  Speaker 1: It's October October, Tuesday, October first. Welcome to Wicked Radio.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm Bill Adams. Thanks for hanging out with me. I
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: appreciate you so much. We've got an October surprise already.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Is this the one they've been talking about or is
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: it just really good negotiation on the part of one
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of the unions. Talk about that because it was some
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: breaking news overnight. We lost the hit king Pete Rose.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, baseball has one last shot,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one last shot to do the Pete Rose legacy. Right,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about that VP debate night. You're gonna watch
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I actually am, I'm gonna watch this one. I'm actually
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: interested in it. And President Trump on the ground being
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a president. Where are the other two that are actually
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in charge right now? We don't know. I don't think
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: anybody knows. Talking to FEMA, that's about it. Let's get
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to the stuff. Doc strike. It has happened. It was
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: long promised that it was coming, had a lot of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: chances to talk about this with the federal administration to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: try to prevent this from happening. Happened. They said it
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was coming Tuesday, October first, and here we are on
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the day and it happened as of twelve o'clock midnight,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: twelve oh one am this morning. What are we talking about?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The longshoreman union eighty five thousand workers, eighty five thousand
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: from Maine to Texas, from the Pacific to the Gulf
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to the Atlantic, thirty six sports in the country. How
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: much is it going to cost the economy? Estimated one
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: billion dollars a day. Let's see if that happens, will it? Yeah? Probably?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about a supply chain crisis. Remember
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we went through that with COVID, and that was you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that was really rough. These were the folks that got
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it going to get our supplies, goods and services as
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: much as we did when that was happening. During and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: after COVID. These guys got it going. Without them, you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: were in some deep, deep trouble. Now here's the longshoreman
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Union president. This guy's name is Harold Daggett. You think
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this guy is somebody that's going to back down anytime soon?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Who's going to win here in the long run, You're
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: better off sitting down and let's get a contract and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: let's move on with this world. And could today's world.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I'll cripple you.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I will cripple you.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And you have no idea what that means. Nobody does. Guys,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I got a central casting for a union president, isn't
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: he I'll cripple you. I'll cripple you. But he's right.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: They control everything, all of the things that we buy
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on the store shelves at Target and your local grocery store,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and your goods and your services, and construction supplies and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: cars and medications sadly, which is manufactured in most cases overseas.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: First of all, the first union in the first issue,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in the first takeaway is we have to diversify or
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: supply chain. We just have to gotta start making more
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: stuff in this country, keeping it domestic. But right now
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: we don't. So these people control everything right now. Are
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: they right or they wrong? I don't know, but we
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: better do something for him because we're a month away
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: from this election and the timing is obvious. You know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they've got they've never had more power than right now
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: with an election coming up. What people are gonna feel
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the more they're willing to put Americans through pain to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: feel this, that's not too good. But they're fighting for
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a new contract and they want one, and they're probably
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: gonna get one. But don't worry everybody. We've got a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: sharp sharp I mean, right on it negotiator in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: White House right now, don't we. Yeah, not so much,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: mister Preman. When you intervene and the doc workers strike,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: if they go on strike on Tuesday, no, why not
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: because it's collective organ I don't believe in tap tart
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: dark God, No, I'm not. No, I'm not gonna intervene.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I gotta go. I gotta go to the beach in
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Rohole with Delaware and sleep on the beach. Yeah, he
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't believe in what he was talking about there towards
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the end was taff tartly that's the uh. Since it
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was enacted in nineteen forty seven, I guess which is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a strike buster is what it is. It was passed
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: by Congress back then. He doesn't believe in not going
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to intervene. But forget about the law. It's just him,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it's just them. You think, forget if you don't think
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he's going to be involved. You think Kamala Harris is
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: going to get anywhere near the longshoreman the dog strike. No,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: So there's very well could be who knows. Let's hope
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: not this could go the full month into the election
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and beyond. Don't know, but they got a lot of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: power right now. All right, here's a different world. Leaders
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: lead President Trump on the ground of Valdosta, Georgia yesterday.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: One of the things he did was open up for
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: magas supporters, and he did it through his channels GoFundMe
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: very quickly went over a million. I don't know what
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it is at this morning, but it's way over a million.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: More importantly, though, being on the ground and being with
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: those people just yesterday, there were a lot of supplies
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he was handing out, and he also wronownced something very significant.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Why the federal government can't restore communication power to these
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: poor people in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, most of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the Southeast before the private industry can is absolutely pathetic.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But this was an awesome announcement.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: We want to get Starlink hooked up because they have
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: no communication whatsoever, and Elon will always come through.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: We know that, and so we're working on that getting
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: them hooked up.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: They asked me whether or not that would be possible,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and we're going to try and get the star link
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in there as soon as possible because they have no communication.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Once again, private industry leading the way. The fans could
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: do it. They actually could, and I know and I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: get it, and I totally understand it was you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Biden was on the phone with FEMA opening up more
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: funds and that's important, and Kamala was, I don't know
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: whatever she does. I think she actually went to FEMA,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: but answered once again no questions on her way as
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: she got off the tarmac and walked into the building.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Of course not of course that's not gonna happen, because
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it's just as important as behind the scenes, being on
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the ground with those people. And this is a little
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: bit long and it's just kind of like some ambient
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: background noise, but you hear the reaction from the people
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: as Trump was walking around and talking to them yesterday.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Listen towards the end, what this one guy says is,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you know, Trump's thinking, and they're thanking him for being there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Listen to the reaction to the people. This is what matters.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: This is what people take away. Who was there for them.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna see, they're not gonna feel opening up
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: federal funds. They're gonna remember who was on the ground
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and actually made the trip to care about them. Here's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Trump on the ground yesterday.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Trump, thank you. You say that all the hurricane, that's
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: what Dan Harris is done to amru.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't think we can actually say here that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: this storm is what Biden Harris did to them. But
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You know that phrase. Perception is reality.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Perception has become the reality. The storm is one thing,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the lack of response is another. But not being there
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: is the perception that's become reality. Where are they? That's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the prevailing takeaway from this storm in the aftermath of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: how horrific it is, and as the destruction and the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: death toll goes up, and some of the stories, especially
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: out of western North Carolina just terrific, But where are they?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Where's the response from this government? And they may be
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: doing a lot behind the scenes, that's not what the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: people see. If you were God forbid you or I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: were stuck in that situation and you're trying to find
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a lost relative, or you're trying to recover your life
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in that situation, and you don't see feel any response,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: any love from the people that are actually in charge,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: right now that matters. What matters more is the guy
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that's also already been president is at least on the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: ground as close as he could get, and he's there.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That's what matters. Leaders lead all. In the meantime, vice
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: presidential debate tonight, are you gonna watch? I'm gonna watch.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'm interested in this, I actually am. I'm not gonna
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: sit here and lie to you. I don't always watch
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the vice presidential debates. They're not really too consequential. This
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: one really might be. You know, it was funny just
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: about an hour ago, I was looking this up and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, how many people actually do watch these debates? Well,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they had fifty seven million people watched the last one
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty two. I think this was the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Mike Pants to fly in his head one. Yeah, that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: was rough, but that was a lot of numbers, not
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: as big as the presidential one. I mean, this last
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: one with Trump and Kamalo was huge, huge, as he
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: would say. But I'm gonna watch this because I want
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to see one particular thing, and you may be watching
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: for the same reason if you're so inclined. Is Tim
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Walls gonna lose it? I think it's fair to say now,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and we're free to say whatever we want, think whatever
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we want. He's a spazzy kind of guy. If I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: can say that, you know what I mean. He's just
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he's jerky. You know, he kicks. Even when he's like
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: his arms are locked shoulder to shoulder with somebody, he'll kick.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: He's just a weird, weird dude. Even though remember they
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: called everybody else weird. They're always what they accused the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: opponent of being. I always remember that about politicians. I
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: want to see and I'm hoping this is what I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: really want to see. I want to see Jade Vance,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: who's gonna be smooth. He'll be a good debater. He oh,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: he always has been if you look at his senatorial
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: debates when he was running in Ohio. Good. I mean,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: he's sharp, he's aggressive, speaks from the common man's perspective.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It's really good. But I want to see in What
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping is that he sends Tim Walls over the edge.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Tim Walls is a real anger problem. Like he's a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: really like, like fitzy kind of dude. And if if
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: JD gets under his skin about the China connections of
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: what's coming out now possibly Russia connection, asks him why
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: he has thirty plus trips to China and yet doesn't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: have Have you heard this? Tim Walls has no investments
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in American business. He doesn't have a four oh one K,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He has no stocks that's been fact checked and proven.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that doesn't have an investment in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: anything in this country. Like literally, I was trying to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: think the other day of any adults I know in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: my life who don't have an investment in anything. He
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: has none, probably like I mean, like like a house
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in mortgage, but no four o one K, no investment.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: That's strange. Combined with the fact that he's been to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: China over thirty times, that kind of stuff some sort
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: of a bombshell I'm hoping Jade Vance throws at him
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to throw Tim Walls over the edge. And there's not
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. Remember the other day we were
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: talking about this, Actually it might have been just yesterday.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: There was a rumor, you want to take that with
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a grain of salt coming out of the Harris Wall's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: campaign that Tim Walls is not very confident and they're
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: not confident in him going into this debate. Says he's nervous. Now.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I believe it because the Democrat run media started to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: talk about it too. They're not too confident. In fact,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: just yesterday, MSNBC was already prepping the low IQ low
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: information MSNBC voters for a bad Tim Wall's performance. It
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: really happened. This is what they said. He will be articulate,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and he will be prepared, and he will be better
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: than Trump was. And I think it's multimately going to
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: be a challenge for Tim Walls. She was talking about
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: jd Vance there. He'll be articulate, it'll be a tough debater,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: better than Trump. They're prepping, they're ready for it. That
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it's not going to go so well. I expect that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think Tim Wallas is going to do well
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: at all. He's on the record saying he's not a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: good debater. Like I said, what I'm hoping for is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a meltdown. That's what I want to see. I want
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: like headlines out of this. I hope you and I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: gather tomorrow morning for the live stream and we're talking
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: about Tim Walls like I don't know, dropping an F
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: bomb or something out of frustration. That's what I want
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to see. And it may it may not. I don't know.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: We'll see, but I'm pretty confident J. Jd Vance is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: going to do very well. It's a smart guy and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: he speaks from the common man's perspective. So I'll see
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: what happens with it. I'm definitely gonna watch, that's for sure.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: All Right, lost Pete Rose. We lost lost the hit
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: King yesterday, eighty three years old. This one hit me.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm just such a sports fan, but I've got this
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: lifelong admiration for Pete Rose. But Billy bet on baseball,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of course, I will never I will never believe he
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: bet on his own team ever. Ever against his own team.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I should say, maybe he bet on the Reds or
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the Phillies, maybe the Expos to win. Maybe, But a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: competitor like that, I don't think ever would bet against
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: his own team. And that was never revealed, so he
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: was never It was a lifetime ban from the Hall
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of Fame. His entire life. He never got to see
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: his name called. He never got to see the bronze
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: statue of himself ever. And I'll tell you this, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: think major League Baseball has one last shot to do
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: right by the Pete Rose legacy and for his family
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and for baseball fans everywhere, it was a lifetime ban.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Sadly his life is over. They got a shot to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: put him in the Hall of Fame posthumously, now will they. Well,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: it's the safe and kind of gutless thing to do,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: so probably, to be honest with you, because that's how
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball works these days. At least give the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: guy's legacy a chance to shine in the hall in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Cooperstown forever. You said it was a lifetime ban. State
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of your word, let's hope. So anyway, this is the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: moment when he became the hit king and surpassed Ty
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Cobb for forty two. Actually he's at forty two to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: fifty six. Now, that's what he wound up with. This
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was the moment he did it. Drum shower, shut.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Rose, ab bats, Hummer, fourth and.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: One hundred and ninety two. Yeah, wound up with forty
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: two to fifty six, most singles, most career games, play,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a long, long time career at bat's career played, appearances.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You know, the Hall of Fame is the Hall of fame,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it's not the Hall of Angels. You know, you've got
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you've got baseball players that are in there that are
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: convicted drug dealers. I mean that's a fact. But Pete
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Rose was kept out his whole life. But it's okay.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I found this little factoid that I had no idea
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: was actually a thing. He is a Hall of Famer
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in one respect. Did you know this? He's in the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: World Wrestling WWE Hall of Fame. I have no idea,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: so his whole life, Pete Rose could say I am
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. He was inducted as the Wrestling
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Hall's Celebrity Wing in two thousand and four after making
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: several appearances at WWE pay per view. Had no idea.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: If wrestling can do it right, baseball can do it right.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Wake up. We gotta get sports writers out of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: system for voting people into the Hall of Fame because
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: they are because they hold grudges. I mean they held
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a grudge against Pete Rose obviously because he wasn't too
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: nice in interviews. They tried to keep Ted Williams out
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of the Hall of Fame. Got to get baseball to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: be the national pastime again, all right, Hopefully, Like I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: said tomorrow morning for the live stream, we're talking about
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: some kind of a tim Walls meltdown. Will it happen? Hm?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not, we'll see. Let's keep an eye on
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this dock strike, eighty five thousand long shortman workers on strike.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It may affect you goods and services. And I will
• 14:56
