Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a pretty short list of politicians we get along
with here. It's your favorite morning show, unless we're not
your favorite morning show, and then in that case, you
know we we like all the politicians you hate. Make
a list we like them all. Yeah, no, I really though.
It is a shortlist. Some local guys here in the area,
some people from our home state, and as some of
you might know, we are friends with the I mean
(00:22):
good acquaintances, I guess good acquaintances, buddies whatever, chums with
the governor of Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, you call him Jeff, I believe.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, because we're on first name basis. That's that's how
tight we are.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
People.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Whenever we say we like Governor Landry Well, we'll get
ten emails they are like, yeah, he did a good job.
He cleaned up New Orleans, he got the he got
Louisiana out of their education slump, the economy seems to
be improving, unemployments down.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And then there'll be one guy he's like, I didn't
like this.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's like all right, no, no, we get it. It's
nobody's perfect. We understand, but I will tell you, having
spoken to a lot of politicians over the years on
the phone, in person, at events and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
There are very few people that I.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Find to be genuine Cajun Trump. I make an exception.
I do find that Governor Landry is being real with us.
I just think he is, and I'll it being said that. Obviously,
there's a reason why we're bringing him up today. Yesterday
he was discussed. He was mentioned by the greatest president
(01:26):
of our lifetime, Ronald Reagan. No, I'm kidding, Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Washington, DC is a totally safe city. You're not reporting
any crime because there is none. They said crime is
down eighty seven percent, and I said, no, it's not,
it's down one hundred percent. We have a great thing going.
I could do that with Chicago. We could do that
with New York. We could do it with Los Angeles.
So we're making a determination now, do we go to
(01:51):
Chicago or do we go to a place like New Orleans,
where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants
us to come in and straighten out a very nice
section of this country that's become quite you know, quite tough,
quite bad. So we're going to be going to maybe Louisiana,
(02:14):
and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem,
will straighten that out in about two weeks. It'll take
us two weeks easier than DC. But we could straighten
out Chicago. All they have to do is ask us
to go into Chicago if we don't have the support
of some of these politicians. But I'll tell you who
is supporting us, the people of Chicago. Bro.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, Bro, how could anyone be against this he's talking
about it's a short list of the most dangerous places
in America. Sure, I'd like Memphis and Detroit to be
on that list. As somebody that's traveled around the country
and seen some of the worst places. I don't know
why I've been to all the worst places. Cleveland have
a knock for it, I guess Beaumont. I've been to Beaumont.
(02:57):
No offense Beaumont. But well, you're in Beaumont. You know
you don't need me to tell you. Yeah, there are
places in this country that are not great. Like it
or not, they exist.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
When do you think about what he said the people
of Chicago are with him. Think about how many people
are shot and or killed in Chicago every weekend over
the last three to five years. It's a lot of
people right now. Each one of those people have multiple
family members and good friends who are probably upset that
(03:28):
their friend or family member got shot and or killed.
So there's maybe tens of thousands of ripples from the
crime in Chicago that have spread through the populace. Whether
the politicians figured this out or not. Every time that happens,
those people become more Republican, more conservative, and would like
(03:54):
less crime, but the politicians don't want to give them
less crime because Trump wants to do it. They can't
agree with that. So all the people of Chicago have
all either been victims or family members or close friends
have been victims of crime.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And yeah, they're probably sick and damn tired of it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I feel like over the everything you said is true,
and I feel like over the last week i've heard.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
What about that part where I said that I was
the master of the universe and can control time and
space and travel through dimensions?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Did you say that subconsciously? I didn't catch that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh yeah, I must have just been thinking that. Nevermind.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Man, Well, you know what, I can't disprove that it's true,
but all that he had said, Here's what I don't
get about this. We did this experiment in DC over
the past month or so. And at this point, because
I've just you know, I've watched the news all week
from this little studio. We're surrounded by TVs. I go home,
I watch cable news all day. What I cannot understand
after listening to hours of people on the left, Pritzker, whoever,
(04:51):
LaToya you know, and anyone that had a problem with this.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, what was her name?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Beetlejuice, the old Chicago mayor seems to be Lori Lightfoot,
seems to be part of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
The one thing I haven't heard any of them say,
even though they've talked about this for hours, is why
they have a problem with this. It's always about ice.
It's always about illegal immigration. But that's not what the
National Guard does. The National Guard's not going to go
in and bust illegal immigrants. All the National Guard did
in Washington, d C. Was stand around on the street,
just show up, be a presence. I have a good
(05:23):
friend that just went to Baltimore. While they were in Baltimore,
took a trip down to DC to see the sights
and catch a baseball game, and they said it was awesome.
They never felt nervous. Just the presence of the National
Guard on the street made them feel good and they
stayed and played. Six months ago, they would not have
(05:45):
felt that way. And that's the point, right, because the
National Guard in DC isn't really technically doing any police work.
The police are doing the police work. The National Guard
is just standing around on the street to make sure
there's no vandalism, petty theft, muggings. It's kind of hard
to rob a woman and steal her purse when there's
two soldiers standing on the corner. But that's all they're doing, right, Like,
(06:06):
what are they We've already seen this. What are they
worried about? What is what's the worst that could happen.
It's not like we're gonna eliminate the Third Amendment so
that you have to quarter soldiers in your home. They're
gonna sleep in bed with your teenage daughter.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And you say, what's the worst? What can they worry about?
Trump might look right.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I would someone do a radio show on a Thursday
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I have a problem if I am told not to discuss.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Something, Oh immediately, that's all you can think about talking about.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
If the program director walks in.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
He's like, hey, guys, I'm trying to work out a
deal today with.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Just don't say anything about planned parent house whatever they're
gonna buy.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Ads.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
No, then the whole show is about planned parent just
kind of you know, human nature. I guess I don't know.
I can't help it. So what were you told not
to talk about?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Quick?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Tell me more? You know what I do it. I
will tell you this. I was on the phone yesterday
with somebody in Washington, d C. And I'm not supposed
to tell you this, which is why I'm immediately going
to talk about it. Sure, I figured out why the
THHC bill in Texas stalled, and right now I am
told by good authority, is.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
This the TC built to ban it or to give
it ban rights?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Marijuana exists in Texas right now, despite what the Old
Republicans want. Really, this is one of the few things
that like MAGA and the Liberals seem to agree on.
The Libertarians, the centrists, the leftists, there's very few things
they all agree on. But one thing they all seem
to at the moment agree on, now that there's no
election for the moment, is they really hate the Old
Republicans the Dan Patricks and the George Bushes, and whether
(07:45):
you like it or not, two things you could say
about Trump that are crazy. He's probably done more than
any other president to legalize pot. And I know this
is weird, but if you just look at his record
as president, probably the most and this is crazy to say,
probably the most pro gay president we've ever.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Had, if you more so than Barack Obama was when
he got elected. But he wasn't like militarily like. He
wasn't like trying to make your kids gay, just said
he could be gay.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
And he isn't going overboard with the pot thing. You
almost never hear that mention on the federal level. Just
let the states handle it well. Texas not handling it well,
all right.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I was asked to write an op ed for a
popular national newspaper based out of Houston, Wonder which one
about what happened with about what happened with the marijuana bill.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
They're like, Kenny, can you figure this out? What happened with?
What was it? SB nine? It was called They wanted
to set at beel six. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They wanted to outlaw low grade THHD products in the
state of Texas and I'm on the phone yesterday. Can't
say with who, but I will tell you this, a
lot of Republicans and marijuana advocates and even some liberals
and Democrats at centrists were in DC yesterday to have
a meeting about rescheduling marijuana. Remember, it's the craziest thing.
(09:03):
We forget this. Sometimes marijuana is a Schedule one narcotic.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yes? It is?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
What else is Schedule one?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Math lsd like some of the most dangerous strokes that
they say.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Pot right and pot?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's like Dan Patrick is not not the sports guy obviously,
although I'm sure he's a douchebag too, the Lieutenant governor
of Texas. Dan Patrick's one of these old Republicans And
he's on the phone all day long with your grandma's
aunts cat Lady trying to figure out why there's a
pot store in her favorite strip mall right next to
the place where she gets her nails done.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
She hates that.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And he has been going around telling everybody you know,
marijuana is causing people to jump in front of trains
and have sex with black men.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Oh no, that's the worst thing ever.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
The train part, Yeah, obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
The black thing's great, obviously, But all that being said, Look,
we were just in Louisiana, where the Republican parties embraced
the marijuana industry, and there haven't really been any consequences.
Someone out there will find a statistic They're like, look,
crime went up in this one place where they legalized pot.
And then I've noticed, just anecdotally here that at the
(10:14):
time that they're saying it happened, crime went up everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, what a surprise.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But all that being said, here in the state of Texas,
I thought it was nine billion dollars. It's a ten
billion dollar industry. I was wrong about that. Roughly eighty
percent of Texans. This is truly an eighty twenty policy
here want it legalized. Yeah, it's ten point three billion,
by the way, And yeah, like, do.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You hate the vets. People with PTSD have a choice.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
They could eat a gummy bear once every week or two,
right and help them fall asleep, or we could put
them on opioids. What would you prefer? Yeah, right, I'm
sorry you hate our military veterans.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Maybe it's not so much to do with the fact
that it's it's a drugs it's going to get kids high.
It's It's also been called for as long as I've
been alive, almost a stare step drug. You know, you
start with marijuana, next thing you know, you're shooting up
with heroin. That's what they'd have you believe. So far,
I'm still not on heroin, right, but I have dabbled
(11:14):
with that, you know, the Devil's lettuce. I don't even
know anyone that's done heroin. I mean maybe I do,
I don't know. I don't know they They probably don't
just go out and tell you that immediately.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Even the founding fathers, guys George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, grew
hemp on their plantations for rope and paper, And I
don't suppose they were using it to help them relax
after a long day of the revolution.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
But you never know, No, what were those Indians putting
in a peace pipe? I mean, when they passed that
peace pipe around, dudes like, yeah, get it back over
here a minute.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I didn't hit it hard enough.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
One of my favorite little chapters of American history, probably
my favorite founding father, wasn't even a founding father for
the United States. He was a founding father for Texas,
Sam Houston Ool Sam. Wasn't there a period there? He
was way ahead of his time, Yes he was. He
was a pro union, he was a pro federalism. He
was anti slavery. Interestingly enough, way before it was fashionable.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Apparently dug Indian chicks pretty much too.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's where I'm going with this. Yeah, there was a
point in his life there where he spent a little time.
He had to get away from the white man, and
he went and lived on a reservation. Don't you wonder
what it would have been like.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I think he enjoyed himself. I mean, more so than
just with the young ladies.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I mean, I gotta know. And then the other My
other favorite story about old Americans is Mark Twain, before
he was famous.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You know that.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You know this story, junkin big old boulders into an
active volcano back.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
In the day before he was a famous writer. He
was a newspaper reporter and they sent Ino Hawaii, and
him and his guide stood on the side of a volcano,
pushing giant rocks into the lava below so they could
watch it splash.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
We watched David Letterman throw stuff off the top of
the CBS building and that wasn't even as cool as
a volcano.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Doesn't that sound like something we would have done.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
But I think they put signs up now because you
told that story, you know, a few times on the
radio they said, don't throw giant rocks into the volcano.
Is this the same volcano that is currently blowing lava
out of the top.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Sounds like a challenge to me.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I think we should go. The day of the week
is well.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Let's see, it's Thursday, right, it's a regular Thursday, regular, regular,
regular about it.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network
It's a pretty short list of politicians we get along
with here. It's your favorite morning show, unless we're not
your favorite morning show, and then in that case, you
know we we like all the politicians you hate. Make
a list we like them all. Yeah, no, I really though.
It is a shortlist. Some local guys here in the area,
some people from our home state, and as some of
you might know, we are friends with the I mean
(00:22):
good acquaintances, I guess good acquaintances, buddies whatever, chums with
the governor of Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, you call him Jeff, I believe.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, because we're on first name basis. That's that's how
tight we are.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
People.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Whenever we say we like Governor Landry Well, we'll get
ten emails they are like, yeah, he did a good job.
He cleaned up New Orleans, he got the he got
Louisiana out of their education slump, the economy seems to
be improving, unemployments down.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And then there'll be one guy he's like, I didn't
like this.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's like all right, no, no, we get it. It's
nobody's perfect. We understand, but I will tell you, having
spoken to a lot of politicians over the years on
the phone, in person, at events and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
There are very few people that I.
Speaker 1 (01:06):

I could do that with Chicago. We could do that

So we're making a determination now, do we go to

Chicago or do we go to a place like New Orleans,
where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants
us to come in and straighten out a very nice
section of this country that's become quite you know, quite tough,
quite bad. So we're going to be going to maybe Louisiana,
(02:14):
and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem,

Speaker 1 (02:35):

on that list. As somebody that's traveled around the country

why I've been to all the worst places. Cleveland have
a knock for it, I guess Beaumont. I've been to Beaumont.
(02:57):
No offense Beaumont. But well, you're in Beaumont. You know
you don't need me to tell you. Yeah, there are
places in this country that are not great. Like it
or not, they exist.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
When do you think about what he said the people
of Chicago are with him. Think about how many people
are shot and or killed in Chicago every weekend over
the last three to five years. It's a lot of

(09:03):
We forget this. Sometimes marijuana is a Schedule one narcotic.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yes? It is?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
What else is Schedule one?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Math lsd like some of the most dangerous strokes that
they say.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Pot right and pot?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's like Dan Patrick is not not the sports guy obviously,
although I'm sure he's a douchebag too, the Lieutenant governor
of Texas. Dan Patrick's one of these old Republicans And
he's on the phone all day long with your grandma's
aunts cat Lady trying to figure out why there's a
pot store in her favorite strip mall right next to
the place where she gets her nails done.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
She hates that.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And he has been going around telling everybody you know,
marijuana is causing people to jump in front of trains
and have sex with black men.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Oh no, that's the worst thing ever.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
The train part, Yeah, obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
The black thing's great, obviously, But all that being said, Look,
we were just in Louisiana, where the Republican parties embraced
the marijuana industry, and there haven't really been any consequences.
Someone out there will find a statistic They're like, look,
crime went up in this one place where they legalized pot.
And then I've noticed, just anecdotally here that at the
(10:14):
time that they're saying it happened, crime went up everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, what a surprise.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But all that being said, here in the state of Texas,
I thought it was nine billion dollars. It's a ten
billion dollar industry. I was wrong about that. Roughly eighty
percent of Texans. This is truly an eighty twenty policy
here want it legalized. Yeah, it's ten point three billion,
by the way, And yeah, like, do.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You hate the vets. People with PTSD have a choice.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
They could eat a gummy bear once every week or two,
right and help them fall asleep, or we could put
them on opioids. What would you prefer? Yeah, right, I'm
sorry you hate our military veterans.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Maybe it's not so much to do with the fact
that it's it's a drugs it's going to get kids high.
It's It's also been called for as long as I've
been alive, almost a stare step drug. You know, you
start with marijuana, next thing you know, you're shooting up
with heroin. That's what they'd have you believe. So far,
I'm still not on heroin, right, but I have dabbled
(11:14):
with that, you know, the Devil's lettuce. I don't even
know anyone that's done heroin. I mean maybe I do,
I don't know. I don't know they They probably don't
just go out and tell you that immediately.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Even the founding fathers, guys George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, grew
hemp on their plantations for rope and paper, And I
don't suppose they were using it to help them relax
after a long day of the revolution.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
But you never know, No, what were those Indians putting
in a peace pipe? I mean, when they passed that
peace pipe around, dudes like, yeah, get it back over
here a minute.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I didn't hit it hard enough.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
One of my favorite little chapters of American history, probably
my favorite founding father, wasn't even a founding father for
the United States. He was a founding father for Texas,
Sam Houston Ool Sam. Wasn't there a period there? He
was way ahead of his time, Yes he was. He
was a pro union, he was a pro federalism. He
was anti slavery. Interestingly enough, way before it was fashionable.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Apparently dug Indian chicks pretty much too.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's where I'm going with this. Yeah, there was a
point in his life there where he spent a little time.
He had to get away from the white man, and
he went and lived on a reservation. Don't you wonder
what it would have been like.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I think he enjoyed himself. I mean, more so than
just with the young ladies.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I mean, I gotta know. And then the other My
other favorite story about old Americans is Mark Twain, before
he was famous.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You know that.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You know this story, junkin big old boulders into an
active volcano back.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
In the day before he was a famous writer. He
was a newspaper reporter and they sent Ino Hawaii, and
him and his guide stood on the side of a volcano,
pushing giant rocks into the lava below so they could
watch it splash.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
We watched David Letterman throw stuff off the top of
the CBS building and that wasn't even as cool as
a volcano.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Doesn't that sound like something we would have done.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
But I think they put signs up now because you
told that story, you know, a few times on the
radio they said, don't throw giant rocks into the volcano.
Is this the same volcano that is currently blowing lava
out of the top.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Sounds like a challenge to me.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I think we should go. The day of the week
is well.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Let's see, it's Thursday, right, it's a regular Thursday, regular, regular,
regular about it.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
