Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Well, better late than never, they say, except when it
- 0:08Speaker 1: comes to pregnancy tests and live streams. But hey, thanks
- 0:12Speaker 1: for find a wicked radio live on the open scene.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Now this doesn't matter at all if you're an audio listener,
- 0:17Speaker 1: it means nothing to you. But to my right, your left,
- 0:19Speaker 1: if you're watching on some kind of stream on one
- 0:21Speaker 1: of the platforms is the Atlantic Ocean. I'm on a cruise.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Sh If you can't really see that, I couldn't figure
- 0:26Speaker 1: out the lighting. Tomorrow will be much better, and I
- 0:28Speaker 1: promise you tomorrow I'll actually be here on time. Because
- 0:31Speaker 1: the internet connection was a little spotty, let me put
- 0:34Speaker 1: it that way. All right, Enough of that, this is
- 0:37Speaker 1: a little bit weird one today, I still wanted to
- 0:38Speaker 1: hop on here and talk about the conversation. You know
- 0:42Speaker 1: which one I'm talking about. And no, I don't want
- 0:43Speaker 1: to dig up the details about Shirley Kirk again and
- 0:47Speaker 1: the horrific nature of it and the monsters that we're
- 0:50Speaker 1: celebrating it. I think we're beyond that, mostly because I
- 0:53Speaker 1: gotta tell you, and this is why it's just a
- 0:55Speaker 1: little bit different. I'm just gonna talk about my personal
- 0:57Speaker 1: past couple of days because travel being what it is
- 1:00Speaker 1: the nature of travel. You run into a lot of people,
- 1:03Speaker 1: and unless you're somebody that doesn't like to talk to anybody,
- 1:06Speaker 1: you're gonna hear the national conversation a lot. This is
- 1:08Speaker 1: why like traveling salesman, pilots, anybody that does a lot
- 1:13Speaker 1: of like conventions, they're really smart and they understand exactly
- 1:17Speaker 1: what's going on, like the tone of the country, as
- 1:19Speaker 1: they say, or if you're just traveling, like getting to
- 1:23Speaker 1: a cruise ship. Now, the nature of being a you know,
- 1:27Speaker 1: a traveler on some kind of vacation, you run into
- 1:31Speaker 1: people who are not usually that hip to the news
- 1:34Speaker 1: talking about it. Now, if you're on here and you're
- 1:37Speaker 1: following me, and there's more of you these days, thank
- 1:39Speaker 1: you so much. Appreciate that you're very attuned to the news.
- 1:43Speaker 1: You're very up on things, what's going on. You probably
- 1:46Speaker 1: formed your own opinions. That's you and me. I gotta
- 1:50Speaker 1: tell you, and this is important and I think relevant
- 1:53Speaker 1: to the story. We're not most people. Now most people,
- 1:56Speaker 1: let's call them normal people. And I think we can
- 1:58Speaker 1: use that word again because it's the best description. Well,
- 2:00Speaker 1: how do you define normal? You know what I mean? Normal?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Everyday work, hard working, American people, no matter where they stand,
- 2:07Speaker 1: because this isn't a left right thing anymore. It doesn't
- 2:09Speaker 1: matter Democrat, Republican, red blue. I'm sick of that. We're
- 2:12Speaker 1: all sick of that. Most normal people work in their jobs,
- 2:17Speaker 1: trying to raise their kids, maybe trying to graduate college,
- 2:20Speaker 1: just trying to get through life. Okay, you and I
- 2:23Speaker 1: not so much normal, were a little bit tuned into
- 2:25Speaker 1: the news more than the normal people. Here's what's changed.
- 2:30Speaker 1: The conversation has started. And I couldn't figure out what
- 2:32Speaker 1: to call this live stream today, but you got to
- 2:34Speaker 1: write down something, and I said, people are ready to talk,
- 2:37Speaker 1: start the conversation. I should have wrote this, should have
- 2:40Speaker 1: written this. People want to talk, So jump into the
- 2:44Speaker 1: conversation because you chances are know a lot more about
- 2:47Speaker 1: the news and what's going on here, what the real
- 2:49Speaker 1: deal is, because they're so tuned into the news than
- 2:52Speaker 1: most other people. Here's what I mean by people want
- 2:55Speaker 1: to talk. Now. Personal journey leaving Florida, getting on a
- 2:59Speaker 1: plane going to New York City is that's where we
- 3:02Speaker 1: left the cruise out of and wanted to hang out
- 3:04Speaker 1: with my daughter for a couple of days too. So
- 3:06Speaker 1: everything involved with New York City and every place you
- 3:08Speaker 1: go where people want to talk all the time, cafes
- 3:11Speaker 1: and restaurants and hotels and apartment buildings and stores that right,
- 3:17Speaker 1: then you actually get onto a cruise ship where there
- 3:19Speaker 1: is a sampling of the entire world, not just the country,
- 3:22Speaker 1: people from all over the world. Right, And then you
- 3:25Speaker 1: get into different ports and different cities and different things
- 3:28Speaker 1: and casual conversations and areas. Let me tell you something,
- 3:31Speaker 1: just because it's a unique experience, people want not only
- 3:35Speaker 1: are ready, they want to talk about maybe not the
- 3:40Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk gory details, they want to talk about the
- 3:45Speaker 1: aftermath and let me tell you what's going on with
- 3:47Speaker 1: this thing. People are horrified by the reaction from most
- 3:51Speaker 1: other people. Remember we talked about this on Thursday and Friday,
- 3:54Speaker 1: where it's just the extreme reaction to thousands of people
- 3:59Speaker 1: have account of this. Now there are thousands of people
- 4:01Speaker 1: getting fired from their jobs. The most recent viral video
- 4:05Speaker 1: of this was that office depot in Michigan where they
- 4:08Speaker 1: refused to print out flyers for a vigil for Charlie Kirk.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Office depot jumped up and they fired those two people
- 4:16Speaker 1: as well. I mean, that's happening a lot, because those
- 4:18Speaker 1: are the extreme people. Believe me, they're in the minority.
- 4:21Speaker 1: That's not most people having visceral hatred reaction to Charlie
- 4:26Speaker 1: Kirk and all the people writing terrible things and all
- 4:28Speaker 1: that other stuff. That's the extreme minority. So isn't I
- 4:33Speaker 1: need to tell you this that people that want this
- 4:35Speaker 1: to be We're never talking to these people again. That's it.
- 4:38Speaker 1: It's over. It's all over now. I even need and posted.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And I think I said this on one of the
- 4:42Speaker 1: live streams one of the podcasts on Thursday and Friday.
- 4:44Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I don't ever deal with those people, now,
- 4:48Speaker 1: that's true. I actually did say that. I believe that
- 4:51Speaker 1: if you have somebody in your organization or your company
- 4:53Speaker 1: that was celebrating and cheering you know what happened to
- 4:57Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk or any violent akiaty I'm holding to that,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you got to get away from those people. I don't
- 5:03Speaker 1: know if you want them in your organization, but that's
- 5:05Speaker 1: not really what we're talking about. We're talking about normal,
- 5:07Speaker 1: everyday people that you've run into, and it probably run
- 5:10Speaker 1: into that are aware of this story. That's how massive
- 5:14Speaker 1: this story is, and they want to it's not just
- 5:18Speaker 1: being ready to talk. They want to talk about it.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Case in point, the vigils that happened for the poor
- 5:26Speaker 1: guy over the weekend were just absolutely incredible. I'm hoping
- 5:31Speaker 1: the internet connection is there in this video actually plays
- 5:34Speaker 1: to play this many vigils and maybe you're not a
- 5:37Speaker 1: vigil going kind of person. I understand that I'm probably
- 5:39Speaker 1: not either. Take a guess where this one was for
- 5:42Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk though. Just take a guess as they're chanting
- 5:44Speaker 1: his name. Thousands of people gathered there, and I'll tell
- 5:47Speaker 1: you where it is. After thousands, you know where it was. Boy,
- 6:00Speaker 1: I don't know his home state of Arizona was, although
- 6:03Speaker 1: a huge one was there. Who was in Texas one
- 6:05Speaker 1: of the southern states, Tennessee, a Bible Belt state. That
- 6:08Speaker 1: was Long Island, New York in the park. Okay. Another
- 6:12Speaker 1: massive vigil probably until the official ones are there, that
- 6:16Speaker 1: popped up was in Huntington Beach, California. Things are different now,
- 6:21Speaker 1: people feel that. And you can't tell me that every
- 6:24Speaker 1: single person at that vigil in Long Island, New York
- 6:27Speaker 1: was what they're calling a far right extremist who followed
- 6:30Speaker 1: the guy and is a mega conservative, and is it. No.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Those are people that took time out of their busy
- 6:37Speaker 1: weekend to show up to a vigil for somebody they
- 6:39Speaker 1: never even met and probably don't even know about very
- 6:43Speaker 1: you know too much, But anybody that goes to a
- 6:46Speaker 1: vigil like that is horrified by what happened to the guy.
- 6:49Speaker 1: And trust me, you're just gonna have to believe me
- 6:51Speaker 1: when I tell you. Just by talking to hundreds of
- 6:53Speaker 1: people throughout a big section of the country this weekend,
- 6:57Speaker 1: people are ready to talk about the reaction. And here's
- 7:01Speaker 1: what I'm getting to in a long winded kind of way.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Nobody wants the reaction to what happened last week to
- 7:09Speaker 1: ever happen again. It's horrifying. People are absolutely done with
- 7:14Speaker 1: the extreme reaction to that stuff. And this is why
- 7:16Speaker 1: I say they want to talk about it. And here's
- 7:18Speaker 1: where you come in. But I said in the beginning
- 7:20Speaker 1: there that you're probably most likely tuned into the news,
- 7:24Speaker 1: current affairs, topical information more than most people. This is
- 7:30Speaker 1: where you should jump into this conversation. Now. I had
- 7:32Speaker 1: said that a lot of people chatter back and forth.
- 7:35Speaker 1: The guy on the plane I was next to wanted
- 7:37Speaker 1: to talk about the Charlie Kirk thing the whole thing.
- 7:39Speaker 1: What was up with that? What's going on with that? Absolutely,
- 7:41Speaker 1: people on this boat I'm on right now, people at
- 7:44Speaker 1: the airport, all kinds of cafes and public settings in
- 7:48Speaker 1: New York City. This story is everywhere and they want
- 7:51Speaker 1: to talk. Most people run into don't really know too
- 7:54Speaker 1: much about it as an informed person. Here's where you
- 7:57Speaker 1: jump in, jump into the conversation. We'll tell you I
- 8:00Speaker 1: didn't start this conversation with any of these folks. They
- 8:03Speaker 1: brought it up just in casual and you find yourself
- 8:05Speaker 1: in these conversations. Here's what I heard. Most of people
- 8:10Speaker 1: who thought he was a terrible person, right, well, you
- 8:13Speaker 1: know I I think it was kind of divisive, wasn't
- 8:16Speaker 1: that guy kind of divisive? Said some racist things. Here's
- 8:20Speaker 1: where you jump in if you want to correct that said. Well,
- 8:22Speaker 1: I don't know, did did you hear him say those things?
- 8:26Speaker 1: Or did you hear somebody else say he was Nine
- 8:29Speaker 1: times out of ten you say no, I heard that
- 8:31Speaker 1: from you know, my daughter or one of their friends
- 8:33Speaker 1: or one of my buddies said that. I never actually
- 8:34Speaker 1: heard it myself. You hear that so much. Here's why
- 8:38Speaker 1: people are getting that information and why you should feel
- 8:42Speaker 1: free to jump into the conversation because you know more
- 8:44Speaker 1: than they do. The misinformation from the news about the guy,
- 8:48Speaker 1: like they always do, of course, was all over the place.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Here's a classic example, and I hope I can find
- 8:52Speaker 1: this information for you. On Saturday, The New York Times
- 8:56Speaker 1: more on them in a second, their irrelevance had to
- 8:59Speaker 1: issue an apology for a horrific statement that they had said.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Here's the correction. Correction was man in September eleventh, twenty
- 9:05Speaker 1: twenty five. An earlier version of this article described incorrectly
- 9:08Speaker 1: in anti Semitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on
- 9:11Speaker 1: an episode of his podcast. They had an article where
- 9:16Speaker 1: they claimed this to happen without any proof, substantiation anything.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Knew that it was false and had to issue the correction. Now,
- 9:25Speaker 1: here's how the game is played. How many people saw
- 9:27Speaker 1: the original article with the New York Times, even though
- 9:30Speaker 1: the failing New York Times a lot, there's a lot
- 9:32Speaker 1: of people. How many people saw that correction, that little
- 9:34Speaker 1: tiny blurb in their online and printed version. Not a lot.
- 9:38Speaker 1: And that's how they play the game. To disparage the guy.
- 9:41Speaker 1: That's how they do it all the time. And here's
- 9:44Speaker 1: the other thing you heard over the weekend that people
- 9:46Speaker 1: aren't buying anymore, Well, that guy was Did you hear that?
- 9:49Speaker 1: Did you hear that Charlie Kirk was actually I mean
- 9:51Speaker 1: the shooter of Charlie Kirk was actually Maga. He was
- 9:53Speaker 1: one of the MAGA guys. It was a far right
- 9:56Speaker 1: kind of guy. They tried to push that narrative through
- 9:59Speaker 1: the media, falsely, probably fed by political operatives. I guess
- 10:04Speaker 1: who the hell knows, from Friday all the way to
- 10:09Speaker 1: Saturday night into Sunday morning. But here's the great thing,
- 10:13Speaker 1: it went nowhere. No one was believing that, especially when
- 10:17Speaker 1: some substantiated reports came out that Charlie Kirk's shooter at
- 10:21Speaker 1: the Assassin was living with a trans person, most likely
- 10:26Speaker 1: allegedly some cases reportedly in a relationship with that person,
- 10:30Speaker 1: and on the bullet casings. The FBI has confirmed that
- 10:33Speaker 1: wrote pro trands attacking duck, fascist or whatever the hell
- 10:41Speaker 1: it was on the casings. Once people found out that information,
- 10:44Speaker 1: yet nobody believes that anymore. They don't believe the lies.
- 10:48Speaker 1: This is why I say people are ready to talk.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They're ready to talk about what's really happening. And this
- 10:53Speaker 1: is where it's up to you and me and everybody
- 10:55Speaker 1: else to not push an agenda. You don't even have
- 10:57Speaker 1: to start the conversation, but don't avoid the conversation. Now again,
- 11:01Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the freakazoids who maybe are in
- 11:05Speaker 1: your office or god forbidden, your family too, who have
- 11:09Speaker 1: just had this visceral hate in the reaction. I'm celebrating
- 11:12Speaker 1: that they killed Charlie Kregk, not those people. This is
- 11:14Speaker 1: a different story. I'm also avoiding them talking about normal people,
- 11:19Speaker 1: which are ninety five percent of the population. They may
- 11:22Speaker 1: not have all the details for their whole lives. They've
- 11:25Speaker 1: been misdirected by a lying news media. You know more,
- 11:30Speaker 1: You know the truth because you're an educated, informed person.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Don't back away from the conversation anymore, because that happens
- 11:37Speaker 1: to so many of us these days, and I'm guilty
- 11:39Speaker 1: of it too. Here in the background, you know, you're
- 11:41Speaker 1: just in line buying something at a convenience store and
- 11:44Speaker 1: you hear the conversation starting up, and you wanted to
- 11:47Speaker 1: avoid that, like the plague, because you don't want to
- 11:48Speaker 1: get involved, even though you know the details. Anymore, when
- 11:51Speaker 1: people want to have a civil conversation. Don't back away
- 11:55Speaker 1: from it anymore, because they're ready to talk. Me on
- 12:00Speaker 1: this one. They're ready to talk now. The good news
- 12:02Speaker 1: on this besides that piece of good news was pretty
- 12:06Speaker 1: wild with how many organizations leagues that actually had a
- 12:10Speaker 1: dedication to Charlie Kirk and felt their need to do it.
- 12:13Speaker 1: I kept a little tally, and this is reported anyway,
- 12:16Speaker 1: all but four home teams in the NFL yesterday had
- 12:19Speaker 1: a moment of silence for him. A bunch of baseball
- 12:22Speaker 1: stadiums did too. The guy that won the NASCAR race
- 12:25Speaker 1: over the weekend, this is less surprising, I guess said
- 12:28Speaker 1: he did. You know they always interview him after the fact.
- 12:30Speaker 1: He said he dedicated his win to Charlie Kirk. It
- 12:33Speaker 1: should tell you the kind of impact that Charlie Kirk
- 12:38Speaker 1: had but now has and I think his lasting legacy.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Maybe this conversation we're talking about, it's not only people
- 12:47Speaker 1: are ready to talk. They want to talk. And this
- 12:50Speaker 1: is a great thing, guys, it really is. And don't
- 12:52Speaker 1: be afraid to jump into the conversation. You don't even
- 12:55Speaker 1: have to argue with people. Let's leave it up to
- 12:57Speaker 1: the politicians to take care of the argumentative part of it.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Trump in fact already said, in fact, here's the clip
- 13:03Speaker 1: here if I have this for you. He said, the
- 13:05Speaker 1: investigation is already underway on some of the political organizations
- 13:10Speaker 1: that are funding this kind of violence. He said, they're
- 13:12Speaker 1: looking into it right now. Let's leave that stuff up
- 13:16Speaker 1: to them and for us, normal people, even though you're
- 13:19Speaker 1: a little bit more informed than the most normal people,
- 13:22Speaker 1: don't be afraid to add into the conversation. There's never
- 13:25Speaker 1: been a better time to talk, and they want to.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Here was Trump. This is really loud. This is outside
- 13:29Speaker 1: of Air Force one. But they asked them about looking
- 13:32Speaker 1: into maybe with reco charges, who's funding the violence, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: maybe it's on both sides, with the don't care when
- 13:38Speaker 1: when we attack people, we have to prepare for term time.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Crtivation is on the left, flash, Well, the problem is
- 13:51Speaker 2: on the left.
- 13:52Speaker 1: When you look at the problem, the problem is.
- 13:54Speaker 2: On the left. But it's not on the right, like
- 13:55Speaker 2: some people like this say on the right. The problem
- 13:58Speaker 2: we have is on the left. When you look at
- 14:00Speaker 2: the agitators, you look at the scum that speaks so
- 14:06Speaker 2: badly of our country. The American flag burnings all over
- 14:08Speaker 2: the place, that's the left, that's not the right. We'll say,
- 14:13Speaker 2: we'll be announcing they're already under invest again, they're already
- 14:18Speaker 2: under Okay.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Now, in Trump's own way, of course, he's you know, bombasking.
- 14:22Speaker 1: He's gonna say the scum, the flag burning. We may
- 14:25Speaker 1: hate that too. Let's let them handle that in the investigations.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Here's our job on the streets, actually in real life
- 14:33Speaker 1: with real people, normal people, guys. I'm telling you, I'll
- 14:36Speaker 1: just leave you with this, and I know this. This
- 14:38Speaker 1: whole podcast has been a little bit different today because
- 14:40Speaker 1: it's mostly personal experience. I'm just telling you. The hundreds
- 14:43Speaker 1: of people have run into over the weekend, cross section
- 14:46Speaker 1: of humanity of the world on a ship I'm on
- 14:50Speaker 1: right now. People all over the world want to talk
- 14:53Speaker 1: about this story and and getting rid of this divide
- 14:56Speaker 1: because the most important thing of all is we never
- 14:59Speaker 1: want to divide us. We never wanted to be divided ourselves,
- 15:03Speaker 1: but these political and media organizations did. And the great
- 15:08Speaker 1: news is everybody is starting to realize it. Everybody. This
- 15:14Speaker 1: is why I use that term normal because the extreme
- 15:17Speaker 1: people Okay, I'll give you examples on both the people
- 15:20Speaker 1: who celebrated disgustingly Charlie Kirk's assassination, and the other side,
- 15:24Speaker 1: the people that said it's over now, it's over. Oh
- 15:27Speaker 1: now the pushbacks. Now you want civil war, well you
- 15:29Speaker 1: got it. Okay. Both of those examples are the extreme minority.
- 15:34Speaker 1: All of us are right there in the middle. People
- 15:37Speaker 1: want to talk. Add what you know, because you know
- 15:40Speaker 1: more than they do. All right, this is a weird one.
- 15:42Speaker 1: I get it and late, and I apologize for that.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I'll get I'll get my act together by tomorrow. But
