So is Jimmy Fallon also a show nobody wanted. Hi,
welcome back, Welcome. I should say I was out of
town at the end of I wasn't out of town.
I just was off the air on Friday. It doesn't

a live show. We're back, and a lot's going on

Speaker 3 (01:33):
We want you to be there.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's going to be more entertaining than whatever Hollywood's currently showing.
Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Or what.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Brypart dot com today reporting on the outrage over an
AI generated actress Tilly Norwood. A bunch of human actors
who are actually much less appealing than Telly Norma Wood
an AI creation are threatening to blacklist any talent agency
that lists that is willing to represent adorable little Tilly.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Oh no, you guys are mad at a robot.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
There's an ongoing war against artificial intelligence in Hollywood, and
it's not only hypocritical, it's futile. If you need proof,
listen to this. This is This is from the same
people who created Tilly Norwood, and she is featured in
this video.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The video you're about to view is one hundred percent
AI generated. No humans or bears were real.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
New TV was dead, but thought why not squeeze.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
In one last development meeting, we had one rule.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No missing children, no dead women, and no reboots of Heartbeat.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
We'd pitched this beautiful comedy two sisters running a funeral
parlor in Margate, warm, weird, very BBC two commissioner said,
no AI generated one hundred better ideas in minutes, perfectly
aligned to channel data, viewing figures and optimized for the audience.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
The winning AI format I.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Know what you streamed last summer.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
An interactive thriller built from your streaming history and delivery orders.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What and who could forget the mental health.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Format Britain's got breakdown audience.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I'm gonna turn it down, writer, I'm gonna stop it
for a second. You get that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
These sound like real people, It looks like real people,
It looks like they're in a real place. As the
videos moving from one scene to the next. They're in
an office, they're in somebody's house, they're standing by a pool.
The video is one hundred percent artificial intelligence. And right
around the one minute and twenty six second mark, you
meet Tilly Norwood, the new AI supers.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
AI generated by some company called Particle six.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And Tilly is you know, looks like a pretty woman.
She's not a woman, she's software, but she looks pretty
and her appeal, her charisma immediately pop off the screen.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's it, game over.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Nothing else matters, especially in present day Hollywood, populated by
generic actresses who look like they were scooped out of
a mall in Santa Monica. She has an Instagram account.
As a matter of fact, she already has fans. Her
Instagram account has fifteen thousand followers. Quite a few followers
for not a real person who didn't exist until a
few minutes ago. I mean still doesn't technically exist. She
(04:15):
has a twenty second reel. It's the only thing that
strikes me as fake is the fact that she is
British and has perfect teeth. I find that to be
a little hard to believe. But yeah, there's a scene
in a movie where she's standing and out in the
middle of the like, where is she? She's standing by
some monsters and I'm watching it right now on my screen.
I thought there'd be audio to go with it, but
(04:35):
apparently there's not. In twenty seconds, she fights monsters, she
runs from explosions, she sells a car. She almost won
an oscar in this little scene here. So after word
hit that this ageless actress, who will always show up
on time, will never bring personal drama to the set,
will never destroy her popularity with fake METO accusations or
(04:56):
alienate half her fandom with ignorant political musings. Might higher
representation through a legitimate talent agency, and the threats immediately began.
Actresses from all over the industry are furious about this.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They want her.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
They won't work with any talent agency that will work
with an AI actress. Here's the thing, guys, AI is
becoming very inexpensive, and very soon the major studios will
have two choices. Adapt and use it, or refuse to
adapt and get muscled out of the game by everyday
creators creating awesome stuff in their bedrooms. Anybody can do
this now, if the major studios and the talent agencies
(05:31):
allow themselves to be bullied into becoming the twenty first
century equivalent of a buggy whit manufacturer.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Hollywood becomes today's version of the bottomed out music industry,
with a handful of superstars, a barrel of aging stars,
and their former customer base scattered across the Internet, where
tens of thousands of creatives make a living but no
one really gets rich anymore. The music industry has been
balconized into something that would have been inconceivable when you
and I were little kids. New albums sold a million
(06:00):
copies back in the nineties. Now it is new artists
break every month, and to be honest, I'm not sure
how Hollywood avoids that fate, even by embracing AI. AI
is the great equalizer. As soon as studio quality technology
was available to everyday musicians with access to distribution, online
and home recording equipment they could purchase a guitar center,
(06:20):
the music business imploded. Other than cornering the market on
great storytelling by way of great writers, how Hollywood survives
as is when everyone can do what they do remains
a huge question. For the price of a computer and
some software and an Internet connection. Anyone could produce a
studio quality piece of music today and distribute it worldwide.
(06:43):
So that's what's going to happen with the video. With movies,
TV shows, films, I mean, look at publishing, guys. Will
movie theaters go the way of bookstores? If movies don't improve,
then yes they will. The garbage Hollywood currently turns out
cannot survive technology. Removing all the expensive roadblocks will allow
(07:04):
anyone to produce great video content. What's to stop a
Netflix from acquiring Joe Blow's streaming service, the one he
made in his garage for three hundred dollars an episode,
most of the three hundred dollars he probably spent on
Twizzlers and Red Bull. Why pay forty dollars to take
your date to the Disney piece of crap Star Wars
premiere when you have a three hundred dollars high definition
(07:26):
projector at home and you can download the latest sexy
thrillers starring Tilly Norwood.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
She's the AI actress. I was just talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Remember, some things are difficult to predict in a wild
and wooly world populated by endless compilations that come with
human nature. But twenty years ago we all wondered if
at some point movies and TVs would.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Move online, and we were right. They did.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Right the moment Netflix became common, we all knew it
was over for the major networks. So go ahead, cry
and blacklist all you want. It's not going to change anything,
Hollywood movie stars.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's never too early to learn that the government is
a greedy piglet that suckles on a taxpayer's teat until
they have sore, chapped nipples.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
The Pursuit of Happiness Radio on Am nine point fifty KPRC.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Breaking news from the Golden State. Do we still call
it that? I think maybe today we should call it
the Golden Shower State. Anyway, California says they are under attack.
Residents are being attacked by squirrels. You see, your dog
was right. They are evil. Hi, everybody, welcome back from break.
We don't have California to worry about today. We have
enough problems of our own right here in our own backyard.
(08:38):
There's been a lot of discussion lately about casinos again gambling.
The Alabama Cushata Tribe has announced they are building a
new casino resort on land owned by the tribe, but
not located on its reservation. On the line right now,
Brandon Waltons texascorecard dot com. Brandon, is this legal?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Well, that's the question, right that's the question that this
is raising. So people are generally saying quite casinos aren't
legal in Texas. The actual fact is a little bit
more of a gray area than that. There are actually
a couple of casinos in Texas. There what are called
Class two casinos. So they have mostly slot machines that
(09:17):
are powered by they say it's kind of run like bingo.
It's you know, more of a technical difference on what happens,
you know, behind on the back end of the machines.
But they're essentially you know, they have slot machines. They're
not allowed to have games where you play against the house.
So they're pretty honestly, I think farth casino goes. They're
pretty lame. That's why people mostly don't know that they
(09:39):
exist in Texas. But but there's a couple. There's one
down in Eagle Pass actually where there was a shooting
where a former DPS officer was a or Border Patrol
officer was killed. Actually this weekend in Eagle Pass. There's
one down there, and then there's one in Livingston, which
is sort of in East Texas not too far away
from the Houston area, that's owned by the Alabama Kushata Tribe,
(10:04):
and that casino is currently on their reservation. They're looking
at opening up another casino that would actually be in Legut, Texas,
which is a little bit of ways from Livingston, which
actually would not be on their reservation. And so the question, well,
are they legally allowed to do this? Well, you had
basically the Biden administration sort of open the door for
(10:25):
this sort of off reservation India and casino gaming in Texas.
The Attorney General's office says, you know, they're they're investigating that,
they're you know, going to see if this is legal
or not. But you know, this this sort of opens
the door. And look, whatever you think about casinos, you know,
(10:47):
this is is certainly an interesting case because it certainly
opens the door. Well, they're allowed to do this in
leg at Texas. Could they bring this into bigger cities?
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Right?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Could they open up you know, some land that they
own in Houston or or Santa Antonio or anything like that.
And right now, again we're talking about Class two casino
so this isn't really like you know, these aren't casinos
with big card games or anything like that. It's mostly
just slot machines. But interesting nonetheless.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, so here's what I don't understand. If they can
only have slot machines. We have these poker rooms all
over We've seen them right in the Gray area. There
is because you're not betting against the house, which you
sort of just explained, but the slot machines, that feels
like you are betting against the house.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So how is that legal?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Because the way they work, and it is really interesting
because you kind of get you can get in the
weeds into how exactly they differentiate this because they're bingo machines,
not technically slot machines, though they look and operate just
like slaw machines. You're playing not against the house, but
technically the way they're run as you're playing against other
people at the casino. So that's how they're able to
(11:52):
get around it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay, So and then do you guys have the poker
rooms where we have them all over Houston?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Now?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I think it's you know that they're
technically like membership based is sort of how they get
around it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
And yes, where did they outlawed? In Fort Worth or Dallas?
There's one city where they don't have them.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It's certainly not awesome. They're certainly all all over here.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, okay, well, hey, whatever, I don't want to spend
any more time talking about this. Let's move on unt
University in North Texas. We know this is probably the
most fervently far left university in the state. Everybody thinks
it's University of Texas or even A and M has
become pretty bad recently. I think University in North Texas
still takes the case. They have a course called American Demonology.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What the hell is that?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah? No, it's kidding. Yeah, you have a literal course
in demonology being taught at the University of North Texas
that you know is part of Believe it or Not,
as part of their Women's and Gender Studies program. Hi,
I'm not really sure how you know one thing ties
into another, but you know, talking about how Eve is
(13:03):
the first witch and talking about voodoo and witchcraft and stuff.
This is what's being taught at U and T not
the University of Texas at Austin, right, which you would
maybe expect this kind of behavior, but being taught at
U and T, which really to your point, we've had
the we've talked, you know a few times about some
stuff that's happened in YOU and T. A lot of
people don't realize of the state universities, You and T
(13:27):
probably is I think the most far left.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, of any publicly funded university.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
For sure. I've noticed lately witchcraft is kind of having
a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Witches claimed that they killed Charlie Kirk at Jezebel dot
com or some have claimed that because they put a
spell on him the week before he died. And then,
if I'm not mistaken, wasn't it just reported Star Wars
spent two hundred and fifty million dollars on their lesbian
witch TV show that nobody watched. And is that just
kind of a sign of the times, or is this
whole like satanic witchcraft thing always been going on and
(13:59):
I just didn't know, said, I.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Don't know, you know, I think that it certainly seems
like there's more that it's it's you know, it's certainly
not stuff to be messed around with. And I would
say it's certainly not something that adds a lot of
educational value. It's certainly something that taxpayer shouldn't be subsidizing,
and yet that's exactly what's happening at the University of
North Texas and Denton.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I sometimes suspect branding that people get into this weird
religion stuff because they're just bored. And if you're bored, man,
if you're bored, you should read the Bible, the Bible.
Game of Thrones has got nothing on the Bible. There's
incest and murder and war and all kinds of crazy
stuff in the Bible.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Oh, exactly right. I think there's there's plenty plenty to
be learned there. Yet some people turn to this, I
think because they think, you know, there's there's a certain
I think sector people that think, oh, this is sort
of edgy. I'll get into this, but it's a it's
a dark road, honestly, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I like our boy Brandon Creighton. Now he's in charge
of Texas Tech University.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah it will be soon. Yeah, Well they are cleaning
house over there, it's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Apparently there's a memo mandating faculty to uphold biological reality.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Is this as good as it sounds?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Well, it should be common sense, right, this shouldn't even
need to be said. And yet you've had the chancellor,
the outgoing chancellor, So brain cream is not even in
there yet. But they're they're they're already taking some big steps.
Where this memo written by the Chancellor of Texas Tech
to you know, the university in faculty and staff, mandating
that the adhered to laws, state laws that have been passed.
(15:31):
They're specifically only recognized to biological sexes. We had this
pass during this last session. And again I said, imagine
explaining ten years ago that this was something that needed
to be passed that explained what gender was. And yet
here we are, Well, this falls in line with the
executive order that President Trump issued in his first days
in office, essentially reiterating the same thing. So this has
(15:54):
been sent out to Texas Tech, but also there you know,
schools across the state that are part of the Texas
Tech University system. Well, as expected, you've got you know,
left wing media outlets essentially decrying this, saying that oh,
this is you know, this is some right wing takeover
of Texas Tech University simply because they want to acknowledge
(16:16):
that there are only two genders.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Okay, here's one more I want to get on the
record here before we're done. University of Texas Austin has
an assigned reading course on depressed trans sexuals and queer theory. Now, Brandon,
forget me for noticing, but depressed transsexuals. Isn't that a
little redundant?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
You know? Unfortunately unfortunately so right, the numbers would would
definitely tell you that. And yet this is of class
being taught, you know, at UT Austin. Look, we've been
going over as pouring over our investigative team over the
last couple of weeks, going through some of these course
catalogs for classes that are being taught or at least
being offered this semester, and universities across the state, and yes,
(16:57):
UT Austin is no is no One thing that is
a little different coming out of UT Austin is that
you've actually have their administration saying that they're conducting an
audit to assess these classes and we'll be reviewing it.
That's more than we have seen from some other university. So,
you know, while this stuff is certainly happening at UT Austin,
(17:18):
potentially they could be addressing it coming up in the
next semester.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Pretty before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
You and I were both at the rally last week
for a Club America for Stratford High School. This is
a high school chapter Turning Point, USA. I guess apparently
they call it Club America. I didn't know that till
last week. These were the kids who were docks. These
were the kids who were bullied and harassed by fully
grown adults on the internet for the crime of being
young conservatives. And then thousands came out to rally for
(17:47):
them last week, including the Attorney General of Texas. You
were there, I was there, the TZARREV talk radio was there,
Michael Barry. I mean it was quite the Abraham George,
the chairman of the Texas Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I gotta think those kids won.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Oh certainly. Yeah, there were a ton of people out there,
But then there were also a ton of I mean,
there were a lot of students there too, you know, Uh,
there were there were a ton of students coming in.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
You know.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I think we had talked about it while we were there,
but I'm just comparing. You know, what was I doing
in high school. It wasn't anything like this. Uh, And
to see students you know in high school that are
actually engaged and have been effectively activated because of what
happened with Charlie kirk right a few just a few
(18:31):
weeks ago. You know, seeing that kind of action being
taken where they want to they want to stamp up,
they want to start these groups. And you know, we're
hearing stories that this is happening not just across Texas
but across the country. And I think that's a really
a really positive thing that we can see take place
from this tragedy.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It is an amazing time to be aligned for everybody
except for liberals and communists.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And frankly, I am here for Brandon Waltons.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The website's called Texas scorecard dot com. Follow him on
x subscribe to their email list. It is chock full
of great information. You'll be glad you did it.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
To the government and started listening to the Proceeds of
Happiness Radio with k Websternitia aka producer.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Kenny all Right.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Meatball posta meals sold at Walmart may be contaminated with
Listeria bacteria. Now, the good news is Walmart's just going
to relabel them as quick weight loss supplements, so it works, right,
it's fine. Hi, everybody, welcome back. It's all about branding
in this country. That's what I always say. You know,
you look at what's going on in Hollywood right now,
(19:39):
and a lot of people wonder, well Hollywood still exists
in a generation. People in Hollywood are leaving the city
in mass so they are the state rather so they
can produce films in other parts of the country. Meanwhile,
the energy industry is seeing some pretty big changes. A
lot of you work in the industry. Maybe you've heard
a big announcement was just made. The Trump administration is
(19:59):
going to put six hundred twenty five million dollars towards
keeping coal plants open and lowering energy costs. I'm not
anti coal, I never have been, but a very much
pro nuclear energy. So I always wonder is this the
best investment? Should we build another nuclear power plant? Here
on the line right now, my local energy industry expert
Daniel Turner from How Are the Future? Daniel just back
(20:22):
from his trip to Australia. What'd you learn while you
were there?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Okay's great with you. Australia is the world's largest coal producer.
They have huge coal reserves and they're doing to Australia.
What the Biden administration did to coal is that they're
going after coal, that promising this great new green tomorrow
and the process they're making life really expensive. So I
welcome this decision. You know, I think there's huge misconceptions
(20:50):
about coal in America. There's misconceptions that it's dirty, that
it's antiquated. A third of our electricity still comes from coal.
And if you think, you know, energy prices are expensive,
then you would welcome anything to make coal stronger, and
not only for electricity. But we can't make cement without coal.
We can't make steel without coal. So we need coal
(21:12):
a lot. And this idea that we're going to get
rid of coal is absolute stupidity.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, I mean, you're onto something heary.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
In the meantime, China actually opens a coal burning fire
power plant a coal fired power plant once about it
once every two weeks. I've read that before. Is that
accurate information?
Speaker 7 (21:30):
It's accurate in the sense of the size of the
coal plants that they're building and the frequency, so it's
not literally like every week they open one. But if
your average coal plant is five hundred megawatts six hundred megawats,
well they're putting around two thousand megawats online of coal
every month. So yeah, I mean in terms of numbers
that is, it is very similar. And the problem there
(21:52):
is the opportunity there is Why is China choosing coal.
It's because coal works, right. It doesn't matter if the
wind blowing or the sun is shining. It doesn't matter
if it matter if you get an awful ice storm
like Texas experience going on five years ago. Coal always operates,
and that's why China is doing it. They take their
electricity seriously. So again I welcome the administration saying, hey, look,
(22:17):
a third of our electricity comes from coal. We've punished
coal ridiculously. The Biden administration went after coal deliberately, and
we're paying thirty forty percent more for electricity. So let's
go back to supporting what works rather than promising this
green tomorrow. Right. How many years of Texas promise we're
going to have this great tomorrow and your electricity builds
(22:38):
are through the roof. So no more promises. Let's go
back to what works.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Okay, So our coal burning power plants are a little
different than China's in terms of pollution, right.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Oh, absolutely, because there are ways to mitigate emissions when
it comes to coal, and America does that very very responsibly.
China doesn't, nor do they worry about groundwater contamination, nor
do they worry about slave labors. So yeah, they can
also build these cold plants a lot faster than we can,
because when you don't care about human rights, you get
(23:08):
things done quickly, which is why we outsourced to China. Right,
It's why Nike moves to China. It's why it's why
Apple makes things in China. Nine year old girls do
not require an awful lot of healthcare. And you know,
you open this cliff talking about Hollywood, there's a reason
why people make movies in other countries. Hollywood's really damn expensive.
(23:29):
You know, every time we have one of these arguments,
we need paid paternity leave one month. Okay, I think
that's a lovely notion. But if we're going to give
people a month off of paternity leave, that's going to
cost the company a fortune. So they're going to look
elsewhere to be cheap. Why do they leave Hollywood. It's
not because they like filming in China. It's because Hollywood
(23:51):
made life really expensive. So on the one I appreciate
what Trump is doing with the tariffs on Hollywood. But
on the other we need to address why companies are leaving.
We need to address why Apple would prefer to use
slave labor then manufacture something in Ohio. And until we
have that hard reckoning with maternity leave and paternity leave
(24:12):
and free childcare and free abortions and everyone gets new
glasses and all of the stuff we require of our businesses,
companies are going to continue to leave America.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
All right, Let's back up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So Trump made a big announcement earlier, and it depending
on where you're look at, it was reported differently. USA
Today and Axios both report he is threatening to impose
one hundred percent tariffs on movies. CNN and Reuters say
he is going to impose one hundred percent tariffs on movies.
Whether he's doing it or not, you got to admit,
one hundred percent tariff is a lot. How would that
(24:44):
even work? It's a tariff on the movie ticket or
the DVD sales or what would that even?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
What would it be?
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Yeah, that's a that's a really great question. I don't
know how you tariff a movie. I don't know when
you if you sell the movie rights. For example, if
I make a movie in in a foreign country and
now I have to sell it to the distributor here
in America so that it's in your local movie theater,
maybe that's where the tariff is imposed. And so they're
not going to buy foreign made films because they can't
(25:12):
afford them or they pay the tariff, but they'll jack
up the prices on movie tickets. So that is a
little bit tricky. Again, I appreciate what President Trump, frank,
which is say, I am tired of people taking great
American industries like oil, which is a thoroughly American industry,
or Hollywood, which is a thoroughly American industry, or tech
(25:36):
right the the iPhone, thoroughly American technology industry. I'm tired
of them taking thoroughly American things and then going elsewhere
because it's cheaper. It's cheaper to make them, and so
I appreciate that effort. But I also understand like there's
a reason why companies flee America, and that's because bad
(25:57):
liberal policies have driven them out, and we need to
address that.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, Speaking of let's talk a little bit more
about the entertainment industry since we're on that topic right now.
They just announced to the super Bowl performers get the
halftime show. They wanted Taylor Swift instead, they're getting Bad Bunny.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I don't really care who the halftime show before. It's
not for me. I don't listen to pop music. I
never care. But Bad Bunny is this guy who just
said he's never performing in the United States again as
a response to Donald Trump winning the election and cracking
down any illegal immigration. Not long after saying he'd never
perform in the United States again for fear that ice
(26:33):
might raid the venue outside his show, the Puerto Rican
pop star Bad Bunny is going to perform at.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
The super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I'm pretty you know, at pop culture savvy. I couldn't
tell you one of his songs. I don't know his music.
I don't speak Spanish. Who is this for?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Exactly? Who is the NFL halftime show for? If you
look at the last like four or five years of
the halftime shows, they are targets being a very specific demographic,
and it's not the guys who watch football. I understand
as a desire to make the NFL have a have
a wider audience, right, It's why we have all these
stupid games in London and in Dublin, and you can't
(27:15):
even watch half the your your, your, your games because
they're played in foreign countries. Because they're trying to appeal
to a new audience. I get it, but but you
get a little tired of these these companies, these sports
companies that hate their core fan base, whether it's what
they charge for for tickets, whether it's what they charge
for beer, or whether it's the fact that they keep
(27:35):
driving you out of driving their games out out of
the stadium. So so the NFL have Time is just
part of this larger trend of kind of given the
middle finger to the fan base. And if you want
a halftime show that would appeal to the NFL fan base,
it's Morgan Wallin, right. I mean, that's that's who watches football,
(27:56):
that's who loves football. So why are you trying to
bring somebody who probably does clearly doesn't like America, doesn't
really like football, doesn't like football culture. Why the hell
would you choose him? And the answer is because your
football fans hate you, right, football, your football audience owners,
they don't like you, and they don't care about you
(28:19):
at all. And that's kind of got to come to
an end as far as I'm.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Concerned, Daniel, Are you old enough to remember why the
Super Bowl halftime shows had these stars studded, you know,
pop stars perferre didn't used to be that way. Way
back in the nineties, there was a Super Bowl halftime
show with a marching band and a fireworks display whatever
they normally do back in the day.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
And Fox Fox, you know the TV network, the Fox channel,
just Fox decided, you know what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
We're gonna get everyone to change the channel during the
halftime show, and they did. Everybody turned to the channel
and they watched in living color with some celebrity musical
guest and Jim Carrey and the Wayans brothers. The ratings
were off the charts, and then when it was over,
everybody went back and turned the football game on. The
following year, the NFL decided to come out and they said,
you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna book Michael Jackson,
(29:06):
We're gonna have the Blues Brothers, We're gonna have you know,
We're gonna have zz Top And that was when that started.
Wouldn't it be interesting with bad Bunny as the halftime show.
If this was the year one of the competing networks said, Hey,
we're gonna do a better halftime show. We're gonna do
a halftime show for football fans. We're going to book
an act you care about. We'll get Hank Williams Junior
or somebody like or Morgan Wallen. To your point, I mean,
(29:26):
you got to admit. It's like I only come up
with two kinds of ideas, crazy and genius, and I
feel like that one is genius.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
I think this is an absolutely genius idea. I don't
know what network has the super Bowl this year, but
I think you're absolutely spot on. If a rival network
said we are going to time this in such a
way kind of what they do with the Puppy Bowl,
right they realize there's enough people who get tired of
of pregame shows and they want to watch a couple
of puppies run around. I think you're onto something genius
(29:53):
to say a rival network, we will time this, because
if I'm at someone's house, or if I'm having a
Super Bowl party and I get to the halftime, I'm
not gonna watch some kind of sexual, pervert, degenerate who
doesn't speak my language and hates my country and my culture.
I'm not going to watch him dance around for twenty minutes, nobody.
You're gonna put it on mute. If you offer me
an alternative that says we're gonna have a cheerleaders and
(30:18):
fighter jets and red, white and blue and Morgan Wallen
and Hank Jr. Absolutely, I'm turning the channel. And you
know what, if it's good enough and the games stinks,
I may not turn back.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
All right, what about this?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You know, we were just talking about the NFL having
games in other cities and other countries rather Pittsburgh Steelers
quarterback Skyler Thompson was robbed in Iron He got mugged.
He got robbed in Ireland on Friday night while the
NFL is over there having a football game. Isn't that
the exact country that Rosi O'Donnell moved to because Donald
Trump's America was too dangerous.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
I don't think they have been willing to put out
any information on the mugger. I've been to Doubling a
bunch from Irish stock. Irish are very pugnacious people, but
they don't really rob from you. So if you want
to say, like, Han, does Ireland have a migration crisis?
It's a blanket accusation on my part, But I think
I would mortgage my farm, and as you know, I
(31:15):
literally have a farm to mortgage. I would bet the
farm and the fact that this is your third world
cultural and riching migrant on the streets of Dublin. Last
time I went to Dublin, it was almost unrecognizable, and
I have a hunch that that's exactly who did this.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
It sounds like you're suggesting the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skyler
Thompson was probably mugged by a guy named Mohammed and
not a guy named Dale, is what you're saying.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Lots of bar fights at Dublin. But again, they don't
rob you. They just punch you in the nose, because
that's what Irish like to do. Right. The oldest joke
is two irishmen are walking down the block and see
a fight and one says to the other, you think
this is a private fight or can anyone join in?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Right?
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Like, Irish people like to fight, but they don't steal.
They're not a stealing culture. They're just a punch culture.
Not Irish. I can say that.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
He could say it exactly. It's yeah, And I can
make fun of Catholics because I am one. His name
is Daniel Turner. Follow him on X.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Power of the Future is his group.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
If you're in the energy industry, you owe it to
yourselves to keep up with the work they're doing.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
All right, No, I find this whole conversation to be
extremely offensive.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Pursuit of Happiness radio continues.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Okay, so Amazon, you know, Amazon, the company, not the rainforest.
Amazon was fined for tricking people into signing up for Prime. Now,
before you judge them, how accurate is that photo on
your dating profile?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm just curious? Should that be legal? Should I say?
Speaker 7 (32:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I think we should round all those people up and
concentrate them together and put them on a train.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
In all seriousness, though, Donald Trump puts something very interesting
on his X account, well is technically his truth's social
account last night, and it's not about what you would think.
It's not a Joe Biden in his autopan or. It
feels like something big is about to happen with the
drug laws in this country. Let me play a minute
of this.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
We've all heard about the major systems in our bodies,
like the digestive, respiratory, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. But there's
one essential system discovered in the nineties that you probably
never heard of. It makes all of the other systems
work smoothly with each other, like a conductor, ensuring the
different sections of an orchestra all play a beautiful symphony together.
(33:34):
This system is called the endocannabinoid system. It has been
acknowledged and studied by scientists extensively with support from the
National Institutes of Health. As we age, the system weakens.
As a result, the different systems in our bodies stop
working together smoothly. That's one of the reasons older adults
struggle with pain, inflammation, cognitive decline, and other ailments of aging,
(33:58):
for which doctors often prescribe dangerous and addictive pharmaceuticals. They
also recommend lifestyle remedies such as exercise, good diet, and
stress management. And while all these improve the system, it
is only fractionally in over a long time. But here's
the game changer. The system can be restored faster using
(34:18):
HEMP derived CBD. When the system is restored, pain subsides,
sleep is improved, and stress is reduced. When the system
is restored, disease progression can slow down and years are
added to your life, as well as years spending good health.
And twenty percent of seniors are already using CBD today
(34:39):
for pain, arthritis, cancer symptoms, sleep disorders, Alzheimer's and many
other elements of agent.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Wait a second, isn't that the thing that Dan Patrick's
been trying to outlaw the CBD shops and the Delta
AG shops and the you know, all the little low
grade THHC stores all over the state. I thought Lieutenant
Governor Dan Patrick didn't want that. Donald Trump's out promoting
it on his social media account. And yet we've been
told by so many old school Rhino Republicans that they're
(35:07):
the new movement of mega Yet weirdly they don't embrace this.
I wonder if something BIG's about to happen. Apparently, State
Representative Briscoe Kane, currently running for Congress over on the
east side of Houston, has a prediction to make brisco
Can you hear me? I can hear you, brisco is
something big about to happen? If you had to bet
money on polymarket dot com. Not that you're an advocate
(35:29):
for gambling. What would you bet.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I would be betting the difficulty is hedge it, but
I would bet that either they were about to reschedule
or DESCHEDULEMP.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Okay, what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Yeah, yeah, Well, descheduling would essentially be removing it from
the Controlled Substance Act, that's essentially a federal legalization. Rescheduling
would be that currently medical marijuana's schedules a Class one,
meaning it has no medical value, and directly they may
reschedule it down to it two, which doesn't fully legalize it,
(36:06):
but at least recognizes there's legitimate uses for the substance,
which that opens it up for more things to be used. Granted,
if there's a man or an organization or a campaign
that has their polls on what the American people want,
I can guarantee you it's Donald Trump. And with that
ad that you just played, if you were to watch
(36:27):
it or pay more attention to it, the people they're
focusing on the demographic It ain't you and I right,
it's the folks from the seventies that enjoyed the product
then and still want to enjoy it now. These are
the over sixty five demographic that I believe Governor Greg
Abbott tapped into and saw when he vetoed that bill.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Yeah, okay, so I think you're onto something here.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
It seems like Dan Patrick, you know that that's the
group of people that he seems to be trying to
outlaw those products for. Yet they might actually be the
group of people that would benefit the most from them,
wouldn't They certainly would.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
It's a fascinating that it discusses the indo cannabinoid system
is something that was in our bodies at birth that
is designed with receptors for cannabinoids.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah, fascinate. I mean, it really is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Okay, So I guess you know, I don't expect you
don't know the answer to this question. But Joe Biden
claims to be an ally to low income inner city
people and an ally to minorities and stuff like that,
and even as signaled support for the marijuana industry. Yet weirdly,
he never went out and rescheduled or rescheduled Why do
you think that is?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Because he really, at the end of the day, wants
to keep those people on the welfare state. We know
why we keep them down, You keep them becoming your voters.
You don't really care about freedom.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, I mean exactly right.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Didn't he actually kick some of his staff members out
of the White House because they legally consumed marijuana.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
I don't know if you're aware of that or not,
but he did.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
What an odd one the Democrats claim to be all
pro marijuana, like they to claim to be all pro
gay or pro women. But it was Trump who was
the first president to support gay marriage in his first term,
the first guy to go out. Republicans were the first
ones to have a female Press secretary. Republicans were the
first to have an openly gay cabinet member. It feels like,
(38:25):
at the end of the day, the thing that Democrats
are claiming to be the party of for everyone, the
party of unification, the party of the average person. You know,
that's what the Republicans are. I mean, am I wrong?
It certainly seems that way.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Now, Look, we're the party of personal responsibility. With that
person responsibility, you recognize people are adults and need to
be free to make certain decisions, and this is an
area where certainly one I believe that people should be
free to make these decisions with certain restrictions.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
We still need to raise the age, make sure these
packaging and things aren't targeting kids, get rid of the
dangerous athetics. There's some regulation we do need, but we
recognize that the adults are adults and we should facilitate
them to act upon their liberty.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
All right.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
College Republicans have been all over the news lately, you know,
young conservatives have been all over the news, whether it's
high school or college groups. And obviously Charlie Kirk is
a big part of the reason why. But since then,
so much has happened with turning point us say, right
here in our own community, young conservatives being targeted at
Stratford High School.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
You were a college Republican, were you not? I was?
I was, Yes, I was.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
I was the vice president of the College Republicans at
the University use in downtown, So of course I was
president of the Federal Socity in Law School, president of
the of Law Students for Life. There we were the
first p Life Lawston organization that's to the Mississippi and
president of the Law Student Republicans. We hosted debates. I've
experienced what it's like to have faculty discriminated against you.
(39:58):
I had, I had a Ted Cruz sticker on my
my laptop in law school and a pro life sticker,
and I went and thinking, oh, yeah, this is going
to affect my grades and how these people do that.
And we've now continued to see that as a reality.
In fact, right I've had my I've had a speech
shut down at TSU. So I've been, you know, shut
down by BLM protesters. And in fact, I carried the
(40:19):
author of the campus free speech legislation in twenty nineteen
that we passed to try and rein in this nonsense,
so allow students to have, you know, places to speak
without being shut down by the administration.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
So you were vice president of your college Republican club
and now you're a conservative with a national platform, You're
a lawmaker in the biggest conservative state.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
In the country.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I'm just curious, who is the president of your college
Republican club.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
That's too funny.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
I do remember her, and she was.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Older, but Prisco would shock you to learn. I was
never the manager of my college radio station. I was
the music director and the college and the manager at
the station was constantly trying to explain to me what
I didn't understand.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
About radio. Oh that's too funny.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah, but some people in Houstonario may know her though
Leslie's shadow was the president. I make it a text
letter if people find out if they know who that.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Is Leslie's president of the club. Is she on X
or anything like that?
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Yeah, I believe so. You probably find her an actor
or Facebook.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, I guess in the end, you kind of won
and she lost. Is there anything you want to tell her?
Speaker 3 (41:28):
She's doing great.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
She's still engaged with the party and advancing the party platform.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
It's a wonderful thing, Risco.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
In the meantime, you're running for Congress and people want
to learn more about your candidacy.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
What can they do?
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Yeah, well, hey, if you guys want to understand why
we're running, it's pretty simple, you know. And it was
proud to be on the on the ballot at the
same time as president in twenty sixteen. We when we
took on the establishment and won. To want to continue
my fight against establishment. You can find us at briscocane
dot com or at briscocine on X and things like that.
(42:00):
You have the follow and help us ensure that Al
Green never again shakes his cane at the President. You
know while you're there, good and send us nine.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Bucks if you like my brother.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Hey, to the rest of you, don't forget this Sunday,
we are going to be having a comedy show at

Is this a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Or what.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Brypart dot com today reporting on the outrage over an
AI generated actress Tilly Norwood. A bunch of human actors
who are actually much less appealing than Telly Norma Wood
an AI creation are threatening to blacklist any talent agency
that lists that is willing to represent adorable little Tilly.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Oh no, you guys are mad at a robot.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
There's an ongoing war against artificial intelligence in Hollywood, and
it's not only hypocritical, it's futile. If you need proof,
listen to this. This is This is from the same
people who created Tilly Norwood, and she is featured in
this video.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The video you're about to view is one hundred percent
AI generated. No humans or bears were real.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
New TV was dead, but thought why not squeeze.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
In one last development meeting, we had one rule.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No missing children, no dead women, and no reboots of Heartbeat.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
We'd pitched this beautiful comedy two sisters running a funeral
parlor in Margate, warm, weird, very BBC two commissioner said,
no AI generated one hundred better ideas in minutes, perfectly
aligned to channel data, viewing figures and optimized for the audience.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
The winning AI format I.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Know what you streamed last summer.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
An interactive thriller built from your streaming history and delivery orders.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What and who could forget the mental health.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Format Britain's got breakdown audience.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I'm gonna turn it down, writer, I'm gonna stop it
for a second. You get that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
These sound like real people, It looks like real people,
It looks like they're in a real place. As the
videos moving from one scene to the next. They're in
an office, they're in somebody's house, they're standing by a pool.
The video is one hundred percent artificial intelligence. And right
around the one minute and twenty six second mark, you
meet Tilly Norwood, the new AI supers.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
AI generated by some company called Particle six.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And Tilly is you know, looks like a pretty woman.
She's not a woman, she's software, but she looks pretty
and her appeal, her charisma immediately pop off the screen.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's it, game over.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Nothing else matters, especially in present day Hollywood, populated by
generic actresses who look like they were scooped out of
a mall in Santa Monica. She has an Instagram account.
As a matter of fact, she already has fans. Her
Instagram account has fifteen thousand followers. Quite a few followers
for not a real person who didn't exist until a
few minutes ago. I mean still doesn't technically exist. She
(04:15):
has a twenty second reel. It's the only thing that
strikes me as fake is the fact that she is
British and has perfect teeth. I find that to be
a little hard to believe. But yeah, there's a scene
in a movie where she's standing and out in the
middle of the like, where is she? She's standing by
some monsters and I'm watching it right now on my screen.
I thought there'd be audio to go with it, but
(04:35):
apparently there's not. In twenty seconds, she fights monsters, she
runs from explosions, she sells a car. She almost won
an oscar in this little scene here. So after word
hit that this ageless actress, who will always show up
on time, will never bring personal drama to the set,
will never destroy her popularity with fake METO accusations or
(04:56):
alienate half her fandom with ignorant political musings. Might higher
representation through a legitimate talent agency, and the threats immediately began.
Actresses from all over the industry are furious about this.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They want her.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
They won't work with any talent agency that will work
with an AI actress. Here's the thing, guys, AI is
becoming very inexpensive, and very soon the major studios will
have two choices. Adapt and use it, or refuse to
adapt and get muscled out of the game by everyday
creators creating awesome stuff in their bedrooms. Anybody can do
this now, if the major studios and the talent agencies
(05:31):
allow themselves to be bullied into becoming the twenty first
century equivalent of a buggy whit manufacturer.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
It's over.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Hollywood becomes today's version of the bottomed out music industry,
with a handful of superstars, a barrel of aging stars,
and their former customer base scattered across the Internet, where
tens of thousands of creatives make a living but no
one really gets rich anymore. The music industry has been
balconized into something that would have been inconceivable when you
and I were little kids. New albums sold a million
(06:00):
copies back in the nineties. Now it is new artists
break every month, and to be honest, I'm not sure
how Hollywood avoids that fate, even by embracing AI. AI
is the great equalizer. As soon as studio quality technology
was available to everyday musicians with access to distribution, online
and home recording equipment they could purchase a guitar center,
(06:20):
the music business imploded. Other than cornering the market on
great storytelling by way of great writers, how Hollywood survives
as is when everyone can do what they do remains
a huge question. For the price of a computer and
some software and an Internet connection. Anyone could produce a
studio quality piece of music today and distribute it worldwide.
(06:43):
So that's what's going to happen with the video. With movies,
TV shows, films, I mean, look at publishing, guys. Will
movie theaters go the way of bookstores? If movies don't improve,
then yes they will. The garbage Hollywood currently turns out
cannot survive technology. Removing all the expensive roadblocks will allow
(07:04):
anyone to produce great video content. What's to stop a
Netflix from acquiring Joe Blow's streaming service, the one he
made in his garage for three hundred dollars an episode,
most of the three hundred dollars he probably spent on
Twizzlers and Red Bull. Why pay forty dollars to take
your date to the Disney piece of crap Star Wars
premiere when you have a three hundred dollars high definition
(07:26):
projector at home and you can download the latest sexy
thrillers starring Tilly Norwood.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
She's the AI actress. I was just talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Remember, some things are difficult to predict in a wild
and wooly world populated by endless compilations that come with
human nature. But twenty years ago we all wondered if
at some point movies and TVs would.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Move online, and we were right. They did.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Right the moment Netflix became common, we all knew it
was over for the major networks. So go ahead, cry
and blacklist all you want. It's not going to change anything,
Hollywood movie stars.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's never too early to learn that the government is
a greedy piglet that suckles on a taxpayer's teat until
they have sore, chapped nipples.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
The Pursuit of Happiness Radio on Am nine point fifty KPRC.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Breaking news from the Golden State. Do we still call
it that? I think maybe today we should call it
the Golden Shower State. Anyway, California says they are under attack.
Residents are being attacked by squirrels. You see, your dog
was right. They are evil. Hi, everybody, welcome back from break.
We don't have California to worry about today. We have
enough problems of our own right here in our own backyard.
(08:38):
There's been a lot of discussion lately about casinos again gambling.
The Alabama Cushata Tribe has announced they are building a
new casino resort on land owned by the tribe, but
not located on its reservation. On the line right now,
Brandon Waltons texascorecard dot com. Brandon, is this legal?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Well, that's the question, right that's the question that this
is raising. So people are generally saying quite casinos aren't
legal in Texas. The actual fact is a little bit
more of a gray area than that. There are actually
a couple of casinos in Texas. There what are called
Class two casinos. So they have mostly slot machines that
(09:17):
are powered by they say it's kind of run like bingo.
It's you know, more of a technical difference on what happens,
you know, behind on the back end of the machines.
But they're essentially you know, they have slot machines. They're
not allowed to have games where you play against the house.
So they're pretty honestly, I think farth casino goes. They're
pretty lame. That's why people mostly don't know that they
(09:39):
exist in Texas. But but there's a couple. There's one
down in Eagle Pass actually where there was a shooting
where a former DPS officer was a or Border Patrol
officer was killed. Actually this weekend in Eagle Pass. There's
one down there, and then there's one in Livingston, which
is sort of in East Texas not too far away
from the Houston area, that's owned by the Alabama Kushata Tribe,
(10:04):
and that casino is currently on their reservation. They're looking
at opening up another casino that would actually be in Legut, Texas,
which is a little bit of ways from Livingston, which
actually would not be on their reservation. And so the question, well,
are they legally allowed to do this? Well, you had
basically the Biden administration sort of open the door for
(10:25):
this sort of off reservation India and casino gaming in Texas.
The Attorney General's office says, you know, they're they're investigating that,
they're you know, going to see if this is legal
or not. But you know, this this sort of opens
the door. And look, whatever you think about casinos, you know,
(10:47):
this is is certainly an interesting case because it certainly
opens the door. Well, they're allowed to do this in
leg at Texas. Could they bring this into bigger cities?
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Right?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Could they open up you know, some land that they
own in Houston or or Santa Antonio or anything like that.
And right now, again we're talking about Class two casino
so this isn't really like you know, these aren't casinos
with big card games or anything like that. It's mostly
just slot machines. But interesting nonetheless.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, so here's what I don't understand. If they can
only have slot machines. We have these poker rooms all
over We've seen them right in the Gray area. There
is because you're not betting against the house, which you
sort of just explained, but the slot machines, that feels
like you are betting against the house.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So how is that legal?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Because the way they work, and it is really interesting
because you kind of get you can get in the
weeds into how exactly they differentiate this because they're bingo machines,
not technically slot machines, though they look and operate just
like slaw machines. You're playing not against the house, but
technically the way they're run as you're playing against other
people at the casino. So that's how they're able to
(11:52):
get around it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay, So and then do you guys have the poker
rooms where we have them all over Houston?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Now?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I think it's you know that they're
technically like membership based is sort of how they get
around it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
And yes, where did they outlawed? In Fort Worth or Dallas?
There's one city where they don't have them.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It's certainly not awesome. They're certainly all all over here.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, okay, well, hey, whatever, I don't want to spend
any more time talking about this. Let's move on unt
University in North Texas. We know this is probably the
most fervently far left university in the state. Everybody thinks
it's University of Texas or even A and M has
become pretty bad recently. I think University in North Texas
still takes the case. They have a course called American Demonology.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What the hell is that?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah? No, it's kidding. Yeah, you have a literal course
in demonology being taught at the University of North Texas
that you know is part of Believe it or Not,
as part of their Women's and Gender Studies program. Hi,
I'm not really sure how you know one thing ties
into another, but you know, talking about how Eve is
(13:03):
the first witch and talking about voodoo and witchcraft and stuff.
This is what's being taught at U and T not
the University of Texas at Austin, right, which you would
maybe expect this kind of behavior, but being taught at
U and T, which really to your point, we've had
the we've talked, you know a few times about some
stuff that's happened in YOU and T. A lot of
people don't realize of the state universities, You and T
(13:27):
probably is I think the most far left.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, of any publicly funded university.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
For sure. I've noticed lately witchcraft is kind of having
a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Witches claimed that they killed Charlie Kirk at Jezebel dot
com or some have claimed that because they put a
spell on him the week before he died. And then,
if I'm not mistaken, wasn't it just reported Star Wars
spent two hundred and fifty million dollars on their lesbian
witch TV show that nobody watched. And is that just
kind of a sign of the times, or is this
whole like satanic witchcraft thing always been going on and
(13:59):
I just didn't know, said, I.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Don't know, you know, I think that it certainly seems
like there's more that it's it's you know, it's certainly
not stuff to be messed around with. And I would
say it's certainly not something that adds a lot of
educational value. It's certainly something that taxpayer shouldn't be subsidizing,
and yet that's exactly what's happening at the University of
North Texas and Denton.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I sometimes suspect branding that people get into this weird
religion stuff because they're just bored. And if you're bored, man,
if you're bored, you should read the Bible, the Bible.
Game of Thrones has got nothing on the Bible. There's
incest and murder and war and all kinds of crazy
stuff in the Bible.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Oh, exactly right. I think there's there's plenty plenty to
be learned there. Yet some people turn to this, I
think because they think, you know, there's there's a certain
I think sector people that think, oh, this is sort
of edgy. I'll get into this, but it's a it's
a dark road, honestly, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I like our boy Brandon Creighton. Now he's in charge
of Texas Tech University.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah it will be soon. Yeah, Well they are cleaning
house over there, it's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Apparently there's a memo mandating faculty to uphold biological reality.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Is this as good as it sounds?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Well, it should be common sense, right, this shouldn't even
need to be said. And yet you've had the chancellor,
the outgoing chancellor, So brain cream is not even in
there yet. But they're they're they're already taking some big steps.
Where this memo written by the Chancellor of Texas Tech
to you know, the university in faculty and staff, mandating
that the adhered to laws, state laws that have been passed.
(15:31):
They're specifically only recognized to biological sexes. We had this
pass during this last session. And again I said, imagine
explaining ten years ago that this was something that needed
to be passed that explained what gender was. And yet
here we are, Well, this falls in line with the
executive order that President Trump issued in his first days
in office, essentially reiterating the same thing. So this has
(15:54):
been sent out to Texas Tech, but also there you know,
schools across the state that are part of the Texas
Tech University system. Well, as expected, you've got you know,
left wing media outlets essentially decrying this, saying that oh,
this is you know, this is some right wing takeover
of Texas Tech University simply because they want to acknowledge
(16:16):
that there are only two genders.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Okay, here's one more I want to get on the
record here before we're done. University of Texas Austin has
an assigned reading course on depressed trans sexuals and queer theory. Now, Brandon,
forget me for noticing, but depressed transsexuals. Isn't that a
little redundant?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
You know? Unfortunately unfortunately so right, the numbers would would
definitely tell you that. And yet this is of class
being taught, you know, at UT Austin. Look, we've been
going over as pouring over our investigative team over the
last couple of weeks, going through some of these course
catalogs for classes that are being taught or at least
being offered this semester, and universities across the state, and yes,
(16:57):
UT Austin is no is no One thing that is
a little different coming out of UT Austin is that
you've actually have their administration saying that they're conducting an
audit to assess these classes and we'll be reviewing it.
That's more than we have seen from some other university. So,
you know, while this stuff is certainly happening at UT Austin,
(17:18):
potentially they could be addressing it coming up in the
next semester.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Pretty before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
You and I were both at the rally last week
for a Club America for Stratford High School. This is
a high school chapter Turning Point, USA. I guess apparently
they call it Club America. I didn't know that till
last week. These were the kids who were docks. These
were the kids who were bullied and harassed by fully
grown adults on the internet for the crime of being
young conservatives. And then thousands came out to rally for
(17:47):
them last week, including the Attorney General of Texas. You
were there, I was there, the TZARREV talk radio was there,
Michael Barry. I mean it was quite the Abraham George,
the chairman of the Texas Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I gotta think those kids won.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Oh certainly. Yeah, there were a ton of people out there,
But then there were also a ton of I mean,
there were a lot of students there too, you know, Uh,
there were there were a ton of students coming in.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
You know.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I think we had talked about it while we were there,
but I'm just comparing. You know, what was I doing
in high school. It wasn't anything like this. Uh, And
to see students you know in high school that are
actually engaged and have been effectively activated because of what
happened with Charlie kirk right a few just a few
(18:31):
weeks ago. You know, seeing that kind of action being
taken where they want to they want to stamp up,
they want to start these groups. And you know, we're
hearing stories that this is happening not just across Texas
but across the country. And I think that's a really
a really positive thing that we can see take place
from this tragedy.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It is an amazing time to be aligned for everybody
except for liberals and communists.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And frankly, I am here for Brandon Waltons.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The website's called Texas scorecard dot com. Follow him on
x subscribe to their email list. It is chock full
of great information. You'll be glad you did it.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
To the government and started listening to the Proceeds of
Happiness Radio with k Websternitia aka producer.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Kenny all Right.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Meatball posta meals sold at Walmart may be contaminated with
Listeria bacteria. Now, the good news is Walmart's just going
to relabel them as quick weight loss supplements, so it works, right,
it's fine. Hi, everybody, welcome back. It's all about branding
in this country. That's what I always say. You know,
you look at what's going on in Hollywood right now,
(19:39):
and a lot of people wonder, well Hollywood still exists
in a generation. People in Hollywood are leaving the city
in mass so they are the state rather so they
can produce films in other parts of the country. Meanwhile,
the energy industry is seeing some pretty big changes. A
lot of you work in the industry. Maybe you've heard
a big announcement was just made. The Trump administration is
(19:59):
going to put six hundred twenty five million dollars towards
keeping coal plants open and lowering energy costs. I'm not
anti coal, I never have been, but a very much
pro nuclear energy. So I always wonder is this the
best investment? Should we build another nuclear power plant? Here
on the line right now, my local energy industry expert
Daniel Turner from How Are the Future? Daniel just back
(20:22):
from his trip to Australia. What'd you learn while you
were there?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Okay's great with you. Australia is the world's largest coal producer.
They have huge coal reserves and they're doing to Australia.
What the Biden administration did to coal is that they're
going after coal, that promising this great new green tomorrow
and the process they're making life really expensive. So I
welcome this decision. You know, I think there's huge misconceptions
(20:50):
about coal in America. There's misconceptions that it's dirty, that
it's antiquated. A third of our electricity still comes from coal.
And if you think, you know, energy prices are expensive,
then you would welcome anything to make coal stronger, and
not only for electricity. But we can't make cement without coal.
We can't make steel without coal. So we need coal
(21:12):
a lot. And this idea that we're going to get
rid of coal is absolute stupidity.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, I mean, you're onto something heary.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
In the meantime, China actually opens a coal burning fire
power plant a coal fired power plant once about it
once every two weeks. I've read that before. Is that
accurate information?
Speaker 7 (21:30):
It's accurate in the sense of the size of the
coal plants that they're building and the frequency, so it's
not literally like every week they open one. But if
your average coal plant is five hundred megawatts six hundred megawats,
well they're putting around two thousand megawats online of coal
every month. So yeah, I mean in terms of numbers
that is, it is very similar. And the problem there
(21:52):
is the opportunity there is Why is China choosing coal.
It's because coal works, right. It doesn't matter if the
wind blowing or the sun is shining. It doesn't matter
if it matter if you get an awful ice storm
like Texas experience going on five years ago. Coal always operates,
and that's why China is doing it. They take their
electricity seriously. So again I welcome the administration saying, hey, look,
(22:17):
a third of our electricity comes from coal. We've punished
coal ridiculously. The Biden administration went after coal deliberately, and
we're paying thirty forty percent more for electricity. So let's
go back to supporting what works rather than promising this
green tomorrow. Right. How many years of Texas promise we're
going to have this great tomorrow and your electricity builds
(22:38):
are through the roof. So no more promises. Let's go
back to what works.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Okay, So our coal burning power plants are a little
different than China's in terms of pollution, right.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Oh, absolutely, because there are ways to mitigate emissions when
it comes to coal, and America does that very very responsibly.
China doesn't, nor do they worry about groundwater contamination, nor
do they worry about slave labors. So yeah, they can
also build these cold plants a lot faster than we can,
because when you don't care about human rights, you get
(23:08):
things done quickly, which is why we outsourced to China. Right,
It's why Nike moves to China. It's why it's why
Apple makes things in China. Nine year old girls do
not require an awful lot of healthcare. And you know,
you open this cliff talking about Hollywood, there's a reason
why people make movies in other countries. Hollywood's really damn expensive.
(23:29):
You know, every time we have one of these arguments,
we need paid paternity leave one month. Okay, I think
that's a lovely notion. But if we're going to give
people a month off of paternity leave, that's going to
cost the company a fortune. So they're going to look
elsewhere to be cheap. Why do they leave Hollywood. It's
not because they like filming in China. It's because Hollywood
(23:51):
made life really expensive. So on the one I appreciate
what Trump is doing with the tariffs on Hollywood. But
on the other we need to address why companies are leaving.
We need to address why Apple would prefer to use
slave labor then manufacture something in Ohio. And until we
have that hard reckoning with maternity leave and paternity leave
(24:12):
and free childcare and free abortions and everyone gets new
glasses and all of the stuff we require of our businesses,
companies are going to continue to leave America.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
All right, Let's back up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So Trump made a big announcement earlier, and it depending
on where you're look at, it was reported differently. USA
Today and Axios both report he is threatening to impose
one hundred percent tariffs on movies. CNN and Reuters say
he is going to impose one hundred percent tariffs on movies.
Whether he's doing it or not, you got to admit,
one hundred percent tariff is a lot. How would that
(24:44):
even work? It's a tariff on the movie ticket or
the DVD sales or what would that even?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
What would it be?
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Yeah, that's a that's a really great question. I don't
know how you tariff a movie. I don't know when
you if you sell the movie rights. For example, if
I make a movie in in a foreign country and
now I have to sell it to the distributor here
in America so that it's in your local movie theater,
maybe that's where the tariff is imposed. And so they're
not going to buy foreign made films because they can't
(25:12):
afford them or they pay the tariff, but they'll jack
up the prices on movie tickets. So that is a
little bit tricky. Again, I appreciate what President Trump, frank,
which is say, I am tired of people taking great
American industries like oil, which is a thoroughly American industry,
or Hollywood, which is a thoroughly American industry, or tech
(25:36):
right the the iPhone, thoroughly American technology industry. I'm tired
of them taking thoroughly American things and then going elsewhere
because it's cheaper. It's cheaper to make them, and so
I appreciate that effort. But I also understand like there's
a reason why companies flee America, and that's because bad
(25:57):
liberal policies have driven them out, and we need to
address that.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, Speaking of let's talk a little bit more
about the entertainment industry since we're on that topic right now.
They just announced to the super Bowl performers get the
halftime show. They wanted Taylor Swift instead, they're getting Bad Bunny.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I don't really care who the halftime show before. It's
not for me. I don't listen to pop music. I
never care. But Bad Bunny is this guy who just
said he's never performing in the United States again as
a response to Donald Trump winning the election and cracking
down any illegal immigration. Not long after saying he'd never
perform in the United States again for fear that ice
(26:33):
might raid the venue outside his show, the Puerto Rican
pop star Bad Bunny is going to perform at.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
The super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I'm pretty you know, at pop culture savvy. I couldn't
tell you one of his songs. I don't know his music.
I don't speak Spanish. Who is this for?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Exactly? Who is the NFL halftime show for? If you
look at the last like four or five years of
the halftime shows, they are targets being a very specific demographic,
and it's not the guys who watch football. I understand
as a desire to make the NFL have a have
a wider audience, right, It's why we have all these
stupid games in London and in Dublin, and you can't
(27:15):
even watch half the your your, your, your games because
they're played in foreign countries. Because they're trying to appeal
to a new audience. I get it, but but you
get a little tired of these these companies, these sports
companies that hate their core fan base, whether it's what
they charge for for tickets, whether it's what they charge
for beer, or whether it's the fact that they keep
(27:35):
driving you out of driving their games out out of
the stadium. So so the NFL have Time is just
part of this larger trend of kind of given the
middle finger to the fan base. And if you want
a halftime show that would appeal to the NFL fan base,
it's Morgan Wallin, right. I mean, that's that's who watches football,
(27:56):
that's who loves football. So why are you trying to
bring somebody who probably does clearly doesn't like America, doesn't
really like football, doesn't like football culture. Why the hell
would you choose him? And the answer is because your
football fans hate you, right, football, your football audience owners,
they don't like you, and they don't care about you
(28:19):
at all. And that's kind of got to come to
an end as far as I'm.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Concerned, Daniel, Are you old enough to remember why the
Super Bowl halftime shows had these stars studded, you know,
pop stars perferre didn't used to be that way. Way
back in the nineties, there was a Super Bowl halftime
show with a marching band and a fireworks display whatever
they normally do back in the day.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
And Fox Fox, you know the TV network, the Fox channel,
just Fox decided, you know what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
We're gonna get everyone to change the channel during the
halftime show, and they did. Everybody turned to the channel
and they watched in living color with some celebrity musical
guest and Jim Carrey and the Wayans brothers. The ratings
were off the charts, and then when it was over,
everybody went back and turned the football game on. The
following year, the NFL decided to come out and they said,
you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna book Michael Jackson,
(29:06):
We're gonna have the Blues Brothers, We're gonna have you know,
We're gonna have zz Top And that was when that started.
Wouldn't it be interesting with bad Bunny as the halftime show.
If this was the year one of the competing networks said, Hey,
we're gonna do a better halftime show. We're gonna do
a halftime show for football fans. We're going to book
an act you care about. We'll get Hank Williams Junior
or somebody like or Morgan Wallen. To your point, I mean,
(29:26):
you got to admit. It's like I only come up
with two kinds of ideas, crazy and genius, and I
feel like that one is genius.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
I think this is an absolutely genius idea. I don't
know what network has the super Bowl this year, but
I think you're absolutely spot on. If a rival network
said we are going to time this in such a
way kind of what they do with the Puppy Bowl,
right they realize there's enough people who get tired of
of pregame shows and they want to watch a couple
of puppies run around. I think you're onto something genius
(29:53):
to say a rival network, we will time this, because
if I'm at someone's house, or if I'm having a
Super Bowl party and I get to the halftime, I'm
not gonna watch some kind of sexual, pervert, degenerate who
doesn't speak my language and hates my country and my culture.
I'm not going to watch him dance around for twenty minutes, nobody.
You're gonna put it on mute. If you offer me
an alternative that says we're gonna have a cheerleaders and
(30:18):
fighter jets and red, white and blue and Morgan Wallen
and Hank Jr. Absolutely, I'm turning the channel. And you
know what, if it's good enough and the games stinks,
I may not turn back.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
All right, what about this?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You know, we were just talking about the NFL having
games in other cities and other countries rather Pittsburgh Steelers
quarterback Skyler Thompson was robbed in Iron He got mugged.
He got robbed in Ireland on Friday night while the
NFL is over there having a football game. Isn't that
the exact country that Rosi O'Donnell moved to because Donald
Trump's America was too dangerous.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
I don't think they have been willing to put out
any information on the mugger. I've been to Doubling a
bunch from Irish stock. Irish are very pugnacious people, but
they don't really rob from you. So if you want
to say, like, Han, does Ireland have a migration crisis?
It's a blanket accusation on my part, But I think
I would mortgage my farm, and as you know, I
(31:15):
literally have a farm to mortgage. I would bet the
farm and the fact that this is your third world
cultural and riching migrant on the streets of Dublin. Last
time I went to Dublin, it was almost unrecognizable, and
I have a hunch that that's exactly who did this.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
It sounds like you're suggesting the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skyler
Thompson was probably mugged by a guy named Mohammed and
not a guy named Dale, is what you're saying.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Lots of bar fights at Dublin. But again, they don't
rob you. They just punch you in the nose, because
that's what Irish like to do. Right. The oldest joke
is two irishmen are walking down the block and see
a fight and one says to the other, you think
this is a private fight or can anyone join in?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Right?
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Like, Irish people like to fight, but they don't steal.
They're not a stealing culture. They're just a punch culture.
Not Irish. I can say that.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
He could say it exactly. It's yeah, And I can
make fun of Catholics because I am one. His name
is Daniel Turner. Follow him on X.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Power of the Future is his group.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
If you're in the energy industry, you owe it to
yourselves to keep up with the work they're doing.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
All right, No, I find this whole conversation to be
extremely offensive.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Pursuit of Happiness radio continues.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Okay, so Amazon, you know, Amazon, the company, not the rainforest.
Amazon was fined for tricking people into signing up for Prime. Now,
before you judge them, how accurate is that photo on
your dating profile?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm just curious? Should that be legal? Should I say?
Speaker 7 (32:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I think we should round all those people up and
concentrate them together and put them on a train.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
In all seriousness, though, Donald Trump puts something very interesting
on his X account, well is technically his truth's social
account last night, and it's not about what you would think.
It's not a Joe Biden in his autopan or. It
feels like something big is about to happen with the
drug laws in this country. Let me play a minute
of this.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
We've all heard about the major systems in our bodies,
like the digestive, respiratory, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. But there's
one essential system discovered in the nineties that you probably
never heard of. It makes all of the other systems
work smoothly with each other, like a conductor, ensuring the
different sections of an orchestra all play a beautiful symphony together.
(33:34):
This system is called the endocannabinoid system. It has been
acknowledged and studied by scientists extensively with support from the
National Institutes of Health. As we age, the system weakens.
As a result, the different systems in our bodies stop
working together smoothly. That's one of the reasons older adults
struggle with pain, inflammation, cognitive decline, and other ailments of aging,
(33:58):
for which doctors often prescribe dangerous and addictive pharmaceuticals. They
also recommend lifestyle remedies such as exercise, good diet, and
stress management. And while all these improve the system, it
is only fractionally in over a long time. But here's
the game changer. The system can be restored faster using
(34:18):
HEMP derived CBD. When the system is restored, pain subsides,
sleep is improved, and stress is reduced. When the system
is restored, disease progression can slow down and years are
added to your life, as well as years spending good health.
And twenty percent of seniors are already using CBD today
(34:39):
for pain, arthritis, cancer symptoms, sleep disorders, Alzheimer's and many
other elements of agent.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Wait a second, isn't that the thing that Dan Patrick's
been trying to outlaw the CBD shops and the Delta
AG shops and the you know, all the little low
grade THHC stores all over the state. I thought Lieutenant
Governor Dan Patrick didn't want that. Donald Trump's out promoting
it on his social media account. And yet we've been
told by so many old school Rhino Republicans that they're
(35:07):
the new movement of mega Yet weirdly they don't embrace this.
I wonder if something BIG's about to happen. Apparently, State
Representative Briscoe Kane, currently running for Congress over on the
east side of Houston, has a prediction to make brisco
Can you hear me? I can hear you, brisco is
something big about to happen? If you had to bet
money on polymarket dot com. Not that you're an advocate
(35:29):
for gambling. What would you bet.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I would be betting the difficulty is hedge it, but
I would bet that either they were about to reschedule
or DESCHEDULEMP.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Okay, what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Yeah, yeah, Well, descheduling would essentially be removing it from
the Controlled Substance Act, that's essentially a federal legalization. Rescheduling
would be that currently medical marijuana's schedules a Class one,
meaning it has no medical value, and directly they may
reschedule it down to it two, which doesn't fully legalize it,
(36:06):
but at least recognizes there's legitimate uses for the substance,
which that opens it up for more things to be used. Granted,
if there's a man or an organization or a campaign
that has their polls on what the American people want,
I can guarantee you it's Donald Trump. And with that
ad that you just played, if you were to watch
(36:27):
it or pay more attention to it, the people they're
focusing on the demographic It ain't you and I right,
it's the folks from the seventies that enjoyed the product
then and still want to enjoy it now. These are
the over sixty five demographic that I believe Governor Greg
Abbott tapped into and saw when he vetoed that bill.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Yeah, okay, so I think you're onto something here.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
It seems like Dan Patrick, you know that that's the
group of people that he seems to be trying to
outlaw those products for. Yet they might actually be the
group of people that would benefit the most from them,
wouldn't They certainly would.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
It's a fascinating that it discusses the indo cannabinoid system
is something that was in our bodies at birth that
is designed with receptors for cannabinoids.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah, fascinate. I mean, it really is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Okay, So I guess you know, I don't expect you
don't know the answer to this question. But Joe Biden
claims to be an ally to low income inner city
people and an ally to minorities and stuff like that,
and even as signaled support for the marijuana industry. Yet weirdly,
he never went out and rescheduled or rescheduled Why do
you think that is?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Because he really, at the end of the day, wants
to keep those people on the welfare state. We know
why we keep them down, You keep them becoming your voters.
You don't really care about freedom.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, I mean exactly right.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Didn't he actually kick some of his staff members out
of the White House because they legally consumed marijuana.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
I don't know if you're aware of that or not,
but he did.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
What an odd one the Democrats claim to be all
pro marijuana, like they to claim to be all pro
gay or pro women. But it was Trump who was
the first president to support gay marriage in his first term,
the first guy to go out. Republicans were the first
ones to have a female Press secretary. Republicans were the
first to have an openly gay cabinet member. It feels like,
(38:25):
at the end of the day, the thing that Democrats
are claiming to be the party of for everyone, the
party of unification, the party of the average person. You know,
that's what the Republicans are. I mean, am I wrong?
It certainly seems that way.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Now, Look, we're the party of personal responsibility. With that
person responsibility, you recognize people are adults and need to
be free to make certain decisions, and this is an
area where certainly one I believe that people should be
free to make these decisions with certain restrictions.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
We still need to raise the age, make sure these
packaging and things aren't targeting kids, get rid of the
dangerous athetics. There's some regulation we do need, but we
recognize that the adults are adults and we should facilitate
them to act upon their liberty.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
All right.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
College Republicans have been all over the news lately, you know,
young conservatives have been all over the news, whether it's
high school or college groups. And obviously Charlie Kirk is
a big part of the reason why. But since then,
so much has happened with turning point us say, right
here in our own community, young conservatives being targeted at
Stratford High School.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
You were a college Republican, were you not? I was?
I was, Yes, I was.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
I was the vice president of the College Republicans at
the University use in downtown, So of course I was
president of the Federal Socity in Law School, president of
the of Law Students for Life. There we were the
first p Life Lawston organization that's to the Mississippi and
president of the Law Student Republicans. We hosted debates. I've
experienced what it's like to have faculty discriminated against you.
(39:58):
I had, I had a Ted Cruz sticker on my
my laptop in law school and a pro life sticker,
and I went and thinking, oh, yeah, this is going
to affect my grades and how these people do that.
And we've now continued to see that as a reality.
In fact, right I've had my I've had a speech
shut down at TSU. So I've been, you know, shut
down by BLM protesters. And in fact, I carried the
(40:19):
author of the campus free speech legislation in twenty nineteen
that we passed to try and rein in this nonsense,
so allow students to have, you know, places to speak
without being shut down by the administration.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
So you were vice president of your college Republican club
and now you're a conservative with a national platform, You're
a lawmaker in the biggest conservative state.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
In the country.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I'm just curious, who is the president of your college
Republican club.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
That's too funny.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
I do remember her, and she was.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Older, but Prisco would shock you to learn. I was
never the manager of my college radio station. I was
the music director and the college and the manager at
the station was constantly trying to explain to me what
I didn't understand.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
About radio. Oh that's too funny.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah, but some people in Houstonario may know her though
Leslie's shadow was the president. I make it a text
letter if people find out if they know who that.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Is Leslie's president of the club. Is she on X
or anything like that?
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Yeah, I believe so. You probably find her an actor
or Facebook.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, I guess in the end, you kind of won
and she lost. Is there anything you want to tell her?
Speaker 3 (41:28):
She's doing great.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
She's still engaged with the party and advancing the party platform.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
It's a wonderful thing, Risco.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
In the meantime, you're running for Congress and people want
to learn more about your candidacy.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
What can they do?
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Yeah, well, hey, if you guys want to understand why
we're running, it's pretty simple, you know. And it was
proud to be on the on the ballot at the
same time as president in twenty sixteen. We when we
took on the establishment and won. To want to continue
my fight against establishment. You can find us at briscocane
dot com or at briscocine on X and things like that.
(42:00):
You have the follow and help us ensure that Al
Green never again shakes his cane at the President. You
know while you're there, good and send us nine.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Bucks if you like my brother.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Hey, to the rest of you, don't forget this Sunday,
we are going to be having a comedy show at
the Bad Astronaut Brewing Company right outside of downtown Houston.

all going to be there.
