Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: The power of being Petty. We got a little personal
- 0:08Speaker 1: life tip story to share with you that I meant
- 0:10Speaker 1: to get to yesterday but it kind of ran out
- 0:11Speaker 1: of time. But it fits in perfectly today because there's
- 0:13Speaker 1: a viral video story to talk about We're a Lady,
- 0:16Speaker 1: and I'm not sure where it was. I think it
- 0:18Speaker 1: was in the Midwest somewhere and it was coming off Instagram,
- 0:20Speaker 1: so I don't know the location. Talk about Petty she
- 0:23Speaker 1: paid off her seventy five dollars parking ticket was seventy
- 0:26Speaker 1: five hundred pennies. Get your reaction on that one too.
- 0:30Speaker 1: A little bit of news to talk about as well.
- 0:31Speaker 1: What the heck is this big Trump announcement? If he
- 0:34Speaker 1: ever writes another book, it's gonna be the art of
- 0:36Speaker 1: the tease because he's perfecting it and there's a method
- 0:40Speaker 1: to the madness, I think, because he gets more attention
- 0:42Speaker 1: that way, and he gets like three four days of
- 0:45Speaker 1: play in the news cycle instead of like just one.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We'll talk about that, and a reminder about that real
- 0:50Speaker 1: id rule that goes into effect today. If you're flying
- 0:54Speaker 1: today and you don't have that real idea, got you know,
- 0:57Speaker 1: handled already And in Florida, with mine. It's a little
- 0:59Speaker 1: star in the corner. I've had it for a while.
- 1:00Speaker 1: We've had to get it for a while. It's going
- 1:03Speaker 1: to be a big delay at the airports, so we'll
- 1:04Speaker 1: talk about that as well. But first and foremost, thanks
- 1:07Speaker 1: for being here. Thanks for finding Wicked Radio, the live

- 1:20Speaker 1: I think interactive and to do that. And as I know,
- 1:23Speaker 1: I hear you, Facebook is a pain as well. I
- 1:26Speaker 1: get it. I go through it as well, but it's
- 1:28Speaker 1: still good for building communities and it's still where most
- 1:31Speaker 1: people go. It really is. I mean, Meta is a joke.
- 1:34Speaker 1: That is the worst designed app, just a Facebook app.
- 1:38Speaker 1: If you're still on it on your phone, it's just
- 1:40Speaker 1: it's awful to try to deal with. But that's where

- 1:58Speaker 1: other good stuff. All right, let's get to it, all right,
- 2:01Speaker 1: little personal wicked wisdom tip of the day for you
- 2:03Speaker 1: from my personal life yesterday, and it meant to get
- 2:05Speaker 1: to this yesterday, but it fits in perfect today. Which
- 2:09Speaker 1: things seem to come in themes, don't they. Well, let's
- 2:11Speaker 1: talk about pettiness. What nobody ever wants to tell you,
- 2:15Speaker 1: for some reason, nobody ever talks about this is how
- 2:18Speaker 1: effective being petty can be, because I guess it's not
- 2:21Speaker 1: acceptable in polite society. I guess I don't know, and
- 2:24Speaker 1: I think the reason why is pettiness is just a
- 2:28Speaker 1: nice way of saying being an asshole. It's just effective.
- 2:31Speaker 1: It's just true. It just is. Doesn't mean it doesn't
- 2:34Speaker 1: work in certain circumstances, because when you're faced with a
- 2:38Speaker 1: stupid rule, something that's yes, technical, technically correct by the
- 2:43Speaker 1: letter of the law, but it's getting in the way
- 2:46Speaker 1: of you getting something done, and it could be easily overlooked.
- 2:49Speaker 1: It's just a technicality, it's a formality. Being petty in
- 2:53Speaker 1: that circumstance is really effective. It just is. Let me
- 2:57Speaker 1: explain what I went through like I said, I meant
- 2:59Speaker 1: to get to this yesterday, but it's perfect timing to
- 3:00Speaker 1: talk about it now. You know my story. I've been
- 3:02Speaker 1: talking about this like for now. Oh my god, this
- 3:04Speaker 1: is like a week I've been up here in New
- 3:07Speaker 1: York City because my daughter's surgery and everything's going great
- 3:09Speaker 1: and she's discharged out of the hospital and we're flying
- 3:11Speaker 1: home hopefully tomorrow and all that good stuff. Discharge day
- 3:15Speaker 1: the day before yesterday, which is one of the most
- 3:19Speaker 1: stressful things like ever if you've ever gone through it,
- 3:21Speaker 1: and that we really we're so blessed. My family hasn't
- 3:24Speaker 1: had to deal with a lot of hospital things at all,
- 3:27Speaker 1: except for this one. With my daughter's It's a spinal
- 3:29Speaker 1: surgery thing and everything went great, but you discharge and
- 3:34Speaker 1: they have to bring it down in a wheelchair. So
- 3:36Speaker 1: I have to go downstairs to deal with that. I
- 3:38Speaker 1: have to get that ready while I'm ordering the uber
- 3:41Speaker 1: outside the uber guy's waiting and caught like cabs three
- 3:48Speaker 1: deep are honking at him. Because I have to do that.
- 3:50Speaker 1: He has to wait in a certain spot to get
- 3:52Speaker 1: the wheelchair in. I have to go grab her real quick.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I have to do. You know, I've got some luggage
- 3:56Speaker 1: with me. Whatever it is, what it is. Ninety nine
- 3:59Speaker 1: percent I think I told this. Ninety nine percent of
- 4:01Speaker 1: the people I dealt with at this hospital were unbelievably fantastic,
- 4:05Speaker 1: like superheroes. I don't even know how they do what
- 4:08Speaker 1: they do. At the worst possible time, at the worst
- 4:11Speaker 1: possible moment, I deal with the biggest tool bag you
- 4:15Speaker 1: could ever deal with. In that situation. It's just a
- 4:17Speaker 1: persnickety little dufus at the front who says, sir, sirh
- 4:22Speaker 1: you can't go up there. There's only three people around
- 4:24Speaker 1: allowed in the room. Now, mind you, that's true, that's
- 4:28Speaker 1: a rule, it is. It's just he's right, he's right
- 4:30Speaker 1: about that. All week, that's not been a problem. All week,
- 4:35Speaker 1: there's been no problem whatsoever, and they've been extremely helpful.
- 4:38Speaker 1: This one idiot who just started a shift makes it
- 4:40Speaker 1: a problem. I had to contact the uber guy and
- 4:43Speaker 1: he said, look, I can't get up there right now.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Just go. We'll call for the next one. Whatever it is.
- 4:46Speaker 1: You gotta arrange for like a special one that'll fit in.
- 4:50Speaker 1: You know, somebody with a lot of like cushionings. Is
- 4:52Speaker 1: the Blumpy Rose in Manhattan. So I'm like, all right,
- 4:55Speaker 1: no problem. I text my wife has said this is
- 4:57Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit, but give me a couple
- 4:58Speaker 1: of minutes because I'll handle up on this. So I said,
- 5:02Speaker 1: argue with him. I told him it's not been a problem.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Wouldn't budge, wouldn't let me up, wouldn't let me up
- 5:06Speaker 1: to discharge my daughter. I just I need one minute
- 5:08Speaker 1: to get up an elevator and get her out of
- 5:10Speaker 1: there and get out of this hospital. Fine, sorry everybody.
- 5:12Speaker 1: So I said, fine, that's okay. So I just stepped
- 5:15Speaker 1: to the side where the front desk is in a
- 5:18Speaker 1: massive building. Sorry, you're gonna have to stand out. You
- 5:20Speaker 1: can't stand there. I just I didn't respond, So I
- 5:23Speaker 1: just stood there. Security guy was fine, he was fine,
- 5:25Speaker 1: I'm god, any problem. So I'm just standing there staring
- 5:28Speaker 1: at him. He's giving me side eye, looking at me
- 5:32Speaker 1: back and forth, because I'm gonna wear him down. I
- 5:35Speaker 1: just am. I'm a master at pettiness. He deals with
- 5:38Speaker 1: one person, another person through his line. Another person finally
- 5:43Speaker 1: got so sick of me sitting there standing there staring
- 5:47Speaker 1: at him. If I said, okay, sir, just go ahead
- 5:50Speaker 1: and go ahead and up, go ahead, and go up there.
- 5:54Speaker 1: My pettiness in that situation I knew was going to
- 5:56Speaker 1: work because I don't think he had the mental toughness
- 5:58Speaker 1: to deal with somebody. I was going to stare at
- 6:00Speaker 1: him the whole time, just doing nothing, just staring at them, waiting. Right,
- 6:04Speaker 1: it worked. Now you're thinking, well, Billy, you're just being
- 6:07Speaker 1: kind of an asshole. The guy's just doing his job,
- 6:09Speaker 1: and you're right. But like I said, nobody ever wants
- 6:13Speaker 1: to say this, pettiness is a nice way of saying
- 6:15Speaker 1: you're being an asshole. It was I being an asshole
- 6:18Speaker 1: in that situation one hundred percent, but it needed to
- 6:21Speaker 1: to get through with that moral of the story. And
- 6:23Speaker 1: the wicked wisdom tip of the day is when you're
- 6:25Speaker 1: dealing and is this only applies when you're dealing with
- 6:28Speaker 1: a stupid rule that is getting in your way of
- 6:31Speaker 1: something you need to do. They could be easily be overlooked,
- 6:34Speaker 1: like don't do this when you know for no reason whatsoever.
- 6:38Speaker 1: The takeaway is it works. There's power in pettiness when
- 6:44Speaker 1: you have to use it. Perfect example, and this is
- 6:47Speaker 1: why I wanted to talk about this today. It ties
- 6:48Speaker 1: in did you see this viral video of a lady,
- 6:51Speaker 1: and they don't say where, because I think this one
- 6:53Speaker 1: came from Instagram. She had a seventy five dollars parking ticket.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And I don't think I've ever been this petty, to
- 7:00Speaker 1: be honest with you, and this, this is a whole
- 7:02Speaker 1: new level. But again it worked. And she shows up
- 7:05Speaker 1: at the parking place, which is a private entity. You
- 7:07Speaker 1: know a lot of cities and counties use like private
- 7:10Speaker 1: towing services, and you got to go there and get
- 7:11Speaker 1: your car out and pay the fee and whatever the
- 7:13Speaker 1: hell it is. She obviously had had a beef with whatever.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Her parking ticket was for seventy five bucks, and she
- 7:20Speaker 1: rolls in with seventy five hundred pennies. I've never been
- 7:25Speaker 1: that petty. But again, let's see if it works. So
- 7:28Speaker 1: here she is dumping it out on the counter. We'll
- 7:33Speaker 1: get to the clerk attendant in a second, dumping it
- 7:36Speaker 1: out onto the counter, paying her thing. Now he tried.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I don't blame him at all. It's not his fault.
- 7:40Speaker 1: He comes out. This is the guy that works there,
- 7:42Speaker 1: and he says, man, we don't we don't have a
- 7:43Speaker 1: counter on here, so they can't they can't accept it.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Her response legendary petty. Oh god, yeah, but legendary. This
- 7:52Speaker 1: is what it sounded like. I'm account here.
- 7:53Speaker 2: They want to say it too.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Okay, Well here's what I'll do. Do you have a
- 7:57Speaker 1: like use this ten.
- 8:00Speaker 2: For sure?
- 8:01Speaker 1: So okay, So if there's any problems, you're more than
- 8:04Speaker 1: welcome to call me. But as of right now, the
- 8:06Speaker 1: payment's been made seventy five. It's seventy five dollars. There
- 8:10Speaker 1: you go, see you later see it. Call me if
- 8:12Speaker 1: you have a problem now again like my situation in
- 8:15Speaker 1: the hospital, Well, you're just being an asshole. True. Oh
- 8:19Speaker 1: I don't think I admit it, and I think she
- 8:21Speaker 1: would admit it too, no doubt about that. And I
- 8:24Speaker 1: know a lot of comments on this video, which now
- 8:26Speaker 1: has like like hundreds of thousands of hits. Lote of
- 8:29Speaker 1: the comments are it's not the clerk's fault, it's not
- 8:32Speaker 1: his problem to deal with it. Oh, I understand that,
- 8:34Speaker 1: but it's probably not her fault either. And whatever this
- 8:36Speaker 1: parking ticket was, who the hell knows, Because let's be honest,
- 8:39Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff is just a scam for
- 8:41Speaker 1: the county or city or municipality to make a lot
- 8:43Speaker 1: of money. Whatever. Bottom line is. I guess the follow
- 8:46Speaker 1: up to this story was it worked? It's cash good?
- 8:51Speaker 1: A coin in my pocket isn't good anymore just because
- 8:53Speaker 1: you don't have a counter. She's exactly right. So was
- 8:56Speaker 1: it petty? Was it a pain for that and that
- 9:00Speaker 1: worker to have to deal with that? Oh? Yeah, oh absolutely.
- 9:04Speaker 1: But here's my question for you. Was it effective? Yeah? Yeah,
- 9:09Speaker 1: I was. Nobody ever wants to tell you that. But sometimes,
- 9:12Speaker 1: and only sometimes, in certain circumstances, when you're dealt with
- 9:15Speaker 1: a bullshit rule, you acting shitty works. That's the power
- 9:19Speaker 1: of pittiness. I'm just telling you. Sometimes it applies, especially
- 9:23Speaker 1: in a high pressure situation. All right, there's some news
- 9:26Speaker 1: to talk about. What the heck is Trump teasing with this?
- 9:29Speaker 1: Did you see this? It could be anything. And you
- 9:32Speaker 1: know Paul market the online betting they do, like current
- 9:35Speaker 1: events betting, They have all kinds of different things. We're
- 9:37Speaker 1: gonna come up with our own. When he was meeting
- 9:39Speaker 1: with the Prime Minister of Canada of that new guy,
- 9:41Speaker 1: and oh boy, did that was that a power play?
- 9:44Speaker 1: Trump did that thing where he met him outside the
- 9:46Speaker 1: White House and the carport thing and he's shaking his
- 9:48Speaker 1: hand for like fifteen minutes and pulling a board and
- 9:50Speaker 1: you know, treating him like a little kid brother. I
- 9:52Speaker 1: thought he was gonna like pet him on the head
- 9:54Speaker 1: for a second. There. That's a classic Trump move. But
- 9:57Speaker 1: so is this now art of the deal. If he
- 10:00Speaker 1: ever has time to write another book, it's going to
- 10:02Speaker 1: be art of the teas. He does this a lot now,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and it's really good, it's really effective. Now, a lot
- 10:08Speaker 1: of people get all bent out of shape because they're
- 10:09Speaker 1: they're so focused on Trump the showman, the obnoxious things
- 10:13Speaker 1: he says, the insults. Yeah, the teas is the different
- 10:16Speaker 1: things compared to you know, the leader, the administrator. Right,
- 10:19Speaker 1: if you get caught up in the Trump showman, he's
- 10:21Speaker 1: gonna drive you insane. That's my theory. I think a
- 10:24Speaker 1: lot of the people with Trump derangement syndrome, they only
- 10:26Speaker 1: see the they only see the show of it. But
- 10:29Speaker 1: he does it for a reason. Now, with this tease
- 10:32Speaker 1: that he said, and I'll get you here in a second,
- 10:34Speaker 1: he gets three, four, five days of the news cycle
- 10:37Speaker 1: instead of just one where whatever the hell he's talking
- 10:40Speaker 1: about actually happens. I think that's I think that's why
- 10:43Speaker 1: he does it. Anyway, this is what the Teas sounded
- 10:46Speaker 1: like just yesterday about some kind of a big announcement.
- 10:49Speaker 1: You and I are going to make our own guess
- 10:50Speaker 1: as to what the hell he's talking about. I think
- 10:52Speaker 1: before then we're gonna have a very very big announcement
- 10:55Speaker 1: to make, like as big as it gets.
- 10:58Speaker 2: And I won't tell you on what, but.
- 11:00Speaker 1: It's gonna be and it's very positive. I'd also I
- 11:03Speaker 1: tell you who is negative or positive? I can't keep
- 11:05Speaker 1: that up. It is, he said, it's going to be
- 11:08Speaker 1: very puzz very much biggest announcement of about time. Nobody
- 11:12Speaker 1: said it could be done. It's unbelievable. You know, everything's
- 11:14Speaker 1: big hype and you know, big and boisterous and whatever
- 11:18Speaker 1: it is. Like I said, he gets the attention that
- 11:20Speaker 1: way to whatever he's talking about. He gets more eyeballs
- 11:22Speaker 1: focused on him. That's why he does it this way
- 11:24Speaker 1: because he's a promoter. He's a he's a he's a
- 11:27Speaker 1: he's a basically a television marketer, is what he is.
- 11:31Speaker 1: And he understands how to do that. He understands how
- 11:33Speaker 1: to negotiate and get attention to whatever he's going to do.
- 11:36Speaker 1: So it's a bunch of guesses on what this is.
- 11:40Speaker 1: He said it's a very big deal and very positive
- 11:42Speaker 1: for this country. Didn't necessarily say our country, but he's
- 11:46Speaker 1: America first, so you know it's going to be US.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Could be a bunch of different things. Polymarket, which is
- 11:51Speaker 1: always fun to follow. You know. You can you can
- 11:54Speaker 1: lay odds and they make their own odds and you
- 11:56Speaker 1: can bet for or against it on all kinds of
- 11:57Speaker 1: world events, like the new Pulpe they have like they
- 12:00Speaker 1: have like betting odds in the new Pope, or they're
- 12:01Speaker 1: big on elections, or you know, if things are going
- 12:04Speaker 1: to you know, pass, whatever it is. They've got their
- 12:06Speaker 1: own ideas. You and I will come up with it.
- 12:08Speaker 1: What could this trade deal be? Oh, I kind of
- 12:13Speaker 1: snuck it out there. I think it's a trade deal
- 12:14Speaker 1: with somebody. I think it's a trade deal with China. Maybe.
- 12:17Speaker 1: But he's making this announcement before he says that the
- 12:20Speaker 1: trip to the Middle East. I guess he's going to
- 12:23Speaker 1: the UAE. Maybe it's an oil deal, maybe could be.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Maybe it's something about tariffs with China. But I think
- 12:31Speaker 1: maybe it's an oil deal that would make sense with
- 12:33Speaker 1: the UAE or Saudi Arabia. Maybe could that be Maybe
- 12:37Speaker 1: we're buying Greenland. Maybe that's fifty first state thing's gonna
- 12:42Speaker 1: happen after all, But it's not Canada's Greenland. I have
- 12:45Speaker 1: no idea. Maybe it's some sort of like geopolitical strategic
- 12:48Speaker 1: kind of thing. Maybe rake Javik's beautiful this time of year.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, but well, let's layer let's
- 12:55Speaker 1: lay our own ods of what this actually could be.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Maybe he's really running for Pope, like the meme says.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Somebody made up that meme In the White House official
- 13:03Speaker 1: account post, he says, yeah, you know what, maybe I will.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I'll put my name in the hat to run for pole,
- 13:09Speaker 1: possibly talking about Chick fil A open on Sundays. Maybe
- 13:12Speaker 1: that's it. I have no idea. Could be fun. I
- 13:15Speaker 1: think it's gonna be big. I think it's gonna be serious.
- 13:18Speaker 1: My here's my guess. I think it's gonna be I
- 13:21Speaker 1: think it's gonna be an oil deal. Because all of
- 13:23Speaker 1: this stuff he's talked about about fixing the economy and
- 13:25Speaker 1: getting out of this debt spiral that we're in we're in,
- 13:29Speaker 1: he's talked about all coming from energy prices. So if
- 13:31Speaker 1: you knock the cost of fuel production imports down. You know,
- 13:36Speaker 1: maybe that's it. My second guess is some kind of
- 13:38Speaker 1: a tariff deal, trade deal with China. I don't know.
- 13:41Speaker 1: We'll see. I'll say this, I swear to god. If
- 13:45Speaker 1: this is one of these freakin' Trump Organization coined announcements again,
- 13:50Speaker 1: after all this, I'm done. Oh my god, remember that,
- 13:53Speaker 1: because I think it was the last time he did
- 13:55Speaker 1: this where he teased something and this was only online.
- 13:57Speaker 1: It wasn't at an official White House event where he
- 14:00Speaker 1: he's a big announcement and everybody was all excited about it.
- 14:03Speaker 1: This is during the campaign, and it was for the
- 14:04Speaker 1: Trump coin or it was a meme coin or something.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Oh my god, if even me, if he ever does that,
- 14:11Speaker 1: I'm out on the teases. I'll never listen again. But
- 14:14Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think that's gonna happen.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Who knows, But again, the takeaway is art of the tease,
- 14:21Speaker 1: He's going to get people talking about this for like
- 14:23Speaker 1: five days ahead of time, So we'll see what happens
- 14:25Speaker 1: with it. I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. Here's another
- 14:28Speaker 1: reminder of what's going on today, and this is the day.
- 14:31Speaker 1: It's May seventh. Real id has to be implemented. They've
- 14:37Speaker 1: actually talked about this for years that it's happened. This
- 14:40Speaker 1: kind of struck me as odd because I kind of
- 14:42Speaker 1: thought at this point in the game, everybody had this.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I've had it for a long time. In Florida, my
- 14:47Speaker 1: home state, we've got a little star in the corner
- 14:49Speaker 1: of the thing. I don't know, I've just I've had
- 14:51Speaker 1: it for a while. But it could be a nightmare
- 14:53Speaker 1: if you didn't jump on this and you have to
- 14:54Speaker 1: fly from today on. So here here's a little write
- 14:57Speaker 1: up and we'll get to what I think this is
- 15:00Speaker 1: really all about. Why they're cracking down on this now.
- 15:02Speaker 1: In a second, here's my write up I found on this.
- 15:05Speaker 1: If you don't have one, it's going to be tough.
- 15:06Speaker 1: TSA is saying, if you're over eighteen and don't have
- 15:09Speaker 1: real ID, you got to get to the airport at
- 15:12Speaker 1: least three hours early. Oh God, that right there should
- 15:17Speaker 1: get you handled up on this, because that's just that's awful.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Maybe we all have to get to the airport, and
- 15:23Speaker 1: we all have to get to the airport tomorrow even earlier,
- 15:25Speaker 1: because people will be screwed up by this. I don't know,
- 15:27Speaker 1: you'll be subject to DeLay's additional screening. You should also
- 15:31Speaker 1: bring They say this is coming from the TSA as
- 15:33Speaker 1: many forms of idea as possible to make it through
- 15:36Speaker 1: security checkpoints. Okay, a few acceptable real IDs. And this
- 15:39Speaker 1: is where it gets weird. State issued enhanced driver's license.
- 15:44Speaker 1: That's the thing where they have a little stamp of
- 15:46Speaker 1: real idea on there. A US passport or passport card okay, DHS,
- 15:51Speaker 1: Trusted Traveler cards, Global Entry Nexus, sentry or fast all right,
- 15:57Speaker 1: A US Department of Defense idea makes sense. A foreign
- 16:00Speaker 1: government issued passport, huh. A Canadian driver's license, what all right?
- 16:09Speaker 1: A transportation worker identification credential, US citizenship, immigration employment authorization,
- 16:14Speaker 1: US merchant, a veteran health ident Okay, here's the bottom line.
- 16:17Speaker 1: You got to get this real. Li D think I
- 16:18Speaker 1: know a lot of and everybody's personal identity and digital
- 16:23Speaker 1: privacy is their own choice. I totally get that. Believe me,
- 16:26Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm just telling you it's going to be.
- 16:28Speaker 1: They are cracking down on this. I think Christy Nolm,
- 16:32Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security secretary, gave up the goods.
- 16:35Speaker 1: I think it was Fox and Friends yesterday on the
- 16:38Speaker 1: Real reason why after all these years, they're cracking down
- 16:40Speaker 1: on this. I think it has to do with election security.
- 16:45Speaker 1: This is what she said. I think she gave up
- 16:47Speaker 1: the big hint on what this is all about. This
- 16:50Speaker 1: is from yesterday when they were asking her. But she's
- 16:52Speaker 1: been talking about this thing for months. But this is
- 16:54Speaker 1: what she said in the middle of the interviewing.
- 16:57Speaker 2: There's nineteen states right now that issue driver's licenses to
- 17:00Speaker 2: illegal aliens. Wow, if we make sure that they're real
- 17:03Speaker 2: ID compliant, it helps us get to election integrity as well. Ah.
- 17:09Speaker 1: I think we found it. I think that's what it's
- 17:11Speaker 1: about personally. If that's what it's all about, and securing
- 17:15Speaker 1: these elections and election and integrity, I'm in. I'm for it.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I know that it's a pain. I know that people
- 17:20Speaker 1: are saying it's just a it's just a one step
- 17:23Speaker 1: closer to the ship, implant in your head and they
- 17:26Speaker 1: can control you. I don't know whatever. I don't know.
- 17:28Speaker 1: I think they're you know what, whenever I hear a
- 17:30Speaker 1: lot of those kind of conspiracy theories, I don't think
- 17:32Speaker 1: the government's capable of belove that they're not smart enough
- 17:35Speaker 1: for that. But your privacy and your digital security is
- 17:39Speaker 1: your choice. Big picture, if this cracks down on illegal voting, personally,
- 17:45Speaker 1: I'm in and I've had it anyway. I don't know.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I think we had to in Florida. I don't know
- 17:48Speaker 1: what it was. But just a reminder, just a little
- 17:50Speaker 1: tip there, because if you're going to be flying anytime soon,
- 17:52Speaker 1: they are cracking down on this. They're deadly serious about it.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So get real id takeaways today. Thanks so much for
- 17:58Speaker 1: hanging out with me again. The Wicked Wisdom takeaway pettiness,
- 18:06Speaker 1: although kind of ass wholy, works in certain situations you're
- 18:10Speaker 1: just joining us, but only certain situations where you're dealing
- 18:13Speaker 1: with a rotten petty rule. Don't just be that way
- 18:15Speaker 1: all the time. And that real id thing. I don't know.
- 18:20Speaker 1: And if you have any other ideas on the comments
- 18:22Speaker 1: about what this Trump teases all about, put him in
- 18:24Speaker 1: the comments. I'd love to see what you think. I
- 18:27Speaker 1: don't think he's running for pope, but we'll see. I
