Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Giganic government sucks. Suit of happiness radio is DeLux. Liberty
and freedom will make you smile. Of a suit of
happening us on your radio toil, just as cheeseburgers and
a liberty fries at food.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
A sebon worker in Wisconsin has been fired after a
racist outburst directed to two customers went viral. On the
bright side, she accidentally saved those customers' lives by preventing
them from meeting twelve thousand calorie cinnamon rolls.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
I was really nice of her.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hi, everybody, Kenny Webster here today, let's jump right into
the Epstein Files. No, it's not a rerun. It's one
of those things is just keeps coming back again and
again and again and again, like a like a.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Crazy stalker or herpes.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Okay, all right, I don't actually know what that's like,
but I would imagine it probably really sucks.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
There's a report today at hottier dot.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Com and it details how Republicans and Democrats are playing
chicken with each other over the Epstein files. As a
matter of fact, this morning, the inable, the inevitable crash
got a little closer. Sorry, I'm a little too excited
to be on the radio right now, or at least
the egg got closer to a lot of faces, as
we'll see.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
In a warning here. Here's what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
A federal judge just released the material from a grand
jury investigation into the Epstein sex trafficking case. Now, after
a court in Florida unsealed the original grand jury material
from eighteen years ago, a New York court has ordered
the release of the material from a grand jury probe
in twenty nineteen into Gallaine Maxwell. Aren't you impressed I

(01:40):
said her name correctly? Here's what the report says. The
Justice Department can publicly release investigated materials from a such
trafficking case against Gallaine Maxwell, the longtime confidant of Jeffrey Epstein, confidante.
That's a funny way to describer. Judge Paul Engelmeyer ruled
after the Justice Department in November asked two jeff in

(02:00):
New York to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits from
Maxwell and Epstein's cases. And along with that comes investigated
material that could amount to hundreds or probably more accurately,
thousands of previously unreleased documents. So, as a lot of
you may remember, there was a bill that was passed
by Congress. It was signed by Donald Trump. It had

(02:22):
similar impact with ingle Meyer as it did with the
judge Rodney Smith in Florida. Unlike Smith's relatively terse order,
ingle Myer issued a twenty four page ruling which essentially
came down to the same rationale so Smith did with
much less fanfare.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Inglemeyer now concludes that the.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
New statute passed by Congress overrides the rules governing grand
jury secrecy in this one instance. Inglemeyer earlier notes that
Congress identified both Epstein and Maxwell by name and clearly
intended for the full release of the data in a
new statute. Now it kind of gets deep into the

(03:00):
murky waters of a bunch of legal talk, but get
ready for a very large nothing burger. In part the
reason why that reflects the nature of the case that
the DOJ prepped for Maxwell after Epstein's death. Prosecutors recognized
that any attempt to prove that Maxwell traffic girls to
anyone other than Epstein himself would damage the victims and

(03:23):
likely be difficult to prove. So in short, the Maxwell
documents getting released, they're not really gonna amount to much,
But I still think we need to support releasing this stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I know.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
As a lawmaker in Louisiana, a Maga Republican that voted
against releasing them, but everybody else in the government wanted
to do it, and frankly, we should be releasing this stuff.
We've been screaming about releasing the documents since the day
we found out the documents existed. Nobody's above the law.

(03:58):
It's time to prove it. If there's a pedo island
out in the middle of the Caribbean somewhere, billionaires shouldn't
be getting a free pass just because they're rich and connected.
The whole law and order thing is kind of like
just a bumper sticker for a lifted f one fifty.
If you're not down with this, nothing gets me more

(04:18):
excited than the words deep state and blackmail and compromat
and the same sentence, it's time to release the documents.
Unsealing these files is basically Christmas Morning for anyone who
owns more than three don't tread on me flags, and
let's be honest, half the fun of releasing these documents
is going to be watching democrats suddenly discover the virtues

(04:39):
of redactions and privacy rights. And the so called let's
not rush to judgment talking points popcorn futures just went bullish.
My friends by yourself a box right now. Trump promised
he'd release this it's time to do it. He literally
said he'd release the list on day one. We're on
day whatever in counting at this point. To say it

(05:00):
longer than the F thirty five program is starting to
look suspicious.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Folks.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
You know ninety percent of Americans want these files released.
They're remaining three percent probably just don't watch the news.
And that includes your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. When even
the guy who thinks the moon landing was staged and
the Earth is flat wants the files released. You've achieved
bipartisan consensus. Don't be the party that says no to
drunk Uncle Ricky. And look, I don't want to make

(05:30):
this seem silly or marginalize it, but just think of
the memes, Think of the tears, think of AOC tweeting.
Believe all women unless they're in the Epstein files. The
content pop loot pipeline would last until twenty thirty two.
You already know how this movie ends. CNN drops a
bombshell with four hundred strategic redactions, and suddenly Trump is

(05:54):
the only name anyone remembers. Rip the band aids off yourselves, cowboys.
We know Trump's James mentioned in there.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
We know it is.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
That doesn't mean he did anything wrong. Dropping a few
binders to friendly influencers while keeping the real stuff locked
up sucks. That's not transparency. That's a TikTok dance. I
want the whole hard drive. I don't want the greatest
hits album?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
What the B sides? Kids?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
If you spent the last five years yelling about pizza
shops and andrenochrome, but suddenly you get the vapors when
someone says, unseal the court documents. People are allowed to
laugh at you, and they should. Draining the swamp is
cute until the swamp has photos of you on a
private island with a seventeen year old girl. Let's find
out who actually got on the plane, who's on the

(06:40):
actual flight log, who's the final boss, folks, Because at
the end of the day, we're either against human trafficking
or we're not. And if you're not against human trafficking,
I don't know what the hell you're listening to this radio.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Show for screw you.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
I'm going to Texas and thank our lucky stars, sorry,
our lucky lone star we did. This is Kitty Webster's
pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
All right.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Today is Christmas Card Day, and December twenty third is
oh crap, I forgot to send Christmas cards Day, and
then there's throwaway your Christmas Cards Day, which is every
day I receive a Christmas card.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Sorry everybody. I don't know what to do with them?
What do you want?

Speaker 2 (07:28):
What am I supposed to do with it? I'm a
single guy, I live in the city. What I'm gonna
make a collage with it?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
What the hell? Hi?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Everybody, Welcome back from break Coming up in a little bit,
Brandon Walton's from Texas scorecard dot Com is joining us.
He and I will be talking politics in Texas.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
But one thing we're not going to.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Talk about is what we're going to talk about right now,
which is Jasmine Crockett. Ooh, that was the big reveal,
humble brag. I knew she was getting announced before she announced. Now,
I will tell you this, that's not that good of
a brag. Most people in Texas politics knew about it. It
was kind of a very poorly kept secret. A secret
I was in on that a less people knew about
was that Colin alrid was going to drop out.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
First, the.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, the poor guy's had a lot of concussions. Remember
he used to play football for a living. I'm sure
whatever's going on in his brain isn't good. I mean,
he's a liberal after all. But all that being said,
Colin Allred, who used to play in the NFL, has
already ran and lost in a Senate race, and whatever
the benefits are from doing it. You know, Wendy Davis
and Beto O'Rourke and all these other Democrats that ran
in high profile statewide campaigns, they never win. But then

(08:33):
that's not the point. They're not supposed to win. They're
supposed to go off and write a book, get a
TV deal, become a lobbyist, and that pays a lot
of money.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
They know that.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I think most people know Jasmine Crockett is not going
to be the next Senator of Texas. The next Senator
of Texas well, I don't even think it's gonna be
John Cornyn. I think it's either going to be Paxton
or Wesley Hunt. But that's not important. Regardless of what
happens in the Republican primary, somebody is going to go
up against somebody in the general election. So right now,
it all comes down to two candidates for the Democrats.

(09:01):
One of them is Jasmine Crockett and the other one
is James Tallerica. Now, for those that don't know who
James is, he is not as famous as our good
friend Jasmine is. Unfortunately, well, fortunately whatever, James Tillerico is
well known among people in Texas politics. He's a single
white preacher, right he's in seminary school, and his whole shtick,

(09:24):
his whole gimmick is that he finds things in the
Bible and he figures out a way to tell you, oh,
this is why the Bible says it's okay to get
an abortion, this is why the Bible says trans kids
are okay. So you know, it's almost demonic if you're
a religious person, it's very odd. But I'm in this
group text with a bunch of political people, a bunch
of media people, journalists. Some of them are leftists, they're

(09:46):
not all conservatives. Many of them are Democrats as a
matter of fact, And earlier today we were having an
argument in that group text about who will be the
next who will be the next Democrat nominee, Who's going
to be the candidate for the Democrats in the Senate race?
And I said, Jasmine Crockett. I was the only one
that people believe. I was the only person making that point.
Nobody else thought so everyone else said James t Allerico.

(10:09):
And here's why they said this. They said, Kenny, Hispanics
are not going to vote for Jasmine. Whites are not
going to vote for Jasmine. I said, BS. White women
will definitely vote for Jasmine.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
They will.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
But I'm going to break something down for you, and
especially for my next guest, Daniel Turner from Power of
the Future.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I've been a little long in the tooth year. I
want to get his take on this. Here.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I'm going to break down the Democrat primary voters for you.
Thirty three percent of them are black. Those are all
going to Jasmine. Thirty five percent of them are Hispanic.
I bet most of those go to James t Allerico.
I bet most of them do. Unless James comes out
as a gay guy, then he gets none of them.
A remaining twenty five percent or white, non Hispanic, all

(10:48):
right on the line right now, Daniel Turner from Power
the Future. I know that was the longest intro I
ever gave you, but as you know, I have a
lot to say about this Daniel.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
First of all, welcome to the show. What do you
think of who do you think those votes go to?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Twenty nine percent white, Hispanic, thirty three percent black? Who
gets whitch vote? Between James and Jasmine? Let's hear your take.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Jasmin Crockett has it wrapped up at this point, especially
once Colin already announced that he was not seeking it.
He he has state nominated as statewide name recognition as
you mentioned, from running his last campaign, so he would
have been the best candidate. But since he's not going,
Jasmine has it wropped.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
It wrapped up.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
And the reason why is because white liberals at this
point hate white people. They think whiteness is a crime,
is a sin. Heck, have you seen the white liberals
who are complaining that the color of the year is
that off shade of white. I don't follow follow color
very often in style guides, but I guess this group
announces every year that the color of the year and

(11:48):
it was this off shade of white, and white liberals
were crazy about it how offensive that is, and we
need to cancel whiteness so you don't get much whiter
than James. And those white people are going to vote
for Jasmine because it makes them feel good about themselves.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Daniel from I agree with everything you just said.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
And for those that don't know what he's talking about,
Pantone is a company that makes either paint or something.
You know, you get those color swatch you know, the
book of colors that you can get so you can
figure out what color your wall is supposed to be.
Listen how angry white women are about this.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
You're not going to convince me that this was not
an intentional move.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
There's no way that this was an oversight, like someone
did this on purpose. Pantone just released their color of
the Year for twenty twenty six, and it is severely
lacking pigment.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's white. Not a good look. The optics of this
not good.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Not good.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Pantone is white even technically a color. In the Year
of the.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Alligator Alcatraz and Sydney Sweeney and her good American eagle jeans.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I just want to explain what we're looking at on
the screen here. It's a white lady with a white
couch and a white Christmas tree who's offended by the color?

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now, I know what you're thinking. That must be the
only one. No, there's more.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Here's another white lady burning color pamphlets in her backyard.
She's got the colors and she's burning them.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
You're fired. You really chose white, now, Daniel, How do
we talk sense into these people?

Speaker 5 (13:20):
That's why these people are There's no way they can
vote for James doing anything with you know. They're the
people who find a black person to take a photo with,
to put it on their Instagram, to let everybody know
they have a black friend.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
Right.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
They go out of their way to eat Asian food
with their hands because that's like the new trend now
is you eat with your fingers. It's barbaric and disgusting,
but it shows how you are overcoming colonialism because the
fork as a form of colonial oppression. So these folks
have to vote for Jasmine Crocker, right, It's why they
get excited about Kamala. You know, there were things to

(13:55):
get excited about Obama two thousand and eight because he
was a big liar. He pretended he was a moderate,
He pretended he was a patriot. He pretended he had
common sense ideas that would bring us together. We all
know that was a lie. So you could give white
people a pass in two thousand and eight for thinking
Obama was not insane. But those days are long gone.

(14:17):
It's no longer two thousand and eight. And when they
look at someone like Jasmine Crockett, who is genuinely insane and.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
Just flamm I thought it was brilliant.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
Whatever the statement Cornan put out, that she is basically
just flamboyant and noise and unseerious, and that's what she is.
And that's exactly why white people will vote for her,
because it makes them feel better about themselves.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
All right, who do you think? It's the Republican nomination?

Speaker 6 (14:43):
So for one, I am going to say that Krannan's
going to pull it out.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
And the reason why is because I think that Paxton
and Wesley Hunt are going to divide that faction. Right,
there's a lot of Maga folks that don't believe Cornan
is one of them. They think he's not conservative enough.
There's an awful lot of Cornyn that I think he's
done in the past that that makes me a little disappointed.
His Juneteenth Proclamation, most of all, his gun control legislation

(15:10):
most of all. Right, So I understand that there are
conservatives who were unhappy with Cornyan, but then you have
the conservatives who now are going to be split. And
if it goes a third to third and a third,
I think there are more moderates than there are the
other two camps, and I think Cornan pulls it out.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Can I make a prediction right now? And by the way,
I'd be happy with that. I'd be happy with Paxton
or Wesley Hunt. I'd be happy with either of them.
I think they're both great candidates. I think Paxton comes
in first, Wesley comes in second, John comes in third.
None of them have enough to win, so they go
so Pax, Paxton, and Wesley go to a runoff, at
which point Wesley gets all of Cornyn's votes.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Ah, I didn't know. So sexist.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
You have to do the majority, it's not plurality.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Then I would agree with you.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
I thought it was just whoever gets the most most
votes on.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
Election night would be the winner.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
People hate Cornyn, I mean republic primary voters Saytam, you
know he can't speak at the state party convention. He
got booed off the stage at his own Parties convention.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, I thought his June teenth was a level of
pandering that hurt a lot of people. You know, we
have to rewind the clock and go back to twenty twenty.
The George Floyd debacle. Everything about those couple of weeks
and months, but from the burning of the cities to
the shooting of police, that was a level of insanity. Now,
it was hyped up because it was twenty twenty, because

(16:29):
they didn't want President Trump to win. I think they
were trying to create a moment and they succeeded. You
need senior voices to not pander to the crowd. And
when John Cornyn was like, you know what, we need
to assuage all of the concerns an African American holiday,
that lost it just it pandered, and it showed that

(16:51):
it showed a sense of like white guilt, like you
know what, we are all guilty for this. There is
deep racism in this country. George Floyd's blood is on
all of our hands. And you don't want that in
your elected officials. One because it's a lie, and two
because if you can't stand up for the truth, what
are you going to ever stand up for?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, and you know, the thing about Juneteenth is an
interesting point. I'd actually forgotten about that, and I'm neck
deep in Texas politics all the time.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
The other thing.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Everyone's mad at him right now for Daniel is Afghanistan.
A lot of these Afghan refugees are here right now
because of a program that John Cornyn and John Kennedy
and Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and all the usual
suspects were responsible for. Not long ago, I found an
old letter from Dan Crenshaw begging the federal government to
send more Afghanistan migrants here. My concern is this, John

(17:40):
Corny's going to eat up a lot of resources trying
to win a primary in his own state.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Whether he wins or not.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
We've got Senate races in swing states right now, Georgia
one of the two, and I think North Carolina Michigan.
If we lose those races, I blame John Cornyn for it.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
I think the big concern that techs has and Texas.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Is a red state.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
There's no doubt Beato got the closest in recent memory,
and it was very close against Ted Cruz. But Cruz
still pulled it out. My biggest concern is that when
you anger enough folks on the right, they do stay home.
There's that fascinating statistic from twenty twelve that said that
if Mitt Romney had just gotten the same amount of

(18:24):
white men voters that John McCain had received four years earlier,
he would have beat Obama in reelection, meaning that a
lot of like thirty five to whatever demographic white men
just didn't come out and vote for Romney. They didn't
like the guy right, didn't vote for him, and they
stayed home. Rick Santorum lost in two thousand and six.
I know we're going back in time now, almost twenty years,

(18:46):
same difference, right, The same Republican voters who voted for
Bush in Pennsylvania and four just didn't go out in six.
They don't like the guy. They stayed home. And if
Cornyn does win the general, that could be the biggest
con is that, I'm sorry, if he wins the primary,
the biggest concern is that he gets to the general
and the gops to spend one hundred million dollars just

(19:06):
to get voters out because they're just going to stay home.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
It's a good point right, everybody thinks that Cornyn is
the safe vote. I don't think he is. I think
Paxton or Wesley is the safe vote. Because last year
we had Republicans winning in Texas. It was the second
biggest margin victory for Republicans in a statewide election in
twenty twenty four with Trump on the ballot in the
last two decades.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
It was a huge victory.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
And not coincidentally, it happened after hang on I got
the list on my screen. One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight. New election integrity laws put into effect in
just since the pandemic, including one that's supposed to affect
Harris County's election oversight right here in Houston, where the
most shady stuff happens. If Republicans have a decent candidate,

(19:53):
they're going to win every statewide race in the state.
John Cornyn could actually be the guy that makes everybody
lose everybo he's the safe vote. He might it might
actually be the opposite.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
It's a It's a great point, and it has to
be deeply concerning for the Senate Committee because this is
supposed to be one of the safe ones. The good news,
the silver lining in all of this, though, my brother
is that you can always trust the Democrats. As Rush
Limbo would say, if there was a bag of manure
or bag of excrement and he was called it in
the middle of a room, they would find a way

(20:26):
to step in him. And if your nominee is Jasmine Crockett,
we can always be fairly confident that she can blow
the whole thing up. I mean, this woman is is
insane and unhinged, and the sad thing about politics now
is that she gets off on being more and more unhinged.
I think our politicians look at Trump and they see
how candid he is, how he's just off the cuff,

(20:49):
and they try to emulate it. But but you know,
he's from Queen's and I'm from Queen's so I can
say that with pride. And he is also almost eighty
like there's a naturalness about his whether you call it
as being crass or his vulgar or his cursing. Not
everyone has that luxury. So when Jasmine or any other
Democrat in particular try to act like Trump, it's just

(21:12):
very off putting, right, it makes them look look dumb
and stupid. When Trump drops bs or drops the F bomb.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
It works.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Why is that, Kenny. I don't know why it is.
It's the mystery of Donald Trump. But when Democrats do it,
it makes them less likable and Jasmine. The more she
has a microphone and the more she is desperate to win,
the crazier she will get and the worse she will look.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, bottom line made then she had a safe
seat in Congress. Now she's caught, probably going to lose
a Senate race. What why what does she want to do?
What's the next thing for her?

Speaker 3 (21:48):
I mean, could the view get worse?

Speaker 7 (21:52):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (21:52):
Yes, that would be a great spot for her. You know,
MSNBC gig. She is always going to have the title
of former congresswoman and she can always authoritatively say when
I was in Congress, X, Y and z. So maybe
a TV gig, certainly not in any elected you know what, Kenny,
Maybe she runs for your great mayor of Houston. Yeah,

(22:16):
interesting from Houston. No, she's from Dallas Fort Worth. But
it wouldn't stop her from doing it. We went away
for anything.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
We went. We went way along on this.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
We got to run my buddy, Daniel Turner Powerthfuture dot
Com follow him on ext Daniel Turner PTF. He'll be
glad you didn't.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
You were listening to Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness, where
everyone is welcome, even scum sucking maggots swallowing socialist bastards
you used to refer to as mom.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
A Michigan man who received a kidney transplant died because
the kidney donor had rabies.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
I know it sounds crazy, folks, but this is.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yet another reminder to not accept organ donations from raccoons.
It's not a good idea. Ladies and gentlemen, here's another
thing you probably shouldn't do. Don't join the Texas Democrat
Party right now or do.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
It didn't really affect me much, but I wouldn't if
I were you. Odd things are afoot. You know, yesterday
was the filing deadline, so obviously there is a lot
of attention on who is and who isn't running. And
I can't help but notice one person who is not
running right now. And I told you guys this was
going to happen months ago. The possible primary candidate to

(23:32):
Steve Toath and Dan Crenshaw, a woman who has multiple aliases,
a woman who had just moved to the state some
of you that don't follow us on social media don't
know what I'm talking about. There was a woman that
popped up on our radar months ago, a very suspicious
character who didn't appear to be from Texas. She had
nine different aliases. Her ex husband accused her of being

(23:53):
a big, a mist, a weird, strange character. Her own
sister got on the phone with members of this radio
show and told us she was a con artist and
a scammer.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
And oddly enough, yesterday we learned she did not file.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Now I told you guys, I got kicked out of
a Cypress Texas tea party meeting for trying to warn
people about this woman.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Oh now I'm the bad guy. Sorry, this isn't about me.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Brandon Waltons from Texas scorecard dot Com is here right now. Brandon,
you probably know who I'm talking about, don't you? Well?

Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yes, as the Zalari right, Ava Zolari.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Isn't it like I don't understand what it takes to
convince people that some candidate is a con artist.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
I talked about this months ago.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Her AI generated profile photo doesn't look anything like her
in real life.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Don't you think that's a red flag?

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Yeah? You think it would certainly clue some people. And
I don't know. I think there's a yeah, I love
I love X. You know, I certainly use social media.
I think it can be great forgetting news, for having
discussions on things. But there is another side to it,
which is that unfor Actually, it does look like there
are people out there, like Ava Valari, like some of

(25:05):
these other candidates that find it profitable. I think to
just run, they pay their filency, which is you know,
five hundred dollars one thousand dollars coming in with what
they're running for, and then they can get They think
they can get a bunch of engagement and make that
money back from payouts from X. And look, I mean
maybe it is profitable for some of these people, but

(25:26):
it's not a very prossible way to spend your time
following them.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah, it's not good for Texas. It's not good for voters.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
You're investing your time and energy in a person that's
not going to be a real candidate, and you might
even give them money. What a mistake that would be.
All right, here's another candidate. I wouldn't give money to.
A woman ran for secretary of State in Missouri. Now
she's not from Missouri. She was originally from Columbia, but
before she left Columbia and went to Missouri, she went

(25:53):
to New Jersey, where this foreign born immigrant decided to
get into politics. I don't understand why. Valentina Gomez to me,
is a clown. I don't see her as being a
not a serious person. It's almost like she's costplaying as
a maga Republican. She'll show up places and scream about
Islam and this and that. But it's very clear she's

(26:14):
playing an act. To me, it just looks very disingenuous,
and I'm not even sure she's a real woman. She
kind of looks like a transgender to me. Prove me wrong, Valentina,
Actually don't. I don't want to be proven wrong on that.
But now apparently, after not running for office in New
Jersey losing in Missouri estate, she's not even from we
learned she's running for office near the Texas Scorecard office

(26:35):
in Hill Country, Brandon.

Speaker 6 (26:36):
Is this true?

Speaker 7 (26:38):
Yeah, actually, in the district that I'm running it and
by the that I live in, and by the way
you might recall, I mean she was for a minute
running a little bit closer to you I think it
was in that Dan Crenshaw, see right.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Right, Yeah, well they claim they claimed that, yeah, that
she was going to run against Dan Crenshaw.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
She never did then and then instead decided to run
up here. I don't know, man, it's weird though she's
got you know, I took a picture and put it
on my ex just saying, you know, this is an
interesting campaign strategy. They started putting Valentina Gomez signs, literally
tying them the street signs to stop signs, although it

(27:16):
says now stop Valentina Gomez. I'm not sure that's the
message that she wants to send. But in any cases,
there's something about you know, it's interesting. There's congressional races
there typically are a ton of people who run for it.
I think it's because they think, well, you know, I
might as well throw my name in the hat and
if something could happen, you know, maybe who knows, maybe

(27:37):
I could win. It does seem like CD thirty one,
which is over where I'm at, currently represented by John Carter,
who's one of the oldest members of the Legislature of Congress,
seems to be attracted because he's it's attracted not only
Valentina Gomez. But we've also got the sham Wow guy.
I don't even know his name, but it's the sham
Wow guy as well. File to Run. So it's a

(28:00):
it's a real circus over here.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Okay, let's talk about that for a minute. For those
that don't remember sham Wow. It was a product that
was sold during late night infomercials years ago. It's a towel, right,
it's super absorbent towel or something like that. And he
has shown up in the news a handful of times
for odd suspicious reasons. Apparently he got arrested or he

(28:22):
got into trouble for fighting a prostitute who bit his
tongue or something he pressed. I don't remember if he
got arrested or she got arrested, but he was in
the news because he had.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
A violent interaction, right exactly.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
So then, oddly enough, it seems as though he hired
Valentina Gomez to appear in a political ad for him,
and according to another journalist, you and I both know
she was supposed to share the content on social media,
but instead of doing that, she took money from him.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I'm told I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I've never confirmed this or verified it and then didn't
share his video that she's featured, and instead she's running
for office against him. Doesn't matter. Donald Trump's already endorsed
the incumbent. Neither the sham Wow guy nor Valentina Gomez Brandon.
Forgive me for being the one in the room to
say this, but don't these people kind of make us
all look silly since we're in their party.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
You know, I think it is certainly a side show.
I think, you know, this isn't, like I said, this
is anything new. Look on any congression, it's very rare
that any of these people go actually unopposed. Typically on
any of these ballot places, you'll find at least a
few people running against the incumba. And when it's an
open race, forget it. There's there can be you know,
twenty twenty names sometimes on the ballot. I mean, all
you have to do is is pay the I think

(29:41):
for Congress at seven hundred and fifty dollars, so not nothing,
But it's also attainable for a lot of people. You know,
it's all it takes to get on the ballot. And
so there tends to be a lot of these kooky candidates.
But maybe mayste Social media has helped maybe amplify some
of those voices that otherwise we wouldn't have seen before.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Sometimes I wonder if I should be a grifter. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
I just don't have an emmy to sit around all
day and get involved in carnival esque escapades or circus
sideshow like forms of theatrics. It just seems silly to me.
And I'm a comedian. Brandon.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
No, Well, let me you know, Kenny, I meant to
actually send this to you earlier, but I'll just tell
you right now. I was really amazing. We had Tony
Buzzby on for an interview this last weekend. It's a
great air. You can go texascorecard dot com and watch it.
But I was looking at Buzzby's ex account, you know,

(30:39):
high profile guy, right big. He follows fifteen people on X.
One of them is Nicki Minaj and one of them
is you. Kenny. You are one of the fifteen people
that Tony Buzzby follows on X. What an honor.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah, Tony's a good friend and acquaintance. He's been on
the show many times. We got behind him when he
ran for mayor against Sylvester Turner. We got behind him
when he ran in city council. Tony is a populist.
I'm a populist. Tony is a winner. I mean not
in business, he is in the legal world. He is
in politics. He's very much an outsider. And as you know,
there's a lot of gatekeeping in politics, and they prevented him.

(31:15):
The system was designed to stop him from winning more
than once. I think, I don't know, that's just my
two cents. What do you think?

Speaker 7 (31:21):
Oh, yeah, he's a super interesting, super interesting guy that
has quite a story, not even just you know, representing
Ken Taxon in Peter trial, but you know, doing his
work for Rick Perry when when that case is going through.
He's just got a ton of interesting stories.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
And then rags to riches down to earth.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
You know.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Came from a poor family in Atlanta, Texas, which is
a suburb of Texarcana, with like what does that even mean?
And Texarkana has suburbs. They don't have a skyline, went
to became an aggie, became a marine, married into old
money even though he's new money. I think Tony is
an interesting guy. I think a lot of people wrote
off the political evolution of Tony Busby as he came

(32:04):
and got red pilled, and you know, a humble bragg.
I think I was one of the first people here
in Houston to notice he was doing it.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
Yeah, I used to used to be a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Now you got me.

Speaker 7 (32:14):
There's a pretty strong force in Republican politics, and then
the Republican things in Houston and in Texas. And well
now I've just now I've just got a new goal
and now I just need to be number sixteen.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Yeah, I hope you are. I'll put in a good
word for you, mom.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Man Brando Bradan, y'all are always doing awesome work at
texascorecard dot com. And obviously if people are too cheap
to buy a Christmas present for their friends or family members,
they could get them a subscription into the Texas Scorecard
newsletter at your website.

Speaker 7 (32:45):
Right, that's true, it's free. But of course you don't
have to tell your family that, no.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
And while you're at it, folks, follow Brandon Walton's on

This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine p.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Finally, some good news, Some good news from New York City.
Ladies and gentlemen. Shootings in New York City are at
record lows. Experts credit the fact that Alec Baldwin spending
more time in la Now, I think that is the
only answer to that. Can we talk a little bit
about what is going on in the world of journalism?
J'all remember who Olivia Nuzzy is. Olivia Nuzzy is the
woman who she's a journalist and she has sent unsolicited

(33:38):
dirty pictures to RFK Junior. Well, don't believe a word
you're reading, Leno John Hussey. Olivia Nuzzy, as the Brightbart
dot com editors put it, and Vanity Fair are not
partying warris over a breach of journalistic ethics. Olivia Nuzzy
was this woman who wrote for the Washington Post in
the New York Times, and supposedly as a teenage girl,

(33:59):
she had a sex relationship with Keith Olberman and a
sexual relationship with Mark Sandford, according to her ex fiance,
and she tried to get RFK Junior to you know,
put out or whatever while he was running for president,
and that didn't happen, so she wrote a hit piece
on him. Well, now she's been fired from Vanity Fair,
which is also condye Nast, where she wrote a book

(34:20):
recently about how she likes having sex and being a journalist.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
It's female journalists hate her because the way that she
gets the story is by using her body to seduce men,
or at least that's what people think. It's kind of
like the journalist in the first season of the TV
show House of Cards.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
If you've ever seen that. Anyway, now she's out.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
She's been fired from a Vanity Fair, and she's out
for only one reason, the belief that her violation of
journalistic ethics helped Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, you got to see the matrix.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
What do you think that suddenly a leftist outlet like
Vanity Fair caught a case of journalistic integrity? Vanity Fair?
You think Vanity Fair fired Olivia Nuzzy for having trying
to have sex with RFK Junior. They don't care Vanity Fair,
Vanity Fairs garbage. Hang on, here's some Vanity Fair headlines.
Vanity Fair Second Amendment must be removed from the constitution,

(35:15):
fashion notes. Vanity Fair snubs Milania, honors Michelle Obamia on
best dress list. Vanity Fair busted pushing traffic ranking huoks
to smear Breitbart media, Obama coordinate Romney smear with pro occupiers.
Vanity Fair article echoes all the way back to twenty twelve. Yeah,
here's the narrative currently being spun to pretend Vanity Fair

(35:36):
is all about journal and ism ming, you know, journalism.
Right after hiring Olivia Nuzzy as its West Coast editor,
Vanity Fair editor Mark Gouducci strapped on a shocked face
to pretend he was a gas to learn that the
hussy might have an ethical problem. After she was fired
for that prestigious role, Nuzzy's former two time cuck and

(35:59):
fiance Ran Lizza, I'll get to why he's a cuck
in a minute, went the full bitter cuck route and
published a series of substack essays. He wrote articles on
the Internet you could subscribe to him pay for exposing
what everyone already knew years before Vanity Fair hired her,
that Olivia Nuzzy is a hussy with zero ethics. Turns
out she not only allegedly had an intense personal relationship

(36:20):
with the left'smost hated the politician current one of the
left's most hated politicians, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Kennedy Junior. She also allegedly.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Banged a Republican former South Carolina Governor Mark Sandford. In
both cases, her ex husband, ex fiance, ex boyfriend claims
Olivia was assigned to cover her alleged bangese.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
In fact, the elite.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
DC couple had book contracts to cover both alleged bangese. Hilarious,
Ryan Lizza stuck with Olivia Nuzzy after the Sandford incident, which,
once you add in the Robert F. Kennedy Junior incident,
makes Ryan Lizza a two time cook. More than once.
He knew that his woman was out banging older men,
and he just tolerated it. Here's what Vanity Fair already

(37:10):
knew about the serial side piece. They knew Olivia Uzzy
when they hired her. They knew that New York Magazine
had fired her over the Kennedy thing. They knew she
once broke into the Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski's home.
They knew she wasn't even a good writer. Kind of
amazing and still they gave her a job. But now

(37:31):
now we're supposed to believe she was fired because of
the integrity. She wrote a book for them about how
she was having sex as a journalist. They know that
the real reason she's out is her interview with a
news outlet called Bulwark. It's an anti Trump conservative news outlet,
they claimed, where she was shamed for not torpedoing RFK
Junior's nomination as the Health and Human Services Secretary. As

(37:55):
far as the corporate media is concerned, she aided and
abetted the Trump administration. All she had to do to
return to the good graces of the legacy media was
to answer to the Bulwarks softball question with a brazen lie.
They asked her, you know, did you try to stop
RFK Junior from getting a job, and she said no,
as long as it benefits the fascist left wing cause,

(38:16):
Lying bias, protecting your own withholding information, in venting sources,
breaking and entering, and being an overall scumbag is not
a sin in the corporate media.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
It's a virtue. Ah.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
But if you do anything that might hurt the cause,
then it's over. My friends, Before we get out of here,
I always like to leave the show with a little
good news.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Y'all need some good news.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
No, no, no, right wing corporate talk radio is too negative.
I think, well, how about this one. People online have
now donated almost two million dollars to help an eighty
eight year old in Michigan retire his name's ed bombas
he went viral last week after a positivity influencer shared
a video of him working at a grocery store. Ed
lost his pension when GM went bankrupt. Then his wife

(38:56):
got sick and passed away. He had to go back
to work in his nineties late eighties and go work
at a grocery store. He went back to work. You're
trying to pay off two hundred thousand dollars in medical debt.
Over the weekend he found out how much people donated.
Here is the moment he got the awesome news. I'm sorry,
I'm playing the wrong SoundBite.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Here. Here is the moment he got the awesome news.
Play the right sound much.
