Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. Suit of habbiness radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
habines us on your radiotele, just as cheeseburgers and liberty
rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Y'all know what day it is. It's Columbus Day.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
A study by Spanish scientists claims that Christopher Columbus was Jewish.
They came to this conclusion after finding letters from his
mother filled with relentless criticism over his failure to become
a doctor. Hi, Kenny Webster here, thanks so much for
joining us. Chad Pingerton will be my special guest at
the bottom of the hour. He's a lawyer. No no,
(00:48):
don't change a channel. Don't don't. He's a he's fighting
for the law. He has some information about problems here
in the Greater Houston area you may not be aware of.
It would appear as though you're being wide I know, shocking.
We'll get to all that in a little bit. I'm
gonna tell you the story about how local elected officials
are teaming up with industrial corporations to poison you.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'll explain it soon.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
In the meantime, we start the show with this Breitbart
dot Com today reporting on Kamala Harris bungling. Kamala Harris,
she's in trouble now. She's doing interviews. Have you noticed this?
Over the weekend, Kamala Harris was she's actually talking to
the media. Now, a lot of people said, you're not
talking to the media. Why won't you talk to the media. Well,
Kamala Harris went out and talked to the media, and
(01:33):
that was when we suddenly started to realize why she
doesn't talk to the media.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Turns out she's not very good at it.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
She's doing interviews. It is just it has not gone
well for her. Kamala Harris. Here's a strange moment. Kamala
Harris actually claims it's Donald Trump, not her, who has
been hiding from people.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Here's the thing, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It makes you wonder, makes you wonder.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Why does his.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Staf want him to hide away?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
One must question?
Speaker 6 (02:11):
One must question, are they afraid that people will see
that he is too weak and unstable?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Now, if I had told you she was talking about
Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Or I don't know, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, you'd say, yeah,
that's right. They're hiding away Trump is not hiding away, guys.
Trump has been out in clear sight, doing interviews, doing podcasts,
doing shaking hands, meeting people in public places, answering questions
for even adversary media, even people he doesn't agree with,
He's answering their questions. Kamala is the one that's been hiding.
(02:47):
Kamala Harris has been hiding this entire time. She's plotting
to steal the election. She's a fascist. Kamala Harris is
the problem. Stories about internal polling must be taken with
a grain AsSalt. Those kinds of leaks are generally self serving.
(03:07):
They're aimed at potential donors. So when news began leaking
about how Trump's swing state polling showed him in better
shape than public polling, I didn't pay much attention. But
now now we know those stories are true. In fact,
there's no question now that last week's internal polling said
Kamala was already in trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
How do we know?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Thank you for asking. I'm happy to tell you. Because
the Harris campaign launched a media blitz. The campaign actually
took the risk of putting Kamala in front of the
public without a teleprompter. Sure, those appearances were only with
her fellow left wing extremist on programs like The View
or Stephen Colbert. But when you're talking about someone as
(03:52):
dumb as Kamala, that's a risk you still don't take
unless you absolutely must. All along, I've been saying that
the Harris Walls campaign's biggest fear is finding themselves falling
behind in the polls and realizing that the only way
to stop the bleeding is to have Kamala appear in
public without a teleprompter. That is their worst fear, because
(04:14):
that's when the doom spiral begins. Unscripted appearances are only
going to damage her. That's exactly what's happening right now.
She's not likable. Nobody likes her. Earlier last week, she
appeared on the friendliest show available for her, called The View.
How do you blow it on The View when you're
(04:35):
a leading Democrat politician, Well she did.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
She found a way.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
What could be dumber than running as a change candidate
and then saying you wouldn't do anything different from Joe Biden. No,
there's a SoundBite of this, guys, Well, if anything, would
you have done something differently than President Biden during the
past four years?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
There is not a thing that comes to mind. You
get the point, right, Gin need to hear it. You
do it. You know what she said?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You know it's dumber than that, repeating the exact same
mistakes a few hours later, when Stephen Colbert offers you
a do over, she actually did this, She did that,
She said the same thing. I wouldn't change the thing.
The campaign also has no choice but to have that
bug eyed clown Tim Walls run around without a teleprompter,
which has put him in his own doom spiral.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Have you seen this yet? Here he is on ABC News.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Vice President Harris was asked this week on the View
if she would have done anything differently than President Biden
with President Biden that he had done in the past
four years, and she said, well, there's not a thing
that comes to mind. And she later says she would
have a Republican in her cabinet. And when it comes
to President and Biden and the presidency, do you would
(05:48):
you and do you see anything that you would have
done there?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (05:50):
And look, I as a governor, I was asked to
be governor of this state when Donald Trump was president
and when Joe Biden was there, and I watched Donald
Trump dismiss the COVID pandemic. I watched him drive an
economy into the ground, and I watched Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris pick those pieces up. And I think, for
all of us, we make decisions, we reanalyze afterwards. I
think the thing that drew me to this ticket, and
(06:11):
I think what the Vice President's talking about is that
her values on these hasn't changed. They have been working
for the middle class, They've been doing all they can
to make sure prices come down. They're protecting reproductive care.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
So it makes me want to ask you, do you
think that Biden's done everything right?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Well, look, I don't know if any of us do
everything right, but I can tell you he's done everything
in the best interest in the American public.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, how about it. That's just amazing, guys, amazing. Tim
Walls crashed and burned trying to explain why he lied
about carrying weapons in war and being in Hong Kong
during the Tienamen Square massacre.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You call yourself a knucklehead.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I call yourself with a knucklehea because you've made some statements
that just aren't true in a common about weapon of
the war that I carried in war which you didn't.
You said, and you were in Hong Kong doing a
tan and then square massacre when you weren't. You kind
of chalked at all up the bad grammar or getting
the dates wrong. But your opponents that you lied to
make yourself look better, do they have a point?
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Well, look, thirty five years ago, got the opportunity to
be in Hong Kong, be in China, learned a lot
about it, served twenty four years in the National Guard,
passionately in an instance talking about gun violence in schools
on an instance there. Proud of the service that I've done,
Proud to be a teacher in that classroom, Proud to
have been very public all these years and owning it
(07:33):
when I said, look, I was there in August of
eighty nine, and I think what you see here you
saw in Minnesota. I've been elected eight times here. These
things have been very public for folks here. They see
the results of things that we passed. We see a
state that's the top five state for business. We see
third best state, top three state for raising a child,
and we've got the best healthcare. And I think the policies,
(07:54):
whether it be dealing with China and understanding China's human
rights record. What you can be certain there is that
Kamala Harrison and I aren't gonna, you know, pick dictators.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
On speed dial.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Seeshi Jinping is doing a good job during COVID, as
Donald Trump said. And I think those lessons learned over
a lifetime of being very public, whether it's in the
classroom of being elected.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, and what's happened since this blundering media blitz, guys,
Kamala's pulling's gone down, and it keeps going down, and
you can expect more of it.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
Kenny has always thought the best things in life are free,
free plus tax. Of course, Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
There is this story from over the weekend of Governor
Tim Walls and his pheasant hunted trip.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
This is from the Daily Caller.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Tim Walls of Minnesota appears to have a difficult time
loading a semi atomic shotgun. Sorry, there's a typo here
in the story. I think they mean an automatic shotgun.
Probably not atomic, right, but that'd be incredible. Yeah, I'll
take two atomic shotguns. Please know it was an automatic shotgun.
It's a video. Have you guys seen it on social media.
He goes on a pheasant hunting trip. There's two videos.
(09:09):
In one video, you see him with dozens of people
all dressed up to go hunting, but none of them
are holding a gun. And you know, just to make
sure nobody would accuse him of not understanding guns, they
posted a second video where he is holding a gun
and boy, he's having a tough time with it. Walls
took part in the annual Governor's Pheasant Hunting Opener in
near Sleepy I, Minnesota on Saturday. This was to kick
(09:33):
off the season for the Upland gang Game Bird. It's
a you know, pheasant hunting, that's what they're talking about.
So they posted a video to social media. And in
the video, just to put it bluntly, he is struggling
to load the shotgun. Wall said as he tries to
load shells into the shotgun magazine. It never fits quite right,
(09:55):
he says, Hey, folks, there's a sorry, I hang on
a second here. I got some audio this but played
the wrong sound bite. Let's try that again.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Please, it never fits quite right.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You never played right.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
It's not quite right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
How do you get a la is?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
This was a Burretta eight four hundred.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
So he knew that he knew it was a Bretta
eight four hundred. He said he bought it when he
was shooting a lot of trap. He explained that he
selected the gun due to a patented kickoff feature that
reduced the recoil. He said, it doesn't hurt your shoulders
as much. A lot of people that pointed out that
his shotgun appeared to be a semi automatic Barretta A
(10:32):
four hundred xcel. It cost about two thousand dollars, while
the stock with the kickoff technology is another eleven hundred
dollars according to Bretta's website, So that is a thirty
two hundred dollars shotgun upwards. A lot of questions here
surrounding his retirement from the Minnesota National Guard in two
thousand and five have surfaced since a twenty eighteen Facebook
(10:54):
post by a retired Army Command Sergeant Major Thomas Baron's resurfaced,
which we had light on the governor's reasoning for leaving
the unit just before its lengthy deployment to Iraq.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I bet I know why he quit. He didn't want
to go to Iraq.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And here's the thing I don't blame him. I didn't
want to go to war, so I didn't join the military.
I understand. But he's gone out and made it sound
like he went to Iraq. He's gone out and made
it sound like he went to Afghanistan. He claims to
have PTSD, which apparently got while he was in Italy
eating a bowl of linguini.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Walls.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Did not bag any pheasants during the annual hunt, according
to the AP, didn't shoot one bird, which makes you
wonder did he really shoot while he was up there.
He's not the only guy in Kamala's world that's creating
problems for her. Breitbart dot Com today reporting on Vice
President Kamala Harris's husband, Doug m Hoff. Doug get drunk
(11:52):
and beat a woman and force another woman to get
an abortion m Hoff. Those are the allegations against him.
He is facing incredible allegation of assaulting a former girlfriend
and engaging in misogynist and sexist misconduct while he was
running a law firm in La. Wow, that's weird. It's
not like lawyers from Los Angeles to act like scumbags. Oh,
(12:14):
I guess that's exactly what they do. To the surprise,
of No One. During a Friday morning interview, MSNBC's Joe
Scarborough not only chose to dismiss these troubling, incredible allegations
as tabloid stuff, but rather than ask America's second gentleman
to denying them on record, Joe chose instead to basically
(12:34):
ask Doug Emhoff how he can remain so awesome with
all this injustice hurled against him. It's also notable that
rather than use this opportunity to deny the allegations, am
Hoff just declared them as a distraction.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
About you, saying that tabloid's stories about your personal life,
saying it should be front and center. He's saying it
about your wife and making an.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Incredibly crude and loose suggestions.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
About her past life. I'm just curious.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I know I seem like a very zen, mindful person,
but I think I'd be pissed off, and I'm just wondering,
how do you how do you all stay centered? How
do you stay disciplined and not really go off and
not really pushed back hard at these things.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
We don't have time to be pissed off. We don't
have time to focus on It's all a distraction it's
designed to try to get us off our game?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Does it get you off? Now?
Speaker 11 (13:40):
All we are doing, all we talk about is a selection.
We understand the stakes, we understand the responsibility.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Wow, guys, you got to admit democrats got it good,
don't they. How about a little recap here the allegations
of Doug M. Hoff, the man currently redefining manusculinity. According
to Jen Pisasi MSNBC will, he was married to his
first wife and around that time em Hoff not only
had an affair, he had an affair with the nanny,
(14:08):
the person they put in charge of taking care of
their own children. Apparently he got her pregnant. He doesn't
deny this, but what happened to the baby is anyone's guest.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
No one knows.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Three sources have come forward to tell the story of
how he slapped his then girlfriend so hard in twenty twelve.
The poor woman spun all the way around through a spokesperson.
Em Hoff denies the allegations, but he did not take
the opportunity to deny it himself, certainly not in that interview.
I still can't believe Jen Psasi said that this guy
(14:43):
was redefining masculinity in the United States.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Something that is all that has also been an important
part or an interesting part of how people have talked
about your role here is how your role has reshaped
the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you've planned
on that, but you are an incredibly support Has that
been an evolution for you? And do you think that's
part of the role you might play as first gentlemen.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
It's funny, I've started to think a lot about this.
I've always been like this. My dad was like this,
and to me, it's the right thing to do. You know,
support women, it's mutual. Like with Kamin I, it's we
support each other. We have each other's back. And I've
said many times when we lift up women, we support women,
(15:28):
whether it's pay, equity, childcare, family leave, and all these
issues that you know, this post stops healthscape. Women should
not be less than Women should not have less rights
and be treated differently. That's not the American way. And
it's also not like if some women succeeds, some dude
out there is suffering. It's not a one to one relationship.
(15:50):
When we lift up women, we lift up families, we
lift up the economy. And when I was in the
business world. It lifted up the organizations that I would stop.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I'm far from a perfect person, my friends, but if
somebody accused me of laying hands on a woman in anger,
I would want to defend myself, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You know these people.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
The sources that made these points about him also added
some seedy allegations to the already ced story of the
knocked up nanny. Em Hoff allegedly told this ex girlfriend
he paid knocked up nanny eighty thousand dollars in hush money,
and then nanny accused him of causing her to have
a miscarriage. Em Hoff is facing credible accusations of borish, abusive,
(16:36):
and sexist behavior, and all this happened while he was
running an LA law firm two thousand and six to
two thousand and seven. Here's a here's another report.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Here, let me read it to you. Here.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
The allegations paint a picture of someone who is the
complete opposite of the feminist ally the media selling does.
One corporate news outlet said em Hoff is redefining masculinity,
maybe redefining it back to the Madman era of the
nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
A female partner at the firm told a top male colleague.
One senior former staffer claim m Hoff bragged about yelling
get the f out of my office to a female
partner he had put her in her place, reports The
Daily Mail. What's worse was he bragged about it to
the management at Venable and they were a guest. He's
(17:27):
an ahole, a misogynist. That that's who does it. That's
what the report says. End quote. One ex staffer told
the Daily Mail quote it was well known at the
law firm that Doug Emhoff was very flirty and that
if you weren't flirty backer didn't respond positively, then you
were on the.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
S list as word for poop.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Rather than address these issues like a professional, Joe Scarborough
interviewing Doug m Hoff spins potential female victims into a
virtue for m Hoff, a virtue as in, gosh, you're
so awesomely awesome and how you handle all the bad
Orange man. Watching Joe Scarborough debase himself is just brutal,
isn't it embarrassing? Absolutely pathetic?
Speaker 9 (18:10):
America, the land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.
Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Hello, Hi, Hello, what is that royalty free music?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Oh? That could only mean we're live streaming on social
media while we're also on the radio. You're probably thinking,
I don't recognize that song. Yeah, that's it's a telltale
sign we're on. If we're live on the radio, I
could play anything I want. I could play Peter Gabriel,
I could play Nirvana, I could play Tupac Shakur. But
when we live stream on social media, we have to
play songs like this. What's that? This song is called
(18:45):
Queen of the Rock by some it's nobody. It's royalty free.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm Kenny Webster, Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's Columbus Day for some of us, Indigenous People Day
for others. I gotta think if you're deciding between people
who when you're looking at someone that celebrates Indigenous People Day,
you know how they vote. When you're looking at somebody
that celebrates Columbus Day, it's probably a little more confusing.
But at any rate, I do know this. I know
that I live in Southeast Texas. I live in a
(19:13):
place where there are a lot of Catholic people here,
but they're mostly Hispanic. A lot of our listeners in
Louisiana are Catholic and they're actually Italian. And anyway, whether
you support Columbus Day or Indigenous People Day, I'm sure
we all agree we don't want to be poisoned by
carcinergic chemicals. There's a place out in the suburbs here
of Houston, the Deer Park area, where there's a business
called Pemex Pemex. Last week there was a massive chemical
(19:36):
leak right over there in Deer Park. Not the first
time that this has happened, this time too, fatalities, more
than three dozen.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Injuries, and an unknown number.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Of health effects from the air quality lived. I'm generally
pro oil and gas. I'm pro energy industry. I'm for it.
I'm you know, I'm nuanced enough to understand there's pros
and cons to everything. I think oil and gas is good.
I think carbon fuel is good, but we certainly I'm
against pollution.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
When people are talking about climate change.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Often people on the left will devolve the conversation into
a they'll say, well, you're not against pollution, like pollution?
Who said anything about pollution? I'm definitely against pollution. Back
in twenty nineteen, before the pandemic, it feels like it
was so long ago we barely remember it. We had
a new Harris County judge. If you're not from Southeast Texas,
or to those of you that listen to us or
(20:27):
watch us on social media that or not from Texas,
maybe you don't know what a county judge is. It's
not like a judicial appointment. It's not a judge in
the traditional sense. In Texas, a county judge is sort
of like the executive.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Of the county. It's like the mayor of the county,
very important person.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
And our county judge in Southeast Texas is a teenage communist. Okay,
I'm exaggerating a little bit, but her name is Lena Hidalgo,
and Lena Hidalgo is a sort of got elected by
accident the Beto o'rourk wave of twenty eighteen, so she's
brand new in twenty nineteen. We didn't know that much
about her at the time, and there was a big
chemical fire out in the suburbs. Selena Hidalgo gets on
(21:05):
TV and she makes her first one of the first
times any of us had ever seen around television, and
she always she's always looking panicked and talking like, oh
I don't I talk like this because I'm Lena Hidalgo
and I'm terrified of cameras, and like they should have
really made her take a community college speech class before
they had her stand in front of millions of people
and deliver important, life threatening information. But at any rate,
(21:28):
she came out and she told us, after this big
fire out in Deer Park at the time, everything's fine,
the air quality is fine, You're gonna be It's okay,
don't worry about it. And you know, she's a progressive Democrat,
so we figure she must be telling us the truth
because if there's one thing progressive Democrats love to do,
it's take a crap on corporate America and in industry
(21:48):
and oil and gas and that sort of thing. Right,
lo and behold, some local journalists gets in his car,
drives out to Deer Park and he goes to the
air quality testing facility because it turns out there is one,
and he asks the person in charge of the facility
if it's true that the error is safe, and the
guy says, oh, I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I have no idea, And the journalist said, what do
you mean you have no idea?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
As it turns out the air quality testing facility had
been offline for like a month, I don't remember how long.
It's arbitrary, it hadn't been working for a while. My
point is, now the same problem seems to be happening again,
and you can't blame people for wondering if they could
trust local elected officials, because like a lot of you,
I don't want to get cancer from just walking around outside.
(22:31):
So here to help us answer that question is a
local attorney, mister Chad Pinkerton. Chad, Generally, attorneys are not
people we turn to for trustworthy knowledge.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
But you're but you're not. You don't You don't.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Have a You don't have a horse in this race,
do you. You've won lawsuits against these guys in the past,
but on this particular issue where you personally involved in
it right now, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Well, I mean I'm personally involved in and to the
extent that I do have some people within the community
and workers that have reached out to my law firm
to represent them. So I will be involved in the
lawsuit that's going to be moving forward probably in the
next few weeks. But I think I'm pretty unbiased on
the issue. I don't like pollution either. I think pollution
(23:14):
is bad. I think the public officials that lie to
the public is a bad thing. I think corporations that
don't take care of the safety of the community and
their workers is a bad thing. I don't think anybody
can really disagree with those things, so I can be
unbiased to that extent, but I am a personal injury lawyer,
so I'm going to side on the side of the people.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Okay, I get it. It's what you do for a living,
so grain as salt on all this one. I just
want people to know what they're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Here.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
You seem like a very smart guy. You went to
University of Houston. You're a conservative, You're a god loving American.
You're not You're not a communist. You're not against industry.
You know you want people to have jobs. You want
us to have access to life sustaining energy.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Right percent. I agree with what you just said, although
I do sue chemical companies and refineries often. I am
pro oil and gas. I am from Texas. I was
born and raised here, so oil and gas is important
to our state, and I think that you can do
it safer and when accidents happen, you're responsible for those accidents.
If you pollute a community, you're responsible for that. But
(24:14):
I'm not for you not making money as a corporation
in the oil and gas field. I want that to
be good for Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
It is interesting to me that the same people that
will tell you climate change is real, oil and gas
is evil. But we shouldn't put any restraints on China,
and we should. We should produce all of our goods
and services there. All of our products should come from
a country where they're building new coil coal burning power
plants every single day.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
We haven't built one in decades. They're they're building them
as we speak.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Yeah, it seems a little bit unfair. Uh, But I mean,
don't get me into the climate uh change conversation. I
mean that's all political. I mean, sure, that's that is political. Sure,
that's all political. It's a reason to uh restrict Americans
and tax Americans and and none of that is important
to Americans right now. But I mean, there are some
(25:04):
people that believe in climate change and it's gonna flood
or we're gonna burn up or whatever. It's not gonna
happen in our lifetimes or the next generation or the
next generation or the next generation. I think that it's
just a political talking point and it's annoying.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
All right, So what is going on in Deer Park
right now? Because this matters. There's a lot of people
that live out there. They're average people that moved there
for affordable homes. They commute to the city for jobs.
But all is not well out there, is it?
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Well? Deer Park is a great community, and a lot
of industrial workers work out there because they work in
the refineries and plants in Galveston County, in that particular
area of Harris County. Hard working individuals. They want to
raise their families in peace, They want to send their
kids to good schools. They want to live in a
home and live the American dream. Hardworking guys that are
(25:53):
guys and gals that work twelve hour shifts, seven to
fourteen days in a row. Okay, So these are good people.
What they are, what they do deserve is an environment
to live in. You can't just pollute their environment and
expect them to just be like, Okay, that's fine. I
chose to live in Deerport Park, so you can poison me.
And a lot of that does go on in that industry,
(26:15):
and this particular incident was at pem X, which is
a Mexican based company, and they had a release that
happens in the oil and gas industry process, safety is
very important. You got to keep your safety guidelines in check.
You got to follow the rules and the procedures to
make sure this doesn't happen. This particular release was a
(26:35):
dangerous chemical compound, hydros and sulfide, and when released in
a large quantity in a small area, it's deadly, like
people lose their consciousness, they die, And two people did
die in this particular incident. Thirty five other workers were
triodds and sent to the hospital. Members of the community
were harmed, headaches, dizziness, you know, difficulty breathing, those sorts
(26:59):
of thought things. So when this does happen, it's newsworthy
because this is a chance to put the company under
the microscope for what they actually did and did not do. Then,
if you're going to improve safety, you have to use
instants like this to correct behavior, and that's my job.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Okay, So generally something like this shouldn't be political. We
all agree we don't want people to be poisoned to death.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Sadly, it is political, right, and you expect Republicans to
defend these companies.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You expect that that's traditionally.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
What we've come to find the lobbyists from these companies
seem to donate to Republicans. So I can't help but
notice a lot of politicians are very quiet about this
right now. But what's confusing to me is where are
the Democrats. Isn't this when Democrats are supposed to be
criticizing these people. It seems like people like Rodney Ellis,
Lena Hidalgo, the local democrats here, are they also in
(27:52):
bed with these companies?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Well, I don't know if they're in bed, but you
hadn't heard a word about it, right, You hadn't have
them come out and take a stance. Again, it's this
kind of behavior. And when we have two families that
lost loved ones and not a peep out of some
of these Democrats. You know, sometimes I think the Democrats
are you know, they got their hand in the in
the kitty too much, like they want the money, right, okay,
(28:15):
and sometimes the money follows the business. Uh, And that's
a real problem. Look, Uh, any elected official should be
doing and when doing their job is to protect the
public or educate the public, and that's your primary role.
And when you're not executing that primary role, in my mind,
that's a problem. I don't care if you're a Republican
(28:37):
or a Democrat. It's you know, what's happening too much
in our country is we have become numb to the
fact that it's okay for politicians to uh be out
for the bottom dollar for themselves. They're getting rich off
the American taxpayer, and that that bothers me.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I mean too, Yeah, that's not capitalism.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
If somebody goes out and they pay a public official
to look the other way while they poison the water
or while they light a fire, and then if your
hair's falling out, if your skin's turning red, if your
livestock and your pets are dying because they're just standing
around outside, and someone walks up and goes, well, you
just hate capitalism.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's not capitalism.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
This is it's clearly supposed to be illegal. You have
a right to private property. Your private property rights extend
to the air around your home. You're not supposed to
get poisoned to.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Death goes straight up to space, so around your private property.
But it's not even just that it's your your access
to the public too. So you're driving around town, you're
going to pick up your kids at school, your kids
are playing at recess. If if you ever plant that's
poisoning the air around your children, everybody should be angry. Right.
(29:49):
That should not be a political issue. That should be
one hundred percent an individual's right to protect their family.
But sometimes that just goes completely un ignored these days.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
All right, So the problems we have in dear Park
here in Texas remind me a lot of Palaestine, Ohio.
You may recall a little while back, early I guess
it was a first or second year as the Biden administration,
early in his first half. Yeah, a train derails out
in rural Ohio, right, and they light all the chemicals
on fire. Same thing what I just described starts happening.
People's hair starts falling out. Their dogs are dying, the
(30:20):
livestock's falling over something, plants are dying. Something's clearly wrong.
And lo and behold, the EPA doesn't care. The Biden
administration doesn't care. Pete Booty Jig, the Transportation secretary, he
doesn't seem to care. Those are Democrats and a lot
of people at the time thought, okay, well, you know,
it's hard for them to care because the people affected
(30:41):
by it are all Trump supporters. Did you follow that case?
Do you know much about it?
Speaker 6 (30:44):
I did, and the response by the government in that
particular case was horrific. Right, They made a decision to
extinguish the poisonous chemicals by burning it. Well, that creates
a dangerous situation for everybody around that area. They didn't
properly evacuate. Then you saw no response in the following
(31:07):
weeks and months to cure the problem, and everybody that's
been harmed by that you don't even hear about it anymore.
It's hard for those people to bring lawsuits because of
the some of the federal protections against the companies involved
in the federal government. So what you have is a
situation where a group of individuals are just left in
a disaster zone, and I don't know how that community
(31:30):
ever recovers.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Right, Okay, I get your point there. It's frustrating, right.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
The good news is people do win these things like
there is it is it's hard to believe this is truly,
you know, a David versus Glaiat situation, But people actually
can win these lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
You've won them.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I've won many of them, right, I've won many of
these exposure type cases. I won one in federal court
in Galveston County years back. Another company, it was BP
at the time, had released some poisonous gas. A bunch
of workers at Dow Chemical got sick and hurt, and
they released the chemical for weeks. They covered it up
(32:09):
and went down there in Galveston County and won that one.
But you can lose them too. Now, lawyers like me,
people don't recognize that we invest money in the case
to go fight for our clients, and if we don't win,
we don't get paid all.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Right, not counting the money that you won. How much
money have you lost going to war with these companies?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
M I don't know if I can say I've lost
for figure them out. I would say I figure them out.
It's definitely in the sixth figure six figures. Say no more,
my man. My guest right now is Chad Pinkerton, local attorney.
Quick break will be right. Oh, what were you gonna say?
I don't like to say I lost, but I guess
it's true. I have lost financially on a few of them.
(32:51):
But I don't feel like I've lost the fight for
my people, and I do the best I can.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
All Right, when we get back, we're gonna talk about
pick laws. Have you ever said a how do I
explain this not a photo of Dick Cheney. We'll explain
after pursuit of that penis radio coming now, juice.
Speaker 9 (33:07):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
All right, we're back. Greetings kids.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Free speech is a touchy subject pun intended for this segment.
You have a right to self expression. You have a
right to religious freedoms. You have a right to be
a journalist.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Right. You're not allowed to lie. You're not allowed to.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Defame people, at least you know, certainly not a private citizen.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Maybe a public figure. If you want.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Satire and parody, that seems to be protected speech for
some reason. Women's nipples real touchy subject. In some places
in the country, ladies could just whip out their nipples
wherever they want, right, and in.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Other places they can't.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
You see political protests from time to time, you'll see
young I always wondered who was it that convinced young
women that young adult women that the way to piss
off for public is to take your boobs out at
a protest. Hey, these guys hate abortions. Let's piss them
off by showing them our nipples. I don't think it works, ladies,
but okay, Hey no, I'm here for it. Whip out
(34:12):
your boobs if you want. I think you have a
right to. I find it odd that men can show
their nipples but women can't. I'm not as socially conservative
as some of our radio listeners are.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I don't have an issue with that. I think it
should be legal.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
It feels weird to see myself on camera wearing a
cruciffix around my neck while I talk about talk. I'm
gonna put this away for just a second here, but
the necklace around my neck For those of you, they
can't see me. But at any rate, so the laws
are a little confusing when it comes to that. A
while back, they came up with laws about revenge porn. Again,
this is a touchy subject. U pun intended. If somebody
(34:48):
shares naked photos with you and then you break up
with that person later on, you're not allowed to post
those photos online. Not in every state, but in many
states because it's against the law, especially if it's for revenge.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
What about that other thing that men sometimes send photographs of.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Rooster picks?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I think that's the best way to explain this one,
photos of your junk. I never understood this one. You know,
men and women are different. Women don't want to see
a picture of your genitals. Boys probably not unless they
request it. I'm guessing you know again, I'm painting in
broad drugs here. We're not all made the same, We're
not all we don't all like the same flavor of
ice cream, do we. But there's a lot of people,
(35:28):
there's a lot of women out there that are very
repulsed by an unsolicited photo of genitalium. Now you might
think to yourself that, hey, first Amendment, I could send
this picture if I want, I could post it anywhere
that I want.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Turns out, not necessarily. It's kind of a gray area. Here.
Here to help.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Explain it to me, a guy who is an expert
on genital photos, Chad Pinkerton, how many.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Of you sent out, uh, no comment?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
No, Chad, it's illegal.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
Right, it's illegal in thirty five states.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Why thirty five?
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Well, not all the states have adopted that type of law.
I mean, every state gets to make their own law,
and thirty five of them that chose to say, listen,
if you send an unsolicited picture of your junk, then
you've committed a criminal offense, and Texas is one of those.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Okay, so you you become personally connected to this controversy.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Why is that?
Speaker 6 (36:22):
Well, actually it happened by accident, right, So a client
called and said that she got a picture of a
man's junk and did not ask for it, and then
sent me the text messages. And it really wasn't the
junk picture that struck me. It was actually pretty small
and I don't know if it I don't know if
(36:43):
you want to send that one. But anyways, his was small,
but some of the language that he was including and
the text message were super offensive. I mean, this guy
was talking about doing threesomes, asking her to get her
her niece involved, who was eighteen, and just disgusting behavior.
But so because of the behavior that I've read in
(37:05):
the text message messages, I decided, look gonna, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna take action against this guy because during my research,
I found out, hey, that's illegal in Texas. It's a
criminal offense, although I'm going to pursue this civilly. When
there's a criminal offense in Texas, like sexual assault and
stuff like that, you can sue them civilly also, so
(37:26):
I took that action.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Okay, look, I'm just gonna try to play white Devil's
advocate hearing out that I have a choice. But how
is this not a First Amendment issue? How is this
not how is this not free speech?
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Well, first Amendment, there are restrictions on lued behavior, right,
So leued behavior can be criminalized in different states. So
you have a first Amendment right under the constitution. In
the state of Texas gives you that same First Amendment right,
but leued behavior is not included in that. So if
you are do something that's defined by the state as
luede behavior, then it can be criminalized. And then that's
(37:58):
the difference. Right. So we have boundaries that every state
sets up for their citizens, and one of the boundaries
that thirty five states have chosen to do at this
point is listen, guys, you can't send u unsolicited pictures
of your junk to women. And I think it really
came about by this issue with older men sending it
(38:21):
to younger girls, and I think that that was what
the states were trying to control.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Wow, okay, so this never goes the other way, Chad.
There's never, as far as I could tell, and I
am not an expert on this topic. As a public figure,
I try to, you know, make sure there's no naked
pictures of me out there. You never know, right, you
never know, well, you never know you're in a locker
room or something, or you know, walking around you have
no idea who's right. There's cameras and microphones everywhere all
(38:47):
the time, constantly. But I tried for me not But
all that being said, I noticed it never goes in
the other direction. Women are not sending unsolicited pictures of
their junk.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
They're not. Usually it's the guys eliciting the pictures and
the women trying to figure out where they want to
send that picture. Right, But no, I don't. I don't
see anything very often of women sending unsolicited pictures of
they're junk.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Isn't it weird how we have to write laws that
affect men and women equally, even though men and women
are clearly different.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Right, I'll give you an example.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
If a guy got that photo in his text message,
Would you do you think there is a guy on earth? Maybe, okay,
maybe a married guy who had to pretend he was
really offended by it so his wife wouldn't get But
do you think single men there's one guy out there
that would be.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Mad about this?
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Probably no complaints, right, Probably send me more pictures.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
All right, here's another one. I just learned about this.
You're a lawyer. Maybe you know something about this.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
The R word.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
People are very delicate about the R word, so I
won't use it, even though it doesn't personally offend me.
Mentally challenged, mentally handicapped is the word I'm going to
use here.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
It is a Did you know?
Speaker 3 (39:54):
It is against the law in most states in America
for a person like you and I. I'm guessing you're
very smart. You probably have an above average IQ. Maybe
you and I have that in common. You know, not
smart enough to not be on this radio station. But
you know, did you know it is against the law
for men like us to make love, perform the beast
of two backs with somebody who is mentally challenged with
(40:16):
a woman.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
I think the idea behind that, I mean, I don't
want to get legal with you is that a person
with that level of IQ it doesn't have the ability
you actually consent. So if you can't get consent, then
you can't. It's just like any other situation of sexual assault.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
All right, I want you to think deeply about this
for a minute.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Okay, reverse this now that they don't want men like
us to exploit women. Right, do you think there is
a mentally challenged adult male alive in America that would
be pleased to find out that any woman that gets
in bed with him is going to.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Go to jail for it.
Speaker 6 (40:52):
I don't think they would.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
So you think that's kind of cruel, Chad? Don't you
think that's a little like think about it? You're you
have a seventy five Q the world. Everything's complicated and
hard for you, pun intended. But if you were to
go out if a woman, if an able, bodied, intelligent
woman has sex with you, don't worry man with mental handicaps,
She's definitely going to jail for that.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Doesn't that seem kind of cruel?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Chad?
Speaker 6 (41:16):
It does seem very cruel. It does seem very cruel.
But you know, I can't debate how these laws come about.
You know, once they're a law, My job is to
look at the law and then apply the law to
a lawsuit. So it's hard for me to say that
I do believe that you should have consent in every category.
I mean we have if you're underage, I mean, that's
(41:38):
law is not just restricted to people with low IQ.
If you're underage, you can't consent to having sex with
someone that's overage. It's called sessittory rape. So you can't
do that. So that death law has been on the
books for one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
All right, one more law and then okay, at don't
you think, considering that men and women are not the same,
it's kind of unfair for a guy to put a
dress on and join a women's field hockey team or
girls field hockey.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Isn't that kind of unfair?
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Like or a powerlifting Isn't it kind of unfair for
a guy to put a miniskirt on and say, Okay,
I'm a woman. Now I'm gonna compete in Olympic powerlifting.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
So what drives me crazy is we spent decades and
decades trying to facilitate female sports, and in the last
three years, what we see is this destruction of female
sports by allowing men, genetic men to compete against women.
It doesn't make any sense. Women should have their own
venue to play their sports and compete with other women.
(42:39):
And a dude that dresses up like a girl or
claims their transgender and wants to play in the female
arena is just ludicrous to me. I don't get it.
I don't get how anybody thinks that's fair. There's a
big lawsuit going on right now about a male who
wanted to play female volleyball and one of the Carolinas.
(43:01):
They made it a law that you can't be a
genetic male and play volleyball in a female arena, So
that male then transferred to California, where the laws weren't
the same, so he could again play with females. It
makes no sense to me, and the fact that we're
allowing sports for females to be destroyed like this is
(43:26):
unfatholed me. I don't even know how people excuse it,
but it's it's just annoying.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
I do think as a man, though, the law about
mentally challenged men having any woman that has sex with
them get arrested. That bothers me a little more than
the female sport thing.
Speaker 6 (43:40):
Does I don't know. I have three daughters.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Well, so hey, fair enough, and I don't have any
and I don't have any and I'm kind of dumb.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
So hey, Chad Pikerton, you're a very good lawyer.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
You're a very nice guy. One last question for you.
Columbus Day are Indigenous People's Day?
Speaker 6 (43:56):
Well, Columbus Day. I'm a conservative, but I don't mean
any offense to anybody else. But it's cold this day.
I've so celebrated Columbus Day for every year I was
ever in school, as a as a youth, and there's
I don't see any problem with it. I don't know
why we have to tear down people in order to
build other people up.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
I feel the same way. We can have Indigenous People
Day tomorrow. We still won't do anything for either holiday,
but wear a shirt and post of memes. So what
difference does it make?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Chad? If people want to hire you, how do they
get ahold of you?
Speaker 6 (44:25):
Just call my law firm seven one three three six
zero six seven two two or go to my website

Speaker 9 (44:51):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
Tell the government to kiss You're us when you listen
to the show.
The Giganic government sucks. Suit of habbiness radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
habines us on your radiotele, just as cheeseburgers and liberty
rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Y'all know what day it is. It's Columbus Day.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
A study by Spanish scientists claims that Christopher Columbus was Jewish.
They came to this conclusion after finding letters from his
mother filled with relentless criticism over his failure to become
a doctor. Hi, Kenny Webster here, thanks so much for
joining us. Chad Pingerton will be my special guest at
the bottom of the hour. He's a lawyer. No no,
(00:48):
don't change a channel. Don't don't. He's a he's fighting
for the law. He has some information about problems here
in the Greater Houston area you may not be aware of.
It would appear as though you're being wide I know, shocking.
We'll get to all that in a little bit. I'm
gonna tell you the story about how local elected officials
are teaming up with industrial corporations to poison you.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'll explain it soon.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
In the meantime, we start the show with this Breitbart
dot Com today reporting on Kamala Harris bungling. Kamala Harris,
she's in trouble now. She's doing interviews. Have you noticed this?
Over the weekend, Kamala Harris was she's actually talking to
the media. Now, a lot of people said, you're not
talking to the media. Why won't you talk to the media. Well,
Kamala Harris went out and talked to the media, and
(01:33):
that was when we suddenly started to realize why she
doesn't talk to the media.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Turns out she's not very good at it.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
She's doing interviews. It is just it has not gone
well for her. Kamala Harris. Here's a strange moment. Kamala
Harris actually claims it's Donald Trump, not her, who has
been hiding from people.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Here's the thing, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It makes you wonder, makes you wonder.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Why does his.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Staf want him to hide away?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
One must question?
Speaker 6 (02:11):
One must question, are they afraid that people will see
that he is too weak and unstable?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Now, if I had told you she was talking about
Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Or I don't know, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, you'd say, yeah,
that's right. They're hiding away Trump is not hiding away, guys.
Trump has been out in clear sight, doing interviews, doing podcasts,
doing shaking hands, meeting people in public places, answering questions
for even adversary media, even people he doesn't agree with,
He's answering their questions. Kamala is the one that's been hiding.
(02:47):
Kamala Harris has been hiding this entire time. She's plotting
to steal the election. She's a fascist. Kamala Harris is
the problem. Stories about internal polling must be taken with
a grain AsSalt. Those kinds of leaks are generally self serving.
(03:07):
They're aimed at potential donors. So when news began leaking
about how Trump's swing state polling showed him in better
shape than public polling, I didn't pay much attention. But
now now we know those stories are true. In fact,
there's no question now that last week's internal polling said
Kamala was already in trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
How do we know?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Thank you for asking. I'm happy to tell you. Because
the Harris campaign launched a media blitz. The campaign actually
took the risk of putting Kamala in front of the
public without a teleprompter. Sure, those appearances were only with
her fellow left wing extremist on programs like The View
or Stephen Colbert. But when you're talking about someone as
(03:52):
dumb as Kamala, that's a risk you still don't take
unless you absolutely must. All along, I've been saying that
the Harris Walls campaign's biggest fear is finding themselves falling
behind in the polls and realizing that the only way
to stop the bleeding is to have Kamala appear in
public without a teleprompter. That is their worst fear, because
(04:14):
that's when the doom spiral begins. Unscripted appearances are only
going to damage her. That's exactly what's happening right now.
She's not likable. Nobody likes her. Earlier last week, she
appeared on the friendliest show available for her, called The View.
How do you blow it on The View when you're
(04:35):
a leading Democrat politician, Well she did.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
She found a way.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
What could be dumber than running as a change candidate
and then saying you wouldn't do anything different from Joe Biden. No,
there's a SoundBite of this, guys, Well, if anything, would
you have done something differently than President Biden during the
past four years?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
There is not a thing that comes to mind. You
get the point, right, Gin need to hear it. You
do it. You know what she said?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You know it's dumber than that, repeating the exact same
mistakes a few hours later, when Stephen Colbert offers you
a do over, she actually did this, She did that,
She said the same thing. I wouldn't change the thing.
The campaign also has no choice but to have that
bug eyed clown Tim Walls run around without a teleprompter,
which has put him in his own doom spiral.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Have you seen this yet? Here he is on ABC News.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Vice President Harris was asked this week on the View
if she would have done anything differently than President Biden
with President Biden that he had done in the past
four years, and she said, well, there's not a thing
that comes to mind. And she later says she would
have a Republican in her cabinet. And when it comes
to President and Biden and the presidency, do you would
(05:48):
you and do you see anything that you would have
done there?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (05:50):
And look, I as a governor, I was asked to
be governor of this state when Donald Trump was president
and when Joe Biden was there, and I watched Donald
Trump dismiss the COVID pandemic. I watched him drive an
economy into the ground, and I watched Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris pick those pieces up. And I think, for
all of us, we make decisions, we reanalyze afterwards. I
think the thing that drew me to this ticket, and
(06:11):
I think what the Vice President's talking about is that
her values on these hasn't changed. They have been working
for the middle class, They've been doing all they can
to make sure prices come down. They're protecting reproductive care.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
So it makes me want to ask you, do you
think that Biden's done everything right?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Well, look, I don't know if any of us do
everything right, but I can tell you he's done everything
in the best interest in the American public.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, how about it. That's just amazing, guys, amazing. Tim
Walls crashed and burned trying to explain why he lied
about carrying weapons in war and being in Hong Kong
during the Tienamen Square massacre.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You call yourself a knucklehead.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I call yourself with a knucklehea because you've made some statements
that just aren't true in a common about weapon of
the war that I carried in war which you didn't.
You said, and you were in Hong Kong doing a
tan and then square massacre when you weren't. You kind
of chalked at all up the bad grammar or getting
the dates wrong. But your opponents that you lied to
make yourself look better, do they have a point?
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Well, look, thirty five years ago, got the opportunity to
be in Hong Kong, be in China, learned a lot
about it, served twenty four years in the National Guard,
passionately in an instance talking about gun violence in schools
on an instance there. Proud of the service that I've done,
Proud to be a teacher in that classroom, Proud to
have been very public all these years and owning it
(07:33):
when I said, look, I was there in August of
eighty nine, and I think what you see here you
saw in Minnesota. I've been elected eight times here. These
things have been very public for folks here. They see
the results of things that we passed. We see a
state that's the top five state for business. We see
third best state, top three state for raising a child,
and we've got the best healthcare. And I think the policies,
(07:54):
whether it be dealing with China and understanding China's human
rights record. What you can be certain there is that
Kamala Harrison and I aren't gonna, you know, pick dictators.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
On speed dial.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Seeshi Jinping is doing a good job during COVID, as
Donald Trump said. And I think those lessons learned over
a lifetime of being very public, whether it's in the
classroom of being elected.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, and what's happened since this blundering media blitz, guys,
Kamala's pulling's gone down, and it keeps going down, and
you can expect more of it.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
Kenny has always thought the best things in life are free,
free plus tax. Of course, Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
There is this story from over the weekend of Governor
Tim Walls and his pheasant hunted trip.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
This is from the Daily Caller.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Tim Walls of Minnesota appears to have a difficult time
loading a semi atomic shotgun. Sorry, there's a typo here
in the story. I think they mean an automatic shotgun.
Probably not atomic, right, but that'd be incredible. Yeah, I'll
take two atomic shotguns. Please know it was an automatic shotgun.
It's a video. Have you guys seen it on social media.
He goes on a pheasant hunting trip. There's two videos.
(09:09):
In one video, you see him with dozens of people
all dressed up to go hunting, but none of them
are holding a gun. And you know, just to make
sure nobody would accuse him of not understanding guns, they
posted a second video where he is holding a gun
and boy, he's having a tough time with it. Walls
took part in the annual Governor's Pheasant Hunting Opener in
near Sleepy I, Minnesota on Saturday. This was to kick
(09:33):
off the season for the Upland gang Game Bird. It's
a you know, pheasant hunting, that's what they're talking about.
So they posted a video to social media. And in
the video, just to put it bluntly, he is struggling
to load the shotgun. Wall said as he tries to
load shells into the shotgun magazine. It never fits quite right,
(09:55):
he says, Hey, folks, there's a sorry, I hang on
a second here. I got some audio this but played
the wrong sound bite. Let's try that again.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Please, it never fits quite right.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You never played right.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
It's not quite right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
How do you get a la is?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
This was a Burretta eight four hundred.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
So he knew that he knew it was a Bretta
eight four hundred. He said he bought it when he
was shooting a lot of trap. He explained that he
selected the gun due to a patented kickoff feature that
reduced the recoil. He said, it doesn't hurt your shoulders
as much. A lot of people that pointed out that
his shotgun appeared to be a semi automatic Barretta A
(10:32):
four hundred xcel. It cost about two thousand dollars, while
the stock with the kickoff technology is another eleven hundred
dollars according to Bretta's website, So that is a thirty
two hundred dollars shotgun upwards. A lot of questions here
surrounding his retirement from the Minnesota National Guard in two
thousand and five have surfaced since a twenty eighteen Facebook
(10:54):
post by a retired Army Command Sergeant Major Thomas Baron's resurfaced,
which we had light on the governor's reasoning for leaving
the unit just before its lengthy deployment to Iraq.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I bet I know why he quit. He didn't want
to go to Iraq.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And here's the thing I don't blame him. I didn't
want to go to war, so I didn't join the military.
I understand. But he's gone out and made it sound
like he went to Iraq. He's gone out and made
it sound like he went to Afghanistan. He claims to
have PTSD, which apparently got while he was in Italy
eating a bowl of linguini.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Walls.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Did not bag any pheasants during the annual hunt, according
to the AP, didn't shoot one bird, which makes you
wonder did he really shoot while he was up there.
He's not the only guy in Kamala's world that's creating
problems for her. Breitbart dot Com today reporting on Vice
President Kamala Harris's husband, Doug m Hoff. Doug get drunk
(11:52):
and beat a woman and force another woman to get
an abortion m Hoff. Those are the allegations against him.
He is facing incredible allegation of assaulting a former girlfriend
and engaging in misogynist and sexist misconduct while he was
running a law firm in La. Wow, that's weird. It's
not like lawyers from Los Angeles to act like scumbags. Oh,
(12:14):
I guess that's exactly what they do. To the surprise,
of No One. During a Friday morning interview, MSNBC's Joe
Scarborough not only chose to dismiss these troubling, incredible allegations
as tabloid stuff, but rather than ask America's second gentleman
to denying them on record, Joe chose instead to basically
(12:34):
ask Doug Emhoff how he can remain so awesome with
all this injustice hurled against him. It's also notable that
rather than use this opportunity to deny the allegations, am
Hoff just declared them as a distraction.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
About you, saying that tabloid's stories about your personal life,
saying it should be front and center. He's saying it
about your wife and making an.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Incredibly crude and loose suggestions.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
About her past life. I'm just curious.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I know I seem like a very zen, mindful person,
but I think I'd be pissed off, and I'm just wondering,
how do you how do you all stay centered? How
do you stay disciplined and not really go off and
not really pushed back hard at these things.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
We don't have time to be pissed off. We don't
have time to focus on It's all a distraction it's
designed to try to get us off our game?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Does it get you off? Now?
Speaker 11 (13:40):
All we are doing, all we talk about is a selection.
We understand the stakes, we understand the responsibility.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Wow, guys, you got to admit democrats got it good,
don't they. How about a little recap here the allegations
of Doug M. Hoff, the man currently redefining manusculinity. According
to Jen Pisasi MSNBC will, he was married to his
first wife and around that time em Hoff not only
had an affair, he had an affair with the nanny,
(14:08):
the person they put in charge of taking care of
their own children. Apparently he got her pregnant. He doesn't
deny this, but what happened to the baby is anyone's guest.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
No one knows.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Three sources have come forward to tell the story of
how he slapped his then girlfriend so hard in twenty twelve.
The poor woman spun all the way around through a spokesperson.
Em Hoff denies the allegations, but he did not take
the opportunity to deny it himself, certainly not in that interview.
I still can't believe Jen Psasi said that this guy
(14:43):
was redefining masculinity in the United States.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Something that is all that has also been an important
part or an interesting part of how people have talked
about your role here is how your role has reshaped
the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you've planned
on that, but you are an incredibly support Has that
been an evolution for you? And do you think that's
part of the role you might play as first gentlemen.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
It's funny, I've started to think a lot about this.
I've always been like this. My dad was like this,
and to me, it's the right thing to do. You know,
support women, it's mutual. Like with Kamin I, it's we
support each other. We have each other's back. And I've
said many times when we lift up women, we support women,
(15:28):
whether it's pay, equity, childcare, family leave, and all these
issues that you know, this post stops healthscape. Women should
not be less than Women should not have less rights
and be treated differently. That's not the American way. And
it's also not like if some women succeeds, some dude
out there is suffering. It's not a one to one relationship.
(15:50):
When we lift up women, we lift up families, we
lift up the economy. And when I was in the
business world. It lifted up the organizations that I would stop.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I'm far from a perfect person, my friends, but if
somebody accused me of laying hands on a woman in anger,
I would want to defend myself, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You know these people.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
The sources that made these points about him also added
some seedy allegations to the already ced story of the
knocked up nanny. Em Hoff allegedly told this ex girlfriend
he paid knocked up nanny eighty thousand dollars in hush money,
and then nanny accused him of causing her to have
a miscarriage. Em Hoff is facing credible accusations of borish, abusive,
(16:36):
and sexist behavior, and all this happened while he was
running an LA law firm two thousand and six to
two thousand and seven. Here's a here's another report.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Here, let me read it to you. Here.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
The allegations paint a picture of someone who is the
complete opposite of the feminist ally the media selling does.
One corporate news outlet said em Hoff is redefining masculinity,
maybe redefining it back to the Madman era of the
nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
A female partner at the firm told a top male colleague.
One senior former staffer claim m Hoff bragged about yelling
get the f out of my office to a female
partner he had put her in her place, reports The
Daily Mail. What's worse was he bragged about it to
the management at Venable and they were a guest. He's
(17:27):
an ahole, a misogynist. That that's who does it. That's
what the report says. End quote. One ex staffer told
the Daily Mail quote it was well known at the
law firm that Doug Emhoff was very flirty and that
if you weren't flirty backer didn't respond positively, then you
were on the.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
S list as word for poop.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Rather than address these issues like a professional, Joe Scarborough
interviewing Doug m Hoff spins potential female victims into a
virtue for m Hoff, a virtue as in, gosh, you're
so awesomely awesome and how you handle all the bad
Orange man. Watching Joe Scarborough debase himself is just brutal,
isn't it embarrassing? Absolutely pathetic?
Speaker 9 (18:10):
America, the land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.
Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Hello, Hi, Hello, what is that royalty free music?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Oh? That could only mean we're live streaming on social
media while we're also on the radio. You're probably thinking,
I don't recognize that song. Yeah, that's it's a telltale
sign we're on. If we're live on the radio, I
could play anything I want. I could play Peter Gabriel,
I could play Nirvana, I could play Tupac Shakur. But
when we live stream on social media, we have to
play songs like this. What's that? This song is called
(18:45):
Queen of the Rock by some it's nobody. It's royalty free.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm Kenny Webster, Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's Columbus Day for some of us, Indigenous People Day
for others. I gotta think if you're deciding between people
who when you're looking at someone that celebrates Indigenous People Day,
you know how they vote. When you're looking at somebody
that celebrates Columbus Day, it's probably a little more confusing.
But at any rate, I do know this. I know
that I live in Southeast Texas. I live in a
(19:13):
place where there are a lot of Catholic people here,
but they're mostly Hispanic. A lot of our listeners in
Louisiana are Catholic and they're actually Italian. And anyway, whether
you support Columbus Day or Indigenous People Day, I'm sure
we all agree we don't want to be poisoned by
carcinergic chemicals. There's a place out in the suburbs here
of Houston, the Deer Park area, where there's a business
called Pemex Pemex. Last week there was a massive chemical
(19:36):
leak right over there in Deer Park. Not the first
time that this has happened, this time too, fatalities, more
than three dozen.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Injuries, and an unknown number.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Of health effects from the air quality lived. I'm generally
pro oil and gas. I'm pro energy industry. I'm for it.
I'm you know, I'm nuanced enough to understand there's pros
and cons to everything. I think oil and gas is good.
I think carbon fuel is good, but we certainly I'm
against pollution.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
When people are talking about climate change.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Often people on the left will devolve the conversation into
a they'll say, well, you're not against pollution, like pollution?
Who said anything about pollution? I'm definitely against pollution. Back
in twenty nineteen, before the pandemic, it feels like it
was so long ago we barely remember it. We had
a new Harris County judge. If you're not from Southeast Texas,
or to those of you that listen to us or
(20:27):
watch us on social media that or not from Texas,
maybe you don't know what a county judge is. It's
not like a judicial appointment. It's not a judge in
the traditional sense. In Texas, a county judge is sort
of like the executive.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Of the county. It's like the mayor of the county,
very important person.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
And our county judge in Southeast Texas is a teenage communist. Okay,
I'm exaggerating a little bit, but her name is Lena Hidalgo,
and Lena Hidalgo is a sort of got elected by
accident the Beto o'rourk wave of twenty eighteen, so she's
brand new in twenty nineteen. We didn't know that much
about her at the time, and there was a big
chemical fire out in the suburbs. Selena Hidalgo gets on
(21:05):
TV and she makes her first one of the first
times any of us had ever seen around television, and
she always she's always looking panicked and talking like, oh
I don't I talk like this because I'm Lena Hidalgo
and I'm terrified of cameras, and like they should have
really made her take a community college speech class before
they had her stand in front of millions of people
and deliver important, life threatening information. But at any rate,
(21:28):
she came out and she told us, after this big
fire out in Deer Park at the time, everything's fine,
the air quality is fine, You're gonna be It's okay,
don't worry about it. And you know, she's a progressive Democrat,
so we figure she must be telling us the truth
because if there's one thing progressive Democrats love to do,
it's take a crap on corporate America and in industry
(21:48):
and oil and gas and that sort of thing. Right,
lo and behold, some local journalists gets in his car,
drives out to Deer Park and he goes to the
air quality testing facility because it turns out there is one,
and he asks the person in charge of the facility
if it's true that the error is safe, and the
guy says, oh, I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I have no idea, And the journalist said, what do
you mean you have no idea?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
As it turns out the air quality testing facility had
been offline for like a month, I don't remember how long.
It's arbitrary, it hadn't been working for a while. My
point is, now the same problem seems to be happening again,
and you can't blame people for wondering if they could
trust local elected officials, because like a lot of you,
I don't want to get cancer from just walking around outside.
(22:31):
So here to help us answer that question is a
local attorney, mister Chad Pinkerton. Chad, Generally, attorneys are not
people we turn to for trustworthy knowledge.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
But you're but you're not. You don't You don't.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Have a You don't have a horse in this race,
do you. You've won lawsuits against these guys in the past,
but on this particular issue where you personally involved in
it right now, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Well, I mean I'm personally involved in and to the
extent that I do have some people within the community
and workers that have reached out to my law firm
to represent them. So I will be involved in the
lawsuit that's going to be moving forward probably in the
next few weeks. But I think I'm pretty unbiased on
the issue. I don't like pollution either. I think pollution
(23:14):
is bad. I think the public officials that lie to
the public is a bad thing. I think corporations that
don't take care of the safety of the community and
their workers is a bad thing. I don't think anybody
can really disagree with those things, so I can be
unbiased to that extent, but I am a personal injury lawyer,
so I'm going to side on the side of the people.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Okay, I get it. It's what you do for a living,
so grain as salt on all this one. I just
want people to know what they're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Here.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
You seem like a very smart guy. You went to
University of Houston. You're a conservative, You're a god loving American.
You're not You're not a communist. You're not against industry.
You know you want people to have jobs. You want
us to have access to life sustaining energy.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Right percent. I agree with what you just said, although
I do sue chemical companies and refineries often. I am
pro oil and gas. I am from Texas. I was
born and raised here, so oil and gas is important
to our state, and I think that you can do
it safer and when accidents happen, you're responsible for those accidents.
If you pollute a community, you're responsible for that. But
(24:14):
I'm not for you not making money as a corporation
in the oil and gas field. I want that to
be good for Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
It is interesting to me that the same people that
will tell you climate change is real, oil and gas
is evil. But we shouldn't put any restraints on China,
and we should. We should produce all of our goods
and services there. All of our products should come from
a country where they're building new coil coal burning power
plants every single day.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
We haven't built one in decades. They're they're building them
as we speak.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Yeah, it seems a little bit unfair. Uh, But I mean,
don't get me into the climate uh change conversation. I
mean that's all political. I mean, sure, that's that is political. Sure,
that's all political. It's a reason to uh restrict Americans
and tax Americans and and none of that is important
to Americans right now. But I mean, there are some
(25:04):
people that believe in climate change and it's gonna flood
or we're gonna burn up or whatever. It's not gonna
happen in our lifetimes or the next generation or the
next generation or the next generation. I think that it's
just a political talking point and it's annoying.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
All right, So what is going on in Deer Park
right now? Because this matters. There's a lot of people
that live out there. They're average people that moved there
for affordable homes. They commute to the city for jobs.
But all is not well out there, is it?
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Well? Deer Park is a great community, and a lot
of industrial workers work out there because they work in
the refineries and plants in Galveston County, in that particular
area of Harris County. Hard working individuals. They want to
raise their families in peace, They want to send their
kids to good schools. They want to live in a
home and live the American dream. Hardworking guys that are
(25:53):
guys and gals that work twelve hour shifts, seven to
fourteen days in a row. Okay, So these are good people.
What they are, what they do deserve is an environment
to live in. You can't just pollute their environment and
expect them to just be like, Okay, that's fine. I
chose to live in Deerport Park, so you can poison me.
And a lot of that does go on in that industry,
(26:15):
and this particular incident was at pem X, which is
a Mexican based company, and they had a release that
happens in the oil and gas industry process, safety is
very important. You got to keep your safety guidelines in check.
You got to follow the rules and the procedures to
make sure this doesn't happen. This particular release was a
(26:35):
dangerous chemical compound, hydros and sulfide, and when released in
a large quantity in a small area, it's deadly, like
people lose their consciousness, they die, And two people did
die in this particular incident. Thirty five other workers were
triodds and sent to the hospital. Members of the community
were harmed, headaches, dizziness, you know, difficulty breathing, those sorts
(26:59):
of thought things. So when this does happen, it's newsworthy
because this is a chance to put the company under
the microscope for what they actually did and did not do. Then,
if you're going to improve safety, you have to use
instants like this to correct behavior, and that's my job.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Okay, So generally something like this shouldn't be political. We
all agree we don't want people to be poisoned to death.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Sadly, it is political, right, and you expect Republicans to
defend these companies.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You expect that that's traditionally.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
What we've come to find the lobbyists from these companies
seem to donate to Republicans. So I can't help but
notice a lot of politicians are very quiet about this
right now. But what's confusing to me is where are
the Democrats. Isn't this when Democrats are supposed to be
criticizing these people. It seems like people like Rodney Ellis,
Lena Hidalgo, the local democrats here, are they also in
(27:52):
bed with these companies?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Well, I don't know if they're in bed, but you
hadn't heard a word about it, right, You hadn't have
them come out and take a stance. Again, it's this
kind of behavior. And when we have two families that
lost loved ones and not a peep out of some
of these Democrats. You know, sometimes I think the Democrats
are you know, they got their hand in the in
the kitty too much, like they want the money, right, okay,
(28:15):
and sometimes the money follows the business. Uh, And that's
a real problem. Look, Uh, any elected official should be
doing and when doing their job is to protect the
public or educate the public, and that's your primary role.
And when you're not executing that primary role, in my mind,
that's a problem. I don't care if you're a Republican
(28:37):
or a Democrat. It's you know, what's happening too much
in our country is we have become numb to the
fact that it's okay for politicians to uh be out
for the bottom dollar for themselves. They're getting rich off
the American taxpayer, and that that bothers me.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I mean too, Yeah, that's not capitalism.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
If somebody goes out and they pay a public official
to look the other way while they poison the water
or while they light a fire, and then if your
hair's falling out, if your skin's turning red, if your
livestock and your pets are dying because they're just standing
around outside, and someone walks up and goes, well, you
just hate capitalism.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's not capitalism.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
This is it's clearly supposed to be illegal. You have
a right to private property. Your private property rights extend
to the air around your home. You're not supposed to
get poisoned to.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Death goes straight up to space, so around your private property.
But it's not even just that it's your your access
to the public too. So you're driving around town, you're
going to pick up your kids at school, your kids
are playing at recess. If if you ever plant that's
poisoning the air around your children, everybody should be angry. Right.
(29:49):
That should not be a political issue. That should be
one hundred percent an individual's right to protect their family.
But sometimes that just goes completely un ignored these days.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
All right, So the problems we have in dear Park
here in Texas remind me a lot of Palaestine, Ohio.
You may recall a little while back, early I guess
it was a first or second year as the Biden administration,
early in his first half. Yeah, a train derails out
in rural Ohio, right, and they light all the chemicals
on fire. Same thing what I just described starts happening.
People's hair starts falling out. Their dogs are dying, the
(30:20):
livestock's falling over something, plants are dying. Something's clearly wrong.
And lo and behold, the EPA doesn't care. The Biden
administration doesn't care. Pete Booty Jig, the Transportation secretary, he
doesn't seem to care. Those are Democrats and a lot
of people at the time thought, okay, well, you know,
it's hard for them to care because the people affected
(30:41):
by it are all Trump supporters. Did you follow that case?
Do you know much about it?
Speaker 6 (30:44):
I did, and the response by the government in that
particular case was horrific. Right, They made a decision to
extinguish the poisonous chemicals by burning it. Well, that creates
a dangerous situation for everybody around that area. They didn't
properly evacuate. Then you saw no response in the following
(31:07):
weeks and months to cure the problem, and everybody that's
been harmed by that you don't even hear about it anymore.
It's hard for those people to bring lawsuits because of
the some of the federal protections against the companies involved
in the federal government. So what you have is a
situation where a group of individuals are just left in
a disaster zone, and I don't know how that community
(31:30):
ever recovers.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Right, Okay, I get your point there. It's frustrating, right.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
The good news is people do win these things like
there is it is it's hard to believe this is truly,
you know, a David versus Glaiat situation, But people actually
can win these lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
You've won them.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I've won many of them, right, I've won many of
these exposure type cases. I won one in federal court
in Galveston County years back. Another company, it was BP
at the time, had released some poisonous gas. A bunch
of workers at Dow Chemical got sick and hurt, and
they released the chemical for weeks. They covered it up
(32:09):
and went down there in Galveston County and won that one.
But you can lose them too. Now, lawyers like me,
people don't recognize that we invest money in the case
to go fight for our clients, and if we don't win,
we don't get paid all.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Right, not counting the money that you won. How much
money have you lost going to war with these companies?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
M I don't know if I can say I've lost
for figure them out. I would say I figure them out.
It's definitely in the sixth figure six figures. Say no more,
my man. My guest right now is Chad Pinkerton, local attorney.
Quick break will be right. Oh, what were you gonna say?
I don't like to say I lost, but I guess
it's true. I have lost financially on a few of them.
(32:51):
But I don't feel like I've lost the fight for
my people, and I do the best I can.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
All Right, when we get back, we're gonna talk about
pick laws. Have you ever said a how do I
explain this not a photo of Dick Cheney. We'll explain
after pursuit of that penis radio coming now, juice.
Speaker 9 (33:07):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
All right, we're back. Greetings kids.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Free speech is a touchy subject pun intended for this segment.
You have a right to self expression. You have a
right to religious freedoms. You have a right to be
a journalist.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Right. You're not allowed to lie. You're not allowed to.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Defame people, at least you know, certainly not a private citizen.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Maybe a public figure. If you want.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Satire and parody, that seems to be protected speech for
some reason. Women's nipples real touchy subject. In some places
in the country, ladies could just whip out their nipples
wherever they want, right, and in.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Other places they can't.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
You see political protests from time to time, you'll see
young I always wondered who was it that convinced young
women that young adult women that the way to piss
off for public is to take your boobs out at
a protest. Hey, these guys hate abortions. Let's piss them
off by showing them our nipples. I don't think it works, ladies,
but okay, Hey no, I'm here for it. Whip out
(34:12):
your boobs if you want. I think you have a
right to. I find it odd that men can show
their nipples but women can't. I'm not as socially conservative
as some of our radio listeners are.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I don't have an issue with that. I think it
should be legal.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
It feels weird to see myself on camera wearing a
cruciffix around my neck while I talk about talk. I'm
gonna put this away for just a second here, but
the necklace around my neck For those of you, they
can't see me. But at any rate, so the laws
are a little confusing when it comes to that. A
while back, they came up with laws about revenge porn. Again,
this is a touchy subject. U pun intended. If somebody
(34:48):
shares naked photos with you and then you break up
with that person later on, you're not allowed to post
those photos online. Not in every state, but in many
states because it's against the law, especially if it's for revenge.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
What about that other thing that men sometimes send photographs of.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Rooster picks?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I think that's the best way to explain this one,
photos of your junk. I never understood this one. You know,
men and women are different. Women don't want to see
a picture of your genitals. Boys probably not unless they
request it. I'm guessing you know again, I'm painting in
broad drugs here. We're not all made the same, We're
not all we don't all like the same flavor of
ice cream, do we. But there's a lot of people,
(35:28):
there's a lot of women out there that are very
repulsed by an unsolicited photo of genitalium. Now you might
think to yourself that, hey, first Amendment, I could send
this picture if I want, I could post it anywhere
that I want.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Turns out, not necessarily. It's kind of a gray area. Here.
Here to help.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Explain it to me, a guy who is an expert
on genital photos, Chad Pinkerton, how many.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Of you sent out, uh, no comment?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
No, Chad, it's illegal.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
Right, it's illegal in thirty five states.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Why thirty five?
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Well, not all the states have adopted that type of law.
I mean, every state gets to make their own law,
and thirty five of them that chose to say, listen,
if you send an unsolicited picture of your junk, then
you've committed a criminal offense, and Texas is one of those.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Okay, so you you become personally connected to this controversy.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Why is that?
Speaker 6 (36:22):
Well, actually it happened by accident, right, So a client
called and said that she got a picture of a
man's junk and did not ask for it, and then
sent me the text messages. And it really wasn't the
junk picture that struck me. It was actually pretty small
and I don't know if it I don't know if
(36:43):
you want to send that one. But anyways, his was small,
but some of the language that he was including and
the text message were super offensive. I mean, this guy
was talking about doing threesomes, asking her to get her
her niece involved, who was eighteen, and just disgusting behavior.
But so because of the behavior that I've read in
(37:05):
the text message messages, I decided, look gonna, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna take action against this guy because during my research,
I found out, hey, that's illegal in Texas. It's a
criminal offense, although I'm going to pursue this civilly. When
there's a criminal offense in Texas, like sexual assault and
stuff like that, you can sue them civilly also, so
(37:26):
I took that action.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Okay, look, I'm just gonna try to play white Devil's
advocate hearing out that I have a choice. But how
is this not a First Amendment issue? How is this
not how is this not free speech?
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Well, first Amendment, there are restrictions on lued behavior, right,
So leued behavior can be criminalized in different states. So
you have a first Amendment right under the constitution. In
the state of Texas gives you that same First Amendment right,
but leued behavior is not included in that. So if
you are do something that's defined by the state as
luede behavior, then it can be criminalized. And then that's
(37:58):
the difference. Right. So we have boundaries that every state
sets up for their citizens, and one of the boundaries
that thirty five states have chosen to do at this
point is listen, guys, you can't send u unsolicited pictures
of your junk to women. And I think it really
came about by this issue with older men sending it
(38:21):
to younger girls, and I think that that was what
the states were trying to control.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Wow, okay, so this never goes the other way, Chad.
There's never, as far as I could tell, and I
am not an expert on this topic. As a public figure,
I try to, you know, make sure there's no naked
pictures of me out there. You never know, right, you
never know, well, you never know you're in a locker
room or something, or you know, walking around you have
no idea who's right. There's cameras and microphones everywhere all
(38:47):
the time, constantly. But I tried for me not But
all that being said, I noticed it never goes in
the other direction. Women are not sending unsolicited pictures of
their junk.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
They're not. Usually it's the guys eliciting the pictures and
the women trying to figure out where they want to
send that picture. Right, But no, I don't. I don't
see anything very often of women sending unsolicited pictures of
they're junk.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Isn't it weird how we have to write laws that
affect men and women equally, even though men and women
are clearly different.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Right, I'll give you an example.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
If a guy got that photo in his text message,
Would you do you think there is a guy on earth? Maybe, okay,
maybe a married guy who had to pretend he was
really offended by it so his wife wouldn't get But
do you think single men there's one guy out there
that would be.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Mad about this?
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Probably no complaints, right, Probably send me more pictures.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
All right, here's another one. I just learned about this.
You're a lawyer. Maybe you know something about this.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
The R word.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
People are very delicate about the R word, so I
won't use it, even though it doesn't personally offend me.
Mentally challenged, mentally handicapped is the word I'm going to
use here.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
It is a Did you know?
Speaker 3 (39:54):
It is against the law in most states in America
for a person like you and I. I'm guessing you're
very smart. You probably have an above average IQ. Maybe
you and I have that in common. You know, not
smart enough to not be on this radio station. But
you know, did you know it is against the law
for men like us to make love, perform the beast
of two backs with somebody who is mentally challenged with
(40:16):
a woman.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
I think the idea behind that, I mean, I don't
want to get legal with you is that a person
with that level of IQ it doesn't have the ability
you actually consent. So if you can't get consent, then
you can't. It's just like any other situation of sexual assault.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
All right, I want you to think deeply about this
for a minute.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Okay, reverse this now that they don't want men like
us to exploit women. Right, do you think there is
a mentally challenged adult male alive in America that would
be pleased to find out that any woman that gets
in bed with him is going to.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Go to jail for it.
Speaker 6 (40:52):
I don't think they would.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
So you think that's kind of cruel, Chad? Don't you
think that's a little like think about it? You're you
have a seventy five Q the world. Everything's complicated and
hard for you, pun intended. But if you were to
go out if a woman, if an able, bodied, intelligent
woman has sex with you, don't worry man with mental handicaps,
She's definitely going to jail for that.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Doesn't that seem kind of cruel?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Chad?
Speaker 6 (41:16):
It does seem very cruel. It does seem very cruel.
But you know, I can't debate how these laws come about.
You know, once they're a law, My job is to
look at the law and then apply the law to
a lawsuit. So it's hard for me to say that
I do believe that you should have consent in every category.
I mean we have if you're underage, I mean, that's
(41:38):
law is not just restricted to people with low IQ.
If you're underage, you can't consent to having sex with
someone that's overage. It's called sessittory rape. So you can't
do that. So that death law has been on the
books for one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
All right, one more law and then okay, at don't
you think, considering that men and women are not the same,
it's kind of unfair for a guy to put a
dress on and join a women's field hockey team or
girls field hockey.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Isn't that kind of unfair?
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Like or a powerlifting Isn't it kind of unfair for
a guy to put a miniskirt on and say, Okay,
I'm a woman. Now I'm gonna compete in Olympic powerlifting.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
So what drives me crazy is we spent decades and
decades trying to facilitate female sports, and in the last
three years, what we see is this destruction of female
sports by allowing men, genetic men to compete against women.
It doesn't make any sense. Women should have their own
venue to play their sports and compete with other women.
(42:39):
And a dude that dresses up like a girl or
claims their transgender and wants to play in the female
arena is just ludicrous to me. I don't get it.
I don't get how anybody thinks that's fair. There's a
big lawsuit going on right now about a male who
wanted to play female volleyball and one of the Carolinas.
(43:01):
They made it a law that you can't be a
genetic male and play volleyball in a female arena, So
that male then transferred to California, where the laws weren't
the same, so he could again play with females. It
makes no sense to me, and the fact that we're
allowing sports for females to be destroyed like this is
(43:26):
unfatholed me. I don't even know how people excuse it,
but it's it's just annoying.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
I do think as a man, though, the law about
mentally challenged men having any woman that has sex with
them get arrested. That bothers me a little more than
the female sport thing.
Speaker 6 (43:40):
Does I don't know. I have three daughters.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Well, so hey, fair enough, and I don't have any
and I don't have any and I'm kind of dumb.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
So hey, Chad Pikerton, you're a very good lawyer.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
You're a very nice guy. One last question for you.
Columbus Day are Indigenous People's Day?
Speaker 6 (43:56):
Well, Columbus Day. I'm a conservative, but I don't mean
any offense to anybody else. But it's cold this day.
I've so celebrated Columbus Day for every year I was
ever in school, as a as a youth, and there's
I don't see any problem with it. I don't know
why we have to tear down people in order to
build other people up.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
I feel the same way. We can have Indigenous People
Day tomorrow. We still won't do anything for either holiday,
but wear a shirt and post of memes. So what
difference does it make?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Chad? If people want to hire you, how do they
get ahold of you?
