Speaker 2 (00:23):
A man in North Carolina just got arrested. He got
arrested for assaulting a Low's employee with a sledgehammer.

Wow, I bet I know his favorite Peter Gabriel song. Hi,

Thanks for turning around the radio.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Kenny Webster here my guest at the bottom of the hour,
Congressman Wesley Hunt.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Stick around for him.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
He will be in studio and if you want to
be part of that conversation, you can actually join us
on social media. Will be live streaming, so look out
for that. In the meantime, I am just learning more
about Kamala Harris's choice for VP. I'm sorry I probably
didn't explain that correctly. Barack Obama's choice for Kamala Harris's
(01:11):
VP pick. Yeah, Kamala didn't get to pick. Do you
think Do you think Kamala and Joe get to make
important decisions like who's going to be the Democrat ticket
running mate. No, no, no, Barack Obama made that decision.
That's a well known fact. It's not a shock to anybody.
But I'm learning more about the guy. I'll give an
example of what I'm talking about. Nancy Pelosi just did
(01:31):
this interview where she told NBC News she said, actually, uh,
even though she likes Josh Shapiro, despite the fact that
he's a Jew, she doesn't understand why everybody's making a
big deal about Kamala Harris's running mate. The guy that
they actually picked Tim Walls because he's not a leftist.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Many good choices among the six, and certainly among the two.
I'm a big fan of Governor Shapiro. Tim Walls, I
know very well. Let's say you served in the House.
Characterize him as left is so unreal.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh oh, he's not on the left.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's weird because Tim Walls was once giving a speech
to a bunch of abortion rights activists and he told
them that he told them Nancy Pelosi reached out to
him and privately told him he was too far to
the left.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And my record is so pro choice. Nancy Pelosi asked
me if I should tone it down.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, Walls is so pro baby murder. Nancy Pelosi told
him to chill on his rhetoric. Townhall dot Com today
reporting on the propaganda campaign heavily aided by the leftist
press well underway to paint Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is
a normal, folksy Democrat. After Kamala Harris, Barack Obama selected
(02:47):
him as Kamala's twenty twenty four running mate. But the
organization taking credit for the Walls choices telling and bolstering
his far left record in Minnesota. And I not only
are they bragging about the fact that they picked him,
but it's the people that are doing it that's so interesting.
This explains why Harris didn't choose Pennsylvanvania Governor Josh Shapiro,
(03:07):
or maybe we should say why Barack Obama didn't choose
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Listen to this statement that was
just released by the Democratic Socialists of America quote Harris
choosing Walls as a running mate has shown the world
the DSA and our allies on the left are a
force that cannot be ignored. Through collective action, Democratic Socialists
(03:31):
of America and the USA left more broadly have made
it clear that change is needed. Democratic Socialists of America
members organized in our workplaces and unions to realign the
labor movement to support Palestinian liberation.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Wow, there it is. Kids. They picked this guy because
he doesn't think Israel deserves to be a state.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They put more in there's press statement here. I find
this part kind of interesting. Listen to this. The uncommitted movement,
in which DSA members played crucial roles nationally and in
multiple states, pressured the Democratic establishment into choosing a new
candidate and backing down from a potential VP with direct
ties to the IDF.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know they're talking about Josh Shapiro. The Jew can't
have a Jew. Oh no, no Jews. The Democrats don't
like Jews.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I mean, they like their money and donations and support,
but they don't actually want them in a high ranking position.
Congressional Squad members like AOC and ilhan Omar are just
thrilled to learn that the Minnesota governor is the running mate.
They're very excited about it. So doesn't that kind of
tell you everything? It really does, doesn't it? And I
(04:41):
don't understand why people are even pretending that he's a moderate.
There's so many things that make this guy a leftist extremist.
I mean, let's start with everything. Let's just start with that.
I guess a better question would be what are his
conservative or moderate positions? He has some I don't know
what they are. Pediatric medical mutilation. That's one of the
things he loves. Tim Walls calls Republicans weird people, but
(05:03):
he supports medically mutilating kids.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That doesn't sound very moderate. If a child runs away
to another state to seek these services, Minnesota will not
return the child to their parents. That's a law in
the state, take kids away from their parents if the
parents don't agree with their gender choices. A media immediately
after Obama chose Walls as Kamala's running mate, the LGBTQ
(05:29):
Plus Victory Fund, a progressive pack dedicated to electing LGBTQ candidates,
put out a press statement saying Governor Walls is a
strong ally for our community and he's going to help
him chop off little kids wieners. Okay, that's not quite
how they said it, but that was certainly the sentiment.
Tim Walls was among the first few Democrats to call
their political opponents weird. He was right on board with
(05:51):
all the talking points. These these are weird people on
the other side. They want to take books away, they
want to be in your exam room. That's what it
comes down to it. Don't you know get showding this.
It's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I think you know what I think is weird. Tim socialism,
socialism's weird. Tim Walls, who was once the choice of
Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, see socialism as a kind
in neighborliness. That's what he says. He says, don't shy
away from our progressive values. Progressive what's progressive about this?
Marxism's not progressive. It's been around for centuries. It clearly
(06:23):
doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Don't ever shy away mark progressive values. One person's socialism
is another person's neighborliness. Wow, there it is kids.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Walls's prospects surged following a string of high profile endorsements
like Bernie Sanders and ilhan Omar, members of the Hamas Caucus.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You know what he was really into those BLM riots.
Boy did he like the BLM riots.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
When radical Black Lives Matter militants rioted over George Floyd's death,
Tim Walls waited days to call in the National Guard.
His wife even hopped on social media to remind ther
followers that nobody would be getting arrested in the George
Floyd critical race theory riots. You know what, you would
get arrested though, for in the state of Minnesota not
(07:10):
adhering to the indoor mask mandate. Yeah, the governor issued
a memorandum mandating indoor masking and set up a hotline
so you could snitch on people back in April of
twenty twenty. And he loves him some open borders. He
signed something called the north Star Promise. It was a
scholarship program that gives applicants, including illegal immigrants, full tuition
(07:32):
free rides to public Minnesota colleges and universities. He loves abortion.
He's a climate alarmist. I mean again, I repeat the question,
what exactly are his moderate positions?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
This is Binney Santhus and you are listening to the
Pursuit of Happiness radio. Now give me all of your money,
because that's the only thing that's fair.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Walmart just issued an ice cream recall, so don't eat
the ice cream at Walmart. Something wrong with it. The
cent millions of Walmart customers scrambling to find something new
for breakfast. Really sad news for Walmart. They just wow,
I mean, it's not all sad. They topped the Fortune
Global five hundred ranking of the world's largest companies by revenue.
(08:12):
Walmart also topped the ranking of companies with the highest
amount of meth being cooked in their restrooms, so they
got that going for them. I guess it's not all bad. Meanwhile,
other news today from the business world, Google holds a
ninety percent market share among search engines. If you're saying
what about bing, then congrats on your job working at Bing.
I found out about all this at askjeeves dot com.
(08:34):
Remember ask Jeeves, No nobody.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Else does either.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Don't feel bad, hey, joining me in just a little bit.
Congressman Wesley Hunt should be stopping by the studio here
in the next few minutes to stick around for that,
but real quick. We have been enjoying the Summer Olympics.
I know I'm enjoying them. I hope you guys are.
We've seen a lot of Olympic actions so far, and
a lot of announcers saying dirty things when taken out
of context, like this and.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Now because it sound dirty in the Olympics, But aren't
I love.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That these two ladies are next to each other because
they can suck each other out. I've been through the
Olympics three times. It is hard. Action has been tight
so far. Look, we stayed a little wider on that
to open up good to poke it. They were virtually
stroke for stroke.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So it's another big one for the Americans, but not
as big as Martin Engi.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
But what the pullout hughes He takes it all here
in Paris.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Been a very long time coming.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
This has been things that sound dirty in the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
But aren't.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
No, that was that was in very poor taste. Guys,
I think we could do better than that, can't we? No,
apparently we can. I was just reading this report at
townhall dot com from Stephen Moore, and we're asking this
question this week, who is the real middle class president?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Right? Who is it?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Who's the candidate for the middle class? What is the
party of the middle class. It's almost hard to believe
Joe Biden's still the president because ever since he dropped
out of the race, so you don't hear much about him.
But Joe talked incessantly about his quote from the middle
class out economic strategy, from the middle class out. You
(10:11):
ever heard him say that? He said it many times now,
given his record, it would have been more accurate to
call it the middle class down and out plan. Inflation
wrote it away any income gains under Biden's presidency. Inflation
moving much faster than the salary increases in this country.
So then you got Vice President Kamala Harris. She's on
(10:32):
her own riff of this theme lately. Her campaign motto
is quote, building up the middle class. It doesn't exactly
make America great again. But Democrats don't have a lot
of time to come up with anything catch here. You know,
these things take. They take a little bit of incubation
to master a good motto. You need a good slogan,
don't you. It's true, make America great against fantastic, build
(10:57):
back better.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That sucked.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Joe Biden couldn't even say it. Kamala was reluctantly chosen
as the eighth inning relief pitcher for Old Joe. Joe
had long ago lost his fastball, But Kamala and Joe,
as the old saying goes, birds of a feather who
flock together they're running on almost precisely the same agenda
as we've seen for the past four years. The central
(11:19):
problem is that the record for most Americans is a
lot more meaningful than the message the irony of this
build the middle class man Trump. No administration in recent
times has done more to tear down the middle class.
The most recent Census Bureau data on incomes and poverty
shows that under Trump, incomes of the middle class rose
(11:40):
faster than under all three previous presidents combined. The difference
between Trump and Biden is eight thousand dollars per household
in Trump's favor. Here's something you won't see on MSNBC,
and this is important information. This data shows income gains
for minorities and female headed households and people in low
(12:01):
income neighborhoods. Poverty rates fell faster under Trump than they
did under Obama or George W or certainly Joe. So
the reason for the lousy Biden Harris records are that
even though incomes grew under both presidencies, inflation erased all
the real income gains for workers. In other words, if
the price of eggs and bread, and rent and gas
(12:22):
all went up more than your paycheck you're at best
treading water. Sounds familiar, doesn't it. For the majority of households,
you're using pots and pans to keep the water out
of the basement. Joe and Kamala seem to really believe
that inflation is transitory. They drank the kool aid of
a trendy new economic theory called, and this is your
(12:43):
phrase of the day, kids, modern monetary theory. Modern monetary
theories the idea that the US government could spend and
borrow till Kingdom come without any collateral damage. It turns
out that's not true. I mean, it's true that that's
a theory, it's not true in practice. But a high
school economics student, a kid in economics class in a
(13:06):
public school, could tell you that handing out free money
to stimulate demand for goods and services is likely to
raise the price of goods and services.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So what happened in the end. In the end, we
learned the hard way, the very difficult lesson, that there's
no getting around the old law of supply and demand.
Sorry Joe and Kamala to people that never worked in
the private sector. So, now that the economy is showing
signs of cracks in the Hill. The only Harris remedy
is trillions more spending and borrowing. Team Kamala thinks the
(13:39):
Fed can simply cut interest rates and all that pain's
just going to go away. Maybe, but what's more likely
is that it'll only stimulate more spending and make the
economy more vulnerable. What they won't do is cut excessive
government spending and debt. I'll give you an example by
canceling some one hundred billion dollars of failed green energy programs.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
They could actually fix the economy. But they're not going
to do that, are they. So the left shouts that
Trump is the one who will rekindle inflation with his
tax cuts, but that's a hard message to sell given
that there was virtually no inflation during Trump's term. His
average annuale inflation rate was one point nine versus the
six to ten we're now getting under Kamala and Joe.
(14:25):
Trump's going to continue to argue to the voters that
he is the president that will build out the middle class.
And even though it's hard to predict the future, I
think his history, the history of his presidency, is firmly
on his side right now. Anyway, It'll be interesting to
see where that goes. In the meantime, another report I
was just looking at here from the same news outlet,
(14:45):
details how jd Vance is responding to Kamala Harris skipping
over Josh Shapiro for VP. Josh is there's a reason
why we don't talk about Josh Shapiro much. Do you
get what it is? There's not a lot wrong with
him compared to other people in the Democrat Party. I mean,
we're very lucky Josh isn't the running mate. Josh would
(15:06):
have been a very reasonable guy. But when speaking about
Tim Walls, a funny quote here from Hewett, I really
enjoyed so that he makes Tim Kane seem like justin Timberlake.
He's the most boring man in America if it's not
Josh Shapiro, and that's because he'll be Jewish and because
he's a supporter of Israel. Hewitt then asked Vance, what
(15:28):
does that tell you about the Democrat Party if it's
not Josh Shapiro. Vance gave a great answer. He said,
I think that they will have not picked Shapiro, frankly,
out of the anti semitism in their own caucus, in
their own party. I think it's disgraceful that Democrats have
gotten to this point where it's even an open conversation,
and it's an open conversation. He's right about that, CNN predicted,
(15:51):
Oh on a panel, I mean overwhelmingly with no disagreement,
that Josh Shapiro would never be the running mate simply
because of his religious beliefs.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That's a lot on the liqual.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I look, you just such a pie hole and keep working.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Back to the pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Radios, it's a happiness radio.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Sending hello again, radio listeners. Greetings all of you, good afternoon,
good morning, and good day, depending on where you're watching
us right now, we're live on KPRC nine point fifty.
We're also live streaming on book Face and Acts and
the Tube of Us. And there's a reason we're live.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I always try to turn the cameras on when somebody
interesting walks in. Honestly, probably my favorite person in Congress,
and I'm biased here because he's a friend.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Of me, probably your face. He's a local guy. I
know you are. I just don't want to like, come on,
this is just shoot straight. My man, Wesley Hunt, the
congressman for the energy industry, The congressman for oil and
gas workers, not just in Houston, but I would argue
all over the country, and what is the state of
that right now? Are we?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know, do you feel optimistic about people getting their
jobs back?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
If you work on an oil.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Rig or I don't feel optimistic if Kamala Harris is
going to be our next president. To put it bluntly,
it's going to be four more years of a disaster
for what is the most important industry in our city
in Texas. In Houston, Texas is the fourth largest, going
to be third largest city in the entire country.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
And we run off of energy and oil and gas.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
And you brought up me being the energy Congressman of
the world, which I'm very very proud of. But it's
up to me to also protect those jobs. But it
starts on the top of the ticket. And if you
want more green New Deal, if you want more energy
to shut down, if you want more pipelines to shut down,
if you want America's second policies from an energy policy standpoint,
then Kamala Harris is going to deliver just on that.
(17:40):
So this election for us is very important for the
thriving economy that is Houston Texas, and I really hope
that people understand just how important that is.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Okay, so I'm sure the answer to this is obvious,
but it still needs to be asked, especially from you.
This is a woman that said she wanted to ban
fracking four years percent. Now she said she does it.
Her running mate basically the same thing. What exactly is
their position on track? You don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
In Minnesota, there's the largest cobalt fine in the world currently,
but it's on federal land, so we can't even touch it.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
And this guy is going to be the vice president,
so that kind of gives you an idea on how
that state operates. Now, if that we're here in Texas,
I mean, there'd be cobalt everywhere, the cold all over
the world because Texas is Houston, Texas, and Texas in
general is free. This is a free state. And you
don't want Minnesota running our country. You want Texas minded
(18:29):
people running our country. You want free states. You want
Floridians running our country, right, not guys like this.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
There is this argument to be made about all this
land out west that the federal government owns Utah and Nevada,
and you just pointed it out Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I don't even know about Minnesota. That's that's a crime
that nobody feels like.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I don't hear anybody in either party trying to solve
that right now. But you just pointed out that is
a real issue. The federal government sitting on land while
we're having a housing cost crisis in this country. I mean,
those two things aren't direc connected, but they kind of are.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Not just sitting on land, We're sitting on mineral rich land.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And I'm on the National Resources Committee, which is which
oversees the federal lands and drilling on federal lands and
that for resources. And so I'm looking at us empowering
Iran and empowering rogue nations like Venezuela. We saw what
just happened there because they don't have the cond restrictions
that we have. So why in God's name we take
this make it an issue of foreign policy and national
(19:27):
security when we could literally drill in mine safer and
better than anywhere in the entire world. But yet we
have an administration that has restricted that for the last
four years, and they're going to restrict it against you.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
They get back an office even further all right, I
got to ask you about this.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You and I were going over topics we want to
discuss right before we went on the air, and you
just reminded me of a big one that we didn't
mention here.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
You know a little something about Iraq and now Iraq
in there.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, you flew a helicopter around for a while, almost
died in Iraq. We watched some of your buddies go
through hell there and now, I mean, didn't we basically
fund their military and now they want to go to
war with Israel, So once again we have to fund
both sides of a war.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And so this is this is where President Trump always
talks about.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
He talks about peace through strength, and you have a
strong America and then you don't have to really worry
about wars because people actually respect what we say and
actually respect what we do, like we had for four
years under President Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
And we have no idea who's running our country right now.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Joe Biden got got sanctmoniously removed in forty eight hours
from being the president, and the most undemocratic thing I've
ever seen by putting Kamwell Harris that in that role
because he had COVID and then he woke up from
COVID and then he was no longer than nominee. So
if he's no longer than nominee for the next ninety days,
and how in the hell is the actually running our country?
And that's why the world is having a huge meltdown
(20:44):
because it's a free for all.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Right, there is no strong America, so now the world's weaker.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, and so how much longer until China goes after Taiwan?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I mean, that's the waiting for the results of the
next election. Do you think that's really what it?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Absolutely so I Kamalo wins. You think it's militant for them?
Have you seen the IOCs rules for Taiwan. Taiwan is
not allowed to call themselves Taiwan. Taiwan is not allowed
to use their flag, Like why do we let China
bully every major institution in the world.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Because they don't respect us?
Speaker 5 (21:13):
And again, China operates in dynasties, and so they're waiting
for the United States to just self implode. Then they
could be the monopole for the world because we are
their top competitor and they and they know that. And
while there are some serious fundamental issues in China and
how they can't feed their population and they're a massive country.
They still are looking ways to usurp our power. And
(21:35):
if they can destroy us from within, then they don't
have to fight our real war. They can go take
Taiwan whatever they want to. So if we if we
elect a week leader, then you're going to see strong
men like Jiji Ping and strong men like Vladimir put
I wanna call them strong men, bullies like these guys
that are going to go that are going to run
a monk. And that's why we have to have a
strong leader atop the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Way, I think, so you get a lot you, I mean, you,
having served in the military for so many years, understand
a lot more about this than most people do. What's
happening right now with Iraq and Syria and Yemen and
Israel is so much more complicated than most people think.
I think you and I discussed this last time we
were here, but they didn't call it World War two
until it was almost over. Yeah, are we in World
(22:16):
War three? I mean, there's these there's a continent. Ever,
almost every continent is a war happening right now. We're
on the verge of that.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
But keep in mind, for four years ago, we had
the Abraham Accords.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, that was nice that we had that.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yeah, we had the I mean President Trump moved the
embassy to Jerusalem, which was a sign that look, we're
going to support Israel, so don't mess with them.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Like that's the kind of peace through strength that I'm
talking about. President Trump walked across the DMZ. I mean,
that's some real strong energy that the world watches and
they say, well, we're gonna wait till this guy is gone.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And then what happens.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
He goes away four years is a free for all,
and then he's going to come back, and you watch
how fast the world snaps back into shape. I have
a bold prediction when President Trump wins in November, or
watch how fast all this foolishness stops. And I'm talking
about our border. I'm talking about being on the Virgin
World War three. I'm talking about the fighting just stopping.
And they'll win another four years when he's gone, because
(23:09):
nobody wants that smoke. And this is where, especially the
Middle East is always a powder keg. There are always
a few years away from having an all out war,
and it's been that way for generations. So when you
don't have a strong leader, this is just what happens.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, I mean it's absolutely true. All right.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
So right now everybody's discussing the prisoner trade that we
just had between Russia and Germany and how Trump would
have handled it differently.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
We have such a short memory when it comes to
the news.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Trump got those basketball players out of China without having
to give over.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
A pack of newports to some Bubblesious, that was it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Exactly like UCLA basketball players. Everybody forgot that. How about
asap Rocky the rapper in Sweden thanked Trump at the time,
then in the aftermath him and his Hollywood buddies are like, no, no,
Trump actually made it worse. I fully the Trump could
have gotten those people out of their Russian prison without
having to hand over more terror.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Have you seen President Trump shake Vladimir Putin's hands?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
No, he takes them out of his shoes basically, And
it's just like, you're not going to mess with us,
Like as simple as a strong handshake from a strong
leader ends a lot of this crap. And do you
see Joe Biden being able to negotiate that way? Do
you see Kamla. Do you see Kamala Harris being able
to negotiate that way?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
No? Absolutely not, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I don't get the impression that Kamala Harris is going
to be able to negotiate tough deals. I don't get
the impression that Kamala Harris is going to be able
to manage the economy given that she's never worked in
the private sector. What exactly is her strength? She has none.
She has none.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
And if you've noticed, for the past two weeks, since
since she was ordained to be the Democrat nominee, she
hasn't done a single interview in two weeks. So they're
playing the exact same playbook that they had in twenty
twenty with Joe Biden. They put him in the basement
and then they allow the appendages of the media to
carry out their message and then pray that the American
(25:03):
public are smart enough to realize what's happening.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
All right, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
We get why they didn't want Joe in front of
the cameras doing it.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I think we get one. We get it. He had dementia,
it has has it. Yeah, Yeah, it's very sad. What's
going on. I mean you probably have had family members
deal with it. I know I certainly have.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's really sad, right, why can't Kamala do an interview?
She's twenty years younger and hell sixty years old.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Why can't she? I mean, she's not the sharpest tool
to shit? Is that it? That's just really good.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
You've watched the interviews, You've watched her talk, you've watched
her speeches, the last few speeches that she's given. She
can read a teleprompter, which is okay, decent, but she
cannot take any question off script. You know, this morning
on Fox and Friends, President Trump called in and was
taking questions from people that were at Sturgis.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, it's remarkable, it's remarkable.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And then so everyone they complained about, well, you know,
if President Trump shouldn't say this, and he needs to
stick to policy, to stick to this or stick to that.
But the thing about President Trump that you know is
that he's in charge. He is the guy. When he
was president, the buck stopped with him, or rather you
like it or not, you knew who was in charge.
Right now, we have no idea who's in charge of
this country. We have no idea who's running it. Kamala
Harris isn't running it. Joe Biden's is his. He in
(26:15):
ice cream. And so what's going on is an issue
of national security in our in our country. Because the
buck stops with we don't know. I'm terrifying. I assume
it's Obama. But he picked the VP. He's the one
that apparently pressured Joe to step down. He's the one
that humiliated Joe on stage at that Hollywood fundraiser with
George Clooney.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And Jimmy Kim when he walked him off. Dude, you
could say a lot about Obama. He doesn't understand economics.
That guy knows stagecraft, he knows about optics. I think
he did that to get rid of Joe.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Well, I think, quite frankly, at this point Washington, how
this plane went down. I mean, the Democrats moved their
convention back a month, watched what we were going to do,
and then now they're reacting to what we're doing. You
don't just come up with a plan like that in
a few weeks. I think this has been the plan
for a very long time. This has purely speculation on
my part. But the coup that they pulled off takes planning,
and it takes time. And I personally believe in the
(27:09):
manner in which in the manner in which they did this,
in a manner in which they were able to coalesce
all the delegates around Kamala Harris within forty eight hours,
even though not a single one of them voted voted
for her in the primary season they voted for Joe Biden.
The way they did this is not something that you
just hash in forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
This is a plan.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
We got to talk about tim Walls, We got to
talk about what's going on the border. We have listeners
leaving questions in the comments section of this live video
as we stream on social media and on KPRC nine fifty,
we'll read some of your questions coming up. If you're
watching us streaming online, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
If you're listening on the radio, here's a quick word
from some sponsors.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Let's see here.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
A Paul found that six percent of adults say they
have eaten roadkill. I got to assume that's probably is
that the new breakfast bffet at Denny's. Is that what
they're talking about. Somebody went into Denny's recently. Did you
see this video online? And they were a gas to
learn it and it had become so expensive they were shocked.
And there was a video when it was basically just
a guy ordering pancakes. It got shared on TikTok, but
(28:24):
I don't look at TikTok, so I see all this
stuff a week later when it makes its way to Twitter.
And then there was this other pole that just came out.
It says fast food is now a luxury in America.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
There's a reason Americans are chubby. It's because fast food's
cheap and we eat it because it's convenient.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yes, Dold mean you right? Is that going to change now?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Like are Americans gonna get skinny because we can't afford
that anymore?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Or like your first date's going to be at McDonald's,
not like a real restaurant, but it's so expensive.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
That's it? Is that what it's coming to.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
I mean, that's how you're going to impress your lady
friend by taking her to McDonald's these days.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Boo could at Beppo just declared bankruptcy, Red Lobster declared bankruptcy.
These are the restaurants that average people go to when
they want to. Rich people don't go to Red Lobster. Like, look,
red Lobster's good. Everybody's had a cheddar Bay biscuit. But
the reason they declared bankruptcy is because average people can't
treat the.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Kid afford anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Yeah, that's not nothing that happened under Joe Biden, as
it did. And then also, we're driving around a corner
here we saw gas for four dollars or forty nine cents.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, well that gas station.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I know it's indicative though, Like I get it that
that's a really expensive one. I get it, But it's
indicative of what you're seeing in prices basically all throughout Texas,
which is an oil rich state too.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
By the way, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So I mean, if it's if it's that part, you know,
in the good part of town, if you want to
call it that, imagine where it is for everybody else's
flat on unaffordable.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, people are asking questions. Molly wants to know if
you are aware of whether or not Kamala has ever
gone to the border. Wesley Hunt, Congressman Wesley Hunt, here is.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
My understanding that the borders are has not gone to
the border. Now, I remember she went to South America
to find the root causes of immigration, but she did
not go to the border, and she refuses to go
to the border, and she hasn't gone for four years.
So that's something that as a military guy, as a leader,
when you're put in charge of something, at a minimum,
you at least like show up right. But this is
(30:08):
something that's a loser for them. And so if they
if she shows up to the border, even as the
borders are, then they're admitting that they've been wrong the
entire time. They're admitting that eleven million people entering our
country in a fit no ail to kill every American
six times, just complete lawlessness, the cartels running our southern border.
They are admitting that they facilitated that for the past
four years, if she even shows her face down there,
(30:28):
which is ridiculous, because this actually shouldn't be an issue
of democratic Republican and it shouldn't be a Parson issue.
This is a this is a sovereignty issue. It's a
sovereignty problem. And as somebody that fought for this country,
I fought to keep terrorists, to keep bad guys out
of our country. And then now we have over two
hundred people on terrorists watch lists walking across the border.
And so these are the kind of policy issues that
(30:49):
we as a party have got to continue to hammer
home that do you want Minnesota, do you want California
policies to run our country or not? The answer is
absolutely is hell no. And Wolltz was the arbiter of
the Summer of Love in his own state. He didn't
absolutely nothing about it, and which to me is really
weird because this is a military guy. This is a singer,
(31:09):
and CEO is a master sergeant, and you've mean to
tell me that you're okay, You're okay with flag burning
and the destruction of the country that you served.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I haven't read it yet, but there's a report going
around where people claim that his military service wasn't as
honorable as some.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Claim that it was. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I'm not going to wax intellectual on something I don't
know about, but that's the thing people are saying today
on social media. But to go back to something else
you were just talking about there, it is incredible to
see the Soviet esque. There's no other way to describe it.
Erasing from news articles, blog posts, tweets that everybody saw
about how Kamala as the borders are. She famously gave
(31:45):
this speech where she told people in Central America do
not come, do nott come, God come. And I know
people on social media have added that together in inappropriate
ways and stuff, but a right, but all jokes aside.
Everybody's seen that video. Why else was she giving that speech?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Well, because again this goes to a person that is
clearly in favor of lawlessness in this country. We saw
when she was a prosecutor in California. We've seen her
failures as the borders are. We now see the appendages
of the media having the memory holding everything that she
has said and done. They have turned this woman into
(32:21):
a mashup between Joan of Arc and Harriet Tubman, as
if we didn't watch this disaster that she was for
the past four years. And even Democrats were backing on
her for the past four years. But when they realized
that they cannot win with Joe Biden, they had to
replace his face with somebody. She's all they had. And
so now you have somebody that's that's going that could
potentially be the president of the University of America. And
(32:43):
this person won't do an interview, she won't do anything
off teleprompter.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
This is horrible for the United States. Who's in charge?
Speaker 5 (32:52):
And do you want to give her the keys to
the to the to the to the nuclear codes? Now
you want her negotiating with jijingping? Now do you want
her her negotiating with Vladimir Putin? A person that can't
even go to the border to visit and knowing dog
going well that it is a Cleveland stinker for the
Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
That's a perfect way to explain it. All right, I
want to talk about you before we run out of
time here.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
If you just turn it on your radio, that's a
very familiar voice to Texas Republicans. Congressman Wesley Hunt is
in studio right now. Wesley, you most people watch you
on TV and they see you with the Trump campaign,
but you haven't missed a vote. You've been very active
with what's going on in Congress. You've been in Capitol
Hill this whole time. You're constantly on an airplane with
your team going to do campaign rallies and then right
(33:34):
back to Washington, d C. They send you down to
the Virgin Islands, they send you to Iowa, but you've
actually things have happened inside the Beltway that your team
has been working on. And I don't think I don't
think everybody hears about that as much as they hear
about this election that involves the president dropping out and
the other guy getting shot. And I mean, you get
why that dominates the headlines, but what the heck's going
on with you?
Speaker 5 (33:54):
So you know, that's actually a really funny thing about Congress,
and that's like, that's like ten percent of what we do.
Most of what we do actually is working for the
tax paying members of my district and doing right by them.
And that ranges from you know, closing over twenty three
hundred cases that that goes to our returning over eleven
million dollars from the RRS back to the people in
(34:15):
my district. We are very very proud of that, and
my team here in this district works tirelessly to get
stuff done for the people here. And so that's what
I hope, you know, the listener right now understands that
it's way more than just national politics.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
It's way more than a vitriol that you see on TV.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
We actually do a pretty good job working for what
I think is the best district in the entire country
and getting stuff done for the people in this district.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
That's actually the bulk of my job.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
You don't see that, you won't hear about it, but
that's literally what we do, and I'm very, very proud
of that effort.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, it's not a sexy headline, you know, it's not
a salacious or egregious or whatever. Congressman Wesley Hunt votes
on policy that is local constituents agree with. There's usually
a headline, you see. But you have been going back
and forth a lot lately, and I'm grateful for that.
You've been working with Mike Johnson, and hopefully if we
could take the Senate back in November, we can get
some of these conservative bills you guys have passed in
(35:06):
the House, pushed HR.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Two, yeah, HR one, HR two that they can't even
get out of center right now because we don't have
a majority, and they're really good bills that we voted
on for over a year ago, and it talks about
unleashing American energy, it talks about having a secure border.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
They're really good stuff.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
But again, you know, when you have a Democrat run
Senate and Joe Biden Kamala Harris on top of the ticket.
There's nothing that you could actually get done, and so
that's why this election is a Bill Weather election for
this country.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah. Man, it's a great point and I love to
hear it. You are obviously a long time, lifelong resident
of Texas. A lot of Texas athletes and Houston athletes
getting medals in the Olympics right now. Everybody's excited about Shikari,
everybody's excited about a Simone.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
But of course some of the other.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Things dominating in the headlines at the Olympics are the
very bizarre opening ceremony, the transgender boxers. You're an athlete,
you work out all the time, you have a history
of being involved in sports.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
What do you think when you see that? What a shame? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
I remember growing up and when the Olympics, you know,
would come on, it was like it was a it
was a thing of pride. I remember being at Fort Hood,
Texas when when Michael Phelps and that and that and
that and that four By wanted me to relay when
they were able to win it on the last leg
against against against France, and I remember being filled with
so much pride. I was at a bar near Fort Hood, Texas,
and everybody in the bar was chanting USA, USA. And
(36:24):
then now they're subjecting us to all of this woke
stuff in France that quite frankly, is flat out weird.
And nobody watches the Olympics for political banter. We watched
the Olympics to see our country do well. We watched
the Olympics too, to see these gold medal winners and
to hear our national anthem being played. It's it's supposed
to be a getaway, right, and they've they've completely ruined
(36:46):
it for people like me.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, I know they've They've made it weird. It's weird. Yeah,
they made it weird.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Some people have pointed out they said they never disrespect
Muslims the way they disrespected Christians, and they ought.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
To take ceremony.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
But there was a part if you watch it, where
they show the Saudi Arabia and athletes, and then they
show the weird cross dressers, and then they show the
athletes from United Arab Emirates and then they show the.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Weird cross treasures.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Would I would think as a Muslim, I'd be kind
of upset about that, But anyway, I guess it's besides
the point, Wellsley, you're in town right now. You just
mentioned fort Hood and wokeism. Technically I think it's called
Fort Cavazos.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Now, what do you think about that? This forethood? I mean,
it's always gonna be fort Hood, this forethood. I don't
I don't play that. I don't play those games.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
I think that you know the history of this country
and the fact that you know we've come a very
long way.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
For me talk about my family history.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
I'm the direct descendant of a slave, and here i am,
you know, the congressman for a white majority district in
a stronghold for President Trump, here in the suburb of Houston, Texas.
And I'm very very proud as a black man to
be able to represent not just black people, but all
Americans in my district can become a very long way.
Changing the names on buildings and changing the names on
on on forts and basis is ridiculous. In fact, that's
(37:55):
where our history was. And if we don't remember our
history as it was, and we are doomed to repeat it. Right,
And somebody like Wesley Hunt is not is not defined
by a name on a building or what a ford
is named, because it was named after a Confederate general.
And no point did I drive one of ford Hood
and say I can't go to work today because it's
named after a Confederate general.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
It never happened, and it never it never will happen.
So let's like talk about why it was named that.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Let's talk about where we were as a country, you know,
thirty forty fifty one hundred years ago, and let's let's
applaud our progress it continue to move forward.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
A couple questions before we run out of time here
about local politics. Lena Hidalgo missing an action when Kamala
comes to town. Everybody was suspicious about that. Shila Jackson
Lee passes away, Rest in peace. I'm not gonna you know,
I'm not gonna back to back. Yeah, she's gone. Kim
Ogg endorsing your buddy Ted Cruz. A lot of weird
excitement going on with local Democrats here in Houston lately.
You got any thoughts on what you've seen from from
(38:50):
the sidelines where you're watching from.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
We live in very interesting times now, kay, If you're
not paying attention, Oh yeah, no, I know. We live
in very interesting times, and I think time for us,
especially we as Texas to step up and stand for something,
and I think I think Ted Cruise is going to
be just fine. But again, nothing is going to be
a walk in the park. Neither is this election going
to be in November. It's not going to be a
walk in the park because we live in such a
(39:13):
strange time, so we have to fight tooth and nail
for everything that we want for the future of our country.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Do you think in November you're going to be joined
by well, I guess January you'll be joined by a
Congressman Sylvester Turner the next time you are in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Voting.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
I find that I find that to be, you know,
a very interesting shift turn of events.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I literally did not see that coming.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
You know, the thing the thing about Congress right now
is that this is I'm not an agist, and people
can do their job depending on how regardless of how
old they are.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I want the best person for the job.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
But I will tell you this, Kenny, I'm twenty years
below the average age in Congress. And that's actually you're
part of the problem. Yeah, you're You're a kid compared
to them, So you're a millennial. You know, I haven't
voted for any spending bills. So I haven't voted for
you know, adding two trillion dollars a year to ride
that and running a two trillion dollar definicit. You know why,
because I'm going to be alive in the next twenty
years and I have a five or three and a
(40:05):
one year old. So the problem is is that we
have a lot of people that go to Washington and like,
no offense to them, but when they're a little bit older,
they don't they don't think of their lives that way.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Their children are grown, their.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Children are already off doing things in the world, and
they and they're at retirement age. So when they when
they cast these votes for stuff, they're voting for things
that they probably won't be around for the next twenty years.
And that's a part of the problem. We need younger
people voting for this stuff. We need younger people in Congress. Why,
because we have skin in the game, we have young children.
We are thinking about the future of this country, right
(40:35):
And so that's my concern. You know, whenever I see,
you know, an opportunity to have some you know, some
young blood and what is a very important seat here
in Houston, Texas kind of start to step up. And
this is this is no shade to Semester Turner and
his age and a service as as the mayor of
this city.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I think it's tom start turning to fage here. I mean,
let me so so so.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Ms McConnell is eighty years old. Nancy Pelosi is eighty
years old. Isn't at Trump is seventy eight years old.
Joe Biden is two hundred and thirteen years old, and
so at some point we got to kind of we
got to look at this. We have to say, you know,
it's top for that next generation of leadership to get
some experience now for the future of our country.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Congressman Wesley Hunt, always good to see you back in Houston, Texas.
I love that your team is always in town helping
people out. I think part of the reason is because
we have better barbecue here than they have in Washington.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
But there's no barbacoo in Washington. It's not real wife, kids,
a newborn baby boy. Everybody doing okay, everyone's doing wonderfully.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
But there and I were right now visiting the in laws,
and so so I get to kind of come here
for a few days be geographic bachelor and work and
work with it within a district, which I'm absolutely glad
to do.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
But I've had neck up there this weekend.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
I know that people from Houston know that Wesley is
one of the most popular local politicians and that he's
probably a shoe in this November. But it still doesn't
change the fact that if you go to Wesley for
Texas dot Com, make a donation, you can volunteer. They're
always looking for people to join the team. You want
to get out and block walk help out with the
mega campaign. Wesley Hunt is a local spoke person for
(42:00):
him and his team is on the front lines of
that battle.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
My man, it's always awesome to start guy pleasure. God
bless your brother. Thanks for having me. To the rest
of you, thank you for watching. If you're watching us
on social media, share this video to the rest of you.
Drive safe. We'll be back bright and early tomorrow morning
for more of what you bought a radio for. You
are listening to the pursuit of having this radio, tell
(42:26):
the government to kiss your ass. When you're listen to
this show,
The jiganic government sucks. Suit of Happiness Radio is dus.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A Suit of
Happiness us on your radio tole justice, Jeezburgers a Liby
rise at the food happen Us time.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
A man in North Carolina just got arrested. He got
arrested for assaulting a Low's employee with a sledgehammer.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Wow, I bet I know his favorite Peter Gabriel song. Hi,
thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be that kind of show today.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Thanks for turning around the radio.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Kenny Webster here my guest at the bottom of the hour,
Congressman Wesley Hunt.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Stick around for him.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
He will be in studio and if you want to
be part of that conversation, you can actually join us
on social media. Will be live streaming, so look out
for that. In the meantime, I am just learning more
about Kamala Harris's choice for VP. I'm sorry I probably
didn't explain that correctly. Barack Obama's choice for Kamala Harris's
(01:11):
VP pick. Yeah, Kamala didn't get to pick. Do you
think Do you think Kamala and Joe get to make
important decisions like who's going to be the Democrat ticket
running mate. No, no, no, Barack Obama made that decision.
That's a well known fact. It's not a shock to anybody.
But I'm learning more about the guy. I'll give an
example of what I'm talking about. Nancy Pelosi just did
(01:31):
this interview where she told NBC News she said, actually, uh,
even though she likes Josh Shapiro, despite the fact that
he's a Jew, she doesn't understand why everybody's making a
big deal about Kamala Harris's running mate. The guy that
they actually picked Tim Walls because he's not a leftist.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Many good choices among the six, and certainly among the two.
I'm a big fan of Governor Shapiro. Tim Walls, I
know very well. Let's say you served in the House.
Characterize him as left is so unreal.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh oh, he's not on the left.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's weird because Tim Walls was once giving a speech
to a bunch of abortion rights activists and he told
them that he told them Nancy Pelosi reached out to
him and privately told him he was too far to
the left.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And my record is so pro choice. Nancy Pelosi asked
me if I should tone it down.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, Walls is so pro baby murder. Nancy Pelosi told
him to chill on his rhetoric. Townhall dot Com today
reporting on the propaganda campaign heavily aided by the leftist
press well underway to paint Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is
a normal, folksy Democrat. After Kamala Harris, Barack Obama selected
(02:47):
him as Kamala's twenty twenty four running mate. But the
organization taking credit for the Walls choices telling and bolstering
his far left record in Minnesota. And I not only
are they bragging about the fact that they picked him,
but it's the people that are doing it that's so interesting.
This explains why Harris didn't choose Pennsylvanvania Governor Josh Shapiro,
(03:07):
or maybe we should say why Barack Obama didn't choose
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Listen to this statement that was
just released by the Democratic Socialists of America quote Harris
choosing Walls as a running mate has shown the world
the DSA and our allies on the left are a
force that cannot be ignored. Through collective action, Democratic Socialists
(03:31):
of America and the USA left more broadly have made
it clear that change is needed. Democratic Socialists of America
members organized in our workplaces and unions to realign the
labor movement to support Palestinian liberation.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Wow, there it is. Kids. They picked this guy because
he doesn't think Israel deserves to be a state.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They put more in there's press statement here. I find
this part kind of interesting. Listen to this. The uncommitted movement,
in which DSA members played crucial roles nationally and in
multiple states, pressured the Democratic establishment into choosing a new
candidate and backing down from a potential VP with direct
ties to the IDF.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know they're talking about Josh Shapiro. The Jew can't
have a Jew. Oh no, no Jews. The Democrats don't
like Jews.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I mean, they like their money and donations and support,
but they don't actually want them in a high ranking position.
Congressional Squad members like AOC and ilhan Omar are just
thrilled to learn that the Minnesota governor is the running mate.
They're very excited about it. So doesn't that kind of
tell you everything? It really does, doesn't it? And I
(04:41):
don't understand why people are even pretending that he's a moderate.
There's so many things that make this guy a leftist extremist.
I mean, let's start with everything. Let's just start with that.
I guess a better question would be what are his
conservative or moderate positions? He has some I don't know
what they are. Pediatric medical mutilation. That's one of the
things he loves. Tim Walls calls Republicans weird people, but
(05:03):
he supports medically mutilating kids.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That doesn't sound very moderate. If a child runs away
to another state to seek these services, Minnesota will not
return the child to their parents. That's a law in
the state, take kids away from their parents if the
parents don't agree with their gender choices. A media immediately
after Obama chose Walls as Kamala's running mate, the LGBTQ
(05:29):
Plus Victory Fund, a progressive pack dedicated to electing LGBTQ candidates,
put out a press statement saying Governor Walls is a
strong ally for our community and he's going to help
him chop off little kids wieners. Okay, that's not quite
how they said it, but that was certainly the sentiment.
Tim Walls was among the first few Democrats to call
their political opponents weird. He was right on board with
(05:51):
all the talking points. These these are weird people on
the other side. They want to take books away, they
want to be in your exam room. That's what it
comes down to it. Don't you know get showding this.
It's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I think you know what I think is weird. Tim socialism,
socialism's weird. Tim Walls, who was once the choice of
Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, see socialism as a kind
in neighborliness. That's what he says. He says, don't shy
away from our progressive values. Progressive what's progressive about this?
Marxism's not progressive. It's been around for centuries. It clearly
(06:23):
doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Don't ever shy away mark progressive values. One person's socialism
is another person's neighborliness. Wow, there it is kids.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Walls's prospects surged following a string of high profile endorsements
like Bernie Sanders and ilhan Omar, members of the Hamas Caucus.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You know what he was really into those BLM riots.
Boy did he like the BLM riots.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
When radical Black Lives Matter militants rioted over George Floyd's death,
Tim Walls waited days to call in the National Guard.
His wife even hopped on social media to remind ther
followers that nobody would be getting arrested in the George
Floyd critical race theory riots. You know what, you would
get arrested though, for in the state of Minnesota not
(07:10):
adhering to the indoor mask mandate. Yeah, the governor issued
a memorandum mandating indoor masking and set up a hotline
so you could snitch on people back in April of
twenty twenty. And he loves him some open borders. He
signed something called the north Star Promise. It was a
scholarship program that gives applicants, including illegal immigrants, full tuition
(07:32):
free rides to public Minnesota colleges and universities. He loves abortion.
He's a climate alarmist. I mean again, I repeat the question,
what exactly are his moderate positions?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
This is Binney Santhus and you are listening to the
Pursuit of Happiness radio. Now give me all of your money,
because that's the only thing that's fair.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Walmart just issued an ice cream recall, so don't eat
the ice cream at Walmart. Something wrong with it. The
cent millions of Walmart customers scrambling to find something new
for breakfast. Really sad news for Walmart. They just wow,
I mean, it's not all sad. They topped the Fortune
Global five hundred ranking of the world's largest companies by revenue.
(08:12):
Walmart also topped the ranking of companies with the highest
amount of meth being cooked in their restrooms, so they
got that going for them. I guess it's not all bad. Meanwhile,
other news today from the business world, Google holds a
ninety percent market share among search engines. If you're saying
what about bing, then congrats on your job working at Bing.
I found out about all this at askjeeves dot com.
(08:34):
Remember ask Jeeves, No nobody.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Else does either.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Don't feel bad, hey, joining me in just a little bit.
Congressman Wesley Hunt should be stopping by the studio here
in the next few minutes to stick around for that,
but real quick. We have been enjoying the Summer Olympics.
I know I'm enjoying them. I hope you guys are.
We've seen a lot of Olympic actions so far, and
a lot of announcers saying dirty things when taken out
of context, like this and.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Now because it sound dirty in the Olympics, But aren't
I love.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That these two ladies are next to each other because
they can suck each other out. I've been through the
Olympics three times. It is hard. Action has been tight
so far. Look, we stayed a little wider on that
to open up good to poke it. They were virtually
stroke for stroke.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So it's another big one for the Americans, but not
as big as Martin Engi.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
But what the pullout hughes He takes it all here
in Paris.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Been a very long time coming.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
This has been things that sound dirty in the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
But aren't.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
No, that was that was in very poor taste. Guys,
I think we could do better than that, can't we? No,
apparently we can. I was just reading this report at
townhall dot com from Stephen Moore, and we're asking this
question this week, who is the real middle class president?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Right? Who is it?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Who's the candidate for the middle class? What is the
party of the middle class. It's almost hard to believe
Joe Biden's still the president because ever since he dropped
out of the race, so you don't hear much about him.
But Joe talked incessantly about his quote from the middle
class out economic strategy, from the middle class out. You
(10:11):
ever heard him say that? He said it many times now,
given his record, it would have been more accurate to
call it the middle class down and out plan. Inflation
wrote it away any income gains under Biden's presidency. Inflation
moving much faster than the salary increases in this country.
So then you got Vice President Kamala Harris. She's on
(10:32):
her own riff of this theme lately. Her campaign motto
is quote, building up the middle class. It doesn't exactly
make America great again. But Democrats don't have a lot
of time to come up with anything catch here. You know,
these things take. They take a little bit of incubation
to master a good motto. You need a good slogan,
don't you. It's true, make America great against fantastic, build
(10:57):
back better.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That sucked.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Joe Biden couldn't even say it. Kamala was reluctantly chosen
as the eighth inning relief pitcher for Old Joe. Joe
had long ago lost his fastball, But Kamala and Joe,
as the old saying goes, birds of a feather who
flock together they're running on almost precisely the same agenda
as we've seen for the past four years. The central
(11:19):
problem is that the record for most Americans is a
lot more meaningful than the message the irony of this
build the middle class man Trump. No administration in recent
times has done more to tear down the middle class.
The most recent Census Bureau data on incomes and poverty
shows that under Trump, incomes of the middle class rose
(11:40):
faster than under all three previous presidents combined. The difference
between Trump and Biden is eight thousand dollars per household
in Trump's favor. Here's something you won't see on MSNBC,
and this is important information. This data shows income gains
for minorities and female headed households and people in low
(12:01):
income neighborhoods. Poverty rates fell faster under Trump than they
did under Obama or George W or certainly Joe. So
the reason for the lousy Biden Harris records are that
even though incomes grew under both presidencies, inflation erased all
the real income gains for workers. In other words, if
the price of eggs and bread, and rent and gas
(12:22):
all went up more than your paycheck you're at best
treading water. Sounds familiar, doesn't it. For the majority of households,
you're using pots and pans to keep the water out
of the basement. Joe and Kamala seem to really believe
that inflation is transitory. They drank the kool aid of
a trendy new economic theory called, and this is your
(12:43):
phrase of the day, kids, modern monetary theory. Modern monetary
theories the idea that the US government could spend and
borrow till Kingdom come without any collateral damage. It turns
out that's not true. I mean, it's true that that's
a theory, it's not true in practice. But a high
school economics student, a kid in economics class in a
(13:06):
public school, could tell you that handing out free money
to stimulate demand for goods and services is likely to
raise the price of goods and services.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So what happened in the end. In the end, we
learned the hard way, the very difficult lesson, that there's
no getting around the old law of supply and demand.
Sorry Joe and Kamala to people that never worked in
the private sector. So, now that the economy is showing
signs of cracks in the Hill. The only Harris remedy
is trillions more spending and borrowing. Team Kamala thinks the
(13:39):
Fed can simply cut interest rates and all that pain's
just going to go away. Maybe, but what's more likely
is that it'll only stimulate more spending and make the
economy more vulnerable. What they won't do is cut excessive
government spending and debt. I'll give you an example by
canceling some one hundred billion dollars of failed green energy programs.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
They could actually fix the economy. But they're not going
to do that, are they. So the left shouts that
Trump is the one who will rekindle inflation with his
tax cuts, but that's a hard message to sell given
that there was virtually no inflation during Trump's term. His
average annuale inflation rate was one point nine versus the
six to ten we're now getting under Kamala and Joe.
(14:25):
Trump's going to continue to argue to the voters that
he is the president that will build out the middle class.
And even though it's hard to predict the future, I
think his history, the history of his presidency, is firmly
on his side right now. Anyway, It'll be interesting to
see where that goes. In the meantime, another report I
was just looking at here from the same news outlet,
(14:45):
details how jd Vance is responding to Kamala Harris skipping
over Josh Shapiro for VP. Josh is there's a reason
why we don't talk about Josh Shapiro much. Do you
get what it is? There's not a lot wrong with
him compared to other people in the Democrat Party. I mean,
we're very lucky Josh isn't the running mate. Josh would
(15:06):
have been a very reasonable guy. But when speaking about
Tim Walls, a funny quote here from Hewett, I really
enjoyed so that he makes Tim Kane seem like justin Timberlake.
He's the most boring man in America if it's not
Josh Shapiro, and that's because he'll be Jewish and because
he's a supporter of Israel. Hewitt then asked Vance, what
(15:28):
does that tell you about the Democrat Party if it's
not Josh Shapiro. Vance gave a great answer. He said,
I think that they will have not picked Shapiro, frankly,
out of the anti semitism in their own caucus, in
their own party. I think it's disgraceful that Democrats have
gotten to this point where it's even an open conversation,
and it's an open conversation. He's right about that, CNN predicted,
(15:51):
Oh on a panel, I mean overwhelmingly with no disagreement,
that Josh Shapiro would never be the running mate simply
because of his religious beliefs.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That's a lot on the liqual.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I look, you just such a pie hole and keep working.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Back to the pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Radios, it's a happiness radio.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Sending hello again, radio listeners. Greetings all of you, good afternoon,
good morning, and good day, depending on where you're watching
us right now, we're live on KPRC nine point fifty.
We're also live streaming on book Face and Acts and
the Tube of Us. And there's a reason we're live.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I always try to turn the cameras on when somebody
interesting walks in. Honestly, probably my favorite person in Congress,
and I'm biased here because he's a friend.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Of me, probably your face. He's a local guy. I
know you are. I just don't want to like, come on,
this is just shoot straight. My man, Wesley Hunt, the
congressman for the energy industry, The congressman for oil and
gas workers, not just in Houston, but I would argue
all over the country, and what is the state of
that right now? Are we?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know, do you feel optimistic about people getting their
jobs back?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
If you work on an oil.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Rig or I don't feel optimistic if Kamala Harris is
going to be our next president. To put it bluntly,
it's going to be four more years of a disaster
for what is the most important industry in our city
in Texas. In Houston, Texas is the fourth largest, going
to be third largest city in the entire country.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
And we run off of energy and oil and gas.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
And you brought up me being the energy Congressman of
the world, which I'm very very proud of. But it's
up to me to also protect those jobs. But it
starts on the top of the ticket. And if you
want more green New Deal, if you want more energy
to shut down, if you want more pipelines to shut down,
if you want America's second policies from an energy policy standpoint,
then Kamala Harris is going to deliver just on that.
(17:40):
So this election for us is very important for the
thriving economy that is Houston Texas, and I really hope
that people understand just how important that is.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Okay, so I'm sure the answer to this is obvious,
but it still needs to be asked, especially from you.
This is a woman that said she wanted to ban
fracking four years percent. Now she said she does it.
Her running mate basically the same thing. What exactly is
their position on track? You don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
In Minnesota, there's the largest cobalt fine in the world currently,
but it's on federal land, so we can't even touch it.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
And this guy is going to be the vice president,
so that kind of gives you an idea on how
that state operates. Now, if that we're here in Texas,
I mean, there'd be cobalt everywhere, the cold all over
the world because Texas is Houston, Texas, and Texas in
general is free. This is a free state. And you
don't want Minnesota running our country. You want Texas minded
(18:29):
people running our country. You want free states. You want
Floridians running our country, right, not guys like this.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
There is this argument to be made about all this
land out west that the federal government owns Utah and Nevada,
and you just pointed it out Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I don't even know about Minnesota. That's that's a crime
that nobody feels like.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I don't hear anybody in either party trying to solve
that right now. But you just pointed out that is
a real issue. The federal government sitting on land while
we're having a housing cost crisis in this country. I mean,
those two things aren't direc connected, but they kind of are.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Not just sitting on land, We're sitting on mineral rich land.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And I'm on the National Resources Committee, which is which
oversees the federal lands and drilling on federal lands and
that for resources. And so I'm looking at us empowering
Iran and empowering rogue nations like Venezuela. We saw what
just happened there because they don't have the cond restrictions
that we have. So why in God's name we take
this make it an issue of foreign policy and national
(19:27):
security when we could literally drill in mine safer and
better than anywhere in the entire world. But yet we
have an administration that has restricted that for the last
four years, and they're going to restrict it against you.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
They get back an office even further all right, I
got to ask you about this.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You and I were going over topics we want to
discuss right before we went on the air, and you
just reminded me of a big one that we didn't
mention here.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
You know a little something about Iraq and now Iraq
in there.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, you flew a helicopter around for a while, almost
died in Iraq. We watched some of your buddies go
through hell there and now, I mean, didn't we basically
fund their military and now they want to go to
war with Israel, So once again we have to fund
both sides of a war.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And so this is this is where President Trump always
talks about.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
He talks about peace through strength, and you have a
strong America and then you don't have to really worry
about wars because people actually respect what we say and
actually respect what we do, like we had for four
years under President Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
And we have no idea who's running our country right now.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Joe Biden got got sanctmoniously removed in forty eight hours
from being the president, and the most undemocratic thing I've
ever seen by putting Kamwell Harris that in that role
because he had COVID and then he woke up from
COVID and then he was no longer than nominee. So
if he's no longer than nominee for the next ninety days,
and how in the hell is the actually running our country?
And that's why the world is having a huge meltdown
(20:44):
because it's a free for all.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Right, there is no strong America, so now the world's weaker.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, and so how much longer until China goes after Taiwan?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I mean, that's the waiting for the results of the
next election. Do you think that's really what it?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Absolutely so I Kamalo wins. You think it's militant for them?
Have you seen the IOCs rules for Taiwan. Taiwan is
not allowed to call themselves Taiwan. Taiwan is not allowed
to use their flag, Like why do we let China
bully every major institution in the world.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Because they don't respect us?
Speaker 5 (21:13):
And again, China operates in dynasties, and so they're waiting
for the United States to just self implode. Then they
could be the monopole for the world because we are
their top competitor and they and they know that. And
while there are some serious fundamental issues in China and
how they can't feed their population and they're a massive country.
They still are looking ways to usurp our power. And
(21:35):
if they can destroy us from within, then they don't
have to fight our real war. They can go take
Taiwan whatever they want to. So if we if we
elect a week leader, then you're going to see strong
men like Jiji Ping and strong men like Vladimir put
I wanna call them strong men, bullies like these guys
that are going to go that are going to run
a monk. And that's why we have to have a
strong leader atop the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Way, I think, so you get a lot you, I mean, you,
having served in the military for so many years, understand
a lot more about this than most people do. What's
happening right now with Iraq and Syria and Yemen and
Israel is so much more complicated than most people think.
I think you and I discussed this last time we
were here, but they didn't call it World War two
until it was almost over. Yeah, are we in World
(22:16):
War three? I mean, there's these there's a continent. Ever,
almost every continent is a war happening right now. We're
on the verge of that.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
But keep in mind, for four years ago, we had
the Abraham Accords.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, that was nice that we had that.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yeah, we had the I mean President Trump moved the
embassy to Jerusalem, which was a sign that look, we're
going to support Israel, so don't mess with them.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Like that's the kind of peace through strength that I'm
talking about. President Trump walked across the DMZ. I mean,
that's some real strong energy that the world watches and
they say, well, we're gonna wait till this guy is gone.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And then what happens.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
He goes away four years is a free for all,
and then he's going to come back, and you watch
how fast the world snaps back into shape. I have
a bold prediction when President Trump wins in November, or
watch how fast all this foolishness stops. And I'm talking
about our border. I'm talking about being on the Virgin
World War three. I'm talking about the fighting just stopping.
And they'll win another four years when he's gone, because
(23:09):
nobody wants that smoke. And this is where, especially the
Middle East is always a powder keg. There are always
a few years away from having an all out war,
and it's been that way for generations. So when you
don't have a strong leader, this is just what happens.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, I mean it's absolutely true. All right.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
So right now everybody's discussing the prisoner trade that we
just had between Russia and Germany and how Trump would
have handled it differently.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
We have such a short memory when it comes to
the news.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Trump got those basketball players out of China without having
to give over.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
A pack of newports to some Bubblesious, that was it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Exactly like UCLA basketball players. Everybody forgot that. How about
asap Rocky the rapper in Sweden thanked Trump at the time,
then in the aftermath him and his Hollywood buddies are like, no, no,
Trump actually made it worse. I fully the Trump could
have gotten those people out of their Russian prison without
having to hand over more terror.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Have you seen President Trump shake Vladimir Putin's hands?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
No, he takes them out of his shoes basically, And
it's just like, you're not going to mess with us,
Like as simple as a strong handshake from a strong
leader ends a lot of this crap. And do you
see Joe Biden being able to negotiate that way? Do
you see Kamla. Do you see Kamala Harris being able
to negotiate that way?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
No? Absolutely not, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I don't get the impression that Kamala Harris is going
to be able to negotiate tough deals. I don't get
the impression that Kamala Harris is going to be able
to manage the economy given that she's never worked in
the private sector. What exactly is her strength? She has none.
She has none.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
And if you've noticed, for the past two weeks, since
since she was ordained to be the Democrat nominee, she
hasn't done a single interview in two weeks. So they're
playing the exact same playbook that they had in twenty
twenty with Joe Biden. They put him in the basement
and then they allow the appendages of the media to
carry out their message and then pray that the American
(25:03):
public are smart enough to realize what's happening.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
All right, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
We get why they didn't want Joe in front of
the cameras doing it.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I think we get one. We get it. He had dementia,
it has has it. Yeah, Yeah, it's very sad. What's
going on. I mean you probably have had family members
deal with it. I know I certainly have.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's really sad, right, why can't Kamala do an interview?
She's twenty years younger and hell sixty years old.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Why can't she? I mean, she's not the sharpest tool
to shit? Is that it? That's just really good.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
You've watched the interviews, You've watched her talk, you've watched
her speeches, the last few speeches that she's given. She
can read a teleprompter, which is okay, decent, but she
cannot take any question off script. You know, this morning
on Fox and Friends, President Trump called in and was
taking questions from people that were at Sturgis.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, it's remarkable, it's remarkable.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And then so everyone they complained about, well, you know,
if President Trump shouldn't say this, and he needs to
stick to policy, to stick to this or stick to that.
But the thing about President Trump that you know is
that he's in charge. He is the guy. When he
was president, the buck stopped with him, or rather you
like it or not, you knew who was in charge.
Right now, we have no idea who's in charge of
this country. We have no idea who's running it. Kamala
Harris isn't running it. Joe Biden's is his. He in
(26:15):
ice cream. And so what's going on is an issue
of national security in our in our country. Because the
buck stops with we don't know. I'm terrifying. I assume
it's Obama. But he picked the VP. He's the one
that apparently pressured Joe to step down. He's the one
that humiliated Joe on stage at that Hollywood fundraiser with
George Clooney.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And Jimmy Kim when he walked him off. Dude, you
could say a lot about Obama. He doesn't understand economics.
That guy knows stagecraft, he knows about optics. I think
he did that to get rid of Joe.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Well, I think, quite frankly, at this point Washington, how
this plane went down. I mean, the Democrats moved their
convention back a month, watched what we were going to do,
and then now they're reacting to what we're doing. You
don't just come up with a plan like that in
a few weeks. I think this has been the plan
for a very long time. This has purely speculation on
my part. But the coup that they pulled off takes planning,
and it takes time. And I personally believe in the
(27:09):
manner in which in the manner in which they did this,
in a manner in which they were able to coalesce
all the delegates around Kamala Harris within forty eight hours,
even though not a single one of them voted voted
for her in the primary season they voted for Joe Biden.
The way they did this is not something that you
just hash in forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
This is a plan.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
We got to talk about tim Walls, We got to
talk about what's going on the border. We have listeners
leaving questions in the comments section of this live video
as we stream on social media and on KPRC nine fifty,
we'll read some of your questions coming up. If you're
watching us streaming online, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
If you're listening on the radio, here's a quick word
from some sponsors.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Let's see here.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
A Paul found that six percent of adults say they
have eaten roadkill. I got to assume that's probably is
that the new breakfast bffet at Denny's. Is that what
they're talking about. Somebody went into Denny's recently. Did you
see this video online? And they were a gas to
learn it and it had become so expensive they were shocked.
And there was a video when it was basically just
a guy ordering pancakes. It got shared on TikTok, but
(28:24):
I don't look at TikTok, so I see all this
stuff a week later when it makes its way to Twitter.
And then there was this other pole that just came out.
It says fast food is now a luxury in America.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
There's a reason Americans are chubby. It's because fast food's
cheap and we eat it because it's convenient.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yes, Dold mean you right? Is that going to change now?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Like are Americans gonna get skinny because we can't afford
that anymore?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Or like your first date's going to be at McDonald's,
not like a real restaurant, but it's so expensive.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
That's it? Is that what it's coming to.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
I mean, that's how you're going to impress your lady
friend by taking her to McDonald's these days.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Boo could at Beppo just declared bankruptcy, Red Lobster declared bankruptcy.
These are the restaurants that average people go to when
they want to. Rich people don't go to Red Lobster. Like, look,
red Lobster's good. Everybody's had a cheddar Bay biscuit. But
the reason they declared bankruptcy is because average people can't
treat the.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Kid afford anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Yeah, that's not nothing that happened under Joe Biden, as
it did. And then also, we're driving around a corner
here we saw gas for four dollars or forty nine cents.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, well that gas station.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I know it's indicative though, Like I get it that
that's a really expensive one. I get it, But it's
indicative of what you're seeing in prices basically all throughout Texas,
which is an oil rich state too.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
By the way, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So I mean, if it's if it's that part, you know,
in the good part of town, if you want to
call it that, imagine where it is for everybody else's
flat on unaffordable.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, people are asking questions. Molly wants to know if
you are aware of whether or not Kamala has ever
gone to the border. Wesley Hunt, Congressman Wesley Hunt, here is.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
My understanding that the borders are has not gone to
the border. Now, I remember she went to South America
to find the root causes of immigration, but she did
not go to the border, and she refuses to go
to the border, and she hasn't gone for four years.
So that's something that as a military guy, as a leader,
when you're put in charge of something, at a minimum,
you at least like show up right. But this is
(30:08):
something that's a loser for them. And so if they
if she shows up to the border, even as the
borders are, then they're admitting that they've been wrong the
entire time. They're admitting that eleven million people entering our
country in a fit no ail to kill every American
six times, just complete lawlessness, the cartels running our southern border.
They are admitting that they facilitated that for the past
four years, if she even shows her face down there,
(30:28):
which is ridiculous, because this actually shouldn't be an issue
of democratic Republican and it shouldn't be a Parson issue.
This is a this is a sovereignty issue. It's a
sovereignty problem. And as somebody that fought for this country,
I fought to keep terrorists, to keep bad guys out
of our country. And then now we have over two
hundred people on terrorists watch lists walking across the border.
And so these are the kind of policy issues that
(30:49):
we as a party have got to continue to hammer
home that do you want Minnesota, do you want California
policies to run our country or not? The answer is
absolutely is hell no. And Wolltz was the arbiter of
the Summer of Love in his own state. He didn't
absolutely nothing about it, and which to me is really
weird because this is a military guy. This is a singer,
(31:09):
and CEO is a master sergeant, and you've mean to
tell me that you're okay, You're okay with flag burning
and the destruction of the country that you served.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I haven't read it yet, but there's a report going
around where people claim that his military service wasn't as
honorable as some.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Claim that it was. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I'm not going to wax intellectual on something I don't
know about, but that's the thing people are saying today
on social media. But to go back to something else
you were just talking about there, it is incredible to
see the Soviet esque. There's no other way to describe it.
Erasing from news articles, blog posts, tweets that everybody saw
about how Kamala as the borders are. She famously gave
(31:45):
this speech where she told people in Central America do
not come, do nott come, God come. And I know
people on social media have added that together in inappropriate
ways and stuff, but a right, but all jokes aside.
Everybody's seen that video. Why else was she giving that speech?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Well, because again this goes to a person that is
clearly in favor of lawlessness in this country. We saw
when she was a prosecutor in California. We've seen her
failures as the borders are. We now see the appendages
of the media having the memory holding everything that she
has said and done. They have turned this woman into
(32:21):
a mashup between Joan of Arc and Harriet Tubman, as
if we didn't watch this disaster that she was for
the past four years. And even Democrats were backing on
her for the past four years. But when they realized
that they cannot win with Joe Biden, they had to
replace his face with somebody. She's all they had. And
so now you have somebody that's that's going that could
potentially be the president of the University of America. And
(32:43):
this person won't do an interview, she won't do anything
off teleprompter.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
This is horrible for the United States. Who's in charge?
Speaker 5 (32:52):
And do you want to give her the keys to
the to the to the to the nuclear codes? Now
you want her negotiating with jijingping? Now do you want
her her negotiating with Vladimir Putin? A person that can't
even go to the border to visit and knowing dog
going well that it is a Cleveland stinker for the
Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
That's a perfect way to explain it. All right, I
want to talk about you before we run out of
time here.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
If you just turn it on your radio, that's a
very familiar voice to Texas Republicans. Congressman Wesley Hunt is
in studio right now. Wesley, you most people watch you
on TV and they see you with the Trump campaign,
but you haven't missed a vote. You've been very active
with what's going on in Congress. You've been in Capitol
Hill this whole time. You're constantly on an airplane with
your team going to do campaign rallies and then right
(33:34):
back to Washington, d C. They send you down to
the Virgin Islands, they send you to Iowa, but you've
actually things have happened inside the Beltway that your team
has been working on. And I don't think I don't
think everybody hears about that as much as they hear
about this election that involves the president dropping out and
the other guy getting shot. And I mean, you get
why that dominates the headlines, but what the heck's going
on with you?
Speaker 5 (33:54):
So you know, that's actually a really funny thing about Congress,
and that's like, that's like ten percent of what we do.
Most of what we do actually is working for the
tax paying members of my district and doing right by them.
And that ranges from you know, closing over twenty three
hundred cases that that goes to our returning over eleven
million dollars from the RRS back to the people in
(34:15):
my district. We are very very proud of that, and
my team here in this district works tirelessly to get
stuff done for the people here. And so that's what
I hope, you know, the listener right now understands that
it's way more than just national politics.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
It's way more than a vitriol that you see on TV.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
We actually do a pretty good job working for what
I think is the best district in the entire country
and getting stuff done for the people in this district.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
That's actually the bulk of my job.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
You don't see that, you won't hear about it, but
that's literally what we do, and I'm very, very proud
of that effort.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, it's not a sexy headline, you know, it's not
a salacious or egregious or whatever. Congressman Wesley Hunt votes
on policy that is local constituents agree with. There's usually
a headline, you see. But you have been going back
and forth a lot lately, and I'm grateful for that.
You've been working with Mike Johnson, and hopefully if we
could take the Senate back in November, we can get
some of these conservative bills you guys have passed in
(35:06):
the House, pushed HR.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Two, yeah, HR one, HR two that they can't even
get out of center right now because we don't have
a majority, and they're really good bills that we voted
on for over a year ago, and it talks about
unleashing American energy, it talks about having a secure border.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
They're really good stuff.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
But again, you know, when you have a Democrat run
Senate and Joe Biden Kamala Harris on top of the ticket.
There's nothing that you could actually get done, and so
that's why this election is a Bill Weather election for
this country.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah. Man, it's a great point and I love to
hear it. You are obviously a long time, lifelong resident
of Texas. A lot of Texas athletes and Houston athletes
getting medals in the Olympics right now. Everybody's excited about Shikari,
everybody's excited about a Simone.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
But of course some of the other.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Things dominating in the headlines at the Olympics are the
very bizarre opening ceremony, the transgender boxers. You're an athlete,
you work out all the time, you have a history
of being involved in sports.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
What do you think when you see that? What a shame? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
I remember growing up and when the Olympics, you know,
would come on, it was like it was a it
was a thing of pride. I remember being at Fort Hood,
Texas when when Michael Phelps and that and that and
that and that four By wanted me to relay when
they were able to win it on the last leg
against against against France, and I remember being filled with
so much pride. I was at a bar near Fort Hood, Texas,
and everybody in the bar was chanting USA, USA. And
(36:24):
then now they're subjecting us to all of this woke
stuff in France that quite frankly, is flat out weird.
And nobody watches the Olympics for political banter. We watched
the Olympics to see our country do well. We watched
the Olympics too, to see these gold medal winners and
to hear our national anthem being played. It's it's supposed
to be a getaway, right, and they've they've completely ruined
(36:46):
it for people like me.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, I know they've They've made it weird. It's weird. Yeah,
they made it weird.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Some people have pointed out they said they never disrespect
Muslims the way they disrespected Christians, and they ought.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
To take ceremony.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
But there was a part if you watch it, where
they show the Saudi Arabia and athletes, and then they
show the weird cross dressers, and then they show the
athletes from United Arab Emirates and then they show the.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Weird cross treasures.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Would I would think as a Muslim, I'd be kind
of upset about that, But anyway, I guess it's besides
the point, Wellsley, you're in town right now. You just
mentioned fort Hood and wokeism. Technically I think it's called
Fort Cavazos.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Now, what do you think about that? This forethood? I mean,
it's always gonna be fort Hood, this forethood. I don't
I don't play that. I don't play those games.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
I think that you know the history of this country
and the fact that you know we've come a very
long way.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
For me talk about my family history.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
I'm the direct descendant of a slave, and here i am,
you know, the congressman for a white majority district in
a stronghold for President Trump, here in the suburb of Houston, Texas.
And I'm very very proud as a black man to
be able to represent not just black people, but all
Americans in my district can become a very long way.
Changing the names on buildings and changing the names on
on on forts and basis is ridiculous. In fact, that's
(37:55):
where our history was. And if we don't remember our
history as it was, and we are doomed to repeat it. Right,
And somebody like Wesley Hunt is not is not defined
by a name on a building or what a ford
is named, because it was named after a Confederate general.
And no point did I drive one of ford Hood
and say I can't go to work today because it's
named after a Confederate general.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
It never happened, and it never it never will happen.
So let's like talk about why it was named that.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Let's talk about where we were as a country, you know,
thirty forty fifty one hundred years ago, and let's let's
applaud our progress it continue to move forward.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
A couple questions before we run out of time here
about local politics. Lena Hidalgo missing an action when Kamala
comes to town. Everybody was suspicious about that. Shila Jackson
Lee passes away, Rest in peace. I'm not gonna you know,
I'm not gonna back to back. Yeah, she's gone. Kim
Ogg endorsing your buddy Ted Cruz. A lot of weird
excitement going on with local Democrats here in Houston lately.
You got any thoughts on what you've seen from from
(38:50):
the sidelines where you're watching from.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
We live in very interesting times now, kay, If you're
not paying attention, Oh yeah, no, I know. We live
in very interesting times, and I think time for us,
especially we as Texas to step up and stand for something,
and I think I think Ted Cruise is going to
be just fine. But again, nothing is going to be
a walk in the park. Neither is this election going
to be in November. It's not going to be a
walk in the park because we live in such a
(39:13):
strange time, so we have to fight tooth and nail
for everything that we want for the future of our country.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Do you think in November you're going to be joined
by well, I guess January you'll be joined by a
Congressman Sylvester Turner the next time you are in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Voting.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
I find that I find that to be, you know,
a very interesting shift turn of events.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I literally did not see that coming.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
You know, the thing the thing about Congress right now
is that this is I'm not an agist, and people
can do their job depending on how regardless of how
old they are.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I want the best person for the job.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
But I will tell you this, Kenny, I'm twenty years
below the average age in Congress. And that's actually you're
part of the problem. Yeah, you're You're a kid compared
to them, So you're a millennial. You know, I haven't
voted for any spending bills. So I haven't voted for
you know, adding two trillion dollars a year to ride
that and running a two trillion dollar definicit. You know why,
because I'm going to be alive in the next twenty
years and I have a five or three and a
(40:05):
one year old. So the problem is is that we
have a lot of people that go to Washington and like,
no offense to them, but when they're a little bit older,
they don't they don't think of their lives that way.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Their children are grown, their.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Children are already off doing things in the world, and
they and they're at retirement age. So when they when
they cast these votes for stuff, they're voting for things
that they probably won't be around for the next twenty years.
And that's a part of the problem. We need younger
people voting for this stuff. We need younger people in Congress. Why,
because we have skin in the game, we have young children.
We are thinking about the future of this country, right
(40:35):
And so that's my concern. You know, whenever I see,
you know, an opportunity to have some you know, some
young blood and what is a very important seat here
in Houston, Texas kind of start to step up. And
this is this is no shade to Semester Turner and
his age and a service as as the mayor of
this city.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I think it's tom start turning to fage here. I mean,
let me so so so.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Ms McConnell is eighty years old. Nancy Pelosi is eighty
years old. Isn't at Trump is seventy eight years old.
Joe Biden is two hundred and thirteen years old, and
so at some point we got to kind of we
got to look at this. We have to say, you know,
it's top for that next generation of leadership to get
some experience now for the future of our country.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Congressman Wesley Hunt, always good to see you back in Houston, Texas.
I love that your team is always in town helping
people out. I think part of the reason is because
we have better barbecue here than they have in Washington.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
But there's no barbacoo in Washington. It's not real wife, kids,
a newborn baby boy. Everybody doing okay, everyone's doing wonderfully.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
But there and I were right now visiting the in laws,
and so so I get to kind of come here
for a few days be geographic bachelor and work and
work with it within a district, which I'm absolutely glad
to do.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
But I've had neck up there this weekend.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
I know that people from Houston know that Wesley is
one of the most popular local politicians and that he's
probably a shoe in this November. But it still doesn't
change the fact that if you go to Wesley for
Texas dot Com, make a donation, you can volunteer. They're
always looking for people to join the team. You want
to get out and block walk help out with the
mega campaign. Wesley Hunt is a local spoke person for
(42:00):
him and his team is on the front lines of
that battle.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
My man, it's always awesome to start guy pleasure. God
bless your brother. Thanks for having me. To the rest

for more of what you bought a radio for. You
