Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, I think I had a good idea.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We can celebrate Christmas my wifie style.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
All right, Good morning, Billy, It's the Walton Johnson Radio Show.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's the time of the hour here. Thanks for joining us, kids.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We've been up for hours. You know. I hope you're
you're making your way into a Monday morning as best
as you can. It's it's a tough one, man. These
Mondays don't get easy, do they. Yeah, it's a lot
of bad news today. Unfortunately, we can find good news.
But if we find good news, people will accuse us
of ignoring the problem, if you know what I mean. No,
you guys, you guys are just ignoring. You're part of
(00:33):
the problem. If you don't, you don't start calling out
all these people for all that shooting and stuff. Man,
you're part of the problem. Yeah. I ain't shooting nobody
over the weekended.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
You I did not. No, I ain't good good.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I didn't cause nobody to want to shoot me, as
far as I can tell, boy, I hope. I mean.
I got a couple of, you know, a couple of
stink eye looks from people around the resort. But that's
just that's just because of how I am.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I think it's because you weren't wearing pants in the bar.
I think that I don't want to do with that.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
That was.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That was a misunderstanding. That's all that was. And I'm
I'm just started of talking about it. All right, It's fine.
We're not here to judge you. Did you know that
we know people I didn't know him myself, but we
know people that have worked with Rob Reiner's son.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Really, no, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Not the killer Nick.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He has more than one kid, the alleged killer.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Okay, sure, alleged killer. No, rob Reiner's son, Jake, who's about,
I guess thirty four years old something like that, used
to work at Channel two News in Houston. About that. Wow,
you know, I didn't know him when he worked there,
but I know people that did work with him, and
they're like, I didn't even know it was Rob Reiner's kid,
(01:41):
And it's just just Jake, Jake Ryner to me, We
don't matter's other Riiners out there besides Rob Reiner. But yeah,
Rob Reiner had four kids, one of them with Penny Marshall,
that was his first wife, and she's like, you know,
older than the rest and then three with the new wife.
She's not new, but the second wife sure, the one
that got stab to death with him, Yeah, yesterday by
(02:02):
one of their very own children. That has just got
to hurt. I don't know about how long you live
when you're getting stabbed to death, but you gotta be
thinking my very own son, damn it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It is pretty awful.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Officers were called to the home of Rob Reiner in Brentwood.
It's a place in Los Angeles, apparently a Sunday afternoon,
where they discovered a man and a woman with stab wounds.
The Los Angeles Fire Department says seventy eight year old
man and a sixty eight year old woman were found
dead inside, and it has been confirmed the bodies discovered
were the longtime couple, married in nineteen eighty nine. The
(02:38):
couple's thirty two year old son and screenwriter Nick Reiner,
is a person of interest in the deadly stabbing and
the announcement details how the Reiners say. The family put
out a statement saying, it is with profound sorrow that
we announced the tragic passing of Michelle and Rob, and
went on to say all the other things you'd assume
they'd say in this context. Nick has been open about
(02:59):
his shoes, battling with drug addiction and homelessness in the past.
He told People magazine in twenty sixteen that he was
homeless in Maine, he was homeless in New Jersey, he
was homeless in Texas, spent nights sleeping on the streets.
He said, it was not fun.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
No, that's not a good reason to stab your dad.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Bute, Hi, could I jump in?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, good morning, mister Kenneth, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well you look at me like that.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Well, just you know, it's weird to say good morning
while we're talking about dead. It's not good. It's a
bad morning, if anything.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Not for us personally. One of my friends told me
that they were out in that area because I have
friends out there, and that they saw Billy Crystal came
to the house. I guess because he had gotten a
call and heard, probably before us, what had happened to
his dear friend Rob Reiner. And they said Billy Crystal
was it. And one of the people on the news
(03:54):
reported it and said he looked like he was on
the verge of tears.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, duh, you think I could understand why?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What kind of reporting is that? That's just insane. But
people always want to just you know, inject themselves into
the story somehow.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, that's correct. A neighbor told the Post that Billy
Crystal was spotted arriving at the home.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Larry David was also seen at the.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Home, and it's a very confusing, chaoic press conference took
place as the police were still obtaining a search warrant
for the property six hours after the nine one one
call to fully investigate the murders.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Since they are a celebrity family, I feel like the
onus is on Wall to pretty much lead the coverage
of the story through the following days to come and
making people aware of the Hollywood aspect of Rob Ryder's life. Obviously,
he was a fantastic director, even though you may have
(04:51):
disagreed with him in politics. Did you know that his son,
Nick made a film with dad a few years back.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's the one that was just in trouble not yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The shooter or i mean the stabber alleged stabber at
some point during his time in rehab and afterwards, Nick,
the son, co wrote a semi autographical film and he
got his dad to direct it for him.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I mean autobiographical is over.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It was semi autobiographic. Okay, it's kind of like it's
about me, but it's not entirely about me some of it. So,
but it was based on his seventeen separate visits to rehab. Wow,
seventeen visits to rehab and his dad directed the movie
that was about ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So it's not I don't know, I feel like that's
not a movie i'd want to watch. Seventeen visits to
rehab and you're still in junkie.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Isn't that awful?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah? It's terrible goodness. Yeah, really sad stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
So anyway, I feel like this may be an occham's
Razor news story. They had of kid who was a
junkie and he came home and lost it, and I guess,
get mental health evaluations, get your addictions under little.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I think they had him pretty well evaluated, and it
didn't do no good. It was not a stabbing free
zone that they had put together in their home.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, they should have well butt a sign up next time.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
People.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yes, terrible, terrible stuff, all right. So with all that
taking place, the sophomore identified at the Brown University shooting,
Ella Cook, was the vice president of a Republican club
on campus, and that could be a pretty good indication
of what the motivation was of the shooter.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Since he walked into a classroom where she was and
shot her first thing off. Kind of looks like that
might have been the reason.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
By the way, I will point out Rob Reiner was
a vocal critic of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Defended
Erica Kirk. I'm just saying, you know, and we may
not have agreed with his politics, but I do think
he had a good response to what was one of
the most.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Poetically violent news stories of the past year.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, and if we were them, like you guys said earlier,
you might be tempted to celebrate because Rob Reiner was
clearly a leftist liberal and the highest sense of the
world word. But that's not our way, is it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
When Charlie Kirk was murdered, Rob Reiner said, I don't
care what your beliefs, Sorrey, this is not a solution
to solving problems. He also praised Erica Kirk for publicly
forgiving the suspected shooter, invoking the teachings of Jesus and
highlighting the powers of forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Do you think it's easier for her to forgive the
suspected shooter of her husband because she might believe that
he wasn't really the one to blame. You know, it
gets pretty deep in that whole thing about was he
really the shooter or did somebody put him up to it?
If he was the shooter, or was there another shooter.
There's a lot of complicated stories that you know, people
(08:01):
want to just make up, as I believe, they call
them conspiracy theories. Have you all had, dad?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't think she believes that.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No, it sounds like she believes the police and the investigation.
She's asked people that have been making that point to
stop doing it, particularly Candace Owens.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now she is expected to have a faced face with
candas o in at sometime today. Wow, Yeah, that should
be interesting. I don't think it'll be covered live, but
perhaps there will be an understanding reach between those two
at some point. And now candas Owan can still report
on other news and make perfect sense, she just doesn't
(08:37):
seem to be able to talk about the Charlie Kirk
assassination and keep a level head while she does it.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, I mean that will be a very interesting thing
to watch in the meantime. Look, my position on the
Charlie Kirk assassination is still Ockham's razor.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You had a dad who handed in his own son.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
The blood was found on the murder weapon, the DNA
of the aspect was found down the weapon. Father turns
in his own son for confessing to the killings. I
don't think it was Israel. I'm just saying right here.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What day is?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It's Monday morning? What Monday morning?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Monday morning? So that going here, Hey, he was ready
for a great first day, getting ready for the big day,
get ready for a great week.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Every day is a great det for mine.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I'm a person who oves his positivity.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You're listening to the Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Schreiky, Oh no, no, don't do that, Mary creaminess.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Everybody, I have to say all the way to put
a smile on.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Mine and quite a few other faces this morning with
that little little number, even though it's a pretty sour,
sad morning so far. But we must, uh, we must
soldier on week.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, it's been a lot of bad news so far
this morning. But don't worry, folks, wats more bad news
to come?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I got good news.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You know, it's not like I'm here to do the
sports or nothing. Because our sports director is snoring at
the moment in the ground floor.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And that's fine, that's just business. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
He can come whenever he wants. John Cena holds your
booze till the end. Has wrestled in his final match
this past weekend, lost to Gunther. If you keep up
with the wrestling world, okay, all right, and the fans
there's seen us still has some fans, believe it or not,
even though the way he you know, lifted his skirt
for China, but it is a tradition in wrestling to
(10:32):
lose on your way out. It's almost like they plan
it ahead of time. Who's gonna win and lose and
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That doesn't sound right.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
But seeing us out, so now he can just go
be the Chinese loving pitch man that he's used to being.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That'll give him more time to focus on defending communism.
His career didn't seem like it's going that well lately,
didn't he has some game show or.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, things haven't been looking up for him since he
turned red.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well, Hopefully there'll be more job opportunities for him soon,
because Donald Trump is making some bold predictions about the
United States economy, a.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Country that potentially is geared to have the most incredible
golden years ever we're going to have.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It's the Golden age.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I say it's the golden age of America when these
factories and plants open up by the thousands. Toyota just
announced they're going to spend ten billion dollars building plants
to make Toyotas.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
So they're coming.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
From Germany, they're coming from Japan, they're coming from Canada.
Many factories are coming in because they don't have they
don't want to pay tariffs, very simple. They're coming in
and they're spending a tremendous they're spending hundreds of billions
of dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Our car industry.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Lost fifty eight percent of their capacity over the years.
They went to Europe, they went to Mexico, Japan, they
went all of them.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They went to South South Korea.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
All right, Apparently Valero is going to lose a billion
dollars to get out of California.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Do you say a bill billion?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, Valero. Yeah, And they still want.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
To leave Valero it's being called the billion dollar exit.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's how bad things have gotten in California.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
California's energy sector is reeling from Valero Energy Corporation's decision
to shudder it's Benicia Refinery.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I guess that's the name of the town.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They made the big announcement, and they're gonna be gone
by April of twenty twenty six, a move that underscores
the mountain toll of stringent state regulations on the industry's viability.
Apparently they're moving most of their operation to Texas.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh is that right Texas? You say, well, there's a
new move. Yeah, maybe some other Californias will start following that.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I know, think it's remarkable that they're moving to Texas.
I mean, they already have an operation in Texas, to
be clear, but clearly. But what's so remarkable about this
is that they were in California in the first place. Right,
he said, Yeah, it's just too expensive. There's too many rules,
there's too much to prevent us from partition cipating in
what we call capitalism here in California.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
They call it that. So we're gonna get out of
the state.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Well, good for them, I mean it's not bad news
for us, but you know, more jobs for people on
the Gulf of America.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And Hanakah started last night, by the way, I know.
The shooting in Australia was, you know, about a Honka celebration,
and god knows, we appear have no idea what time
or even what day it is in Australia most of
the time. I'm not sure if as that what was it?
Smokey who called it chanooka, because that's the.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Way Smoking Robinson said, it's chinooka.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
So we go by Chanooka a lot. But the Hanukah
celebrations officially started here, you know, in our time zones
last night, so you know, first night a Honkkah in
all and that'll go through Monday next week.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, the attack on the Honukah celebration was really sad,
but you could tell some Americans don't care as much
as others do. Chuck Schumer was about to give a
big announcement about the Australian mass shooting and comment on
what happened at Brown University.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
But first, and of course I'm gonna say a few
words about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia, Okay, so
when first, of course, as I always say, no matter what,
go Bills, they beat the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
City Really he needed.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
To put that in all right, real quick, we had
a children murdered, college kids, and a bunch of Jews
were slaughtered. Rob Reiner's dead. But hey, real quick, go
let's here for the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, go Bills, guys. But it is kind of a
celebrity news related because I think the Buffalo Bills quarterback
is he married to Hailey Steinfeld and they just recently
announced they're expecting their first child. Yay, go Bills.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Uh yeah, go Bills, Go away, shoomer, how about that one?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Go away, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You know this probably won't surprise anyone, but the Senator,
uh etiquette, Chris Murphy is blaming Donald Trump for the
mass shooting at Brown University. We know almost nothing about
what happen.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Then he's still blaming.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
We haven't had.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
The wherewithal to do anything in Washington.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I'm sorry I should explain.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
He's on CNN right now with who he was yesterday
with what's your name, Dana whatever, the blonde, the blonde lady, and.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That was what stronger than other places in Rhode Island. Well,
but the laws do make a difference.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I mean, if you look at states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
California that have stronger laws, we have gun violence rates,
murder rates, mass shooting rates that are two to three
to four times lower than states that have loose gun laws.
And many of the weapons that are used in our
states for gun crimes come to our states from those
states that have an ability for criminals and people with
(15:41):
serious mental illness to buy weapons. So what we know
is that stronger laws do work. And since we passed
that bill in time.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm gonna have to correct him on that. That infuriates me.
It did not work. He's comparing the homicide rate in
Connecticut to Texas. Yeah, there's a little bit that changes
in Connecticut versus Texas. At the biggest border state in
America where human trafficking and drug trafficking is happening all
the time. Not to mention, I think Connecticut's primary average
(16:10):
citizen there is like a doctor that works in Manhattan
and commutes in from Connecticut. Right, don't really mean how
about compare I don't know, University of Texas to Brown University.
Why don't you compare A and M to Brown. Compare
a university in a state where we allow campus carry
to a university in a state where we don't, and
you're gonna suddenly notice, Wow, that's all the mass shootings
(16:31):
are happening in the states where the universities are gun
free zones.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
They just they cake get by the fact that Trump
derangement syndrome controls their every thought and decision in their life.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Yeah, twenty twenty two, the first bill in thirty years
that strengthens the nation's gun laws. Gun violence rates and
machine rates have come down in this country.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
But this is not.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Shocking because over the last year President Trump has been
engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here and how is he doing that exactly? How is
did Trump tell people go to universities and shoot kids,
shoot the vice president of the Republican Student Club at
the Brown University? Is that something Trump said to do?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
We do know for a fact that a lot of
those college professors and you know, the people that are
in charge a lot of those schools back during this
past summer, this past year, have encouraged their students to
do the things that they've been doing all year long.
Some of it was deadly, but a lot of it
(17:31):
was violence encouraged by the higher ups and colleges, especially
up in that Northeast area. But this time that's just
Trump's fault. Yeah, Trump, Who do you think has more
violent rhetoric? The President of the United States or the
average tenured activist professor at expensive, bougie liberal arts college,
the former president of Harvard, among many other of the
(17:54):
Ivy League schools that.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Have recently Monday, everybody now back to Walton N.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Johnson
All right, I think I had a good idea.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We can celebrate Christmas my wifie style.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
All right, Good morning, Billy, It's the Walton Johnson Radio Show.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's the time of the hour here. Thanks for joining us, kids.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We've been up for hours. You know. I hope you're
you're making your way into a Monday morning as best
as you can. It's it's a tough one, man. These
Mondays don't get easy, do they. Yeah, it's a lot
of bad news today. Unfortunately, we can find good news.
But if we find good news, people will accuse us
of ignoring the problem, if you know what I mean. No,
you guys, you guys are just ignoring. You're part of
(00:33):
the problem. If you don't, you don't start calling out
all these people for all that shooting and stuff. Man,
you're part of the problem. Yeah. I ain't shooting nobody
over the weekended.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
You I did not. No, I ain't good good.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I didn't cause nobody to want to shoot me, as
far as I can tell, boy, I hope. I mean.
I got a couple of, you know, a couple of
stink eye looks from people around the resort. But that's
just that's just because of how I am.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I think it's because you weren't wearing pants in the bar.
I think that I don't want to do with that.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
That was.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That was a misunderstanding. That's all that was. And I'm
I'm just started of talking about it. All right, It's fine.
We're not here to judge you. Did you know that
we know people I didn't know him myself, but we
know people that have worked with Rob Reiner's son.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Really, no, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Not the killer Nick.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He has more than one kid, the alleged killer.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Okay, sure, alleged killer. No, rob Reiner's son, Jake, who's about,
I guess thirty four years old something like that, used
to work at Channel two News in Houston. About that. Wow,
you know, I didn't know him when he worked there,
but I know people that did work with him, and
they're like, I didn't even know it was Rob Reiner's kid,
(01:41):
And it's just just Jake, Jake Ryner to me, We
don't matter's other Riiners out there besides Rob Reiner. But yeah,
Rob Reiner had four kids, one of them with Penny Marshall,
that was his first wife, and she's like, you know,
older than the rest and then three with the new wife.
She's not new, but the second wife sure, the one
that got stab to death with him, Yeah, yesterday by
(02:02):
one of their very own children. That has just got
to hurt. I don't know about how long you live
when you're getting stabbed to death, but you gotta be

Yeah, that's correct. A neighbor told the Post that Billy
Crystal was spotted arriving at the home.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Larry David was also seen at the.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Home, and it's a very confusing, chaoic press conference took
place as the police were still obtaining a search warrant
for the property six hours after the nine one one
call to fully investigate the murders.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Since they are a celebrity family, I feel like the
onus is on Wall to pretty much lead the coverage
of the story through the following days to come and
making people aware of the Hollywood aspect of Rob Ryder's life. Obviously,
he was a fantastic director, even though you may have
(04:51):
disagreed with him in politics. Did you know that his son,
Nick made a film with dad a few years back.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's the one that was just in trouble not yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The shooter or i mean the stabber alleged stabber at
some point during his time in rehab and afterwards, Nick,
the son, co wrote a semi autographical film and he
got his dad to direct it for him.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I mean autobiographical is over.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It was semi autobiographic. Okay, it's kind of like it's
about me, but it's not entirely about me some of it. So,
but it was based on his seventeen separate visits to rehab. Wow,
seventeen visits to rehab and his dad directed the movie
that was about ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So it's not I don't know, I feel like that's
not a movie i'd want to watch. Seventeen visits to
rehab and you're still in junkie.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Isn't that awful?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah? It's terrible goodness. Yeah, really sad stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
So anyway, I feel like this may be an occham's
Razor news story. They had of kid who was a
junkie and he came home and lost it, and I guess,
get mental health evaluations, get your addictions under little.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I think they had him pretty well evaluated, and it
didn't do no good. It was not a stabbing free
zone that they had put together in their home.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, they should have well butt a sign up next time.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
People.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yes, terrible, terrible stuff, all right. So with all that
taking place, the sophomore identified at the Brown University shooting,
Ella Cook, was the vice president of a Republican club
on campus, and that could be a pretty good indication
of what the motivation was of the shooter.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Since he walked into a classroom where she was and
shot her first thing off. Kind of looks like that
might have been the reason.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
By the way, I will point out Rob Reiner was
a vocal critic of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Defended
Erica Kirk. I'm just saying, you know, and we may
not have agreed with his politics, but I do think
he had a good response to what was one of
the most.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Poetically violent news stories of the past year.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, and if we were them, like you guys said earlier,
you might be tempted to celebrate because Rob Reiner was
clearly a leftist liberal and the highest sense of the
world word. But that's not our way, is it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
When Charlie Kirk was murdered, Rob Reiner said, I don't
care what your beliefs, Sorrey, this is not a solution
to solving problems. He also praised Erica Kirk for publicly
forgiving the suspected shooter, invoking the teachings of Jesus and
highlighting the powers of forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Do you think it's easier for her to forgive the
suspected shooter of her husband because she might believe that
he wasn't really the one to blame. You know, it
gets pretty deep in that whole thing about was he
really the shooter or did somebody put him up to it?
If he was the shooter, or was there another shooter.
There's a lot of complicated stories that you know, people
(08:01):
want to just make up, as I believe, they call
them conspiracy theories. Have you all had, dad?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't think she believes that.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
No, it sounds like she believes the police and the investigation.
She's asked people that have been making that point to
stop doing it, particularly Candace Owens.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now she is expected to have a faced face with
candas o in at sometime today. Wow, Yeah, that should
be interesting. I don't think it'll be covered live, but
perhaps there will be an understanding reach between those two
at some point. And now candas Owan can still report
on other news and make perfect sense, she just doesn't
(08:37):
seem to be able to talk about the Charlie Kirk
assassination and keep a level head while she does it.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, I mean that will be a very interesting thing
to watch in the meantime. Look, my position on the
Charlie Kirk assassination is still Ockham's razor.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You had a dad who handed in his own son.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
The blood was found on the murder weapon, the DNA
of the aspect was found down the weapon. Father turns
in his own son for confessing to the killings. I
don't think it was Israel. I'm just saying right here.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What day is?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It's Monday morning? What Monday morning?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Monday morning? So that going here, Hey, he was ready
for a great first day, getting ready for the big day,
get ready for a great week.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Every day is a great det for mine.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I'm a person who oves his positivity.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You're listening to the Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Schreiky, Oh no, no, don't do that, Mary creaminess.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Everybody, I have to say all the way to put
a smile on.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Mine and quite a few other faces this morning with
that little little number, even though it's a pretty sour,
sad morning so far. But we must, uh, we must
soldier on week.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, it's been a lot of bad news so far
this morning. But don't worry, folks, wats more bad news
to come?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I got good news.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You know, it's not like I'm here to do the
sports or nothing. Because our sports director is snoring at
the moment in the ground floor.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And that's fine, that's just business. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
He can come whenever he wants. John Cena holds your
booze till the end. Has wrestled in his final match
this past weekend, lost to Gunther. If you keep up
with the wrestling world, okay, all right, and the fans
there's seen us still has some fans, believe it or not,
even though the way he you know, lifted his skirt
for China, but it is a tradition in wrestling to
(10:32):
lose on your way out. It's almost like they plan
it ahead of time. Who's gonna win and lose and
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That doesn't sound right.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
But seeing us out, so now he can just go
be the Chinese loving pitch man that he's used to being.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That'll give him more time to focus on defending communism.
His career didn't seem like it's going that well lately,
didn't he has some game show or.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, things haven't been looking up for him since he
turned red.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well, Hopefully there'll be more job opportunities for him soon,
because Donald Trump is making some bold predictions about the
United States economy, a.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Country that potentially is geared to have the most incredible
golden years ever we're going to have.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It's the Golden age.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I say it's the golden age of America when these
factories and plants open up by the thousands. Toyota just
announced they're going to spend ten billion dollars building plants
to make Toyotas.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
So they're coming.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
From Germany, they're coming from Japan, they're coming from Canada.
Many factories are coming in because they don't have they
don't want to pay tariffs, very simple. They're coming in
and they're spending a tremendous they're spending hundreds of billions
of dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Our car industry.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Lost fifty eight percent of their capacity over the years.
They went to Europe, they went to Mexico, Japan, they
went all of them.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They went to South South Korea.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
All right, Apparently Valero is going to lose a billion
dollars to get out of California.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Do you say a bill billion?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, Valero. Yeah, And they still want.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
To leave Valero it's being called the billion dollar exit.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's how bad things have gotten in California.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
California's energy sector is reeling from Valero Energy Corporation's decision
to shudder it's Benicia Refinery.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I guess that's the name of the town.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They made the big announcement, and they're gonna be gone
by April of twenty twenty six, a move that underscores
the mountain toll of stringent state regulations on the industry's viability.
Apparently they're moving most of their operation to Texas.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh is that right Texas? You say, well, there's a
new move. Yeah, maybe some other Californias will start following that.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I know, think it's remarkable that they're moving to Texas.
I mean, they already have an operation in Texas, to
be clear, but clearly. But what's so remarkable about this
is that they were in California in the first place. Right,
he said, Yeah, it's just too expensive. There's too many rules,
there's too much to prevent us from partition cipating in
what we call capitalism here in California.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
They call it that. So we're gonna get out of
the state.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Well, good for them, I mean it's not bad news
for us, but you know, more jobs for people on
the Gulf of America.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And Hanakah started last night, by the way, I know.
The shooting in Australia was, you know, about a Honka celebration,
and god knows, we appear have no idea what time
or even what day it is in Australia most of
the time. I'm not sure if as that what was it?
Smokey who called it chanooka, because that's the.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Way Smoking Robinson said, it's chinooka.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
So we go by Chanooka a lot. But the Hanukah
celebrations officially started here, you know, in our time zones
last night, so you know, first night a Honkkah in
all and that'll go through Monday next week.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, the attack on the Honukah celebration was really sad,
but you could tell some Americans don't care as much
as others do. Chuck Schumer was about to give a
big announcement about the Australian mass shooting and comment on
what happened at Brown University.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
But first, and of course I'm gonna say a few
words about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia, Okay, so
when first, of course, as I always say, no matter what,
go Bills, they beat the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
City Really he needed.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
To put that in all right, real quick, we had
a children murdered, college kids, and a bunch of Jews
were slaughtered. Rob Reiner's dead. But hey, real quick, go
let's here for the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, go Bills, guys. But it is kind of a
celebrity news related because I think the Buffalo Bills quarterback
is he married to Hailey Steinfeld and they just recently
announced they're expecting their first child. Yay, go Bills.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Uh yeah, go Bills, Go away, shoomer, how about that one?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Go away, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You know this probably won't surprise anyone, but the Senator,
uh etiquette, Chris Murphy is blaming Donald Trump for the
mass shooting at Brown University. We know almost nothing about
what happen.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Then he's still blaming.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
We haven't had.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
The wherewithal to do anything in Washington.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I'm sorry I should explain.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
He's on CNN right now with who he was yesterday
with what's your name, Dana whatever, the blonde, the blonde lady, and.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That was what stronger than other places in Rhode Island. Well,
but the laws do make a difference.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I mean, if you look at states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
California that have stronger laws, we have gun violence rates,
murder rates, mass shooting rates that are two to three
to four times lower than states that have loose gun laws.
And many of the weapons that are used in our
states for gun crimes come to our states from those
states that have an ability for criminals and people with
(15:41):
serious mental illness to buy weapons. So what we know
is that stronger laws do work. And since we passed
that bill in time.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm gonna have to correct him on that. That infuriates me.
It did not work. He's comparing the homicide rate in
Connecticut to Texas. Yeah, there's a little bit that changes
in Connecticut versus Texas. At the biggest border state in
America where human trafficking and drug trafficking is happening all
the time. Not to mention, I think Connecticut's primary average
(16:10):
citizen there is like a doctor that works in Manhattan
and commutes in from Connecticut. Right, don't really mean how
about compare I don't know, University of Texas to Brown University.
Why don't you compare A and M to Brown. Compare
a university in a state where we allow campus carry
to a university in a state where we don't, and
you're gonna suddenly notice, Wow, that's all the mass shootings
(16:31):
are happening in the states where the universities are gun
free zones.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
They just they cake get by the fact that Trump
derangement syndrome controls their every thought and decision in their life.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Yeah, twenty twenty two, the first bill in thirty years
that strengthens the nation's gun laws. Gun violence rates and
machine rates have come down in this country.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
But this is not.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Shocking because over the last year President Trump has been
engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here and how is he doing that exactly? How is
did Trump tell people go to universities and shoot kids,
shoot the vice president of the Republican Student Club at
the Brown University? Is that something Trump said to do?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
We do know for a fact that a lot of
those college professors and you know, the people that are
in charge a lot of those schools back during this
past summer, this past year, have encouraged their students to
do the things that they've been doing all year long.
Some of it was deadly, but a lot of it
(17:31):
was violence encouraged by the higher ups and colleges, especially
up in that Northeast area. But this time that's just
Trump's fault. Yeah, Trump, Who do you think has more
violent rhetoric? The President of the United States or the
average tenured activist professor at expensive, bougie liberal arts college,
the former president of Harvard, among many other of the
(17:54):
Ivy League schools that.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Have recently Monday, everybody now back to Walton N.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
