Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack gannon government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile, or a suit
of having and us on your radio to ol justice
cheeseburger saying a libiny prize. It's sooo.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
That asteroid that was supposed to hit Earth is supposedly
now going to hit the moon. The impact will still
create less dust than post malone when he shakes his head. Hi, everybody,
welcome to the show. Thanks for turning us on. Two
guests here with us this afternoon. Brandon Darby, Breitbart Texas.
You're not gonna believe. I mean, I know that sounds
like hyperbolic sensationalism from a talk show host, but no, really,
(00:43):
you're not going to believe what is happening at the
border right now. The radical changes that have just occurred
in the last twenty four to forty eight hours are
going to blow your mind all over your face. I
know it's too soon to say this for sure, but
it really feels like we have just won the biggest
battle ever with the cartel. Cartels in Mexico control the
(01:05):
federal government even when the cartel leaders are behind bars.
That's changing now. We'll explain why also here this afternoon
Tony Ortiz Current Revolt dot com. If you're not aware,
it's one of the most controversial news outlets in Texas
politics in the Austin area. And Tony has some news
about a lawmaker who appears to be doing something that
(01:26):
I don't think his wife is going to appreciate. So
Tony will tell you about that. Stick around for that. Now,
all that being said, I want to start the show
off with this. You guys know who Michael Berry is.
Michael Berry one of the smartest men in talk radio,
one of the biggest shows in America.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Michael makes the point.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
On social media and on his radio show frequently that
the new leader of the Democrat Party is this lawmaker
from Dallas Fort Worth. Her name's Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin Crockett
is the new AOC And you're probably thinking, well, what
happened to AOC. AOC has kind of toned it down recently.
She's not saying all the crazy controversial things she was
(02:02):
saying a year or two ago, or even a few
months ago, back before the election. Because it sounds like
AOC is getting ready to run for president. It really
sounds that way. I don't know. She's very popular, but
in order to get elected, she has to move a
little closer to the center. So the person that is
almost like the hermit crab of ignorance, the person that's
moved into her old show is Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin Crackett
(02:23):
could not get any dumber. She thinks she knows how
Elon made his money. She says, he's a billionaire.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Listen to this as it relates to X. He has
never made a profit since he bought X. In fact,
the value of X is seventy five percent lower than
it has ever been. So if I am gonna go
look for somebody to run a business, I'm gonna look
for someone who is going to run one successfully. And
(02:49):
before people start screaming and yelling about well he's a billionaire. Yeah,
when you know the right people and they'll just give
you money, then you can become a billionaire too. And
maybe one day all of us will have that kind
of access.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But in Sylvie, guys, hang.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
On, let's pausit right there. Elon Musk, she's saying, is
not a good businessman. Elon Musk is the richest guy
on earth. There's the richest guy on Earth. So if
he's not a good businessman, what exactly is the metric
compared to what who's better at business than Elon Musk.
Elon Musk created PayPal, he created Tesla, he created SpaceX.
(03:24):
It's so stupid. I'm not even gonna keep waxing intellectual
on that. I think you could probably fill in the
gaps if you want. That wasn't even the dumbest thing
she said this week. Jasmine Crockett suggested earlier this week
that if Donald Trump negotiates an end to the Ukraine
Russia war, we could all die.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
If we end a war will be less safe.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Instead, we're pushing conspiracy theories, and some of them are
killing people. It's the same thing that we have coming
out of Doge. Is the reason that people are dying,
is the reason that farmers are losing their farms because
we continue to pedal conspiracy theories. It is time for
us to say, mister President, guess what Russia invaded Ukraine?
(04:05):
Can we at least agree on that one?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Facts matter? Y'all?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
This is literally potentially putting us into an international crisis.
We may be heading towards the next World war because
we have a president that wants to pale around with
Putin and wants to do everything to make him feel good,
including lying about who invaded who guys.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Let's pause it right here.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Jasmine Crockett is suggesting that Trump negotiating with Putin will
lead to World War three. It would literally end the
war that you know, I'm talking how they talk, but yeah,
it would. Again, I repeat the hermit crab of ignorance.
One person moved out of the shell AOC, and Jasmine
Crockett moved right into it.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Coming up more, Kinney Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
A safe space.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
For those who love liberty and try not to take
themselves too seriously, even if your name is Karen.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
One of our listeners recently complained that when I tell
a joke when we come back from break, it's always
too dirty. What are you talking about? They're not dirty jokes.
Sometimes I'm just giving you off the cuff for mark
about a news story. Okay, you want some clean jokes,
here we go. I accidentally rubbed some ketchup in my eyes.
Now I have hindsight.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Do you get it?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
No, nobody's laughing. How about this one? What do spiders
do for a cardio workout. They take a spin class.
Oh you don't like that. Here's another spider joke. What
kind of spiders do spiders attend? No, that's not right.
What kind of classes do spiders attend? That'd be webinars?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Sounds like some Texas justice to me. And now live
from the Border. It's bright. Bart's Brandon Darby with the
Cartel Chronicles only on KPRC radio. Is a he is
a single dad.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
No, I'm not using that to mock him or anything,
but Brandon, you're probably no stranger to the dad joke.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (06:01):
I tell dat Jeff every day.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Okay, I know I'm putting you on the spot here,
but do you have one?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
I invented one. I created one. One day I was
going to eat at a Middle East and restaurant with
my daughter, and then it occurred to me. I said,
I said, what did the pita bread say to the doctor?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
What what did the peda bread say to the doctor?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
He said, I's flawful.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I like it, Brandon, I like you. Thank you for
playing along. All right?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The rest of this radio segment won't be quite as lighthearted,
actually it is. There are good things happening, right, now Brandon,
for those that don't know, he's the senior editor of
Breitbart Texas, the Cartel Chronicles. Everybody reports on the border now,
but there was a decade or so where ago when
nobody did. Brannan was one of the only people with
a team of journalists down at the border doing comprehensive
coverage of what happens there, and they continue to do
(06:54):
great work today. His team at Breitbart is calling this
the Trump Effect. The Trump of fact is a term
that they're using to describe the vast changes in our
immigration system and how it's affecting culture and life around
the country. One of the things I thought was fascinating
that you guys reporting on this past week before we
get to the bigger story, was this little story. Apparently,
(07:17):
one part of the Trump Effect, according to you guys,
is that smugglers, human smugglers, coyotes, if you will, are
now being paid to get people out of the country
that they're self deporting.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Brandon, is this true, Yes.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
It is true. Yeah, people are leaving. We're starting to
see numbers like, instead of it being you know, five
to ten thousand a day at the border that they're
interacting with now we're coming across two hundred people. We're
having days where two hundred people across the entire two
thousand mile border. That's unpard of. And people are starting
(07:56):
to go south. People are starting to leave on their
own terms.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So I know, Wow, there's no way to know this obviously,
but from what you can tell, are they paying as
much to get out of the country as they were
to get in.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
I doubt it. I don't know, I would doubt it.
I think that I think that there are a lot
of you know, obviously there'll still be some business where
people are smuggling people into the US, but instead of
it being what the golf cart I mean, the golf
cartel is the most affected by Trump because when it
comes to immigration, because their primary business model shifted from
(08:31):
not the golf cartel, but the main faction of the
golf cartel, right, the Renosa faction. Their business model over
the years shifted from somewhere in twenty fourteen or so,
it shifted from from drugs to primarily making their money
from bringing migrants to the border, stashing them their warehouses,
and then sending them across the border. In order to
(08:53):
do that, they you know, they charge these people and
they make them pay them for however many years, right
every week or every two weeks, and their primary business
model just got crashed. So when people can't just show
up at the border anymore. Now they can make some money,
but not nearly as much sneaking people in like they
(09:14):
with drugs. Right. But but for a lot of that
industry surrounding the cartels and the smuggling and migrants like
they're they're they're having a lean time right now, so
to speak. You know, it's it's kind of the equivalent
of of you know, corn farmers. Right when corn farmers
(09:34):
they used to grow this stuff called broom corn because
everybody needed brooms, right sure, And when when vacuum cleaners
were invented and started to be widely available, all the
corn farmers started going out of business. And and that's
kind of what's going on right now with with human smugglers.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So bottom line me on this here are that there
is actually a need for some of these illegal immigrants
who are you know, they're in the country illegally, they
want to get out, There is a need for them
to pay someone. They can't just walk over the border
and say are bad. We shouldn't have been here. It's
it's really like that.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
And it depends on where they're going, right, So, if
they're going into Nuelo Laredo, they probably going to need
to pay someone or they're going to get kidnapped. If
they're going you know, if they're going into somewhere in
the Big Bin sector, or if they're going into you know, Tijuana,
they're probably fine. It just depends. If they're going into
(10:32):
you know, from Eagle Pass to to Piantadas Megadas right
in Mexico, they're probably fine, But it depends where they're going.
And but some places, most definitely they would, Yeah, most definitely.
But see a lot of people who are here have
not been deported yet, right, And so if they leave voluntarily,
(10:54):
then if there's a different administration in the future, then
they can come back and turn themselves in. But if
they get to ported did, then it's gonna make it
very complicated for them to turn themselves in. They're just
going to be sent right back, you know. So they
want to be here without ever having been deported so
they can maybe come back right.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Interesting, So on one hand, they want to make sure
that there aren't legal repercussions later, and then on the
other hand, they don't want to get kidnapped by criminals
out there.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's so much more.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Complicated than some people could even begin to understand, and
yet at the same time it all makes perfect sense.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
I mean, if I had to travel across Mexico from
the US border, do they Guatemala border, I would absolutely
and I had to do it by foot, I would
absolutely try to make sure that I paid someone who
would avoid me being kidnapped or killed by various cartels.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Absolutely, all right, So let's talk about this other thing
you guys are reporting on today, and this is a
this is a bigger story. Mexico extra diding Los Zeta's
cartel's supreme leader ahead of a meeting with you diplomats,
Mexico abruptly extraditing twenty nine cartel bosses to the US,
including a de agent's dea agent's killer. This is remember
(12:10):
in Mexico, the cartels influenced the government all the way
up to the tipsy tippy top of their own federal government. So, Brandon,
this is a pretty big news story. I don't know
if this is getting the attention it deserves.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
It's a gigantic news story. It's definitely getting the attention
it deserves in Mexico. But once again, traditional US media,
the legacy media we used to call left media, but
now you know, we'll just say legacy media. They don't
realize how big of a story it is. I mean,
the Washington Post reported, everybody reported it, but they don't
(12:43):
realize how how big of a game changer this is.
You know, the US government for the first time on
the world stage was like, Mexico is a narco state.
They're protecting these cartels because they make money from cartels,
and Mexico got put in macper position. Well, then the
US government starts talking about, hey, if you're not going
(13:03):
to give them to us, if you're not going to
hand them over, we're going to come get them. And
then some thulks were saying, if you're not in government,
if you're not going to hand them to us and
we can't come get them, then we might just use
a drone, right because they're terrorists. Now we declare them
as foreign terrorst organizations. So you know, when when that happens,
(13:24):
Mexico's put in a weird spot. Do they do They
just hold the line and continue being identified as a
Narco state, or do they do something to show that
they're going to play ball, especially when they realize those
people are going to get handed over anyways, they're going
to get taken anyways by the US because this no
longer is an issue for DEA, FBI or US marshals.
(13:46):
Now it becomes an issue for you know, Joint Special
Operations Command, right when their terror organization, so a foreign
terror organization. So you know, Mexico was putting a really
start spot in and you know, between a rock and
a hard place. And I think they made the right
decision with this. We'll see if they continue it. We'll
(14:07):
see if some of the active you know, like with
Lozetta's those two leader Supreme leaders, even though they were
in jail in Mexico, they were still running the show.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Right, that's a big deal that most people don't.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Know that tortured.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
There used to be one cartel really in Mexico, un
major cartel. It was called the Guadalajara Cartel. And this guy,
Carlos Kintaro was one of the bosses. So when the
DEA burned four billion dollars of his marijuana crops, right,
he kidnapped this DEA agent. He tortured him. He had
medical staff on hand to keep him alive so he
could torture him more. He reported it right, and the
(14:47):
US government was like, tell no. So ultimately what happened was,
at least in the majority of Mexico on the western portions,
they divided up their empire and said, okay, you run this.
You run this, you'd be this cartel, will be this
ti Tel, you'd be that cartel. Well then those cartels
started fighting right each other, and thus we have the
(15:07):
problems we have now. But this all started when Carlos
Cantero killed you know, dea special agent, Enrique Kiki Tambarino.
And when that happened, that changed everything. But they would
never give them to us. Right, he lived in luxury.
He was allegedly in jail maybe, but if he was,
it was you know, he's probably leaving and doing what
he wanted, and they would never give him to us.
(15:30):
His family never got justice all the way from nineteen
eighty five, and finally this big major figure who would
they would never hand over, they decided to hand him over.
It's unheard of what just happened. This is a moment
for cartels like like you know, there's this this former
mob guy named Michael Francis meant some people watch him
(15:51):
on YouTube and he's kind of famous. And he said,
you know when the US government, you know, did the
Rico act?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Right?
Speaker 7 (15:58):
When when when his underlings did no longer meant they
got in trouble, but it meant that he got in
trouble too. He said, That's really what did away with
the power of Italian mafia because people weren't facing five years.
All of a sudden, the whole organization, everyone was facing
three life sentences without the possibility of parole unless they
(16:18):
turned state witness. And everyone turned state witness because of
course you do right, and everyone would turn state witness.
And it really just did away with the power of
the Italian mafia in the US Italian American mob. And
this is that moment for Mexico.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I believe, boy Brandon, you explained that perfectly. And this
is very exciting news. I hop more people take it
as seriously as it should be taken. Hey, before we
get out of here, can I ask you about one
more news story this week that has nothing to do
with the border immigration, but I know it's a story
you've been following as a journalist and an activist and
a voter for quite a.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
While, that of the Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's been so many years since Jeffrey Epstein Mysterious died
in prison. I'm sure we all have similar theories about
what probably happened to him. And of course the story
of Giswayne Maxwell, his madam. She's now in prison for
a long time. The supposed Epstein files were partially released
this week to a bunch of social media influencers at
(17:19):
a White House press briefing, and that has become a
controversial thing. That was a bit misreported, some people saying
it was a publicity stunt, other people saying it was
just a coincidence that those social media influencers were visiting
the White House for a new media summit. The timing
coincided with Pam Bondi wanting to make a statement about
how the Southern District of New York FBI office is
(17:41):
withholding the Epstein files. They requested the Epstein files at
the White House, they wanted to publish them at the DOJ.
They wanted to share them with the world, but apparently
what would amount to I think in the FBI middle management,
the Southern District of New York saying they're gonna have Well,
they didn't say this that the White House clams the
Southern District of New York is hanging on to thousands
(18:02):
of files and documents and videos and photos and they
won't allow it to be released and Pam Bondi's going
to have to challenge them in court.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Now, what's your take on this?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is the White House dragging their feet or is it
actually the Southern District of New York that's preventing this
stuff from getting published? I know you don't know, but
you were a former FBI informant. If you had to
guess based on what you know about how the FBI works,
what's your theory.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Based on? Okay, so a lot of these things. What
the reasoning behind not releasing them? Even with MLK files
and stuff? The reasoning sometimes is that there are people
who are still alive who worked on those cases, right,
who worked undercover, who shared information, and it takes time
(18:51):
to redact and to get you know, to really sift
through inso and make sure you're not giving away someone's
identity who helped the f the I. So that's the
overt reasoning behind why if somebody from headquarters says, give
me that, why they might stall And that's the possible reason.
(19:13):
It could be that they're protecting people. But I'm pretty
sure if if the leadership of the country says that
a particular office is stonewalling and not giving him stuff,
it's probably true, you know what I mean. I can't
imagine that, you know, FBI director Cash Patel words that
I never sawt would come out of my mouth. But
(19:35):
I can't imagine that he would have put out the
tweet on Twitter. And yes, I still call it Twitter,
and that's what I'm gonna call it. I can't imagine that.
At best, I'll say twitter X, twitter X, you know,
but I'm not saying twitter. I'm not just saying X
because it sounds like when I say someone's on ecstasy.
It's not like I'm saying on ecstasy. And I'm not
going to say that, right because I'm from an age
(19:55):
group where X mental specific things.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I'm from the same time brandon X is a club
drug from the nineties, but now that's a social media platform.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
So anyway, but you were saying.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, so you know, he put out a very
strong statement. He didn't directly address you know SD and Y,
you know Sevendustry in New York. But he definitely, he
definitely said if anyone's doing this, we're going to investigate it.
And you know, so I have a very strong suspicion
that that's what's going on. I think that I think that,
(20:27):
you know, there are people who think that these guys,
they're wondering what they're going to do. They're wondering if
they're going to just burn everybody and reveal the names
of everybody, and so they're they're hesitant to hand things over.
But ultimately they're going to have to. And I don't
think there's any good reason other than a bunch of
powerful men are likely going to be named. I don't
think there's any good reason. I mean, you have like
like Israeli's former prime Prime Minister Ethid Baratt, this son
(20:51):
of a gun was like on Epstein's Yet thirty times.
You know, that doesn't mean he did it. He says
he was on there with his security and his wife, right,
But it just sounds real sketchy. And I think we
need to know these things. I think we need to
know who did this. I think that the victims deserve that,
and I think the American public deserves that.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
All right, Well, one more quick question.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
We only got a minute left because we went way
along on this, but I got to get your take
on this. Cash Battel has publicly said he's having discussions
with the with the with the UFC to get recently
retired UFC fighters to train FBI agents for hand to
hand combat. You're obviously very into mixed martial arts. You're
a former FBI informant. Uh cool, I think it's cool.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Here's what I think then. I think that you know,
there are a lot of things wrong back in the
day with the g men and with j Edgar Hoover,
but they were also facing extraordinary circumstances and challenges. I
think having a you know, a meaner FBI when it
comes to actual bad guys, and not a one that's
(21:57):
mean to people like me and you. If we're at
an a you know, protesting an abortion clinic or something,
I think that would be a good thing. And I
think that Cashpotel thinks that you got to remember, we're
in a situation now where where you know, people really
aren't you know, the bad guys really don't fear the
(22:17):
tough FBI, right, the FBI doesn't have that reputation right now.
It's an FBI where you know, they they had ten
millimeter handguns. They felt like it was too powerful, so
they they went to you know, they net down the
amount of powder in the charge in the bullet in
the rounds because so agents could handle shooting it. And
(22:39):
then from there they went to, you know, just kind
of down, down, down, because I like, it kicks too hard,
it doesn't feel good, and it's like, okay, you're supposed
to be the FBI, like like mana sprout a pair,
let's go, you know. And and so to me, I
think that's a great idea. I think to you know,
they do, from what I understand, received training and they
(23:00):
have something you know called the pit I believe where
they have a limited amount of training. But as someone
who right now I'm actually driving to my jiu jitsu,
imagine that I can tell you. I can tell you
that if you if you you know, what you learned
might kind of help you, but it doesn't really help
you unless you're still learning it and doing it. And yeah,
(23:23):
that's not like you guy to do. It's not like
you graduate from it. It's training you gotta always do.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
We got to run. We went way along on this.
That's Brandon Darby.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Follow him on X on Twitter, as he pointed out,
or check out his work at Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Millions of people look at it every day. You should too.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You were listening to Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness, where
everyone is welcome, even scum sucking meggot swallowing socialist bastards
you used to refer to as mom.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I grew up in the eighties, so when I hear
this music, I get chills down my spine.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I loved Star Wars as a kid.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I mean no, I you know. I was born in
the early eighties. Theres a little kid. I had the
Action figures, the toys, the the VHS tapes. Really enjoyed
Star Wars once upon a time. And when I learned
about what Disney was doing to Star Wars over the
last several years, like a lot of you.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It upset me.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It was like finding out that someone murdered one of
my childhood friends. Okay, maybe it wasn't quite that dramatic,
but what Kathleen Kennedy did to Star Wars was tragic.
Kathleen Kennedy's movie producer from Hollywood made everything woke and lame.
They make fun of her in an episode of South Park.
We played the clips for you on the show the
other day. Cartman pretended to be her, and he kept saying,
(24:34):
you make everything lame and gay. Put a black lesbian
and everything, even if it doesn't make any sense, like
what we're working on the new Bambi, Kathleen Kennedy put
up black lesbian in it. Make her lame and gay,
Like okay, all right, we get it. Then we learned
that she was stepping down from her role as the
person in charge of Lucasfilm. Well, we all celebrated. We
(24:57):
were thrilled to learn that. And if you're one of
those people that it was excited about it, here, get
ready for a little bit of whiplash, because I got
some bad news. Breidbart dot com today reporting on how
the best news Star Wars fans have received since we
watched and discussed as Luke Skywalker tossed away his father's
lightsaber in the Last Jedi is that Lucasfilm would dump
(25:20):
franchise serial killer Kathleen Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
By the end of this year.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, once again, Kennedy has decided to crush the hopes
and dreams of Star Wars fans by announcing that she
is not retiring. According to John Nolty at Breitbart dot Com,
all the news about her retiring was fake news, So sorry,
bad news, or is it?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
There's this article in far left Deadline. Did you read Deadline?
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's a news outlet about Hollywood, and they clearly have
a political agenda. If you go down about six paragraphs
in the article, Deadline shamelessly sucking up to Kennedy says
the following. They say, Kennedy arguably is the most successful
female producer executive in Hollywood history, a first ballot Hall
of Famer, not someone who deserves to be batted away
(26:04):
like a pinata. That is some corporate speak, and it
is off the charts.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The whole interview is premised on the news of her
retirement as Lucasfilm boss being fake news. So here's her
answer to the first question she says that she says,
quote the turnuthend is I want to just say loud
and clear, I am not retiring. I will never retire
from movies. I will die making movies. She goes on
to say, I'm not retiring. She says, it's like, all right, okay,
(26:31):
but then we get this. She says, quote, what's happening
at Lucasfilm is I have been talking for quite some
time with Bob and Allen about what eventual secession might
look like. Well, oh, oh, so you're not like just
quitting tomorrow. Sounds a little like she's tiptoeing away from it.
She goes on to say, quote, We'll probably make an
(26:52):
announcement months or a year out, and I have every
intention of sticking around to help that person be successful,
successful in what the change here is Kennedy stepping down
as Lucas boss months or a year out. And then
at the end of the interview, when I asked if
she'll exit as Lucasfilm's boss this year, she says, quote,
we rarely don't know at this stage.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
There's so much going on.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
So the Disney Grooming Syndicate, the company that wants to
trans your child, is looking for a successor somebody to
take over Lucasfilm. She could be gone by the end
of the year, but it's still fake news that she
could be gone by the end of the year because
we don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They don't know. It's not definite.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
When you read the interview, you can actually hear the
echo that comes from the interviewer being stuck so far
up Kathleen Kennedy's ass, Well, you get the idea.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
If I were you, I'd stay put Kenny.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
You'll be right back with more of what you came for.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Far jokes. Do you remember a while back before we got.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Out of here, You remember a while back up in
the Dallas four I mean this was several years ago,
there was a Texas Sharia court.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I mean it was a Sharia court. It happened to
be in Texas.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Nothing there was nothing about it that made it Texas
except the fact that it was in Texas and the
government had to step in. People had to make a
point here and said, you can't have a Sharia court
in Texas.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You can't have a court.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
It was an Islamic tribunal court, and so the government
had to step in and shut that down. This happened
several years ago, and people were shocked to learn that
there were so many Muslims with extremist beliefs in the
state of Texas. Well, we have an update to that.
We now returned to Sharia Dallas only on CMT.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Paslam Lanka, my brothers. The first Tribunal Court of Texas
Sharia laws ready to begin.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Ala Akbar, Ala Akbar.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Judge roy A La Maine, you're the best gosh don
Sharia Judge West the peykoast jee.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
I sure do like being a Muslim. What's on the
roster for Sharia court today, my fellow e moms.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I'll tell you what, I got a bone to pick
with that eyeboo billy Joe's a car.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
He done stole my good hunting boots and never brought
him back.
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Can you believe that ala ag Bar Alakbar, Alagbar, I
did not I dune war Moon hunting boots mock mood
Ricky Bobby bag Doddy and you know that.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Well, I reckon, you're gonna have to prove you didn't
steal them boots, al Akhbar.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Well, no, I ain't got no proof, I bar weal.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Then I reckon, we're gonna have to chop off that
left hand of yours, since that's the hand you took
them boots with.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Dag I really like that hem too, Well, that sells it?
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Then, well, chop off Abu Billy's Joe's that Carr's left
hand and all we'll be right with Alla.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh wait a second, you guys aren't really gonna cut
off his hand? H I mean, isn't that illegal? Can
you guys really do that?
Speaker 9 (29:52):
Well, that's the thing, uh Hasanri Wiley, this Saria court,
it's all voluntary, voluntary mean voluntarily letting them cut your
hand off?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Well, sure, it's part of my islavic faith. I lock
bar I whack bar, I lack bar alack bar.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Life is a terror rist is really led back.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
You're finding the data. Give us head a big back.
See ye still to just shut them in the back
take a lot.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Boy.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
There's once a time on this radio show where we
would play really just tasteless comedy bits all the time,
and I guess those times haven't changed much anyway. As
it turns out, Houston and Dallas, we've been competing with
each other to see who has the most Islamic extremists
living in our backyard, and I think Dallas is beating us. Houston.
We got to step it up. These are rookie numbers.
They're gonna have a thing up in the Houston. The
(30:41):
Dallas Fort Worth area soon called Epic City Epics. You
know who's here to health explain this to us. Tony
Ortiz current Revolt dot com, one of the most controversial
men in political news media in the state of Texas. Tony,
are you getting a mortgage right now? You must be
buying a big house there.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah, speaking of taste, here's Tony Ortiz.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Right, yes, yeah, well, insa, I will get a community
over in the Sharia community uh in North Texas.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
But yeah, it's it's made ways because this is comedy,
is like, it's it's specifically targeted towards towards the Muslims.
And the bigger problem, the potentially the legal problem, is
they've they've stated explicitly that they are not going to
give property to anyone who doesn't fit their or their
their kind of their their values and their ethics.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So it really I jokingly when I saw this ad
on social media. It's a video of two Muslim guys
talking about how great it'll be to live in Texas
while they're saying things with their Arab talk or whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And it's a it's very well produced video, looks like.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
It's very you know, professionally produced by some real estate investors.
But it's clearly Look here here's the clip right now,
let me play a little of this a.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
Heat what a Botkatt, Brothers and sisters. I'm sure many
of you have heard of the amazing project that we're doing,
known as Epic Cities. We are hamdlin La constructing an
entire city half an hour from downtown Dallas, literally thirty
minutes from our own Plano message over here.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Okay, I won't make people watch the whole thing, but
it's exactly what we just described, Muzzlim activists establishing an
Islamic city in Dallas. I at first thought that we
people were exaggerating about this, but Tony, it really is
what it sounds like.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Yeah, yeah, here's the thing. Like, if the Christian community
or Mormon community or Baptist community had decided to you know,
be explicit about this and say, oh, this community is
just for you know, ex religious group, people would call
it a cult. They'd be calling it for to shut
down and be investigated, blah blah blah. But you know,
being in an Islamic community, you're seeing a little less outrage,
especially from the last Now, the rights all over this,
(32:48):
and it's definitely a concern. You know, it's Jeff represented
Jeff Leach and if that's his area relatively, and he's
you know, actually he's penned the letter to Attorney General
Knpax and asking him to investigate, saying it's violating some
laws that are in place.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, it does sound a little bit like housing discrimination laws,
that sort of thing. I mean, we created these laws
years ago to protect black people, and then as time passed,
suddenly you realized some of these laws could protect other
groups we never thought we'd have to protect. It's kind
of like Title nine stuff. Do you remember when the
Wonder Woman movie came out and there were people that
(33:25):
were trying to do screenings of the Wonder Woman movie
that were just for women, and so men showed up
at the screening saying, it's that's illegal.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
You can't you have to let me with Gal gadded
in it.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, red steat watch that one. Steven L.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Miller is a funny author and conservative character on Twitter.
He went to one of the screenings and they begrudgingly
had to let him in because it would be against
the law not to. Isn't that amazing how that really
flipped on him, didn't it.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Yeah, I think he had the same thing with was
the Hooters and like male waiters or waitresses or trans
wadors or whatever.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Yeah, I know South for chapter chapter eleven though whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, no, wonder that's not going well. I'm against that.
Segregated communities. I'm against all any religious gender. I think
it's bad. That being said, have you ever heard of Orania?
This is terrible. I think it's terrible that what I'm
about to tell you is true. I don't endorse this,
but in South Africa there is one single community for
(34:26):
whites only.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's called Orania.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
O r A n i A is a small controversial
town in post apartheid South Africa, and sadly, and it
really bothers me to tell you this, it's one of
the only communities in South Africa that doesn't that isn't
overrun with crime and poverty right now, which.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Which it sounds like a horrible place.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I'm against it. I think it's bad.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
But all right, I'll that Bed said, let's get out
of South Africa for a minute. And the racism there
or the racism in DFW. There's a lawmaker in the
state of Texas named Cole Hefner. For those that don't know,
he's a state and he has a history of being
accused of doing some unsavory things. His wife is a
woman named Carrie Heffner. I don't know her. Maybe she's
(35:09):
a nice person. I have no idea, But Cole is,
according to some reports I've read online, not the most
honest guy about his private life.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Well, you know, you know, years ago, there was some
text messages that came out between Representative Taffener and Representative
Lacey Hole that had that were a little explicit. But
now recently we've published a video that seems to show
some interesting things. So in the video, there's they're Representative
(35:39):
Heffner and this this woman, this blonde woman or at
a party that was held in Austin and there was
some other state reps there. It's some other official people.
And in the video it shows this blonde woman leaving
the party and entering Cole's car without him and then
waiting around for five minutes or so, and then later
(36:00):
on collage is the car and then they leave together.
And it's very interesting and its a lot of people
asking questions as to you know why, why is that
state rep is attending a party this late without his wife?
But you know, as they say, what happens is in
Austin stays in Austin, right or is that Vegas? I
can't I get the two confused.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Well, yeah, right, exactly. But that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
If this was like, I don't care about Elon Musk's
personal life, I don't care. I don't care about the
personal lives of celebrities, doesn't affect me. But if someone's
a lawmaker, especially a lawmaker from my community, this actually
does matter. These people can be compromised, blackmailed, extorted. This
this makes it is there a possibility this could be
affecting how he's voting, knowing that someone out there might
(36:43):
have information or dirt on the guy.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
Well, that's what's interesting. The video that we got is
very old. I want to say it's from twenty twenty three,
so is at least at least a year and a
half old. And so what makes me wonder is who
who filmed this thing and why they fat on and
why we're just now getting right. That's that's the real
question is and these lawmakers, the biggest thing is the
(37:07):
hypocrisy right, they'd advertised themselves as Christian right when conservatives,
and then they lived their lives different ways. And plenty
of lawmakers do this, I mean, you know, and and
their constituents forgive them. I love Donald Trump, the guy's
probably a flander, right. Ken Paxson, greatest attorney general in
the United States, definitely has had issues with his marriage.
You know, you can go on and on, but people
(37:28):
don't really care about this stuff because politics has devolved
into red team versus Blue team. And as long as
my guy is voting for things that I support, I
really don't care if he's out, you know, daily dattling around, right,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I care if they've been blackmailed, you know what I mean.
But in Trumps, in Trump's case, I mean, at that point,
if there's such if they're so successful that everyone knows
about it, and they still don't care, and then at
some point I think it doesn't matter, right.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Yeah, it's just kind of like, uh, it just doesn't
It just doesn't matter anymore, you know, it it matters
to maybe their spouse maybe, right. I think a lot
of these cases, especially in politics, a lot of these
spouses kind of let their husbands or whatever, do whatever
they want as long as as long as they don't
hear about it, or as long as doesn't affect their
daily life.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
All Right, lightning around on the rest of these topics,
because we went on a little long on those first
two stories. Travis County Republican Party chairman, there's controverary for that.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
You know, Travis County, Austin.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Obviously, it's it's an odd place because it's one of
the most important and simultaneously least important places in the
state for Republicans because we control nothing in Austin, even
though it's the state capitol. What's all this about the
chairman of the Travis County Republican Party resigning.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Yeah, the party chair resigned, Matt mccoveac. You know, he
claims he wants to spend more time with his family
and focus on making money. But you know, people were
bringing up questions and they brought it up to us
that you know that they felt that he maybe didn't
spend too much time really focusing on the party itself
when he was there during his tenure. You Know, we
in our report, we ran a bunch of numbers and
(39:00):
we found that, you know, he has a bunch of
these organizations that he's connected to, packs and different organizations
and companies, and you know, a lot of the money
that was being spent in uh from Travis County from
the party was going to organizations or people that were
you know, associated with m Kovak, and so people were
just wondering, you know, is are we paying for things
(39:20):
that are just kind of subsidizing these organizations. And to
make matters a little more interesting, you know, the Travis
County Republican Parties headquarters shared a suite with two of
m Kobak's other companies, which is kind of weird to
me and seems like a conference of interest. Now, Mkoviak
released a statement this morning to me and stating that
you know that it's all, you know, nonsense, and that
(39:41):
he didn't really focus on the party and that you know,
they they all voted and came to an agreement that
they would share that office space, and he did inform
the party, or at least the party to decide that,
you know, come come. I think I think March first,
which would be tomorrow, that they would be leaving that
headquarters and that shared space. But it's all just very
odd to me. But you know. Yeah, money and politics
(40:02):
are streams. Bitfellow.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, And of course when something doesn't make sense or
seems suspicious, there's usually a reason why. And that brings
us to our last story here. Character. You and I
have both taken an interest in a woman. I don't
know if i'd call her a young woman because we
don't know how old she is, uses a fake profile
photo on social media while she runs for Congress against
Dan Crenshaw. Now, I just want to establish something here
(40:27):
before we get into this conversation, Tony. I am no
fan of Dan Crenshaw. I've been criticizing him since twenty nineteen,
way before it was cool to dislike the guy.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Would you agree or disagree with that?
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Absolutely? And I'm in the same boat there. I've been
highly critical of him as well.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
So we need a good primary candidate for Dan Crenshaw.
So there's this woman. She's all over social media. She
calls herself Chrissy Ann Chrissy. You're like, well, probably thinking,
what's her last name? An? No, No, she has no
last name. Her name's just Chrissy Anne, like share or something.
And she is Yeah, and she uses what is obviously
an AI generated profile photo it's not really her. It's
(41:04):
a picture a computer created of what she might look
like if she was better looking. Now you know, he says,
I'm not trying to disrespect people for being fat or
overweight or wrinkly or whatever. But she kind of looks
like all of those things in real life. And the
reason we know that is because last night I met
her at the Cypress tea party event where she was
answering questions she couldn't address. You and I have figured
(41:26):
out a few things about this woman.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I guess you could list them off here. We don't
know where she's from, how old she is. Have you
ever found any record of her voting in the state
of Texas, much less a primary.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
No tried to win. Her voting record is She claims
that it's protected because she's a victim of domestic violence,
and that could very well meet to be true. But
here's the problem I have, Kenny, and I think that
you know she's It's a big fault on hers for
not being not realizing this is that she has decided
to enter a congressional race. She is now a public figure.
Her life is going to be thrown under microscope. So
(42:01):
she should expect, anticipate, and proactively be more transparent about
her private life or about her life in general, right
where she comes from, her voting record, what she believes,
who she is, furthermore, her name, and maybe her real face.
But instead, she's gotten incredibly agitated by people asking these questions,
even you, so much so she said she threatened to
(42:23):
sue you.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Yeah, threatened to assume me, and encouraged her followers on
social media to kick my ass.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Whatever. I'll be fine. I got blocked. Did you? Has
she blocked you?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (42:34):
No? She has? And and you know, here's the thing, like,
she's got all these followers on x and you know
she's gonna make this run. She'll she'll pull maybe one
percent against Crenshaw. And then this is where I'm frustrated.
You know, Crenshaw deserves a good primary opponent, We deserve
Texas deserves a good replacement for Dan Crenshaw. But we
keep throwing these trash candidates at him, expecting one of
(42:56):
them to stick, and then they lose, and then we
complain for the next couple of years that Crenshaw, you know,
still in office. She's she's not a good candidate. She doesn't.
She has no business running. She needs to drop and
they need to figure out somebody else better to run
for that district.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
I would love if we had a good primary candidate.
I will say this though, just you know, pros and
cons of everything. If there's enough bad candidates in a
primary and there's one decent candidate taking on a corrupt incumbent,
is that a way to get to like? Is Chrissy
Ann sort of what's the word I'm looking for? Like
a useful idiot wherein we all know she's not gonna win,
(43:32):
but she might get just enough votes and help out
a better candidate to get to a runoff with Crenshaw.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
And then, if so, who would that be?
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Well, the useful parts of her debate, the idiot part's
probably pretty accurate. As far as an actual candidate that
can run against Crenshaw, I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (43:49):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
You know, people aren't people aren't really happy with his run,
But man, there's been yet to be somebody very serious
that it's stepped up to the plate.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
I I despise politicians. People ask me sometimes, like Kenny,
you criticize them all the time. Why don't you run?
I would rather slit my wrists and jump off a cliff,
and I would hate. First of all, the only way
to I already have a good paying job, and if
I wanted to the only way to make money doing
that is to do stuff that's corrupt. I'd rather have
a good paying job without the corruption than have to
go do that. How do you find a good candidate,
(44:22):
especially in District too, it's a very specific place. I
don't know. I mean, I've never done it, But how
do you find somebody? It's hard to vat. It's easy
to figure out when someone's corrupt. How do you figure
out when they're not?
Speaker 5 (44:35):
Yeah, I think I think everybody's got skeletons and it
eventually just comes to service. It just matters how bad
those skeletons are, right, So go figure out how they're
going to find a good candidates for that area, especially
one with the money to run against Grimshaw.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Yeah, it's too bad someone like I don't know, George
Santos doesn't move to District too.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
You know what I mean, Tony, you do awesome work.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
I know there's a lot of people in the media
that don't like you, but I'm not one of them.
I think Tony Ortiz is. I think he's useful and
he's not an idiot. I think Tony Ortiz is a
very bright young man. You should follow his sub stack.
I'm a subscriber to it. You can go to Current
Revolt dot com. You can sign up. There's two features.
One of them's a free newsletter that tells you about
Texas politics.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
But if you really want the inside dirt.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
Some of the extra juicy stuff about what elected officials
are up to. There's a small fee you pay. It's
not very much and it certainly is worth it. I'm
a subscriber, Tony. What are you doing this weekend? Anything
cool going on?
Speaker 7 (45:28):
Man?
Speaker 5 (45:29):
I'm going to the Apple store to get my battery
replaced on my phone because I'm just on it way
too much. Man, that's the exciting part of my day.
You are exciting day.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
You are a wild man, Tony. That sounds like that
sounds like a wild weekend. Well to the rest of you,
I love you all. I pray for you. Please drive
safe out there. We need you back here bright and
early Monday morning for more of what you bought a
radio for.
Speaker 6 (45:54):
You are listening to the pursuit of happiness radio.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
The government took. Kiss your ass when you listen to
the show
Jack gannon government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile, or a suit
of having and us on your radio to ol justice
cheeseburger saying a libiny prize. It's sooo.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
That asteroid that was supposed to hit Earth is supposedly
now going to hit the moon. The impact will still
create less dust than post malone when he shakes his head. Hi, everybody,
welcome to the show. Thanks for turning us on. Two
guests here with us this afternoon. Brandon Darby, Breitbart Texas.
You're not gonna believe. I mean, I know that sounds
like hyperbolic sensationalism from a talk show host, but no, really,
(00:43):
you're not going to believe what is happening at the
border right now. The radical changes that have just occurred
in the last twenty four to forty eight hours are
going to blow your mind all over your face. I
know it's too soon to say this for sure, but
it really feels like we have just won the biggest
battle ever with the cartel. Cartels in Mexico control the
(01:05):
federal government even when the cartel leaders are behind bars.
That's changing now. We'll explain why also here this afternoon
Tony Ortiz Current Revolt dot com. If you're not aware,
it's one of the most controversial news outlets in Texas
politics in the Austin area. And Tony has some news
about a lawmaker who appears to be doing something that
(01:26):
I don't think his wife is going to appreciate. So
Tony will tell you about that. Stick around for that. Now,
all that being said, I want to start the show
off with this. You guys know who Michael Berry is.
Michael Berry one of the smartest men in talk radio,
one of the biggest shows in America.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Michael makes the point.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
On social media and on his radio show frequently that
the new leader of the Democrat Party is this lawmaker
from Dallas Fort Worth. Her name's Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin Crockett
is the new AOC And you're probably thinking, well, what
happened to AOC. AOC has kind of toned it down recently.
She's not saying all the crazy controversial things she was
(02:02):
saying a year or two ago, or even a few
months ago, back before the election. Because it sounds like
AOC is getting ready to run for president. It really
sounds that way. I don't know. She's very popular, but
in order to get elected, she has to move a
little closer to the center. So the person that is
almost like the hermit crab of ignorance, the person that's
moved into her old show is Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin Crackett
(02:23):
could not get any dumber. She thinks she knows how
Elon made his money. She says, he's a billionaire.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Listen to this as it relates to X. He has
never made a profit since he bought X. In fact,
the value of X is seventy five percent lower than
it has ever been. So if I am gonna go
look for somebody to run a business, I'm gonna look
for someone who is going to run one successfully. And
(02:49):
before people start screaming and yelling about well he's a billionaire. Yeah,
when you know the right people and they'll just give
you money, then you can become a billionaire too. And
maybe one day all of us will have that kind
of access.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But in Sylvie, guys, hang.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
On, let's pausit right there. Elon Musk, she's saying, is
not a good businessman. Elon Musk is the richest guy
on earth. There's the richest guy on Earth. So if
he's not a good businessman, what exactly is the metric
compared to what who's better at business than Elon Musk.
Elon Musk created PayPal, he created Tesla, he created SpaceX.
(03:24):
It's so stupid. I'm not even gonna keep waxing intellectual
on that. I think you could probably fill in the
gaps if you want. That wasn't even the dumbest thing
she said this week. Jasmine Crockett suggested earlier this week
that if Donald Trump negotiates an end to the Ukraine
Russia war, we could all die.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
If we end a war will be less safe.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Instead, we're pushing conspiracy theories, and some of them are
killing people. It's the same thing that we have coming
out of Doge. Is the reason that people are dying,
is the reason that farmers are losing their farms because
we continue to pedal conspiracy theories. It is time for
us to say, mister President, guess what Russia invaded Ukraine?
(04:05):
Can we at least agree on that one?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Facts matter? Y'all?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
This is literally potentially putting us into an international crisis.
We may be heading towards the next World war because
we have a president that wants to pale around with
Putin and wants to do everything to make him feel good,
including lying about who invaded who guys.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Let's pause it right here.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Jasmine Crockett is suggesting that Trump negotiating with Putin will
lead to World War three. It would literally end the
war that you know, I'm talking how they talk, but yeah,
it would. Again, I repeat the hermit crab of ignorance.
One person moved out of the shell AOC, and Jasmine
Crockett moved right into it.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Coming up more, Kinney Webster's Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
A safe space.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
For those who love liberty and try not to take
themselves too seriously, even if your name is Karen.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
One of our listeners recently complained that when I tell
a joke when we come back from break, it's always
too dirty. What are you talking about? They're not dirty jokes.
Sometimes I'm just giving you off the cuff for mark
about a news story. Okay, you want some clean jokes,
here we go. I accidentally rubbed some ketchup in my eyes.
Now I have hindsight.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Do you get it?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
No, nobody's laughing. How about this one? What do spiders
do for a cardio workout. They take a spin class.
Oh you don't like that. Here's another spider joke. What
kind of spiders do spiders attend? No, that's not right.
What kind of classes do spiders attend? That'd be webinars?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Sounds like some Texas justice to me. And now live
from the Border. It's bright. Bart's Brandon Darby with the
Cartel Chronicles only on KPRC radio. Is a he is
a single dad.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
No, I'm not using that to mock him or anything,
but Brandon, you're probably no stranger to the dad joke.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (06:01):
I tell dat Jeff every day.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Okay, I know I'm putting you on the spot here,
but do you have one?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
I invented one. I created one. One day I was
going to eat at a Middle East and restaurant with
my daughter, and then it occurred to me. I said,
I said, what did the pita bread say to the doctor?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
What what did the peda bread say to the doctor?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
He said, I's flawful.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I like it, Brandon, I like you. Thank you for
playing along. All right?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The rest of this radio segment won't be quite as lighthearted,
actually it is. There are good things happening, right, now Brandon,
for those that don't know, he's the senior editor of
Breitbart Texas, the Cartel Chronicles. Everybody reports on the border now,
but there was a decade or so where ago when
nobody did. Brannan was one of the only people with
a team of journalists down at the border doing comprehensive
coverage of what happens there, and they continue to do
(06:54):
great work today. His team at Breitbart is calling this
the Trump Effect. The Trump of fact is a term
that they're using to describe the vast changes in our
immigration system and how it's affecting culture and life around
the country. One of the things I thought was fascinating
that you guys reporting on this past week before we
get to the bigger story, was this little story. Apparently,
(07:17):
one part of the Trump Effect, according to you guys,
is that smugglers, human smugglers, coyotes, if you will, are
now being paid to get people out of the country
that they're self deporting.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Brandon, is this true, Yes.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
It is true. Yeah, people are leaving. We're starting to
see numbers like, instead of it being you know, five
to ten thousand a day at the border that they're
interacting with now we're coming across two hundred people. We're
having days where two hundred people across the entire two
thousand mile border. That's unpard of. And people are starting
(07:56):
to go south. People are starting to leave on their
own terms.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So I know, Wow, there's no way to know this obviously,
but from what you can tell, are they paying as
much to get out of the country as they were
to get in.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
I doubt it. I don't know, I would doubt it.
I think that I think that there are a lot
of you know, obviously there'll still be some business where
people are smuggling people into the US, but instead of
it being what the golf cart I mean, the golf
cartel is the most affected by Trump because when it
comes to immigration, because their primary business model shifted from
(08:31):
not the golf cartel, but the main faction of the
golf cartel, right, the Renosa faction. Their business model over
the years shifted from somewhere in twenty fourteen or so,
it shifted from from drugs to primarily making their money
from bringing migrants to the border, stashing them their warehouses,
and then sending them across the border. In order to
(08:53):
do that, they you know, they charge these people and
they make them pay them for however many years, right
every week or every two weeks, and their primary business
model just got crashed. So when people can't just show
up at the border anymore. Now they can make some money,
but not nearly as much sneaking people in like they
(09:14):
with drugs. Right. But but for a lot of that
industry surrounding the cartels and the smuggling and migrants like
they're they're they're having a lean time right now, so
to speak. You know, it's it's kind of the equivalent
of of you know, corn farmers. Right when corn farmers
(09:34):
they used to grow this stuff called broom corn because
everybody needed brooms, right sure, And when when vacuum cleaners
were invented and started to be widely available, all the
corn farmers started going out of business. And and that's
kind of what's going on right now with with human smugglers.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So bottom line me on this here are that there
is actually a need for some of these illegal immigrants
who are you know, they're in the country illegally, they
want to get out, There is a need for them
to pay someone. They can't just walk over the border
and say are bad. We shouldn't have been here. It's
it's really like that.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
And it depends on where they're going, right, So, if
they're going into Nuelo Laredo, they probably going to need
to pay someone or they're going to get kidnapped. If
they're going you know, if they're going into somewhere in
the Big Bin sector, or if they're going into you know, Tijuana,
they're probably fine. It just depends. If they're going into
(10:32):
you know, from Eagle Pass to to Piantadas Megadas right
in Mexico, they're probably fine, But it depends where they're going.
And but some places, most definitely they would, Yeah, most definitely.
But see a lot of people who are here have
not been deported yet, right, And so if they leave voluntarily,
(10:54):
then if there's a different administration in the future, then
they can come back and turn themselves in. But if
they get to ported did, then it's gonna make it
very complicated for them to turn themselves in. They're just
going to be sent right back, you know. So they
want to be here without ever having been deported so
they can maybe come back right.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Interesting, So on one hand, they want to make sure
that there aren't legal repercussions later, and then on the
other hand, they don't want to get kidnapped by criminals
out there.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's so much more.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Complicated than some people could even begin to understand, and
yet at the same time it all makes perfect sense.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
I mean, if I had to travel across Mexico from
the US border, do they Guatemala border, I would absolutely
and I had to do it by foot, I would
absolutely try to make sure that I paid someone who
would avoid me being kidnapped or killed by various cartels.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Absolutely, all right, So let's talk about this other thing
you guys are reporting on today, and this is a
this is a bigger story. Mexico extra diding Los Zeta's
cartel's supreme leader ahead of a meeting with you diplomats,
Mexico abruptly extraditing twenty nine cartel bosses to the US,
including a de agent's dea agent's killer. This is remember
(12:10):
in Mexico, the cartels influenced the government all the way
up to the tipsy tippy top of their own federal government. So, Brandon,
this is a pretty big news story. I don't know
if this is getting the attention it deserves.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
It's a gigantic news story. It's definitely getting the attention
it deserves in Mexico. But once again, traditional US media,
the legacy media we used to call left media, but
now you know, we'll just say legacy media. They don't
realize how big of a story it is. I mean,
the Washington Post reported, everybody reported it, but they don't
(12:43):
realize how how big of a game changer this is.
You know, the US government for the first time on
the world stage was like, Mexico is a narco state.
They're protecting these cartels because they make money from cartels,
and Mexico got put in macper position. Well, then the
US government starts talking about, hey, if you're not going
(13:03):
to give them to us, if you're not going to
hand them over, we're going to come get them. And
then some thulks were saying, if you're not in government,
if you're not going to hand them to us and
we can't come get them, then we might just use
a drone, right because they're terrorists. Now we declare them
as foreign terrorst organizations. So you know, when when that happens,
(13:24):
Mexico's put in a weird spot. Do they do They
just hold the line and continue being identified as a
Narco state, or do they do something to show that
they're going to play ball, especially when they realize those
people are going to get handed over anyways, they're going
to get taken anyways by the US because this no
longer is an issue for DEA, FBI or US marshals.
(13:46):
Now it becomes an issue for you know, Joint Special
Operations Command, right when their terror organization, so a foreign
terror organization. So you know, Mexico was putting a really
start spot in and you know, between a rock and
a hard place. And I think they made the right
decision with this. We'll see if they continue it. We'll
(14:07):
see if some of the active you know, like with
Lozetta's those two leader Supreme leaders, even though they were
in jail in Mexico, they were still running the show.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Right, that's a big deal that most people don't.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Know that tortured.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
There used to be one cartel really in Mexico, un
major cartel. It was called the Guadalajara Cartel. And this guy,
Carlos Kintaro was one of the bosses. So when the
DEA burned four billion dollars of his marijuana crops, right,
he kidnapped this DEA agent. He tortured him. He had
medical staff on hand to keep him alive so he
could torture him more. He reported it right, and the
(14:47):
US government was like, tell no. So ultimately what happened was,
at least in the majority of Mexico on the western portions,
they divided up their empire and said, okay, you run this.
You run this, you'd be this cartel, will be this
ti Tel, you'd be that cartel. Well then those cartels
started fighting right each other, and thus we have the
(15:07):
problems we have now. But this all started when Carlos
Cantero killed you know, dea special agent, Enrique Kiki Tambarino.
And when that happened, that changed everything. But they would
never give them to us. Right, he lived in luxury.
He was allegedly in jail maybe, but if he was,
it was you know, he's probably leaving and doing what
he wanted, and they would never give him to us.
(15:30):
His family never got justice all the way from nineteen
eighty five, and finally this big major figure who would
they would never hand over, they decided to hand him over.
It's unheard of what just happened. This is a moment
for cartels like like you know, there's this this former
mob guy named Michael Francis meant some people watch him
(15:51):
on YouTube and he's kind of famous. And he said,
you know when the US government, you know, did the
Rico act?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Right?
Speaker 7 (15:58):
When when when his underlings did no longer meant they
got in trouble, but it meant that he got in
trouble too. He said, That's really what did away with
the power of Italian mafia because people weren't facing five years.
All of a sudden, the whole organization, everyone was facing
three life sentences without the possibility of parole unless they
(16:18):
turned state witness. And everyone turned state witness because of
course you do right, and everyone would turn state witness.
And it really just did away with the power of
the Italian mafia in the US Italian American mob. And
this is that moment for Mexico.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I believe, boy Brandon, you explained that perfectly. And this
is very exciting news. I hop more people take it
as seriously as it should be taken. Hey, before we
get out of here, can I ask you about one
more news story this week that has nothing to do
with the border immigration, but I know it's a story
you've been following as a journalist and an activist and
a voter for quite a.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
While, that of the Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's been so many years since Jeffrey Epstein Mysterious died
in prison. I'm sure we all have similar theories about
what probably happened to him. And of course the story
of Giswayne Maxwell, his madam. She's now in prison for
a long time. The supposed Epstein files were partially released
this week to a bunch of social media influencers at
(17:19):
a White House press briefing, and that has become a
controversial thing. That was a bit misreported, some people saying
it was a publicity stunt, other people saying it was
just a coincidence that those social media influencers were visiting
the White House for a new media summit. The timing
coincided with Pam Bondi wanting to make a statement about
how the Southern District of New York FBI office is
(17:41):
withholding the Epstein files. They requested the Epstein files at
the White House, they wanted to publish them at the DOJ.
They wanted to share them with the world, but apparently
what would amount to I think in the FBI middle management,
the Southern District of New York saying they're gonna have Well,
they didn't say this that the White House clams the
Southern District of New York is hanging on to thousands
(18:02):
of files and documents and videos and photos and they
won't allow it to be released and Pam Bondi's going
to have to challenge them in court.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Now, what's your take on this?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is the White House dragging their feet or is it
actually the Southern District of New York that's preventing this
stuff from getting published? I know you don't know, but
you were a former FBI informant. If you had to
guess based on what you know about how the FBI works,
what's your theory.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Based on? Okay, so a lot of these things. What
the reasoning behind not releasing them? Even with MLK files
and stuff? The reasoning sometimes is that there are people
who are still alive who worked on those cases, right,
who worked undercover, who shared information, and it takes time
(18:51):
to redact and to get you know, to really sift
through inso and make sure you're not giving away someone's
identity who helped the f the I. So that's the
overt reasoning behind why if somebody from headquarters says, give
me that, why they might stall And that's the possible reason.
(19:13):
It could be that they're protecting people. But I'm pretty
sure if if the leadership of the country says that
a particular office is stonewalling and not giving him stuff,
it's probably true, you know what I mean. I can't
imagine that, you know, FBI director Cash Patel words that
I never sawt would come out of my mouth. But
(19:35):
I can't imagine that he would have put out the
tweet on Twitter. And yes, I still call it Twitter,
and that's what I'm gonna call it. I can't imagine that.
At best, I'll say twitter X, twitter X, you know,
but I'm not saying twitter. I'm not just saying X
because it sounds like when I say someone's on ecstasy.
It's not like I'm saying on ecstasy. And I'm not
going to say that, right because I'm from an age
(19:55):
group where X mental specific things.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I'm from the same time brandon X is a club
drug from the nineties, but now that's a social media platform.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
So anyway, but you were saying.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, so you know, he put out a very
strong statement. He didn't directly address you know SD and Y,
you know Sevendustry in New York. But he definitely, he
definitely said if anyone's doing this, we're going to investigate it.
And you know, so I have a very strong suspicion
that that's what's going on. I think that I think that,
(20:27):
you know, there are people who think that these guys,
they're wondering what they're going to do. They're wondering if
they're going to just burn everybody and reveal the names
of everybody, and so they're they're hesitant to hand things over.
But ultimately they're going to have to. And I don't
think there's any good reason other than a bunch of
powerful men are likely going to be named. I don't
think there's any good reason. I mean, you have like
like Israeli's former prime Prime Minister Ethid Baratt, this son
(20:51):
of a gun was like on Epstein's Yet thirty times.
You know, that doesn't mean he did it. He says
he was on there with his security and his wife, right,
But it just sounds real sketchy. And I think we
need to know these things. I think we need to
know who did this. I think that the victims deserve that,
and I think the American public deserves that.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
All right, Well, one more quick question.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
We only got a minute left because we went way
along on this, but I got to get your take
on this. Cash Battel has publicly said he's having discussions
with the with the with the UFC to get recently
retired UFC fighters to train FBI agents for hand to
hand combat. You're obviously very into mixed martial arts. You're
a former FBI informant. Uh cool, I think it's cool.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Here's what I think then. I think that you know,
there are a lot of things wrong back in the
day with the g men and with j Edgar Hoover,
but they were also facing extraordinary circumstances and challenges. I
think having a you know, a meaner FBI when it
comes to actual bad guys, and not a one that's
(21:57):
mean to people like me and you. If we're at
an a you know, protesting an abortion clinic or something,
I think that would be a good thing. And I
think that Cashpotel thinks that you got to remember, we're
in a situation now where where you know, people really
aren't you know, the bad guys really don't fear the
(22:17):
tough FBI, right, the FBI doesn't have that reputation right now.
It's an FBI where you know, they they had ten
millimeter handguns. They felt like it was too powerful, so
they they went to you know, they net down the
amount of powder in the charge in the bullet in
the rounds because so agents could handle shooting it. And
(22:39):
then from there they went to, you know, just kind
of down, down, down, because I like, it kicks too hard,
it doesn't feel good, and it's like, okay, you're supposed
to be the FBI, like like mana sprout a pair,
let's go, you know. And and so to me, I
think that's a great idea. I think to you know,
they do, from what I understand, received training and they
(23:00):
have something you know called the pit I believe where
they have a limited amount of training. But as someone
who right now I'm actually driving to my jiu jitsu,
imagine that I can tell you. I can tell you
that if you if you you know, what you learned
might kind of help you, but it doesn't really help
you unless you're still learning it and doing it. And yeah,
(23:23):
that's not like you guy to do. It's not like
you graduate from it. It's training you gotta always do.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
We got to run. We went way along on this.
That's Brandon Darby.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Follow him on X on Twitter, as he pointed out,
or check out his work at Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Millions of people look at it every day. You should too.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You were listening to Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness, where
everyone is welcome, even scum sucking meggot swallowing socialist bastards
you used to refer to as mom.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I grew up in the eighties, so when I hear
this music, I get chills down my spine.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I loved Star Wars as a kid.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I mean no, I you know. I was born in
the early eighties. Theres a little kid. I had the
Action figures, the toys, the the VHS tapes. Really enjoyed
Star Wars once upon a time. And when I learned
about what Disney was doing to Star Wars over the
last several years, like a lot of you.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It upset me.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It was like finding out that someone murdered one of
my childhood friends. Okay, maybe it wasn't quite that dramatic,
but what Kathleen Kennedy did to Star Wars was tragic.
Kathleen Kennedy's movie producer from Hollywood made everything woke and lame.
They make fun of her in an episode of South Park.
We played the clips for you on the show the
other day. Cartman pretended to be her, and he kept saying,
(24:34):
you make everything lame and gay. Put a black lesbian
and everything, even if it doesn't make any sense, like
what we're working on the new Bambi, Kathleen Kennedy put
up black lesbian in it. Make her lame and gay,
Like okay, all right, we get it. Then we learned
that she was stepping down from her role as the
person in charge of Lucasfilm. Well, we all celebrated. We
(24:57):
were thrilled to learn that. And if you're one of
those people that it was excited about it, here, get
ready for a little bit of whiplash, because I got
some bad news. Breidbart dot com today reporting on how
the best news Star Wars fans have received since we
watched and discussed as Luke Skywalker tossed away his father's
lightsaber in the Last Jedi is that Lucasfilm would dump
(25:20):
franchise serial killer Kathleen Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
By the end of this year.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, once again, Kennedy has decided to crush the hopes
and dreams of Star Wars fans by announcing that she
is not retiring. According to John Nolty at Breitbart dot Com,
all the news about her retiring was fake news, So sorry,
bad news, or is it?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
There's this article in far left Deadline. Did you read Deadline?
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's a news outlet about Hollywood, and they clearly have
a political agenda. If you go down about six paragraphs
in the article, Deadline shamelessly sucking up to Kennedy says
the following. They say, Kennedy arguably is the most successful
female producer executive in Hollywood history, a first ballot Hall
of Famer, not someone who deserves to be batted away
(26:04):
like a pinata. That is some corporate speak, and it
is off the charts.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The whole interview is premised on the news of her
retirement as Lucasfilm boss being fake news. So here's her
answer to the first question she says that she says,
quote the turnuthend is I want to just say loud
and clear, I am not retiring. I will never retire
from movies. I will die making movies. She goes on
to say, I'm not retiring. She says, it's like, all right, okay,
(26:31):
but then we get this. She says, quote, what's happening
at Lucasfilm is I have been talking for quite some
time with Bob and Allen about what eventual secession might
look like. Well, oh, oh, so you're not like just
quitting tomorrow. Sounds a little like she's tiptoeing away from it.
She goes on to say, quote, We'll probably make an
(26:52):
announcement months or a year out, and I have every
intention of sticking around to help that person be successful,
successful in what the change here is Kennedy stepping down
as Lucas boss months or a year out. And then
at the end of the interview, when I asked if
she'll exit as Lucasfilm's boss this year, she says, quote,
we rarely don't know at this stage.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
There's so much going on.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
So the Disney Grooming Syndicate, the company that wants to
trans your child, is looking for a successor somebody to
take over Lucasfilm. She could be gone by the end
of the year, but it's still fake news that she
could be gone by the end of the year because
we don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They don't know. It's not definite.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
When you read the interview, you can actually hear the
echo that comes from the interviewer being stuck so far
up Kathleen Kennedy's ass, Well, you get the idea.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
If I were you, I'd stay put Kenny.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
You'll be right back with more of what you came for.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Far jokes. Do you remember a while back before we got.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Out of here, You remember a while back up in
the Dallas four I mean this was several years ago,
there was a Texas Sharia court.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I mean it was a Sharia court. It happened to
be in Texas.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Nothing there was nothing about it that made it Texas
except the fact that it was in Texas and the
government had to step in. People had to make a
point here and said, you can't have a Sharia court
in Texas.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You can't have a court.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
It was an Islamic tribunal court, and so the government
had to step in and shut that down. This happened
several years ago, and people were shocked to learn that
there were so many Muslims with extremist beliefs in the
state of Texas. Well, we have an update to that.
We now returned to Sharia Dallas only on CMT.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Paslam Lanka, my brothers. The first Tribunal Court of Texas
Sharia laws ready to begin.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Ala Akbar, Ala Akbar.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Judge roy A La Maine, you're the best gosh don
Sharia Judge West the peykoast jee.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
I sure do like being a Muslim. What's on the
roster for Sharia court today, my fellow e moms.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I'll tell you what, I got a bone to pick
with that eyeboo billy Joe's a car.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
He done stole my good hunting boots and never brought
him back.
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Can you believe that ala ag Bar Alakbar, Alagbar, I
did not I dune war Moon hunting boots mock mood
Ricky Bobby bag Doddy and you know that.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Well, I reckon, you're gonna have to prove you didn't
steal them boots, al Akhbar.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Well, no, I ain't got no proof, I bar weal.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Then I reckon, we're gonna have to chop off that
left hand of yours, since that's the hand you took
them boots with.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Dag I really like that hem too, Well, that sells it?
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Then, well, chop off Abu Billy's Joe's that Carr's left
hand and all we'll be right with Alla.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh wait a second, you guys aren't really gonna cut
off his hand? H I mean, isn't that illegal? Can
you guys really do that?
Speaker 9 (29:52):
Well, that's the thing, uh Hasanri Wiley, this Saria court,
it's all voluntary, voluntary mean voluntarily letting them cut your
hand off?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Well, sure, it's part of my islavic faith. I lock
bar I whack bar, I lack bar alack bar.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Life is a terror rist is really led back.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
You're finding the data. Give us head a big back.
See ye still to just shut them in the back
take a lot.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Boy.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
There's once a time on this radio show where we
would play really just tasteless comedy bits all the time,
and I guess those times haven't changed much anyway. As
it turns out, Houston and Dallas, we've been competing with
each other to see who has the most Islamic extremists
living in our backyard, and I think Dallas is beating us. Houston.
We got to step it up. These are rookie numbers.
They're gonna have a thing up in the Houston. The
(30:41):
Dallas Fort Worth area soon called Epic City Epics. You
know who's here to health explain this to us. Tony
Ortiz current Revolt dot com, one of the most controversial
men in political news media in the state of Texas. Tony,
are you getting a mortgage right now? You must be
buying a big house there.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah, speaking of taste, here's Tony Ortiz.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Right, yes, yeah, well, insa, I will get a community
over in the Sharia community uh in North Texas.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
But yeah, it's it's made ways because this is comedy,
is like, it's it's specifically targeted towards towards the Muslims.
And the bigger problem, the potentially the legal problem, is
they've they've stated explicitly that they are not going to
give property to anyone who doesn't fit their or their
their kind of their their values and their ethics.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So it really I jokingly when I saw this ad
on social media. It's a video of two Muslim guys
talking about how great it'll be to live in Texas
while they're saying things with their Arab talk or whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And it's a it's very well produced video, looks like.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
It's very you know, professionally produced by some real estate investors.
But it's clearly Look here here's the clip right now,
let me play a little of this a.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
Heat what a Botkatt, Brothers and sisters. I'm sure many
of you have heard of the amazing project that we're doing,
known as Epic Cities. We are hamdlin La constructing an
entire city half an hour from downtown Dallas, literally thirty
minutes from our own Plano message over here.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Okay, I won't make people watch the whole thing, but
it's exactly what we just described, Muzzlim activists establishing an
Islamic city in Dallas. I at first thought that we
people were exaggerating about this, but Tony, it really is
what it sounds like.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Yeah, yeah, here's the thing. Like, if the Christian community
or Mormon community or Baptist community had decided to you know,
be explicit about this and say, oh, this community is
just for you know, ex religious group, people would call
it a cult. They'd be calling it for to shut
down and be investigated, blah blah blah. But you know,
being in an Islamic community, you're seeing a little less outrage,
especially from the last Now, the rights all over this,
(32:48):
and it's definitely a concern. You know, it's Jeff represented
Jeff Leach and if that's his area relatively, and he's
you know, actually he's penned the letter to Attorney General
Knpax and asking him to investigate, saying it's violating some
laws that are in place.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, it does sound a little bit like housing discrimination laws,
that sort of thing. I mean, we created these laws
years ago to protect black people, and then as time passed,
suddenly you realized some of these laws could protect other
groups we never thought we'd have to protect. It's kind
of like Title nine stuff. Do you remember when the
Wonder Woman movie came out and there were people that
(33:25):
were trying to do screenings of the Wonder Woman movie
that were just for women, and so men showed up
at the screening saying, it's that's illegal.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
You can't you have to let me with Gal gadded
in it.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, red steat watch that one. Steven L.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Miller is a funny author and conservative character on Twitter.
He went to one of the screenings and they begrudgingly
had to let him in because it would be against
the law not to. Isn't that amazing how that really
flipped on him, didn't it.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Yeah, I think he had the same thing with was
the Hooters and like male waiters or waitresses or trans
wadors or whatever.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Yeah, I know South for chapter chapter eleven though whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, no, wonder that's not going well. I'm against that.
Segregated communities. I'm against all any religious gender. I think
it's bad. That being said, have you ever heard of Orania?
This is terrible. I think it's terrible that what I'm
about to tell you is true. I don't endorse this,
but in South Africa there is one single community for
(34:26):
whites only.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's called Orania.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
O r A n i A is a small controversial
town in post apartheid South Africa, and sadly, and it
really bothers me to tell you this, it's one of
the only communities in South Africa that doesn't that isn't
overrun with crime and poverty right now, which.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Which it sounds like a horrible place.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I'm against it. I think it's bad.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
But all right, I'll that Bed said, let's get out
of South Africa for a minute. And the racism there
or the racism in DFW. There's a lawmaker in the
state of Texas named Cole Hefner. For those that don't know,
he's a state and he has a history of being
accused of doing some unsavory things. His wife is a
woman named Carrie Heffner. I don't know her. Maybe she's
(35:09):
a nice person. I have no idea, But Cole is,
according to some reports I've read online, not the most
honest guy about his private life.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Well, you know, you know, years ago, there was some
text messages that came out between Representative Taffener and Representative
Lacey Hole that had that were a little explicit. But
now recently we've published a video that seems to show
some interesting things. So in the video, there's they're Representative
(35:39):
Heffner and this this woman, this blonde woman or at
a party that was held in Austin and there was
some other state reps there. It's some other official people.
And in the video it shows this blonde woman leaving
the party and entering Cole's car without him and then
waiting around for five minutes or so, and then later
(36:00):
on collage is the car and then they leave together.
And it's very interesting and its a lot of people
asking questions as to you know why, why is that
state rep is attending a party this late without his wife?
But you know, as they say, what happens is in
Austin stays in Austin, right or is that Vegas? I
can't I get the two confused.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Well, yeah, right, exactly. But that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
If this was like, I don't care about Elon Musk's
personal life, I don't care. I don't care about the
personal lives of celebrities, doesn't affect me. But if someone's
a lawmaker, especially a lawmaker from my community, this actually
does matter. These people can be compromised, blackmailed, extorted. This
this makes it is there a possibility this could be
affecting how he's voting, knowing that someone out there might
(36:43):
have information or dirt on the guy.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
Well, that's what's interesting. The video that we got is
very old. I want to say it's from twenty twenty three,
so is at least at least a year and a
half old. And so what makes me wonder is who
who filmed this thing and why they fat on and
why we're just now getting right. That's that's the real
question is and these lawmakers, the biggest thing is the
(37:07):
hypocrisy right, they'd advertised themselves as Christian right when conservatives,
and then they lived their lives different ways. And plenty
of lawmakers do this, I mean, you know, and and
their constituents forgive them. I love Donald Trump, the guy's
probably a flander, right. Ken Paxson, greatest attorney general in
the United States, definitely has had issues with his marriage.
You know, you can go on and on, but people
(37:28):
don't really care about this stuff because politics has devolved
into red team versus Blue team. And as long as
my guy is voting for things that I support, I
really don't care if he's out, you know, daily dattling around, right,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I care if they've been blackmailed, you know what I mean.
But in Trumps, in Trump's case, I mean, at that point,
if there's such if they're so successful that everyone knows
about it, and they still don't care, and then at
some point I think it doesn't matter, right.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Yeah, it's just kind of like, uh, it just doesn't
It just doesn't matter anymore, you know, it it matters
to maybe their spouse maybe, right. I think a lot
of these cases, especially in politics, a lot of these
spouses kind of let their husbands or whatever, do whatever
they want as long as as long as they don't
hear about it, or as long as doesn't affect their
daily life.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
All Right, lightning around on the rest of these topics,
because we went on a little long on those first
two stories. Travis County Republican Party chairman, there's controverary for that.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
You know, Travis County, Austin.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Obviously, it's it's an odd place because it's one of
the most important and simultaneously least important places in the
state for Republicans because we control nothing in Austin, even
though it's the state capitol. What's all this about the
chairman of the Travis County Republican Party resigning.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Yeah, the party chair resigned, Matt mccoveac. You know, he
claims he wants to spend more time with his family
and focus on making money. But you know, people were
bringing up questions and they brought it up to us
that you know that they felt that he maybe didn't
spend too much time really focusing on the party itself
when he was there during his tenure. You Know, we
in our report, we ran a bunch of numbers and
(39:00):
we found that, you know, he has a bunch of
these organizations that he's connected to, packs and different organizations
and companies, and you know, a lot of the money
that was being spent in uh from Travis County from
the party was going to organizations or people that were
you know, associated with m Kovak, and so people were
just wondering, you know, is are we paying for things
(39:20):
that are just kind of subsidizing these organizations. And to
make matters a little more interesting, you know, the Travis
County Republican Parties headquarters shared a suite with two of
m Kobak's other companies, which is kind of weird to
me and seems like a conference of interest. Now, Mkoviak
released a statement this morning to me and stating that
you know that it's all, you know, nonsense, and that
(39:41):
he didn't really focus on the party and that you know,
they they all voted and came to an agreement that
they would share that office space, and he did inform
the party, or at least the party to decide that,
you know, come come. I think I think March first,
which would be tomorrow, that they would be leaving that
headquarters and that shared space. But it's all just very
odd to me. But you know. Yeah, money and politics
(40:02):
are streams. Bitfellow.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, And of course when something doesn't make sense or
seems suspicious, there's usually a reason why. And that brings
us to our last story here. Character. You and I
have both taken an interest in a woman. I don't
know if i'd call her a young woman because we
don't know how old she is, uses a fake profile
photo on social media while she runs for Congress against
Dan Crenshaw. Now, I just want to establish something here
(40:27):
before we get into this conversation, Tony. I am no
fan of Dan Crenshaw. I've been criticizing him since twenty nineteen,
way before it was cool to dislike the guy.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Would you agree or disagree with that?
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Absolutely? And I'm in the same boat there. I've been
highly critical of him as well.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
So we need a good primary candidate for Dan Crenshaw.
So there's this woman. She's all over social media. She
calls herself Chrissy Ann Chrissy. You're like, well, probably thinking,
what's her last name? An? No, No, she has no
last name. Her name's just Chrissy Anne, like share or something.
And she is Yeah, and she uses what is obviously
an AI generated profile photo it's not really her. It's
(41:04):
a picture a computer created of what she might look
like if she was better looking. Now you know, he says,
I'm not trying to disrespect people for being fat or
overweight or wrinkly or whatever. But she kind of looks
like all of those things in real life. And the
reason we know that is because last night I met
her at the Cypress tea party event where she was
answering questions she couldn't address. You and I have figured
(41:26):
out a few things about this woman.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I guess you could list them off here. We don't
know where she's from, how old she is. Have you
ever found any record of her voting in the state
of Texas, much less a primary.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
No tried to win. Her voting record is She claims
that it's protected because she's a victim of domestic violence,
and that could very well meet to be true. But
here's the problem I have, Kenny, and I think that
you know she's It's a big fault on hers for
not being not realizing this is that she has decided
to enter a congressional race. She is now a public figure.
Her life is going to be thrown under microscope. So
(42:01):
she should expect, anticipate, and proactively be more transparent about
her private life or about her life in general, right
where she comes from, her voting record, what she believes,
who she is, furthermore, her name, and maybe her real face.
But instead, she's gotten incredibly agitated by people asking these questions,
even you, so much so she said she threatened to
(42:23):
sue you.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Yeah, threatened to assume me, and encouraged her followers on
social media to kick my ass.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Whatever. I'll be fine. I got blocked. Did you? Has
she blocked you?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (42:34):
No? She has? And and you know, here's the thing, like,
she's got all these followers on x and you know
she's gonna make this run. She'll she'll pull maybe one
percent against Crenshaw. And then this is where I'm frustrated.
You know, Crenshaw deserves a good primary opponent, We deserve
Texas deserves a good replacement for Dan Crenshaw. But we
keep throwing these trash candidates at him, expecting one of
(42:56):
them to stick, and then they lose, and then we
complain for the next couple of years that Crenshaw, you know,
still in office. She's she's not a good candidate. She doesn't.
She has no business running. She needs to drop and
they need to figure out somebody else better to run
for that district.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
I would love if we had a good primary candidate.
I will say this though, just you know, pros and
cons of everything. If there's enough bad candidates in a
primary and there's one decent candidate taking on a corrupt incumbent,
is that a way to get to like? Is Chrissy
Ann sort of what's the word I'm looking for? Like
a useful idiot wherein we all know she's not gonna win,
(43:32):
but she might get just enough votes and help out
a better candidate to get to a runoff with Crenshaw.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
And then, if so, who would that be?
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Well, the useful parts of her debate, the idiot part's
probably pretty accurate. As far as an actual candidate that
can run against Crenshaw, I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (43:49):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
You know, people aren't people aren't really happy with his run,
But man, there's been yet to be somebody very serious
that it's stepped up to the plate.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
I I despise politicians. People ask me sometimes, like Kenny,
you criticize them all the time. Why don't you run?
I would rather slit my wrists and jump off a cliff,
and I would hate. First of all, the only way
to I already have a good paying job, and if
I wanted to the only way to make money doing
that is to do stuff that's corrupt. I'd rather have
a good paying job without the corruption than have to
go do that. How do you find a good candidate,
(44:22):
especially in District too, it's a very specific place. I
don't know. I mean, I've never done it, But how
do you find somebody? It's hard to vat. It's easy
to figure out when someone's corrupt. How do you figure
out when they're not?
Speaker 5 (44:35):
Yeah, I think I think everybody's got skeletons and it
eventually just comes to service. It just matters how bad
those skeletons are, right, So go figure out how they're
going to find a good candidates for that area, especially
one with the money to run against Grimshaw.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Yeah, it's too bad someone like I don't know, George
Santos doesn't move to District too.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
You know what I mean, Tony, you do awesome work.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
I know there's a lot of people in the media
that don't like you, but I'm not one of them.
I think Tony Ortiz is. I think he's useful and
he's not an idiot. I think Tony Ortiz is a
