Speaker 1 (00:00):
Did that. That Spider Man guy climbed the outside of
another skyscraper. No, I was just reading this thread on Reddit.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It was one of those which would you rather scenarios
and it involved Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
So but nobody climbing a building. I always enjoy that.
I like watching that guy climb that building, man, because
you know there's a chance he might slip.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well, didn't the French guy eventually? Didn't He fall to
his death? Yes, one of them did, and you know
that's terrible.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But also nobody made him do it. Nobody forced him.
It was his call, right, Yeah, you know you f
around wouldn't find out? I guess huh, all right, what
would you rather?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Would you rather spend a night with Sidney Sweeney or
become Spider Man and gain all his powers?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Go ahead? Oh wait a second, now that Sydney Sweeney. Gal,
that's the one you like? Right? Oh? I love Sidney Sweeney.
Yeah that that's not my kind of that's not my look,
That's not what I'm going for if I was, you know,
still a young enough man and single and free to
go for something. No, I just like her acting. What
did you think I met? I am assuming? Yeah? You
(01:05):
liked it, especially when she's acting and facing sideways to
the camera.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, I like both of her acting ability. Personally, I'm
kind of afraid of heights.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I don't think i'd like that swinging from tall buildings,
so you'd go to Sydney swinging. Then She's not really
something that would do it for me either. But we
could enjoy spending the evening together. The I mean, you
didn't say I had to do anything like touch her. No,
that's true. You do to spend the night talking about,
you know, the books that we've both enjoyed and that
(01:35):
sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You're telling me you, as a homosexual man, would rather
spend the night talking to some blonde actress than have superpowers.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Again, I don't care for the heights. Whats good as
Superman's powers if he's not flying through the air, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well what good is the big beautiful bell. I was
looking at what's in it? And we have an answer.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Now, it's a big bill. You had time to look
through the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, the cliff notes, but it does. I do have
some information here on it. One of the things it
does is provide funding for ten thousand new ice agents.
So that sounds good. But I ask you this, The
problem right now with deportations isn't the lack of ICE agents.
It's rogue judges. Why do we need ten thousand new
ICE agents?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Maybe to invade the judges? Who is sick them on?
The judges? How about that?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, I'm on board. Fine, that's not the reason though. No,
but that answer satisfies me.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It does seem like it's gonna be kind of pricey.
Ten thousand more. I don't know, but it's kind of
like our the military at the border, So better to
be too many than not enough.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Town Hall printed a list of this townhall dot com
and the first item on it is provides funding for
ten thousand new ICE personnel. Then you scroll down on
the list, and then again it says funds the hiring
of ten thousand new crime investigators. Does that mean twenty
thousand personnel or do they mean that that's do they
just mentioned.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It twy It seems like the same thing the way
they worded it, But who knows. Sometimes they word things
like that so they can change their mind later about stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Also listed in here and provides twelve billion dollars to
reimburse states for actions taken to deter mitigate or prevent
unlawful or illicit activities related to border security. They're most
I'm guessing most of that money will be allocated to Texas.
And I know that sounds good to our listeners in Texas,
But as a resident of the state of Texas, I
ask you this, do our elected officials deserve that?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Do they deserve what twelve billion dollars? The billion I'm
sure they have perfectly legitimate plans to spend that money, like,
for example, Lena Hidalgo, who has requested for US to
pay for her trip to Paris. See that's what I'm
(03:52):
worried about it. I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Texas had to pay more money for border security than
all the other states did.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
A big ass border I don't know if you if
you look down there or not, but it's a bigan.
That was cool that we did that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But then also, if they reimburse our state with the
twelve billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The government's just going to take it and waste it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
They're giving away subsidies right now to Hollywood movie companies,
and they're not giving any property tax relief in the
state of Texas. I don't feel like our elected officials
will use that twelve billion for anything.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Let's screen. Let me guess you would rather pay less
in property tex Yes, you would, you would. You're the
guy who says paid less would be well, good thing.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
The people that are advocating for these the people advocating
for these subsidies for the Hollywood movie studios, will.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Say, well, it's good for our economy.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, no, no, you know what's good for our economy,
Property tax relief. Property tax relief helps everyone, including hypothetical
Hollywood movie studios that might come here and film another
season of Walker Texas Ranger twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
With a black, gay, disabled trans star. How about what
you say? No to that?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, that's what I'm saying, don't do that anyway?
Back to the big beautiful bell.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Did Elon Musk or did the doge vides ten thousand
new agents? No, that doesn't have anything to do with him. Well,
don't you think you'll run this by the dude that's
cutting expenses before you sign on to it is his job, right,
that's what he's supposed to be doing. Wouldn't it be amazing?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I don't quite understand how it works, because it's a
Congressional Budget bill. It's not executive orders, But wouldn't it
be funny if this all passed and then somehow Trump
and Dodge found a way to cut most of me.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna have to back out on some
of that night.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I'm not quite sure the logistics of even if that's
possible after Congress passes it. But anyway, they also want
to make the twenty seventeen Trump era tax cuts permanent.
That saves the average American family about seventeen hundred dollars
a year. It's the equivalent of nine weeks of groceries.
As one of the people that you know pays my
quarterly taxes instead of W two.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know, I know most of the people in this room.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Do you really see the change? We really saw the
change because we're contractors. When those tax cuts went into
effect in twenty seventeen, it really affected my life.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Of course, it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Wasn't It wasn't said that amount of money changed the
quality of living for me at the time, based on
my income level and how much I was.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That was a big deal to me.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Anyone telling you that that's not a real thing, or
that lie only works if you earn a W two
and you don't really look at how much money comes
out of your paycheck.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And we have recommended young people, especially who've just started
getting a paycheck, take a look at that check, examine that,
see what that is. Because first thing they noticed is
you know how a young I used to do this too.
You'd sit there at work some days and you just
kill time, you know, six eight hours of the day
by trying to figure out exactly how much your check's
(06:38):
going to be. You know, they tell you you're't gonna
make this much. Okay, well, here's how much I'm going
to get this week. But then the check comes and
it's not even close to what I was expecting, right,
war and all that money go. They took eight hundred
and sixty seven dollars out for something called fuda. What
the heck is fuda? Well there was also a faika. Yeah, fuda,
(07:00):
and they it seems like they misspelled every one of
them f words, don't it.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, no kidding, speaking aflord, All my homies hate Osha.
You guys like Osha?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah? You do? You like Osha? I mean, I like
keeping people safe at the job site, and I think
Osha sucks. But you know inspectors or the individual The
idea of OSHA's great, it's the individuals that are carrying
it out. I got nothing to say good about most
of these inspectors that show up on a job site
because they're pretty, the just pretty.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And I don't like the name Osha either, I mean,
look at it, yeah, I mean, anyway about Orca?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do you like Orca? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I like the idea of a whale, like ripping something apart.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But just the name. You don't like o s h A.
How are you about rc A?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm okay with it, okay, yeah, because the R and
the C are menacing. Orca ya, Osha. It's some one
of those four letter words, right, or Orca that sounds
masculine and manly and tough. Osha that sounds feminine, impristed
in sissy and beta prissy. Yeah exactly, thank you. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. Anyway, These tax cuts are good.
It will the tax cuts will increase annual take home
(08:09):
pay for a medium income household with two kids by
roughly four thousand to five thousand dollars per year. You
think that would help out most people listening right now.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, it wouldn't hurt much.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
This will raise the annual real wages by twenty one
hundred to thirty three hundred dollars per worker.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And so it's great.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And this delivers on the priority of the no tax
on tips, no tax on overtime car loan interest, additional
tax relief for our seniors. This is all the tax
Stuff's great. The tax cuts I love, suspending I don't
love anyway. This will repeal the requirement for firearms silencers.
I don't know what that has to do with it,
but it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, they flip some things in there, because that's what
politicians do.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
This will lock in and boost the double child tax credit.
It will support working families by expanding access to childcare,
making the paid leave tax credit permanent.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
A lot of stuff in here about the energy industry.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
At Reinstate's quarterly onshore oil and gas san leases generates
twelve billion dollars in rev if you work in oil
and gas. If you're out of work right now, in
you're in oil and gas. I got to think that
once this new bill goes into effect, still got to
pass the Senate, but it looks like that's more likely
than the House.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And then Trump will definitely sign it. I don't think
it was his bill, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Republicans could only afford to lose three GOP votes with
the Thomas Massey of Kentucky obviously, Warren Davidson joined the
Democrats in opposition, and then House Freedom Caucus Chair Representative
Andy Harris.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Voted present, Present, pussy. Yeah, well yourly do that so
later they can tell you they were for it. If
if they're the people that are going to vote for
you were for it, me too, and then the people
that want to vote for you that were against it,
me too. Yeah that's real handy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, actually you're right about that, Billy, I know, or
you can't ever say he was against it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You will see what the what Trump did with the
Africa and president yeah, South African President of South Africa. Yeah,
they said that Trump rounded them up in the in
the Oval office and then wheeled a TV up in
there and then locked the doors and made the entire
South presidential entourage watch Home Alone too. Wow, made him
(10:20):
watch the whole thing. That's the not just the parts
where Trump's in it, but the whole day of movie.
That's the best Home Alone. How'd you find us? You
were looking for a better chin on the radio Walton
and Johnson Radio Network. Calm down, sir, I can't. I'm
too excited about Memorial Day weekend. Yeah, when is that
(10:41):
this year? It's this weekend. Oh, I should have made
plans uding, of course, I know what it is. I've
got the red, white and blue bunting. How much bunting
did you buy? Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I generally don't bunch. I try to hit and see
if I can get on first or second. That way,
you know that's that's smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah, swing if
you can. I mean, you really just got to get
it on the ground. If you've run fast enough, you'll
make it to first.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
If you try to hit a home run, chances or
you won't. Thing is to just relax, smooth, swing right
through the ball, don't worry about if it's gonna be
jacked or not. You've seen golfers. They say the more
more you relax and just swing smooth, the further the
ball goes. You tense up, you try to muscle it,
You're not gonna get it there.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, I know, you just got to stay loose. That's
why when I bat, I go to the batting cages.
I use this thing one of mister Kenneth's friends gave me.
It's called what do they call it? Poppers. It just
makes you loosen up a little. That'll do it. I
don't understand what the point of it it was originally,
but it works great. Nobody remembers for batting. It works great.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We were just talking about that South African situation a
minute ago, and here comes an email from you know,
the listeners here at the Walton Johnson waldon Johnson dot com.
It turns out this guy says the King of Wakanda
was lying to Trump when he when he said that
white farmers land used to belong to the Black Africans
(12:07):
and and there you know, their forefathers and fore mothers
or whoever man either were. Apparently the real story is
that nobody lived where the boors settled way way back
in the day. Board doesn't mean that they're a wild
animal with tusks, or that they're born that they're uninteresting. Yeah,
(12:29):
it's just I think it's the Dutch word for farmer. Yeah,
that's right. And so and this goes back to the
days when England and the Dutch were big on sailing
around the world and taking over places where they didn't
come from, like I don't know, Hong Kong, India, South Africa,
the United States of America, And yeah, I think we
(12:51):
did a little bit of that here too. According to
Lara Logan, who you know, kind of does her research
and looks into this sort of thing. I like her,
the tribes were drawn in the Black Africas of South Africa.
They were drawn to the area after the farmers had
(13:12):
gotten there and made it inhabitable. Wow, they were like, oh,
I see, you've done something nice with the place. We'll
take that. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of the way it
worked out.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They have us saying in South Africa, and I'm paraphrasing
here because I don't have to memorized. Somebody from South
Africa explained this to me before. It was we didn't
need these big buildings, and we won't before you got here,
and we won't need them after you're gone, or something
like that. And what it essentially means is, you know,
we were happy to just live in squalor conditions without
(13:44):
modern technology.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And then they got a taste of the sweet life. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Anyway, it is Memorial Day weekend and we're excited and
now mom thoughts why is.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Every solemn holiday marked by furniture sales and barbecues? Well,
you never understand it? Young? Who made the kul saw? Yeah?
This has been the thoughts. What we're looking forward to
this weekend? Huh.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Colesau is one of those things you don't understand it
as a kid, but then as an adult it makes
perfect sense. When you really start getting into eating meat.
The coal saw is the perfect thing to cool it
down your palate. It's a cleansing food. You take a
bite of the brisket, you take a bite of the sausage,
You take a bite of the coal saw, and then
you repeat.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Is that how we do it? Should I write these
things down? Or will you publish a pamphlet?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Second day in a row, our breakfast included pickled jalapenos,
and I gotta tell you, I really enjoyed it. We
had pickled halapinos on our breakfast burgers. Do you like
burgers or scrambled eggs? Do you like omelets or pizza?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I like? Do you actually just like pickled jalapinos? And
you don't really care what they're on? That flavor overwhelms
the flavors the intended meal.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know, you're not wrong about that, but it's like
everything in moderation, right. Like you put a little bit
of pickles on a fried chicken sandwich, it's great, you
put too many on, You're just having a pickle sandwich.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Same thing with a tabasco or your choice of hot sauce,
whatever you like. You get you a big, nice bowl
of gumbo. There you dive in. You needs a little flavored, theeds,
a little spice. Now, if you dope the whole jar,
you go mess up your gumbo. It's true, you just
put enough in there to make it right.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I had one of those experiences this weekend where this
past weekend where I was eating an omelet and somebody
that didn't know how the salt shaker worked unscrewed it.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And they knew what they were doing. Son of them.
Yeah they did that on purpose.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Pissed me off, right, and I was in a hurry
to get to the airport. I still ate the eggs.
It just pissed me off.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
How much salt do you think you've ingested?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's you know what, it's salt is not the problem.
It's lack of activity. People will tell you, oh, too
much sodium. You're gonna get a heart attack. You can
eat all the red meat and salt you want. Just
get out there and run a few all you want.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You could eat. Did you eat the whole shaker full?
I did? Yeah, and you're still fine and I'm fine.
You look good. Look at me, I feel good. Your
veins in your forehead are really pulsing though. That's that's good. No,
it's vascular. My strength training coach says, that's good. That's
a good thing. Yeah, exactly. Did you know that you
can bet on which one of the New Orleans escapees
will get caught next.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I did know that, and I'm glad you brought it
up because I kept forgetting to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I didn't know, but I read Mike's email. Mike said,
don't know if you mentioned or not, but you can
do that what I just said, Uh forgot the website,
but there are several betting sites will accept bets on
who gets captured next.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Bro, this has us written all over at the website's
polymarket dot com. That's one of them, and they're calling
them prisoner parlays pause for a laugh track Arl. You
can now bet on which inmates from the New Orleans
jael Break will be captured by Friday, that's tomorrow. And
so I got a list of them here, hang on,
let me find their photos here. Here's who we still
(16:58):
have on the loose right now. Leo Tait, Derek Groves,
Antoine Massi. Now, Antoine seems like he's gonna get caught.
He's got face tattoos, an't.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I don't have a lot of faith in Antwell, I'm
surprised they didn't put him back in there, like second,
you know, the first dude was begging for it. Yeah,
he went on Instagram, on the on the internet that
look at look at me. I was in jail and
now I'm out. And then they just said, well, let's
go get that guy. It's easy. Yeah, it's not a
big place. It's easy to find. But Atwall is still
on the run. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And Antoine's face is covered in tattoos. It even looks
like he's got two or three penises tattooed on his face.
There's like a thing on his forehead. How do you
get t And he's like, no, it's a bone. It
looks like a penis to me, buddy, how do you
get talked into that?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Bet did you lose anyway. Speaking of bets Lenon van Buren,
he's a chubby boy. I gotta think they get him soon.
You know, it looks like he can run fast.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You think most of them are hunkering down, or you
think they're actually trying to get the hell away from
New Orleans because some of them got arrested in like
that one dude in the French Quarter. He didn't go
far at all. Yeah, exactly, they didn't get far.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I gotta think if you have face facial hair, that's
an evy shaved cut your hair, shave your face, right,
if you're one of these guys. If you have face tattoos,
cover it up with makeup. Look at this guy, Derek
Rubs got his neck covered in tattoos. Yeah, get a turtlenick,
I mean something, right, Yeah, I mean don't think it
looked funny running around New Orleans and a turtleneck.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And almost June. I mean it's kind of warm and humid.
They must be out of New Orleans by now, right,
You think they're still there. Some of them probably still are.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
These inmates are very dangerous, by the way, when you
look at what they were charged with.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Oh yeah, it is a double murders, and there's a
lot attempted murders accused murder. Some of them a actually
been convicted of murder yet because they hadn't had a
chance to convict him before they sprung out.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Dude, the guy that got caught sleeping on a bench,
like you couldn't make yourself look more homeless or just
sleep in a bush or something. I mean, I guess
I get it, it's New Orleans. I wouldn't want to
sleep in a bush either, But then keep moving, Bubba,
you know, like you're you broke out of jail. Why
are you taking a nap for I'm beginning to think
these types of people are just lazy.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It does seem that way. They're not even making a
really energized effort and keeping their freedom. No wonder it
was only second degree murder charges. You weren't even he
wasn't giving them a full effort.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Now do you not even determine enough for first degree murder?
That you're just lazy?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You know very much? And yeah, your mom must be
ashamed of you. By the way, we got a diet
unfortunate death. I won't say sudden, that's up to you to desire,
but an unfortunate death in the sports world this morning.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Would you say it's a medical coincidence or probably not?
It could be that's up to you desire. I'll give
you this facts and you desire from there what you
want to do with death. And then I guess we
have to do sports too.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It is a sports story, so that that might be, uh,
you know, how to how to get into that? So
much coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
We're gonna read your email. Someone's getting kicked off a plane.
We've got your technology news, the latest from outer space.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I normally don't get off into the sports much unless
you guys forget to talk about, you know, one of
the big Tennis Grand Slams. But we have news about
your tush push. Oh finally, Walton and Johnson.
Did that. That Spider Man guy climbed the outside of
another skyscraper. No, I was just reading this thread on Reddit.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It was one of those which would you rather scenarios
and it involved Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
So but nobody climbing a building. I always enjoy that.
I like watching that guy climb that building, man, because
you know there's a chance he might slip.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well, didn't the French guy eventually? Didn't He fall to
his death? Yes, one of them did, and you know
that's terrible.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But also nobody made him do it. Nobody forced him.
It was his call, right, Yeah, you know you f
around wouldn't find out? I guess huh, all right, what
would you rather?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Would you rather spend a night with Sidney Sweeney or
become Spider Man and gain all his powers?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Go ahead? Oh wait a second, now that Sydney Sweeney. Gal,
that's the one you like? Right? Oh? I love Sidney Sweeney.
Yeah that that's not my kind of that's not my look,
That's not what I'm going for if I was, you know,
still a young enough man and single and free to
go for something. No, I just like her acting. What
did you think I met? I am assuming? Yeah? You
(01:05):
liked it, especially when she's acting and facing sideways to
the camera.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, I like both of her acting ability. Personally, I'm
kind of afraid of heights.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I don't think i'd like that swinging from tall buildings,
so you'd go to Sydney swinging. Then She's not really
something that would do it for me either. But we
could enjoy spending the evening together. The I mean, you
didn't say I had to do anything like touch her. No,
that's true. You do to spend the night talking about,
you know, the books that we've both enjoyed and that
(01:35):
sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You're telling me you, as a homosexual man, would rather
spend the night talking to some blonde actress than have superpowers.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Again, I don't care for the heights. Whats good as
Superman's powers if he's not flying through the air, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well what good is the big beautiful bell. I was
looking at what's in it? And we have an answer.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Now, it's a big bill. You had time to look
through the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, the cliff notes, but it does. I do have
some information here on it. One of the things it
does is provide funding for ten thousand new ice agents.
So that sounds good. But I ask you this, The
problem right now with deportations isn't the lack of ICE agents.
It's rogue judges. Why do we need ten thousand new
ICE agents?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Maybe to invade the judges? Who is sick them on?
The judges? How about that?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, I'm on board. Fine, that's not the reason though. No,
but that answer satisfies me.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It does seem like it's gonna be kind of pricey.
Ten thousand more. I don't know, but it's kind of
like our the military at the border, So better to
be too many than not enough.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Town Hall printed a list of this townhall dot com
and the first item on it is provides funding for
ten thousand new ICE personnel. Then you scroll down on
the list, and then again it says funds the hiring
of ten thousand new crime investigators. Does that mean twenty
thousand personnel or do they mean that that's do they
just mentioned.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It twy It seems like the same thing the way
they worded it, But who knows. Sometimes they word things
like that so they can change their mind later about stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Also listed in here and provides twelve billion dollars to
reimburse states for actions taken to deter mitigate or prevent
unlawful or illicit activities related to border security. They're most
I'm guessing most of that money will be allocated to Texas.
And I know that sounds good to our listeners in Texas,
But as a resident of the state of Texas, I
ask you this, do our elected officials deserve that?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Do they deserve what twelve billion dollars? The billion I'm
sure they have perfectly legitimate plans to spend that money, like,
for example, Lena Hidalgo, who has requested for US to
pay for her trip to Paris. See that's what I'm
(03:52):
worried about it. I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Texas had to pay more money for border security than
all the other states did.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
A big ass border I don't know if you if
you look down there or not, but it's a bigan.
That was cool that we did that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But then also, if they reimburse our state with the
twelve billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The government's just going to take it and waste it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
They're giving away subsidies right now to Hollywood movie companies,
and they're not giving any property tax relief in the
state of Texas. I don't feel like our elected officials
will use that twelve billion for anything.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Let's screen. Let me guess you would rather pay less
in property tex Yes, you would, you would. You're the
guy who says paid less would be well, good thing.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
The people that are advocating for these the people advocating
for these subsidies for the Hollywood movie studios, will.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Say, well, it's good for our economy.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, no, no, you know what's good for our economy,
Property tax relief. Property tax relief helps everyone, including hypothetical
Hollywood movie studios that might come here and film another
season of Walker Texas Ranger twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
With a black, gay, disabled trans star. How about what
you say? No to that?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, that's what I'm saying, don't do that anyway?
Back to the big beautiful bell.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Did Elon Musk or did the doge vides ten thousand
new agents? No, that doesn't have anything to do with him. Well,
don't you think you'll run this by the dude that's
cutting expenses before you sign on to it is his job, right,
that's what he's supposed to be doing. Wouldn't it be amazing?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I don't quite understand how it works, because it's a
Congressional Budget bill. It's not executive orders, But wouldn't it
be funny if this all passed and then somehow Trump
and Dodge found a way to cut most of me.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna have to back out on some
of that night.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I'm not quite sure the logistics of even if that's
possible after Congress passes it. But anyway, they also want
to make the twenty seventeen Trump era tax cuts permanent.
That saves the average American family about seventeen hundred dollars
a year. It's the equivalent of nine weeks of groceries.
As one of the people that you know pays my
quarterly taxes instead of W two.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know, I know most of the people in this room.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Do you really see the change? We really saw the
change because we're contractors. When those tax cuts went into
effect in twenty seventeen, it really affected my life.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Of course, it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Wasn't It wasn't said that amount of money changed the
quality of living for me at the time, based on
my income level and how much I was.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That was a big deal to me.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Anyone telling you that that's not a real thing, or
that lie only works if you earn a W two
and you don't really look at how much money comes
out of your paycheck.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And we have recommended young people, especially who've just started
getting a paycheck, take a look at that check, examine that,
see what that is. Because first thing they noticed is
you know how a young I used to do this too.
You'd sit there at work some days and you just
kill time, you know, six eight hours of the day
by trying to figure out exactly how much your check's
(06:38):
going to be. You know, they tell you you're't gonna
make this much. Okay, well, here's how much I'm going
to get this week. But then the check comes and
it's not even close to what I was expecting, right,
war and all that money go. They took eight hundred
and sixty seven dollars out for something called fuda. What
the heck is fuda? Well there was also a faika. Yeah, fuda,
(07:00):
and they it seems like they misspelled every one of
them f words, don't it.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, no kidding, speaking aflord, All my homies hate Osha.
You guys like Osha?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah? You do? You like Osha? I mean, I like
keeping people safe at the job site, and I think
Osha sucks. But you know inspectors or the individual The
idea of OSHA's great, it's the individuals that are carrying
it out. I got nothing to say good about most
of these inspectors that show up on a job site
because they're pretty, the just pretty.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And I don't like the name Osha either, I mean,
look at it, yeah, I mean, anyway about Orca?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do you like Orca? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I like the idea of a whale, like ripping something apart.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But just the name. You don't like o s h A.
How are you about rc A?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm okay with it, okay, yeah, because the R and
the C are menacing. Orca ya, Osha. It's some one
of those four letter words, right, or Orca that sounds
masculine and manly and tough. Osha that sounds feminine, impristed
in sissy and beta prissy. Yeah exactly, thank you. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. Anyway, These tax cuts are good.
It will the tax cuts will increase annual take home
(08:09):
pay for a medium income household with two kids by
roughly four thousand to five thousand dollars per year. You
think that would help out most people listening right now.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, it wouldn't hurt much.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
This will raise the annual real wages by twenty one
hundred to thirty three hundred dollars per worker.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And so it's great.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And this delivers on the priority of the no tax
on tips, no tax on overtime car loan interest, additional
tax relief for our seniors. This is all the tax
Stuff's great. The tax cuts I love, suspending I don't
love anyway. This will repeal the requirement for firearms silencers.
I don't know what that has to do with it,
but it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, they flip some things in there, because that's what
politicians do.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
This will lock in and boost the double child tax credit.
It will support working families by expanding access to childcare,
making the paid leave tax credit permanent.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
A lot of stuff in here about the energy industry.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
At Reinstate's quarterly onshore oil and gas san leases generates
twelve billion dollars in rev if you work in oil
and gas. If you're out of work right now, in
you're in oil and gas. I got to think that
once this new bill goes into effect, still got to
pass the Senate, but it looks like that's more likely
than the House.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And then Trump will definitely sign it. I don't think
it was his bill, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Republicans could only afford to lose three GOP votes with
the Thomas Massey of Kentucky obviously, Warren Davidson joined the
Democrats in opposition, and then House Freedom Caucus Chair Representative
Andy Harris.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Voted present, Present, pussy. Yeah, well yourly do that so
later they can tell you they were for it. If
if they're the people that are going to vote for
you were for it, me too, and then the people
that want to vote for you that were against it,
me too. Yeah that's real handy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, actually you're right about that, Billy, I know, or
you can't ever say he was against it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You will see what the what Trump did with the
Africa and president yeah, South African President of South Africa. Yeah,
they said that Trump rounded them up in the in
the Oval office and then wheeled a TV up in
there and then locked the doors and made the entire
South presidential entourage watch Home Alone too. Wow, made him
(10:20):
watch the whole thing. That's the not just the parts
where Trump's in it, but the whole day of movie.
That's the best Home Alone. How'd you find us? You
were looking for a better chin on the radio Walton
and Johnson Radio Network. Calm down, sir, I can't. I'm
too excited about Memorial Day weekend. Yeah, when is that
(10:41):
this year? It's this weekend. Oh, I should have made
plans uding, of course, I know what it is. I've
got the red, white and blue bunting. How much bunting
did you buy? Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I generally don't bunch. I try to hit and see
if I can get on first or second. That way,
you know that's that's smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah, swing if
you can. I mean, you really just got to get
it on the ground. If you've run fast enough, you'll
make it to first.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
If you try to hit a home run, chances or
you won't. Thing is to just relax, smooth, swing right
through the ball, don't worry about if it's gonna be
jacked or not. You've seen golfers. They say the more
more you relax and just swing smooth, the further the
ball goes. You tense up, you try to muscle it,
You're not gonna get it there.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, I know, you just got to stay loose. That's
why when I bat, I go to the batting cages.
I use this thing one of mister Kenneth's friends gave me.
It's called what do they call it? Poppers. It just
makes you loosen up a little. That'll do it. I
don't understand what the point of it it was originally,
but it works great. Nobody remembers for batting. It works great.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We were just talking about that South African situation a
minute ago, and here comes an email from you know,
the listeners here at the Walton Johnson waldon Johnson dot com.
It turns out this guy says the King of Wakanda
was lying to Trump when he when he said that
white farmers land used to belong to the Black Africans
(12:07):
and and there you know, their forefathers and fore mothers
or whoever man either were. Apparently the real story is
that nobody lived where the boors settled way way back
in the day. Board doesn't mean that they're a wild
animal with tusks, or that they're born that they're uninteresting. Yeah,
(12:29):
it's just I think it's the Dutch word for farmer. Yeah,
that's right. And so and this goes back to the
days when England and the Dutch were big on sailing
around the world and taking over places where they didn't
come from, like I don't know, Hong Kong, India, South Africa,
the United States of America, And yeah, I think we
(12:51):
did a little bit of that here too. According to
Lara Logan, who you know, kind of does her research
and looks into this sort of thing. I like her,
the tribes were drawn in the Black Africas of South Africa.
They were drawn to the area after the farmers had
(13:12):
gotten there and made it inhabitable. Wow, they were like, oh,
I see, you've done something nice with the place. We'll
take that. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of the way it
worked out.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They have us saying in South Africa, and I'm paraphrasing
here because I don't have to memorized. Somebody from South
Africa explained this to me before. It was we didn't
need these big buildings, and we won't before you got here,
and we won't need them after you're gone, or something
like that. And what it essentially means is, you know,
we were happy to just live in squalor conditions without
(13:44):
modern technology.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And then they got a taste of the sweet life. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Anyway, it is Memorial Day weekend and we're excited and
now mom thoughts why is.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Every solemn holiday marked by furniture sales and barbecues? Well,
you never understand it? Young? Who made the kul saw? Yeah?
This has been the thoughts. What we're looking forward to
this weekend? Huh.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Colesau is one of those things you don't understand it
as a kid, but then as an adult it makes
perfect sense. When you really start getting into eating meat.
The coal saw is the perfect thing to cool it
down your palate. It's a cleansing food. You take a
bite of the brisket, you take a bite of the sausage,
You take a bite of the coal saw, and then
you repeat.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Is that how we do it? Should I write these
things down? Or will you publish a pamphlet?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Second day in a row, our breakfast included pickled jalapenos,
and I gotta tell you, I really enjoyed it. We
had pickled halapinos on our breakfast burgers. Do you like
burgers or scrambled eggs? Do you like omelets or pizza?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I like? Do you actually just like pickled jalapinos? And
you don't really care what they're on? That flavor overwhelms
the flavors the intended meal.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know, you're not wrong about that, but it's like
everything in moderation, right. Like you put a little bit
of pickles on a fried chicken sandwich, it's great, you
put too many on, You're just having a pickle sandwich.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Same thing with a tabasco or your choice of hot sauce,
whatever you like. You get you a big, nice bowl
of gumbo. There you dive in. You needs a little flavored, theeds,
a little spice. Now, if you dope the whole jar,
you go mess up your gumbo. It's true, you just
put enough in there to make it right.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I had one of those experiences this weekend where this
past weekend where I was eating an omelet and somebody
that didn't know how the salt shaker worked unscrewed it.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And they knew what they were doing. Son of them.
Yeah they did that on purpose.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Pissed me off, right, and I was in a hurry
to get to the airport. I still ate the eggs.
It just pissed me off.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
How much salt do you think you've ingested?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's you know what, it's salt is not the problem.
It's lack of activity. People will tell you, oh, too
much sodium. You're gonna get a heart attack. You can
eat all the red meat and salt you want. Just
get out there and run a few all you want.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You could eat. Did you eat the whole shaker full?
I did? Yeah, and you're still fine and I'm fine.
You look good. Look at me, I feel good. Your
veins in your forehead are really pulsing though. That's that's good. No,
it's vascular. My strength training coach says, that's good. That's
a good thing. Yeah, exactly. Did you know that you
can bet on which one of the New Orleans escapees
will get caught next.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I did know that, and I'm glad you brought it
up because I kept forgetting to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I didn't know, but I read Mike's email. Mike said,
don't know if you mentioned or not, but you can
do that what I just said, Uh forgot the website,
but there are several betting sites will accept bets on
who gets captured next.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Bro, this has us written all over at the website's
polymarket dot com. That's one of them, and they're calling
them prisoner parlays pause for a laugh track Arl. You
can now bet on which inmates from the New Orleans
jael Break will be captured by Friday, that's tomorrow. And
so I got a list of them here, hang on,
let me find their photos here. Here's who we still
(16:58):
have on the loose right now. Leo Tait, Derek Groves,
Antoine Massi. Now, Antoine seems like he's gonna get caught.
He's got face tattoos, an't.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I don't have a lot of faith in Antwell, I'm
surprised they didn't put him back in there, like second,
you know, the first dude was begging for it. Yeah,
he went on Instagram, on the on the internet that
look at look at me. I was in jail and
now I'm out. And then they just said, well, let's
go get that guy. It's easy. Yeah, it's not a
big place. It's easy to find. But Atwall is still
on the run. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And Antoine's face is covered in tattoos. It even looks
like he's got two or three penises tattooed on his face.
There's like a thing on his forehead. How do you
get t And he's like, no, it's a bone. It
looks like a penis to me, buddy, how do you
get talked into that?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Bet did you lose anyway. Speaking of bets Lenon van Buren,
he's a chubby boy. I gotta think they get him soon.
You know, it looks like he can run fast.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You think most of them are hunkering down, or you
think they're actually trying to get the hell away from
New Orleans because some of them got arrested in like
that one dude in the French Quarter. He didn't go
far at all. Yeah, exactly, they didn't get far.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I gotta think if you have face facial hair, that's
an evy shaved cut your hair, shave your face, right,
if you're one of these guys. If you have face tattoos,
cover it up with makeup. Look at this guy, Derek
Rubs got his neck covered in tattoos. Yeah, get a turtlenick,
I mean something, right, Yeah, I mean don't think it
looked funny running around New Orleans and a turtleneck.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And almost June. I mean it's kind of warm and humid.
They must be out of New Orleans by now, right,
You think they're still there. Some of them probably still are.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
These inmates are very dangerous, by the way, when you
look at what they were charged with.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Oh yeah, it is a double murders, and there's a
lot attempted murders accused murder. Some of them a actually
been convicted of murder yet because they hadn't had a
chance to convict him before they sprung out.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Dude, the guy that got caught sleeping on a bench,
like you couldn't make yourself look more homeless or just
sleep in a bush or something. I mean, I guess
I get it, it's New Orleans. I wouldn't want to
sleep in a bush either, But then keep moving, Bubba,
you know, like you're you broke out of jail. Why
are you taking a nap for I'm beginning to think
these types of people are just lazy.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It does seem that way. They're not even making a
really energized effort and keeping their freedom. No wonder it
was only second degree murder charges. You weren't even he
wasn't giving them a full effort.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Now do you not even determine enough for first degree murder?
That you're just lazy?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You know very much? And yeah, your mom must be
ashamed of you. By the way, we got a diet
unfortunate death. I won't say sudden, that's up to you to desire,
but an unfortunate death in the sports world this morning.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Would you say it's a medical coincidence or probably not?
It could be that's up to you desire. I'll give
you this facts and you desire from there what you
want to do with death. And then I guess we
have to do sports too.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It is a sports story, so that that might be, uh,
you know, how to how to get into that? So
much coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
We're gonna read your email. Someone's getting kicked off a plane.
We've got your technology news, the latest from outer space.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I normally don't get off into the sports much unless
you guys forget to talk about, you know, one of
the big Tennis Grand Slams. But we have news about
your tush push. Oh finally, Walton and Johnson.
