Speaker 1 (00:00):
Still sound like an owl or a wounded eagle or
something when you say it, caw caw caw.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
I love the money boys.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I already know what you're going to say to a
tempt to make more people hate Donald Trump. You know,
which is the thing to do. We should all do it.
It's it's just what.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's American, Okay, why do we what are we going
to say?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I've been looking at the Forbes Billionaire list? Have you
checked that out? Forbes put their annual list of all
the billionaires in the world out in order, and yeah,
Trump's Trump's in there.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Sure, Yeah, he has about six billion dollars in his
personal finances and assets.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Here's the headline.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
They don't tell you anything more than you unless you
read nineteen paragraphs down into an article. The headline, Trump
has more than doubled his net worth in the last year.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You know, of course he did that, you know, illegally.
I'm sure he broke all kinds of rules.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hold on, in the last year. He wasn't president. That
just happened a couple months ago. But that doesn't matter.
You're trying to make excuses for the man. It's evil
for him. To make money and didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
He get sued because they said he overvalued how much
money he makes or how much money he has. They
sued him for that and found him guilty of overstating
the value of his company or his own personal worth
or whatever. And then the list comes out and it's like, oh, yeah,
(01:30):
I guess he does have a lot. He's only seven
hundredth seven hundredth on the list of billionaires. And you
got to ask yourself, how many damn billionaires are there
in this world.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I don't know how many thousands.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
They broke the three thousand mark this year for the
first time. It's now three thousand and twenty eight billionaires
on fourth list. You know who's number one, right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And the funny thing about this is Elon Musk is
obviously number one. For the last month or two, all
you keep hearing is how much the Tesla stocks crashing,
how horribly he's doing. Elon Musk has over one hundred
billion dollars more than the guy in second place.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yea, he is now listed at Remember when one hundred
billion was like, oh my god, that's like the most
money you could ever think of. Well, Elon is now
at three hundred and forty two billion, give or take
depending on the stock market that day.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What I thought was surprising is that number two is
Mark Zuckerberg. I would have thought he'd be down on
the list a bit. Do you feel like the popularity
of Facebook and Instagram and what else does he own? Oculus, WhatsApp.
I guess we don't consider that in the global marketplace
WhatsApp is really popular. In the United States, it's not.
Jeff Bezos comes in at number three. I'm surprised by that.
(02:49):
I would have thought he'd have more than Zuckerberg, but
it's close. At two sixteen and two fifteen. Larry Ellison
is he He's the CFO of Oracle, so that's an
interesting one. And then number five on the list is
the guy that owns all of the different luxury brands
like Louveton, Bernard Arnault and Family. It says, so they
(03:11):
count his family's assets. Warren Buffett comes in at number
six at one hundred and fifty four billion. Larry Page
at number seven. The CEO of Google Alphabet they call
it Sergey Brinn comes in at number eight. Also another
person at Google, Sergay. I know it is funny Amantia
Ortega is the wealthiest clothing guy in the world. I
(03:32):
don't know what his brands are, but he's from Spain.
And then at number ten a guy named Steve Balmer,
currently the CEO of Microsoft.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You hadn't got to a woman yet, you know why. Yeah,
you got to go fifteenth before you get there. And
that's that's wrong, that's evil, that's just terrible.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, And the only reason she's on the list is
because of a man.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah. Alice Walton is the daughter of Sam Walton. And
I'm sure we don't if you're an American, I'm sure
we don't have to tell you who they are.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I came in fifteenth, but first female.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
My favorite guys on the billionaire list has always been
Michael Dell. Michael Dell became a billionaire by making sensible decisions.
He figured out not everybody wants the fanciest computer. Not everybody.
He just he used refurbished computer parts to sell affordable
computers to middle class families. He knew you'd need them.
(04:20):
Not everybody wants a five thousand dollars supercomputer. Some people
are happy with a six hundred dollars desktop for their family.
Michael Dell.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's like he's flying under the radar.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't know if it's intentional a lot, but you
almost never hear about Dell products.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They used to advertise a lot on television.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I don't know if they do anymore because a lot
of people don't watch television like they used to.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Another interesting one on the list is number nineteen. Mexico's
richest person is Carlos Slim. For those of you that
are new to politics, Carlos Slim basically became a billionaire
because of you. He runs Latin America's biggest mobile phone
telecom firm, and as a matter of fact, a lot
of their product is subsidized by American cell phone purchasers.
(05:03):
It was something we called the Obama phone, which the
game away for free, but somebody had to pay for him,
didn't they. That'd be you and me.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Funny thing about the Obama phone.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
We call it the Obama phone only because Democrats wanted
to give Obama credit for it. Right, it should probably
be called the George W. Bush Phone, because that's when
that program went into play. Obama supported it, but it
wasn't his idea, it wasn't his policy.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It was like, I don't think attaching his name to
it these days makes it look good. Obama Care no,
Obama Phone, No, I don't want that. Just took Obama's
name on it. There's a lot of people probably not interested.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Another woman shows up here at number twenty on the list.
Francois Bettencourt Myers is the granddaughter of the founder of
larel So again another girl boss on the list is
really only there because she was born into the right family.
And you know, it's not fair some of the other.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Rich ladies, and I don't know if they're billionaires or not,
but you know the reason they're rich. Devo Yeah, and
does that earn them well, I mean they got the money,
but did they earn their place on whatever list they make?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well? Jeff Bezos's wife is on the list, and then
also on the list Julia Coke of the Coke f
formerly Coke Industries, David Coke, those people brothers. Yeah. Look,
here's the thing. Some people will look at that and
think it's misogyny or this is proved. No, I think
women are just a little more practical. I think they're
a little more pragmatic than men. A woman will go
(06:28):
get a medical degree, become a doctor, make four hundred
k year, five hundred k year, and she'll be satisfied
with that. Start a family, you know, And a guy
could get the same degree and decide, you know what,
I'm gonna work ninety hours a week. I'm gonna work
one hundred hours a week. I'm gonna be the CEO
of a medical equipment company.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But they ignore their wives while they're getting rich, and
then eventually they break up, and then she takes half
of it.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Binga. That's well. Look, if you don't believe me, look
at this list of all the female billy I know
pretty much every one of them got their money from
some guy.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Either daddy died or they got a divorce.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Bingo. Yeah, here's another one, Jacqueline Mars. Guess what company.
She's the Inherent Firm, founded by her grandfather. I bet
that's Candy it is. Wait, are there must be a
woman on here somewhere that started the company herself.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Brought it from nowhere? Yeah, well, there.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Was one girl boss in Silicon.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Fou well O'donald Trump didn't start his on his own, etho.
His daddy was on the list way before you hurt
of Trump.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, yes, and no, mister l because his dad wasn't
a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But his daddy was on the list back in the day.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
His dad was on the millionaire list. What ell.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But that was a lot of money back in the
in the you know, like seventies and eighties.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
One hundred percent. I don't disagree with that point. But
Trump took his father's millions of dollars and he turned
them into billions of dollars. And some might think, wow,
he had to be a rich kid to do that. Yes, absolutely,
but he was from a rich family that became a
very wealthy family because of business decisions he made. Does
that make him like the smartest busines this man who
ever lived, No, not at all. That would be silly
and ridiculous to suggest. But it doesn't make him a
(08:05):
bad businessman either, as so many Rosi o'donalds of the
world have suggested.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Now, y'all did bring up the fact that he got
sued or taken to court or whatever over his his
warth you know, which is which is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But it was ridiculous the end.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Now it's even worse because he was supposed to pay
four hundred and fifty million dollars in penalties because he
was guilty of inflating his net worth.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And then what happened.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Forbes came out and said, go out and said, well,
he doubled his net worth. Now he's seven hundred. I
don't know how much. How much he got. Some people
may have forgotten it, but from two point three to
five point one billion, according to Forbes, that's just last year.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
He went from two point three to five. Now it
wasn't in real estate, you know what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Truth.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, his social media platform.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And now it's not that, you know, big a money maker,
but it was when you take it public and you
own how many two Well he's got a two point
six billion dollar stake in Truth.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
That's the increase right there.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And say what you will.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Juto too.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
He also came out with some crypto, which I don't
think was as valuable.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But it's still worth millions.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I mean, look how good that did. I mean, as
somebody that made a little money off of crypto, I
could tell you it was.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That vera from the crypto.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
After Trump won the presidential election, generated another two hundred
and forty five million dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I wonder if that'll come back to haunt him because
the Democrats were adamantly anti crypto, the Republicans were pro crypto.
And it did two interesting things. One, it increased by
him winning the election and increased the wealth of everybody
with crypto. But it was sort of a you scratch
my back, I scratch your back moment, because it's the
reason he got all these young supporters. Young zoomers and
(09:48):
millennials have crypto. They understand that the boomers of real estate, right,
But what does zoomers and millennials have crypto? They were
the first generation to understand you could invest in this
and make money off of it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You're all supposed to hate Trump anyway, but now you
can double your hatred because he he made more money
last year than he had before. Now we celebrate most
of the guys that are on that list, except for
Trump and Elon Sure because verabilia. Why does Forbes come
out with the list? Why do you think Forbes lects
to come out every year and tell us who's the
richest people in America? Who's the richest people in your
(10:22):
state and in the world, because they know that we
admire people that make all them that money. Unless the
media tells you that we shouldn't. Yeah, they hate them,
hate them for their money, and make them pay their
fair share, but applaud them for their success.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yay, you made the list.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You know, it's an interesting thing because you are supposed
to hate these people, and yet at the same time
they're the ones that changed the world, and they're pointing
the humanity itself in the direction we're going to head
in based on the innovations these companies have come up with.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Very true.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, and there was a time when you could only
be rich and powerful because you part of a monarchy,
and today that's not really the case anymore. The kings
and queens of the world aren't necessarily the richest people
on earth.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah. I didn't see the King of England at the
top of that list.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Or the king of any country down there. Yeah, I don't.
That probably is somebody, probably the Saudi's around there somewhere.
The you know, Mohammed ben Salami, is that his name.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I did notice one thing interesting about this Forbes list.
You got how many over three thousand billionaires on that list,
and they total up the total value of all the
money of all three thousand and twenty eight billionaires around
the globe, and.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It doesn't even come close.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
To matching the debt that America has right now thirty
six trillion dollars. I think all the billionaires on the
planet combined comes up to like thirteen fifteen trillion, somewhere
in that range.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Are you trying to make me cry? Ain't it?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Said? Oh God?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Whoa? You had it in you? Amia Huckelbert? Why Johnny Lingo?
He looked like someone had just walked over your grave.
Stay tuned for more. Waltman, Johnson, Billyott.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Have you ever seen Heat? With Val Kilmer?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Is that a movie? Heat?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's all I haven't watched it in years. Let must
go back to the probably the eighties. Huh bro, it's unbelievable.
It's such a cool I gotta watch Night in the nineties.
But close enough. Yeah, there's a scene in the movie
where he puts on a hockey mask and he gets
like an AR fifteen and a handgun. It's a cool movie.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It's got glorifying gun violence.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Are you no, No, I'm glorifying? Uh yeah, I guess I.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Started kind of Who else was in Heat?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Okay, so there was another big star in there, Al Pacino,
Robert de Niro.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, those two were the big drawback then, but this
is back before they were bats super crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, Al Pacino, Danny Trejo, Robert de Niro, Val Kilmer,
Ashley Judd. Again, this is before all of those actors
that lost their mind. I want it's a good movie.
I probably saw it. It's been a while though I
ain't seen it in years. Tom Sizemore, John Voight. I mean,
come on, you know what's really good movie? What a lineup?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Tombstone?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah? You ever look at that? I have like I've
got that Val Kilmer guy in it too. Yeah, we
just played a Tombstone miner when we went to break
you were there, Billy, I'm your huckleberry. That's a hook berry.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, thats a good scene when he meets Johnny Ringo
the Plera in the bar there, but it's also a
great scene. Probably the best scene I think in the
movie is when Kurt Russell slaps Billy Bob Thornton upside
the face, Bro and then tells him, you know what,
He tells him, go.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Skin it, skin that smoke wagon.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He didn't know, and then he threw him right out
the swinging doors.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I feel like this Weekend if you got a little downtime,
Probably not a bad idea to watch a couple of
Val Kilmer movies.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Not a bad idea at all.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
True romance Heat. If you've never seen Heat, probably should
watch it. Yeah, you won't be disappointed if you've never
seen Tombstone.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh good lord.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Look, I'm not a Western. I'm not obsessed with Western
like billyet is. But I'll tell you that's one of
the greatest movies ever made. There you go, it's right
up there. It's right up there with I mean, so
many good movies, dumb and dumber, the Mask. I mean,
you know, it's just brilliant movies. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Billy, Okay, I'm being facetious. You'd like to miss with people,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah? I do.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Have you guys listened to the clip of a police
chief and I guess it was Minneapolis. I don't know Minnesota,
they say the Minnesota police chief yesterday talking about the
victim in the Tesla attack. The victim, of course, is
the person that attacked the Tesla. Minnesota police chief has
(14:55):
lost his mind because he said, then we need to
underst that the reason this is happening is because this
person was a victim of rhetoric. And if you're a
victim of rhetoric, if somebody's ever said anything mean about you,
then you have the right to go ahead and commit
(15:15):
crimes until you feel better.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Okay, so somebody got caught trashing teslas and this is
how the local law enforcement leader reacted. I've not seen
this yet.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
The suspect in this case may have been a victim,
and I mean victim in terms of the rhetoric that
is being spewed out here.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's not that I didn't believe you, but my god,
it's more impactful.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
When you see it from a man wearing a uniform
like that, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
The suspect in the vandalizing of a car is really
the victim here, not the guy that owns the car.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
In recent news, a woman accused of lizing a Tesla
in Bloomington, Minnesota, will avoid criminal charges.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh boy, what yeah, just what? That's the world we
share with the liberal mind. Please say the owner decided
not to pursue charges. Okay, well, that explained that the woman,
but she wanted to be compensated at least, you know,
you know what, I don't think you have to put
them in.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Jail, but at least thirty make them pay for the damages.
Thirty two hundred dollars in damages. Did they pay? I
mean it says that's what they say. It sounds like
that to me. What's being discussed is they won't press
charges if they pay. I don't know if the check's
been cleared or not. Oh, I doubt it. Minnesota is
such a strange place, ain't it when you're in the Midwest,
(16:39):
unless you're in a big city Chicago and obvious example,
Saint Louis. Saint Louis and Chicago are a lot like
New Orleans. It's a bunch of corrupt Democrats. But as
soon as you get outside the city, people in the
heartland of Illinois are very are very much like people
in the South. They don't have as good a food.
They eat meat loaf and mashed potatoes with no salt
or pepper. What I know, I know, Billy, I know.
(17:02):
But they vote the way you do. They shoot guns,
they drive a truck. It's really not the Midwest and
the South. I've lived in both places, I assure you.
Not real different weather, food accents all right, fine, but
culture lifestyle, voting patterns real similar. There's one exception. When
you're in Minnesota. This didn't happen. This didn't happen in Minneapolis.
(17:23):
It didn't happened in a place called blooming Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
They just said Minnesota police chief. Now you know, Minnesota
is a state. They don't have eight police chiefs.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
When you get outside of the city in Minnesota, it's
still pretty weird with what well even there there's one exception,
my man Mike Lindell. But for the most part, Minnesota
is an odd place because it's where all the farmers
and people in the heartland still seem to like Bernie Sanders.
I don't know why you like a guy that's never
had a job before, and you work on a farm.
(17:53):
How do you do? What is it about that guy
that appeals to you exactly? I don't know. When people
get stuck on the plantation, sometimes it's hard to get
them off, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
We're already know I was talking.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I was talking about white liberal Democrats, and I guess
that was the wrong Annwn. I didn't know you were here.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I believe that's the wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
An. I didn't see you walk in I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Calm and this when a fella king I put in
a hard day's work, put in eleven twelve hours a day,
and they an't getting your truck in the least rang
one or two beers. They're making it laws where you
can't drink when you want to, can't you have to
wear a seat belt when you're driving.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And CHRISI, We'm gonna be coming this country. This is
the Walton and Johnson Show.
Still sound like an owl or a wounded eagle or
something when you say it, caw caw caw.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
I love the money boys.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I already know what you're going to say to a
tempt to make more people hate Donald Trump. You know,
which is the thing to do. We should all do it.
It's it's just what.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's American, Okay, why do we what are we going
to say?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I've been looking at the Forbes Billionaire list? Have you
checked that out? Forbes put their annual list of all
the billionaires in the world out in order, and yeah,
Trump's Trump's in there.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Sure, Yeah, he has about six billion dollars in his
personal finances and assets.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Here's the headline.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
They don't tell you anything more than you unless you
read nineteen paragraphs down into an article. The headline, Trump
has more than doubled his net worth in the last year.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You know, of course he did that, you know, illegally.
I'm sure he broke all kinds of rules.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hold on, in the last year. He wasn't president. That
just happened a couple months ago. But that doesn't matter.
You're trying to make excuses for the man. It's evil
for him. To make money and didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
He get sued because they said he overvalued how much
money he makes or how much money he has. They
sued him for that and found him guilty of overstating
the value of his company or his own personal worth
or whatever. And then the list comes out and it's like, oh, yeah,
(01:30):
I guess he does have a lot. He's only seven
hundredth seven hundredth on the list of billionaires. And you
got to ask yourself, how many damn billionaires are there
in this world.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I don't know how many thousands.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
They broke the three thousand mark this year for the
first time. It's now three thousand and twenty eight billionaires
on fourth list. You know who's number one, right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And the funny thing about this is Elon Musk is
obviously number one. For the last month or two, all
you keep hearing is how much the Tesla stocks crashing,
how horribly he's doing. Elon Musk has over one hundred
billion dollars more than the guy in second place.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yea, he is now listed at Remember when one hundred
billion was like, oh my god, that's like the most
money you could ever think of. Well, Elon is now
at three hundred and forty two billion, give or take
depending on the stock market that day.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What I thought was surprising is that number two is
Mark Zuckerberg. I would have thought he'd be down on
the list a bit. Do you feel like the popularity
of Facebook and Instagram and what else does he own? Oculus, WhatsApp.
I guess we don't consider that in the global marketplace
WhatsApp is really popular. In the United States, it's not.
Jeff Bezos comes in at number three. I'm surprised by that.
(02:49):
I would have thought he'd have more than Zuckerberg, but
it's close. At two sixteen and two fifteen. Larry Ellison
is he He's the CFO of Oracle, so that's an
interesting one. And then number five on the list is
the guy that owns all of the different luxury brands
like Louveton, Bernard Arnault and Family. It says, so they
(03:11):
count his family's assets. Warren Buffett comes in at number
six at one hundred and fifty four billion. Larry Page
at number seven. The CEO of Google Alphabet they call
it Sergey Brinn comes in at number eight. Also another
person at Google, Sergay. I know it is funny Amantia
Ortega is the wealthiest clothing guy in the world. I
(03:32):
don't know what his brands are, but he's from Spain.
And then at number ten a guy named Steve Balmer,
currently the CEO of Microsoft.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You hadn't got to a woman yet, you know why. Yeah,
you got to go fifteenth before you get there. And
that's that's wrong, that's evil, that's just terrible.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, And the only reason she's on the list is
because of a man.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah. Alice Walton is the daughter of Sam Walton. And
I'm sure we don't if you're an American, I'm sure
we don't have to tell you who they are.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I came in fifteenth, but first female.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
My favorite guys on the billionaire list has always been
Michael Dell. Michael Dell became a billionaire by making sensible decisions.
He figured out not everybody wants the fanciest computer. Not everybody.
He just he used refurbished computer parts to sell affordable
computers to middle class families. He knew you'd need them.
(04:20):
Not everybody wants a five thousand dollars supercomputer. Some people
are happy with a six hundred dollars desktop for their family.
Michael Dell.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's like he's flying under the radar.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't know if it's intentional a lot, but you
almost never hear about Dell products.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They used to advertise a lot on television.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I don't know if they do anymore because a lot
of people don't watch television like they used to.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Another interesting one on the list is number nineteen. Mexico's
richest person is Carlos Slim. For those of you that
are new to politics, Carlos Slim basically became a billionaire
because of you. He runs Latin America's biggest mobile phone
telecom firm, and as a matter of fact, a lot
of their product is subsidized by American cell phone purchasers.
(05:03):
It was something we called the Obama phone, which the
game away for free, but somebody had to pay for him,
didn't they. That'd be you and me.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Funny thing about the Obama phone.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
We call it the Obama phone only because Democrats wanted
to give Obama credit for it. Right, it should probably
be called the George W. Bush Phone, because that's when
that program went into play. Obama supported it, but it
wasn't his idea, it wasn't his policy.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It was like, I don't think attaching his name to
it these days makes it look good. Obama Care no,
Obama Phone, No, I don't want that. Just took Obama's
name on it. There's a lot of people probably not interested.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Another woman shows up here at number twenty on the list.
Francois Bettencourt Myers is the granddaughter of the founder of
larel So again another girl boss on the list is
really only there because she was born into the right family.
And you know, it's not fair some of the other.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Rich ladies, and I don't know if they're billionaires or not,
but you know the reason they're rich. Devo Yeah, and
does that earn them well, I mean they got the money,
but did they earn their place on whatever list they make?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well? Jeff Bezos's wife is on the list, and then
also on the list Julia Coke of the Coke f
formerly Coke Industries, David Coke, those people brothers. Yeah. Look,
here's the thing. Some people will look at that and
think it's misogyny or this is proved. No, I think
women are just a little more practical. I think they're
a little more pragmatic than men. A woman will go
(06:28):
get a medical degree, become a doctor, make four hundred
k year, five hundred k year, and she'll be satisfied
with that. Start a family, you know, And a guy
could get the same degree and decide, you know what,
I'm gonna work ninety hours a week. I'm gonna work
one hundred hours a week. I'm gonna be the CEO
of a medical equipment company.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But they ignore their wives while they're getting rich, and
then eventually they break up, and then she takes half
of it.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Binga. That's well. Look, if you don't believe me, look
at this list of all the female billy I know
pretty much every one of them got their money from
some guy.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Either daddy died or they got a divorce.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Bingo. Yeah, here's another one, Jacqueline Mars. Guess what company.
She's the Inherent Firm, founded by her grandfather. I bet
that's Candy it is. Wait, are there must be a
woman on here somewhere that started the company herself.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Brought it from nowhere? Yeah, well, there.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Was one girl boss in Silicon.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Fou well O'donald Trump didn't start his on his own, etho.
His daddy was on the list way before you hurt
of Trump.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, yes, and no, mister l because his dad wasn't
a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But his daddy was on the list back in the day.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
His dad was on the millionaire list. What ell.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But that was a lot of money back in the
in the you know, like seventies and eighties.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
One hundred percent. I don't disagree with that point. But
Trump took his father's millions of dollars and he turned
them into billions of dollars. And some might think, wow,
he had to be a rich kid to do that. Yes, absolutely,
but he was from a rich family that became a
very wealthy family because of business decisions he made. Does
that make him like the smartest busines this man who
ever lived, No, not at all. That would be silly
and ridiculous to suggest. But it doesn't make him a
(08:05):
bad businessman either, as so many Rosi o'donalds of the
world have suggested.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Now, y'all did bring up the fact that he got
sued or taken to court or whatever over his his
warth you know, which is which is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But it was ridiculous the end.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Now it's even worse because he was supposed to pay
four hundred and fifty million dollars in penalties because he
was guilty of inflating his net worth.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And then what happened.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Forbes came out and said, go out and said, well,
he doubled his net worth. Now he's seven hundred. I
don't know how much. How much he got. Some people
may have forgotten it, but from two point three to
five point one billion, according to Forbes, that's just last year.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
He went from two point three to five. Now it
wasn't in real estate, you know what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Truth.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, his social media platform.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And now it's not that, you know, big a money maker,
but it was when you take it public and you
own how many two Well he's got a two point
six billion dollar stake in Truth.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
That's the increase right there.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And say what you will.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Juto too.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
He also came out with some crypto, which I don't
think was as valuable.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But it's still worth millions.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I mean, look how good that did. I mean, as
somebody that made a little money off of crypto, I
could tell you it was.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That vera from the crypto.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
After Trump won the presidential election, generated another two hundred
and forty five million dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I wonder if that'll come back to haunt him because
the Democrats were adamantly anti crypto, the Republicans were pro crypto.
And it did two interesting things. One, it increased by
him winning the election and increased the wealth of everybody
with crypto. But it was sort of a you scratch
my back, I scratch your back moment, because it's the
reason he got all these young supporters. Young zoomers and
(09:48):
millennials have crypto. They understand that the boomers of real estate, right,
But what does zoomers and millennials have crypto? They were
the first generation to understand you could invest in this
and make money off of it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You're all supposed to hate Trump anyway, but now you
can double your hatred because he he made more money
last year than he had before. Now we celebrate most
of the guys that are on that list, except for
Trump and Elon Sure because verabilia. Why does Forbes come
out with the list? Why do you think Forbes lects
to come out every year and tell us who's the
richest people in America? Who's the richest people in your
(10:22):
state and in the world, because they know that we
admire people that make all them that money. Unless the
media tells you that we shouldn't. Yeah, they hate them,
hate them for their money, and make them pay their
fair share, but applaud them for their success.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yay, you made the list.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You know, it's an interesting thing because you are supposed
to hate these people, and yet at the same time
they're the ones that changed the world, and they're pointing
the humanity itself in the direction we're going to head
in based on the innovations these companies have come up with.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Very true.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, and there was a time when you could only
be rich and powerful because you part of a monarchy,
and today that's not really the case anymore. The kings
and queens of the world aren't necessarily the richest people
on earth.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah. I didn't see the King of England at the
top of that list.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Or the king of any country down there. Yeah, I don't.
That probably is somebody, probably the Saudi's around there somewhere.
The you know, Mohammed ben Salami, is that his name.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I did notice one thing interesting about this Forbes list.
You got how many over three thousand billionaires on that list,
and they total up the total value of all the
money of all three thousand and twenty eight billionaires around
the globe, and.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It doesn't even come close.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
To matching the debt that America has right now thirty
six trillion dollars. I think all the billionaires on the
planet combined comes up to like thirteen fifteen trillion, somewhere
in that range.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Are you trying to make me cry? Ain't it?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Said? Oh God?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Whoa? You had it in you? Amia Huckelbert? Why Johnny Lingo?
He looked like someone had just walked over your grave.
Stay tuned for more. Waltman, Johnson, Billyott.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Have you ever seen Heat? With Val Kilmer?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Is that a movie? Heat?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's all I haven't watched it in years. Let must
go back to the probably the eighties. Huh bro, it's unbelievable.
It's such a cool I gotta watch Night in the nineties.
But close enough. Yeah, there's a scene in the movie
where he puts on a hockey mask and he gets
like an AR fifteen and a handgun. It's a cool movie.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It's got glorifying gun violence.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Are you no, No, I'm glorifying? Uh yeah, I guess I.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Started kind of Who else was in Heat?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Okay, so there was another big star in there, Al Pacino,
Robert de Niro.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, those two were the big drawback then, but this
is back before they were bats super crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, Al Pacino, Danny Trejo, Robert de Niro, Val Kilmer,
Ashley Judd. Again, this is before all of those actors
that lost their mind. I want it's a good movie.
I probably saw it. It's been a while though I
ain't seen it in years. Tom Sizemore, John Voight. I mean,
come on, you know what's really good movie? What a lineup?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Tombstone?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah? You ever look at that? I have like I've
got that Val Kilmer guy in it too. Yeah, we
just played a Tombstone miner when we went to break
you were there, Billy, I'm your huckleberry. That's a hook berry.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, thats a good scene when he meets Johnny Ringo
the Plera in the bar there, but it's also a
great scene. Probably the best scene I think in the
movie is when Kurt Russell slaps Billy Bob Thornton upside
the face, Bro and then tells him, you know what,
He tells him, go.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Skin it, skin that smoke wagon.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He didn't know, and then he threw him right out
the swinging doors.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I feel like this Weekend if you got a little downtime,
Probably not a bad idea to watch a couple of
Val Kilmer movies.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Not a bad idea at all.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
True romance Heat. If you've never seen Heat, probably should
watch it. Yeah, you won't be disappointed if you've never
seen Tombstone.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh good lord.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Look, I'm not a Western. I'm not obsessed with Western
like billyet is. But I'll tell you that's one of
the greatest movies ever made. There you go, it's right
up there. It's right up there with I mean, so
many good movies, dumb and dumber, the Mask. I mean,
you know, it's just brilliant movies. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Billy, Okay, I'm being facetious. You'd like to miss with people,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah? I do.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Have you guys listened to the clip of a police
chief and I guess it was Minneapolis. I don't know Minnesota,
they say the Minnesota police chief yesterday talking about the
victim in the Tesla attack. The victim, of course, is
the person that attacked the Tesla. Minnesota police chief has
(14:55):
lost his mind because he said, then we need to
underst that the reason this is happening is because this
person was a victim of rhetoric. And if you're a
victim of rhetoric, if somebody's ever said anything mean about you,
then you have the right to go ahead and commit
(15:15):
crimes until you feel better.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Okay, so somebody got caught trashing teslas and this is
how the local law enforcement leader reacted. I've not seen
this yet.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
The suspect in this case may have been a victim,
and I mean victim in terms of the rhetoric that
is being spewed out here.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's not that I didn't believe you, but my god,
it's more impactful.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
When you see it from a man wearing a uniform
like that, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
The suspect in the vandalizing of a car is really
the victim here, not the guy that owns the car.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
In recent news, a woman accused of lizing a Tesla
in Bloomington, Minnesota, will avoid criminal charges.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh boy, what yeah, just what? That's the world we
share with the liberal mind. Please say the owner decided
not to pursue charges. Okay, well, that explained that the woman,
but she wanted to be compensated at least, you know,
you know what, I don't think you have to put
them in.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Jail, but at least thirty make them pay for the damages.
Thirty two hundred dollars in damages. Did they pay? I
mean it says that's what they say. It sounds like
that to me. What's being discussed is they won't press
charges if they pay. I don't know if the check's
been cleared or not. Oh, I doubt it. Minnesota is
such a strange place, ain't it when you're in the Midwest,
(16:39):
unless you're in a big city Chicago and obvious example,
Saint Louis. Saint Louis and Chicago are a lot like
New Orleans. It's a bunch of corrupt Democrats. But as
soon as you get outside the city, people in the
heartland of Illinois are very are very much like people
in the South. They don't have as good a food.
They eat meat loaf and mashed potatoes with no salt
or pepper. What I know, I know, Billy, I know.
(17:02):
But they vote the way you do. They shoot guns,
they drive a truck. It's really not the Midwest and
the South. I've lived in both places, I assure you.
Not real different weather, food accents all right, fine, but
culture lifestyle, voting patterns real similar. There's one exception. When
you're in Minnesota. This didn't happen. This didn't happen in Minneapolis.
(17:23):
It didn't happened in a place called blooming Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
They just said Minnesota police chief. Now you know, Minnesota
is a state. They don't have eight police chiefs.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
When you get outside of the city in Minnesota, it's
still pretty weird with what well even there there's one exception,
my man Mike Lindell. But for the most part, Minnesota
is an odd place because it's where all the farmers
and people in the heartland still seem to like Bernie Sanders.
I don't know why you like a guy that's never
had a job before, and you work on a farm.
(17:53):
How do you do? What is it about that guy
that appeals to you exactly? I don't know. When people
get stuck on the plantation, sometimes it's hard to get
them off, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
We're already know I was talking.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I was talking about white liberal Democrats, and I guess
that was the wrong Annwn. I didn't know you were here.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I believe that's the wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
An. I didn't see you walk in I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Calm and this when a fella king I put in
a hard day's work, put in eleven twelve hours a day,
and they an't getting your truck in the least rang
one or two beers. They're making it laws where you
can't drink when you want to, can't you have to
wear a seat belt when you're driving.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And CHRISI, We'm gonna be coming this country. This is
the Walton and Johnson Show.
