Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'm sure I'm wrong about what I'm about to tell you,
but I'm going to describe to you what I think
my phone did while I was asleep.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh, your phone was doing things without you.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It was downloading updates. I have the automatic updates. It's
because I want to you know, security bugs and what
have you. I'd like to get it out in front
of that before the war. So overnight, I must have
started downloading stuff because I woke up this morning and
there's new apps on my iPhone.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Uh ooh.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And as far as I can tell, it is it
is a program that creates AI generated emojis.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Nice, And I don't know why I need.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
That, because it's AI and they control everything now I
woke up. People don't know it yet. But I think
we were right earlier when we said that AI is
already controlling your life. Sure you just haven't woken up
to it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well, AI right now is kind of like Crypto in
twenty seventeen. Some people will embrace it, some people won't.
And whether you like it or not, it's happening. I mean,
AI is going to happen. It's already happening.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I woke up this morning and there's a little app
here called playground. Uh oh, it's an Apple app and
it's it's a picture of a kiddie. And this does
not fit in on my phone at all. It doesn't
look like something I would have downloaded, for sure. And
then you click on it and it says describe an
image or add a suggestion from the list, And I
(01:20):
was like, all right, make an emoji of me with
a party hat. Let's see. And it does that and
there it is. Look, it's me with a party hat. Sure,
is what do I need that for?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Did you fill up a bow tie?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It gave me a bow tie?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yet? Why why did you do that?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Maybe ask for a bow tie?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Maybe it heard us talking about bow ties.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Probably that guy that wasn't gay anymore was dancing around
all gay and everything in a bow tie.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, we don't need that.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We don't need AI generated emojis, just like we don't
need public broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I got a new app on my phone. I ain't
even seen before a I photo. Have you seen that one? No, boy,
not a nash for that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I didn't ask for it either. I don't know. I
don't want it. I don't need it. I don't know
why I did that about it.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Each check your phone now, see what they're slipping to you.
They're sleeping at night in your phone. It's conspiring against you.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't like it. I don't like it just so.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I normally tried to not download the new operating systems,
but bad idea, because well, they give you things you
didn't ask for. So I haven't downloaded up until last night,
the new operating system for the last three systems. But
I wanted to use one of my apps and it said, well,
this app needs to be updated before you can use it.
(02:37):
I said, well, okay, update it. I said, oh no,
can't do that because you don't have the latest operating system.
So they force you to get the new operating system,
and then when you do, you're getting all kinds of
things you didn't ask for.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I wish what I'm about to say wasn't true.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But you're supposed to do the OS updates because if
you don't, you're leaving security halls in your phone and
you're making yourself more susceptible to hackers. I didn't get
into radio or broadcasting, or music or stand up comedy
or any of the other things I do to keep
up with technology.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That's not why I.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Did that, but sadly you kind of have to because
we live in a world now where you're vulnerable to well,
I mean, like, what do you guys use LifeLock or
anything like that you get these updates. This is not
a commercial for LifeLock. I'm not being paid to endorse it,
but I forget I even have it. And then once
in a while you'll get a message on your phone
saying like, oh, your email address appeared in a data leak,
(03:30):
please change all your passwords, or oh you you're using
an outdated version of Twitter, please update the software now
it has security flaws in.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Right of course, and you know, and that may be true,
and it may just be that they want you to
get that new system because they slip stuff in there.
Yeah exactly, Like we just don't know, do we like
a date with Bill Cosby? It's gonna happen, right exactly?
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
All?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right? So the Wow, this is a CBS not to
interrupt your your program here, but I just know to
CBS Sports has already come out with what they expect
to be wondering the uh college football Playoff rejection. How
ridiculous is this one week into the they already got
(04:16):
the playoffs teams already. Who they think? Now every week
they'll do stuff like this and then they'll say, well,
what if that happens? Well, what if this happens, and
then that's gonna change this up? Can they just not
wait for it, the play a few games, get a
month into it at least, Come on, people, but it's working.
How you figure?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Well, you click to the link.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah you're there talking about.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, you absolutely did.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Okay, Well, CBS, for whatever it's worth, at least exists
because of meritocracy. Somebody wanted to look at it. You
click to the link. Whether you like to admit it
or not.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Your top twelve teams in the twelve team playoff here
already picked. Why do we have to play the season.
Let's just go ahead and let these twelve teams just
play it out and we're done. We'll just skip right
to the end. Don't even play the games. Well, Billy,
I kind of like the weather. They don't have to
be right. They just needed you to click the leak,
(05:09):
and they won't be They won't be right, No, not
at all. And why is it that every day of
our life. Even though we talk about it all the time,
we still do it. You're going to check the weather
at some point today, sure, and it'll be wrong, obviously. Yeah,
but the weatherman right now is very well, kind of disappointed.
I've seen several weather reports where the guy doing the
(05:32):
weather has to tell us the sad, sad news that
the tropics are quiet right now. And here we are
late August, early September. This is usually like the high point.
We've got three or four storms going all at one time,
and sadly the tropics are quiet, but hopefully next week
(05:54):
we might get something in the golf fingers crossed. They
get real worked up.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, no kidding. Well, look, the weather man doesn't have
to be right. They just have to produce ratings. Unlike
public broadcasting. All public broadcasting ever had to do was
mooch off you and me. Until now, times have changed.
A short story for you. Last week, I was on
a road trip rural Nevada. I'm in the middle of nowhere.
I'm an hour from Reno. I'm in the most desolate
(06:21):
part of the desert out there. There's no civilization, there's
no lights, there's no cars, there's yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And my internet on my phone's not working. There's no
radio stations.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I thought you had that starling thing.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It only well, I'll tell you about it an a minute.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Okay, I'm scanning the radio station because there none will
listen to out there in the middle of nowhere. Two
in the morning, darkest could be darkest midnight, darkest Samuel L.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Jackson, and darker than the inside of a cow.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah. And I turn Yes, that's correct, billyhead.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
What And I turn on the radio and at eighty
eight point one or whatever it was, Oh, public, I
hear this.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There's no commercial radio, there's no internet, my iPhone doesn't work.
And way out in the middle of nowhere, in a
part of the desert where there's no plant life, I
hear smooth, easy listening.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Jazz babies listening. And as I was sitting there right yes, And.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
As I was sitting there listening to it, a thought
occurred to me, how much is this costing me?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, because this is public radio, and they're the ones
that are still getting their signal out.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's playing all the time. There's a place in rural
Nevada where nobody lives. There's no houses, there's no farms,
there's nobody there other than this one music festival that's
going on out there for a week a year. Nobody
drives to this place. Why would you go there? There's
nothing there but death and vultures and lizards. Right anyway,
now that's changing, is the point of this little rant.
(07:49):
Coping with a sudden loss in federal funding, PBS facing
a surprise extra hurdle. Many of the contributing members, the
affiliates around the country, some of them are even in Canada.
According to this in the AP are withdrawing support. They're
losing their funding, and some of them are going offline.
We're talking about three hundred and thirty PBS stations, two
hundred and forty six NPR stations that will all be
(08:13):
losing funding, and many of whom will not exist anymore
because of President Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Now, what are you gonna listen to?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Huh? I don't know. A CD.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You can get smooth jazz pretty much anywhere, anytime, like
all the other music that you can get pretty much anytime.
It can be your choice, it can be you know,
just turn it over to the computer and let it
pick it to so many different ways and They keep saying, well,
that was going to be the death of radio, like
everything they had vented since radio was going to be
the death of radio. And yet here we are strong
(08:46):
or stronger than ever.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Right, Yeah, radio still exist after all these years.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But maybe taxpayer funded radio in desolate parts of the
country where nobody lives, that air at high frequencies twenty
four hours a day isn't something we need to spend anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That sounds like exactly what Trump's taking care of.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Then God, do not come, Do not come. I'm gonna come.
The best is yet to come.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It comes to reporting the news, there's there's facts, there's.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Opinions, and then there's theories.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
You have arrived at a way point of consciousness on
the Walton and Johnson Show known ass tenfoil Hat Time.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, it's ten foil Hat Time on your favorite morning show.
And this segment is brought to you by.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's brought to you by Dragos Restaurant. I gotta tell you, man,
I don't know if I make us excited as Tommy is,
but I'm pretty excited because when football season kicks in
fall right around the corner, everybody knows. That's especially the
best time to taste the single best bite of food
in the state of Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
My brother from another you are speaking the gospel right now,
and I like it.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Those char broiled oysters from Dragos one bite. Ah, you can't.
You can't beat that. Well. Well, football being back, that
means a lot of people are going to be you know,
cooking in the yart, cooking outside, or cooking for a
party coming over to watch the game. And you can
get those char boiled oyster kits from Dragos Restaurant dot
(10:28):
com and if you if you order them by Thursday
at two pm, you'll have it in time for the
weekend games.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Man, Billy ed you are full of good ideas today.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Dragos Restaurant dot com. Smart, that's the way to go
right there. You know what else was smart? Finally releasing
the Epstein files, thirty three thousand individual files were released
yesterday as large bitrate image files okay, which means they
are a hard to download and b very difficult to search.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It's almost like the government wanted it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, make it complicated on purpose.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Here are the released files, probably the most difficult and
inconvenient format possible.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We didn't print them all up, did you.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We got them courtesy of the oversight committee of the station.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They don't like your wasting printer paper on foolishness like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well you're not wrong about that. I got a lecture
about it, we all did. But I didn't pay for
the paper, So what do I care?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
All right? So there any.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Actually lecture you first on not taking the paper home.
You maybe want to leave that here at the radio station.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, but I don't know why no one needed the
paper but me. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You know? That's that's your advice, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So they're large image files. Here's one thing that the
government didn't consider when they released these. We have groc
and CHATCHPT and other AI programs.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well they can just go in and do that summarization thing, right, Yes,
So what we did was we used groc here on
your favorite morning show to analyze these files.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
We analyzed them and what we learned of the thirty
three thousand plus pages from the DOJ, they're mostly redacted
public records with new details very few, but quite a
few new details included, like Epstein's plane flight logs, Maxwell's
interviews denying a client list, not implicating Trump or Clinton
in any wrongdoing or Clinton, and questions regarding Epstein's suicide.
(12:22):
There's also depositions planned for the Clintons, Comy, and Acosta.
There's supposed to be more releases coming, according to the documents. Now,
if you want to Dale get a little deeper, and
I'm sure you probably do, here's a little more information.
Ghalainne Maxwell's prominently implicated and convicted for sex trafficking. That's
explained in the files. Jean Luke Burnell faces allegations of
(12:42):
rape and involvement in the ring. He died in twenty
twenty two, so one of the only people on the
so called list. Uh huh can't be arrested.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Handy huh.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Other mentions include recruiters like Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marsagnakova. Sure,
but implications are limited by redactions. No new broad client list,
largely the echoes prior releases. The newly released files all
heavily redacted, focusing on protecting victims, which might explain the
ghostly feel. No explosive new client list yet, but they
(13:10):
do include flight logs.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Anne Maxwell's denials.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Okay, and it wasn't in a Paulina Luna responsible for
getting this released somehow or another because she got her
picture in the news.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
She is part of the House Oversight Committee, so you
are correct about that she did have something to do
with it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
And sits down on the topic.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Why don't we all look at some photos of Anna
Paulina Luna in bikini real quick.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
If there's time.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
We'll always make time for the important stuff. Yeah. She
let me ask you this, Christineome and a Polina Luna.
You have to pick one.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
That's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I mean Anna obviously, obviously she's in my age group.
Anna and I are more compatible.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I think. I just think that makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, but I got dogs at the house. Can't really
invite Christie over. Oh no, what she'll do?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Here's Anna Polina Luna yesterday talking about the Epstein files
than I think anyone anticipated.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
We are obviously being going to be requesting the stars
reports from Treasury and also to following up on that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
There's some very rich and powerful people that need to
go to jail. I think everyone's a bit frustrated as
to why that hasn't happened before.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, I know, she's talking about one of the worst
girl crimes against humanity.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's still sexy for you.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Look at those eyes, yeah, look at those cheap bones,
Look at those lips, Look at the way she carries herself. Now,
that is a statesman or stateswoman or states person, states
person them. I don't know what they them is, but
I do know this, Anna, Paulina Luna, if it doesn't
work out with you and that husband, just like I'm
going to be the Trappies artist's nest here to capture you. Catch.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You've chosen a poc technically over a white lady. Although
she don't look exactly dalker than Christy.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Do I get away with that because like, look at
me compared to her, Yeah, we're both kind of I'm
alive toned, right, she and I might be darker than her, and.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She'll have you seen her ride a horse, because let's
face it, when Christy Nolan got them legs wrapped around
that horse, right, that might be putting her over the top.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
As a fellow city boy like you, mister, oh, that's
not wasted on me, but it's not like it's my thing.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You just don't picture her riding you the same way.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Anna, Pauline a Luna in a one piece thong bikini
or whatever that thing is that she's wearing.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
That's it's not a one piece bikini. I know, well
it kind of is, though have you seen it. I
don't know what it's called. But one piece is not
a bikini.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
See I get that. But at the same time, when
she wears it, somehow it is you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Why is that? I don't know. I don't know how
to explain it.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I do know this though, I think it's because of distosterone.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I hope she becomes president someday.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh yeah, look at that. I mean absolutely, that is
what we need. That is what America is calling on.
And a Paulina Luna not the hero that we needed,
but definitely the one we wanted.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Put those away? What just put all that away? All
you guys, put your hands up on top of the
gunsole here.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You know what else? I like? She does the thing
with the high socks.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I really like that, right when they have the like,
what are those like hockey player socks?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
She like Catholic schoolgirl uniform stuff for you?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, no, no, there's a picture of neither. Do you
want me to get it back? I'll get it back
on the screen. Hang on, you obviously need to have
it explain to you.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Oh, there's this famous picture of her where she's wearing
these tall socks. See what I mean, they're they're right there.
You see them there?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh, I know you're looking at the socks right well,
whatever the thong going up the cracker, you're looking at socks.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hey, that is a stop it. That is one of
the smartest women in Congress. Remember what she said about aliens.
I believe her. Hell yeah, yeah, I mean, look, why
would she lie?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Coming up just after the break here which we were
forced to take Florida Man Report on the Way and
hopefully less naked Paulinea Lunas.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
According to and then broke Apocalypse of politics. No matter
how you frame it, what was finally set can largely
be defined as a rant filled with familiar lines and
lines of attack.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
This is the Walton and Johnson Show.
I'm sure I'm wrong about what I'm about to tell you,
but I'm going to describe to you what I think
my phone did while I was asleep.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh, your phone was doing things without you.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It was downloading updates. I have the automatic updates. It's
because I want to you know, security bugs and what
have you. I'd like to get it out in front
of that before the war. So overnight, I must have
started downloading stuff because I woke up this morning and
there's new apps on my iPhone.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Uh ooh.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And as far as I can tell, it is it
is a program that creates AI generated emojis.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Nice, And I don't know why I need.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
That, because it's AI and they control everything now I
woke up. People don't know it yet. But I think
we were right earlier when we said that AI is
already controlling your life. Sure you just haven't woken up
to it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well, AI right now is kind of like Crypto in
twenty seventeen. Some people will embrace it, some people won't.
And whether you like it or not, it's happening. I mean,
AI is going to happen. It's already happening.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I woke up this morning and there's a little app
here called playground. Uh oh, it's an Apple app and
it's it's a picture of a kiddie. And this does
not fit in on my phone at all. It doesn't
look like something I would have downloaded, for sure. And
then you click on it and it says describe an
image or add a suggestion from the list, And I
(01:20):
was like, all right, make an emoji of me with
a party hat. Let's see. And it does that and
there it is. Look, it's me with a party hat. Sure,
is what do I need that for?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Did you fill up a bow tie?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It gave me a bow tie?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yet? Why why did you do that?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Maybe ask for a bow tie?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Maybe it heard us talking about bow ties.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Probably that guy that wasn't gay anymore was dancing around
all gay and everything in a bow tie.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, we don't need that.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We don't need AI generated emojis, just like we don't
need public broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I got a new app on my phone. I ain't
even seen before a I photo. Have you seen that one? No, boy,
not a nash for that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I didn't ask for it either. I don't know. I
don't want it. I don't need it. I don't know
why I did that about it.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Each check your phone now, see what they're slipping to you.
They're sleeping at night in your phone. It's conspiring against you.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't like it. I don't like it just so.

I normally tried to not download the new operating systems,

(02:37):
I said, well, okay, update it. I said, oh no,
can't do that because you don't have the latest operating system.
So they force you to get the new operating system,
and then when you do, you're getting all kinds of
things you didn't ask for.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I wish what I'm about to say wasn't true.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But you're supposed to do the OS updates because if
you don't, you're leaving security halls in your phone and
you're making yourself more susceptible to hackers. I didn't get
into radio or broadcasting, or music or stand up comedy
or any of the other things I do to keep
up with technology.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That's not why I.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Did that, but sadly you kind of have to because
we live in a world now where you're vulnerable to well,
I mean, like, what do you guys use LifeLock or
anything like that you get these updates. This is not
a commercial for LifeLock. I'm not being paid to endorse it,
but I forget I even have it. And then once
in a while you'll get a message on your phone
saying like, oh, your email address appeared in a data leak,
(03:30):
please change all your passwords, or oh you you're using
an outdated version of Twitter, please update the software now
it has security flaws in.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Right of course, and you know, and that may be true,
and it may just be that they want you to
get that new system because they slip stuff in there.
Yeah exactly, Like we just don't know, do we like
a date with Bill Cosby? It's gonna happen, right exactly?
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (03:52):
All?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right? So the Wow, this is a CBS not to
interrupt your your program here, but I just know to
CBS Sports has already come out with what they expect
to be wondering the uh college football Playoff rejection. How
ridiculous is this one week into the they already got
(04:16):
the playoffs teams already. Who they think? Now every week
they'll do stuff like this and then they'll say, well,
what if that happens? Well, what if this happens, and
then that's gonna change this up? Can they just not
wait for it, the play a few games, get a
month into it at least, Come on, people, but it's working.
How you figure?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Well, you click to the link.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah you're there talking about.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, you absolutely did.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Okay, Well, CBS, for whatever it's worth, at least exists
because of meritocracy. Somebody wanted to look at it. You
click to the link. Whether you like to admit it
or not.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Your top twelve teams in the twelve team playoff here
already picked. Why do we have to play the season.
Let's just go ahead and let these twelve teams just
play it out and we're done. We'll just skip right
to the end. Don't even play the games. Well, Billy,
I kind of like the weather. They don't have to
be right. They just needed you to click the leak,
(05:09):
and they won't be They won't be right, No, not
at all. And why is it that every day of
our life. Even though we talk about it all the time,
we still do it. You're going to check the weather
at some point today, sure, and it'll be wrong, obviously. Yeah,
but the weatherman right now is very well, kind of disappointed.
I've seen several weather reports where the guy doing the
(05:32):
weather has to tell us the sad, sad news that
the tropics are quiet right now. And here we are
late August, early September. This is usually like the high point.
We've got three or four storms going all at one time,
and sadly the tropics are quiet, but hopefully next week
(05:54):
we might get something in the golf fingers crossed. They
get real worked up.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, no kidding. Well, look, the weather man doesn't have
to be right. They just have to produce ratings. Unlike
public broadcasting. All public broadcasting ever had to do was
mooch off you and me. Until now, times have changed.
A short story for you. Last week, I was on
a road trip rural Nevada. I'm in the middle of nowhere.
I'm an hour from Reno. I'm in the most desolate
(06:21):
part of the desert out there. There's no civilization, there's
no lights, there's no cars, there's yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And my internet on my phone's not working. There's no
radio stations.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I thought you had that starling thing.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It only well, I'll tell you about it an a minute.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Okay, I'm scanning the radio station because there none will
listen to out there in the middle of nowhere. Two
in the morning, darkest could be darkest midnight, darkest Samuel L.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Jackson, and darker than the inside of a cow.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah. And I turn Yes, that's correct, billyhead.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
What And I turn on the radio and at eighty
eight point one or whatever it was, Oh, public, I
hear this.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There's no commercial radio, there's no internet, my iPhone doesn't work.
And way out in the middle of nowhere, in a
part of the desert where there's no plant life, I
hear smooth, easy listening.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Jazz babies listening. And as I was sitting there right yes, And.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
As I was sitting there listening to it, a thought
occurred to me, how much is this costing me?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, because this is public radio, and they're the ones
that are still getting their signal out.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's playing all the time. There's a place in rural
Nevada where nobody lives. There's no houses, there's no farms,
there's nobody there other than this one music festival that's
going on out there for a week a year. Nobody
drives to this place. Why would you go there? There's
nothing there but death and vultures and lizards. Right anyway,
now that's changing, is the point of this little rant.
(07:49):
Coping with a sudden loss in federal funding, PBS facing
a surprise extra hurdle. Many of the contributing members, the
affiliates around the country, some of them are even in Canada.
According to this in the AP are withdrawing support. They're
losing their funding, and some of them are going offline.
We're talking about three hundred and thirty PBS stations, two
hundred and forty six NPR stations that will all be
(08:13):
losing funding, and many of whom will not exist anymore
because of President Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Now, what are you gonna listen to?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Huh? I don't know. A CD.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You can get smooth jazz pretty much anywhere, anytime, like
all the other music that you can get pretty much anytime.
It can be your choice, it can be you know,
just turn it over to the computer and let it
pick it to so many different ways and They keep saying, well,
that was going to be the death of radio, like
everything they had vented since radio was going to be
the death of radio. And yet here we are strong
(08:46):
or stronger than ever.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Right, Yeah, radio still exist after all these years.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But maybe taxpayer funded radio in desolate parts of the
country where nobody lives, that air at high frequencies twenty
four hours a day isn't something we need to spend anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That sounds like exactly what Trump's taking care of.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Then God, do not come, Do not come. I'm gonna come.
The best is yet to come.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It comes to reporting the news, there's there's facts, there's.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Opinions, and then there's theories.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
You have arrived at a way point of consciousness on
the Walton and Johnson Show known ass tenfoil Hat Time.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, it's ten foil Hat Time on your favorite morning show.
And this segment is brought to you by.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's brought to you by Dragos Restaurant. I gotta tell you, man,
I don't know if I make us excited as Tommy is,
but I'm pretty excited because when football season kicks in
fall right around the corner, everybody knows. That's especially the
best time to taste the single best bite of food
in the state of Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
My brother from another you are speaking the gospel right now,
and I like it.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Those char broiled oysters from Dragos one bite. Ah, you can't.
You can't beat that. Well. Well, football being back, that
means a lot of people are going to be you know,
cooking in the yart, cooking outside, or cooking for a
party coming over to watch the game. And you can
get those char boiled oyster kits from Dragos Restaurant dot
(10:28):
com and if you if you order them by Thursday
at two pm, you'll have it in time for the
weekend games.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Man, Billy ed you are full of good ideas today.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Dragos Restaurant dot com. Smart, that's the way to go
right there. You know what else was smart? Finally releasing
the Epstein files, thirty three thousand individual files were released
yesterday as large bitrate image files okay, which means they
are a hard to download and b very difficult to search.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It's almost like the government wanted it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, make it complicated on purpose.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Here are the released files, probably the most difficult and
inconvenient format possible.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We didn't print them all up, did you.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We got them courtesy of the oversight committee of the station.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They don't like your wasting printer paper on foolishness like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well you're not wrong about that. I got a lecture
about it, we all did. But I didn't pay for
the paper, So what do I care?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
All right? So there any.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Actually lecture you first on not taking the paper home.
You maybe want to leave that here at the radio station.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, but I don't know why no one needed the
paper but me. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You know? That's that's your advice, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So they're large image files. Here's one thing that the
government didn't consider when they released these. We have groc
and CHATCHPT and other AI programs.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well they can just go in and do that summarization thing, right, Yes,
So what we did was we used groc here on
your favorite morning show to analyze these files.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
We analyzed them and what we learned of the thirty
three thousand plus pages from the DOJ, they're mostly redacted
public records with new details very few, but quite a
few new details included, like Epstein's plane flight logs, Maxwell's
interviews denying a client list, not implicating Trump or Clinton
in any wrongdoing or Clinton, and questions regarding Epstein's suicide.
(12:22):
There's also depositions planned for the Clintons, Comy, and Acosta.
There's supposed to be more releases coming, according to the documents. Now,
if you want to Dale get a little deeper, and
I'm sure you probably do, here's a little more information.
Ghalainne Maxwell's prominently implicated and convicted for sex trafficking. That's
explained in the files. Jean Luke Burnell faces allegations of
(12:42):
rape and involvement in the ring. He died in twenty
twenty two, so one of the only people on the
so called list. Uh huh can't be arrested.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Handy huh.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Other mentions include recruiters like Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marsagnakova. Sure,
but implications are limited by redactions. No new broad client list,
largely the echoes prior releases. The newly released files all
heavily redacted, focusing on protecting victims, which might explain the
ghostly feel. No explosive new client list yet, but they
(13:10):
do include flight logs.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Anne Maxwell's denials.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Okay, and it wasn't in a Paulina Luna responsible for
getting this released somehow or another because she got her
picture in the news.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
She is part of the House Oversight Committee, so you
are correct about that she did have something to do
with it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
And sits down on the topic.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Why don't we all look at some photos of Anna
Paulina Luna in bikini real quick.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
If there's time.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
We'll always make time for the important stuff. Yeah. She
let me ask you this, Christineome and a Polina Luna.
You have to pick one.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
That's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I mean Anna obviously, obviously she's in my age group.
Anna and I are more compatible.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I think. I just think that makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, but I got dogs at the house. Can't really
invite Christie over. Oh no, what she'll do?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Here's Anna Polina Luna yesterday talking about the Epstein files
than I think anyone anticipated.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
We are obviously being going to be requesting the stars
reports from Treasury and also to following up on that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
There's some very rich and powerful people that need to
go to jail. I think everyone's a bit frustrated as
to why that hasn't happened before.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, I know, she's talking about one of the worst
girl crimes against humanity.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's still sexy for you.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Look at those eyes, yeah, look at those cheap bones,
Look at those lips, Look at the way she carries herself. Now,
that is a statesman or stateswoman or states person, states
person them. I don't know what they them is, but
I do know this, Anna, Paulina Luna, if it doesn't
work out with you and that husband, just like I'm
going to be the Trappies artist's nest here to capture you. Catch.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You've chosen a poc technically over a white lady. Although
she don't look exactly dalker than Christy.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Do I get away with that because like, look at
me compared to her, Yeah, we're both kind of I'm
alive toned, right, she and I might be darker than her, and.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She'll have you seen her ride a horse, because let's
face it, when Christy Nolan got them legs wrapped around
that horse, right, that might be putting her over the top.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
As a fellow city boy like you, mister, oh, that's
not wasted on me, but it's not like it's my thing.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You just don't picture her riding you the same way.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Anna, Pauline a Luna in a one piece thong bikini
or whatever that thing is that she's wearing.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
That's it's not a one piece bikini. I know, well
it kind of is, though have you seen it. I
don't know what it's called. But one piece is not
a bikini.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
See I get that. But at the same time, when
she wears it, somehow it is you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Why is that? I don't know. I don't know how
to explain it.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I do know this though, I think it's because of distosterone.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I hope she becomes president someday.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh yeah, look at that. I mean absolutely, that is
what we need. That is what America is calling on.
And a Paulina Luna not the hero that we needed,
but definitely the one we wanted.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Put those away? What just put all that away? All
you guys, put your hands up on top of the
gunsole here.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You know what else? I like? She does the thing
with the high socks.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I really like that, right when they have the like,
what are those like hockey player socks?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
She like Catholic schoolgirl uniform stuff for you?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, no, no, there's a picture of neither. Do you
want me to get it back? I'll get it back
on the screen. Hang on, you obviously need to have
it explain to you.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Oh, there's this famous picture of her where she's wearing
these tall socks. See what I mean, they're they're right there.
You see them there?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh, I know you're looking at the socks right well,
whatever the thong going up the cracker, you're looking at socks.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hey, that is a stop it. That is one of
the smartest women in Congress. Remember what she said about aliens.
I believe her. Hell yeah, yeah, I mean, look, why
would she lie?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Coming up just after the break here which we were
forced to take Florida Man Report on the Way and
hopefully less naked Paulinea Lunas.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
According to and then broke Apocalypse of politics. No matter
how you frame it, what was finally set can largely
be defined as a rant filled with familiar lines and
lines of attack.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
This is the Walton and Johnson Show.
