Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack Gannon government sucks, Pursuit of happiness. Radio is de
Ux Liberty and freedom will make you smile. The a
Suda happing and us on your radio toil just as cheezburg,
just a libity rise.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh this ain't good. This is not good. US credit
card debt has hit another record. We're using so much plastic.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
How much plastic are we using?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We're using so much plastic there's none left for Madonna's face.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Hi, everybody, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
If everything goes and flame this afternoon, Michael quinn Sullivan
for Texas Scorecard will be here with your weekend review.
Brandon Darby will be here with the Border report. Comedian
Tim Mathis is stopping by it and to let us
know what's happening in Hollywood. But I want to start
the show with this. Let's dive right into it, everybody,
two quick things. I'll start with this. I know everyone's
still kind of mad at Jake Paul and to a
(00:57):
lesser extent, his brother, Logan Paul and who's the other guy,
Mike Tyson because of the thing that happened last weekend
on Netflix. I will tell you I'm not mad at them.
I'm not no they put on an event, They entertained
a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
The event was it mostly worked. It's not their fault.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Netflix wasn't ready for it with the technical issues and
stuff that's really on Netflix. Logan Paul, Jake Paul, and
Mike Tyson, apparently all three of them did you know
this Trump supporters, And they got a lot of people
to tune in and watch a boxing match, a couple
of boxing matches, the opening matches, not theirs, obviously, but
I mean people did tune in for THEIRS, but then
unintentionally and indvertently ended up watching two other boxing matches
(01:37):
that were, to their credit, very good fights. So now
we have this report today that brings me here Logan Paul.
According to a report today at BBC, excuse me at
bright part that I just read, Logan Paul, the brother
of Jake Paul, trolled the BBC in a very epic way.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And before we get to any of that, I want
to start. I want to start with this. I know
I'm jumping around a lot. I'm very excited, I'm very
caffeinated today.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
But as reading John Nolty, great writer, good columnist, and
a while back somebody asked him a question. They said,
how do we defeat the corrupt corporate media? And his
answer was pretty good. It was contempt. Once we stopped
treating the corporate media with respect and awe, instead of
showing the media zero respect, give them contempt, guys, belligerent contempt.
(02:28):
Only then will the rest of the world see this naked,
hopelessly corrupt emperor. That is our corporate media for what
it is, a weak phony that holds unearned influence through
a phony front of respectability and professionalism. Once you turn
something or someone into a joke or a punchline, it
loses the thing it most desires, the respect necessary to influence.
(02:49):
CNN is now a punchline. MSNBC is now a clown show.
The Washington Post is now fake news. People are leaving
it in droves. The New York Times nothing more. It's
other than people in an elite bubble. Nobody reads it
anymore now. Ten years ago, these dying institutions had the
power to shape the national conversation. Today nobody listens to them.
(03:09):
It's a beautiful thing. Why do you think they're trying
to sell MSNBC? So we're never going to be rid
of the fake media. But that was never the goal.
The goal was to use the truth to expose them
for who and.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
What they are.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
They are garbage people, and the BBC is basically the
UK's version of CNN teaming up with PBS.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Right, here's the glorious contempt.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Logan Paul showed this dangerous and totally fake news outlet.
The BBC quote spent months chasing Logan Paul for an interview.
This is according to them. According to Deadline, excuse me.
After their investigation raised concerns that the YouTube star may
have profited from misleading fans about crypto, Paul eventually and
unexpectedly agreed to sit down with the BBC. The trouble
(03:51):
is he sent a lookalike instead. Is Logan coming? The
BBC asked, I'm right here, Bud. The lookalike reply, Now
we get to the best part. Listen to this. Their
exchange is then interrupted by a group of people with
megaphones shouting BBC is vile. They hire pedophiles, which, by
the way, in case you didn't know, is a reference
(04:13):
to a couple of former personalities on the BBC, Jimmy
Seville and Hugh Edwards, who actually were apparently convicted proven
to be pedophiles, so they produced this thing. The person
doing the interview was Jamie Tassine, a producer and director
of something called Logan Paul, Bad Influence question Mark. We
(04:34):
had flown all this way just to be trolled, they report.
That's the joke. Guys, Logan Paul might be guilty of everything.
The BBC claims, I don't know, I don't care. They
claimed this guy the brother of Jake Paul, the two
YouTube stars who saw hanging out with Mike Tyson last week,
and that they tricked people with crypto. I have no idea,
(04:55):
but the degree of evil perpetrated by far left legacy
media outlets like the is off the chart, and it
pales in comparison to some bitcoin hustle. This is the way,
this is the only way. Mock them, repeatedly, mock them,
and then when they ask you to stop, mock them
some more.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Hello, my name is Pedro. My favorite things to do
as smuggle drugs, pro create like a rabbit, and listen
to Pursuit of Happiness Radio with producer Kini Peace Stoopy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh yeah no, you're living in America, bub and it
doesn't get more American than Texas.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well, because it depends who you ask.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But to me, being a Texan is the quintessential experience
of Americanism, if such a word even exists or makes
any sense. I do know there's an interesting thing happening
right now with the Trump administration and his two favorite states.
Guess what his two favorite states are. I'll give you
a hint. I don't think we're either of them. And
I'm not saying this to bash Trump. I'm making a
(05:56):
point here about how bad the Texas Republican Party has become.
Trump seems to like Florida, despite his differences with DeSantis.
I would say there's still political allies. Certainly likes his
home state of New York. Obviously is a complicated relationship
with that. But I could not help but notice none
of his picks thus far for his cabinet.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I mean, I'm sure I'm wrong about this.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Is there someone from Texas that has picked for a
cabinet Michael quinns Sullivan of Texas scorecard dot Com. Any
pat cabinet picks from the lone Star state.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
No cabinet picks yet, But certainly I know, you know
a lot of Texans have President Trump's ear, but they.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Don't seem to have seats. So that's you know, I
got to figure out which is which there.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I think it's because I don't think it's because there's
not enough people here that support him. I think it's
because there's not a deep enough bench of talent. Look
at who's good in the state of Texas right now,
it's a shortlist. Paxton, Wesley Hunt, Ted Cruz. Well you
remove them from the equation. You don't have any good
Republicans left in the state. A Chip Roy, maybe.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Don Buckingham our land commissioner. Yeah, it gets Dan packerck
of course, our lieutenant governor. But Dan pack has already
said he has no intention of leaving the state's.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Borders again if he can help it.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
So Sid Mellie, like you say, I mean and Sid
Miller or ag commissioner. But I mean you're now at
you know, half a dozen out of the state of
thirty million. You know that's a yeah, that's a bitter
bill to swallow in some ways.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Right, So Gates is out, and some people noticed he
didn't go with Paxton. He went with Pam Bondy. I
think Pam Bondi's a good pick for Attorney General. I
don't think Gates, by the way, got passed over because
of these allegations against him that have been around for
years and were never proven. I think it's because he
ousted Kevin McCarthy. And that's John Cornyn's golf buddy. I mean,
that's just my two cents. But anyway, I do notice
(07:47):
here Paxton passed again for the attorney general.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Sloty.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Do you think it's because of Paxton's the problem or
do you think it's because the Texas Republican Party is
the problem.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I think it's because.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Republicans in in in high enough offices are the problem.
To think of this, you, yeah, you've got Ted Cruz,
good guy. We've got John Cornyn, who you know, walks
around with a white surrender flag in his coat pocket,
and you're written, you're ready to give into the Democrats
the first opportunity, you know, and we we we named
all some statewide elected officials there of people who are,
(08:20):
you know, good guys. But then you have others like
Glenn Hager our Railroad Commission, some of those who are
kind of less good. And you've got Greg Abbott who
kind of sits there kind of operating this weird uh,
kind of just straddling the world of the Bushies and
the Trump world, and you're never quite.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Sure where he's going to land.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Uh So it all all of which kind of creates
a very uncertain future. So if you're looking at Texas
needing a strong Texas, Donald Trump needs a strong Texas period,
and you and you and you remove Ken Paxton from
the mix of state government and keeping Texas strong. Uh
there's no guarantee that a good guy or good gal
(09:05):
gets you know, gets appointed to fill that slot until
the next selection. You know, you're you're just as likely
to end up with it with a bushy style John
Cornyn as you are a Maga style Kim Paxton in
that position. And I think that if you're if you're
Donald Trump, knowing that you've got Elon Musk and Vivid
(09:27):
Roswami who are going to be recommending big, bold, massive
changes to the federal government over the next eighteen months,
you probably really need an attorney general from a big
state who can file lawsuits as part of that effort.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And and I.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Think that Ken Paxton is more than happy to fill
up build you know, he will need Kim Paxton filing
lawsuits on behalf of the people of Texas because, unlike
many other states, almost everything the federal government does and
everything you would want to cut out of the federal
government impacts Texas because Texas is so large. You can't
trust in New California's on the other side, Right, this
(10:07):
is the big state, this is the big economy. You
know they're on the other side. Can't trust New York.
And you know Florida. You know it's it's a good state,
but it's not big enough to have all the kinds
of moving parts you need. So you know, it makes
sense for Ki Paxxon to stay here. I know law
of Kim Paxton partisans, a lot of the supports compacts
(10:27):
were really disappointed. Everybody wants to see their guy promoted.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
You can certainly see Donald Trump's you know, the chess
going on, the chess moves going on in Donald trump.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Land, right, because if you replace Paixton, if you move
Paxton to national age, who fails his slot here in
the state of Texas. There's only a couple of people
I'd wanted to go to that are currently at a
position where they could reasonably get it. But hey, before
we run out of time here speaking of Florida and Texas.
Florida has a law that I've always liked. It's very controversial.
I've always had mixed feelings about it, because you know,
pros and cons to everything. But one cooming lawmaker here
(11:01):
in Texas just basically filed a proposed law, a bill
that would very much mirror legislation in Florida that allows
for the death penalty for sex crimes against children. Now,
there's this argument that I've heard from anti death penalty
people before.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
They say, if the death penalty exists.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
For crimes that don't actually involve murder, then the person
that could potentially get murdered by the government is more
likely to murder their victims so that they can't testify
against them later on. And I get the logic of that,
but I think in Florida's case, they're only doing it
to people that are repeat, repeat, repeat offenders. You know,
you get in trouble once, fine, you go to prison,
(11:38):
you get in trouble multiple times.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
For this, you got to die.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Frankly, I think that's a reasonable approach to somebody that is,
every time a child is experiences this kind of tragedy,
this kind of torment as a child, don't they often
statistically grow up to be monsters themselves. I mean, we
need to stop this terrible chain. I don't know of
another way to do it.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah, I'm not sure how many grew up to be monsters,
but certainly all grow very broken.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Some some do.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
No, you're right, that's not fair. Quite Yeah, with that, you're.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Right, and and and and and certainly you have killed
their childhood. You have functionally killed a critical formative part
of their life.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Uh, you know I I've heard people say in the
same kind of vein, well, you know, he murdered a
guy who's ninety, who statistically only had about nine months
left anyway, So what's the big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
You know kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know, you also hear that because in both those
arguments kind of fail the faill the tests that ultimately,
you know, justice is about, uh, not only dealing with
the crime that happened, but it's also about making sure
it doesn't happen again, you know, And that that's the
that's kind of part of the multiple goals of our
criminal justice system, you know, with rehabilitation and all those
(12:54):
kind of things also thrown in the mix. Uh, but
new crimes against children. You know, we should, whenever possible,
raise the stakes the point that someone says, you know,
maybe maybe I don't know, No matter what my most
base impulses are, I don't want to do that. And
I think that there is there's certainly some folks out
(13:16):
there like Andy Hopper, who's filed this legislation, who believes
that if we raise the stakes high enough that maybe
we can start protecting kids. And remember this applies only
to sex abusta, also things like child trafficking. Whe're you know,
maybe maybe the guy on trial, you know, isn't the
one who is doing unmentionable things to children, but it's
(13:38):
facilitating it for a lot of children. You know, get
that guy out of the picture. You make this so
costly that being caught might mean the death building you
are as you start changing the supply demand calculus that
goes into these kind of criminal enterprises. And and you know,
it's a horrible thing to contemplate it, saying that none
(13:59):
of this want to contemplate But fortunately you've got guys
like Andy Hopper, You've got the State of Florida, the
state of Tennessee that have complimented it, that have contemplated it,
and they've decided, you know, they want to make sure
that these people know at some point you're going to die.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Boy, I'm with that. I'm look.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I know not everybody likes the death penalty, but there
are some cases where people need to die. I don't
think there's you can't fix evil. Let's talk about China
for a minute, and Governor Abbit before we run out
of time here.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Speaking of evil, let's talk about China.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay, yeah, Well, the Chinese Communist Party is certainly evil.
Chinese people are not evil. I think there's plenty of
reasonable people.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Chinese people are fantastic, but they've managed to be enslaved
by a horrible ideological.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
System for the past century. Right look at Taiwan. Taiwan
seems fine.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Hong Kong seemed fine before the Communists got ahold of it.
But right now, Governor Abbit is issuing an executive order
to arrest Chinese Communist agents in the State of Texas
who are going after Chinese dissidents. Now that seems like
something liberals would be happy about. Our local state representative,
Gene Wu, is a Chinese national who you and I
(15:04):
don't agree with very often on politics.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I could not help.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
But notice he has issued two conflicting statements about this policy.
One of them involves you, Michael quinn Sullivan. On social media,
he said that Governor Abbot's policy was great, he supports it,
and he made it sound like you were a rube
for suggesting on Twitter that he wouldn't support it or
didn't support it. But then he did this interview on
KVUE in Austin. Very easy to find this interview if
(15:31):
you search for the words Abbott China. You don't even
have to put in the word gen Wu. He just
pops up discussing it in the interview. And in that
interview he tells the newswoman kV UE that he does
not trust Governor Abbitt. He thinks he's up to something
and that. But, by the way, is the ABC news
affiliate in Austin. If anyone's curious, Michael, your reaction, Yeah, So, look,
(15:53):
I think what happened to you.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Remember there's a fairly significant time difference between between Houston
and Beijing, so his first statement was probably just kind
of his own kind of comment. But then folks and
his handlers in Beijing woke up and said, hey, Gene.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You got the message wrong.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
You need to go so that you know. Now that
explains in the Kuee interview where he's now back on
back in the good graces because look for gen Wu,
truly this is really critical and do we can't make
light of this. Gene Wu understands it. In Houston, there
is a CCP police station where and it's in about
one hundred and two cities around the world where China
(16:33):
has placed these special police stations. They don't have signs
in front of everyone knows they're there. Where the CCP
agents go through and they go out and they will
nad people of Chinese descent, people who are dissidents who
have escape to the United States or whatever, and they
will do horrible things to them, drag them back to
Beijing and do bad things to them. So you know,
(16:54):
so gen Wu has to make sure he's getting his
messaging right. You know, he he's going to make his
handlers happy back in Basha. But this has been this
has been China week in the in the in Governor
Abbot's office because these issued a series of executive orders
this week aimed at at at aimed at China, whether
(17:14):
it's protecting our infrastructure from Chinese hacking and Chinese and
bolden up to now also ordering every state entity that
has some sort of investment fund to stop investing in
Chinese companies and to withdraw to divest themselves of any
funds put into companies affiliated with the CCP. And that's huge.
(17:35):
You're talking billions and billions and billions of dollars from
you know, tech, various Texas government investment funds, Texas entity
investment funds that that are no longer going to be
open to the CCP and open to China. The way
you control those guys with the pocketbook. And I think
that Governor Abbit should be applauded for having taken this step.
(17:57):
You go aggressively after China.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Like a lot of observations I make about life in Texas,
what I'm about to say is totally anecdotal. I understand,
you know, it's just a thing I noticed. But here
in Houston there's a lot of Chinese people. Michael and
I talk to anyone. I talk to everyone when I'm
outside of this radio studio or outside of my house.
I'm constantly doing research for the show, and so when
I encounter Chinese there's a Hong Kong food restaurant I
(18:19):
love to eat at up in the Heights. I'm hesitant
to say the name of it because I don't want
to get them into trouble. But I've noticed when I'm
talking to people from China, Chinese nationals, people from China,
they will agree with me. They will acknowledge, they will
nod their head when I ask them what they when
I tell them I don't like communism. But when I
ask them, whenever I ask them local people from China
(18:41):
what they think of this stuff, they're very hesitant to
answer the question. Even when I can really tell they're
in the moment they agree with me. They're very hesitant
to open their mouth and articulate how they feel about
this stuff. And I got to think part of the
reason why is because they know there are secret Chinese
police stations in Texas that will go after them.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Real thing. It's the reason the governor's responding to this.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, it is a very real thing. We've seen evidence
of this. There is a Chinese dissident who lives in Midland, Texas.
He is a pastor uh in China who escaped U
barely escaped with his life, and he's had numerous times
where various uh whether individuals or groups, will common harass
(19:25):
his families, stand outside his house do all sorts of
very threatening things. So we know this, this is a
real thing. This is not someone's you know, crazy conjecture
with multi colored yarns spread out on a wall. Now,
these are things that China itself has admitted to doing.
So we know this is a real thing. And in
many places around the world, people just allow it to
happen because gosh, you know, we want to we want
(19:46):
to keep getting that cheap stuff from China. We want
to keep getting those you know, those you know, cell
phones and sneakers made by slave labor in China that
they're so cheap. We've got to keep that going. So
we don't want to say anything. Unfortunately, I think you see,
given a rabbit saying no, we're going to start saying something.
We're going to start poking back on.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
The amen to that.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
If Milton Friedman was alive today, I'd got to think
I don't know if anyone ever asked him about it,
but thoughts on slave labor Milton Friedman was, is that
the free market? I'd imagine he would probably say no, anyway,
we got a break. We went along on this Texas
Scorecard dot com the best place to get news about
what's going on politically and elsewhere throughout the lone Star
Stage Shore.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It did so Star cousin right here for season. It's
how we're to host the show with a couple of
knuckle his Gan Western Gitia all right.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Apparently a poll shows ninety four percent of voters believes
Donald Trump's win was completely legitimate, and the other six
percent host shows on MSNBC. Apparently, so they didn't agree.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I guess sounds like some Texas justice to me. Lockett
and now Live from the Border. It's right. Bart's Brandon
Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only on KPRC Radio.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They're all making friends Iran and Russia and China and
North Korea. Vladimir Putin recently gave seventy animals to a
North Korean zoo. Zoo officials say animals were they were cute,
they were adorable, they were extremely cuddly and also absolutely delicious.
Brandon Darby, have you ever eaten zoo animals before?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
No, never had a zoo animal.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Apparently you're eating pimento cheese right now. During this interview, like,
you don't even care that you're on the radio.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
I do not care. I'm eating tomino cheese. I'm strategically
pushing mute so that i can kind of like when
you go to the bathroom and you're on a business
call or you're on the phone and you're like, I
really have to urinate, but I'm on the phone. I
don't want to get off the phone. So you ask
a complex question, they start talking, you push mute, you
start to be they ask you a question, and they pause.
(21:52):
You have to stop the stream, unmute. It's a very
stressful thing. But eating pamino cheese as much, you know,
eating while out of radio interview is kind of like
going to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, I know, I do it all the time. I'm
going to the bathroom right now. Actually, Hey, I have
a theory I want to bounce off you. You're a
pretty smart guy. You're very you're very aware of what's
going on with foreign policy issues.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Here's my theory.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Trump takes office and he quietly negotiates an end, very
quickly negotiates an end to the Ukraine War, which apparently
he's already been negotiating even while he wasn't president.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Over the last few years, Dems realize he was.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Negotiating with foreign leaders while he wasn't yet president, a
violation of the Logan Act. And then they try to
impeach him a third time, this time for ending World
War three.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 6 (22:39):
You know, I this entire ordeal watch him. You know,
Biden's got us on the brink of a of a
major war that we could end up with Brown troops involved,
right with our with our sons and daughters. Because remember
remember girls and boys, there's no difference, right, that's a
(22:59):
choice trying to city people.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, And so.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
They have us in a situation where they're they're playing
a dangerous game of briaksmanship, being hyper aggressive about it.
They got voted out of office, and so they're like, well,
let's hurry up and just just ramp it up before
we leave. Right, Let's let's force the hand. Let's let's
allow you know, Ukraine, which is in itself is a
(23:23):
is a is no different than Russia. It's a very
corrupted autocracy, and it's a It's like, let's let's allow
them to Let's give them land minds, Right, Let's give
them land mines that are going to blow up kids
legs for years to come. Let's give them land mines.
Let's let them use missiles deep into Russian territory. Let's
let's just ramp up the funding before we leave office
and try to make it where the next president can't
(23:46):
do anything. Screw the will of the people, screw what
they voted for, screw the mandate. This next guy gets like,
we're going to do what we want to do anyways,
and and this is uh, you know, this is what
we're seeing, and we see it across the board. And
I hate to bring up other stuff, but I was
reading this article about Pete Heads and.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They want to make him head of the penal, well,
just defense secretary. It's pretty well certainly.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Right, But I'm reading what the left media is doing
to this guy. You know, it's like some lady. He
obviously had sex with some lady. The lady said it
wasn't consensual. Uh maybe I don't know. I wasn't there,
but I'm going to tell you at this point, at
this point, like you know, at this point, I'm I
(24:31):
really feel like this hashtag me too stuff it only
comes out right, like it only comes out Biden's been
a qus They didn't care. Tons of Democrats have been accused.
They don't care. They cared in the very heat of
the me too movement, but then they quit caring, right
they started, They quit caring about about allegations against everything
from Bill Clinton onward. And and they pull out the
(24:54):
me too card when it when it benefits them, right,
they pull out the me too card when it benefits them.
And watching them try to revitalize and amp up me
too again after we just had a president who likes
to bite babies and little girls and touch their breasts
and awkwardly when he's standing by them, and smell them
all the time, smelling little girls and little It's like,
(25:16):
come on, man, you know, come on, Like I don't
know what happened with p XP, but one person making
an accusation cannot and should not ruin the life of
another human being. You know, we've lost touch of that,
we've lost track of that. Talking to some of my
left leaning friends, one who's a professor, and she said, well,
you know, women have been so abused and done wrong,
(25:37):
but even if we should believe all women, even if
it means a few men who are innocent get their
lives ruined. It's worth it to make sure no rape
victim ever goes without justice. And I'm like, wait, that
is a complete bastardization of everything I've ever believed in,
Like that is like like it's better than in a
guilty man walk, one guilty man walks, and then are
(25:59):
you know, then an innocent man go to prison or
a hundred guilty then walk, and one innocent man loses freedom.
That's where we come from, and that's where they come from.
They don't care if if so what if a man
is innocent and gets his life or loses his kids,
loses his career, is broken, destitute, registered as a sex offender,
(26:20):
can't live anywhere, can't so what even if he's innocent,
as long as there's no chance that any woman who
ever accuses someone of rape or assault gets to walk,
gets to not have justice. And you know, it's like
wait a minute, like that's not who we are, and
so that's who they are, right, And they use that
card selectively. If you're a right leaning male, if you're
(26:41):
pete heads, then then they throw it at you. But
if it's if it's one of their own, they don't
know that's that's true, and I'm sorry to sidetrack it,
but Department of the Fans Ukraine, it's it's all the
same kind of thing. We're watching the dirtiest tricks. We're
watching the dirty tricks, and like, look that happened to me.
(27:02):
You know, I worked with the FBI. I was very
proud all these left, these leftist activists who were very
well connected to the Democrat Party establishment. They bombs they
were going to throw at Republican delegates. They tried to
prevent Republicans from assembling and picking their candidate. They used violence,
they used force, and I was very proud to have
(27:23):
worked undercover with the FBI to help bust those people.
And they attacked the absolute heck out of me. They
destroyed my character. And it wasn't until Andrew Breitbart saw
what they were doing and heard NPR attacking me that
he said, wait a minute, and then he defended me.
This is how I got into this career. That's how
I became friends with Andrew Briibart. It started defending me
because what I did was right.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Some of you hate the FBI and there's some political
stuff we don't like, and they need to do something
about that. Okay, yes, all agreed. But the concept of
like fighting bombmakers or stopping bombmakers from blowing up cops
and Republicans, that's the stuff out of the FBI about right,
And that's the stuff that I participated in, and I
was very proud of it, and these guys destroyed my character.
(28:06):
And this was back at a time when the right
didn't really have a voice, and so now we're not
in those days anymore. We're not in the days. We're
left of center. Journalists have all power and they can
just destroy you if they want, and the left establishment
can destroy you and there's no fighting back. And so
what you're seeing is in trying to use those old
tricks and destroy people, and they're not getting to anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I mean, I think you explained it well.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Obviously I feel a little differently about the FBI than you,
but I think the rest of it spot on. I
don't think Pete Headsec did anything wrong. I think they're
going after Pete hag Seth because he is not part
of the military industrial complex. I think they're going after
Matt Gates because he ousted Kevin McCarthy and John Cornyn's
mad that his golf club buddy doesn't get to be
Speaker of the House anymore, so Matt Gates doesn't get
(28:53):
to be Attorney General. It's the UNI Party, And to
your point, I think you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
At the end of the day, the legacy is dying
and we get to.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
See the fruits of our efforts and destroying the legacy
media with these cabinet picks from Trump, let's hope they
get confirmed. Brandon Darby find him on Twitter or Breitbart
dot com.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness radio. Pursuit
of Happiness. We don't have that in Mexico. Comedian Tim
athis right after this, We're going to Hollywood. Stick around
before we go. I always like to use this. I
always like to use this.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Time to talk about what happened in Hollywood this week.
I guess there's no way we could do a Hollywood
report without telling you this. Ellen Degenerous announced she is
moving to rural England and never coming back to America.
Now she's making it sound like it's because of Trump.
Let's pretend hypothetically it's because of Trump. Two postmenopausal lesbians
(29:47):
are moving to England because they're worried they can't get
an abortion.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
This is a real news story.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Apparently it's just a spoiled, pappered, narcissistic Hollywood brat.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Or what or what?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
She's not from Hollywood, he's from Texas. He just works
in Hollywood because he's a comedian. He's a comedy writer
and tim mathis what? Was Ellen already going to move
to England? Didn't she just have a failed comedy special?
They canceled her show a few weeks ago. She tried
to make a comeback. This didn't have anything to do
with Trump. She was already gonna leave America.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
I right, she was gonna move to Sweden. But apparently
she heard that there were already a thousand dykes over there.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh got it, got it. He's damns. He means he's
talking about water. You guys are exactly.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Yeah, he's not a fan of hydro electricity.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
That's what That's what he meant, right, Yeah, that's what
we're referring to. Of course. Yeah, but I get I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Think she was actually gonna I think she was already
You keep up with this. Isn't there a comedy special
she put out recently that got critically panned.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Uh yeah, and not only that, there's a good chance
she's on a certain types of lists some people are
gonna be exiting the country for. If you remember, one
of her sets was very similar to the Epstein Island compounds.
So there are keep in mind that Glaine Maxwell liked
(31:14):
underage girls as well as Jeffrey Epstein. So the thought
that there were also many other bisexual or lesbian women
who were also into that, and maybe people like Ellen
DeGeneres might be tangentially involved or directly involved with that
thing is very possible.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Okay, you know, Ellen was very good friends with p Diddy.
But you're right, I never noticed before the set of
her TV show did kind of look like Epstein Island.
I never thought about that until you pointed out. But
there's pictures on it of the internet.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, Wow, that's pretty creepy, dude.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Symbolism is very popular among these folks that are involved
in that type of thing because they want to symbolize
to the other people that are involved in that type
of thing, hey, hey, we're cool. We're cool.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Well, speaking of Michelle Obama's friends, that Jesse Smallett hate
crime hoax conviction has been overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court. Now,
if you watched his lawyer explain what happened, you'd think
that they proved he was innocent and this whole thing
was one big sham.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
That's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
He got all the charges were basically dropped on a technicality,
essentially because of something the Cook County State's attorney, Kim
Fox did. But in reality, he's still guilty. It's just
in the eyes of the law, he's not guilty simply
because they did they executed the investigation in the trial wrong.
Jesse Smalltt's still a bad guy. I mean, this doesn't
(32:43):
exonerate him.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Well, apparently the prosecutor is on record as saying, don't
get it twisted. Somebody is going to go to jail
for this crime, and it will be Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Ugh.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
They're going to try to find some way to charge
this crime on Donald Trump eventually, so justice will be served.
It will just be a special kind of justice.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Interesting, all right, So question for you here, you and
I were talking about this off the air. You find
it a little odd that even though he killed somebody,
they're still going to release the movie Rust and Alec
Baldwin is still going to appear on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Isn't that kind of creepy.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
It's something that's really bothering me at this point. Apparently
they're gonna release rust. It's gonna have a mention for
Helene or Helena Helena Hutchins, They're gonna, you know, mention
her in it. Her mother is still obviously and rightfully
enraged by the whole situation because she feels that justice
(33:47):
wasn't served and her daughter was killed and nobody that
was directly responsible. I e. Alec Baldwin even got in
trouble for it. But the SNL thing really bothers me
because I mean, whether or not he was, you know,
found guilty or whatever. I know he got off on
a technicality as well, and they're just acting like he
didn't kill a mother at a workplace shooting, and they're
(34:12):
just putting him back on SNL to do terrible RFK impersonations,
by the way, which is him making fun of somebody
with an actual physical disability. I thought that's something that
we frowned upon.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, right, it was RFK Junior's voice.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I thought that was a weird choice too, But yeah,
they're like, heyah, here's a convicted murderer to make fun
of a man with health while he's not a convicted murder.
Here's a known murderer to make fun of a guy
with health issues.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
That's a good point, tim exactly.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
It's like, what are we doing here? We're acting like
is there no other of the millions of comedic actors
out there? And I'm not even saying me because I'm
not a great impression. It'st but are we going to
sit here and say that Alec Baldwin, who you've had
play Trump for the last what or five years and
then he took two years off when he killed a
(35:03):
mother on set, and now you bring him back instead
of bringing the one of the millions of people who
haven't killed somebody in a workplace incident, and you're just
gonna act like this guy is just hunky dory and
we're all back in the club and everything's fine, and no, well,
yeah he had a little bump in the road, but
it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, I mean, he killed somebody. It's pretty dark and demented,
and I can't look at him now and not think
about how he killed someone.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
That's horrific. Okay, let's talk about famously.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Famously the actor that killed Brandon Lee on the set
of The Crow. It shattered him mentally, which is understandable
because the last thing you expect when you go on
set is to take the life of somebody, and you
would obviously feel guilt for it. The thing that bothers
me is Alec Baldwin isn't guilty. He has no shame,
(35:54):
He has no guilt in his heart. He thinks that
he did nothing wrong, and that blows me my mind.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, it's same here, Tim, I mean, you explained that perfectly.
You're so right about that. All right, Let's talk about
Katy Perry. Katy Perry campaigned for Kamala. She thinks Kamala
should be your mama law. She really wanted her to
be president. Then Kamala lost. Now Katie Perry is on
social media telling people they need to go watch the
movie Idiocracy because that's the Trump administration. Does Katie not
(36:25):
realize most Trump supporters like the movie Idiocracy. They think
Idiocracy is making fun of liberals. Does she not get that?
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Yeah, it's it's weird. Every four years, idiocracy trends because
the other side thinks the other side is Idiocracy personified.
But Katy Perry is one hundred percent entrenched into whatever
has gone on in Hollywood and music for the last
fifty years. He's famously the daughter of a evangelical pastor,
(36:57):
I believe, and has talked about how she went completely
the opposite way of her religious teachings, which is the
opposite of what her ex husband, Russell Brand has done.
Russell Brand was famously a sex litario and a heroin addict.
He talked about it himself, and he's really cleaned up
his life and gone the opposite route. And you know,
people like Katy Perry are are just completely taken by
(37:23):
this mind virus thing, this high mind of debauchery that
is Hollywood. And you know, she campaigned hard for Kamala
and they lost. And you know, like I said, some
very unfortunate lists may be coming out soon, and I'm
sure if they do come out, Katy Perry will be
(37:44):
somewhere on there.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah, no kidding, dude.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I mean the movie Idiocracy is a movie about people
like Katy Perry. That's very funny to me. Hey, before
we get out of here, real one more quick one.
I want to bounce off you. Wicked is debuting this
weekend in movie theaters.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It's supposed to be a big deal, the.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Broadway musicals being turned into a film starring ari On
a Grande and that chick from Wakanda Forever I guess
and anyway, the two of them.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
It's a movie where they sing.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
It's a musical, but apparently AMC has told moviegoers you
may not sing along during the movie, and that kind
of take away the fun of going to see a musical.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
It's kind a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Look, I'm not gonna see this anyway, but they kind
of made something lame even more lame with the stupid
lame rule.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Well, me and all my swifty friends are going to
be singing in it, I can tell you that much.
I will be singing loud and proud. I follow the
entire Broadway run of Wicked, so I will be in
costume and in tune, singing along.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
You go girl. Tim mathis at Tim Mathis Comedy. Find
him on Instagram and Twitter. To the rest of you,
I love you. I'll have an awesome even a weekend.
We'll be back Monday morning for more of what you
bought a radio for.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
The pursuit of happiness. Radial tell the government to kiss
your ass when you listen to the show.
Jack Gannon government sucks, Pursuit of happiness. Radio is de
Ux Liberty and freedom will make you smile. The a
Suda happing and us on your radio toil just as cheezburg,
just a libity rise.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh this ain't good. This is not good. US credit
card debt has hit another record. We're using so much plastic.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
How much plastic are we using?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We're using so much plastic there's none left for Madonna's face.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Hi, everybody, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
If everything goes and flame this afternoon, Michael quinn Sullivan
for Texas Scorecard will be here with your weekend review.
Brandon Darby will be here with the Border report. Comedian
Tim Mathis is stopping by it and to let us
know what's happening in Hollywood. But I want to start
the show with this. Let's dive right into it, everybody,
two quick things. I'll start with this. I know everyone's
still kind of mad at Jake Paul and to a
(00:57):
lesser extent, his brother, Logan Paul and who's the other guy,
Mike Tyson because of the thing that happened last weekend
on Netflix. I will tell you I'm not mad at them.
I'm not no they put on an event, They entertained
a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
The event was it mostly worked. It's not their fault.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Netflix wasn't ready for it with the technical issues and
stuff that's really on Netflix. Logan Paul, Jake Paul, and
Mike Tyson, apparently all three of them did you know
this Trump supporters, And they got a lot of people
to tune in and watch a boxing match, a couple
of boxing matches, the opening matches, not theirs, obviously, but
I mean people did tune in for THEIRS, but then
unintentionally and indvertently ended up watching two other boxing matches
(01:37):
that were, to their credit, very good fights. So now
we have this report today that brings me here Logan Paul.
According to a report today at BBC, excuse me at
bright part that I just read, Logan Paul, the brother
of Jake Paul, trolled the BBC in a very epic way.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And before we get to any of that, I want
to start. I want to start with this. I know
I'm jumping around a lot. I'm very excited, I'm very
caffeinated today.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
But as reading John Nolty, great writer, good columnist, and
a while back somebody asked him a question. They said,
how do we defeat the corrupt corporate media? And his
answer was pretty good. It was contempt. Once we stopped
treating the corporate media with respect and awe, instead of
showing the media zero respect, give them contempt, guys, belligerent contempt.
(02:28):
Only then will the rest of the world see this naked,
hopelessly corrupt emperor. That is our corporate media for what
it is, a weak phony that holds unearned influence through
a phony front of respectability and professionalism. Once you turn
something or someone into a joke or a punchline, it
loses the thing it most desires, the respect necessary to influence.
(02:49):
CNN is now a punchline. MSNBC is now a clown show.
The Washington Post is now fake news. People are leaving
it in droves. The New York Times nothing more. It's
other than people in an elite bubble. Nobody reads it
anymore now. Ten years ago, these dying institutions had the
power to shape the national conversation. Today nobody listens to them.
(03:09):
It's a beautiful thing. Why do you think they're trying
to sell MSNBC? So we're never going to be rid
of the fake media. But that was never the goal.
The goal was to use the truth to expose them
for who and.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
What they are.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
They are garbage people, and the BBC is basically the
UK's version of CNN teaming up with PBS.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Right, here's the glorious contempt.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Logan Paul showed this dangerous and totally fake news outlet.
The BBC quote spent months chasing Logan Paul for an interview.
This is according to them. According to Deadline, excuse me.
After their investigation raised concerns that the YouTube star may
have profited from misleading fans about crypto, Paul eventually and
unexpectedly agreed to sit down with the BBC. The trouble
(03:51):
is he sent a lookalike instead. Is Logan coming? The
BBC asked, I'm right here, Bud. The lookalike reply, Now
we get to the best part. Listen to this. Their
exchange is then interrupted by a group of people with
megaphones shouting BBC is vile. They hire pedophiles, which, by
the way, in case you didn't know, is a reference
(04:13):
to a couple of former personalities on the BBC, Jimmy
Seville and Hugh Edwards, who actually were apparently convicted proven
to be pedophiles, so they produced this thing. The person
doing the interview was Jamie Tassine, a producer and director
of something called Logan Paul, Bad Influence question Mark. We
(04:34):
had flown all this way just to be trolled, they report.
That's the joke. Guys, Logan Paul might be guilty of everything.
The BBC claims, I don't know, I don't care. They
claimed this guy the brother of Jake Paul, the two
YouTube stars who saw hanging out with Mike Tyson last week,
and that they tricked people with crypto. I have no idea,
(04:55):
but the degree of evil perpetrated by far left legacy
media outlets like the is off the chart, and it
pales in comparison to some bitcoin hustle. This is the way,
this is the only way. Mock them, repeatedly, mock them,
and then when they ask you to stop, mock them
some more.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Hello, my name is Pedro. My favorite things to do
as smuggle drugs, pro create like a rabbit, and listen
to Pursuit of Happiness Radio with producer Kini Peace Stoopy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh yeah no, you're living in America, bub and it
doesn't get more American than Texas.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well, because it depends who you ask.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But to me, being a Texan is the quintessential experience
of Americanism, if such a word even exists or makes
any sense. I do know there's an interesting thing happening
right now with the Trump administration and his two favorite states.
Guess what his two favorite states are. I'll give you
a hint. I don't think we're either of them. And
I'm not saying this to bash Trump. I'm making a
(05:56):
point here about how bad the Texas Republican Party has become.
Trump seems to like Florida, despite his differences with DeSantis.
I would say there's still political allies. Certainly likes his
home state of New York. Obviously is a complicated relationship
with that. But I could not help but notice none
of his picks thus far for his cabinet.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I mean, I'm sure I'm wrong about this.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Is there someone from Texas that has picked for a
cabinet Michael quinns Sullivan of Texas scorecard dot Com. Any
pat cabinet picks from the lone Star state.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
No cabinet picks yet, But certainly I know, you know
a lot of Texans have President Trump's ear, but they.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Don't seem to have seats. So that's you know, I
got to figure out which is which there.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I think it's because I don't think it's because there's
not enough people here that support him. I think it's
because there's not a deep enough bench of talent. Look
at who's good in the state of Texas right now,
it's a shortlist. Paxton, Wesley Hunt, Ted Cruz. Well you
remove them from the equation. You don't have any good
Republicans left in the state. A Chip Roy, maybe.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Don Buckingham our land commissioner. Yeah, it gets Dan packerck
of course, our lieutenant governor. But Dan pack has already
said he has no intention of leaving the state's.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Borders again if he can help it.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
So Sid Mellie, like you say, I mean and Sid
Miller or ag commissioner. But I mean you're now at
you know, half a dozen out of the state of
thirty million. You know that's a yeah, that's a bitter
bill to swallow in some ways.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Right, So Gates is out, and some people noticed he
didn't go with Paxton. He went with Pam Bondy. I
think Pam Bondi's a good pick for Attorney General. I
don't think Gates, by the way, got passed over because
of these allegations against him that have been around for
years and were never proven. I think it's because he
ousted Kevin McCarthy. And that's John Cornyn's golf buddy. I mean,
that's just my two cents. But anyway, I do notice
(07:47):
here Paxton passed again for the attorney general.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Sloty.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Do you think it's because of Paxton's the problem or
do you think it's because the Texas Republican Party is
the problem.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I think it's because.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Republicans in in in high enough offices are the problem.
To think of this, you, yeah, you've got Ted Cruz,
good guy. We've got John Cornyn, who you know, walks
around with a white surrender flag in his coat pocket,
and you're written, you're ready to give into the Democrats
the first opportunity, you know, and we we we named
all some statewide elected officials there of people who are,
(08:20):
you know, good guys. But then you have others like
Glenn Hager our Railroad Commission, some of those who are
kind of less good. And you've got Greg Abbott who
kind of sits there kind of operating this weird uh,
kind of just straddling the world of the Bushies and
the Trump world, and you're never quite.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Sure where he's going to land.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Uh So it all all of which kind of creates
a very uncertain future. So if you're looking at Texas
needing a strong Texas, Donald Trump needs a strong Texas period,
and you and you and you remove Ken Paxton from
the mix of state government and keeping Texas strong. Uh
there's no guarantee that a good guy or good gal
(09:05):
gets you know, gets appointed to fill that slot until
the next selection. You know, you're you're just as likely
to end up with it with a bushy style John
Cornyn as you are a Maga style Kim Paxton in
that position. And I think that if you're if you're
Donald Trump, knowing that you've got Elon Musk and Vivid
(09:27):
Roswami who are going to be recommending big, bold, massive
changes to the federal government over the next eighteen months,
you probably really need an attorney general from a big
state who can file lawsuits as part of that effort.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And and I.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Think that Ken Paxton is more than happy to fill
up build you know, he will need Kim Paxton filing
lawsuits on behalf of the people of Texas because, unlike
many other states, almost everything the federal government does and
everything you would want to cut out of the federal
government impacts Texas because Texas is so large. You can't
trust in New California's on the other side, Right, this
(10:07):
is the big state, this is the big economy. You
know they're on the other side. Can't trust New York.
And you know Florida. You know it's it's a good state,
but it's not big enough to have all the kinds
of moving parts you need. So you know, it makes
sense for Ki Paxxon to stay here. I know law
of Kim Paxton partisans, a lot of the supports compacts
(10:27):
were really disappointed. Everybody wants to see their guy promoted.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
You can certainly see Donald Trump's you know, the chess
going on, the chess moves going on in Donald trump.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Land, right, because if you replace Paixton, if you move
Paxton to national age, who fails his slot here in
the state of Texas. There's only a couple of people
I'd wanted to go to that are currently at a
position where they could reasonably get it. But hey, before
we run out of time here speaking of Florida and Texas.
Florida has a law that I've always liked. It's very controversial.
I've always had mixed feelings about it, because you know,
pros and cons to everything. But one cooming lawmaker here
(11:01):
in Texas just basically filed a proposed law, a bill
that would very much mirror legislation in Florida that allows
for the death penalty for sex crimes against children. Now,
there's this argument that I've heard from anti death penalty
people before.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
They say, if the death penalty exists.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
For crimes that don't actually involve murder, then the person
that could potentially get murdered by the government is more
likely to murder their victims so that they can't testify
against them later on. And I get the logic of that,
but I think in Florida's case, they're only doing it
to people that are repeat, repeat, repeat offenders. You know,
you get in trouble once, fine, you go to prison,
(11:38):
you get in trouble multiple times.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
For this, you got to die.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Frankly, I think that's a reasonable approach to somebody that is,
every time a child is experiences this kind of tragedy,
this kind of torment as a child, don't they often
statistically grow up to be monsters themselves. I mean, we
need to stop this terrible chain. I don't know of
another way to do it.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah, I'm not sure how many grew up to be monsters,
but certainly all grow very broken.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Some some do.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
No, you're right, that's not fair. Quite Yeah, with that, you're.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Right, and and and and and certainly you have killed
their childhood. You have functionally killed a critical formative part
of their life.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Uh, you know I I've heard people say in the
same kind of vein, well, you know, he murdered a
guy who's ninety, who statistically only had about nine months
left anyway, So what's the big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
You know kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know, you also hear that because in both those
arguments kind of fail the faill the tests that ultimately,
you know, justice is about, uh, not only dealing with
the crime that happened, but it's also about making sure
it doesn't happen again, you know, And that that's the
that's kind of part of the multiple goals of our
criminal justice system, you know, with rehabilitation and all those
(12:54):
kind of things also thrown in the mix. Uh, but
new crimes against children. You know, we should, whenever possible,
raise the stakes the point that someone says, you know,
maybe maybe I don't know, No matter what my most
base impulses are, I don't want to do that. And
I think that there is there's certainly some folks out
(13:16):
there like Andy Hopper, who's filed this legislation, who believes
that if we raise the stakes high enough that maybe
we can start protecting kids. And remember this applies only
to sex abusta, also things like child trafficking. Whe're you know,
maybe maybe the guy on trial, you know, isn't the
one who is doing unmentionable things to children, but it's
(13:38):
facilitating it for a lot of children. You know, get
that guy out of the picture. You make this so
costly that being caught might mean the death building you
are as you start changing the supply demand calculus that
goes into these kind of criminal enterprises. And and you know,
it's a horrible thing to contemplate it, saying that none
(13:59):
of this want to contemplate But fortunately you've got guys
like Andy Hopper, You've got the State of Florida, the
state of Tennessee that have complimented it, that have contemplated it,
and they've decided, you know, they want to make sure
that these people know at some point you're going to die.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Boy, I'm with that. I'm look.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I know not everybody likes the death penalty, but there
are some cases where people need to die. I don't
think there's you can't fix evil. Let's talk about China
for a minute, and Governor Abbit before we run out
of time here.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Speaking of evil, let's talk about China.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay, yeah, Well, the Chinese Communist Party is certainly evil.
Chinese people are not evil. I think there's plenty of
reasonable people.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Chinese people are fantastic, but they've managed to be enslaved
by a horrible ideological.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
System for the past century. Right look at Taiwan. Taiwan
seems fine.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Hong Kong seemed fine before the Communists got ahold of it.
But right now, Governor Abbit is issuing an executive order
to arrest Chinese Communist agents in the State of Texas
who are going after Chinese dissidents. Now that seems like
something liberals would be happy about. Our local state representative,
Gene Wu, is a Chinese national who you and I
(15:04):
don't agree with very often on politics.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I could not help.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
But notice he has issued two conflicting statements about this policy.
One of them involves you, Michael quinn Sullivan. On social media,
he said that Governor Abbot's policy was great, he supports it,
and he made it sound like you were a rube
for suggesting on Twitter that he wouldn't support it or
didn't support it. But then he did this interview on
KVUE in Austin. Very easy to find this interview if
(15:31):
you search for the words Abbott China. You don't even
have to put in the word gen Wu. He just
pops up discussing it in the interview. And in that
interview he tells the newswoman kV UE that he does
not trust Governor Abbitt. He thinks he's up to something
and that. But, by the way, is the ABC news
affiliate in Austin. If anyone's curious, Michael, your reaction, Yeah, So, look,
(15:53):
I think what happened to you.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Remember there's a fairly significant time difference between between Houston
and Beijing, so his first statement was probably just kind
of his own kind of comment. But then folks and
his handlers in Beijing woke up and said, hey, Gene.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You got the message wrong.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
You need to go so that you know. Now that
explains in the Kuee interview where he's now back on
back in the good graces because look for gen Wu,
truly this is really critical and do we can't make
light of this. Gene Wu understands it. In Houston, there
is a CCP police station where and it's in about
one hundred and two cities around the world where China
(16:33):
has placed these special police stations. They don't have signs
in front of everyone knows they're there. Where the CCP
agents go through and they go out and they will
nad people of Chinese descent, people who are dissidents who
have escape to the United States or whatever, and they
will do horrible things to them, drag them back to
Beijing and do bad things to them. So you know,
(16:54):
so gen Wu has to make sure he's getting his
messaging right. You know, he he's going to make his
handlers happy back in Basha. But this has been this
has been China week in the in the in Governor
Abbot's office because these issued a series of executive orders
this week aimed at at at aimed at China, whether
(17:14):
it's protecting our infrastructure from Chinese hacking and Chinese and
bolden up to now also ordering every state entity that
has some sort of investment fund to stop investing in
Chinese companies and to withdraw to divest themselves of any
funds put into companies affiliated with the CCP. And that's huge.
(17:35):
You're talking billions and billions and billions of dollars from
you know, tech, various Texas government investment funds, Texas entity
investment funds that that are no longer going to be
open to the CCP and open to China. The way
you control those guys with the pocketbook. And I think
that Governor Abbit should be applauded for having taken this step.
(17:57):
You go aggressively after China.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Like a lot of observations I make about life in Texas,
what I'm about to say is totally anecdotal. I understand,
you know, it's just a thing I noticed. But here
in Houston there's a lot of Chinese people. Michael and
I talk to anyone. I talk to everyone when I'm
outside of this radio studio or outside of my house.
I'm constantly doing research for the show, and so when
I encounter Chinese there's a Hong Kong food restaurant I
(18:19):
love to eat at up in the Heights. I'm hesitant
to say the name of it because I don't want
to get them into trouble. But I've noticed when I'm
talking to people from China, Chinese nationals, people from China,
they will agree with me. They will acknowledge, they will
nod their head when I ask them what they when
I tell them I don't like communism. But when I
ask them, whenever I ask them local people from China
(18:41):
what they think of this stuff, they're very hesitant to
answer the question. Even when I can really tell they're
in the moment they agree with me. They're very hesitant
to open their mouth and articulate how they feel about
this stuff. And I got to think part of the
reason why is because they know there are secret Chinese
police stations in Texas that will go after them.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Real thing. It's the reason the governor's responding to this.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, it is a very real thing. We've seen evidence
of this. There is a Chinese dissident who lives in Midland, Texas.
He is a pastor uh in China who escaped U
barely escaped with his life, and he's had numerous times
where various uh whether individuals or groups, will common harass
(19:25):
his families, stand outside his house do all sorts of
very threatening things. So we know this, this is a
real thing. This is not someone's you know, crazy conjecture
with multi colored yarns spread out on a wall. Now,
these are things that China itself has admitted to doing.
So we know this is a real thing. And in
many places around the world, people just allow it to
happen because gosh, you know, we want to we want
(19:46):
to keep getting that cheap stuff from China. We want
to keep getting those you know, those you know, cell
phones and sneakers made by slave labor in China that
they're so cheap. We've got to keep that going. So
we don't want to say anything. Unfortunately, I think you see,
given a rabbit saying no, we're going to start saying something.
We're going to start poking back on.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
The amen to that.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
If Milton Friedman was alive today, I'd got to think
I don't know if anyone ever asked him about it,
but thoughts on slave labor Milton Friedman was, is that
the free market? I'd imagine he would probably say no, anyway,
we got a break. We went along on this Texas
Scorecard dot com the best place to get news about
what's going on politically and elsewhere throughout the lone Star
Stage Shore.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It did so Star cousin right here for season. It's
how we're to host the show with a couple of
knuckle his Gan Western Gitia all right.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Apparently a poll shows ninety four percent of voters believes
Donald Trump's win was completely legitimate, and the other six
percent host shows on MSNBC. Apparently, so they didn't agree.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I guess sounds like some Texas justice to me. Lockett
and now Live from the Border. It's right. Bart's Brandon
Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only on KPRC Radio.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They're all making friends Iran and Russia and China and
North Korea. Vladimir Putin recently gave seventy animals to a
North Korean zoo. Zoo officials say animals were they were cute,
they were adorable, they were extremely cuddly and also absolutely delicious.
Brandon Darby, have you ever eaten zoo animals before?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
No, never had a zoo animal.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Apparently you're eating pimento cheese right now. During this interview, like,
you don't even care that you're on the radio.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
I do not care. I'm eating tomino cheese. I'm strategically
pushing mute so that i can kind of like when
you go to the bathroom and you're on a business
call or you're on the phone and you're like, I
really have to urinate, but I'm on the phone. I
don't want to get off the phone. So you ask
a complex question, they start talking, you push mute, you
start to be they ask you a question, and they pause.
(21:52):
You have to stop the stream, unmute. It's a very
stressful thing. But eating pamino cheese as much, you know,
eating while out of radio interview is kind of like
going to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, I know, I do it all the time. I'm
going to the bathroom right now. Actually, Hey, I have
a theory I want to bounce off you. You're a
pretty smart guy. You're very you're very aware of what's
going on with foreign policy issues.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Here's my theory.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Trump takes office and he quietly negotiates an end, very
quickly negotiates an end to the Ukraine War, which apparently
he's already been negotiating even while he wasn't president.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Over the last few years, Dems realize he was.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Negotiating with foreign leaders while he wasn't yet president, a
violation of the Logan Act. And then they try to
impeach him a third time, this time for ending World
War three.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 6 (22:39):
You know, I this entire ordeal watch him. You know,
Biden's got us on the brink of a of a
major war that we could end up with Brown troops involved,
right with our with our sons and daughters. Because remember
remember girls and boys, there's no difference, right, that's a
(22:59):
choice trying to city people.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, And so.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
They have us in a situation where they're they're playing
a dangerous game of briaksmanship, being hyper aggressive about it.
They got voted out of office, and so they're like, well,
let's hurry up and just just ramp it up before
we leave. Right, Let's let's force the hand. Let's let's
allow you know, Ukraine, which is in itself is a
(23:23):
is a is no different than Russia. It's a very
corrupted autocracy, and it's a It's like, let's let's allow
them to Let's give them land minds, Right, Let's give
them land mines that are going to blow up kids
legs for years to come. Let's give them land mines.
Let's let them use missiles deep into Russian territory. Let's
let's just ramp up the funding before we leave office
and try to make it where the next president can't
(23:46):
do anything. Screw the will of the people, screw what
they voted for, screw the mandate. This next guy gets like,
we're going to do what we want to do anyways,
and and this is uh, you know, this is what
we're seeing, and we see it across the board. And
I hate to bring up other stuff, but I was
reading this article about Pete Heads and.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They want to make him head of the penal, well,
just defense secretary. It's pretty well certainly.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Right, But I'm reading what the left media is doing
to this guy. You know, it's like some lady. He
obviously had sex with some lady. The lady said it
wasn't consensual. Uh maybe I don't know. I wasn't there,
but I'm going to tell you at this point, at
this point, like you know, at this point, I'm I
(24:31):
really feel like this hashtag me too stuff it only
comes out right, like it only comes out Biden's been
a qus They didn't care. Tons of Democrats have been accused.
They don't care. They cared in the very heat of
the me too movement, but then they quit caring, right
they started, They quit caring about about allegations against everything
from Bill Clinton onward. And and they pull out the
(24:54):
me too card when it when it benefits them, right,
they pull out the me too card when it benefits them.
And watching them try to revitalize and amp up me
too again after we just had a president who likes
to bite babies and little girls and touch their breasts
and awkwardly when he's standing by them, and smell them
all the time, smelling little girls and little It's like,
(25:16):
come on, man, you know, come on, Like I don't
know what happened with p XP, but one person making
an accusation cannot and should not ruin the life of
another human being. You know, we've lost touch of that,
we've lost track of that. Talking to some of my
left leaning friends, one who's a professor, and she said, well,
you know, women have been so abused and done wrong,
(25:37):
but even if we should believe all women, even if
it means a few men who are innocent get their
lives ruined. It's worth it to make sure no rape
victim ever goes without justice. And I'm like, wait, that
is a complete bastardization of everything I've ever believed in,
Like that is like like it's better than in a
guilty man walk, one guilty man walks, and then are
(25:59):
you know, then an innocent man go to prison or
a hundred guilty then walk, and one innocent man loses freedom.
That's where we come from, and that's where they come from.
They don't care if if so what if a man
is innocent and gets his life or loses his kids,
loses his career, is broken, destitute, registered as a sex offender,
(26:20):
can't live anywhere, can't so what even if he's innocent,
as long as there's no chance that any woman who
ever accuses someone of rape or assault gets to walk,
gets to not have justice. And you know, it's like
wait a minute, like that's not who we are, and
so that's who they are, right, And they use that
card selectively. If you're a right leaning male, if you're
(26:41):
pete heads, then then they throw it at you. But
if it's if it's one of their own, they don't
know that's that's true, and I'm sorry to sidetrack it,
but Department of the Fans Ukraine, it's it's all the
same kind of thing. We're watching the dirtiest tricks. We're
watching the dirty tricks, and like, look that happened to me.
(27:02):
You know, I worked with the FBI. I was very
proud all these left, these leftist activists who were very
well connected to the Democrat Party establishment. They bombs they
were going to throw at Republican delegates. They tried to
prevent Republicans from assembling and picking their candidate. They used violence,
they used force, and I was very proud to have
(27:23):
worked undercover with the FBI to help bust those people.
And they attacked the absolute heck out of me. They
destroyed my character. And it wasn't until Andrew Breitbart saw
what they were doing and heard NPR attacking me that
he said, wait a minute, and then he defended me.
This is how I got into this career. That's how
I became friends with Andrew Briibart. It started defending me
because what I did was right.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Some of you hate the FBI and there's some political
stuff we don't like, and they need to do something
about that. Okay, yes, all agreed. But the concept of
like fighting bombmakers or stopping bombmakers from blowing up cops
and Republicans, that's the stuff out of the FBI about right,
And that's the stuff that I participated in, and I
was very proud of it, and these guys destroyed my character.
(28:06):
And this was back at a time when the right
didn't really have a voice, and so now we're not
in those days anymore. We're not in the days. We're
left of center. Journalists have all power and they can
just destroy you if they want, and the left establishment
can destroy you and there's no fighting back. And so
what you're seeing is in trying to use those old
tricks and destroy people, and they're not getting to anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I mean, I think you explained it well.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Obviously I feel a little differently about the FBI than you,
but I think the rest of it spot on. I
don't think Pete Headsec did anything wrong. I think they're
going after Pete hag Seth because he is not part
of the military industrial complex. I think they're going after
Matt Gates because he ousted Kevin McCarthy and John Cornyn's
mad that his golf club buddy doesn't get to be
Speaker of the House anymore, so Matt Gates doesn't get
(28:53):
to be Attorney General. It's the UNI Party, And to
your point, I think you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
At the end of the day, the legacy is dying
and we get to.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
See the fruits of our efforts and destroying the legacy
media with these cabinet picks from Trump, let's hope they
get confirmed. Brandon Darby find him on Twitter or Breitbart
dot com.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness radio. Pursuit
of Happiness. We don't have that in Mexico. Comedian Tim
athis right after this, We're going to Hollywood. Stick around
before we go. I always like to use this. I
always like to use this.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Time to talk about what happened in Hollywood this week.
I guess there's no way we could do a Hollywood
report without telling you this. Ellen Degenerous announced she is
moving to rural England and never coming back to America.
Now she's making it sound like it's because of Trump.
Let's pretend hypothetically it's because of Trump. Two postmenopausal lesbians
(29:47):
are moving to England because they're worried they can't get
an abortion.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
This is a real news story.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Apparently it's just a spoiled, pappered, narcissistic Hollywood brat.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Or what or what?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
She's not from Hollywood, he's from Texas. He just works
in Hollywood because he's a comedian. He's a comedy writer
and tim mathis what? Was Ellen already going to move
to England? Didn't she just have a failed comedy special?
They canceled her show a few weeks ago. She tried
to make a comeback. This didn't have anything to do
with Trump. She was already gonna leave America.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
I right, she was gonna move to Sweden. But apparently
she heard that there were already a thousand dykes over there.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh got it, got it. He's damns. He means he's
talking about water. You guys are exactly.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Yeah, he's not a fan of hydro electricity.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
That's what That's what he meant, right, Yeah, that's what
we're referring to. Of course. Yeah, but I get I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Think she was actually gonna I think she was already
You keep up with this. Isn't there a comedy special
she put out recently that got critically panned.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Uh yeah, and not only that, there's a good chance
she's on a certain types of lists some people are
gonna be exiting the country for. If you remember, one
of her sets was very similar to the Epstein Island compounds.
So there are keep in mind that Glaine Maxwell liked
(31:14):
underage girls as well as Jeffrey Epstein. So the thought
that there were also many other bisexual or lesbian women
who were also into that, and maybe people like Ellen
DeGeneres might be tangentially involved or directly involved with that
thing is very possible.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Okay, you know, Ellen was very good friends with p Diddy.
But you're right, I never noticed before the set of
her TV show did kind of look like Epstein Island.
I never thought about that until you pointed out. But
there's pictures on it of the internet.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, Wow, that's pretty creepy, dude.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Symbolism is very popular among these folks that are involved
in that type of thing because they want to symbolize
to the other people that are involved in that type
of thing, hey, hey, we're cool. We're cool.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Well, speaking of Michelle Obama's friends, that Jesse Smallett hate
crime hoax conviction has been overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court. Now,
if you watched his lawyer explain what happened, you'd think
that they proved he was innocent and this whole thing
was one big sham.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
That's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
He got all the charges were basically dropped on a technicality,
essentially because of something the Cook County State's attorney, Kim
Fox did. But in reality, he's still guilty. It's just
in the eyes of the law, he's not guilty simply
because they did they executed the investigation in the trial wrong.
Jesse Smalltt's still a bad guy. I mean, this doesn't
(32:43):
exonerate him.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Well, apparently the prosecutor is on record as saying, don't
get it twisted. Somebody is going to go to jail
for this crime, and it will be Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Ugh.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
They're going to try to find some way to charge
this crime on Donald Trump eventually, so justice will be served.
It will just be a special kind of justice.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Interesting, all right, So question for you here, you and
I were talking about this off the air. You find
it a little odd that even though he killed somebody,
they're still going to release the movie Rust and Alec
Baldwin is still going to appear on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Isn't that kind of creepy.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
It's something that's really bothering me at this point. Apparently
they're gonna release rust. It's gonna have a mention for
Helene or Helena Helena Hutchins, They're gonna, you know, mention
her in it. Her mother is still obviously and rightfully
enraged by the whole situation because she feels that justice
(33:47):
wasn't served and her daughter was killed and nobody that
was directly responsible. I e. Alec Baldwin even got in
trouble for it. But the SNL thing really bothers me
because I mean, whether or not he was, you know,
found guilty or whatever. I know he got off on
a technicality as well, and they're just acting like he
didn't kill a mother at a workplace shooting, and they're
(34:12):
just putting him back on SNL to do terrible RFK impersonations,
by the way, which is him making fun of somebody
with an actual physical disability. I thought that's something that
we frowned upon.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, right, it was RFK Junior's voice.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I thought that was a weird choice too, But yeah,
they're like, heyah, here's a convicted murderer to make fun
of a man with health while he's not a convicted murder.
Here's a known murderer to make fun of a guy
with health issues.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
That's a good point, tim exactly.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
It's like, what are we doing here? We're acting like
is there no other of the millions of comedic actors
out there? And I'm not even saying me because I'm
not a great impression. It'st but are we going to
sit here and say that Alec Baldwin, who you've had
play Trump for the last what or five years and
then he took two years off when he killed a
(35:03):
mother on set, and now you bring him back instead
of bringing the one of the millions of people who
haven't killed somebody in a workplace incident, and you're just
gonna act like this guy is just hunky dory and
we're all back in the club and everything's fine, and no, well,
yeah he had a little bump in the road, but
it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, I mean, he killed somebody. It's pretty dark and demented,
and I can't look at him now and not think
about how he killed someone.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
That's horrific. Okay, let's talk about famously.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Famously the actor that killed Brandon Lee on the set
of The Crow. It shattered him mentally, which is understandable
because the last thing you expect when you go on
set is to take the life of somebody, and you
would obviously feel guilt for it. The thing that bothers
me is Alec Baldwin isn't guilty. He has no shame,
(35:54):
He has no guilt in his heart. He thinks that
he did nothing wrong, and that blows me my mind.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, it's same here, Tim, I mean, you explained that perfectly.
You're so right about that. All right, Let's talk about
Katy Perry. Katy Perry campaigned for Kamala. She thinks Kamala
should be your mama law. She really wanted her to
be president. Then Kamala lost. Now Katie Perry is on
social media telling people they need to go watch the
movie Idiocracy because that's the Trump administration. Does Katie not
(36:25):
realize most Trump supporters like the movie Idiocracy. They think
Idiocracy is making fun of liberals. Does she not get that?
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Yeah, it's it's weird. Every four years, idiocracy trends because
the other side thinks the other side is Idiocracy personified.
But Katy Perry is one hundred percent entrenched into whatever
has gone on in Hollywood and music for the last
fifty years. He's famously the daughter of a evangelical pastor,
(36:57):
I believe, and has talked about how she went completely
the opposite way of her religious teachings, which is the
opposite of what her ex husband, Russell Brand has done.
Russell Brand was famously a sex litario and a heroin addict.
He talked about it himself, and he's really cleaned up
his life and gone the opposite route. And you know,
people like Katy Perry are are just completely taken by
(37:23):
this mind virus thing, this high mind of debauchery that
is Hollywood. And you know, she campaigned hard for Kamala
and they lost. And you know, like I said, some
very unfortunate lists may be coming out soon, and I'm
sure if they do come out, Katy Perry will be
(37:44):
somewhere on there.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah, no kidding, dude.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I mean the movie Idiocracy is a movie about people
like Katy Perry. That's very funny to me. Hey, before
we get out of here, real one more quick one.
I want to bounce off you. Wicked is debuting this
weekend in movie theaters.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It's supposed to be a big deal, the.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Broadway musicals being turned into a film starring ari On
a Grande and that chick from Wakanda Forever I guess
and anyway, the two of them.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
It's a movie where they sing.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
It's a musical, but apparently AMC has told moviegoers you
may not sing along during the movie, and that kind
of take away the fun of going to see a musical.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
It's kind a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Look, I'm not gonna see this anyway, but they kind
of made something lame even more lame with the stupid
lame rule.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Well, me and all my swifty friends are going to
be singing in it, I can tell you that much.
I will be singing loud and proud. I follow the
entire Broadway run of Wicked, so I will be in
costume and in tune, singing along.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
You go girl. Tim mathis at Tim Mathis Comedy. Find
him on Instagram and Twitter. To the rest of you,
I love you. I'll have an awesome even a weekend.
We'll be back Monday morning for more of what you
bought a radio for.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
The pursuit of happiness. Radial tell the government to kiss
your ass when you listen to the show.
