Speaker 1 (00:00):
We go again. I mean, I mean, I mean good parting. Hey,
how's everybody feeling huh, Well, we're okay, I'm feeling great.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
I mean, it's a there's a lot happening today. We're alive,
we're here, Good morning, everybody. Four people in Los Angeles
were arrested for plotting to release bombs, and amazingly, none
of them were Nicholas Cage. Oh that's funny. It's the
first one I thought of. Yeah, it was the first
guy I thought it too. Not him though, oh will Yeah.
But we're here, everybody, and you're alive, and so thank
you for joining us today. It's Wednesday. We are We're lsday.

(00:31):
Who does a radio show on a Wednesday. It's a
good point. We're one week away from Christmas Eve. It's
getting really freaking close here to the holidays. Gentlemen. That
means you have seven more days to start your Christmas shopping. Women,
you should have been done weeks ago. What's wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Isn't it great? There's a difference.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, it's true. No, you're right there. There are two
different genders and that's the only way it's ever going
to be.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Woke up this morning. First thing, just turn to your
computer on email pops up. First question out. For some reason,
people come to us because we see, like we know,
stuff was about the Rolling Stones. Is it true what
I heard? The Rolling Stones aren't going to tour next year.
It's true they won't tour next year. And it's kind

(01:19):
of scaring people because apparently they said Keith Richards's health
is an issue. If that's the case, doesn't that mean
none of us are going to survive the next year.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, he is in his late eighties. I think. I mean,
at some point you have to stop making rock and
roll music. It's kind of amazing it's gone on this long,
isn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
He's just he's never gonna go away.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Right, Well, we thought the guy did a lot of
drugs back in the day and probably had a lot
of unprotected sex, and odds are whatever it is that's
keeping him alive would have killed any of us a
long time ago. Absolutely, we don't know what it is.
We do know the Clintons are pushing back against calls
to testify live in the Epstein hearings. That's far and
Donald Trump's going to make some huge announcement today. Maybe

(02:03):
it's about the Rolling stones Maybe, I don't think so, though.
Gas prices for Christmas expected to drop, Hamas officials warning
of more massacres like the Bondi Beach thinking about a
global ghad.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, they don't really need to warn us, I don't think.
I mean, they kind of expect it, don't we. Yeah,
I guess we kind of expected it after a while,
and it's been more than a while dealing with those
people over there. Kind of get a SIPs for who
they are and what they're about.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, and you don't need us to tell you that
you're cold. It's cold. An arctic blast has tickled its
way down to Houston and the DFW area. Very chilly
storms lurking they say, otherwise pleasant for the time being.
Lurking Texas swagger confirmed. For those of you listening in
the Lone.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Star state today, it's cold as a you know, relative
depending on what you're looking for. Here, it's twenty five.
It should be more like about five degrees, and it
should be snowing more. But in Houston it's sixty right now. Now,
that's cold in Houston, sadly enough.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, well, it is, of course.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
With the rain and the humidity, it feel a lot colder.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Supposed to get colder than that? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh good news. Exciting Christmas Day right now they say
it'll be about seventy eight degrees.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Oh well, then I guess it's not going to get colder.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Get your Christmas tan ready.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Exciting. Meanwhile, in the Big Easy, the Feds are dropping
fifteen million dollars for the kids tutoring. Isn't that fun?
Public schools need some help, so apparently the federal government
stepping in. So that's exciting news. Memphis cops are racking
up four thousand plus arrests, finally locking up some bad guys.
That's awesome news. In Atlanta and throughout the state of Georgia,

(03:53):
you guys, just keep.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Doing your thing.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Not much going on over there at them. Yeah it's okay, Yeah,
that's okay. Oklahoma, Mississippi. Everybody tuned in this morning. Thanks
so much for joining us for the Walton and Johnson
radio legacy. I've been following this thing on social media
that blows my mind. In Afghanistan, they say seventeen million
people are starving this winter, but you wouldn't know it
if you look on social media. On Instagram, there's this

(04:17):
account where this white guy from America drives around Afghanistan
and a Lamborghini with a very attractive Russian woman, and
they're fine, and everywhere they go people are nice to them.
They make it look like Afghanistan's a wonderful place. And
then you read the news about what's happening in Afghanistan
and it's terrible there. So why does this white kid

(04:38):
from America get to drive around the country with a
Lamborghini and a hot Russian girl, high fiving the Taliban
everywhere he goes, Cause it's cutter propaganda. We are now
at a point where Middle Easter and oilsars are paying
young social media influencers to go over to places like,
I mean Arab countries or Afghanistan and make it look

(04:59):
like it's not that bad over there. I don't know
what the point of doing it is, but I can't
stop watching the videos. They're fascinating because I know it's propaganda,
but it's so well put together.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
You think they also probably decides having to pay the
people they're putting the little show on, right, don't they
also have to pay the Taliban not to kill them?

Speaker 2 (05:17):
See that's what I would have thought. Or are there
the Taliban's part of it. I don't quite understand it.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yea, somehow they've got to get something out of it,
or they're gonna want to take some heads off here.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Maybe taking heads off is part of it. Maybe they're
being rewarded with people they can behead. I mean, it's
the Taliban. They don't want Like you and I could
be bribed with skiing or you know, beer or whiskey
or something, but this is the Taliban. What do they want?

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Boy? I wish i'd well, no, I don't really care.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
It probably involves a goat. I would imagine. I wou'd
start there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, it's so good. It's like Christmas in my mouth.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Meet Christmas.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
The healthcare subsidies the ACA had there about to vanish.
The government hasn't figured out what to do about that.
That's the bad news that's going to be happening soon.
Here's the good news. Starting January first, twenty twenty six,
the one Big Beautiful Bill kicks in. I never like
the name of it, but I do like saving money
on taxes. You're going to the average family is going

(06:17):
to keep thirty seven hundred and fifty two dollars in
their pocket. The child tax credit's going to jump in.
That's twenty two hundred bucks for kids. No tax on tips,
Servers and bartenders keep their money. Still not sure what's
going to happen with the only fans models.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, that's going to be tricky. Plus where are we
on the whole? I can get a child deduction for
my dogs.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't know what the latest is on that. That
would be amazing and.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I want to see somebody get behind that and really
start pushing that right away.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
This is cool. You'll be able to deduct interest on
American made cars and trucks. There's going to be a
one thousand dollars baby bonus seated account for every newborn.
I don't know how I feel about that, but whatever,
that's part of it. Small business owners get an extra
twenty three percent to reduction. I like that. Do we count?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Not sure?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah? One hundred percent bonus, Paul. Bonus depreciation is back.
Businesses are going to grow faster. The estate tax exemption
doubled to fifteen million dollars. So if you're about to
inherit millions of dollars, I'm not, But if you are,
who's that for it. It gives us all home, I guess,
finally a chance to if only I had a wealthy

(07:25):
uncle who is dying of something like Yeah that too.
Bigger standard deduction equals simpler taxes for ninety percent of Americans.
No more twenty twenty six tax hike, more money in
your hands, America First Economics is officially kicking in. But again,
just to repeat a point, they really need to figure
out that thing with the Affordable Care Act. Sooner everyone's
going to start paying a lot more money for healthcare.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I'm sure they're working on it, right. I don't what
else are they got to do. I don't think they are.
Trump's going to make some big announcement tonight or this
afternoon or something. Maybe that has something to do with it. Yesterday,
the adorable Caroline Levitt, who is part of a new
Vanity Fair article that makes the entire Trump administration look
ridiculous and stupid.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It does. I'm sorry, I was an embarrassment. I don't
know why they agreed to do it.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Don't you think that was the point from Vanity Fair's
point of view.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I don't know why they agreed to do it.
But anyway, yesterday Caroline Levitt made an announcement about what
the announcement's going to do.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
We greatly look forward to President Trump addressing the nation
tomorrow night, nine o'clock Eastern. I hope your audience will
tune in and Americans across the country will tune in
to hear from their president as well about the historic
accomplishments that he has garnered for our country over the
past year. If you look at the security of our border,
if you look at stopping Joe Biden's in fiction right

(08:41):
in its tracks, bringing down gas prices to the lowest
level in five years. President Trump will be talking about
what's to come. The best is truly yet to come,
as he often says, and so he'll be addressing the
country about all of his historic accomplishments over the past year,
and maybe teasing some policy that will be coming in
the new year as well.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
So it's not a State of the Union, No, that's
in January. That should be fun. I love. Yeah, it'll
be three hours long and you're gonna want to watch
the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Will Nancy Pelosi be there.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I guess she has to be, or I don't know,
maybe not. She doesn't have to be AOC's blown it
off before, right, Yeah, I don't know what's going to
happen today. It should be interesting. We're curious about it.
Hopefully it's positive, Hopefully something good. And there is some
news about the labor market today as well. According to
our cute little brond blonde press.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Secretary, President Trump is focused on putting Americans back to work,
and if you look at the job gains historically throughout
this past year, what's most remarkable about the labor market
right now is that President Chaump is putting American citizens
back into the labor force. And we know under the
previous administration in Joe Biden that what one hundred percent
of the jobs gained were for foreign born workers. These

(09:57):
were for people who flooded our country and took the
jobs of hard working Americans.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Now, according to JD. Evans, that's also the reason why
houses are so expensive right now. Oh really, Yeah. The
Vice President keeps pushing this point that there's a link
between the high cost of housing and all the non
citizens coming into the country.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
A little surprise by when the Democrats talk all the
time about affordability. Democrats say, you know, things aren't affordable.
This isn't affordable. This has gotten more expensive. Drugs have
gotten more expensive, Housing has gotten more expensive. And you
know what, they're right, and it was because of them.

(10:37):
It ain't that hard. If you go back to the
four years of the Biden administration, why did housing get
so expensive double in price during the Biden administration, It's
because Joe Biden let in twenty million illegal immigrants who
took homes that ought by right go to American citizens
and to the.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
People of this great state.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean, he's right, I'm mad. Now, let's get some pitchful.
I know people forget about this sometimes, but dealing with
the immigration crisis is not just about lowering crime, although
that's certainly a lot of it. It's about higher wages
for working class people. If there's a lot of low
skilled workers competing for the same job, guess what happens
to the salary of the person that has that job.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's too early to guess.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
It goes down just basic supplying. De man'l. You want
to go get some pitchforks.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
I know where we keep them.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
I'm sorry, why do we need pitchforks?

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I forgot saying I'm roused up by JD. Vance. Grab
some pitchforks. We also need is this one? I'll yeah,
that might sound. Hey, we also need some brooms we
can light on fire. I don't think we have torches,
but that'll work. Get some straw room and some pitchforks,
and let's who going after? I forget now what all over?

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I know, I know it's been a few years, but
traditionally I think white people marching with tiki torches is
not a good look.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Guys, that we're going after Biden for letting in twenty
million uninvited people to make our housing prices go up.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, he's already out of power, guy, can he just
said he doesn't remember doing that. What's the point of
doing that? Guys, he has no idea what happened. He's
completely forgotten about it. And also he's lost all his power,
And wouldn't it make more sense to just fix the problem.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Oh well, you thought, maybe we have one named Frankenstein,
you know, get after the monster. You know scenes there,
they'd be fun.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
But in this case, the monster is an elderly man
who is a severe case of dementia. He doesn't remember
doing any of this. Guys, who sounds.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Exactly like the guy in that movie where he went
like that, Yeah, that's probably pretty much it. Yeah, yeah,
and then the monster sounded like that too. That's a
good point. But uh what, But I still I don't
think that that we're not We're not going to go
get Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, besides, that's a long walk. Where is he Delaware?
You want to go to Delaware. Nobody wants to go
to delaw Nobody wants to go to Delaware. That's why
it sucks so much. You've never heard anybody retire and
move to Delaware, and you never will. No, well except
Joe Biden. I guess I guess he was already there.
You don't know where he is. Yeah, yeah, that's a
good point anyway. So that's gonna happen today. Trump's gonna
make some big announcement. We're gonna get all the illegal

(13:10):
immigrants out of here.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
So hopefully tell somebody Merry Christmas every now and then
or something. You know, it seems like maybe the thing
to say this time of year.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
And I think it's still a chinooka if I'm not mistake.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, it's that too.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, Chanuoka, happy Chanooka, Happy Honukah, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
And when we get back, we're going to find out
what a one hundred and two year old World War
Two vet has to say about the president. What day
is it?

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Hey, Hey, it's Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Good morning, Welcome to Wednesday. Are you sure Wednesday? What
a great day. Walton and Johnson Radio Network,
