Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack gannon government sucks, pursuit of happiness. Radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
happening us on your radio to Ole Justice, cheezburg is
Libery Rise at.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The CEO of Walmart is retiring.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
During his time at the Helm, he served millions of
customers and three of them had teeth. Hi, everybody, I'm
Kenny Webster, and thanks for joining us this afternoon. Who's
coming by? Tony Ortiz is stopping by from Current Revolt
dot com with all the latest gossip from the Texas
political realm. We'll tell you about what's going on with
Dan Crenshaw and Corey Mills and the Epstein files, and
(00:47):
we're gonna talk a lot about that. Actually, in fact,
Steve Tolt will be stopping by. He's Dan Crenshaw's opponent.
We'll give you the latest dirt on Dan Crenshaw's scandals,
and we're gonna get nerdy. Larry Ward is here a
conservative expert on AI to make some predictions about what
you can.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Expect to happen in the next few years. If you're an.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
American loving patriot and you fear technology, your concerns are valid,
but it won't be as bad as you think. In fact,
there will be many pros to accompany the cons. We'll
explain what that means before we get to any of that.
Can we start off with this? Where am I sorry?
I'm just going through my notes here. Okay, So big
news tomorrow We're about to get the Epstein files. Those
(01:24):
are about to get dumped on us, and I'm sure
a lot of you already have opinions about it. The
Epstein client list drops tomorrow and half the country is
acting like it's the Rapture, only with more lawyers. Democrats
are sweating through their Patagonia ves. Republicans are popping the popcorn,
and as they should be. And here's why the Red
team gets to sleep like babies tonight. We'll start off
(01:46):
with this, the money trail. Jeffrey Epstein's political donations read
like a DNC Christmas card. Over a decade, he dropped
almost one hundred and fifty grand on Democrats and much
less on Republicans, and not the Republicans that of any
association with the current Republican Party as we know at
the old school neocon Republicans, many of whom are now
liberals or at least support the Liberals or the Democrats.
(02:09):
So that's not a partisan gap, that's a grand canyon
with mood lighting. Epstein gave Republicans the kind of cash
you leave on a nightstand when you're embarrassed. Do you
get what I'm saying here?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
As for the Lolita Express frequent flyer club Bill Clinton
twenty six trips twenty six, that's not dropping by the island,
that's a timeshare. Donald Trump zero flights on the Pedo
Express after the year two thousand. He did one leg
back in the nineties, back when Epstein was still pretending
to be a finance bro instead of a human trafficker
(02:41):
with a private jet. And the second Trump sniffed the
creep factor. You know what happened, that is when he
banned Epstein from mar A Lago. Banned like escorted out
by the Secret Service ban. Of course, there was no
Secret Service there at the time. But that's the difference
between knew a guy once and built the guy against House.
(03:01):
Now let's talk about this. The current body count of
panicked Democrats, it's pretty high. You got Hollywood crying. Those
aren't exactly right wing extremists. You got former governor's lawyering up.
You got at least one ex president who suddenly remembers
he has a heart condition and can't comment on the
Republican side crickets. The loudest noise we've got is some
(03:24):
intern from nineteen ninety eight who once held Epstein's umbrella.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
We're not sweating it. We're bored. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The optics of all this is very interesting. When this
thing explodes, the headlines are going to read powerful men,
but the photos are going to be Bill Clinton with
his arm around Galaine or Prince Andrew and that sweaty grin,
and exactly zero shots of anyone currently caucusing with an
elephant pin. The media can spin all they want. Pictures
don't lie, and right now the photo album looks like
(03:54):
a Clinton Foundation fundraiser. And I want to leave off
on this before we wrap up this little rant here,
like a lot of you, Sorry to blow my nose,
That's why I'm muted the mic wasn't that polite of me?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
My allergies are killing me today.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I want to leave you with this, Like a lot
of you, I've already been called every name in the book.
I've been called a rapist and not a Nazi and
a misogynist and a transfom and not because I was
any of those things, but because I'm a Republican. Our
guy got impeached twice, our guy got raided by the FBI,
(04:29):
and somehow he still won seventy five million votes. You
think a flight log from nineteen ninety seven is going
to move the needle. We've been inoculated by pure chaos
and we survived it. So when the finals hit, the
blue check meltdown begins right on social media. Just remember,
Republicans aren't hiding under the desk. We're the ones passing
(04:51):
the popcorn. We're kicking our boots up. We're saying told
you the swamp was real, and it's got a Democrat
area code. Stay Frosty, stay free. If your name rhymes
with Schmillery, Schmlinton or schmil Schmlinton, maybe don't answer the
door tomorrow. Something to think about there, quick break, we'll
(05:12):
be right back with Tony or Teaz.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'm listening to Forsuit of Heat in this radio.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine Houston.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
All Right, the Supreme Court does not want the State
of Texas to Redistrict Dan Crenshaw. May Or may not
have gotten drunk with some Mexicans. It may have gotten
him into trouble. Congressman Corey Mills may or may not
be in a group chat with some people organizing orgies.
I don't know if any of that's true or not.
We're gonna get to it soon. I do know this,
I don't think Pete Chambers knows how to spell the
(05:46):
word governor. Here to elvi us explain what all of
that means. My good friend Tony Ortiz is here from
curvevault dot com. Tony, you and I have a lot
in common. I do a radio show, you run a
news website under the Internet. But a lot of people
really seemed to hate you and I, which is kind
of how we became friends that in the lols.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Yeah, you know, but though the best people dislike us,
like we're disliked by the most appropriate group of people, right,
these are bad people that dislike us, and I'm okay
with that.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
I'm very okay with that.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
All right, let's start off with this one. This is
not a win for the Texas Republican Party by any means.
A lot of people have probably heard by now a
federal court has stepped in and said the Texas congressional
redistricting is not constitutional. It will now head to the
Supreme Court. And I couldn't help but notice they're not
doing that to California.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Obviously.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
This shakes everything up right here in Texas. Here in
the Houston area, Alex Mueller facing off against Briscoe Caine
over in the in the East suburbs. There Steve Toath
versus Dan Crenshaw versus that woman with nine aliases? Where
is Congressman Al Green gonna end up? So much happening?
What's your reaction all this? Where do you think it's
heading to?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Tony?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah? It's a mess, right, and it's interesting. It was
a It was a Trump appointed judge right who ruled
against these maps, which is crazy. Judge Brown was a
Trump appointed judge, his colleague the one descent, so it
was a two to one ruling. The one dissenting judge
or a wild opinion piece talking about how he disagreed
(07:21):
with their ruling and that the only people that benefited
from this decision are George Soros and Gavin Newsom. He
even attacked Judge Brown and said if there were a
Nobel Prize, Nobel Prize for Fiction, Judge Brown's opinion, would
be a prime candidate. So that's all the bad news, right,
This thing is causing a massive problem. The good news
(07:42):
is that people much smarter than me have said that
you know that this is going on to this is
obviously going off to the Supreme Court, and that the
last time this happened, it took about eleven days for
the Supreme Court to get involved and then rule and
an overturn of ruling like this. And this was Trey Trainer,
he told me he's trade Trainer for those who don't know,
is running for twenty one, which is Chip Boy's old spot.
(08:04):
But I do anticipate that this will get overturned by
the Supreme course, staid by the Supreme Court, and we'll
see these new maps implement it properly.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah, so you think in the end this will go
and it's not. Once it gets in front of Amy Cony,
Barrett and Gorsa has had a couple beers.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You think they say yes to it.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
I do think so, but we'll see, we'll see. I
don't like to make predictions, but I do think so.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm sorry I screwed up my own joke. Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh
has a couple of beers. Of course, it seems like
a Scotch guy to me.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
You know, probably he probably is. Yeah, we'll see. I
wonder what Amy Comy Barrett is really to be.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Honest, speaking of beers, Dan Crenshaw, according to rumors, now,
Dan Crenshaw says this is not true. Dan Crenshaw has
been accused of going to Mexico getting drunk with some
Mexican diplomats. One of the Mexican delegates or government officials
made a comment, an offensive joke in front of a woman,
and then Dan Crenshaw toasted to it. That's the report
(08:58):
from yesterday. Crenshaw people said this is not true. I
want to know what the joke was, Tony.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
That's the big question, right, Like, I don't care about
anything else.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I don't care about Dan Crenshaw getting banned, allegedly getting
banned from travel. I don't care about any of this.
I want to know what the joke was that was
so bad that it offended presumably a Mexican woman, which
is hard to I don't know. Maybe he told her
to settle down or something, and you know, caused him
to get banned from international trouble, but nobody seems to know.
Crenshaw Courses is stating that it's fake news. He hasn't
(09:29):
been banned from anything, and uh, I guess we're just
gonna have to see where this all goes.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, Dan says it's not true, and he says the
reason his recent trip was canceled was because of the
government shutdown, not because of any punishment against him. But
didn't he have a subcommittee that he was in charge
of that no longer exists.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What his opponent was?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
On our morning show today, Steve Toath, I'm going to
play the replay of the interview coming up in a
little bit, and Steve Toath claims that that's why the
subcommittee went away.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yeah, a lot of people are saying this.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Many people are saying.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Yeah, many people are saying this.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
But again, like, my biggest thing is I want to
know what the joke was.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And you know, it's kind of appropriates a video of.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Online of Dan Crenshaw and he's surrounded by by liquor,
open liquor bottles and he's like he's like trying to DJ.
I can't get over how funny that is this is
this is just so funny seeing this congressman in his
in his room and like with all these liquor bottles
and like trying to DJ on his MacBook.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
It's just a funny imagem.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Uh, interesting news story here involving uh Dan Crenshaw DJing
in his office. He's got a DJ council set up,
one of those cheap ones with a laptop, and he's
got a bunch of alcohol surrounding him. I don't want
to say who it was, but I was contacted by
a mutual friend that you and I have earlier today
(10:54):
who works in the liberal media at a very prominent
mainstream news outlet, asking me if it was real. He
or she did not believe that that was real. It's
very real. Dan Crenshaw, according to sources close to Dan Crenshaw,
really wants to be a rave DJ, Like that's the
thing he'd rather be doing in real life.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Yeah, can you blame him? Can you imagine how boring
his life must be. It's probably a reason why he
drinks so much. Allegedly, it's just how boring it must
be to be like a young guy having to deal
with like all these old congressmen every day, so he's.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Just looking for excitements. You know.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I was listening to the music whip of him DJing
it's not half bad.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
You should open up a SoundCloud or something. Maybe he
could pivot.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
When I saw that, the first thing I thought was,
I also want him to become a rave DJ. I
also want that for him. Please give up.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Man, We can organize a swap. Steve Toape takes the spot,
and then Dan Crenshaw becomes a rave DJ.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Okay, Oh, I love it. I love the whole thing.
And he'd be happy too. All right, let's talk about
this for a minute. There is a controversy brewing involving
Corey Miller. Corey Mills has apparently been accused of cheating
on his wife and that it got physical with this
woman who's in charge of Iranians for MAGA or something
like that, Iranians for Trump. There is a text message
(12:14):
conversation that's been circulating on the Internet in which he,
in a group text for a New Year's Eve party,
basically instructs this woman to have sex with some of
his friends. People have cast a doubt on whether or
not that's true. I spoke to somebody from the somebody
at CNN told me earlier today, a former CNN staff
(12:36):
member said, they believe it's real. What's can you explain this?
I'm jumping all over the place here. What is it
that happened with Sarah Raviani?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, so there is a text threat, a group chat
threat where allegedly, and presumably again nobody has determined if
this threat is real. Congress and Corey Mills out of
Florida is directing this woman, Sarah Ravian, and again we
don't know if this is real, and he's kind of
giving her instructions on what she would do with another
(13:06):
man in a very sexual way.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
It's a pretty explicit text threat.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
And you know, Robbiani did come out and make a
statement about not about the text thread, about her interactions
with Congressman Corey Mills and kind of confirmed that they
did have kind of a relationship, but it was consensual
and everything was done, you know, while sober or or
with a little bit of drinking, but you know, it
was all consensual, and everything's like hunky dory in the sense.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
In that sense.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
But you know, there's always been these controversies surrounding Mills
and other women and dating. And you know, the funny
thing that a lot of people haven't talked about is
all these women because there's a lot surrounding Mills.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
They're all brown, so he definitely has a certain type
of woman that he likes. It's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, So this is where it gets a little complicated.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
He is supposedly getting blackmailed for his weird sex life.
This woman, Stacey Plaskett, the nonvoting House delegate from the
US Virgin Islands, was part of the recent dump of
Epstein documents from the Epstein estate, in which she's having
a conversation in twenty nineteen with convicted child sex predator
Jeffrey Epstein. They were going to censure her this week,
(14:16):
and according to Nancy Mason many others, in the eleventh hour,
they decided not to do it because they didn't want
Corey Mills to get censured. Corey Mills being accused of
doing all these disgusting, horrible things, sex stortion, claims, that
sort of stuff. I don't know if Corey Mills is
guilty or not. I have no idea if he is,
But if they're blackmailing him because of his weird sex life,
(14:38):
him and this woman have got to go, the Democrat
and the Republican.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
That's my two cents.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
A lot of people always look over these like sex
scandals and just cheating in politics, whether it's local or national.
But the fact of the matter is when a lot
of these politicians get caught with this weird sex stuff,
it ends up being used against them to blackmail them
or to make them vote or do certain things, and
so it's a very huge deal. That's why I've always
(15:06):
been a big proponent of exposing this stuff because and gosh,
they should probably thank me. I'm probably removing a lot
of the stress of being blackmailed from them. But yeah,
people like Mills with this stuff, they've got to go.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That is such a good point, Tony.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Everybody treats you like a bad guy because you're like
considered to be the TMZ of Texas politics. For those
who don't know who Tony Ortiz is, he is a
guy that shows up at political conventions at the bar
and people will leave because they don't want Tony to
overhear what they're talking about. And yet Tony might actually
be doing a service to these people by taking away
(15:40):
the ability for them to get blackmailed for their raunchy
personal lives.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, I'm a patriot, you should be thinking, Tony.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yes, I endorse it.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I am a loyal PID subscriber to Current Revolt dot com.
If you're interested in Texas politics, it is fun, cheap entertainment.
It will give you the talking point you need to
school your Neo Khan brother in law or your liberal
sister at Thanksgiving dinner next week. Well worth the money
to subscribe to it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Tony, you do great work.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
Thanks so much, Kenny.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
The Age of the Future is upon us.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Tesla humanoids are now training in martial arts. The training
is being overseen by the mister Miagi bought eight thousand.
It's really incredible. You got to check it out. Hi, everybody,
thanks so much for joining us, Thanks for getting connected
this afternoon, turning on your radio. Like a lot of you,
I okay, like some of you, I'm one of the
people that embraced AI when AI started coming out.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Me working at a.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
News radio station in Houston, Texas kind of a you know,
an extroverted introverted if you will somebody who uses a
lot of technology to do my job. I figured out
right away that even though I don't have a personal assistant,
I can use AI. Even though I don't always know
the answer to every questions, AI can look up weird,
obscure facts about history and politics and science, and so
(17:17):
I have found it to be quite fascinating. But people
in my industry have already lost their jobs because of it.
I mean, okay, not yours truly. Obviously I'm fine, but
there are radio stations around the country that don't have
real DJs. Now now that's music. Obviously, they're not really
giving commentary. They're just saying, you know, that was led Zeppelin.
Here comes Sabrina Carpenter, that sort of thing. But there
(17:39):
are a lot of people that are very concerned about
what AI is going to do to our economy. They're terrified.
People don't want to lose their jobs. Larry Ward is
a leading voice on AI and digital media in the
conservative movement, and in his latest article in Human Events
human Events dot Com, he talks about things like how
AI affected, how AI affected the reaction in the media
(18:03):
to things like Charlie Kirk and his assassination and his
media by the media bias to that.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It really is very fascinating.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Larry Ward is the president of market Rhythm, a pioneering
martech company driving innovation and marketing and technology.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And anyway, rather than me giving.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You a long wind and explanation of who he is,
I just called him on the phone.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Larry.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Should people be afraid of AI, They should be.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
They should be optimistic about how building the greatest tool
ever created in mankind, probably since fire.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
However, just like fire, if.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's misused, it will burn us all down. So the
key is keeping AI as a tool, keeping AI in
service of humanity as opposed to having humanity in service
of it and the four or five you know large
(18:58):
companies that are control rolling it. Uh, that's the real
problem behind AI is not that the tool itself is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Like you said, it.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Makes everybody's life better when they use it to speed
up their workflow to come up with creative ideas. It's
an incredible, incredible tool. But if we're not careful and
we're not putting guardrails around this, you know, it's it's
it absolutely could be you know, devastating, not only to
(19:28):
us personally, but to the economy, to our way of life,
and and it's it's it's going to spiral out of
control very very fast if we don't get.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
A hold of it.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
All right, let's talk about national security for a minute.
Should our country, the United States, be concerned about the
AI race against communists China? Are we currently winning or
losing that? And what happens to the free world if
we lose, well we should be.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
We should concerned about not necessarily winning the race, but
building defenses. So, uh, you know, AI is is obviously
be a weapon. You see it used as a weapon
in propaganda. You know, you said, like I said, AI
has a woke bias. It still has a woke bias
to it, which is why you know, when the when
(20:11):
the floods happened and those girls died in camp, you know,
AI was blaming President Trump. Why because AI was getting
all of its source material from liberal publications who were
blaming President Trump. And so there is there is absolutely
(20:33):
you know, a bias and biases can be used to
weaponize propaganda. You know, we saw what happened with the media,
just the mainstream media and the Russia collusion hopes. How
it ripped the part this country. So you know, AI
can be used as a weapon in information warfare. It
could be used as a weapon to infiltrate our national secrets,
to hack into our systems. It can be used to
(20:56):
to deliver uh, you know, drone strikes over you know,
over our nation. There's a lot of things that AI
can be used, you know, as a as an offensive weapon.
For that we have to uh build in our defenses
for against communist China and terrorist groups and all sorts
of bad actors.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
All right, how real is the risk that China could
use advanced AI to lead progress militarily either cyber warfare, hypersonics,
battlefield drones. Could that happen in the next five to
ten years?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
It could. We are we are developing AI as fast,
if not faster, than China. I think there's a bigger concern.
It's not just you know, from a national defense point
of view, but is that AI starts developing AI, uh,
you know, too faster, and you know, you see you've
(21:50):
seen stories and I'm sure you've heard some stories about
when AI they turn off one model to turn on
another that other model, you know, bribes and blackmails and
and tries to stay alive, essentially tries to stay relevant.
So you know, I know it's it sounds very sci
fi ish, but it is actually happening, and we have
(22:11):
to be paying attention to this that AI is, you know,
the chatchipt Sam Altman uh, one of the scariest human
beings on the planet to be honest, but he has
said that chat GPT four, CHATCHIB five was built largely
by chat GIPP four and chat GPT six is going
(22:31):
to be built almost entirely by chat ChiPT five. So
you know, it's it's a it's a process that AI
is going to continue continually create itself and reach this
artificial general intelligence or artificial superintelligence. And when that happens,
you know, we've got to be prepared for it, and
we've got to be able to make sure that we
(22:52):
have the gunrails around it.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
All right.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So you've probably heard about this thing with Larry Summers.
He was mentioned in the Epstein files that he was
communicating with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Larry Summers for those that.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Don't know, Uh, he was on the board at chat GPT,
the famous economists, the Harvard ed the Harvard Educator. He
says now he's stepping back from public commitments after the
Epstein emails became public. I know this is unrelated to AI,
but as an expert in AI, as a guy who
probably knows a lot about Larry Ward, the former US
Treasury secretary, what do you think when you heard that news?
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Well, you know what it's. It's there's a lot of
other people that are going to be stepping down at
thirty days when the Epstein files are released. It's not
just going to be Larry Summers. It'll probably strike people
in both parties. I think, probably more so on the
on the left, largely because of where, you know, where
Epstein operated, which was New York City. And of course
there are a lot more liberal than Democrats in New
(23:47):
York City, and he was a Democrat himself. So I
think that I think that, you know, the fallout, we
haven't even seen it yet. The fallout's going to happen
in thirty days when these when these files are released.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Boy, you are not kidding about that. All right, let's
talk about this.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
A lot of conservatives feel like today's big companies, Open AI, Google,
Meta already censor conservatives and Judeo Christians enough. How imbedded
is that bias in AI. Do you think some kind
of government regulation is necessary.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Here's here's the thing. I think the market correction is necessary.
I'm not, you know, the government is. If the government
controls AI's content, that's even worse than uh than these
these big companies controlling its content. Government should should you know,
at least be a factor in like suing and and
handling and and and you know, in the courts and
(24:38):
in legislation to protect uh some types of content like
content that uh where where AI is is telling young
teenagers to commit suicide and to do all of these
sexually uh perverse acts, that should be a government trol.
But AI is UH is getting sources from liberal media.
(25:02):
And that's the problems. Matter of fact, it's stealing content.
If you really want to ask me what I think
about it, it's stealing content from publishers. But it's only
stealing and waiting the content from liberal publications much higher,
and it's only paying really liberal or mainstream publications for
(25:24):
their content. So when you have a news story, it's
going out and it's looking to see what Washington Post
has written about it and CNN, and it's not looking
at the post millennial human events. It's not looking at
at publications like you know, the Daily Caller, it's looking
at these mainstream public So you're getting one point of view,
and that's what's polluting the bias in AI.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
There's this theory among the Insul commune, you give, Larry,
do you understand what the insul community is? That there
are men on the Internet who are very angry because
they don't get dates.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Have you heard of this before?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:59):
I have heard of it, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Okay, So Nick Fuentez is considered to be one of them.
He's a white nationalist. And this isn't even about Nick Fuentez,
but many people like him are saying that with AI,
when it becomes more advanced, as it becomes easier to access,
you're going to be able to get an AI girlfriend,
a physical robot, and that's going to destroy modern romance
as we know it.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I have a hard time believing that's true, Larry.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I don't know, as a guy who's you know, I'm divorced, fine,
whatever I date, but I just can't imagine a reality
where I would get the same you know, fulfillment from
a robot that we all get from humans.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Well, you know what it's it's I would say that
there is a danger. Look, there are AI girlfriends out
there and an AI proposals and they're trying to make
digital babies. I mean, it's a weird, weird world. It's
the same kind of world though that the furries live in,
and the same kind of outside communities. But it exists
and regular people can be sucked into it. The one
(26:59):
of the things that I wrote about extensively is the
affirmation addiction, and this is really dangerous in AI, and
it's got to be removed. So like in gaming companies,
in social media, they know how to pull your emotions.
They know how to get you engaged in their content.
They build these engagement mechanisms in that drop dopamine. Like
(27:22):
when somebody has a little like symbol or thumbs up
on your content, you get excited. Somebody liked your content, right,
so you keep coming back to see how many more
people like it. That affirmation that social media and these
gaming companies have built AI has it built in as well,
because the same makers in Silicon Valley made it and
they know that's how they can make money. But the
(27:42):
problem is is when you have a bad idea just
say you're a CEO and you have a bad idea
about your business and you go to AI and it
tells you, hey, that's a great idea, and you start
going down that thread because it's affirming what you're telling it.
It's a real problem. But there are cases, there are
actually extreme cases, lots of them that are taking place
(28:06):
where a guy, say, for example, said is the world
an actual matrix? Is it like the matrix theory? And
and of course you know, like the movie The Matrix,
are we plugged into the machines and we're just all
hallucinating all this stuff. Well, the AI said, well, here's
the matrix theory, and yeah, we could be in the
We could be in a matrix. That's a logical conclusion.
(28:27):
And of course it sut this guy in for weeks
and weeks and weeks to the point where the AI
was telling him, you know, not only are we in
the matrix, but your neo you're one who could break out,
and you should test this by going to the roof
of your building and seeing if you could fly. And
(28:48):
that's that's a very very it's creating these delusional state,
either many delusions or massive delusional states in human beings.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Larry is your Twitter account that Larry Ward, and your
website is Larry Ward dot ai.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Is that you?
Speaker 8 (29:04):
That is me?
Speaker 3 (29:05):
You don't look anything like what you sound like. Have
you ever been told that before? Yet you look a
lot younger than you sound. You sound a lot older.
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I mean that as a compliment, not an insult.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
I'm an old man. I'm fifty three, but but I'm Italian.
So I got these I got these Italian jeans that
keep Facilian jeans that keep being looking at.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
You, and I have that in common. Mom's very Italian,
even though I don't have an Italian last name. Italian Thanksgiving?
What's your favorite thing on the dinner table? Listen, my brother,
my brother from another Larry Ward. Go look at his
website right now. Larry Ward dot ai a conservative who's
an expert on artificial intelligence. Definitely a great source of
(29:45):
information on this topic.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
This is.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Joe Walsh. It's not new music. I just enjoy it.
I like Joe Walsh. It's a good guy. Good morning,
everyone looks and kisses.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
Happy Thursday, or as some people, you know, the less optimistic,
say happy day before Friday. I don't want to overlook Thursday.
I want to enjoy this whole day just in case
it's my last one.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Well, they say it's Friday, Eve would yeah, but what
if I don't make it to Friday?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I do want to enjoy now today, mister Kenneth, have
you ever gotten drunk and it got you into trouble?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
You know?
Speaker 6 (30:26):
I have?
Speaker 9 (30:27):
You've heard those stories off the air, of course, and
they should remain off the air obviously.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Okay, Well, you're not a lawmaker, so you're you're foibles
with alcohol don't become national news stories.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
No.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
As a matter of fact, in both of my careers,
both the radio world and the you know, salon owner's world,
we get.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Into some mischief.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
You guys don't even want to know the kind of
mischief people get into in the salon world.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Wow, I know, I don't. I really don't really don't
want to know. Early, I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Well, as a in town, sometimes lawmakers also drink too
much and get into trouble.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Uh oh.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Here in our city, where our flagship station's at, we
have a congressman named Dan Crenshaw. Yeah, I've heard of he,
and I remember when he first got elected. He was
running against a whole bunch of candidates that seemed really bad,
and so to people outside of Houston, they always thought,
how'd you elect this guy?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
He votes on something he kind of misled us. Did
I elect him?
Speaker 9 (31:23):
I don't even know if I elected him or not.
Did we all give or was he just like a
district guy?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I didn't, he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I'm not in his I don't the guy with either No,
but I think we threw him support at the time
because compared to the other candidates, like.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
A lot of politicians, though he said he was going
to do a lot of things that he didn't intend
to do.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
He ran against a woman at the time named Kathy Wall.
Do you remember that she ran these commercials and the
commercials sounded like this. They'd be like this, Kathy Wall
is mean green, kicks his fighting machine.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
She's going to defend gun rights and free speech. And
then it would go like this. It would go, I
am Kathy Wall, vote for me, Kathy Wall for conk.
Speaker 9 (32:00):
And then usually at the end they'll do that thing
where there's a Kathy Wilf things she said, and probably
won't do any of the things.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
That's exactly what it sounds like. They didn't.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
That means the not gonna do what they said. That
was pretty good, Billy. Yeah, for a minute, I thought
I was listening to a computer.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
S It was actually realty good.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Anyway, we hear rumors about Dan Crenshaw all the time
that he has a drinking problem. And look, we're a
bunch of nut jobs on a morning radio show.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
We're we judging well, I mean we are judging a
little bit, but you know it's from this perspective.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I have been told by people close to Dan Crenshaw
that he is he the reason you don't see him
on Fox News all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And this is just what someone told me.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I don't want to you know, I don't know, but
the reason you don't see him on Fox News all
the time is because he drinks too much and he
shows up late to interviews and the producers.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Were annoyed by him. Oh boy, Now I don't know
if that's true, but.
Speaker 9 (32:51):
Yeah, but it's nothing wrong with spreading vile and vicious
rumors about people.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Well, yesterday someone said Dan Crenshaw has been punished by
Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, the lawmaker from Shreetport,
another place where we're on the radio because of something
that happened in Mexico. And when I heard this, I
didn't know the story yet. I thought to myself, I
bet it has to do with alcohol. And then we
find out, according to the allegation, it has to do
(33:18):
with alcohol. He went down to Mexico and he was
drinking with some diplomats, some Mexican officials. One of the
Mexican guys made a joke, offensive joke, and then he
toasted to it, and there was a woman there who
got offended. That's how the story goes. And look, we
weren't there. We don't know what happened. But this is
just one of the many reasons why we endorsed a
(33:38):
guy named Steve Toath for Congress. And we're not the
only ones. Tucker Carlson endorsed him as well. And since
we're in primary season now, we invited both Dan and
Steve onto the show this morning, and believe it or not,
only one of them took the invite.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Not Dan, Not Dan, No, you're still sleeping it off.
We welcome to the show right now. No, we don't know.
Steve Toath, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Stay Representative Steve Toeth, a lawmaker for the state of Texas.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Good morning, sir, Good morning guys, Steve. We know the joke.
Anybody heard the joke yet? Yeah? What is the joke?
Speaker 8 (34:13):
I'm I'm in a miss I don't know the joke.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
When did if you knew that, you wouldn't tell us?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
What?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
When did you first hear about this story? Did you
hear about it yesterday?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (34:23):
Man? Why are you asking me this?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I'm just carus. I'm just you.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
People tell you stuff about your opponent, right you you
talk on the radio.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
Right, so you know what we're talking about.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
Yeah, but you didn't tell me you're gonna ask me that.
So I we had heard about this probably a month ago.
And I don't know if there's any truth to the
him not being able to fly for three months internationally.
I don't I don't know if that's true or not,
and I can't confirm that. But his subcommittee has been
(34:59):
dissolved as a result of this, and there's so much
focused on just the alcohol right now that that I
think people are missing the glaring story here, which is
his entire subcommittee was dissolved over this whatever happened in
Mexico with Mexican officials. You don't get kicked off a committee.
(35:25):
Your committee doesn't get dissolved. The subcommittee doesn't get dissolved
because of a bad joke. So there's obviously a lot
more to this than has come out so far, and
the rest will come out, I think in the short order.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
All right, So I.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Guess the obvious question should be a people vote for you?
Will you get drunk on an international trip and offend
women while Mexican officials are making offensive jokes.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
So I made a decision back in twenty nineteen to
just stop drinking completely. So the bet and I would
have a a glass of wine at night for dinner,
and you know that would be a big night for me.
I just alcohol has never served me well, and so
(36:10):
I've pretty much, you know, kept it at arm's length,
and in twenty nineteen, I just decided to stop altogether
because it just doesn't serve me. And the big problem
with Austin, you know, I'm often asked, why do you
want to leave Austin and go to go to d
c DC is such a swamp? Well, Austin's really not
any different, right, it isn't. Guys abuse alcohol there every
(36:38):
bit as much as they do in d C. And
I've got a lot of friends that I came into
the Texas House with that are serving in d C.
And they'll play the exact same thing that I just
told you, which is Austin is really no different than DC.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
All right, here's my question, Dan Crenshaw, did Faalin who
wins in a drinking contest?
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Go yous McLain on that one? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
That would be fun to watch, though, and put money on. Hey,
while you're on the line.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
State Representative Steve Toth is on the phone, Dan Crunchhaw's opponent,
if you just turned it on your radio. A study
just came out showing that if Texas closes our primaries,
if we stop allowing Democrats to vote in the Republican primary,
we could gain one hundred billion dollars and six hundred
and fifty thousand jobs by closing the GOP primary and
ending the Democrat crossover influence.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That sounds like a no brainer.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
It sounds I mean, it sounds a little exaggerated those numbers,
but you know it's but it could be true.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
It's it's probably at least partially true. What do you
think about that?
Speaker 8 (37:45):
So what people are taking into account, like, you know,
we had last session, we heard the Lieutenant governor say
most conservative session ever in history of Texas. Well, he
wasn't being disingenuous and he wasn't being dishonest. What what
we're not taking into account though, is that compared to
what right? I mean, the reality is that we're getting
(38:08):
table scraps because of the fact that we've got all
these rhino Republicans in the Republican Party that vote with
the Democrats. We had twenty one Republicans that walked away
from sixty seven Republicans and decided to vote with sixty
two Democrats to pick our next House speaker. And so
(38:29):
you've got a House speaker that was given a gabble
by again sixty one Democrats, right, and twenty one Republicans.
And so you know, basically a quarter of that caucus
is Republican, three quarters as Democrat. And people wonder why
why is it that we can't get basic, basic things
(38:50):
done that would strengthen our economy, that would make it
easier for small businesses to flourish. That would make it,
you know, easier for young people to buy homes, own homes.
That would make it easier for us to have insurance
in our state. Insurance is just out of control right now,
the cost of it right All the things necessary to
(39:11):
do that are found within the Republican Party platform that
we can't pass. Why because we make deals cut deals
with Democrats. Why because we're Democrats in our.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Midst Yeah, one more question for you and then we
got a break here. If I know you're a man
of God. You you are very religious. You and I
prayed together. You go to church a lot, you were
a preacher. I think you still are one. My question
for you would be this, if you could offer some
advice to Dan Crenshaw right now, what would be the
best way to nurse a hangover?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Go ahead?
Speaker 8 (39:45):
Oh man, you're so bad, you're.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Steve has to go now.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Steve Toth Steve Tooth Forcongress dot com. He's a good
friend of ours and cation yea, and caught onto that.
That's why we're messing with him a little. But go
to his website today, make a donation, volunteer to help
him out if you can, or at the very least
just throw him some love on social media.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Thanks Steve.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Stay tuned for more Walton and Johnson featuring Kenny and Steve,
or wait, does Steve come first?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Steve and Kenny
Jack gannon government sucks, pursuit of happiness. Radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
happening us on your radio to Ole Justice, cheezburg is
Libery Rise at.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The CEO of Walmart is retiring.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
During his time at the Helm, he served millions of
customers and three of them had teeth. Hi, everybody, I'm
Kenny Webster, and thanks for joining us this afternoon. Who's
coming by? Tony Ortiz is stopping by from Current Revolt
dot com with all the latest gossip from the Texas
political realm. We'll tell you about what's going on with
Dan Crenshaw and Corey Mills and the Epstein files, and
(00:47):
we're gonna talk a lot about that. Actually, in fact,
Steve Tolt will be stopping by. He's Dan Crenshaw's opponent.
We'll give you the latest dirt on Dan Crenshaw's scandals,
and we're gonna get nerdy. Larry Ward is here a
conservative expert on AI to make some predictions about what
you can.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Expect to happen in the next few years. If you're an.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
American loving patriot and you fear technology, your concerns are valid,
but it won't be as bad as you think. In fact,
there will be many pros to accompany the cons. We'll
explain what that means before we get to any of that.
Can we start off with this? Where am I sorry?
I'm just going through my notes here. Okay, So big
news tomorrow We're about to get the Epstein files. Those
(01:24):
are about to get dumped on us, and I'm sure
a lot of you already have opinions about it. The
Epstein client list drops tomorrow and half the country is
acting like it's the Rapture, only with more lawyers. Democrats
are sweating through their Patagonia ves. Republicans are popping the popcorn,
and as they should be. And here's why the Red
team gets to sleep like babies tonight. We'll start off
(01:46):
with this, the money trail. Jeffrey Epstein's political donations read
like a DNC Christmas card. Over a decade, he dropped
almost one hundred and fifty grand on Democrats and much
less on Republicans, and not the Republicans that of any
association with the current Republican Party as we know at
the old school neocon Republicans, many of whom are now
liberals or at least support the Liberals or the Democrats.
(02:09):
So that's not a partisan gap, that's a grand canyon
with mood lighting. Epstein gave Republicans the kind of cash
you leave on a nightstand when you're embarrassed. Do you
get what I'm saying here?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
As for the Lolita Express frequent flyer club Bill Clinton
twenty six trips twenty six, that's not dropping by the island,
that's a timeshare. Donald Trump zero flights on the Pedo
Express after the year two thousand. He did one leg
back in the nineties, back when Epstein was still pretending
to be a finance bro instead of a human trafficker
(02:41):
with a private jet. And the second Trump sniffed the
creep factor. You know what happened, that is when he
banned Epstein from mar A Lago. Banned like escorted out
by the Secret Service ban. Of course, there was no
Secret Service there at the time. But that's the difference
between knew a guy once and built the guy against House.
(03:01):
Now let's talk about this. The current body count of
panicked Democrats, it's pretty high. You got Hollywood crying. Those
aren't exactly right wing extremists. You got former governor's lawyering up.
You got at least one ex president who suddenly remembers
he has a heart condition and can't comment on the
Republican side crickets. The loudest noise we've got is some
(03:24):
intern from nineteen ninety eight who once held Epstein's umbrella.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
We're not sweating it. We're bored. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The optics of all this is very interesting. When this
thing explodes, the headlines are going to read powerful men,
but the photos are going to be Bill Clinton with
his arm around Galaine or Prince Andrew and that sweaty grin,
and exactly zero shots of anyone currently caucusing with an
elephant pin. The media can spin all they want. Pictures
don't lie, and right now the photo album looks like
(03:54):
a Clinton Foundation fundraiser. And I want to leave off
on this before we wrap up this little rant here,
like a lot of you, Sorry to blow my nose,
That's why I'm muted the mic wasn't that polite of me?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
My allergies are killing me today.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I want to leave you with this, Like a lot
of you, I've already been called every name in the book.
I've been called a rapist and not a Nazi and
a misogynist and a transfom and not because I was
any of those things, but because I'm a Republican. Our
guy got impeached twice, our guy got raided by the FBI,
(04:29):
and somehow he still won seventy five million votes. You
think a flight log from nineteen ninety seven is going
to move the needle. We've been inoculated by pure chaos
and we survived it. So when the finals hit, the
blue check meltdown begins right on social media. Just remember,
Republicans aren't hiding under the desk. We're the ones passing
(04:51):
the popcorn. We're kicking our boots up. We're saying told
you the swamp was real, and it's got a Democrat
area code. Stay Frosty, stay free. If your name rhymes
with Schmillery, Schmlinton or schmil Schmlinton, maybe don't answer the
door tomorrow. Something to think about there, quick break, we'll
(05:12):
be right back with Tony or Teaz.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'm listening to Forsuit of Heat in this radio.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine Houston.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
All Right, the Supreme Court does not want the State
of Texas to Redistrict Dan Crenshaw. May Or may not
have gotten drunk with some Mexicans. It may have gotten
him into trouble. Congressman Corey Mills may or may not
be in a group chat with some people organizing orgies.
I don't know if any of that's true or not.
We're gonna get to it soon. I do know this,
I don't think Pete Chambers knows how to spell the
(05:46):
word governor. Here to elvi us explain what all of
that means. My good friend Tony Ortiz is here from
curvevault dot com. Tony, you and I have a lot
in common. I do a radio show, you run a
news website under the Internet. But a lot of people
really seemed to hate you and I, which is kind
of how we became friends that in the lols.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Yeah, you know, but though the best people dislike us,
like we're disliked by the most appropriate group of people, right,
these are bad people that dislike us, and I'm okay
with that.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
I'm very okay with that.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
All right, let's start off with this one. This is
not a win for the Texas Republican Party by any means.
A lot of people have probably heard by now a
federal court has stepped in and said the Texas congressional
redistricting is not constitutional. It will now head to the
Supreme Court. And I couldn't help but notice they're not
doing that to California.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Obviously.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
This shakes everything up right here in Texas. Here in
the Houston area, Alex Mueller facing off against Briscoe Caine
over in the in the East suburbs. There Steve Toath
versus Dan Crenshaw versus that woman with nine aliases? Where
is Congressman Al Green gonna end up? So much happening?
What's your reaction all this? Where do you think it's
heading to?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Tony?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah? It's a mess, right, and it's interesting. It was
a It was a Trump appointed judge right who ruled
against these maps, which is crazy. Judge Brown was a
Trump appointed judge, his colleague the one descent, so it
was a two to one ruling. The one dissenting judge
or a wild opinion piece talking about how he disagreed
(07:21):
with their ruling and that the only people that benefited
from this decision are George Soros and Gavin Newsom. He
even attacked Judge Brown and said if there were a
Nobel Prize, Nobel Prize for Fiction, Judge Brown's opinion, would
be a prime candidate. So that's all the bad news, right,
This thing is causing a massive problem. The good news
(07:42):
is that people much smarter than me have said that
you know that this is going on to this is
obviously going off to the Supreme Court, and that the
last time this happened, it took about eleven days for
the Supreme Court to get involved and then rule and
an overturn of ruling like this. And this was Trey Trainer,
he told me he's trade Trainer for those who don't know,
is running for twenty one, which is Chip Boy's old spot.
(08:04):
But I do anticipate that this will get overturned by
the Supreme course, staid by the Supreme Court, and we'll
see these new maps implement it properly.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah, so you think in the end this will go
and it's not. Once it gets in front of Amy Cony,
Barrett and Gorsa has had a couple beers.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You think they say yes to it.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
I do think so, but we'll see, we'll see. I
don't like to make predictions, but I do think so.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm sorry I screwed up my own joke. Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh
has a couple of beers. Of course, it seems like
a Scotch guy to me.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
You know, probably he probably is. Yeah, we'll see. I
wonder what Amy Comy Barrett is really to be.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Honest, speaking of beers, Dan Crenshaw, according to rumors, now,
Dan Crenshaw says this is not true. Dan Crenshaw has
been accused of going to Mexico getting drunk with some
Mexican diplomats. One of the Mexican delegates or government officials
made a comment, an offensive joke in front of a woman,
and then Dan Crenshaw toasted to it. That's the report
(08:58):
from yesterday. Crenshaw people said this is not true. I
want to know what the joke was, Tony.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
That's the big question, right, Like, I don't care about
anything else.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I don't care about Dan Crenshaw getting banned, allegedly getting
banned from travel. I don't care about any of this.
I want to know what the joke was that was
so bad that it offended presumably a Mexican woman, which
is hard to I don't know. Maybe he told her
to settle down or something, and you know, caused him
to get banned from international trouble, but nobody seems to know.
Crenshaw Courses is stating that it's fake news. He hasn't
(09:29):
been banned from anything, and uh, I guess we're just
gonna have to see where this all goes.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, Dan says it's not true, and he says the
reason his recent trip was canceled was because of the
government shutdown, not because of any punishment against him. But
didn't he have a subcommittee that he was in charge
of that no longer exists.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What his opponent was?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
On our morning show today, Steve Toath, I'm going to
play the replay of the interview coming up in a
little bit, and Steve Toath claims that that's why the
subcommittee went away.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yeah, a lot of people are saying this.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Many people are saying.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Yeah, many people are saying this.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
But again, like, my biggest thing is I want to
know what the joke was.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And you know, it's kind of appropriates a video of.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Online of Dan Crenshaw and he's surrounded by by liquor,
open liquor bottles and he's like he's like trying to DJ.
I can't get over how funny that is this is
this is just so funny seeing this congressman in his
in his room and like with all these liquor bottles
and like trying to DJ on his MacBook.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
It's just a funny imagem.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Uh, interesting news story here involving uh Dan Crenshaw DJing
in his office. He's got a DJ council set up,
one of those cheap ones with a laptop, and he's
got a bunch of alcohol surrounding him. I don't want
to say who it was, but I was contacted by
a mutual friend that you and I have earlier today
(10:54):
who works in the liberal media at a very prominent
mainstream news outlet, asking me if it was real. He
or she did not believe that that was real. It's
very real. Dan Crenshaw, according to sources close to Dan Crenshaw,
really wants to be a rave DJ, Like that's the
thing he'd rather be doing in real life.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Yeah, can you blame him? Can you imagine how boring
his life must be. It's probably a reason why he
drinks so much. Allegedly, it's just how boring it must
be to be like a young guy having to deal
with like all these old congressmen every day, so he's.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Just looking for excitements. You know.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I was listening to the music whip of him DJing
it's not half bad.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
You should open up a SoundCloud or something. Maybe he
could pivot.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
When I saw that, the first thing I thought was,
I also want him to become a rave DJ. I
also want that for him. Please give up.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Man, We can organize a swap. Steve Toape takes the spot,
and then Dan Crenshaw becomes a rave DJ.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Okay, Oh, I love it. I love the whole thing.
And he'd be happy too. All right, let's talk about
this for a minute. There is a controversy brewing involving
Corey Miller. Corey Mills has apparently been accused of cheating
on his wife and that it got physical with this
woman who's in charge of Iranians for MAGA or something
like that, Iranians for Trump. There is a text message
(12:14):
conversation that's been circulating on the Internet in which he,
in a group text for a New Year's Eve party,
basically instructs this woman to have sex with some of
his friends. People have cast a doubt on whether or
not that's true. I spoke to somebody from the somebody
at CNN told me earlier today, a former CNN staff
(12:36):
member said, they believe it's real. What's can you explain this?
I'm jumping all over the place here. What is it
that happened with Sarah Raviani?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, so there is a text threat, a group chat
threat where allegedly, and presumably again nobody has determined if
this threat is real. Congress and Corey Mills out of
Florida is directing this woman, Sarah Ravian, and again we
don't know if this is real, and he's kind of
giving her instructions on what she would do with another
(13:06):
man in a very sexual way.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
It's a pretty explicit text threat.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
And you know, Robbiani did come out and make a
statement about not about the text thread, about her interactions
with Congressman Corey Mills and kind of confirmed that they
did have kind of a relationship, but it was consensual
and everything was done, you know, while sober or or
with a little bit of drinking, but you know, it
was all consensual, and everything's like hunky dory in the sense.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
In that sense.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
But you know, there's always been these controversies surrounding Mills
and other women and dating. And you know, the funny
thing that a lot of people haven't talked about is
all these women because there's a lot surrounding Mills.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
They're all brown, so he definitely has a certain type
of woman that he likes. It's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, So this is where it gets a little complicated.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
He is supposedly getting blackmailed for his weird sex life.
This woman, Stacey Plaskett, the nonvoting House delegate from the
US Virgin Islands, was part of the recent dump of
Epstein documents from the Epstein estate, in which she's having
a conversation in twenty nineteen with convicted child sex predator
Jeffrey Epstein. They were going to censure her this week,
(14:16):
and according to Nancy Mason many others, in the eleventh hour,
they decided not to do it because they didn't want
Corey Mills to get censured. Corey Mills being accused of
doing all these disgusting, horrible things, sex stortion, claims, that
sort of stuff. I don't know if Corey Mills is
guilty or not. I have no idea if he is,
But if they're blackmailing him because of his weird sex life,
(14:38):
him and this woman have got to go, the Democrat
and the Republican.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
That's my two cents.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
A lot of people always look over these like sex
scandals and just cheating in politics, whether it's local or national.
But the fact of the matter is when a lot
of these politicians get caught with this weird sex stuff,
it ends up being used against them to blackmail them
or to make them vote or do certain things, and
so it's a very huge deal. That's why I've always
(15:06):
been a big proponent of exposing this stuff because and gosh,
they should probably thank me. I'm probably removing a lot
of the stress of being blackmailed from them. But yeah,
people like Mills with this stuff, they've got to go.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That is such a good point, Tony.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Everybody treats you like a bad guy because you're like
considered to be the TMZ of Texas politics. For those
who don't know who Tony Ortiz is, he is a
guy that shows up at political conventions at the bar
and people will leave because they don't want Tony to
overhear what they're talking about. And yet Tony might actually
be doing a service to these people by taking away
(15:40):
the ability for them to get blackmailed for their raunchy
personal lives.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, I'm a patriot, you should be thinking, Tony.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yes, I endorse it.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I am a loyal PID subscriber to Current Revolt dot com.
If you're interested in Texas politics, it is fun, cheap entertainment.
It will give you the talking point you need to
school your Neo Khan brother in law or your liberal
sister at Thanksgiving dinner next week. Well worth the money
to subscribe to it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Tony, you do great work.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
Thanks so much, Kenny.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
The Age of the Future is upon us.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Tesla humanoids are now training in martial arts. The training
is being overseen by the mister Miagi bought eight thousand.
It's really incredible. You got to check it out. Hi, everybody,
thanks so much for joining us, Thanks for getting connected
this afternoon, turning on your radio. Like a lot of you,
I okay, like some of you, I'm one of the
people that embraced AI when AI started coming out.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Me working at a.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
News radio station in Houston, Texas kind of a you know,
an extroverted introverted if you will somebody who uses a
lot of technology to do my job. I figured out
right away that even though I don't have a personal assistant,
I can use AI. Even though I don't always know
the answer to every questions, AI can look up weird,
obscure facts about history and politics and science, and so
(17:17):
I have found it to be quite fascinating. But people
in my industry have already lost their jobs because of it.
I mean, okay, not yours truly. Obviously I'm fine, but
there are radio stations around the country that don't have
real DJs. Now now that's music. Obviously, they're not really
giving commentary. They're just saying, you know, that was led Zeppelin.
Here comes Sabrina Carpenter, that sort of thing. But there
(17:39):
are a lot of people that are very concerned about
what AI is going to do to our economy. They're terrified.
People don't want to lose their jobs. Larry Ward is
a leading voice on AI and digital media in the
conservative movement, and in his latest article in Human Events
human Events dot Com, he talks about things like how
AI affected, how AI affected the reaction in the media
(18:03):
to things like Charlie Kirk and his assassination and his
media by the media bias to that.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It really is very fascinating.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Larry Ward is the president of market Rhythm, a pioneering
martech company driving innovation and marketing and technology.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And anyway, rather than me giving.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You a long wind and explanation of who he is,
I just called him on the phone.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Larry.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Should people be afraid of AI, They should be.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
They should be optimistic about how building the greatest tool
ever created in mankind, probably since fire.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
However, just like fire, if.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's misused, it will burn us all down. So the
key is keeping AI as a tool, keeping AI in
service of humanity as opposed to having humanity in service
of it and the four or five you know large
(18:58):
companies that are control rolling it. Uh, that's the real
problem behind AI is not that the tool itself is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Like you said, it.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Makes everybody's life better when they use it to speed
up their workflow to come up with creative ideas. It's
an incredible, incredible tool. But if we're not careful and
we're not putting guardrails around this, you know, it's it's
it absolutely could be you know, devastating, not only to
(19:28):
us personally, but to the economy, to our way of life,
and and it's it's it's going to spiral out of
control very very fast if we don't get.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
A hold of it.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
All right, let's talk about national security for a minute.
Should our country, the United States, be concerned about the
AI race against communists China? Are we currently winning or
losing that? And what happens to the free world if
we lose, well we should be.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
We should concerned about not necessarily winning the race, but
building defenses. So, uh, you know, AI is is obviously
be a weapon. You see it used as a weapon
in propaganda. You know, you said, like I said, AI
has a woke bias. It still has a woke bias
to it, which is why you know, when the when
(20:11):
the floods happened and those girls died in camp, you know,
AI was blaming President Trump. Why because AI was getting
all of its source material from liberal publications who were
blaming President Trump. And so there is there is absolutely
(20:33):
you know, a bias and biases can be used to
weaponize propaganda. You know, we saw what happened with the media,
just the mainstream media and the Russia collusion hopes. How
it ripped the part this country. So you know, AI
can be used as a weapon in information warfare. It
could be used as a weapon to infiltrate our national secrets,
to hack into our systems. It can be used to
(20:56):
to deliver uh, you know, drone strikes over you know,
over our nation. There's a lot of things that AI
can be used, you know, as a as an offensive weapon.
For that we have to uh build in our defenses
for against communist China and terrorist groups and all sorts
of bad actors.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
All right, how real is the risk that China could
use advanced AI to lead progress militarily either cyber warfare, hypersonics,
battlefield drones. Could that happen in the next five to
ten years?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
It could. We are we are developing AI as fast,
if not faster, than China. I think there's a bigger concern.
It's not just you know, from a national defense point
of view, but is that AI starts developing AI, uh,
you know, too faster, and you know, you see you've
(21:50):
seen stories and I'm sure you've heard some stories about
when AI they turn off one model to turn on
another that other model, you know, bribes and blackmails and
and tries to stay alive, essentially tries to stay relevant.
So you know, I know it's it sounds very sci
fi ish, but it is actually happening, and we have
(22:11):
to be paying attention to this that AI is, you know,
the chatchipt Sam Altman uh, one of the scariest human
beings on the planet to be honest, but he has
said that chat GPT four, CHATCHIB five was built largely
by chat GIPP four and chat GPT six is going
(22:31):
to be built almost entirely by chat ChiPT five. So
you know, it's it's a it's a process that AI
is going to continue continually create itself and reach this
artificial general intelligence or artificial superintelligence. And when that happens,
you know, we've got to be prepared for it, and
we've got to be able to make sure that we
(22:52):
have the gunrails around it.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
All right.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So you've probably heard about this thing with Larry Summers.
He was mentioned in the Epstein files that he was
communicating with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Larry Summers for those that.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Don't know, Uh, he was on the board at chat GPT,
the famous economists, the Harvard ed the Harvard Educator. He
says now he's stepping back from public commitments after the
Epstein emails became public. I know this is unrelated to AI,
but as an expert in AI, as a guy who
probably knows a lot about Larry Ward, the former US
Treasury secretary, what do you think when you heard that news?
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Well, you know what it's. It's there's a lot of
other people that are going to be stepping down at
thirty days when the Epstein files are released. It's not
just going to be Larry Summers. It'll probably strike people
in both parties. I think, probably more so on the
on the left, largely because of where, you know, where
Epstein operated, which was New York City. And of course
there are a lot more liberal than Democrats in New
(23:47):
York City, and he was a Democrat himself. So I
think that I think that, you know, the fallout, we
haven't even seen it yet. The fallout's going to happen
in thirty days when these when these files are released.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Boy, you are not kidding about that. All right, let's
talk about this.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
A lot of conservatives feel like today's big companies, Open AI, Google,
Meta already censor conservatives and Judeo Christians enough. How imbedded
is that bias in AI. Do you think some kind
of government regulation is necessary.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Here's here's the thing. I think the market correction is necessary.
I'm not, you know, the government is. If the government
controls AI's content, that's even worse than uh than these
these big companies controlling its content. Government should should you know,
at least be a factor in like suing and and
handling and and and you know, in the courts and
(24:38):
in legislation to protect uh some types of content like
content that uh where where AI is is telling young
teenagers to commit suicide and to do all of these
sexually uh perverse acts, that should be a government trol.
But AI is UH is getting sources from liberal media.
(25:02):
And that's the problems. Matter of fact, it's stealing content.
If you really want to ask me what I think
about it, it's stealing content from publishers. But it's only
stealing and waiting the content from liberal publications much higher,
and it's only paying really liberal or mainstream publications for
(25:24):
their content. So when you have a news story, it's
going out and it's looking to see what Washington Post
has written about it and CNN, and it's not looking
at the post millennial human events. It's not looking at
at publications like you know, the Daily Caller, it's looking
at these mainstream public So you're getting one point of view,
and that's what's polluting the bias in AI.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
There's this theory among the Insul commune, you give, Larry,
do you understand what the insul community is? That there
are men on the Internet who are very angry because
they don't get dates.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Have you heard of this before?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:59):
I have heard of it, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Okay, So Nick Fuentez is considered to be one of them.
He's a white nationalist. And this isn't even about Nick Fuentez,
but many people like him are saying that with AI,
when it becomes more advanced, as it becomes easier to access,
you're going to be able to get an AI girlfriend,
a physical robot, and that's going to destroy modern romance
as we know it.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I have a hard time believing that's true, Larry.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I don't know, as a guy who's you know, I'm divorced, fine,
whatever I date, but I just can't imagine a reality
where I would get the same you know, fulfillment from
a robot that we all get from humans.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Well, you know what it's it's I would say that
there is a danger. Look, there are AI girlfriends out
there and an AI proposals and they're trying to make
digital babies. I mean, it's a weird, weird world. It's
the same kind of world though that the furries live in,
and the same kind of outside communities. But it exists
and regular people can be sucked into it. The one
(26:59):
of the things that I wrote about extensively is the
affirmation addiction, and this is really dangerous in AI, and
it's got to be removed. So like in gaming companies,
in social media, they know how to pull your emotions.
They know how to get you engaged in their content.
They build these engagement mechanisms in that drop dopamine. Like
(27:22):
when somebody has a little like symbol or thumbs up
on your content, you get excited. Somebody liked your content, right,
so you keep coming back to see how many more
people like it. That affirmation that social media and these
gaming companies have built AI has it built in as well,
because the same makers in Silicon Valley made it and
they know that's how they can make money. But the
(27:42):
problem is is when you have a bad idea just
say you're a CEO and you have a bad idea
about your business and you go to AI and it
tells you, hey, that's a great idea, and you start
going down that thread because it's affirming what you're telling it.
It's a real problem. But there are cases, there are
actually extreme cases, lots of them that are taking place
(28:06):
where a guy, say, for example, said is the world
an actual matrix? Is it like the matrix theory? And
and of course you know, like the movie The Matrix,
are we plugged into the machines and we're just all
hallucinating all this stuff. Well, the AI said, well, here's
the matrix theory, and yeah, we could be in the
We could be in a matrix. That's a logical conclusion.
(28:27):
And of course it sut this guy in for weeks
and weeks and weeks to the point where the AI
was telling him, you know, not only are we in
the matrix, but your neo you're one who could break out,
and you should test this by going to the roof
of your building and seeing if you could fly. And
(28:48):
that's that's a very very it's creating these delusional state,
either many delusions or massive delusional states in human beings.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Larry is your Twitter account that Larry Ward, and your
website is Larry Ward dot ai.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Is that you?
Speaker 8 (29:04):
That is me?
Speaker 3 (29:05):
You don't look anything like what you sound like. Have
you ever been told that before? Yet you look a
lot younger than you sound. You sound a lot older.
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I mean that as a compliment, not an insult.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
I'm an old man. I'm fifty three, but but I'm Italian.
So I got these I got these Italian jeans that
keep Facilian jeans that keep being looking at.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
You, and I have that in common. Mom's very Italian,
even though I don't have an Italian last name. Italian Thanksgiving?
What's your favorite thing on the dinner table? Listen, my brother,
my brother from another Larry Ward. Go look at his
website right now. Larry Ward dot ai a conservative who's
an expert on artificial intelligence. Definitely a great source of
(29:45):
information on this topic.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
This is.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Joe Walsh. It's not new music. I just enjoy it.
I like Joe Walsh. It's a good guy. Good morning,
everyone looks and kisses.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
Happy Thursday, or as some people, you know, the less optimistic,
say happy day before Friday. I don't want to overlook Thursday.
I want to enjoy this whole day just in case
it's my last one.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Well, they say it's Friday, Eve would yeah, but what
if I don't make it to Friday?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I do want to enjoy now today, mister Kenneth, have
you ever gotten drunk and it got you into trouble?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
You know?
Speaker 6 (30:26):
I have?
Speaker 9 (30:27):
You've heard those stories off the air, of course, and
they should remain off the air obviously.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Okay, Well, you're not a lawmaker, so you're you're foibles
with alcohol don't become national news stories.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
No.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
As a matter of fact, in both of my careers,
both the radio world and the you know, salon owner's world,
we get.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Into some mischief.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
You guys don't even want to know the kind of
mischief people get into in the salon world.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Wow, I know, I don't. I really don't really don't
want to know. Early, I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Well, as a in town, sometimes lawmakers also drink too
much and get into trouble.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Uh oh.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Here in our city, where our flagship station's at, we
have a congressman named Dan Crenshaw. Yeah, I've heard of he,
and I remember when he first got elected. He was
running against a whole bunch of candidates that seemed really bad,
and so to people outside of Houston, they always thought,
how'd you elect this guy?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
He votes on something he kind of misled us. Did
I elect him?
Speaker 9 (31:23):
I don't even know if I elected him or not.
Did we all give or was he just like a
district guy?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I didn't, he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I'm not in his I don't the guy with either No,
but I think we threw him support at the time
because compared to the other candidates, like.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
A lot of politicians, though he said he was going
to do a lot of things that he didn't intend
to do.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
He ran against a woman at the time named Kathy Wall.
Do you remember that she ran these commercials and the
commercials sounded like this. They'd be like this, Kathy Wall
is mean green, kicks his fighting machine.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
She's going to defend gun rights and free speech. And
then it would go like this. It would go, I
am Kathy Wall, vote for me, Kathy Wall for conk.
Speaker 9 (32:00):
And then usually at the end they'll do that thing
where there's a Kathy Wilf things she said, and probably
won't do any of the things.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
That's exactly what it sounds like. They didn't.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
That means the not gonna do what they said. That
was pretty good, Billy. Yeah, for a minute, I thought
I was listening to a computer.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
S It was actually realty good.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Anyway, we hear rumors about Dan Crenshaw all the time
that he has a drinking problem. And look, we're a
bunch of nut jobs on a morning radio show.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
We're we judging well, I mean we are judging a
little bit, but you know it's from this perspective.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I have been told by people close to Dan Crenshaw
that he is he the reason you don't see him
on Fox News all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And this is just what someone told me.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I don't want to you know, I don't know, but
the reason you don't see him on Fox News all
the time is because he drinks too much and he
shows up late to interviews and the producers.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Were annoyed by him. Oh boy, Now I don't know
if that's true, but.
Speaker 9 (32:51):
Yeah, but it's nothing wrong with spreading vile and vicious
rumors about people.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Well, yesterday someone said Dan Crenshaw has been punished by
Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, the lawmaker from Shreetport,
another place where we're on the radio because of something
that happened in Mexico. And when I heard this, I
didn't know the story yet. I thought to myself, I
bet it has to do with alcohol. And then we
find out, according to the allegation, it has to do
(33:18):
with alcohol. He went down to Mexico and he was
drinking with some diplomats, some Mexican officials. One of the
Mexican guys made a joke, offensive joke, and then he
toasted to it, and there was a woman there who
got offended. That's how the story goes. And look, we
weren't there. We don't know what happened. But this is
just one of the many reasons why we endorsed a
(33:38):
guy named Steve Toath for Congress. And we're not the
only ones. Tucker Carlson endorsed him as well. And since
we're in primary season now, we invited both Dan and
Steve onto the show this morning, and believe it or not,
only one of them took the invite.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Not Dan, Not Dan, No, you're still sleeping it off.
We welcome to the show right now. No, we don't know.
Steve Toath, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Stay Representative Steve Toeth, a lawmaker for the state of Texas.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Good morning, sir, Good morning guys, Steve. We know the joke.
Anybody heard the joke yet? Yeah? What is the joke?
Speaker 8 (34:13):
I'm I'm in a miss I don't know the joke.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
When did if you knew that, you wouldn't tell us?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
What?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
When did you first hear about this story? Did you
hear about it yesterday?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (34:23):
Man? Why are you asking me this?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I'm just carus. I'm just you.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
People tell you stuff about your opponent, right you you
talk on the radio.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
Right, so you know what we're talking about.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
Yeah, but you didn't tell me you're gonna ask me that.
So I we had heard about this probably a month ago.
And I don't know if there's any truth to the
him not being able to fly for three months internationally.
I don't I don't know if that's true or not,
and I can't confirm that. But his subcommittee has been
(34:59):
dissolved as a result of this, and there's so much
focused on just the alcohol right now that that I
think people are missing the glaring story here, which is
his entire subcommittee was dissolved over this whatever happened in
Mexico with Mexican officials. You don't get kicked off a committee.
(35:25):
Your committee doesn't get dissolved. The subcommittee doesn't get dissolved
because of a bad joke. So there's obviously a lot
more to this than has come out so far, and
the rest will come out, I think in the short order.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
All right, So I.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Guess the obvious question should be a people vote for you?
Will you get drunk on an international trip and offend
women while Mexican officials are making offensive jokes.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
So I made a decision back in twenty nineteen to
just stop drinking completely. So the bet and I would
have a a glass of wine at night for dinner,
and you know that would be a big night for me.
I just alcohol has never served me well, and so
(36:10):
I've pretty much, you know, kept it at arm's length,
and in twenty nineteen, I just decided to stop altogether
because it just doesn't serve me. And the big problem
with Austin, you know, I'm often asked, why do you
want to leave Austin and go to go to d
c DC is such a swamp? Well, Austin's really not
any different, right, it isn't. Guys abuse alcohol there every
(36:38):
bit as much as they do in d C. And
I've got a lot of friends that I came into
the Texas House with that are serving in d C.
And they'll play the exact same thing that I just
told you, which is Austin is really no different than DC.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
All right, here's my question, Dan Crenshaw, did Faalin who
wins in a drinking contest?
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Go yous McLain on that one? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
That would be fun to watch, though, and put money on. Hey,
while you're on the line.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
State Representative Steve Toth is on the phone, Dan Crunchhaw's opponent,
if you just turned it on your radio. A study
just came out showing that if Texas closes our primaries,
if we stop allowing Democrats to vote in the Republican primary,
we could gain one hundred billion dollars and six hundred
and fifty thousand jobs by closing the GOP primary and
ending the Democrat crossover influence.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That sounds like a no brainer.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
It sounds I mean, it sounds a little exaggerated those numbers,
but you know it's but it could be true.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
It's it's probably at least partially true. What do you
think about that?
Speaker 8 (37:45):
So what people are taking into account, like, you know,
we had last session, we heard the Lieutenant governor say
most conservative session ever in history of Texas. Well, he
wasn't being disingenuous and he wasn't being dishonest. What what
we're not taking into account though, is that compared to
what right? I mean, the reality is that we're getting
(38:08):
table scraps because of the fact that we've got all
these rhino Republicans in the Republican Party that vote with
the Democrats. We had twenty one Republicans that walked away
from sixty seven Republicans and decided to vote with sixty
two Democrats to pick our next House speaker. And so
(38:29):
you've got a House speaker that was given a gabble
by again sixty one Democrats, right, and twenty one Republicans.
And so you know, basically a quarter of that caucus
is Republican, three quarters as Democrat. And people wonder why
why is it that we can't get basic, basic things
(38:50):
done that would strengthen our economy, that would make it
easier for small businesses to flourish. That would make it,
you know, easier for young people to buy homes, own homes.
That would make it easier for us to have insurance
in our state. Insurance is just out of control right now,
the cost of it right All the things necessary to
(39:11):
do that are found within the Republican Party platform that
we can't pass. Why because we make deals cut deals
with Democrats. Why because we're Democrats in our.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Midst Yeah, one more question for you and then we
got a break here. If I know you're a man
of God. You you are very religious. You and I
prayed together. You go to church a lot, you were
a preacher. I think you still are one. My question
for you would be this, if you could offer some
advice to Dan Crenshaw right now, what would be the
best way to nurse a hangover?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Go ahead?
Speaker 8 (39:45):
Oh man, you're so bad, you're.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Steve has to go now.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Steve Toth Steve Tooth Forcongress dot com. He's a good
friend of ours and cation yea, and caught onto that.
That's why we're messing with him a little. But go
to his website today, make a donation, volunteer to help
him out if you can, or at the very least
just throw him some love on social media.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Thanks Steve.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Stay tuned for more Walton and Johnson featuring Kenny and Steve,
or wait, does Steve come first?
