Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Jiganic government sucks. Sue of Happiness Radio is Deluxe.
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile for Sue of Happiness.
Us on your radio, Toyle Justice, Cheeseburgers, lib Rise at Food.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, Hi, greetings kids.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
A new study claims there are billions more people on
Earth than we previously thought. Another reason for Elon Musk
to start using prophylactics. Thanks for turning on the radio.
I'm Kenny Webster. You're you and joining us. At the
end of the broadcast will be stand up comedian Tim
mathis with the latest.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
From Hollywood, so hang around for that. That'll be good.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
We're live streaming on social media today while we broadcast
on the radio. So if I if you're enjoying the
show in audio format and I reference a visual aid
and it's confusing to you, that's probably why I'll try
to do that. But I just like to put that
out there before we start in case anyone gets confused. So, okay,
sometimes I'll be talking about things that you'll be listening

(01:08):
to on the air. Everybody get that, You get it, okay?
US authorities. The New York Post today. I love the
New York Post. The New York Post is a funny
way of writing stories. They're just the bat youths and
brutes and beauties and they always have funny words to
use to describe people involved in news story.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
So anyway, the New York.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Post reports today that US authority is arrested an illegal
brute and top MS thirteen boss for the East Coast,
one of the top three in the entire country.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Pretty big deal.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
They found him in Virginia and this is among the
three hundred and forty criminals in the past month have
been arrested. And you know, Pam Bondi is already working
hard telling Fox News viewers about what's going on, not
really doing anything so much.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's just appearing on TV. But she's pretty, so that's great.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Very few details have yet been explained in the operation,
but it involved, it was a collaborate effort. It was
a multiple agencies, all the different alphabet agencies involved here, FBI, ICE,
ATF and NKOTB and all the other good ones. So
really exciting news. And then on top of that, we
have just received this report. I'm like a lot of you,

(02:13):
I'm not a big fan of judges stepping in the way.
Activist judges stepping in the way, especially like regional appellate
judges trying to tell Donald Trump what he can and
can't do when it comes to national security. That's a
bit infuriating. But we had a big win here today.
In fact, I have a video of this to share

(02:34):
with you guys. The Trump administration announced today that federal
authorities had arrested I'm sorry, we just did this story.
I thought we had an update on the judge. Maybe
I'm mistaken here. Big victory. Well, anyway, it's a huge victory.
Here is Caroline Levitt with some of the details about
what we just learned. Let me throw that video up
on the I enjoy looking at her. I don't know

(02:54):
why we need two Caroline Levitz. We already have Caroline Levitt.
What do we need Pam Bondi for right, Harry Blossoms
are here.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
It's beautiful. You guys saw the big news this morning
about an MS thirteen ring leader who was arrested, and
it will now be removed from that community in Virginia.
This is a big win for the American public, and
the President is very proud of Attorney General Bondi and
the FBI Director Cash Patel, and they worked alongside Governor
Youngkin in Virginia. So we applaud the effort of state

(03:22):
and local law enforcement.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
You guys know, when you watch me or listen to
my radio show, I'm I'm not going to cheerlead for
the Republicans all the time. I mean, I'll tell you
when they're doing something. I like, what did Pam Bondi do?
Come on, what did she do? Tell me what she did?
You know, Cash Pattel, I believe that. I believe Tom
Holman played a role here, absolutely, But what point are
we going to pretend Pam Bondy's would you remember that

(03:44):
scene in office space?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
What would you say you do here? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
If Pam Bondi was in charge of leading an effort
to go out and arrest these this illegal, this MS
thirteen gang member, then what did Cash Pateel do?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
What did Tom Holman do?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Right?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
And then who's the other one? Christy Nome? You guys
watched Chrissy.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Nome in that footage of her visiting the El Salvador
prison yesterday. You know what it reminded me of. It's
that scene from Silence of the Lambs. No, not the
one where he's naked in front of the camera listening
to a new wave music. Now, when Jodi Foster's character
is walking through the prison and all the guys are
behind the bars telling her they could smell her feminine

(04:22):
odor or whatever to you gotta wonder, Chrissy Nome. I mean, look,
I'm just saying she's a beautiful woman and there's a
lot of creepy guys in that prison. Has everybody everybody
seen the footage at this point, right, I'm sure if
you if you've never seen it before, and I assume
that you have, it almost looks like a holding cell.
That's what's so confusing about this. Let me put one

(04:43):
of these up on the screen for people to look
at it. The prison's in l Salvador. I love that
bou Kelly gets along with Donald Trump, the leader of
El Salvador.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
We have this. Oh good, there's an ad for Dell
on the screen. Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
I love what Reuter's anyway, just explaining out loud what
we're looking at here. They cram all these guys inside
of a prison cell, and I would have assumed this
was a holding cell. It looks like a scene out
of a movie. Where they're taking people from the drunk
tank to go see the night court judge or something like.
That's not what's happening here. These guys live like this

(05:17):
their whole life. They spend their whole life in this room,
cram together, no pillow, no mattress, and American liberal activists
want you to feel sorry for them. I don't understand
why their faces are covered in MS thirteen gang tattoos.
If you get a trend a arragua tattoo on your forehead,
you're a bad guy, right. I was like, what about

(05:38):
the do process? What about the MS thirteen he had
tattooed across his forehead.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's a choice.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's a decision that you make, and when you make
that decision, you are making the decision to be treated
like a criminal, which is exactly what happened there. I
couldn't imagine beautiful Caroline Levitt with the with the MS
thirteen tattoo on her forehead. But all that being said,
we know we needed this, We understand how dangerous it
is in this country right now after four years of

(06:05):
Joe Biden and millions and millions of illegal immigrants in
the country. Not surprisingly, a shockingly large fraction portion of
those people are criminal illegal immigrants. And one of the
things that bothers me so much about this judge Bosberg,
guy who, by the way, was just assigned to the
Signal Gate case.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm going to talk about Signal Gate in a minute.
We'll get to that.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I know you all have thoughts about it, and I'm
sure you know I do as well. But this is
a guy that ignores statutory laws. The federal judge involved
in that case is a regional appellate court cut judge
is basically issuing a ruling that appears to contradict or
reinterpret immigration laws, laws passed by Congress, laws that have

(06:45):
existed for a long time, in some cases hundreds of years,
and the judges have increasingly used nationwide injunctions to block
immigration enforcement. That's exactly what happened here. Why have the laws,
why have Congress? Why would a local judge step in
the way and decide that he was going to get

(07:05):
involved in a case that affects national security because not shockingly,
his daughter is in fact involved in one of these NGOs,
these non government organizations. It collects a lot of money
going out and helping out criminal illegal aliens. Do you remember,
at the beginning of the Biden administration, we learned that
there was an NGO. This is when a lot of
people learned about NGOs for the first time and the

(07:26):
role that they play in skating around the federal laws,
particularly involving immigration, but other things as well. One of
these NGOs was down at the border handing out caprice,
suns and lunchables to the illegals while they walk over
the border, and then giving them a copy of Kamala
Harris's book. Who was buying Kamala Harris's book? Apparently NGOs

(07:46):
funded by USAID or the federal government, not always USAID,
and which means you were paying for it. It means
you were paying people to hand out Kamala's book at
the border. And if that doesn't piss you off, I
don't know what else to say. But this guy trying
to block deportation orders and individual exhausting legal appeals cost
US millions of dollars. It's one more reason why thank

(08:08):
god Donald Trump won the election. If it's this bad
right now with unelected officials getting involved in immigration issues
that endanger your family, imagine what it would have been
like right now.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
If Kamal had won.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
This is Binney Santhus and you are listening to the
Pursuit of Happiness radio.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Now give me all of your money, because that's the
only thing that's fair.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, we're back back from what you're probably wondering. A
lot of you were watching me on social media. I
never went anywhere, but if you're listening on the radio,
we are back, so thank you so much. Candy sales
hit a record fifty four billion dollars last year. Now
you know why your dentist wears a Rolex. That's the
reason why he's got it. And did you guys see
this thing about door dash? How bad is it right now?

(08:52):
I know we talked about this on the show before,
but it's worth bringing up again. Interest rates are so
absurdly high over the last few year. Credit card debt
is out of control. This isn't an ad for anything.
In fact, I we're told that interest rates are starting
to come down. There's some mortgage companies that are able
to work around the Federal Reserve and that would I
could explain it to you, but I don't quite understand

(09:13):
it myself, and frankly it's kind of boring.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
But I do know, the economy is so bad right now.
How bad is it? Thank you?

Speaker 3 (09:19):
The economy is so bad right now that apparently people
are financing their door dash orders. People are ordering food
on the internet and then paying it off in installments,
which is just I mean, it's so bleak, right talk
about having a black pill moment. How could any Fortunately,
inflation is coming down, I mean, no one wants to

(09:40):
talk about that.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Do you remember during the pandemic.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
All they could talk about at the beginning of the
pandemic was how there weren't enough ventilators. There weren't enough ventilators.
Donald Trump wasn't ready for the pandemic. There's not enough ventilators.
And then in the period of about two weeks he worked
with tech companies, auto companies, Tesla Ford, and he was
able to manufacture enough ventilators that within less than a

(10:03):
month there was no longer a ventilator shortage around the country.
And rather than reporting on that, they just move on
to the next crisis, right, So that's what they're doing. Now,
we've lowered the cost of eggs, fuel has come down.
You know, the tariffs aren't really affecting things as much
as they claim that they would, and granted. These tariff
wars Trump's having with foreign countries, they don't last very long.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
It's a hold your breath contest. Who can hold your
breath the longest?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Spoiler alert It's almost always the United States of America,
thank god. But anyway, so now they are clinging on
as desperately as they can to signal Gate. They don't
have anything else. And if you're wondering, you know what.
You know what signal Gate is. It's a smartphone app.
I have it on my phone and I'll show it
to you right now because I think it's worth I've
used it once. I have a friend that was selling

(10:48):
some guns and he said, you know, just for personal
security purposes, and I'll cover his name here. He said,
just message me on the signal app and I'll show
you what guns I have for sale. We weren't doing
anything illegal, obviously, That's why I'm talking about it openly
on the radio right now. But the point he was
trying to make was, you know, his privacy didn't want people.
So this is a peer to peer ENCRYPTID app, and

(11:09):
I'm going to cover out that's what it looks like.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
It looks like nothing on my phone. It's a blank screen.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
But the reason I show you that is because that's
what it looks like when you don't have a lot
of people in your signal rollodex, so to speak. I
have one name here, one buddy of mine, because I've
used the app one time. You don't have You don't
have names in there of people that you've never talked to,
at least I in my brief and short experience with

(11:33):
the app, it never added anybody. I don't get friend
requests from people on signal? Does it even work like that?
Forgive my ignorance here, but I don't think it does.
So who's to blame for the signal gate controversy? Jd
Vance and Marco Rubio and Pete hag Seth. We're having
a conversation about what to do about the healthy, hoothy
rebels in Yemen, and I love jd Vance's take on

(11:54):
this whole thing. We've talked about this before on the radio,
but I think it bears repeating. Pete hag Seth and
my Marco Rubio kind of you know, I don't really
have a lot of opinions about Pete yet.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
We'll see how he does.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Marco Rubio is from the old school Neo Khon Republican
Party and no offense. But there are many of those
guys in the state of Florida. There's many of them
in Texas as well. But Marco Rubio in this conversation
seemed like he was pretty much cool to go to
war with Yemen, which is a weird position to take.
When you're the Secretary of State, you're the top diplomatic
relations It's your job to negotiate away wars. That's what

(12:28):
Rubyo is supposed to do. And for some reason, Pete
Hagsath and Rubio didn't seem to have a problem with
bombing the houthy rebels. Jd Vance had a fantastic point.
He said, two percent of our trade comes from the
Suez Canal. Two percent. That's where part of the country
of the world that's been affected by the houthy rebels
in Yemen, and forty percent of the trade in Europe

(12:51):
comes through Suez Canal. Europe can afford to take care
of this. This is what the fact that we're doing
this to help Europe. It's one of millions of examples
of welfare that we as American taxpayers, not citizens, mind you,
but plants in a tax farm are expected to provide
to the rest of the world. Did you see the
thing about Australia this week. I'm going off topic here,

(13:13):
but this is really important. In Australia, the leader of Australia,
what do they have down there? A prime minister had
to hold an emergency meeting to talk about all the
funding they were going to lose because of budget cuts
In the United States of America, why is it that
you and I, as American taxpayers, are paying so much
money into the Australian college system with our tax dollars

(13:39):
A developed country, mind you, not a third world crap hole,
but a real country. We were paying so much money
into their system down there that they had to have
an emergency meeting to figure out what to do when
that money was pulled out from underneath them. I frankly,
I think that's the real problem. We shouldn't have been
We shouldn't be funding the whole world. The whole world
can fund itself for once. America first, for crying out loud,

(14:00):
But anyway, who's to blame? Getting back to the signal
gate thing, who is to blame for all of this?
Mike Walls has repeatedly said he's going to take the blame,
but but he doesn't understand how this happened. He doesn't know,
he says here he is with Laura Ingram earlier this week.
For those of you that haven't seen this short clip,
let's play it real quick.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
It stable and look. I take full responsibility.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
I built the I built the group to My job
is to make sure everything's coordinated.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
But that's acute.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
I mean, I don't mean to be pedantic here, but
how did the number?

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Have you ever had?

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name
and then you have an and then you have somebody else's, Right,
You've got somebody else's number on someone else's contact. So
of course I didn't see this loser in the group.
It looks okay, why is he in your contacts?

Speaker 6 (14:44):
Though?

Speaker 3 (14:45):
I'm a I'm good buddies with a restaurant clerk, a
restaurant here entrepreneur restaurant owner in the Houston, Texas area
named Morgan Weber, so a lot of you probably heard
of him if you're from southeast Texas. He's kind of
a famous restaurant guy. He owns a cool booze company
called the Marfa Spirit Company. My ex wife's name was
Morgan Webster. Now, fortunately I never once you see where

(15:07):
that's going like, it could have been bad, right, texting
More than once I've texted him when I was trying
to text her. Now, it was never like a rooster
pick or anything. God, you know, it could have been worse.
But all that being said, I go to his restaurants.
He's my buddy. We've drank and party together before. I
don't understand why Mike Waltz had Jeffrey Goldberg's number in

(15:28):
his signal. That means you needed to have a peer
to peer ENCRYPTID conversation with the guy who famously published
a fake news story detailing how supposedly Donald Trump once
called dead military veterans losers. Why was that guy in
your contact list? I don't trust Mike Waltz, is what
I'm saying. I think he's lying to us. Mike Waltz,

(15:49):
by the way, good friend of Dan Crenshaw and all
the other neo cons. If you don't believe me, look
it up. They've authored bills together before. Mike Waltz claims
he did not know this guy. Well, there is evidence
suggesting he met gold before in twenty twenty one at
an event at the French Embassy where they were photographed together.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh, you were photographed with this guy? Whoops?

Speaker 6 (16:08):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Oh, I thought you didn't know him. That's interesting. If
Waltz had Goldberg's contact information from such an encounter, his
claim of not knowing him or how he was added
could be an attempt to downplay this connection signal requires
a user's phone number, or a username or a QR
code to add someone, So for Waltz to have added Goldberg,
that would imply he had Goldberg's cell phone number. Why'd

(16:30):
you have this guy's cell phone number?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
You both work in Washington, d C. But there's a
lot of people in Washington. There's I live in Houston, Texas,
where I'm very involved in local politics and very involved
with other local media people. Some of them appear on
this radio show regularly, journalists, talk show.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hosts, activists. Guess whose cell phone numbers?

Speaker 3 (16:50):
I don't have the opposition media and political people, I
don't have their phone numbers. I don't know how to
call them. I don't know how to get a hold
of them. Why would he have had this guy's number?
Did you get what I'm saying. It doesn't make any sense.
Reports indicate here's an interesting point. Reports indicate Waltz was
the group administrator who created the HOUTHYPC small group chat
and added participants. That's what they call it. If he

(17:12):
personally initiated the group, it's plausible he intentionally or mistakenly
added Goldberg.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
That's what he claims. But I'm not buying it. I
don't believe this.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
I think either Waltz had a staff member that added him,
or he did it himself.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I think that this was sabotage. Am I wrong?

Speaker 3 (17:29):
I'm explain it. Give me a good excuse for why
it happened. So far, they have none. All they've told
us is I don't know how it happened. I know
how it happened. You're in communication with the enemy and
you got caught. We could pretend like this does because
it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of the
bigger issue. Isn't that this happened. The liberal media has
nothing else to talk about. They keep repeating signal, Gates, signal,

(17:52):
because there's nothing else going on. The economy is improving
as quickly as we want. Maybe not, but clearly moving.
The trajectory of the statistical data is clearly moving in
the right direction for things like inflation. Crime seems to
be coming down. You want to talk about the border,
that's fantastic. We're negotiating away wars. We know things are

(18:12):
getting better. Signal gate is all they have. They're desperately
clinging to it like a middle aged woman desperately clinging
on to whatever guy will take a date with her
right after her divorce because she knows her looks are
fading away.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Don't read too deeply into that analogy. That's a lot.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I look, you just such a pie hole, and keep working.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Back to the pursuit of happiness radio.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's a happiness radio, sebrating liberty and very exciting you guys.
Jeff Bezos is sending out wedding invitations.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I did not get one.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Did you guys get Did you guys get a Jeff
Bezos wedding invitation? I did not get one in the mail, sadly,
And I would love to go. I would love to
hang out with some of those people. Oprah is gonna
be there, Kim Kardashian is going to be there. It's
kind of it's a little bit like you know that
part of the movie, you know in comic book movies
where all the villains team up. I think it's gonna
look an awful lot like that. And even though this

(19:09):
isn't what I wanted to talk about, I just noticed
that was in the news today. Can we get a
picture of Bezos and his fiance on the screen real quick?
For anybody? Look at these two. Look at that. That
is true love right there. Look at this woman, the
Latina bombshell over here on the right, and then on
the left there's scrawny, awkward, pale faced, bald Jeff Bezos.

(19:32):
I'm so glad these two found each other. This is
what true love looks like. Everybody, you know full well
that these two kids were meant to be together. There's
nothing bringing them together except the fact that their souls
are unified as one. And some people think she just
loves him for the money and he just loves her
for those giant fake tatas. But I'm not buying it, guys.

(19:52):
I know true love when I see it. Okay, maybe not,
but still, you know close enough? I digress. Uh, Okay,
let's talk a little bit about what Bill Gates just did.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Bill Gates is. Oh. Bill Gates is a fun guy,
isn't he? I have a video, I have a clip
of him.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
I want to play Bill Gates' New York Post Today
reporting that Bill Gates is predicting that the advancements and
artificial intelligence will significantly reduce humanity's role in traditional tasks
like things like medicine and education for a long time.
You know, I have family members in healthcare. I have
family members in education, teachers and doctors, nurses. Principle, that

(20:28):
sort of thing you get, you understand, respectively, what those
two industries entail. Why would you need that? Is the
question that is being asked right now if AI could do.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
It for you. Bill Gates explains it in a very
pessimistic way.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
He makes it sound like this is going to destroy
jobs and nobody will be able to work anymore. No,
it's not what's going to happen. Trust me on this.
It'll be okay. Nobody needs to repair wagon wheels anymore,
and we all have a washing machine to wash our clothes.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Right.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Does that mean that now you just have hours in
your day every day where you have nothing to do. No,
the world got better new technology and advancements came along,
the economy shifted and changed, and new.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Jobs were created to replace the old.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
It'll be fine, right, I'm broadcasting right now on the
oldest radio station in Texas.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
It's over one hundred This is old radio station.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's very old, and yet somehow I still have a
job where I'm talking to people on the internet right
and the radio still exists too. So education jobs will
still exist, healthcare jobs will still exist. It's fine, But
he's Bill Gates is trying to bum everyone out. I
found when I read the article and watched some of
the interview that it sounded like he was trying to

(21:40):
scare everyone, and Bill Gates has a history of doing that.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
It would be easier for.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Me to tell you all the things I agree with
Bill Gates on than what I disagree with him on.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Bill Gates is a horrible person.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
For those of you that don't know this about me
when I was when I was a teenager, I've always
been kind of a nerdy kid. I was never great
at sports or anything like that. When I was in
the skateboard in high school, electronic music, and computers. I
was obsessed with the movie Hackers back in the nineties
and I was into programming C plus plus and Visual
Basic and getting online. And so for me, a young

(22:13):
person in the counterculture of this new cutting edge digital
technology movement in the nineties, we hated Bill Gates. We
thought he was Hitler, he was the devil, he was
Satan himself, bil Zebub, not a good guy. And liberals
agreed with that. Whether you were a libertarian or a liberal,
usually you were on You were either back in those
days in the underground computer culture bulletin boards, BBS's that

(22:36):
sort of thing, dial up modems, connecting to internet, realay
chat and IRC and that sort of thing. You were
either on the far left or you were like a
libertarian or an anarchist, which for those some of you
out there, that kind of explains my political roots. I'm
clearly not a liberal, but you know, I we hated
Bill Gates because he would do this thing in the
nineties where somebody had a tech upstart, there was new

(22:58):
exciting technology someone created, did you know, new streaming technology
for Linux or whatever it may be, and Bill Gates
would use his company to sue you to death and
steal your technology. Years later, Mike Judge made a brilliant
TV show for HBO called Silicon Valley if you've never
seen it before, where he made fun of some of
this and made fun of Bill Gates with a guy

(23:18):
that was clearly a parody of the character. And liberals
hated Bill Gates right up until the pandemic, And then
what happened. The pandemic came along and Bill Gates started
saying all the things that liberals were saying, and then
suddenly they loved him.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
They thought he was great.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Do you remember how weirdly, oddly specific the timing was
of a Netflix documentmentary about epidemics and pandemics that came
out right when the real pandemic started COVID, you know,
coronavirus is what we called it then, And all of
a sudden, right as that was happening, Netflix just suddenly
had a documentary available. I'm not suggesting it means anything.
I just thought it was weird. A lot of people did,

(23:54):
and Bill Gates was au was one of the key
characters doing common terry during the documentary, explaining to you
what to do in case of an epidemic, a pandemic,
And then suddenly all these people on left said, yeah,
listen to this guy put on masks, lock yourself in
your house, you can't gather together in a public place.
It suddenly Bill Gates was giving liberals the talking points

(24:19):
to go ahead and the authority that they needed to
do everything they ever wanted. Take away free speech, take
away the rights to gather in public places. They hate that,
you know, they say they like protests, but they really
just like riots. And it reminded me of something Bill
Gates kind of like Fauci was wrong about everything back
during the pandemic, wasn't he?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
What was he right about?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
There's this clip I found that's been going viral over
the past couple days. Here that it's not a new clip.
It's Bill Gates back during the pandemic talking about Well, here,
I'll just let him explain it to you.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Watch this.

Speaker 7 (24:51):
It's quite clear in this case that it came across
through animals, and almost all our diseases like HIV crossed
over from chimpanzees and apples forca quite some time ago.
He bowllet came from bats. This also, with one step
in between, came from bats. So it's going to keep happening,
particularly with climate change where we're invading a lot of habitats.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Stop stop, stop stop stop the clip climate change, climate change.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
There's a lot of interesting things about the clip we
all just watched and listened to. Isn't it interesting that
white liberals will blame every health problem on what everything
always stems back to climate change?

Speaker 2 (25:33):
They love that, But it's also kind of funny too.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
White liberals will tell you in one hand that like,
you shouldn't stereotype or be a racist, and then in
the other hand they'll tell you that every health related
problem we have on Earth is because Africans and Chinese
people eat dirty food. Like, which is it, white liberals,
which of those two things do you actually believe?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
You couldn't possibly believe both.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
But do you understand how silly and ridiculous that clip
is where he tells you it was bat soup that
caused the pandemic and not the Wuhan lab. Leak looked
it up before I went on the air this afternoon
because I wanted to know he.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Never corrected that.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
He's never Now we have mountains of evidence suggesting that's
not true.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
I'm so old. How old are you? Thank you, imaginary
person in the back of the room. I'm so old.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
I can remember when you would be suspended from Facebook
for suggesting that the pandemic started in the Wuhan lab.
What did John Stewart called the Wuhan coronavirus experimentation lab?
That was like that was like a mile away from
where ground zero was for the PAN And Bill Gates
has never once come out and said, you know, I

(26:35):
was wrong about that. Sorry everybody, I was wrong. There's
a reason why people on the conservative riot the libertarian
right no longer trust science. It didn't used to be
this way. What science right sign? I trust experimentation. I
trust I challenging lab reson time. I trust that that

(26:55):
is a process we should go through. But we've gone
to a point here with scientific theingt and scientific experimentation
where people on the left will tell you that some
things are just indisputable. Well, that's a lie. The entire
the entire basis for science is that everything is disputable.
You're supposed to challenge things. It didn't Again, it didn't
used to be this way. Two things really changed it

(27:16):
for the left back in the two thousands. Back in
the nineties, liberals were very critical of the chemicals in
your food. They were very critical of the pharmaceutical industry. Now,
the only thing they hate is health insurance CEOs. It's
the only thing the rest of it. Whatever you guys
want to do, feed us all the opioids and inject
us with all the weird drugs you want, they will
buy it, hook line and sinker.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
They will believe any of it.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
There's a British sociologist named Noah Carl who reported on
how the political right has seemingly lost all confidence in
the scientific community. I have a chart of this I
could put up on the screen here for you, but
I could see I'm also running out of time since
we're on the radio. The data he used came from
a general social survey, something who's reliable, would perhaps seem

(28:01):
suspect if the finding didn't also match most of anecdotal
personal experiences.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
Right.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
But more pressing here is why has almost half the
country lost belief, respect, and confidence in something as objectively
based as scientific research. And the reason why is this,
We've become smarter. I mean, I think it's safe to
assume the scientific community didn't become more ethical or moral,
nor did they become less moral or ethical. Things like

(28:27):
the pandemic or Obamacare for that matter, opened a lot
of people's eyes to the fact that sometimes these guys
just lie to you, and that's the way it is.
I mean, there are too many examples to list right now,
but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.
Before I get out of here. I always like to
end the show with a little bit of good news.
By the way, if you're listening to me on the radio,
the show's not over. We have an interview coming up

(28:48):
with Tim Mathis here from Hollywood, but for those of
you watching me streaming on live right now, I just
wanted to end the segment with this. There's a local
news station in Philadelphia that did a feature on a
Metro named Tracy Holmes Williams because she's got a great
attitude and people love her. I always love when people
work hard at a job that doesn't really seem glamorous

(29:09):
or cool, but they do it as well as they can.
This woman's philosophy is to spread joy, and she trying
to make everyone feel good because you never know what
they're going through, and that's a good point. I have
a hard time with this when I see people being
rude in public or acting like jackasses. I'm the guy
that can't keep his mouth shut. But you never really
know what that person you're arguing with outside the elevator

(29:30):
is actually dealing with. Today, here's Tracy making the point
about how I'm a monster, and she's probably right.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
We'll coming in my house. I want to greet you.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
I want you to feel good.

Speaker 8 (29:38):
I want you to have a nice time. But we're
the frontline workers, so we're going to be the first
thing that the passengers see when we come down the street.
You never know what type of the day that they
might be having, so I just try to be a
person that can make them smile. They just put the
I just try to make everybody feel good, and I
always throw up little hearts, you know, shows you know

(29:58):
I love you or whatever. They can be standing outside
and I'll just throw apart just to make them smile.
Even when my coworkers rob days, I don't know what
type of day they.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Might h I don't know what type of day they
might be having, but I'm gonna be nice to them.
I think that's a cool attitude to have, Tracy. I
admire that very much. Hey, coming up, if you're listening
to us live on the radio, Tim Math is coming up.
We're gonna go to Hollywood in a little bit, so
put on your profylactics.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
It's gonna get weird to the rest of you.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Stick around, because even though I love Tracy, I'm still
not gonna ride public transit, you know what I mean.

(30:45):
Happy birthday, Quentin Tarantino. Quentin Tarantino turned sixty two today.
He will celebrate by saying the N word in front
of his black friends. I don't know why he gets
a pass. If you want to get him a gift,
don't bother with a freakishly large forehead.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
He's all said in that department.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Is this a spoiled, pappered, narcissistic Hollywood brat or what?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Or what?

Speaker 8 (31:09):
It was?

Speaker 2 (31:09):
A Hollywood news reporter.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Now he lives in New Mexico, where he works at
a comedy club. Frankly, I think that is an upgrade,
and he comes on once a week to analyze what's
going on in the worst city in America.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
No, not Washington, d C.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
No, not New York, No, not San Francisco, No, not Portland, No,
not Austin, Okay, one of the worst cities. It's news
from Tinseltown, my friends. We start off our broadcast, well,
the report with this information. Boy Tim Tim mathis at
Tim Mathis Comedy. This is very on the nose for Disney.
A family is suing Disney after an employee allegedly recorded

(31:45):
a video up a teen girls dress. From time to
time they publish these reports about how many sex offenders
work at Disney, and it's always a lot more than
you would guess. I mean every I mean not all
the time, but when they do it, when they do
go out and audit or arrest or whatever, and awful,
what doesn't does Disney and not do background checks on
these people?

Speaker 6 (32:08):
I think they do background checks, but either they're just
not good enough or or some sometimes maybe they just
don't care, which is crazy. I think they had a
round up in Florida and there were like literally dozens
of Disney employees that got caught up in it.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
So right, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
Yeah, Yeah, like you said, this is very on brand
for Disney. It's not surprising in any way. They just
keep getting bad PR after bad PR and I think
one of their movies is currently bombing worse than Hiroshima.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
So yeah, that's yeah, we got to talk about that.
But the thing I always find so odd about this,
And I guess this question answers itself. Is it really
that hard to find good help in Central Florida?

Speaker 6 (32:53):
It shouldn't be, but Disney seems to drop the ball
constantly on that.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Okay, what is right now? You just touched on this,
what is right now?

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Supposedly the number one movie in America is also hemorrhaging money.
Now to that point, it cost a lot of money
to make, right. You could have the number two movie
and make a lot of money. You could have the
number one movie and lose money, just simply based on
basic economics. Here, the blast zone for the box office
bomb that is Snow White continues to spread. Jonah Platt,

(33:22):
the actor son of the Snow White producer Mark Platt,
is calling out Rachel Zegler, saying that her dragging her
personal politics into the middle of promotion promoting the movie
clearly hurt the film's release, besides going out and insulting
every Jew, insulting every Republican, insulting every Trump supporter, insulting Israel,

(33:42):
and then also telling you that the original Snow White
sucked and it's weird and it's not a good movie.
Basically alienated roughly half the country, not to mention anyone
that loves classic Disney movies, which I assume was the
primary demo for this film.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
Right Yeah, I don't understand why they keep alienating half
the audience right away. I mean, you already have a
Latina playing snow White, which is weird on its face.
Then you replace seven little people who all could have

(34:18):
gotten their big break. I mean, I know a lot
of little people that are actors, and they're all pretty
mad about it. So you had Peter dinklic came out
and said, we can't have any Dwarfs and snow White
and the seven Dwarfs, so they replaced them with these
horrifyingly ugly CGI characters, which of course cost more than
it would have if they would have just brought in

(34:39):
human actors, so that inflated the cost. They're going to
lose at least two hundred million dollars on this film,
which couldn't happen to a nicer group of jerks over
there at Disney, because Disney has doggedly pursued the whole
Dei thing and thrown away meritocracy and hired people like

(35:00):
Rachel Zegler four roles that she's not suited for and
then she ends up just burning down the whole movie.
So I love to see it. This is what's called
creative destruction. If Disney ends up losing a bunch of
ips and a bunch of money, it'll probably help the
film industry overall.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
I haven't looked, but I read earlier that on her
IMDb she has no upcoming projects. Imagine being the star
of the quote unquote number one movie in America. But
it's such a disaster that you haven't been hired to
be in any future films.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
Yeah, she's gonna lose a lot of work if she
already had some kind of scheduled, and I don't expect
her to be the lead in anything anytime soon. She
is talented when it comes down to it. I mean,
she's a good singer and an okay actress, But there's
just too much baggage on there, and I think this

(35:55):
might be a career killer for you know what.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
I admire what you just did there. You clearly don't
like this woman. You don't like her politics. You see,
she's given you so many reasons to dislike, and yeah,
you still complimented her. Tim you pointed out that she's
a decent actress and a decent singer.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
I admire that. I think it's important to be objective.

Speaker 6 (36:15):
Well, you have to be, you know. Like like I said,
she sees a better singer than an actress, but she is.
She's obviously talented. She just can't get out of her
own way and it's causing big problems for the studio.
And other studios look at that and say, well, we
don't need these problems. So it'll be interesting to see,
like you said, if she gets any more high profile roles.

(36:36):
But I sincerely doubt it.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Dude, I cannot stand Alec Baldwin, but his portrayal of
the executive what's the character's named Jack on thirty Rock, it's.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, Jack, Dona. I watched it.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yeah, yeah, I watched a clip of it the other
day on the internet. Someone and I forgot how funny
he is on that show. He's so good on that show.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
Oh yeah, you know, he plays imagine that. He plays
a jerk very well, right, but a misogynistic jerk. But
it's great. Now. Granted, art doesn't always imitate life. He
didn't kill anybody, but yeah, you know, yeah, he still

(37:19):
plays it pretty good.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Let's talk about that.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
The first teaser footage of Alec Baldwin's troubled Western film
Rust has been released in the wake of the twenty
twenty one on set shooting that left director and photography
photographer Helena Hutchins dead. The footage shows this gritty tale
that features a young boy in the eighteen eighties in
Kansas faces a life defining trial with the aid of

(37:43):
his grandfather played by Alec Baldwin. And you and I
are both old enough to remember The Crow. And this
is a little different, right because in The Crow, a
lot of people wanted to see that movie because they
knew that the star died filming it, but they didn't
blame the star for it. Whereas with this as Alec
Baldwin is the face of the movie and the guy
that killed someone, do is Alec Baldwin, so beloved that

(38:06):
this gets a pass, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
I mean it's different, you know well.

Speaker 6 (38:11):
And famously, one of the big differences between the Crow
shooting and the Rush shooting is the guy that accidentally
killed Brandon lee On said it wasn't the actor's fault.
A fragment of a bullet had gotten stuck in the
Gun that nobody knew about. He famously basically quit acting
and went into seclusion. He was so distraught over what

(38:31):
had happened. Alec Baldwin the next week was out there
doing spin trying to, you know, say it wasn't his fault.
And even though what happened in the Crow was in
the scene, he was doing what he was supposed to
be doing, pointing the gun at Brandon Lee, pulling the trigger,
Alec Baldwin had no reason to point the gun at

(38:53):
at the lady he shot. And that's the big issue
with that is that there was no reason for him
to do what he did, so very unsafe practices. I
would never have Alec Baldwin on any set that I
was even working on, just because he's he's reckless.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
So, you know, Rachel Zegler and Alec Baldwin star in
what would what would be the movie that the two
of them could do together they would actually make people
want to watch it?

Speaker 6 (39:24):
Oh man, I don't even know. It would have to be.
It would have to be something where there there's a
high chance of catastrophe. But then again, with those two
on set, that's a given.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
So yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah, well, hey to that point.
I was just noticing here that By the way, I'm curious,
do you know, did they ever arrest it? What was
the How did the Brandon Lee thing conclude itself? Was
someone trying to murder him? How did that end?

Speaker 8 (39:51):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (39:51):
No, it was just a bad accident. Like I said,
a fragment from a real from either a real bullet
or one of the got caught in the gun, and
then when another one of the blanks went off, it
propelled that fragment, which was I guess a large piece
because it did kill Brandon Lee. Unfortunately, so after the

(40:14):
whole thing, I believe it, no one was charged. It
was a freak accident, and unfortunately we lost Brandon Lee,
who was becoming a very good action star.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah he really was all right.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Well, anyway, getting back to the controversy here, with snow
Whites failing obviously hemorrhaging money, I don't think anyone's going
to go see Rust. And there's a report out that
the first quarterbox office of the movie theaters is really bad,
plenty of flops. Even the lead movie in America right
now is not making any money. It's doing absolutely abysmal.
Is our movie's just dead toim. Nobody wants to go

(40:51):
to the movies anymore. I mean, obviously that's the easy
excuse for Hollywood to make, but they've had hits since
the pandemic that brought people Barbie Oppenheimer top Gun. I mean,
people will go see a movie if it's good, but
what's good.

Speaker 6 (41:06):
Well, and that's the problem. For so long, Hollywood was
basically a monopoly on the entertainment industry, so they could
make anything and it would most likely make a little
bit of money. But now they can't do that. They're
competing with streaming services, they're competing with the other places
making movies like Atlanta, Chicago, New York. They're competing with YouTube,

(41:29):
they're competing with rumble. So they can't just crap out
anything and expect it to make money anymore. And they're
learning that the hard way. Not only that they're running
the industry out of Los Angeles, it's a lot easier
to shoot in other places.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
There's a report today about actor Rob Lowe calling out
California's film industry incentives.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
He was doing a.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Podcast with former Parks and rec Co star Adam Scott
is explaining why he's doing a project in Ireland. It
says it's cheaper to bring one hundred people to Ireland
than it is to film in la How could that
be true.

Speaker 6 (42:11):
Surprisingly, they just don't have the tax breaks that other
people that other places do. California and Hollywood benefited from
the fact that they were basically the first area that
focused on making films. So for so long they were
basically the old school, old money, and now there's a

(42:33):
bunch of new money popping up saying, hey, come film
over here and we'll cut your taxes. We'll even give
you incentives. Ireland is famous for doing that. But now
you have places like North Carolina is really blowing up.
Atlanta has basically become the second, if not the first,

(42:54):
place to film in America. Hollywood has really taken its
eye off the ball, and it's all their fault. They
just have really stepped on a rake. And it didn't
help that during the pandemic they ran off a lot
of people because it was just almost impossible to film
large projects in California. But you could film all you

(43:16):
wanted in Texas, Atlanta and other places like that.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
All right, you lived in Hollywood. You speak Hollywood ease.
I don't know what these people are saying. But the
John F. Kennedy Center of Performing Arts that's in Washington,
d C. But it's basically a hodgepodge of leftists from
Hollywood and leftists in New York City that we're operating
this entertainment facility in our nation's capital. Most people listening
to me talking right now are probably aware of the

(43:39):
fact that Trump took over, fired everybody and made him
self chairman of the board, and then I think gave
the job to someone else, but basically dismantled the entire
staff there. Now the latest is they're dismantling the Social
Impact Initiative, laying off in plays affiliated with the project.
What was the social impact initiative? Just woke bs, I
got drag Queen show for kids. I thought they already

(44:01):
did this.

Speaker 6 (44:03):
Yeah, I have no idea what it is. I mean,
that's how weird some of this stuff is. It sounds like, yeah,
it must have been something to do with DEI or
or something like that. Kind of reminds me of an
intimacy coordinator, like what do you do?

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Like I want that job.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
I want to tell Hollywood starlet's what is appropriate and
not appropriate while filming a sex scene in front of
thirty strangers on a Hollywood movie set.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
Yeah, I don't even know where you go to school
for that, Like where do you get that degree? Where
do you major in intimacy coordination? And unfortunately your degree
is completely obsolete, so it's I don't know.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Hey, before we run here, Tim mathis for those that
don't know. To those of you that have seen Tim
mathis do stand up comedy before. He really is hilarious
and he has an interesting audience because both conservatives love him.
But then also I've noticed he's popular with like black
urban stand up comedy clubs as well. My point is
Tim's a great talent and he's a Hollywood He was
a comedy writer in Hollywood. Tim has been producing a project,

(45:14):
a mockumentary, and if you look him up on x
or Instagram, his account is called at Tim mathis Comedy.
In fact, go to his ex account you know, Twitter,
and you will find a link to a GoFundMe page.
They're producing a hilarious movie called Megabowl. Megabowl is going
to be a mockumentary about Frisbee golf, which is a
really funny idea for a movie, I think. And at

(45:37):
the top of the Tim mathis Comedy page, there's a
link to it. Fifty bucks goes a long way, twenty bucks,
ten bucks. The more money you donate, I'm sure if
you donate it enough, they'd give you a producer's credit,
right Tim.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Yeah, We've got a lot of different incentives anywhere from
ten dollars you get a shout out on social media
up to one thousand dollars you can do placement. A one
hundred bucks you get to be an extra in the film.
So we're definitely looking on shooting a lot in Texas,
so your listeners would easily be part of this film.

(46:12):
And it's a micro budget mockumentary styled like a thirty
for thirty ESPN mockumentary about a Frisbee golf tournament that
went terribly in two thousand and eight. So we really
appreciate any help getting this made.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Why two thousand and eight.

Speaker 6 (46:28):
It just seemed like a time when it's far enough
away where we could pretend people didn't remember it, And
it also seems like well, and long story short, one
of the sponsors of the Frisbee golf tournament went underwater
with the two thousand and eight housing crisis, so it

(46:48):
all ties into that. So it's pretty zany, it's pretty funny,
and it's an old school comedy. It's not like these
new things that they're coming out with that are just
two PC to be funny. In fact, one of the
consultants came back and told us we needed more social
commentary in our script, and I told her we just
don't have room because there's too many jokes.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
My brother, I think it's amazing. My man, Tim mathis
at Tim mathis Comedy on Twitter. You'll find a link
to that, so check it out.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
To the rest of you, I love you all.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Please be safe, drive safe out there, be back bright
and early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought
a radio for.

Speaker 8 (47:26):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
