- 0:15Speaker 1: many years. It's like to try to do anything remotely.
- 0:18Speaker 1: It was such a huge, huge deal, Like it was massive.
- 0:21Speaker 1: You'd have to arrive early and you have this is
- 0:23Speaker 1: how far back it was. To get all your information
- 0:25Speaker 1: and music logs. You'd have to find a fax machine
- 0:28Speaker 1: and then you'd have to find an ISDN line, and
- 0:30Speaker 1: then you'd have to have all this broadcast equipment that
- 0:33Speaker 1: came in big heavy silver crates. What do you do now?
- 0:37Speaker 1: Found a conference room, my remote gear, a laptop, and
- 0:40Speaker 1: an Internet connection. Let's go and don't forget to test
- 0:43Speaker 1: it out. I did this live stream from the woods once,
- 0:46Speaker 1: so never forget that to prove we could do it.
- 0:48Speaker 1: So well, here we are. Thanks for finding wik of Radio.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Appreciate you so much. I guess some New York stories
- 0:52Speaker 1: for you as well as some headlines coming up. It
- 0:54Speaker 1: wasn't just me coming to New York City yesterday. Tom
- 0:57Speaker 1: Holman brought his ice team to All Beneath the Cap
- 1:00Speaker 1: but New York yesterday, and that brought us a new
- 1:02Speaker 1: character in the ice protest game. Will you hear about
- 1:04Speaker 1: this guy? And he also happens to be running for
- 1:07Speaker 1: mayor of New York City. It's uh, it's quite a treat.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And we also have this one to talk about. You know,
- 1:14Speaker 1: it was gonna come to this. We had a trans
- 1:17Speaker 1: tussle over pronouns and how to properly address a trans
- 1:21Speaker 1: congress person in the halls of Congress in a breakout session.
- 1:26Speaker 1: It actually happened, and there was yelling and screaming, banging
- 1:29Speaker 1: of a gavel. It was amazing. We got that to
- 1:31Speaker 1: cover as well. But my favorite story of the day,
- 1:34Speaker 1: not really favorite, it's just the one I'm most fascinated by.
- 1:37Speaker 1: We've talked about him a little. The slow progression of
- 1:41Speaker 1: what the hell happened to comedian Bill Burr who used
- 1:45Speaker 1: to be And it really wasn't that long ago when
- 1:48Speaker 1: Bill Burr first started out, you know, Boston comedian might
- 1:52Speaker 1: have been like the most anti woke personality I've never heard,
- 1:55Speaker 1: I've ever heard in my life. He's the exact opposite
- 1:59Speaker 1: of Now some of the stuff he's saying now now,
- 2:02Speaker 1: like everything else with Elon derangement syndrome, Elon is the
- 2:04Speaker 1: target of most of his of most of his ire
- 2:07Speaker 1: now in his comments. But the stuff he's saying it
- 2:09Speaker 1: is so off base, it's just insane. But we'll talk
- 2:12Speaker 1: about him as well, but let's get rid of some
- 2:14Speaker 1: details first. Thanks for finding Wicked Radio. Appreciate you live
- 2:16Speaker 1: stream even on the road every single day right here
- 2:19Speaker 1: about eight a m. Eastern time on x mostly and
- 2:22Speaker 1: then on Facebook and on YouTube and the audio podcast.
- 2:25Speaker 1: This's gonna be interesting today. It should be fine, but
- 2:28Speaker 1: it should post just about nine am Eastern time, where
- 2:32Speaker 1: it usually does wherever you prefer to get your podcasts,
- 2:34Speaker 1: so that'll be coming up as well. All right, let's
- 2:36Speaker 1: get to it. Got some New York stories for you.
- 2:38Speaker 1: So we had talked about this a couple of months
- 2:41Speaker 1: ago when the fights were happening over it, and then
- 2:43Speaker 1: they instituted it right here in New York City. Other
- 2:46Speaker 1: cities as well, but obviously things happening in New York,
- 2:48Speaker 1: it's going to get most of the attention. Congestion pricing,
- 2:53Speaker 1: here's what it is. And you live out of New
- 2:55Speaker 1: York you're not really familiar with the term, and I
- 2:57Speaker 1: had to look up, look up really what they were
- 2:59Speaker 1: trying to do as well anybody that lives here or
- 3:02Speaker 1: coming into the city. You get charged for the amount
- 3:04Speaker 1: of time you're driving, like literally by the time and distance,
- 3:08Speaker 1: and they do it by the license plate, and they
- 3:11Speaker 1: pick up the license plate, you know, and they and
- 3:13Speaker 1: they charge you for a certain amount of time because
- 3:15Speaker 1: it can track where you're going. So the natural result
- 3:18Speaker 1: of that is people try to cover the license plates
- 3:21Speaker 1: like they have a like a little plastic thing that
- 3:23Speaker 1: comes up over it. Or this is happening too. And
- 3:25Speaker 1: you see signs all over the place coming out of
- 3:27Speaker 1: the airport and we're coming out of LaGuardia yesterday illegal
- 3:31Speaker 1: plate or fraudulent plate maximum fine. So people are buying
- 3:37Speaker 1: plates that don't really exist to cover it so they
- 3:39Speaker 1: don't get charge, blah blah blah whatever. So that's all happening,
- 3:42Speaker 1: and you're aware of it, and the signs are everywhere, right,
- 3:45Speaker 1: So we're gone the Triborough Bridge coming out of the
- 3:48Speaker 1: airport into Manhattan, and the bridge is now called the
- 3:51Speaker 1: RFK Bridge, ironically enough, after Bobby Kennedy Senior. That is
- 3:57Speaker 1: and we're in the taxi cab, the family and I
- 4:00Speaker 1: and we come across this slow down in the driver.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Now I'm in the front seat, everybody else is in
- 4:04Speaker 1: the bag. The driver goes up, oh boy, checkpoint. My
- 4:08Speaker 1: mind first of all went to wow, I wonder if
- 4:11Speaker 1: this is like an ice checkpoint. I wonder if they're
- 4:13Speaker 1: like stopping to see if like this is any illegal immigration.
- 4:16Speaker 1: And I just kind of stayed silent, and we come
- 4:19Speaker 1: up on it. This is the middle of the bridge.
- 4:20Speaker 1: This is both directions, complete standstill, and there were a
- 4:25Speaker 1: car and the cab driver starts telling the story. He goes, boy,
- 4:28Speaker 1: you just missed it. Though if you had arrived, if
- 4:30Speaker 1: you'd gotten into this cab maybe ten minutes later, you'd
- 4:34Speaker 1: be backed up probably forty five minutes. He said, really,
- 4:38Speaker 1: is that right? Is it that bad? He goes, oh yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 1: and he starts telling me the story about the congestion, pricing,
- 4:44Speaker 1: the fight that went into it, and people trying to
- 4:46Speaker 1: get out of it, including cab drivers like himself, and
- 4:49Speaker 1: what they're doing now to do it. Now I'm looking
- 4:51Speaker 1: at this and I said, checkpoint like every day. He goes,
- 4:53Speaker 1: oh yeah. Different parts of the bridge all over the
- 4:56Speaker 1: city checkpoints to try to nab people with big fines
- 5:01Speaker 1: if you have illegal plates or you're trying to get
- 5:02Speaker 1: out of the congestion pricing. He says this. Now I'm
- 5:05Speaker 1: looking at it, and I see on our side just
- 5:07Speaker 1: ahead there were four cop cars. There were about ten cops.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I look at the other side there were two tow trucks,
- 5:13Speaker 1: same amount of cops and cop cars. And I said
- 5:16Speaker 1: to him, now, with this amount of manpower, I can
- 5:19Speaker 1: imagine every day what they're putting into it. Doesn't that
- 5:22Speaker 1: like doesn't that kind of like offset the price of
- 5:26Speaker 1: what they're trying to save here with congestion. He goes,
- 5:28Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah. And then he tells me the story.
- 5:30Speaker 1: And this is a cab I said to him, this
- 5:31Speaker 1: is going to be kind of tough on you guys, right,
- 5:33Speaker 1: this is a cab driver, his livelihood. They own, you know,
- 5:38Speaker 1: the licenses to have this, that's their personal business. It
- 5:40Speaker 1: was a great guy, and he told me the story
- 5:42Speaker 1: about what went into it, and the citizens of this city,
- 5:48Speaker 1: cab drivers, delivery people, everybody that tried to fight this
- 5:52Speaker 1: for it was going on like a year and a half,
- 5:55Speaker 1: said I went to city Commission meetings. Myself told him
- 5:58Speaker 1: my story and I told him that the subways no say,
- 6:00Speaker 1: and I've had a gun pulled on me. Oh, he's
- 6:01Speaker 1: telling me the whole story. But this is the party, said,
- 6:04Speaker 1: he goes. But they didn't. They didn't care, nothing like
- 6:06Speaker 1: it was all or not. They had decided this like
- 6:09Speaker 1: a year ago, that this was gonna happen. And then
- 6:11Speaker 1: he said something really interesting, and this is where I
- 6:13Speaker 1: agreed with him. Especially he said, but it's amazing. With
- 6:17Speaker 1: all the things in this city, it's a cab driver.
- 6:19Speaker 1: You want to know what's going on in any particular area,
- 6:21Speaker 1: listen to cab driver, talk to them, or delivery people,
- 6:24Speaker 1: people that are in contact with a lot of people
- 6:26Speaker 1: in this city. He said, it's the most unifying issue
- 6:29Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. Everybody is against it
- 6:32Speaker 1: except the politicians. And I thought, that's amazing. That's true.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Maybe it comes to something like this in a city
- 6:38Speaker 1: this massive to unify people and bring them together. And
- 6:41Speaker 1: that's exactly what he said. He doesn't think it's going away.
- 6:44Speaker 1: My thought is, you know what, if that many people
- 6:46Speaker 1: are against it, it's something that's got to give. Because
- 6:49Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's ridiculous. And if you live out
- 6:52Speaker 1: of a big city like that, like I do. You know,
- 6:54Speaker 1: back home in Florida, we don't deal with this, or
- 6:56Speaker 1: other states or southern states or out west. But they're
- 6:59Speaker 1: looking at it, you know, Chicago, La, Philly, Boston, they're
- 7:03Speaker 1: all looking at congestion pricing to see how it's going on,
- 7:05Speaker 1: how much backlash they're getting. So the backlash that's happening
- 7:09Speaker 1: right here, it's really important to make sure we don't
- 7:11Speaker 1: a lot I'll have to deal with this, But there
- 7:13Speaker 1: we are. That's my New York story so far. So far,
- 7:15Speaker 1: we've just gotten here. Wasn't just me coming to New
- 7:18Speaker 1: York yesterday. You know who else did? Tom Holman, director
- 7:22Speaker 1: of Ice, didn't come to the city, but he went
- 7:24Speaker 1: to Albany, the capitol of New York. I guess he
- 7:26Speaker 1: was trying to explain exactly what was happening in the efforts.
- 7:29Speaker 1: He wanted to talk to Congress people. He was there
- 7:31Speaker 1: with a big team. Well, out of this meeting, we
- 7:33Speaker 1: got a new character. We've got a new guy to
- 7:35Speaker 1: talk about. You ready for this. His name is Zoran Mandani,
- 7:40Speaker 1: Zorn Mandani. You're gonna get to know him a lot
- 7:43Speaker 1: because he's loud, and he's running from mayor of this city,
- 7:48Speaker 1: New York. He's a congress person, he's an assemblyman from
- 7:51Speaker 1: I think it's like the Queens area. So now that
- 7:55Speaker 1: Tom Holman from ICE was there, Zoran Mandani used that
- 7:59Speaker 1: as a chain. It's to grandstand before all the cameras
- 8:01Speaker 1: and all of these protesters that were in that building
- 8:04Speaker 1: of the Capitol building in New York. And this is
- 8:06Speaker 1: not just a Northeast story. This is this is a
- 8:08Speaker 1: national story. And the way Tom Holman responded to it
- 8:11Speaker 1: was pretty amazing. But get to know and that there's
- 8:15Speaker 1: a lot of people involved in this. Zoorn Mandani leading
- 8:18Speaker 1: the protests against ICE. This is some of the this
- 8:22Speaker 1: is some of the stuff he was yelling at Tom Holman.
- 8:24Speaker 1: And then he explains why he did it. And he
- 8:26Speaker 1: had a little press conference after the fact.
- 8:30Speaker 2: When we asked Tom Holman, all he had to answer
- 8:34Speaker 2: for that cruelty was a smirk, because there is no
- 8:38Speaker 2: answer for taking a man from his pregnant wife who
- 8:41Speaker 2: is doing to deliver their newborn childhood.
- 8:43Speaker 1: All right, again, that guy there is Zorn Mandani. He's
- 8:48Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna make a lot of noise. He's gonna
- 8:50Speaker 1: run from mayor of New York. His big thing now
- 8:51Speaker 1: is gonna be immigration, but not just not just what
- 8:55Speaker 1: he's claiming to be, taking people with without any civil liberties,
- 8:59Speaker 1: take them out of their homes and separating children, and
- 9:02Speaker 1: doesn't mention the illegal criminals and the criminal activity and
- 9:04Speaker 1: all the stuff that Tom Holmes focusing on. Didn't talk
- 9:06Speaker 1: about that, But he talked about a certain person taking
- 9:09Speaker 1: a man from his pregnant wife. You know who he
- 9:11Speaker 1: was talking about. This is where it involves another character,
- 9:14Speaker 1: Mock Mood. I'm sorry it's pronounced Mach mood Khalil. Heard
- 9:19Speaker 1: that name. This is the guy that Ice is trying
- 9:22Speaker 1: to deport. Who's mackmod Khalil that Zorn mentioned right there.
- 9:28Speaker 1: He's the organizer of all the Columbia University protests. You
- 9:32Speaker 1: might remember those, remember not too long ago, right where
- 9:34Speaker 1: they kept Jewish kids from entering classrooms. This was over
- 9:38Speaker 1: the war and Israel and Gaza and what's happening here,
- 9:41Speaker 1: which very quickly, let's not forget this. Zorn also didn't
- 9:44Speaker 1: mention this one, which very quickly turned into pro hamas rallies,
- 9:48Speaker 1: which you still see a lot around here and some
- 9:51Speaker 1: other cities across the country. That's who he's talking about.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, though Zorn didn't talk about the criminal activity.
- 9:58Speaker 1: They didn't talk about the criminals that they're taking out
- 10:00Speaker 1: of jails right here, organized criminal activity and gang leaders
- 10:05Speaker 1: that they have in jail throughout state of New York,
- 10:07Speaker 1: because that's where he's from, but also happening throughout the country.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Didn't talk about that. This character Zorn, who's running from
- 10:14Speaker 1: mayor of this city, You're gonna hear from that guy
- 10:17Speaker 1: a lot pretty soon. He's going to make a lot
- 10:19Speaker 1: of noise, and he certainly did yesterday literally and figuratively. Now.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Tom Holman, director of IZ, he was there. He was
- 10:26Speaker 1: talking to some assemblymen, he was talking to Congressman. He
- 10:28Speaker 1: was talking to the Governor of New York. This is
- 10:31Speaker 1: a guy. Now you understand it. Now I understand it
- 10:34Speaker 1: the way he handled it yesterday. First of all, he's
- 10:38Speaker 1: got the experience from working on the border, right, but
- 10:41Speaker 1: this is a guy. You know that expression DGAF don't
- 10:45Speaker 1: give a you know what? Yeah, this guy was the
- 10:48Speaker 1: definition of it. So at some point he had to
- 10:51Speaker 1: walk passed twice the protesters and this Zoran guy that
- 10:56Speaker 1: was yelling things like that at him, didn't give it,
- 11:00Speaker 1: you know what. But he also was by design. I
- 11:05Speaker 1: think he was chewing on an apple at the time,
- 11:08Speaker 1: like looking at all of them like straight in the face,
- 11:10Speaker 1: and walking and walking as slow as he possibly could
- 11:13Speaker 1: until he got a chance to do his press conference.
- 11:16Speaker 1: I think that's a big reason why, besides experience, why
- 11:18Speaker 1: Trump picked that guy to do it, Because I don't
- 11:21Speaker 1: think he's a guy you pick a fight with. I
- 11:23Speaker 1: really don't. He really doesn't give a you know what.
- 11:26Speaker 1: He's gonna stay true to his mission, whether we agree
- 11:29Speaker 1: with it, whether you agree with it, whether they agree
- 11:31Speaker 1: with it or not. That's not a guy that's gonna
- 11:34Speaker 1: back down of deporting illegal criminals into this country. And
- 11:38Speaker 1: then he had his press conference. So Tom Holman got
- 11:41Speaker 1: a chance to answer reporters and they were throwing everything
- 11:44Speaker 1: at him while the while the protesters were still in
- 11:46Speaker 1: the background, and they asked him about the separation of
- 11:49Speaker 1: family's issue, and he had a pretty smart answer to this.
- 11:53Speaker 1: This is what Tom Holman said, But you want to.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Talk about family separation, a half a million children and
- 11:58Speaker 2: Joe Biden were trafficking in this country. They can't find
- 12:01Speaker 2: three hundred thousand of them. That's a separation.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Pretty good answer and whether or not you agree with it,
- 12:06Speaker 1: And there were no follow up answers, And that's how
- 12:08Speaker 1: you know it's a good answer to a question. When
- 12:10Speaker 1: these politicians or leaders or people like Tom Holman, you know,
- 12:14Speaker 1: do a press conference when there's no follow up question
- 12:16Speaker 1: to the issue he was just talking about, that's when
- 12:19Speaker 1: you know he answered it pretty well. So but again,
- 12:22Speaker 1: the takeaway on this, Zoorun Mandani running for New York mayor.
- 12:26Speaker 1: You're gonna hear a lot about that guy here pretty soon.
- 12:29Speaker 1: So get to know him. I guess son don't know,
- 12:31Speaker 1: but listen to what he listen to what he didn't
- 12:33Speaker 1: talk about, because that'll tell you the whole story. Well,
- 12:35Speaker 1: you know what's gonna come to this This also happened
- 12:37Speaker 1: and won't be all politics here. We'll get to the
- 12:39Speaker 1: Bill Burr story here in just a little bit. We
- 12:41Speaker 1: have a I'm calling it at the I'm calling at
- 12:43Speaker 1: the transgender tussle of twenty twenty five. You know it
- 12:47Speaker 1: was going to come to this, yeh, at some point.
- 12:49Speaker 1: It's not just in business, you know, where HR departments
- 12:52Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out what to do with the
- 12:54Speaker 1: transgender issue. We went to the pronouns and all the
- 12:57Speaker 1: woke stuff, and then coming off the woke stuff, you
- 13:00Speaker 1: knew it was going to reach the halls of Congress
- 13:03Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. At some point in time, and
- 13:05Speaker 1: this is right about in time. So now we have this.
- 13:09Speaker 1: You thought the previous story with all these characters was confusing.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Where do you hear this one? We got three involved
- 13:14Speaker 1: in this. The first one is one you may have
- 13:18Speaker 1: heard of, maybe not, Representative Sarah McBride, congress person from
- 13:25Speaker 1: the state of Delaware. Now Sarah didn't come into the
- 13:29Speaker 1: world as Sarah. Sarah was Tim McBride. Yeah, so made
- 13:34Speaker 1: some history, you know, after November and made a lot
- 13:36Speaker 1: of headlines. The first trans person to be elected to Congress,
- 13:39Speaker 1: you know, openly, it makes no bones about that. That
- 13:44Speaker 1: was born biologically male, you know, no big deal, you know.
- 13:47Speaker 1: But is a Democrat. You might imagine that. So is
- 13:52Speaker 1: also in a panel and a subcommittee. Right in the
- 13:56Speaker 1: panel and subcommittee, we have two other characters, another Representative
- 14:01Speaker 1: Keith self, he's from Texas, and another one, Bill Keating,
- 14:05Speaker 1: he's from Massachusetts. Now, when it comes to the transgender issue,
- 14:11Speaker 1: and you've got trans members of Congress now, which isn't
- 14:13Speaker 1: gonna stop. This is just the first one. How do
- 14:17Speaker 1: you think it's gonna break down between Texas and Massachusetts? Yeah,
- 14:22Speaker 1: Texas on the right, my right, your left, and Massachusetts
- 14:25Speaker 1: on the far left. How do you think those representatives
- 14:28Speaker 1: are going to handle the issue? I think it's a
- 14:30Speaker 1: case where everybody's wrong, like all of them, not even
- 14:35Speaker 1: the least important character in this entire story is Sarah McBride,
- 14:40Speaker 1: the trans congress person. Because it came down to a fight,
- 14:43Speaker 1: the transgender tussle between Keith self Massachusetts and Bill Keating
- 14:48Speaker 1: from Texas and how you address congress Person Sarah McBride,
- 14:52Speaker 1: see where I'm going with this. So this is what
- 14:56Speaker 1: Keith So this is what Keith self from Texas did,
- 15:00Speaker 1: obviously to make a statement, to start a fight, right,
- 15:03Speaker 1: but to continue the fight, Bill self from Massachusetts pushed
- 15:06Speaker 1: back on it. Representative Self from Texas called Sarah McBride, sir,
- 15:12Speaker 1: and him and the man you know male gender pronouns. Well,
- 15:17Speaker 1: Bill Keating from Massachusetts was all up in arms over that,
- 15:20Speaker 1: and he wasn't having it. And that's, my friends, what
- 15:23Speaker 1: led to the transgender tussle in Congress. Mister chairman, have
- 15:27Speaker 1: you no decency? I mean I have come to know
- 15:31Speaker 1: you a little bit, but this is not decent. We
- 15:33Speaker 1: will continue this.
- 15:34Speaker 2: You will not continue it with me unless you introduce
- 15:37Speaker 2: a duly elected representative the right way.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And the gavel banged. I've listened to this and I've
- 15:46Speaker 1: seen that video probably like ten times, and to try
- 15:48Speaker 1: to figure out exactly is anybody in the right, I mean, honestly,
- 15:53Speaker 1: Keith sell from Texas. Obviously, now you may agree with
- 15:55Speaker 1: the issue, and exactly where he's going with this, he's ridiculous.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I'm gonna call him by his biological birthright, all right,
- 16:01Speaker 1: I MA, I agree with that. That's fine, But okay,
- 16:04Speaker 1: there's no argument he's trying to make an issue of it. Right,
- 16:06Speaker 1: He's starting the fight. I mean, we know that's obvious, right,
- 16:08Speaker 1: But also who's continuing the fight? The guy from Massachusetts,
- 16:11Speaker 1: Bill Keating, is no doubt about it. And you know
- 16:14Speaker 1: who's continuing the fight anymore and actually benefiting from it,
- 16:17Speaker 1: congress Person Sarah McBride because sorry, she tweets out. I'm
- 16:23Speaker 1: sorry posts out yesterday. No matter how I'm treated by
- 16:26Speaker 1: some colleagues, nothing diminishes my awe gratitude and getting to
- 16:30Speaker 1: represent Delaware in Congress, and I'll do my best. Well,
- 16:34Speaker 1: this is becoming your defining characteristic. How is that serving
- 16:37Speaker 1: your people in Congress? I think we've actually with the
- 16:39Speaker 1: transgender tussle in Congress. I think we've actually found a
- 16:42Speaker 1: situation where no one is right. Honestly, but you knew
- 16:46Speaker 1: it was come to this. You just knew it would
- 16:48Speaker 1: because that's where we are right now. She's not gonna
- 16:51Speaker 1: be the first one, not gonna be the first trans
- 16:52Speaker 1: member of Congress elected. What's gonna happen when the Republicans
- 16:56Speaker 1: have some That's gonna be awesome. See, I'm made it
- 17:01Speaker 1: for the entertainment value. All of this is so insane
- 17:04Speaker 1: and as a society we haven't figured out any of
- 17:05Speaker 1: it yet. So I just love the I love the
- 17:07Speaker 1: entertainment aspect of it. All Right, we got some celebrity
- 17:10Speaker 1: news to talk about. But is it celebrity news or
- 17:14Speaker 1: is it a mental health issue? Is is it a
- 17:20Speaker 1: conspiracy theory where a lot of people have said that
- 17:22Speaker 1: a lot of these entertainers that we know and love
- 17:24Speaker 1: and grew up with are compromised. Is that it is
- 17:28Speaker 1: somebody get to them. Are they blacklisted unless they say
- 17:31Speaker 1: certain things and talk about certain things? Maybe maybe all
- 17:34Speaker 1: of this is true, or just maybe is this one
- 17:38Speaker 1: giant marketing ploy or is this something going on in
- 17:41Speaker 1: this personal life? I don't know. Who are we talking about?
- 17:44Speaker 1: Talking about comedian Bill Burr. Now, Bill Burr's background Boston
- 17:49Speaker 1: based comedian, made it big. He's got some Netflix specials,
- 17:52Speaker 1: I think Showtime specialists as well. What's interesting about this
- 17:56Speaker 1: is Bill Burr came on the scene as probably the
- 18:02Speaker 1: least woke comedian entertainer you could ever find, right, didn't care,
- 18:07Speaker 1: would take shots at everybody and anybody, and wasn't offended
- 18:10Speaker 1: by anything. You would make fun of people who were
- 18:12Speaker 1: actually offended by anything. Right. Well, now he's and I
- 18:16Speaker 1: found this. I didn't know he was doing this. So
- 18:18Speaker 1: it's Bill Burr's I think it's the Monday Morning podcast,
- 18:22Speaker 1: which is where the audio is from that you're gonna
- 18:24Speaker 1: hear right here. He gets into a lot of heavy stuff,
- 18:27Speaker 1: swear like more politics and more issues than I do.
- 18:30Speaker 1: That's for sure, not putting myself in that category, but
- 18:33Speaker 1: still it's interesting when you hear a comedian get that
- 18:35Speaker 1: heavy into stuff and he really does. He'll talk about
- 18:38Speaker 1: sports and stuff and you know, some lighter stuff, but
- 18:41Speaker 1: he's pretty heavily involved now. But what he said now
- 18:45Speaker 1: he first made the scene. We talked about this probably
- 18:47Speaker 1: a month and a half ago. He's been every single
- 18:50Speaker 1: interview he does, every single video he does, he'll end
- 18:53Speaker 1: it or he'll fit in as often as he can
- 18:55Speaker 1: free Luigi. Luigi being the guy that shot the United
- 19:00Speaker 1: Healthcare CEO right here down the street in New York City,
- 19:02Speaker 1: shot him in the back. Bilb Burr made some headlines
- 19:06Speaker 1: for saying, you know, it's a good thing that he
- 19:09Speaker 1: did it, Free Luigi. He fits that in every single
- 19:13Speaker 1: interview he does, every single one of them. You'll hear it.
- 19:16Speaker 1: But now he's got a new target. His target is Elon.
- 19:19Speaker 1: This has been like the theme of every single pod
- 19:22Speaker 1: we've done this week. Elon derangement syndrome is a thing.
- 19:26Speaker 1: It's like everybody, I think they think they can't get
- 19:28Speaker 1: to Trump, but they're targeting everything they possibly can on Elon.
- 19:33Speaker 1: It's been the Tesla dealerships taking on the Tesla stock
- 19:36Speaker 1: him personally, all that stuff. This is so unhinged and
- 19:41Speaker 1: so unlike Bill Burr. The actually kind of took me
- 19:44Speaker 1: back a little bit. You know, I was kind of
- 19:45Speaker 1: shocked by this Bill Burr on this Monday morning podcast
- 19:49Speaker 1: he does talking about and it's just finally making the
- 19:51Speaker 1: rounds now talking about Elon. I tried to get all
- 19:54Speaker 1: the F bombs out of the here I possibly could.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I think I got them all. But this is what
- 19:58Speaker 1: he said, just.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Like Hitler, a fun baby. But the fact that the
- 20:03Speaker 3: Twitter guy is he's not even from here. He's from
- 20:05Speaker 3: South Africa. He comes to this country and wants to
- 20:09Speaker 3: turn it into a dictatorship. He doesn't feel that we
- 20:12Speaker 3: deserve democracy. Can you.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Where did that come from? First of all, that's taken
- 20:19Speaker 1: one of his that's taken a shot at Elon being
- 20:22Speaker 1: from So he's an American resident by the way, But
- 20:25Speaker 1: you don't like that he came from South America and
- 20:27Speaker 1: made a life here and built a business here and
- 20:30Speaker 1: made such an impact here, Bill against immigrants? Is that
- 20:33Speaker 1: what you're saying here, That's what somebody should say to
- 20:35Speaker 1: push back on him. But also he made that statement
- 20:38Speaker 1: right after, immediately after talking about the Elon thing. Remember
- 20:42Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, Remember he was waving to
- 20:44Speaker 1: the crowd like this and they said it was a
- 20:46Speaker 1: Nazi salute just so rare. So what no Republicans or
- 20:50Speaker 1: Conservatives can raise their arm above their waist, It's going
- 20:53Speaker 1: to be called a Nazi salute. Really, like people still
- 20:55Speaker 1: believe that. So that's coming off of that. And then
- 20:57Speaker 1: says it's a dictatorship, and he and it went on
- 21:01Speaker 1: for a while. I don't have the space to actually
- 21:02Speaker 1: talk about the entire thing what he said. This is
- 21:05Speaker 1: like a different human being, Like I was talking to
- 21:08Speaker 1: somebody yesterday about this, because now it's starting to like
- 21:10Speaker 1: get a lot of traction. Bill Burr of like ten
- 21:13Speaker 1: years ago would have hated Bill Burr. Now it's like
- 21:17Speaker 1: a completely different person. It really is like he never
- 21:21Speaker 1: used to get involved with this stuff and he would
- 21:23Speaker 1: actually take shots at any anybody that actually disagreed with him,
- 21:27Speaker 1: but to take it, but to you know, focus all
- 21:30Speaker 1: your energy like on Elon and Free Luigi and all
- 21:33Speaker 1: this stuff. It begs the question there's two possibilities here.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he's just had a change of heart,
- 21:40Speaker 1: who he's married to, what his life is like being
- 21:42Speaker 1: in Hollywood that long, I don't know. Here's the conspiracy theory.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I mentioned there. I'm not discounting it. A lot of
- 21:49Speaker 1: people have said for years that Hollywood celebrities as we
- 21:53Speaker 1: know them, say a lot of the stuff they do right,
- 21:55Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff they do and get behind
- 21:57Speaker 1: causes because they have to, because they want to keep working.
- 22:00Speaker 1: I've had this happened twice to me, where I've talked
- 22:03Speaker 1: off the record to some pretty well known people who
- 22:06Speaker 1: have told me, and they don't even know each other,
- 22:08Speaker 1: completely off the record, where they said Hollywood is not
- 22:12Speaker 1: nearly as left wing crazy as you think, but they're
- 22:15Speaker 1: scared to death of not not projecting that. That makes
- 22:19Speaker 1: sense to me. So maybe that's maybe that's maybe somebody
- 22:21Speaker 1: got to Bill Burr right. Maybe he's been compromised, they
- 22:25Speaker 1: got some dirt on him, who knows, so they're making
- 22:27Speaker 1: him say this kind of stuff. But you listen to
- 22:29Speaker 1: the passion he puts into that statement there as he's
- 22:31Speaker 1: taking shots at Elon. He doesn't really seem to be
- 22:33Speaker 1: that way. Here's the other possibility. Maybe it's just a
- 22:36Speaker 1: giant marketing ploy. Could be right, because most you've noticed this,
- 22:42Speaker 1: you've felt it, you've seen it. Most celebrities are actually
- 22:44Speaker 1: going the other way. They're they're not so afraid of
- 22:48Speaker 1: the woke stuff anymore. You know, cancelations are down. Less
- 22:51Speaker 1: people are being canceled. There's more free speech now, so
- 22:53Speaker 1: most especially comedians. Boy, you see it in comedy. People
- 22:57Speaker 1: aren't afraid to be insulting anymore. You see that a
- 22:59Speaker 1: lot more. Maybe maybe Bill Burr season opening here a
- 23:03Speaker 1: marketing opportunity to go the other way, or he's felt
- 23:07Speaker 1: this way the whole way. I don't know. I'm just
- 23:09Speaker 1: telling you this is a completely completely different guy. But
- 23:14Speaker 1: bottom line is it's a bottom line business, right, it's
- 23:17Speaker 1: working for him. Everybody's talking about Bill Burr. This thing
- 23:20Speaker 1: was recorded I think on Monday, made the rounds this week,
- 23:24Speaker 1: we're on Thursday, and he's trending. Maybe it's marketing, Maybe
- 23:30Speaker 1: he's compromised. Maybe Satura ch jr. Art. I don't know,
- 23:34Speaker 1: but go back and listen or watch some of the
- 23:36Speaker 1: Bill Burr specials from ten years ago. That's a completely
- 23:39Speaker 1: different human being. I don't know. I don't know. We'll see.
- 23:43Speaker 1: All right, thanks for finding me. Appreciate I'm not a
- 23:45Speaker 1: material and I get to get it out of this
- 23:46Speaker 1: conference room. Other people need to get in here. If
- 23:49Speaker 1: everything is with me, including the algorithm and the wind
- 23:52Speaker 1: in this conference room. Will be live from New York

- 24:14Speaker 1: is going to be wild. We'll talk about that as
- 24:16Speaker 1: well as whatever the heck is going on with these
- 24:18Speaker 1: insane people in the news. There's never a shortage of
- 24:22Speaker 1: information from that, so we'll talk about it as well.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Thanks for finding me on the audio podcast too. I'll
- 24:26Speaker 1: post that as soon as they get done out of

- 24:32Speaker 1: that said, don't take any crap from anybody. I'll tak
