Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / Wicked Radio 7-14: Live Aid At 40!, Trump's Pissed, & The Autopen Scandal Grows
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: What are weekends one of those weekends where it seemed
- 0:06Speaker 1: like nothing was going on Newswiz of course your personal life.
- 0:10Speaker 1: I hope you had all kinds of good stuff going on,
- 0:12Speaker 1: but Newswise seemed like nothing was going on, and everything
- 0:16Speaker 1: was going on all at once. And the only time
- 0:18Speaker 1: this ever happens is when we have one big, huge, massive, controversial,
- 0:23Speaker 1: gross story that dominates the headlines, because then you get
- 0:26Speaker 1: all the splinter stories coming off of it. And yes,
- 0:28Speaker 1: I'm talking about the whole Epstein mess and you can't
- 0:30Speaker 1: avoid it. But you know, this thought came to me
- 0:33Speaker 1: yesterday while fishing. Most people like to chill out while fishing,
- 0:37Speaker 1: my mind doesn't stop turning. I know it's a problem.
- 0:39Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. But a couple of big takeaways for
- 0:42Speaker 1: this whole thing, and both of them I think are good.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I honestly really think. Who knows where this is going?
- 0:48Speaker 1: We really don't know, But I think there's a couple
- 0:50Speaker 1: of good takeaways for all of us, the normal people.
- 0:53Speaker 1: But aside from that, everybody's made. Everybody's mad demating answers
- 0:58Speaker 1: of the administration. Trump himself apparently is pissed off, and
- 1:02Speaker 1: people for asking questions I don't know. We'll get it
- 1:04Speaker 1: to that whole thing, but the takeaways might change the
- 1:08Speaker 1: way you look at this thing. I don't know. We'll see.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Also this the auto pen has reared its ugly head again,
- 1:15Speaker 1: not like it happened again, but now they're talking about it.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Who is talking about this is the story because there's
- 1:20Speaker 1: a big story about who was actually signing all those
- 1:23Speaker 1: pardons or what in the Biden administration. We'll talk about
- 1:26Speaker 1: that as well. A couple of big anniversaries to talk
- 1:28Speaker 1: about as well, though, including going back to Trump for
- 1:31Speaker 1: a second. Butler, Pennsylvania a year ago, yesterday, a year ago.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Sometimes I think about that scene and then I'm like,
- 1:38Speaker 1: think about what kind of world will we be living
- 1:41Speaker 1: in right now? And then I snap out of this nightmare.
- 1:43Speaker 1: If things hadn't turned out differently, and the fun side
- 1:46Speaker 1: of things, there was another big anniversary that happened on Sunday,
- 1:50Speaker 1: Live Aid, the Big benefit for Ethiopian famine relief Live
- 1:54Speaker 1: Aid and turned forty. That's right, that's right, my fellow
- 1:58Speaker 1: gen xers. We're a fit sually old, but that's all right.
- 2:01Speaker 1: It's all a good thing. Let's get to it. Thanks
- 2:03Speaker 1: for finding me. In the Wicked Radio live stream all
- 2:05Speaker 1: part of Wicked Wizard with Bill Adams on the socials
- 2:07Speaker 1: and the audio podcast and all that good stuff. Thanks
- 2:10Speaker 1: for the follows too, and put your notifications on. All right,
- 2:12Speaker 1: let's get to it first and foremost, let's get to
- 2:17Speaker 1: the Let's get the anniversaries first. On Sunday a year ago,
- 2:21Speaker 1: and sometimes I like I don't usually like to delve
- 2:24Speaker 1: into the memories of like that year ago Sunday, one
- 2:26Speaker 1: of those one of those events like the Challenger disaster,
- 2:29Speaker 1: and a lot of these events where you look back
- 2:31Speaker 1: and you say, I was I was at this place
- 2:33Speaker 1: when it happened, or when I heard the news. You know,
- 2:35Speaker 1: a lot of those are tragic events, and this was
- 2:38Speaker 1: one and could have been a lot worse. Even everybody
- 2:40Speaker 1: has a story about where you were a year ago
- 2:45Speaker 1: when you heard about the Butler Pennsylvania assassination attempt on
- 2:49Speaker 1: President Trump's life. He certainly remembers. This is what he
- 2:51Speaker 1: said about it yesterday. A lot of this audio today
- 2:54Speaker 1: from Trump is loud. Sorry, he was outside of Marine
- 2:56Speaker 1: one going to other events. He was going to that
- 2:58Speaker 1: World Cup thing. But this is this is his recollection
- 3:00Speaker 1: of it, and this is how his mindset works around
- 3:03Speaker 1: this event. God was protecting me, maybe because God wanted
- 3:08Speaker 1: to see our country you're better, won't do really well,
- 3:11Speaker 1: make America great again. But God was protecting me, Brian,
- 3:14Speaker 1: I'll tell you it's the more you think about it,
- 3:16Speaker 1: the more you see it. But no, I just I
- 3:21Speaker 1: don't like to think about it much. Yeah, I have
- 3:23Speaker 1: a job to do, so I don't like to think
- 3:25Speaker 1: about it much. I would look at it the same
- 3:27Speaker 1: way I think if I ever survived to scare that close,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and hopefully I don't have to, well, I mean, if
- 3:31Speaker 1: it comes to it, hopefully I do some day, but
- 3:33Speaker 1: I would I would look at it the same way.
- 3:34Speaker 1: How else can you? How else can you explain that?
- 3:37Speaker 1: Not to delve into it again, but we're millimeters away
- 3:40Speaker 1: from a completely different world. If you would survive that,
- 3:43Speaker 1: wouldn't you say the same thing. God was protecting me.
- 3:46Speaker 1: God was you know, your favorite President Trump? As a
- 3:49Speaker 1: you know, more eotistical way to say that, But wouldn't
- 3:52Speaker 1: you say it the same way one year ago? Though?
- 3:55Speaker 1: And man, what a different world it would be. Well
- 3:58Speaker 1: we're into this world now. It was a head line
- 4:00Speaker 1: this morning, the Epstein Mess won't go away because guess
- 4:03Speaker 1: who wants to talk now? But question how she was
- 4:07Speaker 1: able to get through and get some media on this?
- 4:09Speaker 1: Gee Lane Maxwell, who's any maximum security prison right now?
- 4:14Speaker 1: Another twisted angle of the whole Epstein mess. So here
- 4:17Speaker 1: you have the pimp Geelane Maxwell uh in for Epstein Island,
- 4:22Speaker 1: and god knows what else. Yet none of the Johns
- 4:25Speaker 1: ever got arrested. That was our first question right a
- 4:28Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Why she's well, she's in jail.
- 4:31Speaker 1: What are well now? Apparently she's gotten through to the media.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I don't know how a prisoner gets that kind of press,
- 4:36Speaker 1: but she doesn't. She says, I'd be more than willing
- 4:38Speaker 1: to go to before Congress and I would talk and
- 4:40Speaker 1: I would tell everything I know. Well that happened. I
- 4:43Speaker 1: really really doubt it. And are we gonna get to
- 4:46Speaker 1: get any answers on this? I really really doubt it.
- 4:50Speaker 1: But people are still asking questions, normal people like you
- 4:53Speaker 1: and me and everybody else. And I think that's a
- 4:55Speaker 1: good thing. And that's why I think this is not
- 4:56Speaker 1: going away. There's a couple of different takeaways on this. Again.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I thought of this in my downtime yesterday. Bass fishing
- 5:03Speaker 1: when you're supposed to be not thinking about anything. But
- 5:05Speaker 1: this is running through my head, for all of us,
- 5:08Speaker 1: for the normal people, right, not the politicians, not the
- 5:11Speaker 1: people in the media, god knows, not the people involved
- 5:14Speaker 1: in this whole mess. Normal people now that this scandal
- 5:18Speaker 1: is not going away. That's the first good thing. Keep
- 5:21Speaker 1: asking questions. That's a good thing. We talked about that
- 5:23Speaker 1: last week on the live stream. Here's the second. Here's
- 5:27Speaker 1: the first difference, right, You know that whole narrative, and
- 5:30Speaker 1: people would always try to tell you if you're a
- 5:32Speaker 1: Trump supporter, and I'm sure you've heard it a ton.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard it at family gatherings or at
- 5:38Speaker 1: work or whatever, Oh you just that Trump mega is
- 5:42Speaker 1: a you're in a cult. You just do anything he
- 5:45Speaker 1: says and you never push back. There goes that narrative
- 5:49Speaker 1: that's gone forever, because look at the pushback that's happening now, right,
- 5:53Speaker 1: all of it. In fact, there are headlines. There was
- 5:55Speaker 1: a headline in the Daily Mail from the UK Mega
- 5:59Speaker 1: meltdown pushing back against President Trump. So the next time
- 6:01Speaker 1: somebody says, oh, you just believe you take anything he
- 6:04Speaker 1: tells you to do, just point to this and say
- 6:08Speaker 1: I was upset about the Epstein thing, and so is
- 6:09Speaker 1: everybody else, so not really burnt. There goes that narrative,
- 6:14Speaker 1: and how many of those have been killed off in
- 6:16Speaker 1: the past year gone. You don't have to worry about
- 6:18Speaker 1: that anymore. But here's the other thing. Despite the fact
- 6:21Speaker 1: that the president's pretty pissed off apparently, and all of
- 6:23Speaker 1: us asking questions, good, I say, good, that's okay. You
- 6:29Speaker 1: need to push back every once in a while, because
- 6:31Speaker 1: if you realize we're overlooking something I think about this
- 6:34Speaker 1: whole thing. You realize if this is the first real,
- 6:40Speaker 1: nationally conscious topic we're all talking about at once, about
- 6:45Speaker 1: what used to be called the conspiracy theory, and you're thinking,
- 6:49Speaker 1: that's not true. I've been talking about the Epstein thing
- 6:51Speaker 1: for years now and all these other so called conspiracy theories. Well, yeah,
- 6:56Speaker 1: me too. But here's how we usually talk about him,
- 6:58Speaker 1: or I did anyway, family gatherings, maybe at a bar
- 7:03Speaker 1: with a buddy, text conversations. Everybody's got their own theories.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Those were all individual, little conversations we'd all have at once.
- 7:11Speaker 1: This thing, you could call it trending if you want,
- 7:14Speaker 1: but everybody's opinion and discussion about the Epstein thing all
- 7:17Speaker 1: coming at once, one national conversation at the same time,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and this is the first time, truly. It doesn't seem
- 7:26Speaker 1: like it. This is the first time truly, maybe because
- 7:28Speaker 1: of social media digital media, that this is all happening
- 7:32Speaker 1: at once, and we're overlooking this part and how good
- 7:35Speaker 1: that is. So we're gonna get any real answers on
- 7:38Speaker 1: this Epstein mess Probably not. Doesn't look that way, It
- 7:40Speaker 1: really doesn't. Probably not. In fact, my working theory is
- 7:43Speaker 1: anything we wanted to find out has been destroyed long ago.
- 7:46Speaker 1: That's my theory going into this. And you're probably the
- 7:49Speaker 1: questions are gonna linger on and on and on. I
- 7:51Speaker 1: get it. Don't forget about this part. Here's the good thing.
- 7:56Speaker 1: We're all talking about it at once, and you could
- 7:58Speaker 1: do this now because we're all inter connected. This isn't
- 8:01Speaker 1: even like five years ago, certainly not ten years ago.
- 8:04Speaker 1: It's harder to bury conversations about stuff like this now.
- 8:09Speaker 1: They're burying it, make no mistake, but not as fast
- 8:13Speaker 1: as they used to. So even on this topic, if
- 8:15Speaker 1: you never get the answers you want, you never get
- 8:17Speaker 1: the transparency you want on the Epstein disgusting mess. If
- 8:21Speaker 1: you keep asking questions like this and these topics become
- 8:24Speaker 1: part of a national conversation, Transparency's coming, maybe not on
- 8:28Speaker 1: this topic, but some others that are coming in the future.
- 8:31Speaker 1: They will if you keep pressing and keep asking questions.
- 8:35Speaker 1: And this is why it's so important that free speech
- 8:39Speaker 1: is here, especially in social media. This is why it's
- 8:43Speaker 1: so important. Even if you're mad at Elon that he
- 8:46Speaker 1: bought Twitter and turned it into X, that's why this
- 8:48Speaker 1: national conversation is so important. Yeah, I get it. It's frustrating.
- 8:52Speaker 1: People are upset. It's not the transparency we all wanted
- 8:55Speaker 1: and expected, and we're told what's coming during the campaign, right, well,
- 9:00Speaker 1: we all wanted that. I get that. But you keep
- 9:03Speaker 1: this conversation going, transparency will come. You're not gonna be
- 9:07Speaker 1: able to deny it anymore. It's harder and harder to
- 9:09Speaker 1: hide stuff or remember all these crimes happened before we
- 9:12Speaker 1: had this national conversation in social media escaping in mind.
- 9:16Speaker 1: That's a good thing. And that narrative that you're in
- 9:19Speaker 1: a cult if you support Trump, yeah, that doesn't hold
- 9:23Speaker 1: any water anymore, that's for sure. All right, Let's get
- 9:25Speaker 1: to it though, because I said it before the public
- 9:27Speaker 1: is mad because we want answers. This was, uh, this
- 9:31Speaker 1: was quite the move. This went from Trump saying, I
- 9:35Speaker 1: hear I would, I'm gonna get some answers for you.
- 9:38Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. Oh no, he took the opposite approach,
- 9:40Speaker 1: which was very interesting. He said. Basically, Trump was saying,
- 9:44Speaker 1: I support my team. What the hell are you asking
- 9:47Speaker 1: questions for in Epstein? And shut the hell up? Am
- 9:50Speaker 1: I far off? I mean, that's exactly what he was
- 9:52Speaker 1: saying Trump. This was an STFU from Trump over the weekend.
- 9:56Speaker 1: It was like it or not. It was let's go
- 9:59Speaker 1: so that I have it right, and I'm not going
- 10:01Speaker 1: to read the whole thing, but still, let's go to
- 10:03Speaker 1: It came on truth social of course, he's been very
- 10:06Speaker 1: active on truth these days. And the opening line should
- 10:09Speaker 1: have told you exactly how this is going to go.
- 10:11Speaker 1: What's going on with my boys and in some cases girls?
- 10:14Speaker 1: All right, right there, you gotta think, all right, he's
- 10:17Speaker 1: going to the loyalty thing again. They going after Attorney
- 10:20Speaker 1: General Pam Bondi, who's doing a fantastic job. We're all
- 10:23Speaker 1: one team, mega, I have a perfect administration. Talk of
- 10:26Speaker 1: the world, blah, blah blah, and you know they have ended.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So basically, this was Trump saying, shut up, I got this.
- 10:32Speaker 1: And I think this is the first time we're seeing
- 10:34Speaker 1: where Trump is a little bit out of touch with
- 10:35Speaker 1: how mad people really are. I mean, he might know
- 10:38Speaker 1: it now, but he can't come out and he's never
- 10:40Speaker 1: gonna come out and say I made a mistake. Let
- 10:42Speaker 1: me tell you everything I know, let me explain this
- 10:45Speaker 1: to you. He's not gonna do that. So the interesting
- 10:48Speaker 1: the approach is interesting. I think it is the first
- 10:50Speaker 1: time we've seen this. Maybe if when social media was around,
- 10:54Speaker 1: and this direct communication to the base was around, when
- 10:57Speaker 1: when Reagan was here, maybe we would have seen something
- 10:59Speaker 1: like this. You know, Ron Reagan would have been like,
- 11:02Speaker 1: you know, shut the hill up. I'll get to it. Maybe,
- 11:06Speaker 1: but I think, at least in our lifetime, I think
- 11:08Speaker 1: this is the first time that we've seen a president
- 11:11Speaker 1: say I got this. Why don't you focus on all
- 11:15Speaker 1: the good things that we're doing this administration. Shut up.
- 11:17Speaker 1: It's basically what he's saying. That's basically where he's going
- 11:21Speaker 1: on this. So interestingly enough, let's take it for what
- 11:25Speaker 1: it is and support of the misery. This is the
- 11:28Speaker 1: other rumor that was flying around late last week into
- 11:30Speaker 1: the weekend. Oh, he's gonna fire Pambondi. He has to
- 11:33Speaker 1: you know, all the talking heads, and now all the
- 11:35Speaker 1: talking heads have bled into their so called political influencers.
- 11:38Speaker 1: You know, Okay, Oh he's gonna fire Pambondi. It's the
- 11:41Speaker 1: it's the only way he's gonna get rid of Dan.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Bongino's gonna walk away. So is cash Betel, Yeah, I
- 11:47Speaker 1: don't think so. In fact, this is what he said
- 11:49Speaker 1: about Bongino loud again outside of Marine one. So oh
- 11:52Speaker 1: hi fisha I did. I spoke to him today. Dan
- 11:55Speaker 1: Bongino is very good guy. I've done him a long time.
- 11:59Speaker 1: I've done his show many times, and he sounded terrific. Actually, no,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I think he's in good shape. He's in good shape.
- 12:06Speaker 1: And now Trump saying somebody's in good shape, he doesn't
- 12:10Speaker 1: mean like physically, even though dan'say in a good shape
- 12:12Speaker 1: kind of guy. He's talking about good shape as far
- 12:14Speaker 1: as standing in the loyalty category for Trump. That's what
- 12:17Speaker 1: he means. I've heard literally tens of thousands of Trump
- 12:21Speaker 1: clips in my time. That's exactly what he means when
- 12:24Speaker 1: he says that guy's in good shape. He means he's
- 12:26Speaker 1: not going anywhere. So there goes that other rumor. You know,
- 12:29Speaker 1: all your favorite political influencers on their live streams and
- 12:33Speaker 1: podcasts saying that there's gonna be a big shake up. No,
- 12:35Speaker 1: there's not. No. Not well, maybe down the road because
- 12:38Speaker 1: it's a high burnout factor, but not because of this,
- 12:41Speaker 1: because Trump doesn't want to look bad. That's exactly what
- 12:43Speaker 1: it is. Here's the other thing that popped up. There's
- 12:44Speaker 1: another big story, and the story is who's reporting it.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to go to where the source comes
- 12:51Speaker 1: from to understand why they're talking about it. And in
- 12:53Speaker 1: this case, the New York Times today coming out with
- 12:57Speaker 1: an article about Biden's auto pen tells you everything you
- 13:01Speaker 1: need to know. Number one, it tells you they have
- 13:05Speaker 1: no patience whatsoever. The left wing media has no patience
- 13:08Speaker 1: whatsoever with the Bidens. They're done, done, done with them.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Anything they knew, they'll expose and they don't want to
- 13:15Speaker 1: be held accountable for this because I'm sure that they
- 13:17Speaker 1: knew about this when they were writing about all these
- 13:19Speaker 1: last minute pardons. Well, the New York Times article says
- 13:23Speaker 1: that Biden's auto pen confirmed for like the eighth time
- 13:29Speaker 1: was not from him, and it indeed was an autopen
- 13:32Speaker 1: and they can't account for all these signatures. All right, now,
- 13:37Speaker 1: that's interesting. Where's it going to go from here? I
- 13:39Speaker 1: don't know, But the takeaway is, I think a lot
- 13:45Speaker 1: of these media organizations are going to have to fess
- 13:48Speaker 1: up on what they know because of the whole Biden thing. Yes,
- 13:51Speaker 1: we all lived through a nightmare where basically we didn't
- 13:53Speaker 1: have a president. We really didn't. We had god knows
- 13:55Speaker 1: who was running this administration in the autopen and policy,
- 14:00Speaker 1: foreign affairs and everything else. But when you have media
- 14:03Speaker 1: outlets like The New York Times, I think CNN has
- 14:07Speaker 1: even come out pretty much admitting, you know, the whole
- 14:10Speaker 1: Jake Tapper thing, admitting that Biden's brain was just gone
- 14:12Speaker 1: for four years, all of that. When you have that
- 14:14Speaker 1: kind of stuff happening, you've got a media that is
- 14:19Speaker 1: way less likely likely to be held accountable for this
- 14:21Speaker 1: stuff in the future. Meaning although'll still lie to you,
- 14:25Speaker 1: sure absolutely, but they know they're on the hot seat,
- 14:28Speaker 1: so at least for a little while. And that's the
- 14:30Speaker 1: good thing. Because the media has been tied to the
- 14:34Speaker 1: lives of that previous administration hand in hand and they
- 14:37Speaker 1: know that, so they're trying to the reason why they're
- 14:39Speaker 1: coming out with a story about like the autopen right
- 14:41Speaker 1: now is so they don't look bad because of course
- 14:43Speaker 1: they knew about all this stuff. So that was interesting.
- 14:45Speaker 1: But the auto pen apparently was real. Where that goes,
- 14:49Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess that's up to the uh
- 14:52Speaker 1: current administration to crack down audit or not or can
- 14:55Speaker 1: you reverse these last minute pardons for the people in
- 14:59Speaker 1: the intelligence community and Hunter himself, And we'll see, We'll
- 15:04Speaker 1: see where it goes. But the media knows, they know
- 15:08Speaker 1: for sure. That's why they're fessing up right now. All right,
- 15:10Speaker 1: let's get to some fun stuff, because that's been very swampy.
- 15:13Speaker 1: My god, you can't get you can't get swampier than
- 15:15Speaker 1: stories about an auto pen and the Epstein miss. Let's
- 15:19Speaker 1: get out of that for a second, because I think
- 15:20Speaker 1: we've learned all we need to learn. Here's another anniversary
- 15:23Speaker 1: that happened. Interesting two things, Butler Pennsylvania, Trump surviving that
- 15:30Speaker 1: assassination attempt on Sunday, the one year anniversary, and also
- 15:35Speaker 1: on Sunday the fortieth anniversary, fortieth anniversary of Live Aid.
- 15:41Speaker 1: That's right, gen Xers. That's right. Kids of the eighties
- 15:44Speaker 1: like me. We're all We're all up there, that's for sure.
- 15:47Speaker 1: But one of the first big, not international festivals as
- 15:51Speaker 1: far as my musical knowledge goes, first of one I
- 15:53Speaker 1: can remember though, that happened in two cities simultaneously and
- 15:55Speaker 1: broadcast around the world. Remember it was Philly and it
- 16:00Speaker 1: was in London. Here's here's a little piece of that.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Early on. Remember the band Simple Minds, This is good.
- 16:06Speaker 1: A kid, as a I'm going, well, I never I
- 16:11Speaker 1: wanted to put this on the whole organization. This is cool.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Don't you forget about me. I remember watching it. It
- 16:20Speaker 1: was really cool. I was wondering as a kid, and
- 16:22Speaker 1: so I was fifteen at the time, that's how old
- 16:23Speaker 1: I am. I remember thinking how they're gonna pull this
- 16:26Speaker 1: off in two stadiums, and then MTV was shown it
- 16:29Speaker 1: live and I think that, you know, I got worldwide
- 16:30Speaker 1: news coverage. The cause or the benefit back in the
- 16:34Speaker 1: day you might remember, was for Ethiopian famine relief. That
- 16:37Speaker 1: was that was the big cause, and they rebly get
- 16:39Speaker 1: all of these bands together for some legendary performances. You
- 16:43Speaker 1: might remember the Queen one with Freddy Mercury, one of
- 16:47Speaker 1: his It might have been his last live performance. Legendary,
- 16:50Speaker 1: just epic, and it was kind of like portrayed in
- 16:52Speaker 1: that uh Freddy Mercury movie, the Queen movie and all
- 16:55Speaker 1: the other things that happened. But I think it changed
- 16:58Speaker 1: live festivals forever in how they're covered. Flash forward to
- 17:02Speaker 1: something that happened just a couple of weeks ago, and
- 17:04Speaker 1: I was talking about it before too, Remember the Black Sabbath,
- 17:06Speaker 1: Back to the Beginning festival with all those other hard
- 17:10Speaker 1: rock and heavy metal bands. All of these events now
- 17:14Speaker 1: raise massive amounts of money ever since Live Aid case
- 17:18Speaker 1: in point. So it turns out this back to the
- 17:21Speaker 1: Beginning thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, it
- 17:23Speaker 1: has now raised hundreds of millions of dollars, apparently for
- 17:27Speaker 1: a couple of different charities, most of them in Europe,
- 17:30Speaker 1: I guess because it was in Birmingham for Parkinson's, because
- 17:34Speaker 1: Ozzie has Parkinson's. Other charitable events, I think underprivileged kids
- 17:39Speaker 1: events whatever. Live Aid changed everything, And there are other
- 17:42Speaker 1: big events before that. You might remember, remember George Hart
- 17:45Speaker 1: this was the seventies. I think George Harrison's Bangladesh concert
- 17:48Speaker 1: again for famine relief, but never really got the kind
- 17:51Speaker 1: of attention that this did. Live Aid forty years ago
- 17:54Speaker 1: picked up the steam for all of these events and
- 17:57Speaker 1: the coverage they get, and it's almost and this is
- 18:00Speaker 1: a good thing, I guess. It's almost like if you
- 18:02Speaker 1: put on a music event that big, it has to
- 18:05Speaker 1: benefit some sort of a charitable cause. Now it has to,
- 18:09Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. But forty years ago, Wow,
- 18:13Speaker 1: where does the time? I know we always say it,
- 18:15Speaker 1: but where does the time go? I'll say this though
- 18:18Speaker 1: maybe it's just by his thinking. Gen Xers, my fellow
- 18:21Speaker 1: gen xers us in our fifties, it's not like our
- 18:23Speaker 1: parents in our fifties. They really were old. We're not
- 18:27Speaker 1: we're you know, we don't age, right, right, That's that's
- 18:31Speaker 1: what we'll tell ourselves, all right. The big takeaway couple
- 18:33Speaker 1: of them regarding I know, this whole Epstein mess. We're
- 18:36Speaker 1: all sick of it and everybody apparently is angry. Remember
- 18:39Speaker 1: this takeaway that narrative of oh, you're in a Trump cult.
- 18:42Speaker 1: You listen to whatever he says and you never push back.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Bo that's gone. And the second thing is, don't forget
- 18:47Speaker 1: about this don't forget that it's a good thing that
- 18:50Speaker 1: this national conversation is happening and demanding answers may not
- 18:54Speaker 1: get the answers in this one on this particular issue,
- 18:57Speaker 1: but these kinds of conversations happen again. It's parency is coming.
- 19:01Speaker 1: It's a good thing, and we're all overlooking that, all right,
- 19:05Speaker 1: And don't feel old even though Live aid was forty
- 19:07Speaker 1: years ago. God extra fining the live stream, Wicked Radio livestream.
