• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll give us the numbers, but
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it looks as though when we look back at this
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: past Memorial Day weekend that we just wrapped up, it's
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: probably going to be even busier than they told us
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it was going to be. I think anyway, just judging
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: from personal experience, because man, it was busy, and it's great.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It's a great signed for the economy. Actually, I was
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: even linking going with the live stream because this is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the day where if you are going to work, things
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: start a little later, aren't they. Hmmm, good time to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: take vacation. But the great news is it's a four
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: day work week if you're still working a nine to five,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so that's all good. We'll talk about that as well. Hey,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: thanks for finding Wicked Radio livestream part of Wicked Wisdom
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: with Bill Adams all the social media platforms. Throw a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: like and share on there in. The audio podcast too,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: will be posted right after the show wherever you liked
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to get your podcasts. But thanks for being here as always.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it so much, and I hope you had
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a happy, safe Memorial Day weekend. We talked about it yesterday.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It's completely possible to balance the two. You know, you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice while still having
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a good time. That's what it's all about. But I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: think anyway, I don't know. I hope we see some
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: numbers on this because it was it was amazing. Okay,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the traffic was heavy, I get it. Maybe you're even
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: still caught in traffic now trying to get back into
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: your regular work life. Maybe, But it was busy. Gas
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: prices a little bit lower. Talked about that on Friday,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: travel was up. Food price is about steady. But one
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: thing is for sure, if that many people in the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: country were out and about spending for the first time
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in probably years, were a lot of people driving somewhere
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: at triple A always says fifty miles or more. If
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that many people are that confident about spending some coin
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: going somewhere for a little mini vacation or the start
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of a full vacation, it's a pretty good sign for
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the way things are going. Consumer confidence and so much
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of its psychological, isn't it. It's like you believe things
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: are going to get better, more willing to spend right
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: now because you know you got to make it up
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on the back end, So things seem to be turning around.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: All right. There's something that happened yesterday. I didn't get
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to because it was mostly about Memorial Day. But it
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: was a really sad loss. You know. I was never
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: We're a big fan of the Duck Dynasty show, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I watched it every once in a while, but it
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: was just one of those reality shows. It was just
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: fun and goofy, and you know, it was definitely kind
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of scripted whatever. But there's part of this that kind
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of made a big impact into American culture, you know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And then they were always called rednecks. Well they wore
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that proudly. And you know, Duck Dynasty was the Robertson family.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They actually you'd never know by the show, but there
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: were multi, multi multi millionaires because they made they had
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a company that made their little duck calls for duck
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: hunting right from Monroe, Louisiana. Family that's been around for years.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Well they've had that reality show. Duck Dynasty became a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: big hit and went on. We lost Phil Robertson, their
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: patriarch and their family. Over the weekend. The family announced
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it and I guess he was seventy nine. I think
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he had been badly. It might have been cancer. I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: not too sure. But here's how this show made it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: into popular cultures, so very early on in the first
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: administration for Trump, and then in the twenty twenty campaign,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and we know what happened there, and then all the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: way throughout the entire family, but mostly Phil Robertson. He
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was the older guy, you know, who was in his seventies.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I think he died at seventy nine. Yeah, he passed away.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: But he had been a big, big Trump supporter, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they all didn't They showed up at the rallies. In fact,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: here's one of the rallies. This one was when Trump
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: came to I think this is actually a twenty twenty
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but he had been to a lot of them when
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Trump campaign rolled into Louisiana. This is what he said.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I got it down to this, if you're pro God
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and pro America and pro gun and pro Duck Hutton,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that's all I want.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it. I bring
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that up because I don't know, after paying attention to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this for so long, I don't know if there was
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: any one particular and we'll call him a celebrity, Okay,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that's fine, whatever, just to simplify things. I don't know
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: if there was one celebrity endorsement in particular that got
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: mocked and has railed against by the left wing media
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: as much as the Duck dynasty folks, and Phil Robertson
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: specifically for endorsing Trump. And I remember at the time
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: when it started, because that's just when. Remember it took
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a while. If you recall back, it wasn't the first
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: campaign where you had a lot of where you had
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the kid rocks of the world, and you had the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you know, the very few, maybe like John Voyd considered
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: conservative entertainers. Whatever it was that didn't happen at first.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It did with this Robertson guy, Phil Robertson, he was
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: not afraid whatsoever and throwing his support behind you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the big bad Orange man as he was being painted
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at the time. He wasn't afraid of that. Once somebody
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: like him got into the water and others, then all
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of a sudden it became like less dangerous for celebrities
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to show up at rallies and tell you how they
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: feel about different things. But when he was first in there,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I remember it was specifically when it happened. How many shows?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I think it was Jake Tapper on CNN Emma's the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: View for sure, those those hacks on the on the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on the View making fun of that guy for what,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You tell me how he looks, how
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: he sounds, and throwing his support behind Trump. Remember early on,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: when Trump was running the first time, they were saying, oh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this is so, this is what Trump relates to, this
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is this is what he appeals to, you know, And
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: they're in a very passive, aggressive way trying to make
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: fun of Southern culture and make fun of what they
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: were calling rednecks at the time. And to do that,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: remember that really early on, and they took a lot
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of shots at that, and they didn't care and they
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: pushed through. It was the first time I ever really
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: truly thought this is years ago. Now, Wow, they don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: understand who the Trump base is. They really don't get it,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you know. And you hear the reaction to a Raley
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: like that, and that was many years ago. Now, Phil
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Robertson proudly standing up for Trump and what he believes in,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and other people said, yeah, yeah, that is what we
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: believe in. We don't care what you think it showed
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: how underrepresented so many people in this country have still
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: are really, you know that the deplorables as Hillary called them, right,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that the people who the people in the flyover states,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the border states, that nobody that the media didn't care about,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that the Northeast media centers didn't care about, or a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Hollywood in LA. That was one of the guys that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: became really important in coming out and saying what he believes.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And like I said, if you think back now, he
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: was one of the first, all of the roberts from
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Duck Dynasty, he was one of the first, and they
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: didn't get it, and they still don't get it. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I even saw that I'd bring this up because I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: saw this so over the weekend. Still just a little
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: bit of coverage on Phil Robertson, you know, rip passing
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. I still saw some of that in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the media coverage of them, in the mainstream media coverage
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of them, you know, southern redneck influencer. They were trying
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to call him Phil Robertson, big Trump supporter passes at
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: seventy nine, And I thought, they still don't understand really
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: who the Trump base is. It's just regular America. They
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: completely forgot about him. This is the same media they
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: didn't care about immigranation whatsoever until they started coming to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the cities that affected them. When it was just those
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: southern states, Oh, those flyover states, the you know, middle
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: part of the country. Nobody cared about that until it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: affected them directly. So even still I still don't think
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: they understand what the Trump base is. I really don't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: or why he has so much appeal to so many
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: people because he never would have thought years ago that
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a Monroe, Louisiana man like Phil Robertson would come out
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for a New York businessman, right, we thought in American
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: culture that would never happen. Well, it goes to show
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you if you have the same Americana values, like he said,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: there he goes, that's all I want. That's what's that's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: what had been missing for so long, and that's what's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: still to this day. I think the media still doesn't understand.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They still don't understand the appeal to Trump because they can't.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: They can't wrap their heads around it. They can't do
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it anyway. Speaking of Trump, a little bit of news.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: There's not much going on today as we're all trying
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to get back to our regular, everyday working lives. But
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: in the middle of all the stuff he did over
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the weekend, you know, he went to West Point. He
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: had the commencement address there to Arlington National Cemetery. Of course,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you have to do that for a Memorial Day. It's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: pretty standard operating procedure and you should do it. He
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: also made this statement, and some moves it's against Harvard,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: but really it represents what's been happening in academia here
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and where are money's going, and who's benefiting from it
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and who isn't kicking in their share. Two different things
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: are happening here. The one that got the most controversial
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: response in the courts the activist judges are fighting against
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is what's to limit the amount of foreign international students
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that we pay for? Don't forget about that with grants.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's coming to Harvard. And he's picking on Harvard because
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it's the biggest name still of all the Ivy League schools,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: right that Number one and number two floated that idea
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that I think is absolutely brilliant. What if we took
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that money those grants that we and I mean we
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: because it's taxpayer money eventually give to Harvard and we
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: put it towards trade schools, which is a great idea.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He had one that should have been proposed a long,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: long time ago. But he talked about this is one
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of those it's hard to hear, you know, middle of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the field audio clips because he was in front of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a marine one. I think this is when he was
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: going to the West Point Military Academy. But he had
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: talked about Harvard because they were asking him about it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Here's Trump in explaining his way because the headlines didn't
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: tell us this, why are you picking on foreign students?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: So why are you? You know, Well, there's a reason
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: behind it, and it's twofold because Harvard's not paying their
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: share and the countries that benefit from foreign students learning
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: American technology and then going back, they're not paying anything
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: at all. Is what he said.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: The problem with Harvard is that they're about thirty one percent,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: almost thirty one percent of foreigners coming to Harvard. We
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: give them billions of dollars, which is ridiculous. We do
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: grants which are probably not going to be doing much
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: grants anymore to Harvard, but they're thirty one percent. But
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: they refuse to tell us who the people are? We
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: want to know who the people now. A lot of
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the foreign students we wouldn't have a problem with. I'm
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: not gonna have a problem with foreign students, but they
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be. Thirty one percent is too much because we
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: have Americans that want to go there and the places,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and they can't go there because you have thirty one
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: percent foreign Now, no foreign government contributes money to Harvard.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Well, isn't that something? Wouldn't you like to know at
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: least that? And it always kind of assumed, I really did,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you know? Shame on me, But who the hell knew?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: We never looked into this before. Always assumed that a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: lot of the foreign governments, the foreign countries that actually
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: subsidize these kids when they get home, we're paying for
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: their Harvard education too. Oh no, no that's not the case.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Apparently we are, we have been. We are. And he
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: clarified that too, because you know exactly what the headlines were,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and they are when it is Trump attacks foreign students,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: pounces on foreign governments and another blow to international relations. No, no,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that's not the case at all. In fact, he explained
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it right there. There's no problem with them as long
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: as Oh what a big ask this is. Can we
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: at least find out who they are? I mean, is
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that possible? Can we find out who's here? Along with
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the fact that we all know, we know what happened
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to Harvard, just because they're not in the front lines
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and the headlines of this doesn't mean that they weren't
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: guilty of it. One of the first campuses that was
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: fully stepping aside as pro hamas organizations were keeping Jewish
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: kids out of their classes. That happened at Harvard first,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: when the president finally got fired, well she didn't really
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: get fired, she just got moved to a different department,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a different hallway, in a different office in Harvard. She's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: still there, President Gay of Harvard, She's still there. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: it's happened in other campuses as well. So if we
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: were able to just find out who some of the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: foreign students are, maybe who's funding them, what organizations they're
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: connected to. Is that too much to ask, if their
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: taxpayer funded? Really has that too much to ask? I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: bet you We're gonna find out a lot of they're
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: here and not doing good things, and those are the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: ones we can weed. I'm completely fine with this, especially
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: when you find out that we're funding a lot of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: this with taxpayer money. The more important thing, even more
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: than that, I love what he's talking about. If Harvard, Ah,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: my heart bleeds for Harvard. Oh so they're gonna have
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to They're gonna have to make money on their own
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: without grants. Oh how would they be able to do it?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Like he said, they get billions of dollars? What if
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we took the grant money? And I love this and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: finally we were able to do it. The idea has
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: floated around for a while, let's promote trade schools and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: give and fund that as well. No one's been able
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. Well, where's the that's gonna be
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: another tax? How do we take it out of a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: budget built? No, no, no more money coming from the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: American people. You don't have to take some of the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: money that's going to the Ivy League schools such as
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Harvard and put it towards these trade schools. And oh boy,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that all the political elites will mock this up and down.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Here's my message to you. Don't listen to them, because
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: these are the same people that have told us for
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: decades now fifty sixty seventy years. How long it Well,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it's it's uh, you know, we shouldn't. We should downgrade
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: going to a trade school and you should go to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a four year education program like Harvard. And that's that's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: what it is. Let me tell you something. He's the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: same people that pushed for all of these decades useless degrees,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: racking up college debts. It's a it's a grift, it's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a scam for a lot of this. These are all
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: all of these universities. It's not just Ivy League schools.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: They're all subsidized by student loans. So there's no reason
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: whatsoever to compete with each other for pricing. They're subsidized.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They could charge as much as they want, and they'll
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: keep on doing it, in many cases, putting kids into
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: student debt. You know, they're they're they're mad at the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Trump administration for stopping you know, student debt relief and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: paying off student loans. Why don't you focus that on
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the colleges that have done nothing to keep their cost down.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Make them compete, Make them compete. And the second most
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: important thing is I've been a believer in this for years,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and now it's finally possible. Promote the idea of trade
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: schools and make them fit for the modern world. You know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: botics are going to be massive. They are already get
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: kids into robotics things, or electrician or a plumber, whatever
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: it is. I know plenty of people who went to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: trade schools and they were mocked at the time. Aren't
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you smart enough to get into a four year No,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: plenty smart enough, But this is what he chooses. You
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: know how many of those people that I knew and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: grew up with now are millionaires because they started their
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: own companies in their twenties. We have to get over
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: this idea of putting down trade schools. It's terrible. You know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a grand I remember this distinctively, and you you might've
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: had a grandparent like this as well. You know, you
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: should always you should always have a trade you can
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: fall back on. Like a lot of older folks that
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: came out of the depression, or they remember it as kids,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: there were big believers in trade schools. Have a trade,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Believe in the trades you can always fall back on
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in case things don't go well on Wall Street. Well,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: how smart were they? If we start to get over
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this stigma of putting down trade schools, over four years.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: It's not right for everybody. College isn't right for everybody,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We start getting over that stigma or putting
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: them down and just start fun them the right way
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: as we should, and make those available for opportunity for kids.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be well down the road and fixing what
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we could do with this economy. I love what he's did.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: This might be one of the most important things I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: think Trump has ever discussed. And I don't know what
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get there, but he's put the thought into
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: society now where maybe with all this tax money, maybe
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: with the billions of dollars that should go less to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the four year schools like in the Ivy League schools
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and more to the hands on training trade schools for kids.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Why not we're all talking about bringing manufacturing back to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: this country. Why don't we support trade schools and working
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: with your hands just as much as we support Ivy
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: League schools. We should one hundred percenttion My grandma was right,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: you can always fall back on a trade, right, right,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: There's another thing we gotta do, speaking of kids, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: this kind of blends into it. You know, I'm a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: big proponent of self defense for everybody. I think, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this like at least ten times
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in the live stream as it pops up the whole
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: bullying issue in schools. You want to get rid of that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You know what to do, teach them all how to fight. Well,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that's tech. And here again is the misunderstanding. Well, that's terrible.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You can't teach violence at school, but you're not, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: that's the misunderstanding. It's like mutually assured destruction. If you've
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: ever been on a mat anywhere in a karate center, taekwondo, bigga,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: muy Thai, krab maga, we're Brazilian jiu jitsu, any of it,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you spar
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: somebody or you're train with somebody, all of a sudden,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you're best friends after because you've both put something in
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: its skin in the game and you've been on the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: mat in its mutual respect. That's what needs to be
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: taught in schools, that skill to be able to do it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Replace the ridiculous things we do in gym classes and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: teach kids how to actually defend themselves and apply it
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to the real world. And you see it more and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: more often these days. Don't you how many stories have
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: we brought up? We're some kids somewhere defends him or
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: herself because of what he or she learned. Case in point,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: we got another one, yes today. This story came out
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of Carmel by the Sea, California. It's got a beautiful community.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I was looking at some of the video here that
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the place where she trains is. That's a nice looking studio.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Overlook in the ocean amazing. But
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you got a thirteen year old kid and she was
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: apparently sadly attacked as she was walking home from school
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and some creeper jumped out between two cars went to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: hit her. But because she's been training now for three
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: years jiu jitsu, she was able to not only block
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that hit him, wrapped him up side, controlled him, threw
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: him to the ground I think stopped on his foot too,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and was able to get away. And the guy is
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: still at large, but they have a pretty good description
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: because of what she was able to do. Now, think
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: about the alternative and how scary this could have been
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: for this kid and her parents if she didn't know
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: what she was doing and have the confidence to take
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: on the creeper that attacked her, but she did know.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: How often do we hear these stories now? They pop up.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: There's at least a few of them every single month
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: of kids especially, but women and ordinary citizens people everywhere
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: defending themselves because of what they trained on or what
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: they learned. It happens all the time now, and for
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a feeling of self confidence that those you can handle
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: yourself or at least be able to put up a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: fight in that kind of situation. There's nothing more valuable,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: no matter what you train it, no matter what. Now
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: here's this kid's instructor, her jiu jitsu instructor, because they've
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: not got to talk to the kids. She's a minor
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and he's he's very chill, but he's her sensey. And
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: he said at the you don't hear this part. At
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the end of it, he said, I'm proud of her
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: because she trained exactly how she would need to face
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: this situation in real life. But here's the jiu jitsu
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: instructor for the kid that saved herself in Carmel by
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the Sea. This is what he said about it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Halfway home, a gentleman was standing in between two cars
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: and he stepped out to punch her in the face,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: she punched them, she wrapped it, got him in a headlot,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and need them a couple of times him around, threw
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: him on the ground, and she had stepped down his
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: foot doing all this, and when she threw him to
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: the ground, she broke his ankle.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I told her we were.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Proud of her, and she did exactly what she was
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: supposed to do.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I love it. Exactly what she was supposed to do.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing. If you're I'm telling you, if
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you're a parent and you happen to live or your
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: kid goes to school in an area that's that's known
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: for either physical attacks or people being harassed or whatever,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: it's nothing will give you as a parent more confident
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: than having your kids trained in something and you just
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: is great because everybody can do it, and it's great
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: exercise for the kids, but for everybody. How the supplies.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, just pay attention to it. And once
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you start to see these stories and pay attention to them,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: there's so many of them now and it's great. I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: call them feel good stories. People defending themselves because of
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: how they trained on something. Now the next level, of course,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you can know for for gun defense. You can, you
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: can take it that way, but even at a lower level,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Telly I, I will jump on my soapbox till the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: day I die advocating for teaching this in schools to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: all kids. That's what we should do. That's what physical
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: education should be. It should combine self defense. You want
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to stop, you want to stop bullying, teach them all
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: how to fight. It's the opposite of what you would expect.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I love that story, fantastic that And the other takeaway is,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: rethink how we think of schools. You know, they're gonna
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: all you're gonna see and the media attack dogs are
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be all over the place with Trump and his
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: two proposals limit the amount of money we give all
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to these Ivy League schools, and the foreign students who
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: come in. We don't even know who the hell they are.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: We're paying for them. You're paying for them. Rethink that
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and the whole idea of putting it into trade schools,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and we should all do it. Never put down a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: trade school. It's a great idea, all right. That and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: dotating any crap from anybody like that kid in California.
• 20:41
