Speaker 1 (00:01):
I guess it was about three hours ago. We was
counting off all the good news. A lot of folks
probably sleeping back then. Huh, you know what I'm saying,
But they're probably up now. You're up, right, yeah, Okay,
everybody's up. Now, everybody's up.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Now. It's eight am for crying out out. I guess
actually in.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Nine eight seven, six five or this is when people's
alarms go off Central time.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Okay, it is now eight am in the Central time zone.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You're awake. It's three o'clock in the afternoon in the
Vatican or in Africa. You think people are listening at
the Vatican. I'm sure they are. Well, we started ticking
off the good news, like the tariff deal. This is
a big deal. That's looking good. Peace maybe upon us
with ceasefire talks, hostages being released, the stock market soaring
(00:48):
in futures anyway, drug prescription drug prices going down, and
Trump's getting a new plane. That's pretty much just good
news for him. But all this stuff a Trump's working hard. Honestly,
it's a good day in the world. It's a good
day in America.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The world is a better place today because of Trump's policies,
that's objectively true. Less war is objectively true, a better
economy is objectively true. Lower unemployment is objectively true. What's
the top news story on ASA's objectively true?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yes, no, no.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
The top news story today on ABC News is that
Trump might get a free plane or he might just
get to borrow one.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Now you watch. I don't know if it'll be later
today or tomorrow, but by the end of the week,
for sure, the Democrats will be telling you he's gonna
have to be impeached. Oh, he's taking bribes from foreign
countries in the Middle East of all places. You get that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
The Resolute Desk was a gift. The Statue of Liberty
is a gift.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Do you think any of that matters? This is Trump.
That's a four hundred million dollar plane. I ain't asking
for the world here. I justdn't need an eight moll
two million dollars, thanks baby, I need that, old boy.
Is funny?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Ain't a little bit of news from around the Walton
and Johnson listening region. We first take you to Alabama,
where protesters and business owners who rely on hemp derived
products are desperate to stop a bill that would completely
reshape the hemp industry. In Alabama. If there are any
lawmakers who are Republican in the state of Alabama that
don't like the legalization of a plant, I might remind
(02:22):
you it was Trump who signed the Farm Bill. In
the end, you will be the HB four forty five
is what it's called. One stroke of the governor's pen
could possibly create a law that would destroy the hemp industry.
Delta delta I and that sort of thing in Alabama,
just for Alabama. Right, that won't affect heywood harvest, right,
probably not at all. No, Well that's in Gargia. If no,
(02:44):
If you are someone that isn't sure how you feel
about this law, I remind you this is a Trump policy.
You're getting rid of a Trump policy, do are you
not maga? This is maga. Maga is allowing people in
the agriculture industry to grow plants, and allowing people in
the real retail industry to sell the products derived from
those plants, and allowing average Americans to decide for the
(03:06):
selves if they want those plants to exist in their life.
Your anti Trump, your anti maga. If you support that bill,
go ahead write me your hate mail.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't care. Yeah, it gives you can't he what firm?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Somebody will? By the way, oh absolutely. In the meantime, Jackson, Mississippi.
I know this is a song about Baton Rouge. But
Garth Brooks is involved in a lawsuit in Mississippi right now,
a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the country
music artist against his former hairdresser. Because dismissed that has
(03:37):
been deemed moot. I guess I know which side of
this year taking, mister Garth Brooks.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Garth Brooks moot like you can't speak no, Like that's
that not mute? Moot? You know, like that song.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Jesse's Girl, I want to tell her that I love
her about the point is probably moot. It doesn't matter anyway,
Garth Brooks fouled. Is what you say is both? And
boyd correct?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Garth Brooks filed a suit against his former hairdresser in
a US District court for the Southern District of Mississippi
a federal court room in September to prevent the woman
from going public with allegations that he raped and sexually
assaulted her years earlier. Well, I guess we know now, well, okay, Uh,
the woman who is only being identified as. Jane Rowe
(04:25):
later filed a complaint in a California state court outlining
her accusations against the artists.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Why can't she claim this? She can?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I mean we all found out. It's the Barber streisand effect.
When you try to cover something up, it only makes
more people find out about it. Exactly right in Texas,
we are putting the kabash on Epic City, the proposed
Muslim parallel society.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Putting the kabash when it means they're killing it. Yeah,
but they it's a development. Isn't there a real estate
and developer involved in building this? And they're just going
to tell him you can't develop. They can develop.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Bit, what they can't do is develop a community specifically
for catering to foreign Arabic Muslims that has Sharia law
in it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's not They kept telling everybody. It's like, no, it's good,
it's up for everybody, which, of course it's not. Okay,
just said that because they were trying to get around
somebody's rules. Can me and three women in a bikinis?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Can we sunbathe on our front lawn while we do
kegstands and eat pork sausages?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Can we do that. No, No, they wouldn't allow that anyway.
The development is called Epic City.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's the East Plano Islamic Community City, and a lot
of people have pointed out it's supposed to be a
Muslim only community.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It would be governed by Sharia law.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's interesting to see the liberals defend this but then
tell you that a Christian community of some sort it
wouldn't have been allowed.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Branch Davidian, for example, was too controversial for the Democrats back.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Four point one magnitude earthquake reported in Tennessee felt all
the way into Metro Atlanta. So that would mean our
listeners in Northwest Georgia certainly did feel a little earthquake
over the weekend that I might have.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Just thought they were, you know, you know, maybe just hungover.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Or it could have been a little rumbling because because
Daddy was giving Mama something for Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Or could have been the thunder. Yeah, could have been
the thunder from down under, you're right about that. No,
just the regular kind. They've been going through a little
bit of a storm over there.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And people in New Orleans are thrilled about Poplo. The
fourteenth creole lineage. The city is buzzing with excitement. It's
not just Chicago that's excited about Poplio. People in New
Orleans are celebrating the fact that his family is from
Southeast Louisiana. Yeah, buddy, pretty exciting. There not much else
to say about it, but you know, but that's that. Yeah,
and my new rap album, Black Smoke Mixtape drops this Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You're just pretty much handing that out on the comedy tour.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, we'll be giving that out. Yeah, check
us out coming up Memorial Day weekend. We're gonna be
in Jackson, Mississippi, Metorie Aarnanders.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Starting on that Thursday leading into the weekend. How about that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's gonna be a good time. I'll tell you what.
Everybody's getting pregnant at that. Oh yeah, women are going
to be ovulating. Yeah, I'm already I'm pregnant right now.
I wish you do.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Fun headline at the Babylon be because they it's what
they do, funny headlines. Bernie Sanders buys yet another house
just to make sure that rich people don't get all
of them smart. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the flying around
on his private jets. He is conquering the oligarchy one
private jet mile at a time, all sponsored and brought
(07:28):
to you by big oil. Isn't that amazing? I mean,
how else would the jet get off the ground.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He argued that he doesn't like waiting in line for things.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That's his excuse for, you know, doing everything that he
complains about.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Imagine the irony of a guy that wants breadlines for
Americans arguing that he doesn't like He actually said that.
He said breadlines are a good thing. He's like, I
don't know, I don't know why Americans don't like breadlines.
Breadlines are good. Breadlines mean people are eating.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's like what don't desperate is what it means.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Nobody wants to wait. And that's an actual thing, he said.
Listen to this. Here's the sound bite.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You know, it's funny. Sometimes American journalists talk about how
bad a country is because people are lining up for foods.
That's a good thing. In other countries, people don't line
up for food. The rich gets the food in the
post saw to death. Where other countries in general, just
you know, all the other countries except for the ones
Bernie likes.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Bernie, you live in a country where poor people are fat.
Do you understand how much what you're saying is not
true at all? It's not even close to being true. Oh,
they're lining up to get bread. That's that's good.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They're lining up because they're starving and this is the
only way they can eat.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And guess what. The breadline runs out at some point.
Who's running the breadline? The government? Yeah, that's where the
rich people are. That's who's got all the food, and
that lets you have some if you act right.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Imagine spending all day talking about how bad monopolies are
while not realizing that a government is a monopoly. M hm,
the government. If the government controls healthcare, that's a monopoly.
If the government's distributing food, that's a monopoly. If the
government is the only place where your child can get
an education, guess what that is. A's a candy land. No,
(09:12):
it's a monopoly. Monopoly that you think these people would realize.
It's not hard to understand monopolies are bad. Why would
it be any different when it was the government? All right, Well, anyway,
coming up in a little bit, Trump says total reset
negotiated with China during the intense ten hour tariff talks
in Geneva.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
We got the better end of this deal.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Dude. Yeah, coming into America is going to be a
thirty percent tariff, going out is going to be a
ten percent tariff. It is now cheaper for US to
sell things to China than it is for them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
But that's called payback because they've been having no way
with us way too long. So Trump say, it seems fair,
you know, thirty for you, two for us. I like it.
That's good. I like it too. And the thing that
Trump did with the transgenders and the military deal, right,
I did not even think about this, but good news,
Corporal Clinger has finally gotten out of the army.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Wow, congratulations Corporal clingeries all these years.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
If this was a dating app, you would swipe left. Well,
Nan Johnson Show will be right back points right now.
The stockmar the doll yeah, in futures now, it's still
fourteen minutes until the opening bill. Anything's possible, and it
could be wrong, but the dow futures up a thousand
and four points right now. You know what that means?
(10:29):
They have a million dollars you got and you'll retirement
fun And I don't know how many millions you got,
but I have a million dollars. That's a twenty five thousand.
That's two and a half will sit at a doll
right there. Wow, that's cool. That's like four hundred bucks.
You know. Yeah, for the rest of us, that's great news.
But no, it is exciting.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Here's a fun experiment because you have about fifteen minutes here,
if you're listening to us live.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Look at your portfolio right now.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
We'll go look at your four o one K retirement
whatever you have, and then go look at it again
in twenty minutes and just remember Trump did that. And oh,
by the way, here's your rebuttal when you're excited about
this at work and your liberal friend says, oh, it's
just going back to the market what it was if
it wasn't for Trump's trade war.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, actually it's not.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
We're getting out of this trade war with a better
deal than we had going into it, so it's good.
I'm sorry that you don't understand how economics works. But
having a better trade.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Deal to go up and go down, I told you
when it went down it was gonna come back up,
didn't I obviously, And you told them and you said
maybe it's a buying opportunity. How many people went out
and balsom stuff while it was down? Oh? Me, me,
you me? How many people took your advice? I don't know.
I don't know either, but if you did, maybe a
little late.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Now here's a tip to our younger listeners, especially the
men out there. No offense women. Men are a little
more financially savvy.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh look at you. Well, tell my friend Jillian that,
who runs her own financial company.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There are always exceptions, and I bet Jillian would agree.
I love I get advice from Jillian. I love her.
She's brilliant. I'm a big fan of Jillian. Hey, she's married,
I know, but I'm one of the biggest Jillian fans
out there. Is she married or engaged?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Uh? You didn't see the Did she get married this weekend?
She went to Hawaii? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I don't feel like we're really telling stories out of
school here because she put it all over faithbook.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I didn't know. I didn't I miss that. Well, congratulations
to Jillian. That's very awesome and her handsome husband, that's
very cool news. You kick your butt woman, I believe you,
and I wouldn't dare okay. But that being said, let's
start with this. Young men out there, how do you
take advantage of moments like this?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You like women? No? Financially, Oh yeah, that's different. That's
up to you.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Volatility. I learned this from a great financial wizard, a
guy named mister Oh taught this to me. Volatility exists.
The market is going to go up and down. It's
going to fluctuate in the grand scheme of things long
term because of things like inflation. The market's mostly going
to go up, but it won't always go up every day.
Sometimes it dips down. You should always have a few
thousand dollars saved for when the market takes a dip.
(12:59):
Put to have a little cash ready get to go.
You don't have to be a millionaire, but you have
to save some money. Don't spend all your money on
cars and women and partying.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Talk about percentages more than actual numbers, because everybody's number
is different.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But at the very least, try to have a few
thousand bucks similarly, and this is more important than having
the money in the account. To take advantage of volatility,
you should always have six months of money to live
off of. Put that aside before you do anything else.
When you go out and get your first job, whether
you're an oil and gas or radio or whatever it
(13:33):
may be, you're a computer programmer.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And it depends on how much you spend or how
much you need to spend. Now, let's say the worst happens,
you lose your job, right that six months kicks in. Well,
hopefully besides having that savings ready to help you out
a safety net, you also could scale back a little.
I know it's America and we don't scale back. Yeah,
(13:56):
maybe you could just spend a little less. But does
that occur to you anybody? That was Trump's whole point
when the trade war happened. One of the soundbites liberals
were using to dunk on him was him saying, maybe
your daughter doesn't need thirty dollars, Maybe she needs three dollars.
Maybe you don't need the red bottomed shoes that cost
twelve hundred dollars. Maybe you could get by with a
pair of Nikes. We're trying to fix the economy. Actually,
(14:18):
nikes are predy expensive.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
We're trying to build an economy that'll still work for
your kids. Look, I never liked the trade deal. I
never liked the tariff war. But I was objective enough
to say, hey, let's give it a try. Be pragmatic,
because it is indisputably true that for decades and decades
and decades our trade deals have sucked.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We've used the fact that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Our economy is strong and other countries' economies are weak
to negotiate things that didn't seem like they mattered at
the time. Fine, we'll give you a better trade deal.
You give us this land mass, we'll give you a
better trade deal. You let us build a military base here.
In the end, those didn't turn out to be long
term beneficial things that benefited the middle class. In the end,
those turned out to be things that were actually bad
(14:57):
for the middle class. They were good for the very
rich elite, but they certainly weren't good for people in
the rustbelt who had factory jobs.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It was hell for them. They all became unemployed junkies.
So it's not just about the Asians anymore. No, No, yeah,
well you said it was the Fluctuasians fluctuate. It's not
with them, But what about the rest of us, Mister Kenneth,
can you help me out here.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm not even gonna discuss that all right, Well anyway
in the world of I was just.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Reading about Asians in this news story too while he
was talking. I mean, I was listening, but I was
also finding out what happened. Are you sure it's a
news story? What does it say? Well, NASA, you know
they got rocket sciences over there, so they jumps. They
claimed that a big old earthquake in China, somewhere over there.
It was so powerful. How powerful was it? It shifted
(15:47):
the Earth's axis and changed the length of a day,
that's what they say. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, they Uh,
I don't know where this Shumatra earthquake was, if it
was in China or somewhere around way over there on
the other side. Uh, they said it changed everywhere just
in China, the whole planet, the whole planet. Earthquake killed
(16:10):
two hundred and thirty thousand people across fourteen countries. It
is a a big sizeo meters as mama mam meters.
Uh picked up vibrations for days. The earthquake registered a
nine on the scale, fourth largest earthquake in the last
one hundred years. So intense. How was that that it
(16:35):
it changed the length of a day, shortened it by
two point six microseconds. Well you did this. Why are
you so gay for space? Space? Space, this Earth, this Earth, space, Eartha,
You're getting gay for the wrong thing, Guinea. It's in space.
Earth is in space, agreed, Digree, Earth is here. When
(16:55):
we look at space, space is out there here. If
we were on the moon or would be spake.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Okay, but you're segueing to space news, of which I
have some. And this report is brought to you by
Oh uh, I'm glad you mentioned that. It's the Silver
Slipper Casino.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Love them. I just was looking at their website a
little while ago, and I noticed the big pictures, well
the pictures of normal size pictures of big pens full
of those crabs that you love so much. I do
love crabs. I got the big crabs. Yeah, you can
stay and play at the Silver Slipper because they have
(17:30):
rooms and they got a pool and then the Gulf
of America's right outside your window. Love that. Oh, it's
all wonderful. The Silver Slipper Casino. We're having crabs is
a good thing. Yes, all right, So let's start off
with this.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Doje is tracking NASA in plays as they come and
go at NASA headquarters. I don't know why this is controversial,
but people are mad about this. Back in March, we
learned that NASA was using AI facial recognition technology to
watch their in place, see when they're coming and going,
and you know they should be showing up at work.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Why would anyone be mad about this? Is somebody punching
a time card in for their buddy and he didn't
actually come to work today. Right.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
We have software that tells us if you're actually there. Okay, okay,
so what are you mad about? That's exactly how it
works in corporate America. Meanwhile, people are also mad about this.
Space AX had an employee with Crohn's disease and they
fired this person for excessive bathroom years. Oh no, that's
not right again, more negative news about months today, surveillance, bullying,
in the timing of bathroom breaks.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
They're all in a day's work at SpaceX. That's that
crones thing was just an excuse. I mean, you know,
somebody might have dug into a little bit. I assume
that probably is the disease itself, but you know people
will lie.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
The chronic bowel disease causes frequent, unexpected bathroom visits. Oh yeah,
and this guy says he was fired just because he
goes to the toilet too much. Meanwhile, NASA just got
a rare look inside Ranus.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Hey, get out of there.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
No, no, it's not what you think. It's literally the
planet here. The stellar occultation, visible only from parts of
the western North America, allowed researchers to measure changes in
Uranus's atmosphere that haven't been studied this thoroughly in decades.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
This is really something.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
We're really looking deep into Uranus and seeing what's going
on in there. I gotta tell you, there's stuff in
there we never would have thought we would find, like
a light bulb and an old cucumber.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So that while Hamas is dodging missiles, these dudes are
dodging their neighbors. Hoa fines. This is the Walton and
Johnson Show.
I guess it was about three hours ago. We was
counting off all the good news. A lot of folks
probably sleeping back then. Huh, you know what I'm saying,
But they're probably up now. You're up, right, yeah, Okay,
everybody's up. Now, everybody's up.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Now. It's eight am for crying out out. I guess
actually in.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Nine eight seven, six five or this is when people's
alarms go off Central time.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Okay, it is now eight am in the Central time zone.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You're awake. It's three o'clock in the afternoon in the
Vatican or in Africa. You think people are listening at
the Vatican. I'm sure they are. Well, we started ticking
off the good news, like the tariff deal. This is
a big deal. That's looking good. Peace maybe upon us
with ceasefire talks, hostages being released, the stock market soaring
(00:48):
in futures anyway, drug prescription drug prices going down, and
Trump's getting a new plane. That's pretty much just good
news for him. But all this stuff a Trump's working hard. Honestly,
it's a good day in the world. It's a good
day in America.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The world is a better place today because of Trump's policies,
that's objectively true. Less war is objectively true, a better
economy is objectively true. Lower unemployment is objectively true. What's
the top news story on ASA's objectively true?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yes, no, no.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
The top news story today on ABC News is that
Trump might get a free plane or he might just
get to borrow one.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Now you watch. I don't know if it'll be later
today or tomorrow, but by the end of the week,
for sure, the Democrats will be telling you he's gonna
have to be impeached. Oh, he's taking bribes from foreign
countries in the Middle East of all places. You get that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
The Resolute Desk was a gift. The Statue of Liberty
is a gift.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Do you think any of that matters? This is Trump.
That's a four hundred million dollar plane. I ain't asking
for the world here. I justdn't need an eight moll
two million dollars, thanks baby, I need that, old boy.
Is funny?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Ain't a little bit of news from around the Walton
and Johnson listening region. We first take you to Alabama,
where protesters and business owners who rely on hemp derived
products are desperate to stop a bill that would completely
reshape the hemp industry. In Alabama. If there are any
lawmakers who are Republican in the state of Alabama that
don't like the legalization of a plant, I might remind
(02:22):
you it was Trump who signed the Farm Bill. In
the end, you will be the HB four forty five
is what it's called. One stroke of the governor's pen
could possibly create a law that would destroy the hemp industry.
Delta delta I and that sort of thing in Alabama,
just for Alabama. Right, that won't affect heywood harvest, right,
probably not at all. No, Well that's in Gargia. If no,
(02:44):
If you are someone that isn't sure how you feel
about this law, I remind you this is a Trump policy.
You're getting rid of a Trump policy, do are you
not maga? This is maga. Maga is allowing people in
the agriculture industry to grow plants, and allowing people in
the real retail industry to sell the products derived from
those plants, and allowing average Americans to decide for the

Your anti Trump, your anti maga. If you support that bill,
go ahead write me your hate mail.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't care. Yeah, it gives you can't he what firm?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Somebody will? By the way, oh absolutely. In the meantime, Jackson, Mississippi.
I know this is a song about Baton Rouge. But
Garth Brooks is involved in a lawsuit in Mississippi right now,
a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the country
music artist against his former hairdresser. Because dismissed that has
(03:37):
been deemed moot. I guess I know which side of
this year taking, mister Garth Brooks.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Garth Brooks moot like you can't speak no, Like that's
that not mute? Moot? You know, like that song.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Jesse's Girl, I want to tell her that I love
her about the point is probably moot. It doesn't matter anyway,
Garth Brooks fouled. Is what you say is both? And
boyd correct?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Garth Brooks filed a suit against his former hairdresser in
a US District court for the Southern District of Mississippi
a federal court room in September to prevent the woman
from going public with allegations that he raped and sexually
assaulted her years earlier. Well, I guess we know now, well, okay, Uh,
the woman who is only being identified as. Jane Rowe
(04:25):
later filed a complaint in a California state court outlining
her accusations against the artists.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Why can't she claim this? She can?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I mean we all found out. It's the Barber streisand effect.
When you try to cover something up, it only makes
more people find out about it. Exactly right in Texas,
we are putting the kabash on Epic City, the proposed
Muslim parallel society.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Putting the kabash when it means they're killing it. Yeah,
but they it's a development. Isn't there a real estate
and developer involved in building this? And they're just going
to tell him you can't develop. They can develop.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Bit, what they can't do is develop a community specifically
for catering to foreign Arabic Muslims that has Sharia law
in it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's not They kept telling everybody. It's like, no, it's good,
it's up for everybody, which, of course it's not. Okay,
just said that because they were trying to get around
somebody's rules. Can me and three women in a bikinis?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Can we sunbathe on our front lawn while we do
kegstands and eat pork sausages?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Can we do that. No, No, they wouldn't allow that anyway.
The development is called Epic City.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's the East Plano Islamic Community City, and a lot
of people have pointed out it's supposed to be a
Muslim only community.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It would be governed by Sharia law.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's interesting to see the liberals defend this but then
tell you that a Christian community of some sort it
wouldn't have been allowed.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Branch Davidian, for example, was too controversial for the Democrats back.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Four point one magnitude earthquake reported in Tennessee felt all
the way into Metro Atlanta. So that would mean our
listeners in Northwest Georgia certainly did feel a little earthquake
over the weekend that I might have.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Just thought they were, you know, you know, maybe just hungover.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Or it could have been a little rumbling because because
Daddy was giving Mama something for Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Or could have been the thunder. Yeah, could have been
the thunder from down under, you're right about that. No,
just the regular kind. They've been going through a little
bit of a storm over there.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And people in New Orleans are thrilled about Poplo. The
fourteenth creole lineage. The city is buzzing with excitement. It's
not just Chicago that's excited about Poplio. People in New
Orleans are celebrating the fact that his family is from
Southeast Louisiana. Yeah, buddy, pretty exciting. There not much else
to say about it, but you know, but that's that. Yeah,
and my new rap album, Black Smoke Mixtape drops this Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You're just pretty much handing that out on the comedy tour.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, we'll be giving that out. Yeah, check
us out coming up Memorial Day weekend. We're gonna be
in Jackson, Mississippi, Metorie Aarnanders.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Starting on that Thursday leading into the weekend. How about that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's gonna be a good time. I'll tell you what.
Everybody's getting pregnant at that. Oh yeah, women are going
to be ovulating. Yeah, I'm already I'm pregnant right now.
I wish you do.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Fun headline at the Babylon be because they it's what
they do, funny headlines. Bernie Sanders buys yet another house
just to make sure that rich people don't get all
of them smart. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the flying around
on his private jets. He is conquering the oligarchy one
private jet mile at a time, all sponsored and brought
(07:28):
to you by big oil. Isn't that amazing? I mean,
how else would the jet get off the ground.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He argued that he doesn't like waiting in line for things.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That's his excuse for, you know, doing everything that he
complains about.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Imagine the irony of a guy that wants breadlines for
Americans arguing that he doesn't like He actually said that.
He said breadlines are a good thing. He's like, I
don't know, I don't know why Americans don't like breadlines.
Breadlines are good. Breadlines mean people are eating.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's like what don't desperate is what it means.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Nobody wants to wait. And that's an actual thing, he said.
Listen to this. Here's the sound bite.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You know, it's funny. Sometimes American journalists talk about how
bad a country is because people are lining up for foods.
That's a good thing. In other countries, people don't line
up for food. The rich gets the food in the
post saw to death. Where other countries in general, just
you know, all the other countries except for the ones
Bernie likes.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Bernie, you live in a country where poor people are fat.
Do you understand how much what you're saying is not
true at all? It's not even close to being true. Oh,
they're lining up to get bread. That's that's good.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They're lining up because they're starving and this is the
only way they can eat.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And guess what. The breadline runs out at some point.
Who's running the breadline? The government? Yeah, that's where the
rich people are. That's who's got all the food, and
that lets you have some if you act right.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Imagine spending all day talking about how bad monopolies are
while not realizing that a government is a monopoly. M hm,
the government. If the government controls healthcare, that's a monopoly.
If the government's distributing food, that's a monopoly. If the
government is the only place where your child can get
an education, guess what that is. A's a candy land. No,
(09:12):
it's a monopoly. Monopoly that you think these people would realize.
It's not hard to understand monopolies are bad. Why would
it be any different when it was the government? All right, Well, anyway,
coming up in a little bit, Trump says total reset
negotiated with China during the intense ten hour tariff talks
in Geneva.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
We got the better end of this deal.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Dude. Yeah, coming into America is going to be a
thirty percent tariff, going out is going to be a
ten percent tariff. It is now cheaper for US to
sell things to China than it is for them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
But that's called payback because they've been having no way
with us way too long. So Trump say, it seems fair,
you know, thirty for you, two for us. I like it.
That's good. I like it too. And the thing that
Trump did with the transgenders and the military deal, right,
I did not even think about this, but good news,
Corporal Clinger has finally gotten out of the army.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Wow, congratulations Corporal clingeries all these years.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
If this was a dating app, you would swipe left. Well,
Nan Johnson Show will be right back points right now.
The stockmar the doll yeah, in futures now, it's still
fourteen minutes until the opening bill. Anything's possible, and it
could be wrong, but the dow futures up a thousand
and four points right now. You know what that means?
(10:29):
They have a million dollars you got and you'll retirement
fun And I don't know how many millions you got,
but I have a million dollars. That's a twenty five thousand.
That's two and a half will sit at a doll
right there. Wow, that's cool. That's like four hundred bucks.
You know. Yeah, for the rest of us, that's great news.
But no, it is exciting.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Here's a fun experiment because you have about fifteen minutes here,
if you're listening to us live.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Look at your portfolio right now.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
We'll go look at your four o one K retirement
whatever you have, and then go look at it again
in twenty minutes and just remember Trump did that. And oh,
by the way, here's your rebuttal when you're excited about
this at work and your liberal friend says, oh, it's
just going back to the market what it was if
it wasn't for Trump's trade war.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, actually it's not.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
We're getting out of this trade war with a better
deal than we had going into it, so it's good.
I'm sorry that you don't understand how economics works. But
having a better trade.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Deal to go up and go down, I told you
when it went down it was gonna come back up,
didn't I obviously, And you told them and you said
maybe it's a buying opportunity. How many people went out
and balsom stuff while it was down? Oh? Me, me,
you me? How many people took your advice? I don't know.
I don't know either, but if you did, maybe a
little late.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Now here's a tip to our younger listeners, especially the
men out there. No offense women. Men are a little
more financially savvy.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh look at you. Well, tell my friend Jillian that,
who runs her own financial company.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There are always exceptions, and I bet Jillian would agree.
I love I get advice from Jillian. I love her.
She's brilliant. I'm a big fan of Jillian. Hey, she's married,
I know, but I'm one of the biggest Jillian fans
out there. Is she married or engaged?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Uh? You didn't see the Did she get married this weekend?
She went to Hawaii? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I don't feel like we're really telling stories out of
school here because she put it all over faithbook.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I didn't know. I didn't I miss that. Well, congratulations
to Jillian. That's very awesome and her handsome husband, that's
very cool news. You kick your butt woman, I believe you,
and I wouldn't dare okay. But that being said, let's
start with this. Young men out there, how do you
take advantage of moments like this?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You like women? No? Financially, Oh yeah, that's different. That's
up to you.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Volatility. I learned this from a great financial wizard, a
guy named mister Oh taught this to me. Volatility exists.
The market is going to go up and down. It's
going to fluctuate in the grand scheme of things long
term because of things like inflation. The market's mostly going
to go up, but it won't always go up every day.
Sometimes it dips down. You should always have a few
thousand dollars saved for when the market takes a dip.
(12:59):
Put to have a little cash ready get to go.
You don't have to be a millionaire, but you have
to save some money. Don't spend all your money on
cars and women and partying.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Talk about percentages more than actual numbers, because everybody's number
is different.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But at the very least, try to have a few
thousand bucks similarly, and this is more important than having
the money in the account. To take advantage of volatility,
you should always have six months of money to live
off of. Put that aside before you do anything else.
When you go out and get your first job, whether
you're an oil and gas or radio or whatever it
(13:33):
may be, you're a computer programmer.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And it depends on how much you spend or how
much you need to spend. Now, let's say the worst happens,
you lose your job, right that six months kicks in. Well,
hopefully besides having that savings ready to help you out
a safety net, you also could scale back a little.
I know it's America and we don't scale back. Yeah,
(13:56):
maybe you could just spend a little less. But does
that occur to you anybody? That was Trump's whole point
when the trade war happened. One of the soundbites liberals
were using to dunk on him was him saying, maybe
your daughter doesn't need thirty dollars, Maybe she needs three dollars.
Maybe you don't need the red bottomed shoes that cost
twelve hundred dollars. Maybe you could get by with a
pair of Nikes. We're trying to fix the economy. Actually,
(14:18):
nikes are predy expensive.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
We're trying to build an economy that'll still work for
your kids. Look, I never liked the trade deal. I
never liked the tariff war. But I was objective enough
to say, hey, let's give it a try. Be pragmatic,
because it is indisputably true that for decades and decades
and decades our trade deals have sucked.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We've used the fact that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Our economy is strong and other countries' economies are weak
to negotiate things that didn't seem like they mattered at
the time. Fine, we'll give you a better trade deal.
You give us this land mass, we'll give you a
better trade deal. You let us build a military base here.
In the end, those didn't turn out to be long
term beneficial things that benefited the middle class. In the end,
those turned out to be things that were actually bad
(14:57):
for the middle class. They were good for the very
rich elite, but they certainly weren't good for people in
the rustbelt who had factory jobs.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It was hell for them. They all became unemployed junkies.
So it's not just about the Asians anymore. No, No, yeah,
well you said it was the Fluctuasians fluctuate. It's not
with them, But what about the rest of us, Mister Kenneth,
can you help me out here.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm not even gonna discuss that all right, Well anyway
in the world of I was just.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Reading about Asians in this news story too while he
was talking. I mean, I was listening, but I was
also finding out what happened. Are you sure it's a
news story? What does it say? Well, NASA, you know
they got rocket sciences over there, so they jumps. They
claimed that a big old earthquake in China, somewhere over there.
It was so powerful. How powerful was it? It shifted
(15:47):
the Earth's axis and changed the length of a day,
that's what they say. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, they Uh,
I don't know where this Shumatra earthquake was, if it
was in China or somewhere around way over there on
the other side. Uh, they said it changed everywhere just
in China, the whole planet, the whole planet. Earthquake killed
(16:10):
two hundred and thirty thousand people across fourteen countries. It
is a a big sizeo meters as mama mam meters.
Uh picked up vibrations for days. The earthquake registered a
nine on the scale, fourth largest earthquake in the last
one hundred years. So intense. How was that that it
(16:35):
it changed the length of a day, shortened it by
two point six microseconds. Well you did this. Why are
you so gay for space? Space? Space, this Earth, this Earth, space, Eartha,
You're getting gay for the wrong thing, Guinea. It's in space.
Earth is in space, agreed, Digree, Earth is here. When
(16:55):
we look at space, space is out there here. If
we were on the moon or would be spake.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Okay, but you're segueing to space news, of which I
have some. And this report is brought to you by
Oh uh, I'm glad you mentioned that. It's the Silver
Slipper Casino.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Love them. I just was looking at their website a
little while ago, and I noticed the big pictures, well
the pictures of normal size pictures of big pens full
of those crabs that you love so much. I do
love crabs. I got the big crabs. Yeah, you can
stay and play at the Silver Slipper because they have
(17:30):
rooms and they got a pool and then the Gulf
of America's right outside your window. Love that. Oh, it's
all wonderful. The Silver Slipper Casino. We're having crabs is
a good thing. Yes, all right, So let's start off
with this.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Doje is tracking NASA in plays as they come and
go at NASA headquarters. I don't know why this is controversial,
but people are mad about this. Back in March, we
learned that NASA was using AI facial recognition technology to
watch their in place, see when they're coming and going,
and you know they should be showing up at work.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Why would anyone be mad about this? Is somebody punching
a time card in for their buddy and he didn't
actually come to work today. Right.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
We have software that tells us if you're actually there. Okay, okay,
so what are you mad about? That's exactly how it
works in corporate America. Meanwhile, people are also mad about this.
Space AX had an employee with Crohn's disease and they
fired this person for excessive bathroom years. Oh no, that's
not right again, more negative news about months today, surveillance, bullying,
in the timing of bathroom breaks.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
They're all in a day's work at SpaceX. That's that
crones thing was just an excuse. I mean, you know,
somebody might have dug into a little bit. I assume
that probably is the disease itself, but you know people
will lie.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
The chronic bowel disease causes frequent, unexpected bathroom visits. Oh yeah,
and this guy says he was fired just because he
goes to the toilet too much. Meanwhile, NASA just got
a rare look inside Ranus.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Hey, get out of there.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
No, no, it's not what you think. It's literally the
planet here. The stellar occultation, visible only from parts of
the western North America, allowed researchers to measure changes in
Uranus's atmosphere that haven't been studied this thoroughly in decades.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
This is really something.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
We're really looking deep into Uranus and seeing what's going
on in there. I gotta tell you, there's stuff in
there we never would have thought we would find, like
a light bulb and an old cucumber.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So that while Hamas is dodging missiles, these dudes are
dodging their neighbors. Hoa fines. This is the Walton and
Johnson Show.
