Wicked Radio 9-16: Follower Feedback: "My Co-Worker Is Celebrating The Shooting' · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear that old expression. It's kind of
0:06
Speaker 1: like a I guess it's like a public speaking thing.
0:08
Speaker 1: If you're explaining, you're losing. Well guess who found himself
0:12
Speaker 1: in the explaining mode today. But this all, but the
0:14
Speaker 1: good thing is this all kind of generated from listener feedback,
0:17
Speaker 1: follower feedback, I should say, and I love that. I
0:19
Speaker 1: welcome your comments all the time, and I don't get
0:22
Speaker 1: to them enough. I don't know, I get all wrapped
0:24
Speaker 1: up in what I want to say and not enough
0:25
Speaker 1: about what you guys are thinking. So I'm trying to
0:28
Speaker 1: change that, and this is a perfect opportunity to do it.
0:31
Speaker 1: So yesterday you might recall here it wasn't the entire
0:34
Speaker 1: thing I think effect and I entitled yesterday's podcast people
0:38
Speaker 1: want to talk, so open up the conversation, right. I
0:42
Speaker 1: did not do a good enough job in explaining my take,
0:45
Speaker 1: apparently because I think a lot of you and most
0:48
Speaker 1: of it, and they're all kind of like combine all
0:51
Speaker 1: the comments of one all kind of like paraphrase. Most
0:54
Speaker 1: of the comments revolved around this, Hey, you said last
0:57
Speaker 1: week that it's over. You can't talk to the crazies
1:00
Speaker 1: that are celebrating the horrific tragedies of last week, what
1:03
Speaker 1: happened to Charlie Kirk and and you're right, you're exactly
1:06
Speaker 1: right about that. What I should have explained better. What
1:09
Speaker 1: I meant to say was open up the conversation with
1:12
Speaker 1: normal people, other people like you and not really me,
1:16
Speaker 1: but people like you who want to talk about this stuff,
1:19
Speaker 1: because everybody wants to talk now and speak out against
1:23
Speaker 1: this political, violentce stuff. So I'm not talking about unifying
1:26
Speaker 1: with the crazies people who celebrated this kind of stuff.
1:28
Speaker 1: But speaking of that led to another. There was only
1:31
Speaker 1: one comment on this, and this one came from actually
1:34
Speaker 1: the Facebook platform. Somebody reached out to me and this
1:37
Speaker 1: was a direct message. And again I won don't give
1:39
Speaker 1: away a name or anything. I won't do that to you,
1:41
Speaker 1: but she said she has a coworker who went online
1:47
Speaker 1: and in the workplace is still celebrating the shooting. And
1:52
Speaker 1: you know it's a massive story now when it even
1:54
Speaker 1: has a title the shooting, and everybody knows what you're
1:56
Speaker 1: talking about. The story is that big. Some comments on
1:59
Speaker 1: that I would like to give you as well. So
2:01
Speaker 1: with all that said, thanks for finding me again with
2:03
Speaker 1: the Wicked Radio Live stream and podcast from a very
2:07
Speaker 1: shaky cruise ship internet connection. But I think we got
2:10
Speaker 1: it figured out now, at least a little bit way
2:12
Speaker 1: less late on the live stream than yesterday. So you know,
2:15
Speaker 1: I think I was only like three minutes late this time.
2:17
Speaker 1: It was fifteen yesterday. In my world, I call that progress.
2:20
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but Okay, So somewhere off
2:23
Speaker 1: the coast of Portland, Maine, right about now, on a
2:26
Speaker 1: cruise ship, I'll show you the water, but the sun
2:28
Speaker 1: is like blasting anyway. Enough of that stuff, let's get
2:31
Speaker 1: right to it. Yeah, Just to clarify, yesterday I was
2:35
Speaker 1: talking about reaching out and communicating with I'm not one
2:38
Speaker 1: of those people. In fact, I wrote a long post
2:42
Speaker 1: on X last week about this the very day when
2:45
Speaker 1: it happened to Charlie Kirk the very day, about the
2:47
Speaker 1: talk is over. You know, the talk is over with
2:50
Speaker 1: the people who want to celebrate this stuff and we
2:51
Speaker 1: advocate violence, and people still out there who are celebrating
2:54
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. No, I'm done with that. That's
2:56
Speaker 1: not what I was talking about yesterday and did not
2:58
Speaker 1: explain it well enough at all. I'm talking about other
3:00
Speaker 1: people like you who are aware of stuff, but you
3:03
Speaker 1: want to know about talk to other people about what's happening.
3:06
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to try to change anybody's opinion.
3:08
Speaker 1: But that's all good stuff, not the crazies out there.
3:11
Speaker 1: Because I'll stand by this one. I don't think there
3:13
Speaker 1: is any unity with those people. In fact, funny enough,
3:17
Speaker 1: our vice president JD Vance co hosted I think it
3:21
Speaker 1: was the main chair in the Charlie Kirk podcast yesterday
3:25
Speaker 1: and he pretty much said the same thing. All Right,
3:27
Speaker 1: there's talking and everybody wants to unify, for sure, but
3:31
Speaker 1: we've reached a point now where there's no unifying with
3:34
Speaker 1: the insane people that are actually happy and celebrating a
3:38
Speaker 1: dad's person of influence and have family man who happened
3:43
Speaker 1: to disagree with you. Anybody who celebrates the end of
3:46
Speaker 1: that guy, you can't unite or unify with them. Here's
3:49
Speaker 1: what Jade Vance said yesterday. Fill it in for Charlie Kirk.
3:51
Speaker 2: There is no unity with people who scream at children
3:55
Speaker 2: over their parents' politics. There is no unity with someone
3:58
Speaker 2: who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to
4:01
Speaker 2: excuse his murder. There is no unity with someone who
4:04
Speaker 2: harasses an innocent family the day after the father of
4:08
Speaker 2: that family lost a dear friend. There is no unity
4:12
Speaker 2: with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination, and there
4:16
Speaker 2: is no unity with the people who fund these articles,
4:19
Speaker 2: who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers, who argue
4:23
Speaker 2: that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father, deserved a
4:27
Speaker 2: shot to the neck because he spoke words with which
4:31
Speaker 2: they disagree.
4:34
Speaker 1: Well, that was interesting. And by the way, just side note,
4:37
Speaker 1: I like him like that. You may not like JD. Evans.
4:39
Speaker 1: My job is not to try to tell you who
4:40
Speaker 1: to vote for whatever, but I kind of like him
4:43
Speaker 1: in that role. You know, he was like all worked up,
4:45
Speaker 1: obviously passionate about it. He was a friend of Charlie Kirk.
4:47
Speaker 1: But I could see that happening in the administration, you know,
4:51
Speaker 1: kind of making him the bad cop in this kind
4:54
Speaker 1: of stuff. Pretty interesting, But the res there's another side note.
4:57
Speaker 1: The response to him doing the show yesterday was so
4:59
Speaker 1: over emblingly positive. I honestly could see Trump saying, all right, JD,
5:03
Speaker 1: get the hell out of the chair. I'm now the
5:05
Speaker 1: permanent ghost of the Shirley Kirk Show. Can you mentione
5:09
Speaker 1: Trump doing that? Anyway, So that's his reaction. Obviously worked
5:13
Speaker 1: up about that, and I think most of us agree.
5:15
Speaker 1: So maybe it's just time to what I didn't do
5:17
Speaker 1: yesterday well at all, Maybe it's time to draw that line.
5:22
Speaker 1: Conversation is great. Open up the conversation. I think that's
5:24
Speaker 1: the positive part about this. Open up the conversation about Man,
5:28
Speaker 1: you believe like this kind of thing happened, but the
5:31
Speaker 1: crazy people who celebrated this and continued to do so,
5:35
Speaker 1: which is incredible to me that that's still happening. That's
5:39
Speaker 1: a different story. We're talking about something different there. He's
5:42
Speaker 1: right about that. You can't unify with that. You can't.
5:45
Speaker 1: You can't just done with those people. And by the way,
5:48
Speaker 1: it's fascinating there are whole websites set up now to
5:52
Speaker 1: the number of let's call him the crazies for simplicity,
5:57
Speaker 1: who have gone online and have celebrat that, and now
6:01
Speaker 1: we're facing the pushback. There are websites that are keeping
6:04
Speaker 1: a running tallly of the number of peoples, lawyers, healthcare professionals,
6:12
Speaker 1: even sadly some first responders, people in the military, even
6:15
Speaker 1: the amount that's just the real shocking part, the amount
6:18
Speaker 1: of people who are going online and celebrating that. That's
6:21
Speaker 1: why I say it's important to talk to your fellow Americans,
6:24
Speaker 1: patriotic Americans about this stuff to help them walk through
6:26
Speaker 1: the craziness too. That's what I mean by that. But
6:30
Speaker 1: as I predicted last week, and I'm not good with predictions,
6:33
Speaker 1: as you know, but I thought there would be thousands
6:36
Speaker 1: of those people fired now and it even surpassed what
6:39
Speaker 1: I thought there was, Like, it's into the many thousands
6:42
Speaker 1: of people who got fired for saying horrific things. Now
6:46
Speaker 1: the aftermath of that is amazing because you've got those
6:48
Speaker 1: same people now making like follow up videos if they
6:51
Speaker 1: didn't scrub their social media or crying to their employ
6:54
Speaker 1: their former employees saying I thought I had free speech,
7:00
Speaker 1: like free speech. Oh that's interesting. But here's what you
7:02
Speaker 1: and I and most patriotic Americans understand about free speech.
7:06
Speaker 1: We've always understood it come Yeah, you have a right
7:08
Speaker 1: to say that, of course you do, but it always
7:11
Speaker 1: comes with consequences. We've always understood that. And yeah, you
7:16
Speaker 1: have a right to free speech. Your employer has a
7:19
Speaker 1: right to get rid of you if you're a lunatic
7:22
Speaker 1: in the organization, and they didn't know it until you
7:24
Speaker 1: started celebrating somebody's murder, because to me, it's to me,
7:28
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a safety crisis. You think
7:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have somebody in my organization that was doing
7:35
Speaker 1: a I don't know, some kind of stupid TikTok dance
7:38
Speaker 1: and celebrating, saying horrific things, celebrating the murder of somebody
7:42
Speaker 1: you disagreed with politically, because just personal opinion and my
7:46
Speaker 1: personal take, I'm getting rid of somebody like that too.
7:49
Speaker 1: They're not going to be in my organization, So that's
7:52
Speaker 1: just my take. They really truly don't they're horrified that
7:57
Speaker 1: they're getting pushedback on this. This is another post that
8:00
Speaker 1: got some reaction that I put on an X last
8:02
Speaker 1: week over the weekend. Actually, I said, I think they're
8:06
Speaker 1: horrified because they truly didn't know they'd get any pushback
8:08
Speaker 1: for saying horrible things. I think that's the case, Like
8:11
Speaker 1: they didn't think they would ever get fired, that they
8:13
Speaker 1: would ever get, you know, some pushback in their own
8:16
Speaker 1: comment section because they've run the narrative in this little
8:19
Speaker 1: safe space for so long. Remember in college campuses a
8:22
Speaker 1: few years ago, like ten years ago, they started with
8:25
Speaker 1: the safe spaces where you could do what you want.
8:27
Speaker 1: You feel too stressed out. Here's what it really was.
8:30
Speaker 1: You had a safe space to say, think, do any
8:33
Speaker 1: act any way you wanted to without any repercussions. Well,
8:36
Speaker 1: now they're out in the real world, which, as you know,
8:39
Speaker 1: there's a lot of repercussions. So they're facing that in
8:44
Speaker 1: large numbers for the very first time, and they don't
8:46
Speaker 1: know how to handle it. Thousands, thousands of lunatics have
8:50
Speaker 1: gotten fired by their companies, and you can't blame the
8:53
Speaker 1: companies for firing them, or agencies or organizations. You can't
8:57
Speaker 1: have somebody that celebrates murder in your workplace. You can't.
9:01
Speaker 1: You can't. I wouldn't, can you know? But here's the thing,
9:05
Speaker 1: And this leads us to the feedback from from a follower.
9:11
Speaker 1: And I can't, Like I said, I can't. I don't
9:14
Speaker 1: want to out anybody or use a real name unless
9:16
Speaker 1: you want me to. But I want to do this
9:18
Speaker 1: more about this stuff. And this is way too get
9:20
Speaker 1: comments all the time and I don't respond to them enough,
9:22
Speaker 1: and I want to be able to do that. So
9:23
Speaker 1: from here on, I'm going to Well here was the end.
9:26
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, but here is the situation. Okay, and
9:30
Speaker 1: again you can even comment on this with your thoughts.
9:32
Speaker 1: Something that I didn't think of. She said, she as
9:36
Speaker 1: a coworker that not only went online when it happened
9:41
Speaker 1: because I guess she's like Facebook friends with her or something,
9:43
Speaker 1: but also in the office where they work. I don't
9:46
Speaker 1: know what field it is. She didn't provide that information
9:49
Speaker 1: in the office in front of clients as well. Is
9:53
Speaker 1: celebrating this stuff like it like it, like it's going on,
9:57
Speaker 1: and she feels powerless. This is the key word that
10:00
Speaker 1: actually perked up my ears, got my attention. She feels
10:02
Speaker 1: powerless about the situation because she's not the hiring manager
10:05
Speaker 1: and she's not the owner. She's not the boss, she's
10:08
Speaker 1: not the person that is in charge in other words,
10:09
Speaker 1: of getting that coworker fired. They responded this way, And
10:13
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you what I said. First of all,
10:15
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna say, You're never powerless ever.
10:20
Speaker 1: In fact, now, because we were talking about last week,
10:24
Speaker 1: everything's changed. This narrative that we were just talking about
10:28
Speaker 1: has completely flipped. I'd go so far as to say
10:31
Speaker 1: you have all the power now because let me tell
10:34
Speaker 1: you something. No one is going to get you in
10:37
Speaker 1: trouble for pushing back against one of the lunatic crazy
10:40
Speaker 1: people out there celebrating a murder. No one is. You're
10:42
Speaker 1: not going to get fired for that. For pushing back
10:45
Speaker 1: against the lunatics, you would have every civil rights and
10:48
Speaker 1: free speech organization in the world just waiting to give
10:51
Speaker 1: you legal representation. They would love to and plus you'd
10:54
Speaker 1: get the support of the gent You'd get the support
10:56
Speaker 1: of the entire country if that ever happened. So I
10:59
Speaker 1: wouldn't worry about that. But not only that, I think
11:03
Speaker 1: you're well within your rights now, even if you've never
11:05
Speaker 1: done it before. Somebody that hates confrontations, somebody that whatever,
11:08
Speaker 1: I think you have a responsibility to push back against that.
11:10
Speaker 3: Now.
11:10
Speaker 1: It's part of what I was talking about about speaking
11:12
Speaker 1: out with your fellow normal people. You're out there talking
11:16
Speaker 1: about this aftermath of this massive story, right, walk them
11:19
Speaker 1: through it too, help them through it too. But the
11:21
Speaker 1: pushback for somebody like that, a co worker celebrating this
11:25
Speaker 1: in the office and still doing it. A couple of
11:29
Speaker 1: ways you can approach this. Ay, it's the first way,
11:33
Speaker 1: you know, which is probably what this person is going
11:34
Speaker 1: to do probably what you would do, because you're a
11:36
Speaker 1: nice person. I just I don't know you, but I
11:38
Speaker 1: know you are. If you're listening right now, say hey,
11:41
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it that if you just keep that
11:44
Speaker 1: personal opinion to yourself right in front. In fact, we
11:48
Speaker 1: have clients, we have customers, whatever your situation is here,
11:51
Speaker 1: and they don't need to hear that. I don't think
11:52
Speaker 1: it's I think I think you have a responsibility to
11:54
Speaker 1: say that now. And like I said, you've got all
11:57
Speaker 1: the support in the world now to say that, even
11:59
Speaker 1: if you were before. That's your first option. Here's your
12:03
Speaker 1: second option. You could always say, I mean, this is
12:06
Speaker 1: what I would do. But you're a nicer person than
12:08
Speaker 1: I am. You can always say if you want to, hey, asshole,
12:15
Speaker 1: how about not celebrating a murder here in the office.
12:19
Speaker 1: Why don't you keep that personal opinion to yourself? Now?
12:23
Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna take that option, And I don't
12:26
Speaker 1: want I don't want to tell you which which option
12:28
Speaker 1: to take, but you have many ways you could say that. Personally,
12:33
Speaker 1: I'm a little different than you. I get a little
12:35
Speaker 1: worked up. I would take the second option. That's me,
12:38
Speaker 1: that's not you. But the takeaway is the bottom line
12:41
Speaker 1: is you have every right in the world now, and
12:43
Speaker 1: you have all the power to speak up and push
12:45
Speaker 1: back against this. Just look what's happening. Look what's happening
12:47
Speaker 1: now with these companies. I'm telling you it's true. I mean,
12:50
Speaker 1: there was a There is a certified website with a
12:53
Speaker 1: tallly of official firings for people or of companies that
12:57
Speaker 1: are getting rid of these lunatics who celebrated. Think of
13:00
Speaker 1: how sick that is. And now they're freaking out. Here's
13:04
Speaker 1: MSNBC yesterday. What they bring on it. They bring on
13:08
Speaker 1: one of their economic experts. He's now they're freaking out
13:11
Speaker 1: because people are actually getting fired over this and they
13:13
Speaker 1: think it's some kind of a political pushback. Of course
13:15
Speaker 1: they don't see it in the real world. They see
13:16
Speaker 1: it as politics somehow. And he likens it. Listen to
13:19
Speaker 1: this guy. I don't know his name, I don't care.
13:20
Speaker 1: He likens it too well. How different this is after
13:23
Speaker 1: the pushback after January sixth, they he actually made this comparison.
13:27
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
13:27
Speaker 3: I think that this push for mass firings could become
13:31
Speaker 3: quite significant, and it already already is. I mean compared
13:34
Speaker 3: to the aftermath of January sixth, this does seem to
13:37
Speaker 3: be turning into a very aggressive attempt to purge not
13:42
Speaker 3: just you know, government officials or in the hext of example,
13:45
Speaker 3: in the Defense Department, but also specifically people who work
13:48
Speaker 3: in education, who work in healthcare, who work in government.
13:52
Speaker 3: Those are the fields that a lot of these right
13:54
Speaker 3: wing figures.
13:55
Speaker 1: You couldn't find anybody on television more clueless than that guy.
13:58
Speaker 1: That's how they that's how they always related to They
14:00
Speaker 1: always bring it to politics. It can't help themselves. Well,
14:03
Speaker 1: let's say it's an organized effort to purge these fields
14:06
Speaker 1: of No, it's an individual effort from these companies and
14:10
Speaker 1: organizations to get rid of lunatics in their ranks that
14:13
Speaker 1: they didn't know where. It's so crazy and evil. Who
14:15
Speaker 1: celebrated a murder, That's what's happening. It's no organized purge
14:18
Speaker 1: of this. And yeah, a lot of them happen to be,
14:22
Speaker 1: at least in my observation, educators, teachers, healthcare workers. Sadly,
14:27
Speaker 1: that's scary, and I'll say it again. If I was
14:31
Speaker 1: in charge of a healthcare organization, I found out a
14:33
Speaker 1: bunch of nurses or doctors were celebrating a murder. Do
14:36
Speaker 1: I want them treating patients? No, I absolutely will not.
14:43
Speaker 1: But they don't get that. They don't get that, but
14:46
Speaker 1: everybody else does. And that's what's happening and still is happening.
14:50
Speaker 1: That's the other thing too. It's like when I was saying,
14:52
Speaker 1: you have all the power now to not be afraid
14:55
Speaker 1: to speak up against this kind of stuff. These companies
14:57
Speaker 1: don't either. I mean major corporations. You saw the office
15:00
Speaker 1: depot thing, You've seen major other organizations, you know, even
15:04
Speaker 1: smaller companies, small businesses not afraid to do this because
15:10
Speaker 1: everybody is standing up against this now. And if there's
15:12
Speaker 1: any good takeaway, that's what it is. This is the
15:15
Speaker 1: age and a dawn of common sense. Not with the lunatics.
15:18
Speaker 1: And you got them on both sides. You get extremists
15:20
Speaker 1: on both sides. I'm talking about everybody else than ninety
15:23
Speaker 1: percent in the middle. It's a dawning of common sense
15:26
Speaker 1: with this. So I'll leave it with that. First of all,
15:29
Speaker 1: thanks for your feedback. I love it. I want to
15:30
Speaker 1: get to that more. I want to promise it won't
15:32
Speaker 1: ignore your comments. I just get all worked up on
15:34
Speaker 1: what I want to say. But I want to hear
15:35
Speaker 1: more about what you say, So any of these platforms,
15:37
Speaker 1: just reach out to me, put it in the comment section.
15:40
Speaker 1: But I'll leave you with that, especially for that very
15:42
