Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Well, like Guinny long holiday weekend, coming back on a Monday,
- 0:07Speaker 1: ready to roll, get the economy going again out of
- 0:09Speaker 1: a weekend that had some bad, some really bad, some good,
- 0:12Speaker 1: some interesting, some surprising, and overall for me takeaway that
- 0:18Speaker 1: this Golden Age of America is a very very real thing.
- 0:22Speaker 1: But with that said, thanks for finding Wicked Radio. The
- 0:24Speaker 1: Wicked Radio livestream all part of Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Thanks for being here. Appreciates you as always, also on
- 0:29Speaker 1: the replay, which is where most of you find us,
- 0:31Speaker 1: and by the way, a lot of new eyeballs these
- 0:33Speaker 1: days on the live stream and the podcast in general,
- 0:37Speaker 1: and a lot of listeners as well. Thank you so
- 0:38Speaker 1: much for that. I appreciate you very much. I appreciate
- 0:40Speaker 1: each and every one of enna. Don't get a chance
- 0:42Speaker 1: to say that enough. You're not coming to me for
- 0:45Speaker 1: heavy news analysis, even though I might I might have
- 0:48Speaker 1: some insight on some things. You're coming to me to
- 0:50Speaker 1: tell you, just like anybody would you'd meet at a
- 0:53Speaker 1: barbecue like you did this past weekend, or somebody you
- 0:56Speaker 1: talked to on a barstool, or somebody you talk to
- 0:58Speaker 1: that's a family friend that might just might have a
- 1:01Speaker 1: different way of looking at things. That's why I'm here.
- 1:04Speaker 1: But anyway, thanks for being here too. I appreciate it
- 1:06Speaker 1: as always. Don't forget. Oh, by the way, the audio
- 1:08Speaker 1: podcast posted as soon as we get off, even when
- 1:11Speaker 1: we're on the road like this, so it'll be available
- 1:13Speaker 1: probably within fifteen minutes after the lime stream maares up.
- 1:16Speaker 1: And then of course the replay on x and on
- 1:20Speaker 1: YouTube and on Facebook as well, so all that good stuff.
- 1:23Speaker 1: You know how it works, whatever your favorite channels, that's
- 1:26Speaker 1: how that works. Well, this was interesting, and I think
- 1:30Speaker 1: it doesn't surprise anybody that was coming. We all saw
- 1:33Speaker 1: it happen. And everybody's pointing to the golden moment, not
- 1:37Speaker 1: the golden escalator moment when Trump announced he was running
- 1:39Speaker 1: the first time, the golden revealing moment when Elon showed
- 1:43Speaker 1: up in the Oval office with that black eye, and
- 1:45Speaker 1: then all of a sudden things seemed to go downhill
- 1:47Speaker 1: from there. Maybe that's a fun theory anyway, I don't know.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Fisticuffs with Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, maybe it's fun
- 1:54Speaker 1: to think about. We'll never get the real answer, I
- 1:56Speaker 1: don't think anyway. But what we do know now Is
- 1:58Speaker 1: this everything that Elon was saying the first go around,
- 2:02Speaker 1: the first tiff with Trump was true. He's very, very
- 2:06Speaker 1: upset about the big, beautiful budget bill, which incredibly was
- 2:09Speaker 1: signed on the fourth of July. That was quite the event.
- 2:11Speaker 1: By the way, you want to talk about symbolism, was
- 2:15Speaker 1: that couldn't have gone any better for Trump and Mike Johnson.
- 2:18Speaker 1: By the way, this was a massive win for Mike Johnson.
- 2:20Speaker 1: He is in Trump's loyalty section forever. Now, after pushing
- 2:26Speaker 1: this thing through and getting it done, was it everything
- 2:28Speaker 1: we all wanted? Know? Was it everything that Elon wanted? Oh?
- 2:33Speaker 1: Not even close. Some we all know there's good stuff
- 2:35Speaker 1: in there, but there's a long way to go. But
- 2:36Speaker 1: then he got all swampy and all political, and you know,
- 2:40Speaker 1: not all the NGOs that they discovered that our crooked
- 2:43Speaker 1: and corrupt got blasted. It didn't do much to control
- 2:47Speaker 1: the deficit. We know that. But let's not forget there
- 2:50Speaker 1: are good things in there. But coming out of this,
- 2:53Speaker 1: Elon is so upset about it that he is now,
- 2:56Speaker 1: as you've heard, by now launched the America Party. Now
- 3:01Speaker 1: this is interesting because most of the reaction from most
- 3:04Speaker 1: of the mega friends that I have, and mega people
- 3:07Speaker 1: that I know online are saying the exact same thing.
- 3:09Speaker 1: This is stupid, This is just gonna divide the All
- 3:12Speaker 1: that's gonna do is give the Democrats a massive win, right,
- 3:16Speaker 1: you would think that would be I mean that the
- 3:17Speaker 1: closest comparison in our lifetime to something like this happened
- 3:21Speaker 1: was Ross Parot. Remember Ross Paro. Remember that. Remember the
- 3:24Speaker 1: old Texas guy, the IBM CEO founder that had said, O,
- 3:30Speaker 1: hey listen, a car is not a hood. Say listen,
- 3:32Speaker 1: you got to balance the budget, say you gotta do this.
- 3:34Speaker 1: And everybody loved that idea. But all it wound up
- 3:37Speaker 1: doing was giving the Democrats a big win in that
- 3:39Speaker 1: particular mid term twenty some odd years ago. But this
- 3:43Speaker 1: is a little different. I'll tell you why. I think
- 3:46Speaker 1: so anyway, because of what Elon posted. Before we get
- 3:49Speaker 1: to that, though, Let's get to Trump's reaction. They got
- 3:52Speaker 1: him and this is loud. Sorry about that. It's always
- 3:54Speaker 1: outside of either Air Force one or Marine one. Let's
- 3:56Speaker 1: get Trump's reaction to the idea of an America Party.
- 3:59Speaker 1: He loves the idea, even loves the name, right, just kidding, No,
- 4:05Speaker 1: he thinks it's stupid. And he's gonna do everything he
- 4:07Speaker 1: possibly can to derail this, which will include and I
- 4:09Speaker 1: know this is gonna hurt for everybody. It's gonna include
- 4:11Speaker 1: a lot of personal shots against Elon on truth social
- 4:14Speaker 1: It's just the way things kind of work, I guess.
- 4:16Speaker 1: But here was Trump's reaction just the other day.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Now, I think starting a third party just adds to confusion.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It really seems to have.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked,
- 4:26Speaker 2: so he can have fun with it.
- 4:27Speaker 1: But I think it's ridiculous. All right, he thinks it's ridiculous.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I get it. I understand that that's what he has
- 4:34Speaker 1: to say. I get it. We have a lot of
- 4:35Speaker 1: us think it's ridiculous. Let me just give you an update, though.
- 4:39Speaker 1: And I think this is key to this whole thing,
- 4:41Speaker 1: because I kind of have a different view of at
- 4:44Speaker 1: least most of the people I talked over the July
- 4:45Speaker 1: fourth weekend about this thing, because most people I know
- 4:47Speaker 1: are pissed off about it. Just consider one thing, Maybe
- 4:53Speaker 1: maybe this makes the Mega movement even stronger. Right now,
- 4:57Speaker 1: you're thinking, you idiot, there's no possible way that could happen.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, you got to really follow what
- 5:04Speaker 1: Elon is saying now, and this seems to be the
- 5:06Speaker 1: pattern that he follows.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Now.
- 5:07Speaker 1: He goes on X of course, and he goes on
- 5:10Speaker 1: these post storms where he was called tweets, but he
- 5:13Speaker 1: posts out all these things all at once, and it's
- 5:15Speaker 1: like this thought process. I don't know whether you know,
- 5:16Speaker 1: people claim it's at ketamine high or whatever the hell
- 5:19Speaker 1: it is, but that's how you really get inside the
- 5:21Speaker 1: mind of Elon or where things are going. And this
- 5:23Speaker 1: is why I say this. It usually turns out to
- 5:25Speaker 1: be true. So he put out a post and shared
- 5:30Speaker 1: by some pretty prominent people who actually know him where
- 5:36Speaker 1: what Elon kind of intimated was that he's not suggesting
- 5:41Speaker 1: that he's going to run a candidate in twenty twenty
- 5:44Speaker 1: eight for president. Okay, that he's not going to do that.
- 5:46Speaker 1: So already, even just a couple of days after the
- 5:48Speaker 1: formation of the America Party on July fourth, of all things,
- 5:52Speaker 1: he's already suggesting that. Furthermore, what he's also suggesting is
- 5:57Speaker 1: what he wants to do is get past politics and
- 5:59Speaker 1: really talk about and hammer out solutions to really important
- 6:03Speaker 1: issues that affect all of us. Like what's his main thing,
- 6:06Speaker 1: what's he complaining about that deficit. And listen, sure a
- 6:11Speaker 1: lot of us are just becoming aware of this right now,
- 6:12Speaker 1: of how bad the deficit is. It's I mean, it's
- 6:15Speaker 1: the God's honest true. We are in a death spiral
- 6:17Speaker 1: for this thing, a couple of generations left left unless
- 6:20Speaker 1: it's one of those slow moving disasters and we can
- 6:22Speaker 1: find a solution. And I know that Trump's plan with
- 6:25Speaker 1: this budget is to grow the GDP by a massive
- 6:28Speaker 1: amount for an extended period of time, and then hopefully
- 6:31Speaker 1: whoever's in that next after him, maybe Jdvan can keep
- 6:34Speaker 1: it going. And that's how you cut it down, so that,
- 6:35Speaker 1: in theory, is the plan little risky. Here's why I
- 6:39Speaker 1: think we're already starting to see, and this is just
- 6:41Speaker 1: my opinion, why we're already starting to see an America
- 6:43Speaker 1: Party idea that would keep pushing this forward. Here's the
- 6:48Speaker 1: first example, the Elon Musk post just the other day,
- 6:51Speaker 1: where he's starting to hint around at this. No, I'm
- 6:54Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not gonna run a candidate that would
- 6:57Speaker 1: threaten JD vance in twenty twenty eight. No, I'm not
- 7:00Speaker 1: going to do that. But what I'm going to do
- 7:01Speaker 1: is they going to force them. Oh, I think he'll
- 7:03Speaker 1: run candidates at lower, lower level, like they'll primary people
- 7:06Speaker 1: in Congress. Sure, But what I think anyway, what I
- 7:10Speaker 1: think they want to do with this America Party is
- 7:13Speaker 1: to force these issues to the forefront and keep them going.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Let's not forget that Musk has this massive platform, not
- 7:20Speaker 1: only as a media presence, he owns X, He's got
- 7:23Speaker 1: the most followers, hundreds of millions of followers on this.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I mean, if it was just if only, if all
- 7:29Speaker 1: he had was that, he'd be incredibly influential. By talking
- 7:32Speaker 1: about these issues and keeping them on the forefront, he's
- 7:35Speaker 1: kind of forcing even a presidential candidate from the MAGA
- 7:39Speaker 1: Republican side in twenty twenty eight to address them, and
- 7:42Speaker 1: further on down the line for congressional candidates, people in
- 7:47Speaker 1: Congress swamp monsters that they're trying to work with to
- 7:50Speaker 1: take care of it. That's just my theory. You may
- 7:53Speaker 1: have a different one. You may still hate this entire idea.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It's like we just got we just got Trump in
- 7:58Speaker 1: and had his infighting. Listen, that's politics. That's you're talking
- 8:02Speaker 1: about alpha personalities that will not back down to anything
- 8:08Speaker 1: when it comes down to it at the very very top.
- 8:11Speaker 1: But here's the difference. And I know I said this
- 8:12Speaker 1: last week. It really is true. This is why I
- 8:14Speaker 1: have this feeling. Not a lot of people agreement agree
- 8:16Speaker 1: with me in my personal life. I'll tell you that much.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I still have this feeling that it's gonna work out
- 8:21Speaker 1: because just taking Trump and Elon for example, here's why
- 8:26Speaker 1: it's here's why it's so important. They both have the
- 8:30Speaker 1: best interest of America and Americans at heart. They really,
- 8:35Speaker 1: they really truly do. And there's too much evidence to
- 8:37Speaker 1: disagree with that. Trump has sacrificed everything we know. Don't
- 8:40Speaker 1: forget about the sacrifice that Elon has gone through personally,
- 8:45Speaker 1: his personal well being. We know his wealth. He bought AX,
- 8:49Speaker 1: he bought Twitter and turned it into X at a
- 8:51Speaker 1: loss to protect free speech for Americans. And by the way,
- 8:56Speaker 1: I still hold on to this. You may disagree with
- 8:58Speaker 1: me on this one too. I don't think Trump wins
- 8:59Speaker 1: this a lot action with U Elon buying X, I don't.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I don't think that happens because it opened up everything
- 9:05Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Democrats didn't have their
- 9:06Speaker 1: echo chamber. They do this kind of stuff. Yes, it's ego,
- 9:11Speaker 1: I get it, whatever, But they also love Americans, they do.
- 9:16Speaker 1: That's why I think this is gonna work out. It's
- 9:18Speaker 1: going to be ugly. Oh, of course you're talking about politics.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Of course you're talking about massive egos and politics. You
- 9:25Speaker 1: cannot have those two concepts without getting nasty. Of course
- 9:28Speaker 1: it is. But again, and I've thrown this out there
- 9:31Speaker 1: like ten times already. Think back to like Abe Lincoln,
- 9:35Speaker 1: his advisors. They called them the team of Rivals. They
- 9:38Speaker 1: fought like cats and dogs all the time, disagreed on
- 9:41Speaker 1: almost everything, but Lincoln brought them all in to disagree
- 9:44Speaker 1: because they were all smart people, but they had one
- 9:46Speaker 1: common denominator. They all wanted to save the Union, probably
- 9:51Speaker 1: different ways to go about it every single day of
- 9:55Speaker 1: every single hour of every single day. But they cared
- 9:58Speaker 1: about the country, and they got had tone. That's my
- 10:01Speaker 1: feeling on that anyway. But we shall see. Maybe I'm
- 10:04Speaker 1: completely wrong, it'll get even uglier and Elon runs himself.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I don't know who the heck knows, But as of
- 10:08Speaker 1: right now, well, this was the horrific part of the weekend.
- 10:14Speaker 1: We all know about the Camp Mystic Texas story, A
- 10:17Speaker 1: one of those one hundred year floods, they say of
- 10:19Speaker 1: the Guadalupe River as of right now, and this is
- 10:22Speaker 1: from a new station just a couple of minutes ago
- 10:24Speaker 1: in Texas to get eighty two dead tan are still missing. God,
- 10:28Speaker 1: that's horrific. That just really is. Oh, and of all
- 10:32Speaker 1: things happen on July fourth, horrific. That's where we are
- 10:36Speaker 1: right now. This was one of the listened to the
- 10:40Speaker 1: I picked this sound because you got to listen to
- 10:43Speaker 1: the pain in this family's voice, in their voices. It's
- 10:48Speaker 1: mostly the mother right here. And keep in mind their survivors.
- 10:52Speaker 1: They have their daughter back and even they're going through this,
- 10:55Speaker 1: so imagine what the families are going through who are
- 10:59Speaker 1: still looking for their loved ones. Just absolutely horrific. So
- 11:03Speaker 1: here's that family they talked to when their daughter was recovered.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Really good friends lost a daughter. It was at cantistic.
- 11:10Speaker 1: They've just tested so much loss that I mean, it's unimaginable. Yeah, unimaginable.
- 11:20Speaker 1: I guess that's the best way to describe it, because
- 11:21Speaker 1: I can't imagine it. And you know what, everybody see
- 11:24Speaker 1: it's been overused so much this expression thoughts and prayers,
- 11:27Speaker 1: But you know what, there are certain situations where we
- 11:29Speaker 1: do need to send thoughts in prayers to people, and
- 11:31Speaker 1: this is a case of it, because this is one
- 11:33Speaker 1: of the worst possible things I could ever imagine. And
- 11:38Speaker 1: as always is the case, the heroic stories of first
- 11:41Speaker 1: responders who've done incredible things there saving lives, sacrificing their
- 11:45Speaker 1: own lives. I think this is one of those tragedies
- 11:48Speaker 1: we're going to be hearing about and seeing in documentaries
- 11:50Speaker 1: about the heroic part of it for decades upon decades.
- 11:55Speaker 1: So again, thoughts and prayers do matter, So let's send
- 11:59Speaker 1: them to those and those families because it's just absolutely awful.
- 12:03Speaker 1: But doesn't stop some moron like Rosie O'Donnell, who's not
- 12:09Speaker 1: even in this country, by the way, but she's overseas
- 12:11Speaker 1: living where's in Ireland, I think, And she can't stop.
- 12:13Speaker 1: She has such she's so twisted by Trump that she
- 12:16Speaker 1: can't stop talking about him, and yes, of course, blaming
- 12:20Speaker 1: him for this tragedy. And you're thinking, oh, Bill, come on,
- 12:23Speaker 1: you're exaggerating. You don't like Rosie o'dnald, You're just exaggerating.
- 12:26Speaker 1: This year had actually, no, no, it happened. You don't
- 12:29Speaker 1: believe me. She felt the need to put her fat
- 12:32Speaker 1: face in front of a camera and blame Trump for
- 12:35Speaker 1: this in her stunningly moronic way.
- 12:38Speaker 2: You know, when the president guts all of the early
- 12:41Speaker 2: warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government,
- 12:48Speaker 2: these are the results that we're going to start to
- 12:50Speaker 2: see on a daily basis.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I'm even you know what, it's almost people were telling
- 12:56Speaker 1: me at a family get together just I think it
- 12:59Speaker 1: was yesterday about the Rosie o'donnald quote. I hadn't heard
- 13:01Speaker 1: it up to that point, and it was the least
- 13:06Speaker 1: surprising thing I've ever heard. I almost like, I wouldn't
- 13:11Speaker 1: be weird if that idiot didn't go on social media
- 13:16Speaker 1: and say something like that, to blame Trump for this
- 13:18Speaker 1: the early warning systems. Yeah, well it's fact you know
- 13:21Speaker 1: by now, it's factually completely incorrect. She's totally wrong. She's
- 13:24Speaker 1: an absolute moron. She lives in Ireland now, but really,
- 13:29Speaker 1: isn't she kind of like just a shining example and
- 13:31Speaker 1: she's still a big name, so she's like an example
- 13:33Speaker 1: of so many people that are actually out there that
- 13:35Speaker 1: would would blame Trump for this, or would blame the
- 13:38Speaker 1: federal government or blame anything else about this without any
- 13:42Speaker 1: facts whatsoever, and they total and totally believe it. So
- 13:45Speaker 1: there's got to be somebody probably, I would bet somebody
- 13:48Speaker 1: in your office, sadly, maybe even your family, you know,
- 13:51Speaker 1: your social group, who sounded and probably said the exact
- 13:54Speaker 1: same things that Rosie o'donald just did, completely factually incorrect.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna go into the cutting of services
- 14:01Speaker 1: and h you know, weather departments, because it's just so stupid.
- 14:06Speaker 1: But then they come out and say that to me
- 14:08Speaker 1: is just so incredibly evil. But here's the thing, and
- 14:11Speaker 1: here's the takeaway, and it's not nice, but I'll say
- 14:14Speaker 1: it anyway. So people like Rosy O'Donnell that are in
- 14:18Speaker 1: your life that do this kind of stuff, and they're
- 14:20Speaker 1: out there. There are people who are so broken by Trump,
- 14:23Speaker 1: that have such a bad case of TDS. You may
- 14:28Speaker 1: love them, I get it, and you can keep loving them,
- 14:29Speaker 1: but guys, they're not coming back. I don't mean like
- 14:33Speaker 1: physically coming back like her from Ireland. I mean like mentally,
- 14:35Speaker 1: they're not coming back. We're at the point now right
- 14:40Speaker 1: of like a big chunk of the year gone for
- 14:46Speaker 1: in Trump's first administration. I think we've had the ab
- 14:49Speaker 1: test case. People like that and say those kinds of
- 14:52Speaker 1: things and look for an opportunity of a horrific tragedy
- 14:55Speaker 1: like at can't mystic to blame Trump. It's not gonna
- 14:59Speaker 1: be fait. It's just not. They're gone. You can't you
- 15:02Speaker 1: can't deal with them, you can't talk to them. They're
- 15:05Speaker 1: on a whole different level of deranged evil is what
- 15:08Speaker 1: I call it. They're just they're just gone. So here's
- 15:12Speaker 1: my tip. Don't try. I just wouldn't try. And they're
- 15:16Speaker 1: usually the loudest of the bunch, and I get that,
- 15:18Speaker 1: but less and less, the great thing is less and
- 15:23Speaker 1: less people are listening to them because they sound more
- 15:25Speaker 1: and more ridiculous. So if you got somebody like that
- 15:27Speaker 1: in your close social group, somewhere in your circle, just
- 15:31Speaker 1: let them ramble, don't engage. I know it's infuriating, but
- 15:34Speaker 1: those people are just so far beyond repaarable. They're not
- 15:38Speaker 1: coming back, So just let them. Oh and by the way,
- 15:42Speaker 1: this popped up this morning. By the way, everybody had
- 15:44Speaker 1: the question, you know, she's family. This is truy. The
- 15:49Speaker 1: early warning systems that Trump cut back, that's why this happened,
- 15:52Speaker 1: Was it really because not only you factually incorrect. There's
- 15:55Speaker 1: actually an easy story to look up that has uh
- 15:59Speaker 1: information all over the place we can all access right
- 16:01Speaker 1: now that in nineteen eighty seven, pretty close about an
- 16:05Speaker 1: hour away from Camp Mystic, Texas, there was a similar
- 16:08Speaker 1: kind of flood flash flood of the Guadalupe River. It
- 16:12Speaker 1: was in Comfort, Texas in nineteen eighty seven. I think
- 16:15Speaker 1: ten died, thirty miss thirty were missing until they found
- 16:17Speaker 1: some back whatever, but a similar kind of situation. So
- 16:20Speaker 1: not only is she factually incorrect, TDS twisted. She couldn't
- 16:25Speaker 1: even look up to see if this was something that
- 16:27Speaker 1: happened before, without any knowledge whatsoever of the situation, to
- 16:33Speaker 1: pretend that she cares about the families and this tragedy,
- 16:36Speaker 1: she used it as an opportunity, completely clueless and completely
- 16:39Speaker 1: misguided to take a shot at Trump and Trump supporters.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Like I said, guys gone, She and others are just
- 16:48Speaker 1: gone and they're not coming back, all right. That was
- 16:50Speaker 1: the tragic part of the weekend. This to me, if
- 16:52Speaker 1: you're a rock fan, I'd say, even if you're an
- 16:54Speaker 1: entertainment fan or nostalgia whatever, it is, this thing that
- 16:58Speaker 1: happened in Birmingham, England over the weekend was truly incredible.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Now biased I happen to be a huge Aussie fan,
- 17:04Speaker 1: a huge Black Sabbath fan. I'm a huge rock and
- 17:06Speaker 1: metal fan, so I was all about this thing. It's
- 17:09Speaker 1: called back to the beginning. So it was Ozzie's last performance.
- 17:12Speaker 1: It was Black Sabbath's last performance. But really what it
- 17:15Speaker 1: was was a goodbye from Ozzy Osbourne. The legend. I
- 17:19Speaker 1: know he's a mess now, I know he's been on
- 17:21Speaker 1: everything but roller skates. Everybody knows this, it's well established.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Excuse me, but how this happened and how they put
- 17:27Speaker 1: it together was truly something amazing. A band is from Birmingham,
- 17:31Speaker 1: so that's why they did it there. Now, the original
- 17:33Speaker 1: plan for this festival is what it turned into. It
- 17:36Speaker 1: was just a Black Sabbath show. Nobody really know how
- 17:39Speaker 1: what kind of shape Ozzie was going to be in,
- 17:41Speaker 1: so they started to talk about bringing in some other
- 17:43Speaker 1: bands just in case to pease the crowd. And it
- 17:45Speaker 1: was live streaming and everything. Every band in the world
- 17:48Speaker 1: wanted to be involved, so it wound up being absolutely huge.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Here's what happened over the weekend and it was on
- 17:55Speaker 1: a live stream. But the takeaway is it was done
- 17:59Speaker 1: so incredible. Well, other performers showed up that couldn't wait
- 18:03Speaker 1: to be part of this thing where Metallica, Guns n' Roses,
- 18:06Speaker 1: tool masted on. So there were some newer metal bands Anthrax, Hailstorm,
- 18:10Speaker 1: Tom Morello who kind of organized all the bands on this, Slayer,
- 18:14Speaker 1: Tons more and they also put for some individual peace performers,
- 18:18Speaker 1: some supergroups, Supergroup A and Supergroup B. One of the supergroups,
- 18:23Speaker 1: we even got a rock and roll surprise if you
- 18:25Speaker 1: reading this kind of thing. Steven Tyler shows up in
- 18:27Speaker 1: one of the supergroups and he does train Caper, rolling,
- 18:30Speaker 1: Walked This Way and a whole lot of love the
- 18:31Speaker 1: Zeppelin song. Why is this significant because Stephen Tyler Aerosmith
- 18:36Speaker 1: had to break up because he broke his vocal chords.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Well it was just a few songs, but he was back,
- 18:42Speaker 1: and that's pretty damn cool. Some other surprises were there
- 18:45Speaker 1: as well, but the main thing being a send off
- 18:49Speaker 1: for specifically Ozzy Osbourne, but Black Sabbath as well. Now,
- 18:54Speaker 1: the reaction to this has been amazing because I think
- 18:58Speaker 1: just my speculation and a wild yes, I think it
- 19:00Speaker 1: has sparked a whole new interest in rock and roll.
- 19:03Speaker 1: I really believe that, and I'll play this final song
- 19:06Speaker 1: for you too. Black Sabbath walked away out of the stage.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Ozzie didn't. He was in a chair, but still with
- 19:13Speaker 1: of course paranoid, and it sounded like this all right. Now,
- 19:32Speaker 1: if you're a Sabbath fan or a Ozzie fan at all,
- 19:36Speaker 1: you just listen to that, not the visual, because I
- 19:38Speaker 1: get it. He can't even walk anymore. He's got Parkinson's
- 19:40Speaker 1: everything else back problems. But he still sounded good. And
- 19:45Speaker 1: that's the key why this thing came across so beautifully,
- 19:49Speaker 1: and all these other people showing their love for it,
- 19:51Speaker 1: and the fans showing the love and the dedication to it.
- 19:54Speaker 1: When people tell you that rock is dead, not quite.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna make a bold statement here you may
- 20:01Speaker 1: or may not agree with. I don't think there would
- 20:04Speaker 1: be any pop dedication concert that could have been pulled
- 20:07Speaker 1: off like this. First of all, disposable music and secondly,
- 20:11Speaker 1: loyalty dedication, real true hardcore fans. They got this done
- 20:18Speaker 1: and it was amazing. So record companies and marketers may
- 20:23Speaker 1: not promote rock, but no, it's certainly not dead. I
- 20:27Speaker 1: thought it was amazing. I really do. I didn't see
- 20:29Speaker 1: the whole live stream. I just saw clips here and there,
- 20:31Speaker 1: so I'm definitely gonna check that out a little bit
- 20:33Speaker 1: later on. Apparently it's been trending like all weekend long
- 20:35Speaker 1: ever since it happened. I am out of here. I
- 20:38Speaker 1: gotta get on a plane. Gotta take care of some
- 20:40Speaker 1: other business too, and sign some things. I'm sure you're
- 20:42Speaker 1: busy too, getting back in for the long holiday weekend.
- 20:45Speaker 1: I hope you still have all your fingers and toes
