  Speaker 1: You know, I think after following this kind of stuff
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for so long, I don't think I've personally seen the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: kind of fires that those poor people in southern California
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: are going through. But those people are also seeing the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: exact same thing. They haven't seen anything like that. But
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: from our perspective, for people that don't live there, it's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: hard for us to understand exactly what they're going through.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But I think I think anyway, we're starting to get
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: an understanding of what they've been saying, what people who
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: have had no voice for years and years and years
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: have said about the danger of these fires. Right, we'll
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: definitely get into this and give you anupdate on what's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: going on there, the acres that are fired, how fast
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that happened out there. But also this, to me, is
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the real story. I don't think. I don't think anyway.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not good at this prediction thing. But I don't
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be such a rush to blame
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: this on climate change this time, because people have had enough,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I said, and they had the headline there.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: The outrage is burning hotter than the flames out there,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and people who have worn for years about fire mitigation,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the whole issue about the power polls, the power lines
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: out there, to try to bury those and to try
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to get that done completely ignored as California's Southern California
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: resources went to something else. And also the insurance industry
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: under attack for this now as well. It's a mess
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: all the way around. But obviously thoughts and prayers for
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: those folks because that is just absolutely brutal. But they're
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: speaking out and I don't think things are going to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: be the same after all this. We'll get into that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: as well as well as the Gulf of America. I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: just I just love this. You know, Trump was speaking,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: did a big press conference, and he obviously covered a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: lot of topics yestory. It goes without saying that I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: keyed in on him calling it the Gulf of America
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and renaming that. I just I can't explain to you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: how much I love this. I don't know what's gonna
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: happen with that, whether it's gonna come true, but just
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the fact that he actually said it is just amazing.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We'll get into that as well, and the reaction from
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, other world parties about everything going on around there,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and this also will wrap it up today with a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: story about a nine year old kid, that's right, nine
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: years old, who got a tattoo in Arizona. I may
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: be the only person in the world actually defending the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: tattoo artist. I'll explain. I'll explain why, because the whole
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: story here is the parents were fully behind this. Anyway,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we'll get into that as well. All right, thanks for
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: finding a wicked radio. I appreciate you so much. Hopefully
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you're safe and sound, especially California people. Good lord, what
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: an absolute disaster. The audio podcast available wherever you get them.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: My ex followers, my ogs, get verified. It's worth it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, get verified on x your whole world
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to be different. You talk about free information, it's just
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the universe opens up a week and find on there
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and this obviously lives as a replay on there and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Facebook and YouTube whatever. All right, let's get into it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I like you, was shocked at how fast this California
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: blaze happened. What early yesterday our time, Eastern time yesterday
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: started just hearing for the first time, I mean the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: live stream yesterday, no one was talking about California fire.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's how quickly this stuff can spread. The first time
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I had seen anything about. It was a news report,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I open up X speaking
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of that, and I see this report about cars being
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: bulldozed out of the road in Pacific Palisades. In fact,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: here's the news story. Listen to this.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to take.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You you're alive right now, So pr specific Palisades. All
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of these cars were fitched, so all of the driver's panic,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: they took their keys. This is Talisades Drive as well
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: as Sunset Boulevard. This dozer is just moving these vehicles
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: out of the way.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: So if this is your car, unfortunately, it's an emergency
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: situation and this is.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: What they have to do. They are moving the cars
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: as we speak. I understand what it even was at first,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: because nobody had even heard this place. That's how fast
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: this blew because that Santa Ana wins apparently are some
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of the worst they've seen in over two decades, which
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: made this even worse. So they're bulldozing cars out of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the way. That should give you a pretty good idea,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: give us a good idea of how fast this happened.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: People were on the road when evacuations were ordered and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they were stuck and trapped there on the road. They
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't get cars by, left their cars, took the keys,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: which was stupid, but listen, who's gonna blame them in
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a panic and started running out of the area, so
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that the entire highway the roadway was blocked. So they're
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: bringing bulldozers to plow them out of the way. Good god,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: if that doesn't tell you this situation. So then probably,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: like you following the story, I'm like, my god, this
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is this is escalating horribly fast. And then one of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: my favorite people out there that I love to follow
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is actor James Woods, Jimmy Woods. I think he's great,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and then I see this. This really it bothered me
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that I see a video from him as he's about
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to evacuate, Uh, overlooking because he's got a lot of money,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: overlooking on his property from his patio. How quickly the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fire was spreading and see he was about to get
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And here's what really bothered me, A cool calm character
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that in the panic in his voice that you can hear.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: This bothered me. Here's James Woods live yesterday.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Standing in my drive by.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You're getting ready to evacuate.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: You've got a lot of planes going over dropping water.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But shit, jeez, I don't know if you picked that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: up at the end there even he said, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you didn't see his face, but you heard it in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: his voice. That's panic. And he said shit because apparently
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he's also talking about and following up on post from him,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: because then I'm concerned. It's like, he's one of my
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: favorite actors, and I'm like, is he okay? Is everybody
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: else okay? He said his house was okay eventually, you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: damage around it, obviously, but he went made it a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: point to post that he overlooks on his property a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: lot of you know, other neighborhoods obviously, but elementary schools,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and I think there was a hospital nearby. Just a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: terrible situation. He wrapped it up by posting this. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: think it was a few hours later. We were blessed
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to have LA Fire and police departments doing their jobs,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: so well, we're safe and out. Several elementary schools there,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you goo, in our neighborhood, and there was an enormous
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: community effort to evacuate the children safely. That's right. This
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: was during school hours. Good god, I didn't even think
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: about that. Cannot speak more highly of the LA Fire
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and LAPD which get a lot of criticism, But honestly,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you can maybe at the top,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: but the actual people, like he said there in his video,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: dropping water on those flames, or evacuating people, even the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: people with the bulldozers getting the cars out of the way.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you criticize the rank and file
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of a fire or police department or first responders in
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the jobs that they do. Those people are incredible. It's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: like most people we're not like designed for that. First
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: responders run too danger. They're incredible. Thank God for them
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and thank God for the work they're doing out there.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: But like I said, it's tough for us to understand
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: if you don't live in that state the criticism that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: been percolating up for You're talking decades now about fire
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: mitigation out there. Here's what's different. Yeah, sometimes sadly it
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: takes a disaster to get those voices heard. But also
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we talk about it all the time in this live stream.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Free information now obviously is there, but I have never it,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: maybe because it's the fire is that bad. I've never
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: seen or heard the kind of outrage from everybody out there,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Like what's happening right now, So I would say, like
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm not good at this prediction thing, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I would venture to guess this is going to be
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: an enormous after all of this. Hopefully they're safe after
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: all of this. An enormous amount of criticism Levy Dad,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, their state legislature, their environmental protection agencies out there,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the insurance industry because there have been millions of people,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: millions of California residents that got completely ignored, who have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: talked about fire mitigation, getting rid of brush every single year,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: which is not getting done, protecting certain homes in certain
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: areas obviously, and also the insurance industry. Listen to this story.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: This is absolutely heartbreaking. One of the news crews, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: don't know which one, I'm not familiar with them in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: La one of found this lady and ran over to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: her to try to get the story because despite an
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: evacuation order, she says, she snuck in to try to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: do what she could to save her parents' house, unsuccessfully.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: By the way, her parents are in their nineties. But
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the outrage at the insurance industry kind of like people
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: are outraged at the health insurance industry. Listen to this story.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: They don't have Their house is gone and they're not
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: gonna get any money for they're.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Ninety years old that they've had. They've lived in this
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: house for seventy five years and they've had the same
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: insurance and these insurance people decided to cancel their fire
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and we're going through this and it does happen and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: they have no fire insurance.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, that's it's just kind of come to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: after this, after these flames finally died down, please God,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and people are hopefully safe after that. Good luck, good
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: luck with the environmental is saying this is climate change
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: because people not gonna hear it now, most people, because
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it's an amazing thing about a horrorfying disaster like this.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It affects everybody, no matter who you vote for, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: everybody's mad at this. There may be some massive changes
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: at this. They've called for fire mitigation and protecting these
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: power lines. It's a whole other issue. And their policy
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: about cutting people's water off for years now. You know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I saw this as well. You know, outrage from residents
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: are saying, do what you can to protect this is
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: from the state, do what you can to protect your
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: home and water your plants outside and try to cover
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: people reacting directly right away, saying with what they cut
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: off the water supply when you do this at most
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: neighborhoods in southern California that in the power polls. Now,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: listen to this. Here's an other couple of people. Now. Granted,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I'll set this up by telling you these are two
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: prominent people, so they do have a bigger voice, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: they also have money. Adam Carolla, comedian, he was talk
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: show host. He's got a big podcast now. He reacted
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to this with a picture outside of his studio of well,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it's charred, but also the power line snapped in half.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: The concern about the power lines, obviously is you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: cuts off power in the fire obviously, so people can't
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you know, use that. But it also I guess the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: transformers will explode and on the on the outside power
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: line the power poles, and that spreads the fire even
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: faster with the winds, says I did twenty minutes on
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: today's show about why in twenty twenty five are still
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: dealing with this, Why they can't in the put him
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: into ground, and he said, and this pick is from
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: five hours later, two hundred feet from my studio, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it's I know you can't see this, but it's just charred.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Guy reacted to that. Who I think knows him, Joe
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: bonamassa great guitarist, great guy. I've interviewed him. He added
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this to that post from Adam Carolla. I tried to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: bury my power lines around my house. The city denied
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: me over and over. I offered to pay the full
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: cost myself, saying I'm not doing it for cosmetic reasons.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It's for fire mitigation. That's another thing they've tried for years.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: It's to bury the power lines. And again, people outside
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of that eight don't really understand it. And I'll say this,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I can speak personally to what they've done in Florida.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Florida Power and Light has done a great job since
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: about two thousand and four after hurricanes, massive effort underway
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to put as many as they can power lines underground
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to get that done. I give them credit for that.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: California went in a different direction. They didn't. There's still
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: so many power polls out there that are just sitting
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: ducks in a fire situation like that. Again, the outrage
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: is there, and I don't all the usual characters, the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: usual suspects that come out after a disaster, and they
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: prey on this to push the climate change thing. Uh uh.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they're going to be shouted
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: down this time, but we shall see. Just you left
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: with this, you just hope they're going to be okay,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you really do. All right, it's get out of that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: for a second. We'll update you as we go. But
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: how about this, I would like to I don't know
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: about the geopolitics of this. I don't really know about that.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by it and I love it so much
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: because just as a communicator, I love the messaging, you know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: That's what That's what I always key in on. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: when Trump comes out with a press conference like this
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and a statement like this, I'm just gonna I'm just
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: gonna play it for you because I literally laughed out
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: loud and I'm still laughing about it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be changing the name of the Gulf of
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: What a beautiful name.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I can't it's just such a it's just such a bold,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: bombastic statement, and I think that's what makes me laugh
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: about it. And I think, you know, again, I don't know.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: We'll find out what the real reasons. We'll find out
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: soon enough. If you're gonna be able to be successful
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: with this, like who gets to name this? Who doesn't.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I guess if you're a patriotic American and you're in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you're America first, you're saying, yeah, this is good. This
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: is American expansionism, right. This is like it's like him
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: saying we're gonna buy Greenland or you know, we're gonna
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: make Canada the fifty first state. It's an aggressive country,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: as I guess you want to see. But it's just
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it's just the statement that he made. And I think
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I think what he's trying to get at is America
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is back in business, baby, and we are. We are
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the power, you know, We're the ones controlling the destiny
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of this part of the world, in fact, the entire
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: world over. That's why it made me laugh so much.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I you know, then I started thinking, well, think of
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: how many globes and maps you'd have to change, and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I think can't. I think Mexico already reacted to this
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: with outrage the whole world. Does he does this on
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: purpose to get that kind of an outrage reaction? Again,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: what do we know from Trump? I don't know about
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the I don't know about the end game. But going
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: back from even when he wrote Art of the Deal,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: what does he do says something outrageous, reaches for the moon,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: which gets pushed back on and he says, okay, well
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: except something just short of the moon. So I think
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: this is just a statement statement he's trying to make it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Like with the Greenland thing. Do you see that they said,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Don Junior over there, scope out the layla of lands,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: talk to the talk to the politicians in Greenland. And
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: then they sent all all the posts and the memes
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and the Trump Tower in Greenland and you know, every
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: turning at gold and all that stuff. Again, with that
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: out of know what's going to happen. But it's a
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: statement from the leader of the free world saying we're
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: back and we're stronger than ever. And I think really
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: what this is about is probably strengthening a border closer
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to Russia. We'll let the we'll let the geopolitical experts
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: chime in on that one. But all I know is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the statement Trump's making is a statement of strength, That's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: what he's saying. But speaking of strength, I don't know
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: if you caught this, the whole Canada making Canada a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: fifty first state thing. I remember he was mocking. He
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: basically mocked Trudeau out of office. You know, he's a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: he's a fine governor of the great state of Canada, right,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: remember when that happened, And sure enough Trudeau resigned just
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the other day. Well, the guy that's coming in, hopefully
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is actually awesome. His name is Pierre Pauliev. He's a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: he's a strong leader. Common sense is what he's running on.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And you got to hope that the poor people of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Canada get that guy in and fix their economy and
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: society and censorship issue and all that stuff. We had
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a great statement yesterday that was actually pushed back on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: by Trump himself. This Pierre Poulief guy made a statement
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I think he just wrote it, and he said something
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to the effect of, we will never become anybody's fifty
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: first state. I will make us strong again, and we're
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: strong Canada, and we're on our own. And I thought,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: probably deep down Trump said the same thing. Good for him,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Good because that guy should be what Canada first, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the leader of I don't know, Thailand should be Thailand first,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, Greenland first. Whatever. If you're elected to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: represent your people, represent your people in that other world concerns,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you should represent your people. So I thought that, you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that guy in Canada was pretty good. I know Trump
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: said the statement. He goes, I don't get what he says.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: They're going to be a state again. I think this
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: is a Trump move. He's shooting for the moon something
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: ridiculous in hopes of getting something just short of that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think anyway, you know, again, let's let the geopolitical
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: experts chime in on that. But I think what he's doing,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: just reading the tea leaves, he's trying to say that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: we should be a huge echon force and power joined
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: together as forces us in Canada, I think. Anyway, I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see, or maybe he really does want
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to make it the fifty first date. Who knows, but
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm still laughing at the Gulf of America. That's just awesome.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: That.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen, though, but we know, yeah,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: who knows, We'll see. All right, let's wrap it up
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: by saying this, I'm the only guy in America speaking
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of that, maybe North America, maybe the world who's defending
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: this tattoo artist in Arizona. All right, here's the gist
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of the story. And here's why I think this guy
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: is getting a bad rap in Arizona. As I've learned,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you can be I think it's under fifteen and get
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a tattoo if you're in with your parents in there
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: and they're allowing it. All right, So that leads us
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to this story. In Youma, Arizona, wasn't there. It wasn't
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: there a cowboy movie about that? In Youma, Arizona, there
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: was a nine year old who got a tattoo with
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: her parents' permission. Yes, that is ridiculous. I'm with you there.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Let's start off there, let's find some common ground. I'm
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: with you there. Nine year old should not get tattoos
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: of any kind. Here's how it's different though, Right with
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the parents, she walked into this place wanting a trump
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: neck tattoo. All right, nine years old, with the parents' permission,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: maybe even pushed by the parents. I have no idea
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a trump neck tattoo. The tattoo artist who's getting all
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the heat for this push back on that right, and said, okay,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I can't, I can't do that right, but talked her down,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: talked them down into at nine years old a shoulder
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like a side shoulder American flag tattoo, which is still
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: catching a lot of heat because it's still at the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: end of the day, a nine year old getting a tattoo.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Key part is with the parent's permission. All right, I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: totally understand that, and I get that. First of all,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: let's go to just the general reaction of somebody in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the tattoo industry as well as I guess the news
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: cruising Yuma, I don't know Yuma News nine whoever it was,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: got reaction from people, and it's the reaction is typical
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and all the iron the outrage is fate is being
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: directed at the tattoo artist without I think, thinking and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: understanding the entire story. But here's the reaction.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: It is one of the.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Most frustrating things about our career field. If you see
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: a ten year old child with a professional looking tattoo
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: and they said they got it a tattoo shop, that
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: kind of degrades us as a whole.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't let him, my daughter underage get any tattoo.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: No way, No, No, that's crazy.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: No, I don't agree. I think they should wait a while.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I think if you let your teenagers do what they want,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: they slowed it down on it quicker.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: If you tell them they can't, they're gonna find a
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: way and they're gonna do it three times.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you, lady. They don't teenagers let
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: me do it three times. And she's right about that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: If you're a parent like me who's had kids, it's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: absolutely right because they'll rebel against it and they'll do it.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing sold the parents. Let's remember the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: key element of the story here, the nine year old
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: who got the tattoo and it wound up being a
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: shoulder American flag tattoo. Right, even though everybody's mad at
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the tattoo artist, full approval with the parents. Okay, that's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: point number one. Here's why I think the tattoo artist
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: is getting a bad rap. And I get it. I'm
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the only person in the country who's defending this guy.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: He talked them down. Let's remember off a Trump neck tattoo. Okay,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: at nine years old. What the parents were fully in
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: favor of nine. All right, Now, the tattoo artist realized.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I think, just like that lady at the end, sid
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: they gotta do it three times. Well, so the parents
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: is what are the odds? And I think the tattoo
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: artist understood this, I really do. If he didn't give
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: them some sort of tattoo and talk them down from
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a Trump neck tattoo to a side shoulder American flag tattoo,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. And I bet you he was too,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that they'd go to somebody else and somebody would do
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it and this kid would have a Trump neck tattoo.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I don't care this, it's Trump. Any neck tattoo at
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a nine year old. It sounds like pretty good situation
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: mitigation to me. You know, I don't know. I know
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the guy's getting a bad rap because he did give
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a tattoo to a nine year old, but it could
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: have been a lot worse, and I think he realized that.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: So I get it. I'm the only guy on earth
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: defending the tattoo artist, but I think he handled the situation.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: You know, that's just me. But yeah, nine year old
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: shouldn't get tattoos. God, all right, let's pray for the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: people in California and hope that they find a situation
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: out there that's that's suitable going forward, because what they
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: got right now that ain't happening. All right. More on that, well,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk about tomorrow. Let's hope those flames
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: died now. And I forget about the audio podcast that's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: posted usually about a half hour after you wrap up
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: here and live on as a as a replay here
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in the live stream on Facebook YouTube. Not much happening
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: there and also on X mainly and get verified on X.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: It's worth And I'm telling you main takeaway, man put
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: up with even if you're even if you're just a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: low residents, you have a voice, and that's what those
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: California residents are gonna do. You speak up in the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: future here, and I think it's what we're gonna see
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in that situation. And kind of tied to that, like
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: always don't take an a craft from anybody. With that said,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: have an awesome, a wicked awesome midweek and we'll talk
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to a problem
