Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thing to share with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Lisa just wrote regarding a topic we discussed earlier. You
dudes interrupted lifting to see if a homeless woman was naked. Well,
I mean, you know now we know what'll stop you
from lifting, huh.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I was worried about her safety.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
This woman was just walking around in the parking lot
in a bronze panties out there, and it was my
first concern was I didn't want another crackhead to assault her,
you know.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And you don't think it could have been a swimsuit
and perhaps she was just getting you know, her daily
dose of vitamin D.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Well, that's what my buddy Jack said.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
He said, I think she's just in a bikini, but
that's still a weird thing to wear in a parking
lot of a strip mall.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
On it, we're any of y'all volunteering to give her
her Vitamin D?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You no, because I don't want to get a stop
a sunshine herpies or whatever.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
No, you don't want that. There's no way the crackhead.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Walking around on the street out there doesn't have nine
different kinds of the new epidemic.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's not even a question. The question is I can't
believe you stopped lifting for that. I mean, lifting is
like your religion, I know. And then it just, you know,
kind of went out the window, didn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
There's there's a there's a portion of our audience that
gets annoyed when I talk about lifting.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I don't know why. It's not like I do it
obnoxiously all the time, not at all.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
But yesterday I squatted two seventy five and a year ago.
I don't think I was squatting even close to that.
And I owe it all to Mark Rippititeau and the
good people. It's starting strength gyms.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, did the did the bar bend? When you stood
up from that lift? May rise up? You know, You've
got to pop them knees and thust them hips a
little bit so that way the bar starts bouncing on
both ends because you got.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
So much weight up there. Well, my it curves a
little the left. But my doctor says that's normal. It's
a very common thing.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know. It doesn't nothing to be concerned about.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
That. Peripheral vision, not priapism vision. That's different.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Let me tell you something about smoking too much pot
don't okay, don't smoke too much Potter. You might think
you have a venereal disease when you don't your lord,
this didn't happened to me and happened to a friend.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh yeah, right, the that's what they always say.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The other day, my friend ran six miles in the
park and then he, uh, he's going to bed at night,
and he starts.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Itching down there and you go to bed really early, yeah,
he does. How'd you know?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, just to guess, So he, uh, do you know
how you could do the telehealth thing.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
On your phone?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I've heard of it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Sure, And so he does the telehealth thing.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I have a sweet dear friend who is an actual
medical doctor who will see me at any hour.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, that's how this is too. There's an app.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, but that's in person he's got.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
He has an app on his phone and you could
connect to a doctor immediately. So he connects to the
doctor and the doctor is what's wrong. He goes, I'm
itching down there. I was wondering if I have something.
He's like, well, what did you do today? I ran
six miles in the park. He's like, your friend did Yeah?
That my friend, he says, I'm saying it in first yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So the doctor goes, all right, let me see it
and you know what, well, he's a doctor. If you're
not going to look at the rash or whatever, you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean, your friend put the camera, sure, because what
else do you do down there for the doctor?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So he shows the doctor the eye with his Uh,
I don't know what kind of phone he had, could
be an iPhone or Android.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Let's just say it's an iPhone phone.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Let's just say it's an iPhone sixteen that he got
from his T mobile endorsement and.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Not me. And so he shows it to.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The doctor and the doctor starts laughing, and he's like,
what's so funny? He goes, you just have jockeych that's
not that it's not of an aerial disease.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
If you're just scratching for no particular reason, that doesn't
sound a disease.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Like no, he said, no, he's like, whoa, I let
the crab. You wouldn't know nothing about that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The doctor says, your problem is you're just in too
good a shape. You exercise too much, probably a little
too handsome as well. That's your friend, your friend saying
this is He said he'd never seen a doctor laugh
so much on an iPhone telehealth. Not to be fair,
he didn't do a lot of these in the past,
so of course, but he slept better that night knowing
it was just jockitch.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Anyway, that wasn't in the email at all. Back to
the email, This one says, tell that woman not to
pour out your fresh hot coffee, which is the woman
that works here.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
We love her.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
If they say, if she thinks she's helping, leave her
a sticky note that says, if you want to help
us make a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh no, we're not going to be misogynists.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And she gets upset, all you have to do is
tell her calm down. That always works with women.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Look, I'm a male feminist and so I defend women.
I think that they and women can calm down. I
mean they won't. They refuse to, but they could if
they wanted to. You know, that's a great thing about women.
They could do anything they want. That's right, all right.
So a lot of debate over the California High Speed
Rail and the Texas High Speed Rail couldn't help.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But notice that's that that's gone at Texas high Speed Rail,
that's supposed to be done and over out gone.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, they debated it yesterday in Austin.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Put a put a stick in it, or something that's done.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It should be. And yet the conversation's continued now for
as long? How long has it been going on? For
as long as I've been in Texas?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yea long?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
If I lived in Texas more than half of my
adult life, most of my adult life at this point,
I've lived in Texas, and I can remember moving here
and hearing people talk about, boy, they really want to
build that high speed rail from Dallas to Houston.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Why who's that for?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
There's like nine people that want it, and you know
who doesn't want it, everyone that owns land between Dallas
and Houston. That reminds me of tornado warnings today for
our friends in the Metroplex and also Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So if you're a, oh yeah, they ain't that far apart,
you know they're really not. No, if you're a tornadoes
can scat too. It's true.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Now we don't have that issue down here today, but
we're with you in spirit.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
We hope you're safe up there. Guys, what do we do?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
What do you mean somebody just sent us a handcrafted
political meme about AOC but we're in Texas where political
memes are illegal.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Well, the governor didn't sign the bill yet, it's still
got to go back to the Senate. But it did
pass the House yesterday, which is amazing because in the
Texas House they can't pass anything. Popular bills that everyone
agrees that they want don't pass in the Texas House.
And yet, weirdly yesterday a meme regulation bill and who
(06:11):
voted for it? Every Democrat and most of the Republicans.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Ain't it crazy? Well, the memes have to do with politics.
Some of the politicians definitely want to get on the
side of no more memes of making fun of me.
How about that the.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Worst Republicans Dustin Burroughs, Gary Gates, Dade Failin, Lacey Hall,
all the different Rhinos in Texas cannot stand these people.
They're not Republicans, They're just politicians that call themselves Republicans.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
They still find it a little bit humorous and a
whole very lot hypocritical that Bernie Sanders and AOC are
out flying around on a fifteen thousand dollars per hour
private jet to attend the fighting oligarchy rally, and of
course they're constantly fighting climate change as well by flying
(07:01):
around in a private jet. Now, the memes that your
little construction business doesn't justify you driving that huge luxury
pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Shame on you.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
However, how are we supposed to get from rally to
rally if we in such a short time, if we
don't have a private jet.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Why do you need to get there in such a
short time.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They need to be there to lead us in the
fight against climate change, and you know, the rich overpowering
the poor.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Do people understand why the one hundred first one hundred
days of the presidency is so important. You're as far
away from an election election season right now as you
can get. The last election is a blip on the radar.
The next election nobody's really talking about right now. All
we're basically talking about is the current administration and the
momentum that they've got. And so Donald Trump's had one
(07:54):
hundred days here and the Liberals are already running for
office again.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Usually that doesn't happen, but this time it did.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yesterday, the liberal media was trying to tell you how
horrible it is that Donald Trump doesn't want people driving
trucks if they can't speak English, and so they're interviewing
a terrible thing. Right, So they're interviewing on ABC News,
different immigration lawyers and different you know, advocates for open borders,
and you know who they didn't ask their opinion truck drivers,
anybody in the shipping industry.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh, they didn't want to go bother them.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Wait, you're telling me you guys are trying to make
the point that Donald Trump is wrong about how asking
truck drivers to speak English, and that's not necessary. It
doesn't you're just trying to target immigrants. Well, hang on
a second here. If you think all he's doing is
being racist, wouldn't the logical thing to do in your
news media report would be to interview people in the
industry in which you're claiming this is a non issue,
(08:45):
that Donald Trump just made it up.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yep, that's exactly what they didn't do. We got an
email from a trucker. I guess you know they could
have looked at checked with us, because we got a
lot of truckers listening, including my own boy, Billion Junior.
He's out there at trucking anyway, says good day radio
Gods trucker Chris here. Oh, this isn't about speaking Mixan
(09:07):
or Spanish, I guess Spanish Spanish. Spell just want to
let you know that your show kept my spirit up
through all of my cancer, stem cell and chemo treatments.
Oh and now I'm finished and they say I'm cancer free.
Love the show. Keep up the good work, Trucker, Well,
you keep up the good work, Chris. You're the one
fighting a good fight out there.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Our job is fun and easy, and you know, we're
very grateful to have it. We love doing this by
it's really the people out there that listen to this
show that are the reason we have a job in
the first place.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Now, medical professionals will tell us we are all fighting
cancer every day. Is this Some of us don't know
it yet or know what kind of where it is yet,
but it's in there.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Speak for yourself. I'm preparing for the apocalypse. There's no
way I'm going to live long enough to die of cancer.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, do not listen to the Walton and Johnson Show
if you're allergic to Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
This document Henry about the famous February first, nineteen sixty
eight sanitation strike in Memphis, Tennessee. It took place at
the Claiborne Temple in downtown Memphis, very closely associated with
the American Civil Rights Movement and doctor Martin Luther King.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Doctor King in his final year.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
The temple was headquarters for the sanitation workers' strike that
brought Kingdom Memphis that year. The campaigns I Am a
Man signs were made in the church's basement I Am
a Man, I Am a Man. In twenty eighteen, it
was designated a National Treasure by the National Trust for
Historic Preservation.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Uh. Under Donald Trump, I just want to point out.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Are there any statues there we could tear down or anything?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You wouldn't have to tear it down. Yesterday, Well, it
caught on fire the Claiborne Temple.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh no, I'm so it was an accident or an
act of God.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It looks like extensive damage.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
The plays was largely contained within an hour, but there
were still some hotspots. So firefighters remained on site throughout
the day. Surely not arson, Huh, No, I would hope not.
Investigator from the fire Department, the police, and the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives are working to
determine the cause of the fire.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That was a little suspicious there, don't it.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
They said it ravage The Memphis mayor Paul Jung said
in his statement, the fire ravaged one of the city's
greatest treasures. It's more than just a historic building. It's
sacred ground.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Way, are we stillk about the church or we talk
about Graceland. We're talking about the church, Billy Well said,
the greatest treasure Graceland. Am I right, No, no, no,
that's not what they're talking about now. Things have gone
downhill in that neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Okay, great Graceland is not in a nice part of town,
not anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I don't live in Memphis, but we do have a
lot of listeners there. So I checked the Memphis News
once a day to find out if anything in that
city happened that the rest of our audience might find interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, it usually has something to do with crime and killings,
but not always.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
And we're not here to judge you. Memphis, that's pretty
much the same thing in our city.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh yeah, hell yeah. You can't get away from that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
But this happened yesterday early morning, fire there, and that's
a loss. The other thing everybody in Memphis is talking
about right now is the Tyree Nichols case. Former Memphis
officers were frustrated when they claim when they fatally beat
Tyree Nichols. According to the prosecutors, jall remember this. It
was a few years ago. There was a traffic stop
and four three three or four cops beat this guy
(12:21):
to death.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I don't remember it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I think there were five cops associated with it. I
can't remember if they all got charged with something. The
national news media immediately called racism on this right. Problem
is everybody involved was a diverse person, was diverse, was.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Diverse, diverse yeeah.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But remember when you put on the uniform, you you
blew out the black or the brown or whatever it
is you are. That immediately makes you white. A police
uniform makes you the man, and the man is white obviously.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But no, these were black guys. That's actually not true.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
As a twenty nine year old black man lived with
his mom his stepfather. Footage led to national protests raised
the volume on calls for police reform. Police video showed
officers pepper sprang Tyrene Nichols and hitting him with a
taser before he ran away from a traffic stop January seventh,
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
He would not complying and with the officers commands.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I mean, it does seem like if he had just
done what he was told, he'd still be alive. But
the five officers, who are all black, chased and caught
him just steps from his home and then beat him.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
As he called for his mom. Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
The video showed the officers milling about talking and was
it just the bodycam's bodycam?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, didn't have somebody off to the side. I don't know.
I think it was bodycam. Yeah. And anyway, so now
that trial has been going on, and.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I will say this, I don't know if the cops
responded the right way, but he'd still be alive if
he had just done what every one of us would
have done if we were at a traffic stop.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Don't run away, Yeah, comply, don't don't fight with the cops,
don't run just just take it up with the judge later,
get a lawyer, do what you gotta do. I know,
seems like, well, this will be a lot faster if
I just run away and they won't catch me.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
No, it's a stupid idea.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's not gonna work, I believe it or not. I've
been detained. I am no stranger to the back seat
of a cop car. It's happened to me before I know.
I'm not the only one in this room.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I sat in the back of a cop car about
three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Why what were you doing?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
We just gave me a ride.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh that was cool though, Yeah, it was good. You know.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I had a little, a little engine problem with the
old truck and it was on the side of the road.
Cop gave me a ride. They didn't have to go far.
But I gotta tell you, they won't let you ride
up front, mainly because that passenger seat is just crowded
full of their paperwork. And they got that big computer
terminal in there. You know, they got a big screw.
They got so much equipment there. You know, it's their
(14:48):
mobile office. They don't want you up front touching stuff.
So I sat in the back. They ain't no door
handles back there.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Look, I don't mean to rub it in your face,
but not only have I sat in front, I've driven
the cop car.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You may recall the John Walton Memorial ride more than once.
I got to sit in the driver's sea.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Let you do it a second time, though, after you
were so annoying the first time with the siren bleep,
bleep bleep, and the intercom speaker.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I just thought it was a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
The part I was surprised about is I didn't get
any trouble for smoking weed in there yet.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That surprised. Still America's favorite radio morning show, Walton and Johnson.
Oooh yeah,
Thing to share with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Lisa just wrote regarding a topic we discussed earlier. You
dudes interrupted lifting to see if a homeless woman was naked. Well,
I mean, you know now we know what'll stop you
from lifting, huh.

Speaker 3 (00:34):

that's still a weird thing to wear in a parking
lot of a strip mall.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
On it, we're any of y'all volunteering to give her
her Vitamin D?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You no, because I don't want to get a stop
a sunshine herpies or whatever.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
No, you don't want that. There's no way the crackhead.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, did the did the bar bend? When you stood
up from that lift? May rise up? You know, You've
got to pop them knees and thust them hips a
little bit so that way the bar starts bouncing on
both ends because you got.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
So much weight up there. Well, my it curves a
little the left. But my doctor says that's normal. It's
a very common thing.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know. It doesn't nothing to be concerned about.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
That. Peripheral vision, not priapism vision. That's different.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Let me tell you something about smoking too much pot
don't okay, don't smoke too much Potter. You might think
you have a venereal disease when you don't your lord,
this didn't happened to me and happened to a friend.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh yeah, right, the that's what they always say.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The other day, my friend ran six miles in the
park and then he, uh, he's going to bed at night,
and he starts.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Itching down there and you go to bed really early, yeah,
he does. How'd you know?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
So he shows the doctor the eye with his Uh,

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Let's just say it's an iPhone phone.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Let's just say it's an iPhone sixteen that he got
from his T mobile endorsement and.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Not me. And so he shows it to.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The doctor and the doctor starts laughing, and he's like,
what's so funny? He goes, you just have jockeych that's
not that it's not of an aerial disease.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
If you're just scratching for no particular reason, that doesn't
sound a disease.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Like no, he said, no, he's like, whoa, I let
the crab. You wouldn't know nothing about that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The doctor says, your problem is you're just in too
good a shape. You exercise too much, probably a little
too handsome as well. That's your friend, your friend saying
this is He said he'd never seen a doctor laugh
so much on an iPhone telehealth. Not to be fair,
he didn't do a lot of these in the past,
so of course, but he slept better that night knowing
it was just jockitch.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Anyway, that wasn't in the email at all. Back to
the email, This one says, tell that woman not to
pour out your fresh hot coffee, which is the woman
that works here.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
We love her.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
If they say, if she thinks she's helping, leave her
a sticky note that says, if you want to help
us make a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh no, we're not going to be misogynists.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And she gets upset, all you have to do is
tell her calm down. That always works with women.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Look, I'm a male feminist and so I defend women.
I think that they and women can calm down. I
mean they won't. They refuse to, but they could if
they wanted to. You know, that's a great thing about women.
They could do anything they want. That's right, all right.
So a lot of debate over the California High Speed
Rail and the Texas High Speed Rail couldn't help.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But notice that's that that's gone at Texas high Speed Rail,
that's supposed to be done and over out gone.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, they debated it yesterday in Austin.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Put a put a stick in it, or something that's done.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It should be. And yet the conversation's continued now for
as long? How long has it been going on? For
as long as I've been in Texas?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yea long?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
If I lived in Texas more than half of my
adult life, most of my adult life at this point,
I've lived in Texas, and I can remember moving here
and hearing people talk about, boy, they really want to
build that high speed rail from Dallas to Houston.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Why who's that for?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
There's like nine people that want it, and you know
who doesn't want it, everyone that owns land between Dallas
and Houston. That reminds me of tornado warnings today for
our friends in the Metroplex and also Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So if you're a, oh yeah, they ain't that far apart,
you know they're really not. No, if you're a tornadoes
can scat too. It's true.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Now we don't have that issue down here today, but
we're with you in spirit.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
We hope you're safe up there. Guys, what do we do?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
What do you mean somebody just sent us a handcrafted
political meme about AOC but we're in Texas where political
memes are illegal.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Well, the governor didn't sign the bill yet, it's still
got to go back to the Senate. But it did
pass the House yesterday, which is amazing because in the
Texas House they can't pass anything. Popular bills that everyone
agrees that they want don't pass in the Texas House.
And yet, weirdly yesterday a meme regulation bill and who
(06:11):
voted for it? Every Democrat and most of the Republicans.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Ain't it crazy? Well, the memes have to do with politics.
Some of the politicians definitely want to get on the
side of no more memes of making fun of me.
How about that the.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Worst Republicans Dustin Burroughs, Gary Gates, Dade Failin, Lacey Hall,
all the different Rhinos in Texas cannot stand these people.
They're not Republicans, They're just politicians that call themselves Republicans.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
They still find it a little bit humorous and a
whole very lot hypocritical that Bernie Sanders and AOC are
out flying around on a fifteen thousand dollars per hour
private jet to attend the fighting oligarchy rally, and of
course they're constantly fighting climate change as well by flying
(07:01):
around in a private jet. Now, the memes that your
little construction business doesn't justify you driving that huge luxury
pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Shame on you.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
However, how are we supposed to get from rally to
rally if we in such a short time, if we
don't have a private jet.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Why do you need to get there in such a
short time.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They need to be there to lead us in the
fight against climate change, and you know, the rich overpowering
the poor.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Do people understand why the one hundred first one hundred
days of the presidency is so important. You're as far
away from an election election season right now as you
can get. The last election is a blip on the radar.
The next election nobody's really talking about right now. All
we're basically talking about is the current administration and the
momentum that they've got. And so Donald Trump's had one
(07:54):
hundred days here and the Liberals are already running for
office again.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Usually that doesn't happen, but this time it did.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yesterday, the liberal media was trying to tell you how
horrible it is that Donald Trump doesn't want people driving
trucks if they can't speak English, and so they're interviewing
a terrible thing. Right, So they're interviewing on ABC News,
different immigration lawyers and different you know, advocates for open borders,
and you know who they didn't ask their opinion truck drivers,
anybody in the shipping industry.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh, they didn't want to go bother them.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Wait, you're telling me you guys are trying to make
the point that Donald Trump is wrong about how asking
truck drivers to speak English, and that's not necessary. It
doesn't you're just trying to target immigrants. Well, hang on
a second here. If you think all he's doing is
being racist, wouldn't the logical thing to do in your
news media report would be to interview people in the
industry in which you're claiming this is a non issue,
(08:45):
that Donald Trump just made it up.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yep, that's exactly what they didn't do. We got an
email from a trucker. I guess you know they could
have looked at checked with us, because we got a
lot of truckers listening, including my own boy, Billion Junior.
He's out there at trucking anyway, says good day radio
Gods trucker Chris here. Oh, this isn't about speaking Mixan
(09:07):
or Spanish, I guess Spanish Spanish. Spell just want to
let you know that your show kept my spirit up
through all of my cancer, stem cell and chemo treatments.
Oh and now I'm finished and they say I'm cancer free.
Love the show. Keep up the good work, Trucker, Well,
you keep up the good work, Chris. You're the one
fighting a good fight out there.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Our job is fun and easy, and you know, we're
very grateful to have it. We love doing this by
it's really the people out there that listen to this
show that are the reason we have a job in
the first place.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Now, medical professionals will tell us we are all fighting
cancer every day. Is this Some of us don't know
it yet or know what kind of where it is yet,
but it's in there.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Speak for yourself. I'm preparing for the apocalypse. There's no
way I'm going to live long enough to die of cancer.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, do not listen to the Walton and Johnson Show
if you're allergic to Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
This document Henry about the famous February first, nineteen sixty
eight sanitation strike in Memphis, Tennessee. It took place at
the Claiborne Temple in downtown Memphis, very closely associated with
the American Civil Rights Movement and doctor Martin Luther King.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Doctor King in his final year.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
The temple was headquarters for the sanitation workers' strike that
brought Kingdom Memphis that year. The campaigns I Am a
Man signs were made in the church's basement I Am
a Man, I Am a Man. In twenty eighteen, it
was designated a National Treasure by the National Trust for
Historic Preservation.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Uh. Under Donald Trump, I just want to point out.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Are there any statues there we could tear down or anything?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
You wouldn't have to tear it down. Yesterday, Well, it
caught on fire the Claiborne Temple.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh no, I'm so it was an accident or an
act of God.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It looks like extensive damage.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
The plays was largely contained within an hour, but there
were still some hotspots. So firefighters remained on site throughout
the day. Surely not arson, Huh, No, I would hope not.
Investigator from the fire Department, the police, and the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives are working to
determine the cause of the fire.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That was a little suspicious there, don't it.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
They said it ravage The Memphis mayor Paul Jung said
in his statement, the fire ravaged one of the city's
greatest treasures. It's more than just a historic building. It's
sacred ground.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Way, are we stillk about the church or we talk
about Graceland. We're talking about the church, Billy Well said,
the greatest treasure Graceland. Am I right, No, no, no,
that's not what they're talking about now. Things have gone
downhill in that neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Okay, great Graceland is not in a nice part of town,
not anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I don't live in Memphis, but we do have a
lot of listeners there. So I checked the Memphis News
once a day to find out if anything in that
city happened that the rest of our audience might find interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, it usually has something to do with crime and killings,
but not always.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
And we're not here to judge you. Memphis, that's pretty
much the same thing in our city.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh yeah, hell yeah. You can't get away from that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
But this happened yesterday early morning, fire there, and that's
a loss. The other thing everybody in Memphis is talking
about right now is the Tyree Nichols case. Former Memphis
officers were frustrated when they claim when they fatally beat
Tyree Nichols. According to the prosecutors, jall remember this. It
was a few years ago. There was a traffic stop
and four three three or four cops beat this guy
(12:21):
to death.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I don't remember it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I think there were five cops associated with it. I
can't remember if they all got charged with something. The
national news media immediately called racism on this right. Problem
is everybody involved was a diverse person, was diverse, was.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Diverse, diverse yeeah.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But remember when you put on the uniform, you you
blew out the black or the brown or whatever it
is you are. That immediately makes you white. A police
uniform makes you the man, and the man is white obviously.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But no, these were black guys. That's actually not true.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
As a twenty nine year old black man lived with
his mom his stepfather. Footage led to national protests raised
the volume on calls for police reform. Police video showed
officers pepper sprang Tyrene Nichols and hitting him with a
taser before he ran away from a traffic stop January seventh,
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
He would not complying and with the officers commands.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I mean, it does seem like if he had just
done what he was told, he'd still be alive. But
the five officers, who are all black, chased and caught
him just steps from his home and then beat him.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
As he called for his mom. Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
The video showed the officers milling about talking and was
it just the bodycam's bodycam?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, didn't have somebody off to the side. I don't know.
I think it was bodycam. Yeah. And anyway, so now
that trial has been going on, and.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I will say this, I don't know if the cops
responded the right way, but he'd still be alive if
he had just done what every one of us would
have done if we were at a traffic stop.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Don't run away, Yeah, comply, don't don't fight with the cops,
don't run just just take it up with the judge later,
get a lawyer, do what you gotta do. I know,
seems like, well, this will be a lot faster if
I just run away and they won't catch me.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
No, it's a stupid idea.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's not gonna work, I believe it or not. I've
been detained. I am no stranger to the back seat
of a cop car. It's happened to me before I know.
I'm not the only one in this room.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I sat in the back of a cop car about
three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Why what were you doing?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
We just gave me a ride.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh that was cool though, Yeah, it was good. You know.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I had a little, a little engine problem with the
old truck and it was on the side of the road.
Cop gave me a ride. They didn't have to go far.
But I gotta tell you, they won't let you ride
up front, mainly because that passenger seat is just crowded
full of their paperwork. And they got that big computer
terminal in there. You know, they got a big screw.
They got so much equipment there. You know, it's their
(14:48):
mobile office. They don't want you up front touching stuff.
So I sat in the back. They ain't no door
handles back there.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Look, I don't mean to rub it in your face,
but not only have I sat in front, I've driven
the cop car.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You may recall the John Walton Memorial ride more than once.
I got to sit in the driver's sea.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Let you do it a second time, though, after you
were so annoying the first time with the siren bleep,
bleep bleep, and the intercom speaker.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I just thought it was a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
The part I was surprised about is I didn't get
any trouble for smoking weed in there yet.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That surprised. Still America's favorite radio morning show, Walton and Johnson.
Oooh yeah,
