Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: We don't know. As far as weekends in the news go.
- 0:06Speaker 1: That was an interesting one. That was something else. The
- 0:09Speaker 1: whole big No Kings protest organized. We heard about it
- 0:12Speaker 1: for a week and a half, if not more than that.
- 0:14Speaker 1: That happened, But you also had the giant celebration, the
- 0:18Speaker 1: military parade and Trump's birthday for the two hundred and
- 0:21Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of the US Army. You had that going on.
- 0:24Speaker 1: You had the event that we'll get into about what
- 0:26Speaker 1: happened with the pride flags at baseball games. And oh yeah,
- 0:30Speaker 1: you also had a guy in Minnesota shooting a couple
- 0:33Speaker 1: of Minnesota state lawmakers and they finally caught him. By
- 0:37Speaker 1: the way, give you the update on that. What's it
- 0:39Speaker 1: all mean at the end of all of it. At
- 0:42Speaker 1: the end of all of it, if you've been concerned
- 0:44Speaker 1: and you really worried about what you've been told is
- 0:47Speaker 1: chaos and everything happening around us and this big movement
- 0:51Speaker 1: and there's going to be a civil war, guys, I
- 0:54Speaker 1: wouldn't worry about it because I think this is the
- 0:56Speaker 1: weekend where we all finally found out how much energy
- 0:59Speaker 1: is actually in to the protest side of things. And
- 1:01Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you it's not a lot. It's
- 1:05Speaker 1: not a lot happening there for people who want to
- 1:07Speaker 1: protest and shut down the country. Wouldn't worry about that
- 1:10Speaker 1: in real life as far as your real life goes,
- 1:12Speaker 1: if you do celebrate Father's Day, if you're a dad,
- 1:14Speaker 1: or if you're a mom that has to be a dad,
- 1:16Speaker 1: I hope that was awesome for you, because that happened
- 1:18Speaker 1: this weekend too. You know, in real life, you know,
- 1:20Speaker 1: like actually dealing with things that in your personal life,
- 1:23Speaker 1: not all of this stuff that just comes to you
- 1:25Speaker 1: through social media and on TV. But that's important to
- 1:27Speaker 1: keep an eye on too. But we'll get to all
- 1:29Speaker 1: of it. But thanks for being here, appreciate it. It's
- 1:31Speaker 1: only Monday too. Ex to find the Wicked Radio live

- 1:52Speaker 1: going on and when we're live, when we're not live,
- 1:56Speaker 1: and everything else. Let's talk about the no Kings. I
- 1:59Speaker 1: put it right there in the headline, no Kings, no impact.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I don't mean zero impact, but it was very, very little.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Let's get into this for a second. How much we've
- 2:09Speaker 1: been to I talked about it probably I have five
- 2:13Speaker 1: days leading up to it, I guess, just because it
- 2:15Speaker 1: was all over the place, and I saw how inorganic
- 2:17Speaker 1: this was leading up to it. And what's the telltale
- 2:21Speaker 1: sign of that. When you have the same keywords by
- 2:24Speaker 1: influencers saying the same thing leading up to this, you
- 2:27Speaker 1: know it's inorganic. But then we found out how much
- 2:30Speaker 1: money was put into this thing by these NGOs and
- 2:33Speaker 1: other organizations, so that was another telltale sign. But then
- 2:37Speaker 1: you actually get to it. Okay, So the protest happens
- 2:40Speaker 1: supposedly on Saturday, and I'm sure you saw at least
- 2:44Speaker 1: some clips of this. Something came across your news feed
- 2:47Speaker 1: as you were trying to live your life and have
- 2:48Speaker 1: Father's Day, weekend and all that good stuff, friends and
- 2:50Speaker 1: family going to the beach whatever it is, vacation. I'm
- 2:53Speaker 1: sure you heard about some of this. Well, let's take
- 2:56Speaker 1: a little bit deeper now that it's done. Now that
- 2:58Speaker 1: they have the big protest, This was the big one.
- 3:01Speaker 1: This was the big protest designed to convince the rest
- 3:04Speaker 1: of the country that Trump is bad, he's hitler, he's
- 3:08Speaker 1: trying to be a king, he's trying to What did
- 3:12Speaker 1: it sound like? Mostly? And I understand that this is
- 3:14Speaker 1: just one simple little sample clip, and I totally get that.
- 3:16Speaker 1: But take a little deeper and take a listen and
- 3:19Speaker 1: a look at what this thing was. A Yeah, that
- 3:27Speaker 1: was common. That was about similar type energy, chant and
- 3:36Speaker 1: level of mostly what was out there throughout the rest
- 3:39Speaker 1: of the country. Now here's the first thing. The typical
- 3:42Speaker 1: areas of the country, inner cities, now La the riots there.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Philly was pretty bad too. For riot that it's a
- 3:48Speaker 1: little bit different, but it was kind of tied into this.
- 3:50Speaker 1: But places like Asheville, North Carolina, which is kind of
- 3:55Speaker 1: like that. It's like this. Somebody told me over the
- 3:57Speaker 1: weekend because I was talking to them about this. They said, naw,
- 3:59Speaker 1: Asheville is the San Francisco of North Carolina. Nobody liked,
- 4:03Speaker 1: which is it's a beautiful, like vacation spot. It's great.
- 4:06Speaker 1: But that's where old and that's key to my story here,
- 4:09Speaker 1: old very liberal, very leftist hippies kind of congregate. It's
- 4:14Speaker 1: like an artsy town. That's where that kind of happens.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Denver another one like that. Pick any city you want,
- 4:18Speaker 1: all the usual suspects as far as cities go with
- 4:21Speaker 1: a no King's protests when they were what was your
- 4:24Speaker 1: take What did you notice if you paid even a
- 4:26Speaker 1: little bit of attention of all this, Well, it was paid.
- 4:28Speaker 1: We all saw the buses, news coverage even had it.
- 4:31Speaker 1: People bust in from all over the place. We know
- 4:34Speaker 1: that they were paid protesters because we saw the social
- 4:36Speaker 1: media videos on Friday if you remember that of people
- 4:39Speaker 1: on TikTok saying, yeah, they offered me two hundred bucks
- 4:41Speaker 1: to go there and promote it and post videos about it.
- 4:44Speaker 1: So you know it was paid. We know it's inorganic
- 4:48Speaker 1: because of all the similar keywords and how it was
- 4:51Speaker 1: put out there, and the influencers and the NGOs, the
- 4:54Speaker 1: non government organizations that were behind it. Same cities, same thing,
- 5:00Speaker 1: same energy level for the most part. But there's another
- 5:02Speaker 1: takeaway on this, and this is going to offend you.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure, but it needs to be said.
- 5:09Speaker 1: And you can get mad at me all you want,
- 5:11Speaker 1: and that's fine, but as an observer of this stuff,
- 5:14Speaker 1: it needs to be said. What was your first takeaway
- 5:17Speaker 1: if you looked at the video of a lot of
- 5:18Speaker 1: these crowds that showed up for the No Kings protests?
- 5:23Speaker 1: Just think about it for a second and look at
- 5:25Speaker 1: think of any of the still shots you saw or
- 5:28Speaker 1: the video. It's old, old folks, And I know that's offensive,
- 5:35Speaker 1: and I get it, you know. And I'm in my
- 5:37Speaker 1: fifties now, I'm no spring chicken myself, but I'm talking
- 5:41Speaker 1: mid sixties and up way up on this. Why is
- 5:46Speaker 1: that relevant? Why does that even matter? It matters a lot.
- 5:49Speaker 1: It matters a lot for one thing. First of all,
- 5:52Speaker 1: because of that generation. Because if there is a generation,
- 5:55Speaker 1: we all have them, we all know them, we have
- 5:57Speaker 1: them in our family. We love them. You've tried for
- 5:59Speaker 1: ten years now fifteen twenty to try to talk to
- 6:03Speaker 1: them about their news sources, and they will not believe
- 6:05Speaker 1: you because it was so ingrained into what they are
- 6:09Speaker 1: their upbringing, you know, like the mother in law, the
- 6:12Speaker 1: father in law, your mom, anybody that has believed hook
- 6:16Speaker 1: line and sick or anything the Washington Post of the
- 6:18Speaker 1: New York Times, old newspapers ever told them right, nothing
- 6:22Speaker 1: could be nothing could knock them off that belief because
- 6:26Speaker 1: it's part of their DNA at this point right now.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Compare that and attach that to the videos that still
- 6:31Speaker 1: shots anything people. You know, maybe you saw, maybe you
- 6:35Speaker 1: saw this in your town. People there were at the
- 6:37Speaker 1: No King's protest. It's old. This is by far, by
- 6:43Speaker 1: and large, an old people protest. And I don't mean
- 6:47Speaker 1: that to be offensive, even though it is an offensive
- 6:49Speaker 1: thing to say. It's relevant to the story. And it's
- 6:51Speaker 1: very important to understand this because it explains a lot
- 6:55Speaker 1: of the no energy and it also explains who's buying
- 6:58Speaker 1: into this. It's the same people that bought into the
- 7:01Speaker 1: same thing that they're told and they just believe it
- 7:03Speaker 1: without questioning it. And it also tells you one other
- 7:06Speaker 1: important thing. It's not gonna last long. This is a
- 7:09Speaker 1: this is the this is the dying element, sadly, just
- 7:13Speaker 1: the way populations go, the dying element of a movement
- 7:16Speaker 1: that's going away. And it's clear as day. So if
- 7:20Speaker 1: you're my takeaway on this, if you were worried about
- 7:23Speaker 1: where this is going, it's a mass disruption in these
- 7:25Speaker 1: No King's movement, It's gonna take over the country, it's
- 7:28Speaker 1: gonna shut down everything, and it's this protest is gonna Nope.
- 7:32Speaker 1: This was it. This was the biggie. Did it change
- 7:35Speaker 1: your life? Did you? I didn't even see it. I mean,
- 7:38Speaker 1: do me feel it personally? Except for social media and
- 7:41Speaker 1: on the news, this was it. This was a massive,
- 7:45Speaker 1: massive undertaking and it had next to zero impact except
- 7:50Speaker 1: for one thing, the reverse impact and what this actually
- 7:54Speaker 1: meant for people because there's always a back and forth
- 7:58Speaker 1: on this there there's always a pushback on it. The
- 8:02Speaker 1: amount of people that looked at this and will have
- 8:05Speaker 1: the opposite effect is stunning. Then this does tie into
- 8:09Speaker 1: that military parade the birthday anniversary of the Army, which
- 8:13Speaker 1: was actually pretty awesome to see, by the way, man
- 8:15Speaker 1: was that incredible in Washington, DC? This had the opposite
- 8:19Speaker 1: effect of whatever they were trying to do with the
- 8:20Speaker 1: No King's rally impact because it opened up a lot
- 8:23Speaker 1: of eyes for the people that do question things and
- 8:25Speaker 1: they said, wait a minute, what are they? What's the
- 8:27Speaker 1: point here? Actually that the fact that they're even calling
- 8:30Speaker 1: this no Kings? Yeah, exactly are No King's Day? Was
- 8:36Speaker 1: this past election or July fourth, when we decided we
- 8:39Speaker 1: didn't want kings. Oh, by the way, little side note,
- 8:41Speaker 1: today the UK is actually having their own version of
- 8:44Speaker 1: a No King's protest, but they actually have a king.
- 8:49Speaker 1: So that's how insane this is. So when they make
- 8:53Speaker 1: this big of a deal of something like this with
- 8:55Speaker 1: little impact except for one thing, the pushback on it,
- 8:59Speaker 1: that's a massive fail, big big fail. I mean, look
- 9:02Speaker 1: at some of the speakers. We were there. Randy Weingarten,
- 9:06Speaker 1: you know who that is? The president, I'm sorry now,
- 9:10Speaker 1: former president of the Teachers' Union. She's been there for
- 9:15Speaker 1: twenty three years. And she just and this is political
- 9:19Speaker 1: speak for it, but she just left the DNC, the
- 9:22Speaker 1: Democrat National Committee, not more than twenty four hours after
- 9:27Speaker 1: she appeared at the Washington No King's rally. This is
- 9:31Speaker 1: the head of the teachers union, supposedly the top teacher
- 9:35Speaker 1: in all of the country, and she's jumping up and
- 9:37Speaker 1: down and waving her arms and a great and it
- 9:39Speaker 1: sounded like this, and it's horrifying, but it's important to
- 9:41Speaker 1: the story. This is what it sounded like.
- 9:42Speaker 2: Why you are the commune to this president's chaos and
- 9:48Speaker 2: together weave build the future of opportunity.
- 9:55Speaker 1: She was invited to leave the DNC after that speech.
- 10:00Speaker 1: She's still president of the Teachers' Union, but even they
- 10:03Speaker 1: don't want to be associated with her because she looked
- 10:06Speaker 1: and sounded so ridiculous. This is that opposite effect I'm
- 10:10Speaker 1: talking about, So she's gone. It was another thing that
- 10:12Speaker 1: happened promoting this and putting it all together. Did you
- 10:15Speaker 1: happen to catch because it went viral because it was
- 10:17Speaker 1: so insane? CBS that would be CBS News, The Columbia
- 10:21Speaker 1: Broadcasting System put out a post on Saturday morning that
- 10:25Speaker 1: said no King's merchandise available on Amazon. We all thought
- 10:31Speaker 1: the same, that are you getting a cut? You're promoting
- 10:34Speaker 1: like merchandise for this thing now after effect a pushback,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and oh yeah, there was one other thing that happened
- 10:42Speaker 1: right in the middle, right exactly in the middle, when
- 10:44Speaker 1: it was kicking off the No King's protest throughout the country.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Let's see what happened in the news. What happened? Oh yeah,
- 10:51Speaker 1: that's right. A former Tim Walls appointee shot a Minnesota
- 10:58Speaker 1: state rep and her husband and a couple of other
- 11:01Speaker 1: people and then went on the lamb. They finally caught
- 11:04Speaker 1: him by the way last night. They caught him. His
- 11:06Speaker 1: name is Vince Belter, tightly connected to the Tim Walls
- 11:10Speaker 1: Governor of Minnesota campaign, Tightly connected to the Democrats as
- 11:14Speaker 1: far as we know, unless this is some big kind
- 11:16Speaker 1: of a false flag story. But regardless, smack dab in
- 11:19Speaker 1: the middle of the No King's rally when they're supposed
- 11:22Speaker 1: to have all of the media attention and all of
- 11:24Speaker 1: the momentum, and then this happened. More violence from the left,
- 11:29Speaker 1: a little bit noteworthy this time though, because it was
- 11:31Speaker 1: left versus Left. Here's the Minnesota cops when they were
- 11:34Speaker 1: this is before they caught him by the way, and
- 11:36Speaker 1: they're talking about the suspect of what they were able
- 11:38Speaker 1: to grab out of his car.
- 11:40Speaker 3: We don't have any direct links. However, there were some
- 11:43Speaker 3: flyers that said no Kings within the suspect vehicle and
- 11:47Speaker 3: as we know, the planned events throughout state of Minnesota
- 11:50Speaker 3: today is a No King's event.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Yes, disturbing, and I get that, you know, and it
- 11:56Speaker 1: is concerning that anybody would do this kind of thing.
- 11:59Speaker 1: It's horrifying. It's like, you know, we already had We've
- 12:01Speaker 1: already had shootings in the past before and going back
- 12:04Speaker 1: to last fall and you had the shooting of that
- 12:06Speaker 1: healthcare executive, right or wrong? There you go, that's happening too.
- 12:09Speaker 1: And now you've got and the question, though, in the
- 12:11Speaker 1: after effect, is most people in this country asking the
- 12:14Speaker 1: same thing, why are these lunatics so violent? I don't
- 12:17Speaker 1: want to be part of that. So you attached that
- 12:20Speaker 1: right as the news coverage just happening about this Minnesota
- 12:23Speaker 1: state Rep being shot by what appears to be a
- 12:27Speaker 1: Tim Wall's appointee, which means by another Democrat. And you've
- 12:32Speaker 1: got most people looking at this while this No King's
- 12:34Speaker 1: rallies going on, and they're going, oh, I don't want
- 12:36Speaker 1: to be part of that. Like people who aren't involved
- 12:38Speaker 1: either way and haven't made up their minds about the
- 12:40Speaker 1: direction of the country or Trump or Democrats or anything else,
- 12:43Speaker 1: they look at that and they say, oh, they're nuts.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Because I am here to tell you as far as
- 12:47Speaker 1: how influence and persuasion works. Most people saw that news
- 12:51Speaker 1: story and then they saw these No King's rallies and
- 12:53Speaker 1: they said, Oh, that's all that whole thing over there,
- 12:56Speaker 1: that's all bad stuff. I don't want to be part
- 12:58Speaker 1: of that whole thing. That's how influence works and so again.
- 13:03Speaker 1: And I'll keep on saying this because it's our theme
- 13:05Speaker 1: and our and our main takeaway on this. If you're
- 13:08Speaker 1: worried about this whole kind of movement taking over, I wouldn't.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry about it because this was the big one.
- 13:16Speaker 1: This was the big one where they were supposed to
- 13:18Speaker 1: convince the entire country that Trump and America First is bad. No, No,
- 13:24Speaker 1: that didn't happen. There's another after effect on this. And
- 13:29Speaker 1: you might remember on Friday we were talking about it
- 13:31Speaker 1: might have been Thursday. I think it was Thursday. Actually
- 13:34Speaker 1: Trump floated out the idea. In fact, he sent it
- 13:36Speaker 1: at a press conference. I still have the sound here
- 13:38Speaker 1: from last week. We floated out the idea saying, well,
- 13:40Speaker 1: you know, a deportation. We're gonna we're gonna lay off
- 13:42Speaker 1: the farm workers and the service workers, and we're gonna
- 13:44Speaker 1: lay off that. Remember this this was from just last
- 13:47Speaker 1: late last week.
- 13:48Speaker 4: So we're we're gonna have an order on that pretty soon.
- 13:51Speaker 4: I think we can't do that to our farmers and
- 13:53Speaker 4: leisure too, hotels. We're gonna have to use a lot
- 13:57Speaker 4: of common sense on that.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Well, just because I've followed so many Trump news stories
- 14:05Speaker 1: from boy ten years ago. It started, by the way,
- 14:09Speaker 1: ten years ago. I think last night he came down
- 14:11Speaker 1: the golden escalator. I think it's been ten years since
- 14:14Speaker 1: he was involved in presidential politics anyway. And following how
- 14:17Speaker 1: he works, how he reads the room, reads the national tempo,
- 14:22Speaker 1: I think he also here's another effect of the supposed
- 14:25Speaker 1: No King's rallies. He looked at where they were, where
- 14:28Speaker 1: these rallies were, who was paid to do it, who
- 14:30Speaker 1: was disrupting, where some of the worst riots were to
- 14:35Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be so sure about that whole plan
- 14:37Speaker 1: he floated out there late last week about laying off
- 14:39Speaker 1: immigration for a little bit, because I know a lot
- 14:40Speaker 1: of people were upset about that. Here's another thing Trump
- 14:43Speaker 1: does all the time. He throws out test balloons, he
- 14:46Speaker 1: throws out a statement, put it on truth social he'll
- 14:50Speaker 1: make a little press conference about it and you know,
- 14:53Speaker 1: a side note, or he'll talk to somebody about it
- 14:55Speaker 1: in an interview. But he reads the room, in other words,
- 14:58Speaker 1: reads the national temperature and se how that's going among
- 15:01Speaker 1: his base, because that's all he really cares about. There
- 15:03Speaker 1: was a big pushback from a lot of folks a
- 15:07Speaker 1: lot of everybody about laying off immigration because a lot
- 15:11Speaker 1: of people, including some very influential people, it said no,
- 15:13Speaker 1: we didn't vote for this, we voted for mass deportation. Well,
- 15:17Speaker 1: tie it again to the protests that happened across the country,
- 15:21Speaker 1: as non impactful as they were. Tie that in now,
- 15:24Speaker 1: and now he has the momentum to say no, we're
- 15:26Speaker 1: going to full scale ahead with deportations for everybody, because
- 15:29Speaker 1: he just last night put on truth Social and it
- 15:32Speaker 1: was long. I'm not going to do that to you.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I won't read the whole thing. Our nation's ice officers
- 15:36Speaker 1: have shown incredible strength, determination, blah blah blah bah. In
- 15:39Speaker 1: order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain
- 15:42Speaker 1: into port illegal aliens in America's largest cities, such as
- 15:45Speaker 1: and they names them for the first time La Chicago,
- 15:48Speaker 1: New York, where millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside
- 15:52Speaker 1: after effect, result, cause and effect. And there's another one
- 15:58Speaker 1: so the very same. So it all ties in together.
- 16:02Speaker 1: So you saw the political violence in Minnesota. People attach
- 16:05Speaker 1: that to right or wrong. These no King's rallies, they
- 16:08Speaker 1: see all this stuff, they see the cities where they
- 16:10Speaker 1: happened and they have Trump with a golden opportunity to say,
- 16:13Speaker 1: you know what, instead of that plan to back off
- 16:16Speaker 1: immigration a little bit, let's go full forward. Let's go forward.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Let's go full boar ahead with that and gaining. And
- 16:23Speaker 1: if anything, even if you're not a Trump supporter, you
- 16:26Speaker 1: didn't vote for him, you can't deny that. The fact
- 16:29Speaker 1: is the fact that the guy is probably the best
- 16:32Speaker 1: persuader we've ever had in American politics because he knows
- 16:36Speaker 1: how to read the room, in other words, read the nation,
- 16:39Speaker 1: grab a hold of it, and then make a move
- 16:41Speaker 1: to adjust. Because what did he do. He's claiming victory
- 16:44Speaker 1: over the No Kings. The follow up truth social to
- 16:48Speaker 1: the whole thing about immigration, was this a huge thank
- 16:51Speaker 1: you to all the No Kings protesters yesterday. I was
- 16:54Speaker 1: very concerned the king was trying to take my place,
- 16:56Speaker 1: but thanks to you, thanks to your tireless efforts, I'm
- 16:59Speaker 1: still your pre is in a great job. All that's
- 17:03Speaker 1: what a current media master does. He takes the situation
- 17:09Speaker 1: to what's going on and he grabs hold of it.
- 17:11Speaker 1: And that combined with the military parade, which apparently now
- 17:14Speaker 1: and in the information is starting to leak in now
- 17:17Speaker 1: that was a massively, massively successful television event. Some networks
- 17:23Speaker 1: televised it, but most of that was on social media.
- 17:25Speaker 1: They're talking about tens of millions of people watched that thing.
- 17:29Speaker 1: They tried to downplay it, you know, the protesters. They
- 17:33Speaker 1: tried to downplay it as Trump throwing a birthday party
- 17:35Speaker 1: for himself, not really for a guy that can read
- 17:40Speaker 1: the room. And on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
- 17:43Speaker 1: of the Army, and let's not forget what's coming up
- 17:46Speaker 1: next year, our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the country.
- 17:50Speaker 1: People are ready for this. The takeaway Patriotism is back.
- 17:55Speaker 1: It's it's never not been cool, but it's back in
- 17:58Speaker 1: a big way. And you see something happened like that,
- 18:01Speaker 1: and how many people were talking about it. And I
- 18:02Speaker 1: will guarantee you at work today, if people are talking
- 18:05Speaker 1: about the weekend events at all, more people are talking
- 18:08Speaker 1: about that military parade and the birthday parade for the Army,
- 18:12Speaker 1: then they're talking about the no Kings thing because they're
- 18:14Speaker 1: not afraid to show their patriotism anymore. It's back, and
- 18:18Speaker 1: it's cool, and it's cooler than ever. So this whole
- 18:21Speaker 1: thing about like protests taking over the country and people
- 18:25Speaker 1: upset and the riots very isolated. It's very, very contrived.
- 18:33Speaker 1: It's not organic. And again, what's the takeaway for the
- 18:37Speaker 1: no Kings protests. It's old when you've got a majority
- 18:41Speaker 1: of older Americans, an older generation taking over. And this
- 18:45Speaker 1: is cruel to say I get it when that's who's
- 18:48Speaker 1: leading your protest. It's a fail already because you don't
- 18:52Speaker 1: have the youth movement and those people, the older folks
- 18:55Speaker 1: that were there and you saw them by the hundreds
- 18:58Speaker 1: of thousands at these rallies, They're not going to be
- 19:01Speaker 1: around much longer. So I wouldn't worry about that. And
- 19:04Speaker 1: here's another sign on the patriotism tip. The pushback against
- 19:08Speaker 1: these two events have been massive. So we're going back
- 19:12Speaker 1: to Saturday on this one. Two national anthems and Father's
- 19:15Speaker 1: Day is a huge baseball event for a lot of families.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Take Dad to the ballgame, you know, it's a great event.
- 19:21Speaker 1: They were big home stands for classic teams that were
- 19:25Speaker 1: sold out all weekend long. And remember what Saturday was too.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Saturday was also Flag Day. There's another reason why the
- 19:34Speaker 1: military parade happened on Saturday. It's Flag Day. Yet at
- 19:39Speaker 1: City bank Field in New York, home of the New
- 19:41Speaker 1: York Mets, during the national anthem, and I'm positive you
- 19:45Speaker 1: saw this already. If not, you'll see it at some
- 19:46Speaker 1: point today or here's somebody talking about it. In the
- 19:49Speaker 1: middle of the anthem, the national anthem, they showed on
- 19:53Speaker 1: the big screen in the stands in the center field
- 19:57Speaker 1: area the Pride flag. Now there were of course they're
- 20:01Speaker 1: going to be people cheering that across the country. Of
- 20:03Speaker 1: Course they're going to say that it's just par for
- 20:05Speaker 1: the course, and it's natural. Always look for the pushback.
- 20:08Speaker 1: And remember what I was saying about patriots, patriotism being
- 20:11Speaker 1: cool again and being in fashion again. People aren't afraid
- 20:13Speaker 1: to show it. The pushback against the Mets. I would
- 20:16Speaker 1: be surprised if there wasn't a statement about that today
- 20:20Speaker 1: about that. That's one thing that happened. And then you
- 20:23Speaker 1: go to the West coast. There was a singer. The
- 20:26Speaker 1: hell's her name, Neza Nezi neddie Pott. I don't know
- 20:30Speaker 1: what the hell her name is. Whatever. She's some sort,
- 20:32Speaker 1: some sort of a Latin music singer. She was invited
- 20:35Speaker 1: to sing the national anthem for the Dodgers. As the
- 20:38Speaker 1: story goes, She claims that the Dodgers tried to stop
- 20:41Speaker 1: her from singing the national anthem in Spanish, and she
- 20:46Speaker 1: did it anyway, And of course she ran right to
- 20:50Speaker 1: her cell phone to do a video right after she
- 20:51Speaker 1: did it. But she did it. Doesn't sound like the
- 20:54Speaker 1: Dodgers tried too hard to stop her, because all you
- 20:57Speaker 1: have to do is say you're not going to do that,
- 21:00Speaker 1: and they get any pushback. They just say, Okay, you're
- 21:02Speaker 1: not doing that, and they play a recorded version of
- 21:04Speaker 1: the anthem. Easy right. But they let her do it anyway.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Sounded like this, And then of course immediately she does
- 21:10Speaker 1: a video explaining why she did it, because it's all
- 21:12Speaker 1: about her. It's all about the ego narcissism of course.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Well here she is talking about why she did that.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Why did you sing the national anthem in Spanish? Well,
- 21:20Speaker 1: here's her explanation. There's no response.
- 21:27Speaker 5: I just got home from singing the national anthem in
- 21:30Speaker 5: Spanish at the Dodgers game. And it is the official
- 21:34Speaker 5: Star Spangle banner in Spanish. You can google it. It
- 21:37Speaker 5: was officially commissioned by the US State Department as a
- 21:41Speaker 5: part of President Franklin Roosevelt's Good neighbor policy to foster
- 21:44Speaker 5: a better relationship with Latin America.
- 21:47Speaker 1: America and shives it in your face. Well, she may
- 21:51Speaker 1: think that's a win, but did you happen to catch
- 21:53Speaker 1: that reaction from the crowd even in Los Angeles, even
- 21:57Speaker 1: at Chavez Ravine, The reaction to that in space very lukewarm.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Does that remind you of the no Kings rallies and protests?
- 22:06Speaker 1: Lukewarm response. That didn't have the effect. Now she thinks
- 22:08Speaker 1: it is because it's all about her, and then of
- 22:10Speaker 1: course does a video it, posts it to her TikTok
- 22:13Speaker 1: and Instagram followers immediately after, and calls herself the hero
- 22:16Speaker 1: for doing this. They're not aware of the pushback. They
- 22:20Speaker 1: just don't get it. You ever hear that expression about
- 22:22Speaker 1: the left? Conservative people have said this for years now.
- 22:26Speaker 1: They've said it about the left since the advent of
- 22:29Speaker 1: social media. They're not funny, like they can't do you
- 22:32Speaker 1: ever hear that expression? The left can't meme. In other words,
- 22:36Speaker 1: they can't like they don't know how to express funny
- 22:38Speaker 1: things online in social media. There's a truth to that,
- 22:43Speaker 1: and I think it goes to the fact that they
- 22:44Speaker 1: can't get out of their own heads like this singer.
- 22:48Speaker 1: She sees nothing but a heroic act on her part.
- 22:51Speaker 1: She's not reading the room or the temperature of the nation.
- 22:54Speaker 1: A lukewarm response. And now just today, when people get
- 22:57Speaker 1: back to work and back into their functioning lives after
- 23:00Speaker 1: their weekend and people start talking about it, it doesn't
- 23:03Speaker 1: have the support that she thinks it does. Now, combine
- 23:06Speaker 1: that with everything else that happened over the weekend, including yeah,
- 23:10Speaker 1: that that military parade, that very patriotic thing that happened
- 23:12Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. For the Army's birthday. Combine that
- 23:16Speaker 1: all together. It doesn't have the effect that they think
- 23:19Speaker 1: it does. There's a pushback. So again the takeaway, after
- 23:23Speaker 1: all of this stuff that happened while you were trying
- 23:25Speaker 1: to live your life, just just live your life and
- 23:27Speaker 1: have fun on Father's Day week and enjoy your family
- 23:29Speaker 1: and your beach and your vacation. All of this stuff
- 23:32Speaker 1: and all of this noise. Keep this in mind. This
- 23:35Speaker 1: was supposed to be their big protest rally and it
- 23:39Speaker 1: was a dud. So if you think that's taking over
- 23:42Speaker 1: your country, I wouldn't worry about it, And I'll go
- 23:45Speaker 1: you one more. I think it's having the opposite effect,
- 23:47Speaker 1: because there's always a rebound. It's going to be a
- 23:51Speaker 1: very patriotic summer, and they over there don't get that,
- 23:55Speaker 1: so wouldn't worry. That's all I got for you. I'm
- 23:59Speaker 1: out of material. Have an awesome Monday, and it's only Monday.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Good lord, hope it's a great week. Let's make it
- 24:03Speaker 1: a wicked awesome Monday. The audio podcast is going to
- 24:06Speaker 1: be posted about ten minutes after we wrap up here,
