Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. The A Suit
of Happiness us on your radio toel just as cheeseburgers
a liberty rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Two, not one, but two flying cars just collided during
a demonstration in China.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I have a question about that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
When airbags deploy in the air, are they just called bags?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't know. I do know. Tony Ortiz is stopping
by today.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
He is the creator of Current Revolt dot com, a
very controversial news outlet that is hated by a lot
of elected officials in the state of Texas because of
the scandalous reporting that they do. He'll be stopping by
shortly before we get to any of that. Can we
talk about why people hate websites like Current revolt dot com.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's because Current Revolt dot.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Com is on the Internet publishing news story that make
politicians look bad. There are a lot of things on
social media that don't make politicians look good, and it's
probably part of the reason why they hate it so much.
I know I'm sounding a little sophomoric here in my
explanation of this, but it's valid Peter Hack recently reported
on what the Democrat Senator of Hawaii said. That's Brian
(01:18):
Schatz and his advice to Americans after the assassination of
Charlie Kirk. It was very straightforward. He said, pull yourself together,
read a book, get some exercise. He made this point,
he said, what the f difference does it make if
the murderer was left or right? That's what he was
saying the sentiment, by the way. Bipartisan Utah Governor Spencer
(01:40):
Cox went further, warning that cancer probably isn't a strong
enough word for what social media is and what it
does what it does to us. Senator Mark Kelly also
lamented it's corrosive effects. Can I first point out here
that these guys are not wrong, but I would contend
(02:00):
that the people most in need of that advice are
not ordinary people like you and I. No, not the case.
The people that need to hear that the most are
actually politicians. The truth is that the outsized role social
media plays in our national life has not been thrust
upon politicians by an unruly mob of online partisans.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Not the case.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It is actually the political class itself that has adopted, exploited,
and amplified this distortion, governing not with the sober minded
seriousness that the office requires, but with the theatricality demanded
by the algorithm. If social media is the cancer, it
is not simply afflicting our leaders. They have become its
(02:44):
primary spreaders. Consider how much of our political discourse is
now defined by viral clips rather than substantive arguments. Congressional hearings,
which once were meant to establish facts, explore completing ideas,
or old institutions accountable, now function as stages for prescripted
(03:06):
soundbites engineered for maximum shareability. And there's so many examples
of this. Corey Book's infamous I Am Spartacus speech. Matt
Gates devoted more energy to online feuds with colleagues than
crafting legislation, and I like Matt Gates, Elizabeth Warren distills
complex policy into gifts designed for retweets, wrote Rosa Delaro
(03:28):
creates absurd TikTok videos using gen z slang in a
futile effort to be hip, even though she's an old lady,
and who could forget AOC. Alexandria Casio Cortes curating Instagram
lives that feel more like campaiyment infomercials than windows into governing.
The cumulative effect all of this has been and continues
(03:50):
to be devastating. What was once at least a pretense
of legislating for the good of the nation has collapsed
into a race for attention, with politicians mistaking engagement metrics
for legislative effectiveness. The boundary between campaigning and governing has
dissolved entirely, leaving us with elected officials who appear more
(04:13):
concerned with trending on Twitter than with slapping and enduring law.
This is why so many Americans mistakenly think social media
is politics. It's probably because politicians treat it that way.
Every hot take, every dunk, every gotcha line is designed
not for debate on the Senate floor, but for consumption online.
(04:36):
And then these same politicians step back, wag their fingers
at voters and declare that social media is poisoning democracy.
Spare me your lectures. Yeah, social media has warped our culture.
Sure it's contributed to polarization and even violence. But citizens
aren't the only ones guilty of overindulging in the dopamine drip.
(05:00):
The people who have the most power to shape the
direction of this country are themselves social media addicts, posting
for clout while pretending to govern. If politicians were serious
about curbing the destructive influence of social media, they might
not be wagging their fingers at voters, but maybe disciplining
themselves to stop governing through hashtags, stop performing for the cameras,
(05:23):
maybe stop measuring success and clicks rather than compromises. Imagine,
just for a moment, what our political culture might look
like if senators conducted hearings with the genuine intent to
uncover truth rather than generate viral moments. If debates were
oriented toward persuasion rather than owning their opponents, If legislation
(05:45):
were written with an eye toward the common good rather
than toward boosting ones online following. But that would require
politicians to recover from old wisdom, the wisdom that governing
is not, and never was meant to be performance art.
The more they treat it as such, the more they
inflate the very distortion they now decry, granting social media
(06:06):
and outsized influence over American life that it never would
have attained on its own. So, by all means, take
the Senator's advice, read a book, get some exercise, but
start with those who need it most, the men and
women in office who seem to have forgotten that their
job is not to entertain the Internet, but to serve
(06:27):
the republic.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
James King Let's this is Kenny Webster's furs Suit of
Happiness on KPRC nine fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
One in eight Americans think they can get away with
a serious crime. That number would have been higher, but
the survey was conducted after Ohjay died. Everybody, welcome back,
Tony Ortiz stopping by very soon before we get anywhere.
I was looking at a report at Breitbart Calm today,
one of my favorite news sites, and they were talking
about how John Stewart and Stephen have now weighed in
(07:01):
on the Jimmy Kimmel suspension. And you're not gonna believe this,
but John Stuart and Stephen Colbert have made Jimmy Kimmel's
suspension all about John Stuart and Stephen Colbert. If you
were looking for an oasis away from the left's bidder
and divisive politicizing of Charlie Kirk's brutal murder, former comedians
John Stuart and Stephen Colbert were not the place to go.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Not even a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Both once again abused their late night purchase to make
the long overdue suspension of Jimmy Kimmel all about them.
John Stewart was so eager to make it all about
John Stuart he rushed into the studio on Thursday, even
though he normally only quote unquote works on Monday. Listen
to this report Where's this from NBC News reports. John
(07:47):
Stuart returned to the Daily Show with a government approved
program and referred to President Donald Trump as quote our
great father and dear leader. He joked about Trump's recent
visit to the United Kingdom and played a clip of
a reporter's question about Kimmel and whether free speech was
under attack in America. How dare you, sir? Stuart bellowed,
(08:07):
what outfit are you with, sir? The Antifa Herald Tribune.
When the audience booed or express dismay, John Stuart in
a panic trying to shush them. A group of correspondents
delivered a message in unison and showered the president with
over the top praise as though they lived in a dictatorship. Naturally,
(08:28):
these soon to be podcasters Stephen Colbert did the same thing.
Here's a report from USA Today. Quote tonight, we are
all Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert said as the start of his monologue,
before getting mad about the suspension and calling it Blaytant's censorship.
With an autocrat, you cannot give an in, she continued.
(08:48):
If ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime,
they are woefully naive and clearly they've never read the
children's book. If you give a mouse a Kimmel, and
to Jimmy, just let me say I stand with you
and your staff one hundred percent end quote.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Both of these dudes are lying this claim that the
FCC had something to do with Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. It
was the affiliates who owned the local stations that pressured
the leftists at ABC and Disney to suspend Kimmel's basement
rated show. That's it, That's all it was. ABC and
Disney have one, but not four, online streaming services. I
made this point in the morning, so i'll quickly make
(09:27):
it now. Hulu owned by Disney, and ABC Disney Plus
owned by Disney and ABC, Abcnews dot Com, ABC dot Com.
These are all places where you could stream ABC's content.
None of them are regulated by the FCC. If the
FCC chairman is preventing Jimmy Kimmel from getting on terrestrial broadcasting,
(09:48):
what's preventing Disney from putting this show somewhere else?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
This argument about the FCC would have made a lot
more sense fifteen or twenty years ago. But ever since
the advent of Netflix and so many other platforms, lou
being one of them, the FCC doesn't really play that
big of a role anymore in deciding what you get
to watch on a TV screen other than terrestrial broadcasting,
meaning like old school antennas.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
That's what that means. The FCC has nothing to do
with it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
When Kimmel said that Charlie Kirk's a Q Sassin was MAGA,
that was a clear violation of public interest the public
interest cause, and that comes with the privilege of using
the public airwaves, the privilege ABC and its affiliates get
for free. But that doesn't mean that's the only place
where ABC could have put the show, So why didn't
they put it somewhere else? Jimmy Kimmel deliberately spread disinformation,
(10:41):
and that's something he's been doing for all ten years
of the Trump era, and it is only now caught
up with him. ABC and Disney, the same company, violated
the public interest by giving two hours of unanswered airtime
every day to the View and.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Jimmy Kimmel, both of whom mislead.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
All the country and spread conspiracy theories against the political right.
At the very least, if Stephen Colbert and John Stewart
had admitted that what Jimmy Kimmel said about Maga murdering
Charlie Kirk was a lie, that would be something. But
these guys are garbage. We cannot unify with garbage. Sorry,
(11:25):
not sorry, It's kind of interesting too. Democrats want unity.
John Nolty made this point. Apparently Republicans and Democrats finally
agree on something. There's finally something we can unify around
(11:46):
boycotting Disney. Now we've been saying on the right for
a long time. It's not that I support cancel culture.
I just don't support things I don't like. I don't
like Disney. I don't like ABC. I don't watch it.
I'm not into it. I'm not a customer. I'm not
a consumer of their content. I don't like what they
did with the Marvel movies. I don't like what they
did to Star Wars, so I just don't support it.
(12:08):
And conservatives have felt that way for a while.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Obviously, conservatives were very upset when Rose Ambarr got fired
by Disney ABC for the crime of writing a tweet
about Valerie Jared Gina Carano was fired from Star Wars
for the crime of being a right wing conservative. We've
seen this for a while. Now we're seeing something else happen.
(12:34):
Instead of just for Maga, instead of just Republicans. Now
the leftists are asking people to go out and boycott
Disney and ABC and ESPN and Hulu. It's all the
same company. Let us lock arms, God bless America.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The interiet today is filled with leftists saying they're going
to cancel their Disney streaming service. Good more please. The
dismantling of Disney is one hundred percent Mega endorsed. What
we have here is check made Donald Trump made liberals
boycott Disney. He made them demand the release of the
Epstein files. He even made them demand to lower taxes,
(13:13):
because after all, that's what a teriff is. So Democrats
have cornered themselves and the only out they see right
now is to harm and even destroy one of the
most left wing corporations in America. When ABC and Disney
canceled Gina Carano or Rose Ambar or Tim Allen, these
same people said nothing. They loved cancel culture then, and
(13:35):
all three of those people were part of very successful programs.
Jimmy Kimmel is not only an overpaid ratings disaster, unlike
the other three, he is not simply guilty guilty of
telling a tasteless joke or expressing an opinion. He deliberately
used the publicly owned airwaves to spread disinformation, disinformation that
Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was a Trump supporter. Kimmel committed
(13:58):
an ethical breach of conduct. So now the left wing blacklusters,
they're cornered. The reaping phase has begun, and all they
can do is target one of their own Disney and
ABC for annihilation as they move over to our side
of the aisle raging against cancel Culture.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Isn't it lovely? It's glorious.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The very same people that were accusing us of participating
in cancel culture at the beginning of the week because
we were getting teachers fired for celebrating a school shooting.
Are now demanding that people boycott ABC and Disney, and
you'll love to see it. We got them right where
we want them. These maniacs murdered a good person, and
(14:43):
then they celebrated that murder. Everything changed forever for Republicans
and for America in general on September tenth. The conservatives,
the right wingers, the MAGA movement now knows who wants
us dead. And we must remain peace full and lawful
and relentless and merciless and destroying them, all of them,
(15:04):
the legal way. Tony Ortiz from Current Revolt dot Com
will be here right after.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
This Happiness Radio.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So Mark Zuckerberg's AI glasses glitched during his big demonstration yesterday.
Apparently he was nervous and awkward and uncomfortable, and then
the glasses glitched. Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for
turning on the radio. If you're watching us streaming on
the internet right now, I don't need to explain it to you. You
already know where you are and who's we well. I'm
(15:42):
here obviously whenever I have a studio in studio Guest,
I always like to turn the cameras on and let
people see what's going on here in studio.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
See.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I don't know why it's called Studio Cee Tony Ortiz.
It's the first studio when you walk into the building.
Do you notice that it's the cool studio. I don't
know this is I don't know why. iHeart Media says
this is Studio C. Studio A comes next, then Studio B.
What do you think they're telling me?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
I don't know, man, it seems almost like a ranking.
Maybe I don't know, Tony. You know what I like
about you is you're willing.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're willing to have uncomfortable conversations, and a lot of
people in our our our industry are not. You're for
those who don't know who Tony Ortiz is. I'm a
big fan of Current Revolt dot com. You guys will
write stories nobody else will write, and then you put
them on the internet and they go hugely viral, and
people are like, who's this Tony Ortiz?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Guy? Who's funding him? Who is this guy? You're just
some guy. I'm just a normal innocent guy. You're like,
You're like the comfortably smug of Texas. That guy's kind
of weird. I hope you don't want to be that guy.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
But you've been on some of the biggest podcast Tim
Poole's show.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You've been obviously this one. It doesn't get any bigger
than this. It's true. I came all the way from
Dallas to be here. Well, you're actually here for the
You're here for the Texas Youth Summit, right, And I
am Christian Collins, a youth summit, and you're a You're
obviously you're conservative. I am, You're very conservative. I am.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I am pretty much on the farther's right of the spectrum,
not the farthest right, but pretty far.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You're not like neo nazi, right, but like you're a
pill No, I'm not a I'm not neo nazi, fiscal conservative,
paleo conservative. Would you say you're more conservative than the
current Republican mainstream party, right?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah? Probably.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I think that the party is doing a good job
of going towards that direction.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
But yeah, probably, I tend to agree with that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You will write stories about people on your side, right
that are that are a career ending.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah, oftentimes.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
And then the fact is like, we're in the state
of Texas, right, and so if you don't like the
way things are done in Texas, generally, it's a.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Republican's fault, right.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Okay, well that's fair because you're mostly doing Texas politics.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Right, we only do Texas politics.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, I'm honestly, I am a big fan of most
of the people speaking at the Texas Youth Summit this weekend.
And even though I'm not really a fan of I
wouldn't say like I'm their enemy or I've been very
critical of Governor Abbott. You know, I think I think
I'm more conservative than him. But during this time that
we're living in right now, I don't think he's the
worst governor. I'm not going to go so far as
to endorse him or praise him. I've always called him
(18:11):
governor good enough. He's speaking there this weekend. I will
tell you this, somebody that's speaking there this weekend that
my white conservative friends love Maya Flores.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
See.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I'm a big fan of Mayra Flores. Some of my
biggest stories are because of Missus Flores.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
But you told me something about her I did not know.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I like her.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I think she's a good person, but you told me
something I did not know about her.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
I'm sure she's a great person. I'm sure she's a
phenomenal person. She also has really great taste in food
and collecting food pictures from other people.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
About an hour ago, we were wrapping up the morning
show and my co host Steve Johnson Radio Broadcast Legend,
left this room and he said to me, Hey, if
you see Mayra Flores this weekend, let me say hi
to her for me. Steve, a white, pale faced gringo
from Texas, love my Reflorenes.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's a big fan of her.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And you told me something about Hispanic conservatives in Texas
that I'd never heard before.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
I have there's a lot of usman, which what was
that that they don't like my reformance? Oh yeah, well
that's kind of a thing, right, So, like, I've talked
to a lot of a lot of the Hispanics down
in her district, the one she's choosing to run to
at this time, and a good chunk of them are
not a big fan of hers. In fact, the recent
pollings she published kind of shows that it shows that
(19:30):
I think it was something like fifty percent are undecided,
and she's run four times. This is her fourth time running,
third time lose. Well, she's lost several times before, but
this is her fourth time running. And yeah, she put
out a poll and people are still undecided about her,
which is really odd.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
So what is it that Hispanic voters don't? I mean,
policy wise, she's on the right side of most positions
that conservatives seem to support. She has a vowel at
the end of her name. I mean, isn't this the
stuff she's checking off? A lot of things here that
you do well in a Texas election a conservative Hispanic
but not her for some reason.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah, I think the community's pretty tight knit down there,
and they've got, you know, maybe personal beef with her.
I think some of it's that, you know, a lot
of people aren't. I think a lot like it sounds
so petty, But that story about her that we wrote
up about her basically stealing food pictures and passing them
off as her own, okay, it shows like it shows
like she's like disingenuine, right, like not really authentic.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Right, that's a thing that she really did.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
She takes photos of food that she didn't actually cook,
and then she posted on social media.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
People were calling it grubgate.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah, she was taking like years old photos from different
parts of the country, not even Hispanic or Latin American countries,
and saying that she had cooked them and that they
were her own, and did this repeatedly for a very
very long time. And it was such a it was
such an ordeal that she ended up changing her Twitter
(20:58):
name because she was getting harassed so much online.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
It's pretty funny. What pretty funny she changed her handle
on Twitter handle. I didn't know that it was something.
I don't know what it was before. Yeah, it's the
article in the bottom right of the screen where it
is this drubgate. Hang on, let me show everybody what
we're looking at here, grub gate right there there it is. Yeah, yeah,
all right, So here's maya. There are two things Texans
know as a fact. Politicians lie about really stupid stuff.
(21:24):
Mexican food is tasty. Now RFK Junior says that Mexican
food is BS. It's all basically the same thing.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Yeah, we've talked about this, and I agree with RFK Junior.
It was an AI video, but I agree with Ai
RFK Junior. Just tacos, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
The ranch life with the family is the best but
she didn't actually take this photo.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
No.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yeah, if you keep scrolling down, we actually post where
it came from.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's from visit Guyana. Oh my god. And look at
the date twenty two.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
How about that? And what are these?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Are these tortillas or it's a taco it's all yeah,
it's all tacos, meat, vegetable to.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I think Jim Gaffigan did a bit of a hard
shell soft shell. I do love it. They're they're good.
Not my favorite foods.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The biggest difference between text mex and Mexican would be
but flower do.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
You have that?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
And like text Mix is generally more spicy. I think
they more focused on like the spiciness of the food.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Maybe my problem with Dallas has always been the food.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Cause it's like Dallas is like a nicer version of
Houston with worse food.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Would you agree with that.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
It's like it's classier and cleaner, But then when you
go out and you check out the food scene, it's
not you guys have nothing on Houston.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I mean it's not even close. Yeah, the women are
cuter in Houston, I think too.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I Okay, this is anecdotal. I'm certainly gonna get on
followed for this.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
But during my.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Brief during my brief time on a dating app, I
felt like the women were cuter in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well, they're larger. If that's your thing.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I think we're confusing Dallas for San Antonio and baby, Oh,
it's in Uro some torta.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
In Dallas, it's torta. Can you explain that tort what's
a torto?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
This is a derogatory term for a large Hispanic female.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
And it's actually but is it deroga?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Because my Latino friends, my Hispanic buddies want to go
out drinking on the weekend. Yeah, tort hunting, and I'm
gonna do the voice. Can I have your permission?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You always have.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
It's like he's like, Kenny, Bro, We're going out this
weekend to get some tortas, Bro, And I'm like, we're
going eating. They're like, no, Kenny, We're gonna get some
chunky Hispanic girls. And they love them, dude. They're very passionate.
But to them it's not an insult.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
They love it. Yeah, not my thing, not here my thing?
You are? Can I out you on the air? Yeah?
Please do.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
I'm very public about this. You're you have an Asian thing.
If I'm not missaying, I'm of the Asian persuasion.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Yeah, my wife is Japanese, Is that right?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I lost dated Asian girls.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
And you've been to Japan. I actually am going back
here very very soon.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
All right. Yeah, So riddle me this, because Japan is
the one country in the West with maybe South Korea
as an exception here, very similar values as US and
then the rest of the Far East over there.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
What did I say the west?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Japan is one country in the Far East with very
similar values to Western countries.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, like conservative social values for sure. Why is that?
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I think that they're just like a very like racially
homogeneous country and they're very strict on standards and they
don't they're not ones for like you go down there
and like every guy's wearing the same color suit. It's
very conservative for the most part. I don't know what
it is, but like, yeah, when I met my wife,
she's not even political, but we just meshed naturally because
(24:21):
her family and her were just naturally conservative.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Jean has something to do with the fact that they're
on an island, so they're all nationalists. They don't want
strangers coming in is that part of it.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
That could be it, And that's kind of what's kept
them so safe. People will not like to hear that,
but that's one of the things that's kept Japan really safe,
is the fact that they're like on an island, and
that Japan is generally for Japanese. I mean, you can
even you know, become a citizen in Japan, and you
can be born in Japan. But if you're not ethnically Japanese,
they don't ever accept you as a Japanese.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
All right, explain this to me. This sound ef fact.
I'm gonna ute the mic so you can hear it.
Why does that defend I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Every time that sound plays in my head, every time
my wife walks through this, So I don't know why
that offense anything.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Very quick break more with Tony Ortiz from Current revol
right after this.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
If you miss any part of Pursuit of Happiness radio,
you may do irreversible damage to the course of your
entire existence, or you might not.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh hey, everybody, real quick quick break Hang on one second,
all right, Happy birthday today to Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon
turns fifty one to day. He will celebrate by having
a job. He has a job, and other, as you know,
other late night show hosts do not have a job.
Tony Ortiz of Current Revolt dot Com jobs, Yeah, we work,
you know. Yeah, I don't get paid the kind of
(25:43):
Jimmy Fallon excuse me, Jimmy Kimmel was making eighty.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Five thousand dollars in episode. Do you think there's only
one hundred and twenty thousand people were tuning in? Isn't
that crazy? That's insane. It totally just propped up propaganda machine.
Our our morning radio show.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
To put that into perspective, reach is a seven digit
number every week, and it's me and Steve Johnson and
as you know, and the characters or I won't go
to the details on the air if you know, you know,
but you know, we're not making that kind of money.
Like I get paid a lot of money to do
my job. I really appreciate it. I'm very grateful, but
I'm not making eighty five thousand dollars an episode.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Could you imagine?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Yeah, and only one hundred and twenty thousand viewers, Like
I can I've had tweets that get more views and
I'm like a nobody.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Who's it for? Who is that show for?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
That show is for leftists that want to be self mentally,
I can't I don't know if I could say the
word on air, but they.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Just want to be They want to have their views
like regurgitated to them.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
You would be surprised at what you could say on
the air. We can't say the S word, the F word,
or the C word. We can't say the mental masturbation
for you could say that, yeah, yeah, we get away
with a lot because talk radio is such a big
deal in Houston that I heard in Texas. In general,
talk radio is huge in Texas. For those that don't know,
it's definitely not going anywhere where. iHeartMedia owns two talk
radio stations in Houston. One of them is KTRH, one
(27:04):
of the most important serious talk stations in the country,
massive signal reaches well beyond the scope of Texas itself,
one of the biggest news radio stations in the world.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
And the other station is us KVRC Radio.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
We really, we really do get away with some things here,
probably the morning shows. Me in the afternoon show is
Jesse Kelly. To give you an idea of what we
get away with around here. All right, let's talk about this.
This just broke. I mean I just learned about it.
They hate you, and they think normal American beliefs are fascist.
That's what we've heard over and over again. Case in point,
there's a group of adults on social media who infiltrated
(27:43):
group chat rooms and coordinated to destroy students for wanting
to start a Turning Point USA chapter in the Spring
Branch School district at Stafford High School in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
This is right down the street from here. You heard
about this a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
What's interesting is the Turney Paxson's already put out a
statement that he's investigating to see if any crimes were committed.
I actually got linked the story by our friend Tom Slocum,
a Houston Patriot. Yeah, and he had claimed that the
woman that wrote this post was a Democrat woman that
had voted in a Republican primary, and he gave me
her voter ID. I ran her voter ID on the
(28:20):
ride here, and yeah, confirmed, like, this is a woman
who is a hardcore Democrat, leftist, LGBTQ, et cetera, et cetera,
and she most recently voted in a Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Well, they always do.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
For those who don't live in Texas, they're probably confused
by this, But Democrats often we have open primaries here
we do, meaning you don't have to register for what
party you are, and then you can decide what primary
you want to vote in based.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
On who's on the ballot. Yeah, it goes both ways,
for sure. How do you feel about the open primaries?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
So statistically, it shows that Republicans crossover vote more than Democrats.
That's what statistics show. I'm not saying that's okay, that's
just what the numbers.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Are showing, which misilating.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
But the reason for that is, like, if you live
in Houston or Dallas or Austin or San Antonio or
any like other major leftist city and you are a Republican,
you have no choice. You aren't gonna get a Democrat,
so you crossover and you voted in a Democrat primary
to hopes that in the hopes that you get the
least most insane Democrat, right right, And so that does happen. Now.
(29:22):
Of course, in some races where you've had it very close,
like for example, the Daide Feeling race, the argument can
be with I think that race was what less than
five hundred that he won by uh huh. You had claims,
and you had a lot of Democrats even openly stating
that they voted in the Republican primary for daid feelings.
So this does happen, and it does affect races and
(29:43):
the parties looking at closing these down.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
People ask all the time, how'd you guys get John
Cornyn in Texas? How do you guys get Dan Crenshaw? Yeah,
how is it? You guys? Have you know Dade Failin
for example? I think this is the answer, right?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Possibly right? And I don't know, you know, I think
what was it?
Speaker 5 (29:58):
There was like Operation Kimera what it was called Operation
rush Limbaugh did this?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yeah, Rob rush Limbaugh.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Well, supposedly Wesley Hunt was a part of it. Years
and years ago they had rush Limbaugh encouraged Conservatives to
go out and vote in a Democrat primary.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And I could be wrong about that. I don't mean to.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Remember the name of it, but I don't know operations.
Something I forget. I think Wesley Hunt was part of
it because he was asked once. I could be wrong
about that why he would voted there. Maybe I'm miss
maybe I'm mistaking him with someone else, Well, did I
just do a racism on the are? Well he's he
is speaking at the event this weekend, and as is
Ken Paxton, as is Angela Paxton. Now a lot of
(30:38):
people think Wesley Aaron Wright's there, and we've got a
whole mays Middleton. Right, there's a lot of people at
this Texas Youth Summit this weekend who are unified, who
people believe are enemies with each other, that are unifying
together to not only honor Charlie Kirk but go out
and spread conservative values to young people.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I mean, what, what's your reaction to that?
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I don't know if Angela Paxton and are Senator Angela
Paxton and real Ken packs that are really unified, maybe
maybe it's going to be It might be a little awkward.
It might be a little awkward, but I love awkward moments.
Have you heard anything that we don't know?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
No, I just I mean, you know they're going through
a divorce, and a very public and a very heated divorce. Right,
She's claiming that he he had an affair, and of
course the Daily Mail put out an article uh saying
that they confirmed that affair and even posted pictures of
the woman and the packs and campaign put out a
statement and they didn't deny the affair, which is interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, so I don't think I don't think that conservative.
I don't think primary Republican voters care. I mean, look
at Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Not at all.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You know, I as you know, in my rag, we
report on affairs all the time, and the as somebody
who's reported on all the time. The very very first
question I always get asked when I mentioned that I'm
working on affair stories, what does she look like? Ah,
that's always the first question.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Well, when there's a teacher that has sex with a student,
what's the first thing on the right.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
And then a guy complaining that there was no hot
teachers when he was in.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
And then that, and then that classic joke the victim
is still recovering in the hospital after almost being high
five to death.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah it is a good line.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah it is, it is, And so yeah, people, yeah
it won't affect him if anything like it. It was
a hunter Biden faced the same thing. The dude was
just like laying pipe across the country and like people
thought he was cool. He was just doing drugs and
hooking up with chicks all over And I completely disavow
this behavior.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
But that's what he did, and nobody cared. All right, Right, So.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Everybody thinks Wesley Hunt's about to announce that he's running
for Senate because he's been you know, actors and texts,
Paul's and all those things.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, and we don't know if that's true or not.
I have no idea, but he might.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
One thing is for one, something that seems a little
more obvious to me is the thing with AOC. I'm
gonna throw this up on the screen here. Axios has
a story this week claiming AOC is about to run
for president. Now, if true, when this explain everything. The
minute Trump won, AOC and Bernie start going doing rallies
out in red states in the West, the fight the
(32:56):
Oligarchy tour. They're not doing that for nothing, Tony, Right,
She's they're going to challenge Chuck Schumer, an incumbent, for
his Senate seat, which wouldn't shock anybody because she did
get her current job from challenging an incumbent. And one
or she's going to run for president. What do you
think seems more likely?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
The pendulum dictates that a far leftist is going to
run for office.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah, that's just.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
How the pendulum of ideology and elections swing. Right, it's
going to swing back in the other direction. It doesn't happen.
But run, I mean she could run. She'll be someone's
running mate. Yeah, she'll be someone's running mate for sure.
I mean she's not old enough I think to be
at the top of the like the president. Right, but
she'll run. She might run his vice president who who knows?
You know, I don't really watch national stuff, but I
(33:37):
mean she's she's she's an idiot. I mean, I've heard
her speak. I don't find her intelligent by any means,
but she gets people going. She knows how to beat
the drum. She's very attractive for a politician.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I think. Right, you don't watch national stuff. Really, I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
I don't follow national politics at all. It just goes
in one ear and out the other.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
When I look at Current revolt dot com and I
like I look at I try to look at it
once a day, so it's always on the days when
I don't look at it that you have the craziest
news story that published you You the content's free, but
you do have content on the website that people have
to pay for.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
It right, we do pay wall.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Some stuff, right, especially because like you know, I do
this full time now and you know, gotta I gotta eat,
So yeah, I definitely do uh do pay wall some stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Can we for appreciate a happiness radio viewers? Can we
show them behind the wall from them? Because I subscribe
and you have a thing I love reading every week
called many people are saying, and many people are saying.
It is a great name for it because it tells
you what you're about to get. We do a segment
on the Walton and Johnson show called Died Suddenly. You know,
you know, you get what it is right without having
(34:43):
to explain it. Well, many people are saying, is your
way of explaining that these are rumors, but rumors are
often true.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Right, it's a Trump is them. Actually. Trump used to
always say, well, many people are saying, many people are saying,
and you would.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Do it to justify whatever it is he was doing.
And so yeah, we we got it from him. It's
a it's a Trump is But like today's article, we've
got this conservative judge in Tarren County, which for people
to know, is in like the Fort Worth area, who's
running as a conservative. You can see on the screen
here it says conservative your conservative choice for family judge.
But this woman and her husband have not only voted
(35:16):
Democrat prior, but they've also donated to Democrats and you know,
and campaigns. Well, you know, we posted a voting record
right there. I think the most recent Democrat vote was
back in Tuning twenty twenty, so five years ago.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
That was presidential A bad time to vote for Democrats.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Yeah, yeah, so voted in a twenty twenty Democrat primary, right,
And then several years ago or a handful years ago,
she campaigned for a Democrat judge against a Republican judge,
Alex Kim, who's a phenomenal judge, and then even donated
to Democrat judge.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
She gave what is this still on this fur hundred bucks?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Well it's not nothing, yeah, so it's a substantial amount
of money, you know. So now she's running as the
conservative choice, and I just I think that's a I
don't think it's been very conservative.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
No, it is a little hypocritical here. I love that
you published this though. I think it's such an interesting article.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
And here's photos of her with what Democrat judge, Yeah,
oh no, campaigning for him.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
That is a recredible photo.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, so it's like it's
it's black and white right there, and you know through it.
Her husband was arrested for a d w I just
last year, just in July last year, which which.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Normally wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But she is running as a judge, a conservative judge,
and it seems a little big here, a leftist judge.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Yeah, but you know, conservatives left to drink too.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Look, I'm no stranger to the backseat of a squad
car and me and my twenties I got into trouble
for all kinds of dumb styll boost cruised. I never
got a DUI du I got caught for driving without
having my license, like stupid stuff. But you know, it
was a while ago, and then I didn't choose to
run for office after that I got caught. I've talked
about this on the air before. I got caught with
(36:53):
pot once and h and in a state where now
you can have pot, right, so right, it's.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Not even got time for speeding. But my father was
a Plano police officer, so I'd always name drop and.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
It usually got out of it, usually got out of it.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
But that being said, that actually is a conflict though,
if you're absolutely I mean it's a it's a if
you're running, it's a moral conflict if you're running as
a judge and conservative judge.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Right, all right, before we.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Run out of time here, Texas decriminalized hooking under pimps.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, so if you are a lady of the night
in Texas, if you are, if you the oldest profession
it is and we cite that for sure, if you
basically they passed this bill and basically if you say
that you were under duress and you were bullied into
it by your pimp, that they basically will provide you immunity.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
So if you are listening to if you're a lady
of the night listening to this, I love this show,
we give you specific instructions if you scroll down how
to make sure that you are not going to get
deemed for your nighttime job.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
What's this sex trafficking? There was a spy you and clear?
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yeah. Yeah, so basically it's like sex trafficking was never
really searched until like a certain year, uh, relatively recent
us from books. That's what this means, right, Well, that's
it's just a viewer it's just it's relevant to the screenshot.
I don't know why Tommy included that, but like, yeah,
if you scroll down, you'll see like and keep going
and keep going, you'll see there that Uh wait, who's this?
(38:14):
This is a Democrat judge that basically tried to like
stop this loophole. But yeah, here's your instructions, right, So
you need to save your threatening texts from your pimp,
document your pimp asking for his money, get detailed receipts
from your pimp, et cetera. So we've got if you're
if you're listening to this, go to our website and
uh and get your instructions on how to stay out
of Joe.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Bottom line me here should uh uh two consenting adults,
you're very conservative jam two consenting adults having one of
them offers the other money, fully grown adults, law abiding
medical background checks.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Should this be illegal?
Speaker 5 (38:46):
No? I don't think it should, and and that a
lot of people are gonna be mad at me about that.
But I think if to consenting adults and they just
want to do it and get money for it and
exchange money for it, like legalize it, I think we
can have an incredibly long discussion is to my theory
as to why the left isn't pushing for this.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
I mean, I think this is the most libertarian Republican
talk show in Texas, So you know how I.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Feel that Democrats aren't pushing for this. That's really weird.
And why aren't they pushing for this? My theory is
that the feminists don't want this.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Why because despite being feminists and empowered women, if you
allow men to pay money to sleep with a woman, sure,
that immediately kills the dating pool for women, the power
women to have overmend overnight. Yeah, because men's generally probably
spend more money on a rather large, ugly looking woman,
(39:34):
sure for dinner, drinks, coffee, just because they want to
get something else. Yeah, and then nothing, possibly nothing happens.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
And to your point, like women don't go to strip
clubs and spend the last dollar in their paycheck while
they're sad and depressed on a Tuesday night, men have
biological needs that women just don't have. And that's evident
by the fact that here in Houston, you could throw
a stone in any direction, you'll hit a barbecue restaurant,
a gun range, and a strip club. And it's not
a strip club for women to go watch men. That's
(40:01):
never the case, Tony, We've gone along on this Curtent
Revault dot com. Tony ortiz One my brother from another dude.
Always great having you here follow him on AX.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
You will be glad that you did. I'll be at
the Texas Youth Summit.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I'm speaking at three ish on Saturday, so get there
for that tomorrow, but I'll be.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
There today as well.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Obviously everybody will be hanging out and if you haven't
gotten take a check. Go to Texas Youth Summit dot com.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I love you all. We'll be back brain early Monday
morning for more of what you bought a radio for.
You are listening to.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
The Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. The A Suit
of Happiness us on your radio toel just as cheeseburgers
a liberty rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Two, not one, but two flying cars just collided during
a demonstration in China.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I have a question about that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
When airbags deploy in the air, are they just called bags?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't know. I do know. Tony Ortiz is stopping
by today.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
He is the creator of Current Revolt dot com, a
very controversial news outlet that is hated by a lot
of elected officials in the state of Texas because of
the scandalous reporting that they do. He'll be stopping by
shortly before we get to any of that. Can we
talk about why people hate websites like Current revolt dot com.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's because Current Revolt dot.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Com is on the Internet publishing news story that make
politicians look bad. There are a lot of things on
social media that don't make politicians look good, and it's
probably part of the reason why they hate it so much.
I know I'm sounding a little sophomoric here in my
explanation of this, but it's valid Peter Hack recently reported
on what the Democrat Senator of Hawaii said. That's Brian
(01:18):
Schatz and his advice to Americans after the assassination of
Charlie Kirk. It was very straightforward. He said, pull yourself together,
read a book, get some exercise. He made this point,
he said, what the f difference does it make if
the murderer was left or right? That's what he was
saying the sentiment, by the way. Bipartisan Utah Governor Spencer
(01:40):
Cox went further, warning that cancer probably isn't a strong
enough word for what social media is and what it
does what it does to us. Senator Mark Kelly also
lamented it's corrosive effects. Can I first point out here
that these guys are not wrong, but I would contend
(02:00):
that the people most in need of that advice are
not ordinary people like you and I. No, not the case.
The people that need to hear that the most are
actually politicians. The truth is that the outsized role social
media plays in our national life has not been thrust
upon politicians by an unruly mob of online partisans.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Not the case.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It is actually the political class itself that has adopted, exploited,
and amplified this distortion, governing not with the sober minded
seriousness that the office requires, but with the theatricality demanded
by the algorithm. If social media is the cancer, it
is not simply afflicting our leaders. They have become its
(02:44):
primary spreaders. Consider how much of our political discourse is
now defined by viral clips rather than substantive arguments. Congressional hearings,
which once were meant to establish facts, explore completing ideas,
or old institutions accountable, now function as stages for prescripted
(03:06):
soundbites engineered for maximum shareability. And there's so many examples
of this. Corey Book's infamous I Am Spartacus speech. Matt
Gates devoted more energy to online feuds with colleagues than
crafting legislation, and I like Matt Gates, Elizabeth Warren distills
complex policy into gifts designed for retweets, wrote Rosa Delaro
(03:28):
creates absurd TikTok videos using gen z slang in a
futile effort to be hip, even though she's an old lady,
and who could forget AOC. Alexandria Casio Cortes curating Instagram
lives that feel more like campaiyment infomercials than windows into governing.
The cumulative effect all of this has been and continues
(03:50):
to be devastating. What was once at least a pretense
of legislating for the good of the nation has collapsed
into a race for attention, with politicians mistaking engagement metrics
for legislative effectiveness. The boundary between campaigning and governing has
dissolved entirely, leaving us with elected officials who appear more
(04:13):
concerned with trending on Twitter than with slapping and enduring law.
This is why so many Americans mistakenly think social media
is politics. It's probably because politicians treat it that way.
Every hot take, every dunk, every gotcha line is designed
not for debate on the Senate floor, but for consumption online.
(04:36):
And then these same politicians step back, wag their fingers
at voters and declare that social media is poisoning democracy.
Spare me your lectures. Yeah, social media has warped our culture.
Sure it's contributed to polarization and even violence. But citizens
aren't the only ones guilty of overindulging in the dopamine drip.
(05:00):
The people who have the most power to shape the
direction of this country are themselves social media addicts, posting
for clout while pretending to govern. If politicians were serious
about curbing the destructive influence of social media, they might
not be wagging their fingers at voters, but maybe disciplining
themselves to stop governing through hashtags, stop performing for the cameras,
(05:23):
maybe stop measuring success and clicks rather than compromises. Imagine,
just for a moment, what our political culture might look
like if senators conducted hearings with the genuine intent to
uncover truth rather than generate viral moments. If debates were
oriented toward persuasion rather than owning their opponents, If legislation
(05:45):
were written with an eye toward the common good rather
than toward boosting ones online following. But that would require
politicians to recover from old wisdom, the wisdom that governing
is not, and never was meant to be performance art.
The more they treat it as such, the more they
inflate the very distortion they now decry, granting social media
(06:06):
and outsized influence over American life that it never would
have attained on its own. So, by all means, take
the Senator's advice, read a book, get some exercise, but
start with those who need it most, the men and
women in office who seem to have forgotten that their
job is not to entertain the Internet, but to serve
(06:27):
the republic.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
James King Let's this is Kenny Webster's furs Suit of
Happiness on KPRC nine fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
One in eight Americans think they can get away with
a serious crime. That number would have been higher, but
the survey was conducted after Ohjay died. Everybody, welcome back,
Tony Ortiz stopping by very soon before we get anywhere.
I was looking at a report at Breitbart Calm today,
one of my favorite news sites, and they were talking
about how John Stewart and Stephen have now weighed in
(07:01):
on the Jimmy Kimmel suspension. And you're not gonna believe this,
but John Stuart and Stephen Colbert have made Jimmy Kimmel's
suspension all about John Stuart and Stephen Colbert. If you
were looking for an oasis away from the left's bidder
and divisive politicizing of Charlie Kirk's brutal murder, former comedians
John Stuart and Stephen Colbert were not the place to go.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Not even a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Both once again abused their late night purchase to make
the long overdue suspension of Jimmy Kimmel all about them.
John Stewart was so eager to make it all about
John Stuart he rushed into the studio on Thursday, even
though he normally only quote unquote works on Monday. Listen
to this report Where's this from NBC News reports. John
(07:47):
Stuart returned to the Daily Show with a government approved
program and referred to President Donald Trump as quote our
great father and dear leader. He joked about Trump's recent
visit to the United Kingdom and played a clip of
a reporter's question about Kimmel and whether free speech was
under attack in America. How dare you, sir? Stuart bellowed,
(08:07):
what outfit are you with, sir? The Antifa Herald Tribune.
When the audience booed or express dismay, John Stuart in
a panic trying to shush them. A group of correspondents
delivered a message in unison and showered the president with
over the top praise as though they lived in a dictatorship. Naturally,
(08:28):
these soon to be podcasters Stephen Colbert did the same thing.
Here's a report from USA Today. Quote tonight, we are
all Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert said as the start of his monologue,
before getting mad about the suspension and calling it Blaytant's censorship.
With an autocrat, you cannot give an in, she continued.
(08:48):
If ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime,
they are woefully naive and clearly they've never read the
children's book. If you give a mouse a Kimmel, and
to Jimmy, just let me say I stand with you
and your staff one hundred percent end quote.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Both of these dudes are lying this claim that the
FCC had something to do with Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. It
was the affiliates who owned the local stations that pressured
the leftists at ABC and Disney to suspend Kimmel's basement
rated show. That's it, That's all it was. ABC and
Disney have one, but not four, online streaming services. I
made this point in the morning, so i'll quickly make
(09:27):
it now. Hulu owned by Disney, and ABC Disney Plus
owned by Disney and ABC, Abcnews dot Com, ABC dot Com.
These are all places where you could stream ABC's content.
None of them are regulated by the FCC. If the
FCC chairman is preventing Jimmy Kimmel from getting on terrestrial broadcasting,
(09:48):
what's preventing Disney from putting this show somewhere else?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
This argument about the FCC would have made a lot
more sense fifteen or twenty years ago. But ever since
the advent of Netflix and so many other platforms, lou
being one of them, the FCC doesn't really play that
big of a role anymore in deciding what you get
to watch on a TV screen other than terrestrial broadcasting,
meaning like old school antennas.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
That's what that means. The FCC has nothing to do
with it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
When Kimmel said that Charlie Kirk's a Q Sassin was MAGA,
that was a clear violation of public interest the public
interest cause, and that comes with the privilege of using
the public airwaves, the privilege ABC and its affiliates get
for free. But that doesn't mean that's the only place
where ABC could have put the show, So why didn't
they put it somewhere else? Jimmy Kimmel deliberately spread disinformation,
(10:41):
and that's something he's been doing for all ten years
of the Trump era, and it is only now caught
up with him. ABC and Disney, the same company, violated
the public interest by giving two hours of unanswered airtime
every day to the View and.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Jimmy Kimmel, both of whom mislead.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
All the country and spread conspiracy theories against the political right.
At the very least, if Stephen Colbert and John Stewart
had admitted that what Jimmy Kimmel said about Maga murdering
Charlie Kirk was a lie, that would be something. But
these guys are garbage. We cannot unify with garbage. Sorry,
(11:25):
not sorry, It's kind of interesting too. Democrats want unity.
John Nolty made this point. Apparently Republicans and Democrats finally
agree on something. There's finally something we can unify around
(11:46):
boycotting Disney. Now we've been saying on the right for
a long time. It's not that I support cancel culture.
I just don't support things I don't like. I don't
like Disney. I don't like ABC. I don't watch it.
I'm not into it. I'm not a customer. I'm not
a consumer of their content. I don't like what they
did with the Marvel movies. I don't like what they
did to Star Wars, so I just don't support it.
(12:08):
And conservatives have felt that way for a while.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Obviously, conservatives were very upset when Rose Ambarr got fired
by Disney ABC for the crime of writing a tweet
about Valerie Jared Gina Carano was fired from Star Wars
for the crime of being a right wing conservative. We've
seen this for a while. Now we're seeing something else happen.
(12:34):
Instead of just for Maga, instead of just Republicans. Now
the leftists are asking people to go out and boycott
Disney and ABC and ESPN and Hulu. It's all the
same company. Let us lock arms, God bless America.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The interiet today is filled with leftists saying they're going
to cancel their Disney streaming service. Good more please. The
dismantling of Disney is one hundred percent Mega endorsed. What
we have here is check made Donald Trump made liberals
boycott Disney. He made them demand the release of the
Epstein files. He even made them demand to lower taxes,
(13:13):
because after all, that's what a teriff is. So Democrats
have cornered themselves and the only out they see right
now is to harm and even destroy one of the
most left wing corporations in America. When ABC and Disney
canceled Gina Carano or Rose Ambar or Tim Allen, these
same people said nothing. They loved cancel culture then, and
(13:35):
all three of those people were part of very successful programs.
Jimmy Kimmel is not only an overpaid ratings disaster, unlike
the other three, he is not simply guilty guilty of
telling a tasteless joke or expressing an opinion. He deliberately
used the publicly owned airwaves to spread disinformation, disinformation that
Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was a Trump supporter. Kimmel committed
(13:58):
an ethical breach of conduct. So now the left wing blacklusters,
they're cornered. The reaping phase has begun, and all they
can do is target one of their own Disney and
ABC for annihilation as they move over to our side
of the aisle raging against cancel Culture.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Isn't it lovely? It's glorious.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The very same people that were accusing us of participating
in cancel culture at the beginning of the week because
we were getting teachers fired for celebrating a school shooting.
Are now demanding that people boycott ABC and Disney, and
you'll love to see it. We got them right where
we want them. These maniacs murdered a good person, and
(14:43):
then they celebrated that murder. Everything changed forever for Republicans
and for America in general on September tenth. The conservatives,
the right wingers, the MAGA movement now knows who wants
us dead. And we must remain peace full and lawful
and relentless and merciless and destroying them, all of them,
(15:04):
the legal way. Tony Ortiz from Current Revolt dot Com
will be here right after.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
This Happiness Radio.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So Mark Zuckerberg's AI glasses glitched during his big demonstration yesterday.
Apparently he was nervous and awkward and uncomfortable, and then
the glasses glitched. Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for
turning on the radio. If you're watching us streaming on
the internet right now, I don't need to explain it to you. You
already know where you are and who's we well. I'm
(15:42):
here obviously whenever I have a studio in studio Guest,
I always like to turn the cameras on and let
people see what's going on here in studio.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
See.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I don't know why it's called Studio Cee Tony Ortiz.
It's the first studio when you walk into the building.
Do you notice that it's the cool studio. I don't
know this is I don't know why. iHeart Media says
this is Studio C. Studio A comes next, then Studio B.
What do you think they're telling me?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
I don't know, man, it seems almost like a ranking.
Maybe I don't know, Tony. You know what I like
about you is you're willing.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're willing to have uncomfortable conversations, and a lot of
people in our our our industry are not. You're for
those who don't know who Tony Ortiz is. I'm a
big fan of Current Revolt dot com. You guys will
write stories nobody else will write, and then you put
them on the internet and they go hugely viral, and
people are like, who's this Tony Ortiz?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Guy? Who's funding him? Who is this guy? You're just
some guy. I'm just a normal innocent guy. You're like,
You're like the comfortably smug of Texas. That guy's kind
of weird. I hope you don't want to be that guy.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
But you've been on some of the biggest podcast Tim
Poole's show.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You've been obviously this one. It doesn't get any bigger
than this. It's true. I came all the way from
Dallas to be here. Well, you're actually here for the
You're here for the Texas Youth Summit, right, And I
am Christian Collins, a youth summit, and you're a You're
obviously you're conservative. I am, You're very conservative. I am.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I am pretty much on the farther's right of the spectrum,
not the farthest right, but pretty far.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You're not like neo nazi, right, but like you're a
pill No, I'm not a I'm not neo nazi, fiscal conservative,
paleo conservative. Would you say you're more conservative than the
current Republican mainstream party, right?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah? Probably.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I think that the party is doing a good job
of going towards that direction.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
But yeah, probably, I tend to agree with that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You will write stories about people on your side, right
that are that are a career ending.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah, oftentimes.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
And then the fact is like, we're in the state
of Texas, right, and so if you don't like the
way things are done in Texas, generally, it's a.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Republican's fault, right.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Okay, well that's fair because you're mostly doing Texas politics.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Right, we only do Texas politics.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, I'm honestly, I am a big fan of most
of the people speaking at the Texas Youth Summit this weekend.
And even though I'm not really a fan of I
wouldn't say like I'm their enemy or I've been very
critical of Governor Abbott. You know, I think I think
I'm more conservative than him. But during this time that
we're living in right now, I don't think he's the
worst governor. I'm not going to go so far as
to endorse him or praise him. I've always called him
(18:11):
governor good enough. He's speaking there this weekend. I will
tell you this, somebody that's speaking there this weekend that
my white conservative friends love Maya Flores.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
See.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I'm a big fan of Mayra Flores. Some of my
biggest stories are because of Missus Flores.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
But you told me something about her I did not know.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I like her.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I think she's a good person, but you told me
something I did not know about her.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
I'm sure she's a great person. I'm sure she's a
phenomenal person. She also has really great taste in food
and collecting food pictures from other people.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
About an hour ago, we were wrapping up the morning
show and my co host Steve Johnson Radio Broadcast Legend,
left this room and he said to me, Hey, if
you see Mayra Flores this weekend, let me say hi
to her for me. Steve, a white, pale faced gringo
from Texas, love my Reflorenes.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's a big fan of her.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And you told me something about Hispanic conservatives in Texas
that I'd never heard before.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
I have there's a lot of usman, which what was
that that they don't like my reformance? Oh yeah, well
that's kind of a thing, right, So, like, I've talked
to a lot of a lot of the Hispanics down
in her district, the one she's choosing to run to
at this time, and a good chunk of them are
not a big fan of hers. In fact, the recent
pollings she published kind of shows that it shows that
(19:30):
I think it was something like fifty percent are undecided,
and she's run four times. This is her fourth time running,
third time lose. Well, she's lost several times before, but
this is her fourth time running. And yeah, she put
out a poll and people are still undecided about her,
which is really odd.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
So what is it that Hispanic voters don't? I mean,
policy wise, she's on the right side of most positions
that conservatives seem to support. She has a vowel at
the end of her name. I mean, isn't this the
stuff she's checking off? A lot of things here that
you do well in a Texas election a conservative Hispanic
but not her for some reason.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah, I think the community's pretty tight knit down there,
and they've got, you know, maybe personal beef with her.
I think some of it's that, you know, a lot
of people aren't. I think a lot like it sounds
so petty, But that story about her that we wrote
up about her basically stealing food pictures and passing them
off as her own, okay, it shows like it shows
like she's like disingenuine, right, like not really authentic.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Right, that's a thing that she really did.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
She takes photos of food that she didn't actually cook,
and then she posted on social media.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
People were calling it grubgate.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah, she was taking like years old photos from different
parts of the country, not even Hispanic or Latin American countries,
and saying that she had cooked them and that they
were her own, and did this repeatedly for a very
very long time. And it was such a it was
such an ordeal that she ended up changing her Twitter
(20:58):
name because she was getting harassed so much online.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
It's pretty funny. What pretty funny she changed her handle
on Twitter handle. I didn't know that it was something.
I don't know what it was before. Yeah, it's the
article in the bottom right of the screen where it
is this drubgate. Hang on, let me show everybody what
we're looking at here, grub gate right there there it is. Yeah, yeah,
all right, So here's maya. There are two things Texans
know as a fact. Politicians lie about really stupid stuff.
(21:24):
Mexican food is tasty. Now RFK Junior says that Mexican
food is BS. It's all basically the same thing.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Yeah, we've talked about this, and I agree with RFK Junior.
It was an AI video, but I agree with Ai
RFK Junior. Just tacos, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
The ranch life with the family is the best but
she didn't actually take this photo.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
No.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yeah, if you keep scrolling down, we actually post where
it came from.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's from visit Guyana. Oh my god. And look at
the date twenty two.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
How about that? And what are these?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Are these tortillas or it's a taco it's all yeah,
it's all tacos, meat, vegetable to.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I think Jim Gaffigan did a bit of a hard
shell soft shell. I do love it. They're they're good.
Not my favorite foods.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The biggest difference between text mex and Mexican would be
but flower do.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
You have that?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
And like text Mix is generally more spicy. I think
they more focused on like the spiciness of the food.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Maybe my problem with Dallas has always been the food.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Cause it's like Dallas is like a nicer version of
Houston with worse food.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Would you agree with that.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
It's like it's classier and cleaner, But then when you
go out and you check out the food scene, it's
not you guys have nothing on Houston.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I mean it's not even close. Yeah, the women are
cuter in Houston, I think too.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I Okay, this is anecdotal. I'm certainly gonna get on
followed for this.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
But during my.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Brief during my brief time on a dating app, I
felt like the women were cuter in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well, they're larger. If that's your thing.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I think we're confusing Dallas for San Antonio and baby, Oh,
it's in Uro some torta.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
In Dallas, it's torta. Can you explain that tort what's
a torto?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
This is a derogatory term for a large Hispanic female.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
And it's actually but is it deroga?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Because my Latino friends, my Hispanic buddies want to go
out drinking on the weekend. Yeah, tort hunting, and I'm
gonna do the voice. Can I have your permission?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You always have.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
It's like he's like, Kenny, Bro, We're going out this
weekend to get some tortas, Bro, And I'm like, we're
going eating. They're like, no, Kenny, We're gonna get some
chunky Hispanic girls. And they love them, dude. They're very passionate.
But to them it's not an insult.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
They love it. Yeah, not my thing, not here my thing?
You are? Can I out you on the air? Yeah?
Please do.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
I'm very public about this. You're you have an Asian thing.
If I'm not missaying, I'm of the Asian persuasion.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Yeah, my wife is Japanese, Is that right?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I lost dated Asian girls.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
And you've been to Japan. I actually am going back
here very very soon.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
All right. Yeah, So riddle me this, because Japan is
the one country in the West with maybe South Korea
as an exception here, very similar values as US and
then the rest of the Far East over there.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
What did I say the west?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Japan is one country in the Far East with very
similar values to Western countries.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, like conservative social values for sure. Why is that?
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I think that they're just like a very like racially
homogeneous country and they're very strict on standards and they
don't they're not ones for like you go down there
and like every guy's wearing the same color suit. It's
very conservative for the most part. I don't know what
it is, but like, yeah, when I met my wife,
she's not even political, but we just meshed naturally because
(24:21):
her family and her were just naturally conservative.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Jean has something to do with the fact that they're
on an island, so they're all nationalists. They don't want
strangers coming in is that part of it.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
That could be it, And that's kind of what's kept
them so safe. People will not like to hear that,
but that's one of the things that's kept Japan really safe,
is the fact that they're like on an island, and
that Japan is generally for Japanese. I mean, you can
even you know, become a citizen in Japan, and you
can be born in Japan. But if you're not ethnically Japanese,
they don't ever accept you as a Japanese.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
All right, explain this to me. This sound ef fact.
I'm gonna ute the mic so you can hear it.
Why does that defend I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Every time that sound plays in my head, every time
my wife walks through this, So I don't know why
that offense anything.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Very quick break more with Tony Ortiz from Current revol
right after this.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
If you miss any part of Pursuit of Happiness radio,
you may do irreversible damage to the course of your
entire existence, or you might not.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh hey, everybody, real quick quick break Hang on one second,
all right, Happy birthday today to Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon
turns fifty one to day. He will celebrate by having
a job. He has a job, and other, as you know,
other late night show hosts do not have a job.
Tony Ortiz of Current Revolt dot Com jobs, Yeah, we work,
you know. Yeah, I don't get paid the kind of
(25:43):
Jimmy Fallon excuse me, Jimmy Kimmel was making eighty.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Five thousand dollars in episode. Do you think there's only
one hundred and twenty thousand people were tuning in? Isn't
that crazy? That's insane. It totally just propped up propaganda machine.
Our our morning radio show.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
To put that into perspective, reach is a seven digit
number every week, and it's me and Steve Johnson and
as you know, and the characters or I won't go
to the details on the air if you know, you know,
but you know, we're not making that kind of money.
Like I get paid a lot of money to do
my job. I really appreciate it. I'm very grateful, but
I'm not making eighty five thousand dollars an episode.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Could you imagine?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Yeah, and only one hundred and twenty thousand viewers, Like
I can I've had tweets that get more views and
I'm like a nobody.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Who's it for? Who is that show for?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
That show is for leftists that want to be self mentally,
I can't I don't know if I could say the
word on air, but they.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Just want to be They want to have their views
like regurgitated to them.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
You would be surprised at what you could say on
the air. We can't say the S word, the F word,
or the C word. We can't say the mental masturbation
for you could say that, yeah, yeah, we get away
with a lot because talk radio is such a big
deal in Houston that I heard in Texas. In general,
talk radio is huge in Texas. For those that don't know,
it's definitely not going anywhere where. iHeartMedia owns two talk
radio stations in Houston. One of them is KTRH, one
(27:04):
of the most important serious talk stations in the country,
massive signal reaches well beyond the scope of Texas itself,
one of the biggest news radio stations in the world.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
And the other station is us KVRC Radio.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
We really, we really do get away with some things here,
probably the morning shows. Me in the afternoon show is
Jesse Kelly. To give you an idea of what we
get away with around here. All right, let's talk about this.
This just broke. I mean I just learned about it.
They hate you, and they think normal American beliefs are fascist.
That's what we've heard over and over again. Case in point,
there's a group of adults on social media who infiltrated
(27:43):
group chat rooms and coordinated to destroy students for wanting
to start a Turning Point USA chapter in the Spring
Branch School district at Stafford High School in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
This is right down the street from here. You heard
about this a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
What's interesting is the Turney Paxson's already put out a
statement that he's investigating to see if any crimes were committed.
I actually got linked the story by our friend Tom Slocum,
a Houston Patriot. Yeah, and he had claimed that the
woman that wrote this post was a Democrat woman that
had voted in a Republican primary, and he gave me
her voter ID. I ran her voter ID on the
(28:20):
ride here, and yeah, confirmed, like, this is a woman
who is a hardcore Democrat, leftist, LGBTQ, et cetera, et cetera,
and she most recently voted in a Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Well, they always do.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
For those who don't live in Texas, they're probably confused
by this, But Democrats often we have open primaries here
we do, meaning you don't have to register for what
party you are, and then you can decide what primary
you want to vote in based.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
On who's on the ballot. Yeah, it goes both ways,
for sure. How do you feel about the open primaries?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
So statistically, it shows that Republicans crossover vote more than Democrats.
That's what statistics show. I'm not saying that's okay, that's
just what the numbers.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Are showing, which misilating.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
But the reason for that is, like, if you live
in Houston or Dallas or Austin or San Antonio or
any like other major leftist city and you are a Republican,
you have no choice. You aren't gonna get a Democrat,
so you crossover and you voted in a Democrat primary
to hopes that in the hopes that you get the
least most insane Democrat, right right, And so that does happen. Now.
(29:22):
Of course, in some races where you've had it very close,
like for example, the Daide Feeling race, the argument can
be with I think that race was what less than
five hundred that he won by uh huh. You had claims,
and you had a lot of Democrats even openly stating
that they voted in the Republican primary for daid feelings.
So this does happen, and it does affect races and
(29:43):
the parties looking at closing these down.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
People ask all the time, how'd you guys get John
Cornyn in Texas? How do you guys get Dan Crenshaw? Yeah,
how is it? You guys? Have you know Dade Failin
for example? I think this is the answer, right?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Possibly right? And I don't know, you know, I think
what was it?
Speaker 5 (29:58):
There was like Operation Kimera what it was called Operation
rush Limbaugh did this?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yeah, Rob rush Limbaugh.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Well, supposedly Wesley Hunt was a part of it. Years
and years ago they had rush Limbaugh encouraged Conservatives to
go out and vote in a Democrat primary.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And I could be wrong about that. I don't mean to.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Remember the name of it, but I don't know operations.
Something I forget. I think Wesley Hunt was part of
it because he was asked once. I could be wrong
about that why he would voted there. Maybe I'm miss
maybe I'm mistaking him with someone else, Well, did I
just do a racism on the are? Well he's he
is speaking at the event this weekend, and as is
Ken Paxton, as is Angela Paxton. Now a lot of
(30:38):
people think Wesley Aaron Wright's there, and we've got a
whole mays Middleton. Right, there's a lot of people at
this Texas Youth Summit this weekend who are unified, who
people believe are enemies with each other, that are unifying
together to not only honor Charlie Kirk but go out
and spread conservative values to young people.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I mean, what, what's your reaction to that?
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I don't know if Angela Paxton and are Senator Angela
Paxton and real Ken packs that are really unified, maybe
maybe it's going to be It might be a little awkward.
It might be a little awkward, but I love awkward moments.
Have you heard anything that we don't know?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
No, I just I mean, you know they're going through
a divorce, and a very public and a very heated divorce. Right,
She's claiming that he he had an affair, and of
course the Daily Mail put out an article uh saying
that they confirmed that affair and even posted pictures of
the woman and the packs and campaign put out a
statement and they didn't deny the affair, which is interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, so I don't think I don't think that conservative.
I don't think primary Republican voters care. I mean, look
at Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Not at all.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You know, I as you know, in my rag, we
report on affairs all the time, and the as somebody
who's reported on all the time. The very very first
question I always get asked when I mentioned that I'm
working on affair stories, what does she look like? Ah,
that's always the first question.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Well, when there's a teacher that has sex with a student,
what's the first thing on the right.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
And then a guy complaining that there was no hot
teachers when he was in.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
And then that, and then that classic joke the victim
is still recovering in the hospital after almost being high
five to death.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah it is a good line.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah it is, it is, And so yeah, people, yeah
it won't affect him if anything like it. It was
a hunter Biden faced the same thing. The dude was
just like laying pipe across the country and like people
thought he was cool. He was just doing drugs and
hooking up with chicks all over And I completely disavow
this behavior.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
But that's what he did, and nobody cared. All right, Right, So.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Everybody thinks Wesley Hunt's about to announce that he's running
for Senate because he's been you know, actors and texts,
Paul's and all those things.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, and we don't know if that's true or not.
I have no idea, but he might.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
One thing is for one, something that seems a little
more obvious to me is the thing with AOC. I'm
gonna throw this up on the screen here. Axios has
a story this week claiming AOC is about to run
for president. Now, if true, when this explain everything. The
minute Trump won, AOC and Bernie start going doing rallies
out in red states in the West, the fight the
(32:56):
Oligarchy tour. They're not doing that for nothing, Tony, Right,
She's they're going to challenge Chuck Schumer, an incumbent, for
his Senate seat, which wouldn't shock anybody because she did
get her current job from challenging an incumbent. And one
or she's going to run for president. What do you
think seems more likely?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
The pendulum dictates that a far leftist is going to
run for office.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah, that's just.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
How the pendulum of ideology and elections swing. Right, it's
going to swing back in the other direction. It doesn't happen.
But run, I mean she could run. She'll be someone's
running mate. Yeah, she'll be someone's running mate for sure.
I mean she's not old enough I think to be
at the top of the like the president. Right, but
she'll run. She might run his vice president who who knows?
You know, I don't really watch national stuff, but I
(33:37):
mean she's she's she's an idiot. I mean, I've heard
her speak. I don't find her intelligent by any means,
but she gets people going. She knows how to beat
the drum. She's very attractive for a politician.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I think. Right, you don't watch national stuff. Really, I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
I don't follow national politics at all. It just goes
in one ear and out the other.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
When I look at Current revolt dot com and I
like I look at I try to look at it
once a day, so it's always on the days when
I don't look at it that you have the craziest
news story that published you You the content's free, but
you do have content on the website that people have
to pay for.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
It right, we do pay wall.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Some stuff, right, especially because like you know, I do
this full time now and you know, gotta I gotta eat,
So yeah, I definitely do uh do pay wall some stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Can we for appreciate a happiness radio viewers? Can we
show them behind the wall from them? Because I subscribe
and you have a thing I love reading every week
called many people are saying, and many people are saying.
It is a great name for it because it tells
you what you're about to get. We do a segment
on the Walton and Johnson show called Died Suddenly. You know,
you know, you get what it is right without having
(34:43):
to explain it. Well, many people are saying, is your
way of explaining that these are rumors, but rumors are
often true.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Right, it's a Trump is them. Actually. Trump used to
always say, well, many people are saying, many people are saying,
and you would.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Do it to justify whatever it is he was doing.
And so yeah, we we got it from him. It's
a it's a Trump is But like today's article, we've
got this conservative judge in Tarren County, which for people
to know, is in like the Fort Worth area, who's
running as a conservative. You can see on the screen
here it says conservative your conservative choice for family judge.
But this woman and her husband have not only voted
(35:16):
Democrat prior, but they've also donated to Democrats and you know,
and campaigns. Well, you know, we posted a voting record
right there. I think the most recent Democrat vote was
back in Tuning twenty twenty, so five years ago.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
That was presidential A bad time to vote for Democrats.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Yeah, yeah, so voted in a twenty twenty Democrat primary, right,
And then several years ago or a handful years ago,
she campaigned for a Democrat judge against a Republican judge,
Alex Kim, who's a phenomenal judge, and then even donated
to Democrat judge.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
She gave what is this still on this fur hundred bucks?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Well it's not nothing, yeah, so it's a substantial amount
of money, you know. So now she's running as the
conservative choice, and I just I think that's a I
don't think it's been very conservative.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
No, it is a little hypocritical here. I love that
you published this though. I think it's such an interesting article.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
And here's photos of her with what Democrat judge, Yeah,
oh no, campaigning for him.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
That is a recredible photo.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, so it's like it's
it's black and white right there, and you know through it.
Her husband was arrested for a d w I just
last year, just in July last year, which which.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Normally wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But she is running as a judge, a conservative judge,
and it seems a little big here, a leftist judge.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Yeah, but you know, conservatives left to drink too.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Look, I'm no stranger to the backseat of a squad
car and me and my twenties I got into trouble
for all kinds of dumb styll boost cruised. I never
got a DUI du I got caught for driving without
having my license, like stupid stuff. But you know, it
was a while ago, and then I didn't choose to
run for office after that I got caught. I've talked
about this on the air before. I got caught with
(36:53):
pot once and h and in a state where now
you can have pot, right, so right, it's.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Not even got time for speeding. But my father was
a Plano police officer, so I'd always name drop and.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
It usually got out of it, usually got out of it.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
But that being said, that actually is a conflict though,
if you're absolutely I mean it's a it's a if
you're running, it's a moral conflict if you're running as
a judge and conservative judge.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Right, all right, before we.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Run out of time here, Texas decriminalized hooking under pimps.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, so if you are a lady of the night
in Texas, if you are, if you the oldest profession
it is and we cite that for sure, if you
basically they passed this bill and basically if you say
that you were under duress and you were bullied into
it by your pimp, that they basically will provide you immunity.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
So if you are listening to if you're a lady
of the night listening to this, I love this show,
we give you specific instructions if you scroll down how
to make sure that you are not going to get
deemed for your nighttime job.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
What's this sex trafficking? There was a spy you and clear?
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yeah. Yeah, so basically it's like sex trafficking was never
really searched until like a certain year, uh, relatively recent
us from books. That's what this means, right, Well, that's
it's just a viewer it's just it's relevant to the screenshot.
I don't know why Tommy included that, but like, yeah,
if you scroll down, you'll see like and keep going
and keep going, you'll see there that Uh wait, who's this?
(38:14):
This is a Democrat judge that basically tried to like
stop this loophole. But yeah, here's your instructions, right, So
you need to save your threatening texts from your pimp,
document your pimp asking for his money, get detailed receipts
from your pimp, et cetera. So we've got if you're
if you're listening to this, go to our website and
uh and get your instructions on how to stay out
of Joe.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Bottom line me here should uh uh two consenting adults,
you're very conservative jam two consenting adults having one of
them offers the other money, fully grown adults, law abiding
medical background checks.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Should this be illegal?
Speaker 5 (38:46):
No? I don't think it should, and and that a
lot of people are gonna be mad at me about that.
But I think if to consenting adults and they just
want to do it and get money for it and
exchange money for it, like legalize it, I think we
can have an incredibly long discussion is to my theory
as to why the left isn't pushing for this.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
I mean, I think this is the most libertarian Republican
talk show in Texas, So you know how I.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Feel that Democrats aren't pushing for this. That's really weird.
And why aren't they pushing for this? My theory is
that the feminists don't want this.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Why because despite being feminists and empowered women, if you
allow men to pay money to sleep with a woman, sure,
that immediately kills the dating pool for women, the power
women to have overmend overnight. Yeah, because men's generally probably
spend more money on a rather large, ugly looking woman,
(39:34):
sure for dinner, drinks, coffee, just because they want to
get something else. Yeah, and then nothing, possibly nothing happens.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
And to your point, like women don't go to strip
clubs and spend the last dollar in their paycheck while
they're sad and depressed on a Tuesday night, men have
biological needs that women just don't have. And that's evident
by the fact that here in Houston, you could throw
a stone in any direction, you'll hit a barbecue restaurant,
a gun range, and a strip club. And it's not
a strip club for women to go watch men. That's
(40:01):
never the case, Tony, We've gone along on this Curtent
Revault dot com. Tony ortiz One my brother from another dude.
