They call us Nazis so they can justify murdering us

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Giganic government sucks. Suit of Happiness Radio is Deluxe. Liberty
and Freedom will make you smile of a suit of
Happiness on your Radiotyle Justice, Cheeseburgers, a lib rise at.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
A teacher in Rhode Island has been arrested for biting
a student, and that's the latest from Armie Hammer Elementary.
Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for turning on the radio.
Great being here with you this afternoon. A very Texas
centric episode today. Tony Ortiz will be here from Current
Revolt dot Com. There's a Texas business owner that is

(00:43):
feuding with Indian immigrants. We'll tell you the story. New
allegations against Ken Paxton. Sounds like a big nothing burger
to me, but you still deserve to know what's going on,
so stick around with that and very local news. Holly
Hansen will be here from the Texan Dot News. A
judge is stepping down. There's still lawsuit dating back to
the twenty twenty two election that Republicans have filed to

(01:06):
cast doubt on the election results, and we have a
new update on that.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
So stick around. We'll tell you everything that's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
But first we start with this brightbart dot com today
reporting on the misinformation about what's going on with the
Charlie Kirk assassin. We've been told over and over again
that it's not the left's fault, it's not their own rhetoric,
it's not what they're saying, it's not they can't be

(01:32):
held responsible for calling us a Nazi. They've even gone
so far as to suggest the Charlie Kirk assassin was
a groper, a white nationalist, a member of the far
far right. The left actually believes that lying about a
MAGA supporter executing Charlie Kirk would somehow matter to us,
as though that's what this long overdue.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Reckoning is about. These people have no clue.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
The people who created an environment that was ripe for
Charlie Kirk's murder, those in the corporate media, academia, the
Democrat Party, Hollywood, those who issued a foutois with their
relentless Nazi, fascist and white supremacist smears aimed at a
man who only wanted to talk. Well, turns out they
spent the better part of Friday spreading the ludicrous on

(02:17):
its face. Why that the twenty two year old charged
with public execution was a Donald Trump supporter. The desperation
doesn't surprise me. These people have never seen the conservative movement,
this united, this energized, this angry, and most importantly, this effective.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
They feel our resolve.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
They two sensed the switch that flipped on that horrible
Wednesday afternoon. They are scared, and now they are flailing
away like a drowning man, grasping anything, including what we
all knew was nonsense even before everything went dog day
afternoon and the transsexual made his late arrival to explain
the motive. What does surprise me is how stupid this

(03:00):
tactic is. These monsters actually believe that the political affiliation
of the assassin is what's mobilizing us. Don't you degenerates
understand the only thing mobilizing us is you. Charlie Kirk's
assassin could be John Wayne for all we care. That
has nothing to do with anything. It's the reaction to

(03:21):
the assassination, right, It's you. What has forever mobilized us
is watching thousands, literally thousands of teachers, government workers, lawyers, academics,
healthcare workers, and other professionals in the Democrat Party celebrate
his murder. What's mobilizing us is the realization that this

(03:44):
is not the dregs of the Internet celebrating the public
political execution of a man guilty of nothing more than
wanting to talk. We now know the rank and file
and the Democrat Party have shed their humanity and they
want us dead. What's mobile us is the regime media defending, shielding,

(04:05):
and seeking to protect these sociopaths rather than holding them accountable.
It's the same media that destroyed the life of a
nobody rodeo clown who dared to wear a Barack Obama
mask and made every elected Republican answer for that mask.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Do you remember that? Are you old enough to remember that?
Google it?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
If you don't, everything changed on Wednesday afternoon, and no
amount of lying, no fake please for unity, will bring
it back. This Jesse Smollett style lie you're looking to
frame Mago with to deflect from an obscene crime that
you have spent years orchestrating and encouraging. That's just more

(04:45):
fuel for our resolve and now you will reap what
you sew.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
You're listening to Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness. Please, if
you're offended by anything you heard, to get a piece
of paper, write down a detailed description of what and
facts it to one eight eight eight nobody gives um.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, Hispanic Heritage Month runs from today to October fifteenth,
but this year's festivities might get put on ice get
it because you know they're illegal. I'm sure it's just
a coincidence. It's the only heritage celebration that crosses the
border between two months. Why do they do that? I
don't know the answer, but we do have some information

(05:27):
about what the what the the Hispanic community is doing
here right now from current revolt dot com TONI is
it Tony Ortiz is here?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Is it Latino or Hispanic? What do you like?

Speaker 5 (05:40):
I just go with brown. That's kind of all encompassing brown.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'm told in some parts of the country they want
to be called Latino, and other parts of Hispanic, like Vegas,
they're Hispanic. Trump went there and he addressed the crowd
once fantasy. He said are you Latino? And they were
like no, and then he goes are you Hispanic? They
go yes. It's like, I don't know why that's important
to them. You know, I want to call people what
they want to be called, even if it's a trainee,
as long as they're not violating my rights.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Fine, I'll call them whatever they want.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
You know, Yeah, I mean it's a bit obnoxious with
everybody kind of picking and choosing whatever they want to
be called. I am a I'm an American brown man,
and that's good enough.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
You're a brown American, Tony Ortiz. I like that about you, Tony.
There's an app now that was created by a guy
here in Texas, and it's designed to sabotage US federal
agents attempting to find and arrest the millions of foreigners
who scam their way into the United States. That's how
you explain it on your website.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
What is this?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's an app that lets you scare illegals with ICE
warnings or does it work the other way?

Speaker 5 (06:43):
Well, it actually could kind of work either way you want. Right, So,
this leftist man, this leftist Texas man, designed an app
called ice Block, And if you're an illegal, an illegal
or a leftist that wants to be aware of ICE
in your area, you can report that ice'sing out operations
or hanging out. And if you're a subscriber to this,

(07:03):
like you'll get a notification saying, hey be careful, ICE
is down the street. Right. But what people have noticed,
and when I guess what right wingers have started to
adopt is taking the downloading the app for themselves and
then putting in a bunch of fake notifications all across
Texas to scare legals to get the heck out.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
That's actually really funny. I like that idea. I might
want to. I might want to give it a try.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I don't know, but then I might I'd feel weird
about having it on my phone too.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Is it safe.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
That I don't know? See? My plan is to find
a really nice hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and
then just bombard it with ice warnings before I go,
so that way I can get really really good service
by the time I.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Arrived, Tony, you and I both grew up in Chicago,
and then we moved to Texas years later. Obviously it
was a big upgrade. But in Chicago we actually have
Mexican restaurants. In Texas, even though we're closer to Mexico,
a lot of the restaurants are max And I'm just curious,
as a mex as a Brown American, what do you.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Prefer, you know, believe it or not. Kenny, despite being
a Mexican that doesn't speak Spanish, like I've never learned Spanish.
I also really don't like Mexican food that much. I'm
not a big purveyor of the Mexican food. I enjoy it,
but it's not something I go out of my way
to eat very often. And it is probably because I
was forced to eat it growing up so much. So

(08:25):
it's okay, I don't mind the text mex though, I
don't mind the text mex.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
You know, okay, So obviously the big difference there would
be corn and flour tortilla. I was a little surprised
by this, but I guess apparently. You know, the guy
who's in charge of the FDA now is Health and
Human Services Director RFK Junior, and apparently he has a
problem with Mexican food.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
Respectfully, who gives a shit about Mexican food. Sure it
tastes good, but every dish is the exact same thing.
Everything is a taco, but they call it different things.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
It's full.

Speaker 6 (09:01):
If I served a burger to you upside down, it's
still a burger, okay, it's it doesn't become a salad.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's right.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Someone else has
had to have picked up on this as well.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Right, I mean he's right about that, isn't he tony?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
That is that real?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
No, No, that's not no administration.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
I should not tell anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
No, it's not real. No, but I'm that note. You've
got a point.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
This state Big Arcade Junior has a point like that's
so true because you got like tacos, right, and then
you've got like a slightly larger taco which is a burrito,
and then you've got tacos that are fried that are
called flout does or teqithos, right, So like it's all tacos,
it's just a different.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Form, all right.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I learned this recently. Do you know what a torta is?
Not that food, but.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
The yeah, the the larger Mexican woman.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
All of my Latino buddies, all my Hispanic male friends,
they love tortas. They'll call me on a Friday, Canny,
Let's go get some tortas. That's not really how talk,
but you know, you get the idea. I had to
make it different than my how to talk. All right,
you turny, you are one of my Latino Hispanic, but
you're one of my brown American friends. Obviously, Tony's a
good buddy. And you hear him on the show lot.

(10:13):
You told me something I didn't know. I probably one
third of our audience is Hispanic, and I didn't know
that they don't like Maya Maya Flores.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I thought a lot of Latina Latina. I thought a
lot of the you know, Hispanic conservatives liked her, but
apparently they don't.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Well, I don't know. The pole she's put out is
kind of confusing. Right, So she put out a poll
on her ex account, Myra Flores, who's running for office?
And what does she decide for this time? Christian District
thirty four or something like that, right, and and she
put out a pole, which is really interesting. It's it
shows that, you know, thirty only thirty eight percent of

(10:52):
people are supporting her on the primary ballot. Fifty one
percent are undecided, which is interesting, which is a lot
still be her. Yeah, it's it's notable, but it's this
still be your fourth time running for office, and it's
like our half the people in the district still undecided
if they want to vote for you when you've run
four times. And then furthermore, when they pulled these people,

(11:15):
I think it was like two thousand people. When they
pulled these people for her image, around around half had
no idea who she was, or found her unfavorable or
had no opinion. So like you've run four times, like
the people should know who you are, all right.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
I don't have an issue with her personally, But if
I had to pick my favorite Mexican American Republican is
Anna Paulina Luna.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Can I get a hell yeah on that one?

Speaker 7 (11:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (11:43):
You know, I'm you know, if we're talking about attractive
Latinas in office, I'm a big Cassandra Garcia Hernandez fan.
Who's my state rep. So maybe I'm biased. She's a
nice woman, but she's she's a Democrat, but she is
my state rep. And I have a lot of respect.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
For Yeah, she's not bad looking. All right.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Well, all that being said, apparently you have some news
today about Maya What was that?

Speaker 3 (12:04):
What's going on with her?

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Well, so the story with Mayra Flora's this time is
kind of interesting. So it was first reported by Mark
mckagg of The Texas Voice. But Mayra Flores is again,
this is her fourth time running, and he noticed on
her campaign finance reports that she had been paying herself
a pretty healthy salary of around seven thousand dollars a month,

(12:27):
and when you looked a little bit deeper, noticed that
she was also paying her her family. Her mom was
taking a salary of about five hundred a month, her
son was taking seemingly taking a salary of around one
thousand dollars a month. And I thought, that's interesting, right,
that's a substantial amount of money. And you know, the
the FEC guidelines limit candidates from taking a maximum amount

(12:51):
of around seven thousand, I think like seven thousand, two
hundred a month. So she's shelling out seven thousand dollars
a month to herself and then you know, giving another
five hundred here and there to her and another thousand
dollars to her son, which allows her, I mean technically,
to if you're all living in the same household, or
if they're just funneling the money around, which I'm not
saying she is by any means, you're able to kind
of get past that limit.

Speaker 8 (13:12):
Right.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
But what's even more interesting is I decided to go
ahead and look at her finance reports from last her
last run, her twenty twenty three twenty twenty four run,
and according to Federal Election Commission reports for that run
last year, the Mayra Flores campaign paid out a total
of one hundred and fifty one thousand dollars in wages,

(13:33):
so salaries and reimbursements to people with the last name
of Flores, right, and that includes herself, her mother, her sister,
and another person who we think is a family member.
But we were reached out for comment, she didn't reply.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Wow, interesting stuff. Look, you know, in her defense, she's
not the worst, can't Maxine Waters of California? She might
be the worst. She gives her daughter eight thousand dollars
a month, and I think she actually pays her daughter's
consulting firm. Progressive Connections received over a million dollars in
payments over the last I don't know, a decade or two.
I mean it adds up, right, And that's kind of

(14:08):
the way to get around this. You can only pay
someone so much as a salary, but you could pay
a consulting firm almost anything, can't you.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
That's incredible. Yeah, I didn't know that about Maxine Waters.
And you know what's interesting is like we've all we're everybody,
everybody listening, you and myself, We're all tired of these
career politicians, right, but now we've got career candidates because
back going back to Myra Flores, she hasn't even one,
she hasn't won, she's just running for office. She's just
a candidate. She's not even a career politician. She has
decided to become a career candidate. So pretty incredible. But

(14:40):
you know, I guess it's a living. Maybe we should
maybe we should quit the media gig and just start
a consultancy firm.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Man, we're we are stupid. Have you ever heard of
this one in Houston? I think it's called Pink Cilantro
and Dan Crenshaw is criticized because he was paying them
and they were paying his wife.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
Man, that's wild, that's you know, but nothing surprises me.
Everybody's kind of dipping their money in the pool of
how they can get, how they can grift, how they
can make some money. But then again, there you go
another guy who's an elected official though he's not even
a candidate. He's an elected official. So his career politician, right,
maybe you could call him that. But now he's got
these career candidates, everybody who's just we should just announce

(15:18):
a run I'm going to run for mayor here locally,
you can run for school board or something, and then
maybe we can we can have a little side gig.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah yeah, and you know, and shouldn't we be nicer
to each other in the process.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
That's what Tracy says.

Speaker 8 (15:30):
So I have to share something. It's raining right now,
but I have to share something so special, very sweet
that it just happened. I'm going to my daughter's orientation
heyf for school tonight, and you know, I popped in
to get a coffee and I'll walk in and as
i'm the lady tells me before I give her my card.

Speaker 9 (15:50):
I said.

Speaker 8 (15:50):
She said it'll be what amount and said to me,
that'll be and gave me the mouth and she said
my name and I said I hadn't paid her yet,
so she hadn't seen my car.

Speaker 10 (16:00):
And I said, how did you ted you know my name?

Speaker 8 (16:04):
And she said, because you came in here before and
you gave us a complimentary It.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Was a long story. Sorry, I didn't realize it was
that long when I played the video. That's Tracy Douhon
and she has been accused by a Daily Mail of
having a relationship with Ken Paxton who's currently in the
middle of a divorce. I don't doubt that that could
be true. I do wonder if anyone cares about this.
I mean, Ken Paxton's considered to be the mega candidate,

(16:29):
and now the Daily Mail alleges that Tracy Douhon and
him were having an.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Affair for the last year.

Speaker 7 (16:35):
Is she married? Is that what they're mad about? They're
alleging that. Yeah, they're alleging this affair, and this is
the Daily Mail alleging this. Right, And for the record,
the Paxson campaign did give me a comment when I
asked for their response to the Daily Mail accusations and
their allegations, and there was no in their response. The
Paxsing campaign didn't deny it was an affair. They just

(16:59):
kind of crapped all over Daily Mail. But back to
your question, Yeah, they're alleging that Attorney General Kim Paxton,
who's running for Congresses, had an affair.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
With this Christian influencer. She is a Christian social media influencer, which,
like the irony right, true right, And these are again
these are all allegations, but yeah, she was married and
she only according to the Daily Mail, she only just
filed for finalized her divorce just last month, I think
like two weeks ago actually, And the Daily Mail article

(17:31):
says that her and Senator Attorney General Kim Paxton had
met at the Kentucky Derby last year and they alleged
that this affair has been going on since last year,
which it would make maybe sense because in her divorce
filing Senator Paxton, the missus Paxton, Senator Paxton, when she
filed for divorce against her husband, she alleges that she

(17:53):
discovered a new affair or something to that effect.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
I just can't imagine how voters are going to care
about this, I mean Trump, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, Trump got married, Trump got divorced.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
This wasn't even this happened last week right as Charlie
Kirk news broke, and obviously it didn't really wasn't even
a blip on the radar. You kind of have to
assume John Cornyn was probably behind it. And if John
Cornyn's trying to make the argument that you can't be
a good political leader if you have an imperfect marriage,
what is he saying about Trump, the guy he's trying
to align himself with, I mean, Ken, John Cornyn, excuse me,

(18:24):
has been over backwards to try to make himself look
like a maga Republican, all the while denigrating anyone that's
ever been into a divorce. It feels a little contradictory
to me.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Yeah, I mean the fact. I mean, you guys write
to the point like nobody cares about like affairs, nobody
cares about divorces and especially affairs. Ken Paxon is so
well loved in Texas for the work he's done and stuff.
The dude can be exposed for three more affairs and
maybe five abortions if he had them, and nobody would
care so much so the Paxting campaign, according to Laura

(18:54):
mcgaughey and a tweet she posted in an article, they
said that they had their second highest fundraising day after
Senator Paxton filed for divorce against Ken Paxton. So what
does that tell you about whether or not people care?
Exact you know, he he performed better technically after being

(19:19):
accused of another affair. So yeah, people don't care.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
And that's exactly the opposite of what most media people
will tell you. But I think what you said is
more accurate. I find what you said to be believable,
and I hadn't even seen that pulling data. All right,
let's land down this one before we run out of
time here, because we already went a little long on
this headline. Current revolt dot com Indians declare war on
Texas business owner. I know people, hey when I do this,
but they're talking about dot not feather right, Yes, we.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
Are talking about the dot. We are not talking about
the feathers. The feather people are lovely. But I never
see him. I don't know, are they there? I never
I've never run across any No.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Maybe what happened This was in Dallas in the Union
Park neighborhood. Where is that?

Speaker 5 (19:59):
Yeah? Park is about is in Aubrey, Texas, which is
a city located in Denton County. It's up there mid
It's north of Dallas. And essentially, what has happened. A
business owner, a coffee shop owner, posted a video that
his wife took and she was trying to go home
and her entire street was blocked off because her or

(20:22):
what she alleges her Indian neighbors and what the video
seems to show her Indian neighbors decided to block off
and shut down the street in the middle of the
day to host some kind of festival without seemingly without
any permits or any permission or notifying their neighbors. And
in the video you can see she's trying to drive
home in the city the streets blocked off. Nobody even

(20:43):
bothers to try to clear it for her. You can
hear loud music and drums and there's like forty or
fifty Indians in the video. And so he's rightfully mad.
I would be pissed too, whether it's dots or tacos
or Chinese foods or whatever like it. I'd be pissed
tot was shut down, doesn't matter who it is.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, I mean, if the streets shutdown, that is obnoxious.
I I don't know, so they didn't have the permit.
What's any update to this. I noticed you published that
a few days ago. What's happened since then?

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
We reached out to the HOA as well as the
buildings UH because it's a new it's a new UH
this new building area, it's a new subdivision. We reached
out to the one of the builders there too, and
they all have The HOA refused to respond to us,
so we reached out to five members of the ha
via phone and email antext message. None of them responded,
and the uh, the builders of that neighborhood said that

(21:34):
they thought that the festival was great. They loved it,
So go figure.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Current Revolt dot com. People could subscribe to the sub stack.
Of course, you don't have to pay for it, but
there is premium content if you do right.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
That's absolutely true, and you support independent journalism by giving
us a little bit of your hardened income of seven
bucks a month. It does, It goes a long way, believe.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
It or Current Revolt dot com. I'm a subscriber. You
should be too. If you're a Texas vote. It's worth
it to get educated.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
You've got Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty.

Speaker 11 (22:10):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
This is exciting, very exciting for all of my millennial
Catholics out there, of which I have one. The Pope
has canonized the Catholic Church's first millennial saint.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
He will be the patron Saint of selfies.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I'm kidding. That's not what happened. Hi, everybody, welcome back
from break. I'm, like a lot of you, very upset
about what happened last week, very very upset. I will
tell you I haven't slept well in over a week.
I've been having weird dreams. This weekend, I'm speaking at
the Texas Youth Summit. I hope you guys can be there.
One person who will not be there's Charlie Kirk. He's
joined us in years past. He will not be speaking

(22:46):
this year. I'm sure you could imagine why, of course.
I mean, look, I don't mean to be hyperbolic. He
wasn't on the original lineup, but he's appeared many times
at the event. We're never going to have him there again.
They took that from us. So if you join us
this weekend in the Woodlands at the Texas Youth Summit
Texas Youth Summit dot com, we will definitely be talking
about this, and I hope you guys will be there.

(23:10):
Breitbart dot Com just published a list of all the
times over the last decade that the liberal media of
the regime media has actually defended, even celebrated, and encouraged
violence against US. Between September twenty fifteen and November twenty eighteen,
Trump supporters faced six hundred and thirty nine documented acts
of violence and harassment. I'm not even talking about stuff

(23:33):
since then. I'm just talking about that early part of
the Trump administration first term. That's roughly two hundred and
fifteen acts a year, eighteen per month, four point five
per week. And those were just the acts we knew,
of the ones we could credibly document. Looking back on
that list seven years later, the breadth and scope are
hard to comprehend. Some of these specifics I didn't even remember.

(23:58):
Most of the awfulness was committed by left wing activists,
the terrorists in Antifa. But here's a Democrat US senator
saying he wanted to beat the living cramp out of
his GOP opponent. Remember who that was, Joe Manchin, Remember
that story. He said he wanted to beat the cramp
out of a Republican and he was considered one of

(24:19):
the moderates. There is also a Democrat Vice president speaking
of a Republican candidate, saying, I'd like to give him
a high threshold of pain. Eventually that guy became the
President of the United States.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Amazingly. Well, Vice President Biden, everybody's got this race over.
What's your thoughts.

Speaker 9 (24:38):
I don't think it's over. I don't think it's over
at all. You know, my state which you probably wouldn't know.
Delaware single big the single biggest industry is atgricultured almost
five billion dollars in our peninsula. And the idea this
guy she's running against says that he thinks that you know,
they got that. Performers have to suck it up because

(25:01):
the impact on soybeans and the impact of the trade
wars that they have to you know, they're engaging in hysteria.
They don't have a very high threshold of pain. I'd
like to give him a high threshold of pain.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Whoa man eventually became president. There's dozens of other examples.
October twenty fifth, twenty eighteen, The New York Times ran
a story fantasizing about Trump's assassination. September twenty fifth, twenty eighteen,
CNN defended people who harassing Ted Cruz. August fourteenth, twenty eighteen,

(25:37):
CNN's Chris Cuomo justified and encouraged violence against Trump supporters.
July twenty third, twenty eighteen, the Denver Post ran a
letter to the editor suggesting Trump should be executed. They
published that in their newspaper, Guys, The list goes on
and on and on. In this list, I'm looking at
is just from the early years of Trump's first term.

(25:58):
In late twenty eighteen, they ended the point had been
made the work.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
For all the.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Effort they put into this, it was labor intensive, especially
for someone that writes a news blog for a living.
It was obvious no amount of documentation would change anyone's behavior,
not in the corporate media, not among Democrat leaders, and
certainly not among the well funded left wing terrorist groups
like Antifa and Black Lives Matter. At the hands of

(26:30):
CNN or The New York Times or any similar news outlet,
open season had been openly declared on you and I
Trump supporter. Now Here we sit. A president got shot
in the face. Hell that someone made an attempt on
his life. A short time after that, that guy's now

(26:50):
on trial. Thirty one year old Charlie Kirk martyred in
front of the world in a public execution meant to
terrorize all of us. Here we sit with thousands of
mainstream Democrats, and they're all openly celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Here we are. Here we sit.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
The same regime media that unified to destroy an innocent
rodeo clown for lampooning Obama, not only ignoring all the teachers, lawyers,
healthcare professionals, and other credential Democrats celebrating a murder rushing
to their defense. Here we sit still being hunted. Is
the open season declared on us by corporate media, elected democrats,

(27:31):
academia and Hollywood enters its second decade. They're not murdering
us because we're Nazis. They call us Nazis so they
can murder us. Kenny Webster the best looking dude on radio, and.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
If you've seen the competition, that's not saying a whole
hell of a lot.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
All right.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
A Humpty Dumpty statue was stolen from a New Jersey
golf course. Now in defense of the thieves, they saved
it from a great fall. I thought that was nice.
Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks so much for joining us.
Shows not over yet, we still got a little more
to go. In fact, I think this the last segment
they showed me A great time for some local news.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
If you're local, then.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
That means you probably live somewhere in the state of Texas,
and you may have heard of Doug Deeson before Doug
Deson or Justin Keener. Both of these men apparently have
quite a bit of money that they have invested in
conservative and Republican causes, and now they are launching a
new public safety advocacy group. Here to give us a story,
my good friend Holly Hanson of the Texan Dot News,

(28:30):
who thinks she could just fly off to California and
still cover Texas news even while she's on vacation.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Willy nilly, imagine that.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
I guess you just think you can do whatever you want, Holly, Well,
I guess so.

Speaker 10 (28:44):
You know, I mean, I can work from the mountains that.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Work as a Texan. Don't you feel like California is
wasted on Californians?

Speaker 10 (28:55):
No, it's beautiful out here into some great hikings.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
But that's that's what I mean. That's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Though California is beautiful, and yet it's a state that's
filled with the socialist parasites. Don't you think we should
invade California and liberate the place?

Speaker 10 (29:10):
Well, you may have some takers out here, It just
depends on what part of the state do you travel
about in.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
All right, fairpoint, Okay, what's all this about? A new
public safety advocacy group and Republican mega donors are funding.

Speaker 10 (29:23):
It right well, you know, one GOP mega donor, Doug
Deeson's pretty well known in the state of Texas, has
launched this group with Justin Keener, And what they're looking
at is this five oh one c four where they
are going to be promoting legislation and also supporting candidates.

(29:44):
And they've been planning this for a while, it seems
that's been in the works, but the timing is interesting
considering all the news we've had in the past week,
what with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and some of
the other troubling criminal justice story that we've seen here
in the news. And we are looking at here in

(30:04):
the Houston area possibly an end to a federal consent
to cree that has governed misdemeanor bail in the county.
Kennedy Attorney General Ken Paxson has filed to be an
intervener in this federal lawsuits has been kind of hanging
over the Houston area for goodness almost ten years now,

(30:25):
and it largely dictates the way the bail policy is
handled in this area. And sometimes that's okay when you're
talking about low level nonviolent misdemeanors, but the implications have
had some pretty dire consequences for the Houston area. And

(30:46):
before the Charlie Kirk assassination, we saw all the news
about the young woman who was murdered out there in
North Carolina. We had a very similar situation in the
Houston area just a few years ago, where there was
an individual who had been arrested sixty seven times and
was out on two PR bonds when he stabbed to

(31:08):
death an elderly woman in broad daylight in Walgreen's parking
lot in Houston. So I think there's a lot of
bipartisan concern about the way some of these criminal defendants
are being handled, and so the launch of this new
group is pretty timely and I expect that they're going
to get a lot of attention.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Okay, so where do we stand now on bail reform
in the state. I mean, I thought they had a
bill that was supposed to there's a very popular bill
they said, look, if you're a repeat of vendor, if
you are somebody that's committed enough serious crimes, you're just
not going to get light or no bail anymore.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Did that policy never pass?

Speaker 10 (31:47):
Well, we all sort of. So we did approve a
constitutional amendment during the Texas legislative session, and this will
go on the ballot November, so voters will have a
chance to weigh in. And what it does is is
it would give judges the discretion to deny bail to
certain repeat violent offenders. Another bill that would have mandated

(32:11):
detaining some of those repeat violent offenders without bail at
all failed in the Texas House by just three votes,
so it came very close. So there's still some room
there where some of the folks who are concerned about
public safety would like to see a little more movement.
But Texas has done a pretty good job of trying

(32:33):
to close these loopholes and trying to rain this in.
And I think this new group is looking at bringing
that approach nationwide. So there are other states where there's
room a little bit more room for movement there, and
I think that you're going to see a lot of
other states trying to do what Texas has been working
on for the past few years.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
All right, let's talk about this some news stemming back
to the twenty twenty two election lawsuit there about over
that election. A Harris County District judge has resigned, and
now there moves to dismiss appeals from the Republicans twenty
twenty two election contest lawsuit. We earned about this in
a while. What's going on there?

Speaker 10 (33:15):
Yes, you know, this has been a little bit frustrating
for some of the candidates who were running in that
twenty twenty two election. And just to remind listeners, we
had quite a mess in twenty twenty two. So we
ran paper ballots at the polling sites, and we had
some conflicting court orders where one judge said the court

(33:36):
the polls had to stay open an extra hour. The
Texas Supreme Court came in later and said, no, that's
not vallid. So there were some ballots cast during that
extra hour that weren't actually valid. And we had a
number of candidates file election lawsuits or contests, and one
of those has just been sort of lingering out there

(33:57):
for years now, so we're going on three years. Although
a judge did rule that the outcome of that election
could not be known, and this was for one of
our Felony District Court judges who sets bail for some
of our most violent repeat offenders, and he has been
contesting the ruling from the judge. We were supposed to

(34:18):
have a do over election last May that got delayed
because of the appeals, and this judge, who has been
sitting on this bench for the last three years, resigned.
His resignation is effective the first of October, and so
now that seat will be vacant and the governor will

(34:38):
be appointing replacement. The Republican who had sued in the
election contest is one of the possible candidates the governor
could appoint. But when talking to the attorneys involved here,
there was a lot of frustration that this took so
much time to litigate and honestly is still not resolved

(35:00):
in the courts. The only reason it's being resolved right
now is because the incumbent judge has resigned.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Wow, how about that?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
And I'm still going to guess probably nothing actually comes
of this, but you know, it's nice to hope. It's
hard to imagine we'd go back that far now and
change the results of an election.

Speaker 10 (35:20):
Well, you know, I mean, the court said that we
needed to do that. Now, what I think will probably
happen in our next legislative session is you're going to
have some lawmakers looking at why it might take so
long to litigate these things. And for example, in this case,
you had an appeal go to our first Court of
Appeals and the judges had an ordal hearing in the

(35:43):
case last January and still have not issued a decision.
So there is some concern about whether or not the
appeals courts have any kind of deadlines and what kind
of time frame they operate on, not just in this case,
but any number of other cases that are pending on appeal.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
All right, let's talk about this.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
So last week on Wednesday, the only thing most people
were talking about was Charlie Kirk, but we had a
little news in our own backyard. The Harris County commissioners
agreed to a tax increase. I don't think most people
even knew this happened.

Speaker 10 (36:19):
Yeah, it's still a little bit tentitive that they are
holding hearing this week on the eighteenth. We just had
a pretty significant tax increase last year for a property
owners in the Houston area, but they'd like to get
a little bit more for the hospital district. And we
did see commissioners refused to support a county judge, Alina Hidalgo,

(36:43):
who was looking for another tax increase to cover the
cost of a pilot daycare program that was launched with
a federal COVID relief dollars. They shot that down, but
they are moving forward with a possible small tax increase
to support at the hospital district. There is a public
hearing on Thursday of this week and we'll have our

(37:06):
commissioners taking a look at the budget and tax rates
for the next year.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Correctly her own, but hasn't She complained not long ago
that she doesn't own a home here because it's too
expensive to own a house here, and yet now she's
trying to raise taxes. I mean, was that the same person?

Speaker 10 (37:25):
Yes, that was really interesting. She said that in a
recent interview that she can't afford to own a home
in the area. She's the chief executive of the Houston
Harris County excuse me, the Harris County area, and that
was a sort of a strange admission. While she is
requesting additional tax increases, but a lot of the tax

(37:45):
increases that she is looking for are ones they would support,
you know, a lot of low income families with things
like childcare and other services. And it's been pretty controversial
actually since last year's tax increase resulted in as much
as an eighteen percent tax hike for some property owners.

(38:09):
So we do hear from a lot of residents who
are feeling the burden of the taxes in this area.
It's making it a lot less affordable to live here.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
All right.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Some people have speculated the real reason she doesn't want
to own a house here is because she doesn't want
to live here. She has ambitions of moving to Washington, DC.
And what would be the point of owning a house
somewhere if you don't like it there? Of course, I
assume you don't know the answer to that, But a
lot of people have made that point, haven't they. Yeah,
you know.

Speaker 10 (38:39):
The rumor is that she's looking at running for a
congressional seat. We don't know what will happen with that.
She has not announced whether or not she's running for
a county judge next year. Even most recently she gave
a state of the county address, and even there, when asked,
said she wasn't ready to that yet. So the speculation

(39:02):
is that she's looking at one of those congressional seats
and would like to represent a Houston area district in
Washington d C.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
Okay, see what happens.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Again purely speculation, but it feels like if you have
advocated for multiple tax increases while admitting out loud that
it's too expensive to live here, it seems pretty unlikely
that you would get re elected. So what would be
the point of even running again.

Speaker 10 (39:30):
Well, she still pulls very strongly with Democratic Party voters.
There was a poll done by the University of Houston
last summer that indicated in a matchup with some of
the other Democrat candidates who've already announced, she's still leading
those candidates. So in theory, if the election were held today,

(39:53):
she could win a Democratic primary. And as we know,
Harris County is a purple county, it could go either
direct at this point, but depending on what happens in
midterm elections. Yeah, she does have a shot at being
re elected. I don't think it's out as the realm
of possibility.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Do you feel like it's still fair to call it
a purple county? I mean, we have one Republican county commissioner.

Speaker 10 (40:15):
Right, Well, yes, but remember in the last election cycle,
we did see the county vote for a slew of
Republican judges over that public safety issue because they were concerned. Yeah,
so I think there is an opening there because in

(40:35):
the polling numbers, we do see members of both sides
of the political aisle and your independent voters increasingly expressing
concerns about crime and public safety. They do see that
as a priority. Sometimes that doesn't always translate into the elections,
but it certainly showed up in those judicial races last

(40:59):
year where we saw nine Republicans win judicial benches in
Harris County.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Boy, I got to tell you, Holly, you are pretty
good at analyzing political news in Southeast Texas. Have you
ever thought of making a career out of it?

Speaker 10 (41:12):
You know, it's crossed my mind just sailing then, but
I like hiking.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
You are the best, Holly Hanson.
