two years, right, Soof course they're going to focus on Florida.
And they were never going to winthat dispute with Florida. Disney has
no business getting into politics, andhopefully they have learned their lesson, but
I'm sure they haven't. No,absolutely not No. Apparently, if you

(35:00):
turn on Disney Plus right now,there's a whole bunch of stuff. If
you tell Disney Plus you want contentfor a four year old, your screen
is filled with Pride Month content.According to a report I looked at yesterday,
Hey, before we leave, everythingdoesn't have to be political. Fraser
Crane seems to think so. That'sKelsey Grammer. He was doing an interview
recently with far left Variety, theHollywood News outlet, and he explained that

(35:23):
they don't do political jokes on FraserFraser's back, by the way, simply
because everything's political nowadays, and hejust wants people to be entertained. And
he's a right winger from Hollywood Shocking. Huh. Yeah, he's one of
the last ones. They're trying toget them all out. But yeah,
I agree with him totally on that. If anybody's seen me do stand up,

(35:45):
I don't do really any political jokes. I just do, you know,
funny humor stuff. The script wejust finished writing the one that we're
shopping around doesn't really have any politicalcommentary in it, and it does.
It's just one joke about politicians ingeneral. So I agree with him.
When I started doing comedy, Iwas doing political humor and I would notice

(36:09):
that half the crowd wouldn't like it. So what's the point of doing a
joke that only half the crowd likes? You know? So? And plus
it dates, it dates the material. You know, if you watch a
show from the eighties and they makea joke about Ronnie Reagan or something like
that, it's like, okay,well it's twenty twenty four. So yeah,

(36:30):
I agree with him totally. Andif you do want to watch some
comedy, I've got some shows comingup Schulman's in Bay City and that is
this Saturday on the eighth, andwe're of course doing The bow Tie Guy
with Coo Emmy Taylor on the fifteenth. Bro, are you are you in
Houston right now? Tim? Areyou in town in Surfside? Oh?
