Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Gigan government sucks. Suit of happiness radio is dus.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Of a suit
of happiness us on your radio, Toyle, just as cheeseburgers
like a liberty rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Ladies and gentlemen. Today is World Lizard Day.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Most lizards mate in late spring and early summer, but
only for the males not suffering from reptile dysfunction.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Now you shut up.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
A Chinese man was arrested for trying to smuggle eight
hundred and fifty turtles from the US to Hong Kong.
He was planning to sell them to a shell company. No,
shut you shut your mouth all right.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
One more.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Once upon a time there was a king who was
only twelve inches tall. He was a terrible king, but
he was a great ruler. Ah you like that one, Hi, everybody,
I'm Kenny Webster, thinks so much for turning on your
radio this afternoon, or this morning, or whenever you happen
to be listening to this in podcast format.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Great show this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Christian Collins stopping by in just a little bit from
the Texas Youth Summit. He'll be here real soon, like
before you know it, And then in a little bit,
Joseph Trimmer is stopping by from Texas Scorecard. He's a journalist.
He went undercover to take down Antifa in the Houston
area and it got ugly.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So stick around for that.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
All that and lots more coming up in a little bit,
But first, let's talk about crime in the city. Maybe
you've heard our president right now, he is sending nine
hundred National Guard troops, members of the National Guard out
onto the streets of Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
People on the left are very mad about that. They're angry.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
They said, you're militarizing the streets, you know, posse kamatatis.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You can't do that. That's against this in the constitution.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You can't have paramilitary troops or the military and the
police are supposed to be separate for a reason. But
real quick though, why nine hundred. Oh, it turns out
nine hundred is the number that the Washington d C.
Police force is short right now for new recruits. We
need nine hundred cops on the street. A little later
in the show, we're going to talk to Joseph Trimmer,
(02:13):
a journalist who went undercover with Antifa in the Houston
area recently and determined that they were actually planning to
go out and purportedly do some violent assaults on ICE agents.
Not unlike what happened in the Dallas Fort Worth area recently.
Probably not too surprising that something that happened with far
left agitators in the DFW area is also taking place
(02:35):
in Houston.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I mean, that's not shocking, is it.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
And if it happened in Dallas Fort Worth, if it's
happening in Houston, Texas, why wouldn't it be happening in Washington, DC.
Remember the Summer of Love, Remember Summer at twenty twenty.
They got out and they rioted in every major city
in America. The left is very capable of this. They're
very comfortable with it. They don't care if they burned
(03:00):
down old statues or destroy the city. They don't care.
Yesterday on the show, we played an audio SoundBite of
Joe Scarborough, the morning show host on MSNBC, admitting out loud,
a lot of left wing Democrats, politicians, journalists, they actually
are quietly celebrating Donald Trump policing the streets of Washington,
DC because it's not a safe place. There was a
(03:22):
poll that was recently conducted by the Washington Post, not
exactly a right wing news outlet, and it was done
three months ago. They asked residents on the streets of Washington,
d C. Is it's safe here. Turns out no, most
people say it's not safe. More than half of the
people said it's a very serious or extreme problem in
(03:42):
the city, back before they knew Donald Trump was going
to do anything about it.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Here's the key point, and it's.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Really the interesting point that all these left wing ivory
tower occupying, privileged, insulated elites are missing out on. Listen
to this report. It's a quote from the report quote.
There are stark divides along lines of race and income
in the poll, with black residents and lower income residents
significantly more worried about crime than white residents and those
with higher income, as they were last year. Black women
(04:12):
are among the most concerned. Sixty five percent say crime
is very or extremely serious issue, compared to eighty two
percent who said the same thing last year. Now this
is the Washington Post who, now three months later, is
telling you the streets of Washington, DC are safe. Why
because now it makes Donald Trump look bad. Oh, here's
(04:34):
another quote from the article, from a new article. It's
a new article, this is a safe city, but overhearing
and witnessing gang threats and then watching the camera footage
of the thuggery is disturbing. Oh that's the old This
is from the old article. Sorry so again. Three months
ago they admitted it was dangerous. A crowd of teams
roaming the street appear to be checking for unlocked cars
and things to steal.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
The Washington Post can only find one residence as say
the city was safe, and this one resident can only
say if his or her name wasn't used in the article.
My god, Breitbart dot com reporting on what Washington Post
wouldn't tell you. The crime today three months later is
actually quite bad. And really, what it boils down to
is this, if you're an affluent white person in Washington,
(05:20):
d C. Yeah, it's true, you're probably not too worried
about crime. You live in a rich white neighborhood. You
don't care. You could take an uber to get somewhere.
There's valet parking when you get to your building, if
you even are driving yourself. You probably have security wherever
you go. In the places in Washington, d C. Where
lawmakers go, everything's fine. The place where political staffers reside.
(05:42):
It's safe, it's clean, they're not worried about it. But
if you're a working class, if you're a low income person,
if you're a minority that is not lucky enough to
be part of the political elite. Yeah, Washington, d c.
Is a pretty dangerous place.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
The only thing that hurts more than pay taxes not
paying taxes. Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
All right, this is a lot of fun. There's this
woman who got into trouble.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
She lied about being a nurse, and they hired her
and she treated over four thousand patients. They even promoted
her over and over for being so good at being
a nurse. Then they found out she wasn't really a nurse,
and she got caught and now she's in trouble. Her
name Hunter Biden. No that's not true, But there is
a news story today regarding Hunter Biden that I thought
(06:34):
was a little fascinating.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Before we get to any of that, I want to
read the lineup for.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You guys of a speech coming up a convention up
in the Woodlands that you may want to check out.
I am very impressed with this lineup. September nineteenth and
twentieth at the Marriott in the Woodlands. Any of you
guys go into this thing. Ted Cruz is going to
be there. Congressman Wesley Hunt is going to be in attendance.
(06:58):
Alex Clark, Alex Bruce Away, Christian Collins is going to
be there. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. She is all over
the news today for some fascinating things she just said
about interdimensional time travel and what the government may or
may not know about it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Really interesting stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Mayra Flores State Representative Brian Harrison somewhat of a regular
on this show lately. And oh yeah, this guy Kenny
Webster is going to be telling jokes, doing a little
bit of conservative comedy for the Texas Youth Summit twenty
twenty five. There's other people. There was a long list
of people. Denesh Desuz, a lot of speakers. You could
check out the full lineup the Texas Youth Summit dot com. Now,
(07:39):
I know what you're thinking, not Kenny, I'm not at youth.
I'm an adult. Adults can go to this. The reason
they call it the Youth Summit is because college kids
in high school kids are allowed to attend for free.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Lots of adults. Got I've been.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I've gone every year for the last several years, and
I will tell you this is one of the only
political conventions I look forward to for a few reasons.
Number one Young Republicans. Number two, local, very Texas oriented
Texas Youth Summon number three. It is a common It
is almost entirely made up of maga, right wing, populous
and liberty Republicans.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yours truly for example, always in attendance.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Love that, and the guy that puts the whole thing together,
my buddy, Christian Collins is on the line right now. Christian,
I am told this is going to be the biggest
Texas Youth Summit yet.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Well, Kenny, thank you so much for all you do
to spread the good word throughout the state. You're just
incredible and thank you for your friendship. And I'm excited
that you're coming to the Texas Youth Summit. This event
is September nineteenth and twentieth at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott
And like you said, we make it free to youth.
But if you're an adult, even if you don't have kids,
(08:48):
come on, you know, buy a ticket. Go to Texas
Youth Summit dot com. Slash advance, sign up and be
a part of the action. We've got a lot of
good things ahead. And last year it was streamed on
Fox Nation and covered by Fox and Friends and Real
Erica's Voice and right Side Broadcasting Network and Victory Channel Flashpoint.
It has a big footprint across the nation and there's
(09:11):
a lot of good speeches that you'll hear on a
lot of different subjects. Some of those that you didn't
mention are Yamney Park, Abby Johnson, Seth Gruber. So you know,
Yamny's a defector from North Korea, and Seth Kruber and
Abbie Johnson are big pro life activists. Abby's a former
planned parented director who became a pro life activist. And
(09:32):
then there's Chloe Cole. She's a de transitioner and she
talks about the harmful effects of just being in the
situation where she was trying to become a boy. And
now you know, she's she's got the right head on
her shoulders and she's you know, walking in who God
called her to be, which is really good to see.
So so many great speakers, and you're among them. I
(09:54):
really appreciate your wit and humor and all your good commentary.
So thank you for getting a yourself there at that conference.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Getting one of my Hey, dude, it's a great honor
to be a part of it. I look forward to
it every year, Christian, And you know, for the adults listening,
I know there's a lot of people out there that
are involved in local and state politics. One of the
things I find so cool about the Texas Youth Summit,
it's kind of what's going on behind the scenes. People
are obviously giving speeches and it's catered and tailored towards
young conservatives. But if you head over at that in
(10:23):
the lobby, if you head down the way over there
to the Marriott bar, you find a lot of very
prominent politicians, lobbyists, strategists, political candidates, journalists, reporters, media social
media influencers hanging out, you know, having a coffee, having
a nice team, maybe having a cocktail in the later hours,
and it's a great networking opportunity. I've met so many
(10:45):
fascinating people at these events in the past, and I
you know, I feel like if someone out there is
running for office or trying to get their political campaign
off the ground, or if there's somebody out there that's
a social media influencer. This is a really good way
to I mean, right games I met Riley Gains at
one of these events, Ted Cruz in the past, Danesh Desuza.
(11:06):
Such an awesome experience for people that are trying to
get into the political scene on a local or national level.
And Texas Youth Summit offers that kind of access to people,
doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yes, Yes, And you know, it's really a great thing
for you know, people that are millennials or older than that,
if you want to make connections in the political and
it's a great thing for you. And it's also a
good thing for our youth because it's like a hub
and we got a lot of good nonprofits that are
going to be there, Live Action, it's a big pro
life organization that's sponsoring Leadership Institute, Turning Point USA. I
(11:41):
could go on, but there's a long list of sponsors.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Even if you're not.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
A political organization, you can sponsor what we're doing and
help us be a part of it. We got Construction
and sponsoring us, so we're great for the support that
we're getting. You get a really great VIP package. It's awesome,
and what we have is young people get connected to
those nonprofits, they go work for him. We've had young
people go work for state representatives, for members of Congress.
(12:06):
One of ours went to go work for Congressman Matt Gates.
She later went to go work for Leadership Institute. So
you know, those connections are made at the Texas Youth
on It. So we are a gateway to getting young
people involved in politics. And by the way, we've had
one marriage from it, so you might meet your wife
or you might meet your husband at that event. So
you know, we're excited about the product that we've put
(12:28):
out and there are good things ahead from it.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Christian, I'm just curious, who is it that found out?
Who is it they got a marriage out of it.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
I gotta go look at his name. I talked to
him recently, the Montgomery County Republican Party precinct chair in
the Woodlands. I need to go find his name.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
He's a great guy.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
He met his wife I think just working one of
the boots and so yeah, I mean, it's it's it's exciting.
I'm gonna name drop him as soon as I figure
out that name. You know, I should, I should know.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
That's well, it's okay, Christian. The reason I asked you
that I was wondering if you were hinting at yourself.
Didn't you get engaged recently?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I did get engaged. Didn't meet her at the college,
but you know, thankfully she was going to Turning Point
women's conferences before she met me, and she's a strong
Christian and excited to get that part of my life going.
And you know, even at the lad age at thirty seven,
God has somebody for you. You just got to keep
(13:26):
in prayer and stay persistent and be patient and painful.
So that's good. See how this all shakes up the.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Texas Youth summ At Texas Youth Summit dot com, organized
by Christian Collins.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You heard him explain how to contact him. But if
you want to.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Get tickets, it's really inexpensive, And if you want to
be a sponsor, that doesn't cost much either. But if
you're a college kid, if you have a college kid
in your life or a high school kid in your life,
and you'd like to turn them on to some really based,
red pilled, right wing, wholesome political perspectives, some information that
might change their life. The Texas Youth Summit dot Com.
(14:01):
Go there, today you will be glad you did. Christian,
my brother from another congratulations on the engagement again, my man.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
We could certainly slow the aging process if aging had
to pass its way through slow ass Congress, take another vacation.
Why don't you Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
So they just did this study on Burger King. Turn
that down, thank you. They just did a study. They
determined Burger King has the cheapest coffee in America, I mean,
the most value right now. There is a catch to
get it, you have to go to Burger King. I
don't know if I'd want to do that. Didn't Burger
King have a scandal a while back where they had
(14:43):
horse meat instead of beef and everybody was really mad
about that. But if you think about it, it's like
they accidentally gave you a leaner, healthier meat, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Hi, everybody, thanks for getting connected.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
We are live on the radio right now, but we're
also live on social media, and you, as you could
probably guess, often do these live streams on social media
when I have a guest in studio, and right now
I do have a guest in studio. Mister Joseph trimmer.
Get that mic a little closer to your face there,
young man. How are you doing, my brother, I.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Am doing well. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I have a lot of important issues to talk to
you and your audience about.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I can't wait to hear about them. Joseph, you do
something really interesting. I admire this.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
You are.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
First of all, you're affiliated with Texas Scorecard, so you're
in good company. We have a lot of people from
I mean, Brandon and Michael do the show every week, Michael, Quinn,
Solomon and I do a week in review every Friday.
You work at what I think is one of the
most important news outlets in the country and the very
least in the state of Texas, and you do something
pretty bold and brave. You go out and go undercover.
(15:43):
Undercover journalism to me is fascinating because you're you know,
so I've been punched before, yeah, for going out and
doing interviewing people at protest and stuff like that. It's
not hard to believe that this mouth got me punched.
But you know, but for somebody like you, you actually
seem like a really nice guy. And I'm just gonna
climb out on a limb here and guess that going
undercover and doing journalism is probably one of the more
(16:04):
dangerous things you've done in your life. You don't strike
me as a guy that used to be a criminal
or a drug dealer or anything like that.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Nothing like that. But I've certainly lived a fascinating life.
I'll say that, how old are you? I am thirty six,
And how'd you get into this line of work? So
my background is in the business world. I was a
chief operating officer of a company called bomb Tech. I
worked for Amazon for Lime Scooters. I was a city launcher,
launching scooters in Mexico City and in.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Cancun.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And you mean those scooters you see laying around on
the street.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yeah, I was a tech bro like launching scooters all
over Mexico because I speak Spanish, and so.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You know what, I've always wondered about that.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
When you're in downtown Washington, d C, Fort Worth, whatever,
you see the scooters laying around because they ran out
of batteries, isn't it like? Don't homeless people steal that
stuff and throw it in a river? I assume they must.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Well, I can share with you, Mike. I only operated
internationally in Mexico City, and I can tell you we
had a lot of scooters stolen in Mexico City.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Shockingly, there was crime in Mexico. Huh oh.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
It was, you know, a wild time in twenty nineteen
when venture capital was flowing by the billions and billions
of dollars. It was really more about how many cities
can we launch because we had a competitor that was
also getting massive funding, and so we were everywhere. Ultimately,
a lot of the cities closed down, the markets shut down,
(17:34):
and only the profitable markets remained for those companies.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
All Right, So at some point you decided to leave
the tech world and become a journalist. You're a conservative,
you're a journalist. Yep, that is. Those two things don't often.
I mean now it's becoming more common, obviously because of
things like Brightbart and The Daily Caller and Fox News.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But there was a time when almost no journalist were conservative.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Well, let me share something with you. I am one
of those people that I didn't start as a conservative
or a Republican. In fact, it's been a long journey
for me. I used to believe a lot of dumb
things that I learned in college, and you know, as
I grew up and had real jobs and responsibilities. I
(18:16):
found out that I had been lied to my whole life.
And then, you know, once I started having a relationship
with the Lord, everything became much more clear. And you know,
the Holy Spirit makes things extremely clear, and so I
you know, I could not be anything other than somebody
(18:38):
that's a conservative in my in my today.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Isn't that interesting for me?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It was college in college, I remember, I'm not shockingly
a guy that worked in radio was a DJ in
college and I got booked to DJ at the Jewish
student Union. It wasn't a fraternity, but it was like
a house where the students went through parties and I
remember walking into the building and there were Palestinian activists
out front. And it's one thing to protest, but these
guys were just clearly yelling anti Semitic slurs. And to me,
(19:05):
up until this point, the only Jewish kids I knew
were like my friends I watched South Park with, so
I've never really heard anyone that just hated Jews. And
I remember thinking as I walked in, I don't know
what I am, but I'm not those guys. And then
from there it brought me to libertarianism and conservativism, and
the red pill moment usually happens is the point of
the story, not because of what you are, but you
(19:26):
realize it's what you're not, you know what I mean.
It's like, I'm not a communist. Ironically libertarianism. Although we
get accused of being fascists and authoritarians on the right
all the time, we're the more liberty minded people.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It's the people on the left that are more authoritarian.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
That's that's true anyways.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So I don't want to waste a lot of time
here because we're going to run out of time. At
some point, you start working a Texas Scorecard and you
discover in your coverage of Southeast Texas your job at Texas.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Scorecard, specifically, my job for what I was hired at
the Scorecard is I am the city local journalists in
Houston covering Houston Harris County.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
That's my official position.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And you recently went viral for what I think is
a fascinating reason. You went undercover with a bunch of
liberal activists, essentially people that were involved in some pretty violent,
dangerous stuff, or alluding to the fact that they want
something violent and dangerous to happen. Yeah, it is a
group of You didn't describe them as Antifa, you described
(20:28):
them as what what's the group called.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Yeah, this is specifically the Party for Socialism and Liberation
that I caught on this undercover footage. There's a lot
to know about them, and there's been now multiple great
articles written about this video and going into it. I
don't know if you want to get into it. It's
not as interesting because this is not the only group.
(20:51):
There's many leftist far left groups in Houston right now
doing things like this, And the worst part of it
is that you're helping fund this with your tax dollars
as a taxpayer in Harris County.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, it's kind of amazing too, because it looks an
awful lot like what just happened up in Dallas Fort Worth.
You have all these people on the fire left. They're
basically communists, whether they know it or not. A socialist
is just somebody who's too stupid to.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Know that they're a communist.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
And these guys planned and tried to execute an attack
on an ice facility. People got hurt, people got arrested.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
This year alone, there's been a tax on two different
facilities in the State of Texas armed attacks in one case,
the you know it was a group of a large group.
I think it was ten people through firecrackers at an
ICE facility, trying to lure officers out and then actually
open fire on them. So when you see people saying
(21:51):
things like what's on this video and not a month ago,
you know this other thing happened in Texas the city
since need to be aware.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, okay, So we've got this video playing right now.
For those of you listening on the radio, you can't
see it, but so we'll have to describe it to you.
You're wearing a camera, a hidden cameras and so in
the video, you're where exactly where is this?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
This is at a Unitarian church here in Houston.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Okay, And how did you get invited to this? How
did you find out about it?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Trade secrets? Okay, just kidding.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Well, let me tell you exactly what happened, Okay, if
you want sure. So what happened was that I've been
covering the protest in Houston, the anti ice protest in Houston,
writing about it and making public facing videos. You know
where I'm recording and they know I'm recording them. At
the protest surrounded by police. And at the latest protest
(22:49):
at the cor Civic Immigration Center, the Party for Socialism
and Liberation had their main organizer in Houston shouting at
the crowd that he was building a network to target
ice officers and chase them out of Houston neighborhoods in
front of the police.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
It's not like they didn't know about this.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
And then they asked people to sign up for a
QR code to join the group, and I did, and
so then I went to their first meeting with undercover cameras,
and I have pre existing relationships with other groups that
do undercover work. And so what's happening now in Harris
(23:30):
County that I live here is that you know, if
you're doing things like this, you can certainly expect, you
know that somebody out there is going to record you
if you're in public, and you should maybe reconsider targeting
federal officers in Texas here in Houston, because we're not
going to allow that to continue.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
All right, So this video is a little longer than
eight minutes long, and you know, why don't you just
give us the cliff and outs here? What are some
of the things you caught these people saying on hidden.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Camera Cliff notes version one quote was something similar and
now I could be paraphrasing because I'm working off of
my memory.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That's okay, Yeah, purportedly allegedly.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
So for sure, but it is on video. And what
he said is that.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Their friend organization with the PSL in Ventura, California, formed
a similar group, after which they were modeling the group
in Houston. And then he said that this is a
group that you might remember a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
there was a pot farm that was with kids.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
On it in California, right, Yeah, they had children there
and there was pretty violent, got crazy, but kids working illegally.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
I didn't realize how violence it was.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
So the reason it was violent is according to this man,
his you know, friendly organization out there that they're trying
to copy here in Houston, battled ice agents at the
pot farm and ring to him, actually prevented you know,
multiple illegal aliens from being arrested, which is something that
(25:09):
I did not know from the authorities. And I don't
know if it's true or not. He could just be boasting,
but that is what he said.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
And he said that the reason they couldn't save all
of the illegal aliens is because they were not armed
with the appropriate weapons for that.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Okay, so I where did he go on what would
what would be the appropriate weapons to go out and
fight government agents exactly?
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Well, he didn't elaborate that, but he he did get
into and his associate there another organizer, that female you know,
say that you know, they're seeking to establish a range
of tactics here in Houston, involving things such as de
arresting people. And for and for context, de arresting people
(25:56):
means that you physically prevent an arrest by mass by
a mass people, you know, pushing against maybe shoving, that
type of thing. That's how it's been described to me
when I was talking to the timcast crew that that's
(26:17):
what that strategy means for the arresting.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I love, man, it's a fascinating story. I want to
hear about what happened after. You want to undercover with
these guys and what you're planning to do next. Stick around, folks,
We're going to take a quick break. If you are
watching us live streaming right now on social media, we're
not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We'll be back in seconds.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
If you're listening on the radio, support some of these
great advertisers, and don't go anywhere they see.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Whenever you lose sight of the enemy, look behind you. Yeah,
that's a bad paranoia right there. Probably brought on by
a bong ripper too, Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
All right, So the big news this week in pop culture,
Taylor Swift is releasing her twelfth studio album. No word
yet on when she's gonna release. Travis kelce nobody knows.
Travis Kelcey says dating Taylor Swift feels normal here now,
with a response eleven previous boyfriends.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I gotta think it's speaking of normal. Yeah. Isn't it
weird too?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
How these pop culture icons Taylor Swift and they always
choose the wrong side, don't they. Taylor Swift would probably
look at the work that Joseph Trimmer just did here
and he would say, Hey, Joseph, why are you marginalizing
all these minorities? You must be some kind of a
white supremacist. How long have you been a neo Nazi?
Speaker 7 (27:29):
For Joseph, Well, let me tell you something, because this
is a common question, and not only that people you
know say, hey, aren't you.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Mexican or something. So you should be.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Like no, you should be like no, I'm African American.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
I'm a Mexican American, you know, from Mexican heritage. My
family immigrated legally into the United States a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
And then mine too, they're from Italy.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
It is a you know, a huge it's a huge
insult to people that put in the work to come
legally into this country to then just cross the river
and then get you know, your rent paid for and
get your food paid for, and get your doctors paid
for and get you know, cash assistance and etcetera, etcetera,
(28:19):
by the billions and billions and billions of dollars. And
you know what, Americans are struggling out there, and it's
not fair, and it's not fair for legal immigrants. And
you know, let me tell you a very personal story,
if that's okay, Yeah, please do. My my mother murdered
my dad when I was eight years old. My god,
(28:39):
my dad was who put in the work to be
a US citizen.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Okay, he he.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Did the right things and the only thing that he
left me it was my life and that I was
a US citizen. I'm actually a dual citizen with Mexico
because my mom was a Green card holder is she's
in prison right now, and so I take this very
personally for somebody who you know is here only because
somebody put in that work. It is extremely offensive and
(29:08):
disgusting that our government would let cheaters get into the
front of the line. That's not how it works. It
never has worked like that, and it's not okay. Joseph,
so that how old were you when that happened to you?
I was eight years old.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
You were eight? So what'd you do? Did you go
live with family? Where did you go after that?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
I bounced around friends of the family all over. I
have a really interesting upbringing because as a result of
not having my parents, I lived in Baltimore and Los
Angeles and Chicago, and I lived in Mexico for a
few years. As a kid, I was on the run
with my mom in Mexico for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
When you were did you know you were on the
run because you're eight?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
I mean, you know when the first thing, when that
first happened, I got really close to my mom and
my family on my dad's side was always kind of
confused by that. But it's just I loved my mom,
and you know, I couldn't judge her. And I one
time saw some fat I saw my dad hit my
(30:11):
mom one time and I called the police hun him
when I was like five, And so I can't really judge.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
And you know, my mom does have a lot of issues.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
She is. I think she's probably a sociopath based on
the type of things that she did, drugs and prostitution,
things like that. And so, in a very weird way,
God saved me by by this happening because I didn't
grow up in that environment. I had people that cared
(30:44):
about me, my grandma, my uncles, and the Lord was
there for me the entire time.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
And so.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
That's kind of the background and why I care about
this issue. Okay, so I am from Chicago. I don't
know if you know that about me. Do you know
what part of Chicago you were in? I'm just curious. Yeah,
this is when I was first starting college. I was
going to Illinois Institute of Technology.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Y I t I know it. Well, yeah, the near
south Side. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Wow, outside, like right in the middle of the ghetto
is where we were. I don't remember much about it
was so long ago, but I remember just just just
I always knew that if I don't build something on
my own, that I have nothing to fall back on.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
And so.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Just this idea of anything as possible is something that
I was excited for. But then I went into the
corporate world and I'm just so happy to have arrived
at journalism, which I think is my calling from God.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
How did you get connected with Michael Quinn Sullivan and
the team at Texas Scorecard? I mean that's they're not
in Houston, And also how did you end up in
Houston if you don't mind me asking.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Well, I was working for I was a chief operating
officer for a company in Louisiana, and we reached a
point where I couldn't really help them anymore because we
were pivoting the company into financial services, which required somebody
with a background in banking, which I didn't have. So I, uh,
(32:13):
just you know that relationship ended in the most positive
way possible, you know, I I agreed with everything, and uh,
the Lord gave me instantly. I've been wanting to move
back to Texas because I was leaving in New Orleans,
which is hell.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well, apparently now they're cleaning it up, They're getting rid
of the homeless people. They said, the murder rates now
to fifty year low, not shockingly because Maga Republican Jeff
Landry sent the Louisiana State Troopers in to police the
streets of.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
The big city.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Does that out really, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Yeah, that's all very recent stuff. He cleaned up the city.
I mean I was just there. I couldn't believe.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
How much a chargeack.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
One lady got carjacked and she held onto the steering.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
She got her she died, I think.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
And yeah, it ripped her arm off. Yeah, that was
a few years ago. I was living there. It was
That's when I started caring for the first time, because
I was scared. It's just not a It wasn't a
good place to live.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Bond reform they called. They called it liberty. We're gonna
let all the criminals out of jail. That was a
previously released criminal. That story is unbelievable. We're on the
radio in New Orleans and our listeners were really mad
about that.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Yeah, oh well, shout out to uh bomb Tech then
and Ritchie Bambi out there.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
So, Joseph, how often you talk to your mom? I mean,
are you in communication with her? Where is she right now.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
She's in prison in Gatesville, Texas.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Okay, so she's I've been to that prison she got
I went. I went there and I interviewed what's her name,
Donna Goodo. I don't think you probably know who that is,
but she's she's a famous criminal who went viral.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
On the end. They put some I don't know how
they determined that, but the lady that killed Selena was
there too.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Anyway, it's near Temple Colleen, right, I don't know, right,
central Texasville, sure, right, Yeah. So as a teenager, I
stopped talking to her. I got angry at God and
at her and just became an atheist liberal, you know
type just I was just going in the wrong path,
and the Lord saved me. But I'm as I'm mature
(34:17):
and get older, I just realized I need to follow
the Ten Commandments and really honor her. And she's in
a place, and this is something that I've never written about,
but the conditions and some of these Texas prisons are
really horrific. You don't want to live there. Obviously it's
a punishment, but you know, she has no air conditioning
(34:40):
and it gets extremely hot in the summer and it's
just brutal. And so she got sentenced to ninety nine
years and her parole dates coming up in like three
years now, and so probably will hire lawyers to try
to assist her because it's I feel like she says
she found the Lord, and I'm no one to j
If I have the means, I'm going to get her
(35:01):
a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Do you want her to get out?
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (35:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think I think she's had this conversion.
I think the Lord has saved her. And also she's
going to get deported immediately, so it's not like she's
a threat to the United States.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Where would they send her to Mexico? I say, right, wow, Joseph,
your story is fascinating. I mean, I'm a fan of
the website obviously, Michael and Brand and her friends.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Oh I didn't even get to how I know him?
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Yeah, no, you didn't. How do you know, Joseph? How
do you know Michael Quintel? How did you end up
at Texas scorecard dot Com? We're running out of time,
by the way.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Yeah, I started doing just because I had a calling
for it, independent reporting. I went undercover and exposed the
children camps here in Texas. There's a whole bunch of them,
these missing kid camps. And then I was freaking out
about that, and I prayed to the Lord, there's a
(35:56):
whole thing. My grandma was dying and I went back
to see my grandma and last thing she said is
you need to come back to church. And so she
died and I took that seriously. I came back to
Catholic church. I'm a Catholic.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I'm a Catholic too. Where do you go?
Speaker 7 (36:09):
I am still looking for the right parish. I'm kind
of testing, Like I like the Co Cathedral. It's it's
pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I got to Saint Michael. It's right down the street from.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
There's one in the Woodlands that I really liked. I
think it's called like Saint Simon. I live up there. Okay,
so uh, basically, I after the camps, I was at
church for the first time and I had confessed myself,
and I took the Eucharist for the first time in
a long time, and I just felt the Holy Spirit
(36:40):
just burn inside me like once. The Eucharist wasn't like
in my mouth. It felt like fire and electricity and
just like a wake up call. And I asked the
Lord to help me spread the message about these children
that were being trafficked in Texas. And so then the
next day or so, I met Ben Ben Berkham. The
(37:03):
Lord brought somebody who could help me. He introduced me
to Ben Berkham. We went live on TV on Bannon
Show and then Steve Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
And then.
Speaker 7 (37:14):
Then the Governor Abbott banned uh CBP from Shelby Park
UH and the Holy Spirit told me you need to
be there, and so I went to Shelby Park that
immediately after the governor did that, and caught the National
Guard handing illegal aliens to CBP despite what the governor
was saying. And then I went back on Steve Bannon's
(37:38):
show and I asked Ben, like, I really like this
is all political theater anyway, it doesn't matter. We really
should talk about the camps. And Ben was like, just
do what's in your heart. And so I went on
Bannon's show. He thought I was going to talk about
Shelby Park and I was like, nah, let's talk about
the these I just went undercover and found out there's
hundreds of thousands of kids being handed too poorly vetted
(38:00):
sponsors in Texas. And that report when extremely viral and
somehow nothing was done, and then six months later, three
hundred thousand kids are declared missing by the federal government.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
My God, Joseph's I don't think it's a coincidence. There
are no coincidences. You were supposed to meet Michael quinn Sullivan.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
That's how he followed me from that story, so I
DMed him.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Yeah, and you were supposed to meet you were supposed
to meet Bannon. I don't believe in coincidences. There's too many.
I mean, the weirdest, strangest, most surreal moments of my
life were it was always just a random series of
coincidences that led me right to where I needed to
believe be right at this exact specific moment. Yeah, and
when that, whenever that happens, I realized these weren't coincidences.
There's a hand guiding us. There's a divine.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Force that knows that.
Speaker 7 (38:44):
I've been able to get so in tune with that
as I get closer to God that I can say
that every report that you've shown was fully informed by
the Holy Spirit who told me you need to be
here at this time. Talk to this persona say this things,
this is what they're gonna say, and I do it,
(39:05):
and that's the result.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Joseph, I knew you'd be an interesting guest to talk
to today. This has totally exceeded my expectations. I did
not expect any of those stories. It's fascinating. You got
to write more. I mean you already do. You're a
journalist covering this stuff. What's next for you?
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Well, I don't think I can fully announce.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Because it's undercover journalism here.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
No, I'm okay with people knowing that I'm undercover. It's
like expect me.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
But I love that.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
The problem not the problem.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
The opportunity is that there's a potential partnership in the
works now that I won't mention names.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
But working on a deal for your career where uh.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
It's what scorecards.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
Scorecard is likely to make a deal with another organization
that will. Now this undercover stuff that you saw me post,
there's a reason why I was allowed to post that
in the first place. And from now on, I think
that Harris County citizens will be much more informed about
what's happening here. You're not going to get this from
(40:02):
your mainstream media for the most part. I don't think
they'll even cover my videos or really you'd be sorry
about it.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I don't know you'd be Sometimes we make them.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yesterday, the Houston Chronicle published one of my opads. It
went viral for that they it did so well, they
published they made a video to talk about my article.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
I have noticed that that the there's this editor from
from the Houston Chronicle that is, you know, doing he's
platforming conservatives.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Evan Mens Yeah, yeah, I haven't sat in the cherry.
He was here a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Yeah, I don't know anything about him other that I
see him. It appears that he's really doing it. It's
a strategy, in my opinion by the Houston Chronicle because
they've been completely embarrassed. They shared an article about how
Mariachi's were scared in Houston because of ice.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
So please, okay, it's a big news outlet.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
I've learned to be more objective that just because somebody
at a news outlet has an opinion I don't agree
with it, does I mean everybody there does. But of course,
if you go back and look at my body of work,
for years I criticized the Houston Chronicle, and this week
they published an article of mine and I had some
people call me a hypocrite, But the reason I criticized
him is because I didn't think people on our side
were being represented in their outbed department. We got to
(41:16):
wrap this up because we're running out of time. Joe, Joseph,
you're a smart dude, and I am really impressed by you.
I hope you'll come back and do another interview with
us as you.
Speaker 7 (41:23):
Continue your work. Yeah, I will listen. I'll probably have
a report that's like this at least once a month. Potentially,
if I were to really focus on this, this could
be a weekly thing. Really, there's so much in Harris
County and these people are so dumb that they're just
asking to be exposed.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
We would like to cover it on this radio show.
I hope we can be a part of it for you.
