- 0:08Speaker 1: up the week's news cycle. Huh. Got the former head
- 0:11Speaker 1: of the FBI, Colin for acting President Trump in a
- 0:16Speaker 1: very violent way, and then you got the people who
- 0:18Speaker 1: were saying he didn't mean that, what are you crazy?
- 0:21Speaker 1: And he even he himself is saying, I didn't know
- 0:24Speaker 1: people meant that as a violent threat. And that's what
- 0:28Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about today, believe it

- 0:36Speaker 1: just it's trending that much. James Comby, former head of
- 0:39Speaker 1: the FBI, posting a message with seashells in the sand
- 0:45Speaker 1: on his morning walk where it's at eighty six forty seven,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and then his downplaying of it, and then the world's
- 0:53Speaker 1: reaction to it, and even some people in the current
- 0:55Speaker 1: administration their reaction to it. Believe it or not, as
- 0:58Speaker 1: disturbing as that is, if you really know what that means,
- 1:02Speaker 1: there is light in this. There actually is some good news.
- 1:05Speaker 1: It should tell all of us. This is the turning point.
- 1:08Speaker 1: This is that led the watershed moment in regular people's lives.
- 1:12Speaker 1: This shows all of us who you need to beware of,
- 1:16Speaker 1: not lash out against, not even engage with, just the
- 1:19Speaker 1: psychos who try to downplay this in your regular life.
- 1:23Speaker 1: This is your sign and this is important to know.
- 1:25Speaker 1: So we'll get into that. We also have Oh, we've
- 1:27Speaker 1: got a Bruce Springsteen update to talk about. Eh, he's
- 1:31Speaker 1: still an idiot. But there's good news regarding Memorial Day.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend is like we're in the red zone.
- 1:36Speaker 1: It's days away, the end of the month coming up,
- 1:39Speaker 1: Triple A says, And this should be a good sign
- 1:41Speaker 1: of the economy, that people believe in the economy. And
- 1:43Speaker 1: yes it's true gas prices are down. Should be record
- 1:47Speaker 1: travel for a Memorial Day kind of stinks if you're
- 1:49Speaker 1: gonna be stuck in traffic. But related to that, there
- 1:52Speaker 1: may be an awesome, awesome piece of news about something
- 1:57Speaker 1: we've all been dealing with in our cars. You know
- 1:59Speaker 1: that's stupid stop start feature where your car stops in
- 2:03Speaker 1: the intersection. It actually may be going away, believe it
- 2:06Speaker 1: or not, according to the new head of the EPA.
- 2:09Speaker 1: We'll get into that as well. But first of all, thanks,
- 2:11Speaker 1: lookind A Friday. Don't let me go too far without
- 2:14Speaker 1: mentioning that on the cusp of the weekend. Welcome to it.
- 2:17Speaker 1: We have a great Friday, and thank you for finding
- 2:19Speaker 1: me as well. By the way, on all the channels,
- 2:21Speaker 1: all the social media channels, the overall umbrella thing is
- 2:24Speaker 1: Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams on Facebook and YouTube and
- 2:28Speaker 1: here on X as well. But the audio podcast we'll
- 2:32Speaker 1: post it as soon as we get off right here,
- 2:35Speaker 1: and then the replay lives on forever really basically until
- 2:39Speaker 1: Facebook takes it away either a here on X as well,
- 2:41Speaker 1: so you can find that as well, but make sure
- 2:44Speaker 1: you follow on all of these channels, whichever one year
- 2:46Speaker 1: on so we can kind of get this going more.
- 2:47Speaker 1: And like I said, we'll get more features, exclusive features
- 2:50Speaker 1: coming to Facebook version of this in a little while.
- 2:52Speaker 1: All right, let's get right to it. The news everybody's
- 2:54Speaker 1: talking about it is a massive, massive story by design,
- 2:57Speaker 1: by the way. I'll get into that in a second
- 2:59Speaker 1: as well. James call Mey, former director of the FBI,
- 3:03Speaker 1: that's right, called by Trump himself is one of the
- 3:06Speaker 1: most crooked people ever to grace the halls of Washington,
- 3:09Speaker 1: DC and Capitol Hill. But he is what he is.
- 3:12Speaker 1: So he's out of office right now, and you've seen
- 3:15Speaker 1: the story by now, and you've seen the picture. It's everywhere.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So he's walking along and he posts this on Instagram,
- 3:21Speaker 1: which is what makes the most amount of news these days.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Apparently he posts found an interesting seashell formation on my
- 3:27Speaker 1: morning walk, and you've seen it eighty six forty seven.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So that's what caused all the controversy because of what
- 3:36Speaker 1: it means to anybody then understands what it means, okay,
- 3:39Speaker 1: But he quickly deleted that, supposedly because of the backlash
- 3:44Speaker 1: and the reaction to it. Right well after he deleted it.
- 3:47Speaker 1: This is by the time the entire world saw at
- 3:49Speaker 1: the Southern News story. Because this isn't just anybody, This
- 3:51Speaker 1: isn't one of the crazy cat ladies at an anti
- 3:53Speaker 1: Doge protest in the streets somewhere carrying one of those
- 3:56Speaker 1: eighty six forty seven signs, which we've seen a lot,
- 3:59Speaker 1: by the way, This is a This is not just
- 4:02Speaker 1: by happenstance. This is a designed message to get out there.
- 4:06Speaker 1: So he deletes it, and then by the time that happens,
- 4:09Speaker 1: the entire world has seen. It's so damage done, message
- 4:12Speaker 1: sent right, Well, let's go then he apologizes for it,
- 4:15Speaker 1: which nobody's buying. Instead of me reading his apology, let's
- 4:18Speaker 1: go to Young Peter Doocey on Fox News last night,
- 4:21Speaker 1: explaining the entire thing away. Here he is.
- 4:22Speaker 2: He deleted the original post with the cool shell formation,
- 4:26Speaker 2: and he writes, I posted a picture earlier of some
- 4:30Speaker 2: shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I
- 4:33Speaker 2: assumed were a political message. I didn't realize some folks
- 4:36Speaker 2: associated those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me,
- 4:40Speaker 2: but I oppose violence of any kind, and I took
- 4:42Speaker 2: the post down.
- 4:44Speaker 1: It never occurred to the former director of the FBI
- 4:49Speaker 1: that eighty six forty seven means a hell of a
- 4:52Speaker 1: lot more than just a eighty six restaurant message, because
- 4:55Speaker 1: I've heard that as well today. Eighty six that just
- 4:57Speaker 1: means we're out of something. Hmm, Not so much in
- 5:02Speaker 1: popular American slang, it's become way more and certainly something
- 5:06Speaker 1: that James Comy is aware of and everybody else is
- 5:09Speaker 1: aware of. It is a message to end. Somebody can
- 5:13Speaker 1: be taken a couple of ways. In mob slang, this
- 5:15Speaker 1: is kind of well understood. You take somebody eight miles
- 5:17Speaker 1: out and bury him six feet under, or if you're
- 5:19Speaker 1: just talking about a grave, it's eight feet and six
- 5:23Speaker 1: feet deep. That's what it means. Now when you put
- 5:27Speaker 1: forty seven next to eighty six, Gee, what could that mean?
- 5:31Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Trump is forty seven. Yeah. So here's the thing,
- 5:36Speaker 1: here's the takeaway. We'll get into what this means for
- 5:37Speaker 1: him in just a second. This is what I mean
- 5:40Speaker 1: by this actually being believe it or not good news,
- 5:44Speaker 1: because this is the watershed moment, the final determination. You're
- 5:47Speaker 1: kind of unsure, you know, you know you're hearing a
- 5:48Speaker 1: lot of this insane stuff from absolutely brainwashed, crazy people.
- 5:53Speaker 1: You've heard it maybe at work, hopefully not in your family.
- 5:56Speaker 1: You've seen it on the news. You've seen these crazy
- 5:58Speaker 1: protests with these just out of control idiots. Those are
- 6:02Speaker 1: the ones today, and you've probably heard it already this morning.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Those are the ones today. Downplaying this. Hey didn't mean that.
- 6:09Speaker 1: That's not what it means. Stop reading into things. Okay,
- 6:14Speaker 1: This is why it's good news because I always try
- 6:17Speaker 1: to take the new A big part of communication, which
- 6:19Speaker 1: is what I talk about, is understanding what the hell
- 6:22Speaker 1: the bs in the news is all about. Right, And
- 6:24Speaker 1: how to apply it to your personal life. It's a
- 6:26Speaker 1: massive part of communication and your people skills dealing with anybody.
- 6:28Speaker 1: It's why I dedicate a whole live stream to what
- 6:30Speaker 1: the hell the crap is in the propaganda news We
- 6:32Speaker 1: talk about this. This is the skill you can apply
- 6:36Speaker 1: to this. So the people saying that are the ones
- 6:38Speaker 1: you really need to watch out for. I'm honest to
- 6:41Speaker 1: I hand to god, I mean that, and now you
- 6:44Speaker 1: know for sure. So it's kind of like it's kind
- 6:46Speaker 1: of like a litmus test, like this is the final thing.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean these people you need to lash
- 6:50Speaker 1: out against them, engage with them. All I'm saying is
- 6:54Speaker 1: you encounter the people in your personal life now or
- 6:57Speaker 1: in the real world who are downplaying the eight threat
- 7:00Speaker 1: from comy. That's who you know is a dangerous, brainwashed individual.
- 7:04Speaker 1: And I mean that truly. Now. Doesn't mean you engage
- 7:08Speaker 1: with them, doesn't mean you have to have anything to
- 7:10Speaker 1: do with them. All it means is have your intenna
- 7:12Speaker 1: up for those folks because they are the most twisted
- 7:16Speaker 1: among us. I mean it. And I know it's a
- 7:18Speaker 1: lot to say. I totally get that, but you know,
- 7:21Speaker 1: you know that old comedian used to say, here's your sign. Well,
- 7:24Speaker 1: there's your sign. The people who will post stuff talk
- 7:27Speaker 1: about it, they're at work, they're whatever. Who are saying
- 7:30Speaker 1: that's so stupid. People making too much about that. No,
- 7:32Speaker 1: it isn't too much because there's one hundred percent a
- 7:35Speaker 1: propaganda message from this guy. So that just use it
- 7:39Speaker 1: as a use it as a people skills tool. Those
- 7:41Speaker 1: people who are talking about that and laughing about it,
- 7:44Speaker 1: they're the dangerous ones. Like I said, don't engage with them.
- 7:46Speaker 1: You don't have to just be wearing keep your intenta up.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Now we're all asking the same question, all right, So
- 7:52Speaker 1: what happens to this guy, he's the former director of
- 7:55Speaker 1: the FBI. Is anything gonna happen? And I'm with you.
- 7:57Speaker 1: I said the first thing when this came out, when
- 7:59Speaker 1: I first saw that picture, call me in the cool
- 8:01Speaker 1: Seashell formation eighty six forty sip. Yeah, like that wasn't
- 8:05Speaker 1: by design, By the way, I truly believe he actually
- 8:08Speaker 1: set up the shell fromasion himself, didn't just take the picture.
- 8:10Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there is anything going to
- 8:13Speaker 1: happen to him. I'm with you. We're so beaten down
- 8:15Speaker 1: by corrupt individuals getting away with things that nothing would
- 8:18Speaker 1: make direct threats against the administration or president, nothing will happen.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Maybe I was wrong, Maybe we were wrong about that.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Maybe I'm still leaning that way, but maybe not. Listen
- 8:30Speaker 1: to Telsea Gabbard last night and her reaction to it,
- 8:32Speaker 1: and the reaction from pretty much everybody who's in the
- 8:36Speaker 1: Newsmaker was hot and heavy about this last night. By design.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Here's what she says about it. Keep in mind, Telsea
- 8:42Speaker 1: Gabbard now is the Director of National Intelligence. Pretty recently,
- 8:48Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, she put behind bars a
- 8:51Speaker 1: guy in Georgia who was making threats against her. Granted
- 8:56Speaker 1: that guy's not the former director of the FBI with
- 8:58Speaker 1: all those connections, but still, here's what she said about it.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And this caught my attention.
- 9:03Speaker 3: The rule of law says people like him who issued
- 9:05Speaker 3: direct threats against the President of the United States, essentially
- 9:09Speaker 3: issuing a call to assassinate him, must be held accountable.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Under the law. Do you believe Komye should be in jail?
- 9:15Speaker 3: I do any other person with the position of influence
- 9:21Speaker 3: that he has, People who take very seriously what a
- 9:25Speaker 3: guy of his stature, his experience and what the propaganda
- 9:29Speaker 3: media has built him up to be I'm very concerned
- 9:32Speaker 3: for the President's life. We've already seen assassination attempts. I'm
- 9:36Speaker 3: very concerned for his life and James Comy, in my view,
- 9:39Speaker 3: should be held accountable and put behind bars for this.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Okay, well, that's a little different because usually when things
- 9:47Speaker 1: like this happen, you have anybody from an administration during
- 9:50Speaker 1: any era, they come out and they say, well, we're
- 9:52Speaker 1: still gathering all the facts and we're looking into it.
- 9:55Speaker 1: This is a little different. Doesn't mean anything's going to happen,
- 9:58Speaker 1: but the approach so far it is different. This is
- 10:01Speaker 1: the Director of National Intelligence, Telsea Gabbard saying she thinks
- 10:04Speaker 1: this guy Calemy should be behind bars for a direct
- 10:08Speaker 1: threat against the president of the United States. That's a
- 10:11Speaker 1: little different, and it is the first step. It doesn't
- 10:13Speaker 1: mean anything's gonna happen, but the first step is coming
- 10:16Speaker 1: out with a statement like that. What's different is that
- 10:18Speaker 1: statement came within four hours of him posting that, and
- 10:22Speaker 1: the stupid apology and the fake apology and all that
- 10:24Speaker 1: other crap. Okay, that's a little different. It doesn't mean
- 10:27Speaker 1: anything's gonna happen, doesn't mean he is gonna, you know,
- 10:30Speaker 1: actually pay a price for this. But that's the first step.
- 10:34Speaker 1: So that's interesting. She's not the only one calling for this.
- 10:37Speaker 1: And this will be a major topic, not on the
- 10:40Speaker 1: Sunday news shows over the weekend, but people who have
- 10:44Speaker 1: major platforms talking about this and what it actually means,
- 10:47Speaker 1: because like I said, and I'll repeat this a couple
- 10:50Speaker 1: of times, they will be people in the propaganda media
- 10:53Speaker 1: downplaying this and people in your personal life trying to
- 10:55Speaker 1: downplay this. Those are the psychos, those are the ones
- 10:58Speaker 1: to watch out for. Now here's the other piece of
- 11:01Speaker 1: information we learned last night after this COMI threat came out.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Isn't it funny? Isn't it co isn't it quite the
- 11:07Speaker 1: coincidence that he's got a new book coming out and
- 11:11Speaker 1: a speaking tour on the book signing tour coming out
- 11:15Speaker 1: that starts next week. Oh, isn't that amazing? So Thursday
- 11:19Speaker 1: night into the Friday weekend news cycle, this guy posts
- 11:22Speaker 1: this thing and he dominates the news cycle because it
- 11:25Speaker 1: is the number one story in the country right now.
- 11:27Speaker 1: It is. It even topped Trump's pretty wild Middle East trip.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? How far we've come? How far we've
- 11:37Speaker 1: come that the way to get the number one trending
- 11:41Speaker 1: news story in the country right now is to make
- 11:43Speaker 1: a direct threat against the president. Isn't that funny? Isn't
- 11:46Speaker 1: that funny? How that works? Sick, twisted, but funny. I'll
- 11:51Speaker 1: repeat this a couple of different times because and there's
- 11:53Speaker 1: a lot of you joining right now. He didn't hear
- 11:54Speaker 1: the intro. This is your this is your litmus tests.
- 11:58Speaker 1: You've always kind of suspected and you've kind of kept
- 12:00Speaker 1: your mouth shut, and how it relates, and you take
- 12:01Speaker 1: it out of the headlines related to your personal life.
- 12:04Speaker 1: The people who are buying this hook line and sinker
- 12:07Speaker 1: d didn't mean anything. Buy the stop reading into that.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Those are the psychos psychopaths are downplaying this. It's exactly
- 12:15Speaker 1: what it means. There's not anybody with an ounce of
- 12:17Speaker 1: common sense in your life right now that doesn't know
- 12:20Speaker 1: what eighty six means. You attach forty seven to it.
- 12:24Speaker 1: That's exactly what that means. And here's the problem, and
- 12:27Speaker 1: here's the really really twisted part about somebody like Homey
- 12:29Speaker 1: downplaying this with a fake apology Instagram post after he
- 12:33Speaker 1: supposedly took the original post down. It doesn't matter. The
- 12:37Speaker 1: damage is done. You've already had two assassination attempts on
- 12:41Speaker 1: the President's life already they survived. And it doesn't matter
- 12:46Speaker 1: what you are lying about, your interpretation or not, it
- 12:49Speaker 1: doesn't matter you posted it. And you've revved up enough
- 12:52Speaker 1: psychopaths in this country, enough people who really truly have
- 12:56Speaker 1: mental illness. The message is to them, and this is
- 12:59Speaker 1: how they read the political violence is a okay Because
- 13:03Speaker 1: this guy, James Comy, a guy of his stature, he
- 13:05Speaker 1: used to head up the FBI. He's saying that kind
- 13:08Speaker 1: of thing is okay. And I've seen that. I've seen
- 13:10Speaker 1: that eighty six, forty seven and all those anti dosee rallies,
- 13:13Speaker 1: and I've seen that a lot. This is how they
- 13:15Speaker 1: normalize things. They rev up the most deranged among us,
- 13:20Speaker 1: and they're out there and they're normalizing that kind of violence.
- 13:24Speaker 1: That's why this is so bad. And I think that's
- 13:26Speaker 1: why people like Telsea Gabbard and other people in intelligence.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Cash Bettel has already said he's sending the Secret Service
- 13:32Speaker 1: to talk to Komy. Comedy doesn't care. They don't care.
- 13:34Speaker 1: The message is already done. He's already done the damage
- 13:37Speaker 1: or sent the message or whatever the hell it is
- 13:39Speaker 1: to get out there. Number one, to create more divide
- 13:42Speaker 1: and more violence and to normalize it. And number two
- 13:45Speaker 1: promote his book which is coming out. Isn't that funny?
- 13:48Speaker 1: So that's where we are now, Isn't that amazing? That's
- 13:52Speaker 1: how far, that's how far we've fallen. And then that's
- 13:56Speaker 1: a normal thing. And they'll be and the propaganda media
- 13:58Speaker 1: that he has in his back pocket willver for him
- 14:01Speaker 1: all weekend long. They're already starting it. It's amazing. But
- 14:04Speaker 1: the difference is normal people, You and me and everybody else.
- 14:08Speaker 1: We're not buying it anymore. People. People push back now
- 14:11Speaker 1: and they're not buying it. But he actually has enough
- 14:15Speaker 1: influence still to pull the wool over the eyes of
- 14:18Speaker 1: the people who are the most arranged in our society
- 14:20Speaker 1: to say no, he didn't mean that. It's unbelievable. All right,
- 14:25Speaker 1: Entertainment News, believe it or not, let's get an update
- 14:28Speaker 1: on Bruce Springsteen. Yep, still an idiot, now, I get
- 14:32Speaker 1: it now. This this falls into that category of I
- 14:35Speaker 1: gotta separate my favorite artists or writers or actors performers
- 14:42Speaker 1: from their messaging, otherwise I'll go crazy. And I totally
- 14:46Speaker 1: understand that there's only a couple of celebrities in the
- 14:50Speaker 1: performing arts that I can't deal with anymore. There's only
- 14:53Speaker 1: a couple. One is what used to be my favorite actor,
- 14:55Speaker 1: Robert de Niro, because he's just so stupid. The stuff
- 14:59Speaker 1: he says is, oh, just so off bass. I see
- 15:03Speaker 1: him in a movie now and I can't. I can't
- 15:05Speaker 1: over I can't overcome it. Most most other artists I can.
- 15:07Speaker 1: The other one is Stephen King, the writer, because he
- 15:09Speaker 1: used to love Stephen King books, but he is also
- 15:11Speaker 1: so inbelievably off bass with his comments about what's going
- 15:15Speaker 1: on in current events. I can't read Stephen King books
- 15:18Speaker 1: anymore because I'm afraid because reading is a really intimate thing.
- 15:21Speaker 1: It's like you're in the mind of the author. You're
- 15:23Speaker 1: reading the words as they thought of them and wrote
- 15:25Speaker 1: them down. I want to I don't want to get
- 15:26Speaker 1: in there. I may not come out, you know what
- 15:27Speaker 1: I'm saying. But Springsteen is on the edge from me
- 15:30Speaker 1: because I've always loved Bruce's music always, But boy is
- 15:34Speaker 1: he stupid. And I mean that. And you may be mad,
- 15:36Speaker 1: you may you may unfollow, you may dislike, you may
- 15:39Speaker 1: block me. I don't care. This is a truly stupid individual.
- 15:43Speaker 1: He always has been. He's just always been. I've just
- 15:47Speaker 1: read enough, met people who have known him. Great artists,
- 15:51Speaker 1: great songwriker, songwriter, great performer. I've seen and heard enough
- 15:57Speaker 1: from people who know him. He's pretty dumb. And by
- 16:01Speaker 1: the way, here's a little something from Bruce Springsteen, who's
- 16:04Speaker 1: always played up his image of I'm the working man.
- 16:07Speaker 1: You know, I have a song for the working man,
- 16:08Speaker 1: and I understand what it's like to struggle. Bruce Springsteen
- 16:11Speaker 1: became a multi millionaire when he was twenty four years old.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Think of you when you were twenty four and they
- 16:17Speaker 1: guy would change your life and your perspective on things
- 16:20Speaker 1: and the bubble you were in, the people to protect you,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and the people who let you only see and experience
- 16:25Speaker 1: certain things. When Born to Run came out seventy five,
- 16:28Speaker 1: he was twenty four years old, he's been a millionaire
- 16:29Speaker 1: ever since. He has no concept, no concept for fifty years,
- 16:35Speaker 1: of what it's like to be the working man or
- 16:37Speaker 1: just a regular person in everyday life. So when he
- 16:40Speaker 1: says stuff like this, not only on stage but in
- 16:44Speaker 1: a foreign country, still bothers me. Apparently, that's okay. These days,
- 16:49Speaker 1: when he says this in the UK, I go back
- 16:53Speaker 1: to thinking that that this guy just he has no
- 16:55Speaker 1: idea what's going on. He's on stage breaks it down
- 16:58Speaker 1: in one of his concerts. You pay what what's it cost
- 17:01Speaker 1: to see Springsteen in a floor seat? Now? Three hundred
- 17:03Speaker 1: bucks four in a bucks and you got to listen
- 17:05Speaker 1: to this. Apparently the crowd in England absolutely loved it.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Here's here's the Boss, the love and the about as
- 17:16Speaker 1: the being of whole liberty for two hundred and fifty
- 17:20Speaker 1: years is currently in of as incompetent. Well, that administration
- 17:32Speaker 1: has just secured trillions of dollars for ourselves. They're cleaning
- 17:36Speaker 1: up government, the putting the crooks in jail. But he
- 17:38Speaker 1: doesn't hear that though, again because the bubble he's been
- 17:41Speaker 1: in has been in since nineteen seventy five, incompetent, corrupt,
- 17:47Speaker 1: but never said anything about the past administration we just
- 17:50Speaker 1: lived through where now they're admitting that they covered up
- 17:54Speaker 1: the cognitive decline of the president people in his own administration.
- 17:59Speaker 1: But spring he never said that because he's not aware
- 18:01Speaker 1: of it. Again, this is a stupid person in a
- 18:05Speaker 1: very very protective bubble. He has no idea what he's
- 18:08Speaker 1: talking about. Here's the other thing too, which amazes me.
- 18:11Speaker 1: This is another example of how far we've come or
- 18:13Speaker 1: how far we've fallen. Do you remember the story of
- 18:15Speaker 1: the Dixie Chicks and how they were rigid their back
- 18:19Speaker 1: I guess, and you know they survived it, which is
- 18:21Speaker 1: pretty amazing. In two thousand and four, I think it
- 18:24Speaker 1: was two thousand and four, Yeah, pretty sure that was
- 18:26Speaker 1: the year they got They were one of the first
- 18:29Speaker 1: acts to be canceled in the States because they spoke
- 18:35Speaker 1: out against and apparently insulted the Bush administration. Funny enough,
- 18:38Speaker 1: in England on foreign soil. At the time. I was
- 18:41Speaker 1: in country radio at the time when this happened, and
- 18:42Speaker 1: it was I mean, it was a director from on
- 18:44Speaker 1: high wouldn't play it was we weren't playing their stuff
- 18:48Speaker 1: or promoting their tours. We wouldn't talk about them, no
- 18:51Speaker 1: more interviews, wouldn't do. It canceled. Now look at it now,
- 18:56Speaker 1: it's totally fine. Now it's totally fine to speak out
- 18:59Speaker 1: against America and spit on the administration that's currently in
- 19:03Speaker 1: office on foreign soil. And that's okay, all right, that's fine.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Here's what else has changed though, There's less and less
- 19:11Speaker 1: people listening to celebrities like Bruce Springsteen, and he's not
- 19:15Speaker 1: aware of that because he's too stupid to realize it's
- 19:16Speaker 1: I mean, that's the God's honest truth. How often do
- 19:19Speaker 1: you see it? How often you see just social media
- 19:21Speaker 1: comments where people are saying, God, I wish my favorite
- 19:23Speaker 1: artist would just shot up. You see it, You hear
- 19:26Speaker 1: it all the time. But people like Springsteen aren't even
- 19:29Speaker 1: aware of that because of that bubble he's in. He
- 19:31Speaker 1: doesn't know, he doesn't know how stupid he sounds by
- 19:34Speaker 1: doing that, by talking about things he has no idea
- 19:36Speaker 1: about on stage in England and okay, he's playing up
- 19:40Speaker 1: to the crowd. Apparently they loved it all right, fine,
- 19:44Speaker 1: but that's not here. I have not heard him, by
- 19:47Speaker 1: the way, this is interesting. I'd like to see him
- 19:49Speaker 1: come back to the States and tour and say the
- 19:51Speaker 1: exact same thing. I want to hear the crowd reaction.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Most of it, over fifty percent just gobbles up whatever
- 19:57Speaker 1: he says on stage anyway, And that's fine, but I
- 19:59Speaker 1: bet you wouldn't as enthusiastic as the English crowd. I
- 20:02Speaker 1: bet you we'll see I don't know, but Springsteen is
- 20:07Speaker 1: a dope. He always has been. I'm still trying to
- 20:10Speaker 1: I still love his music. I'm still trying to separate it,
- 20:13Speaker 1: but that's what he is. Let's start talking about some
- 20:16Speaker 1: weekend type stuff and get out of all of this.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Memorial Days almost up. But can you believe it's almost
- 20:22Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend? We're like in the red zone weeks
- 20:25Speaker 1: days away from Memorial Day. Well, the Triple A right
- 20:27Speaker 1: around this time of the year as it comes out
- 20:29Speaker 1: with its estimate, it was estimate how many and it's
- 20:32Speaker 1: always record breaking travel. Well, this time they're anticipating a
- 20:36Speaker 1: record that's been standing since two thousand and five as
- 20:39Speaker 1: far as Memorial Day travel coming up. So beware, it's
- 20:42Speaker 1: a good sign for the economy. It's kind of tough
- 20:43Speaker 1: if you're going to be traveling. They always put it
- 20:45Speaker 1: over fifty miles or more. Triple A says, get this though.
- 20:50Speaker 1: They expect and they estimate, and they're usually right about
- 20:52Speaker 1: these things. Forty five point one million of US forty
- 20:57Speaker 1: five point one million people will be traveling somewhere, driving
- 21:00Speaker 1: somewhere Memorial Day weekend fifty miles or more. It's going
- 21:04Speaker 1: to be crowded. Now, what's that mean? You know, it
- 21:06Speaker 1: means that gas prices are down nationally. They are, despite
- 21:10Speaker 1: what the media is trying to tell you they actually
- 21:13Speaker 1: it is. It's working. Oh side note, you're at anybody
- 21:16Speaker 1: talking about egg prices recently, those are going down too.
- 21:19Speaker 1: But anyway, so that's a good sign of the economy.
- 21:21Speaker 1: It's a good sign that people are willing to spend again,
- 21:24Speaker 1: go on vacation, enjoy, enjoy the weekend. Right, it's a
- 21:28Speaker 1: good sign. It's a good sign for consumer confidence. So
- 21:32Speaker 1: that's cool. It's just going to be crowded, so get
- 21:34Speaker 1: ready for that. But imagine this scenario, and I'm going
- 21:37Speaker 1: to wrap this up today with some good news. Imagine
- 21:39Speaker 1: this scenario some Memorial Day in the future, probably not
- 21:43Speaker 1: next year, but maybe Memorial Day. Let's put it twenty
- 21:47Speaker 1: twenty seven right around there. You're driving your new SUV
- 21:49Speaker 1: with the fam. You're driving around and you stop at
- 21:52Speaker 1: a stop light in some major city and you're not forced.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Your car doesn't turn off when you didn't want it
- 21:59Speaker 1: to turn off. We all do you know anybody that
- 22:03Speaker 1: is in favor of that stop start technology feature that
- 22:06Speaker 1: we all deal with now, I can't begin to explain
- 22:08Speaker 1: to you how much I hate that thing. I absolutely
- 22:11Speaker 1: hate it. Here's some background. The first time we ever
- 22:14Speaker 1: encountered that thing was in twenty twelve, and the Obama
- 22:19Speaker 1: administration gave a little trophy green climate certificate to car
- 22:24Speaker 1: companies to do this thing. Even though it's been proven
- 22:26Speaker 1: to do absolutely nothing to stop your car at an
- 22:30Speaker 1: intersection and then start up again. Nobody ever thought, by
- 22:32Speaker 1: the way, what's this doing to my starter? Like the
- 22:35Speaker 1: constant turning off and on, what's that doing to my transmission?
- 22:38Speaker 1: What's the damage that's actually doing? Because it does nothing.
- 22:42Speaker 1: It does nothing to save the environment. It's all just
- 22:45Speaker 1: a just a ruse and another annoyance we have to
- 22:48Speaker 1: deal with. Maybe not much longer, because the guy who's
- 22:51Speaker 1: head of the EPA right now, the Environmental Protection Agency,
- 22:54Speaker 1: is Lee Zelden. He almost won the gobernatorial race in
- 22:58Speaker 1: New York State couple of years years ago, but he
- 23:01Speaker 1: got nominated and confirmed as the director of the e PA.
- 23:05Speaker 1: He is he's been lashing out against the stop start
- 23:09Speaker 1: feature in cars. It's like one of his major missions,
- 23:11Speaker 1: and I'm fine with it. It doesn't seem like the most
- 23:13Speaker 1: important thing oh, I get it is though there are
- 23:17Speaker 1: little things like this, Little little things that improve your
- 23:20Speaker 1: daily life matter to people. It matters to me. Here's
- 23:24Speaker 1: what he said just last night. It was an interview
- 23:27Speaker 1: on News Nation that network where he gave a background
- 23:31Speaker 1: of what I just explained with the stop start feature
- 23:34Speaker 1: and how it came into our lives, but what he
- 23:36Speaker 1: wants to do with it in the very near future.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Are you gonna say, you know what, cars that are
- 23:40Speaker 2: built in the US can't have it, have this, What
- 23:43Speaker 2: do you actually do about it? EPA would go through
- 23:47Speaker 2: the process of revoking its approval on the off on
- 23:51Speaker 2: the off cycle credit.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yes, that's good news. So soon, not in time for
- 23:57Speaker 1: this Memorial Day, probably not next year, but new cars
- 24:01Speaker 1: maybe a couple of years away. Get rid of that
- 24:04Speaker 1: stupid feature. Common sense is coming back. Love that I
- 24:07Speaker 1: had to wrap it up with some good news. It
- 24:09Speaker 1: was so disturbing today. But that's the takeaway. There actually
- 24:12Speaker 1: is light at the end of the tunnel. With Comy's
- 24:13Speaker 1: eighty six forty seven thread, it gives you me and
- 24:16Speaker 1: everybody else in your personal life. It's like a litmus test.
- 24:20Speaker 1: It'll show you who the psychos are. The people who
- 24:23Speaker 1: downplay that and say that's not a thread, that's not
- 24:26Speaker 1: Those are the brainwash psychos. Beware of them. Don't lash
- 24:30Speaker 1: out against them. Just keep your antenna up and beware.
- 24:34Speaker 1: We'll see what the reaction is throughout the weekend new
- 24:37Speaker 1: cycle to that. Probably not much, but you and I
- 24:40Speaker 1: will be aware of it anyway. Let's see all right,
- 24:42Speaker 1: and don't forget to find the audio podcast from the replay,
- 24:46Speaker 1: let's be posted about ten minutes after we get off
- 24:48Speaker 1: the air right here and Wicked Wisdom with me. Make
