Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smiles of a suit
of happiness. Us on your radio toil, just as cheeseburgers
a living, it fries at food.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
President Donald J. Trump threatened Apple with the twenty five
percent tariff if they don't make iPhones here in America,
because our toddlers deserve the right to earn a living too. Hi, everybody,
I'm Kenny Webster and it is well, it's Tuesday, and
it's great to be with you this afternoon. I hope
you all had a safe and somber Memorial Day weekend.
You know, it's okay to have a happy Memorial Day weekend.
(00:47):
I know people get touchy about that, but as long
as you don't use the same kind of language Kamala
Harris did okay? No, not this year four years ago?
What'd you do this Memorial Day weekend? Did you remember
to stop and at least acknowledge the fact that people
gave their lives? Yesterday was Memorial Day and we were honored.
We honored those who died to preserve the greatest experiment
(01:09):
in human liberty, that of the United States. Of America.
So you've got your barbecues and your trips to the
beach and your family time. That all marks the holiday.
But I think a lot of people remember, besides being
the beginning of summer, it's also a moment to remember
those who lost their lives so we could be here
over the weekend. Kamala Harris, your former vice president, took
(01:32):
to social media and she tweeted out the following. She said, quote,
on Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who
have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation.
We owe these heroes and their loved ones everything, and
we will always remember what they have done to protect
our freedom. And then there's a picture of Arlington Cemetery.
(01:52):
Now I remember her tweet from four years ago. Four
years ago, then Vice President com Harris decided to tweet
the following enjoy the long weekend, with a picture of
her smiling. Boy, what a difference four years makes, Huh?
(02:13):
All we needed was a new president. Kamala Harris four
years ago on Memorial Day weekend, posted a photo of
herself smiling and it said enjoy the long weekend. Four
years later, she posted a picture of Arlington cemetery. It's
like she finally figured it out. My God, Kama is
not alone, by the way. Democrats on the Grill has
been a favorite social media event where liberals claim to
(02:36):
be grilling when the weber isn't even turned on. It's
just a photo they post on social media. You remember
Chuck Schumer did this, posted a photo of himself cooking
a raw hamburger with a slice of cheese on it.
Now granted Memorial Day weekend, fourth of July to people
on the left. These holidays don't really mean anything, but
(02:57):
Democrats are trying to connect with people now. They know
they are are in trouble. They're in big trouble. The
latest is that the Democrats are spending twenty million dollars
to try to figure out how to win back mail voters.
I know it's even worse than it sounds. Democrats are
getting roasted for this thing. Critics have slammed the Democrats
(03:20):
for an inauthentic twenty million dollar plan to study the syntax,
as they put it, used to win back mail voters.
Young mail voters, why won't you vote for us? You Nazis?
We hate you, don't leave us. Democrats have been baffled
as to why young male voters are abandoning the party
after the democraphics swung to the right for Donald Trump
(03:41):
in the November election last year. If you look ahead
to the twenty twenty six midterms and the next presidential election,
Democrats don't know what they're going to do. Men don't
like Democrats anymore, at least not the kind of average
blue collar workers that used to once frequent their party.
Whether they're talking about fans of Joe Rogan or comedians
(04:03):
like theovonn one thing is for sure. Average normal, middle class,
blue collar American men hate the Democrat Party. So the
New York Times is now reporting the Democrats have a
twenty million dollar plan speaking with American men, a strategic plan.
It's a promise to invest us study the syntax, language
(04:24):
and content that gains their attention. Probably don't use terms
like mansplaining to shame them. I mean, that'd be just
to start there. Maybe don't use terms like toxic masculinity
to describe what you think of men who watch football
and drink beer. If you ask a guy a question
and he tries to explain something to you, you'll actually
(04:46):
mock him for it. Just for being a man and
telling you something. If you get something wrong and a
man corrects you, that's called mansplaining. It's cringefest, guys, That's
what this is. Consultants doing Sultan things. They need to
talk to voters rather than analyze their language. How about
it if instead of trying to figure out what average
(05:07):
men want at an expensive, stuffy, twenty million dollar convention,
you go ask them stop pretending to cook a cheeseburger
on a grill and have an actual conversation with men crazy?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I know, right?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Wouldn't that be wild? Twenty million dollars? Are you guys
kidding me? A handful of liberal elitists gather together at
a what is this? At a Ritz Carlton in a
place called half Moon Bay, California. Gavin Newsom and Andy Basheer,
(05:39):
the Democrat governors of California and Kentucky, were both reportedly
in attendance. Very elite gathering. It featured appetizers like short rib,
Tustoni's Is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
What that is?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Tustony's Mini lobster rolls, beef tenderloin, and or dervs. According
to The New York Times, twenty million dollar event called
Speaking with American a strategic plan. I have an idea.
You know how you appeal to middle class men. It's
not by eating many lobster rolls. It's not with beef tenderloin. Guys.
Men eat hamburgers, men eat bacon, Men drink beer. What
(06:14):
are you drinking? Camus, give me a break. It's embarrassing.
I mean for them, not for me. I don't give
a damn. Democrat donors are now treating men like an
endangered species on a remote island. You don't need to
study them. Just talk to them, Hey, guys, what do
you think about things? And then when they answer the question,
(06:35):
don't tell them that they're mansplaining to you. It's an
interesting book about borderline personality disorder. It's called I Hate You,
Don't Leave Me? Does the Democrat Party as a whole
have borderline personality disorders? Have what their problem is? Do
they exist as one giant contradiction. It's like you're chasing
(06:58):
men away and then you're wonder why they're leaving. You're
stabbing them figuratively, speaking with a sword, and you're wondering
why they're bleeding. You have spent years trying to make
not just white men, but all men everywhere into the enemy.
And then you wonder why, for the first time ever,
more than thirty percent of black men in a state
like Texas, they're voting for Trump, probably because you made
(07:24):
them feel like they were your enemy, and so they
responded Accordingly, men are voting for Trump because Trump speaks
to them. Here's the shocking thing about this, women and
the LGBTQ community. They're also voting for Trump. You guys
spent way too much time pandering to non citizens. Over
the weekend, another Maryland lawmaker went down to El Salvador
(07:47):
to try to bring back an illegal immigrant who he
called one of his constituents. If your constituents are illegal
immigrants in foreign countries, I think I'm starting to understand
why average American men aren't voting for you. Hey, it's
me the Donald.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You're listening to the Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Radio voice of the Radio game. Okay, So a new
study suggests that depression can be spread through oral bacteria.
Then I must be depressed because every woman who kisses
me and looks like she wants to jump off a bridge. Hi,
thanks for turning us on. Coming up in a little bit.
Ethan Buchanan is going to be here. He's one of
(08:24):
our producers and weekend talk show hosts. He's also a
news reporter at KTRH. We're going to explore the situation
a little deeper, why men hate Democrats and Democrat politicians
and what can the Democrats do about it? And also
Beto O'Rourke is back. I will tell you what that means.
Apparently he's getting back into Texas politics, so we'll discuss it.
(08:45):
You know who else is back? Jesse Smallett. Jesse Smallett
is back. He will pay fifty thousand dollars to charity
to settle a hate crime lawsuit with Chicago, but he
still maintains that he's innocent. Entertainment Tonight reports that Jesse Smallett,
the now disgraced actor, and the city of Chicago announced
a settlement to resolve their years long battle over the
(09:07):
twenty nineteen claim that he was the victim of a
hay crime. Jesse Smallett is disclosing the terms of the
agreement and once again says he didn't he didn't do nothing.
He didn't do nothing. He had a very lengthy statement
in Instagram over the weekend. I know you all probably
followed Jesse Smallett on Instagram. I'm sure you love his posts,
so I don't need to tell you what he said.
(09:27):
But we'll pretend you didn't see it, and I'll tell
you right now. He revealed he has agreed to take
a fifty thousand dollars charitable donation he's going to make
to the Building Brighter Future Center for the Arts as
part of the deal. And I don't know much about
that charity, but he reiterated. The settlement is not an
omission of guilt. He said, quote over six years ago,
(09:48):
after it was reported that I had been jumped. City
officials in Chicago set out to convince the public I
willfully set an assault to get most of myself. This
false narrative has left to stain on my character that
will not soon disappear. Yeah, Jesse Small, it's become a
walking punchline and he's now the only one who's back.
J'all remember Ferguson Missouri, Well, okay, Ferguson, Missouri was the
(10:15):
center of quite a bit of controversy back at twenty fourteen.
It was eleven years ago. There were race riots happening
Breitbart dot Com today reporting on a guy named Wesley Lowery,
affectionately nicknamed the fire Starter. This guy pretends to be
a journalist. He worked at the Washington Post back when
the Ferguson riots were happening. He did more to gin
(10:37):
up the riots that gutted Ferguson, Missouri than anyone associated
with CNN. He was in Ferguson for only mercenary purposes.
He wanted to become a media star, regardless of the
cost of the city and the people of working class Ferguson.
And he did become a star. He won a Pulitzer Prize.
He went on to work at CNN and sixty minutes
(10:57):
he even wrote two books. All this success was based
on the proven lie that Michael Brown was a general
giant and not a three hundred pound thug who chose
to attack a police officer. This month has been a
welcome reminder that these heartless and shameless, narcissistic journalists always
eventually take a fall. Y'all. Remember Jake Tapper. He enjoyed
(11:21):
his long overdue collapse last week. Well, this week, Wesley
Lowry has been credibly accused of assaulting at least a
half a dozen women between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty four,
according to a report from the Columbia Journalism Review and
Wall Street Journal. A Wall Street Journal reporter named Amani
(11:41):
Moyes and Barbedwire editor in chief Olivia Mezzer, and two
other female journalists who chose to remain anonymous, all say
this guy had alcoholic drinks waiting for them, either when
they arrived or when they returned from the restroom, and
wound up leaving when Wesley Lowry, who they say sexually
assaulted them. Mezer explained that she woke up unsure of
(12:06):
what had happened, and he told her that he remembered
they'd had sex. A woman who says she met Lowry
on a dating app claims she blacked out. According to
the report, Moyes felt powerless to stop him. A fourth
woman says she remained conscious, she felt pressure from Lowry
to let him up to her apartment, where he tried
(12:27):
to pull her clothes off. She says he left after
she pretended to fall asleep. The obvious implication is that
Lowry ordered their drinks while they were gone and spiked
them with something that made them pass out. These four women,
according to the report, along with several others, including colleagues
and students, attest to a pattern of predatory behavior towards
(12:49):
young women in journalism going back years. The people that
published the reports say they reviewed emails, text messages, and
chat threads, and examined documents related to Wesley Lowry's times
at American University in Washington, DC. Moyes claims, quote when
I got there, he had already ordered me a drink.
I remember two drinks turned into four drinks. I remember
(13:11):
being so drunk that my head physically hurt, and I
was embarrassed by it. She says. Their conversation included the
hashtag me too movement. She wanted to leave. Quote he said,
don't worry, I'll pay for your cab. He ordered an
Uber black. She says. He put me in the car.
At this point, I was sloppy drunk. Then he gets in.
I was pretty drunk, but I was perceptive enough to
(13:34):
know something was happening. I said, where are we going?
He said my apartment. I felt powerless, she said, and
claims that what followed was quote a full blown assault. Quote.
I was too drunk to give consent. He got her
another Uber She says, I remember feeling terrible. It was
the longest ride to Bethesda. Guess that must be where
(13:56):
she lives. According to the report's portrayal of these periods,
Wesley says, the portrayal of these periods in my personal
life are incomplete and includes false insinuations about complicated dynamics. Still,
I respect the women who have shared their experience and
take their perspective seriously. As a young professional, I did
not always recognize the power imbalances that surfaced asred personal
(14:17):
relationships evolved into professional ones and vice versa. He added,
quote I should have better upheld boundaries that would have
protected myself and others, particularly during interactions compaired by mutual
intoxication end quote. Until March, this guy was an associate
professor and an executive editor of the Investigating Reporting Workshop
(14:40):
at American University. That's a bougie college in Washington, DC. Kids.
He left the university due to quote a series of
encounters detailed to Americans Title nine Office concerning Sexual Harassment
and Misconduct. Wow. Two student journalists claim he had used
sexually inappropriate language while discussing reporting practices with them. Hmm,
(15:04):
listen to this, says I don't have full insight into this,
but my understanding is there were three different complaints filed
at various points, and when a complaint is filed, the
Title nine office reviews it and the signs if they
are worthy of an investigation. He says, quote zero out
of these three complaints met that threshold. But I certainly
regret if I had any comment I ever made during
(15:25):
editing or anything else made anyone feel uncomfortable. End quote.
I have a lot of thoughts about this. Let's start
off with this. It is completely possible that this guy
is innocent. It's completely possible. What I think is very
statistically unlikely is that so many women and institutions and
(15:45):
organizations are all making accusations against this guy. Many of
them don't appear to have ever known each other besides
his former place of employment, students, women that he worked with.
Isn't it kind of interesting how many of them all
had the same complaint about the guy. Also, here's another
question I'll ask, let's go back to the thing that
(16:06):
made him famous. How many black owned businesses in Fergus
and Missouri were destroyed because this grifter lied and encouraged
people to go out and riot zero mention of police
or district attorneys or anybody out there whose lives may
have been affected by this guy or who helped lie
(16:27):
for him. Everyone in Saint Louis knows and knew the
truth about Michael Brown and his disgusting family. Those who
tried early on to tell the truth were threatened with violence,
and if they did speak out, they had to leave town.
And this guy is one of the reasons why that happened.
There's another media darling who they propped up for political purposes,
(16:50):
now crashing and burning once the truth comes out. Imagine
my shocked face.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You've got Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness on KATRC nine
point fifty.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
All right, good news, thousands of baby chicks abandoned in
a Delaware mail van were adopted. That's the good news.
The bad news is that it was by KFC. I
guess that's not actually that bad news. I like chicken.
The US ranked first in the world in swearing, according
to a new recent report. It's just more proof Americans
(17:24):
are furious they have to live in a country that
only allows them three dollars and five pencils. I don't
understand that. Hi, everybody I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for turning
on your radio. It's good to be here with you.
I'm mom who wrote these things. These are terrible jokes.
It's good to be with you.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Thanks to everybody that joined us this weekend. In Where
were we Louisiana? We were in New Orleans. We were
in Jackson, Mississippi. We had four sold out comedy shows
this weekend. And then Jackson, Jackson was the thing as well.
People kept coming up to me in Jackson, Mississippi and saying,
welcome to Jafrica. And I don't know what that means,
but I just people kept saying it to I thought
(18:01):
that was a strange thing to say, and I would
not have thought to call it that, but apparently that's
what people say. You know what else I wouldn't think
of is to elect Beto O'Rourke to do anything. But
he's back now. For those that don't remember who Beto
o'arke is, Beto O'Rourke was the liberal Democrat who kept
failing his way to the top. I've never really understood
(18:21):
the appeal of Beto o'rourk. But now, in the wake
of Tim Walls and the Kamala Harris debacle. The Democrat
Party is starting to look at Beto O'Rourke and they're thinking,
maybe maybe this could be the guy. The Democrats have
a problem. Women, you know, are indifferent about the Democrat Party.
Men hate the Democrat Party. Who's the Democrat Party for now?
(18:42):
I don't know black, queer, transgenders, who are disabled. It's
not for average people. The Democrat Party is having a
big convention. They're spending twenty million dollars. So Kentucky Governory
Andy Basher and Gavin Newsom can help determine why don't
men like it anymore? Well, why men? Answer this question?
(19:03):
Why won't you vote for us? You toxic Nazis? Wait
a minute, I think your question actually answers the question
you're asking. The very nature of the question answers it.
Democrats went out and they told men for years, you're horrible,
you're awful, admit that you're privileged, you ruined the whole world. Oh,
by the way, we still want your vote. No, it
doesn't work that way. Doesn't turns out, average men who
(19:26):
pretty much built the modern world, who are responsible for
all of the great accomplishments that you enjoy, they can't
be shamed into voting for you, As it turns out,
So the Democrat Party back in the twenty twenty four
election thought, maybe Tim Walls, this guy who lied about
his military service and put tampons in little boys bathrooms,
maybe he's the guy that will appeal to average men.
(19:47):
Turns out no, and suddenly the Democrats are starting to
realize maybe it's Beto O'Rourke. Now there's a reason why
they're doing this. Where'd that story go? I had something
on my screen here. The latest pulling data reveals Cornyn
Senator John Cornyn, who's up against Texas Attorney General Ken
Paxton in the next US Senate race. And according to
(20:07):
this new polling data, Cornyn is trailing Paxton by sixteen points.
That's pretty bad, which means it's pretty likely Ken Paxton's
going to be the candidate next year. Now, if that's
the case, who's he going to be up against? The
latest on this is that it's Beto O'Rourke. Beto O'Rourke
and the Democrat Party have had a I guess, for
(20:28):
lack of a better term, a slippery slope of a
relationship over the years. There's an article in Vanity Fair.
I don't read Vanity Fair, but five days ago Vanity
Fair ran the following headline. Here, let me put this
on the screen. For those of you, by the way,
we're live streaming on social media. For those of you
that are listening to us on the radio right now,
you can also watch us live streaming. Here is a
(20:49):
headline from Vanity Fair. Oh there's a pop up ad
thank you, why Beto O'Rourke may never stop running? And
then the subheadline, this is from some guy named Joe Hagen,
and Joe right, the Texas politician has been hitting campuses
and streets to register voters, and he's keeping the faith
for Democrats. And it's as flattering as they could do.
(21:09):
It's not that flattering, but it's somewhat flattering. Now their
position on Beto o'roark has changed a little bit. I
want you to compare this to their headline in the
same newspaper from about five or six years ago. Here's
another one, Beto O'Rourke, I'm just born to be in
it again. An article by Joe Hagen, but photography by
Annie Leibovitz, the same person that famously photographed Vladimir Zelenski
(21:34):
who didn't love that. And it's pictures of Beto O'Rourke
very well photographed out in the middle of the West
Texas desert with his dog, and even the dog looks
like he wouldn't trust Beto O'Rourke. When you look at
the photographs, he's got a black lab and the black
lab's looking up at Beto like, no, this guy's not
going to lead us anywhere. He's a beta sissy boy.
Do you guys all remember all the things that made
(21:56):
Beto famous. He's the son in law of a guy
the half a billion dollars, so right away, that's why
he keeps running. But even progressives in his own community
don't like him. In El Paso, where Beto O'Rourke comes from,
he was involved years ago in what was like a
real estate scheme downtown with his father in law, and
(22:19):
it involved the eminent domain laws taking property away from
people to builds, and it was very unpopular with the
local progressives. He was famously part of a hacking cult
called Cult of the Dead Cow when he was a teenager,
not because he was some computer savant genius or whatever,
nothing to the quite to the contrary, actually He would
(22:41):
write articles for this online bulletin board called Cult of
the Dead Cow, where he would talk about how much
fun it might be to kill somebody. Yeah that's the
kind of Yeah, that's the fan fiction stuff he was
famous for writing. He once got into a terrible car
accident when he was drunk driving, and then he fled
the scene of the accident. And those are just some
of his more flattering character traits. I'm not really sure
(23:02):
what's to like about Beto O'Rourke, but I guess what
it really boils down to is this. They think Beto
O'Roarke can appeal to young male voters, to a group
of people that they're not appealing to at all, and
they think maybe Beto O'Rourke will be more appealing than
Ken Paxton. So I reached out to a young male voter,
not like physically or anything, just figuratively. He's one of
our weekend talk show us. He's a zoomer. He's in
(23:25):
his early twenties and Ethan Ethan Buchanan is here right now.
Not only does he work in the newsroom down the hall,
and he hosts a talk show here on the weekends
on KPRC. AM nine to fifty, the oldest radio station
in Texas. Ethan. The Democrats think that Beto O'Rourke is
how they're going to be able to win. You over,
what do you think?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
I don't know if it's so much they think, oh,
this guy's it, we finally found it. As much as
it is, well, we've got nobody else's That's what I
think the mentality is. I mean, they don't have candidates,
especially not here in Texas. They thought they had something
fresh and new with Colin Allred and we see how
(24:06):
that worked out. A Cruise beat Alred more than Trump
beat Harris here in Texas. So I think it's just
they have nothing else, so they go back to all
reliable and when you need somebody to run a race,
you just throw Beto O'Rourke out there and see what happens.
And as far as why Beto's in it, I think
it comes down to something you and I have talked about,
(24:27):
where people just run campaigns just to run campaigns. I
don't think Beto thinks he's going to win. I don't
think the Democrats think they're going to win, but they
have to run somebody, so they pick Beto and Beto says, well,
I might not win, but I'll get a bunch of
media attention and I'll get some campaign donations. So even
if I lose, I still win.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Okay, So right, I mean, that's pretty much what he's
done up until this point. Beto o'rourk performed what we
call the Texas Liberal hat trick. He lost the Senate
race to Ted Cruz, he lost the Governor's raised to Abbott,
and now they think maybe, of course, the presidential primary
that doesn't even count. Yeah, he got crushed in his
(25:09):
own party. His own party didn't want him right back
in twenty twenty. I think he was one of the
first Democrats to drop out of that thing. Him and
Kamala Harris didn't pick him to be their running mate.
They weren't interested in him at all, even not even
a little bit. But they think he's appealing to young
male voters. Wasn't he in a band with one of
the guys from Mars Volta or at the drive in
(25:30):
or something? I guess, I don't know. That's probably not your.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I'm gonna try not to date you as much as
I can. But who's Mars Volta?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Oh my god, Marsa. That's okay, never mind Ethan, what
kind of what music do you listen to? All right?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I listened to two kinds of music, either old folk
music from the Civil War or Mongolian folk rock music.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
And you're trying to make me feel old because I
listened to mars Volta, then I don't.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I'm not trying to make you old. I'm just it's weird.
But Beto O'Rourke's problem is this. He's running in the
Democrat Party, which I don't know how familiar you are
with them, but they don't tend to care for straight
white men, and Beto O'Rourke at least claims all of
those monikers. Although he tried to be Hispanic for a while,
we caught him he's actually Irish. But the Democrat base
(26:20):
doesn't like him, and the kind of moderate to right
leaning average white guy sees through his act. He's kind
of a self hating white guy. And we can see
that you're using the fact that, oh, I'm a white man,
look at me, I'm one of you bros. It's got
that same kind of feel as like a sixty year
(26:43):
old trying to use modern internet slang.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It just we know what you're doing and it's weird. Yeah,
but Tim Walls did this too. After losing, Tim Walls
went out and did a rally where he told voters,
you know, as an old white man, that's what's wrong
with America. And Tim Walls is an old white guy.
Tim Walls looks older than he is, he sounds older
than he is the only thing that makes him young
and hip is if you don't understand what young and
(27:05):
hip people want over the weekend, what is it? Scott
Pelley from sixty Minutes gave the commencement speech at the
graduation for wake Forest College or wake Forest University. It's
a room full of people that probably voted for Trump.
They're young people in their twenties. Young people are now
skewing right wing. They're now skewing conservative for the first
(27:25):
time in decades, for the first time as far back
as we've been tracking this, suddenly, young male voters in
young young voters in general are right wing. They're conservative.
I don't think old white liberals get that. They think
that young people are still liberal. They're not. I mean,
I guess we should be grateful they're not figuring this out.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
It's the echo chamber. You know, they still haven't gotten
out of that left wing echo chamber. I mean their
entire lives growing up in the sixties, because that's when
these old people were in their twenties, was in the sixties,
and everybody was a leftist and they were hanging out
with leftists. They were partying with leftists all through the sixties,
and as they got older and got into politics, they
(28:07):
got into left wing politics, they got into left wing journalism,
left wing newspapers, left wing media, and that just sort
of continued, and then social media was left wing for
a long time. Now that's kind of skewing the other
way thanks to Elin Musk.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
And x right.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
But the people that grew up in that system have
lived their whole lives in that system and have you know,
fostered the system. They're still in it. They're still in
the echo chamber. So young people are becoming more right
wing because they're rejecting the system that all these sixty
year old white liberals built, and the six year old
white liberals have not picked up to the fact that hey,
(28:42):
I'm alone in this echo chamber. I'm hearing the echoes
and I'm thinking it's other people. But no, it's just me.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Okay, well, I think you're onto something there. As we
are having this discussion, we are live streaming on social media,
and we're getting comments about it. King Quad on YouTube says,
shut up, Beto and go to hell too. On X
Coffee Machinery operator says, Beto running again is like Angel
Reese repeatedly throwing shots and never hitting sit on the bench.
Bro Carnifex Maximus on X says, come on, Ethan, those
(29:11):
aren't real genres. He's right. What did you say? You
like Mongolian?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Mongolian folk rock and I think you're just making stuff.
I swear to God, I swear to God it's real.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
What's a Mongolian folk rock band? Ethan?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
The who Hu? Not who not the Who the who Hu?
There's a Okay, I believe you good music, it really is, sure, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Lord Zoth on YouTube says, Hey, Kenny, just saw a
story about Texas trying to completely band THHC. What's up
with that. I'd expect that from my home state of Louisiana,
but not Texas. Okay, Oh boy, I actually I actually
think that plays into this topic a little bit. Yeah,
I think it does. I mean young conservative, right wing
Republican voters tend to like Trump. Obviously, how could they
(29:58):
not like Trump, It's why they came to the party,
and overwhelmingly they support legalizing marijuana. Pull after Paul reveals
that now Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is from the old
George W. Bush neo con wing of the Republican Party.
It was Trump who passed the Farm Bill. It was
Trump who legalized THHC and CBD products in all fifty states.
(30:18):
Low grade THHC but THHC nonetheless. And I gotta think
if they're Democrat. If I was a Democrat right now
and I was in the state of Texas and I
was trying to beat John Cornyn or Ken Paxton, probably
Ken Paxton in the general election next year, I think
this would be an issue I would run on. Young
Republican voters don't agree with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. Lieutenant
(30:40):
Governor Dan Patrick is like a dream come true right
now to the Democrat Party because he's actually doing something
that moderates all moderates, all Democrats, and even most Republicans.
According to the polling I've seen, about seventy percent of
Republicans don't agree with and that's outlawing THHC products. Ethan,
you're a young voter. What's your take. I know you
don't smoke weed, and that's okay.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
But I don't smoke weed, but I do, as a libertarian,
support any given any given persons.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
A Libertarian party member. No, No, because they're a joke. Okay,
So just a libertarian ideology. You're a Republican. Yeah, so
you are the exact group of people that the Democrats
are having a convention right now to try to get
votes from. Right, let's pretend hypothetically, Ethan in you know,
just hypothetical, right, what would the Democrats have to hypothetically
do to win your vote?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
What would they do if the Democrats really wanted to
win my vote? And god, it's hard to pin it
down to one thing. If the Democrats wanted to win
my vote, what they would have to do is say, we,
as the Democrat Party, if you give us control of
(31:50):
the federal government, all three branches and both chambers of Congress,
we will do literally nothing and the states can handle
every single issue in their own legislatures. If that was
their pitch, if that was what they were doing, I
would vote for Democrat at every federal position, and I
would vote as far right as I could at every
(32:11):
state level position.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, but that's exactly why they're not going to do.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Guess exactly what they're not going to do, which is
why they'll never win my vote. Yes, this is kidding
Webster's pursuit of happiness. Dig it.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
The state of New Jersey leads the nation in missing
cat reports. Did any went Texas? Cy If they also
lead the nation in Haitian immigrants, that would be something,
wouldn't it? It would be very awesome? All right, let's
talk about illegal immigration for just a second. A report
today at what is this breipart dot com from our
good friend John Nolty details something we talked about on
(32:43):
this show many many times before. Apparently, the issue with
illegal immigrants it's not just about violent, dangerous people out
on the streets collecting benefits and violently attacking people. Sometimes
it's about car accidents. I mean, no, it's true if
someone's an illegal immigrant, they're in the country and they're
not following the driving laws. That has actually been the
(33:04):
source of a lot of recent deaths in our country.
And we've documented some of this stuff on the air
many times now. We have a new one. There's a
lawyer that is defending Raoul Benitez Santana. That was the
car accident that resulted in the death of a Washington
State Patrol trooper in March twenty twenty four. The lawyer
(33:24):
said it was not a crime, it was just a
car accident. And you can actually watch the lawyer make
her argument here. Let me turn this on so people
watching us live streaming can check this out. Go ahead,
play the tape. Oh sorry, hang on a second, we
need a little volume here. Kevin and Mulligan in the
dark early.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Morning hours, May second, twenty twenty fourth part. A series
of unfortunate circumstances collided in one of the darkest stretches
of I five, and that coming together of these unfortunate
circumstances led to a tragic accident.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
We had.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
A blacked out suv.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Parked on the side of the road, giving no warning
to any other driver on the road that night of
its presence. We had a black SUV traveling above the
posted speed limit. And we had a white van being
driven by a sleep deprived and inexperienced driver who forgot
(34:38):
to turn on his headlights. And when these three circumstances collided.
Not only did it result in a catastrophic accident, it
resulted in the tragic death of a trooper. Gad, but
(34:59):
it is a crime.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
It's not a crime. Okay, this person says it's not
a crime. Let's walk through why it's a crime. It
turns out, according to authorities. Why authorities thought it was
a crime, this person was in the country illegally. Why
don't we start with that. This person was driving one
hundred miles over the speed limit. Oh my god, yeah,
when he hit the troopers vehicle. This person admitted to
smoking drugs. Now the drug was marijuana. Still you're not
(35:23):
supposed to you know, you could think that's the safest drug. Still,
not supposed to smoke it and operate a motor vehicle.
Here's where this gets tricky. The person admitted to drinking
alcohol in addition to smoking weed, was also drinking alcohol
and blew a point four to seven on the breathalyzer. Ethan,
you're a pretty smart guy. What is the what is
the legal limit for drinking?
Speaker 4 (35:43):
I think if you're if you're driving, it has to
be under point three right point eight?
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I think, so, I don't know. I've never gotten a
DUI before. But still you're high on drugs. You're pretty drunk,
and I mean it's at least driving under the influence
certainly is Yeah. The combination of alcohol and marijuana combined
with the fact that you killed a guy, I think,
and you're in the country illegally and you're driving one
hundred miles over the one hundred miles power sounds illegal.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Take a note of her language too. She keeps saying
a series of unfortunate circumstance collided. These circumstances colliding. The
circumstances didn't collide, the cars did, right, These are vehicles.
You killed a guy, even if you did it on accident.
There's a penalty to be paid there. Even if you
were driving as perfectly as you could and just something
(36:34):
happened and you kill a guy, there's still some consequences
to be paid there, right.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Take a look at the lawyer too. Like I could
tell you everything about this lawyer without knowing anything about
this lawyer. This lawyer voted for Kamala Uh. This lawyer
drinks soy. This lawyer thinks that toxic masculinity is destroying America,
but doesn't understand why men don't support the Democrat Party anymore.
No makeup, no attempt to look feminine at all. Shoulder pads.
(37:01):
Women don't bring this trend back shoulder pads. What women?
Why are you wearing shoulder pads? Tilliam, It's missing? Here
is the blue hair? Where's the blue hair?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Wow, that's what I was gonna say. Her hair is
shockingly natural color.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, you can't be an attorney and have blue hair.
But anyways, according to the report, last March twenty seven,
year old Trooper Christopher Gadd was parked in his cruiser
on the shoulder of the Interstate three in the morning
when an illegal alien, shielded from deportation by the Democrat
fron Washington state insane sanctuary city laws, swerved and struck
the troopers cruiser one hundred and seven miles per hour.
(37:33):
Santana's car bounced back into the traffic lane, where he
was then struck by a van carrying six people. The
van's driver suffered a broken wrist. Trooper gad By the
way left behind a young wife and a daughter. And
in any of that, if any of that is true,
it does sound a lot like that's a crime. One
hundred over one hundred miles per hour, multiple substances, high
(37:53):
out of your mind, in the country illegally. What do
you want guys? Of course this person belongs in prison.
This is absolutely bonkers to me, Ethan, I'll let you
get the final word.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
She casually tried to blame it on the trooper day
or did you notice it was a blacked out troopers
suv made no indication that he was parked on the
side of the road. Listen, I've driven down a lot
of highways in my time. I have seen a number
of troopers, even at nighttime, parked on the side of
the highway. There's a reason they park on the side.
That's so if you're driving properly, they don't even have
(38:25):
to let you know they're there, and they still won't
get hit, and neither will you. This shouldn't be an issue.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I do wonder though, in the state of Washington, if
this actually plays with the jury they're like, oh, yeah,
white cop. Come on, I mean, you know, the cop
was parked on the side of the road. Only one
hundred miles per hour, just a little weed in alcohol.
What's the big deal? The immigration laws aren't fair. Who
knows anyway, I'm Keddy Webster. Thank you all for watching
and listening. You can find me on social media. I'm
(38:52):
on ex Im on YouTube. We are now on Rumble.
How exciting is that? And of course we're on the
book Faces. But Ana needs to look at that. We've
been shadow band there for years. I've had a half
a million followers on Facebook ever since the end of
the twenty twenty election, and the number has never gone up.
And I have a feeling I know why, you know
where the numbers do go up when I'm measuring the
(39:13):
love I have for all of you in my heart.
Have an awesome afternoon. I want to thank Ethan Buchanan
for being here. We'll be back bright and early tomorrow
morning for more of what you bought a radio for.
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Tell the government to kiss your ass when you listen
to this show.
The Giganic government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smiles of a suit
of happiness. Us on your radio toil, just as cheeseburgers
a living, it fries at food.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
President Donald J. Trump threatened Apple with the twenty five
percent tariff if they don't make iPhones here in America,
because our toddlers deserve the right to earn a living too. Hi, everybody,
I'm Kenny Webster and it is well, it's Tuesday, and
it's great to be with you this afternoon. I hope
you all had a safe and somber Memorial Day weekend.
You know, it's okay to have a happy Memorial Day weekend.
(00:47):
I know people get touchy about that, but as long
as you don't use the same kind of language Kamala
Harris did okay? No, not this year four years ago?
What'd you do this Memorial Day weekend? Did you remember
to stop and at least acknowledge the fact that people
gave their lives? Yesterday was Memorial Day and we were honored.
We honored those who died to preserve the greatest experiment
(01:09):
in human liberty, that of the United States. Of America.
So you've got your barbecues and your trips to the
beach and your family time. That all marks the holiday.
But I think a lot of people remember, besides being
the beginning of summer, it's also a moment to remember
those who lost their lives so we could be here
over the weekend. Kamala Harris, your former vice president, took
(01:32):
to social media and she tweeted out the following. She said, quote,
on Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who
have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation.
We owe these heroes and their loved ones everything, and
we will always remember what they have done to protect
our freedom. And then there's a picture of Arlington Cemetery.
(01:52):
Now I remember her tweet from four years ago. Four
years ago, then Vice President com Harris decided to tweet
the following enjoy the long weekend, with a picture of
her smiling. Boy, what a difference four years makes, Huh?
(02:13):
All we needed was a new president. Kamala Harris four
years ago on Memorial Day weekend, posted a photo of
herself smiling and it said enjoy the long weekend. Four
years later, she posted a picture of Arlington cemetery. It's
like she finally figured it out. My God, Kama is
not alone, by the way. Democrats on the Grill has
been a favorite social media event where liberals claim to
(02:36):
be grilling when the weber isn't even turned on. It's
just a photo they post on social media. You remember
Chuck Schumer did this, posted a photo of himself cooking
a raw hamburger with a slice of cheese on it.
Now granted Memorial Day weekend, fourth of July to people
on the left. These holidays don't really mean anything, but
(02:57):
Democrats are trying to connect with people now. They know
they are are in trouble. They're in big trouble. The
latest is that the Democrats are spending twenty million dollars
to try to figure out how to win back mail voters.
I know it's even worse than it sounds. Democrats are
getting roasted for this thing. Critics have slammed the Democrats
(03:20):
for an inauthentic twenty million dollar plan to study the syntax,
as they put it, used to win back mail voters.
Young mail voters, why won't you vote for us? You Nazis?
We hate you, don't leave us. Democrats have been baffled
as to why young male voters are abandoning the party
after the democraphics swung to the right for Donald Trump
(03:41):
in the November election last year. If you look ahead
to the twenty twenty six midterms and the next presidential election,
Democrats don't know what they're going to do. Men don't
like Democrats anymore, at least not the kind of average
blue collar workers that used to once frequent their party.
Whether they're talking about fans of Joe Rogan or comedians
(04:03):
like theovonn one thing is for sure. Average normal, middle class,
blue collar American men hate the Democrat Party. So the
New York Times is now reporting the Democrats have a
twenty million dollar plan speaking with American men, a strategic plan.
It's a promise to invest us study the syntax, language
(04:24):
and content that gains their attention. Probably don't use terms
like mansplaining to shame them. I mean, that'd be just
to start there. Maybe don't use terms like toxic masculinity
to describe what you think of men who watch football
and drink beer. If you ask a guy a question
and he tries to explain something to you, you'll actually
(04:46):
mock him for it. Just for being a man and
telling you something. If you get something wrong and a
man corrects you, that's called mansplaining. It's cringefest, guys, That's
what this is. Consultants doing Sultan things. They need to
talk to voters rather than analyze their language. How about
it if instead of trying to figure out what average
(05:07):
men want at an expensive, stuffy, twenty million dollar convention,
you go ask them stop pretending to cook a cheeseburger
on a grill and have an actual conversation with men crazy?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I know, right?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Wouldn't that be wild? Twenty million dollars? Are you guys
kidding me? A handful of liberal elitists gather together at
a what is this? At a Ritz Carlton in a
place called half Moon Bay, California. Gavin Newsom and Andy Basheer,
(05:39):
the Democrat governors of California and Kentucky, were both reportedly
in attendance. Very elite gathering. It featured appetizers like short rib,
Tustoni's Is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
What that is?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Tustony's Mini lobster rolls, beef tenderloin, and or dervs. According
to The New York Times, twenty million dollar event called
Speaking with American a strategic plan. I have an idea.
You know how you appeal to middle class men. It's
not by eating many lobster rolls. It's not with beef tenderloin. Guys.
Men eat hamburgers, men eat bacon, Men drink beer. What
(06:14):
are you drinking? Camus, give me a break. It's embarrassing.
I mean for them, not for me. I don't give
a damn. Democrat donors are now treating men like an
endangered species on a remote island. You don't need to
study them. Just talk to them, Hey, guys, what do
you think about things? And then when they answer the question,
(06:35):
don't tell them that they're mansplaining to you. It's an
interesting book about borderline personality disorder. It's called I Hate You,
Don't Leave Me? Does the Democrat Party as a whole
have borderline personality disorders? Have what their problem is? Do
they exist as one giant contradiction. It's like you're chasing
(06:58):
men away and then you're wonder why they're leaving. You're
stabbing them figuratively, speaking with a sword, and you're wondering
why they're bleeding. You have spent years trying to make
not just white men, but all men everywhere into the enemy.
And then you wonder why, for the first time ever,
more than thirty percent of black men in a state
like Texas, they're voting for Trump, probably because you made
(07:24):
them feel like they were your enemy, and so they
responded Accordingly, men are voting for Trump because Trump speaks
to them. Here's the shocking thing about this, women and
the LGBTQ community. They're also voting for Trump. You guys
spent way too much time pandering to non citizens. Over
the weekend, another Maryland lawmaker went down to El Salvador
(07:47):
to try to bring back an illegal immigrant who he
called one of his constituents. If your constituents are illegal
immigrants in foreign countries, I think I'm starting to understand
why average American men aren't voting for you. Hey, it's
me the Donald.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You're listening to the Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Radio voice of the Radio game. Okay, So a new
study suggests that depression can be spread through oral bacteria.
Then I must be depressed because every woman who kisses
me and looks like she wants to jump off a bridge. Hi,
thanks for turning us on. Coming up in a little bit.
Ethan Buchanan is going to be here. He's one of
(08:24):
our producers and weekend talk show hosts. He's also a
news reporter at KTRH. We're going to explore the situation
a little deeper, why men hate Democrats and Democrat politicians
and what can the Democrats do about it? And also
Beto O'Rourke is back. I will tell you what that means.
Apparently he's getting back into Texas politics, so we'll discuss it.
(08:45):
You know who else is back? Jesse Smallett. Jesse Smallett
is back. He will pay fifty thousand dollars to charity
to settle a hate crime lawsuit with Chicago, but he
still maintains that he's innocent. Entertainment Tonight reports that Jesse Smallett,
the now disgraced actor, and the city of Chicago announced
a settlement to resolve their years long battle over the
(09:07):
twenty nineteen claim that he was the victim of a
hay crime. Jesse Smallett is disclosing the terms of the
agreement and once again says he didn't he didn't do nothing.
He didn't do nothing. He had a very lengthy statement
in Instagram over the weekend. I know you all probably
followed Jesse Smallett on Instagram. I'm sure you love his posts,
so I don't need to tell you what he said.
(09:27):
But we'll pretend you didn't see it, and I'll tell
you right now. He revealed he has agreed to take
a fifty thousand dollars charitable donation he's going to make
to the Building Brighter Future Center for the Arts as
part of the deal. And I don't know much about
that charity, but he reiterated. The settlement is not an
omission of guilt. He said, quote over six years ago,
(09:48):
after it was reported that I had been jumped. City
officials in Chicago set out to convince the public I
willfully set an assault to get most of myself. This
false narrative has left to stain on my character that
will not soon disappear. Yeah, Jesse Small, it's become a
walking punchline and he's now the only one who's back.
J'all remember Ferguson Missouri, Well, okay, Ferguson, Missouri was the
(10:15):
center of quite a bit of controversy back at twenty fourteen.
It was eleven years ago. There were race riots happening
Breitbart dot Com today reporting on a guy named Wesley Lowery,
affectionately nicknamed the fire Starter. This guy pretends to be
a journalist. He worked at the Washington Post back when
the Ferguson riots were happening. He did more to gin
(10:37):
up the riots that gutted Ferguson, Missouri than anyone associated
with CNN. He was in Ferguson for only mercenary purposes.
He wanted to become a media star, regardless of the
cost of the city and the people of working class Ferguson.
And he did become a star. He won a Pulitzer Prize.
He went on to work at CNN and sixty minutes
(10:57):
he even wrote two books. All this success was based
on the proven lie that Michael Brown was a general
giant and not a three hundred pound thug who chose
to attack a police officer. This month has been a
welcome reminder that these heartless and shameless, narcissistic journalists always
eventually take a fall. Y'all. Remember Jake Tapper. He enjoyed
(11:21):
his long overdue collapse last week. Well, this week, Wesley
Lowry has been credibly accused of assaulting at least a
half a dozen women between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty four,
according to a report from the Columbia Journalism Review and
Wall Street Journal. A Wall Street Journal reporter named Amani
(11:41):
Moyes and Barbedwire editor in chief Olivia Mezzer, and two
other female journalists who chose to remain anonymous, all say
this guy had alcoholic drinks waiting for them, either when
they arrived or when they returned from the restroom, and
wound up leaving when Wesley Lowry, who they say sexually
assaulted them. Mezer explained that she woke up unsure of
(12:06):
what had happened, and he told her that he remembered
they'd had sex. A woman who says she met Lowry
on a dating app claims she blacked out. According to
the report, Moyes felt powerless to stop him. A fourth
woman says she remained conscious, she felt pressure from Lowry
to let him up to her apartment, where he tried
(12:27):
to pull her clothes off. She says he left after
she pretended to fall asleep. The obvious implication is that
Lowry ordered their drinks while they were gone and spiked
them with something that made them pass out. These four women,
according to the report, along with several others, including colleagues
and students, attest to a pattern of predatory behavior towards
(12:49):
young women in journalism going back years. The people that
published the reports say they reviewed emails, text messages, and
chat threads, and examined documents related to Wesley Lowry's times
at American University in Washington, DC. Moyes claims, quote when
I got there, he had already ordered me a drink.
I remember two drinks turned into four drinks. I remember
(13:11):
being so drunk that my head physically hurt, and I
was embarrassed by it. She says. Their conversation included the
hashtag me too movement. She wanted to leave. Quote he said,
don't worry, I'll pay for your cab. He ordered an
Uber black. She says. He put me in the car.
At this point, I was sloppy drunk. Then he gets in.
I was pretty drunk, but I was perceptive enough to
(13:34):
know something was happening. I said, where are we going?
He said my apartment. I felt powerless, she said, and
claims that what followed was quote a full blown assault. Quote.
I was too drunk to give consent. He got her
another Uber She says, I remember feeling terrible. It was
the longest ride to Bethesda. Guess that must be where
(13:56):
she lives. According to the report's portrayal of these periods,
Wesley says, the portrayal of these periods in my personal
life are incomplete and includes false insinuations about complicated dynamics. Still,
I respect the women who have shared their experience and
take their perspective seriously. As a young professional, I did
not always recognize the power imbalances that surfaced asred personal
(14:17):
relationships evolved into professional ones and vice versa. He added,
quote I should have better upheld boundaries that would have
protected myself and others, particularly during interactions compaired by mutual
intoxication end quote. Until March, this guy was an associate
professor and an executive editor of the Investigating Reporting Workshop
(14:40):
at American University. That's a bougie college in Washington, DC. Kids.
He left the university due to quote a series of
encounters detailed to Americans Title nine Office concerning Sexual Harassment
and Misconduct. Wow. Two student journalists claim he had used
sexually inappropriate language while discussing reporting practices with them. Hmm,
(15:04):
listen to this, says I don't have full insight into this,
but my understanding is there were three different complaints filed
at various points, and when a complaint is filed, the
Title nine office reviews it and the signs if they
are worthy of an investigation. He says, quote zero out
of these three complaints met that threshold. But I certainly
regret if I had any comment I ever made during
(15:25):
editing or anything else made anyone feel uncomfortable. End quote.
I have a lot of thoughts about this. Let's start
off with this. It is completely possible that this guy
is innocent. It's completely possible. What I think is very
statistically unlikely is that so many women and institutions and
(15:45):
organizations are all making accusations against this guy. Many of
them don't appear to have ever known each other besides
his former place of employment, students, women that he worked with.
Isn't it kind of interesting how many of them all
had the same complaint about the guy. Also, here's another
question I'll ask, let's go back to the thing that
(16:06):
made him famous. How many black owned businesses in Fergus
and Missouri were destroyed because this grifter lied and encouraged
people to go out and riot zero mention of police
or district attorneys or anybody out there whose lives may
have been affected by this guy or who helped lie
(16:27):
for him. Everyone in Saint Louis knows and knew the
truth about Michael Brown and his disgusting family. Those who
tried early on to tell the truth were threatened with violence,
and if they did speak out, they had to leave town.
And this guy is one of the reasons why that happened.
There's another media darling who they propped up for political purposes,
(16:50):
now crashing and burning once the truth comes out. Imagine
my shocked face.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You've got Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness on KATRC nine
point fifty.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
All right, good news, thousands of baby chicks abandoned in
a Delaware mail van were adopted. That's the good news.
The bad news is that it was by KFC. I
guess that's not actually that bad news. I like chicken.
The US ranked first in the world in swearing, according
to a new recent report. It's just more proof Americans
(17:24):
are furious they have to live in a country that
only allows them three dollars and five pencils. I don't
understand that. Hi, everybody I'm Kenny Webster. Thanks for turning
on your radio. It's good to be here with you.
I'm mom who wrote these things. These are terrible jokes.
It's good to be with you.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Thanks to everybody that joined us this weekend. In Where
were we Louisiana? We were in New Orleans. We were
in Jackson, Mississippi. We had four sold out comedy shows
this weekend. And then Jackson, Jackson was the thing as well.
People kept coming up to me in Jackson, Mississippi and saying,
welcome to Jafrica. And I don't know what that means,
but I just people kept saying it to I thought
(18:01):
that was a strange thing to say, and I would
not have thought to call it that, but apparently that's
what people say. You know what else I wouldn't think
of is to elect Beto O'Rourke to do anything. But
he's back now. For those that don't remember who Beto
o'arke is, Beto O'Rourke was the liberal Democrat who kept
failing his way to the top. I've never really understood
(18:21):
the appeal of Beto o'rourk. But now, in the wake
of Tim Walls and the Kamala Harris debacle. The Democrat
Party is starting to look at Beto O'Rourke and they're thinking,
maybe maybe this could be the guy. The Democrats have
a problem. Women, you know, are indifferent about the Democrat Party.
Men hate the Democrat Party. Who's the Democrat Party for now?
(18:42):
I don't know black, queer, transgenders, who are disabled. It's
not for average people. The Democrat Party is having a
big convention. They're spending twenty million dollars. So Kentucky Governory
Andy Basher and Gavin Newsom can help determine why don't
men like it anymore? Well, why men? Answer this question?
(19:03):
Why won't you vote for us? You toxic Nazis? Wait
a minute, I think your question actually answers the question
you're asking. The very nature of the question answers it.
Democrats went out and they told men for years, you're horrible,
you're awful, admit that you're privileged, you ruined the whole world. Oh,
by the way, we still want your vote. No, it
doesn't work that way. Doesn't turns out, average men who
(19:26):
pretty much built the modern world, who are responsible for
all of the great accomplishments that you enjoy, they can't
be shamed into voting for you, As it turns out,
So the Democrat Party back in the twenty twenty four
election thought, maybe Tim Walls, this guy who lied about
his military service and put tampons in little boys bathrooms,
maybe he's the guy that will appeal to average men.
(19:47):
Turns out no, and suddenly the Democrats are starting to
realize maybe it's Beto O'Rourke. Now there's a reason why
they're doing this. Where'd that story go? I had something
on my screen here. The latest pulling data reveals Cornyn
Senator John Cornyn, who's up against Texas Attorney General Ken
Paxton in the next US Senate race. And according to
(20:07):
this new polling data, Cornyn is trailing Paxton by sixteen points.
That's pretty bad, which means it's pretty likely Ken Paxton's
going to be the candidate next year. Now, if that's
the case, who's he going to be up against? The
latest on this is that it's Beto O'Rourke. Beto O'Rourke
and the Democrat Party have had a I guess, for
(20:28):
lack of a better term, a slippery slope of a
relationship over the years. There's an article in Vanity Fair.
I don't read Vanity Fair, but five days ago Vanity
Fair ran the following headline. Here, let me put this
on the screen. For those of you, by the way,
we're live streaming on social media. For those of you
that are listening to us on the radio right now,
you can also watch us live streaming. Here is a
(20:49):
headline from Vanity Fair. Oh there's a pop up ad
thank you, why Beto O'Rourke may never stop running? And
then the subheadline, this is from some guy named Joe Hagen,
and Joe right, the Texas politician has been hitting campuses
and streets to register voters, and he's keeping the faith
for Democrats. And it's as flattering as they could do.
(21:09):
It's not that flattering, but it's somewhat flattering. Now their
position on Beto o'roark has changed a little bit. I
want you to compare this to their headline in the
same newspaper from about five or six years ago. Here's
another one, Beto O'Rourke, I'm just born to be in
it again. An article by Joe Hagen, but photography by
Annie Leibovitz, the same person that famously photographed Vladimir Zelenski
(21:34):
who didn't love that. And it's pictures of Beto O'Rourke
very well photographed out in the middle of the West
Texas desert with his dog, and even the dog looks
like he wouldn't trust Beto O'Rourke. When you look at
the photographs, he's got a black lab and the black
lab's looking up at Beto like, no, this guy's not
going to lead us anywhere. He's a beta sissy boy.
Do you guys all remember all the things that made
(21:56):
Beto famous. He's the son in law of a guy
the half a billion dollars, so right away, that's why
he keeps running. But even progressives in his own community
don't like him. In El Paso, where Beto O'Rourke comes from,
he was involved years ago in what was like a
real estate scheme downtown with his father in law, and
(22:19):
it involved the eminent domain laws taking property away from
people to builds, and it was very unpopular with the
local progressives. He was famously part of a hacking cult
called Cult of the Dead Cow when he was a teenager,
not because he was some computer savant genius or whatever,
nothing to the quite to the contrary, actually He would
(22:41):
write articles for this online bulletin board called Cult of
the Dead Cow, where he would talk about how much
fun it might be to kill somebody. Yeah that's the
kind of Yeah, that's the fan fiction stuff he was
famous for writing. He once got into a terrible car
accident when he was drunk driving, and then he fled
the scene of the accident. And those are just some
of his more flattering character traits. I'm not really sure
(23:02):
what's to like about Beto O'Rourke, but I guess what
it really boils down to is this. They think Beto
O'Roarke can appeal to young male voters, to a group
of people that they're not appealing to at all, and
they think maybe Beto O'Rourke will be more appealing than
Ken Paxton. So I reached out to a young male voter,
not like physically or anything, just figuratively. He's one of
our weekend talk show us. He's a zoomer. He's in
(23:25):
his early twenties and Ethan Ethan Buchanan is here right now.
Not only does he work in the newsroom down the hall,
and he hosts a talk show here on the weekends
on KPRC. AM nine to fifty, the oldest radio station
in Texas. Ethan. The Democrats think that Beto O'Rourke is
how they're going to be able to win. You over,
what do you think?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
I don't know if it's so much they think, oh,
this guy's it, we finally found it. As much as
it is, well, we've got nobody else's That's what I
think the mentality is. I mean, they don't have candidates,
especially not here in Texas. They thought they had something
fresh and new with Colin Allred and we see how
(24:06):
that worked out. A Cruise beat Alred more than Trump
beat Harris here in Texas. So I think it's just
they have nothing else, so they go back to all
reliable and when you need somebody to run a race,
you just throw Beto O'Rourke out there and see what happens.
And as far as why Beto's in it, I think
it comes down to something you and I have talked about,
(24:27):
where people just run campaigns just to run campaigns. I
don't think Beto thinks he's going to win. I don't
think the Democrats think they're going to win, but they
have to run somebody, so they pick Beto and Beto says, well,
I might not win, but I'll get a bunch of
media attention and I'll get some campaign donations. So even
if I lose, I still win.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Okay, So right, I mean, that's pretty much what he's
done up until this point. Beto o'rourk performed what we
call the Texas Liberal hat trick. He lost the Senate
race to Ted Cruz, he lost the Governor's raised to Abbott,
and now they think maybe, of course, the presidential primary
that doesn't even count. Yeah, he got crushed in his
(25:09):
own party. His own party didn't want him right back
in twenty twenty. I think he was one of the
first Democrats to drop out of that thing. Him and
Kamala Harris didn't pick him to be their running mate.
They weren't interested in him at all, even not even
a little bit. But they think he's appealing to young
male voters. Wasn't he in a band with one of
the guys from Mars Volta or at the drive in
(25:30):
or something? I guess, I don't know. That's probably not your.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I'm gonna try not to date you as much as
I can. But who's Mars Volta?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Oh my god, Marsa. That's okay, never mind Ethan, what
kind of what music do you listen to? All right?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I listened to two kinds of music, either old folk
music from the Civil War or Mongolian folk rock music.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
And you're trying to make me feel old because I
listened to mars Volta, then I don't.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I'm not trying to make you old. I'm just it's weird.
But Beto O'Rourke's problem is this. He's running in the
Democrat Party, which I don't know how familiar you are
with them, but they don't tend to care for straight
white men, and Beto O'Rourke at least claims all of
those monikers. Although he tried to be Hispanic for a while,
we caught him he's actually Irish. But the Democrat base
(26:20):
doesn't like him, and the kind of moderate to right
leaning average white guy sees through his act. He's kind
of a self hating white guy. And we can see
that you're using the fact that, oh, I'm a white man,
look at me, I'm one of you bros. It's got
that same kind of feel as like a sixty year
(26:43):
old trying to use modern internet slang.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It just we know what you're doing and it's weird. Yeah,
but Tim Walls did this too. After losing, Tim Walls
went out and did a rally where he told voters,
you know, as an old white man, that's what's wrong
with America. And Tim Walls is an old white guy.
Tim Walls looks older than he is, he sounds older
than he is the only thing that makes him young
and hip is if you don't understand what young and
(27:05):
hip people want over the weekend, what is it? Scott
Pelley from sixty Minutes gave the commencement speech at the
graduation for wake Forest College or wake Forest University. It's
a room full of people that probably voted for Trump.
They're young people in their twenties. Young people are now
skewing right wing. They're now skewing conservative for the first
(27:25):
time in decades, for the first time as far back
as we've been tracking this, suddenly, young male voters in
young young voters in general are right wing. They're conservative.
I don't think old white liberals get that. They think
that young people are still liberal. They're not. I mean,
I guess we should be grateful they're not figuring this out.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
It's the echo chamber. You know, they still haven't gotten
out of that left wing echo chamber. I mean their
entire lives growing up in the sixties, because that's when
these old people were in their twenties, was in the sixties,
and everybody was a leftist and they were hanging out
with leftists. They were partying with leftists all through the sixties,
and as they got older and got into politics, they
(28:07):
got into left wing politics, they got into left wing journalism,
left wing newspapers, left wing media, and that just sort
of continued, and then social media was left wing for
a long time. Now that's kind of skewing the other
way thanks to Elin Musk.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
And x right.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
But the people that grew up in that system have
lived their whole lives in that system and have you know,
fostered the system. They're still in it. They're still in
the echo chamber. So young people are becoming more right
wing because they're rejecting the system that all these sixty
year old white liberals built, and the six year old
white liberals have not picked up to the fact that hey,
(28:42):
I'm alone in this echo chamber. I'm hearing the echoes
and I'm thinking it's other people. But no, it's just me.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Okay, well, I think you're onto something there. As we
are having this discussion, we are live streaming on social media,
and we're getting comments about it. King Quad on YouTube says,
shut up, Beto and go to hell too. On X
Coffee Machinery operator says, Beto running again is like Angel
Reese repeatedly throwing shots and never hitting sit on the bench.
Bro Carnifex Maximus on X says, come on, Ethan, those
(29:11):
aren't real genres. He's right. What did you say? You
like Mongolian?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Mongolian folk rock and I think you're just making stuff.
I swear to God, I swear to God it's real.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
What's a Mongolian folk rock band? Ethan?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
The who Hu? Not who not the Who the who Hu?
There's a Okay, I believe you good music, it really is, sure, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Lord Zoth on YouTube says, Hey, Kenny, just saw a
story about Texas trying to completely band THHC. What's up
with that. I'd expect that from my home state of Louisiana,
but not Texas. Okay, Oh boy, I actually I actually
think that plays into this topic a little bit. Yeah,
I think it does. I mean young conservative, right wing
Republican voters tend to like Trump. Obviously, how could they
(29:58):
not like Trump, It's why they came to the party,
and overwhelmingly they support legalizing marijuana. Pull after Paul reveals
that now Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is from the old
George W. Bush neo con wing of the Republican Party.
It was Trump who passed the Farm Bill. It was
Trump who legalized THHC and CBD products in all fifty states.
(30:18):
Low grade THHC but THHC nonetheless. And I gotta think
if they're Democrat. If I was a Democrat right now
and I was in the state of Texas and I
was trying to beat John Cornyn or Ken Paxton, probably
Ken Paxton in the general election next year, I think
this would be an issue I would run on. Young
Republican voters don't agree with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. Lieutenant
(30:40):
Governor Dan Patrick is like a dream come true right
now to the Democrat Party because he's actually doing something
that moderates all moderates, all Democrats, and even most Republicans.
According to the polling I've seen, about seventy percent of
Republicans don't agree with and that's outlawing THHC products. Ethan,
you're a young voter. What's your take. I know you
don't smoke weed, and that's okay.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
But I don't smoke weed, but I do, as a libertarian,
support any given any given persons.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
A Libertarian party member. No, No, because they're a joke. Okay,
So just a libertarian ideology. You're a Republican. Yeah, so
you are the exact group of people that the Democrats
are having a convention right now to try to get
votes from. Right, let's pretend hypothetically, Ethan in you know,
just hypothetical, right, what would the Democrats have to hypothetically
do to win your vote?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
What would they do if the Democrats really wanted to
win my vote? And god, it's hard to pin it
down to one thing. If the Democrats wanted to win
my vote, what they would have to do is say, we,
as the Democrat Party, if you give us control of
(31:50):
the federal government, all three branches and both chambers of Congress,
we will do literally nothing and the states can handle
every single issue in their own legislatures. If that was
their pitch, if that was what they were doing, I
would vote for Democrat at every federal position, and I
would vote as far right as I could at every
(32:11):
state level position.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, but that's exactly why they're not going to do.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Guess exactly what they're not going to do, which is
why they'll never win my vote. Yes, this is kidding
Webster's pursuit of happiness. Dig it.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
The state of New Jersey leads the nation in missing
cat reports. Did any went Texas? Cy If they also
lead the nation in Haitian immigrants, that would be something,
wouldn't it? It would be very awesome? All right, let's
talk about illegal immigration for just a second. A report
today at what is this breipart dot com from our
good friend John Nolty details something we talked about on
(32:43):
this show many many times before. Apparently, the issue with
illegal immigrants it's not just about violent, dangerous people out
on the streets collecting benefits and violently attacking people. Sometimes
it's about car accidents. I mean, no, it's true if
someone's an illegal immigrant, they're in the country and they're
not following the driving laws. That has actually been the
(33:04):
source of a lot of recent deaths in our country.
And we've documented some of this stuff on the air
many times now. We have a new one. There's a
lawyer that is defending Raoul Benitez Santana. That was the
car accident that resulted in the death of a Washington
State Patrol trooper in March twenty twenty four. The lawyer
(33:24):
said it was not a crime, it was just a
car accident. And you can actually watch the lawyer make
her argument here. Let me turn this on so people
watching us live streaming can check this out. Go ahead,
play the tape. Oh sorry, hang on a second, we
need a little volume here. Kevin and Mulligan in the
dark early.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Morning hours, May second, twenty twenty fourth part. A series
of unfortunate circumstances collided in one of the darkest stretches
of I five, and that coming together of these unfortunate
circumstances led to a tragic accident.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
We had.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
A blacked out suv.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Parked on the side of the road, giving no warning
to any other driver on the road that night of
its presence. We had a black SUV traveling above the
posted speed limit. And we had a white van being
driven by a sleep deprived and inexperienced driver who forgot
(34:38):
to turn on his headlights. And when these three circumstances collided.
Not only did it result in a catastrophic accident, it
resulted in the tragic death of a trooper. Gad, but
(34:59):
it is a crime.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
It's not a crime. Okay, this person says it's not
a crime. Let's walk through why it's a crime. It
turns out, according to authorities. Why authorities thought it was
a crime, this person was in the country illegally. Why
don't we start with that. This person was driving one
hundred miles over the speed limit. Oh my god, yeah,
when he hit the troopers vehicle. This person admitted to
smoking drugs. Now the drug was marijuana. Still you're not
(35:23):
supposed to you know, you could think that's the safest drug. Still,
not supposed to smoke it and operate a motor vehicle.
Here's where this gets tricky. The person admitted to drinking
alcohol in addition to smoking weed, was also drinking alcohol
and blew a point four to seven on the breathalyzer. Ethan,
you're a pretty smart guy. What is the what is
the legal limit for drinking?
Speaker 4 (35:43):
I think if you're if you're driving, it has to
be under point three right point eight?
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I think, so, I don't know. I've never gotten a
DUI before. But still you're high on drugs. You're pretty drunk,
and I mean it's at least driving under the influence
certainly is Yeah. The combination of alcohol and marijuana combined
with the fact that you killed a guy, I think,
and you're in the country illegally and you're driving one
hundred miles over the one hundred miles power sounds illegal.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Take a note of her language too. She keeps saying
a series of unfortunate circumstance collided. These circumstances colliding. The
circumstances didn't collide, the cars did, right, These are vehicles.
You killed a guy, even if you did it on accident.
There's a penalty to be paid there. Even if you
were driving as perfectly as you could and just something
(36:34):
happened and you kill a guy, there's still some consequences
to be paid there, right.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Take a look at the lawyer too. Like I could
tell you everything about this lawyer without knowing anything about
this lawyer. This lawyer voted for Kamala Uh. This lawyer
drinks soy. This lawyer thinks that toxic masculinity is destroying America,
but doesn't understand why men don't support the Democrat Party anymore.
No makeup, no attempt to look feminine at all. Shoulder pads.
(37:01):
Women don't bring this trend back shoulder pads. What women?
Why are you wearing shoulder pads? Tilliam, It's missing? Here
is the blue hair? Where's the blue hair?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Wow, that's what I was gonna say. Her hair is
shockingly natural color.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, you can't be an attorney and have blue hair.
But anyways, according to the report, last March twenty seven,
year old Trooper Christopher Gadd was parked in his cruiser
on the shoulder of the Interstate three in the morning
when an illegal alien, shielded from deportation by the Democrat
fron Washington state insane sanctuary city laws, swerved and struck
the troopers cruiser one hundred and seven miles per hour.
(37:33):
Santana's car bounced back into the traffic lane, where he
was then struck by a van carrying six people. The
van's driver suffered a broken wrist. Trooper gad By the
way left behind a young wife and a daughter. And
in any of that, if any of that is true,
it does sound a lot like that's a crime. One
hundred over one hundred miles per hour, multiple substances, high
(37:53):
out of your mind, in the country illegally. What do
you want guys? Of course this person belongs in prison.
This is absolutely bonkers to me, Ethan, I'll let you
get the final word.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
She casually tried to blame it on the trooper day
or did you notice it was a blacked out troopers
suv made no indication that he was parked on the
side of the road. Listen, I've driven down a lot
of highways in my time. I have seen a number
of troopers, even at nighttime, parked on the side of
the highway. There's a reason they park on the side.
That's so if you're driving properly, they don't even have
(38:25):
to let you know they're there, and they still won't
get hit, and neither will you. This shouldn't be an issue.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I do wonder though, in the state of Washington, if
this actually plays with the jury they're like, oh, yeah,
white cop. Come on, I mean, you know, the cop
was parked on the side of the road. Only one
hundred miles per hour, just a little weed in alcohol.
What's the big deal? The immigration laws aren't fair. Who
knows anyway, I'm Keddy Webster. Thank you all for watching
and listening. You can find me on social media. I'm
(38:52):

a million followers on Facebook ever since the end of

And I have a feeling I know why, you know
where the numbers do go up when I'm measuring the

love I have for all of you in my heart.
Have an awesome afternoon. I want to thank Ethan Buchanan
for being here. We'll be back bright and early tomorrow
morning for more of what you bought a radio for.
