Jack Gan, government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. The for Suit
of Happiness us on your radio to hel justice cheeseburgers
a liberty fries at SUDA happen us time.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
All right.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hurricane Milton is projected to make landfall in Florida in
the next twenty four hours. Milton is probably a good
reminder that hurricane season isn't over yet and we're running
out of good names for hurricanes. I gotta tell you,
I did not think that they would name a hurricane
after my French bulldog, but that's what they did. Hi,
I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks so much for joining us my
(00:46):
guest this afternoon on KPRC nine fifty.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Tune in for it. Daniel Turner is going to be
stopping by from Power the Future, and Brandon Waltons.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Will be here from Texas scorecard dot Com, two of
my favorite people to talk to on the radio, one
of them a journalist, the other author. They both write
things for a living, So I'm gonna make them talk
on the radio and we'll get to hear how funny
their voices sound. To stick around for that before we
get to any of that, why don't we start off
with this. Most of you probably realize at this point
that the hurricane is primarily affecting places around the country
(01:16):
where Trump voters live. And I'm not a conspiracy guy here,
but you can't, okay, I kind of am. You can't
help people from speculating. You can't blame people from speculating
that maybe part of the reason why things are so
bad right now is because they don't want you to vote,
or they want you to be so unhappy that you
won't vote. You know, twenty six of the twenty eight
(01:37):
counties that were affected by Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Trump won in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I know there are people out speculating right now that
the government can create weather and create hurricanes, and that's crazy,
that's stupid, you guys. Everyone knows that's not true. Hurricanes
exist because of cow farts. That's clearly what happens. So
stop with your crazy conspiracy theories. Let's all get back
to Planet Earth here for just a minute. But that
being said, for as long as I've been doing this
(02:06):
for a living, I'm not an old guy. I'm by
millennial standards quite old. I'm a wise, elder millennial. I'm
one of the older millennials. I remember Bill Clinton's cigar thing.
I remember when Kirk Cobain died, and when Tupac and
Biggie died, and so that's how old I am. But
even though I've been doing this for about two decades
at this point, it still amazes me covering political news
(02:29):
on talk radio.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
It still amazes me how much people lie. There are
so many lies happening all the time. Now.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
One of the things that's changed today versus a decade
or two ago is it's now a little bit easier
to catch people lying because now we've got Twitter and
sound bites and video. But social media, there's so many
different ways to figure out if you're being lied to,
so many ways, all the time, constantly. So why don't
we talk about that. Let's start the show here. You know,
it's Tuesday, you guys get that. It's we're two days
(02:57):
into the work week. And yet, somehow amazing, even though
we're only two days into the workweek, the Kamala for
President campaign and the Joe Biden presidential administration are already
contradicting each other multiple times. I could fill a whole
hour of talk radio up just playing sound bites of
them contradicting each other. But I won't bore you. We'll
(03:18):
just the meat and potatoes here, just the fat for
So let's start off with this one. By now, you
guys have probably already heard what I think is like
the most obvious lie of the day. She got caught
for this one right away. Kamala Harris said that Ron
DeSantis wouldn't take her phone calls, which is weird because
she never called him before, and also she's not president,
but even still, that's what she said.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So, you know, moments of crisis, if nothing else, should.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Really be the moment that anyone who calls himself a leader,
uh huh, says they're going to put politics aside as
the people first.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
People aren't desperately to support.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Right now, and playing political games at this moment, in
these priceless situations, these are.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Okay, okay, stop right there, she says. It's a serious time.
We can't be playing political games here, guys. Why is
Ron de Santis doing this? Why is Ron de Santis
being so political right now? She says, as she runs
for president and mixed cameo appearances on the call, her
Daddy podcast. You know, he's out handling multiple hurricanes in
(04:21):
his state right now, she's hanging out with the cackling
hens of the view. I'm pretty sure I know who's
playing politics and who's not. But even though still that's
what she said. So Ron de Santis got to respond
to it, and he wasn't having it.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Look in the mirror.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
We've been on an emergency footing for two weeks straight,
round the clock, twenty four to seven. We've been working
my office, our division of Emergency Management, helping people prepare
for Hurricane Helene, helping effectuate rescues of people after Hurricane Helene,
helping people pick up the pieces of their lives.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, it's really bad out there, guys, and they've we
got debris from the last storm all over the place,
basically acting like spears. When the next hurricane is about
to happen. DeSantis doesn't have time for this nonsense from Kamala.
I will say this, I'm glad that he's getting along
with Donald Trump again. I like to see the two
of those guys working well together. But as all this
(05:17):
has taken place, he said, she said, what's the real truth?
Here here comes sleepy Joe, Joe didn't know, or did he? No, no, no,
I'm sure he didn't know. Joe didn't know that Kamala
Harris was claiming to be a victim of Ron DeSantis
not taking a phone.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Call from her.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Now here's the actual president telling you earlier today as
reporters are screaming questions at him. No, no, actually, Ron
de Santis is a good guy. I've been communicating with
him regularly via cell phone.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he's
gotten all that he needs. And talked to him again
yesterday and I said whatever I said, No, you're doing
a great job. Is being all being done? Well, thank
you for and I literally gave my.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Personal phone number to call personal phone number.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
There was a rough start in some places.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But every I don't know where this theory is that
DeSantis isn't communicating with people. I don't know what woman
who's half black, half Native Indian, not Native American.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Where this whole crazy theory's coming from, says Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I think he does know. I think he knows that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I think he heard Kamalis say that, and I think
he's doing little subtle things here and there to try
to keep her from getting elected. It's just a theory
because if you were a dude who's been running for
president since the nineteen seventies, and he has been Remember
he dropped out what was it the late seventies, early eighties,
before I was born, before Kamal when Kamala Harris was
(06:48):
still a kid. Joe Biden had to drop out of
the presidential election because he got caught plagiarizing. Look that
one up, Phil, I mean, I'm sure a lot of
you have heard that story before. But it's a doozy.
It's a whip of a doozy. Here's a guy that's
been running for president for a long time, and all
of a sudden, right at the end of his life,
in the end of his career, the guy that made
(07:10):
him really famous, Barack Obama, all of his Hollywood buddies,
George Clooney, his right hand Gal Kamala Harris, suddenly start
stabbing him in the back like Julius Caesar on the
floor of the Senate. Oo too, Kamala. Yeah, imagine that
is Joe finally getting his revenge.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
The only thing that hurts more than paying taxes. Not
paying taxes, It's true Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Hey, your taxes, all right. I want to make a
point here. Today's Tuesday. That's the second day of the week. Right,
It's barely even Tuesday, right, We're halfway through the day here.
A lot of you, you know, some people get up
a little.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Later than others.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
A lot of you are just getting your day started.
It's not for me to judge. But the point is
it's only Tuesday. And amazingly, even though we're only a
couple days into the workweek, I did an administration and
the Kamala Harris for President campaign have already contradicted each
other multiple times, multiple times. I'll give you a couple
examples here. Here's an obvious one. Kamala says that Ron DeSantis,
(08:16):
the governor of Florida, won't take her phone calls, and
then he said out, well, that's confusing. I didn't even
know she was trying to get a hold of me.
But earlier today, Joe Biden, responding to a bunch of
screaming reporters trying to get him to attack Florida Governor
Ron de Santis, said the governor of Florida has been
very cooperative. This is an exact quote. He said, he's
(08:37):
gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday.
I said, a boy, I said, I know you're doing
a great job. It's being all being done. Well, you
know how, he yammers on. I'm reading a transcript. But
the point is they're communicating via cell phone. Said, we
communicate so much. Even gave him his cell phone. Wait,
that's not what Kamala said. Does Biden not know that
Kamala is out telling people that to say, okay, fine. Meanwhile,
(09:01):
this hurricane is obviously involved in every major political issue
right now. We were told by Mayorcis FEMA, the Federal
Emergency Management whatever it's called, they don't have any money.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We were told they don't have any money. They're not
prepared for the hurricane. That's what they said.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
Hold on, I do not have the funds. So FEMA
does not have the funds to make it through the season.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Guys, I didn't make that up. That's him talking. I didn't.
I didn't invent that. That's what he said.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Now, since then, a watchdog groups come out and said, actually, DHS,
FEMA's got about seventy billion dollars they're not telling you
about but you can't help. But notice we're sending all
this money overseas, and Trump points that out. So both
Kamala and koreinm Jean Pierre said, that's a lie being
spread by Trump. Well, he got that information from Mayorcis,
(09:52):
and in fact, it was Kamala who said the same day,
we're giving money to Lebanon. So we're paying Israel to
bomb Lebanon and then we're paying Lebanon to clean up afterwards.
But if you point that out, you're spreading right wing misinformation,
even though they're the ones that told us this. I
know it's a lot to unpack. That's why I invited
our next guest on today, Daniel Turner is here from
Powerthefuture dot com. Daniel, where do we even start with this?
(10:15):
DeSantis is communicating with Biden, Kamala says he's not. FEMA
says they don't have any money. Kamala says, that's a
lie being spread by Trump. What do you make of this? Again,
It's only Tuesday.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
It's only Tuesday, and I'm already exhausted.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Right.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
It just shows you when you have incompetent people, people
who are brilliant campaigners and they win elections, but they
do not know how to do their job. And right
now we need some big boys, right we need adults
to run things. And look, I'm not an anarchist. I
despise the size of our federal government. I get excited
about Elon Musk saying his task force will cut eighty
(10:54):
percent of it, right, but I'm not an anarchist. There
are certain roles of government and right now we need
government to do its job. And what we have, though,
are a bunch of amateurs. Joe Biden has never run anything.
I remember this guy has been a senator. Senators are
fairly useless. He's been a senator for fifty years, and
then as Vice president he did nothing other than cure cancer.
(11:16):
So he hasn't ever run anything. Now he's supposed to
run the country and he doesn't know how to do
the job. And we've seen it, we were living it.
Kamala doesn't know how to do anything. She's been again
a senator and a figurehead for her whole elected career. Heck,
she talks about being an attorney general and it's come
(11:39):
out she never even argued a case, so she's just
a figurehead. But we need people in charge, and we
don't have anyone in charge, and so we have chaos.
It's where the private sector is stepping up, and I
think that is sadly what our future will be if
Kamala is elected. I don't believe in civil war. I
don't think we're going to have that actually happen. What's
(12:00):
going to happen is private citizens are going to start
taking more roles and they're going to clash with government
that says you can't do that, kind of what we
saw in COVID. Right. You see these private citizens who
have helicopters who are saying I am flying into North
Carolina to bring water and Pete Buddha. Judge saying no,
you don't have authorization from the FAA, and the pilots
(12:24):
saying well watch me or try to stop me. That's
the chaos that's going to happen if Kamala wins, because
adults and men toxic masculinity ultimately are going to step
up and do their damn job because the government is
incapable of it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know, Daniel, I'm glad you brought that up because
it brings up another topic that I don't think is
being discussed enough. I'm an Ockham's razor guy. I think
the most likely explanations probably the truth. I tried not
to dabble too much in conspiracy theories, although in the
last few years a lot of conspiracy theories, especially when
it came to COVID, turned out to be true. So
when you look at the response to Hurricane Helene, right,
(13:00):
you got wacky people out there saying, Oh, it's weather
machines or whatever. It's like, all right, it's probably not
weather machines. Although, to be honest, the explanation that if
you eat bugs and have cowfarts, that that's causing or
preventing hurricanes, that's just as silly. But with all that
being said, I don't know what's causing the hurricanes. I
do know the federal government is, so they're so determined
(13:22):
to stop people from helping out people involved in the hurricane.
You almost wonder if they're trying to get this to
prevent people from voting. I mean, I know we're a
month out, but we have people calling us on the
radio from the Georgia Carolina line over there, state line
radio listeners telling us there are people trying to bring
aid into the state, food, bottled water. Have you heard this?
(13:45):
They're dumping out bottled water and gatorade. I couldn't believe it.
We started getting phone calls from listeners on our morning show.
More than one person called and told us this, And
if you hear it from multiple people, you start to
wonder if it's true.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
You know what I meanbsolutely, and this is just in
being competence of government. I hate to think that it
is a ploy to keep Republicans in North Carolina from voting.
It wouldn't surprise me, right, these are some evil people,
and politically motivated people can do some vicious things, So
(14:20):
I would hate to think that. Said, so, I'm just
going to take it off the table, just because I
want to believe we have some semblance of a moral
compass in this country. But a lot of what we're
seeing is the result of incompetence due to this administration's
push for diversity. Right, we didn't hire the most qualified
(14:41):
FEMA director. We hired a woman. Now, of course a
woman could be the most competent FEMA director, but she
wasn't hired because she was the most competent. She was
hired for her gender. Pete Buddha Judge was hired for
his sexual orientation. Of course, you can be gay and
be the most brilliant transportation logistics person in the world.
(15:03):
But that's not why he was hired. He was hired
for his diversity. And you've got this cross the government,
from our military to our federal agencies. And then when
again big boy moments step up and you have to
do your job, they're incapable of doing it, you know.
And heck I saw this morning the Jets fired their
(15:24):
head coach. How is that relevant because that's the private
sector in action. Hey buddy, look, we hired you to
be coached, paid your boatload of money. You're screwing up.
You're gone right, We'll find another coach. We don't fire
people in the government. Majorcas hasn't been fired, right, The
generals who were in charge of the Afghanistan, which we
are all han't been fired. Trump talks about her all
the time. No, that FEMA's gonna get fired. They're gonna
(15:46):
told you know what, there was some blame on all side.
Fauci was never fired. All the COVID people were never fired.
So this is what happens when government has too much
control and too much power and no accountability.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
All right, so Kamal is out interviews again. Politico dot
Com says the reason she's suddenly just suddenly so gung
ho about doing interviews is because her inside advisors are
telling her, maybe playing it safe isn't actually going to
work for you. You've got to go out and work
a little harder. You've got to do interviews. And so
she does. She does the the you know, the Call
Her Daddy podcast, and then Tim Walls does Jimmy Kimmel.
(16:22):
Like these aren't exactly challenging interviews. Kamala appears, Kamala appears
on the View, and on the View they ask her
the question here, I'll just play the sound bite for it.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Hold on, I'm playing too many sound bites some once here.
Pause that. Okay, she's on the View and she's asked.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than
President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Now remember that this is an audience of people staying
home watching TV, which means they're a very old or
be somebody's housewife. I got to think at least half
of that audience, Right, the elderly living on a fixed
income are probably not enjoying inflation right now, and they're
probably smart enough to know why it's happening. But do
they blame Joe get Do they hear Kamala say that
(17:10):
and then associate her with it?
Speaker 9 (17:13):
The effort of this entire campaign has been to distance
themselves from Biden, that Kamala is her own person, she's
got her own plan. The response to so many of
the things Tim Waltz said was, well, she's only the VP, right,
She's not the VP. Can't make decisions, it's the president.
So their whole campaign has been predicated on this belief
(17:36):
that Kamala is her own independent, brilliant mind, untethered from
Joe Biden, we will have a great America. And then
she just blew that up in half a second, giving
that answer. Right, she is not a brilliant mind. She's
completely the co pilot of this administration. And she would
have done it exactly the same way, which means she
(17:58):
will do it the same way if she's elected. And so,
if you like your high gas prices and your high
food prices, and your high mortgage rates and your war
around the world elect Kamala because she will double down
on that. She made it clear, Kenny, I got to
ask you. I know you're a good order, you're a
brilliant radio host. You're obviously very popular, You've got a
(18:19):
huge audience.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Go on.
Speaker 9 (18:21):
This is not a knock on the communications industry, But Kenny,
how do you mess up an interview on the View?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right?
Speaker 9 (18:28):
If you're a Democrat, If you're a Democrat, how do
you screw up an interview on the View. These are
not people asking tough questions or talking about insightful things.
This is the dumbest show on TV, and Kamala screws
it up. You can't make her, you can't give her power,
Holy cow, Like the you screw up an interview on
(18:48):
the View, that's like getting lost in a closet. And oh,
it's horrifying.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I won't We don't have enough time to play all
the soundbites right now. But I was surprised to see
sixty minutes was actually giving her a couple of tough questions.
I think they kind of had to and Tim Walls.
Tim Walls trying to explain why he lied about being
in China on Tienamen square and he couldn't heat once again,
He's like, oh, I'm a knucklehead. Do you know how
weird that is? That would be like lying about being
in New York City on nine to eleven, Like, oh,
(19:15):
you got you got the date wrong. This was a
historic event. You don't remember tank scrolling through the city.
You don't remember that. That's crazy, isn't And.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
What and what other person would get away with saying well,
I'm just a knucklehead and that being a good enough answer, right,
I'm surprised. Funny how the women of the view didn't
ask Kamala about her girlfriend beating husband, you know, who
aborted the nannies fetus baby and then and then you know,
got divorced and weird, right, believe all women And they
(19:45):
had Gene Carroll on the woman who made up allegations
against Trump. But but you know, Doug Imhoff and you know, hey,
we got to ask you Vice President Harris. You know
this is in the news. Uh you know, Heck, another
story just broke a couple of minutes ago before we
went live. How Doug Himhouf's former colleagues at Venable the
(20:05):
PR firm are coming out saying how misogynistic, sexist, awful
of a human being.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
He was amazing.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Now questions about that for Kamala Hunter.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You know, you don't think he's reinventing masculinity, Daniel. But
Daniel raises a great point here. Doug Emhoff punched a
woman in the face. There were three eyewitnesses and CNN, NBC, ABC,
CBS they don't care.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You know who else didn't care?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
A long list of dozens of social media influencers, political
commentators who built their careers off of the coattails of
the me too movement. It's just amazing, Daniel. We went
along on this. We got to break Daniel Turner Powerthefuture
dot com. Although we didn't talk about it much. I
always tell people he is a leading source for the
energy industry. If you work in oil and gas, or
(20:51):
you work with people who work in oil and gas,
follow Daniel Turner on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
You'll be glad you did.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
So.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
We're supposed to live within our income, so we can
afford to pay taxes to a government they can't live
within its income.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
That Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Okay, ah, Yes, that's my favorite. That's my favorite band.
Royalty Free that's what they're called. No, No, not the
Royal Bloods. That's a real band. This is just Royalty
free music. I'm live on the radio right now, but
I'm also live on social media, and social media platforms
won't let me play copywritten music.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Kind of like Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
When you go, I mean, you're supposed to be able to,
but you can't because musicians hate us. I think that's
what we learn from that. But anyway, thanks so much
for getting connected today. A coalition of seventeen adult film
stars that means porno Hoss have launched a campaign to
warn voters that porn could be made illegal if the
Republicans get elected in November because of Project twenty twenty five. Now,
(21:53):
I know what you're thinking, Project twenty twenty Isn't that
like a blog post that's some guy that's not in
government created Yeah, basically, but even still, that's what they're saying.
Project twenty twenty five is going to stop these women
who hate their fathers from making foot sex videos or something.
I don't know. I do like their slogan though. They
have a catchy slogan. When you go to the polls,
(22:14):
vote with your poll no it doesn't do it?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
All right?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
How about this one. Here's another slogan for them, because
I you know, I'm a generous guy. I like to
help out people. If there's one thing I'm good at,
it's mass communicating and marketing. Okay, your porn stars against Republicans,
here's your slogan. Put this on a bumper sticker. We
have to take this lying down now, not working for you.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
All right.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Well, speaking of people who have sex to elevate their career,
let's talk a little bit about Kamala Harris. Yeah, I know, oh,
I know. That was in poor taste, wasn't it. That
was tacky, Kenny, Shame on you, all right, it wasn't
that bad. We've been talking about some of the lies
that Kamala Harris and other people surrounding Joe Biden have
been telling this week that almost immediately get contradicted. It's guys,
(22:57):
it's only tuesday. It is only Tuesday, and we have
already heard multiple eyes from Kamala Harris, like this one.
Kamala Harris says it is actually Donald Trump's fault that
the hurricane is going so poorly. Now, for those of
you that are watching me right now, or listening to
me on the radio who live in the South, you
know that this doesn't make any sense. Like, first of all,
Donald Trump's not an elected official. He's not handling the
(23:21):
federal government's hurricane response. Why would he beat It has
nothing to do with the Department of homelande Security or
FEMA or the Department of Transportation or any of the
little subgroups of our government that are supposed to be reacked.
So what exactly is his job? Well, his job is
to run for president and offer political commentary. That's all
Trump does. And you know he's a semi retired billionaire,
I mean retired from the business world. Right, So, Kamala
(23:44):
actually says Trump is hurting the response from the hurricane
by casting doubt on whether or not FEMA has any
resources right now. She says, he is a liar. He
is a lying liar, and he's hurting people.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
And I'm losing everything. They're losing everything everything. Yeah, this
woman lost her husband, her child, lost her father. Trump
murdered her father, losing their home with no hope, with
no hope of ever being able to reconstruct or return.
And Trump did that.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
And the idea that somebody would be playing political games.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, sake of himself. But this is so consistent about
Donald Oh yeah, it's the worst. That's himself before the
needs of others. I fear that he really lacks empathy.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh he lacks empathy. How dare you politicize this hurricane?
How dare you make a political issue out of this hurricane?
Even though that's exactly what I'm doing right now, at
this very second, while I'm on this talk show and
millions of people are watching me politicizing our hurricane.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Anyway, donate now at Kamala Harris for President dot com.
I'm like, come on, do you hear these people? You
can never make the argument that your opponent is politicizing
a natural disaster while you're politicizing.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
The natural disaster.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
But at any rate, she's it's Trump's fault for suggesting
that it's misinformation to suggest the federal government says we
don't have enough resources right now to pay for this hurricane.
I don't know where people are getting that from. Oh oh,
this guy, Alejandro Mayorcis. This is the guy that's a
charge of the Department of Homeland Security. FEMA is part
(25:19):
of the Department of Homeland security. Here he is earlier
this month saying we don't have enough resources to deal
with the hurricane.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Hang on, let me just fast forward. This is funding.
We do not have the funds.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
So FEMA does not have the funds to make it
through the season.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Okay, so he said that now that video I just
had on the screen for those of you are wondering.
Back in May of twenty twenty three, he said we
do have the funds. And then, of course now he
said we don't have the funds, and then Trump repeated that.
So now it's misinformation, literally getting your information from the
Biden administration. But apparently Trump is a liar for repeating
(25:56):
what the Biden administration just told us the same day
that FEMA and Mayoric has said FEMA doesn't have enough
money to deal with this hurricane. Kamala said, we're sending
money to Lebanon. And apparently Trump's a bad guy just
for noticing two things at the same time. But I digress. Anyway,
I have a theory about this one. Who's lying? Are
(26:17):
they lying about saying that there's not any funds, because
now there's this watchdog group that actually claims we just
found seven billion dollars with FEMA.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Here's the Neil Caludo covering it.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
Chad Pergram has been following the fallout for FEMA and
getting helped on the way. The trouble is help isn't
always on the way or even that affordable. They're growing
back and forth on this about how FEMA is handling this.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Chad, what can you tell.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Us, Neil, Good afternoon. There's a lot of sniping over
the politics of disaster relief. It's part of this year's elections.
While makers on the right are torching the administration, they
believe the FEDS were not ready for Helene. This worries
leaders as Milton bears down on Florida.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
When you talk to the people who are directly affected,
they will tell you that this has been an abject failure.
FEMA has lost sight of its core mission, I think
in so many cases, and the administration has not shown
that they were prepared for this eventuality and this terrible disaster.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
There are different budget lines for money which helps cities
cope with the migrant crisis and disaster aid, but some
Republicans believe DHS is focused on resettling illegal immigrants and
not on the storms.
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Administration seems to have no problem finding money when they
want to spend it on their priorities. When they need
hundreds of billions of dollars to pay off student loans
for graduate students and gender studies programs, they somehow find it.
When it's trying to get helicopters to deliver food and
water and cellular service and life saving medicine into these
mountain valleys, they somehow can't seem to find the money.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
All right, here's my theory. This is a long clip,
and I don't know. I just got to get to
the point here.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
FEMA said they didn't have enough money, and then this
watchdog group came along and said, oh, actually we were wrong.
A Dchess Inspector General report found seven billion dollars in
unliquidated FEMA funds, which contradicts what Secretary Mayorcis says, but
it doesn't contradict what Kamala just said. Kamala said, they
have the money. Here's my theory on this. I think
(28:17):
they were trying to prevent from spending They didn't want
to spend that money on the hurricane relief. But then
they realized everybody was going to figure out they had
the money. So suddenly if you agreed with the thing
that may Orcis just said, or if you just believed
him or thought he was telling the truth, now you're
a liar, even though that was a member of their
own administration.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
You know what this reminds me of.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You remember way back in twenty twenty one, Joe Biden
said he was going to send Kamala down to the border, Right,
She's going to go down to the border. And then
so then she unofficially became known as the Borders Are
That was never an official government title. That's just something
people like us were calling her. Kamala said, I'll fix
the border. And then three three years pass, Joe drops
(28:57):
out of the election. And you remember earlier this summer,
what was the first thing people started criticizing Kamala for, Well,
if you're gonna be the president, look at what a
been abysmal job you did on the border. How can
you secure the border when you were already put in
charge of securing the border and you didn't secure the border.
And suddenly everybody in the liberal media rush to their
old news stories, rush to their old blog post, their
(29:19):
old videos, and they started editing this stuff in real time.
It was like nineteen eighty four, very George Orwellian erasing,
editing old articles, removing things, tweets, that sort of thing.
You know why. They don't want you to remember the
thing that just happened. They don't want you to believe
that the thing that they just said just happened. So again,
I repeat a point. I've been doing this for almost
(29:40):
twenty years, guys. I still cannot believe how much people lie,
especially a month before the election. A month before the election,
they want you to ignore the fact that the border's
a mess, we have multiple wars going on, you can't
afford groceries, Inflation still moving faster than wage growth in
this country. They don't want you to talk about that.
They want you to talk about They want you to
(30:01):
talk about Tampa.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
I mean, daddy gang to put it in our TikTok terms.
I have seen girls on the street walk up to
men and be like, do you know where a tampon goes?
Do you know how many tampons we use? Do you
even know how?
Speaker 9 (30:16):
Like?
Speaker 13 (30:16):
Do you know what a X or y or z
he is of a part of our And they don't
know the answer.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I was the first vice president or president to ever
in office go to a reproductive health care A reproductive
health care clinic is already real, real quick here, does
anybody know what that is? It's an abortion clinic. Kamala
was the first president a vice president to ever visit
(30:42):
an abortion clinic. Sami, do you want to vote for?
Most people don't care about this. You know who cares?
Young single, unmarried women. And the only reason those women
care is because they want to have sex with men
that they would never pro create with.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
That's it. That's the only thing they would like to
be able to.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Have sex with men, men who are they are not
interested in having a family with, or men that are
not interested in having a family with them, and as
a result, they have decided abortions their only issue. Would
you vote for a candidate who will legalize abortion if
it means open borders and trend a Aragua gang members
trafficking women in your city and murdering children. Yeah, as
(31:20):
long as abortions are legal. What if these people are
printing out money. It's such a rapid pace to fund
multiple wars around the world that suddenly the money in
your bank account loses any value and you can't afford
to pay for groceries. But abortions are still yeah, abortions
are Oh yeah, I'd vote for that.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
What if the people are going to say, what if
the government that you're electing, the government officials are willing
to censor you and take away your right to self
defense or your right to own private property. Okay, but
I could still kill my baby, right, Oh yeah, you
can kill your baby. Well, then, gosh darn it, I'm
voting for that person.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness, where we certainly realize we're
a heart attack away from President Kamala.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Trend day Arragua.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I wish I didn't have all these groups and organizations memorized.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
It's like Islamic terror groups. I can name them all.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Al Shabab, Boko Haram, hesboalah Hamas, al Qaeda, isis, the Taliban.
My favorite was Milf Moro Islamic Liberation Front. I don't
think they realized when they came up with the name.
The acronym means something else in the United States. That's
besides the point. When it comes to criminal enterprises from
south of the border, there are many, right, you got
(32:35):
the Sinaloa Cartel, the Los Zeta's the Gulf Cartels, but
then you got your Streak gangs too. Everybody remembers MS thirteen.
That's been around for a while now at this point.
But trenday Arragua, that's the flavor of the month, isn't it?
And I got to think it's We're probably just a
couple weeks away from learning the name of some Haitian
street gang. But at any rate, Venezuelan's they're the ones
(32:55):
running the criminal enterprise down here in Texas at the moment,
y'all know that's a terror group. Now, trendy Aragua has
been declared. If you heard our morning show today, Ted
Cruz came on and he was saying how he happened
to agree with Governor Abbitt. Trendy Aragua is participating in terrorism.
It's a narco terror group. I mean, what does it
matter if someone's doing terrorism in the name of drug
(33:18):
enterprise or in the name of Islam. No, it's Terrorism's terrorism, right,
So anyway, we have Trendy Aragua to blame for the
death of Joscelyn Nungree right here in Houston. A disgusting story.
I'll spare you the details. I'm sure you've heard it
all by this point. But today we take you to
El Paso. Meet the trend de Aragua Barbie. Oh, this
(33:40):
is La Barbie is her nickname?
Speaker 9 (33:42):
You remember?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Like, how what was it? El Choppo?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
A lot of these, a lot of these streakang people
from Mexico and Central America and South America. They have
a they have like a pen name or I guess
they're not writing anything. They have they have an alias
more appropriately, right, Uh, La Barbie is her name. Her
real name is Estefana Primera, and she is a Venezuelan
(34:05):
illegal immigrant who goes by the street name Labarbie. Drug dealer,
human trafficker. Actually apparently runs a group of gang rape people.
I mean, she's a woman, but she seems to be
running a group of people that are doing horrible things
to other women, which is confusing, right, You're like, why
would a woman want that? Anyway, she has just been
(34:28):
busted for running a brutal sex trafficking ring in El
Paso at a hotel over there photos of it on
the New York Post if you're curious. It's called the
Gateway Hotel. Police visited the hotel seven hundred times before
authorities had to shut it down. Meanwhile, our friend's over
at Texas scorecard dot Com oft a story today Ice
(34:49):
arresting a Venezuelan gang member, yet another one, Javier Jose
al Bernaz Mark Hahn, part of the Trende Aragua gang.
And let's see, it looks like this guy was is
busted up in New York City. But I got a
funny feeling I know how he got there here with
the story, My good buddy, Brandon Waltons from Texas scorecard
dot Com.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Brandon, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, this is just another story, right, another case where
an illegal alien from Venezuela was arrested, this time in
New York City as part of the Trende Aragula gang.
And lo and behold, where have you come across? While
he came across in Texas And I'll pass it more specifically,
And these stories are really starting to stack up. I mean,
you mentioned that Governor Abbott designated Trende Aragua as a
(35:34):
terrorist organization, and that gives the States some more tools
to hopefully push back against this. But we continue to
see just how devastating this is. And a lot of
these people right have not come over just in the
last few weeks, the last months, but they've been coming
over for the last few years, and just now we're
starting to see the effects that that's having in cities
(35:55):
across the country.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
You know what's so interesting about this.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Besides Douglas Arizona, Al Passo was another, I mean, it
was one of the two cities that Kamala visited to
prove to the media that the border was safe. This
was back in I guess twenty twenty one, when Joe
Biden put her in charge of the border and she
earned the nickname Borders are not her official title, obviously,
So where did she go? She went to El Paso,
(36:19):
a big city that already had a border, and a
lot of people pointed out, well, that's not the most
dangerous place at the border. Nor is Douglas Arizona, the
place she visited more recently, which not surprisingly also as
a border barrier. But isn't it kind of amazing, Like
you just pointed out, both of these cases of Trende
Aragua gang members doing horrible things got into the country
(36:39):
through al Paso and Brandon. That's supposed to be one
of the safer cities at the border.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah, I mean, that's you know, if you want to
talk about where the problem is, you'd list off a
lot of areas like Eagle Pass, Del Rio, a lot
of spots along the Texas border before you get to
El Paso, simply for the fact that one, it's a
very populated area, so there's a lot of presents there,
police and otherwise, but also the fact that they've had
a border wall for quite some time in that part
(37:06):
of the sector. So Elpasso generally not considered one of
the more dangerous or one of the more porous border spots,
and yet that's exactly where this specific illegal alien came across.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
All right, let's talk a little bit about Attorney General
Ken Paxton and the role he is playing right now
in not only stopping illegal immigration at the border, but
stopping these people from voting. I don't remember earlier this summer,
not long ago, a month or two back, was announced
that Ken Paxton had removed literally six figure sum of voters,
hundreds of thousands of voters that were either dead or
(37:42):
had moved out of the state, and several thousand of
them were non citizens that actually we believe did vote
in recent elections. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden said, this is
voter suppression, horrible, right, But they're not supposed to be voting,
and it hasn't been proven that anybody that was supposed
to be eligible to vote somehow prevented from voting. And
Attorney General Ken Paxton is now pressing the Biden Harris
(38:04):
administration for access to citizenship data as part of his
ongoing efforts to investigate potential non citizen voters in Texas.
Why would the Biden administration want to prevent Ken Paxton
from figuring out if illegals are voting?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Brandon, Yeah, well I wonder why, right, But you know,
this is something that, as you mentioned, has been investigated
at Texas for quite some time now. In fact, just
recently last month, Attorney General Paxton pressed the Secretary of
the State, the Texas Secretary of State, that's Jane Nelson,
saying that she needed to verify this data. We have
(38:39):
people who are registered to vote who might be eligible
to vote, but we don't have a driver's license or
a state ID tied to those records, and so it
beggs some more investigation as to their citizenship status. She
sort of attempted to do that. Paxton said, you know,
and he wasn't satisfied with the way they were doing,
(39:00):
and so he's taken matters into his own hands. He's
directly appealing to the federal government to cross check that
data to make sure that there's not massive amounts of
non citizens on the voter rules that could potentially vote.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, I mean, come on, it seems pretty obvious to me.
And meanwhile, Texas is ban on paid vote harvesting is
back in effect for now. Ballot harvesting is legal in California,
but it's very illegal in Texas, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yes? And it's illegal not just because of this law
that specifically was struck down parts of it in court recently,
and then another court sort of reinstated it as it
makes its little you know, ping pong a way through
the courts. But there are other laws as well that
specifically state that, you know, you can't go and tell
(39:48):
somebody how to vote while they're filling out their ballot, right,
And it makes sense when you think about it in
terms of I always use as example, you couldn't walk
into a palling place, go to somebody who's you know,
filling out their ballot and start making the choices for them.
And yet there have been many cases where people have
done essentially this when it comes to mail in ballots,
(40:09):
where they've gone door to door, They've gone and you know,
grabbed grandma's mail ballot from the mailbox and start filling
it out for him and sending it out. And that
is what is illegal here, and that's what has been
you know, this court has said that that is illegal
for now that lock and stay in place, and that's
one of probably the biggest avenues for voter fraud.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, I mean, it seems so obvious to me.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
There are so many stories going back to Trendy Arragua
for a minute here about the gang, and so many
news stories on your website. I didn't realize you guys
actually had another story about a bunch of these guys
getting busted at an apartment complex in San Antonio. But
just tying all this together, as we get closer and
closer to the election, would would you be shocked to
learn not only are these Trendy Arragua guys in the state,
(40:54):
they could be voting.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Well, who's to say, right? This is this is why
the Attorney General is asking these questions, trying to get
to the bottom of this. We don't know, you know,
how many potential non citizen voters might be on the
voter roll, and that's why he's trying to get to
the bottom of this. So, you know, I don't want
to I don't want to make the assertion that this
(41:17):
is happening in massive numbers, but it is something that
needs to be addressed that people are going to have
faith in our election system heading into November.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
All right, before you go, quick question here, switching topics
for a minute. A lot of people may remember a
very historic moment in federal legislature and our former president
Donald Trump signing the Farm Bill a few years back.
It's hard to believe, but there was a point, I
don't know a decade eight years ago where you didn't
see CBD products in stores all over the country. Now
(41:47):
you see it everywhere thanks to Donald Trump. People kind
of forgot about that. But the Farm, Food and National
Security Act, that's the new Farm Bill, is something that
apparently one hundred and forty lawmakers, including a lot of
members of the Texas delegation, a lot of Texas lawmakers
are pushing for what exactly is it?
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Why is there a new farm bill?
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Well, the Farm Bill. The way these work, they expire
after five years. In fact, the Farm Bill that you're
talking about that was signed into law by President Trump
expired in twenty twenty three. They did a little bit
of an extension for a year, but that expired last month.
And so now you've got this group of lawmakers, including many,
if not most or all, of the Republican delegation from Texas,
(42:29):
urging Congress to pass this. You know, it's obviously it's
a big deal for farmers, for people who work in
the agriculture industry, and you've got Republicans from all coast
the state that are urging Congress to pass this.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Interesting. I had no idea, you know, I had a
question for you. As we're getting into the next election here,
I can't help but notice two guys, most of the
lawmakers around the state, including some of the lawmakers that
have co signed on this and supporting this, probably are
going to get reelected. A lot of the incumbents seem
to be getting re election this year. But I can't
help but notice that two guys, two incumbents live in
(43:06):
a district that could easily flip. One of them is
Tony Gonzalez, a famous rhino. The other is Henry Quaar,
who I think is being investigated right now, a Democrat
who's tough on the border being investigated for taking money
from overseas. I don't know if that sounds familiar, but
I'm not talking about the New York City mayor. I'm
talking about this guy. Do you see either of those
districts flipping this.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
November, Well, I think both of them are going to
be close. I think that, you know, this is obviously
one of those elections, especially with the presidential race at
the top of the ticket, that mean that people need
to go get out and vote. That Democrats are going
to put up their best efforts, and just by virtue
of having a ton of people out there voting, that
means that a lot of these races could be close.
(43:46):
But these congressional races or even frankly looking at the
you know, the Senate race with Ted Cruz and Colin already,
I think this underscore is why people need to get
out and vote.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Brandon Walton's Texas scorecard dot Com. I cannot stress this enough. Folks,
vote early. Brandon is so right about this. Don't just
vote on election day, vote early. You know, what happened
four years ago. Let's not repeat history. It's a smart idea.
In the meantime, Texas Scorecard dot Com has got a
great It's a website filled with information that's going to
absolutely improve your life. You're better off staying informed and

you can stay informed of Texas scorecard dot Com. While

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hurricane Milton is projected to make landfall in Florida in
the next twenty four hours. Milton is probably a good
reminder that hurricane season isn't over yet and we're running
out of good names for hurricanes. I gotta tell you,
I did not think that they would name a hurricane
after my French bulldog, but that's what they did. Hi,
I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks so much for joining us my
(00:46):
guest this afternoon on KPRC nine fifty.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Tune in for it. Daniel Turner is going to be
stopping by from Power the Future, and Brandon Waltons.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Will be here from Texas scorecard dot Com, two of
my favorite people to talk to on the radio, one
of them a journalist, the other author. They both write
things for a living, So I'm gonna make them talk
on the radio and we'll get to hear how funny
their voices sound. To stick around for that before we
get to any of that, why don't we start off
with this. Most of you probably realize at this point
that the hurricane is primarily affecting places around the country
(01:16):
where Trump voters live. And I'm not a conspiracy guy here,
but you can't, okay, I kind of am. You can't
help people from speculating. You can't blame people from speculating
that maybe part of the reason why things are so
bad right now is because they don't want you to vote,
or they want you to be so unhappy that you
won't vote. You know, twenty six of the twenty eight
(01:37):
counties that were affected by Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Trump won in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I know there are people out speculating right now that
the government can create weather and create hurricanes, and that's crazy,
that's stupid, you guys. Everyone knows that's not true. Hurricanes
exist because of cow farts. That's clearly what happens. So
stop with your crazy conspiracy theories. Let's all get back
to Planet Earth here for just a minute. But that
being said, for as long as I've been doing this
(02:06):
for a living, I'm not an old guy. I'm by
millennial standards quite old. I'm a wise, elder millennial. I'm
one of the older millennials. I remember Bill Clinton's cigar thing.
I remember when Kirk Cobain died, and when Tupac and
Biggie died, and so that's how old I am. But
even though I've been doing this for about two decades
at this point, it still amazes me covering political news
(02:29):
on talk radio.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
It still amazes me how much people lie. There are
so many lies happening all the time. Now.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
One of the things that's changed today versus a decade
or two ago is it's now a little bit easier
to catch people lying because now we've got Twitter and
sound bites and video. But social media, there's so many
different ways to figure out if you're being lied to,
so many ways, all the time, constantly. So why don't
we talk about that. Let's start the show here. You know,
it's Tuesday, you guys get that. It's we're two days
(02:57):
into the work week. And yet, somehow amazing, even though
we're only two days into the workweek, the Kamala for
President campaign and the Joe Biden presidential administration are already
contradicting each other multiple times. I could fill a whole
hour of talk radio up just playing sound bites of
them contradicting each other. But I won't bore you. We'll
(03:18):
just the meat and potatoes here, just the fat for
So let's start off with this one. By now, you
guys have probably already heard what I think is like
the most obvious lie of the day. She got caught
for this one right away. Kamala Harris said that Ron
DeSantis wouldn't take her phone calls, which is weird because
she never called him before, and also she's not president,
but even still, that's what she said.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So, you know, moments of crisis, if nothing else, should.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Really be the moment that anyone who calls himself a leader,
uh huh, says they're going to put politics aside as
the people first.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
People aren't desperately to support.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Right now, and playing political games at this moment, in
these priceless situations, these are.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Okay, okay, stop right there, she says. It's a serious time.
We can't be playing political games here, guys. Why is
Ron de Santis doing this? Why is Ron de Santis
being so political right now? She says, as she runs
for president and mixed cameo appearances on the call, her
Daddy podcast. You know, he's out handling multiple hurricanes in
(04:21):
his state right now, she's hanging out with the cackling
hens of the view. I'm pretty sure I know who's
playing politics and who's not. But even though still that's
what she said. So Ron de Santis got to respond
to it, and he wasn't having it.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Look in the mirror.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
We've been on an emergency footing for two weeks straight,
round the clock, twenty four to seven. We've been working
my office, our division of Emergency Management, helping people prepare
for Hurricane Helene, helping effectuate rescues of people after Hurricane Helene,
helping people pick up the pieces of their lives.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, it's really bad out there, guys, and they've we
got debris from the last storm all over the place,
basically acting like spears. When the next hurricane is about
to happen. DeSantis doesn't have time for this nonsense from Kamala.
I will say this, I'm glad that he's getting along
with Donald Trump again. I like to see the two
of those guys working well together. But as all this
(05:17):
has taken place, he said, she said, what's the real truth?
Here here comes sleepy Joe, Joe didn't know, or did he? No, no, no,
I'm sure he didn't know. Joe didn't know that Kamala
Harris was claiming to be a victim of Ron DeSantis
not taking a phone.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Call from her.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Now here's the actual president telling you earlier today as
reporters are screaming questions at him. No, no, actually, Ron
de Santis is a good guy. I've been communicating with
him regularly via cell phone.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he's
gotten all that he needs. And talked to him again
yesterday and I said whatever I said, No, you're doing
a great job. Is being all being done? Well, thank
you for and I literally gave my.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Personal phone number to call personal phone number.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
There was a rough start in some places.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But every I don't know where this theory is that
DeSantis isn't communicating with people. I don't know what woman
who's half black, half Native Indian, not Native American.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Where this whole crazy theory's coming from, says Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I think he does know. I think he knows that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I think he heard Kamalis say that, and I think
he's doing little subtle things here and there to try
to keep her from getting elected. It's just a theory
because if you were a dude who's been running for
president since the nineteen seventies, and he has been Remember
he dropped out what was it the late seventies, early eighties,
before I was born, before Kamal when Kamala Harris was
(06:48):
still a kid. Joe Biden had to drop out of
the presidential election because he got caught plagiarizing. Look that
one up, Phil, I mean, I'm sure a lot of
you have heard that story before. But it's a doozy.
It's a whip of a doozy. Here's a guy that's
been running for president for a long time, and all
of a sudden, right at the end of his life,
in the end of his career, the guy that made
(07:10):
him really famous, Barack Obama, all of his Hollywood buddies,
George Clooney, his right hand Gal Kamala Harris, suddenly start
stabbing him in the back like Julius Caesar on the
floor of the Senate. Oo too, Kamala. Yeah, imagine that
is Joe finally getting his revenge.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
The only thing that hurts more than paying taxes. Not
paying taxes, It's true Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Hey, your taxes, all right. I want to make a
point here. Today's Tuesday. That's the second day of the week. Right,
It's barely even Tuesday, right, We're halfway through the day here.
A lot of you, you know, some people get up
a little.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Later than others.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
A lot of you are just getting your day started.
It's not for me to judge. But the point is
it's only Tuesday. And amazingly, even though we're only a
couple days into the workweek, I did an administration and
the Kamala Harris for President campaign have already contradicted each
other multiple times, multiple times. I'll give you a couple
examples here. Here's an obvious one. Kamala says that Ron DeSantis,
(08:16):
the governor of Florida, won't take her phone calls, and
then he said out, well, that's confusing. I didn't even
know she was trying to get a hold of me.
But earlier today, Joe Biden, responding to a bunch of
screaming reporters trying to get him to attack Florida Governor
Ron de Santis, said the governor of Florida has been
very cooperative. This is an exact quote. He said, he's
(08:37):
gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday.
I said, a boy, I said, I know you're doing
a great job. It's being all being done. Well, you
know how, he yammers on. I'm reading a transcript. But
the point is they're communicating via cell phone. Said, we
communicate so much. Even gave him his cell phone. Wait,
that's not what Kamala said. Does Biden not know that
Kamala is out telling people that to say, okay, fine. Meanwhile,
(09:01):
this hurricane is obviously involved in every major political issue
right now. We were told by Mayorcis FEMA, the Federal
Emergency Management whatever it's called, they don't have any money.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We were told they don't have any money. They're not
prepared for the hurricane. That's what they said.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
Hold on, I do not have the funds. So FEMA
does not have the funds to make it through the season.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Guys, I didn't make that up. That's him talking. I didn't.
I didn't invent that. That's what he said.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Now, since then, a watchdog groups come out and said, actually, DHS,
FEMA's got about seventy billion dollars they're not telling you
about but you can't help. But notice we're sending all
this money overseas, and Trump points that out. So both
Kamala and koreinm Jean Pierre said, that's a lie being
spread by Trump. Well, he got that information from Mayorcis,
(09:52):
and in fact, it was Kamala who said the same day,
we're giving money to Lebanon. So we're paying Israel to
bomb Lebanon and then we're paying Lebanon to clean up afterwards.
But if you point that out, you're spreading right wing misinformation,
even though they're the ones that told us this. I
know it's a lot to unpack. That's why I invited
our next guest on today, Daniel Turner is here from
Powerthefuture dot com. Daniel, where do we even start with this?
(10:15):
DeSantis is communicating with Biden, Kamala says he's not. FEMA
says they don't have any money. Kamala says, that's a
lie being spread by Trump. What do you make of this? Again,
It's only Tuesday.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
It's only Tuesday, and I'm already exhausted.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Right.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
It just shows you when you have incompetent people, people
who are brilliant campaigners and they win elections, but they
do not know how to do their job. And right
now we need some big boys, right we need adults
to run things. And look, I'm not an anarchist. I
despise the size of our federal government. I get excited
about Elon Musk saying his task force will cut eighty
(10:54):
percent of it, right, but I'm not an anarchist. There
are certain roles of government and right now we need
government to do its job. And what we have, though,
are a bunch of amateurs. Joe Biden has never run anything.
I remember this guy has been a senator. Senators are
fairly useless. He's been a senator for fifty years, and
then as Vice president he did nothing other than cure cancer.
(11:16):
So he hasn't ever run anything. Now he's supposed to
run the country and he doesn't know how to do
the job. And we've seen it, we were living it.
Kamala doesn't know how to do anything. She's been again
a senator and a figurehead for her whole elected career. Heck,
she talks about being an attorney general and it's come
(11:39):
out she never even argued a case, so she's just
a figurehead. But we need people in charge, and we
don't have anyone in charge, and so we have chaos.
It's where the private sector is stepping up, and I
think that is sadly what our future will be if
Kamala is elected. I don't believe in civil war. I
don't think we're going to have that actually happen. What's
(12:00):
going to happen is private citizens are going to start
taking more roles and they're going to clash with government
that says you can't do that, kind of what we
saw in COVID. Right. You see these private citizens who
have helicopters who are saying I am flying into North
Carolina to bring water and Pete Buddha. Judge saying no,
you don't have authorization from the FAA, and the pilots
(12:24):
saying well watch me or try to stop me. That's
the chaos that's going to happen if Kamala wins, because
adults and men toxic masculinity ultimately are going to step
up and do their damn job because the government is
incapable of it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know, Daniel, I'm glad you brought that up because
it brings up another topic that I don't think is
being discussed enough. I'm an Ockham's razor guy. I think
the most likely explanations probably the truth. I tried not
to dabble too much in conspiracy theories, although in the
last few years a lot of conspiracy theories, especially when
it came to COVID, turned out to be true. So
when you look at the response to Hurricane Helene, right,
(13:00):
you got wacky people out there saying, Oh, it's weather
machines or whatever. It's like, all right, it's probably not
weather machines. Although, to be honest, the explanation that if
you eat bugs and have cowfarts, that that's causing or
preventing hurricanes, that's just as silly. But with all that
being said, I don't know what's causing the hurricanes. I
do know the federal government is, so they're so determined
(13:22):
to stop people from helping out people involved in the hurricane.
You almost wonder if they're trying to get this to
prevent people from voting. I mean, I know we're a
month out, but we have people calling us on the
radio from the Georgia Carolina line over there, state line
radio listeners telling us there are people trying to bring
aid into the state, food, bottled water. Have you heard this?
(13:45):
They're dumping out bottled water and gatorade. I couldn't believe it.
We started getting phone calls from listeners on our morning show.
More than one person called and told us this, And
if you hear it from multiple people, you start to
wonder if it's true.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
You know what I meanbsolutely, and this is just in
being competence of government. I hate to think that it
is a ploy to keep Republicans in North Carolina from voting.
It wouldn't surprise me, right, these are some evil people,
and politically motivated people can do some vicious things, So
(14:20):
I would hate to think that. Said, so, I'm just
going to take it off the table, just because I
want to believe we have some semblance of a moral
compass in this country. But a lot of what we're
seeing is the result of incompetence due to this administration's
push for diversity. Right, we didn't hire the most qualified
(14:41):
FEMA director. We hired a woman. Now, of course a
woman could be the most competent FEMA director, but she
wasn't hired because she was the most competent. She was
hired for her gender. Pete Buddha Judge was hired for
his sexual orientation. Of course, you can be gay and
be the most brilliant transportation logistics person in the world.
(15:03):
But that's not why he was hired. He was hired
for his diversity. And you've got this cross the government,
from our military to our federal agencies. And then when
again big boy moments step up and you have to
do your job, they're incapable of doing it, you know.
And heck I saw this morning the Jets fired their
(15:24):
head coach. How is that relevant because that's the private
sector in action. Hey buddy, look, we hired you to
be coached, paid your boatload of money. You're screwing up.
You're gone right, We'll find another coach. We don't fire
people in the government. Majorcas hasn't been fired, right, The
generals who were in charge of the Afghanistan, which we
are all han't been fired. Trump talks about her all
the time. No, that FEMA's gonna get fired. They're gonna
(15:46):
told you know what, there was some blame on all side.
Fauci was never fired. All the COVID people were never fired.
So this is what happens when government has too much
control and too much power and no accountability.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
All right, so Kamal is out interviews again. Politico dot
Com says the reason she's suddenly just suddenly so gung
ho about doing interviews is because her inside advisors are
telling her, maybe playing it safe isn't actually going to
work for you. You've got to go out and work
a little harder. You've got to do interviews. And so
she does. She does the the you know, the Call
Her Daddy podcast, and then Tim Walls does Jimmy Kimmel.
(16:22):
Like these aren't exactly challenging interviews. Kamala appears, Kamala appears
on the View, and on the View they ask her
the question here, I'll just play the sound bite for it.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Hold on, I'm playing too many sound bites some once here.
Pause that. Okay, she's on the View and she's asked.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than
President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Now remember that this is an audience of people staying
home watching TV, which means they're a very old or
be somebody's housewife. I got to think at least half
of that audience, Right, the elderly living on a fixed
income are probably not enjoying inflation right now, and they're
probably smart enough to know why it's happening. But do
they blame Joe get Do they hear Kamala say that
(17:10):
and then associate her with it?
Speaker 9 (17:13):
The effort of this entire campaign has been to distance
themselves from Biden, that Kamala is her own person, she's
got her own plan. The response to so many of
the things Tim Waltz said was, well, she's only the VP, right,
She's not the VP. Can't make decisions, it's the president.
So their whole campaign has been predicated on this belief
(17:36):
that Kamala is her own independent, brilliant mind, untethered from
Joe Biden, we will have a great America. And then
she just blew that up in half a second, giving
that answer. Right, she is not a brilliant mind. She's
completely the co pilot of this administration. And she would
have done it exactly the same way, which means she
(17:58):
will do it the same way if she's elected. And so,
if you like your high gas prices and your high
food prices, and your high mortgage rates and your war
around the world elect Kamala because she will double down
on that. She made it clear, Kenny, I got to
ask you. I know you're a good order, you're a
brilliant radio host. You're obviously very popular, You've got a
(18:19):
huge audience.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Go on.
Speaker 9 (18:21):
This is not a knock on the communications industry, But Kenny,
how do you mess up an interview on the View?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right?
Speaker 9 (18:28):
If you're a Democrat, If you're a Democrat, how do
you screw up an interview on the View. These are
not people asking tough questions or talking about insightful things.
This is the dumbest show on TV, and Kamala screws
it up. You can't make her, you can't give her power,
Holy cow, Like the you screw up an interview on
(18:48):
the View, that's like getting lost in a closet. And oh,
it's horrifying.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I won't We don't have enough time to play all
the soundbites right now. But I was surprised to see
sixty minutes was actually giving her a couple of tough questions.
I think they kind of had to and Tim Walls.
Tim Walls trying to explain why he lied about being
in China on Tienamen square and he couldn't heat once again,
He's like, oh, I'm a knucklehead. Do you know how
weird that is? That would be like lying about being
in New York City on nine to eleven, Like, oh,
(19:15):
you got you got the date wrong. This was a
historic event. You don't remember tank scrolling through the city.
You don't remember that. That's crazy, isn't And.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
What and what other person would get away with saying well,
I'm just a knucklehead and that being a good enough answer, right,
I'm surprised. Funny how the women of the view didn't
ask Kamala about her girlfriend beating husband, you know, who
aborted the nannies fetus baby and then and then you know,
got divorced and weird, right, believe all women And they
(19:45):
had Gene Carroll on the woman who made up allegations
against Trump. But but you know, Doug Imhoff and you know, hey,
we got to ask you Vice President Harris. You know
this is in the news. Uh you know, Heck, another
story just broke a couple of minutes ago before we
went live. How Doug Himhouf's former colleagues at Venable the
(20:05):
PR firm are coming out saying how misogynistic, sexist, awful
of a human being.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
He was amazing.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Now questions about that for Kamala Hunter.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You know, you don't think he's reinventing masculinity, Daniel. But
Daniel raises a great point here. Doug Emhoff punched a
woman in the face. There were three eyewitnesses and CNN, NBC, ABC,
CBS they don't care.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You know who else didn't care?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
A long list of dozens of social media influencers, political
commentators who built their careers off of the coattails of
the me too movement. It's just amazing, Daniel. We went
along on this. We got to break Daniel Turner Powerthefuture
dot com. Although we didn't talk about it much. I
always tell people he is a leading source for the
energy industry. If you work in oil and gas, or
(20:51):
you work with people who work in oil and gas,
follow Daniel Turner on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
You'll be glad you did.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
So.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
We're supposed to live within our income, so we can
afford to pay taxes to a government they can't live
within its income.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
That Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Okay, ah, Yes, that's my favorite. That's my favorite band.
Royalty Free that's what they're called. No, No, not the
Royal Bloods. That's a real band. This is just Royalty
free music. I'm live on the radio right now, but
I'm also live on social media, and social media platforms
won't let me play copywritten music.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Kind of like Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
When you go, I mean, you're supposed to be able to,
but you can't because musicians hate us. I think that's
what we learn from that. But anyway, thanks so much
for getting connected today. A coalition of seventeen adult film
stars that means porno Hoss have launched a campaign to
warn voters that porn could be made illegal if the
Republicans get elected in November because of Project twenty twenty five. Now,
(21:53):
I know what you're thinking, Project twenty twenty Isn't that
like a blog post that's some guy that's not in
government created Yeah, basically, but even still, that's what they're saying.
Project twenty twenty five is going to stop these women
who hate their fathers from making foot sex videos or something.
I don't know. I do like their slogan though. They
have a catchy slogan. When you go to the polls,
(22:14):
vote with your poll no it doesn't do it?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
All right?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
How about this one. Here's another slogan for them, because
I you know, I'm a generous guy. I like to
help out people. If there's one thing I'm good at,
it's mass communicating and marketing. Okay, your porn stars against Republicans,
here's your slogan. Put this on a bumper sticker. We
have to take this lying down now, not working for you.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
All right.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Well, speaking of people who have sex to elevate their career,
let's talk a little bit about Kamala Harris. Yeah, I know, oh,
I know. That was in poor taste, wasn't it. That
was tacky, Kenny, Shame on you, all right, it wasn't
that bad. We've been talking about some of the lies
that Kamala Harris and other people surrounding Joe Biden have
been telling this week that almost immediately get contradicted. It's guys,
(22:57):
it's only tuesday. It is only Tuesday, and we have
already heard multiple eyes from Kamala Harris, like this one.
Kamala Harris says it is actually Donald Trump's fault that
the hurricane is going so poorly. Now, for those of
you that are watching me right now, or listening to
me on the radio who live in the South, you
know that this doesn't make any sense. Like, first of all,
Donald Trump's not an elected official. He's not handling the
(23:21):
federal government's hurricane response. Why would he beat It has
nothing to do with the Department of homelande Security or
FEMA or the Department of Transportation or any of the
little subgroups of our government that are supposed to be reacked.
So what exactly is his job? Well, his job is
to run for president and offer political commentary. That's all
Trump does. And you know he's a semi retired billionaire,
I mean retired from the business world. Right, So, Kamala
(23:44):
actually says Trump is hurting the response from the hurricane
by casting doubt on whether or not FEMA has any
resources right now. She says, he is a liar. He
is a lying liar, and he's hurting people.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
And I'm losing everything. They're losing everything everything. Yeah, this
woman lost her husband, her child, lost her father. Trump
murdered her father, losing their home with no hope, with
no hope of ever being able to reconstruct or return.
And Trump did that.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
And the idea that somebody would be playing political games.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, sake of himself. But this is so consistent about
Donald Oh yeah, it's the worst. That's himself before the
needs of others. I fear that he really lacks empathy.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh he lacks empathy. How dare you politicize this hurricane?
How dare you make a political issue out of this hurricane?
Even though that's exactly what I'm doing right now, at
this very second, while I'm on this talk show and
millions of people are watching me politicizing our hurricane.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Anyway, donate now at Kamala Harris for President dot com.
I'm like, come on, do you hear these people? You
can never make the argument that your opponent is politicizing
a natural disaster while you're politicizing.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
The natural disaster.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
But at any rate, she's it's Trump's fault for suggesting
that it's misinformation to suggest the federal government says we
don't have enough resources right now to pay for this hurricane.
I don't know where people are getting that from. Oh oh,
this guy, Alejandro Mayorcis. This is the guy that's a
charge of the Department of Homeland Security. FEMA is part
(25:19):
of the Department of Homeland security. Here he is earlier
this month saying we don't have enough resources to deal
with the hurricane.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Hang on, let me just fast forward. This is funding.
We do not have the funds.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
So FEMA does not have the funds to make it
through the season.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Okay, so he said that now that video I just
had on the screen for those of you are wondering.
Back in May of twenty twenty three, he said we
do have the funds. And then, of course now he
said we don't have the funds, and then Trump repeated that.
So now it's misinformation, literally getting your information from the
Biden administration. But apparently Trump is a liar for repeating
(25:56):
what the Biden administration just told us the same day
that FEMA and Mayoric has said FEMA doesn't have enough
money to deal with this hurricane. Kamala said, we're sending
money to Lebanon. And apparently Trump's a bad guy just
for noticing two things at the same time. But I digress. Anyway,
I have a theory about this one. Who's lying? Are
(26:17):
they lying about saying that there's not any funds, because
now there's this watchdog group that actually claims we just
found seven billion dollars with FEMA.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Here's the Neil Caludo covering it.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
Chad Pergram has been following the fallout for FEMA and
getting helped on the way. The trouble is help isn't
always on the way or even that affordable. They're growing
back and forth on this about how FEMA is handling this.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Chad, what can you tell.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Us, Neil, Good afternoon. There's a lot of sniping over
the politics of disaster relief. It's part of this year's elections.
While makers on the right are torching the administration, they
believe the FEDS were not ready for Helene. This worries
leaders as Milton bears down on Florida.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
When you talk to the people who are directly affected,
they will tell you that this has been an abject failure.
FEMA has lost sight of its core mission, I think
in so many cases, and the administration has not shown
that they were prepared for this eventuality and this terrible disaster.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
There are different budget lines for money which helps cities
cope with the migrant crisis and disaster aid, but some
Republicans believe DHS is focused on resettling illegal immigrants and
not on the storms.
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Administration seems to have no problem finding money when they
want to spend it on their priorities. When they need
hundreds of billions of dollars to pay off student loans
for graduate students and gender studies programs, they somehow find it.
When it's trying to get helicopters to deliver food and
water and cellular service and life saving medicine into these
mountain valleys, they somehow can't seem to find the money.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
All right, here's my theory. This is a long clip,
and I don't know. I just got to get to
the point here.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
FEMA said they didn't have enough money, and then this
watchdog group came along and said, oh, actually we were wrong.
A Dchess Inspector General report found seven billion dollars in
unliquidated FEMA funds, which contradicts what Secretary Mayorcis says, but
it doesn't contradict what Kamala just said. Kamala said, they
have the money. Here's my theory on this. I think
(28:17):
they were trying to prevent from spending They didn't want
to spend that money on the hurricane relief. But then
they realized everybody was going to figure out they had
the money. So suddenly if you agreed with the thing
that may Orcis just said, or if you just believed
him or thought he was telling the truth, now you're
a liar, even though that was a member of their
own administration.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
You know what this reminds me of.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You remember way back in twenty twenty one, Joe Biden
said he was going to send Kamala down to the border, Right,
She's going to go down to the border. And then
so then she unofficially became known as the Borders Are
That was never an official government title. That's just something
people like us were calling her. Kamala said, I'll fix
the border. And then three three years pass, Joe drops
(28:57):
out of the election. And you remember earlier this summer,
what was the first thing people started criticizing Kamala for, Well,
if you're gonna be the president, look at what a
been abysmal job you did on the border. How can
you secure the border when you were already put in
charge of securing the border and you didn't secure the border.
And suddenly everybody in the liberal media rush to their
old news stories, rush to their old blog post, their
(29:19):
old videos, and they started editing this stuff in real time.
It was like nineteen eighty four, very George Orwellian erasing,
editing old articles, removing things, tweets, that sort of thing.
You know why. They don't want you to remember the
thing that just happened. They don't want you to believe
that the thing that they just said just happened. So again,
I repeat a point. I've been doing this for almost
(29:40):
twenty years, guys. I still cannot believe how much people lie,
especially a month before the election. A month before the election,
they want you to ignore the fact that the border's
a mess, we have multiple wars going on, you can't
afford groceries, Inflation still moving faster than wage growth in
this country. They don't want you to talk about that.
They want you to talk about They want you to
(30:01):
talk about Tampa.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
I mean, daddy gang to put it in our TikTok terms.
I have seen girls on the street walk up to
men and be like, do you know where a tampon goes?
Do you know how many tampons we use? Do you
even know how?
Speaker 9 (30:16):
Like?
Speaker 13 (30:16):
Do you know what a X or y or z
he is of a part of our And they don't
know the answer.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I was the first vice president or president to ever
in office go to a reproductive health care A reproductive
health care clinic is already real, real quick here, does
anybody know what that is? It's an abortion clinic. Kamala
was the first president a vice president to ever visit
(30:42):
an abortion clinic. Sami, do you want to vote for?
Most people don't care about this. You know who cares?
Young single, unmarried women. And the only reason those women
care is because they want to have sex with men
that they would never pro create with.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
That's it. That's the only thing they would like to
be able to.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Have sex with men, men who are they are not
interested in having a family with, or men that are
not interested in having a family with them, and as
a result, they have decided abortions their only issue. Would
you vote for a candidate who will legalize abortion if
it means open borders and trend a Aragua gang members
trafficking women in your city and murdering children. Yeah, as
(31:20):
long as abortions are legal. What if these people are
printing out money. It's such a rapid pace to fund
multiple wars around the world that suddenly the money in
your bank account loses any value and you can't afford
to pay for groceries. But abortions are still yeah, abortions
are Oh yeah, I'd vote for that.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
What if the people are going to say, what if
the government that you're electing, the government officials are willing
to censor you and take away your right to self
defense or your right to own private property. Okay, but
I could still kill my baby, right, Oh yeah, you
can kill your baby. Well, then, gosh darn it, I'm
voting for that person.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness, where we certainly realize we're
a heart attack away from President Kamala.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Trend day Arragua.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I wish I didn't have all these groups and organizations memorized.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
It's like Islamic terror groups. I can name them all.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Al Shabab, Boko Haram, hesboalah Hamas, al Qaeda, isis, the Taliban.
My favorite was Milf Moro Islamic Liberation Front. I don't
think they realized when they came up with the name.
The acronym means something else in the United States. That's
besides the point. When it comes to criminal enterprises from
south of the border, there are many, right, you got
(32:35):
the Sinaloa Cartel, the Los Zeta's the Gulf Cartels, but
then you got your Streak gangs too. Everybody remembers MS thirteen.
That's been around for a while now at this point.
But trenday Arragua, that's the flavor of the month, isn't it?
And I got to think it's We're probably just a
couple weeks away from learning the name of some Haitian
street gang. But at any rate, Venezuelan's they're the ones
(32:55):
running the criminal enterprise down here in Texas at the moment,
y'all know that's a terror group. Now, trendy Aragua has
been declared. If you heard our morning show today, Ted
Cruz came on and he was saying how he happened
to agree with Governor Abbitt. Trendy Aragua is participating in terrorism.
It's a narco terror group. I mean, what does it
matter if someone's doing terrorism in the name of drug
(33:18):
enterprise or in the name of Islam. No, it's Terrorism's terrorism, right,
So anyway, we have Trendy Aragua to blame for the
death of Joscelyn Nungree right here in Houston. A disgusting story.
I'll spare you the details. I'm sure you've heard it
all by this point. But today we take you to
El Paso. Meet the trend de Aragua Barbie. Oh, this
(33:40):
is La Barbie is her nickname?
Speaker 9 (33:42):
You remember?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Like, how what was it? El Choppo?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
A lot of these, a lot of these streakang people
from Mexico and Central America and South America. They have
a they have like a pen name or I guess
they're not writing anything. They have they have an alias
more appropriately, right, Uh, La Barbie is her name. Her
real name is Estefana Primera, and she is a Venezuelan
(34:05):
illegal immigrant who goes by the street name Labarbie. Drug dealer,
human trafficker. Actually apparently runs a group of gang rape people.
I mean, she's a woman, but she seems to be
running a group of people that are doing horrible things
to other women, which is confusing, right, You're like, why
would a woman want that? Anyway, she has just been
(34:28):
busted for running a brutal sex trafficking ring in El
Paso at a hotel over there photos of it on
the New York Post if you're curious. It's called the
Gateway Hotel. Police visited the hotel seven hundred times before
authorities had to shut it down. Meanwhile, our friend's over
at Texas scorecard dot Com oft a story today Ice
(34:49):
arresting a Venezuelan gang member, yet another one, Javier Jose
al Bernaz Mark Hahn, part of the Trende Aragua gang.
And let's see, it looks like this guy was is
busted up in New York City. But I got a
funny feeling I know how he got there here with
the story, My good buddy, Brandon Waltons from Texas scorecard
dot Com.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Brandon, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, this is just another story, right, another case where
an illegal alien from Venezuela was arrested, this time in
New York City as part of the Trende Aragula gang.
And lo and behold, where have you come across? While
he came across in Texas And I'll pass it more specifically,
And these stories are really starting to stack up. I mean,
you mentioned that Governor Abbott designated Trende Aragua as a
(35:34):
terrorist organization, and that gives the States some more tools
to hopefully push back against this. But we continue to
see just how devastating this is. And a lot of
these people right have not come over just in the
last few weeks, the last months, but they've been coming
over for the last few years, and just now we're
starting to see the effects that that's having in cities
(35:55):
across the country.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
You know what's so interesting about this.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Besides Douglas Arizona, Al Passo was another, I mean, it
was one of the two cities that Kamala visited to
prove to the media that the border was safe. This
was back in I guess twenty twenty one, when Joe
Biden put her in charge of the border and she
earned the nickname Borders are not her official title, obviously,
So where did she go? She went to El Paso,
(36:19):
a big city that already had a border, and a
lot of people pointed out, well, that's not the most
dangerous place at the border. Nor is Douglas Arizona, the
place she visited more recently, which not surprisingly also as
a border barrier. But isn't it kind of amazing, Like
you just pointed out, both of these cases of Trende
Aragua gang members doing horrible things got into the country
(36:39):
through al Paso and Brandon. That's supposed to be one
of the safer cities at the border.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah, I mean, that's you know, if you want to
talk about where the problem is, you'd list off a
lot of areas like Eagle Pass, Del Rio, a lot
of spots along the Texas border before you get to
El Paso, simply for the fact that one, it's a
very populated area, so there's a lot of presents there,
police and otherwise, but also the fact that they've had
a border wall for quite some time in that part
(37:06):
of the sector. So Elpasso generally not considered one of
the more dangerous or one of the more porous border spots,
and yet that's exactly where this specific illegal alien came across.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
All right, let's talk a little bit about Attorney General
Ken Paxton and the role he is playing right now
in not only stopping illegal immigration at the border, but
stopping these people from voting. I don't remember earlier this summer,
not long ago, a month or two back, was announced
that Ken Paxton had removed literally six figure sum of voters,
hundreds of thousands of voters that were either dead or
(37:42):
had moved out of the state, and several thousand of
them were non citizens that actually we believe did vote
in recent elections. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden said, this is
voter suppression, horrible, right, But they're not supposed to be voting,
and it hasn't been proven that anybody that was supposed
to be eligible to vote somehow prevented from voting. And
Attorney General Ken Paxton is now pressing the Biden Harris
(38:04):
administration for access to citizenship data as part of his
ongoing efforts to investigate potential non citizen voters in Texas.
Why would the Biden administration want to prevent Ken Paxton
from figuring out if illegals are voting?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Brandon, Yeah, well I wonder why, right, But you know,
this is something that, as you mentioned, has been investigated
at Texas for quite some time now. In fact, just
recently last month, Attorney General Paxton pressed the Secretary of
the State, the Texas Secretary of State, that's Jane Nelson,
saying that she needed to verify this data. We have
(38:39):
people who are registered to vote who might be eligible
to vote, but we don't have a driver's license or
a state ID tied to those records, and so it
beggs some more investigation as to their citizenship status. She
sort of attempted to do that. Paxton said, you know,
and he wasn't satisfied with the way they were doing,
(39:00):
and so he's taken matters into his own hands. He's
directly appealing to the federal government to cross check that
data to make sure that there's not massive amounts of
non citizens on the voter rules that could potentially vote.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, I mean, come on, it seems pretty obvious to me.
And meanwhile, Texas is ban on paid vote harvesting is
back in effect for now. Ballot harvesting is legal in California,
but it's very illegal in Texas, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yes? And it's illegal not just because of this law
that specifically was struck down parts of it in court recently,
and then another court sort of reinstated it as it
makes its little you know, ping pong a way through
the courts. But there are other laws as well that
specifically state that, you know, you can't go and tell
(39:48):
somebody how to vote while they're filling out their ballot, right,
And it makes sense when you think about it in
terms of I always use as example, you couldn't walk
into a palling place, go to somebody who's you know,
filling out their ballot and start making the choices for them.
And yet there have been many cases where people have
done essentially this when it comes to mail in ballots,
(40:09):
where they've gone door to door, They've gone and you know,
grabbed grandma's mail ballot from the mailbox and start filling
it out for him and sending it out. And that
is what is illegal here, and that's what has been
you know, this court has said that that is illegal
for now that lock and stay in place, and that's
one of probably the biggest avenues for voter fraud.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, I mean, it seems so obvious to me.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
There are so many stories going back to Trendy Arragua
for a minute here about the gang, and so many
news stories on your website. I didn't realize you guys
actually had another story about a bunch of these guys
getting busted at an apartment complex in San Antonio. But
just tying all this together, as we get closer and
closer to the election, would would you be shocked to
learn not only are these Trendy Arragua guys in the state,
(40:54):
they could be voting.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Well, who's to say, right? This is this is why
the Attorney General is asking these questions, trying to get
to the bottom of this. We don't know, you know,
how many potential non citizen voters might be on the
voter roll, and that's why he's trying to get to
the bottom of this. So, you know, I don't want
to I don't want to make the assertion that this
(41:17):
is happening in massive numbers, but it is something that
needs to be addressed that people are going to have
faith in our election system heading into November.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
All right, before you go, quick question here, switching topics
for a minute. A lot of people may remember a
very historic moment in federal legislature and our former president
Donald Trump signing the Farm Bill a few years back.
It's hard to believe, but there was a point, I
don't know a decade eight years ago where you didn't
see CBD products in stores all over the country. Now
(41:47):
you see it everywhere thanks to Donald Trump. People kind
of forgot about that. But the Farm, Food and National
Security Act, that's the new Farm Bill, is something that
apparently one hundred and forty lawmakers, including a lot of
members of the Texas delegation, a lot of Texas lawmakers
are pushing for what exactly is it?
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Why is there a new farm bill?
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Well, the Farm Bill. The way these work, they expire
after five years. In fact, the Farm Bill that you're
talking about that was signed into law by President Trump
expired in twenty twenty three. They did a little bit
of an extension for a year, but that expired last month.
And so now you've got this group of lawmakers, including many,
if not most or all, of the Republican delegation from Texas,
(42:29):
urging Congress to pass this. You know, it's obviously it's
a big deal for farmers, for people who work in
the agriculture industry, and you've got Republicans from all coast
the state that are urging Congress to pass this.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Interesting. I had no idea, you know, I had a
question for you. As we're getting into the next election here,
I can't help but notice two guys, most of the
lawmakers around the state, including some of the lawmakers that
have co signed on this and supporting this, probably are
going to get reelected. A lot of the incumbents seem
to be getting re election this year. But I can't
help but notice that two guys, two incumbents live in
(43:06):
a district that could easily flip. One of them is
Tony Gonzalez, a famous rhino. The other is Henry Quaar,
who I think is being investigated right now, a Democrat
who's tough on the border being investigated for taking money
from overseas. I don't know if that sounds familiar, but
I'm not talking about the New York City mayor. I'm
talking about this guy. Do you see either of those
districts flipping this.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
November, Well, I think both of them are going to
be close. I think that, you know, this is obviously
one of those elections, especially with the presidential race at
the top of the ticket, that mean that people need
to go get out and vote. That Democrats are going
to put up their best efforts, and just by virtue
of having a ton of people out there voting, that
means that a lot of these races could be close.
(43:46):
But these congressional races or even frankly looking at the
you know, the Senate race with Ted Cruz and Colin already,
I think this underscore is why people need to get
out and vote.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Brandon Walton's Texas scorecard dot Com. I cannot stress this enough. Folks,
vote early. Brandon is so right about this. Don't just
vote on election day, vote early. You know, what happened
four years ago. Let's not repeat history. It's a smart idea.
In the meantime, Texas Scorecard dot Com has got a
