Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The suit of Happiness radio is
dux Liberty and freedom will make you smile of a
suit of happiness us on your radiotyle just as cheese.
We're just saying a liberty rise at food.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Today. Today is Gingerbread House Day, although with Biden's economy
being the way it is, most people under forty will
be lucky to celebrate Gingerbread apartment Day. We have a
lot of guests here this afternoon. Some might say too
many guests, but those people would be wrong. It's the
perfect amount of guests. Three three guests will be here.
I hope I'm saying I'm in the right order. Who

(00:42):
stopped by this afternoon. Let's see. First of all, we've
got Austin Peterson here. I started talking a little bit
yesterday about a new article that he wrote. I love
the Libertarian Nationalist's Manifesto. I'm a libertarian nationalist. What does
that mean? We'll talk about that, of course, obviously. It's
why I'm telling you about it right now. Tony Ortiz
is here, one of the most hated journalysts in the
state of Texas. He's weighing in on this thing with

(01:03):
Dustin Burrows and David Cook the controversy in Austin over
the feud to see who's the new House Speaker. Yeah,
once again, Rhino Republicans colluding with liberal Democrats. Where's Governor
Abbott to save the day? Why didn't he do anything?
It's a good question. Hang out for that. And comedian
Tim Mathis is here with a report from Hollywood. We'll
get to that, but first I got to read you
this thing that Matt Gates wrote on Twitter. It's terrible.

(01:26):
Listen to this, Dear black people, he wrote. Can you
believe that? Matckates said, Dear black people, I don't know
why I feel the need to keep talking to you.
I don't know why part of me still has hope
for you and for us. Some of you are too
far gone. I'm just kidding. Macates didn't write that. No, Actually,
Jamal Bowman said the equivalent of that, but he said
it about black people. Breitbart dot com today reporting on

(01:49):
Jamal Bowman, a Democrat from New York, on his way
out the door. Such an awful person. He lost his
own primary in his own party by seventy points. He's
now a Dear white people, it's racist. This will soon
be former representative Jamal Bowman. By the way, his Indian
name is lies about pulling fire alarms. He's very angry

(02:10):
over the fact that Daniel Penny was acquitted, so he
related his deep thinking on Twitter. Ex Twitter the most racist, condescending,
narcissistic way imaginable, exactly what we all expect from him.
He said the following. He said, Dear white people, I
don't know why I feel the need to talk to you.
I don't know why part of me still has hope
for you. Some of you are too far gone. I

(02:31):
just want to call out the hypocrisy and the evil
of it all. I won't rely completely on you, because
I know what's most important is to work with my
community and blah blah, blah, blah blah. At this point,
Bowman earned a community note. He got fact checked on
Twitter because two of those former officers. He made some
points about the Rodney King trial. He said that the
officers from the Rodney King trial were never convicted. They

(02:53):
were actually they did go to jail, and on and on.
Bowman goes like this, George Floyd's mentioned without mentioning the
universal disgust at his murder across all racial lines, or
the fact that the police officer in question was convicted
and sent to prison. That's weird. You're mad when a
white guy who happens to be a cop kills a
black guy and goes to prison. You don't think it

(03:13):
should have happened at all. And I agree it shouldn't
have happened at all. But justice was served. Derek Chauvin
did go to prison. You understand that, right, Do you
not get that? Nowhere does Bowman mentioned the plague of
horrendous black on black violence, which accounts for most of
the people that are murdered in the black community. Most
black people that are murdered, I mean the vast majority

(03:33):
of them are murdered by other black people. They're not
murdered by white cops. This isn't about denigrating black people either.
I'm just saying what he's talking about isn't even accurate.
No where does Bowman mentioned that non white people helped
Daniel Penny restrain Jordan Neely, and black people thanked Daniel
Penny for protecting them from Jordan Neely. This preening narcissist

(03:55):
then makes everything about him. He says, quote, I've left
out probably another one hundred insta and says, of this
trauma in my life end quote. He then asked a
real stupid question. Just days after we all watch the
assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Happens to be
a white guy. He says, quote, for comparison, I ask
white people, how many times have you seen a white
man killed in cold blood on camera on your news feed? Well,

(04:19):
just the other day for starters, But okay. Then he
adds quote, I wish I didn't have to live with
all this trauma deep in my bones. I wish I
could just be free to be me. Ah, Joe Jamal
Bowman can't be himself, and that's your fault, radio listener.
He then closes with this quote, rest in peace, Jordan Neely.
The justice system failed you. Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny

(04:42):
are free. You're gone. We must still fight end quote. Well,
because he was voted on him office by his fellow Democrats,
not by Republicans, by a margin of fifty nine to
forty one, Bowman will soon have to do his fighting
and deal with this precious trauma outside the House of Representatives. Oh,
poor guy, We'll probably go back to hiding from reality
in academia as well. You know he's a doctor of education.

(05:06):
Why do they always love telling you that? Oh that
reminds me. We have a great segment coming up. Stick
around right after this, we're gonna get a phone call
from Austin Peterson, one of the liberty movement thought leaders,
and big waves are happening. MAGA is helping to promote libertarianism.
We'll tell you about it. Hey, it's me the Donald.

(05:27):
You're listening to the Pursuit of Happiness radio.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Voice games.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh yeah, we're back.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Kathy Griffin wants to be the next Golden Bachelorette. Instead
of a rose, she will hand out poorly aged body parts.
That'll be fun. Thanks for turning the radio on. I'm
so excited to talk to this next guest and to
talk about this topic. Have you ever had an idea
or a thought that you just loved and you felt
passionately about it for a long time, but you didn't
have a name for it or a word, like some

(05:57):
of you were conservatives. Imagine if you didn't have a
term for conservative or Catholics. Imagine if you were a
Catholic but you didn't have a word for Catholicism and
you wanted to express it to people and why you
felt so passionately about it, like a lot of you
that listened to this radio show at this radio station.
I was part of the Tea Party movement. I was
a Ron Paul Republican. And when the next rise of
right wing populism started, it wasn't quite my brand of

(06:20):
you know, right wing thought ideology, but it was certainly
better than what the left was offering, and that was
maga populism. Right. I'm not on board with everything they do,
but I'll tell you what, when you look at the
five big subjects, I mean, four out of five is
a hell of a lot better than zero out of five.
I think that during Trump one point zero, one of
the people that made it real palatable for me easier
to digest was Senator ran Paul. Senator Ran Paul came

(06:42):
out with his liberty minded ideas and he pointed out
how a lot of stuff Trump was doing was great
for libertarians, you know, lowercaseyle libertarians, but he didn't give
it a name. At some point I actually heard Matt
Gates with very similar policy positions as Ran Paul once
used the word libertarian nationalists to just describe himself, and
I heard him or a libertarian populist. I forget which

(07:03):
exactly it was, and then and I remember hearing that
and thinking, Yeah, that's that's me. I'm a liberty minded guy.
I'm a populist. I'm a libertarian, but I'm not an anarchist.
I'm not for open borders. I'm not for you know,
or things like the the non aggression policy that belief
that NAP they call it in the libertarian movement. I'm
against that. I think once in a while you got

(07:24):
to stand up and fight. You gotta kick ass, right.
I get the idea, you know, do no harm or whatever,
but once in a while you gotta fight your enemies.
For a long time, I've been a fan of this guy.
Austin Peterson. Austin Peterson is a brilliant author, a podcaster,
radio personality from Missouri. He's been on the show many times.
He created a website called the Libertarian Republic. He actually

(07:45):
runs our online store for our morning show, The Walton
and Johnson Show. You can shop at I love WJ
dot com. A lot of great stuff there, and Austin
is just a brilliant guy. He really is. He's a
really good author, and he just published this article on
humanevents dot com, a website ran and operated by another
friend of the show, Jack post a Bit. The article
is called a Manifesto for Libertarian Nationalists. I started talking

(08:08):
about it and reading from the article yesterday on the air,
and it was too long for me to explain it
all in one segment. So I reached out to Austin
and I asked him if he would call into the
show today. And this is a very long introduction for
me to get to this guest. But Austin, thanks for
joining us, my brother, It's very cool to.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Have you here. Yeah, and Merry Christmas to you and
to all of your listeners. I'm very glad to have
such kind of words in a great introduction. And you know,
I wrote this manifesto and just think, Kenny, I didn't
even have to murder a single person to get people
to hear my idea is.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Sounds great. I'm glad nobody died. Yeah, there's not enough
manifestos that aren't coupled with homicide. I like that about this.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
I mean, you and I we came from the raw
Ron Paul camp, right, we remember those heady years during
the Tea Party. We were ascended, But for about the
last decade the ideas of individuals and liberty have sort
of taken a back seat. Except for now. There is
this strange juxtaposition where we were sort of out of it,

(09:10):
right the fight was over, and you know, the libertarian
moment was not going to arrive, and then comes this
Vivi Gram of Swami, and then coupled with Elon Musk
and Donald Trump's team having this diverse group of characters,
many some populists them just really nineteen nineties democrats who
haven't gone woke, like RFK Junior. But the vi Gram

(09:32):
of Swamy specifically was talking about this concept of libertarian
nationalism that I think in many ways, it's strange how
the liberty move in the United States reacted to these things,
just like how they reacted to the election of Javier
and Malay and Argentina. Some of them reacted with revulsion,
some of them are attacked Pavier and Malay and are
still attacking him. Many libertarianes of the United States see

(09:54):
what Elon Musk and what v Vank Gromolsomi are doing
right now is at the enemy it's the evil at
the other their other it right, and I'm embracing it
because this, this libertarian nationalism as I've tried to define it,
maybe well maybe poorly, and you know, fourteen page manifesto
is to me this new way. Maybe it's not a

(10:15):
new way of thinking, but maybe it's just a way
that libertarians have never really presented themselves as is standing
up strongly for your beliefs. Because I'll be honest, I've
always been kind of a minority, in a minority in
the sense that like, yeah, I'm a libertarian, but like
not one of those weirdo libertarians and with the kids
and the transgender stuff. Yeah, I believe in economics of

(10:35):
free markets and things like that, but I'm just, you know,
I'm not like I've just felt different, like I don't
fit in. And I'm a constitutional and honestly, I consider
myself to be an American, and I think that the
United States itself is the vessel the repository of libertarian
ideals to the greatest extent in the civilized world. And

(10:57):
so what I fear, Kenny, and I'll finish this and
let you take run with it too. What I fear
is that there is this strange nihilism is that exists
in libertarian thought that sees, you know, elections is meaningless, right,
you know, until Hobbier Malega's elected, and then all of
a sudden we suddenly love these things. But as you know,
this kind of loser mindset and this this this they

(11:20):
look at it. It's this weird phenomenon where you have
right wingers who look at American history and world history
the same way that woke leftists black lives matter to
right like, these are people who want to tear down Jefferson,
not his statues physically, but they're sort of cultural vandals.
They they they also like they turn against Ronald Reagan

(11:43):
because he was too libertarian. They say, right, this this
strange authoritarian impulse that crosses over in our circles. Kenny.
But I feel like in the in all of this,
it's someone who says, you know, I'm not really a
conservative because you know, I feel like conservative and really
has too much to do with progressivism. I'm not a

(12:03):
libertarian nihilist. I think that the United States is the
greatest sports for good in the world, and I don't
blame it for all's problems despite acknologist laws. I don't
apologize for the American pioneers. I don't apologize for my ancestors.
I believe in my country and I'll stand for her,
but never the government. And I'm a libertarian nationalist. I
believe in liberty, and I believe in the American experiment.

(12:25):
I believe in America is a nation, is a repository
of those ideals, and it's up to us to enforce
the constitution and enforce the ideals and to keep the
spirit of the Declaration of Independence alive.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Kenny, I love it. I think it's great, dude. I
think this is a great idea. People always think the
word nationalist is a dirty word. I remind you, Nelson Mandela,
as a nationalist, nationalism means the opposite of globalism. You
want policies that are good for your countrymen, not necessarily
providing welfare to the whole world. I think most of
our listeners get what libertarianism is. What's the difference between

(12:57):
your general running the middle libertarianism and libertarian nationalism.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Well, you're average run the middle of libertarian It's probably
going to be more more on the pacifist side of things.
The United States, the United States. I think in the
liberty moved, atleast those who run who run the largest
like pages online, right, they tend to be more of
the persuasion to be foreign policy isolationists, right. And I

(13:24):
say isolationists specifically. You know there are non interventionists, right.
And you know, without getting too into the nitty gritty
details of this, but if you're an anarchist and you
believe in no government, then all war, of course is
evil and can never be justified and under in any circumstance. Well,
does that include the American Revolution? Well if they say, well,
the American Revolution wasn't just war, well you're not really

(13:46):
an anarchist at that point. You no longer anti war.
You're probably just a libertarian nationalist who is afraid to
admit that the United States, Yes, has done some terrible
things in this past, but that doesn't that doesn't mean
that it hasn't done greater goods. Like consider George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson. Yes, they were slaveholders. Were they great men
of history worthy to be admired and praised and emulated? Yes,

(14:09):
because the good that they did in this life outweighed
the evil that they had done. Because reality is that
more things are more complicated because I think a lot
of libertarians want to make things, oh, just leave us,
If we just leave them alone overseas, for example, foreign policy,
then they won't attack us over here. And you know,

(14:29):
while I agreed that the Iraq War was a complete
boondog or and a total mistake, and you know was
you know for war war profiteering. If we left them
alone over there, Kenny, there's no historic record or case
where they have left us alone over here right in
the in the in the foundational like history the Pantheon,
with Thomas Jefferson and Madison and George Washington, they were

(14:54):
getting attacked by the Middle East as soon as the
United States was founded, pressed into slavery and we had
the Barbary Wars. It was the reason that the US
Navy was created is because they wouldn't leave us alone.
They were they were attacking us on the high seas.
They've impressed us into slavery. Right and but of course
then you see the conspiracy. This is this cultural nihilism
I talked about. And FDR was a terrible president, but

(15:17):
of course they have to weave this narrative that not
only was FDR a terrible bad guy and anti conservative,
anti libertarian. I totally agree. But he actually planned Pearl Harbor, right,
he flew, he you know, he managed. It was his fault.
It was America's fault that the Japanese attacked, the imperial Japanese,
a theocratic dictator, imperial dictatorship. It was it was the

(15:44):
American's fault that we at Pearl Harbor because of the
sale of oil. And it's always this self loathing because
it's this self hatred that they share with the left.
They hate themselves, they hate they hate their country. It's
a misanthropic kind of a libertarianism. It's a doom scrolling
end of days, no hope for the United States. Trump

(16:04):
will never drain a swamp Elon Vivek never gonna have.
It's this nihilistic nothing matters view of foreign policy rather
than a realist view of foreign policy, which is, should
we spend less money blowing up every third world country
in the world. Probably, Should we have a more lean,
mean military, Yes, it should be effective, but we need
a military. We need to be able to defend the

(16:25):
United States. And that makes me a nationalist because I
think the United States needs a strong military to protect
and defend ourselves in our constitution from threats and invasions.
And they're not doing any of that right now. But
that's what the mission should be focused on. Libertarian nationalism,
like what Javier Malay is doing in Argentina to a
great extent. By the way, I just heard like ten

(16:46):
minutes ago that we're signing a free trade agreement with them.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (16:49):
How about them apples? Right, you talked about that thing.
You might not be on board with the MAGA agenda.
Look at that the tariff question. Look at that, let's go,
we can have good relationships. Look at that. That's a man, Kenny,
that's that's this is what we want. So we're getting
what we want, and you know, people like Ann Culter
are not happy about it because people like you and me,

(17:10):
the libertarian nationalists, we would vote for probably you would,
I would get I would think, I would guess that
you would vote for v Vake Ramasam would I.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Would donate to his campaign and I would campaign for him, Okay.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
And Culture would not, right, because she's a different kind
of a nationalist than you and I, because she doesn't
believe that someone who is not a white Anglo Saxon
Protestant male should be at president of the United States.
But there are plenty of wasps who have destroyed this country.
Right and if and if a hint and if a
Hindu believing uh a libertarian nationalist Republican man like the

(17:45):
Vake Ramaswami would run for president United States, I would
vote for him because we have to have a nation
that can accommodate all of the people of the United
all the citizens of the United States from the Alaskan
Alutian Islands to Key West. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
I don't understand this idea showing allegiance to white people, Like,
come on, I'm not gonna support George W. Bush because
he's white. I'm not going to support Nancy Pelosi because
she's Italian, just because my mom is Austin. You have
done an amazing job articulating what libertarian nationalism is. People
spend so much time talking about how Blacks help get
Trump elected, Arabs help get Trump elected. Not enough time

(18:22):
is spent talking about the Libertarians for MAGA movement and
the Libertarian Nationalism Manifesto just published at humannature dot com,
Human events dot com. Excuse me really explains it perfectly.
I encourage everyone to read this, and while you're at it,
I think a lot of people are amazed to find
out the guy that runs the online store for the
morning show, for our morning show, The Walton and Johnson Show,

(18:44):
is in and of himself a really brilliant author, journalist,
podcaster with a cult following of his own, Austin Peterson.
Follow him online and check out I Love WJ dot
com to see some of the great stuff he's put
together for us. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Dig it.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Japan Airlines. That's an airline. It's called Japan Airlines. Not
the most creative thing, like a racial Isn't it weird
that there's a racial slur called Chinaman? That's all it is.
That's the racial slur, just the country they're from and
their gender. Anyway, Japan Airlines is now offering to drop
passengers luggage off at their hotels, as opposed to Spirit Airlines,
which drops your luggage somewhere over Missouri. I think that's great. Hi,

(19:24):
everybody thinks you coming back. I'm Kenny Webster. Coming up
In the next segment, Tim mathis stand up comedian is
going to be dropping by. We're gonna go to Hollywood
where apparently, I don't know if you've heard about this.
This P Diddy guy does not sound like he's a
very nice fella. And we'll give you all the latest
details on that. But before we get to any of that,
I was just looking at a story here in the
Houston Chronicle. Don't change the channel, don't. I'm not a lib.

(19:47):
I look at the local news and this is not
an endorsement of the Houston Chronicle, but they published some
raw data a few days ago where were the young
male voters in Harris County this presidential election? And they
almost published it as to say, like, why don't young
men want to come out and vote for Democrats. That's
the gist of this article. Imagine the insanity of this
for just a minute. Here's a political party that tells men,

(20:11):
young men that just graduated from high school or college
or whatever it may be, you're a man, so you're horrible.
You're a rapist. Even if you've never had a girlfriend
who had sex before, you're a rapist. You're toxic. You
destroyed the world. All the problems we've ever had in
this country are your fault. We want to pass laws
that punish people for hiring you. Right, that's what that is.

(20:32):
They're very clear about this. Jerry Madler admitted that to
a journalist he didn't know the journalist was a comedian.
At the Democrat National Convention this year, Jerry Madler, a
leader in the Democrat Party, admitted, out loud, we would
like to have a higher tax rate in this country
for white men or just men in general. So you
hear that and you think, gosh, why didn't those young
men that were just told all of those things, why

(20:54):
didn't they want to come out and vote for Democrats? Now,
sitting in front of me, right now, I have a
young man, one of my favorit people here at the
news station. Ethan is one of the young journalists here
at KTRH. I love Ethan. I love him so much
that I actually don't know what your last name is, Ethan?
What is your last name?

Speaker 4 (21:09):
You ken?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I knew that it's eight. I did actually know that
because no relation to Pat. We joked about that before.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Right.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Have you read Death of the West?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (21:17):
You know I have not?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Have I asked you that before? I don't think so.
Pap Buchanan wrote a book called Death of the West.
It's brilliant. He wrote this thing back in the early
two thousands, and it's a book that talks about all
the stuff that's going on right now. It was an
early precursor to the MAGA movement. It was an early
precursor to libertarian nationalism, which is actually what I was
just talking to Austin Peterson about in the last segment.

(21:39):
Now I'm beating around the bush here. I'm doing though,
what do they call what does Trump call this? The sway,
the weave, the weeks. I'm doing the weave right now.
But I want to I wanted to ask you a
question because you're doing a story down the hall at
k TRH right now about why young men did not
come out and vote. And I noticed a few things
about you. You're young. How old are you? Twenty one?
So I'm right there in that demographic. You're a twenty

(22:00):
one year old right leaning. I don't know if you're real.
I don't know if your journalism and your politics have
anything to do with each other, but I know you're
not a liberal right I've seen you wear a Ron
Paul for President's shirt to work today, not today, but
in the past Ethan you voted. Yeah, but my analysis there,
my saying it all in jest. Why didn't young men
want to come out and support the local Democrat party,

(22:21):
isn't it kind of obvious? Yeah? No, you hit the
nail on the head.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
We've been told growing up throughout all levels, and thank
god I was homeschooled, but I have a lot of
friends in the public school, and this narrative is everywhere there.
Growing up, I would hear all the time about all
the terrible things that white men and white people did,
and you know that's that's nobody's going to vote for that.
Nobody's going to vote for the politicians that are saying,

(22:47):
oh my gosh, you're terrible because you're white. You're terrible
because of that. These are immutable characteristics that white men
have no control over. We can't fix the fact that
we're white. Depending on who you ask, you can maybe
fix the fact that you're a man. But sure, well now,
but nobody wants to go through all that. So, I mean,
we've got these people telling us that we're terrible because

(23:07):
of something we can't control, because of things we didn't
do in the past, hundreds of years ago. I'm not
going to come out and vote for you. For that,
I'd probably just stay home, because you know, we want
to be cool, we want to be hip, and you know,
until just recently, being Republican was not that. So you've
got the choice to become a social outcast because you're
an evil Republican, or go out and vote for the

(23:29):
people that hate your guts because of something you can't control.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
So I stay home, you don't vote. One in three
black men in the state of Texas voted for Wesley Hunt.
Now you might think, well, that's our not Wesley Hunt.
They voted for Donald Trump, and they voted probably because
of Wesley Hunt. The reason I said his name is
he came on our radio show that morning and shared
that information with us. I didn't know that till today.
A lot of young men, black, Hispanic Asian people that

(23:52):
you wouldn't expect are pushed over to the right right now.
You're a conservative, You're you know, liberty minded, small government guy.
For someone your age, I would think you're very smart,
because when I was your age, I didn't know a
lot of kids that shared my politics. I've never been
a left winger. But what's actually kind of interesting about
you as Zoomer and me, a millennial is that there
actually are a lot of you guys who are conservative,

(24:15):
and that wasn't the case ten fifteen years ago. We
didn't have a lot of young male conservatives. Now we
have tons of them. What do you attribute that to.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
I think it's a mix of things. I think it's
partially what we've talked about recently. And then, like you mentioned,
Donald Trump has kind of made conservatism cool again. We've
seen people that you know, young men identify with, you know,
people like Joe Rogan, who you know, maybe isn't a
traditional conservative like we normally think about, but he's kind

(24:45):
of opened the door to people to start thinking like that.
He's kind of made that cool and normal again. I mean,
you listen to more and more comedians really are kind
of talking about how, like, listen, we're trying to do comedy,
but we can't say what we want anymore because of
how controlling the left is gotten and that kind of
pushes people towards Okay, well, what's the party that's really

(25:07):
going to let me do what I want?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Because that's what young people want.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
They want to just be rebels and do basically whatever
they want and more and more, the left has given
away the fact that while they have pretended to be
that for so many years, they're not. Actually they use
that message of we will let you do what you want,
we'll let you marry who you want, whatever as a
mask to hide the fact that they're actually really trying
to control you a lot more and Republicans have increasingly

(25:33):
become the party that's like, we don't really care what
you do, so long as you don't hurt anybody else. Right,
you can say whatever you want on YouTube, you can,
you know, make jokes you want to make jokes about.
You can go out and you know, play with guns,
and you know, as long as you're not hurting anybody,
do what you want. And young people identify with that
more than you're a bigot and you're racist and we
hate you.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
What about crypto? My generation was the first generation to
make money off crypto. My my friends, my colleagues, my
mentors roll their eyes me when I told him about crypto,
and the Democrats are very much against it. Trump viveag
elon they love crypto. Do you think that anything to
do with swaying your generation, particularly the young men, to
come over to the right. I think so.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
I think so because I mean crypto offers that kind
of freedom that offers you the ability to kind of
end around the government, which is, you know, less government
is always good, and more people are realizing that. So
if you've got an entire currency that allows you to
basically dodge the.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Government, sure why not?

Speaker 4 (26:29):
And then that, plus, let's be honest, the memes around
it have not heard it at all, the all the
memes about crypto, and you know, if you get a
good meme going about anything, young people will flock to it.
So that's definitely helped. And then if you have a
party that's being more friendly to the thing that you
like because of memes, of course.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Dude, I got to tell you, I want our listeners
to follow our gen Z News reporter Underscore Ethan Buchanan
on Twitter. I'm actually posting a tweet right now, follow
our gen Z News reporter Underscore Ethan Buchanan, and he's
going far. I am a big fan of you. I
hope you keep up the auesome work, and I am
grateful for you today. I'm glad you brought up that
thing about stand up comedy, Ethan. I was just listening

(27:08):
to this bit by Ryan Long. This is so funny.
Listen to this crime. My favorite was the attack ads.
You guys remember when they were just like.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
Jamala Harris wants to give sex changes to criminals, right,
And I watched that and I'm like, Holy, this woman
hates criminals because that would stop crime. Right, You're like
mixer for good boys. She's just there with novelty scissors.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
No, bring Fenton all over the border. Yeah, try. I
would love to see that. Just's on a spike in
all the prisons.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
You've got Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Turn that down, Turn down the alternative rock. You have
to do a radio show, ladies and gentlemen. Jamie Fox
revealed that he was unconscious for three weeks during his
medical emergency last year. Awkwardly, when he came to, his
first words were, did I miss any good Diddy parties?
It's just a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood brat or.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
What or what?

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yes, Hollywood one of the worst places on Earth, the
place where they want to kill you and feed your
entrails to aliens on another planet. Okay, maybe it's not
that bad, but it is pretty bad. A cobble of
satanic pedophiles. That's mostly what Hollywood is. And believe it
or not, there is a lot happening today in Hollywood,
a lot of weird stuff. I guess I'll just I
don't know. I put some stories on my screen. Let's

(28:41):
walk through him in order. Here P Diddy accuser claims
he was sodomized at a white party. You get what
that means. It doesn't mean it was like a neo
Nazi clan thing. It means they all wore white clothes
and had a party and at that event. This is
such a sick story, I guess. The accuser claims that
Disgrace music mogal Sean Didtycombs drugged and sodomized him at

(29:03):
a party in two thousand and seven. This was on CNN.
He said, I was screaming, I was telling him to stop.
He was acting like it was nothing. Really disgusting stuff. Meanwhile,
news out of Irving, Texas today the rape allegations against
rapper Jay Z, whose company Rock Nation produces the NFL
halftime shows at the Super Bowl, says he's not going
to impact the relationship with the music mogul Roger Goodell said, Nah,

(29:24):
jay Z's fine. Here are his take on all of
this is Tim mathis a stand up comedian in Hollywood. Tim,
what do you think about what we just learned?

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Oh, it's crazy, it's crazy. The whole Didty stuff is crazy,
but not surprising if you know anything about the history
of it. One of the crazy things is that everybody's
given Ditty a bunch of crap for having a thousand
bottles of baby oil, right, and in his defense, like,
how else are we supposed to cook those babies? Like,

(29:55):
how are you supposed to get a succulate baby meal
without enough baby oil? Nobody wants to eat an ashy
baby in Hollywood. When I go to a Hollywood Satanic
Sect party, which of course is every other Wednesday, you
just really want those succulent babies, you know. So I
don't think it's uh, I don't think it's too much

(30:18):
to expect a thousand bottles of baby All.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Right, that was pretty dark, But I just want to
point out if anyone out there is bothered by what
Tim Mathis just said, he said it in jest, and
he is making fun of what purportedly actually happens in Hollywood.
Those are actual allegations. That's the pizza Gate. It's not
he didn't make that. I mean, he obviously made the
distasteful joke up, but I just want to point out
here that that joke was based on a thing that

(30:42):
a lot of people claim happens in Hollywood, and while
we do not endorse it, we also do not censor
comedians on this show. I'm not here to censor you,
Tim Mathis, even if you did, probably.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
So you're not in the Kendrick Lamar camp of telling
comics what they can and cannot talk about.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
You know, it's funny you bring that up. Why don't
you explain that real quick? I have some news about
Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamer is going to make a comedy
movie with the guys from South Park, and the movie
is supposedly about Kendrick Lamar plays a black guy who
works at a history museum where he's obviously he is
a black guy, but he at the history museum. In
the movie, he's a slavery reinactor. He plays he's an

(31:22):
actor pretending to be an actor pretending to be a slave.
And in the movie he finds out at the museum
that his girlfriend's family used to own his family hundreds
of years ago. And it's a comedy. Weirdly, and obviously
that sounds like a very figuratively speaking dark comedy. But
you know, comedy is supposed to be a little bit offensive.
And now Kendrick Lamar's censoring comedians explain that to us.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Yeah, he had a problem, I guess with a joke
that Andrew Schultz did, and he came out and said
that white comics can't discuss black women.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
And I don't know.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
I do a lot of joke jokes about my ex
so I felt some sort of way about that. The
easiest way to get comics to talk about a subject
is to tell comics not to talk about that subject.
So let's see if it works out for Kendrick. Let's
see if the comics listen to him and take his advice.
Considering that, Uh, I don't know hardly any comics that

(32:19):
tell rappers how to rap, but you know, hey, we'll see.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
We'll see if comics stopped.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
Talking about certain subjects just because some me rapper told
us not to.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
You know, if most people just met you at the
Trader Joe's. They would think Tim Mathis was one of
the whitest guys on earth. But actually, you're very popular
with black audiences. You go out and do a lot
of stand up in front of black crowds, and you
dated a lot of black women, haven't you.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
Oh yeah, I mean black women are great. Any black
women out there listening, hit me up.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
But yeah, it's it's it's weird that that people think.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
They can censor comics when our entire industry is based
on saying, you know, get out of here with your censorship.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, exactly. Okay, speaking of black women, there are quite
a few of them in this new Disney film TV show.
I guess it's a series that failed Star Wars Skeleton Crew,
that's what it's called, and not shockingly, there's not a lot.
When I heard that the headline Disney series for children,
Star Wars Skeleton Crew features lesbian parents, I thought what

(33:22):
they meant was the last Disney movie they did about
lesbian witches was so unpopular that the new movie has
a skeleton crew, like, not a lot of people working there.
But actually that's the name of the show and it's
a show for kids with lesbian moms. In the meantime,
By the way, this is immediately not working. Disney Plus
advertisers are fleeing, the subscriptions are underwhelming. People do not

(33:44):
want Disney to make Star Wars shows about lesbians for
little kids. It's just generally a very unpopular idea, Tim,
and you called it on this radio show when they
did the last series Acolyte with what was her name,
Amanla Stenberg. You pointed out that that was probably to
be unpopular. It was really unpopular, and now they're doubling
down on it.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Weirdly.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah, they just can't help themselves. And honestly, it might
be the fact that these shows take a couple of
years to produce and to get on screen and everything,
so the whole like pushing the agenda thing is still
ingrained into the products that they're making. The only way

(34:26):
they're gonna get past this is if they stop doing that.
But I honestly do not think Disney is capable of that.
They really push to have diversity.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
Particularly in the lgbt Q I A plus m AP space,
and they want to act like the maps aren't part
of that, but they are, and like like they say,
Disney is for the kids.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, that's supposed to be the case. All right, let's
talk about actor Michael Rappaport. For those that don't know
Michael Rappaport, he's into Spike Lee movies. He's in a
lot of good movies. But he's always been allowed out
spoken liberal and so a lot of Trump supporters on
social media don't like him. But it seems like he
got red pilled during the Joe Biden years, particularly when
all this anti Semitism stuff at college campuses started happening.

(35:11):
And now he's taken another vaguely right wing opinion. He
is letting loose on those that are celebrating Luigi Mangione,
the suspect and the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
He said that Mangione is a sick f for his
alleged crime. He's calling his supporters hypocrites for standing against
toxic masculinity one day and then celebrating an alleged murderer

(35:33):
the next. Now, I don't know about Michael Rappaport being
red pilled, but it's certainly not happening over on the
Daily Show. The Daily Show actually applauded this guy the audience.
This was This has got to be awkward because you
have all these healthcare companies and pharmaceutical companies advertising on
Comedy Central and other Viacom owned TV and cable networks.

(35:53):
But John Stewart's Daily Show audience erupted in booze on
Tuesday night when the suspect in the United Healthcare case
was mentioned that he got arrested. They bowed and then
apparently they cheered the guy, which was a little odd.
Liberals Do they do tim? Do liberals not know that
these healthcare laws that put all these healthcare in health

(36:14):
insurance company CEOs in power and gave them all the
money that they wanted in the world. It was all
based on a law called Obamacare, which they supported. Do
they not know that?

Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, I mean they don't even know they supported it,
to be honest with you. The vote Blue crowd just
goes from.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Day to day.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
They download the newest update and then they just regurgitate
whatever the hive mind tells them to spit out right,
and in this case, the hive mind is killing them
in some cases murder is all right. I'm not a
big proponent of like the big insurance companies and stuff
like that, Like I don't like where our healthcare industry

(36:55):
is right now. But killing a CEO is not the answer.
I mean, can we agree to that and if you do,
in fact shoot somebody in the back and you're on
video now, granted is presumption of innocedence until proven guilty,
et cetera. But I mean, if they're able to prove
that this is the guy, then yeah, you shouldn't be

(37:18):
cheering for this guy. So it's really mind boggling that
these folks are so confused on this issue.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I don't know how to explain it to them. You
guys love Obamacare policy. I mean, not you, Tim, but
liberals love Obamacare. It's a policy that supposedly will allow
a person to get transgender health, gender affirming care, hormone treatments,
get a sex change covered by their health insurance. But
supposedly that same law does it require the healthcare companies

(37:46):
to cover life saving medical treatments. And they like it
enough to want to pass it, but hate it enough
to want to murder people. I don't get it anyway,
Before we run out of time, Elton John is calling
the legalization of marijuana in America. In Canada one of
the worst things to ever happen. He has come out
and said, don't smoke marijuana. It's awful. Elton John a

(38:07):
lot more conservative than some people think. Your thoughts, sir,
I'm kind of.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
Mad about it because for my entire career I never
told Elton John what to put in his mouth or
Bobby you know, so I don't think he should be
allowed to tell potheads like myself the same thing. Listen,
I'm in California. It's legal out here, so I couldn't
be happier about that. Back Texas, you need to get

(38:32):
with the program. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
I don't have a problem with marijuana on this one.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna have to agree with
Tim Mathis on that one. Hey, we got to run kids.
I love you all. Follow Tim Mathis on Twitter at
