You're listening to The Dollop. This is an American History podcast where each week I, Dave Anthony, read a story from American history to my little tiny friend. You're not going gonna demean me. We love each other. Gareth Reynolds, who has no idea what the topic is going to be about. You wouldn't get it.

What, would I not get the hat? You wouldn't understand how we do it here. I see no one else with a pink cowboy hat on but you. Yeah, right, well they get it. They don't get it how I get it, but none of us get you. Look at him with his San Francisco hat. Ooh, San Francisco. Hey, how's that city going, Lib?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You want a hat war? You got it. It's pink Gary time. Giance. I'm gonna leave. You should. Go back to your little city where you got all your freeways and your apartment built not like us.

We drive on roads with tractors and we all live in barns and take horses for wives, right? Who's with me? Yeah. A lot more people here than are women, I'll be honest. That was a very... Look, no. A lot of right-wingers talk shit about San Francisco,

the city and how bad it is, but man, a circle K down the streets, no fucking picnic. Holy shit, I almost died. I was like, are these humans? The fuck was that? It's your fault for going into a Circle K, dude. I don't know what the fuck. What do you expect when you walk into a Circle K? Well, I thought I transported into 1997 Russia. I'm like, what the fuck. What do you expect when you walk into a Circle K? Well, I thought I transported to 1997 Russia.

I'm like, what the fuck? It's gonna be a dream in six months. Ha ha ha. March 6, 1881. Woo! John Calloway Walton was born on a farm near Indianapolis. They called him Jack. That's exciting. They called him Jack?

Yeah. So his family moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas when he was eight. Woo, Fort Smith, Arkansas! I mean eight? Yeah, woo Fort Smith Arkansas! I mean literally no one knows where it is. Would you listen to this San Francisco liberal tell us where our cities are? No one knows where your town is.

Okay, Newsome. Get your head out of your ass. Good Lord. Get your head out of your ass. Good lord. Try a little dill weed in your salad, would you, boy? It's disgusting. The Oklahoma Society quote, Walton's parents instilled within their son

a rigid moral code. Good. It's never good. I do not agree. Oh, fins up. Oh, fins up to bat. He traveled a lot as a young man and served in the army during the Spanish-American War.

Sacrifice fly. It's alright. We'll take it. It's a run. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. After graduating from Fort Smith Commercial College, he got a job as a railroad timekeeper. A timekeeper. Okay.

Yeah. No idea what that, I looked for it. I got a theory. Yeah. I mean, he's probably like making sure the trains know what time it is so that they can leave on time. It's what we would love at an airport. My guess is, is that it was to prevent collisions.

Like he would keep the time, like they were on the same track and they had to switch. So he would be like, so like sprints. Yes, like sprints. How fast did this train do a 40 in? In 1950, in 1853, there was a head on collision because the conductors had different times on their watches. Oh, so he's like a synchronization agent. Yeah, I think so.

Yeah. Make sure all your watches are right. That seems like you don't have to do that job a lot. A lot. Every day. What time you got? At three-ish. No!

It's 7 a.m. Oh my goodness gracious. I, like most in this era, have a huge drinking issue. I don't even have a watch. God damn it, Larry. A fella stole it from me last night. In the late 19th century, railroads replaced 50 different railway times with five time zones to ensure consistency.

That's how we got time zones. Wow, that's crazy. And then Arizona still is like, we don't do daylight savings. Well, let's do a half hour now. We drove through Arizona yesterday, right? Give that fucking state back to Mexico. And we were like, even... Like, at one point, Waze was just giving us the finger.

Yeah, Waze was like, I don't know what time you'll get there. How about seven hours? How about five? I don't know what time you'll get there, but you shouldn't have gone through Arizona. They don't celebrate time. So, John, known as Jack, they called him Jack, not John. I never got that. Kieran Culkin will play him in the biopic. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So after the railroad job, quote, the details of his life become sketchy and remain a topic of debate. Oh, so we're about to enter a maybes. Yeah, we don't know. We don't know. This is really difficult for what you do. One theory, well we can do theories.

Now one theory is he spent four years in Mexico serving as a personal train engineer to President Porfirio Diaz, although there's absolutely no evidence of that. I want to find out what time my train will arrive. People also think he may have been a traveling salesman. This era is getting more and more appealing to me. Yeah.

When you just went and they're like, I'll have a stove. And then this guy was just like, hey, do you want a wallet or something to put your knife in? You're like, yeah, that sounds cool too. He did study engineering and then he moved to Kansas City to become a salesman for national supply houses. Oh, so we only lose him for four years.

Yeah. Oh, then we're back. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. In 1904, he moved to Oklahoma. He came here to work in the water and sewage business. Or did he?

No one really knows. Some people say he didn't arrive until 1915. No one knows what he was doing. Anyway, what we do know is 1905, he married Madeline Oreck just three weeks after divorcing his first wife who we knew nothing about. Wow. This guy kept, he detailedL'd it pretty strong. Yeah.

He was, yeah. In 1913, he co-founded the McIntosh and Walton Engineering Company and served in the Engineering Corps during World War II. By 1917, he had a rep in Oklahoma as a charming and charismatic local leader. Okay. He was elected as public works commissioner and ran in 1920 ran for mayor. Here we go.

This is where it's starting to get dicey. Quote. Politics. Few expected him to succeed and many local journalists already hated him. Seeing him as a political upstart with delusions of grandeur. Well, so like everybody in government now, yeah. Well this guy thinks he's a fancy one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they all think they're better than us now. During his campaign he hired a jazz band to get people to come to his speeches. I like that. So Jack got the nickname Jazz Band Jack. It's so amazing how they morph into a politician. Yeah. Like they look human for so long and then they get in

and then they're like, hey, I'm gonna look like I drink oil. I mean that is. Jazz Band Jack. But if you saw him you'd be like, yeah, is... Jazz band Jack. But if you saw him you'd be like, yeah, jazz. Jazz, absolutely. He's a jazz guy. And is Jazz band Jack because he hired the band

who probably was horrible to follow him everywhere? Yeah. Okay, minions. Despite the bad press, he won. The bad press was what? The press hated him, so they just went after him. We don't know, okay, alright. Author Dirk Langeveld, quote,

he won the election in Oklahoma City by 50,000 votes, the largest majority in the state's history at the time. But 50,000 votes as a huge margin is also fun. That's huge, I mean back then, it's insane. Yeah, I know. Finn's team is up five to one on the bottom of the first. I'm just saying, undefeated.

This will be 11 and 0. We got a lot of money on this game too. We got a lot of money on this one. So he was in support of progressive ideas like women's suffrage, the 40 hour work week, and public ownership of utilities. Remember public ownership of utilities? Oh my God.

No. Remember women's suffrage? No. Can't vote? Nope. All I remember is the jazz band. That actually might happen with our current government. They're like, all jazz guys gotta be white.

That might be what we have to do for a while. We might just approve proof of concept. We might have to be like, fine, go for it. Be like, wait, the dog that caught the mailman. Two, three, four, five, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuck. He's got, just got his mouth on the end of the trombone and puts his finger on the lip part.

Poo, poo, poo, poo, poo. Sweet Caroline. Boop, boop, boop. Walton was rumored to be so liberal on the issue of race relations I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I bet if he had a black jazz band playing, they would have voted for him. Well, listen, it's a great country. It's a lot of fun. As a mayor, he would usurp the police if he felt they weren't doing their job. Could you imagine a mayor?

We need a fucking, oh God, a usurper for positive stuff. Especially with prohibition laws. Quote, Walton personally led raids against speakeasies and other illegal establishments. Nah, he's losing us. He's a, you know, come. Yeah, exactly. He forbade.

They were saying booze. He forbade police officers from joining the Ku Klux Klan. Those were the days. What an achievement. And everyone's like, yeah, that's right. He wouldn't let cops join the Klan. You know what's so fucked up? Like in 10 years, that'll be the Democratic Party platform.

It'll be Chuck Schumer, whose head is on his dick finally. And we're the only party that's saying that you cannot be a Klansman and a cop. Excuse me real quick, I'm gonna suck my own dick down here. In one remarkable case, he ordered a 10 year old boy to be whipped for disrespecting a 13 year old black girl. I am, yeah, it's a hard one. I don't know.

Fuck. It's the right reaction. Yeah. I don't know where to land on that. Did you talk to him a little first? Pull him aside, set him straight. Jesus Christ. This guy's all over the map.

Yeah. Like the EKG of my heart right now is like bing bing bing bing bing bing bing. Love him, what the fuck, love him. Oh no. He was very pro-labor when the meat packers went on strike. He provided them with food and refused to extend police protection to owners and their property,

which infuriated the Chamber of Commerce. Oh, there you go. There you go. There you go. Yep. In January 1922, a black man was lynched after crossing the picket line, dragged from his home, shot, and hanged. And the Chamber of Commerce then demanded martial law to prevent more unrest, but Jack

said the Chamber was, quote, killing the city by their promotion of labor strife and wanted to finish the job by declaring martial law. The murder was made to look like the KKK did it, but it was later found out to be done by union guys. I mean, union history is a complicated history. Jesus, each one of these is like a riddle. Ha ha ha ha ha. It feels like I'm having like a psychological exam.

Do you like that or not like that? I think, I think I, fuck. Now should that boy have been whipped or should that boy have been allowed to do that to that poor little black woman? I like it. You don't need to look into that mirror on the wall I've been allowed to do that to that poor little black woman. I like it? Uh huh. Go ahead. Yeah.

You don't need to look into that mirror on the wall there. There's just a regular mirror. Do you like it? You like when little boys get whipped? Your bag is that, is that right? I'm afraid you're not Circle K material. Uh, we're... We're looking for the best of the best.

A Circle K so fucked up that you can't swipe your credit card at the guest. Can't have that anymore. Yeah, well then you just gotta go inside to complete the circle. Yeah. The guy laughed at me because I was wearing a mask. I was like, you should see you as a human. Dave's a popular guy. So Jack embraced the, he's the everyman, right?

That's his political thing. He's the every guy. Sure. The Farmer Labor Reconstruction League had formed to appeal to workers and farmers. It was run by a socialist and a former member of the left-wing non-partisan League. Yeah, yep, yep, that's actually what needs to come back. The Democratic Party, if you can believe this, at the time, struggling.

Define struggling, please, sir. We've got a bunch of stuff we're doing. Chex mix will now have rye chips. You're welcome. Farmers and laborers had left the party and they were losing the Catholic vote and people who were worried about the KKK. Ooh, fuck me.

This is when there was like a Ponzi scheme where the guy was like charging for the uniforms and like so. Well, that's why he was a grand wizard. It cost a grand. You're like, wait, what? It's a pyramid scheme. The Oklahoma Historical Society, quote, desperate for a victory, democratic leaders looked to Walton, the reputed friend of the common man, as their savior.

So Wal- It's amazing also that they can't figure it out. No, how can you? That they're like, okay. What am I supposed to do, what, people want? Oh, fuck. So he happily accepts the endorsement and he crushes two primary candidates.

What's a primary? I don't remember. The KKK had endorsed another candidate and also mandatory public school, which pushed the Catholic vote to Jack. Because you can't have public school. So the Oklahoma Historical Society quote, Walton hit the campaign trail once again with his jazz band in tow.

Please tell me he upgraded a little. Come on, Whitey. Four, five, nine hundred. How are you not aging? Large crowds gathered wherever he went listening to speeches, long on content, and short on substance. Described by one critic as ill-conceived mouthings.

I've had those. That's the name of your next album. Back when I, when it used to be whiskey and beer, I was a lot of ill-conceived mouthings. But, receiver and participant. Yeah. Crowds love him. Just waking up, sorry, last night was an ill-conceived mouth.

So sorry, I shouldn't have done this. What are we doing? You're married. Yes, I shouldn't have done this. What are we doing? You're married. Yes I am. We do a podcast together. Jesus, no. That's how the show started. So crowds love him, he promised if elected

he would hold a massive barbecue. Wow. What the fuck? That'll get you votes here, right? That'll get you votes. I honestly just... most of it is good, but if you are like... and then we're gonna have a kick-ass party if I win. Yeah. It takes so little now. Yes.

Like if someone was like, you'll get a noodle, I'd be like, yeah, that'll work. Yeah, I'd take a noodle. That sounds good. The press still hates him. There are questions about his conduct as mayor. Why are they, why do they hate him? They hate him because he... I couldn't figure it out.

Is erratic or because they're in the pocket of... I think they just think he's full of shit. Right, okay, sure. Right, the press, yep. Quote, ethical questions plagued him wherever he went, such as his tendency to issue honorary member of police cards to friends and prestigious guests who visited.

Hey Elvis, you wanna be a cop? Well, I don't know if I'm qualified, but. Oh, you're qualified. I'm on a lot of barbiturates. That's it, then you are qualified. For the past two months I've been trying to get a pig that appears and then disappears. Yeah, then you're ready to go.

The other day I chased him in a bathtub drain and got my tongue stuck down it. Tongue what? My tongue got stuck down it. It's called a salt burn. Why? What? Giving everyone a cop car is awesome. Yeah.

Cop card. Oh card. Card. Oh not. How do you give everyone a cop card? That would be the best. Who the? How much money do you think this town has?

Well I was learning to see why the press hated him. Like we don't know who the fuck is a cop anymore. 700 cop guys driving around. Are you a real cop? No. Are you? Nah. I am.

Shut up. That'd be the best. Fuck. I was picturing, like, the end of the Blues Brothers. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! What the fuck? I'm nine, drive it. So the press attacks on him didn't dent his popularity, no one cared, if you can imagine. He was the working man candidate. He defeated the Republican by 50,000 votes in the general election.

Wow, he's good at that. He was supported by Catholic, farm labor, and black voters. The KKK did not endorse either candidate despite both of them trying to get the KKK vote, because he want that. Wait, he was too? No, he tried to get it, but. He did try to get it.

Yeah, you want to vote, because they're like the biggest thing in politics at that time. Oh, fuck me, every time I'm like, coming around. Grow up. Grow up. You're right, absolutely, you're right. I should really check myself. But many Klan members were Democrats and likely voted for Jack.

In the election, W.D. McBee... What? W.D. McBee? W.D. McBee. Oh my lordy lord. He was elected to the state senate. Okay. That guy.

Seems cool. He was a lawyer and he agreed to run for the democrats on the condition that he did not have to campaign. That's awesome. That's awesome. That kicks ass. That's great. So Jack keeps his barbecue promise. 300,000 attended. That's like sometimes it's like Jack in the box

will be like, if the bucks get 100 points, everyone gets Jack in the Box. That's like they do and they're like, fuck. Fan Anthony to RBI Triple. Whoa. We're going to make a lot of money. 300,000. Fuck. I mean that, it's crazy.

There couldn't even have been 300,000 people 300,000. Oh, fuck. I mean, that... It's crazy. There couldn't even have been 300,000 people in Oklahoma City at the time. Yeah, definitely people from out of town were like... They came from everywhere. We did it! Can I have a rib? Who won?

All right. Uh, Lengvild quote, on his inauguration day, so many people took part in the parade to the ceremony that the procession stretched on for 16 miles. I mean, just go home. What are you doing? Like, I can't do that. Yeah, if you're at the end, stop.

What are you, yeah, you get there and you're like, there's no more meat? No, it's Thursday! What do y'all have left? Can I lick the grate? Man, would it be okay if I just banged the spatula onto a paper plate and licked the dust off? I've waited nine days. What an event.

It's unbelievable. The Oklahoma State... This last guy had a gang bang. I mean why did you have to put it that way? That's what I was thinking, it's just like at the end, go, leave. You don't want to... No, you get in there like, this is exactly how I like it, nice and... Nice and warmed up and ready.

The guy at the end who's like, you can go ahead. You can go ahead too. After you. You also can step ahead. After you. I'd like to be last. I just, I don't like being timed. I'm going to take my sweet time.

Go ahead. Boy, we really took that in a bad direction. You started it. Did I? Yeah. The Oklahoma State Fairgrounds became the seat of a massive feast, a vast selection of food, beef, chicken, turkey, deer,

three bears. Three bears? The podcast? And 134 opossums. Oh no! No! No opossum! Oh no, why the? The babies are so fucking tender.

The meat just slips off the baby bone. Oh fuck, I don't care for it in a number of ways. Jesus Christ. Man, the line for old possum is long, but worth it. I'll have a tail. They were cooked on roasting pits that covered more than a mile. Geez. I mean, this is insane.

The fire department brought out its fire engines to supply the water needed. Did someone shit their pants? We all did. Has anyone here not shit their pants? Me, sir. Squeeze them them boys. But I'm in the chest band and I have not eaten yet.

Two, two, two, two. This guy's all over the map, he's back. So the fire department brought us fire engines to supply the water needed to brew 8,000 gallons of coffee. I'm up! What the fuck is... This... You can't go around California

and tell that anecdote anymore. Like, you can't be like... I can't. You know, there was a time where the fire department showed up to make coffee with the hoes. Ha ha ha ha ha. So Jack wants to push his progressive agenda, but the legislature is more conservative and

wouldn't agree to his key reforms. Like he wanted to create a state bank, he wanted a state insurance system, and a soldiers bonus. And the conservative guys, as usual, didn't want to pay the soldiers. He did get some progressive laws passed, like the expansion of a farm cooperative program, improvements to welfare and workman's compensation benefits, stronger laws for banking violation, a free textbook law, and one million in school aid.

Wow. Pretty good shit. Oh, you're clapping for ruin in America! And free possum. Free possum. And the baby ones slip off the bone. Stop talking. You just gotta suck.

Stop it. Nope. Nope, we're good. If you cook it just right, you don't have to take the hair off, you just suck the meat right out. Only one direction you can do that from, weirdo. Exactly.

I pull up in my cop car that I don't deserve. The old penis. Drop the possum, sir, walk away from it. Hold on. There you go, sir. Hold possum. He also declared that no prisoner would be executed on his watch,

but he knew to curr- Which I know a lot about from my first job. But he knew he should try to curry favor with conservative members. Many were in the Klan, and so he met leaders and was designated as a Klansman at Large. What the fuck? Jesus Christ, well we can't like him now. It's pretty cool, yeah, no, it's.

Klansman, what does that mean? Doesn't that mean he's on the run? It's a double secret Klansman. Is it Klansman at large? It's what they gave to public politicians who wanted a secret membership. It's a DL Klansman. What's up?

I only hate the blacks in secret. Hey. God, it's gutting. Now I'm gutted. Jack kept appointing friends and supporters to key roles. He replaced the president of Oklahoma A&M College with the head of the Farmers and Labor's League. Does he, stop crawling back.

No, we don't clap for him anymore, sir. We're done clapping for him. Did you fucking hear, he's undercover clan. Ha ha ha ha. He's got a little hood. He's, yeah. What the fuck? I mean, it's like, there's no more good for me.

This man is dead. He had never got, so the guy he appointed had never gone to college, and he had to be escorted off campus by the National Guard after students and staff protested. Ha ha ha ha. I'm just picturing the National Guard on college campuses and like having a laugh.

And having a giggle. The Farmer and Labor's League then demanded more for farmers, so Jack turns against them. He's like, I gave you the fucking president of the college, what else do you want? I like how he's Tony Soprano now. How fucking dare you. I gave you enough, you planted it all, what else do you want? So now he's... I like how he's Tony Soprano now. How fucking dare you? I gave you enough, you planned it at all,

what the fuck you want from me? So now Jack's quote, he begins referring to league members as Reds and Radicals when he lunched with influential Oklahoma businessmen or made statements to the press. See, yeah, they fucking, they did it. Yeah, they pissed in the pool. Someone's a Federman. Yeah.

But hotter. Yeah, well. Hot Federman. How hard is that? Stop. Like a potato is hotter than Federman. He bought a large mansion in Oklahoma City with the help of a wealthy oil magnate. Ernest Marlin.

He bought a second home in Muskogee. Muskogee. Muskogee? Muskogee. You got two E's there, is it an O? Listen to this. Listen to Sam Fran telling us what two E's does, where he's from. But I thought that it had two E's, so I thought, yeah, okay.

Okay, so sorry, Musco Go. Why don't you Musco Go home to San Francisco where it's falling apart, you little liberal? Take care of your own goddamn Circle K. We are. We like it creepy and haunted. You know, if you spend one night in a Circle K, it's yours. So says the will of the land. So says the will of the land.

If you go into a Circle K, you just rip off the employee's mask. It's normally the old man who ran the amusement park. God damn you kids! He asked the state legislature to pay for a pay raise from $5,000 to $200,000. Oh, fuck me. Now, all right, let me ask you this. Did you pop the Klan information in there

right before the heel turn, or is that really the, like that really is how the events played out no he really got it he seemed like a really second he got clannied like a lefty guy and then he got he all got all clannied and then he was like i need to have uh 200 i also think it was when the lefties started pushing back and going no we want more and then he was like fuck you i'm now i'm a clansman it's like a jimmy dora thing It's like a Jimmy Dora thing. That guy's alive now. Oh yeah.

Oh no, not my boyfriend! Now I like the show. Fuck him. So he's asking for a 40, a raise of 40 times the salary, as you do. By the way, in this day and age, that sounds like nothing. Yeah. Like the Delta CEO. It's the equivalent of 3.75 million today for governor.

Which is a lot. It's a lot. They probably, I would imagine Scott Walker walked with something like that. Yeah, he was probably like, yeah. Foxconn, he was like, this is great. You and your Foxconn, let it go, man. I'm sorry, it's very upsetting, it ruined my state.

Well, it was very upsetting. Your state would have ruined itself, jeez, bro. I just can't believe they snuck con into the con. It was like so obvious what they were doing. They were like, uh-huh, we're opening a bullshit factory and you're all gonna have jobs. You're gonna be so tired of winning. So all this stuff kinda hurt Jack's every man image.

Yeah. I wonder why. I don't know. And they, talk of impeachment begins. It'd be great when he fires the jazz band. Are we coming with you, Mr. Governor? Look, you've been fucking horrible the whole, you guys, seriously, how long could someone be 12?

Get out of here. Ha ha ha. We put everything behind you. Shut up, get out of here. Two, three, four, Seven, nine. Ninety one, two hundred and five. 91, 205. Never meet your heroes. Ha ha.

So people in the state start talking about impeachment and critics are saying he misused public funds and his pardon power. Now after World War I, the Klam was more powerful, especially in Oklahoma where membership was between 90 to 200,000. How do you, was that a census? Well, you can't, it's like, you can't go like, are you in the Klan? Yes.

Wait, no. Fuck. Are you? You, uh. White, no. Fuck, are you? You, uh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

What clan? The cool guy clan? Pink hat clan. Of races. Nice try, dickhole. Nice try, dickhole. It was estimated one in every 20 residents was in the Klan. That's fucking crazy. That's crazy.

David Mark Chalmers, author of Hooded Americanism, the History of the Ku Klux Klan, says the Oklahoma Klan was, quote, less concerned with crime than personal behavior So they were like morality yeah, fuck me most victims were white Protestants in which Stop Dave It's a slippery slope. We just saw it go through it stop I Can hear you. Some arguments. Most victims are white Protestants,

including young men and women caught riding in cars together. Jesus Christ. Ill-received mouth moves or whatever. Yeah, it's like the fingering cops are out there. Y'all been fingering tonight? What are y'all? Anyone had a digit in them tonight?

What's going on here? Bring that over here son, I'll smell it. I mean someone was gonna do it. Put your finger in this tube son. They bring a dog over, smell that, have him smell that. Well we're gonna have to search the car, dog smelled something on you. They were also. We're gonna have to take you downtown and put you in a lineup, someone might finger you there.

They also went after bootleggers and and both a man who had deserted his wife and the woman he ran off with. So they're just out. It's just morality. Yeah. Ballbusters. Yeah. So the KKK promoted themselves

as moral guardians of a society and defender of traditional values more than race warriors. Oh for fu- wait, fuck, fuck. Leggabelt quote, Clansmen typically kidnapped a person, took them to a remote location, and whipped them. The clan also tar and feather, mutilate, assault, and sometimes murder. Those subjected to these abuses were rarely reported. They were either afraid of reprisals or certain that local officials were themselves part

of the KKK. Or killed. Well, you wouldn't want to go to an official because they might be part of the KKK. Oh, fuck. So when a case did go to court, juries usually acquitted anyone charged. Because they were also afraid. Or they're in the Klan. Or they're in the Klan. Or they're in the Klan, yeah.

Like if you don't know who's in the Klan, then yeah. Right. It's cool. It's great. It's great. In 1922 alone, the Klan were said to have- Hold on a second, our phone's ringing. Is that your phone?

Can we answer it? It's my alarm. Oh, it's your alarm. What's your alarm set for? What's the alarm for? I work nights. Oh, are you leaving? Okay.

You're gonna work nights. You understand what I'm saying? Oh, you'll be working nights. Sir, shut up. Christ. So the violence of the clan was actually really unpopular, if you can believe that. Weird. But they're very powerful and many thought they did good or represented their values, because that's the whole morality thing, right?

Right. And they're not out publicly, quote, considerable numbers of Oklahoma government officials during the 1920s were either clan members or apologists. Like you, so you're an apologist. No. It's fucking crazy. Wrong.

Jack had a mixed relationship. With the Klan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, we got some buddies. We have a will, they won't, eh? As mayor, he spurned them and angered them during the meatpacking strike, but he courted them during the election, and as governor, he was pretty soft on them.

Mm-hmm. It definitely sounds like the playbook. Yeah, he appointed them, he appointed a Klansman to the head of the Department of Health. soft on them. It definitely sounds like the playbook. Yeah. He appointed them, he appointed a Klansman to the head of the Department of Health. Oh, fuck. What is this Rabo Flavin'? You know what cures measles is a weird look. The only way to beat measles is with more measles. You want out-measel.

You got to out-measel them. They're called measles because they're weak. They're measly. But with the pressure being piled on Jack felt he should take drastic action to win people back. So in May 1922, great day for Oklahoma, riot breaks out in Tulsa. Oh! 21!

All right. Sorry, were you talking about the thousands killed? So it starts innocuously with a guy in an elevator, black guy, and a woman says she grabbed him and then essentially... She says he grabbed her. yeah, and then they're like, let's burn down Tulsa. I think the neighborhood is Greenwood. Yes, Greenwood. So a lot of people fucking get killed. I mean, it's like, it's a crazy,

it's a legit crazy fucking, one of the darkest things in America. That's why we're not gonna cover it that much. So rioters looted and they burned an area known as Black Wall Street, mostly middle-class black. People, initially they're like, 36 people died, but now it's like, no, it's like hundreds. So people at Oklahoma are shocked. Like, not everybody's down with this. Right, yeah. And so Jack sees it a political opportunity. Lang. Langfeld quote, shortly after the riot,

the Klan completed its Clavern, which was an enormous assembly hall capable of holding up to 3,000 people. And it was nicknamed Be No Hall by locals. They joked that members wishing to join had to be no Jew, be no Catholic, be no immigrant, be no... Fuckin', let me know when to tag back in. By the way, 3,000.

It's a lot of clansmen. It's not quite a good time for a fire, right? Right, I know, whoops. That's the problem with wearing the most flammable outfit possible. Dan's long hood's on fire. In June 1923, people, I don't know, say this one. Okmulgee? Okmulgee.

Okmulgee? Or,ulgee. Okmulgee? Or Ork-mul-go? Okay. Okmulgee complained of mob violence and no police response. So. Well all the cop cars were gone, he gave them to everybody.

What the fuck were they supposed to do? There's a bunch of Elvis's going around town. Finn got hit by a pitch. That mutt, we gotta go, have a good night. He got an RBI though, so it's fine. Hopefully it wasn't his face or whatever. Toughen him up. So, so they don't, cops aren't doing anything, so Jack declares martial law and he sends

foreign international guard for three days. Which is kind of a, that's kind of how you would respond after the Tulsa fucking nightmare. Yeah, right, right. But he never mentions the Klan, but he says it's pretty clear that they're the mob that he's talking about. So this gets praised, but critics weren't happy, including McBee, who is looking into impeaching him for doing this. So, how do we... what's McBee's deal? We've lost the thread on McBee. Are we pro or anti-McBee? I think we're pro McB. Okay, that's what it feels like.

So the petition for impeachment was getting a lot of signatures and people are turning against Jack. And in August, a Jewish guy who runs a boarding house gets attacked by four men after cops question him. Because he was suspected of selling drugs. Okay. And this happened just blocks from Tulsasa police station, so people are wondering if like he, there's some sort of- Poor location for your occupation is not a crime. I agree.

So. The victims, sorry, Jack said he declared martial law if the cops don't start making arrests there also. Okay. For that. Right. So the victims visited Jack's secretary and the guy, the Jewish guy, he's like,

look at all these injuries, and he shows the bruises and stuff. And then Jack declares martial law. So he's like, look at this one, oh never mind, that one, they kicked me. Oh yeah, and he's like, that's it. Send him out! And then the riot, okay, interesting standards.

Yeah, quote, the residents of the city of Tulsa were particularly incensed by Walton's order. Oh, fuck me. I mean, you just burned down the black part of town. How dare you. Martial law might be appropriate for a backwater region like Okomolje, they argued. But not for Tulsa.

We ain't no Oak-mulgee-ans. How dare you? I mean, all we did was just burn them. So then, a black guy is suspected of stealing a car and he gets kidnapped and then Jack declares absolute martial law. What's going on, did he just find out about it? Like two weeks ago, wait, what is it?

Martial law? Yeah, so he's like, martial law! I'm gonna go to the grocery, actually just martial law and see if they'll grab me some stuff. I mean, I think, you you know after the Tulsa thing I think when the Tulsa thing was happening everyone was like what the fuck I think everyone's okay with this and then he realized Like no, it was not and now he's just you know, yeah, he's trying to yeah now Doth protests martial law too much The National Guard's authority now supersedes local officials. Yes. He suspends habeas corpus, which is against the state constitution.

Right. Well, every constitution. Or was. Yeah, it's also against the US constitution. I mean, used to be. I mean, back then it was. No, not anymore. But it's for free.

No, absolutely. Oh my God. It's fun to be a falling empire. Yeah, it really is. So Jack convenes an inquiry into Klan violence and hundreds of people testify. Stories include a couple who said amassed men had taken them from their home

and flogged them for brewing a strong alcoholic beverage. The fuck? They reported to police but no one was arrested? Oh, sorry, I got this guy wrong. So this is a black deputy, John Smithereen, and he was kidnapped. Quote, Smith is, I got this guy wrong. So this is a black deputy, John Smithereen, and he was kidnapped. Quote, Smithereen said the mob accused him of registering black voters to cast their ballots against the city administration, as well as being ungentlemanly with conduct towards a white woman. After tying to a tree, they beat him and ordered

him to leave the state. and they cut off an ear and made him eat it. Oh fuck me. Boy that's just fucking book of spell shit ages back. Snacks. That's crazy. So well I also like that he now the idea that he's doing investigations into the Klan after like that's what they all fucking the politicians are such well so far he's flipped back and forth right yeah I know but he's popular yes yeah that's what they do it's like he's actually a very good politician unfortunately yeah right yeah so there's also Ellis Ameriman who said he was

kidnapped by two men saying they were cops and they took him to a Klan meeting they also beat him and make him leave town. But then he comes back a month later and he gives the names of the 18 men who attacked him to the county attorney who does nothing. And then what? He gives it to the county attorney and the guy's like, what are you going to do? So his employer then threatens to fire him if he doesn't leave the matter alone.

And his testimony leads to the arrest of the Grand Dragon. Honestly, in any other context, what a dumb statement. It's so fucking stupid. It's stupid on a level where we're like, it's normal not to be like, ooh, they got the Grand Dragon. Yes. What would you like us to call him?

A fucking head dip shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Grand Dragon. Well, he's pretty grand.

Like a mythical, yeah. Oh, fuck. And I'm head unicorn. But the Grand Dragon had an alibi. I'm the Caddywampus. Are you done, Goblin? I'll think a more mythical beast soon. Ha ha ha, will you?

Yeah. I'm Lead Fairy Godmothermother and I tell you what? So a godmother is now a mythical creature? Hey, motherfucker, you let Grand Dragon slide. Ha ha ha. So the Grand Dragon- I'm James and the Giant Peach. Ha ha ha.

That would be amazing. Hello, I'm Willy Wonka, but I only like wats. Wadi Wonka. Welcome to our races club, we are fucking losers. But the Grand Dragon is an alibi, so he was not convicted. The Grand Dragon is an alibi. It's like a John Grisham book that the publisher was like, you could do better. Keep plugging away, John. You're tired. You've written 800 books. He boasted that Jack and his allies would quote, never be able to break the power of the KKK in Oklahoma.

Jack quote, this is only one of hundreds of such crimes committed, which the civil authorities of the state refused to cooperate. I asked the people of the civilized world in the presence of this testimony, if I was not justified in proclaiming martial law in the city of Tulsa. Motherfucker, you hung out with him. I know, but now he's not. Yeah, I know.

But it's amazing to just fucking kick a drum of oil over and then be like, who spilled this and how can we fix it? And we're not leaving here until we find the motherfucker who did this. Jack then suggested that people take violent action against the Klan. I mean look, I'm not angry. Quote, I don't care if you burst right into them with a double-barreled shotgun, I'll promise you a pardon in advance. It's good, it's good.

I mean, it is good, it is good. It's truly... Kill a Klansman, get a pardon? Oh my God. Truly, truly. Make me president. Oh my... Oh my... Oh.

I just come into your office, I'm like, we lost rocket money. Uh... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I do think it was that, I do think it was that. I really, I think when we, in retrospect. But here's the thing, most people think he's overreacting and he's being heavy handed. Known Klan members mocked his martial law declarations saying 90% of guard members were Klan anyway. Oh, fuck.

But this is why you, like, you cannot let this shit fester. I mean, this is why when you let this, you open the door to this shit, you can't put it back in forever, because now they're in power. Now they're in the driver's seat, and now it is the thing where you've gotta be like, people who do speak up, you end up fucking getting jailed

because there's no habeas corpus. Right. Cool. Are you lecturing me? Yeah, get out of here. You brought your liberal values. So there was a petition calling for a vote to alter the state constitution to allow the legislature

to convene an emergency session without the governor's permission. In order to what? To offer protections against? So to impeach him. To impeach him over his saying that he could shoot Klansmen? Yeah. What a wild, wild ride.

The petition got a lot of signatures. Jack had every single one checked for authenticity to delay the process. Yeah. A grand jury was held to investigate Governor Walton's actions and on September 15th he panicked and ordered martial law across the state. It's like literally a guy who just found out about citizens arrest. You don't serve breakfast past 1030, martial law. So he calls it a quote clan conspiracy Oklahoma

City was under here as he was right there go ahead Oklahoma City was under absolute martial law so the state house couldn't sit right so they can't get they can't get there and they have to sit and they they need his permission to sit also to do the impeachment. So it's a- That's looking best. Can we have it? No. No.

Please, we need it. We're not gonna, just give it to us. Please. Jack says he won't let them sit because 68 members are Klansmen. Jesus Christ. So he demands the WR Samson, the Cyclops of Muscogee KKK, his secretary, the sheriff,

police commissioner, plus three members of the county jury commission in Tulsa County step down. So people say he's overreacting and then he orders the national guardsman to set up machine guns at the court. You want to see overreacting? It's fucking dude. His last chapter is amazing. And the Capitol building to prevent the grand jury. We cannot let Trump know about this guy.

No. Absolutely fucking not. No. No. No. They call me Cyclops and I now have a gun on my head so it's called, I'm a Cybertrum is what I am. And my final form.

is what I am and my final form. Do you guys have an anti-drag law here that you can't, no you guys haven't done that? Cause I was saying, someone could call the cops on him right now if they think that. Well, well, well, liberal indeed. I'm not gonna call the cops on you. Yeah, defund them, now I need them. Hello.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Cook. So people say he's overreacting and he orders the National Guard to set up machine guns at the courthouse and Capitol building to prevent the grand jury and legislature from convening. McBee is not deterred. McBee is not anything. Quote. On

September 20th McBee and 64 other legislators met on the 11th floor of the Skerven Hotel in Oklahoma City. I'll meet you at the Skerven. And issued a proclamation modeled after the Declaration of Independence. The writers accused- The nerve. The writers accused Jack of, quote, repeated injuries, usurpations, and blunders. Usurpations. Establishing an absolute tyranny and absolute despotism

over this commonwealth. Are they just trying to outsmart him? He's like, uh, yeah did. Or wait, what's usurptism? They argued due to the extreme circumstances the legislature could convene without a call from the governor and would gather at noon on September Wow. So Jack declared that a Klan meeting. His fucking dude. He's like Trump with tariffs. Yeah. He is.

Yeah. Everything's a Klan meeting or martial law. I look at that as a Klan meeting. What are you gonna do about it, fucking martial law? Boom, it's over, game over. Where's my waffles? They'll be right out, fucking martial law? Boom, it's over, game over. Where's my waffles? They'll be right out, honey.

Martial law, fuck it, I don't even want them anymore. Put them in a doggie bag, you're cooked. He also said McBee was a known leader of the Dunkin' clan. Mmm, the donut people. Yeah. Yeah. Terrible racist, but what a great old fashioned. Oh boy, I tell you what, the donut people. Yeah. Terrible racist, but what a great old fashioned. Oh boy, I tell you what, the bear claw.

He threatened to call on the National Guard to shoot and or arrest any legislators who turned up. And he called them to be an enemy of the state and the head of the invisible empire trying to bring down the government for the clan. I, Dave, my feelings are so mixed. I'm so conflicted on him. He's really, he's coming in so strong at the end with. I don't know if McBee is a clan member or if he's just a guy who's like what the fuck are you doing? I'll be honest I feel like he's a guy who's like what the fuck are you doing but I don't even care. He does have a statue. McB does? Yeah. Or his dad. McB does.

Maybe it's a different McB. Well I guess Or his dad. Or his dad. McB does. It might be a different McB. I would imagine. Well, I guess I shouldn't put too much past this country to be honest with you. But I'm not sure. Yeah, I mean, he could be a clan member. I don't know. I don't think so.

So McB says he's willing to face arrest or even get shot to get rid of Jack. Okay. Done. Deal. Done. Jay got it. Martial law, throw him in water with weights. I'm martial lawing you. On September 20th.

I'll show you who's going to usurp each other. You don't even know what that means. You're despotism is what you are. Do you understand? On September 26th, 68 members of Congress tried to enter the State House, but guards turned them away. So they tried to meet again in the state house, but guards turned them away. So they tried to meet again in the rotunda,

but were kicked out at gunpoint. Then they went back to their hotel, but found it was full of armed guards, some in uniform, but many not in uniform. That's so Russia. That is, hello, please sleep tightly. Do you want to talk in? Where are the sheets? Uh, some people had to borrow them.

Take care, sleep well. There's a wolf in bathroom. What was that? That is uh, don't worry about him. We call him Kiklops. Kiklopes. What was that? That is, uh, don't worry about him. We call him Kiklops. Kiklopes. He lives in closet where your iron and iron board are.

Don't go in there either. I recommend you use the chamber at this spot. What was that? That I, that is a drip torture for later, which we won't need. Here, put on TV. You have over one channel, or under. Please, no more questions. McB tried to go back to his room with his wife and kid, but quote, nine men with guns

were stationed outside the door. Nine? Nine. Is so excessive. You're not going in your room, McBee! Yeah, no shit. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Like, seven of you could have done something different

and I would have known that. Ha ha ha ha ha. He was told he could go into the room, but then couldn't come back out. Well, I don't think I'll be going in to be quite honest with you. Why? Go in.

This is the worst hotel I've ever been in. So he sends his wife and son downstairs and then told the soldier that he could come and go as he pleased and challenged the guards to arrest him. I seriously thought you were gonna say a wrestling match. I was like fucking, let's go, McBear. Get your shirt off!

Oh my God, look at McBear, he's up on the ropes. No he isn't! No respect! Then he contacted the head of the National Guard and found out these were not actually guardsmen, but random guys from Chicago who Jack had hired to quote, keep the peace. This is, what are you doing to me, Dave?

What are you? Yeah, there's no way you're getting inside of that room, I'll tell you that much. Are you from here? Yeah, of course we are. We're all from, we're all, Oklahoma, yeah, we're all from here. What's the capital?

Look, you can go inside the room or you can not go inside the room. Drop the fucking attitude, Jack. We're about to declare martial law upon you, specifically. You don't even know what martial law is, do you? Yeah, we do. Go fuck yourself. Hey, Don, flick a cigarette at this little dweeb.

Fucking loser. When the legislators got into the rooms, they found that they had been ransacked and bottles of whiskey were planted in an attempt to frame them. Because it's prohibition. Yeah. That's so funny. They're hammered. He's just gonna enhance them much. They're hammered. He didn't enhance them much. So next, Jack canceled the Oklahoma State Fair. That is correct.

Big fucking mistake. No, you went too far! You can enable the Klan, you can try to take the Klan out of the state, you can declare martial law over and over again, but for the love of God, if you're stopping me from having a novelty-sized turkey leg and a deep-fried Twinkie while getting sick on a Tilted Whirl, you can suck the state's dick, Jack! I've been growing this pig for two fucking years. She gotta be shown. Your genuine reaction was phenomenal.

Everyone was phenomenal. Everyone was like, well that's right down the middle of winter. Fucking dare you. So now a lot of people are calling for his impeachment. And on September 28th the petition was declared legal and two days later, all 77 counties had agreed to have it on the ballot. And Jack said that all the counties and judges were all working for the Klan and that the... And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead.

And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. And that the election wouldn't go ahead. Quote, there may be bloodshed, but there will be no election.

America! But county officials held elections anyway, and no blood was spilled. And that night, Jack declared, quote, the fight of the invisible empire has just started. I am still governor of Oklahoma. Gentlemen, that is all the statement I have to make. He lost in a landslide at 209,000 to 70,000.

70,000 is a phenomenal turnout for that ending. Yeah. He must have been like, holy shit, that was close. Uh, what if I declare martial law? Can I win still? The election made national headlines. Yeah, for sure. Imagine if it didn't.

McBee called the legislature for October 17th, an angry residence of Muskogee gave Jack a mock funeral with a parade and a 21 cap gun salute. Well, that was nice. Before burying him in effigy in the Muskogee sewers with a headstone. With a headstone that read he proclaimed himself to death.

I only thought you could burn effigy. I didn't realize you could throw them where like in the toilet. Toilet effigies would be a good website. Yeah. Flushable effigies. Jack kept insisting it be a good website. Yeah. Flushable Effigies. Jack kept insisting it was a clan plot. Bro, let it go.

It's not over. Let it go. He and his supporters. He's just in his room like, martial law? Jack, honey, come to bed. He's looking out the window. Martial law, that's what they'll.

Then they'll come to me and they'll go. Jack, come on. No, they'll just come to me and they'll go. Jack, come on. No, they'll just come at me and they'll, hold on babe, I'll be right there. They'll look at me and I'll just go, martial law to you. And then they will be martial lawed. Jack, I got a new.

And when they say martial, hold on. Jack, I got a new necklace, yeah. Yeah, I understand, hold on. Hello. I'll be there in a minute. I'll declare martial law. I will declare martial law on you in a second, but hold on. Hello. I'll be there in a minute. I'll declare martial law on you in a second, but hold on.

Before I do that. I don't like this fella looking around our garbage. Might go out there and do a little martial law on him. Oh, I'm not feeling good. Something about that seafood. I think I got martial law. Jack, my cookie's the clan. What? Well you know me.

I'm either in or I'm out. There's no in between. So he and his supporters came up with a plan to offer his resignation in exchange for passing of a strict anti-Clan bill. The thinking was that he would appear to be sticking to his principles and then he could run for the Senate. And then when he proposed this to Congress, a rep said, quote, who in the hell asked him to resign?

Everyone's over him. They all want him gone. Yeah. They're just like, what? No, we're not making a deal. We're just. Marshal law? Can I do it? The legislature passed a resolution accusing Jack Walton

of quote, willful neglect of duty, corruption in office, incompetency and offenses involved moral turpitude. A committee investigated and filed 22 charges against him, 16 on corruption and six on abuse of martial law. Abuse of martial law. Hold on a minute. You really fucked up. Now look, now look.

I'll admit around the edges I abused my power a touch, but I always respected the martial law button and you know that. You ruined martial law. You know that I was always very careful. It was gonna be so great. Martial law really could have been awesome. And you shit all over it, Jack. He just has a guy next to him like, this is martial law.

He's a man. Willful neglect of duty. Oh, I's a man. Willful neglect of duty, oh I already did that. The state senate convened a court of impeachment on November 1st and after 11 days there was a very colorful testimony. There were two fistfights. And after 11 days they found him guilty on 11 charges. He was governor for just 10 months. You know, Dave, at the end of this one, it takes a lot to shock me, but you've done it again, you bastard.

10 months! 10 months! 10 months! Yeah. What a run! It was the shortest serving governor in state's history. What, and nobody did more with martial law in his 10 months.

He was the first to be impeached. He got some anti-Clan legislation passed, but it was pretty weak. Clan influence waned in the state after. He somehow won the Democratic primary to run for the Senate in 1924. But during the campaign said things like, quote, 95% of Protestant ministers in Oklahoma are Klansmen and lower than skunks.

Which I'll be serving if I win. He also accused a resident of being, quote, one of this dirty klux crowd who would steal the pennies off St. Peter's eyes and ravish the Virgin Mary. Hey, hey. Well, I mean. Hey, Jack. What's she into?

Jack. What? Let's not take shame. Jack, that last one was a bit. No, I'm just saying. What were you trying to say? I'm saying. Shorten it, tight, you know, we just gotta think, that's fine.

We just gotta think, think it's short punches, short and sweet. So try it, try it again. Bang the Virgin Mary. All right, we're good, we're all set. Have a good day. You told me to shorten it, that's shorter than rabbit. See you later.

Take care. Did I commit a crime? Yes. Are the priests gonna come? Well, I'm gonna take some weird stuff for them too. Jack denied he said it and offered to donate $500 to charity if somebody did say it. The Daily Oklahoman collected 100 sworn affidavits from witnesses swearing he said it. We don't know if he ever paid though. No, he didn't. Martial law. In January 1931, Jack was indicted with 18 others

for mail fraud related to the promotion of the defunct business Universal Oil and Gas. All were acquitted due to insufficient evidence. He ran for Senate again in 1936 but lost in the primaries. His last public office was serving on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission from 1933 to 1940. He died in November 25th, 1944 at the age of 68. Fuck. A fucking hero. What a run. He died a hero.

Oh, sorry, did someone take on the Klan? What a run. Anyway, that's Oklahoma's most famous leftist. What a run. Wow, what a run. That is fucking crazy. That's overwhelming. The source is Brad Durin, clanspiracy or despatism, the rise and fall of-

Hey, I said clanspiracy. That guy took my thing. Stop it. Jerk. Dirk Langville, the Jackson Walden general incompetence versus invisible empire and fascinating politics, the rise and fall of he waltzed. He was a goodin'. At times.

Sometimes he was good, and when he was bad, he was real bad. That's fucking crazy. You can't trust a jazz guy. They're making it up as they go. Alright everybody, thank you, appreciate you for coming out. Thank you guys. Hey, Dollop fans.
