Giganic government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is do
us Liberty and freedom will make you smile. The suda
happening us on your radio to ol justice, cheeseburgers, a
libery rise at.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
A recent study confirms something we've always known. Okay, I
didn't always know this. According to scientists, farts, you know,
fart you know farts. Farts travel at a speed of
about seven miles per hour. I got to assume they
travel a lot faster in church.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
That's just my guest.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hey, you know who's here this afternoon, Brandon Darby from
Breitbart Texas. Wild things are happening right now. The Department
of Justice now extremely the Department of Treasury. The Treasury
Department is going after a cartel leader. We will explain
what that means. And Christino, is she a good secretary
of the Department of Homeland Security or is she costplaying?
We'll answer that question. In the meantime, here in Harrison County,
(01:00):
a dangerous, violent criminal that never should have been out
on the streets was and something terrible happened. It was
all preventable. Holly Hansen is gonna explain the story to
us she's from the Texan Dot New's Brandon from Breitbart Texas, obviously,
but before we get to any of that, let's start
off with a discussion about Caroline Levitt. I have criticized
some of the women in the Trump administration. I'm I'm
(01:22):
sorry if you don't like that, but I'm you know,
I'm nothing but honest with you, guys. I tell you
what I think, and if I don't think it, I
don't tell you about it.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
But I do think that. I do think that Caroline
Levit's doing.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
A good job.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Pam BONDI Nah, she's okay, Christino, very beautiful woman.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I've asked the question before, what exactly is she doing?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Brandon will answer that later in the show, but in
the meantime, let's talk about White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
As was reported today at brightbar dot com by John Nolty,
Caroline Levitt refuses to acknowledge quote unquote journalists who put
pronouns in their email signatures. This might sound like it's
nothing or like it's stupid, but I actually think this
(01:59):
is pretty Brillian. Caroline Levitt was talking to the Washington Post,
not exactly a news outlet. We respect, not anymore anyway,
and she said the following. She said, quote, any reporter
who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio
clearly does not care about biological reality or truth, and
therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
End quote.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
She continued from there. The far left New York Times
reported earlier that three of its reporters were denied responses
from the White House because they listed pronouns in their emails.
I'm sorry that, quotes from the Washington Post. That's just news.
Matt Berg is a correspondent from Crooked Media. He claims
he's got pronouns in his email, and Caroline Levitt's making
fun of him. If a pretty blonde woman in her
(02:41):
twenties is hurting your feelings because it's something silly you
put in your email signature, and she pointed out, maybe
she's not the problem you are. I mean, come on, guys,
this is so stupid today. It's misgendering. They'll even tell
you it's violence. No, I think violence is actually violence.
I don't think using the wrong pronouns are just telling
people they're silly for hyper focusing on pronouns.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Is violence?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Because when you say things like that, it's marginalizing the
actual victims of real violence, and it kind of cheapens
it when something violent actually happens, and we need people
to be concerned anyway, Today it's misgendering, Tomorrow it'll be misgendering,
get it. Because fascists love their trip wires. My preferred
pronouns are trump one. How do you like that?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Libs?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Now, what do you have to say about that? Washington
poast Caroline Levitt is exactly right. These people are anti
science freaks. They always have been the same people that
would tell you that any of the scientific claims by
so called experts during the pandemic can't be disputed would
also tell you that a man can be a woman
if he simply says he used one. Those who use
(03:46):
preferred pronouns are proclaiming their delusional belief the gender is
on a spectrum, when neither a spectrum nor gender are
real things. What's the difference between gender and bigfoot? Well,
bigfoot might exist. There is only sex. There's male, there's female,
there's sex and their sexual preference. I'm beginning to think
the term gender just means whatever they want it to be.
(04:08):
They're xx chromosomes, they're x y chromosomes. Even those rare
variations are either biologically male or female. Denying this is
like denying gravity. It's like denying that humans need oxygen
to breathe. It's like denying that Hillary Clinton is a fat,
ugly she beast, and beyond any of that. Using preferred
pronouns as an act of cry bullying, it's virtue signaling arrogance.
(04:32):
You're proclaiming how special you are, and we all need
to rewire our brains and change the way basic grammar works.
To make you feel better, because even though you're a
he or a she, now you choose to be a they.
I got bad news, Baba, You're not a they. You're
barely even a heat.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Fortunately this isn't one of those shows.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I feel like I never listening to you all again.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Passe suit of happiness radio.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
All right, So Bill Gates' daughter launched a fashion website.
She developed her fashion instinct by watching her dad and
then doing the exact opposite of whatever he does. Hi,
thanks for turning on the radio, kids. I don't know
if you guys have heard but trouble is a bruin.
Where is trouble a bruin? Where else would trouble be
a bruin? Down at the US border? And there's one
(05:22):
guy who's got his finger on the pulse and it's
not Tom Holman. Well I guess them too, but that's
not who the guest is.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Synd's lot from Texas Justice.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
To me Locker and now live from the border, it's
Bright Bart's Brandon Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only on
KPRC Radio.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
All right, there's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Right now in the world of illegal immigration, including Houston
Ice officers deporting hundreds of illegal aliens, Texas woman arrested
at the border with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash,
and the US Treasury is actually targeting a cartel boss.
I don't know that we've ever seen anything like this before.
But before we get to any of that, I want
to ask Brandon dark Be a question a lot of
(06:00):
my friends have been discussing lately. Many people have pointed
out at the Department of Justice, for example, it seems
like a lot of what Pam Bondie aka Pam Blondie
does is TV interviews and maybe it's Cash Batal that's
really doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Apparently he
has a direct line of contact now with the President
of the United States. We've never seen that before from
(06:22):
an FBI boss at the DHS a similar situation. It
feels like Tom Homan is doing a lot of the
heavy lifting. And Christy Nom is a very beautiful woman
who poses for a lot of pictures, does a lot
of photo ops. Is she actually knocking down doors and
holding people at gunpoint? Why would she be look she
(06:44):
looks amazing, Brandon Darby, is Christy Nom the real Department
of Homeland Security secretary or is she more of just
the poster girl?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
If you will no, I mean, okay, So here's the thing.
Let's just be bur blood. People are given her heart
time because they think she goes out there looking cute,
see or looking Here's the deal. She's an attractive woman.
She has symmetrical features that many people would find attractive. Right,
(07:12):
there's zero percent chance unless she just wears no makeup
and doesn't brush her hair that morning, that she's not
going to be attractive to some people. So criticizing her
if it were a man, if it were anyone else
who was in her position and they were going out
(07:33):
hitting the streets with the agents serving under them. We
would congratulate that, and we should congratulate her for doing that.
That's a great thing. I can only imagine the morale
that is boosted by having their leader out there on
the streets with him. I think that's a great thing.
(07:53):
And who tears if she looks cute or wears a
cute blouse or whatever, like, I don't care. It's great
that it's great. You know. This is one of the
things about Trump that was so amazing to me in
the first term and especially the second is the you know,
(08:13):
historically there's all of these boots on the ground, okay,
and then there are these these politically appointed filters that
that information goes through from the boots on the ground
before they get to the President's ears or eyes right
that information is going through. And it's really hard for
(08:34):
that to happen when when border patrol Ajans have a
direct line to the president right through the National Border
Patrol Council, when DHS has a direct line to Christian
I mean, it's very difficult to to, you know, for
for information to be filtered when that's happening. It's a
good thing, you know. I think I think people. I
(08:57):
think people are looking for reasons to at anything related
to Trump, and it's difficult for us because with all
we hear is people with constantly attacking Trump and everyone
under him. It's easy to buy the framing. But I
don't buy the framing, don't.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I don't accept it, you know what, Brandon, and that
was a very civil response for you to make. I
you're somebody that's often doesn't hold back any bars when
it's time to criticize the federal government, even when it's
people on your side. This is a thing A lot
of people on our side have criticized her for or
Trump for that matter, and you took a different position
on it.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I find that very interesting. I do.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I don't know if you feel the same way I do.
Enjoy defending the Hut, you know what I mean. I
don't think we should judge a person just because she's
an attractive woman. She still looks good in her fifties.
I mean, good, Lord, look at Christy Nome.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, you know, I personally, it's not I don't look
at it that way. I recognize that a lot of
people would find her attractive. It's not really my style.
So I'm not ending a hot in that time, but
I do RECOMPI I've that a lot of people discuss
her that way and say, oh, you know, she's he's
(10:08):
so attractive or whatever, And I hear that all the
time from from from guys. But it's not it's not
my mar cup of tea.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, we've all heard the expression politics Washington, DC is
Hollywood for ugly people. Christy Nome looks like she could
be in TV. She looks like she could play the
female governor on Yellowstone. But anyway, I don't want to
waste any more airtime on that because this next topic
has not gotten enough attention. And I think your top
news story today at Breitbart Texas is about how the
(10:36):
US Department of Treasury is targeting a cartel boss behind
one of the largest fentanyl seizures in Mexican history. Now,
maybe this has happened before. I don't know. I've never
heard of this. I've never heard of the US Department
of Treasury going out and trying to defeat cartels?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Is this a first?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Now, it's not a farist, it's just not something that
gets a lot of attention and what happened this Historically
that've had the Kingpin List, So if you were a
major drug dealer, Treasury would put you on the basically
blacklist you and prevent US businesses from, you know, US
financial institutions from having any connections to you. However, they've
(11:18):
just not done it very aggressively. What we're seeing now
is this really aggressive. Like any time one of these
guys is identified or they raise their head of the
US government, the full weight from Treasury and beyond just
comes after them. And it's it's kind of amazing to watch.
And I mean again, I've been dealing with these guys
(11:40):
for a very long time and for it to become
such a big important deal now all of a sudden
is amazing to me. Like I'm just sickle peek, you know,
watching this.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Do you worry that it's going to go in the
other direction? At some point?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
They say, the pendulum always swings too hard in either
direction in politics. Now that we've reached era of politics
where of the US government, of public discourse where people
actually care about the immigration crisis, do you worry that
kind of Like from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty, the
liberal is going to convince people that it's bad to
protect the country, and the pendulum goes in the other direction.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Again. Not really, No, I don't worry about that in
this context. I really don't. I think that. I think
once people are forced to look at the horrors of cartels,
the horrors of cartels are there. I mean, you know,
like we talk about the horrors of Nazism, right, and
of what the Nazis did, and it didn't turn into
(12:38):
a thing with a pendulum slug and everybody's all of
a sudden supporting Nazis what these people make Like, I
recognize that what they do is is not on the
scale of what Nazi Germany did to minorities and to
Jews and to Roma and to you know, gay people
and so forth. But I'll tell you what, for the
(12:58):
communities who are affected by cartels, and for the people
who they are beheading and killing, and the people who
have lost their loved ones, I promise you it feels
like that there are there are, you know, any given year,
tens of thousands of people victimized by these guys directly,
and not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people
(13:20):
who are dying because these jerks are, you know, putting
fentinyl and marijuana and putting sentinil and things that people
wouldn't possibly think would have sentinil on them. So I don't,
you know, I don't think the pendulum swings on this.
I think it's just the first time that people are
having to see what people like you and I have
been seeing for many years, which is that these guys
(13:42):
are horrible. You know, they're awful, They're atrocious.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, on that note, in just two weeks, ICE has
busted one hundred and seventy four criminal aliens deported from Houston, Houston, Texas.
One hundred and seventy four criminal aliens. We're not just
talking about cleaning ladies and kitchen workers here, that we're
convicted serious offenses, right. The narrative obviously from the view
and the left and you know, those sort of Rachel
(14:07):
Maddow is a lot of these deportations, the rests are
not necessarily all criminals, but evidence seemed to suggest otherwise.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
At some point, do you think that changes?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
At some point, do you feel like we're going to
go out and get enough trend Aragua and MS thirteen
and cartel connected gang members and then they will move
on to the restaurant workers and the cleaning ladies. Does
it feel like that's coming anytime soon or not? Should
that not even be a concern for people?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Well, so here's what I would say to that. What
Tom Holman says, and I think Tom Homan's a straight shooter,
I really do. What he says is that they are
not targeting those people. They're targeting criminal aliens. And he said, now,
when they target a criminal alien and they go into
the apartment of a drug dealing, cracksmoking gang member, whoever
(14:57):
else is in there, if they're here illegally say they
are a restaurant worker, they're getting caught up in it too. Right. Now,
here's the thing though, and you know this, like if
a crash house gets busted, do you know who they're
not going to find in there? Me? You know why,
because I don't smoke crack. I'm not a criminal. I'm
not doing that. So if you're hanging out with trained
(15:18):
at Ragua members in an apartment, don't tell me you're
just a restaurant worker. Okay, Like, whoever's hanging out with
those kind of people, they need to be deported to.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I mean If somebody's trafficking fentanyl, why would their roommate
need to be a restaurant worker. You're right, that doesn't logically,
that doesn't make any sense. So one of them's trafficking
thousands of dollars a day of very dangerous drugs and
the others are making hundreds of dollars a week busing
tables and they share an apartment.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah, you're right, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Brandon Darby always a breath of fresh air and common sense.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
It's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You were recently on the Glenn Beck TV show up
in Dallas for Worth filming a little TV there. When
I go up there, they put me on that late
night show with Alex Stein, but you actually get to
be on the serious show Bringdon.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
That's not fair.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, it was kind of. It was kind of a
wild experience. Honestly, it hasn't aired. It airs. I think
it airs tonight or tomorrow. I don't know. But it
was very interesting. They were very kind and hospitable, and
you know Glenn that came across very knowledgeable about cartels.
He really didn't control the interview, just kind of let
(16:28):
me talk, and it was just an overall very nice experience,
you know too, you know. And he said, like, what
what more can I do? And about this issue with
Cartel's and I told him, I said nothing. It's kind
of like what you do, can you? It's like, just
bring air to it, bring attention to it, put it
in people's minds. That's the biggest, the most powerful thing
(16:48):
that that folks like us can do.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Right are you saying that I'm winning the border war
right now?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I'm saying that you're a part of it for sure.
Or you've been bringing attention to it to your listeners
with me for a very long time, much longer than
it's been cool and chick to do.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So you know what, that warmed my heart. Brandon Darby,
you are a good friend.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm gonna watch that on Blaze TV tonight, and I'm
gonna follow Brandon Darby on X and I'm going to
go to Breitbart dot com slash Border today to check
out some of the work he's doing.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Hard doctor told us the pills we took were just
a placebo, but he must not know what he's talking about,
because man, those suckers worked. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit
of happiness all right.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
So Subway now sells foot long nachos. In response, Taco
Bell now sells a spongy gray substance they called tuna.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Order it today. Hi, welcome back, kids. I'm Kenny Webster.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's always interesting how the media thinks they can still
create fake controversy. It's not twenty seventeen anymore. You guys
have lost your special powers. You no longer get to
decide what people are mad about, or even get to
pretend that people are mad about something.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
MSNBC, Newsweek, the Daily Mail, they all have news stories
today about how people are mad at Joe Rogan for
appearing on a comedy special.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
What was the comedy special. There's a show called Kill Tony.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Do you know what?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
It's Tony Hingecliff. They film it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
They shoot it in Austin, Texas, at Joe Rogan's comedy club,
and basically it's like The Voice or American Idol, but
for stand up comedy. And it's very edgy, right, and
they don't even no one really even wins. A comedian
comes out, he does some of his material, and then
some other comedians roast him, compliment him, insult him. Offer
(18:39):
him feedback whatever. Joe Rogan knows the show exists because
they film it. They shoot the videotape whatever you call it,
film it. I don't know if it's film or not.
But the show takes place at his comedy club, at
Comedy Mothership.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I was there recently. It's a really cool comedy club.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
MSNBC claims that because Joe Rogan is part of this podcast,
it's somehow creating problems for him.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
It's not problems with who.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
People that weren't going to go to his comedy club,
people that don't listen to his podcast. Who do you
think it's great? How is this hurting him? Do you
think it's preventing him from getting some movie role? The
fact that he's so Do you remember who Tony Hingecliffe is?
By the way, Tony Hinchcliffe is the comedian who appeared
at a Trump rally and told a joke about how
Puerto Rico is an island covered in garbage. Now Daily
(19:28):
Mail Today reporting Joe Rogan sparked fierce backlash after appearing
on Tony Hinchecliffe's netlik flick special, with social media users
declaring don't like him as a guest they don't like
him as a guest. The podcast host featured as a
panelist in the new release titled Kill Tony, Kill or
Be Killed, arrived on the platform on Monday, April seventh.
The two hour comedy special was filmed at Comedy Mothership
(19:51):
in Austin, Texas, and it's he's a mix of established
comedian Shane Gillis Tom Sigora, for example, while blending rapid
fire stand up sets from aspiring comedians. Dude, it sounds awesome.
I can't wait to read it. Anyway, So Tony's there,
and I guess Joe Rogan participated. And now people claim
that Joe Rogan is upset the left by being involved
(20:12):
in a podcast that he's been the producer of this
entire time, of which he owns the comedy club. Like,
do you get what I'm saying? This is not a
real controversy. You guys can't just declare that Joe Rogan
is in trouble because him and his friends did something
and you didn't like it. He's not in any trouble.
There's a story today at Breitbart dot com and it
(20:33):
highlights how anti woke comedy is making a comeback, and
thank god it is. I can remember being a little
kid and comedians like Bill Hicks and Sam Kinnison were
so popular. Rodney Dangerfield very offensive comedians, and that was
the point. They were supposed to be offensive. South Park,
(20:53):
Family Guy, even The Simpsons was considered edgy at one point.
I mean, it's not considered edgy today, but it was then.
And then people got real sensitive for a while, didn't they.
I don't know if it was just because of nine
to eleven or far left politics, but suddenly people didn't
like jokes for a while, or at least they didn't
like jokes that poked you in the abs a little bit. Well,
(21:13):
the left's fascist efforts to shame, blacklist, and censor comedians
they deem offensive, it's failing. There's a new movement of
anti woke comedians. Maybe we shouldn't even call them anti
woke comedians, because really they're just comedians, and they're not
anti woke comedians. The problem is there were just too
many woke comedians. The Rap wrote a story recently saying
(21:37):
that the stand up comedy is too offensive these days.
The Trump administration has embolded more transgressive voices to come
out and insult women and people of color. What do
you want to know what another word for is for
anti wo comedy comedy? Do you want to know another
word for woke comedy?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
A lecture?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Have you ever seen a woke comedian perform before? They're
not funny. They just make political points that a Rachel
Madow audience would agree with, and then people applaud them.
There's nothing funny about that. There's no such thing as
woke comedy. There's nothing funny about wolke. It's not about laughs,
it's about applause lines. Woke is pedantic, it's smug, it's
(22:19):
self involved. The best example that the rap, this news outlet,
this Hollywood news outlet could give of what illustrates the
end of woke terror is when SNL fired Shane Gillis
and then they brought him back as a as a host.
You know who, Shane Gillis is, very funny comedian. He
(22:39):
was supposed to be on SNL a few years back,
several years ago. He was going to be one of
their new cast members, and then they realized he once
said a racial slur about Chinese people in a comedy bit,
so they fired him before they hired him. And then
the big news was that they didn't hire an anti
Chinese racist comedian, even though it wasn't really true. What's
important going out here is that from where we all
(23:01):
are at, guys, what saved Gillis was how he handled
the firing rather than grovel like a little bitch to
the woke fascist, which would have cost him his sizeable
fan base. He posted something on Twitter. He said, quote,
of course I wanted an opportunity to prove myself to SNL,
but I understand it would be too much of a distraction.
I respect the decision they made. I'm honestly grateful for
(23:21):
the opportunity. I was always a mad TV guy anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
End quote.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
He added that he would apologize to anyone who's actually offended,
which was no one. Then he went on about his
business making fun of the learning disabled. Well, I mean
not really, but I think he has a family member
with a disability, so he does some comedy about it.
So the rap claims that guys like Tony Hingecliffe and
Shane Gillis and Matt Rife and Theo Vaughn have loyal
(23:46):
fan bases, but they wouldn't be popular if not for
you guessed it, Donald Trump what.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
That's what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
They're saying it's because of Donald Trump's reelection that these racist, misogynistic,
transphobic comms feel emboldened. You notice how they only picked
white comedians to include in the story. They never mentioned
the fact that Dave Chappelle makes fun of the trans community.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
The trans community's funny. They deserve to be made fun of.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Like Dave Chappelle said so many times, if I thought
I was Chinese, wouldn't that be funny?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
What if I really, in my heart of heart, thought
I was Chinese and I walked around doing that terribly
racist accent. But not because I'm making fun of them,
because I really thought I was one. Now, that would
be ridiculous and insane. But wouldn't it be kind of funny?
It would be kind of funny some guy thinks he's
a girl. We used to laugh at that, Monty Python,
Martin Lawrence. The people of the journalists that are making
(24:40):
these claims lament that it seems as if where to
draw the line has changed, what with the dismantling of
DEI policies. The line should only be drawn in one place,
is it funny or not? Here are two examples of
how real comedians think. Fifty years ago, Universal Studios put
out a movie Animal House. Freaked out about it, but
(25:01):
it was the most popular comedy ever made at the time.
It was the biggest selling comedy movie ever. There was
a sequence where the characters in the movie end up
at a black roadhouse where they're intimidated and just surrendering
their dates and running out of the place screaming for
their lives. Universal Pictures asked Richard Pryor, a black comedian,
(25:23):
to look at the scene. They said, should we keep
it in or should we move? Did you know that
Richard Pryor was brought in and shown the movie and
he said, leave it in. It's funny. It is funny.
It's a classic scene. Obviously, some of the tight asses
at Universal missed the point of the humor. We're not
laughing at the hyper masculine black guys. We're laughing at
the heroes, the characters in the film suddenly becoming uncool
(25:43):
and caught off guard. We're laughing at their lack of chivalry,
their cluelessness about how to handle themselves. The butt of
the joke was the white guys. Here's another example. Remember
there was a time, Jay Leno won the coveted Tonight
Show gig. After Johnny Carson retired, Leno and Letterman became
mortal enemies, but when asked to appear in a skit
(26:04):
on Letterman Show, Jay Leno agreed. Later, when he was
asked how he could put all the bitterness aside and
agree to do such a thing, Leno said, because it
was funny.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
That was the point.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
It was supposed to be funny. For true comedians, It's
only about the laughs. Anyone standing up there with a
microphone trying to accomplish anything other than making you laugh
is not a comedian. Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, John Stewart,
those guys are not funny. You know who's funny? Sam Kinnison,
Eddie Murphy, Nor MacDonald, Don Rickles, Richard Pryor, Doug Stanhope,
(26:36):
Dave Chappelle. I used to think Bill Burr was funny,
but he kind of sucks now.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
You know who else is funny? Jesse Peyton and Chad Prather.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Jesse Peyton and Chad Prather are two very funny comedians
headlining something called the Right Side of Comedy. The Gulf
of America, tour. It's a short tour, but I'm involved,
so I'm excited. I'm the host. Friday, April eighteenth, we're
going to be at Southport Hall in New Orleans, Southport Hall,
two hundred Monticello Avenue. Tickets are available for that on
at Watchchad dot com or Jessesfunny dot com, or you
(27:06):
can go to my ex account.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
You'll find a link at the top.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
The following night, we're gonna be in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, at
a place called Bruskis Again. Tickets available in both places.
Watch Chad or Jesse is Funny. You want to go
to those comedy shows, get some tickets, come out and
watch unwoke comedy aka comedy live on stage.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Pen Webstay's Pursuit of Happiness a radio show that's just
as good when you're driving around Soba as it is
when you're drunk at home.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Before we go, time for a little bit of local
news coverage. I feel like we've explained this before, but
sometimes it's worth repeating. What is the point of jail?
What is the point of prison? What is the point
of jail? The point of prison in jail, obviously at
the very least justice. Somebody did something wrong, well, they
(27:57):
should have to repay their debt to society in whatever
form that may be. Somebody murdered someone, they certainly don't
get to enjoy freedom and liberty. But a close second
to that, and probably just as important, but a close second,
jail in prison is supposed to protect the innocent from
the very dangerous. I mean, obviously justice is important, there's
no doubt. But nobody should ever pretend that we're sending
(28:21):
people away to prison so we can make them into
better people. That's definitely not happening. The recidivism rate in
this country makes it more than obvious. Most criminals tend
to keep committing crimes after they get out of prison,
so they're not going to prison or jail to become
better people. In fact, you might even argue while they're there,
it's a little bit like going to higher education for criminals.
(28:43):
You go to prison, you meet other drug dealers and
thieves and that sort of thing. They make you into
a more skilled and talented criminal, don't they. But at
the very least I would hope jail in prison is
a place where we can keep the very dangerous people
away from the weak and vulnerable we've seen before. How unfortunately, sadly,
(29:07):
that's not what jail and prisoner are being used for
because of the bond reform controversy. Over the last several
years here in Houston, Texas, we've seen multiple incidents of
somebody that was very dangerous, who should have been in
jail at the very least, should have been in local
holding cell, getting let out of the jail on no bond,
(29:27):
and then going out and hurting someone, often hurting the
very person they were arrested for hurting in the first place.
I remember there was one such case a few years back.
There was a pregnant woman in a domestic violence case.
They arrested the abuser, the abusing boyfriend, the spouse, whatever
it is he was, arrested him, let him out, and
what happened?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
He murdered her. What looks like we have another one
of those cases.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
This seems to have happened again a man who pleaded
guilty to murder in December. The guy was already convicted
for murder back in December, out bond when the worst
possible thing happened.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
This is a guy that should have been in jail.
We already knew he was a murderer.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Here with the whole story is Holly Hansen from the
Texan Dot News. Holly, can you tell us the story today?
The story of Austin Collette, aged twenty six and his girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
This is horrific.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
This is horrific, and it is different from some of
these other cases where we've had someone arrested, they're awaiting trial,
they get on bond. Sometimes their bonds are minimal and
they get not one, not two, but three, four, even
up to nine bonds. So that's been pretty egregious. But
in this case, Austin Collette had actually pleaded guilty to
(30:42):
murder on December I believe it's December twelfth of twenty
twenty four, so just a few months ago. But even
though he had pleaded guilty to murder and was going
to be spending some time in incarceration, the judge allowed
him to be out free while awaiting his sentencing hearing.
(31:03):
But she never scheduled the sentencing hearing, so four months later,
as of last week, Austin Coled was found in what
is likely a murder suicide where the police say he
seems to have shot his girlfriend and then shot himself.
There are so many questions about why someone who is
actually convicted of a crime, a murder, no less, who
(31:25):
doesn't have a lot to lose because he's going to
be facing some time in you know, the state jail,
why he is out on the streets and not just
for a short period of time, but for four months.
And so this is this is a new twist on
this bond reform effort that we've seen, especially here in Houston,
(31:46):
and that has prompted so much concern. And we've seen,
you know, a number of murders committed by people who
were out on bond, but in those cases they were
awaiting trial. They hadn't been convicted yet. This one is
different and very concerning.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It seems pretty obvious, right, the guy who's already convicted
a murder, why is he out on the streets. But
it's funny to me, Holly, how there will be a
portion of our society, a portion of our community, that
will look at a news story like this and they
will see something entirely differently than what you and I
see Up in Dallas Fort Worth. Recently, a star athlete,
(32:22):
perfect GPA track and football star got stabbed to death
at a track meet after he asked some kid from
the opposing team to leave the tent for his team.
They claim he was bullying the kid. IM not sure
any evidence has been offered of that yet. But the
guy brought a knife to a track meet and then
stabbed someone to death on the opposing team.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
And there are actually people out there trying to.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Raise money for this young man because there's a racial
polarization element to the news story that somehow because one
of them's white and the other one's black, that's supposed
to mean something And it was all in how could
it be in self defense if a knife was involved.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Well, if something that obvious has.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Caused people to see more than one different perspective on it,
I've got to think maybe there's just something I'm not
seeing here. What am I not understanding about this? What
is the excuse to have this guy out on the
street where their advocates for on Is this something the
community wanted?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Who? You know?
Speaker 7 (33:16):
There is this criminal justice reform movement that one does
not believe in any pre trial incarceration, but they also
truly believe that the only reason someone could miss the crime,
or the only two reasons are that that person you know,
is mentally ill, or that they have been discriminated against
(33:36):
and they have you know, they're poor basically, to put
it simply, they're a poor minority community. And so their
belief is that we need to either get a person
mental house assistance or address what they call the root
causes of crimes. They want to, for example, provide housing
and universal basic income and these kinds of things because
(33:59):
they believe that that will bring down crime. Unfortunately, for
that point of view, when you look at the analysis
of people who are criminals who are in our state
prisons and federal prisons, the commonality which that you see
with a lot of these criminals is not their poverty,
(34:20):
because there are people from all socioeconomic levels in prisons.
It's actually a sense of entitlement that leads them to
be a long term criminal. And so I think it's
a lot more complicated than that. I think that, you know,
the common sense understanding is that there are some people
(34:40):
who you want to do bad things, and if you don't,
you know, provide deterrents or you know, in some cases,
incarcerate people who have those tendencies, you're not going to
keep the public safe. And it really is a horrific
story that you're talking about with this young man that
stabbed to death, and then there was a segment of
(35:02):
the society that's that's backing this young man. I mean,
we also see the guy who killed the I forget
which health and United health careacter ye Manoni, he has
been made a hero in some segments of society. You know,
it is a very concerning trend and it has not
(35:26):
shared well in Houston, where we see some of that
being implemented by some of our elected criminal court judges
and some of our elected officials.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Okay, So all that being said, I mean there's two sides,
three sides to every story, one side, the other side,
and then there's the truth. Something else that's getting a
lot of attention this week is what happened on Friday
the Fort ben County Judge KP. George, a notable Democratic
guy with a history of scandal. To put it bluntly,
some of the most embarrassing scandal. This guy created fake
(35:58):
social media account so he could racially harass himself for
public sympathy. Okay, he's out right now. His attorney is
saying this latest thing on Friday, in which he got
arrested and indicted for money laundering is politically motivated.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Now, I can't tell you how I know this. No,
I'll just tell you allie.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I have a source that works at the Fort Ben
County Courthouse. The group of people that went after him,
they're not right wing ideologues. The people, the prosecutors that
have been involved in this thing, some of the investigators
those are, They're not. I would, I would venture to say,
without knowing all of their specific political beliefs, I get
the impression most of them are liberal Democrats, don't. I
(36:36):
know you probably don't know the answer, but I just
love to hear your reaction. George Woodfell, the former longtime
share of the Harris County Republican Party representing George KP George,
a Democrat, said that this is all politically motivated. How
could it be politically How could this be politically motivated?
If it's liberal Democrats?
Speaker 7 (36:55):
It is a very strange story. And you're right. Brian Middleton,
b DA in Portman County, he is a Democrat. I
would never put him in a conservative column, but he
seems to be pretty fair and he looks at these
cases and traces you know, determine what's right and just.
And you know his investigation was launched by KP. George's
(37:18):
former chief of staff. To Ral Patel had created those
fake online accounts and even stolen the picture of a
man and his wife and minor age children to use
for one of these fake accounts where he posted racist
messages and there seems to have been collaboration between him
and KP George. Now Toral Patel is actually facing a
(37:40):
fleew of charges. He's got multiple misdemeanor and felony charges
over his activities. KP George was indicted on the misdemeanor
last year, but now he's been indicted on felony charges
of money laundering in the course of the investigation. And
to be fair, they haven't released the full details of
what's gone here, but it appears that there may have
(38:02):
been some money laundering activities in relation to KP. George's
campaign finances dating back to twenty nineteen twenty twenty when
he first took office. So a lot of curiosity about
what's happened over there in Fort ben County, and you
even have the Democrats finally now calling on KP George
(38:23):
to step down and repudiating him and his former chief
of staff. But it is quite the scandal there for
Democrats in Fort Benk County.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
And a chance that he does step down. Have you
heard anything I've not.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
I have not.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
It sounds like he's digging in. And you're right, it's
very interesting that his attorney is Jared Woodfeld, the former
Harris County Republican Party chair. You know, Jared is an
interesting character, has his own interesting history. But we'll just
have to wait and see what happens on this one.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
For whatever it's worth it, I mean, for people on
our side. I know you're a journalist, but I happen
to your political beliefs are so I know you do
have a side, whether you'd admit it out loud or not.
For people on our side, this actually could work out
pretty well for us, Holly. It reminds me of the
case of Bob Filner. Robert Earl Filner, about a decade ago,
was the mayor of San Diego, and this is a
(39:16):
very sleazy, scummy guy. Well, as it turns out, he
got into a little bit of trouble, a controversy involving
an airline worker, and I think he had a he
had a sex scandal. If I maybe I'm confusing different too, No,
here it is okay, it wasn't the airline worker.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
That was a different scandal. I'm trying to look it
up online right now.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
He had a sex scandal informing a involving a political staffer, kissing, groping.
Gloria already got involved, if I'm not mistaken, the feminist attorney.
This guy stepped down in disgrace. And after years and
years of having a mayor, a Democrat mayor in San Diego,
guess which political party replaced the incumbent The Republicans. The
(39:55):
Republicans actually were able to take over the city of
San Diego, not because of some national political trend, or
because of crime statistics or anything like, simply because of
a scandal from a Democrat elected official. Who knows could
happen in Fort ben County. Again, stranger things have happened.
Speaker 7 (40:12):
You never know now, to be fair, I believe it's
Porpin County that the re elected a state rep who
was actually in jail at the time of the election.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Okay, Holly Hanson find her on x She is my
sister from another mister. You can also find her work
at the Texan Dot News. I'm very proud of the
fact that we highlight great conservative journalists in the state
of Texas on this radio show. But only one great
female conservative journalist. That's Holly. The rest of them are
all garbage. Believe me, I've looked into it. Hey, you
(40:42):
know what you ought to do? Follow her on Twitter,
subscribe to our podcast, and come back bright and early
tomorrow morning for more of what you bought a radio for.
And I take it back. There's at least one other
female journalist who's good. I just don't know what her
name is.
Speaker 8 (41:00):
You are listening to the pursuit of happing this radio
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you're listen
to this show.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Guys, misogyny and the show on right wing talk radio.
I don't think that's gonna play well with this audience.
