Speaker 1 (00:07):
No more mister nice Trump, because he was so nice
before the criminals in DC. Right, there's a big press
conference we're expecting today about cracking down on crime in DC.
You and I we talked about this a lot last week.
It's coming. We knew what was coming that. I think
it starts today. It starts in the nation's capital. But
here's how it affects everybody. I think it's coming to
(00:29):
every city. Eventually, they're going to crack down on crime,
and they don't care about who opposes it. Now watch
out to see who opposes actually cracking down on crime.
He's a dictator. We'd told you he was good because
that's coming to well, we'll try to preview what's in
the press conference a little bit later on. Also, we
have an absolutely horrific UCLA student in her graduation speech
(00:50):
who and you're gonna have to excuse the language on
this one. I couldn't edit it out. It was just impossible.
And it's part of the story. Actually, But if you
feel bad and it's disturbed you, and there was a
lot of consternation about this story, this girl speech, it's
okay because you shouldn't feel sorry for these colleges when
they lose funding in the future and apparently college admissions
are down. They did this to themselves. That's what you
(01:10):
have to keep remembering. We have an unbelievable story out
of Florida, Flagler County specifically about a fake nurse who
got busted. And I don't have any numbers whatsoever to
prove this, but my theory is I would be willing
to bet you there are fake nurses and fake medical
professionals throughout the entire country. They happen to bust this lady.
Where do you hear how many patients she's treated in
the past though, And it's a good reminder, and here's
(01:32):
the takeaway for all of us to ask questions, become
good consumers again when you go into a medical facility.
And we'll wrap it up with from that loser to
an absolute winner and a hero we lost Jim Lovell. Yeah,
of course from Apollo thirteen to the movie, and a
lot of us learn about Jim Lovell and that story
through that movie. Who's ninety seven years old? What an
(01:54):
absolute complete hero that guy was. Anyway, a lot to
talk about. Exs for being here, Appreciate you always, Thanks
for finding the wicked Radio. I can talk Wicked Radio
livestream all part of Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams. Thanks
for being here on the audio podcast. If you're listening
later on or you're watching the live stream replay later
on and you already know what this press conference is
all about, well you're ahead of the game. But here
(02:18):
we go. This is the announcement that came out over
the weekend, and he actually did two posts on truth
Social Trump did about what's happening about cracking down on
DC crime. We're having a news conference tomorrow, meaning today
in the White House. They're calling it for ten am.
Then you know how these things go, that means probably
ten thirty. They're never on time, but maybe this one
will be. It's all about making Washington, DC safe, but
(02:41):
it's not just about the nation's capital symbolically. It has
to start there, right, been a lot of talk about
that going to bring the National Guard in. It's already
been in a lot of news stories about moving the
homeless out. That's already started the pushback on that. But
I think it's gonna be something more. And I would
not be surprised if Trump at this press conference also
(03:02):
brings out very close friend to his Another one we
talked about on Friday, Janine Piro. You might not judge
Janine from her Fox days, you know, as a contributor.
I think she was on the five on Guttfield couple
of times. But she's also now more importantly, the US
Attorney for the District of Columbia, and she's talked about
(03:22):
this multiple times, over and over and over again, about
cracking down on crime. Little example, this was just from
last Hi.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Everyone, I'm Janeine Piro, the US Attorney in DC, and
we are prioritizing the President's executive order to make DC
safe and beautiful. And as part of that initiative, what
my office has done in recent weeks is we are
now trying to identify those illegals who are currently burrowed
(03:50):
in our criminal justice system.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So that's all part of it too, obviously, you know,
the immigration issue, and Ice is all part of his name.
I wouldn't be surprised you'll know this later on because
maybe you're watching this or listening to it after the
press conference. Maybe Tom Homan, director of Vice will be there,
maybe Homeland Security people will be there. I don't know,
but this whole thing starts this is why it's so
(04:13):
important these stories that get out there big balls. Remember
the kid from doge about beaten to a pulp trying
to save his girlfriend, you know, is there about to
be carjacked, got beaten by ten to twelve thugs in
the street of Washington, DC. That was disturbing, but it
has an effect. When leadership is strong, it does. Those
stories matter. That's why people like you and me and
(04:35):
people in casual conversation were so outraged by it. The
Cincinnati couple, they were beaten close to death by a
mob of twenty people. These stories matter because we've reached
a point. You can feel it, you know it too,
just talking to your friends and family, or people at
work friends, you hear barroom conversations, or you overhear people
talking about it at restaurants. People have had enough. They've
(04:57):
just there is I don't think there's ever been so
much temperament for pushback against crime in this country. That's why. Now,
maybe maybe you don't even like Trump. I have no idea.
You don't like this administration. You like what they're doing
with deportation, I don't know, but one thing's undeniable. It
gets a pretty good sense of the pulse of the
nation of what's going on. This is part of the pushback.
(05:18):
This is where it starts. Whatever the hell they're going
to talk about with this press conference today, it's gonna
be about cracking down on crime. And I think they're
doing it. I think they're doing it now because they
have the support of the country behind them, Because I
I hear it myself. How many people say, I don't
care what you have to do. I don't care what
you have to do make these cities safer. I hear
that all the time. It's like people that never would
(05:40):
have been in favor of bringing in the national Guard before. Oh,
I hear it all the time. Now you probably do too,
Maybe your mind was changed. I don't care what the
hell they have to do, bringing the national Guard crack down.
Enough of this cities are overrun with crime. So symbolically,
like she said that, it starts in Washington, DC. You
know they're big on the symbolism. So you have to
start there, and then if this program works, you sent
(06:03):
it to the other cities and we make this country saver.
It has to happen. So we'll see, I don't know,
we'll see how it goes all right, this is an
unbelievable story that started last week, and then the details
started trickling in, and then the police cam video of
the rest came in, and then we found out how
many patients she had actually treated as a fake nurse.
I'm talking about this lady Flagler County in Florida. This
(06:26):
lady got arrested for treating over again, remember this, as
a fake nurse, over four thousand patients. Her name is
Autumn Bardisa, and she was arrested this past week. I
think it happened on Tuesday. She pretended to be a
registered nurse. Actually she treated four thousand, eight four thousand,
eight hundred and eighty six individuals at a local hospital
(06:48):
there in Flagler County, Florida. It's the timeline that gets
me July twenty three until she was fired on January
twenty second, and then they came back and arrested her. Now,
the look of you, when you do that, you're fired
for that. You have to figure you're gonna be arrested, right,
wouldn't you figure that they'd come after anybody that actually
did this to make an example of her. This is how,
(07:10):
this is how the arrest went down. This is when
the news went viral.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Hey, there are you, Autumn. Can you step out of
the car for me please? If they turned around.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
With your hands, let's oh, I don't understand what's going on.
You're gonna arrest me. It's a fake nurse, Okay. The
statement from the sheriff in flag La County, Florida, Rick Staley,
is this is one of the most disturbing cases of
medical fraud we've ever investigated. This leads us to this
and I don't have any numbers. I can't quantify this.
(07:43):
I have no idea. It's just a complete guesswork on
my part. But I'd be willing to guess this is
happening probably in every metro area in the country. Flagla
County isn't really that that populated. But still, if it's
happening there, you know what's happening everywhere else. Wouldn't you
be willing? Would it shock you if all of a
(08:04):
sudden they came out with some kind of a news
story tomorrow or today saying that they've arrested hundreds or
thousands of people pretending to be medical professionals, nurses assistance. God,
we know we've had stories of fake doctors out there before,
but there were few and far between. Would it shocked
you to find that out? What shocked me about this
(08:25):
story was some of the reaction from some people. It
was weird to me, just odd because I immediately went
to think about this as a patient. It was weird
how many comments I saw online of people saying, well,
you know, it's really expensive to become to become a nurse,
and you know, maybe she just couldn't afford that. And
there's a lot of sympathy for this lady, like way
more than I expected. I'm not going that far. I
(08:47):
have sympathy for the patient she treated. One point that
was made online was there's not a lot of complaints
about this lady, which is fascinating. Maybe she knew her stuff.
Maybe she actually was a good fake nurse. I don't know,
but she was a fake nurse. And that's the bottom line.
Here's my point of bringing it up again. It's a
good reminder, and here's the takeaway. Here's what you can
(09:09):
do about that, because it is scary, right when you
start to think about not only medical mistakes. Right, that's
always been a growing and very serious issue in our
medical system, and God knows. Our medical system and insurance
system is just a mess. But if it scares the
life out of you, don't feel bad about the fact
that there may be fake medical professionals out there, and
(09:30):
maybe maybe you've been treated by one. I don't know
who the heck knows. Again, I'm just going on guesswork.
My guess is this happens way more than you think.
It's okay, because here's what you can do. It's a
great reminder take a hold of this information and don't
It's a great reminder to feel good about being a
good consumer when it comes to medical advice and medical situations. Again,
(09:53):
I don't know what it is. I've never understood this.
I've never gotten it. How all of a sudden we
we get like complacent and afraid to talk to doctors
in medical situations. It's like you walk in those front
doors of a medical facility and all of a sudden
you're like powerless. You feel like you can't ask questions,
you can't advocate for yourself, you can't advocate for another bird.
(10:14):
I'm telling you that's a bunch of crap. Throw that
out the window. And this is what changed my mindset
on this years ago. When you start to think of doctors,
God love them. You know, there's a lot of great
most I would say a majority of doctors in the
country are just fantastic. They are, they do great work.
We need them, we love them. Egos, yeah, most of them.
But would you want a non confident doctor anyway? Look
(10:36):
at doctors as mechanics really seriously. I mean that, And
now it's not stupid at first, but think of it
from a consumer perspective, right, don't be intimidated any medical professional, nurse, assistant, doctor, surgeon,
don't be afraid to ask questions like you would of
like a car mechanic. Like if a car mechanic was
(10:58):
going to do a procedure on your car, you'd ask
all kind of questions, Right, what's necessary, what's not? What
are you going to do? What's the timeline, what's it
going to cost me? Why in the medical professional are
we afraid to ask questions? Not only that the lead
in here with our story of the fake nurse, why
can't you ask about the credentials of somebody? Like we
all walk in what's the typical doctor's office, even just
(11:20):
a wellness visit? What's the typical scene walk in there.
It's a cold, generic room. You talking to the doctor,
he doesn't really look at you, and they're just feeling
out a form and you look on the wall, just
like diplomas on there. Do you ever look at the
diploma and like really examine it or to see where
they went to school where the medical license is? No,
you just kind of assume it's there. How many of
(11:41):
those are fake? Truly? I mean, honestly, why can't you,
as a consumer ask the questions? You should always have
the right to ask right there in his face, the
doctor that's going to be treating you what his credentials are. Well,
he might be offended. I don't give a damn who
the hell cares is if he's offended or not. Ask
what they're credentials are, what they're gonna do, and advocate
(12:02):
for yourself. And this fake nurse story is a great
example of that. Well, she would have just said that
she went to nursing school or whatever. Okay, fine, But
if enough people ask, she would have been exposed a
lot sooner than this. The whole thing is a reminder
that you can't be intimidated as a patient. You have
to advocate for yourself and God forbid if you go
into don't ever go into any kind of a medical
procedure or a surgery alone where no one can advocate
(12:24):
for you. Find somebody, even if you don't have any family,
a neighbor, somebody to advocate for you, because you have
to with this medical system we have, and God knows
the insurance system. So you may be freaked out by
the fake nurse story. I certainly was, but it's okay.
It's a good reminder that you get it. You have
to ask questions. Think of the think of the mechanic example.
I'm telling you you think of them as mechanics, highly
(12:46):
specialized in train mechanics. Sure, but their body mechanics. You'll
start thinking of this situation a lot smarter and much
better as a consumer. All Right, we gotta go to
this story too. A lot more people than I had
expected disturbed by this, and that's okay too. UCLA the
University of California, Los Angeles, highly regarded, highly respected school.
(13:10):
Speaking of medical schools, UCLA medical Schools apparently amazing. Well, Well,
now did you happen to see the story of Jamie Hun?
A Chinese identifies herself. She has an IMDb because she's
an actress, Chinese American actress who got her degree and
communications she must be top of the class because she
(13:32):
was the one that gave a speech or one of
them that gave a speech at UCLA over the weekend
as she's graduating. Now, I can't edit out the F
bomb in this, and I don't think I would anyway.
I'm not saying that she is because it's actually part
of the story. But here's another part of the story.
And there's a lot of people outraged by this, and
I get it, a lot of consternation, and that's okay.
(13:55):
The reason why it's okay to be outraged by this
is the next time you feel sorry for colleges that
are losing admission numbers. And apparently this is another big
story across the country. College admissi numbers are down, especially
of foreign students, foreign born students. Funding's going away. They're
gonna have to fund themselves less taxpayer dollars because we
know what colleges have become, by and far in this country,
(14:18):
just propaganda machines. And they've also done some, especially with
the Columbia and Harvard stories. Just awful, awful examples of
what they've done to some of their Jewish students. We
know that much, right. Next time you want to feel
sorry for colleges, don't. And here's the example. I'll have
some audio here. But you people who are watching this,
there is a visual clue on this. Here's Jamie Honer
(14:41):
and her address where she's going to drop a couple
of F bombs here. Sorry about that, But if you
are watching on this, either on YouTube or an x
or on Facebook, you have to look at the faces
of the college administrators behind her, and the smugness and
the nodding of the head. And because this explains exactly
where your problem is, here's here's what got her all
(15:02):
the attention. Remember she as an actress, so maybe this
is all by design over the weekend Jamie Hahn as
a excuse my language, But to that, I say, fuck
Ice and the Trump administration. Sorry for the F bomb again.
(15:24):
Tried to give you a warning there. Now, you you
people who saw that, or you've seen the video on
your own, did you see the administrator nodding and the
one right behind him, to the right of him with
a smug smile on his face. Yes, yes, so proud
of our students, saying f ice and f the Trump administration.
And there's your problem. Now. I don't care that they
(15:47):
took shots at the Trump administration. I don't care that
they did this. I don't care what they ever. But
can you can you imagine what else she's saying, what
else she's doing? And if you ever want to start
to feel sorry for these colleges losing money, losing admission,
losing a lot of their taxpayer funded don't just remember
that visual image, not as so much of Jamie Hahn,
(16:08):
the girl who said it, but of the administrators behind her,
nodding and encouraging and clapping it on. And yes, if
that is that what we've become. Really, would it have
gotten is much traction if she had said something on
the other side or it didn't politicize it. No, absolutely not,
And that is something to keep in mind. By the way,
she is an actress with an IMDb, So maybe it
(16:30):
was all for our publicity. What better way to get
publicity these days than to say ice after Trump administry?
You know this, but remember the administrators because they're the
ones that encourage this. Just saying, don't feel sorry for
these colleges ever, because that's another cleanup. That's happening, all right?
We go from that zero to an absolute hero. Can
(16:52):
you imagine coming within minutes veering off course and dying
a horrible death into the vastness, vacuum of cold, empty space,
Because that's how close Jim Lovell was to dying, along
with Swaggert and Fred Hayes as well. But still, what
(17:17):
a hero. He went from that in nineteen seventy where
all we all know the story of Apollo thirteen, to
surviving that, becoming a hero with the space program and
the military and living to the year twenty twenty five
in all technological advancements. What an amazing life. And we
all know, of course the Apollo thirteen movie which made
his legend cemented in Stone Forever, But you're a little
(17:39):
piece of that movie that came out in late in
the late nineties. But we lost Jim Lovell at ninety
seven over the weekend. But really, you look at this, guess.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
All, between Jack's back Taxes and the Fred.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Hayes Show, I'd say that was a pretty successful broadcast.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Next show off, Thank you very much, Houston.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
We got a couple of housekeeping procedures.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
M Fourier.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We'd like you to roll right to zero six zero
and all your rights, Roger. The moments before, as we
all know the story now, the disaster happened, there was
something key in there too, and the Apollo thirteen movie
did such a good job of portraying this. There was
such boredom in the press conference from space he was
talking about like nobody saw. And remember this was only
(18:21):
Apollo thirteen, just a couple of missions after Apollo eleven
where the whole world was watching the moon landing, right,
a couple of years later, a year and a half later,
was it maybe just just a year? Nobody was interested anymore.
That's human nature, and that was like in nineteen seventy,
like we're the same now. If you think attention spans,
you know, are so bad now, it's always been that way.
(18:45):
Nobody had any interest in Apollo thirteen at the time
until the accident happened, and that was a worldwide story.
But we all know what happened, as they you know,
Jim Level, being the commander of that vessel, figured it out,
got him fixed up, got him home. A successful failure,
they called it, and he was the guy that actually
got it done and lived to ninety seven years old.
(19:08):
We lost that hero. But man, I tell you what amazing,
What an amazing accomplishment, and what an amazing life. But
this this too, you know, It's like sometimes this is
why we need Hollywood movies portraying this kind of stuff.
Would most of us know the story of Apollo thirteen
if that movie hadn't comeing out, probably not space nuts
(19:29):
historians people are interested in this stuff, would have known,
would have read about, would have seen something on the
History channel about Apollo thirteen, you know, every once in
a while. But the movie popularized it and brought it
to American culture. That's why even though we go all
upset and I love you as you know, making funnel Hollywood,
even though they are annoying sometimes and Tom Hanks can
(19:49):
be an absolute goofball, they brought that story to let life.
That's why this stuff is so important to culture, you know,
introducing more and more people to exactly what happened and
who the heroes are. Because Jim Lovell was always recognized
as a hero, especially so after Apollo thirteen came out.
So that's why movies and culture actually are important. That's
why we talk about him so much. One factoid, though,
(20:12):
I just happened to see about this. Then I didn't
catch till over the weekend. Tom Hanks had admitted, you know,
we all know the line, right, something goes wrong, we
all joke about it. Houston, we have a problem. I
guess that wasn't the correct line, so says Tom Hanks.
He admitted later he says, it's a minute deal detail,
but a detailed Houston, we've had a problem was actually
(20:33):
the actual line in the broadcast. HM misquote. It's all right,
wouldn't be the first time, Rip Jim Level. Thanks for
being a hero if thanks for finding me. I appreciate
you so much. Remember what's the biggest takeaway that whole
medical nurse story, that fake nurse story. US used that
as a reminder to be a consumer when it comes
to your medical affairs. It's really important. It really is. Again,
(20:55):
I can't back it up, but I would be willing
to guess. There's a lot of fake nurses up there,
but a lot of great ones too, so honor them
as well. Thanks for finding the live stream. Appreciate you
as always if you're watching there listening later on on
the replay press follow Always appreciate audio listeners, right now
press download so you know when the new episodes are
coming out as well. It's only Monday. We'll see what
that press conference is about too. Tomorrow we'll have all
(21:18):
kinds of things that talk about a lot of it
I already know is going to be about cleaning up crime. Now,
that's going to be a good thing. I think we'll see.
We'll find out together, make it a wicked awesome Monday.
We'll talk to you earlier
No more mister nice Trump, because he was so nice
before the criminals in DC. Right, there's a big press
conference we're expecting today about cracking down on crime in DC.
You and I we talked about this a lot last week.
It's coming. We knew what was coming that. I think
it starts today. It starts in the nation's capital. But
here's how it affects everybody. I think it's coming to
(00:29):
every city. Eventually, they're going to crack down on crime,
and they don't care about who opposes it. Now watch
out to see who opposes actually cracking down on crime.
He's a dictator. We'd told you he was good because
that's coming to well, we'll try to preview what's in
the press conference a little bit later on. Also, we
have an absolutely horrific UCLA student in her graduation speech
(00:50):
who and you're gonna have to excuse the language on
this one. I couldn't edit it out. It was just impossible.
And it's part of the story. Actually, But if you
feel bad and it's disturbed you, and there was a
lot of consternation about this story, this girl speech, it's
okay because you shouldn't feel sorry for these colleges when
they lose funding in the future and apparently college admissions
are down. They did this to themselves. That's what you
(01:10):
have to keep remembering. We have an unbelievable story out
of Florida, Flagler County specifically about a fake nurse who
got busted. And I don't have any numbers whatsoever to
prove this, but my theory is I would be willing
to bet you there are fake nurses and fake medical
professionals throughout the entire country. They happen to bust this lady.
Where do you hear how many patients she's treated in
the past though, And it's a good reminder, and here's
(01:32):
the takeaway for all of us to ask questions, become
good consumers again when you go into a medical facility.
And we'll wrap it up with from that loser to
an absolute winner and a hero we lost Jim Lovell. Yeah,
of course from Apollo thirteen to the movie, and a
lot of us learn about Jim Lovell and that story
through that movie. Who's ninety seven years old? What an
(01:54):
absolute complete hero that guy was. Anyway, a lot to
talk about. Exs for being here, Appreciate you always, Thanks
for finding the wicked Radio. I can talk Wicked Radio
livestream all part of Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams. Thanks
for being here on the audio podcast. If you're listening
later on or you're watching the live stream replay later
on and you already know what this press conference is
all about, well you're ahead of the game. But here

we go. This is the announcement that came out over

I wouldn't be surprised you'll know this later on because
maybe you're watching this or listening to it after the
press conference. Maybe Tom Homan, director of Vice will be there,
maybe Homeland Security people will be there. I don't know,
but this whole thing starts this is why it's so
(04:13):
important these stories that get out there big balls. Remember
the kid from doge about beaten to a pulp trying
to save his girlfriend, you know, is there about to
be carjacked, got beaten by ten to twelve thugs in
the street of Washington, DC. That was disturbing, but it
has an effect. When leadership is strong, it does. Those
stories matter. That's why people like you and me and
(04:35):
people in casual conversation were so outraged by it. The
Cincinnati couple, they were beaten close to death by a
mob of twenty people. These stories matter because we've reached
a point. You can feel it, you know it too,
just talking to your friends and family, or people at
work friends, you hear barroom conversations, or you overhear people
talking about it at restaurants. People have had enough. They've
(04:57):
just there is I don't think there's ever been so
much temperament for pushback against crime in this country. That's why. Now,
maybe maybe you don't even like Trump. I have no idea.
You don't like this administration. You like what they're doing
with deportation, I don't know, but one thing's undeniable. It
gets a pretty good sense of the pulse of the
nation of what's going on. This is part of the pushback.
(05:18):
This is where it starts. Whatever the hell they're going
to talk about with this press conference today, it's gonna
be about cracking down on crime. And I think they're
doing it. I think they're doing it now because they
have the support of the country behind them, Because I
I hear it myself. How many people say, I don't
care what you have to do. I don't care what
you have to do make these cities safer. I hear
that all the time. It's like people that never would
(05:40):
have been in favor of bringing in the national Guard before. Oh,
I hear it all the time. Now you probably do too,
Maybe your mind was changed. I don't care what the
hell they have to do, bringing the national Guard crack down.
Enough of this cities are overrun with crime. So symbolically,
like she said that, it starts in Washington, DC. You
know they're big on the symbolism. So you have to
start there, and then if this program works, you sent
(06:03):
it to the other cities and we make this country saver.
It has to happen. So we'll see, I don't know,
we'll see how it goes all right, this is an
unbelievable story that started last week, and then the details
started trickling in, and then the police cam video of
the rest came in, and then we found out how
many patients she had actually treated as a fake nurse.
I'm talking about this lady Flagler County in Florida. This
(06:26):
lady got arrested for treating over again, remember this, as
a fake nurse, over four thousand patients. Her name is
Autumn Bardisa, and she was arrested this past week. I
think it happened on Tuesday. She pretended to be a
registered nurse. Actually she treated four thousand, eight four thousand,
eight hundred and eighty six individuals at a local hospital
(06:48):
there in Flagler County, Florida. It's the timeline that gets
me July twenty three until she was fired on January
twenty second, and then they came back and arrested her. Now,
the look of you, when you do that, you're fired
for that. You have to figure you're gonna be arrested, right,
wouldn't you figure that they'd come after anybody that actually
did this to make an example of her. This is how,
(07:10):
this is how the arrest went down. This is when
the news went viral.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Hey, there are you, Autumn. Can you step out of
the car for me please? If they turned around.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
With your hands, let's oh, I don't understand what's going on.
You're gonna arrest me. It's a fake nurse, Okay. The
statement from the sheriff in flag La County, Florida, Rick Staley,
is this is one of the most disturbing cases of
medical fraud we've ever investigated. This leads us to this
and I don't have any numbers. I can't quantify this.
(07:43):
I have no idea. It's just a complete guesswork on
my part. But I'd be willing to guess this is
happening probably in every metro area in the country. Flagla
County isn't really that that populated. But still, if it's
happening there, you know what's happening everywhere else. Wouldn't you
be willing? Would it shock you if all of a
(08:04):
sudden they came out with some kind of a news
story tomorrow or today saying that they've arrested hundreds or
thousands of people pretending to be medical professionals, nurses assistance. God,
we know we've had stories of fake doctors out there before,
but there were few and far between. Would it shocked
you to find that out? What shocked me about this
(08:25):
story was some of the reaction from some people. It
was weird to me, just odd because I immediately went
to think about this as a patient. It was weird
how many comments I saw online of people saying, well,
you know, it's really expensive to become to become a nurse,
and you know, maybe she just couldn't afford that. And
there's a lot of sympathy for this lady, like way
more than I expected. I'm not going that far. I
(08:47):
have sympathy for the patient she treated. One point that
was made online was there's not a lot of complaints
about this lady, which is fascinating. Maybe she knew her stuff.
Maybe she actually was a good fake nurse. I don't know,
but she was a fake nurse. And that's the bottom line.
Here's my point of bringing it up again. It's a
good reminder, and here's the takeaway. Here's what you can
(09:09):
do about that, because it is scary, right when you
start to think about not only medical mistakes. Right, that's
always been a growing and very serious issue in our
medical system, and God knows. Our medical system and insurance
system is just a mess. But if it scares the
life out of you, don't feel bad about the fact
that there may be fake medical professionals out there, and
(09:30):
maybe maybe you've been treated by one. I don't know
who the heck knows. Again, I'm just going on guesswork.
My guess is this happens way more than you think.
It's okay, because here's what you can do. It's a
great reminder take a hold of this information and don't
It's a great reminder to feel good about being a
good consumer when it comes to medical advice and medical situations. Again,
(09:53):
I don't know what it is. I've never understood this.
I've never gotten it. How all of a sudden we
we get like complacent and afraid to talk to doctors
in medical situations. It's like you walk in those front
doors of a medical facility and all of a sudden
you're like powerless. You feel like you can't ask questions,
you can't advocate for yourself, you can't advocate for another bird.
(10:14):
I'm telling you that's a bunch of crap. Throw that
out the window. And this is what changed my mindset
on this years ago. When you start to think of doctors,
God love them. You know, there's a lot of great
most I would say a majority of doctors in the
country are just fantastic. They are, they do great work.
We need them, we love them. Egos, yeah, most of them.
But would you want a non confident doctor anyway? Look
(10:36):
at doctors as mechanics really seriously. I mean that, And
now it's not stupid at first, but think of it
from a consumer perspective, right, don't be intimidated any medical professional, nurse, assistant, doctor, surgeon,
don't be afraid to ask questions like you would of
like a car mechanic. Like if a car mechanic was
(10:58):
going to do a procedure on your car, you'd ask
all kind of questions, Right, what's necessary, what's not? What
are you going to do? What's the timeline, what's it
going to cost me? Why in the medical professional are
we afraid to ask questions? Not only that the lead
in here with our story of the fake nurse, why
can't you ask about the credentials of somebody? Like we
all walk in what's the typical doctor's office, even just
(11:20):
a wellness visit? What's the typical scene walk in there.
It's a cold, generic room. You talking to the doctor,
he doesn't really look at you, and they're just feeling
out a form and you look on the wall, just
like diplomas on there. Do you ever look at the
diploma and like really examine it or to see where
they went to school where the medical license is? No,
you just kind of assume it's there. How many of
(11:41):
those are fake? Truly? I mean, honestly, why can't you,
as a consumer ask the questions? You should always have
the right to ask right there in his face, the
doctor that's going to be treating you what his credentials are. Well,
he might be offended. I don't give a damn who
the hell cares is if he's offended or not. Ask
what they're credentials are, what they're gonna do, and advocate
(12:02):
for yourself. And this fake nurse story is a great
example of that. Well, she would have just said that
she went to nursing school or whatever. Okay, fine, But
if enough people ask, she would have been exposed a
lot sooner than this. The whole thing is a reminder
that you can't be intimidated as a patient. You have
to advocate for yourself and God forbid if you go
into don't ever go into any kind of a medical
procedure or a surgery alone where no one can advocate
(12:24):
for you. Find somebody, even if you don't have any family,
a neighbor, somebody to advocate for you, because you have
to with this medical system we have, and God knows
the insurance system. So you may be freaked out by
the fake nurse story. I certainly was, but it's okay.
It's a good reminder that you get it. You have
to ask questions. Think of the think of the mechanic example.
I'm telling you you think of them as mechanics, highly
(12:46):
specialized in train mechanics. Sure, but their body mechanics. You'll
start thinking of this situation a lot smarter and much
better as a consumer. All Right, we gotta go to
this story too. A lot more people than I had
expected disturbed by this, and that's okay too. UCLA the
University of California, Los Angeles, highly regarded, highly respected school.
(13:10):
Speaking of medical schools, UCLA medical Schools apparently amazing. Well, Well,
now did you happen to see the story of Jamie Hun?
A Chinese identifies herself. She has an IMDb because she's
an actress, Chinese American actress who got her degree and
communications she must be top of the class because she
(13:32):
was the one that gave a speech or one of
them that gave a speech at UCLA over the weekend
as she's graduating. Now, I can't edit out the F
bomb in this, and I don't think I would anyway.
I'm not saying that she is because it's actually part
of the story. But here's another part of the story.
And there's a lot of people outraged by this, and
I get it, a lot of consternation, and that's okay.
(13:55):
The reason why it's okay to be outraged by this
is the next time you feel sorry for colleges that
are losing admission numbers. And apparently this is another big
story across the country. College admissi numbers are down, especially
of foreign students, foreign born students. Funding's going away. They're
gonna have to fund themselves less taxpayer dollars because we
know what colleges have become, by and far in this country,
(14:18):
just propaganda machines. And they've also done some, especially with
the Columbia and Harvard stories. Just awful, awful examples of
what they've done to some of their Jewish students. We
know that much, right. Next time you want to feel
sorry for colleges, don't. And here's the example. I'll have
some audio here. But you people who are watching this,
there is a visual clue on this. Here's Jamie Honer
(14:41):
and her address where she's going to drop a couple
of F bombs here. Sorry about that, But if you
are watching on this, either on YouTube or an x
or on Facebook, you have to look at the faces
of the college administrators behind her, and the smugness and
the nodding of the head. And because this explains exactly
where your problem is, here's here's what got her all
(15:02):
the attention. Remember she as an actress, so maybe this
is all by design over the weekend Jamie Hahn as
a excuse my language, But to that, I say, fuck
Ice and the Trump administration. Sorry for the F bomb again.
(15:24):
Tried to give you a warning there. Now, you you
people who saw that, or you've seen the video on
your own, did you see the administrator nodding and the
one right behind him, to the right of him with
a smug smile on his face. Yes, yes, so proud
of our students, saying f ice and f the Trump administration.
And there's your problem. Now. I don't care that they
(15:47):
took shots at the Trump administration. I don't care that
they did this. I don't care what they ever. But
can you can you imagine what else she's saying, what
else she's doing? And if you ever want to start
to feel sorry for these colleges losing money, losing admission,
losing a lot of their taxpayer funded don't just remember
that visual image, not as so much of Jamie Hahn,
(16:08):
the girl who said it, but of the administrators behind her,
nodding and encouraging and clapping it on. And yes, if
that is that what we've become. Really, would it have
gotten is much traction if she had said something on
the other side or it didn't politicize it. No, absolutely not,
And that is something to keep in mind. By the way,
she is an actress with an IMDb, So maybe it
(16:30):
was all for our publicity. What better way to get
publicity these days than to say ice after Trump administry?
You know this, but remember the administrators because they're the
ones that encourage this. Just saying, don't feel sorry for
these colleges ever, because that's another cleanup. That's happening, all right?
We go from that zero to an absolute hero. Can
(16:52):
you imagine coming within minutes veering off course and dying
a horrible death into the vastness, vacuum of cold, empty space,
Because that's how close Jim Lovell was to dying, along
with Swaggert and Fred Hayes as well. But still, what
(17:17):
a hero. He went from that in nineteen seventy where
all we all know the story of Apollo thirteen, to
surviving that, becoming a hero with the space program and
the military and living to the year twenty twenty five
in all technological advancements. What an amazing life. And we
all know, of course the Apollo thirteen movie which made
his legend cemented in Stone Forever, But you're a little
(17:39):
piece of that movie that came out in late in
the late nineties. But we lost Jim Lovell at ninety
seven over the weekend. But really, you look at this, guess.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
All, between Jack's back Taxes and the Fred.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Hayes Show, I'd say that was a pretty successful broadcast.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Next show off, Thank you very much, Houston.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
We got a couple of housekeeping procedures.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
M Fourier.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We'd like you to roll right to zero six zero
and all your rights, Roger. The moments before, as we
all know the story now, the disaster happened, there was
something key in there too, and the Apollo thirteen movie
did such a good job of portraying this. There was
such boredom in the press conference from space he was
talking about like nobody saw. And remember this was only
(18:21):
Apollo thirteen, just a couple of missions after Apollo eleven
where the whole world was watching the moon landing, right,
a couple of years later, a year and a half later,
was it maybe just just a year? Nobody was interested anymore.
That's human nature, and that was like in nineteen seventy,
like we're the same now. If you think attention spans,
you know, are so bad now, it's always been that way.
(18:45):
Nobody had any interest in Apollo thirteen at the time
until the accident happened, and that was a worldwide story.
But we all know what happened, as they you know,
Jim Level, being the commander of that vessel, figured it out,
got him fixed up, got him home. A successful failure,
they called it, and he was the guy that actually
got it done and lived to ninety seven years old.
(19:08):
We lost that hero. But man, I tell you what amazing,
What an amazing accomplishment, and what an amazing life. But
this this too, you know, It's like sometimes this is
why we need Hollywood movies portraying this kind of stuff.
Would most of us know the story of Apollo thirteen
if that movie hadn't comeing out, probably not space nuts
(19:29):
historians people are interested in this stuff, would have known,
would have read about, would have seen something on the
History channel about Apollo thirteen, you know, every once in
a while. But the movie popularized it and brought it
to American culture. That's why even though we go all
upset and I love you as you know, making funnel Hollywood,
even though they are annoying sometimes and Tom Hanks can
(19:49):
be an absolute goofball, they brought that story to let life.
That's why this stuff is so important to culture, you know,
introducing more and more people to exactly what happened and
who the heroes are. Because Jim Lovell was always recognized
as a hero, especially so after Apollo thirteen came out.
So that's why movies and culture actually are important. That's
why we talk about him so much. One factoid, though,
(20:12):
I just happened to see about this. Then I didn't
catch till over the weekend. Tom Hanks had admitted, you know,
we all know the line, right, something goes wrong, we
all joke about it. Houston, we have a problem. I
guess that wasn't the correct line, so says Tom Hanks.
He admitted later he says, it's a minute deal detail,
but a detailed Houston, we've had a problem was actually
(20:33):
the actual line in the broadcast. HM misquote. It's all right,
wouldn't be the first time, Rip Jim Level. Thanks for
being a hero if thanks for finding me. I appreciate
you so much. Remember what's the biggest takeaway that whole
medical nurse story, that fake nurse story. US used that
as a reminder to be a consumer when it comes
to your medical affairs. It's really important. It really is. Again,
(20:55):
I can't back it up, but I would be willing
to guess. There's a lot of fake nurses up there,
but a lot of great ones too, so honor them
as well. Thanks for finding the live stream. Appreciate you
as always if you're watching there listening later on on
the replay press follow Always appreciate audio listeners, right now
press download so you know when the new episodes are
coming out as well. It's only Monday. We'll see what
that press conference is about too. Tomorrow we'll have all
(21:18):
kinds of things that talk about a lot of it
I already know is going to be about cleaning up crime. Now,
that's going to be a good thing. I think we'll see.
We'll find out together, make it a wicked awesome Monday.
We'll talk to you earlier
