Wicked Radio 11-18: Internet Down!, Epstein Victims Not To Be Forgotten, & Stranded Chinese Astronauts · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Testing, testing, is this thing on? As they used to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: say back in radio days. Internet outage mostly on X
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: but I did notice it on a couple of other
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: sites by the way, so that wasn't the only one effected.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: But boy, the hardcore X users and posters and news sites,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: they were in a panic this morning trying to figure
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: out what was going on. So we'll see. But like
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I always say, if you're listening to the audio only
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: podcast version a little bit later on, or you're watching
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on a replay later, you're like, this doesn't affect me.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I watched this anyway, and most of you,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: by the way, watch Wicked Radio on the replay on
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: X later on anyway. So there's been a big outage.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while this happens. It's like a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: reminder to all of us where we are in this stuff.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: We're so electronic dependent. I mean, back at radio days,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you know, my whole adult life was on radio, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: there was always something wrong. There was always something broken,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: there was a tower down, it was interference, there was something.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So I'm kind of used to that. But boy, or
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we dependent on electronics absolutely amazing. So I don't know
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: what happened overnight. X was down all sites, and then
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the mobile version came up, and then the desktop version
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: was down again. It who knows, But anyway, I'll replay
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: this later on if you didn't get a hold of it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Not only that, we also have this to talk about today.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I know you're sick and tired. I am too of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the Epstein story, and I get it. I totally understand it,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but you got to start to look at it this way.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You're sick of it. I'm sick of it. But you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: know who's forgotten in all of this. The victims are
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: forgotten in all of this. And they finally had their
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: chance to speak last night. I got to tell you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it was pretty impactful. Now, they didn't have a press conference.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It was a pre recorded, pretty well produced, I will say,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: PSA that aired during Monday night football. It was about
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I think a minute. I've got a clip of that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to show you. That was something else. There's another reminder
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of all the disgusting details that have come this. We
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: all know about him. We're all tired of hearing about it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: We're tired of hearing about file, We're tired of the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: politics on this. But I will tell you what. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: think we owe it to them really as a society,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: as a country, I think we owe it to them
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: as patriots to give these girls, these victims, their due
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and their say. I really truly believe that. I do
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: believe that it's time. I'll play a little clip of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that for you to talk about that as well. But
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: there is another development on this whole thing. And I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: know we're sick of hearing about it. But once we
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: get through this, like Trump says, good, release it all.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: We get all the information out there. Whatever. Fine, there
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: was another element of this. This is fascinating. There's a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: reason why none of the politicians were talking about this
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: story yesterday, none of them because one of theirs was
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: revealed by the Washington Post. Of all people to have
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: been texting Epstein during a hearing, this is the Michael
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Cohen hearing, remember that when they pulled him before a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee hearing. We'll talk about her as well,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but let me get to let me get to the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: most impactful thing from last night. Again, during Monday night
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: football and usually PSAs are out there and people tune
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it out. I would bet you a lot of people
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: saw this. We're all sick of the Epstein story, all
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of us. But I think we owe it to give
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: them their due. Here's the PSA they aired last night.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: You just got a little clip of it to play
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for you. Now, this is me, this was me, this
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is me when I met Jeffrey Epstein.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: This is me when I met Jeffrey Epstein. There are
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: about a thousand of us.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's time to shine a light into the darkness. They
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: got there and there was a bunch of the victims
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and what they wanted to say was, there's thousands of us,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: let our story be heard. And basically at the end
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they had, you know, a text message on there at
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the screen that said release everything. Well, it looks like
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they will for sure, because now you've got this story
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to add to the element. Now you've got Stacy Plaskett,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: representative from the Virgin Islands. I know I forget sometimes
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: too that they have a like representatives, but they do.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So now she's a focal point of the story. And
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this is the gross part of it. This is the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: part of it that takes away from the story of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the victims. You know, they had their saying let's not
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: forget them was a good reminder for everybody. This goes
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: back into the gross politics of this entire thing, where
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you have her apparently texting with Jeffrey Epstein and this
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is revealed, and they've always known about this, but now
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it's actually coming to light from of all places, the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Washington Post. Will Caine on Fox did it could a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: pretty good breakdown. Let me try to play his clip
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: right now to try to explain it for everybody.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: On a morning of the hearing where the House was
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: questioning Michael Cohen, Plaskett was communicating with Jeffrey Epstein. To
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: be clear, this is years and years after he was
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: convicted in two thousand and eight of soliciting a minor.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Plaskett was texting with Epstein that morning, the morning of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the hearing that was aired on CSPAN. She texted with Epstein,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: he'll talk about his grades. Epstein responded, what privilege stands
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: behind the non release of college transcripts? He then says,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: great outfit, you look great, all caps plus.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: God, And of course is when he was alive, before
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: he was unalived. So now you have a representative in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Congress during live during this hearing, as he's coaching her
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: on what to say in the oversight hearing of Michael
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Cohen this story and I get it. I know you're
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: sick of it. I am too, but this thing could
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not get any grosser. But that's the politics of it again,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just going back to that PSA last night from the victims.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: That's why this story is going to continue. It's why
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I kind of has to continue because of them. We
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: can't forget about their story. But this isn't a news story,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: which is maybe the most amazing thing of all. This
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is a C SPAN interview. You Now, sometimes they have
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: politicians and maybe some administration members go on c SPAN
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and they have like a little I guess it's like
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: an interview, but like a little live chat. This is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three and just some random dude from New
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Mexico chimes. They take live calls apparently, which is amazing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to me, probably unscreened because it's c Spann and I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: don't even know if they have a budget. Somebody actually,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: this guy actually asks her this is twenty twenty three,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: about her involvement with Epstein, and I guess it was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the Financial Times. I think that's what he said at
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the time, knowing full well he was in contact with
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: her during that year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Does representative of Plaska have anything to say? Business Insider
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: has reported on this as recently as I believe July
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein in twenty
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: eighteen and receiving thirty thousand dollars of campaign contribution.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein was a resident of the Virgin Islands. He
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: wanted to make contributions to the Democratic Party. He asked
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: for a contribution. He made contributions to my campaign. I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: do believe that he was a reprehensible person, and after
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: finding out what he had done, I gave the money
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that he had contributed to my campaign to.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You didn't stop the contact with them,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: did you? So was it more money than was reported?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I had seen reports anything from that guy said thirty
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: thousand Financial Times where he got that article, but I've
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: heard as little as eight. Regardless, this story has been
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: around for years now, literally years since at least twenty
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: twenty three that people knew about it, and now it's
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: only breaking. So this whole time, when you have politicians
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: really on both sides yapping about you want to release
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files. This this whole time, you know, the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: politicians were dirty in it, and now all of a
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sudden they're not talking about it. But again, what's the takeaway.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: We're all sick of this story, all of it. But
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: once it gets out there, let's not forget about those victims,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: those girls. That's the main important thing to remember. All right,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: here's an interesting story. It sucks for them, But is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: there an opportunity to build a bridge? Get what we want,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: but build a bridge with China? Because there are stuck
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Chinese astronauts right now? Do you think we can help
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: them out? Now, let's not forget of all the countries
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: we have trade deals with and we're hammering them on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: on tariffs and all this other stuff. The one that's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not completely done yet. Great progress on fentanyl, but the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: one that's not completely done yet, a lot of negotiations,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: says the President and the administration and the trade ambassadors,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: is China. Well, seems like they could use some help,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: because let's see, if they have stuck Chinese astronauts, who
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: do we have that might be able to help them out?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Like he helped out are stuck astronauts? Elon what better way,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and you know that the Chinese hate to be embarrassed
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: on this what better way too, very quietly offer to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: help them out as long as we can get something.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Here's the background of the story, and it sucks for them,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: but again, maybe an opportunity for us. So there's apparently
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: three Chinese astronauts stuck in space. Their shuttle was used
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to cart in another group back to Earth, left them
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in the dust or space dust. They are. I'll try
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to pronounce these as best I can, Xiang Lu Wolfe
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and Jang hongs Yang, I think all with the Shenzoo
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: twenty one mission. They're marooned at China's Tiangong space station
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: until another shuttle is available to pick them up. So far,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: what they're saying, the international reporters and the tech reporters
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: are saying, that's not gonna happen a long time. The
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: problem is that china Manned Space Agency has only vaguely
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: confirmed that the spacecraft the crew's likely only one way
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: back home that they have back here on Earth, would
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: be launched at an appropriate time in the future. Well,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that sucks for them, but like I said, you know
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: why these trade deals and Trump always likes to talk
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: about it. You offer him something else, and you be
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the nice all with the goal of getting something out
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of them. We still want to deal with China. You're
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to avoid him, right What
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: better way to build a bridge when that's asked for
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: something big in return. We've already made great progress with
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: cutting down the production of fentanyl, which was killing Americans.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't this be a good opportunity maybe kind of sort of.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. Keep an eye on the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: though that sucks for them, though, man, I bet you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I would watch for this story to see if Elon
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: chimes in it says we'd be more than happy to help.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. All Right. I gonna wrap
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this up with because we're getting closer and closer, we
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: are officially in the red zone to the Great American Holiday,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving takes on a new twist through American advertising. You
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: ready for this? This one comes from KFC. Now. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: first read this story and I said, oh, nobody's going
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to go for that. But every time I see a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: story like this before a big holiday, some restaurant retail
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: chain comes out with some crazy marketing gimmick, and I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: always think, oh, that's never gonna work, And then you
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: find out the numbers later and somebody reports on it
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and it was massively successful. This probably is going to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: be the same way. KFC it was selling ready gravy
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: flights for Thanksgiving. Would you be all right with chicken
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: instead of turkey? KFC says yes. They're trying to insert
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: themselves into Thanksgiving with a new meal. It's called the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Extra Crispy Festive Feast. Maybe you're into that, maybe you're
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: not actually at this moment because they haven't had breakfast yet.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Sounds kind of delicious. So instead of turkey, you'd get
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: a bucket of fried chicken along with a flight of
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: three different gravies. Right like you try you samp, like
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: when you flight a whiskey, flight of beer. Whatever. It's
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: twenty five bucks. It sounds pricey, not compared to most
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: fast food these days, but you get eight pieces of chicken,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: two sides of mashed potatoes, four biscuits, and three types
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of gravy. Now again, I go into these stories always
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: thinking nobody he's gonna do that. It's Thanksgiving, people eat
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: at home with their family. Hold on, shame on, me
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: for assuming that, because that's not everybody. Let me tell
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you something, big fans of KFC or people who may
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: be not with their family this year sounds pretty damn
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: tempting for a lot of people, So I'll keep an
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: eye on it. We'll see all right. Tough day on
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the live stream for connecting with the internet outage on
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: X and other sites, but don't worry about that. It
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is going to be reposted if you missed anything on
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: X when Elon fixes the algorithm or the Internet outage
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: or the satellite blockage or mercury retrograde alien invasion. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: don't know what the hell's going on, but it's a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: good reminder that we're so dependent on electronics. And the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: audio podcast will always be posted as well. Thanks for
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: hanging out with me, being patient with me making a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: wicked awesome Tuesday. I'll talk to youmorrow.
