Speaker 1 (00:00):
Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A Suit of
Happiness on your radio toel just as cheeseburgers libries at.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, recorded an acoustic version
of the song get Low with t Paine. He did
it as a gift to his wife. Apparently his wife
just filed for divorce. I gotta think, or at least
that's the next.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Thing that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hi, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for joining us. It's a Monday.
I hope you had a fun weekend. You probably you
probably did not have fun if you watch that Tyson
Paul fight.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
But that's besides the point. You're here. That's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The big news of the day, I got to assume
is Trump's cabinet picks. We'll talk about them quite a bit.
Christian Collins is stopping by from the Texas Youth Summit.
Holly Hanson will be here from the Texan Do News.
It's a conservative news outlet. And well, since I mentioned it,
let's start with this. As a lot of you know,
there's a few things I just can't stop talking about
I can't stop talking about my French bulldog.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
His name's Milton. I love Milton.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I often talk about how I lift, and if you're
new to the radio show, you probably didn't know. But
the fact that I'm Catholic, that's a card I play
quite a bit. It gets brought up on the show
from time to time. Pete hag Seth is the weekend
news anchor in the morning on Fox News. It's called
Fox and Friends First Weekend Edition. It's not exactly a
(01:33):
controversial talk TV show. It's it's one of those lights
if you never watched it, and I'm sure a lot
of you probably glanced at it before if you listen
to this radio show, but if you've never seen it,
it's a show where they do cooking segments and stuff
like that. It's that kind of a show like, hey,
it's you know, it's it's a college football season. We're
we're going to figure out what's the best kind of
(01:54):
hot dog for tailgating.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
That sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Pete Pete hagg Seth not exactly controversial, but he is
a twenty year military veteran. I think he was in
the infantry for a while, and it turns out, while
not exactly controversial, at least he shouldn't be, people have
found reasons to find him controversial.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
He has two tattoos.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
One of his tattoos is a Jerusalem cross, and the
other one is a Catholic phrase that means God's will.
And I'm told it's a word I've actually been saying
wrong my whole life. I always thought it was called
deuce vault.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's actually, uh, hang on a second here, I'm gonna
get the computer to pronounce it correctly for us. I've
always said the term was deuce vault, but I don't
speak Latin.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The actual phrase.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
In English, it's pronounced as deuse.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Vault deus vault, not duce vault deus vault.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And it means God's will, God wills it.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It's a Catholic expression.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It dates all the way back to the Crusades in
the year ten ninety two. It's not exactly controversial stuff.
The Jerusalem Cross is right on his chest. It's a
sign of his Christian faith. And for the record, daus
vault also God wills. It also a Catholic. It's a
Christian thing, more specifically Catholic and right now, the Democrats
(03:17):
with cable news punditry jobs are trying to convince America
that those are white supremacist things. And he's a white supremacist,
and he says, and I agree that those are not
white supremacist things. They are Catholic things. You know, how
we could get to the bottom of this real quick,
real fast. One of the leaders of the Democrat Party.
In fact, two of the leaders of the Democrat Party
(03:39):
claim to be Catholic, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. Why
doesn't somebody ask them what they think, you know, actual journalism,
That would be interesting. He's actually firing back now. He
says that these people don't care about my tattoos. This
is just anti Christian bigotry. And I think he raised
a good point. He's not wrong about that. I mean
(04:01):
that nobody knew that it was white supremacist stuff until
the Democrats decided it was white supremacist stuff five minutes ago.
And now they're fully convinced they have to stop Pete
Hegsath from taking over the Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
That's what you're worried about, you understand.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Right now, with this exact specific moment, the people running
our Pentagon are in bed with both China and the
military industrial complex. We just got a report today that
says the Pentagon lost nine hundred billion dollars, well, eight
hundred and twenty five billion, but who's counting that's almost
a trillion dollars. If the Pentagon said we lost a
(04:38):
trillion dollars, people would lose their minds. But they say
they lost eight hundred billion, and that's just enough in
federal spending talk that it doesn't sound like a lot
of money, But it is a lot of money. It's
an absurd a lot of money. There's no human being
alive that's ever had that much money before, So why
aren't people mad as hell? By the way, that's not
(04:58):
the first time that's happened. Has failed every audit for
the past seven years. Meaning this is a problem with
the Democrats. It's also a problem with the previous Republican administration,
which is also going to be the next Republican administration.
So for the record, I am being objective on this.
I'm not pretending this is just a Democrat problem. This
is a Washington, DC problem. Kurt Schlichter townhall dot Com
(05:22):
points out that while a lot of people were surprised
about the Pete Hegseth nomination. It's actually a pretty genius move.
Pete hag Seth is a decorated infantry major. He's a
long time morning talk show host, not exactly a controversial job,
and he'll be coming to the Pentagon to look closely
(05:44):
at how it's possible, among other things, that we lost
eight hundred million dollars. Pete hag Seth could be like
the next general patent, apply a jump boot to the
buttocks of our deadweight military, along with an injection of
combat arms leadership and attitude. The combat arms are different
(06:04):
than the other branches of the army. In case you
didn't know, and I didn't know this either, I read
this in the combat arms, particularly infantry, armor, calvalry, the
special forces, extremely aggressive and uncompromising leadership is the standard.
These are the folks who close with the enemy and
kill them. There's talk about how Pete Hegseth will need
(06:27):
to win over the DoD bureaucracy, but that's not what
combat arms officers like heg Seth do. He's not going
to be about winning over bureaucrats and flag officers. Commanders
command when the army gives you command of a unit.
You sign a memorandum stating that you are formally that
you formally assume command. When you put your signature, you're
(06:49):
John Hancock on that paper. You've got the job, but
you're not the commander yet. You're not the commander till
you take command. The Combat Arms is a land of wolves.
It's all predators. You better bring a whip and chair
because they will eat you alive. Of course, the Pentagon
is a land of wolves too, but these are fat,
toothless wolves, more concerned with their petty prerogatives and pending
(07:12):
pensions than the accomplishment of the mission. Pete Haggseth will
be a welcome addition to the Trump administration. Props to
Donald Trump for nominating Combat Arms Officer Pete Hegseth, a
leader who embodies the motto of the Army Infantry School.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That motto follow me.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
We're not passive aggressive like some people we know. This
is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
A ninety eight year old World War Two veteran name
Anthony Simeone finally got his high school diploma. When asked
what's next, he said, getting laid at the prom congratulations,
young man, how about that? In the meantime, King Charles
celebrated his seventy sixth birthday over the weekend. Shouted surprise,
(08:01):
and Charles said, what Harry got a job? Turns out no, Unfortunately,
we won't find out what happened at the seventy sixth
birthday party until season thirty six of The Crown. I'm
really looking forward to that. And King Charles is almost
as long in the tooth as he is in the years,
so I'm sure it'll be a good story. Hey, how
is a joy when people on the other side wake
(08:22):
up and they get it. Charles Barkley, not exactly a
textbook Republican, had a very interesting message for Democrats over
the weekend.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Okay, I want to congratulate President elect Trump. Okay, y'all
won fair and square. Sure, I want to congratulate you.
I want you to do the best for the American people.
Because I got the numbers here. Seventy five million people
(08:54):
voted for President elect Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Seventy one may people voted for Kamala Harris, so it's
not a contest in my eyes. Well, I want all
seventy five and seventy one million to be successful at
all Americas. He's the President of the United States that
I wish him nothing but the best. But we lost.
(09:20):
And I just want to say this to the Democrats.
I'm an independent who voted Democratic.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
This is crucial. Two minutes favor ship the up. Yeah, yeah,
I'm with it, man. You know, not Jen Psasse. You
remember her, Jen Saki's her real name.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
She's the former White House Press secretary painted a very
bleak picture of the state of the Democrat Party after
Trump's historical landslide.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Win.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Pasase's answer came during an interview she was on Meet
the Press over the weekend, which Kristen Welker. Kristen Welker
asked her how the party should chart their path forward
when President Biden leaves in January. Now, it's interesting enough
that this is it's always interesting that Jen, when somebody
gets to be a spokesperson for the Democrat Party but
(10:10):
also a member of the mainstream media. I know it's
weird to think of that, but yeah, I would say
a primetime talk show host on MSNBC probably is a
member of the mainstream media. That's a major cable news network.
It's owned by NBC, and so she does both of
those things at the same time, kind of like George Stephanopoulos.
She pretended to be an objective member of the media,
(10:30):
but then at the same time she also will ultimately,
you know, go out and pretend to be some kind
of a you know, a spokesperson for the Democrats, which
is funny. It's a very funny thing to do, to
do both of those at the same time. Anyway, so
(10:50):
Posasi's doing this interview and she said, look, I think
Democrats are in the wilderness, as you said just before,
and there's no clear leader of the party. Joe Biden
is going to be out of the office shortly. Kamala
Harris just lost the election. There are a lot of
governors and other people who might emerge maybe that we
don't know about yet, but there is no clear leader
of the party right now. Sas he said, that provides
(11:14):
the party with an opportunity for the people to decide,
you know, ultimately what comes next. You know, nobody's given it.
Nobody's given it, right, she says, you seize the mantler,
you don't. Are you going to be the person who
decides who's the right person or stand up against Trump.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Here's the actual audience.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Look, I think Democrats are in the wilderness. As you
just said before, there is no clear leader of the party.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Joe Biden is.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Going to be out of office shortly. Kamala Harris just
lost the election. There are a lot of governors and
other people who might emerge, maybe people we don't know
about yet, but there's no clear leader of the party
right now.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Look, I think Democrats are deposit positive.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
There's no clear leader of the party right now. Well,
that's true. Who is the leader of the Democrat Party?
It certainly isn't Joe. I don't think it's ever been Joe.
It's not Kamala. Who is the leader. The Democrats have
not allowed any open primaries, so it has been impossible
for anyone to emerge as a leader. That's really ultimately
what this boils down to. You guys didn't want to
(12:13):
have a fair primary, and now you don't really know
what voters want. It didn't seem like a big deal before,
but it kind of is a big deal, isn't it.
Let's talk a little bit about the new leaders of
the Republican Party. I gotta think Robert F. Kennedy Junior
had probably been the most controversial right now. Kathleen Sibelius
is the former secretary of the Department of Health and
(12:35):
Human Services.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
She doesn't like Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Robert F.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Kennedy Junior. She says taking over the position will cost
Americans their lives. Wh Why would it do that? Anybody knows?
Somebody actually know the answer to that. What is it about?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
What is it about? RFK Junior? It's so dangerous.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, they say he's gonna take away all the medicine
it's saving your life and we're all gonna get poisoned
and it's going to kill us. Okay, but that's not
really what he says he wants to do. What he
says he actually wants to do is take fluoride.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Out of drinking water.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And Joe Biden's own state department just came out with
a study that said, yeah, actually the floyd ide in
our drinking water might actually be making all the kids stupid. Oh,
Joe Biden's state department said that. Well, they said that
right before R. Junior came out and endorsed Trump. So
they published this study after decades of telling us fluoride
in the water's fine. Now they're saying it might actually
(13:32):
stunt the intellectual development of children. Well, that's pretty big
deal for a country that needs to compete against places
like China. I hope our kids aren't losing their ability
to form thoughts and sentences.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
It's terrifying. What else is he going to do?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You may have noticed over the weekend he flew to
the UFC fight with Elon Musk, Don Junior and Don Senior,
and on the plane they all ate McDonald's. And everybody
thinks that proves RFK Junior is a hipocrie. Actually I
think it makes the opposite point. It proves that OURFK
Junior isn't gonna outlaw fast food. He's just gonna ask
some of these big companies to stop putting chemicals in
(14:09):
our food that we can't pronounce. You know, you could
still buy McDonald's in Europe?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
But if you ever left a McDonald's cheeseburger and its
wrapper and it fell under the seat in your car,
and then you discovered it there months later, you might
be alarmed to learn that it hasn't actually molded at all. Huh,
why is that well. Strangely, all the chemicals that's in
the food, it affects your ability not only to digest
(14:35):
the food, but for the food to get moldy.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And believe it or not, you want your food to
be able to get moldy.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Because food that you can eat, that's edible, that contains
actual nutrients, it doesn't have a long shelf life. Fresh
healthy food. That's what this is all about. Have you
ever noticed when you go to other countries you don't
see fat people everywhere like you do in America, Or
if you do see fat people all over, they're almost
always Americans.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It's not a coincidence. I know.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Here in America we have different values and we celebrate
the all you can eat bffet. Maybe you don't see
all you can eat bfetes as often when you're vacationing
in Paris.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
But why does our food make us so much fatter
than their food does?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Wanting and here would probably be there's chemicals in it.
I assume I think it's at least a question that's
worth asking, right, Why is that the case?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Wouldn't you like to know? RFK Junior makes a lot
of good points here.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
As you're new head of the United States Department of
Health and Human Services. I just want to introduce myself
and let people know what they can expect. Many people
in this country think I'm some crazy kook, but I
just want to make this country healthy again. With that
in mind, here is what you can expect. Seed oils
are now banned. If you're caught, producing, consuming, or in
(15:53):
possession of any seed oils, you will be arrested instead
of being sent to jail. I have been in discussion
with Elon Musk to a new type of fat labor
camp where people walk on treadmills all day at a
reasonable pace, where the energy produced will be harvested and
used to supplement the power grid. Also making fun of
my voice or the fact that I have a worm
in my brain that ate a part of it and
(16:14):
died in my brain will also land you in the
fat labor camp. I will also be working with the
new head of the State Department, Marco Rubio, to ensure
that no work authorization is provided for anyone to come
to this country and deliver Uber Eats or door Dash.
You want to order that stuff, fine, but you're now
going to have to get off your fat ass and
pick it up yourself. You can expect fluoride to be
(16:36):
removed from our water system immediately and replaced with low
doses of ozembic and creatine. Testosterone replacement therapy will be
available for free to anyone wanting it. I want every
person in this country as jacked as I am. Finally,
I'm offering a one million dollar reward to anyone that
has any information that leads to the arrest and apprehension
(16:59):
of Anthony Fauci.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Our doctor told us the pills we took were just
a placebo. But he must not know what he's talking about, because, man,
those suckers worked. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh hi, greetings to those of you watching me on
social media, listening to us on the radio. I have
a guest with me in my studio right now. Let
me say I get these cameras to work. It is
local conservative thought leader, liberty minded activist mister Tom Glass
in the studio right now. Put that might in front
of your face there, Tom, Let the audience listen to you.
What's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
My brother?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Well, I'm trying to get ready for the Texas Legislative
session because we've got work to do to repair all
the damage done from the last four years in Texas
as well as in DC, and I figure I can
have a bigger impact in Texas than I can in DC.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Tom, you and I have something in common. We have
a lot in common.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Actually, both of us are very I would I mean
I would describe myself this way. I would think I
would describe you this way too, very reluctant Republican like
to me, I always dragged my feet about the fact
that it's a two party system.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Loved Ron Paul. I think in the first Irwin R.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Scheif was one of the first political books I ever read,
The Federal Mafia.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
A big fan of Harry Brown back in the day.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
And then right around the time when Trump started to
become the face of the Republican Party, I noticed the
faces of the libertarian movement became somewhat more collectivist, not
so much individual rights. We're kind of getting into the
weeds here about philosophy, but I think we could do
that on this show.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I am not a collectivist. I'm for the individual.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I think the individual is the most important, underrated, underdefended
minority in America. In a time when identity politics is
so important to everybody in our media, it's the individual
that the individual who doesn't have a religion or a race,
or an ethnicity or a gender or pronouns or is
that is the person that often gets thrown to the
(18:53):
wolves faster than you could.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Snap your fingers.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And so at the end of the day, the Republican
Party to me was the lesser a too evil. I
abandoned the Libertarian Party right around the time Trump got elected,
not because I thought he was a Libertarian, but because
I could see how he was anti war, anti drug war.
For the first time in decades, we had a Republican
leader that didn't care about gay marriage or any of
that stuff, didn't care what your skin color was, wasn't
(19:17):
concerned about invading the Mid East, And to me, I thought, well,
pragmatism versus principles, Trump seemed like a better party to
go to.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
He was sort of like a.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Christmas party at an office where you didn't think you
were going to have any fun, but you showed up
and they had eggnog and cookies and you actually kind
of enjoyed yourself, you know what I mean. You left
the Libertarian used to be one of the leaders of
the Texas Libertarian Party. And now I don't see you
having any association with those people at all. We did
it around the same time period, Right, We didn't discuss
it with each other, but you did that. I gotta
(19:48):
think for probably similar reasons.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I did it.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
The reason I went to the Libertarian Party to begin
with was because I was tired of the crony control
of the Republican Party of you know what, what has
essentially been the theme of the Trump campaign this time
around has.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
All right, you're good, I just want people to see
you on the camp. Okay, good?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
What uh?
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Was the theme of the Trump campaign this time around
was essentially Maga versus the deep state, and or another
way of saying, is the individual and freedom versus U
corporate control or corporatism and so uh. And that's what
exactly what's going on here in Texas. We have a
swamp in Austin too, and and we have a group
(20:35):
of people inside the leadership of the Republican Party in
the grassroots that are committed to our constitution and to
what the founders were. And you know, in the declaration,
it said, what's the purpose of argument is to secure
these rights, individual rights, unative rights, and that's been my
mission all along. And yeah, what I've discovered in the
(20:56):
libertarian parties, I had to fight people there too over.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
The vision what the party was going to be.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
And the people I was fighting their vision was the
collectivist vision and the anarchist vision, the type of stuff.
And what I concluded is if I'm going to have
to fight somewhere, fighting somewhere, that when you kept win,
it's significant. And the Republican Party, the grassroots and the
party leadership now is committed to a constitutional limited government,
(21:25):
individual rights versus a corporatist state swamp deal. And that's
why I'm back in the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I tend to agree on all those things.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I could not have been a Republican when Mitt Romney
and John McCain were the guys. When I was in
my early twenties, I attended the University of Illinois, Chicago,
where one of our professors was Bill Ayers, notable convicted
terrorist friend of Barack Obama.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
And I didn't know what I was.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
But as I walked around campus and met the anti
Israel activist and the anti capitalist activists and the alphabet people,
you know the LGBTQ mafia. I didn't know what I was.
I just knew I wasn't that. But I also wasn't
at the time a George W. Bush Republican. I didn't
care about gay marriage. I didn't care what brown people
and Muslim countries were doing. And I didn't see why.
(22:11):
You know, as mad as I was about nine to eleven,
it didn't make any sense to invade Iraq as a
man in his early twenties, that immediately didn't make any
sense to me. Fast forward now twenty years, the Republican
Party suddenly makes a lot of sense to me. For years,
we have heard people say, when is the libertarian moment coming?
When is the libertarian moment coming? And libertarians would say, oh,
it's Gary Johnson, it's this. It's that we now have
(22:34):
a president who's not a libertarian incoming. However, Ron Paul
is in discussion to be part of the Department of
Government Efficiency. Elon Musk, the libertarian who invented the space industry,
basically privatized it. Vi Vake Ramaswami I think I'm a libertarian.
I think I'm a Vivake Ramaswami Republican. When I hear
him talk. He's the only Republican besides.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Ramdass, Gaverard and RFK Junior. I mean it's a good
line up.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
I mean, he's just The realignment that has happened in
this campaign has just been one of the most joyous
things that has happened in a long long time in
the American politics.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I think this is the libertarian moment. The problem is this.
The problem is this John Cornyn. You've got guys like
John Cornyn stepping in and saying, oh, Matt Gates is
a problem.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Well, why is he a problem?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Well, this guy who's currently in jail for making accusations
against someone else says, Matt Gates is a predator and
we did an investigation.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Any proof of that.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
No, But kind of like Brett Kavanaugh, if you just
say it enough, it becomes the truth. You know, Clarence Thomas,
so many people that have been accused of this. I
don't think Matt Gates did anything wrong. I think if
he did, you know about it. But this isn't even
about Matt Gates. This is about John Cornyn telling us
at the beginning of last week, if we made him
Senate majority leader, he would confirm all of Trump's nominations,
(23:48):
he didn't become Senate Majority Leader, and now immediately mister
liberal Republican who helped Joe Biden pass gun control bills
and got booed by his own party at the twenty
twenty two Texas Republican Party Convention, is now trying to
stop Matt Gates, one of the great disruptors of our time,
from becoming the head of the Department of Justice, an
organization that recently investigated parents for getting mad at school
(24:10):
board meetings and and Catholics for attending traditional Latin mass.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Tom, that's the swamp. Matt Gates isn't the problem. John
Cornyn is the problem.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
He's anti Maga, He's never Trump, and he was trying
to tell us that he wouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And of course he is the very reason hit.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
His corporate dismantality is established mentality that will serve the
corporate interest and the big boys in the money against
the Constitution and the in the in the individual is
the very reason we had this conversation about where where
would we be comfortable? But now now that the party
and Trump has transformed the Republican Party as well, I mean, thanks, yeah,
(24:50):
and it's and the deal is Cornyn is on the outs,
just like uh Busby said in the past and impeachment
tru he said, the era of George Bush is over. Well,
the air of John Cornyn is over too, I hope.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
And so the thing is, it is hard. It is
hard to knock off somebody in a primary.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
But the.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
It's just it is just hard because they have so
much resources, so much name id and the people who
vote in the Republican primary, I would say, who live
their lives and just go about to their living and
don't listen to Kenny and other talk show hosts and
get the details of what's going on in politics.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
A lot of times don't know why they're doing it.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
They believe the ads that come out with the fiddle
and the ground, you know, the fiddle and he's the
real Texan and all that sort of stuff. And certainly
that worked in twenty twenty and it's gonna be harder
in twenty twenty six to knock him off. But in
my opinion, you apply pressure wherever you can. And that's
I think the reason I'm here today is because on
(25:56):
x I posted to you about the fact that Brian
Harrison inst State Brian Harrison, Conservative, a great guy, maga guy,
said he wanted to. He has already filed a bill
that will try to make it where the Texas legislature
can recall our US senators from the US Senate and
(26:19):
then have a special election to replace him.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Also an appointment from the.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Music to my ears. Now this has happened in other states.
People throw around words like can we impeach a judge?
Can we impeach a senator? Yeah, technically you can, but
recalling makes more sense, right, A recall makes more sense.
Impeaching would imply we could prove they broke the law.
Cornyn just sucks. I don't know that he's doing anything
illegal here. I mean he probably is, but kind of
(26:44):
like Menendez and you know, so many other people behind the.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Scenes, probably something's going on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
But at the end of the day, Cornyn needs to go,
just simply because he campaigned as a maga Republican, but
he behaves like John McCain. I would assume if Cornyn
wasn't a currently sitting senator for this date of Texas,
he would have campaigned against Trump, just like his friend
Mitt Romney. Or is John McCain or Liz Cheney or
so many of these other people. Yeah, all the neo
(27:11):
cons Nicky Haley, I don't even think is as problematic
as Cornyn is. So nobody's ever been recalled in the
state of Texas before. But they did it in California recently.
Newsom ended up winning the recall. Fine, whatever, But is
that crazy to think that in California. I mean, obviously
Gavin Newsom, he still won the recall, but the fact
that they'd even consider it. Can we do that in
(27:33):
Texas with our horrible senator?
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Well, in Texas, we do not have a recall law
for at any level, state or federal, And to my knowledge,
there has never been a bill passed in a state
that calls for recall of their federal officers, especially US Senate.
(27:56):
And so when I first heard this idea from Brian,
I mean, the first thing I said was this. I mean,
what I'm all about is trying to figure out how
the State of Texas can restore power to the people
of Texas and to our government and take it away
from federal the federal government. And I want to do
it in every way is creative ways as I can be,
(28:18):
or the way one of the ways I say it
is this, when you have a very a relentless, very
well funded, very powerful group of people who are spending
their entire lives figuring out ways to take away your freedom,
you have to be as relentless in your resistance and
as creative in your resistance as you can be. And
(28:39):
so what I was very fascinated with Brian Harrison's bill
because I thought, oh, that's cool. Well, as soon as
I posted about this, and several people came in and
linked to articles and said, oh, that that wouldn't be
permitted by the Supreme Court. And my deal is, well,
it's certainly permitted by the Constitution, because I understand the
tenth Amendment, okay, and I understand I've read the seventeenth
(29:01):
Amendment and I understand it.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
And the deal is what the seventeenth Amendment.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Said has changed the way we pick our Senate US
senators from having the legislatures of the state pick them
and to having the voters of the state pick them. Okay,
But the Constitution is silent on recall, okay. And so
if it's silent on recalls on people have said, oh, well,
if it's silent, that means you can't do it.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Well, no, I've read the Tenth Amendment.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
The Tenthment says, if a state is not prohibited from
doing something, or we haven't delegated the power to the
federal government to doing something, then we in the state
of Texas get to do what we want, okay.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
And so we do.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
Have the ability under the Tenth Amendment and the seventeenth
to be able to recall people when we replace them.
We're going to have to do it according to the
seventeenth Amendment, with an appointment by the governor and then
a fairly quick special election. But having that tool on
the table, just having the people of Texas discussed that
(30:03):
and maybe even going through the Supreme Court, which who
knows whether it we'll go. I know that if with
the Supreme Court rulings I've looked at our opinions I've
looked at along the way, leads you to believe that
we I think it's better than fifty to fifty a
shot that the Supreme Court would allow Texas to recall
our US senator legislatively. But the deal is that the
(30:27):
thing that the reason why we do that is it
puts pressure on corn In. You know, there's three ways
corn And can leave office. Okay, One, is he going
to decide to retire, to retire, retire immediately, which is
the best for me? Is the best case scenario save.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Us money in time? That'd beautiful.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
Sure he can decide not to run again in twenty
twenty six, creating an open seat, or he can run
again and then we defeat him in the primary in
twenty twenty six. And my deal is the more pressure
we put on him, the more likely it is that
either he won't run again, he may, he may after
being having this happened to him, that he didn't get
to be his lifelong goal, which is majority leader. He
(31:07):
could be just saying okay, I'm out of here. I
would love it to see it if he would just
say no, I'm not even gonna do this anymore, and
let the governor appoint somebody temporarily and then let the
people have a special election to replace him.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Let's put a pennant right there.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I'm talking to Tom Glass, a conservative thought leader liberty
activist from the state of Texas, one of the former
heads of the Texas Liberty, a libertarian party, actually one
of the sole people solely responsible for removing our last
terrible house speaker from office, Dennis Bond, and we'll tell
that story.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Hang on real quick, we'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Fortunately, is it one of those shows.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
I feel right never listening to you all again.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
But Suit of Happiness Radio, we are back.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
We're on the radio, but we're also streaming on social
media and we're playing Royalty Free me. That means that
we're That's what When we're on social media, we can't
play Nirvana and the Who, so instead we play generic
sounding electronic music as we don't get into trouble with
the social media gods, which has been a big problem lately.
I had Facebook tell me twice over the weekend I
(32:16):
did something wrong.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I thought, well, what did I do wrong?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
And then I clicked and it said it's very expensive
you ask people who would win the fight, Tyson or
Paul And I thought, that's a weird reason for Facebook
to tell me I violated a rule. But I don't
think that was the problem. I think they're just censoring
speech on social media. I think Facebook knows I'm a conservative,
I'm a liberty activist and I'm putting content out that
probably is against the liberal narrative, and so I get flags.
(32:41):
I got flagged for asking people who they had voted
for in the election. Really not very non controversial stuff
and nothing polarizing about that. But there's a reason that
this happens. In fact, our attorney general here in the state,
Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit against Facebook for censoring conservatives
on social media, probably a violation of section two thirty
(33:03):
of the Electronics Decency Act. Ken Paxton, our attorney general
in the state of Texas, files a lot of lawsuits
that you would probably agree with if you're a conservative,
and so I'm a big fan of Ken Paxton. I
like that he sued Pfizer. I didn't like the vaccine mandates.
I like when he goes after doctors for doing weird
experimental gender affirming treatments on teenagers and little kids. I
(33:24):
like when he sues the Biden administration. And if you
happen to agree with me on any of that stuff,
if there's any one single thing that Ken Paxton has
recently done as Attorney General of Texas that you enjoyed,
just know that John Cornyn tried to stop Ken Paxton
from doing those things. John Cornyn does not agree that
Ken Paxton is doing a good job. John Cornyn does
(33:44):
not agree with Ken Paxton's lawsuits against Pfizer or the
Biden administration, just like he doesn't agree with Matt Gates
being selected to be Attorney General of the United States
of America for Donald Trump. And so my guest right
now is this guy right here, Tom Glass, Conservative thought
leader activists.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Do you have a group that you represented or are
you just what is the group?
Speaker 8 (34:05):
The mom flagship group is Texas Constitutional Enforcement, and we
have a Facebook group and a page, and we have
a website Texas Constitutional Enforcement dot com RTXSE dot org
for short. I also have another group called Texas Legislative
Priorities on Facebook where we focus on implementing the legislative
(34:25):
priorities of the Republican Party Texas at our Texas Legislature.
And so we're hot and heavy getting ready for the
d L slave session. For both of those reasons, I.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Always try to remind people there's a reason I booked
these guests on my show. If you don't know Tom,
maybe you didn't know Michael Quinnsullivan before he became a
regular guest on this show. People like Tom and Mike
are Michael our dragon slayers. What they do is they
find bad politicians and they expose them and they end
their careers. And years ago that guy was Dennis Bonden,
our former House speaker. And you stood outside of one
(34:56):
of his fundraisers one time, and I guess say what
it cost fifteen thousand dollars for a playoff?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
It was a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
That's a lot of money for meat loaf, I think.
But people don't pay that absurd amount of money to
eat dinner with a politician because they want to have veal.
Why are they paying all that money to eat dinner
with a politician? Tom, Well, they call it.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
I think the economists call it rent seeking. Sometimes I
think another name for it, a better name for it,
is subsidy sucking. It's trying to get a favor from
the from a government to benefit yourself at the expense
of the taxpayer or your competitor, right, And that is
That's the way the game is played for the speaker
race in Texas.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Now.
Speaker 8 (35:37):
It's the way the game is played for lots of things.
But the speaker especially is kind of the king of
the cronies. He's the bagman for the cronies who takes
all their money and then doles it out to try
to keep power so that they can get the cronies
can get what they want out of the Texas legislature.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
We've got a So, yeah, the.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
Speaker is very important, and we're having a knockdown drag
out which is essentially replaying what happened in the Trump
camp this time, which is, you know, Maga versus the
deep state. Well, we've got grassroots versus the Austin swamp
going on with the speaker race right now in Austin, Okay.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
So that's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
And you guys have been very effective in the past
of removing corrupt politicians from state politics, which is something
that never happens. It's very hard to get local people
interested in state legislature. To those people that are already
interested in it or understand it, usually they have a
horse in the race, so they're willing to look the
other way when this guy's a little corrupt if it'll
help their guy. Grassroots activists get a lot of attention
(36:33):
on social media when it comes to national politics, but
when it comes to state or local it's almost impossible.
Now when you guys were getting rid of Dennis Bonden,
our last terrible house speaker in Texas before the current
terrible one, I asked you a question on this radio show.
I asked you who should we replace him with? And
you gave me a very good, honest, and somewhat disappointing answer.
You said, Kenny, I don't know who it should be.
(36:55):
I just know who it shouldn't be. And I kind
of feel the same way about Senator John cor I
don't know who we should replace him with. There's a
handful of guys I like, Wesley Hunt, May's Middleton, people
I trust from state politics, Chip Roy, for example, I
just don't like John Cornyn. Any of them would be
better than him. But what's the first thing we do
to get rid of this guy?
Speaker 8 (37:16):
Well, for me, personally, I'm the guy that stays focused
on the Texas legislature and figures out ways in the
Texas legislature and in Texas to push back on bad
federal stuff. And so for me, what I'm going to
work on is with Brian Harrison on trying to move
this bill forward. It allows us to recall US senators
(37:39):
to put pressure on him. That way, the way we
removed Dennis Bond and was we put pressure after pressure
after pressure on him until he decided that he was
not going to run again. And I'm hoping if we
do enough of the pressure on John Cornern now he
either will resign immediately just saying it's not worth it anymore.
I didn't get to be more jority leader. But which
is the reason I was hanging around here. I'm going
(38:00):
to go retire and be with my grandkids, or or
have we persuade him not to run again. And I
think part of that that pressure can be applied from
the Texas legislature by trying to get this recall in.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I want to show people something that really bothers me
about John Cornyn. And I'm doing this in real time
right now, so forgive me for not having this on
the screen already. But we often joke that some of
these politicians are not authentic Texans. Like we'll make the
joke that Dan Crenshawe is such a you know, authentic
Texan that his favorite country music singer is Keith Urban
(38:35):
or something like that, and then p everyone will laugh.
What I'm about to show you, guys on my screen
is a real photo. John Cornyn, who claims to be
born in Texas, who claims to be a root and
tutin red dirt Texas guy, thinks that this is what
brisket looks like. Tom, and I understand, of all the
reasons not to like John Cornyn, this should be the
least of our concerns. He's he's in bed with the
(38:56):
military industrial complex and big Pharma, and anyone in government
that's corrupt and evil and awful is probably his political ally.
I often make the point that he is every Democrat's
favorite Republican. But if all of that's lost on you,
then certainly shouldn't this convince you we need to get
rid of him? What the hell are we looking at?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Here? Is this catch up with meat loaf? He claims
that this is brisket, Tom, you grew up at Texas.
What is that? Well? I don't know, but I will
tell you this.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
The other thing he does is he has a fiddle
in a Texas fiddle playing in the background on his ads.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
I prove that he's a real texts. Sure, that's it.
Speaker 8 (39:35):
Yes, you know about my wife and I joke that
you know we if we go into BUCkies when we
can't go into BUCkies very often because if we see
something that has a Bevil Texas star on it, we're
gonna buy it.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I mean.
Speaker 8 (39:46):
And so if he plays a fiddle in the behind
the scenes on his ads, you've got to vote for him.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
You get tricked into believing it. That's right.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I'm with you, Tom, Tom Glass. Hey, I want everybody
do me a favorite. Tom Glass is on X said
the best place to follow you.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
I got to Tom G. Glass on X and on Facebook.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
We have Texas Constitutional Enforcement in Texas Legislative Priorities.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I love that. And that's all. I'll post links to
that right now on my ex account.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
And this is I just want to say, although this
concludes our conversation about this for today, this isn't the
end of talking about getting rid of Corning moving forward.
I got to think this isn't the last time he's
going to be a thorn in the ass of conservatives,
populous libertarians, the MAGA movement. So stay tuned for that.
Follow my buddy Tom Glass on X. In the meantime,
Hey to the rest of you, I love you all.
Have an awesome afternoon. We'll be back bright and early
(40:31):
tomorrow morning. For more of what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Hapiness Radio.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness radio is deluxe.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A Suit of
Happiness on your radio toel just as cheeseburgers libries at.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, recorded an acoustic version
of the song get Low with t Paine. He did
it as a gift to his wife. Apparently his wife
just filed for divorce. I gotta think, or at least
that's the next.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Thing that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hi, I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for joining us. It's a Monday.
I hope you had a fun weekend. You probably you
probably did not have fun if you watch that Tyson
Paul fight.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
But that's besides the point. You're here. That's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The big news of the day, I got to assume
is Trump's cabinet picks. We'll talk about them quite a bit.
Christian Collins is stopping by from the Texas Youth Summit.
Holly Hanson will be here from the Texan Do News.
It's a conservative news outlet. And well, since I mentioned it,
let's start with this. As a lot of you know,
there's a few things I just can't stop talking about
I can't stop talking about my French bulldog.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
His name's Milton. I love Milton.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I often talk about how I lift, and if you're
new to the radio show, you probably didn't know. But
the fact that I'm Catholic, that's a card I play
quite a bit. It gets brought up on the show
from time to time. Pete hag Seth is the weekend
news anchor in the morning on Fox News. It's called
Fox and Friends First Weekend Edition. It's not exactly a
(01:33):
controversial talk TV show. It's it's one of those lights
if you never watched it, and I'm sure a lot
of you probably glanced at it before if you listen
to this radio show, but if you've never seen it,
it's a show where they do cooking segments and stuff
like that. It's that kind of a show like, hey,
it's you know, it's it's a college football season. We're
we're going to figure out what's the best kind of
(01:54):
hot dog for tailgating.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
That sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Pete Pete hagg Seth not exactly controversial, but he is
a twenty year military veteran. I think he was in
the infantry for a while, and it turns out, while
not exactly controversial, at least he shouldn't be, people have
found reasons to find him controversial.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
He has two tattoos.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
One of his tattoos is a Jerusalem cross, and the
other one is a Catholic phrase that means God's will.
And I'm told it's a word I've actually been saying
wrong my whole life. I always thought it was called
deuce vault.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's actually, uh, hang on a second here, I'm gonna
get the computer to pronounce it correctly for us. I've
always said the term was deuce vault, but I don't
speak Latin.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The actual phrase.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
In English, it's pronounced as deuse.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Vault deus vault, not duce vault deus vault.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And it means God's will, God wills it.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It's a Catholic expression.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It dates all the way back to the Crusades in
the year ten ninety two. It's not exactly controversial stuff.
The Jerusalem Cross is right on his chest. It's a
sign of his Christian faith. And for the record, daus
vault also God wills. It also a Catholic. It's a
Christian thing, more specifically Catholic and right now, the Democrats
(03:17):
with cable news punditry jobs are trying to convince America
that those are white supremacist things. And he's a white supremacist,
and he says, and I agree that those are not
white supremacist things. They are Catholic things. You know, how
we could get to the bottom of this real quick,
real fast. One of the leaders of the Democrat Party.
In fact, two of the leaders of the Democrat Party
(03:39):
claim to be Catholic, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. Why
doesn't somebody ask them what they think, you know, actual journalism,
That would be interesting. He's actually firing back now. He
says that these people don't care about my tattoos. This
is just anti Christian bigotry. And I think he raised
a good point. He's not wrong about that. I mean
(04:01):
that nobody knew that it was white supremacist stuff until
the Democrats decided it was white supremacist stuff five minutes ago.
And now they're fully convinced they have to stop Pete
Hegsath from taking over the Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
That's what you're worried about, you understand.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Right now, with this exact specific moment, the people running
our Pentagon are in bed with both China and the
military industrial complex. We just got a report today that
says the Pentagon lost nine hundred billion dollars, well, eight
hundred and twenty five billion, but who's counting that's almost
a trillion dollars. If the Pentagon said we lost a
(04:38):
trillion dollars, people would lose their minds. But they say
they lost eight hundred billion, and that's just enough in
federal spending talk that it doesn't sound like a lot
of money, But it is a lot of money. It's
an absurd a lot of money. There's no human being
alive that's ever had that much money before, So why
aren't people mad as hell? By the way, that's not
(04:58):
the first time that's happened. Has failed every audit for
the past seven years. Meaning this is a problem with
the Democrats. It's also a problem with the previous Republican administration,
which is also going to be the next Republican administration.
So for the record, I am being objective on this.
I'm not pretending this is just a Democrat problem. This
is a Washington, DC problem. Kurt Schlichter townhall dot Com
(05:22):
points out that while a lot of people were surprised
about the Pete Hegseth nomination. It's actually a pretty genius move.
Pete hag Seth is a decorated infantry major. He's a
long time morning talk show host, not exactly a controversial job,
and he'll be coming to the Pentagon to look closely
(05:44):
at how it's possible, among other things, that we lost
eight hundred million dollars. Pete hag Seth could be like
the next general patent, apply a jump boot to the
buttocks of our deadweight military, along with an injection of
combat arms leadership and attitude. The combat arms are different
(06:04):
than the other branches of the army. In case you
didn't know, and I didn't know this either, I read
this in the combat arms, particularly infantry, armor, calvalry, the
special forces, extremely aggressive and uncompromising leadership is the standard.
These are the folks who close with the enemy and
kill them. There's talk about how Pete Hegseth will need
(06:27):
to win over the DoD bureaucracy, but that's not what
combat arms officers like heg Seth do. He's not going
to be about winning over bureaucrats and flag officers. Commanders
command when the army gives you command of a unit.
You sign a memorandum stating that you are formally that
you formally assume command. When you put your signature, you're
(06:49):
John Hancock on that paper. You've got the job, but
you're not the commander yet. You're not the commander till
you take command. The Combat Arms is a land of wolves.
It's all predators. You better bring a whip and chair
because they will eat you alive. Of course, the Pentagon
is a land of wolves too, but these are fat,
toothless wolves, more concerned with their petty prerogatives and pending
(07:12):
pensions than the accomplishment of the mission. Pete Haggseth will
be a welcome addition to the Trump administration. Props to
Donald Trump for nominating Combat Arms Officer Pete Hegseth, a
leader who embodies the motto of the Army Infantry School.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That motto follow me.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
We're not passive aggressive like some people we know. This
is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
A ninety eight year old World War Two veteran name
Anthony Simeone finally got his high school diploma. When asked
what's next, he said, getting laid at the prom congratulations,
young man, how about that? In the meantime, King Charles
celebrated his seventy sixth birthday over the weekend. Shouted surprise,
(08:01):
and Charles said, what Harry got a job? Turns out no, Unfortunately,
we won't find out what happened at the seventy sixth
birthday party until season thirty six of The Crown. I'm
really looking forward to that. And King Charles is almost
as long in the tooth as he is in the years,
so I'm sure it'll be a good story. Hey, how
is a joy when people on the other side wake
(08:22):
up and they get it. Charles Barkley, not exactly a
textbook Republican, had a very interesting message for Democrats over
the weekend.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Okay, I want to congratulate President elect Trump. Okay, y'all
won fair and square. Sure, I want to congratulate you.
I want you to do the best for the American people.
Because I got the numbers here. Seventy five million people
(08:54):
voted for President elect Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Seventy one may people voted for Kamala Harris, so it's
not a contest in my eyes. Well, I want all
seventy five and seventy one million to be successful at
all Americas. He's the President of the United States that
I wish him nothing but the best. But we lost.
(09:20):
And I just want to say this to the Democrats.
I'm an independent who voted Democratic.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
This is crucial. Two minutes favor ship the up. Yeah, yeah,
I'm with it, man. You know, not Jen Psasse. You
remember her, Jen Saki's her real name.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
She's the former White House Press secretary painted a very
bleak picture of the state of the Democrat Party after
Trump's historical landslide.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Win.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Pasase's answer came during an interview she was on Meet
the Press over the weekend, which Kristen Welker. Kristen Welker
asked her how the party should chart their path forward
when President Biden leaves in January. Now, it's interesting enough
that this is it's always interesting that Jen, when somebody
gets to be a spokesperson for the Democrat Party but
(10:10):
also a member of the mainstream media. I know it's
weird to think of that, but yeah, I would say
a primetime talk show host on MSNBC probably is a
member of the mainstream media. That's a major cable news network.
It's owned by NBC, and so she does both of
those things at the same time, kind of like George Stephanopoulos.
She pretended to be an objective member of the media,
(10:30):
but then at the same time she also will ultimately,
you know, go out and pretend to be some kind
of a you know, a spokesperson for the Democrats, which
is funny. It's a very funny thing to do, to
do both of those at the same time. Anyway, so
(10:50):
Posasi's doing this interview and she said, look, I think
Democrats are in the wilderness, as you said just before,
and there's no clear leader of the party. Joe Biden
is going to be out of the office shortly. Kamala
Harris just lost the election. There are a lot of
governors and other people who might emerge maybe that we
don't know about yet, but there is no clear leader
of the party right now. Sas he said, that provides
(11:14):
the party with an opportunity for the people to decide,
you know, ultimately what comes next. You know, nobody's given it.
Nobody's given it, right, she says, you seize the mantler,
you don't. Are you going to be the person who
decides who's the right person or stand up against Trump.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Here's the actual audience.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Look, I think Democrats are in the wilderness. As you
just said before, there is no clear leader of the party.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Joe Biden is.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Going to be out of office shortly. Kamala Harris just
lost the election. There are a lot of governors and
other people who might emerge, maybe people we don't know
about yet, but there's no clear leader of the party
right now.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Look, I think Democrats are deposit positive.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
There's no clear leader of the party right now. Well,
that's true. Who is the leader of the Democrat Party?
It certainly isn't Joe. I don't think it's ever been Joe.
It's not Kamala. Who is the leader. The Democrats have
not allowed any open primaries, so it has been impossible
for anyone to emerge as a leader. That's really ultimately
what this boils down to. You guys didn't want to
(12:13):
have a fair primary, and now you don't really know
what voters want. It didn't seem like a big deal before,
but it kind of is a big deal, isn't it.
Let's talk a little bit about the new leaders of
the Republican Party. I gotta think Robert F. Kennedy Junior
had probably been the most controversial right now. Kathleen Sibelius
is the former secretary of the Department of Health and
(12:35):
Human Services.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
She doesn't like Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Robert F.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Kennedy Junior. She says taking over the position will cost
Americans their lives. Wh Why would it do that? Anybody knows?
Somebody actually know the answer to that. What is it about?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
What is it about? RFK Junior? It's so dangerous.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, they say he's gonna take away all the medicine
it's saving your life and we're all gonna get poisoned
and it's going to kill us. Okay, but that's not
really what he says he wants to do. What he
says he actually wants to do is take fluoride.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Out of drinking water.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And Joe Biden's own state department just came out with
a study that said, yeah, actually the floyd ide in
our drinking water might actually be making all the kids stupid. Oh,
Joe Biden's state department said that. Well, they said that
right before R. Junior came out and endorsed Trump. So
they published this study after decades of telling us fluoride
in the water's fine. Now they're saying it might actually
(13:32):
stunt the intellectual development of children. Well, that's pretty big
deal for a country that needs to compete against places
like China. I hope our kids aren't losing their ability
to form thoughts and sentences.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
It's terrifying. What else is he going to do?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You may have noticed over the weekend he flew to
the UFC fight with Elon Musk, Don Junior and Don Senior,
and on the plane they all ate McDonald's. And everybody
thinks that proves RFK Junior is a hipocrie. Actually I
think it makes the opposite point. It proves that OURFK
Junior isn't gonna outlaw fast food. He's just gonna ask
some of these big companies to stop putting chemicals in
(14:09):
our food that we can't pronounce. You know, you could
still buy McDonald's in Europe?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
But if you ever left a McDonald's cheeseburger and its
wrapper and it fell under the seat in your car,
and then you discovered it there months later, you might
be alarmed to learn that it hasn't actually molded at all. Huh,
why is that well. Strangely, all the chemicals that's in
the food, it affects your ability not only to digest
(14:35):
the food, but for the food to get moldy.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And believe it or not, you want your food to
be able to get moldy.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Because food that you can eat, that's edible, that contains
actual nutrients, it doesn't have a long shelf life. Fresh
healthy food. That's what this is all about. Have you
ever noticed when you go to other countries you don't
see fat people everywhere like you do in America, Or
if you do see fat people all over, they're almost
always Americans.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It's not a coincidence. I know.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Here in America we have different values and we celebrate
the all you can eat bffet. Maybe you don't see
all you can eat bfetes as often when you're vacationing
in Paris.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
But why does our food make us so much fatter
than their food does?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Wanting and here would probably be there's chemicals in it.
I assume I think it's at least a question that's
worth asking, right, Why is that the case?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Wouldn't you like to know? RFK Junior makes a lot
of good points here.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
As you're new head of the United States Department of
Health and Human Services. I just want to introduce myself
and let people know what they can expect. Many people
in this country think I'm some crazy kook, but I
just want to make this country healthy again. With that
in mind, here is what you can expect. Seed oils
are now banned. If you're caught, producing, consuming, or in
(15:53):
possession of any seed oils, you will be arrested instead
of being sent to jail. I have been in discussion
with Elon Musk to a new type of fat labor
camp where people walk on treadmills all day at a
reasonable pace, where the energy produced will be harvested and
used to supplement the power grid. Also making fun of
my voice or the fact that I have a worm
in my brain that ate a part of it and
(16:14):
died in my brain will also land you in the
fat labor camp. I will also be working with the
new head of the State Department, Marco Rubio, to ensure
that no work authorization is provided for anyone to come
to this country and deliver Uber Eats or door Dash.
You want to order that stuff, fine, but you're now
going to have to get off your fat ass and
pick it up yourself. You can expect fluoride to be
(16:36):
removed from our water system immediately and replaced with low
doses of ozembic and creatine. Testosterone replacement therapy will be
available for free to anyone wanting it. I want every
person in this country as jacked as I am. Finally,
I'm offering a one million dollar reward to anyone that
has any information that leads to the arrest and apprehension
(16:59):
of Anthony Fauci.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Our doctor told us the pills we took were just
a placebo. But he must not know what he's talking about, because, man,
those suckers worked. This is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh hi, greetings to those of you watching me on
social media, listening to us on the radio. I have
a guest with me in my studio right now. Let
me say I get these cameras to work. It is
local conservative thought leader, liberty minded activist mister Tom Glass
in the studio right now. Put that might in front
of your face there, Tom, Let the audience listen to you.
What's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
My brother?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Well, I'm trying to get ready for the Texas Legislative
session because we've got work to do to repair all
the damage done from the last four years in Texas
as well as in DC, and I figure I can
have a bigger impact in Texas than I can in DC.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Tom, you and I have something in common. We have
a lot in common.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Actually, both of us are very I would I mean
I would describe myself this way. I would think I
would describe you this way too, very reluctant Republican like
to me, I always dragged my feet about the fact
that it's a two party system.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Loved Ron Paul. I think in the first Irwin R.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Scheif was one of the first political books I ever read,
The Federal Mafia.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
A big fan of Harry Brown back in the day.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
And then right around the time when Trump started to
become the face of the Republican Party, I noticed the
faces of the libertarian movement became somewhat more collectivist, not
so much individual rights. We're kind of getting into the
weeds here about philosophy, but I think we could do
that on this show.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I am not a collectivist. I'm for the individual.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I think the individual is the most important, underrated, underdefended
minority in America. In a time when identity politics is
so important to everybody in our media, it's the individual
that the individual who doesn't have a religion or a race,
or an ethnicity or a gender or pronouns or is
that is the person that often gets thrown to the
(18:53):
wolves faster than you could.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Snap your fingers.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And so at the end of the day, the Republican
Party to me was the lesser a too evil. I
abandoned the Libertarian Party right around the time Trump got elected,
not because I thought he was a Libertarian, but because
I could see how he was anti war, anti drug war.
For the first time in decades, we had a Republican
leader that didn't care about gay marriage or any of
that stuff, didn't care what your skin color was, wasn't
(19:17):
concerned about invading the Mid East, And to me, I thought, well,
pragmatism versus principles, Trump seemed like a better party to
go to.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
He was sort of like a.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Christmas party at an office where you didn't think you
were going to have any fun, but you showed up
and they had eggnog and cookies and you actually kind
of enjoyed yourself, you know what I mean. You left
the Libertarian used to be one of the leaders of
the Texas Libertarian Party. And now I don't see you
having any association with those people at all. We did
it around the same time period, Right, We didn't discuss
it with each other, but you did that. I gotta
(19:48):
think for probably similar reasons.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I did it.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
The reason I went to the Libertarian Party to begin
with was because I was tired of the crony control
of the Republican Party of you know what, what has
essentially been the theme of the Trump campaign this time
around has.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
All right, you're good, I just want people to see
you on the camp. Okay, good?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
What uh?
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Was the theme of the Trump campaign this time around
was essentially Maga versus the deep state, and or another
way of saying, is the individual and freedom versus U
corporate control or corporatism and so uh. And that's what
exactly what's going on here in Texas. We have a
swamp in Austin too, and and we have a group
(20:35):
of people inside the leadership of the Republican Party in
the grassroots that are committed to our constitution and to
what the founders were. And you know, in the declaration,
it said, what's the purpose of argument is to secure
these rights, individual rights, unative rights, and that's been my
mission all along. And yeah, what I've discovered in the
(20:56):
libertarian parties, I had to fight people there too over.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
The vision what the party was going to be.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
And the people I was fighting their vision was the
collectivist vision and the anarchist vision, the type of stuff.
And what I concluded is if I'm going to have
to fight somewhere, fighting somewhere, that when you kept win,
it's significant. And the Republican Party, the grassroots and the
party leadership now is committed to a constitutional limited government,
(21:25):
individual rights versus a corporatist state swamp deal. And that's
why I'm back in the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I tend to agree on all those things.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I could not have been a Republican when Mitt Romney
and John McCain were the guys. When I was in
my early twenties, I attended the University of Illinois, Chicago,
where one of our professors was Bill Ayers, notable convicted
terrorist friend of Barack Obama.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
And I didn't know what I was.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
But as I walked around campus and met the anti
Israel activist and the anti capitalist activists and the alphabet people,
you know the LGBTQ mafia. I didn't know what I was.
I just knew I wasn't that. But I also wasn't
at the time a George W. Bush Republican. I didn't
care about gay marriage. I didn't care what brown people
and Muslim countries were doing. And I didn't see why.
(22:11):
You know, as mad as I was about nine to eleven,
it didn't make any sense to invade Iraq as a
man in his early twenties, that immediately didn't make any
sense to me. Fast forward now twenty years, the Republican
Party suddenly makes a lot of sense to me. For years,
we have heard people say, when is the libertarian moment coming?
When is the libertarian moment coming? And libertarians would say, oh,
it's Gary Johnson, it's this. It's that we now have
(22:34):
a president who's not a libertarian incoming. However, Ron Paul
is in discussion to be part of the Department of
Government Efficiency. Elon Musk, the libertarian who invented the space industry,
basically privatized it. Vi Vake Ramaswami I think I'm a libertarian.
I think I'm a Vivake Ramaswami Republican. When I hear
him talk. He's the only Republican besides.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Ramdass, Gaverard and RFK Junior. I mean it's a good
line up.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
I mean, he's just The realignment that has happened in
this campaign has just been one of the most joyous
things that has happened in a long long time in
the American politics.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I think this is the libertarian moment. The problem is this.
The problem is this John Cornyn. You've got guys like
John Cornyn stepping in and saying, oh, Matt Gates is
a problem.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Well, why is he a problem?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Well, this guy who's currently in jail for making accusations
against someone else says, Matt Gates is a predator and
we did an investigation.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Any proof of that.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
No, But kind of like Brett Kavanaugh, if you just
say it enough, it becomes the truth. You know, Clarence Thomas,
so many people that have been accused of this. I
don't think Matt Gates did anything wrong. I think if
he did, you know about it. But this isn't even
about Matt Gates. This is about John Cornyn telling us
at the beginning of last week, if we made him
Senate majority leader, he would confirm all of Trump's nominations,
(23:48):
he didn't become Senate Majority Leader, and now immediately mister
liberal Republican who helped Joe Biden pass gun control bills
and got booed by his own party at the twenty
twenty two Texas Republican Party Convention, is now trying to
stop Matt Gates, one of the great disruptors of our time,
from becoming the head of the Department of Justice, an
organization that recently investigated parents for getting mad at school
(24:10):
board meetings and and Catholics for attending traditional Latin mass.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Tom, that's the swamp. Matt Gates isn't the problem. John
Cornyn is the problem.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
He's anti Maga, He's never Trump, and he was trying
to tell us that he wouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And of course he is the very reason hit.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
His corporate dismantality is established mentality that will serve the
corporate interest and the big boys in the money against
the Constitution and the in the in the individual is
the very reason we had this conversation about where where
would we be comfortable? But now now that the party
and Trump has transformed the Republican Party as well, I mean, thanks, yeah,
(24:50):
and it's and the deal is Cornyn is on the outs,
just like uh Busby said in the past and impeachment
tru he said, the era of George Bush is over. Well,
the air of John Cornyn is over too, I hope.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
And so the thing is, it is hard. It is
hard to knock off somebody in a primary.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
But the.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
It's just it is just hard because they have so
much resources, so much name id and the people who
vote in the Republican primary, I would say, who live
their lives and just go about to their living and
don't listen to Kenny and other talk show hosts and
get the details of what's going on in politics.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
A lot of times don't know why they're doing it.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
They believe the ads that come out with the fiddle
and the ground, you know, the fiddle and he's the
real Texan and all that sort of stuff. And certainly
that worked in twenty twenty and it's gonna be harder
in twenty twenty six to knock him off. But in
my opinion, you apply pressure wherever you can. And that's
I think the reason I'm here today is because on
(25:56):
x I posted to you about the fact that Brian
Harrison inst State Brian Harrison, Conservative, a great guy, maga guy,
said he wanted to. He has already filed a bill
that will try to make it where the Texas legislature
can recall our US senators from the US Senate and
(26:19):
then have a special election to replace him.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Also an appointment from the.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Music to my ears. Now this has happened in other states.
People throw around words like can we impeach a judge?
Can we impeach a senator? Yeah, technically you can, but
recalling makes more sense, right, A recall makes more sense.
Impeaching would imply we could prove they broke the law.
Cornyn just sucks. I don't know that he's doing anything
illegal here. I mean he probably is, but kind of
(26:44):
like Menendez and you know, so many other people behind the.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Scenes, probably something's going on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
But at the end of the day, Cornyn needs to go,
just simply because he campaigned as a maga Republican, but
he behaves like John McCain. I would assume if Cornyn
wasn't a currently sitting senator for this date of Texas,
he would have campaigned against Trump, just like his friend
Mitt Romney. Or is John McCain or Liz Cheney or
so many of these other people. Yeah, all the neo
(27:11):
cons Nicky Haley, I don't even think is as problematic
as Cornyn is. So nobody's ever been recalled in the
state of Texas before. But they did it in California recently.
Newsom ended up winning the recall. Fine, whatever, But is
that crazy to think that in California. I mean, obviously
Gavin Newsom, he still won the recall, but the fact
that they'd even consider it. Can we do that in
(27:33):
Texas with our horrible senator?
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Well, in Texas, we do not have a recall law
for at any level, state or federal, And to my knowledge,
there has never been a bill passed in a state
that calls for recall of their federal officers, especially US Senate.
(27:56):
And so when I first heard this idea from Brian,
I mean, the first thing I said was this. I mean,
what I'm all about is trying to figure out how
the State of Texas can restore power to the people
of Texas and to our government and take it away
from federal the federal government. And I want to do
it in every way is creative ways as I can be,
(28:18):
or the way one of the ways I say it
is this, when you have a very a relentless, very
well funded, very powerful group of people who are spending
their entire lives figuring out ways to take away your freedom,
you have to be as relentless in your resistance and
as creative in your resistance as you can be. And
(28:39):
so what I was very fascinated with Brian Harrison's bill
because I thought, oh, that's cool. Well, as soon as
I posted about this, and several people came in and
linked to articles and said, oh, that that wouldn't be
permitted by the Supreme Court. And my deal is, well,
it's certainly permitted by the Constitution, because I understand the
tenth Amendment, okay, and I understand I've read the seventeenth
(29:01):
Amendment and I understand it.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
And the deal is what the seventeenth Amendment.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Said has changed the way we pick our Senate US
senators from having the legislatures of the state pick them
and to having the voters of the state pick them. Okay,
But the Constitution is silent on recall, okay. And so
if it's silent on recalls on people have said, oh, well,
if it's silent, that means you can't do it.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Well, no, I've read the Tenth Amendment.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
The Tenthment says, if a state is not prohibited from
doing something, or we haven't delegated the power to the
federal government to doing something, then we in the state
of Texas get to do what we want, okay.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
And so we do.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
Have the ability under the Tenth Amendment and the seventeenth
to be able to recall people when we replace them.
We're going to have to do it according to the
seventeenth Amendment, with an appointment by the governor and then
a fairly quick special election. But having that tool on
the table, just having the people of Texas discussed that
(30:03):
and maybe even going through the Supreme Court, which who
knows whether it we'll go. I know that if with
the Supreme Court rulings I've looked at our opinions I've
looked at along the way, leads you to believe that
we I think it's better than fifty to fifty a
shot that the Supreme Court would allow Texas to recall
our US senator legislatively. But the deal is that the
(30:27):
thing that the reason why we do that is it
puts pressure on corn In. You know, there's three ways
corn And can leave office. Okay, One, is he going
to decide to retire, to retire, retire immediately, which is
the best for me? Is the best case scenario save.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Us money in time? That'd beautiful.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
Sure he can decide not to run again in twenty
twenty six, creating an open seat, or he can run
again and then we defeat him in the primary in
twenty twenty six. And my deal is the more pressure
we put on him, the more likely it is that
either he won't run again, he may, he may after
being having this happened to him, that he didn't get
to be his lifelong goal, which is majority leader. He
(31:07):
could be just saying okay, I'm out of here. I
would love it to see it if he would just
say no, I'm not even gonna do this anymore, and
let the governor appoint somebody temporarily and then let the
people have a special election to replace him.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Let's put a pennant right there.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I'm talking to Tom Glass, a conservative thought leader liberty
activist from the state of Texas, one of the former
heads of the Texas Liberty, a libertarian party, actually one
of the sole people solely responsible for removing our last
terrible house speaker from office, Dennis Bond, and we'll tell
that story.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Hang on real quick, we'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Some radio shows are so hot you'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Fortunately, is it one of those shows.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
I feel right never listening to you all again.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
But Suit of Happiness Radio, we are back.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
We're on the radio, but we're also streaming on social
media and we're playing Royalty Free me. That means that
we're That's what When we're on social media, we can't
play Nirvana and the Who, so instead we play generic
sounding electronic music as we don't get into trouble with
the social media gods, which has been a big problem lately.
I had Facebook tell me twice over the weekend I
(32:16):
did something wrong.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I thought, well, what did I do wrong?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
And then I clicked and it said it's very expensive
you ask people who would win the fight, Tyson or
Paul And I thought, that's a weird reason for Facebook
to tell me I violated a rule. But I don't
think that was the problem. I think they're just censoring
speech on social media. I think Facebook knows I'm a conservative,
I'm a liberty activist and I'm putting content out that
probably is against the liberal narrative, and so I get flags.
(32:41):
I got flagged for asking people who they had voted
for in the election. Really not very non controversial stuff
and nothing polarizing about that. But there's a reason that
this happens. In fact, our attorney general here in the state,
Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit against Facebook for censoring conservatives
on social media, probably a violation of section two thirty
(33:03):
of the Electronics Decency Act. Ken Paxton, our attorney general
in the state of Texas, files a lot of lawsuits
that you would probably agree with if you're a conservative,
and so I'm a big fan of Ken Paxton. I
like that he sued Pfizer. I didn't like the vaccine mandates.
I like when he goes after doctors for doing weird
experimental gender affirming treatments on teenagers and little kids. I
(33:24):
like when he sues the Biden administration. And if you
happen to agree with me on any of that stuff,
if there's any one single thing that Ken Paxton has
recently done as Attorney General of Texas that you enjoyed,
just know that John Cornyn tried to stop Ken Paxton
from doing those things. John Cornyn does not agree that
Ken Paxton is doing a good job. John Cornyn does
(33:44):
not agree with Ken Paxton's lawsuits against Pfizer or the
Biden administration, just like he doesn't agree with Matt Gates
being selected to be Attorney General of the United States
of America for Donald Trump. And so my guest right
now is this guy right here, Tom Glass, Conservative thought
leader activists.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Do you have a group that you represented or are
you just what is the group?
Speaker 8 (34:05):
The mom flagship group is Texas Constitutional Enforcement, and we
have a Facebook group and a page, and we have
a website Texas Constitutional Enforcement dot com RTXSE dot org
for short. I also have another group called Texas Legislative
Priorities on Facebook where we focus on implementing the legislative
(34:25):
priorities of the Republican Party Texas at our Texas Legislature.
And so we're hot and heavy getting ready for the
d L slave session. For both of those reasons, I.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Always try to remind people there's a reason I booked
these guests on my show. If you don't know Tom,
maybe you didn't know Michael Quinnsullivan before he became a
regular guest on this show. People like Tom and Mike
are Michael our dragon slayers. What they do is they
find bad politicians and they expose them and they end
their careers. And years ago that guy was Dennis Bonden,
our former House speaker. And you stood outside of one
(34:56):
of his fundraisers one time, and I guess say what
it cost fifteen thousand dollars for a playoff?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
It was a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
That's a lot of money for meat loaf, I think.
But people don't pay that absurd amount of money to
eat dinner with a politician because they want to have veal.
Why are they paying all that money to eat dinner
with a politician? Tom, Well, they call it.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
I think the economists call it rent seeking. Sometimes I
think another name for it, a better name for it,
is subsidy sucking. It's trying to get a favor from
the from a government to benefit yourself at the expense
of the taxpayer or your competitor, right, And that is
That's the way the game is played for the speaker
race in Texas.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Now.
Speaker 8 (35:37):
It's the way the game is played for lots of things.
But the speaker especially is kind of the king of
the cronies. He's the bagman for the cronies who takes
all their money and then doles it out to try
to keep power so that they can get the cronies
can get what they want out of the Texas legislature.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
We've got a So, yeah, the.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
Speaker is very important, and we're having a knockdown drag
out which is essentially replaying what happened in the Trump
camp this time, which is, you know, Maga versus the
deep state. Well, we've got grassroots versus the Austin swamp
going on with the speaker race right now in Austin, Okay.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
So that's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
And you guys have been very effective in the past
of removing corrupt politicians from state politics, which is something
that never happens. It's very hard to get local people
interested in state legislature. To those people that are already
interested in it or understand it, usually they have a
horse in the race, so they're willing to look the
other way when this guy's a little corrupt if it'll
help their guy. Grassroots activists get a lot of attention
(36:33):
on social media when it comes to national politics, but
when it comes to state or local it's almost impossible.
Now when you guys were getting rid of Dennis Bonden,
our last terrible house speaker in Texas before the current
terrible one, I asked you a question on this radio show.
I asked you who should we replace him with? And
you gave me a very good, honest, and somewhat disappointing answer.
You said, Kenny, I don't know who it should be.
(36:55):
I just know who it shouldn't be. And I kind
of feel the same way about Senator John cor I
don't know who we should replace him with. There's a
handful of guys I like, Wesley Hunt, May's Middleton, people
I trust from state politics, Chip Roy, for example, I
just don't like John Cornyn. Any of them would be
better than him. But what's the first thing we do
to get rid of this guy?
Speaker 8 (37:16):
Well, for me, personally, I'm the guy that stays focused
on the Texas legislature and figures out ways in the
Texas legislature and in Texas to push back on bad
federal stuff. And so for me, what I'm going to
work on is with Brian Harrison on trying to move
this bill forward. It allows us to recall US senators
(37:39):
to put pressure on him. That way, the way we
removed Dennis Bond and was we put pressure after pressure
after pressure on him until he decided that he was
not going to run again. And I'm hoping if we
do enough of the pressure on John Cornern now he
either will resign immediately just saying it's not worth it anymore.
I didn't get to be more jority leader. But which
is the reason I was hanging around here. I'm going
(38:00):
to go retire and be with my grandkids, or or
have we persuade him not to run again. And I
think part of that that pressure can be applied from
the Texas legislature by trying to get this recall in.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I want to show people something that really bothers me
about John Cornyn. And I'm doing this in real time
right now, so forgive me for not having this on
the screen already. But we often joke that some of
these politicians are not authentic Texans. Like we'll make the
joke that Dan Crenshawe is such a you know, authentic
Texan that his favorite country music singer is Keith Urban
(38:35):
or something like that, and then p everyone will laugh.
What I'm about to show you, guys on my screen
is a real photo. John Cornyn, who claims to be
born in Texas, who claims to be a root and
tutin red dirt Texas guy, thinks that this is what
brisket looks like. Tom, and I understand, of all the
reasons not to like John Cornyn, this should be the
least of our concerns. He's he's in bed with the
(38:56):
military industrial complex and big Pharma, and anyone in government
that's corrupt and evil and awful is probably his political ally.
I often make the point that he is every Democrat's
favorite Republican. But if all of that's lost on you,
then certainly shouldn't this convince you we need to get
rid of him? What the hell are we looking at?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Here? Is this catch up with meat loaf? He claims
that this is brisket, Tom, you grew up at Texas.
What is that? Well? I don't know, but I will
tell you this.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
The other thing he does is he has a fiddle
in a Texas fiddle playing in the background on his ads.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
I prove that he's a real texts. Sure, that's it.
Speaker 8 (39:35):
Yes, you know about my wife and I joke that
you know we if we go into BUCkies when we
can't go into BUCkies very often because if we see
something that has a Bevil Texas star on it, we're
gonna buy it.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I mean.
Speaker 8 (39:46):
And so if he plays a fiddle in the behind
the scenes on his ads, you've got to vote for him.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
You get tricked into believing it. That's right.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I'm with you, Tom, Tom Glass. Hey, I want everybody
do me a favorite. Tom Glass is on X said
the best place to follow you.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
I got to Tom G. Glass on X and on Facebook.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
We have Texas Constitutional Enforcement in Texas Legislative Priorities.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I love that. And that's all. I'll post links to
that right now on my ex account.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
And this is I just want to say, although this
concludes our conversation about this for today, this isn't the
end of talking about getting rid of Corning moving forward.
I got to think this isn't the last time he's
going to be a thorn in the ass of conservatives,
populous libertarians, the MAGA movement. So stay tuned for that.
Follow my buddy Tom Glass on X. In the meantime,
Hey to the rest of you, I love you all.
Have an awesome afternoon. We'll be back bright and early
(40:31):
tomorrow morning. For more of what you bought a radio for.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Hapiness Radio.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
