Speaker 1 (00:00):
Republican lawmakers have not filed for reelection, and at least
six are leaving Congress this January, including Troy Nells. But
he's going to be replaced by his brother, Trevor supposedly.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So really, and that's just to decide. We don't get
to vote on that. We'll just he just gets to
a point his replacement. How's that work? Well they do
have an election. Okay, Well, then we don't know Troy
Nell's the Republics because some of them are up to
nefarious deeds that they're about to be found out about.
I have a theory. Mm hmm. Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
So the polling data for the next two years pretty bleak.
If you're a Republican, they're saying that the pretty good
likelihood you're going to spend the next two years fighting
over whether or not Trump gets impeached.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
So think about this.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
If you're a lawmaker, you upend your life, you raise
tens of millions of dollars to win an election, You
show up, you mostly vote on censuring resolutions for things
your colleagues posted on social media.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Uh huh, sounds amazing. Why would anyone want to quit
doing that job? Then if you did some misdeeds somewhere
back in your past, and somebody has found out about
it wants to bring it to the attention of the public.
It might be best if you went away.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Look at all these Republicans from Texas who have not
yet formally filed for reelection Crenshaw, Falin Goldman, De La
Cruz Van Dwayne Moran. And that's not including the six
you've already announced retirement. Troy Nell's, for example, is leaving office.
It looked, it does look bleak right now. I don't
know why anyone would run for office. I don't get it.
(01:31):
Why would you want to be a lawmaker?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It sounds like complete hell. The good news is Crenshaw
and Cornyn might be going away. The bad news is
Crenshaw and Cornyn are two of the Republicans who helped
get all these Afghan nationals into the country. Other Republicans
responsible for it include Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy. I
know John Kennedy says funny things, but the next time
you hear a news story about some Afghan national going
(01:55):
on a terror attack driving a minivan into Bourbon Street.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Or wherever, like shooting a pretty little twenty year old
ice lady and killing her over the weekend. Yeah about that.
Just remember John Kennedy's part of the reason. I get it.
He says funny things. We like the sound bite. Supposed
to be a smart, smart man. Has he explained his
position so that we can understand his brilliance. You just
don't get it because you ain't as smart. I guess
(02:20):
that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Look, I love listening to John Kennedy talk. He's hilarious.
He's a very colorful, fun figure in government. But as
we have pointed out many times, his voting record is
not awesome. In fact, it kind of sucks.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, but he says funny stuff. But he says funny
stuff that's right, doesn't exactly right? That's that?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, look so do I. But I don't vote in
Congress and I never will. Boy, I don't know why. Look,
there's two things you can do if you get into politics.
Be dishonest and make a lot of money, or be
a good guy and be broke.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hmm does that sound like fun? Yeah? That hole making
what one hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars a year?
That ain't enough for some people.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well it's good money, but you're living in one of
the most expensive cities in America, and you've still got
to have a home back home, right, right, So, like
when you really do the math, there's that a lot
of money considering the lifestyle. You got to fly back
and forth all the time, You're constantly going to business
meetings and traveling. Yeah, one hundred and seventy grands a
lot for an average person that lives in a middle
(03:24):
American town somewhere. But if you've got to commute back
and forth between Washington, d C. And your hometown, that's
probably just enough money for you to live in a
holiday in part of the time.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's too bad that they can't somehow figure out a
way to maybe get a little heads up on some
of the stock trading that's going on in the world,
and maybe, you know, as a part time really a job,
a hobby, maybe do some investing with here money, and
maybe you could make some the good old fashioned, honest
(03:56):
way of just investing in the stock markets. How about
that you're referring to insider trading. Yeah, that's that's the
way it's supposed to work. Yeah, I don't think it is. Well,
they make the laws. I think one of the laws
is that they're fine. It's okay for insider trading for politicians.
By the way, there seems to be.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
How many news stories have you, guys, switching topics here
for a minute, how many news stories have you seen
today about Roger.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Borkam Not a one? Did you get who he is?
Not a bit? There's this white guy. He's a former
World Trade Center worker, narrowly escaped the September eleventh, two
thousand and one terror attack. The other day he got
beaten to death by three teenagers. One of them was
twelve at the time of the attack. And it's not
making the news because yeah, because what you know? Because
(04:44):
uh something? Because there are we talking about the multi
huge fabric of our lives? Yes, because of diversity? Yes, okay?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Good Long Island native Roger Borkham, sixty four, was found
severely just before midnight last month in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.
Three teams were seen kicking and stomping him without really
with dark hair and dark eyes. That's all I'll say
about boy. He was found with blood pulled around his
head and blood trail extending down the sidewalk. The attackers
(05:17):
were seen rummaging through his backpack and then returned around
twenty minutes later, returned twenty minutes later after kicking him.
After murdering the guy came back for more.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Man, what they miss what they missed the first time?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Cricked him multiple times in total, the same suspects were
seen battering the victim.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Weren't sure that he was dead yet and thought maybe
he deserves some more. Well, that's what it says. The
same system suspects were seen battering the victim three separate times. Borkham,
a widower who was homeless at the time, died four
days later of his injuries. Well, I'm sure he was
happy to have survived. Dine eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And there's no way of knowing anything really about these suspects.
Their names were In Narsevian Lacy, and then Robert Pope
and Justin Curry Okay arrested within hours of the attack,
all indicted for murder in November twentieth.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
We at least he wasn't killed by his very own brother.
I mean that that would hurt a lot. Why is
there a story about that today? Oh you didn't hear
about wagonman? Dude? Tell a law enforcement officer deputy over
in Wagoman. That's West Bank and Orleans. By the way,
If you ain't familiar with Wagonman, oh I'm familiar. I
know u are. He was fatally shot. That means he
(06:31):
was killed by his brother on Thanksgiving. Oh my god,
that is low man. That is low downans Giving Day.
That's going to really ruin Christmas. Shakiel Gearin, thirty five
year old, was shot by his own brother about five
(06:53):
thirty Thanksgiving evening. Despite efforts from the medical crews that
responded to the scene, he will pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities identified the suspect as Darius garn Is, a three
year younger brother. They pursued Darius in his vehicle when
he fled the scene. Chase ended in Lafitte, where Darius
(07:17):
attempted to escape on footbook was apprehended by deputies. Gun
was recovered along his flight path. He wasn't flying, they
mean his escape, you know, when he was running, he
pitched the gun. They found it and he now faces
second degree murder charges. And I don't know if anybody
else has heard, you know, since that happened on Thanksgiving,
(07:41):
what the hell went off between those two? But I
can't imagine going off to your family's house and having
an argument so bad that you have to shoot and
kill a family member on Thanksgiving Day, because that's just
gonna ruin the rest of the holiday for everybody. It
really does. It runs everything. Yeah, I do. I do
wonder what happened between those two.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Well, you know, sometimes people just get really mad about
a shortage of Hawaiian roles on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That could have been it, those King Hawaiian oh man. Yeah,
there's how many sandwiches did you make with those little roles?
I am a big fan of them. I've had four, yeah, yeah,
and I ain't quite done yet, and they're little too.
You know, do you keep your leftovers if you didn't
finish that all?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
There's a rule about this. I think it's seven days,
is that well, we're good. Yeah, yeah, usually you eat
it all before then, and anything you didn't eat you
probably didn't want anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Day four or five, depending on how you count it.
How much you got left, Billy ed I got to
make a few more sandwiches. Yeah, all right, right on,
Well that's great. I did everything you talked about except
for that rid squishy jelly, and I was fine without it.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I'm just look, I'm just saying you put a little
pinch of the cranberry sauce there on those sandwiches. They're
pretty taste. What you say, they are delicious. You know,
it's a good decision to make after Thanksgiving, and a
bad decision to make after Thanksgiving would be.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Shoot your brother. Yeah, I wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Now,
Trebling Paradise. You're listening to Walton lit Johnson at home.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, greetings, kiddos. A lot of you live in places
that are probably.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Home to you.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Good food, nice people, share your values, religious and political beliefs.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I live in a home. Yeah, I have a home.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're probably surrounded by folks who enjoy corn bread and Christianity,
and they love America red, white, and blue pumps through
their veins.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You got a problem with it?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
No, I just wanted to remind everybody that, well, thank
god you don't live in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I'm you know, if I had lived in Chicago, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Today it's the Chicago weekend crime report, and good lord,
there was a lot of violence for for being so
cold this weekend. You'd have thought the criminals would take
a break from murdering and shooting each other.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
But does that off case.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
No, let's just go ahead and tell you the numbers here.
Four dead, thirteen hurt Chicago Thanksgiving weekend. Perhaps the craziest
moment of the weekend came shootings wound six in Chicago
loop after tree lighting ceremony.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
A tree, well, what kind of a tree. Just a tree,
just any old tree will do, just a secular holiday tree.
The violence erupted around nine to fifty pm Friday near
State and Randolph Streets.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I used to work at a radio station there. With
a second shooting nearby at Dearborn in Adams.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
We weren't you in Chicago parted this weekend with your
cop lady girlfriend? I was. And did you in fact
catch any lid? Well, as you know, Chicago's a big place.
I was about an hour away in the suburbs from
where you didn't throw he lid all catching?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I didn't throw catch, I didn't dodge, I didn't witness.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, it wasn't no. I just see a thing off,
I just see a thing. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm from the north suburbs of Chicago, where there's not
a lot of violence.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It's less shootings. Have you ever seen Ferris Beeler's day off.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, the breakfast club or home alone or that's those
that's where I grew up, that part of the city,
the part of the city where there's not as much diversity.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh oh yeah. Well, as our emailer says, well, he
sent somebody else's email in his in his email. Uh,
this ain't about diversity anymore. The European and American governments
need to wake up before it's too late, and it's
getting to be a little late. This unchecked explosion of
(11:42):
the Muslim population isn't diversity. It is an existential threat
tearing the nation apart. And it's not just this nation.
I think you've seen for years now what they've been
doing to England, and they're they're doing it here now too,
and we're supposed to just sit back and allow it
to happen. With five percent of the population, they can
(12:06):
control the entire neighborhood, the entire city, whatever, and turn
the streets into well I think you know what, did
you see what happened with the shooting this weekend in DC? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That was something, all right, poor girl? Yeah, really sad news.
In the meantime, more sad news from that body of
land between New Orleans and Gulfport.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
A flight instructor and her student, a father to be
in a US Navy officer, are presumed dead after their
plane plummeted into a New Orleans lak According to authorities,
Taylor Dicky, age thirty, and her student, later identified as
thirty year old Navy Lieutenant David Michael John, took off
from the Gulfport Blocks the International Airport in a Cessna Skyhawk.
(12:51):
The plane vanished from flight radar around roughly six thirty PM,
four miles north of a New Orleans lake front airport.
There was no distress call from the aircraft that lake.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Would that be Pontra training by any chance? Certainly looks
that way. Yeah, that's kind of where the airport.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Is not immediately clear who was in the pilot's seat
when the plane crashed into lake Pontra train and anyway,
very sad news a tiny little plane. An hour after
it vanished, search teams saw discoloration in the water, and
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries personnel recovered a seat cushion and
some other debris, likely from the aircraft. The search continued
for two days before it was suspended Wednesday afternoon. Jean
(13:29):
and Dickie were both presumed dead after the crash. So yeah,
sad news. Rest in peace certainly sounds like that's the end.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
It sure does. Some people had more fun on Thanksgiving.
I noticed Sydney Sweeney went water skiing on Thanksgiving. How
about that water skiing in November? They said things got
a little nippy. I mean nippy yeah, nippy yeah for Sydney. Yeah,
sounds like fun. A whole lot of celebrity update coming up,
including the celebrity birthdays. Oh, you're gonna love it, especially Kenny.
(14:01):
I've got a story just set aside for Kenny, and
all of his Christmas wishes are coming true.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, I can't wait to hear about it. That's fantastic.
In the meantime, apparently someone sent Sidney Sweeney a d pic,
and women the world over often get unsolicited anatomy picks
from men, and it turns out that celebrities are no different.
Sidney Sweeney allegedly had an a list celebrities send her
an explicit photo.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh, an a listb Yeah, we don't know who.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Sidney joined co star Amanda Seafrey during a sit down
with Love Island, USA alum Leah kateb to play a
game of Spilled the Tea or Break the China. The
girls took turns picking cards and questions, and they had
to either answer the question or pass and break the china.
Sounds a lot like truth or Dare it does?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Anyway, Sidney's first card asked what happened at her birthday party?
She said she didn't remember, and she threw her cup
to the floor, breaking it. Oh no, and then anyway.
They finally get to the point here a man who
was asked to share the last photo in her camera roll,
which she did so without hesitation. When it was Sydney's
turn again, she was asked, what's the wildest fan.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
DM you've gotten? And it was an pick.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Sid She'd already used her past she had no choice
but to answer. She admitted it was a message she
received from a person everyone knows, and that he sent
her a picture of her junk.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Of his junk. I'm assuming. And then they all looked
at a picture of the drunk junk. Yeah, of his junk? Yeah? Yeah?
And that illegal? Though, isn't that like revenge porn or
something like that? Well, I don't know was it unsolicited, yes,
but was it revenge for anything.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's been explained to me that even if it's unsolicited,
you're still not supposed to share it with other people
because there are laws in this country, or at least
in our state.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't know what the laws are, and that's yeah,
but do they enforce them. There's a lot of laws
out there that they just keep overlooking all day long.
Oh on, give some unsolicited advice right now to some
of the young men listening to this radio show or
a podcast, depending on how you listen. Women may enjoy
looking at you, may enjoy your abs or your uh
you know, your your jawline or whatever it is, your
(16:04):
wide shoulders and your tapered v into that narrow little.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Waist more often than not, unless they got it unless
they ask for it. They don't want to see pictures
of your junk. You're flaccid. It's just it's kind of
shocking to them. I'm told, did.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
They did they send a flassuit or was it perky?
It doesn't give any details on that, but we still
don't know whose it was.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Huh No, she won't explain, hmm, but she has she
know unless she's but she has been before. She has
been dating Scooter Braun though who uh Scooter Braun. I
think he's a music producer or something. I'm not really sure.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I think he's the one that stole all of Taylor
Swift's music. Boy.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
That actually kind of makes Sidney Sweeney cooler. She's dating
a guy that's Swifties hate. Yeah, yeah, good for her.
