Speaker 1 (00:01):
Just a little update from what we were just talking about.
By the way, some people are just waking up, so
they don't know we were just talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Be honest with you, I don't remember either.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Remind me we were talking about how there's a local
government official in our community. Oh yeah, okay, who spends
nine hundred thousand dollars a year on private security. I mean, well,
if Lena Hidalgo, Yeah, if you're not from Houston, Texas,
if you're not from Texas, maybe you didn't know. Lena
Handalgo is the single most powerful Democrat elected official in
(00:29):
the state of Texas.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
She don't look that strong to me. I think you
could take her kinny.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
That's not what that means, Bill.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
She's kind of spindly talking about political political influence. Her
little arms and legs looks like stick figures, and she
reminds you of like a nine to twelve year old girl.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You're not wrong, but again, that's not what we're not
talking about. Her lifting weights, Billy Edwards, she don't lift,
there's no way. Yeah, no, come on, don't be right.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
She might lift our wallets out of our pockets, but
you know that's what democrats do.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Anyway, nine hundred thousand dollars. To put that in perspective,
an A list celebrity in Hollywood, I am told we'll
spend about one point four million dollars a year on
private security, like the most famous people in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Okay, now they spend just a little bit more than Lena.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, isn't that amazing? Like, and we're talking about the
most famous people on earth, not a local government official.
I don't think the governor spends that much on security
every year, probably not nine hundred thousand for what to
protect you from? Who is talking about?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Whitmyer, the Houston mayor while ago being around the ball
game without any security, no, no entourage, nobody, you know.
I'm I mean that might have had some you know,
some swat team guys, you know, putting a red dot
on the back of your head while you were taking
that picture with him, but you never knew it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
In the middle of a baseball stadium, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, they'll stage them up in the rafters and put
them places. You know, they got sharpshooters everywhere. But he also,
I don't know if you knew this or not back
probably before you ever got to town. He used to
go running in that same park where you go running,
and he used to just run all by himself, and
he was always you know, people knew who he was.
(02:14):
He was in politics. I've heard that, but I've never
ran into him over there. Well, he's probably too busy
now for cardio. Well you know, maybe he's got a
treadmill in his office.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well that being sad. The streets of our country are
quite dangerous, you know. I get that people, I get
that people need some security.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I mean could be that if you missed him by
you know, I mean if you ran for an hour
and then you left fifteen minutes later he shows up,
you're never going to run into each other.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well, if not the streets of Washington, DC, and then
the streets of Seattle. There's a lot of danger out there.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I't I wouldn't go running in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
A gunman who once plowed his car into a MAGA
voter registration drive has now been accused of And I'm
just gonna go ahead and say I think he did
it because we watched the video. It was obvious that
he did it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, he did fire his gun at a wheelchair bound man.
What a wheelchair? Yeah, no, somebody, you don't shoot a guy.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Point blank range, point blank range for stealing allegedly stolen valor.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Now, was the guy in a wheelchair pointing a gun
at him?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, that's what he claims. We watched the video the
chaos unfoalded in downtown Seattle along the popular Alaskan Way boardwalk.
This happened July thirty first, but the video has just
now gone viral because it I don't know, because it did.
And a gentleman, a gentleman, a man named Gregory tim
confronts a sixty eight year old about his military service.
(03:43):
He's the guy in a wheelchair, yeah, the prosecutors claimed.
The man the shooter, who's thirty two years old, demanded
to see the victim's military idea and removed a military
patch from the victim's belongings moments before the shooting. This
prompted the victim to unholster what investigators identify as an
airsoft gun. Oh boy, According to a video obtained by well,
(04:06):
we all saw the video, what.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Does that shoot those little plastic darts?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I guess is that that? And isn't it supposed to
be orange on the ice? Set's supposed to have a little
tip on it. Anyway. At this point, the shooter, the suspect,
steps back, reaches into his bag, takes out a real gun,
and shoots the victim point plank range.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It was pretty sad to watch, too, because as he
looks like he's only ever held that gun maybe once
or twice before this. He has to reach around in
his bag, unzip a pocket, reach in find the gun.
At that point, you know, anybody with real firearm experience
would have probably shot him eight or ten times. But
(04:44):
he finally gets the gun out, points it at the
guy and what are they ten feet apart?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, at the most in front of a Starbucks out
on the street in a tourist area with dozens of
people walking around, including kids and women.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now you can't see, you know, from that perspective, you
can't see what the and the wheelchair is doing with
his gun. I didn't even know for sure if he
had a gun. But all of a sudden, the guy
just lets Lukes just pops him.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah. And anyway, if you ever hear the words King County,
and you wonder where that is they're talking about Seattle.
The suspect has been arrested. He's been detained and charged
in King County first degree assault, Class A felony, being
held on seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Bard had that old board in the wheelchair holding up.
Did he pop him good or did he just take
it and wheel his way out?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It wasn't one of them wheelchairs for warriors wheelchairs.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Was it it? Do? Hope not. It doesn't say he's
dead in the report. I don't know. Yeah, I guess
just injured. Pretty serious injury. Though it looks like, oh yeah, yeah,
getting shot. You know it ain't for the week. Yeah,
he's not being charged with homicide. He's being charged with assaults.
So the gentleman's not dead, not even attempted murder. Well
(05:55):
that thing you shoot a guy? Yeah, attempted murder. All
to come up? Well, they say it's Seattle. Yeah, but
you know, in their defense, it's possible there will be
more charges later on, after the prosecutors look at it
and realize a white guy shot a black guy. But
then also they're gonna look into it and realize that
the white guy was an anti Trump guy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
This is news that you have just brought to the
story that changes everything. The complexion of the story has
suddenly altered.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The guy in a wheelchair was a brother black villain.
Let's not pretend that doesn't matter. In a place like Seattle.
It matters. Look, I'm sorry. I don't make the rules,
and neither do they actually they just make them up.
But the skin color of the victim and the suspect
will affect the outcome of a case in a place
like Seattle. Unfortunately it's true though, And you know whatever,
(06:45):
it shouldn't matter the guy even if he did steel valor,
you're still not supposed to take out your gun and
shoot a guy. Of course, he took out his airsoft
gun and that was what triggered the whole thing. But
I didn't see him point the gun at the shooter
in the video, so it's it's nuanced. It's layered like
a plate of nachos.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I can't really see what's happening for sure in the video.
One hundred percent. We're not wanted to rush to just
just like some people to go oh saw a video
Mike doesn't always tell the whole story, doesn't and maybe
you should see the video from the other side. One
hundred and eighty degree difference might change the story.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
We don't know, and we just spent thirty minutes telling
you about AI generated video. Oh yeah, Now, for the record,
Billy and I can tell when videos AI generated, but
I don't think a lot of people can. Yesterday I
was messing around with video and I was sending it
to friends of mine, you know, people I know. And
I sent a video to one of my friends. She
was standing in front of that mural in Austin and
(07:37):
she just said to me, Oh, that's cute. I remember
that day. She's like. I said to her, you do
you remember dancing around like that? She said, not really,
but but we remember being there. Yeah. I said, you
didn't do that. She's like, what do you mean? It's like,
that's an AI generated video. She says, no, it's not
said it's a video of you. Watch it again. Do
you really think you did that?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So? Can you tell AI to uh, you got a
steel shot, just a photograph of a hot chick. Can
you tell AI to have her take her top off?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Okay, Well, now you're talking about doing something that would
be a federal crime. Huh. Remember Donald Trump created the
deep fake law? I don't remember, Malania Trump. It was okay,
I get it. A lot's happened over the last six months,
but one of the things they did was make what
you just described illegal the Trump administration. Oh no, so dump.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So it's not making all things in America great again,
is he?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And you see chicks take their top off, Billy, You
could see chicks take their top off. You just can't
do it non consensually. There's plenty of here. It's twenty
twenty five. There's no shortage of footage in the Internet
of women taking their tops off. Are you sure about that?
Are you yep? Yep?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It is twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Do you know what day it is? Today? Is Wednesday,
preceded by Thursday as yoursual? He still sleep right away?
What's on the agenda for today? I believe you're aware
of my Wednesdays.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You might have to refresh my mane Walton M.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Johnson ten years ago. I this is going to be
a story about me, by the way, I should warn you.
Is it just a coincidence that after.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Talking about people that look like they might have been
in the Commodorees, that you are now playing the Commodorees?
It is not a court Ain't no coincidence, No coincidence,
and he knows what he's doing. Let me this book.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, I'm cooking. Okay. So ten years ago, when I
was just the producer of the greatest morning show in America,
I was a columnist for Breitbart Texas. You was a
communist columnist? Huh? Column I wrote an article. I wrote
articles for them. I was an article like a journalist. Well, no,
I wrote about what's Breitbart. I wrote about Texas political news. Okay,
(09:48):
is that is that? Are you okay with that?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Journalist is a bad word these days.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I mean, I don't disagree with you anyway. About sixteen
seventeen minutes ago, the Houston Chronicle published my first ever article.
Oh well, well you should sue them. No. I submitted
it to them and they wrote it, and I haven't
had a chance to read it yet to make well,
I wrote it, and they published it. They put it
in the Piper correct. Yeah, and I haven't had a
(10:14):
chance to read it yet to see if they changed
anything I wrote.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But well, I'm sure they did just scanning over it.
What is it about? What's your story about?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Well, it's about why John Corny needs to drop out,
go away and resign. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That must have been a short story because he sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
He really does. Yeah, well, there you go. Well there's
a lot to be said about it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I'm pretty sure Kenney, you know, probably fluffed it up
a little more besides just Cornyn sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah. It's the people that run the opinion section at
the Houston Chronicle are intellectuals and academics, and they're trying
to get more conservative and libertarian voices. And they asked
me if I would write something, and then I said,
can I write whatever I want? And they said yes,
And I said, you're gonna regret that? Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Are they changed something they couldn't have enjoyed, you know,
everything you wrote.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't know if they changed the final article yet
because I haven't read it, but I'm gonna guess they haven't.
And this is why I say that I wrote an article.
They challenged a few of the claims that I made
in the article before they published it. I had to
prove my you know, due diligence. I had to go
out and get the numbers and data to prove that
I was telling the truth about things like homeless veterans
(11:25):
put on the streets of our country, drug addiction, all
things that I think John Cornyn has contributed to. And
after proving with indisputable data that I was telling the truth,
they came up with a final draft and said this
will be published in.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
The morning, and now it is. It was like that
certainly looks that way. Did you drive down the street
not far from the park where you run all the time?
Yesterday here there was a little gathering of some people
outside of Cornyn's office that don't care for him. You
could have gone over there and you know, asked them
some questions and stuff. What is it about Cornyn that
(12:01):
you don't like? Because they're protesting him every Tuesday, been
doing it for years. I bet they could have told
you some good stuff to put in that article.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The people that are protesting him out on the street
in front of his office are protesting him because they
don't think he's liberal enough, which is ironic because they
all like Jasmine Crockett, and Jasmine Crockett just endorsed.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Him, and she's an idiot, so all the other idiots
are just gonna just fall in line behind her.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Huh. John Cornyn's career is over. He is down by
twenty points in the latest polling. If you look at
polymarket dot com, they think there is like a twenty
five percent chance that he wins.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
They think the Jasmine Crockett endorsement was the final nail.
Sure was just hammered it home. But if at this
trajectory he will go away. By this time next year,
he won't be a candidate anymore. The primaries will be
over and it'll almost be time for the general election.
And when that comes, it won't just be the end
of John Cornyn's career. John Cornyn going away isn't just
about John Cornyn's You're not going to have anything else
(13:01):
to write articles about? Is that what you're worried about?
I'll be fine, but you sure? It's also about the
end of the neocon movement. Billy.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Do you think I'm gonna run out of things to
talk about? You? You haven't yet. You've known me for
a pretty long time. No. No, John Cornon's career coming
to an end won't just mark the end of his legacy.
He's probably the single most powerful Neocon in our government
right now.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And for some younger listeners who might not understand, you know,
your fancy languages and words and stuff, neo con has
nothing to do with the matrix.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
No, it has to do with a bunch of warmongering
liberals who masquerade as conservatives. U huh. But big government cronies,
George W. Bush loving parasites who worship at the altar
of the government at chills when he and when he
goes up. Maybe it's time to stop calling them neo cons.
Maybe it's time to start calling them old cons or something,
(13:56):
or just cons. Well, yeah, but the problem with that
is people, I think we're just talking about conservatives, which
real conservatives don't like the guy. Libertarians don't like him,
right wing populists don't like him. People who love the
constitution don't like him. You know who likes them, Jasmine Crockett.
Which goes back to my original point. What are those
liberals protesting? This is your guy? You should be loving
(14:19):
on some John Cornyn. You should be begging him to
stick around. He's the one that gave you the gun
control bill. I might need to go out there and
interview these guys. Are they there every Tuesday? Tuesday? Yeah,
right around lunchtime. You can get over there. Yeah. I'm
gonna get out there and maybe next Tuesday, I probably won't.
But maybe I notice Billy.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It seems to know a lot about what goes on
around the jogging trails, and he's not a runner.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I think in his defense, you could drive around here. Yeah,
you can drive around the whole loop.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And if you want to park under a shade tree
and have lunch, that's a free show.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Why would you park under a shade tree and have
lunch because it's cooler under the shade. But what are
you watching? A bunch of pink haired freaks with septum
piercings people? Oh, you watch the women jogging in their
little outfits.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Just saying people run by. It can be entertaining, That's
all I'm saying. You know, Billy ed like, can we
just talk like two men for a minute.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Do you find it a little odd how these women
are now wearing they look like tight bike shorts, but
then the fabric goes into their butts.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh yeah, it's cinched. It's that's what you called sen stuff.
What is the athletic purpose of that? Oh, it's not
for the people that wear It is for the people
that sit in their truck and watch them run by.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm at a point I'm in that point in my
life now where I got to start using like balm
or tiger powder or whatever they call it to get
so I don't chafe down there.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It gets a little dry and itchy. You can imagine
what that must feel like, all seen stuff in your crack.
That's what I'm saying. I don't get it. And I'm
doing that with comfortable underwear on. I know they're not comfortable.
What the hell you guys, but are you even working out?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Lady? What is the deal?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Let's not knock it. It's It's a good spectator sport
they got going on right there. Other watch girls run
in the park with their cinched up ash cheeks than
the w NBA, and I bet they could probably pay
as much.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, you're probably right.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, that'd be a good sport right there.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Sure. Yeah, I don't know who's watching WNBA. Now that
they got rid of the dildos on the court, there's
no reason to watch. No ruined it didn't it? Of course,
there is still one way to sneak a dildo into
the game. Oh yeah, yeah, how would you do that?
Prison wallet?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Okay, you know you got to wonder who's in charge
of making these decisions for the ladies that play basketball,
because it seems like when Caitlin Clark came around, that
was a golden opportunity for them to just explode as
a sport and all Americans would come to watch and
see because she was just so you know, good and everything. Sure,
(16:46):
but they downplayed it and they let people you know,
rough her up and be mean to her, and they
what she couldn't go to the All Star Game or whatever,
and they just they just tried to hide the fact
that they got a star.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Now the dildo.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Thing, right, people, once again, we're tuning in. I want
to see the next dildo come flying out. And they said, no,
every time they get something that's gonna put some you know,
some butts into seats, some eyes on the tube, they
they turned.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The other way. I said, the exact same thing. As
soon as they put up that net. Now there's no
reason to watch the game, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yep, the net for the where they shoot the ball.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Right exactly. No, No, the net a net. No, the
net for the dildos to keep the dildos off the cut.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh, that's right, they at the dildo defense net.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, the rooster block net. I mean that's not actually
what it's called. But I don't think I can say
what it's called on there.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I probably shouldn't, That's all I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, you know that reminds me of Friday night I
met Hattiesburg and Bruceki's. We're doing a comedy show there
past Friday. Yeah, past Friday. Yeah, sound like you were
promoting this Friday. You were going to be there. No,
we were just there and a right as the comedy
show ends, our our our audience is clearing out and
a new audience comes into Brucek's to dance. There's a
younger crowd. They have a They used the venue after
(18:01):
the comedy show for a dance club.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Weren't you glad they weren't dancing while you were doing
your comedy That would have been hard.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah. So everybody's our listeners and comedy fans are leaving
and these twenty somethings are walking in. I'm backstage at
the time, so I wasn't quite there when the fight started. Oh,
a fight started, and it involved the guy I was
doing comedy with, got Be Jesse, Jesse Peyton, and I
JP I. It was three of us traveling together, me,
(18:29):
Jesse and a person doing merchandise for us, and so
I'm backstage merch girl, possibly smoking an illicit substance with
one of the promoters, and some of.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
The fans just trying to fit in. I understand Jesse.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Went to go meet with the club owner and the
merch person was putting the merch away girl, we'll just
call me merch girl.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Bending over, putting stuff in in boxes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's exactly right. And just then a bunch of twenty
somethings walk in and surround her and start sexually harassing her.
Uh Uh, For lack of a better explanation, I would
say that's what they were doing. That's when Jesse Peyton
walks out and he sees these guys standing around this
young woman harass and he didn't like it. Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
This guy, if you didn't ever see Jesse, he looks
like he has lifted at some point in his life.
He's tatted up and has done some prison time. Yeah
those are prison tattoos. Yeah. I don't think that's the
kind of guy. These young dance and punks want to crawl.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
No, this was a bunch of white boys who probably
model their lives after Scottie Shuffler. Men.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I wish I'd have been there, me and Jesse'd have
mopped the floor with him.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Billy I'd That's exactly what I said. I'm never there.
I am never there when this happens.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh, I thought you meant you said I wish Billy
d had been there.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
No, I would have been the way to go someone.
Just then, here's what happens with us. Someone runs backstage
and goes, your buddy's getting in a fight. We run
up there, man, I love that. Turn your hat on backwards,
pull your shirt off, and go. We run up to
the front of the club to see what's going on.
It's just Jesse alone, loading his truck up with the
merchandise T shirts and hats and stuff. Yeah, we're like Jesse,
(20:04):
what happened? He said, Well, these young punks came over.
They wanted some some some statics, some beef. I took
care of it. Just then, a black female cop walks over.
She says to Jesse, you do that again, I'm gonna
arrest you. Jesse turns around and says, go ahead. I
did eight years in prison and stay prison. Do you
think I care if I spend the night in county.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Hell yeah, I ain't afraiden to go back to prison.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
She looks at him and realizes he is dead effing serious.
Uh huh. She it occurs to her she doesn't want
to have to deal with filling out the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Or toughing him. She says that point that might have
been a struggle too.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
She says, never mind, walks off Billy had I never
seen anything like.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Him before, And ain't it said it's always the guy
who's defending somebody that ends up getting tossed, not the
people that start the trouble. Yeah, reminds me of a
recent situation. Probably shouldn't go into it.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That does remind me of something that happened to us recently,
But it's besides the point. Honey, we think that snack
cracker in your special outfit for me. Pilton and Johnson
Radio Network
Just a little update from what we were just talking about.
By the way, some people are just waking up, so
they don't know we were just talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Be honest with you, I don't remember either.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Remind me we were talking about how there's a local
government official in our community. Oh yeah, okay, who spends
nine hundred thousand dollars a year on private security. I mean, well,
if Lena Hidalgo, Yeah, if you're not from Houston, Texas,
if you're not from Texas, maybe you didn't know. Lena
Handalgo is the single most powerful Democrat elected official in
(00:29):
the state of Texas.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
She don't look that strong to me. I think you
could take her kinny.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
That's not what that means, Bill.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
She's kind of spindly talking about political political influence. Her
little arms and legs looks like stick figures, and she
reminds you of like a nine to twelve year old girl.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You're not wrong, but again, that's not what we're not
talking about. Her lifting weights, Billy Edwards, she don't lift,
there's no way. Yeah, no, come on, don't be right.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
She might lift our wallets out of our pockets, but
you know that's what democrats do.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Anyway, nine hundred thousand dollars. To put that in perspective,
an A list celebrity in Hollywood, I am told we'll
spend about one point four million dollars a year on
private security, like the most famous people in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Okay, now they spend just a little bit more than Lena.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, isn't that amazing? Like, and we're talking about the
most famous people on earth, not a local government official.
I don't think the governor spends that much on security
every year, probably not nine hundred thousand for what to
protect you from? Who is talking about?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Whitmyer, the Houston mayor while ago being around the ball
game without any security, no, no entourage, nobody, you know.
I'm I mean that might have had some you know,
some swat team guys, you know, putting a red dot
on the back of your head while you were taking
that picture with him, but you never knew it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
In the middle of a baseball stadium, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, they'll stage them up in the rafters and put
them places. You know, they got sharpshooters everywhere. But he also,
I don't know if you knew this or not back
probably before you ever got to town. He used to
go running in that same park where you go running,
and he used to just run all by himself, and
he was always you know, people knew who he was.
(02:14):
He was in politics. I've heard that, but I've never
ran into him over there. Well, he's probably too busy
now for cardio. Well you know, maybe he's got a
treadmill in his office.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well that being sad. The streets of our country are
quite dangerous, you know. I get that people, I get
that people need some security.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I mean could be that if you missed him by
you know, I mean if you ran for an hour
and then you left fifteen minutes later he shows up,
you're never going to run into each other.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well, if not the streets of Washington, DC, and then
the streets of Seattle. There's a lot of danger out there.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I't I wouldn't go running in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
A gunman who once plowed his car into a MAGA
voter registration drive has now been accused of And I'm
just gonna go ahead and say I think he did
it because we watched the video. It was obvious that
he did it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, he did fire his gun at a wheelchair bound man.
What a wheelchair? Yeah, no, somebody, you don't shoot a guy.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Point blank range, point blank range for stealing allegedly stolen valor.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Now, was the guy in a wheelchair pointing a gun
at him?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, that's what he claims. We watched the video the
chaos unfoalded in downtown Seattle along the popular Alaskan Way boardwalk.
This happened July thirty first, but the video has just
now gone viral because it I don't know, because it did.
And a gentleman, a gentleman, a man named Gregory tim
confronts a sixty eight year old about his military service.
(03:43):
He's the guy in a wheelchair, yeah, the prosecutors claimed.
The man the shooter, who's thirty two years old, demanded
to see the victim's military idea and removed a military
patch from the victim's belongings moments before the shooting. This
prompted the victim to unholster what investigators identify as an
airsoft gun. Oh boy, According to a video obtained by well,
(04:06):
we all saw the video, what.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Does that shoot those little plastic darts?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I guess is that that? And isn't it supposed to
be orange on the ice? Set's supposed to have a little
tip on it. Anyway. At this point, the shooter, the suspect,
steps back, reaches into his bag, takes out a real gun,
and shoots the victim point plank range.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It was pretty sad to watch, too, because as he
looks like he's only ever held that gun maybe once
or twice before this. He has to reach around in
his bag, unzip a pocket, reach in find the gun.
At that point, you know, anybody with real firearm experience
would have probably shot him eight or ten times. But
(04:44):
he finally gets the gun out, points it at the
guy and what are they ten feet apart?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, at the most in front of a Starbucks out
on the street in a tourist area with dozens of
people walking around, including kids and women.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now you can't see, you know, from that perspective, you
can't see what the and the wheelchair is doing with
his gun. I didn't even know for sure if he
had a gun. But all of a sudden, the guy
just lets Lukes just pops him.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah. And anyway, if you ever hear the words King County,
and you wonder where that is they're talking about Seattle.
The suspect has been arrested. He's been detained and charged
in King County first degree assault, Class A felony, being
held on seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Bard had that old board in the wheelchair holding up.
Did he pop him good or did he just take
it and wheel his way out?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It wasn't one of them wheelchairs for warriors wheelchairs.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Was it it? Do? Hope not. It doesn't say he's
dead in the report. I don't know. Yeah, I guess
just injured. Pretty serious injury. Though it looks like, oh yeah, yeah,
getting shot. You know it ain't for the week. Yeah,
he's not being charged with homicide. He's being charged with assaults.
So the gentleman's not dead, not even attempted murder. Well
(05:55):
that thing you shoot a guy? Yeah, attempted murder. All
to come up? Well, they say it's Seattle. Yeah, but
you know, in their defense, it's possible there will be
more charges later on, after the prosecutors look at it
and realize a white guy shot a black guy. But
then also they're gonna look into it and realize that
the white guy was an anti Trump guy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
This is news that you have just brought to the
story that changes everything. The complexion of the story has
suddenly altered.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The guy in a wheelchair was a brother black villain.
Let's not pretend that doesn't matter. In a place like Seattle.
It matters. Look, I'm sorry. I don't make the rules,
and neither do they actually they just make them up.
But the skin color of the victim and the suspect
will affect the outcome of a case in a place
like Seattle. Unfortunately it's true though, And you know whatever,
(06:45):
it shouldn't matter the guy even if he did steel valor,
you're still not supposed to take out your gun and
shoot a guy. Of course, he took out his airsoft
gun and that was what triggered the whole thing. But
I didn't see him point the gun at the shooter
in the video, so it's it's nuanced. It's layered like
a plate of nachos.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I can't really see what's happening for sure in the video.
One hundred percent. We're not wanted to rush to just
just like some people to go oh saw a video
Mike doesn't always tell the whole story, doesn't and maybe
you should see the video from the other side. One
hundred and eighty degree difference might change the story.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
We don't know, and we just spent thirty minutes telling
you about AI generated video. Oh yeah, Now, for the record,
Billy and I can tell when videos AI generated, but
I don't think a lot of people can. Yesterday I
was messing around with video and I was sending it
to friends of mine, you know, people I know. And
I sent a video to one of my friends. She
was standing in front of that mural in Austin and
(07:37):
she just said to me, Oh, that's cute. I remember
that day. She's like. I said to her, you do
you remember dancing around like that? She said, not really,
but but we remember being there. Yeah. I said, you
didn't do that. She's like, what do you mean? It's like,
that's an AI generated video. She says, no, it's not
said it's a video of you. Watch it again. Do
you really think you did that?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So? Can you tell AI to uh, you got a
steel shot, just a photograph of a hot chick. Can
you tell AI to have her take her top off?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Okay, Well, now you're talking about doing something that would
be a federal crime. Huh. Remember Donald Trump created the
deep fake law? I don't remember, Malania Trump. It was okay,
I get it. A lot's happened over the last six months,
but one of the things they did was make what
you just described illegal the Trump administration. Oh no, so dump.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So it's not making all things in America great again,
is he?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And you see chicks take their top off, Billy, You
could see chicks take their top off. You just can't
do it non consensually. There's plenty of here. It's twenty
twenty five. There's no shortage of footage in the Internet
of women taking their tops off. Are you sure about that?
Are you yep? Yep?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It is twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Do you know what day it is? Today? Is Wednesday,
preceded by Thursday as yoursual? He still sleep right away?
What's on the agenda for today? I believe you're aware
of my Wednesdays.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You might have to refresh my mane Walton M.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Johnson ten years ago. I this is going to be
a story about me, by the way, I should warn you.
Is it just a coincidence that after.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Talking about people that look like they might have been
in the Commodorees, that you are now playing the Commodorees?
It is not a court Ain't no coincidence, No coincidence,
and he knows what he's doing. Let me this book.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, I'm cooking. Okay. So ten years ago, when I
was just the producer of the greatest morning show in America,
I was a columnist for Breitbart Texas. You was a
communist columnist? Huh? Column I wrote an article. I wrote
articles for them. I was an article like a journalist. Well, no,
I wrote about what's Breitbart. I wrote about Texas political news. Okay,
(09:48):
is that is that? Are you okay with that?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Journalist is a bad word these days.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I mean, I don't disagree with you anyway. About sixteen
seventeen minutes ago, the Houston Chronicle published my first ever article.
Oh well, well you should sue them. No. I submitted
it to them and they wrote it, and I haven't
had a chance to read it yet to make well,
I wrote it, and they published it. They put it
in the Piper correct. Yeah, and I haven't had a
(10:14):
chance to read it yet to see if they changed
anything I wrote.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But well, I'm sure they did just scanning over it.
What is it about? What's your story about?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Well, it's about why John Corny needs to drop out,
go away and resign. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That must have been a short story because he sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
He really does. Yeah, well, there you go. Well there's
a lot to be said about it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I'm pretty sure Kenney, you know, probably fluffed it up
a little more besides just Cornyn sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah. It's the people that run the opinion section at
the Houston Chronicle are intellectuals and academics, and they're trying
to get more conservative and libertarian voices. And they asked
me if I would write something, and then I said,
can I write whatever I want? And they said yes,
And I said, you're gonna regret that? Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Are they changed something they couldn't have enjoyed, you know,
everything you wrote.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't know if they changed the final article yet
because I haven't read it, but I'm gonna guess they haven't.
And this is why I say that I wrote an article.
They challenged a few of the claims that I made
in the article before they published it. I had to
prove my you know, due diligence. I had to go
out and get the numbers and data to prove that
I was telling the truth about things like homeless veterans
(11:25):
put on the streets of our country, drug addiction, all
things that I think John Cornyn has contributed to. And
after proving with indisputable data that I was telling the truth,
they came up with a final draft and said this
will be published in.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
The morning, and now it is. It was like that
certainly looks that way. Did you drive down the street
not far from the park where you run all the time?
Yesterday here there was a little gathering of some people
outside of Cornyn's office that don't care for him. You
could have gone over there and you know, asked them
some questions and stuff. What is it about Cornyn that
(12:01):
you don't like? Because they're protesting him every Tuesday, been
doing it for years. I bet they could have told
you some good stuff to put in that article.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The people that are protesting him out on the street
in front of his office are protesting him because they
don't think he's liberal enough, which is ironic because they
all like Jasmine Crockett, and Jasmine Crockett just endorsed.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Him, and she's an idiot, so all the other idiots
are just gonna just fall in line behind her.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Huh. John Cornyn's career is over. He is down by
twenty points in the latest polling. If you look at
polymarket dot com, they think there is like a twenty
five percent chance that he wins.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
They think the Jasmine Crockett endorsement was the final nail.
Sure was just hammered it home. But if at this
trajectory he will go away. By this time next year,
he won't be a candidate anymore. The primaries will be
over and it'll almost be time for the general election.
And when that comes, it won't just be the end
of John Cornyn's career. John Cornyn going away isn't just
about John Cornyn's You're not going to have anything else
(13:01):
to write articles about? Is that what you're worried about?
I'll be fine, but you sure? It's also about the
end of the neocon movement. Billy.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Do you think I'm gonna run out of things to
talk about? You? You haven't yet. You've known me for
a pretty long time. No. No, John Cornon's career coming
to an end won't just mark the end of his legacy.
He's probably the single most powerful Neocon in our government
right now.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And for some younger listeners who might not understand, you know,
your fancy languages and words and stuff, neo con has
nothing to do with the matrix.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
No, it has to do with a bunch of warmongering
liberals who masquerade as conservatives. U huh. But big government cronies,
George W. Bush loving parasites who worship at the altar
of the government at chills when he and when he
goes up. Maybe it's time to stop calling them neo cons.
Maybe it's time to start calling them old cons or something,
(13:56):
or just cons. Well, yeah, but the problem with that
is people, I think we're just talking about conservatives, which
real conservatives don't like the guy. Libertarians don't like him,
right wing populists don't like him. People who love the
constitution don't like him. You know who likes them, Jasmine Crockett.
Which goes back to my original point. What are those
liberals protesting? This is your guy? You should be loving
(14:19):
on some John Cornyn. You should be begging him to
stick around. He's the one that gave you the gun
control bill. I might need to go out there and
interview these guys. Are they there every Tuesday? Tuesday? Yeah,
right around lunchtime. You can get over there. Yeah. I'm
gonna get out there and maybe next Tuesday, I probably won't.
But maybe I notice Billy.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It seems to know a lot about what goes on
around the jogging trails, and he's not a runner.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I think in his defense, you could drive around here. Yeah,
you can drive around the whole loop.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And if you want to park under a shade tree
and have lunch, that's a free show.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Why would you park under a shade tree and have
lunch because it's cooler under the shade. But what are
you watching? A bunch of pink haired freaks with septum
piercings people? Oh, you watch the women jogging in their
little outfits.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Just saying people run by. It can be entertaining, That's
all I'm saying. You know, Billy ed like, can we
just talk like two men for a minute.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Do you find it a little odd how these women
are now wearing they look like tight bike shorts, but
then the fabric goes into their butts.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh yeah, it's cinched. It's that's what you called sen stuff.
What is the athletic purpose of that? Oh, it's not
for the people that wear It is for the people
that sit in their truck and watch them run by.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm at a point I'm in that point in my
life now where I got to start using like balm
or tiger powder or whatever they call it to get
so I don't chafe down there.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It gets a little dry and itchy. You can imagine
what that must feel like, all seen stuff in your crack.
That's what I'm saying. I don't get it. And I'm
doing that with comfortable underwear on. I know they're not comfortable.
What the hell you guys, but are you even working out?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Lady? What is the deal?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Let's not knock it. It's It's a good spectator sport
they got going on right there. Other watch girls run
in the park with their cinched up ash cheeks than
the w NBA, and I bet they could probably pay
as much.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, you're probably right.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, that'd be a good sport right there.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Sure. Yeah, I don't know who's watching WNBA. Now that
they got rid of the dildos on the court, there's
no reason to watch. No ruined it didn't it? Of course,
there is still one way to sneak a dildo into
the game. Oh yeah, yeah, how would you do that?
Prison wallet?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Okay, you know you got to wonder who's in charge
of making these decisions for the ladies that play basketball,
because it seems like when Caitlin Clark came around, that
was a golden opportunity for them to just explode as
a sport and all Americans would come to watch and
see because she was just so you know, good and everything. Sure,
(16:46):
but they downplayed it and they let people you know,
rough her up and be mean to her, and they
what she couldn't go to the All Star Game or whatever,
and they just they just tried to hide the fact
that they got a star.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Now the dildo.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Thing, right, people, once again, we're tuning in. I want
to see the next dildo come flying out. And they said, no,
every time they get something that's gonna put some you know,
some butts into seats, some eyes on the tube, they
they turned.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The other way. I said, the exact same thing. As
soon as they put up that net. Now there's no
reason to watch the game, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yep, the net for the where they shoot the ball.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Right exactly. No, No, the net a net. No, the
net for the dildos to keep the dildos off the cut.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh, that's right, they at the dildo defense net.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, the rooster block net. I mean that's not actually
what it's called. But I don't think I can say
what it's called on there.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I probably shouldn't, That's all I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, you know that reminds me of Friday night I
met Hattiesburg and Bruceki's. We're doing a comedy show there
past Friday. Yeah, past Friday. Yeah, sound like you were
promoting this Friday. You were going to be there. No,
we were just there and a right as the comedy
show ends, our our our audience is clearing out and
a new audience comes into Brucek's to dance. There's a
younger crowd. They have a They used the venue after
(18:01):
the comedy show for a dance club.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Weren't you glad they weren't dancing while you were doing
your comedy That would have been hard.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah. So everybody's our listeners and comedy fans are leaving
and these twenty somethings are walking in. I'm backstage at
the time, so I wasn't quite there when the fight started. Oh,
a fight started, and it involved the guy I was
doing comedy with, got Be Jesse, Jesse Peyton, and I
JP I. It was three of us traveling together, me,
(18:29):
Jesse and a person doing merchandise for us, and so
I'm backstage merch girl, possibly smoking an illicit substance with
one of the promoters, and some of.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
The fans just trying to fit in. I understand Jesse.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Went to go meet with the club owner and the
merch person was putting the merch away girl, we'll just
call me merch girl.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Bending over, putting stuff in in boxes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's exactly right. And just then a bunch of twenty
somethings walk in and surround her and start sexually harassing her.
Uh Uh, For lack of a better explanation, I would
say that's what they were doing. That's when Jesse Peyton
walks out and he sees these guys standing around this
young woman harass and he didn't like it. Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
This guy, if you didn't ever see Jesse, he looks
like he has lifted at some point in his life.
He's tatted up and has done some prison time. Yeah
those are prison tattoos. Yeah. I don't think that's the
kind of guy. These young dance and punks want to crawl.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
No, this was a bunch of white boys who probably
model their lives after Scottie Shuffler. Men.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I wish I'd have been there, me and Jesse'd have
mopped the floor with him.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Billy I'd That's exactly what I said. I'm never there.
I am never there when this happens.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh, I thought you meant you said I wish Billy
d had been there.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
No, I would have been the way to go someone.
Just then, here's what happens with us. Someone runs backstage
and goes, your buddy's getting in a fight. We run
up there, man, I love that. Turn your hat on backwards,
pull your shirt off, and go. We run up to
the front of the club to see what's going on.
It's just Jesse alone, loading his truck up with the
merchandise T shirts and hats and stuff. Yeah, we're like Jesse,
(20:04):
what happened? He said, Well, these young punks came over.
They wanted some some some statics, some beef. I took
care of it. Just then, a black female cop walks over.
She says to Jesse, you do that again, I'm gonna
arrest you. Jesse turns around and says, go ahead. I
did eight years in prison and stay prison. Do you
think I care if I spend the night in county.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Hell yeah, I ain't afraiden to go back to prison.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
She looks at him and realizes he is dead effing serious.
Uh huh. She it occurs to her she doesn't want
to have to deal with filling out the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Or toughing him. She says that point that might have
been a struggle too.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
She says, never mind, walks off Billy had I never
seen anything like.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Him before, And ain't it said it's always the guy
who's defending somebody that ends up getting tossed, not the
people that start the trouble. Yeah, reminds me of a
recent situation. Probably shouldn't go into it.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That does remind me of something that happened to us recently,
But it's besides the point. Honey, we think that snack
cracker in your special outfit for me. Pilton and Johnson
