Speaker 1 (00:01):
He always got to be suspicious of this stuff. But
there's a report that came out.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It says China has now surpassed the United States and
global approval ratings. But I am a little suspicious because
at the top of the list is Wakanda.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Oh yeah, well they they've been holding on to that
number one spot for a couple of years now, you.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Know, and once they had Kamala.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I don't know if you've seen the movie, but it
does look really good, you know, just from seeing it
in the movie. It seems like a nice enough place.
What's that magical metal they have there?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And as always forever.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, it's a great tie in to defect that today
is National Unicorn Day.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh that's great. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It seems like that's where unicorns live now. Probably true
because it's so nice. When I say global approval rating,
who's rating the countries? It's a global approval rating of
individual countries on Earth? Yeah, and who's asking the approval
(01:09):
or giving their approval? Because China outnumbers everybody, they say,
two billion people, can't.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
They sway the vote a little bit? While neither country
commands broad support. China surpassed the United States and global
approval ratings in twenty twenty five with them who they
ask Gallop gallop dot Com.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Ask people ask humans? Okay, what humans did they ask?
Did they ask a bunch of Chinese people?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, they never ask me. See that's what I'm saying.
I don't know anyone.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I'm asking two billion people who what country they think's best?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And they're gonna say chinacase they get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
If they don't, I never get pulled, and frankly, that's fine,
you know, good with it. Germany actually ranked the most. Positively,
you got to admit Germany's really made a comeback since
about eighty years ago. Germany is number one, said China
was number one. No, no, they've surpassed us, trying to
surpassed it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And I passed us, right, but yeah, I guess I
assumed we were number one.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No no, they passed us, No, no, no. America is
actually quite unpopular globally. I'm told I have friends who
travel abroad a lot, and they'll tell me that when
they go overseas, they don't tell people they're from America.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They tell them they're from Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And when they say that, that works for some reason,
that'll get them a logger or whatever.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I Oh, you're from Texas. H.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Here you go, here's your h Here's a crumpet or
whatever they're being given at the time.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Crumpets. That's a universal language kind of a thing. Get
the hell out of England.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, trumpets or crumpets or something.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I was getting on the elevator in my building yesterday
and attractive woman stepped off and I was in her
way because I was walking the dogs. I said, oh,
part of me, and I pulled the dog back. She goes,
and then with a very thick British accent, she goes, Oh,
that's okay. And as soon as I heard her accent,
I was like, you're British now. I wish I hadn't moved.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
But she also hot, so sort of hot, say not
anymore nearly, not once you heard her.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Speak, nearly as pretty as you act. You know that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, speaking of England, not real supportive of the United
States right now. Neither are any of the NATO countries.
So today in the news, you're going to hear a
lot of conversation about something that's never gonna happen. It's
a lot of hot air. We're gonna say, well, the
United States wants to pull out in NATO, which sounds great,
but it requires a two thirds majority in the Senate.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Does that strike you as something we could accomplish right now?
Not at all.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We can't even get voter id laws. How are we
gonna get out of NATO? I mean it sounds great,
you know what I mean. You're like if someone came
in here, They're like, Hey, the Swedish bikini team wants
to come in here and make omelets for you guys
while they give you all a naked massage this morning.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Huh huh, that's great. What do we need to do
to make that happen? With it?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You need to get the approval of two thirds of
liberal feminists. Oh so that's so not gonna happen. Oh no, okay,
got it. Never mind. It is a tempting though. Yesterday
Israel heard the news about the ceasefire and they said, nah,
we're gonna keep bombing Lebanon, and jd Vance to his point,
(04:09):
came out and he said, wow, we never said Lebanon.
It's part of the seas fire.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Also, during the the story was just out about the seasfire.
As the story was breaking, It's ten minutes old. Israel
was lobbing bombs at Lebanon. So it's not like Lebanon
decided to just stir this up. Israel's we're not part
of your seasfire. That's between you and them, that's between
(04:36):
you and Iran. Yeah, Israel's doing its own thing. They've
been at war with Lebanon off and on for you
know whatever, tens of a couple of thousand years, a
long time, long time. The countries were named different things
back in the day, who knows. But they don't like
each other, sure, and a seasfire doesn't make them stop.
Just because somebody sees a fire, that's right, doesn't mean
(04:59):
that you know, they're gonna suddenly become friends with lifelong enemies.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Sorry, just doesn't happen that way.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Lebanon's interesting because it's majority Christian, but they seem to
share the same worldviews as the Islamic extremists. They don't.
I'm not sure why that is. They really don't like
the Jews. They're like, well, we're Christians, but we agree
with the Muslims on a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Partly because maybe they are surrounded by other people that
do think like that.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, probably, Yeah, that would make sense.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It helps you make it through the day if you
agree with the bloodthirsty neighbors.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But like when you're a black kid who grows up
in a white neighborhood, you probably enjoy watching golf on TV.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Who golf? What's that golf? Speaking of the golf, they're
going to be a golf tournament. Yeah, it's starting today.
It's called the Masters.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And you know, some have speculated Donald Trump was always
bluffing about starting World War three because there's no way
that he was going to start World War three right
before the Masters tournament.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Very good point. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Ceasefire means that somebody sees a fire. It could be
any kind of fire. It could be a big fire
or small fire, a bonfire, or even a candle flame.
It just matters that somebody sees a fire. That's why
we call it a ceasefire.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh, it is Thursday. Today is Thursday.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Good morning, sexy, good morning, turn on, wake up and
listen up.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You need some coffee? Would you like some more?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Call?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Calls a stampede or revolt, but we don't have any coffee.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Walton and Johnsons. A tradition that's going on forever. No,
how does it go? That's not right?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
The Masters, The Masters a racist person that controls minorities. No,
that's not right.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
That's the old logo slogan. Oh man, it's Masters.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Uh, long live the Masters or so Anyway, we have
our first major breaking news story for the Masters. Before
they even officially tee off this morning, they've already kicked
a guy out.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh but the sun hasn't even run yea Mark Calkove. Wow.
I don't know if you've heard the name or not.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
He is he a past champion. He is a major champion.
Doesn't exempt you from breaking the rules at the Masters.
They have a hard line policy no phones. Oh and
apparently okay Calcavecia was the British Open champion back in
(07:34):
the late eighties. He was taken off of the or
out of the golf club by security on Tuesday this
week for using his phone. Not a lot of details
about you know why, or exactly where he was or
what he was doing, but.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They've they've kicked him out and he's like, Nope, you
can't be here. You're going to use your phone.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I don't know if they have arrested him or not,
but they ran him out of the course.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
There is a mostly fake news story circulating in some
legitimate news outlets today suggesting that Donald Trump was banned
from Augusta National or banned from the Patron's Club or
the Masters or no credible report I started. You know,
you could click the links for the sources in articles,
and I don't have anything else going on, obviously.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So click click click.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
The source ound It appears to be some anonymous guy
on Twitter. It's like, what huh? It's in the Guardian,
It's in Yahoo Sports. How did y'all get tricked by this?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So Trump is allowed at the Masters unless he brings
his phone, his daughter, No, his granddaughter's there.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Kai.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, I got to think Kai can go. The President
of the United States can go. Clickbait outlets are spinning
it as a dramatic ban from the Masters. The actual
twenty twenty six Masters starts today. There's no indication Trump's
prohibited from showing up. Yeah, it's just fake news. Oh well,
so no Mark Kalkovicia. But if Trump wants to go,
(09:07):
I guess he can be there.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I guess so.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, isn't it interesting how people will just believe what
they want. I was catching up with an old friend yesterday,
a very liberal person I hadn't talked to in years
and years and years and years, and he told me
the following things were true and he just knew it.
Israel killed Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump faked his assassination attempts.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That was all.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I was like, how, He's like, wow, the Secret Service
was in on it. I was like, the Secret Service
under Joe Biden. You think Joe Biden helped Trump get
elect right?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's like, yeah, that's all part of it. That's kind
of sad, Like what are you talking about? How long
is it going to before you talk to this person again?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Anything?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It was a lot of But you know me, I
find when people tell me this stuff, I don't take
it personal or again. I just think it's funny. I mean,
it was very entertaining. I love hearing a good conspiracy theory.
Oh sure, flat earthers. I hang out with flat earthers
and people that think the moon landing's fake, and I
just it's fun to listen to it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Problem is, over the last six eight years, especially those
conspiracy theories have almost all turned out to be true.
I think we were like we were eight out of ten, Yeah,
sometime at the end of last year on conspiracy theories
that turned out to be right. Well, during the pandemic,
for sure, there was some. I can't think of a
(10:24):
time in my life when we were lied to more
than that we were during the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Maybe the Iraq War was pretty close, because then you
had line going on on both sides. It wasn't just
the weapons of mass destructure. Do you remember bag dad
Bob Oh? Sure, like there was plenty of Yeah, even
back then, before you had community notes on social media
to fact check stuff, you could bagdad Bob's on Sea.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Ita and going, no, everything's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
In the news anchor's like, are there bombs going off
of the background. That's a mostly peaceful war. That's just
my wife she burned something in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Met Well, yeah, she gets upset.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Are you sure because it sounds like rockets and screen?
You mean, no, that's fine, it's cool. You get used
to it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I did. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well, speaking of being lied to in Charlotte, North Carolina,
you may recall while back I think it was last August,
there was a cute little blonde girl who was pludging
to death on a light rail train. Does everybody remember that?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I thought she was stabbed? What does bludging mean? An't
that the same thing?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Hit with a hardy No, you're right, yeah, that is true. Yeah,
that's like a hammer stabbed to death. You're right, A
brick rock, you know, a cement block, you're right, Yeah,
that's fair. Yeah, that's who I am. I think baseball bat, anvil?
Uh yeah, probably anvil, Maybe even a piano. Yeah, you
have to actually physically lifted and hit them with it. Well,
(11:42):
maybe like a mini piano, yeah, you know, keyboard, sure, yeah,
an accordion.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Don't you having a piano? Keyboard? Oh, I've got for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Some of the older ones that are made out of metal,
those are those will hurt you, but they're smaller.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
You know, she was killed. Who the lady on the
train you were talking about?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Right? I totally forgot? Yeah. When the Carolina's heard, I mean, yeah,
thank you for a guy. Got Arena something or other
was yesterday? Is that her name? You don't know her name? No,
that is what it is. I just Irena something.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Try not to laugh at the thought, if somebody didn't
bludge into death with this tidy synthesizer.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's not funny. It's not funny.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I mean you're picturing it in cartoon world. I'm assuming
in an in animated world it might be funny.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Well, it's funny because it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, and if you wack them with a keyboard, does
it make music?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I mean, does somebody like the sound that it makes.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
There's a whole subculture on the Internet of people that
are into noise. They'll plug things in that aren't supposed
to be plugged in together and create sound with it.
And then also you think, well, I would lose the
value these vintage synthesizers. Of course, if you bludge in
somebody to death with AVICH, it sits, and that person
was famous, like John Lennon or someone you got.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
The DNA on it, that could increase the value. Sure,
even if it doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Well, anyway, that guy that stabbed that woman to death
on the train, oh yeah, they are saying, and this
is the state charges, not the federal charges, that he
is unfair to take trial. And uh, a lot of
people on the internet are like, don't worry the federal
investigators will still get him. But isn't there a legal
precedent that once one court's determined something, the other court
(13:11):
has to.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Imgate it in order to.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Those things are all pretty much up for interpretation these days.
There doesn't seem to be any hard fast rules anymore. Well, yeah,
that's the way it's always been. But now we had
a lawyer stick his beacon here and start sniffing around,
and he's made some claims.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So now it's like, uh, you know, could be this
could be that. We don't know. We'll wait and see.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Not long ago, in the city of Chicago, there was
a young woman that was what she's shot to death
by a multiple released illegal immigrant.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
JB.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Pritzker comes out and says, Hey, everybody, don't blame the
illegal immigrant for this. This was just a matter of circumstance,
wrong place at the wrong time.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Also, probably blame the gun, you know, because I don't
think he would have shot anybody illegal or not if
he hadn't been able to get a gun.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
When that happened. I thought, and I think a lot
of people probably agree.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
That's the most reckless thing a high ranking official has
said so far in twenty twenty six to help a
violent criminal until yesterday.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, there's a lot of competition out there for reckless statements.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Amen, it's a regular Thursday. Come on, it's Thursday. Hey, Well,
Walton and Johnson Radio Network,
