Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do something.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Well, it's Lucille Ball day, Billy, I'd celebrated today, according
to my ex account.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
That's so impressed that you guys knew that.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, I was about to.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Come in here and tell you that, and now here
it is you. You already played the fanfare and everything.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's a little confusing because it almost seems as though
if you look online, there's more than one Lucille Ball Day,
two in August, one in October, that today's her birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, anyway, happy birthday Lucille Ball. Of course it's not,
you know, happy for her. She's not here. But if
she was, would she be happy at one hundred and fourteen,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I bet she'd be a Trump Well, I don't know.
Actually she did marry an emigrant.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
There's no way to know for sure.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
First woman to run a major TV studio.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Cubans seemed to like Trump pretty good. You're right, Cubans
do like Republicans.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
First pregnant woman on TV let us show that broke barriers,
revolutionized TV. Five Emmy wins, two stars on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. It's two more than what we've got.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
That is true so far, they're ruling out a star.
Apparently we can buy one if we wanted to. Oh sure,
they all coming at a cost, by the way, And
this is always kind of amazed me. But if it's
Jean Benet Ramsey's birthday as well, the late Jean Benet Ramsey,
(01:17):
if you remember that story, then you're pretty old.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
John Mine Ramsey. Well, there was an update to it
years later. There was a guy who confessed to killing her,
so they arrested him.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He seemed crazy and maybe didn't. Yeah to me, the
timeline is interesting. If you recall that story from back
when it originally happened, she would have been thirty five
years old today. I mean you just think, you say,
Jean Bannet Ramsey, you see this little six year old
kid and beauty pageant, you know, but that's the last
(01:48):
memory you have of her.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
She was born in nineteen ninety, so yeah, and that's
interesting to think. What would her life have been like?
Would she have been a celebrity as an adult? I
gotta think if Tupac Shakur as a lot live today,
he'd be a Republican and he'd be the governor of California. Okay,
there's a Tupac would have been MAGA for sure. Now
there's people that would argue that with you. But what
(02:10):
will be the point. I mean, I say things like
that that can't be proven because I want them to argue.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
With Yeah, but what will be the point? Oh No,
that would never happen. We'll get it's not going to happen.
He's dead. Now what you're skipping over is kind of
the bigger picture here. It is National root Beer Float Day,
so that's something you can actually get into. Lucille Ball's gone.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
What's this?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
What's this fellow you brought up here? Yeah, that guy,
he's gone. Jean Benet Ramsey's gone. But you can get
you a root beer float. Why why is it root
beer Float Day? Because just kind of don't make this
stuff up. I'm just telling you what they said. It
is root beer Float Day. No, you're right, he's crist
I've got the hit the day somebody invented it, you know,
I mean, we know who invented the the ice cream Sunday.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I've got it. It's celebrated on August fifth, six to
commemorate the hill history of the legacy of Marriott's humble
beginnings with a rootier stand Marriott International, according to their website,
and and W. Routier Restaurants are responsible for the root
Pier float okay, and they say they still celebrated today
to raise money for our children's charities and disabled American veterans.
(03:18):
Marriott International founder Jay Willard and Alice S. Marriott started
a nine seat A and W Rootier stand in Washington,
DC in the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I see, now you've ruined root beer float Day. Why
too much? It's just too much information? See I was
just a rough beer float. Nay, go go that's fun,
just go have fun with it. But now it's turned
into school. I couldn't wait to get out of school.
To be honest with.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You, I'm very gay for history, Billy.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You know, why wouldn't you want to learn this thing? Hey?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I like it?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
One if one thing, you'll remember it. Next year you'll
do this all over again. Well next year twenty twenty six,
well go, that's rudber Float Day. You won't have a
memory one of today and you'll go through all this again.
So are you really learning it? Or are you just
spouting off?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I feel like I would remember, you know, spouting off?
You remember when we first learned about Japanese Penis Festival,
and now it happens every year.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, and you remember that from year to year, don't you.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well. I mean it's just stuff like that. I wouldn't
know about it if not for some weird news story
years ago, and now every year in my calendar on
my Google calendar, I have it remind me because I
want to talk about it on the radio. My calendar,
my digital calendar, is filled with stupid landmark events that
are only there because I do this for a living.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
True, and you have to suffer. You have to pay
the price for that.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I did notice, though, there's sort of a new class
warfare of sorts, because you notice how I said google something.
But people in my generation are not googling things. Oh,
they're going out of the way to avoid Google. We're
using artificial intelligence. I was talking about this yesterday. I
was using your left hand. Huh whooah, what do you
mean using your left head? That went right over my head?
(04:55):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh, it's another big anniversary today, by the way, No, I.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Was talking about class warfare. But what's the univer what's
the anniversary?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You ever heard of? A hero Shima, Japan yeah, I
guess why have you heard of it?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, I guess these Japanese people are mad that a
long time ago we retaliated against them after they attacked
one of our military bases.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, we did a lot of stuff, but this particular
day in history, eighty years ago. You people like to
celebrate anniversaries in in a five and a zero. I
don't know if they celebrated or not, but I'm guessing
they're probably doing something over there in hero Shima today,
marking eighty years the first atomic bomb in history was
(05:42):
used on a populated area in wartime. Dunk dunk, duh,
and the stubborn ash Japanese even after we blew up
an entire city with one bomb and killed seventy one
hundred thousand people, they're like, no, we're not quitting.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Here is one of the reasons why. And this will
go over your head, but don't feel bad. It's one
of the reasons why Libertarians never elect an official. Huh,
thank you there. I've attended Libertarian party meetings before, and
it's like a book club. You know, how Republicans and
Democrats get together and talk about how to get people elected.
If you go to a Libertarian Party. They have arguments
(06:20):
over whether or not it was ethical to drop a
nuclear bomb on Japan, and then they'll have arguments over
whether or not we should even have driver's licenses. And
none of this stuff solves anyone's problems, but it makes
them feel smart.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's the people that want to argue with you. Bet
the TUPAC was going to be the governor California. Yeah,
you're right, I'll never know, but they'll still fight you
for it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's the thing. Though, I'm not a political strategist. I'm
happy to argue about stupid stuff, but then I do
this for a living.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The reason they said that dropping the bomb made sense
if you look at it from one perspective, is because
if we had actually had to go and invade the
island of Japan, right, you still have much trouble we
had with just those those little islands out there in
the Pacific, kind of working our way up to Japan.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, the little Dingleberry islands, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well, I don't remember the names of them, but there
was you know, the one where they raised the flag,
and it was the one that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Was like an Ewajima, And.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
There was a one that was a canal, some kind
of a canal.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh the river Kwai?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Was that a thing?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah? Yeah, that's a good one too.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So yeah, apparently that the death toll would have been
so high on both sides. Really if we'd actually evaded
the country that they said this would actually be better.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I am very much pro nuclear bomb, and I feel
like I can anytime anyone makes that dumb argument, well,
we shouldn't have dropped a bomb on Japan, I feel
like you can end the conversation this way. If somebody
walks up to a bully and they take a swing
at him unprovoked for no reason, and then the bully
turns around and they knocked that person on the ground,
busting the person's teeth open and breaking their nose, would
(07:56):
you blame the bully for I mean, okay, maybe it's
not even right to call the guy a bully. If
a larger person is violently attacked, right, Yeah, If a
big guy is violently attacked by a small guy and
then the big guy retaliates, you can't really blame the
big guy because he's just retaliating. It's not likely as
if he went out and bullied the person. I feel
like it took me a second there to get to
(08:17):
the analogy. We feel your pain. Yeah, anyway, My point is,
don't swing at a bully if you don't want to
get hit. Anyway, Coming up the Manhunt news, we're going
on to mister Kenneth. You're gonna love this. We're doing
a manhunt Manhunt laft sight Wait what no, no, no,
Walton and Johnson Radio Network flashback. Everybody's focused right now
(08:39):
on these Texas Democrats that are up in Chicago hanging
out at the Holiday and Express and enjoying a free
breakfast buffet every morning that includes granola.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Do you think Pittzker comes gets that free buffet? Gotta
be all, hell, yeah, you're It's not the buffet that
bothers me. It's the people.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
There's a lot of shots like why don't you guys
put some shoes on before you come down here?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Everything is sticky at those hotel buffets.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Because I'll eat the food. I just don't want you ill.
I don't want to sit there with someone's kid while
he's picking his nose. Gross and two kids. Ever heard
of toothpaste? Anyway? So they're all doing that. But but
before that last week, when the rumors first started to
circulate that this was all going to happen. A guy
named Isaiah Martin, a previous staff member of Shila Jackson Lee.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh okay, so he's he's got the creed, he's got
that street.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Cred, showed up at the Texas Legislature to protest against
the Republicans' efforts to redraw the state congressional map. He's
not a lawmaker. Isaiah Martin got arrested forcibly removed from
the House committee hearing on redistricting after going over his
designated time to testify. So he's allowed to be there,
(09:56):
but he wasn't supposed to keep talking. He gets removed
forcibly removed. People Magazine does a story on what a
hero this guy is and how.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Great he actually gave him more crid. Right, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
He goes to jail, gets out.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know if you guys remember this, but before
that happened? Was it two years ago? Twenty twenty three?
Who didn't love hearing the leaked audio recording the Current
Revolt dot Com published of Shila Jackson Lee berating her
staff members.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Oh yeah, she was quite the prize when it comes
to balses her staff voted every year I believe to
worst bolls in Congress.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So Isaiah Martin, a guy who used to work for
Shila Jackson Lee and what was arguably put aside politics
for a minute, arguably the most toxic work environment in Washington,
d C, now wants to replace her. He feels that
that's the first thing on his resume. I worked for
Shila Jackson Lee. I should take her job. Yeah yeah,
but you worked for an abusive, arrogant mom, and that
(11:00):
was how you learned to do the job. I would
think we would not want that kind of culture in Washington, DC.
But he doesn't see it that way. So he carrius
what he's been up to lately. Yesterday, he posted this
video to social media to tell us what happened to
him last week after he got arrested.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So you may remember last week Republicans threw me in jail.
But when I was in jail, I actually did a
town hall for the inmates, and one of the things
they were mad at was the cost of childcare.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What but I'm sorry, what is that where you thought
that was gonna go? No, the inmates are concerned about
the cost of chalka. What I don't just I can't
even wear.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It almost makes you wonder did they have him in
the women's section of the jail or because I look,
as you guys know, I am no boy scout. I have,
believe it or not, Billy Ed and mister Kenneth, I
have been in a holding cell before, a younger version
of myself, back into my twenties, my teenage years, I
used to get into trouble once in a while. Did
you brag about that to your I mean, I'm I
(12:01):
don't know if I'm bragging about it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I mean, he seems to be pretty proud of the
fact that, yeah, they rest me and they put me
in jail, sola blah blah, and it's like, oh, I'm
pretty proud of it. You. As a kid, I could
see how you might be bragging to your buddies about it,
But as a grown man in a suit with a
real job of some kind, it doesn't seem appropriate, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
No, you're right, I'm a professional troll on a morning
radio show. I agree with you. It's fine moonlighted stand
up comedy clubs, but I'm not so much bragging about
it as I am owning it. And I only bring
it up to make this point. When I was in jail,
When I was in the holding cell, I never had
to put on the orange clothes or eat the salami
sandwich or anything. But I bit baloney blog Yeah, whatever
it was. I never had the angel.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That they do up north. They probably you drink pop
with it or something.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, no, they don't give you a popularly. My point
is I was never in there overnight or for a
very long time, but you know, a couple hours, that
sort of thing. But one thing we never talked about
ever in the history of all my experience.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
With the legal system, except a couple hours, was childcare?
Really so shocking?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Believe it or not. The kind of men, whatever racial
or ethnic background they might have that you meet in
a jail cell in a place like Harris County or
Cook County, Chicago, really generally do not seem to be
too concerned about what their children are up to.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, I wouldn't think that's the first thirty or eighty
topics that might come up.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Remember, this guy isn't he's not like in prison. He
was in a holding cell in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Removed him from the floor and I probably put him
in a broom closet or something.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
So when this guy says to you, I just want
to rewind that ten seconds there.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So they may remember last week Republicans threw me in jail.
But when I was in jail, I actually did a
town hall for the inmates, and one of the things
they were mad at was the cost of childcare.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That just still just tracks me up.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
By the way, here's what you can't see because we're
on the radio in this video. To get to the
end of that one sentence, he there's at least five
ated it's there where he's in seven different places, and
in every one of them he's wearing, uh, no socks, which,
mister kindeth, where do we stand on that the dress
suit with no socks?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Where Actually I'm okay with that, Okay, I think it's
kind of good. Look, I just don't know why he's
dressed like that. In August.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
If some of you guys think this guy's an idiot,
I might remind you of this recording that you took
a piece of favorite from that woman regarding something at
least go by don'dtail. Where is it?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What big work helping all from you?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I want to put where I took it up, so
I'll have to call and pick it up.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
When I sorted out to I don't want to do
a damn same, I want you to have a.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Strange I want to get rich.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Want was such a such strains, that's what I want,
And that's the kind of damn that I want to have.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So some stupid other mothers did it, and I don't
have the information.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Nobody's give me the information I need to ensure my
experience schedule.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
All right, just just we're not going to make you
listen to the whole ninety second recording here. But Shila
Jackson Lee referred to her own employees as f ups idiots,
two gd big ass children. They had no effing brain,
fat ass stupid idiots. I just and this was and
this guy was one of them.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, and he's claim to fame there.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And now he wants to have her old job. There's
a point. I have mixed feelings on this because on
one hand, obviously, no, you don't want him to be
an elected official as a citizen of America. But considering
that we do this for a living, and we generate
ratings by playing funny soundbites of politicians saying stupid stuff.
Doesn't that guy seem like he would solve the problem
(15:36):
for us?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
When I was going to suggest that, I was thinking,
maybe y'all all to just go ahead and get behind
Isaiah here, maybe give him an endorsement. But people always
clamor for the Walton Johnson radio show of political endorsement,
the clamor for it. Why can't you give it up?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And by the way, I think you just answered my question.
How much is the damn healthcare in prison these days? Well,
child's care? I think child care? How much of the
charging for babysitizen in prison?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I don't think they charge anything, because, as far as
I know, mister Owen, I'm no expert on this. I
don't think you're allowed to bring your kids with you
to jail.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You know, I was think of the same thing, But
I'm not the jail veteran that you guys all seem
to be.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Excuse me, well, I'm no expert either. My brushes with
the law were a long time ago, and I was
only there for you know, a couple hours, a few hours.
That sort of thing felt like all the time, didn't well,
it was annoying. But one thing I did not see
while I was there was a small child. I think
that's probably bad. I didn't come and call. I mean,
face tattoos, guys with stab wounds.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Maybe you didn't see them because the child care is
high quality and they kept them out of running around
out there. You know now that you take care of kids,
you keep them locked up in a room somewhere. You
don't let them run around and bother the adults.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Now that you mentioned it in Illinois, where I do
have a little experience with brushes with the law. That's
where all these Democrats are right now from Texas.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
That's true, and they are acting like children, so maybe
they should be well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
No, I think best for us, No, I think you're
onto something there. What if we uh, what if we
supply them with a childcare facility in the Cook County
jail and then instead of sending their kids there, we'll
just have them live there.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It works for me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, it was a freak show.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
It looked like the canteena bar scene out of Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network
Do something.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Well, it's Lucille Ball day, Billy, I'd celebrated today, according
to my ex account.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
That's so impressed that you guys knew that.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, I was about to.

It's a little confusing because it almost seems as though
if you look online, there's more than one Lucille Ball Day,
two in August, one in October, that today's her birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, anyway, happy birthday Lucille Ball. Of course it's not,
you know, happy for her. She's not here. But if
she was, would she be happy at one hundred and fourteen,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I bet she'd be a Trump Well, I don't know.
Actually she did marry an emigrant.

There's no way to know for sure.

you a root beer float. Why why is it root

is root beer Float Day. No, you're right, he's crist

You remember when we first learned about Japanese Penis Festival,
and now it happens every year.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, and you remember that from year to year, don't you.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well. I mean it's just stuff like that. I wouldn't
know about it if not for some weird news story
years ago, and now every year in my calendar on
my Google calendar, I have it remind me because I
want to talk about it on the radio. My calendar,
my digital calendar, is filled with stupid landmark events that
are only there because I do this for a living.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
True, and you have to suffer. You have to pay
the price for that.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I did notice, though, there's sort of a new class
warfare of sorts, because you notice how I said google something.
But people in my generation are not googling things. Oh,
they're going out of the way to avoid Google. We're
using artificial intelligence. I was talking about this yesterday. I
was using your left hand. Huh whooah, what do you
mean using your left head? That went right over my head?
(04:55):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh, it's another big anniversary today, by the way, No, I.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Was talking about class warfare. But what's the univer what's
the anniversary?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You ever heard of? A hero Shima, Japan yeah, I
guess why have you heard of it?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, I guess these Japanese people are mad that a
long time ago we retaliated against them after they attacked
one of our military bases.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, we did a lot of stuff, but this particular
day in history, eighty years ago. You people like to
celebrate anniversaries in in a five and a zero. I
don't know if they celebrated or not, but I'm guessing
they're probably doing something over there in hero Shima today,
marking eighty years the first atomic bomb in history was
(05:42):
used on a populated area in wartime. Dunk dunk, duh,
and the stubborn ash Japanese even after we blew up
an entire city with one bomb and killed seventy one
hundred thousand people, they're like, no, we're not quitting.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Here is one of the reasons why. And this will
go over your head, but don't feel bad. It's one
of the reasons why Libertarians never elect an official. Huh,
thank you there. I've attended Libertarian party meetings before, and
it's like a book club. You know, how Republicans and
Democrats get together and talk about how to get people elected.
If you go to a Libertarian Party. They have arguments
(06:20):
over whether or not it was ethical to drop a
nuclear bomb on Japan, and then they'll have arguments over
whether or not we should even have driver's licenses. And
none of this stuff solves anyone's problems, but it makes
them feel smart.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's the people that want to argue with you. Bet
the TUPAC was going to be the governor California. Yeah,
you're right, I'll never know, but they'll still fight you
for it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's the thing. Though, I'm not a political strategist. I'm
happy to argue about stupid stuff, but then I do
this for a living.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The reason they said that dropping the bomb made sense
if you look at it from one perspective, is because
if we had actually had to go and invade the
island of Japan, right, you still have much trouble we
had with just those those little islands out there in
the Pacific, kind of working our way up to Japan.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, the little Dingleberry islands, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well, I don't remember the names of them, but there
was you know, the one where they raised the flag,
and it was the one that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Was like an Ewajima, And.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
There was a one that was a canal, some kind
of a canal.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh the river Kwai?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Was that a thing?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah? Yeah, that's a good one too.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So yeah, apparently that the death toll would have been
so high on both sides. Really if we'd actually evaded
the country that they said this would actually be better.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I am very much pro nuclear bomb, and I feel
like I can anytime anyone makes that dumb argument, well,
we shouldn't have dropped a bomb on Japan, I feel
like you can end the conversation this way. If somebody
walks up to a bully and they take a swing
at him unprovoked for no reason, and then the bully
turns around and they knocked that person on the ground,
busting the person's teeth open and breaking their nose, would
(07:56):
you blame the bully for I mean, okay, maybe it's
not even right to call the guy a bully. If
a larger person is violently attacked, right, Yeah, If a
big guy is violently attacked by a small guy and
then the big guy retaliates, you can't really blame the
big guy because he's just retaliating. It's not likely as
if he went out and bullied the person. I feel
like it took me a second there to get to
(08:17):
the analogy. We feel your pain. Yeah, anyway, My point is,
don't swing at a bully if you don't want to
get hit. Anyway, Coming up the Manhunt news, we're going
on to mister Kenneth. You're gonna love this. We're doing
a manhunt Manhunt laft sight Wait what no, no, no,
Walton and Johnson Radio Network flashback. Everybody's focused right now
(08:39):
on these Texas Democrats that are up in Chicago hanging
out at the Holiday and Express and enjoying a free
breakfast buffet every morning that includes granola.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Do you think Pittzker comes gets that free buffet? Gotta
be all, hell, yeah, you're It's not the buffet that
bothers me. It's the people.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
There's a lot of shots like why don't you guys
put some shoes on before you come down here?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Everything is sticky at those hotel buffets.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Because I'll eat the food. I just don't want you ill.
I don't want to sit there with someone's kid while
he's picking his nose. Gross and two kids. Ever heard
of toothpaste? Anyway? So they're all doing that. But but
before that last week, when the rumors first started to
circulate that this was all going to happen. A guy
named Isaiah Martin, a previous staff member of Shila Jackson Lee.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh okay, so he's he's got the creed, he's got
that street.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Cred, showed up at the Texas Legislature to protest against
the Republicans' efforts to redraw the state congressional map. He's
not a lawmaker. Isaiah Martin got arrested forcibly removed from
the House committee hearing on redistricting after going over his
designated time to testify. So he's allowed to be there,
(09:56):
but he wasn't supposed to keep talking. He gets removed
forcibly removed. People Magazine does a story on what a
hero this guy is and how.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Great he actually gave him more crid. Right, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
He goes to jail, gets out.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know if you guys remember this, but before
that happened? Was it two years ago? Twenty twenty three?
Who didn't love hearing the leaked audio recording the Current
Revolt dot Com published of Shila Jackson Lee berating her
staff members.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Oh yeah, she was quite the prize when it comes
to balses her staff voted every year I believe to
worst bolls in Congress.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So Isaiah Martin, a guy who used to work for
Shila Jackson Lee and what was arguably put aside politics
for a minute, arguably the most toxic work environment in Washington,
d C, now wants to replace her. He feels that
that's the first thing on his resume. I worked for
Shila Jackson Lee. I should take her job. Yeah yeah,
but you worked for an abusive, arrogant mom, and that
(11:00):
was how you learned to do the job. I would
think we would not want that kind of culture in Washington, DC.
But he doesn't see it that way. So he carrius
what he's been up to lately. Yesterday, he posted this
video to social media to tell us what happened to
him last week after he got arrested.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So you may remember last week Republicans threw me in jail.
But when I was in jail, I actually did a
town hall for the inmates, and one of the things
they were mad at was the cost of childcare.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What but I'm sorry, what is that where you thought
that was gonna go? No, the inmates are concerned about
the cost of chalka. What I don't just I can't
even wear.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It almost makes you wonder did they have him in
the women's section of the jail or because I look,
as you guys know, I am no boy scout. I have,
believe it or not, Billy Ed and mister Kenneth, I
have been in a holding cell before, a younger version
of myself, back into my twenties, my teenage years, I
used to get into trouble once in a while. Did
you brag about that to your I mean, I'm I
(12:01):
don't know if I'm bragging about it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I mean, he seems to be pretty proud of the
fact that, yeah, they rest me and they put me
in jail, sola blah blah, and it's like, oh, I'm
pretty proud of it. You. As a kid, I could
see how you might be bragging to your buddies about it,
But as a grown man in a suit with a
real job of some kind, it doesn't seem appropriate, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
No, you're right, I'm a professional troll on a morning
radio show. I agree with you. It's fine moonlighted stand
up comedy clubs, but I'm not so much bragging about
it as I am owning it. And I only bring
it up to make this point. When I was in jail,
When I was in the holding cell, I never had
to put on the orange clothes or eat the salami
sandwich or anything. But I bit baloney blog Yeah, whatever
it was. I never had the angel.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That they do up north. They probably you drink pop
with it or something.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, no, they don't give you a popularly. My point
is I was never in there overnight or for a
very long time, but you know, a couple hours, that
sort of thing. But one thing we never talked about
ever in the history of all my experience.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
With the legal system, except a couple hours, was childcare?
Really so shocking?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Believe it or not. The kind of men, whatever racial
or ethnic background they might have that you meet in
a jail cell in a place like Harris County or
Cook County, Chicago, really generally do not seem to be
too concerned about what their children are up to.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, I wouldn't think that's the first thirty or eighty
topics that might come up.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Remember, this guy isn't he's not like in prison. He
was in a holding cell in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Removed him from the floor and I probably put him
in a broom closet or something.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
So when this guy says to you, I just want
to rewind that ten seconds there.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So they may remember last week Republicans threw me in jail.
But when I was in jail, I actually did a
town hall for the inmates, and one of the things
they were mad at was the cost of childcare.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That just still just tracks me up.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
By the way, here's what you can't see because we're
on the radio in this video. To get to the
end of that one sentence, he there's at least five
ated it's there where he's in seven different places, and
in every one of them he's wearing, uh, no socks, which,
mister kindeth, where do we stand on that the dress
suit with no socks?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Where Actually I'm okay with that, Okay, I think it's
kind of good. Look, I just don't know why he's
dressed like that. In August.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
If some of you guys think this guy's an idiot,
I might remind you of this recording that you took
a piece of favorite from that woman regarding something at
least go by don'dtail. Where is it?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What big work helping all from you?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I want to put where I took it up, so
I'll have to call and pick it up.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
When I sorted out to I don't want to do
a damn same, I want you to have a.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Strange I want to get rich.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Want was such a such strains, that's what I want,
And that's the kind of damn that I want to have.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So some stupid other mothers did it, and I don't
have the information.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Nobody's give me the information I need to ensure my
experience schedule.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
All right, just just we're not going to make you
listen to the whole ninety second recording here. But Shila
Jackson Lee referred to her own employees as f ups idiots,
two gd big ass children. They had no effing brain,
fat ass stupid idiots. I just and this was and
this guy was one of them.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, and he's claim to fame there.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And now he wants to have her old job. There's
a point. I have mixed feelings on this because on
one hand, obviously, no, you don't want him to be
an elected official as a citizen of America. But considering
that we do this for a living, and we generate
ratings by playing funny soundbites of politicians saying stupid stuff.
Doesn't that guy seem like he would solve the problem
(15:36):
for us?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
When I was going to suggest that, I was thinking,
maybe y'all all to just go ahead and get behind
Isaiah here, maybe give him an endorsement. But people always
clamor for the Walton Johnson radio show of political endorsement,
the clamor for it. Why can't you give it up?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And by the way, I think you just answered my question.
How much is the damn healthcare in prison these days? Well,
child's care? I think child care? How much of the
charging for babysitizen in prison?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I don't think they charge anything, because, as far as
I know, mister Owen, I'm no expert on this. I
don't think you're allowed to bring your kids with you
to jail.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You know, I was think of the same thing, But
I'm not the jail veteran that you guys all seem
to be.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Excuse me, well, I'm no expert either. My brushes with
the law were a long time ago, and I was
only there for you know, a couple hours, a few hours.
That sort of thing felt like all the time, didn't well,
it was annoying. But one thing I did not see
while I was there was a small child. I think
that's probably bad. I didn't come and call. I mean,
face tattoos, guys with stab wounds.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Maybe you didn't see them because the child care is
high quality and they kept them out of running around
out there. You know now that you take care of kids,
you keep them locked up in a room somewhere. You
don't let them run around and bother the adults.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Now that you mentioned it in Illinois, where I do
have a little experience with brushes with the law. That's
where all these Democrats are right now from Texas.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
That's true, and they are acting like children, so maybe
they should be well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
No, I think best for us, No, I think you're
onto something there. What if we uh, what if we
supply them with a childcare facility in the Cook County
jail and then instead of sending their kids there, we'll
just have them live there.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It works for me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, it was a freak show.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
It looked like the canteena bar scene out of Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
