Speaker 1 (00:05):
When the police chief in your city doesn't understand basic
concepts and phrases like oh, I don't know chain of command.
You don't have to dig too deep into the crime statistics.
You don't have to worry about that stuff for to
figure out what's going on in your city. You've got
a major problem. I didn't want to start talking about
the DC takeover, as they're all calling it again, but
(00:25):
this is unbelievable the reaction from the DC officials. Now.
The mayor there is being okay, She's like, okay, whatever,
help me out. I'll take credit for it. But you
have the FEDS come in and clean up my city,
which is a cesspool. Confirmed. But the police chief there, Wow,
holy crap. You've got a problem when you've got somebody
this dumb in charge of things. We'll talk about that
(00:46):
as well as the cover up crime not bad, it's
not bad. Never trust people who all of a sudden
start saying that things are completely safe when they never
talked about it before except when their city gets exposed.
We'll talk about that as well. It's not gonna be
all paulaitions, though, I promise you. We've also got the
most ungrateful plane passenger of all time. But you know
what's different about this one. Pilots and flight attendants are
(01:09):
calling out unruly passengers. Now I'm here for it. I
like it. Maybe that's the only thing that's gonna stop it.
I don't know who the heck knows. I know it's midweek,
and I know you're here, and I'm here. Let's get
to it. Let's start laughing about this nonsense and fear
out what we can do about it and make fun
of it. That's what Wicked Radio is all about. Thanks
for funning the live stream, and if you're watching or
listening later on the replay, press do me a favorite,
(01:30):
press following notifications on more of you are doing that
than they appreciate it. And the audio podcast listeners, if
you press download, you know when the new episodes are
coming out. So let's get to it, all right. This
was This was amazing. Like I said, I didn't come
into this with any plans. I kind of wanted to
get away from all the controversy, Oh, the authoritarian takeover
(01:50):
of Washington, DDC ey sending in the military, oh my god,
you know, and all that nonsense whatever. But they finally
started talking about real residence in DC. Finally, some news
are organizations started talking about people that are actually affected
by it, you know, not media talking heads and not
politicians who are sitting there telling you it's fine, everything's fine. Well,
you can hear gunshots in the back, yeah, because you
(02:12):
know the real deal. If you've paid any attention whatsoever
to any news story, you know exactly what's going on
with the city streets, and they're playing with the crime
numbers and they're trying to tell you it's not so bad,
all right, whatever. I wanted to get away from that
because it was such a controversial thing and a massive story,
the rare massive story that stayed in the headlines and
had legs all day long, and it'll continue because it's
(02:33):
a big move. You know, we haven't seen this too
often in our country. But I had to come back.
I had to come back into this one when I
saw this clip, and I bet you saw it too,
because it did go viral. As the kids say, I
didn't know too much about Washington, DC politics except Mayor Bowser,
Muriel Bowser, who so far as playing along, She's like
she's pretty cool about it. She's like, okay, you know whatever,
(02:55):
we'll take off. She's handling the press conferences, and she's
without going too far, as you know, blasting her own
city officials and the cops. And she's trying to say, okay,
we'll cooperate. You know, she's being okay with this. But
then they brought out, really on a national stage for
the first time, the Washington DC Police Chief, and I
want to say that again, the police chief for a
(03:17):
little press conference until they finally they finally had to
kind of like push her off to the side literally
when she came out with something this stupid. So it's
a little it's a little media scrum out there in
the streets because you've got to try to like show
the community that you know, things are safe, you can
still come to Washington, DC. It's okay, it's working out.
Here's here's the police chief when asked a very simple question,
(03:38):
and this took a completely different turn. Now the reporter
just goes, okay, well with you know, the federal takeover
as you're calling it, and you've got the National Guard
in the street, and the Park Service is going to
get some now additional help from the Feds. So who's
in charge? Really? Is it you? As the police chief, Like,
what's the chain of command here? Oh? And that's when
the wheels fell off. He threw a big phrase at her.
(04:01):
You want to talk about incompetent. Uh, this is when
you know you have a problem. Don't look at the
crime statistics, look at your police chief when she doesn't
understand it, basically.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
What the shame of command is?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well? Is it Pam Boondi speaking of the American work?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So at the executive order is clear?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Good?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Look at you? Look at that. You gotta pase in
the background. When she doesn't understand what's going on? Was that,
I'm gonna fade out of here? What is the chain
of command? What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Boy? If I heard that as a DC resident, I
would get the hell out of there, like pronto. Chaine
of command, Like it's one of those phrases that's in
the description chain of command, in other words, who's in
charge of you? Who's in charge of them? Who's in
charge of them? Who's what's the chain of command here? Uh?
What's that mean? Okay, there's your problem. That's that's when
(04:58):
you know you got a problem. I don't need to
rea too far into the crime statistics to know that
your city is lost. We talk about this crisis of
incompetence throughout the country. There's your example right there. Oh boy.
But anyway, at least the mayor is kind of like
playing along. She's like she's she's she's being a good mayre.
So far with that, I think, anyway, but who knows?
All right, Like I said, I didn't want to I
(05:20):
didn't want to spend too much time on the the
DC takeover, oh and the marches and the have you
noticed one thing though? This is amazing? So all the
media talking heads were out there as well, and a
lot of them live in Washington, d C. If they're
political reporters, and they go to their network studios that
live in DC, and they all felt the need yesterday
to come out and say that the city I live in,
(05:41):
it's not I'm not concerned. I don't have these concerns.
I've never felt safer in Washington, d C. I'm fine.
It's there's no crime on the street. Like this guy,
let's go to uh, Jimmy Neutron here on MSNBC telling
you that there's no problem. There are bigger concerns.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
There's no big, really important to be clear about what
is going on here, and a relatively small crime problem
is being used for specific authoritarian purposes that we know
and understand. So let's be clear about DC does have
a really one, really big crime problem, which was the
January sixth insurrection incited by the current president of the
(06:23):
United States, and his first act in coming back was
pardoning all the people who tried to overturn constitutional republic
order in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
When I go, okay, thanks, Jimmy Neutron, it's not the
shootings and the stabbings and the muggings and the carjackings
down the street. No, no, no, it was January sixth. That
was the problem. We lose. We lost our argument. So
let's bring it back to that again. January sixth. And
you didn't see this or hear this in the clip,
but you know what else you went on to say. Unbelievably,
Jimmy Neutron with the hair goes on to say, I'm
(06:55):
more concerned about a lack of policy for climate change
in DC. It's totally safe. You can't this. That may
infuriate you, but hopefully you can laugh at it, because
here's what it means. They lost the argument. That like,
no one believes them anymore. It was all day long.
I know you saw this. It was all day long.
It was all the media talking heads, even worse than
the DC politicians, even worse than the national stage, the
(07:18):
congressional Democrats coming out and telling you that it was okay.
It was the talking heads in mainstream media who live
in Washington, DC went out of the way to tell
you how safe it is, completely fine, totally fine. Right,
Like I'm sure from I'm sure he's walking past ten
am down dangerous streets in Washington, d C. I'm sure
(07:40):
that's really happening, right, I'm sure. No, it could couldn't
be the case that he gets out of his you know,
paid for by the network limo, walks to the sidework,
walk into the studio, and then when he's done with
his on air shift, gets out, gets back into the
same car and goes right back to his DC condo.
And these are the kind of people that are telling
you it's safe. They never talk to the actual residents,
(08:01):
you know, people who are in poorer communities in any
of these cities, who actually have to deal with this crap. No,
it's the talking heads telling you, no, I'm more concerned
about climate change than getting carjacked. Tell that to a
working poor person, how concerned they are about January sixth
or climate change. No, they're worried about making a paycheck
(08:22):
to pay their bills and not getting carjacked on the
way to going to their nine to five job. That's
what they're actually, that's what real people are worried about.
This is why, even though it's infuriating for these talking
heads to get on there all day long and to
tell you, no, this is not there's no there's no
crime problem in this in this city. There's no problem.
There's no problem at all, even though they're telling you
(08:43):
that no one is buying it. That's why they're trying
to sell it so hard, because I mean, really, are
you going to trust the people that all of a sudden,
out of nowhere are telling you how safe things are
when the administration in the White House dares to clean
up all of a sudden, that's a problem. I'm telling you.
It's the oldest example in the book. It's a lazy
(09:04):
go to. I know, you know everybody uses this, but
I swear to God it's true. Because they hate Trump
so much and they hate this administration. Like, literally, if
they had a cure for cancer and it came from them,
and they funded it, and they discovered it and there
was a ceremony in the White House lawn, they would
protest it. They are honest to god, they would Trump
(09:26):
Trump attacking cancer? Really, is this what we should go after?
Wasn't it really about January sixth? Shouldn't we worry about
climate change instead of cancer? Or they'd say, or you'd
see an article in the New York Times the benefits
of having cancer and recovering from it as opposed to
what the Trump administration did. I don't know. What's a
lazy argument. It really is, and everybody does it. But
(09:47):
the reason why we all go to it is it's
absolutely true. If they found a cure for cancer, would
you would have these same talking heads on MSNBC and
all the other networks protesting it? Just a fact, they
absolutely would. It's good, It's okay. It means they're losing
the argument because no one is buying their crap anymore.
If you have one brain cell working and two working
(10:09):
eyeballs and you know what's going on, and you've been
in any major big city at all, or you're just
watching the actual reports from what's going on in these cities.
Crime is out of control, and you know that despite
what Jimmy Neutron tells you they're on TV. No, it's
final more concerned about climate change. You'll get right, good,
you stay concerned. Sure, pell right, I'm sure it really
(10:30):
affects you. You're the demographic. All right. I didn't want
to talk about politics or politicians this much, but I
got to talk about this one. I have a question
for you, and if you, if you have an idea
why this is happening so much, please inform me in
the comments or whatever you want to do. Who was
it that told a lot of the Democrats specifically, well,
(10:51):
it's a good idea to swear so much, just like
hot like this is my working theory because they all
do it now a lot. My working theory is is
some consultant somewhere, you know, they have these political consultants
and they tell on what to do, and they tell
him how to how to act and what the talking
points should be. And that's why they all say the
(11:12):
same thing in the same order all the time. You
know the game. But there's some strategist, some political operative
that got all of the hopeful politicians from the Democratic
side in a room at once, and they all said,
you know what, you know what you gotta do. You
know what, you know what you gotta do. You gotta
talk tough, and you gotta swear more. So this is
(11:35):
why this comes across as so inauthentic specifically, and they're
all doing it, but specifically, nobody's swearing more than Beta
or excuse me, Beta or Rourke. And he's doing it incessantly,
night after night, appearance after appearance. Now he's all worked
about the redistricting thing in Texas, but every time he
(11:58):
gets in front of a microphone or honest age, the
guy swears. Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those
aren't the rules. There are no reps in this game.
The rules. We are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Hey hey, hey, Beta, hold on here, this is a
family program. What are you doing? But it's true, Sorry
about the F bomb, but he said it not me
all the time, And it's so inauthentic, first of all,
in two reasons, because you know that it's all planned
and it's all stage and he and he only hears
another takeaway. He only swears when like the crowd's getting
into it, and he's all excited and and somebody like it.
He's always waving his arms like it looks like one
(12:30):
of those inflatable things outside of a car a used
car dealership. It's so inauthentic. And here's the other reason
why he didn't come up with it, because they're all
doing it now. All of a sudden, whenever they start
saying the same thing and doing the same things, talking
about the same talking points and the same actions all
at once, some consultant somewhere came up with it. So
it all comes across his phony. Besides the fact that,
(12:51):
let's admit it, when you got a really like, really
whimpy kind of dude like Beto O'Rourke saying it, it's
just it doesn't work now. To be fair, let's be
adults in the room here. If you don't like this
kind of thing, I'm sorry. It's out of the bottle
and it's not coming back. Politicians running for anything going
on in stage, they swear now, and they swear a lot.
(13:13):
You may not like this. This is the God's honest
truth because it's not going back. It's here forever. You
know who started this? Trump did he did. He started
swearing on state he dropped There was a couple of
he says bs a lot of times he has. In
the fact, I've seen it in person. He's dropped a
couple of half bombs on stage. It's happened. So the
Democrats got a hold of that, and some Democratic consultant
(13:35):
he said, Yeah, that's what you gotta do. Yeah, you
gotta swear more. They gotta show you how tough you are.
You know, do that, Beto, even though you're about ninety
five pounds and you couldn't bench press a feather, but
you know, you swear more and come across as the
tough guys show him how tough you are. Yeah, here's
the difference. It works for Trump because he happens to
(13:56):
be a billionaire that sounds like he's right off the
streets because he wasn't. He's dealt with teamsters and construction
bosses in Manhattan as a builder. He actually has the
credibility and when he swears, it sounds authentic. Beto, does
it not so much? Doesn't Really it's authentic. But if
you don't like this, we got to look in the mirror.
(14:19):
It's the way it is it's not going back in
the it's not going back now. You're not gonna you're
not gonna have a You're not gonna have some sort
of a public decency push now for politicians running for office.
If you don't like that and you happen to vote
for Trump, he did it. It's just true. But a
lot of us liked that. They liked it because they
saw that he was speaking like one of us. Right,
(14:41):
as you've had a conversation with your friends, here's the problem.
They're gonna start doing it too. So it is what
it is. But tell the difference, look for the authenticity
and who's actually using f bombs on stage and Who's
not easy to tell what you once you find out
where it's coming from. All Right, I gonna wrap it
up with this because I'm tired of talking about politicians.
(15:02):
I want to talk about once again. Every couple of weeks,
we have an amazing airline story. Don't know why. It's
the industry. We all know as consumers we get treated
like crap. You get crammed onto a plane. They're charging
you through the wazoo. They can't sol flights left and right.
We've all been through it, right, and I think that's
a big reason why you see and hear about a
lot of fights on planes, arguments, people getting tossed on planes,
(15:26):
the guy who was vaping in the bathroom. We had
that story last week for you. It seems as though
the airline employees are pushing back a little bit though.
This is amazing. This is I don't have any video
for you, it's only audio, but it's proof. This is
an Air France flight. They had to make an emergency landing.
And here's what they had to do. They had to
emergency land because they were saving a lady's life. She
(15:49):
had some kind of medical emergency and she had to,
you know, get some emergency help. The pilot asked for help,
you know when they always say it's like the old
thing in movies, is there a doctor on board? Well,
they helped her and they had to head for an
airport in Newfoundland, Canada. Okay, Now, the audio you're gonna
(16:10):
hear here is coming from passengers who recorded the thing,
because there's not much video other than the reaction here.
So you'll hear the pilot first of all calling for
medical help, and then you'll hear the update at the
end where they say, good news is we've saved her life.
It's all okay. Unfortunately we're gonna have to land in Newfoundland.
The passenger, the same one whose life they saved in
(16:31):
a medical emergency situation, decides to flip off the crew
when they're departing. We saved your life, and you give
us the middle finger. Talk about swearing, talk about I'm grateful.
But here's the cool thing. They called her out on it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Ladies, jam this is your gift of speaking. One of
our passenger leads some medical care. We asked for a doctor,
nobody was on board, so we are now diverting to
Saint John and a Newfoundland, Canada. Then we will have
to offload this passenger to the hospital at part one
says you'r Gentain speaking. You'll be happy to learn. But
our passenger, which we saved her life, she was agree
(17:13):
to be offloaded through precraft, and she gave us a figure.
When leaves precraft, she's.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
On a stretcher and has enough strength to give them
the flipping the bird when they're getting off. Oh my god.
But again, here's the cool thing, and I am here
for it. If you have flight attendants and pilots and
I don't know gay agent personnel whoever, who is ready
to call out on ruly passengers. I'm all for it absolutely,
because you know what, as a fellow passenger, I can
(17:41):
do it too. Then talk about ungrateful, I guess you
really didn't get on low wanted to be in Newfoundland, Canada. Huh.
We saved her life and then she decided to flip
us the bird on the way out of the plane.
Good good for you, pilot and calling her out. All right,
I'm out of here, I'm on of material. Go have
yourself a Winnesday, a wicked awesome Wednesday, and I will
catch up with you tomorrow. But in the meantime, if

a major problem. I didn't want to start talking about

charge of them? Who's what's the chain of command here? Uh?
What's that mean? Okay, there's your problem. That's that's when
(04:58):
you know you got a problem. I don't need to
rea too far into the crime statistics to know that
your city is lost. We talk about this crisis of
incompetence throughout the country. There's your example right there. Oh boy.
But anyway, at least the mayor is kind of like
playing along. She's like she's she's she's being a good mayre.
So far with that, I think, anyway, but who knows?
All right, Like I said, I didn't want to I
(05:20):
didn't want to spend too much time on the the
DC takeover, oh and the marches and the have you
noticed one thing though? This is amazing? So all the
media talking heads were out there as well, and a
lot of them live in Washington, d C. If they're
political reporters, and they go to their network studios that
live in DC, and they all felt the need yesterday
to come out and say that the city I live in,
(05:41):
it's not I'm not concerned. I don't have these concerns.
I've never felt safer in Washington, d C. I'm fine.
It's there's no crime on the street. Like this guy,
let's go to uh, Jimmy Neutron here on MSNBC telling
you that there's no problem. There are bigger concerns.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
There's no big, really important to be clear about what
is going on here, and a relatively small crime problem
is being used for specific authoritarian purposes that we know
and understand. So let's be clear about DC does have
a really one, really big crime problem, which was the
January sixth insurrection incited by the current president of the
(06:23):
United States, and his first act in coming back was
pardoning all the people who tried to overturn constitutional republic
order in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
When I go, okay, thanks, Jimmy Neutron, it's not the
shootings and the stabbings and the muggings and the carjackings
down the street. No, no, no, it was January sixth. That
was the problem. We lose. We lost our argument. So
let's bring it back to that again. January sixth. And
you didn't see this or hear this in the clip,
but you know what else you went on to say. Unbelievably,
Jimmy Neutron with the hair goes on to say, I'm
(06:55):
more concerned about a lack of policy for climate change
in DC. It's totally safe. You can't this. That may
infuriate you, but hopefully you can laugh at it, because
here's what it means. They lost the argument. That like,
no one believes them anymore. It was all day long.
I know you saw this. It was all day long.
It was all the media talking heads, even worse than
the DC politicians, even worse than the national stage, the
(07:18):
congressional Democrats coming out and telling you that it was okay.
It was the talking heads in mainstream media who live
in Washington, DC went out of the way to tell
you how safe it is, completely fine, totally fine. Right,
Like I'm sure from I'm sure he's walking past ten
am down dangerous streets in Washington, d C. I'm sure
(07:40):
that's really happening, right, I'm sure. No, it could couldn't
be the case that he gets out of his you know,
paid for by the network limo, walks to the sidework,
walk into the studio, and then when he's done with
his on air shift, gets out, gets back into the
same car and goes right back to his DC condo.
And these are the kind of people that are telling
you it's safe. They never talk to the actual residents,
(08:01):
you know, people who are in poorer communities in any
of these cities, who actually have to deal with this crap. No,
it's the talking heads telling you, no, I'm more concerned
about climate change than getting carjacked. Tell that to a
working poor person, how concerned they are about January sixth
or climate change. No, they're worried about making a paycheck
(08:22):
to pay their bills and not getting carjacked on the
way to going to their nine to five job. That's
what they're actually, that's what real people are worried about.
This is why, even though it's infuriating for these talking
heads to get on there all day long and to
tell you, no, this is not there's no there's no
crime problem in this in this city. There's no problem.
There's no problem at all, even though they're telling you
(08:43):
that no one is buying it. That's why they're trying
to sell it so hard, because I mean, really, are
you going to trust the people that all of a sudden,
out of nowhere are telling you how safe things are
when the administration in the White House dares to clean
up all of a sudden, that's a problem. I'm telling you.
It's the oldest example in the book. It's a lazy
(09:04):
go to. I know, you know everybody uses this, but
I swear to God it's true. Because they hate Trump
so much and they hate this administration. Like, literally, if
they had a cure for cancer and it came from them,
and they funded it, and they discovered it and there
was a ceremony in the White House lawn, they would
protest it. They are honest to god, they would Trump
(09:26):
Trump attacking cancer? Really, is this what we should go after?
Wasn't it really about January sixth? Shouldn't we worry about
climate change instead of cancer? Or they'd say, or you'd
see an article in the New York Times the benefits
of having cancer and recovering from it as opposed to
what the Trump administration did. I don't know. What's a
lazy argument. It really is, and everybody does it. But
(09:47):
the reason why we all go to it is it's
absolutely true. If they found a cure for cancer, would
you would have these same talking heads on MSNBC and
all the other networks protesting it? Just a fact, they
absolutely would. It's good, It's okay. It means they're losing
the argument because no one is buying their crap anymore.
If you have one brain cell working and two working
(10:09):
eyeballs and you know what's going on, and you've been
in any major big city at all, or you're just
watching the actual reports from what's going on in these cities.
Crime is out of control, and you know that despite
what Jimmy Neutron tells you they're on TV. No, it's
final more concerned about climate change. You'll get right, good,
you stay concerned. Sure, pell right, I'm sure it really
(10:30):
affects you. You're the demographic. All right. I didn't want
to talk about politics or politicians this much, but I
got to talk about this one. I have a question
for you, and if you, if you have an idea
why this is happening so much, please inform me in
the comments or whatever you want to do. Who was
it that told a lot of the Democrats specifically, well,
(10:51):
it's a good idea to swear so much, just like
hot like this is my working theory because they all
do it now a lot. My working theory is is
some consultant somewhere, you know, they have these political consultants
and they tell on what to do, and they tell
him how to how to act and what the talking
points should be. And that's why they all say the
(11:12):
same thing in the same order all the time. You
know the game. But there's some strategist, some political operative
that got all of the hopeful politicians from the Democratic
side in a room at once, and they all said,
you know what, you know what you gotta do. You
know what, you know what you gotta do. You gotta
talk tough, and you gotta swear more. So this is
(11:35):
why this comes across as so inauthentic specifically, and they're
all doing it, but specifically, nobody's swearing more than Beta
or excuse me, Beta or Rourke. And he's doing it incessantly,
night after night, appearance after appearance. Now he's all worked
about the redistricting thing in Texas, but every time he
(11:58):
gets in front of a microphone or honest age, the
guy swears. Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those
aren't the rules. There are no reps in this game.
The rules. We are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Hey hey, hey, Beta, hold on here, this is a
family program. What are you doing? But it's true, Sorry
about the F bomb, but he said it not me
all the time, And it's so inauthentic, first of all,
in two reasons, because you know that it's all planned
and it's all stage and he and he only hears
another takeaway. He only swears when like the crowd's getting
into it, and he's all excited and and somebody like it.
He's always waving his arms like it looks like one
(12:30):
of those inflatable things outside of a car a used
car dealership. It's so inauthentic. And here's the other reason
why he didn't come up with it, because they're all
doing it now. All of a sudden, whenever they start
saying the same thing and doing the same things, talking
about the same talking points and the same actions all
at once, some consultant somewhere came up with it. So
it all comes across his phony. Besides the fact that,
(12:51):
let's admit it, when you got a really like, really
whimpy kind of dude like Beto O'Rourke saying it, it's
just it doesn't work now. To be fair, let's be
adults in the room here. If you don't like this
kind of thing, I'm sorry. It's out of the bottle
and it's not coming back. Politicians running for anything going
on in stage, they swear now, and they swear a lot.
(13:13):
You may not like this. This is the God's honest
truth because it's not going back. It's here forever. You
know who started this? Trump did he did. He started
swearing on state he dropped There was a couple of
he says bs a lot of times he has. In
the fact, I've seen it in person. He's dropped a
couple of half bombs on stage. It's happened. So the
Democrats got a hold of that, and some Democratic consultant
(13:35):
he said, Yeah, that's what you gotta do. Yeah, you
gotta swear more. They gotta show you how tough you are.
You know, do that, Beto, even though you're about ninety
five pounds and you couldn't bench press a feather, but
you know, you swear more and come across as the
tough guys show him how tough you are. Yeah, here's
the difference. It works for Trump because he happens to
(13:56):
be a billionaire that sounds like he's right off the
streets because he wasn't. He's dealt with teamsters and construction
bosses in Manhattan as a builder. He actually has the
credibility and when he swears, it sounds authentic. Beto, does
it not so much? Doesn't Really it's authentic. But if
you don't like this, we got to look in the mirror.
(14:19):
It's the way it is it's not going back in
the it's not going back now. You're not gonna you're
not gonna have a You're not gonna have some sort
of a public decency push now for politicians running for office.
If you don't like that and you happen to vote
for Trump, he did it. It's just true. But a
lot of us liked that. They liked it because they
saw that he was speaking like one of us. Right,
(14:41):
as you've had a conversation with your friends, here's the problem.
They're gonna start doing it too. So it is what
it is. But tell the difference, look for the authenticity
and who's actually using f bombs on stage and Who's
not easy to tell what you once you find out
where it's coming from. All Right, I gonna wrap it
up with this because I'm tired of talking about politicians.
(15:02):
I want to talk about once again. Every couple of weeks,
we have an amazing airline story. Don't know why. It's
the industry. We all know as consumers we get treated
like crap. You get crammed onto a plane. They're charging
you through the wazoo. They can't sol flights left and right.
We've all been through it, right, and I think that's
a big reason why you see and hear about a
lot of fights on planes, arguments, people getting tossed on planes,
(15:26):
the guy who was vaping in the bathroom. We had
that story last week for you. It seems as though
the airline employees are pushing back a little bit though.
This is amazing. This is I don't have any video
for you, it's only audio, but it's proof. This is
an Air France flight. They had to make an emergency landing.
And here's what they had to do. They had to
emergency land because they were saving a lady's life. She
(15:49):
had some kind of medical emergency and she had to,
you know, get some emergency help. The pilot asked for help,
you know when they always say it's like the old
thing in movies, is there a doctor on board? Well,
they helped her and they had to head for an
airport in Newfoundland, Canada. Okay, Now, the audio you're gonna
(16:10):
hear here is coming from passengers who recorded the thing,
because there's not much video other than the reaction here.
So you'll hear the pilot first of all calling for
medical help, and then you'll hear the update at the
end where they say, good news is we've saved her life.
It's all okay. Unfortunately we're gonna have to land in Newfoundland.
The passenger, the same one whose life they saved in
(16:31):
a medical emergency situation, decides to flip off the crew
when they're departing. We saved your life, and you give
us the middle finger. Talk about swearing, talk about I'm grateful.
But here's the cool thing. They called her out on it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Ladies, jam this is your gift of speaking. One of
our passenger leads some medical care. We asked for a doctor,
nobody was on board, so we are now diverting to
Saint John and a Newfoundland, Canada. Then we will have
to offload this passenger to the hospital at part one
says you'r Gentain speaking. You'll be happy to learn. But
our passenger, which we saved her life, she was agree
(17:13):
to be offloaded through precraft, and she gave us a figure.
When leaves precraft, she's.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
On a stretcher and has enough strength to give them
the flipping the bird when they're getting off. Oh my god.
But again, here's the cool thing, and I am here
for it. If you have flight attendants and pilots and
I don't know gay agent personnel whoever, who is ready
to call out on ruly passengers. I'm all for it absolutely,
because you know what, as a fellow passenger, I can
(17:41):
do it too. Then talk about ungrateful, I guess you
really didn't get on low wanted to be in Newfoundland, Canada. Huh.
We saved her life and then she decided to flip
us the bird on the way out of the plane.
Good good for you, pilot and calling her out. All right,
I'm out of here, I'm on of material. Go have
yourself a Winnesday, a wicked awesome Wednesday, and I will
catch up with you tomorrow. But in the meantime, if
