Wicked Radio 11-10: Fili-Busted: Shutdown Over, NFL Trump, & Target's Awesome Jolly Plan · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:03
Speaker 1: Villa busted shut down over well, I.
0:07
Speaker 2: Mean almost, and then they have to do a procedural vote,
0:09
Speaker 2: and then all these swamp monsters have to get up
0:11
Speaker 2: there and make their statements and like pretend like they
0:13
Speaker 2: care the whole time and run for reelection and get
0:16
Speaker 2: some camera FaceTime.
0:17
Speaker 1: Whatever. It's over.
0:19
Speaker 2: So the one takeaway in the question we all as
0:21
Speaker 2: Americans have to ask ourselves is what was that all about?
0:26
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what it's all about. Nothing, absolutely nothing.
0:31
Speaker 2: This could have ended close to sixty days ago, for
0:34
Speaker 2: God's sakes, because this was all about well, it was
0:37
Speaker 2: about something political power, and it's all about illegal immigration.
0:41
Speaker 1: You knew that from the start. You know it now.
0:43
Speaker 2: It was just confirmed, but they gotta lie to you
0:45
Speaker 2: all week long and tell you it wasn't.
0:46
Speaker 1: But that's okay, you know better. Happy back from the weekend.
0:51
Speaker 1: I hope you made it through.
0:52
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for finding me in the Wicked Radio live
0:53
Speaker 2: stream and podcast all channels including your favorite audio platforms
0:58
Speaker 2: like follow, share, you know the deal.
1:00
Speaker 1: We're also going to talk about NFL Trump.
1:03
Speaker 2: So President Trump, as you might have seen, probably saw
1:06
Speaker 2: the video by now, he was at the Lions commander's game.
1:09
Speaker 2: On Sunday in Washington, DC. And at halftime he swore
1:13
Speaker 2: in some new recruits to our military service and he
1:17
Speaker 2: got booed resoundingly by the crowd, which was interesting. But
1:22
Speaker 2: then he did something even more interesting. He hung out
1:24
Speaker 2: and he talked to the broadcast crew. And oh, the
1:26
Speaker 2: reaction to that, Oh my god. I will tell you
1:29
Speaker 2: nobody was more upset about that than local yokel sports
1:33
Speaker 2: writers and commentators throughout the country, all the different markets,
1:36
Speaker 2: because I follow a lot of them. If you think
1:40
Speaker 2: the news media is bad, I will tell you where
1:43
Speaker 2: woke still exists. It's in sports news media. They were
1:47
Speaker 2: so upset about this. And once and here's my favorite
1:49
Speaker 2: story of the day. We'll wrap up today with I love.
1:53
Speaker 2: I love this Target story because, as we all know,
1:56
Speaker 2: we're in the holiday season now, it's Christmas season. If
1:59
Speaker 2: you've been to any retail story, it actually started before
2:01
Speaker 2: the Halloween.
2:03
Speaker 1: It's earlier and earlier.
2:05
Speaker 2: This what Target is doing now with their jolly requirement.
2:09
Speaker 2: I love so much because it has everything. It says
2:12
Speaker 2: so much about customer service people complaining about anything and everything,
2:17
Speaker 2: and the reaction to this so far. I love this story.
2:20
Speaker 2: We'll tell you about that too, coming up, but let's
2:22
Speaker 2: get right to it. Let's go to CNN as the
2:24
Speaker 2: news broke last night. I haven't heard CNN this ubsess
2:28
Speaker 2: since President Trump was real life moment.
2:29
Speaker 3: Here seven Democratic senators and we'll look to see Fatterman
2:33
Speaker 3: just now voted eight.
2:34
Speaker 1: I am told that he.
2:35
Speaker 3: Is me the eighth senator. So we do have at
2:38
Speaker 3: least sixty senator votes we expect here. This vote is
2:42
Speaker 3: still open. It's all as possible. Some gonna get changed
2:44
Speaker 3: their vote. Don't expect that to happen, though, expect there
2:47
Speaker 3: to be at least sixty vote the super majority to
2:49
Speaker 3: break a Democratic C LIBE filibuster. Moved towards final passage
2:53
Speaker 3: as soon as tonight are potentially earlier.
2:55
Speaker 1: This wayes that is.
2:58
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, and then he said it there
3:00
Speaker 2: and I'm glad he actually did. So this doesn't like
3:02
Speaker 2: automatically happen and all of a sudden, you know, flights
3:04
Speaker 2: aren't delayed anymore, and you get your SBA loan and
3:06
Speaker 2: everything else can happen, and you know, federal workers are paid.
3:09
Speaker 2: Takes a little bit of time or procedural votes and
3:11
Speaker 2: all that crap. So it's a week long process. But
3:13
Speaker 2: still this was a great element of this. They had
3:17
Speaker 2: to wait to get the final vote tally last night
3:19
Speaker 2: because how about this guy, Senator John Cornyn wasn't there.
3:23
Speaker 2: They had to fly him in. They had to fly
3:25
Speaker 2: him in and to make the vote he wasn't even
3:27
Speaker 2: in town. Whatever, Let's take the good news where it is,
3:30
Speaker 2: but they're not taking it as such good news over
3:32
Speaker 2: there at CNN and MSNBC. We just heard from CNN.
3:35
Speaker 2: Let's get to another panel. They truly this shows you
3:38
Speaker 2: everything you need to know, and then we'll get off
3:40
Speaker 2: this topic. But this tells you everything they need to
3:42
Speaker 2: know about who wanted this shutdown, what it was for,
3:45
Speaker 2: and he told.
3:45
Speaker 1: About this earlier.
3:46
Speaker 4: But it's strange Dean to go back to the original
3:49
Speaker 4: sort of part of this conversation of whether he is
3:51
Speaker 4: a good deal maker, I mean a way, it seems
3:54
Speaker 4: like the president is kind of getting what he wanted.
3:57
Speaker 4: Forty days ago, when all this started, he was out
3:59
Speaker 4: there saying that, oh, this is all about Democrats trying
4:02
Speaker 4: to give health care to allegal immigrants.
4:03
Speaker 5: He just said that.
4:04
Speaker 4: R reporters moments ago repeated that refrain that Democrats had
4:07
Speaker 4: actually very successfully pushed back against then there's all this energy.
4:12
Speaker 4: In the wake of the election. On Tuesday, the President
4:14
Speaker 4: made remarks saying basically, wow, Republicans are being harmed by
4:19
Speaker 4: all of this, acknowledging that he was on his back
4:21
Speaker 4: foot and now here he is winning again.
4:24
Speaker 3: How did he do it?
4:25
Speaker 1: They truly don't get it. They really don't.
4:27
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing is, like CNN is one thing,
4:29
Speaker 2: you know, there's always that comparison between of CNN and MSNBC.
4:32
Speaker 2: CNN are paid perfect, they know they're lying, they know
4:35
Speaker 2: what they're doing. The MSNBC folks, that's a completely different story.
4:39
Speaker 2: They truly don't understand what's happening. And a lot of
4:41
Speaker 2: them are truly, and I mean this, truly nuts. They're insane.
4:45
Speaker 2: That lady right there doesn't understand it. First of all,
4:48
Speaker 2: that the part of that that's not true at all
4:50
Speaker 2: is President never said that that Republicans are getting hurt
4:53
Speaker 2: by this. He used the weapon of getting rid of
4:56
Speaker 2: the filibuster to get this done, which they still should do,
4:58
Speaker 2: by the way, to get that done. And she went
5:01
Speaker 2: on to say, it was a long, long clip. I
5:03
Speaker 2: wasn't gonna torture you through that lady all morning long.
5:06
Speaker 2: She went on to say, we know that the American
5:08
Speaker 2: people were fully in support of this shutdown. No they weren't.
5:14
Speaker 1: They weren't at all. This shows you how insulated they are.
5:16
Speaker 2: And also they're only believing their own internal polling according
5:19
Speaker 2: to their own sources, where they actually thought the American
5:21
Speaker 2: people were in support of this. Well over two weeks ago,
5:25
Speaker 2: about halfway through this shutdown, the American people started to
5:28
Speaker 2: realize very very quickly who was responsible for this. This
5:31
Speaker 2: was the Democrat shutdown, This was the Chuck Schumer shutdown,
5:34
Speaker 2: and what was it all for at the end of
5:35
Speaker 2: all of this, one hundred percent, Even though they tried,
5:39
Speaker 2: they had a full scale assault, media assault, information assault
5:42
Speaker 2: to try to tell you that this was not about
5:45
Speaker 2: giving healthcare to illegals.
5:46
Speaker 1: Of course it was.
5:47
Speaker 2: Of course it was because the Democrat Party cannot exist
5:51
Speaker 2: without illegals. That's the whole thing. And that's why they
5:55
Speaker 2: freaked out when President Trump started to threaten the Republican
5:58
Speaker 2: senators to get rid of the fill of Buster, because
6:00
Speaker 2: if you do that, what you can do is vote
6:02
Speaker 2: in national voter ID. That shakes Democrats to the core,
6:07
Speaker 2: because then then and it's over. If we get that
6:11
Speaker 2: in this country, they can't exist, well, how we knew them.
6:13
Speaker 2: They cannot exist, They can't exist without cheating. That's what
6:17
Speaker 2: this was about. But as upset as CNN was, MSNBC
6:21
Speaker 2: is just completely lost in a bubble, like they only
6:23
Speaker 2: listen to their own internal newsroom sources, completely clueless on
6:28
Speaker 2: what this was all about. Completely clueless. But let's take
6:31
Speaker 2: it for what it was. So the pain, here's the
6:33
Speaker 2: big takeaway. This is what we all should start to
6:38
Speaker 2: realize once we asked the initial question. The initial question
6:40
Speaker 2: obviously was what we're all asking today. Is we go
6:42
Speaker 2: about our lives just trying to be good citizens.
6:46
Speaker 1: Well, what was that all about?
6:47
Speaker 2: Well, now that we know what that was all about,
6:49
Speaker 2: to inflict as much pain in the American people as possible.
6:52
Speaker 2: That's what the that's what the Democrats shutdown was all about.
6:55
Speaker 2: Now what the realization and the takeaway we all have
6:59
Speaker 2: to have, And this is what's really important, is if
7:02
Speaker 2: they were willing to do this with the it was
7:05
Speaker 2: that wind up being the second longest shutdown in history.
7:07
Speaker 2: I think, wasn't it If they were willing to do
7:09
Speaker 2: this with nothing gained? But inflicting pain on the American people?
7:15
Speaker 2: What else are they willing to do? So all this
7:17
Speaker 2: talk this past week that Trump was saying out there
7:19
Speaker 2: to get this done by saying, if they get it power.
7:22
Speaker 1: Again, they're gonna they're gonna take you home. They're gonna
7:24
Speaker 1: do this.
7:24
Speaker 2: They're gonna throw slid jail, They're gonna pack the court,
7:26
Speaker 2: they gonna open the border. Now that he said that
7:29
Speaker 2: in a hyperbolic kind of way, do you doubt it?
7:32
Speaker 1: Do we do? We stand here?
7:34
Speaker 2: Do we sit here today and do we doubt what
7:36
Speaker 2: they are capable of? For political revenge? They just shut
7:39
Speaker 2: down this country and inflicted harm and pain on the
7:41
Speaker 2: American people.
7:42
Speaker 1: What else are they capable of? Everything? Is your answer?
7:47
Speaker 2: That's what they're capable of. This should be your telltale
7:51
Speaker 2: sign that they'll do anything at the gain in power again.
7:53
Speaker 2: That's why I change my mind. I don't know about you.
7:56
Speaker 2: You have to make up your own mind. I am
7:58
Speaker 2: fully in favor of any where the filibuster. Now, you
8:00
Speaker 2: have to pass this agenda. You have to pass national
8:03
Speaker 2: voter ID. You have to get that done. You have
8:06
Speaker 2: to do something to fix the healthcare crisis in this
8:09
Speaker 2: country and all this stuff could be done.
8:11
Speaker 1: You have to get it done. Here's the other thing too.
8:13
Speaker 2: If I think this was I hope that they may
8:16
Speaker 2: be too stupid and wimpy to understand it. But I
8:18
Speaker 2: hope they're Republicans. I hope they understand what this was
8:21
Speaker 2: as well. Everybody sees this as an opportunity to get
8:25
Speaker 2: this agenda done. They were given a mandate. They were
8:28
Speaker 2: given a mandate to fix this country, secure the border,
8:31
Speaker 2: good job on that, to implement affordability into our economy again,
8:37
Speaker 2: pay down the debt, and get this done.
8:39
Speaker 1: If they don't, they're gonna.
8:40
Speaker 2: Get absolutely slaughtered in the midterms. Absolutely slaughtered. That's why
8:44
Speaker 2: you're gotta get rid of the fillibuster. If they don't
8:46
Speaker 2: start to actually make young people in this country feel
8:49
Speaker 2: like they have a shot getting a home, paying bills,
8:53
Speaker 2: raising a family, maybe having some other property, you're gonna
8:57
Speaker 2: get killed in the midterms. Whimpy, stupid Republicans, I'm telling you.
9:02
Speaker 2: If they don't follow the agenda and wake up and
9:05
Speaker 2: start to get tough, they are gonna get killed, and
9:07
Speaker 2: then we all pay the price. If this wasn't their
9:09
Speaker 2: wake up call, I don't know what is. So maybe
9:12
Speaker 2: I thought Trump last week was it was all hyperbole.
9:15
Speaker 2: And you know he's just stopping up and down about
9:17
Speaker 2: the filibuster.
9:19
Speaker 1: I tend to believe him. Now. They're capable of anything.
9:22
Speaker 1: And this was our proof. We just lived. We just
9:24
Speaker 1: lived it for over a month. There you go, speaking
9:26
Speaker 1: of Trump, Well it was NFL Trump yesterday. I've said
9:31
Speaker 1: this so many times. I swear to God, his favorite
9:34
Speaker 1: thing are sports.
9:35
Speaker 2: I think nothing brightens him up except for good poll
9:39
Speaker 2: results and winning elections. Like when he has like some
9:43
Speaker 2: sort of a national championship team at the White House
9:45
Speaker 2: and he gets to get and he loves the sports memorabilia.
9:47
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, his presidential library wherever and whenever it happens,
9:51
Speaker 2: he's gonna look like a sports bar.
9:53
Speaker 1: Well, he just loved this guy stuff.
9:56
Speaker 2: So it didn't take a lot to twist his arm
9:58
Speaker 2: to get him to the Commander's Washington formerly Redskins Commander's
10:02
Speaker 2: Lions game in Washington, d C. And it did something
10:04
Speaker 2: pretty special at halftime where he swore in a bunch
10:06
Speaker 2: of new recruits to join our military service. Good for them,
10:09
Speaker 2: good for him for doing it. But this is another
10:12
Speaker 2: telltale sign. What's your takeaway?
10:13
Speaker 1: On this.
10:14
Speaker 2: So here he is in the booth swearing in new
10:17
Speaker 2: soldiers to the military. You're gonna hear here in the
10:20
Speaker 2: audio more than him are boos from the crowd. Almost
10:25
Speaker 2: the entire stadium booing him. My takeaway was this, people
10:29
Speaker 2: hate Trump so much they're willing to boo as new
10:32
Speaker 2: young people are willing to commit to service serving our country.
10:37
Speaker 2: You should start to pay attention. And don't get it twisted.
10:51
Speaker 2: They weren't cheers, they were booze. Now again, it was
10:53
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. Maybe that'll tell you something. It
10:57
Speaker 2: tells me that the most extreme the left, and there's
11:01
Speaker 2: a lot of them these days, we all know that
11:02
Speaker 2: are willing to erupt in booze in a stadium as
11:07
Speaker 2: young people are getting sworn into their military service, just
11:09
Speaker 2: because they hate him so much. I guess that's the
11:12
Speaker 2: overall take. What are they capable of everything? But then
11:17
Speaker 2: he went into the booth and talked to Fox at halftime.
11:20
Speaker 2: It's been done by other presidents before. But if you
11:22
Speaker 2: listen to local yoga sports reporters and commentators and bloggers
11:26
Speaker 2: and podcasters.
11:26
Speaker 1: Oh they're so horrified, like this has never been done.
11:30
Speaker 2: Fox is getting all kinds of heat for this, but
11:32
Speaker 2: I thought overall it was very professional.
11:34
Speaker 1: It was very good, and I'll tell you why. I
11:36
Speaker 1: think it's specially.
11:36
Speaker 4: President, thanks so much for joining us, Scottie, Albert Jonathan
11:39
Speaker 4: Wilde Veterans date weekend right, the NFL salute the service.
11:44
Speaker 1: How manful is it for you to be here today?
11:46
Speaker 5: It just took part in the halftime ceremony honoring the military.
11:49
Speaker 1: Well, we just swore in.
11:50
Speaker 3: A tremendous group of young people and that was an honor.
11:54
Speaker 3: And they are just fantastic and they love you know,
11:56
Speaker 3: our recruitment's been record setting.
11:58
Speaker 1: Since it went into a little bit of numbers day.
12:00
Speaker 1: You know what we do.
12:01
Speaker 2: A recruitment's been fantastic. I think he wrapped it up
12:03
Speaker 2: by saying it was a disaster before. So of course
12:06
Speaker 2: it's gonna get a little political. He's the president, for
12:08
Speaker 2: God's sakes, He's in the world of politics. Now.
12:10
Speaker 1: This went on.
12:11
Speaker 2: I saw it live, I was watching it. I thought
12:12
Speaker 2: it was well done. I thought broadcasters in the booth
12:16
Speaker 2: did a nice job. It was nice and cleaning professional.
12:18
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the reaction and the heat that Fox
12:21
Speaker 2: is taking for this, you know, I can imagine right
12:24
Speaker 2: now live as we did a live stream, what the
12:26
Speaker 2: ESPN talking head shows are talking about.
12:29
Speaker 1: If you think news media.
12:30
Speaker 2: Is bad and woke and corrupt and propagandized, pay attention
12:36
Speaker 2: to sports.
12:37
Speaker 1: Media and what's happened to it.
12:38
Speaker 2: It is absolutely completely awful, which explains why all the
12:43
Speaker 2: local yoguls and all the bloggers and podcasters and commentators
12:46
Speaker 2: they are all blasting. But it was absolutely These are
12:49
Speaker 2: some just paraphrasing, but see what These are some of
12:51
Speaker 2: the things I read last night on x It is
12:53
Speaker 2: absolutely despicable for Fox to politicize a broadcast of another
13:00
Speaker 2: NFL game. Really, the same exact people who said nothing nothing,
13:05
Speaker 2: made no comments whatsoever when they were kneeling during the
13:09
Speaker 2: national anthem. Remember those two seasons, Remember the Black Lives
13:12
Speaker 2: Matter painted in the end zone, Remember that the whole
13:14
Speaker 2: Colin Kaepernick thing, all of the all.
13:16
Speaker 1: And all the things.
13:17
Speaker 2: And also, by the way, all the other presidents who
13:19
Speaker 2: have been in broadcast Army Navy game.
13:21
Speaker 1: I know Obama's done it.
13:22
Speaker 2: I think they tried to wheel Biden out for one
13:25
Speaker 2: of these two or something like that. I know Clinton's
13:27
Speaker 2: done it. Bush no comment whatsoever. But because it's this guy.
13:30
Speaker 2: But because it's Trump, they're so, oh, how dare you?
13:34
Speaker 2: How dare you do this to our national sport? How
13:37
Speaker 2: do you know what? Shut up? Just shut up with that.
13:42
Speaker 2: No one cares what you think anymore with your opinion.
13:44
Speaker 2: Nobody Let the guy do what he does. And it's
13:48
Speaker 2: interesting now too, because they're the loudest voices on the left,
13:51
Speaker 2: because they can still to this day, believe it or not,
13:53
Speaker 2: control of the media and digital media too. You'd think
13:57
Speaker 2: that they run the narrative. And that's the old overwhelming
14:00
Speaker 2: narrative on this I wouldn't buy it. Here's another example,
14:03
Speaker 2: same game, slightly just after he was in the broadcast booth.
14:07
Speaker 2: Now this is mostly a visual. I'll describe it for
14:09
Speaker 2: you audio podcast only listeners. Here's a touchdown. Here's the
14:13
Speaker 2: play call by the Lions. They scored, and you'll see
14:18
Speaker 2: here and I'll describe it the touchdown dance they do friends,
14:23
Speaker 2: it's the Trump dance. And they pointed to the booth
14:26
Speaker 2: where he was watching it live. This should tell you
14:29
Speaker 2: that if NFL players are willing to do that, so
14:31
Speaker 2: is most.
14:32
Speaker 1: Of the country.
14:35
Speaker 2: God from the Swat the same time, he is him
14:38
Speaker 2: for the Lions touchdown, a point to the booth to
14:48
Speaker 2: President Trump and not one guy, not one wide receiver,
14:51
Speaker 2: four or five offensive players doing the Trump dance. I
14:56
Speaker 2: bet you enjoyed that more than anything of the entire game,
14:58
Speaker 2: because you know he saw it.
15:00
Speaker 1: All right.
15:00
Speaker 2: Here's my favorite story of the day, I think because
15:02
Speaker 2: it encapsulates everything.
15:04
Speaker 1: Love it.
15:05
Speaker 2: First of all, we're in the Christmas season. You know that,
15:08
Speaker 2: we're in November and retail. If you've been to a
15:11
Speaker 2: retail store from anytime in October to now, you know
15:14
Speaker 2: you've faced an onslaught of Christmas stuff. And I know
15:17
Speaker 2: it's a cultural debate.
15:18
Speaker 1: Is at too early?
15:19
Speaker 2: It's you know, but people love Christmas and despite the complaints,
15:24
Speaker 2: they love the holiday shopping season. They do.
15:26
Speaker 1: That's what I've found in my experience.
15:27
Speaker 2: But I love this because it talks about current state
15:29
Speaker 2: of customer service and it also talks about the current
15:32
Speaker 2: state of you know, I call them local yokel news commentators.
15:38
Speaker 2: These two are out of NBC nine in Denver. So
15:41
Speaker 2: the story is this, and they'll explain it to you.
15:43
Speaker 2: It's a long video, but you need to see these
15:45
Speaker 2: two react to it. At the end, Target has a
15:48
Speaker 2: new policy. This is honest to god true reported by Bloomberg,
15:51
Speaker 2: and I think the Wall Street Journal and everybody else.
15:55
Speaker 2: Target has a policy in place now where their workers
15:57
Speaker 2: are going to have to be jolly all right.
16:00
Speaker 1: What's that mean?
16:02
Speaker 2: It means if they're within ten feet of somebody, they're
16:04
Speaker 2: gonna have to smile or wave or say say hello.
16:07
Speaker 2: This is an actual, honest to god policy. Now ask
16:10
Speaker 2: yourself why it's because they're not doing this, you know,
16:15
Speaker 2: pick this policy out of a hat. It's because obviously
16:17
Speaker 2: they had some internal studies and they had some customer
16:20
Speaker 2: surveys where they said, you know what, it's not as
16:22
Speaker 2: friendly as it is. And anybody that's been in retail
16:24
Speaker 2: for the past, oh, i don't know, ten to fifteen
16:26
Speaker 2: years has noticed the exact same thing too. Now, I
16:29
Speaker 2: love retail workers. I know it's a tough job. I
16:31
Speaker 2: did it in college too. I understand it. But I
16:34
Speaker 2: think we can all agree the state of customer service
16:37
Speaker 2: sucks these days for a multitude of reasons. Well, Target's
16:41
Speaker 2: trying to do something about it. These two found something
16:44
Speaker 2: to complain about. That long story, but you got to
16:48
Speaker 2: get the details and listen to their and watch their reaction.
16:51
Speaker 5: Is a new jolly requirement at Target. Store employees now
16:56
Speaker 5: are required to smile. If they were within ten feet
16:59
Speaker 5: of a shopper, they have to make eye contact and
17:02
Speaker 5: wave or greet the customer, and if they're within four feet,
17:07
Speaker 5: the employee should ask if the customer needs help. Bloomberg
17:10
Speaker 5: reports this is part of a new guidance program from
17:12
Speaker 5: Target with an incoming CEO. Well, that explains it right there.
17:16
Speaker 5: Who is looking to make stores more hospitable? This to me,
17:21
Speaker 5: Sam sounds like a solution in search of a problem,
17:23
Speaker 5: because I have never heard anyone complain that the people
17:26
Speaker 5: at Target aren't kind enough to that.
17:27
Speaker 1: Whoa. And first of all, for me, that's almost too much.
17:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not want to think all feel awkward walking
17:34
Speaker 5: around and someone's like you, guys, we're going to walk
17:38
Speaker 5: around with like tape measures, be like, oh four feet,
17:40
Speaker 5: how can I help? I'm with you. Back out for
17:42
Speaker 5: them too, Like they shouldn't have to do that. Yeah,
17:45
Speaker 5: Like this feels like one person complained in a complaint box,
17:48
Speaker 5: and maybe it was like a teenage worker who just
17:50
Speaker 5: was like learning their way around the store. I'm sorry
17:52
Speaker 5: if you've had this bad experience. Mostly I'm sorry to
17:54
Speaker 5: target employees because that is so not necessary.
17:57
Speaker 1: No, and have you ever been at one of.
17:59
Speaker 5: These stores and asked for help and didn't get it?
18:01
Speaker 1: No, everyone's been so kind and so helpful. So sorry.
18:06
Speaker 2: First of all, where the hell are you shopping? I
18:08
Speaker 2: guess they're based in Denver or whatever. Maybe you have
18:10
Speaker 2: the most the friendliest customer service people on earth. And again,
18:14
Speaker 2: I love retail workers, and I know it's a tough job,
18:17
Speaker 2: and get I get that it's tough. But here we
18:19
Speaker 2: have and I will guarantee you first of all that
18:21
Speaker 2: these two that these two cacklers always complain about customer service,
18:26
Speaker 2: I will guarantee it. But something actually gets done about it.
18:30
Speaker 2: You actually have a retailer responding to the consumer base
18:33
Speaker 2: and saying, you know what, we're gonna We're gonna make
18:34
Speaker 2: sure that we're friendlier and we're jollier here, especially during
18:37
Speaker 2: the Christmas season. We're gonna go above and beyond to
18:39
Speaker 2: try to make sure that we provide good customer service
18:42
Speaker 2: to the people kind enough to give us their money
18:45
Speaker 2: and shop at our store. No, these two, these two
18:48
Speaker 2: cackling about complaining about it, that they actually Oh, well,
18:54
Speaker 2: that explains it right there.
18:55
Speaker 1: New CEO. Ah, that's too much, it's too weird. Are
18:59
Speaker 1: you freaking kidding me? You know what?
19:02
Speaker 2: It also tells me, honestly, how bad? How bad is it?
19:06
Speaker 2: What was the actual state of customer service that they,
19:09
Speaker 2: a major retailer, had to institute a policy where, you.
19:12
Speaker 1: Know what, we're gonna have to actually be friendly.
19:15
Speaker 2: This is what a big part of the job is
19:18
Speaker 2: where they actually had to say this and make it
19:20
Speaker 2: a rule that tells you right there how bad customer
19:23
Speaker 2: service has fallen in our country. But here I congratulate
19:25
Speaker 2: Target for doing this. I really do to go above
19:28
Speaker 2: and beyond, but people will find a reason to complain,
19:30
Speaker 2: especially these two.
19:31
Speaker 1: I mean, this was perfect.
19:33
Speaker 2: And you know what else it summarizes perfectly local news
19:37
Speaker 2: every market Denver's no different, They're the same. You have
19:40
Speaker 2: the equivalent of these two and every single TV market
19:43
Speaker 2: in the world, every single one of them. You can
19:45
Speaker 2: find two people like this. They'll they'll do a friendly,
19:47
Speaker 2: feel good story and they'll be like, ah, wow, local
19:52
Speaker 2: TV news did.
19:52
Speaker 1: This to themselves.
19:53
Speaker 2: This is why nobody watches anymore. There's your example, these
19:57
Speaker 2: two right there. Well, I think it's weird being being
20:00
Speaker 2: friendly to customers.
20:01
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't time. I'm sorry if you're going through that,
20:04
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
20:07
Speaker 2: And if you don't think customer service was bad, why
20:11
Speaker 2: would a major retailer have to come up with a
20:13
Speaker 2: rule to make it a little bit better? Oh, I'm
20:15
Speaker 2: sorry you have to smile and be jolly at your
20:17
Speaker 2: customers who are spending their hard earned dollars at Target. Oh,
20:21
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to put you out like that. You know what,
20:23
Speaker 2: I'm gonna congratulate Target for doing this. I'm gonna I'm gonna,
20:26
Speaker 2: first of all, I'm gonna smile back. I'm gonna make
20:28
Speaker 2: note of the employees that smile at me and actually
20:31
Speaker 2: try to, you know, make an effort throughout this rule.
20:33
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try.
20:34
Speaker 2: And you know what else, I'm gonna contact the local
20:36
Speaker 2: manager and hopefully somebody, I swear to God, somebody at Target.
20:39
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say thank you for your new customer rule.
20:41
Speaker 1: I love it.
20:42
Speaker 2: It made my shopping experience and my Christmas season even better.
20:45
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do because I want to encourage
20:47
Speaker 2: it to douse the opinions of local yogl cackling women
20:52
Speaker 2: like that at NBC nine in Denver.
20:54
Speaker 1: Good for you, Target, you go all right, Sorry a
20:58
Speaker 1: little work up there.
21:00
Speaker 2: Thanks for finding me. I appreciate you again. Big takeaway,
21:03
Speaker 2: and this is on the serious side of things. What
21:05
Speaker 2: was that shutdown all about? Now that it's essentially over,
21:09
Speaker 2: you know, political power and games, that's all.
21:12
Speaker 1: But here's the real takeaway that we all have to understand.
21:14
Speaker 2: If they're willing to do that to inflict pain in
21:16
Speaker 2: the American people, they're capable of anything.
21:20
Speaker 1: Bust the filibuster. Anyway, Thanks for finding me, and it's
