Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack Gan of Government Sucks, Suit of Happiness Radio is
do up Liberty and freedom will make you smile, or
for suit of Happing and us on your radio toil,
just as cheeseburgers liberate fries.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, all right, so we just found out some hotels
have started offering guests ghost hunting kits for Halloween. Although
fair warning, if you use a black light in a
Las Vegas hotel, you're gonna find a lot scarier things
than ghosts. Don't do it, you know, it's very gross. Hi,
I'm Kenny Webster. Guests over the next hour include Daniel

(00:46):
Turner from Power the Future. Apparently there is a cancel
campaign involving New York Times and Media Matters if you're
familiar with them a watchdog group, it's actually just a
group of liberals that pretend to get offended by things
and then try to cancel you and Daniel Turner will
be giving us the latest on that. Also coming by

(01:06):
in the next hour. Here, my buddy Tim mathis a
very funny stand up comedian, is gonna be here. He
not surprisingly wants to weigh in on the Tony Hingecliff thing,
but also p Diddy and a handful of other stuff.
Apparently Jennifer Hanniston just announced who she's gonna be endorsing.
It's so exciting, guys, you're not gonna believe. You're not
gonna believe who Jennifer Aniston is endorsing. You stick around
for that. As if you don't already know, Like I

(01:28):
don't even have to tell you, you don't need to know.
Even if you didn't already know, you already know. But
we'll get to all that real soon. I am speaking
a stand up comedy. I am hosting a comedy show
for those of you that live in the Houston area
or you're anywhere near the Houston area. We have a
lot of listeners in Tyler and Waco and Corpus Christy.
Drive on in a week from this Sunday where you're
hosting a stand up comedy show at bad Asstronaut Brewing Company.

(01:51):
You can get your tickets at wheelchairsfo Warriors dot org
under the events section, or you can also get them
using the Walton Johnson smartphone app. I'm live on social
media right now. I'm showing what our app looks like.
You can download it for free in the Google Play
Store or the Apple app store, so get it?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'm live on social media right now. You'll notice I'm
not wearing a costume. And it's not because I don't
love Halloween. I do. I do love Halloween. I had
two costumes this year, and I just didn't wear one
of them to work today. Last weekend, as a lot
of you know, I already told this story, so I
won't tell it again. Me and my girlfriend went to
Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado and we dressed up as
cops and hung out at a rave with hippies and

(02:29):
scared everybody. It was very scary because I don't like cops.
And then, but I was gonna go as I had
like a top gun outfit I was gonna wear today.
But then, I'm not gonna lie to you. When I
woke up this morning and went to work at four am,
I just forgot it was Halloween. So anyway, here I
am standing before you, just wearing my regular guy clothes.
But today is Halloween, and apparently Joe Biden has a
really clever costume picked out. He's pretending to be the president.

(02:53):
It's so funny, guys, You've got it. You really you'd
think he really thought he was the president if you
saw this costume. But you know what, I enjoyed the
mom and I know a lot of you have already
seen this. You probably love this Donald Trump when as
a garbage man? Wow, you get why? Right again, I'm
not going to waste airtime telling you stuff you already know.
Tony Hingecliff the stand up comedy bit Joe Biden called

(03:14):
us all garbage. First we were Bible clingers, and then
we were what deplorables, and then we were Nazis, and
then we were garbage. So we're clinging garbage, Nazi deplorables
on it. It's a lot of words. But they hate you.
They hate you. Act accordingly. That's what I think you
should do. But Donald Trump yesterday actually kept on. He
actually kept his Oh great, is this thing not working?

(03:35):
Did I not set I didn't set it up? Hang on,
there we go, Okay, good, Sorry I didn't have my
computer set up correctly. Donald Trump yesterday actually wore the
garbage man costume to give a speech. And when you
find out why he wore it is very funny.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
And then I got in the car and I'm driving
over here, and I have this still on and I
come into the arena and I say, where's my jacket?
I want to get out of this stage. And they said,
it would be unbelievable if you could.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Wear it on stage, I said.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
And I said, no way.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I got twenty five thousand people standing outside.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I got all these people here.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
There's no way I'm wearing it on stage. They said,
oh okay, sir, I said, get me my jacket. But
if you did, you know it actually makes you look thinner, I.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Said, And they got me.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I said, I want to wear.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
It on stage. Come on, that's pretty funny, guys. Come on,
Trump is funny, isn't he. He's legit funny. To run
for president, you have to be an egomaniac. You have
to be a Magamo maniac. You have to be a
little narcissistic. You have to to think you should be
the most powerful political leader in the free world. You
absolutely have to do that. But you got to admit,

(05:05):
for a guy that is supposed to be that, he
is very humble. Make it jokes like I thought it
was funny, you know. Anyway, Regardless, this has been a
tough week for this woman on the screen right here.
For those of you listening on the radio, you can't
see what we're looking at. We're looking at very important
black lesbian. My friend Jesse refers to her as a
diversity higher. No, she's just a very important black lesbian.

(05:27):
That's what she really is, the most important black lesbian.
And boy did Kareeine Jean Pierre have a tough day yesterday.
Yesterday she got all dressed up in her cutest green
jacket just in time for Saint Patrick's Day, which doesn't
happen for several months. And then she tried to talk
away the thing that we all know. We saw you.
Everybody knows that Joe Biden called them garbage, but kind

(05:49):
of like when he looked at his wristwatch during that
memorial ceremony for the dead service members who the military
members who died at the Kabble Airport. Remember he looked
at his watch and then the White House Press secretary
told us, no, no, that never happened. Well, he also
didn't call you garbage, apparently, just address.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
The President's comments yesterday referring to Trump's supporters garbage.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
Thanks a couple of things.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporter's garbage.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
The only garbage I see floating down there is your supporters.
It's so great, guys, stop it right there. Clearly he
called us garbage. She knows that, she knows when you think,
if they're willing to lie about this, they're probably willing
to lie to you about an awful lot of other
things too. You come home, you're a dad, you're a mom,

(06:40):
you come home, or a gender neutral parent. I don't
mean to assume I know. You come home and you
see your child, your offspring, your adopted kid you got
from Haiti, whatever, and their face is covered in chocolate. Hey,
a little billy, or I don't mean to assume I
know your child's name, Wang, Jamal whatever it is? What
a You got chocolate all over your face for? Did
you eat? Yeah? Did you eat candy while we were gone? No, Dad,

(07:03):
I didn't eat any candy. The chocolate is on your face. No, no, no,
that's Joe Biden, Kareem Jean Pierre. Right now, they can't
talk this away. The damage is done. Pollsters are out
right now telling us undecided voters are reacting to this.
It does matter, guys. The deplorable thing really hurt Hillary Clinton.
And now CNN and other news outlets NBC News, for example,

(07:26):
they are it's funny that it's always funny when when
the White House Press Secretary tells the lie because you
expect it. But it's downright scary when people from the
media decide to stop being journalists and just join in
on the partisan talking points. Here's NBC News yesterday, Ormer, you.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
Can see former President Trump wearing that safety vest on stage,
leaning into President Biden's comment this week where you appear
to refer to Trump's supporters as garbage before quickly clarifying.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Quickly clarifying. Wait wait, wait quickly quickly, Claire, you didn't
how quickly clarify? He called us all garbage? He said it.
Damage has done. It's there. It sticks, whether you like
it or not. Sorry, sorry, I'm not sorry. That's exactly
what happened. Now, nobody took the news worse than CNN did.
Listen to this woman reacting to the news. This is

(08:16):
a CNN News reporter. I already know what this woman's
top three issues are when she goes into a ballot
box to vote and it's all abortions. Take a gander
at this. This is great. In Green Bay for us. Kristen,
what's your analysis based on what we just heard from Trump.

Speaker 8 (08:33):
Wolf.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
My analysis is exactly what we talked about before. They
are trying to milk this for every single drop that
they can. They want this to turn into what happened
in twenty sixteen when Hillary Clinton said that Trump supporters
were a basket of deplorables. I cannot stress enough how
we have spent the last three days, which has been
reiterating going over these racist file remarks that we heard

(08:54):
in the pre programming leading up to Donald Trump taking
the stage. We have talked about how Puerto Ricans have
been pulling back from Donald Try, how they have been
calling for him to issue an apology, how that he
has not condemned those remarks in any way. Now he
has slipped the script. He is trying to change the
narrative and he is trying to latch on to these guarbags.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Oh oh, here's the thing. He's not trying. It happened.
It actually happened, whether you liked it too or not.
And then Donald Trump had a very hilarious way of
seizing on the moment. There's no doubt about that. But guys,
it happened. For some reason, CNN Lady, for some reason,
the President of the United States insulting roughly half the

(09:32):
people in America matters just a little bit more to
voters than some stand up comedian pointing out how Puerto
Rico has a garbage problem. And oh, by the way,
Puerto Rico does have a garbage problem.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Joe Biden decades of giving dirty politics a bad name. Sorry,
dirty politics. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness. On
KPRC nine p fifty Houston.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Today's Halloween, Biden is dressing up as Donald Duck. At
least that's what his press secretary will tell people when
he shows up to work with no pants. Smart. I think,
I think I love Halloween. I wanted to dress like
a slutty Lauren Bobert, but no matter what I tried,
I kept just looking like regular Lauren Bobert. Don't laugh

(10:17):
at that. That's not funny. That is not funny. Seriously, though,
if you need costume ideas, like last minute costume ideas,
just wear a shirt with a dumpster fire on it
and tell people you are Tony Hingecliff's performance at Madison
Square Garden last weekend All right, that one's not quite
as funny. You know what, why don't we start off
with that topic. I have a comedian stopping by later

(10:38):
in the show, Tim Mathis, who does not think that
the audience at Madison Square Garden liked Tony Hingecliff's performance.
At this point, it doesn't even matter anymore because Joe
Biden already for five minutes Tony Hingecliffe was the most
famous comedian in America. And then Joe Biden came out
and he called everybody garbage, and then he started biting

(10:58):
babies yesterday at a Halloween So just like that, the
Puerto Rican thing didn't even really a news story anymore.
But my next guest was actually at the show. And
my next guest is actually a New Yorker. He doesn't
live there anymore. He lives on a farm in Virginia.
But Daniel Turner runs a group called Power the Future.
They focus on the energy industry, but other political stuff

(11:19):
as well. They do a lot of great work for
people on our side, I think. And Daniel, you were
actually at Madison Square Garden last weekend.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
I was, and it was great to be in my
home city. You know, my whole family still lives in
New York City. It was fantastic, and Tony Hingecliffe was
received with hoots and hollers because he spoke a New
York comedy set to a New York audience. And you know,
New Yorkers are, for lack of a better word, they're crass, right.

(11:51):
These are blue collar, a rough and tumble people who
curse and have terrible accents and make in a appropriate jokes.
And so Tony was great, as would have been Dave
Chappelle or any other comedian who's not afraid to make
jokes that make people wonder. Am I allowed to laugh

(12:11):
at that? So it was great. It was fantastic.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, I find Tony Ingecliff to be very funny, and
I didn't I thought the audience liked it as well.
I've heard other people say, no, no, no, the joke failed.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
Going on like, I don't know if you guys know this,
but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the
middle of the ocean right now.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, I think it's called Puerto Rico. Now, okay, Now,
to be fair, that island is covered in garbage. And
the reason we know that it is this isn't my opinion.
Puerto Rico has a garbage problem, and we know that
because Joe Biden's EPA and Joe Biden's FEMA put out
alerts over the last few years telling us it's in
dire straits and they're about to run out of room.

(12:50):
But then Joe Biden came along and called half the
country garbage. So I guess scandal over controversy done. Joe
Biden took the paton and ran in the other direction
with Eddie. He intercepted the failing campaign ball and he
went in and spiked it in the end zone for
Donald Trump. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
I think the most offensive thing about that joke is
thinking that Puerto Ricans can't take a joke, you know,
And as that joke offensive, absolutely, but a lot of
comedy is. And I got to tell you, as someone
who's Irish, I've heard a lot of drunk jokes. As
someone who's Italian, I've heard a lot of greasy mafia jokes.
As someone who's Catholic, I have heard more offensive jokes

(13:29):
about the Catholic saints, the Catholic traditions, pedophile priests are
some of them offensive, absolutely, But good Lord Kenny, where
are we in those world that the little children on
MSNBC and CNN like genuinely clutching their pearls and gasping
and fanning themselves. Lordy, Lordie, I can't believe the language

(13:52):
I heard from a comedian. They must have never seen
a Chappelle set right, or Richard Pryor or George Carlin.
I don't know what bubble these people live in, except
they also go to p Diddy parties, right. They also
they also have a secret life on Epstein's Island. So
I'm not going to buy the fact that we are
also a gasp at at this level of comedy.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Well, glad you cleared that up. You were actually at
the show and despite what some people think, the audience
did think it was funny. Now, all that being said,
for those that don't know, the New York Times teamed
up with this group called Media Matters. Media Matters is well,
they say it's a right watchdog group, but what they
really do is they just try to get people canceled
for a living. If you go look at their website,

(14:34):
you will find transcripts of some of my comedy parodies
that I've produced over the years, and they never get
the jokes right, which bothers me. But I'm a footnote
on that website. That website mostly talks about people like
Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro and Tim Poole and Rudy Giuliani.
And this week The New York Times did a conservative
hit piece. It just dropped. They teamed up with Media

(14:56):
Matters in an attempt to get YouTube, which is owned
by Google, to demonetize or remove people like Rudy Giuliani,
Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz, RFK Junior. They claim YouTube is
allowing these people to spread disinformation about the election because
they've gone out and cast out on election results and
you know, suggested that something weird may have happened in

(15:18):
previous elections. YouTube has now responded to the hit piece
and said we welcome a political debate. Open debates of
political ideas on our website are encouraged, especially in the
midst of election season. It sounds like Google and YouTube
understand what happened to Meta. It's hard to believe, but
some companies that are never supposed to fail can fail.
Nobody's looking at Facebook anymore. I don't know if you

(15:40):
saw this new quarterly earnings report that just came out.
But Facebook is really struggling. They demonetized, they censored, they
they shut up a lot of conservatives. I'm one of them.
I use I have a huge following on that website,
half a million people. When I post something, I'm clearly
shadow band. I don't have to wonder, I know I am.
And if it happened to Facebook, I gotta think it

(16:01):
could happen to YouTube. So YouTube is telling media editors
basically to pound sand and liberals don't know what to do. Daniel,
what's your take on this?

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, this is a very common tactic of the left.
I think it's something that god bling. There's a Trump
administration where the FCC does need to get involved, and
this is me showing that I am not an anarchist.
There is a role for government, and the role here
in the SEC and communications is that these fake groups
that present themselves as nonprofits or research groups put out

(16:33):
bogus reports, bogus stations, and they coordinate with mainstream media
to pass it off as legit journalism. In the energy space,
I see this all the time when a fake green
group like the Rocky Mountain Institute puts out a study
that says minority children are dying because of gas stoves.

(16:53):
We need to ban them. And the next thing you know,
there's an article in the New York Times that says
gas stoves are killing black and brown sholds. And then
the Biden EPA suddenly has bands starting in twenty thirty
on gas stoves and new construction. This is activism. It
is not journalism. They're doing it in this case, and Kenny,
you're next on the list because they'll come for everybody.

(17:15):
They're doing it in this case because these are the
few outlets that don't push their agenda. And those outlets
are the platform Twitter, no X, those agendas are though,
those platforms are talk radio. They did this to Rush
Limbaugh all the time, May he rest in peace. And
then a few print or online outlets that are not

(17:35):
under their thumb. And so they want you gone right.
They don't want they don't want diversity, diversity, they don't
want diversity of thought. They want everyone to push the
same agenda. And it's why nightly News on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN,
MSNBC is the exact same damn content. And we see

(17:56):
examples of this. They all come out and say the
Kamala campaign full of joy. They all come out and
say Trump is angry and old. They have the same
talking points and if you're not using them, Kenny, you
gotta go.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Daniel. You know you and I have something in common.
We're just regular guys. But we have a pretty big audience, right,
You have a huge audience online. Your group reaches a
lot of people. This is a regional radio show. Our
morning show is a regional radio show. We have listeners
around the Gulf Coast and beyond. We're not a national show.
We're certainly not the biggest show in radio. But to
your point there, our radio show. If you could bind

(18:30):
the ratings of this afternoon show and our morning show,
add up all the affiliates, we have more listeners in
a week than CNN gets primetime viewers. Now that's a
real problem for the narrative of the lips. They know
that they're supposed to matter. We're supposed to be irrelevant.
Here's another thing that's supposed to be irrelevant, small towns.
You'd a great tweeter. Yes, I want to talk to
you about this for a minute. Springfield, Ohio. We all

(18:51):
know got a lot of attention in the news because
it's a small struggling community in the heart of the
Rust Belt, and they send a bunch of Haitian migrants
there out. That's not the only way that the federal
government f's over small towns in America. There is pressure
growing right now on the Biden administration to shut down
migrant travel programs for foreig nationalities because of the stress

(19:12):
and burden it is putting on these small towns in
places like Texas, in places like Ohio, in places like Pennsylvania.
This could These migrant parole programs are starting to hurt
small towns around the country. And you'd made a point
here that this is a huge problem for progressives. You'd
think it would be a big problem for conservatives, but
you have a different take on it.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
What is that, Well, I think the progressives hate small
town America because they don't align to their values. Right.
It's in the small towns where where a lot of
your red voters come from. And when you get enough
small towns and add them up together, they are the
size of Houston. And Texas is a red state because

(19:54):
of that, and so they have to eliminate those small towns.
Small towns push land rights, and they don't like property rights.
They push gun rights. They certainly don't like gun rights, right.
They push traditional values. And so small towns in rural
America is a huge threat to a collectivism. And collectivism
the best way to achieve it is putting people in

(20:15):
a collective. That's why they love high rise buildings in
downtown Houston or in my case, downtown New York. It's
why they love projects' so why they love public schools,
because you create a collective. And when you have a collective,
everyone says the same damn thing. But if you're in
a small town in the Houston suburbs, with your own
mayor and your own city council and your own value system,

(20:35):
and you're listening to the Kenny Webster Show, you're a threat.
It'd be much better if Kenny was gone and everyone
was just in the cabal. And so, yeah, I think
this is deliberately why they're dropping migrants. I hate that word.
Why they're dropping illegal aliens in small town America. Not
just because the city's are saturated, but there's a direct

(20:56):
desire to eliminate small town America.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'd love to get one more, just one more topic
in before we get out of here. You didn't know
I was going to ask you about that, and you
didn't know I was going to ask you about this.
Jimmy Kimmel made a joke last night on his show.
I'm going to play the audio for you, vote early,
vote early. If you can't vote early, vote on time.
If you want to vote for Trump, votely, vote very
late when you're voting on Thursday or maybe Friday. Okay,

(21:22):
So he says Republicans should vote Thursday or Friday. He's
clearly kidding. I get that, but I can't help but
wonder if everybody remembers this. Not long ago, there was
a guy on Twitter. I think he was known as
Ricky Vaughan. I will tell you you know. He was
a troll on social media. Not necessarily somebody I would
align my values with, but he was a right wing troll.
They say his real name was Douglas Mackie. He got

(21:45):
sentenced to prison for making the same joke on Twitter
for sending out tweets telling liberals to vote on the
wrong day. Shouldn't according to the Justup's Department, shouldn't we
be investigating and arresting Jimmy Kimmel right now? Do you
remember this?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Do you remember it? And I saw the line that
was my first thought was, where's the outrage? Where's the
FCC coming after this? As election interference? And this is
where I do. You know, I'm always torn by this, Kenny.
And because I think at your heart you're a good person.
I think I'm a good person too. And in our
heart of hearts, we don't want to be as bad

(22:22):
as the as the left.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
We don't.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
I don't want to be the left. But you know what,
the left us uses and wields power to get their win.
And they went after that poor kid just for the
sake of shutting up the rest of us and being
afraid to post similar things on social media. Where is
the right where's the right wing? Attorney General? Where's the
right wing? Whatever? That's like, you know what, I am

(22:44):
going to make it my mission to put Jimmy Kimmel
in jail. We don't do that. And on the one hand,
I am glad we don't do that because I don't
want to live in that country. But on the other hand,
fight fire with friggin' fire, right.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, I'm with you. I don't want to live in
a country where jokes are criminalized, especially since I tell
jokes for a living. But also, by the way, didn't
we just arrest a Republican for telling the same exact joke?
But oh, I'm sorry, one of them's not Jimmy Kimmel,
Jimmy Kimmel who wore blackface on TV to make fun
of an NBA player. But whatever, who What do I know, Daniel,

(23:21):
I'm just a guy that remembers things and points out
how hypocritical all this is. Daniel, you have a great
website Power. If I wanted to look up the website
Powerthefuture dot Com on the Internet, where would I go?

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Powerthefuture dot Com? And I got to close with this.
Your radio show may be regional, but Weshlimbaugh's radio show
started as regional and he became a national force. And
the threat you are to the left is that your
show is going to grow and grow, and your influence
will grow and grow. And so your show may be regional,
but your potential is international. And that's why they'll come

(23:54):
after you. And if Kamala wins, I guarantee you they'll
come after both of us.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, I'll see at the Fever Camp. Brothers.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Screw you, I'm going to Texas and thank our lucky stars, sorry,
our lucky lone star we did. This is Knnie Webster's
pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
That Daniel Turner guys really smart. I'm gonna miss him
when the government walks him up. Boeing may exit the
space industry. The announcement caused Boeing stock to drop almost
as fast as one of their airplane doors does. So yeah,
and then a little ambitious. Your planes are falling from
the sky all over the country because your DEI policies

(24:33):
are so self destructive, and you guys want to explore
outer space. You know what I mean. It's like figure out,
you know, how to stitch socks before you make cowboy boots.
There's a level do these things right, invent the wheel
before you invent an automobile. I don't know. I had
Boeing stock, and I gotta tell you of all my
industrial military industrial stocks clearly doing the worst. But I digress.

(24:58):
I want to talk to you guys about crime for
just minute. I'm gonna put some crime stats up on
the screen here. Oh, I know, statistics are racist. These
statistics are really, really, really racist. But the news starts
off like this, and it involves New York City. In fact,
it involves me a story about me. Believe it or not.
I love talking about myself. I you know, I'm kind
of an outlaw. I'm kind of a bad boy for

(25:19):
a right wing talk radio host. I have actually been
reprimanded before for jaywalking, believe it or not. Now, it
happened in a very white city. Met information is relevant.
I was in Austin, Texas a while back, and I
crossed the street because, as you know, I live in Houston.
I used to live in Chicago. I live in some
rough towns crime. I've witnessed people getting shot before. Someone

(25:41):
once broke into the back seat in my car to
steal a basket of dirty laundry. Why would I make
that up? It would be no point. But I do
know that one time, the only time I ever got
reprimanded for jaywalking was when I was in Austin, Texas.
I was crossing the street and a cop stopped me.
He's like, you can't do that is jaywalking? And I
try to explain it. I'm sorry, sir, I'm I'm from
a city where the cops actually have problems to deal with.

(26:03):
I know here in Austin, it's real you know, it's
a bunch of rich white liberals. But where I'm from,
the cops actually have really and the cops like, oh
you're Oh, you're from real America. Sorry, I didn't know that.
Go on your way. That was over a decade ago.
Things have actually gotten a lot worse in Austin since then.
So I'm gonna climb out on a limb here, and
I'm gonna guess they probably don't worry that much about

(26:23):
jaywalking in Austin anymore, now that the streets are lined
with hypodermic needles and feces. But the point I'm getting
at here today is town hall dot Com today reports
that going forward, pedestrians in New York City can cross
the street wherever they please thanks to a new rule
that actually decriminalizes jaywalking. And if I'm not mistaken, I

(26:44):
think I have a I got a thing here. I
want to show you guys about this. Jaywalking, as you
guys know, very dangerous in a big city like New
York City because there's cars driving all over the place.
But also it's a victimless crime if there's nobody in sight.
So I want to just really stress here that I
don't think jaywalking laws kind of like you know, marijuana laws.

(27:05):
I think there are some laws we probably just don't
need to have. And I know some of you might
immediately agree disagree with me on that, but I think
no victim, no crime. That's just my take on things.
Whatever the case may be. That's not why they're getting
rid of the jaywalk stuff. Let me put this on
the screen here. We now go to New York City.
Here's a local NewsCap a big.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
And controversial legal change that will allow New Yorkers to jaywalk,
you know, across the street against the light or in
the middle of the street.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
This despite the deadly risks.

Speaker 7 (27:31):
Why because the overwhelming majority of jaywalking tickets apparently we're
given to minorities.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
So why didn't they just level the playing field of
these tickets? Well, what does that mean? Do not do this?
This can be deadly? Wait wait, wait, he makes a
weird point there, right, Why don't they just level the
playing field? What is he saying? Like, why don't they
just start ticketing more white people for the thing and
stop doing it to black people? By the way, notice
they said minorities in that I looked it up. It's

(27:57):
not exactly all minorities. Now, there's a very specific group
of people that are jaywalking and getting ticketed in New
York City. And it's not the Asians because their minorities.
Is not really the Muslims either. Guess who it is. Yeah,
it's that group of people. Now, to be fair in
defense of that group of people, it is kind of
a silly law, isn't it. I get it, if you

(28:18):
run in front of a moving vehicle, you can hurt someone.
But that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking
about just giving the ticket to somebody for crossing the street.
And the reason they want to get rid of it,
they're not really saying it out loud, but they kind
of are is because basically this only happens to one
group of people, one very specific group of people. Now,
if that you probably if you're watching on social media,

(28:39):
I kind of already let the cat out of the bag.
Here what we're about to do. We're about to look
at some very racist crime statistics. The worst thing you
could do. Math is so racist. I know, we all agree.
When you just look at raw numerical data, it is
very offensive. And okay, blacks make up what about thirteen
percent of society. Are argument is that if a group

(29:02):
of people is disproportionally getting arrested for something, that law
needs to go away. All right, let's do it. Here
we go. Here's the crime statistics. First of all, I
just want to point out here something real quick. These
are for those of you watching on social media, these
are twenty nineteen crime statistics in the United States. You
might be wondering why twenty nineteen, Well, thank you for asking.

(29:23):
If you go to the FBI's website, it's a DOJ website,
you'll notice something here. We got the crime statistics for
twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. Weirdly enough,
right after the year, right after the year twenty twenty, somebody,
I don't know who it was, someone took office right
after twenty twenty, and the FBI stopped publishing this stuff.

(29:47):
No one knows why, No one knows who it was.
Whoever is currently in charge of the DOJ has decided
you don't really need to get the latest crime statistics.
If you really dig and burrow around, you will find that.
But for those of you that keep up with the news,
what you may have learned recently is cities like New Orleans, Chicago,
Memphis basically the most murderous cities in the country. They're

(30:09):
not really sharing all their crime data with the FBI
right now for public news consumers like you and me.
So again, it's part of the way that they repeat
the lie that crimes going down. But I'm getting off
topic here. This isn't about specific crimes. It's about disproportionately
committed crimes based on race. Now, let me zoom in
a little here on the screen for those of you

(30:30):
at home watching on the social media there. As you'll
notice on the screen here, we got a lot of
crimes rape, murder, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, theft, motor
vehicle arson. So these are you know, these are pretty
serious crimes. We're not just talking about jaywalking. But they
told us jaywalking crimes have got to go because only

(30:51):
one group of people is getting arrested for them. All right, Well,
if black people make up about twelve percent of society,
what percentage of murders are they committing. As you can
see here, they are committing about fifty percent of the murder. Now,
that's that's a lot of murder. If if it wasn't
for this twelve percent of society, those murders wouldn't be
taking place. But also if it wasn't for the law,

(31:14):
those people, fifty percent of the people getting arrested for it,
wouldn't be getting arrested at all. So shouldn't we just
get rid of the murder laws? That's basically what New
York City is telling you here, And I can make
this stupid point with almost everything else. As you can
see from the screen here, sometimes the number of white
people committing crimes is actually higher than the number of
black people that are committing crimes. Here on the screen here,

(31:36):
eleven thousand white people raped, four thousand black people raped,
they claim. But you know, while there's different reasons for that,
one community is more likely to report it than the other. Okay, whatever,
This is still disproportionately higher per capita. You guys know,
never talk about per capita. By the way, nothing is
more racist than per capita. But you know, if you're

(31:57):
one of those people that isn't emotionally driven every issue
in your life and you just look at things logically,
actually that is pretty high. There is like twenty six percent, okay,
but they only make up twelve percent of society, So
shouldn't shouldn't rape laws basically just go away? And I
can make this point over and over again. Aggravated assault,
what are we looking at here? Thirty three percent of
the crimes, twenty eight percent of burglary, thirty eight percent

(32:19):
of larceny, again, all statistically higher in terms of percentages
than the twelve percent that they make up in society.
My only point is, and I'm sure I've already made
the point if I haven't beaten the dead horse enough
at this point, this can't be the reason the law
is going away. We're getting rid of jaywalking just because
one group of people gets arrested for it more than
everybody else. Why did the law go away in the

(32:41):
first place? And I say that as someone that thinks
jaywalking laws are very silly and don't make any sense.
But I I can't be the only person that gets
to weigh in on this. I believe in equity. I
believe everybody gets to talk. And I found the most
marginalized person in America that has an opinion on this,
and that person, as a matter of fact, I think

(33:01):
is is Pete Booty Jig. Did Pete but no, he
didn't want to. No, it's just average New Yorkers talking
about how they feel about the legalization of jaywalking. Play
the sound, okays, what so, what else is new?

Speaker 8 (33:15):
I j walk my whole life here.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
I lived here for sixty years.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
And I j walked.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Gotta be alert. You're in New York.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Look alive.

Speaker 6 (33:23):
You get a chance, you got to take it if
it's safe.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
If it's safe, you go watch both ways. Because now
we got these guys.

Speaker 8 (33:29):
Was the last time you heard somebody say that I'm
happy they caught that jaywalker?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
What I mean? Yeah, I agree, get rid of the
jaywalking laws. But doesn't anybody else find it a little insulting?
Why they're doing it? Be wary of strong alcoholic drinks.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
They could make you shoot at tax collectors and miss
this is happiness on kPr.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Do that, fifty Houston, Never shoot at tax collectors. We
discourage violence. That's supposed to be comedic. That's our comedy.
It's a spooc tacular. Army Hammers says he accepts his
reputation as a cannibal because hey, if you can't eat them,

(34:15):
join them.

Speaker 8 (34:16):
It's just a spoiled, pampered narcissistic Hollywood brat or what.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yes, Hollywood. Hollywood is scary all the time, constantly terrifying.
There's a lot of news to get to. Let's start
off with this friend star Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston has
just endorsed Kamala Harris. Wait a second, what she did?
What Jennifer Aniston endorsed Kamala and I already voted? Oh,

(34:46):
this changes everything. Tim mathis stand up comedian. When a
very predictable Hollywood celebrity comes along in the eleventh hour
and makes a very predictable endorsement, this changes, Well, what
does it change?

Speaker 8 (35:00):
I'm waiting for Phoebe to chime in. I need I
need to know what all the friends think. R I
p Chandler bing by the way, but uh yeah, I
need to know what they think before I cast my vote.
It's ridiculous, the self importance of these celebrities and the
reliance on the celebrities by the Democratic Party. One of

(35:21):
the funniest things is a lot of people will say
celebrity worship is a sign of low IQ, and then
the Democrats just drown you in celebrities trying to get
you to before.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
That's it.

Speaker 8 (35:34):
Yeah, it's basically them saying like, wow, our voters, our
base are really dumb. So here's Meg the Stallion, here's
you know, Jennifer Aniston, here's Arnold Schwarzenegger. The recent, the
most recent. All the bad Republicans are going Democrat. What
does that tell you?

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Donald Trump hosted a TV show called The Apprentice, and
then after he became president, they gave the show to
Arnold Trutzenegger and it was immediately a failure. I don't
know how many people remember that. And then Arnold, as
that was happening, decided to use this opportunity to start
criticizing Donald Trump. If my memory serves me correctly, I
think he even said that that was why the show

(36:14):
was failing. And then he became after years of being
a Republican, he became a liberal Democrat. But anyway, I
don't want to talk about that. Though. I should have
booked you on the show two days ago. Tim, it's
not your fault. I should have asked you to come
on sooner. You're a stand up comedian. This week stand
up comedy. The topic of stand up comedy became a
very big central focus of the presidential campaign. Now we

(36:36):
all know why Tony Hingecliff, a Texas comedian not unlike yourself,
famous for doing a podcast called Kill Tony, which is basically,
as you pointed out to me, off the air, basically
an open mic night that is a podcast, came out
said something about Puerto Rico having a garbage problem, which
is technically true, and that made everybody very mad. And then,

(36:57):
almost like as a gift to Donald Trump, Joe Biden
came out and he called half the country garbage, and
then everybody starts talking about that. And then yesterday Joe
Biden goes to a Halloween party and starts biting babies,
and suddenly nobody's even remembered the thing about the controversial
Puerto Rico joke, which, for the record, you know, Joe
Rogan and John Stewart already defended him for I feel like,

(37:19):
in a sense, this controversy already doesn't matter. But you
are a comedian, so I'm curious what your take is
on it.

Speaker 8 (37:27):
Uh, it's weird that Joe is biting babies without the
baby oil.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
You have to have that on.

Speaker 8 (37:31):
That's that's what you learn at the Diddy parties.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
I think that's true.

Speaker 8 (37:36):
Yeah, it helps him go down. It helps him go
down more smooth.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
That's it.

Speaker 8 (37:42):
So my take on it was that we wouldn't be
talking about this if the joke would have been good,
if the joke didn't hit. Uh, And if you're gonna
do edgy stuff, especially if you're gonna do edgy stuff
in front of a crowd, that the stuff is about
a lot of Puerto Ricans in New York. There were
a lot of Puerto Ricans in the building. And not

(38:04):
only that you're doing it. You know, I was always
told to do my A material, use that if you're
on a big show, you got to use your A material. Well,
does it get any bigger than that show? No, I
don't think so, so, especially if you know he and
he's endorsed Trump, so he wants Trump to win. And
it's a real like step on a Rake type moment

(38:27):
where he really could have hurt Trump. I don't think
he did in the long run, because especially of what
Biden did two days later, which is just hilarious. At
this point, I think Biden wants Kamala to lose because
he's bitter about what happened to him, and he should be.
You know, they propped him up for four or five
years or whatever, and he expected him to keep doing it,

(38:49):
and then they just pulled the rugout from under him.
So I'd be mad too, all right.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
So at the end of the day, you and I
agree on at least one thing there that this probably
at this point doesn't matter much because Joe Biden Ton
Hinchcliffe was the most famous comedian in the world for
five minutes and then suddenly Joe Biden calls half the
country garbage, and now the narratives moved. Speaking of Hollywood celebrities,
you made a great point before about how the stupidest

(39:12):
people worship Hollywood. Multi millionaire movie star George Clooney, who
just suddenly realized recently Joe Biden was an idiot and
actually played a pivotal role in getting the guy to
drop out, is now narrating a Kamala Harris ad aimed
at working classmen. I repeat, multi millionaire movie star George
Clooney is the guy they picked to make a political

(39:34):
ad that's supposed to get working classmen to like Kamaa.
Do you think like truck drivers and garbage men, specifically
gar what do you think is more appealing to them
what Trump did this week or that.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
Well, I mean, who cares what Rosemary Clooney's nephew has
to say. George Pliney is a NEPO baby. George Pluney
had it all given to now. Granted, he's he's talented,
he's a good looking guy. But like George Clooney just suddenly,
you know, went to an audition and wowed them with
his talent. Like, no, he got the fat lane, he

(40:08):
got the easy lane. He was born with a silverspoon.
As much as he likes to pretend that he's you know,
I think I think he was from Kentucky or Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Originally.

Speaker 8 (40:17):
His dad was a big time news anchor or reporter
or something like that. He had a lot of connections.
And of course his aunt, I believe, is Rosemary. So
I mean, you know, when your aunt is singing songs
with Bing Crosby, you're not in the trenches like everybody else. No,
George Clooney has really no credibility when it comes to

(40:39):
like working classes on a few days.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, well, said my man, all right, what about this one.
Here's a story that you already previously covered on this show.
There was a video game called Concord. Concord was created
by Firewalks Studios. Nobody's ever heard of that. That's fine.
Firewalk Studios and Concord are a product of Sony. I'll
know what Sony is now. Concord was a video game

(41:03):
that was so woke that it got canceled almost as
soon as it was created. If you look at the
pictures from the video game, the screenshots, you get to
play an obese black woman with blue lipstick wearing body armor,
and her special skill is that she cancels people for
saying offensive things. There something ridiculous like that. This was

(41:23):
so awful. Not only did it get canceled, but now
Sony just announced, in the wake of the commercial failure
of this ultra woke video game, they are shutting down
the studio that created the game. Tim does this not
confirm all of your biases? Because it does for me.

Speaker 8 (41:40):
Well, I mean, Hollywood should take notice from what's happening
in these gaming industries. The difference is Hollywood's been around longer,
so they have more you know, cash and more funds
and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
You would think I got a pause there. You're not
wrong about your first point. They've been around longer. It's
my understanding the video game industry actually generates more revenue
than Hollywood does. Have you ever heard that before?

Speaker 8 (42:06):
Well, it's possible, but I'm talking about just like as
far as like how much fund they have saved up,
how much it's a lot easier I would assume to
get money for Hollywood films than it would be for
a startup video game. Okay, you know, I don't know
exactly if that's the case, but it seems like if

(42:28):
gaming studios and stuff like this is killing them and
hurting that industry, I'm hoping that Hollywood is taking notice
and saying, okay, if we keep going down this road,
which they seem to be dialing a lot of that
stuff back. If you watch Disney's announcements of the stuff
that's coming to Disney Plus, they really downplayed a lot
of the stuff that isn't selling. But you know, we'll

(42:53):
see what they do. They are making corrections, but I
don't think that you can turn this ship around fast enough.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
All right, one more story here. I'd love to get
your take on, Sean Didty Combs. We can't we can't
not talk about this because every day there's something new.
Now there's a report out where there's there's a photo
of Sean Didty and j Loo at a party back
in two thousand when they were supposedly dating, and they're
having an argument. The paparazzi picked up on the fact
that the two of them are having an argument. Somebody

(43:21):
involved in the lawsuit right now with attorney Tony Busby,
apparently an underage kid, claims he was raped at that
party and that Sean Ditty Combs watched a man rape
this thirteen year old while a female celebrity was in
the room watching as well. If true. If any of
this is true, it might lead one to believe that

(43:41):
woman was j Loo. And now we've learned Sean Ditty
Combs reportedly kept meticulous records, as explained in the report
of his infamous parties and quote has enough dirt to
hang half of Hollywood. According to a source at in
Touch Weekly Pray, he keeps his mouth shut. Hollywood celebrities
are Annika. According to this, Cameron Diaz is supposedly one

(44:03):
of the people. Apparently Jennifer Lopez is as well. Do
you believe it?

Speaker 8 (44:08):
I believe almost anything about that stuff at this point.
It's so deep and you know, they don't have to
pray he's going to keep his mouth shut. I think
they're going to epstein him any day now because they
do not want this stuff coming out. It could really
devastate the industry. I mean, if you just look at
SO did he hung out out a lot with Ashton

(44:30):
Kutcher and stuff like that as well. I would say
sixty percent of that seventy show cast, especially all the
males except for Toprah Grace apparently was involved in that stuff.
I mean, Danny Masterson's already in jail for rape and SO.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Tried to defend him exactly.

Speaker 8 (44:48):
And Ashton Kutcher was very close with Ditty. They were
co producers on some stuff as well.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
And that was.

Speaker 8 (44:57):
During the time when you know, these parties going on
even more than they are work today. So you know,
if you told me a random celebrity's name was at
one of these parties, I just believe you until it's
proven Otherwise, at this point, you know, it's guilty until
proven innocent because everything is that was going on is

(45:18):
so heinous. And of course did he kept records? Blackmail
was probably eighty percent of the point. You know, sure,
he's a pervert, but he also wanted to get dirt
on people. I mean, that's what he was doing. He
was He's basically the hip hop version of Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
I mean, I think so. I think so too. The
more I learn about this, again, it's I already had
that theory. So yeah, confirmation bias. They say, as you
learn more about something, you focus in on the things
that could confirm your theory. So maybe that's what I'm doing.
I don't know, But.

Speaker 8 (45:49):
Did he is basically Jeffrey Epstein with a better soundtrack.
That's all it is.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
That's what I think. Do you think that he had
anything Do you think he colluded with the FBI? And
do you think they played a role in the assassination
of Tupac?

Speaker 8 (46:02):
I think that's highly likely. The FBI, the CIA, all
those three letter agencies are the biggest evil on the
planet as far as I'm concerned. And of course they
would have known that Diddy was doing illegal behavior, and

(46:23):
of course they would have tried to take advantage of
that if they didn't set him up to do the
illegal behavior. I mean, there's a very good chance that,
you know, they helped him begin his career because they
wanted him as an asset. I mean, all that stuff
is possible, but yeah, I think one hundred percent they
had some some hooks into Ditty and he was most

(46:47):
likely whether or not he was helping them out of
out of his own benefit, or if they just said, hey,
we're going to put you away for X if you don't,
you know, help us do this stuff. But and of
course there's a very good chance that that that they
were involved in the Tupac and Biggie stuff. So I
wouldn't put it past any of them. We live in

(47:08):
a really, really, really filthy age and our government is
next deep in that.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Bro. I completely agree, and of course we both have
no idea if it's true or not. For legal purposes,
I have to point that out, we don't know. You're
innocent until proven guilty in our legal system, But like
Tim just pointed out, in the court of public opinion,
especially when you're a Hollywood celebrity, you are guilty until
proven innocent. You have a right to to not go
to prison for a crime they can't prove that you committed,

(47:34):
but you don't have a right to remain famous or
popular or well liked by the public. That's on you.
And at the end of the day, we do spend
too much time in society worshiping Hollywood celebrities when we
should be worshiping God. Thank you very much. Hey Tim,
I understand your website's called gay Crashers Incorporated. I didn't
know you were doing that for a living. Is that
like an only famous.

Speaker 8 (47:54):
Accountan there's a there's a ta in there.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
As gate gate Oh not.

Speaker 8 (48:00):
Gate crashers in quote. No, if we were called gate crashers,
we already have a picture deal.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Ah. Thank you, Thank you, Tim. Apthis find them online.
I'm Kenny Webster. I love you all. Have a great afternoon,
Happy Halloween.
