Wicked Radio 12-19: WE Killed The Pork Bill, Dudes and Christmas Gifts, & Good News For The Bald Eagle? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Ding dong. The bill is dead. Something amazing happened yesterday
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and today and going forward. And I promised to you, you know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: my promise to you if he can't talk about current
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: events without talking about some politics. But my promise to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you is not to always make it about the swampy crap, right,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: because nobody wants to be bombarded with that all the time.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: But in talking about this gross disgusting continuing Resolution bill
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that happened in Congress, but the end result of it,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: what happened, We the people spoke up and it was incredible.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Not to get into the weeds of that too much,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: but we'll talk about that today. I also got to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: talk about some good news about some Christmas stuff. Men
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: are finally speaking up and we're saying we're saying, fellow
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: dudes what we want. It's also good news about the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: American Eagle. Believe it or not. Bet you didn't have
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that in your dance card today. I didn't either, but
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it is good news. But to kick it all off,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we are now. You know, when you're less than a week,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you're in the red zone, right, less than a week
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: officially in the red zone. Before the big day chrimas
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Christmas and Honika late this year too for my Jewish friends.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But I saw something before we get into all of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the swampy stuff. But the Good News too, saw something
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. And it was only about fifteen minutes ago.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I know, you can find any pole, any statistic, anything
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you absolutely want to make it fit your narrative. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: totally understand that. But there was a national poll they
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: did this year. I was fascinated by this. All I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: wanted to do was look up to see in general
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in some of the national polls, and I believe this
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: one was Rasmussen. They talked to how many people they
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: talk to people who intend on buying Christmas gifts this year,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and they asked people when they start their Christmas shopping.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: This was incredible and fifty one percent of them. Now
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they pull thousands of people. I think they're mostly phone polls,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: thousands of people. Okay, so it can't be that far off.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Fifty one percent of us in this country said we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: haven't even started our shopping yet. And I thought, wow,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that's all right. I'm a late shop opper, so I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: totally get that. But fifty one percent that surprised me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And then they got to this this, This was the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: shocking part. Again, take it with a grain of salt.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's just a pull. Thirty eight percent of the people
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: they talk to, right, almost forty percent said they don't
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: start shopping for somebody for Christmas Eve nil until Christmas
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Eve Day throughout the night. That's a that's a ballsy move.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Boy.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm a late shopper, but boy I'm even late.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Wait until because even Christmas Eve, even Amazon's not gonna
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: get half your stuff there the next day. That whoo,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that's I don't know if I would push it that far.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And I'm a late shopper, Like I said, I am
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a procrastinator. But if that's true, maybe people were just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: trying to give a shocking answer. Thirty eight percent of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: people don't start shopping until Christmas Eve. That's like the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: old Christmas movies from the forties and fifties. You know what,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the dad would put on his put on his head,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: go downtown and shop for all his gifts and knock
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it all out of one night. That Oh, that's amazing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I hope that's true because that is such a ballsy move.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, we got to get into it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Let's get into the stuff. By the way, thanks for
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: finding Wicked Radio. Appreciate you on all the platforms formats,
• 3:12

  Speaker 1: some other stuff and the audio podcast always wherever you

  Speaker 1: get your podcasts posted just about nine am Eastern Time
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: every day. All right. I try not to always talk
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: about it, try to let you know what's going on
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in the news. You can't talk about current events, social
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: commentary and the news without talk without politics. These days,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it's just all different. But it depends on how you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: talk about it, right, can't get into the weeds of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: what this bill means and this and that. Just doing
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this for years in radio world and now this. There's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: nothing more complicated or potentially just absolutely like listening to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: paint dry than a continuing resolation bill. I spent resoluti,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a spending bill to keep the government open. Right, It's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: like uh Verstu's complicated and people are frustrated because it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: always corrupt and it's just boring. And but the only
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: reason why I'm talking about this is, yes, I get
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it that it's important. Something incredible happened yesterday with this thing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: The bottom line is we the people spoke up because
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we have the information now, and we stopped this thing
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: from becoming law. I'm telling you, if this thing came
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to pass two even one year ago, this would have
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: been in place forever. And it was so bad. Spending
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: bills are always bad with the pork they stuff into
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it special interests and all this other corrupt bullshit. This
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was the worst possibly for people who have looked at
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this for a long time of all time. But we
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: stopped it. Why It's like Elon says, you're the news now.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Now we have the information to be able to stop
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: this and put pressure on these politicians who are trying
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to push it through. Here's a little breakdown of what
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: was in this thing. Okay, Anna Paulina Luna, one of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the representatives from my state where I live in Florida,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: she's from the West coast. She was in it, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: she was upset because they're trying to get a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of hurricane relief. And I know the North Carolina reps
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: are trying to get this too, but especially in the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: West coast of Florida, they've just been devastated, and the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: FEMA money and you know how that goes is drying
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: out before this thing got shot down. Here's what she
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was saying about the actual bill. The fact is is that, look,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: this is a sandwich.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to say that we're being forced
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: into this position.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: They could have done a standalone. They did this because
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: they knew that it would put members in this position
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to support it or damned if we do, or damned
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: if we don't it. So she wants to get by
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the way, I love that we have politicians now that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: will stand in the Capitol steps and call something a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: shit sandwich. Love that. I mean, that's all real people talk.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And she's fantastic, by the way. Okay, so she was upset.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: This is early in the day yesterday because they were
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: trying to stuff in all the pork and all she
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: was trying to get hurricane relief for her people in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: her district. As a lot of people are totally understand that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I get it. Why was there such a fight because
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: we got a whole to the information yesterday and it
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: was all over the place on x and other social
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: media outlets. We that's us, the people got a hold
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of the information of the garbage that was in this thing,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: started to put pressure on a lot of these politicians.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: The pressure got to them and they started to hear
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: from the people again, this is a different world. This
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is why this is fantastic, and it's more than just
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a spending bill. To me, the takeaway story is the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: people spoke up because we know what's going on now
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: because of free speech. Here's one of those politicians, John Thune,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: South Dakota Senator, the Fox News reporter and good for him,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: was asking him about that kind of pressure because here's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: what happened. Elon Musk was all over this, exposing all
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of them, and he went out and he said, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: this was the post that made the most difference. He said,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: any politician, any Republican, even the votes for this garbage
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: bill that's in it, over fifteen hundred pages long, should
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: be voted out within two years. Here's his response. You
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: think this got to him?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Tweets from Moscow? And has that complicated this well?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I mean I think that there's always a lot of
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: interest in what's happening up here.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, this is more than inflast.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: They're telling people they vote yes they should be voted out.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: This social media world is a part of our politics
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and I think members have to expect that and there'll
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: be a lot of hard votes in the next couple
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: of years.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't think he's a censorship guy, but now
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: we know why there's been such a push to censor information.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: For we the people getting hold of this stuff. That's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: exactly why, because we read it. I mean we were
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: getting bits and pieces of it, understanding what was in
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: this that wasn't the day before. That's how all this
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: government corruption got through before any of this happened, because
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we didn't have the information. Now we do, and now
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it puts pressure on guys like that and anybody that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was voting for this thing. What was in it before
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: we killed it? And more on that in a second here.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Well better than me trying to go through this thing.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Vivic Ramaswami, who is a big part of DOGE. He's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a co chair of this committee Department of Government Efficiency.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: He actually read it. This guy just operates on a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: higher level, went through over fifteen hundred pages of the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: pork and Garbage and he outlined in a video of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: some of the crap that's in it. You're ready.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: It contains pay raises for members of Congress, and I'm
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: not making this up an expansion of their federal health benefits.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: It contains all kinds of special interests and pork funding
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: inuting opening up a new stadium in Washington.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: D C.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: It renews the Global Engagement Center, which is a keynode
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: of the censorship industrial complex. And the worst part is
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: they didn't want you to know about any of it,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and that's why they made this a last minute jam job.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: The reason I'm co heading DOGE is I think we
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: need outsiders to bring actual accountability to.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Washington, d C. Well, accountability is there now, but it
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: all goes to this information that we have. So just
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: before we get to the end result in the good
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: news about this thing dying a horrible death, listen to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: this part of the government censorship complex he was talking about.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Is this this bill they were trying to push through
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: yesterday actually makes it illegal to make a meme of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: elected representatives that puts them in a compromising position you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: want to talk about censorship. It was called the Take
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: It Down Act. Any elected official that is put in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a you know, you make up a meme or artificial
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: intelligence of them that they don't like. You could be arrested.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: That was going to be law. That's how close we
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: were to this thing happening. But it's all right because
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the people spoke up and that pressure, because we have
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the information happen. Here's the end results. Elon Musk, a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: guy who in charge of that information, said, your elected
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: representatives have heard, and now that terrible bill is dead.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: The voice of the people has triumphed. That's how it works.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That's why this is a story, and that's why it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: such such good news. Close to one of the worst
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: things that ever come through Washington before they're all elected
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: out pushing in all their special interests, in all their
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: crap and making life worse. Well, that died because we
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: looked at it, we got all the information, and then
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we made sure it died. That's just fantastic. I absolutely
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: love that. All right, that's enough for swampy politics stuff.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Except for one thing. Excuse me. There was a piece
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of good news about the American bald eagle that happened.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And this might have caught your eye if you saw
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: this already. It did for mine, the bald eagle. So
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: government actually did do one thing right is set to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: become America's national bird. And you're probably thinking, hold on
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a second, it was already right. No, believe it or not,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it wasn't. I didn't know either. Uh, if you think
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the bald eagle because it's on our currency was It's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: never officially been the bird of America until now. The
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: House passed a bill this week. Good they got something
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: good done to make it the official bird. The Senate
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: had already voted for it unanimously, and now mush brain
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: has to sign it off into law before he goes
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: off and pardons more people. Here's what we can thank
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for this. This guy should to actually get a Medal
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of freedom. There's a bald eagle enthusiast in Minnesota making
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it happen. He's seventy eight years old. That's his passion
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: bald eagles. I guess his name is Preston Cook. He's
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: been collecting bald eagle memorabilia for over fifty years. I
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: don't know what kind of bald bald eagle memorabilia is
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: out there, but he's got it. I guess he's a
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: mass more than forty thousand eagle related items and he
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: donated him to the National Eagle Center Museum in Wabashah, Minnesota.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I don't how many people go see that thing, but cool,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: all right. He realized back in twenty ten, this long ago,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that Congress had never passed true legislation to make it. Officials,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: started lobbying his own politicians in Minnesota to get it done.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Finally they picked that up in a slow day and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: they pushed it forward. And now we have the American
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: bald eagle. The American eagle that you see everywhere in
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: symbolism is now our official bird. Say government can work
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: like that? Not too bad at all, all right. Like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I said, we're getting closer and closer to Christmas, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I hope, I hope you're not like me and the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: thirty eight thirty eight percent of other Americans who haven't
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: done anything yet. But this is fascinating to me. This
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: popped up yesterday as well. It's a viral video. I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: know it's gone viral. As the kids say, some TikTok
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: lady did something, and I actually give her credit for this.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: She started to poke fun as she's doing her own
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Christmas shopping for her family about all the gift guides
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for men. And I've thought this for a long time.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: You see him online, you see him in print still,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: but you see him now a lot on social media,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: from a lot of bit different retailers, even some men's
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: specific stores. What do men want for Christmas? It's always
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the most basic stuff like you could get on a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: random Tuesday in August some somewhere at Target, right, And
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: she made fun of it, and good for her, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I agree with her, and a lot of this stuff.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: GIF guides for men always make it seem like they're
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: for men that have just spawned in like it's their
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: first day and planet Earth. Things like a water bottle,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a wallet and pera some underwear. I saw one that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: was saying, every man needs a good razor. Is he
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: new here? You know she makes a good point, Actually
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: she really does. Uh. It's kind of like with Mother's Day.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Mother's Day is like mom wants the best giver, the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: best as you should. You should honor your mom and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the the mom of your kids and stuff. What's Father's Day?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You know you gave us like a pair of pliers
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and we're like happy as hell. Well, the same thing
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: kind of goes with Christmas. It's true, like somehow it's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: been beaten into us that you don't really ask for
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: anything for Christmas. It's not like a manly thing to do.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like with my dad when I was
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a kid, I'd say, Dad, what should we get you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: for Christmas? And he'd be like, you can't afford to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: get me anything. No, get something for your mother, which
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is great. It's an honorable thing to do. I would
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: just like to throw this out there. And I think
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I have some credibility talking about this because I'm surrounded
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: by women in my life and I love it. I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: have a wife, two daughters, so I understand it. They
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: are the focus, as they should be. But my fellow dudes,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: especially dads, I think it's time. I think it's okay.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I think we can actually say we want some cool
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: stuff this year, you know, and you don't have a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: right to complain if you don't get anything cool. Later on,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it's like, well I never get anything. It's all about
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: them if you didn't tell them. So if you want
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: something else, get rid of that stigma, get rid of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the guilt absolutely completely. As an adult dude, I think
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: we should be able to put together a Christmas list
