Speaker 1 (00:00):
Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
happinges us on your radio to al just a cheeseburgers,
a living it fries, it's for foof.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
This is so embarrassing. It is so embarrassing. Airbnb is
renting out the Colisseum for Gladiator reenactments. Can't make it
to Rome, but still want to feel like Russell Crowe
eat a twinkie.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's what I say.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Hi, kiddos, you turned down your radio and now you're
listening to me talk for money, so that I mean
you're listening for free, of course, but I get paid
to do this, so that it's it's not that I
need to be paid to hang out with you while
you're stuck in traffic. It's just you know, they offered
me money. I took it. You know you don't blame
me for that. Right as usual, it's a Friday, so
we got my buddy Braindon Darby stopping by in a
few short minutes. Tim mathis professional stand up comedian from
(01:00):
Texas currently living in Hollywood. He's gonna tell us what
it's going on out there, and this is a so much.
Hollywood is in full meltdown right now because they cannot
stand that Trump just got elected, and even more so,
they worked really hard to stop Trump, and then they
had to realize, with you know, very bittersweet moment for
them that they don't matter anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I guess it was just bitter. It wasn't bittersweet, But say,
you know what I noticed.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I've noticed that everything awesome lately seems to be hurting
our enemies. There's so many good things happening in US,
so many bad things happening to them. I'll give you
an example. Breidbart dot Com today says ABC News is
in panic mode. They want to hire a Trump supporter
for The View and other ABC News programming. Now, for
a long time, the View has had a conservative on
(01:48):
their panel, and usually like Elizabeth hasselback back in the day,
Megan McCain. I don't know what the current chick's name
is to you, but it's always somebody that's a Republican,
but she's a Republican butt. You're probably wondering what do
I mean by that? Well, a republican butt implies I'm
a Republican, but I'm a Republican butt Donald Trump does
(02:10):
not represent my values. I'm a Republican, but I'm okay
with abortion. I'm a Republican, but I don't support gun rights.
I'm a Republican, but you get the idea. They're those people, right,
So they need a Republican who actually supports Trump on
the View, and this will never happen. I mean, I
don't think so. The New York Post has been told
that ABC News brass are in panic mode as they
(02:33):
hunt for conservative voices to balance the rabbit anti Trump
rhetoric spewed by the hosts on the View as well
as those on other shows Hmmm. After last week's route
by the former president, they say ABC News executives had
intense sit downs with executive producers of the network's various
shows and other senior editorial staff. First on the agenda
(02:56):
is finding a pro Trump panelist for The View, which
is currently staffed withtist like Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Bear, Sunny Houston,
and Sarah Haynes and Trump bashers Anna Navarro and Elisa
Farah Griffin. I think she's the current quote unquote conservative.
How exactly would this work? It's not just that the
View hens are all backing Kamala. It's that they see
(03:18):
Trump and anyone who supports him as nazis the personification
of evil, something that's barely human. The views in tolerant
Harpies were unable to share the stage with a Rhino
like Megan McCain, even though she was out numbered five
to one, sometimes six to one. How are they going
to have a Trumper on the panel knowing that? Do
(03:40):
you think the hateful and ever expanding Whoopi Goldberg would
tolerate a full blown Trump supporter. You think joyless Bear
will treat someone whom she sees as a Nazi with
any kind of respect? How much exactly does that job pay?
Because you know it's going to be abusive? ABC is
owned by Disney, They have another problem. The view long
go alienated and lost viewers anywhere to the right of
(04:04):
Chay Guavera. The audience is now made up only of
far leftists who do not want to hear an opinion
that does not comfort and affirm their Marxist beliefs. So
the moment you bring on an articulate and prepared Trump supporter,
you alienate your audience, You alienate your hosts. The whole
thing falls apart. The bottom line is it's not just
(04:26):
too late for ABC News of the View to represent
a majority of the country anymore. It's most of the media,
The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, PMSNBC. Once
you bent the need of the wo Gestapo, once you've
gone full Karl Marx, once you've purged your staff in
pursuit of ideological purity, there's no going back. The left
(04:50):
wing staff and the audience. Now wag your dog. What
do you do now? How do you get You're not
It's not as if Trump supporters are going to want
to watch again. But and Disney just realized something. Trump
didn't just win the election. It was a landslide victory.
He got the popular vote, he got the a majority
of electoral college. Most of America sees the View as
(05:15):
the enemy. How do you convince somebody that has been alienated, vilified, ostracized,
treated like Hitler to come join the team and see
if you can resurrect our dying brand.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You don't, I'm listening to Pursuit of.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine Houston.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
According to this, An Indiana man was found dead in
a tanning bed at Planet Fitness three days after entering
the gym. Unfortunately, it took a while to find his
body because the odor of it was masked by all
the other foul oders. Probably smell did a Planet Fitness.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Sounds like some Texas justice to me Lockett and now
live from the Border.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's Bright Bart's Brandon Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only
on KPRC Radio.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Maybe maybe the most predictable thing ever here in the
aftermath of the Trump presidency and his appointment of cabinet members,
one of the guys who I thought was one of
the most unusual but maybe one of the least controversial,
Fox and Friends' weekend morning host Pete Hegsith, will now
be tasked to be the He's been tapped to be
(06:35):
the Secretary of Defense, one of the top guys at
the Pentagon, which is unusual because he's not part of
the you know, the military industrial complex or any He's
certainly not like a Haliburton CEO or anything like that.
An unusual choice, but interestingly enough, you go over here
to the Guardian today, Oh look at this lo and
behold Pete Hegseth twenty seventeen sexual assault investigation.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
What they're gonna be Att Kavanaugh? This guy? Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm supposed to believe Pete Hegseth, a public figure, a
guy everybody knows, very friendly, and you know it doesn't
seem to be a controversial guy at all, is apparently
a rapist? Now, Brandon Darby, is this predictable or I'm
I'm surprised, but yet I'm not surprised.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Well, I think, first off, I think anytime anyone gets
put into a position like that, are nominated for a
position like that, I think that people are going to
start digging, right like their opponents are going to start
digging and what have you. So I don't know, but
I will tell you that that you know, without knowing
the details of it, someone being accused of that at
(07:42):
this point does I would have to I would have
to see a lot of details before I held out
again somebody, because we're at a day and age where
anyone can say anything. And you know, some of the
public figures that we've seen accused of solf, some of
them obviously were really bad and did bad things, but
(08:03):
some of them they say there's five accusers of sexual misconduct,
and it's like they were accused of flirting with someone
or and it's like, wait a minute, man, you're using
the same terminology for flirting with someone that used for
actual rape. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right? Exactly, we're at a day and age.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
You know, I kind of parked the way that media
portrayed things. You know, Costco had eighty thousand pounds of
butter recalled, and the headlines were eighty thousand pounds of
Costco butter recalls. Protect yourself and know what's safe, and
there's like hundreds of headlines I'm not joking about the
(08:43):
Costco butter recall. And then when you read the details,
it was that the butter packages didn't say contains milk
on the butter package. That is literally why they recalled.
And so the media headlines made it sound like it
was some kind of poison and that was going to
cause your testicles to drop off or something, you know,
(09:03):
or you're ovaries to fall out, and then you get
into the details. So I'd have to know a lot
more details before I even cared about that headline about
Pete about him, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, I tend to agree with you. It seems very miss.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I can't imagine that Pete hag Saith is a sex predator,
but okay, that's what they claim. And while we're on
the topic here, look, I always wanted Trump to win
three presidential elections.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
In a row.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But I will tell you this time around, I think
his cabinet picks Brandon are so much better. I like
Matt Gates so much more than I liked Jeff Sessions RFK,
Junior in charge of Health and Human Services. Unbelievable, tells
Tulsea Gabbert, Director of National Intelligence.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Unbelievable. Like where to start with this one?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I guess for you to Tom Homan, borders are what
do you think about that one?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Well, Tom Hilden's an interesting case because you know, I
wrote about Tom Homan. I wrote a very skating piece
about him years ago because I found all of these
videos of things that he was saying when he was
an appointed under Obama. Not for the same position, but
he was a big dog in DHS under Obama, and
(10:17):
I didn't like him. I thought he was a liberal,
and I thought he was because of things that came
out of his own mouth. Right, But then when I
had a chance to actually talk to him. He was like, look,
I worked for this administration and my job was to
do the will of It's not what I personally prefer
(10:37):
but my job was to serve in this capacity under
this president and the way this president, and to enforce
this president's agenda. He said, but that's not how I
personally feel. And then as time went on and you
got to see how Tom Hogan personally felt and what
he would do on his own volition without having to
serve under a liberal president, it turned out even pretty
(11:00):
good border hawks. So I apologize to him, and I said, well,
I judge you based on your own words, but your
words and your actions under this administration, and obviously that
wasn't totally fair. He accepted that apology, and it turns
out he's a pretty good border hak. So I think
when it comes to the border, people can say I'm cruel,
and they can say them whatever I'm not. And I
(11:21):
can tell you that having a policy that in policies
that encourage people to come to our border through the
arms of Mexican cartels right and to show up as
they do, is cruel and brutal, And in you made
having policies that force people to come to our border
(11:42):
in a regular, legitimate way, two ports of entry. That
is not cruel. Right, So I do not think Tom
Holman is cruel. I think he's a great pick, and
I think he'll do a great job. But you know, this,
this stuff with Chump's appointees, it kind of goes back,
kind of back to like what's happening in the Texas
where Shelley Luther, you know the salon owner who was
(12:05):
who was a.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Salon Lmo Dallas for Worth. Yeah, she's a lawmakers on
the show.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Many times she was.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Jails for violating COVID restrictions and now she's an elected
official in the state of Texas. This to me is
just kind of like chickens coming home to roost. I mean,
you know, I'm not anti vaccine. I took the I
would only do the j in j vaccine, but I
did take it. But the fact that they were forcing
(12:35):
people to the fact that any dissension gotten you kicked
off of the out of the public square on social
the social media giants. The fact that trying to go
about your life. I mean, you know, man, my mother,
you know, God, God, God bless her. But my mother
died during the peak of COVID. We didn't even like
(12:56):
we barely got to be in there with her while
she was life support because of COVID restrictions. And then
we didn't get to have a funeral for my mother
right until a year after she died because of COVID.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Right.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
And then two weeks after my mother died, the Black
Lives Matter protests started happening, and public health officials said, well,
racism is a bigger public health threat than COVID, So
it's okay that thousands of people are gathering together in
the streets to protest the police. I thought to myself,
(13:31):
you jerk, she made me miss time with my dying mother.
And so the fact that the chickens are coming home
to roosts for a lot of these bureaucrats and government
who made these decisions, whether we're talking about Shelley Luther
in Texas now having power, or whether we're talking about
(13:53):
some of the people that are being appointed by Trump,
I think it is absolutely wonderful. Yeah, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
that this is happening. But go back to j six
right in January sixth, and do I think that those
people who acted like fools and hit cops and broke windows,
and I think everyone about to be in trouble. However,
(14:15):
I think the vast majority of people who were there
were not those people act in that way, and the
fact that so many of them had their lives run
over this, I think is an absolute travesty. So we
can talk about that. We can talk about the fact
that the CIA reaked all types of information about Trump
to try to enforce their will against the elected leader,
(14:38):
that the people elected who should oversee this CIA like,
I think it's absolutely wonderful that a number of these
people now Matt Gates. I don't know that that's the
best solutions for attorney general, to be honest, I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Can I throw two or three pieces of things that
you that could potentially change your mind. He's a libertarian
populist who's a fierce opponent of the drug war.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I don't think a lot of people know that about him.
He's against the drug war.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
As you know, he unseated Kevin McCarthy, which is the
whole reason why John Cordyon and all these other swamp
creatures don't like him. And he's a great disruptor. I mean,
don't you think this is a time when we need
people like that?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Brandon, I think we need people like that. I'm not
so sure we do as Attorney General. But I'm not.
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I'm also not protesting it, right, I'm not. I don't
feel that convinced that I'm going to go make an
issue out of it. I just I'm not sure that's
the best pick.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Who would you pick?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
But I do think that I don't know who I would.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Pick Attorney General Kenny Webster.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
No, I don't know, but I think I think the
fact that it's kind of like like with the Defense
Secretary nomination, I think I think it is great that
someone who has been the war and someone who.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Is not gonna go to be on the board of
race on.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
I think it is great that that that that the
average people with the with you know, good brains and
and and good track records of having a brain are
put in the positions of leadership. I think it is
absolutely wonderful. And I think it is is wonderful absolutely
so so so I am It's it's like I said
(16:23):
with Shelley Luther, the chickens come home to Roos. You
abuse your power, and now you're going to have to
answer to two people who are are are more like
me instead of people who are you know, board members
of of of of military Industrial complex contractor. I'm perfectly
great with that. I don't like foreign wars. Uh there
(16:45):
are exceptions for that, obviously, but I want money stint
at home. We have veterans, them needs, we have homeless people,
people with mental health issues, we have uh, people with
special needs. When it comes to education, we could do
more for. And I think that if we stop paying
for hundreds of thousands of students who show up a year,
(17:07):
who are non English speaking, who showed up and regularly
at the border, and we stopped funding a bunch of
wars all around the world and let let our allies
do pay their share instead of us footing our tax
payer foot the bill, I think that is absolutely wonderful
and I'm very happy about it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
My brother.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
The first to me just means community, our community first,
which is exactly you know, that's how it works. Your yourself,
your family, your your neighborhood, your city, your county, your state,
you know, then your country then the rest of the world.
Right but our but our countries should come first. It's
it's our money.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Aim into that, brother, Brandon Darby, Senior editor at Breitbart
Bredbarte Taxes.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Check out his work right now and follow him on access.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
This is Johnny Cash doing a cover at Depeche Mode
Personal Jesus. Rick Rubin produced it some one of the
most brilliant albums ever recorded. Johnny Cash doing alternative rock covers.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
It's amazing, Personal Jesus. There's a lot happening in Houston
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
There's actually a depeche Mode tribute band tomorrow night with
the Ringwalds, The Molly Ringwalds is a lot of you know,
at seven to one to three music Hall. I might
head over there and then the White Oaks Music Hall
tomorrow night, King Lizard and the Lizard Gizzard. I think
I'm gonna go see a lot of live music this weekend.
There's a lot of cool stuff happening around the city.
If you happen to run into me and you want
(18:39):
to buy me a beer, I will let you do that.
I'm a very generous person. That's what I do. Houston
is just a hotbed of excitement right now. I don't
know if you guys noticed. I was just driving out
on I forty five a minute ago. Real exciting out
there between the bullets flying past my head from MS
thirteen going to war with Trende or Ragua.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Somebody ought to to port them.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think that could happen pretty soon now that we
got Christy Nome and Thomas Homan in charge of that.
I do wonder if dogs will be safe with Christy
Nome in charge of the Department of Homeland Security. But
she's beautiful, so I forgive her. Oh that being said,
there is quite a bit taking place in Houston right now.
In fact, my buddy Michael Quinn Sullivan a regular guest control,
I would say he's not a guest.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
He's a contributor to this show.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
He's here frequently enough, I would say he is part
of the Pursuit of Happiness radio crew, regular voice heard
on both KPRC and the news reports on our sister station, KATRHS.
He often delivers late breaking news to us from Austin, Texas.
Michael is actually in Houston right now, so I just
called him up and wouldn't you know it? He picked
up the phone. Michael, I guess you're hanging out with
(19:43):
our buddy Mattress Mac today.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Is that what just happened?
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I'll tell you what, the absolute coolest thing, you know,
my entire week, my entire month, maybe even the year,
was getting to hang out for a few minutes with
Mattress Mac.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
What a fellow.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Who defines in many ways what it means to be
the best kind of hustone. You know, I think for
a lot of us Sullivan Houston, when we think of Houston,
we have very negative images of you know, Trendy Ogua,
Lena Hildalgo and you know, those those creeps. But yet
Mattress mag is actually the kind of guy that we
should be thinking of when we think of Houston.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
He's just a just a wonderful fell up.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Mattress Mac is interesting because, look, I've known the guy
for years. He was never real political. I mean, in fact,
in years past he would kind of quietly endorse a
local Democrat, nobody would notice. I think he endorsed Sylvester
Turner once many years ago, because you know, as much
as I didn't like Sylvester Turner, I guess he was
very pro supportive of local businesses, they claim, and that's
(20:48):
neither here nor there. People never had an issue with
Mattress Mac tipping his toe into the political world until
he went all in on the GOP over the last
couple of years, supporting Alex Mieler, supporting all the female
Republican judicial candidates that just took over the the Appeals Court,
which is great, and of course supporting Donald Trump among
(21:10):
other people. And so that's what you guys are doing
today talking about the election.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Well, actually we're talking to hibout. We were presenting him
with the Conservative Leader Award. This an award gifts about
a dozen people every year, men and women who kind
of in their communities kind of embodied that sense of
being a citizen leader. And so I had to ask
him about his political stuff, and which when you're talking
(21:35):
about about the politics, he has a sense of fella
who's kind of amused by the fact that he's just
kind of always been Mattress Mack. He he loves and
cares about Houston. He you know, he cares about his neighbors,
and he just wants to he wants to make money
and wants them to make all them happy, you know
kind of thing. And and and it's funny that you
get this and he's one of those kind of the
(21:56):
living embodiments of it, be kind of a normal person
you can walk up and meet who he's been, who
he's always been.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
But the parties have, and particularly the Democratic Party has
radically shifted.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
And uh, you know, and what what what what Mac
told me was, you know, he said, I feel like
I've always been the same guy and which wants to
save you money, right and yet and yet the parties
have shifted, and and he just wants to do what's
best for Houston. And I think that's why so many
folks told us he's someone who has to get get
this award and and then sitting aside his politics, just
(22:31):
a guy who kind of you know, leads with his
love for Houston. It's fun to meet people like that,
you know, Kenny. We're told that we're not supposed to
show our civic pride wherever we happen to live. We're
supposed to be, you know, condescending towards those who do,
and kind of the the aloofness we're sop to have,
you know, you know, Mattress back where's Houston literally on
(22:54):
his sleeve every day.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
It's kind of cool to meet people like that.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, and he was publicly attacked by Lena had Dawgo.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Let me let me, let me change that statement a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
A guy that has spent his life creating jobs in
a city called Houston, Texas, where he takes a substantial
portion of his profits and sends military veterans to go
to baseball games and takes disabled people on vacation, and
there's no shortage of the charity that he does, but
apparently didn't support the right presidential candidates and or political
(23:24):
candidates in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four, was
referred to as some mattress salesman by Lena Hidalgo.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Well, whether or not he meant to ingest, and whether
or not he meant for it to be public, I'm
glad that he's removed it.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Oh, I'm sorry, this is the wrong sound bite.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
That's Lena Hidalgo getting mad that Mayor Whitmeyer made fun
of her nerdy boyfriend on Facebook.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I thought that was a different SoundBite. But it's still funny,
isn't it.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, look, I mean the this kind of goes to.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
One of the questions I asked him was, you know,
you know, for a lot of people, they think they've
got to keep their nose down, they've got to you know,
just kind of do their business, sinking of their family
and shut up. And his adject is, no, I'm I'm
supposed to if i'm if I'm doing good, I'm supposed
to help other people do good.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And that means being involved in the community.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
And so, you know, when when you hear hear people
like Lenna Hildalgo kind of speak dismissively of Mattress Mac,
you remember, he's made hundreds, maybe thousands of jobs there
in Houston by being just a mattress salesman. Whereas Lena,
you know, what, what has she done right? But besides
(24:37):
besides employing pharmaceutical reps to go procure her, you know,
various drugs, what has she actually accomplished in this world
besides make Harris County a laughing stock in the country
and even among Democrats.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, Mattress Mac just wants to do good. While doing good.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
I think we need more Mattress Macks than a lot
fewer Lena Hildalgos.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I love that mattress Mack and Sylvester Stillone might not
seem like they have a lot in common, but both
of them a huge success, legendary, iconic people from their industry,
both of them late breaking Trump supporters and Republicans are
very awesome for them. I'll tell you what, while I
have you on the line, I'd love to ask you
about this. Somebody I'm not a fan of right now
or really ever have been. John Cornyn at the beginning
(25:22):
of the week said the senior Senator from Texas, if
we make him Senate majority leader, he'll do everything he
can to confirm Trump's appointment appointments, his cabinet picks. And
then the position goes to John Thune. Not my favorite
person either, but certainly not as bad as Cornyn. And
suddenly Cornyn's trying to stop Matt Gates, who previously ousted
(25:43):
Kevin McCarthy from becoming Attorney general. Now maybe people don't
care for Matt Gates.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Matt describes himself as a libertarian populist. That's me, Michael,
I'm a libertarian. I like Matt Gates. I agree with him.
I think getting rid of the swamp creatures is great.
I think it's time to get rid of Cornyn. Look,
John Cornyan wants to play up both ways. You know,
no one put a gun to John Cornyn's head to
make him say.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Earlier in the week, I'm gonna.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Do everything to get Donald Trump's nominees, you know know,
across the finish liner and every rewarded.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
He was crystal clear. He was that clear. He doesn't
get to be a majority leader.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Now he's towing the Democratic line, which John Cornyan tends
to do as a Republican, towe the Democrat line in
raising questions about getting Trump's nominees across the line. And
I've had a number of folks who said, oh, but Michael,
you got to understand the nu wants and the caveats
that are all and that when they say these things,
(26:44):
they know there's all sorts of asterisks and footnotes. And
I'm sick and tired of that, can you I'm sick
and tired as a as a human being, as an American,
as a Texan of having to, you know, pull out
my secret decoder ring for politicians that when they say
one thing, I'm supposed to understand they mean something else.
Not anymore, we need to hold these guys accountable for
(27:05):
what they say. Don't you know, you know they count
on you apologizing for them. They count on me reinterpreting
whatever they say.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
None of that.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Let these guys let their yes be yes and there
no be no. And John Cornyn, we we as Texans,
should take our responsibility for the problem that is John Cornyn,
because we all sit there and we mumble ourselves, Oh, well,
you know, John Cornyn, he just that's just John Cornyan.
You know he's got to you gotta keep really liking
because he's John Cornan.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
No.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
I think that's where all of us have to start saying,
John Cornyn, you're fired.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yet out of here amen to that.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
People keep saying, well, you know, we need Cornyn because
he's safe and easy to elect. Hello, Ted Cruz, one
of the most conservative people in the government just won
by almost nine points.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
We don't have to do this anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm sick and tired of Would you say, is Cornyn
the worst Republican in the state of Is he the worst?
I mean Crenshaw, sure, but Cordin feels like he's a
bigger threat to liberty.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
So certainly at the federal level, I cannot think of
anyone at the federal level from Texas who is doing
more to damage the Republican brand, doing more to damage
the cause of liberty than John Cornyan. John Cornyan should
retire and go, you know, count to his Ukrainian dollars
or whatever is he's going to do when he retires.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
The people of Texas deserve something better. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
He's got a severance package, but it's all Ukrainian money.
Michael quinn Sullivan my brother from another man. I'm glad
you were in Houston today. I'm sorry we didn't get
to meet up in person, but you guys do awesome work.
I love Texas scorecard dot com. It is so important
to have a news outlet like that one out there
actually spreading truth and when people in our own party
(28:51):
are spreading lies. Michael quinn Sullivan follow him on x.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
According to a new report, exaggerated statements are up by
like a billion and now more of the highest rated
show on radio, Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Bad news for the gays.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Gays, you almost got to see Dan Denzel kiss a dude.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I mean you almost got to see it.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Denzel Washington says he had a same sex kiss scene
in Gladiator two, but it got cut. Now Lindsey Graham
has lost the smile he's had since the election.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
How sad, Ladies, You're Me?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Is just a spoiled, peppered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
Or what.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
A gay kiss was cut from Gladiator Too? Sounds like
we're forgetting who's the core audience for Gladiator movies.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Tim mathis stand up.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Comedian and Hollywood news reporter for Pursuit of Happiness Radio?
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Is it?
Speaker 8 (29:53):
You?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
And I were talking off.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
The air a little bit about this is Hollywood taking
a gay kissing scene out of Gladiator Too. We weren't
actually talking about that, but we were talking about has
Hollywood learned anything from the election? And I wonder if
this news story is proof that they have? Or am
I just imagine maybe it was just not a good scene.
I don't know, what do you think?
Speaker 10 (30:12):
Can we just be happy they didn't make it a
musical at this point, I mean, after what they did
to the Joker. Yeah, but no, Hollywood is doing what
they've always done. They're they're out right now saying that
they've you know, the country has spoken, and we might
want to adjust our narratives and you know, get with
(30:35):
the rest of the country. But it's it's all forcewa washed.
It's hogwash, forcewash. That's not a thing.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
No, No, I think we understood that, we understood what
you men. You can horsewash around here.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Yeah, it's all it's all bs. They might, you know,
tack to the center for a couple of months, but
it'll be right back to you know, half the country
is evil and you guys are all hitler within you know,
a year. By the by the end of the year,
(31:06):
they'll be right back to saying the same stuff that
they've been saying for the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Well here's something else I just noticed. And you and
I also didn't talk about this off the air, but
on the topic we're on right now. Saturday Night Live
viewership cratered during the twenty twenty four election cycle. Now,
I'm I'm a little surprised to hear that. I actually
thought that Saturday Night Live has been funnier this season,
and not surprisingly, they've been making fun of Kamala. Is
(31:32):
that why the ratings are down?
Speaker 10 (31:36):
I think the ratings are down, just I disagree with
you on the amount of funny Saturday Night. I don't
think Saturday Night Night Live has been funny and six
or seven years, I.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Mean, oh no, no, great, I mean gets here or
there compared.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
To previous seasons, like opening every episode with Alec Baldwin
impersonating Trump for four years. That was very unfunny. Maya
Rudolphe Kamala was actually funny to me.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
It was she did a good job with Maya Rudolph
as commonal. But I don't see them continuing that because
Kamala is irrelevant now. I mean, they're not gonna, believe me,
they are not going to kick her wa washing down
because that would cancel Saturday Night Live. But yeah, maybe
that maybe they'll stop with the constant Trump bashing now that.
(32:26):
I mean, they've got four years and it was a massive,
uh not necessarily a landslide, but just a dominant win
by Trump. So I don't see how they can think
that they're just going to keep doing that.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah, okay, well, you know, I get your point there.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
While we're on the topic, I wonder if Sylvester Stallone
wants to retire soon.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Here he is last night at Marlago.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Remember the first image was a picture of Jesus as
a resurrection ac club. I found a church that had
been converted to a boxing ring. So these pans down
from Jesus onto Rocky being hit, And at that moment
he was a chosen person.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
And that's how I began the journey.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Something was going to happen. This man was going to
go through a metamorphosis and change lives, just like President Trump.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Wow, we are in the presidence of a really mythical character.
I love mythology, and this individual does not exist on
this planet.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Nobody in the.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
World could have pulled off when he pulled off.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
So I'm in.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
Awe and I'll just say this and I mean it.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea
that he was going to change the world, because without him,
you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess
what we got the second George Washington.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Wow, Stallone didn't just compliment Trump, he didn't just say
he liked him. Timm he compares him to George Washington.
I mean, look, I like the New Tulsa King. I
think it's a good show. I've always loved Rambo and Rocky.
I grew up with that stuff. What do you make
of this? I mean this is Look, some people are
criticizing him for not supporting Trump before the election. Whatever,
(34:25):
better late than ever, I say, Stallone is welcome at
the Mega party.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Uh yeah, I mean obviously he wouldn't be doing it
if he was an up and coming No, you know,
he's got he's got the kind of resume where he
doesn't have to kiss anybody's butt anymore. Any any project
that Sylvester Stallone wants to do, he can get done.
He's got a hit show right now, like you said. Uh,
and yeah, it would have been better for the Trump
(34:52):
campaign and for the movement and everything if he would
have But you know, if that would have been the case,
it would have been a whole story about you know,
Sylvester Stallone is now Hitler and all this crap. Notice
all the Hitler rhetoric has really died down ever since
the election happened and Joe Biden shook his hand. You know,
(35:13):
you don't shake Hitler's hands, Can I point that out?
So all that was of course BS, and they knew
it was BS when they were saying it. So yeah,
I mean it's it's crazy and the reason why he
didn't come out is because you can't come out. Hollywood
doesn't want conservative celebrity. That's one reason why they hate
(35:36):
Joe Rogan so much. Because Joe Rogan is a creation
of Hollywood. Not that he's not talented, not that he's
you know, not a funny guy and and isn't talented,
but Hollywood magnified him. Hollywood blew him up. His first
big break was news radio, and he had fear factor
and all that other stuff, and they don't want any
(35:56):
more of that. Once Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stalloone Go Away,
they were hoping they would be done with any conservative
people in Hollywood. Look what they did to Dina Carano.
And she didn't come out and do anything that was
overtly anti gay or that anti trans that's what they
tried to make it.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Wars actress, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (36:15):
Exactly, I mean, and all she did was was just say, hey,
don't demonize your neighbors because they may not believe everything
that you believe. And she was fired and almost immediately
had a whole show that was centered around her character
in the production. So uh, And that was with John Favreau,
who is a huge producer out here. So the fact
(36:36):
that one of his productions could get get canceled off
of social media stuff that was fairly innocuous, just because
it stepped out of the party line for half an
inch is terrifying to people out here. And it's because
it's because they don't want to create another Joe Rogan.
It's the reason why Mark Wahlberg moved his production company
(36:58):
to Nevada. It's the reason and win Dennis Quaid opened
his production company in Texas, called Me Dennis. It's also
Mark Walber, right, yeah, exactly. It's It's why Hollywood is dying.
It's why people are trying to film in other locations.
Street pols don't want to deal with all the all
(37:18):
the BF that comes with working in this bubble, all right.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Rachel Zegler is the star at Disney's new snow White.
She is wished wishing harm on Trump supporters. She says
she wishes Trump supporters never know any piece. This woman
has put her foot in her mouth many times. She
actually said snow White itself is a disgusting, weird, creepy
story and you shouldn't like it, and that they're going
to fix the thing.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
And then, of course, since then, they've had to.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Change the movie and rear recast the midgets or the
dwarfs or whatever they decided on. And here's Rachel Zeglin
like she can't work at Disney anymore. This is how
much damage has she done to the brand. The movie
hasn't even come out yet, it comes out March. Is
anyone gonna go see Disney Snow White?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I doubt it.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
I mean, I'm.
Speaker 10 (38:05):
Sure some people are just thinking that it's you know,
looking at the name snow why you go. But there's
gonna be a lot of people that skip that film.
And it's already been in production hell for the longest
time because, like you said, they had to make changes
and they didn't. Peter Dinklage came out and said he
was the only dwarf that could work in Hollywood and
(38:27):
ruin the movie for him in that manner. But yeah,
Zegler just keeps putting her foot in her mouth, and
it is fascinating to watch somebody she allegedly has already
come out and issued on apology. But I mean, the
internet is forever. People don't forget stuff like that. And
if you tell half the country or in this case,
(38:50):
because of the popular vote more than half the country
that they are horrible people and that you wish them
harm and that you hope that they never see any peace. Well,
they're not going to buy your products, especially when you're
literally a nobody. Nobody knows who Rachel Zegler is. Maybe
girls under the age of twenty, I don't know. But
(39:12):
she's not Tom Cruise, she's not even Nicole Kidman, She's
you know, she's nobody. Nobody has heard about Rachel Zegler
other than mostly the controversy around Rachel Zegler telling people
that they are awful people and it's it's not the
way to endear yourself to an audience, right.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yeah, it's pretty wild that Rachel Zegler is still doing this.
But because I feel like you and I have had
this conversation before. I feel like you and I have
done this radio segment before. This movie that Disney's going
to produce about snow White has a star actress who's
really alienating a large chunk of the country.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Pause for reaction, Repeat news story.
Speaker 10 (39:53):
You and I have been doing us for months, we have,
and you know what, and you saying that I'm waiting
for Rachel Zigler to drop a disc track like a
man with Stenberg kid.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
How embarrassing was that the girl from Acolyte the Star
warst She made a rap song about how she didn't
like Trump supporters because we didn't like her new Star
Wars show. Hey, we're about to run out of time

We'll see you here bright and early Monday morning for
more of what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 9 (41:12):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. Tell
the government to kiss your ass when you listen to
this show.
Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
happinges us on your radio to al just a cheeseburgers,
a living it fries, it's for foof.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
This is so embarrassing. It is so embarrassing. Airbnb is
renting out the Colisseum for Gladiator reenactments. Can't make it
to Rome, but still want to feel like Russell Crowe
eat a twinkie.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's what I say.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Hi, kiddos, you turned down your radio and now you're
listening to me talk for money, so that I mean
you're listening for free, of course, but I get paid
to do this, so that it's it's not that I
need to be paid to hang out with you while
you're stuck in traffic. It's just you know, they offered
me money. I took it. You know you don't blame
me for that. Right as usual, it's a Friday, so
we got my buddy Braindon Darby stopping by in a
few short minutes. Tim mathis professional stand up comedian from
(01:00):
Texas currently living in Hollywood. He's gonna tell us what
it's going on out there, and this is a so much.
Hollywood is in full meltdown right now because they cannot
stand that Trump just got elected, and even more so,
they worked really hard to stop Trump, and then they
had to realize, with you know, very bittersweet moment for
them that they don't matter anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I guess it was just bitter. It wasn't bittersweet, But say,
you know what I noticed.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I've noticed that everything awesome lately seems to be hurting
our enemies. There's so many good things happening in US,
so many bad things happening to them. I'll give you
an example. Breidbart dot Com today says ABC News is
in panic mode. They want to hire a Trump supporter
for The View and other ABC News programming. Now, for
a long time, the View has had a conservative on
(01:48):
their panel, and usually like Elizabeth hasselback back in the day,
Megan McCain. I don't know what the current chick's name
is to you, but it's always somebody that's a Republican,
but she's a Republican butt. You're probably wondering what do
I mean by that? Well, a republican butt implies I'm
a Republican, but I'm a Republican butt Donald Trump does
(02:10):
not represent my values. I'm a Republican, but I'm okay
with abortion. I'm a Republican, but I don't support gun rights.
I'm a Republican, but you get the idea. They're those people, right,
So they need a Republican who actually supports Trump on
the View, and this will never happen. I mean, I
don't think so. The New York Post has been told
that ABC News brass are in panic mode as they
(02:33):
hunt for conservative voices to balance the rabbit anti Trump
rhetoric spewed by the hosts on the View as well
as those on other shows Hmmm. After last week's route
by the former president, they say ABC News executives had
intense sit downs with executive producers of the network's various
shows and other senior editorial staff. First on the agenda
(02:56):
is finding a pro Trump panelist for The View, which
is currently staffed withtist like Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Bear, Sunny Houston,
and Sarah Haynes and Trump bashers Anna Navarro and Elisa
Farah Griffin. I think she's the current quote unquote conservative.
How exactly would this work? It's not just that the
View hens are all backing Kamala. It's that they see
(03:18):
Trump and anyone who supports him as nazis the personification
of evil, something that's barely human. The views in tolerant
Harpies were unable to share the stage with a Rhino
like Megan McCain, even though she was out numbered five
to one, sometimes six to one. How are they going
to have a Trumper on the panel knowing that? Do
(03:40):
you think the hateful and ever expanding Whoopi Goldberg would
tolerate a full blown Trump supporter. You think joyless Bear
will treat someone whom she sees as a Nazi with
any kind of respect? How much exactly does that job pay?
Because you know it's going to be abusive? ABC is
owned by Disney, They have another problem. The view long
go alienated and lost viewers anywhere to the right of
(04:04):
Chay Guavera. The audience is now made up only of
far leftists who do not want to hear an opinion
that does not comfort and affirm their Marxist beliefs. So
the moment you bring on an articulate and prepared Trump supporter,
you alienate your audience, You alienate your hosts. The whole
thing falls apart. The bottom line is it's not just
(04:26):
too late for ABC News of the View to represent
a majority of the country anymore. It's most of the media,
The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, PMSNBC. Once
you bent the need of the wo Gestapo, once you've
gone full Karl Marx, once you've purged your staff in
pursuit of ideological purity, there's no going back. The left
(04:50):
wing staff and the audience. Now wag your dog. What
do you do now? How do you get You're not
It's not as if Trump supporters are going to want
to watch again. But and Disney just realized something. Trump
didn't just win the election. It was a landslide victory.
He got the popular vote, he got the a majority
of electoral college. Most of America sees the View as
(05:15):
the enemy. How do you convince somebody that has been alienated, vilified, ostracized,
treated like Hitler to come join the team and see
if you can resurrect our dying brand.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You don't, I'm listening to Pursuit of.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine Houston.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
According to this, An Indiana man was found dead in
a tanning bed at Planet Fitness three days after entering
the gym. Unfortunately, it took a while to find his
body because the odor of it was masked by all
the other foul oders. Probably smell did a Planet Fitness.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Sounds like some Texas justice to me Lockett and now
live from the Border.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's Bright Bart's Brandon Darby with the Cartel Chronicles only
on KPRC Radio.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Maybe maybe the most predictable thing ever here in the
aftermath of the Trump presidency and his appointment of cabinet members,
one of the guys who I thought was one of
the most unusual but maybe one of the least controversial,
Fox and Friends' weekend morning host Pete Hegsith, will now
be tasked to be the He's been tapped to be
(06:35):
the Secretary of Defense, one of the top guys at
the Pentagon, which is unusual because he's not part of
the you know, the military industrial complex or any He's
certainly not like a Haliburton CEO or anything like that.
An unusual choice, but interestingly enough, you go over here
to the Guardian today, Oh look at this lo and
behold Pete Hegseth twenty seventeen sexual assault investigation.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
What they're gonna be Att Kavanaugh? This guy? Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm supposed to believe Pete Hegseth, a public figure, a
guy everybody knows, very friendly, and you know it doesn't
seem to be a controversial guy at all, is apparently
a rapist? Now, Brandon Darby, is this predictable or I'm
I'm surprised, but yet I'm not surprised.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Well, I think, first off, I think anytime anyone gets
put into a position like that, are nominated for a
position like that, I think that people are going to
start digging, right like their opponents are going to start
digging and what have you. So I don't know, but
I will tell you that that you know, without knowing
the details of it, someone being accused of that at
(07:42):
this point does I would have to I would have
to see a lot of details before I held out
again somebody, because we're at a day and age where
anyone can say anything. And you know, some of the
public figures that we've seen accused of solf, some of
them obviously were really bad and did bad things, but
(08:03):
some of them they say there's five accusers of sexual misconduct,
and it's like they were accused of flirting with someone
or and it's like, wait a minute, man, you're using
the same terminology for flirting with someone that used for
actual rape. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right? Exactly, we're at a day and age.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
You know, I kind of parked the way that media
portrayed things. You know, Costco had eighty thousand pounds of
butter recalled, and the headlines were eighty thousand pounds of
Costco butter recalls. Protect yourself and know what's safe, and
there's like hundreds of headlines I'm not joking about the
(08:43):
Costco butter recall. And then when you read the details,
it was that the butter packages didn't say contains milk
on the butter package. That is literally why they recalled.
And so the media headlines made it sound like it
was some kind of poison and that was going to
cause your testicles to drop off or something, you know,
(09:03):
or you're ovaries to fall out, and then you get
into the details. So I'd have to know a lot
more details before I even cared about that headline about
Pete about him, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, I tend to agree with you. It seems very miss.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I can't imagine that Pete hag Saith is a sex predator,
but okay, that's what they claim. And while we're on
the topic here, look, I always wanted Trump to win
three presidential elections.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
In a row.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But I will tell you this time around, I think
his cabinet picks Brandon are so much better. I like
Matt Gates so much more than I liked Jeff Sessions RFK,
Junior in charge of Health and Human Services. Unbelievable, tells
Tulsea Gabbert, Director of National Intelligence.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Unbelievable. Like where to start with this one?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I guess for you to Tom Homan, borders are what
do you think about that one?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Well, Tom Hilden's an interesting case because you know, I
wrote about Tom Homan. I wrote a very skating piece
about him years ago because I found all of these
videos of things that he was saying when he was
an appointed under Obama. Not for the same position, but
he was a big dog in DHS under Obama, and
(10:17):
I didn't like him. I thought he was a liberal,
and I thought he was because of things that came
out of his own mouth. Right, But then when I
had a chance to actually talk to him. He was like, look,
I worked for this administration and my job was to
do the will of It's not what I personally prefer
(10:37):
but my job was to serve in this capacity under
this president and the way this president, and to enforce
this president's agenda. He said, but that's not how I
personally feel. And then as time went on and you
got to see how Tom Hogan personally felt and what
he would do on his own volition without having to
serve under a liberal president, it turned out even pretty
(11:00):
good border hawks. So I apologize to him, and I said, well,
I judge you based on your own words, but your
words and your actions under this administration, and obviously that
wasn't totally fair. He accepted that apology, and it turns
out he's a pretty good border hak. So I think
when it comes to the border, people can say I'm cruel,
and they can say them whatever I'm not. And I
(11:21):
can tell you that having a policy that in policies
that encourage people to come to our border through the
arms of Mexican cartels right and to show up as
they do, is cruel and brutal, And in you made
having policies that force people to come to our border
(11:42):
in a regular, legitimate way, two ports of entry. That
is not cruel. Right, So I do not think Tom
Holman is cruel. I think he's a great pick, and
I think he'll do a great job. But you know, this,
this stuff with Chump's appointees, it kind of goes back,
kind of back to like what's happening in the Texas
where Shelley Luther, you know the salon owner who was
(12:05):
who was a.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Salon Lmo Dallas for Worth. Yeah, she's a lawmakers on
the show.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Many times she was.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Jails for violating COVID restrictions and now she's an elected
official in the state of Texas. This to me is
just kind of like chickens coming home to roost. I mean,
you know, I'm not anti vaccine. I took the I
would only do the j in j vaccine, but I
did take it. But the fact that they were forcing
(12:35):
people to the fact that any dissension gotten you kicked
off of the out of the public square on social
the social media giants. The fact that trying to go
about your life. I mean, you know, man, my mother,
you know, God, God, God bless her. But my mother
died during the peak of COVID. We didn't even like
(12:56):
we barely got to be in there with her while
she was life support because of COVID restrictions. And then
we didn't get to have a funeral for my mother
right until a year after she died because of COVID.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Right.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
And then two weeks after my mother died, the Black
Lives Matter protests started happening, and public health officials said, well,
racism is a bigger public health threat than COVID, So
it's okay that thousands of people are gathering together in
the streets to protest the police. I thought to myself,
(13:31):
you jerk, she made me miss time with my dying mother.
And so the fact that the chickens are coming home
to roosts for a lot of these bureaucrats and government
who made these decisions, whether we're talking about Shelley Luther
in Texas now having power, or whether we're talking about
(13:53):
some of the people that are being appointed by Trump,
I think it is absolutely wonderful. Yeah, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
that this is happening. But go back to j six
right in January sixth, and do I think that those
people who acted like fools and hit cops and broke windows,
and I think everyone about to be in trouble. However,
(14:15):
I think the vast majority of people who were there
were not those people act in that way, and the
fact that so many of them had their lives run
over this, I think is an absolute travesty. So we
can talk about that. We can talk about the fact
that the CIA reaked all types of information about Trump
to try to enforce their will against the elected leader,
(14:38):
that the people elected who should oversee this CIA like,
I think it's absolutely wonderful that a number of these
people now Matt Gates. I don't know that that's the
best solutions for attorney general, to be honest, I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Can I throw two or three pieces of things that
you that could potentially change your mind. He's a libertarian
populist who's a fierce opponent of the drug war.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I don't think a lot of people know that about him.
He's against the drug war.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
As you know, he unseated Kevin McCarthy, which is the
whole reason why John Cordyon and all these other swamp
creatures don't like him. And he's a great disruptor. I mean,
don't you think this is a time when we need
people like that?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Brandon, I think we need people like that. I'm not
so sure we do as Attorney General. But I'm not.
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I'm also not protesting it, right, I'm not. I don't
feel that convinced that I'm going to go make an
issue out of it. I just I'm not sure that's
the best pick.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Who would you pick?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
But I do think that I don't know who I would.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Pick Attorney General Kenny Webster.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
No, I don't know, but I think I think the
fact that it's kind of like like with the Defense
Secretary nomination, I think I think it is great that
someone who has been the war and someone who.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Is not gonna go to be on the board of
race on.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
I think it is great that that that that the
average people with the with you know, good brains and
and and good track records of having a brain are
put in the positions of leadership. I think it is
absolutely wonderful. And I think it is is wonderful absolutely
so so so I am It's it's like I said
(16:23):
with Shelley Luther, the chickens come home to Roos. You
abuse your power, and now you're going to have to
answer to two people who are are are more like
me instead of people who are you know, board members
of of of of military Industrial complex contractor. I'm perfectly
great with that. I don't like foreign wars. Uh there
(16:45):
are exceptions for that, obviously, but I want money stint
at home. We have veterans, them needs, we have homeless people,
people with mental health issues, we have uh, people with
special needs. When it comes to education, we could do
more for. And I think that if we stop paying
for hundreds of thousands of students who show up a year,
(17:07):
who are non English speaking, who showed up and regularly
at the border, and we stopped funding a bunch of
wars all around the world and let let our allies
do pay their share instead of us footing our tax
payer foot the bill, I think that is absolutely wonderful
and I'm very happy about it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
My brother.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
The first to me just means community, our community first,
which is exactly you know, that's how it works. Your yourself,
your family, your your neighborhood, your city, your county, your state,
you know, then your country then the rest of the world.
Right but our but our countries should come first. It's
it's our money.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Aim into that, brother, Brandon Darby, Senior editor at Breitbart
Bredbarte Taxes.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Check out his work right now and follow him on access.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
This is Johnny Cash doing a cover at Depeche Mode
Personal Jesus. Rick Rubin produced it some one of the
most brilliant albums ever recorded. Johnny Cash doing alternative rock covers.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
It's amazing, Personal Jesus. There's a lot happening in Houston
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
There's actually a depeche Mode tribute band tomorrow night with
the Ringwalds, The Molly Ringwalds is a lot of you know,
at seven to one to three music Hall. I might
head over there and then the White Oaks Music Hall
tomorrow night, King Lizard and the Lizard Gizzard. I think
I'm gonna go see a lot of live music this weekend.
There's a lot of cool stuff happening around the city.
If you happen to run into me and you want
(18:39):
to buy me a beer, I will let you do that.
I'm a very generous person. That's what I do. Houston
is just a hotbed of excitement right now. I don't
know if you guys noticed. I was just driving out
on I forty five a minute ago. Real exciting out
there between the bullets flying past my head from MS
thirteen going to war with Trende or Ragua.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Somebody ought to to port them.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think that could happen pretty soon now that we
got Christy Nome and Thomas Homan in charge of that.
I do wonder if dogs will be safe with Christy
Nome in charge of the Department of Homeland Security. But
she's beautiful, so I forgive her. Oh that being said,
there is quite a bit taking place in Houston right now.
In fact, my buddy Michael Quinn Sullivan a regular guest control,
I would say he's not a guest.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
He's a contributor to this show.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
He's here frequently enough, I would say he is part
of the Pursuit of Happiness radio crew, regular voice heard
on both KPRC and the news reports on our sister station, KATRHS.
He often delivers late breaking news to us from Austin, Texas.
Michael is actually in Houston right now, so I just
called him up and wouldn't you know it? He picked
up the phone. Michael, I guess you're hanging out with
(19:43):
our buddy Mattress Mac today.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Is that what just happened?
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I'll tell you what, the absolute coolest thing, you know,
my entire week, my entire month, maybe even the year,
was getting to hang out for a few minutes with
Mattress Mac.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
What a fellow.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Who defines in many ways what it means to be
the best kind of hustone. You know, I think for
a lot of us Sullivan Houston, when we think of Houston,
we have very negative images of you know, Trendy Ogua,
Lena Hildalgo and you know, those those creeps. But yet
Mattress mag is actually the kind of guy that we
should be thinking of when we think of Houston.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
He's just a just a wonderful fell up.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Mattress Mac is interesting because, look, I've known the guy
for years. He was never real political. I mean, in fact,
in years past he would kind of quietly endorse a
local Democrat, nobody would notice. I think he endorsed Sylvester
Turner once many years ago, because you know, as much
as I didn't like Sylvester Turner, I guess he was
very pro supportive of local businesses, they claim, and that's
(20:48):
neither here nor there. People never had an issue with
Mattress Mac tipping his toe into the political world until
he went all in on the GOP over the last
couple of years, supporting Alex Mieler, supporting all the female
Republican judicial candidates that just took over the the Appeals Court,
which is great, and of course supporting Donald Trump among
(21:10):
other people. And so that's what you guys are doing
today talking about the election.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Well, actually we're talking to hibout. We were presenting him
with the Conservative Leader Award. This an award gifts about
a dozen people every year, men and women who kind
of in their communities kind of embodied that sense of
being a citizen leader. And so I had to ask
him about his political stuff, and which when you're talking
(21:35):
about about the politics, he has a sense of fella
who's kind of amused by the fact that he's just
kind of always been Mattress Mack. He he loves and
cares about Houston. He you know, he cares about his neighbors,
and he just wants to he wants to make money
and wants them to make all them happy, you know
kind of thing. And and and it's funny that you
get this and he's one of those kind of the
(21:56):
living embodiments of it, be kind of a normal person
you can walk up and meet who he's been, who
he's always been.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
But the parties have, and particularly the Democratic Party has
radically shifted.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
And uh, you know, and what what what what Mac
told me was, you know, he said, I feel like
I've always been the same guy and which wants to
save you money, right and yet and yet the parties
have shifted, and and he just wants to do what's
best for Houston. And I think that's why so many
folks told us he's someone who has to get get
this award and and then sitting aside his politics, just
(22:31):
a guy who kind of you know, leads with his
love for Houston. It's fun to meet people like that,
you know, Kenny. We're told that we're not supposed to
show our civic pride wherever we happen to live. We're
supposed to be, you know, condescending towards those who do,
and kind of the the aloofness we're sop to have,
you know, you know, Mattress back where's Houston literally on
(22:54):
his sleeve every day.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
It's kind of cool to meet people like that.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, and he was publicly attacked by Lena had Dawgo.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Let me let me, let me change that statement a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
A guy that has spent his life creating jobs in
a city called Houston, Texas, where he takes a substantial
portion of his profits and sends military veterans to go
to baseball games and takes disabled people on vacation, and
there's no shortage of the charity that he does, but
apparently didn't support the right presidential candidates and or political
(23:24):
candidates in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four, was
referred to as some mattress salesman by Lena Hidalgo.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Well, whether or not he meant to ingest, and whether
or not he meant for it to be public, I'm
glad that he's removed it.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Oh, I'm sorry, this is the wrong sound bite.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
That's Lena Hidalgo getting mad that Mayor Whitmeyer made fun
of her nerdy boyfriend on Facebook.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I thought that was a different SoundBite. But it's still funny,
isn't it.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, look, I mean the this kind of goes to.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
One of the questions I asked him was, you know,
you know, for a lot of people, they think they've
got to keep their nose down, they've got to you know,
just kind of do their business, sinking of their family
and shut up. And his adject is, no, I'm I'm
supposed to if i'm if I'm doing good, I'm supposed
to help other people do good.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And that means being involved in the community.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
And so, you know, when when you hear hear people
like Lenna Hildalgo kind of speak dismissively of Mattress Mac,
you remember, he's made hundreds, maybe thousands of jobs there
in Houston by being just a mattress salesman. Whereas Lena,
you know, what, what has she done right? But besides
(24:37):
besides employing pharmaceutical reps to go procure her, you know,
various drugs, what has she actually accomplished in this world
besides make Harris County a laughing stock in the country
and even among Democrats.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, Mattress Mac just wants to do good. While doing good.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
I think we need more Mattress Macks than a lot
fewer Lena Hildalgos.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I love that mattress Mack and Sylvester Stillone might not
seem like they have a lot in common, but both
of them a huge success, legendary, iconic people from their industry,
both of them late breaking Trump supporters and Republicans are
very awesome for them. I'll tell you what, while I
have you on the line, I'd love to ask you
about this. Somebody I'm not a fan of right now
or really ever have been. John Cornyn at the beginning
(25:22):
of the week said the senior Senator from Texas, if
we make him Senate majority leader, he'll do everything he
can to confirm Trump's appointment appointments, his cabinet picks. And
then the position goes to John Thune. Not my favorite
person either, but certainly not as bad as Cornyn. And
suddenly Cornyn's trying to stop Matt Gates, who previously ousted
(25:43):
Kevin McCarthy from becoming Attorney general. Now maybe people don't
care for Matt Gates.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Matt describes himself as a libertarian populist. That's me, Michael,
I'm a libertarian. I like Matt Gates. I agree with him.
I think getting rid of the swamp creatures is great.
I think it's time to get rid of Cornyn. Look,
John Cornyan wants to play up both ways. You know,
no one put a gun to John Cornyn's head to
make him say.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Earlier in the week, I'm gonna.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Do everything to get Donald Trump's nominees, you know know,
across the finish liner and every rewarded.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
He was crystal clear. He was that clear. He doesn't
get to be a majority leader.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Now he's towing the Democratic line, which John Cornyan tends
to do as a Republican, towe the Democrat line in
raising questions about getting Trump's nominees across the line. And
I've had a number of folks who said, oh, but Michael,
you got to understand the nu wants and the caveats
that are all and that when they say these things,
(26:44):
they know there's all sorts of asterisks and footnotes. And
I'm sick and tired of that, can you I'm sick
and tired as a as a human being, as an American,
as a Texan of having to, you know, pull out
my secret decoder ring for politicians that when they say
one thing, I'm supposed to understand they mean something else.
Not anymore, we need to hold these guys accountable for
(27:05):
what they say. Don't you know, you know they count
on you apologizing for them. They count on me reinterpreting
whatever they say.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
None of that.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Let these guys let their yes be yes and there
no be no. And John Cornyn, we we as Texans,
should take our responsibility for the problem that is John Cornyn,
because we all sit there and we mumble ourselves, Oh, well,
you know, John Cornyn, he just that's just John Cornyan.
You know he's got to you gotta keep really liking
because he's John Cornan.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
No.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
I think that's where all of us have to start saying,
John Cornyn, you're fired.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yet out of here amen to that.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
People keep saying, well, you know, we need Cornyn because
he's safe and easy to elect. Hello, Ted Cruz, one
of the most conservative people in the government just won
by almost nine points.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
We don't have to do this anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm sick and tired of Would you say, is Cornyn
the worst Republican in the state of Is he the worst?
I mean Crenshaw, sure, but Cordin feels like he's a
bigger threat to liberty.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
So certainly at the federal level, I cannot think of
anyone at the federal level from Texas who is doing
more to damage the Republican brand, doing more to damage
the cause of liberty than John Cornyan. John Cornyan should
retire and go, you know, count to his Ukrainian dollars
or whatever is he's going to do when he retires.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
The people of Texas deserve something better. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
He's got a severance package, but it's all Ukrainian money.
Michael quinn Sullivan my brother from another man. I'm glad
you were in Houston today. I'm sorry we didn't get
to meet up in person, but you guys do awesome work.
I love Texas scorecard dot com. It is so important
to have a news outlet like that one out there
actually spreading truth and when people in our own party
(28:51):
are spreading lies. Michael quinn Sullivan follow him on x.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
According to a new report, exaggerated statements are up by
like a billion and now more of the highest rated
show on radio, Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Bad news for the gays.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Gays, you almost got to see Dan Denzel kiss a dude.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I mean you almost got to see it.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Denzel Washington says he had a same sex kiss scene
in Gladiator two, but it got cut. Now Lindsey Graham
has lost the smile he's had since the election.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
How sad, Ladies, You're Me?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Is just a spoiled, peppered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
Or what.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
A gay kiss was cut from Gladiator Too? Sounds like
we're forgetting who's the core audience for Gladiator movies.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Tim mathis stand up.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Comedian and Hollywood news reporter for Pursuit of Happiness Radio?
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Is it?
Speaker 8 (29:53):
You?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
And I were talking off.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
The air a little bit about this is Hollywood taking
a gay kissing scene out of Gladiator Too. We weren't
actually talking about that, but we were talking about has
Hollywood learned anything from the election? And I wonder if
this news story is proof that they have? Or am
I just imagine maybe it was just not a good scene.
I don't know, what do you think?
Speaker 10 (30:12):
Can we just be happy they didn't make it a
musical at this point, I mean, after what they did
to the Joker. Yeah, but no, Hollywood is doing what
they've always done. They're they're out right now saying that
they've you know, the country has spoken, and we might
want to adjust our narratives and you know, get with
(30:35):
the rest of the country. But it's it's all forcewa washed.
It's hogwash, forcewash. That's not a thing.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
No, No, I think we understood that, we understood what
you men. You can horsewash around here.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Yeah, it's all it's all bs. They might, you know,
tack to the center for a couple of months, but
it'll be right back to you know, half the country
is evil and you guys are all hitler within you know,
a year. By the by the end of the year,
(31:06):
they'll be right back to saying the same stuff that
they've been saying for the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Well here's something else I just noticed. And you and
I also didn't talk about this off the air, but
on the topic we're on right now. Saturday Night Live
viewership cratered during the twenty twenty four election cycle. Now,
I'm I'm a little surprised to hear that. I actually
thought that Saturday Night Live has been funnier this season,
and not surprisingly, they've been making fun of Kamala. Is
(31:32):
that why the ratings are down?
Speaker 10 (31:36):
I think the ratings are down, just I disagree with
you on the amount of funny Saturday Night. I don't
think Saturday Night Night Live has been funny and six
or seven years, I.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Mean, oh no, no, great, I mean gets here or
there compared.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
To previous seasons, like opening every episode with Alec Baldwin
impersonating Trump for four years. That was very unfunny. Maya
Rudolphe Kamala was actually funny to me.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
It was she did a good job with Maya Rudolph
as commonal. But I don't see them continuing that because
Kamala is irrelevant now. I mean, they're not gonna, believe me,
they are not going to kick her wa washing down
because that would cancel Saturday Night Live. But yeah, maybe
that maybe they'll stop with the constant Trump bashing now that.
(32:26):
I mean, they've got four years and it was a massive,
uh not necessarily a landslide, but just a dominant win
by Trump. So I don't see how they can think
that they're just going to keep doing that.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah, okay, well, you know, I get your point there.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
While we're on the topic, I wonder if Sylvester Stallone
wants to retire soon.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Here he is last night at Marlago.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Remember the first image was a picture of Jesus as
a resurrection ac club. I found a church that had
been converted to a boxing ring. So these pans down
from Jesus onto Rocky being hit, And at that moment
he was a chosen person.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
And that's how I began the journey.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Something was going to happen. This man was going to
go through a metamorphosis and change lives, just like President Trump.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Wow, we are in the presidence of a really mythical character.
I love mythology, and this individual does not exist on
this planet.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Nobody in the.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
World could have pulled off when he pulled off.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
So I'm in.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
Awe and I'll just say this and I mean it.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea
that he was going to change the world, because without him,
you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess
what we got the second George Washington.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Wow, Stallone didn't just compliment Trump, he didn't just say
he liked him. Timm he compares him to George Washington.
I mean, look, I like the New Tulsa King. I
think it's a good show. I've always loved Rambo and Rocky.
I grew up with that stuff. What do you make
of this? I mean this is Look, some people are
criticizing him for not supporting Trump before the election. Whatever,
(34:25):
better late than ever, I say, Stallone is welcome at
the Mega party.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Uh yeah, I mean obviously he wouldn't be doing it
if he was an up and coming No, you know,
he's got he's got the kind of resume where he
doesn't have to kiss anybody's butt anymore. Any any project
that Sylvester Stallone wants to do, he can get done.
He's got a hit show right now, like you said. Uh,
and yeah, it would have been better for the Trump
(34:52):
campaign and for the movement and everything if he would
have But you know, if that would have been the case,
it would have been a whole story about you know,
Sylvester Stallone is now Hitler and all this crap. Notice
all the Hitler rhetoric has really died down ever since
the election happened and Joe Biden shook his hand. You know,
(35:13):
you don't shake Hitler's hands, Can I point that out?
So all that was of course BS, and they knew
it was BS when they were saying it. So yeah,
I mean it's it's crazy and the reason why he
didn't come out is because you can't come out. Hollywood
doesn't want conservative celebrity. That's one reason why they hate
(35:36):
Joe Rogan so much. Because Joe Rogan is a creation
of Hollywood. Not that he's not talented, not that he's
you know, not a funny guy and and isn't talented,
but Hollywood magnified him. Hollywood blew him up. His first
big break was news radio, and he had fear factor
and all that other stuff, and they don't want any
(35:56):
more of that. Once Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stalloone Go Away,
they were hoping they would be done with any conservative
people in Hollywood. Look what they did to Dina Carano.
And she didn't come out and do anything that was
overtly anti gay or that anti trans that's what they
tried to make it.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Wars actress, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (36:15):
Exactly, I mean, and all she did was was just say, hey,
don't demonize your neighbors because they may not believe everything
that you believe. And she was fired and almost immediately
had a whole show that was centered around her character
in the production. So uh, And that was with John Favreau,
who is a huge producer out here. So the fact
(36:36):
that one of his productions could get get canceled off
of social media stuff that was fairly innocuous, just because
it stepped out of the party line for half an
inch is terrifying to people out here. And it's because
it's because they don't want to create another Joe Rogan.
It's the reason why Mark Wahlberg moved his production company
(36:58):
to Nevada. It's the reason and win Dennis Quaid opened
his production company in Texas, called Me Dennis. It's also
Mark Walber, right, yeah, exactly. It's It's why Hollywood is dying.
It's why people are trying to film in other locations.
Street pols don't want to deal with all the all
(37:18):
the BF that comes with working in this bubble, all right.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Rachel Zegler is the star at Disney's new snow White.
She is wished wishing harm on Trump supporters. She says
she wishes Trump supporters never know any piece. This woman
has put her foot in her mouth many times. She
actually said snow White itself is a disgusting, weird, creepy
story and you shouldn't like it, and that they're going
to fix the thing.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
And then, of course, since then, they've had to.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Change the movie and rear recast the midgets or the
dwarfs or whatever they decided on. And here's Rachel Zeglin
like she can't work at Disney anymore. This is how
much damage has she done to the brand. The movie
hasn't even come out yet, it comes out March. Is
anyone gonna go see Disney Snow White?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I doubt it.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
I mean, I'm.
Speaker 10 (38:05):
Sure some people are just thinking that it's you know,
looking at the name snow why you go. But there's
gonna be a lot of people that skip that film.
And it's already been in production hell for the longest
time because, like you said, they had to make changes
and they didn't. Peter Dinklage came out and said he
was the only dwarf that could work in Hollywood and
(38:27):
ruin the movie for him in that manner. But yeah,
Zegler just keeps putting her foot in her mouth, and
it is fascinating to watch somebody she allegedly has already
come out and issued on apology. But I mean, the
internet is forever. People don't forget stuff like that. And
if you tell half the country or in this case,
(38:50):
because of the popular vote more than half the country
that they are horrible people and that you wish them
harm and that you hope that they never see any peace. Well,
they're not going to buy your products, especially when you're
literally a nobody. Nobody knows who Rachel Zegler is. Maybe
girls under the age of twenty, I don't know. But
(39:12):
she's not Tom Cruise, she's not even Nicole Kidman, She's
you know, she's nobody. Nobody has heard about Rachel Zegler
other than mostly the controversy around Rachel Zegler telling people
that they are awful people and it's it's not the
way to endear yourself to an audience, right.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yeah, it's pretty wild that Rachel Zegler is still doing this.
But because I feel like you and I have had
this conversation before. I feel like you and I have
done this radio segment before. This movie that Disney's going
to produce about snow White has a star actress who's
really alienating a large chunk of the country.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Pause for reaction, Repeat news story.
Speaker 10 (39:53):
You and I have been doing us for months, we have,
and you know what, and you saying that I'm waiting
for Rachel Zigler to drop a disc track like a
man with Stenberg kid.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
How embarrassing was that the girl from Acolyte the Star
warst She made a rap song about how she didn't
like Trump supporters because we didn't like her new Star
Wars show. Hey, we're about to run out of time
