Speaker 1 (00:00):
Giganic government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
happiness on your radio to al just as Cheezburger is
libery rise at.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Over the weekend, Elon Musk attended Seapack where he waived
a chainsaw and talked about cutting costs. And I'm sure
you already realize what this means. The chainsaw is pregnant. Hi,
welcome to the show. We're gonna talk about Elon Musk
to start the show, but before we do, at the
bottom of the hour, my guess will be April Aguire.
April Guire is on a task force for Governor Abbott
(00:43):
to deal with, well, among other things, corruption in the
judicial system here in the state of Texas, as well
as calling out bad laws involving illegal immigration. We'll get
to all of that stick around that's coming up in
just a little bit. Before we get to it, let's
start with Elon And in fact, why don't we start
with Robert Democrat Representative Robert Garcia. He's a California lawmaker
(01:05):
and according to a report today from John Nolty, he
received a letter from the Department of Justice and what
they did was they asked him to clarify comments he
made last week about quote bringing actual weapons to stop
DOGE supervisor Elon Musk. I know this is shocking, but
liberals often think they're allowed to joke about killing people
(01:27):
or hurting people, or naming people. I mean, they'll accuse
us of violence just for suggesting that trans men shouldn't
be able to compete with little girls in sports. But
they'll actually vividly describe violently attacking people, and they immediately think,
what I was just kidding? What's the big deal. There's
a woman running for Congress right now against Dan Crenshaw.
(01:49):
I don't like Dan Crenshaw. I've said this many times,
but this woman, whose name is Ava Zlori, calls herself
Chrissy Ann on social media. It's not a real name,
and as inauthentic as she is. One of the reasons
why I often wonder if she's secretly a liberal is
because she did the exact thing I just described on
social media. Somebody on social media asked her who's ass
(02:13):
they should kick, and she told them they should kick
my ass. Because as a broadcast journalist, I asked why
she uses a fake name Why does she have a
California area code? Why does it appear that she lives
outside of her district? She told someone on social media
they should violently attack me. Those were her own words.
You know, there's the screenshots to prove it, and that's fine.
(02:34):
I don't care that. You know, liberals are like that.
We expect that from them anyway. This isn't about her.
It's about this guy, Representative Robert Garcia. Much like Dan
Crenshaw's weird mysterious ghost opponent, he made comments about being violent.
Back on February twelfth, he appeared on CNN Cien I
(02:55):
can't believe CNN still exists. The far left propaganda outlet
frequently famentsolence against Trump and his supporters, and after repeating
his claim that Elon Musk was the D word, you know,
Vice President Cheney, he then said the following. He said, quote,
and I think that Musk's also harming the American public
in an enormous way. And what I think is really important,
(03:17):
and what the American public wants is for us to
bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an
actual fight for democracy. End quote. I have a SoundBite
of him saying it, but I won't make you listen
to it because I just told you what it says.
It's eliminationist rhetoric, and it's par for the course on CNN.
But unfortunately for these people, Donald Trump is now in
(03:40):
charge of the government. So Trump's Department of Justice has
decided that threatening public officials is no longer acceptable. Edward Martin,
the US attorney for Washington d C, wrote to Garcia
a few days later and said, at this time, I
respectfully request that you clarify your comments from February twelfth,
twenty twenty five, during a live interview view with CNN,
(04:02):
when asked how Democrats can stop Elon Musk, you spoke
quite clearly. The letter then directly quotes Garcia's threat of
actual weapons, which was what I just read to you.
Sounds like a threat to mister Musk. Elon is an
appointed representative of Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the President
of the United States. We the people put him in
(04:23):
that department. By threatening members of its administration, you are
either directly or indirectly, I would say, directly threatening the
people of America. And thank god, the DOJ takes threats
against the public officials quite seriously. Naturally, Garcia just laughed
it off. He said, so, if you criticize Elon Musk,
(04:44):
Trump's DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress
must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump administration,
he says. He says he will not be silenced. Guys,
every decent person wants everyone uoting jackass congressman to have
the right to forcefully oppose anyone. That's how America is
(05:05):
supposed to work. But when you call for actual weapons
for an actual fight, you're making a different statement, aren't you.
That crosses a line, especially after two close call assassination
attempts on Donald Trump that were undoubtedly inspired by this
kind of rhetoric. This type of violent rhetoric must be
strangled in the crib, regardless of which side is guilty.
(05:27):
And just so we're clear, I do mean figuratively. Unfortunately,
we now live in a country where the left can
threaten anyone on the right and even get violent with
anyone on the right, and the regime media outlets like
CNN will either ignore it or justify it. We've known
this for a while, remember MSNBC reporting on the riots
back in the Summer of Love twenty twenty, calling them
(05:48):
mostly peaceful. In an environment where the social control of
the dominant media sides with calls for violent from the
political left, a warning letter from the Justice Department is warranted.
There's a new found acceptance of political violence on the left,
and the legacy media has embraced it. It needs to
(06:10):
be nipped in the bud at every opportunity. Frankly, it's
crazy how it got so bad. Unfortunately, the people in
charge right now are putting a stop to it now.
With all that being said, the Pentagon and DOGE are
talking about cutting a lot of waste right now, and
thank god they are, because when you look at the
(06:33):
things that are showing up in these reports, it is
baffling how much money got pissed away by the previous administration.
New York Post reporting today on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth just made a big announcement. His plan this week
is to move up to fifty billion dollars of the
Pentagon's budget from quote, low impact and low priority programs
(06:55):
to ones that align with Trump's defense strategy. That's an
excellent first step to get the department ready for the
threats of America faces from China, Russia and all of
our other adversaries. But not even cutting every last DEI program,
every last burdens some administrative process, it all needs to
yield anywhere close to fifty billion. The only way to
(07:17):
find that kind of money is to cut weapons programs
that no longer meet America's needs. And the first item
on the chopping block should be the long range standoff missile.
It costs sixteen billion dollars over the next ten years.
The Long Range standing what they call it an lrso
that's what they refer to. It is a nuclear capable
(07:38):
air launched cruise missile intended to be carried by bombers
like the B fifty two or the B two or
the B twenty one. Now, the US nuclear arsenal includes
a tryad of air land sea weapons. This would be
an air component, but we no longer need air based
nuclear weapons. We don't need them at all. The bedrock
of our nuclear arsenal is the land based arm of
(08:00):
the triod, including intercontinental ballistic missiles. They would deliver a
massive retaliatory blow if we detect an inbound Chinese or
Russian first strike. To put it plumbing at sixteen billion,
dollars we don't need to spend. Congress has plans to
add up to one hundred and fifty billion dollars over
the next ten years to our defense spending. But to
(08:23):
get defense spending up to three point four percent of
the GDP the level at which Trump left it at
at the end of his first term, will need to
add at least thirty billion to forty billion more each
year to Congress's planned layout. Killing the LRSO is just
one of the first steps. Is it exciting? Is it,
you know, salacious and sexy and no? In fact, just
(08:43):
explaining it out loud is confusing and boring and tedious.
But it still matters.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I'm not a fan of the government doing anything.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
This is the pursuit of happiness. Radio on kprc Am
nine to fifty. Right, we're back from breg and we've
got to get to what is going on right now
with Bongino and Cash Paatel. Dan Bongino and Cash Pattel
are now in charge of the FBI. Cash Pattel is
(09:12):
a Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theorist. I'm not criticizing him for that.
I am too, and Dan Bongino, as a lot of
you know is a talk radio show host. Now, to
be clear, Dan Bongino's resume has a little more on
it than that he was formerly a member of the
Secret Service, so he does have a little experience being
a government law enforcement agent. Good for him, you know,
(09:32):
I assume he qualifies. I think he's qualified for the job.
Although it is interesting to think. We were just talking
about Pete hag Seth, the Department of the Pentagon Secretary
in the last break and in the last segment, and
now we're talking about Dan Bongino, a talk radio show
host turned Well, he's a government agent turned talk radio
show host turned Secret Service agent. No turned FBI deputy director.
(09:56):
What do Dan Bongino and Pete hag Seth have in common?
Them is a talk show host and the others a
talk show host, and I'm a talk show host. Now,
I think those guys are probably more than qualified to
do the job. I assume they probably are, but I
don't actually personally know them. I do know that me,
a talk show host, is probably not qualified to do
(10:16):
those jobs. So it does make me a little suspicious
about them. But before we get to any of that,
someone keeps calling me on the phone. Here hang on,
I'm gonna answer this real quick. Hold on KPRC. Who's this?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Oh? Yes, my name is Larry Elliott. I was calling
them about my class. My high school class is having
their fifty year reunion. I didn't know. I came out
of the y'all's office on sixteen and did they give
me your name and number or so forth? And I
was gonna see it. Is there any way y'all can
ever say anything about the class of Smile in high
(10:48):
schools having their fifty year reunion on the twenty sixth
and twenty seventh of April, And y'all, I can give
you all a number that you can touch with the
person that's over.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It you want to talk about it on the radio.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, I didn't know if you'll do that or not.
Just mentioned that the Smiley Smiley High School is having
their fifty year reunion on the twenty sixth, and that's
the twenty fifth and twenty sixth of April, and they
can call La Lunsford and she'll give them all the facts. Well,
if you'll do.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
That, Well, this is a conservative talk radio station. Do
you think that your classmates are conservatives or liberals?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We're about as conservative as you can get. Trump is
on our wall, if you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
All right, what's your name? What's your first name? Brother?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
My name is. My name is Larry Elliott. Last name
is Elliott E L l out.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Okay, and you're okay with us having that on the radio.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
The our reunion. You come out all.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The things you just said. You're on the radio right now, sir.
We're telling the audience that's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Hi there anyway, But no, but I told them I
would put it in a a note to y'all that
y'all could advertise to the reunion has come up on
the twenty fifth and twenty sixth of April.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Well, well we just did it, Larry that you know,
congratulations to the class for surviving this long if they're
still alive, you know, like Monty Python said, I am
not dead yet. I can laugh and I can sing,
so congratulations.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's right. That's right, that's right. Well, anyway, if y'all
would say something about that, that'd be great.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We just did. We just did it, Larry.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That sounds great, Thank you, Silver and I appreciate it.
Is there any way that that y'all can? I mean,
do I need to call a different times, so therefore
you will be to send more than just once.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I got to be honest with you, Larry, I don't
think we're going to devote more airtime to this than
what we already just devote. Yeah. No, I know this
is important to you, but it's not generally the primary
focus of the radio station. I mean, if you wanted
to buy airtime, we charge for that. Did you did
you have a budget for this?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, we don't. Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So you're a conservative. You just want us to give
you guys free advertising. I mean sounds kind of liberal
to me, Larry.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
You know I don't want to get into politics. You know,
I'm an American, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Is this is literally a This is literally a political
talk station. Sir.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Okay, that's super thank you so very much for your time.
But I'll remember just what you said. Thank you, sir, Larry.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
We aren't we support you. We just were devoting airtime
to it. Right now, We've spent three minutes on this already.
He hung up on me. Well, that was rude. This
is rock and roll radio.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Come on it, rock and roll with the remote.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Just hours after being sworn in as the new FBI director.
Town Hall dot Com reports Cash Bettel has been appointed
to be the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms,
and Explosives. This move comes as a part of a
broader reshuffling within the law enforcement, and Patel is expected
to bring his strong background in counter terrorism and nationalist
(14:05):
security to this new role. Is that interesting, So he's
head of the FBI and he's head of the ATF.
That is fascinating. The ATF's growing focus on combating violent
crime and illegal firearms trafficking makes Patel's leadership pivotal in
shaping the agency's future direction. According to the Trump administration,
and according to several sources, Trump is expected to name
(14:28):
Patel as the acting director of the ATF. He would
replace Marvin Richardson, the agency's current acting director. Last week,
Attorney General Pambonni dismissed the ATF General Counsel Pamela hicks Aw.
Bye bye, Pamela. She served as chief counsel since twenty
twenty one under the Biden administration. So I'm sure you
know how great she must have been if you don't
(14:50):
know anything about her. Obviously, Patel being put in charge
of the ATF means he's responsible for regulating things like
firearm sales and restrictions registrations among Americans. We've noticed that
the ATF and certain banking institutes around America have really
been over backwards to violate your rights over the past
(15:11):
few years, especially since January sixth. There's so many news
stories about that. This will presumably return some normalcy to
Americans who care about their Second Amendment rights. It's a
fascinating thing.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Patel barely made it on Friday to be put in
charge of the FBI fifty one to forty nine. It's
a close call, kids. Anyway, we got them. Interestingly enough,
The deputy director of the FBI just as controversial, just
as interesting. Sunday night, Trump announced former NYPD officer and
(15:50):
Secret Service agent Dan Bongino will serve as deputy FBI
director under Cash Battel. This is great news for law enforcement.
It's great news for American just Bongino is obviously qualified.
I mean I think he is. You do wonder why
he wanted to give up his job as a talk
show host. I don't think this pays more, but maybe
(16:11):
he didn't need the money. I don't know Bongino is
weighing in on his new position, saying it's time to
get to work. He says, quote, I've spent my life
in public service, beginning with the NYPD and continuing through
my time as Secret Service Agent, working under both Republican
and Democrat administrations. He says he's witnessed firsthand the dedication,
(16:32):
the sacrifice of men and women in these agencies who
serve with integrity and honor. It's a very awesome thing,
a beautiful moment here for America, and boy do we
need him. We need good people in law enforcement now
more than ever because even though we've got the FBI,
we finally control the federal government. One thing we don't
(16:54):
control is the big cities. I'm from Chicago, Illinois. Illegal
immigrants have poured into that city. They have an exceptionally
unpopular mayor, a loud advocate on behalf of unlawful migration,
pro criminal progressivism, they call it. We're going to talk
about that a bit in the next segment with April Liguire.
(17:17):
She's stopping by. She's a victim's rights advocate. You may
have heard of her before as being the spokesperson for
Joshua and Nungries family. But there's a real toxic combination
in big cities like Houston or Chicago that's resulted in
quite a lot of crime and really controversial allocations of resources.
It stirred a lot of public anger, you could see why.
(17:40):
So now the newly enacted Lake and Riley Act very
slowly starting to address the problem on a limited, piecemeal basis,
but the underlying issue remains widespread and acute. So when
you hear what just happened in Chicago, you are going
to vomit. An illegal immigrant, a suspected member of Trende Arragua,
(18:04):
is out on probation, free to roam the streets of Chicago,
even though he's been charged with domestic batter even though
he's been charged with violent crimes, even though he's got
previous weapon charges in Cook County, that's Chicago, even though
he was ordered to be deported in twenty twenty two.
In twenty twenty two, Joe Biden was president, Yet somehow
he's stayed in the country. Now they've captured him again
(18:28):
and released him again, this time in Chicago. It is
inconceivable madness. This gang connected illegal immigrant has already been
ordered deported by a judge, already been arrested for additional crimes,
suspective of an involvement in a homicide, stands charged with
kidnapping sexual assault. Despite all of that, Chicago officials won't
(18:50):
play with the Feds. They won't play ball and get
this guy put back in jail and detained and punished
for a crime and then deported like you should be.
He's been gifted the very special protected privilege of being
a criminal alien. And as if that wasn't bad enough,
in spite of his rap sheet, city authorities aren't even
holding him behind bars as he waits trial for kidnapping
(19:14):
and sexual assault. Think about how insane that is. The
Chicago system is protecting a man, a monster, i would say,
from the deportation order already leveled against him, even after
he's allegedly committed numerous charged and suspected violent felonies, and
as they let him walk free awaiting his latest court proceeding.
They've told him to surrender his guns and keep his
(19:36):
distance from the victim. And I'm sure he'll do it too. Right.
You trust him, don't you. This is Binney Sentus and
you are listening to the pursuit of happiness. Radio.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Now give me all of your money, because that's the
only thing that's fair.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
But but, but, but but bail reform. Bail reform means
something different now than what it used to mean. Did
you know that times change opinions of Once in a while,
words that have meant something for a while in political
discourse suddenly change their definition. I'll give you an obvious example,
and then I'll give you one that's a little more complicated.
(20:11):
An obvious example would be who is the establishment who
is the resistance? A year ago you could have said
Donald Trump was the anti establishment candidate. Now, although I'd
still consider him to be anti establishment considering the nuances
of the deep state, technically Trump is now the establishment.
You could understand why he's the president, after all, if
(20:33):
you considered yourself to be part of the resistance movement
a year ago. Now, if you were part of the
resistance movement, that would mean you were anti Trump, whereas
a year ago you were pro Trump. Today, the Republicans
control everything again. I know that's a little more complicated
when you think about what it means to be part
of the deep state and the fourth branch of government.
But I digress. Here's another term that recently changed its definition,
(20:56):
bail reform. For the past four or five years, maybe longer.
If you lived in Southeast Texas or really any big
city around America, when somebody talked about bail reform, odds
are they were probably talking about changing the policies so
dangerous criminals could get out of jail with little to
no bail. Well, the problem with the word reform is
(21:18):
it I mean, it's not a problem what it means
at its surface, right face value. Here, reform describes changing something.
So if that's been the policy for the past few years, now,
when you hear people talk about bail reform, they mean
the opposite. They mean not having policies that let criminals
out of jail with little to no bail. Get it,
(21:38):
you're smart, you understand. We have bail reform happening in
Texas right now. A lot of it has to do
with illegal immigrants, but some of it has to do
with certain violent offenders. In nearly unanimous votes, members of
the Texas Senate last week advanced legislation that would deny
bail to illegal aliens charged with felonies, as well as
certain violent offenders. The violent offenders aren't necessarily illegal immigrants,
(22:01):
but illegal immigrants are the big part of this laws.
It's inspired by Joscelyn's Law. You're familiar with Joscelyn Nungery,
I'm sure. Wednesday of last week, senators passed Senate Joint
Resolution IE, a policy by State Senator Joan Huffman. I
here in Houston, hear and I don't always agree on things,
but boy, we sure do agree on this. Joscelyn's Law
(22:23):
passed twenty nine to two. Two people were against this,
and then remarkable State Senator Juan Hinojosa of McAllen said
that for many years, judges across the state have been
setting bonds without having the proper inform information on the defendant,
and well, you get the point. Keep dangerous criminals in jail.
(22:44):
What a novel idea. That's amazing. It's not the only
idea floating around. Texas. Senators approved a constitutional amendment restricting
bail for human trafficking suspects. Look, whatever you think of
illegal immigrants or migrants, or whatever word you choose to
just describe them, I think it's an easy argument to
be made that a human trafficker is worse than when
(23:07):
Consuela moves into the country and tries to become a
cleaning lady. It's not the same thing right now. Granted,
we don't want people coming into the country illegally for
any reason, but I'm sure you would probably agree human
traffickers are right up there with rapists and murderers. It's
one of the worst things you can do. So bail
reform is happening, and it's not just happening because our
(23:27):
elected officials decided it needed to happen. It's happening because
of the hard work of grassroots activists. One of those
people has been a regular guest on this radio show,
somebody we would book from time to time who you
probably have heard of before. If you're from the Houston
area and you're concerned about criminal illegal aliens, odds, are
you know who April li Guire is. April used to
(23:49):
be a grassroots activist. Now she actually works in a
position assigned to her by the government to deal with
the kind of topics were discussed right now, April, what
is your official job title now?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
According to Governor Abbott, I am a commissioner for the
States and I oversee in plain terms, the punishment of
bad rogue judges.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Now, you used to be somebody who would show up
at press conferences doing victims rights, you know, speaking on
behalf of the family of the victim of a serious
violent crime, and a lot of elected officials did not
want you to speak in public. But that's really changed,
hasn't it.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Wow, they like it or not, we're not going anywhere.
When my niece was murdered, we didn't really know how
to navigate the system, and we learned early on how
to by force. And we didn't want every victim coming forward,
especially parents of murdered children, to have to start from zero.
So we take them by the hand and help them
(24:52):
every step of the way. And we're hoping to make
a bunch of different versions of what we are doing
so that we can put pressure on the system. So,
for example, Jocelyn unger AD's mom, Alexis, we empowered her
to help her go forward, you know, and she also
reached national levels versus grieving in silence.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah. Look, I think this is such an obvious argument
to be made. Why would we want dangerous criminal illegal
immigrants to be walking around on the streets of Houston
or anywhere else in America if we know that they're
dangerous criminal illegal immigrants. But I mean it's true of anyone,
but particularly those are the violent history. Why would anyone
(25:32):
give resistance to this April.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
That's a great question that I don't understand. The defense
attorney for Jocelyn hunger Age murderers that said, oh, he's
a father, he is, he's just a hard worker. I said, well,
you know what, why don't you take him home? I
hear he's great with kids. You know, these people that
stand up for these criminals don't want these criminals in
(25:56):
their neighborhoods or near their children, but they're fine sent
them back out to low income communities where they came from.
So they continue to cause harm to low income citizens.
So you really have to pick a side. Who are
you for? Are you for low income minority citizens that
are law abiding or are you for the criminal aspect
of the low income community, which is a very small percentage.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, So let's talk a little bit about bail reform
in the Texas legislature. This seems like it's moving in
the right direction. We can always count on the Senate,
Can we always count on the State House?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Absolutely? Not so there is this what a portion of
this Bell reform has been attempted to be passed for
This is the third legislative session. Okay, it keeps getting
shut down. Basically, it's very common sense giving judges the
ability to deny bail to violent offenders despite how much
(26:50):
money they do or do not have, or their rates.
It seems very simple. So for example, going back to
Jocelyn Hungary's case, because it's a very well known case,
the judge was compelled had to give a bill, so
he gave him a ten million dollar bill each the
u of H rapist, they had to give him a bail,
(27:12):
they gave him fifty million. Of course they cannot make
that percentage of bail right, but what if they could.
Theoretically speaking, judges need to have the ability to deny
bail to violent offenders, and they don't have that ability
right now.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
The UAH rapist story is crazy. They had this guy
in custody. I mean, look, it's just a photo. But
in the photo he looks menacing and dangerous, and yet
they actually released him after they detained him, didn't they.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
They did, And it's because he got the special privileged
package there at the courthouse, which is homeless and African
American and low income, so he gets special treatment, and
I am tired of the special treatment at the courthouse.
Don't think. I don't not believe that your financial position
as this planet should make your crime less than what
(28:05):
it is. We should look at the severity of the
crime and public risk above all.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I mean, that's exactly right. Often is the case that
people committing violent crimes are in a situation that forced
them and their opinion to commit call violent crimes. They're
they're down and out, financially, mentally unstable, homeless. What is
the point of jail if not to protect the innocent
from the dangerous? Because jail is certainly not a place
(28:31):
where people get rehabilitation. The recidivism rate in this country
proves that.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But you know what what jail does do it it
keeps people away from causing harm to others. So they say, oh,
the jails are full of minority of minority and low
income people. Yeah, but let's talk about the low income
minority people that are they are not harming because they
are put away. I don't don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I don't understand this race quota inter resting thing. It's like, Okay,
we've got too many blacks and browns in jail. We've
got a fair amount of lights or Latinos, but not
enough Asians. Using that same argument, shouldn't every time an
Asian person vaguely gets accused of a crime, shouldn't they
get the worst punishment If the black person, for example,
(29:21):
gets the lightest punishment. I mean, people would be furious
if it went the other way for obvious reasons. So
why is this okay?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It's wrong. And I don't believe anybody should be getting
special privileged because they are low income. Period. I think
that the severity of the crime needs to be. What
I've seen in the public risk assessment needs to be done.
This individual attacked a complete stranger and broad daylight in
a parking garage at nice point and raped her. If
(29:53):
that doesn't speak public safety risk, I don't know what
that is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
April. You are a very beautiful and intelligent young woman,
happily married, I might point out to our listeners, and
you you and your husband have children. How many kids
do you have?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
We have five kids, and so as a.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Mom in this city, when you see the direction things
are moving in. I mean that you put away your
official position in the state government, your activism, had all
those things. I got to think this is just infuriating
for someone like you to know you live in a
society that is becoming less and less safe every day
because of systematic purposes that are certainly.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Preventable, absolutely, and that there's zero consequences. So a little
fun fact, my parents migrated here from Mexico because things
were so bad, because they couldn't be their house at
certain hours, because they had to pay a fee weekly
to keep them safe in the same cartails that operated
in that area, right, and they knew what the rate
(30:50):
is for rapes and murders and missing children of women
and young women and little girls in Mexico. So that
was one of the factors of why we left to
this country. So when you don't have consequences, then we're
just going to be come to go two point Oh.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, well said you know, you're doing awesome work. April.
You can find April on social media. She's on X
of course, April like you at X. If people want
to find out more about the work you're doing, what
can they do?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Follow me on Twitter? We're always posting things that we
can do and dates on when we can go before
the House and testify. If anybody has been affected or
is highly opposing this bond the way things are right now,
this climate, please come out and testify at the House.
We should have dates this week and we got to
give them hell. And the public needs to come forward
(31:37):
because if they don't, the narrative continues.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
April, You're doing God's work. I am so proud to
be your friend. Thank you so much for giving us
some time this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Thank you, Kenny faith He love America.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Here the government listen live. Listen now, dude, proceed of
Happiness Radio. It's kind of Webster junior producer, Kenny. Before
we get out of here, let's talk about what's going
on in the media. Now. For those of you that
don't care about who has a job in the media,
who doesn't, I understand, but pay attention anyway, because this
(32:10):
does affect you. What goes on in the media certainly
impacts the lives of regular Americans because people absorb this
information and react to it. Crap goes in, crap goes out.
It's just like your diet. NBC News may be a
dying institution, but it's still pretty important on its surface.
(32:30):
Breitbart dot Com today reporting on I think three separate
stories involving NBC News each equally fascinating, but when crammed together,
they make up a very complicated and accurate depiction of
what's going on with legacy media far left. NBC News
settled a thirty million dollar defamation case filed after its
(32:50):
MSNBC All Star team falsely accused a doctor of performing
mass hysterectomies at a Georgia immigration detention center. Back in June,
Judge Lisa Godby Would ruled that doctor Mahendra Amen's defamation
suit against NBC Universal could proceed to trial. The judge says,
(33:12):
multiple statements are verifiably false. The undisputed evidence has established
that one, there re no mass his directomies. Two, Doctor
Amen performed only two his directomies on female detainees from ICDC.
In three, doctor Amen is not a uterist collector. All
things that they said about him viewed in this entirety.
The September fifteenth, twenty twenty episodes of Deadline, White House,
(33:36):
All In with Chris Hayes and The Rachel Maddow Show
accused the plaintiff of performing masses direct to mees undetained women.
He says, none of this happened. So we're talking about
Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Nicole Wallace, not to mention the
layers and layers of legendary fact checkers that the Capitol
Ja journalists in NBC News employee. Look at that, y'all.
(33:58):
September fifteenth, twenty twenty, This lie was fabricated out of
whole cloth by NBC News to interfere in a presidential
election that was only weeks away. Early voting had already begun.
This crap network knew exactly what they were doing, and
none of these so called compassionate leftists gave a tinker's
(34:19):
damn about this doctor or his name, or his character,
his reputation, or his career or the collateral damage. They
cared only about the presidential election. Interestingly enough, NBC News
very wisely chose to settle, so they wrote a big
giant check, a big giant, humongous check. Good for doctor Amen.
(34:42):
I guess thirty million dollars. Wow. Every decent American should
cheer on this news. The reckoning for fake news has
not only arrived in the form of Trump's overwhelming reelection victory.
But look at all the glorious happenings of late Jim Acosta,
Nora O'Donnell, Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Wallace or all
(35:02):
out the door. Joy Reid just lost her job. Can
we talk about that for a minute. Joy Reid is
kind of famous for being a homophobic Black democrat. Now
not today. She's not homophobic today. She's very much an
advocate for gay rights. But about twenty years ago, she
used to have a blog where she would write about
(35:23):
black people and how the black community didn't like black people.
MSNBC appears to be waging a war on people of
color with the acting of Joy Reid's primetime show, and
they're replacing her with primetime anchor Alex Wagner or Wagner
I don't know, I don't know the guy. Anyway. Reid
is not losing her show because she's a documented homophobe
(35:44):
or a liar, not because she's a divisive racist or
she's prone to conspiracy theories like telling people Trump's gonna
round you up and put you in camps. No, she's
been fired because her ratings suck so basic meritocracy here.
Since Trump won his reelection back in November, Fox News
has surged in viewership, CNN MSNBC not so much. Their
(36:08):
audience appears to be disappearing. After being assured and reassured
for a decade. The Trump's destruction was just a segment
or two away. Demoralized CNN and MSNBC viewers, who I
would call suckers apparently got tired of being lied to. Currently,
more Democrats watch Fox News than MSNBC or CNN, according
(36:30):
to the latest research on this topic. The most recent
ratings for Joy reads The Readout or dismal hundreds of
thousands of viewers. More people listen to The Walton and
Johnson Show in a week than watch that during primetime
viewing hours. To put that in perspective, The New York
Times reports that the final episode of The Readout will
(36:51):
air this week, so I guess she's still technically on
the air. MSNBC is planning to replace her with a
trio of anchors. Also out is Alex Wagner. Oh, I'm sorry,
I thought. I guess I misread that report. I thought
they were keeping him. Alex Wagner will be replaced by
the whitest person on TV, Jen Psasi. Wow, that's incredible.
(37:15):
Rachel Manow returned to working five nights a week, which
is why we have seen a lot less of Mark
Cuban lately. And Will Has anyone ever seen the two
of them in the same place at the same time?
Are those two different people? Let's look at the tally,
shall we gone recently? Jim Acosta, Nora O'Donnell, Chuck Todd,
Andrea Mitchell, Chris Wallace, now Joy Reid and Alex The
(37:37):
reckoning just continues. Guys that with the six thousand IRS
agents that just been fired. I don't celebrate anyone losing
their job generally, but I will tell you that this
isn't bad for America.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Trump wasted very little time celebrating the cancelation after she
spread racial hate and dangerously false narratives and bizarre conspiracy theories.
She's lost her job and along comes Donald Trump, he said,
low life. Chairman of Concast, that's hilarious. Concast Brian Roberts,
the owner of Ratings Challenged, NBC and ms DNC, has
(38:12):
finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the
least talented people in TV and mentally obnoxious racist joyread
based on her ratings, which were virtually non existent, she
should have been canned long ago. Trump also used the
opportunity to rip on Rachel Maddow, called her show failing
as well. After referring the week on MSNBC anchor Al
(38:34):
Sharpton as a low IQ con man, Trump accurately described
MSNBC as quote nothing more than an illegal arm of
the Democrat Party. Another show no one will watch will
replace Joyreid. Nothing will change. They keep putting shows on
the air that aren't popular, and then the most predictable
(38:56):
thing happens. MSNBC is the WNBA of cable news networks.
It is subsidized by the NBC network, Comcast itself. The
fact that that you pay the same company for internet
connection that is paying these people. Most of you probably
have Comcast or AT and T. If you have the former,
(39:17):
the prior, not the latter, then odds are you're paying
You were paying Joy Reid's salary. Well, the good news
is you won't have to pay it anymore. Before we
get out of here. I always like a little bit
of good news. Do you guys like good news? A
guy in Pennsylvania named Sean Moyer just got a new
kidney courtesy of his prom date from thirty five years ago,
Elena Hershey. They weren't a match, but she signed up
(39:39):
for a kidney exchange, so Hers went to someone else
and Sean got a new one too. Here's Sean and
Elena telling their amazing story.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I heard that Sewn was looking for a kidney.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
Elena actually called me.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
I already planned on donating anonymously. I was glad I
heard about that so that I could contact him and
offer him my kids.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Which is a remarkable thing since I knew Elena from
thirty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
She was my prom day.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Yes, she was a remarkably nice person that she was
pretty and she was smart. I got a colt and
they said that a kidney has become available and it
was a very good match.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
That is a beautiful story, isn't it. I think it is.
Be nice to your neighbors, donate your charity, go to church,
watch out for those who have less than you, and
pray to God every day and thank him for this opportunity.
I'm Kenny Webster. I love you all. Thank you for listening.
Don't forget if you have a chance today, go to
ILOVEWJ dot com. We just added even more new Doje merchandise.
It's hilarious, it's funny, it'll look cool when you wear
(40:43):
it to a work or family function, and then you'll
save money on holiday presents later this year, as the
people that are offended by it will probably cut you
out of their life, which you know is probably for
the best. Have a great day. We'll be back bright
and early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought
a radio for.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Tell the government to kiss you're ass when you listen
to the show.
Giganic government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. A suit of
happiness on your radio to al just as Cheezburger is
libery rise at.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Over the weekend, Elon Musk attended Seapack where he waived
a chainsaw and talked about cutting costs. And I'm sure
you already realize what this means. The chainsaw is pregnant. Hi,
welcome to the show. We're gonna talk about Elon Musk
to start the show, but before we do, at the
bottom of the hour, my guess will be April Aguire.
April Guire is on a task force for Governor Abbott
(00:43):
to deal with, well, among other things, corruption in the
judicial system here in the state of Texas, as well
as calling out bad laws involving illegal immigration. We'll get
to all of that stick around that's coming up in
just a little bit. Before we get to it, let's
start with Elon And in fact, why don't we start
with Robert Democrat Representative Robert Garcia. He's a California lawmaker
(01:05):
and according to a report today from John Nolty, he
received a letter from the Department of Justice and what
they did was they asked him to clarify comments he
made last week about quote bringing actual weapons to stop
DOGE supervisor Elon Musk. I know this is shocking, but
liberals often think they're allowed to joke about killing people
(01:27):
or hurting people, or naming people. I mean, they'll accuse
us of violence just for suggesting that trans men shouldn't
be able to compete with little girls in sports. But
they'll actually vividly describe violently attacking people, and they immediately think,
what I was just kidding? What's the big deal. There's
a woman running for Congress right now against Dan Crenshaw.
(01:49):
I don't like Dan Crenshaw. I've said this many times,
but this woman, whose name is Ava Zlori, calls herself
Chrissy Ann on social media. It's not a real name,
and as inauthentic as she is. One of the reasons
why I often wonder if she's secretly a liberal is
because she did the exact thing I just described on
social media. Somebody on social media asked her who's ass
(02:13):
they should kick, and she told them they should kick
my ass. Because as a broadcast journalist, I asked why
she uses a fake name Why does she have a
California area code? Why does it appear that she lives
outside of her district? She told someone on social media
they should violently attack me. Those were her own words.
You know, there's the screenshots to prove it, and that's fine.
(02:34):
I don't care that. You know, liberals are like that.
We expect that from them anyway. This isn't about her.
It's about this guy, Representative Robert Garcia. Much like Dan
Crenshaw's weird mysterious ghost opponent, he made comments about being violent.
Back on February twelfth, he appeared on CNN Cien I
(02:55):
can't believe CNN still exists. The far left propaganda outlet
frequently famentsolence against Trump and his supporters, and after repeating
his claim that Elon Musk was the D word, you know,
Vice President Cheney, he then said the following. He said, quote,
and I think that Musk's also harming the American public
in an enormous way. And what I think is really important,
(03:17):
and what the American public wants is for us to
bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an
actual fight for democracy. End quote. I have a SoundBite
of him saying it, but I won't make you listen
to it because I just told you what it says.
It's eliminationist rhetoric, and it's par for the course on CNN.
But unfortunately for these people, Donald Trump is now in
(03:40):
charge of the government. So Trump's Department of Justice has
decided that threatening public officials is no longer acceptable. Edward Martin,
the US attorney for Washington d C, wrote to Garcia
a few days later and said, at this time, I
respectfully request that you clarify your comments from February twelfth,
twenty twenty five, during a live interview view with CNN,
(04:02):
when asked how Democrats can stop Elon Musk, you spoke
quite clearly. The letter then directly quotes Garcia's threat of
actual weapons, which was what I just read to you.
Sounds like a threat to mister Musk. Elon is an
appointed representative of Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the President
of the United States. We the people put him in
(04:23):
that department. By threatening members of its administration, you are
either directly or indirectly, I would say, directly threatening the
people of America. And thank god, the DOJ takes threats
against the public officials quite seriously. Naturally, Garcia just laughed
it off. He said, so, if you criticize Elon Musk,
(04:44):
Trump's DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress
must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump administration,
he says. He says he will not be silenced. Guys,
every decent person wants everyone uoting jackass congressman to have
the right to forcefully oppose anyone. That's how America is
(05:05):
supposed to work. But when you call for actual weapons
for an actual fight, you're making a different statement, aren't you.
That crosses a line, especially after two close call assassination
attempts on Donald Trump that were undoubtedly inspired by this
kind of rhetoric. This type of violent rhetoric must be
strangled in the crib, regardless of which side is guilty.
(05:27):
And just so we're clear, I do mean figuratively. Unfortunately,
we now live in a country where the left can
threaten anyone on the right and even get violent with
anyone on the right, and the regime media outlets like
CNN will either ignore it or justify it. We've known
this for a while, remember MSNBC reporting on the riots
back in the Summer of Love twenty twenty, calling them
(05:48):
mostly peaceful. In an environment where the social control of
the dominant media sides with calls for violent from the
political left, a warning letter from the Justice Department is warranted.
There's a new found acceptance of political violence on the left,
and the legacy media has embraced it. It needs to
(06:10):
be nipped in the bud at every opportunity. Frankly, it's
crazy how it got so bad. Unfortunately, the people in
charge right now are putting a stop to it now.
With all that being said, the Pentagon and DOGE are
talking about cutting a lot of waste right now, and
thank god they are, because when you look at the
(06:33):
things that are showing up in these reports, it is
baffling how much money got pissed away by the previous administration.
New York Post reporting today on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth just made a big announcement. His plan this week
is to move up to fifty billion dollars of the
Pentagon's budget from quote, low impact and low priority programs
(06:55):
to ones that align with Trump's defense strategy. That's an
excellent first step to get the department ready for the
threats of America faces from China, Russia and all of
our other adversaries. But not even cutting every last DEI program,
every last burdens some administrative process, it all needs to
yield anywhere close to fifty billion. The only way to
(07:17):
find that kind of money is to cut weapons programs
that no longer meet America's needs. And the first item
on the chopping block should be the long range standoff missile.
It costs sixteen billion dollars over the next ten years.
The Long Range standing what they call it an lrso
that's what they refer to. It is a nuclear capable
(07:38):
air launched cruise missile intended to be carried by bombers
like the B fifty two or the B two or
the B twenty one. Now, the US nuclear arsenal includes
a tryad of air land sea weapons. This would be
an air component, but we no longer need air based
nuclear weapons. We don't need them at all. The bedrock
of our nuclear arsenal is the land based arm of
(08:00):
the triod, including intercontinental ballistic missiles. They would deliver a
massive retaliatory blow if we detect an inbound Chinese or
Russian first strike. To put it plumbing at sixteen billion,
dollars we don't need to spend. Congress has plans to
add up to one hundred and fifty billion dollars over
the next ten years to our defense spending. But to
(08:23):
get defense spending up to three point four percent of
the GDP the level at which Trump left it at
at the end of his first term, will need to
add at least thirty billion to forty billion more each
year to Congress's planned layout. Killing the LRSO is just
one of the first steps. Is it exciting? Is it,
you know, salacious and sexy and no? In fact, just
(08:43):
explaining it out loud is confusing and boring and tedious.
But it still matters.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I'm not a fan of the government doing anything.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
This is the pursuit of happiness. Radio on kprc Am
nine to fifty. Right, we're back from breg and we've
got to get to what is going on right now
with Bongino and Cash Paatel. Dan Bongino and Cash Pattel
are now in charge of the FBI. Cash Pattel is
(09:12):
a Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theorist. I'm not criticizing him for that.
I am too, and Dan Bongino, as a lot of
you know is a talk radio show host. Now, to
be clear, Dan Bongino's resume has a little more on
it than that he was formerly a member of the
Secret Service, so he does have a little experience being
a government law enforcement agent. Good for him, you know,
(09:32):
I assume he qualifies. I think he's qualified for the job.
Although it is interesting to think. We were just talking
about Pete hag Seth, the Department of the Pentagon Secretary
in the last break and in the last segment, and
now we're talking about Dan Bongino, a talk radio show
host turned Well, he's a government agent turned talk radio
show host turned Secret Service agent. No turned FBI deputy director.
(09:56):
What do Dan Bongino and Pete hag Seth have in common?
Them is a talk show host and the others a
talk show host, and I'm a talk show host. Now,
I think those guys are probably more than qualified to
do the job. I assume they probably are, but I
don't actually personally know them. I do know that me,
a talk show host, is probably not qualified to do
(10:16):
those jobs. So it does make me a little suspicious
about them. But before we get to any of that,
someone keeps calling me on the phone. Here hang on,
I'm gonna answer this real quick. Hold on KPRC. Who's this?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Oh? Yes, my name is Larry Elliott. I was calling
them about my class. My high school class is having
their fifty year reunion. I didn't know. I came out
of the y'all's office on sixteen and did they give
me your name and number or so forth? And I
was gonna see it. Is there any way y'all can
ever say anything about the class of Smile in high
(10:48):
schools having their fifty year reunion on the twenty sixth
and twenty seventh of April, And y'all, I can give
you all a number that you can touch with the
person that's over.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It you want to talk about it on the radio.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, I didn't know if you'll do that or not.
Just mentioned that the Smiley Smiley High School is having
their fifty year reunion on the twenty sixth, and that's
the twenty fifth and twenty sixth of April, and they
can call La Lunsford and she'll give them all the facts. Well,
if you'll do.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
That, Well, this is a conservative talk radio station. Do
you think that your classmates are conservatives or liberals?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We're about as conservative as you can get. Trump is
on our wall, if you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
All right, what's your name? What's your first name? Brother?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
My name is. My name is Larry Elliott. Last name
is Elliott E L l out.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Okay, and you're okay with us having that on the radio.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
The our reunion. You come out all.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The things you just said. You're on the radio right now, sir.
We're telling the audience that's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Hi there anyway, But no, but I told them I
would put it in a a note to y'all that
y'all could advertise to the reunion has come up on
the twenty fifth and twenty sixth of April.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Well, well we just did it, Larry that you know,
congratulations to the class for surviving this long if they're
still alive, you know, like Monty Python said, I am
not dead yet. I can laugh and I can sing,
so congratulations.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's right. That's right, that's right. Well, anyway, if y'all
would say something about that, that'd be great.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We just did. We just did it, Larry.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That sounds great, Thank you, Silver and I appreciate it.
Is there any way that that y'all can? I mean,
do I need to call a different times, so therefore
you will be to send more than just once.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I got to be honest with you, Larry, I don't
think we're going to devote more airtime to this than
what we already just devote. Yeah. No, I know this
is important to you, but it's not generally the primary
focus of the radio station. I mean, if you wanted
to buy airtime, we charge for that. Did you did
you have a budget for this?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, we don't. Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So you're a conservative. You just want us to give
you guys free advertising. I mean sounds kind of liberal
to me, Larry.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
You know I don't want to get into politics. You know,
I'm an American, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Is this is literally a This is literally a political
talk station. Sir.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Okay, that's super thank you so very much for your time.
But I'll remember just what you said. Thank you, sir, Larry.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
We aren't we support you. We just were devoting airtime
to it. Right now, We've spent three minutes on this already.
He hung up on me. Well, that was rude. This
is rock and roll radio.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Come on it, rock and roll with the remote.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Just hours after being sworn in as the new FBI director.
Town Hall dot Com reports Cash Bettel has been appointed
to be the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms,
and Explosives. This move comes as a part of a
broader reshuffling within the law enforcement, and Patel is expected
to bring his strong background in counter terrorism and nationalist
(14:05):
security to this new role. Is that interesting, So he's
head of the FBI and he's head of the ATF.
That is fascinating. The ATF's growing focus on combating violent
crime and illegal firearms trafficking makes Patel's leadership pivotal in
shaping the agency's future direction. According to the Trump administration,
and according to several sources, Trump is expected to name
(14:28):
Patel as the acting director of the ATF. He would
replace Marvin Richardson, the agency's current acting director. Last week,
Attorney General Pambonni dismissed the ATF General Counsel Pamela hicks Aw.
Bye bye, Pamela. She served as chief counsel since twenty
twenty one under the Biden administration. So I'm sure you
know how great she must have been if you don't
(14:50):
know anything about her. Obviously, Patel being put in charge
of the ATF means he's responsible for regulating things like
firearm sales and restrictions registrations among Americans. We've noticed that
the ATF and certain banking institutes around America have really
been over backwards to violate your rights over the past
(15:11):
few years, especially since January sixth. There's so many news
stories about that. This will presumably return some normalcy to
Americans who care about their Second Amendment rights. It's a
fascinating thing.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Patel barely made it on Friday to be put in
charge of the FBI fifty one to forty nine. It's
a close call, kids. Anyway, we got them. Interestingly enough,
The deputy director of the FBI just as controversial, just
as interesting. Sunday night, Trump announced former NYPD officer and
(15:50):
Secret Service agent Dan Bongino will serve as deputy FBI
director under Cash Battel. This is great news for law enforcement.
It's great news for American just Bongino is obviously qualified.
I mean I think he is. You do wonder why
he wanted to give up his job as a talk
show host. I don't think this pays more, but maybe
(16:11):
he didn't need the money. I don't know Bongino is
weighing in on his new position, saying it's time to
get to work. He says, quote, I've spent my life
in public service, beginning with the NYPD and continuing through
my time as Secret Service Agent, working under both Republican
and Democrat administrations. He says he's witnessed firsthand the dedication,
(16:32):
the sacrifice of men and women in these agencies who
serve with integrity and honor. It's a very awesome thing,
a beautiful moment here for America, and boy do we
need him. We need good people in law enforcement now
more than ever because even though we've got the FBI,
we finally control the federal government. One thing we don't
(16:54):
control is the big cities. I'm from Chicago, Illinois. Illegal
immigrants have poured into that city. They have an exceptionally
unpopular mayor, a loud advocate on behalf of unlawful migration,
pro criminal progressivism, they call it. We're going to talk
about that a bit in the next segment with April Liguire.
(17:17):
She's stopping by. She's a victim's rights advocate. You may
have heard of her before as being the spokesperson for
Joshua and Nungries family. But there's a real toxic combination
in big cities like Houston or Chicago that's resulted in
quite a lot of crime and really controversial allocations of resources.
It stirred a lot of public anger, you could see why.
(17:40):
So now the newly enacted Lake and Riley Act very
slowly starting to address the problem on a limited, piecemeal basis,
but the underlying issue remains widespread and acute. So when
you hear what just happened in Chicago, you are going
to vomit. An illegal immigrant, a suspected member of Trende Arragua,
(18:04):
is out on probation, free to roam the streets of Chicago,
even though he's been charged with domestic batter even though
he's been charged with violent crimes, even though he's got
previous weapon charges in Cook County, that's Chicago, even though
he was ordered to be deported in twenty twenty two.
In twenty twenty two, Joe Biden was president, Yet somehow
he's stayed in the country. Now they've captured him again
(18:28):
and released him again, this time in Chicago. It is
inconceivable madness. This gang connected illegal immigrant has already been
ordered deported by a judge, already been arrested for additional crimes,
suspective of an involvement in a homicide, stands charged with
kidnapping sexual assault. Despite all of that, Chicago officials won't
(18:50):
play with the Feds. They won't play ball and get
this guy put back in jail and detained and punished
for a crime and then deported like you should be.
He's been gifted the very special protected privilege of being
a criminal alien. And as if that wasn't bad enough,
in spite of his rap sheet, city authorities aren't even
holding him behind bars as he waits trial for kidnapping
(19:14):
and sexual assault. Think about how insane that is. The
Chicago system is protecting a man, a monster, i would say,
from the deportation order already leveled against him, even after
he's allegedly committed numerous charged and suspected violent felonies, and
as they let him walk free awaiting his latest court proceeding.
They've told him to surrender his guns and keep his
(19:36):
distance from the victim. And I'm sure he'll do it too. Right.
You trust him, don't you. This is Binney Sentus and
you are listening to the pursuit of happiness. Radio.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Now give me all of your money, because that's the
only thing that's fair.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
But but, but, but but bail reform. Bail reform means
something different now than what it used to mean. Did
you know that times change opinions of Once in a while,
words that have meant something for a while in political
discourse suddenly change their definition. I'll give you an obvious example,
and then I'll give you one that's a little more complicated.
(20:11):
An obvious example would be who is the establishment who
is the resistance? A year ago you could have said
Donald Trump was the anti establishment candidate. Now, although I'd
still consider him to be anti establishment considering the nuances
of the deep state, technically Trump is now the establishment.
You could understand why he's the president, after all, if
(20:33):
you considered yourself to be part of the resistance movement
a year ago. Now, if you were part of the
resistance movement, that would mean you were anti Trump, whereas
a year ago you were pro Trump. Today, the Republicans
control everything again. I know that's a little more complicated
when you think about what it means to be part
of the deep state and the fourth branch of government.
But I digress. Here's another term that recently changed its definition,
(20:56):
bail reform. For the past four or five years, maybe longer.
If you lived in Southeast Texas or really any big
city around America, when somebody talked about bail reform, odds
are they were probably talking about changing the policies so
dangerous criminals could get out of jail with little to
no bail. Well, the problem with the word reform is
(21:18):
it I mean, it's not a problem what it means
at its surface, right face value. Here, reform describes changing something.
So if that's been the policy for the past few years, now,
when you hear people talk about bail reform, they mean
the opposite. They mean not having policies that let criminals
out of jail with little to no bail. Get it,
(21:38):
you're smart, you understand. We have bail reform happening in
Texas right now. A lot of it has to do
with illegal immigrants, but some of it has to do
with certain violent offenders. In nearly unanimous votes, members of
the Texas Senate last week advanced legislation that would deny
bail to illegal aliens charged with felonies, as well as
certain violent offenders. The violent offenders aren't necessarily illegal immigrants,
(22:01):
but illegal immigrants are the big part of this laws.
It's inspired by Joscelyn's Law. You're familiar with Joscelyn Nungery,
I'm sure. Wednesday of last week, senators passed Senate Joint
Resolution IE, a policy by State Senator Joan Huffman. I
here in Houston, hear and I don't always agree on things,
but boy, we sure do agree on this. Joscelyn's Law
(22:23):
passed twenty nine to two. Two people were against this,
and then remarkable State Senator Juan Hinojosa of McAllen said
that for many years, judges across the state have been
setting bonds without having the proper inform information on the defendant,
and well, you get the point. Keep dangerous criminals in jail.
(22:44):
What a novel idea. That's amazing. It's not the only
idea floating around. Texas. Senators approved a constitutional amendment restricting
bail for human trafficking suspects. Look, whatever you think of
illegal immigrants or migrants, or whatever word you choose to
just describe them, I think it's an easy argument to
be made that a human trafficker is worse than when
(23:07):
Consuela moves into the country and tries to become a
cleaning lady. It's not the same thing right now. Granted,
we don't want people coming into the country illegally for
any reason, but I'm sure you would probably agree human
traffickers are right up there with rapists and murderers. It's
one of the worst things you can do. So bail
reform is happening, and it's not just happening because our
(23:27):
elected officials decided it needed to happen. It's happening because
of the hard work of grassroots activists. One of those
people has been a regular guest on this radio show,
somebody we would book from time to time who you
probably have heard of before. If you're from the Houston
area and you're concerned about criminal illegal aliens, odds, are
you know who April li Guire is. April used to
(23:49):
be a grassroots activist. Now she actually works in a
position assigned to her by the government to deal with
the kind of topics were discussed right now, April, what
is your official job title now?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
According to Governor Abbott, I am a commissioner for the
States and I oversee in plain terms, the punishment of
bad rogue judges.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Now, you used to be somebody who would show up
at press conferences doing victims rights, you know, speaking on
behalf of the family of the victim of a serious
violent crime, and a lot of elected officials did not
want you to speak in public. But that's really changed,
hasn't it.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Wow, they like it or not, we're not going anywhere.
When my niece was murdered, we didn't really know how
to navigate the system, and we learned early on how
to by force. And we didn't want every victim coming forward,
especially parents of murdered children, to have to start from zero.
So we take them by the hand and help them
(24:52):
every step of the way. And we're hoping to make
a bunch of different versions of what we are doing
so that we can put pressure on the system. So,
for example, Jocelyn unger AD's mom, Alexis, we empowered her
to help her go forward, you know, and she also
reached national levels versus grieving in silence.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah. Look, I think this is such an obvious argument
to be made. Why would we want dangerous criminal illegal
immigrants to be walking around on the streets of Houston
or anywhere else in America if we know that they're
dangerous criminal illegal immigrants. But I mean it's true of anyone,
but particularly those are the violent history. Why would anyone
(25:32):
give resistance to this April.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
That's a great question that I don't understand. The defense
attorney for Jocelyn hunger Age murderers that said, oh, he's
a father, he is, he's just a hard worker. I said, well,
you know what, why don't you take him home? I
hear he's great with kids. You know, these people that
stand up for these criminals don't want these criminals in
(25:56):
their neighborhoods or near their children, but they're fine sent
them back out to low income communities where they came from.
So they continue to cause harm to low income citizens.
So you really have to pick a side. Who are
you for? Are you for low income minority citizens that
are law abiding or are you for the criminal aspect
of the low income community, which is a very small percentage.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, So let's talk a little bit about bail reform
in the Texas legislature. This seems like it's moving in
the right direction. We can always count on the Senate,
Can we always count on the State House?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Absolutely? Not so there is this what a portion of
this Bell reform has been attempted to be passed for
This is the third legislative session. Okay, it keeps getting
shut down. Basically, it's very common sense giving judges the
ability to deny bail to violent offenders despite how much
(26:50):
money they do or do not have, or their rates.
It seems very simple. So for example, going back to
Jocelyn Hungary's case, because it's a very well known case,
the judge was compelled had to give a bill, so
he gave him a ten million dollar bill each the
u of H rapist, they had to give him a bail,
(27:12):
they gave him fifty million. Of course they cannot make
that percentage of bail right, but what if they could.
Theoretically speaking, judges need to have the ability to deny
bail to violent offenders, and they don't have that ability
right now.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
The UAH rapist story is crazy. They had this guy
in custody. I mean, look, it's just a photo. But
in the photo he looks menacing and dangerous, and yet
they actually released him after they detained him, didn't they.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
They did, And it's because he got the special privileged
package there at the courthouse, which is homeless and African
American and low income, so he gets special treatment, and
I am tired of the special treatment at the courthouse.
Don't think. I don't not believe that your financial position
as this planet should make your crime less than what
(28:05):
it is. We should look at the severity of the
crime and public risk above all.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I mean, that's exactly right. Often is the case that
people committing violent crimes are in a situation that forced
them and their opinion to commit call violent crimes. They're
they're down and out, financially, mentally unstable, homeless. What is
the point of jail if not to protect the innocent
from the dangerous? Because jail is certainly not a place
(28:31):
where people get rehabilitation. The recidivism rate in this country
proves that.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But you know what what jail does do it it
keeps people away from causing harm to others. So they say, oh,
the jails are full of minority of minority and low
income people. Yeah, but let's talk about the low income
minority people that are they are not harming because they
are put away. I don't don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I don't understand this race quota inter resting thing. It's like, Okay,
we've got too many blacks and browns in jail. We've
got a fair amount of lights or Latinos, but not
enough Asians. Using that same argument, shouldn't every time an
Asian person vaguely gets accused of a crime, shouldn't they
get the worst punishment If the black person, for example,
(29:21):
gets the lightest punishment. I mean, people would be furious
if it went the other way for obvious reasons. So
why is this okay?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It's wrong. And I don't believe anybody should be getting
special privileged because they are low income. Period. I think
that the severity of the crime needs to be. What
I've seen in the public risk assessment needs to be done.
This individual attacked a complete stranger and broad daylight in
a parking garage at nice point and raped her. If
(29:53):
that doesn't speak public safety risk, I don't know what
that is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
April. You are a very beautiful and intelligent young woman,
happily married, I might point out to our listeners, and
you you and your husband have children. How many kids
do you have?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
We have five kids, and so as a.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Mom in this city, when you see the direction things
are moving in. I mean that you put away your
official position in the state government, your activism, had all
those things. I got to think this is just infuriating
for someone like you to know you live in a
society that is becoming less and less safe every day
because of systematic purposes that are certainly.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Preventable, absolutely, and that there's zero consequences. So a little
fun fact, my parents migrated here from Mexico because things
were so bad, because they couldn't be their house at
certain hours, because they had to pay a fee weekly
to keep them safe in the same cartails that operated
in that area, right, and they knew what the rate
(30:50):
is for rapes and murders and missing children of women
and young women and little girls in Mexico. So that
was one of the factors of why we left to
this country. So when you don't have consequences, then we're
just going to be come to go two point Oh.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, well said you know, you're doing awesome work. April.
You can find April on social media. She's on X
of course, April like you at X. If people want
to find out more about the work you're doing, what
can they do?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Follow me on Twitter? We're always posting things that we
can do and dates on when we can go before
the House and testify. If anybody has been affected or
is highly opposing this bond the way things are right now,
this climate, please come out and testify at the House.
We should have dates this week and we got to
give them hell. And the public needs to come forward
(31:37):
because if they don't, the narrative continues.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
April, You're doing God's work. I am so proud to
be your friend. Thank you so much for giving us
some time this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Thank you, Kenny faith He love America.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Here the government listen live. Listen now, dude, proceed of
Happiness Radio. It's kind of Webster junior producer, Kenny. Before
we get out of here, let's talk about what's going
on in the media. Now. For those of you that
don't care about who has a job in the media,
who doesn't, I understand, but pay attention anyway, because this
(32:10):
does affect you. What goes on in the media certainly
impacts the lives of regular Americans because people absorb this
information and react to it. Crap goes in, crap goes out.
It's just like your diet. NBC News may be a
dying institution, but it's still pretty important on its surface.
(32:30):
Breitbart dot Com today reporting on I think three separate
stories involving NBC News each equally fascinating, but when crammed together,
they make up a very complicated and accurate depiction of
what's going on with legacy media far left. NBC News
settled a thirty million dollar defamation case filed after its
(32:50):
MSNBC All Star team falsely accused a doctor of performing
mass hysterectomies at a Georgia immigration detention center. Back in June,
Judge Lisa Godby Would ruled that doctor Mahendra Amen's defamation
suit against NBC Universal could proceed to trial. The judge says,
(33:12):
multiple statements are verifiably false. The undisputed evidence has established
that one, there re no mass his directomies. Two, Doctor
Amen performed only two his directomies on female detainees from ICDC.
In three, doctor Amen is not a uterist collector. All
things that they said about him viewed in this entirety.
The September fifteenth, twenty twenty episodes of Deadline, White House,
(33:36):
All In with Chris Hayes and The Rachel Maddow Show
accused the plaintiff of performing masses direct to mees undetained women.
He says, none of this happened. So we're talking about
Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Nicole Wallace, not to mention the
layers and layers of legendary fact checkers that the Capitol
Ja journalists in NBC News employee. Look at that, y'all.
(33:58):
September fifteenth, twenty twenty, This lie was fabricated out of
whole cloth by NBC News to interfere in a presidential
election that was only weeks away. Early voting had already begun.
This crap network knew exactly what they were doing, and
none of these so called compassionate leftists gave a tinker's
(34:19):
damn about this doctor or his name, or his character,
his reputation, or his career or the collateral damage. They
cared only about the presidential election. Interestingly enough, NBC News
very wisely chose to settle, so they wrote a big
giant check, a big giant, humongous check. Good for doctor Amen.
(34:42):
I guess thirty million dollars. Wow. Every decent American should
cheer on this news. The reckoning for fake news has
not only arrived in the form of Trump's overwhelming reelection victory.
But look at all the glorious happenings of late Jim Acosta,
Nora O'Donnell, Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Wallace or all
(35:02):
out the door. Joy Reid just lost her job. Can
we talk about that for a minute. Joy Reid is
kind of famous for being a homophobic Black democrat. Now
not today. She's not homophobic today. She's very much an
advocate for gay rights. But about twenty years ago, she
used to have a blog where she would write about
(35:23):
black people and how the black community didn't like black people.
MSNBC appears to be waging a war on people of
color with the acting of Joy Reid's primetime show, and
they're replacing her with primetime anchor Alex Wagner or Wagner
I don't know, I don't know the guy. Anyway. Reid
is not losing her show because she's a documented homophobe
(35:44):
or a liar, not because she's a divisive racist or
she's prone to conspiracy theories like telling people Trump's gonna
round you up and put you in camps. No, she's
been fired because her ratings suck so basic meritocracy here.
Since Trump won his reelection back in November, Fox News
has surged in viewership, CNN MSNBC not so much. Their
(36:08):
audience appears to be disappearing. After being assured and reassured
for a decade. The Trump's destruction was just a segment
or two away. Demoralized CNN and MSNBC viewers, who I
would call suckers apparently got tired of being lied to. Currently,
more Democrats watch Fox News than MSNBC or CNN, according
(36:30):
to the latest research on this topic. The most recent
ratings for Joy reads The Readout or dismal hundreds of
thousands of viewers. More people listen to The Walton and
Johnson Show in a week than watch that during primetime
viewing hours. To put that in perspective, The New York
Times reports that the final episode of The Readout will
(36:51):
air this week, so I guess she's still technically on
the air. MSNBC is planning to replace her with a
trio of anchors. Also out is Alex Wagner. Oh, I'm sorry,
I thought. I guess I misread that report. I thought
they were keeping him. Alex Wagner will be replaced by
the whitest person on TV, Jen Psasi. Wow, that's incredible.
(37:15):
Rachel Manow returned to working five nights a week, which
is why we have seen a lot less of Mark
Cuban lately. And Will Has anyone ever seen the two
of them in the same place at the same time?
Are those two different people? Let's look at the tally,
shall we gone recently? Jim Acosta, Nora O'Donnell, Chuck Todd,
Andrea Mitchell, Chris Wallace, now Joy Reid and Alex The
(37:37):
reckoning just continues. Guys that with the six thousand IRS
agents that just been fired. I don't celebrate anyone losing
their job generally, but I will tell you that this
isn't bad for America.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Trump wasted very little time celebrating the cancelation after she
spread racial hate and dangerously false narratives and bizarre conspiracy theories.
She's lost her job and along comes Donald Trump, he said,
low life. Chairman of Concast, that's hilarious. Concast Brian Roberts,
the owner of Ratings Challenged, NBC and ms DNC, has
(38:12):
finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the
least talented people in TV and mentally obnoxious racist joyread
based on her ratings, which were virtually non existent, she
should have been canned long ago. Trump also used the
opportunity to rip on Rachel Maddow, called her show failing
as well. After referring the week on MSNBC anchor Al
(38:34):
Sharpton as a low IQ con man, Trump accurately described
MSNBC as quote nothing more than an illegal arm of
the Democrat Party. Another show no one will watch will
replace Joyreid. Nothing will change. They keep putting shows on
the air that aren't popular, and then the most predictable
(38:56):
thing happens. MSNBC is the WNBA of cable news networks.
It is subsidized by the NBC network, Comcast itself. The
fact that that you pay the same company for internet
connection that is paying these people. Most of you probably
have Comcast or AT and T. If you have the former,
(39:17):
the prior, not the latter, then odds are you're paying
You were paying Joy Reid's salary. Well, the good news
is you won't have to pay it anymore. Before we
get out of here. I always like a little bit
of good news. Do you guys like good news? A
guy in Pennsylvania named Sean Moyer just got a new
kidney courtesy of his prom date from thirty five years ago,
Elena Hershey. They weren't a match, but she signed up
(39:39):
for a kidney exchange, so Hers went to someone else
and Sean got a new one too. Here's Sean and
Elena telling their amazing story.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I heard that Sewn was looking for a kidney.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
Elena actually called me.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
I already planned on donating anonymously. I was glad I
heard about that so that I could contact him and
offer him my kids.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Which is a remarkable thing since I knew Elena from
thirty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
She was my prom day.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Yes, she was a remarkably nice person that she was
pretty and she was smart. I got a colt and
they said that a kidney has become available and it
was a very good match.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
That is a beautiful story, isn't it. I think it is.
Be nice to your neighbors, donate your charity, go to church,
watch out for those who have less than you, and
pray to God every day and thank him for this opportunity.
I'm Kenny Webster. I love you all. Thank you for listening.
Don't forget if you have a chance today, go to
ILOVEWJ dot com. We just added even more new Doje merchandise.
It's hilarious, it's funny, it'll look cool when you wear
(40:43):
it to a work or family function, and then you'll
save money on holiday presents later this year, as the
people that are offended by it will probably cut you
out of their life, which you know is probably for
the best. Have a great day. We'll be back bright
and early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought
a radio for.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Tell the government to kiss you're ass when you listen
to the show.
