Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gotta be the most wide awake I've been on a
Monday morning and months. I mean, having a little Christmas
break sleeping in a few days really does something.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
For the for the spirit. Look you look while rested. Yes,
I feel good.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
No, that's gonna change soon because we'll be getting up
early at least a couple of days this week before
we have to go. They force us to take some
more time off for the holidays. They're not over yet.
We're gonna be with you for at least the next
couple of days. It's not up to us. They won't
let us work on New Year's Day. We swear we
want to work. They say work Nah, yeah, not fair.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I think they think will probably be way too hungover
to really, you know, do a good job. Not me, No,
me mainly.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh yeah, and me, don't forget me. I look, everybody
People's champ is away quick up, y'all.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Y'all need to start show over because it's not official
until you tell everybody happy Quanta.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh yes, it is the Walton and Johnson Annual Kwanza
celebration here on your favorite morning show.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
How many damn days do they get? I mean, Christmas
is a day, maybe two if you count Christmas Eve, okay,
oh Christmas. But the Honica people, I'm sorry, Chinooka, they
get like eight crazy nights. Now, how many days is
is Kwansa because it started the day after Christmas?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh, you asked the right guy. I don't know if
you're aware of this. You're like an expert on kwansam
Quansa enthusiasts. I had no idea. Yeah, seven days is
the short answer to that. And here we are working.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, well, well, you know that's just disrespectful, is what
that is.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's important to us now, as you know, Kwansa is
an important celebration. Celebrate with the what are we celebrating exactly?
It's well, hang on a second, unity, self determination, collective work, responsibility,
cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Stop it, you're killing me.
What's it early about? That's what they do? Yeah, each

(01:59):
to the ninth, he'd say the Knights that Kwansa has
a different theme Night number four, which is tonight, Yeah,
which would be tonight is cooperative economics? Now, Billy, yet
it's they call it ujama tonight's ujama bill. Yet I'm
not a what color of a candle we like for this.
I We'll get to that in a second because I
don't know the answer. But before we distract ourselves too much,
what does cooperative economics mean? Bill? Yet?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I think that's how the Somali's got rich. I think
you're right, and I'm sure other people are working on it.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Too, cooperative economy. Do they celebrate Kwansa in Somalia? No,
they're anywhere other than America. I'm not even sure they
celebrated in America. Well, it's on the calendar. Let the
iPhone put it on the calendar. It's a very important holiday.
As you know. I have a black friend and his
name's imaginary. I'm just kidding. I do know black people.

(02:49):
I do know black people, and none of them celebrate this.
I know black people from Africa. They don't know what
it is. What bart Africa. I have friends from Nigeria.
I have friends from South Africa, have friends from Egypt
all over the continent. Egypt Is that in Africa? It
sure is? Yeah? Now okay, now Kwansa is It's my

(03:09):
point in pointing out the cooperative economics thing. Kwansa is
low key Marxist stuff. It's communism in disguise as Black
pride is what it is, and it is not the celebration.
Kwanza is not without its foibles. As a matter of fact,
it was started in nineteen sixty six by a guy
named Mulana Kurenga, a black nationalist. Now, I've been told

(03:32):
nationalism is bad, but I guess it's okay when it's
Oh it's a black nationalist, that's a different thing. How
come they didn't just call it Kurenga. Well, his last
name is I don't know. That would have been a
better name than Kwanza. I think Krenga was convicted in
nineteen seventy one of felony assault and false imprisonment for
torturing two women in his organization. Well what did they do? Though?

(03:54):
Now critics call it a fa holiday, an invention without
any ancient African roots. They're right. It's initially positioned as
an anti Christian and alternative to Christmas, and it's tied
back to the nineteen sixties black nationalist movement. Funny thing
about that. Do you remember a former vice president who
claimed to celebrate Kwanza when she was growing up, even

(04:17):
though it did not technically exist.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
A former vice president who might have celebrated Kwanza as
a child, She said she didn't. Yeah, I can't imagine
who that would be.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Well, I want to remind everybody because I'm going to
make her hold her responsible. Kammelin once claimed to have
celebrated this as a child. Did someone pointed out it
didn't exist before nineteen sixty six? You were a little girl. Then,
how did your family learn about something so quickly that
was just invented five minutes ago? What's up with that?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, it's a good story, and it's for the kids,
you know. It's for the kids, Kenny. We let them,
you know, have a little lee way in their storytelling.
Like when she talked about how she enjoyed a certain
rap group that in school.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh, she said in the eighties, when she was in college,
her favorite rapper was Tupac. Yeah, that guy. Now he
didn't show up on the scene until his debut album
in nineteen ninety two. Who see, So it would be
kind of hard for you to listen to an album
that doesn't exist yet, let's face it.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
She learned this storytelling from Barack Obama, who told us
about how he met the lovely Michelle, who would become
his wife. They met on that bridge in Selma.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I believe celebrating Kwanza would have been exceedingly.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
The Selma thing was well after they had already met,
I think got married.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh no, it's true now now, Joe was there when
George Washington crossed over the river in his Delaware And
of course Kamala was there for the first Quonzo celebration,
even though it doesn't make any sense and there's no
proof that they knew each.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Other, and well, we're certainly not here to call politicians
out for their foibles.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
That is that what your word was earlier? Do you
remember when I think that's just a foible? I think
it's a foible too. Do you remember when Chuck Schumer
looked at it? But I don't know how to spell
it f o I b always anyway, Do you remember
when Chuck Schumer pretended to grill a cheeseburger? Yes? I do.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
All I'm saying is all Hamburger patties with cheese, slices
of cheese on them on the grill.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Eh, that's wrong. Then this just seemed like weird stuff
to lie about, Like this isn't gonna win you any election?
Pretending to grill a cheeseburger when you don't know how
to grill on pretending to be It's the first Kwanza
pretending to be a Tupac fan when he doesn't have
an album out yet. I don't get it. It's fine.
You could have just not said it and nobody would
have thought anything. Yeah, you're making which begs the question,

(06:45):
what were you doing at the time if you had
to invent this story, what were you at it like
burning crosses in people's front yards or what the hell
were you doing.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I feel like they have to reach out to us,
the average man or woman on the street, and have
to let us know that they're very much like us,
only better.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh yeah, yeah. Have you had a chance to watch
the fifty cent produced documentary.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
All but Brayleane's been tugging on me about it. Man,
I don't like it. Rap crap?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
You know that, Well, then you might love this documentary
because it's all about how horrible a rap concert. It's
not a show in that regard at all. That's Steve's
crack billy, no rapping in it. It's all about rappers.
It's about the crimes that and the business and the story.
And I do know this our.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Buddy Fitty right, who's also named Kurdish, who lives here
in Houston, and we run into.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Him time to time. He not a big Diddy fan. No,
they've known each other a long time now. Fifty cent
seems like a good guy to me. And I think
he produced the documentary up in Shreveport, because isn't that
where his movie studio is at. I believe it is.
And that is just a great ample of how people
are actually starting to occupy that area and do some

(08:05):
really great work in the media. Work they are. But
on a side note here, I had no idea all
these rappers were gay. I didn't. They're all gay. I
don't care for it. Wait a second, hold on, that's
the most amazing thing about the documentary. Everyone and none
of these rappers were snitches, except for people are mad
at Kid Cuddy because he.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Called the cops. And what's that stand up comedian to name?
It was out in all these people year a year
or two ago. You're talking about Kat Williams, that guy. Yeah,
I mean, he had some stuff to say about people
in the new Dave Chappelle special. He kind of defends
Diddy a little bit. Is that right, Well, did you
called him out? Well, no, that was Kat Williams the Belly. Yeah,

(08:46):
oh I thought you met on the New Dave Chappelle Special.
Cat Williams defends him in the said he and we
were talking about Kat, so that you met that guy.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Dave defends him a little bit. Uh, Jack john are
you familiar with this famous boxer? Yeah, and at one
point he was Alveston. Yeah. He was the first black
heavyweight world champions thrown. And the thing they convicted him
for was called the Man Act. Uh huh. It was
about transporting a woman over state lines so you could

(09:18):
fornicaters a white woman. Well, yes, it was that. Is
that the real problem there? That was back in those days.
That was Jack Johnson's whole thing. Huh. Was he like
beating up white boxers and having sex with which was
a touchy thing at the time, But you can see
how people might have been upset it, but he had
every right to do it. Now, the difference between Jack

(09:38):
Johnson and Puff Daddy, both of them were convicted for
the Man Act, I'm told is that the women that
Puff Daddy was bringing over state lines were not the
white wives of some boxer. No, no, they were R
and B singers, and they were black women, among other things.
They did not want to go right, Okay, I think
they did. I don't think they wanted to once they there,

(10:00):
I think, well, no, once they got there, no. But
I think, well, it's a gray area because it was prostitution,
which would imply it was a consenting exchange of money
and services. But you're but you're right. Once you know
how to be romantic, don't you. Once they showed up
at the orgy and realized they were going to have
to dress like a professional wrestler and get slapped on
the buttocks while puff Daddy sprayed them with baby oil

(10:23):
their clothes. Monday morning. I feel pretty rough on Monday.
You feel me? I feel it. It's great, Great Mondays.
Hashtag girl Monday. Walton and Johnson Radio Network. People are
probably noticing it's a live show today. It's a live
show today, and we're not playing Christmas music anymore. The
holidays are over. Well, Christmas is over. Yeah, watch out

(10:46):
for quans of music. So you've gotten back to just regular, old,
the normal rotation of music. New Starland Vocal Band Afternoon
to Light. It's just a fun song about having sex
in the middle of the day, Billy, is that what
that is? I had no idea saw one hundred years old?

(11:08):
Is it really? Yeah, we don't have that problem with
old things on the show. We're back in like eighteen hundreds.
I think it's right. Joe Biden was in high school
when song was released.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
We got a lot of emails coming in, people asking questions,
what did you do, where'd you go, who'd you see,
what'd you get for Christmas? All that kind of stuff.
But the most emails seemed to be about that little fox.
Oh yeah, remember when he was out there at the
ski place a couple of weeks ago and little Fox
just popped up. You must have put the video online

(11:40):
and people saw the fox.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
We talked about Fox on the air.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Did you guys bring your little fox friend back to
Houston with you? No, he was a little skittish because
of Winston, the dog that friends of ours had. He
was on the inside of the glass door and the
fox was outside, kind of kind of chilly.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, we were. Look, we were all at Steve's ski
cabin in Colorado a couple of weeks ago. It's really
the Walta Johnson ski cabin. Isn't it. I mean, I
feel like it's as much mine as he is. Steve,
would you agree that it's Billy HUD's ski cabin?

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Once once or twice a year, once or twice a year,
and it comes right back to me.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, we're all hanging out in the living room, man.
There's a back patio there that overlooks the mountain, beautiful, wet,
very popular center place in the house where everyone kind
of mills about and hangs out together. And I'm standing
there and I'm not saying I was drunk or high
or whatever, but I was not expecting to see a fox.
And I turn and I look at the fox, and

(12:43):
I kind of get down with my camera phone.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
He put he put his nose against the glass. He
came right up like he wanted to climb up on you.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
That that fox was not afraid of me at all.
He wanted to be my friend, but he was afraid
of Winston. When here comes the dog, Winston's Winston is
a dog. Yeah, that's true. And when Wintersteon came over,
he ran for it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I did put some some food out for a couple
of nights. I know everybody was like, oh, don't feed it,
you know, it'll just keep coming back. But you know
what if that fox had babies back at the at
her at her den and she needed food to feed
the babies, you know, and and so I put a
little food. Never did see the fox come back and
get it. But overnight, sometime while we were sleeping, you know,

(13:26):
the food disappeared.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, you left her summer summer sausages. Yeah, and I
don't understand that because that cheese. Don't forget the cheese.
You don't. You don't have this summer sausage with that's
some good rat cheese. Is it's still a summer sausage
if you're meaning it eating at the first week of winter,
I believe it is. It is.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, the package didn't change none. N It's one of
the guys that asked the question. He said, the fox
is here in the Algiers section where I live. These
they tend to get used to being around people that
that fox looks like he'd been to that porch before.
Oh yeah, we're not always there. He had dog like
instincts uh huh for sure.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, and I gotta think other people have been feeding
that fox. Oh yeah, whoever, because didn't Steve didn't when
your daughter was there last summer, didn't, She says she saw.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
At the end of March. They were still skiing last
you know, earlier this year. Basically, uh yeah, and the
fox came there. This first time I'd heard about it.
And that's the first time we actually saw it. When
we were there, that fox loved summer sausages and gummies.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
I didn't know what. Yeah, what's up something about living
in Colorado. It's just the lifestyle there.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Foxes in New Orleans started showing up several years ago
because the city went down cut all the trees off
of West Bank on the levee by Algier's point out
there is that right, And they didn't know foxes were
living there. And now they just kind of wander the
streets early in the morning all around the Algiers area.
So they're getting used to it. Every time I say

(14:52):
the word fox though, and you're probably too young for
this Saturday Night Live Steve Martin.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
And too old and crazy guys.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
We are looking for some foxes. And they did their
their dance like that. While they did it. They want
to meet the foxes because that was hot chicks back
in the back in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, I swear to god, I thought you were tearing Ankroyd.
For sure. It felt like it was so good. It
really was. I was just nailed it there. It was
very funny back and wow, I remember old SNL was
just sure you probably saw reruns. Sure, yeah, I think
we had the best of on VHS tape. Oh boy, Yeah,
it was a different time then. Well the Foxes aside,
there are other people out on the streets of New Orleans,

(15:34):
drug addicts, homeless people. Do you know what I don't
see as often in the South that I see in
cities up north, Because I was just in Chicago. Yeah,
did you see anybody get murdered? No, but I did
see people did get murdered, you sure see it. Didn't
witness it. No, I went to Second City. I saw
a show. It was met and but that's besides the point.
I saw people on fentanyl and they kind of well,

(15:56):
they're doing the thing.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
The thing the bend over at the waste and just
and hang there and look like zombies who who haven't
woken up yet.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
It's like the way the zombies will just kind of
stagger around and then they get the scent of some
fresh non zombie blood.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm sure they exist in the South. Didn't they come up?
I don't see the Fennel addicts in Houston. I saw
them in Chicago. I was like, there they are. It's
being such a big problem, you think you'd see more
of it down here. But we do have good news.
Houston is number one right now in the country for
ice arrests. We're number one. Now, we're number one. You

(16:32):
say that it's good news.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, yeah, but we were in a competition with New Orleans,
and New Orleans is like.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, there's not good news. Does we didn't win with competition.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
They've got a pretty good number of criminals are arrested
in the New Orleans area. But yeah, Houston just just team.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
And and by the way, to people on the left
that are mad about this, oh the mayor's helping them,
blah blah blah. Houston is the number one headquarters the
capital in North America for human trafficking. Aren't you just
a little bit glad or at least not surprised that
we have the most ice attainments, were number one for
human trafficking. Guys, that's not nothing. That's a pretty serious problem.

(17:10):
That's right. High five from jait No, no, that's not
a celebration. From January twentieth to October fifteenth, according to
data analyzed by The New York Times, ICE supported fifty
two hundred at large arrests in the Houston community and
within the same time period as Houston also came out
as the city with the most ICE arrests at jails
and prisons ninety three hundred detainments. How about that jails

(17:34):
and prisons? What your man? That would imply these were criminals?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, as a matter of fact, we have some new
data that has just come out from the Washington Examiner.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Once it's a seventy percent of all illegal aligen illegal
immigrants they refer to them as the invaders, sure arrested
by ICE under the Trump administration from January twentieth of
this year to yesterday, seventy percent of them are either
convicted criminals are individuals with pending criminal charges here in

(18:08):
the United States. They've arrested approximately five hundred and ninety
five thousand, over well over half a million illegals since
Trump took office, and more than four hundred and sixteen
thousand of those had US criminal convictions. Are active charges
for crime against them. Now, one of these brilliant politicians

(18:33):
that are heard mouthed off over the last week or
so was talking about the fact that they're out there
arresting these illegals and they haven't even committed any crimes.
Then this was a politician who's supposed to know the
laws and stuff like that. Why do you think, and
this is maybe a question for the whole room here, sure,

(18:55):
why do you think we refer to them as the
illegal of caringe.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
I agree with the point, but I also know what
liberals will say as a rebuttal. They're gonna say, well,
it's not a criminal offense, it's a civil offense. It's like,
it's an offense, Well, it's still illegal. It offends me
if somebody went out and committed misdemeanor assault, like they
just punched a guy in the face. You're like, well,
it's just a misdemeanor. Yeah, it's still pretty bad. The
guy's got a broken nose over here. He didn't care

(19:20):
for it much. In the meantime, US executions have hit
a fifteen year high in twenty twenty five, which shouldn't
surprise anyone. President Trump did say that once he was
back in office, America would be killing it. That's right. Yeah,
what day is it. It's Monday morning. What Monday morning?
Monday morning? So going here? Heay. He was ready for
a great first day, getting ready for the big day,

(19:42):
get ready for a great week. Every day's a great
lift for me. I'm a person who ow's his positivity.
