Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: This is gonna be one of those podcast episodes on
- 0:04Speaker 1: the stream where you're gonna you're gonna send all the
- 0:06Speaker 1: comments to me in the comments section or direct messages.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Why you're talking about sports so much? Sports isn't news?
- 0:13Speaker 2: Oh?
- 0:13Speaker 1: But it is because so much that happens in sports
- 0:16Speaker 1: is downstream from cult. Sure it happens all the time
- 0:20Speaker 1: and reflective of what's going on. So, yes, we're gonna
- 0:22Speaker 1: talk about the NFL's massive Super Bowl fumble with bad Bunny.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Now I hate this for a couple of different reasons,
- 0:29Speaker 1: but maybe you do too, I don't know. We'll talk
- 0:30Speaker 1: about that as well. And a little bit of the
- 0:32Speaker 1: Ryder Cup stuff. Did you happen to see that over
- 0:34Speaker 1: the weekend? That was interesting? But of course, the main
- 0:36Speaker 1: news stories that happened recently and over the weekend and
- 0:40Speaker 1: going back a couple of months are federal help for
- 0:42Speaker 1: cities and residents and cities that need the help that
- 0:45Speaker 1: are trapped there. And that's what I'm getting to today
- 0:48Speaker 1: is how you have to reframe that to your friends
- 0:50Speaker 1: when you're talking about this, because most people don't understand.
- 0:52Speaker 1: They're just listening to the other idiots on TV, or
- 0:55Speaker 1: they're just listening to their friends who say, why is Trump?
- 0:57Speaker 1: Why is Trump the dictator sitting in federal troops to Chicago,
- 1:01Speaker 1: DC and Portland? And if you reframe it like this,
- 1:05Speaker 1: it's a way better way to communicate this to them,
- 1:09Speaker 1: helping the residents that are trapped in those cities, because
- 1:12Speaker 1: that's starting to happen now. Anyway, we'll talk about all
- 1:14Speaker 1: that stuff. I hope he had a great weekend despite
- 1:16Speaker 1: all this. Thanks for finding the Wicked radio live stream
- 1:18Speaker 1: at pod wherever you like to get him. Let's get
- 1:20Speaker 1: right to it, all right, that's right. I'm kicking it
- 1:23Speaker 1: off with the NFL a massive, massive fumble for the
- 1:28Speaker 1: Super Bowl halftime announcement. It's bad, bunny. Don't feel bad
- 1:35Speaker 1: if you're saying right now who because in a very
- 1:38Speaker 1: unscientific survey, I just went on the main NFL website
- 1:43Speaker 1: comment section. I did it last night when this was announced.
- 1:45Speaker 1: In this morning, I went on Adam Schifter's as Shifter's
- 1:49Speaker 1: x account was probably the biggest NFL writer when he
- 1:51Speaker 1: announced it as well, that's when most people found out
- 1:53Speaker 1: who the entertainer is. Did it again this morning, I
- 1:56Speaker 1: mean scanning hundreds and hundreds of comments it's unsigned, tipic whatever.
- 2:01Speaker 1: The overwhelming response from most people responding to this is
- 2:06Speaker 1: who who is this? So don't feel bad if you
- 2:09Speaker 1: don't know who this is. It's a DJ entertainer Puerto Rican.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Most of his songs are in Spanish. That's not the issue,
- 2:17Speaker 1: that's not the thing. Here's the big issue with it.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Let me introduce you to bad Bunnies
- 2:26Speaker 1: political take. And this is why it drives me crazy
- 2:29Speaker 1: because the NFL, despite itself, cannot get out of the politics.
- 2:35Speaker 1: They can't do it. All of this was by design.
- 2:37Speaker 1: It just is. You have to understand if you know me,
- 2:39Speaker 1: if you've talked to me personally, or if you're listen
- 2:41Speaker 1: to me back in radio days or even on here,
- 2:43Speaker 1: you know my personal grind with Roger Goodell, the commissioner
- 2:47Speaker 1: of the NFL. He cannot stop screwing things up despite
- 2:51Speaker 1: the success of the league, like it's so popular, it's
- 2:55Speaker 1: so massively successful. He can't help but overcome all of
- 3:01Speaker 1: these mistakes that they make. And here's another one. Here's
- 3:03Speaker 1: another massive mistake. And this is by design. The controversy
- 3:08Speaker 1: already surrounding this thing. Now we most of us look
- 3:11Speaker 1: at sports it's ad a little escape, and it's supposed
- 3:13Speaker 1: to be unifying, it's supposed to be a great thing. No,
- 3:15Speaker 1: this is the commissioner that ushered in the black national
- 3:18Speaker 1: anthem along with the national anthem. That's devisive right there.
- 3:21Speaker 1: The kneeling. Remember they put up with two whole seasons
- 3:24Speaker 1: the kneeling during the national anthem? Remember that one. Yeah,
- 3:26Speaker 1: until finally the ratings took a dive, and then they
- 3:29Speaker 1: got all upset, and then all of a sudden, the
- 3:30Speaker 1: TV networks took the cameras off the kneeling players and
- 3:33Speaker 1: then that went away. Right, that did well. Now they've
- 3:36Speaker 1: stepped in it again. Bad Bunny the artist who refuses
- 3:41Speaker 1: to tour in the US because of the immigration crackdown. Basically,
- 3:47Speaker 1: what he's saying is because of Trump. Honestly, you haven't
- 3:50Speaker 1: heard this yet. Let me give you the interview where
- 3:53Speaker 1: he says it himself. Here you go, here's your twenty
- 3:55Speaker 1: twenty five season. It'll be February of twenty twenty six,
- 4:00Speaker 1: Super Bowl halftime performer in Santa Clara, California. Eh, wow,
- 4:04Speaker 1: how far we've come.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I'm never performing in the US again. I'm scared, scared
- 4:09Speaker 2: that eyes might raid the venue outside my show, and honestly,
- 4:13Speaker 2: I can risk the safety of my fans like that.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Mainland America just doesn't feel necessary to me anymore. I've
- 4:21Speaker 2: already performed there plenty of times, fans in the US
- 4:25Speaker 2: have had lots of chances to see me live. That
- 4:28Speaker 2: being said, I still care deeply about my Latino and
- 4:33Speaker 2: Puerto Rican fans leaving.
- 4:35Speaker 1: That's the part that gets me again. You know, it's
- 4:37Speaker 1: enough that I'm not gonna real I will not tour
- 4:39Speaker 1: in the US anymore because of these policies, but I'll
- 4:42Speaker 1: play the super Bowl and Santa Clara, California. You know
- 4:45Speaker 1: that's fine. That's fine. Here's the part that gets me though,
- 4:48Speaker 1: and you should always that should be the clip that
- 4:50Speaker 1: stands out to all of us. Mainland America isn't that
- 4:53Speaker 1: relevant to me anymore? Now? We want out to say
- 4:56Speaker 1: it's because I've played there plenty of times, But he
- 4:57Speaker 1: said it, Mainland America doesn't matter to me anymore. And
- 5:00Speaker 1: isn't that the same thing? Really? Truly, when you talk
- 5:02Speaker 1: about the NFL or any of the major TV networks
- 5:05Speaker 1: or all these politicians, it's like they care about the
- 5:07Speaker 1: big cities and big markets everybody else in the middle.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Then want your money, they want your ratings, they want
- 5:12Speaker 1: your viewing, they want all that. But he said it
- 5:14Speaker 1: Mainland America, regular Americans, he said, they don't really matter
- 5:17Speaker 1: to me anymore. Okay, here's a thing that really sucks,
- 5:21Speaker 1: and they've already seen this pop up online. Let's just
- 5:24Speaker 1: be let's just be realistic about this. Would be adults
- 5:26Speaker 1: in the room. I've already seen it started to crop up.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Boy caught the super Bowl halftime show, boycot the super Bowl.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You know, but listen, let me let me just tell
- 5:36Speaker 1: you now, I like the thought. That's not gonna work.
- 5:40Speaker 1: It's it's just not First of all, let's just talk
- 5:43Speaker 1: about their rating system. Okay, let's say that you're gonna
- 5:45Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be something. No, somebody is gonna
- 5:47Speaker 1: organize this and they'll put it online, organize a super
- 5:51Speaker 1: Bowl walk out at your super Bowl party this year.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Like when he goes on at halftime, walk out of
- 5:55Speaker 1: the room and refuse to watch, that still counts his
- 5:59Speaker 1: ratings because the TV is still on. Okay, that's just
- 6:02Speaker 1: it's not gonna work. I understand your sentiment, and I
- 6:04Speaker 1: totally understand that, right here's what will work. Play people
- 6:08Speaker 1: that video, especially specifically, and it'll get narrowed down and
- 6:11Speaker 1: people will edit it to that point where he says
- 6:13Speaker 1: Mainland America doesn't matter to me much anymore. That's what
- 6:17Speaker 1: works in the pushback. Will it change anything, like is
- 6:20Speaker 1: he going to be removed from the super Bowl halftime show? No? No,
- 6:23Speaker 1: we're far too way down the road in that one.
- 6:27Speaker 1: So once again the NFL has just toned deaf and
- 6:30Speaker 1: just let him know. Maybe. I don't know, maybe ratings
- 6:32Speaker 1: will be down. I doubt it, because you're talking about
- 6:34Speaker 1: such a massive force in entertainment, the NFL itself. The
- 6:39Speaker 1: super Bowl almost transcends news, sports, anything. It's just a
- 6:47Speaker 1: piece of American culture that we all want to love.
- 6:50Speaker 1: It's almost like fool proof, even against the mistakes they
- 6:55Speaker 1: even make, like they can't help themselves to be successful.
- 6:58Speaker 1: That's how much we love foot ball, college and the pros.
- 7:02Speaker 1: So I don't know if the I don't know if
- 7:04Speaker 1: the I don't know if the boycotts are really going
- 7:06Speaker 1: to work on this. But that will work actually when
- 7:08Speaker 1: people actually look into them and look at it and
- 7:10Speaker 1: have a little social experiment at work today or in
- 7:13Speaker 1: your friend's circle at launch anything, and just ask your friends,
- 7:16Speaker 1: did you before any of this, have you ever heard
- 7:18Speaker 1: the name bad Bunny? According to if the comments and
- 7:22Speaker 1: the reactions so far are anything close to accurate, most
- 7:24Speaker 1: people are gonna say, nah, I never, I had no
- 7:26Speaker 1: idea who this is. And then look a little bit
- 7:28Speaker 1: further about you know how he feels about things Mainland
- 7:31Speaker 1: America Just isn't that relevant to me anymore? That is boy,
- 7:34Speaker 1: that's something that is That's a whole different level of arrogance.
- 7:38Speaker 1: So the NFL politicized this. They did this to themselves.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Who else could have been a bit? It's amazing to
- 7:44Speaker 1: me too. I guess this is what caught my attention
- 7:46Speaker 1: at first while I was so upset. You could have
- 7:48Speaker 1: had any okay, uh, Zach Bryan, country Guy, Eric Church?
- 7:53Speaker 1: Who else is playing stadiums? Oh, I don't know, Metallica
- 7:56Speaker 1: could have had met But you can't. Oh they won't.
- 7:58Speaker 1: They absolutely for what what reason? I don't know what
- 8:01Speaker 1: it is. This isn't a black white thing, This isn't
- 8:03Speaker 1: a Latino white thing or any other writ This is
- 8:07Speaker 1: they The NFL is bound and determined never to have
- 8:10Speaker 1: a rock entertainer ever again at the super Bowl. And
- 8:13Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know what it is.
- 8:15Speaker 1: We're like, I think it's sixteen years in counting since
- 8:17Speaker 1: you had anything related to rock and roll at the
- 8:19Speaker 1: super Bowl. All right, their choice. You can always push back.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I mean, you know there was a pushback during the
- 8:25Speaker 1: NFL kneeling things, But this, I don't think any kind
- 8:27Speaker 1: of a super Bowl boycott is gonna is gonna help
- 8:31Speaker 1: until the ratings do dip, so we'll see. I still
- 8:34Speaker 1: can't get over that though Mainland America isn't important, isn't
- 8:38Speaker 1: relevant to me anymore? His direct quote, but he'll play
- 8:41Speaker 1: the super Bowl, won't tour the country, but he'll accept
- 8:44Speaker 1: the super Bowl invited. Just hypocrisy. Oh, by the way,
- 8:48Speaker 1: another NFL downfall. We had a tie last night, a
- 8:51Speaker 1: forty to forty tie between the Cowboys and the Packers.
- 8:54Speaker 1: What do you mean to tie? Anyway? It's good off
- 8:57Speaker 1: of sports. I could go all day on that. Maybe
- 8:59Speaker 1: I will at some point here. Let's talk about federal
- 9:02Speaker 1: help for trapped citizens. And I say it that way
- 9:05Speaker 1: because that's exactly how you have to frame this when
- 9:07Speaker 1: you're talking about this issue with your friends, Because most
- 9:10Speaker 1: people aren't that involved with it. They're trying to live
- 9:12Speaker 1: their lives like you and I are, and they're trying
- 9:13Speaker 1: to go to work, they're trying to go to school,
- 9:15Speaker 1: raise their kids, be good citizens. They hear little bits
- 9:18Speaker 1: here and there, mostly from a lying corporate mainstream media,
- 9:22Speaker 1: about federal troops going to first was DC, then Chicago,
- 9:28Speaker 1: might be going to Memphis, but they're definitely going to Portland.
- 9:30Speaker 1: They've got the full green light to send troops to Portland.
- 9:33Speaker 1: They You're going to have people in your life going,
- 9:34Speaker 1: why are they doing that? Man? Maybe Trump is a dictator.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Why is he federal troops in American city? Because that's
- 9:42Speaker 1: how it's framed. Frame it like this, Reframe it like this.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Federal troops helping saved trapped citizens in Portland, that's how
- 9:52Speaker 1: you reframed this. I think it trapped citizens, Yes, trapped
- 9:57Speaker 1: citizens because these cities, all the ones we just mentioned it,
- 10:00Speaker 1: many more throughout the country, all complete they have such
- 10:03Speaker 1: a lack of leadership, such week leadership. There are people
- 10:07Speaker 1: in those towns, in those cities that have been afraid
- 10:09Speaker 1: at night to come out of their apartments, to come
- 10:12Speaker 1: out of their homes because they're overrun by, you know,
- 10:17Speaker 1: pretend militant, anti fu scumbag, whatever it is. And they've
- 10:21Speaker 1: been afraid until now because they're starting to speak out.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Here's what's happening. Residents in these cities. Remember the DC thing.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Let's go back, like I think it was a few
- 10:31Speaker 1: weeks ago, maybe even a month ago. Remember this changed.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Remember the residents of DC started to come out and say,
- 10:37Speaker 1: I'm glad they're here. I want to thank you television camera,
- 10:40Speaker 1: independent reporter come. And they were going up to network
- 10:43Speaker 1: reporters on the streets of DC saying, talk to me.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I'm a resident that's been here. Now, I'm not afraid anymore.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to go to work or school anymore
- 10:51Speaker 1: because of these federal troops. Remember that started to happen
- 10:54Speaker 1: more and more and more in Washington, d C. Then
- 10:56Speaker 1: all of a sudden, what happened. Then all of a sudden,
- 10:59Speaker 1: the narrative changed. Uh oh, Then they couldn't report it anymore,
- 11:02Speaker 1: that people this entire city is against federal troops helping
- 11:05Speaker 1: them out. All of a sudden that changed. And then
- 11:07Speaker 1: they moved on to Chicago, and then Chicago residents started
- 11:10Speaker 1: are starting now to speak out too, and looking for
- 11:12Speaker 1: the federal help. So when you reframe that story to
- 11:15Speaker 1: anybody that doesn't understand it, and somebody that comes up
- 11:18Speaker 1: to you, or you know, you're just having a conversation
- 11:19Speaker 1: with somebody, this just maybe doesn't have all the facts
- 11:22Speaker 1: that you do. Why is true? Why is Trump sending
- 11:25Speaker 1: federal troops to cities? This is how you reframe it.
- 11:28Speaker 1: He's helping save trapped residents in those towns. That's what
- 11:33Speaker 1: they're doing. Why what kind of week leadership? We'll check
- 11:37Speaker 1: this out. Let's go to Portland for a second. Why
- 11:40Speaker 1: are citizens trapped there? Because the leadership is so bad.
- 11:43Speaker 1: The local police force has been so handcuffed. They retreat, retreat,
- 11:49Speaker 1: time and time and time again. Here's an example of that.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Here you go. Here's just yesterday Sunday afternoon, Portland police
- 11:57Speaker 1: officers fell to overrun. And I'm not taking shots at
- 12:01Speaker 1: them because they you know, they want to save their jobs.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Basically is what they want to do. And they've been
- 12:05Speaker 1: told by their leadership and their city they can't do
- 12:07Speaker 1: anything and they can't push back. This is why the
- 12:10Speaker 1: residents there need help. Watch them retreat and I'll post
- 12:13Speaker 1: this video for you. Watch them retreat to this. I'll
- 12:18Speaker 1: call it a mob. But watch the mob as well,
- 12:22Speaker 1: in their masks, in their you know, in their little signs,
- 12:25Speaker 1: and pushing back. The Portland police couldn't even stand up
- 12:30Speaker 1: to discords. Boy, is that a bad look. That's a
- 12:47Speaker 1: bad sound. And you audio listeners, I'm sorry, I'll describe
- 12:50Speaker 1: the scene to you. So Portland police officers in some
- 12:54Speaker 1: helmets and bicycles basically face that. I'll call it a mob,
- 12:58Speaker 1: but they just happened to be a group of people
- 13:01Speaker 1: pushing forward. They turned the little police bicycles around and
- 13:04Speaker 1: they left. Now, if you're a resident in that city,
- 13:06Speaker 1: how safe do you feel? How safe do you feel
- 13:09Speaker 1: at night to go out when you know the police
- 13:11Speaker 1: don't have the power or ability to stand up to
- 13:13Speaker 1: even that won't be little crowd. How safe are you?
- 13:17Speaker 1: You're not safe at all. This is why you reframe
- 13:20Speaker 1: it in the argument federal troops are helping saved trapped
- 13:24Speaker 1: residents in those cities. You put it that way, you
- 13:26Speaker 1: explain it to somebody all of a sudden, it's oh,
- 13:29Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know that was going on. Because
- 13:31Speaker 1: most people don't know that's going on. They're trapped, they're
- 13:33Speaker 1: trapped in these cities, but now they're starting to speak out.
- 13:36Speaker 1: It's go to Portland one more time. Here's a guy
- 13:37Speaker 1: that's starting to speak out for the first time ever.
- 13:39Speaker 1: This was caught by some independent reporter yesterday who felt
- 13:41Speaker 1: for the first time during one of these things to
- 13:43Speaker 1: come out. He lives near that ice facility in Portland.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Came out and he thanks the federal troops were coming
- 13:48Speaker 1: his way. Listen to this guy, and there'll be more
- 13:50Speaker 1: and more just like DC. So happy that Trumps sending
- 13:56Speaker 1: the National Guard in here. I've lived in the actually living.
- 14:01Speaker 1: We've been asking for help for months, and I'm finally
- 14:06Speaker 1: gonna get it. Think he's alone. How long has that
- 14:11Speaker 1: guy been? How long has that guy been hiding? Literally
- 14:14Speaker 1: hiding in his apartment. I think he had his wife
- 14:15Speaker 1: there but by his side as well. Couldn't come out
- 14:18Speaker 1: of his house asking for help. That's a trapped resident
- 14:21Speaker 1: in an American city that is getting zero help from
- 14:25Speaker 1: his police or elected leadership. Nothing doesn't feel it. Would
- 14:29Speaker 1: you feel safe? I wouldn't. The pushback is happening, and
- 14:33Speaker 1: nobody's calling for violence here. Nobody's calling for violent But
- 14:35Speaker 1: you can speak out again. Go back to the Washington
- 14:38Speaker 1: d C. Example, the whole narrative changed, all the news
- 14:41Speaker 1: coverage changed when Washington d C. Residents, like real people
- 14:45Speaker 1: started to speak out and say, yeah, hell yeah, I'm
- 14:47Speaker 1: glad they're here. I don't have to look over my
- 14:49Speaker 1: shoulder anymore walking home from work or school. That's when
- 14:52Speaker 1: that narrative changed in it very well may be changing
- 14:54Speaker 1: in Portland too. Here's another guy that showed up. Here's
- 14:56Speaker 1: another Portland resident went to the protest last night because
- 14:59Speaker 1: he saw I think background of the story is he
- 15:01Speaker 1: saw an independent reporter get attacked. That happens too mostly
- 15:04Speaker 1: at night. When them these little cretans come out with
- 15:06Speaker 1: their with their cosplay helmets in there and their masks
- 15:09Speaker 1: in there. You know they are actual whimps behind that.
- 15:12Speaker 1: But whatever, this guy came out and he said, I'm
- 15:14Speaker 1: not gonna mess with it now, it's relevant to the story.
- 15:16Speaker 1: The only reason why I'm talking about it. He's a
- 15:18Speaker 1: large fella, happens to be a black guy, and he's
- 15:20Speaker 1: carrying an American flag. Did any of these absolute whimps
- 15:23Speaker 1: mess with him? No, they did not. And nobody wants
- 15:27Speaker 1: to see anybody like pushback and get into trouble. But
- 15:29Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff that's gonna start happening.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Regular people have had enough. I've seen you on your
- 15:37Speaker 1: watching her life, and you were in yeah, and you
- 15:41Speaker 1: were a protector.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Ye.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Female. I came down here because of you, perfectly, he says,
- 15:47Speaker 1: because of you, because that was the independent reporter that
- 15:49Speaker 1: was there her. Uh, she got attacked in her and
- 15:51Speaker 1: her cameraman got attacked for covering what these little cretans
- 15:54Speaker 1: are doing. It's changing, guys, it's changing. You don't believe me. Okay,
- 15:58Speaker 1: let's go to Chicago. This was caught on video and
- 16:01Speaker 1: has made the rounds. I think it's actually gone viral
- 16:03Speaker 1: and it has like millions of hits now. Very interesting.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Just a street scene. It looks like an outdoor cafe
- 16:08Speaker 1: scene in Chicago, Illinois, another city where federal troops has
- 16:11Speaker 1: come to rescue trap residents in their cities. Just a
- 16:15Speaker 1: lunchtime situation and ice officers were walking by and the
- 16:21Speaker 1: residents starting caught on video and the residents start thanking them.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Listen to this interaction. Very interesting for you, work for you.
- 16:38Speaker 1: You guys are wonderful. Thank you. Was the audio there
- 16:41Speaker 1: and some of the some of the officers are saying back,
- 16:44Speaker 1: we're here for you. Once you start to heal from
- 16:47Speaker 1: the real residents, not these paid agitators, not the talking
- 16:51Speaker 1: idiots on the news, When you find out what's really
- 16:53Speaker 1: going on of these cities, it changes your complete perspective
- 16:57Speaker 1: on all of this stuff. So it's changing, guys. But again,
- 17:01Speaker 1: reframe this. If you're talking to somebody about this who
- 17:03Speaker 1: doesn't understand the story, because you do, you get it.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Reframe it to sending federal sending the Feds into cities. No, no, no, no, no,
- 17:11Speaker 1: that's not it. They're rescuing trapped Americans in those cities.
- 17:16Speaker 1: That's the reframe that changes the whole thing. Because you
- 17:18Speaker 1: hear that, you're like, oh, because Americans don't like to
- 17:21Speaker 1: see other Americans trapped. And that's what's exactly going on
- 17:23Speaker 1: right now. All right, I wrap this up with another
- 17:25Speaker 1: sports story. Believe it or not. Did you what did
- 17:27Speaker 1: you see this whole Ryder Cup thing. I'm not a
- 17:29Speaker 1: golf guy. I don't know, but I thought it wasn't interesting.
- 17:31Speaker 1: It was all kinds of controversy over it. First of all,
- 17:34Speaker 1: it was amplified because Trump showed up over the weekend.
- 17:36Speaker 1: I think it was Saturday to watch the golf things.
- 17:38Speaker 1: It was Team USA versus Team Europe and it's match
- 17:41Speaker 1: play golf and all this other crap. It was Beth
- 17:43Speaker 1: Page Long Island and the crowd, let's just say, god,
- 17:47Speaker 1: a little bit rowdy. There were a lot of hackling
- 17:50Speaker 1: of the Europeans. They were getting all upset. There was
- 17:53Speaker 1: little scuffles between the golfers. Well I say scuffles, but
- 17:56Speaker 1: a golf scuffle is kind of like, you know, angrily,
- 17:59Speaker 1: angrily worded phrases. It was just what it was. But
- 18:04Speaker 1: I'll say this, and this may surprise you. So the
- 18:06Speaker 1: Europeans wound up winning this thing. I guess even that
- 18:09Speaker 1: was controversial. But all weekend long they faced a lot
- 18:13Speaker 1: of heckling, a lot of heckling and giving them a
- 18:17Speaker 1: hard time and this and that. But they wound up
- 18:19Speaker 1: winning and they like they kind of shoved it back
- 18:21Speaker 1: in the face of the crowd. You know, I gotta
- 18:24Speaker 1: tell you, it was kind of admirable and I think
- 18:27Speaker 1: Europe needs more of that. Wouldn't it be amazing if
- 18:30Speaker 1: this was the spark that actually got Europe fired up
- 18:32Speaker 1: again because they've been You talk about residents of Portland
- 18:36Speaker 1: being trapped. Europeans have been trapped forever. So a little
- 18:39Speaker 1: bit of fight, even at the expense of my fellow Americans.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Not bad. I kind of respect that from the European golfers.
- 18:46Speaker 1: They showed some fight, and they showed some resilience and
- 18:48Speaker 1: mental toughness. Hasn't been a lot of that in Europe recently,
- 18:50Speaker 1: so good for them. And then they have this celebration
- 18:54Speaker 1: after their big win, and Rory McElroy is in the
- 18:57Speaker 1: front of the video here trolled President Trump directly with
- 19:02Speaker 1: this little video. Now watch this and I'll give you
- 19:05Speaker 1: Trump's response here in just a second. Believe it or not.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I kind of admire it. You Trump, Oh you want it? Ah?
- 19:19Speaker 1: Pretty interesting. Now what makes it even more interesting is
- 19:22Speaker 1: Trump responded to that video directly. In fact, he was
- 19:24Speaker 1: the one that reposted it on his truth social account.
- 19:29Speaker 1: All he did was right on there. Yes, I'm watching, congratulations.
- 19:34Speaker 1: It's pretty good. So I hope that's some kind of
- 19:36Speaker 1: a spark for europe to stand up for themselves, even
- 19:39Speaker 1: at the expensive Americans. But that's okay, whatever, All right,
- 19:42Speaker 1: here's your homework for today. This is what you got
- 19:44Speaker 1: to do with the bad bunny thing. Ask your friends
- 19:45Speaker 1: and family if they have any idea what bad Bunny
- 19:48Speaker 1: is all about. And then ask him, huh, well, what
- 19:51Speaker 1: do you think about him saying you won't tour the US,
- 19:53Speaker 1: but he'll play the super Bowl. Just ask him that.
- 19:56Speaker 1: And the more important issue is federal troops to American cities.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Is Trump a dictator? No? Those federal troops again, this
- 20:04Speaker 1: is how you reframe it. Those federal troops are helping
- 20:08Speaker 1: saved Americans trapped in those cities. That'll turn the whole
- 20:12Speaker 1: conversation around. All right, it's only Monday. Thanks for hanging
