All right, breaking these folks, there's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Former First Lady of Massachusetts, Katy Ducacus, has died at
age ninety said, damn COVID vaccine. That's got to be
what I blame, the COVID vaccine. Daniel Turner Apowerthefuture dot com.
He's live in studio right now.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
How about that. It's awesome to be here with you.
Thank you, Dana.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
For those that do not know who you are, and
I assume most of our regular radio listeners do, but
people are watching us on social media right now.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
There are people that follow.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Me on social media that don't know what I do
for a living. So what what the hell are you?
And who are I'm a plumber? Yeah, I plum for
a living. That's exactly what do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Daniel. I run an organization called Power the Future, which
advocates for American energy jobs, particularly those jobs in rural America,
which is where most of our energy jobs are found.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, there's some executives who live here in the great
city of Houston. But the men and women who are
getting their hands dirty and our sweating are in rural communities,
and we try to be their voice in the power
circles of DC and other places.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I know I asked you this before, but did you
watch land Man yet? Have you looked at it on paramount?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I have not, And the only reason why is because
it's just one more service I refuse to subscribe to.
I already have like too many, and I've gotten rid
of most of them. I just I have a moral problem.
I'm older than you. I know that. I just turned
the big five. Oh okay, well you're not that much older,
not that much older, but I am older. TV is
one of those things that in the course of my
(01:55):
life I've been amazed at how it's not only revolutionized,
but how it's gotten progressively work. Yeah, we have a
lot more.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Options, but remember when you could usually just put on
the TV and you'd watch stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Now it's then they got cable, and then cable got commercials,
even though the whole purpose of cable was to not
have commercials. And then they got streaming services, and then
the network's got their own streaming services. And now the
streaming services have commercials, and now every time there's something
on I want to watch, they're like, all right, you
have to download this app and it's three ninety nine
and you have to create a prol and I'm just like,
screw it. I just just the old days of putting
(02:26):
on the TV and watching something.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I feel like, if you're paying for a streaming service
and you're getting ads, you're getting like you're a sucker. Yeah,
if you're paying for the streaming service that's giving you advertisements,
cancel it. What is so great about this thing? If
you're paying for something, I think it should be ad free.
That seems like a no brainer. And that's why TV
used to be free. In the pre cable era.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You bought the TV set itself, right, you plugged it in,
you put up the rabbit ears, and the commercials were
how they made their money. But the TV is so
you never pay for TV.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They got rid of that, and now you have to
pay for T because you have to have cable. And
they're like, well, you can use a digital antenna, but
that's a load of crap. You have to pay for TV.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I wonder how much of liberal media would not exist
were it not for bundled cable packages because think about it, Yeah,
no one watches Bloomberg. Have you ever seen Bloomberg in
your life?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
No Fox Business or CNBC. Most people watch that, right?
Who watches Forbes? Somebody? Not many people? Who's watching CNN.
Who's watching MSNBC? Not a lot of people. But you
pay for it, or at least you did before, back
when everybody just had bundled cable services, and then that change.
Now they're streaming services. But the problem is the streaming
(03:39):
services are kind of doing what the cable companies did.
There's Sling and Hulu and YouTube TV. So once again
you might argue like, no, I'm only paying for the
stuff I want. Well, you're still paying for a lot
of stuff you probably don't watch.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Think about like when you download music, and there are
lots of different services that you can download or listen
to music. They never say, well, if you want to
listen to this song, you also have to listen to
these three others. You can pick and choose. But when
it comes to cable stations, you can be like, well,
I want this one, but I don't want that channel.
It's like, well you have to get it, Like, well,
what if I want that channel? Well, then you got
to get these four other ones. You say, well, where's
(04:13):
the freedom in that? And so I you know, why
don't I watch Landman. I'm just angry at the entire
industry because obviously there's a lot of money to be made.
They've taken away a lot of choice, a lot of freedom.
They've made it incredibly expensive.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'll go back a year and change with my beloved
father who's no longer with us. Something we share members
of the Dead Dad's Club, which is not a great
club to belong to. First game of Notre Dame season
and he was like, I can't find it on NBC.
I was like, it's not, dad, It's on the Peacock Network.
And he's like, well, what's that. I'm like, I'm not
going to explain to my eighty year old dad, Like
(04:47):
all right, get your laptop plug in, Like it just wasn't.
I was like, Dad, you're not going to watch the game.
He's like, but I always watch Notre Dame on NBC.
Like not anymore, dad, because now they don't care about
your eighty year old dads. They care about making money
and that's sad. That's just said.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And if you want to watch it, I guess you
could still always go to Hooters up. No, can't do
that anymore. What happened to Hooters? Do you remember? It's
funny because as you're a news junkie and I'm a
news junkie, so there are things that occupy the news
cycle for fifteen minutes and we'll never forget it. But
looking back on it, when you explain the controversy to
people that weren't there, they're not going to get it. Yeah,
(05:23):
I'll give you an example. Do you remember when YouTube
bundled one of their songs in with the new iTunes?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
It was twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
YouTube had a new album that came up YouTube not
YouTube you too, sorry? You two had a new album
that came out called Songs of Innocence, and it was
automatically downloaded to millions of iTunes subscribers.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yes, do you remember this?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I do remember that people were out of they were
so mad about it. Yes, YouTube went over not YouTube Sorry.
I keep saying that YouTube went overnight from being one
of the most popular bands in the world to one
of the most hated bands.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Because they gave away their album for free. Yeah, why
were people so mad about that?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, they just did.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
They didn't like the fact that they put stuff automatically
onto your playlist or onto your phone or I remember
that that was a huge That kind of did reputational
damage to the band, but like like long lasting reputational
damage to the band that people were so angry that
they dare shove their music down their throat without them
voluntarily wanting it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Years later, I had a friend that went to Vegas
and he went and saw them at the Dome and
I was like, Oh, that must have been great. He's like, yeah, man,
I went to the Dome. What was that like? It
was the coolest visuals I ever saw? And you like
you too? Oh yeah, man, I think they're great. Did
they play all your favorite you two songs?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It was so good. I think I finally forgive them
for Songs of Innocence. I was like, what, what? I
totally forgot about that?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Daniel Turner is in the house right now, and there's
a lot I want to talk to you about today.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Let's start out with this.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
For those of you watching us on social media, I
want to make something clear. When I say we'll be
right back, I'm saying that to the radio listeners. If
you're watching me on social media right now, we're not
going anywhere. It'll literally we're just going to play a liner.
It's radio jargon. It means when I say we'll be
right back, it means literally four or five seconds from now.
But to the rest of you, we'll after this commercial break,
(07:13):
we'll be right back, and then we're going to talk
about how you're paying Putin to go to war with Zwinsky.
We'll explain it. It's never too early to learn that
the government is a greedy piglet that suckles on a
taxpayer's teat until they have sore, chapped nipples.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
The Pursuit of Happiness Radio on AM nine fifty KPRC.
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
The chance of being abducted by aliens in America, according
to a new report, is zero point zero five percent,
which is roughly the same chance of seeing Congress do
something productive. They put out a list today of the
states where you're most likely to be abducted by an alien,
and I do not believe it. They said that the
top states were like and not in this specific order,
(07:57):
but they were California, Florida in Oregon. It's like, eh, Florida,
maybe not Oregon Oregon. If you're an alien, would you
go to Oregon?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
How an organ in the California is way too populous,
Florida is too hot. Aliens, as everyone knows, don't like
the heat. So of course no, Yeah, that's what I
would have thought of. Yeah, no is strong.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I always feel like whenever there's a news story about
someone claiming to be probed by an alien, it's always
a southern state. It's always a redneckt day. And I
could say that I'm cool at the rednecks. The top
three states where you're least likely in this order were Louisiana, Mississippi,
and Alabama.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Daniel Turner Powerthfuture dot Com. Do you buy it? No?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, I think they have those that orders reverse. That's
that you would go to those states. You'd go to
the Southern states. People are a lot friendlier, so if
an alien approaches, people will be like, hey, you lost.
Then they'll want to come and try to give you directions,
and the next thing you know, boom, you're getting probed
on the mothership.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
All right, Well, speaking of abducting aliens, there's another kind
of alien getting abducted right now.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Is this a good segue or what?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And that alien is gang members from South America, more
specifically Al Salvador and Venezuela. Now that'd be MS thirteen
and Trende Aragua, depending on what state they come from.
Dozens of deported alien immigrants just showed up in Venezuela. Maduro,
the dictator of Venezuela, not only is taking the migrants,
(09:16):
he is paying for them to be shipped there to
be flown down to his country.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
A b Kelly.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Bou Kelly and Maduro are both I mean, they have
almost nothing in common except the fact that they're playing
ball with Trump right now. One of them obviously right
wing populist, the other communist dictator. But in Al Salvador
they've taken in all the gang members and the latest
on this.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Can you explain this to me?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
This just happened. The judge that's been all over the
news lately, Boseburg is his name. This is the same
guy that protected federal agents for illegally spying on Donald
Trump in twenty sixteen. And he's also famous for having
a daughter who runs a charity that provides goods and
services to illegal immigrants that I think was previously funded
(10:00):
by the federal government. If I'm not mistaken, he has
just weighed in and said every one of these gang
members must be brought back from Al Salvador or Venezuela,
respectively for their trials, so we could prove due process
if they are in fact gang members. Hey, this is
something that always frustrated me. People seem to misunderstand. The
government does not grant us any rights.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
If the government doesn't decide that you have a right
to free speech or a right to defend yourself, those
are God given rights. Those are natural rights, natural law.
Thousands of years we've understood this. This goes back to
Socrates and Aristotle. So if the government's job isn't to
grant you those rights, but to defend your rights, because
that's what they do, why then would the government need
to defend the rights of foreign illegals.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, it's remarkable their overt desire to protect the quote
unquote rights of illegals. I just wonder where this judicial
enthusiasm was when we were all getting told to stay
in our house if we don't leave without a mask right,
Or thousands of Americans were getting fed hired from the
military if they refuse to get a jab. Or how
many people did the buy I think it was twenty nine.
(11:05):
Did Joe Biden lock up because they were caught praying
outside of an abortion clinic?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I never saw one judge step out of line and say,
you know what, I Am going to step in here
because it's such an egregious violation of natural law of order.
But when it comes to the global agenda, when it
comes to illegals, these judges are bending over backwards to
reinterpret laws to ascribe American constitutional rights to people who
(11:31):
have none because they're not American and they're not on
the country legally.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I mean, that's what I always thought, right.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
The other guy that when discussing this topic and not
discussing gang members from South America, the other name that
gets thrown around a lot is mock Mood Khalil. This
was the guy that was protesting at Columbia University, not
currently a student. Is my understanding on this, And people
will argue, well, he didn't break any laws. Actually he did,
didn't They hold a janitor hostage for a while I
(11:56):
mean these are not good people.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, they locked people out of the building, They locked
people out of classes, they prevented classes from happening. And
to hide behind our First Amendment and say you know
that he has a constitutional right to assemble and this
is just an expression that's just beyond defensive right. These
people are here as our guests. I think our visa
(12:18):
program as a whole, and I know President Trump shares
this sentiment and is trying to change it in the
State Department with Secretary of Rubio. Our visa department as
a whole needs to be completely reformed. Right, we don't
need these folks in our country. Why this is the whole?
Diversity is our strength argument. Why do we need to
have so many hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals, some
(12:38):
of them from countries that truly despise us, or students
from China where they're just stealing our information? Why do
we have them here on student visas? How is this
making America a better place? Having people like Mahmoud Khalil,
Assyrian national isis sympathizer here in Colombia. Is Columbia richer
because of his presence? I would clearly argue you know,
(13:00):
our coal higher ed system is totally inflated anyway, Imagine
if costs would come down if there wasn't the competition
from all these foreign nationals.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, and have you looked at how much money Columbia
University is worth?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I was just trying to look it up. Here, I
had the number in front of it. They have.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Okay, here we go. Their endowment is fourteen point eight
billion dollars. The way that Donald Trump was able to
get Columbia University to make their campus safer for Jewish students, supposedly,
that's what they're saying, was to take away federal funding.
And wait a second, why does a college with an
endowment of fourteen point eight billion dollars need federal fund?
(13:38):
Why are we giving them money in the first place.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So we give them money, and a lot of that
is disguised as grants programs. Right. We need people to
study the migratory pats patterns of ground hogs and butterflies,
right exactly, So they go to the Columbia University School
of Butterflies. Boy, imagine the students in that program and
they give them a grant to do this, right, And
so I I get it to a certain extent. But
(14:01):
if you have fourteen billion dollars in the bank, you're
charging what eighty thousand dollars per student. Even if you're
not charging that student, you're getting the money somehow in
appel grant. Right, So you're getting that eighty thousand dollars,
whether it's from the taxpayers, whether it's you're getting that money,
you're still getting How much money is in this program
seems that there's a lot of money. There's a lot
(14:22):
of money in a system that we talk about how
our students are graduating with so much debt. Where the
hell's the money going? But it's the same as the
American federal government. We have thirty six trillion dollars in debt,
and yet everyone seems to have five hundred thousand dollars grants,
five million dollars. Stacey Abrams got two billion dollar grants.
We have a huge fiscal irresponsibility program that's so pervasive.
(14:42):
We've just begun to scratch the surface. And I think
the powers that be, the crazy left, they're the recipients
of it. And that's why they're so angry at what
Elon and Doze is doing, because he's taking away their lifeblood.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Could you imagine that losing the governorship is probably the
greatest thing to ever happen to Stacy Abrams? Yeah, two
point eight billion dollars in funding for her NGOs that
she's affiliate.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
If you tell me I lost an election, but don't worry,
your consolation prize will be billions of dollars in funding
for your pet projects create I don't want to be governor.
Does the governor even have that kind of money to
spend in the state budget?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, I can't imagine that Columbia has. I don't know
what George's revenue is, Brian. Two billion is a lot
of money, and for perspective, Colombia is revamping its policies,
doing something it really does not want to do, which
is protect Jewish students, and they're doing that for four
hundred million. Stacy Abrams got over two billion. Think of
(15:39):
how much money too. If you knew a guy who
had two billion dollars, you'd be the happiest person in
the world. Two billion dollars is an absurd amount of money,
and Stacy Abrams got it with no history in the space,
no board, no employees, no office building, no website, no,
no mission statement, no nothing, just to said I'm gonna
help tackle climate change.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Okay, here's two billion dollars one of the ways. I mean, obviously,
this is not how I would have done it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
As a libertarian Republican and a free market capitalist. I
would not have thought of tariffs as a way as
a negotiating tool. I would not have thought of withholding funding.
He just does things. That being said, there's more than
one way to skin a cat. I like what the
results were getting. It's the way Trump governs. Not what
I would have done, but I don't. I certainly like
it a lot more than what the other option would
(16:26):
have been. But he made a point recently that blew
my mind. We've been at war now for three years,
a proxy war with Russia, which is crazy because we're
still they're still involved in space exploration with us. We're
still technically allies technically, right, but okay, we're funding a
war with Russia. And Trump made this point recently. He said,
(16:49):
if they want me to keep giving money to Zelenski,
the European Union has to stop buying oil from Russia.
It was like, well, wait a second, three years, we're still.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Giving the money. Yeah, we're still giving them a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Who almost everyone in NATO, almost who, France, Germany, Italy.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
NATO, NATO.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
The very people that are mad that we're not doing
enough for Ukraine are funding Russia's side of the war.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Daniel, How could that be true?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It's one of those things that is so absurd that
when you explain it to people, it's almost.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Hard to believe, in hard to fathom.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
People said I was lying about this when I did
a video on exactly because that's the only response, because
you like, this can't possibly be true.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So when the war broke out, all the European leaders
and Joe Biden made this proclamation that they were gonna
have an embargo on Russian oil and gas, not gonna
buy it anymore. Well, these countries all need oil and gas,
as does America need oil and gas. So what Russia
did is they said, great, we'll sell our oil and
gas the countries like Turkey or the Koreans will sell
(17:55):
it to India, and then India will sell it again
up charged to the Italian, to the French, to the Germans,
to the Brits, and so that's why also their prices
are so much higher they're paying for the service to charge.
So India and all those countries are making money, and
Russia's making as much money as it did from the
very beginning. There's not this idea that Russia has this
(18:15):
huge stockpile of oil and gas and Putin's they're like, oh, no,
one's buying my girl scout cookies. Right, Like, it's not stockpiling.
It is being sold, but it's being sold to intermediaries,
and the Europeans are buying it. President Trump made the
point that the European Union, the EU has spent more
buying Russian oil and gas than they've given an aid
to Ukraine to fight Russia. So the European Union is
(18:39):
funding the war. The European Union is funding with their
purchase of oil and gas. They're funding Vladimir Putin. How
dare they look at us and say, President Trump doesn't
believe in democracy, you're the ones who are funding the
Russian army.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah about it.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
It's been three weeks at this point since Zelenski visited
the Oval Office, and famously there was that little tiff
between him and JD. Vance, And immediately all these European
leaders come out and go, we support Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
We support Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
No, you're the ones that are given the money to
Russia to keep the war going. Sit down, shut up,
and we'll try to end the war without your help.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
You're listening to the Pursuit of Happiness radio. I guess
it's not available in Canada.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
California is the most popular state for alien abductions, probably
because the tractor beam can't lift anyone in Arkansas. I
would assume. I don't know how does it work. It's confusing. Meanwhile,
this just came in. We just learned about this, guys.
Breaking news in the world of entertainment. The longtime drummer
for Guns n' Roses has just quit the band. He's
(19:43):
tired of being an Axle Roses shadow.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
And if.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
That, Joe tells itself does because he's fat. Aug I
didn't even get to say it, did I you already
know that you know the punchline before I say it.
I want to talk about the entertainment industry a little bit.
Speaking of shadows. Rosie O'Donnell was on TV in Ireland
and I have a habit on this radio show when
(20:08):
I play a SoundBite of something from the news that
I find to be interesting. I like to pause the
parts that are interesting. And the problem with the SoundBite
is everything she says. Every single thing she says in
the sixty second clip fifty five second clip is jaw
droppingly stupid. This is a great reminder of how we're
(20:29):
not all watching the same news, We're not all getting
the same objective truth. Listen to what she says here
when asked about the election of Donald Trump on a
talk show in Ireland.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You know a lot of people did vote for him, Yes,
Do you accept their right to do that in their
opinion of them?
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Well, I respect their right to do that. I question
why the first time in American history a president has
won every swing state and is also best friends and
his largest owner was a man who owns and runs
the Internet. So I would hope that that would be
investigated and that we would see whether or not it
was an anomaly or something else that happened on election
(21:11):
night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums
with people who supported her and Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Was not able to do that. Like Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It's remarkable that you know, before we even go into
her comments, there's now a new third period of poor
Irish history. Right, there was Oliver Cromwell and the disillusion
of the monasteries. There was Victoria who starved them during
the Potato femine, and now there's Rosio O'Donnell. So the
third level of Irish persecution has begun into my Irish
(21:42):
ancestors there in County Kerry.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I'm sorry for what America has done to you.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I had wondered about immigrating to Ireland because they just
took her in and I do you understand it's easy
to get to Ireland, right because there's all these illegal
immigrants and people from Africa and Muslim countries. So we've
been led to believe that anyone could just go there
and become a citizen. Turns out no, only if you're
from a marginalized country with poor this and that.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Disin France, yes they'll take you.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Otherwise, if you're a white person, you've got to have
an Irish last name.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Did you know that there are lots of programs if
you have European grandparents or great grandparents. They are desperate
for their ancestors to come back because they don't want
their countries filled with North Africans and Middle Eastern. But
so if you are, my grandparents are from both Ireland
and Italy, so I could in theory apply for EU citizenship.
(22:32):
But you should see the amount of paperwork. You can't
just walk in and say, you know, my grandmother was
born in County Kerry, can I be a citizen. It's like, well,
let's prove all of this. But if you're from Syria
and you're twenty two years old and you're wearing the
nicest flag, come right on in and we'll put you
in a hotel in Dublin.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
And that's the craziest thing. And that's just how it is.
That's how it is in Ireland right now. Anyway, this
sound by this video clip of Rosy O'Donnell is fascinating
to me for so many reasons because she's a supposed
to be a well educated person on the left. She's
a respected thought leader on the left who believes the
election was rigged. Yes, and Elon Musk controls the Internet,
owns it owns the Internet.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
And then also and then this weird.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Belief that like Trump wasn't able to get people to
go to rallies, Trump filled Madison Square Garden. Do you
guys get Kamala couldn't do that. That's why they did
a rally at Carnegie Hall. Do most people know that well?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And the other thing that the stadiums that she did
fill is because they flat out lied and said Beyonce
is going to be there, and so one hundred thousand
people probably did show up, and then Beyonce walked out
on the stage and said vote for Kamala, and she
walked out and people were like, I thought she was
gonna sing a little something for us. So they did
have to lie. I mean, they had to do that
(23:44):
to get their numbers up. The largest rally of the
twenty sixteen cycle was the Hillary Clinton rally the night
before the election. It was at Penn State Rappy Valley, right,
Penn State has eighty thousand students, I think. But the
lineup was Katie Perry, it was Beyonce, it was a
bon Jovi, it was Bruce Springsteen. Even if I was
(24:04):
a college Republican at Penn State, I would have been like, hell, yeah,
I'm going to go to that free concert.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Go check it out. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So that's how if Kamala filled her stadiums, that's how
she did it. But the rallies that she did though,
or it was just Kamala and Tim. You know, one
hundred people, five hundred people would be showing up.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
But if you added everyone up. See here's the thing
they won't tell you.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
In the last month of the election, you could look
at the schedules for all these all four of the candidates, right,
Trump doing three rallies a day, three different states.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
JD Evans three rallies a day, two different states.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Tim Walls same thing, probably traveling to two different states,
three rallies a day. Kamala Harris one rally a day.
Now that no one would say that out loud, but
we all knew it was going on. It was in
the media. Ever, you could make this argument like, oh,
men work harder than women are.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
That wasn't even the point.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
The point was Kamala was available less than Trump was,
so when she was available, if you were interested in her,
it's like basic supply and demand. You want to go
to a Kamala Harris rally, there's one place to go.
You want to go to a Trump rally. There's three
things you can go to today, six if you count JD.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, and how disingenuous she was you saw a lot
of those mashups where her speech wasn't just exactly the same,
her gesturing was the same, her voice inflection, so she
had practiced in front of a mirror. This is the
speech I give for these couple of days. Didn't matter
if she was in Georgia, didn't matter if she was
in matt Michigan. It was the same speech. Now, Trump,
I'm shore had a stum speech as well, but boyo boyded.
(25:29):
He talked to the local people and asked their local
officials and local topics as well.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
The other thing that Rosie.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Said, which is just so historically dumb, that he's the
first president to ever win every swing state.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Does she not know about Nixon, Reagan ray election.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Reagan's reelection one every state except for Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Every state, Yeah, the swing states. I have to go
back and look at Clinton ninety six. I'm sure the
swing states were different back then. I don't know if
Clinton's re election won. I know it was a bloodbath.
Dol didn't stay in a chance, But I don't know
if Clinton won every quote unquote swing state. I don't
think Barack Obama even won every swing state, but he
(26:08):
may have. He won a good number of them. But
I don't even know if we called him swing states
back then. But if you're just going election by election,
this narrative is immediately eliminated. In the first ever presidential election,
George Washington, It's.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Like, come on, lady, that can't be. You can't be
that stupid. Is the first president to win every a
swing state? No, that wasn't even the first time during your.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Lifetime, lady. This is how out of touch they are.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know, how to do what you do for a living,
or what I do for a I listen to NPR,
I watch CNN, I look at the Huffington Post. That's
part of the job. It's not just sitting around all
day watching Fox News. I'm on the radio all day long.
You know, we're on social media all You can't just
look at right wing conservative media.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't think Rosie O'Donnell is looking at anything except
for far left media.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
In order for her to reach those.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Conclusions, every swing state kamala is filling stadiums and Trump
couldn't get anyone to go to a rally, Like what
is she talking about? Imagine living through multiple Trump assassination
attempts and not thinking there was anybody at the rally.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah yeah, imagine getting to the end of the twenty
twenty four cycle and not even thinking Trump has a
chance like being so of course you think your team
is gonna win, right, And if you're on the Democrat ticket,
if you work in for Kamala Harris, it is your
job to tell people we've got it, as did the
Trump people, But both of them knew there was a
chance that it could go the opposite way, but they
(27:32):
were so convinced. And that's the thing that's ultimately where
Trumps arrangement syndrome is born, and the hatred for Trump
from every judge, every politician, the hatred of Trump is
born on election Day in twenty sixteen, when they were
so convinced Hillary had it that they've never forgiven him
for it. That's the only reason why they hate him
is because the New York Times said ninety two percent.
(27:54):
Every pundit was laughing. They were popping champagne that morning
Election morning, like we didn't even have to make an effort.
The Democrat ticket and her entire staff, Robbie Mook were
popping champagne because we just got to get to the
end of the day because we have this done. Their
hatred for Donald Trump stems from the fact that they
think they were entitled to an easy victory and he
took it from them by working harder and by appealing
(28:16):
to a larger audience than Hillary Clinton, and they've never
forgiven him for it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah. I don't understand people who will defend everything Trump does,
even when it's something you were against a few years ago.
Like Trump, A lot of Trump supporters were against more
stimulus checks at the beginning of the Joe Biden administration,
and then earlier this year, I found myself on Twitter
arguing with people over whether or not a five thousand
dollars stimulus check was going to be A guy.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I was like, I don't think it's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Guys, they're like, oh, that's because you hate Trump, or
it's like, no, I just don't think we should spend
more money.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But I really don't understand people that hate Trump no
matter what he's doing. Taxpayer funded IVF. You guys went
around telling everybody he was going to outlaw IVF. He's
getting the government to pay for it, aren't you thrilled. No,
they're not thrilled.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
They don't get it.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
It's like Rosie O'Donnell really doesn't get it. They're out
of touch, and that's why they probably don't understand this.
Here's a report today from hot air dot com. I
was just looking at I was actually an awfl study.
Democrats' long term strategy for electoral dominance has always depended
on three demographic groups minorities, young workers, union workers. Right,
(29:24):
young people are not loving Democrats anymore overwhelmingly. You see
this report now in the New York Times today. Suddenly
Democrats are getting destroyed on gen Z voters, especially men.
Gen Z men are mostly entirely conservative, and there's probably
a good explanation for why that's true. But before we
get to any of it, here is CNN's Van Jones,
(29:46):
kind of like Bill Mari's one of the people on
the left. You wish more people on the left would
listen to. If progressives have a politics, it says.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
All white people are racist, all men are toxic, and
all billionaires are evil.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
It's kind of hard to keep him on your side. Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
One in three black men in Texas voted for Trump
thirty three percent of black man. Now that might not
seem like a lot. We're even seeing that kind of
numbers in the Republican Party since like the mid twentieth century, Daniel.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
That's phenomenal, it really is.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
And the difference between this current Democrat Party and the
Democrat Party of not long ago, of which Van Jones
was part of. Right, he was a key advisor to
Barack Obama his entire presidency and his two thousand and
eight campaign.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Obama at least campaigned as someone who cared about everybody.
He governed very differently right.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Once in office, he was a divisive race, baiting anti
everything Van Jones just said. But he was smart enough
on the campaign trail to pretend that he cared about
that audience. Today's Democrat Party can't even pretend they care
about that audience. They go out of their way to
say we don't want them, we don't want their vote,
we don't want them as part of this tent. Well, okay,
(30:55):
so you're left with the leftovers, and the leftovers, you
can't make a right sandwich sometimes out of the leftovers.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
So have you seen this guy on YouTube?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
There's a really good on the street reporter named no
Cap on God and he always plays a character, kind
of like he's Borat or Bruno. He's not Sasha Baron Collin,
but that's what he's doing. He's doing characters. He went
to the Democrat National Convention last summer and he met
Jerry Nadler and he asked Jerry Nadler in like a
very feminine gay voice. He said, he was like, why
(31:25):
can't we raise taxes on straight gay men or straight
white men?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
And Jerry Nadler said, well, if we win this election,
we can.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And a friend of mine was having this conversation with me,
why don't white men vote for Democrats? Why don't men
vote for Democrats? And I mentioned this clip. I showed
him the clip. My friend says to me, but Kenny,
that's a comedy video. Jerry Nadler didn't know it was
a comedy video. Jerry Nadler thought he was talking to
a real on the streets reporter and it ended up
it ended up as the punchline to a comedy. But
(31:54):
Democrats really think this, and then they wonder, well, why
won't people vote against their own self interest? Because I
don't want my family to suffer because of some guilt
that my grandfather felt.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, and when you have no course set of principles,
you're just you're just lustful for power, which most Democrat
elected officials are a lot of elected officials on Republican side,
but that is the only principal Democrats have now is
the position to lust for power. You find yourself saying
these things that are just so insane. So Jasmine Crocker,
for example, Crockett, I forget, which is you know, just
(32:27):
just got a warning from the Attorney General's office because
she says, we got to take out elon Musk, We've
got to take him down.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
How do you get to the stage of your political
career that you dislike this man so much that you
say these things on the record. How do you dislike
one group of which in theory Jerry Nadler is part
of one demographic so much because they don't vote for you,
that you're willing to say we need to tax them
more than we tax other folks. That just the lust
for power makes you absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Yeah, that you'll say the craziest thing even And isn't
Jerry Nadler a white guy like you?
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Theory? You know?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
All right, Well to your point, the Jasmine Crockett thing.
Before we break here, we got to talk about this.
I think this is the new leader of the Democrat
part hundred percent because it's not Bernie. Yep, it's not Bernie.
Sanders has got a problem. He was pro gunned for
way too long. They used that against him the last
time he ran for president. It might be AOC I
don't know, though she's trying to scale it down lately.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
It's not Elizabeth Warren. It sure is crap. Not Tim Walls.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
We'll talk about him in a little bit, but real quick,
here's Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Just in case the slow people listening decide to click
this up later. I just want to say that I
have never promoted violence whatsoever. Yet I've also never made
excuse for those violent actors, such as the ones on
January sixth. So, Pam Bonnie, if you have an issue
with terrorism, maybe you should talk to your boss about
(33:50):
locking back up those guys.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
All right.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
So I don't think most people thought that anyone on
January sixth shouldn't be punished. The question became sh they
sit in at jail cell for March for nine months
without anybody pressing charges against him. But all that being said,
you know, this isn't about what happened yesterday. It's about
what's going on today. And what is going on today
is that people are firebombing Tesla dealerships, and Jasmine Crockett
(34:16):
seems to be cheering it off.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
On March twenty ninth, it's my birthday and all I
want to see happen on my birthday is for Eli
to be taken down.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Yes, listen, it.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Sounds an awful lot like she's calling for violence. To me,
I don't know what do you think?
Speaker 4 (34:32):
You know?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
And this is this is again what I was saying.
This is the lust for power and the lust for
the spotlight. And Jasmin Crocker just wants to be popular
and famous. You know, she's watched the Bernie Sanders is
the AOCS and she wants to be part of that train,
and she realizes being the most outrageous possible is the
way to do it. But she is an elected member
of Congress and she's supposed to at least somehow tone
(34:54):
down the rhetoric. Remember the very first day of Congress
January third of this year, when Hakeem Jeffrey's saying, we
need to make this call for bipartisanship.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
I remember it.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
It was ten years ago exactly. Yeah, we need to
tone down the rhetoric. We need to work together. There's
no desire for any of them to do that because
there's just too much lust for power.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
And it's sad.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Jasmin Crockett could be a leader of her party, but
she's she's not too dumb, she's she's.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Just too self involved.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
She's too proud of her position, of her growing popularity,
and she's too desperate for fame and attention that now
she's becoming insane.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
You know what she's becoming.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
She's becoming Kim Kardashian, who the second her fame dwindles,
she's like, what naked thing can I put in my button?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Now? Like what my photo shoot? Can I do? How
can I?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
And then you see it on the headlines, Kim Kardashian
strips down nude with a Boa constrictor. It's like, of
course she is because she was out of the headline
for a second. That's what Jasmin Crockett is doing. She's
doing the most outrageous thing possible to always stay on
the news.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
By the way, speaking of Jasmine, Crockett and Elon Musk.
It was revealed recently, you know, as taxpayers were required
to pay for their car rentals. They're releasing a car
in Washington DC. Her car, according to this report that
just came out ninety nine dollars and ninety six cents
per month NAS car. The car that she's renting out.
That's a nice car. That's a nice car. It's a
(36:14):
luxury car. According to what a lot of people speculate.
That's the exact amount of money in Washington, d C.
It would cost to rent a Tesla Model S, which
I don't know if you've heard about this, but apparently
that a car company isn't it's not owned by Steve Jobs.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
A.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Star cousin. Right here, I'm it's ha work to host
the show with a couple of knucklehears.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Can Western ga Oh, we're back from break Creeting's kids.
Over the weekend, we finally got a taste of snowwoke
Reason dot com. I don't always agree with Reason dot
com on everything, but I find their reviews and analysis
things to be very interesting, especially when it's economic information.
They went out and they watched Snow White, the new
(37:04):
Snow White movie, and they pointed out, this isn't even
that it's woke. They called it straight up socialists. They said,
the new snow it's a socialist version of Snow White.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Interestingly enough, for Rachel Zegler, most people didn't know who
this woman was before she starred in this movie.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
I didn't know who she was.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
The controversy with Snow White has gone on now for
it feels like it's been happening for years at this point.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
It started off.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
With Peter Dinklice telling people he was disgusted at the
thought of Disney doing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
So Disney said, no to worry, We'll hire tall people
to play the Dwarfs.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
And then that upset people.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
So then they got cgi Dwarves, and somehow that wasn't
even the most controversial part of all this. Rachel Zegler,
the star of the show of the movie, comes out
and tells people, Snow White's weird. We've all seen that video.
I won't waste time right now.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Snow White's weird.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
It's about the patriarchy and a guy and the mail gaze,
and it's a weird movie.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
It's snow White was a masterpiece.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
It was considered to be one of the greatest pieces
of art in the early twentieth century in film that
ever existed. It's weird how people on the left, especially
young people, can't look at anything from the past through
the lens of the past. They can only look at
it by modern day standards. They don't understand Christopher Columbus.
They can't understand the need to keep up old statues.
They don't get it. Rachel Zegler doubles down on this
(38:25):
by actually going out and saying she wants she wishes
violence on Trump supporters. She doesn't like Israel, even though
she's co starring in a movie with a woman who's
a proud Israel activist, Gal Gado. She said she doesn't
think she's getting paid enough for the movies. She should
get paid for every second that someone watches on a
streaming service.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
I'm going to stand there for eighteen hours in a
press of an iconic Disney princess. I deserve to be
savor for every hour it.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Is stream She deserves to be paid for every hour. Well,
as it turns out so far, that would mean that
she owes Disney money because they're losing a lot of
cash right now on them. But then there was this
little doozy. She just couldn't stop saying dumb things. Here's
another one. And to everyone.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Who hates when I win, the.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Winged victory came to the Louver in pieces and people
still line up to see her.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
And I can only help.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
That despite my flaws, and despite my craps and my brakes,
and there are many of them, got at every premiere
and everything I do.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
I'm sure she's about to make a great point, but
I'm gonna cut her off right now. Isn't it weird
how rich, beautiful people who are rich and famous and
get everything they want still insists that we feel sorry
for them.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
They still want to be victims. How do they do it?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
She's such a victim. She has the most difficult life imaginable.
It's remarkable, the self indulgence. It's remarkable that if she
would call herself an artist, right because everyone in hollywoo
It is an artist. It's amazing that as an artist
she could look at other people's art with such disdain
that she not only needs to fix it or rectify it,
(40:10):
that she it's anathema. It has to be absolutely erased
from our collective memory. And that's what she did with
the original snow White. Those artists made it back in
the day, those animators who worked by the way, by hand,
right there were no computers doing that. Who did the sound,
who did the music, who did the what about their
art doesn't deserve a place in our cherished history. But no,
not when you're Michelle Zunkler, whatever her name is, Like,
(40:32):
I don't even know who the hell this girl is,
and yet she is now in charge of interpreting what
was once a great part of American cinematography, cinema photographic history.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
It's always, at any.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Time in my adult life, when I look at what
people in Hollywood are mad about, it's always so detached
from reality.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
And to really.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Emphasize that point right now, Rachel Zegler wants you to
feel sorry for her because she's being judged for her
opinions on Palestine or whatever. But meanwhile, here in the
United States, how in California, in the state where I
assume she lives, because she works in Hollywood, We're watching
on the screen right now, video footage from a CVS pharmacy.
We're not just the pharmaceuticals, not just the hygienic products.
(41:14):
Everything in the store is under lock and key, everything
refrigerated goods, food, potato, chips, and shampoo, anything walking around
the store.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
How does it get this bad? Danie'll explain to someone
in Hollywood what.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
It's like to walk into a CVS pharmacy just to
buy goods for your house, and you need to get
an employee that works there to unlock everything, because that's
how bad it is in your community.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
But you know what, She's not doing it, and that's
the big difference, right, And this is kind of what
the ethos of power of the future is. People like
her make these decisions, they advocate for these policies, but
they're not affected by it. It's the same as the
climate change people who say we need to shut down
this cold plant in Longview, Texas. Well, you don't live
in Longview. It's not your job that's on the line,
it's not your utility rates that are going to go up,
(42:00):
so you don't really care about your position. And it's
the same when it comes to these criminal justice reforms.
Rachel will send it an assistant who she probably be
rates because the guy took so long to buy whatever
product that she wanted at the store and probably throws
things at her right. We hear all the time about
politicians and actors and actresses who throw things at their
(42:21):
production assistance and their personal assistance.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
She's probably an awful person to work with. I would
imagine you absolutely abuse have to be. Here's another example
of how out of touch they are right now. I
couldn't believe this was a real thing. I saw this
at the end of last week. Daniel New York Times
headline right now door Dash announces buy now, pay later
partnership with Klarna. I'm sorry people are financing meals. DoorDash
(42:47):
will let users buy now pay later for fast food.
CNN is saying this is a very worrying sign for
the economy.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Yeah, I would think that it would be.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
If you can't afford to have a meal delivered to
you right now, don't get the meal, Like, in what
scenario would this be reasonable? You don't have any money now,
you're starting a new job on Friday, and you need
to clear out your condo, but you need to eat,
so you can't afford to go out and buy food.
What very specific scenario would this situation of buying a
(43:19):
meal now and paying for it later actually not be alarming.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah, it's it's insane. Why is this any different though,
than your credit card? Like, if you use door Dash,
don't you just put it on your credit card? You
don't pay cash when the guy shows up with your food.
So why do you need to have a different program
to set because you're maxed out.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
On your credit card? Yes, yes, I assume that's it.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, so not only are we probably eating onhealthily because
we're having food delivered. And by the way, and I've
done door Dash when I'm in the city, I can't
where I live in the country and nothing delivers time.
Speaker 4 (43:49):
I get things delivered all the time.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
I'm not judging, no, no, no, But but if you
can't afford to pay for it, then you probably shouldn't
be able to buy it. It's kind of the argument
that we're having with the Snap and should you be
able to use Snap with sodas Snap for candy? And
again it's this larger government entitlement program that has made
people fat, unhealthy, lazy.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
And now entitled Daniel, we're.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Up against a clock here, But I could talk about
that for an hour. Yeah, I had the libertarian in me.
I cannot believe there are libertarians right now making the argument, no,
don't let the government tell you what to spend the
money on.
Speaker 4 (44:25):
You don't need Coca cola, you don't need twinkies.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
If this is money for food, and liberals and people
on the left are making the argument, oh it's healthy,
food's too expensive, well then why on earth would you
be allowed to use your food stamps to go out
and buy Cheetos. That's insanity. It should not be fun
to be on food stamps. We should create a system
where we encourage people to get off of it.
Speaker 4 (44:46):

He's live in studio right now.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
How about that. It's awesome to be here with you.
Thank you, Dana.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
For those that do not know who you are, and
I assume most of our regular radio listeners do, but
people are watching us on social media right now.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
There are people that follow.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Me on social media that don't know what I do
for a living. So what what the hell are you?
And who are I'm a plumber? Yeah, I plum for
a living. That's exactly what do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Daniel. I run an organization called Power the Future, which
advocates for American energy jobs, particularly those jobs in rural America,
which is where most of our energy jobs are found.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, there's some executives who live here in the great
city of Houston. But the men and women who are
getting their hands dirty and our sweating are in rural communities,
and we try to be their voice in the power
circles of DC and other places.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I know I asked you this before, but did you
watch land Man yet? Have you looked at it on paramount?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I have not, And the only reason why is because
it's just one more service I refuse to subscribe to.
I already have like too many, and I've gotten rid
of most of them. I just I have a moral problem.
I'm older than you. I know that. I just turned
the big five. Oh okay, well you're not that much older,
not that much older, but I am older. TV is
one of those things that in the course of my
(01:55):
life I've been amazed at how it's not only revolutionized,
but how it's gotten progressively work. Yeah, we have a
lot more.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Options, but remember when you could usually just put on
the TV and you'd watch stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Now it's then they got cable, and then cable got commercials,
even though the whole purpose of cable was to not
have commercials. And then they got streaming services, and then
the network's got their own streaming services. And now the
streaming services have commercials, and now every time there's something
on I want to watch, they're like, all right, you
have to download this app and it's three ninety nine
and you have to create a prol and I'm just like,
screw it. I just just the old days of putting
(02:26):
on the TV and watching something.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I feel like, if you're paying for a streaming service
and you're getting ads, you're getting like you're a sucker. Yeah,
if you're paying for the streaming service that's giving you advertisements,
cancel it. What is so great about this thing? If
you're paying for something, I think it should be ad free.
That seems like a no brainer. And that's why TV
used to be free. In the pre cable era.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You bought the TV set itself, right, you plugged it in,
you put up the rabbit ears, and the commercials were
how they made their money. But the TV is so
you never pay for TV.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They got rid of that, and now you have to
pay for T because you have to have cable. And
they're like, well, you can use a digital antenna, but
that's a load of crap. You have to pay for TV.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I wonder how much of liberal media would not exist
were it not for bundled cable packages because think about it, Yeah,
no one watches Bloomberg. Have you ever seen Bloomberg in
your life?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
No Fox Business or CNBC. Most people watch that, right?
Who watches Forbes? Somebody? Not many people? Who's watching CNN.
Who's watching MSNBC? Not a lot of people. But you
pay for it, or at least you did before, back
when everybody just had bundled cable services, and then that change.
Now they're streaming services. But the problem is the streaming
(03:39):
services are kind of doing what the cable companies did.
There's Sling and Hulu and YouTube TV. So once again
you might argue like, no, I'm only paying for the
stuff I want. Well, you're still paying for a lot
of stuff you probably don't watch.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Think about like when you download music, and there are
lots of different services that you can download or listen
to music. They never say, well, if you want to
listen to this song, you also have to listen to
these three others. You can pick and choose. But when
it comes to cable stations, you can be like, well,
I want this one, but I don't want that channel.
It's like, well you have to get it, Like, well,
what if I want that channel? Well, then you got
to get these four other ones. You say, well, where's
(04:13):
the freedom in that? And so I you know, why
don't I watch Landman. I'm just angry at the entire
industry because obviously there's a lot of money to be made.
They've taken away a lot of choice, a lot of freedom.
They've made it incredibly expensive.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'll go back a year and change with my beloved
father who's no longer with us. Something we share members
of the Dead Dad's Club, which is not a great
club to belong to. First game of Notre Dame season
and he was like, I can't find it on NBC.
I was like, it's not, dad, It's on the Peacock Network.
And he's like, well, what's that. I'm like, I'm not
going to explain to my eighty year old dad, Like
(04:47):
all right, get your laptop plug in, Like it just wasn't.
I was like, Dad, you're not going to watch the game.
He's like, but I always watch Notre Dame on NBC.
Like not anymore, dad, because now they don't care about
your eighty year old dads. They care about making money
and that's sad. That's just said.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And if you want to watch it, I guess you
could still always go to Hooters up. No, can't do
that anymore. What happened to Hooters? Do you remember? It's
funny because as you're a news junkie and I'm a
news junkie, so there are things that occupy the news
cycle for fifteen minutes and we'll never forget it. But
looking back on it, when you explain the controversy to
people that weren't there, they're not going to get it. Yeah,
(05:23):
I'll give you an example. Do you remember when YouTube
bundled one of their songs in with the new iTunes?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
It was twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
YouTube had a new album that came up YouTube not
YouTube you too, sorry? You two had a new album
that came out called Songs of Innocence, and it was
automatically downloaded to millions of iTunes subscribers.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yes, do you remember this?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I do remember that people were out of they were
so mad about it. Yes, YouTube went over not YouTube Sorry.
I keep saying that YouTube went overnight from being one
of the most popular bands in the world to one
of the most hated bands.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Because they gave away their album for free. Yeah, why
were people so mad about that?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, they just did.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
They didn't like the fact that they put stuff automatically
onto your playlist or onto your phone or I remember
that that was a huge That kind of did reputational
damage to the band, but like like long lasting reputational
damage to the band that people were so angry that
they dare shove their music down their throat without them
voluntarily wanting it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Years later, I had a friend that went to Vegas
and he went and saw them at the Dome and
I was like, Oh, that must have been great. He's like, yeah, man,
I went to the Dome. What was that like? It
was the coolest visuals I ever saw? And you like
you too? Oh yeah, man, I think they're great. Did
they play all your favorite you two songs?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It was so good. I think I finally forgive them
for Songs of Innocence. I was like, what, what? I
totally forgot about that?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Daniel Turner is in the house right now, and there's
a lot I want to talk to you about today.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Let's start out with this.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
For those of you watching us on social media, I
want to make something clear. When I say we'll be
right back, I'm saying that to the radio listeners. If
you're watching me on social media right now, we're not
going anywhere. It'll literally we're just going to play a liner.
It's radio jargon. It means when I say we'll be
right back, it means literally four or five seconds from now.
But to the rest of you, we'll after this commercial break,
(07:13):
we'll be right back, and then we're going to talk
about how you're paying Putin to go to war with Zwinsky.
We'll explain it. It's never too early to learn that
the government is a greedy piglet that suckles on a
taxpayer's teat until they have sore, chapped nipples.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
The Pursuit of Happiness Radio on AM nine fifty KPRC.
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
The chance of being abducted by aliens in America, according
to a new report, is zero point zero five percent,
which is roughly the same chance of seeing Congress do
something productive. They put out a list today of the
states where you're most likely to be abducted by an alien,
and I do not believe it. They said that the
top states were like and not in this specific order,
(07:57):
but they were California, Florida in Oregon. It's like, eh, Florida,
maybe not Oregon Oregon. If you're an alien, would you
go to Oregon?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
How an organ in the California is way too populous,
Florida is too hot. Aliens, as everyone knows, don't like
the heat. So of course no, Yeah, that's what I
would have thought of. Yeah, no is strong.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I always feel like whenever there's a news story about
someone claiming to be probed by an alien, it's always
a southern state. It's always a redneckt day. And I
could say that I'm cool at the rednecks. The top
three states where you're least likely in this order were Louisiana, Mississippi,
and Alabama.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Daniel Turner Powerthfuture dot Com. Do you buy it? No?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, I think they have those that orders reverse. That's
that you would go to those states. You'd go to
the Southern states. People are a lot friendlier, so if
an alien approaches, people will be like, hey, you lost.
Then they'll want to come and try to give you directions,
and the next thing you know, boom, you're getting probed
on the mothership.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
All right, Well, speaking of abducting aliens, there's another kind
of alien getting abducted right now.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Is this a good segue or what?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And that alien is gang members from South America, more
specifically Al Salvador and Venezuela. Now that'd be MS thirteen
and Trende Aragua, depending on what state they come from.
Dozens of deported alien immigrants just showed up in Venezuela. Maduro,
the dictator of Venezuela, not only is taking the migrants,
(09:16):
he is paying for them to be shipped there to
be flown down to his country.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
A b Kelly.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Bou Kelly and Maduro are both I mean, they have
almost nothing in common except the fact that they're playing
ball with Trump right now. One of them obviously right
wing populist, the other communist dictator. But in Al Salvador
they've taken in all the gang members and the latest
on this.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Can you explain this to me?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
This just happened. The judge that's been all over the
news lately, Boseburg is his name. This is the same
guy that protected federal agents for illegally spying on Donald
Trump in twenty sixteen. And he's also famous for having
a daughter who runs a charity that provides goods and
services to illegal immigrants that I think was previously funded
(10:00):
by the federal government. If I'm not mistaken, he has
just weighed in and said every one of these gang
members must be brought back from Al Salvador or Venezuela,
respectively for their trials, so we could prove due process
if they are in fact gang members. Hey, this is
something that always frustrated me. People seem to misunderstand. The
government does not grant us any rights.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
If the government doesn't decide that you have a right
to free speech or a right to defend yourself, those
are God given rights. Those are natural rights, natural law.
Thousands of years we've understood this. This goes back to
Socrates and Aristotle. So if the government's job isn't to
grant you those rights, but to defend your rights, because
that's what they do, why then would the government need
to defend the rights of foreign illegals.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, it's remarkable their overt desire to protect the quote
unquote rights of illegals. I just wonder where this judicial
enthusiasm was when we were all getting told to stay
in our house if we don't leave without a mask right,
Or thousands of Americans were getting fed hired from the
military if they refuse to get a jab. Or how
many people did the buy I think it was twenty nine.
(11:05):
Did Joe Biden lock up because they were caught praying
outside of an abortion clinic?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I never saw one judge step out of line and say,
you know what, I Am going to step in here
because it's such an egregious violation of natural law of order.
But when it comes to the global agenda, when it
comes to illegals, these judges are bending over backwards to
reinterpret laws to ascribe American constitutional rights to people who
(11:31):
have none because they're not American and they're not on
the country legally.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I mean, that's what I always thought, right.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
The other guy that when discussing this topic and not
discussing gang members from South America, the other name that
gets thrown around a lot is mock Mood Khalil. This
was the guy that was protesting at Columbia University, not
currently a student. Is my understanding on this, And people
will argue, well, he didn't break any laws. Actually he did,
didn't They hold a janitor hostage for a while I
(11:56):
mean these are not good people.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, they locked people out of the building, They locked
people out of classes, they prevented classes from happening. And
to hide behind our First Amendment and say you know
that he has a constitutional right to assemble and this
is just an expression that's just beyond defensive right. These
people are here as our guests. I think our visa
(12:18):
program as a whole, and I know President Trump shares
this sentiment and is trying to change it in the
State Department with Secretary of Rubio. Our visa department as
a whole needs to be completely reformed. Right, we don't
need these folks in our country. Why this is the whole?
Diversity is our strength argument. Why do we need to
have so many hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals, some
(12:38):
of them from countries that truly despise us, or students
from China where they're just stealing our information? Why do
we have them here on student visas? How is this
making America a better place? Having people like Mahmoud Khalil,
Assyrian national isis sympathizer here in Colombia. Is Columbia richer
because of his presence? I would clearly argue you know,
(13:00):
our coal higher ed system is totally inflated anyway, Imagine
if costs would come down if there wasn't the competition
from all these foreign nationals.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, and have you looked at how much money Columbia
University is worth?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I was just trying to look it up. Here, I
had the number in front of it. They have.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Okay, here we go. Their endowment is fourteen point eight
billion dollars. The way that Donald Trump was able to
get Columbia University to make their campus safer for Jewish students, supposedly,
that's what they're saying, was to take away federal funding.
And wait a second, why does a college with an
endowment of fourteen point eight billion dollars need federal fund?
(13:38):
Why are we giving them money in the first place.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So we give them money, and a lot of that
is disguised as grants programs. Right. We need people to
study the migratory pats patterns of ground hogs and butterflies,
right exactly, So they go to the Columbia University School
of Butterflies. Boy, imagine the students in that program and
they give them a grant to do this, right, And
so I I get it to a certain extent. But
(14:01):
if you have fourteen billion dollars in the bank, you're
charging what eighty thousand dollars per student. Even if you're
not charging that student, you're getting the money somehow in
appel grant. Right, So you're getting that eighty thousand dollars,
whether it's from the taxpayers, whether it's you're getting that money,
you're still getting How much money is in this program
seems that there's a lot of money. There's a lot
(14:22):
of money in a system that we talk about how
our students are graduating with so much debt. Where the
hell's the money going? But it's the same as the
American federal government. We have thirty six trillion dollars in debt,
and yet everyone seems to have five hundred thousand dollars grants,
five million dollars. Stacey Abrams got two billion dollar grants.
We have a huge fiscal irresponsibility program that's so pervasive.
(14:42):
We've just begun to scratch the surface. And I think
the powers that be, the crazy left, they're the recipients
of it. And that's why they're so angry at what
Elon and Doze is doing, because he's taking away their lifeblood.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Could you imagine that losing the governorship is probably the
greatest thing to ever happen to Stacy Abrams? Yeah, two
point eight billion dollars in funding for her NGOs that
she's affiliate.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
If you tell me I lost an election, but don't worry,
your consolation prize will be billions of dollars in funding
for your pet projects create I don't want to be governor.
Does the governor even have that kind of money to
spend in the state budget?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, I can't imagine that Columbia has. I don't know
what George's revenue is, Brian. Two billion is a lot
of money, and for perspective, Colombia is revamping its policies,
doing something it really does not want to do, which
is protect Jewish students, and they're doing that for four
hundred million. Stacy Abrams got over two billion. Think of
(15:39):
how much money too. If you knew a guy who
had two billion dollars, you'd be the happiest person in
the world. Two billion dollars is an absurd amount of money,
and Stacy Abrams got it with no history in the space,
no board, no employees, no office building, no website, no,
no mission statement, no nothing, just to said I'm gonna
help tackle climate change.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Okay, here's two billion dollars one of the ways. I mean, obviously,
this is not how I would have done it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
As a libertarian Republican and a free market capitalist. I
would not have thought of tariffs as a way as
a negotiating tool. I would not have thought of withholding funding.
He just does things. That being said, there's more than
one way to skin a cat. I like what the
results were getting. It's the way Trump governs. Not what
I would have done, but I don't. I certainly like
it a lot more than what the other option would
(16:26):
have been. But he made a point recently that blew
my mind. We've been at war now for three years,
a proxy war with Russia, which is crazy because we're
still they're still involved in space exploration with us. We're
still technically allies technically, right, but okay, we're funding a
war with Russia. And Trump made this point recently. He said,
(16:49):
if they want me to keep giving money to Zelenski,
the European Union has to stop buying oil from Russia.
It was like, well, wait a second, three years, we're still.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Giving the money. Yeah, we're still giving them a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Who almost everyone in NATO, almost who, France, Germany, Italy.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
NATO, NATO.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
The very people that are mad that we're not doing
enough for Ukraine are funding Russia's side of the war.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Daniel, How could that be true?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It's one of those things that is so absurd that
when you explain it to people, it's almost.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Hard to believe, in hard to fathom.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
People said I was lying about this when I did
a video on exactly because that's the only response, because
you like, this can't possibly be true.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So when the war broke out, all the European leaders
and Joe Biden made this proclamation that they were gonna
have an embargo on Russian oil and gas, not gonna
buy it anymore. Well, these countries all need oil and gas,
as does America need oil and gas. So what Russia
did is they said, great, we'll sell our oil and
gas the countries like Turkey or the Koreans will sell
(17:55):
it to India, and then India will sell it again
up charged to the Italian, to the French, to the Germans,
to the Brits, and so that's why also their prices
are so much higher they're paying for the service to charge.
So India and all those countries are making money, and
Russia's making as much money as it did from the
very beginning. There's not this idea that Russia has this
(18:15):
huge stockpile of oil and gas and Putin's they're like, oh, no,
one's buying my girl scout cookies. Right, Like, it's not stockpiling.
It is being sold, but it's being sold to intermediaries,
and the Europeans are buying it. President Trump made the
point that the European Union, the EU has spent more
buying Russian oil and gas than they've given an aid
to Ukraine to fight Russia. So the European Union is
(18:39):
funding the war. The European Union is funding with their
purchase of oil and gas. They're funding Vladimir Putin. How
dare they look at us and say, President Trump doesn't
believe in democracy, you're the ones who are funding the
Russian army.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah about it.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
It's been three weeks at this point since Zelenski visited
the Oval Office, and famously there was that little tiff
between him and JD. Vance, And immediately all these European
leaders come out and go, we support Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
We support Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
No, you're the ones that are given the money to
Russia to keep the war going. Sit down, shut up,
and we'll try to end the war without your help.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
You're listening to the Pursuit of Happiness radio. I guess
it's not available in Canada.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
California is the most popular state for alien abductions, probably
because the tractor beam can't lift anyone in Arkansas. I
would assume. I don't know how does it work. It's confusing. Meanwhile,
this just came in. We just learned about this, guys.
Breaking news in the world of entertainment. The longtime drummer
for Guns n' Roses has just quit the band. He's
(19:43):
tired of being an Axle Roses shadow.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
And if.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
That, Joe tells itself does because he's fat. Aug I
didn't even get to say it, did I you already
know that you know the punchline before I say it.
I want to talk about the entertainment industry a little bit.
Speaking of shadows. Rosie O'Donnell was on TV in Ireland
and I have a habit on this radio show when
(20:08):
I play a SoundBite of something from the news that
I find to be interesting. I like to pause the
parts that are interesting. And the problem with the SoundBite
is everything she says. Every single thing she says in
the sixty second clip fifty five second clip is jaw
droppingly stupid. This is a great reminder of how we're
(20:29):
not all watching the same news, We're not all getting
the same objective truth. Listen to what she says here
when asked about the election of Donald Trump on a
talk show in Ireland.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You know a lot of people did vote for him, Yes,
Do you accept their right to do that in their
opinion of them?
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Well, I respect their right to do that. I question
why the first time in American history a president has
won every swing state and is also best friends and
his largest owner was a man who owns and runs
the Internet. So I would hope that that would be
investigated and that we would see whether or not it
was an anomaly or something else that happened on election
(21:11):
night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums
with people who supported her and Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Was not able to do that. Like Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It's remarkable that you know, before we even go into
her comments, there's now a new third period of poor
Irish history. Right, there was Oliver Cromwell and the disillusion
of the monasteries. There was Victoria who starved them during
the Potato femine, and now there's Rosio O'Donnell. So the
third level of Irish persecution has begun into my Irish
(21:42):
ancestors there in County Kerry.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I'm sorry for what America has done to you.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I had wondered about immigrating to Ireland because they just
took her in and I do you understand it's easy
to get to Ireland, right because there's all these illegal
immigrants and people from Africa and Muslim countries. So we've
been led to believe that anyone could just go there
and become a citizen. Turns out no, only if you're
from a marginalized country with poor this and that.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Disin France, yes they'll take you.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Otherwise, if you're a white person, you've got to have
an Irish last name.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Did you know that there are lots of programs if
you have European grandparents or great grandparents. They are desperate
for their ancestors to come back because they don't want
their countries filled with North Africans and Middle Eastern. But
so if you are, my grandparents are from both Ireland
and Italy, so I could in theory apply for EU citizenship.
(22:32):
But you should see the amount of paperwork. You can't
just walk in and say, you know, my grandmother was
born in County Kerry, can I be a citizen. It's like, well,
let's prove all of this. But if you're from Syria
and you're twenty two years old and you're wearing the
nicest flag, come right on in and we'll put you
in a hotel in Dublin.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
And that's the craziest thing. And that's just how it is.
That's how it is in Ireland right now. Anyway, this
sound by this video clip of Rosy O'Donnell is fascinating
to me for so many reasons because she's a supposed
to be a well educated person on the left. She's
a respected thought leader on the left who believes the
election was rigged. Yes, and Elon Musk controls the Internet,
owns it owns the Internet.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
And then also and then this weird.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Belief that like Trump wasn't able to get people to
go to rallies, Trump filled Madison Square Garden. Do you
guys get Kamala couldn't do that. That's why they did
a rally at Carnegie Hall. Do most people know that well?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And the other thing that the stadiums that she did
fill is because they flat out lied and said Beyonce
is going to be there, and so one hundred thousand
people probably did show up, and then Beyonce walked out
on the stage and said vote for Kamala, and she
walked out and people were like, I thought she was
gonna sing a little something for us. So they did
have to lie. I mean, they had to do that
(23:44):
to get their numbers up. The largest rally of the
twenty sixteen cycle was the Hillary Clinton rally the night
before the election. It was at Penn State Rappy Valley, right,
Penn State has eighty thousand students, I think. But the
lineup was Katie Perry, it was Beyonce, it was a
bon Jovi, it was Bruce Springsteen. Even if I was
(24:04):
a college Republican at Penn State, I would have been like, hell, yeah,
I'm going to go to that free concert.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Go check it out. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So that's how if Kamala filled her stadiums, that's how
she did it. But the rallies that she did though,
or it was just Kamala and Tim. You know, one
hundred people, five hundred people would be showing up.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
But if you added everyone up. See here's the thing
they won't tell you.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
In the last month of the election, you could look
at the schedules for all these all four of the candidates, right,
Trump doing three rallies a day, three different states.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
JD Evans three rallies a day, two different states.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Tim Walls same thing, probably traveling to two different states,
three rallies a day. Kamala Harris one rally a day.
Now that no one would say that out loud, but
we all knew it was going on. It was in
the media. Ever, you could make this argument like, oh,
men work harder than women are.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
That wasn't even the point.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
The point was Kamala was available less than Trump was,
so when she was available, if you were interested in her,
it's like basic supply and demand. You want to go
to a Kamala Harris rally, there's one place to go.
You want to go to a Trump rally. There's three
things you can go to today, six if you count JD.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, and how disingenuous she was you saw a lot
of those mashups where her speech wasn't just exactly the same,
her gesturing was the same, her voice inflection, so she
had practiced in front of a mirror. This is the
speech I give for these couple of days. Didn't matter
if she was in Georgia, didn't matter if she was
in matt Michigan. It was the same speech. Now, Trump,
I'm shore had a stum speech as well, but boyo boyded.
(25:29):
He talked to the local people and asked their local
officials and local topics as well.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
The other thing that Rosie.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Said, which is just so historically dumb, that he's the
first president to ever win every swing state.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Does she not know about Nixon, Reagan ray election.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Reagan's reelection one every state except for Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Every state, Yeah, the swing states. I have to go
back and look at Clinton ninety six. I'm sure the
swing states were different back then. I don't know if
Clinton's re election won. I know it was a bloodbath.
Dol didn't stay in a chance, But I don't know
if Clinton won every quote unquote swing state. I don't
think Barack Obama even won every swing state, but he
(26:08):
may have. He won a good number of them. But
I don't even know if we called him swing states
back then. But if you're just going election by election,
this narrative is immediately eliminated. In the first ever presidential election,
George Washington, It's.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Like, come on, lady, that can't be. You can't be
that stupid. Is the first president to win every a
swing state? No, that wasn't even the first time during your.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Lifetime, lady. This is how out of touch they are.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know, how to do what you do for a living,
or what I do for a I listen to NPR,
I watch CNN, I look at the Huffington Post. That's
part of the job. It's not just sitting around all
day watching Fox News. I'm on the radio all day long.
You know, we're on social media all You can't just
look at right wing conservative media.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't think Rosie O'Donnell is looking at anything except
for far left media.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
In order for her to reach those.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Conclusions, every swing state kamala is filling stadiums and Trump
couldn't get anyone to go to a rally, Like what
is she talking about? Imagine living through multiple Trump assassination
attempts and not thinking there was anybody at the rally.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah yeah, imagine getting to the end of the twenty
twenty four cycle and not even thinking Trump has a
chance like being so of course you think your team
is gonna win, right, And if you're on the Democrat ticket,
if you work in for Kamala Harris, it is your
job to tell people we've got it, as did the
Trump people, But both of them knew there was a
chance that it could go the opposite way, but they
(27:32):
were so convinced. And that's the thing that's ultimately where
Trumps arrangement syndrome is born, and the hatred for Trump
from every judge, every politician, the hatred of Trump is
born on election Day in twenty sixteen, when they were
so convinced Hillary had it that they've never forgiven him
for it. That's the only reason why they hate him
is because the New York Times said ninety two percent.
(27:54):
Every pundit was laughing. They were popping champagne that morning
Election morning, like we didn't even have to make an effort.
The Democrat ticket and her entire staff, Robbie Mook were
popping champagne because we just got to get to the
end of the day because we have this done. Their
hatred for Donald Trump stems from the fact that they
think they were entitled to an easy victory and he
took it from them by working harder and by appealing
(28:16):
to a larger audience than Hillary Clinton, and they've never
forgiven him for it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah. I don't understand people who will defend everything Trump does,
even when it's something you were against a few years ago.
Like Trump, A lot of Trump supporters were against more
stimulus checks at the beginning of the Joe Biden administration,
and then earlier this year, I found myself on Twitter
arguing with people over whether or not a five thousand
dollars stimulus check was going to be A guy.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I was like, I don't think it's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Guys, they're like, oh, that's because you hate Trump, or
it's like, no, I just don't think we should spend
more money.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But I really don't understand people that hate Trump no
matter what he's doing. Taxpayer funded IVF. You guys went
around telling everybody he was going to outlaw IVF. He's
getting the government to pay for it, aren't you thrilled. No,
they're not thrilled.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
They don't get it.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
It's like Rosie O'Donnell really doesn't get it. They're out
of touch, and that's why they probably don't understand this.
Here's a report today from hot air dot com. I
was just looking at I was actually an awfl study.
Democrats' long term strategy for electoral dominance has always depended
on three demographic groups minorities, young workers, union workers. Right,
(29:24):
young people are not loving Democrats anymore overwhelmingly. You see
this report now in the New York Times today. Suddenly
Democrats are getting destroyed on gen Z voters, especially men.
Gen Z men are mostly entirely conservative, and there's probably
a good explanation for why that's true. But before we
get to any of it, here is CNN's Van Jones,
(29:46):
kind of like Bill Mari's one of the people on
the left. You wish more people on the left would
listen to. If progressives have a politics, it says.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
All white people are racist, all men are toxic, and
all billionaires are evil.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
It's kind of hard to keep him on your side. Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
One in three black men in Texas voted for Trump
thirty three percent of black man. Now that might not
seem like a lot. We're even seeing that kind of
numbers in the Republican Party since like the mid twentieth century, Daniel.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
That's phenomenal, it really is.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
And the difference between this current Democrat Party and the
Democrat Party of not long ago, of which Van Jones
was part of. Right, he was a key advisor to
Barack Obama his entire presidency and his two thousand and
eight campaign.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Obama at least campaigned as someone who cared about everybody.
He governed very differently right.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Once in office, he was a divisive race, baiting anti
everything Van Jones just said. But he was smart enough
on the campaign trail to pretend that he cared about
that audience. Today's Democrat Party can't even pretend they care
about that audience. They go out of their way to
say we don't want them, we don't want their vote,
we don't want them as part of this tent. Well, okay,
(30:55):
so you're left with the leftovers, and the leftovers, you
can't make a right sandwich sometimes out of the leftovers.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
So have you seen this guy on YouTube?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
There's a really good on the street reporter named no
Cap on God and he always plays a character, kind
of like he's Borat or Bruno. He's not Sasha Baron Collin,
but that's what he's doing. He's doing characters. He went
to the Democrat National Convention last summer and he met
Jerry Nadler and he asked Jerry Nadler in like a
very feminine gay voice. He said, he was like, why
(31:25):
can't we raise taxes on straight gay men or straight
white men?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
And Jerry Nadler said, well, if we win this election,
we can.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And a friend of mine was having this conversation with me,
why don't white men vote for Democrats? Why don't men
vote for Democrats? And I mentioned this clip. I showed
him the clip. My friend says to me, but Kenny,
that's a comedy video. Jerry Nadler didn't know it was
a comedy video. Jerry Nadler thought he was talking to
a real on the streets reporter and it ended up
it ended up as the punchline to a comedy. But
(31:54):
Democrats really think this, and then they wonder, well, why
won't people vote against their own self interest? Because I
don't want my family to suffer because of some guilt
that my grandfather felt.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, and when you have no course set of principles,
you're just you're just lustful for power, which most Democrat
elected officials are a lot of elected officials on Republican side,
but that is the only principal Democrats have now is
the position to lust for power. You find yourself saying
these things that are just so insane. So Jasmine Crocker,
for example, Crockett, I forget, which is you know, just
(32:27):
just got a warning from the Attorney General's office because
she says, we got to take out elon Musk, We've
got to take him down.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
How do you get to the stage of your political
career that you dislike this man so much that you
say these things on the record. How do you dislike
one group of which in theory Jerry Nadler is part
of one demographic so much because they don't vote for you,
that you're willing to say we need to tax them
more than we tax other folks. That just the lust
for power makes you absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Yeah, that you'll say the craziest thing even And isn't
Jerry Nadler a white guy like you?
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Theory? You know?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
All right, Well to your point, the Jasmine Crockett thing.
Before we break here, we got to talk about this.
I think this is the new leader of the Democrat
part hundred percent because it's not Bernie. Yep, it's not Bernie.
Sanders has got a problem. He was pro gunned for
way too long. They used that against him the last
time he ran for president. It might be AOC I
don't know, though she's trying to scale it down lately.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
It's not Elizabeth Warren. It sure is crap. Not Tim Walls.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
We'll talk about him in a little bit, but real quick,
here's Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Just in case the slow people listening decide to click
this up later. I just want to say that I
have never promoted violence whatsoever. Yet I've also never made
excuse for those violent actors, such as the ones on
January sixth. So, Pam Bonnie, if you have an issue
with terrorism, maybe you should talk to your boss about
(33:50):
locking back up those guys.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
All right.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
So I don't think most people thought that anyone on
January sixth shouldn't be punished. The question became sh they
sit in at jail cell for March for nine months
without anybody pressing charges against him. But all that being said,
you know, this isn't about what happened yesterday. It's about
what's going on today. And what is going on today
is that people are firebombing Tesla dealerships, and Jasmine Crockett
(34:16):
seems to be cheering it off.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
On March twenty ninth, it's my birthday and all I
want to see happen on my birthday is for Eli
to be taken down.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Yes, listen, it.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Sounds an awful lot like she's calling for violence. To me,
I don't know what do you think?
Speaker 4 (34:32):
You know?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
And this is this is again what I was saying.
This is the lust for power and the lust for
the spotlight. And Jasmin Crocker just wants to be popular
and famous. You know, she's watched the Bernie Sanders is
the AOCS and she wants to be part of that train,
and she realizes being the most outrageous possible is the
way to do it. But she is an elected member
of Congress and she's supposed to at least somehow tone
(34:54):
down the rhetoric. Remember the very first day of Congress
January third of this year, when Hakeem Jeffrey's saying, we
need to make this call for bipartisanship.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
I remember it.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
It was ten years ago exactly. Yeah, we need to
tone down the rhetoric. We need to work together. There's
no desire for any of them to do that because
there's just too much lust for power.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
And it's sad.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Jasmin Crockett could be a leader of her party, but
she's she's not too dumb, she's she's.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Just too self involved.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
She's too proud of her position, of her growing popularity,
and she's too desperate for fame and attention that now
she's becoming insane.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
You know what she's becoming.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
She's becoming Kim Kardashian, who the second her fame dwindles,
she's like, what naked thing can I put in my button?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Now? Like what my photo shoot? Can I do? How
can I?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
And then you see it on the headlines, Kim Kardashian
strips down nude with a Boa constrictor. It's like, of
course she is because she was out of the headline
for a second. That's what Jasmin Crockett is doing. She's
doing the most outrageous thing possible to always stay on
the news.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
By the way, speaking of Jasmine, Crockett and Elon Musk.
It was revealed recently, you know, as taxpayers were required
to pay for their car rentals. They're releasing a car
in Washington DC. Her car, according to this report that
just came out ninety nine dollars and ninety six cents
per month NAS car. The car that she's renting out.
That's a nice car. That's a nice car. It's a
(36:14):
luxury car. According to what a lot of people speculate.
That's the exact amount of money in Washington, d C.
It would cost to rent a Tesla Model S, which
I don't know if you've heard about this, but apparently
that a car company isn't it's not owned by Steve Jobs.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
A.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Star cousin. Right here, I'm it's ha work to host
the show with a couple of knucklehears.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Can Western ga Oh, we're back from break Creeting's kids.
Over the weekend, we finally got a taste of snowwoke
Reason dot com. I don't always agree with Reason dot
com on everything, but I find their reviews and analysis
things to be very interesting, especially when it's economic information.
They went out and they watched Snow White, the new
(37:04):
Snow White movie, and they pointed out, this isn't even
that it's woke. They called it straight up socialists. They said,
the new snow it's a socialist version of Snow White.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Interestingly enough, for Rachel Zegler, most people didn't know who
this woman was before she starred in this movie.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
I didn't know who she was.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
The controversy with Snow White has gone on now for
it feels like it's been happening for years at this point.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
It started off.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
With Peter Dinklice telling people he was disgusted at the
thought of Disney doing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
So Disney said, no to worry, We'll hire tall people
to play the Dwarfs.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
And then that upset people.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
So then they got cgi Dwarves, and somehow that wasn't
even the most controversial part of all this. Rachel Zegler,
the star of the show of the movie, comes out
and tells people, Snow White's weird. We've all seen that video.
I won't waste time right now.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Snow White's weird.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
It's about the patriarchy and a guy and the mail gaze,
and it's a weird movie.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
It's snow White was a masterpiece.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
It was considered to be one of the greatest pieces
of art in the early twentieth century in film that
ever existed. It's weird how people on the left, especially
young people, can't look at anything from the past through
the lens of the past. They can only look at
it by modern day standards. They don't understand Christopher Columbus.
They can't understand the need to keep up old statues.
They don't get it. Rachel Zegler doubles down on this
(38:25):
by actually going out and saying she wants she wishes
violence on Trump supporters. She doesn't like Israel, even though
she's co starring in a movie with a woman who's
a proud Israel activist, Gal Gado. She said she doesn't
think she's getting paid enough for the movies. She should
get paid for every second that someone watches on a
streaming service.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
I'm going to stand there for eighteen hours in a
press of an iconic Disney princess. I deserve to be
savor for every hour it.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Is stream She deserves to be paid for every hour. Well,
as it turns out so far, that would mean that
she owes Disney money because they're losing a lot of
cash right now on them. But then there was this
little doozy. She just couldn't stop saying dumb things. Here's
another one. And to everyone.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Who hates when I win, the.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Winged victory came to the Louver in pieces and people
still line up to see her.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
And I can only help.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
That despite my flaws, and despite my craps and my brakes,
and there are many of them, got at every premiere
and everything I do.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
I'm sure she's about to make a great point, but
I'm gonna cut her off right now. Isn't it weird
how rich, beautiful people who are rich and famous and
get everything they want still insists that we feel sorry
for them.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
They still want to be victims. How do they do it?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
She's such a victim. She has the most difficult life imaginable.
It's remarkable, the self indulgence. It's remarkable that if she
would call herself an artist, right because everyone in hollywoo
It is an artist. It's amazing that as an artist
she could look at other people's art with such disdain
that she not only needs to fix it or rectify it,
(40:10):
that she it's anathema. It has to be absolutely erased
from our collective memory. And that's what she did with
the original snow White. Those artists made it back in
the day, those animators who worked by the way, by hand,
right there were no computers doing that. Who did the sound,
who did the music, who did the what about their
art doesn't deserve a place in our cherished history. But no,
not when you're Michelle Zunkler, whatever her name is, Like,
(40:32):
I don't even know who the hell this girl is,
and yet she is now in charge of interpreting what
was once a great part of American cinematography, cinema photographic history.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
It's always, at any.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Time in my adult life, when I look at what
people in Hollywood are mad about, it's always so detached
from reality.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
And to really.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Emphasize that point right now, Rachel Zegler wants you to
feel sorry for her because she's being judged for her
opinions on Palestine or whatever. But meanwhile, here in the
United States, how in California, in the state where I
assume she lives, because she works in Hollywood, We're watching
on the screen right now, video footage from a CVS pharmacy.
We're not just the pharmaceuticals, not just the hygienic products.
(41:14):
Everything in the store is under lock and key, everything
refrigerated goods, food, potato, chips, and shampoo, anything walking around
the store.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
How does it get this bad? Danie'll explain to someone
in Hollywood what.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
It's like to walk into a CVS pharmacy just to
buy goods for your house, and you need to get
an employee that works there to unlock everything, because that's
how bad it is in your community.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
But you know what, She's not doing it, and that's
the big difference, right, And this is kind of what
the ethos of power of the future is. People like
her make these decisions, they advocate for these policies, but
they're not affected by it. It's the same as the
climate change people who say we need to shut down
this cold plant in Longview, Texas. Well, you don't live
in Longview. It's not your job that's on the line,
it's not your utility rates that are going to go up,
(42:00):
so you don't really care about your position. And it's
the same when it comes to these criminal justice reforms.
Rachel will send it an assistant who she probably be
rates because the guy took so long to buy whatever
product that she wanted at the store and probably throws
things at her right. We hear all the time about
politicians and actors and actresses who throw things at their
(42:21):
production assistance and their personal assistance.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
She's probably an awful person to work with. I would
imagine you absolutely abuse have to be. Here's another example
of how out of touch they are right now. I
couldn't believe this was a real thing. I saw this
at the end of last week. Daniel New York Times
headline right now door Dash announces buy now, pay later
partnership with Klarna. I'm sorry people are financing meals. DoorDash
(42:47):
will let users buy now pay later for fast food.
CNN is saying this is a very worrying sign for
the economy.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Yeah, I would think that it would be.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
If you can't afford to have a meal delivered to
you right now, don't get the meal, Like, in what
scenario would this be reasonable? You don't have any money now,
you're starting a new job on Friday, and you need
to clear out your condo, but you need to eat,
so you can't afford to go out and buy food.
What very specific scenario would this situation of buying a
(43:19):
meal now and paying for it later actually not be alarming.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah, it's it's insane. Why is this any different though,
than your credit card? Like, if you use door Dash,
don't you just put it on your credit card? You
don't pay cash when the guy shows up with your food.
So why do you need to have a different program
to set because you're maxed out.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
On your credit card? Yes, yes, I assume that's it.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, so not only are we probably eating onhealthily because
we're having food delivered. And by the way, and I've
done door Dash when I'm in the city, I can't
where I live in the country and nothing delivers time.
Speaker 4 (43:49):
I get things delivered all the time.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
I'm not judging, no, no, no, But but if you
can't afford to pay for it, then you probably shouldn't
be able to buy it. It's kind of the argument
that we're having with the Snap and should you be
able to use Snap with sodas Snap for candy? And
again it's this larger government entitlement program that has made
people fat, unhealthy, lazy.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
And now entitled Daniel, we're.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Up against a clock here, But I could talk about
that for an hour. Yeah, I had the libertarian in me.
I cannot believe there are libertarians right now making the argument, no,
don't let the government tell you what to spend the
money on.
Speaker 4 (44:25):
You don't need Coca cola, you don't need twinkies.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
If this is money for food, and liberals and people
on the left are making the argument, oh it's healthy,
food's too expensive, well then why on earth would you
be allowed to use your food stamps to go out
and buy Cheetos. That's insanity. It should not be fun
to be on food stamps. We should create a system
where we encourage people to get off of it.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
I'm Kenny Webster.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I want to make my buddy Daniel Turner Powerthefuture dot
com follow him Daniel is it Daniel Turner PTF.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
