Speaker 2 (00:25):
A list of states ranked by IQ is out. You'll
be shocked which state is last. Unless you think California
is last. Then you know, never mind. Hi, Kenny Webster,
Welcome to the show. So great being here with you.
Christian Collins joining us at the bottom of the hour.
He's the creator of the Texas Youth Summit. Stick around
for that. You're gonna want to hear what he has
to say. He's got a lot of news to break
(00:47):
about a big event we're hosting next month, and the
latest from the scandal involving Minnesota Governor Tim Wall's stolen valor.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, not a good look for you, mo man. Just
it really feels like the honeymoon is over already. As
soon as Kamala and Tim Walls announced their big candidacy
and everybody got real excited for him, just like that,
just in the nick of time, suddenly people are not
that excited.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
About them anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It was the Harris Kamala boom and bus cycle. As
they explained it over at the Examiner. If the polls
are right, support for Kamala, the new Democrat nominee, is booming,
they say, booming. They have bunths months months of Joe
trailing Trump in that Real Clear Politics poll, but Harris
now narrowly leads Trump. And that's supposed to be the
(01:34):
poll of polls. The last six polls in the average
show Harris ahead. But this is exactly what Trump's pollsters
predicted would happen in the immediate aftermath of the Biden
Harris switch. It's what we thought was I mean, it's
still disheartening for Republicans, but it's what we thought was
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
So Democrats are very happy. What about their allies in
the press consider this?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Apparently, watching the VP, as they explained recently on MSNBC's
Morning Joe, watching the VP, it was mesmerizing in the sense,
they said, I've never seen a rally like that, either
on TV or in person, and watching it you could
just sense the power in all It was a power
of joy. That's what they said on MSNBC yesterday. Do
(02:19):
you believe that it's weird? They got excited about a
campaign rally she just did. Where were they in Philadelphia?
A smaller rally than Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, so
the Republican strategists might take heart in what could be
called the Harris boom and bus cycle. Established the only
other time Harris ran for national office, she was a
(02:40):
candidate in the twenty twenty Democrat nominee presidential nomination, but
her campaign began and ended in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
She was very popular at first, and then she fizzled out.
In one brief period.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
She shot up from the back in the pack to
close the lead, only to disappear just as quickly. Kind
of feels similar to what's going on right now, is it.
Harris declared her candidacy in January of twenty nineteen. By April,
her support stood at five percent in the CNN poll
the Democratic primary race. All the numbers here are more
subsequent CNN polls conducted with the same methodology. By May,
(03:16):
Harris climbed to eight percent, Then in June she jumped
to seventeen percent. There was no poll in July, but
by August Harris was back down to five percent.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
She meandered around after that eight percent, six percent than
three percent. By December, she was out of the race.
So she had that brief boom came after a Democratic
debate in which she accused Biden of being a racist.
For a moment, Kamala became a progressive hero until with
increased exposure after the debate, voters got a closer look
(03:48):
at her. They didn't really like what they saw. Her
fall began. What does that experience mean for the presidential
race today? That's the question I'm asking you to ask.
I would assume first the situation. It's not exactly the
same this time, because this time Harris has the entire
Democrat party. They don't have another choice. They just have
this one candidate for them. She's the whole game, She's
(04:09):
the whole Encelada. They will not let her fail if
success is all at all possible. But in the twenty
nineteen primary, when a voter got tired of Harris, he
or she could switch support to another candidate, the Democrats
who supported her simply moved on. Now, if Harris begins
to wear badly on voters, there is no other Democrat candidate.
(04:31):
But what about those independent voters, Well, yeah, they're the
ones that actually picked the president, aren't they Most people
probably don't assume Trump is going to flip a blue
state red. Most people probably don't assume Kamala is going
to flip a red state blue. So it really all
comes down to three states. Because they didn't pick Josh Sapiro,
the Pennsylvania governor. Pennsylvania is still up for play. If
(04:54):
they'd have picked him to be the running mate, they
might have won that state. If they get every bluestate
and they get Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, they have two
seventy and Trump has two sixty eight, Harris and Walls
will win. But if they don't get Pennsylvania or Wisconsin
(05:17):
or Michigan, Trump wins. They know this, so look for
Democrats to keep Kamala under wraps as long as possible.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
They don't want her doing interviews.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They don't want her talking to people because the minute
she does, she's going to lose those independent voters.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
The difference between a politician and a snail. A snail
leaves its line behind. You're listening to Kinny Webster.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Donald Trump was on Fox News yesterday talking about how
Kamala won't do an interview look.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
At this decision. This is a really bad decision for
the country. You know, ultimately, I want the country to
have good decisions because ultimately what we want is for
the country to do well. The country can't do well
with these two people. They're very similar. And you know,
you would have thought she would have reached out and
got somebody that's got some different because her record on
(06:09):
security is horrible. She was a bortzar, which she doesn't
admit it.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Now.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
You know, the only thing they have going is the
media will play off all of the bad things, bad
things that happened during her term. She was so bad
that five weeks ago they wanted to remove her because
she was unthinkable to be president. They were going to
go with anyone, and then they were afraid that they
would offend people if they did that, and all of
(06:35):
a sudden, inch by inch, and then she ends up
taking over. Now the same press that thought she was
the worst vice president in history, which is true, going
along with the worst president in history. And he went
down after the debate, and there was nothing much they
could do it. They tried to come back. Then they
brought her in and everybody said it'll never be her
she's so bad, she's incompetent. And after they studied it
(06:58):
a little bit, they realized it's not going to be
so easy to do. So they say, well, look, the
press is going to do whatever we want, because the
press is a rigged deal. The press is the media
outside of your people, of course, but the media is
so they're trying to build her up to the next
Margaret Thatcher liberal version, and I don't believe it's going
(07:19):
to happen. I hear she's hasn't taken one interview. She
would never do an interview like this that I can
get with any network. She doesn't do interviews because she
can't answer questions. I don't know how she debates. He
hears she's sort of a nasty person, but not a
good debater. But we'll see, because we'll be debating her,
(07:39):
I guess in the pretty near future. It's going to
be announced fairly soon, but we'll be debating her.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'd like to see it on Fox. By the way, Yeah,
me too, they're saying.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
They keep saying that Trump is trying to back out
of what was it the September fifteenth ABC News debate,
the thing that he was planning to do with Biden.
Kamala says, well, now you're trying to step down from
a debate you agreed to do so. Trump never agreed
to do a debate with Kamala, but Kamala agreed to
do a debate with JD.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So if that's your logic, when will we get your
debates with JD.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Kamala. I know it doesn't really matter, does it. Trump's
going to have a debate with Kamala. I think we
all know, and Tim Wallas is going to debate JD. Vans.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But at the end of the day, and I got
to repeat, the three states that matter the most, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.
That's the whole election right now. Guys, they gave up
on Arizona. That's the reason why Senator Mark Kelly didn't
get picked. They already know Kerrie Lake has one Arizona
for Trump. Hopefully it certainly seems that way. Trump's way
ahead in Arizona. Here's a report today at townhall dot com.
(08:42):
Kamala Harris seems to have a plan to win back
the votes of Muslim and Arab voters after her administration's
pro Israel stance resulted in the loss of their support. Look,
we've talked about this so many times on the show
in the morning. If you've not heard us discuss it.
Biden and Harris are all in on evs. They're all
in on electric vehicles, and that could really cost them
(09:05):
the state of Michigan. But what does that have to
do with Israel, you might wonder. Well, in the state
of Michigan, there's two big voter groups. One of them
are auto workers. If we move to Eve's sixty percent
of them lose their jobs. It's an indisputable fact. They
are not going to need all these assembly line workers
to build evs. Electric vehicles do not require sixty percent
(09:25):
of auto workers. They all lose their jobs. The other
group of people in Michigan are the people that live
in deer Bornistan. That's another big group, a lot of
Muslims there. Those people hate Israel. So auto workers, even
if the UAW leader endorses Biden or Harris or whatever,
(09:48):
which it sounds like they are, the workers aren't going
to vote for Harris. They're going to vote for Trump
because they want to keep their jobs. Kamala suggested she
was open to discussing an arms embargo on Israel. In
exchange for uncommitted Muslim and Arab votes in Michigan after
pro terrorism advocates demanded she call for a ceasefire in
Gaza before they endorse her for president. She's playing ball guys,
(10:11):
pro Palestine. Palestine voters or the Uncommitted National Movement refused
to back Joe Biden when he was still running for
second term because he supports Israel, but Kamala's kind of
pretended to not support Israel. Now, of course she's still
part of the Biden administration. She does support them by proxy.
But during the Michigan primary, these people successfully got more
(10:33):
than one hundred thousand voters to withhold their votes from
Biden by checking uncommitted on the ballot. Now it looks
like they might vote for Kamala. That's one hundred thousand votes.
One hundred thousands a lot of people. So you're probably
wondering how many auto workers in Michigan. Well, as it
turns out, in Michigan there's one point one million auto workers.
(10:53):
Will this strategy work for Kamala, I don't know, but
she's going to try it anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Kamala deserves to be vice president like Elvis deserved as
black belt in karate. What a hunka hunka burning crab.
This is Kinny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Sometimes people ask me why I'm so passionate about supporting
a great charity like Wheelchairs for Warriors, and it is
pretty simple. I never served my country when I was
in my twenties. I was a rock and roll DJ.
I DJ'd at nightclubs and stuff, and I never sacrificed
for the country the way some of our listeners have.
Some of my friends in the Republican Party. So I
always just felt like I owed him one. You know,
(11:31):
It's the least I could do is throw a stand
up comedy show and raise a little money for a
great local nonprofit like Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org. By
the way, it's a five oh one C three charity,
So when you donate to them, that's money you don't
have to give to Joe Biden's worthless federal government the
next time you pay your taxes.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Hey, it's legal. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
All that being said, there's two guys right now running
for vice president, one of them.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Military war hero and Marine JD. Vance.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The other one, Tim Walls, is being accused of stolen valor.
Maybe yesterday Wesley Hunt and I were live on the
radio as all of this was breaking in Iraq. Warvette
said in two thousand and six that Tim Walls never served,
he abandoned his fellow soldiers. Now I saw blew up
in the Biden administration's face yesterday. Kareem Jean Pierre never
(12:18):
thought she was going to have to defend Tim Walls's
military service, much less Joe Biden's dementia or whatever it
is that Kamala Harris does. So that's why this awkward
moment happened yesterday during a White House press pool meeting.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
A faint trail. Today, Senator jd Vance is accused Governor
Walts of stolen valor, and obviously military service is something
that's very deeply personal to the President, given the service
of his son. I'm curious in how she reacting to
the statements.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, so look, any specific attacks or comments, I would
have to refer you to the campaign.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I think when I was answering your.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Colleague Joey's question about Governor Walls, I laid out and
you all have seeing his bio, right, this is someone
who enlisted at seventeen.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Years old to serve his country.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
He was part of the Army National Guard for twenty
four years.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But this is someone who is a high school teacher.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
She's really avoiding the question here, isn't she No, we
get it. He was technically in the National Guard, but
he abandoned his crew right when they went off to war.
My buddy, Christian Collins is the founder of the Texas
Youth Summit. That's another great nonprofit that hosts some of
the most influential political and religious leaders in the country.
They have an event coming up you're really going to
want to attend. Lots of military veterans will be in
(13:32):
attendant for that event, as it had been in the past.
Headliners and guests this year include Don Junior, Kimberly, Gilfoyle,
Riley Gaines, Congressman Wesley Hunt was just here yesterday. Christian Collins,
my brother, you watched this new story break in real time,
just like the rest of us. What do you think
about Koreean Jean Pierre's reaction there? I mean, is this
a little below her pay grade? She's probably auditioning for
(13:53):
a job at MSNBC.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Now right, Well, thank you so much for having me
on Kenny, and thank you for all that you do
for our city, and you're doing great work across the
country with your message. So honored to be on your show. Yeah,
it looks like she's just totally dodging the question, much
like Tim Waltz, you know, dodged the Iraq War.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And you know JD.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Vance was someone who was inspired by nine to eleven
and joined the military because of what was going on.
He was a patriotic American. On the contrary, you look
at Tim Waltz, he looked for an opportunity to exit.
And so for any case, I mean, it's always important
to honor a military veterans, whether they have served or
(14:36):
not served in an active duty in combat zones. But
it's not good to do what the Democrats are doing
and embellished this person's resume. You know, for example, I
teach out a college, but I don't go around saying
that I have a PhD. Because I don't. I teach
out a college, which is a great thing. And likewise,
the way that they're portraying this guy as some you
(14:58):
know American hero Tim Waltz, he's absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Far below that.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
And he's served in Italy, but Italy is not a
combat zone.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Our Afternoon host Jesse Kelly made an interesting play yesterday
when he was talking about this that when he was
serving in Iraq, they would try to sleep as often
as they could, even when they weren't tired, because when
they were asleep, it was like they weren't in Iraq,
because that's how horrible Iraq is. I've never been in
any place as bad as that. But you know, the
(15:31):
timing on this, Christian It's amazing. All of a sudden,
right has this happened? A war is popping off in
Iraq again. You got the Kurds and the Iraqi militants
out there and they're exchanging missiles and rockets. Suddenly with
Israel there could be a major war again in Iraq.
And I just I gotta wonder did Tim Walls think
he was going to be able to avoid talking about
(15:52):
this if he ran for VP.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Well, he probably did.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
And Democrats are the last people that should be talking
about war because they want to go to war so badly.
If you look at the Ukraine War, if you look
at what's happened across the country because of the disastrous
withdrawal from Afghanistan. Democrats have been talking about how great
Joe Biden has done in handling these foreign policy engagements,
(16:20):
and he's done terrible and Kamala Harris has been a
part of that. And so unfortunately Democrats, they have a
really bad record on all of this, and they might
want the drum up a war, you know, just in
time for the election to you know, distract from their
terrible record. But the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan cannot be
(16:43):
written away. If you look at what happened with the
Ukraine war never would have happened. Russia would never have
invaded if President Trump were still there, and you look
at what's happened in Israel that would never have happened.
Tomas would never have attacked them on October seventh. And look,
you know what could happen in China.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
We don't I'm with China, we don't know. I mean,
they could be.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Going after Taiwan right before the election. So this is
very very serious and we have to have serious people
who want peace through strength. And jd Vance is someone
who you want at the helm. He doesn't want war,
but he's a warrior and he can fight, you know,
in that situation. But I guarantee, I think if President
Trump is reelected, I believe that he will get us
(17:26):
out of these wars and people will be afraid again
to go to the war with the United States. That's
what peace through strength is all about.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I mean, it's so true, right Donald Trump had these
what was it, the embargo on Russia, and he had
sanctions on the nord Stream pipeline, and Biden got rid
of all of that almost suspiciously, like he wanted there
to be a war. I mean, I look, it's right
there in front of our face. It's just my two
cents that when after Biden became president, all of a sudden,
we're in wars in almost every major continent. That can't
(17:55):
be a coincidence. And isn't it kind of incredible too
to think back when he did this talk about walls
as a Democrat. The Democrats were kind of anti war
back then. Now, like to your point, they're very much
pro war. It just feels like their entire policy on
foreign policy is such a contradiction from where they were
at twenty years ago, and now they're all at odds
(18:16):
with themselves because they have to explain away of the
fact that the anti war party is suddenly the most
pro war party in American history. How do voters swallow
this trite and naturally believe it?
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yeah, you know, it's really odd how pro war they've become.
But if you want to have a strong military, if
you want to have a big stick and not use it,
then that's what we'll have under President Trump. We need
to have a commander in chief that people look at
across the world as somewhat unpredictable and they fear him
(18:51):
in a good way and they know not to mess
with the United States of America. That's what we have
under President Trump.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And JD.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Vance he's that of leader too. He's been through war,
doesn't want war. That's the types of people we went leading.
That's the types of military leaders we want leading. Not
people that are you know, get their entire campaigns funded
by the military industrial complex.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
We don't want that.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
We don't want you know, leaders who have set on
the board of Boeing and they're the ones trying to
get us into war. And there's a UNI Party in Washington,
Republicans and Democrats alike who both want this.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
But what we.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Really need is people who want to avoid war, and
they've been through war in the case of Jdvance, and
they know how terrible it is, and they want to
do everything that they possibly can to avoid it and
keep their country safe and keep their countrymen. Most importantly,
that's our treasure, our men and women who are serving overseas,
sparing their lives from ever getting to that point.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
That's what we really need, brotherly, from your mouth to
God's ears.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The uniparty is such a problem right now, whether you're
talking about Nikki Haley and her very bizarre relationship with
the military industrial complet.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Or our buddy over at the State Department.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln, actually has millions of dollars
invested in the military industrial complex. His job is to
negotiate away wars, but if he fails at that, he
makes millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Do you think there's anybody else on.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Earth with a job that, were they hypothetically to fail
at it, they'd become a multi multi millionaire many times over.
I can't think of anybody besides him.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You know, that just.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Shows how deep the corruption goes in our government, and
we need to do everything that we can to get
rid of neo kids on the right or the left,
out of positions of authority, and we need to have
peace through strength.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
We need to have a strong military.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
We need to take care of our military men and
women and make sure that they have all the benefits
that they're afforded. But we do not need to be
sending our countrymen off to war unnecessary orders that shouldn't
be fought. And we look at what happened in Iraq
and Afghanistan and a lot of people probably after this situation,
this disasterrous withdrawal, maybe feeling like their entire service for
(21:04):
those twenty years wasn't made. And it's because of terrible
leaders that are in position of authority that did the
absolute worst to leave, you know, to exit Afghanistan, and
you know, we exit Afghanistan, and we're you know, looks
like we're going to be entering into another endless war
and more endless wars, and it's just absurd, and the
(21:27):
military industrial complex continues to make money and people will
continue to die across the world, and it's unnecessary. I
think we've got to get back to a place where
we're putting sanctions on Iran, where making sure that they
don't have the funding to attack Israel, that we're doing
the things that we need to do diplomatically, working things
(21:48):
out in Russia, in Ukraine, making sure that there's compromise
on both sides to find a peaceful solution. And I
know that President Trump can do that. And China needs
to know that they can mess with Taiwan whatsoever. And
Trump is the type of person he'll put sanctions on China,
He'll do whatever he has to do. He'll have fair
(22:10):
trade with them. Most importantly, he'll make a deal. He'll
do whatever he has to do to be tough. And
I can't wait until he takes back the helm in
January of twenty twenty five, and we'll be in a
position where we can be a strong America again.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Brother, I completely agree. I think that was perfectly stated.
And before we wrap up this conversation, here's one more
great SoundBite. I gotta throw out your Christian if you
just turn it on your radio. I'm talking to Christian Collins,
creator at the Texas Youth Summit that is coming up
September twentieth to the twenty first. I'm going to be
there with a bunch of our friends and I'll give
you that lineup again in a second, but real quick though,
Here's Senator Tina Smith. Now she's the Senator of Minnesota.
(22:47):
She has a very personal relationship with Governor Tim Walls,
but also a very personal relationship with JD.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Van says. They both work in the Senate together.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yesterday, as this news was breaking about stolen valor and
the accusations against the governor of Minnesota, this is what
she said during an interview on CNN with Jim Acosta.
CNN's Jim Acosta actually corrects her when she makes a
very confused statement.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Well, here is Tim Walls, who enlisted when he was
seventeen years old. He served in the National Guard for
twenty four years, and I'm not aware of any military
service that Jada Vance has ever served. So let's just
make the comparison there and what happened in the tragedy
of the employed and then the UNREPP. Yeah, okay, pardon
(23:35):
me for that.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
He says she was in the Marines. I mean, Christian,
what do we even do with kytie? Is there even
a response to the SoundBite? It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Well, she's either incompetent and didn't know, or she's a
liar and Unfortunately, I feel like it's the latter. I
think she's a liar. Yeah, I think that Democrats will
tell their base whatever that they need to hear, and
those base will then go and talk to Independence and
that message gets out. Well, our guy's actually served in
(24:05):
work years, hasn't That's not true, and so we need
to make sure that we do everything that we can
to get the message out loud and clear. Because our
base knows that JD. Vance is a great guy. We're
going to support him, but it's Independence. When we're comparing
resumes of JD Vance and Tim Waltz, we need to
make sure that Independence understand who these people are, and
(24:28):
they have a tendency to embellish their resume and lie
quite a lot. JD. Vance my gosh, I mean, he's
thirty nine years old and he's done so much with
his life. He's got a beautiful family. He's an Ivy
League educated lawyer. He's worked in tech and started his
own company, and of course he's had a storied military career.
(24:48):
He comes from Ohio and he's a Midwestern, you know,
russ Belt state guy, and I believe he's the ticket
to help President Trump reach those Swings states that we
so desperately need a Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I think he's the right guy for the job.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
He's going to be a great vice president, and I'm
excited for what sin store for his future.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Christian, I gotta tell you, I'm excited about the Texas
Youth Summit September twentieth to the twenty first. So many
of our friends booked at the event this year. People
coming back from last year include Riley Gaines, Congressman troyan

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Hey, my brother, quick break, we're going to Hollywood right
after this. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
If you can hear my voice you're still above ground,
alive and listening to Kinny Webster on KPRC nine point
fifty plus.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
You don't smell like a dead person, that's true, hopefully
you don't.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, Disney World, apparently people can't afford to go to
Disneyland right now, and Disney World's even more expensive, so
that Disney brand is struggling.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
But that's not the main.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Reason why it's struggling. You know the real reason why
it's struggling. Right, Yeah, Disney went woke? And what's the rule?
What did Trump say when you go woke? You anybody
fill in the blank? Anybody hello, go broke?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Brightbrit To dot com today reporting on Warner Brothers Discovery
announcing it's quarterly earnings. Maybe earnings isn't the right word here,
losses to the tune of get ready for this, eleven
point two billion dollars, guys, Warner Brothers just lost eleven
point two billion dollars with a bee.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Here's a report from Where's this at Yahoo dot com.
Warner Brothers Discovery reported second quarter earnings after the Bell
on Wednesday that missed expectations on both the top and
bottom lines. While the company took a nine point one
billion dollar impairment charge related to its TV networks and
an additional two point one billion in costs related to
the merger, it's eleven point two billion dollars. That impairment
(29:22):
loss related to Warner's TV networks is probably due to
the ongoing death of cable and satellite. You probably don't
have cable or satellite anymore, or if you do, I
bet you're one of the only people you know who
still does. Most people have switched to Hulu or streaming
services right in the age of streaming those TVs thats
are not worth what they were ten years ago. Millions
(29:44):
upon millions upon millions of people are canceling their cable
TV and moving to streaming. Streaming is ala carte. You
don't subscribe to every streaming service, you just get the
ones you want. So the problem for companies like Warner
Brothers or Comcast Infinity is that the streaming money he
doesn't come close to making up for the money they're
losing on cable. There's a number of triggering events here,
(30:06):
including the continued softness in the US ad market. They're
not buying as much ads as they were uncertainty related
to affiliate and sports rights renewals. That particularly is true
with the NBA. I guess nobody knows where that's going
to end up at right now. If you're a TV network,
the soft ad market is what happens in a faltering economy.
(30:26):
Hollywood wanted Joe to be president. So what we have
here is Warner Brothers Discovery getting what it voted for.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Aw.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Did you got what you voted for?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Aw?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Is that exactly what you wanted? But now you don't
want it anymore? Oh? I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Like we've been talking about this for a long time,
these entertainment companies are in deep, deep doodo because they
don't have the affirmative action that is cable TV.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Think about it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
One hundred million American households paid for channels they never
watched for decades, and these left wing multinationals made billions
off those channels and all that content hardly anyone ever watched.
You never watched CNN, but you paid for it. What
did you watch? What did you watch? You watch DESPN?
Speaker 8 (31:08):
What?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Whatd you watch? Country music? TV, CMTV or whatever that's called.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
What else?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Did you watch History Channel? Local networks? You didn't watch Bloomberg?
Nobody watches Bloomberg. You didn't watch CNBC. You know how
many obscure cable channels there were? You didn't watch Viceland,
did you? I could go on and on with this, guys.
Some of the most worthless stuff on cable. You never
watched the own network, Oprah's network. You never watched the
(31:35):
soap opera network. You ever watched the Weather Channel? I
bet you don't put it on unless there's a hurricane.
You ever watch TV Land or the Lifetime Movie Network.
You ever watched c SPAN three? All right, well that
technically we're paying for that anyway because it's public TV.
But you don't watch it. You don't want Maybe do
you watch the Golf Channel? I bet most of you
don't Hallmark. Nobody's watching this stuff. You pay for it. Look,
(31:58):
I'm not gonna go keep beating the dead horse here,
but you understand what I'm saying. One hundred million American
households paid for this stuff. They never looked at it.
There's no making up for that loss. All that free
unearned money's gone. Go Look at the stock prices of
all these entertainment companies. Is everybody's canceling cable TV. The
stock prices for these companies just keep dropping and dropping
(32:20):
and dropping. In times are tough right now in the
liberal media, I mean, like really tough. Apparently they're laying
off people whose job it is to complain about Fox News. No,
that was a job several months ago. Now it's not anymore.
Do you know Oliver Darcy is Oliver Darcy gets paid
by CNN to complain about Fox News. Well, now left
(32:46):
wing sensor and anti free speech activist Oliver Darcy.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Is out at CNN.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
They didn't explain why, but it's no secret that CNN
is in deep financial trouble. The left wing propaganda outlets
slash some two thousand positions, including one hundred layoffs alone
this year, just yesterday CNN's parent company. Why don't we
just explained it? The huge loss there Warner Brothers Discovery,
that's who owns him. CNN's biggest problem is tens of
(33:11):
millions who are moving to streaming services. You're not watching CNN,
nobody else is either. So if this guy's only job
at CNN was to watch Fox News, and complain about it.
What do they need to pay him for? The guy's
a liar, so it's not a big loss. CNN's only
hope right now is improve its ratings regain its incredibility,
(33:32):
and one way to do both of those things is
to fire guys like Oliver Darcy. If CNN wants to
shake its reputation as a national joke, it needs to
fire all the people like Jim Acosta wolf Blitzer. Nobody
gives a damn about Jake Tapper. Oliver spent his whole
career at CNN in a McCarthyite rage of the anti Americanism,
(33:53):
looking to blacklist and censor right of center opinions. That's
all he did. He's a naked fascist. His only agenda
is to silence, purge, and criminalize the ideas of anyone
he disagrees with, and that's Christians, Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, populists, nationalists,
and constitutionalists. Which one are you? Apparently he intends to
(34:16):
start his own fake newsletter. I'm sure he'll make a
comfortable living lying to an audience of leftists who want
to be lied to.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
He'll be fine. I'm Kenny Webster. I love you all.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Thank you so much for listening this afternoon. We'll be
back tomorrow with more of what you bought a radio for.
As always, you can subscribe to the Walton and Johnson

A list of states ranked by IQ is out. You'll

is last. Then you know, never mind. Hi, Kenny Webster,
Welcome to the show. So great being here with you.
Christian Collins joining us at the bottom of the hour.
He's the creator of the Texas Youth Summit. Stick around
for that. You're gonna want to hear what he has
to say. He's got a lot of news to break
(00:47):
about a big event we're hosting next month, and the
latest from the scandal involving Minnesota Governor Tim Wall's stolen valor.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, not a good look for you, mo man. Just
it really feels like the honeymoon is over already. As
soon as Kamala and Tim Walls announced their big candidacy
and everybody got real excited for him, just like that,
just in the nick of time, suddenly people are not
that excited.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
About them anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It was the Harris Kamala boom and bus cycle. As
they explained it over at the Examiner. If the polls
are right, support for Kamala, the new Democrat nominee, is booming,
they say, booming. They have bunths months months of Joe
trailing Trump in that Real Clear Politics poll, but Harris
now narrowly leads Trump. And that's supposed to be the
(01:34):
poll of polls. The last six polls in the average
show Harris ahead. But this is exactly what Trump's pollsters
predicted would happen in the immediate aftermath of the Biden
Harris switch. It's what we thought was I mean, it's
still disheartening for Republicans, but it's what we thought was
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
So Democrats are very happy. What about their allies in
the press consider this?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Apparently, watching the VP, as they explained recently on MSNBC's
Morning Joe, watching the VP, it was mesmerizing in the sense,
they said, I've never seen a rally like that, either
on TV or in person, and watching it you could
just sense the power in all It was a power
of joy. That's what they said on MSNBC yesterday. Do
(02:19):
you believe that it's weird? They got excited about a
campaign rally she just did. Where were they in Philadelphia?
A smaller rally than Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, so
the Republican strategists might take heart in what could be
called the Harris boom and bus cycle. Established the only
other time Harris ran for national office, she was a
(02:40):
candidate in the twenty twenty Democrat nominee presidential nomination, but
her campaign began and ended in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
She was very popular at first, and then she fizzled out.
In one brief period.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
She shot up from the back in the pack to
close the lead, only to disappear just as quickly. Kind
of feels similar to what's going on right now, is it.
Harris declared her candidacy in January of twenty nineteen. By April,
her support stood at five percent in the CNN poll
the Democratic primary race. All the numbers here are more
subsequent CNN polls conducted with the same methodology. By May,
(03:16):
Harris climbed to eight percent, Then in June she jumped
to seventeen percent. There was no poll in July, but
by August Harris was back down to five percent.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
She meandered around after that eight percent, six percent than
three percent. By December, she was out of the race.
So she had that brief boom came after a Democratic
debate in which she accused Biden of being a racist.
For a moment, Kamala became a progressive hero until with
increased exposure after the debate, voters got a closer look
(03:48):
at her. They didn't really like what they saw. Her
fall began. What does that experience mean for the presidential
race today? That's the question I'm asking you to ask.
I would assume first the situation. It's not exactly the
same this time, because this time Harris has the entire
Democrat party. They don't have another choice. They just have
this one candidate for them. She's the whole game, She's
(04:09):
the whole Encelada. They will not let her fail if
success is all at all possible. But in the twenty
nineteen primary, when a voter got tired of Harris, he
or she could switch support to another candidate, the Democrats
who supported her simply moved on. Now, if Harris begins
to wear badly on voters, there is no other Democrat candidate.
(04:31):
But what about those independent voters, Well, yeah, they're the
ones that actually picked the president, aren't they Most people
probably don't assume Trump is going to flip a blue
state red. Most people probably don't assume Kamala is going
to flip a red state blue. So it really all
comes down to three states. Because they didn't pick Josh Sapiro,
the Pennsylvania governor. Pennsylvania is still up for play. If
(04:54):
they'd have picked him to be the running mate, they
might have won that state. If they get every bluestate
and they get Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, they have two
seventy and Trump has two sixty eight, Harris and Walls
will win. But if they don't get Pennsylvania or Wisconsin
(05:17):
or Michigan, Trump wins. They know this, so look for
Democrats to keep Kamala under wraps as long as possible.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
They don't want her doing interviews.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They don't want her talking to people because the minute
she does, she's going to lose those independent voters.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
The difference between a politician and a snail. A snail
leaves its line behind. You're listening to Kinny Webster.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Donald Trump was on Fox News yesterday talking about how
Kamala won't do an interview look.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
At this decision. This is a really bad decision for
the country. You know, ultimately, I want the country to
have good decisions because ultimately what we want is for
the country to do well. The country can't do well
with these two people. They're very similar. And you know,
you would have thought she would have reached out and
got somebody that's got some different because her record on
(06:09):
security is horrible. She was a bortzar, which she doesn't
admit it.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Now.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
You know, the only thing they have going is the
media will play off all of the bad things, bad
things that happened during her term. She was so bad
that five weeks ago they wanted to remove her because
she was unthinkable to be president. They were going to
go with anyone, and then they were afraid that they
would offend people if they did that, and all of
(06:35):
a sudden, inch by inch, and then she ends up
taking over. Now the same press that thought she was
the worst vice president in history, which is true, going
along with the worst president in history. And he went
down after the debate, and there was nothing much they
could do it. They tried to come back. Then they
brought her in and everybody said it'll never be her
she's so bad, she's incompetent. And after they studied it
(06:58):
a little bit, they realized it's not going to be
so easy to do. So they say, well, look, the
press is going to do whatever we want, because the
press is a rigged deal. The press is the media
outside of your people, of course, but the media is
so they're trying to build her up to the next
Margaret Thatcher liberal version, and I don't believe it's going
(07:19):
to happen. I hear she's hasn't taken one interview. She
would never do an interview like this that I can
get with any network. She doesn't do interviews because she
can't answer questions. I don't know how she debates. He
hears she's sort of a nasty person, but not a
good debater. But we'll see, because we'll be debating her,
(07:39):
I guess in the pretty near future. It's going to
be announced fairly soon, but we'll be debating her.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'd like to see it on Fox. By the way, Yeah,
me too, they're saying.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
They keep saying that Trump is trying to back out
of what was it the September fifteenth ABC News debate,
the thing that he was planning to do with Biden.
Kamala says, well, now you're trying to step down from
a debate you agreed to do so. Trump never agreed
to do a debate with Kamala, but Kamala agreed to
do a debate with JD.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So if that's your logic, when will we get your
debates with JD.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Kamala. I know it doesn't really matter, does it. Trump's
going to have a debate with Kamala. I think we
all know, and Tim Wallas is going to debate JD. Vans.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But at the end of the day, and I got
to repeat, the three states that matter the most, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.
That's the whole election right now. Guys, they gave up
on Arizona. That's the reason why Senator Mark Kelly didn't
get picked. They already know Kerrie Lake has one Arizona
for Trump. Hopefully it certainly seems that way. Trump's way
ahead in Arizona. Here's a report today at townhall dot com.
(08:42):
Kamala Harris seems to have a plan to win back
the votes of Muslim and Arab voters after her administration's
pro Israel stance resulted in the loss of their support. Look,
we've talked about this so many times on the show
in the morning. If you've not heard us discuss it.
Biden and Harris are all in on evs. They're all
in on electric vehicles, and that could really cost them
(09:05):
the state of Michigan. But what does that have to
do with Israel, you might wonder. Well, in the state
of Michigan, there's two big voter groups. One of them
are auto workers. If we move to Eve's sixty percent
of them lose their jobs. It's an indisputable fact. They
are not going to need all these assembly line workers
to build evs. Electric vehicles do not require sixty percent
(09:25):
of auto workers. They all lose their jobs. The other
group of people in Michigan are the people that live
in deer Bornistan. That's another big group, a lot of
Muslims there. Those people hate Israel. So auto workers, even
if the UAW leader endorses Biden or Harris or whatever,
(09:48):
which it sounds like they are, the workers aren't going
to vote for Harris. They're going to vote for Trump
because they want to keep their jobs. Kamala suggested she
was open to discussing an arms embargo on Israel. In
exchange for uncommitted Muslim and Arab votes in Michigan after
pro terrorism advocates demanded she call for a ceasefire in
Gaza before they endorse her for president. She's playing ball guys,
(10:11):
pro Palestine. Palestine voters or the Uncommitted National Movement refused
to back Joe Biden when he was still running for
second term because he supports Israel, but Kamala's kind of
pretended to not support Israel. Now, of course she's still
part of the Biden administration. She does support them by proxy.
But during the Michigan primary, these people successfully got more
(10:33):
than one hundred thousand voters to withhold their votes from
Biden by checking uncommitted on the ballot. Now it looks
like they might vote for Kamala. That's one hundred thousand votes.
One hundred thousands a lot of people. So you're probably
wondering how many auto workers in Michigan. Well, as it
turns out, in Michigan there's one point one million auto workers.
(10:53):
Will this strategy work for Kamala, I don't know, but
she's going to try it anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Kamala deserves to be vice president like Elvis deserved as
black belt in karate. What a hunka hunka burning crab.
This is Kinny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Sometimes people ask me why I'm so passionate about supporting
a great charity like Wheelchairs for Warriors, and it is
pretty simple. I never served my country when I was
in my twenties. I was a rock and roll DJ.
I DJ'd at nightclubs and stuff, and I never sacrificed
for the country the way some of our listeners have.
Some of my friends in the Republican Party. So I
always just felt like I owed him one. You know,
(11:31):
It's the least I could do is throw a stand
up comedy show and raise a little money for a
great local nonprofit like Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org. By
the way, it's a five oh one C three charity,
So when you donate to them, that's money you don't
have to give to Joe Biden's worthless federal government the
next time you pay your taxes.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Hey, it's legal. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
All that being said, there's two guys right now running
for vice president, one of them.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Military war hero and Marine JD. Vance.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The other one, Tim Walls, is being accused of stolen valor.
Maybe yesterday Wesley Hunt and I were live on the
radio as all of this was breaking in Iraq. Warvette
said in two thousand and six that Tim Walls never served,
he abandoned his fellow soldiers. Now I saw blew up
in the Biden administration's face yesterday. Kareem Jean Pierre never
(12:18):
thought she was going to have to defend Tim Walls's
military service, much less Joe Biden's dementia or whatever it
is that Kamala Harris does. So that's why this awkward
moment happened yesterday during a White House press pool meeting.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
A faint trail. Today, Senator jd Vance is accused Governor
Walts of stolen valor, and obviously military service is something
that's very deeply personal to the President, given the service
of his son. I'm curious in how she reacting to
the statements.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, so look, any specific attacks or comments, I would
have to refer you to the campaign.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I think when I was answering your.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Colleague Joey's question about Governor Walls, I laid out and
you all have seeing his bio, right, this is someone
who enlisted at seventeen.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Years old to serve his country.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
He was part of the Army National Guard for twenty
four years.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But this is someone who is a high school teacher.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
She's really avoiding the question here, isn't she No, we
get it. He was technically in the National Guard, but
he abandoned his crew right when they went off to war.
My buddy, Christian Collins is the founder of the Texas
Youth Summit. That's another great nonprofit that hosts some of
the most influential political and religious leaders in the country.
They have an event coming up you're really going to
want to attend. Lots of military veterans will be in
(13:32):
attendant for that event, as it had been in the past.
Headliners and guests this year include Don Junior, Kimberly, Gilfoyle,
Riley Gaines, Congressman Wesley Hunt was just here yesterday. Christian Collins,
my brother, you watched this new story break in real time,
just like the rest of us. What do you think
about Koreean Jean Pierre's reaction there? I mean, is this
a little below her pay grade? She's probably auditioning for
(13:53):
a job at MSNBC.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Now right, Well, thank you so much for having me
on Kenny, and thank you for all that you do
for our city, and you're doing great work across the
country with your message. So honored to be on your show. Yeah,
it looks like she's just totally dodging the question, much
like Tim Waltz, you know, dodged the Iraq War.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And you know JD.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Vance was someone who was inspired by nine to eleven
and joined the military because of what was going on.
He was a patriotic American. On the contrary, you look
at Tim Waltz, he looked for an opportunity to exit.
And so for any case, I mean, it's always important
to honor a military veterans, whether they have served or
(14:36):
not served in an active duty in combat zones. But
it's not good to do what the Democrats are doing
and embellished this person's resume. You know, for example, I
teach out a college, but I don't go around saying
that I have a PhD. Because I don't. I teach
out a college, which is a great thing. And likewise,
the way that they're portraying this guy as some you
(14:58):
know American hero Tim Waltz, he's absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Far below that.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
And he's served in Italy, but Italy is not a
combat zone.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Our Afternoon host Jesse Kelly made an interesting play yesterday
when he was talking about this that when he was
serving in Iraq, they would try to sleep as often
as they could, even when they weren't tired, because when
they were asleep, it was like they weren't in Iraq,
because that's how horrible Iraq is. I've never been in
any place as bad as that. But you know, the
(15:31):
timing on this, Christian It's amazing. All of a sudden,
right has this happened? A war is popping off in
Iraq again. You got the Kurds and the Iraqi militants
out there and they're exchanging missiles and rockets. Suddenly with
Israel there could be a major war again in Iraq.
And I just I gotta wonder did Tim Walls think
he was going to be able to avoid talking about
(15:52):
this if he ran for VP.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Well, he probably did.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
And Democrats are the last people that should be talking
about war because they want to go to war so badly.
If you look at the Ukraine War, if you look
at what's happened across the country because of the disastrous
withdrawal from Afghanistan. Democrats have been talking about how great
Joe Biden has done in handling these foreign policy engagements,
(16:20):
and he's done terrible and Kamala Harris has been a
part of that. And so unfortunately Democrats, they have a
really bad record on all of this, and they might
want the drum up a war, you know, just in
time for the election to you know, distract from their
terrible record. But the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan cannot be
(16:43):
written away. If you look at what happened with the
Ukraine war never would have happened. Russia would never have
invaded if President Trump were still there, and you look
at what's happened in Israel that would never have happened.
Tomas would never have attacked them on October seventh. And look,
you know what could happen in China.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
We don't I'm with China, we don't know. I mean,
they could be.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Going after Taiwan right before the election. So this is
very very serious and we have to have serious people
who want peace through strength. And jd Vance is someone
who you want at the helm. He doesn't want war,
but he's a warrior and he can fight, you know,
in that situation. But I guarantee, I think if President
Trump is reelected, I believe that he will get us
(17:26):
out of these wars and people will be afraid again
to go to the war with the United States. That's
what peace through strength is all about.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I mean, it's so true, right Donald Trump had these
what was it, the embargo on Russia, and he had
sanctions on the nord Stream pipeline, and Biden got rid
of all of that almost suspiciously, like he wanted there
to be a war. I mean, I look, it's right
there in front of our face. It's just my two
cents that when after Biden became president, all of a sudden,
we're in wars in almost every major continent. That can't
(17:55):
be a coincidence. And isn't it kind of incredible too
to think back when he did this talk about walls
as a Democrat. The Democrats were kind of anti war
back then. Now, like to your point, they're very much
pro war. It just feels like their entire policy on
foreign policy is such a contradiction from where they were
at twenty years ago, and now they're all at odds
(18:16):
with themselves because they have to explain away of the
fact that the anti war party is suddenly the most
pro war party in American history. How do voters swallow
this trite and naturally believe it?
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yeah, you know, it's really odd how pro war they've become.
But if you want to have a strong military, if
you want to have a big stick and not use it,
then that's what we'll have under President Trump. We need
to have a commander in chief that people look at
across the world as somewhat unpredictable and they fear him
(18:51):
in a good way and they know not to mess
with the United States of America. That's what we have
under President Trump.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And JD.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Vance he's that of leader too. He's been through war,
doesn't want war. That's the types of people we went leading.
That's the types of military leaders we want leading. Not
people that are you know, get their entire campaigns funded
by the military industrial complex.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
We don't want that.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
We don't want you know, leaders who have set on
the board of Boeing and they're the ones trying to
get us into war. And there's a UNI Party in Washington,
Republicans and Democrats alike who both want this.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
But what we.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Really need is people who want to avoid war, and
they've been through war in the case of Jdvance, and
they know how terrible it is, and they want to
do everything that they possibly can to avoid it and
keep their country safe and keep their countrymen. Most importantly,
that's our treasure, our men and women who are serving overseas,
sparing their lives from ever getting to that point.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
That's what we really need, brotherly, from your mouth to
God's ears.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The uniparty is such a problem right now, whether you're
talking about Nikki Haley and her very bizarre relationship with
the military industrial complet.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Or our buddy over at the State Department.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln, actually has millions of dollars
invested in the military industrial complex. His job is to
negotiate away wars, but if he fails at that, he
makes millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Do you think there's anybody else on.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Earth with a job that, were they hypothetically to fail
at it, they'd become a multi multi millionaire many times over.
I can't think of anybody besides him.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You know, that just.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Shows how deep the corruption goes in our government, and
we need to do everything that we can to get
rid of neo kids on the right or the left,
out of positions of authority, and we need to have
peace through strength.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
We need to have a strong military.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
We need to take care of our military men and
women and make sure that they have all the benefits
that they're afforded. But we do not need to be
sending our countrymen off to war unnecessary orders that shouldn't
be fought. And we look at what happened in Iraq
and Afghanistan and a lot of people probably after this situation,
this disasterrous withdrawal, maybe feeling like their entire service for
(21:04):
those twenty years wasn't made. And it's because of terrible
leaders that are in position of authority that did the
absolute worst to leave, you know, to exit Afghanistan, and
you know, we exit Afghanistan, and we're you know, looks
like we're going to be entering into another endless war
and more endless wars, and it's just absurd, and the
(21:27):
military industrial complex continues to make money and people will
continue to die across the world, and it's unnecessary. I
think we've got to get back to a place where
we're putting sanctions on Iran, where making sure that they
don't have the funding to attack Israel, that we're doing
the things that we need to do diplomatically, working things
(21:48):
out in Russia, in Ukraine, making sure that there's compromise
on both sides to find a peaceful solution. And I
know that President Trump can do that. And China needs
to know that they can mess with Taiwan whatsoever. And
Trump is the type of person he'll put sanctions on China,
He'll do whatever he has to do. He'll have fair
(22:10):
trade with them. Most importantly, he'll make a deal. He'll
do whatever he has to do to be tough. And
I can't wait until he takes back the helm in
January of twenty twenty five, and we'll be in a
position where we can be a strong America again.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Brother, I completely agree. I think that was perfectly stated.
And before we wrap up this conversation, here's one more
great SoundBite. I gotta throw out your Christian if you
just turn it on your radio. I'm talking to Christian Collins,
creator at the Texas Youth Summit that is coming up
September twentieth to the twenty first. I'm going to be
there with a bunch of our friends and I'll give
you that lineup again in a second, but real quick though,
Here's Senator Tina Smith. Now she's the Senator of Minnesota.
(22:47):
She has a very personal relationship with Governor Tim Walls,
but also a very personal relationship with JD.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Van says. They both work in the Senate together.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yesterday, as this news was breaking about stolen valor and
the accusations against the governor of Minnesota, this is what
she said during an interview on CNN with Jim Acosta.
CNN's Jim Acosta actually corrects her when she makes a
very confused statement.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Well, here is Tim Walls, who enlisted when he was
seventeen years old. He served in the National Guard for
twenty four years, and I'm not aware of any military
service that Jada Vance has ever served. So let's just
make the comparison there and what happened in the tragedy
of the employed and then the UNREPP. Yeah, okay, pardon
(23:35):
me for that.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
He says she was in the Marines. I mean, Christian,
what do we even do with kytie? Is there even
a response to the SoundBite? It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Well, she's either incompetent and didn't know, or she's a
liar and Unfortunately, I feel like it's the latter. I
think she's a liar. Yeah, I think that Democrats will
tell their base whatever that they need to hear, and
those base will then go and talk to Independence and
that message gets out. Well, our guy's actually served in
(24:05):
work years, hasn't That's not true, and so we need
to make sure that we do everything that we can
to get the message out loud and clear. Because our
base knows that JD. Vance is a great guy. We're
going to support him, but it's Independence. When we're comparing
resumes of JD Vance and Tim Waltz, we need to
make sure that Independence understand who these people are, and
(24:28):
they have a tendency to embellish their resume and lie
quite a lot. JD. Vance my gosh, I mean, he's
thirty nine years old and he's done so much with
his life. He's got a beautiful family. He's an Ivy
League educated lawyer. He's worked in tech and started his
own company, and of course he's had a storied military career.
(24:48):
He comes from Ohio and he's a Midwestern, you know,
russ Belt state guy, and I believe he's the ticket
to help President Trump reach those Swings states that we
so desperately need a Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I think he's the right guy for the job.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
He's going to be a great vice president, and I'm
excited for what sin store for his future.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Christian, I gotta tell you, I'm excited about the Texas
Youth Summit September twentieth to the twenty first. So many
of our friends booked at the event this year. People
coming back from last year include Riley Gaines, Congressman troyan
Nell's is going to be there, yone me park such
an amazing story about being a North Korean refugee. I
was recently a guest on Blaze TV with Sarah Gonzalez,
(25:32):
and I noticed you guy Jacko Bouiaan's there. He's a
human trafficking expert, talks about some of the problems happening
on our border.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Congressman More and Bobert.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Earlier this year, at the inauguration of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry,
I got to meet Donald Trump Junior, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I noticed their booked.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Alex Brucewitz, a regular guest on this show over the years,
is going to be there.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Wesley Hunt just here yesterday.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
This is going to be I think this is the
best lineup yet for the Texas Youth Summit. Not to
mention a lot of great talent from around the city
of Houston, including me, Alex Mieler, and a bunch of
other people.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
Yes, Jenny, thank you so much for participating. You're a
regular and a staple at the Texas Youth Summit and
Texas Youth Summit. We aim to educate young people with
Judeo Christian and conservative values and we're doing the hard

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Texas Youth.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
I'm sorry, lone Star Youth, you can get in for
one dollar for your youth and promo code freedom. Any
adult twenty seven and older can get in and it's
twenty five dollars. It's a great experience, well worth it.
We're going to continue to have great speakers that we're
rolling out.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
We're just forty two.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
Days out and this event is quickly picking up momentum.
It's the best event in the Texas market and we
have it right here in Houston. So it's at the
Woodlands Marriotte September twentieth and twenty first, and we'd be
so blessed to have you there and anyone that wants
to come.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, those promo codes, by the way, you can get

promo code is Freedom for a twenty five dollars ticket.

to Texas Youth Summit dot com. It's so easy to
find it. Christian really excited about this man. Keep up

job with getting young voters mobilized and ready for November.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Kenny, thanks again for having me on. That's right, it's
Texas Youth Summit dot com. And look forward to seeing
everyone there.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Hey, my brother, quick break, we're going to Hollywood right
after this. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
If you can hear my voice you're still above ground,
alive and listening to Kinny Webster on KPRC nine point
fifty plus.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
You don't smell like a dead person, that's true, hopefully
you don't.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, Disney World, apparently people can't afford to go to
Disneyland right now, and Disney World's even more expensive, so
that Disney brand is struggling.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
But that's not the main.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Reason why it's struggling. You know the real reason why
it's struggling. Right, Yeah, Disney went woke? And what's the rule?
What did Trump say when you go woke? You anybody
fill in the blank? Anybody hello, go broke?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Brightbrit To dot com today reporting on Warner Brothers Discovery
announcing it's quarterly earnings. Maybe earnings isn't the right word here,
losses to the tune of get ready for this, eleven
point two billion dollars, guys, Warner Brothers just lost eleven
point two billion dollars with a bee.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Here's a report from Where's this at Yahoo dot com.
Warner Brothers Discovery reported second quarter earnings after the Bell
on Wednesday that missed expectations on both the top and
bottom lines. While the company took a nine point one
billion dollar impairment charge related to its TV networks and
an additional two point one billion in costs related to
the merger, it's eleven point two billion dollars. That impairment
(29:22):
loss related to Warner's TV networks is probably due to
the ongoing death of cable and satellite. You probably don't
have cable or satellite anymore, or if you do, I
bet you're one of the only people you know who
still does. Most people have switched to Hulu or streaming
services right in the age of streaming those TVs thats
are not worth what they were ten years ago. Millions
(29:44):
upon millions upon millions of people are canceling their cable
TV and moving to streaming. Streaming is ala carte. You
don't subscribe to every streaming service, you just get the
ones you want. So the problem for companies like Warner
Brothers or Comcast Infinity is that the streaming money he
doesn't come close to making up for the money they're
losing on cable. There's a number of triggering events here,
(30:06):
including the continued softness in the US ad market. They're
not buying as much ads as they were uncertainty related
to affiliate and sports rights renewals. That particularly is true
with the NBA. I guess nobody knows where that's going
to end up at right now. If you're a TV network,
the soft ad market is what happens in a faltering economy.
(30:26):
Hollywood wanted Joe to be president. So what we have
here is Warner Brothers Discovery getting what it voted for.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Aw.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Did you got what you voted for?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Aw?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Is that exactly what you wanted? But now you don't
want it anymore? Oh? I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Like we've been talking about this for a long time,
these entertainment companies are in deep, deep doodo because they
don't have the affirmative action that is cable TV.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Think about it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
One hundred million American households paid for channels they never
watched for decades, and these left wing multinationals made billions
off those channels and all that content hardly anyone ever watched.
You never watched CNN, but you paid for it. What
did you watch? What did you watch? You watch DESPN?
Speaker 8 (31:08):
What?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Whatd you watch? Country music? TV, CMTV or whatever that's called.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
What else?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Did you watch History Channel? Local networks? You didn't watch Bloomberg?
Nobody watches Bloomberg. You didn't watch CNBC. You know how
many obscure cable channels there were? You didn't watch Viceland,
did you? I could go on and on with this, guys.
Some of the most worthless stuff on cable. You never
watched the own network, Oprah's network. You never watched the
(31:35):
soap opera network. You ever watched the Weather Channel? I
bet you don't put it on unless there's a hurricane.
You ever watch TV Land or the Lifetime Movie Network.
You ever watched c SPAN three? All right, well that
technically we're paying for that anyway because it's public TV.
But you don't watch it. You don't want Maybe do
you watch the Golf Channel? I bet most of you
don't Hallmark. Nobody's watching this stuff. You pay for it. Look,
(31:58):
I'm not gonna go keep beating the dead horse here,
but you understand what I'm saying. One hundred million American
households paid for this stuff. They never looked at it.
There's no making up for that loss. All that free
unearned money's gone. Go Look at the stock prices of
all these entertainment companies. Is everybody's canceling cable TV. The
stock prices for these companies just keep dropping and dropping
(32:20):
and dropping. In times are tough right now in the
liberal media, I mean, like really tough. Apparently they're laying
off people whose job it is to complain about Fox News. No,
that was a job several months ago. Now it's not anymore.
Do you know Oliver Darcy is Oliver Darcy gets paid
by CNN to complain about Fox News. Well, now left
(32:46):
wing sensor and anti free speech activist Oliver Darcy.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Is out at CNN.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
They didn't explain why, but it's no secret that CNN
is in deep financial trouble. The left wing propaganda outlets
slash some two thousand positions, including one hundred layoffs alone
this year, just yesterday CNN's parent company. Why don't we
just explained it? The huge loss there Warner Brothers Discovery,
that's who owns him. CNN's biggest problem is tens of
(33:11):
millions who are moving to streaming services. You're not watching CNN,
nobody else is either. So if this guy's only job
at CNN was to watch Fox News, and complain about it.
What do they need to pay him for? The guy's
a liar, so it's not a big loss. CNN's only
hope right now is improve its ratings regain its incredibility,
(33:32):
and one way to do both of those things is
to fire guys like Oliver Darcy. If CNN wants to
shake its reputation as a national joke, it needs to
fire all the people like Jim Acosta wolf Blitzer. Nobody
gives a damn about Jake Tapper. Oliver spent his whole
career at CNN in a McCarthyite rage of the anti Americanism,
(33:53):
looking to blacklist and censor right of center opinions. That's
all he did. He's a naked fascist. His only agenda
is to silence, purge, and criminalize the ideas of anyone
he disagrees with, and that's Christians, Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, populists, nationalists,
and constitutionalists. Which one are you? Apparently he intends to
(34:16):
start his own fake newsletter. I'm sure he'll make a
comfortable living lying to an audience of leftists who want
to be lied to.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
He'll be fine. I'm Kenny Webster. I love you all.
