- 0:04Speaker 1: Are you ready? Are you ready for what's sure to
- 0:06Speaker 1: be the biggest Saint Patrick's Day of all time? All right,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, but it's gonna be
- 0:11Speaker 1: a big one for sure, and it needs to be
- 0:12Speaker 1: protected at all costs because it's the last offensive holiday.
- 0:17Speaker 1: And you're thinking it's not offensive. Well, I know, I
- 0:20Speaker 1: agree with you, But that's why we need to protect it,
- 0:22Speaker 1: because it's fantastic and it really is. All the consumer
- 0:26Speaker 1: indexes and all the news reports of saying on the
- 0:29Speaker 1: business channels it is expected to be a big one
- 0:31Speaker 1: and it's not till Monday. I get that, whatever, But really,
- 0:35Speaker 1: the weekend attached to Saint Patti's Day is happening like
- 0:37Speaker 1: basically right now on a Friday. So we're gonna talk
- 0:41Speaker 1: a lot about that. By the way, I walked by
- 0:42Speaker 1: a pub yesterday called Finnigan's Wake. What do you think
- 0:46Speaker 1: that place is gonna look like this weekend? It's gonna
- 0:49Speaker 1: be a I hope I can get in there. It's
- 0:51Speaker 1: a blast still in New York. Thanks for finding me,
- 0:53Speaker 1: Wicked Radio. Welcome to Friday. We're gonna talk about that,
- 0:55Speaker 1: but also some stuff in the news you're seeing all
- 0:57Speaker 1: these protests in the news these days. US was in
- 1:01Speaker 1: Trump Tower not too far from me right now in
- 1:03Speaker 1: New York City. Hamas made it. Okay, I get it.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Pro Palestine supporters, that Mackmood Khalid guy, that's what it
- 1:10Speaker 1: was all about. But they're saying the same thing. They're
- 1:12Speaker 1: Prohamas exactly what it is. I'm gonna tell you why
- 1:15Speaker 1: this is not the big deal that you're being told
- 1:17Speaker 1: that it is by all the news reports. They're burning
- 1:20Speaker 1: out and you're gonna hear a quote from the police
- 1:23Speaker 1: chief of New York and how they dealt with this
- 1:25Speaker 1: and how quickly they dealt with this. That's what's really
- 1:28Speaker 1: going on. How it's being presented and promoting and promoted.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Nothing of this is organic, is nothing even to like
- 1:35Speaker 1: really worry about, I don't think. And there's a telltale
- 1:39Speaker 1: sign you can tell when this thing is not organic whatsoever.
- 1:42Speaker 1: And it's all designed. But the important part is it's
- 1:44Speaker 1: funded by somebody. And then I got a story to
- 1:46Speaker 1: wrap up today with that will send you into the
- 1:48Speaker 1: weekend just feeling so satisfied and a feel good story
- 1:55Speaker 1: about justice. Remember the Baton girl we were talking about
- 1:59Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, that Virginia runner who cracked
- 2:02Speaker 1: the other runner over the head with the baton. Usually
- 2:04Speaker 1: these stories wind up like they get away with it,
- 2:07Speaker 1: nothing really happens. Oh no, oh no, last night we
- 2:12Speaker 1: got the news Baton Girl left around. Baton Girl found
- 2:16Speaker 1: out I love teach you that as well. But in
- 2:18Speaker 1: the meantime, let's get rid of some business extra find
- 2:20Speaker 1: a wicked radio live in the road this time. But
- 2:23Speaker 1: as always, the podcast. The audio podcast like a little
- 2:26Speaker 1: bit longer to post yesterday it was a little past
- 2:28Speaker 1: nine am Eastern time, but it's always there wherever you'd
- 2:31Speaker 1: like to get your podcasts. And then we're live here
- 2:32Speaker 1: for the live stream and all over the social media
- 2:35Speaker 1: stuff too with clips from the show. So we've got
- 2:37Speaker 1: that as well on x mainly right here, and then
- 2:39Speaker 1: on Facebook and YouTube and all that great stuff. But
- 2:42Speaker 1: in the meantime, let's talk about what's really important. Let's
- 2:44Speaker 1: talk about what's really going on. It's never it's never
- 2:48Speaker 1: too early to prep for Saint Patrick's Day. I get it.
- 2:51Speaker 1: It's not till Monday, I understand. There whatever, But there's
- 2:54Speaker 1: always a weekend attached to Saint Patrick's Day, which happens
- 2:58Speaker 1: to be the weekend this time around, heading into Monday. Now,
- 3:03Speaker 1: now that the actual day is coming after a weekend,
- 3:07Speaker 1: what do you think the productivity is gonna be leg
- 3:08Speaker 1: throw in America, corporate America on Monday. Probably not gonna
- 3:12Speaker 1: be strong, Probably not. And everybody is saying, I was
- 3:14Speaker 1: watching was it? I think might have been Fox Business yesterday?
- 3:18Speaker 1: Then I was reading it too on the Daily Mail
- 3:19Speaker 1: of all things, saying that for whatever reason, it is
- 3:23Speaker 1: consumer confidence maybe going up now that inflation's going down.
- 3:27Speaker 1: That was another big story this week, by the way,
- 3:29Speaker 1: And maybe maybe it's because egg prices are finally going down. Whatever,
- 3:33Speaker 1: More people than ever expected to spend a lot of
- 3:36Speaker 1: money this particular weekend on Saint Patrick's Day related activities.
- 3:40Speaker 1: My little prep sheets has some numbers for you here.
- 3:42Speaker 1: It says seventy six percent of us are gonna celebrate
- 3:44Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 1: The other twenty four percent they're lying. Forty eight percent
- 3:50Speaker 1: gonna wear green, okay, whatever, that's kind of goofy. Twenty
- 3:53Speaker 1: eight percent are gonna hit the bars. Twenty six percent
- 3:55Speaker 1: will eat Irish food. Oh, I never really got that one,
- 4:00Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's like not a culture
- 4:02Speaker 1: and I can say this because they have a lot
- 4:04Speaker 1: of Irish, not a culture known for its food and
- 4:07Speaker 1: its cuisine. I'll just say that much. By the way,
- 4:09Speaker 1: I'm the only person with a lot of Irish heritage
- 4:12Speaker 1: just does not like corn beef and cabbage. It's because
- 4:15Speaker 1: of the cabbage. I can't stand it. My mother would
- 4:18Speaker 1: make it all the time. It's not corn beef. I'm cool, whip.
- 4:22Speaker 1: That's great. Go to a deli gets some corn beef cabbage,
- 4:25Speaker 1: not me. Twenty three percent of gonna heavy boozy beverage. Yeah. Again,
- 4:29Speaker 1: this is one of those things where it's a lot
- 4:31Speaker 1: more than that. But regardless, it's a great American holiday.
- 4:34Speaker 1: It's a great well, I know it's a worldwide holiday,
- 4:36Speaker 1: but an American culture, American Irish culture. This is why
- 4:40Speaker 1: you say it's the last offensive holiday. It's not offensive.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I know, I agree, but it's called offensive. Just hear
- 4:48Speaker 1: me out. What other culture in American society would put
- 4:52Speaker 1: up with this and they have no problem whatsoever with it.
- 4:55Speaker 1: The main character involved in all the marketing is a little,
- 4:59Speaker 1: tiny little person, a leprechaun. You try to chase him
- 5:01Speaker 1: around and steal his gold. Right. The main activity is
- 5:04Speaker 1: based around drinking and all the Irish lore pretty much
- 5:07Speaker 1: called drunks throughout society. Fair reputation. I'll give you them
- 5:11Speaker 1: a lot of fighting, right. You see all the videos
- 5:14Speaker 1: that we'll see Monday and Tuesday and all next week
- 5:16Speaker 1: about all this stuff going on in the St. Patrick's
- 5:18Speaker 1: Day parade in Boston, New York, Chicago and all over
- 5:23Speaker 1: the place. Fair, fair enough. This is why that needs
- 5:27Speaker 1: to be protected in exactly how we celebrated, because nobody
- 5:31Speaker 1: gets offended by it. Nobody, I don't think as any
- 5:34Speaker 1: other cultures, whether it's Italian or maybe some Arab American
- 5:39Speaker 1: culture or somebody else, indiot that would really put up
- 5:43Speaker 1: with what the Irish put up with and how this
- 5:44Speaker 1: whole thing is portrayed. But we don't mind. And it's great,
- 5:49Speaker 1: and it's great that everybody can pretend to be Irish
- 5:51Speaker 1: for at least one week end or a day. We
- 5:53Speaker 1: need to protect Saint Patrick's Day, so be careful. I
- 5:56Speaker 1: want to have a rare health tip for you too.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Now I come from a drinking family, so I'm gonna
- 5:59Speaker 1: throw this in there. If ever you're at a bar
- 6:02Speaker 1: and this would be going into like Tuesday or Wednesday,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I'd say after Saint Patrick's Day next week, if you're
- 6:08Speaker 1: at a bar and you get a draft beer and
- 6:10Speaker 1: it still has a hint of green in it, you know,
- 6:12Speaker 1: because some bars, like the Cheesy Ones, will put like
- 6:14Speaker 1: the green dye and which is stupid, in their taps.
- 6:18Speaker 1: If that's still going on into Tuesday and Wednesday, god forbid,
- 6:24Speaker 1: like Thursday of next week, immediately return the beer. Do
- 6:27Speaker 1: not drink it, because it means they don't clean their taps.
- 6:30Speaker 1: It's happened to me. That's my one hell tip for
- 6:32Speaker 1: you going into Saint Patrick's Day. But just be safe
- 6:34Speaker 1: as always, but enjoy it. It's a great time. It's
- 6:36Speaker 1: an awesome time. All right. Let's get to some stuff
- 6:39Speaker 1: you saw in the news. How about this? Oh no,
- 6:43Speaker 1: you saw this all over well if you watch CNN,
- 6:45Speaker 1: I don't know why you do, or MSNBC or the
- 6:47Speaker 1: mainstreams NBC and CBS and even Fox, it made a
- 6:51Speaker 1: big deal. It made a big deal about the protest
- 6:53Speaker 1: at Trump Tower yesterday not too far from where I
- 6:55Speaker 1: am right now. Didn't see any of it. I'm glad
- 6:58Speaker 1: my girls didn't want to go to Tiffany yesterday because
- 7:00Speaker 1: that's right next door to it. Pro Palestine protesters took
- 7:05Speaker 1: over occupied Trump Tower in the lobby yesterday. And this
- 7:08Speaker 1: was thing was this thing was promoted throughout the news
- 7:12Speaker 1: channels like it was the biggest thing that's ever happened.
- 7:14Speaker 1: And they're up and down doing interviews after the fact,
- 7:17Speaker 1: even after the arrests, and say that this was We've
- 7:19Speaker 1: made it, We've done it. I am here to tell
- 7:21Speaker 1: you this was. First of all, you can tell when
- 7:25Speaker 1: a so called protest is not organic whatsoever, and it
- 7:28Speaker 1: really means nothing when they're all wearing matching T shirts
- 7:32Speaker 1: and they all have pre printed signs, by the way,
- 7:35Speaker 1: pre printed, like held up on placards ready to go,
- 7:38Speaker 1: not the handwritten ones you see it normal protests or
- 7:41Speaker 1: peaceful ones. No, pre printed. They also had banners, and
- 7:45Speaker 1: it was organized. And here's the other thing funded by somebody.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Do we know who? No, we don't, not quite yet.
- 7:52Speaker 1: They'll get to the bottom of that someday. This thing
- 7:54Speaker 1: is first of all, they're gonna burn out because we're
- 7:57Speaker 1: only what a little over fifty days to the Trump administration,
- 8:01Speaker 1: and you've seen all of these protests popping up everywhere
- 8:04Speaker 1: and they're all claiming victory and they've made such an
- 8:06Speaker 1: impact in society and we need to collect And this
- 8:10Speaker 1: thing was mainly mainly they say about protecting Mahmud Khalil.
- 8:14Speaker 1: We talked about him yesterday. He's the Syrian guy who
- 8:18Speaker 1: Ice is trying to deport because he's the organizer of
- 8:22Speaker 1: all the anti Israel protests on American college campuses, mainly
- 8:25Speaker 1: based around Columbia University. But he was the organizer of it.
- 8:28Speaker 1: And by the way, why would you want to deport
- 8:30Speaker 1: this guy, Well, because he's also published on social media
- 8:36Speaker 1: journals and written articles about why we need to this
- 8:39Speaker 1: is the quote end Western civilization. That's about four or
- 8:44Speaker 1: five points right there, and justifying why you might want
- 8:46Speaker 1: to get somebody out of your country. But regardless, that
- 8:49Speaker 1: was the excuse why the pro Palestinian excuse me, pro Hamas,
- 8:53Speaker 1: because they were this is just a veiled thing. Protesters
- 8:56Speaker 1: made it inside Trump Tower yesterday. Didn't last too long.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I'll give you that. You want to get a good
- 9:02Speaker 1: sense for why this is not a big deal and
- 9:04Speaker 1: why really, despite the fact that this makes all of
- 9:06Speaker 1: the news channels while they try to push this on
- 9:08Speaker 1: you to try to create more fear in society, it
- 9:11Speaker 1: has next to no impact for that. Let's go to
- 9:15Speaker 1: the NYPD. This actually was on Fox yesterday after they
- 9:18Speaker 1: cleared all of this up. Listen to the cop I
- 9:21Speaker 1: love his response on this and how they explained how
- 9:23Speaker 1: this isn't a big deal, and how he's not going
- 9:25Speaker 1: to give any credit to the organized group. He's seen
- 9:27Speaker 1: him before and it took I think, what does he
- 9:29Speaker 1: say a couple of hours before they removed everybody from
- 9:32Speaker 1: Trump Tower, processed them and got them on their way.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I love this guy. This is Chief John Shell as
- 9:40Speaker 1: he's talking to Fox News yesterday. If he's not concerned
- 9:42Speaker 1: about it, I don't think we should be.
- 9:44Speaker 2: We well versed in the school, but I don't want
- 9:46Speaker 2: to give them any advertisement. We deal with them a fall.
- 9:48Speaker 2: We know it's they're what there am always if you will,
- 9:51Speaker 2: And again, I just can't stress enough that in two
- 9:55Speaker 2: hours we got this clear up.
- 9:56Speaker 1: I love this guy. He's like, yeah, I don't I
- 9:59Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. You know, it's not big deal.
- 10:01Speaker 1: You know. I think it was Martha McCallum. I think
- 10:03Speaker 1: she was the anchor at the time asking the questions,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and she's just doing her job and she's asking the question, Well,
- 10:07Speaker 1: you know who it is, are they funded and whoever?
- 10:10Speaker 1: And she tried that a few times. Every time Chief
- 10:12Speaker 1: Shell goes, yeah, we know where they are. I'm not
- 10:14Speaker 1: gonna give them any publicity. But it really wasn't that
- 10:16Speaker 1: big of a deal. And you know, a couple of
- 10:18Speaker 1: hours we cleared the whole thing up and it was
- 10:20Speaker 1: back to business as usual at Trump Tower. That's the
- 10:23Speaker 1: real story. That's why that guy's so great. It's not organic,
- 10:27Speaker 1: it's based on nothing. They're just performative theater kids who
- 10:32Speaker 1: in the middle of a was this Thursday afternoon yesterday
- 10:35Speaker 1: at Trump Tower, had nothing else better to do. And
- 10:37Speaker 1: now we pretty much know. I think we pretty much
- 10:41Speaker 1: know who's funding this kind of stuff of where it's
- 10:44Speaker 1: coming from, because it's actually publicized online and they are
- 10:47Speaker 1: all paid. They are paid protesters again with the matching
- 10:50Speaker 1: red shirts and the pre printed signs. That's when you
- 10:54Speaker 1: know this is nothingness based on nothing. They have more
- 10:59Speaker 1: protests too, though, by the way, this has popped up
- 11:00Speaker 1: a lot more so I'm trying to figure out exactly
- 11:02Speaker 1: what the platform is for all the protesters. So they've
- 11:05Speaker 1: got the these folks who under the guys are trying
- 11:07Speaker 1: to keep this mack Mood Khalil in the country yesterday
- 11:10Speaker 1: and they claim that they're they're pro Palestine. You know,
- 11:13Speaker 1: they're anti Israel, they're pro Hamas. That's that's the veiled
- 11:16Speaker 1: meeting behind this whole thing. And don't forget included in
- 11:18Speaker 1: all this and all these protests, they're still pushing the
- 11:21Speaker 1: don't stop I mean just stop oil thing. First of all,
- 11:25Speaker 1: you got to pick a cause, what exactly do you
- 11:28Speaker 1: stand for? What is it? And the just stop oil people?
- 11:33Speaker 1: Oh they're still around. Oh they're still vandalizing. This one
- 11:37Speaker 1: was in London yesterday. Do you see this one? It
- 11:39Speaker 1: was a Tesla something or other. I guess it was
- 11:41Speaker 1: a dealership. I don't know. But in the in the
- 11:43Speaker 1: lobby of the Tesla place, they have a big one
- 11:45Speaker 1: of those big robotic robots. Basically is what it is
- 11:49Speaker 1: that Tesla is also working on. Listen to these folks,
- 11:53Speaker 1: Listen to the cluelessness in this one. This is London
- 11:56Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon. As to just stop oil pro testers would
- 12:00Speaker 1: printed on their T shirts, walked in freely, by the way,
- 12:03Speaker 1: That's the thing I don't understand. They walked into the
- 12:05Speaker 1: Tesla place and they poured I wanted to get this right.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Liquid latex over the robot. I think thousands of dollars
- 12:14Speaker 1: in damage. Maybe they destroyed it. I don't know. The
- 12:16Speaker 1: amazing thing is like, how do they walk in freely
- 12:20Speaker 1: do this and then they have time to stick around
- 12:23Speaker 1: and there's a camera in their face where they explain
- 12:25Speaker 1: what they're doing. This is London yesterday. Here's the just
- 12:28Speaker 1: stop oil folks. Let's get a load of them from
- 12:31Speaker 1: postil fuel, fossil fuel companies and from power hungry billionaires.
- 12:38Speaker 1: The billionaire let the climate crisis cause global food destruction. Okay,
- 12:47Speaker 1: just stop oil. So that's apparently what these two vandals
- 12:51Speaker 1: were all about in London yesterday. So you protest and
- 12:55Speaker 1: you cause damage to the property of Tesla, which is
- 12:59Speaker 1: run by the guy that's made more electric vehicles, which
- 13:02Speaker 1: I thought you were in favor of. He's made more
- 13:05Speaker 1: of those than anybody else in the world. This is
- 13:07Speaker 1: the cluelessness you're dealing with. And this is why, honestly,
- 13:10Speaker 1: despite the fact that they always make the news, that
- 13:13Speaker 1: they always get a lot of publicity and attention, it's
- 13:16Speaker 1: it's based on nothing. There's nothing to it here, and
- 13:19Speaker 1: I honestly I truly feel now that all this stuff
- 13:22Speaker 1: is kicked up and everybody loves to cover it and
- 13:24Speaker 1: stick a camera in their face. Where fifty is fifty two?
- 13:27Speaker 1: How many days are we into the Trump administration? Fifty? Oh,
- 13:30Speaker 1: it's over fifty, right, They're already starting to burn out.
- 13:34Speaker 1: There's nothing pretty soon, pretty soon, unless god forbid, they
- 13:38Speaker 1: do something really extraordinarily stupid, and let's hope they don't.
- 13:42Speaker 1: They're going to burn out. And the cause is already
- 13:44Speaker 1: like getting just getting ignored by people because it's based
- 13:47Speaker 1: on nothing, because nobody who actually wants to hear them
- 13:50Speaker 1: out understands what they're for, right, like the far left loonies.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Let's try to figure out the platform. Now, all of
- 13:58Speaker 1: a sudden, there is there opposed to like the libs
- 14:03Speaker 1: of the sixties, you know, the actual peaceful protests, civil disobedience,
- 14:06Speaker 1: which everybody that's part of American culture. I understand that
- 14:09Speaker 1: these folks, all of them combined, like the people at
- 14:11Speaker 1: Trump Tower yesterday. Okay, so you're you're pro war, your
- 14:17Speaker 1: anti electric vehicle, now your pro censorship? What like? What
- 14:22Speaker 1: are you? This is why normal people like you and
- 14:24Speaker 1: me just don't pay attention to them anymore. All of
- 14:27Speaker 1: this stuff is just nothingness. Just ignore it because it's
- 14:30Speaker 1: basically having zero impact whatsoever. But the people, like the
- 14:33Speaker 1: people in England though, and I don't understand this at all.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I don't think what happened here? How do they walk
- 14:38Speaker 1: in so freely and cause destruction? I don't know, like
- 14:42Speaker 1: why I'm not advocating advocating violence, but why aren't they tackled?
- 14:46Speaker 1: Why do they still have enough time to actually do
- 14:48Speaker 1: a little mini interview after the fact after doing that
- 14:51Speaker 1: much damage? Why does that Maybe that's an Maybe that's
- 14:53Speaker 1: a European thing. I don't know who knows that he knows,
- 14:58Speaker 1: But that's my point is, don't even worry about that stuff.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Even though it was all over the news yesterday. This
- 15:03Speaker 1: was in the news as well. That's right, we talked
- 15:05Speaker 1: about it too. But it's great news now and a
- 15:08Speaker 1: great update. So we all know baton girl, right, huge
- 15:12Speaker 1: viral sensation now because if she's such an idiot, but
- 15:16Speaker 1: she's called baton girl. We're talking about a Laila Everett,
- 15:20Speaker 1: the Virginia runner. I know, you know we're talking about
- 15:23Speaker 1: We talked about it too. We've all seen the video
- 15:25Speaker 1: of her running at the competition last weekend, and she
- 15:28Speaker 1: had the baton, so it was a relay race, and
- 15:30Speaker 1: the runner to her right and a little ahead of her,
- 15:32Speaker 1: she cracks her over the head and the poor I
- 15:35Speaker 1: don't mean to laugh, but the poor girl who got
- 15:37Speaker 1: cracked in the head stumbles, trips, falls into the infield
- 15:40Speaker 1: and she got a concussion. Well, as we all know,
- 15:44Speaker 1: immediately the day after that happened Monday, this girl a Laila,
- 15:50Speaker 1: the baton attacker, goes before there it is again another
- 15:53Speaker 1: camera and explains that I'm the victim here. Well, I
- 15:57Speaker 1: know that you're hurt, but it's really all about me,
- 16:00Speaker 1: just for just for a little refresher here she is.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Everybody has feelings, so you're basically hurt, but you're not
- 16:09Speaker 2: thinking of my mental right. There go off of one
- 16:12Speaker 2: angle a couple of times, hitting her mother's high got
- 16:16Speaker 2: stuck by a.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Couple of things from that too, that I'm still it's
- 16:19Speaker 1: been like days. I'm still laughing at that. My mental
- 16:21Speaker 1: rights you don't understand, and the and that as many
- 16:24Speaker 1: times as I've seen and heard that clip, the that
- 16:28Speaker 1: the chirp you're heard there, that's not me, that's her.
- 16:30Speaker 1: It's like wherever she did that from her house like
- 16:32Speaker 1: the battery was running out in the fire. Everybody's laughing
- 16:37Speaker 1: at that, all right, So there she is and she
- 16:39Speaker 1: does that, and she goes on to say further on
- 16:41Speaker 1: in the explanation video that well, that's not what it was.
- 16:44Speaker 1: That's you're only going by one angle. What happened was
- 16:46Speaker 1: the baton got caught in her shirt and I was
- 16:49Speaker 1: lifting it up and it hurt her in the head.
- 16:51Speaker 1: It's only one angle. Oh oh see, there's a problem
- 16:54Speaker 1: here because more angles. She didn't she didn't know this
- 16:56Speaker 1: when she at the time. More angles came out and
- 16:58Speaker 1: they showed clear as day that she cracked her over
- 17:00Speaker 1: the head. Now, I said at the time, and I'll
- 17:02Speaker 1: stick by this because I always go to like the
- 17:05Speaker 1: parental aspect of this thing because I'm a I'm a
- 17:08Speaker 1: dad of two girls. They weren't sports kids. I have
- 17:11Speaker 1: like theater kids. Trust me, it's a different world. But
- 17:14Speaker 1: if something like this had happened to one of my daughters,
- 17:18Speaker 1: my first reaction I would have been mad like everybody else, obviously,
- 17:21Speaker 1: And then you care for your kid, right, any parent would.
- 17:25Speaker 1: But then you're like starting to think, well, I played sports,
- 17:27Speaker 1: I get it. You know, it's heat of the moment,
- 17:29Speaker 1: things like the fights on a court or a field
- 17:31Speaker 1: or stuff like that happens right until this is where
- 17:36Speaker 1: I would have turned it around, until she did that
- 17:39Speaker 1: interview and explained that she's really the victim. That's when,
- 17:42Speaker 1: as a dad, I would have been, oh, hell no, oh,
- 17:45Speaker 1: we're of course, we're of course, we're filing charges. So
- 17:50Speaker 1: to make you feel good going into the weekend for
- 17:52Speaker 1: a little bit of justice because maybe this, maybe this
- 17:55Speaker 1: story has been on your mind, maybe you're just hearing
- 17:56Speaker 1: about it now. Well, Virginia authority have now charged a
- 18:02Speaker 1: Laila Button girl with assault and battery. And I know,
- 18:06Speaker 1: I get it. It's only a misdemeanor charge. So what
- 18:10Speaker 1: doesn't it feel good that somebody that takes zero responsibility
- 18:15Speaker 1: is going to pay at least some kind of a
- 18:16Speaker 1: price on this just for a little bit. I don't
- 18:19Speaker 1: want her life ruined. You know what I really want honestly,
- 18:22Speaker 1: and I speak as a dad again, I want this
- 18:24Speaker 1: girl to have a chance to learn personal responsibility. That's
- 18:28Speaker 1: what I want, because trust me, nobody in her life
- 18:32Speaker 1: has taught her that, not her parents, not her teammates,
- 18:36Speaker 1: not her coach, not. Maybe she has an agent already.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I don't know. But somebody got to that girl and
- 18:43Speaker 1: they told her to do a video an interview immediately
- 18:46Speaker 1: the day after this incident happened. And you get ahead
- 18:49Speaker 1: of the story, you know, because we're all versed with
- 18:52Speaker 1: social media skills. Now you get ahead of the story
- 18:54Speaker 1: and you explain that you're really the victim. Oops, till
- 18:58Speaker 1: that second video came out and now she's facing charges.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Good job parents of the other girl, and good job Virginia.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I don't want her life ruined. I just want her
- 19:09Speaker 1: to take this as a life lessen I really do.
- 19:11Speaker 1: But it's weird. It's weird that that's a feel good story,
- 19:14Speaker 1: but it is for me. I don't know. Maybe that
- 19:16Speaker 1: says a lot about me. It's Saint Patti's Day, Okay,
- 19:19Speaker 1: not till Monday, I get it. Whatever, starting from right
