Speaker 1 (00:00):
Giganic government sucks. Suit of habbiness. Radio is DeLux. Liberty
and freedom will make you smile of a suit of
habbiness on your radio. Tol Justice cheeseburgers a Liberty fries
at the food of.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
One hundred thousand pounds Potentially tainted seafood products have just
been recalled. In related news, red Lobster will now only
serve soft drinks. Hry everybody. I'm Kenny Webster. You turned
on the radio. You're in a good spot. A lot
going on today, Jimmy Kimmel returning to late night tonight.
That won't affect you. You probably won't care about that.
(00:41):
I'm guessing DC Trado our special guest this afternoon. He's
got millions of followers on Twitter. He is part of
the New Right, and I got to hang out with
him last weekend at the Texas Youth Summit. We're gonna
find out what he thinks about Donald Trump going to
the UN today. We'll talk about that in just a minute.
Also stopping by this afternoon, our good friend Brandon Waltons
will be here from texasscorecard dot Com. We're gonna go
(01:04):
to Austin. It's gonna get weird, weirder than usual.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Stick around.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We'll get to all that. You know what, why don't
I just jump into it. Let's get to the story
of the UN. Did someone at the UN building in
New York decided to pull a little stunt on the
man known for riding golden escalators. Someone turned off the
escalator for Malania and Trump. The moment they stepped on it,
it stopped blaytant case a mild sabage. I thought it
was a very weird.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Thing to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
There's a video of it. We all reacted to it
live this morning. Donald Trump and his.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Hot wife and.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Everybody in the team Trump there walking inside the building.
They're about to take the escalator. Trump was not happy
about it, telling the UN Deputy Secretary General the escalator
just broke down with us in the middle of it.
She promised to fix it. I thought it was incredible, uh,
Donald Trump, Benflotis, that's Malania greeted by the UN Deputy
Secretary General. A mean jay Mohammed, you know the guy
(02:01):
in charge of the UN, Mohammed. You know Mohammed, the
guy that runs the UN. Obviously, his names Mohammad, obviously,
And that's not the only act to suspected sabotage of
the United Nations this morning. Not not that Mohammed would
sabotage anything, but obviously the escalator didn't work. As Trump
prepared to make a speech, it appeared the teleprompter just
so happened to stop working right as he got there.
(02:23):
Trump just walked up to the podium at the United
Nations and said, I don't mind making this speech without
a telet.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, i'll let him tell you go ahead. President, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Very much, little mike feedback, how much appreciated.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And I don't mind making all the speech without a
teleprompter because the teleprompter.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Is not walking the what is it the noise? Sorry,
it's really loved. This computer is making a lot of
noise right now. No wonder I was playing two soundbites
at once. That's why it was so noisy. Thrill of
live radio ladies and gentlemen. Let me get a mulligan
there on potus.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter
because the teleprompter is not working.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Sorry, it just sounded bad. I wanted to hear it
again anyway. Trump rolled with it, and I got some
of the highlights. I think this is some of the
best moments of his speech. Rain now here was one
of the funniest guys. I mean Trump just walking up there.
Whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble, said Donald Trump.
I thought that was a pretty funny thing for him
to say.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You speak more from the heart. I can only say
that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Everybody got a laugh. Trump's funny. Come on, President Trump.
He started off taking some swings at Europe. Take adocious way,
but it's true.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I've been right about everything, and I'm telling you that
if you don't get away from the green energy scam,
your country is going to fail. If you don't stop
people that you've never seen before, that you have nothing
in common with, your country is going to fail. I'm
the president of the United States, but I worry about Europe.
(04:11):
I love Europe. I love the people of Europe, and
I hate to see it being devastated by energy and immigration.
This double tailed monster destroys everything in its way, and
they cannot let that happen any longer. You're doing it
because you want to be nice, you want to be
politically correct, and you're destroying your heritage. They must take
(04:35):
control strongly and immediately of the unmitigated immigration disaster and
the fake energy.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You're destroying your heritage. That's Donald Trump telling Europe now.
To be fair, he wasn't right about everything he said.
He'd done that Russia war pretty quickly. The war did
not end quickly. The Russian War is still happening right now.
But you got to admit, guys, bat in ninety nine
percent here nine ninety nine right. I did love him
going after the global.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
The entire globalist concept of asking successful industrialized nations to
inflict pain on themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies
must be rejected completely and totally, and it must be immediate.
That's why in America I withdrew from the fake Paris
Climate Accord nice where by the way, America was paying
(05:21):
so much more than every country others weren't paying. China
didn't have to pay until twenty thirty. China Asha was
given an old standard that was easy to meet, nineteen
ninety standard, but for the United States were supposed to
pay like a trillion dollars. And I said, this is
(05:41):
another scamp. The fact is the United States has been
taken advantage of by the world for many, many years,
but not any longer. As you probably noticed, I unleashed
massive energy production and scient historic executive orders to hunt
for oil. But we don't have to do much hunting
because we have the most oil of any nation anywhere,
(06:03):
oil and gas in the world, and if you d coal,
we have the most of any nation in the world. Clean.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
By the way, you understand, most of these wars started
because we stopped drilling for oil. Israel, Russia, I mean,
you name it, guys, what do you want kind of
cowardly nonsense? Is this where we're not going to drill
for oil and then we're going to complain that Petro
states are starting to fund terrorism and attack their neighboring countries.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Will surprise. Trump called out.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Europe at the UN for allowing unrestricted mass immigration.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people,
and I encourage all countries to take their own stand
in defense of their citizens as well.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You have to do that because I see it. I'm
not mentioning names.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I see it, and I could call every single one
of them.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You're destroying your countries.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
They're being destroyed.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Europe is in serious trouble.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like
nobody's ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe.
Nobody is ever and nobody's doing anything to change it.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
To get many such cases, many such cases. Trump slammed
the United Nations for bankrolling an assault on Western civilization
through mass illegal immigration.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Not only is the.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it's
actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best
example is the number one political issue of our time,
the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It's uncontrolled.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Your countries are being ruined.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries
and their borders. In twenty twenty four, the UN budgeted
three hundred and seventy two million dollars in cash assistance
to support an estimated six hundred and twenty four thousand
miss journeying into the United States. Think of that, the
(08:04):
UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the
United States, and then we have to get him out.
The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards
to illegal aliens. Can you believe that, by the way,
to infiltrate our southern border.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, I actually can't believe that. Stick around, folks. DC
Draino coming up in just a little bit. If you're
on AX, you know who this guy is.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
According to a new report, exaggerated statements are up by
like billion percent and now more of the highest rated
show on radio, Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Charlie Sheen due to his massive consumption. It's in his
new book. I guess he was snorting cocaine at the
rate of two and a half men. Just amazing how
he did that. Hi, welcome back everybody. If you were
with us last weekend at the Texas Youth Summit, you
probably heard a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You heard that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Tomorrow myself and Atorney General Ken Paxton will be holding
a rally in the Spring Branch area to support high
school students who were docked by some local leftist nutjobs.
Some mother from She's apparently we looked up this woman online.
She docksed a bunch of high school kids for trying
to start a Turning Point USA chapter. And she's a
(09:19):
foreigner from Belgium who works for UNISEF. I mean, that's
just the rough estimate of what I understood about her
from reading online.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
So you heard us talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Ken Paxton and I were there but closing out the
evening late Saturday afternoon. One of the most fascinating people
in our industry. If you stuck around and you heard
him talk, you got quite a treat. DC Dreno is
one of the most effective young voices in the new
right conservative movement on social media. He's an activist, he
(09:48):
is a lawyer. He has a loud voice. His real
name is Rogan o'hanley, and he lives in the Gulf
Coast of America.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Just like we do.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I asked him if he'd be a guest on the show.
He agreed to call in. He gave us some time
this afternoon. And do you like to be called DC
or Rogan?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
What do people call you? I always know you as
D C. Draino, but your name is Rogan, right.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Yeah, I respond to both equally. I don't know how
that happened, but it just did. And DC Draino stands
for draining the DC swamp. It's my it was my
secret alias that I used to post memes.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
On Instagram when I was still a.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Hollywood entertainment attorney living a double life in LA until
I decided to do this full time in tropical Texas
the Free State of Florida starting in twenty seventeen, so
I've been doing about eight years now.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
You are a really important part of the New Right.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You and guys like Alex brusawaitz your your younger conservatives
have helped move Basically you guys participated in the Great
Memoirs of twenty sixteen, twenty twenty and twenty twenty four.
No Presidential Medal of Freedom for US meme war fighters, unfortunately.
But you're known on the Internet by millions of people,
But in real life you're just a seemingly normal, average guy.
(11:01):
What's what's that like navigating those two worlds at the
same time.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
It is the way I like it, Kenny, let me
tell you so. So let me first start by saying,
thank you for calling me one of the young voices.
I did just turn forty, so yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
but yeah, so so thank you for that. And and
let me just say you guys listening. Kenny is a
(11:26):
really good public speaker. I know he's on radio. But
not only did he you know, get a lot of
laughs and a lot of applause that his speech of
the Texas youth.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
So but the guy is probably.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
One of the few voices on radio that actually has
a face for TV. Is a handsome man. So, you know,
it's tough, tough to follow that act, I'll say that,
but yeah, no, it's it's I believe that memes are
the most effective form of mass communication. Think of how
many times per day someone sends.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
You a text with a meme or a link.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
To a social media post or DMS you, I say,
everyone of all ages gets that right and and that's
the power, that's the viral power of social media messaging.
And so that's that's what I do. And And although
I am known by quite a few people on social media,
I you know, don't do a lot of TV news hits.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
These days, I've done hundreds. I like to keep up
because frankly, I like.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
My quality of life.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
And as much as you know, I enjoyed doing what
I do, I do it so that we can fight
to have a good country and so that we can
all enjoy peaceful lives. Not you know, I'm not necessarily
just the politics for the sake of politics. Guy.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You know you so you're like a very relatable guy
in real life, and then on the Internet you have
this larger than life personality. Obviously, right up until a
couple of weeks ago, uh Rogan, I never felt unsafe
doing this for a living. It never it never concerned
me to tell people what, you know, where at what
gym I go to, or what comedy club would be
at that weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And now I'm not sure. I don't. I don't know
if I feel the same way.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
What about you, I certainly don't.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
I think, you know, I was telling people this year
something changed, and the first thing I realized is that influencers,
people with you know, big maga voices were almost treated
with more scrutiny than politicians themselves.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Like the biggest battles.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
On X you see, are mostly between influencers and what
influencers do. And you you know, we have four to
thirty five members of Congress and rarely are they ever
the subject of conversation unless they vote against, you know,
a popular bill. So that was interesting. And then also,
you know, unfortunately the radical left has deemed that also
(13:44):
to be true, and They just took out our most
powerful voice besides President Trump himself.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Charlie Mayhey.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Rest in Peace was one of the hardest working, most inspirational,
influential powerhouses in our movement. And you know, it was
a very strategic takeout. That is a huge blow to
a movement, and it's galvanized us and it's inspired so
many people to get involved.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
But yeah, that's serious.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
So you know, don't announce public travel plans in advance
unless you know you're going to have security. Always carry
a gun, I do, and you know, take precautionary steps
to make it at least somewhat difficult for them to
find you, you know, hiding your address from public records,
things like that.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I mean, that's that's.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
The cost of fighting for freedom. Freedom is not free,
it never has been.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Man well said, perfectly explained on that note, you actually
tipped me off to this news story just broke just
shortly before we got on the air this afternoon. The
Secret surveys photographed showing servers and simcards from New York City.
They're calling it a telecommunications threat. This is remarkable. I mean,
this just happened. So I don't know how big of
a news story it's going to be, but the US
(14:58):
Service dismantling and and telecommussion communications throughout in New York
City should be one of the biggest news stories of
the day, if not Donald Trump at the UN What
exactly does this mean? What do you think happened here?
And what could the consequences have been if we hadn't
stopped it.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
I think this is one of the biggest criminal justice
victories that Trump's administration has had. I think they just dismantled, uncovered,
and dismantled a digital nuke. And that's what I think
we're dealing with here. So they found three hundred SIM
(15:33):
servers and over one hundred thousand SIM cards connected to
these SIM servers at multiple sites across New York City
that they believe could only be installed by a foreign government.
And when you see the pictures of this stuff, it
looks like you're looking at, you know, a Dell computer
server room. I mean this and this was just in
(15:53):
a random New York City apartment. They found this stuff.
The Secret Service did in connection with their investigation into
swatting calls. So you remember a lot of people were
getting swat teams called in their house. People on the
left hand, the right, frankly mostly the right, and it
was actually coming from overseas. I believe it was Romania
and they were largely untraceable. But this is huge, this setup.
(16:18):
It was well funded. They said it's capable of sending
thirty million text messages per minute that could have disabled
cell towers, jammed emergency call centers, and shut down the
entire cellular grid. This was being built, I believe as
part of a larger terrorist or asymmetrical warfare attack.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Isn't it incredible When we stop something like this, it's
a footnote in the news, but when it actually happens, boy,
I mean, it has a totally different effect on how
the media reacts to it. You know, it's a similar
thing happening today. What were you about to say.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Well, no, I mean and say they launched this attack, right,
you take down the cellular or the internet grid and
your city or other places, then you could easily go
in and have someone disassemble this stuff and ship it out.
They would have never even seen it, right, you'd never
be able to find it.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I mean, this they really prevented.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
A lot of catastrophe and as we've seen with you know,
our elections, and you know, the bad guys like to
launch funny business near election time. We got the midterms
next year, and you know, the last thing we want
is some type of grid takedown. And the thing is
there might be more of these. Right, this does not
look that complicated. I mean, it's very advanced. It's expensive,
(17:32):
but it really wasn't that much and you can just
rent a random apartment and have this stuff kind of
sitting there in lying in Wait.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, I mean, it's really incredible how close we came
to a major disaster here. And I doubt they think.
I doubt Trump gets the credit he deserves. But to
that point, he's out. He's in New York City today,
he's out talking at the UN. I'm sure you watched
some of that speech and kind of like how the
UN funded Greta Thunberg, they funded, you know, the eco extremes.
(18:00):
Apparently they also fund illegal immigration, and you have been
a big voice to help to call them out on this,
which I think is very necessary.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Can you speak to that a little bit.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Yeah, So, we recently learned that the UN provided over
three hundred and seventy two million dollars almost half a
billion to help illegal aliens invade and resettle in our country. Right,
and this was part of their official budgets. They provided food, shelter, transportation,
(18:31):
debit cards. Obviously we saw it with the Biden regime.
They were reallocating COVID funds, reallocating FEMA funds, billions of
dollars to help finance this invasion of our country. Right,
and the UN is involved. This is a global movement
(18:51):
against first world Western countries.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
They're flooding our border.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
With third world is because they want to make they
want to dilute the vote of citizens there. They want
to usher in, you know, third world socialism. So, in
my opinion, the UN is not our ally, I think
we should defund the UN. There should be consequences for this.
They intentionally contributed to the invasion of our country. There
(19:18):
needs to be severe consequences.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, isn't it amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
We have to pay for everything all the time constantly,
the gh Summit, you know, the UN. Of course, we
have to pay for that, and then these organizations seem
to be against us constantly. It's the same thing with
all these subsidized companies in Silicon Valley. Taxpayers have to
shill out tons of money to companies like Apple and Google, Alphabet, Facebook, Meta,
(19:44):
they get huge billion dollar subsidies. We don't get a
cut of their profits. And there is some good news
on that note today. I was thrilled to see this.
Google is going to reinstate some of the banned YouTube
accounts that were censored for having mainstream right wing opinions.
And this news comes to us courtesy of the House
Judiciary Committee. I can't help but wonder if this once
(20:04):
again elections of consequences. This would probably not be happening
if not for the fact that a majority of Americans
seem to now agree with us.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Rogan, do you see it the same way?
Speaker 8 (20:14):
One hundred percent?
Speaker 7 (20:15):
And you know, I read the letter from Google's law firm,
King and Spaulding detailing the settlements basically, and they they
blame the Biden regime entirely.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
There. They said they.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Were receiving massive pressure to suspend and censor conservative voices,
even voices that didn't necessarily.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Violate their policies.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
And when you have a you know, multi trillion dollar
government apparatus breathing down your neck, it's it's, as Pablo
Escobar used to say, you know, silver or lead. Uh,
you can do this the easy way and you'll continue
to make lots of money, or you can do this
the hard way, and we're going to get our way
no matter what. So uh yeah, Google, Google and you
(20:59):
tube are bringing back suspended voices who violated the COVID
nineteen and twenty twenty election integrity policies. Obviously five years later,
not much consolation. But of course those are almost all
conservative voices, and so now we have conservative voices being
brought back on Twitter, X and YouTube, and I think
(21:21):
the last remaining stronghold of censorship.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Is Meta and Instagram.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
There are a lot of voices banned Alex Jones or
Lumer Milo who deserved to be brought back and have
their accounts restored on Instagram and Facebook and so many others.
Ten I'm sure people listening to this have had their
accounts suspended on Facebook for daring to question the twenty
twenty elections.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
So bring everyone back.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh yeah, many of us. You're talking to somebody that
was right now. It's amazing how bad it was. We
had a half a million followers and then one day
it was like it was like shutting off a faucet.
One day we'd post a meme, it would get ten
thousand shares. The next day we'd ask a question and
there'd be five responses right like, and it was all
after the twenty twenty election. We've gone long on this segment,
but I'd love to just get one more in, one
(22:04):
more question before we run here. One hundred and seven
days is the name of the new Kamala Harris book.
I think it's unlikely it will have one hundred and
seven readers.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Supposedly in the books, she throws.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Hand grenades figuratively speaking at Joe Biden, JB. Pritzker, Gavin Newsom.
What do you think she's attempting to do here with
this book? And is this the last we hear from her?
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Well, I think she's trying to smooth out some of
the wrinkles of what she did in terms of organizing
a soft coup. I think she's trying to blame people
for why she lost. And I think she's trying to
prepare herself for a twenty twenty eight run in the
(22:45):
next presidential election. So you know, I remember, the biggest
thing I got centered on in the lead up to
the twenty to twenty four election was saying that Tamala.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Overthrew Joe Biden.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
It was a soft coup.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
The fact checkers jumped on me instantly, This is not
us off cu she by the you know, rules and
regulations that the DNC secured that nomination. I'm like, yeah,
without a single vote. I mean, you know, you go
back to Hillary Clinton and Obama and Bernie, right, Hillary
versus Bernie.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
She stole it from Bernie, like even.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Bernie would admit that.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
And now they don't even have the illusion of elections.
They just you know, overthrew the dementia guy while he
was taken a nast And you know, I can only
imagine that's what the book is about, but I personally
won't be reading it and look forward to not knowing
anything further about it.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, there's nothing democratic about the Democrats. Amazingly, the same
political party that had the super delegate system where some
votes are more important than others. Rogan o'hanley is his name.
You can find him on ex DC Dreno. A fantastic American,
one of the best. If you don't have him in
your news feed, your news feed could definitely be better.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Obviously, we went wrong on this interview. Rogan. We really
appreciate your time this afternoon.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Brother.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Thank you, Kenny, great job and good to meet you
past weekend.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
My man, Texas Scorecard coming up in just a little
bit with Brandon Walton stick around.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Our doctor told us the pills we took were just
a placebo, but he must not know what he's talking about, because, man,
those suckers worked. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Welcome back, Brandon Waltons from Texas Scorecard dot Com.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Has been rescheduled for tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
He was supposed to be joining us right now, but
he'll be back tomorrow and that's okay. We're replacing him
with a guest. Another guest, Holly Hanson. Just as good
as a journalist, but she's prettier. No offense, Brandon, No
offense or do I mean offense? Actually, Brandon will be
joining us tomorrow for this event.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
We're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
It's City Center tomorrow night, well tomorrow evening, starting at
six thirty pm. There's a place in city center here
in Houston called the Moran City Center, the Moran Hotel MLRAN.
Get there at six point thirty tomorrow. We will be
rallying for the right for young Americans to have a
Turning Point USA chapter in Spring Branch. She's probably wondering
why they don't have one hour, what would be preventing them?
(25:11):
What turns out the vice president of the Spring Branch
Democrats club doxed them. It appears purportedly docks them, and
she is seemingly wiping her own social media footprint After
news of her dosing the TPUSA students went viral on
social media last week, Moms for Liberty in Harris County
posted screenshots of a woman named Natalie listing the names
(25:32):
and info of Spring Branch ISD students who were wanting
to start They wanted to start a TPUSA chapter. They
were inspired by Charlie Kirk, and she appeared to justify
the reasons behind Charlie Kirk's murder in some of her
social media posts, TACKI I know her motive for doxing
the SBISD students seems centered on preventing them from starting
a TPUSA chapter. She also called another leftist parents to
(25:55):
launch an email campaign targeting teachers who agreed to sponsor
the club. So Attorney General Ken Paxton's office called me yesterday.
Over the weekend, they called me, and then yesterday they
confirmed we're going to have an event to defend these
students and you can join us for that.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
We hope you will be there.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Seemingly, all of the attention has caused this woman and
the Spring Branch Democrats to begin clearing her social media footprint,
possibly to avoid people doxing her and the organization she
is the vice president of. Isn't that ironic? The Spring
Branch Democrat Club has fully removed any reference of her
from their website. Previously, the Spring Branch Democrat website listed
(26:32):
her page as follows. Natalie herpins pronouns or she her
she That's the first thing they tell you, what garbage?
Oh are those your pronouns?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
You know?
Speaker 7 (26:43):
She knows.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
She's a foreigner too, like the nerve of this woman.
She's from Belgium. Apparently, from what we could tell, you
moved to America so you could watch ruin our country.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You don't like it here?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Look, I know this sounds cliche, but why don't you
go back where you came from?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Lady?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Anyway, there's a description here. Ever, she is a background
in the nonprofit sector. I guess she works at UNISEF. Anyway,
they scrubbed any existence, took her down. Current Revolt dot
Com attempted to reach out with her, with no response
from the publication. Now, when you click on her profile
on the Spring Branch Democrats Club, it says oops four
oh four. Someone in the comments section said, oops is right. Mentally,
(27:23):
every Democrat is a twelve year old. Their ability to
critically think and reason is severely stunted. This woman probably
saw them as her peers. She thought these high school
kids were her equals, or they're just elite compared to
her in terms of intelligence. And she recognized that, and
so she had to stop these kids from getting You
know the irony of all this.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
These are high school kids, right high school.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Some of them might have stuck around and continue to
be involved in the club, some of them might have
lost interest in a week or two.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
By doing this, she has made sure that these young
men and women will be Republicans for the rest of
their lives. By trying to prevent them from starting this club,
they will probably become more determined than ever. I'm very
excited to go out tomorrow at six thirty pm at
City Center and rally with them.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
I'd never listening to you all again.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But Suit of Happiness Radio, a Virginia woman donated her
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars Powerball prize to charity.
I'd like to think I do the same thing. I wouldn't,
but i'd like to think I would.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
HI.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Welcome back from break everybody. Okay, so let's talk about
crime in Texas for just a moment. It affects you,
It matters, Isn't it frustrating? How you could be a
victim of crime. You could know a lot of people
that are victims of crime, and then along comes somebody
on the fire left. They'll go, you know, crime's down.
Oh that makes it better. Oh, thank you. I guess
I won't miss my catalytic converter. Oh is crime down?
(28:55):
I guess my stab wound doesn't hurt as much anymore.
Thanks for letting me know that if crime is absurdly
high and then it dropped down just a little bit,
we haven't solved the problem.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
With all that being said, back in June, Governor Abbot
signed a bail reform package, Ball reform was a dirty
word for a while, or phrase or term or whatever
you'd describe it as.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
For a while, bail reform was bad, and then once
it came to be normal that we didn't really have
bail anymore. We just let the dangerous criminals out willy nilly.
Then bail reform the definition of that term it changed. Suddenly,
it meant now we're gonna have bail again. We're reforming it.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Get it.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Governor Abbot signed into law what he described as the
strongest bail reform package in Texas history at Crime Stoppers
of Houston back in June.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And so that's that, we've got bail now. Now we'll keep.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Dangerous criminals in jail or prison unless they can come
up with one hundred thousand dollars or whatever it is
for their murder charge, right, Holly.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
End of discussion. Holly Hanson at the Texan Down News.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Not exactly.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Yeah close, I suppose. Yeah, Well, that's a little more
complicated than that. Harris County actually operates under a federal
consent to Cree and it doesn't apply to murder, but
it does require that most misdemeanor suspects must be released
without being forced to pay any cash bail. The problem
(30:18):
is that Texas did pass that bail reform package that
you reference. Governor Abbott signed that into law, and part
of that.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
He signed line he came here to sign it.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
That's correct, And part of that package says that you
can't give a pr bond for certain offenses. And some
of those offenses include unlawful possession of a weapon, violation
of family violence protective orders, or making a terroristic threat,
and all of those are misdemeanors. So what's happening now
(30:53):
is you've got the attorneys who filed that lawsuit that's
kind of governed Harris County's miss i mean or bail
practices for the past few years. Now they're saying that
if judges or magistrates in Harris County comply with the
new state law, they could be found in contempt of
court for not following the federal consent decree that has
(31:17):
been imposed on Harris County. And in fact, if they
are found in contempt of court, they could face fines
or even a criminal offense. So it's a pretty serious matter.
The situation is a little more complicated. We did see
Attorney General Ken paths in a final emotion not too
long ago to intervene. In this case, he is working
(31:41):
legally to try to lift that consent decree, and by
all rights, it probably should be lifted, because the case
that established that consent decree was overturned in twenty twenty
three by an appeals court and pretty much affirmed by
the Supreme Court of the United States. But still Harris
(32:02):
County is grappling with this consent decree. So it does
again mandate that most of these misdemeanor suspects, regardless of
the charges, must be released without cash.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Fail.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
It also stipulates that the county has to spend quite
a bit of money for a federal monitor and for
services for criminal defendants, So it does cost the county
quite a bit of money in addition to imposing certain
rules on the way they handle fail.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
But other than that, how is the play, Missus Lincoln?
Speaker 9 (32:36):
It was excellent? Excellent, I mean, I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Come on, what was the point of all that? So
now the criminals they still win. Now the leftist agitators,
the nut jobs that were defending criminal they still get
their way. Nothing, we didn't. We didn't get a victory.
After all, it feels like it's very frustrating.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Well, I don't think it's all said and done yet.
I think what we're going to see here over the
next few weeks is a legal battle over which has precedent,
is that this federal consent decree that was imposed by
Harris County Commissioner's Court and a district court excuse me,
a federal district court judge in Houston, or the state law.
(33:15):
And keep in mind that the federal consent to cree
even though a local judge Houston judge approved it, it
was not approved by the appeals court, and in fact,
that case was overturned. So it's a very interesting legal conundrum.
In my opinion. I think in the end that the
federal courts are going to frown upon this and they're
(33:38):
going to let the state law over override what that
federal consent to creed does.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
All right, let's talk for a minute about the last
district attorney race in Texas. Sean Tierre and Kim Ogg obviously,
and whoever the Republican candidate was, nobody can remember. And
so Sean Sean won. Sean's the guy on the fire left. Obviously,
we lost. Kim Ogg kim Ogg is kind of like like,
don't know what you got till it's gone. I remember
not wanting her to be the district attorney, and now
(34:03):
we'd long for the days when we had kim Ogg.
Sean Tierre is, I mean, he loves all these far
left policies. He's a friend to the defense attorneys obviously,
and weirdly enough, he praised Crime Stoppers for their victims
support efforts. This week, Harris County District Attorney addresses Houston
homicide victims at memorial event. Not the kind of guy
(34:24):
you'd expect to show up at this event, Holly. It's
kind of like inviting Scrooge to Christmas. It's not a
guest you'd expect to see there.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Well, you know, it was really interesting that he came,
and I believe he was invited to give the kind
of the keynote remarks at this event. And Crime Stoppers
has this event every year where they honor these victims.
They have kind of a memorial service for all of
our murder victims. This year's ceremony included over seven hundred
(34:53):
names as people who'd been murdered in Harris County over
the past few years. But tier you know, he it's
interesting he did defeat Kim Ogg, a fellow Democrat, in
the Democratic primary. Democrats were very upset with Og because
she was not as far left as they liked. That
she did not embrace some of their bail reform initiatives,
(35:17):
and she was also willing to prosecute or investigate members
of her own party in office, including Harris County Judge
Lena Hidalgo's staff, and so you know, she got crossways.
But Sean Tierr, you know, he actually got one point
five million dollars from the criminal justice reform advocate George Soros,
(35:38):
which I'm sure a lot of your listeners know who
he is. But he took those millions to defeat Ogg,
and he has, you know, voice support for a lot
of these far left kind of policy initiatives. But when
he was there in front of those victims, he acknowledged that,
you know, crime Stoppers is doing great work, and he
(36:00):
said they were the front lines for the support that
the DA's office in the county sometimes cannot give. And
that's really interesting because we've had some Democrats in Harris
County be very critical of crime Stoppers of Houston, crime
Stoppers of Houston has been so vocal about the crime
(36:21):
that's happening in our area. And you know, it's interesting.
One of the state senators out of Harris County in
the Houston area was in town for some event. She
was at that memorial event and the next day, before
she and her husband left town, someone broke into their
car and stole their suitcases and all of their possessions
(36:45):
that were in the back of the car. So, you know,
you mentioned that crime is down, but there's some questions
about the way crime is reported, the way it's prosecuted.
You know, it's really there's a lot of discretion given
to the local criminal justice.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I had to interrupt you there.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
But if they say crime is down nationally, I thought
it was up in Houston, which is this is the
one place where you would not expect it to be up.
Considering who our mayor currently is, he actually cares about
the problem. Am I wrong about that? I don't have
the latest data in front of me, but that's.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
What I've told you, so just to clarify, you know,
the facts are that the Houston Police earlier this year,
reporting on twenty twenty four, noted that violent crime is
actually up even though homicides are down, so you know,
we saw an increase in some things like oh gosh,
human trafficking and rape and aggravated assault. Those have risen,
(37:44):
at least according to the twenty twenty four stats. It
takes a while to really get accurate statistics. In fact,
the federal databases don't consider them complete until eighteen months
after the year has ended. So I think it remains
to be seen when and where it's falling. I think
(38:06):
a lot of people are very pleased with the Houston
Marria jeohn Witmeyer, who has really supported law enforcement and
cracking down on crime. He is part of the I
guess you might say more moderate Democrats in the area.
And they may not be moderate on everything, but when
it comes to crime public safety, you know, they're pretty
(38:29):
vocally aligned with a lot of the community that's worried
about crime. It is tend to be a biparisan issue,
you know. On the other hand, you see a lot
of you know, left wing tendencies from Whitmyer and came
on for that matter, But when it comes to crime
and public safety, they're very vocal about the need to
(38:50):
protect the community.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
All Right, average liberals in the loop early mad right now,
wit Meyer for getting rid of a bike lane that
nobody was using. I'm not for putting in more bike lanes.
I will be objective in call balls and strikes on this,
even though I don't like them. It doesn't really make
sense to take them out. That seems expensive and the
grand scheme of things. It's a pretty minor thing, but
(39:13):
it's made him somewhat unpopular with the inner city Democrats.
Is John Whitmyer going to be like kim ogug You know,
we didn't necessarily want another Democrat, but when he leaves,
they'll just replace him with someone worse. I'm asking Holly
the voter in Civilia, not Holly the journalist, what's your
prediction there.
Speaker 10 (39:30):
You know, it's interesting that you bring that out because
one of the rumors that's floating around out there is
that since Harris County Judge Lena has all go is
not running for reelection as county judge, where you know,
she has become very unpopular, she is possibly considering running against.
Speaker 9 (39:49):
Whitmyer in twenty twenty seven. So that would be an
example of someone much more left leaning replacing Whitmyer. And
as far as as bike paths go. I think the
problem with them wasn't the bike paths themselves, but was
that they correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
(40:10):
they took away some of the traffic lanes and for
for motor vehicles. And concern was that, you know, you've
you've further flattled traffic for lanes that maybe weren't being
used as much. So yeah, there's a big debate about,
you know, whether or not that was the right thing
to do. But I think Wittmeier he approached these things
(40:35):
pretty thoughtfully. He's not going to be, I don't know
how you would describe it a kind of knee jerk progressive,
although he is progressive on a wire array of issues.
But he is concerned about the city spending in in
public safety and and whether or not some of the
things that were done in the previous administration made sense.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
We got to run. That is Holly Hanson. Follow her
on x at Holly S. Hansen.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
You can find her work the Texan Dot News. I'm
Kenny R. Webster and I will see you all tomorrow.
Meet us at six thirty pm at City Center as
we protest for the right for high school kids to
start a Turning Point USA Chapter.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
You'all have a great afternoon. I love you. You are listening to.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
The Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
Giganic government sucks. Suit of habbiness. Radio is DeLux. Liberty
and freedom will make you smile of a suit of
habbiness on your radio. Tol Justice cheeseburgers a Liberty fries
at the food of.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
One hundred thousand pounds Potentially tainted seafood products have just
been recalled. In related news, red Lobster will now only
serve soft drinks. Hry everybody. I'm Kenny Webster. You turned
on the radio. You're in a good spot. A lot
going on today, Jimmy Kimmel returning to late night tonight.
That won't affect you. You probably won't care about that.
(00:41):
I'm guessing DC Trado our special guest this afternoon. He's
got millions of followers on Twitter. He is part of
the New Right, and I got to hang out with
him last weekend at the Texas Youth Summit. We're gonna
find out what he thinks about Donald Trump going to
the UN today. We'll talk about that in just a minute.
Also stopping by this afternoon, our good friend Brandon Waltons
will be here from texasscorecard dot Com. We're gonna go
(01:04):
to Austin. It's gonna get weird, weirder than usual.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Stick around.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We'll get to all that. You know what, why don't
I just jump into it. Let's get to the story
of the UN. Did someone at the UN building in
New York decided to pull a little stunt on the
man known for riding golden escalators. Someone turned off the
escalator for Malania and Trump. The moment they stepped on it,
it stopped blaytant case a mild sabage. I thought it
was a very weird.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Thing to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
There's a video of it. We all reacted to it
live this morning. Donald Trump and his.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Hot wife and.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Everybody in the team Trump there walking inside the building.
They're about to take the escalator. Trump was not happy
about it, telling the UN Deputy Secretary General the escalator
just broke down with us in the middle of it.
She promised to fix it. I thought it was incredible, uh,
Donald Trump, Benflotis, that's Malania greeted by the UN Deputy
Secretary General. A mean jay Mohammed, you know the guy
(02:01):
in charge of the UN, Mohammed. You know Mohammed, the
guy that runs the UN. Obviously, his names Mohammad, obviously,
And that's not the only act to suspected sabotage of
the United Nations this morning. Not not that Mohammed would
sabotage anything, but obviously the escalator didn't work. As Trump
prepared to make a speech, it appeared the teleprompter just
so happened to stop working right as he got there.
(02:23):
Trump just walked up to the podium at the United
Nations and said, I don't mind making this speech without
a telet.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, i'll let him tell you go ahead. President, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Very much, little mike feedback, how much appreciated.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And I don't mind making all the speech without a
teleprompter because the teleprompter.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Is not walking the what is it the noise? Sorry,
it's really loved. This computer is making a lot of
noise right now. No wonder I was playing two soundbites
at once. That's why it was so noisy. Thrill of
live radio ladies and gentlemen. Let me get a mulligan
there on potus.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter
because the teleprompter is not working.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Sorry, it just sounded bad. I wanted to hear it
again anyway. Trump rolled with it, and I got some
of the highlights. I think this is some of the
best moments of his speech. Rain now here was one
of the funniest guys. I mean Trump just walking up there.
Whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble, said Donald Trump.
I thought that was a pretty funny thing for him
to say.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You speak more from the heart. I can only say
that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Everybody got a laugh. Trump's funny. Come on, President Trump.
He started off taking some swings at Europe. Take adocious way,
but it's true.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I've been right about everything, and I'm telling you that
if you don't get away from the green energy scam,
your country is going to fail. If you don't stop
people that you've never seen before, that you have nothing
in common with, your country is going to fail. I'm
the president of the United States, but I worry about Europe.
(04:11):
I love Europe. I love the people of Europe, and
I hate to see it being devastated by energy and immigration.
This double tailed monster destroys everything in its way, and
they cannot let that happen any longer. You're doing it
because you want to be nice, you want to be
politically correct, and you're destroying your heritage. They must take
(04:35):
control strongly and immediately of the unmitigated immigration disaster and
the fake energy.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You're destroying your heritage. That's Donald Trump telling Europe now.
To be fair, he wasn't right about everything he said.
He'd done that Russia war pretty quickly. The war did
not end quickly. The Russian War is still happening right now.
But you got to admit, guys, bat in ninety nine
percent here nine ninety nine right. I did love him
going after the global.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
The entire globalist concept of asking successful industrialized nations to
inflict pain on themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies
must be rejected completely and totally, and it must be immediate.
That's why in America I withdrew from the fake Paris
Climate Accord nice where by the way, America was paying
(05:21):
so much more than every country others weren't paying. China
didn't have to pay until twenty thirty. China Asha was
given an old standard that was easy to meet, nineteen
ninety standard, but for the United States were supposed to
pay like a trillion dollars. And I said, this is
(05:41):
another scamp. The fact is the United States has been
taken advantage of by the world for many, many years,
but not any longer. As you probably noticed, I unleashed
massive energy production and scient historic executive orders to hunt
for oil. But we don't have to do much hunting
because we have the most oil of any nation anywhere,
(06:03):
oil and gas in the world, and if you d coal,
we have the most of any nation in the world. Clean.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
By the way, you understand, most of these wars started
because we stopped drilling for oil. Israel, Russia, I mean,
you name it, guys, what do you want kind of
cowardly nonsense? Is this where we're not going to drill
for oil and then we're going to complain that Petro
states are starting to fund terrorism and attack their neighboring countries.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Will surprise. Trump called out.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Europe at the UN for allowing unrestricted mass immigration.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people,
and I encourage all countries to take their own stand
in defense of their citizens as well.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You have to do that because I see it. I'm
not mentioning names.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I see it, and I could call every single one
of them.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You're destroying your countries.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
They're being destroyed.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Europe is in serious trouble.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like
nobody's ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe.
Nobody is ever and nobody's doing anything to change it.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
To get many such cases, many such cases. Trump slammed
the United Nations for bankrolling an assault on Western civilization
through mass illegal immigration.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Not only is the.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it's
actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best
example is the number one political issue of our time,
the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It's uncontrolled.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Your countries are being ruined.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries
and their borders. In twenty twenty four, the UN budgeted
three hundred and seventy two million dollars in cash assistance
to support an estimated six hundred and twenty four thousand
miss journeying into the United States. Think of that, the
(08:04):
UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the
United States, and then we have to get him out.
The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards
to illegal aliens. Can you believe that, by the way,
to infiltrate our southern border.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, I actually can't believe that. Stick around, folks. DC
Draino coming up in just a little bit. If you're
on AX, you know who this guy is.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
According to a new report, exaggerated statements are up by
like billion percent and now more of the highest rated
show on radio, Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Charlie Sheen due to his massive consumption. It's in his
new book. I guess he was snorting cocaine at the
rate of two and a half men. Just amazing how
he did that. Hi, welcome back everybody. If you were
with us last weekend at the Texas Youth Summit, you
probably heard a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You heard that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Tomorrow myself and Atorney General Ken Paxton will be holding
a rally in the Spring Branch area to support high
school students who were docked by some local leftist nutjobs.
Some mother from She's apparently we looked up this woman online.
She docksed a bunch of high school kids for trying
to start a Turning Point USA chapter. And she's a
(09:19):
foreigner from Belgium who works for UNISEF. I mean, that's
just the rough estimate of what I understood about her
from reading online.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
So you heard us talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Ken Paxton and I were there but closing out the
evening late Saturday afternoon. One of the most fascinating people
in our industry. If you stuck around and you heard
him talk, you got quite a treat. DC Dreno is
one of the most effective young voices in the new
right conservative movement on social media. He's an activist, he
(09:48):
is a lawyer. He has a loud voice. His real
name is Rogan o'hanley, and he lives in the Gulf
Coast of America.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Just like we do.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I asked him if he'd be a guest on the show.
He agreed to call in. He gave us some time
this afternoon. And do you like to be called DC
or Rogan?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
What do people call you? I always know you as
D C. Draino, but your name is Rogan, right.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Yeah, I respond to both equally. I don't know how
that happened, but it just did. And DC Draino stands
for draining the DC swamp. It's my it was my
secret alias that I used to post memes.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
On Instagram when I was still a.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Hollywood entertainment attorney living a double life in LA until
I decided to do this full time in tropical Texas
the Free State of Florida starting in twenty seventeen, so
I've been doing about eight years now.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
You are a really important part of the New Right.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You and guys like Alex brusawaitz your your younger conservatives
have helped move Basically you guys participated in the Great
Memoirs of twenty sixteen, twenty twenty and twenty twenty four.
No Presidential Medal of Freedom for US meme war fighters, unfortunately.
But you're known on the Internet by millions of people,
But in real life you're just a seemingly normal, average guy.
(11:01):
What's what's that like navigating those two worlds at the
same time.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
It is the way I like it, Kenny, let me
tell you so. So let me first start by saying,
thank you for calling me one of the young voices.
I did just turn forty, so yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
but yeah, so so thank you for that. And and
let me just say you guys listening. Kenny is a
(11:26):
really good public speaker. I know he's on radio. But
not only did he you know, get a lot of
laughs and a lot of applause that his speech of
the Texas youth.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
So but the guy is probably.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
One of the few voices on radio that actually has
a face for TV. Is a handsome man. So, you know,
it's tough, tough to follow that act, I'll say that,
but yeah, no, it's it's I believe that memes are
the most effective form of mass communication. Think of how
many times per day someone sends.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
You a text with a meme or a link.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
To a social media post or DMS you, I say,
everyone of all ages gets that right and and that's
the power, that's the viral power of social media messaging.
And so that's that's what I do. And And although
I am known by quite a few people on social media,
I you know, don't do a lot of TV news hits.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
These days, I've done hundreds. I like to keep up
because frankly, I like.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
My quality of life.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
And as much as you know, I enjoyed doing what
I do, I do it so that we can fight
to have a good country and so that we can
all enjoy peaceful lives. Not you know, I'm not necessarily
just the politics for the sake of politics. Guy.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You know you so you're like a very relatable guy
in real life, and then on the Internet you have
this larger than life personality. Obviously, right up until a
couple of weeks ago, uh Rogan, I never felt unsafe
doing this for a living. It never it never concerned
me to tell people what, you know, where at what
gym I go to, or what comedy club would be
at that weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And now I'm not sure. I don't. I don't know
if I feel the same way.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
What about you, I certainly don't.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
I think, you know, I was telling people this year
something changed, and the first thing I realized is that influencers,
people with you know, big maga voices were almost treated
with more scrutiny than politicians themselves.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Like the biggest battles.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
On X you see, are mostly between influencers and what
influencers do. And you you know, we have four to
thirty five members of Congress and rarely are they ever
the subject of conversation unless they vote against, you know,
a popular bill. So that was interesting. And then also,
you know, unfortunately the radical left has deemed that also
(13:44):
to be true, and They just took out our most
powerful voice besides President Trump himself.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Charlie Mayhey.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Rest in Peace was one of the hardest working, most inspirational,
influential powerhouses in our movement. And you know, it was
a very strategic takeout. That is a huge blow to
a movement, and it's galvanized us and it's inspired so
many people to get involved.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
But yeah, that's serious.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
So you know, don't announce public travel plans in advance
unless you know you're going to have security. Always carry
a gun, I do, and you know, take precautionary steps
to make it at least somewhat difficult for them to
find you, you know, hiding your address from public records,
things like that.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I mean, that's that's.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
The cost of fighting for freedom. Freedom is not free,
it never has been.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Man well said, perfectly explained on that note, you actually
tipped me off to this news story just broke just
shortly before we got on the air this afternoon. The
Secret surveys photographed showing servers and simcards from New York City.
They're calling it a telecommunications threat. This is remarkable. I mean,
this just happened. So I don't know how big of
a news story it's going to be, but the US
(14:58):
Service dismantling and and telecommussion communications throughout in New York
City should be one of the biggest news stories of
the day, if not Donald Trump at the UN What
exactly does this mean? What do you think happened here?
And what could the consequences have been if we hadn't
stopped it.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
I think this is one of the biggest criminal justice
victories that Trump's administration has had. I think they just dismantled, uncovered,
and dismantled a digital nuke. And that's what I think
we're dealing with here. So they found three hundred SIM
(15:33):
servers and over one hundred thousand SIM cards connected to
these SIM servers at multiple sites across New York City
that they believe could only be installed by a foreign government.
And when you see the pictures of this stuff, it
looks like you're looking at, you know, a Dell computer
server room. I mean this and this was just in
(15:53):
a random New York City apartment. They found this stuff.
The Secret Service did in connection with their investigation into
swatting calls. So you remember a lot of people were
getting swat teams called in their house. People on the
left hand, the right, frankly mostly the right, and it
was actually coming from overseas. I believe it was Romania
and they were largely untraceable. But this is huge, this setup.
(16:18):
It was well funded. They said it's capable of sending
thirty million text messages per minute that could have disabled
cell towers, jammed emergency call centers, and shut down the
entire cellular grid. This was being built, I believe as
part of a larger terrorist or asymmetrical warfare attack.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Isn't it incredible When we stop something like this, it's
a footnote in the news, but when it actually happens, boy,
I mean, it has a totally different effect on how
the media reacts to it. You know, it's a similar
thing happening today. What were you about to say.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Well, no, I mean and say they launched this attack, right,
you take down the cellular or the internet grid and
your city or other places, then you could easily go
in and have someone disassemble this stuff and ship it out.
They would have never even seen it, right, you'd never
be able to find it.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I mean, this they really prevented.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
A lot of catastrophe and as we've seen with you know,
our elections, and you know, the bad guys like to
launch funny business near election time. We got the midterms
next year, and you know, the last thing we want
is some type of grid takedown. And the thing is
there might be more of these. Right, this does not
look that complicated. I mean, it's very advanced. It's expensive,
(17:32):
but it really wasn't that much and you can just
rent a random apartment and have this stuff kind of
sitting there in lying in Wait.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, I mean, it's really incredible how close we came
to a major disaster here. And I doubt they think.
I doubt Trump gets the credit he deserves. But to
that point, he's out. He's in New York City today,
he's out talking at the UN. I'm sure you watched
some of that speech and kind of like how the
UN funded Greta Thunberg, they funded, you know, the eco extremes.
(18:00):
Apparently they also fund illegal immigration, and you have been
a big voice to help to call them out on this,
which I think is very necessary.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Can you speak to that a little bit.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Yeah, So, we recently learned that the UN provided over
three hundred and seventy two million dollars almost half a
billion to help illegal aliens invade and resettle in our country. Right,
and this was part of their official budgets. They provided food, shelter, transportation,
(18:31):
debit cards. Obviously we saw it with the Biden regime.
They were reallocating COVID funds, reallocating FEMA funds, billions of
dollars to help finance this invasion of our country. Right,
and the UN is involved. This is a global movement
(18:51):
against first world Western countries.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
They're flooding our border.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
With third world is because they want to make they
want to dilute the vote of citizens there. They want
to usher in, you know, third world socialism. So, in
my opinion, the UN is not our ally, I think
we should defund the UN. There should be consequences for this.
They intentionally contributed to the invasion of our country. There
(19:18):
needs to be severe consequences.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, isn't it amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
We have to pay for everything all the time constantly,
the gh Summit, you know, the UN. Of course, we
have to pay for that, and then these organizations seem
to be against us constantly. It's the same thing with
all these subsidized companies in Silicon Valley. Taxpayers have to
shill out tons of money to companies like Apple and Google, Alphabet, Facebook, Meta,
(19:44):
they get huge billion dollar subsidies. We don't get a
cut of their profits. And there is some good news
on that note today. I was thrilled to see this.
Google is going to reinstate some of the banned YouTube
accounts that were censored for having mainstream right wing opinions.
And this news comes to us courtesy of the House
Judiciary Committee. I can't help but wonder if this once
(20:04):
again elections of consequences. This would probably not be happening
if not for the fact that a majority of Americans
seem to now agree with us.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Rogan, do you see it the same way?
Speaker 8 (20:14):
One hundred percent?
Speaker 7 (20:15):
And you know, I read the letter from Google's law firm,
King and Spaulding detailing the settlements basically, and they they
blame the Biden regime entirely.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
There. They said they.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Were receiving massive pressure to suspend and censor conservative voices,
even voices that didn't necessarily.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Violate their policies.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
And when you have a you know, multi trillion dollar
government apparatus breathing down your neck, it's it's, as Pablo
Escobar used to say, you know, silver or lead. Uh,
you can do this the easy way and you'll continue
to make lots of money, or you can do this
the hard way, and we're going to get our way
no matter what. So uh yeah, Google, Google and you
(20:59):
tube are bringing back suspended voices who violated the COVID
nineteen and twenty twenty election integrity policies. Obviously five years later,
not much consolation. But of course those are almost all
conservative voices, and so now we have conservative voices being
brought back on Twitter, X and YouTube, and I think
(21:21):
the last remaining stronghold of censorship.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Is Meta and Instagram.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
There are a lot of voices banned Alex Jones or
Lumer Milo who deserved to be brought back and have
their accounts restored on Instagram and Facebook and so many others.
Ten I'm sure people listening to this have had their
accounts suspended on Facebook for daring to question the twenty
twenty elections.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
So bring everyone back.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh yeah, many of us. You're talking to somebody that
was right now. It's amazing how bad it was. We
had a half a million followers and then one day
it was like it was like shutting off a faucet.
One day we'd post a meme, it would get ten
thousand shares. The next day we'd ask a question and
there'd be five responses right like, and it was all
after the twenty twenty election. We've gone long on this segment,
but I'd love to just get one more in, one
(22:04):
more question before we run here. One hundred and seven
days is the name of the new Kamala Harris book.
I think it's unlikely it will have one hundred and
seven readers.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Supposedly in the books, she throws.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Hand grenades figuratively speaking at Joe Biden, JB. Pritzker, Gavin Newsom.
What do you think she's attempting to do here with
this book? And is this the last we hear from her?
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Well, I think she's trying to smooth out some of
the wrinkles of what she did in terms of organizing
a soft coup. I think she's trying to blame people
for why she lost. And I think she's trying to
prepare herself for a twenty twenty eight run in the
(22:45):
next presidential election. So you know, I remember, the biggest
thing I got centered on in the lead up to
the twenty to twenty four election was saying that Tamala.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Overthrew Joe Biden.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
It was a soft coup.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
The fact checkers jumped on me instantly, This is not
us off cu she by the you know, rules and
regulations that the DNC secured that nomination. I'm like, yeah,
without a single vote. I mean, you know, you go
back to Hillary Clinton and Obama and Bernie, right, Hillary
versus Bernie.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
She stole it from Bernie, like even.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Bernie would admit that.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
And now they don't even have the illusion of elections.
They just you know, overthrew the dementia guy while he
was taken a nast And you know, I can only
imagine that's what the book is about, but I personally
won't be reading it and look forward to not knowing
anything further about it.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, there's nothing democratic about the Democrats. Amazingly, the same
political party that had the super delegate system where some
votes are more important than others. Rogan o'hanley is his name.
You can find him on ex DC Dreno. A fantastic American,
one of the best. If you don't have him in
your news feed, your news feed could definitely be better.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Obviously, we went wrong on this interview. Rogan. We really
appreciate your time this afternoon.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Brother.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Thank you, Kenny, great job and good to meet you
past weekend.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
My man, Texas Scorecard coming up in just a little
bit with Brandon Walton stick around.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Our doctor told us the pills we took were just
a placebo, but he must not know what he's talking about, because, man,
those suckers worked. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Welcome back, Brandon Waltons from Texas Scorecard dot Com.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Has been rescheduled for tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
He was supposed to be joining us right now, but
he'll be back tomorrow and that's okay. We're replacing him
with a guest. Another guest, Holly Hanson. Just as good
as a journalist, but she's prettier. No offense, Brandon, No
offense or do I mean offense? Actually, Brandon will be
joining us tomorrow for this event.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
We're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
It's City Center tomorrow night, well tomorrow evening, starting at
six thirty pm. There's a place in city center here
in Houston called the Moran City Center, the Moran Hotel MLRAN.
Get there at six point thirty tomorrow. We will be
rallying for the right for young Americans to have a
Turning Point USA chapter in Spring Branch. She's probably wondering
why they don't have one hour, what would be preventing them?
(25:11):
What turns out the vice president of the Spring Branch
Democrats club doxed them. It appears purportedly docks them, and
she is seemingly wiping her own social media footprint After
news of her dosing the TPUSA students went viral on
social media last week, Moms for Liberty in Harris County
posted screenshots of a woman named Natalie listing the names
(25:32):
and info of Spring Branch ISD students who were wanting
to start They wanted to start a TPUSA chapter. They
were inspired by Charlie Kirk, and she appeared to justify
the reasons behind Charlie Kirk's murder in some of her
social media posts, TACKI I know her motive for doxing
the SBISD students seems centered on preventing them from starting
a TPUSA chapter. She also called another leftist parents to
(25:55):
launch an email campaign targeting teachers who agreed to sponsor
the club. So Attorney General Ken Paxton's office called me yesterday.
Over the weekend, they called me, and then yesterday they
confirmed we're going to have an event to defend these
students and you can join us for that.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
We hope you will be there.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Seemingly, all of the attention has caused this woman and
the Spring Branch Democrats to begin clearing her social media footprint,
possibly to avoid people doxing her and the organization she
is the vice president of. Isn't that ironic? The Spring
Branch Democrat Club has fully removed any reference of her
from their website. Previously, the Spring Branch Democrat website listed
(26:32):
her page as follows. Natalie herpins pronouns or she her
she That's the first thing they tell you, what garbage?
Oh are those your pronouns?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
You know?
Speaker 7 (26:43):
She knows.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
She's a foreigner too, like the nerve of this woman.
She's from Belgium. Apparently, from what we could tell, you
moved to America so you could watch ruin our country.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You don't like it here?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Look, I know this sounds cliche, but why don't you
go back where you came from?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Lady?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Anyway, there's a description here. Ever, she is a background
in the nonprofit sector. I guess she works at UNISEF. Anyway,
they scrubbed any existence, took her down. Current Revolt dot
Com attempted to reach out with her, with no response
from the publication. Now, when you click on her profile
on the Spring Branch Democrats Club, it says oops four
oh four. Someone in the comments section said, oops is right. Mentally,
(27:23):
every Democrat is a twelve year old. Their ability to
critically think and reason is severely stunted. This woman probably
saw them as her peers. She thought these high school
kids were her equals, or they're just elite compared to
her in terms of intelligence. And she recognized that, and
so she had to stop these kids from getting You
know the irony of all this.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
These are high school kids, right high school.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Some of them might have stuck around and continue to
be involved in the club, some of them might have
lost interest in a week or two.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
By doing this, she has made sure that these young
men and women will be Republicans for the rest of
their lives. By trying to prevent them from starting this club,
they will probably become more determined than ever. I'm very
excited to go out tomorrow at six thirty pm at
City Center and rally with them.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
I'd never listening to you all again.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But Suit of Happiness Radio, a Virginia woman donated her
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars Powerball prize to charity.
I'd like to think I do the same thing. I wouldn't,
but i'd like to think I would.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
HI.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Welcome back from break everybody. Okay, so let's talk about
crime in Texas for just a moment. It affects you,
It matters, Isn't it frustrating? How you could be a
victim of crime. You could know a lot of people
that are victims of crime, and then along comes somebody
on the fire left. They'll go, you know, crime's down.
Oh that makes it better. Oh, thank you. I guess
I won't miss my catalytic converter. Oh is crime down?
(28:55):
I guess my stab wound doesn't hurt as much anymore.
Thanks for letting me know that if crime is absurdly
high and then it dropped down just a little bit,
we haven't solved the problem.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
With all that being said, back in June, Governor Abbot
signed a bail reform package, Ball reform was a dirty
word for a while, or phrase or term or whatever
you'd describe it as.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
For a while, bail reform was bad, and then once
it came to be normal that we didn't really have
bail anymore. We just let the dangerous criminals out willy nilly.
Then bail reform the definition of that term it changed. Suddenly,
it meant now we're gonna have bail again. We're reforming it.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Get it.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Governor Abbot signed into law what he described as the
strongest bail reform package in Texas history at Crime Stoppers
of Houston back in June.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And so that's that, we've got bail now. Now we'll keep.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Dangerous criminals in jail or prison unless they can come
up with one hundred thousand dollars or whatever it is
for their murder charge, right, Holly.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
End of discussion. Holly Hanson at the Texan Down News.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Not exactly.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Yeah close, I suppose. Yeah, Well, that's a little more
complicated than that. Harris County actually operates under a federal
consent to Cree and it doesn't apply to murder, but
it does require that most misdemeanor suspects must be released
without being forced to pay any cash bail. The problem
(30:18):
is that Texas did pass that bail reform package that
you reference. Governor Abbott signed that into law, and part
of that.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
He signed line he came here to sign it.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
That's correct, And part of that package says that you
can't give a pr bond for certain offenses. And some
of those offenses include unlawful possession of a weapon, violation
of family violence protective orders, or making a terroristic threat,
and all of those are misdemeanors. So what's happening now
(30:53):
is you've got the attorneys who filed that lawsuit that's
kind of governed Harris County's miss i mean or bail
practices for the past few years. Now they're saying that
if judges or magistrates in Harris County comply with the
new state law, they could be found in contempt of
court for not following the federal consent decree that has
(31:17):
been imposed on Harris County. And in fact, if they
are found in contempt of court, they could face fines
or even a criminal offense. So it's a pretty serious matter.
The situation is a little more complicated. We did see
Attorney General Ken paths in a final emotion not too
long ago to intervene. In this case, he is working
(31:41):
legally to try to lift that consent decree, and by
all rights, it probably should be lifted, because the case
that established that consent decree was overturned in twenty twenty
three by an appeals court and pretty much affirmed by
the Supreme Court of the United States. But still Harris
(32:02):
County is grappling with this consent decree. So it does
again mandate that most of these misdemeanor suspects, regardless of
the charges, must be released without cash.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Fail.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
It also stipulates that the county has to spend quite
a bit of money for a federal monitor and for
services for criminal defendants, So it does cost the county
quite a bit of money in addition to imposing certain
rules on the way they handle fail.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
But other than that, how is the play, Missus Lincoln?
Speaker 9 (32:36):
It was excellent? Excellent, I mean, I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Come on, what was the point of all that? So
now the criminals they still win. Now the leftist agitators,
the nut jobs that were defending criminal they still get
their way. Nothing, we didn't. We didn't get a victory.
After all, it feels like it's very frustrating.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Well, I don't think it's all said and done yet.
I think what we're going to see here over the
next few weeks is a legal battle over which has precedent,
is that this federal consent decree that was imposed by
Harris County Commissioner's Court and a district court excuse me,
a federal district court judge in Houston, or the state law.
(33:15):
And keep in mind that the federal consent to cree
even though a local judge Houston judge approved it, it
was not approved by the appeals court, and in fact,
that case was overturned. So it's a very interesting legal conundrum.
In my opinion. I think in the end that the
federal courts are going to frown upon this and they're
(33:38):
going to let the state law over override what that
federal consent to creed does.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
All right, let's talk for a minute about the last
district attorney race in Texas. Sean Tierre and Kim Ogg obviously,
and whoever the Republican candidate was, nobody can remember. And
so Sean Sean won. Sean's the guy on the fire left. Obviously,
we lost. Kim Ogg kim Ogg is kind of like like,
don't know what you got till it's gone. I remember
not wanting her to be the district attorney, and now
(34:03):
we'd long for the days when we had kim Ogg.
Sean Tierre is, I mean, he loves all these far
left policies. He's a friend to the defense attorneys obviously,
and weirdly enough, he praised Crime Stoppers for their victims
support efforts. This week, Harris County District Attorney addresses Houston
homicide victims at memorial event. Not the kind of guy
(34:24):
you'd expect to show up at this event, Holly. It's
kind of like inviting Scrooge to Christmas. It's not a
guest you'd expect to see there.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Well, you know, it was really interesting that he came,
and I believe he was invited to give the kind
of the keynote remarks at this event. And Crime Stoppers
has this event every year where they honor these victims.
They have kind of a memorial service for all of
our murder victims. This year's ceremony included over seven hundred
(34:53):
names as people who'd been murdered in Harris County over
the past few years. But tier you know, he it's
interesting he did defeat Kim Ogg, a fellow Democrat, in
the Democratic primary. Democrats were very upset with Og because
she was not as far left as they liked. That
she did not embrace some of their bail reform initiatives,
(35:17):
and she was also willing to prosecute or investigate members
of her own party in office, including Harris County Judge
Lena Hidalgo's staff, and so you know, she got crossways.
But Sean Tierr, you know, he actually got one point
five million dollars from the criminal justice reform advocate George Soros,
(35:38):
which I'm sure a lot of your listeners know who
he is. But he took those millions to defeat Ogg,
and he has, you know, voice support for a lot
of these far left kind of policy initiatives. But when
he was there in front of those victims, he acknowledged that,
you know, crime Stoppers is doing great work, and he
(36:00):
said they were the front lines for the support that
the DA's office in the county sometimes cannot give. And
that's really interesting because we've had some Democrats in Harris
County be very critical of crime Stoppers of Houston, crime
Stoppers of Houston has been so vocal about the crime
(36:21):
that's happening in our area. And you know, it's interesting.
One of the state senators out of Harris County in
the Houston area was in town for some event. She
was at that memorial event and the next day, before
she and her husband left town, someone broke into their
car and stole their suitcases and all of their possessions
(36:45):
that were in the back of the car. So, you know,
you mentioned that crime is down, but there's some questions
about the way crime is reported, the way it's prosecuted.
You know, it's really there's a lot of discretion given
to the local criminal justice.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I had to interrupt you there.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
But if they say crime is down nationally, I thought
it was up in Houston, which is this is the
one place where you would not expect it to be up.
Considering who our mayor currently is, he actually cares about
the problem. Am I wrong about that? I don't have
the latest data in front of me, but that's.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
What I've told you, so just to clarify, you know,
the facts are that the Houston Police earlier this year,
reporting on twenty twenty four, noted that violent crime is
actually up even though homicides are down, so you know,
we saw an increase in some things like oh gosh,
human trafficking and rape and aggravated assault. Those have risen,
(37:44):
at least according to the twenty twenty four stats. It
takes a while to really get accurate statistics. In fact,
the federal databases don't consider them complete until eighteen months
after the year has ended. So I think it remains
to be seen when and where it's falling. I think
(38:06):
a lot of people are very pleased with the Houston
Marria jeohn Witmeyer, who has really supported law enforcement and
cracking down on crime. He is part of the I
guess you might say more moderate Democrats in the area.
And they may not be moderate on everything, but when
it comes to crime public safety, you know, they're pretty
(38:29):
vocally aligned with a lot of the community that's worried
about crime. It is tend to be a biparisan issue,
you know. On the other hand, you see a lot
of you know, left wing tendencies from Whitmyer and came
on for that matter, But when it comes to crime
and public safety, they're very vocal about the need to
(38:50):
protect the community.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
All Right, average liberals in the loop early mad right now,
wit Meyer for getting rid of a bike lane that
nobody was using. I'm not for putting in more bike lanes.
I will be objective in call balls and strikes on this,
even though I don't like them. It doesn't really make
sense to take them out. That seems expensive and the
grand scheme of things. It's a pretty minor thing, but
(39:13):
it's made him somewhat unpopular with the inner city Democrats.
Is John Whitmyer going to be like kim ogug You know,
we didn't necessarily want another Democrat, but when he leaves,
they'll just replace him with someone worse. I'm asking Holly
the voter in Civilia, not Holly the journalist, what's your
prediction there.
Speaker 10 (39:30):
You know, it's interesting that you bring that out because
one of the rumors that's floating around out there is
that since Harris County Judge Lena has all go is
not running for reelection as county judge, where you know,
she has become very unpopular, she is possibly considering running against.
Speaker 9 (39:49):
Whitmyer in twenty twenty seven. So that would be an
example of someone much more left leaning replacing Whitmyer. And
as far as as bike paths go. I think the
problem with them wasn't the bike paths themselves, but was
that they correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
(40:10):
they took away some of the traffic lanes and for
for motor vehicles. And concern was that, you know, you've
you've further flattled traffic for lanes that maybe weren't being
used as much. So yeah, there's a big debate about,
you know, whether or not that was the right thing
to do. But I think Wittmeier he approached these things
(40:35):
pretty thoughtfully. He's not going to be, I don't know
how you would describe it a kind of knee jerk progressive,
although he is progressive on a wire array of issues.
But he is concerned about the city spending in in
public safety and and whether or not some of the
things that were done in the previous administration made sense.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
