  Speaker 1: It's already a great day because I think I actually
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: started on time this time. Yes, still in New York.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Thanks for following me along on my journey. I have
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a great update for you. So my daughter got discharged
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: from the hospital kind of like on Ah, well, I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: can tell you where it is. The Ronald McDonald House
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: is kind of like a well you're recovering before you
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: can actually fly home. She had some spinal surgery. I
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: was telling you guys about that, But all good in
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the hood. That's that's just great news. And I'll give
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you a little life lessonn perspective. That reminded me of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: how important it is just yesterday. But we got other
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: stuff to talk about too. News wise, well, this is
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: not good news. Spring has sprung, the weather's getting nice,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and like clockwork, riots are back on college campuses. Ah yeah,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the University of Washington way out
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: west for this one. And what that's all about, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: really what you can do to try to get your
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: UH as a parent, because I always go to like
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the parenting perspective on this because I have kids in
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: college or you know, one still in college. It's not
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: can you avoid this kind of stuff. You can't avoid
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: everything that's going to happen in a crazy college campus.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But there are signs. Certainly we've seen a lot of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this now now we're into like two straight seasons, two
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: straight years of these kinds of violent protests on college campuses.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: There are things to look for as far as the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: administration goes, and who's more, what schools are most likely
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to have this kind of stuff happen. We'll talk about
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that as well. A little bit of white house stuff
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: involving the NFL as well, and good news about climate change.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The ice is coming back. But you know who's eerily
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: silent on this, all the people that told you that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the Antarctica is going to be just one giant ocean
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and the polar bears have nowhere to live anymore. Talk
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: about that as well. But first of all, nuts and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: bolts and some business. Thanks for finding me with the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Wicked Radio livestream all part of Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams.

• 1:57

• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the h and the wind is with me and the algorithm.

  Speaker 1: like I said, everything's going great with my daughter. So

  Speaker 1: thanks for all your very kind words on the direct
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: messages in the and the inbox. Appreciate that. You're very

  Speaker 1: that or I really appreciate it. And remember those dms
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: are always open for any suggestions, anything you want to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: talk about questions. We got to do another mail bag
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: catch up when I get back home with all that stuff,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: because that was fun the first time we did it
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: last early last week. All right, I'm gonna give you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: before we get to some of the news, I just
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: want to give you like this, what every once in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a while, I get this reminder of things that are
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: so simple and things we should all know. And it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: certainly happened with me throughout this whole ordeal, dealing with
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: hospitals and doctors and nurses and my daughter and this
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and that and transportation and your worried and deal with
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: insurance and all the you know, throughout the whole process,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like any normal person, I'm bitching and moaning and complaining
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: throughout the whole thing. Of course, I think like we
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: all would, because it's just, you know, it's nerve racking.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It's an emotional thing and you're nervous. And then you're
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: dealing with hospitals, which is always stressful. You're dealing with
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: insurance companies. I'll tell you that story someday, which is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just a nightmare. Obviously, not like Luigi Mangon, you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: nightmare like late last year, not that, not to that level,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: but still is pretty frustrating. So I'm bitching emtent about
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it as you try to go through the process. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you we should all know this. But just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: looking at and being in and out of a hospital
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: so much over the past like six or seven days,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you realize, perspective is everything. Some no matter how bad
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you think you have it or what you're going through,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to be a health thing, whatever
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it is, stress, finances, business, job, kids, whatever, somebody always
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: has it worse and you can see it just opening
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: your eyes. Somebody did it. And I tell you, once
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you start to realize that and you realize what other
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: people are going through it'll snap your right back at
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: his perspective. And it's such a simple thing. It's like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I feel silly saying that it's over simplistic, but it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: absolutely complete, one hundred percent true anytime you think you're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: really going through it, which doesn't mean it invalidates that,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: by the way, because you probably are, and your your
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: feelings and your stress and your emotions they're they're completely valid.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: But somebody's got to somebody as it worse. Trust all
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you got to do, and it's not too hard to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: find him either. All you gotta do is look around.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It's a great perspective technique if you want to just
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: feel better about things. It could always be worse, all right.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: End up with that talk about some news, Well, look
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: at this overnight. Look what happened out West University of Washington.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: This time they're the first, they're the first at the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: plate spring has sprung and riot season is back? Isn't
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that something? So this one apparently, And there's all kinds
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of groups involved. And I tried to at first, tried
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to towurt Actually, when I first looked at the news
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: stories on this, I was trying to figure out who
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the cops were, honest to God, because it was dark
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and there were fires and there were barricades and there
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: were smashing buildings and they were taking over buildings. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: then I saw then they saw some live video early
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: early this morning Eastern time, but it was live video
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: from what was happening out west at the University of Washington.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And I said, oh, good, well, the cops are taking
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: control of things because say that the riot shields. Oh
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: wait a second, those aren't the cops. That's that's the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Antifa dirt bags with the riot shields. There can complete
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: control because originally apparently the college campus cops were completely
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed and they're under orders to back off and to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: stand down on this until finally swat team members and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I think it was Seattle PD, and you know, the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: real cops show up to take control of things. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this was the latest. Is they pretty much gained control
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of the situation after hours of this kind of nonsense.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: See how the police department police you wd WST, it's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: yo will be making trespass arrests here at this location
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: any effects. And these two and they were chanting something
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: or whatever whatever it is. So we're all asking the question, Okay,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: who's protesting this time? Is that the pro Hamas thing? Well, yeah,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: according to reporters on the scene, these are independent reporters,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: like you know, independent journalists who were there at the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: University of Washington campus. Here's who was involved. And you're
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: getting the sense now that everything's just all blending together,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: like they're all just angry at everything. Antifoe was there,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: pro trands people, something called Trantifa. That's a new thing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: There were just regular agitators who are there jumping in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: on campus students and off campus students. I would venture
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: against mostly off campus students. Now, what would cause this
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: whole thing, Well, apparently Riley Gaines was speaking at the university.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: You know, she's the swimmer who's been a champion for
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: saving women's sports from you know, men competing against women.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: She's been big on that. So that was the spark
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: on this whole thing. But really they were looking for
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: anything to riot against it. They took over a bill building.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: According to one reporter on the scene, Apparently, um the group,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the pro Hamas student group is called super UW all right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: They hijacked the Interdisciplinary Engineering building at the University of
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Washington and they say they've renamed them. Yo, this is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the best part. They've renamed the building ready Shaban al Dalou.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. We're gonna have to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: translate it that on our own time, and they will
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: not leave until demands are met. Well, they left because
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the real riot cops showed up and they released a manifesto. Yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: so we're all supposed to pay attention to that, Okay.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Like I said, you get in the sense that all
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of these groups, it's all just combined to one angry thing,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and it's organized by and funded by somebody. I don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: know who bought the riot shields. Like I said, I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: thought there was that. I thought there were police at first,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: but no, they were fully armed and they had the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: riot shields and they were all I always go to,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Like I said in the introduction, I always go to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the parenting perspective on this because I still have a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: kidding what you know, Can you avoid this? No, you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: can't avoid everything that's gonna happen where kids away at
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a college campus. But I always go to this. I'm like,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: first thing I think of, and this is the very
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: first thing I thought of when with the IVY League
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: things with the pro Hamas protests that were they were
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: blocking Jewish kids from getting into school. Like that's one
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: thing that's hideous enough, But then imagine pay for that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: as either either a student on their own or let's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: say you're a parent just paying for that, right, how
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: enraged would you be? It shouldn't happen in the first place,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: but how how livid would you be? So I always
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: thought when I see these things pop up, and there's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more of them because it's springtime
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and this is riot season. Apparently, I don't know can
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you avoid that as you're a parent and you're looking
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: for college campus or a student and you're looking for colleges.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can avoid every situation that will
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: pop up, you know, because this is heavily funded and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's all political and all this sudden crap. But there
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: are signs. Now we're two years into these college riots,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and this isn't just your standard run of the mill protests.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: This isn't like the old days in the sixties where
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, and isn't it Isn't it funny
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: how it's come full circle because the hippies in the sixties,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: they were they were protesting for free speech, ending war
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: less government. Now it's the exact opposite. They want their
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: pro censorship. For sure. They seem to be funded by
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: one political party that's very pro government. That seems to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: be clear right now. And they in the name of diversity,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: they want to block certain people from their activities and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: going and actually going to school. And they're releasing manifestos.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I do remember that. I don't really remember as I
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was reading in the history books that the hippies and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the sixties on college campuses releasing manifestos and demands. They
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: would just have like sit ins, and they were mostly
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: this remember the mostly peaceful trope. Yeah, this is not
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: mostly peaceful at all. So if you were a student
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: looking to go to college or transferred to a college,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or a parent looking to still guide your kids throughout
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that whole thing, can you look for certain things? Not everything,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: but now there are signs. Look for the student organizations
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that are official or non official, that are affiliated with
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: these schools like this what was it called super UW.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And I'm not making that up. They're pro Hamas. It's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: not pro peace, it's no pro Palestine. They're pro hamas
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: like terrorsts. That's what they're in favor of. You can
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: look for stuff like that. Here's another thing to look
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: for incidents, and they're all documented where they're college campus cops,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the first line of defense supposedly against this
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Look for incidents or news stories or
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: anything or chatter online where they were told to stand
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: down and just let this happen. Because it happens in
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: cities too. Remember in Seattle a few years ago, three
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: or four years ago, they let anti take over an
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: entire city block until they finally shut that thing down.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: They just let them take it over. Look for signs
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: like that where you're looking for a school or an
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: organization or anything, because really there are signs you can
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: try to avoid with this. But there's probably gonna be
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: more of it. I don't know. We'll see, we'll see how,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: we'll see how, we'll see which colleges crack down on
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this and which ones don't because I just take the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: funding away. That's the only thing that's gonna happen until
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they stop tolerating these garbage. Speaking of students, maybe that's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: our theme today, the college kids, student loans. Time to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: pay back those student loans everybody. And I'll tell you why.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I truly believe this is good for all of us,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: beyond the obvious. You know, the obvious argument against this,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: for this is you and I shouldn't have to pay
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: for somebody that got a library sciences degree, right, I mean,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and that's fine line of work. So I don't want
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to pay for your loan because this garbage student loan
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: forgiveness idea which was never going to pass, which was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: never going to do a thing. It was just a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: pandering to buy votes from the previous administration, that's all
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that was. It was never going to be a thing.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: It was actually cruel what they did to these kids
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to get them into debt, promise that they're going to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: pay it off, and then not do it because they
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: were never going to beyond that. On a personal level,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it's good to pay your debts back just developing as
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a person. And most of these people are still young,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you know, they racked up college debt. It's good to pay.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You don't want to start off your life in debt, obviously,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: unless you're a doctor or a lawyer and you can
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: pay it off eventually. And with that mindset that you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: don't have to pay it off. It's very damaging. Let
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: me ask you this, Ever, since this whole idea started
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: probably ten years ago, where I'm just going to refuse
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to pay off my college debt, Ever since that started,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: if you noticed a difference in the workforce, I sure have.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Not just customer service, I mean just a difference in
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the workforce, not really the DEI stuff, which is kind of,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you know, raise the level of incompetence. Not just that,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I mean just a level of entitlement. And I think
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I really truly believe a lot of that starts off
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: with this idea where I'm going to rack up one
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in student loans with a really really
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: weak degree and not have to pay it off. It
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: does translate into what they get into the workforce, if
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: they get into the workforce, it really does proof positive.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Just randomly grab this lady. There's probably a million of
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: these videos out there of youngish people, recent grads and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: current students saying they're not going to pay off their
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: student loans. This I literally just cherry picked this, just
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: random out of a TikTok video and recorded the audio.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Listen to this lady who refuses to pay back her
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: student loans and tell me that she wouldn't be the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: worst person to deal with in any kind of business,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: whatever field she goes into. Listen to this. I'm not
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: giving y'all a goddamn fifth of my money. Okay, money
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that I don't have. But even if I did have
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the money to pay for it, you're still not getting it. Y'all.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: The one that forced us to go in the first place,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: telling us that there it is you four. She actually
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: this is her mindset, this is how she operates, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: this is somebody you would deal with in some kind
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of capacity in real life. You are the ones that
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: forced us to go to college in the first place.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: She really believes that has no interest in paying back. Well,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: bad news for her, and it's gonna be tough. It's
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough for a lot of these kids that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: don't make a lot of money coming out of college,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: but because they're going to have to pay them back.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the exact statement from the Department of
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Education that came out yesterday, and I enjoy the snarkiness.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I don't know. I got a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: kind of a kick out of these official government departments
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: being a little bit snarky with their statements. But anyway,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: came out yesterday. Starting today May fifth, the Department of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: resuming the Department is resuming collections to protect taxpayers from
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: shouldering the cost of student loans. UH. Federal student loans
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: are financed by the American people and must be paid back.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I like the snarkiness. I just do it. It says
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it all right there. So they are going to go
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: after it. I don't know whether it's going to be
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: with interest or not, but they're going to collect this
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: money and it's going to be tough news for people
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: like her that we just heard. More over than that, though,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: outside of a personal level where it's good for a
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: person to pay back their loans, it just is. It's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: good to start off your life that way, especially with
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: college loans. It's better for everybody, even outside of the workforce.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Watch the cost of college go down when they're not
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: subsidized anymore by useless degrees being paid for by college
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: loans that a lot of people still don't pill. When
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: colleges have to compete, there's your cost, there's your cost
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: going down. That's where they colleges in academia actually has
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to enter the free market. Watch that get better for everybody.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: You're going to get lower costs, better graduate and a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: better workforce. That helps out all of us because there's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: going to be less people like that that have that mindset.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not paying back my money and you forced me
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to go with college in the first place. Okay, that's done.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: You don't even want to deal with somebody like that.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: But so you know, even though it's going to be
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: tough for them at first, I totally get that, it's good.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: It's a good thing for all of us to make
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: them pay back their college loans. All right, a little
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: bit of Washington news yesterday. It wasn't just the White House,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it was Washington in general. Yeah. I know this is sports,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: but it's a little bit bigger. I kind of put
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: this in the category of pageantry. I think pageantry is important.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Trump's really into that kind of thing, like military parades,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the July fourth celebrations, America's Pastime Opening Day kind of things,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Those kinds of things, a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: more somber note Memorial Day, those kinds of things do honor. Well.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: This is where sports and pageantry kind of blend in together.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking about the NFL Draft, and you're thinking,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: oh god, he's talking about the draft again. No, really,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I think unofficially, the NFL is America's pastime. Sorry, baseball
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: just is. It's it's that much bigger than baseball now,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: just is. So this draft event that they've created is
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: now moving in twenty twenty seven to downtown Washington, DC
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: on the National Mall. You want to talk about pageantry,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Here's Trump's announcement of that just yesterday, and he's so
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: funny with it because he's gonna he's gonna claim total credit. Please,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the twenty seven NFL Draft. That's a big thing. We'll
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: be held right here in our nation's capital, Washington, DC,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: on the National Mall. And he's so funny. It's a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: big thing. This would be the bistab. Nobody said it
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: could be done. I got it done. Let me take
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: all credit. I think it's good. I think it's good though,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: even if you're not into the NFL. If you look
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: at this thing as you know, a national a national
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: event which you know, God will and everything goes off
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: very very well, and it's and it's a big thing.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: It's really just like a celebration of what people are into,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the national the unofficial national pastime. I don't know.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's cool anyway. I think this is really cool. Though.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: This is great, and I waited. I think maybe I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: think this news came on Thursday or Friday, and I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: waded through the weekend and into yesterday and today to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: see if anybody was going to comment on it. From
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the climate side of things. Did you hear this good news?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: There's good news about the climate. What's interesting to me?
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And this is why I waited. All of the people
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: who are the climate scare task tactic people you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Al Gore, John Kerry, Greta Tunberg, remember her, the little
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Swedish girl. All of these people, all of the organizations,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: they have been stone silent. When we finally get some
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: good news about the climate, isn't that interesting? Isn't that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: our main take? Well, here's the news. Antarctica. It has
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: reversed its trend. This is widely published, by the way,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you can find it anywhere, gaining ice for the first
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: time in decades. This is a new study published by
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Science China Earth Sciences. I don't know what's up with
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: that title either, but it's a thing. Researchers say. From
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three, the Antarctica sheet
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: saw a record breaking mass gain. Now what does that
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: mean to you and me in real terms? If this
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: is real? Between those years, the ice sheet allegedly gained
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: about one hundred and eight gigatons of ice per year.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: So still going like with a trend with a bullet
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: like going up. Where are they? Where are the where
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: are the climate scare tactic folks? How come they're not
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: celebrating this. What's even more interesting, they haven't even come
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: out of the woodwork to downplay this study. That's what
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I thought was going to come on first. Well, you
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: can't study that, you can't rely on this study. It's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: not factual and it's not blah bla oh blah blah blah. Yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: people like al Gore, you know, like him. Remember he
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: told his Miami was going to be underwater by twenty
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: ten or whatever the hell it was. And John Kerry
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: here's another one. Now, John Kerry, I'm looking for a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: comment from him because he was the guy that said
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Antarctica is ground zero for climate change. That's a quote.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: This is him talking about his trip to Antarctica and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: how bad it is now scary it isn't How do
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I relate this to normal people? How do I do it?
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: At least what has been happening? Describing the latest, deeply
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: alarming evidence of what is going on? I was generally scared.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: How do you translate this into the language that the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: average citizen can understand and connect to? Well, here's the thing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: We know how he did it with scared tactics, with
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: things like ground zero for climate change. You must give
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: up Bill Gates. He wants to get all rid of
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: all the cows because their farts create climate change. Right,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: those kinds of folks, Where are they once we get
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: some good climate news? Finally, where is it? Where'd they go?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about that, They don't want
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to talk about the good stuff. Where'd they go? Are
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: they in hiding? I don't know. Very interesting, though, very interesting,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And isn't that a good takeaway? Isn't that a good lesson?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So the people that love to use scare tactics when
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: there's good news and they go silent, be very very
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: suspicious of what they said in the first place. I'm
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: not doubting it anyway. I'm no climatologists. I have no idea,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: but I'm just observing. We get good news about Antarctica,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: supposedly ground zero of climate change. Well good news. Supposedly.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: All the scientific journals are saying, it's a very very
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: well put together study. Why can't we celebrate it? Where
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: are they? Are they going to make a statement? Stone silence?
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: That should tell you a lot about those folks. That
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: should tell you a lot, Especially when John carreyon is
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: after his trip in twenty that was from twenty six,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: by the way, where he talked about ground zero for
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: climate change? How do we express this to people? You
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: should know that they were using scare tactics. I'm not
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: glaud I'm not doubting climate gene JEMs, just saying I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: doubting them. That's what I'm doing, all right, I'm on
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a material and you're going, thank God more tomorrow. I
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: don't know what room or what internet connection I'm gonna
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have tomorrow, but by God, we're doing a live stream
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and it lives here on the replay for Wicked Radio
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: every single day on x and all part of Wicked
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Wisdom with Bill Adams on Facebook and YouTube and x
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: here as well. Direct message is always open in The
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: audio podcast of this will be posted hopefully within a
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: half hour Eastern time. You can check that out there.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: So main takeaway it's a good thing to pay back
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: your college loans, not just for you, for everybody. And
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: people who use scare tactics to get you to believe
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: some sort of a narrative be very skeptical of them,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. All Right, have a great one, have
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a wicked ausome Tuesday. With all that said, I'll talk
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to tomorrow. M
