Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't think about it as losing your job.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Just think about it like you're becoming an independent contractor.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
But you don't have a contract right now.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Oh yeah, you're between contracts, that's all. That's all it is,
between work.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
No, you still have a job of what would you
say you did at the Department of Education.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
But you say you do here. And that's going to
be tough to come up with something to keep you
from currently losing the contract that you're under. And everybody's
supposed to feel sorry for these colleges. Trump just froze.
How much was it from the penn State or one
of these colleges. I just saw it on the news
(00:37):
a minute ago. But there's so much talk about all
these colleges, right, wasn't.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That his alma mona? No, he went to U Penn.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I forget which one he Trump suspends one hundred and
seventy five million dollars for penn over trans swimmer.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Okay, so yes, University of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, and all of the story in the New York
Post this morning about the American colleges that are filthy rich.
They are hoarding billions of dollars and they still cry
when Trump targets their federal funding. It's like, you've got
all that money from all those rich people that have
been putting money into their old school for years, but
(01:14):
you still just take the federal money, the taxpayer dollars,
and save all the rest of that for yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, this is where he went to college. Bro.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He attended the Wharton School of Business at the University
of Pennsylvania, where he got a bachelor's of Science and economics.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So Trump, that's his.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You know, I believe John Walton's daughter went to that
same school.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Dude. Oh that's cool, right, I like her. She's sweet.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He did it to his own university. He did it
to his own what is it called Alma model. That's hilarious.
Come on, that makes it even spicier, doesn't it. It's like,
what school? His own school? Wait, he has no allegiance
to his own Nope, doesn't give it that dude. That
makes me like him more. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
She apparently Trump said it was Pam Bondi's idea.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Fine, Now you're down with Pam. I get what you're
trying to do there. I know I have no idea,
you know, I want to like her. Right, It's not
like I want her to suck. I want her to
be good. But you remember, this is the second time
this happened. Here's my concern. This time around. The Trump
cabinet is better. It's just objectively better.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, he has a little bit more experience and what
he's going to have to be dealing with.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, I mean, nobody thought, what who is the guy
that we.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
All thought Trump thought? I thought everybody thought, Okay, once
the election's over and he was president twenty sixteen, surely
these people don't hate him or hate Republicans so much
that they would actually hurt the country. Oh yes, they
would love to hurt this country more if we would
just give him the chance.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Right, I mean, who is the head of the FBI then,
James Comer, who's ahead of it now?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Cash Patal. I'd feel like that's an upgrade.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Who is one of the top people in the medical
industry that back then he had Fauci, Now we got
RFK Junior. I know that's not the same job, but
still similar roles. Someone will write an email and argue
I disagree already. Uh okay, uh. General Millie clearly a douchebag,
a steaming file of expired douchebag? Now who we got
(03:19):
Pete Hagseth infinitely better? The people at the Pentagon running
things right clearly. But back then Trump one point out
Jeff Sessions. Jeff Sessions sucked on a molecular level. He
was terrible. He was one of the worst attorney generals
we ever had. Who've we got now, Pam Bondy, this
is a really important role. We have an administration that
(03:39):
is dealing with lawfair, lawfair. Didn't people didn't understand what
that was a decade.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I think Kenny's been listening to CE and N too long.
That's what I'm thinking. Is this on? Hey, oh hey,
this one's on. I is my regular microphone. Billy ed
Hatfield here to report on the report. Billy out is
here to look lob hand grenades at me. You know
what you remind me of? Right now?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Who's that?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
All them Democrats on the news that are going well,
Let's see, Trump's been in charge for five hours now,
and I don't think he's done anything. He hasn't lived
up to one of his promises. Well, Trump's been in
charge for two weeks now and really not coming through
on those promises and said, well, Pam Bondy's been there.
What a month is Trump? Pam Bondy, Trump's no, don't
(04:23):
here the Democrat complaining about things not happening fast enough.
You like the Saints, right, You're you're the you're the
news guy. That's like, you just got a dog Trump,
no matter what he does. Well, Billy, you got a dog.
Pam Bondy. See you got to you like a pit
bull on a pork roast, and her name is Pam.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I asked you a question. You like the New Orleans Saints?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I like the Saints?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You okay?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
So as far as the NFL goes, you know, that's
that's kind of a way to lean.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Can you watch a football game with the Saints and
like the quarterback but criticize the linebacker?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Can you do that? I could?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I could not like the quarterback and still be a
fan of the team. Well that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Could you criticize the offensive coach while while agreeing the
defensive coach is doing a good job?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well sure, but not day one, not game one, not
week one. I think I might let him have two
or three more weeks to get you know, get his
legs under him, Well, Pam Bondi just wore in I
think like Thursday last week.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Liberals like Nazi analogies. Kenny likes nacho analogies.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Nachos.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'm gonna give you a nacho analogy right now. Food coming, Okay,
I'm glad I got your attention. I'm bringing out a
play in nachos. Billy had this play the nacho's got
tortilla chips. Boy, you like the tortilla chips.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You gonna do the whole thing where you're gonna get
around us something I don'tmicado on the top of it,
to the chase.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You see where this is going.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Where you're going with Billy has no simpse whatsoever Billy had.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You're getting a layer of cash ptel tortilla chips. You're
getting some Pete Hagseth with melted cheese. You're getting a
doll up of who's another guy here? Jd Vance sour
cream right on top. You like jlapenos, We're gonna give
you some some RFK Junior halapenos. And then right in
the middle of it, I'm gonna give you a big
old scoop of Pam Bondi guacamole.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, you know, not doing that.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I think, Hey, so you agree the rest of the
play was fine.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Don't you think maybe with uh she has more duties
than than you're aware of, that she might need more
than just about three and a half weeks to maybe
get get rolling on some of the things that she
has to do.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yes, I would believe that if not for the fact
that I know something else. I know where she is
because she's on TV.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
In order for me to for what you're saying to
be true, we would have to not know where she is.
We do know where she is. She's on TV all
the time. She's doing radio interviews all the time. She's
on podcasts all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Look at TV, you're out there. No, but she Hey,
to your point, she was just on last night. She
was on Fox News last night. She's not there right now,
not this second period. All the time? Was every all
the time, Kenny, A lot. Okay, that's different.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
This woman spends a lot of time in front of
a camera, a lot of time in front of a
microphone because a bunch of.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
People won't stop asking her questions about why hadn't she
done her job yet when she could do her job
a lot better? If people would stop asking her questions
all the time about doing her job and let her
actually get to work.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Are you sleeping with Pam BONDI.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Was hoping what you know? You're cutting me off? I
tell you, man, I got no shot if if she
finds out. I know you.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Here's the thing, though, I am willing to change my
opinion when new information arrives. I'm not one of those
guys that just believes this is good and that's bad.
Look how we used to talk about little Marco. We
don't even call him little Marco anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Now we call him badass Marco. Marco Rubio's balls finally dropped.
This guy finally sprouted some and I'm on the Marco team.
Over here, Marco Rubio lobbing out hand grenades of his
own figuratively speaking, I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
And that brings us to our next topic, to or Pam.
I don't know if people just want to pick on
her like they pick on me around here? Who people,
how she feels? Y'all pick on me like a crusty
old bogger Every morning.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You have the easiest job in radio.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You you co host a Ray d show where a
bunch of other people do all the heavy lifting for you.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And aren't you the engineer around here?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
About the one around here that does any work?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And yet when something breaks you text some other guy
calls him, Hey, guys, go get this cable run down.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
There, it's cold. Uh. They got a word for it
where I'd tell other people to do stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Leadership. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
All wat's to get excited about?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What's to get excited about it? Well, let's see, it's Thursday, right.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
It's just Thursday, just a regulars. Well, everyone, I am very
excited about it. Brought this show Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Wait on Texas, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is traveling around
the state threatening THHC retailers, people who operate in that
gray area of what qualifies as a THHC shop. He's
who's doing this, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick in Texas?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
And who put him up to it? Was or this
was just his idea.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I guess he's getting into the is he up for
reelection or something and he's got to make it look
like he's doing something.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Or he's opening up his own THHD shopping in the
near future. And he was almost to get rid of
all the competition. I don't know, but it seems like
they might have bigger things to you to spend their
time doing.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, no, no, Billy, I'd encouraging people to buy their
smoking products off the black market instead of local legal businesses.
That's obviously safer for the general public.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So this always ends well when we and uh, these
seemingly mundane products that aren't really affecting anything, we want
you to buy him from some sketchy guy named Tito
in a dorm room instead of instead of the state
of Texas getting a little bit of sales text for.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It the good old days, that's what those were. Dan
solve a real problem, bro, I mean, exactly, have you
run out of things to do? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Nothing in our states, in the Texas State House gets passed,
None of the none of the legislature we send to them,
moves anywhere, goes anywhere. Why don't Why don't you get
involved in that? You know you're in the Capitol. I
know you work in the Senate that's across the hall
or whatever. But can't you go over there and help
whip the votes or.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You know they do that?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, what they do.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, what if I told you no one actually cares
if a guy in Lubbock bought some Delta eight over
the counter from some store and paid sales tax and
you know, money went to the local schools.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Who cares? You know what?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Heywood Harvest has a lot of that Delta eight, all
those products. I believe my lawyer has told me not
to answer those questions on the air. That's what I've heard.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But I can tell you if you go to Heywood
Harvest dot com and use promo code W and J huh,
that those products are legal in the whole country because
Donald Trump signed the Farm Act. But I guess Dan
Patrick doesn't like mega policies like.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He does Heywood Harvest. I'm pretty sure that's what they
got though, because that's what they send to me at
my house. Yeah it Maybe dan Patrick hasn't heard yet,
but this is happening because of something Donald Trump did.
Maybe you need to educate that boy.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Mmmmmm.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
In the meantime, Trump is being sued again. He's always
being sued by somebody. This time him and Elon Musk,
both mentioned in the lawsuit they Peter is suing them
now said they are intentionally endangering the lives of innocent dolphins.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh no, I didn't realize those dolphins.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Elon Musk keeps targeting dolphin pods with his dang splashdowns
from space. He killed a bunch of them just the
other day. M And Elon, Uh, he's gonna have to
learn his lesson. Peter won't put up with it. Wow,
that's tough man. That sucks, man. Why does he?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Is that possible that those you know, I've heard both
that Elon Musk is an alien from outer space?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You've heard that before?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, And I've also heard the dolphins are aliens from
outer space.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Have you ever heard that?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You think maybe you know they know each other? Well,
what if the conspiracy theories are their enemies, right, Yeah,
he's trying to them gield.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
What if this is like a men in Black thing
where aliens from other planets are having secret wars on
our planet, behind the scenes, but behind a veil, and
we don't know what's going on now, and we were
just seeing little inklings of it.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
What were those dolphins doing there?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And maybe we did know more than we thought we knew,
But then we got that flashlight in our face and
it went and then they wiped out our memory of
all of the things that we thought we knew.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Now that I've considered that that could be what happened,
I won't believe any other explanation.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Pretty much all it can be.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, yeah, eight six six, I love WJ We're awake,
You're awake. Trump having a little fun yesterday off the
cuff conversation in the Oval office with Laura Ingram.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I like her because she says, jee Biden.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, I like what any and Kamala used to do that,
Joe Biden, Biden, jee Biden.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
They get a kick when I'm doing other work and
doing a news conference. When you had another guy that
couldn't name his favorite ice cream, they always used to
ask him, what's your favorite Icekay? He's still a press conference, lady,
and Joe.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Will you talk to him again?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Joe Biden, Joe Biden. Do you ever call any former president?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Jenny, call any of the former president?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
A lot was made out of the fact that I
got along very well with President Obama. Right just said that.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yeah, and I can.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
At Carter's funeral, you know what I think happened.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
They're at They're showing a shot on the screen right
now of Trump and Obama at Carter's funeral and they're
getting along cracking jokes. Does everyone remember when they have
Is it possible that they both just didn't like Carter
and you finally like, for their own personal reasons.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And might have nothing to do with Carter. Look who's
sitting right in front of them.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
In front of them is Kamala and Doug m Hoff. Boy,
I wish I could forget his name.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
They were just cracking jokes about Kamala because you know,
neither one of them have any respect for that.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And the other funniest thing that happened at the Carter
funeral was George W. Bush walks in and he, like
any high fives Obama and then gives him a belly slap.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You think he popped him in a nut.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It was something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's like a little there you go.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And the weirdest thing about that is that's.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Like what I would do if I saw you at
a funeral, I'd be like, hey, what's up, billy.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I'd slappy in the nuts there, but.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You're too far put you on the ground. I'm just
saying it's endearing. It's the kind of thing regular people do.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
And yeah, the president, you know Bush, and I guess
maybe they've got their little they got their ways of
doing things.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Let me be clear about this.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Another man touching me in the area, and I don't
think you should want to touch me in that area.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Take a billy, what I'm getting at. It just seemed like, okay,
calm down, buddy. I've never cared for George W.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Bush. I didn't like his policies. He was too fiscally
on the left, he was too too much of a Democrat.
Well yeah, and there were a lot of reasons not
to like him.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The spending money, and he pumped a bunch of money
into Medicaid Medicare.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I didn't think that was a good idea.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
But I will say this, I've been told have you
ever heard this before? He he drives around the Metroplex
on his day off or whatever he's doing. He'll show
up at a Hamburger stand and he'll buy hamburgers for everyone,
and then he'll just leave.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
He ain't never bought me nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Okay, you don't live in the Metroplex.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
No I don't, but come down here by me one.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm just saying I don't want to like the guy.
But if I was at a Hamburger stand, that would
that would do it? Well, I wouldn't hate him.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That wouldn't make him a better president then in your memory, Well.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
He's not the president anymore.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Nobody was. I'm just saying he wasn't that good if
he shut up.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
If all of a sudden, Barack Obama shows up at
a Hamburger stand and he buys you some tater tots
and then he leaves, wouldn't you hate him.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
A little less?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'd have to find out that. The only way to
know for sures for him to do it.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Honey mustard.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Well about the ranch dressing, I would do ranch. I
like a dip a tot.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I mean, honestly, that's what Ketchup's made for. But still,
I mean there's other dippings.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I would go.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You go regular ketchup, spicy ketchup. You can just go
the hot salts, you can go uh cool ranch. Then
you got your mustards, you got your regular mustard, and
you can mix the mustard and ketchup together, which is
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And that's just what heines fifty seven.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Is probably they've told us though, but I like it.
You know, there's no hymes handy. Then you got your
all your different kinds of spicy mustards there. You know
you also dip your tops in cheese. Yeah, that's good
cheese tops. Yeah, the notcho chili cheese tops like uh,
you know James Coney Island, what rest good stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Whenever I've got spicy mustard like the German stuff, I
always feel like I'm very aristocratic dipping my tater tots.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
In it, like the one that got in that TV
commercial back in the day in gray poop the poop
on right, any gray poop on part of me, sir?
Do you? Yeah? I always feel like I'm like, do
I have to put my pinky up when the fancy?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yah, I got the poop on.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Maybe I should go get a toothpeck and each too,
if you already done that and I haven't, but it
would be funny, you know, get a.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Great great story. Years ago the whole Walter Johnson was
over partying at at Fezos. You remember Fisos restaurant, and
this one young kid that worked there. He'd never I
guess the first first time to ever work in a
restaurant or didn't get out of the house much. But
he's a young and so we we closed the place down,
(17:19):
you know, and after it closed, everybody stuck around and party.
We closed front door, and about two o'clock in the morning,
a few of us got kind of hungry. We asked
the owners, like, you're get food on it's a restaurant
and a bar. Like, well, let's see what we do.
So he got one of his guys that works there
in the kitchen. He's like, uh, why don't you go
back there and cook up a big old steak, you know,
(17:41):
a great steak. And so a buddy of mine, Sam,
you know same.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I love Sam.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
He's working in the restaurant business, a lot tacos and burgers.
He's a good cook. He told his kid. He's like,
tell you what to do. You go back there, you
cook that steak up, and you cut it up into
a bunch of small, little bite sized pieces, and then
put toothpicks in each one of those pieces, and he
can bring it out and then we got steak for
you know, whoever's left. It's not just for me or you.
(18:07):
It blew that kid's mind. He had never seen or
heard of anything like that. Such a well eye opening moment. Wow,
I guess he thought he was like the living, like
a prince or the king Englander. Look what we got
steak bites with toothpicks for individual eating. It was just
(18:29):
it was too much for him.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Boy, I gotta imagine a young man like that, if
you showed him you could cut a burger in half
and share it with someone.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
You know, he's probably just used to taking a big
old bite out of it and if somebody else want some,
just give it to him. Wow. I just wonder though,
But you know that was God twenty years ago. Maybe
how did that boy's life change at that moment. Maybe
he was twenty then, maybe he's your age now, And
(18:55):
because of that moment toothpicks and steak bites he might
have I've turned into, you know, somebody he would have
never become if that moment hadn't happened in front of
his eyes. Maybe now he owns a restaurant somewhere in
South Louisiana called Jim Bob's Steak Bite, tooth Pick and
Porium or something.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, Thursday, it's Thursday. I want some coffee. I want coffee.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
What do you want for breakfast?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Just coffee, just coffee. I'll just have coffee.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Jeffeine is not a secret, says you. Walton M. Johnson
