Speaker 1 (00:00):
I started talking first this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yeah, people do bet money on that who will speak first.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
More than one person has told us that it's just
something they do at five point thirty of the morning.
What do you think is going to happen, Steve or Kenny,
Kenny or Steve? Well, okay, I hope, I hope you
got your bets down in time.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I think that fifty five percent of the time, it's
only me because I drank a little espresso before the show,
and then Steve's coffee kicks in about five or ten
minutes later, and then starting to happen right about now.
It's a pickleball tournament, you know, back and forth. I've
never played pickleball, so I don't even know if that
analogy makes sense.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I've never actually even watched a game live. I've seen
a couple of videos of it. I don't really feel
the need to experience it.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Is it like handball, but with a ping pong thing.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's like a short, slower version of tennis, you.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Know, So there's a net there is?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, I think I think she plays.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Okay, Yeah, sure, that's a big pickle boll Oh she
loves it. She's crazy about it, all right. Well, you know,
we're awake, and if I guess to understand today's news cycle,
you're gonna have to know what Signal is. Now. I
understand probably a portion of you know exactly what it is.
You're rolling your eyes right now. It's a messaging app.

(01:17):
It's a chat app, kind of like What's App or
you know Twitter, DMS or you know direct messaging text texting.
Signal is supposed to be encrypted. It's peer to peer,
which means there's not supposed to be a record of
the conversations stored on a database anywhere. Theoretically, that's what
they claim. That's a peer to peer encrypted messaging is

(01:39):
supposed to be And if you believe that, then use
that information to decide how angry you are that Pete
Hegseth jd Vance, Mike Waltz, and a handful of other
Donald Trump cabinet members accidentally, quote unquote added the editor

(02:00):
of a far left news outlet beloved by establishment Democrats
and neocons to a private conversation about bombing Yemen. Yeah,
and that's the big scandal today. Ooh scary. Now. I
will tell you when I first heard this news yesterday,
my first thought was well, someone needs to get fired.
And then you actually read the details about what happened,

(02:23):
and it does feel like we're being lied to a
little bit. Something bad clearly happened, right, But remember who
Jeff Goldberg is For those of you that don't remember,
Jeff Goldberg was the guy who claims.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
In the Dinosaur movie he said life finds a way.
I saw that Jurassic Park, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Okay, I get how they have the same name, but
it turns out it's not the actor. Oh no, yeah,
because I enjoyed him. That would make definitely make this
more interesting if he was involved.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
He's a little manic, but he's effective as an actor.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'll give him that. Okay. So Jeff Goldberg is this
guy who once flit Goldbloom. Yeah that's gold Bloom, right, Yeah, sorry,
your mistake. Goldberg is the guy who once famously wrote
a story about Trump claiming Trump called military veterans, what
was it, losers?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
And yeah, I forget what he said exactly, but.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I didn't say it right exactly. Here's the story from
twenty twenty Americans who died are losers and suckers. Jeff Goldberg,
The Atlantic, that's the guy. Now this guy is famous
for a news story based on hearsay and third hand conjecture. Right,
so great assault on all of this. He's not revealed
all the conversation with us. He claims he was shared

(03:38):
war plans. That's the part of the conversation he never
publicly published if ian did hear them. Some speculate that
he's lying about that. We don't know. I do know this.
Mike Waltz, who's considered to be kind of a neocon
member of the Donald Trump cabinet, he's the guy that
added Jeff Goldberg to this private conversation. Now, there's one

(04:00):
obvious question that needs to be asked here that's indisputably true.
Mike Waltz had Jeff Goldberg's private signal account mess name
stored in his friend's list on his phone whatever you'd
call that his contact list. Why Why did a cabinet
member involved in highly secretive, confidential classified information share who

(04:22):
has conversations about our foreign policy military strategy, have a
direct line of communication with the editor of a fervently
anti Trump news outlet.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Good question.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't have Jeff Goldberg's private signal account. Who even
knew he had a signal account.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, who wanted to know?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
So Jeff Goldberg claims he saw war plans, but where
are those war plans? Jeff Goldberg has not shared them,
and some claim it's because he doesn't have them, and
that's because maybe might have aligned.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
You might have lied, you might have been exaggerated. Well,
we'll get Kenny to get to the bottom of this.
As the morning rolls on, He's not going to let
this rest. I can tell he's like a dog with
a bone right now. He is getting into this guy's life.
He's gonna uproot it every way.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
You have to admit it's a really bizarre scandal because
it happened for two reasons, right. One of them is
that this would have never happened with baby boomers. Do
you know what I mean? Signal? You think a bunch
of like Do you think like General Millie is on signal? No,
hope not. Do you think Mad Dogmatis has a signal account?
That's right, No he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
But other, uh, you know, stories we're gonna have to
cover and we're gonna have to take a break real quick.
But we do have Jasmine Crockett back in the news.
Her end and her mouth are both in and just unhinged.
Democrats in general continue to just lose their minds every day.
Democrats running around painting swastikas on other Democrats cars. This

(05:48):
is kind of funny when you think about it. They
don't want you to deport terrible criminals. They do want
you to stop Doge from finding any more waste. They
don't like that for reason, none of these things makes sense.
Keep fighting and funding wars in Ukraine especially, oh and
bomb scares going on, yeah, and other unhinged things. The

(06:13):
Democrats attacking other Democrats because they're mad at Elon Musk
is pretty funny. I mean, it's not funny when it's
your car or your you know, charging station or whatever.
But it's just showshit the mindset of these people that're
just not right in the head.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
It feels like the Democrats cannot get through what I
like a two to three year cycle without fervent political
violence that goes on for months. Twenty twenty was the
last time we saw really bad political violence like this,
and now it's and at least then you could argue
they waited till the end of Trump's four years and
in office for one term. This time, they couldn't get

(06:53):
through two or three months. If it's this bad two
or three months into Trump's administration, two point zero, what's
it going to be like? You know, time to figure
out who the next president is.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Anyway, if you if you've been stockpiling ammunition to protect
your family, then you probably made a wise investment. Good
good call. This is easily as good as a Tuesday show.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
A cabinet meeting at Chili's.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know, hey, Chilis means business, That's right, what it's
all about.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's where you go when you're ready. Man. Then those
extreme fajitas tell me you are serious about protecting Yemen.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, buddy, good morning kids.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Makes you're joining us today?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Or are we protecting Yeoman?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I guess that's what this is all about.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Who we're protecting them from?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (07:40):
The hothy Rebels? Oh those Hothys.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, it's the Suez Canal, the Sioux's Canal.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Why I ought to the upside somebody?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Whoop upside your head? Trump has a message for all
the people right now who aren't happy with him, and
there are many people. One of my favorite things about
this SoundBite is the music in the background.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
If you're not happy here, then you can leave, as
far as I'm concerned. If you hate our country, if
you're not happy here, you can leave. And that's what
I say all the time. That's what I said in
a tweet, which I guess some people think is controversial.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
A lot of people love it, by the way, a
lot of people love it.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
But if you're not happy in the US, if you're
complaining all the time, very simply, you can leave. You
can leave right now. Come back if you want, don't
come back.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
It's ok too. But if you're not happy, you can.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Leave, okay. And he's right, Yeah, he's right.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
The White House has decided let's take the high road.
They're telling all their haters to kiss their ass, go
after yourself. Cute it for ah, he rose proved you
know what. I don't expect things to be perfect. I

(08:58):
will tell you. In those elak with JD. Vance and
Marco Rubio and so many I like what they were saying. Yeah,
I didn't say anything. The fact that some journalist.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Whatever thinks he heard war plans when he wouldn't know
what war plans really were, right, it's just his way
of getting attention back towards him. Look at me.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Everybody, Yeah, pick me, pick me, YadA, YadA, YadA. Somebody
does need to get fired. I assume whoever it was
that put Jeff goldboog Berg in the chat ron Coleman,
an attorney in front of the show, made an interesting point,
the classy thing to do was to publish the story,
assuming it's true. And then you're thinking to yourself, well,
what else could he have done? Blackmail a member of

(09:43):
the Trump administration for accidentally adding him to a group chat.
Of course, that begs the question is it not real?
People from the White House have confirmed that.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
It probably is, Like you said, we shall see how
that works out.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
One of the interesting points made in the conversation, jd
Vance points out the whole point of this is to
protect the Sioux's Canal, Suez Canal. I've heard of pronouncement,
why so funny the Suez Sue's yea Suez us this girl.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Suon why does she own her own canal?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
The other day I got into like a thirty minute conversation.
Is a cutter or Qatar? And on the news in
America it's always cutter, right, But I have a friend
who just went there and tells me it's pronounced Qatar.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
I always liked Qatar better. Anyway, it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Jady Vance points out if fighting the Hothy Rebels is
to protect the Suez Canal, only three percent of US
trade runs through it. Forty percent of the Europeans trade
runs through it. There's a risk here that the public
doesn't understand, he said, and why it's necessary. Uh, do
people get that this protecting fighting the Houthi rebels is
just one more example of welfare we're providing to the

(10:53):
rest of the world.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
It does seem that way, as anybody ever just said
what we're thinking out loud. Our canals better than their canal?
Oh yeah, yeah, now if it's our canal. No, China
seems to think they own the Panama Canal for some reason.
It's in PanAm all, which is not the United States
or China, and we dug it, so it's pretty much ours.

(11:17):
According to Trump, that canal is way better than sus anyway.
Oh yeah, Panama is way about Pam's canal. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Absolutely, she's a pretty girl.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I enjoy Pam.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
She gets it done.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's what That's what I like about Pam, you know.
She gets things done over there. All right. So if
you're just getting up and you're looking at the news
this morning and you're wondering what happened with that, look,
it's not no that judge, the one that is trying
to protect the trend a Aragua gang members.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, this is part of that unhinged plan to keep
as many violent criminals in America as we possibly can.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
He's making all kinds of weird requests. He's saying, I
need to see what time the flight took off at.
Isn't that all publicly available information? They have flight logs.
Somebody was explaining this on the news earlier. They said, well,
he wants to see if they're going to lie to him.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, I don't know if it's public information like when
you get on board a not United Airlines that's way
out of Vegas or government stuff. I'm not sure they
have to do the same things commercial airlines do well.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Anyway, today there's going to be a hearing before the
Senate involving Tulsi and Ratcliffe, members of your intelligence agencies,
and obviously they're going to be asked about this conversation
on signal and odd. To be fair, it's not as
if it was their meeting. They just attended it virtually
virtual meetings. I do hate a virtual meeting, of course,

(12:45):
I hate a real meeting too. Sure, we try to
avoid those at all calls. That's why we do this
for a living. Yeah. One of the things I've learned
in this industry, or really any industry, is that ninety
nine percent of things that are discussed at a weekly
corporate meeting or you know, government meet whatever maybe probably
could have been explained in an email thread.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh yeah. A lot of times people that do go
to those meetings tell us later part of the meeting
we spent talking about when to set up the next meeting.
That's it, That's that's what they do. We have a
meeting today to plan our weekly meetings.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
And that's go. And that's kind of the whole point
of doage. Imagine how much time could be saved if
we got rid of the time wasters people that actually
produce results around here. What if we just left them
to their own devices and let them work more. And
then the middle management guys who spend most of their
time setting up meetings, why don't we just quietly let

(13:38):
them go? Give them a few months sever and say
thank you. Here's a watch that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (13:44):

and waste and corruption in the United States government, stick
