Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack gannon government sucks. Suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Or a suit
of happiness us on your radio toil just as cheeseburgers
a liberty fries.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Today is National Battery Day, so stock up Eagles fans.
The cowboys will be in town before you know it.
Thanks for turning on your radio.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm me, you're you. We got a big show for
you this afternoon. Who's gonna be here? Thanks for asking.
I know you didn't ask, but State Senator Mays Middleton
is stopping buy in a few minutes. He is such
an impressive character. I really like Maze. I gotta tell you.
He's a young conservative. He's smart ideologically, I find myself
(00:49):
aligned with him on almost everything. He's very ambitious. I
get the impression Maze Middleton is gonna be around for
a while. I don't know, but he's I don't know
what the future holds for any but if I had
to pick somebody from the young freshman crew of freshman,
he's been around. You know, he's been around a few
years at this point. Of these young lawmakers, young statesmen
(01:10):
in the state of Texas. I gotta think he's somebody
that I hope has a future here. And for the record,
I hold the right and reserve the right to change
my mind about that later on, like with anybody, you know,
Dan Crenshaw. Sometimes sometimes sometimes you like a candidate and
then you just change your mind about him. Also stopping
by at the end of the show, Current Revolts Tony
Ortiz is going to be here. One of the most
(01:31):
hated men in Texas political media.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
He's a friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Some people think his news reporting is a little too tabloidy,
but this is talk radio.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
We can tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We can tell you the dirt and the gossip on
the people we send to Austin in Washington, DC. Why
shouldn't we hang around for that? Lots coming up before
we get to any of it. Can we talk about borders?
Our Tom Holman for just a minute Breitbart dot Com
today reporting on how he says illegal daily encounters are
down to two twenty nine a day from eleven thousand.
I'm gonna rep heat that because I think it bears repeating.
(02:01):
There were eleven thousand illegal immigrants coming over the border
a day. Now there's about two hundred and twenty nine.
You know why right, Because what we're doing is working.
What we are doing is actually producing results. We sent
an administration to Washington, d C. To do a specific job,
and they're doing it. In the last twenty four hours,
(02:23):
he said this yesterday. In the last twenty four hours,
the US border patrol encounter two hundred twenty nine aliens
across the US the entire southern border. That is down
from eleven thousand a day from a year ago.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But bup up up.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But but Joe, Biden and Kamala and the corporate media
told me this wasn't possible unless we passed a massive
border security bill that would allow thirty five illegal aliens
into our country every week. But but, but, but Joe
and Kamala and the corporate media told me Trump killed
that bill because he wanted to keep the problem alive
for political gain. But but b b bu bu up, Orange Man,
(02:56):
bad redhead Evil. I have one question about these two
hundred and twenty nine illegal encounters. Is it possible they
were self deportees going the other way? In related news,
Team Trump has put a stop to all these illegal
aliens invading our country. A shelter for illegals is closing
down in San Diego. No more twenty million dollars for
(03:18):
you in that sad all.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So, the San Diego NGO says its shelter has had
not a single migrant walked through its door since President
Trump took office. They're now closing that shelter down and
laying off more than one hundred employees, they say because
of Trump's border policies and is ending of their federal funding.
Jewish Family Service San Diego has been running a rapid
response migrant shelter that offered migrants care packages, food, legal services,
(03:44):
travel coordination, medical screenings, and immigration case management. FEMA records
show they had been allocated twenty two million dollars last year,
but the NGO says they've received none of that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Now, Nan, I'm gonna pause it right here real quick.
I went to I go to Catholic church.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You guys know that, right, And my Catholic church, the
Archdiocese of Galveston Houston, apparently was getting a lot of
money in ena from the federal government. Why why were
they getting so much money from the federal Why does
my church need money from the federal government. The latest
news is that apparently they had to lay off a
(04:22):
handful of people, what like one hundred plus employees because
of the cuts to the Galveston Archdioces. The Galveston Houston
Archdioces over more than one hundred employees. I asked about
this at church and I was told to write an
email and they would get back to me. Ken Webster's
Pursuit of Happiness a radio show that's just as good
(04:45):
when you're driving around Soba as it is when you're
drunk at home.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Okay, So.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Apparently the inventor of ntela has died. Friends say he's
spread himself a bit too thin. No, no, I'm not proud
of it either, but at least you're paying attention. Hi,
welcome back from break everybody. Kenny Webster here. I like
a lot of you. I watch what happens in Austin
and it's frustrating when you realize that we pay lawmakers,
and I know state lawmakers don't get paid a ton
(05:13):
of money, but we do fund them and their staff
and their offices. And you see how dysfunctional the House
is compared to how much gets done in the state Senate.
Isn't it incredible? It really is the opposite of what
you would expect it to be. You would assume the
State Senate would be the place where there'd be a
lot of lobbyists and the swamp would exist. No, it
turns out is the opposite. That's the place where they
(05:35):
get things done often they have a very conservative agenda.
And then meanwhile, the other end of the same building,
you've got the House where apparently Rhino Republicans collaborate with
mainstream Democrats, and like, what's even the point of being
a conservative in this state? I hate it. That's why
I have said ever since Elon Musk and Donald Trump
(05:55):
and JD. Vance took over, wouldn't it be cool if
there was a Texas doge.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
We've made this point many times. We need this.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Turns out somebody else had the same idea. One of
the people that we send to Austin who we do trust,
State Senator Mays Middleton, a young conservative. I mean, I
would say this guy is one of the on the
short list of people that I think is doing a
fantastic job in Austin right now. And well, believe it
or not, he's on the line. State Senator Mays Middleton,
Texas doge. This could be a thing.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Hey, Yeah, Kenny, appreciate you having me on today. You know,
this is number one on the Texas DOJ agenda is
banning taxpayer funded lobbying, where at least eighty million dollars
a year of your property tax dollars are being diverted
to the pockets of liberal Austin lobbyists that are lobbying
(06:44):
against you as a taxpayer, and lobbying against parents as well,
and almost always lobbying against the conservative values that we
had this huge mandate on in this election. And you know,
in a lot of ways, taxpayer funded lobbying is actually
worse than what you've seen with USAID.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, it's unbelievable to me. I can't even believe that's
a real thing. How is it possible that tax dollars
can be used to lobby for liberal causes in what's
considered to be the biggest conservative state in the country.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I mean, how does that even happen.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Well, I've been fighting to pass this ban ever since
I first got elected. It is the first bill that
I always filed, the ban on taxpayer funded lobbying, and
it's going to be Senate built nineteen, you know, Senate
priority bill. This legislative session. It's basically where your local
tax dollars are diverted to woke Austin lobbyists. I mean
you look at some of the things that they're lobbying for.
(07:38):
They're lobbying against election integrity, they're lobbying its border security,
they're lobbying its property tax relief. They're even lobbying actually
against stopping boys from going to girls' restrooms, locker rooms
and showers, which was called the Women's Privacy Act. There
against that, and they even invited transgender stud and send
(08:00):
to train school board members on gender pronouns. And this
is what your tax dollars are being spent on, and
it's got to end.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, that's incredible to me.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So, like you pointed out, you've proposed this bill before,
and you know there's a lot of bills flooding around
in Austin. Why didn't this pass before? I would assume
this was a popular idea. I've never heard anybody say otherwise.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Well, it's failed in the House three times now. My
first session in the Texas House actually got it to
the floor. It got fifty eight votes on the Texas
House floor. And the moment that that bill, this bill
banning taxpayer funded lobbying failed the gallery. You know, this
is the Austin Swamp's voice here cheered, And so look
(08:44):
what this bill does is it pulls the plug to
drain the Austin swamp. This fundamentally changes how Austin works
because right now you're basically paying to post things you
believe in your property tax dollars. And it's not fair speech.
You know, if you don't like bud light, don't buy
bud Light. If you don't like what Target stands for,
(09:05):
don't go to Target. But but if you don't like
what say your school board, city council, or commissioner's court
is lobbying on, quit paying your property taxes. And what
happens someone shows up with a badge and a gun
to take your property. So it's for speech at the
end of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, I love that idea. Texas dowed is such a
good idea. It's one more example of things that I
would hope the Texas Republican Party could be inspired by
what's happening in you know, this new administration in Washington,
d C. Another one, and I know you you probably
see this right from your backyard. Being a lawmaker from
South to Houston, Gulf of America. Maze, how cool is this?
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I love it?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I love it. You know that bill has been filed
in the House by Briscoe Caine, and I wholeheartedly support it.
We're going to hope to get that into law this session.
You know, it's part of Donald Donald Trump's agenda to
put America first.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, it's a very cool thing, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So another thing that just streamed right through this, and
we wonder what's going to happen when it gets to
the House is school choice. So many people look at
these headlines week after week, Senator Middleton teachers on probation
for admitting to having sex with students. I'm looking at
a story about it right now. Happen in round Rock,
happen in bass Drop, happens in Keller, It's happening all
(10:18):
over the state. I can't rap my mind. It's such
a frequent thing. It's like food stamp fraud. It happens
so commonly people don't even it's not even interesting anymore
when you see it in the news. And yet with
all these different examples of public school teachers clearly doing unethical,
not just unethical, immoral, often illegal things with their students.
(10:39):
How is anyone resistant, how is anyone against school choice?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Why?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Why is this a problem and why does it always
seem like in the case of a state representative jeen Wu,
for example, the very people that are against it not
only went to private school, but send their own kids
to private school.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yeah, there's a lot of hypocrisy in opposing school choice
where some of the biggest opponents have sent their children
to private school themselves. And you know, it's like choices
for me, but not for thee you know, it's kind
of their response. And you know, the biggest opponent actually
to school choice is a tax pay funded lobbyists. So
I noticed that, you know, in twenty seventeen. It's how
(11:16):
I first really became aware how bad this problem was.
Is like I would see a mom, single mom and committee.
You know, she say, I support the school choice bill.
I need this choice for my child. I can't afford
private school tuition, I need special needs services. Please give
me this chance. She's taken the day off work, she
hadn't been paid to be there, and then right after
she testifies, Tasby sends a lobbyist to testify against her
(11:39):
with her own dollars and school choice is really simple
because right now only government decides how those school tax
dollars are spent. We're just saying we want parents to
get to decide how those education dollars are spent, because
who knows a child better than a mom or dad,
And we're trusting moms and dads of each you needed
(12:00):
to choose. And unfortunate it's a tax for funded lobbyists
that are out there spreading lives about this bill and
saying they do not trust the moms and dads in
our communities and the ones that live on ther street
to choose what's best for their sewn or their daughter.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, it's kind of incredible to me.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You know, you're you're you're young, you're one, You're considered
to be one of the most conservative people in state centered.
I know you that know that, but maybe our radio
listeners don't. Not only is mas Middleton one of the
youngest people in state legislature, he's also one of the
most conservative. And when Mays and I were in our twenties,
when we were teenagers, black Democrats loved school choice. They
(12:36):
when it was when it was a brand new, fresh idea.
They thought this was brilliant, the idea of letting, you know,
poor inner city kids go to a better school district
than the one that they had by default. Somehow, weirdly enough,
over the last decade fifteen years, they changed their.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Position on that. Why is that?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Why?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Why is it something that they overwhelmingly thought would have
been great for single moms families of single mothers in
their community suddenly is a bad idea?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
What changed their mind?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Well, it doesn't make any sense, but I mean that's
what the unions and taxpayer funded lobbying groups are pushing.
You know, they're the ones that are I guess, threatening election,
you know, opposition for people that support school choice. And look,
it's easy to stand with the parents. We know who's
going to benefit the most from this program. It's mainly
going to be low income families. Hispanic African American families
(13:28):
are going to benefit the most from a school choice
program because these are famis that don't have the chance
right now because they can't afford to go to private
school or homeschool, or special needs therapies or tutoring or
all the things that you can do with Senate Bill too.
And by the way, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have
endorsed s in it bill too.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Oh, I saw that. I love that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah, Elon. Elon put out a statement. We got a
pass school choice in Texas.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You know, and it's amazing to me that this was
held up last time. Every Republican said they thought it
was great. Governors behind it, you know, Maze. I don't
always agree with Governor Abbott, especially during the pandemic, but
on this thing, boy, I see eye to eye with him.
If there's any Obviously, the Democrats might be a speed
bomb on this thing.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
But whenever you.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Hear critics talk about the school choice bill in Texas,
it's always filled with disinformation. They talk about, oh, they're
going to cut funding to public schools last session, didn't
you guys increase funding to public schools for the school
choice bill. They say it'll be bad for homeschool kids.
I don't see how it could be. But I don't
know what could hold it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Up this time.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Well, so the good news is a lot of those
problems were resolved in the primary this past year. So,
you know, conservatives were very successful, especially in the House
Republican primaries, and a lot of the you know, more
liberal Republican state rep that were not living up to
their conservative promises were voted out. You know, that's how
(14:54):
I got elected to the House. Knocked on six thousand doors,
ran against a Joe Strauss supported Liberal Republican in comment
that was not living up to his conservative promises, beat
him in the primary. And that's what elections are about.
It's about accountability. You need to do what you said
you were going to do, and we're fed up with it.
I mean, you're looking at this on the federal level too,
(15:15):
every level of government, there is a mandate for boldness,
a boldness of conservative values. People are tired of waiting.
They want action now. And of course we've seen the
wonderful things Nonald Trump is doing on the federal level,
but that doesn't stop there. You know, that applies to
the state, That applies to local government as well. We
need boldness our decisions and government to go fight for
(15:38):
what we said we were going to do.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I love it. Hey, one more question for you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
You and I spoke briefly about this off the air,
but one of the ideas we had on this radio
show not long ago, when we were reacting to the
news about hospital workers and public school employees promising that
they would protect illegal immigrants from ICE if ICE agents
came to their instant, their taxpayer funded, publicly funded institute.
Jusians even a member of Trende arraguar a criminal illegal immigrant.
(16:04):
You see these videos from TikTok of far left activists
masquerading as as public employees saying they would protect illegal immigrants.
And I had pointed out these people should be stripped
of their occupational licenses. State Representative Steve Toth and Brisco
Caine thought that was a good enough idea. They're going
to propose the Pursuit of Happiness Act if this makes
it to the Senate, and mays who knows if it will,
(16:25):
but if it does, would you be a yes vote
on that?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Yes, it's a great bill. You know, it is unacceptable
that we're seeing local government often paid for it with
your property tax dollars, opposing President Trump's agendas to secure
our border, and he's starting to deport you know, all
of these violent illegal aliens, and these are things that
should have happened already. I mean, in our community, people
(16:50):
have died because of this. You know, we've seen so
many situations where people have been hurt and killed because
it's catcher release has been the policy under Joe Biden
for four years, and we're all suffering because of that.
So it is wrong, it's unethical, and is illegal for
local government to get in the way of Donald Trump's
agenda to secure our border. And the state is going
(17:11):
to step in and continue to step in to make
sure that we help him fulfill that mission and Tom
Homan fulfill that mission to secure our border, and make
sure that you know, illegal immigrants or returned to their
country of origin, their home country. And certainly someone that's
licensed by the State of Texas should not be complicit
in stopping you know, ice and border patrol and fulfilling
(17:33):
that mission. And our US attorneys and US marshals.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
All right, I always save the hardest question for last
whenever I'm talking to a state lawmaker. If you just
tune in on the radio, this is Senator May's Middleton,
Texas State Senator District eleven. Senator Middleton in District eleven.
Where is the best place to get barbecue? Where's the
best place to get a taco?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
That that is a trick question, because he's got to
make me a fish. I personally love Queen's Barbecue. It's
on Broadway on the Island. Awesome, wonderful. They are one
of the best lots of great places to get a taco.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Actually I had my election n a watch party at
Old Tempo. They're in Webster on forty five, So that
place has brought me good luck. You know, had an
anti school choice person running against me. They got fifteen
percent of the vote, So yeah, I love it. I
thought that was a pretty pretty good outcome.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I always say breakfast tacos are supposed to be the
easiest thing. Anybody can scramble eggs and put cheese and
bacon on it. But there's something about the tortilla at
El Tiempo. It's probably my favorite breakfast taco. Folks follow
May's Middleton May's underscore Middleton on x on social media.
You'll be glad that we did, and I that you did,
and we'll keep you guys up to date on what
(18:54):
is going on with his law, with his bill to
stop people from using tax payer money for lobbying. It
seems so obvious. Senator Middleton, thanks for your time this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Hey, Kenny, thank you for having me on today. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
This is pursuit of happiness radio.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
All right, so Uber, did you ever take Uber? You
Uber left for you. I'll use whichever one costs less.
It's not always the same. Did you know that when
you you could check the raid on your phone? And
sometimes there's a twenty dollars difference to get to and
from the airport. That's a pretty big deal, right, twenty bucks?
I think so uber is accusing door Dash of threatening
restaurants unless they agree to an exclusive partnership.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Everyone knows that forcing someone to be exclusive is only
cool when women do it. I'm kidding, hey, like a
lot of you, I just I canrry my mind around
the Luigi Mangione thing. Isn't it odd how many people
out there are praising this guy for murdering someone.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I mean purportedly.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
He's you know, innocent until proven guilty, YadA, YadA, YadA.
It really seems like he's guilty, right, and his his
supporters certainly don't think he's innocent.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
They think he's guilty.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
They want to make sure that he has the best
life possible in prison or wherever he's going. So there's
this fund online to pay for his attorneys and people
have made big donations to it, you know, not surprisingly
CNN supported it, CNN promoted it. But I'm getting ahead
of myself here. I do wonder and I've asked this
question before, but I'll ask it again. If he has
(20:26):
found guilty of terrorism, terrorism, and you're one of the
people on social media that was praising him, promoting him,
raising money for his legal defense fund, did you break
the law? You know, you're not supposed to go out
and promote ISIS. I know this is kind of a
gray area for free speech advocates and stuff like that,
(20:46):
but it certainly seems like it would be a violation
of Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube terms of service, doesn't it
at the very least? Wait, you're promoting a terrorist on
social media. I can't. I can't do that. I mean,
I wouldn't want to. But if somebody was promoting ISIS
or the neo Nazis on social media, odds are it
would probably get censored. Even on X, I think they'd
(21:08):
be censored and then they would be investigated by.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The FBI anyway.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Right prior to com Today reporting on how CNN's Kaitlyn Collins,
do you remember her Kaitlyn Collins is the woman on
CNN who did the town hall with Trump that accidentally
made it more popular back in twenty twenty three. She
is now defending herself for promoting the Luigi Mangioni legal
defense fund. She says she didn't promote it. She posted
(21:36):
a link that promoted it, and that's different. It's not
the same thing as promoting it. But she did delete
the link. Mangioni, of course, the accused left wing assassin
charge with gunning down United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in
cold blood. Collins inexplicably tweeted out Luigi Mangoni's defense fund information.
(21:56):
Mangioni is not part of Collins's beach. She doesn't cover him.
It's not the kind of news story she covers the
White House. She doesn't cover Luigi mangione and a good
faith search could not find if she found newsworthy web
addresses for the many parties who sought to defend January
sixth defendants. But she says this was newsworthy, so and
her tweet contained no context, no reporting. She simply announced
(22:19):
the following She said, Luigi Mangioni's legal defense team has
launched a new website today and that she says it's newsworthy.
She's not promoting it, it's just newsworthy. And that might
be newsworthy, But then why add the link? Where's the journalism?
Where's the who?
Speaker 7 (22:32):
What?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
When?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Why? How?
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Where?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
She was criticized for doing it. Then she deleted the
link and claimed a New York Post story about her
promoting a legal defense fund wasn't real. But it really
seems real. If Collins had a history of tweeting out
defense websites, or if Mangione was part of her news
reporting beat, this would make sense. Had she added some
(22:55):
journalism to the tweet, it might have made sense. None
of that happened. She obviously deleted the tweet because she
could not defend it. CNN think about this today. This
week CNN promoted a legal defense website for an accused terrorist,
and we're all just supposed to ignore that. Yeah, let's
get straight to discussion. Were here to talk about something
(23:18):
about politics and government and nullice, hit and coruption this
show hit?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Ain't you average this podcast?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
You gotta get it?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
It's own?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
We can this just push some happiness.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
We have discovered, we have discovered a new kind of grift.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
There's so many.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Earlier in the show, State Senator Mais Middleton, good guy,
calls in to talk about this grift using taxpayer money
to lobby. This isn't a new idea. He's been trying
to get that outlawed for a while. I think that's
a noble cause if you explain it out loud. I
don't think there's anybody that would disagree with outlawing that,
and yet for some reason it continues. That's a grift.
(23:56):
It's been around for a little while. Now, what's another grift?
NNGO non government organizations the government liberals that control our
government Democrat. You know, the Biden administration for the past
four years have been able to do things with your
tax money that technically are outside the realm of what
the government can legally do because they use organizations like
(24:17):
USAID to give that money to nonprofit groups, and those
nonprofit groups do things that you wouldn't want them. Well, well,
we can't do anything about it. It's not a government department.
We gave them the money, it's their money. Now that's
a grift. Here's another grift. There's a new kind of
grift for wanna be politicians. In fact, I don't even
think they want to be politicians. You can pretend to
(24:39):
run for office. You could pretend to run for office.
And here's how it works. Find a place in the
country where there's an elected official that's out unpopular in
the rest of the country. Dan Crenshaw is the perfect
example of this. Dan Crenshaw, a moderate liberal Republican, has
voted for a lot of things that you, as a
conservative or a libertarian or a popular probably don't agree with.
(25:01):
Five hundred million dollars COVID vaccine database, send more money
to Ukraine. You know, there's things you would not agree
with if you're a small government conservative, tea party guy,
whatever it is you are that's brought you.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
To talk radio.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Obviously he's unpopular if you live outside of his district
District two, you don't realize that in his district he's
actually not that unpopular. Weirdly, strangely, he gets re elected
very easily every time. So what people are doing now
is they're pretending to run for office on social media,
building up clout, getting more followers, even sometimes collecting money
(25:38):
or raising donations or not doing that, making it seem
like they're doing that all the while they have no
interest in running for office. They just make single simp
middle aged men in Washington State think, and often it's
a female candidate, that this is the person that's going
to unseat Dan Crenshaw, and it seems to work. It's
a great way to build up your follower account while
(25:59):
you pretend to run for office. On the line right now,
a guy that a lot of people in political media
don't like, but I like him because he's a rabble rouser.
I'm a troll, so I always like other trolls. Tony
Ortiz is here from Current Revolt dot com. Tony, do
you think I explained that grift correctly? Is there a
better way to explain it?
Speaker 6 (26:18):
No? And it's a popular grift right because you get
these micro celebrities Twitter, Twitter slash x has beaten been
the greatest thing that happen to content creators and media
personalities like you and I because there's a great way
to get quick news and hear.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
What's going on.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
But it's also created this micro celebrity, this micro political
celebrity who can get by simply on jokes with and
their looks.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
And we have that with this Valentina Gomez person.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Right, Yeah, Valentina Gomez. Right, She's this young woman in
her twenties. As far as I could tell, she lives
in New Jersey. She seems to be a rich kid.
She's from Colombia. She has this thick Colombian act, and
she's a carpetbagger.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Am I understanding this correctly?
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:05):
She placed six in a eight way race for Missouri
Secretary of State in twenty twenty four, so last last year.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
But you know, she her whole stick.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Is gatting on on social media and recording a video
of herself generally dressed, you know, in a weird way
with a gun or something, saying some bad words, dropping
f bombs and talking about like owning the libs right.
And I refer to this as as like a media slop,
like consumed like maga slop, in the sense that it's
(27:39):
just like it doesn't really have any like actual meat
to it. It's just like pitching a generic like right
wing kind of like a thing, and people consume it.
They think it's like the greatest thing in the world.
So she produces this slop that goes online and people,
some people there's a demographic of people that love it,
and it's general like horny old men, and they're in
(28:03):
their comments talking about how beautiful and how amazing she is.
But she has no real like actual electability and know
nothing that makes her electable. But now she's announced that
she's coming to Texas and she's going to attempt to
primary Dan Crenshaw.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
She posted on social media that she was going to
primary him. As far as I could tell, she has
not ran for office yet. And then after saying that,
she posted about how she was finally.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Going to try what a burger?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
And somehow she found her way to the flora of
the house, where she filmed a video, created content, and
made a social media post saying, and this is I'm
paraphrasing here, saying essentially the equivalent of Texas, I now
own you.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Who led her onto the floor of the house?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Scott Braddock of Corn Report reported that it was Representative
Republican representator jam Luzano who showed her around the Texas
capital and let her in right and people were wondering
where she came from, and even Brisco Caine kind of
posted something and was like, where's this lady from? And
she she kind of posted a rather slightly insulting remark
back to him, which is crazy because brisk Ocaine is
(29:07):
like a phenomenal conservative rep right and yeah, nobody wants her,
and that's kind of brought like you have like the
far left of the far right, and they all really
equally dislike her and kind of brought them together in
this like mutual hate of this woman because she's just
so awful, you know. But we were asking around, like
(29:27):
what's her actual plans and she's filing right, and I
spoke to somebody who's very very very close to her,
and they told me that she had initially planned on
taking this run very seriously, but now she's kind of
just saidest and she's not going to actually run. And
this whole thing is just a what you called and
(29:47):
what it is a grift for maybe your readers or
your listeners that don't that don't know. On Twitter on
x you can make money off of the amount of
views and impressions you get, the actions you get with
other viewers. So if you post something very bombastic and
very incinerary, it gets a lot of traction and that
(30:08):
equates to a lot of money. So that's kind of
what she's doing here.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
All right, So there's another candidate challenging Dan Crenshaw. And
this woman did actually fill out the paperwork and read
if I'm not mistaken, but weirdly, she uses a fake name,
at least that's my understanding of that. There's a woman
that's gonna primary Dan Crenshaw. Her name's Chrissy Ann, but
Chrissy Anne is not her real name. Am I understanding
(30:32):
this correctly?
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Right? It's Ava Zlari, right, And it's so funny because
she's a public figure now and she she gets really
upset when you start talking about who she is or
where she comes from. She starts claiming, throwing these claims
of doxing. I think she even accused you of doxing,
which is absurd. But she's she's announced that she's gonna run,
and people were rightfully suspicious of this announcement, right because
(30:58):
her her profile is filled with a bunch of AI
generated images, going even further her own profile pictures AI.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
It looks like AI and hands that at minimum, right.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Because people found videos of her speaking on her YouTube
page and they look almost nothing like her. And she's
announced her run and she's she's not originally from Texas.
Allegedly she's she used a po box to file. She's
only lived in the district for six years. And you know,
somebody found recently that she was very and she was
(31:32):
anti Trump at one point, right, So people are suspicious
and this person who who's thrown herself on the national
stage is now like very cautious about her privacy. And
it's like you have to pick one, right, you have
to pick one or the other.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
She claims she runs a nonprofit group called the Stop
Abuse Organization. I can't find any proof that this charity
actually exists. If you ask her on social media what
it is, she claims it's a charity that will help
protect people from doxing, which just coincidentally, Tony is the
thing she's accusing us of doing. When we ask why
(32:06):
her form she filled out to register as a candidate,
says she has a California area code and she doesn't
live in her district. I mean that to me, that
red flags all over the place. What am I missing?
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Yeah, you know, it doesn't take much to nowadays, doesn't
take much to like start a company or a nonprofit.
I mean, you can get off, we can get off
the radio right now and go file people starting a
nonprofit and be ready to go by the end of
the week.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
Right, and then I could be the president. You could
be the vice president.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
We can go around on a media tour talking about
we're the vice president and president of some whatever organization
we want to say we fund. So this, this, this
claim of hers that she runs a nonprofit isn't impressive
by any means. And the fact that she claims that
the reason for it is to protect people against doxing
(32:54):
and then goes and falsely accuses you of doxing her
shows me maybe she's not the expert in the things
that she claims she's running, right, So, how would that
be very absurd?
Speaker 3 (33:03):
How would that even work?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
How would a nonprofit group protect people from doxing?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
What would they do?
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Who knows? I don't know, And I don't think she
even knows, right, I don't. I don't think anybody's even
figured out what she does for a living. I have
I know they maybe she's a realtor some things like
most political candidates. But uh, you know, but people are
rightfully suspicious of this run. And unfortunately, you know, I
am not a personal personally a big fan of Dan Kretschoff.
(33:32):
I don't think he's conservative enough. But so far we've
got this, this AI enhanced lady, and then we've got
this Colombian training looking women that are running for office.
So not a lot of good picks in the pool
of candidates right now.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Even Grock, even groc elon Musk's AI software built into X,
is skeptical of Chrissy Anne. I asked the question who
is Ava Zallari to Groc, and Groc said, there are
mentions on X of her previous claims being a nurse
and a realtor, But searches for her nursing license under
both Ava Zlari and Chrissy and Caesar, another name associated
(34:07):
with her in California and in Texas have not yielded
any results. So she doesn't have a license to be
a nurse or a realtor. Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (34:17):
Well, I have no idea, you know, I didn't. I
didn't speak with her briefly. It didn't ask her specifically
those questions. But but who knows who knows? You know?
And she's so she seems so sketchy, and she wants
to be so private, but yet she's running for a
big feat like this. It's just it's conflicting.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
For sure, You're very good at finding old records, and
Tony is awesome at this.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Tony was the guy.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Say what you will about Tony Ortiz, but he was
the guy that figured out that our election voting system
was so flawed that if you if you had enough information,
just a little bit of information about who someone was
and where they voted, you could figure out what was
on their ballot. And this was a huge scandal in
the state of Texas that was discovered last year, right
before the And have they even done anything about that yet, Tony.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Yeah, I remember. We published so for for those who
don't know or who are listening, we published there was
the former the former chair of the Republican Party, Matt
Renaldy had claimed that he had voted for Donald Trump,
and somebody had called his bluff on it, and we
were able to we were provided a copy of his
full ballot, alleged full ballot, and he is alleged to
(35:27):
a vote for Ron DeSantis. Actually so he did allegedly
and you see me using allegedly a lot lie about
his vote for Donald Trump, and he never denied that
it was his ballot. It never came out and said
that it wasn't, but he was very, very very upset
about it, and it was so it was such an
issue that now there's a bill that's been proposed to
(35:49):
make what we did a felony because it wasn't against
the law. We published his ballot and that wasn't nobody's
ever done that before. But now they're trying to make
it a felony. So yeah, very big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
But isn't there.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Already a bill?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Someone showed me this the other day when I was
accused of dosing this woman, because I asked, why would
why it looked like she didn't live in the district
where she was running. Isn't there already a bill that
protects citizen journalism and citizens from doing research on candidate?
I mean, how can both of those things exist?
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Well, I mean, there's there's so many like nuances there
with what you're allowed to publish and what not to
right like it's you can get in trouble for publishing
private health data right like protected under hit the laws
and things like that. So it's just, uh, you know,
I think, and I kind of agree with this year,
your ballot really probably should probably should be the most
sacred thing right in how you vote, because if you're
(36:39):
able to pull somebody's ballot and see how they voted,
that could the ramifications for that are just huge in
many different ways.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
And one more question for you, going back to what
we were just talking about, have you found any record
that this Chrissy Anne avaz Alari character that she's ever
Have you found any proof that she's ever voted in
a previous election.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
I ran her voting records through the database, and I
found no records that she's that she one that she has,
she's registered to vote in the state of Texas, and
definitely nothing that showed that she had voted. When I
asked her about this, she claimed that it was because
she's a victim of domestic violence and that all her
(37:18):
records are scrubbed from any kind of record keeping. I'm
not familiar with something like that. That may be the case,
but to my knowledge that I don't know, at least
my experience, I should say, I've never run across that situation.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Can you have your voting records scrubbed if you're a
victim of domestic violence?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I'm asking Ai that question right now. I don't see. No, no,
that does not check out, dude, that that does not.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Be an issue, right, Yeah, it would be an issue
in the sense that you still should be able to
confirm that somebody's registered to vote.
Speaker 7 (37:54):
I mean that's like, I don't know, it just seems
like common sense.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
But you know, I assume this woman, like most of
these candidates, are running, and they're doing it for attention
and to build their follower base and to get paid
on Twitter. I love the fact that Twitter pays out
people for their content, right, I'm one of those I
get about I get about sixty bucks a month off
of Twitter from the content we produced.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Hey, that's that's.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
It is. Or take a gas nowadays, sure, but there
are some people that make two to three thousand dollars
a month off of posting on Twitter, and the best
way to do that is to post really insane stupid
things on the Internet or to put a turnout slop.
And Valentina Gomez is definitely one of those types of
(38:43):
persons that produces slop. And you know, maybe aves Lari
or whatever she calls herself today is one of those
as well.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Bro, Anybody that listens to this radio show or has
ever searched for my name and the name Dan Crenshaw
on social media knows I dislike the guy. I was
one of the first to call him out. I was
one of the first to publicly criticize him in the
media here in Southeast Texas. And yet, weirdly, because I
pointed out that his primary opponents are also suspicious, shady,
and that they basically suck. I've been now accused of
(39:11):
working for the guy, Tony, what's the stupidest thing you've
ever been accused of for the crime of doing journalism.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Somebody once accused me of being a leftist, which is
the most insane thing because the right, some people in
the right thing of too far right. And then somebody
accused me of being.
Speaker 7 (39:28):
A leftist the other day.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I've been accused of being funded by Soros, by Tim Dunn,
by Dave Feeling, and so it kind of changes week
by week about who's who's potentially funding me.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I already told Tony Artist he can't expose me because
most of my listeners already know that I smoke weed
when I go on a ski trip, and I do
sometimes date amorous women.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
Yeah, I mean, I think you have attention. You like
the blonde women. I think it is your preferred type.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I get it, Tony, Tony Ortiz Current Revolt dot Com.
We probably should have stopped this interview five minutes. Tony,
do me a favorite, bro. Never change man, keep it.
The fact that you piss off liberals and conservatives tells
me you're right over the target.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Dude.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Thanks man, appreciate you. Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Current Revolt dot com. You can subscribe to it. He's
got a substack. Follow him on Exit's at the least
you could do.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I'm Kenny Webster. I love you all.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Thank you so much for listening. We'll be back bright
and early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought
a radio for. You are listening to the Pursuit of
Happy Miss Radio. Tell the government to kiss your ass
when you listen to this show.
Jack gannon government sucks. Suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Or a suit
of happiness us on your radio toil just as cheeseburgers
a liberty fries.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Today is National Battery Day, so stock up Eagles fans.
The cowboys will be in town before you know it.
Thanks for turning on your radio.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm me, you're you. We got a big show for
you this afternoon. Who's gonna be here? Thanks for asking.
I know you didn't ask, but State Senator Mays Middleton
is stopping buy in a few minutes. He is such
an impressive character. I really like Maze. I gotta tell you.
He's a young conservative. He's smart ideologically, I find myself
(00:49):
aligned with him on almost everything. He's very ambitious. I
get the impression Maze Middleton is gonna be around for
a while. I don't know, but he's I don't know
what the future holds for any but if I had
to pick somebody from the young freshman crew of freshman,
he's been around. You know, he's been around a few
years at this point. Of these young lawmakers, young statesmen
(01:10):
in the state of Texas. I gotta think he's somebody
that I hope has a future here. And for the record,
I hold the right and reserve the right to change
my mind about that later on, like with anybody, you know,
Dan Crenshaw. Sometimes sometimes sometimes you like a candidate and
then you just change your mind about him. Also stopping
by at the end of the show, Current Revolts Tony
Ortiz is going to be here. One of the most
(01:31):
hated men in Texas political media.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
He's a friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Some people think his news reporting is a little too tabloidy,
but this is talk radio.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
We can tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We can tell you the dirt and the gossip on
the people we send to Austin in Washington, DC. Why
shouldn't we hang around for that? Lots coming up before
we get to any of it. Can we talk about borders?
Our Tom Holman for just a minute Breitbart dot Com
today reporting on how he says illegal daily encounters are
down to two twenty nine a day from eleven thousand.
I'm gonna rep heat that because I think it bears repeating.
(02:01):
There were eleven thousand illegal immigrants coming over the border
a day. Now there's about two hundred and twenty nine.
You know why right, Because what we're doing is working.
What we are doing is actually producing results. We sent
an administration to Washington, d C. To do a specific job,
and they're doing it. In the last twenty four hours,
(02:23):
he said this yesterday. In the last twenty four hours,
the US border patrol encounter two hundred twenty nine aliens
across the US the entire southern border. That is down
from eleven thousand a day from a year ago.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But bup up up.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But but Joe, Biden and Kamala and the corporate media
told me this wasn't possible unless we passed a massive
border security bill that would allow thirty five illegal aliens
into our country every week. But but, but, but Joe
and Kamala and the corporate media told me Trump killed
that bill because he wanted to keep the problem alive
for political gain. But but b b bu bu up, Orange Man,
(02:56):
bad redhead Evil. I have one question about these two
hundred and twenty nine illegal encounters. Is it possible they
were self deportees going the other way? In related news,
Team Trump has put a stop to all these illegal
aliens invading our country. A shelter for illegals is closing
down in San Diego. No more twenty million dollars for
(03:18):
you in that sad all.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So, the San Diego NGO says its shelter has had
not a single migrant walked through its door since President
Trump took office. They're now closing that shelter down and
laying off more than one hundred employees, they say because
of Trump's border policies and is ending of their federal funding.
Jewish Family Service San Diego has been running a rapid
response migrant shelter that offered migrants care packages, food, legal services,
(03:44):
travel coordination, medical screenings, and immigration case management. FEMA records
show they had been allocated twenty two million dollars last year,
but the NGO says they've received none of that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Now, Nan, I'm gonna pause it right here real quick.
I went to I go to Catholic church.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You guys know that, right, And my Catholic church, the
Archdiocese of Galveston Houston, apparently was getting a lot of
money in ena from the federal government. Why why were
they getting so much money from the federal Why does
my church need money from the federal government. The latest
news is that apparently they had to lay off a
(04:22):
handful of people, what like one hundred plus employees because
of the cuts to the Galveston Archdioces. The Galveston Houston
Archdioces over more than one hundred employees. I asked about
this at church and I was told to write an
email and they would get back to me. Ken Webster's
Pursuit of Happiness a radio show that's just as good
(04:45):
when you're driving around Soba as it is when you're
drunk at home.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Okay, So.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Apparently the inventor of ntela has died. Friends say he's
spread himself a bit too thin. No, no, I'm not proud
of it either, but at least you're paying attention. Hi,
welcome back from break everybody. Kenny Webster here. I like
a lot of you. I watch what happens in Austin
and it's frustrating when you realize that we pay lawmakers,
and I know state lawmakers don't get paid a ton
(05:13):
of money, but we do fund them and their staff
and their offices. And you see how dysfunctional the House
is compared to how much gets done in the state Senate.
Isn't it incredible? It really is the opposite of what
you would expect it to be. You would assume the
State Senate would be the place where there'd be a
lot of lobbyists and the swamp would exist. No, it
turns out is the opposite. That's the place where they
(05:35):
get things done often they have a very conservative agenda.
And then meanwhile, the other end of the same building,
you've got the House where apparently Rhino Republicans collaborate with
mainstream Democrats, and like, what's even the point of being
a conservative in this state? I hate it. That's why
I have said ever since Elon Musk and Donald Trump
(05:55):
and JD. Vance took over, wouldn't it be cool if
there was a Texas doge.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
We've made this point many times. We need this.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Turns out somebody else had the same idea. One of
the people that we send to Austin who we do trust,
State Senator Mays Middleton, a young conservative. I mean, I
would say this guy is one of the on the
short list of people that I think is doing a
fantastic job in Austin right now. And well, believe it
or not, he's on the line. State Senator Mays Middleton,
Texas doge. This could be a thing.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Hey, Yeah, Kenny, appreciate you having me on today. You know,
this is number one on the Texas DOJ agenda is
banning taxpayer funded lobbying, where at least eighty million dollars
a year of your property tax dollars are being diverted
to the pockets of liberal Austin lobbyists that are lobbying
(06:44):
against you as a taxpayer, and lobbying against parents as well,
and almost always lobbying against the conservative values that we
had this huge mandate on in this election. And you know,
in a lot of ways, taxpayer funded lobbying is actually
worse than what you've seen with USAID.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, it's unbelievable to me. I can't even believe that's
a real thing. How is it possible that tax dollars
can be used to lobby for liberal causes in what's
considered to be the biggest conservative state in the country.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I mean, how does that even happen.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Well, I've been fighting to pass this ban ever since
I first got elected. It is the first bill that
I always filed, the ban on taxpayer funded lobbying, and
it's going to be Senate built nineteen, you know, Senate
priority bill. This legislative session. It's basically where your local
tax dollars are diverted to woke Austin lobbyists. I mean
you look at some of the things that they're lobbying for.
(07:38):
They're lobbying against election integrity, they're lobbying its border security,
they're lobbying its property tax relief. They're even lobbying actually
against stopping boys from going to girls' restrooms, locker rooms
and showers, which was called the Women's Privacy Act. There
against that, and they even invited transgender stud and send
(08:00):
to train school board members on gender pronouns. And this
is what your tax dollars are being spent on, and
it's got to end.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, that's incredible to me.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So, like you pointed out, you've proposed this bill before,
and you know there's a lot of bills flooding around
in Austin. Why didn't this pass before? I would assume
this was a popular idea. I've never heard anybody say otherwise.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Well, it's failed in the House three times now. My
first session in the Texas House actually got it to
the floor. It got fifty eight votes on the Texas
House floor. And the moment that that bill, this bill
banning taxpayer funded lobbying failed the gallery. You know, this
is the Austin Swamp's voice here cheered, And so look
(08:44):
what this bill does is it pulls the plug to
drain the Austin swamp. This fundamentally changes how Austin works
because right now you're basically paying to post things you
believe in your property tax dollars. And it's not fair speech.
You know, if you don't like bud light, don't buy
bud Light. If you don't like what Target stands for,
(09:05):
don't go to Target. But but if you don't like
what say your school board, city council, or commissioner's court
is lobbying on, quit paying your property taxes. And what
happens someone shows up with a badge and a gun
to take your property. So it's for speech at the
end of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, I love that idea. Texas dowed is such a
good idea. It's one more example of things that I
would hope the Texas Republican Party could be inspired by
what's happening in you know, this new administration in Washington,
d C. Another one, and I know you you probably
see this right from your backyard. Being a lawmaker from
South to Houston, Gulf of America. Maze, how cool is this?
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I love it?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I love it. You know that bill has been filed
in the House by Briscoe Caine, and I wholeheartedly support it.
We're going to hope to get that into law this session.
You know, it's part of Donald Donald Trump's agenda to
put America first.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, it's a very cool thing, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So another thing that just streamed right through this, and
we wonder what's going to happen when it gets to
the House is school choice. So many people look at
these headlines week after week, Senator Middleton teachers on probation
for admitting to having sex with students. I'm looking at
a story about it right now. Happen in round Rock,
happen in bass Drop, happens in Keller, It's happening all
(10:18):
over the state. I can't rap my mind. It's such
a frequent thing. It's like food stamp fraud. It happens
so commonly people don't even it's not even interesting anymore
when you see it in the news. And yet with
all these different examples of public school teachers clearly doing unethical,
not just unethical, immoral, often illegal things with their students.
(10:39):
How is anyone resistant, how is anyone against school choice?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Why?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Why is this a problem and why does it always
seem like in the case of a state representative jeen Wu,
for example, the very people that are against it not
only went to private school, but send their own kids
to private school.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yeah, there's a lot of hypocrisy in opposing school choice
where some of the biggest opponents have sent their children
to private school themselves. And you know, it's like choices
for me, but not for thee you know, it's kind
of their response. And you know, the biggest opponent actually
to school choice is a tax pay funded lobbyists. So
I noticed that, you know, in twenty seventeen. It's how
(11:16):
I first really became aware how bad this problem was.
Is like I would see a mom, single mom and committee.
You know, she say, I support the school choice bill.
I need this choice for my child. I can't afford
private school tuition, I need special needs services. Please give
me this chance. She's taken the day off work, she
hadn't been paid to be there, and then right after
she testifies, Tasby sends a lobbyist to testify against her
(11:39):
with her own dollars and school choice is really simple
because right now only government decides how those school tax
dollars are spent. We're just saying we want parents to
get to decide how those education dollars are spent, because
who knows a child better than a mom or dad,
And we're trusting moms and dads of each you needed
(12:00):
to choose. And unfortunate it's a tax for funded lobbyists
that are out there spreading lives about this bill and
saying they do not trust the moms and dads in
our communities and the ones that live on ther street
to choose what's best for their sewn or their daughter.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, it's kind of incredible to me.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You know, you're you're you're young, you're one, You're considered
to be one of the most conservative people in state centered.
I know you that know that, but maybe our radio
listeners don't. Not only is mas Middleton one of the
youngest people in state legislature, he's also one of the
most conservative. And when Mays and I were in our twenties,
when we were teenagers, black Democrats loved school choice. They
(12:36):
when it was when it was a brand new, fresh idea.
They thought this was brilliant, the idea of letting, you know,
poor inner city kids go to a better school district
than the one that they had by default. Somehow, weirdly enough,
over the last decade fifteen years, they changed their.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Position on that. Why is that?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Why?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Why is it something that they overwhelmingly thought would have
been great for single moms families of single mothers in
their community suddenly is a bad idea?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
What changed their mind?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Well, it doesn't make any sense, but I mean that's
what the unions and taxpayer funded lobbying groups are pushing.
You know, they're the ones that are I guess, threatening election,
you know, opposition for people that support school choice. And look,
it's easy to stand with the parents. We know who's
going to benefit the most from this program. It's mainly
going to be low income families. Hispanic African American families
(13:28):
are going to benefit the most from a school choice
program because these are famis that don't have the chance
right now because they can't afford to go to private
school or homeschool, or special needs therapies or tutoring or
all the things that you can do with Senate Bill too.
And by the way, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have
endorsed s in it bill too.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Oh, I saw that. I love that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah, Elon. Elon put out a statement. We got a
pass school choice in Texas.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You know, and it's amazing to me that this was
held up last time. Every Republican said they thought it
was great. Governors behind it, you know, Maze. I don't
always agree with Governor Abbott, especially during the pandemic, but
on this thing, boy, I see eye to eye with him.
If there's any Obviously, the Democrats might be a speed
bomb on this thing.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
But whenever you.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Hear critics talk about the school choice bill in Texas,
it's always filled with disinformation. They talk about, oh, they're
going to cut funding to public schools last session, didn't
you guys increase funding to public schools for the school
choice bill. They say it'll be bad for homeschool kids.
I don't see how it could be. But I don't
know what could hold it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Up this time.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Well, so the good news is a lot of those
problems were resolved in the primary this past year. So,
you know, conservatives were very successful, especially in the House
Republican primaries, and a lot of the you know, more
liberal Republican state rep that were not living up to
their conservative promises were voted out. You know, that's how
(14:54):
I got elected to the House. Knocked on six thousand doors,
ran against a Joe Strauss supported Liberal Republican in comment
that was not living up to his conservative promises, beat
him in the primary. And that's what elections are about.
It's about accountability. You need to do what you said
you were going to do, and we're fed up with it.
I mean, you're looking at this on the federal level too,
(15:15):
every level of government, there is a mandate for boldness,
a boldness of conservative values. People are tired of waiting.
They want action now. And of course we've seen the
wonderful things Nonald Trump is doing on the federal level,
but that doesn't stop there. You know, that applies to
the state, That applies to local government as well. We
need boldness our decisions and government to go fight for
(15:38):
what we said we were going to do.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I love it. Hey, one more question for you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
You and I spoke briefly about this off the air,
but one of the ideas we had on this radio
show not long ago, when we were reacting to the
news about hospital workers and public school employees promising that
they would protect illegal immigrants from ICE if ICE agents
came to their instant, their taxpayer funded, publicly funded institute.
Jusians even a member of Trende arraguar a criminal illegal immigrant.
(16:04):
You see these videos from TikTok of far left activists
masquerading as as public employees saying they would protect illegal immigrants.
And I had pointed out these people should be stripped
of their occupational licenses. State Representative Steve Toth and Brisco
Caine thought that was a good enough idea. They're going
to propose the Pursuit of Happiness Act if this makes
it to the Senate, and mays who knows if it will,
(16:25):
but if it does, would you be a yes vote
on that?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Yes, it's a great bill. You know, it is unacceptable
that we're seeing local government often paid for it with
your property tax dollars, opposing President Trump's agendas to secure
our border, and he's starting to deport you know, all
of these violent illegal aliens, and these are things that
should have happened already. I mean, in our community, people
(16:50):
have died because of this. You know, we've seen so
many situations where people have been hurt and killed because
it's catcher release has been the policy under Joe Biden
for four years, and we're all suffering because of that.
So it is wrong, it's unethical, and is illegal for
local government to get in the way of Donald Trump's
agenda to secure our border. And the state is going
(17:11):
to step in and continue to step in to make
sure that we help him fulfill that mission and Tom
Homan fulfill that mission to secure our border, and make
sure that you know, illegal immigrants or returned to their
country of origin, their home country. And certainly someone that's
licensed by the State of Texas should not be complicit
in stopping you know, ice and border patrol and fulfilling
(17:33):
that mission. And our US attorneys and US marshals.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
All right, I always save the hardest question for last
whenever I'm talking to a state lawmaker. If you just
tune in on the radio, this is Senator May's Middleton,
Texas State Senator District eleven. Senator Middleton in District eleven.
Where is the best place to get barbecue? Where's the
best place to get a taco?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
That that is a trick question, because he's got to
make me a fish. I personally love Queen's Barbecue. It's
on Broadway on the Island. Awesome, wonderful. They are one
of the best lots of great places to get a taco.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Actually I had my election n a watch party at
Old Tempo. They're in Webster on forty five, So that
place has brought me good luck. You know, had an
anti school choice person running against me. They got fifteen
percent of the vote, So yeah, I love it. I
thought that was a pretty pretty good outcome.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I always say breakfast tacos are supposed to be the
easiest thing. Anybody can scramble eggs and put cheese and
bacon on it. But there's something about the tortilla at
El Tiempo. It's probably my favorite breakfast taco. Folks follow
May's Middleton May's underscore Middleton on x on social media.
You'll be glad that we did, and I that you did,
and we'll keep you guys up to date on what
(18:54):
is going on with his law, with his bill to
stop people from using tax payer money for lobbying. It
seems so obvious. Senator Middleton, thanks for your time this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Hey, Kenny, thank you for having me on today. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
This is pursuit of happiness radio.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
All right, so Uber, did you ever take Uber? You
Uber left for you. I'll use whichever one costs less.
It's not always the same. Did you know that when
you you could check the raid on your phone? And
sometimes there's a twenty dollars difference to get to and
from the airport. That's a pretty big deal, right, twenty bucks?
I think so uber is accusing door Dash of threatening
restaurants unless they agree to an exclusive partnership.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Everyone knows that forcing someone to be exclusive is only
cool when women do it. I'm kidding, hey, like a
lot of you, I just I canrry my mind around
the Luigi Mangione thing. Isn't it odd how many people
out there are praising this guy for murdering someone.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I mean purportedly.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
He's you know, innocent until proven guilty, YadA, YadA, YadA.
It really seems like he's guilty, right, and his his
supporters certainly don't think he's innocent.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
They think he's guilty.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
They want to make sure that he has the best
life possible in prison or wherever he's going. So there's
this fund online to pay for his attorneys and people
have made big donations to it, you know, not surprisingly
CNN supported it, CNN promoted it. But I'm getting ahead
of myself here. I do wonder and I've asked this
question before, but I'll ask it again. If he has
(20:26):
found guilty of terrorism, terrorism, and you're one of the
people on social media that was praising him, promoting him,
raising money for his legal defense fund, did you break
the law? You know, you're not supposed to go out
and promote ISIS. I know this is kind of a
gray area for free speech advocates and stuff like that,
(20:46):
but it certainly seems like it would be a violation
of Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube terms of service, doesn't it
at the very least? Wait, you're promoting a terrorist on
social media. I can't. I can't do that. I mean,
I wouldn't want to. But if somebody was promoting ISIS
or the neo Nazis on social media, odds are it
would probably get censored. Even on X, I think they'd
(21:08):
be censored and then they would be investigated by.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The FBI anyway.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Right prior to com Today reporting on how CNN's Kaitlyn Collins,
do you remember her Kaitlyn Collins is the woman on
CNN who did the town hall with Trump that accidentally
made it more popular back in twenty twenty three. She
is now defending herself for promoting the Luigi Mangioni legal
defense fund. She says she didn't promote it. She posted
(21:36):
a link that promoted it, and that's different. It's not
the same thing as promoting it. But she did delete
the link. Mangioni, of course, the accused left wing assassin
charge with gunning down United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in
cold blood. Collins inexplicably tweeted out Luigi Mangoni's defense fund information.
(21:56):
Mangioni is not part of Collins's beach. She doesn't cover him.
It's not the kind of news story she covers the
White House. She doesn't cover Luigi mangione and a good
faith search could not find if she found newsworthy web
addresses for the many parties who sought to defend January
sixth defendants. But she says this was newsworthy, so and
her tweet contained no context, no reporting. She simply announced
(22:19):
the following She said, Luigi Mangioni's legal defense team has
launched a new website today and that she says it's newsworthy.
She's not promoting it, it's just newsworthy. And that might
be newsworthy, But then why add the link? Where's the journalism?
Where's the who?
Speaker 7 (22:32):
What?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
When?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Why? How?
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Where?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
She was criticized for doing it. Then she deleted the
link and claimed a New York Post story about her
promoting a legal defense fund wasn't real. But it really
seems real. If Collins had a history of tweeting out
defense websites, or if Mangione was part of her news
reporting beat, this would make sense. Had she added some
(22:55):
journalism to the tweet, it might have made sense. None
of that happened. She obviously deleted the tweet because she
could not defend it. CNN think about this today. This
week CNN promoted a legal defense website for an accused terrorist,
and we're all just supposed to ignore that. Yeah, let's
get straight to discussion. Were here to talk about something
(23:18):
about politics and government and nullice, hit and coruption this
show hit?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Ain't you average this podcast?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
You gotta get it?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
It's own?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
We can this just push some happiness.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
We have discovered, we have discovered a new kind of grift.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
There's so many.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Earlier in the show, State Senator Mais Middleton, good guy,
calls in to talk about this grift using taxpayer money
to lobby. This isn't a new idea. He's been trying
to get that outlawed for a while. I think that's
a noble cause if you explain it out loud. I
don't think there's anybody that would disagree with outlawing that,
and yet for some reason it continues. That's a grift.
(23:56):
It's been around for a little while. Now, what's another grift?
NNGO non government organizations the government liberals that control our
government Democrat. You know, the Biden administration for the past
four years have been able to do things with your
tax money that technically are outside the realm of what
the government can legally do because they use organizations like
(24:17):
USAID to give that money to nonprofit groups, and those
nonprofit groups do things that you wouldn't want them. Well, well,
we can't do anything about it. It's not a government department.
We gave them the money, it's their money. Now that's
a grift. Here's another grift. There's a new kind of
grift for wanna be politicians. In fact, I don't even
think they want to be politicians. You can pretend to
(24:39):
run for office. You could pretend to run for office.
And here's how it works. Find a place in the
country where there's an elected official that's out unpopular in
the rest of the country. Dan Crenshaw is the perfect
example of this. Dan Crenshaw, a moderate liberal Republican, has
voted for a lot of things that you, as a
conservative or a libertarian or a popular probably don't agree with.
(25:01):
Five hundred million dollars COVID vaccine database, send more money
to Ukraine. You know, there's things you would not agree
with if you're a small government conservative, tea party guy,
whatever it is you are that's brought you.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
To talk radio.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Obviously he's unpopular if you live outside of his district
District two, you don't realize that in his district he's
actually not that unpopular. Weirdly, strangely, he gets re elected
very easily every time. So what people are doing now
is they're pretending to run for office on social media,
building up clout, getting more followers, even sometimes collecting money
(25:38):
or raising donations or not doing that, making it seem
like they're doing that all the while they have no
interest in running for office. They just make single simp
middle aged men in Washington State think, and often it's
a female candidate, that this is the person that's going
to unseat Dan Crenshaw, and it seems to work. It's
a great way to build up your follower account while
(25:59):
you pretend to run for office. On the line right now,
a guy that a lot of people in political media
don't like, but I like him because he's a rabble rouser.
I'm a troll, so I always like other trolls. Tony
Ortiz is here from Current Revolt dot com. Tony, do
you think I explained that grift correctly? Is there a
better way to explain it?
Speaker 6 (26:18):
No? And it's a popular grift right because you get
these micro celebrities Twitter, Twitter slash x has beaten been
the greatest thing that happen to content creators and media
personalities like you and I because there's a great way
to get quick news and hear.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
What's going on.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
But it's also created this micro celebrity, this micro political
celebrity who can get by simply on jokes with and
their looks.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
And we have that with this Valentina Gomez person.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Right, Yeah, Valentina Gomez. Right, She's this young woman in
her twenties. As far as I could tell, she lives
in New Jersey. She seems to be a rich kid.
She's from Colombia. She has this thick Colombian act, and
she's a carpetbagger.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Am I understanding this correctly?
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:05):
She placed six in a eight way race for Missouri
Secretary of State in twenty twenty four, so last last year.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
But you know, she her whole stick.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Is gatting on on social media and recording a video
of herself generally dressed, you know, in a weird way
with a gun or something, saying some bad words, dropping
f bombs and talking about like owning the libs right.
And I refer to this as as like a media slop,
like consumed like maga slop, in the sense that it's
(27:39):
just like it doesn't really have any like actual meat
to it. It's just like pitching a generic like right
wing kind of like a thing, and people consume it.
They think it's like the greatest thing in the world.
So she produces this slop that goes online and people,
some people there's a demographic of people that love it,
and it's general like horny old men, and they're in
(28:03):
their comments talking about how beautiful and how amazing she is.
But she has no real like actual electability and know
nothing that makes her electable. But now she's announced that
she's coming to Texas and she's going to attempt to
primary Dan Crenshaw.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
She posted on social media that she was going to
primary him. As far as I could tell, she has
not ran for office yet. And then after saying that,
she posted about how she was finally.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Going to try what a burger?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
And somehow she found her way to the flora of
the house, where she filmed a video, created content, and
made a social media post saying, and this is I'm
paraphrasing here, saying essentially the equivalent of Texas, I now
own you.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Who led her onto the floor of the house?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Scott Braddock of Corn Report reported that it was Representative
Republican representator jam Luzano who showed her around the Texas
capital and let her in right and people were wondering
where she came from, and even Brisco Caine kind of
posted something and was like, where's this lady from? And
she she kind of posted a rather slightly insulting remark
back to him, which is crazy because brisk Ocaine is
(29:07):
like a phenomenal conservative rep right and yeah, nobody wants her,
and that's kind of brought like you have like the
far left of the far right, and they all really
equally dislike her and kind of brought them together in
this like mutual hate of this woman because she's just
so awful, you know. But we were asking around, like
(29:27):
what's her actual plans and she's filing right, and I
spoke to somebody who's very very very close to her,
and they told me that she had initially planned on
taking this run very seriously, but now she's kind of
just saidest and she's not going to actually run. And
this whole thing is just a what you called and
(29:47):
what it is a grift for maybe your readers or
your listeners that don't that don't know. On Twitter on
x you can make money off of the amount of
views and impressions you get, the actions you get with
other viewers. So if you post something very bombastic and
very incinerary, it gets a lot of traction and that
(30:08):
equates to a lot of money. So that's kind of
what she's doing here.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
All right, So there's another candidate challenging Dan Crenshaw. And
this woman did actually fill out the paperwork and read
if I'm not mistaken, but weirdly, she uses a fake name,
at least that's my understanding of that. There's a woman
that's gonna primary Dan Crenshaw. Her name's Chrissy Ann, but
Chrissy Anne is not her real name. Am I understanding
(30:32):
this correctly?
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Right? It's Ava Zlari, right, And it's so funny because
she's a public figure now and she she gets really
upset when you start talking about who she is or
where she comes from. She starts claiming, throwing these claims
of doxing. I think she even accused you of doxing,
which is absurd. But she's she's announced that she's gonna run,
and people were rightfully suspicious of this announcement, right because
(30:58):
her her profile is filled with a bunch of AI
generated images, going even further her own profile pictures AI.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
It looks like AI and hands that at minimum, right.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Because people found videos of her speaking on her YouTube
page and they look almost nothing like her. And she's
announced her run and she's she's not originally from Texas.
Allegedly she's she used a po box to file. She's
only lived in the district for six years. And you know,
somebody found recently that she was very and she was
(31:32):
anti Trump at one point, right, So people are suspicious
and this person who who's thrown herself on the national
stage is now like very cautious about her privacy. And
it's like you have to pick one, right, you have
to pick one or the other.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
She claims she runs a nonprofit group called the Stop
Abuse Organization. I can't find any proof that this charity
actually exists. If you ask her on social media what
it is, she claims it's a charity that will help
protect people from doxing, which just coincidentally, Tony is the
thing she's accusing us of doing. When we ask why
(32:06):
her form she filled out to register as a candidate,
says she has a California area code and she doesn't
live in her district. I mean that to me, that
red flags all over the place. What am I missing?
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Yeah, you know, it doesn't take much to nowadays, doesn't
take much to like start a company or a nonprofit.
I mean, you can get off, we can get off
the radio right now and go file people starting a
nonprofit and be ready to go by the end of
the week.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
Right, and then I could be the president. You could
be the vice president.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
We can go around on a media tour talking about
we're the vice president and president of some whatever organization
we want to say we fund. So this, this, this
claim of hers that she runs a nonprofit isn't impressive
by any means. And the fact that she claims that
the reason for it is to protect people against doxing
(32:54):
and then goes and falsely accuses you of doxing her
shows me maybe she's not the expert in the things
that she claims she's running, right, So, how would that
be very absurd?
Speaker 3 (33:03):
How would that even work?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
How would a nonprofit group protect people from doxing?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
What would they do?
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Who knows? I don't know, And I don't think she
even knows, right, I don't. I don't think anybody's even
figured out what she does for a living. I have
I know they maybe she's a realtor some things like
most political candidates. But uh, you know, but people are
rightfully suspicious of this run. And unfortunately, you know, I
am not a personal personally a big fan of Dan Kretschoff.
(33:32):
I don't think he's conservative enough. But so far we've
got this, this AI enhanced lady, and then we've got
this Colombian training looking women that are running for office.
So not a lot of good picks in the pool
of candidates right now.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Even Grock, even groc elon Musk's AI software built into X,
is skeptical of Chrissy Anne. I asked the question who
is Ava Zallari to Groc, and Groc said, there are
mentions on X of her previous claims being a nurse
and a realtor, But searches for her nursing license under
both Ava Zlari and Chrissy and Caesar, another name associated
(34:07):
with her in California and in Texas have not yielded
any results. So she doesn't have a license to be
a nurse or a realtor. Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (34:17):
Well, I have no idea, you know, I didn't. I
didn't speak with her briefly. It didn't ask her specifically
those questions. But but who knows who knows? You know?
And she's so she seems so sketchy, and she wants
to be so private, but yet she's running for a
big feat like this. It's just it's conflicting.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
For sure, You're very good at finding old records, and
Tony is awesome at this.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Tony was the guy.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Say what you will about Tony Ortiz, but he was
the guy that figured out that our election voting system
was so flawed that if you if you had enough information,
just a little bit of information about who someone was
and where they voted, you could figure out what was
on their ballot. And this was a huge scandal in
the state of Texas that was discovered last year, right
before the And have they even done anything about that yet, Tony.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Yeah, I remember. We published so for for those who
don't know or who are listening, we published there was
the former the former chair of the Republican Party, Matt
Renaldy had claimed that he had voted for Donald Trump,
and somebody had called his bluff on it, and we
were able to we were provided a copy of his
full ballot, alleged full ballot, and he is alleged to
(35:27):
a vote for Ron DeSantis. Actually so he did allegedly
and you see me using allegedly a lot lie about
his vote for Donald Trump, and he never denied that
it was his ballot. It never came out and said
that it wasn't, but he was very, very very upset
about it, and it was so it was such an
issue that now there's a bill that's been proposed to
(35:49):
make what we did a felony because it wasn't against
the law. We published his ballot and that wasn't nobody's
ever done that before. But now they're trying to make
it a felony. So yeah, very big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
But isn't there.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Already a bill?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Someone showed me this the other day when I was
accused of dosing this woman, because I asked, why would
why it looked like she didn't live in the district
where she was running. Isn't there already a bill that
protects citizen journalism and citizens from doing research on candidate?
I mean, how can both of those things exist?
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Well, I mean, there's there's so many like nuances there
with what you're allowed to publish and what not to
right like it's you can get in trouble for publishing
private health data right like protected under hit the laws
and things like that. So it's just, uh, you know,
I think, and I kind of agree with this year,
your ballot really probably should probably should be the most
sacred thing right in how you vote, because if you're
(36:39):
able to pull somebody's ballot and see how they voted,
that could the ramifications for that are just huge in
many different ways.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
And one more question for you, going back to what
we were just talking about, have you found any record
that this Chrissy Anne avaz Alari character that she's ever
Have you found any proof that she's ever voted in
a previous election.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
I ran her voting records through the database, and I
found no records that she's that she one that she has,
she's registered to vote in the state of Texas, and
definitely nothing that showed that she had voted. When I
asked her about this, she claimed that it was because
she's a victim of domestic violence and that all her
(37:18):
records are scrubbed from any kind of record keeping. I'm
not familiar with something like that. That may be the case,
but to my knowledge that I don't know, at least
my experience, I should say, I've never run across that situation.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Can you have your voting records scrubbed if you're a
victim of domestic violence?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I'm asking Ai that question right now. I don't see. No, no,
that does not check out, dude, that that does not.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Be an issue, right, Yeah, it would be an issue
in the sense that you still should be able to
confirm that somebody's registered to vote.
Speaker 7 (37:54):
I mean that's like, I don't know, it just seems
like common sense.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
But you know, I assume this woman, like most of
these candidates, are running, and they're doing it for attention
and to build their follower base and to get paid
on Twitter. I love the fact that Twitter pays out
people for their content, right, I'm one of those I
get about I get about sixty bucks a month off
of Twitter from the content we produced.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Hey, that's that's.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
It is. Or take a gas nowadays, sure, but there
are some people that make two to three thousand dollars
a month off of posting on Twitter, and the best
way to do that is to post really insane stupid
things on the Internet or to put a turnout slop.
And Valentina Gomez is definitely one of those types of
(38:43):
persons that produces slop. And you know, maybe aves Lari
or whatever she calls herself today is one of those
as well.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Bro, Anybody that listens to this radio show or has
ever searched for my name and the name Dan Crenshaw
on social media knows I dislike the guy. I was
one of the first to call him out. I was
one of the first to publicly criticize him in the
media here in Southeast Texas. And yet, weirdly, because I
pointed out that his primary opponents are also suspicious, shady,
and that they basically suck. I've been now accused of
(39:11):
working for the guy, Tony, what's the stupidest thing you've
ever been accused of for the crime of doing journalism.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Somebody once accused me of being a leftist, which is
the most insane thing because the right, some people in
the right thing of too far right. And then somebody
accused me of being.
Speaker 7 (39:28):
A leftist the other day.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I've been accused of being funded by Soros, by Tim Dunn,
by Dave Feeling, and so it kind of changes week
by week about who's who's potentially funding me.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I already told Tony Artist he can't expose me because
most of my listeners already know that I smoke weed
when I go on a ski trip, and I do
sometimes date amorous women.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
Yeah, I mean, I think you have attention. You like
the blonde women. I think it is your preferred type.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I get it, Tony, Tony Ortiz Current Revolt dot Com.
We probably should have stopped this interview five minutes. Tony,
do me a favorite, bro. Never change man, keep it.
The fact that you piss off liberals and conservatives tells
me you're right over the target.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Dude.

Thanks man, appreciate you. Thanks for having me on.

Happy Miss Radio. Tell the government to kiss your ass
