  Speaker 1: What do we have in the headlines today. We're gonna
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: pick apart. First of all, big news. It's Friday. Congratulations,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you made it. Your weekend is here. March Madness is
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: going on too. That's awesome. We uniquely incredible, great sporting event.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Even if you're not into sports. Check out these kids
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: playing basketball. It's a lot better than the NBA these days,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that much. Not only that, we've
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: got Trump's Japan joke yesterday, specifically a Pearl Harbor joke.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I see this as a litmus test to see whether
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: or not you need to lighten up a little in
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: your life. I literally laughed out loud. This is one
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of the rare things on news. I saw live yesterday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It was onto the background when I was working doing
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: something else, and I literally laughed out loud. But you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: might have to work on lightning up a little if
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you didn't find this funny, because even Japan's Prime Minister
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: eventually found it funny. But Jake Tapper and the people
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in the media didn't, that's for sure. Speaking of Japan
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and allies. Gold Star Families met with Pete Hegsitt yesterday.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Very sad event, but they had an important message for him.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We need to tell talk about quick little save act update.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Is it past? No, that's about the update. And we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: have a bachelorette meltdown the show the Bachelorette, And you're
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: thinking that, hell is he talking about the Bachelorette for
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: has he ever seen it?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I have not. But this is worthy of talking about
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: because now I've seen the whole world has seen the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: meltdown that got the show canceled, and now the apology
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: tour has begun. Everything I've ever said about the non
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: apology apology from celebrities, it's fantastic. Thanks for being here.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you for the Wicked Radio live stream and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: replay on x and YouTube and Facebook. More importantly, I think,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: because that's where most of you find it. Apparently these days,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that's the thing that's grown. The audio podcast get gets
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: sent off into the Internet, into the ether, as soon
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as we're done with the live stream, wherever you like
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to get him, whatever platform you choose. More importantly, all right,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: let's get to it. Noth of me talking. Let's go
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to President Trump talking. This is comedy Trump. I'm telling you,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I laughed out loud when I heard this, so he's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: sitting with the Japanese Prime Minister, who he loves and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: she obviously loves him. Very important meeting because at the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: end of it, it was Japan's support for our efforts
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East, and she pretty much was the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: lynchpin and getting all the other allies to support. Now
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they're gonna help us out in the straight up hord moves.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It's all a good thing. But this is the moment
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: everybody's talking, and we.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Who knows better about surprise than Japan. Hey, why didn't
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay, right, only him? Now,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: if you've seen the video in the close up and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the still shot of at your son the Japanese Prime
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Minister again, remember there's a translator involved to I think
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: she heard clearly enough Pearl Harbor, and she did go
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: stoneface for a second, but she lightened up after that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just I found that hilarious because it's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: just it's just a perfect moment. He's got impeccable timing.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to say something like that. And also
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: only he could get away with that, honestly, why don't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you tell us about Pearl Harbor. Now, this is why
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I say it's like a litmus test to see whether
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they need to lighten up in your life or not.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Because you know what you don't want to be. You
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: don't want to be Jake Tapper. That's right, CNN's Jake Tapper,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: because immediately it wasn't the only one. He's just the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: most prominent one. Who This is not funny. It's a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: serious moment. It's quite disturbing to harken back to a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: historical moment that, Oh, shut up, here's Jake. For what
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it's worth. Prime Minister Takeichi was born twenty years after
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor. Thanks for clearing that up, Jake, appreciate it
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: very much. I'm sure she hasn't heard about it. God,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: what a humorless moron. Now, I'm always telling you that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: these media empty suit talking heads are humorless. They really
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: truly are. They are. And you gotta find people in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: your personal life today. Maybe you'll run into somebody at
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: lunch or over here, somebody talking about the Trump Pearl
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Harbor joke. They're all upset about it. Just lighting up,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: would you. Good? God, two things can be true a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: serious subject matter. Nobody wants to joke about what happened
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: there and talking about it now it's kind of a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: healing thing anyway. This is more serious than that, for sure.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And we have lost some American service members in the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury, and those families met with Pete Hegsath
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and President Trump yesterday. Pete Heggsath said something really important
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in the aftermath press conference talking about this. I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the message is very very important. Here's Pete yesterday.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Yesterday at Dover Air Force Base, President Trump, the Chairman,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: and I stood in solemn silence as heroes came home,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: flag draped caskets. We honored them, We grieved with their families,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: and we listened. What I heard through tears, through hugs,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: through strength, and through unbreakable resolve was the same from
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: family after family. They said, finish this.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Now you may be thinking, and good for you for
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: asking the question and thinking this too, Like, how do
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we know that's true? How do we know we're not
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: here from them directly? How do we know Secretary of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: War Pete Heggsaf isn't just making it up to support
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: our war effort and our efforts. How do we know
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the gold Star families told him personally to his face
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: keep this up. Here's the determining factor. I think if
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he was lying about that, I'm pretty confident that those
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: families would have run right to the media or told
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: somebody or done an interview or maybe a video themselves
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and put it on social media and said that was
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a lie. I'm pretty confident about that. And also there's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: this factor to consider it. Imagine the horrifying situation if
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you lost a loved one, son, daughter, whatever it is,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: dad in a military effort. Wouldn't you want your side,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: your team to go after those bastards with everything they have,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: because I would. But I think he can believe them
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and take it for face value on that one. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: really do. Otherwise it would be easily, you know, debunked.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it would. But that's their message, you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: unlike the talking heads who are on TV every single
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: day saying that nobody supports this. Well, they lost family
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: members in Operation Epic Theory and they appeared to supported
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: so I believe them over the over the media. All right,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: let's get an update on the Save Act. Is it passed? No?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Now one video? I couldn't the rare occasion where I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: couldn't stomach playing a clip for you from Senator Lisa Murkowski,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Republican in name only, from Alaska. She got out there
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: yesterday in her time to speak, and she had maps,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and she had graphics, and she had displays, you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just printed up from from printing a graphics department, and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: she said she can't support the Save Act because of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: geologic geographic difficulties for people to vote in her state
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of Alaska. I just she's just awful, just absolutely ridiculous.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Oh the hell with the rest of the nation, right, Lisa,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I guess anyway, she's one of them, She's one of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the rhinos not passing this thing. All the Democrats are
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: against it, even Fetterman, because then like the ID thing.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But they also proposed this yesterday apparently on the Senate floor.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: They said, okay, forget everything else and just just focus
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on the ID part of it. Just let narrow this down.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Let's let's little whittle away to the one thing you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: know everybody supports, just showing voter idea at the polls,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and every single Democrat still voted against that. Here's Mike Lee.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: God loved this guy for trying is what he said
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: yesterday after he was up till like three o'clock in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the morning.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: End of having free and fair elections, and it makes
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: them impossible. So look, I think that there's only one
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: legitimate reason to oppose this. I have yet to hear
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: a legitimate argument against the bill, which begs the question,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: do they really just want to make it easy to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: vote so badly because they're willing or even enthusiastic to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: just make it easier to cheat.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Well, he's finally saying that. We've all said it now
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: literally for years. You know, we know, I know, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: everybody knows, everybody, especially the Democrats, the only reason why
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you'd ever not support voter ID, even as popular as
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it is, is because you want to cheat elections. And
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he they're finally saying it out loud to their colleagues
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in the Senate. You need to say it more and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you need to start getting tougher. We said this, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: said this probably a month ago, a month and a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: half ago, when this all started, when it was in
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the House version. You got to start exposing some of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the people against this, and you got to start exposed.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Now they want to do that because they know they'll
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: come back on them. And I'm sure that there's Republicans,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you know, serving in the center right now who are
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: also probably shouldn't have been elected in a fair election
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: most likely, and they know that, so they don't want
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: their records being looked at. I think you need to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: start going onto the Senate floor and the people who
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: oppose it have again go down to printing and graphics
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and have big billboards with who their sponsors are, who
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: their lobbyists are, who their supporters are, who their campaign
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: donors are, and get to the bottom of why they're
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: not passing this, because that's the only thing that's going
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to happen. You're gonna have to call them out and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: shame them. So it's all it's going to take. It's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: so ridiculous and embarrassing at this point. But there are fighters,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Rick Scott him, there are many others, John the Senator,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: John Kennedy. They're all fighting, but not everybody is. That's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: where we are on that, all right, Let's go to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the big story of the day. The Bachelorette has been canceled.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: What why am I talking about the Bachelorette? Have I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: ever seen it? I have not, but I saw this meltdown.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: The whole world did like it or not. In celebrity news,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Celebrity World TMZ is massive and they usually get the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: story exactly right, and they break so many different news stories.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: story first. And they now played a little video if
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you haven't or seen or heard it already yet, ABC,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And this is one of the important parts of the story. ABC.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The network has pulled the plug on the new season
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of The Bachelorette. Right now, you're going, oh, how my
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: life go on? All right? Hold on, there's more video
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: surface of the star Taylor Frankie Paul assaulting her then boyfriend.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: What assault and in twenty twenty three, it's three years old.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Nobody saw this until now the new season is over.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Before it began, the video shows Tailor viciously assaulting Dakota,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: then throwing metal chairs at him wile and this is
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the really awful part. Even worse than that, her five
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: year old daughter was in the room. At one point.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Dakota says he was hit by one of the chairs.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: He says, the kid was hit by one of the chairs.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: It's an awful thing. It led to Taylor being arrested.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: She ended up pleading guilty to third degree of felony
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: charge of aggregated assault. Blah blah blah blah blah. After
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: TMZ released the video, though Taylor's rep said it conveniently
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: omits context. I don't know what kind of context you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: would need, because if you haven't seen or heard the video,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: this is what it's like. Again, true enough, it's three
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: years old, but here you go.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, see Taylor, this is all you do. It's
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the only thing you know how to do.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Well that's ugly, that's gross. So it led to,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: like I said, ABC cancelor rank she was going to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: be the star. I guess she was the bachelorette of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: this new show. Big show for them, big ratings, get her,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: all that good stuff. So it's canceled. Here's my first
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: interesting takeaway. Remember context of the story. This is a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: female domestic person assaulting the male. Right, Okay, Usually shows
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: get canceled when it's obviously and clearly the male assaulting
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the female. All of it's bad, but this is interesting
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that it's coming from her and ABC canceled it. It's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: interesting that ABC, ABC Disney, by the way now jumps in.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Didn't cancel it. They must have known about this three
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: years ago. But now that the video is out there
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and the images out there, now they're canceling it. Would
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: they have canceled this program so quickly? Again, big big
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: revenue stream for them. Would they have canceled it if
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this was a few years ago when the culture was
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit different, right when it was remember Believe
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: All women, And she's saying it leaves out context. No,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I had reason to do it. H But now we're
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: in a different era and a massive media outlet, ABC
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Disney cancels this show. Excuse me, now that the whole
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: world has seen this video, that's my first thing, that's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: my first takeaway. Interesting. I'm just asking the question, would
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: they have if things hadn't been different? I don't know.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But here's the real here's the real story. And this
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: just happened this morning, as of Friday morning, as we
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: go live here, she's on Good Morning America, ABC's morning
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: news program to offer her apology or is what I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: call this always happens from celebrities and media figures and politicians,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the non apology apology. Look for the keywords here. I'm
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: sorry they felt that way leaves out context. I was
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: living my truth. Listen for the keywords here and let's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: see what they say, and then I'll tell you about
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: why she's doing this interview and why ABC wanted this
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: interview first of all, But here's she I don't want
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to hear all about your Nachelorette journey, but first I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: want to give you the opportunity.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: To respond to recent headlines the alleged domestic violence incident.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: With your ex boyfriend.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: What do you want to share with us about this? Honestly,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: it's been a heavy time to see the headlines, especially
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: during this time of the batchelor Atte being released, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be a really exciting time. I'm a
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: person that will always speak my truth and I'm you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm known for. And so when the time
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: is right, I will be But right now just trying
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: to be in the present moment and focus on this.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: But the thing is is my first My kids do
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: come first. My kids come first, and so it's.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Been except when I'm throwing a metal chair around them.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And did you hear it? Key buzzword? I always I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: speak my truth. I can't stand that term because it's
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: always used in the non apology apology from media figures.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I speak my truth. Listen, there's the truth, not your truth,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: not my There's the truth of what happened, not my truth.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: In twisted way, this is a pr thing they developed.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: They invented that term speak your truth. Yeah, okay, okay.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Why did ABC give her that interview? This was let
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: me tell you how this works. ABC, the network which
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: has The Bachelor write which so far has canceled it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: This was their last gasp chance. This was their last
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: hail Mary effort to see how this interview went, to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: see if they could salvage the program. Let's keep in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: mind again, this is a massive revenue stream for them.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: They don't really want to cancel it, and they didn't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: want to. They knew about this for three years till
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: ETMC released the video and then they had to. This
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: was their last gasp effort to try to see how
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: this went, to see how she did in this interview
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to save it so they can somehow wheasel a lot
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of uncanceling. It probably didn't go well going by that,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: if they do uncancel it, that would be something else.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: But same thing every single time, every single time. This
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: is how the media plays you. This is how they
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna well, it's my truth. My priority
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: is this. It leaves out content right sure, but they
