- 0:07Speaker 1: You a bully preachers picking on Trump as a captive audience,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and then you got the Philly mayor who can't spell eagles.
- 0:13Speaker 1: What in the world is going on? I don't know either,
- 0:16Speaker 1: but we're gonna try to figure it out. Thanks for
- 0:18Speaker 1: finding Wicked Radio and the audio podcast as well, which
- 0:21Speaker 1: will be up and running wherever you get those at
- 0:23Speaker 1: about non am Eastern time. Thanks for being here. And
- 0:25Speaker 1: this is always on a replay obviously on x so
- 0:28Speaker 1: thanks for following and putting notifications on and all that
- 0:32Speaker 1: good stuff. But let's get to it. Let's get to
- 0:34Speaker 1: the important stuff. The southern snow has arrived. This is
- 0:40Speaker 1: wild and I don't know when the last time was
- 0:42Speaker 1: that this actually happened. They said it did happen before.
- 0:44Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about southern states, Alabama, Louisiana, northern
- 0:48Speaker 1: parts of Florida. So the signs in Florida when you
- 0:51Speaker 1: enter say that welcome to the free state of Florida.
- 0:53Speaker 1: People are already writing on them or like you know,
- 0:55Speaker 1: doing photoshop, welcome to the freeze state of Florida. Appalachian
- 0:59Speaker 1: States is well unbelievable. Now, last time this happened, whenever
- 1:02Speaker 1: that was, we did not have the magic of the
- 1:04Speaker 1: Internet to give us incredible videos and audio of what's
- 1:07Speaker 1: happening now. But in this day and age, you could
- 1:10Speaker 1: just go on your phone right now and you could
- 1:12Speaker 1: find hundreds and hundreds of videos of people in the
- 1:16Speaker 1: Southern States who have absolutely no idea how to drive
- 1:20Speaker 1: in it. And I'm not picking on you, I'm not,
- 1:22Speaker 1: I swear to God. It's like, obviously, I grew up,
- 1:24Speaker 1: you know, in Massachusetts and massholes, understand pretty much in
- 1:29Speaker 1: your DNA how to drive in this stuff, and I
- 1:30Speaker 1: could right now. But if you're not used to it,
- 1:32Speaker 1: if you didn't grow up in that kind of crap,
- 1:34Speaker 1: it's like freaky. It's like your whole sense of what's
- 1:36Speaker 1: on the road, and a lot of it's black ice,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and you know it's dangerous. But Jerry, pick any one
- 1:42Speaker 1: of them and you'll find videos and audio like this.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Don't know. We're all good, We're good, is she okay?
- 1:56Speaker 1: She was? Okay? This is why we can make fun
- 1:57Speaker 1: of it. But all kinds of act. It's on the
- 2:00Speaker 1: road and it's no laughing matter. I understand that we
- 2:02Speaker 1: can laugh at them because they're okay. But I mean,
- 2:05Speaker 1: it's a weird, weird thing because I've been in a
- 2:07Speaker 1: southern state before when it starts to snow, and it's
- 2:09Speaker 1: really true, it's like people freak out. We were driving
- 2:14Speaker 1: home back into Florida one time and driving through Atlanta
- 2:19Speaker 1: and got rerouted, took downtown Atlanta route and we're we're
- 2:23Speaker 1: driving through there in one of these weird Southern things
- 2:27Speaker 1: and it was just flurrying and everything's going heavy traffic,
- 2:30Speaker 1: but everything's going fine until the first flurry came down
- 2:36Speaker 1: and it hit the ground, and all of a sudden,
- 2:37Speaker 1: it was like people went ah and they freaked out,
- 2:41Speaker 1: couldn't drive. Accidents like you heard just there, just left
- 2:43Speaker 1: and right, just insane. So if you are in one
- 2:47Speaker 1: of those states and you're still dealing with the stuff
- 2:49Speaker 1: on the ground. And here's the other thing too, the
- 2:51Speaker 1: public's works departments don't really have like the salt or
- 2:53Speaker 1: the sand to deal with this kind of stuff because
- 2:55Speaker 1: they're not used to it. I didn't even know if
- 2:57Speaker 1: they have plows, to be honest with you. So if
- 2:59Speaker 1: you're still on those southern states and you deal it
- 3:01Speaker 1: with that snow and accidents like that. Please do me
- 3:04Speaker 1: a favor and do your family a favor and stay
- 3:07Speaker 1: inside if you can, try to avoid the traffic and
- 3:10Speaker 1: the roads. Thank you. That's that's today's Wicked Radio public
- 3:14Speaker 1: service announcement. All right, let's get to the story everybody's
- 3:18Speaker 1: talking about that made the news as of early yesterday afternoon.
- 3:21Speaker 1: How many more? Honestly, can we cut back on the
- 3:24Speaker 1: inauguration events. I like the big one. I like the swearing,
- 3:27Speaker 1: and I like the parade. I like the pageantry. I
- 3:29Speaker 1: like all that stuff. I like swearing on the Bible.
- 3:31Speaker 1: It's going on too long now. There's too much stuff
- 3:35Speaker 1: and too much stuff that can happen. Well, now we
- 3:38Speaker 1: have the the inaugural prayer service. I guess it's tradition,
- 3:45Speaker 1: you know, and they go to the whatever national Episcopalian
- 3:48Speaker 1: church it is, I guess because everybody else was represented whatever,
- 3:52Speaker 1: and we all know what happened. So Trump's sitting there
- 3:56Speaker 1: with Milania jd Vance is sitting there with usha Trump family,
- 4:00Speaker 1: is there. Administration people are there. I guess some of
- 4:04Speaker 1: the public were there too all to witness this. And
- 4:06Speaker 1: of course it's broadcast nationally and across the world. So
- 4:10Speaker 1: the activist bishop who's there, Mary Anne Bud. She knew
- 4:15Speaker 1: she had a worldwide audience, and she knew that she
- 4:18Speaker 1: could preach to which is what she does, preach to
- 4:20Speaker 1: Trump one on one about the trans, gay and minority communities.
- 4:24Speaker 1: And we all know how it sounded. And it sounded
- 4:27Speaker 1: exactly like this, not that one. We all know what
- 4:31Speaker 1: happened there, but it was a train wreck. She knew
- 4:35Speaker 1: she had a captive audience. And this is why I
- 4:38Speaker 1: call her a bully preacher. This is exactly why, because
- 4:42Speaker 1: not like you and me, you and I might get up,
- 4:45Speaker 1: maybe even walk out of that service. I think I
- 4:48Speaker 1: would have well, I actually know why I would have
- 4:49Speaker 1: stayed there, actually, because I'm that stubborn. I would have
- 4:52Speaker 1: probably sat there and laughed at her. Trump can't do that, obviously,
- 4:56Speaker 1: he's the president. How is that gonna look? And he
- 4:59Speaker 1: knows that he can't do that. But he stood there,
- 5:03Speaker 1: sat there, stone face and listened to it. Again, here's
- 5:07Speaker 1: the preacher.
- 5:08Speaker 2: In the name of our God, I ask you to
- 5:12Speaker 2: have mercy upon the people in our country. We're scared now.
- 5:20Speaker 2: There are gay, lesbian, and transgener children in Democratic, Republican
- 5:27Speaker 2: and independent families some who fear for their lives, and
- 5:34Speaker 2: the people, the people who pick our crops and clean
- 5:39Speaker 2: our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants.
- 5:43Speaker 1: The people. I took that as kind of insulting, by
- 5:46Speaker 1: the way, Like if I was listening to this and
- 5:48Speaker 1: there was somebody new to our country who didn't exactly
- 5:50Speaker 1: come here through legal means, Wait a minute. I can
- 5:53Speaker 1: do more than just pick your crops and clean your
- 5:55Speaker 1: office buildings, clean your toilets. I can do more. But
- 5:58Speaker 1: regardless's bully. She's one hundred percent a bully. And he
- 6:02Speaker 1: used to call it the bully pulpit, where nobody else
- 6:05Speaker 1: you talk about. That's the definition of a captive audience.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Trump couldn't do anything. He was captive there. He can't
- 6:10Speaker 1: get up and leave. It's not like he's businessman Trump
- 6:12Speaker 1: back in the day where he could just get up
- 6:14Speaker 1: and be like, oh the hell with this, Come on, babe,
- 6:16Speaker 1: let's get the hell out of here. He can't do that.
- 6:18Speaker 1: He's got to sit there and listen to it with
- 6:19Speaker 1: the camera zooming in on his face waiting for a reaction. Now,
- 6:24Speaker 1: thankfully he's got JD. Vance as his as his wingman
- 6:27Speaker 1: now as his Robin to his batman and JD Van
- 6:30Speaker 1: sid you happen to catch this and I know this
- 6:31Speaker 1: is a visual more than an audio thing. The look
- 6:35Speaker 1: on his face was so good. JD. Vance literally literally
- 6:40Speaker 1: rolled his eyes when this was happening. Was perfect. It's
- 6:43Speaker 1: the first I think it's the first time where he
- 6:45Speaker 1: bailed Trump out of a situation that was uncomfortable. JD.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Vance had a look on his face like it because
- 6:51Speaker 1: I think this really happened. Remember what happened the night
- 6:53Speaker 1: before this happened yesterday that he had a look on
- 6:56Speaker 1: his face that I stayed up till one of the
- 6:59Speaker 1: clock in the morning watching that Ohio State game and
- 7:03Speaker 1: now it's early and I have to listen to this BS.
- 7:06Speaker 1: That's exactly what the look on his face was. But
- 7:09Speaker 1: Trump was stone faced, the needle looked at some of
- 7:11Speaker 1: the other looks on the faces and people were just
- 7:13Speaker 1: kind of like horrified. But Trump didn't make mention of it.
- 7:16Speaker 1: He didn't do anything until this morning because just a
- 7:19Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago, if you're watching me live, a
- 7:23Speaker 1: truth social came out from Trump where he did actually
- 7:26Speaker 1: have a reaction to it. And you knew he'd react
- 7:28Speaker 1: somehow someway in his typical Trump for me, it's long.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I didn't I won't read the whole thing. But he
- 7:32Speaker 1: said the zikod as you bespoke of the National Prayers Service,
- 7:36Speaker 1: was there a radical left, hardline Trump hater. She brought
- 7:40Speaker 1: her church into the world of politics in a very
- 7:43Speaker 1: ungracious way. Very good point. And how he said that
- 7:46Speaker 1: I thought was great. I agree with him. She was
- 7:48Speaker 1: nasty in tone and not compelling or smart. She failed
- 7:52Speaker 1: it much of the large amount of illegal immigrants that
- 7:54Speaker 1: came into our country and killed people. Many were deposited
- 7:57Speaker 1: from jails and mental institutions. And then he goes on,
- 8:00Speaker 1: now here's the thing in here. I think that he's
- 8:02Speaker 1: right about that. She did absolutely no favors for the
- 8:07Speaker 1: people she supposedly was trying to speak up to. She
- 8:11Speaker 1: really didn't. She didn't do them any favors whatsoever. I
- 8:14Speaker 1: will guarantee you not all of them. Because the media
- 8:17Speaker 1: is going crazy about this. They are absolutely this is
- 8:19Speaker 1: like a hero And you want to get on CNN.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Here's a little tip for you. You want to get on CNN,
- 8:24Speaker 1: just make some sort of a media statement or get
- 8:25Speaker 1: go viral slamming Trump, and they'll put you on because
- 8:28Speaker 1: that's all they have left. That's their whole business model.
- 8:31Speaker 1: But I will guarantee you that a lot of the
- 8:34Speaker 1: disenfranchised groups that she was trying to represent right there
- 8:37Speaker 1: saw that and said, oh God, you just made you
- 8:40Speaker 1: just made life for us in this country about a
- 8:43Speaker 1: thousand times arter. That's exactly what you did by sitting
- 8:46Speaker 1: there as a bully preacher and having Trump and everybody
- 8:49Speaker 1: else as a captive audience. And they couldn't do anything
- 8:51Speaker 1: about it. That's why there's so much backlash against this lady.
- 8:56Speaker 1: And here's an Oh, speaking of the media, So what happened?
- 8:59Speaker 1: First and four? Almost this morning? Aaron Burnett on CNN
- 9:02Speaker 1: had her right on. Her name is Mary Anne bud
- 9:05Speaker 1: that's the bishop at the inaugural prayer service. Your what
- 9:10Speaker 1: was your message? What were you trying to get through
- 9:14Speaker 1: to the president when you said this, and it's exactly
- 9:17Speaker 1: what you would think. What were you looking at him
- 9:20Speaker 1: in that moment? What kind of response were you perhaps
- 9:23Speaker 1: hoping for in that moment? Oh the drama? I was.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I was looking at the president because I was speaking
- 9:33Speaker 3: directly to him. I was also frankly as you do
- 9:36Speaker 3: in every sermon, speaking to everyone who was listening through
- 9:40Speaker 3: that one on one conversation with the President, reminding us
- 9:44Speaker 3: all that in the people that are frightened in our country,
- 9:48Speaker 3: the two groups of people that I mentioned are our
- 9:51Speaker 3: fellow human beings, and that they have been portrayed in
- 9:56Speaker 3: all throughout the political campaign in the harshest flights.
- 10:02Speaker 1: She has no idea. This always happens. I've noticed this
- 10:06Speaker 1: a lot with the traditional not the radicals, just the
- 10:10Speaker 1: traditional like bleeding heart liberal friends you might have. It's
- 10:15Speaker 1: like they'll go but they'll they'll fall for it every
- 10:17Speaker 1: single time. They'll go for everything that looks great on paper. Well,
- 10:20Speaker 1: I'm going to speak out for them and try to
- 10:22Speaker 1: give them a voice. They never realize how it works
- 10:25Speaker 1: in the real world. Here's how it works in the
- 10:27Speaker 1: real world. People hear that now. They, like I said
- 10:29Speaker 1: a couple of minutes ago, she just made life for
- 10:32Speaker 1: those people she was trying to represent about a thousand
- 10:34Speaker 1: times harder because now the next time it's preached anywhere,
- 10:39Speaker 1: other people who just try to make a living are going,
- 10:41Speaker 1: oh God, not this again. They want to tune out
- 10:45Speaker 1: to what any of that messaging is and she doesn't
- 10:47Speaker 1: even realize it. And now she's patting herself on the
- 10:49Speaker 1: back for bringing like Trump's at their world into politics. Massive,
- 10:54Speaker 1: massive mistake. But I can't. I watch this video specifically
- 10:59Speaker 1: for the respect monsters and Trump's stoneface response and the
- 11:02Speaker 1: hilarious JD. Vans thing before, probably dozens of times yesterday
- 11:08Speaker 1: because I was just fascinated by it, and it reminded
- 11:10Speaker 1: me of a personal story I haven't thought about in
- 11:13Speaker 1: like decades. I'll never forget this story of when you're
- 11:17Speaker 1: in there in a church and what happens. Now I've
- 11:20Speaker 1: said it. If it was you and me, anybody else,
- 11:22Speaker 1: normal your reaction to being spoken to and really talked
- 11:26Speaker 1: down to it, admonished by a preacher or a bishop
- 11:28Speaker 1: or a priest, anybody like that. Normal people reaction. What
- 11:31Speaker 1: can you do? He can walk out. It's like, I
- 11:33Speaker 1: don't want to hear your politics. I'm just I'm gonna leave.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I think what I would do, I think in that
- 11:39Speaker 1: reaction would be I would just start laughing at it.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I'd sit there and I'd be like and I'd smile.
- 11:45Speaker 1: That's just me. But like I said, Trump can't leave.
- 11:48Speaker 1: He's literally a captive audience. He can't leave the situation
- 11:51Speaker 1: because the cameras are on him. But I thought about
- 11:55Speaker 1: this thing that happened when I was a little kid,
- 11:57Speaker 1: and I grew up Catholic, and we would go to
- 12:00Speaker 1: Sunday church like all the time. And one time my
- 12:03Speaker 1: aunt and uncle and family were in town and for
- 12:07Speaker 1: whatever reason, we're all went to church together that one
- 12:10Speaker 1: day and sitting there, sitting in the back. Usually that's
- 12:14Speaker 1: how my dad liked to do it. Now I know why.
- 12:17Speaker 1: For whatever reason, my dad and my uncle were during
- 12:21Speaker 1: the service like chewing gum, like you're not supposed to
- 12:23Speaker 1: do that at church, like kind of loudly. You know.
- 12:27Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know why it happened. But in
- 12:29Speaker 1: the middle of the service, this priest like made mention
- 12:32Speaker 1: of it. He's like even our parishioners in the back
- 12:34Speaker 1: chewing gum. My uncle was horrified. He was like, I
- 12:40Speaker 1: put his head down in like shame. He was like
- 12:42Speaker 1: so embarrassed. He's trying to figure out how to get
- 12:44Speaker 1: rid of the piece of gum. My dad, And this
- 12:46Speaker 1: will explain a lot about me, my dad. I looked
- 12:50Speaker 1: back at him. He stayed there, He looked at the
- 12:54Speaker 1: priest with a with a shitty grin on his face
- 12:57Speaker 1: and he chewed louder. It's just that was just him.
- 13:03Speaker 1: And I thought about with the Trump thing and the
- 13:05Speaker 1: reaction to this and how you know, you go through
- 13:07Speaker 1: how you would handle this type of situation if you
- 13:09Speaker 1: were if you were talked down to by any kind
- 13:11Speaker 1: of a preacher. I'll never forget that story of my
- 13:14Speaker 1: dad just chewing louder in the in the priest's face.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Like everybody's got a different way to handle things, I guess,
- 13:19Speaker 1: but there you go. But that's that lady. That preacher
- 13:24Speaker 1: did no favors, none for supposedly who she's supposed to represent.
- 13:29Speaker 1: No one else didn't do any favors for her group.
- 13:31Speaker 1: How about the Philly mayor now Philly the Eagles. They're
- 13:34Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game coming up this weekend, which
- 13:37Speaker 1: good for them, great team this year. The Philly Mayor,
- 13:42Speaker 1: she's kind of knew, I guess. I think she was
- 13:44Speaker 1: just elected pretty recently. I hadn't seen too much about her,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and that's probably for a good thing. Cherrelle Parker is
- 13:49Speaker 1: her name, And they had kind of like a city rally,
- 13:52Speaker 1: kind of like kind of like a sendoff rally kind
- 13:54Speaker 1: of thing whatever, as most cities will do when their
- 13:58Speaker 1: team is in a big championship game, a confors championship game.
- 14:01Speaker 1: And if you know Eagles fans, you know that they
- 14:03Speaker 1: have They always chant Eagles E A G L E s.
- 14:06Speaker 1: They always do it in the stadium every time they
- 14:09Speaker 1: every time they score. You know, need a rally whatever,
- 14:11Speaker 1: whatever it is. Well, she tried to do the same
- 14:14Speaker 1: exact thing yesterday at the at the rally. It didn't
- 14:18Speaker 1: go so well. Let me hear you all saying hee,
- 14:21Speaker 1: oh gee s egles, let's go first? What E hold
- 14:32Speaker 1: on E L G S E s Now we're at
- 14:38Speaker 1: the excuse? Well, you know, I think her spokesperson said this. Well,
- 14:42Speaker 1: you know, she was nervous. It was a crowd, there
- 14:43Speaker 1: were a lot of cameras. This is their first one
- 14:45Speaker 1: that she's done like this. No, I am sorry. I
- 14:48Speaker 1: have a lot of Eagles fans who are friends of mine,
- 14:51Speaker 1: very good friends, and as bad of a reputation as
- 14:54Speaker 1: they get, it's a great fan base. They're knowledgeable. I
- 14:57Speaker 1: get it, they're nasty whatever, but they their team and
- 15:02Speaker 1: nervous or not in their most drunk condition or stressed
- 15:06Speaker 1: out or in the middle of something else, or if
- 15:08Speaker 1: you just woke them up in the middle of the night,
- 15:10Speaker 1: like if I said, Mike, Mike chan the Eagles just
- 15:12Speaker 1: score it, he go e A g L e Yes.
- 15:16Speaker 1: It's like it's burned into their DNA. There's no way
- 15:19Speaker 1: a true fan would ever misspell that. No way, not
- 15:23Speaker 1: buying that excuse. You're the mayor of Philly. You can't
- 15:26Speaker 1: misspell your Eagles team. It's a chant every time they
- 15:30Speaker 1: score a g yes, whatever. Believable. The probably the probably
- 15:37Speaker 1: throw snowballs at her the next time she's seen in public.
