Speaker 4 (00:21):
Hey, woman gave birth at the Burning Man Festival last
week while I was there. She did not know she
was pregnant. There's no word on her name, but I
guarantee it's something stupid. Meanwhile, the festival has already set
up a special tense so people can worship the placenta.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's what they do.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Isn't that amazing? In the same weekend, burning Man had
a birth and a murder. But the most shocking thing
to win is that Burning Man is still soap. Nope,
you never see soap. Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster, Thanks
so much for joining us this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Lots of people here. Daniel Turner is going to be
here for Power the Future.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
We're going to take a deep dive into a political
summit happening right now in China with the Communist Party
leader along with Ladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong
Un of North Korea. Very rare moment where the leader
of the Hermit Kingdom is actually venturing outside of his
shell to go talk to other people. Also stopping by
this afternoon, Brandon Waltons will be here from texascorecard dot Com.
(01:14):
There are hundreds of new laws going into effect today
in the state of Texas. Well, technically they went into
effect yesterday for September. First, we'll let you know what
some of those new laws are. And before we're done,
Ethan Buchanan stopping by from Well. He's a twenty two
year old talk show host that can be heard every
Sunday evening here on your favorite radio station, and he's
(01:35):
reacting to news about how a lot of young Americans
are upset about the gun grabbers in the liberal media
trying to take away your Second Amendment rights. In the
wake of yet another transgender executed mass shooting, purportedly a
transgender activist, a transgender shooter supposedly is guilty. We don't
know if a person's actually guilty or not, but we
(01:57):
do know that all that taking place in Washington, DC
this week has caused quite a bit of uproar. When
RFK Junior, your Health Zar, is making a lot of
changes at the CDC, RFK Junior is endangering American's health,
according to former CDC bosses who just wrote a guest
essay at The New York Times. You remember back during
(02:18):
the Trump years? Nextcuse me during the Biden years.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I know.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I try to forget that about them as well. Do
you remember the monkey pox zar is there's a monkey
pox outbreak. Most of you probably didn't know what monkeypox
was until gay people started getting it while they were
attending orgies and going to bathhouses in Europe. And they
were coming home with monkey pox, and we didn't know
what it was either. And then a gay man got
(02:41):
a job at the CDC.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
He attends.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
He's a leather man who likes going to gay orgies,
but he is an authority on how to prevent monkey box.
He became the monkey pox Zar. Apparently him and many
others have written an article today for The New York
Times explaining how RFK Junior is bad for your health.
A guy who attends gay orgies is very concerned that
you shouldn't be listening to RFK Junior to get health advice.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
He's not a good person. I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Hannah Anderson, a former Deputy chief of Staff for Policy
at the Department of Health and Human Services reportedly backed
into RFK Junior's vehicle before being dismissed back in July.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
She was so up they say.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
An RFK Junior aide was so upset about her firing
that she accidentally crashed her car as she left work
into RFK Junior's vehicle. And I don't know if any
of that's true. It's in the Independent today. It's a
news story. It's kind of funny, but I do know
that Breitbart dot com is reporting the same former Center
for Disease Control executives who forced two year olds to
wear masks, who hired literal Satanists, who closed our churches
(03:46):
and synagogues. But okay, Black Lives Matter gatherings are big
mad that Health and Human Services Director RFK Jr. Is
doing what he promised to do. He's reforming a public
health institution. Normal people no longer have any faith in.
Nine former directors and acting directors of the CDC got together,
(04:08):
hopefully they were all masked and remained six feet apart
to cry about Bobby Kennedy Junior in the far left
New York Times. I'm gonna bet you didn't read the
article so I'll just tell you a little what was
in there. It's best to read their opening paragraph using
the voice of Thurston Howell, the third So that's what
I'm going to try to do here.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
As close as I can. I'm just gonna be terrible
right now, but I'll just do the voice for you.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
We have each had the honor and privilege of serving
as Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,
either in a permanent or acting capacity, dating back to
nineteen seventy seven. Collectively, we spent more than one hundred
years working at the CDC, the world's pre eminent public
health agency. We served under multiple Republican and Democratic administrations,
(04:56):
every president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump, alongside thousands
of dedicated staff members who shared our commitment to saving
lives and improving.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Health hmm man alive.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Imagine looking at the state of federal health care today
and having the self regard to say out loud quote
we have had. We have each had the honor and
privilege of serving as the Director of the Center for
Disease Control. As though that was a good thing. The
nine authors of an article. Nine authors of one article
are very angry The Kennedy fired thousands of bureaucrats. The
(05:36):
Kennedy questions vaccines, The Kennedy's looking into alternative treatments. The
Kennedy replaced the staff on advisory committees. And this one's
my favorite quote. Champion federal legislation that will cause millions
of people with health insurance through Medicaid to lose their coverage.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm sorry millions of people.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I think what you mean is people that could have
afforded to pay for their own healthcare will suddenly have
to do exactly that. I don't want to have to
pay for their healthcare. Why can't they do it? And
here's the thing that's really pissing them off, the fact
that Bobby Kennedy's backing the removal of illegal aliens and
those physically and mentally capable of working from the dole.
(06:14):
The Nine opposed that. What more must you know about
the nine? As far as the Nine's introspection, here's all
of it. They say in the article, they say the
CDC is not perfect. Yeah, we know you hacks outlawed
going to church, but you left the liquor stores open,
(06:35):
you closed our schools, and you forced little kids who
had nothing more to fear from COVID than they did
from the flu, to wear masks and do online learning,
and you tried to force them all to get a vaccine.
You say this claim to look out for our health,
but you closed the gyms. You demanded we stay home
and watch Netflix and eat door Dash. You tried to
(06:57):
bribe us with beer, marijuana and Chris be Cream donuts
to go out and get an experimental vaccine. You pretended
masks would stop a microscopic virus. You pretended that being
five feet apart was death, but six feet apart was
perfectly safe. You closed and disrupted small businesses, many of
(07:19):
them went bankrupt. You made heroes out of the big
box chains. You told us hospitals were overrun, even as
dozens of healthcare workers found time to make dance videos.
You lied, and you told us the COVID vaccine would
stop the spread. You said nothing, as healthy people with
almost nothing to fear were fired for refusing the vaccine.
(07:43):
You lied about the lab leaks you censored, and you
blacklisted anyone who dared raise questions. You robbed an entire
generation of homecomings and proms and football games and the
vital socialization that comes with seeing another person's face. You
filled skate parks with sand, You arrested people for going
(08:05):
to the beach. You outlawed concerts. You said that Donald
Trump's reelection rallies were super spreader events. Then you said
it was safe to go to Black Lives Matter riots.
Because all of that, because of you, you exposed your
Satanist Stalinist agenda to control every part of public life. Because,
(08:29):
as this New York Times editorial perfectly illustrates, you have
undoubtedly enforced decades of a disturbing we all think alike
cult in the CDC, and a lot of people you'res
truly right here on this radio show, have been radicalized
like never before in Stan firmly behind RFK Junior, who,
unlike you psychopaths, is willing to risk his status to
(08:50):
do the bare minimum true science requires, which is ask questions,
challenge assumptions, test, test, test, and above all, understand that
the most anti statement of all is that the science
is settled.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, ah, let's get straight to discussion.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Be here to talk about something politics and government and
nalls hitting code Dutch in this show.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Hit ain't you ever Bache this podcast. You gotta get it,
you ton Dad, we can this this What's.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Happiness Doctors have released a list of ten organs you
can live without. I guess you could make it eleven
if you went to Comic Con this year, since you're
probably not gonna need that organ. Hi, everybody, welcome back
for break. I'm Kenny Webster. It's a great pity to
be here with you. It's nice to be back to
work today. And as I get back in the routine
(09:44):
of things, I can't help but notice some of the
major players are all gathering together in China right now.
Very rarely does Kim Jong un Lil Kim leave North Korea.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It almost never happens.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
The most important ally to the North Koreans is China,
as they say, the Chinese Communist Party, and weirdly, he
hasn't even met with them in six years now. A
lot's changed over the last several years. As important as
China is to North Korea, Russia has maybe arguably become
even more important. Russia and North Korea are major trade partners,
(10:18):
and you're probably wondering what does North Korea have to
offer Russia. Well, it turns out it's mercenaries. North Korea
sends soldiers to the front lines of Russia to fight
in the war over there. By the way, A little
side note here, I just got back from the Burning
Man music Festival. You know what I encountered over and
over again while I was there, young men of fighting
(10:38):
age from Russia, Ukraine and Israel all over just tons
of them. I constantly kept meeting them all over the place,
Guys in their mid twenties, early thirties.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Whatever it may be, weird.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I'm surprised Olenski and Putin they let you leave the
country to go to the Burning Man Festival.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I was surprised by that. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Putin doesn't know, I guess because he's in China right
now meeting with Kim Jong un and Jijinpang, And boy,
could you imagine the fun they must be having. I
don't suppose it's anything like Burning Man. I doubt they're
doing Mollie, but they might be drinking the blood of
their enemies.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Who knows.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
One thing they will be doing is discussing energy policy.
That is a big damn deal to them right now.
Powerthefuture dot com reporting that as Donald Trump is making
deals to sell the European Union American Energy. Russia has
turned to CCP. They're planning to build a pipeline through Mongolia.
Here with all the latest on this is Daniel Turner
(11:32):
joining us right now. Daniel, should we be worried about this?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well, not worried like this shouldn't keep you up at night.
And these are just energy deals. But for your listeners
who are oil and gas savvy, and Texas especially Houston
is oil and gas capital of the world, it shows
the importance of their industry and it shows the importance
(11:57):
energy is everything. I talk about it a lot, and
I usually talk about it in relation to human dignity
and the many products that we get from fossil fuels
and the autonomy it gives us and the health and
hygiene et cetera, et cetera. All very true. But energy
is also national security because the whole world needs energy
and not everybody has it. And it raises a lot
(12:19):
of questions, right, it raises questions of Russia's looking to
still have markets. Trump is trying to take all of
their European customers. I don't know why Biden didn't, right,
but Trump is trying to take all the European customers
to buy American energy, Texas energy and not buy Russian energy.
And Russia is going to give it to someone else
that they're going to give it to China, and that's
(12:39):
going to strengthen their relationship. And these are two countries
that really don't like US. China hates US, Russia mildly
dislikes US, but isn't our friend by any means. But combined,
talk about the access of evil again, right, these are
two countries that want to see America defeat it. So
it shouldn't worry you. But it shows the importance of
(13:02):
energy from a geopolitical perspective.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Okay, Obviously, if it wasn't for energy policy, the Russian
Ukraine war wouldn't be happening. If it wasn't for sanctions
being placed on and then removed from the Nord Stream pipeline,
I would argue Russia would not have had the monetary
influence to go and attack Ukraine the way that they did. Obviously,
the war happening in Israel will not quite the same thing.
Is certainly influenced by energy policy. So that's true. And
(13:26):
to your other point, Putin and everybody in the world
stage claims Russia is not a communist country, but they're
political leader was a member of that.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Wasn't he a member of the what was it, the
k KGB.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, Putin may not call himself a communist, then he
would probably say that, no, I w're democracy. I win
ninety seven percent of all the electoral ballasts. But Putin
is a communist. He's old line Soviet and he's made
no bones about it that his goal is tonite, reunite
all of the Soviet countries back into one big mother Russia.
(14:03):
It explains his war on Ukraine and why he chose
Ukraine first. He wants all the countries back. So, yeah,
you know, energy is clutch for Russia to succeed. They
are a petro state. Texas isn't even a petro state.
Oil and gas is critical to your state's economy, don't
(14:23):
get me wrong, but it is not the only thing.
I don't even think it's fifty percent of your state's economy,
because that's the joys of capitalism. You have a diversified economy.
Russia is not that. If Russia loses oil and gas,
what else are they gonna I mean, how much caviat
and vodka can you sell to conquer the world? Right?
(14:44):
So Trump is right to make sure that the world
is not buying Russian energy, that they're buying American energy.
But Kenny, I got to say, don't you think some
of these Biden administration officials should be hauled before a
judiciary tribunal and say what the hell was your reasoning
banning natural gas exports? Like, walk us through your logic. Hey,
(15:07):
Russia's bad, Russia's economy is fueled by natural gas. You
shouldn't buy Russian natural gas. So therefore, as a result,
we're going to ban the sale of American natural gas.
How do you deduce that with a logical, consistent philosophy.
You don't, And that goes to show you the level
(15:27):
of corruption and vile people who are in the Biden administration.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
It's interesting too that North Korea is part of this
summit right now happening in China, because that's probably the
only country on Earth that we're enemies with that doesn't
make significant money from oil and gas. I mean, obviously
Russia and China. Obviously petro states petro petroleum products coming
out of both of those countries. Venezuela, Iran, which begs
the question is it possible that now that they're close allies,
(15:55):
or have been close allies, Russia now needs to keep
this war going with Ukraine or to make North Korea
happy because North korea is chief export at the moment
seems to be mercenaries.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, that's a great point, and and you know, the
North Korea doesn't have a lot going for it. There's
been a big push by by by Kim to open tourism,
but everyone knows that's a joke. Right. He's built these
hotels on the water and says, come to the Korean beaches,
But who the hell is going to go on vacation?
I don't know. You went to Burning Man, right, do
you do you want to go? Do you want to
(16:27):
go to the North Korea next? You were probably safer
it Burning Man than you would ever be in North
and North Korea. So, yeah, what is their export? Their
export is is mercenaries war weapons there they are very
good at that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's one of those fascinating questions I'll have for our
creator if I'm lucky enough to meet him. Why some
of the world's worst actors have all the energy Russia does,
North Korea does. I'm sorry, Venezuela does Iran? Does you know?
Most of them Arab nations don't like us very much?
They do. There really aren't a lot of countries who
(17:04):
are oil and gas rich. Who are the good guys?
I like to think we're always the good guys. I
know some people would say, well, maybe we're the bad guys,
but I don't play that sort of anti American sentiment.
We're the good guys and we have a lot of it.
But a lot of bad guys have a lot of
energy and it makes them rich and it gives them leverage. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I don't know what this means, but I looked it
up on I was curious. What is North Korea's chief export?
And obviously mercenaries plays a role, especially lately coal iron,
that's part of it. But oddly enough, Daniel, one of
their biggest export is fake hair products wigs, false eyebrows
accounted for over half of their exports to China in
twenty twenty three. What a weird thing. And I got
(17:46):
to ask, I wonder where they're getting the fake hair from.
Wink wink.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, you know how they must be torturing their citizens
and shaving them to make the Chinese, you know, little
fun things for their Hello Kitty dolls. You know, China
is not our friend. North Korea is not our friend.
Russia is not our friend. And I'll never understand how
we looked at those countries, not the same way that
Reagan looked at the Soviet Union and said, these guys
(18:13):
want to destroy us, so we are going to have
nothing to do with them. We didn't trade with. We
didn't say Russia hates us and and Brezhnev has all
these nukes pointed at us, but they make really good,
cheap craps. So we're going to continue to We do
that with China, right, We trade with We trade with
these countries who absolutely despise us, and I'll never quite
(18:34):
understand it. There is still, to this day a lot
of people on Capitol Hill who will defend China and
talk about how great they are as a country, and
they'll go on trade missions to China and say that,
you know, thank goodness for the Chinese work ethic. And
they are economists like Paul Krugman and Thomas Friedman who
praised China and how great they are in the world.
(18:55):
China is an evil, evil country that should be destroyed,
and if we really wanted to win this war, we
would just stop at importing anything from China starting tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, I mean Mitch McConnell, for example, He's married to
a woman who has deep ties to Chinese industry, and
didn't his own sister in law not long ago die
under mysterious circumstances. Another person connected to the Chinese business
world who supposedly drove her tesla into a pond and
died mysteriously.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Something was odd about that. I don't want to, you know,
speak ill of the dead or cause pain to a
family who's grieving. Sure, but it is not common for
people to drive their car into a pond on their
own property and just call it an accident, right, Like
I have a pond on my property and I have
driven my truck near it, but I haven't driven my
(19:48):
truck into it and drowned yet. So maybe she was
at burning Man too, Kenny. I don't know, but yeah,
something was very fishy about that.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
In't that weird?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Everybody fishy pun intended, But in't that the oddest thing?
When it happened, everybody thought, oh, that's weird. And then,
just like Epstein and so many other things. If nobody
has anything to gain from it politically, we all forget
that it happened that woman died.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Look, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I am a conspiracy realist,
and I speculate something weird happen there. Daniel Turner Powerthefuture
dot com is the website. If you work in oil
and gas, I encourage you to check it out.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I feel never listening to you all again.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
But Suit of Happiness Radio, the CEO of Nesley has
been fired for having an affair with a subordinate. He
thought for sure he could keep that a secret by
avoiding Coldplay concerts, but I guess he was wrong. Hi, everybody,
welcome back. Coming up in just a little bit Ethan
Buchanan stopping by. He is the host of the Next
(20:53):
Gen Report. We're going to talk about how a lot
of young Christians are responding to news that a Catholic
school was shot up last week by a transgender I mean,
purportedly a transgender shooter. But we'll get to all that
real soon. In the meantime, I couldn't help it. Notice,
Governor Abbott has just signed the big, beautiful Texas Congressional
map into law.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
This is now a thing.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
And meantime, in California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, of all people, he's
trying to stop the California governor from doing the equivalent
out in that state. I don't know if it's going
to work, but I do have all the latest from
here in the Lone Star State, courtesy of our boy
Brandon Waltons Brandon. Anything here people would be surprised.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
By, well, I think, you know, people might be surprised
to know even right now that the legislature is still
meeting despite the fact of those maps have passed. I mean,
that was really grabbing attention right in the national news
over the last month. Those maps are you know, not
only have they been passed up by the legislature, but
the governor actually signed them last week and the special
(21:55):
session is still moving along in its final days this week.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
All right, So then the rule the news is that
Texas Congressional District nine here in the Houston area is
going to be a very full field. Dwayne Stowell is
supposedly running Alex Mieler, the former Parris County judge candidate
stay Representative Briscokine. That is going to be a packed
house of candidates, is ye, well, that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You know, it's a little bit unsurprising to see that
whenever one of these new districts comes in, you tend
to get a pretty big field. I mean, these Congression races,
whenever they're open, tend to attract a really large field. Anyway,
we see this happen during sort of years wherever new
congressional districts are created or whatever. People retire, and so
(22:38):
whether it's CD nine or some of these other newly
drawn Republican districts across the state, I think we're going
to see a lot of candidates jumped in, which has
a lot of ripple effects for state legislature and other
offices as well. I mean, you mentioned, you know, for example,
Representative Briscoe Caine is running for Congress, it means he
can't run for Texas House, so there's going to be
(22:59):
a race for a place him and so you've got
a little bit of the domino effect there.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Okay, So with all that taking place right now in
the Texas House, the taxpayer funded lobbying ban is dead.
What happened? I thought this was a popular thing. Why
why can Republicans not get this passed? Why do taxpayers
have to pay lobbyists?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah? I mean this is crazy because you know, Ken King,
who is a state representative from West Texas, chairs the
House State Affairs Committee, which is one of the most
powerful committees, and it's the committee that a taxpayer funding,
taxpayer funded lobbing ban has been sent to. He killed
it during the regular session, didn't give it a hearing.
(23:42):
Once again, the bill was sent to his committee during
the special session, and surprise, surprise, he hasn't given it
a hearing. With the session looking to probably end tomorrow,
doesn't look very likely now that that's going to move through,
despite the fact that you have I think over seventy
Republicans that have signed on as co authors to this,
the fact that it's passed the Senate moremultiple times, and
just so people can get an idea. I mean, this
(24:03):
is in twenty twenty five. You've got nearly one hundred
million dollars that are have been spent on taxpayer funded lobbying.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
You know, city council, school boards, et cetera. Hiring lobbyists
to go down to Austin to go lobby in many
cases against the interests of the taxpayers. This is a
priority of the Republican Party of Texas at something conservatives
have been fighting for for a long time, and unfortunately
it looks like it's going to be a casualty right
now of the special session.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
And of course Ken King is the state representative from
House District eighty eight. Was he one of the impeach
Ken Paxton guys?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Ken King, Yes, certainly, of course he was.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Okay, just want to make sure, yes, you forget who
these people are.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Sometimes.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Let's see, let's move around the stage just a little
bit here here in our own city, Harris County, boy,
we have a two hundred and twenty million dollar budget deficit,
but somehow we were able to come up with almost
a half a million dollars for the Gay Saw Softball
World Series. It sounds so silly and ridiculous, you'd think
it was the Babylon b But apparently texascorecard dot Com
(25:07):
has the story.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Say it ain't so Brandon, Yes, you know, and what's
what's half a million dollars? You know, whenever you're facing
a budget deficit like Harris County is, you know, to
attract a world you know, a world class event like
the gay Softball World Series. I mean, this is you
know this, it sounds so silly. It would be funnier
if it wasn't so sad. And the fact that, you know,
(25:30):
the county budget we've talked before certainly has a lot
of issues already. Parody's already looking at the deficit and
bigger spending, and it's always talking about can we need
to find places to cut And yet they go and
they vote nearly and interestly to approve this this funding
for what I think is you know, a pretty silly event.
(25:52):
I think most people would probably agree it's not like
this is the super Bowl or something. And even then
people you know, would would argue whether or not that's
really a proper role of government to be spending money
to attract events like that. And so this is you
know this unfortunately, just the latest that we've seen from
Harris County.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, who, no one's going to attend this. It doesn't
bring in money for the county. What's the point of it?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, well, I say, you, oh, this will pay for
itself that you know, with the amount of business that
this will drum up. I have a very hard time
believing that those numbers will really stan it out.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I don't believe it either.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
All Right, coming up in a couple of weeks here
September nineteenth through the twentieth, I will be one of
the people speaking at the Texas Youth Summit, along with
people like Congressman Wesley Hunt, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Senator
Ted Cruz, and very often in attendance is State Senator
Brandon Crichton. But apparently I don't I don't even know
if he's on the schedule for this year or not.
(26:51):
I've just learned that he has now been positioned to
become the Texas Tech Chancellor. The law natemaker will now
be told with implementing all law that he wrote.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
What's all this about?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, this game is a little bit of a surprise.
Brandon Creighton's been a Conservative senator in the Texas Senate
and he's helmed for the last few years the Education
Committee over in the Senate overseeing higher education in K
through twelve as well. It just was officially confirmed over
the weekend that he's going to be the next chancellor
(27:24):
for Texas Tech University, and so I think this is
a good sign for Texas Tech. I think that Brandon
Creighton someone who has demonstrated a willingness to put in
more accountability measures for Texas University, that he's certainly been
a champion of that in the legislature. So I think
it bodes well for Texas Tech in that sense. And
(27:44):
then you know, obviously this is going to open up
now an open seat in the Texas Senate for someone
to replace him there, and hopefully the Texas Senate will
be able to continue some of the work that he's
done on reforming higher education.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
All right, yeah, I'm back to the state capital. There
are now more than eight hundred new laws taking effect
in Texas today today, well, I mean yesterday technically, but
today obviously it's the beginning of a new month. What
are some of these laws? School choice, I guess, bail reform.
What are the big changes?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, school choice, bail reform, these are ones that were
getting a lot of attention, but there's also a ton
of these I think folks might have missed. For example,
you've got new legislation dealing with making Texas Healthy again,
which puts in more you know, education programs into schools.
It prohibits the purchase of candy and soda with snap
you know, food stamp benefits, which is certainly something good.
(28:40):
Protecting Texas land from foreign ownership, hostile foreign ownership, something
that's been a priority of Republicans for a while that
was passed during the session this year that's going into effect.
And then you know, I think another one of these
important laws to note is banning taxpayer funded a board
should travel. You've had cities like Austin and San Antonio particular,
(29:03):
that have you know, because abortions illegal in Texas, they've
used taxpayer dollars to fund organizations that will send people
out of state, hook them up with hotels and flights
to go get abortions out of state that will no
longer be legal or is no longer legal now that
we've passed to September one. But yeah, there's over eight
hundred of these new laws, and so folks won't want
(29:25):
to brush through and make sure they're up to date.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
All right, Let's do one more story real quick. Hayes County, Texas,
if I'm not mistaken, that is about three hours from
the Houston area, just a little southeast of all. It's
kind of that area in between Austin and San Antonio.
If I'm not mistaken, State Commission reprimanding the former Hayes
County judge.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
What happened over there?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Well, she's been publicly admonished by the State Commission on
Judicial Conduct, which oversees county judges and other judges, but
specifically for hostile behavior wall and office US. It's sort
of interesting she's accused of creating a hostile work environment.
She eventually resigned. She was elected as a Democrat there
in Hayes County. But now you've got this latest shoe
(30:14):
dropping from the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, and hopefully
we won't see her return to office anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Brandon has always fantastic work at Texas scorecard dot com,
a news outlet that I think is the conservative equivalent
of the Houston Chronicle or the Dallas Morning News. I
mean that has no insult, but apparently you guys don't
charge as much as them.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, it's all free. We of course take donations, but
all of it's available at Texas scorecard dot com.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I love it. Brandon Walton's follow him on x.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Ken Webster's Pursuit of Happiness, a radio show that's just
as good when you're driving around Soba as it is
when you're drunk at home.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
The world's largest gathering of redheads took place in the
Netherlands over the weekend. Ik it's We're pricey. That cost
a lot of ginger bread. Hi, everybody, welcome back? Still
one more to go. I mean a lot happens when
you take off work for a week. I guess I
shouldn't be surprised by that. But another transgender mass shooting, boy,
I wouldn't have guessed it. Well, Okay, maybe it was
(31:15):
a little more predictable than not. Minneapolis, Minnesota, August twenty seventh,
two children killed, seventeen injured at a Catholic school. Obviously,
I take this very personally.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I don't like it. Pisses me off.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Not the first time that's happened recently, Colorado Springs a
couple years back. You may recall another transgender shooter non
binary identity claim of the person accused of injuring nineteen
and killing five people at Club Q in LGBTQ Plus
Club and Oh Nashville twenty twenty three, same thing, twenty
(31:49):
eight year old former student of a Christian school went crazy.
I decided to start killing people. A confirmed transgender perpetrator
in The Violence Project's database of mass shootings, and Denver,
Colorado had one of these. May seventh, twenty nineteen. There's
a lot of these keep popping up. Aberdeen, Maryland, September twentieth,
(32:10):
twenty eighteen. That's just several in the past few years here.
I know, I'm sure there's plenty of mass shootings they
were not perpetrated by transgender people. But with all this
taking place right now, is a good reminder, folks. Every
time something like this happens, they come for your weapons.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
And you know why.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
They want you to be vulnerable. They want you to
be weak. They want you to depend on the government.
Look what's going on in Europe right now. Look what's
going on in places like England, Scotland and Ireland where
they're being mass invaded by foreigners. If these immigrants coming
from foreign countries are so great to the host country,
I've got to ask, why is the country that they're
(32:47):
leaving so terrible. Shouldn't that country have been great? I mean,
after all, they were there right now, there's a reason why.
What's happening right now in England and Scotland and Ireland,
isn't happening here in the United States.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
It's because we have guns.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
You may have seen not long ago a video of
a little girl I believe in Scotland protecting her sister
from what was described on social media different varias independent
journalists as a rape gang, protecting her sister with an
axe and a knife, and she was videotape doing this
very large men. They arrested this twelve year old girl
because you're not supposed to have a knife or an
(33:20):
axe in Scotland, although in this case I got to
think that weapon was the great equalizer.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
That girl was not the aggressor.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
She was clearly defending her family and they arrest If
you haven't seen the video on social media, it's pretty infuriating.
You have a god given right to express yourself, and
you have a god given right to defend yourself. The
government doesn't grant you those rights. They may protect those rights,
they may help defend those rights, but they don't grant
you those rights, those grants, those rights are granted to
(33:47):
you by your creator and your creator alone. As a Catholic,
I take this quite personally. You take it very seriously,
and I know this is an issue that seems to
resonate among our listeners, even among our staff members here
at KPRCRADI. One of our youngest talk show hosts in
the history of right wing talk radio is actually here
with me in the studio right now, mister Ethan Buchanan,
(34:09):
host of a Sunday night show, The Zoomer Report.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Close the next General Report. Although I did have somebody
call me out on Twitter because the intro tagline is
not Dad's talk Radio, and he says, well, I'll listen anyway.
He's an older gentleman. I want to say it's open
to everybody. All right, we will not check your age
at the front door.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Please tune in and listen.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
It's relevant to everybody, just especially young people.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Last week I was hanging out with a lot of
people in your generation. That's a mistake. Well, I had
a good time.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
They say, you guys lean more conservative than us millennials
or older generations, but you as a Zoomer, Yeah, you're
obviously on the right, and here I would say you're
on the center. I don't find you to be that
far to the right, although I'm sure somebody would. I
was at the burning Man Music Festival last week. I've
told this story on the radio already, and as I
was walking around at the festival, more than once a
person came up to talk to me and they put
(34:59):
their hand over the cross necklace that I have on
my chest, because at burning Man Festival is something of
a pagan, ritualistic event.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
They don't like encounter in Christianity. No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Everybody there, obviously, there's over one hundred thousand people. But
you and I as Christians, we kind of are the
counterculture now, aren't we.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Even Yeah, we very much are, and I don't think
a lot of people recognize that.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
It's kind of.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Assumed that Christianity is the status quo, especially here in
the United States, but that's really not the case, especially
when you consider the fact that, you know, we had
to fight a legitimate Supreme Court legal battle several years
ago just to display the Ten Commandments on the grounds
of the Texas Capital, and we're now fighting a legal
(35:46):
battle right now just to display the Ten Commandments in
school classrooms here in Texas. And we used to be
the status quote Christianity in the United States. Everybody used
to understand that this tree has founded off of basic
Christian principles and values. Even if necessarily all the founding
(36:06):
fathers weren't practicing Christians, they all openly recognized the importance
of Christianity in the founding of the culture. John Adams,
I believe it was famously said, this system of government,
this constitution that we've given you, will only work for
a moral and religious people. It was commonplace and everybody
understood that. And then, you know, I think probably after
(36:29):
about nineteen forty six ish, we started taking that for
granted and then ignoring that, and then allowing the what
was then the counterculture of atheism to push its way
in and become mainstream. And now, yeah, Christianity is kind
of looked at as the outside, which I think is
good because people like an underdog, and that's funneling more
people into Christianity. The church as a whole historically does
(36:51):
really well when it's being persecuted. But yeah, we've gotten
to a point where we are the opposition now to
the mainstream.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I noticed this as well, and it's kind of amazing.
At a festival like Burning Man, where it's supposed to
be all about sharing and caring, and equality. Well, that's
all based off Christian principles. Thousands of years ago, that
stuff was unheard of. And then obviously this guy named
Jesus came along and he knocked over tables in a temple.
And you know, people always have this vision of Jesus
that he was this hippie, this free loving hippie, and
(37:22):
he wasn't necessarily he was actually a fighter. Yeah, despite
what some may believe. But all that being said, this
idea of sharing and caring and loving that's based off
Christian principles, just as the United States of America is
our country is based off that. It's freedom of religion,
it's not freedom from religion. There's nothing in the Constitution,
nothing in the Declaration of Independence that says it's illegal
(37:43):
to display the Ten Commandments. But with all that happening
right now, I've noticed people coming for our guns again.
You made a point to me off the air earlier
Ethan about Christians and how it's important.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
For us to remain armed. You want to pine about
that a little.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
It's that this is everywhere, by the way, people automatically
assume that the Christian response to everything, and this comes
from both sides, both like the atheistic left and even
the Christian right. The Christian right will throw up their
hands and say, oh, well, all we can do is pray,
And then the atheist will say, oh, well, you're praying,
isn't doing anything, ladie daddi da, We need to do
(38:19):
more than praying. And I would argue that the atheistic
left is actually more correct on this for the wrong reasons,
if that makes sense. So they say, oh, your praying
isn't doing enough.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
We need to take your guns.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
And the Christians was to say, and some Christians not
everybody's guilty of this obviously, but they'll say, oh, we
just need to put it all in God's hands. Well,
you know that famous Christian saying of faith without works
is like a screen door on a submarine. It's useless.
You know, we're called to have faith, so you know,
do things like pray, pray for safety, but also the
(38:53):
works that are demanded of you by Christ himself is
be armed and ready to defend yourself. He actually says
this Jesus does directly in the Book of Luke in
chapter twenty two, verse thirty six. He's telling his disciples to,
you know, go out and prosthetize, and as he says this,
one of the things he says is, you know, take
(39:14):
your money bag, take your knapsack, and you who I'm
paraphrasing here, but you who do not have a sword,
sell your cloak and buy one. That's one of the
things that he calls his disciples to have is a sword.
He's saying, be ready to defend yourself. Go out, make disciples,
spread Christianity. But we're not called to be helpless. We're
(39:37):
called to be ready to defend ourselves with weapons if necessary.
So yes, pray for safety, pray that you will never
have to use a weapon, but at the same time,
be ready to use one. Make sure your church has
armed security. Make sure your school has armed security. Be
the armed security your church. If you have to carry
a gun in church, you're allowed to do that. You're
(40:00):
called buych scripture to do it.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
My brother Ethan Buchanan, if people want to check out
your radio show or you're listening to your podcast, what

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Hey, woman gave birth at the Burning Man Festival last
week while I was there. She did not know she
was pregnant. There's no word on her name, but I
guarantee it's something stupid. Meanwhile, the festival has already set
up a special tense so people can worship the placenta.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's what they do.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Isn't that amazing? In the same weekend, burning Man had
a birth and a murder. But the most shocking thing
to win is that Burning Man is still soap. Nope,
you never see soap. Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster, Thanks
so much for joining us this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Lots of people here. Daniel Turner is going to be
here for Power the Future.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
We're going to take a deep dive into a political
summit happening right now in China with the Communist Party
leader along with Ladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong
Un of North Korea. Very rare moment where the leader
of the Hermit Kingdom is actually venturing outside of his
shell to go talk to other people. Also stopping by
this afternoon, Brandon Waltons will be here from texascorecard dot Com.
(01:14):
There are hundreds of new laws going into effect today
in the state of Texas. Well, technically they went into
effect yesterday for September. First, we'll let you know what
some of those new laws are. And before we're done,
Ethan Buchanan stopping by from Well. He's a twenty two
year old talk show host that can be heard every
Sunday evening here on your favorite radio station, and he's
(01:35):
reacting to news about how a lot of young Americans
are upset about the gun grabbers in the liberal media
trying to take away your Second Amendment rights. In the
wake of yet another transgender executed mass shooting, purportedly a
transgender activist, a transgender shooter supposedly is guilty. We don't
know if a person's actually guilty or not, but we
(01:57):
do know that all that taking place in Washington, DC
this week has caused quite a bit of uproar. When
RFK Junior, your Health Zar, is making a lot of
changes at the CDC, RFK Junior is endangering American's health,
according to former CDC bosses who just wrote a guest
essay at The New York Times. You remember back during
(02:18):
the Trump years? Nextcuse me during the Biden years.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I know.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I try to forget that about them as well. Do
you remember the monkey pox zar is there's a monkey
pox outbreak. Most of you probably didn't know what monkeypox
was until gay people started getting it while they were
attending orgies and going to bathhouses in Europe. And they
were coming home with monkey pox, and we didn't know
what it was either. And then a gay man got
(02:41):
a job at the CDC.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
He attends.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
He's a leather man who likes going to gay orgies,
but he is an authority on how to prevent monkey box.
He became the monkey pox Zar. Apparently him and many
others have written an article today for The New York
Times explaining how RFK Junior is bad for your health.
A guy who attends gay orgies is very concerned that
you shouldn't be listening to RFK Junior to get health advice.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
He's not a good person. I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Hannah Anderson, a former Deputy chief of Staff for Policy
at the Department of Health and Human Services reportedly backed
into RFK Junior's vehicle before being dismissed back in July.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
She was so up they say.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
An RFK Junior aide was so upset about her firing
that she accidentally crashed her car as she left work
into RFK Junior's vehicle. And I don't know if any
of that's true. It's in the Independent today. It's a
news story. It's kind of funny, but I do know
that Breitbart dot com is reporting the same former Center
for Disease Control executives who forced two year olds to
wear masks, who hired literal Satanists, who closed our churches
(03:46):
and synagogues. But okay, Black Lives Matter gatherings are big
mad that Health and Human Services Director RFK Jr. Is
doing what he promised to do. He's reforming a public
health institution. Normal people no longer have any faith in.
Nine former directors and acting directors of the CDC got together,
(04:08):
hopefully they were all masked and remained six feet apart
to cry about Bobby Kennedy Junior in the far left
New York Times. I'm gonna bet you didn't read the
article so I'll just tell you a little what was
in there. It's best to read their opening paragraph using
the voice of Thurston Howell, the third So that's what
I'm going to try to do here.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
As close as I can. I'm just gonna be terrible
right now, but I'll just do the voice for you.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
We have each had the honor and privilege of serving
as Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,
either in a permanent or acting capacity, dating back to
nineteen seventy seven. Collectively, we spent more than one hundred
years working at the CDC, the world's pre eminent public
health agency. We served under multiple Republican and Democratic administrations,
(04:56):
every president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump, alongside thousands
of dedicated staff members who shared our commitment to saving
lives and improving.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Health hmm man alive.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Imagine looking at the state of federal health care today
and having the self regard to say out loud quote
we have had. We have each had the honor and
privilege of serving as the Director of the Center for
Disease Control. As though that was a good thing. The
nine authors of an article. Nine authors of one article
are very angry The Kennedy fired thousands of bureaucrats. The
(05:36):
Kennedy questions vaccines, The Kennedy's looking into alternative treatments. The
Kennedy replaced the staff on advisory committees. And this one's
my favorite quote. Champion federal legislation that will cause millions
of people with health insurance through Medicaid to lose their coverage.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm sorry millions of people.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I think what you mean is people that could have
afforded to pay for their own healthcare will suddenly have
to do exactly that. I don't want to have to
pay for their healthcare. Why can't they do it? And
here's the thing that's really pissing them off, the fact
that Bobby Kennedy's backing the removal of illegal aliens and
those physically and mentally capable of working from the dole.
(06:14):
The Nine opposed that. What more must you know about
the nine? As far as the Nine's introspection, here's all
of it. They say in the article, they say the
CDC is not perfect. Yeah, we know you hacks outlawed
going to church, but you left the liquor stores open,
(06:35):
you closed our schools, and you forced little kids who
had nothing more to fear from COVID than they did
from the flu, to wear masks and do online learning,
and you tried to force them all to get a vaccine.
You say this claim to look out for our health,
but you closed the gyms. You demanded we stay home
and watch Netflix and eat door Dash. You tried to
(06:57):
bribe us with beer, marijuana and Chris be Cream donuts
to go out and get an experimental vaccine. You pretended
masks would stop a microscopic virus. You pretended that being
five feet apart was death, but six feet apart was
perfectly safe. You closed and disrupted small businesses, many of
(07:19):
them went bankrupt. You made heroes out of the big
box chains. You told us hospitals were overrun, even as
dozens of healthcare workers found time to make dance videos.
You lied, and you told us the COVID vaccine would
stop the spread. You said nothing, as healthy people with
almost nothing to fear were fired for refusing the vaccine.
(07:43):
You lied about the lab leaks you censored, and you
blacklisted anyone who dared raise questions. You robbed an entire
generation of homecomings and proms and football games and the
vital socialization that comes with seeing another person's face. You
filled skate parks with sand, You arrested people for going
(08:05):
to the beach. You outlawed concerts. You said that Donald
Trump's reelection rallies were super spreader events. Then you said
it was safe to go to Black Lives Matter riots.
Because all of that, because of you, you exposed your
Satanist Stalinist agenda to control every part of public life. Because,
(08:29):
as this New York Times editorial perfectly illustrates, you have
undoubtedly enforced decades of a disturbing we all think alike
cult in the CDC, and a lot of people you'res
truly right here on this radio show, have been radicalized
like never before in Stan firmly behind RFK Junior, who,
unlike you psychopaths, is willing to risk his status to
(08:50):
do the bare minimum true science requires, which is ask questions,
challenge assumptions, test, test, test, and above all, understand that
the most anti statement of all is that the science
is settled.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, ah, let's get straight to discussion.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Be here to talk about something politics and government and
nalls hitting code Dutch in this show.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Hit ain't you ever Bache this podcast. You gotta get it,
you ton Dad, we can this this What's.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Happiness Doctors have released a list of ten organs you
can live without. I guess you could make it eleven
if you went to Comic Con this year, since you're
probably not gonna need that organ. Hi, everybody, welcome back
for break. I'm Kenny Webster. It's a great pity to
be here with you. It's nice to be back to
work today. And as I get back in the routine
(09:44):
of things, I can't help but notice some of the
major players are all gathering together in China right now.
Very rarely does Kim Jong un Lil Kim leave North Korea.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It almost never happens.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
The most important ally to the North Koreans is China,
as they say, the Chinese Communist Party, and weirdly, he
hasn't even met with them in six years now. A
lot's changed over the last several years. As important as
China is to North Korea, Russia has maybe arguably become
even more important. Russia and North Korea are major trade partners,
(10:18):
and you're probably wondering what does North Korea have to
offer Russia. Well, it turns out it's mercenaries. North Korea
sends soldiers to the front lines of Russia to fight
in the war over there. By the way, A little
side note here, I just got back from the Burning
Man music Festival. You know what I encountered over and
over again while I was there, young men of fighting
(10:38):
age from Russia, Ukraine and Israel all over just tons
of them. I constantly kept meeting them all over the place,
Guys in their mid twenties, early thirties.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Whatever it may be, weird.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I'm surprised Olenski and Putin they let you leave the
country to go to the Burning Man Festival.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I was surprised by that. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Putin doesn't know, I guess because he's in China right
now meeting with Kim Jong un and Jijinpang, And boy,
could you imagine the fun they must be having. I
don't suppose it's anything like Burning Man. I doubt they're
doing Mollie, but they might be drinking the blood of
their enemies.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Who knows.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
One thing they will be doing is discussing energy policy.
That is a big damn deal to them right now.
Powerthefuture dot com reporting that as Donald Trump is making
deals to sell the European Union American Energy. Russia has
turned to CCP. They're planning to build a pipeline through Mongolia.
Here with all the latest on this is Daniel Turner
(11:32):
joining us right now. Daniel, should we be worried about this?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well, not worried like this shouldn't keep you up at night.
And these are just energy deals. But for your listeners
who are oil and gas savvy, and Texas especially Houston
is oil and gas capital of the world, it shows
the importance of their industry and it shows the importance
(11:57):
energy is everything. I talk about it a lot, and
I usually talk about it in relation to human dignity
and the many products that we get from fossil fuels
and the autonomy it gives us and the health and
hygiene et cetera, et cetera. All very true. But energy
is also national security because the whole world needs energy
and not everybody has it. And it raises a lot
(12:19):
of questions, right, it raises questions of Russia's looking to
still have markets. Trump is trying to take all of
their European customers. I don't know why Biden didn't, right,
but Trump is trying to take all the European customers
to buy American energy, Texas energy and not buy Russian energy.
And Russia is going to give it to someone else
that they're going to give it to China, and that's
(12:39):
going to strengthen their relationship. And these are two countries
that really don't like US. China hates US, Russia mildly
dislikes US, but isn't our friend by any means. But combined,
talk about the access of evil again, right, these are
two countries that want to see America defeat it. So
it shouldn't worry you. But it shows the importance of
(13:02):
energy from a geopolitical perspective.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Okay, Obviously, if it wasn't for energy policy, the Russian
Ukraine war wouldn't be happening. If it wasn't for sanctions
being placed on and then removed from the Nord Stream pipeline,
I would argue Russia would not have had the monetary
influence to go and attack Ukraine the way that they did. Obviously,
the war happening in Israel will not quite the same thing.
Is certainly influenced by energy policy. So that's true. And
(13:26):
to your other point, Putin and everybody in the world
stage claims Russia is not a communist country, but they're
political leader was a member of that.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Wasn't he a member of the what was it, the
k KGB.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, Putin may not call himself a communist, then he
would probably say that, no, I w're democracy. I win
ninety seven percent of all the electoral ballasts. But Putin
is a communist. He's old line Soviet and he's made
no bones about it that his goal is tonite, reunite
all of the Soviet countries back into one big mother Russia.
(14:03):
It explains his war on Ukraine and why he chose
Ukraine first. He wants all the countries back. So, yeah,
you know, energy is clutch for Russia to succeed. They
are a petro state. Texas isn't even a petro state.
Oil and gas is critical to your state's economy, don't
(14:23):
get me wrong, but it is not the only thing.
I don't even think it's fifty percent of your state's economy,
because that's the joys of capitalism. You have a diversified economy.
Russia is not that. If Russia loses oil and gas,
what else are they gonna I mean, how much caviat
and vodka can you sell to conquer the world? Right?
(14:44):
So Trump is right to make sure that the world
is not buying Russian energy, that they're buying American energy.
But Kenny, I got to say, don't you think some
of these Biden administration officials should be hauled before a
judiciary tribunal and say what the hell was your reasoning
banning natural gas exports? Like, walk us through your logic. Hey,
(15:07):
Russia's bad, Russia's economy is fueled by natural gas. You
shouldn't buy Russian natural gas. So therefore, as a result,
we're going to ban the sale of American natural gas.
How do you deduce that with a logical, consistent philosophy.
You don't, And that goes to show you the level
(15:27):
of corruption and vile people who are in the Biden administration.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
It's interesting too that North Korea is part of this
summit right now happening in China, because that's probably the
only country on Earth that we're enemies with that doesn't
make significant money from oil and gas. I mean, obviously
Russia and China. Obviously petro states petro petroleum products coming
out of both of those countries. Venezuela, Iran, which begs
the question is it possible that now that they're close allies,
(15:55):
or have been close allies, Russia now needs to keep
this war going with Ukraine or to make North Korea
happy because North korea is chief export at the moment
seems to be mercenaries.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, that's a great point, and and you know, the
North Korea doesn't have a lot going for it. There's
been a big push by by by Kim to open tourism,
but everyone knows that's a joke. Right. He's built these
hotels on the water and says, come to the Korean beaches,
But who the hell is going to go on vacation?
I don't know. You went to Burning Man, right, do
you do you want to go? Do you want to
(16:27):
go to the North Korea next? You were probably safer
it Burning Man than you would ever be in North
and North Korea. So, yeah, what is their export? Their
export is is mercenaries war weapons there they are very
good at that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's one of those fascinating questions I'll have for our
creator if I'm lucky enough to meet him. Why some
of the world's worst actors have all the energy Russia does,
North Korea does. I'm sorry, Venezuela does Iran? Does you know?
Most of them Arab nations don't like us very much?
They do. There really aren't a lot of countries who
(17:04):
are oil and gas rich. Who are the good guys?
I like to think we're always the good guys. I
know some people would say, well, maybe we're the bad guys,
but I don't play that sort of anti American sentiment.
We're the good guys and we have a lot of it.
But a lot of bad guys have a lot of
energy and it makes them rich and it gives them leverage. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I don't know what this means, but I looked it
up on I was curious. What is North Korea's chief export?
And obviously mercenaries plays a role, especially lately coal iron,
that's part of it. But oddly enough, Daniel, one of
their biggest export is fake hair products wigs, false eyebrows
accounted for over half of their exports to China in
twenty twenty three. What a weird thing. And I got
(17:46):
to ask, I wonder where they're getting the fake hair from.
Wink wink.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, you know how they must be torturing their citizens
and shaving them to make the Chinese, you know, little
fun things for their Hello Kitty dolls. You know, China
is not our friend. North Korea is not our friend.
Russia is not our friend. And I'll never understand how
we looked at those countries, not the same way that
Reagan looked at the Soviet Union and said, these guys
(18:13):
want to destroy us, so we are going to have
nothing to do with them. We didn't trade with. We
didn't say Russia hates us and and Brezhnev has all
these nukes pointed at us, but they make really good,
cheap craps. So we're going to continue to We do
that with China, right, We trade with We trade with
these countries who absolutely despise us, and I'll never quite
(18:34):
understand it. There is still, to this day a lot
of people on Capitol Hill who will defend China and
talk about how great they are as a country, and
they'll go on trade missions to China and say that,
you know, thank goodness for the Chinese work ethic. And
they are economists like Paul Krugman and Thomas Friedman who
praised China and how great they are in the world.
(18:55):
China is an evil, evil country that should be destroyed,
and if we really wanted to win this war, we
would just stop at importing anything from China starting tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, I mean Mitch McConnell, for example, He's married to
a woman who has deep ties to Chinese industry, and
didn't his own sister in law not long ago die
under mysterious circumstances. Another person connected to the Chinese business
world who supposedly drove her tesla into a pond and
died mysteriously.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Something was odd about that. I don't want to, you know,
speak ill of the dead or cause pain to a
family who's grieving. Sure, but it is not common for
people to drive their car into a pond on their
own property and just call it an accident, right, Like
I have a pond on my property and I have
driven my truck near it, but I haven't driven my
(19:48):
truck into it and drowned yet. So maybe she was
at burning Man too, Kenny. I don't know, but yeah,
something was very fishy about that.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
In't that weird?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Everybody fishy pun intended, But in't that the oddest thing?
When it happened, everybody thought, oh, that's weird. And then,
just like Epstein and so many other things. If nobody
has anything to gain from it politically, we all forget
that it happened that woman died.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Look, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I am a conspiracy realist,
and I speculate something weird happen there. Daniel Turner Powerthefuture
dot com is the website. If you work in oil
and gas, I encourage you to check it out.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I feel never listening to you all again.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
But Suit of Happiness Radio, the CEO of Nesley has
been fired for having an affair with a subordinate. He
thought for sure he could keep that a secret by
avoiding Coldplay concerts, but I guess he was wrong. Hi, everybody,
welcome back. Coming up in just a little bit Ethan
Buchanan stopping by. He is the host of the Next
(20:53):
Gen Report. We're going to talk about how a lot
of young Christians are responding to news that a Catholic
school was shot up last week by a transgender I mean,
purportedly a transgender shooter. But we'll get to all that
real soon. In the meantime, I couldn't help it. Notice,
Governor Abbott has just signed the big, beautiful Texas Congressional
map into law.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
This is now a thing.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
And meantime, in California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, of all people, he's
trying to stop the California governor from doing the equivalent
out in that state. I don't know if it's going
to work, but I do have all the latest from
here in the Lone Star State, courtesy of our boy
Brandon Waltons Brandon. Anything here people would be surprised.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
By, well, I think, you know, people might be surprised
to know even right now that the legislature is still
meeting despite the fact of those maps have passed. I mean,
that was really grabbing attention right in the national news
over the last month. Those maps are you know, not
only have they been passed up by the legislature, but
the governor actually signed them last week and the special
(21:55):
session is still moving along in its final days this week.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
All right, So then the rule the news is that
Texas Congressional District nine here in the Houston area is
going to be a very full field. Dwayne Stowell is
supposedly running Alex Mieler, the former Parris County judge candidate
stay Representative Briscokine. That is going to be a packed
house of candidates, is ye, well, that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You know, it's a little bit unsurprising to see that
whenever one of these new districts comes in, you tend
to get a pretty big field. I mean, these Congression races,
whenever they're open, tend to attract a really large field. Anyway,
we see this happen during sort of years wherever new
congressional districts are created or whatever. People retire, and so
(22:38):
whether it's CD nine or some of these other newly
drawn Republican districts across the state, I think we're going
to see a lot of candidates jumped in, which has
a lot of ripple effects for state legislature and other
offices as well. I mean, you mentioned, you know, for example,
Representative Briscoe Caine is running for Congress, it means he
can't run for Texas House, so there's going to be
(22:59):
a race for a place him and so you've got
a little bit of the domino effect there.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Okay, So with all that taking place right now in
the Texas House, the taxpayer funded lobbying ban is dead.
What happened? I thought this was a popular thing. Why
why can Republicans not get this passed? Why do taxpayers
have to pay lobbyists?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah? I mean this is crazy because you know, Ken King,
who is a state representative from West Texas, chairs the
House State Affairs Committee, which is one of the most
powerful committees, and it's the committee that a taxpayer funding,
taxpayer funded lobbing ban has been sent to. He killed
it during the regular session, didn't give it a hearing.
(23:42):
Once again, the bill was sent to his committee during
the special session, and surprise, surprise, he hasn't given it
a hearing. With the session looking to probably end tomorrow,
doesn't look very likely now that that's going to move through,
despite the fact that you have I think over seventy
Republicans that have signed on as co authors to this,
the fact that it's passed the Senate moremultiple times, and
just so people can get an idea. I mean, this
(24:03):
is in twenty twenty five. You've got nearly one hundred
million dollars that are have been spent on taxpayer funded lobbying.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
You know, city council, school boards, et cetera. Hiring lobbyists
to go down to Austin to go lobby in many
cases against the interests of the taxpayers. This is a
priority of the Republican Party of Texas at something conservatives
have been fighting for for a long time, and unfortunately
it looks like it's going to be a casualty right
now of the special session.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
And of course Ken King is the state representative from
House District eighty eight. Was he one of the impeach
Ken Paxton guys?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Ken King, Yes, certainly, of course he was.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Okay, just want to make sure, yes, you forget who
these people are.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Sometimes.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Let's see, let's move around the stage just a little
bit here here in our own city, Harris County, boy,
we have a two hundred and twenty million dollar budget deficit,
but somehow we were able to come up with almost
a half a million dollars for the Gay Saw Softball
World Series. It sounds so silly and ridiculous, you'd think
it was the Babylon b But apparently texascorecard dot Com
(25:07):
has the story.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Say it ain't so Brandon, Yes, you know, and what's
what's half a million dollars? You know, whenever you're facing
a budget deficit like Harris County is, you know, to
attract a world you know, a world class event like
the gay Softball World Series. I mean, this is you
know this, it sounds so silly. It would be funnier
if it wasn't so sad. And the fact that, you know,
(25:30):
the county budget we've talked before certainly has a lot
of issues already. Parody's already looking at the deficit and
bigger spending, and it's always talking about can we need
to find places to cut And yet they go and
they vote nearly and interestly to approve this this funding
for what I think is you know, a pretty silly event.
(25:52):
I think most people would probably agree it's not like
this is the super Bowl or something. And even then
people you know, would would argue whether or not that's
really a proper role of government to be spending money
to attract events like that. And so this is you
know this unfortunately, just the latest that we've seen from
Harris County.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, who, no one's going to attend this. It doesn't
bring in money for the county. What's the point of it?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, well, I say, you, oh, this will pay for
itself that you know, with the amount of business that
this will drum up. I have a very hard time
believing that those numbers will really stan it out.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I don't believe it either.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
All Right, coming up in a couple of weeks here
September nineteenth through the twentieth, I will be one of
the people speaking at the Texas Youth Summit, along with
people like Congressman Wesley Hunt, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Senator
Ted Cruz, and very often in attendance is State Senator
Brandon Crichton. But apparently I don't I don't even know
if he's on the schedule for this year or not.
(26:51):
I've just learned that he has now been positioned to
become the Texas Tech Chancellor. The law natemaker will now
be told with implementing all law that he wrote.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
What's all this about?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, this game is a little bit of a surprise.
Brandon Creighton's been a Conservative senator in the Texas Senate
and he's helmed for the last few years the Education
Committee over in the Senate overseeing higher education in K
through twelve as well. It just was officially confirmed over
the weekend that he's going to be the next chancellor
(27:24):
for Texas Tech University, and so I think this is
a good sign for Texas Tech. I think that Brandon
Creighton someone who has demonstrated a willingness to put in
more accountability measures for Texas University, that he's certainly been
a champion of that in the legislature. So I think
it bodes well for Texas Tech in that sense. And
(27:44):
then you know, obviously this is going to open up
now an open seat in the Texas Senate for someone
to replace him there, and hopefully the Texas Senate will
be able to continue some of the work that he's
done on reforming higher education.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
All right, yeah, I'm back to the state capital. There
are now more than eight hundred new laws taking effect
in Texas today today, well, I mean yesterday technically, but
today obviously it's the beginning of a new month. What
are some of these laws? School choice, I guess, bail reform.
What are the big changes?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, school choice, bail reform, these are ones that were
getting a lot of attention, but there's also a ton
of these I think folks might have missed. For example,
you've got new legislation dealing with making Texas Healthy again,
which puts in more you know, education programs into schools.
It prohibits the purchase of candy and soda with snap
you know, food stamp benefits, which is certainly something good.
(28:40):
Protecting Texas land from foreign ownership, hostile foreign ownership, something
that's been a priority of Republicans for a while that
was passed during the session this year that's going into effect.
And then you know, I think another one of these
important laws to note is banning taxpayer funded a board
should travel. You've had cities like Austin and San Antonio particular,
(29:03):
that have you know, because abortions illegal in Texas, they've
used taxpayer dollars to fund organizations that will send people
out of state, hook them up with hotels and flights
to go get abortions out of state that will no
longer be legal or is no longer legal now that
we've passed to September one. But yeah, there's over eight
hundred of these new laws, and so folks won't want
(29:25):
to brush through and make sure they're up to date.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
All right, Let's do one more story real quick. Hayes County, Texas,
if I'm not mistaken, that is about three hours from
the Houston area, just a little southeast of all. It's
kind of that area in between Austin and San Antonio.
If I'm not mistaken, State Commission reprimanding the former Hayes
County judge.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
What happened over there?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Well, she's been publicly admonished by the State Commission on
Judicial Conduct, which oversees county judges and other judges, but
specifically for hostile behavior wall and office US. It's sort
of interesting she's accused of creating a hostile work environment.
She eventually resigned. She was elected as a Democrat there
in Hayes County. But now you've got this latest shoe
(30:14):
dropping from the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, and hopefully
we won't see her return to office anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Brandon has always fantastic work at Texas scorecard dot com,
a news outlet that I think is the conservative equivalent
of the Houston Chronicle or the Dallas Morning News. I
mean that has no insult, but apparently you guys don't
charge as much as them.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, it's all free. We of course take donations, but
all of it's available at Texas scorecard dot com.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I love it. Brandon Walton's follow him on x.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Ken Webster's Pursuit of Happiness, a radio show that's just
as good when you're driving around Soba as it is
when you're drunk at home.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
The world's largest gathering of redheads took place in the
Netherlands over the weekend. Ik it's We're pricey. That cost
a lot of ginger bread. Hi, everybody, welcome back? Still
one more to go. I mean a lot happens when
you take off work for a week. I guess I
shouldn't be surprised by that. But another transgender mass shooting, boy,
I wouldn't have guessed it. Well, Okay, maybe it was
(31:15):
a little more predictable than not. Minneapolis, Minnesota, August twenty seventh,
two children killed, seventeen injured at a Catholic school. Obviously,
I take this very personally.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I don't like it. Pisses me off.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Not the first time that's happened recently, Colorado Springs a
couple years back. You may recall another transgender shooter non
binary identity claim of the person accused of injuring nineteen
and killing five people at Club Q in LGBTQ Plus
Club and Oh Nashville twenty twenty three, same thing, twenty
(31:49):
eight year old former student of a Christian school went crazy.
I decided to start killing people. A confirmed transgender perpetrator
in The Violence Project's database of mass shootings, and Denver,
Colorado had one of these. May seventh, twenty nineteen. There's
a lot of these keep popping up. Aberdeen, Maryland, September twentieth,
(32:10):
twenty eighteen. That's just several in the past few years here.
I know, I'm sure there's plenty of mass shootings they
were not perpetrated by transgender people. But with all this
taking place right now, is a good reminder, folks. Every
time something like this happens, they come for your weapons.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
And you know why.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
They want you to be vulnerable. They want you to
be weak. They want you to depend on the government.
Look what's going on in Europe right now. Look what's
going on in places like England, Scotland and Ireland where
they're being mass invaded by foreigners. If these immigrants coming
from foreign countries are so great to the host country,
I've got to ask, why is the country that they're
(32:47):
leaving so terrible. Shouldn't that country have been great? I mean,
after all, they were there right now, there's a reason why.
What's happening right now in England and Scotland and Ireland,
isn't happening here in the United States.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
It's because we have guns.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
You may have seen not long ago a video of
a little girl I believe in Scotland protecting her sister
from what was described on social media different varias independent
journalists as a rape gang, protecting her sister with an
axe and a knife, and she was videotape doing this
very large men. They arrested this twelve year old girl
because you're not supposed to have a knife or an
(33:20):
axe in Scotland, although in this case I got to
think that weapon was the great equalizer.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
That girl was not the aggressor.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
She was clearly defending her family and they arrest If
you haven't seen the video on social media, it's pretty infuriating.
You have a god given right to express yourself, and
you have a god given right to defend yourself. The
government doesn't grant you those rights. They may protect those rights,
they may help defend those rights, but they don't grant
you those rights, those grants, those rights are granted to
(33:47):
you by your creator and your creator alone. As a Catholic,
I take this quite personally. You take it very seriously,
and I know this is an issue that seems to
resonate among our listeners, even among our staff members here
at KPRCRADI. One of our youngest talk show hosts in
the history of right wing talk radio is actually here
with me in the studio right now, mister Ethan Buchanan,
(34:09):
host of a Sunday night show, The Zoomer Report.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Close the next General Report. Although I did have somebody
call me out on Twitter because the intro tagline is
not Dad's talk Radio, and he says, well, I'll listen anyway.
He's an older gentleman. I want to say it's open
to everybody. All right, we will not check your age
at the front door.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Please tune in and listen.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
It's relevant to everybody, just especially young people.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Last week I was hanging out with a lot of
people in your generation. That's a mistake. Well, I had
a good time.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
They say, you guys lean more conservative than us millennials
or older generations, but you as a Zoomer, Yeah, you're
obviously on the right, and here I would say you're
on the center. I don't find you to be that
far to the right, although I'm sure somebody would. I
was at the burning Man Music Festival last week. I've
told this story on the radio already, and as I
was walking around at the festival, more than once a
person came up to talk to me and they put
(34:59):
their hand over the cross necklace that I have on
my chest, because at burning Man Festival is something of
a pagan, ritualistic event.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
They don't like encounter in Christianity. No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Everybody there, obviously, there's over one hundred thousand people. But
you and I as Christians, we kind of are the
counterculture now, aren't we.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Even Yeah, we very much are, and I don't think
a lot of people recognize that.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
It's kind of.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Assumed that Christianity is the status quo, especially here in
the United States, but that's really not the case, especially
when you consider the fact that, you know, we had
to fight a legitimate Supreme Court legal battle several years
ago just to display the Ten Commandments on the grounds
of the Texas Capital, and we're now fighting a legal
(35:46):
battle right now just to display the Ten Commandments in
school classrooms here in Texas. And we used to be
the status quote Christianity in the United States. Everybody used
to understand that this tree has founded off of basic
Christian principles and values. Even if necessarily all the founding
(36:06):
fathers weren't practicing Christians, they all openly recognized the importance
of Christianity in the founding of the culture. John Adams,
I believe it was famously said, this system of government,
this constitution that we've given you, will only work for
a moral and religious people. It was commonplace and everybody
understood that. And then, you know, I think probably after
(36:29):
about nineteen forty six ish, we started taking that for
granted and then ignoring that, and then allowing the what
was then the counterculture of atheism to push its way
in and become mainstream. And now, yeah, Christianity is kind
of looked at as the outside, which I think is
good because people like an underdog, and that's funneling more
people into Christianity. The church as a whole historically does
(36:51):
really well when it's being persecuted. But yeah, we've gotten
to a point where we are the opposition now to
the mainstream.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I noticed this as well, and it's kind of amazing.
At a festival like Burning Man, where it's supposed to
be all about sharing and caring, and equality. Well, that's
all based off Christian principles. Thousands of years ago, that
stuff was unheard of. And then obviously this guy named
Jesus came along and he knocked over tables in a temple.
And you know, people always have this vision of Jesus
that he was this hippie, this free loving hippie, and
(37:22):
he wasn't necessarily he was actually a fighter. Yeah, despite
what some may believe. But all that being said, this
idea of sharing and caring and loving that's based off
Christian principles, just as the United States of America is
our country is based off that. It's freedom of religion,
it's not freedom from religion. There's nothing in the Constitution,
nothing in the Declaration of Independence that says it's illegal
(37:43):
to display the Ten Commandments. But with all that happening
right now, I've noticed people coming for our guns again.
You made a point to me off the air earlier
Ethan about Christians and how it's important.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
For us to remain armed. You want to pine about
that a little.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
It's that this is everywhere, by the way, people automatically
assume that the Christian response to everything, and this comes
from both sides, both like the atheistic left and even
the Christian right. The Christian right will throw up their
hands and say, oh, well, all we can do is pray,
And then the atheist will say, oh, well, you're praying,
isn't doing anything, ladie daddi da, We need to do
(38:19):
more than praying. And I would argue that the atheistic
left is actually more correct on this for the wrong reasons,
if that makes sense. So they say, oh, your praying
isn't doing enough.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
We need to take your guns.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
And the Christians was to say, and some Christians not
everybody's guilty of this obviously, but they'll say, oh, we
just need to put it all in God's hands. Well,
you know that famous Christian saying of faith without works
is like a screen door on a submarine. It's useless.
You know, we're called to have faith, so you know,
do things like pray, pray for safety, but also the
(38:53):
works that are demanded of you by Christ himself is
be armed and ready to defend yourself. He actually says
this Jesus does directly in the Book of Luke in
chapter twenty two, verse thirty six. He's telling his disciples to,
you know, go out and prosthetize, and as he says this,
one of the things he says is, you know, take
(39:14):
your money bag, take your knapsack, and you who I'm
paraphrasing here, but you who do not have a sword,
sell your cloak and buy one. That's one of the
things that he calls his disciples to have is a sword.
He's saying, be ready to defend yourself. Go out, make disciples,
spread Christianity. But we're not called to be helpless. We're
(39:37):
called to be ready to defend ourselves with weapons if necessary.
So yes, pray for safety, pray that you will never
have to use a weapon, but at the same time,
be ready to use one. Make sure your church has
armed security. Make sure your school has armed security. Be
the armed security your church. If you have to carry
a gun in church, you're allowed to do that. You're
(40:00):
called buych scripture to do it.
