Wicked Radio 7-21: Treason Charges?, WNBA Players Learning Value, & Are The Redskins Back · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:03
Speaker 1: You know, it's only Monday. We already already have some
0:06
Speaker 1: of the biggest, I don't know, what do you call them,
0:08
Speaker 1: juiciest stories to talk about that we can take something from. Yeah,
0:11
Speaker 1: I ripped out of the headlines, But what's it mean
0:13
Speaker 1: to you and me and normal folks. Well, there's a
0:15
Speaker 1: couple of sports stories to talk about. The WNBA players,
0:20
Speaker 1: they're learning what value in a workplace is all about.
0:22
Speaker 1: Maybe they've never learned this lesson before, but they're learning
0:25
Speaker 1: it now because the backlash has been crazy. There's another
0:28
Speaker 1: sports story for you. And so often sports kind of
0:31
Speaker 1: reflects what's going on in society. Are the Washington Redskins
0:35
Speaker 1: back because it presided Trump's truth socials over the weekend? Maybe?
0:40
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, wait a minute, let's see what else
0:42
Speaker 1: happened in the news over the weekend. Oh yeah, just
0:44
Speaker 1: one small little detail. We might actually have justified treason
0:51
Speaker 1: charges for former White House officials coming down the pike,
0:55
Speaker 1: which I also didn't believe. And I know the mindset
0:57
Speaker 1: might be, oh, come on, they can letters matter, doesn't
1:01
Speaker 1: matter what Telsea Gabbard came out with, and nothing ever
1:03
Speaker 1: happens with these things. And I was thinking the exact
1:06
Speaker 1: same thing before yesterday afternoon when I saw Telsea Gabbard's
1:10
Speaker 1: interview with Maria Bartiromo, because to me, that changed everything.
1:16
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable, because I mean, honestly, there have been
1:19
Speaker 1: just in my little bar top here, what are some
1:21
Speaker 1: of the stories that have come across just doing the
1:24
Speaker 1: live stream potential war? Right, we've had presidential elections, We've
1:29
Speaker 1: had you know, we talked about Trump last summer surviving
1:33
Speaker 1: an assassination attempt for a US president? Can you think
1:36
Speaker 1: of anything more serious than a coup? And all it
1:42
Speaker 1: sounds even strange talking about these things, an actual coup
1:45
Speaker 1: that took place and now they have the goods on them.
1:49
Speaker 1: So there's the question would trees and charges be justified?
1:52
Speaker 1: I think when you hear her it may change your mind.
1:54
Speaker 1: But let's start it off with something like thanks for
1:55
Speaker 1: finding the Wicked Radio livestream appreciates you and all the
1:59
Speaker 1: other so media platforms you'll find Wicked Wisdom with Bill
2:02
Speaker 1: Adams with all that good stuff audio podcast too, which
2:05
Speaker 1: you may be listening on already. Thank you so much
2:07
Speaker 1: for the downloads. Make sure you press download on that
2:09
Speaker 1: so you know when the future episodes are coming. But
2:12
Speaker 1: let's get to this. Let's start it up with something light,
2:14
Speaker 1: but I think no less important. And I talked about
2:17
Speaker 1: this did a little specially yesterday some weekend wisdom. If
2:20
Speaker 1: you didn't hear this, I'll repeat it again because I've
2:22
Speaker 1: got even more thoughts. As you can imagine, all this
2:25
Speaker 1: about THENBA players on Saturday night coming out into the court,
2:29
Speaker 1: unified effort. All good for them because they want more money.
2:34
Speaker 1: And they are all wearing T shirts. And let me
2:38
Speaker 1: look at the picture to make sure I have this right,
2:40
Speaker 1: because I don't want to, you know, God forbid you
2:42
Speaker 1: misquote or you know, slander somehow. WNBA players, pay us
2:48
Speaker 1: what you owe us, was the statement from the WNBA. Well,
2:54
Speaker 1: everybody should be paid what they're owed, right. I totally
2:57
Speaker 1: understand that. But here's the here's a lesson that they're
3:01
Speaker 1: learning in a harsh kind of way right about now,
3:03
Speaker 1: which if you're an employer of some organization, or if
3:08
Speaker 1: you're you yourself, and I know we've got a lot
3:10
Speaker 1: of business owners in the audience, if you are responsible
3:13
Speaker 1: for a paycheck, you've already learned this lesson long long
3:17
Speaker 1: time ago. Because here's the thing. Here's why they're barking
3:20
Speaker 1: up the wrong tree, and that's a tall ask for
3:21
Speaker 1: these players. Verified check out any source you want. You
3:26
Speaker 1: can go to chat ept, a plain old Google search,
3:29
Speaker 1: you can look up the public documents. You can go
3:31
Speaker 1: to groc whatever it is. And you ask whether the
3:33
Speaker 1: WNBA and it's I think thirty year history. Now, yeah,
3:37
Speaker 1: I think it's actually that old, whether it's ever turned
3:39
Speaker 1: to profit And the answer is no. The league, that
3:43
Speaker 1: league has never never made money ever, but now probably
3:50
Speaker 1: based on the attention to getting because of Caitlin Clark.
3:52
Speaker 1: You know, a player that they've done nothing to protect,
3:55
Speaker 1: but they're the only reason why people are watching that
3:57
Speaker 1: league now is because of her. Now they're asking for
3:59
Speaker 1: me more money. This isn't going to go well for
4:03
Speaker 1: them at all. And most people who work for an
4:06
Speaker 1: organization are saying, boy, I couldn't do that. Man, if
4:10
Speaker 1: my company that I worked for wasn't making any money,
4:12
Speaker 1: wasn't turning a profit, I'd never dare ask for a raise. Now,
4:15
Speaker 1: somebody would say that is somebody that's been in the
4:17
Speaker 1: workforce for quite some time, right, And I'll never forget
4:19
Speaker 1: the first time I ever learned that this was, Oh
4:23
Speaker 1: my god, I think maybe even like a part time
4:25
Speaker 1: or at the time, like the first radio job, you know,
4:27
Speaker 1: And I was asking for something I don't know, pathetic,
4:31
Speaker 1: like a two thousand dollars or five thousand dollars raise
4:34
Speaker 1: or something, and my GM at the time, the boss
4:37
Speaker 1: of the radio station said to me directly, very correctly,
4:42
Speaker 1: by the way, and I'm so glad he did. Actually,
4:44
Speaker 1: he said, are you making me more than two thousand
4:48
Speaker 1: dollars a profit to cover for what you're asking for?
4:51
Speaker 2: Like?
4:52
Speaker 1: Are you or for it was five thousand whateverything amount
4:54
Speaker 1: is Are you making me the money to be able
4:57
Speaker 1: to pay you to justify it?
4:58
Speaker 3: You know?
4:58
Speaker 1: And of course my answer was no, not understanding that.
5:02
Speaker 1: But what he was saying was, before you even go
5:05
Speaker 1: in to ask for any kind of a raise, whether
5:07
Speaker 1: you're like an electrician or a plumber, or an accountant
5:11
Speaker 1: or a WNBA player, whatever it is, you have to
5:13
Speaker 1: know what your value is to that organization. And your
5:16
Speaker 1: value isn't you're a nice person?
5:18
Speaker 2: No?
5:19
Speaker 1: Or I plan in the future to make the company
5:22
Speaker 1: a lot more money. No, that doesn't work either. What
5:25
Speaker 1: do you make this company right now to justify asking
5:29
Speaker 1: for more money? And this is a concept with these
5:31
Speaker 1: WNBA players that is totally lost, probably not even their fault.
5:35
Speaker 1: These are star athletes that have always been awesome. They've
5:38
Speaker 1: been passed along probably through school. They've been treated like
5:40
Speaker 1: queens because they always they had a talent to be
5:43
Speaker 1: able to dribble a basketball and shoot sometimes. So they're
5:47
Speaker 1: learning this for the very first time, something that most
5:49
Speaker 1: of us have already learned. And it's key as well.
5:52
Speaker 1: It's a great thing to teach kids as well. Before
5:54
Speaker 1: you ask for that pay raise, you have to know
5:56
Speaker 1: your value, not your worth as a person, but you're
6:00
Speaker 1: value to that organization before you ask for the money.
6:03
Speaker 1: We've all learned it at some point, if we're all adults,
6:06
Speaker 1: and if you haven't learned that, it comes at you hard.
6:08
Speaker 1: So I don't know how this is going to go
6:09
Speaker 1: for the WNBA, but we'll see. But it's the great
6:14
Speaker 1: thing is it started this whole discussion about asking for
6:17
Speaker 1: pay raises. I see this chatter online all the time too,
6:19
Speaker 1: And like I said, if you've got young kids, like
6:21
Speaker 1: in their twenties just entering the workforce, it's a great
6:23
Speaker 1: example to bring up to them. It really is. Here's
6:25
Speaker 1: the other thing too, about knowing your value in an organization,
6:29
Speaker 1: because it forced if you've ever gone through that, if
6:31
Speaker 1: you've ever been like kicked in the shins, like I'm
6:33
Speaker 1: sure we all have, when you ask for that raise
6:35
Speaker 1: and get turned down. It forces you to look back
6:37
Speaker 1: and to really understand. You say, well, you know, well,
6:40
Speaker 1: this is what I do, and this translates to more money.
6:42
Speaker 1: More often than not, it forces you to actually understand
6:46
Speaker 1: your own value, and more often than not, you say,
6:48
Speaker 1: I do make a lot of money for this company.
6:51
Speaker 1: So it's a great process to go through. So I
6:54
Speaker 1: don't know if they're I don't know if the WNBA
6:56
Speaker 1: players are going to learn that, but they can if
6:59
Speaker 1: they want to. All Right, we gotta get to get
7:02
Speaker 1: the story of I said this to a friend of
7:05
Speaker 1: mine last night. This might be the story of our lifetime.
7:09
Speaker 1: I've said that, Like the problem is, I've said that
7:11
Speaker 1: like three or four times over the past year and
7:12
Speaker 1: a half. But this might be actually the story of
7:15
Speaker 1: her lifetime if something comes from it. Okay, now we've
7:21
Speaker 1: got Telsea Gabbrn, Director of National Intelligence, who everybody says, member,
7:25
Speaker 1: just a week ago, remember this, everybody was saying, well,
7:28
Speaker 1: she's not doing anything. She's not producing anything. She's useless.
7:32
Speaker 1: What do these people do? Yeah, okay, I think she
7:34
Speaker 1: was working pretty hard behind the scenes after this revelation.
7:36
Speaker 1: So Friday this comes out. Now, of course we all
7:41
Speaker 1: look forward to see if this got any national attention
7:43
Speaker 1: from the mainstream media. No, no one's talking about it.
7:45
Speaker 1: Maybe a brief mention on ABC, but the weekend talking
7:49
Speaker 1: head talk shows like Meet the Depressed. No, they're not
7:52
Speaker 1: all talking about No. No, they're not talking about it
7:54
Speaker 1: because they're part and parcel of what happened here. Now
7:58
Speaker 1: to explain it better than I ever could, in a
8:01
Speaker 1: very succinct kind of way, the great Maria Bartiromo on
8:05
Speaker 1: Fox News Business, Uh, set up the interview with Tulsea
8:09
Speaker 1: Gabbard in a great way. This is why she's so good.
8:12
Speaker 1: I was telling you this a couple of weeks ago.
8:13
Speaker 1: She gets the best interviews from these people because she
8:16
Speaker 1: asks great questions. Here's the setup of exactly what we're
8:19
Speaker 1: talking about from Maria DNA Telsey.
8:21
Speaker 3: Gabbard is now calling for prosecutions revealing declassified documents from
8:26
Speaker 3: the Russia collusion made up investigation, which she says detail
8:31
Speaker 3: a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest level of
8:35
Speaker 3: the Obama White House to stop incoming President Donald Trump.
8:40
Speaker 1: So, in casual conversation, what are we talking about what
8:44
Speaker 1: we all know now as the Russia Russia Russia hoax
8:49
Speaker 1: one and two that Trump was, you know, brought up
8:54
Speaker 1: on charges for he was impeached for. This went on
8:59
Speaker 1: and on and on for years and dog you probably
9:02
Speaker 1: dogged this in casual conversation, maybe even didn't even vote
9:05
Speaker 1: for Trump, but you heard it. You heard it at
9:06
Speaker 1: a barbecue or picnic, work, a boardroom conversation, a zoom
9:11
Speaker 1: call back in the day, because we lived through that too.
9:14
Speaker 1: Well Trump, Well, Trump's Russia. He's a putent puppet, right,
9:17
Speaker 1: they fixed the elections And maybe you're a you know,
9:20
Speaker 1: sound minding he said, well, how did they fix how
9:23
Speaker 1: did they influence the election? Like what with memes on Facebook? Well,
9:26
Speaker 1: I don't know, but the news told me that Russia
9:30
Speaker 1: got Trump elected and he had a years years and
9:35
Speaker 1: years and years of this. But now because of what
9:38
Speaker 1: Telsey Gabbert has discovered, we have kicked this up into
9:41
Speaker 1: a whole new notch. Because it was pretty much on.
9:44
Speaker 1: It was pretty much understood, there was no evidence there
9:49
Speaker 1: whatsoever that Trump colluded with Russia. There just wasn't. And
9:52
Speaker 1: that's just being objective. And that's not a right left thing,
9:54
Speaker 1: that's not a Democrat Republican thing. That's just facts. That's
9:57
Speaker 1: what that is. But wait a minute, something a little
10:00
Speaker 1: bit deeper here, Hold on where did all this come from?
10:05
Speaker 1: Is now the question who directed it? May have had
10:08
Speaker 1: your suspicions, sure, absolutely well, she uh pretty much laid
10:13
Speaker 1: it out in this interview yesterday and from the documents
10:15
Speaker 1: on front.
10:16
Speaker 2: But there's no question in my mind that this intelligence
10:19
Speaker 2: community assessment that President Obama ordered be published, which contained
10:25
Speaker 2: a manufactured intelligence document, It's worse than even politicization of intelligence.
10:30
Speaker 2: It was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama
10:35
Speaker 2: and his team's objective, which was undermining President Trump's presidency.
10:39
Speaker 1: And hmm okay, and that lays it auto again very
10:43
Speaker 1: simply said. And there it is. And they've got the
10:46
Speaker 1: smoking gun in the form of documents, which is how
10:48
Speaker 1: the swamp works to show where this all came. So
10:52
Speaker 1: a manufactured document that they ordered that he according to
10:55
Speaker 1: Telsey Gabbart, that Obama ordered get the intelligence officials on
10:58
Speaker 1: something that shows that Trump won this election with the
11:01
Speaker 1: help of Russia, get it out there and base all
11:04
Speaker 1: of this speculation and all of this action going forward
11:07
Speaker 1: on it. And remember the time this happened while Trump
11:10
Speaker 1: was already duly elected by the American people in twenty sixteen,
11:13
Speaker 1: So this is early twenty seventeen, before Obama was supposed
11:18
Speaker 1: to leave office, and then ell hell broke loose because
11:21
Speaker 1: of the Russia Russia Russia collusion hoaxes, right, and then
11:26
Speaker 1: the impeachments, and then on all the talk and then
11:29
Speaker 1: all that consternation and CNN running with it and running
11:32
Speaker 1: with it every single day. Well, now here we are,
11:35
Speaker 1: and you may be like I in the mindset normally
11:39
Speaker 1: it's amazing how Americans were like forgiving, but we also
11:42
Speaker 1: you don't want revenge, right, And I was of the
11:46
Speaker 1: exact same mindset you may be right now heading into Sunday,
11:51
Speaker 1: cause I had looked into the documents, I read the story,
11:53
Speaker 1: and I said, wow, that's okay, Well that looks pretty irrefutable
11:55
Speaker 1: to me. But do you want to live in a
11:57
Speaker 1: country where it's political revenge vengee kind of stuff? You
12:01
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Where Trump would go after Obama
12:03
Speaker 1: personally or all of these underlings in that administration, all
12:07
Speaker 1: the people that were in the intelligence community. Do we
12:10
Speaker 1: want them in handcuffs to do in a purp walk?
12:14
Speaker 1: And then you hear the details and this is what
12:16
Speaker 1: changed my mind on it as well. Then you hear
12:18
Speaker 1: the details and Telsea Gabbertt going on in that same
12:21
Speaker 1: interview to explain, to win back the trust of the
12:25
Speaker 1: American people, you can't ever ever have this kind of
12:29
Speaker 1: thing happening, no matter who it is. And I will
12:32
Speaker 1: sit here today and I will assure you me this
12:35
Speaker 1: is just me talking. I wouldn't. I would want the
12:40
Speaker 1: same thing to happen to no matter who is in
12:42
Speaker 1: that White House. If you ordered a phony intelligence document
12:46
Speaker 1: to go after your political rivals, I don't care if
12:47
Speaker 1: you're a Republican independent Democrat, you have to pay some
12:51
Speaker 1: kind of a price. So if you're talking about the
12:54
Speaker 1: actual T word, not Trump treason, treason word, and treeson
13:00
Speaker 1: in charges, which sounds like Chelsea Gabbert is very set on.
13:04
Speaker 1: In fact, the question later on in the interview was
13:07
Speaker 1: by Maria Bartaroma, and she's great because she asks direct
13:09
Speaker 1: questions with no fluff in between. Do you foresee charges
13:14
Speaker 1: coming treason charges coming to anybody in that administration responsible
13:20
Speaker 1: for this. Telsea Gabbert said, that's not in my purview,
13:24
Speaker 1: you know, But we are bringing more information to that end.
13:28
Speaker 1: So that's up to the Attorney General, that's up to
13:30
Speaker 1: the FBI and CIA to do that. But I'm just
13:32
Speaker 1: providing the information. But she sounded dead set and serious
13:35
Speaker 1: and understanding that there somebody has to pay a price
13:38
Speaker 1: for this. And in my mind after hearing her say that,
13:42
Speaker 1: even beyond the document release on Friday, absolutely some but
13:47
Speaker 1: you cannot have this.
13:50
Speaker 2: I know.
13:52
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is going to lead to.
13:54
Speaker 1: None of us knows, right because we've never really been
13:57
Speaker 1: in this situation. We just haven't of all the creasy
14:00
Speaker 1: crap that's happened over the few years that we've all
14:02
Speaker 1: seen and I'll become aware of. And that's part of
14:04
Speaker 1: this is the information is out there for everybody now,
14:07
Speaker 1: but none of us have actually lived in a world
14:09
Speaker 1: like this in our country where it's like, wow, a
14:12
Speaker 1: presidential administration that was in office just a couple of
14:14
Speaker 1: years ago, some of them may be going to jail
14:19
Speaker 1: or if you're talking about national trees and charges worse,
14:24
Speaker 1: maybe is it gonna happen. Who the hell knows, but
14:29
Speaker 1: we've never come so close as to this happening before.
14:32
Speaker 1: In my mind was changed by listening to her when
14:36
Speaker 1: she said, you can't ever have this kind of thing
14:42
Speaker 1: happening from any administration ever, and to win back the
14:45
Speaker 1: trust of the American people, because there is no trust
14:47
Speaker 1: right now in the intelligence community and the swamp and
14:50
Speaker 1: the deep state. We were told that doesn't exist without this.
14:54
Speaker 1: So treason charges coming, I don't know, justified. Somebody's got
14:59
Speaker 1: to pay a price, because I think, in my opinion,
15:01
Speaker 1: the worst thing that would happen is if you let
15:04
Speaker 1: this go without anybody going to jail. It's a thousand
15:09
Speaker 1: times worse than what we're living through right now. With that,
15:11
Speaker 1: with zero, they will be underwater. Joy there will be
15:14
Speaker 1: less than zero trust in the intelligence community or the
15:16
Speaker 1: Department of Justice. These are wild times, but there's the speculation, Oh,
15:21
Speaker 1: we wouldn't really. Still most of us are still saying
15:24
Speaker 1: there's nothing going to happen from this, Nothing's going to
15:26
Speaker 1: go on. Who the heck knows, but hold on. Because
15:32
Speaker 1: President Trump himself was going crazy on truth social busy
15:37
Speaker 1: man posting a lot of stuff, you know, One of
15:40
Speaker 1: the things he posted was memes memes of President Obama
15:47
Speaker 1: in handcuffs going to jail members of that intelligence community
15:53
Speaker 1: back then in the administration paying a price. And one
15:57
Speaker 1: other thing too, which I thought was fascinating. President Trump
16:00
Speaker 1: posted he didn't make this, but reposted it somebody from
16:03
Speaker 1: somebody else, like a montage and a loop of all
16:08
Speaker 1: of those same people now who allegedly were responsible for
16:12
Speaker 1: this coup, as Telsea Gaffard calls it, all saying the
16:16
Speaker 1: same thing. Remember what we all learned about propaganda. When
16:19
Speaker 1: they all say the same thing in the exact same way,
16:23
Speaker 1: that's propaganda. Well what did they say during the time,
16:28
Speaker 1: Remember we always heard this phrase, no one's above the law.
16:31
Speaker 1: Well Trump posted this one, especially the president is above
16:37
Speaker 1: the law.
16:40
Speaker 2: No one is about the law.
16:42
Speaker 1: No one is above the law. No one is above
16:44
Speaker 1: the law.
16:45
Speaker 2: Low body is above the law.
16:48
Speaker 1: No one the law. You might have even seen that.
16:52
Speaker 1: Don't know if you've seen the President of the United
16:55
Speaker 1: States of America post that, that may change your mind
17:00
Speaker 1: whether or not charges comment for somebody. I don't know who,
17:02
Speaker 1: I don't know when, but they are here's the one
17:05
Speaker 1: thing we should know. They are dead serious and making
17:08
Speaker 1: sure somebody pays a price on this. I mean, would
17:11
Speaker 1: would part of that be personal? Would part of that
17:14
Speaker 1: be personal revenge from Trump? Yeah, of course it would.
17:17
Speaker 1: It is justified. I don't care what your position is.
17:21
Speaker 1: If if somebody had tried to throw me in jail,
17:25
Speaker 1: kill me, and raided my house, all related back to this,
17:30
Speaker 1: all of it, would you want revenge? It would be
17:35
Speaker 1: tough for me to be honest with you and tell
17:37
Speaker 1: you I wouldn't want revenge, because I would to be
17:39
Speaker 1: honest with you. But there's a bigger issue here for
17:41
Speaker 1: the country. Would you want revenge, Well, let's not call
17:44
Speaker 1: it revenge. Would you want somebody to pay a price
17:47
Speaker 1: for this to make sure it doesn't happen again? Think
17:50
Speaker 1: of it in those terms. Yeah, I think I think
17:54
Speaker 1: any reasonable person would. I think so. So here's the
17:57
Speaker 1: thing to watch it. Here's the takeaway to watch out
17:58
Speaker 1: for the media this week. It's only one. Like I said,
18:00
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear this all week long. No, you're gonna
18:03
Speaker 1: hear this until this thing is settled, until somebody actually
18:06
Speaker 1: is facing charges for this. You're gonna hear the same
18:10
Speaker 1: propaganda instead of nobody's above the law. You're gonna hear
18:14
Speaker 1: President Trump taking out political rivals, President Trump, vengeance, President
18:21
Speaker 1: Trump payback. You're gonna hear those kinds of things, mark
18:26
Speaker 1: my words. That's how they're gonna try to spin this.
18:29
Speaker 1: We'll see. I don't know, speaking of President Trump, wasn't
18:33
Speaker 1: just talking about treason, also talking about sports. Now, this
18:37
Speaker 1: is fascinating now. So often I try not to make
18:40
Speaker 1: it all about politics, but you can't avoid it. But
18:42
Speaker 1: so often what's going on in the sports world reflects
18:44
Speaker 1: what's going on in our world, right, not so much
18:47
Speaker 1: as fans, but just people living in this society in
18:49
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five of the United States of America like
18:52
Speaker 1: things that are going on. Well, we all know what
18:54
Speaker 1: happened a couple of years ago and probably the height
18:57
Speaker 1: of wokeness, when several of the teams, most notably the
19:01
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins, were forced to change their logo and name
19:05
Speaker 1: because it was deemed this is the important part offensive
19:08
Speaker 1: to some people. But who were the people? Cleveland Indians
19:12
Speaker 1: changed their name to the Cleveland Guardians or is that
19:15
Speaker 1: a downgrade? That's just a stupid name. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
19:17
Speaker 1: Cleveland fans, It's just is you probably agree with me.
19:20
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, a ton of the Washington football
19:23
Speaker 1: fans agree with me as well. Not happy with it.
19:26
Speaker 1: They still have thousands and thousands of people at their
19:29
Speaker 1: home games showing up in Redskins gear to make a statement,
19:32
Speaker 1: still posting things under the Redskins name. Still well, isn't
19:37
Speaker 1: this interesting? President Trump trumps on you guessed it, truth
19:42
Speaker 1: Social once again to talk about this particular issue. Is
19:45
Speaker 1: it time to go back to the Washington Redskins. He's
19:49
Speaker 1: actually posted about this before, He's talked about it before
19:51
Speaker 1: because he, like a lot of people, thought it was
19:54
Speaker 1: ridiculous that they even changed the name. So he sends
19:57
Speaker 1: one test balloon out there and he says, it's time
19:59
Speaker 1: where different society the Washington Redskins should go back. Interesting.
20:06
Speaker 1: Interesting that we have a president now that reads the
20:08
Speaker 1: tea leaves and reads the response, and he says, and
20:11
Speaker 1: he looked at the responses he got from his post
20:13
Speaker 1: on truth Social, and he's not done. He did a
20:17
Speaker 1: follow up post about his original post about the Washington
20:20
Speaker 1: Redskins where he says this, and I won't read the
20:22
Speaker 1: whole thing. My statement of the Redskins is totally blown
20:25
Speaker 1: up and only in a very positive way. Now it
20:28
Speaker 1: gets really interesting. So here's the background of this story.
20:31
Speaker 1: The Redskins are about to move to downtown d C.
20:34
Speaker 1: I think they've secured a land dealer financing something to
20:37
Speaker 1: move the stadium to d C instead of the suburbs. Well,
20:41
Speaker 1: listen to this. I may put a restriction on them
20:43
Speaker 1: if they don't change the name back to the original
20:45
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous Moniker commanders.
20:49
Speaker 1: I won't make a deal for them to build a
20:50
Speaker 1: stadium in Washington. The team would be much more valuable
20:53
Speaker 1: and the deal would be more exciting for everybody. And
20:56
Speaker 1: then he goes and talk about the Indians Cleveland should
20:58
Speaker 1: do the same if you were the owner of the
21:01
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins. Right, okay, what did surprise Let's start with this.
21:06
Speaker 1: Whatd it surprise you at all? If he's in kahoots
21:08
Speaker 1: with President Trump? Because it is way more it's way
21:11
Speaker 1: more valuable for that guy to go back to an
21:14
Speaker 1: original name, to go back to the old gear. And
21:16
Speaker 1: plus you'd get headlines forever, even if a lot of
21:20
Speaker 1: them are negative. Right, what ask you? They'll ask yourself this,
21:23
Speaker 1: would it surprise you? If the owner of the Redskins
21:27
Speaker 1: and maybe the Indians Guardians is in kahoots with Trump
21:31
Speaker 1: to get a green light to go ahead and make
21:33
Speaker 1: the change. This is like this short of a It's
21:35
Speaker 1: like a presidential pardon in the sports world. Right. Trump
21:38
Speaker 1: threatens to hold up financing for the stadium. So the
21:41
Speaker 1: owner comes back and he says, I know that some
21:44
Speaker 1: of you are offended. We're so sorry, but in order
21:46
Speaker 1: to finance our new downtown stadium, we have to change
21:52
Speaker 1: our name back to you guessed it. And I'm with
22:02
Speaker 1: the old original NFL teams. They had like rally songs
22:04
Speaker 1: like that, you know, like like like there were college teams.
22:07
Speaker 1: They were so cool. I mean, here's the thing. You
22:10
Speaker 1: may still be thinking, Redskins, Well, that's very racist. There
22:13
Speaker 1: was an old classic Chris Rock joke about it too.
22:15
Speaker 1: He said, that's about the most racist thing of all time. Possibly,
22:19
Speaker 1: poll after poll they've done from the team and just
22:23
Speaker 1: fanned based sites in general about should the team go
22:27
Speaker 1: back to the original name, Overwhelmingly, every single poll they've
22:32
Speaker 1: ever done is people say yes. Here's another thing. This
22:37
Speaker 1: is this is sports lore that goes back years and
22:40
Speaker 1: you can verify it yourself, any search term, any Google search,
22:44
Speaker 1: anything you want to do, public records, anything, sports history.
22:48
Speaker 1: About who designed the original Washington Redskins logo? And if
22:52
Speaker 1: you think back now, sports fans, you think about the
22:55
Speaker 1: Indian chief on the it's a profile with the feathers
22:57
Speaker 1: in the back, and it was a classic looking logo
22:59
Speaker 1: and great team colors as well. Ask yourself this, because
23:02
Speaker 1: I did, again, just as a refresher, who designed the
23:05
Speaker 1: Redskins logo? And here's your answer. Washington Redskins logo used
23:09
Speaker 1: from seventy two to twenty twenty. That's a long time,
23:12
Speaker 1: was designed by Walter Blackie Wetzel, who is Walter a
23:17
Speaker 1: member of the Blackfeet Nation and former chairman of the
23:20
Speaker 1: Blackfeet Tribe. That's something the regular news media didn't tell you.
23:26
Speaker 1: So a member of the Blackfeet Nation designed the Redskins logo.
23:33
Speaker 1: That right there should tell you everything you need to know.
23:37
Speaker 1: I go back to the same reasoning on this whole thing.
23:40
Speaker 1: Nobody that's ever put a Native American on a team name,
23:46
Speaker 1: or a logo or an image ever did it to
23:49
Speaker 1: disparage that group of people ever, Because you put it
23:53
Speaker 1: on because you saw them as courageous and fierce. That's
23:57
Speaker 1: what you name a team after. Nobody said the Redskins
24:01
Speaker 1: to disparage them, and the logo itself came from a
24:05
Speaker 1: member of the Blackfeet Nation, the tribe. I think he
24:09
Speaker 1: was okay with it, to be honest with you, So
24:12
Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe it's coming back. First takeaway today, you
24:16
Speaker 1: got to know your value before you ask for that race.
24:19
Speaker 1: You got to know how much money you make the
24:21
Speaker 1: company before you go with the big ask. WNBA players
24:24
Speaker 1: are learning that today and are treeson charges coming? I
24:29
Speaker 1: don't know. Nobody knows. But after the weekend, do you
24:33
Speaker 1: think they're more justified than ever? Maybe? Hey, it's only Monday,
24:37
Speaker 1: let's get going with it. Extra finding the live stream
24:40
