Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile of the Suit
of Happiness us on your radio style, just as cheeseburgs
lib rise at the suit.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Vice presidential candidates JD. Vance and Tim Walls will debate tonight.
It's being billed as the most inconsequential part of the
most consequential election of our lifetimes. I think that's probably
a safe bet. Hi, you turn the radio on. You
know who's here this afternoon. First of all, I'm here.
This is a live show. We did a little rerun
(00:45):
this morning, but I'm here right now and you're hearing
my voice obviously, But I'm actually this is a new episode.
I'll prove it today. The port workers strike is beginning,
and there's chaos all over the country as large portions
of the southeast half of the country have just been
ripped apart by a hurricane ar happening on multiple continents
(01:08):
right now, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America. That's four continents.
And oh, by the way, did I mention Owen Schroyer
from Info Wars is going to be here this afternoon.
Stick around for him. The government's coming for their stuff.
He's going to tell you the whole story. Don't go anywhere.
We'll talk about that. But before we get to anything,
I gotta think this issue with the union workers at
(01:30):
the docks around the country is the most important. The
president of the dock workers from Maine to Texas says,
they're gone on strike today for the first time since
nineteen seventy seven. Isn't that interesting? This stops all shipping
from coming ashore on the entire Eastern seaboard, all the
way down to the Gulf of Mexico. Stock up on
(01:52):
what you need right now, kids. It ain't going to
be there in a week or two.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
These people today don't know what a shrike is, right,
hit the shreets from Maine to Texas. Every single port
a lockdown.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
All right?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So this is the president of the dock workers right
for the eastern half of the country. This guy's wearing
a blue collar shirt. He's a bald gentleman, gray beard,
go tea glasses, gold chain. Why is he wearing a
gold chain? An odd choice of fashion to wear while
(02:27):
speaking in front of the camera about this strike.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You know what's gonna happen. I'll tell you. First week
be all over the news every nine boom boom. Second week,
guys who sell costs can't sell costs because the cause
ain't coming in. Off the ships. They get laid off.
Third week, malls closing down. They can't get the goods
(02:52):
from China, they can't sell clothes. They can't do this.
Everything in the United States comes on a ship. They
go out of business. This construction workers get laid off
because the materials aren't coming in. The steel's not coming in,
the lumber's not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody's
hating the long Showman now because now they realize how
(03:15):
important our jobs are. Now I have the President screaming
at me. I'm putting a taff hearty on you go ahead.
Taf hearty means I have to go back to work
for ninety days after cool you off period. Do you
think when I go back for ninety days, those men
are going to go to work on that pier. It's
going to cost the money, the company's money to pay
their salaries. Well, they go one from thirty moves an
(03:38):
now and maybe the eight they're gonna be like this,
who's going to win here?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
In the long run. Wow, you're better.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Off sitting down and let's get a contract, and let's
move on with this world. And could today's world.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I'll cripple you.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I will cripple you, and you have no idea what
that means.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I will cripple you. He says.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I got to assume the sort of people that listen
to talk radio, people listening to this show, they do
know what that means. Because right leaning thinkers, conservatives, libertarians, populists, republicans, constitutionalists,
reached the point in their lives where they believe in
those ideological opinions after learning about what these things entail.
(04:21):
I imagine a lot of you probably probably hate the
union boss right now. I don't know how you feel
about the union worker. I think a lot of people
like union workers. They hate the union boss. Maybe that's
how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I don't know. I've never been a big fan of unions.
I get it. You know, you got the.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Police officers union or the firefighters union. These guys' risk
life and limb every day for very little money. But
even that, I understand that it's complicated, right because unions
are almost an antiquated idea at this point. You know,
once upon a time people would join the union because
you lived out in the middle of nowhere where there
was one job at some factory, and if you didn't
(05:02):
like it, you couldn't pick up and go anywhere. You
didn't have any money, you didn't have anywhere to go.
Today you got monster dot Com, Craigslist, LinkedIn, you can
look online for jobs on Facebook, you can work, you
could do e commerce. There's a lot of jobs today
that don't really involve being stuck somewhere.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
So why does the union still exist? And what do
these guys want?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well, they want twenty percent rais Calm down a little, guys,
nobody's getting a twenty percent raise right now. Yeah, I'd
like a twenty percent raise too. Can I have a
twenty percent raise? And they want they want to promise
that there won't be automation. You're basically AI. They don't
want technology taking their jobs in the coming years. Earlier
(05:46):
today I heard a recording of an AI produced podcast.
The podcast was about podcast hosts coming to the realization
that they were AI. Now, a lot of you probably
would think that's like the one job you don't have
to worry about losing if you're you know, AI is
not going to take your job, if you're a talk
(06:07):
show host. Right, guys, I didn't even come into work today.
This is just software. I'm just kidding. No, I mean
any job could be replaced by automation, even a talk
show host, even a newscaster, even a radio presenter. That
doesn't mean you're not going to have a job. That
doesn't mean do you think people just aren't going to work?
Technology is just going to destroy the world. Well, that's
(06:29):
what Ted Kaczinski thought. I don't necessarily know exactly how
it's going to all go down. I don't claim to
be able to see the future, but I do know
the economy's going to change soon, and there will be
new jobs as a result of it. Once upon a time,
you didn't need somebody to change a muffler. You needed
somebody to fix the wheels on a wagon. You needed
somebody to put shoes on a horse. Today, if you
(06:52):
told young people you had to put shoes on a horse,
they wouldn't understand what Nike or Adidas, They wouldn't get it.
The world just changing. There are only a couple things
you can count on. You can count on change. You
can count on death, you can count on taxes.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
You've heard that.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Old cliche expression, and you can assume that at some
point AI is going to probably affect your job for
better or worse. And here's the kicker, And this is
really what I want you to take away from this.
It will mostly be for better. You will still have
a job. You know, the Hollywood movie writers and the
(07:30):
people on the dock don't seem like they have But
the port workers, they don't seem like they have a
lot in common, do they.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Well, they were both worried about this.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Hollywood movie writers didn't want their jobs to be taken
away by AI. Anybody can write a Hallmark movie, anybody
can write a lifetime movie. It's the same cliche thing
over and over again. But that doesn't mean there isn't
still going to be jobs for writers, still gonna be
jobs for people that want to work at a port.
It's just going to change. I know it's not pleasant,
(08:01):
but it'll be better. Would you rather live in a
world with today's technology or the technology of one hundred
years ago?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And as you sit here and I'm all over the ladder, I.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Might remind you you probably spent the weekend, cooking gumbo
in a crockpot, watching college football on your flat screen TV.
The world is a better place because of technology for
the most part, and it'll continue to be that way.
My point is, don't be afraid of the robots unless
(08:33):
unless the robots eat human flesh.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Wait a second, do they screw you?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I'm going to Texas and thank our lucky stars, sorry,
our lucky lone star.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
O we did.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
This is Kinny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The poor workers are going on strike today. Where's may
Or Pete? What's he doing? Babies as he breastfed today?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Oh? More than one. That's good him. I'm glad he's
keeping busy.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Major dock workers strike threatening the US supply chain. The
potential exists for shortages and price increases. I would say
that's an understatement. That's according to Senator Phil Williams. Trust me, Phil,
it's not just the potential. It's gonna happen. CNBC just
talked to the Commerce Secretary. Oh that should be reassuring. Okay, Well,
(09:29):
Mayor Pete's nowhere around. The Transportation Secretary is a little
too busy to deal with this right now. Let's hear
what the romando is that her name. Let's hear what
she's got to say. She must be hard at work
on this. Where have you been kind of focused on
hearing on what would happen if the strike goes let's
say longer than a week.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Again, I have not been very focused on that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Wow, not focused on that. Well, it's probably gonna happen,
so maybe you could be. I don't know name anyone
more out of touch than our commerce secretary this one.
I mean, that is just remarkable that she would even
make a statement like that. It reminds me of what
was it a month ago? She was at the Democratic
National Convention back in the summer talking to what was
(10:15):
it ABC News when this happened.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Can you hear that?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Do you potentially think that this new numbers could be
a liability for this campaign?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
When I hear that, first of all, I don't believe
it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Truth is though from the Bureau of Labor. I'm not
familiar with that. Do you remember this?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That was the same week we learned the Bureau of
Labor published a report claiming they'd lied about the unemployment numbers.
This was a month ago, and the Commerce Secretary goes
on live TV and says, oh, I hadn't heard about that.
That's probably just a lie that Donald Trump's telling. No,
we got that information from the Biden administration. Your administration.
(10:57):
You're the Commerce secretary. You've not heard this in for really,
you don't know what your department's doing. You don't know
what your administration's up to. Guys, it's pretty alarming. This
could cost the economy five hundred million dollars wait for
it per day.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Wow. East Coast and Golf Coast.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Port workers are on the cusp of crippling our economy,
and according to an analysis by the Conference Board, just
a one week's strike could cost US three point seven
eight billion dollars. Folks, that's five hundred and forty million
dollars per day. There are a combined thirty six East
and Gulf Coast ports which handle fifty seven percent of
(11:41):
US container volume. Together, these facilities handle a quarter of
US international trade. It's about three trillion dollars. Leading products
to be affected include electronics, automobiles. It ain't gonna be cheap, kids,
It's gonna sting a lot. My only hope and believe me.
(12:04):
I don't want this to happen. I don't want to
win an election like this, But if this is how
it must happen, my hope is that people will remember
this when they stand inside of a voter booth, when
they go into the polling location. I hope they remember this.
It's very critical time in America. The deadline for reaching
(12:25):
a deal falls just weeks before the November election. The
strike would occur as retailers scramble to finish importing inventory
to ensure customers or supplied ahead of what would be
a busy holiday season if not for this terrible economy.
Inflation is still absurdly high now. They'll brag about that.
They're like, no, crime's down, Inflation's down, y'all. They're patting
(12:48):
the numbers. Do you feel like things are cheaper at
the grocery store or do you feel like they're just
not getting expensive as quickly as they were before.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
It's not the same thing, is it is now? Imagine
you live in the path of this hurricane.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Biden just addressed the crisis in Georgia and North Carolina,
Florida and Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
He spoke yesterday. He sounds sick.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
I expect to be there. Excuse I expect to be
there later this week.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
He just had a call a month ago. Remember didn't
he have COVID? The guy is always sick all the time.
Why is he so ill?
Speaker 7 (13:25):
I had my team are in constant contact with the governors,
mayors and local leaders. I had a FEMA. Dan Griswell
is on the ground now in north of North Carolina.
She's going to stay in Nashville and that place your
reason for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
There was bad reports for Wow, he sounds bad, doesn't he.
You know, Jimmy Carter turned one hundred today. Doesn't it
sound like Joe Biden is older than Jimmy Carter. Not
a good sign, kiddos. I wish no harm on the man,
you know. I hope, I hope Biden feels better. I
just wish that his poor health, both mental and physically,
didn't have such an a on my life. I wonder too,
(14:05):
why it is that with all of this going on
right now, the media feels so driven to keep us
from understanding what's happening. You've been told over and over
again there won't be a debate on foreign policy, and
that's Donald Trump's fault.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Is it is that Trump's fault? Listen to Kelly and
Conway explain this.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
I asked President Trump today, I interviewed for an hour.
I said to him, the guy I know you is
not going to be able to sit still after a
ninety minute VP debate and let that be the last
word in presidential debates. You're going to say, well, when's
our next one? And I hope he does that, and
I hope do.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
You think there's going to be another debate with Harris?
Speaker 6 (14:45):
He had said no, but he didn't say totally no
that October twenty third one receive then's too late, huh.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I would like to see them have a conversation about
all the wars happening. You know, we didn't get that
debate in twenty twenty. We didn't get that debate this
time around either. We haven't what it was that. The
debate we had with Trump and Kamala was about January
six and Trump's rhetoric. If you're an American voter, if
(15:13):
you're a news consumer, don't you feel like you got robbed?
Trump was in Georgia yesterday and asked for a moment
of silence for those killed by Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
It's a storm that's also taken the lives of I
guess they have a count of ninety one, but that
count changes on an hourly basis, and it goes only
in one direction, unfortunately up but at least ninety one
people already.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And to the.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
Families and loved ones of those who have perished, we
mourn alongside of you, and we grieve every single life
so tragically lost. I'd like to now ask for a
moment of silence and prayer, if you would, for those
who have died.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Thank you. Yeah, that's a president right there.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yesterday, Kamala was at an LA fundraiser with Stevie Wonder
and Demi Lovado and Jessica Alba and Keegan Michael Key
and Lily Tomlin and Alanis Morrissett. And apparently the menu
include duck egg rolls, goat cheese, honey, blueberry balls, beef Wellington,
(16:33):
and lobster roles oh in crabcakes. So yeah, I guess
you could say there's kind of a difference between what
Donald's been up to and what Kamala has been up to. Yet,
oddly enough, Donald's the guy that got attacked for going
out yesterday and touring the sites of the hurricane damage
and trying to help people.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Joe Biden decades of giving dirty politics a bad name. Sorry,
dirty politics, This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness. On
KPRC nine fifty, Houston.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The vice presidential debate is tonight. You can expect things
to get a little bit contentious since the national news
media consumers are basically going to watch a fully grown
man beat a cross dressing weirdo to death live on stage.
I hope it isn't that bad, But anyway, that's tonight,
and I gotta tell you, let's not kid ourselves. The
(17:44):
vice president is pretty inconsequential. Look, I like jd Vance.
I like him enough. I don't have to agree with
him on everything. I like him a lot more than
Tim Walls. But it doesn't matter. It's not going to matter.
I don't think most people are voting for Tim or JD.
They're voting for Donald or Kamala. So what's on the
line right now? Take a look around the country today.
The support workers' strike is a pretty big deal. This
(18:05):
is going to cripple our economy every day that this
goes on. We don't make things in America. That was
the whole point of Trump's idea to put tariffs on China.
Wouldn't it be nice if Jim's shoes were made in
Southeast Texas. Wouldn't be nice if you didn't have to
get your medicine from the communists? Well, bad news, you do,
and now you might not be able to get that
thanks to this strike. Meanwhile, we got that hurricane going on.
(18:27):
I got to think in a week or two, anybody
that still can't afford supplies to rebuild after the hurricane
is probably going to be pretty pissed at those dock workers.
And oh, by the way, there are wars going on
in what four out of seven continents at the moment.
You think Kamala and Joe are prepared to deal with that.
My next guest was supposed to be here yesterday. It's
not his fault. We were dealing with some technical issues.
(18:50):
A lot of you probably were as well. He's one
of the lead anchors in info wars dot com. But
he's also an independent journalist, so he relies on his iPhone.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
His cell phone, you know, is a.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Mobile connection, whatever it may be, to communicate and to
connect with the world. And yesterday on national outage caused
millions of people to lose their their cellular connections. Anyway,
he's here now, Ohen Is this the end of times,
my man? I mean, give us some give us some hope,
Owenschroyer of InfoWars dot com.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Well, it's certainly not the end of times, though, I
have to say, in your wonderful introduction to some of
the news we're going to cover, you missed the fact
that you did the greatest introduction of a radio guest
in the history of broadcasting, and it was basically sullied
some odd reason, For some odd reason, they are hush
(19:44):
hush about. You know, I tend to be an optimist,
as I know you do too. I've met you personally.
We're both actually optimists, but we're also realists. Now, one
thing I like to say to Americans who talk about
the negative things, and look, we all do it. We
can't help it because we're people that want to solve problems,
and we're people that want to improve our way of life,
(20:07):
our civilization. And so that's why I think we tend
to focus on the negative is because we want to
find solutions. We're a pragmatic people. But I think that
when you look at the United States of America and
its history as a country, we've been through a lot.
This country has been through a lot. The American people
have been through a lot, and we've always found a
(20:29):
way to persevere, and we've always found a way to
make it out on the other side. Now, I don't
know if we've ever been up against something the likes
of which we're up against now, not just the litany
of the singular issues that you laid out, but kind
of the larger issue of what's lurking behind us, which
is this corporate world government that is basically going to
(20:53):
be dictating our lives and I think the end of
the constant, the Bill of Rights as we know it.
But Americans have been through hard times, perhaps even harder times.
I believe we will get through this as well. It
might take a miracle to unite us in order to
get onto the other side of this, But I am optimistic.
(21:16):
I am a believer that America is destined by God
to lead the world yet again. But there's no doubt
we're gonna go through something here in the near future
before we get there.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Oh, and that is profound I think I often forget
what a serious deep thinker you are as a But
I'm grateful to have you as a friend, though, And
that is actually that was well articulated, my brother.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
I understand why you do this for a living. We
are I think people are just things seem bleak.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Today it's thirty days out from the election, and most
of our listeners are probably in an age group where
they understand what.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
A port worker strike entails.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
People aren't going to be able to get iPhones and
androids that people were mad that those weren't working yesterday.
You're not even going to be able to buy one
in a week. People think that their medicine's too expensive.
Now imagine what it's going to cost in fourteen days
when all of our medication comes to us from China.
That's not going to be getting delivered. And I really
(22:16):
got a wonder to those people living in the path
of the hurricane. What are they going to do when
they can't get the supplies they need to rebuild, or
when those supplies cost three times as much. If Reagan
was president, I got to think he would fire all
these port workers right now and replace him. But Biden
won't do that because Biden's afraid of the unions. Biden's
too worried about the election, or is he or does
(22:36):
he hate Kamala enough to do it? I mean, who
really knows what's going on inside that guy's brain, including himself.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
Well, I don't think there's much going on, but that's
been the case ever since he got elected. I think
the truth is that Joe Biden has just given up
his role as commander in chief when they ran the
coup against him and replaced him with Kamala. I think
that he took that very personally, and I think he
just said, I'm done. Fine, if you don't want me,
then I'm done. He'll show up when he needs to
(23:06):
show up, but even then he's half assing it. I mean,
just look at the complete lack of response to the hurricane.
I mean, really, you could even argue look at the
lack of response to this sport worker strike, which has
actually been in the works for quite some time now.
And I'm starting to look into this a little bit,
(23:27):
and there's a couple of interesting things I think worth
reporting to your audience. And I'll start with this one.
And maybe this is the heaviest one, and this isn't
meant to be an insult to anybody. It's just the reality.
A lot of these things, a lot of these things
that we're going to be missing, are things that most
people probably should be going without anyway. And again, I
(23:49):
understand a lot of people need pharmaceutical drugs and a
lot of people rely on these drugs, but really we
shouldn't be in a situation where you rely on these
things to survive. And I think a lot of the
goods that are coming in as well are just going
to be junk food type items, the types of things
that get stored on your grocery shelf that you need
(24:12):
like decipher just to read the ingredients. So it kind
of seems like that might be the case. Now there
are going to be some more consequential things potentially dealing
with energy and some other necessities. But you know, if
you are somebody that goes and shops for food at
your local farmers market, I don't think that you're going
to be as affected by this, if at all. If
(24:35):
you're somebody that lives life without relying on pharmaceutical drugs,
I don't know if your life is going to be
affected by this at all. So again I'm not trying
to make any points about people's life decisions. I just
think it's important. I just think it's important for people
to understand. I think what's going to be affected here,
but time will tell. Now. Having said that this is
a contract that expired, it was a six year contract,
(24:58):
the owners of these ports said that they wouldn't automate
I guess their bridges and their gates. I'm not going
to pretend to be a port expert. It's not a
field I've ever had any experience in. I'm guessing it's
basically it's basically saying that they want people to work
these jobs and not machines, not AI robots, and so
that seems to be the standoff. And of course they're
(25:19):
asking for more money. Last I heard was fifty percent.
Now here's what is. Here's what I think is the
big learning thing for all of this. And you mentioned this,
with our reliance on foreign countries, I guess I shouldn't
have been surprised when I found out that most of
these ports are owned by foreign companies, foreign companies, And
(25:40):
so I'm sitting here thinking, well, there's your story right there.
You know a deal will eventually be struck. How hamstrung
Americans get by this port strike is obviously yet to
be seen. But to me, the story is why do
we have American ports that are owned by foreign companies?
Who's is that? And I think that that's the root
(26:03):
of this problem quite.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Frankly, yeah, Oh, and that is absolutely profound and it's
very important. Way back in nineteen twenty the past, this
thing called the Merchant Marine Act, the Jones Act. It
was supposed to prevent this very thing from happening. But
little by little that changed, as you just pointed out,
And it was really back in two thousand and six
that I think a lot of American liberal media outlets
(26:25):
open their eyes to the fact that, oh, this is
foreign ownership of US sports is bad, but we're letting
it happen and we did nothing about it. Now, that
was back during George W. Bush, You've said a lot there,
and before we run out of time, I think we
got to talk about the whole reason I booked you
on the radio show today. It's just that there's so
much happened in the news. I really wanted to hear
Owen's take on it. I remember the first time I
(26:46):
learned about info wars, I like a lot of people,
I probably rolled my eyes as like, wow, this is
this is pretty intense, this is pretty extreme. These guys
make some good points, they also make some crazy points.
And then I think right around twenty eighteen, a lot
of conservatives opened up to the fact, I mean six
years ago we figured out when they deplatformed Alex Jones
they were coming for the rest of us. There were
(27:08):
some conservatives that didn't think so, there were some Republicans
and some right leaning libertarian thought leaders that didn't think
they'd go, and then they did. And now people realize
it's not a joke. So now when something happens to
Alex Jones or info Wars or anybody on your team,
I am very cognizant of the fact that we could
all be next what they did to you guys, because
they think they think Alex Jones had a wrong opinion
(27:29):
about something that it's my understanding he didn't even spend
much time talking about. And now that what they're taking
apart your assets, they're taking apart the federal government is
coming for info Wars. And the report today is that
Media Matters and some other left wing extremist groups might
be mulling the purchase of the organization that you work with.
They're talking to a Texas judge. They're trying to buy
(27:52):
what the name. I don't get it, are you guys?
I find that insane. Oh and like okay, so they'll
own the name info Wars. Fine, you guys could call
it something else. People aren't tuning in for the name.
They're tuning in for Alex. They're tuning in for Owen.
They're tuning in for Paul and everybody else on your team.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
I don't really know what the value of info Wars
is without Alex Jones, right, I mean that he is
info Wars. Now, if the strategy is to shut it down,
then ironically enough, they're going to have to pay for it.
I mean, you want to talk about irony. That's the
ultimate irony right there, is that they're going to have
(28:30):
to pay to have it shut down. And so maybe
they will. I mean, George Soros just brought bought up
two hundred radio stations, not because he wants to make
a dollar, but because he wants to control mass media.
It's likely that those radio stations have been running in
the red for some time, and so for him, it's
just all about a propaganda machine. And I suppose when
(28:51):
you have billions of dollars at your expense, really costs
like these don't matter to you. So I suppose a
group like that could come in and buy it. You know,
the whole roller coaster ride just continues at Info Wars.
I think the story is as you said it, though.
Whatever they do to Alex Jones or Info Wars or
(29:14):
Owen Schroyer, then they can do to you. And I
think that that's what the American people need to understand.
And whether you like the work that Alex has done
over the years or not, the issue is still the same,
and so I do think people are starting to understand that.
But unfortunately it's gotten to such a point now where
(29:35):
as you know, I had to spend time in prison.
We have a lot of other Americans that are now
suffering behind bars, people getting sued with the lawfare, and
so the censorship continues. Thank goodness for Elon Musk rejuvenating
some free speech to X. Otherwise a lot of these
news stories we probably wouldn't even be hearing about or
(29:56):
talking about, quite frankly, like for example, what just happened
with a chemical lab explosion in Conyer's Georgia, just south
of Atlanta. I haven't seen that on the news once,
not one time if it wasn't for X. So that's
just kind of a small example, dude, Owen. Good news
is though, as you said, Americans are waking up, and
I gotta say this. I'd be remiss if I didn't, because,
(30:18):
as you know, I spent time in the Oakdale Federal
Corrections Institution in Louisiana and this show, this show was
number one. You're number one at Oakdale FCI, and so
I gotta give a shout out. I'm sure some people.
I'm sure people are tuned in right now from the
old Oakdale Federal Corrections Institution. Who knows, maybe some prison
(30:41):
guards that know me as well. So i'd be remiss
if I didn't give a shout out to my old
mates over there in the Federal Institution.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
I love my man. It is great to hear that. Dude. Yes,
we love our inmates, and it's true.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Actually, the whole reason Owen and I became friends with
each other was because the government tried to silence them.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
It's kind of amazing how that happened.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Oh, and I got to think, no matter what happens,
you guys still have a voice, you still have an audience.
Info Wars is just a name, you know, It's it's great,
it's a cool name.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Obviously it's stuck. It seemed to have it seems to
have worked over the years.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
But that's not why people are tuning in. You know,
it's not some fashion brand. It doesn't matter what the
name of it is. I got to think, you know,
there was no Project Veritas without James O'Keefe. I don't
think there could be an Info Wars without people like
Alex and Owen. In the meantime, though, I no matter
what happens, you guys keep working, right, you guys will
just find another place to broadcast.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
Well, absolutely, And that's the beauty of the modern media
landscape with the Internet and social media. And as I said,
I mean, really I look at Rumble and X. I mean,
those are the two platforms where I'm not banned, and
so those are the two platforms where I can still
get an audience. And you know, if Info Wars does
go down, hopefully make a living. But yeah, they really
(31:54):
want to end the First Amendment, but they haven't yet.
So whatever the fate of Info Wars ultimately is I
know Alex Jones is going to continue to broadcast, continue
to do his show, whether it's under a new name,
a new company, solo. Time will tell you know right now.
For me, though I'm focused on this election, I'm going
to continue to fulfill my duties at Info Wars till
(32:14):
there are no more duties to fulfill and just stay
on this roller coaster ride until it comes to a
stop and I'm told I got to get off.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
For those of you that don't know who this is,
Owen Schreyer is definitely a name you should be keeping
up with. Follow him on social media. He's got a podcast,
they've got a radio show. They're on X Like he said,
he's on Rumble for those of you that use that.
And if you take the time to seek out good media,
like the stuff they're creating, it's there. You know the truth.
The truth exists if you're willing to go look for it.
(32:43):
Owen Schreyer, my brother, keep up the good fight.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Kamala Harris deserves to be vice president like Elvis deserved
as black belt in karate. What a hunka hunka burning
krab This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I can't believe I'm about to tell you this, but
notable French actor Juicy Smaller is back in the news. Yes,
Jesse Smaalet is back. I don't read People Magazine. I
kind of forgot it existed. But there's a report at
Breitbart dot com that breaks down what People magazine just did.
Because I guess they interviewed him. People Magazine offered convicted
(33:21):
hate hoaster Jesse Smallett an unchallenged environment to spread his
ugly and devisive hoax. Y'all remember it was January twenty ninth,
twenty nineteen. It was five years ago. Jesse Smallett claimed
he was the victim of a hate crime perpetrated by
two white guys, two in the morning and freezing downtown
(33:41):
cold Chicago. We were supposed to believe some white supremacists
were walking around and that they called him the F
word and the N word before beating him up, that
they recognized that they knew that he was a gay,
black movie star TV star actor. I guess would be
the best. Would you know who Jesse Smalltt was if
(34:02):
it wasn't for his scandal? I bet you're not a
white supremacist. I bet you're not a neo Nazi, and
I bet you probably didn't watch Empire. Empire was kind
of Look, I'm just speaking in broad generalities here. Empire
was a TV show that's very popular with black people,
and not just black people, younger hip black people, not
(34:26):
necessarily white people from the country, not necessarily white Republicans,
probably not white supremacists. I wouldn't have known who Jesse
Smalltt is. And I keep up with pop culture. I'm
a news junkie. I read news stories about people I
don't even care about it. Read the news all day long.
It's my job is somebody who comments on the news
(34:48):
and shares information with hopefully a curious audience, to give
you guys the best information possible. So I read and
consume a lot of news that I don't actually care
about in order to figure out if it's relevant or not.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Usually it's not.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
And if I read a story about Jesse Smollett and
he wasn't involved in that scandal, I think I would
have forgot about it about five seconds later. So why
would two white supremacists walking around in downtown Chicago at
two am during a polar vortex a polar vortex means
it's negative thirty degrees out. It means the cold winter
air of the North Pole has made its way down
(35:25):
through Lake Michigan into the downtown area of Chicago. It's
a word, it's a term that meteorologists and weather experts
used to describe that phenomenon. Monomena, monomena, bob ba baa,
you get the point. And then he claimed he was
beaten by them. They looped a noose around his neck
and poured bleach on him, bleach, all while he was
(35:47):
out getting a subway sandwich. This story didn't make any sense.
Oh and then they shouted, this is Maga country. How
lucky were these guys to be so prepared for a
Haye crime at two am and icy cold Chicago that
they stumbled across a gay Hollywood actor. What, of course,
it was a hoax, police say Jesse. He invented the
(36:10):
whole thing for attention and to get a bump in
his empire salary.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Instead, he got fired.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
He got ultimately convicted of five counts of felony disorderly conduct.
This came with a one hundred and thirty thousand dollars fine,
a one hundred and fifty day jail sentence. He served
only six days by the way, he was released early.
If his conviction is not overturned, Smollett may have to
(36:36):
finish the other one hundred and forty four days, which
this entitled spoiled Bratt deserves. In my opinion, the guy's
forty two years old. He's my age, and instead of
admitting he did something stupid, instead of admitting he regrets it,
instead of admitting he'll serve his time or take the punishment,
he continues to this very day to stand by and
be defined by a reprehensible lie. Listen to this quote
(36:59):
from people Maga quote. Despite the narrative Chussy says, so
many have assumed, he maintains his innocence to this day.
He says, quote, I was numb. I didn't know how
to connect the dots. I really genuinely did not know.
I couldn't make sense of what was going on, and
I couldn't make sense of what people were actually thinking.
(37:20):
What exactly do they think happened? I couldn't put two
and two together. Guys, there's no journalism going on here.
Why not ask him why his two black friends claim
that he paid them to beat them up, that he
paid them to beat him up while pretending to be
Trump supporters challenge him a little bit. Instead, he's allowed
(37:42):
to pose as a victim. Listen to this next quote quote.
I have more adult, grown up way of thinking about
it now. But at the same time, my views have
not changed, my heart has not shifted. I'm the same
man that I was and will always be. If tons
of people are listening to you, you should say something
worth them hearing. Kind of seems like Jesse's found a
(38:06):
second career producing and directing TV movies about gay men
for beet. That's fine. Look, I don't deny him the
right to make a living. We all deserve a second chance.
But this guy does not deserve forgiveness, nor should he
be allowed to move on until he admits what he
did was a lie, and maybe then people will forgive him.
(38:29):
The egomaniac is not contrite. He's still spreading a toxic lie.
It's a disgrace. Living a lie is exhausting. Most of
us figure that out. As a kid. Did you eat
the cookie? Why weren't you in class today? Sally says
you punched her on the playground. You know, kids stuff.
(38:51):
Fess up, get behind you, admit what you did wrong.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Life is simpler that way. I'm Kenny Webster. I'm grateful
to have you all listening today.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
I'll be back tomorrow for more of what you bought
a radio for. I love you all.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Don't forget if you want to purchase tickets to our
upcoming comedy show, Operation Comedy Therapy is back. We got
a whole bunch of conservative, right leaning thinkers that are
going to be doing stand up comedy at Bad Astronaut Brewery.
That's Sunday, November tenth. It's Sunday, it's an early show.
It's at five pm. I think, so even if you
do have to work on Monday, we won't have you
(39:26):
up late. We'll drink some beers, we'll listen to some
good jokes. And if I'm not mistaken, the next day
is Veterans Day, and that Sunday is the Marine Corps Birthday.
If you have a Marine in your life, get some tickets.
Tickets available Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org, or you could
purchase them using the Walton and Johnson smartphone app.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
They don't call.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
It doesn't cost much twenty five bucks for a ticket
forty dollars for VIP tax deductible. Technically, the comedy show
is free. It's our gift to you for making a
donation to wheelchairs for warriors.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
That's how it works. So I hope you all be there.
I love you all.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Have a great afternoon. Check me out on social media today.
I am going to head over to that port workers
strike right now and see what's going on.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happy this radio.
Speaker 9 (40:20):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile of the Suit
of Happiness us on your radio style, just as cheeseburgs
lib rise at the suit.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Vice presidential candidates JD. Vance and Tim Walls will debate tonight.
It's being billed as the most inconsequential part of the
most consequential election of our lifetimes. I think that's probably
a safe bet. Hi, you turn the radio on. You
know who's here this afternoon. First of all, I'm here.
This is a live show. We did a little rerun
(00:45):
this morning, but I'm here right now and you're hearing
my voice obviously, But I'm actually this is a new episode.
I'll prove it today. The port workers strike is beginning,
and there's chaos all over the country as large portions
of the southeast half of the country have just been
ripped apart by a hurricane ar happening on multiple continents
(01:08):
right now, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America. That's four continents.
And oh, by the way, did I mention Owen Schroyer
from Info Wars is going to be here this afternoon.
Stick around for him. The government's coming for their stuff.
He's going to tell you the whole story. Don't go anywhere.
We'll talk about that. But before we get to anything,
I gotta think this issue with the union workers at
(01:30):
the docks around the country is the most important. The
president of the dock workers from Maine to Texas says,
they're gone on strike today for the first time since
nineteen seventy seven. Isn't that interesting? This stops all shipping
from coming ashore on the entire Eastern seaboard, all the
way down to the Gulf of Mexico. Stock up on
(01:52):
what you need right now, kids. It ain't going to
be there in a week or two.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
These people today don't know what a shrike is, right,
hit the shreets from Maine to Texas. Every single port
a lockdown.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
All right?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So this is the president of the dock workers right
for the eastern half of the country. This guy's wearing
a blue collar shirt. He's a bald gentleman, gray beard,
go tea glasses, gold chain. Why is he wearing a
gold chain? An odd choice of fashion to wear while
(02:27):
speaking in front of the camera about this strike.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You know what's gonna happen. I'll tell you. First week
be all over the news every nine boom boom. Second week,
guys who sell costs can't sell costs because the cause
ain't coming in. Off the ships. They get laid off.
Third week, malls closing down. They can't get the goods
(02:52):
from China, they can't sell clothes. They can't do this.
Everything in the United States comes on a ship. They
go out of business. This construction workers get laid off
because the materials aren't coming in. The steel's not coming in,
the lumber's not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody's
hating the long Showman now because now they realize how
(03:15):
important our jobs are. Now I have the President screaming
at me. I'm putting a taff hearty on you go ahead.
Taf hearty means I have to go back to work
for ninety days after cool you off period. Do you
think when I go back for ninety days, those men
are going to go to work on that pier. It's
going to cost the money, the company's money to pay
their salaries. Well, they go one from thirty moves an
(03:38):
now and maybe the eight they're gonna be like this,
who's going to win here?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
In the long run. Wow, you're better.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Off sitting down and let's get a contract, and let's
move on with this world. And could today's world.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I'll cripple you.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I will cripple you, and you have no idea what
that means.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I will cripple you. He says.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I got to assume the sort of people that listen
to talk radio, people listening to this show, they do
know what that means. Because right leaning thinkers, conservatives, libertarians, populists, republicans, constitutionalists,
reached the point in their lives where they believe in
those ideological opinions after learning about what these things entail.
(04:21):
I imagine a lot of you probably probably hate the
union boss right now. I don't know how you feel
about the union worker. I think a lot of people
like union workers. They hate the union boss. Maybe that's
how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I don't know. I've never been a big fan of unions.
I get it. You know, you got the.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Police officers union or the firefighters union. These guys' risk
life and limb every day for very little money. But
even that, I understand that it's complicated, right because unions
are almost an antiquated idea at this point. You know,
once upon a time people would join the union because
you lived out in the middle of nowhere where there
was one job at some factory, and if you didn't
(05:02):
like it, you couldn't pick up and go anywhere. You
didn't have any money, you didn't have anywhere to go.
Today you got monster dot Com, Craigslist, LinkedIn, you can
look online for jobs on Facebook, you can work, you
could do e commerce. There's a lot of jobs today
that don't really involve being stuck somewhere.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
So why does the union still exist? And what do
these guys want?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well, they want twenty percent rais Calm down a little, guys,
nobody's getting a twenty percent raise right now. Yeah, I'd
like a twenty percent raise too. Can I have a
twenty percent raise? And they want they want to promise
that there won't be automation. You're basically AI. They don't
want technology taking their jobs in the coming years. Earlier
(05:46):
today I heard a recording of an AI produced podcast.
The podcast was about podcast hosts coming to the realization
that they were AI. Now, a lot of you probably
would think that's like the one job you don't have
to worry about losing if you're you know, AI is
not going to take your job, if you're a talk
(06:07):
show host. Right, guys, I didn't even come into work today.
This is just software. I'm just kidding. No, I mean
any job could be replaced by automation, even a talk
show host, even a newscaster, even a radio presenter. That
doesn't mean you're not going to have a job. That
doesn't mean do you think people just aren't going to work?
Technology is just going to destroy the world. Well, that's
(06:29):
what Ted Kaczinski thought. I don't necessarily know exactly how
it's going to all go down. I don't claim to
be able to see the future, but I do know
the economy's going to change soon, and there will be
new jobs as a result of it. Once upon a time,
you didn't need somebody to change a muffler. You needed
somebody to fix the wheels on a wagon. You needed
somebody to put shoes on a horse. Today, if you
(06:52):
told young people you had to put shoes on a horse,
they wouldn't understand what Nike or Adidas, They wouldn't get it.
The world just changing. There are only a couple things
you can count on. You can count on change. You
can count on death, you can count on taxes.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
You've heard that.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Old cliche expression, and you can assume that at some
point AI is going to probably affect your job for
better or worse. And here's the kicker, And this is
really what I want you to take away from this.
It will mostly be for better. You will still have
a job. You know, the Hollywood movie writers and the
(07:30):
people on the dock don't seem like they have But
the port workers, they don't seem like they have a
lot in common, do they.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Well, they were both worried about this.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Hollywood movie writers didn't want their jobs to be taken
away by AI. Anybody can write a Hallmark movie, anybody
can write a lifetime movie. It's the same cliche thing
over and over again. But that doesn't mean there isn't
still going to be jobs for writers, still gonna be
jobs for people that want to work at a port.
It's just going to change. I know it's not pleasant,
(08:01):
but it'll be better. Would you rather live in a
world with today's technology or the technology of one hundred
years ago?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And as you sit here and I'm all over the ladder, I.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Might remind you you probably spent the weekend, cooking gumbo
in a crockpot, watching college football on your flat screen TV.
The world is a better place because of technology for
the most part, and it'll continue to be that way.
My point is, don't be afraid of the robots unless
(08:33):
unless the robots eat human flesh.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Wait a second, do they screw you?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I'm going to Texas and thank our lucky stars, sorry,
our lucky lone star.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
O we did.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
This is Kinny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The poor workers are going on strike today. Where's may
Or Pete? What's he doing? Babies as he breastfed today?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Oh? More than one. That's good him. I'm glad he's
keeping busy.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Major dock workers strike threatening the US supply chain. The
potential exists for shortages and price increases. I would say
that's an understatement. That's according to Senator Phil Williams. Trust me, Phil,
it's not just the potential. It's gonna happen. CNBC just
talked to the Commerce Secretary. Oh that should be reassuring. Okay, Well,
(09:29):
Mayor Pete's nowhere around. The Transportation Secretary is a little
too busy to deal with this right now. Let's hear
what the romando is that her name. Let's hear what
she's got to say. She must be hard at work
on this. Where have you been kind of focused on
hearing on what would happen if the strike goes let's
say longer than a week.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Again, I have not been very focused on that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Wow, not focused on that. Well, it's probably gonna happen,
so maybe you could be. I don't know name anyone
more out of touch than our commerce secretary this one.
I mean, that is just remarkable that she would even
make a statement like that. It reminds me of what
was it a month ago? She was at the Democratic
National Convention back in the summer talking to what was
(10:15):
it ABC News when this happened.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Can you hear that?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Do you potentially think that this new numbers could be
a liability for this campaign?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
When I hear that, first of all, I don't believe
it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Truth is though from the Bureau of Labor. I'm not
familiar with that. Do you remember this?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That was the same week we learned the Bureau of
Labor published a report claiming they'd lied about the unemployment numbers.
This was a month ago, and the Commerce Secretary goes
on live TV and says, oh, I hadn't heard about that.
That's probably just a lie that Donald Trump's telling. No,
we got that information from the Biden administration. Your administration.
(10:57):
You're the Commerce secretary. You've not heard this in for really,
you don't know what your department's doing. You don't know
what your administration's up to. Guys, it's pretty alarming. This
could cost the economy five hundred million dollars wait for
it per day.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Wow. East Coast and Golf Coast.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Port workers are on the cusp of crippling our economy,
and according to an analysis by the Conference Board, just
a one week's strike could cost US three point seven
eight billion dollars. Folks, that's five hundred and forty million
dollars per day. There are a combined thirty six East
and Gulf Coast ports which handle fifty seven percent of
(11:41):
US container volume. Together, these facilities handle a quarter of
US international trade. It's about three trillion dollars. Leading products
to be affected include electronics, automobiles. It ain't gonna be cheap, kids,
It's gonna sting a lot. My only hope and believe me.
(12:04):
I don't want this to happen. I don't want to
win an election like this, But if this is how
it must happen, my hope is that people will remember
this when they stand inside of a voter booth, when
they go into the polling location. I hope they remember this.
It's very critical time in America. The deadline for reaching
(12:25):
a deal falls just weeks before the November election. The
strike would occur as retailers scramble to finish importing inventory
to ensure customers or supplied ahead of what would be
a busy holiday season if not for this terrible economy.
Inflation is still absurdly high now. They'll brag about that.
They're like, no, crime's down, Inflation's down, y'all. They're patting
(12:48):
the numbers. Do you feel like things are cheaper at
the grocery store or do you feel like they're just
not getting expensive as quickly as they were before.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
It's not the same thing, is it is now? Imagine
you live in the path of this hurricane.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Biden just addressed the crisis in Georgia and North Carolina,
Florida and Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
He spoke yesterday. He sounds sick.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
I expect to be there. Excuse I expect to be
there later this week.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
He just had a call a month ago. Remember didn't
he have COVID? The guy is always sick all the time.
Why is he so ill?
Speaker 7 (13:25):
I had my team are in constant contact with the governors,
mayors and local leaders. I had a FEMA. Dan Griswell
is on the ground now in north of North Carolina.
She's going to stay in Nashville and that place your
reason for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
There was bad reports for Wow, he sounds bad, doesn't he.
You know, Jimmy Carter turned one hundred today. Doesn't it
sound like Joe Biden is older than Jimmy Carter. Not
a good sign, kiddos. I wish no harm on the man,
you know. I hope, I hope Biden feels better. I
just wish that his poor health, both mental and physically,
didn't have such an a on my life. I wonder too,
(14:05):
why it is that with all of this going on
right now, the media feels so driven to keep us
from understanding what's happening. You've been told over and over
again there won't be a debate on foreign policy, and
that's Donald Trump's fault.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Is it is that Trump's fault? Listen to Kelly and
Conway explain this.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
I asked President Trump today, I interviewed for an hour.
I said to him, the guy I know you is
not going to be able to sit still after a
ninety minute VP debate and let that be the last
word in presidential debates. You're going to say, well, when's
our next one? And I hope he does that, and
I hope do.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
You think there's going to be another debate with Harris?
Speaker 6 (14:45):
He had said no, but he didn't say totally no
that October twenty third one receive then's too late, huh.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I would like to see them have a conversation about
all the wars happening. You know, we didn't get that
debate in twenty twenty. We didn't get that debate this
time around either. We haven't what it was that. The
debate we had with Trump and Kamala was about January
six and Trump's rhetoric. If you're an American voter, if
(15:13):
you're a news consumer, don't you feel like you got robbed?
Trump was in Georgia yesterday and asked for a moment
of silence for those killed by Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
It's a storm that's also taken the lives of I
guess they have a count of ninety one, but that
count changes on an hourly basis, and it goes only
in one direction, unfortunately up but at least ninety one
people already.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And to the.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
Families and loved ones of those who have perished, we
mourn alongside of you, and we grieve every single life
so tragically lost. I'd like to now ask for a
moment of silence and prayer, if you would, for those
who have died.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Thank you. Yeah, that's a president right there.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yesterday, Kamala was at an LA fundraiser with Stevie Wonder
and Demi Lovado and Jessica Alba and Keegan Michael Key
and Lily Tomlin and Alanis Morrissett. And apparently the menu
include duck egg rolls, goat cheese, honey, blueberry balls, beef Wellington,
(16:33):
and lobster roles oh in crabcakes. So yeah, I guess
you could say there's kind of a difference between what
Donald's been up to and what Kamala has been up to. Yet,
oddly enough, Donald's the guy that got attacked for going
out yesterday and touring the sites of the hurricane damage
and trying to help people.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Joe Biden decades of giving dirty politics a bad name. Sorry,
dirty politics, This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness. On
KPRC nine fifty, Houston.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The vice presidential debate is tonight. You can expect things
to get a little bit contentious since the national news
media consumers are basically going to watch a fully grown
man beat a cross dressing weirdo to death live on stage.
I hope it isn't that bad, But anyway, that's tonight,
and I gotta tell you, let's not kid ourselves. The
(17:44):
vice president is pretty inconsequential. Look, I like jd Vance.
I like him enough. I don't have to agree with
him on everything. I like him a lot more than
Tim Walls. But it doesn't matter. It's not going to matter.
I don't think most people are voting for Tim or JD.
They're voting for Donald or Kamala. So what's on the
line right now? Take a look around the country today.
The support workers' strike is a pretty big deal. This
(18:05):
is going to cripple our economy every day that this
goes on. We don't make things in America. That was
the whole point of Trump's idea to put tariffs on China.
Wouldn't it be nice if Jim's shoes were made in
Southeast Texas. Wouldn't be nice if you didn't have to
get your medicine from the communists? Well, bad news, you do,
and now you might not be able to get that
thanks to this strike. Meanwhile, we got that hurricane going on.
(18:27):
I got to think in a week or two, anybody
that still can't afford supplies to rebuild after the hurricane
is probably going to be pretty pissed at those dock workers.
And oh, by the way, there are wars going on
in what four out of seven continents at the moment.
You think Kamala and Joe are prepared to deal with that.
My next guest was supposed to be here yesterday. It's
not his fault. We were dealing with some technical issues.
(18:50):
A lot of you probably were as well. He's one
of the lead anchors in info wars dot com. But
he's also an independent journalist, so he relies on his iPhone.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
His cell phone, you know, is a.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Mobile connection, whatever it may be, to communicate and to
connect with the world. And yesterday on national outage caused
millions of people to lose their their cellular connections. Anyway,
he's here now, Ohen Is this the end of times,
my man? I mean, give us some give us some hope,
Owenschroyer of InfoWars dot com.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Well, it's certainly not the end of times, though, I
have to say, in your wonderful introduction to some of
the news we're going to cover, you missed the fact
that you did the greatest introduction of a radio guest
in the history of broadcasting, and it was basically sullied
some odd reason, For some odd reason, they are hush
(19:44):
hush about. You know, I tend to be an optimist,
as I know you do too. I've met you personally.
We're both actually optimists, but we're also realists. Now, one
thing I like to say to Americans who talk about
the negative things, and look, we all do it. We
can't help it because we're people that want to solve problems,
and we're people that want to improve our way of life,
(20:07):
our civilization. And so that's why I think we tend
to focus on the negative is because we want to
find solutions. We're a pragmatic people. But I think that
when you look at the United States of America and
its history as a country, we've been through a lot.
This country has been through a lot. The American people
have been through a lot, and we've always found a
(20:29):
way to persevere, and we've always found a way to
make it out on the other side. Now, I don't
know if we've ever been up against something the likes
of which we're up against now, not just the litany
of the singular issues that you laid out, but kind
of the larger issue of what's lurking behind us, which
is this corporate world government that is basically going to
(20:53):
be dictating our lives and I think the end of
the constant, the Bill of Rights as we know it.
But Americans have been through hard times, perhaps even harder times.
I believe we will get through this as well. It
might take a miracle to unite us in order to
get onto the other side of this, But I am optimistic.
(21:16):
I am a believer that America is destined by God
to lead the world yet again. But there's no doubt
we're gonna go through something here in the near future
before we get there.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Oh, and that is profound I think I often forget
what a serious deep thinker you are as a But
I'm grateful to have you as a friend, though, And
that is actually that was well articulated, my brother.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
I understand why you do this for a living. We
are I think people are just things seem bleak.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Today it's thirty days out from the election, and most
of our listeners are probably in an age group where
they understand what.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
A port worker strike entails.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
People aren't going to be able to get iPhones and
androids that people were mad that those weren't working yesterday.
You're not even going to be able to buy one
in a week. People think that their medicine's too expensive.
Now imagine what it's going to cost in fourteen days
when all of our medication comes to us from China.
That's not going to be getting delivered. And I really
(22:16):
got a wonder to those people living in the path
of the hurricane. What are they going to do when
they can't get the supplies they need to rebuild, or
when those supplies cost three times as much. If Reagan
was president, I got to think he would fire all
these port workers right now and replace him. But Biden
won't do that because Biden's afraid of the unions. Biden's
too worried about the election, or is he or does
(22:36):
he hate Kamala enough to do it? I mean, who
really knows what's going on inside that guy's brain, including himself.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
Well, I don't think there's much going on, but that's
been the case ever since he got elected. I think
the truth is that Joe Biden has just given up
his role as commander in chief when they ran the
coup against him and replaced him with Kamala. I think
that he took that very personally, and I think he
just said, I'm done. Fine, if you don't want me,
then I'm done. He'll show up when he needs to
(23:06):
show up, but even then he's half assing it. I mean,
just look at the complete lack of response to the hurricane.
I mean, really, you could even argue look at the
lack of response to this sport worker strike, which has
actually been in the works for quite some time now.
And I'm starting to look into this a little bit,
(23:27):
and there's a couple of interesting things I think worth
reporting to your audience. And I'll start with this one.
And maybe this is the heaviest one, and this isn't
meant to be an insult to anybody. It's just the reality.
A lot of these things, a lot of these things
that we're going to be missing, are things that most
people probably should be going without anyway. And again, I
(23:49):
understand a lot of people need pharmaceutical drugs and a
lot of people rely on these drugs, but really we
shouldn't be in a situation where you rely on these
things to survive. And I think a lot of the
goods that are coming in as well are just going
to be junk food type items, the types of things
that get stored on your grocery shelf that you need
(24:12):
like decipher just to read the ingredients. So it kind
of seems like that might be the case. Now there
are going to be some more consequential things potentially dealing
with energy and some other necessities. But you know, if
you are somebody that goes and shops for food at
your local farmers market, I don't think that you're going
to be as affected by this, if at all. If
(24:35):
you're somebody that lives life without relying on pharmaceutical drugs,
I don't know if your life is going to be
affected by this at all. So again I'm not trying
to make any points about people's life decisions. I just
think it's important. I just think it's important for people
to understand. I think what's going to be affected here,
but time will tell. Now. Having said that this is
a contract that expired, it was a six year contract,
(24:58):
the owners of these ports said that they wouldn't automate
I guess their bridges and their gates. I'm not going
to pretend to be a port expert. It's not a
field I've ever had any experience in. I'm guessing it's
basically it's basically saying that they want people to work
these jobs and not machines, not AI robots, and so
that seems to be the standoff. And of course they're
(25:19):
asking for more money. Last I heard was fifty percent.
Now here's what is. Here's what I think is the
big learning thing for all of this. And you mentioned this,
with our reliance on foreign countries, I guess I shouldn't
have been surprised when I found out that most of
these ports are owned by foreign companies, foreign companies, And
(25:40):
so I'm sitting here thinking, well, there's your story right there.
You know a deal will eventually be struck. How hamstrung
Americans get by this port strike is obviously yet to
be seen. But to me, the story is why do
we have American ports that are owned by foreign companies?
Who's is that? And I think that that's the root
(26:03):
of this problem quite.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Frankly, yeah, Oh, and that is absolutely profound and it's
very important. Way back in nineteen twenty the past, this
thing called the Merchant Marine Act, the Jones Act. It
was supposed to prevent this very thing from happening. But
little by little that changed, as you just pointed out,
And it was really back in two thousand and six
that I think a lot of American liberal media outlets
(26:25):
open their eyes to the fact that, oh, this is
foreign ownership of US sports is bad, but we're letting
it happen and we did nothing about it. Now, that
was back during George W. Bush, You've said a lot there,
and before we run out of time, I think we
got to talk about the whole reason I booked you
on the radio show today. It's just that there's so
much happened in the news. I really wanted to hear
Owen's take on it. I remember the first time I
(26:46):
learned about info wars, I like a lot of people,
I probably rolled my eyes as like, wow, this is
this is pretty intense, this is pretty extreme. These guys
make some good points, they also make some crazy points.
And then I think right around twenty eighteen, a lot
of conservatives opened up to the fact, I mean six
years ago we figured out when they deplatformed Alex Jones
they were coming for the rest of us. There were
(27:08):
some conservatives that didn't think so, there were some Republicans
and some right leaning libertarian thought leaders that didn't think
they'd go, and then they did. And now people realize
it's not a joke. So now when something happens to
Alex Jones or info Wars or anybody on your team,
I am very cognizant of the fact that we could
all be next what they did to you guys, because
they think they think Alex Jones had a wrong opinion
(27:29):
about something that it's my understanding he didn't even spend
much time talking about. And now that what they're taking
apart your assets, they're taking apart the federal government is
coming for info Wars. And the report today is that
Media Matters and some other left wing extremist groups might
be mulling the purchase of the organization that you work with.
They're talking to a Texas judge. They're trying to buy
(27:52):
what the name. I don't get it, are you guys?
I find that insane. Oh and like okay, so they'll
own the name info Wars. Fine, you guys could call
it something else. People aren't tuning in for the name.
They're tuning in for Alex. They're tuning in for Owen.
They're tuning in for Paul and everybody else on your team.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
I don't really know what the value of info Wars
is without Alex Jones, right, I mean that he is
info Wars. Now, if the strategy is to shut it down,
then ironically enough, they're going to have to pay for it.
I mean, you want to talk about irony. That's the
ultimate irony right there, is that they're going to have
(28:30):
to pay to have it shut down. And so maybe
they will. I mean, George Soros just brought bought up
two hundred radio stations, not because he wants to make
a dollar, but because he wants to control mass media.
It's likely that those radio stations have been running in
the red for some time, and so for him, it's
just all about a propaganda machine. And I suppose when
(28:51):
you have billions of dollars at your expense, really costs
like these don't matter to you. So I suppose a
group like that could come in and buy it. You know,
the whole roller coaster ride just continues at Info Wars.
I think the story is as you said it, though.
Whatever they do to Alex Jones or Info Wars or
(29:14):
Owen Schroyer, then they can do to you. And I
think that that's what the American people need to understand.
And whether you like the work that Alex has done
over the years or not, the issue is still the same,
and so I do think people are starting to understand that.
But unfortunately it's gotten to such a point now where
(29:35):
as you know, I had to spend time in prison.
We have a lot of other Americans that are now
suffering behind bars, people getting sued with the lawfare, and
so the censorship continues. Thank goodness for Elon Musk rejuvenating
some free speech to X. Otherwise a lot of these
news stories we probably wouldn't even be hearing about or
(29:56):
talking about, quite frankly, like for example, what just happened
with a chemical lab explosion in Conyer's Georgia, just south
of Atlanta. I haven't seen that on the news once,
not one time if it wasn't for X. So that's
just kind of a small example, dude, Owen. Good news
is though, as you said, Americans are waking up, and
I gotta say this. I'd be remiss if I didn't, because,
(30:18):
as you know, I spent time in the Oakdale Federal
Corrections Institution in Louisiana and this show, this show was
number one. You're number one at Oakdale FCI, and so
I gotta give a shout out. I'm sure some people.
I'm sure people are tuned in right now from the
old Oakdale Federal Corrections Institution. Who knows, maybe some prison
(30:41):
guards that know me as well. So i'd be remiss
if I didn't give a shout out to my old
mates over there in the Federal Institution.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
I love my man. It is great to hear that. Dude. Yes,
we love our inmates, and it's true.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Actually, the whole reason Owen and I became friends with
each other was because the government tried to silence them.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
It's kind of amazing how that happened.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Oh, and I got to think, no matter what happens,
you guys still have a voice, you still have an audience.
Info Wars is just a name, you know, It's it's great,
it's a cool name.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Obviously it's stuck. It seemed to have it seems to
have worked over the years.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
But that's not why people are tuning in. You know,
it's not some fashion brand. It doesn't matter what the
name of it is. I got to think, you know,
there was no Project Veritas without James O'Keefe. I don't
think there could be an Info Wars without people like
Alex and Owen. In the meantime, though, I no matter
what happens, you guys keep working, right, you guys will
just find another place to broadcast.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
Well, absolutely, And that's the beauty of the modern media
landscape with the Internet and social media. And as I said,
I mean, really I look at Rumble and X. I mean,
those are the two platforms where I'm not banned, and
so those are the two platforms where I can still
get an audience. And you know, if Info Wars does
go down, hopefully make a living. But yeah, they really
(31:54):
want to end the First Amendment, but they haven't yet.
So whatever the fate of Info Wars ultimately is I
know Alex Jones is going to continue to broadcast, continue
to do his show, whether it's under a new name,
a new company, solo. Time will tell you know right now.
For me, though I'm focused on this election, I'm going
to continue to fulfill my duties at Info Wars till
(32:14):
there are no more duties to fulfill and just stay
on this roller coaster ride until it comes to a
stop and I'm told I got to get off.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
For those of you that don't know who this is,
Owen Schreyer is definitely a name you should be keeping
up with. Follow him on social media. He's got a podcast,
they've got a radio show. They're on X Like he said,
he's on Rumble for those of you that use that.
And if you take the time to seek out good media,
like the stuff they're creating, it's there. You know the truth.
The truth exists if you're willing to go look for it.
(32:43):
Owen Schreyer, my brother, keep up the good fight.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Kamala Harris deserves to be vice president like Elvis deserved
as black belt in karate. What a hunka hunka burning
krab This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I can't believe I'm about to tell you this, but
notable French actor Juicy Smaller is back in the news. Yes,
Jesse Smaalet is back. I don't read People Magazine. I
kind of forgot it existed. But there's a report at
Breitbart dot com that breaks down what People magazine just did.
Because I guess they interviewed him. People Magazine offered convicted
(33:21):
hate hoaster Jesse Smallett an unchallenged environment to spread his
ugly and devisive hoax. Y'all remember it was January twenty ninth,
twenty nineteen. It was five years ago. Jesse Smallett claimed
he was the victim of a hate crime perpetrated by
two white guys, two in the morning and freezing downtown
(33:41):
cold Chicago. We were supposed to believe some white supremacists
were walking around and that they called him the F
word and the N word before beating him up, that
they recognized that they knew that he was a gay,
black movie star TV star actor. I guess would be
the best. Would you know who Jesse Smalltt was if
(34:02):
it wasn't for his scandal? I bet you're not a
white supremacist. I bet you're not a neo Nazi, and
I bet you probably didn't watch Empire. Empire was kind
of Look, I'm just speaking in broad generalities here. Empire
was a TV show that's very popular with black people,
and not just black people, younger hip black people, not
(34:26):
necessarily white people from the country, not necessarily white Republicans,
probably not white supremacists. I wouldn't have known who Jesse
Smalltt is. And I keep up with pop culture. I'm
a news junkie. I read news stories about people I
don't even care about it. Read the news all day long.
It's my job is somebody who comments on the news
(34:48):
and shares information with hopefully a curious audience, to give
you guys the best information possible. So I read and
consume a lot of news that I don't actually care
about in order to figure out if it's relevant or not.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Usually it's not.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
And if I read a story about Jesse Smollett and
he wasn't involved in that scandal, I think I would
have forgot about it about five seconds later. So why
would two white supremacists walking around in downtown Chicago at
two am during a polar vortex a polar vortex means
it's negative thirty degrees out. It means the cold winter
air of the North Pole has made its way down
(35:25):
through Lake Michigan into the downtown area of Chicago. It's
a word, it's a term that meteorologists and weather experts
used to describe that phenomenon. Monomena, monomena, bob ba baa,
you get the point. And then he claimed he was
beaten by them. They looped a noose around his neck
and poured bleach on him, bleach, all while he was
(35:47):
out getting a subway sandwich. This story didn't make any sense.
Oh and then they shouted, this is Maga country. How
lucky were these guys to be so prepared for a
Haye crime at two am and icy cold Chicago that
they stumbled across a gay Hollywood actor. What, of course,
it was a hoax, police say Jesse. He invented the
(36:10):
whole thing for attention and to get a bump in
his empire salary.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Instead, he got fired.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
He got ultimately convicted of five counts of felony disorderly conduct.
This came with a one hundred and thirty thousand dollars fine,
a one hundred and fifty day jail sentence. He served
only six days by the way, he was released early.
If his conviction is not overturned, Smollett may have to
(36:36):
finish the other one hundred and forty four days, which
this entitled spoiled Bratt deserves. In my opinion, the guy's
forty two years old. He's my age, and instead of
admitting he did something stupid, instead of admitting he regrets it,
instead of admitting he'll serve his time or take the punishment,
he continues to this very day to stand by and
be defined by a reprehensible lie. Listen to this quote
(36:59):
from people Maga quote. Despite the narrative Chussy says, so
many have assumed, he maintains his innocence to this day.
He says, quote, I was numb. I didn't know how
to connect the dots. I really genuinely did not know.
I couldn't make sense of what was going on, and
I couldn't make sense of what people were actually thinking.
(37:20):
What exactly do they think happened? I couldn't put two
and two together. Guys, there's no journalism going on here.
Why not ask him why his two black friends claim
that he paid them to beat them up, that he
paid them to beat him up while pretending to be
Trump supporters challenge him a little bit. Instead, he's allowed
(37:42):
to pose as a victim. Listen to this next quote quote.
I have more adult, grown up way of thinking about
it now. But at the same time, my views have
not changed, my heart has not shifted. I'm the same
man that I was and will always be. If tons
of people are listening to you, you should say something
worth them hearing. Kind of seems like Jesse's found a
(38:06):
second career producing and directing TV movies about gay men
for beet. That's fine. Look, I don't deny him the
right to make a living. We all deserve a second chance.
But this guy does not deserve forgiveness, nor should he
be allowed to move on until he admits what he
did was a lie, and maybe then people will forgive him.
(38:29):
The egomaniac is not contrite. He's still spreading a toxic lie.
It's a disgrace. Living a lie is exhausting. Most of
us figure that out. As a kid. Did you eat
the cookie? Why weren't you in class today? Sally says
you punched her on the playground. You know, kids stuff.
(38:51):
Fess up, get behind you, admit what you did wrong.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Life is simpler that way. I'm Kenny Webster. I'm grateful
to have you all listening today.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
I'll be back tomorrow for more of what you bought
a radio for. I love you all.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Don't forget if you want to purchase tickets to our
upcoming comedy show, Operation Comedy Therapy is back. We got
a whole bunch of conservative, right leaning thinkers that are
going to be doing stand up comedy at Bad Astronaut Brewery.
That's Sunday, November tenth. It's Sunday, it's an early show.
It's at five pm. I think, so even if you
do have to work on Monday, we won't have you
(39:26):
up late. We'll drink some beers, we'll listen to some
good jokes. And if I'm not mistaken, the next day
