Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / 7-21: Is Mitch McConnell Dead?
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: I'd call this some sort of an emergency podcast if
- 0:05Speaker 1: we had any information, but we don't. And the fact
- 0:08Speaker 1: that we even have to ask the question, is.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell dead.
- 0:12Speaker 1: The fact that it's gone this long and you have
- 0:14Speaker 1: to say that question out loud, this is absolute complete insanity.
- 0:18Speaker 1: And it's listen, these aren't normal circumstances. And yes, we
- 0:21Speaker 1: can get beyond the whole thing. You feel sorry for
- 0:23Speaker 1: a guy, any human being, right, it's in that kind
- 0:26Speaker 1: of a condition because this obviously is either the conspiracy
- 0:30Speaker 1: theories are right and he actually is like physically dead,
- 0:33Speaker 1: or the other medical possibility, which is a real possibility.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Keep this in mindo insane, this is that he's brain dead.
- 0:39Speaker 1: That's all sad. I get it just from a human element.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I understand that, I totally do. This goes way beyond just.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Somebody in a bad state of mind. This is not
- 0:50Speaker 2: theory anymore.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's wife, which we're going to get into here
- 0:53Speaker 1: in a second, has deep This is understood. Everybody in
- 0:56Speaker 1: Washington and that swamp has understood. This has deep, deep
- 1:01Speaker 1: ties to China. They're talking about Elaine Chow, the former
- 1:04Speaker 1: Transportation secretary we'll hear from Tim Bercher from Tennessee in
- 1:08Speaker 1: just a second about that the fact that we're even
- 1:12Speaker 1: here in this day and age, and they'll go on
- 1:15Speaker 1: and on about it that, well, this isn't this isn't
- 1:17Speaker 1: an unusual circumstance.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Well, that's even worse.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Then how do you have this guy, which okay, he's
- 1:23Speaker 1: not Senate Majority Leader anymore, unaccounted for and there's no
- 1:27Speaker 1: answers and we don't know, and then the people that
- 1:30Speaker 1: are supposed to be in charge, like the current Senate
- 1:33Speaker 1: Majority Leader, isn't saying anything. This is a horrific, horrific circumstance.
- 1:38Speaker 1: And again, don't feel bad about asking this question because
- 1:42Speaker 1: this goes now beyond just one personal guy's health or
- 1:46Speaker 1: you know, one family situation, because this affects all of
- 1:49Speaker 1: us that this is going on. We'll discuss some of
- 1:52Speaker 1: the theories here, because there's a lot of doozies out there,
- 1:54Speaker 1: and the reason why these theories pop up and they
- 1:56Speaker 1: live is because we don't get answers. Anyway, we'll go
- 1:59Speaker 1: through them, and this I'm telling you stick around for
- 2:02Speaker 1: this comment and what Tim Burchett, maybe one of the
- 2:06Speaker 1: only true honest members of Congress when he says about what's.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Going on here, it's unbelievable. We'll get to it.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Thanks for finding Wicked Radio in the live stream and
- 2:13Speaker 1: replay on Exit YouTube and Facebook. Full audio podcast on
- 2:17Speaker 1: this posted shortly thereafter. Now this is mostly a visual
- 2:21Speaker 1: audio listeners only. I'm sorry, but this is just a stark,
- 2:24Speaker 1: stark reminder again, not being cruel, but we got to
- 2:27Speaker 1: set the stage to understand how bad of a situation
- 2:29Speaker 1: this is.
- 2:29Speaker 2: This was not that long ago.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Little Independent reporters is trying to ask Mitch mccauda a question.
- 2:37Speaker 1: He's holding on to the aids and he falls down.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I'm not laughing at this, I'm just doing it to
- 2:41Speaker 1: set the set the scene.
- 2:43Speaker 2: This is what it was, Lostella.
- 2:44Speaker 3: I want to ask, do you.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Working people off the streets and kidnapped the.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Okay, that's bad enough. Again, it's not funny. Nobody's laughing
- 2:57Speaker 1: at that. But again, go beyond what this is for
- 3:00Speaker 1: this guy's personal situation or his personal life. This affects everybody.
- 3:05Speaker 1: But wait a minute, now, hold on a second. He's
- 3:08Speaker 1: not Senate Majority leader anymore.
- 3:09Speaker 2: That's one good thing.
- 3:10Speaker 1: We've got one in there now, I'm sure we've got
- 3:12Speaker 1: a I'm sure we've got an honest on the level
- 3:14Speaker 1: Senate majority leader in John Thune, who's gonna tell us
- 3:17Speaker 1: exactly what's going on.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, not so much. This was just just the other.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Day where they asked him completely legitimate question, what is
- 3:27Speaker 1: going on with Mitch mcconnald. This is a very important
- 3:30Speaker 1: vote vote in the Senate besides the fact that we're
- 3:34Speaker 1: not being told anything, and this is what he had
- 3:36Speaker 1: to say. You think we're getting an answer on his
- 3:38Speaker 1: dancer out of this guy's.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Been out for so long and have a lot of
- 3:41Speaker 4: clear questions as to win and when we've happened.
- 3:43Speaker 3: This isn't the first time that this has happened, isn't
- 3:46Speaker 3: it You sure, John, Well, it's happened on both sides
- 3:48Speaker 3: of the aisle. And you know, look, Senator McConnell has
- 3:53Speaker 3: reported about his health.
- 3:55Speaker 2: No, he hasn't.
- 3:56Speaker 3: And I'm hopeful that we're going to have him back
- 3:58Speaker 3: here soon, but you're not that time. Well, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 3: we'll defer to him and to his staff to give
- 4:05Speaker 3: us updates on how he's doing. What updates, I don't
- 4:09Speaker 3: know that there is any I think in the past
- 4:11Speaker 3: there have been numerous opportunities. I think think of two
- 4:13Speaker 3: immediately on the Democrat side and and one on our
- 4:17Speaker 3: side where you had members that were out for extended
- 4:19Speaker 3: periods of time.
- 4:21Speaker 2: How about this? How about oh, really is it? Here's
- 4:25Speaker 2: John Thune going, whoa?
- 4:26Speaker 1: This is like he's basically telling us nothing out of
- 4:29Speaker 1: the ordinary for this.
- 4:31Speaker 2: And what about the update? You know his family is
- 4:33Speaker 2: the senator has given us updates? No, he hasn't.
- 4:36Speaker 1: They posted a still shot of him with his wife
- 4:39Speaker 1: where I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be cruel again.
- 4:42Speaker 1: He looks brain dead to me. He just does. That's
- 4:45Speaker 1: that's no update. And here's your problem. Here's the real
- 4:48Speaker 1: problem with this. Besides whatever's going on with Mitch McConnell's family,
- 4:52Speaker 1: that guy right there, and we all know John Thune
- 4:55Speaker 1: is basically the guy getting in the way of securing
- 4:57Speaker 1: our elections with the Save America Acts, but that it's
- 5:00Speaker 1: also a guy that will not give you or me
- 5:02Speaker 1: or any any of us any answers about the health
- 5:05Speaker 1: of a still this is the craziest part of a
- 5:08Speaker 1: still very powerful US senator.
- 5:11Speaker 2: This is just this is so bad. Okay, So where
- 5:14Speaker 2: are we right now? Okay? The guy is.
- 5:17Speaker 1: He's missed all twenty eight roll call votes since he's
- 5:21Speaker 1: been out. The last time Mitch McConnell voted was on
- 5:23Speaker 1: June eleventh. They vote all the time, right, you figure
- 5:26Speaker 1: it's not so bad, but there's still somebody making decisions
- 5:29Speaker 1: in that office. So here's the scariest part. We only
- 5:33Speaker 1: have one hundred senators, you know who's running his seat.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Then one of the one hundred Senate seats staffers unelected
- 5:40Speaker 1: staffers for Mitch McConnell, who, by the way, totally legitimate question.
- 5:43Speaker 1: We have to ask, now, how long have they been
- 5:45Speaker 1: doing that? He hasn't exactly been the sharpest tool in
- 5:49Speaker 1: the shed for a long time. So these unelected staffers,
- 5:52Speaker 1: god knows, interns, maybe two, I don't know, they've been
- 5:57Speaker 1: running the show for this guy, we have to assume
- 6:00Speaker 1: for a long long time. That's how bad this is.
- 6:04Speaker 1: If this doesn't change everybody's opinion on we need age limits,
- 6:08Speaker 1: term limits, we haven't listen. We have an age minimum
- 6:13Speaker 1: requirement for elected officials. Why don't we have an age
- 6:16Speaker 1: maximum cap cut off? Because this is just so bad.
- 6:21Speaker 1: But even and it's completely possible there and this kind
- 6:23Speaker 1: of goes to what John Thune was saying, it's possible
- 6:26Speaker 1: that a young, healthy, vibrant person could actually be only
- 6:30Speaker 1: fifty years old and have a health crisis. Well, that's
- 6:33Speaker 1: just as bad. You can't be there. So the theories
- 6:37Speaker 1: and this is why all these theories are out there.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Then why is he doing this? Why is this happening?
- 6:43Speaker 1: Well, the basic questions are Okay, let's start with the
- 6:47Speaker 1: most basic question that anybody is a responsible human being
- 6:49Speaker 1: would ask. Maybe because it's a family privacy thing. Yeah, okay,
- 6:54Speaker 1: I totally get that. I understand that. I think if
- 6:57Speaker 1: any member of my family, or if I was a
- 6:59Speaker 1: elected US senator, I want my family to keep kind
- 7:01Speaker 1: of quiet about it. But I will tell you this,
- 7:03Speaker 1: I'd also want them to update as best they possibly
- 7:07Speaker 1: could my constituents or the rest of the country.
- 7:10Speaker 2: I can tell you that.
- 7:12Speaker 1: So I don't think that's the only reason why we're
- 7:14Speaker 1: not here any anything is about privacy concerns. I don't
- 7:17Speaker 1: think that's it. So there are other, I guess, deeper
- 7:21Speaker 1: questions about this, protecting Senate operations, This seems the most
- 7:25Speaker 1: likely to me. This is a as you know, the narrowest,
- 7:29Speaker 1: thinnest of razor thin Margins in the Senate. And we
- 7:33Speaker 1: know because he's on the record as saying it. This
- 7:35Speaker 1: guy is no Mitch McConnell, that is, and now the
- 7:38Speaker 1: staffer is no fan of the Trump agenda. Yeah, that
- 7:43Speaker 1: would tend to that would tend to explain a lot
- 7:46Speaker 1: of different things. We can't can't we can't tell the
- 7:50Speaker 1: we can't tell the American public Mitch McConnell's did, because
- 7:52Speaker 1: then we'd have to get a new senator in there,
- 7:53Speaker 1: and then, no, we couldn't do that. But then we've
- 7:56Speaker 1: got other elected officials here who also aren't giving us
- 7:59Speaker 1: any answers to anything. Well, there's another guy from Kentucky.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Who else is from Kentucky? The other Senator Rand Paul,
- 8:06Speaker 1: he's the guy that's always calling for transparency rights. He
- 8:10Speaker 1: giving us any answers once again in the halls of Congress,
- 8:13Speaker 1: they tried to ask him, he.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Tell us what you think about McConnell's options.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Do you think he needs to put out a video instead.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Of just a pono Okay, instead of I get it.
- 8:23Speaker 2: I don't know anything about that.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Reporter asking Ran Paul that question, but he still could
- 8:26Speaker 1: have at least answered something. He said that you know,
- 8:28Speaker 1: I don't know at this point. I'm hoping to get
- 8:29Speaker 1: more information. I really don't know. Nope, walked away and
- 8:33Speaker 1: scurried away into the elevator to go up to the office.
- 8:36Speaker 2: That's not good.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But while we're on the subject of theories, let's get
- 8:40Speaker 1: to the craziest, scariest theory of all that It comes
- 8:44Speaker 1: from who I think, and you know, if you've been
- 8:46Speaker 1: with me for a long time, I think he's the
- 8:47Speaker 1: most honest dude in Congress. And that's saying a lot.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Tim Burchett, Tim Burchett from Tennessee. I think this guy
- 8:54Speaker 1: is completely on the level. I think we've seen enough
- 8:56Speaker 1: of Tim Burchett to know he's not BS and US.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I really truly believe that if you haven't heard this yet,
- 9:02Speaker 1: this is going to blow your mind, is how easily
- 9:05Speaker 1: he says and kind of intimates here that there are
- 9:08Speaker 1: deep Chinese connections to Mitch McConnell because of his wife
- 9:12Speaker 1: Alaine Chow and Tim Burch. It just says it like
- 9:14Speaker 1: everybody knows it. But if you haven't heard this yet,
- 9:17Speaker 1: maybe you read this in passing. Maybe there's a headline
- 9:20Speaker 1: very shortly after that picture which looked like a hostage video.
- 9:24Speaker 1: And I still think he was brain dead at the
- 9:25Speaker 1: time of the picture of them in the hospital. She
- 9:28Speaker 1: scurried right off to China.
- 9:31Speaker 2: What here's what he said, and you have to hear.
- 9:34Speaker 5: Days after McConnell went to the hospital, his wife, Elaine Chow,
- 9:37Speaker 5: flew to China to meet with the Chinese Vice president. Congressman,
- 9:42Speaker 5: great to see you. What do you think is going
- 9:44Speaker 5: on here?
- 9:45Speaker 6: I think her ties to China have been suspect for
- 9:50Speaker 6: a long time in the transportation world, and the servant
- 9:55Speaker 6: on transportation that had always raised an eyebrow for men.
- 10:00Speaker 6: But you know, nothing happens in this town by accident.
- 10:03Speaker 6: Of course, I'm in Tennessee. Things happened by accident down here,
- 10:07Speaker 6: but nothing in Washington ever happens by accident. It's just
- 10:10Speaker 6: it's a cover up, up on top of a cover up.
- 10:13Speaker 2: And that's why nobody dressed.
- 10:14Speaker 6: That's what's going on in Washington, this whole thing.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, exactly right.
- 10:19Speaker 1: And I think he's again, I've never heard anything from
- 10:22Speaker 1: Tim Burchett that leads me to believe he would be
- 10:24Speaker 1: as anybody and listen to here's the chilling part.
- 10:27Speaker 2: How easily Tim Burchett was able to.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Say their ties to China have long been known in
- 10:35Speaker 1: this town, as if like he's known it forever, and
- 10:39Speaker 1: he kind of assumes everybody else does too. That's still
- 10:41Speaker 1: for the rest of us unwashed masses in America. That's
- 10:45Speaker 1: still shocking to us. You hear it back and forth.
- 10:47Speaker 1: But to have a US congressman come out and say,
- 10:50Speaker 1: as she scurries off to Beijing right away, as soon
- 10:55Speaker 1: as it looked like Mitch McConnell's health took a turn,
- 11:00Speaker 1: she goes right to China, and how easily he says
- 11:04Speaker 1: that if that doesn't concern you, there may be something wrong.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, the fact that we even have to
- 11:12Speaker 1: have the question we don't know it almost here's it
- 11:15Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It sounds bizarre to say, but it doesn't
- 11:18Speaker 1: matter if Mitch McConnell is dead or not.
- 11:20Speaker 2: You hear what I'm saying.
- 11:21Speaker 1: He's either brain dead and we have an actual cadaver
- 11:24Speaker 1: still sitting in a US Senate see, or he could
- 11:29Speaker 1: actually be dead dead and we don't know, and things
- 11:32Speaker 1: are being held up in the Senate like, oh, I
- 11:34Speaker 1: don't know the Save America Act, right, but keep in
- 11:38Speaker 1: mind that this has been going on. This isn't a
- 11:40Speaker 1: new development. It's not like three months ago. This guy
- 11:42Speaker 1: was sharp as attack. This is a statement from President
- 11:45Speaker 1: Trump shortly after the second inauguration. So this is February
- 11:49Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. This is what he said about
- 11:52Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. Listen to what he says about it. They've
- 11:54Speaker 1: always known that this guy is not there. What should
- 11:57Speaker 1: ask get us to ask this question? Who's been running
- 12:00Speaker 1: h McConnell's votes all these years? Who are the unelected
- 12:02Speaker 1: people behind the scenes on this That's the real question.
- 12:06Speaker 1: That's what's really going.
- 12:06Speaker 6: To be figing.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Well, I feel sorry for Mitch, and I was one
- 12:10Speaker 4: of the people that led. He couldn't. He wanted to
- 12:12Speaker 4: go to the end and he wanted to say leader.
- 12:14Speaker 4: He wasn't. He's not equipped mentally, He wasn't equipped ten
- 12:17Speaker 4: years ago. Mentally. In my opinion, he'd let the Republican
- 12:20Speaker 4: Party go to hell. If I didn't come along with
- 12:22Speaker 4: the Republican Party wouldn't even exist right now, Mitch.
- 12:24Speaker 1: McCoy Trump's view is ten years before. Okay, So let's
- 12:27Speaker 1: call that eleven years ago. Confirmed that Mitch McConnell hasn't
- 12:31Speaker 1: been all there. So that was the whole time he
- 12:35Speaker 1: was the Senate Majority leader. Okay, so what does it
- 12:38Speaker 1: mean to be Senate Majority leader? You're actually the guy
- 12:40Speaker 1: when it comes down to the dirty, swampy, disgusting politics
- 12:43Speaker 1: of the whole thing. You're the guy that decides in
- 12:46Speaker 1: all the other races, Congress and Senate too, throughout the
- 12:49Speaker 1: rest of the country who gets the money. So they
- 12:52Speaker 1: decide who actually runs the country basically, and who's going
- 12:55Speaker 1: to get elected. He's the guy that distributes the money.
- 12:57Speaker 2: You know what we all like.
- 12:58Speaker 1: You know, if you have ever contributed to anything, and
- 13:01Speaker 1: then the GOP comes out or the Democrats come out
- 13:03Speaker 1: and they say, we have all this money for this
- 13:05Speaker 1: midterms coming up.
- 13:08Speaker 2: Then what happens.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Their leaders decide which of their candidates get the money.
- 13:11Speaker 1: So that was Mitch McConnell, who many people think was
- 13:15Speaker 1: never mentally there, or at least not in the last decade.
- 13:17Speaker 1: That was the guy deciding who the leaders, the elected
- 13:20Speaker 1: leaders of the country would be. It doesn't get any
- 13:23Speaker 1: scarier than that. But again I try to spin this
- 13:25Speaker 1: in a positive way. This should bring back the national
- 13:29Speaker 1: conversation about age limits, term limits. I know it's pie
- 13:34Speaker 1: in the sky, I get it, but hopefully transparency in
- 13:36Speaker 1: our country. And let's be big boys and girls about
- 13:38Speaker 1: this too, because we all, like to the majority of you,
- 13:41Speaker 1: and I know who you are in the audience, most
- 13:43Speaker 1: of us lean conservative and we always think that Democrats
- 13:45Speaker 1: are mostly awful, and they mostly are. Let's not pretend
- 13:49Speaker 1: that the Republicans aren't guilty of this kind of shadiness
- 13:53Speaker 1: as well. And the whole story about Mitch McConnell and
- 13:57Speaker 1: his health or death is bringing this up.
- 14:00Speaker 2: It's good a reminder for all of us.
- 14:02Speaker 1: And again, like these, one of these kinds of stories
- 14:03Speaker 1: come out, it's kind of chilling and it's kind of scary,
- 14:05Speaker 1: but you need some of these every once in a
- 14:07Speaker 1: while to realize how bad things are so that we
- 14:10Speaker 1: can fix it. First thing, which was we said right
- 14:13Speaker 1: there in the beginning, don't ever feel bad about questioning
- 14:16Speaker 1: this guy's health because that affects all of us.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Is this is beyond a family thing now.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Second thing is, don't stop asking questions about where this
- 14:22Speaker 1: guy or where any of your political leaders are.
- 14:25Speaker 2: As you know, and I know, we're.
- 14:26Speaker 1: All trying to live our lives and live happy lives
- 14:28Speaker 1: and not worry about this kind of stuff, but you
- 14:29Speaker 1: kind of have to in a situation like this. And secondly,
- 14:32Speaker 1: and then well thirdly, this is the most important thing
- 14:34Speaker 1: of all, this confirmation that we know now Mitch McConnell's
- 14:38Speaker 1: wife Elaine Chow scurrying to China when he's either dead
- 14:41Speaker 1: or brain dead. This goes back to This goes back
- 14:46Speaker 1: to the big story from last week. I called it
- 14:49Speaker 1: the biggest story of our lives. How much is is
- 14:53Speaker 1: the CCP of trying to running our elections and our politicians?
- 14:56Speaker 1: That's the most question relevant, most important question of all.
- 14:59Speaker 1: And it all goes back in coming to the surface
- 15:00Speaker 1: with this Mitch McConnell's story. And I'm really sorry, and
- 15:03Speaker 1: I'm really sorry that the guys that's a personal health
- 15:06Speaker 1: thing for them and their family. But this goes beyond that,
- 15:09Speaker 1: because this affects all of us.
- 15:12Speaker 2: This is nuts. It doesn't matter whether he's dead or not.
- 15:15Speaker 1: How crazy is that to say it doesn't matter whether
- 15:17Speaker 1: he's physically dead or just brain dead or in some
- 15:21Speaker 1: sort of medical capacity where he can't even function. It
- 15:25Speaker 1: doesn't matter anymore because he hasn't been run in the
- 15:27Speaker 1: show for that long.
- 15:29Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 15:31Speaker 1: I don't know everybody. But here's the important thing. We
- 15:32Speaker 1: all got to keep asking questions. All right, Hopefully better
- 15:37Speaker 1: news tomorrow we'll find out. Thanks for hanging out with
