Speaker 1: Nothing I'm gonna talk about today is more important than this.
0:06
Speaker 1: It's Friday, Welcome to your weekend. Almost. I mean, it's
0:09
Speaker 1: right around the corner. We can see it, we can
0:10
Speaker 1: smell it. It's gonna be fantastic. But some news to
0:13
Speaker 1: go through. What the heck is the world throwing at
0:15
Speaker 1: us today? Some of it's ridiculous, some of it's great news,
0:18
Speaker 1: some of it's insane, none of it boring. Though, I'm
0:21
Speaker 1: gonna start off with a story about Gina Carano and
0:24
Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, Bill, you'd like to talk about celebrities.
0:26
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Whatever. A massive win and this
0:30
Speaker 1: does matter, A massive win against the Disney Company for
0:32
Speaker 1: this lady that's been fighting this for buh is it
0:36
Speaker 1: three years? Four years? I don't know if it's going
0:37
Speaker 1: going on a while though, huge, huge win for free speech.
0:41
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. DC will be cleaned up. The
0:45
Speaker 1: Trump administration is dead serious about this, and it's important
0:48
Speaker 1: that it's happening in DC because that'll mean they're dead
0:52
Speaker 1: serious about cleaning up the streets in all the other
0:54
Speaker 1: major American cities. But it's got to start symbolically, and
0:57
Speaker 1: because they're right there in d C, which is huge, huge,
1:00
Speaker 1: This is the most controversial thing happening today. No more
1:03
Speaker 1: junk food and food stamps which are now called snap
1:06
Speaker 1: benefits because you know, foodstamps set a negative connotation. That
1:11
Speaker 1: may change your thinking on this because I'm against government
1:15
Speaker 1: overreach too. But what if it's not about government overreach?
1:18
Speaker 1: What if it's more about your tax dollars? That and
1:20
Speaker 1: we'll wrap it up with a silly Canada story. Canada
1:24
Speaker 1: has banned walking. Now you're thinking, oh, wow, you just
1:27
Speaker 1: you're making up a goofy headline for hyperbole to get
1:30
Speaker 1: attention and clicks. No, they've banned walking in the woods.
1:34
Speaker 1: This is why you can't be like Canadians, especially Nova Scotians,
1:39
Speaker 1: because they're too nice. That's how this kind of stuff happens. Anyway,
1:42
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Business first. Thanks for front of
1:44
Speaker 1: the live stream podcast Wicked Radio, all part of Wicked
1:46
Speaker 1: Wisdom with Bill Adams and all your favorite or not
1:49
Speaker 1: so favorite social media channels and the audio podcast listeners.
1:52
Speaker 1: Thanks for pressing subscribe and download. I appreciate you as always.
1:55
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. We're gonna get to that's right.
1:57
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh I'm leading off with a celebrity story,
2:00
Speaker 1: an actress, a Hollywood story because it actually matters for everybody.
2:05
Speaker 1: Gina Carrano, you may know her quite a life, actually
2:09
Speaker 1: quite a career. She was an Mma fighter, started off
2:13
Speaker 1: with that, she's an actress. Now she's a freedom fighter.
2:17
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember the background of the story.
2:19
Speaker 1: She made it into a Disney which took over Star
2:23
Speaker 1: Wars film with the Mandalorian. Remember the Mandalorian show Pedro Pascal,
2:29
Speaker 1: Little Baby, Yoda, Groc As it turns out, huge hit.
2:32
Speaker 1: She was in the first season of a huge hit.
2:33
Speaker 1: Massive ratings, just skyrocketed her at the top of American consciousness.
2:38
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. Well, then all hold on. She made
2:42
Speaker 1: the mistake of putting her opinions out on what at
2:47
Speaker 1: the time was Twitter. And that's very very relevant to
2:51
Speaker 1: the story. What I'm gonna tell you here now, how
2:54
Speaker 1: did she get fired? What exactly did she do to
2:56
Speaker 1: get fired? Number one? And also blacklisted, blackbault out of
3:01
Speaker 1: Hollywood and especially with Disney. Well, as it turns out,
3:06
Speaker 1: she was fired from Disney and Lucasfilm, which Disney bought
3:09
Speaker 1: for her role as Cara Doone and The Mandalorian. February
3:13
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. It's been that long now. She
3:16
Speaker 1: had made some controversial statements about pronouns, people using pronouns
3:22
Speaker 1: at the time, Remember twenty twenty one, this was just
3:25
Speaker 1: about the height of the wokeness happening right now, right,
3:28
Speaker 1: And she also made a statement that compared treatment of
3:32
Speaker 1: conservatives like her in Hollywood to Jews during the Holocaust.
3:37
Speaker 1: Kind of a strong statement for her to make, a
3:40
Speaker 1: little bit over the top. Oh yeah, yeah, oh absolutely
3:44
Speaker 1: a lot over the top. Well, that got her fired,
3:47
Speaker 1: that got her band, that got her sent into oblivion.
3:51
Speaker 1: And compare before we even get to the rest of
3:54
Speaker 1: the story, compare it to this. At the time, the
3:59
Speaker 1: statements that being made by political statements, just like she
4:02
Speaker 1: did by her co star in The Mandalorian Pedro Pascal,
4:07
Speaker 1: some other specifically Star Wars Disney people and Marvel Disney people.
4:13
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill no problem with his political statements, right, Mark
4:16
Speaker 1: Ruffalo's another one. He was in the Avengers franchise, which
4:19
Speaker 1: Disney also owns. They never got in trouble, so she
4:23
Speaker 1: launched a lawsuit against Disney and she won. Now not
4:27
Speaker 1: in the courts. And this is relevant to the story too.
4:30
Speaker 1: It's important to realize. Terms of the settlement are undisclosed.
4:36
Speaker 1: Monetarily we don't know, but it reportedly also comes with
4:41
Speaker 1: job offers from Disney, and they never do that now. Reportedly,
4:45
Speaker 1: according to Variety, which is the publication of record for
4:50
Speaker 1: the Hollywood industry, they always have these stories. Also part
4:53
Speaker 1: of this is none of the emails from Disney to
4:57
Speaker 1: Gina Carano would be revealed. That's part of the edlem
5:00
Speaker 1: the two reportedly, that tells you that this was really bad.
5:03
Speaker 1: They targeted her specifically, and if she didn't have some
5:06
Speaker 1: help on this, she never would have won. So here's
5:09
Speaker 1: her announcement. I have come to an agreement with Disney Lucasfilm,
5:14
Speaker 1: which I believe is the best outcome for all parties.
5:16
Speaker 1: I want to extend my Here's the interesting part. I
5:17
Speaker 1: want to extend my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude. Two you think,
5:22
Speaker 1: say the fans family, Her lawyer.
5:24
Speaker 2: No.
5:25
Speaker 1: First person she thanks and I didn't know this is
5:28
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. Hold On, she says, a man I've never
5:32
Speaker 1: met who did this good SamArt indeed for me in
5:34
Speaker 1: funding my lawsuit, I had no idea. Thank you, mister
5:39
Speaker 1: Musk and X for backing my case and asking for
5:41
Speaker 1: nothing in return. Blah blah blah. I like to think
5:43
Speaker 1: everybody else is blah blah blah. Yes, I'm smiling. This
5:47
Speaker 1: was a big reason. This is why this is important
5:49
Speaker 1: for all of us, not just her personally, not just
5:53
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, but believe Orna goes beyond that. This
5:56
Speaker 1: was a big reason. The ridiculous iveness of this was
6:00
Speaker 1: a big reason why Elon bought Twitter forty four million
6:04
Speaker 1: bucks billion bucks, remember that, and turned it into X.
6:07
Speaker 1: This was one of the ridiculous things that outraged him
6:10
Speaker 1: and he said this has to stop, and he picked
6:12
Speaker 1: it up. Now, I didn't know he funded the lawsuit,
6:14
Speaker 1: but I do remember at the time he was outraged
6:15
Speaker 1: by this. That end they banned the Babylon B remember that.
6:19
Speaker 1: So he must like and he loves the Babylon B
6:22
Speaker 1: satire account on X. Now that's how he got involved
6:27
Speaker 1: with this. I didn't know he funded the lawsuit, but
6:29
Speaker 1: he was major in getting this done. Now, if this
6:32
Speaker 1: entire fight hadn't happened, if she didn't fight back with
6:34
Speaker 1: a lawsuit, does he still buy Twitter and turn it
6:38
Speaker 1: into X which had all kinds of implications, which, whether
6:42
Speaker 1: you like it or not, had a major, major effect
6:45
Speaker 1: on Trump winning his second term because people could find
6:47
Speaker 1: out the news on X again. It was a huge,
6:49
Speaker 1: huge turning point for people getting information because god knows,
6:52
Speaker 1: we were not getting it through mainstream media. That's for
6:54
Speaker 1: damn sure. So all of this, all of this combined together,
6:59
Speaker 1: is a big win or for Gina Carano. I feel
7:01
Speaker 1: good for her because she has a right to say
7:04
Speaker 1: her opinions online or not, just like everybody else does
7:07
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. But it's a win for everybody else too,
7:10
Speaker 1: because the result of this thing means a lot more
7:13
Speaker 1: companies are gonna not be as punitive against somebody else's
7:20
Speaker 1: opinions because this is just one of those things. Disney
7:24
Speaker 1: is still that powerful, as ridiculous as they've become, So
7:27
Speaker 1: goes Disney, so goes the rest of the entertainment industry.
7:30
Speaker 1: So they learned a major lesson with this. Will it stick,
7:33
Speaker 1: will it stay? I don't know, maybe maybe not. Maybe
7:36
Speaker 1: down the road they'll still do stupid things. But a
7:39
Speaker 1: huge win for her. Good for her, she kept up
7:41
Speaker 1: the fight. That's fantastic. All right. Here's the most controversial
7:44
Speaker 1: story of the day. No more junk food in food stamps.
7:50
Speaker 1: I know, you can't say food stamps anymore. Snap benefits
7:53
Speaker 1: the acronym because food stamps had a negative connotation, so
7:55
Speaker 1: they change the name. But you know what we're talking about,
7:58
Speaker 1: food stamps public assistance for what are supposed to be
8:02
Speaker 1: necessary nutritious items to feed you and your family if
8:05
Speaker 1: you have them. Right, major changes to this. Let's go
8:09
Speaker 1: to Brooke Rawlins for the announcement and she's been all
8:11
Speaker 1: over the place doing media interviews, media hits, this big
8:14
Speaker 1: press conference. Now she's the Agriculture secretary in charge of this.
8:17
Speaker 1: Now that was the first big step, but this is
8:19
Speaker 1: basically what she's outlining and the change is coming to
8:23
Speaker 1: this and how the tax pair you, me, and everybody
8:25
Speaker 1: else is not going to be funding junk food. Now
8:29
Speaker 1: this leads into a pretty contentious debate about government overreach.
8:33
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think you're the same way too.
8:37
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much against the government telling me what I
8:39
Speaker 1: can eat by say do whatever. But what if you're
8:43
Speaker 1: paying for it? What if this just isn't a government
8:47
Speaker 1: overreach issue. What if this affects all of us and
8:51
Speaker 1: the health in the nation, Because let's not forget the
8:53
Speaker 1: cost you're also paying for health care for people that
8:56
Speaker 1: don't eat healthy down the road's hear her press conference first,
8:59
Speaker 1: and then you.
9:00
Speaker 2: It's my confirmation our Department has encouraged states to think
9:03
Speaker 2: differently and creatively about how to solve the many health
9:07
Speaker 2: issues facing Americans. One way is by not allowing taxpayer
9:11
Speaker 2: funded benefits to be used to purchase unhealthy items like soda, candy,
9:17
Speaker 2: and other junk food. The number one purchase by SNAP
9:20
Speaker 2: recipients is sugary drinks.
9:24
Speaker 1: All right, now, consider that right now, Just reframe this
9:29
Speaker 1: and think of it in a different way. What if
9:31
Speaker 1: this just isn't about the government deciding what people can
9:33
Speaker 1: eat and buy, even if it is public's assistance. So
9:36
Speaker 1: what if this is a major Think of it this way.
9:38
Speaker 1: Reframe it major national security issue. Base think of it
9:44
Speaker 1: no one, you know, nobody in the media, in your
9:47
Speaker 1: personal life, at work, anybody. Nobody is going to argue
9:50
Speaker 1: with the fact it's proven. Now, nobody's going to argue
9:53
Speaker 1: against the fact that eating this crep work, eating this poison,
9:58
Speaker 1: year after year after year leads to major health problems,
10:04
Speaker 1: major behavioral problems. They've done study after study for most
10:08
Speaker 1: people there are on either on death row or serving
10:11
Speaker 1: really bad life sentences in prison, and they ask them
10:15
Speaker 1: about what they ate, what they grew up with, and
10:16
Speaker 1: it was all crap and all garbage. Of course. So
10:19
Speaker 1: if you think of it that way, does that change
10:21
Speaker 1: your reframe? Does that change your mind on whether or
10:24
Speaker 1: not they have a right to decide what's in the
10:28
Speaker 1: food they're buying with food snamps? Sorry, Snap benefits. It
10:31
Speaker 1: does for me. And now this isn't just just Snap
10:34
Speaker 1: benefit benefits or people that receive that kind of funding.
10:38
Speaker 1: This is everybody. So I'm not singling them out. Next
10:41
Speaker 1: time you're at a grocery store, right, talk about this
10:44
Speaker 1: issue that they're onto now with Maha and Bobby Kennedy.
10:47
Speaker 1: Next time you're at a grocery store, just instead of
10:50
Speaker 1: your own basket, just look around at any typical family
10:53
Speaker 1: because we're all relearning this stuff. Any typical family, and
10:56
Speaker 1: some of the crap that's in the basket, any major
10:59
Speaker 1: retail store, anything could be anywhere. Junk in the crap,
11:04
Speaker 1: in the sugar, in the garbage. It has major major
11:08
Speaker 1: effects on everybody, not just to cost down the road,
11:11
Speaker 1: but just society. All of it matters. Think of it
11:15
Speaker 1: that way, do you think now, maybe maybe you have
11:19
Speaker 1: a right as a taxpayer to decide that. No, if
11:23
Speaker 1: I'm paying for your food benefits, I think I actually
11:26
Speaker 1: do get to say in what you're buying with it,
11:28
Speaker 1: she said, right there, they do have the numbers, they've
11:31
Speaker 1: done the research, they've done the study before they came
11:33
Speaker 1: out with this. Number one purchase with SNAP benefits is
11:38
Speaker 1: junk food and sugary drinks. If I'm buying your meal,
11:43
Speaker 1: I actually get to decide what you're having. Sorry, I
11:47
Speaker 1: just do. I know this kind of doesn't jive with
11:50
Speaker 1: you don't want too much government overreach. I'm with you,
11:52
Speaker 1: and that's where the debate comes in. But when you
11:54
Speaker 1: think of it in terms of a national health crisis issue,
11:57
Speaker 1: kind of changes update on that, states are on board
12:01
Speaker 1: and more coming by the way. Bottom line is what
12:04
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is this is going to change
12:06
Speaker 1: this forever and down the road, down the road, this
12:08
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot healthier for the country.
12:10
Speaker 1: It just is. Because we all know. Let's talk about
12:12
Speaker 1: it in real life, in the real world and how
12:14
Speaker 1: it works. Sometimes you have to make the decision for them.
12:18
Speaker 1: For people, you just have to They're not going to
12:20
Speaker 1: do it on their own. They've got decades and decades
12:23
Speaker 1: of studies and research to look at what kinds of
12:29
Speaker 1: food has been bought with food stamps and or SNAP benefits,
12:32
Speaker 1: and it's not good. Overall, it's not good. And if
12:35
Speaker 1: you were eating healthy way on this, you know you
12:36
Speaker 1: don't want to pay it. Paint everybody into the same corner.
12:39
Speaker 1: If you were eating healthy on Snap benefits, it's not
12:42
Speaker 1: going to affect you. So what's the problem. You know,
12:44
Speaker 1: And I know you've seen. I know you've probably been
12:46
Speaker 1: on Instagram or Facebook or TikTok and people complaining about it.
12:50
Speaker 1: Why do they get decided what do I eat? Because
12:53
Speaker 1: you're not paying for it? We are, That's why. And
12:55
Speaker 1: it has major major costs down the road, either in
12:58
Speaker 1: healthcare or in crime. Stafle just does food equals behavior.
13:03
Speaker 1: We know this now. Nobody argues against that. So I'm
13:06
Speaker 1: all in speaking of crime stats, WHOA, they are dead
13:12
Speaker 1: serious about cleaning up crime on the streets. We all
13:15
Speaker 1: know the stories that have been here recently. Cincinnati, we
13:17
Speaker 1: had the couple beaten by the mob and that Lady
13:20
Speaker 1: Hawley is speaking out now. Any typical news story you
13:24
Speaker 1: see in New York City or Chicago, or La or
13:26
Speaker 1: Boston or anything. Washington, DC is particularly bad, maybe the
13:31
Speaker 1: worst out of all of them, out of all of
13:33
Speaker 1: our American cities, and it's right down the street from
13:35
Speaker 1: the White House. Symbolically also strategically because they can gain
13:39
Speaker 1: control of this. It's been a lot of talk this
13:41
Speaker 1: week about federalizing Washington, DC. On the streets. National Guards
13:44
Speaker 1: just standing on corner because the member DC one of
13:48
Speaker 1: the first cities to defund the police. How stupid was that?
13:51
Speaker 1: And a slap on the wrist, and street gangs can
13:54
Speaker 1: run rampant in our nation's capital, which is still by
13:57
Speaker 1: the way, because it's the nation's capital in major tourist destination.
14:01
Speaker 1: If we're going to clean up crime on the streets,
14:03
Speaker 1: it's got to start in a nation's capital, and I
14:06
Speaker 1: think it is guys though. Trump administration is dead serious
14:12
Speaker 1: about cleaning up the streets. Now we know about US
14:15
Speaker 1: Attorney for DC because they have their own US attorney,
14:18
Speaker 1: because it's the district Judge, Janine Piro. She's there to
14:22
Speaker 1: clean up the streets and to fix that city, and
14:26
Speaker 1: she's going to already. But it's not just her. And
14:28
Speaker 1: this is why I tell you this administration is dead
14:30
Speaker 1: serious about it. We've heard her a lot, but let's
14:33
Speaker 1: go to Stephen Miller, Trump advisor talking about DC itself.
14:36
Speaker 3: The President has been very clear that he's going to
14:38
Speaker 3: take the action necessary to secure the city of Washington
14:41
Speaker 3: for the people who live here, for all the American
14:43
Speaker 3: people and all who visit here is our capital city.
14:45
Speaker 3: It is more violent then Baghdad. It is more violent
14:48
Speaker 3: than parts of Ethiopia and parts of many of the
14:52
Speaker 3: most dangerous places in the world. It's really shocking if
14:55
Speaker 3: you should look at the graph that has been shown
14:57
Speaker 3: comparing parts of some of the mo dangerous fild states
15:01
Speaker 3: in the world compared to d C.
15:02
Speaker 1: More dangerous than Bad Dad. What is he talking about. Uh,
15:07
Speaker 1: he's not kidding. They published some of the crime stats
15:10
Speaker 1: obviously to you know, get some more support for this
15:12
Speaker 1: entire thing, and they had capital homicide rates capitals of
15:15
Speaker 1: countries across the world, cities like Mexico City, and they
15:20
Speaker 1: did it per thou hundred thousand people, So homicide rates
15:24
Speaker 1: per one hundred thousand in all these cities. Mexico City
15:28
Speaker 1: eight per hundred thousand, Bogata, Colombia eleven per hundred thousand,
15:36
Speaker 1: Havana four per hundred thousand, Lima PERU seven per hundred thousand.
15:42
Speaker 1: These are capital homicide rates. You know what it is
15:44
Speaker 1: in DC. Compare that to eight seven five four Washington
15:49
Speaker 1: d C, our nation's capital, the homicide rate is forty
15:53
Speaker 1: one per one hundred thousand people. You can't have it. Oh,
16:00
Speaker 1: of course he can't have it. And this is why
16:02
Speaker 1: they're so dead ass serious about this as well as
16:05
Speaker 1: we all know. By now we know what Trump is.
16:08
Speaker 1: Let we know he's big into symbolism because it's a
16:11
Speaker 1: big part of his persuasion technique. Right Symbolically, Washington, d C.
16:15
Speaker 1: Being one of the unsafest cities in the world is
16:19
Speaker 1: not a good look and he knows that, right, So
16:21
Speaker 1: why not start at home and clean it up there?
16:23
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you it was looking that way
16:26
Speaker 1: earlier in the week when they started talking about federalizing
16:29
Speaker 1: Washington d C. I would be shocked if it didn't happen. Now,
16:32
Speaker 1: absolutely shocked. You're gonna have National Guard troops taking over
16:35
Speaker 1: for DC cops at directing things. They know we're in
16:38
Speaker 1: charge now at these little street punks. Oh and that
16:41
Speaker 1: ones that beat up Big Balls the other night, remember him,
16:43
Speaker 1: Big Balls? From Doge. Yeah, he's still in the hospital.
16:47
Speaker 1: That was right in the streets of Washington, d C.
16:49
Speaker 1: Just another story that's putting this thing over the finish line.
16:53
Speaker 1: They are going to clean this up, and here's the
16:54
Speaker 1: after effect. They still have three years left in this administration.
16:58
Speaker 1: Do not be shocked. And if you see a lot
17:00
Speaker 1: of other cities getting federalized this way. Oh and here's
17:05
Speaker 1: the pushback already. It won't be about the crime, right, No,
17:08
Speaker 1: it won't be about that. Yeah, but the lefties will say, oh,
17:10
Speaker 1: he's a dictator, he's sending the army to the troops.
17:14
Speaker 1: You know, they'll ignore the crime. They'll ignore the policies
17:17
Speaker 1: that they voted in place to let these street gangs
17:20
Speaker 1: run loose, slap on the wrist, nobody even has to
17:23
Speaker 1: make bail, and they're out in the street within hours
17:25
Speaker 1: doing it again. They won't talk about that. They'll just
17:28
Speaker 1: talk about the presence of cleaning up the streets. So
17:31
Speaker 1: get ready for the pushback. Ignore it and if you
17:35
Speaker 1: have to mock it, because it's time. It's going to
17:38
Speaker 1: start Washington, DC and then every other major city in
17:40
Speaker 1: the country. They're going to clean this crap up, and
17:42
Speaker 1: they should they one should good glad to see it.
17:46
Speaker 1: It's got to stop, all right. I'm gonna send you
17:49
Speaker 1: in the weekend with a ridiculous story that you should
17:51
Speaker 1: also mock because what we don't ever want to be
17:55
Speaker 1: is Canada. I'm sorry my Canadian friends. I know I've
17:59
Speaker 1: got a few few of you listeners actually that are Canadian,
18:02
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry you're dealing with this, but you probably
18:04
Speaker 1: are outraged by it just as much. I mean, they
18:06
Speaker 1: the ban on free speech. See, they don't have like
18:09
Speaker 1: a Gina Carano fighting for it. That's not happening over there.
18:12
Speaker 1: The ban on social media posts very strong with censorship.
18:16
Speaker 1: Their citizens are getting taxed up the wazoo. They have
18:20
Speaker 1: less and less rights. Just awful. Well, they've taken it
18:25
Speaker 1: a step further Canada, specifically Nova Scotia. I've got a
18:31
Speaker 1: lot of family roots in Nova Scotia. My wife likes
18:34
Speaker 1: to call me Canadian. She's wrong, You're wrong about that. Sorry.
18:39
Speaker 1: They've banned walking in the woods, that's right now at
18:42
Speaker 1: the outsetting. And to say why, well, it's because they've
18:44
Speaker 1: got a dry season and it's drought and they don't
18:46
Speaker 1: want to start fires. And it's always in you know,
18:48
Speaker 1: it's not always an outward reason that seems to make sense. Right,
18:52
Speaker 1: but instead of cleaning up the woods like like like California,
18:56
Speaker 1: not taking clearing out the underbrush, which would make this
18:59
Speaker 1: pro you know, clearing out some branches, which would be
19:02
Speaker 1: a lot of good. Note they always throw it on
19:03
Speaker 1: the citizens and in walking trails throughout the province of
19:06
Speaker 1: Nova Scotia, they've banned walking and walking trails and hiking trails.
19:12
Speaker 1: That's right, you don't believe me. Here's the report. A
19:16
Speaker 1: leisurely walk in the woods is no longer allowed in
19:18
Speaker 1: Nova Scotia, and it may not be for the rest
19:20
Speaker 1: of the summer. Effective four pm today, we're telling Nova
19:24
Speaker 1: Scotians stay out of the woods. Nova Scotia's premier announced
19:27
Speaker 1: today a ban on activities in the forest because of
19:30
Speaker 1: extreme dry conditions and the risk of wildfires. Hiking, camping, fishing,
19:35
Speaker 1: and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted. Now, listen,
19:39
Speaker 1: we've got some bad Blue states and blue cities here
19:42
Speaker 1: who have massively stupid decisions. We all know that Red
19:46
Speaker 1: states too. It just happens. But how here's the takeaway.
19:49
Speaker 1: How easily they were able to institute this is the
19:53
Speaker 1: real story and this is what you don't want to
19:54
Speaker 1: do now. I was watching a lot of the follow
19:56
Speaker 1: up stories on this just to see the I'm like,
19:58
Speaker 1: why are these how did Novas Scottions, how of these Canadians?
20:00
Speaker 1: How are they taking this? And of course somemboprom are going, oh,
20:03
Speaker 1: you know, that's not geez gee whiz, that's not a
20:07
Speaker 1: oh gee, I'm gonna miswalking with my dog. That's not
20:10
Speaker 1: too good. Ranging from that too, well, I don't like it,
20:14
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, I guess it's necessary. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:17
Speaker 1: Another one I saw the other day said, well, whatever
20:19
Speaker 1: they want, you know, we'll We'll just wait until till
20:21
Speaker 1: it's sub zero temperatures again and then I'm sure we
20:24
Speaker 1: can walk again. That's how they get away with something
20:26
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous and not doing their job as park services
20:29
Speaker 1: or whatever the hell else they are to take care
20:32
Speaker 1: of the underbrush and to take care of fire prevention.
20:34
Speaker 1: That's how they're able to get away with this because
20:36
Speaker 1: nobody's pushing back. Canadians are too nice. This is why
20:39
Speaker 1: you can't be nice. You can't be nice when something
20:42
Speaker 1: stupid happens. You've got to fight absurdity with absurdity, and
20:46
Speaker 1: you have to be an absolute bastard and pushback on
20:48
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. That's our American mindset. That's what
20:52
Speaker 1: we are. That's why we're not Canada. Do we have problems, Hell,
20:55
Speaker 1: yes we do, but we're not sitting there going, oh yeah,
20:58
Speaker 1: well they're abandoned walking. Yeah, that's well, I guess it's
21:00
Speaker 1: kind of necessary. I'll just go I'll just behave. Sometimes
21:03
Speaker 1: you can't behave when something is stupid happens. You've got
21:06
Speaker 1: to be able to push back. Otherwise, what else are
21:08
Speaker 1: they going to ban? Canada has banned going outside. Oh
21:11
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, wait a minute, I meant that to be
21:14
Speaker 1: a joke, but it's not. They already did that. Remember COVID.
21:17
Speaker 1: You thought you were living in some kind of a
21:18
Speaker 1: state or city with bad COVID rules. Multiply bat by
21:22
Speaker 1: a thousand, and you have Canada. That's what it is.
21:25
Speaker 1: You can't ever allow this kind of thing to happen.
21:27
Speaker 1: And it starts with mocking it, making fun of it,
21:29
Speaker 1: and pushing back. We won't do our job, we won't
21:32
Speaker 1: clear out the underbrush and the walking trails. We'll just
21:34
Speaker 1: put they literally put yellow police tape around the entrances
21:37
Speaker 1: to trails and walking things and you can't walk there. Guys,
21:41
Speaker 1: we don't ever want to be Canada. Ever. You've got
21:44
Speaker 1: to push back enough of that. I'm out of material
21:47
Speaker 1: and you've got to get into your weekend. Thanks for
