Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let me see if I'm pronouncing this correctly. Mon tucked
un got locked? Okay, uh is that correct? Probably not.
It's an old Yiddish proverb. It's very very old. That's
not right at all. Then, mon tracked un got What
it means loosely translated, it basically means man plans and
(00:25):
God laughs. A more modern version of that expression would be,
if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
It's a classic dude, play the hits, you know. I
bet Charlie Kirk had a lot of plans. Oh sure, yeah.
And and but Jimmy Kimmel, he's the real victim. Weirdly,
Donald Trump gave Jimmy Kimmel permission to do his show again.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Wasn't that generous and nice? That was very nice.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Donald Trump has told the FCC they will they better
put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air and do it now.
And so you know, they're just doing what Trump orders
them to do, just like when he ordered them to
take him off. I'm sure, sure, right, yeah, okay, So
obviously we're saying this in jest. But the fact that
you mean it wasn't true. No, Oh well, I guess
(01:10):
we don't really have to tell the truth, do we.
I mean they started it. Yeah, they didn't. They never
corrected the record. Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air
for saying some Look. I don't get offected by anything,
but I would say what he said was objectively ugly.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And it was false.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It wasn't accurate, right, he didn't he didn't make a
truthful statement.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Like I said, they started it. Now we can just
tell lies NonStop whatever we want.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Neither ABC nor Disney, it's the same organization or Jimmy
Kimmel or his producers have admitted that they were wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
They haven't apologized.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Maybe the apology comes tonight when he returns to TV.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But no doubt it.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
In the bigger picture, here wasn't the whole point to
take it. The whole narrative after he was taken off
the air was that somehow this was Trump's fault. YEP,
Trump took him off the air, and now Trump's putting
him back on. I guess there's no other explanation for it.
According to their law.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
YEP, if he had the power to remove him, then
he put him back. That's how it goes. However, Sinclair
broadcast group, the company that started this back lesh in
the first place with ABC, they said, not on our network.
So what is that about forty cities, forty markets where
they won't be running kimmelf tonight.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, so Sinclair is to me a smaller broadcast company.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I would think of it that way.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I wouldn't think like ABC is a mega company that's Disney,
NBC is humongous. Does Sinclair even have a streaming app?
I don't think that they do. So I say all
that to make this point. Days ago, leftists, lawmakers, democrats,
prominent members of the liberal elite were just absolutely irate
(02:49):
at the fact that Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the
air was a violation of your free speech. Now, Senator
Scott Wiener of Louisiana says that he cannot wait to
break Sinclair up. Corporate media consolidation doesn't jibe with democracy, says, so.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That freedom of speech and all that that only works
on your side.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
The same Democrat lawmakers who cried about three free speech
for the last several days are now promising to dismantle
a small, local, rural broadcast TV company because they don't
want to carry one.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Show imagine that, and it sounds like apocrisy to me
and you.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
They don't even see it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And by the way, forget about politics for a minute.
It's a bad business move to put that show on
the air. You can't blame them for not wanting to
air Jimmy's garbage show. Do you think people in Middle
America in small communities where Sinclair owns ABC affiliates, but
they're in you know, places like I don't know, Waco,
that kind of place.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I don't have the list in front of me. Also,
I believe Washington, DC. Really, that's the one I've heard
about recently.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I also noticed Austin was on the list, but it
wasn't mostly bigger cities like that. Now here's what else
is amazing about Sinclair is all this is happening. Sinclair's
embroiled in two controversies. The other is that apparently Sinclair
wanted to air Charlie Kirk's funeral right, but because of
(04:19):
the shooting at the Sacramento facility of ABC TV studio
there basically the terrorist one, Sinclair canceled airing a tribute
to Charlie Kirk after ABC stations got violent threats. According
to a report out yesterday. I am amazed at the
fact that somehow in this little culture war here, the
(04:39):
last forty eight hours, well at least the last twenty
four hours, it really kind of looks like the left
get the better of us.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I mean, how is this? How did this happen?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You're telling me, after all that it was clear as day,
you guys martyred an innocent man, then you laughed on him,
you desecrated his grave, you mocked his widow, and now
you guys are win.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's a huh.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
There's also a backstory about the fact that Disney is
attempting to buy the NFL network, and that they were
going to need to curry some favor with Trump, FCC
all the higher ups who might try to get in
the way of that purchase if they so chose. No,
(05:24):
I don't know how that plays out in this but
it certainly looking like some powerful movers and shakers in
the world have decided to play a little game with
all of us. You know, we're just a little toy
soldiers out here. They're moving around on a map.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, Well, the culture war continues. I wonder years ago
conservatives abandoned Nike because of Colin Kaepernick, they abandoned Budweiser
because of Dylan mulvaney, almost forgot that little Traineese name.
And now and now this if Disney and ABC get
a hold of the NFL, I.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Know, yeah, hey, but NFL has already kind of messed
up anyway. Yeah, ever since the Colin Kaepernick thing, I've
just not really been able. I mean, I'll look at
some every now and then, but if if something else
comes up, oh, I'm happy to go do that instead.
Do you think the Kimmel's show is going to be
better now than it was a week ago?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Does it start with an apology and admission that he lied?
I doubt it.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He'll probably talk about it in some way, but that
it'll just be a straight up yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I shouldn't have said that. That was wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
No, that's not gonna happen. Look, you cannot offend me
with words. Tell the most vile joke you want. I've
heard it before. I don't care. But as from a
business point of view, roughly one third of the country
is pretty upset that Charlie Kirk got murdered. Now that
does offend me. I don't care about words. Words, whatever
I could change the channel. I don't care. Jimmy Kimmel
(06:51):
came on the air and said, but for forget about
the lie he told. He said Donald Trump talked about
Charlie Kirk's death like a child who just lost his goldfish.
Well wait a second, in my mind, I think a
child that just lost his goldfish would be pretty sad.
Donald Trump's sad that his friend got murdered. What pointer
you make? What does that even mean? And now you
expect people to tune in and watch it. You're mad
(07:13):
that roughly one third of the country won't watch this
show now. And by the way, the other two thirds
of the country weren't watching it either.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
No, and they're not going to There might be a
trickle of interest since it has been in the news
for a week now. It's not going to make his
show any better, and it's not going to make more people.
As a matter of fact, I think less people will
watch now than before. And that's really the bottom line
why they took him off in the first place, not
making any money for him.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, and also, mediums of entertainment evolve and change. Look
at talk radio. It's so different now than it was
ten twenty thirty years ago, even this radio show. Obviously
he's very different than it was, not just because of
yours truly, but a lot of reasons why you would
probably agree with that, right, Yeah, sure, it's not changed,
and it will continue to change as long as we're
doing it.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Music has changed, yep, right, everything does. The only thing
that you can count on is change.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Stand up comedy has changed, right, Entertainment in general is hinch.
Has the formula for late night TV changed since Johnny Carson?
They've changed one thing about it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's Marxist rhetoric. Now it's the same idea.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
This host comes out, he does a monologue, there's a skit,
he brings out celebrity guests. They have a pre rehearsed
conversation that allows the guests to tell a funny anecdote,
followed by plugging their new project. A band performs. The
show ends. That has been the basic formula since I
mean at Sullivan. The only difference is now it's not
(08:39):
funny anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's not fun They took the.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Jokes out and replaced it with leftist rhetoric. They took
the punchlines out right. They're not trying to get laughs.
They're trying to get an applause for some comment. It
sounds like Rachel Maddow would have made not the late
night talk show host.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
One of the first things people noticed, the difference in
the Carson and the rest of these guys.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I guess a letterman too. A point.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Back in those days, they would have people on the
show that weren't selling things. But a long time ago,
before any of this controversy, they would have They put
people on out And I can guarantee you anybody from
the world of music show beiz, anybody that goes on
any of these late night talk shows now they have
(09:20):
a book, a movie, a new album, they have something
coming out to sell you.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's that's just the different business model. It's an it's
an infomercial. It was a guy. Hugh Hefner was the
Playboy guy, right, didn't He used to have a late
night talk show where it was really just people hanging
out and there was no script and nothing happened.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Probably I don't. I don't remember it, but I'm sure
they did.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I've heard that. It'd be interesting. I'm sure the left
could handle that interrational way today.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
If, like if some.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Playboy honky misogynist had a thing where he just hangs
out with hot naked checks and has candid conversation with
other dudes that bang hot chicks. By the way, you
notice AOC and Chasmin Crockett are getting really fat these days.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, how about that? Up with that? With that surf
for porn Tuesday, Walton and Johnson Radio Network. So maybe
too early for us to just be rocking out in here,
but we say it. No, that's okay, No, no, no,
we're rocking hard. We're hard rockers. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
This is actually Bad Company redid some of their classics
with newer rock bands. This is the Struts with Bad Company.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I always liked that song. That's kind of smart.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Actually, when you're getting too old to sing all your
old hits, just get some teenager to sing it while
you stand there and just kind of play the rhythm
part and then you get all the money.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's kind of brilliant. Actually, that works for me.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I'm not even mad at you guys. Good thing at
Bad Company. Here's your chuck. You've earned it. Oh, speaking
of live performances, I don't know. I can't think of
a better way to segue to this. That's terrible actually
based on what I'm about to say, but I'll say
it anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Not far away from here, there's community called Spring Branch.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
You've heard of it, Steve, Yeah, matter of fact, I
lived in it, went to school in it, pretty much
grew up in Spring Branch.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Back in the day that was a suburb. But now
it's practically the city, right, it is the city. Yeah,
I never I never thought I lived outside of Houston. No, No,
I don't know what the roles are. Well anyway, because.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's it's all part of Houston, and.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Isn't there also a thing about the socioeconomic factors, like.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh you're north of Ian, you're not south of a
tan Well.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, there's that Memorial area versus the regular Spring Branch.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I was regular.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We didn't we didn't go into Memorial much.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I was at I don't know when this was a
while back. I was at someone's house in Spring Branch.
I said, oh, I like your new house, and they said, oh,
my wife hates it.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It's north of an Well. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's like, what do you mean that's regular? Like, oh,
it's only a four hundred thousand dollars house. It's not
four million dollars, like, well, this is a nice house.
What are you talking about divorce your wife?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So, uh, not far away from here in Spring Branch
there is a high school Stratford, I believe it's called Yes,
there is, and the young men and women teenagers, we're
having a conversation in a private chat room on the internet. When,
because where else would it be, they said, what we
ought to do is we ought to you know, this
thing with Charlie Kirk. We got to start our own
(12:17):
Turning Point USA chapter. And apparently some other teenagers said, ah,
that's cool. We could find a sponsor, some local businesses,
and they started discussing a very wholesome thing about how
these teenagers were not going to do drugs or have
premarital sex. Instead, they were going to start a young
Republican come group. And a local mom from the Spring
Branch Democrats was furious, so she posted screenshots of their
(12:42):
conversation on the internet, dosing the teenage kids their kids.
And now there's a lot of outrage over this because she,
you know, someone like, are you trying to get the murdered?
You know what had just happened to Charlie Kirk. So
the Attorney General found out that's Ken Paxton, and he
is announcing an event with students targeted for starting a
Turning Point USA chapter, and he has asked us to participate.
(13:05):
So on Wednesday. Is that tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I believe it would be.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Tomorrow at the Las Scala Ballroom on the first floor
of the Moran Hotel. You don't need to know where.
It's City Center. For those that don't know, it's a
big shopping center over there. Most people would know City Center.
Get there at six point thirty and yours truly will
be there with a bunch of others, and we are
going to rage against the Karen Moms figuratively speaking.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
One of those Hoe President wannabes. You know, they didn't
quite make the cut in their own neighborhood. I wanted
to run this neighborhood. I wanted to run the h away.
I didn't get enough vote.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So I'll just run somebody else's life.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah. I saw a picture of the mom that did this,
that docks the kids. She was almost as fat and
disgusting as AOC and Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh no, oh no, it's Tuesday, Tuesday. It's Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday. Yes,
any bed right.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Bad, The Early Bird.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
This is the Waltman Johnson Show.
