Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: You know what day it is. Beware of the pranksters today.
- 0:08Speaker 1: I always kind of hated April Fool's Day. I think
- 0:10Speaker 1: I know the reason why. It's because I've been part
- 0:12Speaker 1: of too many stupid local yokel radio pranks in the past.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I've seen them all and I don't know what it is,
- 0:18Speaker 1: but if you partake, it might be fun for you.
- 0:20Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of the corporate pranks that happened
- 0:22Speaker 1: to day too. More importantly, though, we got Kid Rock
- 0:24Speaker 1: in the White House taking on a very important issue.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I mean that it is an important issue. Unless you
- 0:30Speaker 1: don't go out, you don't see any show anywhere. He
- 0:32Speaker 1: got President Trump to sign an executive order and hopefully
- 0:35Speaker 1: legislation later on to take on ticket scalpers.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I think that actually is important. But people are more
- 0:40Speaker 1: upset about his suit. Huh. What. More importantly, though, here's
- 0:45Speaker 1: today's takeaway. This is the life lesson we all learned.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Beware of grifters, especially somebody like Elon Musk's latest baby
- 0:55Speaker 1: Mama Grifter Boy. Get a load of this chick, holy cow,
- 0:58Speaker 1: and you're gonna say, well, it's not about the money.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Oh yes, it is. When you hear about this person right,
- 1:03Speaker 1: and we all have grifters in our lives. Believe me,
- 1:05Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. More importantly, Hey, it's Tuesday. Thanks
- 1:08Speaker 1: for being here. Thanks for funding the audio podcast too,
- 1:10Speaker 1: wherever you like to get those. Also make sure you
- 1:12Speaker 1: follow and like Wicked Wisdom Facebook page, YouTube channel, as
- 1:16Speaker 1: well as the replay here on x But let's get
- 1:18Speaker 1: right to it, shall we. Kid Rock at the White House?
- 1:21Speaker 1: I think, actually, I'm pretty sure this is part of
- 1:25Speaker 1: a larger meeting. The big deal in the headlines from
- 1:27Speaker 1: yesterday was he was there with the executive order. We'll
- 1:30Speaker 1: get to here in a second about President Trump signing
- 1:32Speaker 1: an executive order tackling the bots and the scalpers and
- 1:36Speaker 1: the scammers and the ticket prices and the ticket fees
- 1:40Speaker 1: that we all go through. But I think there's a
- 1:42Speaker 1: larger meeting here along with Kid Rock. I'm pretty sure
- 1:46Speaker 1: Bill Maher is going to be part of this meeting.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I'm sure something will come out of that today at
- 1:49Speaker 1: some other celebrity type, Hollywood type people. I don't know,
- 1:52Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what happens with that. But more importantly,
- 1:54Speaker 1: this actually did happen yesterday, and I've already heard it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: It's wah, what waste? You know, he has all these
- 2:02Speaker 1: media opportunities, and what does he do instead of taking
- 2:05Speaker 1: on something important. He's talking about ticket prices. No, no, no, no,
- 2:10Speaker 1: don't fall into that trap. This is just as an
- 2:13Speaker 1: important issue as anything else. And this is one that
- 2:16Speaker 1: everybody can understand. Remember when Trump during the campaign, this
- 2:21Speaker 1: was late in the campaign heading into the election, like
- 2:24Speaker 1: I think he announced it in October, might have been
- 2:28Speaker 1: September before the election last year, late in twenty four
- 2:31Speaker 1: no tax on tips when he was in Vegas for
- 2:33Speaker 1: the service industry, And how massively important and impactful that was,
- 2:39Speaker 1: because it matters. It doesn't have to be, you know,
- 2:42Speaker 1: taking on a nuclear power all the time. This is
- 2:45Speaker 1: something that affects all of us in our daily lives.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Unless you're a shut in, unless you never go to
- 2:49Speaker 1: a concert, you never go to a sporting event, you
- 2:52Speaker 1: never go see a show anywhere. You just don't do
- 2:54Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And that's rare to find that
- 2:56Speaker 1: kind of person if you are that kind of person,
- 2:58Speaker 1: unless you're that you've been affected by scalpers, bots, service
- 3:03Speaker 1: fees and all this other crap. It's ridiculous what we
- 3:06Speaker 1: have to pay for these things. And in fact, there's
- 3:09Speaker 1: been a lot of scams as well where people's credit
- 3:12Speaker 1: cards or data has been stolen by these things. So
- 3:15Speaker 1: good for him, Kid Rock got the president, he got
- 3:18Speaker 1: it in his ear, and he got him to sign
- 3:19Speaker 1: an executive order to try to tackle this stuff. Here's
- 3:22Speaker 1: what Kid Rock is.
- 3:23Speaker 3: No matter what your politics are, knows it's a come under.
- 3:26Speaker 4: You buy a ticket for a hundred bucks, by the
- 3:27Speaker 4: time you check it out, it's one hundred and seventy.
- 3:29Speaker 3: You don't know what you can charge for. But more importantly, these.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Bots, yeah, you know, they come in to get all
- 3:34Speaker 4: the good tickets to your favorite shows you want to
- 3:36Speaker 4: go to, and then they're relisted immediately for sometimes a
- 3:40Speaker 4: four or five hundred percent mark up, and the artists
- 3:43Speaker 4: don't see any of that money.
- 3:44Speaker 3: And you know, ultimately, I think this is a great
- 3:46Speaker 3: first step.
- 3:48Speaker 4: I would love down the road if there'd be some
- 3:49Speaker 4: legislation we could actually put a cap on the resale
- 3:52Speaker 4: of tickets.
- 3:53Speaker 1: That'd be great. You know, again, Oh, why doesn't he
- 3:56Speaker 1: talk about something important that's not important, a big consumer
- 3:59Speaker 1: issue like that. It's a massive, massive fraud that he's
- 4:03Speaker 1: cutting down on. I think it's fantastic and good for
- 4:05Speaker 1: Kid Rock. And Kid Rock said it right there at
- 4:07Speaker 1: the beginning. No matter what your politics are, this is
- 4:09Speaker 1: something everybody can agree on, right and they do, which
- 4:13Speaker 1: is why the left wing loonies had nothing to attack
- 4:17Speaker 1: him on. Nothing, because this is a great idea because
- 4:19Speaker 1: it just is. So what did they attack him on?
- 4:23Speaker 1: You might have seen I'm sure you've seen the video
- 4:24Speaker 1: and you've seen the picture, and I just posted it
- 4:26Speaker 1: here teasing the livestream coming up Kid Rock's suit. So
- 4:30Speaker 1: get this, This was the criticism. It wasn't about cutting
- 4:33Speaker 1: down on scammers and fraudsters and scalpers with the ticket
- 4:36Speaker 1: in the show business industry. No, it was about, oh,
- 4:40Speaker 1: he shows up at the White House with it red,
- 4:42Speaker 1: white and blue suit. I think even Peter Deucey said
- 4:45Speaker 1: it looks like he was about to get shot out
- 4:46Speaker 1: of a rocket or a cannon. And they they actually
- 4:51Speaker 1: made the jump, and they said Trump criticizes Zelensky for
- 4:55Speaker 1: White House visit not wearing a suit, and yet says
- 4:58Speaker 1: nothing about Kid Rock. Well, first of all, if you
- 5:02Speaker 1: look closely at Kid Rock's get up, it actually was
- 5:05Speaker 1: a suit, first of all. And secondly, really you talk
- 5:10Speaker 1: about grasping at straws. That's all they have. You're comparing
- 5:13Speaker 1: a supposed leader of a country in Zelenski with Kid Rock.
- 5:18Speaker 1: I think you got apples and oranges there. That's how
- 5:20Speaker 1: you know you've actually done something and making a move
- 5:22Speaker 1: like this to affect consumers. That matters because they have
- 5:25Speaker 1: nothing to criticize them on. Of course, so they're grasping
- 5:29Speaker 1: at straws. There's the mainstream, there's the White House Press
- 5:31Speaker 1: Corps grasp bing it's something else they can criticize them on.
- 5:34Speaker 1: So they found another one not related to the first story.
- 5:37Speaker 1: But this actually happened to The Atlantic, the Atlantic outfit,
- 5:41Speaker 1: the failing Atlantic that was in the news last week
- 5:43Speaker 1: for that signal app message leak with the editor from
- 5:46Speaker 1: the Atlantic got in with the Defense Department thing. We
- 5:48Speaker 1: talked about that and it was a big mistake and
- 5:50Speaker 1: all that other stuff. Here's the same Atlantic artist, right.
- 5:52Speaker 1: They wrote an article yesterday that said Trump administration mistakingly
- 5:57Speaker 1: deports a father of what it was, four or five
- 6:01Speaker 1: or whatever. Within an hour, within an hour, the White
- 6:05Speaker 1: White House had to correct their article and say, yeah,
- 6:08Speaker 1: it's true. He was a father of several children in
- 6:12Speaker 1: the country, had been here for years. You know what else?
- 6:13Speaker 1: He was in MS thirteen Gang member you idiots. So
- 6:18Speaker 1: if you're putting any credibility towards the Atlantic, that's what
- 6:21Speaker 1: you're dealing with. That's them believable. When they have nothing
- 6:25Speaker 1: to criticize on, they just grasp its straws like kid
- 6:28Speaker 1: rock suit and that. All right, here's today's takeaway. Beware
- 6:33Speaker 1: of grifters, because wherever you find successful people, you're gonna
- 6:39Speaker 1: find grifters. Right behind a con artist, somebody trying to
- 6:43Speaker 1: leech off the success of the successful person. He may
- 6:46Speaker 1: be thinking, listen, you know I'm not a millionaire. You
- 6:50Speaker 1: know I'm still struggling to pay bills every day. I
- 6:53Speaker 1: don't have elon kind of money. So I don't let
- 6:54Speaker 1: any grifters in my life. I bet you you do.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I bet you we all do. And every but he
- 7:00Speaker 1: has had successes in their life. Big promotion at work,
- 7:04Speaker 1: got a lottery win, you won at the track, you
- 7:08Speaker 1: want online sports, get something like that. Do you ever
- 7:10Speaker 1: notice when you have a big win, even in our
- 7:13Speaker 1: little lives, is somebody right behind who wants to take
- 7:16Speaker 1: advantage of it. Well, scale that up and consider yourself
- 7:19Speaker 1: like Elon Musk. We talked about her before, must have
- 7:22Speaker 1: been when did she come out of the woodwork a
- 7:24Speaker 1: couple of months ago. I think Ashley Saint Clair now, granted,
- 7:28Speaker 1: judging or not, Elon's got a lot of baby mamas.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I mean, the joke is he's trying to populate Mars himself, right,
- 7:33Speaker 1: He's got a lot. How many kids is he up to?
- 7:35Speaker 1: Like thirteen? Little X is the one he seems to favor,
- 7:38Speaker 1: and that's the one he's kind of like, you know,
- 7:40Speaker 1: taken along with him for the ride. But that's not
- 7:42Speaker 1: all of these cases. So whether or not you're hip
- 7:45Speaker 1: with that, that's what it is. That's Elon's own choice
- 7:48Speaker 1: or anybody who lives like that. Hell has a lot
- 7:50Speaker 1: of NFL players, a lot of baseball players that have
- 7:52Speaker 1: as many kids, right, we don't judge them the same way,
- 7:55Speaker 1: But that being as it is, he's got a lot
- 7:59Speaker 1: of them. So that comes up along with the grifters.
- 8:00Speaker 1: This Ashley Saint Clair lady had come out I think
- 8:03Speaker 1: it was about a month and a half two months
- 8:05Speaker 1: ago and said, Elon, you're not taking care of me
- 8:08Speaker 1: and why wouldn't you acknowledge me? And I do Let's
- 8:11Speaker 1: start with this before we get into her action yesterday
- 8:15Speaker 1: and why she was making news. By the way she
- 8:17Speaker 1: called in the camera cruise herself that right, there should
- 8:19Speaker 1: be a warning sign. Let's get to this. Elon uh
- 8:24Speaker 1: post this out on x yesterday allegedly that he has
- 8:28Speaker 1: been paying It's not all about the money, but still
- 8:31Speaker 1: he's been paying this Ashley Saint Clair. First of all,
- 8:34Speaker 1: a payment of two and a half million dollars and
- 8:37Speaker 1: a yearly payment of five hundred thousand dollars. He said,
- 8:41Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the kid is mine or not,
- 8:43Speaker 1: but I'd be more than happy to find out. But
- 8:45Speaker 1: this is what I've been paying her, right, two and
- 8:49Speaker 1: a half million bucks off the top and five hundred
- 8:52Speaker 1: thousand each year going forward for support. You're hearing that,
- 8:57Speaker 1: and you're saying, Elon, make me a baby. I'm sure
- 9:02Speaker 1: a lot of ladies are. Hell, I'm sure a lot
- 9:04Speaker 1: of guys are. All right, So I'll set that up
- 9:08Speaker 1: and then tell you what she did yesterday. So she
- 9:11Speaker 1: being a grifter and I mean that con artist in
- 9:14Speaker 1: every sense of the word. Oh, but she just wants support.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Really when you sell. Also the tesla that he gave
- 9:22Speaker 1: you one hundred thousand dollars. Car, you call in news
- 9:25Speaker 1: cameras to cover the event, and you make a big
- 9:28Speaker 1: deal of it in public, and you're gonna tell me
- 9:30Speaker 1: it's not about the money. It's not in every case,
- 9:33Speaker 1: I'm sure with these baby mamas, but with her, it
- 9:35Speaker 1: is one hundred percent about the money. Cameras everywhere, and
- 9:38Speaker 1: even talk to some news I'm not.
- 9:43Speaker 3: The only one.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I'm not the only one cleaning up his messes. Okay,
- 9:51Speaker 1: sure you've seen the stocks. Okay, there's another reason why
- 9:54Speaker 1: this is an absolute con artist, this lady, good lord.
- 9:57Speaker 1: So that's the lesson. Actually a couple of them, the
- 10:01Speaker 1: most obvious one in all of our lives, no matter
- 10:03Speaker 1: what level you're at financially, no matter where we are,
- 10:05Speaker 1: even if your little folks like us, we all have
- 10:08Speaker 1: grifters in our lives. Where there are successful people, the
- 10:11Speaker 1: grifters follow right behind. There's also another takeaway on this,
- 10:15Speaker 1: and I'd say this. You know, we tend to think
- 10:18Speaker 1: and if you're a if you're a Mega America First
- 10:21Speaker 1: voter and you love what the administration has been doing
- 10:24Speaker 1: so far, and you think that's this, let's not fool ourselves. Okay,
- 10:29Speaker 1: we know that they are con artists and a lot
- 10:30Speaker 1: of them getting exposed by Doge in the federal government.
- 10:35Speaker 1: But within this mega movement or any successful movement, there's
- 10:39Speaker 1: a lot of grifters as well. Oh absolutely there are.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Let's be adults about this. I mean within any political
- 10:46Speaker 1: part anybody that's in power. It's kind of like the
- 10:48Speaker 1: successful person example, anybody that's having success, or any group
- 10:51Speaker 1: that's having success. He has a lot of grifters within
- 10:54Speaker 1: that too. And these are kind of like like her.
- 10:57Speaker 1: And there's another little clutch of them who got in
- 11:00Speaker 1: tomorrow lago and they weasel the way into all the parties.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And she obviously was successful. Get it into Elon. Wherever
- 11:07Speaker 1: or find success, you're going to find grifters too, even
- 11:09Speaker 1: within Maga you strong Maga folks. So just keep that
- 11:13Speaker 1: in mind. A little quick update in the news. By
- 11:14Speaker 1: the way, speaking of Elon, this reminded me of it.
- 11:17Speaker 1: He made I think this was a radio interview or
- 11:19Speaker 1: it might have been a Spaces conversation on X I'm
- 11:24Speaker 1: not too sure, but it's just audio. And he had
- 11:27Speaker 1: said teasing the fact that today or expecting some arrests
- 11:31Speaker 1: or at least one big arrest on the social Security
- 11:34Speaker 1: scam Rember just the other night when he was on
- 11:35Speaker 1: stage over the weekend in Wisconsin, where he said, as
- 11:40Speaker 1: it turns out they don't want dose looking into social
- 11:43Speaker 1: Security because that's where the scam was. That's where they
- 11:45Speaker 1: were stealing numbers, giving them to illegals, and also in
- 11:48Speaker 1: many cases selling these social Security numbers. So he said
- 11:52Speaker 1: this about an arrest that's coming today, and I hope
- 11:55Speaker 1: it happens. I really do.
- 11:56Speaker 2: In fact, I believe that someone is going to be
- 11:59Speaker 2: arrested tomorrow today because there's someone who actually still four
- 12:05Speaker 2: hundred social Security numbers and personal information from the Social
- 12:10Speaker 2: Security database and was selling social Security numbers and all
- 12:18Speaker 2: of all the identification information in order for people to
- 12:23Speaker 2: basically steal money from Social Security.
- 12:26Speaker 1: That's scary, it really is. And if you look at
- 12:28Speaker 1: that chart that he pointed to again and his DOGE
- 12:30Speaker 1: team member, I can't remember the name of the guy.
- 12:31Speaker 1: I think Gracias was his last name. We you look
- 12:34Speaker 1: at the amount of Social Security numbers that were handed
- 12:37Speaker 1: out during the last four years to people that shouldn't
- 12:39Speaker 1: have gotten them, and then you realize that some had
- 12:41Speaker 1: voted even more gutten benefits. There are major arrests on this,
- 12:45Speaker 1: that's why they didn't want them looking into it. A
- 12:48Speaker 1: dose is going into now now the CIA offices. Oh boy,
- 12:55Speaker 1: pray for Elon. That's all I have to say. All Right,
- 12:57Speaker 1: it's also April Fool's Day. Beware of grifters, sure, but
- 13:00Speaker 1: beware of pranksters. I've never liked April Fool's Day. I
- 13:03Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I'm sure some psychologists or
- 13:05Speaker 1: shrink somewhere can do some sort of a profile and
- 13:07Speaker 1: people that don't like pranks, but that's me. I think
- 13:10Speaker 1: it's because I've seen so many goofy pranks and local
- 13:12Speaker 1: yoga radio. That's my own personal But I've always thought
- 13:16Speaker 1: I've always thought that pranks are for people that can't
- 13:19Speaker 1: be funny in casual conversation, like they can't not joke tellers.
- 13:22Speaker 1: But like just people who do like observational humor, right,
- 13:26Speaker 1: just people you know in your life that are just
- 13:28Speaker 1: great to talk to you, Like, people who don't have
- 13:30Speaker 1: that ability, they do pranks. So beware of the pranks today,
- 13:35Speaker 1: It's all i'm gonna say. But there have also been
- 13:37Speaker 1: but also corporations that aren't creative. They've done a lot
- 13:40Speaker 1: of pranks throughout the years, and there's a compiled list
- 13:43Speaker 1: of some of them. You might remember this one. Remember
- 13:44Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, coconnounce that new variety with helium in
- 13:49Speaker 1: it that creates a squeaky, high pitched effect on the
- 13:52Speaker 1: drinker's voice. Yeah, this is what I mean about. It's
- 13:55Speaker 1: kind of like with people who aren't creative. Companies aren't
- 13:57Speaker 1: creative either, so they come up with these You might
- 13:59Speaker 1: like it and whatever. It can be fun. So if
- 14:01Speaker 1: you partake in April Fools Day pranks, fine, you know,
- 14:04Speaker 1: have fun. And twenty seventeen, Bush's Beans launched the newest
- 14:07Speaker 1: bean variety, jelly Beans. I'm just not a big fan
- 14:12Speaker 1: of these things. Twenty seventeen, as well, Milwaukee County Transit
- 14:16Speaker 1: System offered a NonStop daily bus service from Milwaukee to Japan.
- 14:22Speaker 1: All right. Twenty nineteen, Tender added height verification to their app.
- 14:28Speaker 1: That was actually kind of awesome. Okay, I give him
- 14:30Speaker 1: credit for that. That was actually a pretty good April
- 14:32Speaker 1: Fools joke. So a lot of corporations today will come
- 14:34Speaker 1: up with the funny stuff. But somebody in the office, right,
- 14:38Speaker 1: you never spoke to before is going to do a
- 14:40Speaker 1: prank on you, jump scare or something, so beware that stuff. Again.
- 14:44Speaker 1: It's the people who aren't funny in real life, but
- 14:46Speaker 1: they love this day. They absolutely love it. I'm not
- 14:48Speaker 1: a big fan of it, but I will say this,
- 14:51Speaker 1: April Fool's Day has another purpose though, Like if you've
- 14:53Speaker 1: had some news you need to drop on somebody or
- 14:57Speaker 1: a company and you've kind of been redding saying it,
- 15:01Speaker 1: I'm holding back, like you don't know how you're gonna
- 15:02Speaker 1: break it to him. Just for example, if you were
- 15:05Speaker 1: gonna quit and just walk out and you just can't,
- 15:08Speaker 1: you know, some dead end job and you were gonna
- 15:10Speaker 1: do that anyway, today might be a good day to
- 15:13Speaker 1: do it, because nobody's gonna believe you, right, Like like
- 15:18Speaker 1: you go to HR you say, look, I can't stand
- 15:20Speaker 1: this job anymore. It's just this is stupid and I'm
- 15:23Speaker 1: gonna leave, and they'll say, okay, all right here, we'll
- 15:25Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. And then tomorrow's around and it's April second,
- 15:28Speaker 1: they're like, where'd Steve go? I thought he was just
- 15:32Speaker 1: kidding when he walked out. So if they're gonna throw
- 15:35Speaker 1: April Fool's Day, on us make use of it for sure,
- 15:39Speaker 1: all right, But the main takeaway is be careful of
- 15:40Speaker 1: the grifters. We all got them. If you're successful, and
- 15:43Speaker 1: you know you are, I bet you have more grifters
- 15:45Speaker 1: in your life than you realize. Elon has them, and
- 15:48Speaker 1: so do you, so be aware of them like this
- 15:50Speaker 1: actually saying Claire lady, I'd be aware of the practice
- 15:52Speaker 1: today too. But find the audio podcast Wicked Radio on
