• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Well, it's always sad when you start off the day
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and you lose somebody that's very well known but is
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: an absolute legend. But like all sad stories, when you're
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: talking about legends, they're that way for a reason. And
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: talking about Val Kilmer, who sadly passed away at six
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: sixty five, he had a long, long battle with cancer,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: but he fought like a champ. And that's really the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: lesson about that guy's story, because wow, it was amazing.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was a star in more ways
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: than just on the silver screen. The guy was a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: star because of how he fought and he showed other
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: people out of fight. It's a sad story, but like
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: everything there's there's always a silver lining in there. But
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about him. Oh, we have another Hollywood star
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: who's the exact opposite of that, playing the race card.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: He's a Star Wars guy. But the reason why his
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: character didn't take off, it's because the fans they don't
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: like the way he looks. Yeah, okay. Also in Hollywood,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about pot in theaters. This is
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Hollywood's great grand idea to fix their industry. It's not
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: about no, we're not gonna make better movies. We're gonna
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: allow people to bring weed into movie theaters. I swear
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to God, this is like, this is like a real
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: idea that actually may happen. Not look at it again,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: forget about the idea, but make it better movies. They'll
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: just let you bring weed into the theater so you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: don't even remember what the hell you're you know, watching it,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: how bad it was, and you forget about how much
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: money you spent to see it there. But it won't
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: be all entertainment. We're going to talk about Wisconsin too.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that the good and the bad and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the interesting takeaway from what happened there last night. But
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: let's get right into it. And thanks for finding me
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Wicked Radio. By the way, officially now the changeover has happened.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So this is the live stream I'm gonna keep on
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: doing every single day just to get it all out there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you I do this because if I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: don't get these thoughts in my head out and react
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and give you my mindset and what's going on in
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the crazy news, I'll lose my mind. So that's why
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I do it, and I kind of develop my content
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: from there. But as to be part of a larger
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: thing with some deeper dive interviews called Wicked Wisdom. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: if you go to the Facebook page and the YouTube
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: channel and the entire podcast is going to be called
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Wicked Wisdom, the Wicked Radio live stream is going to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: live within that. All right. I know it's complicated. It'll
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: all make sense soon, I promise you. But wherever you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: like to get your audio podcasts, any platform you want,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: just look for it right there, still, right now on
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Wicked Radio. Let's get to it. We lost Val Kilmer.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: This guy had a long battle. He was diagnosed with
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: throat cancer back in twenty I think it was twenty sixteen,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: might have been twenty fourteen, but anyway, it was a long,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: long battle. I think about the rolls Iceman and top
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Gun and top Gun Maverick or Tom Cruise, and good
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: for Tom Cruise bringing him back to that role he
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: played Jim Morrison, and I just realized I thought it
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was half and half where they put it into the mix.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: He sang all the the Doors songs when he played
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Jim Morrison. Did a great job in that role. Doc Holliday,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: great great role he played in that He was Batman.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I thought he got a lot of critsism as Batman,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: but he took over for Michael Keaton. I thought he
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: actually did a pretty good job. But there was something
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: amazing that came out. And if you never had a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: chance to see this, don't be afraid of it because
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's so encouraging and it's so great in how he
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: showed the world how he fought cancer. That documentary that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: came out in twenty twenty one that he created and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they showed an inside view of his life and what
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he was going through and in his family life. It
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was called Val and he came out in twenty twenty one.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about somebody movie star or not.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He just had the opportunity in the platform to talk
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: about what he was going through, right, That's why he
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: did it. You want to talk about somebody that fought bravely.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: This Vowel documentary again, you can find it's probably on Netflix.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It was so good. This guy fought tooth and nail.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people ask, well, why you're putting
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this on film, Why do people need to see this?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's exactly that. Find me somebody on the planet that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: isn't affected some way somehow by cancer. I sure have.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: If not in your personal life, in your family life,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: or you have a friend that's been affected by it,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. You watch this Vowel documentary and you see
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: how somebody fought bravely, and that's why he did it,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to show what he's going through, to kind of make
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it more eccept and more understanding for people. But man,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I just thought the guy was. I thought the guy was.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't I'll throw this term hero out
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: too often, but I think Val Kilmer was one. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: really do. Here's him talking. Here's a little piece from
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the original Top Gun and Tom Cruise talking about getting
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: him in that role for both of those movies.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Actually, it could be my wing man anytime, you could
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: be mine, you know.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The first one, I really rallied hard for him to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: make the movie You're Everyone's Problem.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And the kind of talent that he has, and you
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: see that scene, it's very special.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: This is very special, and you know what, it is special,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and it's special that Tom Cruise did that. I didn't
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: know that until I saw that clip and I heard
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that clip where Tom Cruise rallied way back when from
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the eighties. The first original Top Gun to get Val
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Kilmer that role, because I kind of thought at the time,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, as many times as I've seen that movie,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I was thinking that they were both the same level
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of stars. Tom Cruise was a way bigger movie star
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: at that time, not as big as he is now,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but at that time, so he was the one that
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: got Vlcilm in that role to play Iceman. I didn't
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: know that. We all know the story, which was so cool.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: We'll get into this actually talking about Hollywood. One of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the last really, really good, well produced films that came
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: out Top Gun Maverick, the newer one couple of years ago.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Tom Cruise fought for that one too, to get Val Kilmer,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: who couldn't even speak at the time, back to reprise
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: his role as Iceman. So Tom Cruise deserves a lot
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of the credit for getting Val Kilmer into our lives.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, somebody that fought so bravely never
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: complained once about it. Val Kilmer never complained with the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: hand he was dealt in the past few years, which
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was crappy. He just fought like a champion. He showed
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: other people how to fight. By the way, there's a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: great quote from him, I gotta see if I can
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: dig up for you. When he actually talked about this,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: where he didn't, you know, blame anybody, he didn't whine
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: about it. He died of pneumonia, by the way, was
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the official thing. He said, I have no regrets, you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: know whatsoever. I've had a great life and said it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: an adage, but it's kind of true. Once you're a star,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you're always a star. It's just at what level. I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: love that. Now, if you had heard that and somebody
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't battling cancer, you'd kind of say what an ego?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But he was laying it all out there. He says, no, absolutely,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: no regrets whatsoever. So what I was dealt with this,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight it. Good lesson for all of us
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: before we get into Wisconsin. This popped up too now
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that we're talking about movie stars, and I thought it
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: was ironic. I always talk about how things always seemed
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to come in themes. So we have the brave Val Kilmer,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: which sucks that we lost him. Well, here's another Hollywood
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: star who doesn't get it. You ready for this? This
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: popped up in an interview just a couple of days ago.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: We all know, speaking of crappy movies, that once Disney
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: got a hold of the Star Wars franchise, it wasn't
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: too good, right, and they never really understood why. So
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: why isn't why don't the fans react to this with
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the same level of passion. Well, there's lots of reasons why.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's because your stars and your directors and your
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: producers just don't get it. They don't understand. Case in point,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: how about this guy about John Boyega. If you know
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the Star Wars franchise, and I've seen every single one
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of them. My kids love him too. He played Finn right,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: He's an English actor, but he put on an American
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: accent for the movie. He says, get this talk about
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the opposite of Al Kilmer. He says, the fans problem
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: with black men in a lead role is that they
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: don't understand and they're not ready for it. Right now,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: here's an actor who got the role of a lifetime
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to be in a Star Wars franchise, but he says
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: he wasn't the lead lead, he wasn't the big name.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Because why it's our fault, right boy. If this doesn't
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: just encapsulate at all, Hollywood just does not understand the audience.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: He blames us. Here's the quote.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you this, Star Wars always had the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: vibe of being in the most whitest elite space.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: This is a franchise is.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So white that it's like a black person existing in
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: That was something, and you can always tell it something.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: When some Star Wars fans tried to say, well, you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: we had Lando Kalissian and had Sammy L. Jackson, it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: like telling me how many cookie chips are on the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: cookie though. I'm like, brother, it's just they just got
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: at that in there.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: They're okay with us playing the best friend, but once
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: we touch their heroes, once we lead, once we we
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Trailblazer's like, oh my god, it's just a bit too much.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Oh so, you've even gone so far as to mark us,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: mark the fans, the people that actually buy this stuff,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and the people that buy the you know, the comic
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: con tickets and the gear and the memorabilia stuff and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: all of the and the DVDs. Really so, but we
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: don't get it. That's why you weren't a lead in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: this series. This is it. This sums up everything that's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: wrong with Hollywood that and more. They understand the audience.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And when the guy doesn't get what he wants, when
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: he's upset that he's not a lead character, and he says,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: well it's because I'm black. Here you go. You couldn't
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: find You couldn't find a more perfect example of entertainers
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that get it and don't. Val Kilmer says, no regrets whatsoever.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I don't blame anybody. I've had a great life and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: now you know what, I'm still a star perfect great
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And he still fought and he showed the world how
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he fought. Hey, you got this guy Finn from Star Wars. Well,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I wasn't a lead because the audience wasn't aware, it
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't ready for it. Yeah. Sure, Pelle who goes to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Star Wars thinking even looking or thinking about race anybody?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they're out there because that's all they've been taught.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Everything's a race card. We can put people in categories
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and identity politics. Right. I've never gone or looked at
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to a Star Wars movie and thought about ray it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a space movie, Like really, this is how they want
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you to think. It's a space movie. I see aliens,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I see humanoids, but it's supposed to be in the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: distant galaxy if they have a long time ago and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: they have better technology than us, I see droids. This
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: guy is so freaking clueless. But the scary thing is
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of Hollywood like that. They they're so
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this is why we all say, like what happens to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: people in Hollywood? They become so disconnected with reality and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: what real people are really like, Like that guy, they
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: have no idea. That's why they don't get it. That's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: why they're miserable. That's why their opinions on like what's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: going on in society are so twisted. That's why their
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: movies suck. That guy right there, that's the perfect example
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of exactly what's happening. Yeah, Race Card with Star Wars.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Who the hell thinks about race with a space movie?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: For god's sakes? But there you go. So they still
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: don't get it, and the only answer is stop going
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to the movies. I guess I get Will they learn
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: it then no, they'll still blame us. They're blaming us
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: for these box office bombs that are happening these days.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Well did you hear Rachel by the way, snow White? Well,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: because people weren't ready for me in that role. Your
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: role sucked and you weren't good. The movie was bad,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and nobody wanted to remake in the first place. That's why. No,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's the audience's fault. Okay, sure, we'll talk about movie
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: theaters again in just a minute, But I got to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: talk about Wisconsin because this is fascinating. So Wisconsin last night,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: UH had the big had the big vote for They
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: won't spend a lot of time on politics. My my take,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: my my mindset on this is the takeaway and where
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: we're at when we look at these kinds of things
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and how the media treated it. So there was a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: big special election vote for their Supreme Court seat. The
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: conservative guy, Brad Shimmel lost to Susan Crawford, and they
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: called it early, which was you know, a lot of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: people were upset about that, but that's that's what it was.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So she's the far left candidate and she's gonna the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: speculation is, I guess people are upset because she's going
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to redistrict the voting map of the state. That'll give
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: them two or three more seats and they'll probably win
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the House because of that. And if they do that,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: they'll try to it will impeach Trump again, and you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: far reaching implications. Except for one thing. The same state
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that voted for her in that special election, what was
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: also on the ballot was this initiative. I guess it
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: was question number one in Wisconsin to make voter ID
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: enshrined into the law in that state, and it passed. Well,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: what does that tell you? Hold on a second, So
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the same people that voted for a far left Supreme
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Court justice to put her on their state Supreme court
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: voted for voter I D I think the takeaway is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I think that tells you everybody, even leftists, are four
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: voter ID. And I'm telling you, if the Republicans, if
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the GOP doesn't jump on this and push for every
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: single state or a national law for voter ID, they're
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: absolute lazy morons because everybody wants it. There's never been
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a hotter issue they've and they never will have more
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: support for this if they don't get this done, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they may not because they're lazy and dumb, so they
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: may not, but they should. We know that much. Here's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the other takeaway from this thing last night, because it
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was very strange. There's a speculation here that unless Trump
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is on the ballot, Republican regular hard work and folks
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: won't show up. And it may be true, I don't know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: because what's the populist candidate. They're people who work with
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: their hands, they work late. It's no excuses. I'm just
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: telling you. They don't really get involved unless it's a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: big national issue. But you've got a there suppose a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: political party that doesn't reach out to them. Just laziness.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: They're telling you what they want. They want voter ID.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: They're telling you that, and yet they still voted for
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: this lady. Reach out to them. Lazy. That's the thing.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Nobody can. That's the takeaway. Nobody can get lazy after this,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: because I guess that's the natural course of things. Here's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the other thing. Now, the media is trying to pin
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this on Elon. We all know that Elon must spend
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a ton of money. I think it was over twenty
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: million bucks. He was on stage in Wisconsin, he did
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: interviews on it, vote politicking and campaigning for this Brad
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Shimmel guy, and it didn't work. So all the Democrats,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the talking heads and the leftists are saying, aha, Elon,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: major fail, major loss. Not only that, they're trying to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: pin this and actually blame it on Elon, where it
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: was like a referendum for him. So it's an Elon backlash,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is it really though, because let's sing it look into
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the money spending CNN last night. I didn't watch it live.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I can't stand them, but it was interesting. Jake Tapper
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: had a panel of guests on, including Scott Walker, used
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to be the governor in Wisconsin, and he asked him
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he's trying to get to the point he's trying to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: make the case that this was a referendum on Elon
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and all the spending, and he gets into the spending money.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Here's what Scott Walker actually desuctively.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: If you look at all the money from outside that
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: was given to her, again, seventy seven percent of it
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: came from on a state. Only fifteen percent came from
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Shimmel and collectively a number of the analysisue.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, in terms of the money from
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: well individual if you.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Look at the whole outside money that came from out
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: of the state.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: It's clearly so you don't think it was a referendum
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: on Musket, although.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think it had a part of it. I think
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of different issues.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Here's what here's what the media is trying to tell
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you today, and this is why you shouldn't buy it
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: for exactly what Scott Walker said there. What he said
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: was they're trying to say that Elon spent all that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: money and lost and it was a referendum on him.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: There was more money spent on her from the people
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that you don't see that work in the shadows. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: he said it right there, George Soros, J. D. Pritzker,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the guy from Illinois, and Reid Hoffman. There was far
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: more money spent. But they're not They operate in the shadows.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: They're not out and about like Elon is because he's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a public figure. They're trying to blame all of that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: on Elon. That' said, that's absolute propaganda. I wouldn't buy
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it at all. But interesting though, voter ID yes, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: yet they voted for her. Something is off there. Exactly
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: what it is, other than the fact that if the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Republicans don't jump on this and push for a national
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: voter ID law, they're absolute idiots and just laziness. That's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: all it is. Everybody wants it. The only reason why
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you would ever not want voter id for elections is
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you're trying to steal an election, You're trying to cheat.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: It's that simple, it's that simplified, and it's an absolute fact.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And every almost everybody understands that. All Right, you're gonna
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: get back to Hollywood for a second. Sorry that's the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: theme today, but you ready for this. We talked about
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Val Kilmer, who gets it. Finn from Star Wars doesn't
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: get it. Hollywood doesn't get it. But they they came
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: up with an idea. They came up with an idea
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to save their save their films, right, because what's been bombing?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: How's that Snow White movie doing on pace to lose
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: overall one hundred and fifty million dollars, not make lose
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: in the hole? How about the de Niro movie? It's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: made about like eight bucks so far in national theories?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: That was a bomb as well? How about the other
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: latest big bomb? Remember the cap Does anybody remember the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Captain America movie? It came out a few weeks ago. Bomb?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But again, what's the Hollywood mindset? Oh, it's our fault, right,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you know, hard work in American people don't well, we
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: don't understand, right, we're not ready for these certain things. Right,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's because your movies suck. Did you ever think
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: about that? Well, amazingly, apparently, guys, they're not thinking about that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Variety, which is supposedly the industry standard
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: for Hollywood, and you're wondering why I'm talking about entertainment.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: It's not really about that so much. It's about culture.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It's about what's going on in society that you know,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the entertainments. Just a downstream from that, let's go to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: an article that came out in Variety just a couple
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of years ago. You're ready for this. You're not gonna
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: believe it. Here's the headline, texting weed and sing alongs
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: for radical ideas for bringing new audiences to movie theaters.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Guess what they didn't mention anywhere in the article. Huh guys,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: maybe we should uh oh yeah, not make movies that suck.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: How about that idea? I'll read a little bit more
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: further into the article. Ready for this. From selling pot
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: along with popcorn to offering cell phone friendly screenings, cinema
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: owners could soon overhaul the way that customers watch films.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: These changes, once considered sacrilegious, may give the box office
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a much needed boost. You know, it would give them
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a boost make better movies, you freaking idiots. Can you
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: imagine that? And I'm telling you, and out full disclosure,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I'll say this to you honestly as somebody who's quite
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a big fan of his pot gummies on a Friday night.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'm not anti pot at all.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I think it has more benefits than detractions. I do not,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, want weed in movie theaters.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: First of all, it offends me that they think that's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the answer to bring people back to the theater, because
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: it's so stupid. Right, make better movies, you morons. Secondly,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you're never gonna get rid of it. Then how are
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you gonna tell a cigarette smoker that they can't bring
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: weed into the movie theater?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Well, this guy lit up a big blunt. Why can't
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I bring a mambro? And that guy would make a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: good point. It's not about making better movies. It's about well,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: let's let them have cell phones. Oh that's another good Oh,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: that's a great movie experience. Right. Oh, and singalongs. Let's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: make all the movie sing alongs. Oh, there's another great idea.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: They don't get it. The ole reason why I bring
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: it up is not so much because of the pot.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: It's the fact that they don't understand audiences at all.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Your reaction, I'll tell you what mine is. I will
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: never I'll never go to a theater that allows that.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I'll never do because you're never gotta get rid of it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: You're just not You're not gonna get rid of it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: You can't tell the cigarette smokers they can't come, so
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have that in there too. And you got
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: people talking out loud on their cell phones while you're
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: trying to watch a movie, all while you paid what
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: for a family of four seventy eighty bucks to get
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: in there? How about the lines too? How about the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: concession line right and again, I say this as somebody
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: who's a pretty big fan of pot at least pot gummies.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: How about the line of concessions. They're long enough. You're
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: gonna have people sitting there going looking at the menu, going, oh,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, to a pimply face seventeen year old
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: kid who's just as high behind the counter, who can't
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: figure out your exact change. Oh it's a terrible idea,
• 20:09
