0:03
Speaker 1: You like everybody else where. You've got now international foreign
0:07
Speaker 1: affair war experts in your personal life telling me exactly
0:10
Speaker 1: what's going on. We're all going through us and this
0:13
Speaker 1: is the time where there is so much bs being
0:16
Speaker 1: thrown around, there's so much misinformation, there's so much scary stuff,
0:19
Speaker 1: and it's all scary, that's all legit. I think it's
0:22
Speaker 1: all part and parcela. And it comes along with the
0:23
Speaker 1: fact that we're more informed, not better informed, just more
0:27
Speaker 1: informed society now with everything going on, war not so
0:31
Speaker 1: fast close scary, but you know what matters right now,
0:36
Speaker 1: perspective and using your filter for everything what we listen to.
0:39
Speaker 1: Because these are scary times, no doubt about that. But
0:43
Speaker 1: let's kind of go through this whole thing and think
0:44
Speaker 1: it through for a second. Reconsider what we heard even
0:47
Speaker 1: late last night. So we'll get into that as well.
0:49
Speaker 1: But you want to talk about a different world and
0:51
Speaker 1: now for something completely different, we have to lighten it up.
0:54
Speaker 1: At the end of this is it can't talk about
0:56
Speaker 1: anything more serious than potential war than the Nathan's Hot
1:01
Speaker 1: Dog eating contest and Joey chestnutt I know it seems silly,
1:04
Speaker 1: I know, but possibly the American hero we need in
1:07
Speaker 1: these times because he's back with polar opposites.
1:11
Speaker 2: Right.
1:12
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, thanks for fighting me, Thanks for
1:13
Speaker 1: finding The Wicked Radio live stream. All part of Wicked
1:15
Speaker 1: Wisdom with Bill Adams audio podcast will be posted very
1:18
Speaker 1: soon after we get off the live stream here pretty soon,
1:21
Speaker 1: so make sure you like and follow and on the
1:23
Speaker 1: replay a little bit later on. Put your notifications on
1:25
Speaker 1: as well, so you know when we're going live in
1:27
Speaker 1: the future as well. All right, let's get right down
1:29
Speaker 1: to it. Scary times. Let's figure out what we do know.
1:33
Speaker 1: President Trump left the International G seven Summit in Canada
1:36
Speaker 1: a little early, as he should with all this talk
1:39
Speaker 1: about what's going on in the Middle East? Are we
1:42
Speaker 1: closer warplanes heading over? What's going on? Well, what we
1:45
Speaker 1: know is last night an air force one. He made
1:48
Speaker 1: a couple of different statements. This was the first one.
1:50
Speaker 1: And this is interesting. You've always said that.
1:51
Speaker 3: You don't believe it Ron should be able to have
1:53
Speaker 3: him in clear one man, But how close do you
1:56
Speaker 3: personally think that they were to getting one? Because Tulsey
1:58
Speaker 3: Gowerings fight in March, then the intelligence community said Ron
2:03
Speaker 3: wasn't filming and be clear on the oer there what.
2:05
Speaker 2: She said, I think they were very close to have him.
2:08
Speaker 1: Now, that's interesting. I think there's two takeaways from that thing,
2:10
Speaker 1: from that reporter question and a great question, you know,
2:13
Speaker 1: to ask him directly in that little conference area of
2:16
Speaker 1: Air Force one last night. First of all, how close
2:19
Speaker 1: do you think Iran is to developing a nuclear weapon?
2:21
Speaker 1: Very close? Nobody so far, with all of the bs
2:26
Speaker 1: and the fog of war and the misinformation so far,
2:30
Speaker 1: that might be the one takeaway we have guys that
2:32
Speaker 1: they are this close to having a weapon. Nobody seems
2:36
Speaker 1: to disagree with that, except possibly Telsea Gabbard. Why, I
2:40
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe at the end of the day she's right.
2:42
Speaker 1: I don't know. The second takeaway on this is that
2:45
Speaker 1: should tell you right there in that statement, and this
2:47
Speaker 1: is why Trump being transparent is great for you and
2:49
Speaker 1: me and normal people. He's not afraid to disagree with
2:53
Speaker 1: people very close to him in his inner circle, and
2:56
Speaker 1: Telsea Gabbard is in his inner circle. But as he
2:58
Speaker 1: said right there, we all heard it. I don't care
3:00
Speaker 1: what you said, they're close to having a weapon. I
3:02
Speaker 1: think that's gonna play a very big part in our
3:05
Speaker 1: little story here to try to figure out what the
3:07
Speaker 1: hell is going on. He's not afraid he'll everybody close
3:11
Speaker 1: to Trump says he'll listen to everybody's perspective. It doesn't
3:14
Speaker 1: mean he's going to fall for it. That's really really important.
3:18
Speaker 1: So that's the first takeaway. Here's the second thing he
3:20
Speaker 1: said last night. And this may be the other only
3:23
Speaker 1: thing we know about this that's actually true.
3:25
Speaker 4: What specifically is better than a ceasefire?
3:27
Speaker 3: What are you looking for here?
3:30
Speaker 2: And then a real end, not a ceasefire?
3:32
Speaker 1: And then so something that will be permanent.
3:35
Speaker 2: Or or giving up entirely is that's okay too?
3:39
Speaker 4: Are you close there is?
3:40
Speaker 1: Are you possible? Is that possible at twenty four? Why not?
3:44
Speaker 2: Certainly impossible? Complete give up? That's possible?
3:49
Speaker 1: Okay? Looking for a deal obviously, a peace deal, not
3:53
Speaker 1: a cave. Hasn't done that yet. And this all plays
3:55
Speaker 1: into that misinformation part. Right, we're not at war yet,
4:00
Speaker 1: but everybody, probably in your personal life, all kinds of
4:03
Speaker 1: people on TV, all the talking heads and the empty suits,
4:06
Speaker 1: and the politicians, and even though the warmongering generals who
4:09
Speaker 1: aren't in office, who aren't even employed anymore, are all
4:12
Speaker 1: convincing you and me and everybody else that the war's
4:14
Speaker 1: on now, it's happening now, it's happening right now. Ask yourself,
4:19
Speaker 1: as always, what's their vested interest in trying to tell
4:21
Speaker 1: you that the war is happening right now, Not to
4:23
Speaker 1: say it's not going to not to say our involvement
4:25
Speaker 1: is going to escalate if Iran doesn't wake up here,
4:28
Speaker 1: But what's there? What's their vested interest in telling us
4:31
Speaker 1: we're already in it. Oh, we're already in it. We
4:33
Speaker 1: got to go full bore. I don't know. We're not
4:37
Speaker 1: foreign affairs experts. There's only one guy, one cabinet team
4:40
Speaker 1: that actually matters right now, and he's in the and
4:43
Speaker 1: he's in the situation room in the White House right now.
4:46
Speaker 1: But another takeaway right there from Trump talking about deals, now,
4:52
Speaker 1: did he make a deal? Here's part of the misinformation
4:54
Speaker 1: already along with this, And he probably sent this out
4:57
Speaker 1: on truth Social immediately after talking to the pres us
5:00
Speaker 1: right there. Maybe I don't really know, but listen to
5:03
Speaker 1: this talk about misinformation. He sent this out actually this
5:07
Speaker 1: morning publicity seeking presidents Emmanuel Macrone of France, many many Macron,
5:12
Speaker 1: what are you doing mistakingly said I left the G
5:14
Speaker 1: seven summit to go back to DC to work on
5:16
Speaker 1: a cease fire between Israel and Iran. Wrong. He has
5:19
Speaker 1: no idea what he's talking about. You've even got foreign leaders,
5:22
Speaker 1: a president of a major ally for now France, saying
5:26
Speaker 1: that he cease fire was done. Misinformation. Now, all this
5:30
Speaker 1: talk about us being involved and in the thick of
5:31
Speaker 1: it right now, it's understandable why everybody is freaking out
5:35
Speaker 1: over this because we all saw it, right We all
5:37
Speaker 1: saw the posts and the updates on the news, and
5:40
Speaker 1: the videos of American warplane flight paths which we can
5:43
Speaker 1: all see right now, all leaving from American Air Force
5:46
Speaker 1: BASS going to the Middle East right now. Of course,
5:50
Speaker 1: a lot of people took that to mean that we're
5:52
Speaker 1: in it right now. No got to show us support
5:55
Speaker 1: for sure. This is why there are some people that
5:59
Speaker 1: are incredibly trended parent like Trump, that I'm very grateful for,
6:02
Speaker 1: and I think we all should be, because even if
6:04
Speaker 1: you don't like him, even if you didn't vote for him,
6:06
Speaker 1: you don't want him to be the guy in charge
6:08
Speaker 1: of the situation right now. Is one takeaway that benefits you,
6:11
Speaker 1: me and everybody else. You can read exactly what he's doing.
6:14
Speaker 1: His cards are on the table, and if you want
6:17
Speaker 1: to read through the misinformation that's happening, that's a pretty
6:20
Speaker 1: good guy to read. Right there. Here's another one. This
6:23
Speaker 1: is the thing that I wanted to see last night,
6:25
Speaker 1: and he did. Pete Hegsif again, another defense secretary. You
6:29
Speaker 1: may not be too happy about, but it should be
6:31
Speaker 1: happy about this. We all should be that he has
6:34
Speaker 1: the media chops. I would say to go on TV
6:38
Speaker 1: and explain exactly what people are questioning.
6:42
Speaker 2: Right.
6:42
Speaker 1: The main question last night was these warplanes, American warplanes
6:45
Speaker 1: and American air support going over there to support Israel
6:49
Speaker 1: in this not completely involved quite yet, right, And they
6:52
Speaker 1: were all the misinformation in the false reports last night
6:54
Speaker 1: that Americans are dropping bombs right now on Tehran. No,
6:58
Speaker 1: the message was Trump said the people of Tehran should leave.
7:02
Speaker 1: That's a scary thing. Combine that with the warplanes going
7:04
Speaker 1: over but it's not yet. This is where a media
7:08
Speaker 1: savvy defense secretary, a guy that actually has war experience
7:13
Speaker 1: and media experience is key on this. This was the
7:16
Speaker 1: thing that made me feel better last night. Pete Heggsath
7:19
Speaker 1: talking too, I think was Jesse Waters on Fox.
7:21
Speaker 4: What you're watching in real time is peace through strength,
7:24
Speaker 4: and America First, our job is to be strong. We
7:28
Speaker 4: are postured defensively in the region to be strong in
7:32
Speaker 4: pursuit of a peace steal, and we certainly hope that's
7:35
Speaker 4: what happens here in America first means we're going to
7:37
Speaker 4: defend American personnel and American interests. So when you see
7:41
Speaker 4: jets and you see air defense assets and counter UAS assets,
7:47
Speaker 4: that's because my job as the Secretary of Defense is
7:49
Speaker 4: to ensure that our people are safe and that we're
7:52
Speaker 4: strong so that we can set the conditions for a deal.
7:55
Speaker 4: And President Trump's made a clearance on the table. The
7:58
Speaker 4: question is whether Iran will take it.
8:01
Speaker 1: That was very well done. That answered in about a
8:05
Speaker 1: twenty twenty to twenty three second clip. Every question personally
8:09
Speaker 1: I had last night clear it exactly what are the
8:11
Speaker 1: warplanes doing, where are we are we negotiating for a
8:15
Speaker 1: cease fire as many McCrone is saying, or is the
8:18
Speaker 1: is the deal still on the table with Iran? All
8:21
Speaker 1: of those questions answered all of them, and the deal
8:23
Speaker 1: still is on the table. Followed up by Trump and
8:27
Speaker 1: another truth social America first means many great things, including
8:31
Speaker 1: the fact that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. This
8:33
Speaker 1: is about the one hundredth time he said that since
8:36
Speaker 1: this started make America great again. That's also another takeaway
8:39
Speaker 1: that he's reading the room and the tea leaves on
8:43
Speaker 1: his strong voter base. You know, maga America first, the
8:46
Speaker 1: strong Trump supporters Trump forty five forty seven are saying
8:50
Speaker 1: nobody wants to get involved with war, and clarified that
8:54
Speaker 1: right there. But he also laid it down to that
8:56
Speaker 1: base that America first also means they can't have a weapon.
9:01
Speaker 1: That can't be a thing. It's not just involving Israel,
9:05
Speaker 1: even though we'd all like to see them be able
9:07
Speaker 1: to take care of that problem. It's not just them.
9:09
Speaker 1: So there's a bunch of different things to read through
9:11
Speaker 1: so far, including one more what if. And I'm just
9:16
Speaker 1: saying what if. God knows, I'm no foreign affairs expert either.
9:19
Speaker 1: I just know how to read the room in these things,
9:21
Speaker 1: and I know how people work. What if this is
9:24
Speaker 1: really not that different than the way the way it
9:28
Speaker 1: has been. What if Iran has been the threat all along?
9:32
Speaker 1: This is not the first time I've heard Netting Yahoo
9:35
Speaker 1: say this It's not the first time I've heard political
9:38
Speaker 1: people say this. Iran allegedly, reportedly and now according to
9:45
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Israel, has tried to take out
9:48
Speaker 1: Trump many times, a couple of times, in his words,
9:51
Speaker 1: not the first time I've heard that. You may have
9:53
Speaker 1: two what if this situation that seems to be escalating
9:57
Speaker 1: so fast right now has actually been escalating for a
9:59
Speaker 1: long time. And I'm just playing the what if game
10:02
Speaker 1: because all I'm trying to do is add perspective of
10:04
Speaker 1: this whole situation so you and me and normal people
10:06
Speaker 1: can try to figure it out. Netanyaho a couple of
10:09
Speaker 1: days ago saying this, and I think it was Brett Barr. Yeah,
10:12
Speaker 1: they'd asked him the question.
10:13
Speaker 5: You just said, Iran tried to assassinate President Trump twice.
10:17
Speaker 5: Do you have intel that the assassination attempts when President
10:20
Speaker 5: Trump were directly from Iran.
10:23
Speaker 2: Through proxies, Yes, through through their intel. Yes, they want
10:27
Speaker 2: to kill and look is enemy number one. He's a
10:30
Speaker 2: decisive leader. Is he never took the path that others
10:34
Speaker 2: took to try to bargain with him in a way
10:37
Speaker 2: that is weak, giving them, giving them basically a pathway
10:40
Speaker 2: to a rich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb,
10:43
Speaker 2: patting it with billions and billions of dollars he took
10:45
Speaker 2: up as.
10:48
Speaker 1: Now, am I going to believe without any question what
10:54
Speaker 1: bb netanyah who says about Iran trying to take out
10:57
Speaker 1: President Trump? No, it's not my president, it's not my country.
11:00
Speaker 1: I don't care what he says. Here's what I care about.
11:03
Speaker 1: I've heard that a lot now, and you may have
11:05
Speaker 1: too if you pay attention to the news, probably not
11:07
Speaker 1: as much as me, but you're not, you know, addicted
11:09
Speaker 1: to information like I am. But I've heard him say that. Now,
11:12
Speaker 1: that's the second time I've heard him say that. I've
11:14
Speaker 1: also heard some of the political talking heads say that
11:16
Speaker 1: as well. So add that all together, and again, all
11:21
Speaker 1: of this, these are just little pieces of the puzzle
11:23
Speaker 1: to put this all into perspective. Maybe this isn't escalating
11:27
Speaker 1: as quickly as we thought with the scary pictures of
11:31
Speaker 1: flight paths going over there and statements from the president
11:34
Speaker 1: and the President leaving the g seven early May. Maybe
11:38
Speaker 1: this has been at this level that we're seeing right
11:40
Speaker 1: now for quite some time, maybe possibly even going back
11:45
Speaker 1: to the election cycle in late twenty twenty four maybe
11:49
Speaker 1: just throwing things in perspective because everybody on TV telling
11:53
Speaker 1: you we're at war right now. Hold on, let's hope
11:56
Speaker 1: it doesn't get to that point. Maybe maybe it does
12:00
Speaker 1: get to that point, but we don't know right now.
12:03
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I don't want to see on TV.
12:05
Speaker 1: The exact opposite of Pete Hegsa, the actual Defense Secretary
12:09
Speaker 1: explaining what's going on here, and I think he did
12:11
Speaker 1: a really good job in explaining and putting it to
12:13
Speaker 1: your perspective why American warplanes are there, what our support
12:16
Speaker 1: role is, confirming again in a twenty second clip that
12:19
Speaker 1: a deal is still on the table for a RN
12:21
Speaker 1: if they can wake up, you know what, we don't need.
12:23
Speaker 1: You know what. The opposite of that is Lindsey Graham
12:26
Speaker 1: going on TV going gung hole for war. I have
12:29
Speaker 1: never understood Trump supported this guy. Maybe you don't either,
12:32
Speaker 1: I've never understood Lindsay Graham. You want to talk about
12:34
Speaker 1: warhawks and a guy that's like salivating to get involved
12:37
Speaker 1: in this thing, that's him. And there he was again
12:40
Speaker 1: last night. Here's Lindsay Graham. We gotta go, we gotta
12:43
Speaker 1: go full boar, we gotta get involved in this thing.
12:46
Speaker 5: So here's the task at hand. Be all in President
12:50
Speaker 5: Trump and helping Israel eliminate the nuclear threat.
12:54
Speaker 2: If we need to.
12:54
Speaker 5: Provide bombs to Israel, provide bombs, if we need to
12:57
Speaker 5: fly planes with Israel to join our operations. But here's
13:01
Speaker 5: the bigger question. Wouldn't the world be better off if
13:04
Speaker 5: the I totals went away? And what?
13:07
Speaker 1: Why do we need him saying that? Why? And why
13:10
Speaker 1: is a senator from South Carolina. All of us and
13:13
Speaker 1: the guy on well, you know, Foreign Affairs Committee understand that.
13:16
Speaker 1: But why is he always the guy front and center
13:19
Speaker 1: who's always pushing for more involvement in war? Why is
13:22
Speaker 1: he always the one, I mean, any excuse, any you
13:25
Speaker 1: could pick any country in the world. If there was
13:27
Speaker 1: some sort of a some sort of a confrontation, Linda
13:29
Speaker 1: Graham is there saying we're going to drop the bombs.
13:31
Speaker 1: Why that's the exact guy I don't want on television.
13:34
Speaker 1: That's the guy. And I really wish somebody in the
13:36
Speaker 1: administration right now would shut him the hell up. And
13:39
Speaker 1: he may be right. We may be going to war someday.
13:41
Speaker 1: Who the hell knows. I don't know how this is
13:43
Speaker 1: going to escalate. I will tell you what we don't need,
13:45
Speaker 1: what you don't need to listen to is him. Don't
13:47
Speaker 1: need him at all. Here the exact opposite, Pete Hesith,
13:51
Speaker 1: the actual Defense Secretary, clarifying in twenty seconds three important
13:55
Speaker 1: factors and questions we all had last night. Then you
13:57
Speaker 1: have Lindsay Graham screwing it all up by saying we
13:59
Speaker 1: need to go full boring this, gotta gotta gotta send bombs,
14:02
Speaker 1: got to help out Israel. He calls him Israel. That's
14:06
Speaker 1: the guy not to listen, to listen to the people
14:08
Speaker 1: who are actually making the decisions. And he talks about
14:13
Speaker 1: he hinted there too, about regime change. Is that the
14:15
Speaker 1: only outcome on this, So we don't bomb, we don't
14:17
Speaker 1: bomb them, We don't do this. There's no real strike
14:19
Speaker 1: a deal. But we're back in the regime change business.
14:21
Speaker 1: Is that what we want? Don't know? Only takeaway and
14:25
Speaker 1: all of this stuff is there's a lot of bullshit
14:28
Speaker 1: being thrown right now. There's a lot of stuff. You know,
14:30
Speaker 1: people like to give it the twenty four hour rule,
14:32
Speaker 1: call it the forty eight hour rule. If you want
14:34
Speaker 1: to before you realize what's real and what's not. We
14:36
Speaker 1: just remind you of one thing about how things can
14:39
Speaker 1: be can be thrown out there and taken as as gospel.
14:43
Speaker 1: Do you remember a couple of years ago, and I
14:45
Speaker 1: always use this as an example, in the start of
14:46
Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine, Russia invading Ukraine in the start of
14:50
Speaker 1: that warm Remember all the propaganda stories that were coming
14:55
Speaker 1: out and how great Ukraine was doing. Remember the Ghost
14:57
Speaker 1: of Ukraine, this pilot that was taken out Russian meigs
15:00
Speaker 1: left and right, and he was amazing, and Ukraine's gonna
15:02
Speaker 1: win this within forty eight hours that turned out to
15:07
Speaker 1: be completely totally made up in fake news. We're in
15:11
Speaker 1: a stage now where you don't know what to believe
15:14
Speaker 1: except what you see with your own eyes, not a TV,
15:17
Speaker 1: not a talking heads like Lindsey Graham. Listen to people
15:20
Speaker 1: who actually know, like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseith, because I
15:24
Speaker 1: think he's a good communicator. I'm glad he's in the
15:27
Speaker 1: role right now, and I'm glad they're in the role.
15:29
Speaker 1: You may feel different, I don't know, But when I
15:32
Speaker 1: was talking about perspective with this, to make you feel
15:35
Speaker 1: a little bit better about this situation, and especially if
15:38
Speaker 1: you've got you know, kids in the military, and you're worried,
15:42
Speaker 1: sick to death about what could happen here going on
15:45
Speaker 1: with that, think about something, first of all, to make
15:47
Speaker 1: yourself feel a little bit better. One of things that
15:50
Speaker 1: turned out different. And we had different people in office
15:53
Speaker 1: right now, and I think you know who I'm talking about. Oh,
15:56
Speaker 1: we'd be in it already, probably a month into this already.
16:00
Speaker 1: Here's another perspective to think about this. How lucky we
16:04
Speaker 1: are to be where we are. Last night, I'm after
16:08
Speaker 1: a great workout, sitting in my pool, having an adult beverage,
16:11
Speaker 1: a beautiful night, and I'm looking up and I'm thinking
16:14
Speaker 1: about this stuff going. How lucky am I that I'm
16:18
Speaker 1: here right now? And compare that to the people of
16:23
Speaker 1: Tehran leaving by the thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
16:27
Speaker 1: Imagine being them, and compare that to your life right now,
16:31
Speaker 1: no matter what's going on, still in the greatest place
16:35
Speaker 1: on earth. I will tell you that why am I
16:37
Speaker 1: so patriotic? There's an exact reason right there. That's the
16:40
Speaker 1: exact explanation. And how about those people in Tehran? Have
16:43
Speaker 1: you seen these videos? It's amazing. There are confirmed videos
16:48
Speaker 1: of people looking at the bombing of some of the
16:52
Speaker 1: government offices of the Iranian regime going on right now,
16:55
Speaker 1: and the people of Iran cheering it on because they've
16:59
Speaker 1: dealt with these tics in charge of their country since
17:01
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. There are some great Iranian people. There's
17:05
Speaker 1: some great people who just want to be free. Will
17:08
Speaker 1: that happen? I don't know, but let's pray for peace
17:11
Speaker 1: and let's put this all in perspective. Slow down on
17:15
Speaker 1: all the warmonger talk like Lindsey Graham, Slow down on that.
17:19
Speaker 1: Hold on, let's see how it goes, because you got
17:21
Speaker 1: a negotiator in charge of this right now, so we'll see.
17:26
Speaker 1: And now for something completely different, I think we need
17:31
Speaker 1: something like this. You're gonna think this is ridiculous, and
17:35
Speaker 1: it is, but we need that. Sometimes we need something
17:38
Speaker 1: to look forward to. And I think we found just
17:41
Speaker 1: the American hero to get us into joy.
17:49
Speaker 4: Seventy two hot ones on Official's WelCom look at.
17:55
Speaker 1: That crown, Joey Chestnut. That's right, and you're going, wait
18:07
Speaker 1: a minute, I know that name. Is that the Oh
18:09
Speaker 1: that's the competitive eating guy. Yeah, that's the competitive eating guy,
18:12
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. Now, going back last year,
18:15
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of strife. There was a
18:17
Speaker 1: contract dispute with the I think it's called the Professional
18:20
Speaker 1: Eating League. It's not just hot dogs, by the way.
18:24
Speaker 1: They have all kinds of categories. There's like roast, beef, eeding, shrimp,
18:27
Speaker 1: corner of the cob. And the guy, I know you've
18:30
Speaker 1: seen him is a machine, an absolute machine and competitive eating. Well,
18:35
Speaker 1: the bridge has been rebuilt, America's healing, and he's coming
18:40
Speaker 1: back for fourth or July. As he announced last night,
18:42
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be returning to the Nathan's famous Fourth
18:44
Speaker 1: of July hot Dog eating contest. It means the world
18:47
Speaker 1: to me as a churist tradition, celebration of America's culture,
18:51
Speaker 1: and a huge part of my life. Yes, he's back,
18:54
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, gross, what the hell cares about that?
18:58
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, as ridiculous as it is.
19:02
Speaker 1: We need these kind of people in our culture. We
19:05
Speaker 1: need people to look forward to like Joey Chestnut, the
19:08
Speaker 1: Nathan's Hot Dog Ening Contest, goofy little traditions like that,
19:12
Speaker 1: they matter, they matter to our culture. They do And
19:15
Speaker 1: if you want to think back, and I hate to
19:17
Speaker 1: the only thing I can think of is is he
19:19
Speaker 1: a freak. Yeah, he's a freak, but we need the freak.
19:22
Speaker 1: He's a good kind of freak. And you think back,
19:24
Speaker 1: we've always had him right, just somebody that does something
19:28
Speaker 1: above and beyond that's just fascinating to watch. And he
19:30
Speaker 1: kind of root them on and you love that he's back.
19:34
Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut is this day and age is freak. When
19:37
Speaker 1: I was a kid, it was a couple of different people,
19:39
Speaker 1: but I would always point to like evil and evil.
19:42
Speaker 1: I mean, he was trying to jump the fountains and
19:43
Speaker 1: caze her and he would crash and it was horrible.
19:45
Speaker 1: He broke all his bones or whatever. But it was
19:47
Speaker 1: something fascinating to watch back in the day and the
19:51
Speaker 1: what was it, thirties, I think Houdini doing stunts. You
19:58
Speaker 1: need these kind of people are freak of the age
20:03
Speaker 1: in a patriotic kind of way. Is Joey Chestnut and
20:07
Speaker 1: he's back. Keep that in mind something to look forward
20:11
Speaker 1: to for Fourth of July. And if you notice the
20:13
Speaker 1: common theme among all of these people, it was with
20:16
Speaker 1: evil and evil, even Houdini back in the day. Whoever
20:19
Speaker 1: is around in the fifties, I mean or sixties too,
20:23
Speaker 1: and Joey Chestnut. Now they're all very patriotic and you'll
20:27
Speaker 1: see that what a live stream we're talking about staying
20:32
Speaker 1: out of war and Joey Chestnut competitive eating contests. That's
20:36
Speaker 1: the information these days. But I think that's the takeaway.
20:39
Speaker 1: Slow the hell down on listening to all the foreign
20:41
Speaker 1: affairs experts at the cubicle in the office these days
20:43
Speaker 1: because they don't know anything yet, nothing has been decided yet,
20:48
Speaker 1: and put that in perspective. But first of all, how
20:50
Speaker 1: lucky we are and also making deals and not caving. Yeah,
20:56
Speaker 1: I'm personally very grateful we've got who we have in
20:59
Speaker 1: office right now, tell you that flat out, because this
21:01
Speaker 1: could have gone way, way worse. That as well as
21:05
Speaker 1: something to look forward to for the fourth of July.
