Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack gana government sucks suit of happiness. Radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile of a suit
of happing and us on your radio toil just as
cheeseburgers a living rise at the food.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Donald Trump attended the Alabama Crimson Tide Georgia Bulldog's game
this weekend. You're probably wondering what's he doing there? Well,
did you see any Haitians eating any bulldogs? Thank you
very much, Donald Trump. Thanks for turning on your radio everybody.
I'm Kenny Webster. A pleasure to be here with you.
Always good to have you tuning in. We have got

(00:41):
a lot happening this afternoon. We're gonna go to Hollywood.
We're we're gonna drive around Houston, Texas a little bit.
We're gonna take a look at the world of kidney
transplants and why the government is mucking it up. All
that and lots more. But let's start off with this.
You may have heard that over the weekend hurricane did
quite a bit of damage to the Carolinas. You're probably wondering,

(01:02):
where's Kamala. Politico dot Com reports that Donald Trump is
trying to politicize the hurricane how's he doing that? Well,
he went to the he went to the hurricane. He's
going to He's going to go hand out aid to
the people at the hurricane. What how's that politicizing things?
Ukraine and the illegal immigrants they get two hundred and

(01:24):
thirty one billion dollars, but the hurricane victims they'll just
have to wait, won't they. It's been quite a bit
of that sort of thing happening over the last week
or two or the last four years. If we're being honest,
we have a crisis at the border. And Kamala went
down there over the weekend to pretend like she cares.

(01:44):
So she went to the the human trafficking capital of
North America, Douglas, Arizona. What the hell is happening there? Nothing.
There's been a border barrier there since the George W.
Bush administration, Yeah, like twenty years agoge W. Bush put
a wall up there, and so in that particular part
of the country, not a lot of humans are being trafficked,

(02:06):
not a lot of drugs coming over the border. Kurt
Schlichterter recently wrote at town hall dot com the following words.
He said, we keep hearing a lot about how America
First Conservatives, the faction of the Republican Party that took
power in the wake of the utter failure of the establishment,
keep nominating terrible candidates. You've heard this over and over again.

(02:29):
They'll tell, Oh, Donald Trump's a horrible candidate. Okay, where's
all the winning Republicans of Trump's not the guy? Why
we Republicans are wasting gettable seats by choosing people who
actually agree with our principles and our policies instead of
picking people that just look good in front of a camera.
Not surprisingly, this is the kind of nonsense cope we've

(02:52):
been hearing from these establishment losers ever since we rejected
them for their unbroken track record of failure. It's the
lame rationalization of people who want the power back that
we stripped from them because of their gross and competence,
not to mention the corruption and condescending narrative that they're

(03:13):
constantly shoving down our throats. Don't buy it.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
A good example of this would be Carrie Lake. She's
very smart, she's articulate, and if you listen to her
on the Megan Kelly Show this week, you said she
was just on it the other day, you'll see what
she's supporting and what we want and how she's expressing it.
Very smooth, very rational, very persuasive. She's not the crazy
woman the media and her jealous GOP critics claim she is.

(03:43):
The image of Kerrie Lake is some sort of lunatic
is a line. Nothing could be further from the truth.
She's a very good communicator. You know, she was a
TV journalist in Arizona for years. She knows her state.
She's gotten even better at politics this go around. Yeah,
she's made mistakes, everybody has. Her critics often accuse her

(04:03):
of being a nut for insisting that Democrats stole the
twenty twenty Arizona election, but it was a few years ago.
Someone who believes we ought a default to believing in
the honesty of government actions, or the integrity of the
judicial system, or the good faith of the Donkey Party,

(04:25):
I think that person's a nut. Anyway, Kerry Lake's learned
from her experience. She's running a different campaign this time.
The reason her opponents inside and outside the GOP tell
you she's a wacko is so you don't listen to
her unfiltered, because once you do, she'll probably win you over.
We're told by all this self appointed smart people that

(04:47):
if Arizona's GOP primary voters had only nominated somebody normal,
why this seat would be in the bag for the
Republicans and Democrat Ruben Gallagho, a straight up communist, would
be ten points behind. Here's the thing, though, guys, that's nonsense.
It's utter nonsense. Because Arizona nominated Martha McSally. She was
the most normal of the normal, an establishment Republican who

(05:10):
was not carrying the America First banner. She was so
completely normal that even a Mitt Romney would have approved
of her, her white bread, blaindness. Look, I got nothing
against Martha, but she didn't get it done. She got
crushed twice. She lost to Kristen Cinema. The facts simply

(05:32):
don't support the narrative that an establishment Republican is a
guaranteed winner in purple Arizona. If it was center right
establishment ex Governor Doug Doocey would not have passed up
the opportunity of this cycle to walk into a Senate seat. Anyway.
The point is this, come on, it just got back
from Arizona, went down to a state where we've been

(05:54):
told over and over again it's purple. They don't care
about border security, but they actually do. Look Republicans sometimes
nominate bad candidates. I think Kerry Lake's a great candidate.
She's America first. You know who else is Tom Cotton,
Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Josh Holly, and you know, even

(06:17):
Jade Vance, to name a few. Does anyone think we're
worse off having them in the Senate. If the establishment
wants to nominate more establishment candidates, maybe they should try
this plan. Stop sucking so much. In the meantime, all
of us need to jump on the team to bring

(06:39):
in the big win and support candidates like Kerry Lake,
or you're going to see more of Kamala Harris going
down to Arizona and pretending that she's the reason the
border's secure there, when ironically it was actually the establishment
Republican Party that put a border up there, a barrier
on the border a little over two decades ago.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
If you can hear my voice, you're still above ground,
alive and listening to Kenny Webster on KPRC nine point
fifty plus, you don't smell like a dead person.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I always try to remind people, Hi, we're back from break.
I always try to remind people no matter how bad
things are, you can always count on the government to
make things worse. Nothing, we'll throw gas on a fire
like the government trying to solve your problems. I know
a lot of you think, Ah, Kenny, you're such a Republican.
Now you're not much of a libertarian anymore. No, I'm

(07:35):
still a liberty advocate. I am still for small government.
I'll prove it right now. Is just reading this report
from Eric Boham. He was talking about donated kidneys. I
know what you're thinking, what donated kidneys? What does that
have to do with anything? Well, as it turns out,
Oregon donations in the United States are controlled by a
network of federally sanctioned nonprofits and guess what, they're all failing.

(08:01):
Did you know twelve people die every day waiting for
a kidney transplant. Some of those deaths are preventable, And
as it turns out, monopoly government contractors are pretty much
the people that are to blame for this. There's this
person named Jennifer Erickson, a former Obama Whitehouse staffer who

(08:22):
now works as a senior fellow at the Federation of
American Scientist and Jennifer says monopolies don't work, and government
funded monopolies are even worse. And you know it's bad
when a Democrat's telling you that. I mean, it's true,
isn't it. Wow? The Democrats said that, that's amazing to me.
Way back in the nineteen eighties, when the development of

(08:44):
immunosuppressant drugs make organ transplants more common and more workable,
Congress passed the law they created about fifty regional monopolies.
Fifty regional monopolies where organ procurement organizations they're called opos,
would have the exclusive right to collect donated organs and

(09:05):
match them with recipients. As it turns out, the overseeing
of these regional monopolies is a national contractor called the
United Network for Organ Sharing. And it's a big racket.
A lot of these opos don't do their job, certainly
don't do their job very well. Back in twenty nineteen,

(09:26):
a report was published by the public health nonprofit organize
That's the Group, and they found that just six of
the regional opos managed to collect at least fifty percent
of the donatable organs, that is, organs from deceased individuals
who agreed to be donorators, people that agreed to donate,
donors within their territory, and these were actually organs that

(09:47):
could be used so they're workable. Somebody wanted to donate
and they only really got about fifty percent of them
to the recipients. How does that happen? How are we
leaving half of these life saving organs on the operating table? While,
as it turns out, is a government monopoly. Like a
lot of things, when the government creates monopoly, there's no

(10:09):
incentive for them to do their job right. More than
seventeen thousand, thousand kidneys and thousands of other organs are
going to waste each year. They could find their way
to dialysis patients, people that need replacements. That's a tremendous
opportunity cost and because there's no competition, if you're unlucky

(10:32):
enough to need an organ and you live in an
area where there's a poor performing OPO, you probably never
get one. What's increasing the number of available donated kidneys?
The things that would be available could save lives and
also save taxpayers a lot of money. It's nothing short
of bad bureaucracy. The government handles these things poorly. The

(10:55):
nonprofit groups handle them poorly, and because of it, people
are dying. University of Pennsylvania did a report on this
and they found the full utilization of the organ donor
system would mean about thirteen billion dollars in taxpayer savings
and twenty five thousand lives saved or improved. Understand, it
isn't just that these people are dying, but because they

(11:15):
aren't getting the organs that they need, you, as a
taxpayer actually showing out more money. A twenty percent improvement
over the status quo would mean six thousand lives bettered
and two point six billion dollars in savings every year.
Would it be worth it to get rid of these
government monopolies? The problem is there's no competition, So the

(11:37):
underperforming opos, the people handing out the nonprofits that are
handing out the organs, they don't have any incentive to improve.
Federal oversight is lacking back. In twenty twelve, the Alabama
Organ Center executives were convicted of scamming taxpayers by artificially
inflating their costs and pocketing kickbacks. And that's just what

(11:59):
we know about. Those are people. They got caught. You
think it doesn't happen more often than that. Of course
it does. The organization changed its name to Legacy of Hope,
classic rebranding. Just call yourself something else, no one will notice.
You still suck. Unfortunately, they never lost the exclusive contract,
and the problems don't stop there. The same law that

(12:20):
created the regional monopolies also made organ donation expenses fully
cost reimbursed by insurance companies and the federal government. So
the opos of no incentive to control costs even when
those costs have little or nothing to do with their
core mission. There's another group called One Legacy. They have
a monopoly in southern California. They got dinged by an

(12:42):
inspector General report after they spent three hundred and twenty
seven thousand dollars on Rose Bowl tickets. Oh good, I
hope they had good seats. Those costs were built to taxpayers.
They did it with Medicare. Thanks government. Back in twenty
twenty anyone, there was a Senate hearing and the president
and CEO of the Nevada Donor Network actually admitted the

(13:05):
group has season tickets for the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders
and the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights. Why why do they
need season tickets. They even spent money on multiple board
retreats to California Wine Country. What does that have to
do with organ transplants? You had to sell somebody on
an organ. Hey, look, we'd really like to save your life.

(13:28):
Do you want to go to an NHL game with US?

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Nah?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
What?

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Hey, you're dying? Do you want an organ? Gosh? I
had never really thought about it before. What if we
threw in some Vegas Raiders tickets? You got a deal. Fortunately,
there is some hope that things could improve. There are
new federal rules proposed during the Trump administration that would
mean that, for the first time in forty years, poor

(13:55):
performing opos could lose their lucrative contracts. The federal government
has to replace failing organ procurement organizations with high performers
that are serving American people, and they have to do
it now. We should never be in a situation where
there's this kind of unaccountable monopoly. There needs to be open, fair,

(14:18):
competitive contracting, and if someone new comes in and they
fail the American people, they should be kicked out. Doesn't
that seem obvious? Why is this so hard for people
to understand? We have new developments in medical technology that
could also improve the supply problem for Americans who need
a kidney. You know, back in March, the world's first

(14:38):
gene edited pig kidney was successfully transplanted into a human.
The only problem is after they transplanted the kidney, that
person decided they wanted to eat out of a troth.
All the time scientists never seen anything like it before.
In all seriousness, we'll still need human donors for the
foreseeable future. As it turns out, Americans really are generous people.

(15:02):
You look at what's going on right now in the
Carolinas with the hurricane. Where's FEMA, Where's Kamala, Where's the
federal government to help people out? Nowhere to be seen
doing a piss poor job. But the good news is
with that hurricane, much like with kidney donations, average people
are very generous. They are very kind. The overwhelming majority

(15:23):
of US support organ donation and are willing to be
donors when we die. Government contractors should not be the
bottleneck preventing that generosity from being realized. And if somebody
needs a organ transplant, they shouldn't have to beg somebody
with taxpayer funded NFL raiders tickets to give them the organ.

(16:01):
Let's talk about manhood for a minute. Masculinity, manhood is
I mean, it seems like it's well defined at this point.
Humanity has existed for thousands, millions of years that we
know of. Men haven't really changed much. You get the
general gist of things, Protect your family, hunt and gather,

(16:23):
help build some kind of a structure for your offspring
to live in. Keep everybody safe. And then in the
twenty first century, people in the western half of the world,
particularly liberals those on the quote unquote left, started to
attack manhood is being bad. Well, what's wrong with being
a man? We built the modern world. Don't we deserve

(16:45):
some accolades for that? No, we deserve to be shamed. Apparently.
There is a woman named Jen Psasse. You may remember her.
She used to be a long time ago, the White
House Press secretary early on in the Biden administration. But
then she got offered millions of dollars to leave and
go work at MSNBC. And can you blame her? I

(17:08):
would have done the same thing. Over the weekend, Jen
Psase interviewed Doug em Hoff. That's the second gentleman. She's
now being mocked on social media for praising second Gentleman
Doug M. Hoff as someone who quote reshaped the perception
of masculinity. I was just reading a report about it
on the New York Post. I don't watch MSNBC, but
I do read the post. Now, there's this recent revelation

(17:31):
that he impregnated his child's nanny during his first marriage,
left his wife, and then ended up with Kamala. Jen Psase,
the former White House Press Secretary, interviewed Doug, the husband
of Kamala, during the most recent installment of her show
Inside Jen Psase. Excuse me Inside with Jen Psase. That's

(17:51):
a little different. Don't laugh at that. About halfway through
the fifteen minutes sit down with the potential first ever
first gentleman, brought up how quote your role has reshaped masculinity.
That's what she said.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Important part of an interesting part of how people have
talked about your role here is how your role has
reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you've
planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse.
Has that been an evolution for you? And do you
think that's part of the role you might play as
first gentleman?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
It's funny I've started to think a lot about this.
I've always been like this. My dad was like this,
and to me, like what, like what he is walking estrogen?
I guarantee he drinks soy every morning when he gets up.
Is she being serious? Here's the problem with that. Maybe
she's right. Doug and Kamala are perfect for each other.

(18:47):
You know, they're both homewreckers. Paying for the baby he
made with his mistress to be aborted. Is actually true
twenty first century masculinity, isn't it. You knocked up your
children's nanny you were still married to their mom. Is
that masculine or is it just a crappy thing to do?
It's a pretty good question, I think. But maybe Gen

(19:09):
Psas's right. Maybe people do look at Doug m Off
as the new kind of masculinity. I'll bet somebody believes
that's true. I'll bet they started believing it because Jen
Psase said it on MSNBC. I was reading this interesting
story earlier about what young men do in the Netherlands. No, no,

(19:31):
this isn't like a perverted thing or anything. You know
how in the twenty first century we don't really have
a coming of age ritual for men anymore. It used
to be you'd go off to war, get drafted to
the military, get married, have a couple kids, you're a
man now. But here in the United States in the
twenty first century, we don't really celebrate nuclear families anymore.
Plenty of single moms out there. What exactly is the

(19:56):
coming of age ritual for young men today? Leonari Scanazi
wrote this report about how they have this ritual in
the Netherlands and it's kind of it's kind of crazy, actually,
but when you listen to it, I mean, it sounds
nuts at first, but it's actually kind of cool. They
blindfold kids, drive them off in a car, and dump

(20:18):
them off in the woods at night. Now, to be fair,
in America, that would be illegal, but in the Netherlands
it's called a dropping, and it's actually a beloved childhood tradition,
kind of like going on a walk about. I think,
don't the Amish do something like this too? Anyway, As
for the Netherlands, it is a rite of passage. Droppings

(20:42):
were always part of the Scouting organizations rituals. They have
still a boy Scouts in that country. Apparently. Yeah, they
don't even like girls join. They do it around the
age of eleven. A group of kids, five or six kids,
all blindfolded, dropped well past sundown at some distance from
us out camp. They have a crude map, find their

(21:04):
way to a road, navigate their way back. It's very exciting.
It's dark out. They get one flashlight. They walk for
a while. It's scary, but generally they're fine. As far
as I could tell from what I've learned about it,
there have never been any negative consequences. Now, I'm not
suggesting that you should take your kids out to the
middle of nowhere and drop them off, But what exactly

(21:27):
does it take for a young man in America to
become a man nowadays? You know, in the Netherlands and
some camps then and now, staffers would accompany the kids
but hang behind, so the campers have to figure out
the route on their own. They don't help the kids
go in the right direction at all, but if something
happens to them, they're there to protect them. Make the
kids walk in a circle for five hours, then they

(21:48):
realized they were two hundred meters from the place they
had to be. They didn't know it, then they figured
it out. It sounds like no matter what the theme
of the camp is music, science, horseback riding. They'd often
have a generally part of the experience. In the Netherlands,
send your kids to summer camp. At some point they're
going to get dropped off in the middle of the woods. Apparently,

(22:08):
public schools in the Netherlands also do droppings when they
take students on camping trips. Nowadays some programs allow one
or all the kids to have a phone. But no
matter how it's done, the dropping is the highlight of
the trip. It takes place halfway through the session. Campers
make friends. Maybe they want to go home before the dropping,

(22:30):
but afterwards they're all bonded together. It's a life changing
experience anyway. A lot of people that have had these,
that have done it, we'll tell you years later it
was one of the greatest experiences of their life. So
what is it about this strange experience that has the

(22:51):
power to change a child so quickly? It sounds remarkably
like the exposure therapy used to treat anxiety. Are you
familiar with the term? Exposure therapy is when a person
who is afraid of something, cats, snakes, heights, whatever, is
exposed to a cat or heights or snakes, all the
way down the hall. At the next session, they'll be

(23:13):
put in a room with a cat. Then they have
to pet the cat. Then they have to let the
cats sit in their lap. With each exposure, the false
belief that cats are a threat kind of creeps away,
doesn't it. So does the belief that interacting with a
cat or a snake or being in a high up
place is too much to bear. Replacing that dread with

(23:37):
confidence is the end goal. There's a study that was
recently published at Nature dot com about adults terrified of
two things, heights and spiders, found that when they were
treated for one fear, their fear of the other went
away too. In psychological speak, their newfound confidence was generalized.

(23:58):
Since most kids are afraid of the dark, an't afraid
of the woods, afraid of getting lost. A dropping out
in the woods sounds like a therapists dream. It accelerates
exposure therapy in one wild night of just walking through
the wilderness. Dropping maybe one of the reasons kids in
Holland are some of the happiest kids on earth. You're
scared at first, but not afterwards. In fact, young people

(24:22):
that do this often go back and do it again.
It's existentially reassuring to know that the people who love
you the most, your parents, are actually very certain and
confident you can handle this experience. There's a scientist that
wrote about this, Crystal heartcomp Baker educator in Holland, when

(24:45):
asked about the droppings, her three kids had to go on,
so it was something they themselves went through as children.
Parents don't seem to think twice about the droppings, and
in a way, the droppings are kind of an exposure
therapy for adults too, exposure to letting go your kids. Uh.
Dutch kids also grow up with more real world independence
than American kids, so the dropping isn't their first time out.

(25:09):
And kids in Holland bike to school starting at age
five or six. I did that as a child. Apparently
nobody does that anymore. I wonder if it's time to
bring droppings to America. The tradition that is parents here
could certainly use a little help letting go. There was
a study done at the University of Michigan the Children's
Hospital last year. They found that the majority of American

(25:30):
parents of children ages nine to eleven won't let them
do much unsupervised, including play at the park. With a
friend or a trick or treat. What happened back in
the eighties. I used to do that. Maybe the Scouts
in America could introduce the droppings, as say, a merit
badge activity droppings are unlikely to make the leap from

(25:51):
Holland to the States anytime soon. America has decided, by
and large because of the way the legal system works,
to essentially not do any meaningful train offs. Just go
for the lowest risk possible. And when you go for
the lowest risk possible, you also get the lowest rewards possible.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
The difference between a politician and a snail. A snail
leaves its sline behind. You're listening to Kenny Webster.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Billy, Joel Sting and Stevie Nicks just announced to twenty
twenty five tour. Apparently Tuck tickets are going pretty fast too.
I am told that fans of Billy, Joel Sting and
Stevie Nicks are also going fast. But that's a long story.
That's a whole different thing altogether. Meanwhile, the Foo Fighters
backed out of an upcoming festival appearance. Let me guess

(26:41):
Dave Grohl met another band. Is this a spoiled pampered,
narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what because he cheated on his wife?
I know it's in poor taste. Hi, it's time to
take a trip to the West Coast, where the worst
people in America live, snort cocaine and sexually molested teenagers
on a cast. And I know it's not a lot

(27:01):
of fun to talk about, but it happened, Okay, So
let's start with this. Agatha All Along is the latest
Disney Plus special. Looks like it's already a flop right
prior to dot com Today reporting on how Disney decided
to publicize the Marvel streaming series Agatha All Along as quote,
the gayest Marvel project ever. So they said they said

(27:24):
it was the Well I believe them. If that's what
they say, they'll probably tell because why else would they
say it. No, no one asked for that. But okay,
they say it's it's got a lot of gay explosions.
And guess what happened. Nobody's watching it. Agatha All Along's
ratings crash below canceled the Acolyte on Disney Plus. Nobody

(27:44):
is turning it on. Go ahead, laugh, take a deep
breath and laugh. They deserve it, guys, this is so predictable.
The liberal media is coming along and defending it. They're
actually saying it's the fans fault for not liking it.
Variety reports quote the opening of Agatha All Along appears

(28:06):
to be roughly on par with that of Percy Jackson
and the Olympians, which debuted with very low numbers. It
actually has lower numbers than The Acolyte, the Star Wars
series that they lost two hundred and fifty billion dollars on.
If we divide the viewership measured for The Acolyte by
the number of days for which we are given five,
we discovered that The Acolyte averaged maybe a couple million

(28:27):
people watching it per day all over the world, which
seems like a lot, But remember viewership total to the
numbers of Percy Jackson and the five day numbers for

(28:48):
the already canceled The Acolyte, which was itself a massive
flop after being publicized as the gayest Star Wars show ever. Look,
I don't care if you're gay, nobody does. But can't
a superhero shit just be about superheroes instead of it
being about gay stuff? Can't a Star Wars series just
be about Star Wars instead of you know, having some

(29:10):
lesbian agenda. Again and again, audiences have rejected at a
one hundred percent rate all this woke crap, but the
very arrogant Hollywood propagandists continue to produce it. You know,
it's even worse. They deliberately alienate people by using the
gay angle to publicize the show or the movie or
whatever it is, because they know if it sucks, this

(29:31):
gives them a way to blame their flop on homophobia.
It's not our fault for having a bad show, it's
your fault for hating gays. Look, you can't rewire human nature.
It simply can't be done. An overwhelming number of people
are straight and are therefore not really interested in watching
something that's gay. We were born this way, said Lady Gaga,

(29:54):
and it's not something we will ever get used to
Note that I said, we are made on comfortable by
gay stuff on TV, not necessarily by gay people. Gay
people are fine as long as they're included organically, not
as some obvious token to appease the woke gestapo. But
that's exactly what this is. There was a horror movie

(30:16):
that came out back in twenty fifteen called the invitation.
The story said in the Hollywood Hills. So it made
sense for them to have a gay couple in the movie.
That makes sense, right. It wasn't anything sexual. They just
had a couple of characters that were gay. Who cares
if they're gay? Nobody does. It made sense. But why

(30:37):
is a Superhero movie or a Star Wars film featuring
gay people? What's the point? Hollywood should make movies and
TV for everyone, including gay people, but gay movies and
TV are not necessarily for everyone. If the whole point
of the plot line is a couple of people having
gay sex, I'm sorry, it's just not You know, if
homophobia is defined as covering one's eyes when two men kiss, Okay,

(31:00):
I don't want to look at that now. In my defense,
I don't really have an issue with hot lesbians. But
that's besides the point. I could watch that all day,
but homophobia. Look, the point is this. It's not a
winning formula, but they keep doing it over and over again.
Do you remember the Lady Ghostbusters film? You remember what
a flop that was. If I'm not mistaken, I think

(31:23):
Donald Trump actually spoke out about it at the time.
He warned everybody right before it came out that it
wasn't going to be very good.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Remaking Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
You can't do that.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
And now they're making Ghostbusters with only women.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
It's so funny to Elizabeth Trump get mad. Also a
report today from Breitbart dot com, Paul Fagg is the
director and co writer of the all female Ghostbusters that
was eight years ago, twenty sixteen. He is still blaming
Trump and Trump supporters. You actually, movie fan for the
reason why it was such a flop. It's your fault
that it wasn't very good. Come on, guys, this guy

(32:03):
had eight years to do a little introspection about just
how bad that movie was and how the marketing seemed
determined to alienate the core fans. But no, he's still
blaming us. Let's see. Paul says, quote, the political climate
of the time was really weird with Hillary running for office.
There were a lot of dudes looking for a fight.

(32:23):
When I was getting piled on, I'd go back and
see who they were, and so many of them were
Trump supporters. Okay, fine, so Trump supporters didn't like your movie,
what about everybody else? He actually went on to say
the Trump came out again. Then Trump came out against us,
he says, Then Trump came out against us, and then
I just played the sound bite what he said. That's true,

(32:46):
Trump said that, and it was actually hilarious. Here's the thing, guys.
If the only reason why that movie failed is because
Trump supporters didn't like it, then I got to ask
the obvious question, what about all the Hillary Clinton supporters
They didn't like it either. If the box office failure

(33:06):
of Lady Ghostbusters was caused by American sexism towards all
female reboots, why was Ocean's eight a big hit eighteen
months later? How did Trump fans create this failure? When
Hillary Clinton won almost sixty six million votes. You don't
even need twenty five million of those voters fewer than
half to find yourself with a box office hit. If

(33:28):
fifteen million people paid to see Lady Ghostbusters, they would
have made a lot of money. Assuming all fifteen million
of those admissions were purchased by Hillary vote voters, that'd
leave fifty one million Hillary voters who didn't even bother
to see the movie. How is that the fault of
the magabros? Fifty one million Hillary Clinton voters didn't want
to see it, lady. Ghostbusters opened pretty well, right, No?

(33:51):
Forty six million? What killed it? Well? The movie came
out the opening weekend, everyone went to see it, It sucked,
and then people didn't keep going. The movie was just bad.
It was uninspired, choppy, not a single memorable scene or character,
no big laughs. Let's not forget that people involved in
the movie chose to capitalize and lean into the online

(34:13):
anger rather than ignore it. Instead of rising above it
to say this is a movie for everyone, the filmmakers
sought to further divide the fans under the stupid belief
they could score at the box office by turning out
Hillary supporters. How dumb was that Trump supporters have the
power to kill a Hollywood project. I wish that was true.

(34:34):
All that aside, if the movie had been any good,
it wouldn't have lost tens of millions of dollars. But
what the hell do I know. I'm just a guy
who likes watching good movies and is happy to pay
for them if they're good. Before we go, I got
a cute news story. I always like good news, don't you.
Fox Weather has a weather reporter named Bob Van Dillon.
