Wicked Radio 2-24: The Joy Is Gone, Trump's Maine Event, & Elon's Emails · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: So much happened over the weekend. We're at Monday already.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I hope it was a joyful, joyous weekend. You know
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: who didn't have one of those joy read from MSNBC.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It's never nice to like wish, you know, ill will
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: on somebody else, especially their career. But this one, this one,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we can all agree. This should be one of those
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: unifying moments for the nation. We should all be happy
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that Joy Reid is gone from MSNBC. The joy is gone. Now.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We knew that was gonna happen at one point because
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: MSNBC has just been struggling, but to look into how
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: far that whole network, not just her show, has fallen recently,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: really since since the election, that was like the turning point.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It really was like like all of their viewers that
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: were remaining just finally gave up. They gave up the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: ghost and they said, I can't even listen to this anymore.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: They were holding out hope that Trump wouldn't win, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we did. Now they're just hiding or protesting or something.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But it's this one really feels like this is truly
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the end for crazy crazy media. It
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: really does like a really big turning point and it
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. We'll get into that in a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: little bit. A little Pope update for you coming up
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: here in a second too. It's not too good, but
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I was thinking way too much about this guy over
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the weekend and how to feel about it because the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Vatican is actually asking for prayers and kind of like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: when we said on Friday, uh oh, that's never good.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Talk about that as well. Trump's epic takedown of the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: main governor. That was something I want to see more
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of that, not for the confrontation. I just want to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: see it in the open like it was. And that's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: another benefit to having Trump there. You want to talk
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: about transparency the people that he's actually pushing back against,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you know, governors and prosecutors in this country, attorney's general.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I want to see that in the public or we
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: got a view of that over the weekend as well.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And Elon's emails they're actually doge emails, but in a way,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I guess we can call him performance reviews for these
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: federal employees. Don't buy the story that's out there that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: all all of the federal employees are just dreading this
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and they hate it and they're panicking, and some of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the mainstream media stories has been they're having to leave
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: their homes. Okay, that's not everybody, because they're trust me,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: there are plenty of federal employees that are welcoming doze
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and a chance to show what they do with open arms.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It's finally their chance. And really that's how we should
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all look at this kind of stuff. All right, let's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: get to it, though, nuts and bolts. First, let's get
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: through some business. Thanks for finding Wicked Radio always the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: live stream here on x and on YouTube and on Facebook,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and you audio listeners were live every single day and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you can find the audio podcast right after we go live,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: right after the show wherever you like to get your podcasts.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And that's really grown a lot. I didn't think that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was gonna grow so much, the audio portion of it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It's the power of the podcast, I guess. I don't know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but thanks for growing it. Appreciate you so very much.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to this. The Joy is gone.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That headline was just too easy. Joy Reid fired over
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Started long time ago, actually, but she's gone
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: from MSNBC her show, what was the name of it,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the readout. I think that was the actual name of it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But anyway, you know Joy Reid, don't you. I'm sure
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you don't watch a lot of MSNBC except for the comedy.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you this, honest to God, hand
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to my heart. I'm going to miss that portion of MSNBC.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I really mean it because once you see through and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I talk about this a lot, just you know, being
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: involved in really studying media for so long, once you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: see through the propaganda and the lies, it becomes comedy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It really does. I mean, you look at anything like
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Morning Joe on MSNBC. When you start to see that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: as like a comedy show, it's some of the best
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: television that's ever been made. It really is. But some
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of it goes too far. Now here's Joy Reid doing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a little side video now and I guess, oh, I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. I guess the takeaway is being a sexist
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and a racist, and she is a homophobe with those
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: those those earlier emails that got exposed from her personal blog.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I guess that doesn't play too much anymore even at MSNBC.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Here's Joy read here's a little sampling of what she's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: like in America.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: There's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: particularly male white tears, really white tears in general, because
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that's what Karen's are, right, they care now and then
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a sousa get CODs creeding waterworks. White men can get
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: away with that too.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That's her. I don't know where she's going from here,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: but she'll find some sort of a landing place in
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: lefty media, you know, because a lot of people that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: love that. I guess, I don't know. That's it's It's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the oldest line in the world. Is to try to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: reverse it and do the thing like you always do
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the thing. Like imagine somebody on Fox getting away and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: saying that, you know, taking her words, but the exact opposite,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you know, black tears and saying that it's the same
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: old story we all know. But she got away with
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it for this long to the tune of because now
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: all the stories are coming out to the tune of,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: she was making three million bucks a year for oh boy,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many I don't know how many
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: years she was at MSNBC, but that's what it was.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So she did well. And looking into this too, the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: story is since November fifth, and that's the exact turning point,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and that was the election they looked back from November fifth,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that was the turning point where our entire show fell
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: off the cliff. I knew it was down because I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: saw and heard a lot of the stories about a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: lot of people who were watching MSNBC. They just couldn't anymore.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: They just couldn't. They were holding out hope. They were
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the loonies, not the Scene and M viewers, the MSNBC viewers,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the loonies that were just still holding out hope that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Trump was not going to get elected, and he did,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and then they just sent them over the edge so
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they couldn't even watch anything. Maybe they're just like in hiding.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But since novel number fifth that turning point,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: she lost fifty three percent of her ratings. A fifty
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: three percent dramatic drop from one specific turning point. That's unbelievable.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That's more than just a media thing. That's a societal thing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: That's like the few people that were left watching that thing,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they're they're like, they need help, seriously, they need some mentally.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know where they go now. I don't know
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: what they're doing now. Maybe they're the people out protesting
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: at a public park somewhere. You see him, and they
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: have the Dose songs, you know, the anti Elon and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the anti Trump songs. I don't know, but it you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: can look at the exact point where she lost fifty
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: three percent of her ratings and they're all publishing it
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: November fifth after that. That's unbelievable. So she's gone because
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: there's a difference. Now there's the joy Reads of the world, right,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and there's the CNN people. And I've always thought this,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and I think it's bearing out to be true. CNN people,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, like the Jake Tappers and Anderson Cooper's and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: those kinds of people, right, they kind of know the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: crap that they're spewing. They know the difference, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and they you catch them in an honest moment, they'll
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: admit that half the crap they're saying is just not true,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and they know that that's different than the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: MSNBC hosts like her, Like she was, like she truly
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: like that little clip I played about, you know, this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: racist rant about white men and tears, like she really
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: believed that. Like that's the difference. That was the difference
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: between MSNBC is where they put the lefty crazies who
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: were like truly mentally ill. CNN is kind of like
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: CNN is kind of like they're just professional play. Think
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of them as actors. That's what they are. Because CNN
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: has enough intelligent people to know better. MSNBC has lunatics.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: That's where they are. That was kind of like the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: difference there what MSNBC turns into because this is a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: big turning point. I don't know who the heck knows
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: what it's gonna be, but it really does feel like
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's a turning point for fake news. It does. It
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: feels like that was the big that was the biggest
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: chip to fall so far, and it maybe, I don't know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we'll find out. All right, here's what else happened over
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the weekend. And this was amazing, And I'm surprised that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: actually a lot of people online, a lot of conservatives
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Trump supporters, they were saying, oh no, don't, oh, don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: get into fights with Democrat governors in public, you know, don't,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: don't be confrontational. And I heard that criticism. I said,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: well why, you know, why not. You don't have to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: get into a shouting match. And it wasn't, I don't think,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: but instead of back room arguments and negotiations, put it
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: out in the public like this. And this was a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: this was a white House, you know meeting. We invited
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the governors and there was the luncheon afterwards, and Trump
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was speaking, and Trump starts talking about getting men out
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of women's sports, which has amazing and incredible amount of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: support poll after poll in this country. Right, So it's happening,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and the NCAA is complying. That's a great thing. That's awesome,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that's happening. Maine is one of those states, he pointed
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: out directly, that's pushing back against that governor of Maine.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you heard. This was actually in the room
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: at the time. I love this kind of transparency. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: love this kind of honesty. But you want to talk
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: about a takedown, how'd you like to be heard today?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Because you didn't have a leg to stand on. But
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it's long, but this is how the whole thing went down.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You probably saw the clip, but now listen to it
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a little closer. It's amazing.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: But I understand Maine is the Maine. Here the governor
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: of Maine.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's here.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Are you not going to comply with it? Well, we
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: are the federal law. Well you better do it. You
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: better do it because you're not going to get any
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: federal funding at all if you don't. And by the way,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, alo I did
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: very well there. Your population doesn't want men playing in
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: women's sports. So you better you better comply because otherwise
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: you're not getting any any federal funding. Every state. Good,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I'll see, and could I look forward to that. That
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: should be a really easy one and enjoy your life
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: That was the hammer at the end. That was the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: final hammer there. And this is going to surprise you.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: But just from her perspective, now, I completely disagree with
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that women should not compete in men's sports. I'm sorry,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it just shouldn't happen. And like I said, most of
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the polls in this country completely agree with that sentiment
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that it's not right, it's not fair, it's not right,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it's not it's terrible. I mean, women fought feminists. Where
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: are the feminists fighting against this? Women fought for equality
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in women's sports and get Title nine passed four It
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: took decades, and now this all of a sudden, Where
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: are they the people that fought to get this done?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Why did they back Are they that afraid? Why did
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they back down? But that said, I do have to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: say this because I always pay attention to how people
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: handle situations. If you have to just pretend for a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: second you're the governor of Maine and you're in that situation,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you're at this luncheon, you're in the back of the room,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and you get called out personally by the President. You know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I disagree with everything she is and what she says,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but pretty good line to say, they're for your constituents,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for the people that actually did vote for you back
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in your home state. To say, good I'll see in court.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Pretty good. I mean, I don't know what else she's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: gonna say. She's gonna lose that battle for sure. But then,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of course Trump just dropped the hammer on her this
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: kind of thing though, And this is why I say,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that a lot of people are pushing back
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: against this. Oh no, see that's bad Trump. See he
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: shouldn't he shouldn't confront governors like that, and it's disrespectful.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Forget about the disrespect aspect of it. How about for
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you and me and everybody else trying to get information
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: on this. We all ask for transparency. Let's be honest,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: we all did. We wanted transparency, no backroom deals. We
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to see how these things go directly, right. You
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: can't get any more direct than that. I want these
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: discussions to happen out out in the public, so I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: totally fine with it. Fine, and if she gets embarrassed
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: at a luncheon, fine, so be it. But these kinds
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of issues need to be talked about, and they did,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and I would bet now what we have to watch
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: for is to see what the people have made, how
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they push back on this or the rest of the country.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know, main population wisened in a very big state.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Did you ever hear or know who the governor of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Mayine was before? I never thought about her, But she's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: on She's on the bulletin board now, and so so
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is that issue of men playing in women's sports, because
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: new poles will come out this week and it'll be
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: even more support for getting men out of women's sports.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: After this happened. And the result of that is because
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Trump took that fight publicly, that clip is been reposted everywhere.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It has not millions, tens of millions of views. So
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? More people are aware of the issue.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: That's what it means. All right, Little We'll get to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: some more fun stuff here in a second, but it's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a quick update here because we talked about a lot
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: about it on Friday. So keep an eye in this
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: pope situation because if you read the tea leaves out
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of the Vatican, you know, they always try to say
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that he's doing okay, and he's fine, and he's this
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and that, and then it's well when they come out
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: with a statement like please pray for the Holy Father,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the condition has worsened, and then you see that kind
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of stuff and you go, oh, oh, I think sooner
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: rather than we're going to be going through conclave with
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the Vatican, you know, where they try to find the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: new pope and you look for the white smoke of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the black smoke of the smoking between I don't know whatever,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to be going through that because
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: this guy probably is going to be not around much longer.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And you have kind of a conundrum with this thing
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: because I think I've told you many times before because
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I was raised Catholics, so I'm like one of those
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: recovering Catholics, right. It's like the I love the spirituality
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: part of it. The political organization that is the church,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: uh uh, ain't me. There's a lot of it I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: disagree with and still do. And this Pope directly, especially
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: when it comes to America's immigration policy. He has over
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the past two three years, has been very vocal about
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: saying that America should not have borders. Yeah, I know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this is a guy that literally lives behind a wall
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: with the Vatican. I have zero interest in listening to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the Pope or anybody else that's not a resident of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: this country. I don't care who you are talking about
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: our border situation. That's our business. And just the fact
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that even said that is offensive to me as an
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: American because you're putting really what you're advocating for is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: putting our way of life in danger. That's what it did.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: That's why I have no I have no interest whatsoever
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in any policy that this Pope has. None And there's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: still a lot of policies within the Catholic Church that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I rail against. That said, this whole thing is a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: pretty good example of how you can you know that phrase,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: hate the game not the player, or hate the player
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: not the game. It's kind of one of those situations.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So as the Vatican sends out a request for all
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: of humanity to pray for the Holy Father, even though
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you may not like the guy, it's a good example
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: how you can separate the two. Right, So I kind
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of personally, I kind of landed on this as of yesterday.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'll pray for the Padre. I'll pray for the Pope
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: as a person. I can do that while still at
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the same time, I'll throw a couple of prayers in
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: there for a change at the Vatican leadership, maybe without
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: him dying. Is that fair? Is that a fair balance?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Can I pray for him as a human being to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: feel better, and yet pray for the Catholic Church, which
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is very powerful, to feel better because their policies are awful,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: absolutely awful, but it's an incredibly important organization for millions,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: tens of millions of people around the world. So I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: hope he gets better. I'll pray for you, Padre, but
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: stop talking about our politics please, And I hope the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: next pope, whoever that's gonna be, and that's good boy.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Is that going to be interesting to see who the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: next pope is going to be and with these changing times,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: with a push to make Western civilization civilization stronger again,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to see if the pope falls in line with that,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating to see. I don't know. All right,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: let's wrap up with this Elon's emails. I say it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that way just because it's catchy, or I think it's catchy, whatever,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: it's kind of goofy. But really what it is are
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: these emails that went out from DOZE, Department of Government
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Efficiency to all federal employees at every single level. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: what they are so Dose employees this is actually part
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of the story started to leak these out. What's actually
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in it? I would love to see. I would love
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to see what one of these emails goes to to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: everybody that has a federal email account, and it simply
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: says this. The subject line is what did you do
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: last week as a business owner? I love this. It
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: comes from HR. Please reply to this email with approximately
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: five bullets of what you accomplished last week and c
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: see your manager and then of course the nuts and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: bolts of it. Please do not send any classified information,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: info or attachments. Deadline is Monday. Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Elon's response to this so far and what he's gotten
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: so far is a large number of good responses have
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: been received already. These are the people who should be
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: considered for a promotion. And that's what got me thinking,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: probably it's a good chance that all of us, all
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of you guys listening watching it, we've all gone through
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: performance review at some point in your career. Right. It's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: just even if you're a business owner, everybody's got a boss, right,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you have to answer to an investor, other partners, somebody else,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: sometimes the government, somebody else. Everybody has a boss you
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: have to answer to. Even going through decades of a
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: corporate environment like I have. I will tell you this,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and please don't take this as being oh, you're an
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: ass kiss her, what a boot licker, or whatever this is.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I will guarantee you I've looked forward to any and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: all performance reviews I've ever had. Mine was a little
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: bit different, coming from the radio world, because you're literally
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: rated every single day, every minute of every single day,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you know, with a rating system, so that's a little
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: bit different. But an actual performance review to get down
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and explain and to be able to justify and to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: promote what you do every single day. You should love
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: this and don't buy this hype that all federal employees
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: are dreading this, because you know who's dreading it, only
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the useless ones. Let me ask you this, I will
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: guarantee you, all of you, everybody, all of us have
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: been stuck at some point in time behind some useless
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: middle manager. And it doesn't matter what field you're in.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Somebody that just their job is to keep you where
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you are without advancing, and somehow it's up to them
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to explain to the superiors of this organization wherever you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: are what you do, and you don't get the chance
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to do it yourself, and nobody really understands your value.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: That's when you look forward to a performance review. Let
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. I will guarantee it. There are
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a ton of federal employees that are loving this because
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: those who are good at what they do you relish.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: You salivate at the chance to explain what you do
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and to get through and be on and push aside
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a useless middle manager and get to the decision makers.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: You love this and it's a great lesson for all.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Number one, don't buy this hype of the fil room
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: employees are fearing this because they're not the ones that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: are good, that are working. They're gonna they're gonna shine
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: through this. The useless fat in the middle that needs
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to be filayed away. Oh yeah, they're probably or at
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the top. Oh yeah, they're probably afraid of this, absolutely
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: because they've probably done nothing for you for their whole career,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: have done nothing. Those are the ones who fear this
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. Those who are good, you relish the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: chance to show how good you are. You absolutely love it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So take this as a lesson all of us should
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: no matter what you do, no matter what you own,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: where you work, what your what your organization is, or
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: what your business is or your career, always accept the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: challenge for a performance review. Oh you, I get a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: chance to explain how good I am. Oh, sit me down,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: let me write it up, let me talk to you personally. Absolutely,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: this is awesome and this is this is where doze
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: is so good as the cream is going to rise
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to the top. I absolutely love this. You watch that's
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. All right, I'm out of material, you're saying,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: thank god, talking too much for a Monday. But the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: audio podcast is going to be available in just a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes wherever you prefer to get those, whatever
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: platform gets posted just past nine am Eastern time. And
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: for you audio listeners, we're live here on x and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Facebook and YouTube every single day. Who what a weekend?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: The heck knows what's going to happen today. Hopefully it's
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: good stuff and it probably will be number one takeaway
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and the most important of all, somebody wants to give
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you a performance review. Oh yeah, welcome that with open arms,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: because you can show them how awesome you are. And
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the second thing is, I'm taking any crap from anybody,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: especially middle managers, that said I'll have a wicked awesome Monday,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I'll talk get him wrong.
