Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack Gan of government sucks insuit of happing as radio
is de ux Liberty and freedom will make you smile
for sud of happen and us on your radio to
ol justice, cheeseburgers and a liberty price at for food.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
A store has opened in China that sells life size robots,
robots that do things like cook and clean and other housework,
and probably a lot of sex.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I'm sure that's part of it as well.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We talked we've talked about that on our Mornage show today,
But I just want to remind everybody we don't have
to worry about that in here in Houston because our
former mayor, Mayor Sylvester Turner passed a law that will
protect us from robots, sex, brothels. While it may not
be illegal to do almost any kind of crime in
this city, one thing you cannot do is have sex
with the robot for money. Anyway, We're not going to
(00:53):
talk about that at all on today's show. We do
have a long list of interesting guests. My buddy Tim
Mathis is stopping by. He's a stand up comedian. We're
gonna go to Hollywood where it's gonna get weird. Oh
also on the show this afternoon. A right wing environmentalist
and a Houston Chronicle reporter are both going to be
in this studio. We're going to live stream in a
short time, so hang around for that. His name's Jesse,
(01:14):
her name's Faith. We'll get to them shortly before we
get to any of it. Breitbart dot Com reporting today
on how the richest man in the world is reportedly
decided to become a Republican again. Elon Musk cooling his
jets after announcing back in July. Boy, it was a
long time ago. A lot's changed since July. In July,
he said he was going to launch a third party
to challenge Republicans in MAGA in twenty twenty eight. Now
(01:37):
he's not going to do that, Elon Musk told political allies.
According to The Wall Street Journal, he wants to focus
his attention on his companies, and he's reluctant to alienate
powerful Republicans by starting a third party instead. Per the Journal,
Musk has been focused in part on maintaining ties with
Vice President Jade Vance. Apparently those two guys are pretty tight.
He thinks that's the guy that needs to be the
(01:58):
heir to the MAGA political movement. Musk is seriously considering
using some of his vast financial resources to back JD.
Van's if he decides to run, which it sounds like
you will now. For months, Elon has been a key
member of Trump's White House. Actually he was something more
like Trump's adopted son. At great personal costs, Musk enthusiastically
(02:19):
launched the Doge initiative. As I'm sure you remember, they
were supposed to audit the federal government, and they did.
They found a lot of waste, a lot of fraud,
a lot of abuse. The first crack in this happy
family was reported when there was an argument with Musk
and the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen. Then came the Summer's
Big Beautiful Bill, and Musk didn't love it. He made
(02:40):
a good point, He said, the bill can either be
big or beautiful, it can't be both.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
And he's right.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Elon Musk was right about that. But since that happened,
there was some accusations made by Elon Musk on his
ex account attacking Trump personally, like some debunked nonsense about
Trump being named in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files. We
have now learned from Bill Barr not exactly an ally
to Donald Trump that it's not true. Trump isn't really
(03:06):
part of the Jeffrey Epstein story, at least not in
any nefarious, salacious way. Trump retaliated with a threat to
cancel Musk's extensive government contracts. A few days later, Musk apologized,
then he deleted the post. But then in early July,
Musk announced he was going to start the American Party. Now,
I know what you're thinking, The America Party. Isn't that
(03:26):
already a thing? No, no, no, he was called the
American Party. It's different. It's the same, but different. Fast
forward six weeks, Musk appears to have cooled down, and
again he's facing reality. Musk and his associates have told
people close to him that he's considering using his money
to help JD.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Musk spent three hundred million dollars to support Trump in
twenty twenty four, and it worked.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Now here's the reality of all this.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Unless there's a deep recession or China successfully invades the
US mainland, president, vice President Jade Vance will probably win
in twenty two. I think he will. I don't think
that Gavin Newsom's popular enough, not even in his own state.
It's not just that the Democrats are an absolute disaster
focused on protecting illegal alien rapists and mutilating kids. Although
(04:11):
that's certainly true, there is the undeniable fact that JD.
Vance is one of the most skilled politicians anyone's ever seen.
Do you remember when he was debating Kamala Harris's running mate.
I know a lot of you probably don't even remember
what his name was. It was Tim Walls or was
it Tim Kaine. Nobody can tell the difference between those
two guys. He actually made Tim Walls like him during
(04:33):
that debate. Remember Saturday Night Live did a bit about
how those two guys actually seem to be getting along,
and it almost sounded like Tim Walls wanted to vote
for JD.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Vans.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What's more, while Democrats demand the border be reopened, and
they want to put gay porn back in elementary schools,
and they want all the violent criminals released, JD. Vance
will be backed by the most skilled politician of a lifetime,
of my lifetime, Donald J.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Trump. The Jay stands for genius.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Sure, Mus could pour another three hundred million dollars into
a presidential election, but to what end? To feed his
spite by handing the reins of power back to the
war loving fascists and the Democrat Party, the American Taliban,
the same people who tore down history, the same people
who openly hate the Jews and oppress women with their
trans junk. They sense your speech, they queer your kids.
(05:24):
They cement riots and racial division, and they encourage the
assassination of their political opponents, not to mention raiding their
homes with a swat team. The good news for Musk
is that the Maga movement is not the unforgiving, forever
cast out the Judas political left.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
We get it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Families fight sometimes bitterly. We forgive, we forget, We move on.
Musk is always welcome back in the Republican Party. We
don't celebrate cancel culture here.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty, Houston.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
This is interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
One quarter of Americans say they want to quote take
a break from sex. It's ridiculous. If you want to
take a break from sex, just get married. It's as
simple as that. How old are these people? Y'all kidding me?
Are you telling me? Is a man? You don't know
what it feels? Like to be devastated, crushed, humiliated, rejected, wounded, defeated, betrayed, shattered, dejected, forlorn, desponded, crestfallen, disheartened,
(06:35):
ashamed of the man that you are.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You got nothing to be ashamed of. You're a man.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Put your pants back on and walk the walk, young man.
You can't let a woman decide who you're gonna be.
You can't let you sexuality dictate where you're going in
this world.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's insane. You gotta look that woman in the eye.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You got to tell her to just walk on by.
I'm sorry, are we on the air right now?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I know we were doing a radio segment.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Or what?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Boy howdy?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
A new movie about the life of Shenead O'Connor is
in the works. I can't wait to watch the pope
tear it apart.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I kid, you know who.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I want to talk to my buddy on the line
right now, Tim Mathis is here. Tim and I were
just watching this. I mean, I guess it's a segment
of Bill Maher's show. Bill Maher is really eating the
red pill. Recently oh men. I don't watch his show,
but Breitbart in the conservative news media, they love to
pick apart all the little moments where he agrees with
us and late night hosts Bill Maher body slammed California
(07:39):
and the Democrats who've turned into an anti business hell
hole as of late.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's a lot of examples of this happening right now.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
But nearly seventy percent of people in California say they
are unhappy with the state. Forty percent say they are
thinking about leaving right now. That's a lot, you guys.
It's a tough place to live. You know who lived
there and left. My buddy, stand up comedian Tim mathis, Tim,
why'd you leave California?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
The exact same reasons Bill Maher's talking about. So I
know that we've talked about. They were making a micro
budget movie and we had to do an LLC in California.
It was going to cost us seven hundred and fifty
dollars just to apply. In Texas it was free. So
(08:24):
you know, that's that's the common theme with California. They
just make it so hard to make money out there
for the state, which is crazy. So they've really shot
themselves in the foot over and over again, and people
like mar finally starting to take notice. So that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Is it. Do you watch his show?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Is it that like Breitbart and Daily Caller and Fox
News will find all the moments when he praises Tromp
or disagrees with Gavin Newsom, And I got to think
it's not. As someone that doesn't watch it and I
just see the clips on social media, cable news, it
leads to me to believe he's like a Republican now,
But there are probably just as many moments on that
show where he's criticizing conservatives, right, isn't that the stick?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Yeah? I mean he plays both sides, which is, you know,
fine with me as long as he's being honest about
you know, stuff like this he does. You know, he's
wrong on a lot of other stuff, but on this
he's dead right.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, Okay, well, very cool. It's nice to see he's
right once.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Have you ever heard this that he used to be
roommates in college with Rand Paul or that they were
friends or something.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I had no idea. I know that Jon Stewart was
roommates with Anthony Wiener.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I know you didn't just tell a joke, but it's
still funny to me.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
All right, speaking of Hollywood leaving the our people leaving
the places where you expect to see them. Apparently a
lot of Marvel comic stuff for Disney World, a lot
of the Marvel movies and TV shows they filmed in Georgia,
more specifically Atlanta. Some people refer to Atlanta as Black Hollywood,
and I find that to be a little marginalizing to
black people or to Atlanta, because it looks like they're
(10:04):
doing more in Atlanta than just you know, Tyler Perry movies.
I mean, to that point, Disney was there, But to
that point, Disney's now leaving. What do you what's your
take on this?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
It's not surprising. Unfortunately, That's what Hollywood does. It goes
wherever the cheapest work is the cheapest workforce. For example,
a lot of your action films are filmed in places
like Eastern Europe. So it's it's very unfortunate that this
(10:35):
is happening Georgia. As far as movie production was really exploding,
it was actually at one point there was more TV
and film productions going on in Atlanta than there was
in Hollywood. But now I guess that's about to change.
It looks like Disney is, instead of making better movies
(10:57):
and you know that will make more money, they're going
to continue to make crappy films and move them to
the UK. So they just chose the path of least resistance.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It looks like, all right, I know it sounds good
on its surface, but do we really want to have
a spider Man with a British accent?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
That could be pretty interesting. But yeah, I agree with you,
it is it is. It's it's troubling that this is
the way that Hollywood cuts corners and cuts budgets instead
of doing things like you know, just making it more
affordable to make movies. In the United States, one of
(11:42):
our main industries is the film industry. We were the
first country to really start that up in a big amount.
We we are the leader in film and TV and
to see Disney taking the cheap way out and moving
to the UK is not a good look and hopefully
(12:05):
it won't continue to happen. I'm kind of disappointed that
Texas didn't try to get that Marvel money to come
to our state, but you know, it is what it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Is, Okay, So to your point, there a lot of
people in Texas are mad right now that this in
this past legislative session, the first one, not the failed
one we just had or the one we're having now,
they did give out pass a bill that gives subsidies
to Hollywood movie studios. And I think part of the
reason why I think that upset so many Republicans and
(12:37):
Conservatives was because they didn't get US property tax relief.
So the way people see that as they're giving the
money to Hollywood instead of back to the taxpayers. I'm
sure you have mixed feelings about that. Being a guy
that produces comedy films for a living, well, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I mean I like the way that Texas is going
towards because we are planning on filming in Texas, so
this should should help our situation, and of course other
productions moving to Texas would be great. But I do
understand the pretty Texes pretty bad in Texas, so you know,
it would be better if they kind of did both,
(13:14):
but it looks like they are focusing on just the
movie production aspect for now.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
So all right.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
For those that don't remember, there used to be a
TV show called Kids in the Hall. It was very
funny it's the TV show up in Canada that Lauren
Michaels briefly produced when he left Saturday Night Live back
in the early years, and then he came back. Maybe
people remember this, maybe they don't. Dave Foley was a
guy on that show. Michael Ian Black started his career
out doing sketch comedy on MTV. I forget what the
(13:44):
show is called, but both of these guys are now
teaming up together to form an alliance of irrelevant. Yesterday's
Comedians against Maga, Canadian comedian Dave Foley joined comedian and
CNN show host Michael ian Black and unloaded on Americans,
calling us and uneducated. He said, we're deporting people like
they did in nineteen thirty nine. In nineteen thirty nine,
(14:06):
I think if I'm not mistaken, I don't know if
you're a history buffer not tim, But the controversy wasn't
that they were making people leave the country. It's that
they wouldn't let them leave the country as they were
locking them up in these camps of concentration. I don't
know if you're aware of that or not, but I
couldn't believe that we have to constantly redefine fascism or
change history around so that the left will make it
(14:27):
seem like it resembles whatever Trump's doing.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Trump's goals with Doge and obviously immigration reform was to
make people leave the country that weren't supposed to be
here and shrink the size of the country. The Nazis
did the government, that is, the Nazis did the exact opposite.
They tried to make government bigger and they wouldn't let
people leave, Right, Like, how do we make Trump into
a Nazi when he's doing the exact opposite of what
(14:52):
they did.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I just wish they would find a different example, since
the Hitler thing just doesn't fit. You know, two supposedly
great comedians which both have had their moments. Michael Ian
Black was on the State by the Way.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That's it good, Yeah, good memory. Yeah, I love that.
It was a great long It's hard to believe him
a long time ago. Michael ian Black used to be
a comedian.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah. And and of course Dave Foley was also on news
radio where he was really good. But these guys haven't
been good for a long time. And I don't know
what it is about Trump that just it rocks these
people's brains. It it makes it makes their whole like
goal of entertaining people secondary. And to see two people
(15:45):
that you know, pretend that, at least at this point,
pretend to be funny people and they can only come
up with the Hitler comparison. I mean, it's so played out.
So you want to talk about hack that is very
hacked to call Trump a Hitler or a Russian asset
(16:06):
or whatever they want to do. Now you know it's
it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You know what, you know, it's not ridiculous. The comedy
of Tim mathis comedy. Find him on x and Instagram
at Tim mathis comedy on both platforms.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
He's hilarious. That reminds me.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
We're putting together another comedy show on October fifth.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
That is a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
It's going to be the Bad Astronaut Brewing Company to
raise money for wheelchairs for Warriors. I will have a
lineup and I will have tickets available soon. That's just
a little teaser. Since Tim and I are both comics,
Hey stick around. Coming up next a journalist from the
Chronicle and a right wing environmentalist.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm going to see if I can get them to
fight with each other.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Turn that down. That is very noisy. That's something important
to say. What do I have to say?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
According to a new poll, fifty four percent of people
would reach into a festival toilet to retrieve their.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Telephone like their iPhone. I guess.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Meanwhile, at the gathering at the Juggalos, nine percent of
attendees would reach into a toilet on a dare, probably
for ten bucks. Hi, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for joining
us for an afternoon edition to Pursue a Happiness radio.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
We are live streaming right now.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
If you're listening to us on the radio and you're
curious what we look like, don't be it's really not.
There's not much to see here. But I am joined
by a gallley of Craze, a Motley crue if you will.
People today, A bunch of people in the studio coming
back today. He's been here before. Right wing environmentalist Jesse Henry.
What happened to your camera?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Jesse? What what did you do? Fix it? I don't know, man,
I'm sorry, can you fix that? Somebody screws up the
threading on this. Really, that really screws up the show.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Jesse, Henry is here. Jesse, you're a renewable guy. You're
one of the MAHA people.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah, did you have to introduce me as a right
wing environmentalist? Yeah, like like Ted Kaczynski.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And then also here right now is Faith Bugenhaw and
she's a Mexican, as you could tell by her last name,
Faith welcome.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
What would what would inspire you to do something like this?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Oh, I have no idea, you're instantly regretting. No, not exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
This is a political news talk station, so our listeners
that are you know, news savvy, probably know who you are.
You are the cron dot com reporter for politics, and
you are politically ambiguous. That's right, the ambiguously political duo.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You're not non binary. She's not on the right. She's not.
And I will admit is somebody that reads your column regularly.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
You are a column? I write articles?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, okay, but what would you isn't there a word
for this? This is I would assume this is called
a column, right, is that not?
Speaker 7 (18:44):
That's just my author's page of articles, so it's not
called a call already fact checking you?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, see I thought the age of fact checkers was
over faith. No, no, it's not okay. People don't trust
Snopes anymore. Have you seen this before? There was a
report that came out it said a lot of these
guys that run these websites like Snopes and PolitiFact dot
com are x FBI XCIA agents.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Now is someone that works in journalism?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Why do you think if you had to guess, you know,
just as a human being, not as the official spokesperson of.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Chron dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Why is it so important for ex intelligence agents to
go out and make sure people on social media are
aware of what the establishment's opinions are about things.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You're nervous, aren't you. You're rocking in your chair.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I'm not nervous at all. I just like moving when talking.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It is as I recently wrote an op ed for
last week for the Houston Chronicle and it went viral,
which is not what your news outlet is. Your news
outlet here, get that my closer to your mouth. Your
news outlet is cron dot com. Cron dot com and
the Houston Chronicle are different for a reason, Right, Houston Chronicle,
you pay for cron dot Com is ad based if
I'm not mistaken, ye, but subscription. But why is it
(19:54):
so important to you that people know you don't write
for the Houston Chronicles.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Well, they are two separate publications, and I feel like
those Hustonians actually don't know that. So I love to,
you know, get the word out there that we are
separate publications.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Carn dot com isn't really his opinion driven.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
People often assume that your news outlet is like has
a liberal bias, or that you're left of center. And
I thought that for a long time, and I will
admit one of your co workers sort of he works
with the Chronicle, Evan Mintz, allowed me to write an
op ed recently, and they didn't. They let me say
whatever I want, and I roasted John Cornyn. I even
pointed out how one of his chief staffers was accused
(20:31):
of hiring an escort with a Venmo account, just being
a creepy, and they put all that in the article.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
They let me publish all of it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And I will admit faith after a long time of
Hatinghurst media, I now don't necessarily feel that way anymore
about you guys. And some of our listeners are mad
at me for it. But my whole problem with you
guys was that I thought you guys censored right wing thinkers,
and it would seem as though, at least with some
of the new management, that's not what's happening. And I look,
(20:57):
I call balls and strikes. I commend you guys on that.
I think that's very cool.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Yeah, well, I cannot speak to management decisions because I'm
not management. But I think it's important to note that
you wrote an op ed, and editorial is separate from well,
opinion separate from editorial, so that's important.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So what you're saying is that while the editorial section
would allow a right wing thinker such as me to exist,
the news team would never let that happen because you guys,
I said, Okay.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Again fact checking, Kenny, it's not at all what I said.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Fair enough, faith, you are doing a good job so far.
I commend you on that.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
In the studio right now, as well as mister Jesse,
Henry Jesse. I actually thought it would be interesting to
invite both of you here on the same day for
two reasons. Number One, yesterday I was in Baton Rouge
giving a speech with Governor Jeff Landry to the Oil
and gas executives, and we were talking about a topic
it wasn't. You guys aren't necessarily political at least even
though you're a political reporter. And what you're talking about
(21:53):
is something, Jesse, that the effect is affected by this.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Current administration, the MAHA movement.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You're not here today to talk about immigration reform or
anything like that. You're really bothered by microplastics in our testicles.
And I've been checking all morning and I have not
found any microplastics in my testicles.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now, I try to be objective on this.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
You say it's bad, But for people that have that problem,
won't they.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Save a lot of money on prophylactics they could.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
I think you need to check your testicles again, though, Kenny,
because I think there might be some there. They currently
microplastics are in one hundred percent of men's balls.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
They don't make a magnifying glass that small, unfortunately, Jesse,
that's the problem. You had a list today of what
foods to eat to make sure you have the least
microplastics in your testicles.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Is that true? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:36):
I mean I think you know it's cut down on
the hot coffees and teas and the cups that are plastic.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
And what are you drinking out of right now? I'm
just curious.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
What is that Kenny Webster sponsored styrofoam cup? What is
the problem with styrofoam?
Speaker 7 (22:49):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
When I moved to Texas.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I grew up in Illinois, in the north suburbs of Chicago,
never seen a styrofoam cup in my life, and I
moved down here there is styrofoam everywhere. I was really
excit I did about styrofoam cups. It's like the the
material of the future. But you say it's not.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Polystyrene is one of the worst chemistries for human health
according to WHO. According to the World the World, Yes
in fact check in faith, give this guy hell for that.
The world can't accord. What are the foods besides? Why
tea and coffee because it's hot and it yeah, I
mean the tea bags are made of polypropylene, so you're
getting millions of microplastics when you have the tea the coffee.
(23:27):
It's it's it's the temperature in the cup that's creating
the plastic liner to degrade.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
In the hot coffees and teas.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
But if you go to like seafood, for example, there's
a lot of bioaccumulation of microplastics and seafood, so it's
in all the foods and drinks.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
It's really tough to get rid.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Of, but it tastes great apparently because we're not stopping
it anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
And the whole goal here is really you know.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Sustainable chemistry is such a bipartisan issue that no one's
talking about today.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
All right, what else is putting microplastics in our ovaries
or our potest cales?
Speaker 6 (24:00):
You know, microplastics is a problem. It's not the problem.
The problem is that we're in a state of chemical
warfare and we need to figure out how to reduce
our tox and exposure on a day to day basis.
So if we were to just walk through the average morning, right,
you wake up, you wash your face, you brush your teeth.
Not me, You put on deodorant. Maybe not if you're
Kenny Webster, but other people they put on waste of money,
(24:21):
They put on skincare stuff, They put on clothes made
of synthetic fibers. They eat some food and drink, and
all of it, if you haven't consciously chosen it is
contaminated with synthetic chemistries. That are disrupting your hormone production,
your gut biome, and your brain chemistry.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Okay, so read through the list rough quick because I
know there's a bunch more and we're gonna run out
of time.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Here the list.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I don't have the list up in front of me
right now, but yeah, the list was seafood, it was salt.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It was sugar salt. I love salt. Know, how could
salt be a problem. It's millions of years old. I
had a salt shaker the other day, sea salt. It
said it was millions of years old on the front,
and then I looked on the back and it had
just expired. What are the odds of that, after all
those years I got bad sald?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Can you believe that? I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I know Trader Joe's wouldn't even give me a refund.
All right, So cut fish fish was number one.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah, the small fish eat the microplastics, and the bigger
fish eat the smaller fish than the biggest fish eat
the medium sized fish.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
All right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
On that note, a big news story today is that
we were getting this there radioactive Hang on, let me
put that on the screen. Radioactive shrimp from Indonesia. Now
I looked into it, and we can get shrimp right
out of the Gulf of America because of Mississippi. Right,
we've all seen that movie Forrest Gump. You remember that
scene right where he is sex with Jenny and he
doesn't get AIDS. Does that even make sense to you?
(25:38):
It makes no, not not that sea. The scene where
they're reading off all the different kinds of shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp, sandwich, shrimp, stew.
I remember this, Yes, if we can get it out
of the golf, why are we getting radioactive shrimp from Indonesia? Jesse,
oh Man, that's a really tough question.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
There's contamination at all levels one in the water, two
and processing equipment, so contamination can come from anywhere. And
they say it's mostly Walmart's fault. Apparently, huh oh, Walmart's fault.
They're definitely putting you know the pictures great.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know that's where for those I'm listening on the radio,
we're looking at pictures right now of radioactive shrimp. And
I really liked this. This one was my favorite. The
big guy right there, and weirdly enough, if you look
down there a lot of microplastics in his balls, you know,
to your part, Yeah, absolutely, you know, that's probably the
high protein diet.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It's great for you.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
RFK Junior really does not like this stuff, the microplastics,
the ultra processed foods, the gly faucet, and the electromagnetic Oh,
that's an easy word, radiation. What is his problem with
all this stuff?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Jesse? What if this is just a great origin story
for the next superhero movie?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
This, I mean, this could be a Marvel movie that
we're facing right now. Right chemical warfare is actually one
of the biggest problems on our planet and no one's
talking about it. So what RFK Junior is doing is
really great because he's tackling in all these different sectors.
It's food, it's agriculture, it's chemicals, it's pharma, and he's
trying to get these toxic ingredients out of our supply chain.
They increase human health implanetary health outcomes.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Faith is here, Faith Boog and Hagen from the Crown
dot com obviously, And what else did you.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Used to write for?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I used to write for the Houston Press for about
three years.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Ken Paxton was just involved in a lawsuit that has
Callogg's taking some of the chemicals out of cereal.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Did you cover that story?
Speaker 7 (27:18):
I did not cover it, but I did hear about it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Would Ken Paxton be the guy that you would think
would be the dude to fix fruity loops or whatever like?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
It didn't. I was a little surprised by it.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
I think there are bigger issues that he's probably attending to.
But he has filed a slew of lawsuits that are
environmentally kind of charged, so it doesn't necessarily surprise me.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Way Faith out of curiosity, though, you don't you don't
think the synthetic dies and sweeteners or that is not
at all?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
When I said that is not at.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
All, maybe check her. She didn't say that. Maybe it's
causing you know, human.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Health outcomes for our children, like increases in ADHD from
having red red dyes or maybe synthetic food colorants or
other synthetic sweeteners. That's not problem that Yeah, which chemicals
do you think we should use to kill kids? Faith,
boog and hoggencron dot com go ahead.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I never said any such thing, none of those sayings.
I just think that, you know, Paxxton has a number
of issues on his place, and he has sued for
a number of issues.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
So, in terms of issues that politicians care about, presumably
human health should be at the top of the list,
though no, well, protecting our citizens among the top of
the government is supposed to protect us.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I think we agree on that. All right.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I'll ask you this, because this is a politically ambiguous question,
as somebody that covers politics, does it surprise you that
now in twenty twenty five, it's the Republicans that care
about preservatives and chemicals in their foods and the Democrats
have kind of taken a back seat on that. I mean,
do you find that surprising as someone that's covered politics
for how old are you twenty four? Like for four years?
Or how long have you covered politics? I guess six
(28:49):
six years? Okay, But as a kid, you didn't just
get into politics. You must have been interested in this
as a teenager, right.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Slightly slightly. I actually turned out as anti cald so
I did hop into fall into politics.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Here's another politically ambiguous question. Is there any in your industry?
Is there anything as useless as a music critic? I mean,
I don't need someone to tell me if the new
radio album not useless.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Music critics are not useless?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You have to say that because your website has music critics.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
No, that's true.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Who's the most useless? Though?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
If one reporter had to go away, is it crime?
Would it be the culinary guy?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Like?
Speaker 7 (29:25):
I think there is value in free press, all free press?
What was all news reporters as well as any other
topic of reporters?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
All right, you heard it here first, she doesn't like
the editorial section.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Faith just said that. All we're going to take a
quick break.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Don't go anymore more with Faith Boogan Hoggin and Jesse Henry,
the right wing environmentalist.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Right after this, I'm listening to a pursuit of happ.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness on KPRC nin Houston.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Okay, you'll appreciate this, Faith, because you write things for
the Internet. A new survey says that reading for pleasure
has fallen by forty percent in the last couple of decades.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Here, we're surprised to hear that.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Meanwhile, reading online user agreements remain steady at zero percent.
Nobody's ever read a user agreement ever in the history
of your entire life.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Do you know what else I wonder? I don't look
at this. I never would.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
But I'm told that on adult websites at the bottom
of videos there's a comment section, Jesse Henry, who's that
for exactly?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Who's leaving a comment? Why is that?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
What would inspire someone at the end of whatever they're doing,
following the plotline avidly at the end of someone that
should be able to list at the end of that
experience to go, you know what, I'd really like people
to know what I thought of this. When you're writing Faith,
while you're writing those comments, what do you usually type there?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
I am not writing those comments, so.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You're just watching and then getting off the website. I'm
watching Faith since you're.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Hearing a lot of let's call this segment meet your journalist.
Let's be clear, she does not look at adult entertainment.
She's disgusted by it. That's fine, she's a paleo conservat
when it comes to that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
What is it.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
I did not say that you became a.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Journalist for a reason though you started working at the
Tribune and you said, no, the Free Press.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
No, I worked at the Houston Press.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The Houston Press. Okay, did they used to have a festival?
Were you guys associated with that or was that.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
I don't think we were, but that was also before
my time with them.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
So well, on that topic, why doesn't Houston have a
good music festival? Austin has music festivals, Dallas has it,
Chicago's got Lallapalooza. We're the fourth biggest city. They should
have Travis Scott to a festival.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
You know what I mean? No, OK, but it would
be great if they did it.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
You guys, you did you and I think we do
need a fun music festival that is Houston centric and
I'm sure that would draw a lot of artists.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Without giving me your opinion, you've covered this a lot.
Marty Langton was here not long ago. He is the
firefighter union president. He is a Republican primary candidate for
a county judge. Amazingly, he's this union leader for a
government group of workers, and Republicans love him right now.
I don't think that would have happened ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I like Marty. I think he's a good guy.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I've talked to him about this before, and a lot
of people that work with first responders, firefighters, cops, they
blame Sylvester Turner for that. When you hear from people
about why that Astro World. Do you know about this Jesse?
We had a big music festival here was it two
years ago? And no, he just moved here. He travels
around the country like an escort, staying at Airbnbs or whatever.
(32:28):
As a couple of years ago, a couple of years ago,
there was a rap concert here and a bunch of
kids died. There was a stampede, there were rooms. Yeah,
it was called Astro World. It was named after a
theme park that used to be here. A lot of
people blame. Some people blame live nations, Some people blame
the local political leaders, some blame the county, some blame
the city. When you get a general reading, you know,
(32:50):
not your opinion, but who do you think most people
blame for that?
Speaker 7 (32:53):
I think to your point, they blame all of kind
of the parties involved. I know that there was a
lot on Scott himself, you know, and that's kind of
been talked about in reports and all that. So I
think every party, to my understanding what I've heard from sources,
as well as when I was covering the after effect,
because I did cover that for the Houston Press, the
(33:14):
reports were put out, there was like shared responsibility as well.
A lot.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I'm going to play white Devil's advocate here on this,
and I bet I won't take the position you expect.
Live Nation throws festivals all the time, all the time.
People don't die at them, right, they follow the protocol
and the rules in each city, county, municipal government. Happens
all the time. I enjoy alternative music. I'm standing here
wearing a KMFDM shirt as I'm talking on a conservative
talk station. I've been in a lot of moshpitz. I've
(33:40):
had a lot of strangers blood and sweat on me
in my life. I've never seen children get trampled to death.
Of all the festivals, concerts, rave parties, punk shows, and
I've been to a lot, I've never seen that happen before.
I got to think the one denominating, the one factor
here that existed that didn't normally exist, and all the
other festivals and concerts these people have been involved in.
(34:00):
You know, it's Travis Scott's job as the entertainer to
get the crowd fired up. I saw Pantera at the
Woodlands Pavilion a year and a half ago. I didn't
see anybody die. That's like the loudest angriest heavy metal
band on Lamb of God was the opening act.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Nobody died, right, isn't that his job?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
I mean, I feel like at the end of the day,
and I don't expect you to answer this, but how
is it not the local government's fault. They're the ones
that dictated the rules on this. Everybody followed them and
then kids died.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Yeah. Well, and like I said, there was a report
that was put out about the shortcomings of the law
enforcement and security that were there. So if anybody wants
to check that out, you wrote the article I did
two years ago.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
This is like Kamala Harris on the Tonight Show, You've
got to read my book to find out what happened
in the one hundred days of the election.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
You're also much more in depth analysis and reports about
that that I would also go to.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
Sounds like the Spider Man meme where everyone's just pointing
accountability at the next guy.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
How everything is with accountability.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Though, well, especially since people might die, you know, the findings.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
From a political political correspondent, it's very keenan slight.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I mean, she's right about that.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
The funniest thing about that, if correct me, if I'm
wrong on this. Wasn't one of the people they wanted
to charge, wasn't it Drake? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't
he Didn't he have some involvement.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
In some way because I believe he.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Was with a teenage girl backstage? Probably Come on, doesn't
that sound something he would do?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Though?
Speaker 7 (35:22):
No comment?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
What woul Kendrick Lamr say?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Come on, dude, that's a good That is good.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
That is a good song. Okay, we'll leave that one alone.
She doesn't. You don't have to. You don't have to
explain a tragedy you had nothing to do with that.
Don't blame you for that.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Faith, what of all your recent articles here? People were
to look at your website at Crome dot com at
your author's page, not not a column as you described it,
right at the top of the screen here, who could
replace Ken Paxton's attorney general?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And then your next article?
Speaker 7 (35:50):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Chip chip Roy just jumped in and announced he's running.
There's a friend of mine that works down the hall
in the ktr H newsroom. He's a good guy. Tells
me today he thinks Trump endorses Chip chip Roy is
hated by MAGA. I have a hard time believing that
Trump would endorse Chip Roy. Do you have any thoughts
on that as a journalist?
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Yeah, I mean I wrote that article actually this morning,
and I sided in there multiple times that Chip Roy has,
you know, butted heads with President Trump in the past,
and so to think that he would get an endorsement,
I think is an interesting take. We'll definitely have to see,
but I do think it's an interesting take because there
is that tension between the relationship for a multitude of reasons,
(36:32):
the twenty twenty election as well as the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
So when you say interesting, you mean wrong obviously, because
it's not the right tick.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
It's clearly how wrong in the business of prediction.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Okay, here's what I do wonder, and I bet you
could probably answer this question for me because I wrote
an article for your website recently, and.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
I was in my website, the Houston Chronicle.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
For your company opinions.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I wrote an article for your company, the Umbrella Hurst Media,
right fair?
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Do we agree on that?
Speaker 2 (37:00):
And I was very interested to see what picture they
chose of Ken Paxton. Now I like Ken Paxton more
than John Corny. I'll admit it is hard to find.
I will admit it is hard to find a good
photo of Ken Paxton. I'll admit that he's not what
you'd call a supermodel of good looks.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
But that's not why people like him.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
They like him because he's a great legal scholar and
apparently a ladies man according to some. I'm still going
to vote for him if the picks are him and
John Cornyn, But I was curious why they picked this picture.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Who picks the photos? Faith, I'm just curious.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Actually, I'd like to backtrack for a second.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
You don't think he's a ladies man?
Speaker 7 (37:33):
Why I didn't comment on that sex machine?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
What term would you use for Ken back any.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Of those things? Why are you choosing him over Cornying?
Can you get in?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Well, you'll have to read the article. Read Here's what
I'm not a Maga Republican.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
I would say either like the five big issues that
people voted on or six. I probably agree with Trump
on four of them, but four is a lot more
than Kamal I agree with none. I'm a libertarian Republican.
I'm Ron Paul Guy. Hate war, hate censorship. I hate
that the FBI in the twenty twenty election went out
and told Twitter to censor Hunter Biden's as a journalist.
That must upset you, even if you don't agree with
that side that they told them to censor the New
(38:13):
York Post that Hunter Biden's laptop wasn't legitimate news.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
How is it the FBI's job to do that? That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
But getting back to John Cornyn, I don't like that
this guy voted for every war we've ever had. I
raised a lot of money for military veterans and wheelchairs.
I'll tell you a lot of them have PTSD. They
can't sleep at night, they're in broken marriages, they have
drug addiction. They're riddled with opioids because the stuff John
Cornyn voted yes on. Ken Paxton is not a perfect guy.
He's not a boy scout. But I'll tell you it's
(38:39):
the devil I know versus the Ken. Paxton's done a
great job of suing every company. I hate Pfizer, Jesse.
He sued Pfizer, he sued Maderna, he sued we just
talked about kell Ogg, Right, Yeah, I ask you a question,
as a MAHA guy, who do you trust more, John Cornyn,
mister big business or Ken Paxton?
Speaker 6 (38:55):
The guy just sued every company you had. I don't
know the political figures, but one in doubt. Trusting big pharma,
big ag, big food, big chemicals typically doesn't yield good results.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Okay, well that's John Cornyn gets money from these people.
He's been friendly with him for decades. John Cornyn is
a guy who would vote yes on any war, So
there's gonna be a Warren. He'd answer yes before you
finish the question anything. Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell
votes yes on.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
These are old school, neo Khan paleo conservative Republicans. They
care what you smoke, they care who you have sex with.
They want to censor you. They're basically everything that's wrong
with the Democrats with everything that's wrong with the Republicans
in one big package.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
That's what I don't like about John Cornyn.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Ken Paxton never voted to send my friends to go
die in Afghanistan in.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
A twenty five year war.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Ken Paxton never voted to send more money to Ukraine
and war. I'll tell you what. In Ukraine and Russia,
you know who the bad guy is both sides. You
want to see a group of people that hate us
and don't care about us. It's pretty much any oligarchy
in Eastern Europe. Before this war happened, Ukraine didn't have
legal gay marriage, women didn't have rights. All that stuff
happened during a small period of time so that they
(40:04):
could try to convince Western political figures to give more
money to them. Like Ukraine was never pro gay before this.
That happened during the war. They haven't had an election
since the war started. If they did, I think people
would be pretty shocked to learn. There's a strikingly large
number of people in Ukraine that don't like Zelinsky and
probably wouldn't vote for him. He outlawed the opposition party.
(40:25):
And oh, by the way, this is one of John
Cornyn's buddies. I could talk about this for a long time, obviously.
What do you like about him?
Speaker 7 (40:31):
What do I like about John Corneck? Well, you asked
me for a reason we're endorse.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
You don't endorse anything.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Or because you're politically because you're politically asymmetrical, ambiguous. I'm kidding,
But why did you ask me that question? Faith boogin
Hagen of cron dot com.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
I just thought the listeners should know if they haven't
read your op ed. I know I did read it.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
You know I've written.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
You know I host this talk show, right They probably
they've heard me do that ramp before. I could talk
about that for three hours. I do not like John Corny.
I do not like Matt mkoyac. I think he's a
cree weird I wouldn't trust Matt mccoyac alone with any
woman in my family. I think he's a creepy weirdo.
Just thin guy just gives me the creeps. Have you
ever looked at him? That double chin, fat F word
guy is disgusting, Just a pig of a huge statement,
(41:12):
Just a greasy, piggish, slimy looking human being. And you
have to cover politics, how would you feel being alone
with Matt mccoyac on an elevator at the state Capitol, Faith,
Boog and Hogen, you don't have to answer that question.
Speaker 7 (41:23):
I am not commenting on that.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I want Matt, Matt, look at me. Matt.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I promise you on the camera, if you're watching this video,
I will see you again.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
I promise.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
All Right, we're gonna run out of time here in
a minute, but I'll tell you what. Let's do you
guys have to run or can you hang for ten minutes?
Do you have to run? We're gonna do some bonus
here for those of you watching us on social media.
Don't go anywhere, stick around. I want to watch my
favorite video from this week for a second time. I
want to do an encore performance of the Rhode Island
Attorney General who kept repeating the pack that she is
(41:54):
an AAG before she got arrested for getting blackout drunkenness
seafood restaurant.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Who does that?
Speaker 2 (42:01):
But to those of you listening on the radio, join
us on social media in just a few short moments,
I love you all.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
We'll be back bright early tomorrow morning for more of
what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 8 (42:14):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happy this radio.
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
Jack Gan of government sucks insuit of happing as radio
is de ux Liberty and freedom will make you smile
for sud of happen and us on your radio to
ol justice, cheeseburgers and a liberty price at for food.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
A store has opened in China that sells life size robots,
robots that do things like cook and clean and other housework,
and probably a lot of sex.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I'm sure that's part of it as well.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We talked we've talked about that on our Mornage show today,
But I just want to remind everybody we don't have
to worry about that in here in Houston because our
former mayor, Mayor Sylvester Turner passed a law that will
protect us from robots, sex, brothels. While it may not
be illegal to do almost any kind of crime in
this city, one thing you cannot do is have sex
with the robot for money. Anyway, We're not going to
(00:53):
talk about that at all on today's show. We do
have a long list of interesting guests. My buddy Tim
Mathis is stopping by. He's a stand up comedian. We're
gonna go to Hollywood where it's gonna get weird. Oh
also on the show this afternoon. A right wing environmentalist
and a Houston Chronicle reporter are both going to be
in this studio. We're going to live stream in a
short time, so hang around for that. His name's Jesse,
(01:14):
her name's Faith. We'll get to them shortly before we
get to any of it. Breitbart dot Com reporting today
on how the richest man in the world is reportedly
decided to become a Republican again. Elon Musk cooling his
jets after announcing back in July. Boy, it was a
long time ago. A lot's changed since July. In July,
he said he was going to launch a third party
to challenge Republicans in MAGA in twenty twenty eight. Now
(01:37):
he's not going to do that, Elon Musk told political allies.
According to The Wall Street Journal, he wants to focus
his attention on his companies, and he's reluctant to alienate
powerful Republicans by starting a third party instead. Per the Journal,
Musk has been focused in part on maintaining ties with
Vice President Jade Vance. Apparently those two guys are pretty tight.
He thinks that's the guy that needs to be the
(01:58):
heir to the MAGA political movement. Musk is seriously considering
using some of his vast financial resources to back JD.
Van's if he decides to run, which it sounds like
you will now. For months, Elon has been a key
member of Trump's White House. Actually he was something more
like Trump's adopted son. At great personal costs, Musk enthusiastically
(02:19):
launched the Doge initiative. As I'm sure you remember, they
were supposed to audit the federal government, and they did.
They found a lot of waste, a lot of fraud,
a lot of abuse. The first crack in this happy
family was reported when there was an argument with Musk
and the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen. Then came the Summer's
Big Beautiful Bill, and Musk didn't love it. He made
(02:40):
a good point, He said, the bill can either be
big or beautiful, it can't be both.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
And he's right.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Elon Musk was right about that. But since that happened,
there was some accusations made by Elon Musk on his
ex account attacking Trump personally, like some debunked nonsense about
Trump being named in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files. We
have now learned from Bill Barr not exactly an ally
to Donald Trump that it's not true. Trump isn't really
(03:06):
part of the Jeffrey Epstein story, at least not in
any nefarious, salacious way. Trump retaliated with a threat to
cancel Musk's extensive government contracts. A few days later, Musk apologized,
then he deleted the post. But then in early July,
Musk announced he was going to start the American Party. Now,
I know what you're thinking, The America Party. Isn't that
(03:26):
already a thing? No, no, no, he was called the
American Party. It's different. It's the same, but different. Fast
forward six weeks, Musk appears to have cooled down, and
again he's facing reality. Musk and his associates have told
people close to him that he's considering using his money
to help JD.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Musk spent three hundred million dollars to support Trump in
twenty twenty four, and it worked.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Now here's the reality of all this.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Unless there's a deep recession or China successfully invades the
US mainland, president, vice President Jade Vance will probably win
in twenty two. I think he will. I don't think
that Gavin Newsom's popular enough, not even in his own state.
It's not just that the Democrats are an absolute disaster
focused on protecting illegal alien rapists and mutilating kids. Although
(04:11):
that's certainly true, there is the undeniable fact that JD.
Vance is one of the most skilled politicians anyone's ever seen.
Do you remember when he was debating Kamala Harris's running mate.
I know a lot of you probably don't even remember
what his name was. It was Tim Walls or was
it Tim Kaine. Nobody can tell the difference between those
two guys. He actually made Tim Walls like him during
(04:33):
that debate. Remember Saturday Night Live did a bit about
how those two guys actually seem to be getting along,
and it almost sounded like Tim Walls wanted to vote
for JD.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Vans.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What's more, while Democrats demand the border be reopened, and
they want to put gay porn back in elementary schools,
and they want all the violent criminals released, JD. Vance
will be backed by the most skilled politician of a lifetime,
of my lifetime, Donald J.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Trump. The Jay stands for genius.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Sure, Mus could pour another three hundred million dollars into
a presidential election, but to what end? To feed his
spite by handing the reins of power back to the
war loving fascists and the Democrat Party, the American Taliban,
the same people who tore down history, the same people
who openly hate the Jews and oppress women with their
trans junk. They sense your speech, they queer your kids.
(05:24):
They cement riots and racial division, and they encourage the
assassination of their political opponents, not to mention raiding their
homes with a swat team. The good news for Musk
is that the Maga movement is not the unforgiving, forever
cast out the Judas political left.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
We get it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Families fight sometimes bitterly. We forgive, we forget, We move on.
Musk is always welcome back in the Republican Party. We
don't celebrate cancel culture here.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty, Houston.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
This is interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
One quarter of Americans say they want to quote take
a break from sex. It's ridiculous. If you want to
take a break from sex, just get married. It's as
simple as that. How old are these people? Y'all kidding me?
Are you telling me? Is a man? You don't know
what it feels? Like to be devastated, crushed, humiliated, rejected, wounded, defeated, betrayed, shattered, dejected, forlorn, desponded, crestfallen, disheartened,
(06:35):
ashamed of the man that you are.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You got nothing to be ashamed of. You're a man.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Put your pants back on and walk the walk, young man.
You can't let a woman decide who you're gonna be.
You can't let you sexuality dictate where you're going in
this world.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's insane. You gotta look that woman in the eye.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You got to tell her to just walk on by.
I'm sorry, are we on the air right now?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I know we were doing a radio segment.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Or what?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Boy howdy?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
A new movie about the life of Shenead O'Connor is
in the works. I can't wait to watch the pope
tear it apart.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I kid, you know who.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I want to talk to my buddy on the line
right now, Tim Mathis is here. Tim and I were
just watching this. I mean, I guess it's a segment
of Bill Maher's show. Bill Maher is really eating the
red pill. Recently oh men. I don't watch his show,
but Breitbart in the conservative news media, they love to
pick apart all the little moments where he agrees with
us and late night hosts Bill Maher body slammed California
(07:39):
and the Democrats who've turned into an anti business hell
hole as of late.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's a lot of examples of this happening right now.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
But nearly seventy percent of people in California say they
are unhappy with the state. Forty percent say they are
thinking about leaving right now. That's a lot, you guys.
It's a tough place to live. You know who lived
there and left. My buddy, stand up comedian Tim mathis, Tim,
why'd you leave California?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
The exact same reasons Bill Maher's talking about. So I
know that we've talked about. They were making a micro
budget movie and we had to do an LLC in California.
It was going to cost us seven hundred and fifty
dollars just to apply. In Texas it was free. So
(08:24):
you know, that's that's the common theme with California. They
just make it so hard to make money out there
for the state, which is crazy. So they've really shot
themselves in the foot over and over again, and people
like mar finally starting to take notice. So that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Is it. Do you watch his show?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Is it that like Breitbart and Daily Caller and Fox
News will find all the moments when he praises Tromp
or disagrees with Gavin Newsom, And I got to think
it's not. As someone that doesn't watch it and I
just see the clips on social media, cable news, it
leads to me to believe he's like a Republican now,
But there are probably just as many moments on that
show where he's criticizing conservatives, right, isn't that the stick?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Yeah? I mean he plays both sides, which is, you know,
fine with me as long as he's being honest about
you know, stuff like this he does. You know, he's
wrong on a lot of other stuff, but on this
he's dead right.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, Okay, well, very cool. It's nice to see he's
right once.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Have you ever heard this that he used to be
roommates in college with Rand Paul or that they were
friends or something.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I had no idea. I know that Jon Stewart was
roommates with Anthony Wiener.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I know you didn't just tell a joke, but it's
still funny to me.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
All right, speaking of Hollywood leaving the our people leaving
the places where you expect to see them. Apparently a
lot of Marvel comic stuff for Disney World, a lot
of the Marvel movies and TV shows they filmed in Georgia,
more specifically Atlanta. Some people refer to Atlanta as Black Hollywood,
and I find that to be a little marginalizing to
black people or to Atlanta, because it looks like they're
(10:04):
doing more in Atlanta than just you know, Tyler Perry movies.
I mean, to that point, Disney was there, But to
that point, Disney's now leaving. What do you what's your
take on this?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
It's not surprising. Unfortunately, That's what Hollywood does. It goes
wherever the cheapest work is the cheapest workforce. For example,
a lot of your action films are filmed in places
like Eastern Europe. So it's it's very unfortunate that this
(10:35):
is happening Georgia. As far as movie production was really exploding,
it was actually at one point there was more TV
and film productions going on in Atlanta than there was
in Hollywood. But now I guess that's about to change.
It looks like Disney is, instead of making better movies
(10:57):
and you know that will make more money, they're going
to continue to make crappy films and move them to
the UK. So they just chose the path of least resistance.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It looks like, all right, I know it sounds good
on its surface, but do we really want to have
a spider Man with a British accent?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
That could be pretty interesting. But yeah, I agree with you,
it is it is. It's it's troubling that this is
the way that Hollywood cuts corners and cuts budgets instead
of doing things like you know, just making it more
affordable to make movies. In the United States, one of
(11:42):
our main industries is the film industry. We were the
first country to really start that up in a big amount.
We we are the leader in film and TV and
to see Disney taking the cheap way out and moving
to the UK is not a good look and hopefully
(12:05):
it won't continue to happen. I'm kind of disappointed that
Texas didn't try to get that Marvel money to come
to our state, but you know, it is what it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Is, Okay, So to your point, there a lot of
people in Texas are mad right now that this in
this past legislative session, the first one, not the failed
one we just had or the one we're having now,
they did give out pass a bill that gives subsidies
to Hollywood movie studios. And I think part of the
reason why I think that upset so many Republicans and
(12:37):
Conservatives was because they didn't get US property tax relief.
So the way people see that as they're giving the
money to Hollywood instead of back to the taxpayers. I'm
sure you have mixed feelings about that. Being a guy
that produces comedy films for a living, well, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I mean I like the way that Texas is going
towards because we are planning on filming in Texas, so
this should should help our situation, and of course other
productions moving to Texas would be great. But I do
understand the pretty Texes pretty bad in Texas, so you know,
it would be better if they kind of did both,
(13:14):
but it looks like they are focusing on just the
movie production aspect for now.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
So all right.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
For those that don't remember, there used to be a
TV show called Kids in the Hall. It was very
funny it's the TV show up in Canada that Lauren
Michaels briefly produced when he left Saturday Night Live back
in the early years, and then he came back. Maybe
people remember this, maybe they don't. Dave Foley was a
guy on that show. Michael Ian Black started his career
out doing sketch comedy on MTV. I forget what the
(13:44):
show is called, but both of these guys are now
teaming up together to form an alliance of irrelevant. Yesterday's
Comedians against Maga, Canadian comedian Dave Foley joined comedian and
CNN show host Michael ian Black and unloaded on Americans,
calling us and uneducated. He said, we're deporting people like
they did in nineteen thirty nine. In nineteen thirty nine,
(14:06):
I think if I'm not mistaken, I don't know if
you're a history buffer not tim, But the controversy wasn't
that they were making people leave the country. It's that
they wouldn't let them leave the country as they were
locking them up in these camps of concentration. I don't
know if you're aware of that or not, but I
couldn't believe that we have to constantly redefine fascism or
change history around so that the left will make it
(14:27):
seem like it resembles whatever Trump's doing.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Trump's goals with Doge and obviously immigration reform was to
make people leave the country that weren't supposed to be
here and shrink the size of the country. The Nazis
did the government, that is, the Nazis did the exact opposite.
They tried to make government bigger and they wouldn't let
people leave, Right, Like, how do we make Trump into
a Nazi when he's doing the exact opposite of what
(14:52):
they did.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I just wish they would find a different example, since
the Hitler thing just doesn't fit. You know, two supposedly
great comedians which both have had their moments. Michael Ian
Black was on the State by the Way.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That's it good, Yeah, good memory. Yeah, I love that.
It was a great long It's hard to believe him
a long time ago. Michael ian Black used to be
a comedian.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah. And and of course Dave Foley was also on news
radio where he was really good. But these guys haven't
been good for a long time. And I don't know
what it is about Trump that just it rocks these
people's brains. It it makes it makes their whole like
goal of entertaining people secondary. And to see two people
(15:45):
that you know, pretend that, at least at this point,
pretend to be funny people and they can only come
up with the Hitler comparison. I mean, it's so played out.
So you want to talk about hack that is very
hacked to call Trump a Hitler or a Russian asset
(16:06):
or whatever they want to do. Now you know it's
it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You know what, you know, it's not ridiculous. The comedy
of Tim mathis comedy. Find him on x and Instagram
at Tim mathis comedy on both platforms.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
He's hilarious. That reminds me.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
We're putting together another comedy show on October fifth.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
That is a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
It's going to be the Bad Astronaut Brewing Company to
raise money for wheelchairs for Warriors. I will have a
lineup and I will have tickets available soon. That's just
a little teaser. Since Tim and I are both comics,
Hey stick around. Coming up next a journalist from the
Chronicle and a right wing environmentalist.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm going to see if I can get them to
fight with each other.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Turn that down. That is very noisy. That's something important
to say. What do I have to say?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
According to a new poll, fifty four percent of people
would reach into a festival toilet to retrieve their.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Telephone like their iPhone. I guess.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Meanwhile, at the gathering at the Juggalos, nine percent of
attendees would reach into a toilet on a dare, probably
for ten bucks. Hi, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for joining
us for an afternoon edition to Pursue a Happiness radio.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
We are live streaming right now.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
If you're listening to us on the radio and you're
curious what we look like, don't be it's really not.
There's not much to see here. But I am joined
by a gallley of Craze, a Motley crue if you will.
People today, A bunch of people in the studio coming
back today. He's been here before. Right wing environmentalist Jesse Henry.
What happened to your camera?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Jesse? What what did you do? Fix it? I don't know, man,
I'm sorry, can you fix that? Somebody screws up the
threading on this. Really, that really screws up the show.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Jesse, Henry is here. Jesse, you're a renewable guy. You're
one of the MAHA people.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah, did you have to introduce me as a right
wing environmentalist? Yeah, like like Ted Kaczynski.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And then also here right now is Faith Bugenhaw and
she's a Mexican, as you could tell by her last name,
Faith welcome.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
What would what would inspire you to do something like this?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Oh, I have no idea, you're instantly regretting. No, not exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
This is a political news talk station, so our listeners
that are you know, news savvy, probably know who you are.
You are the cron dot com reporter for politics, and
you are politically ambiguous. That's right, the ambiguously political duo.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You're not non binary. She's not on the right. She's not.
And I will admit is somebody that reads your column regularly.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
You are a column? I write articles?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, okay, but what would you isn't there a word
for this? This is I would assume this is called
a column, right, is that not?
Speaker 7 (18:44):
That's just my author's page of articles, so it's not
called a call already fact checking you?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, see I thought the age of fact checkers was
over faith. No, no, it's not okay. People don't trust
Snopes anymore. Have you seen this before? There was a
report that came out it said a lot of these
guys that run these websites like Snopes and PolitiFact dot
com are x FBI XCIA agents.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Now is someone that works in journalism?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Why do you think if you had to guess, you know,
just as a human being, not as the official spokesperson of.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Chron dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Why is it so important for ex intelligence agents to
go out and make sure people on social media are
aware of what the establishment's opinions are about things.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You're nervous, aren't you. You're rocking in your chair.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I'm not nervous at all. I just like moving when talking.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It is as I recently wrote an op ed for
last week for the Houston Chronicle and it went viral,
which is not what your news outlet is. Your news
outlet here, get that my closer to your mouth. Your
news outlet is cron dot com. Cron dot com and
the Houston Chronicle are different for a reason, Right, Houston Chronicle,
you pay for cron dot Com is ad based if
I'm not mistaken, ye, but subscription. But why is it
(19:54):
so important to you that people know you don't write
for the Houston Chronicles.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Well, they are two separate publications, and I feel like
those Hustonians actually don't know that. So I love to,
you know, get the word out there that we are
separate publications.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Carn dot com isn't really his opinion driven.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
People often assume that your news outlet is like has
a liberal bias, or that you're left of center. And
I thought that for a long time, and I will
admit one of your co workers sort of he works
with the Chronicle, Evan Mintz, allowed me to write an
op ed recently, and they didn't. They let me say
whatever I want, and I roasted John Cornyn. I even
pointed out how one of his chief staffers was accused
(20:31):
of hiring an escort with a Venmo account, just being
a creepy, and they put all that in the article.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
They let me publish all of it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And I will admit faith after a long time of
Hatinghurst media, I now don't necessarily feel that way anymore
about you guys. And some of our listeners are mad
at me for it. But my whole problem with you
guys was that I thought you guys censored right wing thinkers,
and it would seem as though, at least with some
of the new management, that's not what's happening. And I look,
(20:57):
I call balls and strikes. I commend you guys on that.
I think that's very cool.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Yeah, well, I cannot speak to management decisions because I'm
not management. But I think it's important to note that
you wrote an op ed, and editorial is separate from well,
opinion separate from editorial, so that's important.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So what you're saying is that while the editorial section
would allow a right wing thinker such as me to exist,
the news team would never let that happen because you guys,
I said, Okay.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Again fact checking, Kenny, it's not at all what I said.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Fair enough, faith, you are doing a good job so far.
I commend you on that.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
In the studio right now, as well as mister Jesse,
Henry Jesse. I actually thought it would be interesting to
invite both of you here on the same day for
two reasons. Number One, yesterday I was in Baton Rouge
giving a speech with Governor Jeff Landry to the Oil
and gas executives, and we were talking about a topic
it wasn't. You guys aren't necessarily political at least even
though you're a political reporter. And what you're talking about
(21:53):
is something, Jesse, that the effect is affected by this.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Current administration, the MAHA movement.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You're not here today to talk about immigration reform or
anything like that. You're really bothered by microplastics in our testicles.
And I've been checking all morning and I have not
found any microplastics in my testicles.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now, I try to be objective on this.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
You say it's bad, But for people that have that problem,
won't they.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Save a lot of money on prophylactics they could.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
I think you need to check your testicles again, though, Kenny,
because I think there might be some there. They currently
microplastics are in one hundred percent of men's balls.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
They don't make a magnifying glass that small, unfortunately, Jesse,
that's the problem. You had a list today of what
foods to eat to make sure you have the least
microplastics in your testicles.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Is that true? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:36):
I mean I think you know it's cut down on
the hot coffees and teas and the cups that are plastic.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
And what are you drinking out of right now? I'm
just curious.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
What is that Kenny Webster sponsored styrofoam cup? What is
the problem with styrofoam?
Speaker 7 (22:49):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
When I moved to Texas.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I grew up in Illinois, in the north suburbs of Chicago,
never seen a styrofoam cup in my life, and I
moved down here there is styrofoam everywhere. I was really
excit I did about styrofoam cups. It's like the the
material of the future. But you say it's not.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Polystyrene is one of the worst chemistries for human health
according to WHO. According to the World the World, Yes
in fact check in faith, give this guy hell for that.
The world can't accord. What are the foods besides? Why
tea and coffee because it's hot and it yeah, I
mean the tea bags are made of polypropylene, so you're
getting millions of microplastics when you have the tea the coffee.
(23:27):
It's it's it's the temperature in the cup that's creating
the plastic liner to degrade.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
In the hot coffees and teas.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
But if you go to like seafood, for example, there's
a lot of bioaccumulation of microplastics and seafood, so it's
in all the foods and drinks.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
It's really tough to get rid.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Of, but it tastes great apparently because we're not stopping
it anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
And the whole goal here is really you know.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Sustainable chemistry is such a bipartisan issue that no one's
talking about today.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
All right, what else is putting microplastics in our ovaries
or our potest cales?
Speaker 6 (24:00):
You know, microplastics is a problem. It's not the problem.
The problem is that we're in a state of chemical
warfare and we need to figure out how to reduce
our tox and exposure on a day to day basis.
So if we were to just walk through the average morning, right,
you wake up, you wash your face, you brush your teeth.
Not me, You put on deodorant. Maybe not if you're
Kenny Webster, but other people they put on waste of money,
(24:21):
They put on skincare stuff, They put on clothes made
of synthetic fibers. They eat some food and drink, and
all of it, if you haven't consciously chosen it is
contaminated with synthetic chemistries. That are disrupting your hormone production,
your gut biome, and your brain chemistry.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Okay, so read through the list rough quick because I
know there's a bunch more and we're gonna run out
of time.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Here the list.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I don't have the list up in front of me
right now, but yeah, the list was seafood, it was salt.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It was sugar salt. I love salt. Know, how could
salt be a problem. It's millions of years old. I
had a salt shaker the other day, sea salt. It
said it was millions of years old on the front,
and then I looked on the back and it had
just expired. What are the odds of that, after all
those years I got bad sald?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Can you believe that? I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I know Trader Joe's wouldn't even give me a refund.
All right, So cut fish fish was number one.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah, the small fish eat the microplastics, and the bigger
fish eat the smaller fish than the biggest fish eat
the medium sized fish.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
All right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
On that note, a big news story today is that
we were getting this there radioactive Hang on, let me
put that on the screen. Radioactive shrimp from Indonesia. Now
I looked into it, and we can get shrimp right
out of the Gulf of America because of Mississippi. Right,
we've all seen that movie Forrest Gump. You remember that
scene right where he is sex with Jenny and he
doesn't get AIDS. Does that even make sense to you?
(25:38):
It makes no, not not that sea. The scene where
they're reading off all the different kinds of shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp, sandwich, shrimp, stew.
I remember this, Yes, if we can get it out
of the golf, why are we getting radioactive shrimp from Indonesia? Jesse,
oh Man, that's a really tough question.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
There's contamination at all levels one in the water, two
and processing equipment, so contamination can come from anywhere. And
they say it's mostly Walmart's fault. Apparently, huh oh, Walmart's fault.
They're definitely putting you know the pictures great.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know that's where for those I'm listening on the radio,
we're looking at pictures right now of radioactive shrimp. And
I really liked this. This one was my favorite. The
big guy right there, and weirdly enough, if you look
down there a lot of microplastics in his balls, you know,
to your part, Yeah, absolutely, you know, that's probably the
high protein diet.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It's great for you.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
RFK Junior really does not like this stuff, the microplastics,
the ultra processed foods, the gly faucet, and the electromagnetic Oh,
that's an easy word, radiation. What is his problem with
all this stuff?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Jesse? What if this is just a great origin story
for the next superhero movie?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
This, I mean, this could be a Marvel movie that
we're facing right now. Right chemical warfare is actually one
of the biggest problems on our planet and no one's
talking about it. So what RFK Junior is doing is
really great because he's tackling in all these different sectors.
It's food, it's agriculture, it's chemicals, it's pharma, and he's
trying to get these toxic ingredients out of our supply chain.
They increase human health implanetary health outcomes.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Faith is here, Faith Boog and Hagen from the Crown
dot com obviously, And what else did you.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Used to write for?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I used to write for the Houston Press for about
three years.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Ken Paxton was just involved in a lawsuit that has
Callogg's taking some of the chemicals out of cereal.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Did you cover that story?
Speaker 7 (27:18):
I did not cover it, but I did hear about it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Would Ken Paxton be the guy that you would think
would be the dude to fix fruity loops or whatever like?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
It didn't. I was a little surprised by it.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
I think there are bigger issues that he's probably attending to.
But he has filed a slew of lawsuits that are
environmentally kind of charged, so it doesn't necessarily surprise me.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Way Faith out of curiosity, though, you don't you don't
think the synthetic dies and sweeteners or that is not
at all?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
When I said that is not at.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
All, maybe check her. She didn't say that. Maybe it's
causing you know, human.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Health outcomes for our children, like increases in ADHD from
having red red dyes or maybe synthetic food colorants or
other synthetic sweeteners. That's not problem that Yeah, which chemicals
do you think we should use to kill kids? Faith,
boog and hoggencron dot com go ahead.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I never said any such thing, none of those sayings.
I just think that, you know, Paxxton has a number
of issues on his place, and he has sued for
a number of issues.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
So, in terms of issues that politicians care about, presumably
human health should be at the top of the list,
though no, well, protecting our citizens among the top of
the government is supposed to protect us.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I think we agree on that. All right.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I'll ask you this, because this is a politically ambiguous question,
as somebody that covers politics, does it surprise you that
now in twenty twenty five, it's the Republicans that care
about preservatives and chemicals in their foods and the Democrats
have kind of taken a back seat on that. I mean,
do you find that surprising as someone that's covered politics
for how old are you twenty four? Like for four years?
Or how long have you covered politics? I guess six
(28:49):
six years? Okay, But as a kid, you didn't just
get into politics. You must have been interested in this
as a teenager, right.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Slightly slightly. I actually turned out as anti cald so
I did hop into fall into politics.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Here's another politically ambiguous question. Is there any in your industry?
Is there anything as useless as a music critic? I mean,
I don't need someone to tell me if the new
radio album not useless.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Music critics are not useless?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You have to say that because your website has music critics.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
No, that's true.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Who's the most useless? Though?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
If one reporter had to go away, is it crime?
Would it be the culinary guy?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Like?
Speaker 7 (29:25):
I think there is value in free press, all free press?
What was all news reporters as well as any other
topic of reporters?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
All right, you heard it here first, she doesn't like
the editorial section.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Faith just said that. All we're going to take a
quick break.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Don't go anymore more with Faith Boogan Hoggin and Jesse Henry,
the right wing environmentalist.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Right after this, I'm listening to a pursuit of happ.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness on KPRC nin Houston.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Okay, you'll appreciate this, Faith, because you write things for
the Internet. A new survey says that reading for pleasure
has fallen by forty percent in the last couple of decades.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Here, we're surprised to hear that.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Meanwhile, reading online user agreements remain steady at zero percent.
Nobody's ever read a user agreement ever in the history
of your entire life.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Do you know what else I wonder? I don't look
at this. I never would.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
But I'm told that on adult websites at the bottom
of videos there's a comment section, Jesse Henry, who's that
for exactly?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Who's leaving a comment? Why is that?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
What would inspire someone at the end of whatever they're doing,
following the plotline avidly at the end of someone that
should be able to list at the end of that
experience to go, you know what, I'd really like people
to know what I thought of this. When you're writing Faith,
while you're writing those comments, what do you usually type there?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
I am not writing those comments, so.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You're just watching and then getting off the website. I'm
watching Faith since you're.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Hearing a lot of let's call this segment meet your journalist.
Let's be clear, she does not look at adult entertainment.
She's disgusted by it. That's fine, she's a paleo conservat
when it comes to that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
What is it.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
I did not say that you became a.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Journalist for a reason though you started working at the
Tribune and you said, no, the Free Press.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
No, I worked at the Houston Press.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The Houston Press. Okay, did they used to have a festival?
Were you guys associated with that or was that.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
I don't think we were, but that was also before
my time with them.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
So well, on that topic, why doesn't Houston have a
good music festival? Austin has music festivals, Dallas has it,
Chicago's got Lallapalooza. We're the fourth biggest city. They should
have Travis Scott to a festival.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
You know what I mean? No, OK, but it would
be great if they did it.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
You guys, you did you and I think we do
need a fun music festival that is Houston centric and
I'm sure that would draw a lot of artists.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Without giving me your opinion, you've covered this a lot.
Marty Langton was here not long ago. He is the
firefighter union president. He is a Republican primary candidate for
a county judge. Amazingly, he's this union leader for a
government group of workers, and Republicans love him right now.
I don't think that would have happened ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I like Marty. I think he's a good guy.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I've talked to him about this before, and a lot
of people that work with first responders, firefighters, cops, they
blame Sylvester Turner for that. When you hear from people
about why that Astro World. Do you know about this Jesse?
We had a big music festival here was it two
years ago? And no, he just moved here. He travels
around the country like an escort, staying at Airbnbs or whatever.
(32:28):
As a couple of years ago, a couple of years ago,
there was a rap concert here and a bunch of
kids died. There was a stampede, there were rooms. Yeah,
it was called Astro World. It was named after a
theme park that used to be here. A lot of
people blame. Some people blame live nations, Some people blame
the local political leaders, some blame the county, some blame
the city. When you get a general reading, you know,
(32:50):
not your opinion, but who do you think most people
blame for that?
Speaker 7 (32:53):
I think to your point, they blame all of kind
of the parties involved. I know that there was a
lot on Scott himself, you know, and that's kind of
been talked about in reports and all that. So I
think every party, to my understanding what I've heard from sources,
as well as when I was covering the after effect,
because I did cover that for the Houston Press, the
(33:14):
reports were put out, there was like shared responsibility as well.
A lot.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I'm going to play white Devil's advocate here on this,
and I bet I won't take the position you expect.
Live Nation throws festivals all the time, all the time.
People don't die at them, right, they follow the protocol
and the rules in each city, county, municipal government. Happens
all the time. I enjoy alternative music. I'm standing here
wearing a KMFDM shirt as I'm talking on a conservative
talk station. I've been in a lot of moshpitz. I've
(33:40):
had a lot of strangers blood and sweat on me
in my life. I've never seen children get trampled to death.
Of all the festivals, concerts, rave parties, punk shows, and
I've been to a lot, I've never seen that happen before.
I got to think the one denominating, the one factor
here that existed that didn't normally exist, and all the
other festivals and concerts these people have been involved in.
(34:00):
You know, it's Travis Scott's job as the entertainer to
get the crowd fired up. I saw Pantera at the
Woodlands Pavilion a year and a half ago. I didn't
see anybody die. That's like the loudest angriest heavy metal
band on Lamb of God was the opening act.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Nobody died, right, isn't that his job?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
I mean, I feel like at the end of the day,
and I don't expect you to answer this, but how
is it not the local government's fault. They're the ones
that dictated the rules on this. Everybody followed them and
then kids died.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Yeah. Well, and like I said, there was a report
that was put out about the shortcomings of the law
enforcement and security that were there. So if anybody wants
to check that out, you wrote the article I did
two years ago.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
This is like Kamala Harris on the Tonight Show, You've
got to read my book to find out what happened
in the one hundred days of the election.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
You're also much more in depth analysis and reports about
that that I would also go to.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
Sounds like the Spider Man meme where everyone's just pointing
accountability at the next guy.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
How everything is with accountability.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Though, well, especially since people might die, you know, the findings.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
From a political political correspondent, it's very keenan slight.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I mean, she's right about that.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
The funniest thing about that, if correct me, if I'm
wrong on this. Wasn't one of the people they wanted
to charge, wasn't it Drake? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't
he Didn't he have some involvement.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
In some way because I believe he.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Was with a teenage girl backstage? Probably Come on, doesn't
that sound something he would do?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Though?
Speaker 7 (35:22):
No comment?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
What woul Kendrick Lamr say?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Come on, dude, that's a good That is good.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
That is a good song. Okay, we'll leave that one alone.
She doesn't. You don't have to. You don't have to
explain a tragedy you had nothing to do with that.
Don't blame you for that.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Faith, what of all your recent articles here? People were
to look at your website at Crome dot com at
your author's page, not not a column as you described it,
right at the top of the screen here, who could
replace Ken Paxton's attorney general?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And then your next article?
Speaker 7 (35:50):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Chip chip Roy just jumped in and announced he's running.
There's a friend of mine that works down the hall
in the ktr H newsroom. He's a good guy. Tells
me today he thinks Trump endorses Chip chip Roy is
hated by MAGA. I have a hard time believing that
Trump would endorse Chip Roy. Do you have any thoughts
on that as a journalist?
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Yeah, I mean I wrote that article actually this morning,
and I sided in there multiple times that Chip Roy has,
you know, butted heads with President Trump in the past,
and so to think that he would get an endorsement,
I think is an interesting take. We'll definitely have to see,
but I do think it's an interesting take because there
is that tension between the relationship for a multitude of reasons,
(36:32):
the twenty twenty election as well as the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
So when you say interesting, you mean wrong obviously, because
it's not the right tick.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
It's clearly how wrong in the business of prediction.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Okay, here's what I do wonder, and I bet you
could probably answer this question for me because I wrote
an article for your website recently, and.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
I was in my website, the Houston Chronicle.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
For your company opinions.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I wrote an article for your company, the Umbrella Hurst Media,
right fair?
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Do we agree on that?
Speaker 2 (37:00):
And I was very interested to see what picture they
chose of Ken Paxton. Now I like Ken Paxton more
than John Corny. I'll admit it is hard to find.
I will admit it is hard to find a good
photo of Ken Paxton. I'll admit that he's not what
you'd call a supermodel of good looks.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
But that's not why people like him.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
They like him because he's a great legal scholar and
apparently a ladies man according to some. I'm still going
to vote for him if the picks are him and
John Cornyn, But I was curious why they picked this picture.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Who picks the photos? Faith, I'm just curious.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Actually, I'd like to backtrack for a second.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
You don't think he's a ladies man?
Speaker 7 (37:33):
Why I didn't comment on that sex machine?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
What term would you use for Ken back any.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Of those things? Why are you choosing him over Cornying?
Can you get in?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Well, you'll have to read the article. Read Here's what
I'm not a Maga Republican.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
I would say either like the five big issues that
people voted on or six. I probably agree with Trump
on four of them, but four is a lot more
than Kamal I agree with none. I'm a libertarian Republican.
I'm Ron Paul Guy. Hate war, hate censorship. I hate
that the FBI in the twenty twenty election went out
and told Twitter to censor Hunter Biden's as a journalist.
That must upset you, even if you don't agree with
that side that they told them to censor the New
(38:13):
York Post that Hunter Biden's laptop wasn't legitimate news.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
How is it the FBI's job to do that? That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
But getting back to John Cornyn, I don't like that
this guy voted for every war we've ever had. I
raised a lot of money for military veterans and wheelchairs.
I'll tell you a lot of them have PTSD. They
can't sleep at night, they're in broken marriages, they have
drug addiction. They're riddled with opioids because the stuff John
Cornyn voted yes on. Ken Paxton is not a perfect guy.
He's not a boy scout. But I'll tell you it's
(38:39):
the devil I know versus the Ken. Paxton's done a
great job of suing every company. I hate Pfizer, Jesse.
He sued Pfizer, he sued Maderna, he sued we just
talked about kell Ogg, Right, Yeah, I ask you a question,
as a MAHA guy, who do you trust more, John Cornyn,
mister big business or Ken Paxton?
Speaker 6 (38:55):
The guy just sued every company you had. I don't
know the political figures, but one in doubt. Trusting big pharma,
big ag, big food, big chemicals typically doesn't yield good results.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Okay, well that's John Cornyn gets money from these people.
He's been friendly with him for decades. John Cornyn is
a guy who would vote yes on any war, So
there's gonna be a Warren. He'd answer yes before you
finish the question anything. Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell
votes yes on.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
These are old school, neo Khan paleo conservative Republicans. They
care what you smoke, they care who you have sex with.
They want to censor you. They're basically everything that's wrong
with the Democrats with everything that's wrong with the Republicans
in one big package.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
That's what I don't like about John Cornyn.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Ken Paxton never voted to send my friends to go
die in Afghanistan in.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
A twenty five year war.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Ken Paxton never voted to send more money to Ukraine
and war. I'll tell you what. In Ukraine and Russia,
you know who the bad guy is both sides. You
want to see a group of people that hate us
and don't care about us. It's pretty much any oligarchy
in Eastern Europe. Before this war happened, Ukraine didn't have
legal gay marriage, women didn't have rights. All that stuff
happened during a small period of time so that they
(40:04):
could try to convince Western political figures to give more
money to them. Like Ukraine was never pro gay before this.
That happened during the war. They haven't had an election
since the war started. If they did, I think people
would be pretty shocked to learn. There's a strikingly large
number of people in Ukraine that don't like Zelinsky and
probably wouldn't vote for him. He outlawed the opposition party.
(40:25):
And oh, by the way, this is one of John
Cornyn's buddies. I could talk about this for a long time, obviously.
What do you like about him?
Speaker 7 (40:31):
What do I like about John Corneck? Well, you asked
me for a reason we're endorse.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
You don't endorse anything.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Or because you're politically because you're politically asymmetrical, ambiguous. I'm kidding,
But why did you ask me that question? Faith boogin
Hagen of cron dot com.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
I just thought the listeners should know if they haven't
read your op ed. I know I did read it.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
You know I've written.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
You know I host this talk show, right They probably
they've heard me do that ramp before. I could talk
about that for three hours. I do not like John Corny.
I do not like Matt mkoyac. I think he's a
cree weird I wouldn't trust Matt mccoyac alone with any
woman in my family. I think he's a creepy weirdo.
Just thin guy just gives me the creeps. Have you
ever looked at him? That double chin, fat F word
guy is disgusting, Just a pig of a huge statement,
(41:12):
Just a greasy, piggish, slimy looking human being. And you
have to cover politics, how would you feel being alone
with Matt mccoyac on an elevator at the state Capitol, Faith,
Boog and Hogen, you don't have to answer that question.
Speaker 7 (41:23):
I am not commenting on that.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I want Matt, Matt, look at me. Matt.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I promise you on the camera, if you're watching this video,
I will see you again.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
I promise.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
All Right, we're gonna run out of time here in
a minute, but I'll tell you what. Let's do you
guys have to run or can you hang for ten minutes?
Do you have to run? We're gonna do some bonus
here for those of you watching us on social media.
Don't go anywhere, stick around. I want to watch my
favorite video from this week for a second time. I
want to do an encore performance of the Rhode Island
Attorney General who kept repeating the pack that she is
(41:54):
an AAG before she got arrested for getting blackout drunkenness
seafood restaurant.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Who does that?
Speaker 2 (42:01):
But to those of you listening on the radio, join
us on social media in just a few short moments,
I love you all.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
We'll be back bright early tomorrow morning for more of
what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 8 (42:14):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happy this radio.
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
