Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Oh, we got stuff to talk about today, my friends.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Finally we finally reached that point I think where it's
- 0:11Speaker 1: out of election stuff that's decided. Obviously a lot of
- 0:14Speaker 1: issues to talk about is the administration gets going here,
- 0:16Speaker 1: But finally we can talk about how all of this,
- 0:19Speaker 1: everything we've gone through has affected regular everyday American culture
- 0:23Speaker 1: now and boy has it anyway? Motoring through November Monday,
- 0:27Speaker 1: November eighteenth, already, good god, it's almost Thanksgiving. Thank you
- 0:31Speaker 1: for being here, everybody. I appreciate you so much. Thanks
- 0:33Speaker 1: to find a Wicked Radio audio podcast wherever you get
- 0:35Speaker 1: those a little bit later on posts by nine am
- 0:38Speaker 1: usually Eastern time, and then this lives as a replay
- 0:41Speaker 1: right here where you'll watch them later on. But in
- 0:43Speaker 1: the meantime, the good news already is Wicked Radio is
- 0:47Speaker 1: not buffering like that disaster of a Netflix fight that
- 0:51Speaker 1: happened on Friday night. We were talking about a Friday
- 0:53Speaker 1: morning remember that. Oh my god. Now they still got
- 0:56Speaker 1: a lot of viewers obviously, but boy, that was just
- 1:00Speaker 1: you know, the winner was technically Jake Paul. The winner
- 1:04Speaker 1: was you, me and everybody else that actually decided to
- 1:07Speaker 1: go to bed before this thing actually happened. Uh, not
- 1:11Speaker 1: ready for prime time was the word here. They knew
- 1:15Speaker 1: sixty million, they're claiming sixty million people watch this thing, right,
- 1:19Speaker 1: How do you not get ready for it, have the
- 1:22Speaker 1: servers up and run and getting ready to go. How
- 1:24Speaker 1: do you have of all people? One of the ringside commentators,
- 1:27Speaker 1: I didn't even know that was her, Rosie Perez. Nothing
- 1:30Speaker 1: against her, but you don't bring out the big guns
- 1:33Speaker 1: for this one, some big boxing names. Evander Holyfield was there.
- 1:36Speaker 1: It looked like it was like a sleep. And then
- 1:38Speaker 1: this thing buffered and stopped and lagged, and I will
- 1:43Speaker 1: be completely honest with you, I bailed. I didn't even see.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I did not even see till the next morning the
- 1:48Speaker 1: main card fight with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. And
- 1:50Speaker 1: apparently I didn't miss too much. Obviously saw the highlights
- 1:53Speaker 1: later on when I woke up Saturday morning. You probably
- 1:56Speaker 1: did too. You know. It's funny thing that happens as
- 1:58Speaker 1: you get a little bit older and you become I'm
- 2:00Speaker 1: a smarter consumer. You just don't. You just don't put
- 2:03Speaker 1: up with it as much. Never already heard the comments.
- 2:06Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we're so spoiled now, remember we used
- 2:08Speaker 1: to watch, you know, squiggly lined Cinemax late at night
- 2:11Speaker 1: to try to see and we put up with that
- 2:12Speaker 1: and it. Yeah, but we're smarter now, We're not spoiled.
- 2:15Speaker 1: We're smarter now. We demand more. The technology is there,
- 2:19Speaker 1: so we demand a better product. And there's nothing wrong
- 2:21Speaker 1: with that. So truth be told. I built I didn't.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I didn't watch this entire thing because it was not good.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I mean, it just they they weren't ready, and I
- 2:29Speaker 1: thought this is a great This was a great chance
- 2:32Speaker 1: for boxing to come back. It really was to bring
- 2:34Speaker 1: it back. Even though it's an exhibition fight. And yeah,
- 2:36Speaker 1: it's kind of cartoonish and Mike Tyson's like a thousand
- 2:38Speaker 1: years old and Jake Paul's a you tuber or whatever,
- 2:41Speaker 1: this was a great chance for them. Now you have
- 2:43Speaker 1: more people than ever disappointed in that. And turning to
- 2:46Speaker 1: the UFC, the biggest winner of all was the UFC,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and Dana White said at a press conference after their
- 2:52Speaker 1: main event matches and Madison Square Garden on Saturday taking
- 2:56Speaker 1: shots at boxing, and he was exactly right. But anyway,
- 2:59Speaker 1: here was the here's the final call of the fight
- 3:02Speaker 1: which happened on Netflix, which wasn't buffering. But you know,
- 3:07Speaker 1: after we go to the chutes score cards for the
- 3:11Speaker 1: official decision declaring your winner, by you doing this decision
- 3:16Speaker 1: me good, that's fine. You know, whatever it was, what
- 3:26Speaker 1: it was, they all made a lot of money, and
- 3:27Speaker 1: if you enjoyed it, that's great that you know, you
- 3:29Speaker 1: didn't have to pay anything extra if you're already a
- 3:30Speaker 1: Netflix subscriber. But I will tell you this though, This
- 3:33Speaker 1: is when you know that you've actually lost in popular culture.
- 3:36Speaker 1: You know, at the top. I had to look this
- 3:38Speaker 1: up because I saw it live when it was happening
- 3:40Speaker 1: into the undercards before I bailed, and I said, I'm
- 3:42Speaker 1: not watching this anymore. It's freezing up too much. The
- 3:45Speaker 1: top trending words online leading up to the main card
- 3:49Speaker 1: there that you just heard were these three buffering, Netflix, broken,
- 3:57Speaker 1: and unwatchable. Yeah, that's not good. If you've got an
- 4:00Speaker 1: audience expected of sixty million people, what did you like?
- 4:03Speaker 1: Get ready for it? Speaking of fights and again, all
- 4:07Speaker 1: this stuff matters. You may be saying, get to the news, bill.
- 4:10Speaker 1: This is the news. This is where you find out
- 4:13Speaker 1: what's going on society. When you find out what's going
- 4:15Speaker 1: on in sports and entertainment, you really are and what's
- 4:18Speaker 1: going on in sports and entertainment. It was a return
- 4:21Speaker 1: to Madison Square Garden for Trump and Team Trump. This
- 4:25Speaker 1: is amazing yesterday did you see this? First of all,
- 4:27Speaker 1: he gets into the arena with his crew by his
- 4:31Speaker 1: side and Dana White, who owns the UFC, or at
- 4:34Speaker 1: least he's the president anyway, he's got investors. This is
- 4:37Speaker 1: what the intro sounded like in Madison Square Garden for
- 4:39Speaker 1: President Dad, lads and chat, make you his way till
- 4:45Speaker 1: the world canas on together.
- 4:47Speaker 2: DFC CEO Tana White.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Seven.
- 4:52Speaker 1: President's last shot, please to people come home. He realized
- 5:05Speaker 1: it right away. Trump realized this probably geez, like two
- 5:08Speaker 1: years ago. Now where it's at now, you know, he's
- 5:12Speaker 1: not at the boxing match. He's at the UFC event.
- 5:15Speaker 1: That's where his you know, they used to call like
- 5:17Speaker 1: this big bloating voting block NASCAR dads, and they're still
- 5:21Speaker 1: really important. But it's the UFC bros. Mostly growing female audience,
- 5:25Speaker 1: but mostly still a male audience dominated twenty five to
- 5:29Speaker 1: like thirty five. Still mainly that that's what really probably
- 5:34Speaker 1: most likely put him over the top. And he came
- 5:36Speaker 1: back with the crew the New Avengers, the Mega Avengers there.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Did you see the whole thing? I'm sure you saw
- 5:42Speaker 1: some of the still shots of the plane flight and
- 5:44Speaker 1: them all sitting there. So Elon was there, Mike Johnson,
- 5:48Speaker 1: the Speaker of the house, he kind of looked like
- 5:50Speaker 1: the kid who was trying to sit at the cool table,
- 5:51Speaker 1: but anyway, he was there. Kid Rock was there, and
- 5:54Speaker 1: it was If you haven't seen this yet, you have
- 5:56Speaker 1: to dig it up as soon as you've done watching
- 5:59Speaker 1: being here. Later on at work, there's a picture on
- 6:02Speaker 1: Trump Force one where they're all heading to New York
- 6:05Speaker 1: and they're all sitting there and Trump's not gonna change.
- 6:08Speaker 1: He brings in the flight meal. They bring in a
- 6:11Speaker 1: whole bunch of McDonald's stuff, right, and he's eating it
- 6:14Speaker 1: and they're all eating it there, and even Elon's having
- 6:16Speaker 1: that with a with a I think it was like
- 6:17Speaker 1: a Coke zero or something. Well, who's sitting at the
- 6:20Speaker 1: table with them is RFK Jr. He was with them
- 6:24Speaker 1: to go in the fight. But there's Bobby Kennedy Junior,
- 6:28Speaker 1: who is vowed is his life mission and he's gonna
- 6:31Speaker 1: do it make America healthy again, right with a whole
- 6:34Speaker 1: table on the plane full of McDonald's in front of him,
- 6:38Speaker 1: and he's looking straight at the camera, and you know
- 6:40Speaker 1: this is Trump trolling him too, you know what it
- 6:42Speaker 1: is because he loves Bobby Kennedy, and Kennedy's staring straight
- 6:48Speaker 1: at the camera going, oh my god, I'm never gonna
- 6:50Speaker 1: live this down. As he said before that Trump just
- 6:53Speaker 1: eats crap and he's trying to make America healthy. And
- 6:55Speaker 1: there he was with all the McDonald's stuff. It was
- 6:57Speaker 1: just it was a it's a fantastic troll job, all right.
- 7:01Speaker 1: But here's what's really important. Here's why I wanted to
- 7:03Speaker 1: get to the UFC thing. And wasn't just the UFC.
- 7:06Speaker 1: It was NFL games and college games all weekend long.
- 7:11Speaker 1: And I'm sure you saw it too. I personally there
- 7:13Speaker 1: were more than this. I just personally, in highlights saw
- 7:16Speaker 1: five touchdown Trump dances. Five. You know, it was with
- 7:20Speaker 1: with the Trump dance. And if you're if you're listening
- 7:23Speaker 1: to the audio podcast, you can't really see this, but
- 7:24Speaker 1: you know exactly what I'm talking about. The dance that
- 7:26Speaker 1: became famous for trumpter in the rallies when they would
- 7:29Speaker 1: play YMCA. It has become this is why I'm saying
- 7:33Speaker 1: culture is so important. It has become ingrained in American culture,
- 7:38Speaker 1: not only at NFL and college games where they're actually
- 7:41Speaker 1: doing this and it's all on TV and they can't
- 7:43Speaker 1: cut away from it. Now. You actually had it at
- 7:46Speaker 1: that same UFC event we were talking about. In the
- 7:48Speaker 1: heavyweight match John Jones won. What did he do the
- 7:52Speaker 1: first thing when he wins? He did the Trump dance
- 7:55Speaker 1: as well. Not only that, not only that, he jumped
- 8:11Speaker 1: up out of the ring and he gave his belt,
- 8:13Speaker 1: his heavyweight UFC Heavyweight Championship belt to Trump who was
- 8:16Speaker 1: sitting there. That's when you've taken over American culture and
- 8:20Speaker 1: that's what really matters. And it only hit me till
- 8:23Speaker 1: you know, we've all been watching this stuff for years now, right,
- 8:26Speaker 1: but it only hit me until this very day, a
- 8:28Speaker 1: little bit late last night, but mostly today. Why the
- 8:32Speaker 1: Democrats are in such a meltdown mode? Why now? Are
- 8:36Speaker 1: they mad about losing the censorship industrial complex? Absolutely? Are
- 8:41Speaker 1: they mad that they're not going to be able to
- 8:42Speaker 1: create all these wars and you know, become warmongers and
- 8:46Speaker 1: just make money off that way and all the money
- 8:47Speaker 1: to Ukraine. Absolutely they are. Are they mad? That they
- 8:51Speaker 1: lost both Houses of Congress. Of course they are. But
- 8:53Speaker 1: you know why they're really mad, why they're really melting down.
- 8:58Speaker 1: They lost cool happened. This is why we're talking about
- 9:01Speaker 1: culture so much today. They lost what's considered cool. If
- 9:05Speaker 1: you have people, if you have athletes at UFC matches
- 9:08Speaker 1: and at college football games and the NFL not even
- 9:12Speaker 1: afraid of it, but doing the Trump dance for their celebrations,
- 9:15Speaker 1: when something cool happens as a victory dance, you have
- 9:19Speaker 1: won the culture. Now here's the trickle down effect. You
- 9:22Speaker 1: see things like that happen. Now you've got kids not
- 9:24Speaker 1: afraid to do it, obviously to say with their friends, yeah,
- 9:29Speaker 1: I like that Trump guy. You know kids who can't
- 9:30Speaker 1: even vote yet, you've got people at work who can
- 9:32Speaker 1: do it. You will have people in your workplace. If
- 9:34Speaker 1: you work in an office today, in a cubicle situation
- 9:36Speaker 1: or whatever it is, somebody somewhere is going to do
- 9:38Speaker 1: the Trump dance. Oh you'll see it at lunch today
- 9:40Speaker 1: or dinner. I guarantee it. It's going to happen. Culture
- 9:45Speaker 1: has changed. We talked about this Golden Renaissance coming to America.
- 9:49Speaker 1: It starts with this. That's truly why you have the
- 9:52Speaker 1: Democrats melting down. Compare the difference you have the Trump
- 9:56Speaker 1: dance for victory celebration. What's happening over there on the
- 9:59Speaker 1: left and media, what's happening? What's the number one trending thing?
- 10:02Speaker 1: You know what? You have crazy car meltdown, screaming videos.
- 10:10Speaker 1: People are putting on TikTok, that's what they have. So
- 10:13Speaker 1: you have they're shaving their heads and they'scripting all these
- 10:15Speaker 1: struggle sessions Compared to victory dances. The Democrats lost cool,
- 10:23Speaker 1: as the saying goes, they have lost their cool. Unbelievable turnaround.
- 10:27Speaker 1: And like I said, just hit me till today when
- 10:29Speaker 1: they really that's when they really really melt down. They're
- 10:32Speaker 1: losing society, not just congressional seats. They lost culture. It's
- 10:37Speaker 1: amazing thing to see, absolutely amazing. All right, let's get
- 10:41Speaker 1: a little update here. Let's get into the swamp of Washington,
- 10:44Speaker 1: d C. For a little bit, just a little bit
- 10:45Speaker 1: of a doze update, because I was kind of worried,
- 10:47Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. We didn't see Vivek at
- 10:50Speaker 1: the UFC fight. I haven't seen him speak recently. I
- 10:53Speaker 1: was a little worried about the v man. Where's Vivek?
- 10:56Speaker 1: I need my Ramaswami? What's going on him? And he
- 10:59Speaker 1: and Elon working on dose the Department of Governments efficiency?
- 11:03Speaker 1: What's up with that? Well, thankfully got a little update
- 11:06Speaker 1: on Sunday morning Maria Bartiromo show, as Vivik appeared on
- 11:10Speaker 1: that and he talked about government efficiency. You want to
- 11:13Speaker 1: talk about efficiency. They're not kidding when they say they're
- 11:16Speaker 1: going to get rid of whole department. Are you going
- 11:18Speaker 1: to be closing down departments?
- 11:19Speaker 2: We expect mass reductions. We expect certain agencies to be
- 11:22Speaker 2: deleted outright. We expect mass reductions in force in areas
- 11:26Speaker 2: of the federal government that are bloated good. We expect
- 11:28Speaker 2: massive cuts of on federal contractors and others who are
- 11:31Speaker 2: over billing the federal government. So yes, we expect all
- 11:34Speaker 2: of the above, and I think people will be surprised
- 11:36Speaker 2: by I think how quickly we're able to move with
- 11:38Speaker 2: some of those changes given the legal backdrop. The Supreme
- 11:41Speaker 2: Court has given.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Us feel much better. I was afraid they were calm
- 11:46Speaker 1: and down off slashing these bloated, disgusting, inefficient government bureaucracies.
- 11:52Speaker 1: But no, the task is still on. It was good
- 11:55Speaker 1: to see as well, and it is. I'm not going
- 11:57Speaker 1: to be surprised because once you do this, you can
- 11:59Speaker 1: actually realize how efficient you can become and get rid
- 12:01Speaker 1: of these bloated bureaucracies that are just useless. There's gonna
- 12:05Speaker 1: be a this was talking to my brother the other night.
- 12:07Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of very expensive homes in
- 12:10Speaker 1: northern Virginia for sale pretty soon when all of these
- 12:13Speaker 1: unelected tyrants that have been doing nothing in government have
- 12:17Speaker 1: to sell their homes and get just get lost. Just
- 12:21Speaker 1: this is time to get efficient and a golden opportunity.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Favek is the same guy who said, by the way,
- 12:26Speaker 1: and if we don't get this done, hold us accountable.
- 12:28Speaker 1: You absolutely should should hold us accountable for that. I
- 12:31Speaker 1: think they will get a lot of smart brains and
- 12:34Speaker 1: balls to be able to get this thing done. Here's
- 12:36Speaker 1: one other quick little update before we get into some
- 12:39Speaker 1: other media stuff here, just but I think it's an
- 12:41Speaker 1: important one. So obviously talk about Democrat meltdowns over all
- 12:44Speaker 1: the nominations for the incoming administration. Oh that's only continued.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh god, they're going to ruin my democracy. Yeah, okay, whatever,
- 12:53Speaker 1: here's a quiet one that's actually really important for you,
- 12:56Speaker 1: me and everybody else, really important. So Trump nominated for
- 13:03Speaker 1: the guy who's going to hit up the FCC, Brendan Carr.
- 13:05Speaker 1: He's an FCC commissioner right now. Here's what he's all about,
- 13:10Speaker 1: and this is why he's so important. Here's a little
- 13:12Speaker 1: example of what he had posted just recently. Brendan Carr,
- 13:16Speaker 1: who may be heading up the FCC Federal Communications Commission. Facebook, Google, Apple,
- 13:21Speaker 1: and Microsoft and others have played central roles in the
- 13:23Speaker 1: censorship cartel. The Orwellian named NewsGuard, along with fact checking
- 13:29Speaker 1: groups and ad agencies, helped enforce one sided narratives. The
- 13:32Speaker 1: censorship cartel must be dismantled. If this guy gets approved,
- 13:38Speaker 1: and they think he's going to this is FANTASTICO. This
- 13:42Speaker 1: is great news for all of us, everybody right now
- 13:46Speaker 1: watching and listening, me, you, everybody, to get real truth
- 13:50Speaker 1: and information. That's the other reason, by the way, besides
- 13:53Speaker 1: losing culture. The real reason why the Democrats are melting down.
- 13:56Speaker 1: They lost their information monopoly. As Elon likes to say,
- 14:01Speaker 1: we are the media now, all right, something else happened,
- 14:04Speaker 1: speaking of media, and this is amazing, and it just
- 14:07Speaker 1: happened this morning. This was like, if you're watching or
- 14:10Speaker 1: listening to this later on today, it happened a few
- 14:13Speaker 1: hours ago. But as we're live here in the live
- 14:16Speaker 1: stream for Wicked Radio, this is literally fresh off the
- 14:19Speaker 1: presses and it comes from the press. So MSNBC's Morning Show,
- 14:25Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever seen it, Morning Joe,
- 14:28Speaker 1: Joe Scaraburrough and Mika Brazinski. I mean it when I
- 14:32Speaker 1: tell you there's nobody in media that is more insanely
- 14:38Speaker 1: mentally deranged, like infected with Trump derangement syndrome than these two.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I mean, as insane as that network is, and this
- 14:46Speaker 1: is the one that gave us Joy Read and all
- 14:48Speaker 1: those other lunatics. There's nothing crazier than this morning show
- 14:53Speaker 1: on television. It's amazing. It's there. They're true. They're true.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Like I always make the example CNN, like you look
- 15:00Speaker 1: at like Jake Tapper, I think he knows that half
- 15:02Speaker 1: the crap they say is exactly that crap, and he
- 15:04Speaker 1: knows he's playing a part. MSNBC is where they put
- 15:08Speaker 1: the truly insane people, and Morning Joe Joe and Mika,
- 15:12Speaker 1: they are truly truly nuts. So for them to say
- 15:16Speaker 1: what they said this morning on the air, like I
- 15:18Speaker 1: said just a couple of hours ago, as we're going live,
- 15:20Speaker 1: here is an amazing emission admission of them saying what
- 15:26Speaker 1: they've been spouting for years now, close to a decade
- 15:29Speaker 1: about Trump. Number one wasn't true. And number two, they've
- 15:33Speaker 1: raised the white flag because this is their last chance.
- 15:36Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of viewers like it's always
- 15:38Speaker 1: last it's not. So the few crazy, crazy, mentally deranged
- 15:44Speaker 1: leftist liberals that actually watched them. I don't know how
- 15:47Speaker 1: they gonna take this, but they reached out to Trump
- 15:50Speaker 1: and they went to mar A Lago over the weekend
- 15:53Speaker 1: and they surprised you everybody, and they announced it this
- 15:56Speaker 1: morning live on their show. And this is long, and
- 15:59Speaker 1: it's a two parter, but you have to hear this.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Listen Number one for how Trump received them, and number
- 16:06Speaker 1: two what they're saying. Now. This is Mika explaining the
- 16:09Speaker 1: whole decision, you know, to try to appease their their
- 16:12Speaker 1: crazy audience. Here's part one.
- 16:13Speaker 3: In this meeting, President Trump was tearful, he was upbeat,
- 16:17Speaker 3: He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on
- 16:22Speaker 3: some of the most divisive issues. And for those asking
- 16:26Speaker 3: why we would go speak to the president elect during
- 16:29Speaker 3: such fraud times, especially between US, I guess I would
- 16:32Speaker 3: ask back, why wouldn't Wade?
- 16:37Speaker 1: Yeah? Why? Now? For me, the biggest takeaway was right there,
- 16:40Speaker 1: and we'll get to this in a second. Trump, as
- 16:42Speaker 1: Mika said in this meeting, was receptive. He was upbeat,
- 16:45Speaker 1: and he wanted to listen to our concerns and we
- 16:48Speaker 1: wanted to talk. That's very important, and that's really big.
- 16:52Speaker 1: So there goes the first narrative that Trump won't listen
- 16:54Speaker 1: to anybody, and he's actual hitler. These are the two.
- 16:58Speaker 1: These are the two that more than anybody in the media,
- 17:00Speaker 1: any of these knuckleheads had called Trump hitler. It was
- 17:04Speaker 1: these two. And yet he was willing to take the
- 17:07Speaker 1: meeting of the Yeah, let's talk. Have you over the house.
- 17:09Speaker 1: We'll have you Mari Lago over the weekend. A part two.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Listen to this.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Five years of political warfare has been a divided Washington
- 17:18Speaker 3: and the country. We have been as clear as we
- 17:21Speaker 3: know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump's
- 17:25Speaker 3: actions and words in the coursening of public debate, but
- 17:29Speaker 3: for nearly eighty million Americans election denialism public trials in
- 17:35Speaker 3: January sixth were not as important as the issues that
- 17:39Speaker 3: moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White
- 17:42Speaker 3: House with their vote. Joe and I realized it's time
- 17:47Speaker 3: to do something different, and that starts with not only
- 17:50Speaker 3: talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Oh, it's time for something different, all right. You just
- 17:58Speaker 1: went on close to ten years of a ti rate
- 18:00Speaker 1: of calling the guy Hitler, telling your spookeed out, mentally
- 18:04Speaker 1: deranged viewers that they're going to lose their democracy. You
- 18:08Speaker 1: push the January sixth thing over and over and over again.
- 18:11Speaker 1: You call them an election denier simply because he wanted
- 18:14Speaker 1: to look into the twenty twenty election results. All of
- 18:16Speaker 1: this crap that you just admitted that you did. To me,
- 18:19Speaker 1: they're raising a white flag and something's up. We had
- 18:22Speaker 1: the story last week, I think it was it was
- 18:23Speaker 1: probably about a week ago, maybe ten days ago. This
- 18:26Speaker 1: story came out that CNN is firing hundreds of people,
- 18:29Speaker 1: like not tens, hundreds of people because of this, because
- 18:32Speaker 1: their ratings are gone and NBC is for sale. Is
- 18:35Speaker 1: this all part of that whole not to sell to Trump,
- 18:38Speaker 1: but to throw a I don't know, throw a lifesaver
- 18:42Speaker 1: out there into the ocean, to try to tell potential
- 18:45Speaker 1: buyers that we're more than willing to like, not be
- 18:48Speaker 1: so crazy. That's what I think this is, I really do.
- 18:51Speaker 1: And then then to go on and to give the
- 18:52Speaker 1: details this morning about what they're meeting at mar a
- 18:54Speaker 1: Lago with Trump was like, I think that telling potential
- 18:57Speaker 1: buyers we were wrong. I think they weighed raised a
- 19:00Speaker 1: white flag that said we were wrong. They didn't admit
- 19:03Speaker 1: they're crazy, and just to appease their crazy viewers, they said,
- 19:07Speaker 1: you know, despite the election denialism January sixth, that wasn't
- 19:11Speaker 1: important enough because almost eighty million Americans still voted for
- 19:14Speaker 1: this guy that we hate, but we still like to
- 19:16Speaker 1: go to Marlaco. That's what I think is happening here.
- 19:19Speaker 1: But again, it's very quietly a really big moment in
- 19:24Speaker 1: media because I think a lot of this is gonna change.
- 19:27Speaker 1: I think a lot of this has changed. You would
- 19:28Speaker 1: have thought after Trump's first administration that the media would
- 19:33Speaker 1: have realized, you know what, this a lot of people
- 19:36Speaker 1: voted for this guy. There's actually a business model with
- 19:40Speaker 1: half or more than half of the country where they
- 19:42Speaker 1: just want straight news. Maybe well two terms later, maybe
- 19:47Speaker 1: they're finally waking up to that and realizing maybe I
- 19:50Speaker 1: don't know. My main takeaway is I think they're for sale,
- 19:54Speaker 1: and I think that that was a test balloon for
- 19:56Speaker 1: potential buyers to say, you know, we cannot be so
- 19:59Speaker 1: crazy if we try. And the second thing is is this,
- 20:03Speaker 1: here's our first takeaway today. You know, when you try
- 20:06Speaker 1: to figure out there's a little trick I always use
- 20:07Speaker 1: when I try to figure out what's going on in
- 20:09Speaker 1: media or culture or society or the news or the headlines. Right,
- 20:13Speaker 1: just personalize it. Don't take things personally, but personalize it.
- 20:17Speaker 1: So in this example, it's a pretty good example because
- 20:19Speaker 1: they actually are a couple. Mika and Joe are actually
- 20:22Speaker 1: like married. Okay, so this example works. Let's consider them.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Pretend for a second that they are the they're the
- 20:29Speaker 1: couple down the street, they're next door or two houses away,
- 20:33Speaker 1: that has tried for eight years to turn you into
- 20:35Speaker 1: the hoa and they've been awful to you, and they've
- 20:38Speaker 1: started rumors about you. It's good examples so far, right,
- 20:41Speaker 1: but it didn't work, and you won the lawsuit or
- 20:44Speaker 1: you won the hearing with the HOA. Nobody likes them.
- 20:47Speaker 1: They're completely isolated, but they still have to live in
- 20:49Speaker 1: the neighborhood and they still have to deal with you.
- 20:51Speaker 1: So they come over and they bring a pie to
- 20:54Speaker 1: make amends. Now, what's your response, And in this case,
- 20:58Speaker 1: we would be like Trump, what's your response to the
- 21:00Speaker 1: for them trying to, like, you know, offer some offer
- 21:03Speaker 1: the peace pipe or peace pie. Do you accept it?
- 21:07Speaker 1: Do you make nice? Yeah, of course you do. Wait
- 21:11Speaker 1: if you can, right, it's the best possible move because
- 21:15Speaker 1: Trump knows he's got all the leverage. And number two,
- 21:18Speaker 1: they had to say it on the air, he's the
- 21:20Speaker 1: nice guy, upbeat, willing to listen and to talk. Right,
- 21:25Speaker 1: So what's the takeaway when someone's even awful to you,
- 21:27Speaker 1: even go so far as to call you actual hitler
- 21:30Speaker 1: and say he's gonna steal your democracy. If they realize
- 21:34Speaker 1: they lost him, they try to make sense. Do you
- 21:36Speaker 1: make nice with them?
- 21:38Speaker 3: Sure?
- 21:39Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you have to trust him, but you still
- 21:41Speaker 1: make nice with him because you can always tell yourself
- 21:43Speaker 1: you're the bigger and better person. And that's our main takeaway,
- 21:47Speaker 1: like always, Our second takeaway is don't take any crap
- 21:50Speaker 1: from anybody either. It doesn't mean you have to. Thanks
- 21:52Speaker 1: for finding me. I appreciate you as always. All Right, already,
- 21:54Speaker 1: a busy week. Tomorrow is going to be interesting, very interesting.
- 21:58Speaker 1: I think Trump has a press conference today, I believe
- 22:00Speaker 1: about mass deportations and some of the nuts and bolts
- 22:03Speaker 1: of that. So I can imagine how that's going to
- 22:05Speaker 1: be received. But we'll talk about it as well as
- 22:08Speaker 1: anything else happening in these American United States of ours.
- 22:11Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. Thanks for finding the audio podcast too,
- 22:14Speaker 1: wherever you get those, that'll be posted very soon, and
- 22:17Speaker 1: this lives as a replay later on wherever you're watching
- 22:19Speaker 1: right now, So appreciate your time as always. I hope
- 22:21Speaker 1: it was an awesome weekend. I hope you're still not
- 22:23Speaker 1: trying to buffer Netflix and get that fight underway. It's
- 22:25Speaker 1: Jake Paul one. All right, have a great one. Thanks
- 22:28Speaker 1: for hanging out with me. I have a wicked, awesome day.
