The giganic government sucks. Suit of happiness. Radio is dux
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile. Of a Suda
happen and us on your radio to al justice, Cheezburger, Liberty,
Rise at Food.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The now former fiance of RFK Junior's supposed mistress, that
journal Olivia Nuzzy. He says RFK Junior wanted to impregnate
his former fiance. He wanted to do impregnator. I don't
know if that's true, but if it is true, do
you realize what that means. It turns out being anti
vax doesn't mean he's against every kind of injection. Hi,
(00:44):
thanks for turning the radio on. Who've got a very
interesting show for you this afternoon. Journalist Tolly Hanson is
going to be here from d Texant News and local
conservative thought leader Alex Mieler, and we're gonna be talking
about some of these down ballot races happening around Southeast
Texas and how this might add actually be if we
lose these races, the canary and the mind shaft to
something I never talk about. I know a lot of
(01:06):
right wing talk radio hosts, Republicans and conservatives and libertarians
will tell you.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Texas, my turn blue, Texas, my turn blue.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And I don't generally believe the fear mongering when people
say that, but I will tell you this, if we
lose this Court of Appeals race, this is a regional election.
It's a it's not a municipal election. It's not a
state wide election. It's certainly not a national election. It's
a regional election for southeast Texas. If we do not
win this race right now, we are one step closer
(01:34):
to the Democrats taking over the state of Texas. And
that is a fact. That is an objective fact. So
consider coming out tonight. I'm going to be at Wicklow
Heights with a bunch of local conservatives, a bunch of
local very concerned moms, and other activists. Wicklow Heights is
a bar at ten twenty seven West nineteenth Street in Houston, Texas,
and we'll be talking about a lot about local politics tonight.
(01:56):
But don't worry, it'll be interesting, I promise you that.
And oh, good food, cheap food and good drinks there
as well, So come hang with us tonight. In fact,
I think, what are they doing sneak night or something?
Is that what they're doing here? Maybe that was last night.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I don't want to give the wrong information. I was
just glancing at their Instagram account. But they do have
really good looking food. Hey, speaking of good looking, Tim
Mathis stand up comedian, is not really good good look
but he is a really funny comedian. He's going to
be hearing a little bit to give you all the
latest from Hollywood. There is some sick, depraved stuff happening
right now in Tinseltown, and our man on the streets there,
(02:30):
our Hollywood reporters, stand up comedian Tim Mathis line from
Hollywood with the latest on the death of this boy band,
pop star Liam Payin I believe is his name, and
very sad story. We'll give you some insight into that,
as well as what's going on with the Diddy allegations
and a lot more. But before we get to any
of that, we can't do a radio show this afternoon
(02:50):
without talking a little bit about what happened last night
with Kamala Harris. Yesterday evening, Kamala Harris did a interview,
a sit down interview with Fox News host Brett bhar
and it was an absolute catastrophe for Kamala, just an
absolute I mean, it could not have gone worse for her.
(03:13):
According to Brett Bhaer, she showed up late, she left early,
so yeah, it didn't go well. And during the conversation
with Brett Bher, Kamala kept going on and on and
on about how Donald Trump is unfit to be president,
donald Trump is unfit to hold office, and then he
asked her the obvious question. He said, all right, you
think Donald Trump's unfit to hold office, but Joe Biden
(03:36):
had to step down from his candidacy because apparently he
doesn't have the mental acuity to hold the position. And
you told us for three and a half years, he did,
How can you be trusted on this when on Donald
Trump's fitness to hold office when you lie to us
about Joe. Okay, that's the question he was trying to ask,
but she kept interrupting him, stumbling over him, and then
finally she gave some word solid nonsense answer which appeared
(03:59):
to be most of her strategy last night. During the interview,
basically filibuster Brett Baer with word salads, which is kind
of her specialty.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.
This is a democracy, and in a democracy, the president
of the United States in the United States of America
should be willing to be able to handle criticism without
saying he'd lock people up for doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I don't think Donald Trump ever said that. It's a
very distorted version of what some joke he told once.
I don't know this idea that Donald Trump and his
supporters are deranged and lethal and diseased and unfit and insane,
and this is what they'd say about you all the time.
(04:46):
If you don't believe that that's Kamala's position, look no
further than the places where Kamala gets her news from
Salon dot com. For example, Breitbart Today has a review
of an article that was published at sol You know,
at Salon. Salon dot com. It's a very liberal news outlet.
I think it's considered to be the oldest Internet based
news site. I think that's their their stick, that's their
(05:09):
marketing gimmick. Anyway, they say Trump supporters are infected with
a dangerous and lethal disease.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Where do you think they got that from? Who told
him that?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Maybe the people running around telling everyone Republicans are all
maga extremists. Oh that was Joe Biden and Kamala Trump
has been nearly assassinated twice, but that didn't stop far
left Salon from claiming Trump and his supporters are infected
with a contagious disease called authoritarian violence disorder. And they
said Trump is a super spreader. Welcome to the Democrat
(05:43):
Party's latest edition of assassination porn, my friends. The headline
of the article was brain flaws Understanding magas an epidemic disease.
And then they interview an epidemiologist, an epidemiologist, a guy
that studies infectious diseases, to explain why Trump is bad. Now,
if the timing all of that seems a little odd, boy,
(06:05):
you couldn't help it. Notice four years ago we couldn't
get enough of epidemiologists as the pandemic was going on,
and now six counties in the California Bay Area have
just brought back mass mandates just in time for the election.
The article actually explains how you know Trump's like Hitler,
And of course the irony is just as Adolf Hitler
(06:27):
used experts to dehumanize Jewish people as genetically inferior and
dangerously diseased, so too does Salon. They interview this guy,
doctor Gary slutkin his name, that's his name, Slutkin. I'm
not making that up. And he says that you're diseased.
He says, I understand magas an epidemic disease infecting many
through what I call brain flaws. It's not their fault.
(06:49):
There are brain pathways for copying and following others.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
End quote.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Ah, it's not our fault. We're dangerous due to some
genetic defect that causes brain flaw. Think, thank you very much,
Salon dot com. In the articles, Slutkin explains Trump is
a massive super spreader. See if re elected. They say
Trump will engage in violence, including concentration camps, backed by
his supporters who are genetically inferior and infected with the
(07:18):
contagious disease. That's actually their narrative. Sounds a little silly, doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It to those of you.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Not taking this threat seriously? Let's remember who the left is.
The Left is permanently mutilating and sterilizing children to appease
their trans gods. They left legalized aborded babies after they're born.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
They love that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The left allowed months of rioting in their own cities.
The left destroyed school children by closing schools and forcing
them into masks. The left is pouring gay porn into
elementary schools. There's nothing the Left will not do to
obtain power. And once you rationalize that, as an entire
population being genetically inferior or diseased, you're capable of any
(07:59):
Obama nation. The irony of all of this is that
as they are accusing you of being a Nazi, they
are literally borrowing tactics from the Nazis. I mean, we
just explained why, and despite all of that, I still
say we respond to this with laughter. We responded this
in the ballot box. We respond to this by donating
donating political dollars to our favorite candidates. What did Obama say,
(08:25):
when they go low, we go high? When you guys
go low, we actually do go high. The difference between
us and you is you guys behave like Nazis and
we laugh at you for it. You guys accuse us
of being Nazis, and then you send the judicial system
after us. Who do you think is the real threat
to democracy? I think it's the people that just tried
to stop the Save Act, a bill that would have
prevented illegal immigrants and non citizens from voting, and it's
(08:51):
pretty obvious who the threat to democracy is around here.
And despite all of that, I still say we don't
respond with violence.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Let them do that.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Some radio shows, oh hot, they'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
I feel I never listening to you all again, The
Suit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
If you love your automobile. I can't think of a
good segue from that. Drive your car tonight over to
Wicklow Heights.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
It is.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It's a bar up in the heights and me and
a bunch of brilliant women who are running for the
position of Court of Appeals here in southeast Texas. We'll
be having an event with the Harris County GOP. I'm
just I'm MCing. They asked me if I had MC.
I said sure, I'd be happy to. So I'm gonna cut.
They're gonna be speaking though, And this is a big deal.
I know it's a down ballot election and it's not
(09:40):
real exciting or what it no, it is. Actually, this
is a very important election. Do you remember when we
lost You remember when we lost Harris County right twenty eighteen,
it was down ballot candidates who lost Harris County because
Beto lost the state Senate race against Ted Cruz.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
This is a lot like that. If we lose.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Harris County, which we already have, and we lose the
Court of Appeals in Southeast Texas, which looks like that,
you know, it seems to be happening. We're just a
year or two away from losing the entire state. You know,
if you listen to this radio show often, I don't
talk like that a lot. I don't use those hyperbolic statements.
Texas is gonna flip blue. I don't think Texas flips
(10:24):
blew this election, but it might flip blue in twenty
twenty six or twenty twenty five. I mean may sometime
in the next two to four years. It could happen
if we lose this race. This is so important. So
come hang out with me tonight at it's called Wicklow Heights.
You can check my social media for links, but it's
at ten twenty seven West nineteenth Street, and we're gonna
be there at five point thirty. Come eat dinner with us,
(10:45):
have a drink, whatever. And that's very important because getting
a good judge is very important. There are so many
news stories this week about controversial cases involving a judicial
news stories from Southeast Texas. Holly Hanson of The Texan
News has actually written about three of them just in
the past forty eight hours. Here a Galveston County judge
(11:09):
considering an injunction over there in Chema that closed off
sixth Street. That's not what we're going to talk about
right now, though. Another interesting story she just wrote about
former Harris County Judge Franklin Binham given the second reprimand
for false statements. Also interesting, but not the story we're
doing right now. No, I want to talk to you
for a minute about this. The state is seeking a
(11:29):
recusal of Judge Cornelio in a case of a death
row inmate over a false bench warrant and secretive proceedings.
Sounds like the making of a real nefarious crime podcast,
but actually this is the story of a guy named
Ronald Haskell, sentenced to death for the brutal murder of
a family of six, including four children, in Spring, Texas. Holly,
(11:51):
if you had to guess, I know you're a journalist,
just the facts, But if you had to guess, do
you think he's guilty?
Speaker 7 (11:58):
He never claims not to commit the shootings. He did
try to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, but
he was convicted in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
But here's what.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Happened fourteen, right, that's what this is from ten years ago.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yes, brutal murders. We were living about a mile away
from where that happened. It was just one of the
most horrific things you ever heard of. There was one
child that was shot in the head, that played dead
and she survived. There's one survivor for the rest of
the family just completely you know, wiped out by this guy.
(12:37):
It was his ex wife's family. But he's convicted. He
sent a death row. In the meantime, the judge that
had presided over his case is no longer in office,
and you get this judge, Natalia Cornelio, who takes office.
She did work for Commissioner Rodney Ellis before she became
(12:58):
a judge. He is presiding over the case and last summer,
while he's on death row, she issues a bench warrant,
which means he has to come back to Harris County
for a court setting. But what's weird is the court
setting she put on this bench warrant was July twenty second,
(13:18):
at midnight, which they don't hold court at midnight in
her courtroom, and there are no records indicating that a
court setting ever took place. But they took this death
row inmate, Ronald Lee Haskell, to Harris County Jail, kept
him there for a couple of weeks. Then they took
him to a private medical facility for a brain MRI.
(13:43):
There are photographs of him in the waiting room of
this private facility just with you know, regular folks who
I'm sure had no idea they were sitting next to
a death row inmate there.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Wow, and yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Pretty wild. And so then then I guess about a
week later, she sends him back to the high security
facility for death row inmates. The state is asking to
have her recused from the case because what she's kind
of done here if all this bears out that she's
(14:17):
sort of outstepped her authority over a case that's under
appeal and seems to be trying to create some evidence
that he is in fact insane by conducting this brain MRI.
Now that's something that they may do at some point,
but she's not authorized to order it. The other interesting
(14:38):
thing is that this guy Haskell called his mother while
he was in the Harris County jail and complained about
how this was all being kept secret. He called it
a cloak and dagger operation. He said his attorney didn't
want anybody to know about it, and he said, you know,
(14:59):
those are all court orders from this judge, not a cornelio.
So the state is asking the administrative judge to recuse
her from the case. But what's more interesting is that
if she is found to have falsified that bench warrant,
she herself could face some charges that could become tampering
(15:22):
with the government record and that's a class they misdemeanor,
unless they find there's an intent to deceive her defraud
and then it could rise to a felony charge. We
don't know what's going to happen next. There is a
hearing before the administrative judge next month to refuse her
from this case. But it looks pretty bad based on
(15:43):
the evidence that we viewed, and I do have that
evidence all linked up in our article at the Texan News.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
All right, yeah, I mean it sounds illegal, like you
just said. Another thought that I just had here, and
maybe this is obvious to anybody listening to this, but
in your opinion, what is their motivation here?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I mean, why do all of this?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It seems so it doesn't really make any sense to me, Holly,
what was the was the point of it?
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Yeah, so this this judge not a Cornelio. She had
told one of the employees at the District Attorney's office
before she got elected that she was disgusted that Texas
has the death penalty, and that she said specifically she
thought this Haskell guy was just thick. And you know,
(16:29):
she's more in that criminal justice reform movement that believes
that people commit crimes because they're mentally ill or they're poor,
you don't have these social problems, and they're kind of
that anti prison, abolish prisons, anti incarceration movement. She did
(16:50):
come down from Chicago to Texas and she worked with
I think it was the Texas Civil Rights Project, and
then of course Rodney Ellis was also known as a
criminal justice reformer person. So yeah, I think that's probably
what her motivation is. I'm just guessing, but it is
(17:13):
very strange for her to have taken these actions in
regards to this case. And again, you know, Haskell never
fled that he didn't do it. I mean, you have
a driving witness, and you know this is his ex
wife's family, and so you know, there's no question about
whether or not he shot these people to death, but
(17:33):
they're trying to to get him off death row by
the insanity plea.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right, Judge Natalia Cornelio's nickname is not a like
not like not a brain in her head?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Well, I'm not going to opine on that. She has
also been criticized a lot for being one of those
judges that lets a lot of these guys out on
a little to no bond, those PR bonds for violent
offenders who are repeatedly brought into the core to you know,
we've talked endlessly about some of those cases. You know,
(18:10):
she gave a PR bond I think in twenty twenty
one to a guy by the name of ron Don
Thompson who had this long violent criminal history and was
running for another violent felony, and she, you know, let
him go and then he became a fugitive and had
authorities trying to find him. So you know, there's this
(18:33):
We see this all the time here in Harris County now,
where you have these guys that are released on little
to no bond. They half cracked down on it somewhat
with the reforms that came out of the state legislature,
but it is an ongoing problem right now.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I don't know anything about this woman other than what
you just told me. I never knew who she was,
but I know I've seen the name around. But just
glancing at her social media account here, one of the
things I noticed is not weeks back, she was celebrating
National Hispanic Hispanic Heritage Month on social media to commemorate
the seventieth anniversary of the commemoration of Hernandez versus Texas. Now,
(19:11):
they say that was a Mexican American civil rights case,
when I think it essentially said it was a case
that involved allowing a Mexican guy to stay in America
and involved a case involving a murdered man in nineteen
fifty one. Look, I won't even begin to dive into
what the meaning of that case was or why it
(19:31):
was so important to her. But the thing that always
confused me about National Hispanic Heritage Month, it starts halfway
through September and it ends halfway through October, which means
today is the second day of Not Hispanic Heritage Month.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That seemed like that seemed kind of dumb to you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I don't know, like they didn't want to upset the
breast cancer month people, or the whatever September month is.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
I don't know, Oh, how to explain that. You know,
it seems like every day we have a there's like
twenty different things. It's such and such day, you know,
International Man's Day or something like that. But I can't
keep up with it all. I gave up trying.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I heard somebody on the news earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It was one of those daytime talk shows say, today's
National Pasta Day, and it is, so, if you don't
go out and eat a bowl of pasta, that means
you hate Italians.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
And I thought, no, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
If you celebrate an Indigenous Person's Day on Monday, that
means you hate Italians. It doesn't have anything to do
with pasta Day. That's just a made up holiday. You
guys threw to the wolves there after you realize the
mistake you made on Monday. But anyway, we kind of
got off topic here. That's Holly Hanson. She's a very
good journalist. You should follow her on social media and
subscribe to her work at the TEXANDT News, a conservative
(20:49):
news outlet that is a lot better than the Houston Chronicle.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
We're not passive aggressive like some people.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
We know.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
This is Kenny webs pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Shall here on the Morning Show, did you guys tune
into the Morning Show yesterday? We played this audio of
Jerry Seinfeld at a stand up performance in Australia where
a bunch of anti Israel protesters show up and start
harassing him, and he had a bit memorized. He already
had a prepared bit and it was actually it was
quite funny. I'll let you go back and listen to
(21:24):
it yourself, but he is. You know, I'm really starting
to like Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I gotta admit.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Jerry Seinfeld says he regrets saying that the political correctness
of the extreme left ruined comedy. He now realizes what
ruined comedy was his movie Unfrosted.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
That was it? I got.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what yes,
Hollywood place where wealthy cocaine addicted movie producers sexually assault
children's happening for a century.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Nobody seems to care or want to do anything about it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
There's a lot of conspiracy theories today circulating about the
death of pop star Liam Payne. Liam Payne a former director,
a member of One Direction. One Direction for those of
you that are a little younger than me, because this
is I mean, I'm I was an adult when they
got popular.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I was never a One Direction fan.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, he was a boy band member, kind of like
in Sync or New Kids on the Block, that kind
of thing. And he's down in Argentina, where my man
Javey RmlA is one of the greatest political leaders on earth.
And from what we could tell from the reports, it
looks like he smoked crack or meth or something out
of a makeshift aluminum foil pipe and then jumped out
(22:42):
of the building and killed himself.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
That's what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
There's a lot of conspiracy theories going around today that
he wasn't It wasn't self sabotage.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
He didn't kill himself.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
He was actually murdered because as a former child star
and member of a boy band, some claim that he was,
you know, he knew something.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I don't know if that's true. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I do know that there's a news story today about
P Diddy. Oh, there's a lot of news stories about
P Diddy. There's six new lawsuits filed against Sean Ditty
Combs our man Tony Busby, Buzzby's law firm here in Houston,
going after Sean Diddy. And one of the accusations comes
from a man accusing the disgraced music mogul, excuse me
(23:24):
of groping his penis part of me to inspect it
while at a party in nineteen ninety eight when the
alleged victim was sixteen. The guy claims he has proof
Comb's abruptly told the then sixteen year old that he
needed to drop his pants so the music mogul could
expect his penis in order to assess whether the alleged
victim had what it took to become a star. My
(23:47):
friend Tim Mathis lives in Hollywood. He's a very funny
stand up comedian. But there's nothing funny about what we're
talking about right now. And oddly enough, this sort of
thing kind of takes place in Hollywood a lot, doesn't it,
Tim Mathis, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
It takes place very frequently in Hollywood. I mean, Terry
Crews famously came out during the Me Too era talked
about how even he was sexually assaulted in a very
similar fashion, and nobody an ex NFL linebacker, So I mean,
it's not like these guys are scared of you know,
tough guys or anything like that. They have the power
(24:24):
and they want to flawn it. And the way they
flawn it is by assaulting people, which is just a
weird thing.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, nobody believed that when Terry Crews came out and
said he was a victim of sexual assault, because, after all,
he's a big, buff, muscular black guy who's going to
sexually assault him. Well, somebody with power in the business
world might do something to him, and it looks like
that did it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I believe Terry Crews.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I remember at the time people laughing at him, like, oh,
a man can't get raped. A man can get raped,
a woman can rape a man. And if you don't
believe me, a female can rape a male. And if
you are skeptical of that, so do a Google news
search for teacher has sex with student and tell me
how many of those news stories involve a fully grown
woman with a little boy.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Tim It's a lot.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
It is a lot, and in Hollywood it's it's still rampant.
You know, they they want to claim that they've got
it under control, but it's still going on daily out here.
It's a it's a huge scandal that people aren't talking about.
They let the Epstein client list off the hook. I'm
(25:31):
concerned that they're going to let the Ditty.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Client list off the hook. And you know, it would
just be a continuation of the type of depravity that's
been going on in this town since it's founding sometime
in the twenties. You know, when the film industry came
over here, it's it's been the same thing. You know,
they take advantage of the people that want to gain
(25:54):
celebrity and just want to come out here and entertain people.
And you know, it's just been a pattern of abuse
since the beginning of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Now, what I'm about to say is totally anecdotal, but
I want to react to the line you just made
about how it looks like the Ditty client list won't
get released because the Epstein client list didn't get released. Again,
this is totally anecdotal, but something that I think is
that the people involved in the in the Diddy freak
off parties. While yes, they were rich and powerful, they
(26:22):
weren't quite as rich and powerful as the people connected
to Epstein. Yes, some of them appear to be members
of the royal family. It looks like Prince Harry partied
with P Ditty, It looks like you know how many
Hollywood movie producers. But I will say this, the people
that partied with Epstein were like, besides Prince Andrew, it
was billionaires.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
It was members of.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The elite, the elite business world, CEOs of major banks
and corporations and stuff like that. Do you think it's
possible that even though the people that partied with P
Didty were powerful, they aren't quite powerful enough to be
immune to what will ultimately end up happening as that
case moves forward.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Yeah, I think that is one part of it. Most
of Diddy's folks for entertainment, people who, yeah, they're powerful
and they're rich and everything. But if you look at
Epstein's potential clients, and of course has confirmed clients like
Bill Clinton and Bill Richardson, most of his seems to be,
like you said, major mobuls, political folks. So that's the
(27:26):
big thing is I think the political aspect of the
Epstein is why they don't want to. I mean, if
Epstein files ever came out, sure it would be bad
for the Republicans. The Democrat Party would cease to exist overnight.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, that's it. No, you're right, that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
And isn't it interesting that FTX founder and Democrat Party
mega donor Sam Bankman Freed is supposedly P Diddy cellmate
at that jail.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Where are they in New York?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I believe it's a federal prison in New York, federal jail,
but apparently that's where they're both being held.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Tim Yeah, what a of the odds.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
It's almost like they're setting up to kill two birds
with one stone.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
I know.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
I wonder if he's already checked to see if Sam
Bankman can be a star.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Oh, it was my first thought. That's the first thing
I thought. I bet that Sam Bankman Fred is his
girlfriend now. But hey, getting off that for a topic,
A topic for a second, something a little less unpleasant,
a'll be it a bit frustrating something. I think you're
probably more quality. I don't know that you've ever been
sexually assaulted on a casting couch, but you are a
stand up comedian who's offended people before. And I bet
(28:35):
you've had a show or two get canceled comedian Andrew Shall's.
I think this guy's very funny. He did a podcast
recently with Donald Trump. The second that podcast got published,
he had a gig get canceled with the Brooklyn Academy
of Music. This kind of staff's pretty common, isn't it.
It's interesting to think this happened the same day that
Jerry Seinfeld says he regrets saying that woke liberals ruined comedy,
(28:58):
and yet now woke liberals are trying to cancel Andrew
Shalls for merely talking to Donald Trump. You have a
connection to this world, don't you.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Yeah, And it's not surprising that this happens. This type
of stuff happens all the time. I mean, I was
removed from a comedy festival in Houston because of a
mean somebody else made that had my picture on it.
So these types of things do happen. And Andrew Schultz
shouldn't be surprised, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if
(29:27):
he loses more gigs based off of the system city is,
and it shouldn't happen. But Unfortunately, if you're on the
wrong side of the isle, as it were, and especially
on the wrong side of this election according to the
people that are in charge, you know you're you're taking
a financial and career risk. I mean, honestly me, appearing
(29:50):
on your radio show is probably a career risk if
anybody you know of of that type of ben was
to see it the wrong way. I mean, we have
people in Hollywood. When you go up for a role,
or when you go up for you know, any kind
of gig, there's there's interns and production assistants that will
(30:11):
check your social media and if it doesn't conform to
a way that they want to conform to, which is
essentially you know, folk blue no matter who Orange ban bad,
then you risk being blackballed. I mean, I'm pretty sure
I've missed gigs over it one hundred percent out here.
So that's unfortunately the world we live in. It's not
(30:33):
it's not only what you know and who you know,
it's what you think. And that's very disconcerting.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, my brother Tim Mathis I love your comedy, dude.
Follow him on social media. Tim Mathis Comedy on Twitter,
on Instagram. Timmy Gunny Show's coming up. You coming to
town for anything.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
I Am not coming to town for anything soon. We're
just out here trying to get this movie up and running.
So but I will let you guys know when I'm
in down there.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
My brother, Hey, quick break. Alex Mieler coming up next.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
We're going to talk about some of these judicial races,
down ballot races happening in and around southeast Texas. This
isn't the stuff that's the most widely reported on, but
it is just as important as any national election.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
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 (31:33):
Today's show has I don't know if you've noticed, a
reoccurring theme on Today's afternoon show has been how important
these down ballot candidates are. You know, people keep asking
why is Trump doing a rally in Coachella, California? Why
did Trump go to Chicago to do a rally. I'll
tell you why. They've seen the internal polling. Probably odds
(31:55):
are Trump wins in November. So the question is, and
who's going to win in November. It's what happens after
Trump wins. But but we'll get to that later on.
There'll be plenty of time to discuss that. The reason
that Trump is out campaigning in California or Chicago is
because the people in the Trump Movement, the Maga Republicans,
know there are down ballid candidates that need a little
(32:16):
bit of support. Will Trump win Illinois? Will he win California? Yeah,
probably not, you know, probably won't. But there might be
some local judges, there might be some local prosecutors that
could use a little bit of Trump's help. And that
is such an important lesson for people in Southeast Texas
to learn. Back in twenty eighteen, we lost Harris County.
(32:38):
I don't know if we'll ever get it back, but look,
I'll fight like hell. I like these candidates on the
ballot coming up in November in Harris County. Mike Knox
is a good friend of mine. I love Mike. He's
a great guy. I remember when his son Jason died
in a helicopter crash. I cried tears. I'm thinking back
on it. It still gets me. I mean it always will.
(32:59):
It's just a sad store. Dan Simon's our DA candidate.
You heard him on the show. If you look at
his social media account today, you'll see he and I
are retweeting each other. Winning Harris County is really important.
But I'll tell you one thing. We don't win Harris
County if we can't win this Court of Appeals race.
This isn't a state wide race, and it's not a
local municipal race. This is a regional race. In twenty eighteen,
(33:22):
when we lost Harris County, things in the state started
moving towards Purple. We were deep red. Now we're just
red again. Democrats have no statewide positions, but Court of
Appeals that's just a little more of Southeast Texas than
Harris County is. So tonight, I'm getting together with a
bunch of brilliant judicial candidates running for office in Harris County,
(33:46):
some of them Court of Appeals candidates, some of them
in other positions, and we're going to try to raise
a little bit of money. You should come hang out
with us. We're going to be at Wicklow Heights. Wicklow
Heights is a bar in the heights, ten twenty seven
West nineteenth Street. And I'll tell you something. A lot
of people are very upset about. It is difficult in
a city like Houston to find good candidates, it really is.
(34:08):
There's a Democrat judge here named Kelly Johnson who remains
mentally unfit to serve the bench and will remain out
until at least February. She has no GOP challenger next month,
so she will very likely. I mean, I don't really
see a scenario where she doesn't win reelection. You know,
earlier this summer, her own court reporter filed a complaint
(34:29):
against her over what was described by the Chronicle as
a significant decline in her behavior on the bench. She
trashed her own courtroom during a mental health episode, according
to the Chronicle. So that's the kind of judge we're
dealing with here in this state. Earlier in the show,
you heard Holly Hansen call in and talk about what
is it Judge Cornelio trying to help out a murderer
(34:53):
on death row. That's the sort of thing we're dealing
with right now in Southeast Texas. That's why I'm very
proud to be friends with Alex me who is helping
to go out and campaign and fundraise and raise attention
for some of these down ballid candidates. This is the
thing that will make us eventually lose Texas if we
don't take it seriously.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Alex. Do you think I explained all that clearly?
Speaker 7 (35:15):
No.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
I think there's a reason you talk on the radio
for six hours a day.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
So thank you.
Speaker 9 (35:19):
Tat it better myself.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Thank you, Alex, Thank you so much. Alex. What do
you think about all this?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I mean, there's so much happening right now, and obviously
the news media doesn't pay as much attention to these races,
but these are really important.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
No, and I think it's really exciting that someone like
you was raising attention. You know, until I ran a
couple of years ago, I didn't understand the significance of
the judicial races well. And frankly, sort of like our
county government, when things work, you don't have to think
about it, right, But anyone who's living around here, we're
(35:53):
seeing the revolving door at the courtroom. You know, if
you have a small business, you're dealing with these judges
where there's no consistency in regulation. They're all legislating from
the bench. But the bigger kind of so what is
we could lose these races by that one or two
percent just because Republicans more so than Democrats, if they
(36:16):
see a name on the ballot, they I don't know
who that person is and I'm skipping it. Well, when
you do that, you just voted to get a hardcore
decarcerationist on the bench. Because Democrats take their orders very
well and they know they see a d they vote
all the way down. And so when I ran in
twenty two, we actually won a few races in what
(36:37):
happened was Democrats where they ended up having a little
bit of breakage more in different races. We picked up
those victories. So when you get to down ballot, it's
kind of like whose team can be more committed? That's
the difference maker. Things are so tight, and so that's
the biggest message is we have an outsteen aning slative
candidate Penny, and I've been fortunate to meet a lot
(36:59):
of them. Most of them they took kind of the
dream king of who ran in twenty two, and now
they's put a lot of money behind them. Even Elon
Monksk has ridden a million dollar check to stop Houston murders.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Wow, really, that's so big. I don't think most people
know that, Alex. That's huge news, huge and so.
Speaker 9 (37:16):
You're bringing in the business community and saying this is
kind of the last stand. And why does it matter.
I mean, there are zero prosecutors on our Court of
Appeals right now, and why is that? Because you cannot
make it through a Democrat primary anymore and have any
respect for the rules law, you have to be a decarcerationist.
So it's chock full of these very progressive public defenders
(37:36):
and we have a chance now to take full control
of the court and bring it prosecutors back. And you know,
for me why there's interest is one, I've met the candidates.
Yes they're outstanding, and then I can't things with them
in twenty two and I know how hard they worked,
and most of them, you know, it's true public service, right.
(37:57):
These are people that have spent a decade plus in
prosecutor's office where they could have been making more money,
and they did it because they believe in public spacey,
they believe in rule of law. And so this is
like a twenty year dream where they grew up when
Texas was a very red state, solid pass to being
on the judiciary. In the last few years, we're seeing
that slip away in the most egregious kind of judges
(38:19):
like you saw this judge here who's you know, drunk,
trashing court room. A lot of them have very little
legislative judicial experience versus ours where we're packing these heavy
hitters you know that are well reviewed. You know, most
of our judges won, even the bar pool, they all
(38:39):
should have won. But there's an acknowledgment even with very
you know, left leaning Democrat Houston Bar Association, that there's
a problem. And that's why you're getting these big, kind
of heavy hitters like Elon Muss starting to pay attention.
And I think this race can really be a shot
(39:00):
in the arm that we need. In twenty two we
won that there was only two c Tilton and we
want to buy a healthy margin. It is inexcusable in
two years that we would go backwards. Hey, with how
awful everything's been going with our court.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
If you're just turning on your radio, that familiar voice
you're hearing is Alex Meeler, a local young conservative leader.
Alex and I became friends years ago because of the
Houston Young Republicans Club, and I think a lot of
our listeners know what she tried to accomplish in twenty
twenty two taking on the Democrat Party establishment, Alex, Another
one of your friends, Ted Cruz.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Had a debate this week with Colin Alred.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
I don't know if you've got a chance to see
it yet, but I'd love to get your reaction to
some of this.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
He said, not a word about his own record. I
have to admit the beginning of it. It reminded me
of Kamala Harris and our debates answering everything. Look, I
was born in the middle class. It's some lines that
sound nice that Ignora's record. Let's just talk about his
voting record again. You can go to allredfatx dot com.
You can see the actual votes. Four times he has
come out for men playing in women's sports.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Now, that was one topic that was brought up during
the debate, and we played some of that on the
Morning show today. Colin Alred supporting open borders. Colin Alred
wouldn't vote to pass the Save Act, which basically just
said you have to be an American citizen to register
to vote. I wonder, I'm curious, Alex, if you have
any thoughts about the statewide elections. Ted Cruz obviously the
(40:24):
most important right now.
Speaker 9 (40:27):
No, and he's spot on Voting records matter. Right, So
it's unfortunate Democrats because they get the support of the
math media. I mean, you go back to twenty two right,
all the Democrats in Harrison County said we're pro public safety. Right,
they don't say, oh, our public safety is actually defunding
law enforcement and planning some trees, which is just very
(40:49):
similar to what Alred's doing. Cruises. Voting records speaks for itself.
It is aligned with Texas and I certainly believe he
will continue to be a US Senator and I'm very
excited about that.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah, boy, I think so too, Alex.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I always feel like you're a great resource on local politics.
I follow you on social media. I really think other
people should as well. Find Alex Mueller on ex Twitter.
You know Elon musconez that we were just talking about him,
And of course, Alex, will you be at the event tonight.
I'm gonna be at Wicklow Hides tonight with all the
judicial candidates. You're gonna come hang out with us?
Speaker 9 (41:23):
No? Absolutely, And this is one of these points people
are frustrated, Why why aren't we winning more races? Well,
you know these people have given up. They're missing soccer practices,
they're taking a big financial hit. Like you mentioned Mike Knox,
who was an early mentor to me when I ran
for Shriff. You know, it is not particularly down ballot.
(41:44):
It's a grind right. You're not getting thrown huge chunks
of money and getting tick or tape parades. If you're
out there being away from your family, hustling because you
think it matters, and so you know, to any listeners,
just showing up for that support it does mean a lot.
You can't be there, make sure you're reaching out telling friends,
don't care if you don't know, they're great. I can
(42:06):
tell you what the other side is. Do you want
a decarcerationists? I don't ye put all the way down
the ballot. So everyone's got to own the campaigns if
we don't start mobilizing better. I mean Democrats, we've seen
it with the Soros money. It is a full time
professional army. And Republicans unfortunately are like, ooh, don't know
if I fully know that person. So I'm just gonna
(42:27):
hold off, Like what else do you need to know?
Not a progressive?
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Yeah? I love that you use that word decarceration ists.
You know, when liberals talk about bail reform. When they
talk about criminal justice reform, they'll talk about the non
violent criminals. They'll talk about the people that had a
victimless crime that are in jail. You know, pot smokers
is always an obvious example they would throw out there.
What they never actually explain is the people they want
(42:51):
to take out of jail are violent, dangerous criminals. We
chronicle these on this radio show. How many more news
stories do we have to report on this radio station
about a criminal that just got released from jail a
few minutes ago, who immediately goes out and commits a crime.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
It is terrible.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Join us tonight at Wicklow Heights from five point thirty
to seven pm. They got cheap tacos there, they got
great cocktails. But more importantly, fill your brain with the
intellectual ammunition you need to take down the Marxist and
Harris County. Join Alex Muehler and me and a bunch
of other people today. Hey to the rest of you.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
I love you all.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
I hope you have an awesome afternoon. I hope you
have an awesome evening. Drive safe, Come back bright and
early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought a
radio for we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Government sucks.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
Due you are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
The giganic government sucks. Suit of happiness. Radio is dux
Liberty and Freedom will make you smile. Of a Suda
happen and us on your radio to al justice, Cheezburger, Liberty,
Rise at Food.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The now former fiance of RFK Junior's supposed mistress, that
journal Olivia Nuzzy. He says RFK Junior wanted to impregnate
his former fiance. He wanted to do impregnator. I don't
know if that's true, but if it is true, do
you realize what that means. It turns out being anti
vax doesn't mean he's against every kind of injection. Hi,
(00:44):
thanks for turning the radio on. Who've got a very
interesting show for you this afternoon. Journalist Tolly Hanson is
going to be here from d Texant News and local
conservative thought leader Alex Mieler, and we're gonna be talking
about some of these down ballot races happening around Southeast
Texas and how this might add actually be if we
lose these races, the canary and the mind shaft to
something I never talk about. I know a lot of
(01:06):
right wing talk radio hosts, Republicans and conservatives and libertarians
will tell you.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Texas, my turn blue, Texas, my turn blue.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And I don't generally believe the fear mongering when people
say that, but I will tell you this, if we
lose this Court of Appeals race, this is a regional election.
It's a it's not a municipal election. It's not a
state wide election. It's certainly not a national election. It's
a regional election for southeast Texas. If we do not
win this race right now, we are one step closer
(01:34):
to the Democrats taking over the state of Texas. And
that is a fact. That is an objective fact. So
consider coming out tonight. I'm going to be at Wicklow
Heights with a bunch of local conservatives, a bunch of
local very concerned moms, and other activists. Wicklow Heights is
a bar at ten twenty seven West nineteenth Street in Houston, Texas,
and we'll be talking about a lot about local politics tonight.
(01:56):
But don't worry, it'll be interesting, I promise you that.
And oh, good food, cheap food and good drinks there
as well, So come hang with us tonight. In fact,
I think, what are they doing sneak night or something?
Is that what they're doing here? Maybe that was last night.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I don't want to give the wrong information. I was
just glancing at their Instagram account. But they do have
really good looking food. Hey, speaking of good looking, Tim
Mathis stand up comedian, is not really good good look
but he is a really funny comedian. He's going to
be hearing a little bit to give you all the
latest from Hollywood. There is some sick, depraved stuff happening
right now in Tinseltown, and our man on the streets there,
(02:30):
our Hollywood reporters, stand up comedian Tim Mathis line from
Hollywood with the latest on the death of this boy band,
pop star Liam Payin I believe is his name, and
very sad story. We'll give you some insight into that,
as well as what's going on with the Diddy allegations
and a lot more. But before we get to any
of that, we can't do a radio show this afternoon
(02:50):
without talking a little bit about what happened last night
with Kamala Harris. Yesterday evening, Kamala Harris did a interview,
a sit down interview with Fox News host Brett bhar
and it was an absolute catastrophe for Kamala, just an
absolute I mean, it could not have gone worse for her.
(03:13):
According to Brett Bhaer, she showed up late, she left early,
so yeah, it didn't go well. And during the conversation
with Brett Bher, Kamala kept going on and on and
on about how Donald Trump is unfit to be president,
donald Trump is unfit to hold office, and then he
asked her the obvious question. He said, all right, you
think Donald Trump's unfit to hold office, but Joe Biden
(03:36):
had to step down from his candidacy because apparently he
doesn't have the mental acuity to hold the position. And
you told us for three and a half years, he did,
How can you be trusted on this when on Donald
Trump's fitness to hold office when you lie to us
about Joe. Okay, that's the question he was trying to ask,
but she kept interrupting him, stumbling over him, and then
finally she gave some word solid nonsense answer which appeared
(03:59):
to be most of her strategy last night. During the interview,
basically filibuster Brett Baer with word salads, which is kind
of her specialty.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.
This is a democracy, and in a democracy, the president
of the United States in the United States of America
should be willing to be able to handle criticism without
saying he'd lock people up for doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I don't think Donald Trump ever said that. It's a
very distorted version of what some joke he told once.
I don't know this idea that Donald Trump and his
supporters are deranged and lethal and diseased and unfit and insane,
and this is what they'd say about you all the time.
(04:46):
If you don't believe that that's Kamala's position, look no
further than the places where Kamala gets her news from
Salon dot com. For example, Breitbart Today has a review
of an article that was published at sol You know,
at Salon. Salon dot com. It's a very liberal news outlet.
I think it's considered to be the oldest Internet based
news site. I think that's their their stick, that's their
(05:09):
marketing gimmick. Anyway, they say Trump supporters are infected with
a dangerous and lethal disease.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Where do you think they got that from? Who told
him that?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Maybe the people running around telling everyone Republicans are all
maga extremists. Oh that was Joe Biden and Kamala Trump
has been nearly assassinated twice, but that didn't stop far
left Salon from claiming Trump and his supporters are infected
with a contagious disease called authoritarian violence disorder. And they
said Trump is a super spreader. Welcome to the Democrat
(05:43):
Party's latest edition of assassination porn, my friends. The headline
of the article was brain flaws Understanding magas an epidemic disease.
And then they interview an epidemiologist, an epidemiologist, a guy
that studies infectious diseases, to explain why Trump is bad. Now,
if the timing all of that seems a little odd, boy,
(06:05):
you couldn't help it. Notice four years ago we couldn't
get enough of epidemiologists as the pandemic was going on,
and now six counties in the California Bay Area have
just brought back mass mandates just in time for the election.
The article actually explains how you know Trump's like Hitler,
And of course the irony is just as Adolf Hitler
(06:27):
used experts to dehumanize Jewish people as genetically inferior and
dangerously diseased, so too does Salon. They interview this guy,
doctor Gary slutkin his name, that's his name, Slutkin. I'm
not making that up. And he says that you're diseased.
He says, I understand magas an epidemic disease infecting many
through what I call brain flaws. It's not their fault.
(06:49):
There are brain pathways for copying and following others.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
End quote.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Ah, it's not our fault. We're dangerous due to some
genetic defect that causes brain flaw. Think, thank you very much,
Salon dot com. In the articles, Slutkin explains Trump is
a massive super spreader. See if re elected. They say
Trump will engage in violence, including concentration camps, backed by
his supporters who are genetically inferior and infected with the
(07:18):
contagious disease. That's actually their narrative. Sounds a little silly, doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It to those of you.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Not taking this threat seriously? Let's remember who the left is.
The Left is permanently mutilating and sterilizing children to appease
their trans gods. They left legalized aborded babies after they're born.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
They love that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The left allowed months of rioting in their own cities.
The left destroyed school children by closing schools and forcing
them into masks. The left is pouring gay porn into
elementary schools. There's nothing the Left will not do to
obtain power. And once you rationalize that, as an entire
population being genetically inferior or diseased, you're capable of any
(07:59):
Obama nation. The irony of all of this is that
as they are accusing you of being a Nazi, they
are literally borrowing tactics from the Nazis. I mean, we
just explained why, and despite all of that, I still
say we respond to this with laughter. We responded this
in the ballot box. We respond to this by donating
donating political dollars to our favorite candidates. What did Obama say,
(08:25):
when they go low, we go high? When you guys
go low, we actually do go high. The difference between
us and you is you guys behave like Nazis and
we laugh at you for it. You guys accuse us
of being Nazis, and then you send the judicial system
after us. Who do you think is the real threat
to democracy? I think it's the people that just tried
to stop the Save Act, a bill that would have
prevented illegal immigrants and non citizens from voting, and it's
(08:51):
pretty obvious who the threat to democracy is around here.
And despite all of that, I still say we don't
respond with violence.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Let them do that.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Some radio shows, oh hot, they'll literally burn your eyes.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Fortunately, this is it one of those shows.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
I feel I never listening to you all again, The
Suit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
If you love your automobile. I can't think of a
good segue from that. Drive your car tonight over to
Wicklow Heights.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
It is.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It's a bar up in the heights and me and
a bunch of brilliant women who are running for the
position of Court of Appeals here in southeast Texas. We'll
be having an event with the Harris County GOP. I'm
just I'm MCing. They asked me if I had MC.
I said sure, I'd be happy to. So I'm gonna cut.
They're gonna be speaking though, And this is a big deal.
I know it's a down ballot election and it's not
(09:40):
real exciting or what it no, it is. Actually, this
is a very important election. Do you remember when we
lost You remember when we lost Harris County right twenty eighteen,
it was down ballot candidates who lost Harris County because
Beto lost the state Senate race against Ted Cruz.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
This is a lot like that. If we lose.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Harris County, which we already have, and we lose the
Court of Appeals in Southeast Texas, which looks like that,
you know, it seems to be happening. We're just a
year or two away from losing the entire state. You know,
if you listen to this radio show often, I don't
talk like that a lot. I don't use those hyperbolic statements.
Texas is gonna flip blue. I don't think Texas flips
(10:24):
blew this election, but it might flip blue in twenty
twenty six or twenty twenty five. I mean may sometime
in the next two to four years. It could happen
if we lose this race. This is so important. So
come hang out with me tonight at it's called Wicklow Heights.
You can check my social media for links, but it's
at ten twenty seven West nineteenth Street, and we're gonna
be there at five point thirty. Come eat dinner with us,
(10:45):
have a drink, whatever. And that's very important because getting
a good judge is very important. There are so many
news stories this week about controversial cases involving a judicial
news stories from Southeast Texas. Holly Hanson of The Texan
News has actually written about three of them just in
the past forty eight hours. Here a Galveston County judge
(11:09):
considering an injunction over there in Chema that closed off
sixth Street. That's not what we're going to talk about
right now, though. Another interesting story she just wrote about
former Harris County Judge Franklin Binham given the second reprimand
for false statements. Also interesting, but not the story we're
doing right now. No, I want to talk to you
for a minute about this. The state is seeking a
(11:29):
recusal of Judge Cornelio in a case of a death
row inmate over a false bench warrant and secretive proceedings.
Sounds like the making of a real nefarious crime podcast,
but actually this is the story of a guy named
Ronald Haskell, sentenced to death for the brutal murder of
a family of six, including four children, in Spring, Texas. Holly,
(11:51):
if you had to guess, I know you're a journalist,
just the facts, But if you had to guess, do
you think he's guilty?
Speaker 7 (11:58):
He never claims not to commit the shootings. He did
try to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, but
he was convicted in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
But here's what.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Happened fourteen, right, that's what this is from ten years ago.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yes, brutal murders. We were living about a mile away
from where that happened. It was just one of the
most horrific things you ever heard of. There was one
child that was shot in the head, that played dead
and she survived. There's one survivor for the rest of
the family just completely you know, wiped out by this guy.
(12:37):
It was his ex wife's family. But he's convicted. He
sent a death row. In the meantime, the judge that
had presided over his case is no longer in office,
and you get this judge, Natalia Cornelio, who takes office.
She did work for Commissioner Rodney Ellis before she became
(12:58):
a judge. He is presiding over the case and last summer,
while he's on death row, she issues a bench warrant,
which means he has to come back to Harris County
for a court setting. But what's weird is the court
setting she put on this bench warrant was July twenty second,
(13:18):
at midnight, which they don't hold court at midnight in
her courtroom, and there are no records indicating that a
court setting ever took place. But they took this death
row inmate, Ronald Lee Haskell, to Harris County Jail, kept
him there for a couple of weeks. Then they took
him to a private medical facility for a brain MRI.
(13:43):
There are photographs of him in the waiting room of
this private facility just with you know, regular folks who
I'm sure had no idea they were sitting next to
a death row inmate there.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Wow, and yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Pretty wild. And so then then I guess about a
week later, she sends him back to the high security
facility for death row inmates. The state is asking to
have her recused from the case because what she's kind
of done here if all this bears out that she's
(14:17):
sort of outstepped her authority over a case that's under
appeal and seems to be trying to create some evidence
that he is in fact insane by conducting this brain MRI.
Now that's something that they may do at some point,
but she's not authorized to order it. The other interesting
(14:38):
thing is that this guy Haskell called his mother while
he was in the Harris County jail and complained about
how this was all being kept secret. He called it
a cloak and dagger operation. He said his attorney didn't
want anybody to know about it, and he said, you know,
(14:59):
those are all court orders from this judge, not a cornelio.
So the state is asking the administrative judge to recuse
her from the case. But what's more interesting is that
if she is found to have falsified that bench warrant,
she herself could face some charges that could become tampering
(15:22):
with the government record and that's a class they misdemeanor,
unless they find there's an intent to deceive her defraud
and then it could rise to a felony charge. We
don't know what's going to happen next. There is a
hearing before the administrative judge next month to refuse her
from this case. But it looks pretty bad based on
(15:43):
the evidence that we viewed, and I do have that
evidence all linked up in our article at the Texan News.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
All right, yeah, I mean it sounds illegal, like you
just said. Another thought that I just had here, and
maybe this is obvious to anybody listening to this, but
in your opinion, what is their motivation here?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I mean, why do all of this?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It seems so it doesn't really make any sense to me, Holly,
what was the was the point of it?
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Yeah, so this this judge not a Cornelio. She had
told one of the employees at the District Attorney's office
before she got elected that she was disgusted that Texas
has the death penalty, and that she said specifically she
thought this Haskell guy was just thick. And you know,
(16:29):
she's more in that criminal justice reform movement that believes
that people commit crimes because they're mentally ill or they're poor,
you don't have these social problems, and they're kind of
that anti prison, abolish prisons, anti incarceration movement. She did
(16:50):
come down from Chicago to Texas and she worked with
I think it was the Texas Civil Rights Project, and
then of course Rodney Ellis was also known as a
criminal justice reformer person. So yeah, I think that's probably
what her motivation is. I'm just guessing, but it is
(17:13):
very strange for her to have taken these actions in
regards to this case. And again, you know, Haskell never
fled that he didn't do it. I mean, you have
a driving witness, and you know this is his ex
wife's family, and so you know, there's no question about
whether or not he shot these people to death, but
(17:33):
they're trying to to get him off death row by
the insanity plea.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right, Judge Natalia Cornelio's nickname is not a like
not like not a brain in her head?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Well, I'm not going to opine on that. She has
also been criticized a lot for being one of those
judges that lets a lot of these guys out on
a little to no bond, those PR bonds for violent
offenders who are repeatedly brought into the core to you know,
we've talked endlessly about some of those cases. You know,
(18:10):
she gave a PR bond I think in twenty twenty
one to a guy by the name of ron Don
Thompson who had this long violent criminal history and was
running for another violent felony, and she, you know, let
him go and then he became a fugitive and had
authorities trying to find him. So you know, there's this
(18:33):
We see this all the time here in Harris County now,
where you have these guys that are released on little
to no bond. They half cracked down on it somewhat
with the reforms that came out of the state legislature,
but it is an ongoing problem right now.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I don't know anything about this woman other than what
you just told me. I never knew who she was,
but I know I've seen the name around. But just
glancing at her social media account here, one of the
things I noticed is not weeks back, she was celebrating
National Hispanic Hispanic Heritage Month on social media to commemorate
the seventieth anniversary of the commemoration of Hernandez versus Texas. Now,
(19:11):
they say that was a Mexican American civil rights case,
when I think it essentially said it was a case
that involved allowing a Mexican guy to stay in America
and involved a case involving a murdered man in nineteen
fifty one. Look, I won't even begin to dive into
what the meaning of that case was or why it
(19:31):
was so important to her. But the thing that always
confused me about National Hispanic Heritage Month, it starts halfway
through September and it ends halfway through October, which means
today is the second day of Not Hispanic Heritage Month.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That seemed like that seemed kind of dumb to you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I don't know, like they didn't want to upset the
breast cancer month people, or the whatever September month is.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
I don't know, Oh, how to explain that. You know,
it seems like every day we have a there's like
twenty different things. It's such and such day, you know,
International Man's Day or something like that. But I can't
keep up with it all. I gave up trying.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I heard somebody on the news earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It was one of those daytime talk shows say, today's
National Pasta Day, and it is, so, if you don't
go out and eat a bowl of pasta, that means
you hate Italians.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
And I thought, no, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
If you celebrate an Indigenous Person's Day on Monday, that
means you hate Italians. It doesn't have anything to do
with pasta Day. That's just a made up holiday. You
guys threw to the wolves there after you realize the
mistake you made on Monday. But anyway, we kind of
got off topic here. That's Holly Hanson. She's a very
good journalist. You should follow her on social media and
subscribe to her work at the TEXANDT News, a conservative
(20:49):
news outlet that is a lot better than the Houston Chronicle.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
We're not passive aggressive like some people.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
We know.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
This is Kenny webs pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Shall here on the Morning Show, did you guys tune
into the Morning Show yesterday? We played this audio of
Jerry Seinfeld at a stand up performance in Australia where
a bunch of anti Israel protesters show up and start
harassing him, and he had a bit memorized. He already
had a prepared bit and it was actually it was
quite funny. I'll let you go back and listen to
(21:24):
it yourself, but he is. You know, I'm really starting
to like Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I gotta admit.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Jerry Seinfeld says he regrets saying that the political correctness
of the extreme left ruined comedy. He now realizes what
ruined comedy was his movie Unfrosted.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
That was it? I got.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what yes,
Hollywood place where wealthy cocaine addicted movie producers sexually assault
children's happening for a century.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Nobody seems to care or want to do anything about it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
There's a lot of conspiracy theories today circulating about the
death of pop star Liam Payne. Liam Payne a former director,
a member of One Direction. One Direction for those of
you that are a little younger than me, because this
is I mean, I'm I was an adult when they
got popular.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I was never a One Direction fan.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, he was a boy band member, kind of like
in Sync or New Kids on the Block, that kind
of thing. And he's down in Argentina, where my man
Javey RmlA is one of the greatest political leaders on earth.
And from what we could tell from the reports, it
looks like he smoked crack or meth or something out
of a makeshift aluminum foil pipe and then jumped out
(22:42):
of the building and killed himself.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
That's what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
There's a lot of conspiracy theories going around today that
he wasn't It wasn't self sabotage.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
He didn't kill himself.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
He was actually murdered because as a former child star
and member of a boy band, some claim that he was,
you know, he knew something.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I don't know if that's true. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I do know that there's a news story today about
P Diddy. Oh, there's a lot of news stories about
P Diddy. There's six new lawsuits filed against Sean Ditty
Combs our man Tony Busby, Buzzby's law firm here in Houston,
going after Sean Diddy. And one of the accusations comes
from a man accusing the disgraced music mogul, excuse me
(23:24):
of groping his penis part of me to inspect it
while at a party in nineteen ninety eight when the
alleged victim was sixteen. The guy claims he has proof
Comb's abruptly told the then sixteen year old that he
needed to drop his pants so the music mogul could
expect his penis in order to assess whether the alleged
victim had what it took to become a star. My
(23:47):
friend Tim Mathis lives in Hollywood. He's a very funny
stand up comedian. But there's nothing funny about what we're
talking about right now. And oddly enough, this sort of
thing kind of takes place in Hollywood a lot, doesn't it,
Tim Mathis, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
It takes place very frequently in Hollywood. I mean, Terry
Crews famously came out during the Me Too era talked
about how even he was sexually assaulted in a very
similar fashion, and nobody an ex NFL linebacker, So I mean,
it's not like these guys are scared of you know,
tough guys or anything like that. They have the power
(24:24):
and they want to flawn it. And the way they
flawn it is by assaulting people, which is just a
weird thing.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, nobody believed that when Terry Crews came out and
said he was a victim of sexual assault, because, after all,
he's a big, buff, muscular black guy who's going to
sexually assault him. Well, somebody with power in the business
world might do something to him, and it looks like
that did it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I believe Terry Crews.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I remember at the time people laughing at him, like, oh,
a man can't get raped. A man can get raped,
a woman can rape a man. And if you don't
believe me, a female can rape a male. And if
you are skeptical of that, so do a Google news
search for teacher has sex with student and tell me
how many of those news stories involve a fully grown
woman with a little boy.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Tim It's a lot.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
It is a lot, and in Hollywood it's it's still rampant.
You know, they they want to claim that they've got
it under control, but it's still going on daily out here.
It's a it's a huge scandal that people aren't talking about.
They let the Epstein client list off the hook. I'm
(25:31):
concerned that they're going to let the Ditty.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Client list off the hook. And you know, it would
just be a continuation of the type of depravity that's
been going on in this town since it's founding sometime
in the twenties. You know, when the film industry came
over here, it's it's been the same thing. You know,
they take advantage of the people that want to gain
(25:54):
celebrity and just want to come out here and entertain people.
And you know, it's just been a pattern of abuse
since the beginning of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Now, what I'm about to say is totally anecdotal, but
I want to react to the line you just made
about how it looks like the Ditty client list won't
get released because the Epstein client list didn't get released. Again,
this is totally anecdotal, but something that I think is
that the people involved in the in the Diddy freak
off parties. While yes, they were rich and powerful, they
(26:22):
weren't quite as rich and powerful as the people connected
to Epstein. Yes, some of them appear to be members
of the royal family. It looks like Prince Harry partied
with P Ditty, It looks like you know how many
Hollywood movie producers. But I will say this, the people
that partied with Epstein were like, besides Prince Andrew, it
was billionaires.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
It was members of.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The elite, the elite business world, CEOs of major banks
and corporations and stuff like that. Do you think it's
possible that even though the people that partied with P
Didty were powerful, they aren't quite powerful enough to be
immune to what will ultimately end up happening as that
case moves forward.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Yeah, I think that is one part of it. Most
of Diddy's folks for entertainment, people who, yeah, they're powerful
and they're rich and everything. But if you look at
Epstein's potential clients, and of course has confirmed clients like
Bill Clinton and Bill Richardson, most of his seems to be,
like you said, major mobuls, political folks. So that's the
(27:26):
big thing is I think the political aspect of the
Epstein is why they don't want to. I mean, if
Epstein files ever came out, sure it would be bad
for the Republicans. The Democrat Party would cease to exist overnight.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, that's it. No, you're right, that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
And isn't it interesting that FTX founder and Democrat Party
mega donor Sam Bankman Freed is supposedly P Diddy cellmate
at that jail.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Where are they in New York?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I believe it's a federal prison in New York, federal jail,
but apparently that's where they're both being held.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Tim Yeah, what a of the odds.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
It's almost like they're setting up to kill two birds
with one stone.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
I know.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
I wonder if he's already checked to see if Sam
Bankman can be a star.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Oh, it was my first thought. That's the first thing
I thought. I bet that Sam Bankman Fred is his
girlfriend now. But hey, getting off that for a topic,
A topic for a second, something a little less unpleasant,
a'll be it a bit frustrating something. I think you're
probably more quality. I don't know that you've ever been
sexually assaulted on a casting couch, but you are a
stand up comedian who's offended people before. And I bet
(28:35):
you've had a show or two get canceled comedian Andrew Shall's.
I think this guy's very funny. He did a podcast
recently with Donald Trump. The second that podcast got published,
he had a gig get canceled with the Brooklyn Academy
of Music. This kind of staff's pretty common, isn't it.
It's interesting to think this happened the same day that
Jerry Seinfeld says he regrets saying that woke liberals ruined comedy,
(28:58):
and yet now woke liberals are trying to cancel Andrew
Shalls for merely talking to Donald Trump. You have a
connection to this world, don't you.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Yeah, And it's not surprising that this happens. This type
of stuff happens all the time. I mean, I was
removed from a comedy festival in Houston because of a
mean somebody else made that had my picture on it.
So these types of things do happen. And Andrew Schultz
shouldn't be surprised, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if
(29:27):
he loses more gigs based off of the system city is,
and it shouldn't happen. But Unfortunately, if you're on the
wrong side of the isle, as it were, and especially
on the wrong side of this election according to the
people that are in charge, you know you're you're taking
a financial and career risk. I mean, honestly me, appearing
(29:50):
on your radio show is probably a career risk if
anybody you know of of that type of ben was
to see it the wrong way. I mean, we have
people in Hollywood. When you go up for a role,
or when you go up for you know, any kind
of gig, there's there's interns and production assistants that will
(30:11):
check your social media and if it doesn't conform to
a way that they want to conform to, which is
essentially you know, folk blue no matter who Orange ban bad,
then you risk being blackballed. I mean, I'm pretty sure
I've missed gigs over it one hundred percent out here.
So that's unfortunately the world we live in. It's not
(30:33):
it's not only what you know and who you know,
it's what you think. And that's very disconcerting.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, my brother Tim Mathis I love your comedy, dude.
Follow him on social media. Tim Mathis Comedy on Twitter,
on Instagram. Timmy Gunny Show's coming up. You coming to
town for anything.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
I Am not coming to town for anything soon. We're
just out here trying to get this movie up and running.
So but I will let you guys know when I'm
in down there.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
My brother, Hey, quick break. Alex Mieler coming up next.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
We're going to talk about some of these judicial races,
down ballot races happening in and around southeast Texas. This
isn't the stuff that's the most widely reported on, but
it is just as important as any national election.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
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 (31:33):
Today's show has I don't know if you've noticed, a
reoccurring theme on Today's afternoon show has been how important
these down ballot candidates are. You know, people keep asking
why is Trump doing a rally in Coachella, California? Why
did Trump go to Chicago to do a rally. I'll
tell you why. They've seen the internal polling. Probably odds
(31:55):
are Trump wins in November. So the question is, and
who's going to win in November. It's what happens after
Trump wins. But but we'll get to that later on.
There'll be plenty of time to discuss that. The reason
that Trump is out campaigning in California or Chicago is
because the people in the Trump Movement, the Maga Republicans,
know there are down ballid candidates that need a little
(32:16):
bit of support. Will Trump win Illinois? Will he win California? Yeah,
probably not, you know, probably won't. But there might be
some local judges, there might be some local prosecutors that
could use a little bit of Trump's help. And that
is such an important lesson for people in Southeast Texas
to learn. Back in twenty eighteen, we lost Harris County.
(32:38):
I don't know if we'll ever get it back, but look,
I'll fight like hell. I like these candidates on the
ballot coming up in November in Harris County. Mike Knox
is a good friend of mine. I love Mike. He's
a great guy. I remember when his son Jason died
in a helicopter crash. I cried tears. I'm thinking back
on it. It still gets me. I mean it always will.
(32:59):
It's just a sad store. Dan Simon's our DA candidate.
You heard him on the show. If you look at
his social media account today, you'll see he and I
are retweeting each other. Winning Harris County is really important.
But I'll tell you one thing. We don't win Harris
County if we can't win this Court of Appeals race.
This isn't a state wide race, and it's not a
local municipal race. This is a regional race. In twenty eighteen,
(33:22):
when we lost Harris County, things in the state started
moving towards Purple. We were deep red. Now we're just
red again. Democrats have no statewide positions, but Court of
Appeals that's just a little more of Southeast Texas than
Harris County is. So tonight, I'm getting together with a
bunch of brilliant judicial candidates running for office in Harris County,
(33:46):
some of them Court of Appeals candidates, some of them
in other positions, and we're going to try to raise
a little bit of money. You should come hang out
with us. We're going to be at Wicklow Heights. Wicklow
Heights is a bar in the heights, ten twenty seven
West nineteenth Street. And I'll tell you something. A lot
of people are very upset about. It is difficult in
a city like Houston to find good candidates, it really is.
(34:08):
There's a Democrat judge here named Kelly Johnson who remains
mentally unfit to serve the bench and will remain out
until at least February. She has no GOP challenger next month,
so she will very likely. I mean, I don't really
see a scenario where she doesn't win reelection. You know,
earlier this summer, her own court reporter filed a complaint
(34:29):
against her over what was described by the Chronicle as
a significant decline in her behavior on the bench. She
trashed her own courtroom during a mental health episode, according
to the Chronicle. So that's the kind of judge we're
dealing with here in this state. Earlier in the show,
you heard Holly Hansen call in and talk about what
is it Judge Cornelio trying to help out a murderer
(34:53):
on death row. That's the sort of thing we're dealing
with right now in Southeast Texas. That's why I'm very
proud to be friends with Alex me who is helping
to go out and campaign and fundraise and raise attention
for some of these down ballid candidates. This is the
thing that will make us eventually lose Texas if we
don't take it seriously.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Alex. Do you think I explained all that clearly?
Speaker 7 (35:15):
No.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
I think there's a reason you talk on the radio
for six hours a day.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
So thank you.
Speaker 9 (35:19):
Tat it better myself.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Thank you, Alex, Thank you so much. Alex. What do
you think about all this?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I mean, there's so much happening right now, and obviously
the news media doesn't pay as much attention to these races,
but these are really important.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
No, and I think it's really exciting that someone like
you was raising attention. You know, until I ran a
couple of years ago, I didn't understand the significance of
the judicial races well. And frankly, sort of like our
county government, when things work, you don't have to think
about it, right, But anyone who's living around here, we're
(35:53):
seeing the revolving door at the courtroom. You know, if
you have a small business, you're dealing with these judges
where there's no consistency in regulation. They're all legislating from
the bench. But the bigger kind of so what is
we could lose these races by that one or two
percent just because Republicans more so than Democrats, if they
(36:16):
see a name on the ballot, they I don't know
who that person is and I'm skipping it. Well, when
you do that, you just voted to get a hardcore
decarcerationist on the bench. Because Democrats take their orders very
well and they know they see a d they vote
all the way down. And so when I ran in
twenty two, we actually won a few races in what
(36:37):
happened was Democrats where they ended up having a little
bit of breakage more in different races. We picked up
those victories. So when you get to down ballot, it's
kind of like whose team can be more committed? That's
the difference maker. Things are so tight, and so that's
the biggest message is we have an outsteen aning slative
candidate Penny, and I've been fortunate to meet a lot
(36:59):
of them. Most of them they took kind of the
dream king of who ran in twenty two, and now
they's put a lot of money behind them. Even Elon
Monksk has ridden a million dollar check to stop Houston murders.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Wow, really, that's so big. I don't think most people
know that, Alex. That's huge news, huge and so.
Speaker 9 (37:16):
You're bringing in the business community and saying this is
kind of the last stand. And why does it matter.
I mean, there are zero prosecutors on our Court of
Appeals right now, and why is that? Because you cannot
make it through a Democrat primary anymore and have any
respect for the rules law, you have to be a decarcerationist.
So it's chock full of these very progressive public defenders
(37:36):
and we have a chance now to take full control
of the court and bring it prosecutors back. And you know,
for me why there's interest is one, I've met the candidates.
Yes they're outstanding, and then I can't things with them
in twenty two and I know how hard they worked,
and most of them, you know, it's true public service, right.
(37:57):
These are people that have spent a decade plus in
prosecutor's office where they could have been making more money,
and they did it because they believe in public spacey,
they believe in rule of law. And so this is
like a twenty year dream where they grew up when
Texas was a very red state, solid pass to being
on the judiciary. In the last few years, we're seeing
that slip away in the most egregious kind of judges
(38:19):
like you saw this judge here who's you know, drunk,
trashing court room. A lot of them have very little
legislative judicial experience versus ours where we're packing these heavy
hitters you know that are well reviewed. You know, most
of our judges won, even the bar pool, they all
(38:39):
should have won. But there's an acknowledgment even with very
you know, left leaning Democrat Houston Bar Association, that there's
a problem. And that's why you're getting these big, kind
of heavy hitters like Elon Muss starting to pay attention.
And I think this race can really be a shot
(39:00):
in the arm that we need. In twenty two we
won that there was only two c Tilton and we
want to buy a healthy margin. It is inexcusable in
two years that we would go backwards. Hey, with how
awful everything's been going with our court.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
If you're just turning on your radio, that familiar voice
you're hearing is Alex Meeler, a local young conservative leader.
Alex and I became friends years ago because of the
Houston Young Republicans Club, and I think a lot of
our listeners know what she tried to accomplish in twenty
twenty two taking on the Democrat Party establishment, Alex, Another
one of your friends, Ted Cruz.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Had a debate this week with Colin Alred.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
I don't know if you've got a chance to see
it yet, but I'd love to get your reaction to
some of this.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
He said, not a word about his own record. I
have to admit the beginning of it. It reminded me
of Kamala Harris and our debates answering everything. Look, I
was born in the middle class. It's some lines that
sound nice that Ignora's record. Let's just talk about his
voting record again. You can go to allredfatx dot com.
You can see the actual votes. Four times he has
come out for men playing in women's sports.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Now, that was one topic that was brought up during
the debate, and we played some of that on the
Morning show today. Colin Alred supporting open borders. Colin Alred
wouldn't vote to pass the Save Act, which basically just
said you have to be an American citizen to register
to vote. I wonder, I'm curious, Alex, if you have
any thoughts about the statewide elections. Ted Cruz obviously the
(40:24):
most important right now.
Speaker 9 (40:27):
No, and he's spot on Voting records matter. Right, So
it's unfortunate Democrats because they get the support of the
math media. I mean, you go back to twenty two right,
all the Democrats in Harrison County said we're pro public safety. Right,
they don't say, oh, our public safety is actually defunding
law enforcement and planning some trees, which is just very
(40:49):
similar to what Alred's doing. Cruises. Voting records speaks for itself.
It is aligned with Texas and I certainly believe he
will continue to be a US Senator and I'm very
excited about that.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah, boy, I think so too, Alex.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I always feel like you're a great resource on local politics.
I follow you on social media. I really think other
people should as well. Find Alex Mueller on ex Twitter.
You know Elon musconez that we were just talking about him,
And of course, Alex, will you be at the event tonight.
I'm gonna be at Wicklow Hides tonight with all the
judicial candidates. You're gonna come hang out with us?
Speaker 9 (41:23):
No? Absolutely, And this is one of these points people
are frustrated, Why why aren't we winning more races? Well,
you know these people have given up. They're missing soccer practices,
they're taking a big financial hit. Like you mentioned Mike Knox,
who was an early mentor to me when I ran
for Shriff. You know, it is not particularly down ballot.
(41:44):
It's a grind right. You're not getting thrown huge chunks
of money and getting tick or tape parades. If you're
out there being away from your family, hustling because you
think it matters, and so you know, to any listeners,
just showing up for that support it does mean a lot.
You can't be there, make sure you're reaching out telling friends,
don't care if you don't know, they're great. I can
(42:06):
tell you what the other side is. Do you want
a decarcerationists? I don't ye put all the way down
the ballot. So everyone's got to own the campaigns if
we don't start mobilizing better. I mean Democrats, we've seen
it with the Soros money. It is a full time
professional army. And Republicans unfortunately are like, ooh, don't know
if I fully know that person. So I'm just gonna
(42:27):
hold off, Like what else do you need to know?
Not a progressive?
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Yeah? I love that you use that word decarceration ists.
You know, when liberals talk about bail reform. When they
talk about criminal justice reform, they'll talk about the non
violent criminals. They'll talk about the people that had a
victimless crime that are in jail. You know, pot smokers
is always an obvious example they would throw out there.
What they never actually explain is the people they want
(42:51):
to take out of jail are violent, dangerous criminals. We
chronicle these on this radio show. How many more news
stories do we have to report on this radio station
about a criminal that just got released from jail a
few minutes ago, who immediately goes out and commits a crime.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
It is terrible.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Join us tonight at Wicklow Heights from five point thirty
to seven pm. They got cheap tacos there, they got
great cocktails. But more importantly, fill your brain with the
intellectual ammunition you need to take down the Marxist and
Harris County. Join Alex Muehler and me and a bunch
of other people today. Hey to the rest of you.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
I love you all.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
I hope you have an awesome afternoon. I hope you
have an awesome evening. Drive safe, Come back bright and
early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought a
radio for we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Government sucks.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
Due you are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
