Wicked Radio 6-19: We're Starting To Agree On The Iran Plan, Less Dye More Booze?, & Juneteenth For All · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: Well, we got a couple of big, big developments that
0:06
Speaker 1: I think will simplify, maybe oversimplify things as far as
0:09
Speaker 1: that Iran plan goes. And it's a gross over simplification,
0:13
Speaker 1: But have you ever gone a whole week without a good,
0:16
Speaker 1: gross over simplification Sometimes you need that. We're all starting
0:21
Speaker 1: to come together, starting to converge on an agreement on
0:24
Speaker 1: this Iran plan after what the President said yesterday. We'll
0:26
Speaker 1: go over that for a little bit too. But something
0:28
Speaker 1: very funky, big but funky, is going on with Bobby
0:33
Speaker 1: Kennedy's MAHA movement. You know, Health and Human Services massive
0:38
Speaker 1: announcement happened yesterday while all this other stuff was going
0:40
Speaker 1: out in the world about getting rid of poisonous foods
0:43
Speaker 1: at one of America's biggest retailers. And yet at the
0:46
Speaker 1: same time, from that same department, they're talking about more
0:49
Speaker 1: booze for everybody, not saying yay or nay either way,
0:53
Speaker 1: but they seem like two different messages from the same department,
0:56
Speaker 1: So it may be happening under his nose. I don't know.
1:00
Speaker 1: Teenth And if you don't really know what Juneteenth is
1:04
Speaker 1: all about, please don't feel bad. It seems to have
1:07
Speaker 1: come to everybody all at once. But the best explanation
1:10
Speaker 1: of this I've ever seen I'm gonna share with you,
1:12
Speaker 1: and why we should accept this for everybody and not
1:16
Speaker 1: make it exclusive. We'll get to all that stuff. But
1:18
Speaker 1: first of all, first and foremost ex of finding me Thursday,
1:22
Speaker 1: already Friday, Junior, love it. Ex to find it. The
1:24
Speaker 1: live stream, Wicked Radio livestream, we call it all part
1:26
Speaker 1: of Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams on the social media channels.
1:29
Speaker 1: And don't forget about the audio podcast too. Appreciate that
1:31
Speaker 1: as always, and the downloads there and you get that
1:34
Speaker 1: wherever you like to get your podcasts. So if you're
1:36
Speaker 1: watching this later on the live stream, are listening later, welcome.
1:39
Speaker 1: Just make sure you put follow notifications on all that
1:42
Speaker 1: good stuff. Let's get to it all, right, A couple
1:46
Speaker 1: of big developments for this Iran situation, and then we'll
1:48
Speaker 1: get into more domestic things after that. So this is
1:51
Speaker 1: why I say, I think we're all starting to come
1:53
Speaker 1: together on this Iran plan. How the country feels about
1:56
Speaker 1: it and all this consternation and all that, and I've
1:59
Speaker 1: heard it from friends and family and it's say, oh,
2:01
Speaker 1: it's tearing the country it's tearing President Trump's supporters apart.
2:05
Speaker 1: It's a can I offer this suggestion to you? Good? Now,
2:10
Speaker 1: when you're talking about war and of those international situations,
2:13
Speaker 1: don't you want a lot of debate going into this?
2:15
Speaker 1: Don't you want a lot of conversation? Isn't this what
2:18
Speaker 1: we all wanted was the information to have it all
2:20
Speaker 1: at our fingertips and then decide for ourselves. Because I
2:23
Speaker 1: do because the week we can have whatever it was
2:26
Speaker 1: where this thing really kicked up into a serious development,
2:30
Speaker 1: we all got a chance, I think, internally and with
2:33
Speaker 1: our social groups and on social media to try to
2:35
Speaker 1: decide how we feel about this for ourselves. To me,
2:39
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Now here's the oversimplification part. And
2:43
Speaker 1: I know that it's an oversimplification. I get it. But again,
2:46
Speaker 1: you ever gone a whole week without a good oversimplification.
2:49
Speaker 1: Sometimes it helps you understand things. I think, no matter
2:52
Speaker 1: what poll, you look at, who you talk to, who
2:55
Speaker 1: your friends are, whatever. In general, here's how it's breaking
2:59
Speaker 1: down as of this morning, almost everybody, almost everybody, and
3:04
Speaker 1: again look at any pole you want for people you
3:06
Speaker 1: talk to, almost everybody on earth, even Iranians against that
3:12
Speaker 1: regime or against that country having a nuclear weapon agreed Kapeche.
3:17
Speaker 1: Everybody wants that the disagreement happens and how you go
3:20
Speaker 1: about it. So most people, most Americans anyway, still feel
3:25
Speaker 1: that they want a RAN to take care of this
3:27
Speaker 1: themselves with our support. That's fine. Here's the interesting development
3:31
Speaker 1: as it's turning out here after the President's announcement, more
3:34
Speaker 1: and more Americans are saying, Okay, we'll take care of it.
3:37
Speaker 1: But again, just like with most people, almost all people
3:43
Speaker 1: don't want a RAN to have nukes. Almost everybody doesn't
3:47
Speaker 1: want any kind of a long term conflict. It's all
3:49
Speaker 1: common sense. That's how it's all breaking down, right. Want
3:51
Speaker 1: that's taken care of. We don't want to forever war.
3:55
Speaker 1: Preferably be great if a RAN took care of this
3:57
Speaker 1: for us, but if not, we're in the fight before
4:01
Speaker 1: the last stakeaway. Let's go to the President's announcement just yesterday.
4:04
Speaker 1: Here's where we are now, and here's the development battle
4:07
Speaker 1: plan has been approved. But the most important thing, and
4:10
Speaker 1: this is why I think most Americans are in agreement
4:13
Speaker 1: still still at this hour. Unless things change in listening
4:17
Speaker 1: or watching this later, there's still a chance for Iran
4:20
Speaker 1: to come to the table. According to the President name, Look,
4:22
Speaker 1: they should have made the deal. I had a great
4:24
Speaker 1: deal for them. They should have made that deal. Sixty
4:26
Speaker 1: days we talked about it, and in the end they
4:29
Speaker 1: decided not to do it. And now they wish they
4:31
Speaker 1: did it, and they want to meet, but it's it's
4:35
Speaker 1: a little late to meet, but they want to meet,
4:37
Speaker 1: and they want to come to the White House. I'll
4:38
Speaker 1: even come to the White House, so we'll see. I
4:40
Speaker 1: may do that. But it's a shame that wasn't could
4:44
Speaker 1: have been done. Easy went. But that's true. But that's
4:47
Speaker 1: a big factor in how most Americans anyway feel about
4:49
Speaker 1: this thing coming together. They said, okay, but what we
4:51
Speaker 1: don't want And this is the thing that was supposedly
4:53
Speaker 1: according to the media, that was splitting the Mega movement
4:56
Speaker 1: and the Trump supporters in half, which was bs anyway,
5:01
Speaker 1: because there really was no split. There was healthy debate,
5:04
Speaker 1: So don't buy that line of propaganda. What people were
5:08
Speaker 1: looking for, most common sense people was still giving Iran
5:11
Speaker 1: a chance to come to the table and take care
5:13
Speaker 1: of this themselves and do the right thing. Right. That's
5:15
Speaker 1: all we were looking for. Now that the President has
5:17
Speaker 1: confirmed that and saying, even at this late hour, they
5:19
Speaker 1: can come and negotiate and take care of this and
5:21
Speaker 1: do the right thing. Most people are like, okay, they
5:24
Speaker 1: had every chance. Most people anyway, even though the battle
5:27
Speaker 1: plan has been approved. Here's the other thing that is
5:32
Speaker 1: making everybody sort of come to an agreement again over simplification.
5:35
Speaker 1: I get it. But still, here's the other thing. A
5:39
Speaker 1: reminder that he said yesterday about his long standing position
5:44
Speaker 1: on this about Iran specifically and about Iran having nukes
5:47
Speaker 1: for years, decades, he said the exact same thing. He's
5:51
Speaker 1: been incredibly consistent. Even his critics have said, he's been
5:54
Speaker 1: incredibly consistent citizen Trump, media personality Trump, President Trump on
6:02
Speaker 1: the Iran position. Here was the reminder that came out
6:05
Speaker 1: yesterday that made everybody, mostly everybody, say, okay, well, this
6:08
Speaker 1: isn't some sort of a sudden change. What people were
6:10
Speaker 1: afraid of, maybe even me, was wait a minute, gets
6:13
Speaker 1: into the White House, all of a sudden, he wants
6:14
Speaker 1: to go war. No, that's not the case. He clarified
6:17
Speaker 1: that yesterday. This was a big statement, and he made it.
6:22
Speaker 1: You'll hear the construction and the buzz saws in the
6:24
Speaker 1: background as they were building the brand new American flag
6:27
Speaker 1: poles at the White House. Despite all that noise, an
6:30
Speaker 1: incredibly important thing, he said, And this is why people
6:33
Speaker 1: are starting to come to agreement. He's always had this position.
6:36
Speaker 1: This is no sudden change. But people in the base
6:38
Speaker 1: don't want a long term war. They're afraid that we're
6:40
Speaker 1: going to get into a long term. In a long
6:42
Speaker 1: term we're looking, Well, tell me I only want one thing.
6:45
Speaker 1: Iran cannot have a nuclear leper that I'm not looking
6:48
Speaker 1: long term structure. And I've been saying that for twenty years.
6:51
Speaker 1: I've been saying that there is a Savilian who got
6:53
Speaker 1: a lot of publicity. People would cover it very simply.
6:56
Speaker 1: Iran cannot have a nuclear level, sir. It's not a
6:59
Speaker 1: question of anything else. And if you did, you wouldn't
7:02
Speaker 1: have much of a country because they would use it
7:04
Speaker 1: on us, and we'll use it on other people and
7:06
Speaker 1: they'd be a terror all over the world. Okay, one
7:08
Speaker 1: more settled thing. That's no new position. Great reminder of
7:12
Speaker 1: that yesterday. Of all the things he said, even saying
7:14
Speaker 1: that Iran can still come to the table, that might
7:16
Speaker 1: have been the most important one for people understanding this.
7:19
Speaker 1: He's always said that this isn't Trump getting in for
7:22
Speaker 1: the second term, and he's like, oh, what do I care?
7:25
Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want. Now I get a
7:27
Speaker 1: bloom Miss smithereens No, he said this going as far
7:30
Speaker 1: back as the eighties and nineties. Boom, there you go.
7:33
Speaker 1: So that's no change. Now, another big reason why people
7:36
Speaker 1: are starting to come together on this. Here's the agreement.
7:38
Speaker 1: We all have to get a hold of it. Again.
7:41
Speaker 1: This may be completely different if you're listening to this
7:43
Speaker 1: later or watching this later. What let's hope, let's hope
7:49
Speaker 1: that they do come to the table and this is
7:51
Speaker 1: all taken care of without a shot fired, without a
7:54
Speaker 1: bomb drop, without anybody involved, right, that would be That
7:56
Speaker 1: would be incredible, by the way, that would be one
7:59
Speaker 1: of the most incredible negotiated deals of all time. Give
8:03
Speaker 1: them the Nobel Peace Prize, like right now, that would
8:05
Speaker 1: be amazing. Odds of that are decreasing by the day.
8:08
Speaker 1: But if that doesn't happen, and we're involved in this thing,
8:12
Speaker 1: and it looks as though now whether it's Israel domost
8:15
Speaker 1: of the heavy work or us, we are in it.
8:18
Speaker 1: Once you're in it, we all have to unite. We
8:22
Speaker 1: have to agree. I keep going back to this, if
8:25
Speaker 1: you've ever and I know a lot of you have,
8:27
Speaker 1: if you've ever taken any kind of a self defense
8:30
Speaker 1: class at all, no matter what style you're talking about,
8:34
Speaker 1: no instructor you're talking about, no matter what system, they
8:39
Speaker 1: will all tell you the same thing. Avoid a fight
8:44
Speaker 1: as much as you possibly can to stay out of that.
8:47
Speaker 1: But if you're in it, you have to fight like
8:52
Speaker 1: your life depends on it, and you have to win.
8:55
Speaker 1: There can be no loss once you've crossed that line.
8:58
Speaker 1: And really, even though that's on a personal level, well
9:00
Speaker 1: that's exactly how we all have to look at this.
9:02
Speaker 1: If we're in it, and if shit hits the fan,
9:06
Speaker 1: so to speak, we all have to support our interests
9:09
Speaker 1: in that no more of this divide crap we have
9:11
Speaker 1: to Is that gonna happen, Not completely. You're always gonna
9:15
Speaker 1: have the element that will protest everything, go against the Americans.
9:19
Speaker 1: There's a massive anti American element in this country. We
9:22
Speaker 1: all know that. We saw that last night. Did you
9:24
Speaker 1: see that the Iranian flags down Times Square? There were
9:28
Speaker 1: a couple of thousand people who somehow where do you
9:31
Speaker 1: buy an Iranian flag? Amazon? I don't know, marching pro
9:34
Speaker 1: Iranian you're always gonna have that element. But for the
9:38
Speaker 1: most people, people that matter, common sense, everyday, hard work
9:41
Speaker 1: in Americans. If we're in this thing one hundred percent,
9:45
Speaker 1: we have to be one hundred percent in right. Just
9:48
Speaker 1: remember that, remember the remember the fight lesson that that's
9:52
Speaker 1: that's what matters. All right, out of that for a second,
9:55
Speaker 1: because that may completely change by the time you're listening
9:57
Speaker 1: or watching this. Something funky is going on at the
10:02
Speaker 1: Health and Human Services Division. Yes, that would be Bobby
10:06
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior. Still, by the way, still a massive department,
10:11
Speaker 1: a massive agency, which may be key to our story here.
10:14
Speaker 1: First of all, let's get to the good news, and
10:15
Speaker 1: I'll get to the headline right now, because this is
10:18
Speaker 1: truly amazing and it really is life changing for most Americans. Basically,
10:24
Speaker 1: the headline is Walmart's getting a big glow up Walmart
10:27
Speaker 1: and Sam's Club. Now, I know you may not like Walmart,
10:30
Speaker 1: you make fun of it. I know that the website
10:31
Speaker 1: is out there people of Walmart, and it could be
10:34
Speaker 1: a dicey situation a lot of times. I get it,
10:37
Speaker 1: But Walmart is the food and retail source for most
10:42
Speaker 1: of this country. It just is. This is why this
10:45
Speaker 1: is such big news their member's mark line. This is
10:48
Speaker 1: the Walmart brand is cutting forty plus ingredients like aspartain,
10:55
Speaker 1: high fructose corn syrup, those artificial dies, the whole panel
11:00
Speaker 1: them which are gross and awful, sodium benzoate and BHT
11:05
Speaker 1: for cleaner, better food. People have spoken with this support
11:10
Speaker 1: and this is MAHA probably the biggest step they've taken
11:12
Speaker 1: in this entire thing, which is amazing. And I will
11:15
Speaker 1: tell you and I know that there's still that element
11:17
Speaker 1: there and a lot of people are saying it's like
11:19
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want my I don't want
11:21
Speaker 1: my government to be big sugar Daddy, not big sugar,
11:23
Speaker 1: but you know, determining what I eat and what I
11:25
Speaker 1: don't do. Usually I'm that way too, except for very
11:29
Speaker 1: few exceptions. One of the big factors where I personally
11:35
Speaker 1: want my government to step in and take care of
11:37
Speaker 1: things for me. And believe me, I am pro individual,
11:39
Speaker 1: I am pro freedom, I am pro choice. I am
11:42
Speaker 1: I want to make my own decisions. Right except for this,
11:46
Speaker 1: I eat pretty clean and I'm really trying to do
11:49
Speaker 1: the best I can with that. I really am, and
11:50
Speaker 1: I really do read a lot of ingredients. I'm sure
11:52
Speaker 1: you too. We're all trying to do the better. If
11:54
Speaker 1: you are in that boat as well, you know how
11:57
Speaker 1: hard that is. I have found it possible to take
12:01
Speaker 1: all the dies and the foods and the chemicals and
12:03
Speaker 1: the poisons out of the food I eatn consume. It's
12:07
Speaker 1: for me, it's almost too impossible because look what we're fighting,
12:10
Speaker 1: decades and decades of food companies that have put this
12:14
Speaker 1: crap in, this poison in our foods. We can't take
12:16
Speaker 1: that fight on ourselves. This is a situation. I'm anti
12:21
Speaker 1: big government too, I'm with you, but this is a
12:23
Speaker 1: situation where we need them to step in and make
12:25
Speaker 1: a move like this. And it is huge made Huger
12:28
Speaker 1: about Huger by the fact that it's Walmart in their products,
12:33
Speaker 1: which even though this isn't your lifestyle, maybe that's most
12:36
Speaker 1: of America right there. So whether we as a country
12:39
Speaker 1: like it or not, we're getting healthier. And this was big,
12:43
Speaker 1: This was really big. What's the takeaway? Tell you what?
12:48
Speaker 1: For the rest of us, even if you don't shop
12:49
Speaker 1: at Walmart, even just a year ago, year and a
12:53
Speaker 1: half ago, and I've gone through this myself just because
12:55
Speaker 1: of some food allergies in my own family, you would be,
12:59
Speaker 1: you would be. I've been scoffed, I've been laughed at,
13:02
Speaker 1: I've been made fun of. I've been you know from
13:05
Speaker 1: And these are from like restaurant employees when you ask
13:07
Speaker 1: for certain things, certain dietary restrictions, certain foods. You know
13:12
Speaker 1: what's changed with all this. You don't have to be
13:15
Speaker 1: afraid anymore of being somebody that actually is looking for
13:17
Speaker 1: healthier food. There is so much public discussion about this.
13:21
Speaker 1: You're not the freak anymore. So take this and empower
13:23
Speaker 1: yourself with it, even if you don't shop at Walmart.
13:27
Speaker 1: This whole idea of healthy eating and getting the cat
13:30
Speaker 1: and trying to eat cleaner, trying to eat better and
13:32
Speaker 1: trying to be healthier overall, it's cool now. Moves like
13:36
Speaker 1: this have made it cool, and you're not the freak anymore.
13:38
Speaker 1: So don't be afraid to be out in public. Don't
13:40
Speaker 1: be afraid to hide that anymore. That's the first takeaway.
13:44
Speaker 1: That's the first thing you can do. Now here's the
13:47
Speaker 1: funky thing going on with this very same department. Another
13:50
Speaker 1: massive headline has come out this morning you may or
13:52
Speaker 1: may not be aware of. Remember when I said health
13:55
Speaker 1: and human Services and R. Bobby Kennedy Junior is the secretary.
14:00
Speaker 1: They haven't exactly whittled that department down though you know
14:02
Speaker 1: a lot of them with those have gotten rid of
14:04
Speaker 1: a lot of like non necessary, non essential employees. I
14:07
Speaker 1: don't know if that's exactly hit HHS quite yet, because
14:10
Speaker 1: here's another headline for you which made me go, huh, well,
14:15
Speaker 1: that's really different. US government by that, they mean Health
14:18
Speaker 1: in Human Services, because this is the department to charge
14:21
Speaker 1: it in charge of these kinds of things, is updating
14:23
Speaker 1: its guidance on alcohol. Now when you see this headline,
14:27
Speaker 1: and I thought the first I thought the very same thing.
14:30
Speaker 1: At first, I thought, oh, they're restricting it. Now. They're
14:33
Speaker 1: gonna come out now and they're gonna say no alcohol
14:36
Speaker 1: is good, which people have known for years, because the
14:38
Speaker 1: guidance on alcohol, as we're about to find out, is
14:40
Speaker 1: determined by guess what the alcohol companies in the industry.
14:44
Speaker 1: Of course it is. Well read a little bit more
14:48
Speaker 1: into the headline and in the details, and lo and behold,
14:51
Speaker 1: look what they're getting rid of. They're nixing their recommendation
14:55
Speaker 1: to keeping yourself to one or two drinks per day,
14:58
Speaker 1: just saying oh, that's okay, you can drink a little
15:01
Speaker 1: bit more as long as it's in moderation. Hold on
15:06
Speaker 1: a minute, Hold on, time out. So you're telling me
15:12
Speaker 1: the department, headed up by Bobby Kennedy Junior, who was
15:16
Speaker 1: in recovery, a complete teetotaler now, who has come out
15:19
Speaker 1: before and spoken out against the dangers of alcohol. This
15:25
Speaker 1: is his opinion, not yours of mine, is somehow green
15:28
Speaker 1: lighting this plan to say it's okay just as long
15:31
Speaker 1: as it's in moderation. I don't know about that. I
15:35
Speaker 1: think this one slipped in under his nose because he's
15:37
Speaker 1: worried about the food stuff first. That's my take on this.
15:41
Speaker 1: And what remember back last week I think it was midweek,
15:44
Speaker 1: I had a story for you about gen Z kids
15:47
Speaker 1: in their twenties, early teens and early twenties and how
15:51
Speaker 1: they just don't drink. They don't drink at all. I mean,
15:54
Speaker 1: the drop off is incredible. The heaviest drinkers are boomers,
15:57
Speaker 1: and it goes gen X, then millennialills and it drops
16:01
Speaker 1: down like through the core of the earth for alcohol sales.
16:04
Speaker 1: With gen Z, they just don't do it. So huh,
16:06
Speaker 1: hold on, let me stop and think who would be
16:09
Speaker 1: most affected by this. Ah yeah, the alcohol industry. You
16:14
Speaker 1: think they had something to do with this new guideline
16:17
Speaker 1: that says you're gonna have more than a few drinks
16:19
Speaker 1: a day. Just you know, I'm making a moderation. It's
16:21
Speaker 1: the updated dietary guidelines for America will be released supposedly
16:25
Speaker 1: in the coming weeks, but with some changes are still
16:30
Speaker 1: on the table. They say, Okay, well, let's dig into
16:35
Speaker 1: this a little bit more Reuters. I know you can't
16:37
Speaker 1: really trust routers, but the story is everywhere. I'm just
16:39
Speaker 1: going with their example here. Let's go in a little
16:43
Speaker 1: bit more about who what brought this change on. Well,
16:48
Speaker 1: it could be released as early as next month, expected
16:50
Speaker 1: to include a brief statement encouraging Americans to drink in moderation,
16:53
Speaker 1: which is a big change because we've been told about
16:55
Speaker 1: the dangers of them for so long. Right, similar guidelines
16:59
Speaker 1: exist in other countries for sure. Right. They go on
17:01
Speaker 1: to say that we've all been we've all been exposed
17:04
Speaker 1: to the information about even moderate drinking health risks. Yeah yeah, okay,
17:08
Speaker 1: right right, uh closely watching influencer, Let's let's try to
17:12
Speaker 1: see who the main influence behind this possible change would
17:16
Speaker 1: be Let's see bottom of the story with Reuters. Ah,
17:20
Speaker 1: some alcohol executives says the article had feared a move
17:23
Speaker 1: towards higher recommendations on alcohol as the World Health Organization
17:27
Speaker 1: up their warnings. Oh wait, it gets better. Major industry
17:33
Speaker 1: players including Diagio, DG, dot L, and Anheiser Busch in
17:41
Speaker 1: BEV that's who owns Anheuser Busch and all those brands
17:44
Speaker 1: have lobby lawmakers throughout the review process. Okay, there you go.
17:50
Speaker 1: So the alcohol industry is determining the alcohol guidelines for
17:54
Speaker 1: health and human services. So far, Senate record show companies
17:58
Speaker 1: spent millions on lobbying a it's related to the guidelines. Share.
18:03
Speaker 1: Here's the bottom line, what we already said. Shares and
18:06
Speaker 1: alcohol companies rose shortly after the announcement, with both AB
18:11
Speaker 1: and BEV and Diaz, you know, Diagio's shares hitting an
18:15
Speaker 1: intra day high. You don't say so the same companies
18:22
Speaker 1: that were severely affected by the new crop of consumers
18:27
Speaker 1: not consuming their product at all. You mean to say
18:29
Speaker 1: that their lobbyists had an effect on this new policy
18:32
Speaker 1: which says you could drink more than one or two
18:35
Speaker 1: drinks a day. Just you know moderation will throw that
18:37
Speaker 1: word on there just in case, right, always look at
18:43
Speaker 1: who's behind any of these agencies changes. Now, maybe the
18:47
Speaker 1: most important part of the entire story was change is
18:50
Speaker 1: supposed to take effect in a few weeks. Maybe so
18:54
Speaker 1: we got this, We got this weird situation going on.
18:57
Speaker 1: You got Bobby Kennedy Junior cracking down on the poison
19:01
Speaker 1: in food and the food dies and getting through to
19:03
Speaker 1: a major retailer Today's news with Walmart and Sam's Club.
19:07
Speaker 1: And yet the same department is pushing this and letting
19:11
Speaker 1: the lobbyists from the alcohol industry determine this new change.
19:16
Speaker 1: I think. I think what's going on here is that
19:19
Speaker 1: they slip this under his nose, because that's still a
19:22
Speaker 1: massive department. He wasn't completely aware of it. I would
19:25
Speaker 1: be shocked if these guidelines take place and they let
19:28
Speaker 1: him do it. Absolutely amazing. Unless those lobbyists are even
19:32
Speaker 1: more important and more powerful than we ever thought. I
19:34
Speaker 1: don't know, but when it comes to a major policy
19:36
Speaker 1: change like this, always look to see who has put
19:40
Speaker 1: the money behind making the change. That's amazing. That absolutely
19:44
Speaker 1: amazing story last week about kids gen Z not drinking
19:48
Speaker 1: all of a sudden change in the drinking recommendations. Isn't
19:51
Speaker 1: that funny? That shouldn't shock anybody. All Right, we'll see
19:55
Speaker 1: what happens with that. Also, today you may have the
19:58
Speaker 1: day off because it is a aderal holiday. It is
20:01
Speaker 1: June teenth. If you still don't understand what June teenth is,
20:06
Speaker 1: please don't feel bad. I'm with you. It seemed to
20:09
Speaker 1: have come out of nowhere, even though it didn't hit
20:12
Speaker 1: a little background and the understanding of the entire thing
20:15
Speaker 1: for all of us. So here's the explanation of what
20:18
Speaker 1: it is June teenth. First of all, this is why
20:22
Speaker 1: you shouldn't feel bad. Sixty two percent of us know
20:25
Speaker 1: what Juneteenth is celebrating. That's a massive rise from last year,
20:30
Speaker 1: even because I remember that number. But that's also a
20:32
Speaker 1: massive part of the country that has no idea what
20:34
Speaker 1: the hell this is. And I think a big reason
20:36
Speaker 1: for that is the name. We're very much into labeling
20:39
Speaker 1: in our country, in our society, and the name is
20:41
Speaker 1: kind of goofy, you go to admit, even though the
20:43
Speaker 1: cause is very important. Congress made it a federal holiday
20:46
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty one. That wasn't that long ago.
20:49
Speaker 1: So if all of this seems so sudden, you don't
20:51
Speaker 1: understand what the hell. June teenth is completely understandable. Don't
20:55
Speaker 1: let yourself feel bad about it. It celebrates the end
20:58
Speaker 1: of slavery in the US, but it's the more about that.
21:01
Speaker 1: Here's the background of the situation, President lincolnsigned, as we
21:04
Speaker 1: all know the Emancipation Proclamation January first, eighteen sixty three.
21:09
Speaker 1: Texas is the main player here, Galveston, Texas. The slaves
21:13
Speaker 1: were not free. It took two and a half years
21:15
Speaker 1: later after that because the text talk about lobbyists. The
21:18
Speaker 1: Texas farmers wanted another couple of seasons to get in there.
21:23
Speaker 1: So on June nineteenth, it would be today, eighteen sixty five,
21:27
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty years ago today. The army came
21:30
Speaker 1: into town in Galveston and said, no, you're free, go home, leave,
21:34
Speaker 1: start your own farms. Whatever the hell it is over simplification. Now,
21:40
Speaker 1: it's new to a lot of people, but it's not
21:43
Speaker 1: a new concept, even though it's a new federal holiday.
21:47
Speaker 1: The best explanation I have ever heard from this thing,
21:50
Speaker 1: and I happened to just stumble on this in one
21:52
Speaker 1: of the social media channels. You know, the band the roots.
21:59
Speaker 1: They came with an incredible little explanation which I'm sure
22:02
Speaker 1: as a kid's video of this to try to explain it,
22:05
Speaker 1: and they put it to the tune of what we
22:06
Speaker 1: all used to watch with Schoolhouse Rock. You know, I'm
22:09
Speaker 1: just a Bill. They had that kind of music in
22:10
Speaker 1: the background. And listen to this video for this explanation.
22:13
Speaker 1: This is the best of all of it I have
22:15
Speaker 1: ever heard. It's a little long, it's totally worth Why
22:18
Speaker 1: weren't you free until eighteen sixty five? Well, it took
22:21
Speaker 1: two years for the Civil War to end. Oh so
22:23
Speaker 1: you were free when the war ended. Nah, not for
22:26
Speaker 1: two more months because Texas landowners wanted another harvest. That's
22:30
Speaker 1: not cool. None of it was cool. But an army
22:33
Speaker 1: ship arrived on June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five, and announced
22:36
Speaker 1: we were free. That's why we celebrate juneteen to the
22:41
Speaker 1: schoolhouse rock music. How perfect is that? I understand most
22:44
Speaker 1: of what I understand it civic government from Schoolhouse Rock.
22:46
Speaker 1: I think we all do. Remember I'm just a Bill. Absolutely.
22:49
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I know a lot of people, and
22:52
Speaker 1: I still think my theory is because of the name
22:54
Speaker 1: is kind of goofy. A lot of people are like, oh,
22:56
Speaker 1: I don't need that. Look, here's the takeaway. Take the
22:59
Speaker 1: FED holiday for what it is. And the other thing
23:02
Speaker 1: is like, like, you don't want another day off, you know,
23:05
Speaker 1: unless you're trying to like work with a bank, like
23:06
Speaker 1: I am, right now, that's a pain in the ass.
23:08
Speaker 1: I totally get it. But it's another holiday. I hear freedom,
23:12
Speaker 1: and I get excited because I'm for pro totally pro
23:16
Speaker 1: freedom for everybody. I think you are too. Most common
23:20
Speaker 1: sense people are why wouldn't we celebrate this just as
23:23
Speaker 1: much as any of our other federal holidays. We've got
23:27
Speaker 1: New Year's Day, We've got a Memorial Day, We've got
23:30
Speaker 1: Lincoln's birthday, President's Day. This to me totally worth it.
23:35
Speaker 1: Here's the thing to watch out for. You're also going
23:37
Speaker 1: to see this. There is a certain element in the
23:39
Speaker 1: country that's trying to say this is an exclusive blacks
23:43
Speaker 1: only holiday, it's exclusive African American only. Kind of like
23:48
Speaker 1: this another piece of audio I stumbled across today, and
23:51
Speaker 1: this is kind of like the PSA stuff that they
23:52
Speaker 1: try to get on educational program today is June teen.
23:56
Speaker 1: June teen. June teen is a uniquely African American holiday. No, stop,
24:01
Speaker 1: stop the presses, take the needle off the record player
24:04
Speaker 1: on that one. Once you make something at federal holiday,
24:07
Speaker 1: it's for everybody. And if you want to celebrate the
24:11
Speaker 1: end of slavery, you have to have everybody celebrating it.
24:14
Speaker 1: So this is a federal holiday now since twenty twenty one.
24:19
Speaker 1: This is not exclusive to anybody except Americans and freedom.
24:24
Speaker 1: I'm on board any bit of freedom. I think we
24:26
Speaker 1: should celebrate. That's my take on it. But I hope
24:29
Speaker 1: you get the day off for sure. All right, that's
24:30
Speaker 1: the takeaway. First one. Once we're fully in this and
24:35
Speaker 1: let's hope we're not in the Iran situation, we have
24:39
Speaker 1: to unite, no doubt about that. Absolutely. Second big takeaway,
24:43
Speaker 1: something you can do today, not feel bad about getting
24:46
Speaker 1: healthy when Maha getting rid of food poison makes its
24:51
Speaker 1: way to Walmart. You're not the freak for trying to
24:54
Speaker 1: read labels anymore. So take that to heart as well,
24:57
Speaker 1: and enjoy Juneteenth or whatever it is. I hope you
24:59
Speaker 1: do have the day off, all right. Thanks you for
