Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Jiganic government sucks soon of happing US radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
happing and us on your radio to al justice, Cheeseburgers
living it Rise at food.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Time.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Breaking news from Hollywood. Convicted killers Lyle and Eric Menendez
will be participating in an upcoming Netflix documentary. Wow. If
their parents were still alive, they'd be so proud of them. Hi,
I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for turning on your radio. Daniel
Turner stopping by today from Power the Future. We got
(00:41):
a lot going on to stay tuned for the next hour.
As always, if you ever miss a minute of this
radio show or the morning show, there's a podcast you
can Oh who doesn't love a podcast. By the way,
we have a smartphone app you can use to listen
to the podcast called the Walton and Johnson App. It's
a little different from the iHeartRadio app because it's ours.
I think it's better and no offense. No our Iheart's great,
(01:03):
But you know what our our app does. Our app
lets you shop in the Walton Johnson online store. We
got a lot of great merchandise available right now for
Columbus Day, which is coming up and Halloween and the election,
and you can get tickets to our comedy show. Our
comedy show is happening Sunday, November tenth at Bad Astronaut
Brewing Company or brewery. I'm not sure which it's, but
(01:26):
Bad Astronaut it's a brewery in Houston. And don't just
show up though. You gotta get tickets. You gotta get
them in advance. And the best way to get tickets
is to download the Walton Johnson app. It's free, it's
easy to use. The tickets aren't free, they cost twenty
five bucks. But it's a tax deductible donation to wheelchairs
for warriors. So what an awesome cause that is a
very cool thing. Hey, only twenty five bucks, that's pretty cheap. Actually,
(01:50):
that's a lot cheaper than say, five hundred million dollars.
Why would you say that number? Thank you, imaginary voice
in the back of the room. Five hundred million dollars
is the amount of money that the US Department of
Defense will be spending annually on women's health research. Yeah no,
you heard that correctly. The US Department of Defense, the
(02:10):
Pentagon is going to spend a half a billion dollars
every year to research women's health, which seems a little odd.
Why would the people tasked with drone bombing orphanages in
the Mideast be concerned with doing research on the health
of one half of the species. It actually gets a
little weirder than it sounds, given who announced the funding
(02:31):
and where the announcement was made by First Lady Joe Biden.
She unveiled it at the Pentagon's Plan this year at
the Clinton Global Initiative. Yes, that's right, an annual conference
co founded by Bill and Hillary Clinton. That's where President
Joe Biden. Excuse me, First Lady Joe Biden made the announcment.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
The reason I'm so glad that you invited me here
today is this big announcement. So the Department of Defense
has now committed half a billion billion dollars to women's
health to women in the service, which then transcends to
(03:12):
all women.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
And so I've seen that.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yay, hooray. Moments after Joe made the announcement, the Clinton's
honored Joe with the twenty twenty four Clinton Clinton Global
Initiative Citizen Award. What exactly is that?
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I wonder?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Does that mean he drowned a bunch of babies and Haiti.
Turning to address Hillary Clinton, who stood alongside Joe, I said,
I love you. I love you Hill. Oh good. I'm
so glad that they're all getting along.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Gloria. I want to thank you, and I maybe shouldn't
do this public, but thank you personally for the way
you have helped me, helped him.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You've spoken up for me, spoken up. I think he
defended She defended Joe. She said Joe shouldn't have to
drop out of the race just so Mala can be
the first woman president. Okay, that's not quite how it went,
but even still, The thing I really want everyone to
take away from this is how strange it is that
First Lady Joe Biden announced the Department of Defense, an
(04:12):
organization she has nothing to do with, will be spending
a half a billion dollars on women's health and researching
women's health, which generally is a topic the Pentagon has
nothing to do with. And they did this at the
Clinton Global Initiative event hosted by Chelsea Clinton. Yes Chelsea
was there too. All very bizarre, isn't It really makes
you wonder what the heck is going on here? It's
(04:34):
not a cabinet meeting. It's not the White House, certainly
not the Pentagon. So why exactly is Joe Biden making
this announcement? What is she being offered? Or rather, what
is she doing? What is she what is her involvement?
What is her role in all of this supposed to
amount to? It is possible the reason they ever doing
(04:55):
this is because people, particularly voters, particularly voters in the
Democrat Party, you are moderate undecided voters, still don't like Joe.
They don't like Joe so much that they might not
vote for Kamala if they're even reminded that Joe exists.
They asked this question recently at town hall dot com
after some polling data was published revealing Joe still ain't
(05:16):
very popular, And the question is this, should Joe step
down before his term ends? That's actually a question that
the I and I tipp poll posed to voters twice
since he was pushed off the Democrat Party ticket. So
they were asked which answer would be in the best
interest of the US. Biden should finish his term or
(05:37):
Biden should leave and let Kamala take over, And a
very hefty forty two percent of voters actually agree that
Biden should step down and hand over the presidency to Harris.
Only twenty one percent seem to think he should remain
in office. Another eleven percent and said they're not sure
(06:01):
because there's always undecided voters in that amazing and they
remarkable that he's still this unpopular. Why does this matter
only forty days until the election? I think analysis of
the survey reminds voters that Biden's still in office. He's
going to be there till January twentieth, twenty twenty five,
and there's a lot of pressing issues on the domestic
(06:23):
and international stage that need to be answered, like who's
dealing with the inflation crisis? And why isn't crime data
being shared with the FBI? And how is it we're
suddenly involved in four major wars around the world? And oh,
by the way, why is First Lady Joe Biden speaking
at the first full cabinet meeting in nearly a year? Yeah,
(06:44):
that happened too. You're sitting here wondering, why does it
suddenly seem like Jill Biden is the president? Maybe she
should be asking herself when was Joe Biden the president?
Kind of seems like Jill's Jill's been doing the heavy
lifting since day one. Shows is a star cousin right here.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
It's ha worked to host the show with a couple
of knucklehears.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Key Western Gia. It's uh, it's one hit wonder Day.
I don't know why it's one hit. Nobody knows. Why
is it one hit wonder Day. It's like Blueberry strudele Day.
Wednesday is gonna be National slap a Hobo Day? Like, no,
that's not what it is. But who comes up with
this stuff? Apparently some DJ I don't know. I'll look
(07:32):
it up during commercial. It's not important. What's important is
that Donald Trump is now attacking Kamala Harris for lying.
He claims she lied about having a job at McDonald's.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
If she's gonna say it, I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
I worked at McDonald's two. I worked there a long time.
I actually started the company. I was great friends, got
along very well with Ronald McDonald. They said it's ronin Don.
They said it's Ronan Don. I recently brought back the
five dollars. I got on the phone with Ronald McDonald
and I said, ron listen, just like I handled Abduel
(08:06):
with Afghanistan. You know what I'm talking about. I said,
ron if you don't bring back the five dollar meal deal,
we're gonna drone your house. Look at your beautiful house.
We're gonna take it out and you're gonna be in there.
And he said, sir, we're bringing back the five dollar
meal deal. Because Kamala Namik says destroyed people's wallets, it's
destroyed your bank account. And she says she worked in
(08:30):
McDonald's and a lot of people are saying that's fake news.
But maybe she did, and maybe that's where she learned
how to serve those big, beautiful word salads. But if
she's gonna say it, I'm gonna say it. The Golden
Arches I built them with my own two hands. We
made the greatest McNuggets. We were going to call them
something else, but we called them McNuggets because we wanted
(08:52):
to stay. They call it on brand. I worked in McDonald's.
I founded McDonald's. I was great friends with Ronald McDonald
and it is because of me that that company is
doing so well. If she's going to say it, I'm
going to say it.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That's okay. I have a confession to make. That's not
actually Donald Trump that now I know it sounded just
like it wasn't. This is Donald Trump yesterday in Savannah, Georgia,
talking about Kamala and whether or not she actually worked
at McDonald's. Remember one other thing, and I think it's terrible.
She lied about McDonald's.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
She said, I was a worker in McDonald's and I
stood over the French fries.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I'm going to McDonald's over the next two.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Weeks and I'm gonna stand over the French fries because
I want to see what her job really wasn't like,
because she's never I stood over the French fries and
that was tough.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It was hot outside and it was hot over. She
never worked. There was a lie. That's pretty funny. That
is pretty funny. Come on, you know, Donald Trump actually
did work for McDonald's back in the nineties, sort of.
For those of you that are old enough to remember
the nineties, do you remember this TV commercial?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Hot know how you do it?
Speaker 9 (10:00):
I put together some really impressive deals, but this thing
you pulled off, it's amazing, a big and tasty for
just a dollar?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
How do you do it? What's your secret? It's Grimace?
He's with Grimace. You got a buck.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
You're in luck because you can get a delicious, beefy,
big and tasty I'm a chicken sandwich, and lots of.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Your other Could you believe it a dollar? You could
get stuff for a dollar. We could own this time.
Donald Trump was in a commercial for McDonald's in the nineties.
You could get a big and tasty. That was the
name of a hamburger they had back then. It was
it was a patty with a tomato and lettuce on it.
And actually, I actually think tomatoes and lettuce make burgers worse.
(10:42):
Nobody wants that. Why do you why put come on?
Why would you want a salad on your cheeseburger? It
doesn't even have cheese on it. So Donald Trump raises
an interesting point here. The point is, if she's willing
to lie about this, what else will she lie about?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
The editors at Breitbart recently pointed out how the corrupt
corporate media seemed to be terrified to look into the
disputed claim that Kamala Harris once worked at McDonald's. She
either worked there or she didn't. This should be pretty easy, guys,
shouldn't be too hard to solve this one. If she
didn't work there, there'd be no evidence, and if she did,
(11:22):
there'd be some evidence. Is there a photo of her
working at McDonald's a pay stub? Any of her former
employees co workers ever remember working at McDonald's with her.
Harris has used the fact that she once worked at
McDonald's while attending college to burnish her middle class bona fides,
which are also disputed because her parents were tenured college professors.
(11:44):
Seems like she grew up with a lot of money.
But whatever, Harris is fifty nine years old, it's been
a public figure for two decades, and there's really no
record of her ever mentioning having worked at McDonald's up
until she ran for president. When she ran for senate,
when she ran for attorney general, we never heard about this.
The McDonald's job has also been part of her twenty
(12:05):
twenty four campaign, including being featured prominently in a campaign ad,
but there's no public record that shows she ever worked there,
not in her two memoirs. You know, she wrote two books.
We don't even have a copy of the nineteen eighty
seven job application for a law clerk position in the
Alameda County District Attorney's Office that required the applicant to
(12:27):
list every job held back over the last ten years
that would have included her time at McDonald's, and yet
it's not mentioned there.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Even odder than that, the Harris campaign refuses to provide
confirmation of the job, which could be done easily with
old tax documents, or simply naming what the franchise location was.
Which McDonald's did you work at? I think what's most
revealing is the media's reaction to all of this. Whenever
Trump brings up Harris's McDonald's job, whether at dinner didn't
(12:56):
exist and his more than reasonable doubt that she ever
worked there, corporate media either ignores him, or they publish
some bizarrely worded fact check to make the doubters seem
like liars, or they just ridicule him. They say he's
obsessed politifacts. Absurd fact check on this actually said no,
McDonald's didn't say there's no record Kamala Harris worked at
the fast food chain. Okay, but did McDonald's confirm she
(13:19):
worked there? They didn't. That's a fact that PolitiFact, much
like the rest of the media, is scared to look into.
So instead of confirming the only fact that matters, PolitiFact
plays semantics to make it look like those who question
her McDonald's claim are liars. USA Today did it too,
and so did Jimmy Kimmel, and so did MSN. It
(13:43):
goes on and on, AOL News, Yahoo, Wait a second, MSN,
AOL and Yahoo those still at whatever, guys. These are
mainstream corporate media outlets CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS, PBSM,
The Washington Post, The New York Times. They've just ignored
the story. This tells us two things. The first is
(14:08):
that none of Harris's many media allies have been able
to confirm that she worked at McDonald's. Second, the media
is terrified to look into it because they're terrified that
they'll discover she lined. Then they'll have to publish the
lie after the election, after it matters, kind of like
with the Hunter Biden laptop. They'll eventually look into it.
(14:30):
But this I know, no one has been able to
confirm that Kamala Harris told the truth about working some
mundane job at McDonald's. It should be pretty easy to
prove because if they knew, we'd know about it. They
don't know, which means it's probably a lie.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
You are listening to the pursuit of happiness. Radio pursuit
of happiness. We don't have that in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Israel, and k Aalestine, Ukraine. Those are just the big ones.
There's little wars. There's a war down in Columbia right now,
with a bunch of Gorilla militia guys out in the
jungle near the Darien Gap. Yeah. I know there's wars
on almost every continent. It'd be easier to tell you
where there's no war. Antarctica. I think, maybe Australia, although
(15:20):
I got to think the government there is still probably
at war with their own citizens for violating COVID protocol.
But all that being said, we got bigger problems, guys,
with all this war going on. You would think that
yesterday the Biden family making a big announcement about the
Pentagon spending a half a billion dollars on something it
would probably have something to do with war. Turns out
(15:40):
you'd be wrong if you're just turning on your radio.
We mentioned earlier in the show, how Joe Biden, Oh God,
I just did it. Sorry, hang on, let me crack myself,
doctor very important doctor of Joe Biden made a big
announcement at the Clinton Global Initiative dinner in New York City,
that the Pentagon is going to be spending a half
a billion dollars every year to research women's health. Why
(16:04):
are they doing that? Nobody know. Nobody has a clue
as all it's taken place. Joe's been all over the
place lately. He was at Unga, you know, the United
Nations General Assembly. I know we all call it Unga obviously.
And he also gave a speech to a Bloomberg philanthropist
for him. And he spent a lot of time this
week talking about I mean, he doesn't know this, but
he spent a lot of time reading words on the
(16:25):
teleprompter related to climate change.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Go ahead, Joe, when it comes to the climate, every
time I talk about it, whether I was trying to
convince labor business to come along, I say, I think climate.
I think jobs. I think jobs, and I mean it
good union paying jobs.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And fact, good union pa. When he thinks about the
climate crisis, he thinks about union paying jobs. Here are
this reaction, Daniel Turner from Power of the Future. Daniel,
when you think about a big natural disaster destroying South
Florida right now, or what do they call it, But
what are the big bend? Is that what they call it?
Over there? Do you think of jobs?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Yeah, it's remarkable how they tell us this is an
existential threat. Right, that's a really serious phrase. Existential threat, Kenny.
We're all gonna die. Humanity's going to be wiped out.
AOC told us we had ten years left, right, she
said that seven years ago. A little Greta Thunberg tweeted
seven years ago that we had five years left. Because
it's an existential threat. And here's the president who has
(17:28):
been pushing this existential threat since he ran in twenty twenty,
and he says, I think of jobs. I mean, just
think of how weird of a construct that is. Imagine
if you know, FDR running for his fourth term in
nineteen forty four, said, you know, folks, when I look
at the war in Europe and Nazi Germany, I think
of jobs. You'd be like, well that's strange, mister president, right,
(17:50):
Like that's an odd way to look at an existential
threat of Nazism. Or if Reagan said when I look
at the Soviet Union, I see jobs. You know, he
sees an access of evil, you know, and then needs
to be defeated. So it's so bizarre that they use this,
this unrelenting language of existential threat, but then they admit, na,
(18:13):
it's just a spending opportunity.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, isn't that a weird reaction to all of this.
We're talking about something that could be I mean, they
claim it's going to kill people, that this is the
end of the world, that this is the apocalypse itself,
and yet for some reason, the Pentagon doesn't need to
worry about multiple wars and the president needs to worry
about controlling the weather. Does that make any It makes
no sense to me. And this is what he's doing
(18:37):
on his way out the door. This is how he's
gonna end his presidency. Daniel. We just saw we just
saw pulling data that said almost half of voters think
he should step down now and leave office before January comes.
What do you think of that?
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Yeah, isn't that remarkable? And it's not surprising. Actually you
look at that the speech he gave, and sadly, you know,
it was the same bimbling, muttering, stuck looking at the
at the teleprompter and unsure of where he is. But
what's his record of accomplishment? Right from when he took
office to leaving office. Look at wars in the Middle East,
(19:13):
the war in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea,
the war in Ukraine. This has all happened under his watch.
And he's still talking about climate change and his military
is giving five hundred million for women's health. I don't
know why the Pentagon is suddenly in charge of women's health,
but it's one of those issues that everyone's in charge.
I'm sure you are. What is your radio station doing
for women's health? Right? Maybe it's Women's Health Month. I forget,
(19:36):
it's September. No Women's Health Month. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
No, I don't think so, Daniel. No, And why did
Jill Biden make the announcement? Isn't that weird?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Well, she's the president.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
That's it. I mean, that's it. Else would she be
doing it.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
She sat at the head of the table and ran
the last cabinet meeting. You know, she's handing out minutes
and notes. She will write a memoir. Maybe she'll be
too angry to write a memoir, but she will write
a memoir recounting her days as the president s the
president et or you know, because she's been in charge
(20:13):
of the last couple of years, the way she shuffles
him on and off stage and walks him, you know,
to the podium and walks him away. She's been calling
the shops. We're very kept. No one voted for him.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
We're very proud of the fact. On this radio show,
we have a lot of affiliates, we have a big audience.
But in the world of radio, you know, it's a
big corporate industry. There's a lot of bigger guys out
there than us, and apparently one of them is now
Alex Soros and George Soros. They're going out and they're
they're buying up radio stations around the country. Now, a
lot of people have asked if that would affect us.
(20:42):
It won't. It doesn't affect any of our affiliates on
this radio network. Just to answer a question a lot
of listeners have been asking. But I did notice today
Alex Soros does the most interesting thing, Daniel. I don't
know if you've ever noticed this. On his Twitter account,
he flies around the country, he meets with different politicians,
gives them a check, and then he posts a photo
(21:03):
of himself with the politician. To me, this is almost
the equivalent of like when the Trump brothers go hunting
and take a picture of whatever deer they shot. Is
Alex Soros out hunting for politicians and posting his trophies
on social media?
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Yeah, Alex knows his dad is you know, one hundred
and seventy five. And Alex wants to continue in this empire.
You know, they decide who your da is, They decide
who most of your members of Congress are. So absolutely,
I mean, he is making it very clear. He posted
on Twitter a photo of him yesterday with Governor Waltz,
(21:40):
the vice presidential nominee on the Harris ticket, and he said,
I'm happy to welcome Governor Waltz to my house in Manhattan,
and they're standing about nine feet apart in the photo.
And I tweeted it with the lyrics to that police
song like don't stand so close to me. It's very
odd photo. I encourage everyone to go look at it
on social media. Why are you two standing so far apart?
(22:02):
Like who takes a picture with someone but nine feet
apart from one another? Unless even Alex Soros, himself a
pretty creepy guy, solt the creepy vibe from Tim Walls
and was like, yeah, I'll keep my distance.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Daniel, I think you explained it perfectly, and yet on
the radio without seeing how creepy this photo is, it's
still hard to really do it justice. They're standing in
front of a big window in a high rise in
New York, very super villain esque vibes, with the city
scape behind them there standing kind of far apart from
each other. Alex Soros wearing what looks like a ten
(22:37):
thousand dollars suit, standing there with tim Walls as if
he's his prize trophy buck or whatever, you know, And
you really got to wonder, like Alex Soros saying that
that's his home in New York City. Nobody believes that, right,
Like everybody knows that Alex didn't buy that house. He
didn't he didn't have a job, he didn't do anything.
That's his dad's house.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Yeah, that's his had for entertaining guests. And where he
lives what caves somewhere he lives in is probably no
one photographs and no one knows where it is. I
would encourage or or you know, strengthen your audience listeners
right now, don't be nervous about the Soros buying radio stations.
If you're old enough to remember in the late nineties
(23:20):
early two thousands, Radio Air America, Radio America. The left
made it enormous, hundreds of millions of dollars, pushed to
have radio because they were going to compete with conservative
talk radio. They were going to take on Rush Limbaugh
and Sean Hannity, and it was an absolute epic flop.
The leftist audience is too stupid and too narcissistic to
(23:42):
listen to talk radio. Talk radio is the bastion of
the right because it requires some humility to sit there
and listen, and it requires some calmness. Right. There's no
flashing screens, there's no boobs from Instagram, there's no dancing monkeys. Right,
It's a serious medium, and that's why it tends to
attract the right. So don't be nervous of the Soros
(24:04):
is doing this. Their stations are absolutely going to flop.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
The New York Times just publish this study about climate change.
Climate change, they say, is doubling the likelihood of European floods. Now,
I got to think, uh, you know, I'm not a
scientific expert here, Daniel, but I would assume climate change
is one hundred percent the reason for all floods unless
a pipe, unless a piper somewhere, aren't floods caused by
(24:31):
the climate change. What does that even mean.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
It's it's a you know what it means. It means
you should be very afraid, because fear is the most
important factor in all of these crises when they use
the same same factor when we talked about COVID right,
new study from Harvard University says you're all going to
die tomorrow. And that's exactly what this is. It's a
nonsensical Look at weather apps, look at any any like
(24:57):
weather dot com website that talks about climate and look
at the enthusiasm they have about this tropical storm right
now in the Gulf that is strengthening. They're eager, they're
desperate for it to be a deadly hurricane because this
is what they live for. It's their religion. It's a
gift from their God that the climate change is real,
(25:18):
and so it's very But these are a sick group
of people and you just have to dismiss them and
also steal their power back from them.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
That's it. Daniel Turner, Power the Future, Power the Future

is Pedro.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
My favorite things to do as smuggle drugs, propreate like
a rabbit, and listen to Pursuit of Happiness radio with
PRODUCERKINI please still be.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I don't know what this means. I don't know why,
but today is one Hit Wonder Day. Apparently some radio
DJ came up with it years ago. They said, on
September twenty fifth, will remember all the recording artists who
had one number one hit and then they were never
heard from again. So that's tub thumping by Chumbawamba. I
(26:08):
don't know why one hit wonders get their own day.
I don't know. I do know that we are right
in the middle of election season and it is very
contentious out there.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It is a tense time in this world. We might
need silly one hit wonders to help bridge the divide,
bridge the gap, if you will. In this nation of
people who are mad at their neighbors for voting differently
than them, I think we're all actually a lot more
similar than most of us probably realize. We all probably
want what's best for this country. I'm okay, not everybody,
(26:38):
but most people probably do, right. I always assume when
you meet a Democrat if they're not actively involved in politics,
they just vote for Democrats. Probably they're doing it because
they've been convinced that that's what's best for the country
or the community. And most average Republicans are probably like
that too, I assume, right. I don't think most people
are voting to make the world a worst place. But
(27:00):
once in a while, people have a change of heart.
They realize whatever political party they've been supporting maybe isn't
really a party that represents their principles, their ideology, or
their religious beliefs, or whatever it may be. Once in
a while people switch parties, and that just happened right
here in the Houston area with Texas State Representative Sean
Theery leaving the Democrat Party and joining the Republican Party
(27:24):
after a vote about child gender modification, and she apparently
is also endorsing Donald Trump. Here live on the radio
from Houston, Texas, which happens to be where we are.
State Representative Sean Theory, thank you so much for your
time this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Good morning, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Oh well, thanks for having me, Yeah, thanks for joining us.
Very great to have you here. Let's start off with this,
why did you switch parties?
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Well, It was a mixture of reasons, but the primary
reason was I no longer recognize the Democratic Party that
I once knew. I was a lifelong Democrat. My parents
were Democrat, and just like you said at the top
of the broadcast, they're just good people. My mom was
a retired teacher, my dad worked for the City of Houston.
(28:13):
They just thought that the Democrat Party was the party
of working folks. And so now we have seen, with
what I experienced in the Texas Legislature that now that
the radical progresses have officially hijacked the Democratic Party, there
is no reason for anyone who cares about families and
(28:36):
women and children and faith and freedom, there's no room
for us over there. The the agendas that they're pushing
are just flat out harmful to children, and there's just
no way around it. And so I did a lot
of soul searching, prayed about it, and I just decided
(28:58):
that I could not, in good conscient just continue to
align myself with this radical wing of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
You and I both grew up in the late twentieth century.
You remember the nineties, right, Yeah, I was in college
Back in the nineties, Bill Clinton was president and Bill
Clinton believed, actually believed in strengthening the border. He believed
in using tariffs to protect American workers, He believed in
some form of protectionism to help protect the working class
(29:28):
in this country. Basically socially moderate, not really staunchly, not
really socially liberal or conservative, sort of in the middle there,
which and then of course strength through peace as far
as foreign policy went, which sounds a lot like policy wise,
what Donald Trump believes. So if Donald Trump's beliefs and
Bill Clinton's beliefs when he was president are actually kind
(29:49):
of similar, why do Democrats suddenly think that Donald Trump
is a Nazi? Even when you really break it down
policy wise, he kind of believed a lot of what
the Democrats in the late twentieth century.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Well, he had it right all along, and I'll be
the first to tell you I didn't know what he meant,
but he was correct. Fake news, that's all it is.
It is just fake news, fake false narratives being pushed
about who he is and what he stands for, and
a lot of fear mongering. The Democratic Party is behind that.
They push out these narratives over and over and over
(30:24):
to the base and to voters, scaring them into believing
in some sort of boogeyman you know that doesn't exist.
And what you said about President Clinton is absolutely right.
But I guess I'll really date myself and say, I
don't know if you remember that commercial it's not your
father's O'smobile when Osmobile was trying to rebrand itself. This
(30:45):
is not content's Democratic party. This is not your father's
Democrat party. This is a party that believes that men
can have babies. This is the party that is telling
us that it is it should be legal to give
children sex change surgeries. This is the party that wanted
(31:05):
me as a state representative to vote to give girls
as young as twelve years old double miasectomies who do
not have cancer. This is a party that came after
me for standing up and saying a child should be eighteen.
That's all I said, and that's all the Republicans said
(31:26):
on the House floor. Just let them be eighteen before
they make it an irreversible, lifelong decision amputating body parts.
And that alone created all of this anger and fury,
and just I was received online bullying death threats that
this is bizarre, it's dangerous, and it has to be
(31:50):
called out, and Donald Trump has openly said he'll put
a stop to that. Is he is going to protect
children from this radical transgender ideaology. He's going to protect
women from biological males being placed in there in our
sports categories, taking the right for women to earn scholarships,
trophies and earn a living.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You remember a time when Democrats didn't disagree with what
you're saying. Right, If you went back ten years and
told people we're going to be doing medical procedures on
children so a prepubescent kid can get a sex change,
or we're going to allow a man who's six foot
two to play field hockey with your five foot four
(32:31):
teenage daughter, nobody would believe you. Was there a point
when you noticed that people in your old party had
changed their position on this. Was there a point where
you woke up one day and you didn't recognize where
you were at.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Yeah, it's been kind of a slow burn or slow drift.
Is a very covert operation. If you will, you said
ten years, I mean even five years ago, this was
not obviously they were putting it in place, but I
didn't know about it. I'll be completed my fourth term
in the House at the end of this year, so
that it would be close to eight years. And when
(33:06):
I ran, I didn't sign any kind of contract saying
that I agreed to mutilate children's body parts or to
inject children with loupron, which is a chemical castration drug
that we actually give sexistenders. That's what they want. They
want me to give that to eight and nine year
old boys and girls, sterilizing them. So no, I didn't
(33:30):
know that. However, there has been this gradual fraction, and
I called them a minority. I used to say, a
very loud minority. I wrote that in my off ed
in town hall. But that loud minority actually has a
majority control. They're running the show. I talked to Democratic
(33:50):
colleagues and pulled them to the side and said, what
is this, Why would we be doing this? Do you
know what this is? And one by one everybody was
telling me, Sean.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
We got it.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
We know, yes it's wrong, but hold your nose, hold
your nose and vote with us, because if you don't,
they're going to primary you, and they're going to primary
all of us. So they made the decision that you know,
is better for political expediency to place the well being
of children second to staying in office, and that goes
(34:25):
to underscore what power and influence these special interest groups have.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
The thing with child gender mutilation, it seems so obvious
to me that that's wrong. But of course that's it's
one issue. And if you look at the polling data,
they'll tell you the top issues this election season. That
isn't even necessarily one of the issues that is driving
people out to the polls. They claim the stuff that
they this is NBC news, I mean, great assault on
this representative the area, but they claim it's the border, inflation,
(34:56):
the economy, and crime that are driving people out to
the polls. Are those issues? Is that you disagree with
the mainstream Democrat party on.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
I do? Those are very important issues. I'm not a
single issue voter. This issue with children is what you know,
pushed me over the top because they made it an
issue in my race. So it is important to them,
it's not important to the average voter because most people
don't even know what's going on. But you know, you
(35:25):
mentioned President Clinton Clinton having a commitment to strengthening our borders,
and so did Barbara Jordan. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan I named
a highway after her here in Houston. I renamed Highway
to eighty eight after Barbara Jordan because my mom marched
with her in the civil rights movement. And you can
go pull up her tapes right now. And she unequivocally,
(35:50):
as a constitutionalist, said that people who are here illegally
cannot say they should not be here. She said that
she welcomes immigrants in a legal way. That is a
big issue. I'm the product of the public school system.
My daughter has attended some public schools, but she can
no longer attend the public school that she's zoned to
(36:12):
because it is overcrowded. The reading proficiency is under fifty percent.
That's the middle school that I went to that was
a top tier school. So yes, I mean, we have
overcrowding in our public schools, which creates underfunding. So border
security is very important. My mom, I lost my daughter
(36:33):
a few years ago. My mom is eighty three. She's
afraid to go to the grocery store because of crime.
You know, I don't want her to go by herself.
You know, I'm ordering Instacart almost every day, every other
day for her because and that's not something you know,
that's not how that wasn't her expectation. She didn't expect
(36:54):
to live her golden years out as a retired English
teacher and guidance counselor, and she didn't expect to live
her life thinking's the ones are going to knock her
in her head when she gets in her car.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
You are not the only prominent Democrat in the state
of Texas to recently switch parties. Heck, you're not even
the only prominent black Democrat in the state of Texas
to recently switch parties. Another one was Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson.
I'm curious if you to you and him have any
kind of relationship. Have you ever met or spoken with
him before? You both did this around the same time.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
We're really good friends and colleagues. He actually we served
together and he was in the house before I was.
But he was always super smart, super sharp, and I
admired the way he conducted himself. Both of us were
known as pragmatic policymakers, were able to get bills that
benefited all Texans across the finish line because we both
(37:49):
knew how to reach across the aisles. And he actually
spoke at my dad's funeral. So yes, we're we're good friends.
I did not.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
He did.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
He made his switch first, and I didn't even really
tell Eric until maybe a day or so before maryor Johnson.
So because I wanted I didn't want to put anybody
in a position where they thought that this was some
sort of political thing. This was really personal for me.
(38:19):
I want your readers to know that it mattered. I
want to send a statement to people who understand how
important it is that they follow the policies and they
look beyond the personalities of candidates. It's the Democratic Party
is just running the floor making this whole thing about
(38:42):
Trump's personality. President Trump's personality, But what about the policies
do you disagree with? Most of Americans will universally agree
that the cost of groceries is too high. They can't
afford it. Most people do agree that we have to
do something at the border, you know. So there's so
(39:03):
much where we have common ground. But I wanted people
to understand how radical the Democrat Party is. And I
don't mind sacrificing myself and putting it out there because
I think it's the only way they're going to be
forced to maybe, you know, you talk about identity, the
(39:23):
Democrat Party seems to me to have an identity crisis.
Maybe they can go back to being more in the middle,
more moderate. I don't know, but I know now that
the Republican Party is a party that aligns with the
majority of hardworking middle American values.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I think you sound very sincere in what you're saying.
I appreciate that. I look, we welcome you with open
arms over here on the riot on the conservative side
of things, the same way we reacted when we heard
the news about Eric Johnson. I noticed one thing about
him on his Twitter account. There's a photo of him
wearing a Dallas star. Do you believe he's really a
(40:01):
hockey fan?
Speaker 5 (40:04):
I don't know. I try to stay out of it
that that side of the Dallas sports because you know,
I'm a Houston girl, h town and sometimes when we
get in that sport sporting conversation, it's like the crips
and the bloods. It's like you're dealing with the gang bangers.
So look, I've got enough trouble on my hands. I
got enough radical progressives mad at me right now. I
(40:25):
don't want, I don't need.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
To stay representative.
Speaker 8 (40:29):
Sean.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
Let me say this.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I give him the benefit of the doll. He's a
dear friend.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, well, look, we're happy to have him. We're happy
to have you. It's very cool, especially right before the election,
very exciting. Stay Representative Sean Theory. I encourage our listeners
to follow you on social media, keep up with some
of the awesome work that you're doing. I think it's
really great that you endorse Donald Trump. Any closing thoughts
you want to leave with the listeners, I just want.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
To tell everybody I'm happy to be here and to
do the work and use my voice and my platform
in any way I can to save our country, to
save America.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Wow. Yeah, well said absolutely beautiful. State Representative Sean Thierry.
Like I said, find her on social media. I'm Kenny Webster.
I have enjoyed being here with you all this afternoon.
We hope you have an awesome day. Drive safe out there,
come back here bright and early tomorrow morning for more
of what you bought a radio for. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (41:25):

Breaking news from Hollywood. Convicted killers Lyle and Eric Menendez

their parents were still alive, they'd be so proud of them. Hi,
I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for turning on your radio. Daniel
Turner stopping by today from Power the Future. We got
(00:41):
a lot going on to stay tuned for the next hour.
As always, if you ever miss a minute of this
radio show or the morning show, there's a podcast you
can Oh who doesn't love a podcast. By the way,
we have a smartphone app you can use to listen
to the podcast called the Walton and Johnson App. It's
a little different from the iHeartRadio app because it's ours.
I think it's better and no offense. No our Iheart's great,
(01:03):
But you know what our our app does. Our app
lets you shop in the Walton Johnson online store. We
got a lot of great merchandise available right now for
Columbus Day, which is coming up and Halloween and the election,
and you can get tickets to our comedy show. Our
comedy show is happening Sunday, November tenth at Bad Astronaut
Brewing Company or brewery. I'm not sure which it's, but
(01:26):
Bad Astronaut it's a brewery in Houston. And don't just
show up though. You gotta get tickets. You gotta get
them in advance. And the best way to get tickets
is to download the Walton Johnson app. It's free, it's
easy to use. The tickets aren't free, they cost twenty
five bucks. But it's a tax deductible donation to wheelchairs
for warriors. So what an awesome cause that is a
very cool thing. Hey, only twenty five bucks, that's pretty cheap. Actually,
(01:50):
that's a lot cheaper than say, five hundred million dollars.
Why would you say that number? Thank you, imaginary voice
in the back of the room. Five hundred million dollars
is the amount of money that the US Department of
Defense will be spending annually on women's health research. Yeah no,
you heard that correctly. The US Department of Defense, the
(02:10):
Pentagon is going to spend a half a billion dollars
every year to research women's health, which seems a little odd.
Why would the people tasked with drone bombing orphanages in
the Mideast be concerned with doing research on the health
of one half of the species. It actually gets a
little weirder than it sounds, given who announced the funding
(02:31):
and where the announcement was made by First Lady Joe Biden.
She unveiled it at the Pentagon's Plan this year at
the Clinton Global Initiative. Yes, that's right, an annual conference
co founded by Bill and Hillary Clinton. That's where President
Joe Biden. Excuse me, First Lady Joe Biden made the announcment.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
The reason I'm so glad that you invited me here
today is this big announcement. So the Department of Defense
has now committed half a billion billion dollars to women's
health to women in the service, which then transcends to
(03:12):
all women.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
And so I've seen that.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yay, hooray. Moments after Joe made the announcement, the Clinton's
honored Joe with the twenty twenty four Clinton Clinton Global
Initiative Citizen Award. What exactly is that?
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I wonder?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Does that mean he drowned a bunch of babies and Haiti.
Turning to address Hillary Clinton, who stood alongside Joe, I said,
I love you. I love you Hill. Oh good. I'm
so glad that they're all getting along.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Gloria. I want to thank you, and I maybe shouldn't
do this public, but thank you personally for the way
you have helped me, helped him.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You've spoken up for me, spoken up. I think he
defended She defended Joe. She said Joe shouldn't have to
drop out of the race just so Mala can be
the first woman president. Okay, that's not quite how it went,
but even still, The thing I really want everyone to
take away from this is how strange it is that
First Lady Joe Biden announced the Department of Defense, an
(04:12):
organization she has nothing to do with, will be spending
a half a billion dollars on women's health and researching
women's health, which generally is a topic the Pentagon has
nothing to do with. And they did this at the
Clinton Global Initiative event hosted by Chelsea Clinton. Yes Chelsea
was there too. All very bizarre, isn't It really makes
you wonder what the heck is going on here? It's
(04:34):
not a cabinet meeting. It's not the White House, certainly
not the Pentagon. So why exactly is Joe Biden making
this announcement? What is she being offered? Or rather, what
is she doing? What is she what is her involvement?
What is her role in all of this supposed to
amount to? It is possible the reason they ever doing
(04:55):
this is because people, particularly voters, particularly voters in the
Democrat Party, you are moderate undecided voters, still don't like Joe.
They don't like Joe so much that they might not
vote for Kamala if they're even reminded that Joe exists.
They asked this question recently at town hall dot com
after some polling data was published revealing Joe still ain't
(05:16):
very popular, And the question is this, should Joe step
down before his term ends? That's actually a question that
the I and I tipp poll posed to voters twice
since he was pushed off the Democrat Party ticket. So
they were asked which answer would be in the best
interest of the US. Biden should finish his term or
(05:37):
Biden should leave and let Kamala take over, And a
very hefty forty two percent of voters actually agree that
Biden should step down and hand over the presidency to Harris.
Only twenty one percent seem to think he should remain
in office. Another eleven percent and said they're not sure
(06:01):
because there's always undecided voters in that amazing and they
remarkable that he's still this unpopular. Why does this matter
only forty days until the election? I think analysis of
the survey reminds voters that Biden's still in office. He's
going to be there till January twentieth, twenty twenty five,
and there's a lot of pressing issues on the domestic
(06:23):
and international stage that need to be answered, like who's
dealing with the inflation crisis? And why isn't crime data
being shared with the FBI? And how is it we're
suddenly involved in four major wars around the world? And oh,
by the way, why is First Lady Joe Biden speaking
at the first full cabinet meeting in nearly a year? Yeah,
(06:44):
that happened too. You're sitting here wondering, why does it
suddenly seem like Jill Biden is the president? Maybe she
should be asking herself when was Joe Biden the president?
Kind of seems like Jill's Jill's been doing the heavy
lifting since day one. Shows is a star cousin right here.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
It's ha worked to host the show with a couple
of knucklehears.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Key Western Gia. It's uh, it's one hit wonder Day.
I don't know why it's one hit. Nobody knows. Why
is it one hit wonder Day. It's like Blueberry strudele Day.
Wednesday is gonna be National slap a Hobo Day? Like, no,
that's not what it is. But who comes up with
this stuff? Apparently some DJ I don't know. I'll look
(07:32):
it up during commercial. It's not important. What's important is
that Donald Trump is now attacking Kamala Harris for lying.
He claims she lied about having a job at McDonald's.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
If she's gonna say it, I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
I worked at McDonald's two. I worked there a long time.
I actually started the company. I was great friends, got
along very well with Ronald McDonald. They said it's ronin Don.
They said it's Ronan Don. I recently brought back the
five dollars. I got on the phone with Ronald McDonald
and I said, ron listen, just like I handled Abduel
(08:06):
with Afghanistan. You know what I'm talking about. I said,
ron if you don't bring back the five dollar meal deal,
we're gonna drone your house. Look at your beautiful house.
We're gonna take it out and you're gonna be in there.
And he said, sir, we're bringing back the five dollar
meal deal. Because Kamala Namik says destroyed people's wallets, it's
destroyed your bank account. And she says she worked in
(08:30):
McDonald's and a lot of people are saying that's fake news.
But maybe she did, and maybe that's where she learned
how to serve those big, beautiful word salads. But if
she's gonna say it, I'm gonna say it. The Golden
Arches I built them with my own two hands. We
made the greatest McNuggets. We were going to call them
something else, but we called them McNuggets because we wanted
(08:52):
to stay. They call it on brand. I worked in McDonald's.
I founded McDonald's. I was great friends with Ronald McDonald
and it is because of me that that company is
doing so well. If she's going to say it, I'm
going to say it.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That's okay. I have a confession to make. That's not
actually Donald Trump that now I know it sounded just
like it wasn't. This is Donald Trump yesterday in Savannah, Georgia,
talking about Kamala and whether or not she actually worked
at McDonald's. Remember one other thing, and I think it's terrible.
She lied about McDonald's.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
She said, I was a worker in McDonald's and I
stood over the French fries.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I'm going to McDonald's over the next two.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Weeks and I'm gonna stand over the French fries because
I want to see what her job really wasn't like,
because she's never I stood over the French fries and
that was tough.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It was hot outside and it was hot over. She
never worked. There was a lie. That's pretty funny. That
is pretty funny. Come on, you know, Donald Trump actually
did work for McDonald's back in the nineties, sort of.
For those of you that are old enough to remember
the nineties, do you remember this TV commercial?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Hot know how you do it?
Speaker 9 (10:00):
I put together some really impressive deals, but this thing
you pulled off, it's amazing, a big and tasty for
just a dollar?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
How do you do it? What's your secret? It's Grimace?
He's with Grimace. You got a buck.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
You're in luck because you can get a delicious, beefy,
big and tasty I'm a chicken sandwich, and lots of.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Your other Could you believe it a dollar? You could
get stuff for a dollar. We could own this time.
Donald Trump was in a commercial for McDonald's in the nineties.
You could get a big and tasty. That was the
name of a hamburger they had back then. It was
it was a patty with a tomato and lettuce on it.
And actually, I actually think tomatoes and lettuce make burgers worse.
(10:42):
Nobody wants that. Why do you why put come on?
Why would you want a salad on your cheeseburger? It
doesn't even have cheese on it. So Donald Trump raises
an interesting point here. The point is, if she's willing
to lie about this, what else will she lie about?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
The editors at Breitbart recently pointed out how the corrupt
corporate media seemed to be terrified to look into the
disputed claim that Kamala Harris once worked at McDonald's. She
either worked there or she didn't. This should be pretty easy, guys,
shouldn't be too hard to solve this one. If she
didn't work there, there'd be no evidence, and if she did,
(11:22):
there'd be some evidence. Is there a photo of her
working at McDonald's a pay stub? Any of her former
employees co workers ever remember working at McDonald's with her.
Harris has used the fact that she once worked at
McDonald's while attending college to burnish her middle class bona fides,
which are also disputed because her parents were tenured college professors.
(11:44):
Seems like she grew up with a lot of money.
But whatever, Harris is fifty nine years old, it's been
a public figure for two decades, and there's really no
record of her ever mentioning having worked at McDonald's up
until she ran for president. When she ran for senate,
when she ran for attorney general, we never heard about this.
The McDonald's job has also been part of her twenty
(12:05):
twenty four campaign, including being featured prominently in a campaign ad,
but there's no public record that shows she ever worked there,
not in her two memoirs. You know, she wrote two books.
We don't even have a copy of the nineteen eighty
seven job application for a law clerk position in the
Alameda County District Attorney's Office that required the applicant to
(12:27):
list every job held back over the last ten years
that would have included her time at McDonald's, and yet
it's not mentioned there.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Even odder than that, the Harris campaign refuses to provide
confirmation of the job, which could be done easily with
old tax documents, or simply naming what the franchise location was.
Which McDonald's did you work at? I think what's most
revealing is the media's reaction to all of this. Whenever
Trump brings up Harris's McDonald's job, whether at dinner didn't
(12:56):
exist and his more than reasonable doubt that she ever
worked there, corporate media either ignores him, or they publish
some bizarrely worded fact check to make the doubters seem
like liars, or they just ridicule him. They say he's
obsessed politifacts. Absurd fact check on this actually said no,
McDonald's didn't say there's no record Kamala Harris worked at
the fast food chain. Okay, but did McDonald's confirm she
(13:19):
worked there? They didn't. That's a fact that PolitiFact, much
like the rest of the media, is scared to look into.
So instead of confirming the only fact that matters, PolitiFact
plays semantics to make it look like those who question
her McDonald's claim are liars. USA Today did it too,
and so did Jimmy Kimmel, and so did MSN. It
(13:43):
goes on and on, AOL News, Yahoo, Wait a second, MSN,
AOL and Yahoo those still at whatever, guys. These are
mainstream corporate media outlets CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS, PBSM,
The Washington Post, The New York Times. They've just ignored
the story. This tells us two things. The first is
(14:08):
that none of Harris's many media allies have been able
to confirm that she worked at McDonald's. Second, the media
is terrified to look into it because they're terrified that
they'll discover she lined. Then they'll have to publish the
lie after the election, after it matters, kind of like
with the Hunter Biden laptop. They'll eventually look into it.
(14:30):
But this I know, no one has been able to
confirm that Kamala Harris told the truth about working some
mundane job at McDonald's. It should be pretty easy to
prove because if they knew, we'd know about it. They
don't know, which means it's probably a lie.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
You are listening to the pursuit of happiness. Radio pursuit
of happiness. We don't have that in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Israel, and k Aalestine, Ukraine. Those are just the big ones.
There's little wars. There's a war down in Columbia right now,
with a bunch of Gorilla militia guys out in the
jungle near the Darien Gap. Yeah. I know there's wars
on almost every continent. It'd be easier to tell you
where there's no war. Antarctica. I think, maybe Australia, although
(15:20):
I got to think the government there is still probably
at war with their own citizens for violating COVID protocol.
But all that being said, we got bigger problems, guys,
with all this war going on. You would think that
yesterday the Biden family making a big announcement about the
Pentagon spending a half a billion dollars on something it
would probably have something to do with war. Turns out
(15:40):
you'd be wrong if you're just turning on your radio.
We mentioned earlier in the show, how Joe Biden, Oh God,
I just did it. Sorry, hang on, let me crack myself,
doctor very important doctor of Joe Biden made a big
announcement at the Clinton Global Initiative dinner in New York City,
that the Pentagon is going to be spending a half
a billion dollars every year to research women's health. Why
(16:04):
are they doing that? Nobody know. Nobody has a clue
as all it's taken place. Joe's been all over the
place lately. He was at Unga, you know, the United
Nations General Assembly. I know we all call it Unga obviously.
And he also gave a speech to a Bloomberg philanthropist
for him. And he spent a lot of time this
week talking about I mean, he doesn't know this, but
he spent a lot of time reading words on the
(16:25):
teleprompter related to climate change.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Go ahead, Joe, when it comes to the climate, every
time I talk about it, whether I was trying to
convince labor business to come along, I say, I think climate.
I think jobs. I think jobs, and I mean it
good union paying jobs.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And fact, good union pa. When he thinks about the
climate crisis, he thinks about union paying jobs. Here are
this reaction, Daniel Turner from Power of the Future. Daniel,
when you think about a big natural disaster destroying South
Florida right now, or what do they call it, But
what are the big bend? Is that what they call it?
Over there? Do you think of jobs?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Yeah, it's remarkable how they tell us this is an
existential threat. Right, that's a really serious phrase. Existential threat, Kenny.
We're all gonna die. Humanity's going to be wiped out.
AOC told us we had ten years left, right, she
said that seven years ago. A little Greta Thunberg tweeted
seven years ago that we had five years left. Because
it's an existential threat. And here's the president who has
(17:28):
been pushing this existential threat since he ran in twenty twenty,
and he says, I think of jobs. I mean, just
think of how weird of a construct that is. Imagine
if you know, FDR running for his fourth term in
nineteen forty four, said, you know, folks, when I look
at the war in Europe and Nazi Germany, I think
of jobs. You'd be like, well that's strange, mister president, right,
(17:50):
Like that's an odd way to look at an existential
threat of Nazism. Or if Reagan said when I look
at the Soviet Union, I see jobs. You know, he
sees an access of evil, you know, and then needs
to be defeated. So it's so bizarre that they use this,
this unrelenting language of existential threat, but then they admit, na,
(18:13):
it's just a spending opportunity.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, isn't that a weird reaction to all of this.
We're talking about something that could be I mean, they
claim it's going to kill people, that this is the
end of the world, that this is the apocalypse itself,
and yet for some reason, the Pentagon doesn't need to
worry about multiple wars and the president needs to worry
about controlling the weather. Does that make any It makes
no sense to me. And this is what he's doing
(18:37):
on his way out the door. This is how he's
gonna end his presidency. Daniel. We just saw we just
saw pulling data that said almost half of voters think
he should step down now and leave office before January comes.
What do you think of that?
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Yeah, isn't that remarkable? And it's not surprising. Actually you
look at that the speech he gave, and sadly, you know,
it was the same bimbling, muttering, stuck looking at the
at the teleprompter and unsure of where he is. But
what's his record of accomplishment? Right from when he took
office to leaving office. Look at wars in the Middle East,
(19:13):
the war in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea,
the war in Ukraine. This has all happened under his watch.
And he's still talking about climate change and his military
is giving five hundred million for women's health. I don't
know why the Pentagon is suddenly in charge of women's health,
but it's one of those issues that everyone's in charge.
I'm sure you are. What is your radio station doing
for women's health? Right? Maybe it's Women's Health Month. I forget,
(19:36):
it's September. No Women's Health Month. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
No, I don't think so, Daniel. No, And why did
Jill Biden make the announcement? Isn't that weird?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Well, she's the president.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
That's it. I mean, that's it. Else would she be
doing it.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
She sat at the head of the table and ran
the last cabinet meeting. You know, she's handing out minutes
and notes. She will write a memoir. Maybe she'll be
too angry to write a memoir, but she will write
a memoir recounting her days as the president s the
president et or you know, because she's been in charge
(20:13):
of the last couple of years, the way she shuffles
him on and off stage and walks him, you know,
to the podium and walks him away. She's been calling
the shops. We're very kept. No one voted for him.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
We're very proud of the fact. On this radio show,
we have a lot of affiliates, we have a big audience.
But in the world of radio, you know, it's a
big corporate industry. There's a lot of bigger guys out
there than us, and apparently one of them is now
Alex Soros and George Soros. They're going out and they're
they're buying up radio stations around the country. Now, a
lot of people have asked if that would affect us.
(20:42):
It won't. It doesn't affect any of our affiliates on
this radio network. Just to answer a question a lot
of listeners have been asking. But I did notice today
Alex Soros does the most interesting thing, Daniel. I don't
know if you've ever noticed this. On his Twitter account,
he flies around the country, he meets with different politicians,
gives them a check, and then he posts a photo
(21:03):
of himself with the politician. To me, this is almost
the equivalent of like when the Trump brothers go hunting
and take a picture of whatever deer they shot. Is
Alex Soros out hunting for politicians and posting his trophies
on social media?
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Yeah, Alex knows his dad is you know, one hundred
and seventy five. And Alex wants to continue in this empire.
You know, they decide who your da is, They decide
who most of your members of Congress are. So absolutely,
I mean, he is making it very clear. He posted
on Twitter a photo of him yesterday with Governor Waltz,
(21:40):
the vice presidential nominee on the Harris ticket, and he said,
I'm happy to welcome Governor Waltz to my house in Manhattan,
and they're standing about nine feet apart in the photo.
And I tweeted it with the lyrics to that police
song like don't stand so close to me. It's very
odd photo. I encourage everyone to go look at it
on social media. Why are you two standing so far apart?
(22:02):
Like who takes a picture with someone but nine feet
apart from one another? Unless even Alex Soros, himself a
pretty creepy guy, solt the creepy vibe from Tim Walls
and was like, yeah, I'll keep my distance.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Daniel, I think you explained it perfectly, and yet on
the radio without seeing how creepy this photo is, it's
still hard to really do it justice. They're standing in
front of a big window in a high rise in
New York, very super villain esque vibes, with the city
scape behind them there standing kind of far apart from
each other. Alex Soros wearing what looks like a ten
(22:37):
thousand dollars suit, standing there with tim Walls as if
he's his prize trophy buck or whatever, you know, And
you really got to wonder, like Alex Soros saying that
that's his home in New York City. Nobody believes that, right,
Like everybody knows that Alex didn't buy that house. He
didn't he didn't have a job, he didn't do anything.
That's his dad's house.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Yeah, that's his had for entertaining guests. And where he
lives what caves somewhere he lives in is probably no
one photographs and no one knows where it is. I
would encourage or or you know, strengthen your audience listeners
right now, don't be nervous about the Soros buying radio stations.
If you're old enough to remember in the late nineties
(23:20):
early two thousands, Radio Air America, Radio America. The left
made it enormous, hundreds of millions of dollars, pushed to
have radio because they were going to compete with conservative
talk radio. They were going to take on Rush Limbaugh
and Sean Hannity, and it was an absolute epic flop.
The leftist audience is too stupid and too narcissistic to
(23:42):
listen to talk radio. Talk radio is the bastion of
the right because it requires some humility to sit there
and listen, and it requires some calmness. Right. There's no
flashing screens, there's no boobs from Instagram, there's no dancing monkeys. Right,
It's a serious medium, and that's why it tends to
attract the right. So don't be nervous of the Soros
(24:04):
is doing this. Their stations are absolutely going to flop.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
The New York Times just publish this study about climate change.
Climate change, they say, is doubling the likelihood of European floods. Now,
I got to think, uh, you know, I'm not a
scientific expert here, Daniel, but I would assume climate change
is one hundred percent the reason for all floods unless
a pipe, unless a piper somewhere, aren't floods caused by
(24:31):
the climate change. What does that even mean.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
It's it's a you know what it means. It means
you should be very afraid, because fear is the most
important factor in all of these crises when they use
the same same factor when we talked about COVID right,
new study from Harvard University says you're all going to
die tomorrow. And that's exactly what this is. It's a
nonsensical Look at weather apps, look at any any like
(24:57):
weather dot com website that talks about climate and look
at the enthusiasm they have about this tropical storm right
now in the Gulf that is strengthening. They're eager, they're
desperate for it to be a deadly hurricane because this
is what they live for. It's their religion. It's a
gift from their God that the climate change is real,
(25:18):
and so it's very But these are a sick group
of people and you just have to dismiss them and
also steal their power back from them.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
That's it. Daniel Turner, Power the Future, Power the Future
dot Com. Follow Daniel on social media. Hello, my name
is Pedro.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
My favorite things to do as smuggle drugs, propreate like
a rabbit, and listen to Pursuit of Happiness radio with
PRODUCERKINI please still be.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I don't know what this means. I don't know why,
but today is one Hit Wonder Day. Apparently some radio
DJ came up with it years ago. They said, on
September twenty fifth, will remember all the recording artists who
had one number one hit and then they were never
heard from again. So that's tub thumping by Chumbawamba. I
(26:08):
don't know why one hit wonders get their own day.
I don't know. I do know that we are right
in the middle of election season and it is very
contentious out there.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It is a tense time in this world. We might
need silly one hit wonders to help bridge the divide,
bridge the gap, if you will. In this nation of
people who are mad at their neighbors for voting differently
than them, I think we're all actually a lot more
similar than most of us probably realize. We all probably
want what's best for this country. I'm okay, not everybody,
(26:38):
but most people probably do, right. I always assume when
you meet a Democrat if they're not actively involved in politics,
they just vote for Democrats. Probably they're doing it because
they've been convinced that that's what's best for the country
or the community. And most average Republicans are probably like
that too, I assume, right. I don't think most people
are voting to make the world a worst place. But
(27:00):
once in a while, people have a change of heart.
They realize whatever political party they've been supporting maybe isn't
really a party that represents their principles, their ideology, or
their religious beliefs, or whatever it may be. Once in
a while people switch parties, and that just happened right
here in the Houston area with Texas State Representative Sean
Theery leaving the Democrat Party and joining the Republican Party
(27:24):
after a vote about child gender modification, and she apparently
is also endorsing Donald Trump. Here live on the radio
from Houston, Texas, which happens to be where we are.
State Representative Sean Theory, thank you so much for your
time this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Good morning, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Oh well, thanks for having me, Yeah, thanks for joining us.
Very great to have you here. Let's start off with this,
why did you switch parties?
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Well, It was a mixture of reasons, but the primary
reason was I no longer recognize the Democratic Party that
I once knew. I was a lifelong Democrat. My parents
were Democrat, and just like you said at the top
of the broadcast, they're just good people. My mom was
a retired teacher, my dad worked for the City of Houston.
(28:13):
They just thought that the Democrat Party was the party
of working folks. And so now we have seen, with
what I experienced in the Texas Legislature that now that
the radical progresses have officially hijacked the Democratic Party, there
is no reason for anyone who cares about families and
(28:36):
women and children and faith and freedom, there's no room
for us over there. The the agendas that they're pushing
are just flat out harmful to children, and there's just
no way around it. And so I did a lot
of soul searching, prayed about it, and I just decided
(28:58):
that I could not, in good conscient just continue to
align myself with this radical wing of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
You and I both grew up in the late twentieth century.
You remember the nineties, right, Yeah, I was in college
Back in the nineties, Bill Clinton was president and Bill
Clinton believed, actually believed in strengthening the border. He believed
in using tariffs to protect American workers, He believed in
some form of protectionism to help protect the working class
(29:28):
in this country. Basically socially moderate, not really staunchly, not
really socially liberal or conservative, sort of in the middle there,
which and then of course strength through peace as far
as foreign policy went, which sounds a lot like policy wise,
what Donald Trump believes. So if Donald Trump's beliefs and
Bill Clinton's beliefs when he was president are actually kind
(29:49):
of similar, why do Democrats suddenly think that Donald Trump
is a Nazi? Even when you really break it down
policy wise, he kind of believed a lot of what
the Democrats in the late twentieth century.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Well, he had it right all along, and I'll be
the first to tell you I didn't know what he meant,
but he was correct. Fake news, that's all it is.
It is just fake news, fake false narratives being pushed
about who he is and what he stands for, and
a lot of fear mongering. The Democratic Party is behind that.
They push out these narratives over and over and over
(30:24):
to the base and to voters, scaring them into believing
in some sort of boogeyman you know that doesn't exist.
And what you said about President Clinton is absolutely right.
But I guess I'll really date myself and say, I
don't know if you remember that commercial it's not your
father's O'smobile when Osmobile was trying to rebrand itself. This
(30:45):
is not content's Democratic party. This is not your father's
Democrat party. This is a party that believes that men
can have babies. This is the party that is telling
us that it is it should be legal to give
children sex change surgeries. This is the party that wanted
(31:05):
me as a state representative to vote to give girls
as young as twelve years old double miasectomies who do
not have cancer. This is a party that came after
me for standing up and saying a child should be eighteen.
That's all I said, and that's all the Republicans said
(31:26):
on the House floor. Just let them be eighteen before
they make it an irreversible, lifelong decision amputating body parts.
And that alone created all of this anger and fury,
and just I was received online bullying death threats that
this is bizarre, it's dangerous, and it has to be
(31:50):
called out, and Donald Trump has openly said he'll put
a stop to that. Is he is going to protect
children from this radical transgender ideaology. He's going to protect
women from biological males being placed in there in our
sports categories, taking the right for women to earn scholarships,
trophies and earn a living.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You remember a time when Democrats didn't disagree with what
you're saying. Right, If you went back ten years and
told people we're going to be doing medical procedures on
children so a prepubescent kid can get a sex change,
or we're going to allow a man who's six foot
two to play field hockey with your five foot four
(32:31):
teenage daughter, nobody would believe you. Was there a point
when you noticed that people in your old party had
changed their position on this. Was there a point where
you woke up one day and you didn't recognize where
you were at.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Yeah, it's been kind of a slow burn or slow drift.
Is a very covert operation. If you will, you said
ten years, I mean even five years ago, this was
not obviously they were putting it in place, but I
didn't know about it. I'll be completed my fourth term
in the House at the end of this year, so
that it would be close to eight years. And when
(33:06):
I ran, I didn't sign any kind of contract saying
that I agreed to mutilate children's body parts or to
inject children with loupron, which is a chemical castration drug
that we actually give sexistenders. That's what they want. They
want me to give that to eight and nine year
old boys and girls, sterilizing them. So no, I didn't
(33:30):
know that. However, there has been this gradual fraction, and
I called them a minority. I used to say, a
very loud minority. I wrote that in my off ed
in town hall. But that loud minority actually has a
majority control. They're running the show. I talked to Democratic
(33:50):
colleagues and pulled them to the side and said, what
is this, Why would we be doing this? Do you
know what this is? And one by one everybody was
telling me, Sean.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
We got it.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
We know, yes it's wrong, but hold your nose, hold
your nose and vote with us, because if you don't,
they're going to primary you, and they're going to primary
all of us. So they made the decision that you know,
is better for political expediency to place the well being
of children second to staying in office, and that goes
(34:25):
to underscore what power and influence these special interest groups have.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
The thing with child gender mutilation, it seems so obvious
to me that that's wrong. But of course that's it's
one issue. And if you look at the polling data,
they'll tell you the top issues this election season. That
isn't even necessarily one of the issues that is driving
people out to the polls. They claim the stuff that
they this is NBC news, I mean, great assault on
this representative the area, but they claim it's the border, inflation,
(34:56):
the economy, and crime that are driving people out to
the polls. Are those issues? Is that you disagree with
the mainstream Democrat party on.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
I do? Those are very important issues. I'm not a
single issue voter. This issue with children is what you know,
pushed me over the top because they made it an
issue in my race. So it is important to them,
it's not important to the average voter because most people
don't even know what's going on. But you know, you
(35:25):
mentioned President Clinton Clinton having a commitment to strengthening our borders,
and so did Barbara Jordan. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan I named
a highway after her here in Houston. I renamed Highway
to eighty eight after Barbara Jordan because my mom marched
with her in the civil rights movement. And you can
go pull up her tapes right now. And she unequivocally,
(35:50):
as a constitutionalist, said that people who are here illegally
cannot say they should not be here. She said that
she welcomes immigrants in a legal way. That is a
big issue. I'm the product of the public school system.
My daughter has attended some public schools, but she can
no longer attend the public school that she's zoned to
(36:12):
because it is overcrowded. The reading proficiency is under fifty percent.
That's the middle school that I went to that was
a top tier school. So yes, I mean, we have
overcrowding in our public schools, which creates underfunding. So border
security is very important. My mom, I lost my daughter
(36:33):
a few years ago. My mom is eighty three. She's
afraid to go to the grocery store because of crime.
You know, I don't want her to go by herself.
You know, I'm ordering Instacart almost every day, every other
day for her because and that's not something you know,
that's not how that wasn't her expectation. She didn't expect
(36:54):
to live her golden years out as a retired English
teacher and guidance counselor, and she didn't expect to live
her life thinking's the ones are going to knock her
in her head when she gets in her car.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
You are not the only prominent Democrat in the state
of Texas to recently switch parties. Heck, you're not even
the only prominent black Democrat in the state of Texas
to recently switch parties. Another one was Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson.
I'm curious if you to you and him have any
kind of relationship. Have you ever met or spoken with
him before? You both did this around the same time.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
We're really good friends and colleagues. He actually we served
together and he was in the house before I was.
But he was always super smart, super sharp, and I
admired the way he conducted himself. Both of us were
known as pragmatic policymakers, were able to get bills that
benefited all Texans across the finish line because we both
(37:49):
knew how to reach across the aisles. And he actually
spoke at my dad's funeral. So yes, we're we're good friends.
I did not.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
He did.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
He made his switch first, and I didn't even really
tell Eric until maybe a day or so before maryor Johnson.
So because I wanted I didn't want to put anybody
in a position where they thought that this was some
sort of political thing. This was really personal for me.
(38:19):
I want your readers to know that it mattered. I
want to send a statement to people who understand how
important it is that they follow the policies and they
look beyond the personalities of candidates. It's the Democratic Party
is just running the floor making this whole thing about
(38:42):
Trump's personality. President Trump's personality, But what about the policies
do you disagree with? Most of Americans will universally agree
that the cost of groceries is too high. They can't
afford it. Most people do agree that we have to
do something at the border, you know. So there's so
(39:03):
much where we have common ground. But I wanted people
to understand how radical the Democrat Party is. And I
don't mind sacrificing myself and putting it out there because
I think it's the only way they're going to be
forced to maybe, you know, you talk about identity, the
(39:23):
Democrat Party seems to me to have an identity crisis.
Maybe they can go back to being more in the middle,
more moderate. I don't know, but I know now that
the Republican Party is a party that aligns with the
majority of hardworking middle American values.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I think you sound very sincere in what you're saying.
I appreciate that. I look, we welcome you with open
arms over here on the riot on the conservative side
of things, the same way we reacted when we heard
the news about Eric Johnson. I noticed one thing about
him on his Twitter account. There's a photo of him
wearing a Dallas star. Do you believe he's really a
(40:01):
hockey fan?
Speaker 5 (40:04):
I don't know. I try to stay out of it
that that side of the Dallas sports because you know,
I'm a Houston girl, h town and sometimes when we
get in that sport sporting conversation, it's like the crips
and the bloods. It's like you're dealing with the gang bangers.
So look, I've got enough trouble on my hands. I
got enough radical progressives mad at me right now. I
(40:25):
don't want, I don't need.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
To stay representative.
Speaker 8 (40:29):
Sean.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
Let me say this.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I give him the benefit of the doll. He's a
dear friend.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, well, look, we're happy to have him. We're happy
to have you. It's very cool, especially right before the election,
very exciting. Stay Representative Sean Theory. I encourage our listeners
to follow you on social media, keep up with some
of the awesome work that you're doing. I think it's
really great that you endorse Donald Trump. Any closing thoughts
you want to leave with the listeners, I just want.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
To tell everybody I'm happy to be here and to
do the work and use my voice and my platform
in any way I can to save our country, to
save America.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Wow. Yeah, well said absolutely beautiful. State Representative Sean Thierry.
Like I said, find her on social media. I'm Kenny Webster.
I have enjoyed being here with you all this afternoon.
We hope you have an awesome day. Drive safe out there,
come back here bright and early tomorrow morning for more
of what you bought a radio for. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (41:25):

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.
