Wicked Radio 3-3: Zelensky's Sales Pitch, RIP The Oscars, & Boston's Awful Mayor · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

Speaker 1: Well, how many arguments did you get into over the
0:08
Speaker 1: weekend about Ukraine? Hmmm, hopefully none, I mean, because there's
0:12
Speaker 1: nothing we can do to solve this whole thing. But
0:14
Speaker 1: I am here to tell you today because I went
0:16
Speaker 1: through this all weekend too, And it's amazing that this
0:18
Speaker 1: story happened with the White House visit on Friday and
0:21
Speaker 1: it only picked up and gained steam and attention throughout
0:25
Speaker 1: the entire weekend. Very few stories actually do that. But
0:28
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you, though, there's a way to
0:29
Speaker 1: look at this that will make a lot more sense
0:32
Speaker 1: to you. And that's probably the best we can do
0:34
Speaker 1: right now. There really is. If you kind of like
0:36
Speaker 1: reframe this whole thing in your mind, it'll make a
0:39
Speaker 1: lot more sense, way more. And I regret to inform
0:43
Speaker 1: you that Hollywood and the Oscars that they're gone. They're gone,
0:47
Speaker 1: forever gone, forget it gone. I had hope, I had
0:49
Speaker 1: hope last night. I had hope into the Oscar Show
0:52
Speaker 1: last night that it was gonna be okay. We're like,
0:54
Speaker 1: all right, well, you know, maybe they getting met No, no, no,
0:56
Speaker 1: they got to them. And Boston has an awful, awful
0:59
Speaker 1: man who said probably the dumbest thing in public I've
1:03
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. But it's okay because there
1:06
Speaker 1: are some infuriating things that happen in the news that
1:08
Speaker 1: get picked up nationally that are a regional thing. Like
1:11
Speaker 1: the people in Boston can tell you how bare, how bad,
1:14
Speaker 1: and how woke and how awful and clueless this child
1:18
Speaker 1: mare they have is. But when it becomes a national
1:21
Speaker 1: story and gets really picked up, that's when things change.
1:24
Speaker 1: That's where it's gonna be. Okay. You won't believe what
1:26
Speaker 1: she said over the weekend. What a weekend of news,
1:28
Speaker 1: by the way, but thanks for finding me, and I
1:30
Speaker 1: hope it was a good weekend. I hope you enjoyed it.
1:32
Speaker 1: This is Wicked Radio. Thanks for finding the audio podcast
1:34
Speaker 1: as well as the live stream, and by the way,
1:36
Speaker 1: you audio listeners were live every single day about eight
1:39
Speaker 1: am ish when the wind is with us on Action
1:41
Speaker 1: and Facebook and on YouTube as well, and the audio
1:44
Speaker 1: podcast always available right after the show usually nine am
1:47
Speaker 1: Eastern time, right when yet wherever you like to get
1:49
Speaker 1: your podcasts, and that's been growing though. Thank you so much,
1:51
Speaker 1: appreciate it. All right, I wasn't gonna actually lead off
1:54
Speaker 1: with this, but it kind of blends into everything else,
1:56
Speaker 1: so we might as well. I like millions of others.
1:59
Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't know what the ratings are going
2:01
Speaker 1: to be. Saw a lot of the Oscars last night.
2:03
Speaker 1: I know, I know you're shocked. If you know me,
2:05
Speaker 1: you are shocked. There was a boy five year stretch.
2:09
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it at all. You know what, it
2:11
Speaker 1: was really bad. You know exactly what I'm talking about,
2:14
Speaker 1: pre COVID, through COVID even after. It's just the Oscars
2:17
Speaker 1: were just and I wasn't alone because the ratings were
2:19
Speaker 1: just awful. They picked up a little last year. It
2:22
Speaker 1: appears more people were into it because they got less
2:25
Speaker 1: with the politics a little less right now. The year
2:28
Speaker 1: that Ricky Gervais hosted was just awesome because he made
2:30
Speaker 1: fun of Hollywood. So it was picking up a little bit,
2:33
Speaker 1: gained some momentum. And there I was last night because
2:37
Speaker 1: my girls in the house love watching the Oscars and
2:39
Speaker 1: it's like their super Bowl, so it's always on. It's like,
2:41
Speaker 1: don't dare change that TV. So I'm watching it, sticking around.
2:44
Speaker 1: I'm watching some of this and I'm like, Okay, well
2:46
Speaker 1: it's not read. It's not that bad. It's it is
2:49
Speaker 1: what it is, right, And I know there were some things,
2:52
Speaker 1: and I did see the red carpet. I saw a
2:55
Speaker 1: video of this actually, where there's some people with the
2:57
Speaker 1: matching Ukraine out some people had the yellow pants and
3:02
Speaker 1: the blue tops. And then they all found each other
3:04
Speaker 1: and they took pictures in the red cuff for whatever. Fine,
3:06
Speaker 1: who cares? Whatever, big deal? And what was it, Daryl
3:09
Speaker 1: Hannah she got up there and she was presenting something
3:12
Speaker 1: to somebody. And she gets up there and some sort
3:14
Speaker 1: of big you great thing again. Fine, whatever, it's fine,
3:18
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's harmless. It is what it is,
3:20
Speaker 1: and it was okay. You know, I didn't see a
3:22
Speaker 1: lot of these movies. I'm sure you didn't either, but
3:24
Speaker 1: the show itself was okay. And I'm watching because I
3:27
Speaker 1: love Conan. I've always loved Conan O'Brien. I'm watching. He's
3:30
Speaker 1: going on and on. He's doing a pretty good job,
3:31
Speaker 1: and I thought he had some funny lines. And then
3:34
Speaker 1: this right news, two wins already.
3:37
Speaker 2: I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand
3:40
Speaker 2: up to a powerful Russian.
3:42
Speaker 1: Oh our uh, they got him, they got to them.
3:49
Speaker 1: Because I will guarantee you that he didn't put that
3:51
Speaker 1: in there. There are certain lines, there are certain jokes,
3:53
Speaker 1: certain uh themes. I think that the writers and the
3:56
Speaker 1: producers of the Oscars and all these awards shows insist
3:59
Speaker 1: that the whole works in It's part of an agreement.
4:01
Speaker 1: I know exactly what that was. That's exactly what it was.
4:04
Speaker 1: It's almost like, during the show, Hey, we're going to
4:07
Speaker 1: we're going to mainstream here. We can't have that, you
4:11
Speaker 1: know that old expression. There are no coincidences, like they
4:13
Speaker 1: just don't exist. I saw that. I'm like, okay, here,
4:17
Speaker 1: they even got Conan, they got him, They got him
4:19
Speaker 1: to say that. I know they did. I'll guarantee I
4:21
Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't know for sure. We'll never
4:23
Speaker 1: find out for sure ever, but I'll almost guarantee you
4:26
Speaker 1: that that was force fed to him, either pre production
4:30
Speaker 1: or right there in the show, because they actually will
4:32
Speaker 1: write some lines during the show and I'm thinking, oh God,
4:36
Speaker 1: here we go, this is this is where it turns.
4:38
Speaker 1: It was about the halfway point of the show. And
4:39
Speaker 1: then who comes in next? Who does Conan introduce Mark Hamill? Now,
4:45
Speaker 1: if you know Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker, there is prom boy.
4:49
Speaker 1: It's tough competition. But there's not a lot of people
4:53
Speaker 1: that are more anti Trump than Mark Hamill. There's just
4:57
Speaker 1: not that's by design happens. If you know enough about
5:01
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, you know that these things are by design.
5:04
Speaker 1: So the so the anti Trump joke leads into anti
5:08
Speaker 1: Trump Mark Hamill, so that Mark didn't have to make
5:11
Speaker 1: the statement on his own, and Conan takes the heat
5:13
Speaker 1: for it's just just all crap, just just the just
5:15
Speaker 1: the same deal. It's the same crap. I don't know.
5:18
Speaker 1: Will it do well I beg you out with the brainings.
5:20
Speaker 1: Probably actually will be pretty well, pretty pretty good on this.
5:22
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see maybe, but I think Hollywood's lost.
5:25
Speaker 1: It's just gone. It's just if you thought that this
5:28
Speaker 1: would be the year where they're just not gonna make
5:30
Speaker 1: their statements and they're not gonna force feed those lines, now,
5:32
Speaker 1: that's that's just not gonna happen. It's just not so
5:35
Speaker 1: take them what they are. They're entertainers, that's what they are.
5:37
Speaker 1: Just laugh at them. And how about the crowd. By
5:39
Speaker 1: the way, Conan made that made that joke. You can
5:42
Speaker 1: hear at the very beginning it's amazing how it turns.
5:44
Speaker 1: And this is they're all like this, all of the
5:46
Speaker 1: Hollywood phonies. When he first made the joke about standing
5:49
Speaker 1: up to Rush and they went ooh, and then you
5:51
Speaker 1: could hear it. They looked around to see, yeah, yeah,
5:56
Speaker 1: let's see that's the Hollywood accepted thing to say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
6:00
Speaker 1: we support it. Now yeah, but they didn't do that
6:01
Speaker 1: at first. They looked around to see if that was
6:03
Speaker 1: the acceptable thing, and they looked at their producers and
6:05
Speaker 1: their publicists to see if that was okay. Such clowns.
6:08
Speaker 1: They're just these vapid, empty, idiotic clowns that entire industry.
6:14
Speaker 1: And they always have been and they always will be.
6:16
Speaker 1: It's just what it is. So take them what they are,
6:18
Speaker 1: don't take them seriously. But that's Hollywood, folks, that's show business.
6:23
Speaker 1: And now we know, all right, let's talk about what
6:26
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about over the weekend, the meeting that
6:30
Speaker 1: melted down. This is truly incredible. So this was, like
6:34
Speaker 1: I said in the introduction there that in that White
6:36
Speaker 1: House visit from Zelenski, first of all, happened on Friday,
6:41
Speaker 1: and it's only picked up steam. Yeah, I think it's
6:43
Speaker 1: just you know, the oscars happening this weekend, where they
6:46
Speaker 1: picked it up again and they kept the news story
6:48
Speaker 1: going helped. But this is one of those rare stories
6:51
Speaker 1: that had such a reaction from so many people that
6:54
Speaker 1: it actually was a bigger story as of last night
6:56
Speaker 1: in this morning than it was when it happened on Friday,
6:59
Speaker 1: which is strange because if you follow news cycles, they
7:02
Speaker 1: usually dump stories or events happen on Friday when nothing's
7:05
Speaker 1: going on or they're trying to bury something. So it's
7:07
Speaker 1: kind of weird. You know, usually usually early in the week,
7:11
Speaker 1: big things happen. Trump schedule is a little bit different.
7:13
Speaker 1: So on Friday's Aletzki comes to the White House and
7:16
Speaker 1: it started off. It started off. I saw this clip.
7:19
Speaker 1: Did you see him greet him in the driveway of
7:21
Speaker 1: the White House in classic Trump style.
7:26
Speaker 3: He's all dressed up today.
7:29
Speaker 1: And the look the look on Zeleiski's face when he's
7:31
Speaker 1: doing that too, you know, he's like a little guy
7:33
Speaker 1: to because he's the joke being. He wasn't in the
7:38
Speaker 1: pretend uniform, the army uniform. He was like in some
7:41
Speaker 1: what was that, by the way, some black outfit, but
7:44
Speaker 1: still not a suit, not a suit shown up at
7:46
Speaker 1: the White House. I guess he's trying to make a
7:47
Speaker 1: statement there that he's not going to be bossed around.
7:51
Speaker 1: But then the meeting happens televised before the world, and
7:55
Speaker 1: it was fascinating if you want to just take sides
7:57
Speaker 1: out of this whole thing, to be able to see
8:00
Speaker 1: the leader of the free world, along with the VP
8:03
Speaker 1: and a guy that's involved with probably the biggest news
8:05
Speaker 1: story in the world right now, hash it out and
8:08
Speaker 1: hammer it out before the world we all want. I'm
8:10
Speaker 1: always clamoring for transparency, so I loved it just to
8:12
Speaker 1: see this thing happen. I didn't like how Zelenski handle himself,
8:17
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people, even Trump supporters, not
8:20
Speaker 1: happy with how Trump and Vance handled it. But it
8:22
Speaker 1: was an amazing thing to see, I'll tell you that much.
8:26
Speaker 1: Here's let's get to JD. Vance's pushback on Zelensky so far,
8:29
Speaker 1: because the little guy uh in the black outfit was
8:33
Speaker 1: getting very rude here, and this is key to the
8:36
Speaker 1: entire story to understand exactly what the hell happened. Here's JD.
8:39
Speaker 1: Vance on the pushback, the.
8:40
Speaker 2: Kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of
8:42
Speaker 2: your country. Yes, but if you president with respect, I
8:45
Speaker 2: think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval
8:47
Speaker 2: Office to try to litigate this in front of the
8:49
Speaker 2: American media. Right now, you guys are going around and
8:52
Speaker 2: forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
8:56
Speaker 2: You should be thanking the president to bring it into this.
8:59
Speaker 3: Comment I've been to Ukraine that you say what problems
9:02
Speaker 3: we have?
9:03
Speaker 1: And then he started that and there you go that
9:05
Speaker 1: that have you been to Ukraine? You come see come
9:08
Speaker 1: to front line, And I'm glad Jade Vans pointed it
9:10
Speaker 1: out right after that clip ended right there. What happened
9:13
Speaker 1: after that was I've seen the propaganda missions. I've seen
9:16
Speaker 1: it and we've all seen it too, all the back
9:18
Speaker 1: to Hollywood, all the actors he brought over, remember the
9:21
Speaker 1: Ben Steeler thing, and the Sean Penn and the the
9:24
Speaker 1: other hand, they were there before the world leaders to
9:26
Speaker 1: show them, you know, all the different things that the
9:29
Speaker 1: propaganda trip, which I imagine happens in every single war
9:32
Speaker 1: that's ever happened, right, Propaganda and the fog of wars
9:35
Speaker 1: is a big part of this thing. But he goes
9:37
Speaker 1: right to that line, well, well, have you been to
9:40
Speaker 1: Ukraine to see the problem. Yeah, yeah, we know everybody
9:43
Speaker 1: gets it. And I'm not gonna I'm the vice president.
9:45
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a pawn in your next propaganda trip.
9:47
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. And then it got even ruder,
9:51
Speaker 1: and then even pushed back even more, to the point
9:53
Speaker 1: where Trump finally said, literally in his words, we're done.
9:58
Speaker 1: We're offering you a peace plan. Zilensky had zero interests.
10:02
Speaker 1: And I've seen this clip. I think I've watched this
10:03
Speaker 1: like fifteen sixteen times already, zero interest in any kind
10:06
Speaker 1: of a peace plan. Because again, if you're reframing to
10:09
Speaker 1: look at how we approached this thing, that wasn't his plan,
10:12
Speaker 1: was it. He had no interest in any kind of
10:14
Speaker 1: a peace plan. You why in a second here, this
10:16
Speaker 1: is the moment where Trump said, yeah, okay, this.
10:18
Speaker 3: People are very brave, but you're either gonna make a
10:21
Speaker 3: deal or we're out. And if we're out, you'll fight
10:24
Speaker 3: it out. I don't think it's gonna be pretty, but
10:27
Speaker 3: you'll fight it out. But you don't have the cards.
10:30
Speaker 3: But once we signed that deal, you're in a much
10:33
Speaker 3: better position. But you're not acting at all. Thankful and
10:37
Speaker 3: that's not a nice thing. I'll be honest, that's not a.
10:39
Speaker 1: Nice thing at all.
10:40
Speaker 3: Right, I think we've seen enough.
10:43
Speaker 1: Yep, you've seen enough, alright. That was it. And the
10:46
Speaker 1: story started to leak out on Friday. If you follow
10:48
Speaker 1: this thing, Trump has kicked Zelensky out of the White House.
10:51
Speaker 1: Let a conservative out what's said this? I said, wow,
10:53
Speaker 1: that's okay. He didn't kick him out of the White House. No, no, no,
10:55
Speaker 1: he did. He literally told he said, that's it. Trump
11:01
Speaker 1: advance went that way, So let's keet went that way.
11:03
Speaker 1: There were tolds. White House staff was told to get
11:06
Speaker 1: him the hell out of the building, and they did
11:08
Speaker 1: that actually really did happen. So when he says he's done,
11:11
Speaker 1: he's done. Like you, tried to process this all weekend long,
11:15
Speaker 1: trying to understand this entire thing, right, because nobody wants
11:19
Speaker 1: you'd think nobody wants any kind of a war to escalate,
11:22
Speaker 1: and he even saw it was just a fascinating thing
11:25
Speaker 1: to watch how this all breaks down. And like I said,
11:27
Speaker 1: there is a lot of up there, there's a lot
11:28
Speaker 1: of Trump supporters, of people that voted him for him
11:31
Speaker 1: were unhappy with the way it went. Should be more
11:33
Speaker 1: civilized it should be. There's a lot of other people
11:36
Speaker 1: and I would put myself in this category. Said no,
11:38
Speaker 1: I'm kind of happy that we don't get pushed around anymore,
11:40
Speaker 1: to be completely honest with you. And the other thing is,
11:43
Speaker 1: and the other aspect of this entire thing is it's
11:46
Speaker 1: fascinating to see how everything is flipped. It's unbelievable. Were
11:50
Speaker 1: the old hippies that really generated the modern form of
11:54
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, The old peace loving hippies, the love
11:57
Speaker 1: Stock era hippies, the Uh generation of Love are so
12:02
Speaker 1: gung ho for war. They're so gung host So they're
12:05
Speaker 1: either completely clueless and they don't understand what's going on,
12:09
Speaker 1: or they may be compromised, I mean honestly so, like
12:13
Speaker 1: the like the hippies that prote in Vermont, that protested
12:16
Speaker 1: Jdvance's ski trip weekend over the weekend, like them, it's
12:19
Speaker 1: a perfect example. Go look at the clips of that,
12:21
Speaker 1: the preprinted signs, the old hippies that escape to Vermont
12:24
Speaker 1: pro they'll support Ukraine take on Russia. Yeah, we need
12:27
Speaker 1: to support them. So you're supporting war. So you're supporting
12:30
Speaker 1: more Ukrainians dying in the front lines. Okay, because that
12:33
Speaker 1: wasn't Here's how I finally yesterday wrapped this around my
12:38
Speaker 1: own head. And like I said, when you reframe this
12:40
Speaker 1: and you look at Zelenski as a completely different kind
12:42
Speaker 1: of person, you'll understand. You'll understand, and all of this
12:46
Speaker 1: makes sense when you see where he went after the
12:50
Speaker 1: White House visit. That's the to me is the story.
12:54
Speaker 1: Is where he went immediately after the White House visit
12:56
Speaker 1: will tell you everything. But in the White House visit
13:00
Speaker 1: it here's a guy. Now, as far as when people
13:04
Speaker 1: say that this was a rude treatment of Zelensky, okay,
13:06
Speaker 1: put it, but put it this way. This is this
13:07
Speaker 1: is how I justified in my own head. Right. Just
13:10
Speaker 1: imagine then, because I'm always the guy that's saying, you
13:12
Speaker 1: want to understand what's going on in the world, boil
13:15
Speaker 1: it down to personal levels, like you know this guy, right,
13:18
Speaker 1: because it'll make you understand that, it'll get the it'll
13:20
Speaker 1: get the propaganda and the headlines out of it, and
13:22
Speaker 1: you'll just treat it like a like a normal person.
13:24
Speaker 1: So imagine, if you will, Zelenski is a salesman, Okay,
13:30
Speaker 1: he is like an acquaintance, just that you kind of
13:33
Speaker 1: know him. You're not that good of friends. And he
13:37
Speaker 1: shows up at your house, right, but he's got a problem,
13:42
Speaker 1: and he's got a problem with this other big bully,
13:44
Speaker 1: and he comes to you for help with the problem.
13:48
Speaker 1: And you think you have an idea of how to
13:49
Speaker 1: help the problem. You got some ideas to do this
13:51
Speaker 1: and to get him out of it. Now, it's gonna
13:53
Speaker 1: cost the visitor to your house, Zelensky, a little bit
13:56
Speaker 1: of a concession, and you're gonna make a deal on
13:57
Speaker 1: the side, and it's gonna be a little bit painful,
13:59
Speaker 1: but what's going to happen is you're not gonna get
14:01
Speaker 1: your ass kicked, and it'll bring you peace, right, And
14:04
Speaker 1: that's what Trump was offering him. If the visitor to
14:09
Speaker 1: your house, the acquaintance Zelenski, not only had zero interest
14:17
Speaker 1: in your idea whatsoever, he was rude about rejecting it.
14:22
Speaker 1: And he also, not only that two other things, insisted
14:26
Speaker 1: you get involved with the fight with the bully too
14:29
Speaker 1: more than you already have been, and throw some cash
14:33
Speaker 1: into the deal as well. Because that's exactly what happened,
14:36
Speaker 1: in the most basic terms of all time. This guy
14:39
Speaker 1: comes to your house with a problem you had an
14:43
Speaker 1: idea to fix, this problem that's going to cost him
14:45
Speaker 1: a little something he rejects. That is rude in how
14:48
Speaker 1: he rejects it. And he also goes so far as
14:51
Speaker 1: to insist that you get involved with the fight too,
14:53
Speaker 1: and you pay some money to help the problem go away.
14:57
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you kick that person out of your house? Of
15:00
Speaker 1: course you would. And if you think of Zelensky as
15:03
Speaker 1: a salesman, right, not as somebody had any interest whatsoever
15:07
Speaker 1: in a peace deal, because he didn't. That's clear. Now
15:10
Speaker 1: if you think of him as a salesman just looking
15:13
Speaker 1: for the best deal possible, might might be money, that
15:15
Speaker 1: might be who knows, right, plenty of plenty of very
15:19
Speaker 1: smart people will tell you that this is all about
15:20
Speaker 1: just extending this war and keeping it going as long
15:22
Speaker 1: as possible, to keep manufacturing weapons at the cost of
15:26
Speaker 1: Ukrainians are getting killed, but they're getting slaughtered. This is
15:28
Speaker 1: a war they can't win, right to keep it going?
15:32
Speaker 1: When you understand he's a salesman, it makes perfect sense.
15:36
Speaker 1: Where did he go after the White House that deal
15:38
Speaker 1: fell apart? Didn't get anything? Yet? Where do you go?
15:42
Speaker 1: You go to the fools that will actually take your
15:44
Speaker 1: deal in who you actually can push around who are
15:47
Speaker 1: we talking about the European Union? And he went first
15:50
Speaker 1: and foremost right to the UK. This is the most
15:53
Speaker 1: unbelievable statement that has gone nowhere. It's absolutely quiet. The
15:58
Speaker 1: UK Prime Minister Starmer actually made a press conference after
16:02
Speaker 1: the meeting with Zelensky and actually said this, and no
16:06
Speaker 1: one's talking about it.
16:07
Speaker 2: The UK is prepared to back this with boots on
16:10
Speaker 2: the ground and planes in the air.
16:12
Speaker 1: Huh, together with others. Europe must do the heavy listing.
16:18
Speaker 1: What he just said, boots on the ground. Well he
16:22
Speaker 1: didn't commit to that, really, you just said what we
16:25
Speaker 1: never wanted to say, what we never said in the
16:28
Speaker 1: press conference, Planes in the air and boots on the ground.
16:32
Speaker 1: That's the biggest threat since this whole frickin thing started
16:35
Speaker 1: to Russia with their next door neighbors. And this is
16:40
Speaker 1: the danger and this is what people are rooting for. Really.
16:43
Speaker 1: So the salesman Zelensky gets rejected on his first try
16:47
Speaker 1: with the US, probably by the way, knowing you would.
16:50
Speaker 1: So he goes to the next likely victim, the UK,
16:54
Speaker 1: and gets them to cave for whatever the hell reason.
16:57
Speaker 1: When you see him as a salesman, he makes it
17:00
Speaker 1: hell of a lot more sense. That's why he had
17:02
Speaker 1: zero interest in anything we had to say. But now
17:04
Speaker 1: apparently he's all in favor of the minerals deal. So
17:07
Speaker 1: we'll see. It'll be interesting to see if Zelenski goes
17:09
Speaker 1: back to the Trump White House and says, Okay, your
17:12
Speaker 1: deals for minerals and peace plan, now that we have
17:15
Speaker 1: UK money will work. I hope I hope Trump says,
17:17
Speaker 1: now go to hell. You had your chance. You're rude
17:20
Speaker 1: little you know what, believable God think of him as
17:24
Speaker 1: a salesman and somebody you know in your personal life.
17:27
Speaker 1: It makes a lot more sense that guy, and that's
17:28
Speaker 1: what he is basically. All right, let's talk about Mayor Wuhan.
17:34
Speaker 1: I love that nickname. It's not exactly fair, but when
17:36
Speaker 1: you hear her talk, you'll understand. Now. I'm from the
17:39
Speaker 1: Boston area, still have most of my family up there,
17:41
Speaker 1: so I follow a lot of those news stories and
17:43
Speaker 1: how far down the woke hoole, the city of Boston, Massachusetts,
17:48
Speaker 1: all of the northeast has fallen. I actually have people
17:52
Speaker 1: ask me, it's like, what's wrong with your home state?
17:54
Speaker 1: Like how do they still vote these people in Elizabeth
17:57
Speaker 1: Warrens from Massachusetts Ed Markey, two of the stupidest senators
18:02
Speaker 1: in America, and the mayor of Boston, which determines all
18:06
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts voting. By the way, Mayor wou Michelle Woo.
18:10
Speaker 1: She probably is. She's been the one that actually said,
18:13
Speaker 1: you know, Tom Holme in the Ice Director, we're gonna
18:15
Speaker 1: protect our illegal immigrants. We're gonna protect them here. Well,
18:18
Speaker 1: that's been a regional thing, and they've been trying to
18:20
Speaker 1: oust her for a long time. Everybody up there is
18:22
Speaker 1: aware of her. Now the country is aware of her.
18:24
Speaker 1: And you may have seen this clip already. Probably now
18:27
Speaker 1: she's in trouble because now she finally said something so
18:30
Speaker 1: offensive and stupid that the entire nation has a spotlight
18:34
Speaker 1: on her office. And it was this. It happened on Saturday. Boy,
18:38
Speaker 1: so much happened over the weekend on Saturday in Copley
18:41
Speaker 1: Place in Boston. They're beautiful, you know, area, a lot
18:44
Speaker 1: of money in that area of Boston, So this kind
18:47
Speaker 1: of stuff usually didn't happen. Some lunatic, for whatever reason,
18:51
Speaker 1: a knife wielding lunatic was chasing two people down the
18:54
Speaker 1: street in Copley Square into and the two people ran
18:59
Speaker 1: as fast as they couldn't they. They ducked into a
19:01
Speaker 1: Chick fil A because everybody loves God's chicken sandwich. But
19:05
Speaker 1: they run into there to try to get some safety
19:07
Speaker 1: and to try to have somebody call the cops for help. Right,
19:10
Speaker 1: the knife wielding lunatic follows them in there. Well, lo
19:14
Speaker 1: and behold. Thankfully there was an off duty Boston cop
19:17
Speaker 1: in the Chick fil A at the time. Ticks out
19:20
Speaker 1: his weapon and he told the lunatic to drop the knife.
19:24
Speaker 1: He didn't sow. The cop blew the lunatic away, right,
19:27
Speaker 1: and that's where our story begins. Now, you'd think that
19:30
Speaker 1: the mayor on the scene heat of the moment, I
19:33
Speaker 1: get it, But that's where you see what people are
19:34
Speaker 1: really like. You think she would thank the cops, so
19:37
Speaker 1: sorry this happened in this area. We're gonna do our
19:39
Speaker 1: best to beef up security. No, no, no, she didn't
19:43
Speaker 1: even thank the police until way after her first line
19:46
Speaker 1: of thought. We're so sorry, and our condolences to the
19:52
Speaker 1: family of the attacker who lost his life. Honest to God,
19:56
Speaker 1: don't believe me. My condolence and all of our thoughts
20:03
Speaker 1: are with the family of the individual whose life has
20:07
Speaker 1: been lost. All of our thoughts are with the family
20:12
Speaker 1: of the individual whose life has been lost. You know who.
20:14
Speaker 1: The individual was, a knife wielding attacker who would have
20:18
Speaker 1: killed these two people if they didn't happen to luck
20:20
Speaker 1: into finding a Chick fil A and an off duty
20:22
Speaker 1: cop inside. You absolute crooked lunatic. Here's the good news.
20:27
Speaker 1: Sometimes the story is so infuriating that it puts national attention.
20:31
Speaker 1: And this local report of this mayor WU got so much.
20:35
Speaker 1: This is a This was one of the trending, the
20:38
Speaker 1: biggest out of Ukraine. Aside from Ukraine, this was one
20:41
Speaker 1: of the biggest trending stories in the nation. And that's
20:44
Speaker 1: a good thing. As infuriating as that is, as the
20:48
Speaker 1: twisted lunatic mind virus is, when something this stupid comes out,
20:54
Speaker 1: it puts a lot of attention on And I'm not
20:55
Speaker 1: good at predictions. I try not to make them because
20:57
Speaker 1: they hardly ever turn out to be right. But I
20:59
Speaker 1: would bet you, if I was a betting person, I
21:01
Speaker 1: would bet you that with now the national support and
21:04
Speaker 1: everybody saying what's wrong with this mayor who elected her,
21:08
Speaker 1: feeling for the for the attackers family, I would bet
21:13
Speaker 1: you now that this national support you gotta see ice
21:16
Speaker 1: storming this week into Boston. We'll see if it comes true.
21:19
Speaker 1: I don't know, but sometimes the story is so infuriating
21:22
Speaker 1: that the end result is actually a good thing. Because
21:24
Speaker 1: that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Well, it was
21:26
Speaker 1: heat of the moment, she was on the scene. Yeah,
21:28
Speaker 1: so what. That's when you find out what people are
21:30
Speaker 1: really like. Believable. All right, first takeaway again, and I
21:36
Speaker 1: say this all the time because it's how I wrap
21:38
Speaker 1: my head around things. She confused about the Ukraine thing.
21:40
Speaker 1: You confused about these news stories. Personalize them, take it personally,
21:44
Speaker 1: and pretend that the characters in the news, these the
21:47
Speaker 1: usual suspects, are people in your life, and you see
21:51
Speaker 1: them acting that way, would you tolerate it? That's how
21:53
Speaker 1: you understand what's going on. That's always the mainstay takeaway
21:56
Speaker 1: along with this, take any crap from anybody. It's only Monday.
