Wicked Radio 6-10: Riots Backfiring Bigly & Great News For Parents - Gen Z Doesn't Drink · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:03
Speaker 1: Well, I think we've got the proof now in the
0:05
Speaker 1: pudding as they say that these riots in LA are
0:08
Speaker 1: going very very badly. I mean, it's a bad thing
0:11
Speaker 1: in general. Obviously, you never want to see these kinds
0:13
Speaker 1: of things, scenes, incidents, you know, insurrection if you want
0:19
Speaker 1: to go that far on the streets. But as far
0:21
Speaker 1: as who's organizing them and what they were hoping to
0:24
Speaker 1: get out of this, and now we know they're organized,
0:25
Speaker 1: and I have some proof for you coming up here
0:26
Speaker 1: in just a second. It's not going well. It's not
0:30
Speaker 1: having the desired effect, including spreading out into some other cities,
0:34
Speaker 1: which I'm sure you've all heard about, because that's already
0:37
Speaker 1: been attempted and it got put down like right away,
0:40
Speaker 1: And amazingly, even CNN had to talk about Trump's immigration
0:45
Speaker 1: numbers and his stance on immigration, how that skyrocketed up,
0:47
Speaker 1: and we'll give you an update on the LA riots.
0:49
Speaker 1: What's going on with all that stuff. It's not good,
0:53
Speaker 1: but it's not having the effect, but it won't be
0:55
Speaker 1: all riot related stuff. Also talk about how the media
0:59
Speaker 1: is covering this whole thing, and an amazing story about
1:02
Speaker 1: drinking and gen Z they don't drink now immediately that's
1:07
Speaker 1: bad for the alcohol industry, but you know, that is
1:10
Speaker 1: what it is. But it's good for everybody else. And
1:12
Speaker 1: it's good for my fellow parents who are trying to
1:15
Speaker 1: tell your kids about the dangers of too much drinking,
1:18
Speaker 1: you know, and the after effects of it. But it's
1:20
Speaker 1: a stunning statistic that just came out that looks to
1:23
Speaker 1: be pretty much provable. And it affected my own life
1:27
Speaker 1: here because I have a daughter that just turned twenty
1:28
Speaker 1: one and she was telling me about this. Among her generation,
1:31
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. I don't know what they're going to be into,
1:34
Speaker 1: but it's great for kids who have no interest whatsoever
1:37
Speaker 1: in getting into alcohol, so maybe they'll turn to something else.
1:40
Speaker 1: I don't know, but digging into a big societal story
1:43
Speaker 1: on that one. Thanks for finding Wicked Radio. I appreciate
1:45
Speaker 1: you so much. Here is the live stream you're watching
1:48
Speaker 1: on the replay later on our next Make sure you
1:50
Speaker 1: follow put notifications on all that good stuff. Audio podcast
1:53
Speaker 1: will be posted wherever you like to get those in
1:55
Speaker 1: just a little bit. But in the meantime, let's get
1:56
Speaker 1: a little update what's going on. Let's check in on
1:58
Speaker 1: the soothing sounds of downtown Los Angeles. Right now, let's
2:02
Speaker 1: put our ears to the west or west and see
2:06
Speaker 1: what that sounds. It's fantastic, doesn't it. There you go?
2:13
Speaker 1: Actually not fair. That was last night. That was some
2:15
Speaker 1: rioting in the wee morning hours of LA time. They're
2:18
Speaker 1: probably all sleeping right now, but that continued last night.
2:21
Speaker 1: It was amazing. One of the LA news stations had
2:24
Speaker 1: Mayor Karen Bass. She had a couple of press conferences
2:26
Speaker 1: yesterday live on the air, as one of their helicopter
2:30
Speaker 1: cameras zoomed in on some of the riding, and she's
2:31
Speaker 1: sitting there going oh oh no, oh, oh no, that's bad,
2:36
Speaker 1: which gives you an idea of this picture they're trying
2:39
Speaker 1: to portray. There's two different things going on here. There's
2:42
Speaker 1: two different movies being shown at the same time. What
2:45
Speaker 1: everybody is seeing, what everybody says in real time, street reporters,
2:50
Speaker 1: independent media, even the local channels out there, the national
2:54
Speaker 1: networks have been covering this for all to see. It's
2:57
Speaker 1: like you can't hide it, Like even if you wanted
2:59
Speaker 1: to pay away and stay away from the worst of
3:01
Speaker 1: the riding, you can't. There's just too much of it. Right.
3:05
Speaker 1: Everybody sees it and yet you've got media people telling you, well,
3:09
Speaker 1: this is really no different that one of the there
3:11
Speaker 1: was an LA official that actually said yesterday on the
3:14
Speaker 1: air on one of their local stations, it's nothing different
3:17
Speaker 1: than after celebrating a championship game. So they're trying their
3:22
Speaker 1: absolute best to try to cover this up, and they're
3:27
Speaker 1: on like day four of this thing now and to
3:28
Speaker 1: try to tell you that this this is just normal.
3:30
Speaker 1: This is just normal, This is a normal thing, while
3:33
Speaker 1: the rest of the country is going, uh no, it's not.
3:36
Speaker 1: And now we're hearing from a lot of LA residents
3:38
Speaker 1: that don't live in that particular area going, yeah, I
3:40
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't go down there. It's a shithole.
3:42
Speaker 1: I won't go. But it's backfiring incredibly badly in so
3:47
Speaker 1: many different ways. Now. The argument yesterday, and I talked
3:50
Speaker 1: about this a little bit yesterday, it seems obvious to
3:52
Speaker 1: anybody with two working eyeballs and two brain cells that
3:56
Speaker 1: this is organized by somebody. And we went into some
3:59
Speaker 1: of the organisations that have been funding this thing, some
4:01
Speaker 1: NGOs that actually got millions of dollars, tens of millions
4:06
Speaker 1: of dollars from State California, money from taxpayers, and it
4:10
Speaker 1: winds up, you know, being funded and organizing some of
4:14
Speaker 1: these riots. So that's all been published. Everybody's aware of
4:18
Speaker 1: it now. But again, what really matters in this digital
4:20
Speaker 1: age is when you see it with your own eyeballs,
4:22
Speaker 1: when you see it when you happen to tune in
4:24
Speaker 1: in a lunch break or you get home from work
4:27
Speaker 1: yesterday and you actually tune into some of the media
4:28
Speaker 1: and you see this stuff and you're going, I'm looking
4:31
Speaker 1: at this right now, and there's so much coverage of
4:35
Speaker 1: it that it can't be untrue. And yet they'll have
4:38
Speaker 1: these talking heads on afterwards telling you that's not happening,
4:42
Speaker 1: it's not organized. These are just people who are trying
4:46
Speaker 1: to fight for their rights. Right well, nobody's believing it anymore,
4:51
Speaker 1: including because of this. Now, this is again a clip,
4:54
Speaker 1: and I know this is mostly a visual, but this
4:57
Speaker 1: is one of the LA News station's helicopters zooming in
5:00
Speaker 1: on one of the intersections about mid afternoon LA time yesterday,
5:05
Speaker 1: and this is what they saw. A truck two trucks
5:08
Speaker 1: pull up with supplies in the back, okay, and you'll
5:11
Speaker 1: hear the news anchor looking at the coverage, looking at
5:13
Speaker 1: the monitor on his desk as it's happening and listen
5:17
Speaker 1: to what he describes as what's in the back of
5:19
Speaker 1: the truck and being handed out because it's incredible, and
5:22
Speaker 1: this is one of those things. This is why their
5:25
Speaker 1: coverage of not that news station. This is why the
5:28
Speaker 1: talking heads and the politicians and the propagandas are losing
5:33
Speaker 1: this argument day by day as it goes on, because
5:36
Speaker 1: you can't fool people anymore. Here's a Fox LA just yesterday.
5:39
Speaker 2: Describe where it just feels like something's going to happen
5:43
Speaker 2: and you're waiting for it to happen, and you can
5:47
Speaker 2: look around. You see the National Guard in front of
5:50
Speaker 2: the Federal building. But as far as this intersection where
5:53
Speaker 2: we're seeing all this would take place, there's no local
5:56
Speaker 2: police to be seen. Yeah, and we have people handing
5:58
Speaker 2: out masks and gas masks. We just saw people defeating
6:02
Speaker 2: the sidewalk right in front of this truck, and we've
6:05
Speaker 2: seen people between burnouts in the street, and there's no
6:07
Speaker 2: local law enforcement around.
6:08
Speaker 1: Because they're overwhelmed. He's talking about local law enforcement, the LAPD.
6:12
Speaker 1: They're completely overwhelmed. So here's the first update on that one.
6:17
Speaker 1: The White House the administration is up to four thousand
6:20
Speaker 1: National Guard. They've approved another two thousand that'll be heading
6:23
Speaker 1: to La if they're not there already. And now semperfy
6:27
Speaker 1: La seven hundred marines are on their way. And oh
6:32
Speaker 1: this has caused the big reaction. Oh, what kind of
6:34
Speaker 1: government would do that? One that wants to help the
6:37
Speaker 1: innocent civilians in a city that's been overrun by anarchy.
6:41
Speaker 1: That's what kind of government does that? Absolutely back to
6:44
Speaker 1: a quick second, quick update on what he was talking about.
6:47
Speaker 1: They're handing out supplies looks like gas masks. Here's what
6:50
Speaker 1: else they were handing out while he was talking. And
6:53
Speaker 1: I don't think he was able to actually read this
6:55
Speaker 1: live on the air. The guy's under pressure. The TV
6:58
Speaker 1: news helicopters zoomed in on one of the boxes that
7:00
Speaker 1: this guy was handing out in the back of a
7:03
Speaker 1: pickup truck, right on the side. As it so happens,
7:07
Speaker 1: the label of the big industrial white box that he
7:10
Speaker 1: put on the street couple of them was Bionic Face Shields. No,
7:18
Speaker 1: not for the cops. No, that wasn't from the National Guard. No,
7:23
Speaker 1: these are supplies of gas masks. And I'm reading it again,
7:28
Speaker 1: Bionic Face shields in boxes being hand out, handed out
7:31
Speaker 1: to rioters and protesters. But yeah, it's it's all organic
7:35
Speaker 1: and that's not funded. There's your proof, and that's what
7:38
Speaker 1: people see now when people see a clip like that,
7:40
Speaker 1: and that clip from Fox LA has gone viral, It's
7:43
Speaker 1: been seen millions of times now across the country. Okay,
7:47
Speaker 1: imagine thinking before yesterday, this is totally organic. These are
7:53
Speaker 1: just people who want to fight against you know, the
7:56
Speaker 1: immigration crackdown. They want to protest against ice. Imagine thinking
8:00
Speaker 1: that yesterday, and then you see trucks organized with supplies
8:05
Speaker 1: bought and paid for by some of these other organizations,
8:08
Speaker 1: handing them out, including bionic face shields to rioters. If
8:12
Speaker 1: you see that and you still say, oh, it's totally organic,
8:16
Speaker 1: you functionally mentally have a problem because most people saw that.
8:20
Speaker 1: Most people in the country saw that, and they said, oh,
8:23
Speaker 1: this is this is one paid riots. This is not
8:28
Speaker 1: organic at all, of course it is. So if you
8:30
Speaker 1: needed one last little shred of proof that this is
8:35
Speaker 1: all organized by people that want to divide and create
8:39
Speaker 1: anarchy and chaos, well there you go. Bionic face shields
8:44
Speaker 1: in boxes. Thank god that when he placed the box
8:47
Speaker 1: down on the ground. He didn't know a helicopter was overhead.
8:49
Speaker 1: The label said right on the side of it, exactly
8:51
Speaker 1: what he was as as he's handing out his own
8:54
Speaker 1: tear gas fireworks face masks. Yeah, but it's totally organic, right,
9:00
Speaker 1: which is why back to my original point in the introduction,
9:05
Speaker 1: this is backfiring so very very very very badly. First
9:10
Speaker 1: of all, you might have seen this story yesterday, and
9:11
Speaker 1: this is going to make you feel good about it,
9:13
Speaker 1: better about this whole thing, because it was scary. I
9:16
Speaker 1: think it was CNN, Fox, might have picked up on
9:18
Speaker 1: a local organizations, your X feed, whatever it was, maybe
9:21
Speaker 1: even on Facebook. Saw some maps with these scary red
9:24
Speaker 1: dots all over the country, and they were all over
9:26
Speaker 1: These were all the organized protests they'll call them riots
9:31
Speaker 1: that they will try to do throughout the summer in
9:34
Speaker 1: various cities, and I think it was every major metropolitan
9:36
Speaker 1: area in the country was covered on this map. You
9:38
Speaker 1: might have seen floating around. I wouldn't be so sure.
9:42
Speaker 1: They tried one in Tampa yesterday, Tampa, Florida, on the
9:47
Speaker 1: west coast, and they were blocking a street, major downtown street.
9:52
Speaker 1: Might have been Dale Mabry. I don't know what it was,
9:54
Speaker 1: and they tried, and they had their flags and they
9:56
Speaker 1: were trying to block traffic. The counter protest there shut
10:00
Speaker 1: that down. I'd put it less than ten minutes, as
10:03
Speaker 1: people did and shouting at him to go home, get
10:06
Speaker 1: out of the street, and then the cop showed up
10:08
Speaker 1: and they quelled it. That was supposed to be one
10:09
Speaker 1: of the major first protests on This ain't happening in
10:13
Speaker 1: a city like that. I'm sure it's gonna be big
10:16
Speaker 1: in cities like New York, in Chicago, La again, San Francisco.
10:20
Speaker 1: I'm sure Boston will have him as well. But I
10:23
Speaker 1: wouldn't be so sure. And this will make you feel
10:25
Speaker 1: better about that. I wouldn't worry about this stuff breaking
10:27
Speaker 1: out too much in the rest of the country because
10:31
Speaker 1: people aren't having it anymore. People are not putting up
10:35
Speaker 1: with this anymore. You want proof, now, this is a poll.
10:39
Speaker 1: I get it why we feel about Poles. It's like, oh,
10:42
Speaker 1: you can't trust them whatever. I know. I get and
10:43
Speaker 1: I hear that. But when CNN comes out with something
10:46
Speaker 1: that kind of defeats their counter argument and kind of
10:49
Speaker 1: goes against what they're talking heads were saying five minutes before,
10:51
Speaker 1: and they're kind of like forced into reporting their own pole.
10:55
Speaker 1: You tend to believe it has a little bit more credibility.
10:58
Speaker 1: CNN last night talking about President Trump's approval ratings as
11:02
Speaker 1: far as immigration goes, and it includes the deportations. That's
11:06
Speaker 1: all part of this question that they asked in their poll.
11:09
Speaker 1: It pains them to report this, but even they had
11:12
Speaker 1: to because it's their own survey. This is CNN last night.
11:16
Speaker 1: How's President Trump's approval ratings on deportation and immigration the
11:19
Speaker 1: whole issue combined.
11:20
Speaker 3: Going You know, if we just take a look at
11:22
Speaker 3: the baseline numbers here, this is Trump's net approval rating
11:26
Speaker 3: on immigration. It's gone up like a rocket compared now
11:29
Speaker 3: versus eight years ago. During Trump's first term, look at this,
11:31
Speaker 3: and his first term, Trump was way way way on
11:34
Speaker 3: the water at minus twenty one points.
11:36
Speaker 1: But look at this, He's up over twenty.
11:37
Speaker 3: Points now in the aggregate, he is in positive territory
11:41
Speaker 3: at plus one point on his net approval rating.
11:45
Speaker 1: This is backfiring. Whatever the organized insurrectionists, anarchists, whatever the
11:51
Speaker 1: hell these anti American Marxist organizations funding this, sting and
11:55
Speaker 1: organizing whatever they are trying to accomplish, this has failed.
12:00
Speaker 1: So incredibly badly to the point where and this is
12:04
Speaker 1: like when you know it's going really badly, to the
12:06
Speaker 1: point where there's probably going to be less coverage of
12:08
Speaker 1: it going forward unless a new one breaks out and
12:10
Speaker 1: God forbid, something really bad happens. This is as you
12:14
Speaker 1: just heard there. I'd believe CNN when they talk about
12:16
Speaker 1: good When CNN talks about good Trump news, you know
12:19
Speaker 1: it's true because it pains them to report it. Okay,
12:23
Speaker 1: his approval ratings on deportation, sending in the military. There
12:26
Speaker 1: are a bunch of other side topics all going up
12:28
Speaker 1: that's backfiring badly. Also on this. If you were trying
12:33
Speaker 1: to get this to raise attention to the immigration issue,
12:38
Speaker 1: these riots, and that's exactly what they are, organized, paid for,
12:42
Speaker 1: funded and violent. This is the best advertisement for deportation
12:47
Speaker 1: you could ever possibly have ever because now more people
12:51
Speaker 1: than ever in this country are in favor of it.
12:53
Speaker 1: You just heard it right there. For Trump's own approval ratings,
12:56
Speaker 1: if you were to get an honest answer, I mean
12:58
Speaker 1: truly from anybody, they if they trusted the polls, the
13:02
Speaker 1: media organizations, and they told you the truth about deportation
13:06
Speaker 1: around election time, it was in the sixties sixty percent support.
13:11
Speaker 1: That's among all people. Democrats too. What do you think
13:13
Speaker 1: it is now after seeing this? You just talked to
13:17
Speaker 1: regular people. I was talking about this yesterday. Just talk
13:19
Speaker 1: to regular people in your social circle or work without
13:22
Speaker 1: inflaming the situation. Just get their their whole feel about this.
13:24
Speaker 1: Just keep your ear to the ear of the grindstone
13:26
Speaker 1: and listen to what they say. People, most people in
13:29
Speaker 1: their heart or hearts are saying now, Oh yeah, no,
13:32
Speaker 1: they need to they need to deport the bad people.
13:36
Speaker 1: That's what they'll tell you if they're honest about it.
13:38
Speaker 1: But if they don't tell you, that's what they're thinking
13:40
Speaker 1: it inside. That's the way this is going. The worst backfiring,
13:45
Speaker 1: the worst public plan of all time, which is why.
13:49
Speaker 1: And on the update on this, with President Trump sending
13:51
Speaker 1: in now seven hundred and this will grow United States Marines.
13:56
Speaker 1: There is a lot of support for that. Whether or
13:58
Speaker 1: not you low News Agency or CNN or anybody even
14:03
Speaker 1: Fox is going to tell you the truth. There's a
14:04
Speaker 1: lot of support for Sandy Marines. And they do not
14:07
Speaker 1: mess around. Oh here's another update. I don't even get
14:10
Speaker 1: into his name because I don't really care. The takeaway
14:12
Speaker 1: to me is Pam BONDI was on Fox last night
14:15
Speaker 1: and she was talking about the arrest. They put out
14:17
Speaker 1: a big search warrant, so you know they were going
14:18
Speaker 1: to find him. Remember the guy I think it was
14:20
Speaker 1: on Sunday who was standing by an overpass in LA
14:23
Speaker 1: in a major freeway and he was breaking up chunks
14:26
Speaker 1: of concrete and he was throwing them at police cruisers.
14:29
Speaker 1: I think there were ice vehicles. He was the rene you,
14:31
Speaker 1: smashing windshields and one agent got his arm really mangled up.
14:36
Speaker 1: They put out a full scale alert for that guy,
14:39
Speaker 1: and they found him. Of course they're gonna find him.
14:42
Speaker 1: Here's the take I don't even care what his name
14:44
Speaker 1: is whatever. They arrested him. He's still in jail in LA.
14:48
Speaker 1: He's forty three. I don't know whether he's a resident
14:51
Speaker 1: or not. I have no idea. I don't know what
14:52
Speaker 1: his immigration status is. But he's forty three years old.
14:55
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being Can you imagine living on God's
14:58
Speaker 1: green earth forty three years And you think that's a
15:01
Speaker 1: good idea, and you think somehow they're not gonna find
15:04
Speaker 1: you On a camera, how did they get the clear shot?
15:08
Speaker 1: After a while, the helicopter cameras founded, but I think
15:11
Speaker 1: somebody actually had a cell phone camera on him and
15:13
Speaker 1: posted it. And you don't think they're going to find you,
15:15
Speaker 1: and you think that's a good idea to get your
15:18
Speaker 1: point across. What kind of an absolute destitute loser would
15:21
Speaker 1: you have to be to be forty three years old
15:23
Speaker 1: and throwing hunks of concrete down in cars, any cars,
15:26
Speaker 1: whether you agree with the ice agents or not. Oh yeah, gee,
15:29
Speaker 1: there's a shocker. They found him within twenty four hours. God,
15:33
Speaker 1: there's your other update on that. Well, we talked about
15:36
Speaker 1: the two screens at once, because most Americans see this
15:38
Speaker 1: because you can't hide it. It's too big of a story,
15:40
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh man, that's really bad. And then
15:43
Speaker 1: you'll turn to some talking head news anchor saying it's
15:45
Speaker 1: really not any different than a sports team's celebration. Okay, right,
15:52
Speaker 1: And then you've got the Bet Awards, which apparently happened
15:55
Speaker 1: last night. I believe the Bet. The Black Entertainment Television Awards,
15:59
Speaker 1: they've been going on for god, I think a couple
16:01
Speaker 1: of decades now, not highly publicized anymore. They don't get
16:05
Speaker 1: a lot of ratings. They just don't maybe here's a
16:08
Speaker 1: reason why. Now, this is after at least three and
16:11
Speaker 1: a half, maybe into the fourth day of writing in
16:13
Speaker 1: la that everybody has seen so far, or at least
16:15
Speaker 1: you've seen a clip of it, right, and yet one
16:18
Speaker 1: of the award winners uses her speech to advocate for
16:25
Speaker 1: the riots because she still thinks they're peaceful protests, or
16:29
Speaker 1: is at least lying on the surface about that. Can
16:32
Speaker 1: you imagine? And it makes sense why she got such
16:34
Speaker 1: a lukewarm response in the audience, let alone in the
16:37
Speaker 1: TV audience. So this is a winner. I'm sure I'm
16:40
Speaker 1: massacring her name. I have no idea. I've never heard
16:42
Speaker 1: of her before, but she won some kind of bet
16:44
Speaker 1: award Dewichi, dewisch, doe c chi, I I don't know
16:51
Speaker 1: you got me. I honestly have no idea. I didn't
16:53
Speaker 1: really want to spend the time to look it up.
16:55
Speaker 1: I have no idea. But here she is accepting her
16:57
Speaker 1: beet award last night. Though again the background is by
17:01
Speaker 1: this time three and a half, four days into writing,
17:03
Speaker 1: the whole country has seen what's going on. Everybody sees
17:06
Speaker 1: it with your own eyeballs, right, everybody sees what's happening
17:10
Speaker 1: here's her takeaway, and she used this as an opportunity
17:14
Speaker 1: to denounce putting down the pro still calling the peaceful
17:17
Speaker 1: protests are.
17:18
Speaker 4: Ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities.
17:24
Speaker 1: In the name of law and order, Trump.
17:27
Speaker 4: Is using military forces to stop a protest. And I
17:32
Speaker 4: want you all to consider what kind of government it
17:35
Speaker 4: appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic
17:39
Speaker 4: rights of protest, the military is deployed against us and.
17:44
Speaker 1: The crowd goes wild. Gotta lukewarm response. It got louder
17:47
Speaker 1: at the end, which was finally walking off the stage.
17:49
Speaker 1: But how there's two possibilities. She was told as an
17:55
Speaker 1: I think a new artist again. I claim my ignorance
17:58
Speaker 1: here dewe Chi. I think that's her name. I don't
18:00
Speaker 1: know anything about her. I don't know how big she
18:02
Speaker 1: I had no idea, which is good because I got
18:05
Speaker 1: to be objective about this. She's either put up to
18:09
Speaker 1: saying that by the producers of the show, which didn't
18:11
Speaker 1: yank her off stage or play her off with the
18:13
Speaker 1: music or whatever, or she really thinks this herself, like
18:16
Speaker 1: she really believes this, and a lot of celebrities have
18:18
Speaker 1: been like this. She really thinks that stopping a riot
18:25
Speaker 1: an anarchy in a major American city in the downtown
18:28
Speaker 1: area is too militaristic and too much and using too
18:32
Speaker 1: much force. Again to the theme, this is why this
18:36
Speaker 1: is backfiring so so badly. And you hear somebody like that,
18:41
Speaker 1: and then the after effect of it. So you had
18:43
Speaker 1: maybe a whole day, or you were on your phone
18:45
Speaker 1: at the same time, and you happen to be watching
18:46
Speaker 1: the BET Awards. So imagine this situation if you're into
18:50
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. You're on the you're on the couch,
18:52
Speaker 1: on the phone, and even on TikTok or something or Facebook,
18:56
Speaker 1: you's seeing video after video of of of riots in
18:59
Speaker 1: la And then at the same time you've got a
19:01
Speaker 1: BET Award winner on stage saying that two different things
19:06
Speaker 1: they don't jive, they don't add up. That's why people
19:09
Speaker 1: believe their own eyes over the words of somebody like that,
19:13
Speaker 1: because that's just that's insane.
19:15
Speaker 2: Man.
19:15
Speaker 1: I don't know which explains the lukewarm respons she got
19:18
Speaker 1: speaking of crazy. And I'll throw this out there too,
19:21
Speaker 1: and you let me know what you think about this possibility.
19:24
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. I just want to
19:25
Speaker 1: know what you think about the possibility. Whatever platform we're
19:27
Speaker 1: watching on or listening right now, throw this in there
19:30
Speaker 1: in the comments, whether you would be we'll make it simple,
19:33
Speaker 1: yes or no. Okay, And here's the question, would you
19:37
Speaker 1: support deport it's not gonna happen. Would you support deporting
19:44
Speaker 1: an elected lawmaker? Because it's actually happening. And I'm sure
19:48
Speaker 1: she's not the only one, but she was. Maybe she
19:50
Speaker 1: thinks this is a brave thing. Maybe she didn't get
19:52
Speaker 1: the message that this is backfiring badly for all these
19:54
Speaker 1: politicians in favor of an open border. I didn't even
19:58
Speaker 1: catch your name. It doesn't really matter. But she's a
20:01
Speaker 1: state representative in Minnesota. She was on her house floor,
20:06
Speaker 1: the Minnesota House floor in Minneapolis yesterday, and she made
20:09
Speaker 1: the omission that she's an illegal immigrant because her parents
20:12
Speaker 1: were here illegally and she used a different name blah
20:14
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah whatever. Here she is making the admission.
20:17
Speaker 1: And then think about the question theoretically as a statement,
20:22
Speaker 1: right as to make an example of somebody, would you
20:27
Speaker 1: support a US elected official in any capacity, state, local, federal, whatever,
20:35
Speaker 1: being deported if they're an illegal immigrant because they're not
20:38
Speaker 1: supposed to be elected. Well here she was.
20:40
Speaker 4: I'm mother down as his mother, and so I am
20:44
Speaker 4: illegal in this country.
20:46
Speaker 1: My parents are illegal here in this country. I didn't
20:52
Speaker 1: catch your name. I don't know. It's not really that
20:53
Speaker 1: relevant to the story because she's not the only one.
20:55
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are plenty, plenty of local elected representatives,
21:00
Speaker 1: even at the state level, like her in Minnesota, who
21:03
Speaker 1: are here illegally. It shouldn't be off. Again, it's not
21:07
Speaker 1: gonna go this far. I would be shocked if it
21:09
Speaker 1: ever went this far. But again, and throw it into
21:11
Speaker 1: the comment section, whatever platform you're on it. We'll check
21:13
Speaker 1: in in these in a couple of minutes. I'll see
21:15
Speaker 1: what people say. Theoretically, would you support an elected official
21:19
Speaker 1: being deported to make an example of him or her?
21:22
Speaker 1: I think I know what the answer is, but we'll
21:24
Speaker 1: check in a minute. But there you go. All right,
21:26
Speaker 1: let's get out of all the riots and immigration and
21:28
Speaker 1: deportation stuff for a quick second. Talk about this. My daughter.
21:36
Speaker 1: I have now two kids in their twenties. One just
21:40
Speaker 1: turned twenty one over the weekend. My baby girl. I
21:43
Speaker 1: was so proud of her, and I was joking around
21:45
Speaker 1: and you know, we went out to a nice restaurant
21:48
Speaker 1: Sunday night for her birthday and she's twenty one now,
21:51
Speaker 1: so and she ordered a drink and she was all
21:52
Speaker 1: excited about that. And then I'm joking around saying, it's
21:54
Speaker 1: your first legal drink. It's your first alcoholic drink ever,
21:58
Speaker 1: right right. I know better as a dad than to
22:01
Speaker 1: believe that. But she brings this up in the conversation.
22:05
Speaker 1: I was fascinated by this. She said, yeah, you know,
22:07
Speaker 1: I honestly, maybe you believe me, maybe you don't. But
22:10
Speaker 1: kids my age and she's talking about gen Z, she's
22:12
Speaker 1: twenty one, she's in college, just really don't drink a lot.
22:16
Speaker 1: I went, huh, well that's different. My first thought went
22:20
Speaker 1: to where she goes to school. Right, A lot of
22:23
Speaker 1: them are are theatrical kids and athletes and their you know, dancers,
22:28
Speaker 1: and they have to do you know, take care of
22:30
Speaker 1: their body. And then maybe that's when they're so busy too.
22:32
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why. And maybe the party at her place
22:35
Speaker 1: and her her whole scene is a little bit down.
22:38
Speaker 1: I asked her that, and she said, no, it's just
22:40
Speaker 1: it's just not that popular with my age group, you know,
22:45
Speaker 1: I'm always up for digging into a big sociological story
22:48
Speaker 1: because I love that kind of I love social trends
22:50
Speaker 1: and where they go. It's like, if there's anything I'm
22:52
Speaker 1: good at, that's looking at social trends and seeing where
22:55
Speaker 1: things are going in the future. So I said, huh.
22:58
Speaker 1: Next day, I was still thinking about what she said,
23:00
Speaker 1: and I was glad to hear that, obviously, you know,
23:02
Speaker 1: because I trust her and I trust her opinion on this.
23:05
Speaker 1: And I looked it up and lo and behold, it
23:08
Speaker 1: was a trending story. And maybe that's why she brought
23:10
Speaker 1: it up to is a trending story that particular day
23:12
Speaker 1: in the early part of the work week, gen Z
23:15
Speaker 1: and alcohol use. As it turns out, she's right, at
23:21
Speaker 1: least according to the statistics. And this is the Bureau
23:23
Speaker 1: of Labor Statistics. But there's been a bunch of different
23:28
Speaker 1: stories about this, and a bunch of different stories over
23:30
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and it's all trending in
23:32
Speaker 1: the right direction. It appears to be the case a
23:35
Speaker 1: fading bond now for boomers. This is annual expenditure of
23:41
Speaker 1: alcohol beverages for boomers right by generation twenty five. That's
23:50
Speaker 1: the most is what it is, okay, and then it
23:55
Speaker 1: goes to gen X. That's me, and that's still just
23:58
Speaker 1: a tick under that, and it's something it's something like
24:00
Speaker 1: in the tens of millions. Like for gen X it's
24:02
Speaker 1: like twenty three million millennials slightly older than gen X.
24:07
Speaker 1: It's just about on par with gen X. It falls
24:10
Speaker 1: down to about maybe a twentieth of that for gen Z.
24:19
Speaker 1: And they've got enough kids into gen Z now, which
24:21
Speaker 1: is my daughter's age right around the twenty early twenties.
24:24
Speaker 1: About their alcohol consumption, it turns out it's true they
24:27
Speaker 1: don't drink. I don't know why this is. Maybe it's
24:29
Speaker 1: the business person to meet. My first thought went to bars,
24:32
Speaker 1: restaurants and breweries and all that other stuff. And now
24:35
Speaker 1: that's gonna be hurting, which is tough. They're gonna have
24:38
Speaker 1: to adjust somewhere, and I don't know what's gonna make
24:39
Speaker 1: up for the difference. But then I thought about it,
24:41
Speaker 1: and you always ask the question, this is what I'm
24:43
Speaker 1: always talking about. What's good? What's great about this? If
24:46
Speaker 1: you're a parent's much less of a chance then if
24:49
Speaker 1: you've got a college age kid that they're going to
24:50
Speaker 1: be that much into alcohol. Of course it still happens,
24:53
Speaker 1: of course it does. Of Course there's still going to
24:55
Speaker 1: be frat parties. Of course there are and sorority parties
24:57
Speaker 1: and just keggers. Whatever. Fine, that's what what it is.
25:01
Speaker 1: Here's a really good takeaway on this though. This is
25:04
Speaker 1: how it's great for families with less and less people
25:08
Speaker 1: in gen Z kids in their early twenties. Just think
25:10
Speaker 1: of early twenties drinking. It's a lot easier on parents,
25:14
Speaker 1: number one, to talk to them about not getting into alcohol.
25:18
Speaker 1: It's much easier fight for us because they're hearing it
25:20
Speaker 1: a lot these days. And it's great news for those
25:23
Speaker 1: kids who don't want to drink. Think about yourself or
25:26
Speaker 1: college kids, anybody ever knew at that age, Go back
25:28
Speaker 1: a little bit and think about it. A lot of
25:32
Speaker 1: them didn't want to, but got pressured into drinking and
25:34
Speaker 1: it became part of the lifestyle. It's a lot. This
25:37
Speaker 1: is a good trend. Bad for business. It's bad for
25:40
Speaker 1: the alcohol producers. I get that, so they're gonna have
25:42
Speaker 1: to make that up somewhere else. But it's good for
25:44
Speaker 1: everybody else that never really wanted to drink in the
25:47
Speaker 1: first place. It's an amazing societal trend. They just and
25:50
Speaker 1: I don't think it's changing anyway because your habits are
25:52
Speaker 1: formed at this age. I don't think that's changing anytime soon.
25:56
Speaker 1: Take Away. I think it's a good thing, all right.
25:59
Speaker 1: I asked for you comments. Different platforms coming in. I
26:01
Speaker 1: can't tell I have stream yard. I can't tell what platform,
26:04
Speaker 1: whether it's Facebook or YouTube or acts or whatever these
26:06
Speaker 1: are coming in for. But I asked the question from
26:08
Speaker 1: that Minnesota State Rep. Yesterday. This is funny, simple yes
26:12
Speaker 1: or no, I won't do dames. Would you be in
26:14
Speaker 1: favor of deporting to make an example of an elected
26:18
Speaker 1: effic an elected official, deporting them if they're here illegally,
26:22
Speaker 1: just to make an example of them? Yes, yes, hell,
26:25
Speaker 1: yes to hell yes is yes, yes, no, okay, yes, yes, okay.
26:31
Speaker 1: I asked it a couple of minutes ago, and everybody,
26:33
Speaker 1: I get how you feel. Now, keep in mind, I
26:35
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna happen, but it's amazing. It's amazing development.
26:39
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for finding me. I appreciate it. I'm
26:41
Speaker 1: out of material. I gotta get out of here. So
26:42
Speaker 1: do you make it a wick it awesome Tuesday? The takeaway,
26:45
Speaker 1: don't fall for anybody telling you that these riots in
26:48
Speaker 1: la are having an effect. The only effect they're having
26:50
Speaker 1: is a huge, huge backfire. It's not going well at all.
26:55
Speaker 1: And the second takeaway in the gen Z drinking story,
26:58
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Take that as a good thing
27:00
Speaker 1: because there's much less pressure pressure to get you know,
27:03
Speaker 1: involved in drinking in the first place. So it's good
27:05
Speaker 1: for parents and kids. We'll take it. We'll take that
27:07
Speaker 1: any day of the week. Thanks for finding me. As always,
27:09
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. If you're watching on the live stream
27:11
Speaker 1: later on on any of these platforms, make sure you
27:14

27:27

27:29
Speaker 1: awesome Tuesday. We'll pick it up again tomorrow. They'll take
27:32
