Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The suit of Happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile, or a suit
of happiness on your radio toil just as cheeseburg, Just
say liberty fries at Fasooda.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Kids in school are louning a new version of the
Alphabet song that keeps the same tune but groups the
letters a little differently. So suck on that, Elmo. That's amazing. Hi,
I'm Kenny Webster. Apparently in some states they're teaching kids
the alphabet, but they're only teaching him LGBTQA. Yeah, I'm
thinking those states are probably Minnesota and California. Speaking of Minnesota,

(00:49):
we have a running mate for Kamala Harris. We'll be
getting that today on the show. Tim Walls is his name.
He's the Minnesota governor. We're gonna tell you all about
him everything you need to know, or don't need to know,
or just would be a use to know. Stick around.
We have some dirt on him that you're going to
want to hear about. And Brandon Waltons is stopping by.
It's Tuesday, so we're going to get a report from
Texas Scorecard on what's going on in and around the

(01:10):
Lone Star State, the latest information today from the immigration crisis,
and a lot more. Stay tuned for that. But first,
let's start off with some dirt from the Secret Service.
If you are a betting man, you would probably not
bet that the Secret Service is doing a good job.
I mean, it's about a month ago that they actually

(01:30):
let a presidential candidate and former president get shot. Well,
now we learn that apparently the same person that was
in charge of the Secret Service when Donald Trump got
shot with a bullet by an assassin was the person
who wanted to dispose of the cocaine that they found
at the White House. The now disgrace Secret Service Director

(01:52):
Kimberly Cheedle, wanted to destroy evidence. Wanted to destroy evidence
from a federal investigation about an illicit substances found inside
the White House. The Secret Service says yesterday it disposed
of cocaine found last year responding to a report about
alleged infighting on its fate following a partial DNA match.
Uh oh, the evidence from that investigation was thrown away.

(02:15):
Not to worry everyone, said Anthony Googlymy, the Secret Service spokesman.
Google emly did not state the specific retention policy, but
broadly dismissed it as false. False allegations outlied by a
trio of sources at Real Clear Politics, which is not
exactly a right wing news outlet. They reported that President
Biden's then Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheedle, wanted to destroy

(02:39):
the cocaine, but faced internal opposition. Whoah, Kimberly was really
pissed off an exact quote from the article when her
request was rebuffed by subordinates, who cited protocols requiring that
the evidence be retained for seven years. Do you know
what that means? It means two things. Number One, it

(03:00):
means A, the Secret Service tried to dispose of some
drugs that probably belonged to Hunter Biden, and b it
means they're currently in possession of cocaine. Wow. Two sources
told the reporter that Kimberly Cheadle called the agency's forensics
division's false supervisor a vault supervisor. Excuse me, Matt White,

(03:22):
and asked him to dispose of the evidence because leadership
wanted to close the case. Leadership Hmmm, yeah, I bet.
Three sources connected to the Secret Service told Real Clear
Politics that DNA had been recovered from the half used dimebag,
allowing for a partial hit in a national database. After

(03:42):
the drug was found on July second, twenty twenty three,
two days after a gathering at the White House by
the Biden family. Hmm, wonder who dropped it there? The
Secret Service closed its investigation just eleven days after the
cocaine was found without interviewing any POTENTI suspects, giving the
impression that the agency wasn't interested in learning the facts

(04:04):
behind the embarrassing incident. HM. Gollie g will occurs. I
think I'm starting to notice a pattern of behavior here.
It's unclear exactly when the agency destroyed the small bag
of cocaine, or if there was any attempt to follow
up on the alleged DNA partial match a DNA match.

(04:24):
Wouldn't you like to know who it was? Nah? Move along, everybody,
nothing to see here. Kimberly Cheetle's interest in getting rid
of the evidence was notable in part because she landed
her post after a push by First Lady Joe Biden
and her top aid, who serves as an important liaison
between the extended Biden family and other government officials. So

(04:48):
apparently the supervisor here. Secret Service Forensics Division Chief Glenn
Dennis reportedly consulted with the agency's uniformed Divisions Acting Chief
Richard McAuley and decided to oppose destroying the cocaine. Yeah, sorry,
Kimberly Cheedle and the Biden family. I know you want
us to get rid of evidence of illicit drugs found

(05:09):
in the White House, but protocol says we ought not. Hmm.
Cheadle resigned a little over a week ago in the
aftermath of the security failures leading to the assassination attempt
against Donald Trump, and something tells me she probably knows
a lot more than what she's sharing with us about
that case and the cocaine case. The drug was found

(05:34):
in the downstairs of the West Wing, near the situation room,
in a locker used for personal items. Hmm. The discovery
sparked a lot of speculation that a member of the
Biden family might have been involved. Whoever it could be,
we do not know. Nobody has a clue. We do

(05:54):
know that Hunter Biden, age fifty four, Anne Ashley Biden,
age forty three, have used cocaine in the past, and
they were there that day in that part of the building.
But again, I repeat, there's no reason to believe the
Biden family was responsible for something they almost likely did.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Live from Texas, broadcasting across the People's Reet topic of America.
This is Preciits of How It Is Radio with Ken Webstern,
Junior Akay producer Kenny Keep it here.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Dulce and Gabana has launched a new perfume for dogs.
You know what, spray it on, you dump it in
the grass and they roll in it. That's that's how
it works. It's called Oo Da Turd and it's a
mix of fragrances that dogs enjoy, you know, like musk
and sandalwood and other dogs butts. All right, that isn't
entirely true. Here is what's true. Dulcea in Gobana is

(06:48):
selling a new perfume for dogs called Fefe. It is
a three and a half ounce bottle. It costs a
little over one hundred bucks, which seems like a pretty
pricey amount of money for something you're gonna rub on
an animal that sleeps in the mud and eats poop.
Here is a quick promo that they made.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I am delicate, authentic, charismatic, sensitive, enigmatic, because I'm not
just a dog.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, I'm oh.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
The new alcohol free freaks missed for dogs?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's in you and good on, Thank you del Jangamana.
It's interesting that this news broke the same day that
our economy started falling apart that long waited market crash yesterday.
Now it wasn't as bad as some had worried, but
a lot of people speculate it could just be the
writing on the wall to something much bigger that is
no doubt on its way. And as we're sitting here
dealing with an inflation crisis and a market crash, a

(07:49):
lot of us started wondering why anybody would spend one
hundred bucks on dog perfume, theefe pofume. I don't know.
Maybe the wealthy people in this country just have too
much money to spend. Poor Kamala and Joe, what are
they gonna do?

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Tired of wasting money on noble causes? Spoil your dog
with Dulce and Gabana's new fife upon you for dogs,
because nothing says opulence like an overpriced cologne for your
pub who'll probably.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Prefer to roll in squirrelpoof or mud.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Why donate the science and try and make a difference
in the world when you can drench your dog in
fifthe make every sniff a reminder of your pretentious choices
fifth A by Dulce and Gabana, because your dog's dignity
is worth every penny.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, all right, So, if you're just getting tuned in,
we've been talking about this report that was just published
yesterday by the liberal media. Liberal I mean legitimate left
it left leaning so called journalists published a report detailing
how the now disgraced outgoing director of the Secret Service,

(08:56):
Kimberly Chetle, tried to dispose of evidence earlier was last
year at this point when they found cocaine at the
White House, which might explain why she was in that
position in the first place. But while we're on the
topic of the Secret Service, ras Musen just pulled a
little over one thousand likely voters and they asked them

(09:16):
if officials in the federal government were part of a
conspiracy to assassinate Trump, and the number of people that
said yes it was almost half. Now, for the record,
forty eight percent of people said it was unlikely, but
more than forty percent believe it is likely, and that
is still a pretty high number. When asked if the

(09:39):
twenty year old man who tried to assassinate Trump on
July thirteenth and Pennsylvania acted alone, fifty three percent said yes,
thirty four percent said he yet help from someone else.
I'm not an expert on this, but have you ever
heard this before? They claim it's been claimed by people
who are experts, that assassins almost never work alone. There's
all somebody else again, you know, anecdotal, But trust in

(10:04):
the left wing. FBI's investigation is also pretty close to
divide it. Fifty three percent trust the FBI, forty four
percent not so much.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
You know.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
The suspicions about the secret services mind bending and inexplicable
security failures being deliberate, probably not a secret. Frankly, I
think they wanted this to happen. I think it was intentional.
I don't think they put the assassin there. I think
that they lowered their guard, they got lazy, and I

(10:36):
think they did it on purpose. There's an author you
may have heard of named Gerald Posner. Gerald Posner wrote
a book called Case Closed. It's an examination of the
nineteen sixty three assassination of JFK. Case Closed answers a
lot of interesting questions. One of which is that Oswald

(10:56):
probably didn't work alone. So for eleven headed an intelligent
guy like this, author Posner to take a pause at
the Trump assassination attempt, this should give everyone pause. Listen
to what he recently said in a podcast called the
Drill Down Podcast. I'll just read you the transcript quote
noting the belated admission by the Secret Service that Trump's

(11:19):
security team was denied requested resources before the July thirteenth
assassination attempt, Posner asks, did they refuse to give Trump
ex security for a two year period? They were almost
creating a situation in which somebody could take a shot.
Now I'm not saying that's the case, but I understand
why the speculation would be there. Posner has been following

(11:42):
the hearings into the Secret Services failure and he has
many questions. He asks, we knew there have been screw
ups before, but they can't keep it silent anymore because
people who attend the rally take out their cell phones
and start recording what happened. Everybody could see, hey, there
he is, there's that guy. What's that guy doing on

(12:04):
the roof? Help us officers, so we know more than
they are telling us, no wonder, we think something's fishy here.
Before the event, the shooter was quote walking around with
a rangefinder and apparently a large backpack, and they were
tracking him, and then the Secret Service was made aware
of him. They're saying they now knew the guy thirty

(12:25):
minutes in advance, why did they allow Trump to take
the stage? End quote. Now, we also had the head
of the FBI, Christopher Ray, spreading a conspiracy theory of
his own when he claimed Trump might not have been
shot with a bullet. But then the head investigator of
the FBI, in charge of this whole this case, came

(12:46):
out and said, no, nobody's ever thought that Trump didn't
get shot with a bullet. As a matter of fact,
I think there's some audio of this very thing. You
ever been to Louisiana. They got a senator over there
in Louisiana who asked a member of the Secret Service
about this very thing. And sometimes people compare that senator,
Senator John F. Kennedy to fog horn leghorn. But that's

(13:09):
besides the point. Here here's the exchange. Listen to a
little of this.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
Thank you, mister chairman, mister abate am I saying your
name right.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yes, Senator, thank you, you.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
Are the deputy director of the FBI.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Is correct, yes, Centator.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
Is there any doubt in your mind or in the
collective mind of the FBI that President Trump was shot
in the ear by a bullet fired by the assassin Crooks?

Speaker 8 (13:47):
There is, Senator, There is absolutely no doubt in the
FBI's mind it whether former President Trump was hit with
the with a bullet and wounded in the No doubt.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
There never has been.

Speaker 8 (14:02):
I've been part of this investigation since the very beginning,
and that has never been raised.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
You're sure, Yes, it wasn't a space slacer. No, it
wasn't a murder hornet, absolutely not. It wasn't sasquatch, no, center,
It was a bullet.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
It was a bullet, Senator, fired by Crooks.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yes, sir, that he.

Speaker 7 (14:27):
Hit President Trump in the year and almost killed him.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, No, I'm glad we cleared that up. So Christopher Ray,
the headhead of the FBI, that guy's boss, came out
and tried to make it sound like none of this
ever happened. And then you had the acting Secret Service
Director Ronald Rowe, attempt to claim the assassin was a
right winger based on four and five year old social
media posts, although the latest social media posts attributed to

(14:52):
him show he had leftist beliefs, something Senator Marsha Blackburn
had to wrench out of him during his Senate testimony
last week. Very awkward moment in exchange there. Indeed, something
else that you got to find suspicious is the writing
of this want to be assassin as some clumsy loser.
This guy used a rangefinder and apparently knew how to

(15:12):
adjust his weapon based on the rangefinder. He used a drone,
He had explosives, he had a transmitter for those explosives,
and only failed due to a fluke turn of the head.
That sounds pretty sophisticated to me for a twenty year old,
doesn't it. I'm forty one, forty two now. I don't
know how to do any of that stuff at this point.
Democrats and the deep state have spied on the Trump's

(15:34):
twenty sixteen campaign. They attempted to frame him as a
Russian spy. They impeached him twice for no reason. They
removed him from social media. They falsely accused him of
being an insurrectionist. They called him hitler. They said he
was a danger to democracy. The Biden administration rated Trump's home.
Democrat prosecutors tried to bankrupt Trump, they tried to jail him.

(15:58):
Democrats all over have tried to remove Trump from the ballot.
And on top of that, do we honestly believe the
same ideology. Willing to abort babies in the ninth month,
willing to sexualize little kids and permanently mutilate them to
please their trans funders, are above an assassination when all
else fails. Hey, look, I'm just asking questions here. You know,

(16:18):
I think we're allowed to do that, right.

Speaker 9 (16:20):
Love America, the government listenlive, Listen now to proceed of
Happiness Radio with kind of Webster Viginia producer Kenny.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
A new Cadillac was built with bio materials made of mushrooms.
It's the biggest achievement with mushrooms since Aaron Rodgers' career. Hey,
Tim Walls, who is he? Let's talk about him. We've
got a VP pick Tim Walls. As Babylon be put it,
wants to make America as great as Minneapolis, you know,
the city with transgendered six year olds that was basically

(16:55):
on fire for the better part of a year Tim
Walls was the governor of Minnesota when George Floyd was
killed by well, when George Floyd died. Let's just leave
it at that. So whether you blame the cop or
George Floyd, either way, I gotta think both conservatives and
liberals have enough reason to not like Tim Walls. Okay,

(17:16):
either you think that an agent of Tim Walls state
murdered George Floyd, or you think after a black guy died,
the governor of that state basically let extremists burn the
whole place down and riot NonStop for months. Either way,
Tim Walls, he's the guy in charge. Following his selection
as Kamala Harris's running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls has

(17:37):
reassured voters, if elected, he will make America as great
as Minneapolis. You know, just a great place with race
riots all the time, and residents in Minneapolis probably not
thrilled to learn what's about to happen here in the
rest of the country. But hell, they live in Minneapolis.
What do they care. They still have to put out
the fire at their Twin Cities targets and auto zones.

(18:01):
You know, they changed the flag in the state of Minnesota,
so it would look more like the Somalian flag. That's
a thing that really happened under Tim Wall's leadership. They
actually did that. Hard to believe. Tim Walls gave illegal
migrants taxpayer funded healthcare intuition and driver's licenses. Yeah. President
Biden's borders are has chosen a fellow soft on illegal

(18:23):
immigration politician to be a running mate. Tim Walls is
basically Bernie Sanders. He's sixty years old, he's a Marxist.
He hangs out with the squad. They're all homies. They
love each other, good buds. And his position is to
make Minnesota a sanctuary state, not just a sanctuary city.

(18:44):
He loves that, loves open borders. You know, technically that
is a border state. I mean, we don't often think
about the northern states that touch Canada as being a
threat to our national security, but plenty of illegal immigrants
are walking over the Canadian border. Now Jim Garrity at
the National Review is calling out Tim Walls. This is

(19:07):
almost laughable when you look at his record running a
state government, which somehow manages to combine the honesty of
former Illinois Governor Rod Boguyevitch, the incompetence of former Louisiana
Governor Kathleen Blanco and the sharp eyed ethical watchdog instincts
of soon to be former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez.

(19:27):
Just a whole lot of shady, unethical people in Minnesota,
and they all see the state government as a giant
pile of money waiting to be taken. You got a
very sleepy guard in the form of a governor. You know,
they had a scandal recently under his watch in which
some of his people stole two hundred and fifty million
dollars of funds intended to be used to feed hungry,

(19:50):
low income public school students, and instead they spend it
on real estate and traveling and luxury cars. Bloomberg News
says Kamala Harris is considering a wide range of VP candidates.
They were looking at Josh Shapiro. Can't get him, he's
a Jew. They were looking at Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.

(20:11):
Can't have him. He owns that Chinese spy balloon company.
That's not a good look. I mean, help Joe Biden
and Kamala's administration had to shoot that spy balloon down.
But now they've landed on Minnesota. Governor and Bernie Sanders
lookalike Tim Walls. The dirty, not so little, not so
secret about Walls is that he's not a good manager,

(20:35):
because on his watch, the Minnesota government endured one embarrassing
scandal after another, entailing fraud and waste and abuse and mismanagement.
How about this. Of all the things that this guy
was attached to, they had something called hero pay. They
wasted on dead people. In twenty twenty two, Walls signed

(20:58):
into law a plan to pay Minnesota frontline workers hero
pay for their hard work during the pandemic. Doesn't seem
so bad, I guess. The state's initial estimate was that
roughly six hundred and sixty seven thousand people were eligible
for meat for hero pay, meaning they would all get
seven hundred and fifty dollars a pop. But within a
few months the state announced that more than a million

(21:20):
people qualified. More people are going to get money, but
we'll have less money to give out, So they made
it four hundred and eighty seven dollars and forty five cents.
Who doesn't love forty Who doesn't need an extra forty
five cents?

Speaker 6 (21:30):
Right?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
If an estimate that's off by roughly three hundred and
thirty three thousand people. Raises your eyebrow. You have very
good instincts. Not only were a significant portion of recipients ineligible,
some of them didn't even have a pulse. Yeah, dead people.
The Department of Labor and Industry, the agency tasked with

(21:56):
overseeing and implementing the Minnesota frontline Worker Pay program, did
not comply with requirements for the program. The auditor's report
concluded that less than sixty percent of recipients of the
bonuses were eligible, thirty two percent of recipients could not
be verified, nine percent were ineligible because they were probably
not alive. Wow, that's pretty bad now. The same pattern

(22:21):
we saw on those other two programs I just mentioned
were part of this what we would call didn't follow
procedures for avoiding conflicts of interest. Minnesota Department of Human
Services Behavioral Health Division did not comply with certain grants
manageament policies, Matching similar findings of a twenty twenty one audit.

(22:44):
The audit released found the agency didn't follow procedures for
avoiding conflicts of interest, engaging whether nonprofits were financially stable
enough before awarding them grants. In other words, they were
just giving out state funds taxpayer money to organizations operated
by friends of the governor and other high ranking members
of the Minnesota government gave out a lot of money

(23:10):
twenty nine million dollars over a period of five years.
Mismanaged Walls is terrible, and we haven't even gotten to
his ideology, which has pushed the state's policies hard to
the left. It's not just that he's a leftist. He's
an incompetent leftist. But I suppose that's probably why they
chose him. The more we learn about the guy, the

(23:31):
more concerning it is. Now Josh Shapiro, a moderate Democrat
in a state the Democrats absolutely need to win, couldn't
get picked because he's a Jew. As governor, he supported
school vouchers. Can't have that. Apparently at some point he

(23:54):
flip flopped on school choice in short voucher opponent and
don't like Shapiro. They won that battle in twenty twenty three,
but they aren't sure the governor's really on their side
in the war. Remember, none of the VIP options for
Harris are good. There's only lesser degrees of bad. A
Democratic running mate whom anti voucher forces regard with suspicion

(24:16):
is a better option for conservatives than any running mate
who's a resolute opponent of vouchers. It's interesting to think
these candidates were handpicked by Barack Obama. Barack Obama sat
down and he said, here's what we got. Mark Kelly
is an old white guy. Tim Walls is an old
white guy. Josh Shapiro is a young Jew. Josh Shapiro

(24:42):
is in a state we need his moderate political positions.
As for Mark Kelly, not so much as for Tim Walls,
definitely not. And weirdly enough, they picked the one candidate
I would assume makes it the least likely for them
to win. So maybe we should thanking them now.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'm not a fan of the government doing anything.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
This is the pursuit of happiness radio on kprc Am
nine fifty, I hoop is bringing back all you can
eat pancakes. I think Red Lobster would like to have
a word with them about that.

Speaker 6 (25:20):
Man.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Interesting all you can eat pancakes historians will look back
at this is the first shot fired in the war
on Ozembic. Hi. I am a proud resident of Texas
and my name's Kenny, and I'm also a fan of history.
Do you all like history? A little earlier this summer,
we celebrated I mean, I don't know if you celebrated it,
but we recognized the existence of Juneteenth. I'll just say,

(25:41):
you know, to be is to be accurate here. I
know some conservatives don't like Juneteenth, but I think I
think we should like it. Think about what Juneteenth is
for a minute. A long time ago, a bunch of
authoritarian Democrats were trafficking humans at the southern border of Texas,

(26:01):
and then a Republican stepped in and said, stop it.
I mean, it's true, right, That's not probably how you
frame June teenth, but that's technically what Juneteenth is. As
a matter of fact, Galveston has been a destination for
a long time where right wing thinkers, conservative Republican thinkers
have been crushing the hopes of authoritarianism from people in

(26:24):
the Democrat Party. It's happened again, all a bit different
this time. Galveston County just won a major redistricting case.
Have you ever looked at a map of the congressional
districts in places like Chicago or Houston. Liberal Democrats love
to complain about jerrymandering, but they benefit from it more

(26:45):
than anyone. Sheila Jackson Lee rest in peace. Have you
ever looked at her district? Who drew it? It looks
like a child with a cran drew it. I mean, look,
I'm not going to bad mouth a woman who's dead now,
but I got to think had her district have been
drawn like that, she never would have been elected. Now
Galveston is dealing with a similar controversy, and actually this

(27:07):
is good news, a big decision from the US Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals. And here with the report, my
buddy Brandon Waltons of Texas scorecard dot Com. Brandon, how
you doing, my man?

Speaker 6 (27:17):
I'm doing great.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
How are you good?

Speaker 9 (27:19):
So?

Speaker 2 (27:19):
What was it that just went down in Galvesteon? Can
you explain this in layman's terms?

Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yeah, this is the case We've been following since last
year when this was really making its way through the courts,
basically Galveston County. You know, we think of jerrymandering, you know,
redistricting being something that the state does so with congressional seats,
with the state legislature, but actually these individual jurisdictions, like counties,
for example, do redistricting of their own. They draw the

(27:46):
districts for county commissioners, school boards have you know, their
school board district seats in some areas, and so you know,
you see redistricting even on a smaller level there. Now,
what happened here is that when Albason County drew the
maps the last time, they eliminated this seat that was
held by a Democrat, and they sued and said, you know, look,

(28:11):
you need to draw this district because it's a majority
minority area. You need to protect this Democrat seat. And
you know, there was actually decades of precedent where the
courts had sided with people had said that said, well,
the Voting Rights Act protects that. Well, the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals just issued a major ruling siding with
Galveston County saying that no federal law does not protect

(28:36):
these districts created by and they called it opportunistic political
combinations of voters from different minority groups. And so the
effect of that is that you could see in you know,
not just Galveston, who's already done it, but this could
have a ripple effect across a number of local governments
across the state, indeed, to other states in the Fifth

(28:58):
Circuit area who no longer have to create these Democrat
drawn Jerrymander district You.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Know, it's very good news. And also, as you just explained,
you just pointed out this feud, this dispute is over
redrawing the districts over there in Galveston. This has been
going on for a while.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
You say, yes, yes, this was done the last time
they did redistricting, so a couple two three years ago now,
and you know, this is just the latest ruling now
out of the Circuit Court of Appeals.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
The reason I asked that question is this, Now, I
don't claim to be some expert on the census reports
from Galveston County or anything like that, but it's my understanding,
if you went back ten fifteen years, the number of
minority voters, black and Hispanic voters in that particular area
was actually larger than what it is now. And the
reason that happened was after Hurricane Harvey, after Burrow, after

(29:49):
a handful of other tropical storms, a lot of the
low income minority voters that were living in that area left.
And so I wonder if this, you know what, like
great that we won this thing, and you know that's great.
I don't see a reason to re draw districts just
to pander to some you know, minority group so that they,
you know, so the Democrats can get some elected official

(30:10):
that they want. But at the same time, I wonder,
had we have lost this, if it still would have
benefited them the way that they originally hoped.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
Yeah, I mean, they had hoped that they would at
least be able to keep that one Democrat seat there was,
you know, there's only one Democrat seat beforehand. Yeah, so
this was a dwindling, you know, problem for them anyway,
And like you mentioned, even give her the trajectory of
the demographics in Galveston. But now you know, they don't
need to bend over backwards to draw some crazy district

(30:38):
just so that there can be one Democrat on the
county Commission.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
All right, let's talk about immigration for a minute while
we're down at the southern border, because technically that is
what Galveston is. You guys have a report today from
Will Bigiani about how thousands of unaccompanied miners have been
accounted at the border despite a dropping overall crossing. So
we've been told recently from border patrol agents and immigration
experts down at the southern border that during this election year, suddenly, surprisingly,

(31:05):
oddly enough, the number of illegal immigrants coming over the
border just suddenly decreased at a time when it's most
convenient for Biden. But actually the number of kids being
trafficked over the border is still shockingly large.

Speaker 6 (31:19):
Yeah, it's sort of interesting, even though numbers overall have
been down somewhat this year, and you know, we could,
you know, we could talk about them, the many reasons
that that might be the case, right, But even as
that is happening, the number of children without adults, with
no adults who are just showing up at the border
remains in the tens of thousands.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, and right before the twenty twenty two election, the
same thing happened right before the election, right around this
time of year, the numbers went down. Now, given this
is the hottest part of the summer, so you don't
see as many people walking through the desert, but it's
also not a coincidence that it's happened happening during an
election year. And anybody out there that degrees please feel
free to call and argue with me about this. There

(32:03):
are more than enough experts at the border that will
tell you the Biden administration has a lot more control
over this than they want you to believe. They do
communicate with people in Mexico, and when rampant numbers of
people are walking over the border, simply put, it's because
they want them to be there.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Yes, and that's certainly what some of our sources down
there have said that, you know, there's the you know,
Todd Benjman with the Center for Immigration Studies suggested that
Biden's essentially been in communication with Mexico, with the Mexican
president who wants Biden to win. Let's keep that in mind. Sure,
and so they're you know, they're willing to maybe, you know,

(32:41):
to stop the problem, blow the problem down a little
bit right now while we're in election season.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, the last thing any of these countries want is
a nationalist to get elected. They want an open border guy.
They want somebody that is going to write blank checks
to foreign countries. That's Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. I mean,
same difference, and it's not Donald Trump. The same reason
Mexico doesn't want Trump getting elected is the reason Zelensky
and Ukraine don't want Trump getting elected. They know their

(33:08):
free meal tickets up if Trump wins exactly right.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
They see that as a major problem. So that's that's
surprise that they're getting behind the Biden. Well, now, Kamala
Harris campaign. I guess the Harris Walls Walls campaign rolls
right off the top.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, there's so many Yeah, what do you think about that?
Tim Walls is basically what do they call him, like
the sixth member of the squad. He's a far left
geriatric Bernie Sanders look alike who is all about trans
kids and open borders. And I thought, didn't they just
finish criticizing jd Vance for being too much of an

(33:49):
extremist and now they've picked a running mate for Kamala
who is quite literally what they're what they claim to
be criticizing.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
Oh yeah, defund the police, somebody who has sided with
all those you know, I don't know. I was surprised.
I thought even up until the last minute, I thought,
you know, I think Democrats will probably end up picking
Joshapira from Pennsylvania. It's amazing that the I guess, the
anti Semitic wing of the Democrat Party is so powerful
that they couldn't even do that.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Okay, so do you think that has something to do
with Minnesota and Michigan where there's a lot of Islamic voters.
There's a lot in Dearborn in Minneapolis, you have a
lot of these people that just hate Israel are there. Actually,
it's my understanding that's less than one or two percent
of the people voting. Why is that so important to
the Democrats right now?

Speaker 6 (34:38):
Well, I guess, you know, you look at these elections,
and you look at the past elections all of all
of these these elections that went on the margins in
these states, right, so percenters or two of voters can
mean the difference between winning or losing a state. But
it is interesting though to me, and you know, I'm
kind of just seeing this news and you know, learning
about Tim Walls. I didn't know that much about him,

(35:00):
but it is interesting that they pick a governor from
a blue state. Minnesota hasn't voted Republican in a long time.
He would have thought they would have picked somebody from
a swing state. But you know, I guess, I guess
we'll see what their strategy is there. It seems bad
to me.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yeah, I think so too. I mean JD. Van's Ohio
was until recently considered a swing state, but Minnesota. I mean,
Democrats haven't lost Minnesota since nineteen seventy two. In fact,
Minnesota was the only state that Reagan didn't get when
he swept the country in his re election bid. I
think it was nineteen eighty four. That was the only

(35:35):
state he didn't win.

Speaker 6 (35:37):
Yeah, the only one. So that kind of tells you
what the politics are in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, And then getting back to you, you were just
saying a lot of people don't know Tim Walls, which
we don't talk about Tim Walls, but at the same time,
we all know this guy because that was the epicenter
of the riots in twenty twenty. That was some of
the weirdest transgender laws for kids in the country, some
of the most radical state if you could think of.
And by the way, and do I you know, I
don't know if I'm the first person to say this

(36:03):
out loud on a terrestrial media medium, but you know,
an agent of his state murdered George Floyd. Doesn't that
upset liberals a little? Or does he get a pass
on that?

Speaker 6 (36:17):
I guess, you know, I guess I guess he'll get
a pass on it. I you know, it's going to
be interesting to see the reactions from Democrats he always loved.
You know, most people probably never heard of Tim Walls,
and so it's probably funny to see, you know, the
Texas Democrat Party, for example, as a statement out just now,
you know, applauding the choice as if they had given

(36:37):
any thought to him before today or before the last
few days. So you know, they'll they'll get in line.
But you know, it'll be interesting to see what's coming
out because even already this morning, I mean, you've got
some serious problems from his record that are being exposed.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, back in twenty twenty, we had the media amplifying
the message of BOM and I noticed this time around,
BLM doesn't like Joe Biden, BLM doesn't like Kamala, and
you really don't hear about BLM at all. It's not
as if they don't still exist. But boy, it's certainly
not like it like it was four years ago. I
wonder if they'll embraced him or if they'll call him

(37:14):
out for being the guy that was in charge of
the ship when George Floyd, you know, the new Martin
Luther King Junior got murdered on video.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
Yeah, well, I guess as long as he was out
there marching, you know, along with them and joining it
in the riots afterwards. I guess allays forgiven.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Tim has always a great job. We didn't even on
some of the reporting, you guys do. We didn't even
have time to get to this story. Illegal alien crash
his car kills student in Virginia. Texas Republican strengthened the
push for education reform. Oh this is interesting for those
of you that remember Lena Hidalgo trying to get a
universal basic income program here in Harris County. A new

income makes people poorer, sicker, and unemployed longer. All stories
