Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack ganon government sucks. The suit of happing is radio
is DeLux. Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A
suit of habing and us on your radio to Hel's
just as Cheeseburgers Living it rise at.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Today is Valentine's Day. This is a courtesy announcement for
all the husbands who forgot.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I know it's easy to forget, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'm fantasized about taking my Valentine to a tropical location,
you know, maybe somewhere along the Gulf of America. Thanks
so much for turning on your radio today, Big show
this afternoon. Michael quinn Sullivan will be stopping by in
just a little bit. He's the creator of Texas scorecard
dot com. He has destroyed the political careers of a
handful of people that probably most of you wouldn't even like. Also,
(00:52):
Brandon Darby stopping by Bray Part Texas. There's this thing
happening right now with Tom Homan that your borders are
and Mayor Eric Adams of New York City. It involves
illegal immigrants, it involves federal investigators, and involves Donald Trump,
and weirdly enough, it involves border security. So we're going
to get to all of that. Soon we'll talk about it.
(01:12):
And this, I think is interesting. I'd love to start
off the show with this today just moments ago, well
it wasn't just moments goes twenty four hours ago. RFK Junior,
Cheryl Hines, you know, the actress from Kirby Your Enthusiasm,
stood together in the Oval office in front of Donald
Trump's what do they call it, the Resolute desk, and
(01:34):
for the first time ever, the guy that's in charge
of the Department of Health and Human Services. He's not
a big pharmacy show. He's not necessarily even a medical doctor.
In fact, he's a critic of the pharmaceutical the healthcare industry,
even the food industry.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
His name is RFK Junior.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And oddly enough, as much as MSNBC and everybody wants
you to be terrified of this guy, way back in
two thousand and five years ago, he was a guest
on morning show MSNBC's Joe Scarborough welcomed him as a
guest and embraced his opinion.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
My son, born in nineteen ninety one, has a slight
form of autism called Asperger's but it seemed and again.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
When I was fraxing law.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And also when I was in Congress, parents would constantly
come to me and they'd bring me videotapes to their children,
and they were all around the age of my son
are younger. The generation happened in nineteen eighty nine exactly
the generation.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
What happened was the vaccine schedule was increased. We went
up from receiving about ten vaccines in our generation to
these kids received twenty four vaccines. And they all had
this time, Arisol and Missus Mercury and nobody fathered to
do an analysis of what the kino, the impact of
all that mercury was doing to kids. As it turns out,
(02:52):
we are.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm not going to make you listen to a twenty
year old segment I'm MSNBC because you know what a
FK junior is going to say. What's weird, isn't is
not the fact that they agreed with him. Then, it's
the fact that they don't agree with them.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Now, I don't agree with our FK junior on everything
involving vaccines or healthcare, drugs, or food or anything. But
I will tell you this, when you walk around America
right now, there's more gyms than ever before. There's more
health food grocery stores than ever before, there's more vitamin
supplements with a promo code that you can order online
(03:26):
than ever before. And yet somehow, oddly, when you see
photos of people from Galveston Beach in the nineteen sixties
and seventies, everybody's skinny and today everybody's fat. I don't
know what we're doing wrong, but clearly we're doing something
wrong because everywhere you go nowadays, people are sick and
they're overweight, and there's something wrong with them. Right, So
maybe bringing some guy in that wants to do things
(03:47):
a little bit differently than what we're currently doing, which
clearly isn't working, isn't the craziest thing I've ever heard,
especially when you consider that guys like Joe Scarborough or
even Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, toured around the
state of California in twenty nineteen, a year before the
pandemic with RFK Junior telling people he was against vaccine.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Mandates for kids.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
With me right now is staunch anti vaccine advocate Matthew
will Scheier, I'm single leader with the Young Republicans. Also
for the record, as staff member of the Daniel Crenshaw
campaign technically making you my friend of me, Matt. I
want to make something, Clairett. Matt's in the studio right now.
I love Matt. Matt's my buddy. I don't agree. I
don't agree with you on national political stuff I do
(04:31):
for foreign policy stuff, I don't agree with you on
I don't agree with Dan Crenshaw on that he's your friend.
I've been critical of him on the air. People ask
why am I friends with you, Matt? And it has
nothing to do with RFK Junior. You're not an anti vaxer.
When it comes to local political issues. Harris County, Houston, Texas,
Libertarians and neil cons need to work together. And also,
(04:52):
I don't get why you hate vaccines so much.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I don't ate vaccines.
Speaker 8 (04:56):
I think that, you know, I think that they're actually
very good for for the you know, our general health
is being able to fend off diseases. You know, obviously, Kenny,
you and I disagree on things like foreign policy. And
you know you disagree with Congress and Crenshaw on foreign policy.
But I guess that also means that you disagree with
Donald Trump on foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
So we can talk about that. Later in the show.
I do disagree with Trump on something, and I think
taking that's fine.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
But Dan Crenshaw and Donald Trump, they're pretty much in
lockstep on foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
They're making our enemies pay for being our enemies.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I mean, I don't disagree with that, but I do
think that turning the Gaza Strip into a golf resort
is probably not in the best interesting.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Hey, if out of the four different places that we
might be taken over, Canada, Greenland, Panama or Gaza, I
think that putting up a Trump tower in Gaza sounds
frankly just you know, like the biggest America middle finger possible.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I mean, the odd Here's the complicated thing about Israel,
because you know, I don't I do not like regime
change politics. I do not like West the thought of
westernizing the Mid East or whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It never works.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, the examples of Niger I can
go on, and which, by the way, is how you
pronounce that you've been saying it wrong. The examples go
on and on and on and on. The one place
in the Mid East, the one single place in the
Mead East where our regime change politics have worked over
the last half a century. It's not Iran, sadly, it's Israel.
(06:26):
It pains me to admit that out. Israel is the
one place where Western political regime change politics have actually worked.
It's the one place in the Mid East where we've
got democratic values, egalitarianism, gay rights, you know, as much
as I obviously don't care about that. But for the record,
you be gay in Israel, can't be gay in Gaza.
Have you never understood why liberals are so pro Gaza
(06:48):
and anti Israel?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
But well, because they view themselves as always being part
of the you know, supporting the underdog, and in their mind,
the Palestinians are the underdog. And that's a it's a
total mystery. It's it's an application of of left wing,
left wing values in the United States to foreign affairs.
And it doesn't make any sense because because Muslims are
(07:12):
a minority in the United States, well then they're the
minority and the underdog in the Middle East, which is absurd.
Now it's absurd.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
What what's the Jewish population of of Saudi Arabia zero? Zero?
Speaker 8 (07:24):
What's the Jewish population of of Libya zero?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Manah?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I mean because they were all expelled the Jews of
these countries were expelled when Israel was created, and now
in Israel is used as a foil by by Middle
Eastern countries, tou to be an enemy that they can
yell about to their people, while uh while being perfectly
(07:49):
happy that there's actually a stable country there that is
that is taking all the heat.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
The thing that is remarkable about this administration because you're
not a maga populist, you're a neocon, and you admit
that out loud.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Yeah, but I'm very happy with the things that I've
been seeing. I think, I frankly, I think that Donald
Trump has been significantly more aligned with the strong foreign
policy of my foreign policy.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He's through strength, yeah, of peace through strength. But here's
why that's a populous think about this. I'm a liberty Republican. Right,
I've got Elon musk Rand and Ron Paul are involved
in this thing, Right, Ron Paul's involved.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Vivek Ramaswami obviously a liberty Republican. I'm not a neo Kon.
But our new Secretary of State is Marco Rubio. In fact,
he's the only guy I think that got all ninety
nine votes. Weirdly, the neo con in the administration was
the least controversial.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
And because everyone knew that he was, there was no
question about his competence. There's no question about his background
or his ability to do the job.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I think it's because he's friends with all the other
Senators and he's bottom cocktails before.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
I mean, I think that that is part of the
job of being Let's be real, part of that job
of being a member of Congress is working with other
members of Congress. If you're a jerk and no one
wants to work with you, you're doing your state of disservice.
And Marco Rubio has gone and been a He's been
(09:12):
the voice on foreign affairs, and becoming Secretary of State
was the natural thing.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But isn't it kind of amazing that Neil Kahn, Marco Rubio, libertarian,
Ron Paul and Elon Musk liberal wacky you know, granola
liberal Rfk junior. This is the most ideologically diverse administration
we've ever seen in our life, maybe ever in American history.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Donald Trump brought them all together. It doesn't seem very
hitler to me.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
No. I think that when the left says stuff like that,
they're just its it's it's catn it for their base.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Have you changed Trump over the past, you know, because
I know you've voted for Kamala.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
I did not vote for Kamala. I did not vote
for Kamala. Look, I've been critical of Trump be because
I you know, I think that we need to hold
our own accountable when they are advocating for left wing things.
And but that is I think that Donald Trump has
done an amazing job in this first month, and I
think that we are so lucky we are seeing the
(10:16):
resurgence of America. He's making America healthy again. He's making
America great again. And I gotta say, just based on
the people that he's hiring, he's making America hot again.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, And like that was that was it?
Speaker 8 (10:28):
The the New Yorker article you know about you know,
taking the photograph and calling it like the cruel kids table.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But what it was was the hot kids table. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They took on photo of all these young Republicans, white, black,
Hispanic whatever, photoshopped and edited out all the black kids, right,
so it was just a table of really attractive white kids.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And then they thought that somehow, somehow that's a slam dunk,
a photo.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Of young attractive people having fun was going to make
Republicans look bad. You know, the craziest thing you did
of all the stuff you did, this new executive order
saying that any chick that doesn't put out on Valentine's
Day has to pay for her own oysters.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I thought that was crazy.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Our doctor told us the pills we took were just
a placebo, but he must not know what he's talking about, because, man,
those suckers worked. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It is Valentine's Day weekend, it is President's Day weekend,
and it's also apparently did you guys know, I didn't
know this this weekend, America acknowledges National Impotence Day so
the Kansas City Chiefs could celebrate too.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I think that is fantastic. Thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Returning on your radio, everybody. I have noticed things are
happening around the country, and they're happening rapidly. I've never
had and I say this all a bit reluctantly because
I you really you hate to jinx it, but during
my lifetime, and I'm a middle aged man, I'm in
my early forties, as you know, I can never remember
a time in this country when I have been as
(11:56):
happy with what my government is doing. I've never thought
I could not stand the George W. Bush administration. I
was a staunch libertarian in my early twenties. Honestly still am.
I'm still a liberty Republican. We've never had an administration
as libertarian is what we have right now. What DOGE
is doing, this discussion of auditing the IRS or auditing
(12:16):
the FED, the consideration Ron Paul is being discussed as
a serious person to step in and audit the FED.
Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, has openly repeated many
times that he wants to do that. Ron Paul said
he would participate. It's incredible. Have you looked at the
DOGE clock. There's a clock online very similar to the
National Debt clock, although this one will actually make you happy.
(12:39):
Instead of telling you how much money the government spending,
it tells you how much money DOGE has saved you.
It's in the tens of billions of dollars. It's a
lot of money at this point. And then equally is
interesting is the fact that the clock will eventually end.
The National Dead clock never ends. This clock ends July fourth,
twenty twenty six here in the Houston area.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
This I find fascinating as well.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Brandon Gill is a congressman from Texas who also happens
to be the son in law of Dinesh Desuza, a
frequent guest on our morning show. And Brandon Gill was
talking during the Doge subcommittee hearing this week, and the
lawmaker from North Texas defended the newly established Department of
Government Efficiency in a way that you would not expect
(13:24):
a freshman lawmaker to explain it, rather than me explaining
it to you a good friend. I'm very proud to
be friends with this guy and have him as a
weekly contributor to this radio show. The creator of Texas
scorecard dot com, arguably the most dangerous man in Texas
political media, Michael Quinn Sullivan, I know that you see.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Eye to eye with me on this. How great is Doge? Oh?
Speaker 10 (13:46):
You know it is a absolute breath of fresh air.
And look for someone like me, I'm a journalist. I
just I like to see things that go on. I
like more sunlightd I like having more open windows, more
open door on government. And for a long time we
knew there were problems, right, you know the I'm sure
(14:06):
you remember the old movie Independence Day and they go to
the secret Area fifty one and the president is a
gas how do you fund some of this stuff? And
you've got the character who says, what you think they
really spent twenty thousand dollars on a hammer? You know,
that is precisely what a lot of us have seen
when you watch that debt clock and the number biggeran going,
what the blazes are they spending this money on? But
(14:29):
we could never know, We could never know. They wouldn't
let us. You could ask as many questions you wanted
and you couldn't and they would never tell you. And
thanks to Elon Musk, thanks to Donald Trump thinks to
you know, kind of this whole host of folks been
a pointed into the cabinet and the sub cabinet positions.
We are finding out exactly why we have a thirty
six trillion dollar debt, and it's because we have been
(14:54):
letting the federal government fund the BBC. We've been letting
you know, you know, the BBC, that's the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
We've been sending them money.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
We've been you know, propping up Reiters, We've been propping
up Politico, We've been propping up all of these left
wing media operations. And then you take a look at
all these people who have been working, you know, an
hour a week, two hours a week, three hours a week,
remotely making eighty ninety hundred hundred and fifty two hundred
(15:26):
thousand dollars a year. It's absolutely insane that that's been
allowed to go on. But it has been allowed to
go on, and those is coming in shining a light
on it and watching these people scurry like the cockroaches
they are is glorious. It is truly the happiest time
of my life politically.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I mean honestly, Michael, from your mouth to God's ears,
I feel this exact same time, And since it is
Valentine's Day weekend after all, I feel like I. You know,
love is in the air. We can smell it, we
can we can sense it, we can feel it. As
a red blooded head American man, heteronormative cis gendered. Of course,
there are very few things I enjoy as much as
the love of a good woman. But I will tell
(16:04):
you one thing I do, one thing I do appreciate
in ways I never thought I could describe before. Is
hearing the President of the United States say we're going
to audit the IRS. O.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
The workers arrived today, Kevin Klegger and others arrived today
at the IRS. Do you expect to close the IRS
or what are you expecting?
Speaker 12 (16:22):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I don't expect it. Yeah, but I think so.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I think that the Internal Revenue Service will be.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Looked at like everybody. El's just about everybody's going to
be looked at.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
So it's you know, they go up and they talk
to some of the people about certain deals, and the
people get all tongue tied.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
They can't talk because these people get it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
They're very small positive pausit right here, Michael quinn Sullivan,
I'm so old. Thank you, invisible person in the back
of the room.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I am so old.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I can remember the twenty thirteen IRS tea party scandal,
in which the IRS stood at a in a courtroom
the head of the eye.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
These people's plugs a fifth.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
They wouldn't explain to us whether or not they were
bullying Judeo Christian nonprofit groups and tea party groups. I
can't remember a time that the IRS could do anything
that they wanted, they couldn't get into trouble even when
we knew they were doing something wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Michael, does this blow your mind or what? Oh?
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Well, I mean, you know, you let off talking about
this with Valentine's Day. I would say it's more important.
This is happening on President's Day, where finally, for the
first time in our lives, can you I mean, I'm
I'm fifty five years old, little you know, fifteen years
older than you, but you know, this is the first
time in life we have had a president of the
(17:40):
United States who is taking seriously his job as the
executive as the as the chief executive officer of the
United States of America, and is going through and asking
some really fundamental questions, like, you know, the Internal Revenue
Service House it being run, Is it being run to
our benefit or detriment? How are they spending the money
(18:03):
that they were given to collective money from us?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Are they doing the most efficient and effective job possible?
All these kind of very basic questions, And you have
to say, what the blazes have the previous you know,
forty some odd presidents been doing that. They allowed this too,
many of them.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Can he got elected because they wanted to be called
mister president. Two of them got elected because they wanted
to live in you know, fancy government housing in Washington,
d C. And they, you know, wanted to have a
steady supply of mistresses like John F. Kenny Jr. John Kennedy.
But you know, finally we have a president who for
(18:40):
whom being President United States is a step down. Yeah, financially,
step down. Socially for him to be the President United States.
They step down and he's doing the job. Thank goodness
for Donald Trump. That's all I can say.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
My brother, I completely agree. We can't talk about dog
without talking about Elon Musk. And something that Donald Trump
is repeated more than once is that Elon Musk will
not be involved in auditing, investigating, or cutting funding to
any part of our federal government that's a conflict of
interest to him, Meaning it doesn't look like he's going
to go pick around NASA for example, or you know,
(19:19):
things connected to that, right, And that's fine. In fact,
to this point in time, I think the money we
spend at NASA is just a drop in the bucket
compared to how much we send to places like Ukraine.
But all that being said, I love our space program.
I think it's fascinating. It's one of the least libertarian
things about me as a liberty Republican.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I think NASA is cool.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I think outer space is cool, and I love the
fact that SpaceX is home based. Star Base is about
to become here in Texas, in official city.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Can you give us the details on this yet.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Really cool soon? Under under state law, there's a process
by which cities can read probably process but she's become
incorporated doesn't have very often, but a group of people say, hey,
you know, we live out in the country, we want
to be a city. Certain things they have to do,
processes they have to follow, and there's also a way
in which cities can rename themselves and it requires a
(20:13):
vote to requires various notices and all those kind of things,
and you know, in some ways this is this is
kind of like a lot of stuff where everyone kind
of thought it was a joke a while back, but
but it's no longer a joke that we're going to
have Star based Texas prison. There's going to be a
vote in Cameron County, that's where SpaceX is located, and
they're going to be incorporating the city there as Star
(20:36):
Base Texas and that's pretty cool from a you know one.
It's good branding obviously for Musk, but it goes to
I think the fact that at least in some parts
of Texas, we have people who recognize that maybe we
need to be about the business of serving the people
of Texas and it includes are good corporate citizens like
(20:57):
Elon Musk and SpaceX and and help them achieve their
goals rather than being you know, the the nanny staters
wagging their fingers, you know as killed Joys. This is
something fun, This is something fun, and I think that
too often people on the left, on the right of
the oldest you can't have fun when you're doing public policy.
(21:18):
You can't have fun in the government. No, we'll all
be down and dour and upset and you have to
be you know, the cosmic killed Joys and everything else.
And instead, thank goodness for Cameron County Judge Eddie Coravinio Junior,
who said, you know what, we're going to move forward
to this and there's going to be an election there
in Cameron County a little later the spring to name
(21:40):
the city starbas pretty cool stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I love it. I think it's cool, and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It seems like a neat destination for spring break, although
it'd probably be a little bit difference in South Pydre Island.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Michael, you know what else is fun for me?
Speaker 10 (21:53):
It will be it will be the designated spot for
all nerds to spend their spring break. You will have
you'll have all the mechanical engineering majors, ald aerospace engineers
will all be there with their protractors and you know
whatever else they have.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You know, any you're not worth that smart, but yeah,
they'll know that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It'll be great and not as salacious as the Star
Wars burlesque tour that's heading around Texas right now.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I'm told I keep seeing ads for that everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
They're not paying me, by the way, but you know what,
you know what, I don't pay for the Houston Comical.
I don't pay for the Dallas Morning Snows or the
Austin Statesman or the Texas Tribune. I like getting my

Brandon has been covering the border since before anybody cared
about the border. He's been doing this radio show for
over a year. I've explained this to people many times.
His insight into this is vastly beyond what most people understand.
There was a time, like a decade ago where Brandon Darby,
believe it or not, was critical of Tom Holman back
when he was part of the Barack Obama administration. Is crazy,
(24:29):
and he's explained before that a lot's changed since then. Brandy,
Let's start out with this. Tom Holman is in New
York City today with Mayor Eric Adams, and the two
of them are talking about publicly speaking out to the
media about all the problems with what's going on with
our border, the broken immigration system, both of them obviously
blaming the Biden administration. Now Donald Trump has stepped in
(24:50):
and pointed out these charges against Eric Adams only existed
in Trump's opinion because of the fact that Eric Adams,
a somewhat moderate Democrat by New York City's was critical
of Joe Biden's border policies and immigration policies. And now
these federal prosecutors, I guess they're all stepping down, resigning.
We're supposed to be mad about that. Do you agree
(25:11):
with Trump? And how do you feel about these people
stepping down?
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Well, first off, anytimes someone doesn't agree with something they're
asked to do that they step down. I mean, that's
to be an honorable thing. Uh. You know, I don't
know enough about about the charges. I know what what
is publicly available about them doesn't sound good. Is it
possible that they only indicted it because he was critical
(25:38):
of the border. It's very possible. I just don't know.
Is it likely that there's some barrat to the charges. Probably?
Is it also likely that there's sperrit to his charges
that that that most mayors of New York City and
others have not done the same. That's possible too.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
It does seem to me, you know, we're in a
in a stage where of our nation's history where everyone
has really lost faith. I mean, I was talking to
a friend about this this morning, and they were saying
that they don't understand why everyone is so said at
FBI agents, And I said, but it isn't so much
the break and file FBI agents, it's the leadership. And
(26:16):
I said, here's a good example. Uh if Ferguson Missouri
with uh, you know, a young man got shot.
Speaker 12 (26:23):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
They said he was unarmed, the cop shot him at
the back of The autopsy report came out said that
the cop was a good shot, that the shots were
all out in front of it, and that he was
obviously running at the top with his arms. So they
tried to attack the cop, and the cop was defending
himself right when that happened, and everyone on the left
was so bad at police. Then Eric Holder Obama's Justice
(26:47):
Department decided to send forty FBI agents to just go
through and do their own investigation, which amounted to them
going through everything possible about this police force and just
finding every part pssible. Say, well, well, I could tell
you if you set forty SPI agents into any business
or into the organization, they're going to find some mistakes
(27:09):
that people made, right, because even beings make mistakes. So
these are the kind of politicization of these agencies and
of the justice systems that people are doubtful about it.
It's sad to be, but we are at a place
where with someone gets indicted who is challenging the status
quo against the Democratic Party, you have to wonder maybe
(27:33):
it's true, right, maybe he wasn't guided only for those reasons.
I don't know in this particular case, but I will
say that overall, people have every every logical reason to
wonder about that.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
People have thought the same exact thing about Henry Quaar.
Henry Quayar is a Democrat, again considered to be somewhat
of a moderate Democrat by Democrat standards, border a lawmaker
in Texas from the border.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Oddly enough, very popular.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
With Republicans, probably because I don't know how many people
realize this. He used to be Governor Perry's secretary of State.
The charges against him look almost exactly the same. And again,
the fact that he criticized Joe Biden for his border
policies really seems to mirror the situation with Harrik Adams. Again,
I understand it's just speculation, but do you think that
could be a coincidence or do you think there's something
(28:25):
to it.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
No, so so in the Quaar case is interesting because
I was actually investigating him as much as I could.
I just couldn't prove anything enough to write it. But
most of my governmental sources in Mexico have claimed that
every time they were going to do something with Quaar,
that they would get a call and someone would say, hey, said,
(28:48):
you know X about X thousands usually five thousand to
you know so and so if he wanted to keep
doing this with with with Henry, and they've made those
I could never validate him. But I can tell you
that most of my sources in Mexico who are good
amitted women, have felt like Henry Quaar was dirty because
(29:10):
of that. But I could never prove it enough to
write about it. But I can tell you that they
say it right. Some people say.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
So.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
In that case, I think, I think my personal opinion
as there might be actual legitimacy to what he's charged with,
but I can't prove that it. I don't know that
for certainly.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
All right, before we get out of here, it's something
i'd love to get your opinion on the Mexican president is.
Surprisingly it's a woman named Claudia Shinbaum. That's not what
you think the Mexican president's name would be if you
didn't know anything about Mexico. But she is so mad
right now. She is furious at Google. Well, what did
Google do wrong? Google changed the name of the Gulf
(29:51):
of Mexico to the Gulf of America. So now she's
suing the government. That Mexico president has announced that she
and her staff are going to sue Google for refusing
to change the Gulf of America back to the Gulf
of Mexico. You're not a lawyer in Mexico, I don't
you know. I don't think anybody listening to this conversation is.
But I can't really imagine if their laws look anything
(30:12):
like ours, what would be the legal grounds for this.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Is this entirely for show.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
It's entirely for show, absolutely so. In Mexico, as most
people know, if you can pay money to the right people,
you pretty much get whatever you want. Everything is for
sale there. That's not a good thing, but that's the
way that it is. You know, most of the shoreline
of the Gulf of Mexico are US states, US states
(30:41):
that were never you know, that were never part of
Mexico at any point during history, So I'm okay with it.
I like Gulf of America. I think it should really
be the Golf of Texas, so that they should have
Golf of America the works. There should be two different names.
I think it should be the Golf of Texas personally.
But you know, what do I do?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know, I don't know if you know this, bringing
but some people go down to Mexico so they can
buy things like vico in and oxy cotton and Viagara
at discount rates. Pretty soon we might have to go
down there to get seed oils unless you got a
black market seed oil guy I could buy from.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Do you know anybody?
Speaker 7 (31:19):
I don't know anybody, but I don't. I'm not really
worried about seed oil. I think I think I've googled
that extensively, and I just don't. I think it's a
fat and I don't. I don't think it's that big
of a deal.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Have you used bee? But you you seem like the
kind of guy that would cook with beef. What do
they call it? Beef tallow. I've tried it. It's delicious.
Any thoughts of have you tried it? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:41):
I usually cook with. I mean, I've raised animals and
I have them slaughtered, so I usually, you know, render
fat from beef and and that's usually what I do.
Depends on what I'm making. When I make fries or
fried potatoes, I usually use beef tallow. You know a
lot of things I say baked green. Sorry for a while,
(32:01):
I you know, I make a lot of bacon at home.
I cure a lot of bacon. I used to raise pork,
but I don't be longer because it's just simpler to
buying port Belly's at Costco. But but I cure my
own bacon and smoke my own bacon, and uh so
I have a lot of bacon grease that did? It
just depends what I'm bacon.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
That does sound delicious.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
It's also my understanding since you you know, this new
administration kicked in Breitbart and Breitbart Texas and the Cartel
Chronicles have been getting so much exposure. They're actually talking
about making a Cartel Chronicles movie, and they were gonna
have Kanye West play the part of Brandon Darby.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Is that accurate that casting news?
Speaker 7 (32:41):
I think what they were gonna do is have Kanye
play the part of the neo Nazi groups. I used
to work under cover.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah that's right, you did do that. You did?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
He was an FBI in formant. I know that sounds crazy.
Brady Darby is a great journalist. Follow him on X
check out bright Bart Texas and the Cartel Chronicles.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Some radio shows are show hot. They'll literally burn your eyes. Fortunately,
this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
I feel like I never listening to you all again.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Pursuit of Happiness radio.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
The auto industry hasn't been rocked like this since a
straight woman bought a Subaru. I tell you, it's crazy. Guys,
it's nuts out there. Welcome back. We don't have a
lot of time left. But there's a guy here in
the studio right now. I invited him in. And over
the past week, I've had at least a couple of
different people threatened to sue me, and one of them
it doesn't matter who, but it was things I said
on the radio and things I said on social media
(33:37):
that upset people that weren't inaccurate. You can't you could
sue anyone for anything. That's what a lot of people
don't understand. But you won't win a defamation suit if
what you're being sued for, is true. And I won't
even say what her name is. If you follow me
on x or social media, you already know one of
Dan Crenshaw's primary opponents is a very sketchy, weird woman
who uses a fake photo and a fake name on
(33:59):
so social media. Her FEC records have her listed as
living outside of district too.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
She don't live there. She's got a California area code.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
She promotes a fake charity with a weird name that
doesn't really seem to exist, and when you ask her
what the charity does, she says they protect victims of doxing,
which just weirdly coincidentally, is the thing she accuses anyone
of doing if they ask about why it seems like
she doesn't live in Texas. We can't find any proof
that you've ever voted in Texas before. And one of
the things she's accused me of because I criticize her,
(34:31):
is being funded and working for a giant hedge fund
while also working for Congressman Dan Crenshaw, a guy who
does not really seem to like yours truly, who I've
been very critical of over the years. So in the
studio right now, Besides being one of the leaders of
the Texas Young Republican Group, you are also a staff
member of Dan Crenshaw. Matt, Matt, Matt Wilsher is here.
(34:52):
Matt is my friend of me.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I love Matt.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I don't agree with him on foreign policy stuff. He
knows I don't like Dan Crenshaw, even though you work
for Dan. Come to the local political stuff. This, this
thing where local people get obsessed with national politics is
part of the reason why Republicans lose, Matt, because you
and I understand that we don't. We may not agree
on Israel or Ukraine or whatever, but you and I
both see eye to eye on the fact that if
conservatives and right wingers and populists and nationalists and libertarians
(35:19):
and Harris County can't work together.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
Then we're gonna keep Lena Hidalgo he and we're gonna
keep getting terrible Democrat politicians running running Houston, running other
major cities around the country. If we cannot come together
when it really matters, that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
As much as I don't like the war in Ukraine,
I can tell you there's enough people on my side
on your side here in Houston that have blocked each
other on Twitter because of Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
And that's the reason why we have bail reform.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
But so what we're what we're dealing with here is
that we're watching this new breed of politician, of just
grifter politician, right people coming in. They have no business running,
they have no they have no reason to run against
Dan Crenshaw. Dan Crenshaw is a conservative member of Congress
(36:05):
who does is in line with everything that Donald Trump
wants and is supporting everything that Donald Trump is doing,
and has supported his foreign policy, has supported his his
positions on Mexico, has supported his positions on energy, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. But go on, Okay, but that's
if you're going to base everything, throw out entirely an
(36:28):
entire branch of politicians because of.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Three hours of one thing. I get it, that's that's absurd.
Get but his person.
Speaker 8 (36:36):
But what we're finding is a whole bunch of people
that they are starting to run against famous politicians because
it can make them money.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
And I want to talk about that because there's a
really interesting thing happening here.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
As you know, you and I I agree with about
half away.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
You just said, I want somebody who shares my principles,
lives in District two, has a squeaky clean history, is
locally involved in local actually involved in local politics, known
by people around here, and has resources to primary Dan Crenshaw.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
The problem with that is that, but why do you
want someone to primary Dan Crenshaw because of January sixth?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
That's absurd because I want it to be a Ron
Paul guy.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I want it. I don't want a neo Khan. I
want a guy who looks more like me politically. But
that's all that being said, I do agree with.
Speaker 8 (37:20):
But I want to ask you this, So if Donald
Trump were to run for Congress in this district, you
would say no.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
If Donald Trump were to run for Congress, I mean,
that would be crazy.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
That's a weird guy. But I'm not going to answer
hypothetical questions. Let's take a clone of Donald Trump, because
that is.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I want a guy like Thomas Massey. I want a
guy like Lesley Hunt. I want a guy you know
what I mean. But that being said, I don't want
a grifter. The problem with Dan Crenshaw is I'd rather
have a neo Khan who I don't exactly agree with
than have somebody that's a scam artist that's lying to us.
I don't like Dan Crenshaw's politics, right, I don't like
this foreign policy world police thing. But what I don't
like even more than that, Matt, is something you'd probably
(37:56):
agree with. People that suck up all the oxygen in
the room, who are pre tending to run for Congress
when in fact they're really just trying to get clout
from social media and they're trying to get people to
donate to them. We have two of those people right
now pretending to challenge Dan Crenshaw one of them.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
They're actually three at this point, but yeah, I mean
there are. The fact is is that Dan Crenshaw is
one of the most famous politicians in the country, and
because of that, people that have no business running are
running against him based on just they want to make
a name for themselves and they have no reason to
run against him. They have they're unable to articulate reasons
(38:33):
to run against him. That at best, they're going to
say something like I think that he's not maga enough,
which is absurd.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Okay, this to that he is also kind of an
arrogant prick. I've met him. I think that that is
a you're putting me in a weird position to you're
not agree with that.
Speaker 8 (38:52):
I don't agree with that, but I don't. But I
also think that that is irrelevant to whether or not
a person. Have you met other politicians at all, Paul,
pliticians have confidence in themselves that can border on But.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
That's no.
Speaker 8 (39:06):
There are a lot of politicians who will, uh, who
will fight for your attention instead of fighting for you.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
But wouldn't it be great if the congressman from District
two wasn't a guy that's seen on video saying Jesus
is fictional?
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Wouldn't that exact? That's not what he said, Kenny. You
know that's not what he said, but what he You
and I we both You went to Catholic school, right.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
We're you and I are going to Catholic church. We're
going to Mass right after that.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I do not agree on a lot of political stuff,
but we do agree on Catholic God.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
But here's my point.
Speaker 8 (39:35):
This is, Kenny, I love you so much, but when
you say things that are just blatantly untrue on the radio,
it makes me feel upset about this. The fact is
is that what Dan Crenshaw said is that is that
super Superman, Why Jesus archetype?
Speaker 2 (39:51):
It's so easy to find this sound bite. This is
one of the most circulated soundbites on Twitter.
Speaker 13 (39:56):
So that's important. That's important. Thing is is that we
have societal hero archetypes that we look up to. Jesus
is a is a hero archetype. Superman is a hero archetype.
Real characters too.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
You know, real characters too. The people he just said
are you.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
First off, no one denies and and Dane Crenshaw does
not deny the existence of Jesus or that he is
our god. So you know the fact that Michael, you know,
if you take, if you take, if you take a
word that might have been one wrong word. So what
are you going to tell me that that Romney wanted
to put women in binders because he said binders full
(40:36):
of women instead of binders full of women's resumes. This
is exactly the problem with Kenny, when you're taking these
quotes and you're like, we're going to take them so
literally that it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
You know, you're a smart guy, and I don't know.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
What he is saying is that is that Superman is
a modern archetype of the story that we use that
that Jesus exact amplify.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I will agree that people over focus on that sound bite,
but also it's funny to listen to him say it
because it sounds bad. But let's find let's find common
ground here, let's find common ground here. God exists. Yes,
Jesus is the son of God. Yes, Saint Michael is
the coolest saint. Sure, easily the colest. Come on, dude,
that's the prayer we read during exorcism.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
You and I may disagree on Dan Crenshaw, but we're
both equally concerned about grifting politicians, Yes, sucking up all
the oxygen in the room, making it so that to
some effect, a primary with decent candidates is becoming impossible
in this country because now you have people on social
media using that as a way for them to get
clout in money, so that if an actual primary took place,
(41:44):
nobody would even pay attention.
Speaker 8 (41:45):
The whole point is so that people are unable to
understand who a real candidate is, et cetera. They're capitalizing
on the fact that social media makes it very difficult
to parse the truth. And you know, frankly, just like
what you just did, Kenny and I hate to say this,
but by but by essentially.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I said, I think people over focus on that sound
I take just going about you.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
But you brought it up for a reason, and I
think that in part the reason that these drifters are
coming around is because you're giving them oxygen in a way.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Well, there's something to be said about that. But we
have to break here. We have to run real quick
before we get out of here. Can you just explain
to me why do you want to lower the age
of consent? That's so important to you?
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Why is that it is not? I'm Keddy Webster.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I want to thank my buddy Matt will Schier for
being a good sport, even if he is a neo
khon world police, multi military industrial complex, globalist show.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
I still love you, Matt. And and he's a Catholic
and that's more important. And I love you, you dirty hippie.
Speaker 11 (42:39):
All right, you are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
Speaker 7 (43:00):
Do you know you have
Jack ganon government sucks. The suit of happing is radio
is DeLux. Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A
suit of habing and us on your radio to Hel's
just as Cheeseburgers Living it rise at.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Today is Valentine's Day. This is a courtesy announcement for
all the husbands who forgot.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I know it's easy to forget, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'm fantasized about taking my Valentine to a tropical location,
you know, maybe somewhere along the Gulf of America. Thanks
so much for turning on your radio today, Big show
this afternoon. Michael quinn Sullivan will be stopping by in
just a little bit. He's the creator of Texas scorecard
dot com. He has destroyed the political careers of a
handful of people that probably most of you wouldn't even like. Also,
(00:52):
Brandon Darby stopping by Bray Part Texas. There's this thing
happening right now with Tom Homan that your borders are
and Mayor Eric Adams of New York City. It involves
illegal immigrants, it involves federal investigators, and involves Donald Trump,
and weirdly enough, it involves border security. So we're going
to get to all of that. Soon we'll talk about it.
(01:12):
And this, I think is interesting. I'd love to start
off the show with this today just moments ago, well
it wasn't just moments goes twenty four hours ago. RFK Junior,
Cheryl Hines, you know, the actress from Kirby Your Enthusiasm,
stood together in the Oval office in front of Donald
Trump's what do they call it, the Resolute desk, and
(01:34):
for the first time ever, the guy that's in charge
of the Department of Health and Human Services. He's not
a big pharmacy show. He's not necessarily even a medical doctor.
In fact, he's a critic of the pharmaceutical the healthcare industry,
even the food industry.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
His name is RFK Junior.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And oddly enough, as much as MSNBC and everybody wants
you to be terrified of this guy, way back in
two thousand and five years ago, he was a guest
on morning show MSNBC's Joe Scarborough welcomed him as a
guest and embraced his opinion.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
My son, born in nineteen ninety one, has a slight
form of autism called Asperger's but it seemed and again.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
When I was fraxing law.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And also when I was in Congress, parents would constantly
come to me and they'd bring me videotapes to their children,
and they were all around the age of my son
are younger. The generation happened in nineteen eighty nine exactly
the generation.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
What happened was the vaccine schedule was increased. We went
up from receiving about ten vaccines in our generation to
these kids received twenty four vaccines. And they all had
this time, Arisol and Missus Mercury and nobody fathered to
do an analysis of what the kino, the impact of
all that mercury was doing to kids. As it turns out,
(02:52):
we are.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm not going to make you listen to a twenty
year old segment I'm MSNBC because you know what a
FK junior is going to say. What's weird, isn't is
not the fact that they agreed with him. Then, it's
the fact that they don't agree with them.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Now, I don't agree with our FK junior on everything
involving vaccines or healthcare, drugs, or food or anything. But
I will tell you this, when you walk around America
right now, there's more gyms than ever before. There's more
health food grocery stores than ever before, there's more vitamin
supplements with a promo code that you can order online
(03:26):
than ever before. And yet somehow, oddly, when you see
photos of people from Galveston Beach in the nineteen sixties
and seventies, everybody's skinny and today everybody's fat. I don't
know what we're doing wrong, but clearly we're doing something
wrong because everywhere you go nowadays, people are sick and
they're overweight, and there's something wrong with them. Right, So
maybe bringing some guy in that wants to do things
(03:47):
a little bit differently than what we're currently doing, which
clearly isn't working, isn't the craziest thing I've ever heard,
especially when you consider that guys like Joe Scarborough or
even Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, toured around the
state of California in twenty nineteen, a year before the
pandemic with RFK Junior telling people he was against vaccine.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Mandates for kids.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
With me right now is staunch anti vaccine advocate Matthew
will Scheier, I'm single leader with the Young Republicans. Also
for the record, as staff member of the Daniel Crenshaw
campaign technically making you my friend of me, Matt. I
want to make something, Clairett. Matt's in the studio right now.
I love Matt. Matt's my buddy. I don't agree. I
don't agree with you on national political stuff I do
(04:31):
for foreign policy stuff, I don't agree with you on
I don't agree with Dan Crenshaw on that he's your friend.
I've been critical of him on the air. People ask
why am I friends with you, Matt? And it has
nothing to do with RFK Junior. You're not an anti vaxer.
When it comes to local political issues. Harris County, Houston, Texas,
Libertarians and neil cons need to work together. And also,
(04:52):
I don't get why you hate vaccines so much.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I don't ate vaccines.
Speaker 8 (04:56):
I think that, you know, I think that they're actually
very good for for the you know, our general health
is being able to fend off diseases. You know, obviously, Kenny,
you and I disagree on things like foreign policy. And
you know you disagree with Congress and Crenshaw on foreign policy.
But I guess that also means that you disagree with
Donald Trump on foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
So we can talk about that. Later in the show.
I do disagree with Trump on something, and I think
taking that's fine.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
But Dan Crenshaw and Donald Trump, they're pretty much in
lockstep on foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
They're making our enemies pay for being our enemies.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I mean, I don't disagree with that, but I do
think that turning the Gaza Strip into a golf resort
is probably not in the best interesting.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Hey, if out of the four different places that we
might be taken over, Canada, Greenland, Panama or Gaza, I
think that putting up a Trump tower in Gaza sounds
frankly just you know, like the biggest America middle finger possible.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I mean, the odd Here's the complicated thing about Israel,
because you know, I don't I do not like regime
change politics. I do not like West the thought of
westernizing the Mid East or whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It never works.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, the examples of Niger I can
go on, and which, by the way, is how you
pronounce that you've been saying it wrong. The examples go
on and on and on and on. The one place
in the Mid East, the one single place in the
Mead East where our regime change politics have worked over
the last half a century. It's not Iran, sadly, it's Israel.
(06:26):
It pains me to admit that out. Israel is the
one place where Western political regime change politics have actually worked.
It's the one place in the Mid East where we've
got democratic values, egalitarianism, gay rights, you know, as much
as I obviously don't care about that. But for the record,
you be gay in Israel, can't be gay in Gaza.
Have you never understood why liberals are so pro Gaza
(06:48):
and anti Israel?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
But well, because they view themselves as always being part
of the you know, supporting the underdog, and in their mind,
the Palestinians are the underdog. And that's a it's a
total mystery. It's it's an application of of left wing,
left wing values in the United States to foreign affairs.
And it doesn't make any sense because because Muslims are
(07:12):
a minority in the United States, well then they're the
minority and the underdog in the Middle East, which is absurd.
Now it's absurd.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
What what's the Jewish population of of Saudi Arabia zero? Zero?
Speaker 8 (07:24):
What's the Jewish population of of Libya zero?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Manah?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I mean because they were all expelled the Jews of
these countries were expelled when Israel was created, and now
in Israel is used as a foil by by Middle
Eastern countries, tou to be an enemy that they can
yell about to their people, while uh while being perfectly
(07:49):
happy that there's actually a stable country there that is
that is taking all the heat.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
The thing that is remarkable about this administration because you're
not a maga populist, you're a neocon, and you admit
that out loud.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Yeah, but I'm very happy with the things that I've
been seeing. I think, I frankly, I think that Donald
Trump has been significantly more aligned with the strong foreign
policy of my foreign policy.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He's through strength, yeah, of peace through strength. But here's
why that's a populous think about this. I'm a liberty Republican. Right,
I've got Elon musk Rand and Ron Paul are involved
in this thing, Right, Ron Paul's involved.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Vivek Ramaswami obviously a liberty Republican. I'm not a neo Kon.
But our new Secretary of State is Marco Rubio. In fact,
he's the only guy I think that got all ninety
nine votes. Weirdly, the neo con in the administration was
the least controversial.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
And because everyone knew that he was, there was no
question about his competence. There's no question about his background
or his ability to do the job.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I think it's because he's friends with all the other
Senators and he's bottom cocktails before.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
I mean, I think that that is part of the
job of being Let's be real, part of that job
of being a member of Congress is working with other
members of Congress. If you're a jerk and no one
wants to work with you, you're doing your state of disservice.
And Marco Rubio has gone and been a He's been
(09:12):
the voice on foreign affairs, and becoming Secretary of State
was the natural thing.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But isn't it kind of amazing that Neil Kahn, Marco Rubio, libertarian,
Ron Paul and Elon Musk liberal wacky you know, granola
liberal Rfk junior. This is the most ideologically diverse administration
we've ever seen in our life, maybe ever in American history.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Donald Trump brought them all together. It doesn't seem very
hitler to me.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
No. I think that when the left says stuff like that,
they're just its it's it's catn it for their base.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Have you changed Trump over the past, you know, because
I know you've voted for Kamala.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
I did not vote for Kamala. I did not vote
for Kamala. Look, I've been critical of Trump be because
I you know, I think that we need to hold
our own accountable when they are advocating for left wing things.
And but that is I think that Donald Trump has
done an amazing job in this first month, and I
think that we are so lucky we are seeing the
(10:16):
resurgence of America. He's making America healthy again. He's making
America great again. And I gotta say, just based on
the people that he's hiring, he's making America hot again.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, And like that was that was it?
Speaker 8 (10:28):
The the New Yorker article you know about you know,
taking the photograph and calling it like the cruel kids table.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But what it was was the hot kids table. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They took on photo of all these young Republicans, white, black,
Hispanic whatever, photoshopped and edited out all the black kids, right,
so it was just a table of really attractive white kids.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And then they thought that somehow, somehow that's a slam dunk,
a photo.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Of young attractive people having fun was going to make
Republicans look bad. You know, the craziest thing you did
of all the stuff you did, this new executive order
saying that any chick that doesn't put out on Valentine's
Day has to pay for her own oysters.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I thought that was crazy.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Our doctor told us the pills we took were just
a placebo, but he must not know what he's talking about, because, man,
those suckers worked. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It is Valentine's Day weekend, it is President's Day weekend,
and it's also apparently did you guys know, I didn't
know this this weekend, America acknowledges National Impotence Day so
the Kansas City Chiefs could celebrate too.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I think that is fantastic. Thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Returning on your radio, everybody. I have noticed things are
happening around the country, and they're happening rapidly. I've never
had and I say this all a bit reluctantly because
I you really you hate to jinx it, but during
my lifetime, and I'm a middle aged man, I'm in
my early forties, as you know, I can never remember
a time in this country when I have been as
(11:56):
happy with what my government is doing. I've never thought
I could not stand the George W. Bush administration. I
was a staunch libertarian in my early twenties. Honestly still am.
I'm still a liberty Republican. We've never had an administration
as libertarian is what we have right now. What DOGE
is doing, this discussion of auditing the IRS or auditing
(12:16):
the FED, the consideration Ron Paul is being discussed as
a serious person to step in and audit the FED.
Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, has openly repeated many
times that he wants to do that. Ron Paul said
he would participate. It's incredible. Have you looked at the
DOGE clock. There's a clock online very similar to the
National Debt clock, although this one will actually make you happy.
(12:39):
Instead of telling you how much money the government spending,
it tells you how much money DOGE has saved you.
It's in the tens of billions of dollars. It's a
lot of money at this point. And then equally is
interesting is the fact that the clock will eventually end.
The National Dead clock never ends. This clock ends July fourth,
twenty twenty six here in the Houston area.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
This I find fascinating as well.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Brandon Gill is a congressman from Texas who also happens
to be the son in law of Dinesh Desuza, a
frequent guest on our morning show. And Brandon Gill was
talking during the Doge subcommittee hearing this week, and the
lawmaker from North Texas defended the newly established Department of
Government Efficiency in a way that you would not expect
(13:24):
a freshman lawmaker to explain it, rather than me explaining
it to you a good friend. I'm very proud to
be friends with this guy and have him as a
weekly contributor to this radio show. The creator of Texas
scorecard dot com, arguably the most dangerous man in Texas
political media, Michael Quinn Sullivan, I know that you see.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Eye to eye with me on this. How great is Doge? Oh?
Speaker 10 (13:46):
You know it is a absolute breath of fresh air.
And look for someone like me, I'm a journalist. I
just I like to see things that go on. I
like more sunlightd I like having more open windows, more
open door on government. And for a long time we
knew there were problems, right, you know the I'm sure
(14:06):
you remember the old movie Independence Day and they go to
the secret Area fifty one and the president is a
gas how do you fund some of this stuff? And
you've got the character who says, what you think they
really spent twenty thousand dollars on a hammer? You know,
that is precisely what a lot of us have seen
when you watch that debt clock and the number biggeran going,
what the blazes are they spending this money on? But
(14:29):
we could never know, We could never know. They wouldn't
let us. You could ask as many questions you wanted
and you couldn't and they would never tell you. And
thanks to Elon Musk, thanks to Donald Trump thinks to
you know, kind of this whole host of folks been
a pointed into the cabinet and the sub cabinet positions.
We are finding out exactly why we have a thirty
six trillion dollar debt, and it's because we have been
(14:54):
letting the federal government fund the BBC. We've been letting
you know, you know, the BBC, that's the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
We've been sending them money.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
We've been you know, propping up Reiters, We've been propping
up Politico, We've been propping up all of these left
wing media operations. And then you take a look at
all these people who have been working, you know, an
hour a week, two hours a week, three hours a week,
remotely making eighty ninety hundred hundred and fifty two hundred
(15:26):
thousand dollars a year. It's absolutely insane that that's been
allowed to go on. But it has been allowed to
go on, and those is coming in shining a light
on it and watching these people scurry like the cockroaches
they are is glorious. It is truly the happiest time
of my life politically.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I mean honestly, Michael, from your mouth to God's ears,
I feel this exact same time, And since it is
Valentine's Day weekend after all, I feel like I. You know,
love is in the air. We can smell it, we
can we can sense it, we can feel it. As
a red blooded head American man, heteronormative cis gendered. Of course,
there are very few things I enjoy as much as
the love of a good woman. But I will tell
(16:04):
you one thing I do, one thing I do appreciate
in ways I never thought I could describe before. Is
hearing the President of the United States say we're going
to audit the IRS. O.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
The workers arrived today, Kevin Klegger and others arrived today
at the IRS. Do you expect to close the IRS
or what are you expecting?
Speaker 12 (16:22):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I don't expect it. Yeah, but I think so.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I think that the Internal Revenue Service will be.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Looked at like everybody. El's just about everybody's going to
be looked at.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
So it's you know, they go up and they talk
to some of the people about certain deals, and the
people get all tongue tied.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
They can't talk because these people get it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
They're very small positive pausit right here, Michael quinn Sullivan,
I'm so old. Thank you, invisible person in the back
of the room.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I am so old.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I can remember the twenty thirteen IRS tea party scandal,
in which the IRS stood at a in a courtroom
the head of the eye.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
These people's plugs a fifth.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
They wouldn't explain to us whether or not they were
bullying Judeo Christian nonprofit groups and tea party groups. I
can't remember a time that the IRS could do anything
that they wanted, they couldn't get into trouble even when
we knew they were doing something wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Michael, does this blow your mind or what? Oh?
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Well, I mean, you know, you let off talking about
this with Valentine's Day. I would say it's more important.
This is happening on President's Day, where finally, for the
first time in our lives, can you I mean, I'm
I'm fifty five years old, little you know, fifteen years
older than you, but you know, this is the first
time in life we have had a president of the
(17:40):
United States who is taking seriously his job as the
executive as the as the chief executive officer of the
United States of America, and is going through and asking
some really fundamental questions, like, you know, the Internal Revenue
Service House it being run, Is it being run to
our benefit or detriment? How are they spending the money
(18:03):
that they were given to collective money from us?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Are they doing the most efficient and effective job possible?
All these kind of very basic questions, And you have
to say, what the blazes have the previous you know,
forty some odd presidents been doing that. They allowed this too,
many of them.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Can he got elected because they wanted to be called
mister president. Two of them got elected because they wanted
to live in you know, fancy government housing in Washington,
d C. And they, you know, wanted to have a
steady supply of mistresses like John F. Kenny Jr. John Kennedy.
But you know, finally we have a president who for
(18:40):
whom being President United States is a step down. Yeah, financially,
step down. Socially for him to be the President United States.
They step down and he's doing the job. Thank goodness
for Donald Trump. That's all I can say.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
My brother, I completely agree. We can't talk about dog
without talking about Elon Musk. And something that Donald Trump
is repeated more than once is that Elon Musk will
not be involved in auditing, investigating, or cutting funding to
any part of our federal government that's a conflict of
interest to him, Meaning it doesn't look like he's going
to go pick around NASA for example, or you know,
(19:19):
things connected to that, right, And that's fine. In fact,
to this point in time, I think the money we
spend at NASA is just a drop in the bucket
compared to how much we send to places like Ukraine.
But all that being said, I love our space program.
I think it's fascinating. It's one of the least libertarian
things about me as a liberty Republican.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I think NASA is cool.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I think outer space is cool, and I love the
fact that SpaceX is home based. Star Base is about
to become here in Texas, in official city.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Can you give us the details on this yet.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Really cool soon? Under under state law, there's a process
by which cities can read probably process but she's become
incorporated doesn't have very often, but a group of people say, hey,
you know, we live out in the country, we want
to be a city. Certain things they have to do,
processes they have to follow, and there's also a way
in which cities can rename themselves and it requires a
(20:13):
vote to requires various notices and all those kind of things,
and you know, in some ways this is this is
kind of like a lot of stuff where everyone kind
of thought it was a joke a while back, but
but it's no longer a joke that we're going to
have Star based Texas prison. There's going to be a
vote in Cameron County, that's where SpaceX is located, and
they're going to be incorporating the city there as Star
(20:36):
Base Texas and that's pretty cool from a you know one.
It's good branding obviously for Musk, but it goes to
I think the fact that at least in some parts
of Texas, we have people who recognize that maybe we
need to be about the business of serving the people
of Texas and it includes are good corporate citizens like
(20:57):
Elon Musk and SpaceX and and help them achieve their
goals rather than being you know, the the nanny staters
wagging their fingers, you know as killed Joys. This is
something fun, This is something fun, and I think that
too often people on the left, on the right of
the oldest you can't have fun when you're doing public policy.
(21:18):
You can't have fun in the government. No, we'll all
be down and dour and upset and you have to
be you know, the cosmic killed Joys and everything else.
And instead, thank goodness for Cameron County Judge Eddie Coravinio Junior,
who said, you know what, we're going to move forward
to this and there's going to be an election there
in Cameron County a little later the spring to name
(21:40):
the city starbas pretty cool stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I love it. I think it's cool, and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It seems like a neat destination for spring break, although
it'd probably be a little bit difference in South Pydre Island.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Michael, you know what else is fun for me?
Speaker 10 (21:53):
It will be it will be the designated spot for
all nerds to spend their spring break. You will have
you'll have all the mechanical engineering majors, ald aerospace engineers
will all be there with their protractors and you know
whatever else they have.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You know, any you're not worth that smart, but yeah,
they'll know that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It'll be great and not as salacious as the Star
Wars burlesque tour that's heading around Texas right now.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I'm told I keep seeing ads for that everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
They're not paying me, by the way, but you know what,
you know what, I don't pay for the Houston Comical.
I don't pay for the Dallas Morning Snows or the
Austin Statesman or the Texas Tribune. I like getting my

Live from the Border it's Bright. Bart's Brandon Darby with
the Cartel Chronicles only on KPRC Radio. Brandon, Brandon, will
you be reading to your girlfriend today? Will I be
reading to her?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
Probably not?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
It's okay, Hey, all right, Brandon Darby is here right now.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Brandon has been covering the border since before anybody cared
about the border. He's been doing this radio show for
over a year. I've explained this to people many times.
His insight into this is vastly beyond what most people understand.
There was a time, like a decade ago where Brandon Darby,
believe it or not, was critical of Tom Holman back
when he was part of the Barack Obama administration. Is crazy,
(24:29):
and he's explained before that a lot's changed since then. Brandy,
Let's start out with this. Tom Holman is in New
York City today with Mayor Eric Adams, and the two
of them are talking about publicly speaking out to the
media about all the problems with what's going on with
our border, the broken immigration system, both of them obviously
blaming the Biden administration. Now Donald Trump has stepped in
(24:50):
and pointed out these charges against Eric Adams only existed
in Trump's opinion because of the fact that Eric Adams,
a somewhat moderate Democrat by New York City's was critical
of Joe Biden's border policies and immigration policies. And now
these federal prosecutors, I guess they're all stepping down, resigning.
We're supposed to be mad about that. Do you agree
(25:11):
with Trump? And how do you feel about these people
stepping down?
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Well, first off, anytimes someone doesn't agree with something they're
asked to do that they step down. I mean, that's
to be an honorable thing. Uh. You know, I don't
know enough about about the charges. I know what what
is publicly available about them doesn't sound good. Is it
possible that they only indicted it because he was critical
(25:38):
of the border. It's very possible. I just don't know.
Is it likely that there's some barrat to the charges. Probably?
Is it also likely that there's sperrit to his charges
that that that most mayors of New York City and
others have not done the same. That's possible too.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
It does seem to me, you know, we're in a
in a stage where of our nation's history where everyone
has really lost faith. I mean, I was talking to
a friend about this this morning, and they were saying
that they don't understand why everyone is so said at
FBI agents, And I said, but it isn't so much
the break and file FBI agents, it's the leadership. And
(26:16):
I said, here's a good example. Uh if Ferguson Missouri
with uh, you know, a young man got shot.
Speaker 12 (26:23):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
They said he was unarmed, the cop shot him at
the back of The autopsy report came out said that
the cop was a good shot, that the shots were
all out in front of it, and that he was
obviously running at the top with his arms. So they
tried to attack the cop, and the cop was defending
himself right when that happened, and everyone on the left
was so bad at police. Then Eric Holder Obama's Justice
(26:47):
Department decided to send forty FBI agents to just go
through and do their own investigation, which amounted to them
going through everything possible about this police force and just
finding every part pssible. Say, well, well, I could tell
you if you set forty SPI agents into any business
or into the organization, they're going to find some mistakes
(27:09):
that people made, right, because even beings make mistakes. So
these are the kind of politicization of these agencies and
of the justice systems that people are doubtful about it.
It's sad to be, but we are at a place
where with someone gets indicted who is challenging the status
quo against the Democratic Party, you have to wonder maybe
(27:33):
it's true, right, maybe he wasn't guided only for those reasons.
I don't know in this particular case, but I will
say that overall, people have every every logical reason to
wonder about that.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
People have thought the same exact thing about Henry Quaar.
Henry Quayar is a Democrat, again considered to be somewhat
of a moderate Democrat by Democrat standards, border a lawmaker
in Texas from the border.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Oddly enough, very popular.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
With Republicans, probably because I don't know how many people
realize this. He used to be Governor Perry's secretary of State.
The charges against him look almost exactly the same. And again,
the fact that he criticized Joe Biden for his border
policies really seems to mirror the situation with Harrik Adams. Again,
I understand it's just speculation, but do you think that
could be a coincidence or do you think there's something
(28:25):
to it.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
No, so so in the Quaar case is interesting because
I was actually investigating him as much as I could.
I just couldn't prove anything enough to write it. But
most of my governmental sources in Mexico have claimed that
every time they were going to do something with Quaar,
that they would get a call and someone would say, hey, said,
(28:48):
you know X about X thousands usually five thousand to
you know so and so if he wanted to keep
doing this with with with Henry, and they've made those
I could never validate him. But I can tell you
that most of my sources in Mexico who are good
amitted women, have felt like Henry Quaar was dirty because
(29:10):
of that. But I could never prove it enough to
write about it. But I can tell you that they
say it right. Some people say.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
So.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
In that case, I think, I think my personal opinion
as there might be actual legitimacy to what he's charged with,
but I can't prove that it. I don't know that
for certainly.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
All right, before we get out of here, it's something
i'd love to get your opinion on the Mexican president is.
Surprisingly it's a woman named Claudia Shinbaum. That's not what
you think the Mexican president's name would be if you
didn't know anything about Mexico. But she is so mad
right now. She is furious at Google. Well, what did
Google do wrong? Google changed the name of the Gulf
(29:51):
of Mexico to the Gulf of America. So now she's
suing the government. That Mexico president has announced that she
and her staff are going to sue Google for refusing
to change the Gulf of America back to the Gulf
of Mexico. You're not a lawyer in Mexico, I don't
you know. I don't think anybody listening to this conversation is.
But I can't really imagine if their laws look anything
(30:12):
like ours, what would be the legal grounds for this.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Is this entirely for show.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
It's entirely for show, absolutely so. In Mexico, as most
people know, if you can pay money to the right people,
you pretty much get whatever you want. Everything is for
sale there. That's not a good thing, but that's the
way that it is. You know, most of the shoreline
of the Gulf of Mexico are US states, US states
(30:41):
that were never you know, that were never part of
Mexico at any point during history, So I'm okay with it.
I like Gulf of America. I think it should really
be the Golf of Texas, so that they should have
Golf of America the works. There should be two different names.
I think it should be the Golf of Texas personally.
But you know, what do I do?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know, I don't know if you know this, bringing
but some people go down to Mexico so they can
buy things like vico in and oxy cotton and Viagara
at discount rates. Pretty soon we might have to go
down there to get seed oils unless you got a
black market seed oil guy I could buy from.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Do you know anybody?
Speaker 7 (31:19):
I don't know anybody, but I don't. I'm not really
worried about seed oil. I think I think I've googled
that extensively, and I just don't. I think it's a
fat and I don't. I don't think it's that big
of a deal.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Have you used bee? But you you seem like the
kind of guy that would cook with beef. What do
they call it? Beef tallow. I've tried it. It's delicious.
Any thoughts of have you tried it? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:41):
I usually cook with. I mean, I've raised animals and
I have them slaughtered, so I usually, you know, render
fat from beef and and that's usually what I do.
Depends on what I'm making. When I make fries or
fried potatoes, I usually use beef tallow. You know a
lot of things I say baked green. Sorry for a while,
(32:01):
I you know, I make a lot of bacon at home.
I cure a lot of bacon. I used to raise pork,
but I don't be longer because it's just simpler to
buying port Belly's at Costco. But but I cure my
own bacon and smoke my own bacon, and uh so
I have a lot of bacon grease that did? It
just depends what I'm bacon.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
That does sound delicious.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
It's also my understanding since you you know, this new
administration kicked in Breitbart and Breitbart Texas and the Cartel
Chronicles have been getting so much exposure. They're actually talking
about making a Cartel Chronicles movie, and they were gonna
have Kanye West play the part of Brandon Darby.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Is that accurate that casting news?
Speaker 7 (32:41):
I think what they were gonna do is have Kanye
play the part of the neo Nazi groups. I used
to work under cover.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah that's right, you did do that. You did?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
He was an FBI in formant. I know that sounds crazy.
Brady Darby is a great journalist. Follow him on X
check out bright Bart Texas and the Cartel Chronicles.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Some radio shows are show hot. They'll literally burn your eyes. Fortunately,
this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
I feel like I never listening to you all again.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Pursuit of Happiness radio.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
The auto industry hasn't been rocked like this since a
straight woman bought a Subaru. I tell you, it's crazy. Guys,
it's nuts out there. Welcome back. We don't have a
lot of time left. But there's a guy here in
the studio right now. I invited him in. And over
the past week, I've had at least a couple of
different people threatened to sue me, and one of them
it doesn't matter who, but it was things I said
on the radio and things I said on social media
(33:37):
that upset people that weren't inaccurate. You can't you could
sue anyone for anything. That's what a lot of people
don't understand. But you won't win a defamation suit if
what you're being sued for, is true. And I won't
even say what her name is. If you follow me
on x or social media, you already know one of
Dan Crenshaw's primary opponents is a very sketchy, weird woman
who uses a fake photo and a fake name on
(33:59):
so social media. Her FEC records have her listed as
living outside of district too.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
She don't live there. She's got a California area code.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
She promotes a fake charity with a weird name that
doesn't really seem to exist, and when you ask her
what the charity does, she says they protect victims of doxing,
which just weirdly coincidentally, is the thing she accuses anyone
of doing if they ask about why it seems like
she doesn't live in Texas. We can't find any proof
that you've ever voted in Texas before. And one of
the things she's accused me of because I criticize her,
(34:31):
is being funded and working for a giant hedge fund
while also working for Congressman Dan Crenshaw, a guy who
does not really seem to like yours truly, who I've
been very critical of over the years. So in the
studio right now, Besides being one of the leaders of
the Texas Young Republican Group, you are also a staff
member of Dan Crenshaw. Matt, Matt, Matt Wilsher is here.
(34:52):
Matt is my friend of me.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I love Matt.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I don't agree with him on foreign policy stuff. He
knows I don't like Dan Crenshaw, even though you work
for Dan. Come to the local political stuff. This, this
thing where local people get obsessed with national politics is
part of the reason why Republicans lose, Matt, because you
and I understand that we don't. We may not agree
on Israel or Ukraine or whatever, but you and I
both see eye to eye on the fact that if
conservatives and right wingers and populists and nationalists and libertarians
(35:19):
and Harris County can't work together.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
Then we're gonna keep Lena Hidalgo he and we're gonna
keep getting terrible Democrat politicians running running Houston, running other
major cities around the country. If we cannot come together
when it really matters, that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
As much as I don't like the war in Ukraine,
I can tell you there's enough people on my side
on your side here in Houston that have blocked each
other on Twitter because of Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
And that's the reason why we have bail reform.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
But so what we're what we're dealing with here is
that we're watching this new breed of politician, of just
grifter politician, right people coming in. They have no business running,
they have no they have no reason to run against
Dan Crenshaw. Dan Crenshaw is a conservative member of Congress
(36:05):
who does is in line with everything that Donald Trump
wants and is supporting everything that Donald Trump is doing,
and has supported his foreign policy, has supported his his
positions on Mexico, has supported his positions on energy, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. But go on, Okay, but that's
if you're going to base everything, throw out entirely an
(36:28):
entire branch of politicians because of.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Three hours of one thing. I get it, that's that's absurd.
Get but his person.
Speaker 8 (36:36):
But what we're finding is a whole bunch of people
that they are starting to run against famous politicians because
it can make them money.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
And I want to talk about that because there's a
really interesting thing happening here.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
As you know, you and I I agree with about
half away.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
You just said, I want somebody who shares my principles,
lives in District two, has a squeaky clean history, is
locally involved in local actually involved in local politics, known
by people around here, and has resources to primary Dan Crenshaw.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
The problem with that is that, but why do you
want someone to primary Dan Crenshaw because of January sixth?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
That's absurd because I want it to be a Ron
Paul guy.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I want it. I don't want a neo Khan. I
want a guy who looks more like me politically. But
that's all that being said, I do agree with.
Speaker 8 (37:20):
But I want to ask you this, So if Donald
Trump were to run for Congress in this district, you
would say no.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
If Donald Trump were to run for Congress, I mean,
that would be crazy.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
That's a weird guy. But I'm not going to answer
hypothetical questions. Let's take a clone of Donald Trump, because
that is.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I want a guy like Thomas Massey. I want a
guy like Lesley Hunt. I want a guy you know
what I mean. But that being said, I don't want
a grifter. The problem with Dan Crenshaw is I'd rather
have a neo Khan who I don't exactly agree with
than have somebody that's a scam artist that's lying to us.
I don't like Dan Crenshaw's politics, right, I don't like
this foreign policy world police thing. But what I don't
like even more than that, Matt, is something you'd probably
(37:56):
agree with. People that suck up all the oxygen in
the room, who are pre tending to run for Congress
when in fact they're really just trying to get clout
from social media and they're trying to get people to
donate to them. We have two of those people right
now pretending to challenge Dan Crenshaw one of them.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
They're actually three at this point, but yeah, I mean
there are. The fact is is that Dan Crenshaw is
one of the most famous politicians in the country, and
because of that, people that have no business running are
running against him based on just they want to make
a name for themselves and they have no reason to
run against him. They have they're unable to articulate reasons
(38:33):
to run against him. That at best, they're going to
say something like I think that he's not maga enough,
which is absurd.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Okay, this to that he is also kind of an
arrogant prick. I've met him. I think that that is
a you're putting me in a weird position to you're
not agree with that.
Speaker 8 (38:52):
I don't agree with that, but I don't. But I
also think that that is irrelevant to whether or not
a person. Have you met other politicians at all, Paul,
pliticians have confidence in themselves that can border on But.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
That's no.
Speaker 8 (39:06):
There are a lot of politicians who will, uh, who
will fight for your attention instead of fighting for you.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
But wouldn't it be great if the congressman from District
two wasn't a guy that's seen on video saying Jesus
is fictional?
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Wouldn't that exact? That's not what he said, Kenny. You
know that's not what he said, but what he You
and I we both You went to Catholic school, right.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
We're you and I are going to Catholic church. We're
going to Mass right after that.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I do not agree on a lot of political stuff,
but we do agree on Catholic God.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
But here's my point.
Speaker 8 (39:35):
This is, Kenny, I love you so much, but when
you say things that are just blatantly untrue on the radio,
it makes me feel upset about this. The fact is
is that what Dan Crenshaw said is that is that
super Superman, Why Jesus archetype?
Speaker 2 (39:51):
It's so easy to find this sound bite. This is
one of the most circulated soundbites on Twitter.
Speaker 13 (39:56):
So that's important. That's important. Thing is is that we
have societal hero archetypes that we look up to. Jesus
is a is a hero archetype. Superman is a hero archetype.
Real characters too.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
You know, real characters too. The people he just said
are you.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
First off, no one denies and and Dane Crenshaw does
not deny the existence of Jesus or that he is
our god. So you know the fact that Michael, you know,
if you take, if you take, if you take a
word that might have been one wrong word. So what
are you going to tell me that that Romney wanted
to put women in binders because he said binders full
(40:36):
of women instead of binders full of women's resumes. This
is exactly the problem with Kenny, when you're taking these
quotes and you're like, we're going to take them so
literally that it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
You know, you're a smart guy, and I don't know.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
What he is saying is that is that Superman is
a modern archetype of the story that we use that
that Jesus exact amplify.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I will agree that people over focus on that sound bite,
but also it's funny to listen to him say it
because it sounds bad. But let's find let's find common
ground here, let's find common ground here. God exists. Yes,
Jesus is the son of God. Yes, Saint Michael is
the coolest saint. Sure, easily the colest. Come on, dude,
that's the prayer we read during exorcism.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
You and I may disagree on Dan Crenshaw, but we're
both equally concerned about grifting politicians, Yes, sucking up all
the oxygen in the room, making it so that to
some effect, a primary with decent candidates is becoming impossible
in this country because now you have people on social
media using that as a way for them to get
clout in money, so that if an actual primary took place,
(41:44):
nobody would even pay attention.
Speaker 8 (41:45):
The whole point is so that people are unable to
understand who a real candidate is, et cetera. They're capitalizing
on the fact that social media makes it very difficult
to parse the truth. And you know, frankly, just like
what you just did, Kenny and I hate to say this,
but by but by essentially.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I said, I think people over focus on that sound
I take just going about you.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
But you brought it up for a reason, and I
think that in part the reason that these drifters are
coming around is because you're giving them oxygen in a way.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Well, there's something to be said about that. But we
have to break here. We have to run real quick
before we get out of here. Can you just explain
to me why do you want to lower the age
of consent? That's so important to you?
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Why is that it is not? I'm Keddy Webster.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I want to thank my buddy Matt will Schier for
being a good sport, even if he is a neo
khon world police, multi military industrial complex, globalist show.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
I still love you, Matt. And and he's a Catholic
and that's more important. And I love you, you dirty hippie.
Speaker 11 (42:39):
All right, you are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
