Speaker 1 (05:14):
There's a line in the movie where her crush I
never watched the movie. I only know this because I
know pop culture references. Her crush asks her what the
date is, and then he says, it's what is it?
October third?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And then that's so that's why it's Mean Girls Day.
But she didn't know what day it was anyway, And
today's brought to you by law Tigers. Lawtigers dot Com.
Call one one hundred law Tigers if you get no
motorcycle accident, they want you to know that today in
seventeen seventy six, these.

Are always good.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Congress borrows five million dollars to boaster. They're rapidly depreciating
paper currency.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Who they get five million from?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Uh, probably the French I don't know. Yeah, probably I
don't know. Actually, I do want to know the answer
to that. We should know, we should be allowed to know,
have been Alexander Hamilton. Uh, tell me he carried lawd's
a mass of cash on him. A foreign appeal as
the continentals continue to devalue public faith, Way and Congress
sought help from abroad.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
America.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh it was a chick, America diplomat Benjamin Franklin appealed
to France.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
France. Yes, yeah, I thought you knew that. I did.
I just wanted to make sure we knew.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's also this day in history that OJ Simpson murder
trial found OJ not guilty. Maybe that's why it's me
and girl's death. Maybe today.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
In eighteen sixty three, President Lincoln proclaims the first official
Thanksgiving holiday it used to be in October.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
No, I'm just kidding. Today.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
In nineteen oh six, SOS is adopted as a universal
warning signal by the Wireless Conference.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
By the way, they used to have a wireless conference.
Huh today.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
In nineteen twenty two, the first fact simile was sent
over phone lines in DC.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I can't tell.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You who, but I have a friend who works in
Illinois state government, who tells me they still use fax machines. Really,
And he said he doesn't know what He doesn't have
a fax machine, so he'll finish a report and then
he has to go find one to send it to
a coworker.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So sad.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Today, in nineteen thirty one, the Dick Tracy common extrap
appears for the first time in the New York Times.
I was on a date earlier this summer with a
young woman. I made fun of fedora hats. I said,
it's never okay to wear a fedora unless your name's
Dick Tracy.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And she goes, who's Dick Tracy? Okay, Now, I hope
she puts you in your place. I don't know where
she is now. Today's it's okay if a girl wears one, No,
she's hot. It's just the dudes wearing them. That's a
doucheat right now.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
That's kind of a type of guy that wears it.
It's not fair, by the way, I think. If you
play bass in a jazz band, if you're in a
trumpet in a ska band, there's exceptions, right Hey, sure
you're a promeny of those. Are there a private eye?
You're a private detective that's about it, or a boy band.
I'm gonna say no, I'm the boy band from the nineties.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Today. In nineteen thirty two, Iraq wins independence from Britain.
Boy that went right, I had to feel good. Today.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
In nineteen fifty two, the UK joined the Nuclear Club.
Finally today. In nineteen fifty five, the first Guinness Book
of World Records was published. It was a hit and
it went global. Do you know what I mean? I
know you know why, But it isn't it interesting why
there's a Guinness Book of World Records. People would drink
in Ireland and they would always and they would They're like, well, who.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Do you think I could drink more than you? I
canna out drink everybody.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I bet I could fart more for meeting this Canna
beans than anybody else ever farted. And so the Guinness
Alcohol people came up with a book to explain who
had accomplished all this.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
To encourage people to buy their product. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Also in nineteen fifty five, TV History, Captain Kangaroo, Mickey
Mouse Club, and The Dick Van Dyke Show all debuted
on the same day.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's a big day. Yeah, I wasn't around, but I
bet it was a big day today.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
In nineteen ninety East and West Germany reunited thanks to
a guy with a piano key neck tie.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You know, we all ask ourselves where would we be
without the hall?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Who is brave enough to stand up? And there was
one man, one man who climbed on top of that
climbed on top of that wall.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
A lot of mixed man's fun singlependently torelet rolled down
and brought freedom to the oppressed. Oh, I've a quick
question for you. When they tore the wall down between
(09:18):
East and West Germany? Which way did everybody run towards freedom?
Towards the capitalist side, not towards communism? No, really, So
if they are given a choice, people tend to drift
away from capitalism. Yeah, I mean away from communism, towards capitalism.
And yet here in this country we are told that's
(09:39):
the last thing anybody wants. There's a bunch of capitalism anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, communism's great, Just to ask all the people fleeing
from communist countries.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Sure. Today.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
In nineteen ninety two, Sinead O'Connor tears up a photo
of Pope John Paul the Second on SNL. She went
on to become a devout Muslim and then she killed
herself because being a Muslim is a didn't make her happy.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I guess today. In nineteen ninety five, Ohja was acquitted.
We already said that today.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
In twenty eleven, Italian Appeals Court overturned the murder conviction
of Amanda Knox and.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Also on the State. In two thousand and three, Roy
Horn of Sick Free and Roy was attacked and nearly
killed by one of his tigers on stage on his birthday.
On his birthday, No last month, Decorps bit him. That's
the tiger bit him in the neck during the show
in front of a live audience. It's seven on artery
(10:29):
calls to stroke. Didn't kill him, but it left him
partially paralyzed and then he died. But he need to
live for what nineteen more years? But look on the
bright side, it's Stevie ray Vaughn's birthday. Yeah, we got
that goo for Yeah, Johnson Hooles Walton Johnson.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Are very few people who grew up to be adults
that were former child pop icons who are as messed
up as the Nirvana nevermind baby, Oh God, I'll tell
you the story in a little bit. Oh, you're gonna
make me wait, But first, if y'all don't mind indulging
us for just a moment in some local political issues.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hopefully it didn't mind. Yesterday when we indulged in some
local political issues. It was around the same time of
day we were talking about Lena Hidalgo chick. All right.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So for those that don't know, we exist in the
biggest county in Texas. That's where our flagship is, which
means we are living under the authority of the most
powerful Texas Democrat elected official.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yes, he's big and powerful, alright.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And if you're to believe the rumors about her, she's
a pill popping junkie who takes off months at a
time to go to rehab facilities. I don't know if
any of that's true, but that's what they say. Yeah,
we don't hang out with her or nothing, but she
did take off a lot of time to go to
a mental health clinic. She's not going to be in
charge of the county much longer because she's not running again,
and the people running against her seem to be much
(11:54):
more qualified so when she was running, So if I
had to place a bet. I would bet that next
year in the county judge race, which is a very
important even if you're not from Houston. That's an important
race to anyone in Texas because the crime, the economics,
whatever happens in Houston affects the rest.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Of the state. We got the SPILLEDOVA, and if I.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Had to guess, I'll bet that the county judge race
comes down to a niece Parker, the former mayor of Houston,
Texas on the Democrat side and notable transgender bathroom advocate.
We'll be facing off against Marty Langton, a first responder
and the leader of the Houston Firefighters Union in town.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That we haven't even had a primary yet, so we
don't know who's gonna win and the Republican side, but
Marty Langton seems to be quite popular. We discussed him
briefly yesterday and some of the other people that will
be his opponent in the primary, but nothing has been said.
And I respect all of them, especially Eliza Dutt that
(12:53):
stepped up way before anybody else and said we got
to get Leena out of there.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I just want to make a clear I don't respect
all of them. I respect almost nobody. I true, I
owe nothing's sacred, not even that rock of Ice yesterday
that the Pope blessed. No respect, no respect Ronnie Dangerfield.
But all that being said, Marty Langdon I like him.
I'm probably going to vote for him. I mean I will.
I've already made that clear. I think he's the best candidate.
I think he's the right guy for the job. And Marty,
(13:19):
we reached out to him and apparently Marty Langton firefighter
union leader on the line right now, Marty, people have
been attacking you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Why have they attacked Marty? What's been going on? Dude?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hey, good morning Steve, Good morning Kenny. Well listen, I
think in the world of politics, anytime somebody is launching
red siless lies and attacks, that usually means you're winning.
So we focus on what we're doing and getting the
message out to Harris County residence, and we are extremely
excited about the coalition that we have formed.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I would imagine one of the attacks, or maybe just
things that people are looking at, is that you are
a fireman representing the fireman's union, and so that naturally
you at odds with the police department. Is that right?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yes, I mean that's pretty ridiculous claim first responders around
the streets protecting those every day, the citizens that we
swore an oath to protect. And I'm so proud that
all of the law enforcement has endorsed and supported me
because they know what it's going to take to address
the crime. They know what it's going to take to
stand up for the bright men and women that go
(14:26):
out there every day. Listen, I've taken on one corrupt
administration and I'm about to take over the County Commission's
court and focus on getting results for the people of
Harris County and cleaning up the crime and making it
a safe place for our kids.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Other than you, billy.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yet, I think everybody else here is registered to vote
in Harris County. You're not registered to vote here, I
can go ahead and get registered. No you can't, you can't, Yeah, right, yeah,
you can't.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Wait. No, that's right, because I wouldn't register as a Democrat.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But most people in Houston are concerned as particularly our
liceners are concerned about crime, public safety, property tax, Marty.
Those are the most important policies for your platform, right.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Those are the number one priorities for my administration. And
that's what we're going to deliver on crime in public safety.
There's nobody that disagrees that crime in public safety is
the essential role of government. And if you are not
focusing on reducing crime and making people in their family safe,
then nothing else is going to matter. And that is
the highest priority I have, and that is exactly what
(15:30):
we're going to focus on. It's exactly why the police
and law enforcement have all stood shoulder to shoulder and
have supported and endorsed me. That is what we're going
to do for Harris County.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And I can't wait to get to work. So you've
got to endorsement of police, fire Department, all the first responders,
even though the last mayor before it is one, kept
hitting fire department and police department against each other. Look
like y'all are able to all work out fine.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, you know, when we're on the streets together every day,
all the red that people spew and when it comes
to politics is the reason that people get so tired
of listening to politicians. It's time for a real candidate
with real leadership to take over Harris County. When we're
on the streets protecting the citizens, saving lives, we always
stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in blue.
(16:17):
And when you have all the first responders, everybody that's
whark not to protect citizens, they're all supporting me. That
shows strength and what it is that we're doing as
a campaign. But we have to get to a place
where there's trust back in county government.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Because I don't know if you all.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Paid attention, but I do tell people all the time,
I'm going to apologize in advance. I'm going to make
the Commissioner's Court not as much fun to watch because
it's a pretty much a national embarrassment at.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
This point, entertaining when we get that little cry baby
girl up there who's supposed to be in charge of
everything and she starts whining and crying and people are
mean to her. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
There is only one reason why people in Georgia or
Arkansas know who Hidalgo is, and it's not because she's
an amazing leader. It's because there's so many bizarre sound
bites and video clips of her. But with all that,
on that note, I got to tell you one thing
I don't like about Lena besides everything, is her advocacy
to raise taxes she's doing that all the time. Demands
to eliminators have significantly cut property taxes and corporate welfare
(17:21):
ban unapproved tax hikes have overwhelmingly been something that local
conservative voters are calling for. Moderates, even left wing voters
are asking for this. What can the county judge do
about property tax relief?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Well, they could do the opposite of what's being done
currently by the county judge. They can take a look
at what the budget is, cut out the waste, fraud
and abuse, cut out the things that are not necessary,
that have no role within county government, and focus on
the core issues of what county government is. And let's
talk about something different. Let's talk about actually lowering taxes.
(17:54):
And I have seen what happens when people focus on
taxpayer dollars make them transparent. And we took on a
city administration of a nearly seven billion dollar budget and
we exposed what was happening in the city of Houston.
And I can tell you there is money in the county.
It is where we direct it to and what the
(18:14):
priorities we have, not only as conservatives, but as taxpayers
of Houston. Everybody agrees you should be going to pay
for issues and social issues and virtue signaling. This is
about real results, real leadership, and having common sense back
at the county judge seat.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Is there a place people could go to find out
more about the Marty Langston campaign and the things you
stand for?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yes, sir, it's Langton La NCTN for Harris County dot com.
That's the website and you can go on there and
get information about me and you can sign up.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
We'd love to have you.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We're all across Harris County. But you know that's nothing new.
This is what we do every day, is what I've
done for a decade with the firefighters, serving the community.
I am not a career politician. I am somebody with
a career that has chosen to run and to lead
this county and we're going to get it done with
your support. So thank you all very much for having
me on.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
And hey, Marty, can I throw in one or two
more questions? I have to the last word. I just
want to know. But look, I'm here all day, you go.
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Anybody to accuse us of these all being softball questions.
I like Mayor wit Meyer, even though he's a Democrat.
I like Marty Langton, even though he's a union government
union president.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I think he's good at his job. With all that
being said, something I've noticed, Marty is something that like
left wing voters are real touchy about in this town
is the issue with the bike lanes. I hear them
talk about this, like they're like, why aren't there more
bike lanes? Why aren't no one's using the bike lanes?
So I'll always point that out. I'm like, well, we
tried this experiment for the last several years, we built
(19:47):
bike laims.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
There's nobody riding in them. Now.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
The latest on this is that some of these bike
lanes have just mysteriously disappeared. Whoa, And like they're like, wow,
that costs millions of dollars to remove the bike lanes.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And I almost kind of think the lefties have a
point with that.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
One is like, all right, I didn't want the bike
lane put in, but then taking it out costs money
where it might.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Have also saved lives too. Well, that's a good point.
Brave enough to get in that lane. What is your
take on the.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Bike Well, I'll tell you what the take on it is.
Is that being on the streets and having relationships with
the community intimately familiar with the issues of the bike lanes.
What they did under the previous administration in the City
of Houston was develop and design these things absolutely horribly
to where you couldn't get fire trucks and emergency apparatus
down these streets. Life safety is the number one priority,
(20:33):
and when people are more focused on trying to show
a base, look, I did something, but you didn't do
it the right way.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Who does that serve? It doesn't serve people wanting to
ride bikes.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It doesn't serve the people that are out there protecting
the community. And if we can't get to you during
an emergency, that is more important than anything else.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I will tell you I have listened to people on
my gym argue about the bike lanes for hours, so well,
they're not even listening to each other.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
They just talk over each other.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
What Marty just said is the only good explanation I
have heard for a while. Martylangton dot org is the website.
I'm gonna vote for him. I think you guys should too.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
We're listening to Walton and Johnson Radio Network
Listen to this guy play guitar. He's gonna be a
huge start. It's called do Blay Trueblay.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Oh it sounds French. Yeah, it's new.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I just found out about it, so it's obviously new, obviously. Yeah,
because you keep up. Yeah, you know, I'm aware. I
keep my finger on the pulse, you know, that's.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
What I do. Yeah. Anyway, new music from do Blay Trueblay.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Who's the artist, Steven ray Vaghan Huh Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Sounds a little bit like the old blues guy Stevie
ray Vaughan, who's having a birthday today.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh, my goodness, doesn't even realize birthday time. It's almost
like we did that on purpose. Stevie ray Vall, born
on this date nineteen fifty four, left us obviously way
too early at the age of thirty five.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yes, it's a Stevie ray Vaughan edition of today's birthdays.
And a good time for it too, because I could
play his guitar LI so all the way through your
boring birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Really nice? Yeah, go ahead. While we're doing the no
longer with us version, I also tell you it is
ray Horn's birthday. Born in nineteen forty four. He is
the Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh okay, so that's actually the tiger, right, he survived
a tiger attack briefly.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, that's great, and then then died anyway. Other celebrities
having birthdays this morning include Asap Rockie, who's thirty seven.
Actually Simpson is forty one. Oh yeah, whatever happened to her?
She was going to be such a big star and
then not. Yeah, weird. It's almost like such a fall
from grace.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's almost as though there was a big moment of
public humiliation, scandalous perhaps, yeah, live televised anyway, anyway, we
couldn't even think of what it was.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Stiffler from American Pie Sean William Scott is forty nine
years old. Now he seems like a cool guy. Nev
Campbell or Neve I've heard it both ways. You don't
hear betterr much anymore. She's fifty two. Gwen Stefani is
fifty six. Clive Owen, who was interesting seeing him play
(02:07):
Bill Clinton in Impeachment The Crime Story. He's sixty one today.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
There's a line in the movie where her crush I
never watched the movie. I only know this because I
know pop culture references. Her crush asks her what the
date is, and then he says, it's what is it?
October third?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And then that's so that's why it's Mean Girls Day.
But she didn't know what day it was anyway, And
today's brought to you by law Tigers. Lawtigers dot Com.
Call one one hundred law Tigers if you get no
motorcycle accident, they want you to know that today in
seventeen seventy six, these.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Are always good.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Congress borrows five million dollars to boaster. They're rapidly depreciating
paper currency.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Who they get five million from?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Uh, probably the French I don't know. Yeah, probably I
don't know. Actually, I do want to know the answer
to that. We should know, we should be allowed to know,
have been Alexander Hamilton. Uh, tell me he carried lawd's
a mass of cash on him. A foreign appeal as
the continentals continue to devalue public faith, Way and Congress
sought help from abroad.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
America.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh it was a chick, America diplomat Benjamin Franklin appealed
to France.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
France. Yes, yeah, I thought you knew that. I did.
I just wanted to make sure we knew.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's also this day in history that OJ Simpson murder
trial found OJ not guilty. Maybe that's why it's me
and girl's death. Maybe today.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
In eighteen sixty three, President Lincoln proclaims the first official
Thanksgiving holiday it used to be in October.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
No, I'm just kidding. Today.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
In nineteen oh six, SOS is adopted as a universal
warning signal by the Wireless Conference.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
By the way, they used to have a wireless conference.
Huh today.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
In nineteen twenty two, the first fact simile was sent
over phone lines in DC.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I can't tell.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You who, but I have a friend who works in
Illinois state government, who tells me they still use fax machines. Really,
And he said he doesn't know what He doesn't have
a fax machine, so he'll finish a report and then
he has to go find one to send it to
a coworker.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So sad.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Today, in nineteen thirty one, the Dick Tracy common extrap
appears for the first time in the New York Times.
I was on a date earlier this summer with a
young woman. I made fun of fedora hats. I said,
it's never okay to wear a fedora unless your name's
Dick Tracy.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And she goes, who's Dick Tracy? Okay, Now, I hope
she puts you in your place. I don't know where
she is now. Today's it's okay if a girl wears one, No,
she's hot. It's just the dudes wearing them. That's a
doucheat right now.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
That's kind of a type of guy that wears it.
It's not fair, by the way, I think. If you
play bass in a jazz band, if you're in a
trumpet in a ska band, there's exceptions, right Hey, sure
you're a promeny of those. Are there a private eye?
You're a private detective that's about it, or a boy band.
I'm gonna say no, I'm the boy band from the nineties.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Today. In nineteen thirty two, Iraq wins independence from Britain.
Boy that went right, I had to feel good. Today.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
In nineteen fifty two, the UK joined the Nuclear Club.
Finally today. In nineteen fifty five, the first Guinness Book
of World Records was published. It was a hit and
it went global. Do you know what I mean? I
know you know why, But it isn't it interesting why
there's a Guinness Book of World Records. People would drink
in Ireland and they would always and they would They're like, well, who.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Do you think I could drink more than you? I
canna out drink everybody.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I bet I could fart more for meeting this Canna
beans than anybody else ever farted. And so the Guinness
Alcohol people came up with a book to explain who
had accomplished all this.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
To encourage people to buy their product. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Also in nineteen fifty five, TV History, Captain Kangaroo, Mickey
Mouse Club, and The Dick Van Dyke Show all debuted
on the same day.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's a big day. Yeah, I wasn't around, but I
bet it was a big day today.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
In nineteen ninety East and West Germany reunited thanks to
a guy with a piano key neck tie.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You know, we all ask ourselves where would we be
without the hall?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Who is brave enough to stand up? And there was
one man, one man who climbed on top of that
climbed on top of that wall.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
A lot of mixed man's fun singlependently torelet rolled down
and brought freedom to the oppressed. Oh, I've a quick
question for you. When they tore the wall down between
(09:18):
East and West Germany? Which way did everybody run towards freedom?
Towards the capitalist side, not towards communism? No, really, So
if they are given a choice, people tend to drift
away from capitalism. Yeah, I mean away from communism, towards capitalism.
And yet here in this country we are told that's
(09:39):
the last thing anybody wants. There's a bunch of capitalism anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, communism's great, Just to ask all the people fleeing
from communist countries.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Sure. Today.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
In nineteen ninety two, Sinead O'Connor tears up a photo
of Pope John Paul the Second on SNL. She went
on to become a devout Muslim and then she killed
herself because being a Muslim is a didn't make her happy.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I guess today. In nineteen ninety five, Ohja was acquitted.
We already said that today.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
In twenty eleven, Italian Appeals Court overturned the murder conviction
of Amanda Knox and.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Also on the State. In two thousand and three, Roy
Horn of Sick Free and Roy was attacked and nearly
killed by one of his tigers on stage on his birthday.
On his birthday, No last month, Decorps bit him. That's
the tiger bit him in the neck during the show
in front of a live audience. It's seven on artery
(10:29):
calls to stroke. Didn't kill him, but it left him
partially paralyzed and then he died. But he need to
live for what nineteen more years? But look on the
bright side, it's Stevie ray Vaughn's birthday. Yeah, we got
that goo for Yeah, Johnson Hooles Walton Johnson.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Are very few people who grew up to be adults
that were former child pop icons who are as messed
up as the Nirvana nevermind baby, Oh God, I'll tell
you the story in a little bit. Oh, you're gonna
make me wait, But first, if y'all don't mind indulging
us for just a moment in some local political issues.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hopefully it didn't mind. Yesterday when we indulged in some
local political issues. It was around the same time of
day we were talking about Lena Hidalgo chick. All right.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So for those that don't know, we exist in the
biggest county in Texas. That's where our flagship is, which
means we are living under the authority of the most
powerful Texas Democrat elected official.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yes, he's big and powerful, alright.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And if you're to believe the rumors about her, she's
a pill popping junkie who takes off months at a
time to go to rehab facilities. I don't know if
any of that's true, but that's what they say. Yeah,
we don't hang out with her or nothing, but she
did take off a lot of time to go to
a mental health clinic. She's not going to be in
charge of the county much longer because she's not running again,
and the people running against her seem to be much
(11:54):
more qualified so when she was running, So if I
had to place a bet. I would bet that next
year in the county judge race, which is a very
important even if you're not from Houston. That's an important
race to anyone in Texas because the crime, the economics,
whatever happens in Houston affects the rest.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Of the state. We got the SPILLEDOVA, and if I.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Had to guess, I'll bet that the county judge race
comes down to a niece Parker, the former mayor of Houston,
Texas on the Democrat side and notable transgender bathroom advocate.
We'll be facing off against Marty Langton, a first responder
and the leader of the Houston Firefighters Union in town.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That we haven't even had a primary yet, so we
don't know who's gonna win and the Republican side, but
Marty Langton seems to be quite popular. We discussed him
briefly yesterday and some of the other people that will
be his opponent in the primary, but nothing has been said.
And I respect all of them, especially Eliza Dutt that
(12:53):
stepped up way before anybody else and said we got
to get Leena out of there.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I just want to make a clear I don't respect
all of them. I respect almost nobody. I true, I
owe nothing's sacred, not even that rock of Ice yesterday
that the Pope blessed. No respect, no respect Ronnie Dangerfield.
But all that being said, Marty Langdon I like him.
I'm probably going to vote for him. I mean I will.
I've already made that clear. I think he's the best candidate.
I think he's the right guy for the job. And Marty,
(13:19):
we reached out to him and apparently Marty Langton firefighter
union leader on the line right now, Marty, people have
been attacking you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Why have they attacked Marty? What's been going on? Dude?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hey, good morning Steve, Good morning Kenny. Well listen, I
think in the world of politics, anytime somebody is launching
red siless lies and attacks, that usually means you're winning.
So we focus on what we're doing and getting the
message out to Harris County residence, and we are extremely
excited about the coalition that we have formed.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I would imagine one of the attacks, or maybe just
things that people are looking at, is that you are
a fireman representing the fireman's union, and so that naturally
you at odds with the police department. Is that right?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yes, I mean that's pretty ridiculous claim first responders around
the streets protecting those every day, the citizens that we
swore an oath to protect. And I'm so proud that
all of the law enforcement has endorsed and supported me
because they know what it's going to take to address
the crime. They know what it's going to take to
stand up for the bright men and women that go
(14:26):
out there every day. Listen, I've taken on one corrupt
administration and I'm about to take over the County Commission's
court and focus on getting results for the people of
Harris County and cleaning up the crime and making it
a safe place for our kids.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Other than you, billy.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yet, I think everybody else here is registered to vote
in Harris County. You're not registered to vote here, I
can go ahead and get registered. No you can't, you can't, Yeah, right, yeah,
you can't.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Wait. No, that's right, because I wouldn't register as a Democrat.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
But most people in Houston are concerned as particularly our
liceners are concerned about crime, public safety, property tax, Marty.
Those are the most important policies for your platform, right.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Those are the number one priorities for my administration. And
that's what we're going to deliver on crime in public safety.
There's nobody that disagrees that crime in public safety is
the essential role of government. And if you are not
focusing on reducing crime and making people in their family safe,
then nothing else is going to matter. And that is
the highest priority I have, and that is exactly what
(15:30):
we're going to focus on. It's exactly why the police
and law enforcement have all stood shoulder to shoulder and
have supported and endorsed me. That is what we're going
to do for Harris County.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And I can't wait to get to work. So you've
got to endorsement of police, fire Department, all the first responders,
even though the last mayor before it is one, kept
hitting fire department and police department against each other. Look
like y'all are able to all work out fine.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, you know, when we're on the streets together every day,
all the red that people spew and when it comes
to politics is the reason that people get so tired
of listening to politicians. It's time for a real candidate
with real leadership to take over Harris County. When we're
on the streets protecting the citizens, saving lives, we always
stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in blue.
(16:17):
And when you have all the first responders, everybody that's
whark not to protect citizens, they're all supporting me. That
shows strength and what it is that we're doing as
a campaign. But we have to get to a place
where there's trust back in county government.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Because I don't know if you all.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Paid attention, but I do tell people all the time,
I'm going to apologize in advance. I'm going to make
the Commissioner's Court not as much fun to watch because
it's a pretty much a national embarrassment at.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
This point, entertaining when we get that little cry baby
girl up there who's supposed to be in charge of
everything and she starts whining and crying and people are
mean to her. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
There is only one reason why people in Georgia or
Arkansas know who Hidalgo is, and it's not because she's
an amazing leader. It's because there's so many bizarre sound
bites and video clips of her. But with all that,
on that note, I got to tell you one thing
I don't like about Lena besides everything, is her advocacy
to raise taxes she's doing that all the time. Demands
to eliminators have significantly cut property taxes and corporate welfare
(17:21):
ban unapproved tax hikes have overwhelmingly been something that local
conservative voters are calling for. Moderates, even left wing voters
are asking for this. What can the county judge do
about property tax relief?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Well, they could do the opposite of what's being done
currently by the county judge. They can take a look
at what the budget is, cut out the waste, fraud
and abuse, cut out the things that are not necessary,
that have no role within county government, and focus on
the core issues of what county government is. And let's
talk about something different. Let's talk about actually lowering taxes.
(17:54):
And I have seen what happens when people focus on
taxpayer dollars make them transparent. And we took on a
city administration of a nearly seven billion dollar budget and
we exposed what was happening in the city of Houston.
And I can tell you there is money in the county.
It is where we direct it to and what the
(18:14):
priorities we have, not only as conservatives, but as taxpayers
of Houston. Everybody agrees you should be going to pay
for issues and social issues and virtue signaling. This is
about real results, real leadership, and having common sense back
at the county judge seat.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Is there a place people could go to find out
more about the Marty Langston campaign and the things you
stand for?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yes, sir, it's Langton La NCTN for Harris County dot com.
That's the website and you can go on there and
get information about me and you can sign up.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
We'd love to have you.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We're all across Harris County. But you know that's nothing new.
This is what we do every day, is what I've
done for a decade with the firefighters, serving the community.
I am not a career politician. I am somebody with
a career that has chosen to run and to lead
this county and we're going to get it done with
your support. So thank you all very much for having
me on.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
And hey, Marty, can I throw in one or two
more questions? I have to the last word. I just
want to know. But look, I'm here all day, you go.
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Anybody to accuse us of these all being softball questions.
I like Mayor wit Meyer, even though he's a Democrat.
I like Marty Langton, even though he's a union government
union president.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I think he's good at his job. With all that
being said, something I've noticed, Marty is something that like
left wing voters are real touchy about in this town
is the issue with the bike lanes. I hear them
talk about this, like they're like, why aren't there more
bike lanes? Why aren't no one's using the bike lanes?
So I'll always point that out. I'm like, well, we
tried this experiment for the last several years, we built
(19:47):
bike laims.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
There's nobody riding in them. Now.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
The latest on this is that some of these bike
lanes have just mysteriously disappeared. Whoa, And like they're like, wow,
that costs millions of dollars to remove the bike lanes.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And I almost kind of think the lefties have a
point with that.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
One is like, all right, I didn't want the bike
lane put in, but then taking it out costs money
where it might.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Have also saved lives too. Well, that's a good point.
Brave enough to get in that lane. What is your
take on the.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Bike Well, I'll tell you what the take on it is.
Is that being on the streets and having relationships with
the community intimately familiar with the issues of the bike lanes.
What they did under the previous administration in the City
of Houston was develop and design these things absolutely horribly
to where you couldn't get fire trucks and emergency apparatus
down these streets. Life safety is the number one priority,
(20:33):
and when people are more focused on trying to show
a base, look, I did something, but you didn't do
it the right way.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Who does that serve? It doesn't serve people wanting to
ride bikes.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It doesn't serve the people that are out there protecting
the community. And if we can't get to you during
an emergency, that is more important than anything else.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I will tell you I have listened to people on
my gym argue about the bike lanes for hours, so well,
they're not even listening to each other.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
They just talk over each other.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
What Marty just said is the only good explanation I
have heard for a while. Martylangton dot org is the website.
I'm gonna vote for him. I think you guys should too.
Speaker 2 (21:09):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
