10-19: Is U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin Threatening To Jail Conservatives? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:05
Speaker 1: I love coming in here on a Monday and starting
0:06
Speaker 1: it off with something light and entertaining and fun and
0:09
Speaker 1: something about the weekend or entertainment or for sports. That's
0:13
Speaker 1: not today. I talk about stuff that's going on in
0:17
Speaker 1: society pretty much in a reaction to it and ask
0:19
Speaker 1: the right questions, you know, to find out really what's
0:21
Speaker 1: going on. That's what I do. Some things are absolutely,
0:26
Speaker 1: purely the definition of dark political crap. that you just
0:31
Speaker 1: can't ignore. I mean, you can't. But the reason why
0:34
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it is the reaction to this should
0:36
Speaker 1: give you hope. The reaction to a sitting U.S. senator
0:40
Speaker 1: coming out and threatening to jail political opponents, in this
0:43
Speaker 1: case conservatives, because she's a Democrat. She's more than a Democrat.
0:48
Speaker 1: And a very well-connected one. You can't ignore that. I mean,
0:51
Speaker 1: you just can't. And it's not like, you know, I
0:54
Speaker 1: know a lot of you guys. I know a lot
0:55
Speaker 1: of you personally, too. I see the reactions of a
0:58
Speaker 1: lot of you that I've never met. Not exactly... 100%
1:02
Speaker 1: Trump supporters. A lot of you are, for sure. But
1:05
Speaker 1: I think the reaction so far of most people that
1:08
Speaker 1: I've seen anyway of being absolutely outraged at United States
1:14
Speaker 1: Senator Alyssa Slotkin threatening to jail political opponents, conservatives, to
1:21
Speaker 1: discourage people from getting involved and then doubling down on that.
1:25
Speaker 1: This isn't something you can ignore. The hope is, I
1:27
Speaker 1: think this is enough to get people actually outraged by
1:31
Speaker 1: this and to stand up against it because it's unreal
1:33
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable this is one of those things one of
1:36
Speaker 1: those stories I'll play for you exactly what she said
1:38
Speaker 1: here in just a second where it was big trending
1:42
Speaker 1: story obviously it still is I read the description of
1:46
Speaker 1: it before I saw the video of what she said
1:48
Speaker 1: and I said this is this is one of those
1:50
Speaker 1: cases it's never as bad as you know the original
1:53
Speaker 1: headline is or what somebody's trying to post on here
1:55
Speaker 1: no it actually is and then everybody jumped all over
1:57
Speaker 1: it's worse actually We'll talk about it. But is this happening?
2:00
Speaker 1: Is a U.S. Senator, Alyssa Slotkin, threatening to jail conservatives? Well,
2:05
Speaker 1: we already know the answer to that. You'll see here
2:07
Speaker 1: in the video if you haven't seen it already. Yes.
2:09
Speaker 1: Here's the follow-up question, though, the real one that matters.
2:12
Speaker 1: Is anything going to be done about it on the
2:15
Speaker 1: other side? I have my questions because you would think now,
2:18
Speaker 1: 24 hours after this story broke, there would already be
2:20
Speaker 1: a massive reaction. There's some, but not the appropriate one,
2:24
Speaker 1: at least as of this live stream recording. We'll find out.
2:27
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for hanging out with me. Sorry it's
2:29
Speaker 1: so heavy to start off on Monday, but we don't
2:32
Speaker 1: determine what the news is. We don't write the rules.
2:34
Speaker 1: We just ask the questions. Thanks for finding Wicked Radio
2:36
Speaker 1: on the live stream, on X and YouTube, and Facebook
2:39
Speaker 1: on replay there as well, and the audio podcast always
2:42
Speaker 1: there for you on your favorite audio podcast platforms. Thanks
2:45
Speaker 1: for finding that too. All right, let's get right to it.
2:47
Speaker 1: Woke up yesterday and I said, this isn't, okay, people
2:49
Speaker 1: are hyping this up. What really did she say? It
2:52
Speaker 1: can't be this bad. Oh, it's that bad and worse.
2:55
Speaker 1: Now this is, Alyssa Slotkin, a little background, a CIA operative.
3:01
Speaker 2: True.
3:01
Speaker 1: It's not conspiracy theory. CIA agent who moved back to
3:06
Speaker 1: Michigan and ran as a moderate. It's funny to say
3:11
Speaker 1: how loud now.
3:13
Speaker 2: One.
3:14
Speaker 1: So now she's magically a U.S. senator, but still very
3:17
Speaker 1: well connected, as you can hear here. And then, you know,
3:22
Speaker 1: becomes a. a thorn in the side to Trump administration,
3:26
Speaker 1: obviously very well-connected, very powerful, says things like this. And
3:30
Speaker 1: we'll get to the seditious six. She was part of
3:31
Speaker 1: that group too from a few months ago. Remember them?
3:34
Speaker 1: But this was the headline maker right now. She goes
3:35
Speaker 1: to the University of Chicago and there's some sort of
3:37
Speaker 1: a think tank and they have a podcast for it
3:40
Speaker 1: and they ask all kinds of questions and why, you know,
3:42
Speaker 1: anybody that opposes them and academia is a bad, horrible person, whatever.
3:46
Speaker 1: And then this, there's that phrase saying the quiet part
3:50
Speaker 1: out loud. And then there's screaming the quiet part out
3:55
Speaker 1: loud and saying something like this. And here you go
3:57
Speaker 1: in its entirety.
3:58
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying. I want to look at
3:59
Speaker 2: these signature cases and not just focus on the president,
4:03
Speaker 2: but on the people who enabled him. I want young
4:06
Speaker 2: people coming out of school to say, should I go
4:09
Speaker 2: work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun. I
4:11
Speaker 2: might get an opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord,
4:14
Speaker 2: that might be buying myself a ton of problems that
4:18
Speaker 2: I don't want. And so let me avoid participating in that.
4:22
Speaker 2: I want that deterrence message.
4:27
Speaker 1: And I've seen it like 15 times now, a lot
4:30
Speaker 1: of people have, because it's just going viral everywhere, as
4:34
Speaker 1: it should. That's the part of the good news and
4:36
Speaker 1: the part of this story here. Now, I could be
4:39
Speaker 1: nasty about it and just say, that's every nasty social
4:42
Speaker 1: studies teacher I ever had in my life. That might
4:44
Speaker 1: ring a bell towards you there, but that's neither here
4:46
Speaker 1: nor there. That's just my opinion. But not only... Going
4:50
Speaker 1: after your political opponents, but doing it to discourage young
4:55
Speaker 1: Americans who may be conservative-leaning to make up their own
4:58
Speaker 1: minds so they don't ever get involved as well, to
4:59
Speaker 1: scare them. To jail your political opponents, to prosecute them,
5:03
Speaker 1: to weaponize the government against them, to make sure that
5:08
Speaker 1: young Americans never get involved as well with their own
5:12
Speaker 1: take on things in the future. You can't get any
5:14
Speaker 1: darker than that. You can't. You can't do it. And
5:16
Speaker 1: I said there in the introduction, I don't care if
5:18
Speaker 1: you're like you don't you hate Trump. I don't care
5:20
Speaker 1: if you have TDS. I don't care if you hate
5:23
Speaker 1: the way things are now. You hate the political. You
5:25
Speaker 1: can't have this. You just you can't have it. You really, truly,
5:30
Speaker 1: absolutely cannot have her saying that. Here's the big question
5:35
Speaker 1: that most normal people who aren't so wrapped up and
5:38
Speaker 1: involved with this stuff have. This is the most common
5:40
Speaker 1: question I saw. First, let me get to the good
5:42
Speaker 1: part here. This should make you feel good. The outrage
5:45
Speaker 1: over this is strong. A few years ago, I'll put
5:48
Speaker 1: it at three years ago, we never even would have
5:49
Speaker 1: heard of this, ever. Would have been still working behind
5:52
Speaker 1: the scenes and doing all this other stuff. You know,
5:54
Speaker 1: the political persecutions we saw before with the first Trump administration.
5:59
Speaker 1: You know, when it was 45, not 47. We saw it.
6:02
Speaker 1: Now you're aware of it because now it's out there
6:04
Speaker 1: and now we have more than ever access to this information.
6:07
Speaker 1: So normal people got a hold of this and said,
6:11
Speaker 1: why is she so comfortable in saying this out loud? Like,
6:14
Speaker 1: why is this so... She knows she's on camera. Why
6:17
Speaker 1: is she so comfortable? I think the answer is this,
6:20
Speaker 1: and this sucks, because she knows there's not going to
6:23
Speaker 1: be any pushback. She knows there's not... There's been outrage
6:26
Speaker 1: from normal people. A couple of people back and forth
6:28
Speaker 1: have said it. Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House,
6:31
Speaker 1: the other side of Congress, has expressed outrage. She says
6:35
Speaker 1: things like that because there's no pushback. As of yet. Now,
6:39
Speaker 1: here we are over 24 hours since she said it.
6:42
Speaker 1: And obviously been working on this for months, if not years.
6:46
Speaker 1: Where is her Senate leader? Where's John Thune? Right. The
6:50
Speaker 1: guy that's the Senate leader right now, depending on the midterms. Right.
6:54
Speaker 1: The guy that is supposed to be the main guy
6:58
Speaker 1: because of that slim Republican control in the Senate. Where
7:02
Speaker 1: is he? Has he said anything? Has he done anything?
7:04
Speaker 1: Is he is he outrageous? No, absolutely nothing. that old
7:10
Speaker 1: Republican guard, toothless, gutless, spineless, doing nothing. And she and
7:18
Speaker 1: people like her know that, that they will not fight back.
7:20
Speaker 1: They won't do it. They won't do it. She knows
7:23
Speaker 1: there's no pushback. She knows that. Where is the, where's
7:26
Speaker 1: the whole, where's the Republican, where's the opposition Republican party
7:29
Speaker 1: to oppose her for doing this? Where are other Democrats
7:33
Speaker 1: to stand up and say, listen, no Trump fan, but
7:36
Speaker 1: that's not right. You can't say that. We don't want
7:38
Speaker 1: to go get engaged in lawfare every single election cycle.
7:42
Speaker 1: Where's the push? There's no pushback. That's why. And that's
7:45
Speaker 1: the answer that normal people have had to this. Why
7:48
Speaker 1: is she so comfortable in saying that out loud? Why? Well,
7:51
Speaker 1: that's why. And that's why you also have this. Not
7:54
Speaker 1: only saying that, and this thing went everywhere and most
7:58
Speaker 1: people are aware of it, shocking to most people where
8:00
Speaker 1: you say, oh my God, this is like... Because... They
8:05
Speaker 1: want to put in jail anybody that just opposes them
8:07
Speaker 1: on policy. I mean, that's actually happening. It's not a
8:10
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory anymore. She's saying it. Not only that, and
8:14
Speaker 1: then doubles down on it.
8:17
Speaker 2: Right.
8:18
Speaker 1: Now, you'd expect in a normal thing, even if she
8:20
Speaker 1: was lying through her teeth, you'd say, I misspoke, I
8:22
Speaker 1: was worked up, my words are taken out of context, blah, blah. Nope,
8:26
Speaker 1: not this lady. Here's a response to this. Now, one senator,
8:30
Speaker 1: here's some pushback, Mike Lee said, It's absolutely disgraceful to
8:33
Speaker 1: threaten young Americans for participating in politics and serving their country, blah, blah, blah.
8:37
Speaker 1: She writes, of course, in a long, wordy, three-paragraph post-response,
8:43
Speaker 1: doubles down on her statement, spare me the pearl clutching.
8:46
Speaker 1: I won't read the whole thing for you. Especially from
8:48
Speaker 1: Republican members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who cheered
8:53
Speaker 1: President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn't like. See,
8:57
Speaker 1: here's the turnaround. Here's the projection. People like her are
9:01
Speaker 1: always guilty of of what they accuse the other people
9:03
Speaker 1: of doing, right? They're claiming, no, we're saving democracy and
9:07
Speaker 1: saving the Constitution from those who are weaponizing the government. Well,
9:10
Speaker 1: it's really her. Now we can say that out loud
9:12
Speaker 1: because it's clear as day. She said it, what she
9:14
Speaker 1: wants to do. On and on and on and on
9:16
Speaker 1: and on and on. America is still a place where
9:18
Speaker 1: the rule of law matters. Those laws should apply to
9:21
Speaker 1: everyone equally. If you have aided in the corrupt use
9:24
Speaker 1: of U.S. taxpayer dollars to benefit the president or his family,
9:27
Speaker 1: where is that done? See, they just throw these things
9:29
Speaker 1: out there and there's just no. And again, try to
9:31
Speaker 1: look at this as just independent as you possibly can.
9:35
Speaker 1: Try to take a political party out of it, being
9:37
Speaker 1: independent in this one, and try to say everything they're saying,
9:41
Speaker 1: where is it done? How has it benefited that family?
9:44
Speaker 1: Where is it? What is the ultimate crime that this
9:47
Speaker 1: particular president has done that's in office right now? Try
9:49
Speaker 1: to bust up corruption, close the border, right? Push for
9:53
Speaker 1: election integrity, cut taxes, all that's bad stuff. because it's
9:58
Speaker 1: a threat to their political power. so they turn that
10:00
Speaker 1: around people like her and they say we're gonna weaponize
10:04
Speaker 1: we're gonna go after those that dare do this and
10:06
Speaker 1: they always claim it's a threat to democracy and all
10:08
Speaker 1: this other crap doubles down on that now here's the
10:12
Speaker 1: thing you may be watching you're listening to this later
10:15
Speaker 1: and by now maybe there's a response to I would
10:18
Speaker 1: look for, personally, as an American, I'm looking for the
10:21
Speaker 1: president to respond directly to this. The smart thing would do,
10:26
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's ever going to happen. This
10:27
Speaker 1: is why she's so comfortable in saying this kind of thing.
10:30
Speaker 1: The smart thing to do would be for, right ahead
10:33
Speaker 1: of the midterms, how many days away are we right now?
10:36
Speaker 1: That entire section of what she said at the University
10:39
Speaker 1: of Chicago over the weekend, that entire thing should be
10:42
Speaker 1: made into a political ad. They should put all of
10:44
Speaker 1: their money into that. They should show Americans really what
10:47
Speaker 1: they're up against. What's actually happening with intelligence officers becoming U.S.
10:53
Speaker 1: senators looking to jail their political opponents? Because that's the
10:56
Speaker 1: bottom line of what's happening here with her and is
10:59
Speaker 1: brazen about saying it out loud because she knows there's
11:01
Speaker 1: no pushback. If they were smart and had balls, they
11:05
Speaker 1: would turn that entire thing into a political ad and
11:08
Speaker 1: would show it to the rest of the country. Is
11:10
Speaker 1: that going to happen? I really doubt it. But I'm
11:14
Speaker 1: looking for some kind of response. Where's the FBI director?
11:18
Speaker 1: Where's the director of the CIA? At least speaking out
11:20
Speaker 1: against this kind of stuff. Will there be any kind
11:22
Speaker 1: of response? And like I said, most of you watch
11:25
Speaker 1: or listen to this later after the live stream. I
11:27
Speaker 1: just knock it out now to get it out of
11:28
Speaker 1: the way, and I'm better live. Is it done already?
11:31
Speaker 1: It may be done already. Maybe there is some kind
11:33
Speaker 1: of response, but not as of yet. It's taken 24 hours,
11:36
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. Nothing. Nothing there. And
11:39
Speaker 1: they should know. They should know this has happened. Remember
11:42
Speaker 1: a few months ago we were talking about the seditious six?
11:45
Speaker 1: There was her, Alyssa Slotkin. There was Maggie Goodlander. You know,
11:48
Speaker 1: all with intelligence connections, you know, right? All with deep
11:53
Speaker 1: state connections, and then they go into politics. Of course,
11:55
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly, the bald guy, the astronaut guy. Remember they
11:58
Speaker 1: all called on members of government, military members, first responders
12:03
Speaker 1: to absolutely ignore orders for peace and law and order.
12:07
Speaker 1: Remember that? She was part of that. Here they were.
12:09
Speaker 1: Remember the seditious six? She's one of them. Should have
12:12
Speaker 1: known it was coming.
12:14
Speaker 2: You can refuse illegal orders.
12:16
Speaker 1: There she is.
12:16
Speaker 2: You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry
12:19
Speaker 2: out orders that violate.
12:21
Speaker 1: The law or our Constitution. We know this is hard.
12:24
Speaker 1: And that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.
12:26
Speaker 2: But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy,
12:29
Speaker 2: the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that
12:33
Speaker 2: we have your back.
12:34
Speaker 1: Because now... There she was. Possibly the leader now we
12:37
Speaker 1: know of the seditious six, calling on military members, first responders,
12:42
Speaker 1: government servants... CIA members, intelligence community people, everybody, to just
12:47
Speaker 1: ignore everything that this administration is telling you to do.
12:52
Speaker 1: Should have known. Again, the quiet part out loud, not anymore.
12:57
Speaker 1: They're screaming it out loud, and they're telling you exactly
13:00
Speaker 1: what they're all about. I shouldn't be surprised. But here's
13:03
Speaker 1: the thing. Yes, said it very comfortably, saying those kinds of,
13:10
Speaker 1: and then double down on that ex-post. Right. Pushing back
13:13
Speaker 1: and is defiant and obstinate about it. Yes, for sure.
13:16
Speaker 1: Because she knows that people like her know that there's
13:19
Speaker 1: not going to be any pushback. They they're counting on that.
13:22
Speaker 1: But this is the takeaway. This is what should make
13:24
Speaker 1: you feel good. What they're not counting on and people
13:29
Speaker 1: like I've noticed that people like that in the far, far, far,
13:31
Speaker 1: far tyrannical left are like this. They don't have a
13:35
Speaker 1: basic understanding of what we call conservatism is all about.
13:40
Speaker 1: These young conservatives that she talks about that she's trying
13:42
Speaker 1: to discourage from getting involved because they're scared of being
13:45
Speaker 1: thrown in jail, which is what she and others would
13:47
Speaker 1: like to do, there's something they don't understand about them.
13:52
Speaker 1: They're tough. They're mean, and they're pissed off now because
13:55
Speaker 1: their whole lives they've been called not just deplorable, like
13:58
Speaker 1: Hillary called them, not just that. Think about the young
14:02
Speaker 1: conservatives who's in college right now. all through elementary school,
14:06
Speaker 1: high school, college, all of this stuff, they've been told
14:11
Speaker 1: by an ideology that's taken over every single institution in America,
14:15
Speaker 1: they've been told that they're horrible people. And they've been
14:17
Speaker 1: told by people like Alyssa Slotkin that they should be
14:19
Speaker 1: in jail because they dare push back. That's what they've
14:23
Speaker 1: been told. What people like Alyssa Slotkin don't understand, and
14:28
Speaker 1: the other seditious six, and the other people who want
14:30
Speaker 1: to weaponize government and then turn it around and say
14:32
Speaker 1: it's the other side doing that, What they don't understand
14:35
Speaker 1: is the quiet toughness in the individualism, in the independence
14:40
Speaker 1: that just sparked. Because if you ever suspected that this
14:43
Speaker 1: actually goes on, because of my political name, because I
14:45
Speaker 1: don't want to go along with the crowd, because I
14:47
Speaker 1: have a different opinion. I may push back. I have
14:50
Speaker 1: a more conservative or moderate opinion on how things should be.
14:53
Speaker 1: Because they want to put you in jail for even
14:55
Speaker 1: daring say that? You just... You just activated a whole
15:00
Speaker 1: group and a whole generation of people. They're not going
15:02
Speaker 1: to stop. This just got more people involved in pushing
15:05
Speaker 1: back and fighting people like her. That's what they don't.
15:07
Speaker 1: That's what they never understand is the mindset of patriotic Americans.
15:11
Speaker 1: They never get it. They never do, and that's going
15:14
Speaker 1: to be their downfall. So I would look at this
15:16
Speaker 1: as dark and as ominous, and sorry this is on
15:18
Speaker 1: a Monday. I know, we're all trying to start the
15:19
Speaker 1: work week. As horrifying as that is, take it as
15:22
Speaker 1: a gift that they're saying this, they're screaming this out
15:25
Speaker 1: loud and telegraphing their punches. This is exactly what they
15:28
Speaker 1: want to do. They're telling you how to do it,
15:30
Speaker 1: and now everybody's aware of it. And these young patriotic Americans,
15:35
Speaker 1: they're trying to scare out of getting involved and having
15:37
Speaker 1: a voice and standing up for themselves. You just activated them.
15:40
Speaker 1: So congratulations. This is going to fail terribly for those folks. Unbelievable, though.
15:48
Speaker 1: You know what, though? But here's the other takeaway. We
15:50
Speaker 1: have this information now. Three years ago, you never would
15:52
Speaker 1: have heard this. It just would have been working behind
15:54
Speaker 1: the scenes. That's all. Now you have it. You get
15:57
Speaker 1: to judge it. Judge for yourself, share it among your friends,
16:00
Speaker 1: and that's what it is. And I would also, anybody
16:02
Speaker 1: that says that wants to stay home and not, you
16:05
Speaker 1: don't have to be obsessed by politics, but people that
16:08
Speaker 1: want to stay home and not get involved with the midterms,
16:11
Speaker 1: It's this clip. It's short. Just have this on your
16:15
Speaker 1: phone and show this to them. They said, really, do
16:16
Speaker 1: you want this? That's what I'm saying.
16:17
Speaker 2: I want to look at these signature cases and not
16:20
Speaker 2: just focus on the president, but on the people who
16:23
Speaker 2: enabled him. I want young people coming out of school
16:26
Speaker 2: to say, should I go work for the Trump administration?
16:29
Speaker 1: Like, that sounds fun.
16:29
Speaker 2: I might get an opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord,
16:33
Speaker 2: that might be buying myself a ton of problems that
16:36
Speaker 2: I don't want. And so let me. avoid participating in that.
16:40
Speaker 2: I want that deterrence message.
16:43
Speaker 1: There you go. There's your reason. You want to ignore
16:47
Speaker 1: and stay home? Well, there's the future of your country
16:50
Speaker 1: right there. But I don't think that's going to happen.
16:51
Speaker 1: I think that just activated a whole bunch of people,
16:53
Speaker 1: and that's the good takeaway. All right. Hopefully something lighter tomorrow.
16:57
Speaker 1: Whatever's happening in society, we'll talk about it. I just
16:59
Speaker 1: ask questions. That's all. We know the answer to the question.
17:01
Speaker 1: Is she threatening to jail political opponents?
17:03
Speaker 2: Yes.
