Why The Government is Shutting Down Again - MON 6.1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Early in the morning. But I was just perusing the
humorous website called a Babylon Beat, and one of the
headlines sub headlines, not even the big one. Maybe it
came out a couple of days ago and I missed it.
Certainly worth reviewing. Pregnant women start downing Thailand all in

(00:21):
hopes that their son may one day start an electric
car company and become a billionaire. Yeah, I just want
just enough so that maybe you know, he'll be the
next Elon Musk people.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm pretty mad about the tailand hall thing. I called
my mom last week and I asked her if she
ever took Thailand all while she was pregnant with me,
and she said just once in a while when she
was hungover. Yeah, so not that often. It's not that bad. Yeah, exactly.
It's not a real big deal.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
You're fine. Everybody's fine. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
You remember when they were making fun of us for
taking ivermectin, and now they're overdosing on.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Thailand all in intentionally taking thought at all while pregnant
now because they are just eating up with the trumpe
derangement syndrome. All right, what do you think's worse?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
For the baby the Thailand all while you're pregnant or incest.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
The British would say, I don't know, Thailand, all lets
wait and see how things turn out, you know, give
it a generation or two.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Long time ago, on the peninsula of Korea, an experiment
was started and he said, all right, one half of
this country is going to become communist and the other
half is going to become a sort of a representative
republic similar not exactly like, but very similar to the
United States or Western countries, capitalists in nature, and let's

(01:41):
see what happens. And fifty years later, the North Korean
side of the peninsula was clearly in trouble that people
were six inches shorter. They were they had famine and
poverty and no new technology, basically dark all the time,
no lights or electricity. And the other half of the
island has k pop and professional entertainment and plastic surgery

(02:04):
and all kinds of food and medicine and everything you'd
really want in an advanced society.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
So you're saying it's like fifty to fifty, yeah, I mean,
you know k pop right, well, k pop right, sure,
or it could be six inches shorter and starving well,
we're a tough call.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Not sure we're about to get a similar We're gonna
have a similar experiment here in the United States soon.
Eric Adams has dropped out of the New York City
mayoral race, and Zorhan mom Donnie the Communist, the Marxist
if you will may oral candidate has an eighty two
percent chance of winning, which means pretty soon we're gonna
be able to see which system works better, the communism

(02:44):
of New.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
York City or or K pop and the rest of
the country. Boy, still too close to call. If you
wanted to go to New York City for some reason,
you know, just for a weekend or something, get it
out of your system, now, I'd say now would be
the time. Go ahead and go ahead, and good luck

(03:05):
that in although I could do without it. It's been
a long time since I've been in New York obviously
since before the pandemic, and I don't really feel the
need to go back.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, you don't think Curtis Saliwa or Andrew Cuomo is a.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Chancet's don't give up on our savior Cuomo. You know,
it ran him out of there, and now they're like,
oh my god, if only he could win.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It is bad when the disgraced governor is your best
chance now, because you know it's not going to be
Curtis Sliwa. Look, he seems like a great guy. He's
all for law and order. He's a very reasonable person.
And he's been running for mayor of New York City
now for what forty years?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Back and forth a little bit. Has he ever even
broken double digits? I doubt it.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Nobody wanted him to be mayor, right, Look, I think
he'd be a better mayor than any of the other options.
That's exactly why he's not going to win, you would
think so. So pretty soon we're going to get to
see ourselves which what works better, a free capital society
or government operated grocery stores.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's a real thing. They're gonna do that, They're gonna have.
Oh yeah, I mean everything you thought was wrong with
communism is going to be on full display in New
York City soon.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
When you walk into a post office, don't you just
wish your local Rouses or Peggy Wiggly or Randalls was
operated with the same amount of efficiency as that post office?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh yeah, that great government operated systems.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I just want my doctor's office to be more like
the DMV. You know when you go see a dermatologist
or a cardiologist. Wow, if only the DMV could run
this place, that'd be great. Well, that's gonna happen soon.
By the way, they know it won't work. Oh yeah,
they know, they know. Of course, they're not stupid. That
has nothing to do with it. It has nothing to

(04:47):
do with what they think will work. They are well
aware of the fact they're replacing a system that works
with something that just sounds good but doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
They don't care it might work for or ten percent
of the public. Maybe I'm not sure what those ten
percent are doing. That's just awful right now. But they
may be the only ones that this is going to
help in any way.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
All Right, if you're in the worst neighborhood in the
in the city, in a place where they already don't
have a grocery store, in a place where but maybe
in that one place, the government operated grocery store would
be better than just eating at a gas station all
the time. But I got to think you're gonna go
in there and you'll just see shelves full of stuff
that have been shoplifted and there's nothing in there but graffiti,

(05:31):
and there's like a baby walking around with a handgun,
and where's that baby? Where's your mom? It's like, ah,
I shot her? You know, this is this is just
how it is in this neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Are y'all doing make belief stuff? Sort of? You're just
a predicting the future kind of Yeah? Yeah. You ever
see that meme with that? Maybe they's got a pistols
stuck down in his diaper and he's a he's on
the cell phone, and people they said, how irresponsible are
these parents to let the child have a cell phone

(06:05):
at his age?

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Actually, I've never seen the meme before. It's I locked
it and now that you described it, I just googled it.
Baby playing with phone, keeping gun holstered in diaper. That's
the name of the emis. That is a good meme.
Wonder what it's looking at on that phone?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah? Good question. Hey what have you been looking at
on yours? How do you feel about another government shutdown? Billy?
Are you okay with it? Oh? You know, win had
one lately? Have we been a while?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Small business owners and self employed people and early retirees
are among the twenty four million people they claim who
could be losing a healthcare soon. Says oh, I should
point out Obama says this, Oh that. Yeah, I'm there
concerned now that this government shutdown is going to effect
what is it, the Obamacare credit? Or Congress could shut

(06:54):
down the government over the Obamacare mandate. That's back again,
retireless nice. It was just always so popular before. I
know what you guys are thinking, another government shutdown? How
often is this going to happen all the time? Constantly?
Remember when we said we can't keep spending money like
it's water. That's why these government shutdowns keep happening.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
The budget crisis is because we're spending money we don't have.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
So if you want to run off to New York City,
hurry get it done now. If you had planned a
little vacation before the snow falls and some of our
nation great national parks, maybe get it now, because you
know they'll string a chain up over the entrance and
tell you you can't come in, drive around and look
at nature unless the government is up and running. Yay.

(07:40):
Why do we need the government up and running to
drive through a national park? All right?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I guess what statue of liberty? Statue of Liberty for sure.
If you've ever wanted to see it, you've got cause
that's a national park in the City of New York technically,
isn't it. Isn't that what that is?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
If it's a park, you yeah, but it's you know,
it's not Alice Island.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
What's the name of that island? Freedom Island or Liberty Island,
Liberty Island, Liberty Island. Probably yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
So if you don't, if you've never seen it before,
just know that pretty soon it's gonna have a Burca
on it.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
So you're gonna want to go see it. Just throw
a big, a big tarp over her and then just
cut out a couple little eyehole slots and you're good
to go. Everythink about that.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
When Muslims come to New York City, do they look
at that thing and it's pornography?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
To them?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Probably they're like, I could see its wrists, you horror,
I could see the whites of your eyes. Hooker, cover
it up, you know it's a statue, yeah, yeah, but
to them that's obscene. Well, you know, leave it to
the French. No, don't leave it to the French. Well,
they gave us the statue, I know once upon a time. Yeah,
that's back when France was a little different. Should we

(08:52):
give it back? I mean, you know, it seems only fair.
They gave us. What did they give us?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Crapes? I guess snails, snails, frog, frog legs, which I
don't mind. I do like a frog leg pretty good.
They always say it tastes like chicken. Everything tastes like
chicken except for chicken. Yeah, what that tastes like? Yeah?
I have no idea. What it tastes like, like rattlesnake probably.
Oh by the way, for those of you who didn't
stay up late enough to watch the exciting prime time

(09:21):
thriller of Sunday Night Football, be be happy you didn't.
It ended in a tie? Ah man, that start a
civil war in this country. That's just awful, isn't it?
A tie? Well? Three plus hours into your night? Cowboys
and Packers forty apiece? No defense really to speak of,

(09:42):
just you know, scoring, a lot of scoring. How often
does a tie happen in the NF? Not very you know.
I mean they do have sudden death or overtime, whatever
you want to call it. But if they don't get
it done in overtime, it's a tie. In the regular season,
of course, heang, And I feel like there's gotta be
a way around that. Take the fastest guy on both teams,
have him run a lap around the field or something.

(10:04):
I feel like there's got to be a way to
wrap this up. Something.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Nobody's satisfied with a tie, even if you wouldn't you
rather see your team lose than get a tie. Yeah,
that's so sad, that's so European. That's like what happens
at a soccer game.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, don't even get me stark. Yeah, what day is it?
It's Monday morning? What Monday morning? Monday morning? Going here? Heay?
He was ready for a great first day, getting ready
for the big day, get ready for a great week.
Every day's a great day for me.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I'm a person who who's his positivity.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
You're listening to the Waltman Johnson Radio Network, Jim Crow
and what have He was a little more complicated. I
think obviously your sounds complicated. Probably ought not to bog
down on a Monday morning and something like that. Let's
just enjoy our coffee. What do you say? Yeah, I'm
trying to I do like coffee. It's National Coffee Day.
If you hadn't heard yet. So, you know, coffee let

(10:52):
me hang on, isn't it kind of always coffee day?
That's like National go to the bathroom Day? Yeah, National
drink water Dawn really need that? I was gonna do
that anyway.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
How about how about National Celebrate Why Chromosome Day? Which one, Well,
there's a lot of estrogen in our water and it
doesn't the water supply doesn't filter that out. Apparently men
are becoming less common nowadays. Billy billy men are less common. Yeah,
there's not as many to be manly men or just
men in general. You know, I don't really quite know

(11:23):
the exact answer to that.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Those men were always a little underrepresented in the population.
From what we used. There's there's more women on the
planet than there are men.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, well, anyway we're gonna do about that. Hey, we
told everybody we were gonna explain why James Comy is
in trouble when we got back, and we're gonna do
that right.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
In trouble really though, because you know, nothing ever happens
to these people. You hear, oh, dighted this guy, they
charge this guy, we do, and then you know, time
passes and nothing seems to happen. That's a fair point.
I'll add this to that.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I think the only way we're ever gonna solve our
problems in this country is when we start sending government
officials and politicians to prison.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Now, James Comy was indicted last week for lying to
Congress or allegedly lying and obstructing a Congressional inquiry during
his twenty twenty testimony about the Trump Russia probe.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Russia Gate was a lie. It was a hoax.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
They were never able to prove that there was anything
going on there. But there were plenty of government officials
that wanted to come out and push that lie. And
one of the biggest people to push it, one of
the biggest liars was James Comy, who lied in front
of Congress under oath. Yeah, is that a problem? Yeah,
it's illegal to do that. I mean, he's not that it's.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Illegal for US regular people to do that, but it
is illegal for James Comy to do it.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yes, because he's not. Only lawmakers can lie on the
House of Congress.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
And I know that's crazy, but that's the laws that
the lawmakers made. The law doesn't apply to them.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
They can lie, right if you're a senator or a congressman.
You can lie on the Florida the House or the
Floria the Senate. But when James Comey's giving testimony, technically
he is not really supposed to. This all goes back
to September twenty ninth, twenty twenty, a Senate Judiciary Committee
meeting about five years ago, during an investigation into the
FBI's probe but potential links between Trump in twenty sixteen

(13:15):
and Russia often referred to as crossfire hurricane Oh yeah,
which is a fun name but didn't really mean anything, don't.
In his testimony, James Coney stated he did not authorize
anyone at the FBI to serve as an anonymous source
for media reports on investigations involving Trump or Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Turns out that's not true.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
There is evidence that Comy directed Columbia Law School professor
Daniel Richman, who was one of his personal friends and
his informal advisors, to share details of Comey's memos about
his interactions with President Trump, and in those memos, Kelmy
later shared them with the Special Council formed the basis
for the Mueller investigation, and even included notes on Trump's
alleged request to drop the probe into former National Security

(13:57):
advisor Michael Flynn, who did nothing wrong. Pretty much the
whole thing ruined that poor guy's life. Now, I ask you,
do you think James call Me deserves to go to
prison for hell yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Hell yeah, But he probably won't. Well, I have no
faith in the system until they start actually doing something
that somebody deserves. I don't know. I'd like to see
it happen.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I will too, So anyway, I cross your fingers on
this one, hopefully they do. We've also looking this morning
at the end of the mass shooting at that Mormon church. Billy,
I do you consider Mormons to be Christians?

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I do.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Sure, I put an asterix next to their name, you know,
like Sammy Sosa, but it's still Christians. Yeah, they just
have some extra stuff there there.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
As far as Catholics go, though, you believe Catholics are
right here at the top, and then everybody else is
way down the list, tippy top.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, it goes like this, It goes Catholics, Lutheran's, everybody else, Mormons, Methodists.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
That's that's the hierarchy of Christians. There you go. So,
in case you didn't know, and you're one of those, well,
then now you know where you sit. That's right.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
If you're a Methodist, just go ahead go drink cap
Chino in your book bar or whatever.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
The adults are discussing things. But it wasn't the only
mass shooting. Apparently some guy drove his boat up to
the dock in North Carolina and started popping people from
the boat. And they said this was obviously targeted to
that location. I don't know if it was targeted towards
that specific person or people that he shot. Huh, But

(15:23):
that's just it ain't no way to act. That is
no way to act. It isn't.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
It does seem like there's a war going on on Christians,
and it's not just nationally.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Well, according to this here, they said that leftist terrorism
has hit a thirty year Hi. Not that all of
these are necessary lefties, but it sure does seem like
most of them are.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
People on the left love to tell you how many
Muslims have died in Palestine, and you know, it's alarming,
it's a lot of people, but it's nothing compared to
how many Christians have been murdered in Nigeria.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
No, no, nothing close, not even close. No, let see.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Islamis militants killed over seven thousand Nigerian Christians in twenty
twenty five so far. Every day, in average of thirty
five Christians are killed in Nigeria. And I've noticed there's
nobody in America that really cares about that the way
they care about Palestine.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Oh, you know, well they have got that. They got
those cute little sayings, you know, from the river to
the sea. People love to just say stuff. You know,
they don't know what it means. It's just fun to
chant chanting.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Three hundred thousand Christian Nigerians have been murdered by Islamic extremists.
Palestinian death toll is sixty four thousand real quick Billy
had fast math which numbers high? Are three hundred thousand
or sixty four thousand.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Undred and sixty four? Yeah, the three hundred that's correct.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Nic. Yeah, so more Christians are getting killed, but we
don't care about that. I mean, I care. I'd like
to see that stop. You know, there's maybe Americans should
get a little more involved in that, or don't get
involved in Palestine anymore, one or the other, take your pick.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Do you ever take a look at them hurricanes and
tropical storms over there in the Atlantic. I was watching
them a little bit over the weekend. What's the latest
time at belly. Well, we got this one here. This
is Imelda. She's still just a storm at forty five
fifty mile an hour winds, and she has she skated
along the north shore of Cuba and then just went

(17:25):
due north, So instead of heading into the tip of
Florida or running up the coast, now she's moving north
and they think it might be a hurricane by tomorrow.
But then it's going to go right back off to
the east kind of you know, making that right handed
U turn, just like uh Umberto remember him? Yeah, I do,

(17:50):
I do remember Umbarito. Yeah, there's still a thing. He's
still out there. Cap four one hundred and fifty mile
an hour winds. Ain't bothering too many people out there
in the Atlantic though. Maybe what's that area, oh Bermuda
where things disappear. Maybe the hurricane will go there and
disappear too. Yeah, I mean, you know, we got to hope,
and nothing looks like it's anywhere near the Gulf or

(18:14):
gonna be hitting there soon. So you got that the
Pacific side got most of the action this year during
the hurricane season, it really did. They still got something
out there. I noticed that the hurricanes never go up
to England. They don't get them up there. Every now
and then they hit that way, but it's a long
track and they kind of run out of steam before
they get there.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Now that they've gone all in on insids, do you
think maybe they're more likely to get them. I mean
I gotta think, yeah, probably, you know, what is it,
fire and brimstone?

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Probably?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well, yeah, I gotta think celebrating insids, that's exactly what
causes it. That's right, England, you guys probably ought to
knock it off over there with dating your first cousins.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I mean, good morning. Jenny's Catholic, so he's right there
at the top of the list of people who get
to judge others. That's exactly right. Yeah, how we do it. Yeah,
we're good at it. That I can't do Monday, What
are your plans for the week? Work? Work, work, Oh
that's not fun. Wilton and Johnson Radio Network
