Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / Wicked Radio 2-11: Do A DOGE-Like Audit In Your Personal Business!
Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Or we're talking a lot of DOGE today because that's
- 0:07Speaker 1: what's in the headlines. We're going to the dogs because
- 0:10Speaker 1: it's really affecting everything these days, of course the Department
- 0:14Speaker 1: of Government efficiency. But it's not gonna be like a
- 0:16Speaker 1: boring take angle on cutting all this waste. Personally, I
- 0:20Speaker 1: don't think cutting waste is boring myself. But there's something
- 0:22Speaker 1: else to this. Although this may be the one, this
- 0:26Speaker 1: may be the one where you.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Push back a little bit.
- 0:29Speaker 1: I think DOGE is just a very public and a
- 0:32Speaker 1: very loud example of cutting waste and how you can
- 0:36Speaker 1: apply that to your personal life. It's a great lesson
- 0:38Speaker 1: for all of us. And you're probably thinking, okay, all right,
- 0:42Speaker 1: that's it. You know, usually I'm with you, Bill, you know,
- 0:44Speaker 1: and I get it.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Most of the time.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I'm with you, and you take these national whatever's going
- 0:48Speaker 1: on in current events in the headlines, and you know
- 0:51Speaker 1: what's the self empowering message you can take out of that,
- 0:53Speaker 1: or what's the lesson you can learn. But this one, yeah,
- 0:56Speaker 1: you pushing it a little too far, but hold on,
- 0:59Speaker 1: hear me out. This will all make sense, and it's
- 1:02Speaker 1: actually kind of an awesome thing because what you learn
- 1:05Speaker 1: is you can apply all this stuff do anything going
- 1:08Speaker 1: on in your personal life, and more importantly, you look
- 1:10Speaker 1: out for who's protesting you, auditing what's not working right,
- 1:16Speaker 1: because those are the people you have to get rid
- 1:18Speaker 1: of it. All all makes sense, trust me on this one.
- 1:20Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. Those protests as well, and
- 1:23Speaker 1: some not so surprising numbers about the super Bowl just
- 1:25Speaker 1: came in. Usually takes a day, day and a half
- 1:27Speaker 1: for that stuff to come out, but the media outlets
- 1:30Speaker 1: cannot stop pushing one certain aspect. They can't get over it,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and it's certainly time they do, at least before the
- 1:36Speaker 1: next super Bowl, for sure. But before we get to that,
- 1:39Speaker 1: the business, the nuts and bolts. Thanks for finding Wicked Radio.
- 1:41Speaker 1: As always, this is always a replay on x and
- 1:44Speaker 1: on Facebook and a YouTube on there. But the audio
- 1:46Speaker 1: podcast is wherever you search for Wicked Radio with Bill Adams,
- 1:49Speaker 1: you'll find it whatever is your chosen platform.
- 1:52Speaker 2: So thanks for being here. All right, let's get to
- 1:55Speaker 2: it today.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I mean, yesterday was a big day, the loudest of
- 1:58Speaker 1: the protests, and I will say the most desperates of
- 2:01Speaker 1: the protests against cutting waste. It sounds weird even to
- 2:06Speaker 1: say that the think of it, the protests against cutting,
- 2:11Speaker 1: wasting corruption, That's exactly what it is. Because this should
- 2:14Speaker 1: tell you everything you need to know. This is why
- 2:16Speaker 1: they're getting so desperate. Because people who have a vested
- 2:19Speaker 1: interest in keeping auditing, keeping this Doge department, keeping Elon
- 2:25Speaker 1: and everybody else out of their personal lives, out of
- 2:27Speaker 1: their elected business, they're the most corrupt. And they're all
- 2:33Speaker 1: coming out of the woodwork because they kind of have to.
- 2:35Speaker 1: And you may be asking yourself, why are they protesting,
- 2:37Speaker 1: Because they're like sitting targets. They're making it easy to
- 2:40Speaker 1: find who the most corrupt DC politicians are. Well, the
- 2:44Speaker 1: first reason is because they have to try the best
- 2:46Speaker 1: they can to control the narrative. I don't think it's
- 2:48Speaker 1: going to work, but they have to get out there
- 2:50Speaker 1: and they have to try to control the narrative and
- 2:52Speaker 1: get out there and try to rally their troops, you know,
- 2:56Speaker 1: people that are out there that want to support the
- 2:58Speaker 1: corruption whatever on a But it's getting more desperate all
- 3:02Speaker 1: the time, which is making this job, our job as
- 3:05Speaker 1: an American taxpayer, is really easy. The louder they get, the
- 3:10Speaker 1: easy it does it is for us to fire them.
- 3:12Speaker 1: We just do it through Doge, because that's what you know,
- 3:15Speaker 1: most of us did vote for. Here's the loudest one.
- 3:18Speaker 1: He's the one that got the most attention yesterday. Quasi
- 3:21Speaker 1: and Fume might be familiar with that name. The elected
- 3:24Speaker 1: congressional representative from the Baltimore district.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Here's what he said.
- 3:27Speaker 3: This will be a congressional fight, a constitutional fight, a
- 3:33Speaker 3: legal fight, and on days like this, a street fight.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Yes, we will street fight. But they love to fight,
- 3:40Speaker 2: don't they. I love it too.
- 3:42Speaker 1: It will be a legal fight, but it's gonna be
- 3:45Speaker 1: a street fight. Well you can't have both, first of all,
- 3:48Speaker 1: let's start there. But they love to fight.
- 3:49Speaker 2: It's gonna be a fight, you know.
- 3:51Speaker 1: And then, like Maxine Waters said a couple of years ago,
- 3:53Speaker 1: we're gonna get in their faces and they did, Well.
- 3:55Speaker 2: That's not gonna go well either, and you hope it
- 3:57Speaker 2: doesn't come to that. But they love to fight. Again.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Why are they there?
- 4:01Speaker 1: Why are those elected representatives behind him there? Because they
- 4:05Speaker 1: want to hold onto their corruption. That's not even speculation anymore.
- 4:08Speaker 1: It's not even it's just it's fact. I mean, you're
- 4:12Speaker 1: not even gonna find really all that many Democrat voters
- 4:15Speaker 1: or are just independents who are going to argue with that.
- 4:19Speaker 1: If you're fighting against even looking into your department, looking
- 4:23Speaker 1: into where this American tax payer money, your money is going.
- 4:28Speaker 1: If you're fighting against looking into that, you are corrupt.
- 4:30Speaker 1: As the day is long, like him, It's just it
- 4:34Speaker 1: is what it is. But it's getting louder.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Now.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Speaking of loud, let's go to another speaker from yesterday's protest,
- 4:40Speaker 1: and there were a lot of them, Jazmine Crockett. Oh,
- 4:44Speaker 1: she's my new favorite representative, congressional representative. She's on the
- 4:48Speaker 1: amazingly on the Oversight Committee, which is this will directly
- 4:51Speaker 1: affect her because you know they're supposed to watch the
- 4:54Speaker 1: government spending elected representative from Texas. Nice job, Texas, because
- 4:58Speaker 1: you brought this to it, we are.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Gonna be in your face, We are gonna be on
- 5:03Speaker 3: your asses, and we are gonna make sure.
- 5:08Speaker 2: We are gonna make sure.
- 5:10Speaker 3: You understand what democracy looks like.
- 5:14Speaker 1: This ain't it.
- 5:16Speaker 3: So let me tell you something, mister Trump. You gonna
- 5:21Speaker 3: learn a few lessons from us, and I'm gonna be
- 5:26Speaker 3: the first one. You and your little friend off of Twitter.
- 5:32Speaker 1: My god, I think I lost some brain cells just
- 5:34Speaker 1: listening to that. Thanks Texas, thanks for that one. Appreciate it.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Well democracy isn't uh any any legit. Democracy
- 5:45Speaker 1: fully welcomes an audit. And that's true, right, And this
- 5:48Speaker 1: is one I'm gonna had. Two. If you have somebody,
- 5:50Speaker 1: if you are on the up and up, you fully
- 5:52Speaker 1: welcome an audit because it actually gives you an opportunity
- 5:55Speaker 1: to explain what you do, and it makes your case
- 5:58Speaker 1: to explain how important you are and.
- 5:59Speaker 2: How value you are.
- 6:00Speaker 1: If you fight an audit, except the irs, that's a
- 6:03Speaker 1: different thing. If you fight looking into your own business,
- 6:07Speaker 1: you're hiding something, and she's hiding something. Except the difference
- 6:10Speaker 1: between quasim Fume, the first speaker there, and her, I
- 6:13Speaker 1: think she actually truly doesn't understand exactly what she's hiding.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Like there's corrupt by design, and then there's her who's
- 6:20Speaker 1: just like a fool who's corrupt because they're using her.
- 6:24Speaker 1: I think, I don't know, but she's not too bright
- 6:26Speaker 1: and she's you know again, I can't be on your ass. Okay,
- 6:30Speaker 1: all right, Again, the louder it gets, the more desperate
- 6:34Speaker 1: it gets. And how about these protests do we even
- 6:36Speaker 1: call them protests? Is that the right word to use.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I caught this clip from Joe Rogan yesterday and he
- 6:43Speaker 1: made a lot of sense on how non organic these
- 6:48Speaker 1: protests are because this isn't from the street, you know,
- 6:51Speaker 1: this isn't the traditional you know, the whole concept of
- 6:54Speaker 1: protesting and make your voice heard in a true democracy.
- 6:57Speaker 2: It's really important. You have to do it.
- 6:59Speaker 1: It's it's what we do, what we do at a
- 7:01Speaker 1: constitutional republic.
- 7:03Speaker 2: It's really important.
- 7:04Speaker 1: This what we're seeing there all over the news and
- 7:06Speaker 1: what we just heard right there, that that's not any way,
- 7:10Speaker 1: shape or form and organic protests. And he did a
- 7:12Speaker 1: great job describing that. This was Joe Rogan just I
- 7:14Speaker 1: think it was just yesterday, But that's not what this is.
- 7:16Speaker 4: What this is is organized funded protests where someone is
- 7:21Speaker 4: spending a lot of money and they're mobilizing other NGOs.
- 7:25Speaker 4: They're using their access to these mailing lists and all
- 7:28Speaker 4: these different things. They're putting these things together.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Well why, again, the big question is why? And the
- 7:35Speaker 1: great thing is more and more.
- 7:36Speaker 2: People realize it.
- 7:38Speaker 1: At the louder and the more desperate these protests get,
- 7:41Speaker 1: more people realize, oh, yeah, this is not Even if
- 7:44Speaker 1: you haven't paid attention to this stuff.
- 7:45Speaker 2: You look at it and you're like, oh, yeah, something
- 7:46Speaker 2: funky is going on here, like they're actually.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Again, it sounds weird to say because it's so bizarre
- 7:53Speaker 1: DC politicians protesting cutting government waste. It's just insane. And
- 8:02Speaker 1: if the argument is still out there, well that's not wasteful.
- 8:04Speaker 1: These are very important programs. Well here's the smartest thing
- 8:07Speaker 1: Doge has done in this process.
- 8:09Speaker 2: They've made it very public.
- 8:11Speaker 1: It's there's not a lot of people who will they
- 8:14Speaker 1: want to move the argument. There's not a lot of
- 8:16Speaker 1: people arguing that this isn't government waste because it's very public.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Of where this stuff has gone, it's all been publicized.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I mean, wasteful at the best, flat out dangerous and
- 8:26Speaker 1: criminal at worst what they've dug up, and they've publicized
- 8:31Speaker 1: exactly what they've found. So the louder this gets, the
- 8:34Speaker 1: more corrupt they look. So they're exposing themselves, but they
- 8:37Speaker 1: kind of have to. But it's it's a great thing.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Now here's here's what I'm getting at. This is why
- 8:43Speaker 1: I wanted to bring this up in the first place.
- 8:45Speaker 1: You know again, and this is this is gonna be
- 8:47Speaker 1: the one. This is this is the one where you go, Okay,
- 8:50Speaker 1: well that's.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Now, that's a little bit.
- 8:51Speaker 1: I'm was with you usually Bill, and you kind of
- 8:53Speaker 1: make the connection what's going on in the headlines and
- 8:56Speaker 1: the news and what you can learn from it, what's
- 8:58Speaker 1: the self empowering message there that we can all apply.
- 9:00Speaker 1: And this is the one where you're gonna say, yeah,
- 9:03Speaker 1: that's a little much. What I'm saying is this doge
- 9:08Speaker 1: thing just auditing and cutting and getting rid of waste
- 9:11Speaker 1: and corruption in a very public way is all it is.
- 9:14Speaker 1: It's just the most public possible example of cutting out corruption.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Can't you do that?
- 9:21Speaker 1: Can't we all do that in our personal business? Of
- 9:24Speaker 1: course you can hear me out because if you look
- 9:27Speaker 1: at if you get that sense and we all have it,
- 9:30Speaker 1: which we're all adults, anything going on in your personal
- 9:33Speaker 1: life or business that's just not working, it's just not there.
- 9:36Speaker 1: You know, you're a manager of a big department and
- 9:38Speaker 1: the numbers aren't there. You're like, I don't what is
- 9:40Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes. Or you're an owner of
- 9:42Speaker 1: a small business and numbers aren't there. You like, something's
- 9:45Speaker 1: not working. I don't know what's happened. Or you're losing
- 9:47Speaker 1: a bunch of employees. And something's happening applied even to
- 9:50Speaker 1: your personal life, right, Why do I keep losing friends?
- 9:55Speaker 2: Why does this all keep happening?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Every once in a while, you got to stop and
- 9:59Speaker 1: audit what the hell's going on? Just stop otherwise things
- 10:02Speaker 1: spin out of control again the big public example, government waste.
- 10:06Speaker 1: It's happened for sixty seventy years. That's why we're so
- 10:09Speaker 1: in debt. How about your personal life? Are you paying
- 10:12Speaker 1: attention to your business? You know, your classroom, you're dating
- 10:17Speaker 1: your social situation anything. This is what we can all
- 10:22Speaker 1: do is to look at that look in the nuts
- 10:24Speaker 1: and bolts. Actually happened a couple of years ago, and
- 10:26Speaker 1: we weren't even aware of it. Remember in COVID, I know,
- 10:29Speaker 1: I hate to even bring it up. I get PTSD
- 10:31Speaker 1: as well. Remember during the whole COVID thing when they
- 10:33Speaker 1: shut kids out of classrooms, so they forced parents to
- 10:36Speaker 1: teach kids at home, which was on nightmares. You're trying
- 10:38Speaker 1: to work to a lot of parents. We looked at
- 10:41Speaker 1: the curriculum they gave us to teach kids that we
- 10:43Speaker 1: were like, all right, well we got these classes, these
- 10:46Speaker 1: huh what.
- 10:49Speaker 2: They're teaching our kids? What?
- 10:52Speaker 1: And This led to a massive movement of more homeschooling,
- 10:57Speaker 1: more people showing up at school boards, more people demanding change.
- 11:02Speaker 1: That wasn't audit, that's all that was. Now we're seeing
- 11:05Speaker 1: just a giant example of that with this whole doge thing.
- 11:08Speaker 2: That's all it is.
- 11:10Speaker 1: You can absolutely do this in your personal life too.
- 11:12Speaker 1: But here's the beautiful, amazing thing that happens. If you've
- 11:16Speaker 1: ever done it, just take time to look at what's
- 11:18Speaker 1: going on in your personal business. An amazing thing happens,
- 11:22Speaker 1: and it's great.
- 11:23Speaker 2: It makes it easy for you.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Most people who are useless that you don't need, they
- 11:30Speaker 1: fire themselves, or at worst, if they're doing damage or
- 11:34Speaker 1: stealing or running the good people off, eventually they fire themselves.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Another good example.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Then we can grab from what's going on nationally here
- 11:46Speaker 1: and I'll go right to Congressman Mike Collins post. I
- 11:51Speaker 1: think this was from a couple of days ago, where
- 11:53Speaker 1: he said, another glorious morning in America. At least twenty
- 11:57Speaker 1: thousand federal workers have signed up to exit government service
- 12:00Speaker 1: in exchange for paychecks offered through September. This is that
- 12:02Speaker 1: deal that Trump offered. They just fired themselves. You know why,
- 12:09Speaker 1: because they know that what they're involved with with your
- 12:13Speaker 1: taxpayer money is going to waste, fraud and corruption and
- 12:18Speaker 1: sometimes criminal activity.
- 12:20Speaker 2: So why not get a payout, leave.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Find some other line of work where you're not going
- 12:24Speaker 1: to be looked at before it's too late. This will
- 12:28Speaker 1: happen in your own personal business too, no matter what
- 12:31Speaker 1: you run, no matter what it is, you start looking
- 12:33Speaker 1: into this stuff, and you start asking questions and demanding
- 12:36Speaker 1: a change, you know.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Kind of like we all did.
- 12:39Speaker 1: The bad people fire themselves. Usually that happens, and it's awesome.
- 12:45Speaker 1: It's the best possible thing that can happen, and it
- 12:47Speaker 1: happens all the time because the louder they get like
- 12:51Speaker 1: those protests, the easier it is for you to get
- 12:53Speaker 1: rid of them. In any case. All right, so that's
- 12:58Speaker 1: my that's my magical bridge I built. You see you
- 13:01Speaker 1: hear what I'm saying now, with those just being a
- 13:03Speaker 1: giant public example of you can apply that to we
- 13:06Speaker 1: can all apply that to your personal business.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Thank you, thanks for coming to my ted talk.
- 13:13Speaker 1: All right, some not so surprised, some not so surprising
- 13:16Speaker 1: numbers from Super Bowl?
- 13:17Speaker 2: What was that the other day? Fifty nine? You remember
- 13:20Speaker 2: when this happened for the.
- 13:22Speaker 4: Second time the Fix Lombardi Show for your Head into Philadelphia.
- 13:28Speaker 2: It was if you watched it, you were part of
- 13:30Speaker 2: the biggest super Bowl audience of all time.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Now this isn't really that surprising because it happens all
- 13:35Speaker 1: the time. It's kind of a shocking thing when the
- 13:37Speaker 1: Super Bowl numbers don't go up. But as it turns out,
- 13:41Speaker 1: and this is according it usually takes like a day
- 13:43Speaker 1: and a half for them to compile all the numbers
- 13:45Speaker 1: because it's so complicated. Now it's not just when it
- 13:47Speaker 1: was on one network. It's on streaming services, and it's
- 13:51Speaker 1: on overseas networks, and it's you know, people watching on
- 13:54Speaker 1: YouTube and all that other stuff. But it turns out
- 13:56Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty nine delivered in an average viewership of
- 13:59Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six million people according to Fox's projections,
- 14:04Speaker 1: and it went up over last year's. It broke the
- 14:06Speaker 1: record that was set last year. This happens again and
- 14:09Speaker 1: again and again over the previous record, which is not
- 14:14Speaker 1: that surprising and pretty good. It is the Great American spectacle.
- 14:17Speaker 1: It's a thing, like we said the other day, even
- 14:20Speaker 1: if you're not into football. But I wonder if they
- 14:23Speaker 1: keep pushing this if they're ever going to lose some
- 14:26Speaker 1: audience numbers, because this was just so ridiculous, and the
- 14:30Speaker 1: heartwarming thing was they're getting called out for it.
- 14:33Speaker 2: It's got a ESPN.
- 14:35Speaker 1: This is a big post, and they did stories on it.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Of course they did on their morning shows. It's going
- 14:39Speaker 1: on right now. The post is Jalen Hurts, big picture
- 14:45Speaker 1: of him because he's the MVP, and it says fourth
- 14:48Speaker 1: black quarterback to win the Super Bowl headline Jalen Hurts
- 14:53Speaker 1: joins Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, and Doug Williams is the
- 14:56Speaker 1: only black quarterbacks to win.
- 14:57Speaker 2: A Super Bowl? Why?
- 15:00Speaker 3: Why?
- 15:01Speaker 2: Why? Even why are we still counting this? Why?
- 15:04Speaker 1: The whole goal? What I was taught was to be colorblind.
- 15:07Speaker 1: What I also learned throughout my life why I love
- 15:09Speaker 1: sports so much is it's a unifier. You're not thinking
- 15:12Speaker 1: about race, or you shouldn't anyway, You're just thinking about
- 15:14Speaker 1: the only color you're rooting for is the uniform color
- 15:16Speaker 1: you happen to prefer.
- 15:17Speaker 2: That's all.
- 15:18Speaker 1: But let's not just pick on ESPN, because Fox itself
- 15:20Speaker 1: did it too, same almost exact story, Black quarterbacks to
- 15:25Speaker 1: it a Super Bowl Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes,
- 15:29Speaker 1: Doug Williams. Doug Williams back in the day, he was
- 15:31Speaker 1: the guy at media day when he won with the Redskins.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Formerly knows the Redskins. Is it hung? How long you've
- 15:36Speaker 2: been a black quarterback? He says, all my life? Why?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Why keep pushing this? This is the kind of stuff
- 15:43Speaker 1: that turns people away from sports. Stop counting. We're supposed
- 15:48Speaker 1: to be colorblind. Let's stop thinking about those things. But whatever,
- 15:53Speaker 1: super Bowl sixty next year. They Now, did you see
- 15:56Speaker 1: that logo for Super Bowl sixty, which I think is
- 15:58Speaker 1: in San Francisco?
- 16:00Speaker 2: That looks pretty rough.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I don't know how married they are to that, but
- 16:03Speaker 1: they're gonna have to change that thing because that is
- 16:05Speaker 1: Remember they used to have.
- 16:06Speaker 2: The old Super Bowl logos where it's like a cool patch.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Let's go back to that, all right. The takeaway, absolutely
- 16:13Speaker 2: the truth.
- 16:14Speaker 1: What's going on with those is just a giant public
- 16:16Speaker 1: example of what you and I and everybody else can
- 16:18Speaker 1: do in your personal business. Ask questions if it's not working,
- 16:22Speaker 1: audit it, and watch out for those who protest having
