Speaker 1 (00:00):
White House unveiled its Christmas decorations. The Nativity scene looks
a little different because the three Wise men were deported.
But I mean, other than that, it's beautiful. Yeah. We
can do without them, right, Look, I mean they weren't
supposed to be here. Oh yeah, they didn't have an idea.
They're not the right people, you know how they are?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I do.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Indeed, Good morning, everybody, Thank you for joining us. A
delightful Wednesday, A little brisk outside, a little.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Forty four right now, right where we're sitting in Houston.
Sure colder in a lot of places though, Yeah, but
warmer interview.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Our listeners in Memphis are twenty nine degrees today.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, but they're in a right thinking state.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I got proven yesterday during the election because the conservative
candidate won the special election. At this point, now he's
extended his victory to eight points, so that looks.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Good, Yeah, exactly. Now, some people thought it would be
a double digit win. This is a district in Nashville,
kind of the edge of Nashville that Donald Trump won
by twenty points last year, and so this wasn't quite
as big of a victory. It gives you kind of
a lay of the land of what people think of
the Republicans after almost a year of right wing governing
(01:19):
of the nation. And also I'm told that in special
elections in off years, statistically, I don't know what this
even means, but that Republicans generally don't do well. I
can see that, regardless of what's going on at the time.
I don't know why that is, or you know, what
it is that motivates or galvanizes Democrat voters in an
off year in a special election. What's unique about that,
(01:42):
I couldn't begin to tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think part of it is that more of them
don't have steady jobs to report to, not all, some don't,
and so they get motivated to go out and do
a little voting. There are other ways to motivate Democrats
to vote, by the way, you.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Know, it's something to be said about that when you're
when you're not busy doing anything else, you can do
a lot of destruction. You know, get a hobby or something.
Would it kill you to collect spoons?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Really?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
What it? Anyway thimbles all kinds of things. But you know,
I do think most people are well meaning. I think
most people have good intentions and with that in mind.
Maybe I'm just naive, but a lot of people are
motivated by fake media. There's still so much of it.
Even in the rise of Donald Trump for the second time,
the internet's filled with fake news. I'll give you an example. No,
(02:35):
Costco is not suing to overturn Trump's tariffs. That's not
what that's a news story. You may have seen your
aunt Patty the cat Lady posts that on book face.
The corporate media falsely reported that Costco is suing to
overturn President Trump's tariffs. In reality, the company is seeking
the right to recoup import duties paid should the tariffs
(02:56):
be overturned in a separate case before the Supreme Tour.
So it's complicated, but it's not what they're reporting. And yeah,
that's just kind of the nature of things right now.
Corporate me even Fox News kind of got tricked into
misreporting that one. But you know, probably not how most
people heard the news anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Most like you said, most people are good, right thinking,
do the right thing. Americans, they don't get any attention
in the media. They get no attention in the news.
So the crazy ones, the weirdos, the whack jobs are
the ones that are getting all the focus and at
some point some other people think, well, that must be
the way normal people do, because that's all they see
(03:36):
on TV.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Over the last eight to ten years, people have seen
so many different examples of misleading national news stories, more
than I could remember my whole lifetime. Or it's possible
we just got better at identifying, you know, things like
Russian Gate for example, the Egene Carol accusations. And you know,
why would anyone still believe the mainstream media?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Is there one outlet out there that you would consider
the least bias sort of the most straight news.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Uh, you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I actually think. I actually think that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The mainstream news still does a very good job of
just presenting facts. I don't know if you can tell
that that voice you just heard is a man most
of you probably remember he used to be the president,
and even he as glib and as good of a
(04:35):
liar as he is, he still had trouble getting that
out with a straight face. Wasn't that an interesting thing?
He couldn't just say that, It's like he had to
really think about it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I guess I'm gonna give him a little give him.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
A little poor ops here, you know January six, the pandemic.
How could you live through the pandemic and still think
the media can just be believed at face value?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I mean, what year did they ask that question? That
was that's a new sound by Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yes, Even if he had answered it during his term
all those years ago, it would have still been wrong.
But today it's even harder to hear.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That is Barack Obama doing a town hall style live
interview on stage at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American
Art with a media personality named Olivia Walton, and she
is gleefully smiling as she says that. She's like, yeah, yeah,
the media tells you the truth.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And she was smiling like that the minute she asked
the question. Took him a while to come around to
an answer, but it seemed like she already knew what
he was going to say.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Look, we're just average guys. We don't claim I'm not
an attorney, you're not a senior editor some newsroom, you know.
But I remember vividly the mainstream media telling us that
the suggesting that the pandemic started in a laboratory in
Wuhan was fake news. There was no island in the
(05:55):
Caribbean where teenage girls were taken to be raped.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And thesemus out there, oh, y'all are just crazy, you know,
and even just silly little things like even though your
pants couldn't mask a fart, somehow the mask could stop
the virus. What also, more recently, remember the the Somali
fraud funding terrorism story. Sure that was supposedly a debunked
(06:21):
conspiracy theory right up until it's now mainstream news.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah. Trump, during a lengthy cabinet meeting on Tuesday, said
he did not want Somali immigrants in the US, saying
residents of the war ravaged Eastern African country are too
reliant on our social safety net and add very little
to the United States economy. The president said, Somalians need
to go back to Somalia and fix it. And I
(06:46):
just wonder, like, as everyone's getting real offended, well racist,
they would say, what if Somalia was a country in
Eastern Europe? Would you have had the same What if
he was saying, you all need to go back to Estonia?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, get it right.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, you guys need to all go back to Turkmenistan
or well, I guess i'd be muzzlim pretty clear.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
They were brought here for a reason, and they're not
just it's a plan. It's always been a plan to
put that group of people in that small an area
geographically so that they can control a vote, and then
it spreads out from there. They know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I like living in a country where people have the
right to believe what they want, and dress how they want,
and eat whatever food they want, consume substances if they
choose to gamble, if they choose to own a firearm,
and those rights are just simply not allowed in a
Sharia government. If Somalians are so great for our country,
(07:47):
why is it that their country fell apart so badly?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And it's so bizarre. If they did come here seeking
a better life the American way, why are they so
ill bent on turning it into Somalia?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's called Wednesday Humpday.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Someday I'm a right hump Pump pump, pump pumpy.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Quick reminder, kids, it's Christmas time. Man. While you probably
get to spend the holiday season with your family, your
loved ones, you get to mill about enjoy Christmas parades
and holiday markets and that sort of thing. There are
people among us who don't get to enjoy that stuff,
and some of them gave the ultimate service, served paid
(08:31):
the ultimate price to their country, military veterans who did
not come home in the same shape they were in
when they left. And I know, you know, you don't
want to be bummed out at Christmas time, but imagine
how they feel. These are people that need help going
to the bathroom or fishing with their children. And if
you have sympathy for them, please go to Wheelchairs for
Warriors dot org. Make a donation. You can make a
(08:52):
real difference. It's not you know, some radically bizarre charity
that sends money overseas to Somali pirate. They buy wheelchairs
for military votes.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
That's it. Yesterday was Giving Tuesday, and we mentioned your
ability to give, especially on that day. Some give more
than others. The CEO of Dell gave a little over
six billion dollars. We're not expecting you to do that, no, no,
or we're not either. But any bit you give is
(09:23):
very helpful. So if you forgot yesterday and you procrastinated
about giving, it's not too late. Today would be a
great time to give.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, we know, we're not the biggest radio show in America,
but we're pretty big. If everybody listening to us went
and gave twenty bucks right now, we could buy a
whole bunch of wheelchairs for a whole bunch of deserving veterans.
There's dozens of people on a waiting list, and we
were able to raise a lot of money this year
for them, and it still wasn't enough to pay for
all those wheelchairs. I you know, when you meet these
(09:52):
guys wom into and you think, wow, I can't believe
what a nice person you are, what a great service
you did to your country. Why isn't the VA helping
you out? It's kind of mind blowing how broken the
system is. And even with you know, we get it,
the you know, this is the guy, the guy in charge,
is the guy we wanted right now, it's still ain't perfect.
So anyway, Wheelchairs for Warriors dot Org. And if you're
(10:13):
like the CFO at a company, the you know, the
accountant or the treasure or whatever your job title is,
and you're in charge of the surplus amount for the budget,
this is a great way to get a tax right
off and feel a little better about whatever shady thing
you did at your company this year, you know, selling
asbestos to people with cancer or whatever it was. We're
not here to judge. You make up for it right
(10:34):
now by giving a wheelchair to some very deserving military veteran.
All right, book time, everybody here on your favorite morning
radio show. We like to tell you about stuff you
can read. And apparently the outgoing mayor of one of
the big cities where we're on the radio ad is
working on a book. Very exciting. Well, I am writing
a book. I do not have the title.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
That would be a work in progress. It's gonna be good, good.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
A lot of things that I will not say. I'll
say I'm leaving it for the book read about Okay, what, Yeah,
I don't As I mentioned, I don't know the title,
but I.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Have a lot of chapter, a lot of chapters. You know. Oh,
she gonna tells her to you.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Most reasonable recomb But all right, So that's LaToya Cantrell
working on a book.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
May be called recall. Supposedly it's about the fact that
she was recalled and it didn't work. She's still there,
although nobody's really seen her and she hasn't done anything
since the summer.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It says in the description here that sound bites actually
from March twenty twenty three. It's new to us. We
just discovered it a minute ago. We didn't know that existed.
I did find a that's a little that's LaToya cantrall
of New Orleans. By the way, I don't know, I
fact you did mention confused with people and LaToya the Destroyer.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, she's known as better different writing is when you
google LaToya and a book and a different stories pop up.
This one was just the beginning of this is just great.
LaToya Kentrell's biography reflects a rare blend of neighborhood activism,
trail blazing politics, and civic ambition. She transformed from community
(12:18):
organizer to city leader, guiding New Orleans through post Katrina renewal. Okay, yeah, activism, ambition,
community organizing. Didn't put anything in there about all the
crimes and the fraud and all the different things that
she has been so obviously guilty of. But the last
(12:41):
part guiding New Orleans post Katrina's renewal, I don't know
she was elected. She didn't. She didn't start serving until
twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, May seventh, twenty eighteen. She was inaugurated.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Was a two thousand and five If that is a
little bit post renewal time, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That is over a decade later. Yeah, the people like, what,
that's what's in the book. I look, LaToya, I hate
to break it to you, but you did not fix
uh New Orleans post contrina. I feel like LaToya Cantrell
could probably sell more books if she gave the book
an honest title, like uh, I got away with it,
(13:25):
or going to the bone zone with my security guard.
Sure she got away with that too. Breaking up marriages?
Didn't she do that? Yeah? Uh illegally sleeping overnight in
a city owned department while I did something with another
woman's husband or was it illegal? I don't know. I'm
not a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Sure, I'm sure that's between her and the Uh. Well,
the public decided they didn't want her, so she's gone now.
By LaToya, she had term limits. I don't know why
I said that. Yeah, I know, but.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Still she's she's got to go early January. The first
week or so of January, new mayor comes in and
the new story about the new mayor. How is she
going to deal with this? Trump fella? Because he's forcing
the National Guard into the city, and you know how
they act. They come in and they just start raping
and pillaging like wild vikings just off the boat.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh. Actually, I think the governor of her state is
on board with having the National Guard protect one of
the most dangerous violent cities in the country. And he'll
be joining us at eight am today if well, it'll
be fun.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, and nowhere in the story did it say she
is against it. Just whoever wrote the story said these
are the challenges that she'll face when she becomes New
Orleans next mayor. Wellll this Trump fella first and foremost,
what are we gonna do? Oh and a little budget
shortfall of over two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, maybe you guys could worry less about Trump and
more about the financial situation and the crime in the city.
I know you hate Trump. New Orleans could really use
some help.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
What day is it?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
What am I gonna do? Make a big announcement? It's Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Jones and Radio Network
White House unveiled its Christmas decorations. The Nativity scene looks
a little different because the three Wise men were deported.
But I mean, other than that, it's beautiful. Yeah. We
can do without them, right, Look, I mean they weren't

They're not the right people, you know how they are?

(10:34):
now by giving a wheelchair to some very deserving military veteran.
All right, book time, everybody here on your favorite morning
radio show. We like to tell you about stuff you
can read. And apparently the outgoing mayor of one of
the big cities where we're on the radio ad is
working on a book. Very exciting. Well, I am writing
a book. I do not have the title.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
That would be a work in progress. It's gonna be good, good.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
A lot of things that I will not say. I'll
say I'm leaving it for the book read about Okay, what, Yeah,
I don't As I mentioned, I don't know the title,
but I.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Have a lot of chapter, a lot of chapters. You know. Oh,
she gonna tells her to you.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Most reasonable recomb But all right, So that's LaToya Cantrell
working on a book.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
May be called recall. Supposedly it's about the fact that
she was recalled and it didn't work. She's still there,
although nobody's really seen her and she hasn't done anything
since the summer.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It says in the description here that sound bites actually
from March twenty twenty three. It's new to us. We
just discovered it a minute ago. We didn't know that existed.
I did find a that's a little that's LaToya cantrall
of New Orleans. By the way, I don't know, I
fact you did mention confused with people and LaToya the Destroyer.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, she's known as better different writing is when you
google LaToya and a book and a different stories pop up.
This one was just the beginning of this is just great.
LaToya Kentrell's biography reflects a rare blend of neighborhood activism,
trail blazing politics, and civic ambition. She transformed from community
(12:18):
organizer to city leader, guiding New Orleans through post Katrina renewal. Okay, yeah, activism, ambition,
community organizing. Didn't put anything in there about all the
crimes and the fraud and all the different things that
she has been so obviously guilty of. But the last
(12:41):
part guiding New Orleans post Katrina's renewal, I don't know
she was elected. She didn't. She didn't start serving until
twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, May seventh, twenty eighteen. She was inaugurated.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Was a two thousand and five If that is a
little bit post renewal time, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That is over a decade later. Yeah, the people like, what,
that's what's in the book. I look, LaToya, I hate
to break it to you, but you did not fix
uh New Orleans post contrina. I feel like LaToya Cantrell
could probably sell more books if she gave the book
an honest title, like uh, I got away with it,
(13:25):
or going to the bone zone with my security guard.
Sure she got away with that too. Breaking up marriages?
Didn't she do that? Yeah? Uh illegally sleeping overnight in
a city owned department while I did something with another
woman's husband or was it illegal? I don't know. I'm
not a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Sure, I'm sure that's between her and the Uh. Well,
the public decided they didn't want her, so she's gone now.
By LaToya, she had term limits. I don't know why
I said that. Yeah, I know, but.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Still she's she's got to go early January. The first
week or so of January, new mayor comes in and
the new story about the new mayor. How is she
going to deal with this? Trump fella? Because he's forcing
the National Guard into the city, and you know how
they act. They come in and they just start raping
and pillaging like wild vikings just off the boat.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh. Actually, I think the governor of her state is
on board with having the National Guard protect one of
the most dangerous violent cities in the country. And he'll
be joining us at eight am today if well, it'll
be fun.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, and nowhere in the story did it say she
is against it. Just whoever wrote the story said these
are the challenges that she'll face when she becomes New
Orleans next mayor. Wellll this Trump fella first and foremost,
what are we gonna do? Oh and a little budget
shortfall of over two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, maybe you guys could worry less about Trump and
more about the financial situation and the crime in the city.
I know you hate Trump. New Orleans could really use
some help.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
What day is it?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
What am I gonna do? Make a big announcement? It's Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (14:59):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
