Speaker 1 (00:00):
Up for the season.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's not for any reason other than it's just fun.
It's the peak of the morning. We're just getting ready.
People are waiting. It's six am. A lot of people's
alarms just went off. A normal morning radio at seven am.
You're right, our Georgia Lynn Florida listeners, Yeah, Florida, a
normal morning radio show syndicated across the country at this
(00:22):
time of the day. During commercial break would be would
be shuffling around with notes and news stories and gathering
together important soundbites. Steve and Billy Haad and I were
in here during commercial break watching stripes. That's what we
were just. Now, let's let's back up, man and follow
the trail. Okay, there's a win to go get coffee.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I was surprised to find all of our coffee mugs
were in there.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
People have been stealing our coffee mugs because they have
these tiny little Dixie cups in the office for coffee,
and it drives us crazy because you can't get any.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Coffee in it.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So guys down the hall and some other station nobody
probably pays attention to, right, They're like, oh, well, I
just took that mug because I didn't like these little cups.
All right, Well, hey, the reason we brought our own
mugs in because we didn't like these little cups. And
now you're taking our stuff. Don't touch our stuff or
I'll kill you. That's what I told him. And I
don't think he ever knew what stripes was because he's
(01:18):
a young kid. And that made us want to watch
the scene where Psycho says, don't touch my stuff or
I'll kill you. Oh, and also names Francis. Don't call
me Francis or I'll kill you.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Lighten up Francis.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Ulka was the best lightened up Francis.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And then he's like, you know, you got a guy'd
be nice to each other. Anybody in this room might
save your life one day. And then Bill Murray goes,
then again, we might.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Not, we might not.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And Psycho, I don't know the guy who played Psycho.
Who was he was? He is he famous today for something?
But he was a perfect Psycho because he had the
stupid haircut, which you know they gave him for the role,
and he had those eyes that just would look at
you like, oh man, this guy's a psycho.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
All right, what a movie you had? Bill Murray, Harold Ramis,
you had John Candy in this movie.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Obviously.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Warren Hoates played Sergeant Hulka Bill Paxton with a very
soldier number eight, who even knew he was in there.
That's a great job, number. I'm solder number eight. John
Laura Katt love him. His captain stillman. Judge Reinhold played Elmo.
I mean it goes on and on. There's so many
good people in this movie. But the guy that played
(02:29):
Leon Francis was Glenn Michael Jones. And I don't know
what else he was in something something, Probably they're just
a what a They'll never make a movie like Stripes again.
And as I sit here and pick through the cast
of Stripes, I try to figure out.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Which one would be Pete hegseeth and.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Is he How we got back to that?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You remember everybody, the US and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Russian diplomat's been gathering together and they're trying to have
a talk. Hi US Russia talks on ending the war
in Ukraine failed to yield to breakthrough this week. The
Kremlin said no compromise and that had been found yet.
On the question of territory, they said.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Look, and I tried to get Putin to give back
some of the stuff he took, and he's like, why
I did it for a reason that you might not
like his reasons or the way he took it, but
he does.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Ukraine said you give us, We're gonna keep Kiev and
you got to give us back Crimea And then Putin said, well,
Crimea River, I'm keeping it and I'm taking some other
stuff too. And if you're anything like us, you know
that Vladimir Putin probably couldn't hurt us, but he could
hurt Ukraine. And that matters because, as you know, Ukraine
(03:45):
is an important part of NATO.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, of course is it. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's not, no Russian president vitamin. By the way, Putin
don't want it to be neither. Here's where I think
Trump screwed up. You know who he said to have
this conversation, Who would you have said? First of all,
I don't know who's available. Well you got Marco Ruby.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But uh, I don't think I would have calmed things down.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I don't feel like I'm the Ray kind of dude.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
No, you know who he sent his son in law,
he said, he said.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff along with his son in law,
Jared Kushna, because he's a nice Jewish boy.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's Jered Kushna.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
They're good at negotiating stuff, you know, So run him
on in there.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I know this shouldn't matter, it shouldn't, but you know,
Jared is a nice Jewish boy in those Russians and
the Jews.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Have a history.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know what are the communists in the Nazis
have in common? Almost everything?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Russia is not communist anymore, but it still is. Wasn't
he a member of the KGB Putin? Yeah, they're very Russians,
a very complicated relationship with Jewish people. Now I happen
to like Jewish people, I don't. I don't understand the
vitriol and hatred of them. I find I think some
of you are wasting your energy that you should be
using to hate Islam. But as far as the Jews go,
(04:56):
Jared Kushner shows up to negotiate with Putin, and while
it wouldn't matter to us, I wonder if it matters
to him, you know what I mean? He's like, oh, oh,
you sent to me your son in law, if your Putin?
Where status is so important and Trump's Jewish son in
law shows up. I hate to be the one to
point this out, but I'll bet that affected the negotiations,
along with Steve Whitkoff and Steve Woodcoff's playing second fiddle.
(05:18):
Now you've taken Steve Whitcoff and made it look like, hey,
he's not that important. That's why he's here with my
son in law. I mean, forget about the Jewish part
for a minute. It's his son in law. You do
not even have a position in the government. The meeting
is a crucial moment for Ukraine and what could be
a fraud week following days of frantic diplomacy. Frantic diplomacy
(05:39):
sounds like there was no diplomacy. That's why the wars
still happened. Didn't work anyway. Not a lot of progress
there is, I guess, is what we're saying.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
So I am glad you brought up those Islamists, Islam,
the Muslims.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's a death cult, right. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
We do get quite a few emails at waltnon Johnson
dot com and I was sorting through a couple of
different ones there. Tom I think gets what we're what
we're giving. He said, this is clearly an act of conquest. Okay,
they're not coming here for a better life. It's a
(06:21):
it's a conquest mission. And this has to be reversed
and outlawed before it's too late. Islam must be declared
a terrorist cult, which it is, and persecuted accordingly. Will
act such as this increase or decrease with a Muslim
mayor in the biggest city in the country, Why, well,
(06:41):
we have no way of knowing. Huh.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well, yeah, wait, I wonder who it could wonder what
could be going on there? All right, let's talk about
New York City for just a minute. In New York
City they have I'm an outgoing mayor and an incoming mayor.
As you just explained to the incoming mayor, is this
guy named Zarhan Mom, Donnie. And he's very Unamerican every way, positive,
born in a foreign country, worships at the altar of
(07:04):
a religion that's relatively unpopular in the United States of America,
and certainly it doesn't correlate with our values, making women
cover up with sheets and throwing gay people off buildings.
And weirdly, it was people on the far left who
gave him all his power. Now, the outgoing guy is
Mayor Eric Adams, who, as you know, is controversial because
he likes Trump and he disagreed with Biden's immigration policies.
(07:28):
So he had some scandal that didn't really seem no
one could even explain it out loud, but it meant
he can't be mayor anymore. And yesterday he announced in
executive order barring New York City from making business or
pension investment decisions that discriminate against Israel. Now, now, forget
whatever you think of Israel or just for a minute here,
(07:49):
understand that this is one hundred percent the opposite of
what Zorhan mam Donnie is into, which means the second
that Zorhan mam Donnie takes office, he's going to have
to undo this and then that's going to dominate the
news cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Or other people.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
A signal to folks, huh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Zoran Mamdani, the mayor elect, who supports the boycott, divestment
and sanctioned campaign against Israel otherwise known as the BDS movement,
not to be confused with the BDSM movement, a totally
different thing. It basically has built a political career around
promising he's gonna put Benjamin Yet and Yahoo in prison,
which is actually not something the mayor in New York
(08:26):
City has the authority to do.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
He doesn't have the authority to do most of the
things he promised the people that would vote for him that.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
He would do.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
He's not the governor, he's not the president. He's so
far he's not the dictator. It's called Executive Order sixty one.
It directs the Department to evaluate potential changes to the
Patrol Guide to better regulate protests occurring near houses of worship,
including setting up zones where demonstrations would be prohibited. The
point is, it's a municipal policy that's supposed to keep
(08:58):
the City of New York's out of international political controversy. Theoretically,
and weirdly enough, the fact that Zorhan Mandani is against
Israel or would be against this executive order. To people
on the far left, that's not controversial. What's controversial is
the fact that the mayor of Houston, John Whitmyer, is
not into getting involved. His whole thing is speed bomps
(09:22):
and electric scooters.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
On the sidewalk. The mayor shouldn't be doing. Where do
we put the homeless people. How many police do we
need in the park late at night?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
They smart enough.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, the mayor's job and what the mayor and the
city council are supposed to do. Not do the governor's
job for him or try to or make promises that
he can't live up to.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The Houston Chronicle, who, by the way, just be an
objective here, publish my op eds. They publish the articles
I write and submit to them. The editorial board there.
I'm friendly with them, but I certainly disagree on this.
Published an article with the following headline, You're not in
Austin anymore. Wit liar needs to rebuild trust in city Hall.
And then the article just goes on to explain how
(10:05):
John Whitmeyer's not the far left Democrat we thought he
was going to be when he was good. Back when
he was a state lawmaker, he voted with the Democrats
on everything.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But now he's acting all republican.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You know what he's done. He has remained steady in
his thoughts and his beliefs, in his positions. The party
moved way farther left. He stayed right where he was.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Since the nineties, and.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The Democrat Party loves all the old holdover Democrats and
that Pelosi Schumer.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
They love these people.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
But if those people supported the policies they believed in ten, fifteen,
twenty years ago, which, by the which basically would be
the Republican's policies.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Now that's the deal, they'd be called Nazis.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The other thing we're getting a lot of emails about, besides,
you know, the invasion of Islam and Somalians and Afghanistanis
and Afghanistanista, Afghanistan, afghanistanany Danny, it's that dang boat that
we blew up and then blew up again. And well
(11:12):
we'll look at those when we get back from the
little breakare.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I am going to donate to Afghanistani's with AIDS.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Mink, you mean the Aide to Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
No, I mean Afghanistani's with AIDS.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Afghani what Afghany that's a dog, No, that's afghan that's
a shawl. Wait aid No humans with AIDS? Who has AIDS?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Guys the Afghanistan Nannys Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
They play that music now.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
The first thing that popped into my head was that
stupid bat dance he did in one of those episodes.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
This is probably all before you were born. Oh, I'm
aware of what I've seen memes, but yeah, the bat dance.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But I mean I was watching that, you know, like
as a kid when the show was on the show
like regular and he came out with that damn bat dance.
It was just, oh, it was embarrassing and it was funny.
You gotta admit it was funny.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And on a side note, although we do want to
talk about something Batman related. Yeah, Quentin Tarantino is often
accused by film enthusiasts film aficionados of stealing stuff from
old movies, foreign films, kung fu movies, that kind of thing.
One of the most famous scenes in pulp fiction is
the dance. The dance and where did the dance come from?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
That that thing where he does is his uh, his fingers.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Over his eyes like the peace sign over his right.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
That's Batman's stuff. He stole it right out of Batman.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
No, they call it sampling. Oh, thank you, Steve, that's
really good sampling. Oh thanks, puffed Addy. I'm glad.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Well if they if they can do it and rap,
then why can't they do it in film?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, you know, that's an argument that film officionados would
make when they're having an argument and protecting their virginitys Hey,
you know, well look, some would say he stole it.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Some would say he was inspired. He was inspired. Anyway,
there's a reason we're playing that music today.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Sometimes art reflects reality, but sometimes reality reflects art.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
We've joked before that Gavin Newsom is the living embodiment
of Patrick Bateman of the film American Psycho. Oh yeah, Well,
halle Berry, as you know, was Catwoman.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Well, yes she was. And in this halle Berry is
not Candas Owans, although some people might confuse them. Candas
Owans is, you know, like and halle Berry is just
a woman who looks like her. It has short hair.
And so you see, you're up there and you go, well,
the crazy woman again.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I know that's what you just did is not a racism,
but it came very close to being a racism.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Even one time I accidentally said Samuel L. Jackson when
I meant to say Denzel Washington.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
At the show.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh no, that's unforgivable. I've never lived it down. The
people at my gym remind me of it constantly. Anyway,
halle Berry is a liberal would liberal, and Catwoman is
a villain. She's an anti heroo in the movies, but
much like Catwoman in real life, halle Berry eventually tries
(14:11):
to stop the real bad guy.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Oh well, who's she stopping?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, as you know, in the Batman film, Catwoman was
Batman's enemy right up until she wasn't when they worked
together to stop I don't remember Iceman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Penguin.
I don't remember what mister free. Mister Free isich Man.
That's top Gun. No, you're right, my bad, Sorry, Sorry,
I do love top Gun. All right, So halle Berry
in real life, I still love Stripes. Has come out
(14:37):
and criticized Gavin Newsom, saying he probably should not be
our next president.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
No, no, probably about it. He should not be anybody
if you want, if you want Gavin Newsom to be president,
and it's a couple of years away before you have
to even start thinking about this, hopefully, just keep an
eye on California. Why don't we just for over the
next couple of years, let's just watch California Los Angeles specifically,
(15:05):
since it's been what eleven months, since they had that
big fire. Are you how many houses have been built
back in eleven months since the fire?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
How many? One? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And you know what's so special about that one?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Oh? I think I remember, but Tallas it's a.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Construction company's model home, which they were apparently given permission
to build before the fires.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
What a weird coincidence.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
But nobody has been able to rebuild their home for
almost a year because of all the government red tape,
insurance companies, the bank and financial institutions, the real estate agencies,
and in the politics, the politicians specifically, who don't want
them to rebuild their homes. They want them to sell
(15:51):
that land to them and their friends so they can
live there instead.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Absolutely, a lot of those homes in Malibu that burned
down not long ago were built in the mid twentieth century,
the fifties, the sixties, beautiful homes and a beautiful part
of the state, a beautiful part of the country.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Now it's crowded there, and that real estate is very
expensive because it's right.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
On the coast.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And when they built that stuff, they didn't have something
called the California Coastal Commission.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
What's that. It's kind of like.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
California's own version of the Environmental Protection Agency, except they
focus solely on dealing with housing and building and regulations
along the coastline.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So what does this mean?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Well, the rules are so meticulous, so convoluted, so confusing,
you need a team of lawyers if you want to
build something along the coastline. Now, and some people might think,
well that to tourist progress, that means only a wealthy person
could afford to build a home there.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yes, exactly, That's the whole point, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So let's just as a group, let's all agree we'll
just watch California from afar La specifically, but the whole
state really just you know, screwed up, upside down, backs
and forth. Now, if that's what you want for the
whole country, then sure, Gavin Newsom, that's your man, but
(17:10):
give it. I think it will be.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But getting back to Halle Berry for a minute, there's
a lot of reasons she likes she dislikes Gavin Newsom.
One of them is menopause. Okay, you probably think I'm
being misogynistic. I have no idea what either one of
those things has to do with something.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Thank you. Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Halle Berry was talking at the Deal Book Summit on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It was some town hall and we never would have gone.
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And she's on stage talking to the audience about Governor
Gavin Newsom, and she says, and I'll just read it
to you verbatim quote. Back in my great state of California,
my very own Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Which is what exactly, I don't know what that's all.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
He did it not once but two years in a row.
But that's okay because he's not going to be governor forever.
So the chicks can't have menopause when they want to, okay.
So the bill is called AB four thirty two, is
introduced by assembly Member Rebecca Bauer Khan, who's that don't
worry about it, don't care and it had a goal.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Too many details. I need the overall. Just give me
the big.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Picture, okay. It's exactly what it sounds like.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
It's a government bill that was supposed to expand menopause care.
It was supposed to mandate that a healthcare service plan
or insurance providers recommends menopause related treatments and funds it
It's exactly what you'd think, right, Hanley Berry, who's at
a point in life where weirdly, you know, she's getting
into menopause, but you think she could afford to pay
for this. This is a real important policy to her.
(18:39):
So the reason she doesn't like Avenusom has nothing to
do with the fact that he ate at French laundry
during the weekend.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
The way he governed, Yeah, except for that one thing.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Except it's this one weird thing that specifically affects her
and women her age. And that's kind of how a
lot of people vote, isn't it. A lot of people
just have this one single issue thing. You know what
I compare.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's kind of like when when people don't give to
charities most of their life, you know that, it's like, well,
I'm just barely getting by. I don't have five or
you know, five hundred or one thousand dollars or however
much it is to give to charities, and then them
or somebody in their life finds out they've got some
kind of cancer or some kind you know, multiple what
(19:21):
is ms Sclaris Clariss multi scholar, scholar, scholar, whatever disease
it is, Right, somebody scar the doctor comes in and goes, well,
your son has been you know, he's been diagnosed with blank.
Suddenly they're given to charity, and they're demanding everybody else
give to charity too. Now I'm suddenly motivated. I don't
(19:41):
want to give to charity when your kid was sick,
but now it's my kid.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We've made this point before, many many times. It's in
my heart of hearts. I think that most people are libertarians.
I think most people are I'm a libertarian lower case philosophically.
But everybody's got this one thing, this one thing. It's
gay marriage in Israel, that one thing where they want
the government to be all encompassing and control everything about it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
And you remember what uh that uh guy Curly was it?
I forget what about the Three Stooges? No in uh
uh Billy Crystal goes on vacation. Oh you're talking about
cities like Citi's liquors and oh Curly, there that was
that guy who could crap bigger than you. He told him,
he said at the end of the movie. He's like,
that's what life is all about. It's that one thing.
(20:28):
He's like, but what is that one thing? That's what
you got to find out, Billy, what's your thing?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Billy?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Do you remember when my father passed, Well, yeah, my
father was obsessed with the quote in that movie.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is that right? Yeah? He would repeat it to people
all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Might not that my father had one where he says,
I crap bigger than you.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That that quote?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, the one thing, Oh, Billy cleared it up, that's all.
When my father was alive, he had a lot of
people who he mentored in both the business community and
he was for fine on the side.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
He was an artist.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Did they want to be mentored or did he just
force it on him? They did? No, it wasn't unsolicited.
When my dad died, his funeral was filled with people.
There was nowhere to sit in the entire room. There
was a good sign that there were so many people there.
We didn't have enough chairs. The back of the room
was packed with people, and my father, when he was alive,
used to every one of them would would hear my
(21:21):
dad at least one time in their mentorship repeat that
line from City Slickers. It was the corniest line, but man,
it was great advice. Stuck, do you know what the
secret of life is?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
What this an? Your finger. One thing, just one thing.
You stick to that and everything else. Don't mean shoed.
That's great, but that's the one thing. That's what you
got to figure out.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
It's Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, the day you used to.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Get a jump on the weekend and start drinking, but
now you drinkday
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network
Up for the season.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's not for any reason other than it's just fun.
It's the peak of the morning. We're just getting ready.
People are waiting. It's six am. A lot of people's
alarms just went off. A normal morning radio at seven am.
You're right, our Georgia Lynn Florida listeners, Yeah, Florida, a
normal morning radio show syndicated across the country at this
(00:22):
time of the day. During commercial break would be would
be shuffling around with notes and news stories and gathering
together important soundbites. Steve and Billy Haad and I were
in here during commercial break watching stripes. That's what we
were just. Now, let's let's back up, man and follow
the trail. Okay, there's a win to go get coffee.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I was surprised to find all of our coffee mugs
were in there.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
People have been stealing our coffee mugs because they have
these tiny little Dixie cups in the office for coffee,
and it drives us crazy because you can't get any.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Coffee in it.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So guys down the hall and some other station nobody
probably pays attention to, right, They're like, oh, well, I
just took that mug because I didn't like these little cups.
All right, Well, hey, the reason we brought our own
mugs in because we didn't like these little cups. And
now you're taking our stuff. Don't touch our stuff or
I'll kill you. That's what I told him. And I
don't think he ever knew what stripes was because he's
(01:18):
a young kid. And that made us want to watch
the scene where Psycho says, don't touch my stuff or
I'll kill you. Oh, and also names Francis. Don't call
me Francis or I'll kill you.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Lighten up Francis.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Ulka was the best lightened up Francis.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And then he's like, you know, you got a guy'd
be nice to each other. Anybody in this room might
save your life one day. And then Bill Murray goes,
then again, we might.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Not, we might not.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And Psycho, I don't know the guy who played Psycho.
Who was he was? He is he famous today for something?
But he was a perfect Psycho because he had the
stupid haircut, which you know they gave him for the role,
and he had those eyes that just would look at
you like, oh man, this guy's a psycho.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
All right, what a movie you had? Bill Murray, Harold Ramis,
you had John Candy in this movie.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Obviously.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Warren Hoates played Sergeant Hulka Bill Paxton with a very
soldier number eight, who even knew he was in there.
That's a great job, number. I'm solder number eight. John
Laura Katt love him. His captain stillman. Judge Reinhold played Elmo.
I mean it goes on and on. There's so many
good people in this movie. But the guy that played
(02:29):
Leon Francis was Glenn Michael Jones. And I don't know
what else he was in something something, Probably they're just
a what a They'll never make a movie like Stripes again.
And as I sit here and pick through the cast
of Stripes, I try to figure out.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Which one would be Pete hegseeth and.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Is he How we got back to that?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You remember everybody, the US and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Russian diplomat's been gathering together and they're trying to have
a talk. Hi US Russia talks on ending the war
in Ukraine failed to yield to breakthrough this week. The
Kremlin said no compromise and that had been found yet.
On the question of territory, they said.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Look, and I tried to get Putin to give back
some of the stuff he took, and he's like, why
I did it for a reason that you might not
like his reasons or the way he took it, but
he does.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Ukraine said you give us, We're gonna keep Kiev and
you got to give us back Crimea And then Putin said, well,
Crimea River, I'm keeping it and I'm taking some other
stuff too. And if you're anything like us, you know
that Vladimir Putin probably couldn't hurt us, but he could
hurt Ukraine. And that matters because, as you know, Ukraine
(03:45):
is an important part of NATO.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, of course is it. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's not, no Russian president vitamin. By the way, Putin
don't want it to be neither. Here's where I think
Trump screwed up. You know who he said to have
this conversation, Who would you have said? First of all,
I don't know who's available. Well you got Marco Ruby.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But uh, I don't think I would have calmed things down.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I don't feel like I'm the Ray kind of dude.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
No, you know who he sent his son in law,
he said, he said.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff along with his son in law,
Jared Kushna, because he's a nice Jewish boy.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's Jered Kushna.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
They're good at negotiating stuff, you know, So run him
on in there.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I know this shouldn't matter, it shouldn't, but you know,
Jared is a nice Jewish boy in those Russians and
the Jews.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Have a history.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know what are the communists in the Nazis
have in common? Almost everything?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Russia is not communist anymore, but it still is. Wasn't
he a member of the KGB Putin? Yeah, they're very Russians,
a very complicated relationship with Jewish people. Now I happen
to like Jewish people, I don't. I don't understand the
vitriol and hatred of them. I find I think some
of you are wasting your energy that you should be
using to hate Islam. But as far as the Jews go,
(04:56):
Jared Kushner shows up to negotiate with Putin, and while
it wouldn't matter to us, I wonder if it matters
to him, you know what I mean? He's like, oh, oh,
you sent to me your son in law, if your Putin?
Where status is so important and Trump's Jewish son in
law shows up. I hate to be the one to
point this out, but I'll bet that affected the negotiations,
along with Steve Whitkoff and Steve Woodcoff's playing second fiddle.
(05:18):
Now you've taken Steve Whitcoff and made it look like, hey,
he's not that important. That's why he's here with my
son in law. I mean, forget about the Jewish part
for a minute. It's his son in law. You do
not even have a position in the government. The meeting
is a crucial moment for Ukraine and what could be
a fraud week following days of frantic diplomacy. Frantic diplomacy
(05:39):
sounds like there was no diplomacy. That's why the wars
still happened. Didn't work anyway. Not a lot of progress
there is, I guess, is what we're saying.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
So I am glad you brought up those Islamists, Islam,
the Muslims.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's a death cult, right. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
We do get quite a few emails at waltnon Johnson
dot com and I was sorting through a couple of
different ones there. Tom I think gets what we're what
we're giving. He said, this is clearly an act of conquest. Okay,
they're not coming here for a better life. It's a
(06:21):
it's a conquest mission. And this has to be reversed
and outlawed before it's too late. Islam must be declared
a terrorist cult, which it is, and persecuted accordingly. Will
act such as this increase or decrease with a Muslim
mayor in the biggest city in the country, Why, well,
(06:41):
we have no way of knowing. Huh.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well, yeah, wait, I wonder who it could wonder what
could be going on there? All right, let's talk about
New York City for just a minute. In New York
City they have I'm an outgoing mayor and an incoming mayor.
As you just explained to the incoming mayor, is this
guy named Zarhan Mom, Donnie. And he's very Unamerican every way, positive,
born in a foreign country, worships at the altar of
(07:04):
a religion that's relatively unpopular in the United States of America,
and certainly it doesn't correlate with our values, making women
cover up with sheets and throwing gay people off buildings.
And weirdly, it was people on the far left who
gave him all his power. Now, the outgoing guy is
Mayor Eric Adams, who, as you know, is controversial because
he likes Trump and he disagreed with Biden's immigration policies.
(07:28):
So he had some scandal that didn't really seem no
one could even explain it out loud, but it meant
he can't be mayor anymore. And yesterday he announced in
executive order barring New York City from making business or
pension investment decisions that discriminate against Israel. Now, now, forget
whatever you think of Israel or just for a minute here,
(07:49):
understand that this is one hundred percent the opposite of
what Zorhan mam Donnie is into, which means the second
that Zorhan mam Donnie takes office, he's going to have
to undo this and then that's going to dominate the
news cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Or other people.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
A signal to folks, huh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Zoran Mamdani, the mayor elect, who supports the boycott, divestment
and sanctioned campaign against Israel otherwise known as the BDS movement,
not to be confused with the BDSM movement, a totally
different thing. It basically has built a political career around
promising he's gonna put Benjamin Yet and Yahoo in prison,
which is actually not something the mayor in New York
(08:26):
City has the authority to do.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
He doesn't have the authority to do most of the
things he promised the people that would vote for him that.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
He would do.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
He's not the governor, he's not the president. He's so
far he's not the dictator. It's called Executive Order sixty one.
It directs the Department to evaluate potential changes to the
Patrol Guide to better regulate protests occurring near houses of worship,
including setting up zones where demonstrations would be prohibited. The
point is, it's a municipal policy that's supposed to keep
(08:58):
the City of New York's out of international political controversy. Theoretically,
and weirdly enough, the fact that Zorhan Mandani is against
Israel or would be against this executive order. To people
on the far left, that's not controversial. What's controversial is
the fact that the mayor of Houston, John Whitmyer, is
not into getting involved. His whole thing is speed bomps
(09:22):
and electric scooters.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
On the sidewalk. The mayor shouldn't be doing. Where do
we put the homeless people. How many police do we
need in the park late at night?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
They smart enough.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, the mayor's job and what the mayor and the
city council are supposed to do. Not do the governor's
job for him or try to or make promises that
he can't live up to.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The Houston Chronicle, who, by the way, just be an
objective here, publish my op eds. They publish the articles
I write and submit to them. The editorial board there.
I'm friendly with them, but I certainly disagree on this.
Published an article with the following headline, You're not in
Austin anymore. Wit liar needs to rebuild trust in city Hall.
And then the article just goes on to explain how
(10:05):
John Whitmeyer's not the far left Democrat we thought he
was going to be when he was good. Back when
he was a state lawmaker, he voted with the Democrats
on everything.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But now he's acting all republican.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You know what he's done. He has remained steady in
his thoughts and his beliefs, in his positions. The party
moved way farther left. He stayed right where he was.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Since the nineties, and.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The Democrat Party loves all the old holdover Democrats and
that Pelosi Schumer.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
They love these people.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
But if those people supported the policies they believed in ten, fifteen,
twenty years ago, which, by the which basically would be
the Republican's policies.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Now that's the deal, they'd be called Nazis.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The other thing we're getting a lot of emails about, besides,
you know, the invasion of Islam and Somalians and Afghanistanis
and Afghanistanista, Afghanistan, afghanistanany Danny, it's that dang boat that
we blew up and then blew up again. And well
(11:12):
we'll look at those when we get back from the
little breakare.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I am going to donate to Afghanistani's with AIDS.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Mink, you mean the Aide to Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
No, I mean Afghanistani's with AIDS.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Afghani what Afghany that's a dog, No, that's afghan that's
a shawl. Wait aid No humans with AIDS? Who has AIDS?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Guys the Afghanistan Nannys Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
They play that music now.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
The first thing that popped into my head was that
stupid bat dance he did in one of those episodes.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
This is probably all before you were born. Oh, I'm
aware of what I've seen memes, but yeah, the bat dance.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But I mean I was watching that, you know, like
as a kid when the show was on the show
like regular and he came out with that damn bat dance.
It was just, oh, it was embarrassing and it was funny.
You gotta admit it was funny.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And on a side note, although we do want to
talk about something Batman related. Yeah, Quentin Tarantino is often
accused by film enthusiasts film aficionados of stealing stuff from
old movies, foreign films, kung fu movies, that kind of thing.
One of the most famous scenes in pulp fiction is
the dance. The dance and where did the dance come from?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
That that thing where he does is his uh, his fingers.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Over his eyes like the peace sign over his right.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
That's Batman's stuff. He stole it right out of Batman.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
No, they call it sampling. Oh, thank you, Steve, that's
really good sampling. Oh thanks, puffed Addy. I'm glad.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Well if they if they can do it and rap,
then why can't they do it in film?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, you know, that's an argument that film officionados would
make when they're having an argument and protecting their virginitys Hey,
you know, well look, some would say he stole it.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Some would say he was inspired. He was inspired. Anyway,
there's a reason we're playing that music today.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Sometimes art reflects reality, but sometimes reality reflects art.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
We've joked before that Gavin Newsom is the living embodiment
of Patrick Bateman of the film American Psycho. Oh yeah, Well,
halle Berry, as you know, was Catwoman.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Well, yes she was. And in this halle Berry is
not Candas Owans, although some people might confuse them. Candas
Owans is, you know, like and halle Berry is just
a woman who looks like her. It has short hair.
And so you see, you're up there and you go, well,
the crazy woman again.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I know that's what you just did is not a racism,
but it came very close to being a racism.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Even one time I accidentally said Samuel L. Jackson when
I meant to say Denzel Washington.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
At the show.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh no, that's unforgivable. I've never lived it down. The
people at my gym remind me of it constantly. Anyway,
halle Berry is a liberal would liberal, and Catwoman is
a villain. She's an anti heroo in the movies, but
much like Catwoman in real life, halle Berry eventually tries
(14:11):
to stop the real bad guy.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Oh well, who's she stopping?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, as you know, in the Batman film, Catwoman was
Batman's enemy right up until she wasn't when they worked
together to stop I don't remember Iceman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Penguin.
I don't remember what mister free. Mister Free isich Man.
That's top Gun. No, you're right, my bad, Sorry, Sorry,
I do love top Gun. All right, So halle Berry
in real life, I still love Stripes. Has come out
(14:37):
and criticized Gavin Newsom, saying he probably should not be
our next president.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
No, no, probably about it. He should not be anybody
if you want, if you want Gavin Newsom to be president,
and it's a couple of years away before you have
to even start thinking about this, hopefully, just keep an
eye on California. Why don't we just for over the
next couple of years, let's just watch California Los Angeles specifically,
(15:05):
since it's been what eleven months, since they had that
big fire. Are you how many houses have been built
back in eleven months since the fire?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
How many? One? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And you know what's so special about that one?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Oh? I think I remember, but Tallas it's a.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Construction company's model home, which they were apparently given permission
to build before the fires.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
What a weird coincidence.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
But nobody has been able to rebuild their home for
almost a year because of all the government red tape,
insurance companies, the bank and financial institutions, the real estate agencies,
and in the politics, the politicians specifically, who don't want
them to rebuild their homes. They want them to sell
(15:51):
that land to them and their friends so they can
live there instead.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Absolutely, a lot of those homes in Malibu that burned
down not long ago were built in the mid twentieth century,
the fifties, the sixties, beautiful homes and a beautiful part
of the state, a beautiful part of the country.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Now it's crowded there, and that real estate is very
expensive because it's right.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
On the coast.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And when they built that stuff, they didn't have something
called the California Coastal Commission.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
What's that. It's kind of like.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
California's own version of the Environmental Protection Agency, except they
focus solely on dealing with housing and building and regulations
along the coastline.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So what does this mean?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Well, the rules are so meticulous, so convoluted, so confusing,
you need a team of lawyers if you want to
build something along the coastline. Now, and some people might think,
well that to tourist progress, that means only a wealthy person
could afford to build a home there.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yes, exactly, That's the whole point, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So let's just as a group, let's all agree we'll
just watch California from afar La specifically, but the whole
state really just you know, screwed up, upside down, backs
and forth. Now, if that's what you want for the
whole country, then sure, Gavin Newsom, that's your man, but
(17:10):
give it. I think it will be.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But getting back to Halle Berry for a minute, there's
a lot of reasons she likes she dislikes Gavin Newsom.
One of them is menopause. Okay, you probably think I'm
being misogynistic. I have no idea what either one of
those things has to do with something.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Thank you. Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Halle Berry was talking at the Deal Book Summit on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It was some town hall and we never would have gone.
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And she's on stage talking to the audience about Governor
Gavin Newsom, and she says, and I'll just read it
to you verbatim quote. Back in my great state of California,
my very own Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Which is what exactly, I don't know what that's all.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
He did it not once but two years in a row.
But that's okay because he's not going to be governor forever.
So the chicks can't have menopause when they want to, okay.
So the bill is called AB four thirty two, is
introduced by assembly Member Rebecca Bauer Khan, who's that don't
worry about it, don't care and it had a goal.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Too many details. I need the overall. Just give me
the big.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Picture, okay. It's exactly what it sounds like.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
It's a government bill that was supposed to expand menopause care.
It was supposed to mandate that a healthcare service plan
or insurance providers recommends menopause related treatments and funds it
It's exactly what you'd think, right, Hanley Berry, who's at
a point in life where weirdly, you know, she's getting
into menopause, but you think she could afford to pay
for this. This is a real important policy to her.
(18:39):
So the reason she doesn't like Avenusom has nothing to
do with the fact that he ate at French laundry
during the weekend.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
The way he governed, Yeah, except for that one thing.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Except it's this one weird thing that specifically affects her
and women her age. And that's kind of how a
lot of people vote, isn't it. A lot of people
just have this one single issue thing. You know what
I compare.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's kind of like when when people don't give to
charities most of their life, you know that, it's like, well,
I'm just barely getting by. I don't have five or
you know, five hundred or one thousand dollars or however
much it is to give to charities, and then them
or somebody in their life finds out they've got some
kind of cancer or some kind you know, multiple what
(19:21):
is ms Sclaris Clariss multi scholar, scholar, scholar, whatever disease
it is, Right, somebody scar the doctor comes in and goes, well,
your son has been you know, he's been diagnosed with blank.
Suddenly they're given to charity, and they're demanding everybody else
give to charity too. Now I'm suddenly motivated. I don't
(19:41):
want to give to charity when your kid was sick,
but now it's my kid.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We've made this point before, many many times. It's in
my heart of hearts. I think that most people are libertarians.
I think most people are I'm a libertarian lower case philosophically.
But everybody's got this one thing, this one thing. It's
gay marriage in Israel, that one thing where they want
the government to be all encompassing and control everything about it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
And you remember what uh that uh guy Curly was it?
I forget what about the Three Stooges? No in uh
uh Billy Crystal goes on vacation. Oh you're talking about
cities like Citi's liquors and oh Curly, there that was
that guy who could crap bigger than you. He told him,
he said at the end of the movie. He's like,
that's what life is all about. It's that one thing.
(20:28):
He's like, but what is that one thing? That's what
you got to find out, Billy, what's your thing?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Billy?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Do you remember when my father passed, Well, yeah, my
father was obsessed with the quote in that movie.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is that right? Yeah? He would repeat it to people
all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Might not that my father had one where he says,
I crap bigger than you.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That that quote?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, the one thing, Oh, Billy cleared it up, that's all.
When my father was alive, he had a lot of
people who he mentored in both the business community and
he was for fine on the side.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
He was an artist.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Did they want to be mentored or did he just
force it on him? They did? No, it wasn't unsolicited.
When my dad died, his funeral was filled with people.
There was nowhere to sit in the entire room. There
was a good sign that there were so many people there.
We didn't have enough chairs. The back of the room
was packed with people, and my father, when he was alive,
used to every one of them would would hear my
(21:21):
dad at least one time in their mentorship repeat that
line from City Slickers. It was the corniest line, but man,
it was great advice. Stuck, do you know what the
secret of life is?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
What this an? Your finger. One thing, just one thing.
You stick to that and everything else. Don't mean shoed.
That's great, but that's the one thing. That's what you
got to figure out.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
It's Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, the day you used to.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Get a jump on the weekend and start drinking, but
now you drinkday

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.
