Speaker 1 (00:00):
We forgot to if you just woke up, Good morning,
Welcome to the Walton Johnson Show. We've been chatting about
some things for a while. We mentioned earlier that you
woke up in a new world today where we the
United States are at war with Canada. Yeah, forgot to
mention why it is that that is taking place. Apparently, Trump,
(00:21):
being the you know, the crazy Nazi inspired hitlery fascist
that he is, has a real short temper and you know,
Canada pissed him off, so now he wants to gass
them all.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, wow, yeah, you know how the Nazis are.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The way the Democrats on TV explained it. Obviously that
really happened.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Okay, So in Canada, I'm trying to see if I
can find it in Canada, they're running this TV ad
or a radio ad. There's an ad in Canada and
basically it's about tariffs, and it's it's an old SoundBite
of Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Is that this I'm trying to see if I can
find it anyway.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
The point is it's round on Reagan explaining why it
doesn't like tariffs, and they're running it right now as
Canada is negotiating their trade deals with the United States.
So they're trying to drum up controversy for the new
trade deals and make the point here that you know,
Donald Trump bad, Donald Trump's no Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
That's the whole point of this.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So Trump saw this ad that the Canadian government put
out there and said, all right, we're done negotiating.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Enjoy your high tariffs.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
The are yours. Now you own them.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
These belong to you. And okay, here it is. I
think I just found it. This is the advertisement. It's
let's play it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it
looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American
products and jobs. And sometimes for a short row, it works,
but only for a short time. But over the long run,
such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consume. The
(02:00):
inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering
of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Market shrink
and collapse, businesses and industry shut down, and millions.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Of people lose their jobs.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the weight
of prosperity for oiln nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and
promoting fair and free competition.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'm gonna stop it right here.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Most Republicans probably like Reagan or have fond memories, I'm sure,
And technically is right. Tariffs are not generally good for
free trade. It's the opposite of that, right, it's fair trade,
and that's not how Trump is using the tariffs. But anyway,
go ahead. Yeah, it's pretty clear the way Ronald Reagan
explains it in the SoundBite. It's okay for a short
(02:49):
period of time. Well, that's what Trump's doing, right, the
point of these terraiation leverage.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And it's been unfair to us for decades, a long
long time, and he's trying to just even that up
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's been really bad for a long long time.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's been really Our trade deals with most countries don't
make any sense. And it was okay for a while
because we had such a larger and more powerful economy
than they did.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Skip over all that other stuff. And let's get to
the point where we sign up to invade or are
we gonna be part of the ground troops. I want
to go. It's gonna be like a short weekend, probably
just you know, go up kick at Canada's ass and
come on back.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'm okay with that because it's Canada and nobody what
there's early twelve people there who gives a crap. But
I don't think polar bears or something. I don't think
that's actually happening Bill yet. I hate to see if I.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Were at war with somebody, I make them, you know,
like like we're about to invade Venezuela. Now that's gonna
be fun. But I don't want to do that one. Okay,
Well that is I think actually happened. We'll get to
that in a little bit. There was they trying to
divide us. They're gonna send half the troops Venezuela, half
the troops Canada. That way, they think these little countries
stand a chance against us. Eh, they'll learn a tough lesson.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
No, they're not what Bill yet, who's telling you this?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Not invading Canada yet?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're not invading Canada and Canada is not yet. Canada's
not teaming up with Venezuela. No, that's not what's happening.
But look, we know that taxes suck. Most conservatives understand that.
We understand that when the government spends money. It's not
their money, it's our money. Most conservatives, right wingers, libertarians,
populist nationalists, they get that right. But as Trump has
(04:22):
pointed out over the last what do we add here
nine months of his presidency, it's really abundantly obvious here
that temporary tariffs put in place can be used as
a bartering tool. And it's not just for the purpose
of getting better trade deals. You can use it for
other stuff too, like getting criminals out of your country.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Make the show a lot more exciting, I think, And
we learned this from from liberals. If we aren't, if
we don't always just stick to the truth, Kimmy, couldn't
we elaborate? Couldn't we exaggerate? Couldn't we maybe just suggest
possibly an invasion? Babe? Yeah? Sure does make the show
a lot more exciting. Sure, yeah, go ahead, Uh get
(05:01):
behind it, all right, we can do it.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
All right?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, maybe we could invade Florida and instead of taking over,
we'll just copy what they're doing over there.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, what are they doing in Florida? Acting like a
bunch of nuts? Is what Florida? Man is?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You know?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I am gay for economic news and what DeSantis is
doing right now is making me feel like liberaci. I
really enjoy this. Governor Ron de Santis just made clear
he is full steam ahead on ambolishing all property tax
to Florida homeowners.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
So we got to put it on the ballot and
the voters have to approve it. It's a constitutional issue
in Florida. It's not something the state derives revenue for.
It's a local issue. We're trying to focus on Florida
homeowners and their primary resident. Just for the Airbnb's or whatever,
you know, that's separate, but your personal home, you shouldn't
(05:48):
rent it from the government, you should own it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That is so true. Why just gay people just for
the homeowns, homeowners, billion homeowners, people that own a home.
H No, I'll see what he did there now.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, in Florida, the cost of living is high for
for a number of reasons. One of them is it's
mostly it's very popular, but also there are these other.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Things happening there.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A lot of people have a second home there, they
have a vacation rental, there are corporate owned houses. And
then and this goes a little deeper into what we've
seen over the last several years, since the pandemic Blackrock
and Vanguarden, State Street buying up all the houses in
Middle America and making it almost impossible to buy one.
What if we did it like this, and I'm going
to say this is a free market capitalist guy. What
(06:33):
if no property tax on your home, you have a
second home or a long term rental property tax? You
have a vacation rental, double property tax? Oh, corporate owned
corp corporate owned houses.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
We get a vacation rental. Okay, purgatory. I don't want
to pay double well. Exemption for media, no exemption for
right wingers, Yeah, thank you?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Okay. Corporate owned triple property tax. Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street
owned quadruple property tax.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They can afford it, That's what I hear. Vanguard, I mean,
let's call black Rock, Yeah, owns everything.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Now, Steve, don't you think if you had no property
tax on your home home? I think double property tax
on a vacation rental wouldn't be that bad.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I guess you're right. It is a good point because
I have a home in Harris County, which has well,
I think the second or third highest property tax rate
in America, and the home I have in Colorado it's
extremely low property tax comparatively.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So if we did that, wouldn't you come out way
over the top on that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You've convinced me I'm good. I just skipped over the
part where I wasn't paying property tax in Houston. That's
a relief.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
The only problem with this idea is black Rock Vanguard
State Street. You can't have laws in place specifically targeted
towards specific companies. So how would we How would we
word the law so that they're paying quadruple property tax?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It'd be over all companies then of a certain if
they reach a certain level of value to their company,
if it's worth over a billion dollars, they should pay more, right,
I mean, that's how the Democrats look at it. For
regular taxes. Tax the rich, tax the rich companies.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
That's what's so amazing. They don't see it that way. No,
they're just like, they.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Don't like this, but they like that, And it's kind
of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't want to give private equity firms who are
largely responsible for the artificial shortage of housing and obscene
price increases, a tax break on hundreds of millions of homes,
if not billions of dollars in property tax exemptions and
transfer that I would transfer that burden to individuals.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I wouldn't want to do that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You're say, the only problem with this is that that
what you're explaining, they're not I think the only problem
with it is that it's not real. It's just make believe.
It's fantasy, which I encourage. But that's the problem. I'm confused.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
What's not real?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
No property tax for us well Florida. Yeah, I know.
But all that stuff you explained about how Johnson ain't
paying this tax, now I'm not paying that tax and
we played double tax over here. No, that's actually happening,
is it?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
A few things about that. That's the problem. Number one,
if you would just get elected president or a hell
just governor, then you might stand a chance at making
this happen. Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So, I don't know if you've heard of this or not,
but whatever DeSantis does the governor of Florida, Abbott likes
to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
A couple months.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Later, you know you're onto something there. He probably hadn't
heard about this hit, but when he does, he's gonna
suddenly have a brilliant idea.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Now I know what the rest of you are thinking,
what about those of us who don't live in Texas
or Florida?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
What about those? Well? Move I don't mean to brag,
but our radio show is so good.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
How good is it?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Some very powerful people in the governments of multiple states
surrounding our region listen to this radio show and might
even be seduced by this idea.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
They could follow our lead, as you say.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Different governors, attorney generals, federal national senators.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Sure, people that can actually do something about like it.
Let's do it. Let's go with it. Yeah, go ahead
and stamp that done. Taking care of problem. Solve what
else we got? Oh? That gambling thing. We're gonna have
to solve that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Okay, when we get back from commercial break, we're going
to talk.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
About Remember, it involves the mafia.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
It involves the mafia. I thought I thought it involved
what was it, the urban community and the mafia. Wait,
Italian guys are watching basketball.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh, it's not just basketball. It's bigger than that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Wow. I can't wait to see how big these balls get.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's Friday Friday, almost miss Friday waits for no one
burned a little rest and relaxation. Walton and Johnson Radio
Network got an AI story to tell or something, because
you got robot noise, like robot music going. So is
it about Is it about Ai? Am I really that predictable?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That that's not.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Always trying to figure you out, trying to stay one stamp,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That does sound like something I would do. But no,
that's not what this is about.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
No, well, then I guess I was wrong.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is the music of a nineteen eighty He's electro
star Egyptian lovers, music produced on his gold Rowland eight
Oho eight drum machine, a beat making tool that helped
ignite hip hop music, Billiod, That.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Same thing as in the synthesizers you collect.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well, technically a drum machine is a synthesizer for drum sounds. Yes,
for percussion. Yes, Steve, that's correct. Use these words every
now and then, see Steve gets it, Billie.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, hush, both of you. Hush. I'm trying
to enjoy the music. Okay, stop, okay, yeah, okay, you
called me out on that one true. Wait did you
say it was lbj's choice.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
As you know LBJ Lyndon B. Johnson just loved black
people and rap music.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's why.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
From now until January fourth, twenty twenty six. Excuse me,
the following things will be on display and his presidential
library in Austin, Texas. Chuck D's handwritten lyrics to the
song fight the Power.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yet out best best Education.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
That would have worked better if it didn't start with
words can I fight power?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Too Strong?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Do all of his songs start off with? That's one
album version of Lewis there we go?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Black Swede hat, Yeah, I think ye boy, you do
that so good?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Black Swede Fedora hat and Adidas superstars belonging to run DMC,
Egyptian Lovers, gold Rawlindato eight, a kangle hat owned by
and worn by L cool J and the steady rock crew.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Who knows what's that guy's name that actualy for it
all the time? You mean mister Oh no, I mean
the guy in movies that says it all the time,
the snakes off that plane and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh Samuel L.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Jackson, Yeah, didn't he wear one in kangaroo hats?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He did wear a yes should Let's see a pair
of drumsticks from Quest Love MC lights customed Timberlands got
a pair of.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Sticks from a buddy of mine, who plays drums in
a band. Maybe you heard of him Fred? Oh uh yeah,
I thought Cowboman. I thought those were Steve's drumsticks. I
got some too. He throws that to in the audience.
If you're real quick, you can snatch them out of
the air.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Am I the only guy on the show that doesn't
have a pair of cowboy mouths drumsticks?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You don't have any? No, you ever go to the shows?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Plps if you go to the show, you ever mean?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, I've been, but I didn't get a pair of drumsticks.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, anyway, the point I'm trying to the point I'm
trying to get as LBJ Lennon B. Johnson, hardcore supporter
of urban music, especially the rap music. I had no
idea he's going to have the from now until early
January hip Hop in America the mixtape exhibit, and it's
all of the just some of the edgiest rappers from
the golden years of.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Rap music billy and that would be what years exactly,
I like.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
The nineteen eighties, the nineties, that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Does it bother anybody that LBJ died in seventy three? Okay,
so I think this is a little. I'm gotten a
disconnection here.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I think you're forgetting that technically explaining that out loud
would involve numbers and a light amount of math.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And what do we always say about math? Don't do
the live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But what's the other thing we say about math? It's racist?
Math is racist? Billy, Yes, And you're doing math right
now on the radio.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The oldest trick in the book. It's the oldest trick
in the book. I believe I fell for it.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's true. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
The point is just LBJ. And you know how he
loved the blacks. You know, he was always oh yeah,
he was always known for his love of the blacks.
Did everything he could help him out, Yeah, he really did.
And what was the other thing? He really loved ordering pants.
He loved to order pants. He liked a lot of
room that crotch, didn't he he really did. He enjoyed,
I believe. But he hated when it would cut his bunghole.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Well, who doesn't hate that? Okay, there's a couple of
days like it.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Now.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Another thing that crutch down saying, it's always a little
too tight. So when you make them up, give me
a each that I rent out there because they cut me.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It's just like.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Riding the water fants. These are almost the best that
I've had anywhere in the United States. But when I
gained a little weight, they cut me under there. So
leave me.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You never do have much march.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
In that if you can't leave me about it in
age from the part of the Zipprit and around under
my back to my bung hole.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Man, oh man?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Idiocracy is so real? Ain't it the truth? Why?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Why Lbj's library. He was one of the most racist
presidents of his time period that we know of. Anyway,
what did he say? He said, send all the blacks
back to Africa? Or what did he say? I think
that was Lincoln? Oh that was Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
No, LBJ. They kind of got along in that topic.
According to people close to LBJ.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
He famously said he'd have those voting Democrat till the
end of time.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But how is he going to do that?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
With the War on Poverty, which was just a lot
of welfare.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
He basically said, he'll.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Give him, give him a couple of you know, throw
some bread at him, and they'll vote for you for
the rest of their lives.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Breton circus is basically that with more welfare will get
poor black people so dependent on the government, they'll always
support our political party.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And that was his position.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
And now you could check out Hip Hop America the
Mixtape exhibit from now until January fourth.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
At the LBJ Library. Do they also have a special
section where you can read all about lbj's civil rights activities.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It turns out that's not a big part of the exhibit.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
President back in the sixties, you know, after Kennedy, I
think Joelanda Jones had him killed. So since he was
president back in those tumultuous years, how about that of
the sixties. I'm sure he had a lot of important
documents and decisions that were made regarding the civil rights
(16:50):
for the black folks. You know, I'm glad you brought
up Jolanda Jones. Boy, she is a well she's from
the hood, you know. So she's a rough and tumble gal.
You mess with her, you gonna get cut, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
So it turns out Jelanda Jones is not from the hood.
Well she said she was, non It turns out Jelanda
Jones is actually from a pretty nice family, a pretty
nice neighborhood, grew up with a little I mean, remember
she was what is it, a heptathlete. She competed in
the Pan America Games. It's my understanding she's not actually
(17:24):
from a terrible neighborhood. But anyway, she claims, having grown
up that you know that it wasn't great, and some
people have called that into question.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I do know this, this assumption that we have that
the next Shila Jackson Lee was going to be Jasmine Crockett,
and it turns out it is not written in stone.
Jolanda Jones, the state representative from Texas currently running for
Congress in the same district. Mind you, he's really giving
Jasmin Crockett a run for her money with comments like this, I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Not gonna putch you back in your face. I'm gonna
go across your neck.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Wow. And the little hand thing when you do that.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Is not she right across the next She was talking
about Republicans this week on CNN.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Here she is again, we need to wipe out every
Republican in New York, in California, in Illinois. So no
one can make me feel bad.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
So no one can make me feel now, mind you
She's saying this to a white.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Liberal, and that white lady had nothing to say back
to her. No, we're just nodding her head to nod
at her head, like yeah, just just don't don't attack
me about that.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Well, you understand the hierarchy here, An affluent white liberal
woman on cable news can't interrupt an angry black lesbian
when she's talking. That would be sacrilege lesbian. What Yeah,
Jolanda Jones, who claims to first I've heard about this.
She also claims to be a devout Catholic. That's why
I like herself. Well, sure, yeah, no, it's not the
first time she has made.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
How many devout Catholics go against all the Catholic teachings,
But yet they're devout like Nancy Pelosi and well so
many others. Joe Biden comes to mind. They're big on
killing unborn children. The abortion is like a thing for
a Democrat, and yet the Catholic churches used to be
against it. I don't know where they are now with
this new pope.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Okay, so the technically, the HRC will tell you there's
no official Catholic argument against having lesbian sex.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Their issue was two guys together. Oh, if a man
never says in the Bible, if a woman lay with
a woman, so they get a pass.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Thou shalt not scissor with thine sister.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's probably in the new version, probably the right.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Anyway, with all that be had said, this isn't even
the first time that Jolanda has gone viral recently.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I almost forgot about this.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Back in August, she said that deporting all the illegals
was a.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Lot like the Holocaust.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Now, I ask you, when Anne Frank and her family
got rounded up, did they send them back to their
home country.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Tell them to get out of here and don't you
dare come back?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Did they tell did they take it back where they
came from and let them go and just say bye?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
No, that's not what the Holocaust was. It's funny how
many of these politicians today are such experts on Hitler
Nazis the Holocaust. That big fat boy up bear in Chicago,
that pritchgar guy. Yeah, he tried to lay it out
for us yesterday that he knows all about how Trump
is basically just a young and up and coming Hitler,
(20:15):
because and the reason you know so much about who's
Hitler and who isn't they have a Holocaust museum there
in Chicago. Did you know that? That's brilliant and so
that makes him really wise.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I'm glad you brought that up. I want to get
to that in a minute too. But real quick, here's
Joelanda and.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Then integration happening. Everybody thought they accept this. They don't
accept this. They're showing us who they are. We should
believe in and we better have a curse to stand
up otherwise we will fall for anything. And in this
country we will be defeated, deported. I mean, we will
lose all of our rights. And if you think it
can't happen, it can. And I will liken this to
the Holocaust people.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, okay, finally here Well Friday, wait, I'm not ready.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network
We forgot to if you just woke up, Good morning,
Welcome to the Walton Johnson Show. We've been chatting about
some things for a while. We mentioned earlier that you
woke up in a new world today where we the
United States are at war with Canada. Yeah, forgot to
mention why it is that that is taking place. Apparently, Trump,
(00:21):
being the you know, the crazy Nazi inspired hitlery fascist
that he is, has a real short temper and you know,
Canada pissed him off, so now he wants to gass
them all.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, wow, yeah, you know how the Nazis are.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The way the Democrats on TV explained it. Obviously that
really happened.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Okay, So in Canada, I'm trying to see if I
can find it in Canada, they're running this TV ad
or a radio ad. There's an ad in Canada and
basically it's about tariffs, and it's it's an old SoundBite
of Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Is that this I'm trying to see if I can
find it anyway.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
The point is it's round on Reagan explaining why it
doesn't like tariffs, and they're running it right now as
Canada is negotiating their trade deals with the United States.
So they're trying to drum up controversy for the new
trade deals and make the point here that you know,
Donald Trump bad, Donald Trump's no Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
That's the whole point of this.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So Trump saw this ad that the Canadian government put
out there and said, all right, we're done negotiating.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Enjoy your high tariffs.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
The are yours. Now you own them.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
These belong to you. And okay, here it is. I
think I just found it. This is the advertisement. It's
let's play it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it
looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American
products and jobs. And sometimes for a short row, it works,
but only for a short time. But over the long run,
such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consume. The
(02:00):
inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering
of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Market shrink
and collapse, businesses and industry shut down, and millions.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Of people lose their jobs.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the weight
of prosperity for oiln nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and
promoting fair and free competition.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'm gonna stop it right here.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Most Republicans probably like Reagan or have fond memories, I'm sure,
And technically is right. Tariffs are not generally good for
free trade. It's the opposite of that, right, it's fair trade,
and that's not how Trump is using the tariffs. But anyway,
go ahead. Yeah, it's pretty clear the way Ronald Reagan
explains it in the SoundBite. It's okay for a short
(02:49):
period of time. Well, that's what Trump's doing, right, the
point of these terraiation leverage.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And it's been unfair to us for decades, a long
long time, and he's trying to just even that up
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's been really bad for a long long time.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's been really Our trade deals with most countries don't
make any sense. And it was okay for a while
because we had such a larger and more powerful economy
than they did.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Skip over all that other stuff. And let's get to
the point where we sign up to invade or are
we gonna be part of the ground troops. I want
to go. It's gonna be like a short weekend, probably
just you know, go up kick at Canada's ass and
come on back.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'm okay with that because it's Canada and nobody what
there's early twelve people there who gives a crap. But
I don't think polar bears or something. I don't think
that's actually happening Bill yet. I hate to see if I.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Were at war with somebody, I make them, you know,
like like we're about to invade Venezuela. Now that's gonna
be fun. But I don't want to do that one. Okay,
Well that is I think actually happened. We'll get to
that in a little bit. There was they trying to
divide us. They're gonna send half the troops Venezuela, half
the troops Canada. That way, they think these little countries
stand a chance against us. Eh, they'll learn a tough lesson.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
No, they're not what Bill yet, who's telling you this?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Not invading Canada yet?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're not invading Canada and Canada is not yet. Canada's
not teaming up with Venezuela. No, that's not what's happening.
But look, we know that taxes suck. Most conservatives understand that.
We understand that when the government spends money. It's not
their money, it's our money. Most conservatives, right wingers, libertarians,
populist nationalists, they get that right. But as Trump has
(04:22):
pointed out over the last what do we add here
nine months of his presidency, it's really abundantly obvious here
that temporary tariffs put in place can be used as
a bartering tool. And it's not just for the purpose
of getting better trade deals. You can use it for
other stuff too, like getting criminals out of your country.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Make the show a lot more exciting, I think, And
we learned this from from liberals. If we aren't, if
we don't always just stick to the truth, Kimmy, couldn't
we elaborate? Couldn't we exaggerate? Couldn't we maybe just suggest
possibly an invasion? Babe? Yeah? Sure does make the show
a lot more exciting. Sure, yeah, go ahead, Uh get
(05:01):
behind it, all right, we can do it.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
All right?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, maybe we could invade Florida and instead of taking over,
we'll just copy what they're doing over there.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, what are they doing in Florida? Acting like a
bunch of nuts? Is what Florida? Man is?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You know?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I am gay for economic news and what DeSantis is
doing right now is making me feel like liberaci. I
really enjoy this. Governor Ron de Santis just made clear
he is full steam ahead on ambolishing all property tax
to Florida homeowners.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
So we got to put it on the ballot and
the voters have to approve it. It's a constitutional issue
in Florida. It's not something the state derives revenue for.
It's a local issue. We're trying to focus on Florida
homeowners and their primary resident. Just for the Airbnb's or whatever,
you know, that's separate, but your personal home, you shouldn't
(05:48):
rent it from the government, you should own it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That is so true. Why just gay people just for
the homeowns, homeowners, billion homeowners, people that own a home.
H No, I'll see what he did there now.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, in Florida, the cost of living is high for
for a number of reasons. One of them is it's
mostly it's very popular, but also there are these other.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Things happening there.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A lot of people have a second home there, they
have a vacation rental, there are corporate owned houses. And
then and this goes a little deeper into what we've
seen over the last several years, since the pandemic Blackrock
and Vanguarden, State Street buying up all the houses in
Middle America and making it almost impossible to buy one.
What if we did it like this, and I'm going
to say this is a free market capitalist guy. What
(06:33):
if no property tax on your home, you have a
second home or a long term rental property tax? You
have a vacation rental, double property tax? Oh, corporate owned
corp corporate owned houses.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
We get a vacation rental. Okay, purgatory. I don't want
to pay double well. Exemption for media, no exemption for
right wingers, Yeah, thank you?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Okay. Corporate owned triple property tax. Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street
owned quadruple property tax.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They can afford it, That's what I hear. Vanguard, I mean,
let's call black Rock, Yeah, owns everything.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Now, Steve, don't you think if you had no property
tax on your home home? I think double property tax
on a vacation rental wouldn't be that bad.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I guess you're right. It is a good point because
I have a home in Harris County, which has well,
I think the second or third highest property tax rate
in America, and the home I have in Colorado it's
extremely low property tax comparatively.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So if we did that, wouldn't you come out way
over the top on that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You've convinced me I'm good. I just skipped over the
part where I wasn't paying property tax in Houston. That's
a relief.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
The only problem with this idea is black Rock Vanguard
State Street. You can't have laws in place specifically targeted
towards specific companies. So how would we How would we
word the law so that they're paying quadruple property tax?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It'd be over all companies then of a certain if
they reach a certain level of value to their company,
if it's worth over a billion dollars, they should pay more, right,
I mean, that's how the Democrats look at it. For
regular taxes. Tax the rich, tax the rich companies.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
That's what's so amazing. They don't see it that way. No,
they're just like, they.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Don't like this, but they like that, And it's kind
of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't want to give private equity firms who are
largely responsible for the artificial shortage of housing and obscene
price increases, a tax break on hundreds of millions of homes,
if not billions of dollars in property tax exemptions and
transfer that I would transfer that burden to individuals.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I wouldn't want to do that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You're say, the only problem with this is that that
what you're explaining, they're not I think the only problem
with it is that it's not real. It's just make believe.
It's fantasy, which I encourage. But that's the problem. I'm confused.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
What's not real?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
No property tax for us well Florida. Yeah, I know.
But all that stuff you explained about how Johnson ain't
paying this tax, now I'm not paying that tax and
we played double tax over here. No, that's actually happening,
is it?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
A few things about that. That's the problem. Number one,
if you would just get elected president or a hell
just governor, then you might stand a chance at making
this happen. Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So, I don't know if you've heard of this or not,
but whatever DeSantis does the governor of Florida, Abbott likes
to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
A couple months.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Later, you know you're onto something there. He probably hadn't
heard about this hit, but when he does, he's gonna
suddenly have a brilliant idea.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Now I know what the rest of you are thinking,
what about those of us who don't live in Texas
or Florida?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
What about those? Well? Move I don't mean to brag,
but our radio show is so good.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
How good is it?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Some very powerful people in the governments of multiple states
surrounding our region listen to this radio show and might
even be seduced by this idea.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
They could follow our lead, as you say.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Different governors, attorney generals, federal national senators.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Sure, people that can actually do something about like it.
Let's do it. Let's go with it. Yeah, go ahead
and stamp that done. Taking care of problem. Solve what
else we got? Oh? That gambling thing. We're gonna have
to solve that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Okay, when we get back from commercial break, we're going
to talk.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
About Remember, it involves the mafia.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
It involves the mafia. I thought I thought it involved
what was it, the urban community and the mafia. Wait,
Italian guys are watching basketball.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh, it's not just basketball. It's bigger than that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Wow. I can't wait to see how big these balls get.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's Friday Friday, almost miss Friday waits for no one
burned a little rest and relaxation. Walton and Johnson Radio
Network got an AI story to tell or something, because
you got robot noise, like robot music going. So is
it about Is it about Ai? Am I really that predictable?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That that's not.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Always trying to figure you out, trying to stay one stamp,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That does sound like something I would do. But no,
that's not what this is about.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
No, well, then I guess I was wrong.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is the music of a nineteen eighty He's electro
star Egyptian lovers, music produced on his gold Rowland eight
Oho eight drum machine, a beat making tool that helped
ignite hip hop music, Billiod, That.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Same thing as in the synthesizers you collect.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well, technically a drum machine is a synthesizer for drum sounds. Yes,
for percussion. Yes, Steve, that's correct. Use these words every
now and then, see Steve gets it, Billie.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, hush, both of you. Hush. I'm trying
to enjoy the music. Okay, stop, okay, yeah, okay, you
called me out on that one true. Wait did you
say it was lbj's choice.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
As you know LBJ Lyndon B. Johnson just loved black
people and rap music.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's why.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
From now until January fourth, twenty twenty six. Excuse me,
the following things will be on display and his presidential
library in Austin, Texas. Chuck D's handwritten lyrics to the
song fight the Power.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yet out best best Education.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
That would have worked better if it didn't start with
words can I fight power?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Too Strong?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Do all of his songs start off with? That's one
album version of Lewis there we go?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Black Swede hat, Yeah, I think ye boy, you do
that so good?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Black Swede Fedora hat and Adidas superstars belonging to run DMC,
Egyptian Lovers, gold Rawlindato eight, a kangle hat owned by
and worn by L cool J and the steady rock crew.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Who knows what's that guy's name that actualy for it
all the time? You mean mister Oh no, I mean
the guy in movies that says it all the time,
the snakes off that plane and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh Samuel L.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Jackson, Yeah, didn't he wear one in kangaroo hats?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He did wear a yes should Let's see a pair
of drumsticks from Quest Love MC lights customed Timberlands got
a pair of.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Sticks from a buddy of mine, who plays drums in
a band. Maybe you heard of him Fred? Oh uh yeah,
I thought Cowboman. I thought those were Steve's drumsticks. I
got some too. He throws that to in the audience.
If you're real quick, you can snatch them out of
the air.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Am I the only guy on the show that doesn't
have a pair of cowboy mouths drumsticks?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You don't have any? No, you ever go to the shows?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Plps if you go to the show, you ever mean?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, I've been, but I didn't get a pair of drumsticks.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, anyway, the point I'm trying to the point I'm
trying to get as LBJ Lennon B. Johnson, hardcore supporter
of urban music, especially the rap music. I had no
idea he's going to have the from now until early
January hip Hop in America the mixtape exhibit, and it's
all of the just some of the edgiest rappers from
the golden years of.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Rap music billy and that would be what years exactly,
I like.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
The nineteen eighties, the nineties, that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Does it bother anybody that LBJ died in seventy three? Okay,
so I think this is a little. I'm gotten a
disconnection here.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I think you're forgetting that technically explaining that out loud
would involve numbers and a light amount of math.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And what do we always say about math? Don't do
the live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But what's the other thing we say about math? It's racist?
Math is racist? Billy, Yes, And you're doing math right
now on the radio.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The oldest trick in the book. It's the oldest trick
in the book. I believe I fell for it.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's true. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
The point is just LBJ. And you know how he
loved the blacks. You know, he was always oh yeah,
he was always known for his love of the blacks.
Did everything he could help him out, Yeah, he really did.
And what was the other thing? He really loved ordering pants.
He loved to order pants. He liked a lot of
room that crotch, didn't he he really did. He enjoyed,
I believe. But he hated when it would cut his bunghole.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Well, who doesn't hate that? Okay, there's a couple of
days like it.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Now.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Another thing that crutch down saying, it's always a little
too tight. So when you make them up, give me
a each that I rent out there because they cut me.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It's just like.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Riding the water fants. These are almost the best that
I've had anywhere in the United States. But when I
gained a little weight, they cut me under there. So
leave me.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You never do have much march.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
In that if you can't leave me about it in
age from the part of the Zipprit and around under
my back to my bung hole.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Man, oh man?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Idiocracy is so real? Ain't it the truth? Why?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Why Lbj's library. He was one of the most racist
presidents of his time period that we know of. Anyway,
what did he say? He said, send all the blacks
back to Africa? Or what did he say? I think
that was Lincoln? Oh that was Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
No, LBJ. They kind of got along in that topic.
According to people close to LBJ.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
He famously said he'd have those voting Democrat till the
end of time.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But how is he going to do that?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
With the War on Poverty, which was just a lot
of welfare.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
He basically said, he'll.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Give him, give him a couple of you know, throw
some bread at him, and they'll vote for you for
the rest of their lives.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Breton circus is basically that with more welfare will get
poor black people so dependent on the government, they'll always
support our political party.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And that was his position.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
And now you could check out Hip Hop America the
Mixtape exhibit from now until January fourth.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
At the LBJ Library. Do they also have a special
section where you can read all about lbj's civil rights activities.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It turns out that's not a big part of the exhibit.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
President back in the sixties, you know, after Kennedy, I
think Joelanda Jones had him killed. So since he was
president back in those tumultuous years, how about that of
the sixties. I'm sure he had a lot of important
documents and decisions that were made regarding the civil rights
(16:50):
for the black folks. You know, I'm glad you brought
up Jolanda Jones. Boy, she is a well she's from
the hood, you know. So she's a rough and tumble gal.
You mess with her, you gonna get cut, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
So it turns out Jelanda Jones is not from the hood.
Well she said she was, non It turns out Jelanda
Jones is actually from a pretty nice family, a pretty
nice neighborhood, grew up with a little I mean, remember
she was what is it, a heptathlete. She competed in
the Pan America Games. It's my understanding she's not actually
(17:24):
from a terrible neighborhood. But anyway, she claims, having grown
up that you know that it wasn't great, and some
people have called that into question.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I do know this, this assumption that we have that
the next Shila Jackson Lee was going to be Jasmine Crockett,
and it turns out it is not written in stone.
Jolanda Jones, the state representative from Texas currently running for
Congress in the same district. Mind you, he's really giving
Jasmin Crockett a run for her money with comments like this, I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Not gonna putch you back in your face. I'm gonna
go across your neck.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Wow. And the little hand thing when you do that.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Is not she right across the next She was talking
about Republicans this week on CNN.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Here she is again, we need to wipe out every
Republican in New York, in California, in Illinois. So no
one can make me feel bad.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
So no one can make me feel now, mind you
She's saying this to a white.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Liberal, and that white lady had nothing to say back
to her. No, we're just nodding her head to nod
at her head, like yeah, just just don't don't attack
me about that.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Well, you understand the hierarchy here, An affluent white liberal
woman on cable news can't interrupt an angry black lesbian
when she's talking. That would be sacrilege lesbian. What Yeah,
Jolanda Jones, who claims to first I've heard about this.
She also claims to be a devout Catholic. That's why
I like herself. Well, sure, yeah, no, it's not the
first time she has made.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
How many devout Catholics go against all the Catholic teachings,
But yet they're devout like Nancy Pelosi and well so
many others. Joe Biden comes to mind. They're big on
killing unborn children. The abortion is like a thing for
a Democrat, and yet the Catholic churches used to be
against it. I don't know where they are now with
this new pope.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Okay, so the technically, the HRC will tell you there's
no official Catholic argument against having lesbian sex.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Their issue was two guys together. Oh, if a man
never says in the Bible, if a woman lay with
a woman, so they get a pass.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Thou shalt not scissor with thine sister.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's probably in the new version, probably the right.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Anyway, with all that be had said, this isn't even
the first time that Jolanda has gone viral recently.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I almost forgot about this.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Back in August, she said that deporting all the illegals
was a.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Lot like the Holocaust.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Now, I ask you, when Anne Frank and her family
got rounded up, did they send them back to their
home country.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Tell them to get out of here and don't you
dare come back?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Did they tell did they take it back where they
came from and let them go and just say bye?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
No, that's not what the Holocaust was. It's funny how
many of these politicians today are such experts on Hitler
Nazis the Holocaust. That big fat boy up bear in Chicago,
that pritchgar guy. Yeah, he tried to lay it out
for us yesterday that he knows all about how Trump
is basically just a young and up and coming Hitler,
(20:15):
because and the reason you know so much about who's
Hitler and who isn't they have a Holocaust museum there
in Chicago. Did you know that? That's brilliant and so
that makes him really wise.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I'm glad you brought that up. I want to get
to that in a minute too. But real quick, here's
Joelanda and.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Then integration happening. Everybody thought they accept this. They don't
accept this. They're showing us who they are. We should
believe in and we better have a curse to stand
up otherwise we will fall for anything. And in this
country we will be defeated, deported. I mean, we will
lose all of our rights. And if you think it
can't happen, it can. And I will liken this to
the Holocaust people.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, okay, finally here Well Friday, wait, I'm not ready.
Speaker 1 (21:08):

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
