Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is deluxe.
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile of a suit
of happing and us on your radio toil just as
cheeseburgers a liberty rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A Florida man a man in Florida claims his wife
was detained by ice during an immigration raid and he
wants to personally thank Donald Trump. Hi, everybody, thanks for
turning on your radio today. Quite a few guests will
be with us this afternoon. Michael Quinnsullivan from Texas scorecard
dot com has information about the Chinese Communist Party, casinos
(00:40):
and the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's gonna absolutely blow your mind.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Plus we might be getting some property tax relief this
year in the state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
To stick around for that, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Comedian Tim Mathis is stopping by from Hollywood Brandon Darby
with the border report.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So much going on.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
A lot's gonna happen over the next hours. To stick around,
and there's a lot to celebrate today, some reports townhall
dot com. I was just looking at the US Army
posted its recruiting numbers in more than a decade. In
December with America's youth excited to serve under President Donald J.
Trump's America First leadership, this is great news. We were
(01:15):
told over and over again that during the Biden years
nobody wanted to join the military. There weren't enough people
in case we were attacked. In December, three hundred and
forty six soldiers enlisted every day, the most productive December
in fifteen years. Recruiters have one of the toughest jobs
inspiring the next generation to serve, So congratulations to them.
(01:36):
That's very exciting, very cool. Pete Hagseth put out a
statement describing how quickly things are changing.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
America's youth want to serve under Donald Trump. The woke
stuff was just deadly for military recruitment. Everyone in the
service had horror stories. The idea that you would physically
repel the Southern and or scott Irish white guys who
have historically been the back of the American military. That
was just nuts.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They didn't want white people to serve in the military.
That people raw, raw raw patriotic people from the South
part of them, and we don't want Southerners.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Young men have.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Always been drawn to serve in our military. When we
tell the military. It's about strength and dominance. They rush
to join. When we lecture them about equity, they don't
want to join this idea, this peace through strength initiative
we have right now. It's incredible. These men are voting
with their lives. That speaks volume. It's very cool now.
(02:33):
Interestingly enough, as much as you expect the military to
lean to the right and be a bit conservative, you
probably didn't expect this, or maybe you did. Over the
past few days, there's been a lot of attention focused
on what happened with USAID.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
USAID. USAID is an old old it's from the mid
twentieth century.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's part of our federal government that we use to
hand out free crap to people in third world countries.
And the audits of USAID were embarrassing, just horrible, the
stuff we were wasting crap on, spending millions of dollars
to promote DEI in Serbia.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Do you know much about Serbia. There's not a lot
of diversity in Serbia.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Weirdly enough, there's very few black doctors in Serbia because
there's no black people. And they were spending money on
what a transgender comic book and an LGBTQ themed opera,
paying for abortions and third world countries?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Why do we have to pay for that?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Interestingly enough, in addition to auditing what we spend our
money on at USAID, we can also audit what people
at USAID were spending their money on, more specifically, their
political donations. Employees from the US Agency for International Development
USAID have donated almost entirely to Democrats, the vast majority
(03:57):
of them ninety seven percent of these people are hardcore
promoters and donors to the Democrat Party. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars in donations, and more than half of those
donations went to Kamala Harris. Of all the donations, only
about nine hundred bucks, just a fraction of a percent
(04:20):
went towards Donald Trump or Republican political candidates. Incredible political
donations of USAID employees went to super packs, candidates, all
kinds of things, and we could track that stuff with
a website called Open Secrets and data from the Federal
Elections Commission. The numbers show rampant political bias in the agency.
(04:47):
So on Monday, Trump stated that USAID and it's fifty
billion dollar annual budget, which are all ran and operated
by radical.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Left lunatics that's going to be cut off.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Instead of having communists decide what happens to that money,
we're gonna have Marco Rubio do it. A vast improvement.
I gotta think, very awesome news. And on that topic,
as Matt Vesper recently pointed out, the second Trump presidency
Trump two point zero. What we're in right now barely
into its third week, and it's moving at a pace
(05:22):
that Joe Biden could have only dreamed of, and he
would have to because he was asleep all the time.
All the executives' actions Trump issued have been directly targeted
towards reversing the damage done by Joe. We're reestablishing our
dominance abroad, and that is evidenced by Canada and Mexico
(05:43):
caving to Trump's tariff threats, Hamas finally agreeing to a
hostage deal. At home, They're working to trim the FATA government,
get the prices under control. A long term goal reinvigorating
the American dream, which Biden killed for millions of people.
Biden was incompetent and sluggish. His political ineptitude did years
(06:06):
of damage. But fortunately we're fixing it now the man
got toppled by Pelosi, who isn't even in the congressional
leadership anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
My question is, where's all the protesters? Why aren't Democrats mad?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
There's an independent reporter named Michael Schellenberger who noted that
while there have been a smattering of anti Trump tantrums
here and there, it's nowhere near the level of intensity
as twenty seventeen. Even the media's meltowns aren't at Fukushima
levels anymore. They're more like three mile islands in intensity.
Democrats have completely eviscerated themselves, so this independent journalist Schellenberger
(06:44):
points out the party suffered two haymakers politically and morally,
which has left them dead inside. It's one of the
most brutal pieces about the woes facing Democrats published on
a website, Public News.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Let me read a little of it to you. This
is interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So why aren't Democrats up in arms? Why aren't there
mass protests against imminent fascism, climate apocalypse, and transgenocide. One
reason there are no mass protests by Democrats against those
things is likely because they see no value in having them.
They wouldn't have much impact anytime soon. Trump is able
to do those things because voters elected him, and they
(07:23):
have known this since early November. But that didn't stop
millions of Democrats and people around the world taking to
the streets in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Such protests didn't occur in November. Indeed, the left's.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Energy and enthusiasm for both Kamala and Joe was already
low and declining last year. Another factor may have been
the Democrats' own disgust with the poor performance of Harris
and Biden, the margin of their defeat, the resulting lack
of enthusiasm. It's impossible to ignore the fact that Trump
played a large role in facilitating the ceasefire between Israel
(07:57):
and Hamas Biden angered many Democrats in recent weeks after
pardoning his son Hunter. Even so, Democrats and progressives really
believed that Trump was the second coming of Hitler, at
least they said they did. If they did that, that's
what they told us. They told us climate change was
the apocalypse. They said recognizing just two genders constituted a
(08:20):
genocide for trans people. The fact that they didn't show
up to protest demonstrates they really didn't believe those things
were true or good. They just said they did Paul's
show that either a majority of Democrats or a significant
percentage of them agree with Trump on energy, migration, trans issues.
Democrats have a lot of work to do in terms
(08:42):
of creating a new agenda that is appealing to voters.
They got on the wrong side is some big issues.
They will need to concede that they were wrong at
a minimum on the border, transgenderism, energy, They may need
to go further, whatever they do. The Democrat's effort to
climb back from the moral abyss in which they found
(09:04):
themselves starts with taking a hard look in the mirror
and committing to stop lying to themselves and others.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Sounds like that's one thing they'll never be able to do.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
They see, whenever you lose sight of the enemy, look
behind you. Yeah, that's a bad paranoia right there. Probably
brought on by a bong ripper too. Kenny Webster's pursuit
of happiness It will.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Include interviews with friends and loyalists and allies, and probably
Kamala Harris too, if I had to bet.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Hi, everybody, welcome back from break. I'm Kenny Webster. Thank
you so much for turning on your radio today. I
know it's hard to believe, but there are news stories
that do not involve the Super Bowl or Kanye West's
naked wife.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Shocking. I know.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
In fact, here in Texas we have we have a
real conundrum because you see how great the Republican Party
has become in Washington, DC, and yet that's how good
they aren't in what is supposed to be the biggest,
reddest state in the country. Look, I'm a pretty big
critic a governor, habit, but I will cheer the guy
on when he's doing something I want. Right now, he's
pushing for ten billion dollars in property tax relief. How
(10:05):
many people listening to my voice right now think they
don't pay enough in property tax? I'm sure nobody's raising
their hand. Well, tax relief proposals are being discussed right now,
and Governor Abbot's a big proponent of it. Here to
tell us a little bit about this. Off the air,
we were just asking ourselves if this is too boring
of a topic for talk radio. But Michael Quinn Sullivan
(10:27):
and I know we have the smartest radio listeners on
KP HEREC nine to fifty. And if you are going
to get some property tax relief, I got to think
people want to know about it. Michael quinn Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Look, and what is so significant in this is that generally,
and this is going to sound like a negative criticism,
but it's not generally. Greg Abbot Governor Greg Abbott has
said historically, I want you guys to do good things.
He kind of lays out a kind of a a
(10:58):
an id of where to go without too many specifics.
I've had some bad aspects and some good aspects. This
time around, though in his priorities, he's giving some real specifics,
you know, whether it's bail reform or number of things.
But this property tax thing is most fascinating because the
Texas Senate and the Texas House last week both came
(11:21):
out saying, well, we're we're looking at about six billion
dollars in property tax relief, and you know, everyone kind
of went, you know, kind of.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Golf clapped that.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Okay, twenty four billion dollar budget surplus. He got twenty
four billion dollars they over collected from you and me,
and they're talking about giving six billion back, mainly so
they can get their grubby paws on the rest of
it and spend it on stupid stuff.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Well, Governor Abbott on Sunday stepped out and said, hey,
I want to do ten billion. So he's he's he's
vesting both the House and the Senate, and then he's
going further to explain how he wants that ten billion
dollars delivered in property tax reliefe uh so, so this
is this is you know, we we've been watching he
(12:06):
has been fascinating to watch Greg Abbott kind of shift
as governor over the past few years. You know, he's
still a fairly play it safe politician. Again not a criticism,
but yet you know he tends to kind of you know,
kind of you know, come put play down the line. Right,
He's a he's a former judge to kind of expect
that out of judges. But yet, you know, watching him
(12:28):
these past couple of years, whether it's taking a going
from Operation Loan Star on the border being kind of
a glorified you know, press conference prop too, and then
moving it into a viable, legitimate and now you know, uh,
world class border security operation has been premitt and you've
(12:50):
just gone one issue after issue. We've watched Greg Abbott
do that and I think now that you're here, now
we're seeing property taxes. He doesn't seem like he's going
to be interested in the Texas legislature sports.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Changing Texans on tax reliefe very interesting. I'm glad to
explain it like that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is it kind of strange to think that here in
twenty twenty five, Governor Abbott might actually be more conservative
than the Texas House as a whole.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Look, I think that your average Democrat precinct share in
less Texas might be more conservative than the Texas House
as a whole. That's probably a different, different issue. But yeah,
but look, you know, Greg Abbott is has so formed
it very clear he's not playing games the session by
(13:36):
doing his state of the state so early, laying out
some fairly subsilic I'm not wildly in love with all
the things he laid out as his kind of Prairie warities,
but I don't have to be. I probably don't like
all the things you would name your priorities. But yet
you know the fact that he is being very clear,
very and the manually is very bold. You always have
(13:56):
to like the direction of the boldness to recognize that
it's bold. Is is a pretty interesting change for someone
who I think you know, Greg ed that used to
be synonymous with with kind of milk toast good guy conservative.
Now you're kind of seeing him move into a bold,
good guy conservative, and that's a that's that's not that's
(14:18):
not what we're Kennedy. That's not what we're used to.
This is the this is the dog catching the car,
This is the this is the you know, the mailman
biting the dog gets you know, if.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You're not used to that.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And it's kind of fun to see a governor know less.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
All right, let's talk a little bit about gambling and
casinos in Texas for just a minute. Kind of like
marijuana legalization or medical marijuana legalization.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's not so much the polishy I have an issue with.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
It's the group of people advocating for it, and who
will benefit from it, and how it empowers them, and
and what else they're trying to advocate for. I'll give
you an example right now, one group of people that
are trying to raise money for casinos.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
This is interesting, the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks majority of
owner is a Chinese casino operator. This can't be true, Michael, Yeah,
look it absolutely is.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So you gotta remember a few years ago, the Dallas
Mavericks were sold to the Sands, the kind of the
lead investors of Vegas Sands. Sands Casinos took over ownership
of the Dallas Mavericks. Now let's step back a little further.
When you when you hear Sands Casinos, you're probably thinking
(15:28):
of the Sands Casino in Las Vegas, right, And here's
this company called Sands Casinos. Well, they no longer have
anything to do with any casinos in the United States.
They sold off their interests. They kept their corporate name,
Sands Casinos sometimes called Vegas Sands.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
They kept that name.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
But all of their operations are in China. All the
casinos they operate are in China. They have a deal
with the CCP, So they're making all this money in
China through through the CCP and opera casinos there in
Cow in China. They now started making noise. They spent
big in Texas in twenty twenty four so they could
(16:07):
try to convince the legislature in twenty twenty five to
give them kind of the same kind of deal they
have in China, which is to say, a government monopoly
on casinos. They want a government monopoly on casinos in Texas.
They want it in Dallas. So here is sans Vegas
Sands casinos that doesn't offering any you know, any casinos
(16:28):
in Vegas or the United States coming in Texas. Now,
the one big expenditure they did in Nevada in twenty
twenty four, they gave fifteen million dollars to the University
of Nevada to create the China Appreciation Center. To note
so that everyone in Nevada knows, well, great, No, that
(16:49):
Timpy a real thing. No, literally appreciation center, come on,
Appreciation Center. I mean, look, I mean that's absolutely true.
So this is who these folks are. They've they've been
owning a big share of the Mavericks, and now you
solve the weekend. This bizarre trade they did seen as
(17:09):
weakening the Dallas Mavericks. And it feels like a number
of folks have have posited that this is an effort
by Sands to weaken the Dallas Mavericks the point where
they say, look, and we're not financially viable. Things are
just so bad. Now, if you don't give us a casino,
if you don't let us build a casino here in Dallas,
(17:30):
we're just going to take the Mavericks and move them
to Vegas. And in some ways that's a win win
for UH, for for the UH, UH for for the NBA.
They want a team in Vegas for all the betting
and everything else. They like that. Now now there's also though,
a there's a there's a weird idea of well, maybe
they's moved to China. Remember UH, the Major League Sports
(17:53):
has been bending over backwards to kiss up UH to
the Red Chinese for a while. Now, that's very unlikely,
probably going to move the Mavericks to try, I know,
but at a minimum, you've got, you know, a a
vassal of China trying to dictate an expansion of crony
monopoly gambling in Texas. It's it is a wild deal
in this Dallas Mavericks move this weekend, by trading off
(18:16):
some generational talent for a has been washed out from
UH from I guess the Los Angeles, Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, that was a big shock. Every everyone, I don't
even follow basketball, everybody knows about that. That's a crazy trade.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Yeah, it's a crazy trade, but it does make sense
when you understand what this company is really wanting. They
want a government monopoly to operate a casino in Dallas,
and they would kind of use the Mavericks as their
loss leader, uh for for for having this uh you know,
this this ability to for the new CCP and Sands
(18:53):
and nowhere else to to be to be controlling uh Texas,
Texas socially. So it's a it's a very interesting situation,
and lawmakers don't have to pay attention to this. Lawmakers
are going to have to have to Cancerlo said. There,
you know a lot of the people that Sands gave
money to in twenty twenty four lost. In fact, they
had they were the losingest political investors of twenty twenty four.
(19:18):
They lost massively.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You know, they lost.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
They gave millions of dollars to Day Feeling and he's
no longer the speaker, so they bet poorly. In an
earnings call back in January, the Sands CEO who was
asked about moves in Texas and you kind of pretend
to like he did not know that Texas existed. So,
you know, all of this is just a pretty wild
set of circumstances.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I never looked at the NBA trade as anything political
until you pointed that out. That is fascinating. I also
think It's interesting how you described it as win win.
I would say it's win win win because I feel
like if Mark Cuban leaves Texas, that's good for Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Michael.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I mean, he's still the minority, former principal, honor in
current already owner over there.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah, keep singing that song. I think Kamala Harris would
love to have her boy Mark Cuban as her next
door neighbor and wherever is she's living at And.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
That interesting too. How much do you know about him?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Did you know he started his career as a young
man as a scab for the newspaper industry. He ran
and distributed newspapers during a strike. Way before he was
a billionaire, before he made money off the Internet or
any of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
He started his career off as a scab. I don't
know how many people know that about him.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah, I mean he looked for as frustrating of a
fellow as he is in terms of his politics and
other things. He is quite fascinating. You know, he's a
very fascinating guy. But I just wish he wasn't just
such a crazy lunatic lefty.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And friends with the communists. But that doesn't shock men.
Who's surprised about that, Michael, nobody.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Look at as long as the CCPs checks cash, I
think he's probably okay with him.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Michael, I gotta tell you, both of the stories you
describe today on the air and your analysis of them fascinating.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
But what's equally is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
To me is that you can't get these stories anywhere
else texas scorecard dot com on the internet and KPRC
Radio here in Houston.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Nobody else is covering this stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
If I was an avid news consumer and I was
not subscribed to the texascorecard dot com email list, I
would go there right now.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Is that a hard thing to do.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
It is a very easy thing to do, and I
really appreciate you saying that. Love for folks. Check out
texascorecard dot com. I get our email list. It's free.
We refuse were nonprofit, We refuse to sell your information.
Ain't nobody going to find out you subscribed to us
unless you tell them? So we'd love to have folks
check out texascorecard dot com, get on our email list, and.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
While you're at it, follow my buddy Michael on social media.
Quick break. We'll be back this President obamba. You're listening
Pursued Happiness.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Radio, Uh, Pursued Happiness like Will Smith and the movie
two thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
It was good.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
A study finds that air traffic control towers workers right now.
The study is called air Traffic Control Towers. The New
Home Depot.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Sounds like some Texas justice to me, Lockett and.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Now Live from the Border.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
It's Bright Bart's Brandon Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only
on KPRC radio.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
He is the Derby who would be Brandon.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Ill real last decade, I can't think of anybody who's
done more extensive coverage of what's happening at our border
than Brandon and his team bright Bart Texas. The Cartel
chronicles pretty groundbreaking stuff. I mean, now, a lot of
journalists go down to the border, but back when Brandon
started doing it, nobody was. So A lot's changed since then,
and yet in some ways some things have not changed.
(22:44):
The Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, there's a part
of me that wonders, did he get a cleaning lady pregnant?
He's virtue signaling at a town hall talking about how
he's harboring an illegal immigrant in his house. Now, most people,
if you were sympathetic to illegal immigrants, you don't want
them to get deported. Wouldn't telling people at a live,
broadcasted event where the illegal immigrants are being hidden.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Doesn't that seem like exactly what you wouldn't do?
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Talking about I don't want to get into too much detail,
but there's someone in our broader universe whose immigration status
is not yet at the point that they are trying
to get it to and we said, you know what,
let's have her live in our house above our garage.
What in good luck to the Feds coming in to
(23:31):
try to get her good luck?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
You just told him where there's an illegal immigrant. So yeah,
Tom Homan reacted to this news on Fox News earlier
this week. And I've got a little bit of that
right here.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Hen I've gotten hold of it.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
We'll let it go.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
We'll look into it. And if he's normally normally harbor
and concealing an illigue alien, that's a violation on tideway
nice stays called thirteen twenty four. I will seek prosecution
or the secretary will seek prosecution.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Wow, this is remarkable, Brandon Darby, You've got the borders
are saying he's going to investigate the governor of New
Jersey for harboring illegal immigrants.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
Your reaction, Yeah, if you go out and say that,
then you're probably going to get in trouble with this administration.
They don't care and they're there who you are. You know,
the last administration didn't care who Trump was or who
a lot of people were, and they went after them,
even going after them on things that are common business
(24:27):
practice from what I understand, like you know, telling the
tax people you think your property is worth less than
you might tell somebody who you're selling it to, right,
I think that's pretty common, and they went after him.
So I think this is Trump unchained Trump two point
oh was Trump unchained? And so absolutely, if he's saying that,
(24:48):
he's actually in order to if the governor's saying that
he's in order to virtue signal, he's he's actually putting
someone at risk of getting deforted, you know, bringing attention
to it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
It's such a bizarre thing for a governor. Is it
possible he doesn't like this woman and he's trying to
get her into trouble?
Speaker 10 (25:08):
No, I think that, you know, I think that that's
one of those kind of situations where he he you know,
he started off by trying to say without getting into
too much detail, and then he's like, I know, here's
exactly where she lives, right above my garage. You know,
So he obviously meant, you know, he got carried away
and didn't mean to reveal that much. I think that's
what happened.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Back in the day when he was running for office.
Several years back, there was a political debate. The moderator
asked the people on the panel, all the gubernatorial candidates,
if they would try to help illegal immigrants from getting deported,
and he was one of the guys who said that
he would do it. Now, his office, as townhall dot
com reports, is furiously trying to backpedal. They rep told
(25:50):
the Post that the loose lipped Jersey leader had been
misinterpreted and that no such situation occurred. He doesn't really
have an illegal immigrant living above his garage. How do
you misinterpret that, Brandon? We all just listened to the SoundBite.
It's clear as day what he was saying, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
So I think I think what they mean is he
shouldn't have said that. They're currently is not an illegal
alien living above his Dridge because they had to uproot
her life and move her to another place because of
his big mouth. And I yeah, but there's no misinterpretation.
That's exactly what he said.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (26:25):
And and so if if that's true, then what will happen.
I'll tell you what they'll do, because they want to
prove a point. What they're going to do is probably
use you know, it's called ad tech, and they're probably
going to identify the phone that the woman, the illegal
alleged illegal immigrant US and they're going to find where
(26:46):
the phone is and they're going to find her and
the port and make a big deal out of it.
None of it would have happened without his mouth, because
generally they're going after criminals, right, And you said, argue,
everyone who's here illegally is a criminal. But I mean
they're going after people who who have committed other crimes, right,
fugitive fellars, people who are wanted for murder and other countries,
people who are wanted for murder here, people who that's
(27:08):
who they're really going after. And so you know, if
in the process of that they come across other people,
they deport them too. But generally the people who are
hanging around are out around a murderer are either going
to be pretty rotten people we don't want here too,
some bad ombrees to use Trump speak, or they're going
(27:28):
to be you know, some religious person who's like trying
to help that person. Right, But but generally, like, I
don't think that anyone in my circles is wanted for murder,
you know what I mean, anybody who I'm hanging out
with or having over for a party. So so if
you know, there's zero percent chance of me getting caught
up in that, right and that kind of deal. So so,
(27:49):
but what he just did is put a target on
that person's back, and obviously the people are leadership are
like find that person, you know, get her all right?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Question for you had we had Wesley Hunt here at
Congressman Wesley Hunt earlier this week, and he had pointed
out how he's generally supportive of Pete hag Seth using
the Pentagon to protect our border. He's aware of posse
commentatives for those that aren't familiar with the term, that
you can't use the military as police. But in a sense,
if they're protecting us from foreign invaders, then they're not police,
(28:20):
they're military, right.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Correct, Yeah, so I'm in favor of it. You know,
our caution people. You know, historically there's been quite a
few instances just on Fort Bliss and other other you know,
large encampments of military personnel along the border. Every year
we see several prosecutions for them working with the cartel
or some you know private working with the cartel and
(28:43):
helping smuggle. And so these kind of things will happen,
but overall our border will be a lot more secure
because of it.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I love it, all right.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You've been a pretty big critic of Trump one point
zero and how he handled the border. You pointed out
that it wasn't what you would have done, it wasn't
always effective, and so your credit. Illegal immigration may have
dwindled a bit during Trump's first four years in office,
but it certainly didn't end, and it much got much
worse after that.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
What do you think about how he's doing now?
Speaker 10 (29:12):
Well, first off, I'm I'm a pretty big fan not
for him, And what I was critical of is that
their promise to go to war on Mexican cartels on
the first administration, and what they did was instead they
went to war on MS thirteen and which is a
gang right, But is not. They're not cartels, and they're different, right,
(29:35):
They're a street gang where a cartel is something different,
and we could get into that nuance. But so what
I was critical of at the time was that they
really were playing softball with cartels, and just as Obama
had done right, just as Biden continued to do so
this time around, though they're not this time around with
(29:57):
Trump unchained. I mean, you have home in, you have
you know, Sebastian Gorka with you from the terrorism angle,
you have you know Derek Maltz with the d I mean,
these guys are these are no jokes. These guys are
people who get stuffed on and they they they're messaging
is right on. Their messaging is largely similar to what
(30:19):
I've been saying for years. And that's probably because the
people most of the people making the messaging are people
who follow me on Twitter, are people whom I know
and have talked with me quite a bit over the years.
So I'm very very impressed with the lineup they have
to deal with this issue, and I'm impressed with the
fact that they're they're pressing it. You know, I'm very impressed,
(30:41):
and you know this as someone who has tried to
expose and fight cartels for so many years with a
team of really good people, some of whom have died
in Mexico right on efforts to report on this. And
I'm just I'm just telling you, I'm pleased. I think
(31:02):
that I think this is the way, you know, to
quote the Mandalorian.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
One more quick question for you before we get out
of here.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
What is this news I'm hearing you guys have launched
the Breitbart News Foundation.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
What is that? Well, so our news foundation Uh, you know,
the economics of news and of media is uh these days,
there's really not a lot of room for you know,
you can't economically do very in depth these really complex investigations.
(31:34):
There's just no there's no money in that, right, there's
no ability to do that.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (31:41):
So with the news Foundation, not dependent on advertising dollars,
not depending on clicks, we can really dig in depth.
We can dig in depth into the you know, the
circles of corruption, the deep entrenched corruption and cronyism in Mexico.
And we're also launching a China project. And you know,
we have a number of sources we've built up in China,
(32:04):
and from those sources, we get a lot of information,
a lot of data, a lot of reports, a lot
of a lot of you know, hard copies of of
of in celt When we think the public needs to know,
you know, we think the public needs to you know,
somebody has to go after China and expose of it.
That's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
My brother Brandon Darby the website Breitbart. Check out their
work Cartel Chronicles.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Follow him on x.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Kenny has always thought the best things in life are free,
free plus tags of course Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Travis Kelcey said he'd like to play in another three
Seasons with the Chiefs, of course, just like everything else.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I gotta think that's Taylor Swift's call.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You know, is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt
or what?
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Or what?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
He is a stand up comedian from Texas. He writes
comedy in Hollywood. He's currently working in New Mexico and
I'm going to be in New Mexico this weekend.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Tim Mathis is a very funny comedian who has thoughts
about a new project called True to Texas. Matthew mcconiughey
and Woody Harrelson have reunited for a True Detective moment
in a new ad directed by the series creator Nick Pozzolano.
In the video for True to Texas, McConaughey and Woody
Harrelson are playing the characters from that show, True Detective
(33:37):
Detectives Rust Cole and Marty Hart, and they're calling for
Texas legislature to create new incentives for film and TV
production in the state. The ad includes appearances from Dennis Quaid,
Billy Bob Thornton, Rene Zowegger, among other people. Here's where
this gets tricky, right, because a lot of people would
love the idea of Hollywood film producers coming to text
(34:01):
to produce stuff here. But of course, as a lot
of people have pointed out, those subsidies have to come
from somewhere, and something that is being pointed out by
grassroots activists right now is that we can't subsidize Hollywood
and have property tax relief at the same time. I
don't know what the answer is, but who's stand up
comedian Tim mathis with his take? Tim, what do you
think about this?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
I love it?
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Unsurprisingly as a native Texan and somebody who's also in
the film industry, but obviously not in the film industry
the way these guys and gals are. I love the
push to bring the fleeing industry from California to Texas.
This would be a great Texas move in my opinion.
(34:45):
The film industry is decentralizing as we speak. A lot
of production as moving out of California because of their
high costs. Mainly that's all covered in the ad as well.
Nick Palozza put to the Loatto being involved is very
telling because the last season of True Detective, he was
famously almost completely cut out of the entire production and
(35:09):
it was terrible. So that had a lot to do
with the climate in Hollywood. They wanted to push, you know,
female centered and lgbt qia and stuff like that, and
you know the fact that people are moving away from
that type of virtue signaling woke BS is very good
(35:34):
for places like Texas, who I assume you would have
to wouldn't have as many of those hang ups.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Okay, so I guess one of the questions are a
lot of listeners are probably asking themselves right now, if
Hollywood moves production to the state of Texas, do Hollywood
voters come with them?
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Well, yes and no. You got to remember and if
you followed the last election, which I know you did,
the California went further red. Obviously it didn't flip or
else we would have been able to handle those fires.
But yes, Californians would be moving to Texas, not as
(36:15):
many as you think, because a lot of the jobs
could be done by people in Texas to begin with.
And secondly, a lot of people that move out of
California are already people who don't agree with the way
California is going, myself being a case in point. I mean,
I've moved to New Mexico in part because of how
bad California is run. We paid too much money to
(36:39):
not have operating fire hydrants for example.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Wow, Okay, I get your point.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Yeah, California has a lot of the logical and reasonable
people are the ones that are going to be pushing
to move out of California. I mean, just look at
this ad. Dennis Quaid is famously a Trump supporter. Matthew
McConaughey's a long time moderate and kind of goes both ways.
Woody Harrelson actually came out and hammered the whole COVID
(37:07):
narrative and Big Tarma on SNL. It was a very
famous moment. So these are the type of Californians that
are going to be moving back to places like Texas
to try to make their films.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Okay, let's talk a little bit about Hollywood values for
just a minute. And what was just said by Cynthia Nixon.
This is the woman who is the star. It's one
of the women that stars on the TV show Sex
and the City. I've never been a fan of the show,
but everybody knows what it is.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
We all know who they are.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Listen to what she's saying right now about all the
trans kids in her life. When she spoke at a
political rally against Trump the other night, had his.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
Tough surgery ass and Yu a number of years ago.
Looks fantastic. His surgeon was the best he could have
an act. And the idea that the city is filled
with young people.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
All right, she's talking about how her daughter got triple
missectomy or double miss ectomy or whatever it was. Double
miss I probably doesn't have three boobs. This isn't like
the chick from Total Recall or whatever. But that wasn't
even the SoundBite I was trying to play. This is
the SoundBite I was looking for.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Most importantly, I.
Speaker 7 (38:23):
Am here today as the mother of a proud transman. Drop,
I am here today as the aunt of a proud transman.
My best friend's kid is trans, and my kid's best
(38:46):
friend is trans.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Let's possit right there. Her daughter's trans, her sister's daughter's trans.
Her best friend has a trans kid. Her kid's best
friend is also trans. But that's a lot of trans
can aren't we talking about point oh seven percent of society?
Remember when we learned that all three of Megan Fox's
sons are trans, All three of your kids are trans.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
What are the odds? Tim mathis, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
What are the odds of that? Did I miss an
Oprah Winfrey episode where you get a trans kid, you
get a transcit, everybody gets a TRANSCID.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
I didn't realize that that was one of the themes. Yeah,
it's wild, especially because the simple fact is there's no
such things as the trans kid. In order for somebody
to trans, you have to consent to things that minors
cannot consent to. I've been of the opinion for a
(39:41):
long time that the transing the kids is just a
trojan horse to allow the minor attracted persons to get
at what they really want to get at, and that
is allowing kids to consent with adults for you know,
stuff like that. So I question anybody pushing the trends
(40:03):
the kid's narrative. A lot of LGBTQIA people are worried
about the whole trans the kid's movement because a lot
of the kids that are being transitioned that early in
life are actually just gay and lesbian people who end
up mutilating their bodies. So it's very odd when people
(40:25):
push this narrative. It's very alarming when people push this narrative,
because if a kid can consent to having their penis
or breasts removed at twelve or eleven or whatever, then
clearly they can consent to sexual activity with an adult.
That is one of the goals. I think that this movement,
(40:47):
at least some people in this movement have where they
want kids to be able to transition because they want
kids to be able to consent.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
All right.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
So, Netflix as a movie out called Amelia Perez. I
think you and I have talked about it on the air.
It's a movie about a transgender woman man whatever, starring
Carla Sofia Gascon And as you know, when Netflix, Warner Brothers, Disney,
whoever is getting ready for the Oscars, they have social
media posts. They have an ad campaign that they run
(41:21):
to try to promote their products, their content so they
can get the Oscar win. Images of Gaskon, who made
history as the first openly transgender acting nominee in the
Academy Awards History adorned posters, billboards, advertisements for the musical film,
which got thirteen Oscar nominations. That campaign Fromflex has abruptly
(41:41):
changed after social media posts were uncovered and widely shared
last week in which Gascon Sofia Goes Carla gos Sophia
Gascon called Islam an infection and deeply disgusting. You know,
say what you will about transgender ism or the alphabet
people here, but I gotta think is and the LGBT
(42:01):
community cannot coexist. Gascon denigrated or mocked wide ranging subjects,
including diversity efforts China, George Floyd, a black man who's
twenty twenty killing. I mean, we all know what happened
to George Floyd. I'm reading this from the Breitbart Report.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Now Netflix is trying to distance themselves from their OSCAR
nominated trans actress, Tim. What do you make of it?
Speaker 6 (42:24):
So Netflix is now transphobic? Yes, yes, they're they're literally
running scared from a trans woman.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
They picked Islam over trans apparently.
Speaker 6 (42:35):
Well yeah, I mean that's that's the way it seems
to be going in that direction. But it's it, This
is it. I mean, you live by the sword, you
die by the sword. You you your career got a
huge boost because you transitioned and you played the game.
The game is virtue signaling, box checking. And you know,
(42:58):
I get the part because des I'm such and such,
you don't even get considered because you're such and such.
That's the game she played and appears that she crapped
out because she forgot to erase her Twitter history. You can't,
in one part, be part of the part of the
club while you break the rules of the club. And
(43:21):
the number one rule of the club is you can't
say anything disparaging about anybody considered to be a protected
group and Islam, George Floyd, these are protected groups. So
thanks for playing MS Gascon, But it looks like you
crapped out, my.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Brother, Tim, You've got projects going on. What's up with you?
Speaker 6 (43:44):
I will be in El Paso at the Comic Strip
from March six to nine, and the club I'm working
at now in Albuquerque, Hyenas Albuquerque, is going to be
opening next week with Carlos Mencia.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
My brother Tim Mathis. Keep up the great work.
Speaker 8 (43:59):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
To the rest of you, have an awesome afternoon. We'll
be back bright and early tomorrow morning for more of
what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 4 (44:10):
You are listening to.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
The Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
Tell the government to kiss You're ask when you listen
to this show.
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is deluxe.
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile of a suit
of happing and us on your radio toil just as
cheeseburgers a liberty rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A Florida man a man in Florida claims his wife
was detained by ice during an immigration raid and he
wants to personally thank Donald Trump. Hi, everybody, thanks for
turning on your radio today. Quite a few guests will
be with us this afternoon. Michael Quinnsullivan from Texas scorecard
dot com has information about the Chinese Communist Party, casinos
(00:40):
and the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's gonna absolutely blow your mind.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Plus we might be getting some property tax relief this
year in the state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
To stick around for that, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Comedian Tim Mathis is stopping by from Hollywood Brandon Darby
with the border report.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So much going on.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
A lot's gonna happen over the next hours. To stick around,
and there's a lot to celebrate today, some reports townhall
dot com. I was just looking at the US Army
posted its recruiting numbers in more than a decade. In
December with America's youth excited to serve under President Donald J.
Trump's America First leadership, this is great news. We were
(01:15):
told over and over again that during the Biden years
nobody wanted to join the military. There weren't enough people
in case we were attacked. In December, three hundred and
forty six soldiers enlisted every day, the most productive December
in fifteen years. Recruiters have one of the toughest jobs
inspiring the next generation to serve, So congratulations to them.
(01:36):
That's very exciting, very cool. Pete Hagseth put out a
statement describing how quickly things are changing.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
America's youth want to serve under Donald Trump. The woke
stuff was just deadly for military recruitment. Everyone in the
service had horror stories. The idea that you would physically
repel the Southern and or scott Irish white guys who
have historically been the back of the American military. That
was just nuts.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They didn't want white people to serve in the military.
That people raw, raw raw patriotic people from the South
part of them, and we don't want Southerners.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Young men have.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Always been drawn to serve in our military. When we
tell the military. It's about strength and dominance. They rush
to join. When we lecture them about equity, they don't
want to join this idea, this peace through strength initiative
we have right now. It's incredible. These men are voting
with their lives. That speaks volume. It's very cool now.
(02:33):
Interestingly enough, as much as you expect the military to
lean to the right and be a bit conservative, you
probably didn't expect this, or maybe you did. Over the
past few days, there's been a lot of attention focused
on what happened with USAID.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
USAID. USAID is an old old it's from the mid
twentieth century.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's part of our federal government that we use to
hand out free crap to people in third world countries.
And the audits of USAID were embarrassing, just horrible, the
stuff we were wasting crap on, spending millions of dollars
to promote DEI in Serbia.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Do you know much about Serbia. There's not a lot
of diversity in Serbia.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Weirdly enough, there's very few black doctors in Serbia because
there's no black people. And they were spending money on
what a transgender comic book and an LGBTQ themed opera,
paying for abortions and third world countries?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Why do we have to pay for that?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Interestingly enough, in addition to auditing what we spend our
money on at USAID, we can also audit what people
at USAID were spending their money on, more specifically, their
political donations. Employees from the US Agency for International Development
USAID have donated almost entirely to Democrats, the vast majority
(03:57):
of them ninety seven percent of these people are hardcore
promoters and donors to the Democrat Party. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars in donations, and more than half of those
donations went to Kamala Harris. Of all the donations, only
about nine hundred bucks, just a fraction of a percent
(04:20):
went towards Donald Trump or Republican political candidates. Incredible political
donations of USAID employees went to super packs, candidates, all
kinds of things, and we could track that stuff with
a website called Open Secrets and data from the Federal
Elections Commission. The numbers show rampant political bias in the agency.
(04:47):
So on Monday, Trump stated that USAID and it's fifty
billion dollar annual budget, which are all ran and operated
by radical.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Left lunatics that's going to be cut off.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Instead of having communists decide what happens to that money,
we're gonna have Marco Rubio do it. A vast improvement.
I gotta think, very awesome news. And on that topic,
as Matt Vesper recently pointed out, the second Trump presidency
Trump two point zero. What we're in right now barely
into its third week, and it's moving at a pace
(05:22):
that Joe Biden could have only dreamed of, and he
would have to because he was asleep all the time.
All the executives' actions Trump issued have been directly targeted
towards reversing the damage done by Joe. We're reestablishing our
dominance abroad, and that is evidenced by Canada and Mexico
(05:43):
caving to Trump's tariff threats, Hamas finally agreeing to a
hostage deal. At home, They're working to trim the FATA government,
get the prices under control. A long term goal reinvigorating
the American dream, which Biden killed for millions of people.
Biden was incompetent and sluggish. His political ineptitude did years
(06:06):
of damage. But fortunately we're fixing it now the man
got toppled by Pelosi, who isn't even in the congressional
leadership anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
My question is, where's all the protesters? Why aren't Democrats mad?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
There's an independent reporter named Michael Schellenberger who noted that
while there have been a smattering of anti Trump tantrums
here and there, it's nowhere near the level of intensity
as twenty seventeen. Even the media's meltowns aren't at Fukushima
levels anymore. They're more like three mile islands in intensity.
Democrats have completely eviscerated themselves, so this independent journalist Schellenberger
(06:44):
points out the party suffered two haymakers politically and morally,
which has left them dead inside. It's one of the
most brutal pieces about the woes facing Democrats published on
a website, Public News.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Let me read a little of it to you. This
is interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So why aren't Democrats up in arms? Why aren't there
mass protests against imminent fascism, climate apocalypse, and transgenocide. One
reason there are no mass protests by Democrats against those
things is likely because they see no value in having them.
They wouldn't have much impact anytime soon. Trump is able
to do those things because voters elected him, and they
(07:23):
have known this since early November. But that didn't stop
millions of Democrats and people around the world taking to
the streets in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Such protests didn't occur in November. Indeed, the left's.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Energy and enthusiasm for both Kamala and Joe was already
low and declining last year. Another factor may have been
the Democrats' own disgust with the poor performance of Harris
and Biden, the margin of their defeat, the resulting lack
of enthusiasm. It's impossible to ignore the fact that Trump
played a large role in facilitating the ceasefire between Israel
(07:57):
and Hamas Biden angered many Democrats in recent weeks after
pardoning his son Hunter. Even so, Democrats and progressives really
believed that Trump was the second coming of Hitler, at
least they said they did. If they did that, that's
what they told us. They told us climate change was
the apocalypse. They said recognizing just two genders constituted a
(08:20):
genocide for trans people. The fact that they didn't show
up to protest demonstrates they really didn't believe those things
were true or good. They just said they did Paul's
show that either a majority of Democrats or a significant
percentage of them agree with Trump on energy, migration, trans issues.
Democrats have a lot of work to do in terms
(08:42):
of creating a new agenda that is appealing to voters.
They got on the wrong side is some big issues.
They will need to concede that they were wrong at
a minimum on the border, transgenderism, energy, They may need
to go further, whatever they do. The Democrat's effort to
climb back from the moral abyss in which they found
(09:04):
themselves starts with taking a hard look in the mirror
and committing to stop lying to themselves and others.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Sounds like that's one thing they'll never be able to do.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
They see, whenever you lose sight of the enemy, look
behind you. Yeah, that's a bad paranoia right there. Probably
brought on by a bong ripper too. Kenny Webster's pursuit
of happiness It will.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Include interviews with friends and loyalists and allies, and probably
Kamala Harris too, if I had to bet.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Hi, everybody, welcome back from break. I'm Kenny Webster. Thank
you so much for turning on your radio today. I
know it's hard to believe, but there are news stories
that do not involve the Super Bowl or Kanye West's
naked wife.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Shocking. I know.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
In fact, here in Texas we have we have a
real conundrum because you see how great the Republican Party
has become in Washington, DC, and yet that's how good
they aren't in what is supposed to be the biggest,
reddest state in the country. Look, I'm a pretty big
critic a governor, habit, but I will cheer the guy
on when he's doing something I want. Right now, he's
pushing for ten billion dollars in property tax relief. How
(10:05):
many people listening to my voice right now think they
don't pay enough in property tax? I'm sure nobody's raising
their hand. Well, tax relief proposals are being discussed right now,
and Governor Abbot's a big proponent of it. Here to
tell us a little bit about this. Off the air,
we were just asking ourselves if this is too boring
of a topic for talk radio. But Michael Quinn Sullivan
(10:27):
and I know we have the smartest radio listeners on
KP HEREC nine to fifty. And if you are going
to get some property tax relief, I got to think
people want to know about it. Michael quinn Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Look, and what is so significant in this is that generally,
and this is going to sound like a negative criticism,
but it's not generally. Greg Abbot Governor Greg Abbott has
said historically, I want you guys to do good things.
He kind of lays out a kind of a a
(10:58):
an id of where to go without too many specifics.
I've had some bad aspects and some good aspects. This
time around, though in his priorities, he's giving some real specifics,
you know, whether it's bail reform or number of things.
But this property tax thing is most fascinating because the
Texas Senate and the Texas House last week both came
(11:21):
out saying, well, we're we're looking at about six billion
dollars in property tax relief, and you know, everyone kind
of went, you know, kind of.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Golf clapped that.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Okay, twenty four billion dollar budget surplus. He got twenty
four billion dollars they over collected from you and me,
and they're talking about giving six billion back, mainly so
they can get their grubby paws on the rest of
it and spend it on stupid stuff.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Well, Governor Abbott on Sunday stepped out and said, hey,
I want to do ten billion. So he's he's he's
vesting both the House and the Senate, and then he's
going further to explain how he wants that ten billion
dollars delivered in property tax reliefe uh so, so this
is this is you know, we we've been watching he
(12:06):
has been fascinating to watch Greg Abbott kind of shift
as governor over the past few years. You know, he's
still a fairly play it safe politician. Again not a criticism,
but yet you know he tends to kind of you know,
kind of you know, come put play down the line. Right,
He's a he's a former judge to kind of expect
that out of judges. But yet, you know, watching him
(12:28):
these past couple of years, whether it's taking a going
from Operation Loan Star on the border being kind of
a glorified you know, press conference prop too, and then
moving it into a viable, legitimate and now you know, uh,
world class border security operation has been premitt and you've
(12:50):
just gone one issue after issue. We've watched Greg Abbott
do that and I think now that you're here, now
we're seeing property taxes. He doesn't seem like he's going
to be interested in the Texas legislature sports.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Changing Texans on tax reliefe very interesting. I'm glad to
explain it like that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is it kind of strange to think that here in
twenty twenty five, Governor Abbott might actually be more conservative
than the Texas House as a whole.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Look, I think that your average Democrat precinct share in
less Texas might be more conservative than the Texas House
as a whole. That's probably a different, different issue. But yeah,
but look, you know, Greg Abbott is has so formed
it very clear he's not playing games the session by
(13:36):
doing his state of the state so early, laying out
some fairly subsilic I'm not wildly in love with all
the things he laid out as his kind of Prairie warities,
but I don't have to be. I probably don't like
all the things you would name your priorities. But yet
you know the fact that he is being very clear,
very and the manually is very bold. You always have
(13:56):
to like the direction of the boldness to recognize that
it's bold. Is is a pretty interesting change for someone
who I think you know, Greg ed that used to
be synonymous with with kind of milk toast good guy conservative.
Now you're kind of seeing him move into a bold,
good guy conservative, and that's a that's that's not that's
(14:18):
not what we're Kennedy. That's not what we're used to.
This is the this is the dog catching the car,
This is the this is the you know, the mailman
biting the dog gets you know, if.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You're not used to that.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And it's kind of fun to see a governor know less.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
All right, let's talk a little bit about gambling and
casinos in Texas for just a minute. Kind of like
marijuana legalization or medical marijuana legalization.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's not so much the polishy I have an issue with.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
It's the group of people advocating for it, and who
will benefit from it, and how it empowers them, and
and what else they're trying to advocate for. I'll give
you an example right now, one group of people that
are trying to raise money for casinos.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
This is interesting, the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks majority of
owner is a Chinese casino operator. This can't be true, Michael, Yeah,
look it absolutely is.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So you gotta remember a few years ago, the Dallas
Mavericks were sold to the Sands, the kind of the
lead investors of Vegas Sands. Sands Casinos took over ownership
of the Dallas Mavericks. Now let's step back a little further.
When you when you hear Sands Casinos, you're probably thinking
(15:28):
of the Sands Casino in Las Vegas, right, And here's
this company called Sands Casinos. Well, they no longer have
anything to do with any casinos in the United States.
They sold off their interests. They kept their corporate name,
Sands Casinos sometimes called Vegas Sands.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
They kept that name.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
But all of their operations are in China. All the
casinos they operate are in China. They have a deal
with the CCP, So they're making all this money in
China through through the CCP and opera casinos there in
Cow in China. They now started making noise. They spent
big in Texas in twenty twenty four so they could
(16:07):
try to convince the legislature in twenty twenty five to
give them kind of the same kind of deal they
have in China, which is to say, a government monopoly
on casinos. They want a government monopoly on casinos in Texas.
They want it in Dallas. So here is sans Vegas
Sands casinos that doesn't offering any you know, any casinos
(16:28):
in Vegas or the United States coming in Texas. Now,
the one big expenditure they did in Nevada in twenty
twenty four, they gave fifteen million dollars to the University
of Nevada to create the China Appreciation Center. To note
so that everyone in Nevada knows, well, great, No, that
(16:49):
Timpy a real thing. No, literally appreciation center, come on,
Appreciation Center. I mean, look, I mean that's absolutely true.
So this is who these folks are. They've they've been
owning a big share of the Mavericks, and now you
solve the weekend. This bizarre trade they did seen as
(17:09):
weakening the Dallas Mavericks. And it feels like a number
of folks have have posited that this is an effort
by Sands to weaken the Dallas Mavericks the point where
they say, look, and we're not financially viable. Things are
just so bad. Now, if you don't give us a casino,
if you don't let us build a casino here in Dallas,
(17:30):
we're just going to take the Mavericks and move them
to Vegas. And in some ways that's a win win
for UH, for for the UH, UH for for the NBA.
They want a team in Vegas for all the betting
and everything else. They like that. Now now there's also though,
a there's a there's a weird idea of well, maybe
they's moved to China. Remember UH, the Major League Sports
(17:53):
has been bending over backwards to kiss up UH to
the Red Chinese for a while. Now, that's very unlikely,
probably going to move the Mavericks to try, I know,
but at a minimum, you've got, you know, a a
vassal of China trying to dictate an expansion of crony
monopoly gambling in Texas. It's it is a wild deal
in this Dallas Mavericks move this weekend, by trading off
(18:16):
some generational talent for a has been washed out from
UH from I guess the Los Angeles, Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, that was a big shock. Every everyone, I don't
even follow basketball, everybody knows about that. That's a crazy trade.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Yeah, it's a crazy trade, but it does make sense
when you understand what this company is really wanting. They
want a government monopoly to operate a casino in Dallas,
and they would kind of use the Mavericks as their
loss leader, uh for for for having this uh you know,
this this ability to for the new CCP and Sands
(18:53):
and nowhere else to to be to be controlling uh Texas,
Texas socially. So it's a it's a very interesting situation,
and lawmakers don't have to pay attention to this. Lawmakers
are going to have to have to Cancerlo said. There,
you know a lot of the people that Sands gave
money to in twenty twenty four lost. In fact, they
had they were the losingest political investors of twenty twenty four.
(19:18):
They lost massively.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You know, they lost.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
They gave millions of dollars to Day Feeling and he's
no longer the speaker, so they bet poorly. In an
earnings call back in January, the Sands CEO who was
asked about moves in Texas and you kind of pretend
to like he did not know that Texas existed. So,
you know, all of this is just a pretty wild
set of circumstances.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I never looked at the NBA trade as anything political
until you pointed that out. That is fascinating. I also
think It's interesting how you described it as win win.
I would say it's win win win because I feel
like if Mark Cuban leaves Texas, that's good for Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Michael.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I mean, he's still the minority, former principal, honor in
current already owner over there.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah, keep singing that song. I think Kamala Harris would
love to have her boy Mark Cuban as her next
door neighbor and wherever is she's living at And.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
That interesting too. How much do you know about him?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Did you know he started his career as a young
man as a scab for the newspaper industry. He ran
and distributed newspapers during a strike. Way before he was
a billionaire, before he made money off the Internet or
any of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
He started his career off as a scab. I don't
know how many people know that about him.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah, I mean he looked for as frustrating of a
fellow as he is in terms of his politics and
other things. He is quite fascinating. You know, he's a
very fascinating guy. But I just wish he wasn't just
such a crazy lunatic lefty.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And friends with the communists. But that doesn't shock men.
Who's surprised about that, Michael, nobody.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Look at as long as the CCPs checks cash, I
think he's probably okay with him.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Michael, I gotta tell you, both of the stories you
describe today on the air and your analysis of them fascinating.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
But what's equally is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
To me is that you can't get these stories anywhere
else texas scorecard dot com on the internet and KPRC
Radio here in Houston.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Nobody else is covering this stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
If I was an avid news consumer and I was
not subscribed to the texascorecard dot com email list, I
would go there right now.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Is that a hard thing to do.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
It is a very easy thing to do, and I
really appreciate you saying that. Love for folks. Check out
texascorecard dot com. I get our email list. It's free.
We refuse were nonprofit, We refuse to sell your information.
Ain't nobody going to find out you subscribed to us
unless you tell them? So we'd love to have folks
check out texascorecard dot com, get on our email list, and.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
While you're at it, follow my buddy Michael on social media.
Quick break. We'll be back this President obamba. You're listening
Pursued Happiness.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Radio, Uh, Pursued Happiness like Will Smith and the movie
two thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
It was good.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
A study finds that air traffic control towers workers right now.
The study is called air Traffic Control Towers. The New
Home Depot.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Sounds like some Texas justice to me, Lockett and.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Now Live from the Border.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
It's Bright Bart's Brandon Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only
on KPRC radio.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
He is the Derby who would be Brandon.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Ill real last decade, I can't think of anybody who's
done more extensive coverage of what's happening at our border
than Brandon and his team bright Bart Texas. The Cartel
chronicles pretty groundbreaking stuff. I mean, now, a lot of
journalists go down to the border, but back when Brandon
started doing it, nobody was. So A lot's changed since then,
and yet in some ways some things have not changed.
(22:44):
The Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, there's a part
of me that wonders, did he get a cleaning lady pregnant?
He's virtue signaling at a town hall talking about how
he's harboring an illegal immigrant in his house. Now, most people,
if you were sympathetic to illegal immigrants, you don't want
them to get deported. Wouldn't telling people at a live,
broadcasted event where the illegal immigrants are being hidden.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Doesn't that seem like exactly what you wouldn't do?
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Talking about I don't want to get into too much detail,
but there's someone in our broader universe whose immigration status
is not yet at the point that they are trying
to get it to and we said, you know what,
let's have her live in our house above our garage.
What in good luck to the Feds coming in to
(23:31):
try to get her good luck?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
You just told him where there's an illegal immigrant. So yeah,
Tom Homan reacted to this news on Fox News earlier
this week. And I've got a little bit of that
right here.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Hen I've gotten hold of it.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
We'll let it go.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
We'll look into it. And if he's normally normally harbor
and concealing an illigue alien, that's a violation on tideway
nice stays called thirteen twenty four. I will seek prosecution
or the secretary will seek prosecution.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Wow, this is remarkable, Brandon Darby, You've got the borders
are saying he's going to investigate the governor of New
Jersey for harboring illegal immigrants.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
Your reaction, Yeah, if you go out and say that,
then you're probably going to get in trouble with this administration.
They don't care and they're there who you are. You know,
the last administration didn't care who Trump was or who
a lot of people were, and they went after them,
even going after them on things that are common business
(24:27):
practice from what I understand, like you know, telling the
tax people you think your property is worth less than
you might tell somebody who you're selling it to, right,
I think that's pretty common, and they went after him.
So I think this is Trump unchained Trump two point
oh was Trump unchained? And so absolutely, if he's saying that,
(24:48):
he's actually in order to if the governor's saying that
he's in order to virtue signal, he's he's actually putting
someone at risk of getting deforted, you know, bringing attention
to it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
It's such a bizarre thing for a governor. Is it
possible he doesn't like this woman and he's trying to
get her into trouble?
Speaker 10 (25:08):
No, I think that, you know, I think that that's
one of those kind of situations where he he you know,
he started off by trying to say without getting into
too much detail, and then he's like, I know, here's
exactly where she lives, right above my garage. You know,
So he obviously meant, you know, he got carried away
and didn't mean to reveal that much. I think that's
what happened.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Back in the day when he was running for office.
Several years back, there was a political debate. The moderator
asked the people on the panel, all the gubernatorial candidates,
if they would try to help illegal immigrants from getting deported,
and he was one of the guys who said that
he would do it. Now, his office, as townhall dot
com reports, is furiously trying to backpedal. They rep told
(25:50):
the Post that the loose lipped Jersey leader had been
misinterpreted and that no such situation occurred. He doesn't really
have an illegal immigrant living above his garage. How do
you misinterpret that, Brandon? We all just listened to the SoundBite.
It's clear as day what he was saying, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
So I think I think what they mean is he
shouldn't have said that. They're currently is not an illegal
alien living above his Dridge because they had to uproot
her life and move her to another place because of
his big mouth. And I yeah, but there's no misinterpretation.
That's exactly what he said.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (26:25):
And and so if if that's true, then what will happen.
I'll tell you what they'll do, because they want to
prove a point. What they're going to do is probably
use you know, it's called ad tech, and they're probably
going to identify the phone that the woman, the illegal
alleged illegal immigrant US and they're going to find where
(26:46):
the phone is and they're going to find her and
the port and make a big deal out of it.
None of it would have happened without his mouth, because
generally they're going after criminals, right, And you said, argue,
everyone who's here illegally is a criminal. But I mean
they're going after people who who have committed other crimes, right,
fugitive fellars, people who are wanted for murder and other countries,
people who are wanted for murder here, people who that's
(27:08):
who they're really going after. And so you know, if
in the process of that they come across other people,
they deport them too. But generally the people who are
hanging around are out around a murderer are either going
to be pretty rotten people we don't want here too,
some bad ombrees to use Trump speak, or they're going
(27:28):
to be you know, some religious person who's like trying
to help that person. Right, But but generally, like, I
don't think that anyone in my circles is wanted for murder,
you know what I mean, anybody who I'm hanging out
with or having over for a party. So so if
you know, there's zero percent chance of me getting caught
up in that, right and that kind of deal. So so,
(27:49):
but what he just did is put a target on
that person's back, and obviously the people are leadership are
like find that person, you know, get her all right?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Question for you had we had Wesley Hunt here at
Congressman Wesley Hunt earlier this week, and he had pointed
out how he's generally supportive of Pete hag Seth using
the Pentagon to protect our border. He's aware of posse
commentatives for those that aren't familiar with the term, that
you can't use the military as police. But in a sense,
if they're protecting us from foreign invaders, then they're not police,
(28:20):
they're military, right.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Correct, Yeah, so I'm in favor of it. You know,
our caution people. You know, historically there's been quite a
few instances just on Fort Bliss and other other you know,
large encampments of military personnel along the border. Every year
we see several prosecutions for them working with the cartel
or some you know private working with the cartel and
(28:43):
helping smuggle. And so these kind of things will happen,
but overall our border will be a lot more secure
because of it.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I love it, all right.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You've been a pretty big critic of Trump one point
zero and how he handled the border. You pointed out
that it wasn't what you would have done, it wasn't
always effective, and so your credit. Illegal immigration may have
dwindled a bit during Trump's first four years in office,
but it certainly didn't end, and it much got much
worse after that.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
What do you think about how he's doing now?
Speaker 10 (29:12):
Well, first off, I'm I'm a pretty big fan not
for him, And what I was critical of is that
their promise to go to war on Mexican cartels on
the first administration, and what they did was instead they
went to war on MS thirteen and which is a
gang right, But is not. They're not cartels, and they're different, right,
(29:35):
They're a street gang where a cartel is something different,
and we could get into that nuance. But so what
I was critical of at the time was that they
really were playing softball with cartels, and just as Obama
had done right, just as Biden continued to do so
this time around, though they're not this time around with
(29:57):
Trump unchained. I mean, you have home in, you have
you know, Sebastian Gorka with you from the terrorism angle,
you have you know Derek Maltz with the d I mean,
these guys are these are no jokes. These guys are
people who get stuffed on and they they they're messaging
is right on. Their messaging is largely similar to what
(30:19):
I've been saying for years. And that's probably because the
people most of the people making the messaging are people
who follow me on Twitter, are people whom I know
and have talked with me quite a bit over the years.
So I'm very very impressed with the lineup they have
to deal with this issue, and I'm impressed with the
fact that they're they're pressing it. You know, I'm very impressed,
(30:41):
and you know this as someone who has tried to
expose and fight cartels for so many years with a
team of really good people, some of whom have died
in Mexico right on efforts to report on this. And
I'm just I'm just telling you, I'm pleased. I think
(31:02):
that I think this is the way, you know, to
quote the Mandalorian.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
One more quick question for you before we get out
of here.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
What is this news I'm hearing you guys have launched
the Breitbart News Foundation.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
What is that? Well, so our news foundation Uh, you know,
the economics of news and of media is uh these days,
there's really not a lot of room for you know,
you can't economically do very in depth these really complex investigations.
(31:34):
There's just no there's no money in that, right, there's
no ability to do that.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (31:41):
So with the news Foundation, not dependent on advertising dollars,
not depending on clicks, we can really dig in depth.
We can dig in depth into the you know, the
circles of corruption, the deep entrenched corruption and cronyism in Mexico.
And we're also launching a China project. And you know,
we have a number of sources we've built up in China,
(32:04):
and from those sources, we get a lot of information,
a lot of data, a lot of reports, a lot
of a lot of you know, hard copies of of
of in celt When we think the public needs to know,
you know, we think the public needs to you know,
somebody has to go after China and expose of it.
That's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
My brother Brandon Darby the website Breitbart. Check out their
work Cartel Chronicles.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Follow him on x.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Kenny has always thought the best things in life are free,
free plus tags of course Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Travis Kelcey said he'd like to play in another three
Seasons with the Chiefs, of course, just like everything else.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I gotta think that's Taylor Swift's call.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You know, is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt
or what?
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Or what?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
He is a stand up comedian from Texas. He writes
comedy in Hollywood. He's currently working in New Mexico and
I'm going to be in New Mexico this weekend.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Tim Mathis is a very funny comedian who has thoughts
about a new project called True to Texas. Matthew mcconiughey
and Woody Harrelson have reunited for a True Detective moment
in a new ad directed by the series creator Nick Pozzolano.
In the video for True to Texas, McConaughey and Woody
Harrelson are playing the characters from that show, True Detective
(33:37):
Detectives Rust Cole and Marty Hart, and they're calling for
Texas legislature to create new incentives for film and TV
production in the state. The ad includes appearances from Dennis Quaid,
Billy Bob Thornton, Rene Zowegger, among other people. Here's where
this gets tricky, right, because a lot of people would
love the idea of Hollywood film producers coming to text
(34:01):
to produce stuff here. But of course, as a lot
of people have pointed out, those subsidies have to come
from somewhere, and something that is being pointed out by
grassroots activists right now is that we can't subsidize Hollywood
and have property tax relief at the same time. I
don't know what the answer is, but who's stand up
comedian Tim mathis with his take? Tim, what do you
think about this?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
I love it?
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Unsurprisingly as a native Texan and somebody who's also in
the film industry, but obviously not in the film industry
the way these guys and gals are. I love the
push to bring the fleeing industry from California to Texas.
This would be a great Texas move in my opinion.
(34:45):
The film industry is decentralizing as we speak. A lot
of production as moving out of California because of their
high costs. Mainly that's all covered in the ad as well.
Nick Palozza put to the Loatto being involved is very
telling because the last season of True Detective, he was
famously almost completely cut out of the entire production and
(35:09):
it was terrible. So that had a lot to do
with the climate in Hollywood. They wanted to push, you know,
female centered and lgbt qia and stuff like that, and
you know the fact that people are moving away from
that type of virtue signaling woke BS is very good
(35:34):
for places like Texas, who I assume you would have
to wouldn't have as many of those hang ups.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Okay, so I guess one of the questions are a
lot of listeners are probably asking themselves right now, if
Hollywood moves production to the state of Texas, do Hollywood
voters come with them?
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Well, yes and no. You got to remember and if
you followed the last election, which I know you did,
the California went further red. Obviously it didn't flip or
else we would have been able to handle those fires.
But yes, Californians would be moving to Texas, not as
(36:15):
many as you think, because a lot of the jobs
could be done by people in Texas to begin with.
And secondly, a lot of people that move out of
California are already people who don't agree with the way
California is going, myself being a case in point. I mean,
I've moved to New Mexico in part because of how
bad California is run. We paid too much money to
(36:39):
not have operating fire hydrants for example.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Wow, Okay, I get your point.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Yeah, California has a lot of the logical and reasonable
people are the ones that are going to be pushing
to move out of California. I mean, just look at
this ad. Dennis Quaid is famously a Trump supporter. Matthew
McConaughey's a long time moderate and kind of goes both ways.
Woody Harrelson actually came out and hammered the whole COVID
(37:07):
narrative and Big Tarma on SNL. It was a very
famous moment. So these are the type of Californians that
are going to be moving back to places like Texas
to try to make their films.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Okay, let's talk a little bit about Hollywood values for
just a minute. And what was just said by Cynthia Nixon.
This is the woman who is the star. It's one
of the women that stars on the TV show Sex
and the City. I've never been a fan of the show,
but everybody knows what it is.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
We all know who they are.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Listen to what she's saying right now about all the
trans kids in her life. When she spoke at a
political rally against Trump the other night, had his.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
Tough surgery ass and Yu a number of years ago.
Looks fantastic. His surgeon was the best he could have
an act. And the idea that the city is filled
with young people.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
All right, she's talking about how her daughter got triple
missectomy or double miss ectomy or whatever it was. Double
miss I probably doesn't have three boobs. This isn't like
the chick from Total Recall or whatever. But that wasn't
even the SoundBite I was trying to play. This is
the SoundBite I was looking for.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Most importantly, I.
Speaker 7 (38:23):
Am here today as the mother of a proud transman. Drop,
I am here today as the aunt of a proud transman.
My best friend's kid is trans, and my kid's best
(38:46):
friend is trans.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Let's possit right there. Her daughter's trans, her sister's daughter's trans.
Her best friend has a trans kid. Her kid's best
friend is also trans. But that's a lot of trans
can aren't we talking about point oh seven percent of society?
Remember when we learned that all three of Megan Fox's
sons are trans, All three of your kids are trans.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
What are the odds? Tim mathis, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
What are the odds of that? Did I miss an
Oprah Winfrey episode where you get a trans kid, you
get a transcit, everybody gets a TRANSCID.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
I didn't realize that that was one of the themes. Yeah,
it's wild, especially because the simple fact is there's no
such things as the trans kid. In order for somebody
to trans, you have to consent to things that minors
cannot consent to. I've been of the opinion for a
(39:41):
long time that the transing the kids is just a
trojan horse to allow the minor attracted persons to get
at what they really want to get at, and that
is allowing kids to consent with adults for you know,
stuff like that. So I question anybody pushing the trends
(40:03):
the kid's narrative. A lot of LGBTQIA people are worried
about the whole trans the kid's movement because a lot
of the kids that are being transitioned that early in
life are actually just gay and lesbian people who end
up mutilating their bodies. So it's very odd when people
(40:25):
push this narrative. It's very alarming when people push this narrative,
because if a kid can consent to having their penis
or breasts removed at twelve or eleven or whatever, then
clearly they can consent to sexual activity with an adult.
That is one of the goals. I think that this movement,
(40:47):
at least some people in this movement have where they
want kids to be able to transition because they want
kids to be able to consent.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
All right.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
So, Netflix as a movie out called Amelia Perez. I
think you and I have talked about it on the air.
It's a movie about a transgender woman man whatever, starring
Carla Sofia Gascon And as you know, when Netflix, Warner Brothers, Disney,
whoever is getting ready for the Oscars, they have social
media posts. They have an ad campaign that they run
(41:21):
to try to promote their products, their content so they
can get the Oscar win. Images of Gaskon, who made
history as the first openly transgender acting nominee in the
Academy Awards History adorned posters, billboards, advertisements for the musical film,
which got thirteen Oscar nominations. That campaign Fromflex has abruptly
(41:41):
changed after social media posts were uncovered and widely shared
last week in which Gascon Sofia Goes Carla gos Sophia
Gascon called Islam an infection and deeply disgusting. You know,
say what you will about transgender ism or the alphabet
people here, but I gotta think is and the LGBT
(42:01):
community cannot coexist. Gascon denigrated or mocked wide ranging subjects,
including diversity efforts China, George Floyd, a black man who's
twenty twenty killing. I mean, we all know what happened
to George Floyd. I'm reading this from the Breitbart Report.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Now Netflix is trying to distance themselves from their OSCAR
nominated trans actress, Tim. What do you make of it?
Speaker 6 (42:24):
So Netflix is now transphobic? Yes, yes, they're they're literally
running scared from a trans woman.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
They picked Islam over trans apparently.
Speaker 6 (42:35):
Well yeah, I mean that's that's the way it seems
to be going in that direction. But it's it, This
is it. I mean, you live by the sword, you
die by the sword. You you your career got a
huge boost because you transitioned and you played the game.
The game is virtue signaling, box checking. And you know,
(42:58):
I get the part because des I'm such and such,
you don't even get considered because you're such and such.
That's the game she played and appears that she crapped
out because she forgot to erase her Twitter history. You can't,
in one part, be part of the part of the
club while you break the rules of the club. And
(43:21):
the number one rule of the club is you can't
say anything disparaging about anybody considered to be a protected
group and Islam, George Floyd, these are protected groups. So
thanks for playing MS Gascon, But it looks like you
crapped out, my.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Brother, Tim, You've got projects going on. What's up with you?
Speaker 6 (43:44):
I will be in El Paso at the Comic Strip
from March six to nine, and the club I'm working
at now in Albuquerque, Hyenas Albuquerque, is going to be
opening next week with Carlos Mencia.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
