Speaker 1 (00:01):
I heard over the weekend that Trump attended a wrestling event,
and I thought to myself, great an opportunity for a
an analogy, if you will, a metaphor about pro wrestling
and politics. And then I come to discover it was
an NC double, a wrestling event.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
So it doesn't really make any sense.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh okay, yeah, not the wild and crazy world of
professional wrestling, wouldn't you have thought?

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Sure, they said he went to the Wrestling Championships. Oh
so he was what like WrestleMania or.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
The Royal Rumble.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
No no, no, literally, oh yeah, real wrestling, real wrestling.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
And then the analogy doesn't make as much sense. But
were that the case, we could opine about how backstage
at a Royal Rumble WrestleMania style event, to competitors pretending
to hate one another in front of the crowns hanging
out in the back with a tray full of cold
cuts and cheese squares, And I think.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
The wrestlers get the little crust cut off their triangular
sandwiches or do they just you know, power through it.
I wonder about that one crusted I didn't want to
eat crust.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I mean, I got to assume they probably eat carbs.
But then maybe they're all on a keto diet. Maybe
have no idea. Anyway, that was not the case, but
he was with Jim Jordan, who is actually.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Used to wrestle. I understand.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Apparently pretty good. You can always tell because of that year.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, the cauliflower ear, and why do they It doesn't
look like cauliflower to me. It needs a name. I
don't know if that's the right name.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, it is kind of all uh you know, sure, yeah,
I'm nasty looking, Yeah, but it's a I mean, I
like cauliflower, but I don't want to eat that ear.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I get what you're saying. But is that the Is
that the right vegetable to compare it to? That's what
I'm concerned right Anyway, The crowd went wild as Trump
walked out at the NCAA Wrestling Championship.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Are they allowed to do that to support their president?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I guess so it is what it is for me.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I don't know if it focus on those things, because
that stuff comes here today and if Jana mars so
for me, I just want to put a focus on
just to give battlest kind of rare. So Trump walks
out while the guys in the middle of the interview,
and he did not have an entourage as he walked out.
He just walked out by himself, which isn't quite what
you usually see from Trump at these events. Usually he
walks out with thirty people. Yeah, and one of them's

(02:13):
Kid Rock and Dana White, but not the case this time.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Anyway. That was just one thing that happened over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
And the winner, which was I guess I'm sort of
a big upset is that the winner was Wyatt Hendrickson
is the second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Cool.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
He got to meet Trump and he saluted him while
he wrapped himself in the American flag, which they do
after winning the NCAA Wrestling National Championship. I guess so
he was very excited.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, I was too. I wore my single at all
weekend to celebrate.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Now that's good. I wish you would have maybe taken
it off for the show. But you go ahead.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I look goodn't you do?

Speaker 4 (02:53):
You look good?

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I got guns, you know. I told Steve this is
going to be my summer for muscle shirts. I'm working
on my biceps.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I think you should take it to the next level
and go andre the giant. Yeah style, just a singlet,
only only one.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Asymmetrical yeah yeah, it's two shoulder straps, just the one
that gets you a chance to show off a little
more kinney asymmetrical single. It is a choice because it's
kind of like you want people to know, you know,
I'm wearing the regulation wrestling singlet, but also I'm a
wild man from the jungle.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I'm my oh man.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Nobody tells me how to dress. I just have this
one thing over my shoulder. Why I recommended too, I said.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Forget it, no way.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
I just want this one tiny piece of fabric to
be the only thing preventing this entire room from seeing
my Okay, so that's the real The real fight right
now is suddenly between people in the Democrat Party. Who
is now the leader of the Democrats. We've talked about
this on and off for the past week, but really

(04:00):
came to a boiling point this weekend. Is it Tim
Wall's spoiler alert? It's not Tim Wallas.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Is it Bernie Sanders? Maybe Chuck Schumer? Probably not unless
you're talking about the donor class.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I think great, Yeah, really the Party of the young,
you know, the life changing people out there who are
gonna do what's right for this next generation. They're being
led by Bernie Sanders. Yeah, nearly ninety.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, Bernie Sanders is the fresh young face of the
progressive Democrat movement. And it's pretty obvious that he is
running for president. The problem is that by the time
he gets into let's say, hypothetically, he wins. You know
what I mean right now, he's older than Joe right now,
so this would be in a few years. So we're
talking about a guy in his late eighties. Yeah, and

(04:49):
for the record, you know, I don't think that man
mental acuity in age. There's not necessarily a cause and
effect there, but probably at least a correlation. And Chuck
Rasley seems to be one of the sharpest guys in
the Senate.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
He's in his nineties.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Let's hear it.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Where's AOC's name. Oh and give us a little young
blood in there.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Okay, So do not ask Bernie Sanders about AOC. He
gets really mad. I thought they were traveling together. Weren't
they on the road.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, So he's at this event.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
They're doing a big speaking event together, the Carl Marx
Tours America event I don't know what it's called. And
Bernie's about to go speak to a big crowd of
thirty five thousand people. Now that's pretty big by Bernie
Sanders standard.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's not the.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Biggest crowd Trump's ever spoken in front of, or even
George Straight for that matter, But.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
It's true. Right.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So Bernie is about to go to and he's doing
an interview with.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
ABC News backstage in the green room, and the journalist,
who is this, Jonathan Carl I think is his name,
asks Bernie, what about AOC primary ing Chuck Schumer in
the state of New York? Could she be the new Senator?
That's not quite how he asked the question. Bernie gets
mad and stams and walks out, almost like I'm not

(06:02):
I refuse to sit and do this interview about AOC
versus Chuck Schumer. And then he comes back to the
chair and sits down again.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
After it was just a little, you know, demonstration of
I could walk out.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
I almost did watch him.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now this is the pro wrestling theatrics we expect from
professional politicians.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Back when when I first came to the Congress of
the House, I helped form the Progressive Court because we
had five people at it at that time. Now they
got close to one hundred, so you got a whole
lot of good people. Alexandra is extraordinary. I am so
impressed by her work in Congress and her just she
inspires young people all over the country.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Would you like to see her joining the Senate?

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Right now?

Speaker 5 (06:40):
We have, as I said, just a whole lot of
people in the Congress. Okay, gunn and thanks.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Way, I got one that's important.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Well, I asked you, Okay, you know you want to
do nonsense to nonsense. No, I don't want to talk
about inside the Beltway stuff. I got thirty two thousand people.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
I was just asking about AOC because she was fine.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
But I don't want to talk about this. What was
the last question? I was just asking more question about you.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I mean that's all. This was like literal leader lest
Why what is your question?

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Well, I mean it's easy.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
He's standing up. Now, he's gonna sit back down. Fine,
Bernie will sit back down.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Bring. I mean I want to ask you about your future.
This is the biggest crowd, you said, usually ran for
president twice. This is the biggest crowd you've ever seen.
Are we going to see you ron again?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
What's your what's your fauge?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Right now?

Speaker 5 (07:20):
I am very proud that the people of the state
of Vermont sent me back to the Senate with sixty
three percent of the world. Right now, Vermont's Senator. That's
what I do, and I'm very happy to do it.
I am eighty three years of age. So let's pause
that right there.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Uh, it's interesting that he reminds you of his age there,
because one group of people that won't is Google.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
They'd rather you just not know.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Steve and I found something very interesting during while we
were prepping for the show today. Usually, if you type
any politician's name followed by the word age, it tells
you their age right there, big letters do aoc hang
on aoc age.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
There it is look, thirty five years of age. That
very clear as day, right.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Is old enough now and it's not even time to
run for president yet.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
The only politician we've noticed today on the day of
this radio broadcast where you go to type his name
and then his agent and it doesn't immediately I mean
it's there, but it's buried in the screen.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's not in big bold letters.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, it's not where all the other politicians age is listed.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's Bernie Sanders, right, It's like, wow, that's that's weird.
Why would Google do that? Because the Google programmers know
Bernie Sanders is now running for president.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
They know that by hearing him say I am fine,
I am happy with being a senator.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
From where's he Vermont? Vermont. He's basically saying, so, yeah,
I'll be running for presidents.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
AOC is running for senator. Bernie Sanders is running for president. Now,
I don't know about AOC, but I'll tell you why
Bernie will never be president. And this is the left
zone fault if you speaking of Google, if you go
to Google and you type Bernie Sanders guns, what you discover,
and this is a pretty big issue among the liberals,
is that liberals have absolutely destroyed Bernie Sanders on this topic.

(09:03):
Back in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty sixteen, the last
couple times he ran for president. The Internet is filled
with articles written by people in the far left in
the media explaining to you how Bernie Sanders wants to
kill your children because he used to be lenient on
gun loss. Oh boy, this is one of the reasons
why he's actually an independent. Years ago, Bernie Sanders was

(09:26):
kind of okay with guns. People in Vermont like to
hunt if he runs for president again. Elizabeth Warren And
who's that new chick in Michigan, the butch lesbian chick
who's apparently not really a butch lesbian.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
And you know this is not no.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
All the other members of the far left are going
to come out and go Bernie Sanders caused school shootings.
Oh boy, I know it's all over the internet. We
didn't put it there. And it's his own fault for
trying to be vaguely moderate on one single issue.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh got I hate my job.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
I hate it.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
I'm sorry, somebody's got to do it. Let's just get
it over with Walton and Johnson Radio Network. They don't
just get the allergies. I hope I don't have that.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
What the boogie woogie flu?

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah, I don't want that.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
You don't want the boogie woogi flu, mostly because not
really sure if you have to get vaccinated for that
or what you.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Know, they're microchipping us.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
It's my thing now, I like to just say that
out loud in public and see how people react.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
It's wondering if fact that it has a follow up
or you just need somebody to go, oh my god, no,
freak out.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
No, it's a great litmus test. Try it.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
If you're on an elevator, you get three responses. The
first response is people become very alarmed and uneasy around you.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Just look at you. You're like, oh god, when's he
getting off this thing?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Right?

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Well, there's that. The first one is they don't like it.
They're like, you know, they're microchipping the vaccines. Just say
it out loud. The second, the second response is people
immediately and passionately agree with you. They're like, oh man,
I know they did it to my aunt Linda, and
now we don't know where she is anyway, she's in
Bay Rout now. And then the third response you get
is people that laugh. They think it's funny. They're like,

(11:04):
oh yeah, microchip, oh yeah. And that's honestly, that's probably
our people, because even if they do believe we're getting
microchips's like, well, what are you gonna do about it?

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Exactly? Don't get the vaccine?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Might as well laugh about it. You know, there's.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Rarely are there anything but those three uh camaraderie.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Nobody hits the stop button and tries to get off paranoia.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Let me out of this elevator.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Just throw that out there at a dinner party.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
If you get forced to go to a dinner party
with one of your wife or your husband's coworkers, family members, whatever,
sit down and just start the dinner with that. Yeah,
they put some microchips in those vaccines. And then just
just and then say nothing the rest of the dinner.
Just see how just see how that affects the whole meal.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Keep looking around, watching people, maybe take notes. Yeah, well
watch somebody do something. Go okay, I'm gonna write that down.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
The US has its lowest ever ranking on the Happiness Index.
But remember that survey was taken before Rosi o'donald moved
to Ireland. That's true, So I gotta think that's got
to affect things.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
A little bit.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Why are people giving her the time of day?

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, you know she's in Ireland now, So to them,
it's like, you know, it's like when you first got
cable in your rural community. It's like, oh, oh, you
now get ESPN. You know, it's exciting at first. They
want to find out what that's all about. This SoundBite
of Rosi o'donald on a talk show in Ireland is
filled with so much miss I don't even know where

(12:30):
to pause the video so we can react to it,
because just line after line, it's insanity. This was at
one time a fun new young female comedic actor. Didn't
What was that movie she did with dan Aykroyd Exit to.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Eden Rob Well, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
A long time.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Ago dan aykroy and Rosie o'donald start in a comedy
film together where they're undercover law enforcement agents. They go
undercover at an S and M Swingers resort.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Can't believe I let that one get by me.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
What was the first time I ever heard of Rosie
o'donald was a long time ago.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
You heard her say it yourself, just a week ago.
She's the star of the Flintstones. That was her claim
to fame.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
That's right. He didn't love that anyway. Here she is on.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Some time like I'm going to pretend like I know
what the talk shows are called in Ireland, a talk show?

Speaker 4 (13:20):
And you know a lot of people did vote for him. Yes,
do you accept they're right to do that in their
opinion of them?

Speaker 6 (13:29):
Well, I respect their right to do that. I question
why the first time in American history a president has
won every swing state and is also best friends and
his largest donor was a man who owns and runs
the internet. So I would hope that that would be
investigated and that we would see whether or not it
was an anomaly or something else that happened on election

(13:52):
night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums
with people who supported her and Donald Trump was not
able to.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Do that, And yes, good.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
So it's curious to me, and as an American and
a believer in democracy, I would hope that we would
be able to look at all of them.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
He is just well, you know, it's called trope derangement
syndrome for a reason.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Let's stick a for get it right there, Hang on
when second it's starting?

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Thank god, it's Monday again.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Monday, Monday, Monday.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Thank god. I am Walton and Johnson Radio Network,
