• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Remember a couple of days ago, we were all saying, Okay,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: yaconat you saying, what it looked like they had the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: votes to end the shutdown and that was gonna happen.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: And we all kind of like looked back and we said,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that past month, what was that for? What did we
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: get out of that besides political infighting and nonsense and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: lives disrupted and blah blah blah.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Well, hold on a second, now, maybe we did get
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: something out of it, because there's always a counter reaction, right,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We may we may have the first opportunity in a long,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: long time to fix the healthcare system, which is a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: long shot and it's probably not gonna happen now, but
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: it's gonna take everybody. This is one of those call
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to action podcasts, but it's true. For the first time
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in a long time, people are talking about fixing the horrific, ridiculous,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: funked up, stupid healthcare system we live under right now,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and it affects everybody.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. If you're looking for war,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: looking for the unifying effort, right.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The unifying message, something we can all agree on, this
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: might be the one because let me ask you this,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: do you know anybody in your life anybody that likes
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the healthcare system we live ono?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Do you know any because I'll tell you right now.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody, family, friends, employees, former employers, anybody
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: who likes the healthcare system we go on right now.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But here's the good news, and there's always good news.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: For the first time in a long time, you've got
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about changing this and they
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: may have the support for it, so we'll get into
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that as well. As speaking of the shutdown, We've got
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a story of a hero pilot. Maybe you saw this
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: video already, but what to do about a guy like this?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I say, thank him, a hero pilot that turned the shutdown,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: calmed his plane full of irate passengers down in a great,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: great way.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You got the video to talk about too, so thanks
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: for funding me. I appreciate you so much.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's midweek already Wicked Awesome Wednesday Wicked radio podcast and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the live stream right now, but lives on as a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: podcast after on the replay audio podcast downloads as well.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Let's get right to it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: First of all, a recap and update from a story
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we had on yesterday. Remember I had the story yesterday
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: about the BBC amazingly only last year fraudulently slandering President
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Trump the BBC in the UK with a selectively deceptively
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: edited video of January sixth, something that our US media
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: tried four years prior to that. But they tried it
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: last year before our election to try to upend our
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: election and so more division in our country. Remember, we said,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe he needs to sue the BBC, a foreign
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: media entity, like he did with successfully CBS and ABC
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: here for doing the same thing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Update last night I did an interview with Laura Ingram.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: By the way, more on that later because she kind
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of slammed him on some foreign workers. But anyway, this
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was the part where she asked him about the BBC.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It looks as though he's gonna go.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Latigit ensuing the BBC.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess I have to. You know, why not
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: because they defrauded the public and they've admitted it, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: their top echelon turn their own. This is within one
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: of our great allies. You know, this is supposedly a
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: great ally BBC if the government has a chunk of
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: that one, I guess. But uh, that's a pretty sad event.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: They actually changed my January sixth speech, which was a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: beautiful speech, which was a very calming speech, and of.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Course he went on it was a beautiful speech. He
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: was unbelievable. It was calming.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Nobody ever, nobody said, nobody's ever had a better speech
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in their life. Okay, But outside of the Trump isms,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he's right, and he kind of indicates more than he
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: has ever has that he's going to sue them too.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot more.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Uh hasn't announced it quite yet because I think it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: takes it's more involved than just suing ABC or NBC
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: or somebody over here.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But it looks as though he's going to do it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Could you look at this and say, well, that's kind
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of petty, that's vindictive. You're the president.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You should just overlook this kind of stuff as previous
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: president's Republican and Democrat had before.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Could you look at it that way and say always
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: just being kind of pay Sure you could, absolutely you could.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: But you could look at it another way too.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: If they did this to you and you had the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: means and the legal arm that he has and the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: legal power that he has, wouldn't you Because I am
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: here to tell you hand on heart, swear to God,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I would sue those people within you know, every power
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I have not to get back at them to make
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sure it doesn't happen to other people. You have to, ah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: not in big favor of like litigious, frivolous lawsuits.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody should be in favor of that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But this is really important to push back on them
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in his position, because if you don't, they're just.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Gonna keep getting away with it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't just like a media outlet that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: has a political take and they don't happen to like them.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That's good God, that's our media these days, right, That's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just the way it is. And they have a right
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to do so, actually, but to deceptively edit a video
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to try to lie about it, which, by the way,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: like our PBS, corporate and cor for public broadcasting is
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: taxpayer funded, so is THEIRS.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That's a government outlet. He has to sue them.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So call it whatever you want, vindictive, petty, childish me.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I kind of like that, and I think it serves
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: an important purpose. So they're gonna keep trying to do
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff unless you push back on him.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So that's the update there, And I think he actually
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: is so good. I was glad to hear him say that. Actually,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: all right, what did we get out of the shutdown? Frustration?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: A bunch of stress, and you know, it still amazes
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: me though I heard from a lot of you guys
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in the comments the end.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Of last week. If you weren't talking about it, or
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: if it wasn't in the news, I wouldn't even though
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: there was a shutdown. Well, great, good for you.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You're a you're a unicorn on this because everybody else
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that I know of, and me personally as was dealing
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: with it with travel and with trying to you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: government loans and paperwork.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And it affected me, I'll tell you that much. So
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: good for you if it didn't, but it affected most
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of this country, where they realize it or not. But
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: what did we get out of it?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Well, on the surface, it doesn't look like anything. But
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: here's the great news. It's starting to look like we
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: did get something very important out of it. The discussion,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and I mean a real discussion of getting rid of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: this ridiculous, asinine, defunct, fraudulent, blood sucking healthcare system we
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: live under right now. It's going to take a long,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: long time to fix this but for the first time
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in a long time, there are serious, serious discussions about
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: about what Obamacare does. And the most important part of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: this whole element is most people realizing exactly how the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: insurance companies have been benefiting on this.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The great Scott Jennings on CNN last night, he's kind
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of like they're punching dummy, except he always makes them
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: look like fools. He summarized it so well, did we
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: What was the biggest outcome of that government shutdown? Obamacare
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: got exposed to the country.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: What Obamacare has been exposed as a complete and utter failure.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: We all know it now, everybody admits it. The other
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: thing that came out is that Democrats are willing to
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: make people suffer. Yep, that we know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: But the first part what he said is was the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: most important thing you have just just keep your ear
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to the ground. What are people talking about these days?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: What do you hear with this discussion? I guarantee you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: at lunch at work tonight, at dinner out with friends,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: watching a ball game on Sunday, you hear people talking
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: about for the first time and understanding more about our
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: current healthcare system more than ever before, and for the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: first time. Ever, like I really mean ever, you've got wimpy,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: clueless Republicans who are starting to push back on this,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and even some Democrats who realize the jig is up.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: This is ridiculous, what's happening here now? They weren't the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: first to talk about it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: President Trump announced this, has been talking about this for
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a long time now, but in earnest for the past
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: This was from I think it was probably like three
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: four days ago.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I hope that we're going to be able to have
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a healthcare where Lindsay and I were discussing it, Jim
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: and I were discussing it, and Katie we discussed, we
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: want a healthcare system where we paid the money to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the people instead of the insurance companies. And I tell
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you we're going to be working on that very hard
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: over the next short period of time. Where the people
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Whether people get the money, yes, please.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: It gets confusing.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I venture to guess there's nothing more confusing than talking
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: about a healthcare system. And by the way, keep this
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: in mind, as always, as a smart consumer, they do
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that by design. It's never supposed to be this complicated,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: but regardless, just so I'm not talking out of my
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: ass here and try to understand it along with you.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Let's go to some details about what does he mean.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: What does he mean about the money going to the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: people's pocket instead of the subsidies going to people instead
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of the insurance companies who, by the way, Trump is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: called blood sucking before. That's where his strong language actually
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: plays a part and is actually helpful. All right, So
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: what he's talking about here, what some of the Republicans
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: more on them in a second, are talking about, they're
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: proposed saying redirecting billions in federal funds, and that I'm
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: reading off a compiled list of uh CHAT, GPT, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: GROC coming up with this to try to understand and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: encapsulate it for all of us, redirecting the billions and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: federal funds currently used for Obamacare ACA Affordable Care Act
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: premium subsidies paid directly to insurers right now, straight to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: individual Americans instead, and it would go to like a.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Like a like a like a health fund.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You'd have a you'd have a private like health fund,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: like you know, bankroll ready to go for that for
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that specific purpose. Now, the first part of it is
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: like shocking because most of us never even realize that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that was actually happening. You go to work, you go
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to school, you deal with it, you're sick, you have
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to pay a ridiculous uh copay whatever it is. The
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: subsidies that are in the system were going to not you,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: so you didn't really use it. It goes right to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the right to the insurance companies, whichever one you have,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: which right there sounds insane, and you're right because it
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: just is. That's the way it's been going. And this
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: is where Trump was right in calling these insurance companies bloodsuckers.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: So instead of the subsidies going to the insurance companies
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to lower premiums, which is what they were supposed to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: do and they haven't, the money would be deposited into
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: like a personal account like call it like a like
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a health savings account or something like that, or flexible
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: spending like that.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And this is the funny part. Now, if this.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Comes to pass, and again that they have a long
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: way to go. Of course, Trump's gonna call it trump Care,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that's the ego part of them. But you know, whatever
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Obama called it Obamacare, will you fine, if you fix
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: this system, call it whatever the hell you want.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The Democrats, for their part, are claiming that and this
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: part of it's true. So those the subsidy program is
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: supposed to end at the end of the year December
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: thirty first, and they're saying if that, if that ends,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: we don't have anything, you know, premiums. It just gonna skyrocket.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: You gotta leave people hanging out to dry. And okay,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: so we're under the gun. Good, this is time to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: while you're doing this, while you're looking at this broken system,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: time to come up with something to fix it. It
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: may wind up being at the end of the year,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the the end of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: next month, and may wind up being sticking with the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: same system maybe. But I'm telling you take this as
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: good news. And this is where you and me and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: everybody else come into play.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Put the pressure on. It's really true. It's you need
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to contact your.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Elected officials, government officials, your insurance company.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Make your voice heard, because your voice does matter. You're
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the media.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Now make them all understand that you're in favor of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: blowing up this ridiculous, gross, bloodsucking system because we can't
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: go on much further. Nobody likes their health insurance. I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: guarantee it. This is the the unifying issue in the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: nation right now.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Find it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Ask people, Find somebody that loves their insurance. Find some
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: amazing because I've looked, I've asked. I know a lot
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of people. I have employees, I have friends, I have family.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I'm an insurance provider myself. No one, no one likes
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: what we have now. All it did was making more
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: expensive and crappy for everybody. This could be the unifying
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: nation if we get the message out correctly. All right,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the message, here's the good sign. Here's how
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: they're starting to listen. For the first time in forever.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You've got wimpy, tone deaf Republicans starting to listen to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: this thing, and they're starting to take some action. Usually
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: they sit on their ass and they do nothing. I mean,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: we all know that they just don't do anything. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the Democrats want to keep the system going because it's.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Obamacare, their Lord and Savior has his name on it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: We can't change it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Well, here's an example, Tim Burchett. You got Tim Burchett
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: from Tennessee back home now and he's he's doing an interview,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and he's in his sweatshirt, he's geting ready, he's rolling
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: up his sleeves, getting ready down to the business.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: This is important. A guy like this ready to change
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: it and actually talking like this.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: It seems kind of crazy, but in the future, maybe
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: we ought to bring the patients and the doctors to
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: the table until the insurance companies they can go take
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: a fly on late because they've screwed this program up.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: The greed and the politician's agreed, who are getting funded
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: in their campaigns by them. That's what needs to happen, ma'am.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: And we've got plans out there that'll work, I believe
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: if we could just get them to the table. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: think we've had enough hearings. I think we need to
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: just start bringing stuff to the table and start voting
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm god. Is that refreshing.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Will he follow through on that? Will the rest of
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: them follow through on that?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I will tell you just researching it, there's a lot
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of support now for this because why I go back
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to it again, they're starting to listen to us. You
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: make enough noise in your district wherever you are, they
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: do start to listen and I'm telling you, they're starting
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to understand this is a unifying, very very popular issue,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: despite the fear, is to get rid of this stupid
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: healthcare system we have and do something that works and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: put the power in the hands of the consumer. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: want an individual healthcare account. I want a flexible spending
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: account where subsidies go to me and I can put
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: them towards something else. And why isn't it that way,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: subsidy not going to the consumer? Like, were you even
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: aware that was happening? This is why we're Trump you know.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Listen. Trump loves to.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Throw out insults and the strong language and the rotten
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and the petty stuff, and you can call it childish,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: but when he says something like blood sucking insurance companies,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it gets people to look at it and say, hmm,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: why is he calling insurance companies blood sucking. It's because
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of things like this, because they have done nothing but
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: make all of the you know, all of their you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: customers who are supposedly getting coverage in their system. They
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: know they're getting screwed. They know that they're not doing
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: their best for four people. They know that, and they've
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: done nothing because they're profiting by the billions every single year.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: This is where this has to change.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: So the first trickle of an idea to change this
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: thing and blow it up and to get to something
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: better at starting. I'm here to warn you it's gonna
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: probably take many years from now.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: But this is where it starts. So make your voices heard.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Here's another result of the shutdown. So this is starting.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: This was speaking of rotten and Petty.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So Pete Boodha judge, remember Pete, Remember pothole, Pete mayor
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: het who has strong aspirations to run for the next
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: presidential election like he's one of the he really is.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: He's one of their golden, golden guys. They want to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: run him. He took a bunch of shots this past week.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice, because you just don't
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: want to deal with him, a bunch of shots at
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the current administration for the air traffic controllers. And you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: they weren't getting paid and a lot of them weren't
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: going to work. Some of them were deferred payments and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: all that other stuff. This is something else that's different.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: So the current transportation By the way, as you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Pete was the previous Transportation secretary. The current trans Transportation
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Secretary Sean Duffy fired back.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Again, petty vindictive. I kind of like this because you tend,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you tend to get the truth about what these people
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: are all about.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: I thought this was discover pothole Peet's record, right. So
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: there are eighty five near misses Seawan and the Potomac
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: before the DCA aircrash. Pete did nothing. He spent eighty
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: billion dollars on DEI and on climate change. He lowered
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: the standards for training the FAA. He focused on pronouns
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: at the FA changing those things, but never worked to
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: fix the air traffic control system, didn't work on bringing
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: more air traffic controllers into the system. And so what
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: he's trying to do is rewrite his record because he
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: wants to run for president. But the truth is he
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: barely showed up at the DT. He was in Michigan
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: and other places, but he was no show Pete. And
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: now he wants to rewrite it, speak and run for president,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: and he's going after me and President Trump. We're not
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: going to take it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I like it, you know, and I know there's still
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: a lot there's still a lot of you weers saying like,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: oh enough with the name calling, would you just yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I prefer it. I don't know if it was first
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of all, stand up for yourself and point out the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: point out the inadequacies of the guy that had the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: position before, and you get to the real issue and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you find out what these people are all about.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, I'll take it and we all know.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And again I heard from a lot of you guys
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: last week, and the second I didn't even I wasn't
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: affected by the shutdown at all. Okay, well, you probably
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: didn't travel, You probably don't have an span that you're
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: waiting on, probably don't have another government thing, You're probably
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: not a federal worker. So there were a lot of
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: people affected, including travelers. Personally, in my life, I had
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: family members who were stuck in an airport over this weekend. Literally,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not lying to you, literally stuck traveling in two
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: different cases for two different people, twenty.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Four hours at a time. That literally happened.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Because of the flight delays and the problems and the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: stress and the backup flights.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: It was an absolute mess. I mean that happened in
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: my life. Personally, it happened, and people were pissed, and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: people were afraid and people were stressed out.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: In every one of these situations, somebody always steps out.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of like pilots or flight attendants,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you know, grabbing the grabbing the intercom microphone and making
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a show for themselves literally to a captive audience. But
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: here's an example where a Delta pilot in this video
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: is now going viral. As the kids say, of calming
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: his passengers down. I think the way he did it
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: was fantastic. Why Why did it work? Because he personalized
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: it me. I think this guy's a hero. And just
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to give you some reference and to give you some
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: background to this one, he decided to grab the intercom
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and to speak before his planeload of pissed off people
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: because they were, according to the flight attendants off the record,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: they were like ready to riot on this plane. They
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: were pissed, but not You could hear a pin drop
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: when he started speaking.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: This guy, this is how you do it.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I know we probably have quite a few nervous flyers today.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: It is perfectly understandable. I want to emphasize this aircraft
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: not move a single inch. Let's put my co Captain
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Michael and myself are absolutely certain it's safe to do,
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: so top that off. Before I left the house on
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: this trip, I learned the word ice cream and she
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: maybe make sure. I promised her to get her ice
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: cream when I get back home from the drip. That
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: being said, nothing and I mean absolutely nothing unsafe comes
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: up to pig me that little girl in her ice cream.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: I know you guys probably have some similar plans. Maybe
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: not tonight, but probably tomorrow afternoon with picking up, Please
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: feel free to join our wife find and take care
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: of picking out wish place. You guys are going to
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: get ice cream of coorse, you're your friends of the family.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: Text about what you guys do on the flight. It's
• 19:04

• 19:06
  Speaker 6: go flying. We'll get you guys up there safely. Again,
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Thanks so much for your health here in the party
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: process going on a way welcome work.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Why did that work?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Why did that calm a an irate plane full of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: people down? Because he personalized it and he said and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the message was we're gonna get there. Thank you for
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: your patience, but we're gonna get there, including me because
• 19:23

  Speaker 1: your experience better out there in the world, out there in.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: The wild, thank them.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I don't have a video of this, but I would
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: imagine the people exiting the plane when they finally got
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: home to get to the ice cream. I bet you
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: each and every one of them stopped by to say
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: thank you, because that's people like that.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Those are heroes.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: That guy's great and a tough situation made it better,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: all right. The takeaway this shutdown sucked. It did, and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it's almost officially over over, but there is a positive
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: takeaway from this whole thing. We may get something positive
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: out of this, but you gotta still fight and make
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: your voices heard, and up with that what we have
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: now these elected politicians are starting to listen to you.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Make your voices heard. You want a better system. So
