Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, if you enjoy the Walton Johnson Show like we do,
then you might also enjoy the Pursuit of Happiness show
in the afternoon with oh Kinney Webster there.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And as a matter of fact, I think, do we
have a clip? Can we play a clip?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I've made this point before on the air, but I
want to make it again. I think right now, in
this little corner in history that we're currently living in,
in American politics, there's probably no journalist more important than
Laura Lumer. Laura Lumer is probably the most influential journalist
in the United States of America right now. Argue with
me about that. Feel free, but understand every word that
(00:42):
she writes. Donald Trump reads The President of the United
States reads everything this woman writes. And he's not the
only one. Jeff Landry reads everything that she writes. The
Governor of Louisiana, Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas,
Congressman Wesley Hunt. There's a reason why Laura Lumer, who
is affiliated with any major news outlet, is so influential.
(01:04):
This woman wakes up early in the morning and works
until very late at night. The work ethic is intimidating,
but the coverage that she's doing. That is what is
most important. Laura is covering stories the mainstream media is
afraid to cover the Islamification of Texas. This is massively important.
You see on the front lines of the culture war
(01:24):
in this state. There's nothing more important right now than
stopping Islam from destroying the fabric of this culture. I mean,
it's true, we're importing large numbers of people from Islamic countries.
They're coming into the country. They don't agree with Southern hospitality,
they don't agree with Christian traditions, they don't agree with
evangelical values and frontier individualism. And as this is taking place,
(01:47):
one of our senior senators in the state while these
senior Senator John Cornyn doesn't seem to agree. Unfortunately, Laura
broke a story yesterday fascinating stuff covering Ken Paxton, our
Attorney General, uncovering illegal activities from the Jahannas developers of
Epic City. And that's what it is, the East Plano
Islamic community. It's a Sharia law compound in Texas, not
(02:11):
terribly different than what Colony Ridge is for illegal immigrants
here in the state of Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's what Epic City is.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Supposed to be basically in Hoa where you're living in
Saudi Arabia or cobble on the line right now. Laura
Luhmer did some coverage of the story yesterday, pointing out
some of the things that Senator John Cornyn had said
about Jehadis moving into the state, and I find this
to be fascinating.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Laura, thank you so much for your time this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, thanks for having me. It's great to be here.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Laura, break it down for me.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
As you see what Ken Paxton's doing, what do you
think the role is of the other candidates in the
Senate race.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Let's start with John Cornyn.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
On one hand, you have the Attorney General trying to
stop a Sharia compound from popping up in the Dallas
Fort Worth area, and then on the other hand, his opponent,
John Cornyn seems to be embraced the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah. Look, I mean there's a big problem in our
country right now with the Islamification of America, and Texas
has really ground zero for this. I think it has
a lot to do with the fact that you guys
are a border state and under the Biden regime, and
really since since the Obama administration, Texas and really our
whole country, but especially Texas being there on the UH
(03:23):
on the border has been flooded with g hotties. And
that's why you can't go a block without seeing a
new mosque pop up anywhere you go in Texas. All
you have to do is look online and look at
some of these mosque maps and you'll see that the
entire state is surrounded by mosque and UH. One of
the latest, you know, additions to the Islamification of Texas
(03:45):
is this Sharia compound known as Epic City. And of course,
you know, after a widespread outrage on social media, all
of these candidates have release statements over the last few
months addressing the Sharia compound. But yeahctually see Ken Paxton
put in his money where his mouth is and cracking
down and you know, saying that he has uncovered a
(04:07):
legal activity by developers and he has requested a referral
from State Securities Board to file a lawsuit. And what
do you have John Coryn doing. Well, just look at
John Cornan's record. He can say all he wants to go. Oh, well,
you know, it's an election year and I'm going to
refer this to the DOJ for an investigation. But let's
look at his record. He's on video pandering to Muslims
(04:28):
saying inshallah. He's he's on the record writing letters to
Islamic Relief, which is one of the Islamic so called
charities organizations that got caught up during the Holy Land
Foundation terrorism trial, which took place in Texas, our nation's
largest terrorism financing trial ever, highlighting the fact that these
Islamic charities and five am C three organizations are using
(04:50):
their tax exempt status to raise money for jihad. And
what does he do. He does nothing. He writes letters
saying that it's his honor to represent them, saying that
it's his honor to be the senator for Islamic Relief.
You know, it's a big problem. We have photos of
John Cornyn with Katari representatives talking about how great it
(05:12):
is to meet with representatives from Qatar. Now we have
this deal where the United States is going to be
training Katari pilots on US soil. It's like Americans never
learned their lesson after nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, it's also interesting too, John Cornyn received contributions from
an Iranian linked pack. Ia Pack is what it's called
not to be confused with a PAC, which is the
Israel Group. Ia PAC is a political action committee with
ties to Iran. A lot of people have asked questions
about whether or not Iran has any influence on John
and obviously by proxy through the oil and gas community,
(05:44):
there does appear to be some money trinkling down the
well there into John Cornyn's, you know, political hands, into
the hands of the people that he works with.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I wonder why more people don't care about this.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I see you calling him out for this, I see
Amy Peck calling him out for this. The guy is
very soft on radical Islam. And I also find it
kind of concerning, being a resident of the Dallas Fort
Worth area that in Houston ground zero right now for
people trying to push Sharia on the lone Star State.
I noticed you asked Wesley Hunt on social media this week,
(06:18):
does he believe Islam is incompatible with Western civilization? How
does he feel about the epic community the Sharia compound?
He responded to you on social media. I'm curious what
you thought about his response.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I actually thought that his response was great. Now what
really matters is whether or not he's actually going to
practice what he's preaching. I don't really understand why he's
running first. It seems like it's going to be a
big waste of money. And that's not an attack on
his character. It's just to say that we have these
g hottie candidates running across America. We have a mayor's
(06:54):
race in New York City in three weeks. New York
City's about to fall to a Muslim communist. We have
a open Muslim Brotherhood operative who pledged allegiance to the
Muslim Brotherhood running for Senate on the Democrat ticket in
uh In Michigan, you have a Sharia compliant Ti Hattie
Muslim woman who wears a key job who is running
for the governor of Georgia, Georgia, Michigan, New York, Texas.
(07:19):
Where does it end, right? And so my question is
is he actually going to practice what he preaches? And
and why is he running a race that he cannot win?
And you know, pretty much pretty much helping in a sense,
helping John Cornyan because we all know what's going to happen.
It's going to lead to a runoff election. And from
my understanding, you guys have open primaries, so you're going
(07:40):
to have a bunch of Democrats led the polls and
are gonna support John Cornyan, because as we know, Democrats
vote and support John Cornyan. You have Jasmine Crockett on video,
probably the most radical Democrat in Congress aside from the
Muslims in Congress or she had to leave, and ilhan
Omar saying that she really likes Jean Cornan and he's
just such a nice man, and that he's not actually
(08:03):
pro Trump, he's anti Maga, which is why they're buddy buddy,
so Leslie Hunt. Maybe his intentions are good. I thank
him for a service to our country, obviously, you know,
as somebody who was almost blown up by Muslims, he
seems to have a really good understanding of the threat
of his blom. But if you can't win, you can't win.
And we don't need to be wasting hundreds of millions
of dollars on a primary to satisfy people's egos and
(08:25):
their vanity projects when we could be using this money
to actually defeat the Islamic enemy across our country. I mean,
people just have to realize if you're not going to
be polling about forty percent, you can't raise millions of dollars.
Get the hell out of the race. Get the hell
out of the race. We don't need to we don't
need to be having vanity projects when we're in the
(08:46):
fight to save our country from this Islamo fascist takeover.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Is that amazing?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
This guy John Corny's spending three million dollars a week
to stop Ken Paxton from taking his job and now
apparently to stop Leslie Hunt. I I don't know what
the internal polling says, Laura. People have told me that
Wesley seems to be taking as many votes away from
John as he is away from Ken. If that's true,
I welcome it. I think Wesley and Ken Paxton in
(09:11):
a runoff and John Cornan spending seventy million dollars to
come in third place. That's music to my ears. But hey,
I digress. Let's talk about this for a minute. You
guys have closed primaries in Texas coming up in a
short time. Here, Rachel Hooper is joining us. She is
the attorney for the Texas Republican Party trying to close
the primary. She's working very quick closely with Attorney General
(09:32):
Ken Paxton. I can't help but notice Governor Abbott's Secretary
of State is working against this effort. John Cornyn's people
are against this effort. Dan Crenshaw's people are against this effort.
Have you noticed there's a common denominator between all these people.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, yeah, they're all Rhinos, okay, and they all are
anti Trump. So yeah, yeah. Greg Abbott who allowed his
state to be flooded by criminal illegal aliens and has
done really absolutely nothing to actually enforce the law. He
does a lot of complaining, right, but he seems to
have no spine. Then you have Dan Crenshaw, they call
(10:10):
him I Patch McCain. Okay, we already know his record
in opposing President Trump and opposing the MAGA agenda. And
John cornyman, I mean, look, the common denominator is all
of these men have been able to run on a
Republican ticket because of the open primary system in Texas
that allows for Democrats to vote for these people. Because
they know that Texans for the most part, are so conservative.
(10:33):
So if they're going to vote for a Republican or
they're going to end up with a Republican, they're not
going to throw their vote away by voting for a Democrat.
They're going to vote for this leftening Trump Republican on
the ballot. So look, I think that it's common sense.
I think all primaries should be closed, because why would
you want to have Democrats participating in your primary to
sabotage the system. I mean, if I had open primaries
(10:56):
that maybe I probably would. I probably would vote in
the Democrat primary to try to sabotage their primary. I mean,
it's a pretty smart thinking process. So if you don't
want your your primaries to be sabotaged by people who
are going to try to vote against the candidates that
you know, our most conservatives, then close them. You're not
(11:17):
depriving anybody of their vote. The Democrats can go vote
in their primaries, and the Republicans can go in their primaries,
and if you're independents, you have to choose a party
affiliation to vote in the primary or have to fit
it out. I think that's a good process. It's how
it works here in Florida, and I think it's one
of the main reasons why we've been able to, you know,
keep Florida red for the most part.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Laura, you are for some I mean you're young, you're
a young millennial. You're practically a Zoomer. You're one of
the youngest people in your industry, certainly the youngest that's
been this influential, and I find I mean, I just
think that's really impressive. But one of the things that's
so remarkable about you, you were an activist. You came
out with a splash, it was a big deal. You
tried to run for office. The establishment got in your way,
(12:01):
they blocked you in every direction. Then you became an
independent journalist. It's very inspiring how you went from one
thing to the next. The establishment essentially wouldn't let you
run for office, so you started your own news outlet,
and now that has become arguably one of the most
influential media outlets in the industry, certainly the independent industry.
(12:21):
I was wondering if you could speak to that for
a minute. You know, we have a lot of listeners,
young conservatives that tune into the show that want to
try to do something like that. Do you ever feel
unsafe to you, what are the hurdles, like, what's that like?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, I mean, look, I got death threats every single day, right,
So every day I get death threats, and it's just
you know, it's not excusable, but it's part of the
territory of doing this work and speaking out and being effective.
And you know, you mentioned the President reads my content
and sometimes makes decisions after reading my content and you know,
seeing my reports. But you know, I would just encourage
(12:56):
people to not be a part of the system, be
your own voice, find the power of your voice, because
one voice truly can make a difference, and you don't
have to be a part of the establishment. Now sure,
you know it comes with some trade offs, Like you know,
you're certainly not going to be like swimming in cash.
I mean, I'm certainly not rolling in it. But you know,
(13:17):
I really value the ability to be able to be
independent and not having to answer to anybody. And there's
no amount of money that I would take to sell
my soul to you know, have somebody self censor me
or to tell me that I'm not allowed to say
something or I'm not allowed to do something. So for me,
it's about being able to truly be an independent change maker.
(13:39):
And I couldn't do it without the support of my
day Americans and people who support my work, and they
choose to give power to my voice by by supporting
me as an independent voice. But you know, it's not
something that happens overnight. Obviously, I've been attacked. I ran
for office twice and the establishment worked against me. They
(14:00):
worked against me harder than they spent going against the Democrat.
They spent more money campaigning against my Republican primary than
they did against the Democrat challenger. Who uh.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, but you just got.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You just got to keep on fighting, right, I'm still
sensored on a lot of social media platforms, but I
don't may, I don't use it as an excuse to
stop doing what I'm doing. And you just got to
you gotta have, you know, conviction and what you believe.
And I really do believe that the Islamification of America
is the most important issue right now. We we we
(14:36):
spent so much effort trying to settle this conflict between
Israel and Hamas. Now what is President Trump going to
do to settle the war between the Muslims and the
infidels here in the homeland. What is he going to do?
And I think that Republican voters really need to start
waking up to the threat of Islam and the fact
that uh it states like Texas where you have Chip Roy,
Greg Abbott Florida you got Rondasantis Randy Fine and now, oh,
(15:00):
you know, in Alabama you have Tubberville talking about no
Sharia legislation. So what does it tell you of states
like Alabama, Texas, and Florida red states? I mean, I
know Texas is a bit purple. What does it tell
you though these fictionally red states are having to pass
legislation to ban Sharia. That means that they have a
Muslim problem in those states. Imagine how bad the Muslim
(15:21):
problem is in the Blue States. Imagine how bad the
Muslim problem is in the Blue States if the Republicans
are having create legislation in their own states to address
the islamifications. So you know, yeah, every single Muslim to
take over every single you know, brutal conquest done by
Muslims has been carried out over time by a Muslim minority.
(15:44):
You don't need to have a majority. People say, oh,
they're only two percent of the population, you're overreacting. They've
always been two percent of the population in every single
conquest in which they've been successful in taking over. So
you know, you don't you don't need to have a
Muslim majority in order to have an Lama takeover. These
people are militant, they're militarized. Every single mosque is a
(16:04):
military center. Yeah. You look at if you look at
the Kuran and you look at it. They instruct Muslims
to view their mosque as like a military command post
to carry out, you know, warfare against the non Muslims.
And just look at a map. You are surrounded, you
are you are surrounded. Texas is surrounded by by military outposts,
(16:27):
Islamic military outposts. So keep that in mind when you think, oh, well,
you know these people are just praying. No, it's not
a place of worship. It's a it's a it's a
military it's a military command center. Yeah, every single mosque
in America is a military command center.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Boy, I've been saying it for years. I completely agree
with you. You live in Florida, we live in Texas, two
places with lots of pretty girls in the beach wearing bikinis.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And it's kind of amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
The Party of neo feminism wants to import a culture
that's against that. I think that's remarkable. We went way
long on this segment, but Laura had a lot to say,
and I wanted the radio listeners to say to hear
Laura Lumer, you have to follow her on x check
out her work online, lumor Unleashed Laura, keep up the
great work. You're doing awesome and we really appreciate your
(17:10):
time this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Thanks. I appreciate it. And people want to see my reports,
they can follow me on x at Laura Lumer again,
that's x at Laura Lumer or Lumer Unleashed. Appreciate it,
I love it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Coming up, Rachel Hooper is waiting in the green room
right now, the attorney for the Texas GOP. We're going
to talk about closing the primaries.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The pursuit of the Happiness Radio is more than just
a talk show.
Hey, if you enjoy the Walton Johnson Show like we do,
then you might also enjoy the Pursuit of Happiness show
in the afternoon with oh Kinney Webster there.

fight to save our country from this Islamo fascist takeover.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Is that amazing?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
This guy John Corny's spending three million dollars a week
to stop Ken Paxton from taking his job and now
apparently to stop Leslie Hunt. I I don't know what
the internal polling says, Laura. People have told me that
Wesley seems to be taking as many votes away from
John as he is away from Ken. If that's true,
I welcome it. I think Wesley and Ken Paxton in
(09:11):
a runoff and John Cornan spending seventy million dollars to
come in third place. That's music to my ears. But hey,
I digress. Let's talk about this for a minute. You
guys have closed primaries in Texas coming up in a
short time. Here, Rachel Hooper is joining us. She is
the attorney for the Texas Republican Party trying to close
the primary. She's working very quick closely with Attorney General
(09:32):
Ken Paxton. I can't help but notice Governor Abbott's Secretary
of State is working against this effort. John Cornyn's people
are against this effort. Dan Crenshaw's people are against this effort.
Have you noticed there's a common denominator between all these people.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, yeah, they're all Rhinos, okay, and they all are
anti Trump. So yeah, yeah. Greg Abbott who allowed his
state to be flooded by criminal illegal aliens and has
done really absolutely nothing to actually enforce the law. He
does a lot of complaining, right, but he seems to
have no spine. Then you have Dan Crenshaw, they call
(10:10):
him I Patch McCain. Okay, we already know his record
in opposing President Trump and opposing the MAGA agenda. And
John cornyman, I mean, look, the common denominator is all
of these men have been able to run on a
Republican ticket because of the open primary system in Texas
that allows for Democrats to vote for these people. Because
they know that Texans for the most part, are so conservative.
(10:33):
So if they're going to vote for a Republican or
they're going to end up with a Republican, they're not
going to throw their vote away by voting for a Democrat.
They're going to vote for this leftening Trump Republican on
the ballot. So look, I think that it's common sense.
I think all primaries should be closed, because why would
you want to have Democrats participating in your primary to
sabotage the system. I mean, if I had open primaries
(10:56):
that maybe I probably would. I probably would vote in
the Democrat primary to try to sabotage their primary. I mean,
it's a pretty smart thinking process. So if you don't
want your your primaries to be sabotaged by people who
are going to try to vote against the candidates that
you know, our most conservatives, then close them. You're not
(11:17):
depriving anybody of their vote. The Democrats can go vote
in their primaries, and the Republicans can go in their primaries,
and if you're independents, you have to choose a party
affiliation to vote in the primary or have to fit
it out. I think that's a good process. It's how
it works here in Florida, and I think it's one
of the main reasons why we've been able to, you know,
keep Florida red for the most part.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Laura, you are for some I mean you're young, you're
a young millennial. You're practically a Zoomer. You're one of
the youngest people in your industry, certainly the youngest that's
been this influential, and I find I mean, I just
think that's really impressive. But one of the things that's
so remarkable about you, you were an activist. You came
out with a splash, it was a big deal. You
tried to run for office. The establishment got in your way,
(12:01):
they blocked you in every direction. Then you became an
independent journalist. It's very inspiring how you went from one
thing to the next. The establishment essentially wouldn't let you
run for office, so you started your own news outlet,
and now that has become arguably one of the most
influential media outlets in the industry, certainly the independent industry.
(12:21):
I was wondering if you could speak to that for
a minute. You know, we have a lot of listeners,
young conservatives that tune into the show that want to
try to do something like that. Do you ever feel
unsafe to you, what are the hurdles, like, what's that like?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, I mean, look, I got death threats every single day, right,
So every day I get death threats, and it's just
you know, it's not excusable, but it's part of the
territory of doing this work and speaking out and being effective.
And you know, you mentioned the President reads my content
and sometimes makes decisions after reading my content and you know,
seeing my reports. But you know, I would just encourage
(12:56):
people to not be a part of the system, be
your own voice, find the power of your voice, because
one voice truly can make a difference, and you don't
have to be a part of the establishment. Now sure,
you know it comes with some trade offs, Like you know,
you're certainly not going to be like swimming in cash.
I mean, I'm certainly not rolling in it. But you know,
(13:17):
I really value the ability to be able to be
independent and not having to answer to anybody. And there's
no amount of money that I would take to sell
my soul to you know, have somebody self censor me
or to tell me that I'm not allowed to say
something or I'm not allowed to do something. So for me,
it's about being able to truly be an independent change maker.
(13:39):
And I couldn't do it without the support of my
day Americans and people who support my work, and they
choose to give power to my voice by by supporting
me as an independent voice. But you know, it's not
something that happens overnight. Obviously, I've been attacked. I ran
for office twice and the establishment worked against me. They
(14:00):
worked against me harder than they spent going against the Democrat.
They spent more money campaigning against my Republican primary than
they did against the Democrat challenger. Who uh.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, but you just got.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You just got to keep on fighting, right, I'm still
sensored on a lot of social media platforms, but I
don't may, I don't use it as an excuse to
stop doing what I'm doing. And you just got to
you gotta have, you know, conviction and what you believe.
And I really do believe that the Islamification of America
is the most important issue right now. We we we
(14:36):
spent so much effort trying to settle this conflict between
Israel and Hamas. Now what is President Trump going to
do to settle the war between the Muslims and the
infidels here in the homeland. What is he going to do?
And I think that Republican voters really need to start
waking up to the threat of Islam and the fact
that uh it states like Texas where you have Chip Roy,
Greg Abbott Florida you got Rondasantis Randy Fine and now, oh,
(15:00):
you know, in Alabama you have Tubberville talking about no
Sharia legislation. So what does it tell you of states
like Alabama, Texas, and Florida red states? I mean, I
know Texas is a bit purple. What does it tell
you though these fictionally red states are having to pass
legislation to ban Sharia. That means that they have a
Muslim problem in those states. Imagine how bad the Muslim
(15:21):
problem is in the Blue States. Imagine how bad the
Muslim problem is in the Blue States if the Republicans
are having create legislation in their own states to address
the islamifications. So you know, yeah, every single Muslim to
take over every single you know, brutal conquest done by
Muslims has been carried out over time by a Muslim minority.
(15:44):
You don't need to have a majority. People say, oh,
they're only two percent of the population, you're overreacting. They've
always been two percent of the population in every single
conquest in which they've been successful in taking over. So
you know, you don't you don't need to have a
Muslim majority in order to have an Lama takeover. These
people are militant, they're militarized. Every single mosque is a
(16:04):
military center. Yeah. You look at if you look at
the Kuran and you look at it. They instruct Muslims
to view their mosque as like a military command post
to carry out, you know, warfare against the non Muslims.
And just look at a map. You are surrounded, you
are you are surrounded. Texas is surrounded by by military outposts,
(16:27):
Islamic military outposts. So keep that in mind when you think, oh, well,
you know these people are just praying. No, it's not
a place of worship. It's a it's a it's a
military it's a military command center. Yeah, every single mosque
in America is a military command center.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Boy, I've been saying it for years. I completely agree
with you. You live in Florida, we live in Texas, two
places with lots of pretty girls in the beach wearing bikinis.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And it's kind of amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
The Party of neo feminism wants to import a culture
that's against that. I think that's remarkable. We went way
long on this segment, but Laura had a lot to say,
and I wanted the radio listeners to say to hear
Laura Lumer, you have to follow her on x check
out her work online, lumor Unleashed Laura, keep up the
great work. You're doing awesome and we really appreciate your

I love it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Coming up, Rachel Hooper is waiting in the green room
right now, the attorney for the Texas GOP. We're going
to talk about closing the primaries.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The pursuit of the Happiness Radio is more than just
a talk show.
