Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is
d US. Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Of
a suit of happiness US on your radio toil just
as cheeseburgers a liberty fries at food.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
April April is Stress Awareness Month.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We need stress awareness month.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Apparently experts think a good way to reduce stress is
by taking up gardening, and they're right. It's therapeutic and
you can actually save a lot of money by growing
your own marijuana. So consider doing that. Hi, everybody, Kenny Webster,
Welcome to the show this afternoon. Daniel Turner's stopping by
from Power of the Future. He's an oil and gas
(00:45):
guy and there's a lawsuit happening right now in Louisiana.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I know there's going to sound.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Like hyperbolee, sensationalism, exaggeration, but it's not. It's a three
billion dollar lawsuit that could actually destroy the oil and
gas industry in the Cajun States. So we is gonna
explain it to you and why it matters and why
we might need Governor Landry to step in and do
something stick around.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Plus, Tony Ortiz is here from Current Revolt dot com.
That's a news website that covers information specifically pertaining to
politics in Texas. And last week there was a violent
school fight video that went viral on social media depicting
a white kid getting the snock kicked out of him
by a black kid. As you're watching the video, it
(01:28):
actually looks like his teeth are flying out of his face.
It is hard to watch, and weirdly no charges pressed.
They're actually making it political. There are people, they are
public officials and publicly funded employees who actually are suggesting
it's the white kid's fault because he said something racist. Now,
I don't know if any of that's true. We're going
to try to get to the bottom of it. Stick around.
(01:49):
Before we get to any of that, let's play a
little game. It's called new White House, Old White House,
New White House Old? What the difference between transparency in
the new White House versus the Old White House? And
perfectly displayed today at town hall dot com. Trump's administration
created the Department of Government Efficiency, brand new agency guided
(02:10):
by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk. The whole point
was to expose corruption and waste and mismanagement in our government.
Days after its creation, DOGE found the US Agency for
International Development, otherwise known as USAID, is full of waste
and not really doing anything to benefit your life. So
(02:30):
he put it into the wood chipper, and predictably, a
very angry legal battle ensued, and late last week a
federal court appeal Appeels Court cleared the way for DOGE
to continue its efforts.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It said, no, this is legal.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So USAID has shamelessly spent taxpayer dollars on all these
woke initiatives all over the world. One of these projects
was a transgender clinic in India. Guess what That clinic
just shuttered its doors. Hiderbod that's where the location of
the clinic. The city had a place called Matier Clinic,
(03:04):
providing transgender care to about two hundred patients a month,
most of them at HIV, and you were paying for
them to get transgender procedures. Why, what's the point of
any of this. There was recently a report out of
Australia detailing how the leader of the country needed to
have an emergency meeting to figure out what to do
about all the funding they were going to lose from
(03:26):
the United States because of DOGE. Now Australia is a
developed country. I'm just curious, why did Australia need to
have an emergency meeting to figure out what to do
about us not giving them free money anymore? How much
money were we giving them? By the way, they say
it was money for universities there. Okay, so I'm funding
(03:47):
colleges in Australia. Why why can't they pay for their
own colleges? It really is time to cut funding some
of these useless organizations NPR, for example, pba US. Everyone
in politics claims to be against waste, fraud and abuse
until they find themselves in a position to do something
about it, and then, as Derrek Hunter recently put it,
(04:10):
they go radio silent. They talk a good game, but
that's it. Action in politics at least is a difficult
commodity to come by, isn't it? Isn't it odd? How
so many people get rich off taxpayer money. I bet
you aren't one of them. I know I'm not. But
people do cash flying out the doors and windows of
government agencies, and one of those places is NPR in PBS.
(04:33):
Last week we heard testimony from the CEOs of NPR
and PBS. Excuse me not CBS, but CEOs of NPR
and PBS that should have been the death of both organizations.
We pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to
multiple numerous talk show hosts on both of those networks,
both of those companies to do what I'm doing right now.
(04:57):
The difference being this radio show you're listening to right
now is privately funded. And oh, by the way, did
I mention while I may have a conservative libertarian perspective,
at PBS and NPR, you were paying the salaries of
people who were liberal, socialist, and communist and you pay
them several hundred thousand dollars a year. Now, I'm curious,
(05:18):
why is it your responsibility to pay the salary of
somebody whose job it is to go on the radio
or on TV and explain why Trump is evil? Does
that make any sense? Yeah, it's time for PBS and
NPR to go. And thank god, you know what I
didn't have time to get to in this segment stick
around after Daniel Turner stops by, we're going to talk
about the difference between transparency and the Trump administration versus
(05:40):
the Biden administration. We just did the Trump administration coming
up in a little bit transparency or should I say
lack thereof in the world of Joe Biden's White House.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
If I were you, I'd stay put Kenny, You'll be
right back with more of what you came for for jokes.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
A new study claims or organic food doesn't reduce the
risk of cancer. It does nothing, they say. The study
also found that white people will believe anything. Yeah, I'm
sure that's true. Apparently the study doesn't. You know, Okay,
organic food doesn't reduce the risk of cancer, but it
does increase the risk of you being an annoying hipster.
(06:19):
So there's something to think about. High we're back from break.
There was another study today that claimed actually tapwater could
be better for you than plastic bottled water. And I
think the point they were trying to make was about,
what was it like the microplastics in your ball sack.
I know it's weird to explain it like that, but
that's remember this. Everybody thought plastic bottle water was better
(06:39):
than tapwater right up until they found out about all
the microplastics in your testicles. And I don't know if
that's true. I do know that there's a lot of
irreparable damage done to Madonna's face from plastic could be
a connection between that could just be a coincidence, something
to think about.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I don't know, I don't know, I don't I.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Will tell you this, of all the problems I have,
microplastics in my testicles are the least of my concern.
In fact, at the end of the day, I think
most people listening to this radio show would probably be
an agreement that plastic is not bad. The plastic straw
stuff was a bunch of nonsense, right Remember that. Remember
when they told you plastic straws were bad, They're killing
sea turtles. Everybody used these paper straws, and then we
(07:19):
found out the paper straws were actually worse for your
health and the environment because they had something in them
called forever chemicals. Google that if you want to fall
into a pit of information, that'll probably make you beg
for a plastic straw the next time you order a coke.
And at the same time, I also wonder you know
there's a lot of this information being put out there
(07:39):
just to hurt the oil and gas industry, because chances
are it is right. Everybody knows the oil and gas
industry is a billion dollar industry that it's not a question.
That's not a surprise to anybody. But did you know
that the anti oil and gas industry is a billion
dollar industry?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
No? Boy, Yeah, everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
When you're watching cable news and you see the pundit
defending the energy industry and they're like, well, he's paid
to be there. Okay, do you think the other guy
on the screen debating him is not being paid to
be there? He might be getting paid more. Who pays
for Leonardo DiCaprio to fly in a private jet to
a climate change summit? You remember, not long ago we
learned they were going to tear down part of a
(08:18):
rainforest so they could have a climate convention. Louisiana's got
problems today. Foxnews dot Com today, reporting US energy interests,
warned that if the first of several expected lawsuits over
decades of land loss, an issue widely acknowledged as a crisis, succeeds,
it could threaten the future of the energy exploration. There's
(08:41):
a coastal jurisdiction south in the New Orleans area there.
I'm sure a lot of you guys know it. The
Grand Isle area over there, which could be called a
county in most other states. It's called a parish in Louisiana.
They're seeking billions of dollars in damages from Chevron over
allegations surrounding the behavior of the now subsidi Texaco. We're
(09:01):
getting a little deep in the weeds here, but what
this amounts to is simply that a three billion dollar
lawsuit apparently brought on during the Obama years, could actually
destroy the golf energy industry, according to a lot of
people in the oil and gas industry, the energy industry.
I'm not an expert on this, so I've reached out
to a friend of mine that understands it a little
bit better. Somebody that actually works in the energy sector,
(09:23):
somebody who's devoted as life to defending the American energy industry.
My good buddy on the line right now, Daniel Turner
from Powerthefuture dot com. Daniel, what the hell is going
on in Louisiana.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, this is a really important lawsuit that's still ongoing,
and the outcome is going to be very decisive because
it will scare off a lot of industry if it
goes the wrong way. And as you said, everyone knows
oil and gas has money, right, It's a multi trillion
dollar industry, and so they're an easy target to sue.
And so you make up these climate lawsuits. You make
(09:57):
up these you know there are they're causing seat change
rise lawsuits. And normally companies just settle and sue. I
was settle after the lawsuit, right, like, how much do
you want to go away? Okay, well, write you check,
leave us alone. But this is really the first time
that a company said no, no, no, we're not going to
get sued over a law from the nineteen eighties because
(10:18):
you all want some money because the parish, as you said,
the county needs money, right, so let's just sue somebody
and let's make up the reason. And so I applaud
this company for fighting back. But if they lose, and
there's a chance to lose, why would anyone operate in
Louisiana again, why would you ever operate anywhere when you
can go to neighboring Texas, which cleaned up its litigation.
(10:42):
You as a Texan would know that, but your audience
definitely does. Texas used to also have a lot of
settle and sue lawsuits, a lot of corrupt judges, a
lot of and Texas did a huge effort to clean
that up in the early nineties and two thousands, and
Texas is a different state because of it. Louisiana hasn't
cleaned up their act yet, and so these these lawsuits
(11:04):
are ongoing, and they're costly, and they're driving industry out
of the state. And so yeah, we're all watching this
because we're kind of hoping the governor, you know, steps
in a little bit. The governor's on the one hand,
trying to play I'm mister Maga, I'm Governor Maga. I
support the Trump energy agenda. But then in his home
state of Louisiana, where everyone's kind of friends with everybody,
(11:26):
including the trial lawyers, yep, he's just kind of keeping
his mouth shut and hoping it goes away. And it won't.
We need leadership, Kenny.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
All right out.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I want to be clear about something here. I like
Governor Jeff Landry. I think he's doing a good job.
I think he's one of the better governors in the
country right now. But he also governs a state that
is full of corruption. And that is a fact based
statement that could have been said anytime in the last
two centuries. It would still be true. We're talking about
a state that goes back to Napoleonic law without the
(11:55):
depth of their corruption. It goes not just decades, literally centuries.
Being said, there's a lot of nuances, there's a lot
of things we don't understand here. But I think the
thing that really upset people on the energy industry, it's
not the fact that Governor Landry's taking the wrong side here,
it's that he's not taking any side.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Is that what people are concerned about.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Absolutely, And this is a chance where the governor is
great and I've met with the governor and he has
an enormously difficult job in an enormously complicated state. Right,
Louisiana is a good old boys state, There's no doubt
about it. And unless your last name is Gidri or
Boudreau or Landry, you're not going to get anything done.
(12:34):
Everyone's interrelated, everyone's intermarried, right, They all have the same
Marti Groth floats. But this is where you really make
your name for yourself when it's time to be a
leader and step up, and being a leader is tough. Right.
I've said this before on your program and I'll say
it forever. The best thing that President Trump did for
the right is He taught them to fight, and he
(12:57):
made a lot of enemies on the right. Right, there
are good, good conservatives out there who despise President Trump
for the sole reason that he fights. They would rather
lose with elegance and dignity than win with bloody knuckles.
And Trump has said, no, I want to win, and
if I need to punch bad people to win, I
will do so. And that's why Trump has a base
(13:19):
of loyalists who will never leave him because he is
their leader and he fights for them. Governor Landry can
have the same thing. Governor Landry could be presidential material.
But this is where you start making a name for yourself.
And you're saying, these frivolous lawsuits that are scaring industry
out of Louisiana, they need to stop and we need
to fight. You know, just dirtbag lawyers who like to
(13:42):
sue because there's a lot of money in it. And
you know, you see the ads on TV, right, Kenny
Webster law firm, You don't pay unless you win this.
We can't run a country on lawsuits. And that's why
how Louisiana right now is operating.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, apparently these lawyers.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I don't know if you've heard about this, but a
lot of these lawyers are not good guys, Daniel, and.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
We need to keep the courts open for actual wrongdoing.
And if an oil and gas company has done something wrong,
by God, they should be held accountable. But the way
it operates now is you find a reason to sue
and you hope that they'll just set a out of
court and you pocket the check. Ask the citizens of
Louisiana how they are they getting all these royalties from
(14:29):
these billions of dollars in lawsuits that the industry goes
through every year. Right, are you seeing kickbacks?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Politicians are right, trial lawyers are who elected politicians and judges.
So a lot of people are making a lot of money,
but the industry isn't. I got to tell you, Louisiana,
Mardi Gras is not going to keep your state afloat
right right, New Orleans is great, but tourism is not
going to run your state. If you lose oil and gas,
and you are losing oil and gas. If you lose
(14:58):
oil and gas, your state is going to look more
and more like your neighboring states, and that will be
a tragedy. You know.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The only difference between a lawyer and a vulture is
that the vulture waits until you're dead before it starts
picking you apart. So to your point there, I think
this is concerning Daniel. You know, people that listen to
you and I opine and rant about some of these
problems affecting the energy industry around the Gulf of America
probably wonder what they can do about it.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
What could they do? Reach out to Landry, write them
a letter, I mean, what would you recommend?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yeah? Absolutely, I mean makes us say an issue you
know with your elected leader that your town halls on
the state level. Right, This is not a federal issue,
This is not President Trump involved. This is a Louisiana issue,
and you need to stand up for your state, right.
And Louisiana definitely has a lot of proud citizens, as
(15:48):
does Texas, as does virgin You where I am, but
the state is slowly dying because there's not an opportunity there,
and so you're going to move. Heck, you hear more
Cajun accents in Midland than you do in Louisiana because
the industry is moving out of the state to where
it's easier to operate. No one is winning that way.
Louisiana's future is not winning that way. So the best
(16:10):
thing that you can do is get involved at the
most local level and stand up for truth. This crap,
can he Let's just be blunt. This crap that these
islands in the Gulf of America are disappearing because of
sea level rise. Well, then how come the sea level
isn't rising in Galveston. It's not that far, right, how
come it's not rising in Alabama or Biloxi. It's not
(16:33):
that far. It's only rising in these islands, and it's
because the climate change. Well, by gosh, there must be
a hill of water somewhere, and I've never seen water
do that, But somehow there is a hill of water
around the Gulf of America at the Mississippi Delta that
only affects New Orleans. I mean, give me a break.
That's what a load of crap this all is.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
What are the lies that environmentals will tell you is
that because erosion exists, that's proof of the fact that
the sea levels arising. No islands move, tolls move like that,
land masses can move. It doesn't have anything to do
with the sea levels going up or down. Necessarily, it's
just movement of the cells of water. But I digress.
Daniel Turner. I think you've done a fantastic job of
(17:16):
explaining this news story. And if I didn't already do it,
I would follow you on x at Daniel Turner PTF
if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yes, that is it, and thank you. I appreciate the shoutout, Kenny,
And that was great to be on your program.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And PTF is the name of your boy's band, boy band?
You sing baritone?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I'm told.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
It is my boy. There's only me right, I have
a solo act right now.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
But it's good.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
You know it's good. You can dance to it.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
That's great. I can't wait to check out your new.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Album coming up more Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness a
safe space for those who love liberty and try not
to take themselves too seriously. Even if your name is Karen.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh, this is interesting. One of the lizard people just
spoke out publicly. Bill Gates has been in the news
a lot lately, not for the pandemic, although that was
his thing. He was all over the news talking about
vaccines for a while, and he was all over the
news talking about AI that's his latest thing. Bill Gates
(18:20):
says AI will replace most humans at the workplace. Now
the keyword here is humans, which means Bill Gates will
still have a job. He's going to be fine. Don't
worry about Oh you weren't worried about Bill Gates. Yeah,
I wasn't worried about him either. Bill Gates is one
of the reasons why Joe Biden got to be president.
Guys like Bill Gates and George Soros spent a lot
of money funding the Democrats in twenty and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Obviously they didn't win in twenty twenty four, but they
had to know that Joe's brain was broken. These aren't
stupid people. They had a lot of money and resources.
They were around Joe, weren't they. There's a new book
out that actually explains, Yes, there was a massive internal
cover up of Joe Biden's deterioration, and there's a report
today at townhall dot com explaining it. We all noticed it.
(19:08):
They angrily denied it. Very bizarre allegations they called cheap fakes.
They kept using the talking points sharp as attack, He's
sharp as attack, like they were fed a script or
something Democrat Party officials in White House staffers were all
well aware of former President Joe Biden's frailties ahead of
his choice to end his ill fated.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Reelection bid last summer.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I've got to assume most of them knew about it
before he even announced he was running. There's an excerpt
from a new book called Fight Inside, the Wildest Battle
for the White House, by a Hill senior political correspondent
named Amy Parnes and an NBC News senior national politics
reporter named Jonathan Allen, And they actually admit the very
extensive cover up of the signs of Biden's agent. It
(19:58):
can all be said now for cash and book deals.
But boy, they weren't willing to admit that a year ago,
weren't they. It's the biggest political and media scandal in
modern history, trying to trying to hide the fact that
Joe Biden had dementia. He was not capable of running
anything of importance, let alone the country, And he wasn't
really running the country. He didn't recognize a prominent congressman
(20:19):
against whom he'd run for president. He had a makeup
artist airbrush away physical signs of aging before events. Then
would sometimes no show the events. Anyway, he needed bright
tape to guide him around living rooms and a teleprompter
to guide him through the brief and informal remarks, which
he'd boughtch Anyway, we all saw it. We all knew this.
They saw it, They knew it, and their reaction was
(20:40):
four more years. That's what they said. It was a scandal,
it was a disgrace. Finally, remember Biden's withdrawal announcements by tweet.
He told you nothing on Twitter or x or whatever
we're calling it now should ever be taken seriously, that
Elon Musk's platform is a fake news outlet. And then
that was exactly where he went so he could announce
(21:03):
that he wasn't going to be running for president again.
And a short time later he endorsed Kamala So there's
this new book out. A frantic behind the scenes lobbying
led to that decision, whether or not Biden genuinely made
it himself. Why wasn't it reported at the time that
Joe Biden had Kamala Harris beg for his endorsement. Wouldn't
(21:25):
that have been interesting? Wouldn't you have liked to know that?
Wouldn't Democrat voters have liked.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
To know that.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Give me the play by play of that conversation between
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris when he tells her that
he's dropping out of the race.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Biden calls Jim.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Cliburn, Yeah, go ahead, sorry the sound by pause.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Who's in South Carolina, I believe, celebrating his birthday and
tells him and says, listen, I've got a statement I'm
going to get out. And he reads the statement and
Cliburn goes, there's a problem with your statement. Binds like,
what is it? And he goes, you don't mention Kamala Harris.
You're going to have to endorse her, and Biden says, well,
you know, yeah, I'm gonna leave. I'll eventually endorse her,
(22:04):
but I'm gonna leave my statement as is. And Cliburn's
like freaking out. He's like, I don't know what to do.
He wants to be able to endorse Kamala Harris himself immediately.
He needs Biden to get out of the race. Before
he can do that, He's got a five thirty PM
phone call set up with Barack Obama. He knows Obama's
going to push him to support this, you know, this
(22:25):
contested primary, open convention idea, and he wants to be
able to tell Obama to go pounce sand So in
order to do that, he has to have already endorsed
Harris himself. So ultimately that's what what Cliburn does, and
it's ultimately Biden does. Biden puts out the first statement,
then about half an hour later, he puts out the second.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, I'm sorry to pause it right here. Isn't it interesting?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
These are NBC news and political reporters telling you inside information,
deeply detailed, vividly detailed information about what was going on
behind the scenes. Because they knew. Why didn't they say
anything at the time. Do you think they didn't know
in twenty nineteen that his brain was broken when he
announced his presidency. Hell, they probably knew it in twenty
(23:09):
sixteen when Hillary Clinton was going to run and lost
all back back then. One of the reasons that Hillary
was picked before Joe is because of Joe's cognitive decline.
It's odd to think there is a chance, almost a
chance in hell, we could have gotten Biden twice. Could
you imagine if Biden had ran in twenty sixteen instead
(23:30):
of Hillary and Barack Obama was out on the campaign
trail with him, and he wasn't quite as slow as
he is now. I think he was quite a bit
more articulate back then. There is a chance he could
have won in twenty sixteen and maybe even twenty twenty.
Thank God for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Hey, it's me the Donald. You're listening to the Pursuit
of Happiness radio.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Voice from the Radio Games.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
The White House Correspondence Association has decided I did not
to have a comedian this year at the White House
Correspondents Association dinner, you know, the what do they call
it in Washington, d c. They refer to it as
the nerd prom That's their cute way of suggesting all
the journalists are just innocent nerds who want the best.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But anyway, I guess this year they decided not to have.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
A comedian because the comedian they chose said she was
just going to make fun of Trump. She wouldn't make
fun of any Democrats. It wouldn't be appropriate to have
a comedian performed this year, they said. I also think
it's possible it's because no joke could possibly be as
funny as the White House Correspondents Association itself an organization
that's become completely hilarious over the last few months. But
(24:41):
I digress. Here's something that's not funny. Violence in public schools.
You probably live in Texas if you're listening to this
radio show, which means is a pretty good chance you're
a Texas taxpayer, and certainly someone that votes in Texas elections,
and probably somebody who has a lot of opinions about
school choice. Now, the easiest argument about school choice I
(25:02):
always thought was, wouldn't be nice if the parents got
to decide how their own money was spent on their
children's education. School choice isn't for rich kids. No, No,
rich kids don't need it. They can go to private school.
They don't need a subsidy, they don't need a voucher. No,
it's for normal, average people who are on a fixed income,
people that don't necessarily have ten extra thousand dollars they
(25:23):
can spend on their children's elementary or high school level
education each year. So they end up sending their kids
to public school. And if you send your kids to
public school, you don't have a choice. Liberals will tell
you they hate monopolies unless it's the government, and then
they're fine with it. There's a new story from this
past week. I apparently this was a pretty big story.
I got to admit I missed this one. It is
(25:44):
from a school district known as the Hurst Eullis Bedford
ISD Independent School District. This is a Dallas Fort Worth
area and this is a racially provocative video in vividly
demonstrating a black student beating the snot out of a
white kid. And it's hard to watch as the fight
(26:06):
is taking place. A lot of people are just standing
around watching, including a teacher that appears to be holding
a coffee cup. At one point, the black student punches
the white kid in the face so hard he loses
a tooth. There's a lot of questions here. Why is
the fight happening? Why is no one doing anything about it?
Why do is this become just par for the course?
(26:27):
Now and from the latest report I just read on
this at Current Revolt dot com, a news outlet I
recommend you all subscribe to.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
No charges have been filed. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Now again, I just learned about this story, but this
is pretty wild stuff. Tony Ortiz is here right now
from Current Revolt dot com. Tony, this basically happened in
your part of the state. You live in DFWR, this
is your community where this took place at.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Yeah, it's a it's a school district that's just between
Fort Worth and Dallas, right right, just right outside airport,
just west of the AIRPORTFW Airport.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
And it's pretty brutal. The video blew up around seven
million views on on x or Twitter right, and it
shows it shows a black student mounted on top of
a white student and just beating the heck out of him.
And and the the white student on his back isn't
even like really defending himself. He's putting his hands up
to try to block the punches, but it's not working.
(27:23):
And in one point it does look like a tooth
goes flying out of his mouth. And the meanwhile, all
of the students are watching, some are laughing and screaming,
and two teachers, uh are are at least at least
it looks like it's mostly just watching. One teacher with glasses.
He's just using one of his hands to kind of
(27:44):
lightly touch the black student to try to stop him.
Another student or sorry, another teacher with his giant gut
is holding his coffee cup while he's using his other
free hand to just lightly touch the black students like hey,
you know, stop that, until finally another teacher just just
picks up the black student, just removes him off of
(28:06):
the white students, and before he does, the black student
gets one final kick into the skull of the white
student while he's on the floor, and it's brutal. It's
one of the probably one of the worst fight videos
I've seen in school. And you know, you know, I
grew up in Chicago in Indiana, so I went to
an Indiana public school. And I got into two fights
(28:29):
when I was in public school, both resulting in suspension.
So it wasn't the safest school, so to say, But
this one was brutal, and it was so bad in
the national at tension. Okay, So I attended the first
school board meeting following that fight, which was last night,
and I anticipated a lot of angry at parents, a
(28:51):
lot of questions, people wanting to hold the district accountable,
wondering why the teachers really weren't involved. Of all that,
parents showed up with some that didn't even have students
at the school where the incident happened. Okay, the first
parent we spoke to blamed it on white on black racism,
(29:13):
which didn't really make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
It's why, Yeah, the black kid, the white kid said
something that was racially provocative.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Is that what they're suggesting. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
She claimed that the whole thing was a result of
white on black racism and kind of almost almost insinuated that,
like it was deserved or an appropriate response.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You know, that's not a common thing that people will say, Well,
he said the N word, he deserved to get punched,
And to anybody out there, look, I don't like the
N word. I didn't grow up around it. But just
so we're clear here, the common sense would dictate, in
a world filled with violence and disease and war and
pestilence and plague and theft and rape, if your parents
(29:53):
raised you to become triggered by hearing a word, a
seemingly innoculous word, and that word causes you to either
lash out violently or curl up into the fetal position,
your parents are not qualified to raise children. It's not
the person saying the N word that's a fault here,
although you know, I don't endorse that the reaction is
the fault of the parent. That's unbelievable, Tony, who is
(30:17):
this person that seemed to indorse the violence?
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Well, she again, she didn't endorsed the violence, but she's
just was kind of like, well, it's she almost sees
way that it was an appropriate response, right, And I
agree with you, like the word should never be used, right,
but a response to the word being you shouldn't be
almost almost murdering, almost seemingly murdering another child, Like it's
just insane to me.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
And I was thinking about this the other day.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Right, It's like people that like Luigi Mangione, people that
indorse his violence, would have no moral objection to lying
about being raped if they thought it would prevent someone
from getting onto the Supreme Court or somebody from getting
elected to it. There is a group of people on
the left Whoten work in public school positions that are
(31:02):
very okay with violence if it suits the means to
help satisfy their narrative. And it really makes me uneasy
knowing that these people work in public schools.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Absolutely. I mean, it's the same people that will support
or endorse the violence where you've got what these fire
bombings happening in Tesla the car dealers, right, and these
tesla's getting murdered, and and then you recently had a UTD.
You had a transgender student smack the head of a
TPUSA student with a bike lock and was arrested for it,
(31:33):
and I went on the I went onto the UTD
reddit for them, and all the students work saying, oh,
this is a justified response because the student was a
Republican and they're very annoying, Like it's okay to it's
okay to bust ahead of another student if they're a Republican,
and if they're annoyed if I find.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Them, I think Pokemon is annoying?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Am I allowed to violently attack people that costplay at
Harry Potter conventions?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I mean, well, if I find that.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
In a Republican you would be you know so, the.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Moral compass of liberals is so bizarre. I do not
I cannot wrap mine. No matter how far I think
the right goes to the right, sometimes it's it's it's
never as far as the left is willing to go.
It's not even close.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Yeah, you can't coexist with in a society, or at
least an appropriate society, with people who believe these sorts
of responses are appropriate. So but but back to the story.
So we interviewed her, right, and then another woman came
by and she was not happy with what happened at all,
but she claimed that everybody was a victim, and we
were like, what do you what do you mean? She's like, oh,
(32:35):
even even the black students of victim, the white students
of victim, the teachers are victims, and even the students
watching this unfold were victims. And it is just like
it was almost like some hippie stuff like I just
didn't I didn't connect, but I was just like, okay,
And then.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
How do you talk to that person that's so weird?
Like all right, this is weird.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
And then we talked to another gentleman who who appropriately identified, like, yeah,
this is a problem that the black students that guilt
here clearly in the video. You know. He's like, I'm
not gonna suggest maybe what happened or what triggered it,
but either way, this wasn't an appropriate response. The teachers were
horrible and how they reacted, and that was the That
was the common sentiment with the four parents that showed up.
(33:15):
Nobody was happy with the teacher's response. Right, you had
this giant beer gut teacher who just held his coffee
cup while watching another student just beat the junk out
of another student, and like it didn't take much to
just bear hug the kid and not telling the teachers
to like get physically involved or or or fight to
(33:35):
the other students, like just put your arms around him
and pull them off, Like that's not it's not a
violent response to this. But you know, I almost I
almost kind of understand why teachers are so hesitant to this,
because the minute a teacher gets involved in something potentially
racially charged like this, the teacher could be called himself
could be called a racist. You're you're attacking a black student,
(33:56):
You're stopping a black student, like why didn't you stop
the white student, even though the white students one getting humbled.
So it was very it was very shocking actually to
see this because I highly anticipated a lot more angry
parents show up for this sort of thing, especially something
that made national news.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
None of the parents you had kids showed up, none
of the there's no lawsuits nothing.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
No, there's no way that that video results in no
law enforcement getting involved.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
That video is insane.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
I mean, the police put out a statement, but it
left out it was a rather weird statement, and it
had more it gave more questions than answers, to be honest,
And you know, I didn't even see black parents come
out to defend the black students, like there was nobody there.
There was actually I didn't even see black parents there
at all, despite I think the district is like forty
percent black.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Racist people listening to the show will respond to what
you just said and say, well, why would the black
parents show up? And I just want to say, I
don't endorse those comments. Shame on anyone listening to this
radio show that would make a comment like that.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Oh man. But like you know, in fact, what was
more more people showed up. More people showed up for
the like announcement of a music program, then then showed
up for this this fight incident. More engineers and contractors
showed up to make sure that their contracting bids kind
(35:21):
of proved. Then parents showed up for this fighting incident.
So it was it was very disturbing, and I'm frankly,
I'm quite disappointed with the parents of AGB.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
So look, I watched the same video you watched. I
watched it right before we did this segment. I couldn't
believe my eyes, and I asked the question, why doesn't
a teacher get involved? And so as I was sitting
here listening to you explain this to me, I'm just
click click click on my keyboard. I stumble across this
one year ago, roughly one year ago, a news story
from the Orange Stark Middle School. This would be Orange
(35:54):
is SD and Orange, Texas. I believe the locals pronounced
it orange. And it is a new story about a
middle school teacher saying he was forced to resign because
he broke up a fight between two students. Now, same state,
same laws, same curriculum standards. I got to think, the
way that a teacher is expected to conduct themselves in Orange,
(36:14):
Texas is not terribly difficult or different from the way
that a teacher would be expected to conduct themselves in Bedford,
Texas at Harwood Junior High where this took place at.
I don't remember. Look, I you know again, it's not
the same thing. But I grew up in a small
Midwest town and I don't ever remember ever seeing some
kid just getting violently beat like that while everyone in
(36:36):
the school watches and no one doing anything. Has the
world changed since then? Was that more just I lived
in a smaller town. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Yeah, I see in the fights that I got in
school when I was in high school. But you know,
the fight goes on for a tiny bit and once
it starts to escalate, people pull you off. Like it
wasn't even teachers in my incident that pulls off to
his friends of each other, that pulled each other off
of one another. That just stopped us from fighting. Right,
And but in this instant, like you can you can
see the video, you see students in the background laughing
(37:08):
and cheering. Everybody of course has their phone out of course, right,
And to your question like, yeah, what happened to society?
Like where are the why are the students protecting each
other or stopping this from happening? Right, They're more concerned
with getting likes and views from whatever video they capture.
And you know, the most discussed I keep going back
(37:28):
to it, but the most disgusting thing is this teacher
holding his coffee mug while watching about using one hand
to gently stop, try to caress the black student to stop,
and it's like you're a man, you know what I mean,
Like you're a man, You're a grown man. Like at minimum,
put the coffee cup down, and maybe try to like
(37:49):
hold his hands or at least put yourself in between
the punches or something, right like something. But but no,
he's more concerned about his starbucks. I guess it's just depressing.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
It is pretty dude. Hey, speaking of violence, where was this?
I guess all over the DFW area, you guys had
protests at the Tesla dealerships over the weekend. Dana Lash,
friend of the show, was saying, how I was reading
a thread on her x account about protests at the
Tesla dealership in South Lake, kind of an affluent suburb
(38:20):
of Fort Worth, And according to the report there, I
read that right at noon, was it Saturday or Sunday?
Right at noon, all the protesters left like they were
getting paid to be there until twelve o'clock and then
right when.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
The But that wasn't the only thing over the weekend
in your area, was it?
Speaker 5 (38:36):
No?
Speaker 6 (38:36):
We also had, you know, we also had there was
a big meeting actually yesterday about the epic epic town
that they're trying to build. There is a community that's
being pushed to kind of in the northeast part of Dallas,
and it's being built by a Muslim builder builder. It's
supposed to be a Muslim only community, and you know,
(38:58):
I think we kind of you and I talked about
this last week, like, actually, don't. I don't as a
conservative and a Republican really don't have a problem with
other people's religions, Like I'm mostly okay with them, right
provided they don't. You know, it's kind of a libertannything.
Don't step on me, right, Like sure that they don't
get step into my life, right. But the problem with
this build out, and if you go to their website is,
(39:19):
at least last time I checked it, it specifically says
they won't sell property or homes to anybody that doesn't
follow their values, which is basically just saying, hey, we're
not going to sell property to anybody who's not a
fellow Muslim.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
I have a problem with that. And where on that
topic you listen to this SoundBite. I want I want
your reaction to this. Tony Ortiz epic for those that
are curious, EPIC City stands for East Plano Islamic Center.
I don't understand any of the jokes he's telling in
this SoundBite because I don't speak Arabic. But he's making
a point here about how they're going to try to
import Muslims from around the world to live in Epic City.
Speaker 9 (39:55):
No question that Epic has become a global community, a
global community wherever I go. I was in Scandinavia, somebody
came up to me, an elderly man.
Speaker 10 (40:05):
I thought he's gonna shake my hand. He goes, no, no,
give my salam to Stad. Barjura said, okay, Yola Hallas
Habibiu stad Hellas they'll go to Habibiu stad in Scandinavia
will lie A man came, you don't even forget Ystad.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
I want to know. Okay, I'm la.
Speaker 10 (40:21):
I'm not even joking. Wherever I go our epic city
that we announced here, people are so excited around the world.
I was getting phone calls from people in Europe. They
want to move to America because they're hearing of our
programs here.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Okay, So Tony ortiz Uh, much like you, I don't
have a problem with an hoa community that doesn't allow
thong bikinis at the public pool. Whatever that's you know,
that's for them to decide what they want to do.
But these guys are talking about importing people from other
countries in order to fill out I do have an
issue with that. I would say, I don't think we
should import people to America that don't believe in American
(40:57):
values and customs. And yet that's exactly what this here's
to be. The practice appears to be beyond their business.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
Model and going further again, it's discriminatory. They specifically sit
on the site that they will not sell property to
anybody who does not align with their values. And as
far as I'm aware, there's Texas code that prevents the
sort of discriminatory practices against religion, race, gender, ethnicity, all
(41:24):
that good stuff. And they're open there. They're very publicly
stating that they're going to do that. And so there
was a big meeting last yesterday and Colin County about this,
and I know that the Attorney General is involved in
investigating them. The governor, Greg Abbott has also made a
statement about it. So it's a problem. And here let
me tell you this, if you had any other religious
(41:44):
group trying to do something like this, people would be
freaking out. If you had Mormons trying to create a
Mormon only community, they were publicly stating it, people would
be calling them a cult. If you had Catholics doing
it like a Catholic only community, people would be called
them like a million different types of words. If you
had a community that was just white people would try
(42:05):
and openly stating we're only going to sell property to
white people, it would be shut down before it even
left the ground, right, But for some reason, this Muslim
community can get away with at least being very publicly
discriminatory and the left defending this. Of course, of course
the defending right. So it's just crazy.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Here in the Houston area, we have a community called
meyer Land, and people from Houston immediately know what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
This is where the Jewish people live.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Right years ago, river Oaks, a historically wealthy neighborhood in
the Houston, Texas area. Old money would be the term
you'd use to describe it. Had a gentleman's agreement, as
they referred to it, that excluded Blacks and Jews, which
is the whole reason Meyerland exists. If you were Jewish,
you had a little money, you weren't welcome in river Oaks.
I'm just going to climb out on a limb here
and guess at Epic City, if I want to put
(42:55):
up a manora in my front yard, that's probably not
going to be allowed. But it certainly sounds like that
would be illegal to me, Tony. I gotta think them,
at what point do the liberals. It's so weird how
Jewish people always tend to be liberal Democrats and they'll
just look the other way at this stuff.
Speaker 6 (43:11):
Yeah, I don't get it. It's it's very strange the
liberals will defend So I come from a back when
I was younger, I remember like the liberal and the
atheist community specifically like hated religion, and they specifically hated
Islam the most because it was the most violent and
(43:32):
all this stuff. This is like the atheist community in
liberal world right, and it's completely reversed now the like
liberal atheists will will bend over backwards to develop to
defend Islam and another religious organizations provided that they're like
anti Christianity and anti white people specifically, Like that's the
that's the like.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Term that they need.
Speaker 6 (43:51):
Like if as long as a group and it doesn't
matter what group it is, as long as they're not white,
and they hate Christians, and they especially hate Republicans. Liberals
will bend over back word to to send them. And
it's the oddest thing. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
I don't get it either, Tony Ortiz.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
You know what else I don't get People that don't
go to Current Revolt dot com and hit the subscription button.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
What is wrong with you? Radio listeners.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
This is free news for conservatives in the state of Texas.
And besides the fact that it's very informative, it's funny.
Current Revolt dot com is the only conservative news website
in the state of Texas where they sprinkle a little
satire in.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
They've actually got a sense of humor.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
If you enjoy what we do on the radio, I
think it's very similar and I would encourage you to
go check it out Current Revolt dot com Today, Tony,
thank you for your time.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Brother.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
You were listening to Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness, where
everyone is welcome, even scum sucking maggots swallowing socialist bastards
you used to refer to as Mom
The Giganic government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is
d US. Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Of
a suit of happiness US on your radio toil just
as cheeseburgers a liberty fries at food.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
April April is Stress Awareness Month.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We need stress awareness month.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Apparently experts think a good way to reduce stress is
by taking up gardening, and they're right. It's therapeutic and
you can actually save a lot of money by growing
your own marijuana. So consider doing that. Hi, everybody, Kenny Webster,
Welcome to the show this afternoon. Daniel Turner's stopping by
from Power of the Future. He's an oil and gas
(00:45):
guy and there's a lawsuit happening right now in Louisiana.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I know there's going to sound.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Like hyperbolee, sensationalism, exaggeration, but it's not. It's a three
billion dollar lawsuit that could actually destroy the oil and
gas industry in the Cajun States. So we is gonna
explain it to you and why it matters and why
we might need Governor Landry to step in and do
something stick around.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Plus, Tony Ortiz is here from Current Revolt dot com.
That's a news website that covers information specifically pertaining to
politics in Texas. And last week there was a violent
school fight video that went viral on social media depicting
a white kid getting the snock kicked out of him
by a black kid. As you're watching the video, it
(01:28):
actually looks like his teeth are flying out of his face.
It is hard to watch, and weirdly no charges pressed.
They're actually making it political. There are people, they are
public officials and publicly funded employees who actually are suggesting
it's the white kid's fault because he said something racist. Now,
I don't know if any of that's true. We're going
to try to get to the bottom of it. Stick around.
(01:49):
Before we get to any of that, let's play a
little game. It's called new White House, Old White House,
New White House Old? What the difference between transparency in
the new White House versus the Old White House? And
perfectly displayed today at town hall dot com. Trump's administration
created the Department of Government Efficiency, brand new agency guided
(02:10):
by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk. The whole point
was to expose corruption and waste and mismanagement in our government.
Days after its creation, DOGE found the US Agency for
International Development, otherwise known as USAID, is full of waste
and not really doing anything to benefit your life. So
(02:30):
he put it into the wood chipper, and predictably, a
very angry legal battle ensued, and late last week a
federal court appeal Appeels Court cleared the way for DOGE
to continue its efforts.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It said, no, this is legal.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So USAID has shamelessly spent taxpayer dollars on all these
woke initiatives all over the world. One of these projects
was a transgender clinic in India. Guess what That clinic
just shuttered its doors. Hiderbod that's where the location of
the clinic. The city had a place called Matier Clinic,
(03:04):
providing transgender care to about two hundred patients a month,
most of them at HIV, and you were paying for
them to get transgender procedures. Why, what's the point of
any of this. There was recently a report out of
Australia detailing how the leader of the country needed to
have an emergency meeting to figure out what to do
about all the funding they were going to lose from
(03:26):
the United States because of DOGE. Now Australia is a
developed country. I'm just curious, why did Australia need to
have an emergency meeting to figure out what to do
about us not giving them free money anymore? How much
money were we giving them? By the way, they say
it was money for universities there. Okay, so I'm funding
(03:47):
colleges in Australia. Why why can't they pay for their
own colleges? It really is time to cut funding some
of these useless organizations NPR, for example, pba US. Everyone
in politics claims to be against waste, fraud and abuse
until they find themselves in a position to do something
about it, and then, as Derrek Hunter recently put it,
(04:10):
they go radio silent. They talk a good game, but
that's it. Action in politics at least is a difficult
commodity to come by, isn't it? Isn't it odd? How
so many people get rich off taxpayer money. I bet
you aren't one of them. I know I'm not. But
people do cash flying out the doors and windows of
government agencies, and one of those places is NPR in PBS.
(04:33):
Last week we heard testimony from the CEOs of NPR
and PBS. Excuse me not CBS, but CEOs of NPR
and PBS that should have been the death of both organizations.
We pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to
multiple numerous talk show hosts on both of those networks,
both of those companies to do what I'm doing right now.
(04:57):
The difference being this radio show you're listening to right
now is privately funded. And oh, by the way, did
I mention while I may have a conservative libertarian perspective,
at PBS and NPR, you were paying the salaries of
people who were liberal, socialist, and communist and you pay
them several hundred thousand dollars a year. Now, I'm curious,
(05:18):
why is it your responsibility to pay the salary of
somebody whose job it is to go on the radio
or on TV and explain why Trump is evil? Does
that make any sense? Yeah, it's time for PBS and
NPR to go. And thank god, you know what I
didn't have time to get to in this segment stick
around after Daniel Turner stops by, we're going to talk
about the difference between transparency and the Trump administration versus
(05:40):
the Biden administration. We just did the Trump administration coming
up in a little bit transparency or should I say
lack thereof in the world of Joe Biden's White House.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
If I were you, I'd stay put Kenny, You'll be
right back with more of what you came for for jokes.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
A new study claims or organic food doesn't reduce the
risk of cancer. It does nothing, they say. The study
also found that white people will believe anything. Yeah, I'm
sure that's true. Apparently the study doesn't. You know, Okay,
organic food doesn't reduce the risk of cancer, but it
does increase the risk of you being an annoying hipster.
(06:19):
So there's something to think about. High we're back from break.
There was another study today that claimed actually tapwater could
be better for you than plastic bottled water. And I
think the point they were trying to make was about,
what was it like the microplastics in your ball sack.
I know it's weird to explain it like that, but
that's remember this. Everybody thought plastic bottle water was better
(06:39):
than tapwater right up until they found out about all
the microplastics in your testicles. And I don't know if
that's true. I do know that there's a lot of
irreparable damage done to Madonna's face from plastic could be
a connection between that could just be a coincidence, something
to think about.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I don't know, I don't know, I don't I.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Will tell you this, of all the problems I have,
microplastics in my testicles are the least of my concern.
In fact, at the end of the day, I think
most people listening to this radio show would probably be
an agreement that plastic is not bad. The plastic straw
stuff was a bunch of nonsense, right Remember that. Remember
when they told you plastic straws were bad, They're killing
sea turtles. Everybody used these paper straws, and then we
(07:19):
found out the paper straws were actually worse for your
health and the environment because they had something in them
called forever chemicals. Google that if you want to fall
into a pit of information, that'll probably make you beg
for a plastic straw the next time you order a coke.
And at the same time, I also wonder you know
there's a lot of this information being put out there
(07:39):
just to hurt the oil and gas industry, because chances
are it is right. Everybody knows the oil and gas
industry is a billion dollar industry that it's not a question.
That's not a surprise to anybody. But did you know
that the anti oil and gas industry is a billion
dollar industry?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
No? Boy, Yeah, everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
When you're watching cable news and you see the pundit
defending the energy industry and they're like, well, he's paid
to be there. Okay, do you think the other guy
on the screen debating him is not being paid to
be there? He might be getting paid more. Who pays
for Leonardo DiCaprio to fly in a private jet to
a climate change summit? You remember, not long ago we
learned they were going to tear down part of a
(08:18):
rainforest so they could have a climate convention. Louisiana's got
problems today. Foxnews dot Com today, reporting US energy interests,
warned that if the first of several expected lawsuits over
decades of land loss, an issue widely acknowledged as a crisis, succeeds,
it could threaten the future of the energy exploration. There's
(08:41):
a coastal jurisdiction south in the New Orleans area there.
I'm sure a lot of you guys know it. The
Grand Isle area over there, which could be called a
county in most other states. It's called a parish in Louisiana.
They're seeking billions of dollars in damages from Chevron over
allegations surrounding the behavior of the now subsidi Texaco. We're
(09:01):
getting a little deep in the weeds here, but what
this amounts to is simply that a three billion dollar
lawsuit apparently brought on during the Obama years, could actually
destroy the golf energy industry, according to a lot of
people in the oil and gas industry, the energy industry.
I'm not an expert on this, so I've reached out
to a friend of mine that understands it a little
bit better. Somebody that actually works in the energy sector,
(09:23):
somebody who's devoted as life to defending the American energy industry.
My good buddy on the line right now, Daniel Turner
from Powerthefuture dot com. Daniel, what the hell is going
on in Louisiana.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, this is a really important lawsuit that's still ongoing,
and the outcome is going to be very decisive because
it will scare off a lot of industry if it
goes the wrong way. And as you said, everyone knows
oil and gas has money, right, It's a multi trillion
dollar industry, and so they're an easy target to sue.
And so you make up these climate lawsuits. You make
(09:57):
up these you know there are they're causing seat change
rise lawsuits. And normally companies just settle and sue. I
was settle after the lawsuit, right, like, how much do
you want to go away? Okay, well, write you check,
leave us alone. But this is really the first time
that a company said no, no, no, we're not going to
get sued over a law from the nineteen eighties because
(10:18):
you all want some money because the parish, as you said,
the county needs money, right, so let's just sue somebody
and let's make up the reason. And so I applaud
this company for fighting back. But if they lose, and
there's a chance to lose, why would anyone operate in
Louisiana again, why would you ever operate anywhere when you
can go to neighboring Texas, which cleaned up its litigation.
(10:42):
You as a Texan would know that, but your audience
definitely does. Texas used to also have a lot of
settle and sue lawsuits, a lot of corrupt judges, a
lot of and Texas did a huge effort to clean
that up in the early nineties and two thousands, and
Texas is a different state because of it. Louisiana hasn't
cleaned up their act yet, and so these these lawsuits
(11:04):
are ongoing, and they're costly, and they're driving industry out
of the state. And so yeah, we're all watching this
because we're kind of hoping the governor, you know, steps
in a little bit. The governor's on the one hand,
trying to play I'm mister Maga, I'm Governor Maga. I
support the Trump energy agenda. But then in his home
state of Louisiana, where everyone's kind of friends with everybody,
(11:26):
including the trial lawyers, yep, he's just kind of keeping
his mouth shut and hoping it goes away. And it won't.
We need leadership, Kenny.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
All right out.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I want to be clear about something here. I like
Governor Jeff Landry. I think he's doing a good job.
I think he's one of the better governors in the
country right now. But he also governs a state that
is full of corruption. And that is a fact based
statement that could have been said anytime in the last
two centuries. It would still be true. We're talking about
a state that goes back to Napoleonic law without the
(11:55):
depth of their corruption. It goes not just decades, literally centuries.
Being said, there's a lot of nuances, there's a lot
of things we don't understand here. But I think the
thing that really upset people on the energy industry, it's
not the fact that Governor Landry's taking the wrong side here,
it's that he's not taking any side.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Is that what people are concerned about.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Absolutely, And this is a chance where the governor is
great and I've met with the governor and he has
an enormously difficult job in an enormously complicated state. Right,
Louisiana is a good old boys state, There's no doubt
about it. And unless your last name is Gidri or
Boudreau or Landry, you're not going to get anything done.
(12:34):
Everyone's interrelated, everyone's intermarried, right, They all have the same
Marti Groth floats. But this is where you really make
your name for yourself when it's time to be a
leader and step up, and being a leader is tough. Right.
I've said this before on your program and I'll say
it forever. The best thing that President Trump did for
the right is He taught them to fight, and he
(12:57):
made a lot of enemies on the right. Right, there
are good, good conservatives out there who despise President Trump
for the sole reason that he fights. They would rather
lose with elegance and dignity than win with bloody knuckles.
And Trump has said, no, I want to win, and
if I need to punch bad people to win, I
will do so. And that's why Trump has a base
(13:19):
of loyalists who will never leave him because he is
their leader and he fights for them. Governor Landry can
have the same thing. Governor Landry could be presidential material.
But this is where you start making a name for yourself.
And you're saying, these frivolous lawsuits that are scaring industry
out of Louisiana, they need to stop and we need
to fight. You know, just dirtbag lawyers who like to
(13:42):
sue because there's a lot of money in it. And
you know, you see the ads on TV, right, Kenny
Webster law firm, You don't pay unless you win this.
We can't run a country on lawsuits. And that's why
how Louisiana right now is operating.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, apparently these lawyers.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I don't know if you've heard about this, but a
lot of these lawyers are not good guys, Daniel, and.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
We need to keep the courts open for actual wrongdoing.
And if an oil and gas company has done something wrong,
by God, they should be held accountable. But the way
it operates now is you find a reason to sue
and you hope that they'll just set a out of
court and you pocket the check. Ask the citizens of
Louisiana how they are they getting all these royalties from
(14:29):
these billions of dollars in lawsuits that the industry goes
through every year. Right, are you seeing kickbacks?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Politicians are right, trial lawyers are who elected politicians and judges.
So a lot of people are making a lot of money,
but the industry isn't. I got to tell you, Louisiana,
Mardi Gras is not going to keep your state afloat
right right, New Orleans is great, but tourism is not
going to run your state. If you lose oil and gas,
and you are losing oil and gas. If you lose
(14:58):
oil and gas, your state is going to look more
and more like your neighboring states, and that will be
a tragedy. You know.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The only difference between a lawyer and a vulture is
that the vulture waits until you're dead before it starts
picking you apart. So to your point there, I think
this is concerning Daniel. You know, people that listen to
you and I opine and rant about some of these
problems affecting the energy industry around the Gulf of America
probably wonder what they can do about it.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
What could they do? Reach out to Landry, write them
a letter, I mean, what would you recommend?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yeah? Absolutely, I mean makes us say an issue you
know with your elected leader that your town halls on
the state level. Right, This is not a federal issue,
This is not President Trump involved. This is a Louisiana issue,
and you need to stand up for your state, right.
And Louisiana definitely has a lot of proud citizens, as
(15:48):
does Texas, as does virgin You where I am, but
the state is slowly dying because there's not an opportunity there,
and so you're going to move. Heck, you hear more
Cajun accents in Midland than you do in Louisiana because
the industry is moving out of the state to where
it's easier to operate. No one is winning that way.
Louisiana's future is not winning that way. So the best
(16:10):
thing that you can do is get involved at the
most local level and stand up for truth. This crap,
can he Let's just be blunt. This crap that these
islands in the Gulf of America are disappearing because of
sea level rise. Well, then how come the sea level
isn't rising in Galveston. It's not that far, right, how
come it's not rising in Alabama or Biloxi. It's not
(16:33):
that far. It's only rising in these islands, and it's
because the climate change. Well, by gosh, there must be
a hill of water somewhere, and I've never seen water
do that, But somehow there is a hill of water
around the Gulf of America at the Mississippi Delta that
only affects New Orleans. I mean, give me a break.
That's what a load of crap this all is.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
What are the lies that environmentals will tell you is
that because erosion exists, that's proof of the fact that
the sea levels arising. No islands move, tolls move like that,
land masses can move. It doesn't have anything to do
with the sea levels going up or down. Necessarily, it's
just movement of the cells of water. But I digress.
Daniel Turner. I think you've done a fantastic job of
(17:16):
explaining this news story. And if I didn't already do it,
I would follow you on x at Daniel Turner PTF
if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yes, that is it, and thank you. I appreciate the shoutout, Kenny,
And that was great to be on your program.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And PTF is the name of your boy's band, boy band?
You sing baritone?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I'm told.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
It is my boy. There's only me right, I have
a solo act right now.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
But it's good.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
You know it's good. You can dance to it.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
That's great. I can't wait to check out your new.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Album coming up more Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness a
safe space for those who love liberty and try not
to take themselves too seriously. Even if your name is Karen.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh, this is interesting. One of the lizard people just
spoke out publicly. Bill Gates has been in the news
a lot lately, not for the pandemic, although that was
his thing. He was all over the news talking about
vaccines for a while, and he was all over the
news talking about AI that's his latest thing. Bill Gates
(18:20):
says AI will replace most humans at the workplace. Now
the keyword here is humans, which means Bill Gates will
still have a job. He's going to be fine. Don't
worry about Oh you weren't worried about Bill Gates. Yeah,
I wasn't worried about him either. Bill Gates is one
of the reasons why Joe Biden got to be president.
Guys like Bill Gates and George Soros spent a lot
of money funding the Democrats in twenty and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Obviously they didn't win in twenty twenty four, but they
had to know that Joe's brain was broken. These aren't
stupid people. They had a lot of money and resources.
They were around Joe, weren't they. There's a new book
out that actually explains, Yes, there was a massive internal
cover up of Joe Biden's deterioration, and there's a report
today at townhall dot com explaining it. We all noticed it.
(19:08):
They angrily denied it. Very bizarre allegations they called cheap fakes.
They kept using the talking points sharp as attack, He's
sharp as attack, like they were fed a script or
something Democrat Party officials in White House staffers were all
well aware of former President Joe Biden's frailties ahead of
his choice to end his ill fated.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Reelection bid last summer.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I've got to assume most of them knew about it
before he even announced he was running. There's an excerpt
from a new book called Fight Inside, the Wildest Battle
for the White House, by a Hill senior political correspondent
named Amy Parnes and an NBC News senior national politics
reporter named Jonathan Allen, And they actually admit the very
extensive cover up of the signs of Biden's agent. It
(19:58):
can all be said now for cash and book deals.
But boy, they weren't willing to admit that a year ago,
weren't they. It's the biggest political and media scandal in
modern history, trying to trying to hide the fact that
Joe Biden had dementia. He was not capable of running
anything of importance, let alone the country, And he wasn't
really running the country. He didn't recognize a prominent congressman
(20:19):
against whom he'd run for president. He had a makeup
artist airbrush away physical signs of aging before events. Then
would sometimes no show the events. Anyway, he needed bright
tape to guide him around living rooms and a teleprompter
to guide him through the brief and informal remarks, which
he'd boughtch Anyway, we all saw it. We all knew this.
They saw it, They knew it, and their reaction was
(20:40):
four more years. That's what they said. It was a scandal,
it was a disgrace. Finally, remember Biden's withdrawal announcements by tweet.
He told you nothing on Twitter or x or whatever
we're calling it now should ever be taken seriously, that
Elon Musk's platform is a fake news outlet. And then
that was exactly where he went so he could announce
(21:03):
that he wasn't going to be running for president again.
And a short time later he endorsed Kamala So there's
this new book out. A frantic behind the scenes lobbying
led to that decision, whether or not Biden genuinely made
it himself. Why wasn't it reported at the time that
Joe Biden had Kamala Harris beg for his endorsement. Wouldn't
(21:25):
that have been interesting? Wouldn't you have liked to know that?
Wouldn't Democrat voters have liked.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
To know that.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Give me the play by play of that conversation between
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris when he tells her that
he's dropping out of the race.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Biden calls Jim.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Cliburn, Yeah, go ahead, sorry the sound by pause.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Who's in South Carolina, I believe, celebrating his birthday and
tells him and says, listen, I've got a statement I'm
going to get out. And he reads the statement and
Cliburn goes, there's a problem with your statement. Binds like,
what is it? And he goes, you don't mention Kamala Harris.
You're going to have to endorse her, and Biden says, well,
you know, yeah, I'm gonna leave. I'll eventually endorse her,
(22:04):
but I'm gonna leave my statement as is. And Cliburn's
like freaking out. He's like, I don't know what to do.
He wants to be able to endorse Kamala Harris himself immediately.
He needs Biden to get out of the race. Before
he can do that, He's got a five thirty PM
phone call set up with Barack Obama. He knows Obama's
going to push him to support this, you know, this
(22:25):
contested primary, open convention idea, and he wants to be
able to tell Obama to go pounce sand So in
order to do that, he has to have already endorsed
Harris himself. So ultimately that's what what Cliburn does, and
it's ultimately Biden does. Biden puts out the first statement,
then about half an hour later, he puts out the second.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, I'm sorry to pause it right here. Isn't it interesting?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
These are NBC news and political reporters telling you inside information,
deeply detailed, vividly detailed information about what was going on
behind the scenes. Because they knew. Why didn't they say
anything at the time. Do you think they didn't know
in twenty nineteen that his brain was broken when he
announced his presidency. Hell, they probably knew it in twenty
(23:09):
sixteen when Hillary Clinton was going to run and lost
all back back then. One of the reasons that Hillary
was picked before Joe is because of Joe's cognitive decline.
It's odd to think there is a chance, almost a
chance in hell, we could have gotten Biden twice. Could
you imagine if Biden had ran in twenty sixteen instead
(23:30):
of Hillary and Barack Obama was out on the campaign
trail with him, and he wasn't quite as slow as
he is now. I think he was quite a bit
more articulate back then. There is a chance he could
have won in twenty sixteen and maybe even twenty twenty.
Thank God for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Hey, it's me the Donald. You're listening to the Pursuit
of Happiness radio.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Voice from the Radio Games.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
The White House Correspondence Association has decided I did not
to have a comedian this year at the White House
Correspondents Association dinner, you know, the what do they call
it in Washington, d c. They refer to it as
the nerd prom That's their cute way of suggesting all
the journalists are just innocent nerds who want the best.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But anyway, I guess this year they decided not to have.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
A comedian because the comedian they chose said she was
just going to make fun of Trump. She wouldn't make
fun of any Democrats. It wouldn't be appropriate to have
a comedian performed this year, they said. I also think
it's possible it's because no joke could possibly be as
funny as the White House Correspondents Association itself an organization
that's become completely hilarious over the last few months. But
(24:41):
I digress. Here's something that's not funny. Violence in public schools.
You probably live in Texas if you're listening to this
radio show, which means is a pretty good chance you're
a Texas taxpayer, and certainly someone that votes in Texas elections,
and probably somebody who has a lot of opinions about
school choice. Now, the easiest argument about school choice I
(25:02):
always thought was, wouldn't be nice if the parents got
to decide how their own money was spent on their
children's education. School choice isn't for rich kids. No, No,
rich kids don't need it. They can go to private school.
They don't need a subsidy, they don't need a voucher. No,
it's for normal, average people who are on a fixed income,
people that don't necessarily have ten extra thousand dollars they
(25:23):
can spend on their children's elementary or high school level
education each year. So they end up sending their kids
to public school. And if you send your kids to
public school, you don't have a choice. Liberals will tell
you they hate monopolies unless it's the government, and then
they're fine with it. There's a new story from this
past week. I apparently this was a pretty big story.
I got to admit I missed this one. It is
(25:44):
from a school district known as the Hurst Eullis Bedford
ISD Independent School District. This is a Dallas Fort Worth
area and this is a racially provocative video in vividly
demonstrating a black student beating the snot out of a
white kid. And it's hard to watch as the fight
(26:06):
is taking place. A lot of people are just standing
around watching, including a teacher that appears to be holding
a coffee cup. At one point, the black student punches
the white kid in the face so hard he loses
a tooth. There's a lot of questions here. Why is
the fight happening? Why is no one doing anything about it?
Why do is this become just par for the course?
(26:27):
Now and from the latest report I just read on
this at Current Revolt dot com, a news outlet I
recommend you all subscribe to.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
No charges have been filed. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Now again, I just learned about this story, but this
is pretty wild stuff. Tony Ortiz is here right now
from Current Revolt dot com. Tony, this basically happened in
your part of the state. You live in DFWR, this
is your community where this took place at.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Yeah, it's a it's a school district that's just between
Fort Worth and Dallas, right right, just right outside airport,
just west of the AIRPORTFW Airport.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
And it's pretty brutal. The video blew up around seven
million views on on x or Twitter right, and it
shows it shows a black student mounted on top of
a white student and just beating the heck out of him.
And and the the white student on his back isn't
even like really defending himself. He's putting his hands up
to try to block the punches, but it's not working.
(27:23):
And in one point it does look like a tooth
goes flying out of his mouth. And the meanwhile, all
of the students are watching, some are laughing and screaming,
and two teachers, uh are are at least at least
it looks like it's mostly just watching. One teacher with glasses.
He's just using one of his hands to kind of
(27:44):
lightly touch the black student to try to stop him.
Another student or sorry, another teacher with his giant gut
is holding his coffee cup while he's using his other
free hand to just lightly touch the black students like hey,
you know, stop that, until finally another teacher just just
picks up the black student, just removes him off of
(28:06):
the white students, and before he does, the black student
gets one final kick into the skull of the white
student while he's on the floor, and it's brutal. It's
one of the probably one of the worst fight videos
I've seen in school. And you know, you know, I
grew up in Chicago in Indiana, so I went to
an Indiana public school. And I got into two fights
(28:29):
when I was in public school, both resulting in suspension.
So it wasn't the safest school, so to say, But
this one was brutal, and it was so bad in
the national at tension. Okay, So I attended the first
school board meeting following that fight, which was last night,
and I anticipated a lot of angry at parents, a
(28:51):
lot of questions, people wanting to hold the district accountable,
wondering why the teachers really weren't involved. Of all that,
parents showed up with some that didn't even have students
at the school where the incident happened. Okay, the first
parent we spoke to blamed it on white on black racism,
(29:13):
which didn't really make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
It's why, Yeah, the black kid, the white kid said
something that was racially provocative.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Is that what they're suggesting. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
She claimed that the whole thing was a result of
white on black racism and kind of almost almost insinuated that,
like it was deserved or an appropriate response.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You know, that's not a common thing that people will say, Well,
he said the N word, he deserved to get punched,
And to anybody out there, look, I don't like the
N word. I didn't grow up around it. But just
so we're clear here, the common sense would dictate, in
a world filled with violence and disease and war and
pestilence and plague and theft and rape, if your parents
(29:53):
raised you to become triggered by hearing a word, a
seemingly innoculous word, and that word causes you to either
lash out violently or curl up into the fetal position,
your parents are not qualified to raise children. It's not
the person saying the N word that's a fault here,
although you know, I don't endorse that the reaction is
the fault of the parent. That's unbelievable, Tony, who is
(30:17):
this person that seemed to indorse the violence?
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Well, she again, she didn't endorsed the violence, but she's
just was kind of like, well, it's she almost sees
way that it was an appropriate response, right, And I
agree with you, like the word should never be used, right,
but a response to the word being you shouldn't be
almost almost murdering, almost seemingly murdering another child, Like it's
just insane to me.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
And I was thinking about this the other day.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Right, It's like people that like Luigi Mangione, people that
indorse his violence, would have no moral objection to lying
about being raped if they thought it would prevent someone
from getting onto the Supreme Court or somebody from getting
elected to it. There is a group of people on
the left Whoten work in public school positions that are
(31:02):
very okay with violence if it suits the means to
help satisfy their narrative. And it really makes me uneasy
knowing that these people work in public schools.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Absolutely. I mean, it's the same people that will support
or endorse the violence where you've got what these fire
bombings happening in Tesla the car dealers, right, and these
tesla's getting murdered, and and then you recently had a UTD.
You had a transgender student smack the head of a
TPUSA student with a bike lock and was arrested for it,
(31:33):
and I went on the I went onto the UTD
reddit for them, and all the students work saying, oh,
this is a justified response because the student was a
Republican and they're very annoying, Like it's okay to it's
okay to bust ahead of another student if they're a Republican,
and if they're annoyed if I find.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Them, I think Pokemon is annoying?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Am I allowed to violently attack people that costplay at
Harry Potter conventions?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I mean, well, if I find that.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
In a Republican you would be you know so, the.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Moral compass of liberals is so bizarre. I do not
I cannot wrap mine. No matter how far I think
the right goes to the right, sometimes it's it's it's
never as far as the left is willing to go.
It's not even close.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Yeah, you can't coexist with in a society, or at
least an appropriate society, with people who believe these sorts
of responses are appropriate. So but but back to the story.
So we interviewed her, right, and then another woman came
by and she was not happy with what happened at all,
but she claimed that everybody was a victim, and we
were like, what do you what do you mean? She's like, oh,
(32:35):
even even the black students of victim, the white students
of victim, the teachers are victims, and even the students
watching this unfold were victims. And it is just like
it was almost like some hippie stuff like I just
didn't I didn't connect, but I was just like, okay,
And then.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
How do you talk to that person that's so weird?
Like all right, this is weird.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
And then we talked to another gentleman who who appropriately identified, like, yeah,
this is a problem that the black students that guilt
here clearly in the video. You know. He's like, I'm
not gonna suggest maybe what happened or what triggered it,
but either way, this wasn't an appropriate response. The teachers were
horrible and how they reacted, and that was the That
was the common sentiment with the four parents that showed up.
(33:15):
Nobody was happy with the teacher's response. Right, you had
this giant beer gut teacher who just held his coffee
cup while watching another student just beat the junk out
of another student, and like it didn't take much to
just bear hug the kid and not telling the teachers
to like get physically involved or or or fight to
(33:35):
the other students, like just put your arms around him
and pull them off, Like that's not it's not a
violent response to this. But you know, I almost I
almost kind of understand why teachers are so hesitant to this,
because the minute a teacher gets involved in something potentially
racially charged like this, the teacher could be called himself
could be called a racist. You're you're attacking a black student,
(33:56):
You're stopping a black student, like why didn't you stop
the white student, even though the white students one getting humbled.
So it was very it was very shocking actually to
see this because I highly anticipated a lot more angry
parents show up for this sort of thing, especially something
that made national news.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
None of the parents you had kids showed up, none
of the there's no lawsuits nothing.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
No, there's no way that that video results in no
law enforcement getting involved.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
That video is insane.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
I mean, the police put out a statement, but it
left out it was a rather weird statement, and it
had more it gave more questions than answers, to be honest,
And you know, I didn't even see black parents come
out to defend the black students, like there was nobody there.
There was actually I didn't even see black parents there
at all, despite I think the district is like forty
percent black.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Racist people listening to the show will respond to what
you just said and say, well, why would the black
parents show up? And I just want to say, I
don't endorse those comments. Shame on anyone listening to this
radio show that would make a comment like that.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Oh man. But like you know, in fact, what was
more more people showed up. More people showed up for
the like announcement of a music program, then then showed
up for this this fight incident. More engineers and contractors
showed up to make sure that their contracting bids kind
(35:21):
of proved. Then parents showed up for this fighting incident.
So it was it was very disturbing, and I'm frankly,
I'm quite disappointed with the parents of AGB.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
So look, I watched the same video you watched. I
watched it right before we did this segment. I couldn't
believe my eyes, and I asked the question, why doesn't
a teacher get involved? And so as I was sitting
here listening to you explain this to me, I'm just
click click click on my keyboard. I stumble across this
one year ago, roughly one year ago, a news story
from the Orange Stark Middle School. This would be Orange
(35:54):
is SD and Orange, Texas. I believe the locals pronounced
it orange. And it is a new story about a
middle school teacher saying he was forced to resign because
he broke up a fight between two students. Now, same state,
same laws, same curriculum standards. I got to think, the
way that a teacher is expected to conduct themselves in Orange,
(36:14):
Texas is not terribly difficult or different from the way
that a teacher would be expected to conduct themselves in Bedford,
Texas at Harwood Junior High where this took place at.
I don't remember. Look, I you know again, it's not
the same thing. But I grew up in a small
Midwest town and I don't ever remember ever seeing some
kid just getting violently beat like that while everyone in
(36:36):
the school watches and no one doing anything. Has the
world changed since then? Was that more just I lived
in a smaller town. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Yeah, I see in the fights that I got in
school when I was in high school. But you know,
the fight goes on for a tiny bit and once
it starts to escalate, people pull you off. Like it
wasn't even teachers in my incident that pulls off to
his friends of each other, that pulled each other off
of one another. That just stopped us from fighting. Right,
And but in this instant, like you can you can
see the video, you see students in the background laughing
(37:08):
and cheering. Everybody of course has their phone out of course, right,
And to your question like, yeah, what happened to society?
Like where are the why are the students protecting each
other or stopping this from happening? Right, They're more concerned
with getting likes and views from whatever video they capture.
And you know, the most discussed I keep going back
(37:28):
to it, but the most disgusting thing is this teacher
holding his coffee mug while watching about using one hand
to gently stop, try to caress the black student to stop,
and it's like you're a man, you know what I mean,
Like you're a man, You're a grown man. Like at minimum,
put the coffee cup down, and maybe try to like
(37:49):
hold his hands or at least put yourself in between
the punches or something, right like something. But but no,
he's more concerned about his starbucks. I guess it's just depressing.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
It is pretty dude. Hey, speaking of violence, where was this?
I guess all over the DFW area, you guys had
protests at the Tesla dealerships over the weekend. Dana Lash,
friend of the show, was saying, how I was reading
a thread on her x account about protests at the
Tesla dealership in South Lake, kind of an affluent suburb
(38:20):
of Fort Worth, And according to the report there, I
read that right at noon, was it Saturday or Sunday?
Right at noon, all the protesters left like they were
getting paid to be there until twelve o'clock and then
right when.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
The But that wasn't the only thing over the weekend
in your area, was it?
Speaker 5 (38:36):
No?
Speaker 6 (38:36):
We also had, you know, we also had there was
a big meeting actually yesterday about the epic epic town
that they're trying to build. There is a community that's
being pushed to kind of in the northeast part of Dallas,
and it's being built by a Muslim builder builder. It's
supposed to be a Muslim only community, and you know,
(38:58):
I think we kind of you and I talked about
this last week, like, actually, don't. I don't as a
conservative and a Republican really don't have a problem with
other people's religions, Like I'm mostly okay with them, right
provided they don't. You know, it's kind of a libertannything.
Don't step on me, right, Like sure that they don't
get step into my life, right. But the problem with
this build out, and if you go to their website is,
(39:19):
at least last time I checked it, it specifically says
they won't sell property or homes to anybody that doesn't
follow their values, which is basically just saying, hey, we're
not going to sell property to anybody who's not a
fellow Muslim.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
I have a problem with that. And where on that
topic you listen to this SoundBite. I want I want
your reaction to this. Tony Ortiz epic for those that
are curious, EPIC City stands for East Plano Islamic Center.
I don't understand any of the jokes he's telling in
this SoundBite because I don't speak Arabic. But he's making
a point here about how they're going to try to
import Muslims from around the world to live in Epic City.
Speaker 9 (39:55):
No question that Epic has become a global community, a
global community wherever I go. I was in Scandinavia, somebody
came up to me, an elderly man.
Speaker 10 (40:05):
I thought he's gonna shake my hand. He goes, no, no,
give my salam to Stad. Barjura said, okay, Yola Hallas
Habibiu stad Hellas they'll go to Habibiu stad in Scandinavia
will lie A man came, you don't even forget Ystad.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
I want to know. Okay, I'm la.
Speaker 10 (40:21):
I'm not even joking. Wherever I go our epic city
that we announced here, people are so excited around the world.
I was getting phone calls from people in Europe. They
want to move to America because they're hearing of our
programs here.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Okay, So Tony ortiz Uh, much like you, I don't
have a problem with an hoa community that doesn't allow
thong bikinis at the public pool. Whatever that's you know,
that's for them to decide what they want to do.
But these guys are talking about importing people from other
countries in order to fill out I do have an
issue with that. I would say, I don't think we
should import people to America that don't believe in American
(40:57):
values and customs. And yet that's exactly what this here's
to be. The practice appears to be beyond their business.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
Model and going further again, it's discriminatory. They specifically sit
on the site that they will not sell property to
anybody who does not align with their values. And as
far as I'm aware, there's Texas code that prevents the
sort of discriminatory practices against religion, race, gender, ethnicity, all
(41:24):
that good stuff. And they're open there. They're very publicly
stating that they're going to do that. And so there
was a big meeting last yesterday and Colin County about this,
and I know that the Attorney General is involved in
investigating them. The governor, Greg Abbott has also made a
statement about it. So it's a problem. And here let
me tell you this, if you had any other religious
(41:44):
group trying to do something like this, people would be
freaking out. If you had Mormons trying to create a
Mormon only community, they were publicly stating it, people would
be calling them a cult. If you had Catholics doing
it like a Catholic only community, people would be called
them like a million different types of words. If you
had a community that was just white people would try
(42:05):
and openly stating we're only going to sell property to
white people, it would be shut down before it even
left the ground, right, But for some reason, this Muslim
community can get away with at least being very publicly
discriminatory and the left defending this. Of course, of course
the defending right. So it's just crazy.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Here in the Houston area, we have a community called
meyer Land, and people from Houston immediately know what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
This is where the Jewish people live.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Right years ago, river Oaks, a historically wealthy neighborhood in
the Houston, Texas area. Old money would be the term
you'd use to describe it. Had a gentleman's agreement, as
they referred to it, that excluded Blacks and Jews, which
is the whole reason Meyerland exists. If you were Jewish,
you had a little money, you weren't welcome in river Oaks.
I'm just going to climb out on a limb here
and guess at Epic City, if I want to put
(42:55):
up a manora in my front yard, that's probably not
going to be allowed. But it certainly sounds like that
would be illegal to me, Tony. I gotta think them,
at what point do the liberals. It's so weird how
Jewish people always tend to be liberal Democrats and they'll
just look the other way at this stuff.
Speaker 6 (43:11):
Yeah, I don't get it. It's it's very strange the
liberals will defend So I come from a back when
I was younger, I remember like the liberal and the
atheist community specifically like hated religion, and they specifically hated
Islam the most because it was the most violent and
(43:32):
all this stuff. This is like the atheist community in
liberal world right, and it's completely reversed now the like
liberal atheists will will bend over backwards to develop to
defend Islam and another religious organizations provided that they're like
anti Christianity and anti white people specifically, Like that's the
that's the like.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Term that they need.
Speaker 6 (43:51):
Like if as long as a group and it doesn't
matter what group it is, as long as they're not white,
and they hate Christians, and they especially hate Republicans. Liberals
will bend over back word to to send them. And
it's the oddest thing. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
I don't get it either, Tony Ortiz.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
You know what else I don't get People that don't
