Wicked Radio 7-28: Cincy Mob Attack, EU Trade Deal, & Ichiro's Sweet Revenge · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:03
Speaker 1: Like every single day is a little bit of good,
0:04
Speaker 1: a little bit of bad. Actually the bad part is
0:06
Speaker 1: really bad in the news today, But like always a
0:09
Speaker 1: lot to unravel and make sense of the headlines today.
0:12
Speaker 1: But I think if there was a theme of today's headlines,
0:14
Speaker 1: what's going on in the news after the weekend. I
0:16
Speaker 1: keep coming back to this. Things are different. Things are
0:20
Speaker 1: just different, mostly in a good way. Now, how people
0:23
Speaker 1: respond to this and all think that revolves around one thing.
0:27
Speaker 1: Very few people rely on mainstream media these days. They
0:29
Speaker 1: rely on this what you're watching or listening to right now,
0:33
Speaker 1: your phone, your tablet, social media, laptop, whatever it is.
0:38
Speaker 1: That's what's made the difference. All right, let's get right
0:40
Speaker 1: to it. First of all, we're gonna talk about this.
0:43
Speaker 1: I can't start off with this. It's too horrific. But
0:45
Speaker 1: this Cincinnati Jazz festival mob beat down, an attack, which
0:51
Speaker 1: is exactly what it was, was so horrific. I really,
0:56
Speaker 1: I mean, this stuff would happen all the time. But
0:59
Speaker 1: the good and the bad of it is, if these
1:02
Speaker 1: cackling jackals who are responsible for this didn't whip out
1:05
Speaker 1: their cell phones and record it. Ironically, we wouldn't even
1:09
Speaker 1: know about the story because guess what mainstream media, especially
1:12
Speaker 1: in the town of in the market of Cincinnati, crickets
1:16
Speaker 1: media silence not even talking about it until now because
1:20
Speaker 1: of the national reaction. We'll get to that, obviously, but
1:23
Speaker 1: can't lead off with that. I just can't do it.
1:24
Speaker 1: But we've got a trade deal to talk about, apparently
1:27
Speaker 1: the biggest ever with the European Union. Now I'm like you,
1:31
Speaker 1: I don't really want to hear a bunch of numbers
1:32
Speaker 1: and trade deals. You know, we hear a bunch of
1:34
Speaker 1: numbers and I'm like, yeah, what does it mean to me?
1:36
Speaker 1: I'm the same way. But we'll get to that as well,
1:38
Speaker 1: because apparently means big, big things for you and me,
1:41
Speaker 1: especially in futures with agriculture. We'll talk about that as well.
1:45
Speaker 1: As Yes, we're talking baseball today too. I know it's
1:49
Speaker 1: not World Series time yet, we're past the All Star Game,
1:52
Speaker 1: but baseball had its Hall of Fame ceremony yesterday and
1:55
Speaker 1: one particular player, Ichiro Suzuki, got some sweet, sweet revenge
2:01
Speaker 1: in the best possible way. So we'll wrap it up
2:02
Speaker 1: with today with that one. A lot to talk about,
2:05
Speaker 1: but welcome back in for the weekend. I hope it's
2:06
Speaker 1: a great Monday already for you. Thanks for finding the
2:08
Speaker 1: Wicked Radio live stream, Thanks for finding Wicked Wisdom with
2:11
Speaker 1: Bill Adams, and all the social media channels including the
2:13
Speaker 1: audio podcast. So if you're listening now in the audio press,
2:16
Speaker 1: subscribe so you know when we're coming up. And let's
2:19
Speaker 1: get to it all right, Let's start out with this
2:21
Speaker 1: trade deal, not get bogged down in too many numbers
2:24
Speaker 1: on the exact same way, the exact same way you
2:26
Speaker 1: hit me with too many numbers at once. I'm like,
2:28
Speaker 1: good one to earn out the other. Most people are
2:32
Speaker 1: like that. But these particular numbers mean a lot. But
2:36
Speaker 1: let's try to figure out what it means to you
2:37
Speaker 1: and me. First of all, here was Trump, and I
2:39
Speaker 1: gotta tell you which Trump was sitting there after the
2:42
Speaker 1: signing with the European Union president, and he was he
2:46
Speaker 1: was meandering a lot with this deal. He was just
2:48
Speaker 1: I'm like, Trump, get to it. What does it mean?
2:50
Speaker 1: He finally did kind of sort of at the end.
2:52
Speaker 1: But the gist of it is this.
2:53
Speaker 2: Seven hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of energy, so
2:58
Speaker 2: that's gonna be great, and six hundred billion dollars worth
3:02
Speaker 2: of investments into the United States over and above what
3:06
Speaker 2: they have so and I think that basically concludes the deal.
3:09
Speaker 2: I mean, those are the main factors.
3:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's big, all right. Did you hear what
3:14
Speaker 1: he said there about energy? First of all, the energy
3:17
Speaker 1: investment is massive, meaning that they're going to have to
3:20
Speaker 1: buy a lot of our energy sources from US, which
3:22
Speaker 1: has never happened before. So that's huge. I think you
3:25
Speaker 1: know where I'm going. I'm thinking like investments. I'm no
3:28
Speaker 1: stock advisor, don't ever take financial advice from me, but
3:31
Speaker 1: that as well as futures in agriculture, our farmers, our
3:35
Speaker 1: food producers have never been able to open up the
3:38
Speaker 1: European market before. Looks like things are different this time.
3:41
Speaker 1: In fact, let's get to that. Here's Howard Lutnik. Howard,
3:45
Speaker 1: this guy's always entertaining. He's our commerce secretary talking about
3:48
Speaker 1: the tree.
3:48
Speaker 3: Seven hundred billion dollars a year, that's just that new
3:51
Speaker 3: money the government never had before. So you take that
3:54
Speaker 3: every year for ten years, that's seven trillion dollars. And
3:57
Speaker 3: then what they're not counting is the way the president
4:00
Speaker 3: is smashing open these markets. You got every market, right,
4:04
Speaker 3: Japan Indonesia, Vietnam, you name the deal he does, and
4:08
Speaker 3: he opens that market that's going to have export growth. Right,
4:12
Speaker 3: never before has our ag in our industrials actually had
4:15
Speaker 3: access to these markets.
4:17
Speaker 1: He's right about that a couple of different things. Yeah,
4:19
Speaker 1: our ag producers have never been able to open up
4:21
Speaker 1: those markets. So good news for them, for all of them,
4:23
Speaker 1: and you know workers as well. But there's also this
4:27
Speaker 1: that neither of them even talked about. So overall the
4:31
Speaker 1: length of the deal, Europeans are going to invest one
4:33
Speaker 1: point three five trillion dollars in the US. They're accepting
4:36
Speaker 1: a fifteen percent trade deal. And here I am talking
4:38
Speaker 1: about numbers like I promised I wouldn't. But still, what's
4:41
Speaker 1: it mean for us? How about our economy? This is
4:43
Speaker 1: what we care about, right, our housing prices, our food prices,
4:47
Speaker 1: our inflation, all of this stuff. Even in my little
4:50
Speaker 1: pea brain, this is what I understand. Everything starts with
4:53
Speaker 1: energy because if you cut down the energy prices, and
4:56
Speaker 1: if you're able to do that by opening up markets,
4:58
Speaker 1: it reduces the cost everything. And let's just say one
5:02
Speaker 1: more thing on this deal, because it was a nice
5:05
Speaker 1: Sunday bit of news to receive for all of us.
5:08
Speaker 1: Everybody that said these tariffs and the threat of tariffs
5:11
Speaker 1: wouldn't work. I mean, this is just a factual, black
5:15
Speaker 1: and white issue. Look at how many wins Trump has
5:18
Speaker 1: had in the economic deal. He's right about this. Look
5:22
Speaker 1: at every single one of them, and how Lutnik said
5:24
Speaker 1: it there too, including those Asian markets. Let's not forget
5:28
Speaker 1: this is also on the heels. The previous biggest trade
5:31
Speaker 1: deal was the one we just struck with Japan. Not
5:35
Speaker 1: a Republican or Democrat thing or black and white or
5:38
Speaker 1: red or blue or left or right, whatever the hell
5:41
Speaker 1: you want. To look at this trade deals with these
5:44
Speaker 1: other countries to make them fair. That's good for all
5:47
Speaker 1: of us. So sounds good to me, not even getting
5:50
Speaker 1: bogged down by the numbers. But if this reduced our
5:53
Speaker 1: energy costs, which in turn reduces housing costs down the
5:56
Speaker 1: road and inflation, yeah, yeah, it is a big deal.
5:58
Speaker 1: And I know has been able to disagree with this
6:01
Speaker 1: yet that it is the biggest trade deal in history.
6:03
Speaker 1: So thumbs up on that one. All right. Sorry, I
6:07
Speaker 1: know I promised I wouldn't get into numbers. My head
6:09
Speaker 1: hurts already too, so let's get out of that Unfortunately,
6:12
Speaker 1: what we have to talk about is number one trending
6:14
Speaker 1: story in the US right now, number one. Oh no, no, no, no,
6:18
Speaker 1: not in the not in the not on TV, nah,
6:20
Speaker 1: not on the mainstream media networks.
6:22
Speaker 2: Nah.
6:23
Speaker 1: Not even not even top story in the media market
6:26
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, Ohio, which is a media market it's pretty big. Nope,
6:30
Speaker 1: not even you know where it's trending number one. It's
6:32
Speaker 1: trending number one right now on your phone, on your tablet,
6:36
Speaker 1: on you on your laptop, on social media, because that's
6:41
Speaker 1: where information is disseminated these days. This is why the mainstream,
6:45
Speaker 1: traditional old school media is going away, and they still
6:49
Speaker 1: will not learn because of stories like this. And I'm
6:52
Speaker 1: talking about what is being called and even the ones
6:55
Speaker 1: that are covering it, like the New York Post, Let's
6:59
Speaker 1: go to them for a second. What was their description.
7:01
Speaker 1: Their description of it was the Cincinnati street brawl. What huh?
7:08
Speaker 1: What street brawl? This was a mob of cackling street
7:13
Speaker 1: urchins who tried to kill a couple. And yes it's
7:15
Speaker 1: relevant to the story, and yes I'm gonna talk about
7:18
Speaker 1: it because it's the truth. It was a black mob
7:22
Speaker 1: attacking a white couple. Is exactly what this was. That's
7:25
Speaker 1: the God's honest truth. And until we start to recognize
7:27
Speaker 1: these kinds of things, no matter what it is, a
7:30
Speaker 1: racially motivated attack is a racially motivated attack, no matter
7:34
Speaker 1: who are the bad guys. And that's exactly what happened.
7:37
Speaker 1: Fac to the story. The Cincinnati Jazz Festival, not just
7:42
Speaker 1: traditional jazz artists. It was more like contemporary you know
7:44
Speaker 1: artists that were there, big crowd. Apparently, well, there was
7:47
Speaker 1: a white couple unidentified right now to protect their identity.
7:50
Speaker 1: They're fighting for their lives today because they were attacked
7:54
Speaker 1: for god knows what reason. They were attacked and beaten savagely.
7:57
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen the pictures. I don't want to
7:59
Speaker 1: play too much about it or describe their injuries, but
8:02
Speaker 1: it was one of the most disgusting things I've ever
8:04
Speaker 1: seen in my life. Just a quick little piece of
8:06
Speaker 1: sound on this thing, oh okay, and of course you
8:19
Speaker 1: got the cackling jackals, and of course the gutless rejects
8:25
Speaker 1: who had to film this thing with their phones instead
8:27
Speaker 1: of jumping in and helping. But ironically, and here's the
8:30
Speaker 1: real irony of this, we wouldn't even know about this
8:33
Speaker 1: story unless they had whipped out their phones and started
8:36
Speaker 1: recording this and posting it to whatever the hell platform
8:38
Speaker 1: they posted this on. I don't know, uh TikTok, Instagram,
8:43
Speaker 1: maybe even Facebook, World Star, I don't know. I have
8:45
Speaker 1: no idea, but it's out there and now it's like wildfire,
8:48
Speaker 1: and now this one is not coming back now. Even
8:51
Speaker 1: in a horrific story like this, I always try to
8:53
Speaker 1: like make sense of all the new, you know what
8:55
Speaker 1: I do. We take the headlines and we try to
8:57
Speaker 1: look at what's great about this. It's kind of tough
8:59
Speaker 1: to look a story like this mob attack, racially motivated
9:05
Speaker 1: mob attack in a in a city of Cincinnati. It's
9:08
Speaker 1: hard to look at this and try to weed through
9:10
Speaker 1: it and look at the look at the silver lining
9:12
Speaker 1: in the clouds, to find anything that's good about this.
9:15
Speaker 1: But like anything, if you train your mind to look
9:18
Speaker 1: at this stuff, there is not at the incident. It's
9:21
Speaker 1: the reaction to the incident, because, like I said, things
9:24
Speaker 1: are different this time. Despite the media silence, there was
9:28
Speaker 1: no there was no mainstream media, mainstream national media attention
9:32
Speaker 1: on this whatsoever, like none yet none even in the
9:35
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, in their media market. You think television
9:38
Speaker 1: talked about You think there's six o'clock news talked about this. Nope,
9:42
Speaker 1: they started to There were eleven o'clocks last night. I
9:44
Speaker 1: kind of monitored this in that city to see what
9:46
Speaker 1: was going on. They had to because of the social
9:49
Speaker 1: media reaction. This is a number one trending story in
9:51
Speaker 1: the US, not despite this ridiculous, corrupt, fraudulent news media
9:58
Speaker 1: we have these days, because we're pretty much dusting them
10:01
Speaker 1: off to the side. Here's just another example of it.
10:03
Speaker 1: People looking at TV let's call it TV news, remember
10:06
Speaker 1: like we used to watch, Yeah, that's dead. It's dead
10:08
Speaker 1: because of examples like this. They're not telling you the truth.
10:11
Speaker 1: It's completely biased and they're gutless, and they're afraid to
10:14
Speaker 1: tell it like it is. How is it? What is
10:16
Speaker 1: the truth? It's a racially motivated mob attack on this
10:20
Speaker 1: white couple. I'm sure you've seen the video. You're watching
10:23
Speaker 1: me on your cell phone right now. The next thing
10:26
Speaker 1: it'll pop up on next probably is another angle of
10:29
Speaker 1: this attack. And apparently now it wasn't just this couple.
10:31
Speaker 1: There was a third victim later on down down the road,
10:34
Speaker 1: after the street festival, after the jazz festival, somebody else
10:37
Speaker 1: was beaten to within an inch of his life. Now
10:39
Speaker 1: you've got the still shot of the wife, middle aged,
10:43
Speaker 1: just white lady on the ground, eyes open, bleeding from
10:47
Speaker 1: her head. Yeah, this is what happened. From all accounts,
10:51
Speaker 1: it looked like nineteen to twenty absolute disgusting street urchins
10:56
Speaker 1: attacking and beating this couple. That's about right. And here's
11:00
Speaker 1: the other thing. Here's what you're gonna see today, and
11:02
Speaker 1: it's already started. It's like clockwork, like on schedule. Here's
11:06
Speaker 1: where you're gonna see. Here's where you're gonna read. Here'll
11:08
Speaker 1: be the reaction. The apologists for this kind of behavior. Somebody,
11:13
Speaker 1: and it's actually already happened, will come out and tell
11:16
Speaker 1: you that the white couple started it. Uh, somebody will
11:20
Speaker 1: have There's already a grainy zoomed in angle of the
11:24
Speaker 1: guy of the husband throwing a punch apparently, which is
11:27
Speaker 1: really flimsy, trying to apologize and justify what's estimated to
11:33
Speaker 1: be twenty, maybe over twenty people beating this middle aged
11:37
Speaker 1: couple to unconsciousness, bleeding in the street. And they're in
11:43
Speaker 1: the hospital, by the way, both of them. We don't
11:45
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna make it. We don't know, so
11:48
Speaker 1: the justification has already happened because somehow this is seen
11:51
Speaker 1: as okay. And you know who did that. The media
11:54
Speaker 1: did that. The media did that by refusing to cover
11:57
Speaker 1: these stories and telling you exactly what the truth is. Now,
12:00
Speaker 1: I promised you, despite how disgusting this is, horrifying, scary, chilling,
12:07
Speaker 1: things really are different this time around. How well you
12:11
Speaker 1: got some people now, a couple of different, very high
12:15
Speaker 1: profile people who are standing up for the truth these days.
12:20
Speaker 1: If you don't know the name har Meat Dylan, I
12:23
Speaker 1: think you should. She's the Assistant Attorney General in the
12:25
Speaker 1: Trump administration now, and she picked up on this story,
12:29
Speaker 1: and here's her statement on it. Our federal hate crime
12:33
Speaker 1: laws apply to all capitalized Americans. We at civil rights,
12:38
Speaker 1: and that's the department x handle will monitor closely how
12:43
Speaker 1: local authorities handle this attack. As she's referring to the
12:47
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati and their authorities. She goes on to say,
12:50
Speaker 1: nobody in our great nation should be the victim of
12:53
Speaker 1: such a crime. And where race is a motivation, federal
12:56
Speaker 1: laws may apply. That's what makes the difference. She mentioned
13:02
Speaker 1: everything right there not acceptable. Federal laws apply and she
13:06
Speaker 1: had the guts and the foresight to see if race
13:10
Speaker 1: was a motivating factor in this, and if you've seen
13:12
Speaker 1: the video, it's kind of tough to say it wasn't.
13:15
Speaker 1: Federal laws apply, and they're monitoring, most importantly, the Cincinnati
13:21
Speaker 1: officials handling of this situation, which means another slap on
13:25
Speaker 1: the wrist, no effort to go after these disgusting street urchins.
13:31
Speaker 1: That's not going to be tolerated. That's different this time.
13:35
Speaker 1: Now watch because if you've got somebody like her or
13:37
Speaker 1: somebody like Harmeet Dillon in a very high profile position,
13:40
Speaker 1: now watch action take place. Now they have to light
13:42
Speaker 1: a fire under their ass and go after these people
13:44
Speaker 1: because it's unacceptable. Here's the other thing that's changed, And
13:48
Speaker 1: you hope this doesn't go the other direction. You hope
13:52
Speaker 1: that this doesn't result in what is kind of like
13:55
Speaker 1: a natural human reaction because a lot of the comments,
13:57
Speaker 1: a lot of the reaction to this whole thing is like,
13:59
Speaker 1: you know, this is why impac and everywhere I go,
14:01
Speaker 1: or this is what I do, and that's a personal choice.
14:03
Speaker 1: I support and defend your gun rights. You hope violence
14:07
Speaker 1: isn't the answer to violence. You really don't accept in
14:09
Speaker 1: a situation where you have no choice and you have
14:11
Speaker 1: to defend yourself. Totally understandable. But the difference is putting
14:15
Speaker 1: on the pressure on these city officials, especially in a
14:20
Speaker 1: city like this, and yeah, you can call it a
14:22
Speaker 1: blue run city, soft on crime city, whatever is where
14:25
Speaker 1: this kind of crap is tolerated. Something changed with this story.
14:29
Speaker 1: It really did, and it's horrifying, and it's so sad
14:32
Speaker 1: that this couple has to go through what they went
14:35
Speaker 1: through for things to change. But I'm telling you, as
14:39
Speaker 1: I sit here today and my little barstool, it's changing.
14:45
Speaker 1: It just is. As I think this is one of
14:47
Speaker 1: those key moments where people have just had enough. They're
14:52
Speaker 1: just not tolerating this. And by that I mean not enough,
14:54
Speaker 1: I mean an attack on anybody, if it was any
14:59
Speaker 1: particular couple singled out because of what they are. And
15:03
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it'll happen all day long today, somebody somewhere.
15:07
Speaker 1: You'll see it on social media. You may run into
15:09
Speaker 1: somebody like this and your family or at work will
15:11
Speaker 1: tell you, well, it's because they started, and it's you know,
15:13
Speaker 1: they'll try to justify this. Don't buy it. And the
15:16
Speaker 1: good thing is most people. Almost all people aren't buying
15:19
Speaker 1: that anymore. Wrong is wrong, and as harmit. Dylan said
15:22
Speaker 1: right there, Assistant Attorney General, racially motivated attacks. Doesn't matter
15:27
Speaker 1: who did it, doesn't matter who. The bad guys are
15:29
Speaker 1: not tolerated anymore. But the most key thing that she
15:32
Speaker 1: said right there in her position of power, You bet
15:35
Speaker 1: your ass they're going to watch these Cincinnati officials to
15:39
Speaker 1: make sure this is prosecuted. They'll try. I'm sure they'll try.
15:43
Speaker 1: And I know some people in Cincinnati who say this
15:45
Speaker 1: happens all the time, it's a crime, is out of control.
15:47
Speaker 1: Because they slap on the wrist and they won't go
15:49
Speaker 1: after them. They'll probably try to tell you, well, we
15:53
Speaker 1: couldn't use facial ID, we couldn't identify anybody, We couldn't
15:56
Speaker 1: do this, we couldn't do that bullshit. The the potential
16:00
Speaker 1: is there to put people away for this, and don't
16:04
Speaker 1: buy the headlines like Cincinnati street brawl. No, this was
16:07
Speaker 1: attempted murder, and these charges when they do find these
16:11
Speaker 1: street urchins, should be nothing less than attempted murder charges
16:15
Speaker 1: because that's exactly what this was. You pray to God
16:18
Speaker 1: that this couple is gonna be Okay, in the hospital,
16:22
Speaker 1: you pray, and I'm sure they'll make a statement later
16:23
Speaker 1: on if they recover, but there should be nothing less
16:26
Speaker 1: than attempted murder charges from them. Now here's something else
16:31
Speaker 1: that changed. Politics do like in daily life, Politics always
16:35
Speaker 1: play a role in this whole thing. Now, this has
16:37
Speaker 1: the national attention. No thanks to mainstream news, because they're
16:41
Speaker 1: fricking useless. This is why nobody watches mainstream news anyway.
16:44
Speaker 1: But the public pressure and the trending story on this
16:46
Speaker 1: has gotten the attention of very, very prominent people, even
16:49
Speaker 1: outside of somebody like Assistant Attorney General Harmeat Dillon. Let's
16:53
Speaker 1: see Cincinnati, Ohio. Let me see if I can think
16:56
Speaker 1: of anybody who's pretty prominent, who has a massive MASSIV following,
17:00
Speaker 1: who might be interested in this story. Who's running for
17:03
Speaker 1: governor in Ohio? Oh yeah, vivek Ramaswami. You watch. I
17:09
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna happen yet, but I'm willing
17:11
Speaker 1: to bet a lot of money that it would. Vivek
17:13
Speaker 1: Ramaswami will make a statement about this. That's why I
17:16
Speaker 1: bet you. I bet you tomorrow at this time we'll
17:18
Speaker 1: be talking about his statement on the Cincinnati mob attack,
17:21
Speaker 1: the attempted murder because the guy's running for governor and
17:24
Speaker 1: he reads the tea leaves. Maybe you don't like him,
17:27
Speaker 1: but he reads the tea leaves and the pulse of
17:29
Speaker 1: the people that he's uh supposed to represent very very well.
17:36
Speaker 1: This story has gone completely gangbusters, and rightfully so to
17:41
Speaker 1: give it the attention it deserves and it should. No
17:43
Speaker 1: thanks to this stupid, useless traditional mainstream media we have
17:47
Speaker 1: because they're useless. They're absolutely gutless and they're useless, and
17:50
Speaker 1: that's how these kinds of incidents happen. But no more.
17:53
Speaker 1: This is why this is a turning point. Unfortunate for
17:55
Speaker 1: that couple, but there it is. But how about the irony,
17:58
Speaker 1: right you? Also? You had these not only the attackers
18:02
Speaker 1: who are disgusting, cackling jackals, but the people that refuse
18:07
Speaker 1: to step in and help. And all they did was
18:08
Speaker 1: sit back in their phones and record it. Ironically, we
18:11
Speaker 1: wouldn't know about the story unless they recorded it. So
18:14
Speaker 1: this time, this time, somehow, some way, justice will be
18:18
Speaker 1: served because people have that enough. So I know it's
18:22
Speaker 1: a stretch. I get it when things like this happen.
18:24
Speaker 1: Oh he's I could feel it. Already in the back
18:26
Speaker 1: of my head. Oh, he's going to try to make
18:28
Speaker 1: something positive out of this one. It'll take time. It'll
18:31
Speaker 1: take time, but something positive will come out of this
18:34
Speaker 1: No thanks to the stupid news media. All right, let's
18:37
Speaker 1: pray for that couple while we're at it, because God,
18:39
Speaker 1: that was horrific. Let's talk about something good the bit. Yes,
18:42
Speaker 1: I know, maybe you're not into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
18:44
Speaker 1: I understand, but this is more of a This is
18:47
Speaker 1: more a revenge story. People disagree with me, but I'm
18:51
Speaker 1: a big fan of revenge as long as it's positive revenge.
18:55
Speaker 1: In other words, it takes something that's been done to you,
18:58
Speaker 1: disrespect whatever, turn it into something positive in a good way.
19:02
Speaker 1: The best possible way to get revenges through humor, I think. Anyway,
19:06
Speaker 1: and one of the Hall of Fame inductees over the
19:09
Speaker 1: weekend Baseball Hall of Fame was Ichiro Suzuki. Unbelievable player
19:15
Speaker 1: played mostly for the Seattle Maritors throughout his career, but
19:17
Speaker 1: he played a long time too. He, by the way,
19:20
Speaker 1: goes into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He's the first
19:22
Speaker 1: Japanese born player to ever go into the Baseball Hall
19:25
Speaker 1: of Fame. Incredible player, over three thousand hits. He had
19:27
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty two hits in one season, which
19:30
Speaker 1: was a record as well. Just unbelievable player. And I
19:32
Speaker 1: will tell you, by the way, being a baseball fan
19:35
Speaker 1: live in person at a game, and I've been to
19:38
Speaker 1: a lot of baseball games, the fastest human being I
19:41
Speaker 1: have ever seen run from home to first. I was incredible.
19:44
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. Fastest I've ever seen. But regardless,
19:48
Speaker 1: great player goes in, he gets his due. Well, there
19:52
Speaker 1: was one, there was one sports writer. And this is
19:54
Speaker 1: how baseball still works despite all those accomplishments. Everybody with
19:59
Speaker 1: any common sense would to agree with you that this
20:01
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest players of all time. But
20:04
Speaker 1: here's how baseball does it. And until they get rid
20:06
Speaker 1: of this stupid system, things like this are still gonna happen.
20:09
Speaker 1: The Baseball Writers Association anonymously vote for who gets to
20:15
Speaker 1: go into the Hall of Fame anonymously, so they never
20:18
Speaker 1: stand by their votes. Right if you know the story
20:22
Speaker 1: When they did the voting for this particular class in
20:25
Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame a couple of years ago,
20:27
Speaker 1: Ichiro got almost unanimous first place votes to go in
20:32
Speaker 1: because he's an all time great. I say almost because
20:35
Speaker 1: that became the story. There was an anonymous baseball writer
20:40
Speaker 1: who left it's name off the ballot. First, what possible?
20:46
Speaker 1: Who the hell did not not only didn't you know,
20:50
Speaker 1: down voted him down further down to the ballot, left
20:53
Speaker 1: his name off the ballot, had some kind of personal grudge,
20:57
Speaker 1: had something for some God knows intentional reason. No one
21:00
Speaker 1: will ever figure out why, and we'll never get the
21:02
Speaker 1: name because they are anonymous, which is which is gross.
21:05
Speaker 1: He received three hundred and ninety two of three hundred
21:08
Speaker 1: and ninety three votes, just short of unanimity. So at
21:12
Speaker 1: the time Ichiro, they got to him and it became
21:15
Speaker 1: a laughing stock because it's like, who the hell? Who?
21:17
Speaker 2: What not?
21:18
Speaker 1: Who had a grudge against Ichiro Suzuki, a guy that also,
21:21
Speaker 1: by the way, besides his greatness on the field, he
21:24
Speaker 1: was famous for making statements like I believe the fans
21:27
Speaker 1: deserve my utmost attention and effort during the game, and
21:30
Speaker 1: to respect the game of baseball. You know that Japanese
21:32
Speaker 1: work ethic right? Just no, In other words, this is
21:35
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. Nobody doesn't love Ichiro Suzuki,
21:38
Speaker 1: I mean, except one ridiculous anonymous sports writer for some
21:42
Speaker 1: fricking reason. And it's not a mistake. It was obviously intentional.
21:45
Speaker 1: I don't know, and we still don't know who it is. Well,
21:47
Speaker 1: at the time, Ichiro made a statement and he said, uh, well,
21:52
Speaker 1: I'd like to invite that sports writer, whoever he is,
21:55
Speaker 1: to my home for dinner. We can talk things out,
21:58
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool, right, that was our right, right,
22:01
Speaker 1: But that wasn't real revenge. God is revenge. During his
22:04
Speaker 1: induction speech yesterday in Cooper's Down where he like, I say,
22:07
Speaker 1: positive revenge and the best way to get that is
22:09
Speaker 1: through humor. This was one of the best speeches of
22:12
Speaker 1: all time. And here's each three thousand hits or two
22:16
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two hits in one season, achievements recognized
22:20
Speaker 1: by the writers. Well, oh bad wombu, Oh, here we go,
22:27
Speaker 1: and everybody knew what he was talking about. For one
22:32
Speaker 1: rite out the Hall of fame. And by the way,
22:38
Speaker 1: the for that writer to have dinner at my home
22:41
Speaker 1: has now expired. Yeah, that guy's not going to go
22:48
Speaker 1: see each your at his house anytime soon. So that's
22:50
Speaker 1: how you hitdle, that kind of thing. I love it.
22:51
Speaker 1: Good for that guy, Good for the whole Hall of
22:53
Speaker 1: Fame class. That's that's good. Good for him. All Right,
22:56
Speaker 1: I'm out of here, I'm out of material. I talked
22:58
Speaker 1: too long. It took too much of your time. But
23:00
Speaker 1: remember that's what's the takeaway. Even a horrific story, you
23:02
Speaker 1: can't find more horrific stories like what happened with that
23:05
Speaker 1: Cincinnati mob attack is what it was. Don't believe the headlines.
23:09
Speaker 1: Wasn't a street brawl. It was an attempted murder attack.
23:12
Speaker 1: But remember, watch for things to be different this time.
23:15
Speaker 1: If there's any good news in this besides the fact,
23:17
Speaker 1: if we start to hear that the couple is going
23:19
Speaker 1: to be okay, that'll be the best news. But the
23:21
Speaker 1: second piece is they'll put the pressure on these city
23:25
Speaker 1: officials in Cincinnati, Ohio to go after these these Cretans
23:29
Speaker 1: that attack this couple. Watch for that to happen despite
23:32
Speaker 1: the useless news media. All right, despite that, it's Monday
23:35
Speaker 1: and you're already halfway through it. Good luck with that.
23:37
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow. In the meantime, have a
23:40
Speaker 1: wicked awesome Monday. Thanks you find the social media channels.
