Speaker 1 (00:00):
Giganic government sucks. The suit of having as radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile of a suit
of habing and us on your radio toil just as
Chesburg is a liberty rise at. The food of.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Today is National Fruit Cocktail Day. I'm just gonna climb
out on a limb here and guess it's probably cash
Betel's least favorite cocktail. Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks
for joining us. My special guest this afternoon will be
the beautiful and brilliant Sarah Gonzalez. You may know her
from The Blaze or Texas Scorecards. She's been doing a
great job lately of outing some Islamic extremist communities here
(00:45):
in the greater Houston area and throughout the state of Texas,
particularly in the Dallas Fort Worth area. We're gonna go
undercover with her, Actually, no we're not. We're just gonna
talk with her on the radio about some of the
work she's been doing, so stick around for that. Why
don't we start off with this though, before we get
to Texas, Let's go to California. Meet Tom Stayer, the
billionaire who got rich on fossil fuels. Then decided to
(01:09):
lecture the rest of us about them. Oh that's so nice,
thanks Tom. Tom Steyer is that classic limousine liberal who
built a two point four billion dollar fortune running a
hedge fund that feasts on coal mines. And then one
day he looked at a melting glacier, probably from the
(01:29):
window his private jet. He had a spiritual awakening, and
he reinvented himself as Planet Earth scold in chief. So
what does he do now? Now he flies around telling
coal miners and truck drivers you're killing children while his
own bank account still smells faintly of petroleum. Yeah, that's
(01:49):
the kind of guy he's. Oh, and he's running for
the governor at California. This is the ultimate green hypocrisy
smoothie made with fossil fuel profits, served with a side
of sankt. And right now, this walking carbon offset is
having a full blown mount meltdown over something most of
you probably don't care about at all. Warner Brothers in
(02:10):
Paramount are going to merge together. I've never thought of
Warner Brothers or Paramount as being a right wing media company,
neither of which I would consider to be on the right.
He says, it's our right wing takeover of media. The
man sounds like he just caught the Butler voting Republican.
(02:31):
According to Tom, this deal will shove CNN straight into
the pocket of some fellow who once smiled in President
Trump's general direction. Yeah, I don't get it either. Cue
the dramatic music and the fainting couch. Apparently the next
step is Anderson Cooper goose stepping across the set while
Tucker Carlson's ghost cackles in the control room. Tucker does
(02:53):
have a weird laugh, doesn't he. Tom Stayer got all
misty about the golden age of Ted Turner's CNN. Ted
Turner passed away recently, and apparently it's really bothering Tom.
He still calls CNN the most trusted name in news. Trusted.
The network sold the Iraq War like it was a
(03:14):
timeshare in paradise. If that was journalism's Mount Everest, the
rest of us have been hiking through a swamp of
composts the whole time. Let's talk about the actual media map,
shall we. Right now, America's information diet is one long
progressive buffet. ABC News, Liberal NBC News Liberal MSNBC rebranded
(03:35):
his MS now it's still NBC. It's liberal, NPR and
PBS previously publicly funded liberal News, The New York Times Liberal,
The Washington Post, Liberal, Disney, Netflix, it's all left wing.
Every major outlet staffed by people who think both sides
meets Rachel Maddow and a slightly less hysterical version of
(03:57):
Rachel Maddow. That's boy, that's partisanship, is it. They don't
report the facts. They perform guilt pageants with better production values.
So one possible merger threatens to let a little oxygen
into the room, and suddenly it's pearl Harbor for people
at tom Stayers cocktail party. The same crowd that cheered
(04:22):
when six corporations zoned everything from your iPhone to your
sitcom now act like one modest consolidation is the new
coming of fascism. Consolidation is only evil when it might
dilute the kool aid. The hypocrisy is so thick you
could spread it on a bagel. These are the people
(04:44):
who spent years locking arms with big Tech and big
Hollywood and big academia, all the while pretending they were
the scrappy underdogs. Now one deal might potentially theoretically loosen
their death grip on the remote and their dreaming coup.
Why because some guy that works at one of the
two companies isn't a far left zellot. It's like the
(05:06):
kid who hogged the ball for thirty years suddenly yelling
foul the first time someone else touches it. So where
does this sermon come from? Tom Steyer, running for governor
right now on a platform that basically promises to turn
the state into one giant participation trophy with open borders
and ice listed as an endangered species, is out here
(05:27):
telling us California's media environment is in danger. California's media
environment is already so far to the left it makes
peong Yang look balanced. That's the capital of North Korea. Yeah,
if Tom wins, the only growth industry left will be
the imiss Gavin bumper stickers. What is he worried about?
(05:50):
He's worried about bias. The man has the self awareness
of a golden retriever staring into a mirror. Remember when
Tom used to jet around the planet in private planes
lecturing us about our carbon sins. Oh yeah, he's still
doing that. Same guy. New topics still rich off the
old fossil fuel money, Still scolding, still certain that any
(06:11):
threat to left wing media monopolies is a threat to
democracy itself. Consistency's a very beautiful thing in California. But
here's the glorious part of all this silliness. If this
merger actually delivers even a faint right word, tilt fine,
pour the champagne, American stuff, none of that important nonsense. Yeah,
(06:33):
not because we want our own propaganda machine. We've had
quite enough propaganda banks, but because a little ideological competition
might keep the country from becoming one endless faculty lounge
with worst parking. Imagine CNN running a segment that doesn't
treat every Republican idea like it was drafted by Satan
(06:55):
during a drinking bender. Imagine a late night talk show
who tells jokes that don't require a safe space and
a trigger warning. Would that be the end of civilization
or would it finally be the comedy special we've all
been waiting for. Imagine jokes that are actually funny. The
(07:15):
left axe like media balance is tyranny. That's odd they
never called it tyranny when every talk show, every awards ceremony,
every college campus spent a decade doing the same Trump
is literally hitler routine. That wasn't biased, guys, that was Tuesday.
So let the deal go through, let the market sort
(07:36):
it out, and if it results in even one network
that doesn't treat viewers like fragile emotional support hamsters who
need hourly reminders the Orange man is bad and red
hats are evil, then Tom Stayer can sob into his
recycled Hemp handkerchief all he likes. After years of left
(07:56):
wing media dominance that made old Soviet newspapers looks subtle,
a little right word correction wouldn't be a coup. It
would be about damn time. And honestly, I think we've
earned it. I think we've earned the laugh.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I feel never listening to you all again.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But Suit of Happiness radio. Apparently in Japan, if you
go to pizza hut, they offer curry pizza, not to
be confused with the pizza huts here in America, which
mostly offer empty booths and sadness. Coming up in a
little bit, Sarah Gonzalez will be here in the next segment.
You know Sarah from the Blaze TV or exposing figuratively
(08:46):
not literally, predator drag queens. And now she's doing similar
work with the Islamic community. So that's coming up in
just a little bit. But first, I read the New
York Times, so you don't have to. And the New
York Times editorial board must have had one hell of
a staff meeting last week. Some bright little spark plug,
looking up from his oat milk Latte, said, Hey, we
(09:08):
need a fresh way to make Jews look like the
new Gestapo. And obviously, I know a lot of you
out there have mixed feelings about Israel. But and I
just don't like picking sides in these things. But if
I had to pick a side, it wouldn't be the
Islamic extremists. Now, I also believe, whether you're pro Israel
or anti Israel, wouldn't you agree nothing's more important than
(09:31):
the truth. The New York Times decided to do a
story about dogs raping Palestinian prisoners. That sounds terrible. It
sounds terrible. Fortunately, it only sounds terrible because it didn't happen.
So the fact checker at the New York Times, poor
guy probably still has a Union card. Pipe said he goes, ah, hey, everybody,
I looked into this. We couldn't find any evidence of
(09:53):
Israeli soldiers raping people with dogs. We got nothing, doesn't matter.
They ran with it anyway. They all high fived each other.
They published the article in the sacred halls of the
paper of record, admitting you have this is so bizarre.
(10:15):
The couldn't find proof of dogs raping humans was just
a little too controversial for them, so they went with
the story anyway. It's like your teenager admitting you total
the car and then demanding you buy him at Tesla
because hey, I was transparent about it. Yeah, they apologized.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the dog days of legacy media.
(10:37):
The outsourcing on this masterpiece is what you'd get if
you let a room full of TikTok activists play telephone
with a Wiji board. They asked lawyers and human rights
activists and non government organizations and aid workers and just
random Palestinians, people whose day jobs sometimes involves trying to
murder people? Could you corroborate this for us? And then
(11:01):
a couple of people said, ah, yeah, they rape people
with dogs. It's journalism the way your drunk uncle does genealogy,
one verifiable, maybe unverifiable story, and then suddenly the whole
family tree is full of war criminals. That's a that analogy,
that's actually a thing that happened in my family. It's
(11:22):
a long story. But the crown jewel of this evidence
there's something called euro med Monitor. It's a news outlet
with the impartiality of a Hamas recruiting poster, and the
Time quotes it. They quoted it like it was some
nun who's never lined before, even though these guys have
the credibility of a three dollars bill and the political
(11:42):
leanings of a suicide vest But why let a little
thing like the truth stop you from running an article?
Why let a little thing like terrorist adjacent bookkeeping ruin
a perfectly good blood libel. Very bizarre timing on this
article right after the world gets buried under forensic proof
of what Hamas did to Israeli women on October seventh,
(12:05):
actual rapes, mutilations, horror that makes you want to bathe
and hand sanitizer. The New York Times decides it's the
perfect moment to scream, Hey, have you considered the possibility
that in Israel they let dogs rape Muslims. It's like
showing up to a murder victim's funeral and yelling, yeah,
but did you hear about that time the deceased forgot
(12:25):
to recycle? Oh and then it turns out they didn't
forget to recycle. This isn't reporting, This is just people
on the left wearing hipster glasses and a press badge.
The Israeli ambassador responded in a relatively rational way. He said,
(12:48):
please send us a real complaint through proper channels and
will investigate. You're getting your talking points from the Hamas
gift shops. Well, I've added, yeah, while you're at it,
stop recycling that Gaza hospital fairy tale. You walked back
faster than a CNN news anchor after a bad tweet.
(13:08):
Remember that, Remember when they talked about Israel blew up
a hospital in Gaza, And then they looked a little
harder and they said, ouh, it turns out Hamas blew
up a hospital in Gaza. And then they looked a
little more into it, and they said, it turns out
Hamas blew up the parking lot of a hospital in Gaza.
Not quite the same hard hitting news story they wanted
it to be Look, the New York Times piece does
(13:29):
land one solid haymaker. The Times literally printed the following
They said, there is no evidence as Raeli leaders ordered
the rapes, and then kept right on accusing them of
ordering the rapes. This is the journalistic version of saying, look,
I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens, and also
the Jews trained the aliens. You almost want to frame
(13:54):
it and hang it next to the Dewey defates Truman
newspaper headline from back in the day. I just guess
what I'm trying to say is this. I'm not trying
to defend Israel or suggest that they're perfect, but relying
on unverified testimony from a population that's spent decades turning
(14:15):
the Doggate my homework into an international incident is not
exactly Pulitzer Prize winning material. It's more like letting the
Fox write a Yelp review for the Henhouse. The piece
gets so frothing it starts painting every Palestinian as a
professional liar. That's kind of part of the problem here.
Once you publish this article and then fact check it
(14:38):
and then admit none of it was true, this isn't
doing Palestine any favors. The Israeli Palestine media circus has
always been a clown car doing donuts on a minefield,
but this chapter has the dogs in the driver's seat.
Every time Hamask commits an atrocity so grotesque.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
It makes the terrorist in Hamas look like mister Rogers,
the press suddenly discovers a brand new, completely made up
Israeli war crime, and then they talk about it for
four days until they realize it's not true, and then
they publish a retraction on page eighty two, and the
damage has already been done.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Nobody ever looks at the retraction. The dog ate it,
the dog raped it. And at this point, the only
thing The Times hasn't blamed on Israeli canines is your
late Amazon package. Next time you see the uh blue
haired septum piercing community clutching their pearls about genocide in Israel,
(15:45):
just remember they already told you there's no evidence. They
just couldn't resist printing the lie anymore. Because nothing screams
democracy dies in darkness like running a story darker than
a Gaza power outage, and twice is manufactured. Bow wow
wow you po ypa.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, let's get straight to discussion. Were here to talk
about something some politics and government and Nallice Hit and
Coke Gutchy in this show, hit, ain't.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You average this podcast?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
You gotta get its own dam We can this this
pursuit of.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Happiness, everybody, Kenny, you abster here with a quick reminder,
gold and silver just take record highs now Wall Street's saying, hey,
it's never been a better time to invest. Our national
debt is so big it needs its own zip code.
The dollar's been doing the limbo inflations out here, shrinking
our savings like a cheap sweater in the dryer. One minute,
(16:40):
you've got retirement money. Next minute, it's not enough for
a happy meal and some loose change. But gold and
silver always a smart idea. In fact, if you call
your capital, you could find out about how you could
qualify for twenty thousand dollars in bonus coins. No joke,
Pick up the phone. Call your capital eight hundred undred
(17:00):
three six four nine two zero zero. That's eight hundred
three six four nine two zero zero. Rush Limbaugh famously
endorsed Leir Capital. I endorse them. To find out why,
call deer Capital at eight hundred three six four nine
two zero zero. Tell them I sent you. Remember El Choppo,
El Chopo making headlines today. El Chopo just requested a
(17:21):
transfer from an American prison and one in Mexico. So
what happens if they deny him? I imagine if he
gets denied, he'll probably just tunnel there. I don't know.
We have other problems in Texas. Play the most. Give
me some of that cultural diversity we've been loving. Oh
it's beautiful. What did Obama say? The most beautiful sound?
(17:45):
The most beautiful sound you'd ever heard, Ladies and gentlemen.
While we have been taking a break from the chaos
down at the border for once, there's a quieter, but
probably just as concerning invasion happening here in our backyard.
It involves the Pallas Fort Worth area in the Katie,
Texas area, and it looks an awful lot like what's
happening in Dearborn, Michigan or Minneapolis. In fact, in DFW
(18:08):
you probably heard a group tried to turn a publicly
funded water park into a straight up Muslim only swimming party.
Berkini's and all that must be fun. I can't find
a Berkini in my size. They keep looking taxpayer slides,
halal food. It's just as American as apple pie and
couscous who doesn't want that? Now at the same time,
out in Katie, Texas, right here in the Houston area,
(18:31):
this is I couldn't believe this when they broke the story.
Today Muslim brotherhood linked networks are pushing a massive new
Islamic center centers and what looks like the next Sharia
style enclave, creepy Islamification claybook playbook, everybody special privileges, parallel societies,
public dollars funneled straight into well your money right into
(18:53):
their Sharia utopia. And thank God for people like Sarah
Gonzalez you know her, you love her from Texas Scorecard
in the Blaze. She rolled in like a Texas sized
wrecking ball and exposed to the whole DFW water park
grift for sipts in hand, confronted the organizers on camera
a daycare lady, we actually have a leering center in Texas,
(19:15):
Ladies and gentlemen, just like Minneapolis. Oh, we were so jealous.
Don't be jealous anymore. Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome to
the show. The one and only, the Beautiful and brilliant.
Sarah Gonzalez, thanks for joining us this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It's always a pleasure, Sarah, every time I check in
on the work y'all are doing. I've always been a
fan of The Blaze, and I think the person at
the Blaze currently the most interesting is easily you. The
work you do is the most groundbreaking, hard hitting. Is
it awkward sometimes in the break room when you break
these stories and other people are you know, it's not
quite as it feels like you're the most cutting edge
(19:50):
person over there.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Well, we'll say I think that sometimes the work that
I do makes others a little bit uncomfortable because you know,
I mean just in general, not even at the Blaze,
just in general. People who are in our line of occupation.
You know, they're podcasters, their content creators. They're not used
to actually going out in the field and doing on
the ground journalism. So it is funny to kind of
(20:17):
watch them tense up that some of these confrontations, because
they can get quite heated. But yeah, I mean, it's
just it's work that needs to be done. And I
just think, you know, if I have the platform that
I do, and I can get eyeballs on real problems
that exist, not just in the state, but in this country.
Why not do it? So that's what we're that's what
we're trying to do. Unfortunately, the problem we're running into
is that there's so much to uncover in so little time.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
You have a big show, you have a big platform,
you have a big reach, and we here in you know,
down here in Houston, we do comedy when we're not
on the radio or podcasting, and people threaten to hurt us,
they threaten to kill us, which is weird because we're
not really it's not like we're trying to convert the unconverted.
We just entertain people. Do you ever feel unsafe doing
this work?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I do.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I Actually, we just recently started. We made the decision
that we are bringing security with us whenever we go
out in the field and get the stuff done, and
quite frankly with the Muslim saying, even the expos as
that I'm doing where I'm not confronting people in the field,
it does get a little unsafe because you start to
get the death threats rolling in, You start to get
you know, the unwanted eyeballs on your content from people
(21:25):
who really actually do mean this country harm. So it
does get a little bit unsettling. But you know, we're
in Texas and I carry everywhere I go, and you
know I have security on top of that, so I
at this point i'd be like, you know, don't try it.
It's not going to end well for you if you,
you know, come after me. But it is a little
scary that that pointing out these types of things can
(21:45):
even get you the death threats. You know, like what, okay,
so me pointing out the change in this state, me
pointing out the fraud or you know, whatever's happening, religious discrimination,
whatever it is that gets people so angry that they
actually threatened to end your Life's that's really sad that
that's where we're at at as.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It's great, it's a lot, it's exhausting, frankly, and you're
the one that this was a national news story. You
broke it. This got a lot of coverage over the
last week or so, starting off with the Muslims only
swim party fun and that sounds like a blast, and
then completely with prayer rooms and zero infidels allowed. I
think that's us. And it led you to a woman
named doctor Amina Knight. You interviewed her. She runs a
(22:25):
daycare called the Excellence Early Leering Center, and it looks
a lot like taxpayer fraud to me. I mean, I
don't know how they're getting funding. But were you looking
for this? Was it an accident? How did you find this?
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Yeah? It's actually I'm so glad that you asked me
that I really did stumble upon this. I opened up
my Facebook, and my Facebook knows the algorithm so well
that it led me to a community post. So it
was like a you know, DFW area Facebook group where
people in the surrounding area just join and generally talk
about things. And someone posted it in the group, just
(23:00):
a copy of the flyer and said is this alarming
to anyone else? So I was like, no way, that
can't possibly be true. There's no way this is real.
So I started doing my own digging, and I uncovered
the website where the tickets were being sold, and sure enough,
in broad daylight, there was a flyer that said Muslims
only on it like two or three times, and so
(23:20):
I immediately jumped on it. Started investigating this entire woman's
life and background and what she does for a living,
and took screenshots and try to figure out where the
money's going. So I really was a happy accident that
I stumbled on this on Facebook and was able to
cross reference it by doing my own you know, investigation
and digging and broke the story. And I think, you know,
(23:43):
they were not prepared for that level of publicity that they,
unfortunately for them.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Received, And this isn't nothing. It sounds like what they
were trying to do it was illegal. Governor Abbot stepped in.
Sounds like he found out about it because of you
just browsing the internet. He's threatening to Yanka half a
millionaire grants and then boom, they cancel the whole event.
A llahu oopsie acbar. Did you expect Texas, the State
of Texas to get involved?
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Not at first. I was actually quite shocked at how
quickly all of this transpired. And I will say every
time I find something like this, I do send it
to state officials, you know, I send it to the
Attorney General's office. I send it to the Governor's office,
and between the two of them, I hope that one
of their offices can act. So I was really happy
to see that Governor Abbott used the mechanism that he did,
which is very very smart. By the way, the public
(24:30):
safety grants, you know, these all of these cities are
taking funding from the state, and when you take that funding,
you have to agree that you are going to abide
by you know, civil discrimination statutes both statewide and federally.
So the fact that they can utilize these and the
mechanism that they can to say, hey, if you guys
are doing this, we're not going to give you funding.
(24:51):
And in this case they actually said, we already gave
this funding to you, so you're going to have to
pay us back. It really was incredible that the governor's
office did that. I will say, what I really want
them to look into, and what I have sent to
both of their offices, is that this woman was accepting
payment to an LLC that she now has completely nuked
(25:11):
off of the face of the internet, changed it to
her own personal name. So all of these tickets people
were sending money to a very curious LLC. So we're
hoping that the investigation doesn't stop at this Muslim only
water park event and we start really looking into where
the money was going, because there are some curious Muslim
brotherhood and care linked connections there. It's right there, as
(25:34):
there always are, Kenny.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I mean, it's so bizarre how this is just in
our backyard and nobody, no one ever bothers to look.
I first learned about your work. We obviously you and
I have a lot of mutual friends. But I first
learned about your work, I don't know, probably a decade
or so ago, from you exposing like the drag queen
stuff and the people that are weird, suspicious people trying
to hang out with other people's kids, And to me,
(25:57):
I think that's how you got on the map. At
least that's how I learned about work. Those people were
not exactly kind to you, or your husband or your children.
Now it seems like you're upsetting a whole different, weird subculture.
Which which group scares you the most? Which are you
the most concerned about?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:14):
I mean probably it's a toss up between the mentally ill,
you know, trans drag queen community and the Muslims. But
I gotta say the Muslims because they're pretty intent on,
you know, like martyrdom is kind of their thing. They're
pretty intent on dismantling Western civilization and pretty upset with
those who point out what they're doing, So I got
(26:36):
to say probably. I mean, listen, anytime I see a
Muslim walking my way, I'm like, all right, is there?
How sick are their clothes? Is there a suicide vest
under there? Like? What is happening? Because it's it's a
little uh. I gotta say that one scares me the most.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But none of these people would I trust around children.
I just find the whole they're unsettling. Hey, one more
quickie for you before you get out of here. Next
Monday's starts early voting for the runoffs. I think you
and I are cheering for most of the same candidates,
if not all of them. Any predictions, any anything you
think is going to happen, well, I just.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
I feel the momentum. I really feel the momentum. I
think if everyone who has this Ken Paxton energy, this
Ken Paxton momentum, if everyone who has that energy shows
up at the ballot box, I really think that we
could be looking at the next Senator Ken Paxton, which
is music to my ears. I'd hate to lose him
as Texas ag of course, but look, having him as
(27:36):
a Senator and being able to kick out dinosaur John
Cornyan would just be like, inject that into my veins. Honestly,
I'm trying to wiel this into the universe. I really
do think the energy here in the state of Texas.
I don't know if you agree with me. I feel
like it's palpable, the energy for Paxxton replacing Cornan as
long as everyone does their part and shows up.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, I mean, Gonzales is leaving Crunch, leaving a crack
Crockett going away Cornyn would be I mean, that would
be delicious. But Sarah, you are a Texas right wing legend,
a conserv a hero to conservative moms all over the state,
dropping bombshells, keeping it unfiltered. Ladies and gentlemen. You'll can
find speaking of Sarah Gonzales Unfiltered on Blaze TV. You
(28:18):
could check out her work at Texas scorecard dot com. Sarah,
thank you so much for your time this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Ken Webster's Pursuit of Happiness a radio show that's just
as good when you're driving around Soba as it is
when you're drunk at home.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Happy birthday to NBA legend Dennis Rodman, also a local Houstonian.
He turned sixty five today. I was gonna get him
a gift because he lives in this neighborhood. I see
him all over the place. But it's hard to find
somebody a gift before you figure out what gender they're
identifying as these days. So I'll have to ask him
are they I have to ask they, and hopefully they
(28:57):
will let me know before we get out of here.
This after and can we just talk about your health
for a minute. This is going to get a little dark,
but follow me down the rabbit hole because it's important.
I want you to imagine you're lying in a hospital bed.
You have cancer, skin cancer spreading like weeds in a
government funded garden. And the doctor comes in and he says, hey, buddy,
(29:21):
it's not looking good. You've got six months maybe, Like, well,
what can I do? He's like, well, there's a new
experimental drug called rp one. It's in very early tests.
It actually shrinks tumors for some people. When you mix
it with another medicine, people take it, the patients feel better.
(29:44):
The doctor says, this might work some real hope, not
the fake kind politicians sell. So to get this, we're
going to need to go to the FDA with the
test results and say please approve this in the FDA,
those genius safety experts who moves slower than a DMV
line on a free donut day send back a fancy
(30:05):
complete response letter. That's what it's called. And what that
means is your data sucks your study with sloppy go
away denied. Here's what's weird about that. I understand if
somebody's healthy and you don't want to give them an
experimental drug, but if they're dying. If somebody's dying, then
you think they should have their right to try it.
(30:25):
Back to counting tiles on the ceiling while cancer throws
a victory party in your body. This is exactly why
they passed the big Right to Try law back in
twenty eighteen. Do you remember who signed that bill? That's right,
Donald J. Trump. The JAY stands for genius. Everyone in
Washington liked it. At the time. Everyone was high fiving
(30:47):
like they just invented ice cream. Trump signed it. He smiled.
Tear jerker commercials everywhere, sad families begging please let my
loved one try the miracle drug. It sounded good. If
you're a terminal patient, you should get to try an
experimental drug. Even if the FDA hasn't fully blessed it yet.
(31:08):
You shouldn't have to die while bureaucrats play roulette with
your life. The problem is here in the real world,
the right to try law is not really working the
way it was intended. The law says you have a right,
but it doesn't make anybody actually give you the drug.
That's where this gets a little tricky. You have a
right to try the drug, but the company might not
(31:30):
want to give it to you, or they might not
feel like they can without getting into trouble. What about
your doctor? What about the hospital? Everybody just goes man,
I want to be responsible for that. Why is that?
Companies a look at the request and they'll think it's
a little expensive. Lawyers could sue us if something goes wrong,
one bad side effect in our billion dollar full approval,
(31:51):
dreams will die, So they slam the door on your
chance of living. Sorry, you'll just have to die. We
can't risk giving you a drug that could make you
die in a different way. Doctors and hospitals are scared
of getting sued. They're scared of angry insurance companies and
some know it all reviewer writing mean things about them
on the internet. Lord knows people write a lot of
(32:13):
mean things about me on the internet. So what's the result.
Since twenty eighteen, barely any patients have actually gotten these drugs.
The right to try law is just kind of a theory.
Usk well, right to try. Maybe someday we'll try the
right to try law. Guys, how many people have done this?
We're talking numbers so small you could fit them all
in one mini van with room for the driver's emotional
(32:36):
support hamster. Let me tell you a quick story. When
they passed the law, they rolled out this poor als
guy at a big ceremony, like a prop in a
Hallmark movie, cameras rolling politicians crying this law is for
people like him. It's very heartwarming stuff. Fast forward a
little bit. The guy tries using the right to try
(32:57):
law and the company says, Nah, a little too much
hassle for us. We wouldn't want to get sued. He died,
the law might as well have handed him a participation
trophy and a card that says better luck in your
next life. That is peak Washington comedy. A big noble
name on the bill, a giant press conference, then duck
(33:19):
dot dot dot dot dot dug nothing. It's like the
government gave a starving man a beautiful menu and told him, Hey,
order anything you want. The kitchen's closed, but order anything
you want. Here's the real stupid part. These patients aren't dummies.
They're bright people. They've already been through the chemo meat grinder,
the radiation barbecue. They've had all the nasty side effects.
(33:44):
They're out of options. There's nothing left they can order
on the menu. They know the new drug might not work,
it might even make them die faster. But if you're
already dying, you're probably thinking, Lady dead is already on
the table. I'd like at least a chance to roll
the dice. The FDA's attitude is that they just don't
(34:05):
want to take the risk. What if something bad heppens,
The paperwork would be awful. I'd be here all day
filling out forms. Oh my god, a TPS report for
oh the cover sheets, Oh my god, a cover sheet.
And the patient who's already dying says, it's what it's
worse than dying. Yes, sign me up. This is the
same government that can't balance a check book, can't stop
(34:28):
the border from looking like a revolving door, can't define
what a woman is, but sure, let them decide exactly
how much risk you're allowed to take with your own life.
Their official model might as well be better dead than
we have to fill out extra forms. So let's go
back to that drug I was talking about, RP one.
(34:50):
It's a skin cancer drug. The FDA just kicked it
to the curb. That's the exact situation the right to
Try law was supposed to fix, but it didn't. It's
still blocked, still waiting, still dying. Great job, team, Is
there a smarter way? What's the smarter way? The smarter
way would be to stop letting one giant FDA office
(35:12):
sit on the throne like a grumpy king. Let independent
smart groups, private labs, university doctors, whatever, look at the
data and write simple reports in plain English. Hmm, this
drug helped about thirty five percent of people. Might make
your hair fall out faster than cheap shampoo. Your call
(35:32):
champ sign here, You and your doctor get to decide.
You sign a form that says I won't sue. The
company could still say no, it's their drug, But at
least the door isn't nailed shut by some lifetime bureaucrat
in Washington who's never met a patient he couldn't outlive.
I'm not saying turn sick people into mad scientist s
(35:54):
guinea pigs. I'm not saying to inject random bathtub chemicals
into cancer patients. But when the choice is try this
maybe helpful thing, or die, the answer should be obvious.
The right to try laws started as a decent idea,
and it got turned into useless government slop. Lots of
(36:16):
talk zero results in the same old body count. So
the next time some politician stands up and says, hey,
we're giving patients hope, remind them in Washington, hope costs billions.
It comes with four hundred pages of roles, It arrives
(36:38):
the day after you needed it. Your life belongs to you.
It's not some paper pushing lifer in government who's never
lost sleepover your cancer scan. That's not crazy, that's common sense.
Pass the common sense quick before they regulate that too,
because at this rate, the only right you have is
(37:00):
the right to try filling out Form forty seven B,
while your obituary rights itself. I'm Kenny Webster. It's been
a pleasure being here with you this afternoon. Tomorrow night,
we're at the Houston improv. Please come join us. It's
gonna be a lot of fun to the rest of you.
I love you all. We'll be back bright early tomorrow
morning for more of what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. Tell
the government to kiss your ass when you listen to this.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Show, everybody. Kenny Webster here with a quick reminder, golden silver,
just take record highs now. Wall Street's saying, hey, it's
never been a better time to invest. Our national debt
is so big it needs its own zip code. The
dollar's been doing the limbo. Inflation's out here, shrinking our
(37:57):
savings like a cheap sweater in the dryer. One minute,
you've got retirement money. Next minute, it's not enough for
a happy meal in some loose change. But gold and
silver always a smart idea. In fact, if you call
Lear Capital, you could find out about how you could
qualify for twenty thousand dollars in bonus coins. No joke,
(38:18):
Pick up the phone, call your capital. Eight hundred three
six four nine two zero zero. That's eight hundred three
six four nine two zero zero. Rush Limbaugh famously endorsed
Lear Capital. I endorse them too. Find out why call
your capital at eight hundred three six four ninety two
zero zero
Giganic government sucks. The suit of having as radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile of a suit
of habing and us on your radio toil just as
Chesburg is a liberty rise at. The food of.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Today is National Fruit Cocktail Day. I'm just gonna climb
out on a limb here and guess it's probably cash
Betel's least favorite cocktail. Hi everybody, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks
for joining us. My special guest this afternoon will be
the beautiful and brilliant Sarah Gonzalez. You may know her
from The Blaze or Texas Scorecards. She's been doing a
great job lately of outing some Islamic extremist communities here
(00:45):
in the greater Houston area and throughout the state of Texas,
particularly in the Dallas Fort Worth area. We're gonna go
undercover with her, Actually, no we're not. We're just gonna
talk with her on the radio about some of the
work she's been doing, so stick around for that. Why
don't we start off with this though, before we get
to Texas, Let's go to California. Meet Tom Stayer, the
billionaire who got rich on fossil fuels. Then decided to
(01:09):
lecture the rest of us about them. Oh that's so nice,
thanks Tom. Tom Steyer is that classic limousine liberal who
built a two point four billion dollar fortune running a
hedge fund that feasts on coal mines. And then one
day he looked at a melting glacier, probably from the
(01:29):
window his private jet. He had a spiritual awakening, and
he reinvented himself as Planet Earth scold in chief. So
what does he do now? Now he flies around telling
coal miners and truck drivers you're killing children while his
own bank account still smells faintly of petroleum. Yeah, that's
(01:49):
the kind of guy he's. Oh, and he's running for
the governor at California. This is the ultimate green hypocrisy
smoothie made with fossil fuel profits, served with a side
of sankt. And right now, this walking carbon offset is
having a full blown mount meltdown over something most of
you probably don't care about at all. Warner Brothers in
(02:10):
Paramount are going to merge together. I've never thought of
Warner Brothers or Paramount as being a right wing media company,
neither of which I would consider to be on the right.
He says, it's our right wing takeover of media. The
man sounds like he just caught the Butler voting Republican.
(02:31):
According to Tom, this deal will shove CNN straight into
the pocket of some fellow who once smiled in President
Trump's general direction. Yeah, I don't get it either. Cue
the dramatic music and the fainting couch. Apparently the next
step is Anderson Cooper goose stepping across the set while
Tucker Carlson's ghost cackles in the control room. Tucker does
(02:53):
have a weird laugh, doesn't he. Tom Stayer got all
misty about the golden age of Ted Turner's CNN. Ted
Turner passed away recently, and apparently it's really bothering Tom.
He still calls CNN the most trusted name in news. Trusted.
The network sold the Iraq War like it was a
(03:14):
timeshare in paradise. If that was journalism's Mount Everest, the
rest of us have been hiking through a swamp of
composts the whole time. Let's talk about the actual media map,
shall we. Right now, America's information diet is one long
progressive buffet. ABC News, Liberal NBC News Liberal MSNBC rebranded
(03:35):
his MS now it's still NBC. It's liberal, NPR and
PBS previously publicly funded liberal News, The New York Times Liberal,
The Washington Post, Liberal, Disney, Netflix, it's all left wing.
Every major outlet staffed by people who think both sides
meets Rachel Maddow and a slightly less hysterical version of
(03:57):
Rachel Maddow. That's boy, that's partisanship, is it. They don't
report the facts. They perform guilt pageants with better production values.
So one possible merger threatens to let a little oxygen
into the room, and suddenly it's pearl Harbor for people
at tom Stayers cocktail party. The same crowd that cheered
(04:22):
when six corporations zoned everything from your iPhone to your
sitcom now act like one modest consolidation is the new
coming of fascism. Consolidation is only evil when it might
dilute the kool aid. The hypocrisy is so thick you
could spread it on a bagel. These are the people
(04:44):
who spent years locking arms with big Tech and big
Hollywood and big academia, all the while pretending they were
the scrappy underdogs. Now one deal might potentially theoretically loosen
their death grip on the remote and their dreaming coup.
Why because some guy that works at one of the
two companies isn't a far left zellot. It's like the
(05:06):
kid who hogged the ball for thirty years suddenly yelling
foul the first time someone else touches it. So where
does this sermon come from? Tom Steyer, running for governor
right now on a platform that basically promises to turn
the state into one giant participation trophy with open borders
and ice listed as an endangered species, is out here
(05:27):
telling us California's media environment is in danger. California's media
environment is already so far to the left it makes
peong Yang look balanced. That's the capital of North Korea. Yeah,
if Tom wins, the only growth industry left will be
the imiss Gavin bumper stickers. What is he worried about?
(05:50):
He's worried about bias. The man has the self awareness
of a golden retriever staring into a mirror. Remember when
Tom used to jet around the planet in private planes
lecturing us about our carbon sins. Oh yeah, he's still
doing that. Same guy. New topics still rich off the
old fossil fuel money, Still scolding, still certain that any
(06:11):
threat to left wing media monopolies is a threat to
democracy itself. Consistency's a very beautiful thing in California. But
here's the glorious part of all this silliness. If this
merger actually delivers even a faint right word, tilt fine,
pour the champagne, American stuff, none of that important nonsense. Yeah,
(06:33):
not because we want our own propaganda machine. We've had
quite enough propaganda banks, but because a little ideological competition
might keep the country from becoming one endless faculty lounge
with worst parking. Imagine CNN running a segment that doesn't
treat every Republican idea like it was drafted by Satan
(06:55):
during a drinking bender. Imagine a late night talk show
who tells jokes that don't require a safe space and
a trigger warning. Would that be the end of civilization
or would it finally be the comedy special we've all
been waiting for. Imagine jokes that are actually funny. The
(07:15):
left axe like media balance is tyranny. That's odd they
never called it tyranny when every talk show, every awards ceremony,
every college campus spent a decade doing the same Trump
is literally hitler routine. That wasn't biased, guys, that was Tuesday.
So let the deal go through, let the market sort
(07:36):
it out, and if it results in even one network
that doesn't treat viewers like fragile emotional support hamsters who
need hourly reminders the Orange man is bad and red
hats are evil, then Tom Stayer can sob into his
recycled Hemp handkerchief all he likes. After years of left
(07:56):
wing media dominance that made old Soviet newspapers looks subtle,
a little right word correction wouldn't be a coup. It
would be about damn time. And honestly, I think we've
earned it. I think we've earned the laugh.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I feel never listening to you all again.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But Suit of Happiness radio. Apparently in Japan, if you
go to pizza hut, they offer curry pizza, not to
be confused with the pizza huts here in America, which
mostly offer empty booths and sadness. Coming up in a
little bit, Sarah Gonzalez will be here in the next segment.
You know Sarah from the Blaze TV or exposing figuratively
(08:46):
not literally, predator drag queens. And now she's doing similar
work with the Islamic community. So that's coming up in
just a little bit. But first, I read the New
York Times, so you don't have to. And the New
York Times editorial board must have had one hell of
a staff meeting last week. Some bright little spark plug,
looking up from his oat milk Latte, said, Hey, we
(09:08):
need a fresh way to make Jews look like the
new Gestapo. And obviously, I know a lot of you
out there have mixed feelings about Israel. But and I
just don't like picking sides in these things. But if
I had to pick a side, it wouldn't be the
Islamic extremists. Now, I also believe, whether you're pro Israel
or anti Israel, wouldn't you agree nothing's more important than
(09:31):
the truth. The New York Times decided to do a
story about dogs raping Palestinian prisoners. That sounds terrible. It
sounds terrible. Fortunately, it only sounds terrible because it didn't happen.
So the fact checker at the New York Times, poor
guy probably still has a Union card. Pipe said he goes, ah, hey, everybody,
I looked into this. We couldn't find any evidence of
(09:53):
Israeli soldiers raping people with dogs. We got nothing, doesn't matter.
They ran with it anyway. They all high fived each other.
They published the article in the sacred halls of the
paper of record, admitting you have this is so bizarre.
(10:15):
The couldn't find proof of dogs raping humans was just
a little too controversial for them, so they went with
the story anyway. It's like your teenager admitting you total
the car and then demanding you buy him at Tesla
because hey, I was transparent about it. Yeah, they apologized.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the dog days of legacy media.
(10:37):
The outsourcing on this masterpiece is what you'd get if
you let a room full of TikTok activists play telephone
with a Wiji board. They asked lawyers and human rights
activists and non government organizations and aid workers and just
random Palestinians, people whose day jobs sometimes involves trying to
murder people? Could you corroborate this for us? And then
(11:01):
a couple of people said, ah, yeah, they rape people
with dogs. It's journalism the way your drunk uncle does genealogy,
one verifiable, maybe unverifiable story, and then suddenly the whole
family tree is full of war criminals. That's a that analogy,
that's actually a thing that happened in my family. It's
(11:22):
a long story. But the crown jewel of this evidence
there's something called euro med Monitor. It's a news outlet
with the impartiality of a Hamas recruiting poster, and the
Time quotes it. They quoted it like it was some
nun who's never lined before, even though these guys have
the credibility of a three dollars bill and the political
(11:42):
leanings of a suicide vest But why let a little
thing like the truth stop you from running an article?
Why let a little thing like terrorist adjacent bookkeeping ruin
a perfectly good blood libel. Very bizarre timing on this
article right after the world gets buried under forensic proof
of what Hamas did to Israeli women on October seventh,
(12:05):
actual rapes, mutilations, horror that makes you want to bathe
and hand sanitizer. The New York Times decides it's the
perfect moment to scream, Hey, have you considered the possibility
that in Israel they let dogs rape Muslims. It's like
showing up to a murder victim's funeral and yelling, yeah,
but did you hear about that time the deceased forgot
(12:25):
to recycle? Oh and then it turns out they didn't
forget to recycle. This isn't reporting, This is just people
on the left wearing hipster glasses and a press badge.
The Israeli ambassador responded in a relatively rational way. He said,
(12:48):
please send us a real complaint through proper channels and
will investigate. You're getting your talking points from the Hamas
gift shops. Well, I've added, yeah, while you're at it,
stop recycling that Gaza hospital fairy tale. You walked back
faster than a CNN news anchor after a bad tweet.
(13:08):
Remember that, Remember when they talked about Israel blew up
a hospital in Gaza, And then they looked a little
harder and they said, ouh, it turns out Hamas blew
up a hospital in Gaza. And then they looked a
little more into it, and they said, it turns out
Hamas blew up the parking lot of a hospital in Gaza.
Not quite the same hard hitting news story they wanted
it to be Look, the New York Times piece does
(13:29):
land one solid haymaker. The Times literally printed the following
They said, there is no evidence as Raeli leaders ordered
the rapes, and then kept right on accusing them of
ordering the rapes. This is the journalistic version of saying, look,
I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens, and also
the Jews trained the aliens. You almost want to frame
(13:54):
it and hang it next to the Dewey defates Truman
newspaper headline from back in the day. I just guess
what I'm trying to say is this. I'm not trying
to defend Israel or suggest that they're perfect, but relying
on unverified testimony from a population that's spent decades turning
(14:15):
the Doggate my homework into an international incident is not
exactly Pulitzer Prize winning material. It's more like letting the
Fox write a Yelp review for the Henhouse. The piece
gets so frothing it starts painting every Palestinian as a
professional liar. That's kind of part of the problem here.
Once you publish this article and then fact check it
(14:38):
and then admit none of it was true, this isn't
doing Palestine any favors. The Israeli Palestine media circus has
always been a clown car doing donuts on a minefield,
but this chapter has the dogs in the driver's seat.
Every time Hamask commits an atrocity so grotesque.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
It makes the terrorist in Hamas look like mister Rogers,
the press suddenly discovers a brand new, completely made up
Israeli war crime, and then they talk about it for
four days until they realize it's not true, and then
they publish a retraction on page eighty two, and the
damage has already been done.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Nobody ever looks at the retraction. The dog ate it,
the dog raped it. And at this point, the only
thing The Times hasn't blamed on Israeli canines is your
late Amazon package. Next time you see the uh blue
haired septum piercing community clutching their pearls about genocide in Israel,
(15:45):
just remember they already told you there's no evidence. They
just couldn't resist printing the lie anymore. Because nothing screams
democracy dies in darkness like running a story darker than
a Gaza power outage, and twice is manufactured. Bow wow
wow you po ypa.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, let's get straight to discussion. Were here to talk
about something some politics and government and Nallice Hit and
Coke Gutchy in this show, hit, ain't.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You average this podcast?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
You gotta get its own dam We can this this
pursuit of.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Happiness, everybody, Kenny, you abster here with a quick reminder,
gold and silver just take record highs now Wall Street's saying, hey,
it's never been a better time to invest. Our national
debt is so big it needs its own zip code.
The dollar's been doing the limbo inflations out here, shrinking
our savings like a cheap sweater in the dryer. One minute,
(16:40):
you've got retirement money. Next minute, it's not enough for
a happy meal and some loose change. But gold and
silver always a smart idea. In fact, if you call
your capital, you could find out about how you could
qualify for twenty thousand dollars in bonus coins. No joke,
Pick up the phone. Call your capital eight hundred undred
(17:00):
three six four nine two zero zero. That's eight hundred
three six four nine two zero zero. Rush Limbaugh famously
endorsed Leir Capital. I endorse them. To find out why,
call deer Capital at eight hundred three six four nine
two zero zero. Tell them I sent you. Remember El Choppo,
El Chopo making headlines today. El Chopo just requested a
(17:21):
transfer from an American prison and one in Mexico. So
what happens if they deny him? I imagine if he
gets denied, he'll probably just tunnel there. I don't know.
We have other problems in Texas. Play the most. Give
me some of that cultural diversity we've been loving. Oh
it's beautiful. What did Obama say? The most beautiful sound?
(17:45):
The most beautiful sound you'd ever heard, Ladies and gentlemen.
While we have been taking a break from the chaos
down at the border for once, there's a quieter, but
probably just as concerning invasion happening here in our backyard.
It involves the Pallas Fort Worth area in the Katie,
Texas area, and it looks an awful lot like what's
happening in Dearborn, Michigan or Minneapolis. In fact, in DFW
(18:08):
you probably heard a group tried to turn a publicly
funded water park into a straight up Muslim only swimming party.
Berkini's and all that must be fun. I can't find
a Berkini in my size. They keep looking taxpayer slides,
halal food. It's just as American as apple pie and
couscous who doesn't want that? Now at the same time,
out in Katie, Texas, right here in the Houston area,
(18:31):
this is I couldn't believe this when they broke the story.
Today Muslim brotherhood linked networks are pushing a massive new
Islamic center centers and what looks like the next Sharia
style enclave, creepy Islamification claybook playbook, everybody special privileges, parallel societies,
public dollars funneled straight into well your money right into
(18:53):
their Sharia utopia. And thank God for people like Sarah
Gonzalez you know her, you love her from Texas Scorecard
in the Blaze. She rolled in like a Texas sized
wrecking ball and exposed to the whole DFW water park
grift for sipts in hand, confronted the organizers on camera
a daycare lady, we actually have a leering center in Texas,
(19:15):
Ladies and gentlemen, just like Minneapolis. Oh, we were so jealous.
Don't be jealous anymore. Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome to
the show. The one and only, the Beautiful and brilliant.
Sarah Gonzalez, thanks for joining us this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It's always a pleasure, Sarah, every time I check in
on the work y'all are doing. I've always been a
fan of The Blaze, and I think the person at
the Blaze currently the most interesting is easily you. The
work you do is the most groundbreaking, hard hitting. Is
it awkward sometimes in the break room when you break
these stories and other people are you know, it's not
quite as it feels like you're the most cutting edge
(19:50):
person over there.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Well, we'll say I think that sometimes the work that
I do makes others a little bit uncomfortable because you know,
I mean just in general, not even at the Blaze,
just in general. People who are in our line of occupation.
You know, they're podcasters, their content creators. They're not used
to actually going out in the field and doing on
the ground journalism. So it is funny to kind of
(20:17):
watch them tense up that some of these confrontations, because
they can get quite heated. But yeah, I mean, it's
just it's work that needs to be done. And I
just think, you know, if I have the platform that
I do, and I can get eyeballs on real problems
that exist, not just in the state, but in this country.
Why not do it? So that's what we're that's what
we're trying to do. Unfortunately, the problem we're running into
is that there's so much to uncover in so little time.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
You have a big show, you have a big platform,
you have a big reach, and we here in you know,
down here in Houston, we do comedy when we're not
on the radio or podcasting, and people threaten to hurt us,
they threaten to kill us, which is weird because we're
not really it's not like we're trying to convert the unconverted.
We just entertain people. Do you ever feel unsafe doing
this work?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I do.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I Actually, we just recently started. We made the decision
that we are bringing security with us whenever we go
out in the field and get the stuff done, and
quite frankly with the Muslim saying, even the expos as
that I'm doing where I'm not confronting people in the field,
it does get a little unsafe because you start to
get the death threats rolling in, You start to get
you know, the unwanted eyeballs on your content from people
(21:25):
who really actually do mean this country harm. So it
does get a little bit unsettling. But you know, we're
in Texas and I carry everywhere I go, and you
know I have security on top of that, so I
at this point i'd be like, you know, don't try it.
It's not going to end well for you if you,
you know, come after me. But it is a little
scary that that pointing out these types of things can
(21:45):
even get you the death threats. You know, like what, okay,
so me pointing out the change in this state, me
pointing out the fraud or you know, whatever's happening, religious discrimination,
whatever it is that gets people so angry that they
actually threatened to end your Life's that's really sad that
that's where we're at at as.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It's great, it's a lot, it's exhausting, frankly, and you're
the one that this was a national news story. You
broke it. This got a lot of coverage over the
last week or so, starting off with the Muslims only
swim party fun and that sounds like a blast, and
then completely with prayer rooms and zero infidels allowed. I
think that's us. And it led you to a woman
named doctor Amina Knight. You interviewed her. She runs a
(22:25):
daycare called the Excellence Early Leering Center, and it looks
a lot like taxpayer fraud to me. I mean, I
don't know how they're getting funding. But were you looking
for this? Was it an accident? How did you find this?
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Yeah? It's actually I'm so glad that you asked me
that I really did stumble upon this. I opened up
my Facebook, and my Facebook knows the algorithm so well
that it led me to a community post. So it
was like a you know, DFW area Facebook group where
people in the surrounding area just join and generally talk
about things. And someone posted it in the group, just
(23:00):
a copy of the flyer and said is this alarming
to anyone else? So I was like, no way, that
can't possibly be true. There's no way this is real.
So I started doing my own digging, and I uncovered
the website where the tickets were being sold, and sure enough,
in broad daylight, there was a flyer that said Muslims
only on it like two or three times, and so
(23:20):
I immediately jumped on it. Started investigating this entire woman's
life and background and what she does for a living,
and took screenshots and try to figure out where the
money's going. So I really was a happy accident that
I stumbled on this on Facebook and was able to
cross reference it by doing my own you know, investigation
and digging and broke the story. And I think, you know,
(23:43):
they were not prepared for that level of publicity that they,
unfortunately for them.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Received, And this isn't nothing. It sounds like what they
were trying to do it was illegal. Governor Abbot stepped in.
Sounds like he found out about it because of you
just browsing the internet. He's threatening to Yanka half a
millionaire grants and then boom, they cancel the whole event.
A llahu oopsie acbar. Did you expect Texas, the State
of Texas to get involved?
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Not at first. I was actually quite shocked at how
quickly all of this transpired. And I will say every
time I find something like this, I do send it
to state officials, you know, I send it to the
Attorney General's office. I send it to the Governor's office,
and between the two of them, I hope that one
of their offices can act. So I was really happy
to see that Governor Abbott used the mechanism that he did,
which is very very smart. By the way, the public
(24:30):
safety grants, you know, these all of these cities are
taking funding from the state, and when you take that funding,
you have to agree that you are going to abide
by you know, civil discrimination statutes both statewide and federally.
So the fact that they can utilize these and the
mechanism that they can to say, hey, if you guys
are doing this, we're not going to give you funding.
(24:51):
And in this case they actually said, we already gave
this funding to you, so you're going to have to
pay us back. It really was incredible that the governor's
office did that. I will say, what I really want
them to look into, and what I have sent to
both of their offices, is that this woman was accepting
payment to an LLC that she now has completely nuked
(25:11):
off of the face of the internet, changed it to
her own personal name. So all of these tickets people
were sending money to a very curious LLC. So we're
hoping that the investigation doesn't stop at this Muslim only
water park event and we start really looking into where
the money was going, because there are some curious Muslim
brotherhood and care linked connections there. It's right there, as
(25:34):
there always are, Kenny.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I mean, it's so bizarre how this is just in
our backyard and nobody, no one ever bothers to look.
I first learned about your work. We obviously you and
I have a lot of mutual friends. But I first
learned about your work, I don't know, probably a decade
or so ago, from you exposing like the drag queen
stuff and the people that are weird, suspicious people trying
to hang out with other people's kids, And to me,
(25:57):
I think that's how you got on the map. At
least that's how I learned about work. Those people were
not exactly kind to you, or your husband or your children.
Now it seems like you're upsetting a whole different, weird subculture.
Which which group scares you the most? Which are you
the most concerned about?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:14):
I mean probably it's a toss up between the mentally ill,
you know, trans drag queen community and the Muslims. But
I gotta say the Muslims because they're pretty intent on,
you know, like martyrdom is kind of their thing. They're
pretty intent on dismantling Western civilization and pretty upset with
those who point out what they're doing, So I got
(26:36):
to say probably. I mean, listen, anytime I see a
Muslim walking my way, I'm like, all right, is there?
How sick are their clothes? Is there a suicide vest
under there? Like? What is happening? Because it's it's a
little uh. I gotta say that one scares me the most.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But none of these people would I trust around children.
I just find the whole they're unsettling. Hey, one more
quickie for you before you get out of here. Next
Monday's starts early voting for the runoffs. I think you
and I are cheering for most of the same candidates,
if not all of them. Any predictions, any anything you
think is going to happen, well, I just.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
I feel the momentum. I really feel the momentum. I
think if everyone who has this Ken Paxton energy, this
Ken Paxton momentum, if everyone who has that energy shows
up at the ballot box, I really think that we
could be looking at the next Senator Ken Paxton, which
is music to my ears. I'd hate to lose him
as Texas ag of course, but look, having him as
(27:36):
a Senator and being able to kick out dinosaur John
Cornyan would just be like, inject that into my veins. Honestly,
I'm trying to wiel this into the universe. I really
do think the energy here in the state of Texas.
I don't know if you agree with me. I feel
like it's palpable, the energy for Paxxton replacing Cornan as
long as everyone does their part and shows up.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, I mean, Gonzales is leaving Crunch, leaving a crack
Crockett going away Cornyn would be I mean, that would
be delicious. But Sarah, you are a Texas right wing legend,
a conserv a hero to conservative moms all over the state,
dropping bombshells, keeping it unfiltered. Ladies and gentlemen. You'll can
find speaking of Sarah Gonzales Unfiltered on Blaze TV. You
(28:18):
could check out her work at Texas scorecard dot com. Sarah,
thank you so much for your time this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Ken Webster's Pursuit of Happiness a radio show that's just
as good when you're driving around Soba as it is
when you're drunk at home.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Happy birthday to NBA legend Dennis Rodman, also a local Houstonian.
He turned sixty five today. I was gonna get him
a gift because he lives in this neighborhood. I see
him all over the place. But it's hard to find
somebody a gift before you figure out what gender they're
identifying as these days. So I'll have to ask him
are they I have to ask they, and hopefully they
(28:57):
will let me know before we get out of here.
This after and can we just talk about your health
for a minute. This is going to get a little dark,
but follow me down the rabbit hole because it's important.
I want you to imagine you're lying in a hospital bed.
You have cancer, skin cancer spreading like weeds in a
government funded garden. And the doctor comes in and he says, hey, buddy,
(29:21):
it's not looking good. You've got six months maybe, Like, well,
what can I do? He's like, well, there's a new
experimental drug called rp one. It's in very early tests.
It actually shrinks tumors for some people. When you mix
it with another medicine, people take it, the patients feel better.
(29:44):
The doctor says, this might work some real hope, not
the fake kind politicians sell. So to get this, we're
going to need to go to the FDA with the
test results and say please approve this in the FDA,
those genius safety experts who moves slower than a DMV
line on a free donut day send back a fancy
(30:05):
complete response letter. That's what it's called. And what that
means is your data sucks your study with sloppy go
away denied. Here's what's weird about that. I understand if
somebody's healthy and you don't want to give them an
experimental drug, but if they're dying. If somebody's dying, then
you think they should have their right to try it.
(30:25):
Back to counting tiles on the ceiling while cancer throws
a victory party in your body. This is exactly why
they passed the big Right to Try law back in
twenty eighteen. Do you remember who signed that bill? That's right,
Donald J. Trump. The JAY stands for genius. Everyone in
Washington liked it. At the time. Everyone was high fiving
(30:47):
like they just invented ice cream. Trump signed it. He smiled.
Tear jerker commercials everywhere, sad families begging please let my
loved one try the miracle drug. It sounded good. If
you're a terminal patient, you should get to try an
experimental drug. Even if the FDA hasn't fully blessed it yet.
(31:08):
You shouldn't have to die while bureaucrats play roulette with
your life. The problem is here in the real world,
the right to try law is not really working the
way it was intended. The law says you have a right,
but it doesn't make anybody actually give you the drug.
That's where this gets a little tricky. You have a
right to try the drug, but the company might not
(31:30):
want to give it to you, or they might not
feel like they can without getting into trouble. What about
your doctor? What about the hospital? Everybody just goes man,
I want to be responsible for that. Why is that?
Companies a look at the request and they'll think it's
a little expensive. Lawyers could sue us if something goes wrong,
one bad side effect in our billion dollar full approval,
(31:51):
dreams will die, So they slam the door on your
chance of living. Sorry, you'll just have to die. We
can't risk giving you a drug that could make you
die in a different way. Doctors and hospitals are scared
of getting sued. They're scared of angry insurance companies and
some know it all reviewer writing mean things about them
on the internet. Lord knows people write a lot of
(32:13):
mean things about me on the internet. So what's the result.
Since twenty eighteen, barely any patients have actually gotten these drugs.
The right to try law is just kind of a theory.
Usk well, right to try. Maybe someday we'll try the
right to try law. Guys, how many people have done this?
We're talking numbers so small you could fit them all
in one mini van with room for the driver's emotional
(32:36):
support hamster. Let me tell you a quick story. When
they passed the law, they rolled out this poor als
guy at a big ceremony, like a prop in a
Hallmark movie, cameras rolling politicians crying this law is for
people like him. It's very heartwarming stuff. Fast forward a
little bit. The guy tries using the right to try
(32:57):
law and the company says, Nah, a little too much
hassle for us. We wouldn't want to get sued. He died,
the law might as well have handed him a participation
trophy and a card that says better luck in your
next life. That is peak Washington comedy. A big noble
name on the bill, a giant press conference, then duck
(33:19):
dot dot dot dot dot dug nothing. It's like the
government gave a starving man a beautiful menu and told him, Hey,
order anything you want. The kitchen's closed, but order anything
you want. Here's the real stupid part. These patients aren't dummies.
They're bright people. They've already been through the chemo meat grinder,
the radiation barbecue. They've had all the nasty side effects.
(33:44):
They're out of options. There's nothing left they can order
on the menu. They know the new drug might not work,
it might even make them die faster. But if you're
already dying, you're probably thinking, Lady dead is already on
the table. I'd like at least a chance to roll
the dice. The FDA's attitude is that they just don't
(34:05):
want to take the risk. What if something bad heppens,
The paperwork would be awful. I'd be here all day
filling out forms. Oh my god, a TPS report for
oh the cover sheets, Oh my god, a cover sheet.
And the patient who's already dying says, it's what it's
worse than dying. Yes, sign me up. This is the
same government that can't balance a check book, can't stop
(34:28):
the border from looking like a revolving door, can't define
what a woman is, but sure, let them decide exactly
how much risk you're allowed to take with your own life.
Their official model might as well be better dead than
we have to fill out extra forms. So let's go
back to that drug I was talking about, RP one.
(34:50):
It's a skin cancer drug. The FDA just kicked it
to the curb. That's the exact situation the right to
Try law was supposed to fix, but it didn't. It's
still blocked, still waiting, still dying. Great job, team, Is
there a smarter way? What's the smarter way? The smarter
way would be to stop letting one giant FDA office
(35:12):
sit on the throne like a grumpy king. Let independent
smart groups, private labs, university doctors, whatever, look at the
data and write simple reports in plain English. Hmm, this
drug helped about thirty five percent of people. Might make
your hair fall out faster than cheap shampoo. Your call
(35:32):
champ sign here, You and your doctor get to decide.
You sign a form that says I won't sue. The
company could still say no, it's their drug, But at
least the door isn't nailed shut by some lifetime bureaucrat
in Washington who's never met a patient he couldn't outlive.
I'm not saying turn sick people into mad scientist s
(35:54):
guinea pigs. I'm not saying to inject random bathtub chemicals
into cancer patients. But when the choice is try this
maybe helpful thing, or die, the answer should be obvious.
The right to try laws started as a decent idea,
and it got turned into useless government slop. Lots of
(36:16):
talk zero results in the same old body count. So
the next time some politician stands up and says, hey,
we're giving patients hope, remind them in Washington, hope costs billions.
It comes with four hundred pages of roles, It arrives
(36:38):
the day after you needed it. Your life belongs to you.
It's not some paper pushing lifer in government who's never
lost sleepover your cancer scan. That's not crazy, that's common sense.
Pass the common sense quick before they regulate that too,
because at this rate, the only right you have is
(37:00):
the right to try filling out Form forty seven B,
while your obituary rights itself. I'm Kenny Webster. It's been
a pleasure being here with you this afternoon. Tomorrow night,
we're at the Houston improv. Please come join us. It's
gonna be a lot of fun to the rest of you.
I love you all. We'll be back bright early tomorrow
morning for more of what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. Tell
the government to kiss your ass when you listen to this.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Show, everybody. Kenny Webster here with a quick reminder, golden silver,
just take record highs now. Wall Street's saying, hey, it's
never been a better time to invest. Our national debt
is so big it needs its own zip code. The
dollar's been doing the limbo. Inflation's out here, shrinking our
(37:57):
savings like a cheap sweater in the dryer. One minute,
you've got retirement money. Next minute, it's not enough for
a happy meal in some loose change. But gold and
silver always a smart idea. In fact, if you call
Lear Capital, you could find out about how you could
qualify for twenty thousand dollars in bonus coins. No joke,
(38:18):
Pick up the phone, call your capital. Eight hundred three
six four nine two zero zero. That's eight hundred three
six four nine two zero zero. Rush Limbaugh famously endorsed
Lear Capital. I endorse them too. Find out why call
your capital at eight hundred three six four ninety two
zero zero
