The Giganic government sucks. The suit of happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Or a suit
of happiness us on your radio toel just as cheeseburgers, libery,
rise at the food.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
All right, all right, all right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
According to a new survey, sixty one percent of Americans
would agree to have a corporate sponsored wedding with their spouse.
If I had known that, I would have had mind
sponsored by bourbon in prozac. Don't laugh at that. Hi, everybody,
thanks for turning on your radio. You know who's here
this afternoon, Daniel Turner from Powerthefuture dot com. That's a
(00:46):
website for people that work in the oil and gas industry.
But we won't be talking specifically about that. We're gonna
talk about Charlie Kirk his birthdays today. It's also George
Floyd's birthday. That won't be the main focus of the
topic of the conversation. But we're gonna get into what's
going on at the DOJ, the FBI investigation into his death.
It's going to get a little weird. Some of you
may be offended. That's your problem, not mine. With all
(01:08):
that being said, indicted, Letsia James is housed. Oh and
before I forget, Brandon Waltons will be here from texascorecard
dot Com. Yesterday, the people that run the Alamo did
something that would probably piss you off.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We'll tell you what it is. Stick around, we'll get
to it soon. Before we get to that.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
New York State Attorney General Letitia James, she's in a
little bit of trouble right now. She's being investigated for
bank fraud and mortgage fraud, and apparently she's housed her
fugitive relative in her Virginia house for five years. The
underfire prosecutor's grand niece, Nakia Thompson, has been living with
her three children in Letitia's three bedroom property in Norfolks
(01:48):
since twenty twenty. It's now been revealed that Thompson is
officially listed as an absconder.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ooh, that's a dirty word. What does that mean.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
She's wanted by authorities in Forsyth County, North cait Carolina
for failing to finish her probation, and the Attorney General
of the State of New York has been housing her
in a home that she lied to a mortgage company
and said it was her primary residence.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Her primary residence is in New York, which she also
claimed was her primary residence. Starting to notice some common
denominators here, guys. You know it's interesting. The Virginia home
at the center of the mortgage fraud indictment against New
York attorney Letitia James is home to a criminal, according
to Breitbart dot Com reading in a report right now,
(02:36):
and the story is just so interesting. October ninth, James
gets indicted by a Virginia grand jury in a case
related to a mortgage she took out at her home
in Virginia, and according to the indictment, she received more
favorable mortgage rates when she claimed that this was her home,
that it would not be used as her second home,
and mortgage rates are higher for those who intend to
(02:58):
rent the property out, which is what she appears to
be doing. She said she was going to live there.
She's not living there. Even more outrageous is the fact
that the top law enforcement officer in the New York
state appears to be renting the house to a fugitive.
The fugitive status is based on misdemeanor convictions in North
Carolina for assault and battery and trespassing so it's not like,
(03:19):
you know, she just failed to wear a seat belt
or something. These convictions come with a sentence of probation.
Instead of meeting the conviction the conditions of her probation.
She fled the state. If she's found in North Carolina,
she'll be arrested.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So if the indictment proves true, the New York Attorney
General committed a crime by lying on a mortgage application
and is basically harboring a fugitive from justice.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And honestly, this appears to be the least.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Of her mortgage sins. This is only one of more
to come. There's two other properties that she committed mortgage
fraud on, according to a forensic accountant with information privy
to the story. Here's a little audio as reported by
Well here, I'll just plan.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Joining us now. Forensic account and Sam Mantar, the man
who uncovered this all at the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You broke this open.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
It has gone all the way to the top to
the doj Letician James has now been indicted again. Sam
as I said, I'm not celebrating this like oh yeah, yeah, great,
thank god. That's not what this is about. This is
about someone doing something allegedly wrong and getting caught.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So walk us through it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'll walk you through it. First of all, she owns
three Can I just interrupt him right here? He's going
to go on to tell you there's more mortgage fraud
on the way. I am saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good.
But at the same time, you have to remind yourself
the problem with lawfair in this country. It's not just
the New York Attorney General or the district attorney down
in Atlanta. It's so much deeper than that. It's there
(04:45):
is a rot an infestation in our FBI right now,
in our DOJ right now. People that work under Trump,
remember January sixth, FBI agents on the ground that happened
while Trump was president. Those guys were clearly again him.
While Trump was president, members of the FBI staged a
fake kidnapping of the Michigan government. We're going to talk
(05:06):
about that in the next segment, but just wrapping up
the topic here with Letitia. She is a terrible person.
Latitia James ran on the Stalinist promise to abuse her
office to destroy Trump. That was what she said over
and over again on the campaign trail. That was her promise.
And that case blew up in her face on appeal.
Now it looks as though she is serially guilty of
(05:28):
the same criminal events she used to try to destroy Trump,
as well as shielding a relative from justice. It's really
gotten to a point where there's nothing a Democrat can
do even all of this and not be protected by
the Democrat Party and the Confederates and the fake news media.
Here's CNN in twenty nineteen. Listen to this with New.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
York charges residential mortgage s braad among them, one of
the most serious. So he's looking at one to three
years minimum, eight to twenty five years maximum. These are
huge ranges, but those would be inescapable. Right, there's nothing
a president can do to pardon on a state charge.
James is there and.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Hang on a second. So that's twenty nineteen. That's that
is a one of the top anchors. It's CNN in
twenty nineteen. Here's the same woman this week.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
James is the first Attorney General of New York to
be indicted by the Justice Department, and it follows a
nearly six month investigation into claims of mortgage fraud. Now
that is a charge the United States Justice Department rarely
brings against individuals, but of course James is not an
ordinary individual. Trump considers her an enemy after she sued
him in twenty twenty two, accusing Trump of lying about
(06:32):
his real estate empire and the inflating the value of
his property.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
No, it sounds like the same thing she did. And
then amazing. The only principle guiding these wretched people is
hate for normal people. If it wasn't for double standards,
they'd have no standards at all.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I thought this was America, This is America. I thought
this was America. Pursuit of happiness radio.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Isn't it odd how coincidences happened? And we have to
assume they're just incidences. But sometimes they are a little
too coincidental, a little too COINCIDENTE if you will, thank you.
I know it's not a word, but Charlie Kirk died today. No,
I'm sorry. Charlie Kirk's birthday was today. It's been a
month ish since he died, and it's also George Floyd's birthday. Now,
(07:16):
one of those days is very important to the left.
One of those days is very important to the right.
One of these guys was murdered in cold blood because
he was going out engaging in polite conversation, polite debate
with the opposite end.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
With his ideological and theological opposites.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
The other guy died because, and I know this is uncomfortable,
and I want to be real objective on this, George
Floyd died because he mixed heroin and fentanyl and then
started to overdose as he was passing a bad check along.
And then a police officer who probably overreacted while dealing
with him, didn't allow a first responder to administer aid
as George Floyd was dying. By the way, that's the
(07:58):
thing everybody gets wrong. George Floyd, that kneeling on his
neck had nothing to do with his death. I'm gonna
repeat that because I think it bears repeating, as a
guy that watched the whole trial and read the transcripts
and found the defense's own witness put somebody on the
stand who admitted in front of the jury that Derek Chauvin,
the police officer, didn't allow a first responder to administer
(08:21):
aid to George Floyd. That is why he died. Didn't
have anything to do with the kneeling on the neck.
I'm sorry, it just didn't. Still, he let him die
and he went to prison. And you know, I know
that's not the explanation conservatives or liberals want to hear,
but it's the truth, and isn't that the only thing
that matters? So today, Erica Kirk and Donald Trump are
having a tribute to Charlie for his birthday. And if
(08:43):
Erica briefly smiles, will some people out there be able
to contain their outrage their far fetched conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I know I'm throwing a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Of hand grenades here in the opening segment of the show,
saying things both liberals and conservatives won't like. But hey,
that's the kind of show this is, isn't it, Daniel
Turner from Power the Future dot com?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It is?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
And that's why we love you, and that's why your
ratings is through the roof, because you know, we hear
all the time. We need to have a conversation about X,
Y or Z, we need to have a conversation about race,
We need to have a conversation about healthcare. Well do
you really want to have a conversation because conversations can
get messy and ugly, but let's have the conversation. So
good for you for going where you would want to venture.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Okay, So with all that being said, there are people
that were friends with Charlie Kirk that are willing to
that wanted to say things that some find controversial. One
of those people is is Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson speculates
that something weird happened with Charlie Kirk's death and that's
why the FBI rushed through the investigation so quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Here's a SoundBite from a recent interview. Help kill Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
I've really tried not to publicly speculate or say anything
that I can't pretty.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's smart.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
I love Charlie and I to his wife this morning.
I love his wife and Erica, and I don't want
to make worse.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Here's all I'll say.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
If the FBI and the authorities in Utah and this
investigation by declaring Tyler Robinson a lone gunman with no
accomplices whatsoever, without having done a truly exhaustive investigation, that
will not be adequate.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I want to trust the FBI.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
There's no reason to trust the FBI at all. They've
been caught acting in bad faith and conducting what I
consider crimes, so many times, lying so many times.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
All Right, So what Tucker Carlson is saying is he
feels like the investigation into the Charlie Kirk assassin was
rushed and they came to the conclusion that he acted
alone quite quickly. I'm not going to speculate that it
was Israel or the Jews or I don't know. I
find that to be a little far fetched. But does
he have a point there, Daniel?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
I think he has a point in the fact that
the FBI has been caught acting in bad faith. And
this is a government organization and the people who pay
for it, meaning the taxpayers, have a right to the
fullness of truth. So, for example, you take something awful
like the Jason Alden concert massacre in Las Vegas. Right,
(11:07):
there's things that the FBI knows about that that they
just are not telling the American people, And I think
the American people have a right to know. And there
are other instances like that that make you plant these
seeds of doubt in the FBI and whether or not
they actually act in good faith or tell us the truth.
So he is right that the American people are skeptical
(11:28):
of our government organizations and clearly in the Biden administration, right,
the FBI was going after Catholics who go to Latin
maths and moms who go to you know, school choice
community meetings at the school board. But I'm with you.
I don't want to take it into the extent of
it was aliens. Right. We're pretty confident it was aliens
(11:51):
and that's who killed Charlie Kirk. And the FBI is
not going to tell us because they're also part of
the alien conspiracy. Right, So I hate to think, like, oh, look,
let's find another example to play. So the seeds of
doubt on the FBI. They've done enough damage of himself.
But I think Charlie has a right to rest in
(12:11):
peace and hesitant when anyone's like, actually, I know who
killed Charlie Kirk, and you all are blind to the machine.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, I'm with you. It's one thing to be a
little skeptical. It's another thing to immediately say, oh, it's
Net and Yahoo, like hang on a minute. Net and
Yahoo radicalized this guy in Utah and got him interested
in tranny porn and then introduced him to a furry
and the two of them felt insulted by Charlie Kirk.
So it's like, boy, there's an awful lot of things
that had to happen here to lead up to this,
(12:41):
for Israel to do it while they were in the
middle of three wars.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But I digress. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
The Israel's not perfect either. That's besides the point. Let's
talk a little bit more about the DOJ for a minute,
because I think what's happening right now with Letitia up
in New York State, the New York Attorney General being
prosecuted and investigated.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I find that very interesting.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Some might argue, going back to the Charlie Kirk thing,
that oh, this is Donald Trump's FBI, they could do
no wrong. I might remind you it was Donald Trump's
FBI when there were undercover FBI agents on the ground
at January sixth, Regardless of who's president, can you ever
really trust the FBI?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
And in this sense, I agree with Tucker that they
have done a lot to act in bad faith, and
we have a unique opportunity here to clean house. So,
for example, there were FBI agents who hatched the brilliant
plot what if we got a bunch of lunatics online
and tried to convince them to kidnap the governor of Michigan,
and it sort of worked. A bunch of crazy people
(13:42):
did think, hey, this is a good idea, and they
started the planet. But now you realize the real planners,
the real orchestrators, the advent of this idea all started
with the FBI. Well, someone has to get to the
bottom of that and say, like, you can't work here anymore. Right,
someone has to get to the bottom of who organized
the meeting to say, you know what, agent, special agent
(14:06):
Kenny Webster, let's start tracking all the guys who go
to Latin Mass in northern Virginia. Right, Like, no one
at that board meeting was like, hang on, I'm sorry,
what am I doing today? Yes, you are going to
go on Sunday to the Latin Mass ten o'clock at
Saint Sebastian and you're going to make a list of
all the men who go to that mass because they're
potential terrorists. Right, someone had that idea. That person needs
(14:29):
to be held accountable until the FBI cleaned house with
those people and tells us who they are. Like, maybe
you don't have to call if the name, but you
have to say the five agents who said we are
going to track homeschool moms. Those agents have been dismissed.
So until there's cleaning house, the FBI is going to
always be a little bit in doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I would prefer the DOJ and the FBI clean house
more than I want them to get retribution for the
lawfair from the last four years. That being said, Daniel
both would be nice. US Attorney for Eastern District of Virginia,
Lindsay Halligan announced last week that the federal grand jury
is indicting Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, for
bank fraud and making false statements to financial institutions. As
(15:14):
most people probably already know, this is a woman who
tried to prosecute Donald Trump for what over evaluating how
much Mara a Lago was worth in a Deutsche Bank loan,
which they had no issue with and he already paid back.
And yesterday she was with mom Donnie, the guy running
for New York City mayor. They were in Washington Heights
declaring that they will get back at Trump for this indictment.
(15:37):
If everybody this is kind of like Israel and Hamas,
if everybody always thinks that it's retaliation, does it ever end?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
No, exactly, and it's it's really not lawfair in this case,
it's not lawfair. The wold accountable those people who weaponize
the DOJ, those people who you know who are the
agents who decided we're going to listen to nine Republican
senators cell phone calls because we're worried that their Russian spies, right, right,
(16:04):
But they went through none of the necessary processes to
do that and.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Didn't prove that they were.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
By the way, it wasn't like they were.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Prosecuting those folks. Is not law fair. That is getting
back to neutral. But yes, exactly, this is exactly why
people like mom Damie are a threat to our democracy.
To use their phrase, because his response is we're going
to get back at you, right, and that's what we
have to look forward to. That's what you and I
have to look forward to. There there will be a
day we're going to lose power and they're not going
(16:34):
to be nice with it. They're not going to say, well, hey,
we didn't like what Power the Future was doing, or
we didn't like what Kenny Webster was saying on the air.
They will come back at us tenfold because that's who
they are. So yeah, I think we have to uproot
and clean house and make institutional changes so this weaponization
stops forever. You know. The simplest example of that, Kenny,
(16:56):
is not the DOJAA, the FBI, but a little tiny
story that barely made media attention last week when it
came out that the GSA was putting people on the
no fly list if they refused to wear a mask.
I wrote about it in an op ed. The no
fly list was from Muslim terrorists, or the no fly
list was to keep people out of planes who crashed
(17:17):
planes into buildings as part of their fanatical religious belief.
And here's little cub Scout peak Buddha Jeedge at the
Transportation Agency saying Kenny Webster doesn't want to get a
vaccine and wear a mask. Well, guess what no flylist
for you. That's a weaponization of government that needs to
be uprooted and people need to be held accountable.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
In the meantime, I have noticed there been a handful
of conservatives that have kind of ironically and just said
that they hoped that mom Donnie wins. One of those
people with Scott Bessend to the US Treasury Secretary. Another
was George well, and I kind of agree with them.
I don't have to live in New York City. If
New York City experiments with government operated grocery stores and
(17:58):
they're shocked when it's not as nice as Trader Joe's,
is that going to help teach the rest of the
country a valuable lesson about Marxism that most of us
learned back at the in the eighties or the nineties
when the Cold War was still going on.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yeah, I have to politely disagree with you there. I
never think you win by losing a lot of people
have said, like, good, this will be good for New
York because they'll see how bad it is and then
they'll pivot back. That's kind of where we are with
the government shut down in Obamacare. Right once they see
how lousy it is, then they'll wish they never got it. Well,
we're fourteen years after Obamacare. It's costing us a fortune.
(18:35):
We've shut down the government because we cut off the subsidies.
Obamacare is still with us, and there's still a party
that is wedded to it for their political future. And
so that was an issue that we lost and we're
still losing. So I understand the idea there but I
don't think Americans learned that way. I think you learned
(18:55):
that way when you go to war, right, I think
you learned that way off after. I think COVID maybe
taught us like, I'm not going to trust government shutdowns anymore.
But when you get when those people get power and
they make transformational changes, as barackobt Obama said, where you're
going to transform, radically transform America, that transformation isn't easily undone,
(19:18):
and it just does long lasting damage to the soul
of the country. That's what Obama did, That's what Biden did.
Undoing that is painful, painful work.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Still, it would be funny to watch. I mean, we want,
we want.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
We once cut Korea in half, and fifty years later
we noticed that in the north end of the peninsula
they were six inches shorter than in the south end
of the peninsula. What exactly was that invisible line dividing? Again,
I think it was capitalism and communism, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Yes, But you know they, oh, well, then they'll just
say that wasn't real communism. They do, well, that wasn't
that wasn't real so venezuela, that wasn't real socialism, Right,
East Germany. That wasn't real Cuba, that wasn't real socialism.
Mondami is playing the game intellectual socialists have played since Marx. Right.
It's failed everywhere, but only because they just didn't implement
it right, you give him. Elizabeth Warren plays the same game.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Right.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
The reason why banking reform didn't work is because it
wasn't done right. Give me more power to reform those
big banks, and by golly, I will reform those banks.
The socialist never looks at their mistake and says, wow,
we really screwed the pooch there. They just say, this
was an opportunity for you to give me more money,
surrender more of your rights, and this time I'll make
(20:30):
it work, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Daniel Turner, Power of the Future.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Last question, which song on the new Taylor Swift album
Life of Showgirl is your most favorite?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I couldn't name. The last Taylor Swift song I can
name is her country song Mean And I think she
was like nineteen and it's kind of a good country
song that you hear on the radio all the time.
I don't know a damn Taylor Swift song. I'm not
really a pop music fan. I will say this is
a funny little anecdote. I only listen to country stations
(21:01):
when I'm in the car, and besides talk radio, of course,
and I have never heard a Beyonce song on talk
radio on country radio stations in my life. And she
has Record of the Year for Country. They played that,
They played that Texas hold them for about a week
and a half until everyone realized it's crap, right, And
so it just makes me laugh. If you don't think
(21:22):
that there's THEI in every industry, Beyonce has no right
winning any record for country music. Can't go more than
a traffic light without here in another jelly roll song.
But Beyonce with Record of the Year. I can't name
one of her songs either.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Well, look Taylor Swift, Beyonce, who's the other one? Machine Gun,
Kelly post Malone.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
We could probably do another segment on this, but let's
just agree that modern country is crap. Daniel Turner is
a savant of the energy industry, and hey, we got
to get you back soon to talk about the cost
of oil.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And gas going down. We didn't even get to that
today anytime.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
But we're about to run out of time. Daniel Turner
Powerthefuture dot Com found him on x.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I thought this was America. This is America, America Pursuit
of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Today is be bald and b Free Day, or, as
William Shanner calls it, Tuesday. Hi, welcome back, everybody. I'm Kenny,
You're you. It's good to be here with you. Brandon
Walton's coming buy in the next segment to talk about
what just happened at the Alamo, and a long list
of lawsuits filed by Ken Paxton over the past week,
most of which you're gonna love before we get to
(22:30):
any of that. Breitbart dot Com today reporting on polling
data comparing Donald Trump in his second term to where
Obama was at in this term. You're gonna love this.
The corporate media, all of academia, all of Hollywood, have
spent billions and billions of dollars over a full decade
smearing a man, calling him hitler, and now that one
man has a higher approval rating than their own, precious
(22:52):
Barack Obama. From the spin we hear from the regime media,
you'd think Trump's job approval rating was in some kind
of freefall. The media is hoping with this dishonest spend.
They can convince you to disapprove of Trump in a
preference cascade, but as is always the case with the
liars in the media, all context and truth has been
(23:14):
removed to push a fake narrative. Today we look at
real clear politics. It's the poll of poll they say,
the polls, the pollster's poll, and they are comparing Trump's
approval ratings to the approval ratings of Obama, George W. Bush,
and all the other presidents at this point in his
second term. Since Joe Biden is a one term president,
he's not on the list. Trump currently enjoys a higher
(23:37):
approval job rating of average job approval rating than both
of his predecessors. As of today, his average job approval
rating is a pretty healthy forty five point three percent.
Comparing that to Obama today was forty four percent, right four,
forty five point three higher than forty four George Bush
today would have been at thirty nine point five percent.
(24:00):
What this once again tells us is just how little
influenced the corporate media now has over public opinion. And
when I say corporate media, I'm not just talking about
the corporate media, academia, Hollywood, all the institutions that the
Communists have co opted are failing. Sorry, they just are.
The media is relentless pounding on Bush, combined with his
(24:22):
dumb amnesty push, dropped the bottom out of Doub's approval rating.
Being falsely blamed by the media for Hurricane Katrina. That
was a death blow to Bush. Now it didn't matter,
he was already in his second term. But still it
did pave way to the Obama presidency. But let's get
back to Obama for a minute. The same media continuously
(24:43):
circled the wagons for Obama even as he was caught
lying about Benghazi, or Fast and the Furious, or the
Irst Party scandal, so many different Obama disasters, Obama scandals,
the hyper regulation and tax increases caused by Obamacare. The
media just can't do it anymore. Using all their lies,
(25:03):
combining all their merit narratives, the media cannot push Trump's
approval rating lower than Obama's and Obama's the president they
did everything to protect. We now live in a world
that was unthinkable just ten years ago, one where the
media have lost all their influence to shape public opinion
and shape the public conversation. What normal people are talking
(25:24):
about is entirely different than what the fake media is
fixated on today. But the thing is, the corporate media,
which we're once able to make all those things that
don't matter matter, is starting to go into bankruptcy. They're failing,
they're firing people. The regime media could once create an
alternate reality where stupid stuff like pronouns and race hoaxes
(25:46):
actually mattered. It's not like that anymore. Donald Trump was
on Air Force one the other day talking to Politico's
Dasha Burns, and she asked a dumb question. It doesn't
matter what it was. Listen to how Trump handles it.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I know, are you considering talking about a question? Who
are you with?
Speaker 8 (26:03):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Politico?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Dasha Burns Sir Politico. Politico's gone mad.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
They've been so wrong about everything political political.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It's been so wrong about everything. Let's get somebody else
to ask the questions you mind? Is that all right?
Speaker 8 (26:19):
This?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Politico's thaket is.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
The corporate media deserves nothing but contempt.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Normal people have their own media.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
We have alternative media, social media, post podcasts, talk radio,
and institution that corporate media basically abandoned years ago, if
not decades ago.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Is thriving right now. Podcasters are thriving right now. No doubt.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
The corporate media still influenced the lunatics on the far left,
especially when it comes to ginning them up to commit
violence against normal people like you and I. But that
just shows how desperate the media is. Only the desperate
turn to violence. We laugh at them, they get angry,
We tell jokes, they get violent. We tell more jokes.
(27:06):
We duck the bullets if we can, but you know,
we still tell jokes. The bulk of us have moved
past the corporate media no matter what they do. That
toothpaste is never going back in the tube of my friend.
So we're supposed to live within our income, so we
can afford to pay taxes to a government they can't
live within its income.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah, that Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Disney Parks has raised ticket prices again, which is kind
of b us if you think about it, Since half
the kids from the Small World have been deported. I mean,
what have we got to pay to look at them for?
It's just an empty exhibit at this point, right, I'm
okay with that. By the way, Hi, everybody, welcome back
from break I am also okay with a lot of
Attorney General Ken Paxton's lawsuits. If you missed it, and
(27:50):
I doubt you did, because we replayed some of the
interview yesterday right now at this time in this time slot,
But if you missed it, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced
on our morning show yes yesterday that he was going
to sue doctor Malcolm Tanner. Who's doctor Malcolm Tanner? You ask,
doctor Malcolm Tanner basically runs a cult in West Texas.
(28:10):
He I don't think he's even a real doctor, is he?
Brandon Waltons of Texas scorecard dot Com.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
I don't think so, certainly, not not as we would
think about it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
But then anybody could be a doctor of anything nowadays.
Here Brandon, Brandon Waltons, you're a doctor of right wing media,
are you not?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I mean you're an expert at it? I do.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Yeah. I think doctor Jill Biden as well, remember her.
You know there's a lot of these doctors out there.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Am I not a doctor of boner jokes about bad politicians?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I mean I own that name. Somebody that's better at
it than I.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Am, Right, I can't look if you want to, if
you want to put that on yours and go right ahead,
I what resume?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Thank you, Brandon.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a sweeping lawsuit and
is seeking an emergency restraining order against an Indiana man
accused of trying to take.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Over Texas's least populous.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
County through what he is calling an illegal and unsafe
settlement scheme. The news broke yesterday morning on our show.
You know what's so interesting about this, Brandon, Even the
background characters in this story are fascinating. You know, the
district attorney there is Sarah Stagner, the former railroad commissioner
candidate who rode naked on a pump jack is that
(29:22):
what it's called, and then smoked weed in her front
lawn to piss off Dan Patrick. If this was a
comedy sketch, it would definitely work when we've got all
the makings of a good bit.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Here, Toy.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
He's sort of bizarre, right because people maybe remember her
from that, especially from a couple of years ago when
she was running Perrero commission and now actually, you know,
speaking to her yesterday about this, she's actually happy that
the Attorney General Ken Paxt is coming in and filing
the lawsuit. Here and says that she's concerned about this.
(29:53):
So it's it's just all sorts of bizarre. The whole
situation's bizarre, right is here you have this guy coming
in saying, if you move to Loving County, which, if
folks don't know West Texas, it's the least populous county
in the state.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
There's nothing out there, but there's tons of money. There's
like one hundred people in the whole county and there's
millions and millions of dollars probably an understatement.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Right, Well, yes, because it's you know, a lot of
oil and gas trade is very important in that part
of the state obviously, and so and it borders up
against New Mexico as well. Now, so this guy moves
out there, this Malcolm Tanner guy, and says, you know,
if anyone wants to move out here, I'll pay for
you to have a house. We're going to take over
(30:37):
the county. And you know, given the numbers, wouldn't take
a lot of people to quote unquote take it over.
And he's supposedly gotten a few bites on that, and
the Attorney General is coming in and saying that, okay, well,
this this housing, this quote unquote housing he's providing is
running a foul of all sorts of state laws and
(30:58):
codes and things like that that you know, there's not
running topper running water and sewage and all of that,
and so he could potentially be in some legal trouble there.
But the whole thing is sort of strange, right because
you look at this guy, and I don't know, it's
almost like equal parts a political operation but also potentially
(31:19):
some have said allegedly maybe some cult like behavior.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
It's very very bizarre.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
There's this I watched a live stream of his that
somebody saved and put on YouTube, and it wasn't like
something that he posted. Someone else posted it where he's
in a zoom meeting with a bunch of what I
would describe as probably poor black people, That's what it
seemed like, and he was trying to convince them to
come join his community, which I'll call a cult. And
(31:47):
one of them asked him, doctor, Malcolm Tanner, you claim
you're going to be able to build houses for us
and provide us with money. How are you going to
do it? And he says, I've come up with a formula.
I could explain the formula to you. But you're not
going to understand it. That's smart enough to understand a formula.
I have looked into this, Brandon, and generally speaking, building
houses involves wood and architectural plans, nails, cement, bricks. It
(32:11):
doesn't really involve formulas, which kind of makes me think
he's lying.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
That's certainly possible, right, I mean, it certainly looks that way.
That's certainly the allegation that is being made in this
lawsuit against him. And look, we'll see what happens with this,
but you know this is this is serious. I mean
in the sense that you know, as silly as some
of this is, as you pointed out, millions of dollars
boiling gas activity, which means that, you know, it's important
(32:37):
that we have functioning you know, some some semblance of
a functioning county government and judicial district out there, and
so you know this this guy coming in promising this.
By the way, another detail that sort of gets missed
in this is the people he's recruiting are by and
large single moms.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
That's sort of interesting as well.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Wow, that almost sounds a little predatory and it almost
looks a little bit like human trafficking. If you trick
people into moving out there. All right, he's a little
bit like the Pete Chambers of West Texas. You don't
have to react to that. But let's remove from one
cult now to another cult. Uh, there we go. Epic City,
the East Plano Islamic Center, is supposed to be a
(33:18):
housing community for Shariah loving recent citizens of Texas. Attorney
General Ken Paxton has informed the Texas State Securities Board
that his office has uncovered evidence showing entities connected to
Epic City and it's controversial proposed Epic City land development
project violates federal and state security laws.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Can you tell us a little about this?
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Yeah? And first of all, oh, man, isn't that just
music to your ears? I wish we had more of
that in our Texas city than.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
President Obama's favorite sound. He says he loves it.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
Oh, I could listen to it all day.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear that. And I think man
a diverse society.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well, you know, in Dearborn at the Dearborn City Council meetings,
brand and that's the thing people have been complaining about.
At five in the morning, they're playing these sounds out
of mosques all over the city. The non Muslims in Dearborn,
Michigan have been complaining about it.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
There's a video.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
I don't know if you saw this circulating on social media.
Regular normal Middle American people go complain about it. At
the basically Islamic occupied city council meeting, they couldn't dismiss
these guys fast enough. Oh sorry, noise ordinance at five am,
too bad, move to Indiana. Between that and that video
of Ilhan Omar endorsing that extremist Islamic nut job is
(34:39):
the mayor of Minneapolis, there's a lot of good talking
points that these videos are very convincing for why we
need to stop immigration from that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And if that upsets people, I'm sorry. I have every
right to say that No.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
I grew up in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates
for a few years growing up, and they would they would,
you know, of course, play that. The difference of course
being that they're in Islamic country. You would expect that, right.
But anyways, going back to this, to this lawsuit, or
rather this this complaint that the Trade General Paxton has
has sent now to the Texas State Securities Board. We
(35:13):
don't know the specific details that's you know, of his
investigation that that's been transmitted over to the State Securities Board,
but essentially he says that the developers of this Epic
City project, which is up in North Texas, it's been
the subject of a number of state investigations and essentially,
you know, they've they've marketed this as what would essentially
(35:35):
be in Islamic compound. There hasn't really been construction on
it yet Epic Epic though the East Plano Islamic Center
does exist and they're a big force up there in
the area. But essentially they want to do this neighborhood
where you know, only Muslims move in and it's this
whole kind of Islamic community.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
This this, uh, this letter to the State Securities Board
accuses them of violating some laws, and essentially the Attorney
General needs a referral. The way the law works that
the State Security Board has to refer these charges so
that the Attorney General can file a lawsuit. And so
we'll see if they do, and if they do, I
think we would expect to see a lawsuit filed pretty
(36:15):
quickly from the Attorney General against there. There's just one
of a number of ways that the state has tried
to tamp down on this, especially in the wake of
the controversy of this epic city development. You saw Governor
Greg Abbott signing into law I believe it was, you know,
just just last month, held a signing for a law
that he says is designed to ban Sharia compounds in Texas.
(36:38):
It prevents similar sort of developments. And so we'll see.
But you know, this is an issue that anytime we
talk about it, it certainly gets a lot of I
think a lot of people's attention, and for good reason.
This is something that that people are concerned about.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
All right, Before we get out of here, Ken Patson's
also involved in a lawsuit involving online gambling.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I don't want to talk about that though, talk about
it later.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
More interesting to me is this, And I don't know
if you had a chance to see this yet, Brandon,
but the Alamo, the official Alamo Twitter account yesterday posted
about honoring Indigenous People's Day and their communities and the
Alamo Visitors Center and Indigenous People's Gallery. And I hate
to be the one to remind everybody about this, but
the Alamo was originally a Catholic church, and the reason
(37:23):
we celebrate Christopher Columbus Day yesterday is because back in
the early twentieth century, Democrats calling themselves the ku Klux Klan,
used to ride around the country on horseback harassing Catholic Americans,
many of whom were Italians, to convince them that they
don't belong in America. Of all the places in the
country to not celebrate Indigenous People's Day, I would think
(37:46):
the Alamo, a Catholic church, would be one of those
people that would say, yeah, yeah, this was a holiday
for Catholics, right that historically speaking, that's an objective fact.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 8 (37:57):
Brandon Well, Mike Little sold Than our publisher of course,
actually asked John Buckingham Lane commissioner about this last night
on X and she she responded this morning said you know,
she didn't authorize the posts, that it was unacceptable, it's
been deleted, and that woke has no place at the Alma.
I went on to say what they would do in
reaction to that. It's interesting somebody else pulled up that
(38:20):
the Alamo accounted actually tweeted almost the exact same thing
for the last couple of years, you know, people didn't
really see it, didn't get a lot of attention attraction.
But I would say that the silver lining here is
that people are I think a lot more, a lot
more in tune, and a lot more awakened to be
looking out for this kind of woke talk from our institutions.
(38:43):
And you know, look, you know, of all things, can
we not have the Alamo be off limits in this Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Amen to that. Hey, one more quick question for you.
We went along on this segment, so just a quick answer.
I'd love your take on it. Tomorrow, I have Rachel
Hooper in studio. For those of you who don't know
who she is, she's the lawyer for the Texas Republican Party.
Her and Ken Paxton, in a handful of others are
involved in a lawsuit right now to close the primaries
in the state of Texas. What's the point of having
(39:09):
a political party If anybody can vote in your primary,
you don't need to be a member. Jane Nelson is
the Texas Secretary of State. Apparently she's against it. Governor
rabbits against it. John Cornyn's against it. Dan Crenshaw is
against it. I'm starting to notice a common denominator here
among all the people that are against closing the primaries. Brandon,
are you picking up on it or is it just me?
Speaker 8 (39:34):
It's definitely one of those fights that is pitting, you know,
Republican voters against unfortunately a lot in the Republican establishment.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Right now, Yeah, amen to that. Would you close the primaries?
Speaker 8 (39:45):
Would I absolutely?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
I mean it seems like.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
It's a no brainer, right, Like what happens to guys
like John Cornyn and Crenshaw?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Or how about this? I always point out to people.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Part of the reason why we have a liberal limpristed
House speaker every single legislative session is because of this.
This is downstream from that. You have all these leftists
that get involved in our primaries. The Democrats and far
left activists vote in the Republican primary, you get some
wishy washy candidate who makes it to the general election,
(40:16):
makes it to the Texas House lo and behold, you know,
maybe you didn't hate Dustin Burroughs, but Dade Falen, Dennis Bonnen.
I feel like those two things are connected.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
Yes, it's all downstream of that. You know, take away
any given member right that may or may not benefit
from this just literally in principle. I mean, if you
ask people, should the Republican Party have the right to
deny Democrats voting and choosing its own candidates? I think
you know it's a no brainer. And the fact that
Texas is one of the states that allows this, I
(40:48):
think even in twenty twenty five is it will be wildering.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Brandon Wiltins, I think you are one of the most
underrated people in Texas political media. I think you are
one of the future stars of this industry. Brandon is
a young guy. You wouldn't know it from listening to
him talk on the radio. He sounds like a seasoned
veteran in this industry, and in some ways he kind
of is. If FIVA wanted to follow you on X

According to a new survey, sixty one percent of Americans
would agree to have a corporate sponsored wedding with their spouse.
If I had known that, I would have had mind
sponsored by bourbon in prozac. Don't laugh at that. Hi, everybody,
thanks for turning on your radio. You know who's here
this afternoon, Daniel Turner from Powerthefuture dot com. That's a
(00:46):
website for people that work in the oil and gas industry.
But we won't be talking specifically about that. We're gonna
talk about Charlie Kirk his birthdays today. It's also George
Floyd's birthday. That won't be the main focus of the
topic of the conversation. But we're gonna get into what's
going on at the DOJ, the FBI investigation into his death.
It's going to get a little weird. Some of you
may be offended. That's your problem, not mine. With all
(01:08):
that being said, indicted, Letsia James is housed. Oh and
before I forget, Brandon Waltons will be here from texascorecard
dot Com. Yesterday, the people that run the Alamo did
something that would probably piss you off.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We'll tell you what it is. Stick around, we'll get
to it soon. Before we get to that.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
New York State Attorney General Letitia James, she's in a
little bit of trouble right now. She's being investigated for
bank fraud and mortgage fraud, and apparently she's housed her
fugitive relative in her Virginia house for five years. The
underfire prosecutor's grand niece, Nakia Thompson, has been living with
her three children in Letitia's three bedroom property in Norfolks
(01:48):
since twenty twenty. It's now been revealed that Thompson is
officially listed as an absconder.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ooh, that's a dirty word. What does that mean.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
She's wanted by authorities in Forsyth County, North cait Carolina
for failing to finish her probation, and the Attorney General
of the State of New York has been housing her
in a home that she lied to a mortgage company
and said it was her primary residence.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Her primary residence is in New York, which she also
claimed was her primary residence. Starting to notice some common
denominators here, guys. You know it's interesting. The Virginia home
at the center of the mortgage fraud indictment against New
York attorney Letitia James is home to a criminal, according
to Breitbart dot Com reading in a report right now,
(02:36):
and the story is just so interesting. October ninth, James
gets indicted by a Virginia grand jury in a case
related to a mortgage she took out at her home
in Virginia, and according to the indictment, she received more
favorable mortgage rates when she claimed that this was her home,
that it would not be used as her second home,
and mortgage rates are higher for those who intend to
(02:58):
rent the property out, which is what she appears to
be doing. She said she was going to live there.
She's not living there. Even more outrageous is the fact
that the top law enforcement officer in the New York
state appears to be renting the house to a fugitive.
The fugitive status is based on misdemeanor convictions in North
Carolina for assault and battery and trespassing so it's not like,
(03:19):
you know, she just failed to wear a seat belt
or something. These convictions come with a sentence of probation.
Instead of meeting the conviction the conditions of her probation.
She fled the state. If she's found in North Carolina,
she'll be arrested.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So if the indictment proves true, the New York Attorney
General committed a crime by lying on a mortgage application
and is basically harboring a fugitive from justice.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And honestly, this appears to be the least.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Of her mortgage sins. This is only one of more
to come. There's two other properties that she committed mortgage
fraud on, according to a forensic accountant with information privy
to the story. Here's a little audio as reported by
Well here, I'll just plan.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Joining us now. Forensic account and Sam Mantar, the man
who uncovered this all at the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You broke this open.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
It has gone all the way to the top to
the doj Letician James has now been indicted again. Sam
as I said, I'm not celebrating this like oh yeah, yeah, great,
thank god. That's not what this is about. This is
about someone doing something allegedly wrong and getting caught.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So walk us through it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'll walk you through it. First of all, she owns
three Can I just interrupt him right here? He's going
to go on to tell you there's more mortgage fraud
on the way. I am saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good.
But at the same time, you have to remind yourself
the problem with lawfair in this country. It's not just
the New York Attorney General or the district attorney down
in Atlanta. It's so much deeper than that. It's there
(04:45):
is a rot an infestation in our FBI right now,
in our DOJ right now. People that work under Trump,
remember January sixth, FBI agents on the ground that happened
while Trump was president. Those guys were clearly again him.
While Trump was president, members of the FBI staged a
fake kidnapping of the Michigan government. We're going to talk
(05:06):
about that in the next segment, but just wrapping up
the topic here with Letitia. She is a terrible person.
Latitia James ran on the Stalinist promise to abuse her
office to destroy Trump. That was what she said over
and over again on the campaign trail. That was her promise.
And that case blew up in her face on appeal.
Now it looks as though she is serially guilty of
(05:28):
the same criminal events she used to try to destroy Trump,
as well as shielding a relative from justice. It's really
gotten to a point where there's nothing a Democrat can
do even all of this and not be protected by
the Democrat Party and the Confederates and the fake news media.
Here's CNN in twenty nineteen. Listen to this with New.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
York charges residential mortgage s braad among them, one of
the most serious. So he's looking at one to three
years minimum, eight to twenty five years maximum. These are
huge ranges, but those would be inescapable. Right, there's nothing
a president can do to pardon on a state charge.
James is there and.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Hang on a second. So that's twenty nineteen. That's that
is a one of the top anchors. It's CNN in
twenty nineteen. Here's the same woman this week.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
James is the first Attorney General of New York to
be indicted by the Justice Department, and it follows a
nearly six month investigation into claims of mortgage fraud. Now
that is a charge the United States Justice Department rarely
brings against individuals, but of course James is not an
ordinary individual. Trump considers her an enemy after she sued
him in twenty twenty two, accusing Trump of lying about
(06:32):
his real estate empire and the inflating the value of
his property.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
No, it sounds like the same thing she did. And
then amazing. The only principle guiding these wretched people is
hate for normal people. If it wasn't for double standards,
they'd have no standards at all.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I thought this was America, This is America. I thought
this was America. Pursuit of happiness radio.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Isn't it odd how coincidences happened? And we have to
assume they're just incidences. But sometimes they are a little
too coincidental, a little too COINCIDENTE if you will, thank you.
I know it's not a word, but Charlie Kirk died today. No,
I'm sorry. Charlie Kirk's birthday was today. It's been a
month ish since he died, and it's also George Floyd's birthday. Now,
(07:16):
one of those days is very important to the left.
One of those days is very important to the right.
One of these guys was murdered in cold blood because
he was going out engaging in polite conversation, polite debate
with the opposite end.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
With his ideological and theological opposites.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
The other guy died because, and I know this is uncomfortable,
and I want to be real objective on this, George
Floyd died because he mixed heroin and fentanyl and then
started to overdose as he was passing a bad check along.
And then a police officer who probably overreacted while dealing
with him, didn't allow a first responder to administer aid
as George Floyd was dying. By the way, that's the
(07:58):
thing everybody gets wrong. George Floyd, that kneeling on his
neck had nothing to do with his death. I'm gonna
repeat that because I think it bears repeating, as a
guy that watched the whole trial and read the transcripts
and found the defense's own witness put somebody on the
stand who admitted in front of the jury that Derek Chauvin,
the police officer, didn't allow a first responder to administer
(08:21):
aid to George Floyd. That is why he died. Didn't
have anything to do with the kneeling on the neck.
I'm sorry, it just didn't. Still, he let him die
and he went to prison. And you know, I know
that's not the explanation conservatives or liberals want to hear,
but it's the truth, and isn't that the only thing
that matters? So today, Erica Kirk and Donald Trump are
having a tribute to Charlie for his birthday. And if
(08:43):
Erica briefly smiles, will some people out there be able
to contain their outrage their far fetched conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I know I'm throwing a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Of hand grenades here in the opening segment of the show,
saying things both liberals and conservatives won't like. But hey,
that's the kind of show this is, isn't it, Daniel
Turner from Power the Future dot com?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It is?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
And that's why we love you, and that's why your
ratings is through the roof, because you know, we hear
all the time. We need to have a conversation about X,
Y or Z, we need to have a conversation about race,
We need to have a conversation about healthcare. Well do
you really want to have a conversation because conversations can
get messy and ugly, but let's have the conversation. So
good for you for going where you would want to venture.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Okay, So with all that being said, there are people
that were friends with Charlie Kirk that are willing to
that wanted to say things that some find controversial. One
of those people is is Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson speculates
that something weird happened with Charlie Kirk's death and that's
why the FBI rushed through the investigation so quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Here's a SoundBite from a recent interview. Help kill Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
I've really tried not to publicly speculate or say anything
that I can't pretty.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's smart.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
I love Charlie and I to his wife this morning.
I love his wife and Erica, and I don't want
to make worse.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Here's all I'll say.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
If the FBI and the authorities in Utah and this
investigation by declaring Tyler Robinson a lone gunman with no
accomplices whatsoever, without having done a truly exhaustive investigation, that
will not be adequate.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I want to trust the FBI.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
There's no reason to trust the FBI at all. They've
been caught acting in bad faith and conducting what I
consider crimes, so many times, lying so many times.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
All Right, So what Tucker Carlson is saying is he
feels like the investigation into the Charlie Kirk assassin was
rushed and they came to the conclusion that he acted
alone quite quickly. I'm not going to speculate that it
was Israel or the Jews or I don't know. I
find that to be a little far fetched. But does
he have a point there, Daniel?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
I think he has a point in the fact that
the FBI has been caught acting in bad faith. And
this is a government organization and the people who pay
for it, meaning the taxpayers, have a right to the
fullness of truth. So, for example, you take something awful
like the Jason Alden concert massacre in Las Vegas. Right,
(11:07):
there's things that the FBI knows about that that they
just are not telling the American people, And I think
the American people have a right to know. And there
are other instances like that that make you plant these
seeds of doubt in the FBI and whether or not
they actually act in good faith or tell us the truth.
So he is right that the American people are skeptical
(11:28):
of our government organizations and clearly in the Biden administration, right,
the FBI was going after Catholics who go to Latin
maths and moms who go to you know, school choice
community meetings at the school board. But I'm with you.
I don't want to take it into the extent of
it was aliens. Right. We're pretty confident it was aliens
(11:51):
and that's who killed Charlie Kirk. And the FBI is
not going to tell us because they're also part of
the alien conspiracy. Right, So I hate to think, like, oh, look,
let's find another example to play. So the seeds of
doubt on the FBI. They've done enough damage of himself.
But I think Charlie has a right to rest in
(12:11):
peace and hesitant when anyone's like, actually, I know who
killed Charlie Kirk, and you all are blind to the machine.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, I'm with you. It's one thing to be a
little skeptical. It's another thing to immediately say, oh, it's
Net and Yahoo, like hang on a minute. Net and
Yahoo radicalized this guy in Utah and got him interested
in tranny porn and then introduced him to a furry
and the two of them felt insulted by Charlie Kirk.
So it's like, boy, there's an awful lot of things
that had to happen here to lead up to this,
(12:41):
for Israel to do it while they were in the
middle of three wars.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But I digress. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
The Israel's not perfect either. That's besides the point. Let's
talk a little bit more about the DOJ for a minute,
because I think what's happening right now with Letitia up
in New York State, the New York Attorney General being
prosecuted and investigated.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I find that very interesting.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Some might argue, going back to the Charlie Kirk thing,
that oh, this is Donald Trump's FBI, they could do
no wrong. I might remind you it was Donald Trump's
FBI when there were undercover FBI agents on the ground
at January sixth, Regardless of who's president, can you ever
really trust the FBI?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
And in this sense, I agree with Tucker that they
have done a lot to act in bad faith, and
we have a unique opportunity here to clean house. So,
for example, there were FBI agents who hatched the brilliant
plot what if we got a bunch of lunatics online
and tried to convince them to kidnap the governor of Michigan,
and it sort of worked. A bunch of crazy people
(13:42):
did think, hey, this is a good idea, and they
started the planet. But now you realize the real planners,
the real orchestrators, the advent of this idea all started
with the FBI. Well, someone has to get to the
bottom of that and say, like, you can't work here anymore. Right,
someone has to get to the bottom of who organized
the meeting to say, you know what, agent, special agent
(14:06):
Kenny Webster, let's start tracking all the guys who go
to Latin Mass in northern Virginia. Right, Like, no one
at that board meeting was like, hang on, I'm sorry,
what am I doing today? Yes, you are going to
go on Sunday to the Latin Mass ten o'clock at
Saint Sebastian and you're going to make a list of
all the men who go to that mass because they're
potential terrorists. Right, someone had that idea. That person needs
(14:29):
to be held accountable until the FBI cleaned house with
those people and tells us who they are. Like, maybe
you don't have to call if the name, but you
have to say the five agents who said we are
going to track homeschool moms. Those agents have been dismissed.
So until there's cleaning house, the FBI is going to
always be a little bit in doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I would prefer the DOJ and the FBI clean house
more than I want them to get retribution for the
lawfair from the last four years. That being said, Daniel
both would be nice. US Attorney for Eastern District of Virginia,
Lindsay Halligan announced last week that the federal grand jury
is indicting Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, for
bank fraud and making false statements to financial institutions. As
(15:14):
most people probably already know, this is a woman who
tried to prosecute Donald Trump for what over evaluating how
much Mara a Lago was worth in a Deutsche Bank loan,
which they had no issue with and he already paid back.
And yesterday she was with mom Donnie, the guy running
for New York City mayor. They were in Washington Heights
declaring that they will get back at Trump for this indictment.
(15:37):
If everybody this is kind of like Israel and Hamas,
if everybody always thinks that it's retaliation, does it ever end?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
No, exactly, and it's it's really not lawfair in this case,
it's not lawfair. The wold accountable those people who weaponize
the DOJ, those people who you know who are the
agents who decided we're going to listen to nine Republican
senators cell phone calls because we're worried that their Russian spies, right, right,
(16:04):
But they went through none of the necessary processes to
do that and.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Didn't prove that they were.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
By the way, it wasn't like they were.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Prosecuting those folks. Is not law fair. That is getting
back to neutral. But yes, exactly, this is exactly why
people like mom Damie are a threat to our democracy.
To use their phrase, because his response is we're going
to get back at you, right, and that's what we
have to look forward to. That's what you and I
have to look forward to. There there will be a
day we're going to lose power and they're not going
(16:34):
to be nice with it. They're not going to say, well, hey,
we didn't like what Power the Future was doing, or
we didn't like what Kenny Webster was saying on the air.
They will come back at us tenfold because that's who
they are. So yeah, I think we have to uproot
and clean house and make institutional changes so this weaponization
stops forever. You know. The simplest example of that, Kenny,
(16:56):
is not the DOJAA, the FBI, but a little tiny
story that barely made media attention last week when it
came out that the GSA was putting people on the
no fly list if they refused to wear a mask.
I wrote about it in an op ed. The no
fly list was from Muslim terrorists, or the no fly
list was to keep people out of planes who crashed
(17:17):
planes into buildings as part of their fanatical religious belief.
And here's little cub Scout peak Buddha Jeedge at the
Transportation Agency saying Kenny Webster doesn't want to get a
vaccine and wear a mask. Well, guess what no flylist
for you. That's a weaponization of government that needs to
be uprooted and people need to be held accountable.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
In the meantime, I have noticed there been a handful
of conservatives that have kind of ironically and just said
that they hoped that mom Donnie wins. One of those
people with Scott Bessend to the US Treasury Secretary. Another
was George well, and I kind of agree with them.
I don't have to live in New York City. If
New York City experiments with government operated grocery stores and
(17:58):
they're shocked when it's not as nice as Trader Joe's,
is that going to help teach the rest of the
country a valuable lesson about Marxism that most of us
learned back at the in the eighties or the nineties
when the Cold War was still going on.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yeah, I have to politely disagree with you there. I
never think you win by losing a lot of people
have said, like, good, this will be good for New
York because they'll see how bad it is and then
they'll pivot back. That's kind of where we are with
the government shut down in Obamacare. Right once they see
how lousy it is, then they'll wish they never got it. Well,
we're fourteen years after Obamacare. It's costing us a fortune.
(18:35):
We've shut down the government because we cut off the subsidies.
Obamacare is still with us, and there's still a party
that is wedded to it for their political future. And
so that was an issue that we lost and we're
still losing. So I understand the idea there but I
don't think Americans learned that way. I think you learned
(18:55):
that way when you go to war, right, I think
you learned that way off after. I think COVID maybe
taught us like, I'm not going to trust government shutdowns anymore.
But when you get when those people get power and
they make transformational changes, as barackobt Obama said, where you're
going to transform, radically transform America, that transformation isn't easily undone,
(19:18):
and it just does long lasting damage to the soul
of the country. That's what Obama did, That's what Biden did.
Undoing that is painful, painful work.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Still, it would be funny to watch. I mean, we want,
we want.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
We once cut Korea in half, and fifty years later
we noticed that in the north end of the peninsula
they were six inches shorter than in the south end
of the peninsula. What exactly was that invisible line dividing? Again,
I think it was capitalism and communism, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Yes, But you know they, oh, well, then they'll just
say that wasn't real communism. They do, well, that wasn't
that wasn't real so venezuela, that wasn't real socialism, Right,
East Germany. That wasn't real Cuba, that wasn't real socialism.
Mondami is playing the game intellectual socialists have played since Marx. Right.
It's failed everywhere, but only because they just didn't implement
it right, you give him. Elizabeth Warren plays the same game.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Right.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
The reason why banking reform didn't work is because it
wasn't done right. Give me more power to reform those
big banks, and by golly, I will reform those banks.
The socialist never looks at their mistake and says, wow,
we really screwed the pooch there. They just say, this
was an opportunity for you to give me more money,
surrender more of your rights, and this time I'll make
(20:30):
it work, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Daniel Turner, Power of the Future.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Last question, which song on the new Taylor Swift album
Life of Showgirl is your most favorite?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I couldn't name. The last Taylor Swift song I can
name is her country song Mean And I think she
was like nineteen and it's kind of a good country
song that you hear on the radio all the time.
I don't know a damn Taylor Swift song. I'm not
really a pop music fan. I will say this is
a funny little anecdote. I only listen to country stations
(21:01):
when I'm in the car, and besides talk radio, of course,
and I have never heard a Beyonce song on talk
radio on country radio stations in my life. And she
has Record of the Year for Country. They played that,
They played that Texas hold them for about a week
and a half until everyone realized it's crap, right, And
so it just makes me laugh. If you don't think
(21:22):
that there's THEI in every industry, Beyonce has no right
winning any record for country music. Can't go more than
a traffic light without here in another jelly roll song.
But Beyonce with Record of the Year. I can't name
one of her songs either.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Well, look Taylor Swift, Beyonce, who's the other one? Machine Gun,
Kelly post Malone.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
We could probably do another segment on this, but let's
just agree that modern country is crap. Daniel Turner is
a savant of the energy industry, and hey, we got
to get you back soon to talk about the cost
of oil.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And gas going down. We didn't even get to that
today anytime.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
But we're about to run out of time. Daniel Turner
Powerthefuture dot Com found him on x.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I thought this was America. This is America, America Pursuit
of Happiness Radio.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Today is be bald and b Free Day, or, as
William Shanner calls it, Tuesday. Hi, welcome back, everybody. I'm Kenny,
You're you. It's good to be here with you. Brandon
Walton's coming buy in the next segment to talk about
what just happened at the Alamo, and a long list
of lawsuits filed by Ken Paxton over the past week,
most of which you're gonna love before we get to
(22:30):
any of that. Breitbart dot Com today reporting on polling
data comparing Donald Trump in his second term to where
Obama was at in this term. You're gonna love this.
The corporate media, all of academia, all of Hollywood, have
spent billions and billions of dollars over a full decade
smearing a man, calling him hitler, and now that one
man has a higher approval rating than their own, precious
(22:52):
Barack Obama. From the spin we hear from the regime media,
you'd think Trump's job approval rating was in some kind
of freefall. The media is hoping with this dishonest spend.
They can convince you to disapprove of Trump in a
preference cascade, but as is always the case with the
liars in the media, all context and truth has been
(23:14):
removed to push a fake narrative. Today we look at
real clear politics. It's the poll of poll they say,
the polls, the pollster's poll, and they are comparing Trump's
approval ratings to the approval ratings of Obama, George W. Bush,
and all the other presidents at this point in his
second term. Since Joe Biden is a one term president,
he's not on the list. Trump currently enjoys a higher
(23:37):
approval job rating of average job approval rating than both
of his predecessors. As of today, his average job approval
rating is a pretty healthy forty five point three percent.
Comparing that to Obama today was forty four percent, right four,
forty five point three higher than forty four George Bush
today would have been at thirty nine point five percent.
(24:00):
What this once again tells us is just how little
influenced the corporate media now has over public opinion. And
when I say corporate media, I'm not just talking about
the corporate media, academia, Hollywood, all the institutions that the
Communists have co opted are failing. Sorry, they just are.
The media is relentless pounding on Bush, combined with his
(24:22):
dumb amnesty push, dropped the bottom out of Doub's approval rating.
Being falsely blamed by the media for Hurricane Katrina. That
was a death blow to Bush. Now it didn't matter,
he was already in his second term. But still it
did pave way to the Obama presidency. But let's get
back to Obama for a minute. The same media continuously
(24:43):
circled the wagons for Obama even as he was caught
lying about Benghazi, or Fast and the Furious, or the
Irst Party scandal, so many different Obama disasters, Obama scandals,
the hyper regulation and tax increases caused by Obamacare. The
media just can't do it anymore. Using all their lies,
(25:03):
combining all their merit narratives, the media cannot push Trump's
approval rating lower than Obama's and Obama's the president they
did everything to protect. We now live in a world
that was unthinkable just ten years ago, one where the
media have lost all their influence to shape public opinion
and shape the public conversation. What normal people are talking
(25:24):
about is entirely different than what the fake media is
fixated on today. But the thing is, the corporate media,
which we're once able to make all those things that
don't matter matter, is starting to go into bankruptcy. They're failing,
they're firing people. The regime media could once create an
alternate reality where stupid stuff like pronouns and race hoaxes
(25:46):
actually mattered. It's not like that anymore. Donald Trump was
on Air Force one the other day talking to Politico's
Dasha Burns, and she asked a dumb question. It doesn't
matter what it was. Listen to how Trump handles it.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I know, are you considering talking about a question? Who
are you with?
Speaker 8 (26:03):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Politico?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Dasha Burns Sir Politico. Politico's gone mad.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
They've been so wrong about everything political political.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It's been so wrong about everything. Let's get somebody else
to ask the questions you mind? Is that all right?
Speaker 8 (26:19):
This?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Politico's thaket is.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
The corporate media deserves nothing but contempt.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Normal people have their own media.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
We have alternative media, social media, post podcasts, talk radio,
and institution that corporate media basically abandoned years ago, if
not decades ago.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Is thriving right now. Podcasters are thriving right now. No doubt.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
The corporate media still influenced the lunatics on the far left,
especially when it comes to ginning them up to commit
violence against normal people like you and I. But that
just shows how desperate the media is. Only the desperate
turn to violence. We laugh at them, they get angry,
We tell jokes, they get violent. We tell more jokes.
(27:06):
We duck the bullets if we can, but you know,
we still tell jokes. The bulk of us have moved
past the corporate media no matter what they do. That
toothpaste is never going back in the tube of my friend.
So we're supposed to live within our income, so we
can afford to pay taxes to a government they can't
live within its income.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah, that Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Disney Parks has raised ticket prices again, which is kind
of b us if you think about it, Since half
the kids from the Small World have been deported. I mean,
what have we got to pay to look at them for?
It's just an empty exhibit at this point, right, I'm
okay with that. By the way, Hi, everybody, welcome back
from break I am also okay with a lot of
Attorney General Ken Paxton's lawsuits. If you missed it, and
(27:50):
I doubt you did, because we replayed some of the
interview yesterday right now at this time in this time slot,
But if you missed it, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced
on our morning show yes yesterday that he was going
to sue doctor Malcolm Tanner. Who's doctor Malcolm Tanner? You ask,
doctor Malcolm Tanner basically runs a cult in West Texas.
(28:10):
He I don't think he's even a real doctor, is he?
Brandon Waltons of Texas scorecard dot Com.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
I don't think so, certainly, not not as we would
think about it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
But then anybody could be a doctor of anything nowadays.
Here Brandon, Brandon Waltons, you're a doctor of right wing media,
are you not?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I mean you're an expert at it? I do.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Yeah. I think doctor Jill Biden as well, remember her.
You know there's a lot of these doctors out there.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Am I not a doctor of boner jokes about bad politicians?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I mean I own that name. Somebody that's better at
it than I.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Am, Right, I can't look if you want to, if
you want to put that on yours and go right ahead,
I what resume?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Thank you, Brandon.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a sweeping lawsuit and
is seeking an emergency restraining order against an Indiana man
accused of trying to take.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Over Texas's least populous.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
County through what he is calling an illegal and unsafe
settlement scheme. The news broke yesterday morning on our show.
You know what's so interesting about this, Brandon, Even the
background characters in this story are fascinating. You know, the
district attorney there is Sarah Stagner, the former railroad commissioner
candidate who rode naked on a pump jack is that
(29:22):
what it's called, and then smoked weed in her front
lawn to piss off Dan Patrick. If this was a
comedy sketch, it would definitely work when we've got all
the makings of a good bit.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Here, Toy.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
He's sort of bizarre, right because people maybe remember her
from that, especially from a couple of years ago when
she was running Perrero commission and now actually, you know,
speaking to her yesterday about this, she's actually happy that
the Attorney General Ken Paxt is coming in and filing
the lawsuit. Here and says that she's concerned about this.
(29:53):
So it's it's just all sorts of bizarre. The whole
situation's bizarre, right is here you have this guy coming
in saying, if you move to Loving County, which, if
folks don't know West Texas, it's the least populous county
in the state.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
There's nothing out there, but there's tons of money. There's
like one hundred people in the whole county and there's
millions and millions of dollars probably an understatement.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Right, Well, yes, because it's you know, a lot of
oil and gas trade is very important in that part
of the state obviously, and so and it borders up
against New Mexico as well. Now, so this guy moves
out there, this Malcolm Tanner guy, and says, you know,
if anyone wants to move out here, I'll pay for
you to have a house. We're going to take over
(30:37):
the county. And you know, given the numbers, wouldn't take
a lot of people to quote unquote take it over.
And he's supposedly gotten a few bites on that, and
the Attorney General is coming in and saying that, okay, well,
this this housing, this quote unquote housing he's providing is
running a foul of all sorts of state laws and
(30:58):
codes and things like that that you know, there's not
running topper running water and sewage and all of that,
and so he could potentially be in some legal trouble there.
But the whole thing is sort of strange, right because
you look at this guy, and I don't know, it's
almost like equal parts a political operation but also potentially
(31:19):
some have said allegedly maybe some cult like behavior.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
It's very very bizarre.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
There's this I watched a live stream of his that
somebody saved and put on YouTube, and it wasn't like
something that he posted. Someone else posted it where he's
in a zoom meeting with a bunch of what I
would describe as probably poor black people, That's what it
seemed like, and he was trying to convince them to
come join his community, which I'll call a cult. And
(31:47):
one of them asked him, doctor, Malcolm Tanner, you claim
you're going to be able to build houses for us
and provide us with money. How are you going to
do it? And he says, I've come up with a formula.
I could explain the formula to you. But you're not
going to understand it. That's smart enough to understand a formula.
I have looked into this, Brandon, and generally speaking, building
houses involves wood and architectural plans, nails, cement, bricks. It
(32:11):
doesn't really involve formulas, which kind of makes me think
he's lying.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
That's certainly possible, right, I mean, it certainly looks that way.
That's certainly the allegation that is being made in this
lawsuit against him. And look, we'll see what happens with this,
but you know this is this is serious. I mean
in the sense that you know, as silly as some
of this is, as you pointed out, millions of dollars
boiling gas activity, which means that, you know, it's important
(32:37):
that we have functioning you know, some some semblance of
a functioning county government and judicial district out there, and
so you know this this guy coming in promising this.
By the way, another detail that sort of gets missed
in this is the people he's recruiting are by and
large single moms.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
That's sort of interesting as well.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Wow, that almost sounds a little predatory and it almost
looks a little bit like human trafficking. If you trick
people into moving out there. All right, he's a little
bit like the Pete Chambers of West Texas. You don't
have to react to that. But let's remove from one
cult now to another cult. Uh, there we go. Epic City,
the East Plano Islamic Center, is supposed to be a
(33:18):
housing community for Shariah loving recent citizens of Texas. Attorney
General Ken Paxton has informed the Texas State Securities Board
that his office has uncovered evidence showing entities connected to
Epic City and it's controversial proposed Epic City land development
project violates federal and state security laws.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Can you tell us a little about this?
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Yeah? And first of all, oh, man, isn't that just
music to your ears? I wish we had more of
that in our Texas city than.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
President Obama's favorite sound. He says he loves it.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
Oh, I could listen to it all day.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear that. And I think man
a diverse society.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well, you know, in Dearborn at the Dearborn City Council meetings,
brand and that's the thing people have been complaining about.
At five in the morning, they're playing these sounds out
of mosques all over the city. The non Muslims in Dearborn,
Michigan have been complaining about it.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
There's a video.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
I don't know if you saw this circulating on social media.
Regular normal Middle American people go complain about it. At
the basically Islamic occupied city council meeting, they couldn't dismiss
these guys fast enough. Oh sorry, noise ordinance at five am,
too bad, move to Indiana. Between that and that video
of Ilhan Omar endorsing that extremist Islamic nut job is
(34:39):
the mayor of Minneapolis, there's a lot of good talking
points that these videos are very convincing for why we
need to stop immigration from that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And if that upsets people, I'm sorry. I have every
right to say that No.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
I grew up in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates
for a few years growing up, and they would they would,
you know, of course, play that. The difference of course
being that they're in Islamic country. You would expect that, right.
But anyways, going back to this, to this lawsuit, or
rather this this complaint that the Trade General Paxton has
has sent now to the Texas State Securities Board. We
(35:13):
don't know the specific details that's you know, of his
investigation that that's been transmitted over to the State Securities Board,
but essentially he says that the developers of this Epic
City project, which is up in North Texas, it's been
the subject of a number of state investigations and essentially,
you know, they've they've marketed this as what would essentially
(35:35):
be in Islamic compound. There hasn't really been construction on
it yet Epic Epic though the East Plano Islamic Center
does exist and they're a big force up there in
the area. But essentially they want to do this neighborhood
where you know, only Muslims move in and it's this
whole kind of Islamic community.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
This this, uh, this letter to the State Securities Board
accuses them of violating some laws, and essentially the Attorney
General needs a referral. The way the law works that
the State Security Board has to refer these charges so
that the Attorney General can file a lawsuit. And so
we'll see if they do, and if they do, I
think we would expect to see a lawsuit filed pretty
(36:15):
quickly from the Attorney General against there. There's just one
of a number of ways that the state has tried
to tamp down on this, especially in the wake of
the controversy of this epic city development. You saw Governor
Greg Abbott signing into law I believe it was, you know,
just just last month, held a signing for a law
that he says is designed to ban Sharia compounds in Texas.
(36:38):
It prevents similar sort of developments. And so we'll see.
But you know, this is an issue that anytime we
talk about it, it certainly gets a lot of I
think a lot of people's attention, and for good reason.
This is something that that people are concerned about.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
All right, Before we get out of here, Ken Patson's
also involved in a lawsuit involving online gambling.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I don't want to talk about that though, talk about
it later.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
More interesting to me is this, And I don't know
if you had a chance to see this yet, Brandon,
but the Alamo, the official Alamo Twitter account yesterday posted
about honoring Indigenous People's Day and their communities and the
Alamo Visitors Center and Indigenous People's Gallery. And I hate
to be the one to remind everybody about this, but
the Alamo was originally a Catholic church, and the reason
(37:23):
we celebrate Christopher Columbus Day yesterday is because back in
the early twentieth century, Democrats calling themselves the ku Klux Klan,
used to ride around the country on horseback harassing Catholic Americans,
many of whom were Italians, to convince them that they
don't belong in America. Of all the places in the
country to not celebrate Indigenous People's Day, I would think
(37:46):
the Alamo, a Catholic church, would be one of those
people that would say, yeah, yeah, this was a holiday
for Catholics, right that historically speaking, that's an objective fact.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 8 (37:57):
Brandon Well, Mike Little sold Than our publisher of course,
actually asked John Buckingham Lane commissioner about this last night
on X and she she responded this morning said you know,
she didn't authorize the posts, that it was unacceptable, it's
been deleted, and that woke has no place at the Alma.
I went on to say what they would do in
reaction to that. It's interesting somebody else pulled up that
(38:20):
the Alamo accounted actually tweeted almost the exact same thing
for the last couple of years, you know, people didn't
really see it, didn't get a lot of attention attraction.
But I would say that the silver lining here is
that people are I think a lot more, a lot
more in tune, and a lot more awakened to be
looking out for this kind of woke talk from our institutions.
(38:43):
And you know, look, you know, of all things, can
we not have the Alamo be off limits in this Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Amen to that. Hey, one more quick question for you.
We went along on this segment, so just a quick answer.
I'd love your take on it. Tomorrow, I have Rachel
Hooper in studio. For those of you who don't know
who she is, she's the lawyer for the Texas Republican Party.
Her and Ken Paxton, in a handful of others are
involved in a lawsuit right now to close the primaries
in the state of Texas. What's the point of having
(39:09):
a political party If anybody can vote in your primary,
you don't need to be a member. Jane Nelson is
the Texas Secretary of State. Apparently she's against it. Governor
rabbits against it. John Cornyn's against it. Dan Crenshaw is
against it. I'm starting to notice a common denominator here
among all the people that are against closing the primaries. Brandon,
are you picking up on it or is it just me?
Speaker 8 (39:34):
It's definitely one of those fights that is pitting, you know,
Republican voters against unfortunately a lot in the Republican establishment.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Right now, Yeah, amen to that. Would you close the primaries?
Speaker 8 (39:45):
Would I absolutely?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
I mean it seems like.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
It's a no brainer, right, Like what happens to guys
like John Cornyn and Crenshaw?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Or how about this? I always point out to people.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Part of the reason why we have a liberal limpristed
House speaker every single legislative session is because of this.
This is downstream from that. You have all these leftists
that get involved in our primaries. The Democrats and far
left activists vote in the Republican primary, you get some
wishy washy candidate who makes it to the general election,
(40:16):
makes it to the Texas House lo and behold, you know,
maybe you didn't hate Dustin Burroughs, but Dade Falen, Dennis Bonnen.
I feel like those two things are connected.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
Yes, it's all downstream of that. You know, take away
any given member right that may or may not benefit
from this just literally in principle. I mean, if you
ask people, should the Republican Party have the right to
deny Democrats voting and choosing its own candidates? I think
you know it's a no brainer. And the fact that
Texas is one of the states that allows this, I
(40:48):
think even in twenty twenty five is it will be wildering.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Brandon Wiltins, I think you are one of the most
underrated people in Texas political media. I think you are
one of the future stars of this industry. Brandon is
a young guy. You wouldn't know it from listening to
him talk on the radio. He sounds like a seasoned
veteran in this industry, and in some ways he kind
of is. If FIVA wanted to follow you on X
