Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack gannon government sucks. Suit of happiness. Radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Of a suit
of habbiness on your radio toil, just as cheezburg is
lib rise at the food.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Michael Jackson was reportedly taught to moonwalk by an eight
year old boy and for more uplifting stories about Michael
Jackson and children and I I think that's actually it.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Steve, Steve loves him. I was in the building right now.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
What's good, bro, Warning, buddy, greetings, my man, I was
out there. You and I are old enough. You're you're
a couple of years younger than me. We're basically elder
wise elder millennials. Yes, I'm so old. I can remember
a time when I was a little kid where people
would argue over who was cooler, Prince or Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm gonna go with Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Michael Jackson, yes, because think about a Super Bowl halftime show.
He was there and stood silent for two minutes, and
that everyone's cheering the entire time. I don't think Prince
can pull that off. That's true, but that was before
we knew there was a thing that we learned about Michael.
After that happened, that kind of changed our perspective. I
don't know how true all of that is. Do you
(01:16):
have you ever heard like the neo Nazis like Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Have you ever heard this?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
They think that his pedophilia was a conspiracy theory created
by the Jews in the banking industry because he criticized
Jewish people kick me, pick me up? You know that song,
there's a song where he uses the Jewish slur. I
don't think I could say it on the radio. Probably
they don't really care about us. And then they changed
(01:43):
the lyrics because he was apparently critical of Judaism.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
They say that he wasn't really a pedophile. I think
I think he was. I don't know. He had maybe
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Man, he had a like a treehouse and never land
ranch where he would take kids that he didn't know.
I mean, how many underage kids have slept over at
your house that weren't like your children's friends?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Zoro for me?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Sure, I haven't had anyone? Okay to s all right?
Steve loves Amo for those who don't know that is.
Steve is a prominent conservative influencer on social medias a
great at tweeting. He's also a military veteran, a good American,
And he and I are both proud supporters of Ken
Paxton in this runoff. And we're gen x light. Yeah,
(02:26):
gen x light, that's true. We're both xenials. We're older millennials.
Like wise, elder millennials. They cause, uh interact to polls.
As a polling data that's come out now, and what
it says is that even if Trump endorses cornn Paxton
still wins. If Trump endorses Paxton, Paxton destroys Cornin. If
(02:46):
Trump endorses corny In, Packston probably still wins by eight points,
so not quite double digits, but probably within the margin
of error there where he'd win. No matter what, I
generally find when there's a surrogate on social media, when
there's somebody on social media who really likes Corning, it's
almost like a prominent you know, conservative podcast. It's always
(03:06):
a guy in DC or Austin. It's never a guy
in Waco. It's never some oil guy on the Permian basin. Right, Yeah,
you see it too, Yeah, absolutely, man. And just this
goes to show you how much support Ken Paxton has
in the state of Texas and not John Cornyn. Well,
because Ken Paxton is actually here in Texas and not
you know, suit and tie walking down the streets of
(03:28):
DC all day, you know, collecting money being a uniparty
deep stater. Okay, So it's my understanding that I'm not
like an election rule expert or whatever, but I always
I look this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You can vote in the because of open primaries, Democrats
can vote in the runoff as long as they didn't
vote in the primary. So if you voted for Crocket
or Tallarico, forget it, you're out of this. But if
you forgot to show up on primary day, and now
this is all people are talking about, you can come
out and vote for corn if you're a Democrat.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Do you think they will? Oh? Yes, absolutely for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I Mean that's how Crenshaw stated and for so long,
gotta be if there's a person on the Democrat ticket
people actually care about, they're less likely to vote in
a Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But this is there.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But what there's nobody in a Democrat runoff state wide.
There's zero people in a Democrat runoff state wide, So
why would you care? Well, what I'm seeing is well,
Texas be an open primary. I guarantee you. Tall Rico
and their minions are looking at this and they see
that if Trump endorses Cornyn, there's a one point difference, Right,
(04:36):
So there's going to be a campaign to get the
people that didn't vote in the primary in the runoff
to vote for John Cornyn.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I've got to assume that most people realize, including James Tallerrico,
he's not gonna win. There's just not enough Republicans say
if they'll tell you, they're like, oh, you know, look
how many Democrats voted in this primary. Yeah, but there's
no historical proof that the party that gets the most
votes in the prime mary gets the most votes in
the general election. Frequently the opposite, right, is the case,
(05:04):
because people just don't feel the need.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
To come out and vote for the incumbent candidate in
the primary. What do they care? But they'll come out
and vote for him in the general election exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, so I got to assume Abbot skates right into
a victory. The other thing I saw today that I
thought was funny.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Was a rolls into a victory.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Democrats, Yes, yes, thank you, look fair? Yeah, okay, hey,
he's just being accurate here. The other thing I thought
today was very funny is I see Democrats now saying
that Doc Pete Chambers supporters are going to vote for
are going to vote against Abbot, that they'll vote for
the Democrat candidate. I'm sorry. They didn't vote for Abbot
because he wasn't conservative enough. Now they're going to vote
(05:42):
for the Democrat. I have a hard time believing that.
It seems like a weird sigh up. That would be
like if John Cornyn were to win the primary or
not the primary, sorry, the runoff, that conservatives would vote
for taller Rico. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make any sense. No, why would you vote
for tall Rico? Can we talk about Tallerico for just
(06:03):
a second. We are Steve and I because we live
in Texas, but we keep up with national politics. I've
known who James Tallerico is for a while and he
always reminded me of the guy from the mad Max
magazine covers. To me, the mad magazine covers, not Mad Max.
I don't know why I threw that by the ginger guy. Yeah, well,
his name's Alfred y Newman. I think is and they
do look an awful lot alike. Once you see it,
(06:24):
you can't unsee it. But James has built a career
off of being a hero to the far left, and
now they're trying to market him as a moderate. So
he's hoping that sound bites like this will disappear.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
They won't. Here's James Tallerico doing an interview.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Something that you love that's not family or friends.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I love.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I'm just saying this because it's on my mind.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
The trans children who.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Showed up yesterday at the state Capitol.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
All right, so James loves trans kids. You and I
made this point before the show. If your political movement
depends on you spending time alone with other people's children
in order for the revolution to happen, you're a krumer in,
a pedophile. I mean that's a big red flag, right.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'm glad we have all these sound bites because the
internet is forever, and him trying to push to be
the more moderate position, kind of like how Gavin Newsom
is trying to build my opinion he's going to run
for president. I just want to give people an example
of what happens when a society becomes more comfortable with
the trans movement. Let me put something on the screen
(07:34):
here for everybody. By the way, to those of you
listening to us on the radio, we're live streaming right
now on steve'sax account, among other places. This actually happened
in Australia. Foster care children were put in a house
with a transgender serial killer. Vulnerable foster care children replaced
with state ministers have apologized after the calamity was exposed
(07:55):
by a member of the general public. You heard that correctly.
Apparently the serial kill had met an elderly woman at
the hospital and then was invited to stay at her
foster home. The woman's daughter would eventually alert police to
the issue. There's no way for me to prove to
you that this is real without quoting the article. The
New South Wales Government department was aware since December that
(08:17):
the pair the foster kids had been placed with the murderer.
A member of the public had contacted local radio station
two GB to report that a twelve year old and
a fourteen year old we're living with seventy nine year
old Regina Arthurrole, formerly known as Reginald Arthurrole, spent decades
in prison before being released and then somehow managed to
(08:37):
become a foster parent.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
How does that happen, Steve.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, this is Australia, so I'm sure things like this
happen here in the United States too, But how can
we tell that that's actually a man? Oh, the Adams
Apple gave it away. Probably the penis would be my
I'm not going down there to check that out. Besides
the whole x y chrome's own thing. James Regina, Yeah,
now it gives it away too. James is just a weird,
(09:05):
creepy dude. I do not get the appeal to this guy.
But one of the things he does that I think
upsets the Conservatives the Republicans the most. He seems to
do this thing where he'll take stuff out of the
Bible and then he'll make a point about modern day
liberal politics. He's like, you know, God asked for Mary's
consent before he impregnated her. Ergo vis a vice. Abortion
(09:28):
is okay with the Bible, Steve. A lot of radicals
do this. They'll they'll take scripture from all religions and
they'll they'll twist it to their own views. Yeah, that's
what you're seeing from Tall Rico right here. He also
says church in a church right. He also says often
likes to say Jesus is non binary, and then they
make this point that makes me think they've never read
(09:49):
the Bible. They're like, you know, his parents were illegal immigrants,
not James Jesus. Jesus's parents when they were going in
the story of the Birth of Jesus were on their
way to go participate in the census. That's how old
we've had That's how long we've had immigration laws for.
If you're going to participate in the census, by definition,
you're not an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Here's a moderate Texas Democrat, James Tallerico.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Did they teach you in Sunday School that Jesus Christ
himself was a radical feminist. God is both masculine and feminine,
or God and everything in between. God is non binary.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
We should treat our southern border like our front porch.
There should be a giant welcome matt out front.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Hey, and I want to posit it right there, Republicans.
This is something I don't like that Republicans do. This
is an edited clip. He said there should be a
giant welcome mat out front, and then there should be
a lock.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
On the door.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But Republicans see, this is Republicans doing what democrats do.
James has said enough crazy things that we don't need
to manipulate a sound bite.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
They do this.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You know, they did this to our buddy brain and
her era this week. What the can I say Nazis?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah? Can I say that on the Yeah? Of course
you could say Nazi?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Sure, yeah, I just can't hurt What would talk radio
be without Nazi?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Anwegib Well. They did this to Brandon explain it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, essentially he was just reading out of the mind
komf you know, sections of it and then like they'll say, oh,
he's supporting you know, Nazism and stuff like that. But
essentially he was calling them a retard.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Brandon is the equivalent.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
He's the official candidate now in South Texas to replace
Tony Gonzales for the Republicans. He's a prominent YouTuber. I
know most people watching us on social media know this.
And he has a channel where he talks about guns,
historical stuff. He shows you Soviet rifles and stuff, and
he did one episode about Nazi guns and in the
episode he talks about how much he hates Nazis. So
(11:48):
the Democrats edited this to make it look like he's
praising Nazis, and it managed to find its way to
Time magazine this week.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's how bro, So, I don't like it when we
do it or them, I think I totally agree, right
quick break, Hang on, that's a lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Molyrical I look, you just such a pie hole and
keep working.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Back to the pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Radios Happiness Badio and.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
A New Jersey Girl Scout troop set up a cookie
stand outside of a weed dispensary. They arrived in mom's minivan.
They left in a Brinks truck. That is just that
is just basic economics.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Kids. Let's talk a little bit about the economy right now.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Uh, there's a war going on in the Mideast, perhaps
you've heard, and uncertainty in the market causes volatility. I'm
sure you've all heard that before. So even though there
wasn't ever any shortage of oil and gas or petroleum
or whatever, the cost of its spiked and then it
went down. And you know, you work in Houston, Texas,
you've been following this pretty closely. I assume you have,
(12:50):
which is why a lot of attention is now being
turned to the railroad Commissioner's race fuel give me fog. Yeah,
if you in Texas long enough, if you live in Houston,
you know the railroad commissioner isn't really about the railroads,
is it. No, It's about pipelines, It's about oil and gas.
It's about movers and shakers in our energy industry. It's complicated,
(13:12):
but then again, it's not, at least it's not supposed
to be. My next guest is a candidate running for
Texas Railroad Commissioner. He's a friend of mine from social media.
You've probably seen he and I interact with each other
on Twitter before. He says a lot of controversial things
that upset people, but very rarely do I disagree with it.
It always amazes me when someone's making a point I
(13:32):
would have made, and then I read the comments and
everyone's getting mad about it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
It's like, oh wow, it's kind of hot in here
right now at any rate.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
My next guest is a lifelong Texan raised in the
heart of the Permian Basin, deep family ties to the
oil and gas industry spanning generations. A very successful entrepreneur
and investor, former chairman of the Arrant County Republican Party
now running for Texas Railroad Commissioner to champion American energy dominance,
cut the red tape for our operators, and keep Texas
(14:01):
leading the world in energy production. Welcome to the show,
mister Beaufrench.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Danny's so great to be here, and I'm loving your
bumper music.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Thanks man man. But let's start off with the stuff
that people criticize you over. You're very critical of Islam
in Texas, and you and I both know we both
made this point many times. Islam and Western society do
not correlate. They cannot live together in harmony. It's two
completely different sets of values to totally contradictory sets of beliefs.
(14:32):
And because you're very critical of it, people criticize you.
They're like, well, why are you running for railroad commissioner?
Then what do those two things have to do with
each other. I always thought that was a stupid thing
people criticize you for. But to anybody out there that wonders,
I'd just let you address it in your own words
right now.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, I think you know.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Look, I was the first elected official in Texas to
really raise the alarm on the Islamification of Texas, and
you're right. I was criticized for it, criticized for saying
a lot of things that are just objectively true, though,
and so I don't back down from it. I think
if you look at the landscape now, almost every politician
(15:09):
is talking about it. I mean, they're starting Sharia free caucuses.
You know, in both the Texas Legislature and in the
US Congress.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
We just passed.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
A resolution in the ballot initiative in the primary. You know,
over ninety something percent of ninety five percent I think
of Republican primary voters want to ban Sharia in Texas.
So this is an issue that is not just my opinion.
Listen to what these moms actually say. There's plenty of examples,
you know, on YouTube that you can go find of.
(15:39):
These are moms right here in Texas talking about how
they're going to force Islam into every single home in America.
This is their stated goal. Texas is ground zero for
this fight. There's a reason why all these people are
flocking here. And you know, the critics are like, well,
they're only you know, one percent of our population. Yeah,
But the problem is a big chunk of that one
(16:00):
percent is congregated. Here in Texas, they're building moss at
the rate of two per month. There's over three hundred
and thirty mosques now in Texas with more plan they're building,
you know, wanting to build these entire communities that are
that are no go zones for people who aren't of
Islamic faith. And so, you know, I've just been very clear.
I think that the workaround for this is Islam is
(16:23):
not a religion. It doesn't have First Amendment protections. I
believe it is a political structure, and I believe it
is a threat to our Western values.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
So I would agree with all that I think that,
and I don't understand why anyone would disagree with that.
I think one point that some of the hard line
Republicans make is like, well, why are you running for
railroad commissioner? Then if that's such an important issue.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
To you, Well, I think you can have lots of
important issues to you. That doesn't mean you would be
ineffective in a particular office. You know, I'm running for
railroad commissioner because it is an industry that I have
deep ties to. It's an industry where I make the
majority of my income from, and you know, I'm very
passionate about it, and I look at the landscape of
what's happened under the leadership of my opponent, who is,
(17:05):
by the way, the chairman of the Railroad Commission. You know,
he instituted the largest environmental regulations onto the oil and
gas industry in forty years maybe ever. And I would
argue they and they just went into effect in July,
by the way, so we really haven't felt the long
term effects of it. But you know, I've talked to
operators all over the state and they and they consistently
(17:26):
tell me that those new regulations that Jim spearheaded and
put into place last year are massively increasing the time
to get you know, oil produced, the cost to get
oil produced. And by the way, what does that do.
It makes it you have to have a higher oil
price in order for operators.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
To make money.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Well, if they're not making money, guess what, Texans lose
jobs and that's not good for our economy. So we
have to find the sweet spot, you know, the price
of oil that you know, producers can still make money
and employ people in Texas and consumers you know, are
aren't paying you know, out the nose for high gas prices,
so there is a balance in there. But by increasing
(18:09):
operating costs, you raise that threshold, which is not good
for Texas. So look, I'm Texas first, I'm America first.
I think we ought to be implementing policies that encourage
job growth, that encourage our producers and allow everybody to
make money, the producers, the people you know working in
the oil fields, and you know, keep a price that
(18:31):
is good for consumers also, So there is that balance
that I would strive to fight for. Look, I'm also
a landowner. I'm a rancher. I have a ranch right
in the middle of an oil field. It's not like
I'm against regulations, but you know, we have to right
size those regulations so that we don't hamstring our producers.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, I think it's a great answer BO.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And you know, to anybody out there that does criticize
BO for talking about controversial subjects, there's a reason he
goes viral on social media all the time. There's a
reason why people know his name, and there's a reason
why he's in a runoff right now. At the end
of the day, people vote for candidates they know they
know who BO is because he's out talking about hot
button issues.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Let's talk about this for a minute.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I noticed when it comes to eminent domain, liberals want
eminent domain. They support it so they can get a
high speed rail halfway between Houston and Dallas, Texas. I
never understood why we needed that, but it's very important
to them to take away land from ranch owners who
have existed in the state for generations. Republicans, so called conservatives,
support eminent domain when it comes to these pipeline build
(19:30):
I'm all about energy independence, support the energy industry, but
for me personally, I think not at the cost of
you know, people's livelihood or generational land.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Where do you stand on that?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Yeah, I mean generally speaking, I am not a big
fan of imminent domain, but there are times, you know,
when it is appropriate. But there is a way that
it can be done. You know that that benefits everybody.
I mean, there is a you know, we have to
build certain infrastructure in pipelines are obviously critical. I have
friends in the in the you know, I know people
(20:02):
who are involved in the in the high speed rail,
you know, space as well, and so you know, I
understand that like people want these some people want these projects,
some people need these projects. But you have to balance
those needs with you know, existing landowners and so you
know I'm as a landowner, uh and as a landowner
who has pipelines but property in fact, you know, this
(20:24):
is something that I've had to wrestle with as well.
So you know, it is it is something that that
is delicate. You know, I lean towards the imminent domain
is not a good thing. But I also lean towards
you know, there is a price at which you know
things things I always say, you know, everything is for
sale for the right price.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
You and I both have a mutual friend on social media.
Jack Posobek and other America First Patriots been a big
supporter of Paxton. It always kind of annoys me when
people come to Texas and they'll make comments like they
don't understand the point of Buckey's or whatever. I saw
you schooling Jack on why BUCkies beats everything else, clean bathrooms, brisket.
(21:03):
If you're deregulating oil and gas to lower prices, does
that mean more affordable road trips to BUCkies? Are you
planning a Bucki's Energy Independence Act?
Speaker 6 (21:12):
I mean, who doesn't love BUCkies? And you know, Jack
and I have a great relationship. We toy back and
forth with each other on social media. But you know
he's a big fan of Wawall. I've never been to
a Wallesce. I don't really know. But you know, BUCkies
is uh, this is Texas and I you know, everything's
bigger and better in Texas and Buckets fits that bill.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
There's like this cottage industry of social media influencers who
come to Texas. They'll go to BUCkies. They make the
same video. I don't see what the big deal is. Yeah,
I'm sorry. We have a roadside oasis that's not for
hookers and heroin addicts and it's not. And you could
buy a surfboard and Ajara jelly for your mom.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Both French. Before we get out of here, I'm gonna
let you get the last word. Go ahead, brother, Yeah.
In fact, you've inspired me. I'm gonna run by BUCkies
and go buy a barbecue pit right now. So I
appreciate you having me.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
On the Listen.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
This is Texas. Oil and gas is national security. It's
why Trump is focused on Venezuela and Iran.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
It's why they.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Announced yesterday this huge new project in Brownsville's first refinery
in American fifty years. We have to focus on energy
dominance here in Texas, and I'm the candidate for that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Bo is the disruptor that we need right now. There's
probably nobody on the current commission who I would endorse.
I am endorsing Bau. Friends, I encourage you all to
go vote for him in this runoff, and vote for
Paxton too.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
I'm not a fan of the government doing anything.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
This is the pursuit of happiness Radio on KPRC AM

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Stock market has been volatile this week. I think that's
the understatement of the century. Your dollar buys less every day.
It's like inflation's got a black card and zero self control.
If the whole system pulls a plot twist and breaks,
stocks won't be your lifeline. Your lifeline is gold and silver.
There'll be the dynamic duo riding in on a horseback yelling, hey,
(22:59):
calm down, buddy, We've got this. Banks and billionaires know
what I'm talking about. Hedge fund investors, yeah, they already know.
Silver is the secret recipe right now. It used to
be just used for jewelry. Now they're using it in
everything from solar panels, evs AI brains, defense toys, you
name it. You need to call Deer Capital now for
your free gold and silver investment kit. You could snag
(23:22):
up to twenty thousand dollars in bonus coins with a
qualified purchase real metal real protection dial. Eight hundred three

six four nine two zero zero for Lear Capital. Eight

this is interesting. US Olympic hockey star Jack Hughes says
(23:44):
he's gonna get his broken teeth fixed.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Well, that's great. Your remove Michael Strahan.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Sticker shock at this chevron a gallon eight dollars and
twenty one cents. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa? What
are you playing audio for? That's a news report from California.
Stickers show at this chevron a gallon eight dollars and
twenty one cents.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Insane work, it's too high.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I definitely will be coming here for that. And I
just actually could not believe my eyes when I saw
that eight dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Wow, this is unbelievable. This is ABC News in Los Angeles.
They say, the gas prices in California are now topping
eight dollars per gallon, and they want to blame the
Iranian War for this. But guys, I gotta tell you something.
I live in Houston, gas right down the street from here, somewhere.
I think a little under three dollars. Look, I think
(24:33):
that's too high, frankly, but there's no shortage of oil
right now. There's just a lot of uncertainty in the market.
So look, I'm not a genius at figuring out why
California's prices are so different than ours. But I know
somebody who is. Well, he lives there. He's a pretty
bright guy. Joining us now, the very talented and insightful
host of The Real Story on One American News Network.
(24:54):
He is a California native, sharp analysis, on wavering commitment
to uncovering the truth, dynamic prison presence on TV all
over the country every day, and quickly becoming a standout
voice in conservative journalism, delivering hard hitting stories and bold perspectives.
Welcome to the show right now, Riley Lewis of One
America News Network. Riley, thanks for joining us, my man.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
My brother, thank you for having me, and you are
so right it's Look, there's a story there, but I
can assure you California's problems to gas prices it is
not because of Operation Epic Fury. It is because of
one man, Gavin Newsom would love to talk about it,
but just wanted to set the record straight there.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, right now in Houston we're paying three ZHO five
and then around the rest of the state of Texas
somewhere like three point thirteen. This idea that gas has
to be eight dollars per g I mean, I just
got to assume if what they're saying is the truth,
if it's all about Epic Fury, it must be true.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
But it's not.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
It's a complete lie, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
It is, And that's not even the case everywhere. Look,
if you're in La or San Francisco, or Oakland or Berkeley,
or even maybe some parts of San Diego County, your
gas prices are high because of taxes. It's not about Iran,
not the Iapola, not President Trump or Pete Heegsas or
Micro Rubio, who I think as a future president. It
(26:20):
is because of your local government, your mayor, your city council,
your county wide officials, and of course Gavenuwsom. On average,
in California, we pay at least a dollar and nine
cents more than the national average for a gallon of gas,
and that is because of state level taxes. Then if
you're in Los Angeles, you have your LA county tax,
(26:41):
county wide, your gas tax. Then we have the war
against oil refineries. Unlike what you see in Texas, in
California oil refineries are under attack, and recently some of
them even just sent a letter to Gavin Newsom saying
that business is becoming untenable here and they will have
to lead the state if things don't change. So this
(27:02):
is about a war on the fossil fuel industry, not
about a war against the Ayatola.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, okay, so I just read today that Kawasaki's North
American headquarters is leaving California to go to Georgia. We've
seen other ones too, Obviously, Tesla came to Texas, Oracle
came to Texas, Chevron Chevron was in the Bay Area,
came to Texas. Hewlett Packard, Charles Schwab, X SpaceX Public Storage,
(27:29):
just so many examples of this.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
The list goes on and on.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I got to assume that the leaders in California understand why.
I have to assume the voters understand why. So presumably
in your state over there, California, beautiful place, do people
see the.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Writing on the wall?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I mean jobs are leaving, companies are leaving, people are leaving.
Obviously they must be changing their economic strategy, right, Yes.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
And it's becoming very difficult. Look at as you mentioned earlier,
I'm a native here. I'm born and raised here. I've
had family here for over one hundred years, going back
to the early nineteen hundreds, and maybe even before then.
I've had family all over the state. I have family
in the Bay Area of San Francisco, Los Angeles, San
Diego County, myself born and raised. Everybody's talking about the
cost of living. Everybody's talking about affordability. And it's not
(28:18):
just gas. It's food, it's healthcare, it's clothing, it's the
cost of a decent education. And more people are worried
about that because public schools are becoming untenable. So private
school is the name of the game, and private school
is extremely expensive. It's running a business here, it's your payroll, taxes,
it's the minimum wage. It all goes back to a
(28:40):
gross level of mismanagement and corruption. And the problem for
California as a state is that it's a leaky bucket,
right because on one hand, the state's coffers are empty.
They are deeply in debt, billions and billions of dollars
in debt because we spend money on things like healthcare
for illegal immigrants. At the same time, Kenny, they want
(29:01):
to spend money on fraud. We have all these fraudulent
issues with hosta centers and daycare centers all up and
down the state. So we're going into people's pockets. We're
gouging people. Everybody feels it. Democrats too. The question is
will this problem be enough to motivate people to change
their behavior at the ballot box? Will people vote for
(29:23):
Steve Hilton? Will they vote for Chad Bianco? In November,
we have two Republicans who are running for governor. We
have a jingle primary here in California, so it's possible
they will both advance to the general election.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
And that's an open question.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
But everybody feels that, everybody sees that, everybody knows what
the problem is. I just don't know if it's going
to be enough of a motivating factor for people to
physically change their voting behavior. But I am hoping and
praying for that to happen, because this once glorious state
is kind of on its last legs.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I love in a city where there's not a lot
of homeless, particularly because we don't allow it.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Public cana bing zillegal here in Houston.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
When I go to Austin or San Antonio, sometimes I'm
surprised at how many homeless people I see.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
But boy, you guys, we got nothing on you guys.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I just read this news story about a place called
Downey City, which I'm told as part of the Los
Angeles area. This guy's standing at an EVY charging station
and as he's standing there, a homeless guy comes up
and stabs him fatally. By the way the end of
the little foreshit, he dies at the end of the story,
So his family calls a paramedic. The EMT comes, and
while they're dealing with the guy and rushing him over
(30:29):
to the ambulance, suddenly they look around. They cannot find
the ambulance. The ambulance is gone, and they realize another
homeless guy drove off in the ambulance, so they couldn't
get this guy to the hospital fast enough, so he died.
Do people in La do the southern California? Are they
not mad about stuff like this this? If this happened
in Houston, it'd be the only thing you hear about,
(30:51):
But in California it feels like this is a footnote
in the news.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Well, i'm body, he said that. I'm sure everybody would
be mad about it, But a lot of people don't know.
La County has ten million people, and a lot of
people in that county are because of the cost of living,
they're working multiple jobs all the time, and they just
don't pay attention. So this is an issue of the
low information voter. It's not the people want't be mad,
(31:17):
it's that they don't know. They're not mad because they
have no idea what's going on. And there's so many
stories just like that one that happened in La. It
just gets you know, lost in the wash a little bit.
But it's really bad, and you hear similar stories about
homeless encampments around all over southern California in the Bay Area.
I mean open air drug markets, people living in their
(31:39):
own feces, he used needles on the ground. It's really
really bad, and so much so that even Barack Obama
is now hitting Gavin Newsom on it.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
So that should tell us.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Something, Right, Kevin Newsom is supposedly trying to pivot to
the middle now, and I don't think it's working.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Apparently he's made some he's made some adjustment.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm told he's trying to make himself sound like more
of a moderate because obviously he's running for president now,
and so liberals who used to love him just a
few years ago are now criticizing the guy. He did
this interview with Katie Kuric recently, and a lot of
people have heard the part of the interview where she says, oh,
are you too handsome to be president? It's like, all right,
(32:20):
calm down, Katie. But then in the same interview she does.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
This, the highest poverty rate tied with Louisiana, the highest unemployment,
and as Nick Christoph of The New York Times recently wrote,
Mississippi schools outperformed California schools, especially for poor kids. Now
people see that or hear that or read that, and
they're like, no thanks California, No thanks, Gavin Newsome, We're good.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah, Well, the poverty rate is you're talking about the
supplemental poverty rate.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Now, yeah, he's going to get into some semantics here
about the poverty rate. But it's like, all right, So
these states in the South that were always known for
being poor and having bad education are suddenly improving at
a time when California is plummeting. Riley, I'm gonna let
you get the last word here. What are your thoughts
on this?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Look? Look, it is managed decline.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Gavin Newsom, his cronies and his administration, the corrupt cronies,
and Sacramento, where Democrats have a super majority sixty of
eighty House seats, They are opting for decline because they
don't truly care about the people of the state. They
care about one thing. It's the only thing they think about.
They're obsessed with it, they're fixated on it. They dream
(33:29):
of it morning, noon, and night. They just want power,
and they don't want the responsibility that comes with power.
So if Gavin Newsom thinks he has a snowballs chance
in hell of becoming the next president of this country,
he better think twice. He's chased out job creators, investors, inventors,
life long Californians to Texas. Here state Tennessee, Florida, Montana, Idaho.
(33:56):
The list goes on and on and on. This is
a cationary tale of what happens when you give Democrats power,
because radical Democrats cannot govern. So please heed my warning.
This is happening in Virginia too, with span Berger. It's
happening in New York with Kathy Hochel and Zoorn Mamdani.
What's happening to California can happen everywhere. Get the say
(34:20):
back pasted. Okay, we need to win the mid terms.
We cannot give Democrats another inch because they will use
it to ruin this great nation. California is not a
lost cause, but it's run by communists who are incompetent
and corrupt, and they are rarely, if ever held accountable.
We have an incredibly important race in November to Republicans
(34:43):
running to replace Newsom. He's being turned out and Newsom's
legacy will be taking one of the greatest states in
the whole country and turning it into an unlivable, unaffordable,
unsafe wasteland. That is Davin Newsom's legacy. That is Daven
Neusm's legacy.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Guys, that is the voice of Riley Lewis.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
You could check him out weekdays, The Real Story on
One American News Network six pm Eastern time. I guess
it'd be on it three pm Pacific time. I'd put
it on at five pm our time here in Texas
Live dot o ann dot com.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Check it out. Riley, Thank you so much for your
time this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
The unofficial California correspondent for KPRC Radio and the Walton
Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Thank you, Robert.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
This is Binney sent this and you are listening to
the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. Now give me all of
your money, because that's the only thing that's fair, all right.
Paul McCartney says he's thankful he made up with John
Lennon before John was killed. Paul McCartney also started looking
like a grandma after he died. If John Lennon came
(35:48):
back to life right now, would he even recognize Paul?
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Maybe not?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
What is this deal where like elderly rock musicians turn
into old ladies? You know, Steven Tyler, that's who else
that I mentioned. That's the ultimate example. Lady we've all seen,
I know, and you know you wrote that song about
Motley Crue.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Oh that's that's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
The whole premise of that song is funny because you
think it's about transgenders, but it's about how rock stars
were like getting so I don't know what the word feminine, Yeah,
whatever the word would be, uh true, I don't know. Yeah,
well it was before metrosexualism. Androgynous they were in I
think that would have been the term. And they were like,
all right, Aerosmith, we all got long hair and everything
(36:26):
and where you know, gaudy jewelry, but Motley Crue.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Look at these guys. These are the freaks, am I right?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Right? Yeah, they're all tatted up, smoking cigarettes on stage.
And yeah, you know they got rid of Aerosmith's roller
coaster at MGM Studios or whatever they call now Disney
Hollywood Studios. Did you know that in Orlando? No, they
got rid of the ride right after a book was published.
This happened like a year or two ago, and they
just did it very quietly. They didn't tell anyone the
Aerosmith had a ride there. Did you know that that
(36:54):
they had to roll it? Yeah, Aerosmith had to roll
it while you're waiting in line, you're in, you're in
Aerosmith's recording studio, and you see like a video of
them and anyway, it's you know, love and a roller
coaster is what it's called, which is weird because it's
a children's ride that's named after having sex with a
stranger on an elevator. But that's besides the point. But
there was a point where it became too much for Disney.
Someone wrote a book detailing how Stephen Tyler and all
(37:16):
the guys in Aerosmith, when they were in their twenties
were traveling around the country with girls as young as
fourteen or thirteen. Stephen Tyler was even the official guardian
of one of them because her mom was a rocker
fan or some weird thing like that. Clearly they were
having sex with these young young women. I mean, if
you're grossed out by the Epstein files, I give you
(37:39):
not only exhibit A with the Aerosmith right, which is
at the time wasn't controversial at all interesting, but even
more even weirder than that. If you're bothered by the
Epstein Files, have you heard about Muslims?
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Yes, it's like their.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Whole thing right in the book they had a AI
show was his six year old child bride.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I think six is too young, Steve. Yeah, probably that's
just me.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Look, I don't want to upset the audience or whatever,
but I think if your bride is six years old,
it's too young. Wait, I think twenty years would be
if we could elevate this conversation. Let's talk about Stephen
Tyler's daughter Live. Oh, I love Live Tyler gorgeous. Yeah,
she's I'm a been a fan of Wow. Does everybody
remember in the nineties he started using his daughter in
his music videos.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Oh yeah, and people didn't know who she was at first.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
They're like, whoa, I bet Steven Tyler's giving it to
this chick.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah, it was like, actually, actually, that's his daughter.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
In the nineties, there was a brief period where, like
the sixties seventies, rock music made a comeback, not only
Aerosmith because they had a bunch of hits on MTV
in the nineties. Uh, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Last
Dance with Mary Jane. That was forgot that the grunge
era loved that music. Is there the equivalent of that
today where all of a sudden, I guess deftnes Deaftnes
(38:54):
have some hits on the radio, now, yeah, I mean
it's kind of depressing, like whenever you're rolling up right
and like a lot of the artists that you love
are like mainstream, sure, and then you start hearing them
on classic rock, right, I know, yeah, it's terrib But
then on the other hand, it's like they you know,
Pearl Jam, congratulations, you're considered a classic now. Well, nineties
nostalgia is hot right now, and you and I both
(39:16):
remember the nineties we were little kids. Then we're back
to a point now where Bill Clinton is lying in
front of Congress about his sex.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Life and sexual relations with that woman. Let me get
a different clip on the screen real quick. Did Bill Clinton? Bill?
We all know what happened in that hearing? Did you
have you?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Kept up with his questions on Epstein? And there were
some gotcha moments. The most interesting thing to me, I think,
was this moment where he realized he could have sex
with Nancy Mace.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I didn't. I didn't say anything for anything. Oh you didn't.
But you have a great tone in your voice, and.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I'll take that as a compliment.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
It is a cop thank you. And I did not
put a yell lost or any laschool for that matter.
You see Bill starts flirting with Nancy.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Did you see his lawyer, let me rewind it for
those watching us on the line, look at his lawyer
lean over. He's like, Bill, knock at the f off, bro,
You're not helping the case here about it at all. But
did you see that at the end when he was
holding the coffee mug, like how he was shaking like, oh,
she's in.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Well she's in.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Yeah, Well, dude, Bill's no h You know, he's played
this game before. Bill has been to the hen House
a time or two. He also got to wonder, do
you notice that Bill and Trump are both kind of
defending each other lately? Have you caught little glimpses of
that in the news where like Bill's defending Trump? Yeah,
he's he has never been to the island and vice versa.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah. You know, do you think the.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Two of them like went Chinese finger traps on one
of the You know, oh, man, I'm a very visual
person and I totally visualize on it. I hate you
now and I work in radio, So it's not a
coincidence that I had that up here.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
I had that in the chamber ready to go. If
you will.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Hey, all that being said, did Bill try to kill
his wife? There's this video that's gone viral of the
two of them walking through traffic together. Hang on, I
think I'm still playing the other sound bite. Let me
stop that real quick. Oh yeah, sorry about that? Oh boy,
you do? You gotta love Nancy Mace. All right, hang on,
let me turn this back up. Bill Clinton's walking through traffic.
(41:11):
I feel like right around here there's a video that
he pushes he pushes Hillary. Look, he's pushing her into traffic.
Did Bill try to murder his wife?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
On camera?
Speaker 2 (41:22):
And he's got all these secret service agents and handlers
and they're in New York City. So in New York
City even Bill Clinton and Hillary can kind of disappear
into the background a little bit. For those of you
that are listening on the radio, go look at my
live stream right now or Steve's live stream. It's on
my ex account. So I have two things on this, please.
Clinton was almost Clinton sided.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Wow. Good's crazy?
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah, I mean, and Hillary very much now resembles Kim
Jong Um. Wow, she really does dress like it. And
they have the same body type. Oh hero, Now that
I think about it's still actually have a third thing,
I've never seen the two of them in the same
place at the same time. Have you ever seen Kim
Jong Un with Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Me?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Neither. So there's your proof.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
And a third thing, that's probably the first time in
a very long time that Bill has rammed Hillary from
behind like that.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
Oh yeah, I gotta be Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
They say that they're gonna get held in contempt if
they don't testify in front of the Epstein Committee.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
But Hillary and Bill been holding each other in contempt
for thirty years. I mean, what do they care? You
know what I mean exactly? They're great, just a fun couple.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
While we're in New York City talking about the latest
news terror attack outside the Mayor's mansion. You may have
seen this, and CNN tried their darnedest to blame it.
They actually, did you see the tweet that they deleted.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
They did not. They had a tweet.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
They had a whole thing they did where they wrote
a story about these two teenagers from Mid East to well,
they're from Pennsylvania, but their parents are from Afghanistan and
they were just out for a nice day in New
York City when suddenly they came upon this protest and
felt the urge to do some terrorism.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
It was almost like the article was.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Supposed to say, Wow, they wouldn't have been terrorists if
not for Maga exactly.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
And then the other guy from that story.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Everyone's heard the story now about out that Jake Lang,
the guy that organized the protest. Right now he's being
accused of chatting with a fifteen year old trying to
groom a fifteen year old girl.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah, I saw both sides of that argument. What what
are the two sides of.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
So one side is you know that these are text
messages that essentially that Jake Lang was contacting an underage
girl and like grooming her.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
And the other was entrapmant like they tricked him into it.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Or so there was a communication with Jake Lang and
Alex Rosen.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
You know that guy. I know it.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
He's been on this show. Okay, so yes, we know Alex. Yes,
he's a local guys. He has a thing called predator poachers.
It's very controversial. He has, to his point, sent dozens
of pedophiles to prison. But then he says on savory
things on social media that make people.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
More all the time. Yeah, the hard are you could
say retard? Oh no, oh, oh the end bomb.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah. No, yeah, that's a little much. I don't know
if my sponsors are going to appreciate that. No, I
don't think so.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
No, But yeah, so he.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Jake was communicating with Alex saying, hey, look here's all
the messages and it's my team, and essentially they were
trying to honeypot him.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
You think so they were trying to entrap him? Is
that it?
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Well, I don't know what the truth is. I'm just
I'm kind of on the fence on that one. My
position on it is this, if somebody comes up to
you and they're like, hey, I think you're very handsome.
I'd like to hang and you go, I need you
to be eighteen years old and she says I'm almost eighteen.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Still don't do it. That would be my position. That's
my no.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I always feel like as a single guy, in a
middle aged man, it's like anyone under twenty five, it's like,
all right, you meet a twenty two year old girl
at a bar, Well, she might as well just be
a very attractive toddler, because you're not gonna have a
conversation with a twenty two year old she's retarded.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
Absolutely, you would talk to a twenty two year old.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Dude, like yeah, I mean, you know, like in conversation.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
They have No. I don't think curity level is just
not there.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
It's women can't learn to form complete sentences until they're
twenty five. I mean they just can't. It's try talking
to a twenty three year old. They're not going to
say anything that interesting. All women at the age of
twenty four they go to a learning school or a
learning school. I'm just yeah, they go to the right now,
the Learing Center. Yes, absolutely, Hey, I'll tell you what
we're gonna do. A little bonus round coming up in
(45:31):
just a short time here on social media, So if
you're watching us on social media, stick around for that.
And to the rest of you that have been enjoining
us on the radio this whole time, you stick around
because our good friend Jimmy Barrett is going to be
coming up right after this.
Speaker 3 (45:48):
We love you all. I'll be back bright and early
tomorrow morning. From what you bought a radio for.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Michael Jackson was reportedly taught to moonwalk by an eight
year old boy and for more uplifting stories about Michael
Jackson and children and I I think that's actually it.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Steve, Steve loves him. I was in the building right now.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
What's good, bro, Warning, buddy, greetings, my man, I was
out there. You and I are old enough. You're you're
a couple of years younger than me. We're basically elder
wise elder millennials. Yes, I'm so old. I can remember
a time when I was a little kid where people
would argue over who was cooler, Prince or Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm gonna go with Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Michael Jackson, yes, because think about a Super Bowl halftime show.
He was there and stood silent for two minutes, and
that everyone's cheering the entire time. I don't think Prince
can pull that off. That's true, but that was before
we knew there was a thing that we learned about Michael.
After that happened, that kind of changed our perspective. I
don't know how true all of that is. Do you
(01:16):
have you ever heard like the neo Nazis like Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Have you ever heard this?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
They think that his pedophilia was a conspiracy theory created
by the Jews in the banking industry because he criticized
Jewish people kick me, pick me up? You know that song,
there's a song where he uses the Jewish slur. I
don't think I could say it on the radio. Probably
they don't really care about us. And then they changed
(01:43):
the lyrics because he was apparently critical of Judaism.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
They say that he wasn't really a pedophile. I think
I think he was. I don't know. He had maybe
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Man, he had a like a treehouse and never land
ranch where he would take kids that he didn't know.
I mean, how many underage kids have slept over at
your house that weren't like your children's friends?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Zoro for me?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Sure, I haven't had anyone? Okay to s all right?
Steve loves Amo for those who don't know that is.
Steve is a prominent conservative influencer on social medias a
great at tweeting. He's also a military veteran, a good American,
And he and I are both proud supporters of Ken
Paxton in this runoff. And we're gen x light. Yeah,
(02:26):
gen x light, that's true. We're both xenials. We're older millennials.
Like wise, elder millennials. They cause, uh interact to polls.
As a polling data that's come out now, and what
it says is that even if Trump endorses cornn Paxton
still wins. If Trump endorses Paxton, Paxton destroys Cornin. If
(02:46):
Trump endorses corny In, Packston probably still wins by eight points,
so not quite double digits, but probably within the margin
of error there where he'd win. No matter what, I
generally find when there's a surrogate on social media, when
there's somebody on social media who really likes Corning, it's
almost like a prominent you know, conservative podcast. It's always
(03:06):
a guy in DC or Austin. It's never a guy
in Waco. It's never some oil guy on the Permian basin. Right, Yeah,
you see it too, Yeah, absolutely, man. And just this
goes to show you how much support Ken Paxton has
in the state of Texas and not John Cornyn. Well,
because Ken Paxton is actually here in Texas and not
you know, suit and tie walking down the streets of
(03:28):
DC all day, you know, collecting money being a uniparty
deep stater. Okay, So it's my understanding that I'm not
like an election rule expert or whatever, but I always
I look this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You can vote in the because of open primaries, Democrats
can vote in the runoff as long as they didn't
vote in the primary. So if you voted for Crocket
or Tallarico, forget it, you're out of this. But if
you forgot to show up on primary day, and now
this is all people are talking about, you can come
out and vote for corn if you're a Democrat.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Do you think they will? Oh? Yes, absolutely for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I Mean that's how Crenshaw stated and for so long,
gotta be if there's a person on the Democrat ticket
people actually care about, they're less likely to vote in
a Republican primary.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But this is there.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But what there's nobody in a Democrat runoff state wide.
There's zero people in a Democrat runoff state wide, So
why would you care? Well, what I'm seeing is well,
Texas be an open primary. I guarantee you. Tall Rico
and their minions are looking at this and they see
that if Trump endorses Cornyn, there's a one point difference, Right,
(04:36):
So there's going to be a campaign to get the
people that didn't vote in the primary in the runoff
to vote for John Cornyn.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I've got to assume that most people realize, including James Tallerrico,
he's not gonna win. There's just not enough Republicans say
if they'll tell you, they're like, oh, you know, look
how many Democrats voted in this primary. Yeah, but there's
no historical proof that the party that gets the most
votes in the prime mary gets the most votes in
the general election. Frequently the opposite, right, is the case,
(05:04):
because people just don't feel the need.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
To come out and vote for the incumbent candidate in
the primary. What do they care? But they'll come out
and vote for him in the general election exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, so I got to assume Abbot skates right into
a victory. The other thing I saw today that I
thought was funny.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Was a rolls into a victory.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Democrats, Yes, yes, thank you, look fair? Yeah, okay, hey,
he's just being accurate here. The other thing I thought
today was very funny is I see Democrats now saying
that Doc Pete Chambers supporters are going to vote for
are going to vote against Abbot, that they'll vote for
the Democrat candidate. I'm sorry. They didn't vote for Abbot
because he wasn't conservative enough. Now they're going to vote
(05:42):
for the Democrat. I have a hard time believing that.
It seems like a weird sigh up. That would be
like if John Cornyn were to win the primary or
not the primary, sorry, the runoff, that conservatives would vote
for taller Rico. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make any sense. No, why would you vote
for tall Rico? Can we talk about Tallerico for just
(06:03):
a second. We are Steve and I because we live
in Texas, but we keep up with national politics. I've
known who James Tallerico is for a while and he
always reminded me of the guy from the mad Max
magazine covers. To me, the mad magazine covers, not Mad Max.
I don't know why I threw that by the ginger guy. Yeah, well,
his name's Alfred y Newman. I think is and they
do look an awful lot alike. Once you see it,
(06:24):
you can't unsee it. But James has built a career
off of being a hero to the far left, and
now they're trying to market him as a moderate. So
he's hoping that sound bites like this will disappear.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
They won't. Here's James Tallerico doing an interview.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Something that you love that's not family or friends.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I love.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I'm just saying this because it's on my mind.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
The trans children who.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Showed up yesterday at the state Capitol.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
All right, so James loves trans kids. You and I
made this point before the show. If your political movement
depends on you spending time alone with other people's children
in order for the revolution to happen, you're a krumer in,
a pedophile. I mean that's a big red flag, right.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'm glad we have all these sound bites because the
internet is forever, and him trying to push to be
the more moderate position, kind of like how Gavin Newsom
is trying to build my opinion he's going to run
for president. I just want to give people an example
of what happens when a society becomes more comfortable with
the trans movement. Let me put something on the screen
(07:34):
here for everybody. By the way, to those of you
listening to us on the radio, we're live streaming right
now on steve'sax account, among other places. This actually happened
in Australia. Foster care children were put in a house
with a transgender serial killer. Vulnerable foster care children replaced
with state ministers have apologized after the calamity was exposed
(07:55):
by a member of the general public. You heard that correctly.
Apparently the serial kill had met an elderly woman at
the hospital and then was invited to stay at her
foster home. The woman's daughter would eventually alert police to
the issue. There's no way for me to prove to
you that this is real without quoting the article. The
New South Wales Government department was aware since December that
(08:17):
the pair the foster kids had been placed with the murderer.
A member of the public had contacted local radio station
two GB to report that a twelve year old and
a fourteen year old we're living with seventy nine year
old Regina Arthurrole, formerly known as Reginald Arthurrole, spent decades
in prison before being released and then somehow managed to
(08:37):
become a foster parent.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
How does that happen, Steve.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, this is Australia, so I'm sure things like this
happen here in the United States too, But how can
we tell that that's actually a man? Oh, the Adams
Apple gave it away. Probably the penis would be my
I'm not going down there to check that out. Besides
the whole x y chrome's own thing. James Regina, Yeah,
now it gives it away too. James is just a weird,
(09:05):
creepy dude. I do not get the appeal to this guy.
But one of the things he does that I think
upsets the Conservatives the Republicans the most. He seems to
do this thing where he'll take stuff out of the
Bible and then he'll make a point about modern day
liberal politics. He's like, you know, God asked for Mary's
consent before he impregnated her. Ergo vis a vice. Abortion
(09:28):
is okay with the Bible, Steve. A lot of radicals
do this. They'll they'll take scripture from all religions and
they'll they'll twist it to their own views. Yeah, that's
what you're seeing from Tall Rico right here. He also
says church in a church right. He also says often
likes to say Jesus is non binary, and then they
make this point that makes me think they've never read
(09:49):
the Bible. They're like, you know, his parents were illegal immigrants,
not James Jesus. Jesus's parents when they were going in
the story of the Birth of Jesus were on their
way to go participate in the census. That's how old
we've had That's how long we've had immigration laws for.
If you're going to participate in the census, by definition,
you're not an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Here's a moderate Texas Democrat, James Tallerico.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Did they teach you in Sunday School that Jesus Christ
himself was a radical feminist. God is both masculine and feminine,
or God and everything in between. God is non binary.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
We should treat our southern border like our front porch.
There should be a giant welcome matt out front.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Hey, and I want to posit it right there, Republicans.
This is something I don't like that Republicans do. This
is an edited clip. He said there should be a
giant welcome mat out front, and then there should be
a lock.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
On the door.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But Republicans see, this is Republicans doing what democrats do.
James has said enough crazy things that we don't need
to manipulate a sound bite.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
They do this.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You know, they did this to our buddy brain and
her era this week. What the can I say Nazis?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah? Can I say that on the Yeah? Of course
you could say Nazi?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Sure, yeah, I just can't hurt What would talk radio
be without Nazi?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Anwegib Well. They did this to Brandon explain it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, essentially he was just reading out of the mind
komf you know, sections of it and then like they'll say, oh,
he's supporting you know, Nazism and stuff like that. But
essentially he was calling them a retard.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Brandon is the equivalent.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
He's the official candidate now in South Texas to replace
Tony Gonzales for the Republicans. He's a prominent YouTuber. I
know most people watching us on social media know this.
And he has a channel where he talks about guns,
historical stuff. He shows you Soviet rifles and stuff, and
he did one episode about Nazi guns and in the
episode he talks about how much he hates Nazis. So
(11:48):
the Democrats edited this to make it look like he's
praising Nazis, and it managed to find its way to
Time magazine this week.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's how bro, So, I don't like it when we
do it or them, I think I totally agree, right
quick break, Hang on, that's a lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Molyrical I look, you just such a pie hole and
keep working.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Back to the pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Radios Happiness Badio and.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
A New Jersey Girl Scout troop set up a cookie
stand outside of a weed dispensary. They arrived in mom's minivan.
They left in a Brinks truck. That is just that
is just basic economics.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Kids. Let's talk a little bit about the economy right now.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Uh, there's a war going on in the Mideast, perhaps
you've heard, and uncertainty in the market causes volatility. I'm
sure you've all heard that before. So even though there
wasn't ever any shortage of oil and gas or petroleum
or whatever, the cost of its spiked and then it
went down. And you know, you work in Houston, Texas,
you've been following this pretty closely. I assume you have,
(12:50):
which is why a lot of attention is now being
turned to the railroad Commissioner's race fuel give me fog. Yeah,
if you in Texas long enough, if you live in Houston,
you know the railroad commissioner isn't really about the railroads,
is it. No, It's about pipelines, It's about oil and gas.
It's about movers and shakers in our energy industry. It's complicated,
(13:12):
but then again, it's not, at least it's not supposed
to be. My next guest is a candidate running for
Texas Railroad Commissioner. He's a friend of mine from social media.
You've probably seen he and I interact with each other
on Twitter before. He says a lot of controversial things
that upset people, but very rarely do I disagree with it.
It always amazes me when someone's making a point I
(13:32):
would have made, and then I read the comments and
everyone's getting mad about it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
It's like, oh wow, it's kind of hot in here
right now at any rate.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
My next guest is a lifelong Texan raised in the
heart of the Permian Basin, deep family ties to the
oil and gas industry spanning generations. A very successful entrepreneur
and investor, former chairman of the Arrant County Republican Party
now running for Texas Railroad Commissioner to champion American energy dominance,
cut the red tape for our operators, and keep Texas
(14:01):
leading the world in energy production. Welcome to the show,
mister Beaufrench.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Danny's so great to be here, and I'm loving your
bumper music.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Thanks man man. But let's start off with the stuff
that people criticize you over. You're very critical of Islam
in Texas, and you and I both know we both
made this point many times. Islam and Western society do
not correlate. They cannot live together in harmony. It's two
completely different sets of values to totally contradictory sets of beliefs.
(14:32):
And because you're very critical of it, people criticize you.
They're like, well, why are you running for railroad commissioner?
Then what do those two things have to do with
each other. I always thought that was a stupid thing
people criticize you for. But to anybody out there that wonders,
I'd just let you address it in your own words
right now.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, I think you know.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Look, I was the first elected official in Texas to
really raise the alarm on the Islamification of Texas, and
you're right. I was criticized for it, criticized for saying
a lot of things that are just objectively true, though,
and so I don't back down from it. I think
if you look at the landscape now, almost every politician
(15:09):
is talking about it. I mean, they're starting Sharia free caucuses.
You know, in both the Texas Legislature and in the
US Congress.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
We just passed.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
A resolution in the ballot initiative in the primary. You know,
over ninety something percent of ninety five percent I think
of Republican primary voters want to ban Sharia in Texas.
So this is an issue that is not just my opinion.
Listen to what these moms actually say. There's plenty of examples,
you know, on YouTube that you can go find of.
(15:39):
These are moms right here in Texas talking about how
they're going to force Islam into every single home in America.
This is their stated goal. Texas is ground zero for
this fight. There's a reason why all these people are
flocking here. And you know, the critics are like, well,
they're only you know, one percent of our population. Yeah,
But the problem is a big chunk of that one
(16:00):
percent is congregated. Here in Texas, they're building moss at
the rate of two per month. There's over three hundred
and thirty mosques now in Texas with more plan they're building,
you know, wanting to build these entire communities that are
that are no go zones for people who aren't of
Islamic faith. And so, you know, I've just been very clear.
I think that the workaround for this is Islam is
(16:23):
not a religion. It doesn't have First Amendment protections. I
believe it is a political structure, and I believe it
is a threat to our Western values.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
So I would agree with all that I think that,
and I don't understand why anyone would disagree with that.
I think one point that some of the hard line
Republicans make is like, well, why are you running for
railroad commissioner? Then if that's such an important issue.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
To you, Well, I think you can have lots of
important issues to you. That doesn't mean you would be
ineffective in a particular office. You know, I'm running for
railroad commissioner because it is an industry that I have
deep ties to. It's an industry where I make the
majority of my income from, and you know, I'm very
passionate about it, and I look at the landscape of
what's happened under the leadership of my opponent, who is,
(17:05):
by the way, the chairman of the Railroad Commission. You know,
he instituted the largest environmental regulations onto the oil and
gas industry in forty years maybe ever. And I would
argue they and they just went into effect in July,
by the way, so we really haven't felt the long
term effects of it. But you know, I've talked to
operators all over the state and they and they consistently
(17:26):
tell me that those new regulations that Jim spearheaded and
put into place last year are massively increasing the time
to get you know, oil produced, the cost to get
oil produced. And by the way, what does that do.
It makes it you have to have a higher oil
price in order for operators.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
To make money.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Well, if they're not making money, guess what, Texans lose
jobs and that's not good for our economy. So we
have to find the sweet spot, you know, the price
of oil that you know, producers can still make money
and employ people in Texas and consumers you know, are
aren't paying you know, out the nose for high gas prices,
so there is a balance in there. But by increasing
(18:09):
operating costs, you raise that threshold, which is not good
for Texas. So look, I'm Texas first, I'm America first.
I think we ought to be implementing policies that encourage
job growth, that encourage our producers and allow everybody to
make money, the producers, the people you know working in
the oil fields, and you know, keep a price that
(18:31):
is good for consumers also, So there is that balance
that I would strive to fight for. Look, I'm also
a landowner. I'm a rancher. I have a ranch right
in the middle of an oil field. It's not like
I'm against regulations, but you know, we have to right
size those regulations so that we don't hamstring our producers.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, I think it's a great answer BO.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And you know, to anybody out there that does criticize
BO for talking about controversial subjects, there's a reason he
goes viral on social media all the time. There's a
reason why people know his name, and there's a reason
why he's in a runoff right now. At the end
of the day, people vote for candidates they know they
know who BO is because he's out talking about hot
button issues.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Let's talk about this for a minute.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I noticed when it comes to eminent domain, liberals want
eminent domain. They support it so they can get a
high speed rail halfway between Houston and Dallas, Texas. I
never understood why we needed that, but it's very important
to them to take away land from ranch owners who
have existed in the state for generations. Republicans, so called conservatives,
support eminent domain when it comes to these pipeline build
(19:30):
I'm all about energy independence, support the energy industry, but
for me personally, I think not at the cost of
you know, people's livelihood or generational land.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Where do you stand on that?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Yeah, I mean generally speaking, I am not a big
fan of imminent domain, but there are times, you know,
when it is appropriate. But there is a way that
it can be done. You know that that benefits everybody.
I mean, there is a you know, we have to
build certain infrastructure in pipelines are obviously critical. I have
friends in the in the you know, I know people
(20:02):
who are involved in the in the high speed rail,
you know, space as well, and so you know, I
understand that like people want these some people want these projects,
some people need these projects. But you have to balance
those needs with you know, existing landowners and so you
know I'm as a landowner, uh and as a landowner
who has pipelines but property in fact, you know, this
(20:24):
is something that I've had to wrestle with as well.
So you know, it is it is something that that
is delicate. You know, I lean towards the imminent domain
is not a good thing. But I also lean towards
you know, there is a price at which you know
things things I always say, you know, everything is for
sale for the right price.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
You and I both have a mutual friend on social media.
Jack Posobek and other America First Patriots been a big
supporter of Paxton. It always kind of annoys me when
people come to Texas and they'll make comments like they
don't understand the point of Buckey's or whatever. I saw
you schooling Jack on why BUCkies beats everything else, clean bathrooms, brisket.
(21:03):
If you're deregulating oil and gas to lower prices, does
that mean more affordable road trips to BUCkies? Are you
planning a Bucki's Energy Independence Act?
Speaker 6 (21:12):
I mean, who doesn't love BUCkies? And you know, Jack
and I have a great relationship. We toy back and
forth with each other on social media. But you know
he's a big fan of Wawall. I've never been to
a Wallesce. I don't really know. But you know, BUCkies
is uh, this is Texas and I you know, everything's
bigger and better in Texas and Buckets fits that bill.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
There's like this cottage industry of social media influencers who
come to Texas. They'll go to BUCkies. They make the
same video. I don't see what the big deal is. Yeah,
I'm sorry. We have a roadside oasis that's not for
hookers and heroin addicts and it's not. And you could
buy a surfboard and Ajara jelly for your mom.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Both French. Before we get out of here, I'm gonna
let you get the last word. Go ahead, brother, Yeah.
In fact, you've inspired me. I'm gonna run by BUCkies
and go buy a barbecue pit right now. So I
appreciate you having me.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
On the Listen.

This is Texas. Oil and gas is national security. It's
why Trump is focused on Venezuela and Iran.

It's why they.

Announced yesterday this huge new project in Brownsville's first refinery
in American fifty years. We have to focus on energy
dominance here in Texas, and I'm the candidate for that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Bo is the disruptor that we need right now. There's
probably nobody on the current commission who I would endorse.
I am endorsing Bau. Friends, I encourage you all to
go vote for him in this runoff, and vote for
Paxton too.

I live in Houston, gas right down the street from here, somewhere.
I think a little under three dollars. Look, I think
(24:33):
that's too high, frankly, but there's no shortage of oil
right now. There's just a lot of uncertainty in the market.
So look, I'm not a genius at figuring out why
California's prices are so different than ours. But I know
somebody who is. Well, he lives there. He's a pretty
bright guy. Joining us now, the very talented and insightful
host of The Real Story on One American News Network.
(24:54):
He is a California native, sharp analysis, on wavering commitment
to uncovering the truth, dynamic prison presence on TV all
over the country every day, and quickly becoming a standout
voice in conservative journalism, delivering hard hitting stories and bold perspectives.
Welcome to the show right now, Riley Lewis of One
America News Network. Riley, thanks for joining us, my man.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
My brother, thank you for having me, and you are
so right it's Look, there's a story there, but I
can assure you California's problems to gas prices it is
not because of Operation Epic Fury. It is because of
one man, Gavin Newsom would love to talk about it,
but just wanted to set the record straight there.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, right now in Houston we're paying three ZHO five
and then around the rest of the state of Texas
somewhere like three point thirteen. This idea that gas has
to be eight dollars per g I mean, I just
got to assume if what they're saying is the truth,
if it's all about Epic Fury, it must be true.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
But it's not.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
It's a complete lie, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
It is, And that's not even the case everywhere. Look,
if you're in La or San Francisco, or Oakland or Berkeley,
or even maybe some parts of San Diego County, your
gas prices are high because of taxes. It's not about Iran,
not the Iapola, not President Trump or Pete Heegsas or
Micro Rubio, who I think as a future president. It
(26:20):
is because of your local government, your mayor, your city council,
your county wide officials, and of course Gavenuwsom. On average,
in California, we pay at least a dollar and nine
cents more than the national average for a gallon of gas,
and that is because of state level taxes. Then if
you're in Los Angeles, you have your LA county tax,
(26:41):
county wide, your gas tax. Then we have the war
against oil refineries. Unlike what you see in Texas, in
California oil refineries are under attack, and recently some of
them even just sent a letter to Gavin Newsom saying
that business is becoming untenable here and they will have
to lead the state if things don't change. So this
(27:02):
is about a war on the fossil fuel industry, not
about a war against the Ayatola.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, okay, so I just read today that Kawasaki's North
American headquarters is leaving California to go to Georgia. We've
seen other ones too, Obviously, Tesla came to Texas, Oracle
came to Texas, Chevron Chevron was in the Bay Area,
came to Texas. Hewlett Packard, Charles Schwab, X SpaceX Public Storage,
(27:29):
just so many examples of this.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
The list goes on and on.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I got to assume that the leaders in California understand why.
I have to assume the voters understand why. So presumably
in your state over there, California, beautiful place, do people
see the.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Writing on the wall?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I mean jobs are leaving, companies are leaving, people are leaving.
Obviously they must be changing their economic strategy, right, Yes.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
And it's becoming very difficult. Look at as you mentioned earlier,
I'm a native here. I'm born and raised here. I've
had family here for over one hundred years, going back
to the early nineteen hundreds, and maybe even before then.
I've had family all over the state. I have family
in the Bay Area of San Francisco, Los Angeles, San
Diego County, myself born and raised. Everybody's talking about the
cost of living. Everybody's talking about affordability. And it's not
(28:18):
just gas. It's food, it's healthcare, it's clothing, it's the
cost of a decent education. And more people are worried
about that because public schools are becoming untenable. So private
school is the name of the game, and private school
is extremely expensive. It's running a business here, it's your payroll, taxes,
it's the minimum wage. It all goes back to a
(28:40):
gross level of mismanagement and corruption. And the problem for
California as a state is that it's a leaky bucket,
right because on one hand, the state's coffers are empty.
They are deeply in debt, billions and billions of dollars
in debt because we spend money on things like healthcare
for illegal immigrants. At the same time, Kenny, they want
(29:01):
to spend money on fraud. We have all these fraudulent
issues with hosta centers and daycare centers all up and
down the state. So we're going into people's pockets. We're
gouging people. Everybody feels it. Democrats too. The question is
will this problem be enough to motivate people to change
their behavior at the ballot box? Will people vote for
(29:23):
Steve Hilton? Will they vote for Chad Bianco? In November,
we have two Republicans who are running for governor. We
have a jingle primary here in California, so it's possible
they will both advance to the general election.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
And that's an open question.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
But everybody feels that, everybody sees that, everybody knows what
the problem is. I just don't know if it's going
to be enough of a motivating factor for people to
physically change their voting behavior. But I am hoping and
praying for that to happen, because this once glorious state
is kind of on its last legs.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I love in a city where there's not a lot
of homeless, particularly because we don't allow it.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Public cana bing zillegal here in Houston.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
When I go to Austin or San Antonio, sometimes I'm
surprised at how many homeless people I see.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
But boy, you guys, we got nothing on you guys.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I just read this news story about a place called
Downey City, which I'm told as part of the Los
Angeles area. This guy's standing at an EVY charging station
and as he's standing there, a homeless guy comes up
and stabs him fatally. By the way the end of
the little foreshit, he dies at the end of the story,
So his family calls a paramedic. The EMT comes, and
while they're dealing with the guy and rushing him over
(30:29):
to the ambulance, suddenly they look around. They cannot find
the ambulance. The ambulance is gone, and they realize another
homeless guy drove off in the ambulance, so they couldn't
get this guy to the hospital fast enough, so he died.
Do people in La do the southern California? Are they
not mad about stuff like this this? If this happened
in Houston, it'd be the only thing you hear about,
(30:51):
But in California it feels like this is a footnote
in the news.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Well, i'm body, he said that. I'm sure everybody would
be mad about it, But a lot of people don't know.
La County has ten million people, and a lot of
people in that county are because of the cost of living,
they're working multiple jobs all the time, and they just
don't pay attention. So this is an issue of the
low information voter. It's not the people want't be mad,
(31:17):
it's that they don't know. They're not mad because they
have no idea what's going on. And there's so many
stories just like that one that happened in La. It
just gets you know, lost in the wash a little bit.
But it's really bad, and you hear similar stories about
homeless encampments around all over southern California in the Bay Area.
I mean open air drug markets, people living in their
(31:39):
own feces, he used needles on the ground. It's really
really bad, and so much so that even Barack Obama
is now hitting Gavin Newsom on it.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
So that should tell us.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Something, Right, Kevin Newsom is supposedly trying to pivot to
the middle now, and I don't think it's working.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Apparently he's made some he's made some adjustment.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm told he's trying to make himself sound like more
of a moderate because obviously he's running for president now,
and so liberals who used to love him just a
few years ago are now criticizing the guy. He did
this interview with Katie Kuric recently, and a lot of
people have heard the part of the interview where she says, oh,
are you too handsome to be president? It's like, all right,
(32:20):
calm down, Katie. But then in the same interview she does.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
This, the highest poverty rate tied with Louisiana, the highest unemployment,
and as Nick Christoph of The New York Times recently wrote,
Mississippi schools outperformed California schools, especially for poor kids. Now
people see that or hear that or read that, and
they're like, no thanks California, No thanks, Gavin Newsome, We're good.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah, Well, the poverty rate is you're talking about the
supplemental poverty rate.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Now, yeah, he's going to get into some semantics here
about the poverty rate. But it's like, all right, So
these states in the South that were always known for
being poor and having bad education are suddenly improving at
a time when California is plummeting. Riley, I'm gonna let
you get the last word here. What are your thoughts
on this?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Look? Look, it is managed decline.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Gavin Newsom, his cronies and his administration, the corrupt cronies,
and Sacramento, where Democrats have a super majority sixty of
eighty House seats, They are opting for decline because they
don't truly care about the people of the state. They
care about one thing. It's the only thing they think about.
They're obsessed with it, they're fixated on it. They dream
(33:29):
of it morning, noon, and night. They just want power,
and they don't want the responsibility that comes with power.
So if Gavin Newsom thinks he has a snowballs chance
in hell of becoming the next president of this country,
he better think twice. He's chased out job creators, investors, inventors,
life long Californians to Texas. Here state Tennessee, Florida, Montana, Idaho.
(33:56):
The list goes on and on and on. This is
a cationary tale of what happens when you give Democrats power,
because radical Democrats cannot govern. So please heed my warning.
This is happening in Virginia too, with span Berger. It's
happening in New York with Kathy Hochel and Zoorn Mamdani.
What's happening to California can happen everywhere. Get the say
(34:20):
back pasted. Okay, we need to win the mid terms.
We cannot give Democrats another inch because they will use
it to ruin this great nation. California is not a
lost cause, but it's run by communists who are incompetent
and corrupt, and they are rarely, if ever held accountable.
We have an incredibly important race in November to Republicans
(34:43):
running to replace Newsom. He's being turned out and Newsom's
legacy will be taking one of the greatest states in
the whole country and turning it into an unlivable, unaffordable,
unsafe wasteland. That is Davin Newsom's legacy. That is Daven
Neusm's legacy.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Guys, that is the voice of Riley Lewis.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
You could check him out weekdays, The Real Story on
One American News Network six pm Eastern time. I guess
it'd be on it three pm Pacific time. I'd put
it on at five pm our time here in Texas
Live dot o ann dot com.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Check it out. Riley, Thank you so much for your
time this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
The unofficial California correspondent for KPRC Radio and the Walton
Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Thank you, Robert.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
This is Binney sent this and you are listening to
the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. Now give me all of
your money, because that's the only thing that's fair, all right.
Paul McCartney says he's thankful he made up with John
Lennon before John was killed. Paul McCartney also started looking
like a grandma after he died. If John Lennon came
(35:48):
back to life right now, would he even recognize Paul?
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Maybe not?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
What is this deal where like elderly rock musicians turn
into old ladies? You know, Steven Tyler, that's who else
that I mentioned. That's the ultimate example. Lady we've all seen,
I know, and you know you wrote that song about
Motley Crue.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Oh that's that's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
The whole premise of that song is funny because you
think it's about transgenders, but it's about how rock stars
were like getting so I don't know what the word feminine, Yeah,
whatever the word would be, uh true, I don't know. Yeah,
well it was before metrosexualism. Androgynous they were in I
think that would have been the term. And they were like,
all right, Aerosmith, we all got long hair and everything
(36:26):
and where you know, gaudy jewelry, but Motley Crue.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Look at these guys. These are the freaks, am I right?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Right? Yeah, they're all tatted up, smoking cigarettes on stage.
And yeah, you know they got rid of Aerosmith's roller
coaster at MGM Studios or whatever they call now Disney
Hollywood Studios. Did you know that in Orlando? No, they
got rid of the ride right after a book was published.
This happened like a year or two ago, and they
just did it very quietly. They didn't tell anyone the
Aerosmith had a ride there. Did you know that that
(36:54):
they had to roll it? Yeah, Aerosmith had to roll
it while you're waiting in line, you're in, you're in
Aerosmith's recording studio, and you see like a video of
them and anyway, it's you know, love and a roller
coaster is what it's called, which is weird because it's
a children's ride that's named after having sex with a
stranger on an elevator. But that's besides the point. But
there was a point where it became too much for Disney.
Someone wrote a book detailing how Stephen Tyler and all
(37:16):
the guys in Aerosmith, when they were in their twenties
were traveling around the country with girls as young as
fourteen or thirteen. Stephen Tyler was even the official guardian
of one of them because her mom was a rocker
fan or some weird thing like that. Clearly they were
having sex with these young young women. I mean, if
you're grossed out by the Epstein files, I give you
(37:39):
not only exhibit A with the Aerosmith right, which is
at the time wasn't controversial at all interesting, but even
more even weirder than that. If you're bothered by the
Epstein Files, have you heard about Muslims?
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Yes, it's like their.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Whole thing right in the book they had a AI
show was his six year old child bride.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I think six is too young, Steve. Yeah, probably that's
just me.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Look, I don't want to upset the audience or whatever,
but I think if your bride is six years old,
it's too young. Wait, I think twenty years would be
if we could elevate this conversation. Let's talk about Stephen
Tyler's daughter Live. Oh, I love Live Tyler gorgeous. Yeah,
she's I'm a been a fan of Wow. Does everybody
remember in the nineties he started using his daughter in
his music videos.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Oh yeah, and people didn't know who she was at first.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
They're like, whoa, I bet Steven Tyler's giving it to
this chick.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah, it was like, actually, actually, that's his daughter.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
In the nineties, there was a brief period where, like
the sixties seventies, rock music made a comeback, not only
Aerosmith because they had a bunch of hits on MTV
in the nineties. Uh, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Last
Dance with Mary Jane. That was forgot that the grunge
era loved that music. Is there the equivalent of that
today where all of a sudden, I guess deftnes Deaftnes
(38:54):
have some hits on the radio, now, yeah, I mean
it's kind of depressing, like whenever you're rolling up right
and like a lot of the artists that you love
are like mainstream, sure, and then you start hearing them
on classic rock, right, I know, yeah, it's terrib But
then on the other hand, it's like they you know,
Pearl Jam, congratulations, you're considered a classic now. Well, nineties
nostalgia is hot right now, and you and I both
(39:16):
remember the nineties we were little kids. Then we're back
to a point now where Bill Clinton is lying in
front of Congress about his sex.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Life and sexual relations with that woman. Let me get
a different clip on the screen real quick. Did Bill Clinton? Bill?
We all know what happened in that hearing? Did you
have you?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Kept up with his questions on Epstein? And there were
some gotcha moments. The most interesting thing to me, I think,
was this moment where he realized he could have sex
with Nancy Mace.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I didn't. I didn't say anything for anything. Oh you didn't.
But you have a great tone in your voice, and.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I'll take that as a compliment.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
It is a cop thank you. And I did not
put a yell lost or any laschool for that matter.
You see Bill starts flirting with Nancy.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Did you see his lawyer, let me rewind it for
those watching us on the line, look at his lawyer
lean over. He's like, Bill, knock at the f off, bro,
You're not helping the case here about it at all. But
did you see that at the end when he was
holding the coffee mug, like how he was shaking like, oh,
she's in.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Well she's in.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Yeah, Well, dude, Bill's no h You know, he's played
this game before. Bill has been to the hen House
a time or two. He also got to wonder, do
you notice that Bill and Trump are both kind of
defending each other lately? Have you caught little glimpses of
that in the news where like Bill's defending Trump? Yeah,
he's he has never been to the island and vice versa.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah. You know, do you think the.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Two of them like went Chinese finger traps on one
of the You know, oh, man, I'm a very visual
person and I totally visualize on it. I hate you
now and I work in radio, So it's not a
coincidence that I had that up here.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
I had that in the chamber ready to go. If
you will.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Hey, all that being said, did Bill try to kill
his wife? There's this video that's gone viral of the
two of them walking through traffic together. Hang on, I
think I'm still playing the other sound bite. Let me
stop that real quick. Oh yeah, sorry about that? Oh boy,
you do? You gotta love Nancy Mace. All right, hang on,
let me turn this back up. Bill Clinton's walking through traffic.
(41:11):
I feel like right around here there's a video that
he pushes he pushes Hillary. Look, he's pushing her into traffic.
Did Bill try to murder his wife?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
On camera?
Speaker 2 (41:22):
And he's got all these secret service agents and handlers
and they're in New York City. So in New York
City even Bill Clinton and Hillary can kind of disappear
into the background a little bit. For those of you
that are listening on the radio, go look at my
live stream right now or Steve's live stream. It's on
my ex account. So I have two things on this, please.
Clinton was almost Clinton sided.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Wow. Good's crazy?
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah, I mean, and Hillary very much now resembles Kim
Jong Um. Wow, she really does dress like it. And
they have the same body type. Oh hero, Now that
I think about it's still actually have a third thing,
I've never seen the two of them in the same
place at the same time. Have you ever seen Kim
Jong Un with Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Me?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Neither. So there's your proof.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
And a third thing, that's probably the first time in
a very long time that Bill has rammed Hillary from
behind like that.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
Oh yeah, I gotta be Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
They say that they're gonna get held in contempt if
they don't testify in front of the Epstein Committee.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
But Hillary and Bill been holding each other in contempt
for thirty years. I mean, what do they care? You
know what I mean exactly? They're great, just a fun couple.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
While we're in New York City talking about the latest
news terror attack outside the Mayor's mansion. You may have
seen this, and CNN tried their darnedest to blame it.
They actually, did you see the tweet that they deleted.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
They did not. They had a tweet.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
They had a whole thing they did where they wrote
a story about these two teenagers from Mid East to well,
they're from Pennsylvania, but their parents are from Afghanistan and
they were just out for a nice day in New
York City when suddenly they came upon this protest and
felt the urge to do some terrorism.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
It was almost like the article was.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Supposed to say, Wow, they wouldn't have been terrorists if
not for Maga exactly.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
And then the other guy from that story.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Everyone's heard the story now about out that Jake Lang,
the guy that organized the protest. Right now he's being
accused of chatting with a fifteen year old trying to
groom a fifteen year old girl.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah, I saw both sides of that argument. What what
are the two sides of.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
So one side is you know that these are text
messages that essentially that Jake Lang was contacting an underage
girl and like grooming her.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
And the other was entrapmant like they tricked him into it.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Or so there was a communication with Jake Lang and
Alex Rosen.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
You know that guy. I know it.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
He's been on this show. Okay, so yes, we know Alex. Yes,
he's a local guys. He has a thing called predator poachers.
It's very controversial. He has, to his point, sent dozens
of pedophiles to prison. But then he says on savory
things on social media that make people.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
More all the time. Yeah, the hard are you could
say retard? Oh no, oh, oh the end bomb.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah. No, yeah, that's a little much. I don't know
if my sponsors are going to appreciate that. No, I
don't think so.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
No, But yeah, so he.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Jake was communicating with Alex saying, hey, look here's all
the messages and it's my team, and essentially they were
trying to honeypot him.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
You think so they were trying to entrap him? Is
that it?
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Well, I don't know what the truth is. I'm just
I'm kind of on the fence on that one. My
position on it is this, if somebody comes up to
you and they're like, hey, I think you're very handsome.
I'd like to hang and you go, I need you
to be eighteen years old and she says I'm almost eighteen.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Still don't do it. That would be my position. That's
my no.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I always feel like as a single guy, in a
middle aged man, it's like anyone under twenty five, it's like,
all right, you meet a twenty two year old girl
at a bar, Well, she might as well just be
a very attractive toddler, because you're not gonna have a
conversation with a twenty two year old she's retarded.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
Absolutely, you would talk to a twenty two year old.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Dude, like yeah, I mean, you know, like in conversation.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
They have No. I don't think curity level is just
not there.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
It's women can't learn to form complete sentences until they're
twenty five. I mean they just can't. It's try talking
to a twenty three year old. They're not going to
say anything that interesting. All women at the age of
twenty four they go to a learning school or a
learning school. I'm just yeah, they go to the right now,
the Learing Center. Yes, absolutely, Hey, I'll tell you what
we're gonna do. A little bonus round coming up in
(45:31):
just a short time here on social media, So if
you're watching us on social media, stick around for that.
