Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is deluxe.
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile. Of a suit
of happiness us on your radio, Toyle just as Cheeseburg
lib Rise at the food.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Today is Oh God, do we really have to do this?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Today is lash Stylist Day. Really lash Stylist Day. That's
a thing. Apparently some members of the Jenner family are
spending the day getting their eyelashes trimmed and curled. No
word yet though on how they're going to celebrate lash
Stylist Day. Hi, Kenny Webster, thanks for joining us. So
(00:49):
great to have you here. It is a Tuesday afternoon.
It's a special Foreign policy edition of Kenny Webster's Pursuit
of Happiness. And for good reason, as it turns out,
as war's rage around the world. Let's go Brandon. Joe
Biden is addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New
York City for the last time as the Commander in
Thief excuse me, commander in chief. And that just happened.
(01:12):
He just wrapped that up a little bit ago. And
during his remarks, Biden said things can get better around
the globe. He said things can get better. Well, they
can get better, that's true.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Can't help.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
But notice though a lot of these problems that Joe
Biden says they're going to improve soon didn't exist before
he was president. Things can get better, says Joe. We
should never forget that. I actually agree with that point.
I think I think he has a good point there.
Things can get better, but probably not while he's president,
and probably not if his vice president gets elected. But
(01:45):
after rambling about his time in public office, Biden called
on the UN to restore its mission as peacekeepers. Now,
for the record, that is a task that they abandoned
a long time ago, probably because I mean, at least
in part. You know, our Secretary of State, Antony Blincoln.
You don't hear about him a lot these days. It's
(02:06):
his job to negotiate away wars. Did you know that
that's kind of what he does. It's his job to
have conversations with foreign countries that may or may not
get into It's one of the things the head of
diplomacy does as leader of the United States of America,
as the Secretary of State had diplomatic leader of the
United States of America. Did you know that he has
(02:27):
millions of dollars millions of dollars invested in the military
industrial complex. That means if he screws up at his job,
he becomes very rich and powerful. I mean he's already
very powerful, becomes very rich. President Joe Biden said that
Putin's invasion of Ukraine has failed.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's what he says.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Good news is Putin's wars failed. Is that is kora Ain.
He set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine is still free.
You set out the weekend NATO. But NATO is bigger, stronger,
more U nine than ever before, with two new members
Finland and Sweden.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Let's stop right there. He's made a couple of interesting
points there. He said Putin set out to destroy Ukraine.
Now that's not true. Putin set out to conquer Ukraine,
and he's done it more than once. Does everybody remember
the crimea Peninsula? We seem to forget this thing going
on right now in Ukraine. It's not the first time
this has recently happened. There was already an invasion of Ukraine.
(03:30):
It already happened, and they won. They succeeded at that
will they succeed this time?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, this time.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
We're funding the war. Honestly, we're kind of funding both
sides of the war. But we'll get into that later.
We've discussed that so many times before. And Biden also
in that SoundBite you just heard Bragg that there are
now new countries in the UN Finland and Sweden NATO,
excuse me, not the UN, the NATO Alliance.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do you get the impression you do?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
You get the impress that Finland and Sweden are contributing
their fair share to NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
They're not contributed, not any more than any other country
in NATO. Is that's just more countries that we have
to pay for and protect. Look, say what you want
about Donald Trump, but he was right about this. There's
(04:20):
a lot of countries in NATO that are just free
loading off of us, right, Joe, But we cannot let up.
Oh okay, Well, I think he's getting tired there. He's
kind of running out of steam.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So Joe Biden says the world is a better place
now than it was what five minutes ago, because it's
certainly not better than it was four years ago. And meanwhile,
Iran's new president is in New York and enjoining the
freedoms of America. The Granian president is a guy named Pezeshkian,
and he is so dedicated to countering the evil, imperious,
(04:52):
imperialist US regime that he brought his two sons, daughters,
and son in law with him to New York City
for the new UN General Assembly. And I guess he's
just hanging out, going shopping on Park Avenue, enjoying all
the local restaurants, really having a great time there. Take that, America.
You know, radical Islamic terrorism is once again a growing
(05:13):
threat to our national security and the world. And it
wasn't that way a few years ago. Okay, so things
are worse than Ukraine, clearly than they were. Zelenski says,
Ukraine's war with Russia is closer to an end. He
just needs a little more money. We were told this before,
you guys. It's not the first time this has happened.
(05:35):
He's made this point more than one once. If you
just give me a little more money, the war.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Will end soon. Yeah, fool me once. Shame on you. Right.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Meanwhile, airlines are suspending more Lebanon flights as the Israeli
air strikes are taking place. You got Hesbola popping off.
You got Hamas popping off. The she Heites in the
Sunnies really hate each other. But one thing they hate
more than each other is Us and the Jews. They
really don't like the Jews. Kamala Harris, at the debate
a couple weeks back, made the point that there are
(06:05):
no longer American troops anywhere on Earth that are involved
in war, and that is just not true. There's war
happening in Syria right now. There's war happening in Iraq.
There's also war happening in Yemen. Speaking of Sunni vershiait
there was a war taking place in Yemen between Iran
and Saudi Arabia over who will control that region of
(06:26):
the world and ray When things started getting real bad
in Israel, Iran in Saudi Arabia both pulled back from
the war and then the US and the Brits took over,
and apparent according to the Yameni leader, the US UK
airstrikes that have been taking place in that region have
not seriously hurt the Houthi rebels capabilities. So what exactly
(06:48):
is going on there we don't know. We do know
that in Syria, a country with a dictator, they say,
Bashar as'ad you remember him. Their government's in great shape
right now. In fact, he just I pointed a whole
new cabinet, out with the old, in with the new.
So's Joe Biden today speaks in front of the United
Nations to tell you things can get better. What he's
(07:10):
really telling us is things are very bad right now
under four years of Joe Biden's leadership. And what he's
not saying is that under four years of Kamala's leadership,
it's probably gonna get much worse.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Till the government.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I started listening to the Jews Proceeds of Happiness radio
with Cana Websterngitia aka producer Kenny.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
This is hard to listen to what I'm about to
tell you. I mean, hopefully the radio show is not
hard to listen to, but I had a hard time
digesting the news I'm about to share with you because,
as you may or may not be aware, I lift.
I enjoy lifting weights. I'm one of those guys I
obnoxiously talk about it all the time because I don't
have a personality. Okay, that's not entirely true, but I
do like talking about it because I think it's funny,
(07:56):
and I think that when we talk about it a lot,
we're kind of making fun of those people that talk
about it. You know, the CrossFit guy, you know the
vegan guy. Look, you know, I like poking fun at
those people because, much like when you meet an airline pilot,
somebody who lifts just loves to tell you that they lift.
But what they never tell you is stories like this.
(08:16):
A woman's arm muscles broke down and released chemicals, toxic
chemicals into her body that almost killed her because.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
She did too many pull ups.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I would just like to point out that I have
never encountered this problem while eating a chili dog.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's never happened to me, So you know, carry on,
be safe.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I don't want to endanger your lives out there, but
just know, if you go eat a chili dog today,
it might actually be safer than doing a bunch of
pull ups. The evidence speaks for itself. Speaking of evidence,
they just arrested the sun of the second Trump assassin,
a second attempted Trump assassin, and obviously Trump's still alive.
(09:01):
The son of that man whose name I will not
say on the radio because I'm not trying to make
him more famous. Has just been charged with a pretty
serious crime. No, wasn't trying to kill somebody. He was
in possession of child pornography. I gotta think, right after murder,
probably the second worst thing you could do is sexually
exploiting a child. That's right up there in the top
(09:23):
five for sure. The young man is facing I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Know how old he is. He's an adult. Apparently he's
not a young man. Or in Roth, that's his name.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
He's facing federal charges for the possession of child pornography
after investigators searched his home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The
search was in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation,
and the unrelated investigation is indeed in reference to his father, who,
as you know, was arrested on the fourteenth of this
month in connection to the second attempted assassination of Donald
(09:55):
Trump in Florida. According to the report, investigation seized multiple
electronic devices and found hundreds of files depicting child sexual abuse.
He now faces two charges of possessing and receiving child
sexual abuse material, and the arrest follows the Biden Harris
(10:16):
Justice Department releasing a letter allegedly penned by the father
of this guy, the actual attempted assassin, who is offering
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to whomever can complete
the job and murder Trump.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Isn't that crazy? Why would they put that out there?
Why would they?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
They won't even release the manifesto from the transgender Nashville
school shooter. Why would they release this? Florida has opened
its own investigation into what took place, good because frankly,
I don't trust the DOJ, not after what they just did.
(10:51):
You know, it's interesting about this young man getting arrested
for child pornography. The nut does not fall far from
the nutsack, doesn't It probably not too shocking that both
the son and the father seem to hate Trump. The
dad tried to assassinate Trump, and the son as a
child pervert purportedly Democrats just being Democrats guys. Speaking of Democrats,
(11:19):
Derek Hunter at townhall dot Com recently asked a question
I think we should pay attention to.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What can you do.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
When the enemy of your country is in your country?
What can you do when the enemy of your country
is in your country? Look, it's too late to keep
them out. So what do you do? Can you defeat them,
can you crush them, can you deport them? Or do
you just simply get the hell out of your own
house as quickly as possible in such a way that
(11:46):
there is no ambiguity about them never being welcome to return.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Do you get them out? Do you get out? What
do you do?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Frankly, that's what needs to be done with Democrats this November.
And I mean figuratively, not literally.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We need to.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
It would have been easy to think as I made
that statement and asked that question, I was talking about
the border. I mean, Democrats love the invasion of the
third world into our country. They encourage it, they pay
for it. They import those who can't afford to walk
in from Mexico, they fly him up here. For that alone,
(12:22):
they should be impeached. They should be tried for using
government funds for their personal and professional gain. But that's
really not the worst of it, is it now? No,
it's not not by a loan shot. One week after
that radical Democrat absolutely dedicated to dumping endless amounts of
(12:43):
money into Ukraine, plotted to murder Donald Trump, the Biden
Harris administration flew Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the swing
state of Pennsylvania to visit a weapons factory so he
could thank the workers there.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Why did we do that?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
There could be no clearer use of federal government resources
for a presidential campaign than if Kamala Harris started renting
out the Lincoln bedroom like the Clintons did. Now, in
this case, I think both sides are prostitutes. This is
all highly unethical. It should be illegal to fly in
the leader of a foreign country to go to campaign stops.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But this doesn't matter to Democrats.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It certainly doesn't matter to their communications department, appendage the
national liberal media, because they all live by one simple role.
Does it help them politically, That's the only question they're
trying to ask. They don't care if it impacts the
country in a negative way. It doesn't matter. If it
benefits them, it's okay. They will release violent, dangerous criminals
(13:51):
into the streets of your city. Seconds after they're arrested
for violent crimes. Those same criminals go back out on
the street and assault people, and then the local Democrat
officials will say, see, the gun laws aren't strict enough. No, no,
the laws are strict enough. You're just not enforcing them.
(14:13):
Remember how during the Trump administration, every single day, people
like Mika Brazinski and Joe Scarborough and that gang of
ladies on MSNBC would gasp and clutch their implants while
what passes for men would pretend to be angry of
the norms of old being swept aside by some mean tweet.
(14:34):
Joe and Kamala. In fact, we're going to restore the
norms the Trump had destroyed with his refusing to conform
to their wishes. Remember that, Remember restoring the norms? And
then what did they do? They brought transgender activists to
the front lawn of the White House where they walked
around and showed their bare breasts in front of children.
That was restoring the norms. So when I hear that
(14:59):
they flew the Linski in to visit a weapons factory
in Pennsylvania and bank the workers, and that he was
actually flown in using federal funds, the first thing I
think about is Kamala Harris's political campaign, because it's not
a coincidence they flew him into a swing state. They
flew a US puppet to a swing state to campaign
(15:19):
and complain about the Republican ticket. What does the liberal
media have to say? Nothing silence. Democrats impeached Trump for
suggesting to Zelenski that if the Biden family were engaging
in corrupt practices in Ukraine, we'd like to know about
it in this country, but using him as a campaign
tool that is aoka with the left. Zelensky, likely reading
(15:45):
talking points provided to him by the Harris campaign, complained
to The New Yorker magazine about Trump and JD.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Vance, saying, quote.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
My feeling is that Trump doesn't really know how to
stop the war, even if he might think he knows how.
With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it,
the less you understand.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Somehow, the people who empowered Putin, who endorsed Kamala Harris
to invade in the first place, of a magical understanding
of how to end the war. They just haven't managed
to come remotely close to doing it yet. But I'm
sure they know how. Zelensky canceled his own country's elections
in an attempt to preserve democracy. Explain that one kids,
(16:30):
Zelensky has been pretty worthless as a leader of his
own country. He's had more than his country's GDP dumped
into his lap in the form of cash and weapons.
Yet he can't repel a feeble Russian military so bloated
and corrupt it could barely function in and of itself.
Not for their nuclear weapons, Russia could easily be ignored
by the world were it not for Biden and Harris
(16:53):
empowering Putin through European energy cash money we could have
earned by providing energy to them ourselves, all the while
Harris and Biden crippling the US production of energy. Vlad
wouldn't have the money necessary to keep his hold on power,
So yeah, the Democrats did help him out. The Democratic
(17:15):
campaign of the sitting vice president uses taxpayer dollars to
fly a foreign leader who leads the most financially corrupt
country on the planet, one that has paid the son
of the sitting president millions, and god knows how many
other family members of the Democrats to the United States
to complain about the Republican nominee in the all important
swing state of Pennsylvania, and the Democrat media reports it
(17:37):
as if it's completely normal. It might not quite technically
be treason, but it's certainly in the neighborhood. It lives
right down the street and it's miles away from where
all these people claim to be when they were so
upset over mean tweets and the norms of old These
people are prostitutes. The prostitutes Hunter Biden paid to humiliate
(18:00):
and abuse, many of whom were likely trafficked underage. Ukrainians
and other Eastern Europeans had about as much dignity individually
as the Democrat Party and the media have collectively, which
makes sense if you think about it, considering they're basically
all in the same business. It's never too early to
learn that the government is a greedy piglet that suckles
(18:22):
on a taxpayer's teat until they have sore, chapped nipples.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
The Pursuit of happiness Radio on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Music has changed a lot since the nineteen sixties, hasn't it,
Especially rap music. Hi, Kenny Wester're back from break here.
I was just taking a good long look at our
judicial system in this country, criminal justice. How do we
handle dangerous violent criminals. I have a position on the
death penalty that seems to upset conservatives as much as
it upsets liberals and libertarians. I'll just go out and
(18:57):
throw it at you if you don't like it, that's fine.
You can disagree with me. I support the death penalty.
I support the death penalty, but I'm a death penalty realist.
Some people will tell you we need to support the
death penalty because it lowers the number of murders. No,
it doesn't. There's no proof of that. There is no
proof that in countries or states where the death penalty
exists that the homicide rate goes down. That's just not true.
(19:21):
Other people will say, wow, I support the death penalty
because it saves the taxpayers money.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No it doesn't. No, no, No.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
All those appeals that are filed while somebody's on death
row actually costs the taxpayers a lot more money than
it would cost to just put somebody in a prison
cell for the rest of their life.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That is relatively cheap compared.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
To all the millions and millions of dollars you have
to pay all those lawyers and judges and hearings and
court case sate. It cost a lot of money to
do all that. Executing someone's very expensive. So it doesn't
lower crime, and it certainly doesn't save the taxpayers any money.
Then what's the point of doing it. I can only
(20:00):
we find one good reason to keep the death penalty.
It makes the loved ones, the family members and friends
of the victim happier knowing that the person who killed
their loved one is no longer on this earth. Now,
that's a touchy angle to approach the situation from, because
(20:20):
what if all the evidence in the court case is wrong?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Oh, I know, it's true. Those things happen.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Sometimes somebody gets arrested, they get wrongfully accused of murder,
and then after they're executed, we suddenly figure out later on,
oh no, this person wasn't actually guilty. The good news
is here in the twenty first century, what with DNA
evidence and video and fingerprint analysis, it's a lot less
common nowadays than it used to be, at least we
(20:50):
think so. Even still, once in a while and innocent
person ends up on death row. I was just reading
about this Marcellus Williams at the Washington Examiner. Even for
those of you who in theory support the death penalty
for hainous crimes, this case is something of a travesty.
(21:12):
Williams is almost certainly innocent, and the Supreme Court should
probably block the execution. I didn't know anything about this
case until I started reading about it. In this report
is a piece that was published about it, and after
following the internal links to the original court documents, kind
of noticed there's a lot of mind boggling evidence not
(21:34):
just casting doubt on the guilt of this person, Marcellus Williams,
but almost completely proving his innocence. What we're seeing here
is the distinct possibility that an innocent man is about
to be murdered. All right, so you're probably wondering, Kenya,
what the heck happened? Tell me the story. It goes
like this in a January court filing Saint Louis County.
(21:56):
You've heard of it before. The Saint Louis County prosecuting
attorney Wesley Belt a liberal, but not like a radical democrat.
A liberal but not a liberal Democrat, not like so
far to the left, Betty.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You know, it's like some kind of communist or something.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Laid out the evidence for William's actual innocence in a
nineteen ninety eight murder of one Felicia Gale. Felicia Gail
was a reporter who was stabbed forty three times in
an apparent home robbery. The evidence is compelling, bordering on overwhelming.
Listen to this from the report. The crime scene was
rife with physical evidence. The weapon, a kitchen knife, was
(22:36):
left lodged in miss Gale's neck. Bloody shoeprints were present
near a knife sheath in the kitchen, in the hallway
leading to the front foyer, and on the rug near
Miss Gale's body. Bloody fingerprints were found along the wall.
Hares believed to belong to the perpetrator were collected from
Miss Gale's T shirt, her hands, and the floor. Think
(22:57):
about this, shoeprince fingerprints, a bloody knife, hair has DNA
all at the scene. None of that evidence, I repeat,
none matched the suspect here, the guy that's on trial,
mister Williams. Scientific testing completely rolled out Williams as a
possible match for all that stuff. Williams was explicitly excluded
(23:21):
as a source for all of that evidence. In fact,
three separate DNA experts excluded Williams as the source of
the male DNA on the handle of the murder weapon.
If there is DNA on the bloody handle of a
weapon that remains embedded in the victim's body, and the
DNA is absolutely not that of the man convicted of
(23:41):
the murder, then it is almost physically impossible for the
convict actually to have committed the crime. When this is
combined with testing of hairs believed to belong to the
perpetrator that were collected from miss Gale's T shirt and
her hands in the floor, and none of those hairs
come close to matching the convicts, then nobody in his
(24:03):
right mind would believe this guy was actually guilty. The
main testimony tying Williams to the murder came from an
utterly unreliable source, a multiple recidivist criminal offender for more
than thirty years all across the country, one whose story
(24:26):
about Williams changed with almost every retelling. Despite the inconsistencies
of the story of the witness Cole's story and other inmate,
or his lengthy criminal history, his use of drugs, his
mental illness, police apparently looked only for evidence to support
what he told them. The other testimony came from William's
(24:50):
girlfriend at the time, who was a drug using prostitute.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Police told her she.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Was guilty of withholding evidence if she did not cooperate
with their attempt to nail Williams for the crime, and
the grow friends story, by the way, did not match
that of the criminal who said Williams had confessed the
murder to him. Cole is the guy's name in the
report here. Now again there's a court motion. You could
read the whole thing online yourself. It is utterly convincing
(25:19):
that Williams did not commit the crime. So this isn't
a matter of stopping an execution because of a mere
procedural row error. Marcellus Williams is innocent in my humble
opinion and the opinion of a lot of other people.
Hopefully today, at some point, the nation's highest court, the
Supreme Court, will not let the state kill an innocent man.
(25:42):
Scary stuff, but that is exactly what is taking place
today in our nation's judicial system. Remarkable, isn't it things
like this still happen after all these years. The world's
changed a lot since back in the twentieth century or
the nineteenth century. The way we handle court cases, our
(26:06):
understandings of medicine and health and nutrition, even things like parenting.
Parenting advice is wild because there's so much of it
coming from so many different directions. I would imagine a
young parent out there would be pretty overwhelmed with all
the different information you could be inundated with when you
(26:27):
go looking for advice on how to raise a child.
There's this parenting book from nineteen twenty six called how
to Raise the Baby, which has advice on it that's
so terrible. It recently went viral and people are in
absolute shock of some of the things that told people.
(26:49):
For example, in the book, it says some others, in
an attempt to soothe the child, allow thumb sucking of
the or the use of pacifiers. This is most objectionable.
Constant thumb sucking often causes deformity of jaw and mouth
and crooked teeth. Turns out that's not true. Pacifiers are
recommended to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
(27:13):
The book also says it's now considered advisable to give
cod liver oil to infants before the end of the
first month. Turns out cod liver oil is not recommended
for infants under one year of age. It's not good
for their health. Here's another one rules for the mother
preceding birth. She should not attend plays, read books, or
(27:33):
frequent company, which may destroy the peace of her mind
or get her in an over excited condition.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Huh, it's ridiculous. Right, you're allowed to do all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Okay, maybe you shouldn't go scuba diving or ice skating,
but I would think watching a play would be fine.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Right.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
They also said the best bed for a baby is
one made out of iron or brass. Apparently that's not
good strangulation suffocation the kid can get stuck in the bars.
The point is there's a lot of bad advice here.
I actually found this old school film from one hundred
years ago. Back in the early twentieth century old film
(28:13):
strip they used to show people about how to raise babies,
and the advice isn't much better.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Tu, folks, are you struggling with how to raise your
bundle of joy? Boy, we grab a pencil and listen.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Up.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
From the groundbreaking book of nineteen twenty six, we've got
modern baby advice you don't want to miss. First, be
sure to dip your baby in cold water each morning.
It's invigorating, vigorating. Second, don't spoil them with too much affection.
A firm handshake will suffice. And remember, if a baby cries,
(28:47):
simply feed them on a strict schedule, even if they're
screaming for more. What's the Bee's Knees of baby rearing advice?
So get with the times. You're listening to the Pursuit
of Happiness radio.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I guess it's not available in Canada.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Employees that is zoo in China. Chinese zoo workers got
caught painting dogs to make them look like pandas. And
if you think that's bad, we won't even talk about
their ana condas you don't want to hear.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But much worse, really really offensive stuff. Folks.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Hi, welcome back from break. I'm Kenny Webster. I was
just looking at polling data here from NBC News. We
talked about this on the morning show, So forgive me
if you're hearing me repeat myself, but I think this
is worth repeating. NBC News went out and they talked
to voters national polling data. This isn't just the swing states.
That's notable for a reason, and they ask people what
are the four most important issues and they have different categories.
(29:45):
Turns out abortion not the most important issue, not in
the top four. Transgender stuff LGBTQ also not in the
top four.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thank god.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Things that they like to talk about aren't actually the
things that are the most important, So what is the
most important? While crime, crime was in the top four,
the economy was in the top four, and then the
other two things in the top four kind of sounded
like crime in the economy, but they were different. Immigration. Okay,
immigration sounds like crime, Well, it's in its own category.
And then inflation in the cost of living again, doesn't
(30:19):
that sound like it should be the economy, Yeah, it should,
but they added its own separate category.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
So of those four things, how did Trump do against Kamala?
According to NBC News, Trump beats Kamala on all of them,
sometimes by more than double digits, way ahead of her,
ahead of her by like twenty points on immigration, the economy, crime,
cost of living, inflation. Most voters, the vast majority of
(30:45):
voters think Trump can handle those things better than Kamala can.
And then in the same poll, NBC News poll says
Kamala leads Trump by four points. What does that mean?
It means it means the national polls. We'll start with that.
It doesn't matter what the national polls say. The national
(31:06):
poles are irrelevant. Trump's probably going to get all the
red states. Kamala is probably going to get all the
blue states. It only matters who wins the swing states Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, Arizona,
the Carolinas. It's the only places that matter. Anybody telling
you otherwise is lying to you. I want you to
(31:31):
imagine you live in a home and the home is
on fire. What would you do if the home was
on fire? Would you get your loved ones out of
the home, find your children and your dog, and get
everybody out of the house. That would be an important
thing to do. I would assume you'd probably be willing
to risk your life and your own safety to help
your children, and probably help your dog or your cat too, hopefully.
(31:56):
What else would you do? Would you get a hose
put the fire out? Obviously called the fire apartment? Solving
the problem of a burning building. Seems like the solution
is very obvious, doesn't it escape from the house, try
to put the fire up. This is the problem with
(32:18):
government spending. Everybody could see clear as day, much like
a house that's on fire. What's wrong The government's spending
too much money. Kamala's solution to every problem is to
spend money like it's water. When she does give a
policy position, It almost always involves spending money, and it
never involves working with the resources we already have. We're
(32:43):
spending money we don't have, and it's making the problems
worse because that's the cause of inflation. So government spending
is out of control. Christopher Tremagley recently published a report
and started off with those very words. Everybody knows that
that's not shocking news. It's not particularly new surprising. Reckless
fiscal policy has led to record high inflation. It's added
(33:04):
trillions of dollars to the country's national debt. Everybody knows
that a very precarious situation. Unfortunately, it's all but ignored
by most politicians. Most American politicians, whether they're governing a
state or a city or coming up with laws, they're
promoting policy and engaging and spending as if the government
(33:26):
could print money on demand without consequence.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
We can't.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I mean, yeah, we could print money on demand, but
there are huge consequences. It's fiscal irresponsibility, and it's become
one of the greatest long term threats to national security.
I don't think anybody speaks as articulately on this issue
as Rand Paul does. The Junior Senator at Kentucky last
week announced a proposal that he could balance the budget
(33:53):
within five years five years. He calls it the sixpenny plan.
I would say, looking at the plan here, it is
a viable solution to the national debt. It could help
us solve the looming financial crisis. It's a very logical
solution that politicians on both sides of the aisle should embrace,
(34:14):
which means they won't. Seven years ago, we could balance
our budget with a freeze in spending without cutting anything.
Since then, the national debt is skyrocketed to thirty five
trillion dollars six point six trillion of that money just
in the past few years. Americans all across the country
(34:36):
are struggling to make ends meet, and it is not
a coincidence that the inflation crisis happened right as spending
got out of control. This is the greatest threat to
our national security. It's not Muslims, it's not QAnon terrorists,
it's not even what's happening at the border. The greatest
threat to our national security is our debt. We are
(35:00):
now in a situation that a simple penny, two, three,
or even five pennies per dollar reduction is insufficient to
balance our budget. It actually requires six. We cannot keep
ignoring this problem at the expensive taxpayers. That's why it's
called the six penny plan. The national debt and the
problem that the national debt causes have been largely forgotten
(35:26):
about by the public. Imagine if your house was on fire,
but it had been on fire so many times in
the past, you just didn't care. Nobody paid attention whatever
old news. Despite the seemingly contemporary political irrelevance, fiscal responsibility
(35:47):
is vital to the country. Ram Paul's got a lot
of great points here. He elaborated on some of the
horrifying problems related to the national debt. The release specified
that in less than half a year, between February and June,
the Congressional Budget Office reported the government will add another
(36:07):
four hundred and fifty billion dollars to the national debt.
And imagine we did that during a lame duck session
of Congress, the brief little time period when very few
new laws are being passed, and somehow we still manage
to come up with one hundred, five hundred half a
trillion dollars in debt. Suffice to say that our national
debt is a serious problem. So that is why it
(36:31):
is called the sixpenny Plan. We can rein in the
government by cutting sixpennies off every dollar projected to be
spent in the next five fiscal years. The plan would
reduce spending by three hundred and twenty nine billion dollars
in the first year. It won't be a popular idea
among liberals, but it might save the country.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I hope it works. I hope people listen to them. Nationally.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
A lot of problems we have in this country seemed
to just be problems we had before that we ignored.
So I'm going to climb out on a limb here
and guess we probably won't do anything about it. But
before I leave you, I do like leaving you with
a little bit of good news. A fifth grade teacher
in Pauw Pauw, Michigan, is in the news after posting
a video about why he eats lunch with his students
(37:22):
every day. He says he thinks it's important to connect
with the kids in a real way, and this is
how he does it.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Here's Dan Shoots talking about his strategy.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
So I lunch in the cafeteria almost every single day
and here's why.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
So I teach with grade. In the eight years of
doing this.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
This is the most effective thing that I have to
get to know my students on a personal level. And
what happened when I walked into the cafeteria today and
I sat down next to a couple of my new kids.
Instantly two or three more down the table were like, Hey,
can you eat.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Lunch with me tomorrow?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
Because we can all agree that in this job and
education and teaching, the single most important thing we can
do is build a relationship with every single kid that
walks in the door. We can't do our job without it.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
How about that.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Imagine that teachers who actually care you don't hear them
out that much anymore unless they're unls, they're doing something creepy. God,
I hope that guy isn't doing something creepy. Let's assume
he's not. Let's assume he isn't. Hey, I'm Kenny Webster.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I love you all.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Thank you so much for listening. I pray for you,
God bless you all. I'll be back bright and early
tomorrow morning with the whole gang and more of what
you bought a radio for right here on KP HEREC
nine p.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Fifty.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
You are listening to the pursuit of having this radio.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is deluxe.
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile. Of a suit
of happiness us on your radio, Toyle just as Cheeseburg
lib Rise at the food.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Today is Oh God, do we really have to do this?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Today is lash Stylist Day. Really lash Stylist Day. That's
a thing. Apparently some members of the Jenner family are
spending the day getting their eyelashes trimmed and curled. No
word yet though on how they're going to celebrate lash
Stylist Day. Hi, Kenny Webster, thanks for joining us. So
(00:49):
great to have you here. It is a Tuesday afternoon.
It's a special Foreign policy edition of Kenny Webster's Pursuit
of Happiness. And for good reason, as it turns out,
as war's rage around the world. Let's go Brandon. Joe
Biden is addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New
York City for the last time as the Commander in
Thief excuse me, commander in chief. And that just happened.
(01:12):
He just wrapped that up a little bit ago. And
during his remarks, Biden said things can get better around
the globe. He said things can get better. Well, they
can get better, that's true.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Can't help.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
But notice though a lot of these problems that Joe
Biden says they're going to improve soon didn't exist before
he was president. Things can get better, says Joe. We
should never forget that. I actually agree with that point.
I think I think he has a good point there.
Things can get better, but probably not while he's president,
and probably not if his vice president gets elected. But
(01:45):
after rambling about his time in public office, Biden called
on the UN to restore its mission as peacekeepers. Now,
for the record, that is a task that they abandoned
a long time ago, probably because I mean, at least
in part. You know, our Secretary of State, Antony Blincoln.
You don't hear about him a lot these days. It's
(02:06):
his job to negotiate away wars. Did you know that
that's kind of what he does. It's his job to
have conversations with foreign countries that may or may not
get into It's one of the things the head of
diplomacy does as leader of the United States of America,
as the Secretary of State had diplomatic leader of the
United States of America. Did you know that he has
(02:27):
millions of dollars millions of dollars invested in the military
industrial complex. That means if he screws up at his job,
he becomes very rich and powerful. I mean he's already
very powerful, becomes very rich. President Joe Biden said that
Putin's invasion of Ukraine has failed.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's what he says.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Good news is Putin's wars failed. Is that is kora Ain.
He set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine is still free.
You set out the weekend NATO. But NATO is bigger, stronger,
more U nine than ever before, with two new members
Finland and Sweden.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Let's stop right there. He's made a couple of interesting
points there. He said Putin set out to destroy Ukraine.
Now that's not true. Putin set out to conquer Ukraine,
and he's done it more than once. Does everybody remember
the crimea Peninsula? We seem to forget this thing going
on right now in Ukraine. It's not the first time
this has recently happened. There was already an invasion of Ukraine.
(03:30):
It already happened, and they won. They succeeded at that
will they succeed this time?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, this time.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
We're funding the war. Honestly, we're kind of funding both
sides of the war. But we'll get into that later.
We've discussed that so many times before. And Biden also
in that SoundBite you just heard Bragg that there are
now new countries in the UN Finland and Sweden NATO,
excuse me, not the UN, the NATO Alliance.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do you get the impression you do?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
You get the impress that Finland and Sweden are contributing
their fair share to NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
They're not contributed, not any more than any other country
in NATO. Is that's just more countries that we have
to pay for and protect. Look, say what you want
about Donald Trump, but he was right about this. There's
(04:20):
a lot of countries in NATO that are just free
loading off of us, right, Joe, But we cannot let up.
Oh okay, Well, I think he's getting tired there. He's
kind of running out of steam.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So Joe Biden says the world is a better place
now than it was what five minutes ago, because it's
certainly not better than it was four years ago. And meanwhile,
Iran's new president is in New York and enjoining the
freedoms of America. The Granian president is a guy named Pezeshkian,
and he is so dedicated to countering the evil, imperious,
(04:52):
imperialist US regime that he brought his two sons, daughters,
and son in law with him to New York City
for the new UN General Assembly. And I guess he's
just hanging out, going shopping on Park Avenue, enjoying all
the local restaurants, really having a great time there. Take that, America.
You know, radical Islamic terrorism is once again a growing
(05:13):
threat to our national security and the world. And it
wasn't that way a few years ago. Okay, so things
are worse than Ukraine, clearly than they were. Zelenski says,
Ukraine's war with Russia is closer to an end. He
just needs a little more money. We were told this before,
you guys. It's not the first time this has happened.
(05:35):
He's made this point more than one once. If you
just give me a little more money, the war.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Will end soon. Yeah, fool me once. Shame on you. Right.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Meanwhile, airlines are suspending more Lebanon flights as the Israeli
air strikes are taking place. You got Hesbola popping off.
You got Hamas popping off. The she Heites in the
Sunnies really hate each other. But one thing they hate
more than each other is Us and the Jews. They
really don't like the Jews. Kamala Harris, at the debate
a couple weeks back, made the point that there are
(06:05):
no longer American troops anywhere on Earth that are involved
in war, and that is just not true. There's war
happening in Syria right now. There's war happening in Iraq.
There's also war happening in Yemen. Speaking of Sunni vershiait
there was a war taking place in Yemen between Iran
and Saudi Arabia over who will control that region of
(06:26):
the world and ray When things started getting real bad
in Israel, Iran in Saudi Arabia both pulled back from
the war and then the US and the Brits took over,
and apparent according to the Yameni leader, the US UK
airstrikes that have been taking place in that region have
not seriously hurt the Houthi rebels capabilities. So what exactly
(06:48):
is going on there we don't know. We do know
that in Syria, a country with a dictator, they say,
Bashar as'ad you remember him. Their government's in great shape
right now. In fact, he just I pointed a whole
new cabinet, out with the old, in with the new.
So's Joe Biden today speaks in front of the United
Nations to tell you things can get better. What he's
(07:10):
really telling us is things are very bad right now
under four years of Joe Biden's leadership. And what he's
not saying is that under four years of Kamala's leadership,
it's probably gonna get much worse.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Till the government.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I started listening to the Jews Proceeds of Happiness radio
with Cana Websterngitia aka producer Kenny.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
This is hard to listen to what I'm about to
tell you. I mean, hopefully the radio show is not
hard to listen to, but I had a hard time
digesting the news I'm about to share with you because,
as you may or may not be aware, I lift.
I enjoy lifting weights. I'm one of those guys I
obnoxiously talk about it all the time because I don't
have a personality. Okay, that's not entirely true, but I
do like talking about it because I think it's funny,
(07:56):
and I think that when we talk about it a lot,
we're kind of making fun of those people that talk
about it. You know, the CrossFit guy, you know the
vegan guy. Look, you know, I like poking fun at
those people because, much like when you meet an airline pilot,
somebody who lifts just loves to tell you that they lift.
But what they never tell you is stories like this.
(08:16):
A woman's arm muscles broke down and released chemicals, toxic
chemicals into her body that almost killed her because.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
She did too many pull ups.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I would just like to point out that I have
never encountered this problem while eating a chili dog.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's never happened to me, So you know, carry on,
be safe.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I don't want to endanger your lives out there, but
just know, if you go eat a chili dog today,
it might actually be safer than doing a bunch of
pull ups. The evidence speaks for itself. Speaking of evidence,
they just arrested the sun of the second Trump assassin,
a second attempted Trump assassin, and obviously Trump's still alive.
(09:01):
The son of that man whose name I will not
say on the radio because I'm not trying to make
him more famous. Has just been charged with a pretty
serious crime. No, wasn't trying to kill somebody. He was
in possession of child pornography. I gotta think, right after murder,
probably the second worst thing you could do is sexually
exploiting a child. That's right up there in the top
(09:23):
five for sure. The young man is facing I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Know how old he is. He's an adult. Apparently he's
not a young man. Or in Roth, that's his name.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
He's facing federal charges for the possession of child pornography
after investigators searched his home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The
search was in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation,
and the unrelated investigation is indeed in reference to his father, who,
as you know, was arrested on the fourteenth of this
month in connection to the second attempted assassination of Donald
(09:55):
Trump in Florida. According to the report, investigation seized multiple
electronic devices and found hundreds of files depicting child sexual abuse.
He now faces two charges of possessing and receiving child
sexual abuse material, and the arrest follows the Biden Harris
(10:16):
Justice Department releasing a letter allegedly penned by the father
of this guy, the actual attempted assassin, who is offering
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to whomever can complete
the job and murder Trump.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Isn't that crazy? Why would they put that out there?
Why would they?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
They won't even release the manifesto from the transgender Nashville
school shooter. Why would they release this? Florida has opened
its own investigation into what took place, good because frankly,
I don't trust the DOJ, not after what they just did.
(10:51):
You know, it's interesting about this young man getting arrested
for child pornography. The nut does not fall far from
the nutsack, doesn't It probably not too shocking that both
the son and the father seem to hate Trump. The
dad tried to assassinate Trump, and the son as a
child pervert purportedly Democrats just being Democrats guys. Speaking of Democrats,
(11:19):
Derek Hunter at townhall dot Com recently asked a question
I think we should pay attention to.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What can you do.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
When the enemy of your country is in your country?
What can you do when the enemy of your country
is in your country? Look, it's too late to keep
them out. So what do you do? Can you defeat them,
can you crush them, can you deport them? Or do
you just simply get the hell out of your own
house as quickly as possible in such a way that
(11:46):
there is no ambiguity about them never being welcome to return.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Do you get them out? Do you get out? What
do you do?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Frankly, that's what needs to be done with Democrats this November.
And I mean figuratively, not literally.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We need to.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
It would have been easy to think as I made
that statement and asked that question, I was talking about
the border. I mean, Democrats love the invasion of the
third world into our country. They encourage it, they pay
for it. They import those who can't afford to walk
in from Mexico, they fly him up here. For that alone,
(12:22):
they should be impeached. They should be tried for using
government funds for their personal and professional gain. But that's
really not the worst of it, is it now? No,
it's not not by a loan shot. One week after
that radical Democrat absolutely dedicated to dumping endless amounts of
(12:43):
money into Ukraine, plotted to murder Donald Trump, the Biden
Harris administration flew Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the swing
state of Pennsylvania to visit a weapons factory so he
could thank the workers there.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Why did we do that?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
There could be no clearer use of federal government resources
for a presidential campaign than if Kamala Harris started renting
out the Lincoln bedroom like the Clintons did. Now, in
this case, I think both sides are prostitutes. This is
all highly unethical. It should be illegal to fly in
the leader of a foreign country to go to campaign stops.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But this doesn't matter to Democrats.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It certainly doesn't matter to their communications department, appendage the
national liberal media, because they all live by one simple role.
Does it help them politically, That's the only question they're
trying to ask. They don't care if it impacts the
country in a negative way. It doesn't matter. If it
benefits them, it's okay. They will release violent, dangerous criminals
(13:51):
into the streets of your city. Seconds after they're arrested
for violent crimes. Those same criminals go back out on
the street and assault people, and then the local Democrat
officials will say, see, the gun laws aren't strict enough. No, no,
the laws are strict enough. You're just not enforcing them.
(14:13):
Remember how during the Trump administration, every single day, people
like Mika Brazinski and Joe Scarborough and that gang of
ladies on MSNBC would gasp and clutch their implants while
what passes for men would pretend to be angry of
the norms of old being swept aside by some mean tweet.
(14:34):
Joe and Kamala. In fact, we're going to restore the
norms the Trump had destroyed with his refusing to conform
to their wishes. Remember that, Remember restoring the norms? And
then what did they do? They brought transgender activists to
the front lawn of the White House where they walked
around and showed their bare breasts in front of children.
That was restoring the norms. So when I hear that
(14:59):
they flew the Linski in to visit a weapons factory
in Pennsylvania and bank the workers, and that he was
actually flown in using federal funds, the first thing I
think about is Kamala Harris's political campaign, because it's not
a coincidence they flew him into a swing state. They
flew a US puppet to a swing state to campaign
(15:19):
and complain about the Republican ticket. What does the liberal
media have to say? Nothing silence. Democrats impeached Trump for
suggesting to Zelenski that if the Biden family were engaging
in corrupt practices in Ukraine, we'd like to know about
it in this country, but using him as a campaign
tool that is aoka with the left. Zelensky, likely reading
(15:45):
talking points provided to him by the Harris campaign, complained
to The New Yorker magazine about Trump and JD.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Vance, saying, quote.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
My feeling is that Trump doesn't really know how to
stop the war, even if he might think he knows how.
With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it,
the less you understand.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Somehow, the people who empowered Putin, who endorsed Kamala Harris
to invade in the first place, of a magical understanding
of how to end the war. They just haven't managed
to come remotely close to doing it yet. But I'm
sure they know how. Zelensky canceled his own country's elections
in an attempt to preserve democracy. Explain that one kids,
(16:30):
Zelensky has been pretty worthless as a leader of his
own country. He's had more than his country's GDP dumped
into his lap in the form of cash and weapons.
Yet he can't repel a feeble Russian military so bloated
and corrupt it could barely function in and of itself.
Not for their nuclear weapons, Russia could easily be ignored
by the world were it not for Biden and Harris
(16:53):
empowering Putin through European energy cash money we could have
earned by providing energy to them ourselves, all the while
Harris and Biden crippling the US production of energy. Vlad
wouldn't have the money necessary to keep his hold on power,
So yeah, the Democrats did help him out. The Democratic
(17:15):
campaign of the sitting vice president uses taxpayer dollars to
fly a foreign leader who leads the most financially corrupt
country on the planet, one that has paid the son
of the sitting president millions, and god knows how many
other family members of the Democrats to the United States
to complain about the Republican nominee in the all important
swing state of Pennsylvania, and the Democrat media reports it
(17:37):
as if it's completely normal. It might not quite technically
be treason, but it's certainly in the neighborhood. It lives
right down the street and it's miles away from where
all these people claim to be when they were so
upset over mean tweets and the norms of old These
people are prostitutes. The prostitutes Hunter Biden paid to humiliate
(18:00):
and abuse, many of whom were likely trafficked underage. Ukrainians
and other Eastern Europeans had about as much dignity individually
as the Democrat Party and the media have collectively, which
makes sense if you think about it, considering they're basically
all in the same business. It's never too early to
learn that the government is a greedy piglet that suckles
(18:22):
on a taxpayer's teat until they have sore, chapped nipples.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
The Pursuit of happiness Radio on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Music has changed a lot since the nineteen sixties, hasn't it,
Especially rap music. Hi, Kenny Wester're back from break here.
I was just taking a good long look at our
judicial system in this country, criminal justice. How do we
handle dangerous violent criminals. I have a position on the
death penalty that seems to upset conservatives as much as
it upsets liberals and libertarians. I'll just go out and
(18:57):
throw it at you if you don't like it, that's fine.
You can disagree with me. I support the death penalty.
I support the death penalty, but I'm a death penalty realist.
Some people will tell you we need to support the
death penalty because it lowers the number of murders. No,
it doesn't. There's no proof of that. There is no
proof that in countries or states where the death penalty
exists that the homicide rate goes down. That's just not true.
(19:21):
Other people will say, wow, I support the death penalty
because it saves the taxpayers money.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No it doesn't. No, no, No.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
All those appeals that are filed while somebody's on death
row actually costs the taxpayers a lot more money than
it would cost to just put somebody in a prison
cell for the rest of their life.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That is relatively cheap compared.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
To all the millions and millions of dollars you have
to pay all those lawyers and judges and hearings and
court case sate. It cost a lot of money to
do all that. Executing someone's very expensive. So it doesn't
lower crime, and it certainly doesn't save the taxpayers any money.
Then what's the point of doing it. I can only
(20:00):
we find one good reason to keep the death penalty.
It makes the loved ones, the family members and friends
of the victim happier knowing that the person who killed
their loved one is no longer on this earth. Now,
that's a touchy angle to approach the situation from, because
(20:20):
what if all the evidence in the court case is wrong?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Oh, I know, it's true. Those things happen.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Sometimes somebody gets arrested, they get wrongfully accused of murder,
and then after they're executed, we suddenly figure out later on,
oh no, this person wasn't actually guilty. The good news
is here in the twenty first century, what with DNA
evidence and video and fingerprint analysis, it's a lot less
common nowadays than it used to be, at least we
(20:50):
think so. Even still, once in a while and innocent
person ends up on death row. I was just reading
about this Marcellus Williams at the Washington Examiner. Even for
those of you who in theory support the death penalty
for hainous crimes, this case is something of a travesty.
(21:12):
Williams is almost certainly innocent, and the Supreme Court should
probably block the execution. I didn't know anything about this
case until I started reading about it. In this report
is a piece that was published about it, and after
following the internal links to the original court documents, kind
of noticed there's a lot of mind boggling evidence not
(21:34):
just casting doubt on the guilt of this person, Marcellus Williams,
but almost completely proving his innocence. What we're seeing here
is the distinct possibility that an innocent man is about
to be murdered. All right, so you're probably wondering, Kenya,
what the heck happened? Tell me the story. It goes
like this in a January court filing Saint Louis County.
(21:56):
You've heard of it before. The Saint Louis County prosecuting
attorney Wesley Belt a liberal, but not like a radical democrat.
A liberal but not a liberal Democrat, not like so
far to the left, Betty.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You know, it's like some kind of communist or something.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Laid out the evidence for William's actual innocence in a
nineteen ninety eight murder of one Felicia Gale. Felicia Gail
was a reporter who was stabbed forty three times in
an apparent home robbery. The evidence is compelling, bordering on overwhelming.
Listen to this from the report. The crime scene was
rife with physical evidence. The weapon, a kitchen knife, was
(22:36):
left lodged in miss Gale's neck. Bloody shoeprints were present
near a knife sheath in the kitchen, in the hallway
leading to the front foyer, and on the rug near
Miss Gale's body. Bloody fingerprints were found along the wall.
Hares believed to belong to the perpetrator were collected from
Miss Gale's T shirt, her hands, and the floor. Think
(22:57):
about this, shoeprince fingerprints, a bloody knife, hair has DNA
all at the scene. None of that evidence, I repeat,
none matched the suspect here, the guy that's on trial,
mister Williams. Scientific testing completely rolled out Williams as a
possible match for all that stuff. Williams was explicitly excluded
(23:21):
as a source for all of that evidence. In fact,
three separate DNA experts excluded Williams as the source of
the male DNA on the handle of the murder weapon.
If there is DNA on the bloody handle of a
weapon that remains embedded in the victim's body, and the
DNA is absolutely not that of the man convicted of
(23:41):
the murder, then it is almost physically impossible for the
convict actually to have committed the crime. When this is
combined with testing of hairs believed to belong to the
perpetrator that were collected from miss Gale's T shirt and
her hands in the floor, and none of those hairs
come close to matching the convicts, then nobody in his
(24:03):
right mind would believe this guy was actually guilty. The
main testimony tying Williams to the murder came from an
utterly unreliable source, a multiple recidivist criminal offender for more
than thirty years all across the country, one whose story
(24:26):
about Williams changed with almost every retelling. Despite the inconsistencies
of the story of the witness Cole's story and other inmate,
or his lengthy criminal history, his use of drugs, his
mental illness, police apparently looked only for evidence to support
what he told them. The other testimony came from William's
(24:50):
girlfriend at the time, who was a drug using prostitute.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Police told her she.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Was guilty of withholding evidence if she did not cooperate
with their attempt to nail Williams for the crime, and
the grow friends story, by the way, did not match
that of the criminal who said Williams had confessed the
murder to him. Cole is the guy's name in the
report here. Now again there's a court motion. You could
read the whole thing online yourself. It is utterly convincing
(25:19):
that Williams did not commit the crime. So this isn't
a matter of stopping an execution because of a mere
procedural row error. Marcellus Williams is innocent in my humble
opinion and the opinion of a lot of other people.
Hopefully today, at some point, the nation's highest court, the
Supreme Court, will not let the state kill an innocent man.
(25:42):
Scary stuff, but that is exactly what is taking place
today in our nation's judicial system. Remarkable, isn't it things
like this still happen after all these years. The world's
changed a lot since back in the twentieth century or
the nineteenth century. The way we handle court cases, our
(26:06):
understandings of medicine and health and nutrition, even things like parenting.
Parenting advice is wild because there's so much of it
coming from so many different directions. I would imagine a
young parent out there would be pretty overwhelmed with all
the different information you could be inundated with when you
(26:27):
go looking for advice on how to raise a child.
There's this parenting book from nineteen twenty six called how
to Raise the Baby, which has advice on it that's
so terrible. It recently went viral and people are in
absolute shock of some of the things that told people.
(26:49):
For example, in the book, it says some others, in
an attempt to soothe the child, allow thumb sucking of
the or the use of pacifiers. This is most objectionable.
Constant thumb sucking often causes deformity of jaw and mouth
and crooked teeth. Turns out that's not true. Pacifiers are
recommended to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
(27:13):
The book also says it's now considered advisable to give
cod liver oil to infants before the end of the
first month. Turns out cod liver oil is not recommended
for infants under one year of age. It's not good
for their health. Here's another one rules for the mother
preceding birth. She should not attend plays, read books, or
(27:33):
frequent company, which may destroy the peace of her mind
or get her in an over excited condition.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Huh, it's ridiculous. Right, you're allowed to do all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Okay, maybe you shouldn't go scuba diving or ice skating,
but I would think watching a play would be fine.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Right.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
They also said the best bed for a baby is
one made out of iron or brass. Apparently that's not
good strangulation suffocation the kid can get stuck in the bars.
The point is there's a lot of bad advice here.
I actually found this old school film from one hundred
years ago. Back in the early twentieth century old film
(28:13):
strip they used to show people about how to raise babies,
and the advice isn't much better.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Tu, folks, are you struggling with how to raise your
bundle of joy? Boy, we grab a pencil and listen.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Up.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
From the groundbreaking book of nineteen twenty six, we've got
modern baby advice you don't want to miss. First, be
sure to dip your baby in cold water each morning.
It's invigorating, vigorating. Second, don't spoil them with too much affection.
A firm handshake will suffice. And remember, if a baby cries,
(28:47):
simply feed them on a strict schedule, even if they're
screaming for more. What's the Bee's Knees of baby rearing advice?
So get with the times. You're listening to the Pursuit
of Happiness radio.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I guess it's not available in Canada.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Employees that is zoo in China. Chinese zoo workers got
caught painting dogs to make them look like pandas. And
if you think that's bad, we won't even talk about
their ana condas you don't want to hear.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But much worse, really really offensive stuff. Folks.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Hi, welcome back from break. I'm Kenny Webster. I was
just looking at polling data here from NBC News. We
talked about this on the morning show, So forgive me
if you're hearing me repeat myself, but I think this
is worth repeating. NBC News went out and they talked
to voters national polling data. This isn't just the swing states.
That's notable for a reason, and they ask people what
are the four most important issues and they have different categories.
(29:45):
Turns out abortion not the most important issue, not in
the top four. Transgender stuff LGBTQ also not in the
top four.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thank god.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Things that they like to talk about aren't actually the
things that are the most important, So what is the
most important? While crime, crime was in the top four,
the economy was in the top four, and then the
other two things in the top four kind of sounded
like crime in the economy, but they were different. Immigration. Okay,
immigration sounds like crime, Well, it's in its own category.
And then inflation in the cost of living again, doesn't
(30:19):
that sound like it should be the economy, Yeah, it should,
but they added its own separate category.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
So of those four things, how did Trump do against Kamala?
According to NBC News, Trump beats Kamala on all of them,
sometimes by more than double digits, way ahead of her,
ahead of her by like twenty points on immigration, the economy, crime,
cost of living, inflation. Most voters, the vast majority of
(30:45):
voters think Trump can handle those things better than Kamala can.
And then in the same poll, NBC News poll says
Kamala leads Trump by four points. What does that mean?
It means it means the national polls. We'll start with that.
It doesn't matter what the national polls say. The national
(31:06):
poles are irrelevant. Trump's probably going to get all the
red states. Kamala is probably going to get all the
blue states. It only matters who wins the swing states Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, Arizona,
the Carolinas. It's the only places that matter. Anybody telling
you otherwise is lying to you. I want you to
(31:31):
imagine you live in a home and the home is
on fire. What would you do if the home was
on fire? Would you get your loved ones out of
the home, find your children and your dog, and get
everybody out of the house. That would be an important
thing to do. I would assume you'd probably be willing
to risk your life and your own safety to help
your children, and probably help your dog or your cat too, hopefully.
(31:56):
What else would you do? Would you get a hose
put the fire out? Obviously called the fire apartment? Solving
the problem of a burning building. Seems like the solution
is very obvious, doesn't it escape from the house, try
to put the fire up. This is the problem with
(32:18):
government spending. Everybody could see clear as day, much like
a house that's on fire. What's wrong The government's spending
too much money. Kamala's solution to every problem is to
spend money like it's water. When she does give a
policy position, It almost always involves spending money, and it
never involves working with the resources we already have. We're
(32:43):
spending money we don't have, and it's making the problems
worse because that's the cause of inflation. So government spending
is out of control. Christopher Tremagley recently published a report
and started off with those very words. Everybody knows that
that's not shocking news. It's not particularly new surprising. Reckless
fiscal policy has led to record high inflation. It's added
(33:04):
trillions of dollars to the country's national debt. Everybody knows
that a very precarious situation. Unfortunately, it's all but ignored
by most politicians. Most American politicians, whether they're governing a
state or a city or coming up with laws, they're
promoting policy and engaging and spending as if the government
(33:26):
could print money on demand without consequence.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
We can't.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I mean, yeah, we could print money on demand, but
there are huge consequences. It's fiscal irresponsibility, and it's become
one of the greatest long term threats to national security.
I don't think anybody speaks as articulately on this issue
as Rand Paul does. The Junior Senator at Kentucky last
week announced a proposal that he could balance the budget
(33:53):
within five years five years. He calls it the sixpenny plan.
I would say, looking at the plan here, it is
a viable solution to the national debt. It could help
us solve the looming financial crisis. It's a very logical
solution that politicians on both sides of the aisle should embrace,
(34:14):
which means they won't. Seven years ago, we could balance
our budget with a freeze in spending without cutting anything.
Since then, the national debt is skyrocketed to thirty five
trillion dollars six point six trillion of that money just
in the past few years. Americans all across the country
(34:36):
are struggling to make ends meet, and it is not
a coincidence that the inflation crisis happened right as spending
got out of control. This is the greatest threat to
our national security. It's not Muslims, it's not QAnon terrorists,
it's not even what's happening at the border. The greatest
threat to our national security is our debt. We are
(35:00):
now in a situation that a simple penny, two, three,
or even five pennies per dollar reduction is insufficient to
balance our budget. It actually requires six. We cannot keep
ignoring this problem at the expensive taxpayers. That's why it's
called the six penny plan. The national debt and the
problem that the national debt causes have been largely forgotten
(35:26):
about by the public. Imagine if your house was on fire,
but it had been on fire so many times in
the past, you just didn't care. Nobody paid attention whatever
old news. Despite the seemingly contemporary political irrelevance, fiscal responsibility
(35:47):
is vital to the country. Ram Paul's got a lot
of great points here. He elaborated on some of the
horrifying problems related to the national debt. The release specified
that in less than half a year, between February and June,
the Congressional Budget Office reported the government will add another
(36:07):
four hundred and fifty billion dollars to the national debt.
And imagine we did that during a lame duck session
of Congress, the brief little time period when very few
new laws are being passed, and somehow we still manage
to come up with one hundred, five hundred half a
trillion dollars in debt. Suffice to say that our national
debt is a serious problem. So that is why it
(36:31):
is called the sixpenny Plan. We can rein in the
government by cutting sixpennies off every dollar projected to be
spent in the next five fiscal years. The plan would
reduce spending by three hundred and twenty nine billion dollars
in the first year. It won't be a popular idea
among liberals, but it might save the country.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I hope it works. I hope people listen to them. Nationally.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
A lot of problems we have in this country seemed
to just be problems we had before that we ignored.
So I'm going to climb out on a limb here
and guess we probably won't do anything about it. But
before I leave you, I do like leaving you with
a little bit of good news. A fifth grade teacher
in Pauw Pauw, Michigan, is in the news after posting
a video about why he eats lunch with his students
(37:22):
every day. He says he thinks it's important to connect
with the kids in a real way, and this is
how he does it.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Here's Dan Shoots talking about his strategy.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
So I lunch in the cafeteria almost every single day
and here's why.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
So I teach with grade. In the eight years of
doing this.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
This is the most effective thing that I have to
get to know my students on a personal level. And
what happened when I walked into the cafeteria today and
I sat down next to a couple of my new kids.
Instantly two or three more down the table were like, Hey,
can you eat.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Lunch with me tomorrow?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
Because we can all agree that in this job and
education and teaching, the single most important thing we can
do is build a relationship with every single kid that
walks in the door. We can't do our job without it.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
How about that.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Imagine that teachers who actually care you don't hear them
out that much anymore unless they're unls, they're doing something creepy. God,
I hope that guy isn't doing something creepy. Let's assume
he's not. Let's assume he isn't. Hey, I'm Kenny Webster.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I love you all.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Thank you so much for listening. I pray for you,
God bless you all. I'll be back bright and early
tomorrow morning with the whole gang and more of what
you bought a radio for right here on KP HEREC
nine p.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Fifty.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
You are listening to the pursuit of having this radio.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
