(01:12):
We're not really sure what Pete Hegseth did wrong, but

that out later. It doesn't matter what he did wrong.
Also joining me this afternoon, Michael Quinnsullivan will be stopping
by from texascorecard dot Com. Here in the Lone Star State,
the government wants to pay you to have babies, sort of.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
We'll explain it.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Hang around for that, and comedian Tim Mathis is coming
by with some bad news for Hollywood, but some good
news for probably everybody else in the country. So all
that on the way, but we start our show this
afternoon with this I just learned.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Most people just learn.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
This is all over the news right now, but you
don't have to turn it on because I'll tell you.
The FBI has arrested a suspect believed to have planted
pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democrat Party headquarters prior
to the January sixth, twenty twenty one Capital riot. Y'all
remember that, y'all, remember, I mean, this was a long
(02:06):
time ago. There's almost five years ago, you guys, there
was a you know, as ilhan Omar would probably have
described it if she was a QAnon theorist. Some people
did some stuff, and that was how January six happened. No,
it was a little more complicated than that. On January sixth,
twenty twenty one, most people know about that infamous moment
when a protest turned into a riot, and some blame
(02:28):
Donald Trump for it, some blame the FBI for it.
That's not even what this segment is about right now.
Before all that happened, it was a big deal at
the time, but in the grand scheme of things, it
didn't ultimately end up being a very big news story.
Pipe bombs were found at the Democrat National Headquarter, the
Democrat Party's headquarters, and the Republicans headquarters. They now have
(02:50):
a suspect in custody. He has been identified as a
man named Brian Cole. According to two senior law enforcement
officers that spoke to NBC News, the arrest is a
massive breakthrough, they claim, in the five year federal investigation
into who placed the pipe bombs, which did not detonate
or killed anyone, and certainly weren't placed there by federal
agents in an effort to distract you from far more
(03:12):
nefarious things that were happening at the time.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Wink wink, nudge, nudge.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
May I forgive me for starting the show off this
afternoon with this. I'm not a conspiracy theorist most of
the time, but when something doesn't make sense, there's a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Why.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Can we walk through a timeline real quick on how
this whole thing went down? January fifth, twenty twenty one,
right before eight pm, roughly seven fifty four pm, a
hooded suspect placed what they claimed were pipe bombs one
inch by eight inch pipe bombs kitchen timers black powder
near the DNC on a park bench and near the
RNC in an alley the headquarters in DC. They claim
(03:49):
this happened. Why would they lie on The suspect too,
wore a gray hoodie and a mask and gloves and
Nike Aramas sneakers, the preferred sneaker of anti American terar Obviously,
I'd say that in jest. The following day, the pipe
bombs were found amid the Capitol riot chaos. How convenient
that they didn't even go off. They were just discovered
(04:10):
as this big, massive news story was happening that was
supposed to and probably did, at least for a moment,
make Republicans look very bad. Nothing blew up, and they
offered a five hundred thousand dollars reward, and then they
didn't talk about.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It for four years.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
For more than four years, the FBI claims they conducted investigations.
They looked at forty thousand videos. They claimed they had
hundreds of tips just the tip and twelve hundred site visits.
They visited the site twelve hundred times. Weirdly, no arrests
were made for five years, almost five years, nothing was known.
Then last month November eighth, twenty twenty five, Blaze Media
(04:47):
of Texas, owned by Glen Back, among others, home to
my friend Sarah Gonzalez works there. A whole bunch of
people do great shows on Blaze Media. Suddenly one of
the journalists there had a revelation. They did a big
invent instigation and they accused an ex Capitol Police officer,
Shannie Kirkhoff, who is now working for the CIA, as
(05:09):
a ninety four to ninety eight percent match. They claimed
there was an FBI cover up. They claim intel sources
were confirmed. This theory was promoted by Congressman Thomas Massey
Luna Loudermilk. The FBI responded, they said no that's not
the guy. That's not who it is. You're lying, you're
making it up. Blaze Media is wrong. It's definitely not
(05:29):
a CIA agent. That was almost a month to the day,
right it was November eighth to where we are right now.
It's today the fourth, Today, December fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Big news story all over cable news.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
The FBI has arrested Brian Cole Junior, age thirty, of Woodbridge, Virginia.
He has been tied via old evidence review, possibly idd
years ago, charged for a January fifth planting the court.
He's in court right now. They raided his home. They
say there's no CIA link. He has nothing to do
with the intelligence agencies. You could trust Cash Bettel, you
(06:05):
can trust Dan Bong Genail. This is the end of.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The five year saga.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Blaze Media is wrong, they claim, and we're just supposed
to accept that.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
There hasn't been a trial yet. Obviously not.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
With all that being said, forgive me for being a
little suspicious about all this. You may recall that the
person that was in charge of the FBI in the
state of Michigan back when the some people accuse the
FBI of staging a kidnapping of the governor of Michigan,
Gretchen Whitmer. That person got promoted to become the head
of the FBI in Washington, DC, right around the time
(06:39):
when January sixth happened. What an odd coincidence, What an
odd amount of timing there in this case. Yet you
have a Blaze Media has another allegation. They say this
person was an agent to the federal government in Washington,
d C. Then got a promotion to the CIA, a
promotion of sorts. Right, it's two different agencies. But that's
besides the point seems awfully similar, doesn't it. Sobody assuming
(07:01):
hypothetically all this is true my conspiracy theories, the Blaze
media's theory about assume we're all right about this, that
it actually did have something to do with intelligence agencies,
which is clearly what you know for those have it
caught on. It's kind of what I'm suggesting here. It's
interesting that in both cases the person was promoted, weren't they.
It's a weird coincidence. All right, fine, maybe that's not true.
(07:23):
Let's walk through the timeline of everything here and maybe
just give a little perspective of why this doesn't make sense.
Kirkoff shift from Capitol Police to CIA security post January
sixth suggests there was an interagency collusion. It exposing her.
It implicates the CI in a false flag operation to
frame Trump supporters. Certainly seems like that, right, assuming it's true.
(07:47):
You know, if that's true, it would suggest there was
a cover up. An ex FBI agent, Kyle sarafin who
I follow on X he follows me. He claims teams
were one door away from kirk Coock's residence days after
January six but pulled off inexplicably, indicating deliberate sabotage to
bury evidence and avoid linking the FEDS to the bombs.
(08:08):
Again all theories right. Was their video tampering to obscure
the match. Blaze's clear footage yielded a ninety four to
ninety eight percent match. The FBI's downsampled public video allegedly
hid this bind time to fabricate alibis like Kirkhoff's puppy
video while pursuing a patsy. Assuming it's true, and was
it a diversion from the January sixth inside job narrative,
(08:32):
bombs were pulled resources from the Capital Security. It admitted
a fed plant fuels, theories of orchestrated chaos to discredited
Trump rally, undermining the FBI's January sixth prosecutions, and the
insurrection framing boy. It seems awfully convenient for the intelligence agencies,
doesn't it. Forget about everything I just said for a minute,
just to assume the timing of all this was a
(08:54):
little odd, and that's kind of par for the course
when you work in these intelligence agencies. Again, forget everything
I just said for a minute. Think about Tupac Shakur
and Puff Daddy Kenny. What does that have to do
with anything? Thank you for asking you remember twenty five
thirty years ago, Tupac Shakor, the famous California based rapper,
(09:14):
was murdered in Las Vegas in his car coming home
from I think a Mike Tyson fight. For years, people
suspected that the person responsible for that was rapper p
Didty Puff Daddy Sean Colms, otherwise known as Diddy. Now
a lot of you know he's in jail right now.
A little while back, his home was rated. He was
indicted on prostitution charges and rico charges, and weirdly enough,
(09:36):
after some twenty five thirty years of not knowing who
murdered Tupac Shakor, even though a lot of people did
think it was puff Daddy, right before they arrested Puff Daddy,
right before they indicted him, all of a sudden, the
federal government announced we think we found the guy that
killed Tupac Shakur. And conveniently enough, it wasn't puff Daddy,
(09:57):
it was this other guy. After thirty years, we just
figured it out. Weird the timing on all that. Now again,
I know who am I some guy that's a conspiracy theory,
somebody that's overtly paranoid, somebody who doesn't trust the government.
My gut instinct is to assume they're lying to us. Fine, yeah,
maybe I am that. But here's the thing. Historically speaking,
the government generally does lie to us.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
That's a lot of molycal.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I look, you just such a pie hole and keep working.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Back to the pursuit of happiness. Radiosa happyness.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
And liber eo.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Today we remember the life of Steve Cropper, one of
the greatest guitar players who ever lived. We lost them yesterday,
age eighty four years old. Ladies and gentlemen, there are
things a bruin in the United States of America right now.
Yesterday an interesting new alliance was formed between a moderate
(10:52):
Democrat from South Texas, a person I certainly don't agree
with on everything, and the leader of the free world
is a Congressman from South to named Henry Quaar. He's
a Democrat. He's not necessarily one of us, certainly not
a populist, right wing libertarian conservative tea party og, nothing
like that. But he does have some reasonable positions on
(11:14):
things like immigration. In fact, when Joe Biden was president,
he was very critical of Joe's policies at the border
and lo and behold. Just as soon as he got
very critical, kind of like Eric Adams, the New York
City mayor, suddenly there were charges lobbed against him. Oh
that's interesting. You guys just realized a few minutes ago,
you don't like this guy. What hang on, what did
(11:37):
he do wrong? They said, six hundred thousand dollars in fraud?
Oh what like in a day someone bribed him, no
spanning over seven years for consulting or it's like quaite
a second over seven years in political terms, that's actually
like a trickle of change sprinkling in it almost kind
of seems like you were trying to find a reason
to prosecute this guy for political reasons, right, It certainly
(11:59):
seems that way. Anyway, Yesterday, the President of the Free World,
that'd be Donald J. Trump, the Jay stands for genius,
decided to pardon Henry Quaar and his wife, Amelda. Michael
Clinton Sullivan, one of the most dangerous men in Texas.
Political media has ended the careers of some terrible people,
outed some awful people over the years. Certainly not a
(12:19):
guy who you know, not not not somebody that you
know looks at at scandal and fraud and says, nah,
this is okay. He's very critical of people that are
doing things illegal in government. He's made a career out
of it. Michael, do you think it was fair that
he went after his wife, Amelda? Give me your honest
opinion here.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Look, it's very fascinating to me that this, this uh,
this move by the president to pardon Hendry Quayar and
his wife in that you know, for for most of us,
for most of our adult lives, president's tinned, tinned being
the operative word there to to pardon individuals who are
(13:01):
either very sympathetic in the public or are in some
way connected to their own agenda or to the agenda
of their political party, and they don't really worry too
much about the opposition. If there was an injustice committed
to someone on the you know, on the on the
other side, if you will, uh well, let their side
(13:22):
worry about it is tended how most presidents have treated.
True to this, and here's any quay. Are not a Republican, okay,
I mean he's very much a Democrat. The the issue
he is most known for being contra the Democratic Party
on is a border security and it was it was
very striking that during the Biden administration when they went
(13:45):
after her Quaar went after his wife. They did so
only after he started being really loud, really obnoxious from
a Democrat's perspective on border issues.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know, did he six.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Hundred thousand dollars in bribes as consultants? Sy they helped
facilitate it. You know, I cannot say I don't know
enough about the case, but it's fascinating to see that.
You can look at so many other of the cats
in politics, ranging from your favorite congressman. I know I'm
going to think you when I say this, but I
know I know, I know you love this guy from
(14:20):
like Danquinshaw on the right of his insider trading too
to do to Nancy Pelosi and all of her insider trading.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And the and and and the rumors and you know.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
All the corruption that sits out there with his members
of Congress. That it was this guy that the Biden
administration decided to go after.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
They couldn't have anyone talking about.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And so it's it's just fascining to see that Donald
Trump went after them.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's also pardoned him. Of course.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
It's also interesting, as you were noting just now, that
that the Bidy administration could have just gone after Henry Quayar,
but they also went after his wife.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And that's it.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
No one has been ab to connect the dumps for
me about why she had to be induided. Also, generally
when a married couple, you just go after the guy
doing the stuff. So it's a very strange case, very
interesting case.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's also interesting to think that Henry had no prior
ethics violations none. He appeared to have been cleared multiple
times before the raid. The indictment came right after he
blasted Biden's border failure.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And just to compare this to other things.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Bob Menendez, another high ranking Democrat that seemed to get
in trouble around the same time that Henry Quaer started
popping up in the news.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He had years of scandal.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It wasn't like if somebody just commits a crime for
the first time halfway through their life, if they're accused
of committing a crime, that is to say, you really
got a wonder is like, well, never did anything before,
why would he start now? Whereas with Bob Menendez, decades
of that sort of thing. But anyway, I think we
both explained this one pretty clearly. All right, let's move
on to Dan Patrick. The Lieutenant governor, has a plan
(15:55):
very similar to something the National Republican Party is proposed,
saying we should create our own version of Trump's New
Child Investment accounts, that the state should provide every Texas newborn,
every new baby, with one thousand dollars and publicly funded
long term savings beginning in twenty twenty seven. Now, Trump's program,
created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to twenty
(16:17):
twenty five appear to do something similar.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
What do you think about this, Michael?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Is this a smart the government getting involved in the
free market or is this a little too much of
the invisible hand of government trying to influence the.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Economy looks as a strict Austrian economist, I or E.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Least said here to Austrian economics could call it.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
You could never confuse me an economist, but it is
an adherent to Austrian economics.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Not a fan of.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Any of these kind of wealthy distribution government handing out cash,
taking people money from one people will give them to
other people, that sort of thing. Now that said, politically speaking,
taking off my what's good economics and good good philosophy,
putting on uh, you know what what is good what
might be might be good politics. You know, at the
(17:06):
federal level, the thousand dollars uh, put being put aside,
invested in s and p one.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's you know, if the government's going to spend the.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Money, maybe you know, maybe spending it on setting up
savings accounts for children rather than just giving people seventy
five thousand dollars when they retire, which is kindly of
you when you do the math, you know, the the
the federal money, uh, and then sitting there when they're
born one thousand dollars compounding interest the miracle of compounding
(17:37):
interest going to effect with an investment in the SMP.
You know, you could be looking at seventy five thousand dollars,
and what we've been doing for the past century under
the New Deal has been, well, we just start handing
people seventy five thousand dollars, you know, we just start
spending this money, taking it from from the grand kids,
that kind of thing. So this is a slightly different
(17:57):
take on that, which which is interesting and I think
it's a you know, with the ship long sailed on
having a government that lives in line with good economic
theory that sailed more than a century ago.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
And so I guess it's so much.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
The questions, you know, or we're going to just you know,
keep going down the path of the same old tired
socialism and communism. We're gonna try something different. Thanks for
Dan Patrick's also kind of looking at and Texas. Hey,
look we get we have four hundred thousand new babies born.
Dan Patrick's team is framing his way to help people
with understanding financial literacy and those things which you look.
(18:39):
It's amazing to me how many of these gen Z
and Jin Alpha kids are running into who have no idea,
what of any kind of financial literacy, any kind you know,
so that maybe there's something to that where it's something
real that they can see. Oh, I mean if I
don't spend money, I save it, I end up making
more money. Think, wow, you know, radical concept, there's something
(19:04):
that On the hand, I'll say this morning, I have
been flooded. This was kind of the top story on
the Texas Minute this morning, and I've been flooded by
emails all day now from people talking about this issue.
And you know, a lot of people they're they're conservatives,
they're Republicans, and it's about fifty to fifty in terms
(19:26):
of the of the kind of oh this is the
worst thing ever to Wow, this is a great innovative idea.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So it's going to be fascinating how this works out
of the next eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
All right, let's talk a little bit about religion and government.
I want to remind everybody the First Amendment's pretty clear.
It's freedom of religion, freedom of religion, it's not freedom
from religion. There's nothing in the Constitution that says you're
never going to be exposed to religious beliefs, even you know,
you're not forced to believe them. There's a Texas battle,
as you guys put it on your website over required
(19:59):
displays of the Ten Commandments in government schools, and the
case was filed in the San Antonio Federal Court. Sixteen
schools are listed Katie Deer Park, Paarland. A lot of
Houston schools here in the list, including other cities and
school districts from around the state. At Fort Sam Houston
i SD, for example, all very mad that we're going
to put the Ten Commandments in public schools. You and
(20:21):
I were talking about this off the air a little bit.
The Constitution, they say, is loosely based on the Magna Carta.
But the Magna Carta, much like most free governments in
the world, if you go back far enough, the Ten
Commandments is the basis for most laws, government policy, basic
principles of government all over the world, isn't it? So
why would it be a problem to teach people the
(20:43):
Ten Commandments?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
What's the issue?
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I think the issue here is you have a bunch
of leftists who really hate the possibility that people might
entertain the idea that law comes before government, that you
have right and you have obligations, you have responsibilities, that
precede government, that government is not the be all, end
(21:07):
all of human race. You know, understand this when the
Soviet Union was formed, when when Lynen and Stalin and
all of those camps are pushing through, the first thing
they did were closed down churches. They ripped down any
displays that could make people think, uh, you know, ask
ask fundamental questions about the about the order of life right.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That was the first thing they did.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Same thing in that all Hitler's journeys, Paul Pott did
the sent of Rinse and repeat. All authoritarian ideologies rest
on the idea that nothing is more supreme than government.
And when you have children walking into a classroom and
they see the see the poster on the wall of
the Ten Commandments, one or two of them might actually
(21:53):
read those words and think, huh, you mean I have
rights and responsibilities that come with you, that that that
were endowed to me prior to government. Well maybe governments,
maybe the el and government should be holding to these
things too. And I think the left hates that thought.
What jer is our funding fathers loved that thought, which
(22:15):
is why the Ten Commandments are etched in the Supreme
Court chambers. That's why when you were in the United
States House of Representatives, and you're standing there at the
front of the room, and you look out to your
right and to your left, up above the on the wall.
Or are these frescoes the profiles of the great lawmakers
(22:35):
of history? But dead's center, with his eyes fixed on
the speaker of the US House is a is a
portrait of Moses who received the Ten Commandments. Imagine you
know it's it's this understanding, Uh, the Ten Commandments aren't
understanding that we as individuals were created by God, and
(22:56):
we have dignity, and we have work, and we have
value that comes long before government, and that drives the
left us crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
My brother from another he is Michael quinn Sullivan the
website texasscorecard dot com. It costs nothing to subscribe. Follow
Michael on X. I know a lot of you always
already do. But to those of you on social media,
find Michael Quinnsullivan and Texas Scorecard Michael, Mary Christy, miss Christmas.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Do you my good friend? I will hit you up
next week at Christmas.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Brother.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I'm not a fan of the government doing anything.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
This is the pursuit of happiness. Radio on kprc AM
nine fifty.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Okay, so I racoon got dronk at a Virginia liquor
store and passed out in the bathroom challenge accepted, responded
Pete hag Sath, I'm kidding. I'm kidding, but I do
want to talk about Pete haig Seth. Pete hag Sath
is all over the news today for quote unquote scandals.
One of them has to do with Signal Gate. You
know the government doesn't move very fast. Do you remember
(23:58):
Signal Gate? You may have forgotten about it. Nobody could
blame you if you did. Earlier this year, Pete Hegseat
was using a private chat to talk about military operations
in Yemen, and in the encryptied chat app known as Signal,
he accidentally added a liberal journalist to a conversation he
was having with members of the Pentagon. Now since then
(24:20):
they finally finished there an investigation and the Signal Gate
has concluded involving some Pentagon watchdog group and what they
determined was Pete didn't break any laws. Pete didn't endanger anybody,
but he could have. That was the big And I
was watching this on ABC News this morning while I
was listening to it while I was getting ready for work.
(24:41):
That part right there, but he could have That's all
they got out of the report. Somehow ABC News was
able to stretch that into fifteen twenty minutes of content
talking about all the things that could have happened, all
the things that could have happened but they didn't happen,
doesn't matter. Pete hagseck Se claims he didn't notice survivors
(25:01):
before that second strike on the Venezuelan boat due to
the fog war and maybe also due to the fog
of two or three margaritas.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
We don't know. I do know this. My friend Daniel
Turner is on the line right now. Daniel.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Much like the Venezuelan strikes on those boats, was that
the Washington Post came out with a story claiming that
Pete hag Seth called for the second strike on a
bunch of people in a boat, violating the Geneva Convention
or some of the rules of war. And then The
New York Times came out in a story that said, actually,
Pete Haggseth had nothing to do with calling for a
second strike on that drug boat. It feels like they're
(25:40):
eager to have there be a scandal when it doesn't
look like there really is.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
One No, one hundred. And you know, the media is
so absurd that we even had someone like Erwaldo Rivera
who tweeted that we shouldn't be bombing what did he
call them? Shipwreck survivors? And I actually tweeted it photo
of Gillian and replying to Haraldo, like, that's what we're
calling these people now wreck survivors. They're narco terrorists whose
(26:07):
boats are getting blown into eaty pitty pieces in international water.
And we have whole members of Congress who are fighting
for the rights of narco terrorists. But regardless of whether
or not you think these strikes are illicit, Pete did
nothing wrong. But you know, they've wanted Pete out since
Trump nominated him, and they're not going to rest until
(26:29):
until he's thoroughly destroyed. And I think the reason why
is because Pete represents everything that today's lefty hates, which
is masculinity, whiteness, maleness, straightness. Pete's you know, he looks
like g I Joe and he kind of acts like it,
and they hate that, right. They would much rather look
(26:52):
at the people they put on front and center in
the Pentagon men men dressed like women, right, calling themselves
be like if you and I can't. He just put
on a bunch of dresses and we were like Admiral
Kenny and we are Captain Daniel, and we were all
dressed as women. They were like, yep, this is the
new face of the Defense Department. Well, Pete's undone all
of that, and they hate him for it. They hated
(27:14):
him for it before he even got the job, if
you remember his confirmation hearings, because they knew he was
going to do this. Remember, if you are a activist, progressive,
you have to permeate your ideas, have to permeate every
part of society, academia, energy, healthcare, and the Pentagon too.
(27:37):
And they will not rest until straight, attractive, masculine men
who like to kill people for a living as soldiers
are gone. And we're all a bunch of Admiral Levine's
sitting there in dresses with our legs crossed talking about
climate change.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Daniel. Do you remember earlier this year, I mean way earlier.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
This year, when they first were going to confirm Pete
Hanksa in the Senate as the Secretary of Defense, before
it was called the Secretary of War, and they said
he had Neo Nazi tattoos all over his body, and
the tattoo he had, the single tattoo that was being
called into question was the Cross of Jerusalem. A lot
of discussion of this, and then days later Jimmy Carter dies.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Jimmy Carter dies.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
They bring him to the National Cathedral and there displayed
all over the floor of the National Cathedral with a
bird's eye view camera pointed down at the coffin where
the was the Cross of Jerusalem emblem all over the place,
just everywhere, Neo Nazi emblems all over the National Cathedral.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
We had to tear that down and rebuild it, right, Daniel.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
One, you know. And they never apologize to Pete for that,
and they won't because this is the viciousness of politics.
But again, this is very much a war on manhood, manliness,
on straightness, and that's why we have to be really,
really vigorous in our defense of people like Pete. I
(29:04):
mean again, look at the men who they put forward,
Tim Waltz, right, Corey Booker, and even the straight men
who they do put out are people like Eric Swalwell
who have sex with Chinese spies, and we try to
pretend that that's just all normal, right or Hunter Biden,
who has sex with everybody it seems, and leaves his
(29:25):
cocaine at the White House. So they don't want masculine men,
they don't want John Wayne. They want to push a
type of manhood. Who is Gavin Newsom, who is a
feat who is feminine, who cries, who speaks way too
more than an Italian. He speaks with his hand. And
that's what they That's the real war on Pete Heeksas
(29:46):
and the DoD is one of the last vestiges of manhood.
It is men who predominates. There are women, don't email me.
Of course there are women in the defense the male
of the War Department, but it is predominantly men who
go and fight our wars and straight men who who
like hierarchy and rigorous life and like role models. You know,
(30:10):
Recruitment is through the roof at the War Department because
eighteen year old guys who don't know what to do
with their life look at someone like Pete Haigshath and think,
you know what, there's a future in that. Like that
guy is cool. I want to be like him. I
want to do what he does, and that attracts young people,
especially young people who don't know what else to do
in this world. That has to be undone if you
(30:33):
are a leftist, and people like Pete have to be
destroyed in the process. I give President Trump a tremendous
credit for standing my Pete, because lesser men, like every
other Republican out there, would have thrown him overboard.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
By now, Pete seems like a cool guy to have
a drink with. Am I right? Am I right? Daniel?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Now, you know he swore on his inauguration and when
he was sworn in, he swore he would never have
one drink of alcohol while he was still serving. That's
up between him and his God. But but you know
what he is because I actually knew Pete before. That's
another conversation. And he was great, and he's funny, and
he he is the guy you want to have his
cigar with in your backyard because he'll tell you war
(31:15):
stories and he'll protect your family and he loves his country.
And you know, we used to love guys like that
in this country. And now again they give us people
like Tim Waltz. They give us people like Pritzker, Who's
who's who did you see Trump's comments? I never make
fun of fat people, never want to say he's a
fast flob. These are the people who they want us
(31:35):
to admire. Corey Bookers, Joaquin Joaquin Castro, no guy, no guy,
looks at these men and says, I want to be
like Pete Budha Jete, right, I want to I want
to hang out with the cross dressing transgen. It's repulsive,
it's uncomfortable, it's awkward. That's why young white straight men
(31:56):
predominantly are all becoming more and more conservative. It's why
Charlie Kirk had to be killed Kenny. It's what he
was attracting them too. They had to get rid of him.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
It's why one in three black men in Texas are
now voting for the Republican Party. Hey, real quick before
we run out of time, because we only have a
couple minutes left. Really big news story today involving the
alleged January fifth, January sixth, twenty twenty one pipe bomber
for those who don't remember, because it was a big
deal for about five minutes and then nobody talked about.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It for years.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Back in twenty twenty one, right before the inauguration of
Joe Biden. A hooded suspect placed viable pipe bombs, they claim,
near the DNC and the RNC headquarters in Washington, DC
every about four years. The FBI didn't have anything to
say about it. They didn't talk about it nothing. Then
last month, almost a month to this day, if I'm
not mistaken, Blaze Media had a bombshell. They named an
(32:49):
ex Capital cop, Shannie Kirkhoff, who is now a CIA
security expert, as a ninety ninety eight percent GAI Gate match,
I think is what they call that. They claim that
there was an FBI cover up. Intel sources we're confirmed
was promoted by Congressman Massey Luna louder Milk. The FBI
denied it, they said it was grossly inaccurate. Then today,
(33:12):
after five years, we just suddenly have arrested Brian Cole Junior,
age thirty, of Woodbridge, Virginia. Just suddenly realized, I think
we know who the pipe bomb suspect is. You gotta
admit the timing on this, Daniel is a little odd.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
I think this has to be the dumbest pipe bomber
in history, because if he has gotten away with it
for five years and he's just sitting on his couch
and they knocked on the door and arrested him. Like
this guy didn't try to hide in France, he didn't trust.
I just, you know, I think the deep state is
so real that even Republicans and good ones like Dan
(33:48):
Bongino aren't gonna undo it anytime soon. The pipe bomb
thing is one of those JFK assassination question marks that
will forever hang in the air. I take everything the
FBI does at this point with a grain of salt,
I really do. I I just can't believe at face value. Like, yep,
(34:10):
they got the guy five years What did they discover
now that they didn't know five years ago?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Right?
Speaker 4 (34:15):
You know what piece of evidence? So I just sorry
to no knock that cash Ptel and Dan Bongino. I
know you guys are trying. I just don't believe anything
the FBI does anymore.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Do you remember this?
Speaker 3 (34:27):
For twenty years, we didn't know who killed Tupac, and
many people speculated Puff Daddy Sean Combs had some connection
to the FBI that he was involved in it, but
they never prosecuted him because he was getting compromising videos
of celebrities and people in politics. And then all of
a sudden, right before they go out and they indict
Puff Daddy, right before they raid his home. Suddenly they discover, Oh, everybody, look,
(34:51):
we found the guy that shot Tupac twenty five thirty
years later.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Boy, what a weird coincidence.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
It wasn't Puff Daddy, so there's no reason to bring
it up at his trial.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Look, I'm not a conspiracy I'm not a conspiracy theorist,
but I kind of am. Daniel, do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 4 (35:05):
It's a little strange when you will you used to
go to his parties all the time. What did did
he tell you when you guys were partying at his house?
Did he tell you he had any connection?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Or he told me to wear white and bring baby oil.
That was what he told me.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Daniel Turner, Daniel Turner, Powerthefuture dot Com.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Merry Christmas to you, my good friend.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Low Blow Kenny, God bless you.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I think that's what Puff Daddy called it.
Speaker 6 (35:28):
This is Binney Santhus and you are listening to the
Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Now give me all of your money, because that's the
only thing that's fair.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
All right.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
We got late breaking news from the world of online
audio streaming. Bad Bunny has overtaken Taylor Swift as the
most streamed artist of the year.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Wow. Not bad for NFL's DEI hire. Am I right?
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Is this a spoiled, pappered, narcissistic Hollywood brat or what?
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Hollywood's a weird place? Or is it? Or is it
even a place anymore?
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Hollywood and the institution of the West Coast liberal elites
using multimillion dollar production projects to basically dominate and monopolize
the world of entertainment.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
It is crumbling before our very eyes.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
A recent report claims Hollywood has lost thirty percent of
their production over the last five years. The number of
on location films and TV production shoots happening in Los
Angeles has dropped by almost a third over the last
five years. The job losses have been substantial, with nearly
a third of the film industry workforce in La County
(36:47):
lost in just two years, which begs the question is
Hollywood dying? Is AI replacing Hollywood? Is technology replacing Hollywood?
You and I, with our iPhones and a little bit
of creativity and a handful of people who are decent actors,
can now create a movie a film. We can do
things that Hollywood used to be able to only do
(37:09):
using multimillion dollar production teams. Now I can use AI
to do what Jurassic Park or Star Wars once gave
us on the line. Right now, stand up. Comedian Tim
mathis the official Hollywood reporter for Pursuit of Happiness Radio, Tim,
what do you think about this, buddy?
Speaker 7 (37:26):
I think Hollywood really played itself during the pandemic and
it's probably never going to recover, at least not to
the strength that it had before, the relevance that it
had before. I mean, so many people, so many creatives,
including myself, moved out of Hollywood, a lot of it
because of how they handled the pandemic and the aftermath.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Of that that.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
I just don't think it's ever going to get back
on its feet one hundred percent like.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
It was before.
Speaker 7 (37:55):
You know, We've got New Mexico where I'm at, We've
got New York as as well, which has obviously always
been a big filming location, and we also have places
like Georgia and Texas, you know, so it's I don't
think it's ever going to get back to where it was,
and they have nobody to blame.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
But themselves.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, no kidding, and good ridance to all of them.
All right, let's talk about this today. Halle Berry. Speaking
of halle Berry, was once Catwoman. Catwoman was kind of
the anti hero, and some have compared Gavin Newsom to
Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho. Clearly just a
bad guy. Now, halle Berry, after years of pushing far
left political rhetoric, came out swinging against California Governor Gavin Newsom,
(38:38):
saying he probably should not be president due to his
policies on women. And while this isn't necessarily the reason
I dislike Gavin Newsom, at least her and I do
agree to dislike Gavin Newsom. She said she didn't like
Gavin Newsom because he boycotted the menopause bill, which is
exactly what it sounds like. In the state of California,
they had a bill to fund menopause treatment and care
(38:59):
and that sort of thing. And anyway, now that's going away,
Tim mathis what's your take on this? What do you
think about Gavin newso man Hanley Berry not being friends.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
As somebody who lived in California for a good while.
The entire sentence that Halle should have just stopped at
due to his policies, because his policies are awful.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Like I said, he's the guy.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
That piloted California and Los Angeles through the pandemic, the
aftermath the massive fires that we had just a year ago,
which was the primary reason I ended up leaving, because
you paid so much money for the ability to live
in California, in Hollywood specifically, and it's just not worth
(39:48):
it at this point.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
The taxes are too high.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
For example, I'm in New Mexico right now, and gas
is like two on average. In Hollywood it's still five
and six dollars because of the state taxes.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yeah, and that's just the beginning of what's wrong with
Gavin Newsom. Of all the things that are wrong with
Gavin Newsom, I got to think the menopause bill would
be the last thing on the list that I don't like.
But hey, at least we could both agree on one
thing we don't like, Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
All right, let's talk about this.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Netflix is pushing back against claims made in a cease
and desist letter from the disgraced music mogul Sean Diddy
Combs's legal team over their recently released docuseries Sean Combs
The Reckoning. Netflix says it's not supposed to be a
hit piece. No one was paid to participate. It all
started earlier this week, when Combs and his affiliates sent
(40:42):
Netflix a cease and desist deeming the four part docuseries
corporate retaliation against Puff Daddy, and notably, fifty Cent is
the guy that made it. A local Houston rapper and
entrepreneur owns a liquor company here in town. He has
been a public nemesis of Comb's long before the music
mogul September twenty twenty four arrest in federal indictment. I
(41:04):
tend to agree with the Netflix. It doesn't sound like
they made this. It doesn't it sound like it's supposed
to be a hit piece. Rapper fifty Cent put it together.
He doesn't like puff Daddy, and he seems to have
built a pretty good case of a reason not to
care for the guy. You are from Houston, You are
a rap officionado, Tim, What do you think is happening here?
Speaker 7 (41:26):
I like you said, I agree with Netflix. I mean,
come on, what did he complaining about? Like butt for Netflix?
His reputation would not be tarnished.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Get out of here.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
You know, when you're synonymous with illegal uses of baby
oil and bock Nellian parties of debauchery that are so
disgusting that you end up going to jail for them.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Like, what are you even complaining about at this point?
Speaker 7 (41:55):
Just shut up, dude, shut up and go do your sentence,
which is a little bit too.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Light in my opinion. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 7 (42:02):
Yeah, so it's like, just take your loss, man, because
it could have been worse.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
The thrill of live radio. Tim's phone does not sound
good today, but that's okay. It's not Tim's fault. He's
out in the middle of rural New Mexico. He has
decided to move to the desert. That's how much he
hated living in Hollywood. Hey, I love you all. I'm

that out later. It doesn't matter what he did wrong.
Also joining me this afternoon, Michael Quinnsullivan will be stopping
by from texascorecard dot Com. Here in the Lone Star State,
the government wants to pay you to have babies, sort of.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
We'll explain it.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Hang around for that, and comedian Tim Mathis is coming
by with some bad news for Hollywood, but some good
news for probably everybody else in the country. So all
that on the way, but we start our show this
afternoon with this I just learned.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Most people just learn.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
This is all over the news right now, but you
don't have to turn it on because I'll tell you.
The FBI has arrested a suspect believed to have planted
pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democrat Party headquarters prior
to the January sixth, twenty twenty one Capital riot. Y'all
remember that, y'all, remember, I mean, this was a long
(02:06):
time ago. There's almost five years ago, you guys, there
was a you know, as ilhan Omar would probably have
described it if she was a QAnon theorist. Some people
did some stuff, and that was how January six happened. No,
it was a little more complicated than that. On January sixth,
twenty twenty one, most people know about that infamous moment
when a protest turned into a riot, and some blame
(02:28):
Donald Trump for it, some blame the FBI for it.
That's not even what this segment is about right now.
Before all that happened, it was a big deal at
the time, but in the grand scheme of things, it
didn't ultimately end up being a very big news story.
Pipe bombs were found at the Democrat National Headquarter, the
Democrat Party's headquarters, and the Republicans headquarters. They now have
(02:50):
a suspect in custody. He has been identified as a
man named Brian Cole. According to two senior law enforcement
officers that spoke to NBC News, the arrest is a
massive breakthrough, they claim, in the five year federal investigation
into who placed the pipe bombs, which did not detonate
or killed anyone, and certainly weren't placed there by federal
agents in an effort to distract you from far more
(03:12):
nefarious things that were happening at the time.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Wink wink, nudge, nudge.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
May I forgive me for starting the show off this
afternoon with this. I'm not a conspiracy theorist most of
the time, but when something doesn't make sense, there's a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Why.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Can we walk through a timeline real quick on how
this whole thing went down? January fifth, twenty twenty one,
right before eight pm, roughly seven fifty four pm, a
hooded suspect placed what they claimed were pipe bombs one
inch by eight inch pipe bombs kitchen timers black powder
near the DNC on a park bench and near the
RNC in an alley the headquarters in DC. They claim
(03:49):
this happened. Why would they lie on The suspect too,
wore a gray hoodie and a mask and gloves and
Nike Aramas sneakers, the preferred sneaker of anti American terar Obviously,
I'd say that in jest. The following day, the pipe
bombs were found amid the Capitol riot chaos. How convenient
that they didn't even go off. They were just discovered
(04:10):
as this big, massive news story was happening that was
supposed to and probably did, at least for a moment,
make Republicans look very bad. Nothing blew up, and they
offered a five hundred thousand dollars reward, and then they
didn't talk about.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It for four years.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
For more than four years, the FBI claims they conducted investigations.
They looked at forty thousand videos. They claimed they had
hundreds of tips just the tip and twelve hundred site visits.
They visited the site twelve hundred times. Weirdly, no arrests
were made for five years, almost five years, nothing was known.
Then last month November eighth, twenty twenty five, Blaze Media
(04:47):
of Texas, owned by Glen Back, among others, home to
my friend Sarah Gonzalez works there. A whole bunch of
people do great shows on Blaze Media. Suddenly one of
the journalists there had a revelation. They did a big
invent instigation and they accused an ex Capitol Police officer,
Shannie Kirkhoff, who is now working for the CIA, as
(05:09):
a ninety four to ninety eight percent match. They claimed
there was an FBI cover up. They claim intel sources
were confirmed. This theory was promoted by Congressman Thomas Massey
Luna Loudermilk. The FBI responded, they said no that's not
the guy. That's not who it is. You're lying, you're
making it up. Blaze Media is wrong. It's definitely not
(05:29):
a CIA agent. That was almost a month to the day,
right it was November eighth to where we are right now.
It's today the fourth, Today, December fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Big news story all over cable news.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
The FBI has arrested Brian Cole Junior, age thirty, of Woodbridge, Virginia.
He has been tied via old evidence review, possibly idd
years ago, charged for a January fifth planting the court.
He's in court right now. They raided his home. They
say there's no CIA link. He has nothing to do
with the intelligence agencies. You could trust Cash Bettel, you
(06:05):
can trust Dan Bong Genail. This is the end of.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The five year saga.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Blaze Media is wrong, they claim, and we're just supposed
to accept that.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
There hasn't been a trial yet. Obviously not.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
With all that being said, forgive me for being a
little suspicious about all this. You may recall that the
person that was in charge of the FBI in the
state of Michigan back when the some people accuse the
FBI of staging a kidnapping of the governor of Michigan,
Gretchen Whitmer. That person got promoted to become the head
of the FBI in Washington, DC, right around the time
(06:39):
when January sixth happened. What an odd coincidence, What an
odd amount of timing there in this case. Yet you
have a Blaze Media has another allegation. They say this
person was an agent to the federal government in Washington,
d C. Then got a promotion to the CIA, a
promotion of sorts. Right, it's two different agencies. But that's
besides the point seems awfully similar, doesn't it. Sobody assuming
(07:01):
hypothetically all this is true my conspiracy theories, the Blaze
media's theory about assume we're all right about this, that
it actually did have something to do with intelligence agencies,
which is clearly what you know for those have it
caught on. It's kind of what I'm suggesting here. It's
interesting that in both cases the person was promoted, weren't they.
It's a weird coincidence. All right, fine, maybe that's not true.
(07:23):
Let's walk through the timeline of everything here and maybe
just give a little perspective of why this doesn't make sense.
Kirkoff shift from Capitol Police to CIA security post January
sixth suggests there was an interagency collusion. It exposing her.
It implicates the CI in a false flag operation to
frame Trump supporters. Certainly seems like that, right, assuming it's true.
(07:47):
You know, if that's true, it would suggest there was
a cover up. An ex FBI agent, Kyle sarafin who
I follow on X he follows me. He claims teams
were one door away from kirk Coock's residence days after
January six but pulled off inexplicably, indicating deliberate sabotage to
bury evidence and avoid linking the FEDS to the bombs.
(08:08):
Again all theories right. Was their video tampering to obscure
the match. Blaze's clear footage yielded a ninety four to
ninety eight percent match. The FBI's downsampled public video allegedly
hid this bind time to fabricate alibis like Kirkhoff's puppy
video while pursuing a patsy. Assuming it's true, and was
it a diversion from the January sixth inside job narrative,
(08:32):
bombs were pulled resources from the Capital Security. It admitted
a fed plant fuels, theories of orchestrated chaos to discredited
Trump rally, undermining the FBI's January sixth prosecutions, and the
insurrection framing boy. It seems awfully convenient for the intelligence agencies,
doesn't it. Forget about everything I just said for a minute,
just to assume the timing of all this was a
(08:54):
little odd, and that's kind of par for the course
when you work in these intelligence agencies. Again, forget everything
I just said for a minute. Think about Tupac Shakur
and Puff Daddy Kenny. What does that have to do
with anything? Thank you for asking you remember twenty five
thirty years ago, Tupac Shakor, the famous California based rapper,
(09:14):
was murdered in Las Vegas in his car coming home
from I think a Mike Tyson fight. For years, people
suspected that the person responsible for that was rapper p
Didty Puff Daddy Sean Colms, otherwise known as Diddy. Now
a lot of you know he's in jail right now.
A little while back, his home was rated. He was
indicted on prostitution charges and rico charges, and weirdly enough,
(09:36):
after some twenty five thirty years of not knowing who
murdered Tupac Shakor, even though a lot of people did
think it was puff Daddy, right before they arrested Puff Daddy,
right before they indicted him, all of a sudden, the
federal government announced we think we found the guy that
killed Tupac Shakur. And conveniently enough, it wasn't puff Daddy,
(09:57):
it was this other guy. After thirty years, we just
figured it out. Weird the timing on all that. Now again,
I know who am I some guy that's a conspiracy theory,
somebody that's overtly paranoid, somebody who doesn't trust the government.
My gut instinct is to assume they're lying to us. Fine, yeah,
maybe I am that. But here's the thing. Historically speaking,
the government generally does lie to us.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
That's a lot of molycal.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I look, you just such a pie hole and keep working.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Back to the pursuit of happiness. Radiosa happyness.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
And liber eo.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Today we remember the life of Steve Cropper, one of
the greatest guitar players who ever lived. We lost them yesterday,
age eighty four years old. Ladies and gentlemen, there are
things a bruin in the United States of America right now.
Yesterday an interesting new alliance was formed between a moderate
(10:52):
Democrat from South Texas, a person I certainly don't agree
with on everything, and the leader of the free world
is a Congressman from South to named Henry Quaar. He's
a Democrat. He's not necessarily one of us, certainly not
a populist, right wing libertarian conservative tea party og, nothing
like that. But he does have some reasonable positions on
(11:14):
things like immigration. In fact, when Joe Biden was president,
he was very critical of Joe's policies at the border
and lo and behold. Just as soon as he got
very critical, kind of like Eric Adams, the New York
City mayor, suddenly there were charges lobbed against him. Oh
that's interesting. You guys just realized a few minutes ago,
you don't like this guy. What hang on, what did
(11:37):
he do wrong? They said, six hundred thousand dollars in fraud?
Oh what like in a day someone bribed him, no
spanning over seven years for consulting or it's like quaite
a second over seven years in political terms, that's actually
like a trickle of change sprinkling in it almost kind
of seems like you were trying to find a reason
to prosecute this guy for political reasons, right, It certainly
(11:59):
seems that way. Anyway, Yesterday, the President of the Free World,
that'd be Donald J. Trump, the Jay stands for genius,
decided to pardon Henry Quaar and his wife, Amelda. Michael
Clinton Sullivan, one of the most dangerous men in Texas.
Political media has ended the careers of some terrible people,
outed some awful people over the years. Certainly not a
(12:19):
guy who you know, not not not somebody that you
know looks at at scandal and fraud and says, nah,
this is okay. He's very critical of people that are
doing things illegal in government. He's made a career out
of it. Michael, do you think it was fair that
he went after his wife, Amelda? Give me your honest
opinion here.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Look, it's very fascinating to me that this, this uh,
this move by the president to pardon Hendry Quayar and
his wife in that you know, for for most of us,
for most of our adult lives, president's tinned, tinned being
the operative word there to to pardon individuals who are
(13:01):
either very sympathetic in the public or are in some
way connected to their own agenda or to the agenda
of their political party, and they don't really worry too
much about the opposition. If there was an injustice committed
to someone on the you know, on the on the
other side, if you will, uh well, let their side
(13:22):
worry about it is tended how most presidents have treated.
True to this, and here's any quay. Are not a Republican, okay,
I mean he's very much a Democrat. The the issue
he is most known for being contra the Democratic Party
on is a border security and it was it was
very striking that during the Biden administration when they went
(13:45):
after her Quaar went after his wife. They did so
only after he started being really loud, really obnoxious from
a Democrat's perspective on border issues.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know, did he six.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Hundred thousand dollars in bribes as consultants? Sy they helped
facilitate it. You know, I cannot say I don't know
enough about the case, but it's fascinating to see that.
You can look at so many other of the cats
in politics, ranging from your favorite congressman. I know I'm
going to think you when I say this, but I
know I know, I know you love this guy from
(14:20):
like Danquinshaw on the right of his insider trading too
to do to Nancy Pelosi and all of her insider trading.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And the and and and the rumors and you know.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
All the corruption that sits out there with his members
of Congress. That it was this guy that the Biden
administration decided to go after.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
They couldn't have anyone talking about.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And so it's it's just fascining to see that Donald
Trump went after them.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's also pardoned him. Of course.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
It's also interesting, as you were noting just now, that
that the Bidy administration could have just gone after Henry Quayar,
but they also went after his wife.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And that's it.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
No one has been ab to connect the dumps for
me about why she had to be induided. Also, generally
when a married couple, you just go after the guy
doing the stuff. So it's a very strange case, very
interesting case.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's also interesting to think that Henry had no prior
ethics violations none. He appeared to have been cleared multiple
times before the raid. The indictment came right after he
blasted Biden's border failure.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And just to compare this to other things.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Bob Menendez, another high ranking Democrat that seemed to get
in trouble around the same time that Henry Quaer started
popping up in the news.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He had years of scandal.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It wasn't like if somebody just commits a crime for
the first time halfway through their life, if they're accused
of committing a crime, that is to say, you really
got a wonder is like, well, never did anything before,
why would he start now? Whereas with Bob Menendez, decades
of that sort of thing. But anyway, I think we
both explained this one pretty clearly. All right, let's move
on to Dan Patrick. The Lieutenant governor, has a plan
(15:55):
very similar to something the National Republican Party is proposed,
saying we should create our own version of Trump's New
Child Investment accounts, that the state should provide every Texas newborn,
every new baby, with one thousand dollars and publicly funded
long term savings beginning in twenty twenty seven. Now, Trump's program,
created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to twenty
(16:17):
twenty five appear to do something similar.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
What do you think about this, Michael?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Is this a smart the government getting involved in the
free market or is this a little too much of
the invisible hand of government trying to influence the.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Economy looks as a strict Austrian economist, I or E.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Least said here to Austrian economics could call it.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
You could never confuse me an economist, but it is
an adherent to Austrian economics.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Not a fan of.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Any of these kind of wealthy distribution government handing out cash,
taking people money from one people will give them to
other people, that sort of thing. Now that said, politically speaking,
taking off my what's good economics and good good philosophy,
putting on uh, you know what what is good what
might be might be good politics. You know, at the
(17:06):
federal level, the thousand dollars uh, put being put aside,
invested in s and p one.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's you know, if the government's going to spend the.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Money, maybe you know, maybe spending it on setting up
savings accounts for children rather than just giving people seventy
five thousand dollars when they retire, which is kindly of
you when you do the math, you know, the the
the federal money, uh, and then sitting there when they're
born one thousand dollars compounding interest the miracle of compounding
(17:37):
interest going to effect with an investment in the SMP.
You know, you could be looking at seventy five thousand dollars,
and what we've been doing for the past century under
the New Deal has been, well, we just start handing
people seventy five thousand dollars, you know, we just start
spending this money, taking it from from the grand kids,
that kind of thing. So this is a slightly different
(17:57):
take on that, which which is interesting and I think
it's a you know, with the ship long sailed on
having a government that lives in line with good economic
theory that sailed more than a century ago.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
And so I guess it's so much.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
The questions, you know, or we're going to just you know,
keep going down the path of the same old tired
socialism and communism. We're gonna try something different. Thanks for
Dan Patrick's also kind of looking at and Texas. Hey,
look we get we have four hundred thousand new babies born.
Dan Patrick's team is framing his way to help people
with understanding financial literacy and those things which you look.
(18:39):
It's amazing to me how many of these gen Z
and Jin Alpha kids are running into who have no idea,
what of any kind of financial literacy, any kind you know,
so that maybe there's something to that where it's something
real that they can see. Oh, I mean if I
don't spend money, I save it, I end up making
more money. Think, wow, you know, radical concept, there's something
(19:04):
that On the hand, I'll say this morning, I have
been flooded. This was kind of the top story on
the Texas Minute this morning, and I've been flooded by
emails all day now from people talking about this issue.
And you know, a lot of people they're they're conservatives,
they're Republicans, and it's about fifty to fifty in terms
(19:26):
of the of the kind of oh this is the
worst thing ever to Wow, this is a great innovative idea.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So it's going to be fascinating how this works out
of the next eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
All right, let's talk a little bit about religion and government.
I want to remind everybody the First Amendment's pretty clear.
It's freedom of religion, freedom of religion, it's not freedom
from religion. There's nothing in the Constitution that says you're
never going to be exposed to religious beliefs, even you know,
you're not forced to believe them. There's a Texas battle,
as you guys put it on your website over required
(19:59):
displays of the Ten Commandments in government schools, and the
case was filed in the San Antonio Federal Court. Sixteen
schools are listed Katie Deer Park, Paarland. A lot of
Houston schools here in the list, including other cities and
school districts from around the state. At Fort Sam Houston
i SD, for example, all very mad that we're going
to put the Ten Commandments in public schools. You and
(20:21):
I were talking about this off the air a little bit.
The Constitution, they say, is loosely based on the Magna Carta.
But the Magna Carta, much like most free governments in
the world, if you go back far enough, the Ten
Commandments is the basis for most laws, government policy, basic
principles of government all over the world, isn't it? So
why would it be a problem to teach people the
(20:43):
Ten Commandments?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
What's the issue?
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I think the issue here is you have a bunch
of leftists who really hate the possibility that people might
entertain the idea that law comes before government, that you
have right and you have obligations, you have responsibilities, that
precede government, that government is not the be all, end
(21:07):
all of human race. You know, understand this when the
Soviet Union was formed, when when Lynen and Stalin and
all of those camps are pushing through, the first thing
they did were closed down churches. They ripped down any
displays that could make people think, uh, you know, ask
ask fundamental questions about the about the order of life right.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That was the first thing they did.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Same thing in that all Hitler's journeys, Paul Pott did
the sent of Rinse and repeat. All authoritarian ideologies rest
on the idea that nothing is more supreme than government.
And when you have children walking into a classroom and
they see the see the poster on the wall of
the Ten Commandments, one or two of them might actually
(21:53):
read those words and think, huh, you mean I have
rights and responsibilities that come with you, that that that
were endowed to me prior to government. Well maybe governments,
maybe the el and government should be holding to these
things too. And I think the left hates that thought.
What jer is our funding fathers loved that thought, which
(22:15):
is why the Ten Commandments are etched in the Supreme
Court chambers. That's why when you were in the United
States House of Representatives, and you're standing there at the
front of the room, and you look out to your
right and to your left, up above the on the wall.
Or are these frescoes the profiles of the great lawmakers
(22:35):
of history? But dead's center, with his eyes fixed on
the speaker of the US House is a is a
portrait of Moses who received the Ten Commandments. Imagine you
know it's it's this understanding, Uh, the Ten Commandments aren't
understanding that we as individuals were created by God, and
(22:56):
we have dignity, and we have work, and we have
value that comes long before government, and that drives the
left us crazy.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Brother.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I'm not a fan of the government doing anything.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
This is the pursuit of happiness. Radio on kprc AM
nine fifty.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Okay, so I racoon got dronk at a Virginia liquor
store and passed out in the bathroom challenge accepted, responded
Pete hag Sath, I'm kidding. I'm kidding, but I do
want to talk about Pete haig Seth. Pete hag Sath
is all over the news today for quote unquote scandals.
One of them has to do with Signal Gate. You
know the government doesn't move very fast. Do you remember
(23:58):
Signal Gate? You may have forgotten about it. Nobody could
blame you if you did. Earlier this year, Pete Hegseat
was using a private chat to talk about military operations
in Yemen, and in the encryptied chat app known as Signal,
he accidentally added a liberal journalist to a conversation he
was having with members of the Pentagon. Now since then
(24:20):
they finally finished there an investigation and the Signal Gate
has concluded involving some Pentagon watchdog group and what they
determined was Pete didn't break any laws. Pete didn't endanger anybody,
but he could have. That was the big And I
was watching this on ABC News this morning while I
was listening to it while I was getting ready for work.
(24:41):
That part right there, but he could have That's all
they got out of the report. Somehow ABC News was
able to stretch that into fifteen twenty minutes of content
talking about all the things that could have happened, all
the things that could have happened but they didn't happen,
doesn't matter. Pete hagseck Se claims he didn't notice survivors
(25:01):
before that second strike on the Venezuelan boat due to
the fog war and maybe also due to the fog
of two or three margaritas.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
We don't know. I do know this. My friend Daniel
Turner is on the line right now. Daniel.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Much like the Venezuelan strikes on those boats, was that
the Washington Post came out with a story claiming that
Pete hag Seth called for the second strike on a
bunch of people in a boat, violating the Geneva Convention
or some of the rules of war. And then The
New York Times came out in a story that said, actually,
Pete Haggseth had nothing to do with calling for a
second strike on that drug boat. It feels like they're
(25:40):
eager to have there be a scandal when it doesn't
look like there really is.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
One No, one hundred. And you know, the media is
so absurd that we even had someone like Erwaldo Rivera
who tweeted that we shouldn't be bombing what did he
call them? Shipwreck survivors? And I actually tweeted it photo
of Gillian and replying to Haraldo, like, that's what we're
calling these people now wreck survivors. They're narco terrorists whose
(26:07):
boats are getting blown into eaty pitty pieces in international water.
And we have whole members of Congress who are fighting
for the rights of narco terrorists. But regardless of whether
or not you think these strikes are illicit, Pete did
nothing wrong. But you know, they've wanted Pete out since
Trump nominated him, and they're not going to rest until
(26:29):
until he's thoroughly destroyed. And I think the reason why
is because Pete represents everything that today's lefty hates, which
is masculinity, whiteness, maleness, straightness. Pete's you know, he looks
like g I Joe and he kind of acts like it,
and they hate that, right. They would much rather look
(26:52):
at the people they put on front and center in
the Pentagon men men dressed like women, right, calling themselves
be like if you and I can't. He just put
on a bunch of dresses and we were like Admiral
Kenny and we are Captain Daniel, and we were all
dressed as women. They were like, yep, this is the
new face of the Defense Department. Well, Pete's undone all
of that, and they hate him for it. They hated
(27:14):
him for it before he even got the job, if
you remember his confirmation hearings, because they knew he was
going to do this. Remember, if you are a activist, progressive,
you have to permeate your ideas, have to permeate every
part of society, academia, energy, healthcare, and the Pentagon too.
(27:37):
And they will not rest until straight, attractive, masculine men
who like to kill people for a living as soldiers
are gone. And we're all a bunch of Admiral Levine's
sitting there in dresses with our legs crossed talking about
climate change.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Daniel. Do you remember earlier this year, I mean way earlier.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
This year, when they first were going to confirm Pete
Hanksa in the Senate as the Secretary of Defense, before
it was called the Secretary of War, and they said
he had Neo Nazi tattoos all over his body, and
the tattoo he had, the single tattoo that was being
called into question was the Cross of Jerusalem. A lot
of discussion of this, and then days later Jimmy Carter dies.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Jimmy Carter dies.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
They bring him to the National Cathedral and there displayed
all over the floor of the National Cathedral with a
bird's eye view camera pointed down at the coffin where
the was the Cross of Jerusalem emblem all over the place,
just everywhere, Neo Nazi emblems all over the National Cathedral.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
We had to tear that down and rebuild it, right, Daniel.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
One, you know. And they never apologize to Pete for that,
and they won't because this is the viciousness of politics.
But again, this is very much a war on manhood, manliness,
on straightness, and that's why we have to be really,
really vigorous in our defense of people like Pete. I
(29:04):
mean again, look at the men who they put forward,
Tim Waltz, right, Corey Booker, and even the straight men
who they do put out are people like Eric Swalwell
who have sex with Chinese spies, and we try to
pretend that that's just all normal, right or Hunter Biden,
who has sex with everybody it seems, and leaves his
(29:25):
cocaine at the White House. So they don't want masculine men,
they don't want John Wayne. They want to push a
type of manhood. Who is Gavin Newsom, who is a
feat who is feminine, who cries, who speaks way too
more than an Italian. He speaks with his hand. And
that's what they That's the real war on Pete Heeksas
(29:46):
and the DoD is one of the last vestiges of manhood.
It is men who predominates. There are women, don't email me.
Of course there are women in the defense the male
of the War Department, but it is predominantly men who
go and fight our wars and straight men who who
like hierarchy and rigorous life and like role models. You know,
(30:10):
Recruitment is through the roof at the War Department because
eighteen year old guys who don't know what to do
with their life look at someone like Pete Haigshath and think,
you know what, there's a future in that. Like that
guy is cool. I want to be like him. I
want to do what he does, and that attracts young people,
especially young people who don't know what else to do
in this world. That has to be undone if you
(30:33):
are a leftist, and people like Pete have to be
destroyed in the process. I give President Trump a tremendous
credit for standing my Pete, because lesser men, like every
other Republican out there, would have thrown him overboard.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
By now, Pete seems like a cool guy to have
a drink with. Am I right? Am I right? Daniel?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Now, you know he swore on his inauguration and when
he was sworn in, he swore he would never have
one drink of alcohol while he was still serving. That's
up between him and his God. But but you know
what he is because I actually knew Pete before. That's
another conversation. And he was great, and he's funny, and
he he is the guy you want to have his
cigar with in your backyard because he'll tell you war
(31:15):
stories and he'll protect your family and he loves his country.
And you know, we used to love guys like that
in this country. And now again they give us people
like Tim Waltz. They give us people like Pritzker, Who's
who's who did you see Trump's comments? I never make
fun of fat people, never want to say he's a
fast flob. These are the people who they want us
(31:35):
to admire. Corey Bookers, Joaquin Joaquin Castro, no guy, no guy,
looks at these men and says, I want to be
like Pete Budha Jete, right, I want to I want
to hang out with the cross dressing transgen. It's repulsive,
it's uncomfortable, it's awkward. That's why young white straight men
(31:56):
predominantly are all becoming more and more conservative. It's why
Charlie Kirk had to be killed Kenny. It's what he
was attracting them too. They had to get rid of him.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
It's why one in three black men in Texas are
now voting for the Republican Party. Hey, real quick before
we run out of time, because we only have a
couple minutes left. Really big news story today involving the
alleged January fifth, January sixth, twenty twenty one pipe bomber
for those who don't remember, because it was a big
deal for about five minutes and then nobody talked about.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It for years.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Back in twenty twenty one, right before the inauguration of
Joe Biden. A hooded suspect placed viable pipe bombs, they claim,
near the DNC and the RNC headquarters in Washington, DC
every about four years. The FBI didn't have anything to
say about it. They didn't talk about it nothing. Then
last month, almost a month to this day, if I'm
not mistaken, Blaze Media had a bombshell. They named an
(32:49):
ex Capital cop, Shannie Kirkhoff, who is now a CIA
security expert, as a ninety ninety eight percent GAI Gate match,
I think is what they call that. They claim that
there was an FBI cover up. Intel sources we're confirmed
was promoted by Congressman Massey Luna louder Milk. The FBI
denied it, they said it was grossly inaccurate. Then today,
(33:12):
after five years, we just suddenly have arrested Brian Cole Junior,
age thirty, of Woodbridge, Virginia. Just suddenly realized, I think
we know who the pipe bomb suspect is. You gotta
admit the timing on this, Daniel is a little odd.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
I think this has to be the dumbest pipe bomber
in history, because if he has gotten away with it
for five years and he's just sitting on his couch
and they knocked on the door and arrested him. Like
this guy didn't try to hide in France, he didn't trust.
I just, you know, I think the deep state is
so real that even Republicans and good ones like Dan
(33:48):
Bongino aren't gonna undo it anytime soon. The pipe bomb
thing is one of those JFK assassination question marks that
will forever hang in the air. I take everything the
FBI does at this point with a grain of salt,
I really do. I I just can't believe at face value. Like, yep,
(34:10):
they got the guy five years What did they discover
now that they didn't know five years ago?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Right?
Speaker 4 (34:15):
You know what piece of evidence? So I just sorry
to no knock that cash Ptel and Dan Bongino. I
know you guys are trying. I just don't believe anything
the FBI does anymore.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Do you remember this?
Speaker 3 (34:27):
For twenty years, we didn't know who killed Tupac, and
many people speculated Puff Daddy Sean Combs had some connection
to the FBI that he was involved in it, but
they never prosecuted him because he was getting compromising videos
of celebrities and people in politics. And then all of
a sudden, right before they go out and they indict
Puff Daddy, right before they raid his home. Suddenly they discover, Oh, everybody, look,
(34:51):
we found the guy that shot Tupac twenty five thirty
years later.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Boy, what a weird coincidence.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
It wasn't Puff Daddy, so there's no reason to bring
it up at his trial.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Look, I'm not a conspiracy I'm not a conspiracy theorist,
but I kind of am. Daniel, do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 4 (35:05):
It's a little strange when you will you used to
go to his parties all the time. What did did
he tell you when you guys were partying at his house?
Did he tell you he had any connection?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Or he told me to wear white and bring baby oil.
That was what he told me.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Daniel Turner, Daniel Turner, Powerthefuture dot Com.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Merry Christmas to you, my good friend.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Low Blow Kenny, God bless you.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I think that's what Puff Daddy called it.
Speaker 6 (35:28):
This is Binney Santhus and you are listening to the
Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Now give me all of your money, because that's the
only thing that's fair.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
All right.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
We got late breaking news from the world of online
audio streaming. Bad Bunny has overtaken Taylor Swift as the
most streamed artist of the year.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Wow. Not bad for NFL's DEI hire. Am I right?
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Is this a spoiled, pappered, narcissistic Hollywood brat or what?
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Hollywood's a weird place? Or is it? Or is it
even a place anymore?
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Hollywood and the institution of the West Coast liberal elites
using multimillion dollar production projects to basically dominate and monopolize
the world of entertainment.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
It is crumbling before our very eyes.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
A recent report claims Hollywood has lost thirty percent of
their production over the last five years. The number of
on location films and TV production shoots happening in Los
Angeles has dropped by almost a third over the last
five years. The job losses have been substantial, with nearly
a third of the film industry workforce in La County
(36:47):
lost in just two years, which begs the question is
Hollywood dying? Is AI replacing Hollywood? Is technology replacing Hollywood?
You and I, with our iPhones and a little bit
of creativity and a handful of people who are decent actors,
can now create a movie a film. We can do
things that Hollywood used to be able to only do
(37:09):
using multimillion dollar production teams. Now I can use AI
to do what Jurassic Park or Star Wars once gave
us on the line. Right now, stand up. Comedian Tim
mathis the official Hollywood reporter for Pursuit of Happiness Radio, Tim,
what do you think about this, buddy?
Speaker 7 (37:26):
I think Hollywood really played itself during the pandemic and
it's probably never going to recover, at least not to
the strength that it had before, the relevance that it
had before. I mean, so many people, so many creatives,
including myself, moved out of Hollywood, a lot of it
because of how they handled the pandemic and the aftermath.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Of that that.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
I just don't think it's ever going to get back
on its feet one hundred percent like.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
It was before.
Speaker 7 (37:55):
You know, We've got New Mexico where I'm at, We've
got New York as as well, which has obviously always
been a big filming location, and we also have places
like Georgia and Texas, you know, so it's I don't
think it's ever going to get back to where it was,
and they have nobody to blame.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
But themselves.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, no kidding, and good ridance to all of them.
All right, let's talk about this today. Halle Berry. Speaking
of halle Berry, was once Catwoman. Catwoman was kind of
the anti hero, and some have compared Gavin Newsom to
Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho. Clearly just a
bad guy. Now, halle Berry, after years of pushing far
left political rhetoric, came out swinging against California Governor Gavin Newsom,
(38:38):
saying he probably should not be president due to his
policies on women. And while this isn't necessarily the reason
I dislike Gavin Newsom, at least her and I do
agree to dislike Gavin Newsom. She said she didn't like
Gavin Newsom because he boycotted the menopause bill, which is
exactly what it sounds like. In the state of California,
they had a bill to fund menopause treatment and care
(38:59):
and that sort of thing. And anyway, now that's going away,
Tim mathis what's your take on this? What do you
think about Gavin newso man Hanley Berry not being friends.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
As somebody who lived in California for a good while.
The entire sentence that Halle should have just stopped at
due to his policies, because his policies are awful.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Like I said, he's the guy.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
That piloted California and Los Angeles through the pandemic, the
aftermath the massive fires that we had just a year ago,
which was the primary reason I ended up leaving, because
you paid so much money for the ability to live
in California, in Hollywood specifically, and it's just not worth
(39:48):
it at this point.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
The taxes are too high.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
For example, I'm in New Mexico right now, and gas
is like two on average. In Hollywood it's still five
and six dollars because of the state taxes.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yeah, and that's just the beginning of what's wrong with
Gavin Newsom. Of all the things that are wrong with
Gavin Newsom, I got to think the menopause bill would
be the last thing on the list that I don't like.
But hey, at least we could both agree on one
thing we don't like, Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
All right, let's talk about this.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Netflix is pushing back against claims made in a cease
and desist letter from the disgraced music mogul Sean Diddy
Combs's legal team over their recently released docuseries Sean Combs
The Reckoning. Netflix says it's not supposed to be a
hit piece. No one was paid to participate. It all
started earlier this week, when Combs and his affiliates sent
(40:42):
Netflix a cease and desist deeming the four part docuseries
corporate retaliation against Puff Daddy, and notably, fifty Cent is
the guy that made it. A local Houston rapper and
entrepreneur owns a liquor company here in town. He has
been a public nemesis of Comb's long before the music
mogul September twenty twenty four arrest in federal indictment. I
(41:04):
tend to agree with the Netflix. It doesn't sound like
they made this. It doesn't it sound like it's supposed
to be a hit piece. Rapper fifty Cent put it together.
He doesn't like puff Daddy, and he seems to have
built a pretty good case of a reason not to
care for the guy. You are from Houston, You are
a rap officionado, Tim, What do you think is happening here?
Speaker 7 (41:26):
I like you said, I agree with Netflix. I mean,
come on, what did he complaining about? Like butt for Netflix?
His reputation would not be tarnished.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Get out of here.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
You know, when you're synonymous with illegal uses of baby
oil and bock Nellian parties of debauchery that are so
disgusting that you end up going to jail for them.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Like, what are you even complaining about at this point?
Speaker 7 (41:55):
Just shut up, dude, shut up and go do your sentence,
which is a little bit too.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Light in my opinion. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 7 (42:02):
Yeah, so it's like, just take your loss, man, because
it could have been worse.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
The thrill of live radio. Tim's phone does not sound

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
