Wicked Radio 4-7: 'Hands Off' What Exactly?, Buying The Dip, & Russell Brand Fights Back · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: So what was that all about? If you're somebody that
0:09
Speaker 1: pays attention to anything going on, you know, in society,
0:13
Speaker 1: while you were out and joying your weekend, you saw
0:15
Speaker 1: these massive protests many cities throughout the country, and me
0:19
Speaker 1: and you and everybody else, we're trying to figure out
0:22
Speaker 1: one basic, simple but elementary question, Well what was it for?
0:29
Speaker 1: Hands off? What exactly? And you're exactly right to ask
0:33
Speaker 1: that question. Here's the problem. The people that were there,
0:36
Speaker 1: they can't explain it either, and they're also trying to
0:39
Speaker 1: tell us as completely organic. Now they just decided to
0:41
Speaker 1: show up at the same place. It wasn't organized or
0:43
Speaker 1: funded by anybody.
0:45
Speaker 2: Right.
0:47
Speaker 1: The takeaway on this I think we're gonna discover is
0:49
Speaker 1: if you can't explain what you're angry about, nobody's gonna
0:52
Speaker 1: jump onto your cause. I go so far as to
0:53
Speaker 1: say they might be a backlash. Anyway. We'll get into
0:55
Speaker 1: that as well as are you buying the dip? Is
0:58
Speaker 1: it time to buy the dip? You don't want to
0:59
Speaker 1: look at your stock market numbers right now? And if
1:02
Speaker 1: you're listening to this in the replay later or the
1:04
Speaker 1: audio podcast, it's probably not that much different. Just like
1:06
Speaker 1: a sea of red in the market international markets too.
1:10
Speaker 1: Is there a method to the madness? I don't know.
1:12
Speaker 1: We'll see. And this was really interesting. I don't know
1:15
Speaker 1: if you have paid attention to Russell Brand recently. He's
1:18
Speaker 1: the English comedian. He was married to Katie what's her
1:24
Speaker 1: face there for a while but he's a different human
1:26
Speaker 1: being right now. But he's also been now officially charged
1:30
Speaker 1: with assault charges and the R word from England. The
1:35
Speaker 1: reason why I'm talking about it his defense on this
1:38
Speaker 1: is one of the most unique I've ever seen in
1:39
Speaker 1: my life. We'll get to that as well, but we'll
1:41
Speaker 1: lighten nobou up too. But thanks for finding me. Welcome
1:44
Speaker 1: to Monday. I hope you had a nice weekend. I
1:45
Speaker 1: hope you weren't worried about all this stuff going on
1:47
Speaker 1: in the news. Hopefully it wasn't driving you crazy and
1:50
Speaker 1: you're not like glued to your stock market app. Don't
1:52
Speaker 1: worry about that because it's going to be okay. First
1:55
Speaker 1: of all, thanks for finding me. Don't forget all the
1:57
Speaker 1: social pages. Just look for Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams, Facebook, YouTube,
2:02
Speaker 1: everything else. Also the audio podcast wherever you like to
2:05
Speaker 1: get those, and the Wicked Radio livestream within that every
2:07
Speaker 1: single day, and interviews are coming as well, So thanks
2:09
Speaker 1: for finding me. And the audio numbers keep on going up,
2:11
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you so much for those. Let's get
2:13
Speaker 1: to it. What the heck was the hands off protest?
2:17
Speaker 1: All about protests, I should say plural hands off our corruption?
2:25
Speaker 1: Was that it hands off the bureaucracy?
2:28
Speaker 3: Was that?
2:29
Speaker 4: Was it?
2:29
Speaker 3: Well?
2:29
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of hands off social Security? I
2:31
Speaker 1: saw that one. Even though they're not going after social Security,
2:34
Speaker 1: they're trying to make it so Grandma Getzer checks. Hands
2:37
Speaker 1: off foreign influence? Was? Was that what it was? Here's
2:42
Speaker 1: the what I don't I think this was heading into
2:46
Speaker 1: it now. And I saw the numbers and you probably
2:47
Speaker 1: saw it, tune. You saw a lot of people gathering,
2:49
Speaker 1: and there were people, There were people bust in and
2:51
Speaker 1: it was Boston and Washington, Chicago had a big one,
2:54
Speaker 1: la At a big one. New York was a big
2:55
Speaker 1: parade style one. I sawt hmm. These people really are
2:59
Speaker 1: truly upset. And then you dig in a little bit
3:01
Speaker 1: and you try to find out exactly what the issue is,
3:03
Speaker 1: to find out exactly how organic this was or are
3:06
Speaker 1: they just kind of like the same exact people who
3:08
Speaker 1: have been to all the other protests and they really
3:09
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. Yeah, that was the case.
3:12
Speaker 1: And again the takeaway is always if you can't explain
3:15
Speaker 1: what you're upset about, nobody's gonna jump onto your cause. Now,
3:18
Speaker 1: granted full disclosure. Of the thousands I could have chosen today,
3:22
Speaker 1: there were thousands listed of street interview reporters. You know,
3:25
Speaker 1: people show up at these things with their phones and
3:27
Speaker 1: they just talk to some of the protesters. That is
3:30
Speaker 1: so great that, I mean, this is such a great
3:32
Speaker 1: information age where you can get that information out to
3:34
Speaker 1: find out on a street level, really what's going on.
3:37
Speaker 1: Like I said, granted, I just cherry picked this one video.
3:40
Speaker 1: I don't even know who this kid is. I'm pretty
3:42
Speaker 1: sure this is the DC one I could, but basically
3:45
Speaker 1: it was the same thing among thousands of videos you
3:48
Speaker 1: can check. You tell me if this kid has any
3:51
Speaker 1: idea what's going on. As he has his Trump's a
3:54
Speaker 1: criminal printed sign with some dot org on there right,
3:58
Speaker 1: the street interviewer asked, well, what what makes him hitler?
4:01
Speaker 1: Does this kid understand what's going on? What makes Trump
4:04
Speaker 1: a fascist? He does does things without Yeah, talk loud,
4:09
Speaker 1: and all my mic.
4:09
Speaker 2: On, I'm not really really.
4:14
Speaker 1: Sorry.
4:15
Speaker 3: He just doesn't He just does everything he wants and
4:19
Speaker 3: it's not following balls or.
4:23
Speaker 1: He was a he's a convicted fellow. It's okay. He
4:26
Speaker 1: always wraps it up with that. Like a light bulb
4:28
Speaker 1: went off in the kid's head. And he's stoned out
4:30
Speaker 1: of his mind too, by the way, nothing wrong with that,
4:32
Speaker 1: but at least he's peaceful. But he's he's struggling. Well,
4:35
Speaker 1: he does he does things. Uh, he's just you know, like, uh,
4:41
Speaker 1: you know, not the laws. And then the thought entered
4:44
Speaker 1: his head like a bolt of lightning, and he said, uh,
4:47
Speaker 1: talking points, talking points, What did they tell me? Always
4:49
Speaker 1: a convicted criminal? That If that wasn't it, the next
4:52
Speaker 1: thing you would have jumped onto was, here's a rapist,
4:56
Speaker 1: you know, all the same talking points. That kid has
4:58
Speaker 1: no idea what he's talking talk about. He has no
5:00
Speaker 1: idea what he's upset about. He has no real true
5:03
Speaker 1: idea of why he's there. Multiply that by tens, maybe
5:08
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people this past weekend. They have
5:10
Speaker 1: no idea what they're upset about. They truly don't. So
5:13
Speaker 1: if you don't understand what it's all about. You can't
5:17
Speaker 1: explain it to people. Did anybody change their minds about this?
5:20
Speaker 1: Did you look at this and say, if you were
5:22
Speaker 1: like an independent voter that voted for Trump, did you
5:25
Speaker 1: look at this and say, wow, you know what? Yeah,
5:29
Speaker 1: like you heard that kid? Yeah, he's right, he's got
5:31
Speaker 1: some solid points there, Yeah he's yeah, that's the team
5:35
Speaker 1: I want to be on. Were any minds changed on this?
5:38
Speaker 1: I'll go so far as to say this, here's my
5:40
Speaker 1: prediction that Democrat it may get it may go up
5:43
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I don't know. But the national
5:44
Speaker 1: support for the Democrat Party as of last week before
5:47
Speaker 1: these was at twenty one percent cross all polls. Twenty
5:50
Speaker 1: one they make get a bump. Is it going to
5:52
Speaker 1: go up a lot? No? Not after this, I don't
5:55
Speaker 1: think so. I'm gonna give him credit though, I will
5:59
Speaker 1: because and I even posted with the little teasing billboard
6:03
Speaker 1: for the live stream coming up of Lady Lady who
6:05
Speaker 1: was I think she was dressed up in the Statue
6:08
Speaker 1: of Liberty outfit and she said Trump is Hitler and
6:11
Speaker 1: she had swastikas and she said Trump must die. And
6:14
Speaker 1: there are other people who had Trump heads and all
6:16
Speaker 1: that stuff. Now, that's gross and that's nasty. You maybe
6:19
Speaker 1: even make the argument that that's bordering on inciting violence,
6:21
Speaker 1: you know, I get that. But as far as mass destruction,
6:24
Speaker 1: I'm sure there was litter, but there wasn't a lot
6:26
Speaker 1: of mass destruction. So I'm gonna give these protesters the
6:29
Speaker 1: hands off people who have no idea what they wanted,
6:31
Speaker 1: their hands off of, our hands off of. I'll give
6:33
Speaker 1: them credit for that because they did keep it I
6:35
Speaker 1: hate to use the phrase, they did. They kept it
6:38
Speaker 1: mostly peaceful. They did. Now, there were skirmishes here and
6:40
Speaker 1: there throughout the country. I'm sure there were. I'm sure
6:43
Speaker 1: that's a thing, sure, absolutely, And some of the signage
6:46
Speaker 1: was gross. You see the Devil Lady in DC. Yeah,
6:49
Speaker 1: the Devil Lady came out of a big fire thing
6:51
Speaker 1: and she, of course, you know, was hanging Trump and
6:54
Speaker 1: effigy and all that stuff. That's just performative, and isn't
6:57
Speaker 1: that it? Though, I couldn't shake the feeling that watching
7:00
Speaker 1: all of these protests and all the ones coming up,
7:03
Speaker 1: because there's going to be a lot more, and let's
7:04
Speaker 1: hope that they stay you know, silly but somewhat calm.
7:08
Speaker 1: I can't shake the thought that I kind of worked
7:11
Speaker 1: out live with you guys on the live stream last week.
7:15
Speaker 1: These are overgrown, performative, maladjusted theater kids that do know
7:22
Speaker 1: how to control their emotions. That's what they are, and
7:24
Speaker 1: that's what's appealed to this. Maybe not the kid we
7:26
Speaker 1: played there, but there were a lot of them. The
7:28
Speaker 1: screaming and the yelling, and there was one that one
7:32
Speaker 1: of them in Boston they had a picture of Trump
7:35
Speaker 1: or like a like a like a billboard or something,
7:37
Speaker 1: and they were throwing rocks at it. Those are children
7:40
Speaker 1: that they have no impulse control. That's what this is.
7:44
Speaker 1: And if you can't explain why you're so upset about this,
7:47
Speaker 1: nobody's going to jump to your cause. Nobody, nobody even
7:50
Speaker 1: understands that. Because I will tell you this, if you
7:52
Speaker 1: are somebody that went to these protests or you believe
7:55
Speaker 1: in that or whatever they are a good, honest, common
7:59
Speaker 1: sense America, I'll even throw myself in there. You may
8:02
Speaker 1: not agree with me, but I'll even throw myself into
8:04
Speaker 1: that bucket. Who want to understand what you're upset about?
8:07
Speaker 1: Who want to understand your cause? If you can't explain
8:10
Speaker 1: that and you just show up with, you know, displays
8:14
Speaker 1: of guillotines for Trump or hanging him in effigy and
8:17
Speaker 1: all this other You're just lashing out. You're making no
8:19
Speaker 1: solid points or anything. You're not gonna win anything that way.
8:23
Speaker 1: Did they get a bump on this maybe in the polls.
8:25
Speaker 1: Did they win any votes?
8:26
Speaker 3: No?
8:27
Speaker 1: I think they lost some, I really do. So let's
8:30
Speaker 1: just hope they keep it to that, because they're getting
8:33
Speaker 1: lunier and luniar by the day. But Trump doesn't seem
8:37
Speaker 1: to be worried. Did you hear that too? I heard this.
8:38
Speaker 1: I heard this a lot too, especially in the New
8:41
Speaker 1: York Street parode. A lot of signs, well, we're suffering.
8:44
Speaker 1: He's golfing. Yeah he was. He was at Marlago this
8:48
Speaker 1: weekend and then he flew back to DC. But I
8:51
Speaker 1: think he does that for a couple of different reasons.
8:54
Speaker 1: It's good for his health, but he also does it
8:55
Speaker 1: to drive them absolutely crazy. Did you notice something else too?
8:58
Speaker 1: As opposed to twenty sixteen, there was no reaction whatsoever
9:02
Speaker 1: from the administration to these protest rallies, the hands off rallies. Nothing.
9:07
Speaker 1: They wouldn't they didn't recognize them, They didn't talk about them.
9:10
Speaker 1: Nobody from the administration posted anything online about it. It completely
9:13
Speaker 1: ignored it as massive as they were. So I don't know.
9:16
Speaker 1: There you go, speaking of Trump, All right, where's he been?
9:19
Speaker 1: What's going on? What the heck? Are we in a
9:21
Speaker 1: trade war? Yeah? What's the what's the plan? Are we
9:24
Speaker 1: sinking the economy? Are we all gonna well, you're golfing?
9:28
Speaker 1: Is that what's happening? While he's on Air Force one
9:30
Speaker 1: flying back from Palm Beach to DC last night, and
9:34
Speaker 1: he had some reporters on board, and he explained a
9:36
Speaker 1: little bit of the method to the madness. What is
9:38
Speaker 1: this all about? The takeaway is and what you're gonna
9:41
Speaker 1: hear here is and Marco Rubiu explains it too. It's
9:44
Speaker 1: all about manufacturing. Here he was last night, because you
9:47
Speaker 1: can't continue to be there.
9:48
Speaker 3: We've been that way for years now and it can't
9:51
Speaker 3: go on any longer. And with the piggyback, we have
9:54
Speaker 3: all the advantages. If we get Parkins for a second,
9:57
Speaker 3: we have all the advantages. We're going to straight out.
9:59
Speaker 3: We're going to be I'm a wealthy nation again, wealthy
10:03
Speaker 3: like never before. And we're not going to let other
10:05
Speaker 3: nations that have been ripping us off, whether it's China
10:08
Speaker 3: or the European Union. With all of the European nations
10:12
Speaker 3: that have just made it's been like a feast. Look,
10:17
Speaker 3: the European Union was formed, but one reason, you know
10:20
Speaker 3: what that was to rip off the United States.
10:23
Speaker 1: Oh and it cut off. But he had a great
10:24
Speaker 1: line at the end of their way, he goes, he
10:26
Speaker 1: wrapped up that statement game by going, so put that
10:29
Speaker 1: in your bonnet. He doesn't. I saw somebody, some political
10:34
Speaker 1: analyst over the weekend who knows him, whatever it is,
10:36
Speaker 1: he knows the administration, he says, you know that expression.
10:39
Speaker 1: He doesn't give an f. That's him in this administration.
10:42
Speaker 1: I mean, cares about the country, loves the American people,
10:44
Speaker 1: loves his voters or anybody that endorsed him. For sure,
10:48
Speaker 1: not afraid of the backlash whatsoever. And you're seeing that
10:50
Speaker 1: play out right now. We shouldn't be surprised at any
10:53
Speaker 1: of this. All means to make America wealthy again, because
10:56
Speaker 1: that's the plan. But it comes down to manufacturing. So
11:00
Speaker 1: he opened up the statement proof of that. Not given
11:03
Speaker 1: an f. He said, forget about the markets for a second.
11:05
Speaker 1: This wild people who have a lot of money in
11:07
Speaker 1: the stock market, who or who were trying to cash
11:08
Speaker 1: out here recently are going, what do you mean? Forget
11:10
Speaker 1: about the markets? It's all read that's got to rebound,
11:14
Speaker 1: rebound in bigger way. That's what he's telling us. Well,
11:17
Speaker 1: this is the long term game. And to get a
11:20
Speaker 1: better understanding of what that of all people, because we're
11:23
Speaker 1: all looking for explanations like what's this? What are we
11:25
Speaker 1: trying to gain from this? Really? We know we're getting
11:28
Speaker 1: ripped off. We know that manufacturing has to come back
11:30
Speaker 1: to the US. I mean, since I was a kid
11:33
Speaker 1: a child, the oldest thing I can remember about anybody
11:36
Speaker 1: talking about what I didn't even know was the economy
11:40
Speaker 1: at the time, was we got to start making things
11:41
Speaker 1: made in the USA again. Right, Well, here we are.
11:45
Speaker 1: Did we think it was going to be easy? Little drastic?
11:48
Speaker 1: All seems to be coming at once, for sure, But
11:50
Speaker 1: that's the game. And of all the people who explained
11:52
Speaker 1: this the best way, lo and behold, it was Marco Rubio,
11:56
Speaker 1: Secretary of State. I never, in my wildest dreams expected
12:00
Speaker 1: him to be so good at this job. Is hey, MVP?
12:03
Speaker 1: So far I think he might be. But anyway, best
12:05
Speaker 1: explanation of what's happening. If you want to wrap your
12:07
Speaker 1: head around this, like I am comes from Marco is.
12:11
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no.
12:13
Speaker 5: Their economies are not crashing. The markets are reacting. No,
12:16
Speaker 5: their economies are not crashing. Their markets are reacting to
12:19
Speaker 5: a dramatic change in the global order in terms of trade.
12:22
Speaker 5: And so what happens is pretty straightforward. If you're a
12:25
Speaker 5: company and you make a bunch of your products in
12:27
Speaker 5: China and all of a sudden, shareholders are people that
12:30
Speaker 5: play the stock market realize that it's going to cost
12:33
Speaker 5: a lot more to produce in China, your stock is
12:35
Speaker 5: going to go down. But ultimately, the markets as long
12:38
Speaker 5: as as long as they know what the rules are
12:40
Speaker 5: going to be moving forward, and as long as that
12:41
Speaker 5: sentenced and you can sustain where you're going to be,
12:44
Speaker 5: the markets will adjust businesses around the world, including in
12:47
Speaker 5: trade and global trade. They just need to know what
12:49
Speaker 5: the rules are. Once they know what the rules are,
12:51
Speaker 5: they will adjust to those rules. So I don't think
12:54
Speaker 5: it's fair to say economies are crashing. Markets are crashing
12:56
Speaker 5: because markets are based on the stock value of companies
12:59
Speaker 5: who today they are embedded in modes of production that
13:02
Speaker 5: are bad for the United States.
13:03
Speaker 1: I know that was long, but I kept it long
13:06
Speaker 1: for you guys to hear because even my little pea brain,
13:10
Speaker 1: even as simple as I am, that puts it in
13:13
Speaker 1: terms that I can understand. And you still may not
13:16
Speaker 1: like it. You're like, no, well, you know we need
13:18
Speaker 1: these trades, but I it's not proven. I don't know
13:20
Speaker 1: about that. But listen, it's kind of like the opposite
13:23
Speaker 1: of the hands off movement. There's an explanation to the madness.
13:27
Speaker 1: Now there's a method to it that we can understand,
13:29
Speaker 1: and I think it's right about that. By the way,
13:31
Speaker 1: the markets, it's kind of like right before an election,
13:34
Speaker 1: like the markets go down because they don't know exactly
13:36
Speaker 1: who the president is. Stock market just wants to know
13:39
Speaker 1: what the deal is so they can adjust from there.
13:41
Speaker 1: My guess is, don't ever take financial advice from me, please,
13:45
Speaker 1: or stock advice please. But I saw that and I said, yeah, okay,
13:48
Speaker 1: I think it's time to buy the dip. Of course,
13:50
Speaker 1: they're going to rebound. It's the long game. Unless and
13:53
Speaker 1: there are people like this guys. Unless you were planning
13:56
Speaker 1: on taking your money out like now, like this was
13:58
Speaker 1: your plan, like you were going to out now that's bad.
14:02
Speaker 1: I get that. But if not, it's the long term gain. Yeah. Sure,
14:06
Speaker 1: I looked at my four oh one K and that's
14:08
Speaker 1: a disaster too, and the stocks. But you're in for
14:12
Speaker 1: the long haul with that thing. I don't know. That
14:15
Speaker 1: to me makes sense, And it's true. We've all known.
14:18
Speaker 1: It's like ingrained. If you're anybody who's gen X like
14:21
Speaker 1: me and of my age, it's like it's a standard understanding.
14:24
Speaker 1: We've been ripped off for years of our manufacturing is
14:27
Speaker 1: going out the door, and of course that costs us
14:29
Speaker 1: in the long run. Of course, it costs jobs. It's
14:31
Speaker 1: benefiting every other country but US. That may change a
14:35
Speaker 1: couple of pieces, approve, and it's starting already. Ford just
14:40
Speaker 1: introduced employee pricing. That sweet deal Ford employees get. We're
14:43
Speaker 1: all gonna be able to get that now. GM just
14:45
Speaker 1: announced a major infrastructure investment in our country to build
14:50
Speaker 1: factories here. Hyundai just announced a major manufacturing plant that's
14:54
Speaker 1: coming here. So this stuff is actually starting. And those
14:56
Speaker 1: other countries, I did notice this, did you see Vietnam? Vietnam?
15:00
Speaker 1: Our countries may take advantage of this, just like smart
15:02
Speaker 1: people will take advantage of this. They're dropping all tariffs
15:05
Speaker 1: going the other way, you know, to us, because they
15:10
Speaker 1: want to be a big manufacturing base and take a
15:12
Speaker 1: lot of that away from Taiwan and China. Smart, really smart.
15:16
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's long term, long term gain,
15:20
Speaker 1: short term pain. That's my takeaway anyway. And you know
15:23
Speaker 1: what else solidified my opinion on this when I heard
15:26
Speaker 1: this guy. This was from Friday. But did you hear
15:29
Speaker 1: Jim Kramer on CNBC? Now, Jim Kramer is widely recognized
15:32
Speaker 1: as being wrong about everything. He's their stock analyst guy. Right,
15:36
Speaker 1: listen to this, and this is exactly what's wrong about
15:38
Speaker 1: people freaking out about the stock market. It's mostly people
15:41
Speaker 1: people who are big in the tech industry, and the
15:43
Speaker 1: finance bros and the you know those folks and the
15:47
Speaker 1: venture capitalists. They're all upset about this. Does that affect
15:49
Speaker 1: you and me long term? Here's Jim Kramer, Here's what
15:53
Speaker 1: he said. Jim's mad. Jim's mad because it's affecting his
15:55
Speaker 1: friends and himself.
15:57
Speaker 2: But only because I lived through eighty seven and in
16:00
Speaker 2: the end I came out Okay, I was seeing cash.
16:03
Speaker 2: I know what this feels like. Oh and if Europe
16:06
Speaker 2: moves against our fabulous tech companies next week, then I
16:08
Speaker 2: will be furious that.
16:10
Speaker 1: Jim Kramer's going to be furious. I heard that, honest
16:13
Speaker 1: to God. Like I always don't ever take stock advice
16:15
Speaker 1: from me or financial advice of any sort, but I
16:18
Speaker 1: heard that. I heard Jim Kramer's upset, and I said, yeah,
16:20
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be okay. Just as a rule of thumb,
16:26
Speaker 1: I hear Jim Kramer upset about something, I start to
16:28
Speaker 1: feel good.
16:28
Speaker 3: I do.
16:29
Speaker 1: I just he's been wrong so much. He's upset. Jim
16:32
Speaker 1: Kramer's upset because you're losing him money and his friend's money. Okay, Well,
16:37
Speaker 1: you didn't seem that guy didn't really care about small businesses.
16:39
Speaker 1: I never heard him upset about the small business shutdowns.
16:42
Speaker 1: He's only upset when the giant tech bros. And the
16:48
Speaker 1: finance guys are all upset. Right, he didn't care about
16:51
Speaker 1: small businesses. So Jim Kramer's upset.
16:53
Speaker 4: Good.
16:53
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good about things. I'm more confident than ever.
16:56
Speaker 1: All right, this is way to wrap up with this one.
16:57
Speaker 1: You remember Russell Brand, English comedian celebrity. He was with
17:02
Speaker 1: Katie Perry, that's her name. I couldn't remember that in
17:04
Speaker 1: the introduction. He was with her for a while. You
17:07
Speaker 1: may know he was in some movies. He's kind of
17:09
Speaker 1: a wacky kind of guy. But it admitted drug attic.
17:13
Speaker 1: He's recovering, that's right. An alcoholic, that's for sure. Had
17:15
Speaker 1: a wild wildlife. A good chance you haven't paid attention
17:19
Speaker 1: to him recently. Now is big on social media. He's
17:21
Speaker 1: got his own podcast in live stream. Obviously. Russell brand
17:24
Speaker 1: these days is very very very full boor Christian, I
17:31
Speaker 1: mean born again, talks about Christ, talks about the Lord
17:34
Speaker 1: all the time, and that's you know, that's that's his thing.
17:37
Speaker 1: A lot of people have suspected him of like changing
17:40
Speaker 1: his character because they knew what was coming, right. He's
17:42
Speaker 1: had these he's had these assault charges hanging over his
17:45
Speaker 1: head from the UK for years. That's one. Who am
17:49
Speaker 1: I to doubt somebody's religion or whatever. He seems seems
17:51
Speaker 1: earnest to me, that's all I know. And he, you know,
17:53
Speaker 1: talks about the power of Christ and everything and that's great. Well,
17:57
Speaker 1: those charges actually materialized Friday into the weekend and from
18:04
Speaker 1: the UK sexual assault charges and the r word charges,
18:09
Speaker 1: the big one from twenty five years ago, several women.
18:13
Speaker 1: I think it's four women involved from twenty five years ago.
18:16
Speaker 1: And I'll preface this by saying this before you hear
18:19
Speaker 1: his explanation, because it's one of the most unique I've
18:21
Speaker 1: ever heard. A preface this by saying, not only is
18:24
Speaker 1: he very very vocal about his Christianity, you know, an advocate,
18:30
Speaker 1: he's taken on corruption in especially in the UK, but
18:35
Speaker 1: also in the States and big he's taken on censorship,
18:38
Speaker 1: and he speaks out against big government, and he's spoken
18:42
Speaker 1: out against basically corruption of some big, big players. With
18:48
Speaker 1: that knowledge of what's happened to Russell Brandon, who he
18:50
Speaker 1: speaks out against. Now listen to his explanation. He did
18:54
Speaker 1: the standard thing. He said, thank you all for your
18:56
Speaker 1: support so much. Of course he denied all the charges.
18:59
Speaker 1: That's not me. I never did that, even tho it
19:00
Speaker 1: was a knucklehead twenty five years ago, he never said that.
19:04
Speaker 1: His explanation, al call it of defense is really unique
19:06
Speaker 1: because what did he do. He said, use this to
19:10
Speaker 1: question the corruption of the courts, especially you people in England.
19:13
Speaker 1: This is really unique.
19:14
Speaker 4: We're very fortunate in a way to live in a
19:16
Speaker 4: time where there's so little trust in the British government.
19:19
Speaker 4: We're very fortunate. I suppose that this is happening at
19:22
Speaker 4: a time where we know that the law has become
19:24
Speaker 4: a kind of weapon to be used against people, institutions,
19:29
Speaker 4: and sometimes entire nations that will not accept and tolerate
19:34
Speaker 4: levels of corruption that are unprecedented. And I'm speaking particularly
19:36
Speaker 4: to those of you that are watching in the UK,
19:39
Speaker 4: how do you feel about your legal system?
19:41
Speaker 1: Huh? Well, I don't know, and I don't know if
19:45
Speaker 1: we're ever going to know. I don't know enough about
19:46
Speaker 1: Russell Brand. They follow them on X you know, and
19:49
Speaker 1: I listen to it stuff because it's been an interesting transformation.
19:52
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's genuine. I think it is
19:56
Speaker 1: his you know, newfound Christianity, his faith. They believe that.
20:00
Speaker 1: I don't know too much about his background. I don't
20:01
Speaker 1: know whether these charges are real. I don't know whether
20:04
Speaker 1: anything's going to come from them or I don't know
20:06
Speaker 1: whether the guy's going to jail. I'm not too sure.
20:07
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way any of us can tell.
20:10
Speaker 1: All I know is one thing when you pay attention
20:12
Speaker 1: to people. What I know is people, and when somebody
20:17
Speaker 1: has charged of something that's twenty five years old, that's
20:22
Speaker 1: been hanging over his head for a while and comes
20:25
Speaker 1: at a time when he decides to take on big government,
20:28
Speaker 1: big corruption and censorship and speaks out against it in
20:31
Speaker 1: a very vocal way and has a massive following. I
20:36
Speaker 1: don't know. I just tend to get a little suspicious
20:38
Speaker 1: of the charges. I don't know either way, but that's
20:40
Speaker 1: how I look at those things. So we'll see. And
20:43
Speaker 1: that's a very interesting He talked about straight to the
20:46
Speaker 1: corruption of the courts that are charging him. I thought
20:48
Speaker 1: that was fascinating. All right, what a weekend, What a Monday?
20:52
Speaker 1: What a week we are heading into right now? Have
20:54
Speaker 1: a wicked awesome Monday. Again. The takeaway is just like
20:57
Speaker 1: this hands off movement. If you can't explain to me
20:59
Speaker 1: why you're upset, don't expect me to jump onto your
21:02
Speaker 1: cause we're all trying to We're all trying to understand
21:05
Speaker 1: what these protests were about, and nobody explained it clearly,
21:08
Speaker 1: so don't expect us to jump onto it. Second takeaway is,
21:13
Speaker 1: as always, don't take any crap from anybody. Most importantly,
21:16
Speaker 1: have a wicked awesome Monday, like I said, And don't
21:18
Speaker 1: forget wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams wherever you find social media, Facebook, YouTube,
21:22
