Speaker 1 (00:02):
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 Kenney Webster there. And as
a matter of fact, I think, do we have a clip?
Can we play a clip?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
All right?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Today is Christmas Card Day and December twenty third is
oh crap, I forgot to send Christmas Cards Day, and
then there's throwaway your Christmas Cards Day, which is every
day I receive a Christmas card. Sorry, everybody, I don't
know what to do with them? What do you want?
What am I supposed to do with it? I'm a
single guy, I live in the city. What I'm going
to make a collage with it? What the hell?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Everybody? Welcome back from break Coming up in a little bit,
Brandon Walton's from Texas scorecard dot Com is joining us.
He and I will be talking politics in Texas. But
one thing we're not going to talk about is what
we're going to talk about right now, which is Jasmine Crockett. Ooh,
that was the big reveal, Humble Bragg. I knew she
was gonna announce before she announced. Now, I will tell
(00:59):
you this, that's not that good of a brag. Most
people in Texas politics knew about it. It was kind of
a very poorly kept secret. A secret I was in
on that a less people knew about was that Colin
alrid was going to drop out. First the well, the
poor guy's had a lot of concussions. Remember he used
to play football for a living. I'm sure whatever's going
on in his brain isn't good. I mean, he's a
(01:20):
liberal after all. But all that being said, Colin Allred,
who used to play in the NFL, has already ran
and lost in a Senate race, and whatever the benefits
are from doing it. You know, Wendy Davis and Beto
O'Rourke and all these other Democrats that ran in high
profile statewide campaigns, they never win. But then that's not
the point. They're not supposed to win. They're supposed to
go off and write a book, get a TV deal,
(01:41):
become a lobbyist, and that pays a lot of money.
They know that. I think most people know Jasmine Crockett
is not going to be the next Senator of Texas.
The next Senator of Texas well, I don't even think
it's going to be John Cornyn. I think it's either
going to be Paxton or Wesley Hunt. But that's not important.
Regardless of what happens in the Republican primary, somebody is
going to go up against somebody in the general election.
(02:02):
So right now, it all comes down to two candidates
for the Democrats. One of them is Jasmine Crockett and
the other one is James Tallerica. Now, for those that
don't know who James is, he is not as famous
as our good friend Jasmine is. Unfortunately, well fortunately whatever,
James Tillerico is well known among people in Texas politics.
(02:23):
He's a single white preacher, right He's in seminary school,
and his whole stick, his whole gimmick is that he
finds things in the Bible and he figures out a
way to tell you, oh, this is why the Bible
says it's okay to get an abortion, this is why
the Bible says trans kids are okay. So, you know,
it's almost demonic if you're a religious person. It's very odd.
(02:44):
But I'm in this group text with a bunch of
political people, a bunch of media people, journalists. Some of
them are leftists, they're not all conservatives. Many of them
are Democrats. As a matter of fact, and earlier today
we were having an argument in that group text about
who will be the next who will be the next
Democrat nominee? Who's going to be the candidate for the
Democrats in the Senate race? I said, Jasmine Crockett. I
(03:06):
was the only one that people believe. I was the
only person making that point. Nobody else thought so everyone else,
said James to Allerico. And here's why they said this.
They said, Kenny, Hispanics are not going to vote for Jasmine.
Whites are not going to vote for Jasmine. I said, bs.
White women will definitely vote for Jasmine. They will. But
I'm going to break something down for you, and especially
(03:26):
for my next guest, Daniel Turner from Power to the Future.
I've been a little long in the tooth year. I
want to get his take on this. Here. I'm going
to break down the Democrat primary voters for you. Thirty
three percent of them are black. Those are all going
to Jasmine. Thirty five percent of them are Hispanic. I
bet most of those go to James t Allerico. I
bet most of them do. Unless James comes out as
(03:47):
a gay guy. Then he gets none of them a
remaining twenty five percenter white, non Hispanic. All right on
the line, right now, Daniel Turner from Power the Future.
I know that was the longest intro I ever gave you,
but as you know, I have a lot to say
about this, Daniel. First of all, welcome to the show.
What do you think of who do you think those
votes go to? Twenty nine percent white, thirty five percent Hispanic,
thirty three percent black? Who gets witch vote? Between James
(04:09):
and Jasmine?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Let's hear your take, Jasmin Crockett as it wrapped up
at this point, especially once Colin already announced that he
was not seeking it. He has state nominee as statewide
name recognition, as you mentioned, from running his last campaign,
so he would have been the best candidate. But since
he's not going, Jasmine has it wropped.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It wrapped up.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And the reason why is because white liberals at this
point hate white people. They think whiteness is a crime,
is a sin. Heck, have you seen the white liberals
who are complaining that the color of the year is
that off shade of white. I don't follow follow color
very often in style guides, but I guess this group
announces every year that the color of the year, and
(04:53):
it was this off shade of white and white liberals
were crazy about it. How offensive that is, and we
need to cancel whiteness so you don't get much.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Whiter than James.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And those white people are going to vote for jasmine
because it makes them feel good about themselves.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Daniel from I agree with everything you just said. And
for those that don't know what he's talking about. Pantone
is a company that makes either paint or something. You know,
you get those color swatch you know, the book of
colors that you can get so you can figure out
what color your wall is supposed to be. Listen how
angry white women are about this. You're not going to
convince me that this was not an intentional move. There's
(05:28):
no way that this was an oversight, like someone did
this on purpose.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Pantone just released their Color of the Year for twenty
twenty six and it is severely lacking pigment.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's white.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Not not a good look. The optics of this not good.
Not good.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Pantone is white even technically a color. In the Year
of the.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Alligator, Alcatraz and Sydney Sweeney and her good American Eagle geens.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I just want to explain what we're looking at on
the screen. Here it's a white lady with a white
couch and a white Christmas tree who's offended by the
color white. Now, I know what you're thinking. That must
be the only one. No, there's more. Here's another white
lady burning color pamphlets in her backyard. She's got the
color and she's burning them. You're fired.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You really chose white.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Now, Daniel, How do we talk sense into these people?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
That's why these people are There's no way.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
They can vote for James doing anything with you know,
they're the people who find a black person to take
a photo with, to put it on their Instagram, to
let everybody know they have a black friend.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
They go out of their way to eat Asian food
with their hands, because that's like the new trend now
is you eat with your fingers. It's barbaric and disgusting,
but it shows how you are overcoming colonialism because the
fork as a form of colonial oppression. So these folks
have to vote for Jasmine Crocker, right, It's why they
get excited about Kamala. You know, there were things to
(06:59):
get excited about Obama two thousand and eight because he
was a big liar, right, He pretended he was a moderate,
he pretended he was a patriot, He pretended he had
common sense ideas that would bring us together. We all
know that was a lie. So you could give white
people a pass in two thousand and eight for thinking
Obama was not insane. But those days are long gone.
(07:21):
It's no longer two thousand and eight. And when they
look at someone like Jasmine Crockett, who was genuinely insane
and just.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Flamm I thought it was brilliant. Whatever the statement Krannan put.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Out that she is basically just flamboyant and noise and unseerious,
and that's what she is, and that's exactly why white
people will vote for her, because it makes them feel
better about themselves.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
All right, who do you think? It's the Republican nomination?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So for one, I am going to say that Krannan's
going to pull it out.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And the reason why.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Is because I think that Paxton and Wesley Hunt are
going to divide that faction. Right, there's a lot of
Maga folks that don't believe Cornyn is one of them.
They think he's not conservative enough. There's an awful lot
about Cornyn that I think he's done in the past
that makes me a little disappointed. His June teenth proclamation,
most of all, his gun control legislation most of all. Right,
(08:15):
So I understand that there are conservatives who were unhappy
with Cornyn, but then you have the conservatives who.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now are going to be split. And if it goes a.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Third to third and a third, I think there are.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
More moderates than there are the other two camps, and
I think Cornan pulls it out.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Can I make a prediction right now? And by the way,
I'd be happy with that. I'd be happy with Paxton
or Wesley Hunt. I'd be happy with either of them.
I think they're both great candidates. I think Paxton comes
in first, Wesley comes in second, John comes in third.
None of them have enough to win, so they go
so Pax, Paxton, and Wesley go to a runoff, at
which point Wesley gets all of Cornyn's votes.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Ah, I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
So sexist.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You have to do the majority, it's not plurality. There
you go. Then I would agree with you.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I thought it was just whoever gets the most votes on.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Election would be the winner. People hate Cornyan.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I mean republic primary voters saytem you know, he can't
speak at the state party convention. He got booed off
the stage at his own party's convention.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, I thought his June teenth was a level of
pandering that hurt a lot of people. You know, we
have to rewind the clock and go back to twenty twenty.
The George Floyd debacle. Everything about those couple of weeks
and months, but from the burning of the cities to
the shooting of police, that was a level of insanity. Now,
it was hyped up because it was twenty twenty, because
(09:33):
they didn't want President Trump to win. I think they
were trying to create a moment and they succeeded. You
need senior voices to not pander to the crowd. And
when John Cornyn's like, you know what, we need to
assuage all of the concerns an African American holiday, that
lost it just it pandered, and it showed that it
(09:56):
showed a sense of like white guilt, Like you know what,
we are all guilty for this. There is deep racism
in this country. George Floyd's blood is on all of
our hands, and you don't want that on your elected officials,
one because it's a lie, and two because if you
can't stand up for the truth, what are you going
to ever stand up for?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah? And you know, the thing about Juneteenth is an
interesting point. I'd actually forgotten about that, and I'm neck
deep in Texas politics all the time. The other thing
everyone's mad at him right now for Daniel is Afghanistan.
A lot of these Afghan refugees are here right now
because of a program that John Cornyn and John Kennedy
and Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and all the usual
suspects were responsible for. Not long ago, I found an
(10:36):
old letter from Dan Crenshaw begging the federal government to
send more Afghanistan migrants here. My concern is this, John
Corny's going to eat up a lot of resources trying
to win a primary in his own state. Whether he
wins or not. We've got Senate races and swing states
right now. Georgia one of the two, and I think
North Carolina Michigan. If we lose those races, I blame
(11:00):
John Cornyn for it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I think the big concern that Texas has, and Texas.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Is a red state, there's no doubt Beato got.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
The closest in recent memory, and it was very close
against Ted Cruz, but Cruz still pulled it out. My
biggest concern is that when you anger enough folks on
the right, they do stay home. There's that fascinating statistic
from twenty twelve that said that if Mitt Romney had
just gotten the same amount of white men voters that
(11:30):
John McCain had received four years earlier, he would have
beat Obama in reelection, meaning that a lot of like
thirty five to whatever demographic white men just didn't come
out and vote for Romney. They didn't like the guy,
they didn't vote for him, and they stayed home. Rick
Santorum lost in two thousand and six. I know we're
going back in time now, almost twenty years, same difference, right,
(11:52):
The same Republican voters who voted for Bush in Pennsylvania
and oh four just didn't go out in six. They
don't like the guy. They stayed home. And if Cornyn
does win the general, that could be the biggest concern
is that, I'm sorry, if he wins the primary. The
biggest concern is that you get to the general and
the gops to spend one hundred million dollars just to
get voters out because they're just going to stay home.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's a good point, right. Everybody thinks that Cornyn is
the safe vote. I don't think he is. I think
Paxton or Wesley is the safe vote. Because last year
we had Republicans winning in Texas. It was the second
biggest margin victory for Republicans in a statewide election in
twenty twenty four with Trump on the ballot in the
last two decades. It was a huge victory. And not coincidentally,
(12:37):
it happened after hang on I got the list on
my screen one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight.
New election integrity laws put into effect in just since
the pandemic, including one that's supposed to affect Harris County's
election oversight right here in Houston, where the most shady
stuff happens. If Republicans have a decent candidate, they're going
(12:58):
to win every statewide race in the state. John Cornyn
could actually be the guy that makes everybody lose. Everybody
thinks he's the safe vote. He might It might actually
be the opposite.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It's a It's a great point, and it has to
be deeply concerning for the Senate Committee, because this is
supposed to be one of the safe ones. The good news,
the silver lining in all of this, though, my brother,
is that you can always.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Trust the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
As Rush Limbo would say, if there was a bag
of manure or bag of excrement and he was called
it in the middle of a room.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
They would find a way to step in him.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And if your nominee is Jasmine Crockett, we can always
be fairly confident that she can blow the whole thing up.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I mean, this woman is is.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Insane and unhinged, and the sad thing about politics now
is that she gets off on being more.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And more unhinged. I think our politicians.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Look at Trump and they see how candid he is,
how he's just off the cuff, and they try to
emulate it. But but you know, he's from Queen's and
I'm from Queen's so I can say that with pride,
and he is also almost eighty like there's a naturalness
about his whether you call it his being crass or
his vulgar or his cursing.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Not everyone has that luxury.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So when Jasmine or any other Democrat in particular try
to act like Trump, it's just very off putting, right,
it makes them look look dumb and stupid. When Trump
drops bs or drops the F bomb, it works.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Why is that, Kenny, I don't know why it is.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's the mystery of Donald Trump. But when Democrats do it,
it makes them less likable and Jasmine. The more she
has a microphone and the more she is desperate to win,
the crazier she will get and the wors she will look.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
All right, bottom line made then she had a safe
seat in Congress. Now she's caught, probably going to lose
a Senate race. What what why? What does she want
to do? What's the next thing for her?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean, could the view get worse?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yes, that would be a great spot for her. You
know this NBC gig, she is always going to have
the title of former congresswoman and she can always authoritatively
say when I was in Congress, X, Y, and Z.
So maybe a TV gig, certainly not in any elected
you know what, Kenny, Maybe she runs for your.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Great mayor of Houston. Yeah, and she's from Houston.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
No, she's from Dallas Fort Worth. But it wouldn't stop
her from doing it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
We went way went for anything.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We went, We went way along on this we got
a run my buddy, h Daniel Turner, Powerthefuture dot com
follow him on ex Daniel Turner PTF. He'll be glad
you did. You were listening to Kenny Webster's Pursuit of
Happiness where everyone is welcome, even scum sucking, maggot swallowing
socialist bastards you used to refer to as mom
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 Kenney Webster there. And as
a matter of fact, I think, do we have a clip?
Can we play a clip?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
All right?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Today is Christmas Card Day and December twenty third is
oh crap, I forgot to send Christmas Cards Day, and
then there's throwaway your Christmas Cards Day, which is every
day I receive a Christmas card. Sorry, everybody, I don't
know what to do with them? What do you want?
What am I supposed to do with it? I'm a
single guy, I live in the city. What I'm going
to make a collage with it? What the hell?

and just.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Flamm I thought it was brilliant. Whatever the statement Krannan put.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Out that she is basically just flamboyant and noise and unseerious,
and that's what she is, and that's exactly why white
people will vote for her, because it makes them feel
better about themselves.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
All right, who do you think? It's the Republican nomination?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So for one, I am going to say that Krannan's
going to pull it out.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And the reason why.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Is because I think that Paxton and Wesley Hunt are
going to divide that faction. Right, there's a lot of
Maga folks that don't believe Cornyn is one of them.
They think he's not conservative enough. There's an awful lot
about Cornyn that I think he's done in the past
that makes me a little disappointed. His June teenth proclamation,
most of all, his gun control legislation most of all. Right,
(08:15):
So I understand that there are conservatives who were unhappy
with Cornyn, but then you have the conservatives who.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now are going to be split. And if it goes a.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Third to third and a third, I think there are.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
More moderates than there are the other two camps, and
I think Cornan pulls it out.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Can I make a prediction right now? And by the way,
I'd be happy with that. I'd be happy with Paxton
or Wesley Hunt. I'd be happy with either of them.
I think they're both great candidates. I think Paxton comes
in first, Wesley comes in second, John comes in third.
None of them have enough to win, so they go
so Pax, Paxton, and Wesley go to a runoff, at
which point Wesley gets all of Cornyn's votes.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Ah, I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
So sexist.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You have to do the majority, it's not plurality. There
you go. Then I would agree with you.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I thought it was just whoever gets the most votes on.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Election would be the winner. People hate Cornyan.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I mean republic primary voters saytem you know, he can't
speak at the state party convention. He got booed off
the stage at his own party's convention.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, I thought his June teenth was a level of
pandering that hurt a lot of people. You know, we
have to rewind the clock and go back to twenty twenty.
The George Floyd debacle. Everything about those couple of weeks
and months, but from the burning of the cities to
the shooting of police, that was a level of insanity. Now,
it was hyped up because it was twenty twenty, because
(09:33):
they didn't want President Trump to win. I think they
were trying to create a moment and they succeeded. You
need senior voices to not pander to the crowd. And
when John Cornyn's like, you know what, we need to
assuage all of the concerns an African American holiday, that
lost it just it pandered, and it showed that it
(09:56):
showed a sense of like white guilt, Like you know what,
we are all guilty for this. There is deep racism
in this country. George Floyd's blood is on all of
our hands, and you don't want that on your elected officials,
one because it's a lie, and two because if you
can't stand up for the truth, what are you going
to ever stand up for?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah? And you know, the thing about Juneteenth is an
interesting point. I'd actually forgotten about that, and I'm neck
deep in Texas politics all the time. The other thing
everyone's mad at him right now for Daniel is Afghanistan.
A lot of these Afghan refugees are here right now
because of a program that John Cornyn and John Kennedy
and Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and all the usual
suspects were responsible for. Not long ago, I found an
(10:36):
old letter from Dan Crenshaw begging the federal government to
send more Afghanistan migrants here. My concern is this, John
Corny's going to eat up a lot of resources trying
to win a primary in his own state. Whether he
wins or not. We've got Senate races and swing states
right now. Georgia one of the two, and I think
North Carolina Michigan. If we lose those races, I blame
(11:00):
John Cornyn for it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I think the big concern that Texas has, and Texas.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Is a red state, there's no doubt Beato got.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
The closest in recent memory, and it was very close
against Ted Cruz, but Cruz still pulled it out. My
biggest concern is that when you anger enough folks on
the right, they do stay home. There's that fascinating statistic
from twenty twelve that said that if Mitt Romney had
just gotten the same amount of white men voters that
(11:30):
John McCain had received four years earlier, he would have
beat Obama in reelection, meaning that a lot of like
thirty five to whatever demographic white men just didn't come
out and vote for Romney. They didn't like the guy,
they didn't vote for him, and they stayed home. Rick
Santorum lost in two thousand and six. I know we're
going back in time now, almost twenty years, same difference, right,
(11:52):
The same Republican voters who voted for Bush in Pennsylvania
and oh four just didn't go out in six. They
don't like the guy. They stayed home. And if Cornyn
does win the general, that could be the biggest concern
is that, I'm sorry, if he wins the primary. The
biggest concern is that you get to the general and
the gops to spend one hundred million dollars just to
get voters out because they're just going to stay home.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's a good point, right. Everybody thinks that Cornyn is
the safe vote. I don't think he is. I think
Paxton or Wesley is the safe vote. Because last year
we had Republicans winning in Texas. It was the second
biggest margin victory for Republicans in a statewide election in
twenty twenty four with Trump on the ballot in the
last two decades. It was a huge victory. And not coincidentally,
(12:37):
it happened after hang on I got the list on
my screen one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight.
New election integrity laws put into effect in just since
the pandemic, including one that's supposed to affect Harris County's
election oversight right here in Houston, where the most shady
stuff happens. If Republicans have a decent candidate, they're going
(12:58):
to win every statewide race in the state. John Cornyn
could actually be the guy that makes everybody lose. Everybody
thinks he's the safe vote. He might It might actually
be the opposite.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It's a It's a great point, and it has to
be deeply concerning for the Senate Committee, because this is
supposed to be one of the safe ones. The good news,
the silver lining in all of this, though, my brother,
is that you can always.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Trust the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
As Rush Limbo would say, if there was a bag
of manure or bag of excrement and he was called
it in the middle of a room.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
They would find a way to step in him.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And if your nominee is Jasmine Crockett, we can always
be fairly confident that she can blow the whole thing up.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I mean, this woman is is.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Insane and unhinged, and the sad thing about politics now
is that she gets off on being more.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And more unhinged. I think our politicians.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Look at Trump and they see how candid he is,
how he's just off the cuff, and they try to
emulate it. But but you know, he's from Queen's and
I'm from Queen's so I can say that with pride,
and he is also almost eighty like there's a naturalness
about his whether you call it his being crass or
his vulgar or his cursing.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Not everyone has that luxury.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So when Jasmine or any other Democrat in particular try
to act like Trump, it's just very off putting, right,
it makes them look look dumb and stupid. When Trump
drops bs or drops the F bomb, it works.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Why is that, Kenny, I don't know why it is.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's the mystery of Donald Trump. But when Democrats do it,
it makes them less likable and Jasmine. The more she
has a microphone and the more she is desperate to win,
the crazier she will get and the wors she will look.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
All right, bottom line made then she had a safe
seat in Congress. Now she's caught, probably going to lose
a Senate race. What what why? What does she want
to do? What's the next thing for her?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean, could the view get worse?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yes, that would be a great spot for her. You
know this NBC gig, she is always going to have
the title of former congresswoman and she can always authoritatively
say when I was in Congress, X, Y, and Z.
So maybe a TV gig, certainly not in any elected
you know what, Kenny, Maybe she runs for your.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Great mayor of Houston. Yeah, and she's from Houston.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
No, she's from Dallas Fort Worth. But it wouldn't stop
her from doing it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
We went way went for anything.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We went, We went way along on this we got
a run my buddy, h Daniel Turner, Powerthefuture dot com
follow him on ex Daniel Turner PTF. He'll be glad
you did. You were listening to Kenny Webster's Pursuit of
Happiness where everyone is welcome, even scum sucking, maggot swallowing
socialist bastards you used to refer to as mom
