5-26: While We Honored Our Fallen Heroes, Media Pushed More Divide. · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I hope you had a long, awesome holiday weekend
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: full of fun and family and maybe fireworks and beaches
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and beer and barbecues and everything that our fallen heroes
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: gave us right to celebrate this freedom. We would know
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: what it is. It's a solemn holiday. You know, you
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: need to honor our veterans and thank them for that,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: but you enjoy your life too. Now, while you were
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: doing that, you know what your media was doing. You
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: know what they were doing. They were celebrating George Floyd.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'll show you that in a second, as well as
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the illegals in our country at ice facilities. That's what
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: they were doing. That's what the media did.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Usually, anytime we're past Memorial Day or any holiday, it
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: just kind of move on. We're on to the next thing, right,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: unless you're still on vacation, that would be great, but
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: usually you move on. But our media coverage in our
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: country was so egregiously disgusting this past weekend. I have
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. We have to to point out
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: so that they don't get away with this. The great
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: news is they're not getting away with it less unless
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: people trust them, believe them, watch them, listen to them
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and that's a great thing. And that's fantastic. And why
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: do I say the media? Why do I blame the media?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Why are they the target of my ire because it
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was politicians and you know, famous people doing this because
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: they don't have a platform. If it's not for the media,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: these problems are easily solved if they don't cover the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: people who I mean it hate this country. I honestly,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know how else to put it. We'll have
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: some example, but this is great news. And the takeaway
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: here is they have less and less credibility and that's great.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We're seeing right through it. Thanks for finding me. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. Even if you are still on vacation. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: hope you are get some better weather than what we've
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: had in the Northeast anyway, I just came from there.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks for finding the Wicked Radio a lot Wicked Radio,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Wicked Radio live stream and replay on x and YouTube
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and Facebook, and the audio podcast too. Let's get to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the first one. This is this is so good because
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it sums up everything we're talking about. CBS is deface
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the nation their Sunday news topic show, and of course
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: because on Memorial Day weekend they have to talk to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a couple of veterans, right, you'd think they honor for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: their service and they talk about the sacrifices that they
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and their families made and they're falling in their stories. Nope,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan, boy, it should be a lot of fun
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: at parties. Huh. She turns it into what you're about
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to hear and see here this is a dark time
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in our country. Don't let that disturb you. Because the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: great thing was the two guests that she had on
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: face the nation, to face the nation, we like to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: call it, We're fantastic, two Medal of Honor heroes, Will Swinson,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: an army hero, and Commander Sergeant Major Matt Williams. They
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: were not having the garbage that she was throwing down.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And I get it. It comes from the news directors
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and the producers and the powers up on high and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: from CBS to tell them to do this kind of thing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But the great thing is listen to listen to how
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: preposterous her line of questioning is. It's Memorial Day. You've
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: got Medal of Honor heroes by your side, right to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: your right, and what does she bring up? What's the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: line of questioning this is a dark time in our country.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: But listen to their response and we'll jump around a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: little bit on this, we'll take it in pieces.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Coming up on this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the American experience, what specifically makes you optimistic? Because this
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: country at times can feel dark these days there's a
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: lot of darkness.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I mean that was within what ten to fifteen seconds
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of the question. She goes into the coming up on
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and she's talking to them,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you know, on memorially weekend, there's a lot of darkness.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Now here's the great thing. And I think the guy
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that takes it first is Will Swinson, Army hero. Listen
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to the response and again we'll jump around, but he's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: not having it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Feel optimistic.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Ultimately, because we're in Washington, DC and everything revolves around politics,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: we have to remember that politics aren't everything. American lives
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: continue on. Children are born, children go to school, lives
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: are achieved, dreams are achieved. This country is a great place.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It's not politics. It's not just what the newspit's coming
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: off of media. Ultimately, we continue forward as a country,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: continually imperfect continually evolving forward, always trying to achieve a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: more perfect union.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, that didn't go well with old Margaret there, she
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: didn't like that too much. So how do you follow
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that up? She continues with the darkness questions? Right, well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it's but but but but it's bad. But there's a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: lot of darkness. There are problems and a perfect answer.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And he even took a shot at the media in there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It's not just about politics and selected clips. Oh that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: was beautiful. That guy is Goh my god, he should
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: get a second Medal of Honor for that one. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: then later on in the interview, she's still pushing with
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the darkness, right, and this is when Commander Sergeant Major
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Matt Williams jumps in and he has an, I think
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: an even better answer. We're got to jump around to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the end of this thing. This is about a minute
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: forty in but this is even better.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I think that's what's important to remember.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Take politics aside out of this whole conversation.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Be grateful for what you've gotten, the opportunities that's provided
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: If you do that, I don't see how you can't
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: be optimistic about our future. Well, thank you, Thank you
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: both and thank you for your service.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I don't see how you can't be optimistic. Well, thank you.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: She must be. She's got to be a blasted parties,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't she. Hey, happy birthday. Well it's a dark time anyway.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But that's but that's a perfect example of what's going
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: on right now, these ridiculous, preposterous media organizations going over
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the top to try to bum everybody out, and instead
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of making it about our fallen heroes, it's about the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: darkness of the country, you know, hidden in there what
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the message is. It's all about Trump and their politics
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and all this other crap. Here's what's really happening now.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if you would have seen this
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, a couple of veteran heroes
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: not having it and pushing right back and talking about
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: all the greatness that we actually have. That's new. But
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it's not just on TV, right, it's not just in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the mainstream media. You hear that a lot these days,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: don't you. I do, maybe because my antenna is up
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for this kind of stuff, But I don't know, just
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a casual conversation people, but maybe you don't know. You
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: overhear different things when whoever this crap comes up. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hear way more pushback on this constant negative America bad narrative.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I hear it way more often I do, and I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: think that's a good thing. I really do. It's another
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: reason why there's the lowest level of trust and credibility
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: with our mainstream media than ever. And we're not going
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to stop until it's at zero because the more people
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: listen to that garbage from CBS, the more trouble we're in.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So forget that. But that wasn't the only thing. Let's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: go now to New Jersey. Mikey Cheryl is the socialist
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, excuse me, Democrat governor of New Jersey.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: How did she celebrate Memoriality weekend? While she went with
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: protesters to an ice facility and tried to get in,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: didn't get in, she was denied. It was fantastic. They
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: basically told her to gfy herself. But this is what
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it sounded like. Now, why again, is this a big deal?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Why does it even matter? Because it was covered by
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You're ready, I had to write this down of course
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: all the New Jersey and New York metro media sources,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: but also CBS News them again NBC, ABC, CNN had it,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: MS NOW had it all. Her little field trip to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the ice facility where she didn't get in, But that's okay,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: mission accomplished for her because she got all the media
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: coverage you wanted. And it sounded like this when they
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: didn't let her in. You'll hear the idiot protesters in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the back going let Cheryl in. Yeah. You know, you
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and I were visiting family and going to graduations and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: having barbecues and having beer and go to the beach
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and having no they were protesting ice facilities. You know, okay,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: right right? Making their jobs even tougher doesn't happen unless
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: she gets media coverage. And there it was, all the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: camera crews ready to go. They were all set. Because
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know how this works. The governor's office sends out
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: press releases to all of the media organizations, not just
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in the New York New Jersey metro area, but everybody
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: national news to made national news there. It is. This
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: is why blame the media. They don't have a platform
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: if they stop shining a spotlight on these absolute cretance,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the absolute disgusting of all the things she could have done,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: honoring our veterans, doing different things, laying a wreath anything, Nope,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you're outside an ice facility. There you go. That's what
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it is, but not as bad as what happened in Minneapolis.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So how did tubby tubby? Tim Tim Walls celebrate and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: honor our veterans for Memorial Day weekend? Take any guesses
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and he gets what's the timing? Also, what also happened
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to this six years ago?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't lay a wreath. You don't go to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a maybe even a VA hospital or honor veterans or
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: do a speech about veterans and our fallen heroes. No,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you don't do it or even you know, if you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: took it on a lighter note, you did Memorial Day
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like like party kind of things. Nope, you go to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: what George Floyd rally. If you're Tim Walls, it happened
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: sounded like this white guy, Oh there it is. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: forgot about that part because you have to disparage your
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: own race because white, all the white according to Tim Wallace,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to get votes, all the white people are bad, right,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: even though he's a he's an old white guy. Yeah,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of course he got to fit that into Yeah, that's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that's what he did. That that was his Memorial a weekend. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I made a couple of statements here. Hey, thanks,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: thank our vets, blah blah blah, you know, thank our fahnu.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: But the dancing and the speeches and the and the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: public appearances and the media coverage was at the George
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Floyd rally. That that's what was important to to him
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and them. But he's not as bad as the actual
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: mayor of Minneapolis. And you may have seen this. This
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: isn't media. This was a statement on social media, which
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: is still media because that's where we get the word
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: out right now, and I'm gonna read it exactly. This
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: is from Mayor Jacob Fry. Remember Jacob Fry. He was
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the guy that that cried in front of the George
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Floyd casket and he did all the things, and he,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you know, got all kinds of votes because of that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That that's him. That that's the the and the one
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that that has been most vocal of all the mayors,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the US mayors in the country that will not work
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and will obstruct ice operations. Yeah, that's him. Here is
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: his statement on Sunday on Memorial Day. You're ready and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to read it word for word, Mayor Jacob
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: fryed at Minneapolis, Minnesota today, we remember George Floyd, who
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: That moment changed our city forever. Well it changed your
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: career because that's what you ran on and that's what
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you still run on now. I will say, just for
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: transparency here, he did make a statement two hours later
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: about Memorial Day where this is about honoring our fallen
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But I have a question for
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you this and this is another piece of good news
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to push back in this kind of crap. There was
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: such a backlash and there was such a ratio on
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this post that he made on X about George Floyd
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and not our veterans. It was you know, they always
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: call it a ratio where it's like you get more
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: way more comments than any likes or anything, and you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: know they have community notes and people pushing back there,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and it was just inflammatory. Two hours later he did
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: say Veterans Memorial Day weekend is about honoring our fall
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: events and thank you for the service and other time.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I have a question for you if there wasn't such
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: pushback about his George Floyd post, which came first. Does
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he even make that Memorial Day post? Knowing his history?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I tend to think no. I tend to think not.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But who's to say. The main thing, and the main
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: takeaway is all of these clowns, all of these clowns
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that want to create all this division in our country,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of all things, of all holiday weekends, Memorial Day weekend,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: when we should be united. We should be united for
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a common cause. You can't for a You can't for
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a three day weekend. Put aside your divide, put aside
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: your political opportunities, and put aside your media opportunities to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: go outside a nice facility or the George Floyd rally
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: or posting things about George Floyd or trying to tell
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Medal of Honor heroes and recipients that this is a
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: dark time in our country. They can't, they can't put
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it aside for that up amount of time. They just
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: they can't do it. They don't have it in themselves.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: They can't. They can't. But again, here's the great thing.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The pushback is real on this, for real. The Jacob
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Fry post from Minneapolis blasted he didn't take it down.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's still up there, blasted universally condemned
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: by people in and out of Minnesota and Minneapolis itself.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: That's fantastic to see the pushback in actual media interviews
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like those two Medal of Honor heroes on Deface the Nation.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: The grilling that tubby tubby Tim Wallas is getting in
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Minnesota for going to what George Floyd rally and not
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: honoring veterans, that was fantastic too. All that, but there's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: another thing too. It's so clear. It's never been clearer
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and easier to see exactly who's rooting against you. Never
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: been clear. And yeah it used to be. It's like,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know where that guy feels. I don't know
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: where I don't really trust him. This guy who's the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: governor of that state, I don't really. There's no doubt
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: now when they honor people like George Floyd, not to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: get into the background of that whole thing and him
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and the illegals in that ice facility. Many of those people,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: many of those illegals, by the way, in that ice
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: facility because they are career criminals and were gang members
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: on our streets. That's what mikey Ryl in New Jersey
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was Actually that's what she was standing up for. When
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: people do that, it's never been easier to see who
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: hates you. It's not and I don't know how else
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to say it. Those people hate you, they hate your country,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: they hate you. They want to tear it apart. That's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: what it is. It's clear as day now. They're not
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: hiding it anymore because they don't know how to hide
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: it anymore, because everybody's aware of it. We all have
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: social media now, we're all the media. Now, we can
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: see all of it in real time. They can't hide
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and neither can the networks. Neither can an outlet like
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: CBS's deface the nation get away with doing that kind
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of thing. Because once again, kind of like the Jacob
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Fry post, the pushblock pushback on that thing has been unbelievable,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And that's great. Keep it up, all right. Like I said,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: usually after a holiday, we're kind of like done with
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the holiday and we move on. But it's the media's fault.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: They did this. We had to point them out and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it's a great thing, all right. Thanks for hanging out
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: with me. I appreciate you. Get into your work week,
