How Environmentalists Are Destroying The Planet

This podcast edition of Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness features authors Austin Petersen and Daniel Turner

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Jiganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is deluxe.
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile. A suit of
habing and us on your radio to hel justice cheeseburgers,
a liberty rise at food.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Today is Earth Day, a day we honor that thing
we live on. Well, I mean, other than twinkies, booze
and social media. No, Earth, that's the thing we live on.
So go ahead and pat yourself on the back for
refusing to use a straw. You deserve it. We're going
to talk a lot about Earth Day today with our
guest Daniel Turner's here. He's an author from Powerthefuture dot com.
Austin Peterson will also be stopping by. He's also an

(00:42):
author from the Libertarian Republic. So hang out for that.
Right now, I want to dive right into some questions
Democrats will not ask, and these are questions that we're
pointed out by mister Derrek Hunter, one of the one
of the editors over at town hall dot com. And I,
like a lot of you, I've been following the new
involving Democrats going down to El Salvador to try to

(01:04):
free gang members and bring them back to America. They
really are a curious group of people, these democrats. They
demand answers to some things very few people care about,
while expressing complete disinterest, even contempt, in obtaining information about
those topics. It's like they're frauds who posture for effect
when it suits their needs and then deflect when it doesn't.

(01:26):
That's exactly what they are. That's what democrats are. If
children acted like this, they'd be grounded. But these are adults.
Many of them are so entrenched in power it doesn't
matter what they do. It's amazing what you'll find out
if you refused to look for it, isn't it. These
senators just detestable people, like in Maryland, for example, Chris
van Holland. Look, I didn't vote for him. I don't

(01:48):
know how he got elected. He had a prison grinder
moment this week when he went down and hung out
with a quote unquote alleged MS thirteen gang member, and
it didn't occur to him to ask are you in
a gang? He did an interview with the guy. Why
wouldn't he ask that question? Because that information would do
no good to the cause he cares most about. Why
would he ask to be lied to directly when implied,

(02:10):
ning would do just fine. Van Holland doesn't care. He
knows the truth. Everyone knows the truth. But this isn't
about the truth. This is about optics and emotion. Donald
Trump made massive gains with Hispanic Latino voters because of
how the horrible policies of Democrats have failed them for years.
How many voters? How many votes do you think they'd

(02:31):
win if they'd said they'd keep doing what sucks. They
have no intention of stopping doing what sucks. They can't
talk about it. They simply revert back to their default identity, politics,
factory setting, and they suck. They believe the claiming. A
guy who spent more time in front of judges more
than a dozen times fighting his deportation has not gotten

(02:51):
due process will somehow appeal to Hispanic voters because he's Hispanic.
That's actually the definition of racism, well, it's the framework
of racism. Democrats assume everyone's stupid, mostly because people voted
for them. But average Americans are not stupid. Average Americans
are bright people. People have seen behind the curtain. They

(03:12):
smelled with. The Democrats are shoveling the people most tormented
in this country by Latin American gangs are actually Hispanics, Latinos,
legal and illegal alike, American or Green card holders. It
really doesn't matter. None of them want these gang members
anywhere near them. Democrats operate under this idea that people
rally around anyone who shares a skin color with them,

(03:34):
no matter what, for the simple reason that they share
a skin color with them. The same goes for all
the configurations of people. White people didn't rally for Charles
Manson because he's white. Just because someone's the same skin
color doesn't mean you love them. Whatever the case, questions
deserve answers, Democrats are declaring the answers don't matter because

(03:58):
they do their cause no good. We would like to
know the answers to some of these questions. Why wouldn't
you ask that illegal immigrant gang member who you went
to go visit in that prison in l Salvador if
he was ever a member of a gang, because the
answer would destroy the narrative.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Kamala Harris deserves to be vice president like Elvis deserved
as black belt in karate?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
What a hunka hunkah burning.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Krab This is Kitty Webster's pursuit of happiness?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Is it an interesting on Easter. There's two times when
you realize people like Catholicism on Easter and whenever a
pope dies. And this week we had both of those
things happen. It's just an observation I had on Sunday.
I'm looking at x Twitter and I'm like, boy, people
sound real Catholic today. They're talking about their favorite saints
and and I love that. As you know, I'm a

(04:47):
Catholic every day of the year, not just on Easter,
and I enjoyed seeing people act that way about my religion.
And I it's an old expression, Sunday Christians. You know
what that is? People who are only Christians on Sunday. Okay,
let's be fair. A lot of Catholics we have very
traditional religious service, but you'll probably notice a lot of
Catholics drink and gamble and swear and spent in that

(05:09):
sort of thing. It's a Catholics are fun, you know,
God forgives. We're a fun group of people more or less.
But anyway, then the pope died, and I just I
noticed someone I never realized was a Catholic before. Maybe
he's not a Catholic, I don't know, is out praising
Pope Francis. That somebody is Leonardo DiCaprio. Boy, that seems weird.

(05:30):
He's not a religious guy. In fact, he hasn't. He
lived a life of debauchery and Hollywood, dating the youngest
actresses he possibly can. When they turn twenty five, they're
too old to be with him. That doesn't seem like
a guy that would admire Pope Francis. And then I
found out, oh, oh, climate change, that's what they have
in common. Oh, Leonardo DiCaprio likes Pope France. Is not

(05:50):
because Pope Francis is a communist, Absolutely absolutely not. Leonardo
DiCaprio loves his money. He's not going to be giving
it up anytime soon. And currently the didn't Leonardo DiCaprio
have like a weird, suspicious relationship with a Malaysian businessman
who was involved in some kind of a political donation

(06:11):
scheme with Barack Obama years ago, And it just seems
like an unlikely guy to be associated with the Pope.
But then you find out, oh, climate change, that's the
one thing they have in common. Like, you know, even
the Devil and joy Bear can get along once in
a while when they're applauding abortion. Obviously, I found this interesting,

(06:32):
and today is Earth Day after all, and Pope Francis was,
after all, the environmentalist pope, So why not invite my
friend Daniel Turner on the show? Daniel Turner. Daniel, you're
an environmentalist, aren't you?

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Oh? I am. I'm a farmer. I live off the land.
I have my own well water. You know. I tell
people who tell me I need to respect the earth
and say I actually own it, you know. I mean,
so you don't have to tell me about respecting your
their nature because I live in nature. But yeah, Leo
and the Pope may he rest in peace to him,

(07:07):
am Catholic.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You know.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
They're the type of environmentalists who preach one thing but
don't actually have to live it. They would condemn others
to live the default of their environmental movement, very much
the way Bernie Sanders is a communist, but he's not
really a communist. He's a communist party leader. Right at

(07:29):
the height of the Soviet Union, the party leader has
still had caviare and vodka and drove around in cadillacs.
The people were the ones who suffered, But screw the people, like,
we're not here for that. We're here for the cause. Right,
Bernie is flying on a private jet to end his
end oligarchy tour, right in the same way Pope Francis
is flying around the world saying we have to stop

(07:52):
using fossil fuels. The same way Leonardo DiCaprio rents his
private yacht in San Trope and is hanging out with
twenty three year old girls, but he cares deeply about
climate change. There is a level of elitism that wants
to make the rest of the world suffer for this cause.
But they're not going to embrace the suffering part. No,

(08:16):
the rest of them, they'll condemn you, they'll condemn the
Third world. They'll condemn slave children in Africa to mine
the metals and minerals for fossil, for for wind and solar.
But they're just gonna keep the Apostolic palace, They're going
to keep the private jet, they're going to keep They're
going to keep the good life, preaching to the rest
of us how we have to adapt for climate change. Hypocrites,

(08:38):
all of them.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm glad you brought up Bernie Sanders. You know it
is Earth Day aka Unicorn Killer Day. We've explained that
so many times on the radio. I'm sure most people
have heard the story before. The Earth Day was created
by a guy who murdered his girlfriend and put her
body in a trunk. And it's a scary, long, sad
story about a guy that went on the run. But
that's not the point of the segment. One person that
loves Earth Day is the guy you just mentioned. Bernie's

(09:00):
on his stop the Oligarchy Tour, where he's traveling around
in a private plane. I saw the numbers on this recently.
The amount of time and money he's spending on a
private plane in the first quarter of this year. It
amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars, which can't be
very good for the environment. But it's not even the silliest,
most ridiculous thing about his kill the Oligarchy Tour. I

(09:22):
still contest the saddest part of the end of the
Oligarchy Tour or whatever he's calling it, was his appearance
at Cachella. I mean, think about this, Daniel. You have
you have young people who financed their concert ticket right
because they didn't have enough money to spend thousands of
dollars to go. Seelna del Rey or Travis Scoonner. So
they financed their concert ticket get to the concert which

(09:44):
they couldn't afford to go to. That's why I sixty
five percent of attendees financed it. Right before you're at
a concert at a big music festival. I don't know
if you're aware of this or not, Daniel, some of
these young people use drugs. So imagine if you will,
imagine if you will. You're waiting for the liner to
come out whatever. I don't know who it was. It was,
if someone was about someone big was about to come out.
It was a big act. And right before the headliner

(10:06):
comes out, what do people in there? What do college
kids and people in their twenties do well, right before
the headliner comes out, That's when they take LSD That's
when they take their mushrooms. That's when they eat their molly,
They snort their ketamine or like they take their drugs,
They take their edibles, smoke their joint waiting for the headliner.
They want the drugs to kick in once the show starts,
and so that everybody takes their party drugs and then

(10:28):
seconds later Bernie Sanders comes out and talks about socialism.
For twenty minutes. I don't know a lot about using drugs,
but that sounds like a waste of drugs, Daniel.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
That's going to get rid of your high really fast.
That you're there to see Lana del Rey on LSD
and Bernie comes out and talks about fighting Donald Trump
and the oligarchy. But Bernie going to Coachella to talk
about oligarchy is I forget what Vegas buffet is the
really expensive and really it's called the Bacchanall Buffet. It's

(10:59):
named after the Greek guard Bacchus, the god of debauchery
and wine and gluttony and sex. It's one hundred and
fifty dollars ahead or something absurd. That would be like
going to the bacca Now buffet at Vegas to talk
about world hunger. I mean, it's such a level of
insanity that you're going to Coachella where tickets are eight

(11:22):
hundred dollars or six hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
A night.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
A night, and you're talking about how the.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Olag hockey is coming after you.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's this is the level of disconnect and burning. Flew
private to go to Coachella, and he flew to lax
Or Los Angeles. You know that day I found from
the East coast from the DC area, our three major airports.
More if he was in New York or Boston or wherever,
there were some close to forty flights direct flights that

(11:52):
day to to Los Angeles. United Airlines alone had eight
direct flights from Bellis, which is Washington, d C. To
Los Angeles. But Bernie took a private jet. Why because
he can? And I don't begrudge him that. I would
take a private jet too, if I could afford it
and someone gave me the resources. I would never fly

(12:14):
on a because I fly a lot, and it's miserable,
and it's become more and more miserable as people have
become meaner and fatter, and TSA has gotten worse. Flying
is awful. If I could afford a private jet, I
would absolutely take it. But I'm not trying to tell
the rest of the world how to live their life
and order what type of car they can drive, what

(12:35):
type of gas stove they can drive, so they can own,
what type of air conditioning they should use. Bernie and
his party is and you would think that alone would
get him disqualified as a Democrat, but they will just
hold him up as an example.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know, it's interesting what the environment the Party of
Environmentalism is up to this week, because obviously Earth Day
is a big deal to them. They love this more
than Easter. They only like the pope because he as
an environmentalist. But the Party of Environmentalism is up to
some interesting things this week, Daniel. Let's take a look
at what they're up to right now. Well, they're burning
Tesla's right, they're flying down to Central America to see

(13:12):
if they could free MS thirteen gang members. That stuff
doesn't seem like it's very good for the environment to me, Daniel, No.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
No, no, no again, Your footprint doesn't matter when there
are larger causes that it raises the question how existential
was this existential threat? I wrote about this a lot
after the election was over because Kamala Harris's campaign never
talked about climate change, right because they realized it wasn't
polling very well. People cared about the economy, they cared
about the border and crime. They didn't care about climate change.

(13:43):
And yet for four years Joe Biden told us it
was the number one threat we faced. He said, the
generals told me. You know what the generals told me.
The biggest threat we have in the military climate change.
I'd love to know what generals they were. But that's
what Joe Biden told us for four years. When is
an existential threat stop becoming an existential threat? And I
guess the answer is when it doesn't poll very well.

(14:06):
So today is Earth Day, but the Bernie Sanders crowd
of Earth Day sick of fans. I mean, I'm sure
it's Bernie and John Kerry and that weird German chick
Greta Thunberger sitting there on the mall in DC, and
no one else is at their party because there are
way cooler things to protest. Burning Tesla's cooler, kilmar Obrago,

(14:28):
murderer is gangster is more fun. There are cooler things
to protest. And so again it goes back to how
existential was this threat? If you can just drop it
when a six year topic comes up, then it really
wasn't that existential to begin with, was it.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Let's talk about solar capacity right now, Texas leads the
nation in new solar capacity. You as a news story here,
you shared on social media. Look solar panels good, you know,
Earth good, solar good. The I'm not what could possibly
be the harm of the solar panels besides a long
list of things, Daniel, But let us know.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah, capacity is a useless concept, and the environmental left
always uses the capacity word when they talk about wind
and solar because when it is nighttime, your capacity is zero.
So it doesn't matter what your capacity is. Right. The
human being has the capacity to lift cars, It has
the capacity to climb mountains, but it doesn't right, ask

(15:29):
any the fat person next to you on the complaint
on the plane has the capacity to be a normal
size and make it comfortable to travel, but they don't.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
Right.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Capacity is a useless metric that the environmental left invented
to convince you that things like wind and solar work.
So the capacity of solar doesn't matter. What matters is baseline,
but we never measure that. And if you want to say, Texas, congrats,
we have all this new capacity for solar at what cost?

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Right?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
How are your electric bills? How expensive? Electricity in Texas
is up forty percent? So there's your capacity? Is it
better for you? Is it better for your grid? You know,
it's just starting to get warm in Texas, Kenny, and
it's minutes away from your governor telling you to turned
off your air conditioner, to please don't use your dryer,

(16:21):
to please turn off your pool filter because the grid
is suffering. So when those texts come, please call me up,
have me on your show live, and I'll tell you
that's your capacity. That's your wind and solar capacity. Texas,
you're cheap is your state is more expensive and weaker
because of the environmental left. The grift is big in Texas.

(16:41):
Everything is big in Texas, but the grift is even bigger.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, it'd be a great idea for a single guy
to tell a young woman, you know, my bank account
has the capacity for millions of dollars. Really, yeah, oh no,
it's good. I don't know if you've heard. But downstairs there,
I have the capacity to be hung like a mule.
I don't know if you've heard about it.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Exactly. I have the capacity to go all night long.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
You know.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
So capacity is enough and that's that should be solar's model.
I have the capacity to go all night except that,
you know, I'll fizzle out as soon as the sunsets.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, or what is cloudy day? Let's talk about Hey,
let's talk about wind turbines. We've got a lot. I
want to we're on a roll. We're gonna go a
little long on this segment if you don't mind, Daniel,
but I wind turbines have basically been crushed by the
Trump administration. There were plans to build a big wind
farm off of the coast of New York. And this
is one of those things. I don't know why environmentalists

(17:35):
like wind farms as far as I could tell, They're
not doing anything good for the environment they see, especially
when they're putting them out in the water like that.
Can you explain this to people for those that don't
get it.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, So, So the Biden administration had given enormous amount
of rights to put wind farms along the Atlantic coast.
It's why we suddenly went from Wales never dying on
the Atlantic coast to dying at the ranks of five
and six and seven a month. Have you noticed you
haven't seen a whale wash up on the beach in
a long time.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
Why those stores kind of ended.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, because we've stopped We've stopped the sonar booying to
explore the seabed floor to put down wind turbines because
there's no more money for it. So with the sonar
booy's stopping the whales. Migratory patterns are not being disrupted,
and they're not beaching themselves on sand bars or on
the shore. It's amazing how the talk about an Earth

(18:30):
Day celebration. We don't hear about whales dying anymore. But
that that is the drawback of putting up these wind farms.
So you kill a lot of whales, you get rid
of fishing rights and lobster rights, et cetera, et cetera.
And they only work when the wind is blowing. Wish
if you've been to the beach, the wind pends to
blow a lot. But when it doesn't blow, those things

(18:51):
are useless. But you know it's not useless. Is your
capacity capacity? Your capacity to consume electricity When the wind
is not blowing in Texas, you still want to put
on your air conditioner, you still want to put on
your pool filter, you still want to put on your
TV and stream Netflix. So that's why we need baseline.
We need electricity that works, that is powered by fossil

(19:14):
fuels or nuclear that work all the time, not wind,
not reliant on the sun, not reliant on unicorn tears
or any other magic formula. We need capacity that is
baseline power that works all the time, or you have
to get ready to sacrifice. And Texans are being told
sacrifice or cough up more money. So get ready, Texas,

(19:37):
You're going to cough up more money and sacrifice more.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Hey, I want to ask you about one more thing
here before we run out of time. We've already gone
a little I mean we've gone long on this segment obviously,
but if you could just explain this real quick. One
of the news stories the left is trying to make
a big deal about is Trump's proposed roll cuts for
the Endangered Species Act. That this is going to be
terrible for the environment. It's going to kill all kinds
of animals. There's going to be seagulls falling from the

(20:01):
sky and eagles will end up being used as lunchmeat
and a lunchable sandwich pack or whatever. And that's not
quite the reality. In fact, the Endangered Species Act it
doesn't really seem to do what it's supposed to do,
kind of like the Affordable Care Act or the Inflation
Reduction Act. It's not really protecting species the way we
hoped it. What is it?

Speaker 4 (20:21):
No, the inedied species Act is one of those pieces
of legislation that had very good intentions that the environmental
left abuses to push their agenda. So, for example, when
I was at the confirmation hearings of Senator of excuse me,
Governor of Bergham at the time now Secretary of Interior Burgram,
they talked a lot about this because they said big
senators from big states out west said we had all

(20:44):
these animals put on the Endangered Species Act forty years ago,
that we can't get them off the Act, and now
they are causing damage grizzly bears, wolves, etc. And they said, now,
if you're a cattle farmer, your biggest liability is that
there are too many of these animals that we can't
cull because they're on the Endangered Species Acting. The Danger

(21:07):
Species Act is also used to say I want to
put up this wind farm. I'm sorry windfold. Of course,
the wind farm is never find endangered species. I want
to drill for oil in this part of Texas. And
they say, well, you know, the short haired sage grouse
is on the Endangered Species Act and you say, well, no,
it's on the Endangered Species Act for North Dakota.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Right.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
We have plenty of them here, doesn't matter. We're going
to apply it to Texas as well. And they go
to a liberal judge and they say, Judge, they're going
to endanger the short haired sage grouse and that's an
endangered species, and the judge has no wherewithal to say, well,
in West Texas, it's not an endangered species. No, it
doesn't matter, blanket application. And that's how they use these

(21:52):
endangered speed Look at the spotted owl. You know, the
spotted owl wasn't endangered at all. The spotted hour is
being killed by the barn owl. Wow, that was because
it was bigger and stronger. So they use these rules
to stop development and to punish industries they don't like.
It's time we took control of those rules again.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Well, Daniel, I hope that you're not an endangered a
contributor to this show, and that your capacity to be
on the air with us in the future is as
high as the sky.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
Thank you, Kenn. I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Hey, Daniel Turner, Power the future. Daniel, Happy Earth Day.
I know this is your favorite day.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
It is. It's a great Earth day.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
You know.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
I love my earth, I love my farm, and I
just hate the environment the left because there are a
bunch of infiltrated communists who are hurting this nation.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, I have a feeling you, me and the radio
listener of that in common, the difference between a politician
and a snail.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
A snail leaves its slime behind. You're listening to Kenny Webster.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Believe it or not, this is a Hollywood report, even
though I'm playing the wedding March music from the movie
Flash Gordon with Queen doing the soundtrack. Actually it's probably appropriate.
It's a movie from that's music from a movie I
enjoyed as a child. I have no idea. I haven't
made a lot of money. I don't remember, but I
do know it probably did better than Kelly trans the
Wedding Banquet. I was just looking at a report on

(23:14):
brightbart here about how that you've not heard of that movie.
You want to know why you haven't heard of it
because it's woke gender queer garbage. No, it's true. I
probably doesn't surprise you much. But Hollywood tried to do
it again. They tried to force feed us a movie
that was about woke gender queer polyamorous marriages. Nobody wanted

(23:36):
to watch it. The person that did the movie was
someone named Kelly trans The Wedding Banquet was advertised as
a big, widely released queer, super woke gay remake, and
it died like few movies have ever had at the
box office before. This didn't just go broke. It went
dead in the water. Go woke, go deceased, get woke,

(24:00):
shove a stick in your spokes, hit the ground, start
to choke, have a stroke, and then croak broke. The
Wedding Banquet opened Friday in eleven hundred movie theaters that
made less than a million dollars. Maybe you can locate
why normal people might not find this appealing. Let me
read the description to you.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Kelly.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Marie Tran leads the Heartfelt rom com as Angela, a
scientist who is one fourth of a cohabitating queer friend
group living in Seattle. Angela and her partner Lee want
to start having a family, but Lee's costly IVF treatment
isn't working. Another couple, Chris played by SNL's Bow and Yang,

(24:38):
and Men live in their garage when Men's wealthy grandmother
pressures him to leave his artist life behind for an
important role in the family's corporation in Korea. Men scrambles
to find a way to stay in America given that
his student visa is about to become invalid. His plan
stage a marriage to Angela to secure a green card,
and he'll pay for Lee's eyes IVF treatment in return. Okay,

(25:03):
there's some more but to get why this is garbage?
Maybe maybe it was hurt by bad reviews. Nope, Actually
it got an eighty eight percent fresh rating at rotten
dot COM's critics love this crap. Maybe it was review
bombed by the evil right wing No eighty percent fresh
rating from moviegoers dot Com. The right wingers didn't even
care to bother to make fun of it on the internet.

(25:24):
It just bombed. Maybe people no longer want to see
original movies. No, that's not the case. It's a remake
of a nineteen ninety three movie that earned twenty three
point six million dollars thirty two years ago. Look at
this description here, one fourth of a cohabitating queer friend
group IVF treatments, student visa gozi invalid, secure a green card.

(25:46):
That's what the movie's about. Who exactly is this movie's constituency?
Come one, come all, you gay illegal aliens looking to
get pregnant through IVF. Imagine the bubbled arrogance required to
drop this into twelve hundred movie theaters. To give you
an idea of how bad the Wedding Banquet performed. The
re release of a twenty year old movie more than

(26:09):
doubled its per screen average this week. Pride and Prejudice
from two thousand and five enjoyed a twentieth anniversary re
re release on roughly fourteen hundred theaters this weekend. Earned
two point seven million dollars with a per screen average
of nineteen hundred dollars. The Wedding Banquet's per screen average
was about eight hundred bucks, which means you could have

(26:29):
hurled live grenades in those movie theaters and you wouldn't
have hurt anyone. There was nobody there to hurt. Meanwhile,
Angel Studios animated Christ Story, King of Kings. How'd that do?
You're probably wondering, Well, it turns out it grossed another
eighteen million dollars, for a total of forty six million
dollars after two weekends. Oh this is interesting too. The

(26:50):
Chosen Last Summer Part one to Last Supper. Excuse me,
The Chosen Last Supper Parts one, two, and three earned
a combined gross of almost forty five million dollars. And
that's a TV show that will stream for free online.
You get my drift. Here, go woke, go go go
be a corpse.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Screw you. I'm going to Texas and thank our lucky stars, sorry,
our lucky lone star we did. This is Kinny Webster's
pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, it's Earth Day, as we discussed earlier in the show.
And it's always interesting to me how the far left
will grasp it all these little subcultures and try to
force them together, like the LGBTQ movement and the Palestinian
Rights group. It's like, well, that feels like a contradiction.
One of these groups of people is traditionally conservative Muslim.

(27:49):
They clearly don't care about women's rights or the LGBTQ.
Whatever your opinions are on Palestine, it doesn't matter Queers
for Palestine. It feels like you get through off of
a bridge or a building if you were a queer
in Palestine. But I digress. I don't think they have
any pride parades in Palestine. I could be wrong. And
another great example of this would be the communists going

(28:12):
out and you know, attacking and criticizing Wall Street because
they care so much about the environment. You know, they're
actual communist countries on Earth, places like gosh, I don't know,
the most obvious example, China or Vietnam, or Cuba, or
here's a great example of Venezuela. Guess where they don't

(28:34):
care a lot about environmentalism in those places in they
don't care at all about the ozone layer or carbon pollute.
They don't give a damn. So I'm looking at footage
here of a group of climate activists vandalizing the Wall
Street charging Bowl today. You know that famous statue of
the bowl on Wall Street. They spray painted over it
with bright green graffiti. I'm just going to go ahead

(28:55):
and climb out on a lot. I'm so old I
can remember when we were told aerosol spray cans, we're
doing damage to the ozone layer. I don't know if
they still fail that way, maybe they change the spray cans.
I don't know, but in then a little bit of it.
If you're a communist and you want a communist country,
I assure you that's not good for the environment. But
I could be wrong. So I reached out to one
of the most adamant capitalists that I know. In fact,

(29:18):
he is the leader of the Libertarian Nationalist Movement, a
group of libertarian Trump supporters. Austin Peterson is here right
now from ap for liberty dot com. He's also the
curator of the Walton Johnson online store. Austin, I want
to just paint a picture here for you. You're walking down
the street. You're in Wall Street in New York City,
and a bunch of plus sized communists starts spray painting

(29:38):
on the Wall Street Bowl for the Environment. What would
be your reaction to that?

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Well, first of all, thanks for having me, Kenny. It's
nice to chat with all the people on the beautiful
Gulf Coast down there. I hope that you guys are
enjoying your beautiful spring and that you had a lovely
Easter weekend. I mean, it's kind of you know what
it reminds me of, Kenny. It's kind of like the
Tesla terrorism and going on. Who are the people who
own the Tesla's right? It's liberals, right, They've been telling

(30:05):
us all you buy an electric car, buy a Tesla,
And now they're going out there and they're setting fire
to and they're attacking Tesla's. If the way to compare
that here is this is to look at the Democratic Party,
where you have these super rich, millionaire, billionaire leftist Democrats
who have a the progressive base hates them, and this

(30:28):
the coalition that the Democrats have built is this far
left progressive sort of populous Bernie Sanders aocs who hate capitalism,
who love you know, everything that Carl Marx has ever
brought on this earth. And you know, maybe stolen wasn't
so bad, and you know, the you know, mal Seytong
had a few good points, but combined with their elite

(30:50):
suber capitalists, democratic you know liberals, you know, the Limousine liberals,
the Mercedes Marxists, if you will. So all of this,
if you kind of like zoom out and look at
the meta is to say, is to look at how
the realignment of political parties has occurred in a way
that the Democrats used to lie about and say, oh,

(31:11):
the party switched, the party switched. You know, you know
how they love to talk about, oh, well, the party switched.
And that's why, you know, why is it that the
Republicans were the ones who freed the slaves. Well, and
now the Democrats are the ones who are for civil rights. Well,
the party switched, the party switched. Well, you know that
was always a lie, because what does that mean that

(31:31):
FDR was a Republican. I don't think so. Actually no,
but in a way, in a way, Kenny, the parties
have switched. But it's really been in the last few
years there's been a total realignment. And you can actually
kind of credit that in a sense to how the
blonkers the left has become and they're extremely polarized. And

(31:52):
then Donald Trump's reshaping of the Republican Party to create
a right wing populist movement that has sort of, you know,
been insurgent and you know, sort of guillotined the Mitt Romney,
Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell consensus that existed before and reshaped
the Republican Party in his own image. And it contains

(32:14):
a lot of nineteen nineties Democrats RFK junior types and
you know, labor union activists that would have been comfortable
Democrats twenty three, twenty thirty years ago.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
For ten years.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
I mean, that's how I think when I see things
like that. But you know, it's it is kind of
big picture, but like that's that's where we're at. It's
kind of chaos.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, it's really interesting to watch. And if it was
if it was a movie, I would think it wasn't
very realistic, Austin, But that's happening in real life. Hell,
while we're on Wall Street. While we're on Wall Street,
can we talk about economics for a minute, because you
are a free market economist. You're a guy that understands
economics and investment. And you've seen Trump feuding with Jerome
Powell this week. I'm sure we all agreed. Jerome's a

(32:54):
complete d bag. And I'm so old I can remember
a few years ago. I had a buddy tell me
a buy who's an investor. He said, the cost of
gold at seventeen hundred is too high, Kenny, don't buy it,
wait for it to drop down. Well, guess what. I
took his advice, and now it's at thirty four hundred.
That was terrible advice. Bitcoin is kind of like gold
for millennials. I as volatile as bitcoin is. I got

(33:15):
to tell you, Austin, it's been great for me. It
drops down, I buy it, it shoots up, I sell it.
It drops down, I buy it. It shot down recently,
now it seems to be spiking back up again. Is
bitcoin basically gold for millennials?

Speaker 4 (33:29):
It is?

Speaker 5 (33:29):
And you know what's funny is that in my podcast business,
we sometimes do get gold advertisers. So you know, two
years ago I had this gold sponsor, and of course,
you know, I'm encouraging people to buy gold, and I
don't want to see the US economy destroyed. But I
actually am thankful that the people who did listen to
me then and did buy gold. All, you know, they

(33:51):
all need to send me back a little bit because
they've all done very well. So you know, seeing gold
go up to three thousand, three thirty five hundred ounce
is actually a sign of the weakness of our economy,
not a good thing. But bitcoin has operated. It's sort
of moved with the stock market in the past, where
when the stock market crashed, bitcoin crashed. And what we're

(34:15):
actually seeing in the last few days with the market
volatility is bitcoin has actually started to rise relatively to
the stock market, which some people are saying is a
sort of decoupling, which is kind of in a way,
what gold does. It goes opposite to where the market
goes when there's volatility. You want to own gold, you
want to own bonds. But even our bond market is shaky, unfortunately,

(34:39):
due to the economic interventions that have come from a
lot of elite ivy league Harvard brains who you know,
as we all remember the great Thomas soul said, where
there's economic chaos or chaos in the United States, there's
always a man from Harvard in the middle of it.
But the question of bitcoin is, well, it's true.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
It's true, inevitably, that's right, Yeah, go.

Speaker 5 (35:01):
On, it's true. But with bitcoin and as a digital gold,
it's always been billed as such, but we've ever seen
it really act as such. And now we finally are.
I saw today Michael Sailor, he owns this company called
micro Strategy. They own billions in bitcoin and they're buying
hundreds of millions of dollars more. And I'm not saying
trust the experts or that the rich guys are always right,

(35:23):
but you have to wonder what it is why it
is that they want to own it, And it's because
they think, and I agree, that it will be the
cornerstone of the economy in the future. That these cryptocurrencies
are the way that in the future we will transa
because we're not even really using bits of paper anymore.
I mean, who's using cash? Not many people, some do,
probably some of your audience do. And it's not an

(35:45):
unwise decision. But the economy is moving towards this digital
currency model, and provided we don't get a central bank
digital currency, as long as we don't let the central
banks control it, then it really could be the path
to financial freedom that people like ourselves want. And you
know my wife, you know, she's got gold and she's
you know, we keep a little bit of gold, and

(36:06):
she's like, she's like, wow, should I sell it now?
And I'm like, gold is like land. You don't really
ever want to sell it. You want it because you
only want to sell when you're desperate. But the problem
with selling gold, of course, is you got to find
somebody who'll do it. There's a spot price, there's a
transportation fee, and while crypto does have fees, of course,
there it is a lot easier to transact. So I

(36:29):
see the economy moving in this direction. This is not
investment advice, but I think it's wise to own some gold,
and I do think that bitcoin will be a digital
gold in the future, not now, but it's starting to
move that that direction.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Hey, I don't know if you looked at the show.
We didn't talk about this off the air, so I
hate to throw you a curve ball if you don't
have any thoughts on this. But Claus Schwab was the
guy that came up with what was known as the
Great Reset at the World Economic Forum. Just a poster
boy for globalism and Kinnesian or Marxist politics. The worst
kind of people go to a cocktail party with Claus

(37:02):
Schwab where they probably drink the blood of virgins. Just
a horrible person. Good news, bad news on that he's
stepping down now has headed the World Economic for him.
The guy who is replacing him looks exactly like a
Bond villain. The guy's name's Peter Brabik Lett Mathe. He
sounds like a Bond villain, looks like he's a weird dresser.
He wears like weird pink blouses, and he's got one

(37:24):
of his eyes looks like it's all bloodshot and red,
like it was replaced by some kind of a terminator
to embryo robot eye. He looks like something out of
Central Casting. If you called a Hollywood movie studio and
said I need a villain for a movie, it would
really look like this guy. A Have you checked this
dude out? He thinks that water one weird point that

(37:45):
he made, and I don't know at what the libertarian
and you would think of this. He doesn't think water
should be a human right. I'm just curious if you've
had a chance to take a look at what's going
on at the world economic for him this week.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Well not so I take the side of the elites
or anything. I also don't think water should be a
human right because I think it should be sold in
the free market and it should be privately owned, and
that you know, water should be should be freely available
to those who absolutely need it, but on a you know,
on a cash back.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Hey, I mean I get that. I think that's a
valid point, Austin. The one thing about him that leftists
don't like is actually, to me, the thing about him
that seems kind of normal, Like, wait, you think you're
entitled to someone else's labor, someone else should have to
go out and build a well for you. But that's
ironically that's the one thing leftists don't like about him.
They like everything else about him.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
Here's the here's the weird thing.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
You know.

Speaker 5 (38:32):
The real struggle for people like us Kenny, right, is
that is that the way that government has gotten bigger,
it operates on a ratchet effect. Right, And now the
left has discovered and whether and when I say the left,
I'm not talking about political parties here, I'm talking about
people who are for central planning for bigger government. I
don't care what the letter is after the last name.

(38:54):
But they have this thing that they call libertarian paternalism,
or essentially it's an opt out right. So when Obamacare
came out, what they wanted to do was they wanted
to try they they've opted everybody in by default. It's
like you know how when you go to a website
and it will have boxes selected for you saying, opt
into my email, opt into tracking, opt into all this,

(39:16):
and you have to go in and you have to
de select all the things that you don't want. Well,
this is it's they actually there's a term for this.
They call it the nudge, where they're just they're nudging
us towards bigger government. And what they'll do is they'll
take some libertarian views. Oh, well, you can opt out.
We're not forcing you into it, but we're going to
opt you into it without your consent, and you're going

(39:38):
to have to opt out. So the left has a
strategy to grow government. They call it the nudge. They
call it libertarian paternalism, which is that we're going to
make you do the right thing. You can opt out
of it, but we're going to go ahead and opt
you in by default. And that is the playbook, the
Sololensky playbook, the Left playbook. That's how like, that's how

(39:58):
the world economic forms to get in they're going to say, oh, well,
we're not forcing anyone to do it necessarily, but we're
going to opt everybody in. Now that's opposed to like Blackrock,
for example, the CEO Larry Fink, who seven eight years
ago at Bloomberg, before Trump had had really solidified as
hold on the economy, he was saying, you do have
to force certain behaviors. And some of these mega corporations

(40:20):
have been trying to actually force us all without an
opt out, to opt into socialist policies and too DEI
and to eesg et cetera, et cetera. But it's very insidious.
Kenny and a lot of times, you know what, I'll
find a lot of times I'll find people will wear
the cloak of libertarianism and they will, you know, they
will try and say, oh, well, it's all opt out,

(40:42):
it's all voluntary, and they will actually use our rhetoric
while advancing Stalinist or socialist policies on the back end
and saying, oh, well, it's opt out to opt out. Well,
it's kind of like that. It's the boiling frog metaphor.
They're slowly turning up the heat. They're slowly turning up
the heat until eventually we live in a socialist or
a stalin a state because we've bought into rhetoric about

(41:07):
ignoring the Supreme Court or do process because it serves
our needs for immigration, or the tariffs punished China or
something like that. But we got to be really careful, Kenny,
about people who want to misuse, you know, our beliefs
or our rhetoric to try and advance their socialist, anti
American policies.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
If you know what I mean, I do know exactly
what you mean. Austin Peterson, You know what else I like.
Austin Peterson is a great author. He's a good speaker,
he's got a cool podcast, and he's the guy who
put together the Walton and Johnson online store. You can
check it out at I Love WJ dot com. It
doesn't matter if you're a conservative, a Republican, a libertarian,
a populist. That's pretty much ed. But if you're any

(41:45):
of those things and you have a sense of humor,
you'll probably love I love WJ dot com. We had
new merchandise all the time, Doge beach towels and Gulf
of America hoodies and all kinds of cool stuff. What's
the latest over there, Austin.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
I actually I have got a brand new line rolling out
for you guys, coming today this afternoon, so check it out.
Donald Trump with a beautiful Mexican taco and a sombrero
in front of the setting Gulf of America soon. I
think people, it looks like the kind of reminiscent of
the old high boy or the Big Boy at With
Donald Trump pulling up a beautiful taco in front of
the Gulf of America, I think your audience is really

(42:21):
gonna love it. So check it out at I Love
WJ dot com.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Just in time for Sinco to Mayo we love that
down here in Texas. Austin, my brother, govern Kenny.

Speaker 5 (42:30):
I appreciate you, brother and all you do and all
your listeners. I hope to see them all sometime in person.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Soon.

Speaker 5 (42:34):
We need to do an event together.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
I feel the same way, dude. Grateful to have you
part of our team. Austin Peterson a really cool guy.
I'm Kenny Webster. I love you all. I hope you
have an awesome afternoon. Drive safe out there. We'll be
back bright and early tomorrow morning for more of what
you bought a radio for.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Vaness Radi the
Governor mad

Speaker 2 (43:00):
To kiss your ass when you listen to the show.
