  Speaker 1: Funny things that happened in the headlines always come like
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in cycles, full cycle. There's an act and then a counteract.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And you probably know some people in your life that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: probably went to a No King's rally over the weekend,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: or you know, we're celebrating that, and they came into
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: work on Monday. They're on high because they think they
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: actually did something. Then all of a sudden, on the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: same day, Monday hits and you find out about a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Trump presidential library and an airport named after him. Yesterday
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: yesterday was a bad day, a bad day to have
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Trump arrangement syndrome. They are not taking this well, you know.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And that's a lot about what we're talking about today.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And you know what, about six months ago, I got
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a comment from somebody that said, you know, I really
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: love the podcast, but why do you have to talk
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: about Trump so much? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it's news commentary and he's the main driver of news
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: every single day, even when he's not in office. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that might be a reason. And now with these two announcement,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it sounds like silly things, right, a presidential library whatever.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We all made fun of the Obama one. We've been
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: maybe you visited as a tourist, other presidential libraries. Whatever,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: there's that, and it may maybe you're laughing at Oh,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this is just he go. He's look what he's done.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: He's he forced the legislator to name the Palm Beach
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: International Airport after him. No, it's not really how that works.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But what this does do is Cementsa's legacy. This is
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: all about legacy, and it's all about what happens now
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: because no, he didn't push these forward, but he could
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: have stopped both of these projects, but he didn't. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: him thinking about legacy does affect exactly what's going on
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: right now, all of it does. There is a connection here.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it, and yes that includes Iran anyway.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: We also have a Chicago Bulls basketball player that was fired, cut, jettisoned,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: dispatched because he criticized Pride month. We'll talk about him
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: too and what it means. But it's okay if that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: upsets you, and it may should. Actually I'd go so
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: far as to say the support is getting so far.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: This is a different era. I always talk about that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: people aren't afraid of speaking out anymore, even if you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: get fired. He's got all kinds of support. We'll talk
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: about it. Ex for being here though, appreciate you. Wicked
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Radio live stream and then podcast replay on x and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: YouTube and Facebook and the audio podcast as always. All right,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: let's get right to it. This is what sent the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: TDS sufferers in your life over the edge yesterday. They
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: were all high from the No King's rally, but then
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: they were hit with two pieces of bad news. This
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is mostly a visual, big grandiose video got released and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: then it was everywhere yesterday afternoon. But you get the idea.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It was about the Trump Presidential Library renderings that were
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: just released. Mostly a visual, but you get it. Stunning
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on the water in Miami, all kinds of features when
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it I guess one of the features now now it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the right up and the details of it are everywhere
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this morning in the headlines. One of the features is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: really cool. It's the retired Air Force one plane. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: don't know where they kept it, but they're gonna have it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The retired Air Force one plane from the first presidential
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the first Trump presidency. It's going to be taking up
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: like two floors of the library in Miami and the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Golden Stairs escalator. Remember those from Trump Tower where he
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: announced very historic moment. Actually a very historic piece of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: piece of building will be in this as well, apparently
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: reportedly coming down the stairs as you can travel on
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: them as you pass the first Air Force one plane.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: How about that? What are some other details here? Now?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: The guy behind this project is Eric Trump, builder himself
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: from the Trump Corporation, and they are very, very very
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: invested in Miami itself. That's why this thing's going to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be on the water. Last year he didn't interview. I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: think Benny Johnson did this one where he was talking
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: about some of the plans. What's it going to be about?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This was all And I think the origin of the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: reason why to have him on was to criticize and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: make fun of the Obama Library, because that thing looks
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: like a monolisk in Chicago. It's over budget, it's hideous,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: resident's hated. But the conversation last year, I think it's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: just last spring, about a year ago, Eric Trump promised
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: gave some teasing details about what the Trump Library is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: going to be all about. And this is this is
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: what he said.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I can promise you. First of all, it is gonna
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: be on budget, ahead of schedule. And I can promise
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you is gonna be the greatest shrine to the greatest
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: president of this country has ever had. And I promise you,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be the greatest structure ever
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: created for president by far. It's going to be the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: greatest library ever envision And I promise you it will
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: not look like a jail this much. I can tell you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: That's the part where he's making fun of Obama Library.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Obama Library, by the way, still not scheduled to open
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: yet on time. And it's hideous looking. Look at look
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: at the look at the two side by side whatever.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody likes that thing. But are some other details. Eric
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Trump just posted yesterday, Well, this landmark in the water
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Miami was dead, as a lasting testament to an amazing man,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: an amazing developer, and the greatest president our nation has
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: ever known. He also said that last year these images
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: have never been seen by the public. Enjoy today, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that's what sent the teds sufferers over the edge. Now
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it's fitting. I kind of figured it would be in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Florida somewhere. I kind of thought it would be somewhere
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in Palm Beach, but they have building high restrictions that's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: why it's in Miami and on the water and whatever.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It will be a major tourist attraction. It will be huge.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And a lot goes into putting this thing together, obviously,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: because you have to get city approval, building approval, all
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that other stuff. I had joked for years on here
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and on the air, because Trump loves his sports stars.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: He loved I have said, and I'm telling you, I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: think one of his favorite things about this job is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: having sports stars and celebrities come to the White House.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The celebrities, it'll actually talk to him. But he loves
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the sports memorabilia stuff. He is an incredible collection. I've
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: joked for years it's his presidential library. Is gonna look
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: like a sports bar. Not exactly that. No, No, with
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: all the baseball bats and footballs and helmets and NASCAR
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: hoods and stuff. No, it's not gonna be that. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I would bet you I don't know, I didn't see
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: this in the plans. I would bet you there's gonna
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: be some kind of a section. No, not the whole building. No,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna look like a Hooter's, but there will
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: be some sort of a section with a collection of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: all his sports memorabilitia that he's collected as president and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it's just you know, the Trump Corporation. I would bet
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you that's where this stuff is gonna live, because he
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: has a lot of it, a lot of it, all right.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: If that wasn't enough, Oh boy, especially especially Florida TDS sufferers,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's got Oh he's got a presidential
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: library now and it's on the water. And a lot
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of them would admit it's gonna be beautiful. Oh, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: can't believe this. And then they were hit with the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: double whammy. A major airport, all right, not major, it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: major to me because it's my local airport in airport.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: An international airport in Florida is being named after President Trump.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: This was Now I'm taking special glee on this one
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: because I know this area so well, and I know
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of it travelers so well. I know that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: airport so well. My god, I've been going there for
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: like decades now. It is going to be so fantastic
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to have so many many I unders said. Florida obviously
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is a red state, but this is a this is
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a pocket of deep blue. It just is it always
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: will be it always, you know, DESANDUS one Palm Beach
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: County in the last gubernatorial race. But it was like
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: just by like a you know, a hair a sliver,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that was about it. So there's a lot of people
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: here that use this airport all the time. And think
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: about all the New Yorkers that come down from Laguardier
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: or Kennedy they fly into Palm Beach at National that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: are absolutely going to hate this that it says on
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: their itinerary and they have to make their plans when
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: they're booking online Jet Blue or anybody else. Uh, I'm
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: flying out of LaGuardia, but I have to fly into
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Trump into National. Not only that, this is the part
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that really got me yesterday. You know, they always have
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the airport codes, you know, for instance, Palm Beach Atternational
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: on your little ticket was always PBI. Well not anymore
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: because you know what it is now. You may not
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: have heard this. The airport code for Trump International is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: going to be DJT. That's gonna be the thing to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: But there you had to pass this thing. Now. Now,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this is what's happening already. This is how it's against
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: this against twisted. You're you'll already see some headlines uh.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: From some of your favorite mainstream legacy legacy news outlets
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that are saying that the president forced the hand of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: local government in Palm Beach County, Florida to get this done.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It's not how it works. It has to go to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the state legislature and you have to have somebody sign
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on to it, and then the governor has to sign it,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: which he did just yesterday. But it does take a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Punkle locked machine and announce the vote thirty days, mister speaker,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: show the bill passes. I haven't seen him talk about
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that as much as I've seen him talk about the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Presidential Library, but he'll probably hit that up today in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the talking points. But there you go. Now, what does
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this have to do with today? What does it have
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to do with tomorrow? This is just an ego thing. Oh,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it's just trump lay an ego. Not so much. Well,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you got it. That's kind of baked
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: into the cake with President Trump his ego. Would you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: want a president that doesn't have an ego? I don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: think so. They've all had. Every single president has always
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: thought they should be the next head on Mount Russian War,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: including this guy. But what does it have to do
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: with legacy everything, and yes, yes, I am making a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: connection between these two announcements and Iran always done it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Now you've gone too far. This is just a ridiculous
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: bridge you're building. Am I am I really. Some recent
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: videos have surfaced of President Trump talking about in the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, this was businessman Trump, probably right around the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: time that Art of the Deal came out. He has
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: been publicly stating his intentions with the Middle East, specifically Iran,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: now over forty years. Nobody should be surprised by this.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Now you have a lot of people, a lot of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: your so called MAGA friends too. Oh they're saying, oh,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm done with Trump. He sold me out.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: We said we'd never go to war, we said we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: never got well hold on, now, hold on. He has
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: said for decades now what his intentions would be with Iran,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: that they are the troublemakers and if we ever go in,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: take the oil. So it sounds something that's kind of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: similar to what's happening right now. Now go so far
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: as to say, also, I don't think this is a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: move with Operation Epic Fury that would have happened in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the third year of the presidency. Certainly not the last,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: because just in case, he wants to make sure if
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: this is in and out. So much talk now about
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a prolonged war, so much talk about that, and God
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: forbid it actually happens. And we do have a marine
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: station right off right off the coast ready to go
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: into the Gulf, ready to take out that regime for good, right,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and you hope to God and you pray that this
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: isn't some sort of a long, prolonged war. Nobody wants that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: What I feel very confident in saying is there is
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: no plan for President Trump to make this prolonged. He
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: has never talked about that ever, and he wants to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: make sure that it's not. And I think he's confident
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that it's whatever happens is going to be for the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: benefit of the States, that I believe, and I don't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: think it's going to last long. And I do think
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: he is very concerned about his legacy. Why what's this
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: cut to do at the airport? What's this gut to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: do with the Trump Tower? Because a guy that's concerned
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: about his legacy, Let's be honest, every single president has been,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: does not want this to besmirch his record. He doesn't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: want this, this black strike through his record. Yeah, the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: economy was great, you know, we closed the border. The
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Iran thing though on lasted way too long. It was
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: all this, It was all that what you see. He
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: could have stopped it. He could have stopped the plan
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: for Trump Tower, could have stopped the planning, called it,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: told the state legislatures and the ones who signed on
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to the bill and created the bill to change pond
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: be Chinchin National to Trump International, could have said, you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I don't worry about that. That's never put a cabasha
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: on that. But he didn't. This is a guy that's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: thinking about his legacy, and this is a guy that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: does not want anything to go wrong with Operation Epic Fury.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Trust me on this one. Reading the tea leaves as
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: long as I have, this guy has every plan in
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the world to get this done and get this done quickly,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: no matter what that is. That's what I believe. Will
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: it happen? I tend to think.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: So.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Is there any guarantees? Absolutely not. This guy does not
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: want this to go on very long. That's the connection
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to this in the legacy that he's building, and he's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: very concerned and thinking about legacy, and we, you and me,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we should be happy about that. We should be happy
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that this is a president that is thinking. He does
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: not want this on his record at all. He knows
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: all the criticism, all the stuff you've we you and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I have even talked about it. All the MAGA has
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: split apart over Iran. There's a big you know, we've
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: got all the all the podcast bros and all the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: so called MAGA influencers. They're all criticizing him over this.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: He hears that, and he has he said anything about that. Nope,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: because he knows what the plans are. Because he's thinking
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: about his legacy. And I think for everything he's done
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: with the economy, closing the border, everything else, you know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: law and order, if this guy can create some kind
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of piece in the Middle East, Uh, that's what will
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: hang his head on. There will be there might be
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: half of that Trump Tower, half of that at Presidential
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Library in Miami, open up dedicated to it. Operation Epic
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Theory will have a wing to it. This guy does
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: not want it hanging around, hanging on his legacy as
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: some kind of an albatross. That's what you can take
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: out of that. See, I told you there's a connection there,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: There really is. You got a president thinking about legacy.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: That means moves they're making right now will benefit the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: American people, you, me, and everybody else. All right, let's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: get to it. But like I said, that was a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: bad day yesterday for TEDS sufferers. They got hit with
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a double whammy. You know, somewhere he's laughing about it
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and loving it. All right. Sports news that as so
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: often now leaks into the headlines in our daily lives.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And this will infuriate you. I get it. It is infuriating,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it just is. But also there's good news about this too.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Basketball player, formally recently with the Chicago Bulls. His name
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: is Jaden Ivy. What did he do well? He dared,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: He dared criticize the Bulls specifically, but further on after that,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: it was a long drawn out video that got him
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in trouble. I'm not gonna play that. I'll play his
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: response video. He criticized Pride month a size that and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: he said, now he made the connection that it's against
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: his religious views. All right, you know that's fine. He's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: free to speak his mind. He's got free speech in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this country, right war Apparently not apparently not that kind
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of free speech. So you have a lot of organizations,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: like sports teams like the Chicago Bulls who will go
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: out there and they say, we support everybody's right to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: speak their mind. Ah, unless unless you offend the wrong
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: group of people. Apparently, because he has been designated for assignment,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: in other words, cut, fired, jettisoned, dispatched, blank, canned from
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that organization for his thoughts speaking out against Pride Month
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and his team's activities in it. And then overall, the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: overall issue about Pride Month is all about he's against it, infuriating. Sure,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: let's get his reaction to it, but then we'll get
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the overall reaction because he has a ton of support.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: That happened almost immediately from other people in the NBA,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a little surprising other sports stars and specifically NFL PLA,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: some celebrities wow, and a whole lot of the general public.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: That's something you didn't see a couple of years ago
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: because he was so afraid, Oh, an NBA player got fired.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I better not speak out against Pride. I better not
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: make make my thoughts rude. Now everybody is saying, the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: hell with that. This is a bunch of crap. Anyway,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this was his response. He did a bunch of response videos.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And I know it's easy to say, well, he should
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: have just shut up and taken his paycheck and played. No.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I get that, but too late now, and he got
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: fired for speaking his mind. Everybody else can Why can't he?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Here's what he said.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: They said, my conduct is detrimental to the team.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Why didn't they just say, uh, we we don't agree
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: with his stance on LGBTQ.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Why didn't they say that?
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Well, how is it? How is it conduct detrimental to
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: the team? What did I do to the team? What
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: did I do to the players? I did nothing but
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: but but practice with them, play with them, pass the
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: ball to them. Good teammates to them, said good job,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: good shot. I said, I said, good job, good job,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: good pass. Way to play bro Right, I said these
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: things to my teammates. Was never detrimental to them. So
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: why is it that the NBA and the Chicago Bulls
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: say that I'm detrimental to the team.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: How because you said there, you had the wrong kind
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of free speech. See there's always don't fool yourself and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: start thinking woke is dead or DEI is dead. It's not.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: They'll just give it another name. It's not. But the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: good thing is there's always good to find in all this,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and the good this time is in the outrage over this,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because people are pissed off. Fans of the team are
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: pissed off. Of course you're gonna have people in certain
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: corners going good. He should, he should, that's hateful speech.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: He should not. Oh, shut up. There's more people speaking
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: out against their reaction to him than ever before because
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: people aren't afraid anymore. They're not get it, I get
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the common sense thing would have been just, you know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: just just say that in private and do it. But
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: he didn't. So what he has a right to speak
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: it too, because they disagree with him, because they this team,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: this league, the NBA is so afraid of upsetting the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: LGBT community, the pride community that they want that they
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: called his actions, his opinions on the matter, detrimental to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the team. And he's right about that. What a bs statement?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: That was? What detrimental to the team. No, it's not, No,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it's not at all. In fact, this would have gone
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: his statement would have gone into the wind about forty
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: five minutes after he said it. That would have been it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: He wasn't on some court it's some kind of a campaign,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't screaming it from the mountaintops. It
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: would have gone away. But now it's an issue because
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you made it an issue, Chicago Bulls, because you fired him,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you cut him, because you do this, And now it's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: because of this, this this problem in that league and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: this that's not the only league. It's not the only
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: corporation that does this. Now, now he's gonna have problems
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: getting a job. But here's the good news. Like I said,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: there's always good news in this. Yes, it's it's enraging.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It is, even if you disagree with him. It should
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: be enraging that he was fired for having an opinion.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But if he had said and it had worn rainbow
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: colors or said something else that they agree with, he'd
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: still be on the team and getting paid right now.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: But here's the good news, Like I said, you've got
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: other NBA players, not many, but a lot of NFL players,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: some celebrities, including a couple of comedians, and now more
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: people in the general public like you and me speaking
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: against this, and how ridiculous it is that didn't happen
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It's easy to forget how
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: afraid everybody was. Let's go back to like, let's go
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: back to COVID times not too long ago. Remember that,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Remember that era of stupidity. We were so afraid to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: speak out because we're gonna get fired. Yeah, people are
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: less afraid now, screw you. We've got legal orp We've
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: got legal organizations now ready to protect American's actual free speech.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Like him, I don't know whether a lawsuit's coming. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: don't know what's coming, but I can just tell you,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: less than twenty four hours after this decision was made
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in real time, there's a lot of support for this
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Jade and Ivy kid and what he said. Maybe they
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: own me. You don't have to agree with everything he said.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: You don't have to agree with his criticism of Pride
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and Pride Month in lgbt Q Plus and whatever letters
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: they out on too. You don't have to agree with
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: him to support his right to say it, and he
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: got fired for it. Because what is enraging people and
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: what should enrage you about this, despite the good news
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: about the backlash, is the hypocrisy of it. Because he
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: had the wrong kind of free speech see how that works.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So every time you think that you know DEI is
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: dead and Wokesm is dead, it's still there. It's just
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: going to make sure you push back against it. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I hope he wins his case. That's a case to follow,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: though it's interesting. I don't know what kind of I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: don't know what kind of legal advice he's going to get.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of action he's going to take,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: but it'd be interesting to see. But more than that,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: look to see that the regular outrage that people have
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: over this, because it's just ridiculous. You know, it's going
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to be great. You can have some I hope you
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: have some gay rights, freedom of speech organization that supports him.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: That would be great, that'd be perfect. Those are the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: ones to listen to because they would have actual credibility
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: in this issue. But take it for what it is.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. You thought I was crazy when I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: started to make that argument. But there is a connection
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: between the Trump Airport, the Trump Presidential Library, and things
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: like Operation Epic Fury. There is a connection because this
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: is a president that's thinking about his legacy. He does
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: not and will not accept any failure. So everybody telling
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you this is gonna be a long drawn out thing
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that's not in the plans. Hopefully it isn't, but that's
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: definitely not the plan. All right, let's wrap it up
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: with this. Thanks for hanging out with me. I appreciate
• 20:18
