Wicked Radio 11-6: F The Filibuster, Shutdown Affecting Flights, & Coke's New AI Ad Backlash · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:02
Speaker 1: Well, we had a little bit of breaking news last
0:04
Speaker 1: night as far as the shutdown goes. First of all,
0:05
Speaker 1: we ventured now record territory. This is like the longest
0:08
Speaker 1: in American history. And also now I think we've reached
0:12
Speaker 1: the point where everybody is affected. Everybody was affected before,
0:15
Speaker 1: but you didn't like feel it. But now that flights
0:18
Speaker 1: are affected, you've I think you've got every segment of
0:20
Speaker 1: the population now like feeling the pain of this thing,
0:22
Speaker 1: which is why I'm gonna explain why personally, and you
0:26
Speaker 1: got to make your own choice personally. I think it's
0:28
Speaker 1: time to trying not to swear f the filibuster. And
0:33
Speaker 1: Trump convinced me yesterday because I was one of these
0:35
Speaker 1: people yesterday that were even up to yesterday before I
0:37
Speaker 1: heard him say this, was like, well, you know, you
0:39
Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to change the voting
0:42
Speaker 1: rules because those guys aren't going to be in power forever,
0:45
Speaker 1: and once the other guys are in power, then they're
0:47
Speaker 1: just going to do the same thing to them and
0:48
Speaker 1: then there's no pushback, there's no checks and balances. And
0:52
Speaker 1: I don't know why it took me so long to
0:54
Speaker 1: realize until I heard him explain it. They're going to
0:56
Speaker 1: do that anyway. The proof is right before our eyes.
1:01
Speaker 1: They're shutting down the country and now even affecting flights.
1:04
Speaker 1: You know, I think they're capable of political revenge once
1:07
Speaker 1: they get power, which is gonna happen. It's just the
1:10
Speaker 1: natural order of things, that's the way things happen. I'm
1:13
Speaker 1: completely in favor of screwing over the filibuster and getting
1:16
Speaker 1: rid of this thing. And we'll go over that in
1:17
Speaker 1: just a second. But first of all, thanks for finding
1:19
Speaker 1: Wicked Radio and the livestream pod which lives on is
1:22
Speaker 1: a replay. Thanks for the follows and likes and shares
1:24
Speaker 1: and downloads and audio podcasts too. No't forget whatever platform
1:27
Speaker 1: you like to get those on. Let's get right to it.
1:29
Speaker 1: This is the break of news last night. This is
1:30
Speaker 1: why I think now even the people might have been you,
1:34
Speaker 1: we're saying that I don't can let it shut down.
1:36
Speaker 1: Maybe the government's running better with a shutdown. Now, I
1:39
Speaker 1: think we've officially crossed the rubicon. We've now reached that
1:43
Speaker 1: point where everybody is affected and the anger is built
1:47
Speaker 1: up to a point where they're going to happen.
1:48
Speaker 2: And I perhaps the most significant fallout from the government
1:51
Speaker 2: shutdown so far is being announced this evening. The Federal
1:55
Speaker 2: Aviation Administration says it will reduce air traffic by ten
2:00
Speaker 2: across forty high value, high volume locations beginning Friday.
2:05
Speaker 1: Again, Hey, here's the thing, and this is just human nature.
2:09
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, you can't blame people for this,
2:10
Speaker 1: but this is what really affects people. The FAA and
2:14
Speaker 1: the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has been saying before, he's
2:17
Speaker 1: been saying for now two weeks. He says, look, we're
2:19
Speaker 1: at the point now where because of air traffic controllers
2:22
Speaker 1: and aviation officials who are not getting paid, we're at
2:25
Speaker 1: a a this is a safety issue. Now, He's been
2:28
Speaker 1: stomping up and down to whoever would hear him, and
2:30
Speaker 1: he says, this is a safety issue. We are what
2:33
Speaker 1: we are. We're one ear in, one ear out. It's
2:36
Speaker 1: just the way we are. That didn't really affect us
2:39
Speaker 1: canceling flights, vacation, holiday and family plans. That's where we
2:44
Speaker 1: get pissed off. It's just the way we are. You know,
2:46
Speaker 1: nobody's to blame. It's just the way we are. Now
2:49
Speaker 1: people are getting pressure on your local favorite politicians to
2:52
Speaker 1: get this thing over with. It's done, forget it now.
2:55
Speaker 1: We finally reached that point. So that was the breaking
2:57
Speaker 1: news last night. This is the guy that convinced me.
3:00
Speaker 1: We'll get into the background of it in the Civics lesson,
3:02
Speaker 1: of course, and the reminder for all of us about
3:04
Speaker 1: this filibuster thing. But this is what Trump said about
3:06
Speaker 1: the shutdown yesterday and his argument, and he's he's had
3:11
Speaker 1: meetings with all the Senators to get rid of this
3:13
Speaker 1: filibuster thing. This is what he said yesterday, and he
3:16
Speaker 1: convinced me.
3:17
Speaker 3: If I thought I did that they weren't going to
3:19
Speaker 3: pass the Philippus, I wouldn't even bring it up.
3:21
Speaker 1: They're going to pass it.
3:22
Speaker 3: Within the first hour if they take power, and it's
3:26
Speaker 3: more likely that they take power if we don't do
3:28
Speaker 3: because we're not going to be passing any legislation, not
3:30
Speaker 3: going to approve anything. We're going to go three in
3:32
Speaker 3: a quarter years. There won't be one bill that we're
3:34
Speaker 3: going to pass because the easiest thing to pass is
3:37
Speaker 3: exactly right now what they won't pass, and they'll do
3:40
Speaker 3: that and they'll recavoc but let's assume they get in
3:44
Speaker 3: they're doing it anyway, so it wouldn't matter. They're doing
3:46
Speaker 3: it anyway. And you know, I have a case where
3:49
Speaker 3: I have great US attorneys that can't be approved because
3:52
Speaker 3: of the blue slips. The blue slips, I think you
3:54
Speaker 3: should terminate blue slips too. It's a mental termination because
3:57
Speaker 3: it's really a custom.
3:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm in that camp now. I'm not afraid
4:02
Speaker 1: to admit it. I was just like that until I
4:03
Speaker 1: heard him say that yesterday. I was debating it back
4:05
Speaker 1: and forth, and I was switching back and forth, saying, yeah,
4:08
Speaker 1: but you don't want to get rid of the pushback
4:10
Speaker 1: where you know, sixty votes in the majority can stop this,
4:14
Speaker 1: but they're going to do it anyway. They were willing
4:16
Speaker 1: to shut down the country, affect everybody, inflict pain, and
4:21
Speaker 1: then of course blame it on the other side. Of
4:23
Speaker 1: course they're going to do the exact same thing. They've
4:24
Speaker 1: got to get rid of this filibuster rule. Why not
4:28
Speaker 1: just do it now and get things passed for a
4:30
Speaker 1: couple of different reasons. Like you said right there, this
4:33
Speaker 1: administration is gonna have to start passing all these ideas
4:36
Speaker 1: they have, especially about affordability for young people. A lot
4:40
Speaker 1: more on that in just a couple of minutes. They've
4:41
Speaker 1: got to get that done. If they don't get that done,
4:43
Speaker 1: they're gonna get wiped out in the midterms because people
4:46
Speaker 1: know they want to feel it. They want to feel
4:47
Speaker 1: these changes that they've talked about. They can, but they're
4:50
Speaker 1: getting blocked every time they do it. The second thing is,
4:54
Speaker 1: you've got to get this thing done. Like right now,
4:57
Speaker 1: people are feeling the pain. This is now a dangerous
4:59
Speaker 1: situation like with the flights, And I mean that now,
5:02
Speaker 1: what does it mean? What does it mean to nuke
5:04
Speaker 1: the filibuster? Why do I say f it? Well, it's
5:08
Speaker 1: a it's a system built in place for checks and
5:11
Speaker 1: balances where the minority party can can you know, push
5:14
Speaker 1: back on this and block something like the Continuing Resolution
5:16
Speaker 1: bill to fund the government. They can, you know, if
5:20
Speaker 1: they have the votes to block this thing. They can
5:23
Speaker 1: to nuke the filibuster and get rid of it. Is
5:25
Speaker 1: you change the procedural rules and all you do is
5:27
Speaker 1: vote to change it to make to in the Senate,
5:30
Speaker 1: to make sure that it's a simple majority would pass
5:33
Speaker 1: things like the Continuing Resolution bill. That's just just what
5:36
Speaker 1: it means. So you create another vote to get rid
5:38
Speaker 1: of the rule that allows you to block this thing
5:40
Speaker 1: with a filibuster. That's all. But the danger has always been, oh,
5:45
Speaker 1: that comes with payback, because they're going to do the
5:47
Speaker 1: same thing to you. But we've reached a point, like
5:49
Speaker 1: Trump said, and I've been saying, we're there anyway. They're
5:53
Speaker 1: willing to shut down the country. They're willing to do
5:55
Speaker 1: whatever they have to do. They're willing to lie, cheat,
5:57
Speaker 1: and steal. It doesn't matter. And if you do this,
6:00
Speaker 1: and here's my main reason, personally, you gotta have your
6:03
Speaker 1: own reasons. Nobody's here to tell you what to do.
6:05
Speaker 1: My main reason is if they are able to pass
6:08
Speaker 1: voter ID laws and get rid of and institute same
6:12
Speaker 1: day balloting, same day voting, that's what I want to
6:15
Speaker 1: get done. And they would never be able to do
6:17
Speaker 1: that with the way the rules are in place right now.
6:19
Speaker 1: So I'm all in favor of it. I think it's
6:21
Speaker 1: time get rid of it, absolutely get rid of it,
6:23
Speaker 1: and start making some positive impacts for this country. That's
6:26
Speaker 1: what I'm in favor of. Or you have something like
6:29
Speaker 1: what we saw in New York this week, I'm not
6:32
Speaker 1: gonna spend a lot of time. We already did that
6:34
Speaker 1: yesterday on the communist Jiehattist socialist mayor that's in New
6:40
Speaker 1: York City right now. But going back to Trump for
6:42
Speaker 1: a second. Now, that first speech was at the White
6:45
Speaker 1: House celebrating, you know, and he did that all day
6:46
Speaker 1: yesterday they won year at a bursary, the most consequence
6:49
Speaker 1: of election in American history, and he might have been right.
6:51
Speaker 1: And then last night he went to the Economic Forum
6:53
Speaker 1: in Miami and he talked about many of the same things,
6:56
Speaker 1: but he also did something that's very important. This is
6:58
Speaker 1: why this guy is soeruasive. This is why he's so
7:02
Speaker 1: effective in getting things done. Everybody loves to criticize, the
7:05
Speaker 1: name calling. Yeah, that's part of it. I get it.
7:07
Speaker 1: Everybody loves to you know. They don't think he's they
7:11
Speaker 1: don't think he's a well polished speaker, which I don't
7:14
Speaker 1: think is true at all, because he always makes his
7:16
Speaker 1: point across. And he's an entertainer. This guy has had
7:20
Speaker 1: literally thousands of rallies now with nothing else backing him,
7:24
Speaker 1: no ban, no nothing else, and can entertain people for
7:27
Speaker 1: hours while talking about important stuff. But his most effective gift,
7:30
Speaker 1: I think is his branding. The guy's a marketer. He
7:34
Speaker 1: doesn't come from the political world. He's in it now,
7:37
Speaker 1: but he comes from the business world and he brands things.
7:39
Speaker 1: And he just branded Mondami exactly how we all have
7:43
Speaker 1: to do it and push back to it. This was
7:45
Speaker 1: brilliant and one quick, simple little prif the last.
7:48
Speaker 3: Night results, the decision facing all Americans could not be
7:52
Speaker 3: more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense.
7:58
Speaker 3: Does that make sense to you? Common sense? It's common
8:00
Speaker 3: sense or communism.
8:03
Speaker 1: That's what it is. I mean, that's what We've all
8:04
Speaker 1: been looking for. That's what how I'm going to brand it.
8:06
Speaker 1: This isn't this whole Something amazing did happen this week?
8:11
Speaker 1: We tried to talk about the positives of the New
8:13
Speaker 1: York City election, the mayoral election. Here, this is another
8:16
Speaker 1: one here. You know what you're not gonna hear so
8:18
Speaker 1: much you still will, but much less these days left
8:21
Speaker 1: versus right, blue versus red, Democrats versus Republicans. Is they
8:26
Speaker 1: try to put everybody in labels when most of us
8:28
Speaker 1: are right here, just about in the middle, but a
8:30
Speaker 1: little right of center. That's where most of the country is. You,
8:33
Speaker 1: me and everybody else. Just common sense. Now we can
8:35
Speaker 1: finally say it now it's something you can wrap your
8:37
Speaker 1: head around. And this is how we can describe it. Well, Archie,
8:40
Speaker 1: oh oh, you're against that, that's how you feel politically. No,
8:46
Speaker 1: I'm just common sense. And then that's all it is.
8:48
Speaker 1: It comes down. How can you vote for that, for
8:51
Speaker 1: that fascist? No, I'm just common sense versus criticism. I'm
8:56
Speaker 1: team common sense. That's all it is. That's how all
8:59
Speaker 1: of us have to push back this and these crazy,
9:01
Speaker 1: crazy times. That's how you respond. That's how you respond
9:03
Speaker 1: to it. And he just labeled it right there, and
9:06
Speaker 1: now I see it everywhere. That's what it is. Now.
9:08
Speaker 1: This isn't blue red, This isn't donkeys versus elephants. This
9:12
Speaker 1: is common sense, normal, every day hard working Americans versus communists.
9:16
Speaker 1: Is the best of all his labels, is ever laid
9:20
Speaker 1: laid out? That's his best one. It's because we can
9:23
Speaker 1: use it. You can use that in your everyday life today.
9:27
Speaker 1: Who are you gonna vote for common sense? Well? Who
9:29
Speaker 1: is that? Well? Who? Well, I don't know you. Whoever,
9:32
Speaker 1: whoever brings the most common sense for Americans, that's my team,
9:36
Speaker 1: brilliant perfect. Now how about the other team, how about
9:38
Speaker 1: the other side? I know I'm breaking my promise. I know,
9:41
Speaker 1: at the end of the pod yesterday I promised you
9:44
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to talk about this guy as much,
9:45
Speaker 1: but just give me this one, just to this was,
9:49
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this was so rich. Mom, Donnie in
9:54
Speaker 1: less than twenty four hours started asking for money already.
10:01
Speaker 1: Just let me. I gotta play this for you again.
10:03
Speaker 1: The timeline. This is less than twenty four hours after
10:06
Speaker 1: getting elected, he held a press conference asking for donations.
10:11
Speaker 1: I can't just I won't play. I won't mention them
10:13
Speaker 1: a lot, but this is this is perfect.
10:15
Speaker 4: Thank you for the question. Is Transition twenty twenty five
10:17
Speaker 4: dot com. And you know, there were a few months
10:21
Speaker 4: ago where I told supporters across the city to stop donating,
10:26
Speaker 4: and today I am asking them to start once again.
10:29
Speaker 4: And I am asking them to do so because of
10:31
Speaker 4: the fact that a transition that can meet the moment
10:34
Speaker 4: of preparing for January first is one that will require staff,
10:39
Speaker 4: it will require research, it will require.
10:44
Speaker 1: I'm saying again, less than twenty four hours, he's asking
10:50
Speaker 1: for money already. You you fools, you absolute fools. Okay,
10:55
Speaker 1: it is what it is, this is what you're voted for.
10:57
Speaker 1: They wow, But how's it happen, I'm done with him,
11:01
Speaker 1: But how's it happen? I think we all kind of
11:03
Speaker 1: came to this point. A lot of us have this
11:05
Speaker 1: national discussion. We did in my family, we had a
11:08
Speaker 1: big discussion about this, like, how does it happen? How
11:10
Speaker 1: do so many young minds, in the case of New
11:12
Speaker 1: York City, how do they turn to this thing? A
11:16
Speaker 1: lot of it is what we came to. The decision was, Yeah,
11:19
Speaker 1: you can blame the media. You can blame the education
11:21
Speaker 1: system that have taught communism's good, it's great, and they've
11:25
Speaker 1: heard this their whole lives. Now they're in college, now,
11:27
Speaker 1: they live in New York, now, they live everywhere. So
11:30
Speaker 1: if you don't think this is going to happen in
11:31
Speaker 1: other cities, you're crazy. Because the main element here is
11:36
Speaker 1: they don't feel like they're part of the economy. Less
11:39
Speaker 1: than thirty percent of kids people I call them kids
11:42
Speaker 1: now under thirty five, less than thirty percent own a home.
11:46
Speaker 1: That's really bad. They don't feel like they have a shot.
11:49
Speaker 1: They talk to somebody that's young, talk to a millennial
11:52
Speaker 1: or a gen Z or they don't think they're ever
11:54
Speaker 1: going to own a home or some property or investments
11:57
Speaker 1: or stocks or anything, or be part of the economy
11:59
Speaker 1: in the world what we always love to call the
12:01
Speaker 1: American dream. They don't feel like they're part of it.
12:03
Speaker 1: It's been building that way because of the national debt
12:05
Speaker 1: and inflation for years, but also President mush Brain, which
12:08
Speaker 1: we're still trying to climb out of. His economy just
12:11
Speaker 1: wrecked everything that was a big part of this thing
12:13
Speaker 1: as well, So we're trying to climb out of that,
12:16
Speaker 1: which is why I mean, that's how the bad stuff happens.
12:19
Speaker 1: That's that's why you know, a mom Dannie happens because
12:23
Speaker 1: they turn to him because they have, you know, cluelessly,
12:26
Speaker 1: they think that's their best option. And here he is
12:28
Speaker 1: begging for money already. But more importantly than that, these
12:32
Speaker 1: people in the Republican team are going to get wiped
12:35
Speaker 1: out like they did Tuesday night if they don't start
12:38
Speaker 1: to get things done and start to make this country
12:40
Speaker 1: and this life affordable and this way of life affordable
12:44
Speaker 1: for young people again, even because they're to completely reject them.
12:47
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, people my age and
12:48
Speaker 1: your age too, are going to do the exact same thing.
12:51
Speaker 1: So this is why I was so so so so
12:54
Speaker 1: glad to hear that there's a focus on affordability for
12:58
Speaker 1: this coming, for this coming, which goes back to that
13:00
Speaker 1: filibuster again. They got to get the only way they
13:02
Speaker 1: can get this thing done, and and next sum of
13:04
Speaker 1: the programs they're talking about is to get rid of
13:07
Speaker 1: that filibuster and pass some of their deals while they can.
13:10
Speaker 1: Here's the first piece of good information. According to Politico,
13:14
Speaker 1: which is no friend of this administration, they reported this,
13:17
Speaker 1: which tells you it's true Trump to focus on affordability.
13:21
Speaker 1: There's that word next year. White House advisor tells Politico. Oh,
13:26
Speaker 1: that's good news because that's not just your price is
13:29
Speaker 1: at Publics or Kroger or wherever you shop. That's not
13:33
Speaker 1: just thanksgiving. Affordability that in a capital a that means
13:37
Speaker 1: home ownership and property ownership. Followed up by this, So
13:41
Speaker 1: there was another event last night. This was at Auburn University.
13:44
Speaker 1: Turning Point. USA is still holding events and they have
13:47
Speaker 1: a lot of Charlie Kirk's God Rest his soul friends,
13:50
Speaker 1: you know, helping him out with this, a lot of
13:52
Speaker 1: administration officials other people speaking about this. They're keeping the
13:55
Speaker 1: events going. There's one organization on the Conservative side of
13:58
Speaker 1: things that the Libs at absolutely are are. It scares
14:01
Speaker 1: the Bejesus out of him because this organization gets people
14:05
Speaker 1: to vote, gets young people to vote. So now follow
14:09
Speaker 1: up that report in Politico about the administration talking about
14:12
Speaker 1: affordability and all of a sudden, you see that word
14:15
Speaker 1: all over the place these days, and that's a good thing.
14:17
Speaker 1: This is what you should support and reach out to
14:19
Speaker 1: them and tell them this is so big for you,
14:21
Speaker 1: me and everybody else and your kids. Now, the event
14:24
Speaker 1: last night. This is one of those friends of Charlie Kirk,
14:26
Speaker 1: Benny Johnson. You've heard me talk about him. He's a
14:28
Speaker 1: podcaster who's a friend of Charlie Kirk. But it's a
14:30
Speaker 1: big part of turning point now because they want to
14:32
Speaker 1: keep this going. Listen to what he said. Why is
14:34
Speaker 1: this important because they have the ear of this administration.
14:38
Speaker 1: Trump listens to them a lot. This is an organization
14:41
Speaker 1: that reaches out to young Americans Gen Z and millennials,
14:46
Speaker 1: and they're talking about home ownership. This is massively, massively
14:50
Speaker 1: important what he said last night. Here's Benny Johnson in Well.
14:52
Speaker 5: I think I'm going to say here is that in
14:57
Speaker 5: the Constitution it says life and the pursuit of property
15:03
Speaker 5: in certain other instances, and that's something that we've lost
15:08
Speaker 5: in this country. I'm particularly horrified that the American dream
15:14
Speaker 5: of owning a home is so out of reach for
15:18
Speaker 5: all of the young people here. If you are thirty
15:21
Speaker 5: five and younger home ownership rates are at thirty percent,
15:25
Speaker 5: that's down by half from a generation ago. And we
15:29
Speaker 5: need to fix that.
15:30
Speaker 1: Who here wants to do so what are they doing.
15:33
Speaker 1: They're coming up with and helping the administration, which they
15:36
Speaker 1: probably are anyway, develop plans to help young people get
15:40
Speaker 1: into homes, loans, affordability, helping out with the housing market.
15:44
Speaker 1: This is incredibly important to all of us, not just them.
15:48
Speaker 1: And if you're thinking, well, I don't have kids, I
15:49
Speaker 1: don't care. I've got my home and I don't know,
15:51
Speaker 1: it does affect you because I have enough of those kids
15:53
Speaker 1: don't feel like they're part of the economy. You have
15:55
Speaker 1: New York spreading across the country is what you have.
15:58
Speaker 1: This is important for all of us. And by the way,
16:00
Speaker 1: it's just the right thing to do to have younger
16:03
Speaker 1: generation kids feeling like they at least have a shot
16:06
Speaker 1: in this economy. And I'm telling you I swear to
16:08
Speaker 1: you as I hear it every single day right now,
16:10
Speaker 1: they don't feel they do. This is massively important, and
16:14
Speaker 1: it's massively important to support that affordability word. For you
16:18
Speaker 1: to make your voices heard and me as well, to
16:20
Speaker 1: make sure the administration keeps on pushing this. This should
16:23
Speaker 1: be the focus of all of next year and the
16:25
Speaker 1: rest of the administration, or we're done. This is it.
16:27
Speaker 1: This is the most important issue. So it's really good
16:30
Speaker 1: news that that turning Point organization, first of all, is
16:33
Speaker 1: still there, and secondly, it's putting the pressure on the
16:35
Speaker 1: administration to make homes affordable for their audience, which are
16:38
Speaker 1: young kids, hugely important. This is great. You should take
16:41
Speaker 1: this as great news. It's excellent because they do listen
16:45
Speaker 1: to them. So a couple of good pieces, and watch
16:47
Speaker 1: out with watch that affordability word now that you're aware
16:50
Speaker 1: of it and what it really means home ownership, not
16:52
Speaker 1: just gas and grocery prices. You gotta see it everywhere
16:55
Speaker 1: coming up soon, and it's good. All right, let's lighten
16:57
Speaker 1: things up a little bit. I didn't expect this to
16:59
Speaker 1: happen so soon, but oh it's happening. So I don't
17:03
Speaker 1: know if we've all figured out what the impact of
17:05
Speaker 1: AI is going to be, you've got the tech nerds
17:08
Speaker 1: up there. I mean nerds, I mean just you know,
17:09
Speaker 1: they know it better than normal people like you and
17:11
Speaker 1: I do. I got about the dangers of AI, and
17:14
Speaker 1: mostly what they're talking about is first they talked about
17:16
Speaker 1: automation and taking jobs. I get that. But then they
17:18
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, the control of information, you know,
17:21
Speaker 1: and I get that too, But on a user level,
17:24
Speaker 1: just everyday stuff. I can't begin to tell you how
17:26
Speaker 1: much I've used chat, GPT and grock for things, not
17:31
Speaker 1: just information, like a lot of different things, and it's fantastic,
17:35
Speaker 1: whether it's either quick reference or helping you know, reward
17:38
Speaker 1: something or rewrite something, or maybe a marketing plan and something,
17:41
Speaker 1: or bouncing ideas off that because what they do is
17:43
Speaker 1: you can buy you know, it's like, what do you
17:45
Speaker 1: think about this for a marketing tagline? And based on
17:50
Speaker 1: all the information that's out there online, grock or chat,
17:52
Speaker 1: GPT or somebody else will will say what's what's worked
17:55
Speaker 1: and what's past. It's fantastic. It's great for that kind
17:58
Speaker 1: of stuff. I know it has a bit side, but
18:01
Speaker 1: we shouldn't try to kill off. Not that we could, no,
18:03
Speaker 1: we should try to kill off the idea of AI
18:06
Speaker 1: at all. But there's one. I think we found the
18:09
Speaker 1: area where people are pushing back the most. I think
18:11
Speaker 1: we found it, and it's through the Coca Cola Christmas Ad,
18:15
Speaker 1: which is out already. I know it feels early, I know,
18:18
Speaker 1: I get you. Since early October we've had stores stocked
18:22
Speaker 1: with Christmas trees and Christmas items. I get it. It's
18:24
Speaker 1: happening earlier and earlier. But the Coca Cola Christmas Ad
18:28
Speaker 1: this year is also done with complete AI generation like
18:32
Speaker 1: they did last year, but they've doubled or tripled down
18:35
Speaker 1: on it this year, and their explanation is tripled down
18:37
Speaker 1: as well. I know this is mostly a visual I
18:39
Speaker 1: get it, but at least you're just an audio If
18:41
Speaker 1: you're an audio only listener, you could at least hear
18:44
Speaker 1: what part of the commercial is. But this is what
18:46
Speaker 1: has everybody so upset. Man, the backlashes. Now it's got
19:05
Speaker 1: Coke trucks and otters and Polar bears and you know,
19:08
Speaker 1: Christmas y things and the music and all this other stuff.
19:12
Speaker 1: If you spend any time whatsoever online reading comments sections,
19:16
Speaker 1: and I recommend it or reading backlash to this kind
19:19
Speaker 1: of thing. People are pissed, like shockingly so, way more
19:25
Speaker 1: than I would have thought of. And I tried to
19:28
Speaker 1: ask myself why this is such a backlash against this.
19:31
Speaker 1: I think the area when we're all learning this in
19:35
Speaker 1: the digital age, what AI is going to mean to us.
19:37
Speaker 1: I think people are okay with it with technology and
19:39
Speaker 1: helping out as long as it serves a purpose. I
19:42
Speaker 1: think they hate it in advertising, especially with advertising with
19:46
Speaker 1: something like this traditional Christmas y kind of stuff, because
19:50
Speaker 1: people love it. They love these Coke ads, they love
19:53
Speaker 1: the nostalgia of Christmas and holidays. This is the one
19:57
Speaker 1: that has the pushback. This is where people are hissed
20:00
Speaker 1: off at this. I mean, look at some of the
20:02
Speaker 1: comments and reaction that Coke is getting on this and
20:04
Speaker 1: their ad agencies are getting. They are they are like livid,
20:08
Speaker 1: but they're not backing down. So this has made it
20:11
Speaker 1: to Variety and Entertainment Weekly and all these other entertainment
20:14
Speaker 1: organizations and discussing film. The company is not backing down
20:19
Speaker 1: at all. Listen to this. They say they used even
20:22
Speaker 1: fewer people to make this one this year. Okay, so
20:24
Speaker 1: the entertainment people are like, oh, you're taking more jobs.
20:27
Speaker 1: Here's the statement from Coca Cola. Are you ready. We
20:31
Speaker 1: need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope, the
20:34
Speaker 1: genies out of the bottle, and you're not going to
20:36
Speaker 1: put it back in. Wow, that's an interesting statement from
20:43
Speaker 1: Coca Cola. So they're not backing down at all. And
20:46
Speaker 1: you know what, you know why they're doing it because
20:48
Speaker 1: they cut down on costs, so it's costs a lot
20:50
Speaker 1: less money and they can crank this thing out. But
20:53
Speaker 1: I don't know, doesn't bother me either way. I think
20:54
Speaker 1: it's okay. But I think what we're learning, and I
20:57
Speaker 1: think what these marketing companies are learning is the pushback
21:01
Speaker 1: is happening when you mess with people's nostalgia. And probably
21:05
Speaker 1: for smaller companies like Mom and pops, if you use
21:08
Speaker 1: AI generated marketing on like social media stuff, I think
21:11
Speaker 1: that's going to have a negative effect. We're still at
21:14
Speaker 1: the point, maybe not too much longer, where you can
21:16
Speaker 1: see what's AI generated and people hated in advertising. They
21:18
Speaker 1: hate it until it gets better or we're so beaten
21:21
Speaker 1: down the word just used to it. But man, if
21:24
Speaker 1: you want a good laugh, an eye opening experience, look
21:27
Speaker 1: at some of the backlash to this new cocad people
21:29
Speaker 1: are livid it didn't look like cokeback and now anytime soon.
21:33
Speaker 1: Biggest takeaway remember that tagline, this is what you use.
21:37
Speaker 1: This is the most beautiful thing of all. People love
21:39
Speaker 1: to give you a hard time because you simply have
21:41
Speaker 1: common sense. You know, they're calling you some sort of
21:44
Speaker 1: an extremist. This is your line, and the President just
21:47
Speaker 1: tagged it yesterday last night in Miami. No, I'm just
21:51
Speaker 1: common sense versus communism. That's what perfect perfect And watch
21:56
Speaker 1: for that backlash against Coca and AI. It's only going
21:59
Speaker 1: to grow. Thanks for finding me. I appreciate you. I
22:01
Speaker 1: love you. Download share with all that good stuff like
22:05
Speaker 1: I don't know even audio podcast listeners, whatever platform you

Speaker 1: like to get those on. It's just subscribe on Spotify.
22:11

22:14
