Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / 5-27: Giants QB Jaxson Dart Introduces Trump, Sports Media Freaks Out
Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: You know, the target of my ire my subject is
- 0:08Speaker 1: always the media, because I think, in my opinion, in
- 0:10Speaker 1: my experience, the problems we have here could all be
- 0:13Speaker 1: solved we had an actual, true, honest media. But we don't.
- 0:17Speaker 1: And I've said for a long time now, prior of
- 0:18Speaker 1: the past ten years, you've probably seen it too. At
- 0:21Speaker 1: least according to the ratings, the worst media is sports media.
- 0:25Speaker 1: But here's an issue that's kind of gone from sports
- 0:27Speaker 1: media and has weaseled its way into all kinds of
- 0:30Speaker 1: media and won't let go. I'm talking about Jackson Dark,
- 0:32Speaker 1: quarterback of the New York Giants, high profile position. I mean,
- 0:35Speaker 1: if you're a quarterback of the Giants in that market,
- 0:37Speaker 1: you are you are a public personality, that is for sure.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Well he made them. He dared make the mistake after
- 0:46Speaker 1: being invited. And that's important part of the story here.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Keep that in mind, Just hold that, Hold that in
- 0:49Speaker 1: the back of your head for a second. He was
- 0:51Speaker 1: invited by the Trump administration to introduce President Trump at
- 0:54Speaker 1: the rally in New York last week. Oh oh oh,
- 0:58Speaker 1: the controversy, the nontroversy that this caused. Now, one of
- 1:02Speaker 1: his teammates had a problem with this, but this was
- 1:05Speaker 1: cleared up the day after. There's no problem in the
- 1:08Speaker 1: locker room. There's another important part of the story. It
- 1:10Speaker 1: was cleared up almost immediately, but even now a week later,
- 1:14Speaker 1: the media will not let it go. Now you could
- 1:17Speaker 1: call this well maybe because it's a slow off season
- 1:19Speaker 1: for the NFL. We're past the draft. We're really not
- 1:22Speaker 1: into you know, a preseason yet. It's something more than that, though.
- 1:26Speaker 1: There's a reason why they won't let it go, and
- 1:27Speaker 1: we'll get into it anyway. Thanks for being here. Appreciate
- 1:29Speaker 1: you as always. Thank you as always. Audio podcast listeners
- 1:32Speaker 1: posted right after the live stream at nine am ish
- 1:35Speaker 1: and there have been a lot more of you finding
- 1:36Speaker 1: it wherever you like to get your audio podcasts. Also
- 1:39Speaker 1: the live stream eight am Eastern Time on ex and
- 1:41Speaker 1: YouTube and Facebook, and then the replay. But let's get
- 1:44Speaker 1: into it now. We got to go back a little
- 1:45Speaker 1: bit because again this is a story that they will
- 1:47Speaker 1: not let go. They keep getting it life and pouring,
- 1:49Speaker 1: you know, C four on the Flames and this was
- 1:52Speaker 1: Jackson Dart introducing President trumpet is rally in New York
- 1:56Speaker 1: a few days ago. Again, this is really important. At
- 2:00Speaker 1: the invite, at the request of the Trump administration, regardless
- 2:04Speaker 1: of how he feels about politics. And it sounded like this.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Grateful, I'm a pleasure to introduce the.
- 2:13Speaker 1: President. And then here Lee Greenwood and the standard Trump
- 2:24Speaker 1: intro and all that good stuff. Okay, that's what happened.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Great event, big rally, huge crowd, as it always as well.
- 2:30Speaker 1: This is what kicked it all off. His teammate, Abdul
- 2:33Speaker 1: Carter linebacker or edge defender, I don't know, defensive player,
- 2:36Speaker 1: Abdul Carter, another big name in a massive market with
- 2:39Speaker 1: an historically important NFL team, the New York Giants. He
- 2:43Speaker 1: posts on social media, man, I thought that blank was
- 2:46Speaker 1: AI when I saw it. What are we doing here?
- 2:49Speaker 1: That's all he said? Right, that was his reaction. Not
- 2:52Speaker 1: that bad, but he seemed to like not be too
- 2:54Speaker 1: happy that his quarterback was introducing President Trump. You know
- 2:57Speaker 1: that's fine. Now understand this was cleared up a day
- 3:03Speaker 1: after he posted again and he said, and this is
- 3:06Speaker 1: in the locker room because they all love just to
- 3:07Speaker 1: push this narrative. He's the fighting the locker room out.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Dare you introduced Trump? It's you have to be more
- 3:13Speaker 1: aware than that, which you'll hear here in a second,
- 3:15Speaker 1: this was cleared up with his buddy, his friend and teammate,
- 3:19Speaker 1: Abdul Carter by the next day, within twenty four hours,
- 3:22Speaker 1: maybe even sooner than that. Okay, so that's not even
- 3:24Speaker 1: the issue. But for abdul Carter, he even say that, right,
- 3:29Speaker 1: Abdill Carter has gone on to say that another Giant's
- 3:34Speaker 1: great defender, a linebacker, Lawrence Taylor, is his hero, his idol,
- 3:38Speaker 1: his you know, favorite player to watch. Well, here's Lawrence
- 3:41Speaker 1: Taylor introducing Trump a couple of years ago.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I grew up a Democrat, and I've always been a Democrat.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Until I met this man right here. I'll tell you what, huh.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I don't remember the controversy at the time. Maybe a
- 4:00Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe some people were surprised at Lawrence Taylor
- 4:02Speaker 1: doing that. That was during a campaign event, and you know,
- 4:04Speaker 1: but no controversy. First question you should ask is why
- 4:08Speaker 1: you know? Why so why not? All right? Well, that
- 4:12Speaker 1: started the media firestorm despite the fact that Abdul Carter
- 4:16Speaker 1: goes on, he says, me and Jackson are all good.
- 4:18Speaker 1: We're all fine. It's all fine. Your locker room not divided,
- 4:20Speaker 1: We're fine, whatever, We're all good. Right, No, that'd be
- 4:23Speaker 1: the media and the sports media was just getting started. Oh,
- 4:25Speaker 1: they were just beginning all kinds of takes like this.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Here's Emmanuel Acho, I believe his name is. He played
- 4:33Speaker 1: about what twenty games in the NFL. But he's got
- 4:35Speaker 1: to tell you exactly why this was such a bad
- 4:37Speaker 1: thing and it wasn't full of wisdom, all.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Right, Just time to have an uncomfortable conversation about what
- 4:41Speaker 3: the hell is going on in New York. Jackson Dart,
- 4:43Speaker 3: the quarterback supporting President Donald Trump. He's allowed to do that.
- 4:47Speaker 3: He's a citizen. He's allowed to have a freedom of thought.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Abdall Carter first round pick. His teammate calling him out,
- 4:53Speaker 3: He's allowed to do that. If Jackson Dart allows to
- 4:56Speaker 3: support Donald Trump, then his teammate is allowed to support
- 5:00Speaker 3: his grievances with them doing that. Here is my issue,
- 5:03Speaker 3: Jackson Dark. You know how several of your brothers, your teammates,
- 5:07Speaker 3: your friends, your rider dies, how they might feel about
- 5:11Speaker 3: this individual. So I don't think there's a lot of
- 5:13Speaker 3: wisdom or discernment and very publicly supporting an individual who
- 5:18Speaker 3: many of your teammates feel offended by.
- 5:21Speaker 1: So there was it. First of all, why is he
- 5:23Speaker 1: yelling at me? Why's he yelling for reaction and clicks? Obviously?
- 5:27Speaker 1: He started off fine, he said he's got a right
- 5:29Speaker 1: to say that, and so does abdul Carter have a
- 5:31Speaker 1: right to say that. Keep in mind, by the way,
- 5:33Speaker 1: keep in mind he posted that this is already after
- 5:36Speaker 1: it's already been cleared up with the actual teammates. Abdul
- 5:38Speaker 1: Carter says, it's fine, We're all good handled in house. Perfect,
- 5:41Speaker 1: that's what That's what a good locker room should do.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Right already. No, that started the controversy. Not a lot
- 5:46Speaker 1: of wisdom to do that. Not a lot of wisdom
- 5:48Speaker 1: to come out and say your supports don't drump therein
- 5:52Speaker 1: lies what's baked into the cake in this whole thing,
- 5:54Speaker 1: which we'll get into here in a second. Okay, not
- 5:57Speaker 1: a lot of wisdom. Again, this is coming from a
- 5:58Speaker 1: guy that played what twenty games in the NFL. Okay,
- 6:01Speaker 1: that's fine, well, no better than me, But not a
- 6:03Speaker 1: lot of wisdom to say that. What are they really saying?
- 6:05Speaker 1: Here's what's acho former player really saying there? Huh? He
- 6:10Speaker 1: didn't say that about Lawrence Taylor. Giant's great speaking for
- 6:15Speaker 1: and introducing President Trump. The whole speech about President Trump.
- 6:18Speaker 1: That's not just introducing him. What's he really saying here?
- 6:22Speaker 1: And think about it, and this is diabolical if you
- 6:26Speaker 1: are and again remember Jackson Dart was invited by the
- 6:29Speaker 1: Trump administration to introduce him. Remember that, because that's a
- 6:32Speaker 1: theme throughout this whole thing. If you have an opinion
- 6:35Speaker 1: of your own, right, you're in the minority in this
- 6:41Speaker 1: You're in the minority. It's automatically assumed that everybody in
- 6:44Speaker 1: the locker room, because it's seventy percent African American are
- 6:48Speaker 1: against Trump. See, that's what they bake into the cake.
- 6:51Speaker 1: And it's diabolical, it's evil. I think it's racist as
- 6:54Speaker 1: hell in my opinion. But it's all so brilliant. The
- 6:58Speaker 1: narrative that's been created here by the left, absolutely brilliant
- 7:01Speaker 1: and pushed by the media. And the narrative is this,
- 7:03Speaker 1: if you dare support somebody like Trump, who they've already
- 7:06Speaker 1: decided to create into this monster. They loved him before
- 7:09Speaker 1: he ran for president, they've already If you dare have
- 7:13Speaker 1: opinion about it, and you're in the minority, you shouldn't
- 7:16Speaker 1: speak up about it. It's not a lot of wisdom.
- 7:18Speaker 1: According to that former player. Not a lot of wisdom
- 7:20Speaker 1: right now, can you met Now you know obviously where
- 7:24Speaker 1: this whole thing is going. If he was up there
- 7:26Speaker 1: supporting Kamala Harris, there'd be no reaction. He'd be cheered.
- 7:30Speaker 1: If you were supporting Joe Biden, if who's supporting Obama,
- 7:32Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, anybody, it would be fine. Right Because you're
- 7:36Speaker 1: the minority in the locker room, you have to go
- 7:38Speaker 1: with the narrative. Think about what they're saying. Think about
- 7:41Speaker 1: what they're saying because you are a thirty to seventy
- 7:44Speaker 1: percent minority. Sit down and shut up is what they're
- 7:46Speaker 1: telling you. And that's diabolical, like I said, and I
- 7:52Speaker 1: think it's racist in hell for anybody to say that
- 7:54Speaker 1: and the minority don't speak up. And I'll say it
- 7:56Speaker 1: for it. And this is like the fifth time I've
- 7:57Speaker 1: said it already. Still keep in mind, he was invited
- 8:00Speaker 1: by the Trump administration to introduce him at that rally. Okay,
- 8:04Speaker 1: keep that in mind. But that's the narrative that's spun already.
- 8:07Speaker 1: They've already cleared it up in the locker room. Media
- 8:10Speaker 1: has just gotten hold of it. And at this point
- 8:11Speaker 1: in our little story here, they're already pushing the tail
- 8:14Speaker 1: that you're not smart because you're in the minority in
- 8:16Speaker 1: your locker room. So you need to you need to,
- 8:18Speaker 1: you need to shut up, think about that, you're not
- 8:21Speaker 1: allowed to have an opinion. Well then I got even
- 8:23Speaker 1: more dumb because the dumbest people in media, the sea
- 8:27Speaker 1: hags on the View, got a hold of this the
- 8:29Speaker 1: whole thing. Now listen to this. Here's Sonny Hosten literally
- 8:33Speaker 1: tears coming out of her eyes talking about how this
- 8:35Speaker 1: has affected her personally. Listen to how ridiculous this is.
- 8:38Speaker 4: I think when you know the history of this president,
- 8:41Speaker 4: and you know the biases of this president for a
- 8:45Speaker 4: certain community, the black community, for me, if this feels personal,
- 8:50Speaker 4: and I think if you are someone who attacks the
- 8:52Speaker 4: community to which I belong and you support that, that
- 8:57Speaker 4: tells me two things. Either one, you agree his politics
- 9:00Speaker 4: and you agree with his biases, or you can be
- 9:03Speaker 4: adjacent to it, stomach in it. Stomach it, and that
- 9:07Speaker 4: means you are complicit in my view.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Yeah, see what I mean about it automatly baked into
- 9:11Speaker 1: the cake. They've told to lie so often. Trump before
- 9:15Speaker 1: he ran was on the View at one you know,
- 9:17Speaker 1: at one point in time, by the way, don't forget
- 9:19Speaker 1: that he was not maybe a different host, but he
- 9:21Speaker 1: was on the View talking to Barbara Walters back in
- 9:22Speaker 1: the day. But once he ran for Preyer, once he's
- 9:24Speaker 1: a political rival, then it's his his racist tendencies. How
- 9:28Speaker 1: he's attacked the black community. What And they say it
- 9:33Speaker 1: as if it's a foregone conclusion. And this is why
- 9:35Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's like baked into the narrative here and
- 9:38Speaker 1: if you dare question that, you are automatically a bad person.
- 9:41Speaker 1: This is what they do again, diabolical, but it's also
- 9:45Speaker 1: genius how they've run the narrative until now. Okay, and
- 9:48Speaker 1: by the way, attack the black community. What he's done
- 9:51Speaker 1: more for African Americans in this country than any president, yes,
- 9:55Speaker 1: any president has before cleaning up these cities and giving
- 9:59Speaker 1: them more opportunity. That's that's what I would say, you know,
- 10:01Speaker 1: but they never mentioned that. Well, believe it or not,
- 10:04Speaker 1: that wasn't even the dumbest thing the ladies on the
- 10:05Speaker 1: View said. Because then joy Behart got a hold of
- 10:08Speaker 1: this issue as well. They won't let it go.
- 10:11Speaker 3: I don't know what all that was, but but some
- 10:17Speaker 3: people were not happy with Dart's open political endorsement.
- 10:21Speaker 5: I mean, isn't he entitled to his It's America entitled
- 10:26Speaker 5: to his for somebody to back a guy like Trump,
- 10:30Speaker 5: who who's history and discrimination and racism goes back to
- 10:33Speaker 5: housing discrimination the seventies in the seventies, DEI attacks and
- 10:38Speaker 5: posting pictures of the Obamas as apes when he's on
- 10:43Speaker 5: a team that's fifty five percent of sixty percent of
- 10:45Speaker 5: the NFL, is that many people, that much percentage of
- 10:49Speaker 5: black people black that that is just the definition of
- 10:53Speaker 5: stupidity and racist in my opinion, There.
- 10:56Speaker 1: It is baked into it again. Who has this? Obviously
- 10:58Speaker 1: everybody that it's always is that everybody knows, right, the
- 11:01Speaker 1: assumption everybody knows how racist he is attacking DEI. He's
- 11:07Speaker 1: had a history of the DEI. You mean the policy
- 11:10Speaker 1: that's racist against white men. All right, But we didn't
- 11:12Speaker 1: need to get into that. But there it is again,
- 11:14Speaker 1: that's incredibly stupid. And she said the point once again,
- 11:17Speaker 1: when you've got it's the definition of stupidity when you're
- 11:20Speaker 1: the minority and you happen to be white in a
- 11:22Speaker 1: league that's you know, she got it wrong, But it's
- 11:24Speaker 1: seventy percent black, right Again, what's the statement here, If
- 11:28Speaker 1: you're in the minority, you're not allowed to speak up.
- 11:32Speaker 1: And they go even further. And this is what makes
- 11:33Speaker 1: it even worse. You're in the minority. They made it racial.
- 11:37Speaker 1: They did so if you're the minority white kid in
- 11:40Speaker 1: the locker room, don't speak up, and not to get
- 11:43Speaker 1: too deep in you. And I know it's still just
- 11:45Speaker 1: slow sports news story and all that other stuff, but
- 11:47Speaker 1: just imagine that. Imagine if they looked at the same
- 11:50Speaker 1: thing and they applied that same principle to the rest
- 11:52Speaker 1: of society. You're the minority white kid, shut up right,
- 11:57Speaker 1: you're not allowed to even speak up? Right? How racist that?
- 12:01Speaker 1: But they won't let it go. Well, here's somebody from
- 12:04Speaker 1: sports media. It's not in sports media anymore, but she
- 12:07Speaker 1: she'll chimes in all the time. Back in the days
- 12:09Speaker 1: when ESPN ruined sports it was Jammel Hill, remember the
- 12:12Speaker 1: whole Colin Kaepernick era, And we don't need to dig
- 12:14Speaker 1: that whole thing up and all this other stuff. Of
- 12:16Speaker 1: course again and brings her on to talk about this,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and we'll take it in pieces, because what she says
- 12:20Speaker 1: is once again forwarding, pushing forward this narrative that you know,
- 12:27Speaker 1: the white athlete should shut up and not have an
- 12:29Speaker 1: opinion because of numbers, because of being in the minority.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Here's what she says in this We'll take this in
- 12:33Speaker 1: pieces because this is just of all of the statements,
- 12:37Speaker 1: this is probably the worst.
- 12:38Speaker 6: Couldn't be up on a political stage speaking well, sports
- 12:40Speaker 6: and politics have always mixed. I mean they've mixed since
- 12:43Speaker 6: the days of George Washington. What changed about this narrative
- 12:47Speaker 6: of sports and politics?
- 12:49Speaker 1: Hold on, I gotta stop. Sports in politics have always
- 12:53Speaker 1: mixed since the days of George Washington. Did I hear that?
- 13:00Speaker 1: Who is George Washington's favorite team? The Yankees? Anyway, she goes.
- 13:03Speaker 6: On, there is when frankly, black athletes started to sell
- 13:06Speaker 6: more agency and started to speak more about some of
- 13:08Speaker 6: the conditions that people in their community were facing, or
- 13:11Speaker 6: even some of the experiences that they had, that's when
- 13:14Speaker 6: it became, oh, no, they'll mix sports and politics. In
- 13:17Speaker 6: this particular case, this.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Was a no. You see, that's where she's wrong again,
- 13:21Speaker 1: because sports and politics. It didn't become a narrative of
- 13:25Speaker 1: people saying just shut up and play sports for a while.
- 13:27Speaker 1: This has gone on forever on that part of it.
- 13:30Speaker 1: You want white athletes who have been told to shut up.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I remember back in the day when I was like
- 13:34Speaker 1: a kid, there was a picture for the Red Sox
- 13:35Speaker 1: long time ago, early seventies, Bill Lee. He had opinions
- 13:39Speaker 1: about Vietnam. They told him to shut up. White dude.
- 13:43Speaker 1: While I'm thinking about pictures, Kurt Schilling not in the
- 13:46Speaker 1: Hall of Fame another Red Sox picture. Why he's got
- 13:48Speaker 1: conservative politics, That's why he's not in the Hall of Fame.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He was told to shut up his entire career and
- 13:53Speaker 1: still is told to shut up post career. There's all
- 13:57Speaker 1: kinds of wide This isn't just but again, that's what
- 14:00Speaker 1: they try to do. It's only the way. It's only
- 14:02Speaker 1: the black athletes that are told to shut up. No,
- 14:04Speaker 1: absolutely not. She goes on, it's.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Arabi Jackson dark Again. Donald Trump is historically unpopular. You
- 14:10Speaker 6: are the quarterback of the New York Giants.
- 14:12Speaker 1: What what do you Donald Trump? This is again one
- 14:15Speaker 1: of those assumptions they work into the narrative. She actually
- 14:17Speaker 1: does believe that, but this is something they push all
- 14:19Speaker 1: the time. Right, Donald Trump is historically unpopular. Well, he's
- 14:24Speaker 1: won the presidency twice. Some would argue three times. We
- 14:28Speaker 1: don't need to get into that right now. But he's
- 14:31Speaker 1: also gained more. He got more of the what they
- 14:35Speaker 1: can count anyway, in the in the census, more of
- 14:38Speaker 1: the African American vote than any Republican president in history,
- 14:42Speaker 1: any of them. But again she says it like it's fact.
- 14:45Speaker 1: It's historically unpopular. So this is insane. It's it's what's
- 14:50Speaker 1: baked into the narrative. This is why they run the
- 14:52Speaker 1: narrative to assume that, and because what comes from that
- 14:55Speaker 1: is anybody that supports him, well, you're obviously on the
- 14:58Speaker 1: wrong side of history and you're a bad person.
- 15:00Speaker 6: What is the upside in appearing at this rally? Now,
- 15:04Speaker 6: he has a right to support whoever he wants, but
- 15:06Speaker 6: Abdul Carter has a right to criticize his support of that,
- 15:09Speaker 6: and a lot of athletes partly what makes them hesitant
- 15:12Speaker 6: about talking about their political of the beliefs is that
- 15:15Speaker 6: they don't want the blowback and they don't want the
- 15:18Speaker 6: resistance in how people might feel about it.
- 15:20Speaker 1: This is where I go into again for what am
- 15:23Speaker 1: I on this ten times reminding you he was invited
- 15:26Speaker 1: invited by the Trump administration to introduce him. Now imagine now,
- 15:32Speaker 1: imagine just the scenario here for was reversed and he
- 15:34Speaker 1: said no, what if Jackson Dart said no, I'm not
- 15:36Speaker 1: going to do that because I'm afraid of the blowback.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Media would have gotten hold of that story, and the
- 15:40Speaker 1: same people that I've had and all these multiple clips
- 15:42Speaker 1: so far would have said the same thing. He's a
- 15:44Speaker 1: hero for standing up to Trump. He's a hero for
- 15:46Speaker 1: doing that. He's a hero. And then conservative media would
- 15:49Speaker 1: have said this, you wuss, wouldn't stand up for Trump
- 15:52Speaker 1: and he backed down to the crowd and all this
- 15:54Speaker 1: other stuff. So the kid, as quarterback of the New
- 15:56Speaker 1: York Giants in a high profile position, was stuck either way,
- 16:00Speaker 1: but decided to take the honor because here's something that
- 16:02Speaker 1: used to happen all the time, all the time. This
- 16:05Speaker 1: is where another example where Jammel Hill is wrong. No
- 16:09Speaker 1: matter if you disagreed with the president, if you were
- 16:11Speaker 1: invited to go speak with the president, talk to him
- 16:14Speaker 1: the White House, you do it to honor the position
- 16:18Speaker 1: that changed with all the sports and politics stuff and
- 16:20Speaker 1: well all the Colin Kaepernick controversy with ESPN and when
- 16:24Speaker 1: they made it an issue and all this other crap.
- 16:26Speaker 1: That's what changed. You know, it made a great point
- 16:28Speaker 1: about this. Boomerosias in another quarterback that used to play
- 16:31Speaker 1: in New York in a high profile media market, and
- 16:33Speaker 1: he made an excellent point about this. We used to
- 16:35Speaker 1: put this aside and honor it. Just to honor it.
- 16:37Speaker 1: You get invited by the president to introduce him, of
- 16:40Speaker 1: course you do it. You know, if I was an athlete,
- 16:43Speaker 1: I would do it, even if it was Biden or anybody.
- 16:45Speaker 1: You'd do it to respect the office. That's what's changed.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And guess who changed this.
- 16:48Speaker 2: This was a real error on the part of abdull
- 16:51Speaker 2: quarter not on the part of Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart
- 16:55Speaker 2: was asked to do something to introduce the president of
- 16:57Speaker 2: United States. How many people get an opportunity and do
- 17:00Speaker 2: something like that, regardless of who the president is. You
- 17:02Speaker 2: may not like you may have hated Barack Obama, you
- 17:05Speaker 2: may have hated Joe Biden, you know, and some guys
- 17:08Speaker 2: didn't want to go to the White House because they
- 17:10Speaker 2: didn't like those presidents, just like other guys didn't want
- 17:12Speaker 2: to go to the White House because they didn't like
- 17:14Speaker 2: President Trump.
- 17:15Speaker 6: You know.
- 17:16Speaker 2: But but to put this out like a child on
- 17:20Speaker 2: social media is ridiculous.
- 17:23Speaker 1: And then when I heard it makes the best point
- 17:25Speaker 1: of all and he lived th red of that era.
- 17:26Speaker 1: You win a championship, you go to the White House,
- 17:29Speaker 1: you're invited to talk to the president, even if you
- 17:31Speaker 1: didn't vote for him. You do what to respect the office.
- 17:34Speaker 1: That's what's lost. You know who lost it. You know
- 17:35Speaker 1: who took that away from us, those hacks in the media.
- 17:38Speaker 1: I just played for you throughout the end, through this
- 17:41Speaker 1: entire episode, all of them, they all did this because
- 17:43Speaker 1: they baked into the cake in this diabolical but brilliant
- 17:46Speaker 1: narrative that if you support this guy, this Trump guy,
- 17:49Speaker 1: you're automatically bad. That's what they did. That's what they assumed.
- 17:53Speaker 1: That you're a bet and it's a member the acho game.
- 17:55Speaker 1: So it's an unwise decision because you're dividing the locker room.
- 17:58Speaker 1: By the time he said that, the locker room was
- 18:00Speaker 1: already healed. Abdul Carter came out with a statement and said, no,
- 18:02Speaker 1: we're good now. We talked about it, but who keeps
- 18:04Speaker 1: it going, who keeps tearing it apart? The media and
- 18:07Speaker 1: the sports media in general. It's ridiculous. So the takeaway is,
- 18:11Speaker 1: be like him, be like that kid, honor the office
- 18:13Speaker 1: if forever asked to do so. And just because you're
- 18:15Speaker 1: a minority, and they made the media takes made this racial,
- 18:19Speaker 1: they did well. They're the only ones that brought this up.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Not even not even abdul Carter in his statement brought
- 18:25Speaker 1: up the racial element. But all these media hacts did,
- 18:27Speaker 1: every single one of them did. How dare you speak
- 18:29Speaker 1: up like that? You're a thirty percent minority in the
- 18:32Speaker 1: locker room. You know what they're telling you. You know
- 18:34Speaker 1: it's a terrible thing to say, but it's diabolical. They're
- 18:36Speaker 1: telling you, white boy in the media, shut up. You're
- 18:39Speaker 1: not allowed to have an opinion. That's what it is.
- 18:42Speaker 1: That's exactly what they're saying, which is just awful. But
- 18:45Speaker 1: the good thing is, once again lesson because of the
- 18:48Speaker 1: controversy in this and people supporting him for doing that.
- 18:51Speaker 1: They've come out and supported this and people aren't being
- 18:53Speaker 1: aren't afraid to speak up. If you have an opinion
- 18:56Speaker 1: and you think it's important enough, you don't have to
- 18:58Speaker 1: get involved to make yourself public. But if you do
- 19:01Speaker 1: have the guts to do it like he did, that's great.
- 19:03Speaker 1: You know, it would have been the funniest thing of all.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I don't think this is the case. But Jackson Dart,
- 19:06Speaker 1: if he came out after this and he said just
- 19:08Speaker 1: that I support whatever president in office is on. I
- 19:12Speaker 1: respect the I I respect the office, that would have
- 19:14Speaker 1: been awesome, just you know, if he said, even if
- 19:16Speaker 1: it's not true, I didn't even vote for the guy,
- 19:18Speaker 1: but I was invited so I introduced him, that that
- 19:20Speaker 1: would have sent the sports media hacks into a frenzy.
- 19:23Speaker 1: All the media acts anyway, silly, ridiculous. But thanks for
