Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today is Juneteenth, which, as you know, celebrates.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The day before June twentieth.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
No, no, it's it celebrates the end of slavery of spring,
but it's mostly known as being the holiday with the
most awkward line of Hallmark cards.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh, that's that's as tricky as it is.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I mean, how do you give a Juneteenth card to someone?
And or do you?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Or do you not? Don't?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's some to win Happy Juneteenth. Glad you're not a slave.
That's a weird thing to put on a car.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Maybe go a different direction. What else you got, now,
let's throw some against the walls.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
He wills to do.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I mean, if you just explain what it is on
the card, it's like, why is this on a card?
It's almost kind of offensive, you know. And if you
don't buy the card, aren't you a racist?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I mean, you're a racist. If you buy it, you're It's.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Like, why don't we just say it's the last day
of spring and just just enjoy that because summer starts
tomorrow in the Northern hemisphere of course obviously.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
That's where we are, and Prime Days coming up in
four days as well. Prime Day kind of like Black Friday,
except you're saying prime it's no Prime Day on Amazon?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
What's this whole month's been about.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
If it hadn't been about Pride, you gotta fly rainbow
flags and do all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, there is no Pride Day.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's Pride Year, well month, but yeah month, Like, I
like your your idea.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Why are you so homophobic? That's what is going on.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Amazon is expanding its Prime Day event to four days.
Prime Day is kind of like Black Friday, except without
all the riots.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, and the stampedings and the tramplings, and frankly, it
would it really be the day after Thanksgiving if you
didn't get stabbed at least a little.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
But even if it's just with a high heel.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
But today is June teenth. Today's the day that you
go to the barber because he's like your therapist, your philosopher,
and a conspiracy theorist all in one.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You sure, hope. So I like going to the black barber.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But whenever I walk in there and they always look
confused to see me a bit, you know, but I'm
happy to see them.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I just like being a party something, you know. I
know it's important. You're kind of trying to feed in everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And you could come hang out with us this weekend
as we'll be celebrating mister Roh's birthday, my birthday, and
Juneteenth all day long on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And Pride Year.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, it's gonna be a big celebration in Acadiana. We're
gonna be at Billy's boot Ann in the morning at eleven,
We're gonna be at Pizza on Johnston at five, and
then at night we're gonna be at some steakhouse called
Michaels from eight to ten pmmc. Yeah, michael Men's Club,
Michael's the whole thing. Michael's pilates for Men's Quad.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's that's kind of it. Yeah, it's gonna be a
lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We're gonna be doing pilates, which, as you know, is
kind of like doing keegels. But when you're a man
and then weird they don't have keegels for men.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You could still do the exercise. You know, you still
have the same general area that you need to keep fit.
I don't think that the undercarriage, as they say, I
don't think that's true. I don't think you know, there's
some different parts in there, but it depends on how
you identify.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
If you identify as a woman, then you can keegel
all day long. Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In that case, So they had this hearing yesterday and
apparently Joe Biden is not a smart man, and so
none of the Democrats showed up to it, and Ted
Cruz went scorched earth on these guys.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
A single Democrat is here today because not a single
one of them gives a damn about the fact that
they lied to the American people for four years. They knew,
every one of them knew that Joe Biden was mentally
not competent to do the job. The White House Press secretary,
she knew when she stood in front of the American
(03:29):
people and lied over and over and over again. And
they're not here because they can't defend themselves. It wasn't
a surprise. For four years, the White House hid President
Biden from Republican Senators, would.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Not let him meet with us.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
He served forty years in this body.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
We all know him, and.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
They deliberately lied. And by the way, Jake Tapper had
a bombshell book exposing the incredible scandal that Biden's mental
decline was covered up by Jake Tappler.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Hey guys, it's so true. He's saying the meme, but
it's still true. It's true, And Jake Tapper did not
cover this congressional hearing yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
What how does Jake Tapper, the hero.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Of the Joe Biden mental acuity scandal, not cover the
Senate hearing about the very topic he wrote a whole
book about.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
This could have been the beginning of his sequel to
the first book.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Some people might think that he didn't even write that book,
that it was just a ghostwriting expedition in which somebody
else put together this whole pr stunt to try to
make him look better for spending four years covering up
a news story. But we know that's not true.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And so far, the only people to actually spend money
on the Jake Tapper book Jake's family, his political action committee,
and the publisher of the book. They went ahead and
bought a bunch so they can tell you that sales
are through the roof. Remember how they do it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Remember when that non government organization down at the border,
the NGO was handing out copies of Kamala's book to people.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It was great and people were using it to wipe
the sweat off their brow.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Right after Joe took office, there were all these executive
orders to give money to non government organizations like Catholic
charity groups that which weren't really that Catholic at all.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It was just a stunt to cover up what they
were really doing.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And at the time, these nonprofit groups were handing out
copies of Kamala's books along with juice boxes and lunchables
and snack mix or whatever to the illegals as they
walked over the border, and we didn't realize that money
actually came from us. We bought those books, that we
were the ones funding those NGOs. Yeah, at the time
we said, well, at least it's not government money paying
(05:42):
for it. And it turns out it probably was. Money
is fungible, as you know, and we were funding the
groups and they were giving out the books. So I
guess you could that's one way of looking dry your
own conclusion that one they're like a dog chase at
a table. Hey, let me ask you a question, mister. Oh,
you're a black man, still right, that's the question, do
you think. Yeah, that's the first of two questions. Oh,
(06:03):
let me ask you two questions, Okay, do you think
it's harder to be a black man in America or
an Iranian in Iran?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Obviously is the most tremendous effort you could ever put
in to just try and to be black and live
both black and try to live in this America of today.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, what be Goldberg who has sixty million dollars and
is a famous TV star?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Isn't this hilarious?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Made that very point yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It is it's tougher to be black in America than
it is to be what a woman or just anybody
in Iran or.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What a woman in Iran?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Woman?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
She said, being a black person in America is worse
than being a woman in Iran.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Listen to her, expecially, I tried it. Has she ever
what has she ever been a woman in Iran?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'd say, give her six months of being a woman
in Iran and if she still feels that way, then
we applaud her efforts for, you know, living both sides.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But that's an interesting experiment. Ship her out here, listen
to this and.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
It's slow, but let's just remember too, the Iranians literally
throw gay people off of buildings.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They don't assure the basic human.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Listen, here's the thing. Let's let's not do that.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Let's not do that, because if we start with that,
we we have been known in this country to tie
gay folks to the car.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Why but where do you ran this day?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You get what she just said.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I know something bad is happening this week, but something similar.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Happened to it one hundred years ago. And it's the
same thing, but but worse for me.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You're just black people, so it is not even the same.
I couldn't step No, No, that's not what you mean
to say. It is the same.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
No, it's not the year twenty twenty five. The United
States is nothing like if I stepped foot wearing.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
This young from you know how I can prove what
he is wrong about?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
This?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
What b Goldberg is saying this on TV? Do you
think she could say this and Iran on TV?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
If what be Goldberg said the thing she's saying right
now on television in Iran about what what's fair and
what's not fair, she would be punished by the government.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But one good thing you got to say about Iranian
TV though, I mean, they would have put a hood
over her head before she got on camera.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I would have been okay with that. Yeah, they need
to think about that over at ABC. You know that
reminds me of something.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Whoopee.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Goldberg recently explained how she has not worn a bra
in over thirty years. So keep bringing that up and
just like that, men, you no longer need to think
about baseball. In order to delay, give the world a
black Santa clause.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Let the people have an African American come down the chimney,
very joy and Goodwill Walton and Johnson Radio Network. Rayman
thought I heard of herrot keeping her something. I didn't
hear it.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
No, No, you must be hearingsbe it's your hearing aid
turned up a little too hot yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But I don't have no hearing aid.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, hey on, let me look. No, he's right, he doesn't.
No real quick, and I don't want to discuss this
at all.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But I think the.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
People that did keep up with it would like to know,
if they haven't heard already, that Karen Reid trial is over.
I guess it's like completely over. She was acquitted. It
means not guilty of murdering her policeman boyfriend. So two questions.
And I didn't keep up with the trial barely know
(09:29):
anything about it, but I know a lot of people
were into it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
If she didn't, then who did? Okay. So, for those that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Haven't been following the whole thing with the Karen Reid
trial lately, Karen Reid is this forty five year old woman.
She was accused of killing her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is
a Boston cop. His name's John O'Keeffe. That's about as
Boston as it gets, John o'keeff. The guy's name's John O'Keefe.
I'm just saying Boston. This all happened in January twenty
twenty two. The prosecutors claim Karen hit her boyfriend with
(09:57):
her SUV after drinking alcohol and left him to die
in a snowstorm.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And the jury just said she didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The police claim that she's guilty. The defense claims she's innocent.
They claimed the police covered it up. O'Keefe was beaten
inside a house and left outside. They claim, now here's
the key evidence. Read's damaged tail light was part of it.
Her statements like I hit him, his injuries. Crash tests
showed the tailgate light tail light damage doesn't match O'Keefe's injuries,
(10:29):
suggest a beating exactly. So they had the first trial
was a mistrial by hung jury. I mean this jury
was hung.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
How what kind of jury? Hung jury? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Okay man on Juneteenth? That really means something. So they
had a second trial that just ended and she was
acquitted of murder and manslaughter. She was convicted of a
lesser dui charge and got one year probation. But let's
face it, it's already done and over with. Yeah, exactly,
So the case has sparks of public interest. Do the
police cover up allegations, the emotional story, the media coverage?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Here's my question.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
If she has acquitted now, that would mean that the
police cover up probably took place. So is there now
going to be an investigation into that? Well, those people
who did it? Who did kill him?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
One of his own? Oh no, I read that in
a book once.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You know, you get those those books about police detectives,
and sometimes you know who's the bad guy? Who's the
bad guy the police? You don't say, but not always,
And we here to support the police. Nobody hates a
crooked cop worse than a regular cop, like a good cop.
That reminds me, what were we going to hear something
about Leticia James earlier this morning.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, whatever happened with that?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Oh yeah, I meant to tell you about that, but
then you distracted me with something. You start talking about
soul food or whatever. So the Attorney General of New York,
New York, Letitia said, and now attorney general used to
be they changed the job description.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I guess it used to be crime fighter. Huh.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But now she said, she wants to open up a
massive investigation into the New York Police. Why the New
York Police law enforcement leo's, if you will, because some
of them might be helping Trump track down criminals.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Wait, that's a problem. Yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Supposed head of crime fighting in New York, New York
is upset that cops might be helping the president of
the United States find criminals and punish them.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
See. I guess I'm sort of confused. I thought that
was the whole point of having cops.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And a very very confused. Does she not know what
job she ran for?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
She is probably a great example of a failed affirmative
action higher.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
This woman is a political hack, y'all know? Is June
t right? Oh? It is? He's right.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Oh, in that case, she's very qualified and We're grateful
for their services.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Lovely woman. Yeah, she invited any cocktail party.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
She's kind of a phony though. She's not a civil
rights leader, she's not a black preacher. She's just pretending
since she is feeling the heat under an FBI investigation.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Oh, somebody investigated her, So now she goes to investigate somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Right here she is last month.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
And you want me to sit in my seat and
stand idly by and allow this craziness to happen. You
could come after me if you want. But you elected
me to stand up. You elected me to use the law.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You elected me to go to court.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
You elected me to continue to challenge this administration. You
elected me to stand up for the least of God's children.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Fighting and I will see what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Just a pleasant personality, fun at any cocktail party.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
But as she was giving that speech, Al Sharpton was
standing right behind her.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh that is shocking. You know, it's hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You know that the two there was probably a little
space left for Sheila Jackson Lee too, because she would
have been over that other shoulder.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You can't if she could have I can't help.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
But wonder what she would have said if she was
here today on Juneteenth, the most important day that ever
existed in the history of anything.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Oh good, you know what I would love to find out.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I have a Yesterday I got into a little spat
with a local white liberal Democrat politician on X and
some lady named Sarah McGee, very white, and she said
she's going to convert all the Republicans. She said, she's
an ex Republican. She's going to make all the Republicans
because of Democrats. Yes, sir, and I had a little
back and forth, and I will tell you she sort
of impressed me with something. I invited her to come
(14:30):
be a guest on my afternoon show, and she took
the invitations, going to join me next Tuesday, and she
said one of.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The things, but you'll see her next Tuesday. She's kind
of said, yeah, I will.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yes, Okay, could you just say that.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
One more time?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
No, okay, She'll actually be sitting in one of these
chairs in this room while I do my afternoon show,
and people.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Be sure, you let me know which one. I don't
want to sit in a conversion chair later. I get that, No,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's a fair point, and as often as the case
when I have in studio guests, I will stream it
live on the internet so people can watch my ex
account or the Walton Johnson Facebook.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
For er X.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Run your account. It's called X because it's a social
media platform. Oh, not your ex, it's just your account.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Ya.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Elon has some obsession with that letter.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
No kind of startled me for a minute, and you
were even you know, like communication.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
But the reason I brought this up was because she
wants to talk to me about school vouchers. She says,
Republicans really don't want school choice.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
We don't know. We don't. I mean we do.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Actually, why she said we don't because she thinks you don't.
She knows what we won't better than look we know.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
But on June teenth, of all days, I think it's
an important time to remind people that the school choice
movement has been historically very popular with Democrats, Black Democrats.
H Yeah, fifteen years ago, black Democrats like Sheila Jackson, Lee,
Sylvester Turner, a lot of these, all Sharpton, a lot
of these prominent black Democrats were advocates for school choice.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Is this is so confusing?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
They wanted it? Why does white woman. They she got
them milevolf.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Now, well, it turns out the teachers unions got involved
people like this Randy Winegardien. Woman Randy Winegardien is also interesting.
One of the biggest opponents of the school choice movement
is all over the news this week, not because of
school choice, but because the same woman that we've been
talking about for the past few years, because of locking
down the schools and school choice and all that, has
(16:19):
just stepped down as one of the heads of the DNC.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, we gon convert her and get her back.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No, no, that's not why I brought this up. Oh
did anybody in this room know that that woman was
one of the heads of the DNC the whole time
that wish she wasn't the whole time that controversy was
going on with closing the schools during the pandemic. That
wasn't once mentioned in the CNN or the It's just amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I don't think we're allowed to talk about it now.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Come on, we have to treat everybody the same, whether
they're Asian or black or regular.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network
Today is Juneteenth, which, as you know, celebrates.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The day before June twentieth.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
No, no, it's it celebrates the end of slavery of spring,
but it's mostly known as being the holiday with the
most awkward line of Hallmark cards.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh, that's that's as tricky as it is.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I mean, how do you give a Juneteenth card to someone?
And or do you?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Or do you not? Don't?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's some to win Happy Juneteenth. Glad you're not a slave.
That's a weird thing to put on a car.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Maybe go a different direction. What else you got, now,
let's throw some against the walls.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
He wills to do.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I mean, if you just explain what it is on
the card, it's like, why is this on a card?
It's almost kind of offensive, you know. And if you
don't buy the card, aren't you a racist?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I mean, you're a racist. If you buy it, you're It's.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Like, why don't we just say it's the last day
of spring and just just enjoy that because summer starts
tomorrow in the Northern hemisphere of course obviously.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
That's where we are, and Prime Days coming up in
four days as well. Prime Day kind of like Black Friday,
except you're saying prime it's no Prime Day on Amazon?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
What's this whole month's been about.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
If it hadn't been about Pride, you gotta fly rainbow
flags and do all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, there is no Pride Day.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's Pride Year, well month, but yeah month, Like, I
like your your idea.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Why are you so homophobic? That's what is going on.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Amazon is expanding its Prime Day event to four days.
Prime Day is kind of like Black Friday, except without
all the riots.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, and the stampedings and the tramplings, and frankly, it
would it really be the day after Thanksgiving if you
didn't get stabbed at least a little.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
But even if it's just with a high heel.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
But today is June teenth. Today's the day that you
go to the barber because he's like your therapist, your philosopher,
and a conspiracy theorist all in one.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You sure, hope. So I like going to the black barber.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But whenever I walk in there and they always look
confused to see me a bit, you know, but I'm
happy to see them.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I just like being a party something, you know. I
know it's important. You're kind of trying to feed in everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And you could come hang out with us this weekend
as we'll be celebrating mister Roh's birthday, my birthday, and
Juneteenth all day long on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And Pride Year.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, it's gonna be a big celebration in Acadiana. We're
gonna be at Billy's boot Ann in the morning at eleven,
We're gonna be at Pizza on Johnston at five, and
then at night we're gonna be at some steakhouse called
Michaels from eight to ten pmmc. Yeah, michael Men's Club,
Michael's the whole thing. Michael's pilates for Men's Quad.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's that's kind of it. Yeah, it's gonna be a
lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We're gonna be doing pilates, which, as you know, is
kind of like doing keegels. But when you're a man
and then weird they don't have keegels for men.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You could still do the exercise. You know, you still
have the same general area that you need to keep fit.
I don't think that the undercarriage, as they say, I
don't think that's true. I don't think you know, there's
some different parts in there, but it depends on how
you identify.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
If you identify as a woman, then you can keegel
all day long. Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In that case, So they had this hearing yesterday and
apparently Joe Biden is not a smart man, and so
none of the Democrats showed up to it, and Ted
Cruz went scorched earth on these guys.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
A single Democrat is here today because not a single
one of them gives a damn about the fact that
they lied to the American people for four years. They knew,
every one of them knew that Joe Biden was mentally
not competent to do the job. The White House Press secretary,
she knew when she stood in front of the American
(03:29):
people and lied over and over and over again. And
they're not here because they can't defend themselves. It wasn't
a surprise. For four years, the White House hid President
Biden from Republican Senators, would.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Not let him meet with us.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
He served forty years in this body.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
We all know him, and.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
They deliberately lied. And by the way, Jake Tapper had
a bombshell book exposing the incredible scandal that Biden's mental
decline was covered up by Jake Tappler.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Hey guys, it's so true. He's saying the meme, but
it's still true. It's true, And Jake Tapper did not
cover this congressional hearing yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
What how does Jake Tapper, the hero.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Of the Joe Biden mental acuity scandal, not cover the
Senate hearing about the very topic he wrote a whole
book about.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
This could have been the beginning of his sequel to
the first book.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Some people might think that he didn't even write that book,
that it was just a ghostwriting expedition in which somebody
else put together this whole pr stunt to try to
make him look better for spending four years covering up
a news story. But we know that's not true.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And so far, the only people to actually spend money
on the Jake Tapper book Jake's family, his political action committee,
and the publisher of the book. They went ahead and
bought a bunch so they can tell you that sales
are through the roof. Remember how they do it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Remember when that non government organization down at the border,
the NGO was handing out copies of Kamala's book to people.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It was great and people were using it to wipe
the sweat off their brow.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Right after Joe took office, there were all these executive
orders to give money to non government organizations like Catholic
charity groups that which weren't really that Catholic at all.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It was just a stunt to cover up what they
were really doing.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And at the time, these nonprofit groups were handing out
copies of Kamala's books along with juice boxes and lunchables
and snack mix or whatever to the illegals as they
walked over the border, and we didn't realize that money
actually came from us. We bought those books, that we
were the ones funding those NGOs. Yeah, at the time
we said, well, at least it's not government money paying
(05:42):
for it. And it turns out it probably was. Money
is fungible, as you know, and we were funding the
groups and they were giving out the books. So I
guess you could that's one way of looking dry your
own conclusion that one they're like a dog chase at
a table. Hey, let me ask you a question, mister. Oh,
you're a black man, still right, that's the question, do
you think. Yeah, that's the first of two questions. Oh,
(06:03):
let me ask you two questions, Okay, do you think
it's harder to be a black man in America or
an Iranian in Iran?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Obviously is the most tremendous effort you could ever put
in to just try and to be black and live
both black and try to live in this America of today.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, what be Goldberg who has sixty million dollars and
is a famous TV star?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Isn't this hilarious?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Made that very point yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It is it's tougher to be black in America than
it is to be what a woman or just anybody
in Iran or.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What a woman in Iran?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Woman?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
She said, being a black person in America is worse
than being a woman in Iran.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Listen to her, expecially, I tried it. Has she ever
what has she ever been a woman in Iran?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'd say, give her six months of being a woman
in Iran and if she still feels that way, then
we applaud her efforts for, you know, living both sides.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But that's an interesting experiment. Ship her out here, listen
to this and.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
It's slow, but let's just remember too, the Iranians literally
throw gay people off of buildings.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
They don't assure the basic human.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Listen, here's the thing. Let's let's not do that.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Let's not do that, because if we start with that,
we we have been known in this country to tie
gay folks to the car.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Why but where do you ran this day?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You get what she just said.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I know something bad is happening this week, but something similar.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Happened to it one hundred years ago. And it's the
same thing, but but worse for me.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You're just black people, so it is not even the same.
I couldn't step No, No, that's not what you mean
to say. It is the same.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
No, it's not the year twenty twenty five. The United
States is nothing like if I stepped foot wearing.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
This young from you know how I can prove what
he is wrong about?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
This?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
What b Goldberg is saying this on TV? Do you
think she could say this and Iran on TV?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
If what be Goldberg said the thing she's saying right
now on television in Iran about what what's fair and
what's not fair, she would be punished by the government.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But one good thing you got to say about Iranian
TV though, I mean, they would have put a hood
over her head before she got on camera.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I would have been okay with that. Yeah, they need
to think about that over at ABC. You know that
reminds me of something.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Whoopee.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Goldberg recently explained how she has not worn a bra
in over thirty years. So keep bringing that up and
just like that, men, you no longer need to think
about baseball. In order to delay, give the world a
black Santa clause.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Let the people have an African American come down the chimney,
very joy and Goodwill Walton and Johnson Radio Network. Rayman
thought I heard of herrot keeping her something. I didn't
hear it.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
No, No, you must be hearingsbe it's your hearing aid
turned up a little too hot yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But I don't have no hearing aid.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, hey on, let me look. No, he's right, he doesn't.
No real quick, and I don't want to discuss this
at all.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But I think the.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
People that did keep up with it would like to know,
if they haven't heard already, that Karen Reid trial is over.
I guess it's like completely over. She was acquitted. It
means not guilty of murdering her policeman boyfriend. So two questions.
And I didn't keep up with the trial barely know
(09:29):
anything about it, but I know a lot of people
were into it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
If she didn't, then who did? Okay. So, for those that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Haven't been following the whole thing with the Karen Reid
trial lately, Karen Reid is this forty five year old woman.
She was accused of killing her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is
a Boston cop. His name's John O'Keeffe. That's about as
Boston as it gets, John o'keeff. The guy's name's John O'Keefe.
I'm just saying Boston. This all happened in January twenty
twenty two. The prosecutors claim Karen hit her boyfriend with
(09:57):
her SUV after drinking alcohol and left him to die
in a snowstorm.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And the jury just said she didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
The police claim that she's guilty. The defense claims she's innocent.
They claimed the police covered it up. O'Keefe was beaten
inside a house and left outside. They claim, now here's
the key evidence. Read's damaged tail light was part of it.
Her statements like I hit him, his injuries. Crash tests
showed the tailgate light tail light damage doesn't match O'Keefe's injuries,
(10:29):
suggest a beating exactly. So they had the first trial
was a mistrial by hung jury. I mean this jury
was hung.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
How what kind of jury? Hung jury? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Okay man on Juneteenth? That really means something. So they
had a second trial that just ended and she was
acquitted of murder and manslaughter. She was convicted of a
lesser dui charge and got one year probation. But let's
face it, it's already done and over with. Yeah, exactly,
So the case has sparks of public interest. Do the
police cover up allegations, the emotional story, the media coverage?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Here's my question.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
If she has acquitted now, that would mean that the
police cover up probably took place. So is there now
going to be an investigation into that? Well, those people
who did it? Who did kill him?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
One of his own? Oh no, I read that in
a book once.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You know, you get those those books about police detectives,
and sometimes you know who's the bad guy? Who's the
bad guy the police? You don't say, but not always,
And we here to support the police. Nobody hates a
crooked cop worse than a regular cop, like a good cop.
That reminds me, what were we going to hear something
about Leticia James earlier this morning.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, whatever happened with that?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Oh yeah, I meant to tell you about that, but
then you distracted me with something. You start talking about
soul food or whatever. So the Attorney General of New York,
New York, Letitia said, and now attorney general used to
be they changed the job description.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I guess it used to be crime fighter. Huh.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But now she said, she wants to open up a
massive investigation into the New York Police. Why the New
York Police law enforcement leo's, if you will, because some
of them might be helping Trump track down criminals.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Wait, that's a problem. Yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Supposed head of crime fighting in New York, New York
is upset that cops might be helping the president of
the United States find criminals and punish them.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
See. I guess I'm sort of confused. I thought that
was the whole point of having cops.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And a very very confused. Does she not know what
job she ran for?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
She is probably a great example of a failed affirmative
action higher.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
This woman is a political hack, y'all know? Is June
t right? Oh? It is? He's right.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Oh, in that case, she's very qualified and We're grateful
for their services.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Lovely woman. Yeah, she invited any cocktail party.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
She's kind of a phony though. She's not a civil
rights leader, she's not a black preacher. She's just pretending
since she is feeling the heat under an FBI investigation.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Oh, somebody investigated her, So now she goes to investigate somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Right here she is last month.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
And you want me to sit in my seat and
stand idly by and allow this craziness to happen. You
could come after me if you want. But you elected
me to stand up. You elected me to use the law.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You elected me to go to court.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
You elected me to continue to challenge this administration. You
elected me to stand up for the least of God's children.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Fighting and I will see what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Just a pleasant personality, fun at any cocktail party.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
But as she was giving that speech, Al Sharpton was
standing right behind her.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh that is shocking. You know, it's hard to believe.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You know that the two there was probably a little
space left for Sheila Jackson Lee too, because she would
have been over that other shoulder.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You can't if she could have I can't help.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
But wonder what she would have said if she was
here today on Juneteenth, the most important day that ever
existed in the history of anything.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Oh good, you know what I would love to find out.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I have a Yesterday I got into a little spat
with a local white liberal Democrat politician on X and
some lady named Sarah McGee, very white, and she said
she's going to convert all the Republicans. She said, she's
an ex Republican. She's going to make all the Republicans
because of Democrats. Yes, sir, and I had a little
back and forth, and I will tell you she sort
of impressed me with something. I invited her to come
(14:30):
be a guest on my afternoon show, and she took
the invitations, going to join me next Tuesday, and she
said one of.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The things, but you'll see her next Tuesday. She's kind
of said, yeah, I will.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yes, Okay, could you just say that.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
One more time?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
No, okay, She'll actually be sitting in one of these
chairs in this room while I do my afternoon show,
and people.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Be sure, you let me know which one. I don't
want to sit in a conversion chair later. I get that, No,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's a fair point, and as often as the case
when I have in studio guests, I will stream it
live on the internet so people can watch my ex
account or the Walton Johnson Facebook.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
For er X.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Run your account. It's called X because it's a social
media platform. Oh, not your ex, it's just your account.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Ya.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Elon has some obsession with that letter.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
No kind of startled me for a minute, and you
were even you know, like communication.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
But the reason I brought this up was because she
wants to talk to me about school vouchers. She says,
Republicans really don't want school choice.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
We don't know. We don't. I mean we do.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Actually, why she said we don't because she thinks you don't.
She knows what we won't better than look we know.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
But on June teenth, of all days, I think it's
an important time to remind people that the school choice
movement has been historically very popular with Democrats, Black Democrats.
H Yeah, fifteen years ago, black Democrats like Sheila Jackson, Lee,
Sylvester Turner, a lot of these, all Sharpton, a lot
of these prominent black Democrats were advocates for school choice.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Is this is so confusing?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
They wanted it? Why does white woman. They she got
them milevolf.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Now, well, it turns out the teachers unions got involved
people like this Randy Winegardien. Woman Randy Winegardien is also interesting.
One of the biggest opponents of the school choice movement
is all over the news this week, not because of
school choice, but because the same woman that we've been
talking about for the past few years, because of locking
down the schools and school choice and all that, has
(16:19):
just stepped down as one of the heads of the DNC.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, we gon convert her and get her back.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No, no, that's not why I brought this up. Oh
did anybody in this room know that that woman was
one of the heads of the DNC the whole time
that wish she wasn't the whole time that controversy was
going on with closing the schools during the pandemic. That
wasn't once mentioned in the CNN or the It's just amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I don't think we're allowed to talk about it now.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Come on, we have to treat everybody the same, whether
they're Asian or black or regular.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
