Jigana government sucks. The pseude of Happiness Radio is delups

Happiness us on your radio to hel justice, cheeseburgers, libries
at food.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Today is National Vodka Day, or if you've been watching
the election news, National Vodka Year. Hi, I'm Kenny Webster.
It's Friday. We're gonna do your weekend review with Michael
quinn Sullivan of Texas scorecard dot Com. We're going down
to the border with Brandon Darby and stand up comedian
Tim Mathis will be here with all the latest news
from hollywoods to stick around for that. Let's start off

(00:42):
with this though, if y'all don't mind, Brekbart dot com
today reporting on what should have been a big news story.
If it had been a news story about a Republican
it would have been huge. It's kind of weird. I'll
tell you what the news story is in a second.
But isn't it interesting with all the stuff going on
right now, how news stories that would normally be a
big deal aren't getting a lot of a time. Malania Trump,
for example, came out this week as pro choice. I

(01:04):
don't know why the Trump campaign suddenly thought they needed
to encourage people to have a conversation about abortion. I
think that was a mistake. Liberals want this campaign. They
want this election to be about abortion. We want this
election to be about crime and immigration and inflation and
the economy and the war and all the other problems

(01:27):
that matter. They just want to talk about abortion. So
Malania Trump writes some new book about how she's pro choice,
and you know what, good, I'm glad we're not talking
about that. I'll quickly move past it. Here's another thing, though,
that should have been a big news story this week,
and amazingly wasn't. To no one's surprise, the corporate media
are engaged in a full on propaganda campaign to bury

(01:49):
the credible bombshell news that Kamalie Harris's husband, Doug em Hoff,
supposedly battered a former girlfriend. He got drunk, he beat
her up. Apparently he even forced her to get an abortion.
On Wednesday, a report was published by The Daily Mail
detailing a story that included statements from three friends of
the alleged victim. They also had travel documents and photos

(02:11):
to back up the claim. Looks like it's a real story.
The claim was this back in twenty twelve, while attending
the Canes Film Festival Cann's Film Festival and I've Never Gone,
Doug am Hoff slapped his girlfriend so hard that it
basically knocked her over. She spun completely around and two
of the victims friends. Two of the alleged victim's friends
say they were told of the abuse at the time,

(02:33):
the third learned about it some time later. And as
of now, and for the reasons we can all understand,
the identity of the victim and her three friends are
kind of being hidden. But this is political dynamite. It
would hurt the Democrat nominee for president just weeks before
the election. Were these people to come forward, the corporate
media would put all their resources into annihilating their lives

(02:56):
and reputations. Democrats are always protected by the media at
all costs, But as of now, the fake media are
not only ignoring the credible allegation of physical abuse committed
by a man who could become America's first historic first gentleman,
the media are now going even further to bury the

(03:16):
story by producing one puff piece after another to make
him look like some kind of folk hero. The New
Yorker has the following headline. Here, Doug Emhoff takes his
gen X energy on the road. Em Hoff seems suited
for the moment, in contrast to the various what is
this septagenarians on the national stage who talks like this?

(03:39):
That's how they talk. In the article, it says he's
a youthful, keenly focused guy who's awesome. Kiss my ass.
Here's another one. The Entertainment Weekly publishes an article about him. Headline,
Doug Emhoff reacts to Andy Samberg playing him on SNL.
I approve during a visit to The Jennifer Hudson Show
on Sunday. The Second Gentleman reacted to Andy Samberg and

(04:03):
Maya Rudolph doing a parody of them on Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Loved it. Oh good, I'm glad he liked it. USA
Today headline.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Second Gentleman Doug m Hoff post video at Texas Waterburger
with Beto O'Rourke, kiss my anus. That's a story he
went to got a burger. Nobody gives a crap. And
here's the shameless MSNBC gushing over Doug m Hoff and
how he reshaped the perception of masculinity. Just disgusting. Honestly,

(04:36):
where's mister white knight himself? Jake Tapper, the basement rated
CNN anchor, usually loves to jump on a white steed
to defend the ladies.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
You got a guy here actually slapped.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
A woman, and MSNBC's talking about how he's redefining masculinity.
Why isn't Jake Tapper speaking up about this?

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Maybe Tapper cares more about his status and political agenda
than he does about morality in women.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
I don't know anyway. As I always say, Democrats sure
have it good, don't they.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Kenny Webster the best looking dude on radio, and if
you've seen the competition, that's not saying a whole hell
of a lot.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, we knew the October surprises would hit with a bang,
and they certainly did. It was one of the wildest
news weeks in months that I could think of War Overseas,
World War III. Really, so many October surprises. People didn't
even care about some of them. Milania Trump came out

(05:31):
as pro choice this week. Didn't you not even a bit,
not even a blip on the news radar. You'd have
thought that had been a pretty big news story. Now
people don't really care. I mean, how could you care
about that when you got this presidential election happening. The
port workers strike just ended, Thank God for that. The
situation in the Mid East has never been worse, and

(05:52):
a lot happening right here in our own backyard. Joscelyn
Nungriy turns out the search warrant reveals the guys that
he raped her, tortured her looks like they were part
of a terrorist organization called trend A Arragua. I want
to talk about all that with our next guest, a
person I considered to be one of the smartest people
in Texas politics, certainly Texas political media, and I'd love

(06:13):
to get his insight on this. The port workers strike
is over now. The longshorm and strike didn't last very long.
Thank God, didn't stop people from running out to the
grocery stores and buying up all the toilet paper, which
is funny because, I mean, for a few reasons. Number one,
y'all understand, toilet paper is one of the things we
definitely produce domestically here in the United States. If you're
using toilet paper, it probably was manufactured in the United States,

(06:37):
if not Canada or Mexico. We don't ship it in
from overseas, there wouldn't be a point even Still, isn't
it weird that the first thing people think about when
there's an economic crisis is well, for lack of a
better term, their bunghole, Like, really, that's what we're worried about.
Michael Quinnsullivan of Texas scorecard dot com, what do you
think of this? Why did it end so quickly?

Speaker 6 (06:58):
You got to make sure you have your triple ply
you know, uh, comfort comfort paper area. It's very important. Ye,
I'm absolutely convinced. I don't have any special insight, but
I'm absolutely convinced that that the the that the strike
ended as quickly as it did, it only sort of it.

(07:19):
They suspended the strike, go back to integrations and that
kind of thing, and that is significant because you know what,
it gets us passed, the election, passed a lot of
things going on. More importantly, though, I think that the
that the that both sides, both the both the Shipping
Alliance and the long Shoreman both started looking at polling

(07:39):
data because this I have seen showing that people that
both sides were being you know, seeing seeing their popularity drop.
And that makes sense here you've got you know, ongoing
war in Eastern Europe. You've got you know, a war
about to break out really hot in the Middle East.
You've had hundreds of people killed in a major storm

(08:00):
that's taken out you know, millions, if not billions of
dollars worth of infrastructure, Folks trying to build out, homes, lost, businesses,
lost cars lost, and here the longshore and striking to
get you know, a seventy seven percent pay raise, and
the you know, in the shipping industry not wanting to,

(08:21):
you know, to to have any sort of meaningful dial
I mean, all that looked bad. No matter your perspective,
it looked bad. And oh, by the way, it was
probably going to really hurt the Democrats, you so, so
they kind of I think I think someone both sides
must have realized, maybe we should do that in January.
Yeah then we can fight then less. Yeah then you

(08:43):
can blame plump whoever. But but you know, the most dignifant,
of course, being what happened in the southeast, where where
all those people so horribly impacted by the storm. That's
just a really bad look because most of the building
materials they would need, most of you know, the things
the things that we beside toilet paper that is shipped in.

(09:05):
You know, that's right there for those folks, and I
think that was I think that played real heavy into
those plans.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think you explained it perfectly. You and I have
talked about this before, related to other news stories. But
it's always interesting to me how political controversy, how hot
button issues, brings together strange groups of people.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I was at the port workers strike this week.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I went down there and interviewed people, posted some videos online,
some interesting, some tongue in cheek whatever.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
I saw some good people out there.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I saw Trump supporters, white guys, black guys, Hispanic guys,
blue collar workers, most of them nice people. Among the
group of people that I saw out there, I saw
white liberal hippies walking around playing guitar, wearing communist T shirts.
I know they're not union workers. I know they're not
port workers and didn't look like listening to Woody Guthrie
eating vegan you know, protein bars.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
You know.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I saw black guys with gold chains that I walked
up to. Hey, well, how much does that chain cost?
I can't talk about it. Man, Isn't that a weird
thing to wear to a protest, a gangster rap medallion
around your neck while you're complaining that you don't get
paid enough. And then apparently the whole thing was organized
by this guy who is connected to what is it,
the Geneeest crime family, Harold Daggett is that his name?

(10:14):
The from the Upper East Coast there apparently a mob boss.
And then I'll leave you with this to react to,
Michael Hammas scarves. I'm walking around at the union protest.
There are people walking around with Hamas scarves. Now, what
the hell did Palestinian terrorists have to do with a
bunch of dock workers in Texas.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
Look, it's the politics intersectionality. And you know, so anytime
there's a greed group somewhere, all greed groups, you know,
show up, and it is kind of fun to watch
it happening. At first, it was kind of strange and annoying.
Now it's become a lot of fun when you start seeing,
you know, the the Hamas sympathizers showing up at the

(10:56):
lgbtq rallies, and you know what, one side doesn't get
what's going on. They're just there for the protests, they're
there for the disruption because at the end of the day.
If a long shortman were to show up in in
in Gaza, you know, swigging his his his beer and
you know, with his tattooed wife on his arm, you

(11:17):
know they're both stoned if that. Yeah, you know, the
the the flamboyant trans dancer, you know, showing up with
his beard and wearing a tutu will be thrown off
of a building right in Gaza. So you know, the
politics of intersectionality is really fun to watch. We used
to say politics makes strange bedfellows, but now it's you know,

(11:42):
it's intersectionality demonstrates just the vacuousness of the left that
they're all they care about is agrievement. All they care
about is disruption. All they care about is making life
bad for everyone else.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, we used to say politics makes strange better fellows,
but now liberals have sex and public at pride parades,
so that analogy doesn't even make sense anymore.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
All right, let's more beds.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, there's no more beds, just doing it upright in person,
in public. All right, let's talk about public school and
school choice. A couple of news stories today you guys
are reporting on that I cannot stress enough people need
to get to texascorecard dot com. Look at these stories,
share them with your friends. If you're an advocate for
school choice, Grand Prairie. I want to talk about but
let's start in fort Worth. The Fort Worth superintendent Fort

(12:29):
Worth ISD is stepping down. She is going to get
nine hundred and forty thousand dollars to not do her job.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
I don't understand this.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Why is she leaving her job and why are we
giving her so much money?

Speaker 6 (12:42):
Look the site. Angelica Ramsey has been the Fort Worth ISD.
Superintendent for a year. During her tenure, you had parents
and teachers complaining about the toxic environment she was creating
in Fort Worth. You know, very upset with everything she
was doing there. Uh so she resigned.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
What was she what was she doing? What was so toxic?

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Uh? It kind of depends on who you talk to.
The teacher said that she was not now she was
shutting off a dialogue and debate, that she was shutting
off ideas, you know, those kind of things. Parents were
upset because you know, she wasn't being forthcoming about, uh,
you know, about how the district was performing. She wasn't

(13:27):
being forthcoming about it. You know, kind of you know,
the the educational aspects of being the superintendent. So uh
so she put in her resignation under fire. She put
in a resignation two weeks ago. Well this week, we've
now learned that she's going to get paid nearly a
million dollars to go away, and no one's really, no
one's explaining how this worked. How was it that she's
resigning from her job, getting a million dollars functionally a

(13:51):
million dollars for not working a job she's only had
for a year and apparently didn't do that good at
a job in it. You know, all these cats who
tell me that, oh, we can't have school choice because
it takes money from from the classroom, will explain this
to me. Explain how these golden parachutes for all of
these you know, crappy administrators, How that's not taking money,

(14:13):
that's taking even more money out of the classroom. At
least with school choice, some kids getting educated Somewhere, No
kid is being educated with the million dollars going to
the superintendent. Quite frankly, we should probably start you know,
paying you know, pay superintendents the same thing you pay
your you know, your high school football coach, and keep

(14:34):
it under one hundred thousand dollars. This is insane the
amount of money that we're paying administrators in public education.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
It is absolute robbery. And of course it's the kids
and the parents that get screwed. It's always the taxpayers.
All right, let's go to Grand Prairie ISD. Another controversy
here the district's investigation into superintendent is this Jorge Aaron
Dondo revealed violations of a policy prohibiting retaliation against district employees.
What does this mean? Why is he returning to work?

(15:01):
What the heck happened there?

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:03):
Okay, so look, this guy is very interesting. He may
end up feeling down having the when it's all said
and done, he may be the shortest lived superintendent in
Texas history. He was fired on I mean, he's hired
on July first, he was then put on the administrative
leave on September fourth, and they're still trying to figure
out what to do with the guy his you know,

(15:25):
I mean just I mean, how he made that many
enemies act quickly is kind of the fuddling. What sources
in the district say is that apparently he had some
grievances with people who used to be coworkers who are
now employees, and he was using his power to make
their lives miserable. Now, the good news is, I think

(15:46):
Grand Prairie ISD did a better job of setting their
contract with their superintendent than the other school district. So
if they can't actually if they choose to fire him
and and he wouldn't get anything out of it other
than he has already been paid. So that's you know,
some school districts are trying to in the excesses of

(16:07):
the administrative state that they've allowed to grow a bit far.
Too many of them are more like Fort Worth than
they are Long Grand Prairie.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Michael, you guys do amazing work.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Frankly, it's kind of intimidating how good you guys are
at Texas scorecard dot com. When you guys wake up
in the morning, what do you have for breakfast? A
bowl of excellence?

Speaker 6 (16:28):
A bowl of excellence and a shot of strong coffee.
That's where we start every day.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Man, My brother dude, Michael Quinnsullivan texascrecard dot com. If
you enjoy listening to Michael or Brandon or anybody from
his team. It's mostly Michael and Brandon, but I've talked
to other people from their crew before.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
On this radio show, and they do amazing reporting.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Texas Scorecard dot com is the best spot for you
to go today and get conservative news. They will send
you an email every morning, short, concise, simple and sweet.
They never share your data. They never sell it or
trade it to politicians. They're really cool about that. That's
why I'm a big fan of Texas Scorecard. You should
be too, subscribed to their email list and follow them
on social media.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
You've got Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine p. Fifty.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
All right, Miriam Webster's Dictionary. You know that a lot
of people think that's my dictionary. It turns out I
don't actually get any of the money from the dictionary.
But they just added two hundred new words to make space.
They got rid of words nobody uses anymore. You know,
words like dictionary.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Sounds like from Texas Justice to me, Lockett one now
live from the Border.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
It's Bright Bart's Brandon Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only
on KPRC radio.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
All right, he is the Derby who would be Brandon?

Speaker 7 (17:45):
He is?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Honestly, We've always been honored to Brandon as a regular
contributor to this show. He's been reporting on issues at
the border since before all the other conservative news outlets.
Bright Bart Texas was there first. They were covering this
stuff over a decade ago. We've been doing this little
song and dance on the radio. Two things that Brandon
was talking about before anybody Trendy Arragua. That's the street

(18:10):
gang responsible for murdering, raping, torturing and tying up young
Joscelyn Hungary, the twelve year old girl here in Houston,
now designated.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
As a terrorist organization.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Brandon and his team were telling us about trend A
Arragua before anyone. Another thing Brandon was talking about before
anyone was the TSA is actually allowing migrants to fly
without an idea around the country. He reported on that
on this radio show fourteen years ago. The TASA, the
TSA said he was lying. Now it turns out federal

(18:43):
agencies have just released a report about non citizens without
IDs flying around the country. Brandon, you were right again.
The government said you were lying. You weren't. Are there
PolitiFact reports out there that that fact check you on stuff.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
That you were later on revealed to be right about.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
No, so what happened. It was ten years ago. It
was twenty fourteen, during the Obama administration, and we reported
that people who were in the country illegally, possibly illegally migrants,
were being allowed to fly without photo identification or proper documentation.
When we wrote that report, the TSA publicly used Twitter

(19:24):
at the time to call us out. They gave comments
attacking us, saying that we were our report was erroneous
and fake news. And then a representative of Texas House Rep.
Michael McCall sent a letter to them asking them to clarify,
and they said they had not acknowledged that they were,

(19:46):
but that they were doing everything they could to keep
Americans safe, even though it wasn't an ideal situation. And then,
you know, I think Fox ran with it and then
acted like it was their report. But that's how news
media works. But the bottom line was is that we
reported it ten years ago, and that behavior has actually
gone on it reduced during the Trump administration. I don't

(20:10):
have any instances of it in the Trump administration. That
could be because sources just didn't communicate that, or it
could be the most likely scenario, which is that it
didn't occur but I don't know that for a fact,
but I do know that it has occurred now, and
I know that it began to occur during the Obama
administration in about twenty fourteen, during that crisis, that family

(20:31):
crisis that was occurring.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Wow, just awful. What happened to Joscelyn Nungary. And she's
not the only one. That little girl from right here
in Houston, Texas murdered under a bridge, twelve year old girl.
I've got a handful of other ones here on a
list in front of me. Maria Gonzalez, age eleven, Pasadena, Texas,
also murdered by a criminal migrant. I'll just call them
criminals because I know you and I talk about are

(20:55):
are they quote unquote illegal if they were let into
the country, Well, there's certainly illegal if they murdered people.
Elizabeth Medina, aged sixteen, of Edna, Texas, also murdered by
another one of these criminal migrants, Brandon Boy. I really
hope this has more of an influence on the election
in November than abortion was.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
What do you think is going to happen?

Speaker 4 (21:15):
I don't think it really will. I think it will
for a few people, but I think you know, people
are fairly internessed. I always tell people, you know, as
a Bridpbart editor, I say, if you want to know
what's going on in the world, you definitely need to
read Breipbart. You definitely need to check out other conservative media,
but you also need to spend time reading left of

(21:36):
center news. You also need to spend time reading what
people who disagree with you say so you can get
a complete picture of what's occurring. Unfortunately, we're in a
place where, you know, most people who read Breidbart and
and most people who watch CNN, that's what they do,
right They watch CNN, they read the Huffington Post, and

(21:58):
they read pro Public or something by the Washington Posts
or the New York Times. And the people who read
brief Art tend to watch Fox read brickpart.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
So everyone is.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Very entrenched, and most people only like to pay attention
to the news that is given to people they agree with.
So what happens is liberals, who you know, half the
country who who watch left of center news very rarely
get any information put into their head about the number

(22:29):
about angel families, about the fact that there are so
many Americans. And again not to say that the vast
majority of people who come here illegally or illicitly, are
our criminals are outside of coming here. I'm not claiming that,
But what I'm claiming is that even if only five
percent of the people who cross our border are criminals,

(22:53):
we still have hundreds of thousands of new criminals who
would not otherwise be here. And the fact of the
matter is, if we enforced border laws, if we did
not release people into the US, if we did not
allow people, if we had it better secured and people
who were deported were not able to just sneak back
in easily, then a lot of those angel families, loved

(23:18):
ones would not have been murdered. And you know, for
whatever reason, the people who talk about this generally claim that,
you know, the pro border security people claim that all
of them are killers and or act like all of
them are killers. And the people who are for open borders,
even though they don't say it that way, the people
who are for just allowing anyone to show up and

(23:39):
decriminalizing it, which is in fact what they've done for
the most part, those people tend to act like everyone
who shows up is going to be a valedictorian and
a PhD candidate, Right, So, The reality is is the
majority and not, but there's still a whole bunch of
them who are bad. And that whole bunch of them

(23:59):
who are bad, everything they do is something that could
have been prevented if we simply enforced our laws.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Our buddy, Senator Ted Cruz introduced the Justice for Joscelyn
Act in the Senate back in July. Joscelyn Nungary's family
actually helped write this bill.

Speaker 8 (24:14):
As you know, every week we are seeing somebody else killed,
another child raped from illegal immigrants crossing the border. In
my hometown of Houston, Joscelyn Nungar, a twelve year old
girl horribly assaulted.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
The bill apparently will ensure that illegal aliens cannot be
released into the country if detention beds are available. I'm
surprised we even need a law like this, Brandon, and
I'm surprised it isn't easily being passed right now, especially
a month out from the election. You would think Democrats,
who are all pretending to care about border security, would
get behind this. Do you think this bill has any

(24:50):
chance of getting passed anytime soon? And why is it
so important to have a bill that would ensure that
criminal illegals cannot be released into the country if detention
beds are availab.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Well, okay, let's just a real quick rundown of what's
happened here. Sure, after nine to eleven, we began to
enforce more security at our border, not secured the border
under the Bush administration. And what would happen is people
who came here, like anyone who commits a crime, they
got put in custody. And they were keeping families together,

(25:26):
so they if a mother showed up with two kids,
then the mother and the two kids went to a facility.
There was a lot of protests around that. Like in Huddo,
Texas and other places, there were a lot of protests
around it. There was a major political movement and the
Democrats said, you cannot incarcerate families. So when the Democrat
said you cannot incarcerate families, then and under the Obama administration,

(25:51):
people realized that families would not be incarcerated, so they
began to show up with kids. The Obama administration released them.
Under the Trump administration, they said, wait a minute, we're
not doing this. If just like for anybody, any American,
if you get a DUI or if you do anything
wrong and your kids in the car, you're going to
get separated. You're going to go to custody, and your
kid is going to go somewhere else. That is true

(26:13):
for anyone who goes into police custody, any American. Well
Trump said, okay, so if you're from south of our
border and you show up and you get arrested, then
you're with a kid in your possession, you're also going
to get separated. And then the Democrats protested family separations, right,
so they're saying, like, basically, look at the result of

(26:35):
their policy. If they refuse to allow you to take
a parent and their children in the custody together and
keep them together, they refuse. They also refuse you to
separate a parent. What that means is the facto is
that anyone who shows up with a child cannot be
held in custody. If you can't separate them and you

(26:55):
can't put them in custody together, good to to do?
What is two plus two? And so that is what
Democrats have done. So even if ted Cruz's bill were
to pass, and as long as there are beds available, right,
what the Democrats would do is just reduce the number
of beds. That's what they would do. Because the fact
of the matter is is they want to see. If

(27:18):
you look at what Kamala Harris and what Biden and
all of the other Democrats when they were competing against
each other for the nomination to be the candidate in
twenty twenty, what did they say. They said, we are
going to decriminalize illegal entries. We are going to provide

(27:38):
health care for everyone who shows up. That's what they said.
That's what they said out of their own mounts, and
that is in fact what they're doing.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Now.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
It's election season, so they can't say it because they're
in a general election, so they're not going to say it.
But if you just go back and look at what
they previously said, and then you look at what is
the obvious outcome of their policies, it is very clear
that they want the border open, and they want every
every future Democrat right who's coming across all those millions

(28:08):
of people right in the last four years, the roughly
twelve million people. They want those people to be able
to come here and ultimately to vote for them, and
they will turn the tide electorally. That's what is occurring.
Do I think the average liberal thinks that way. No,
I think they think they're again they're during an echo chamber,

(28:30):
and they think that they're being compassionate and nice, and
so that's what they care about. But the leadership of
the Democratic Party, the people in charge, absolutely look at
their own words and look at the even you know,
look at the results of their actions.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
Right.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
So if you went outside and you started painting the
house white, and I said you want the house to
be white, you said, no, I don't. I'm like, yeah,
but you're using white paint. Obviously the house is going
to be white.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
You know that. It's that simple, And so that's what's occurring.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
My friend brand A Breitbart Texas.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Follow him on social media, check out his work at
Breitbart dot com.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
You're listening to Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness. Please, if
you're offended by anything you heard to get a piece
of paper, write down a detailed description of what bothered you,
and facts it to one eight eight eight.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Nobody gives a.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Before we get out of here this afternoon, a little
news from Hollywood, y'all, Like Dakota Johnson fifty Shades of Gray.
It's her thirty fifth birthday today, So happy birthday to
Dakota Johnson. She became famous for getting whipped, you know,
kind of like Travis kelcey.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what?

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yes, Hollywood a place where rich, beautiful people will sexually
assault each other and do drugs and for some reason
we're supposed to want to know who they're going to
vote for. That's important. It's important for you to know
that Bruce Springsteen isn't in Kamala Harris as if, as
if you expected him to endorse Trump. I think everybody
knew that was coming. You know what else is interesting

(30:06):
to me? Though I enjoyed the last Batman movie. In fact,
I think a lot of young, angry, disenfranchised right wingers
to start to describe some of the younger male listeners
that listen to this audience, that Joker movie was very
popular with all of them. And so now the new
Joker film is out today. So when I first heard

(30:28):
about this, I thought, all right, I bet our audience
I'll like at Joaquin Phoenix is involved. Lady Gaga? Why
did they get Lady Gaga? I am being told it
might not be as good as we hoped. Here with
the latest on that stand up comedian. He's from Texas,
but he currently lives in Hollywood, where he's a comedy writer.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Tim, what have you heard about this movie?

Speaker 7 (30:49):
I heard to avoid it like the plague. Really Yeah,
So the movie is by a guy named Todd Phillips
who also did the Hangover film and Number one. I
don't think they ever meant to make a sequel to
the original Joker. It was supposed to be a one off,
but it made a billion dollars, so the studio said,

(31:09):
you got to make a sequel.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait a billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Do you remember what a big deal they made about
the Barbie movie making a billion dollars, but the first
Joker movie made a billion dollars.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
I never heard anybody talk about that.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
Well, the reason you didn't hear about it it also
remember that they tried to act like the movie was
going to cause mass rioting and I guess hate crimes.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Oh like that because the right wingers who enjoyed.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
It exactly and nothing like that ever happened, obviously, But
what did happen is the wrong audience wanted to see
the movie. The wrong audience supported the movie, and that's
one thing that Hollywood just can't have. So when they
went when.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
They meant, wait, really, they're mad that the first film
did well with the wrong kind of audience.

Speaker 7 (32:01):
Really, they are, all right, so what are they.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Going to do about it? But they did a.

Speaker 7 (32:05):
Sequel, and what they did in the sequel is they
addressed it allegedly. I mean, you know, they they addressed
the fact that, oh, this is the wrong thing to
want to see, This is the wrong thing to want
to support a disenfranchised individual, that yeah, the Joker is
not a hero, but the whole.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Way, he's the anti hero, right, isn't that the whole point?

Speaker 7 (32:30):
Well, yeah, sort of in the first movie. Yeah, but
of course they had to downplay that, and they had
to essentially jettison the Joker by the end of the movie.
From when I hear, wow.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Really so they made up for the fact they tried
to explain away, but he's still the same character.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
I don't understand how they could.

Speaker 7 (32:52):
Just from from what I hear and know, he is
not huh. So they've made him a completely Yeah, they
capletely neuter and and and change the character of the actual.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Uh wait wait, wait, wait wait they made him woke?
Are you are you serious?

Speaker 1 (33:09):
No?

Speaker 6 (33:10):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
I wouldn't say whoa, but they made him weak.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Okay, and uh, I don't.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
Want to go into the spoilers or anything.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
It's okay, yeah, we're not gonna watch it anyway. It
sounds like garbage, all right, before we run out of
time here. Amazon confirmed earlier this week they're removing a memoir.
Amazon is going to get rid of a movie that
model Kim Porter made about her longtime partner, hip hop
mogul Sean Ditty Combs. Apparently, her kids came out and
said that the movie that she made about Sean about

(33:41):
puff Daddy, that it's not real so Amazon, that it's
all filled with fake information. So Amazon's move removing it
from their streaming service kind of make kind of makes
you wonder what was in it that was selling inaccurate. Meantime,
you know, Sean Diddy Comb's all over the news this
week because he's the black Jeffrey Epstein Denzel Washington, according
to a report, once left a p didty party enraged

(34:03):
and told another actor, Brandon T. Jackson, to leave before
the devil gets there. People are casting doubt on this report.
I think it's real.

Speaker 7 (34:13):
Oh, it's it's very in character number one for Denzel.
Denzel is kind of an older generation obviously Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Covative by black Hollywood standards.

Speaker 9 (34:28):
He's very conservative, well at minimum traditional values, you know,
and the Hollywood parties in general have a very bad reputations.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
There's an old story about by the bodyguard of Flip
Wilson in the seventies and asked Flip White doesn't go
to the parties, and Flip said, oh, you want to
see the stuff, and and he took him out on
the parties and the guy said, at the end of
the weekend, Flip said, yeah, that's why I don't go out.
Huh there. Yeah, it's debauchery to a level that I

(35:04):
don't think people understand because you can't even comprehend some
of the stuff that some of these people are doing.
I mean, not all people out here and in entertainment,
obviously not my bill. But I do believe this story
because that is on brand. By the way, I actually
know Brandon T. Jackson and I hope he left the party.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Well I hope so too, all right.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I know Tony Busby Tony Busby is the lawyer now
that's handling the case for over one hundred and twenty accusers,
and it supposedly involves a nine year old boy.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Pretty disgusting stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
If true, I hope Diddy goes to prison for the
rest of his life. In the meantime, Garth Brooks is
now being accused of rape. The country music singer has
a lawsuit pending against him. He claims it's all fake.
He says he's being extorted. So Garth Brooks is being
accused of rape. He's now being referred to as Nashville's
p Ditty, who is now being referred to as the

(35:59):
Black Jeffrey Eppstein, who is now being referred to as
the Virgin Islands. Harvey Weinstein, who is now being referred
to as Jewish Bill Cosby. Who is next him?

Speaker 7 (36:09):
A man, I'm unsure who is next. But do you
notice how when it comes to the entertainment side of
these blackmail rings, these child you know, blinking rings, they
sure are going hard in the paint against the entertainment side.
But when it was the political side, when it was
the folks that were on Epstein's Island, well you didn't

(36:33):
hear much about that lift, did you that came and
went like a fart in the wind? So, I don't know.
It's really weird how they focus on one side of this,
but they kind of let the other side walk. And
you talked about Diddy being in jail for the rest
of his life. I think he will be. The only
question is how long will that life be?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, it's a great question. Will you kill himself in prison?
Will somebody murder him? His roommate is Sam Bankman Friedman,
Sam Bankman Freed or whatever the ftx crypto bro. I
can't believe they're sharing a gel sale together. And I
hate to point it out, but Sam Bankman Freed is
probably P Diddy's girlfriend now. But anyway, before we run
out of time here, let's talk about Disney for a second.

(37:13):
A lot going on with them. Disney shares have been
downgraded as the theme park's facing more trouble. Woke streaming
series are flopping, Nobody likes Agatha all along, nobody's subscribing
to Disney. Plus, Disney has just waid off seventy five
ABC News staffers. A blood bath at ABC and Disney,
same company obviously.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Meanwhile, Rachel Zegler.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
She's the one who's supposed to be playing snow White,
snow woke, they're calling her. They had to remake the
whole movie after she made a bunch of comments.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
We played the audio before.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I'm not gonna play it again about how she said
the original snow White sucked, it was weird, it wasn't
very good.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
So they're gonna fix it.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
And then that seemed to upset fans because they cast
people to play the dwarves that were not even dwarves
or midgets or what have you. So they redid the
whole film. Now she said, is her original infamous woke
snow White comments were misinterpreted. They've spent hundreds of millions
of dollars remaking the movie. This is gonna flop, right,
I mean this, They might as well just flush this
down the toilet.

Speaker 7 (38:13):
I mean, it was gonna flop at the beginning. You
cast a Latina girl to play snow White. That's like
casting my bald self play Sampson. This does not make sense.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Well why not, Tim, why not? Why don't they do that?

Speaker 2 (38:28):
They make they they need black girls to play this,
and they need fat girls to play that. It's like Okay, fine,
how about a chubby, bald guy that plays the handsome
lead role in a classics fairy tale?

Speaker 7 (38:39):
Why not that, Tim, because it's just not it's not
in the cards. It's not it's not in the uh
the outcome they want. It's not part of the diversity coalition.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
The biggest another problem with that movie is was the
whole Peter Dinglish thing. You know, he came out and said, oh,
you can't have dwarves and snow white and the Seven
Doors or because I guess he wants the only dwarf
roles in Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
He got famous. What a hypocrite. That's how his whole
career started. He played the dwarf in what movie?

Speaker 7 (39:08):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (39:09):
The Elf? Yeah? That too, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, he was
a bunch of bs.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
Dude, it's ridiculous. But that's that's where they're going today
with this stuff. And the only uh silver lining is
that so many people are calling them out on it.
So that's that's the night.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, hey, uh, a little inside baseball stuff. Can I
talk about your problem or no?

Speaker 6 (39:37):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (39:37):
Yeah, if you want. I mean it's it's not a
big deal, but yeah, sure you.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Got hit by a car. Are you on pain pals?
What's going on?

Speaker 7 (39:44):
Dude? Well, I was already on pain pills for a
different thing. I have a herniated disk in my neck.
In fact, they got a I got an MRI I
on Sunday to make sure they didn't mess that up
anymore than it already was. But uh, yeah, it was weird.
Man got hit by a car out here, La and
California in general. So in Texas, our feeder roads to

(40:05):
our highways go parallel to the highway, but out here
they just crash right into the street, like you exit
the highway perpendicular to a street. So I was crossing
one of those dubious intersections and I was in the
crosswalk and some guy clipped me on my knee, and
you know, I fell down and whatnot. So we'll see

(40:27):
how it goes. It was a government vehicle, so I
had the lawyer up. I don't know how to even
go at a government entity for stuff like that, But
we'll see how it goes. And help wise, I'm doing
pretty good. Should be off crutches here in a couple
of days. But other than that, everything's fine.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
Yeah, dude, I'm so sorry that happened.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
You I heard that your situation is in such dire
straits that to help make extra money on the side,
you've been reduced to doing stand up comedy.

Speaker 7 (40:53):
Oh yeah, In fact, we got to show tomorrow at
the Pasadena Icehouse, so I should be able to tough
it out.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Bro, are you in Houston right now? Why are you
here in studio?

Speaker 7 (41:04):
Why are you on the Pasadena, California I'm sorry, I
should be more specific.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Okay, Tim, Well, I'm sure our listeners can't go to
that because most of them are in Houston, but they
can follow Tim Mathis at Tim Mathis Comedy on Twitter
and Instagram.
