Wicked Radio 12-9: Ignore SCOTUS - Fire Who You Need To, & Christmas Card Day? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:03
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to fire people. I mean, anybody
0:05
Speaker 1: that's a manager, business owner, anybody that's in charge. If
0:09
Speaker 1: people understands this almost one of the first things you learn,
0:12
Speaker 1: and if you can't do that, they will overtake whatever
0:15
Speaker 1: operation you run and you will be miserable. You have
0:17
Speaker 1: to understand this. And yet somehow the president can't fire
0:23
Speaker 1: somebody in the in the in the executive level branch. Huh.
0:28
Speaker 1: I promised myself when I started doing the podcast, I
0:31
Speaker 1: wouldn't do stories like Supreme Court decisions and let's talk
0:35
Speaker 1: to legal experts and let God Almighty if this, if
0:37
Speaker 1: this podcast efferent becomes that just roll me out to
0:39
Speaker 1: the lake and let me get eaten by alligators. I'll
0:41
Speaker 1: never do that to you. But there's always there's always
0:44
Speaker 1: a there's always an exception. This decision, this argument by
0:48
Speaker 1: one of our Supreme Court justices yesterday was it was chilling.
0:52
Speaker 1: It was actually it was so stunning. It was chilling
0:56
Speaker 1: as she made an argument that the president can't fire
0:59
Speaker 1: somebody that deems him or herself an expert. I mean,
1:02
Speaker 1: it's just unbelieving, and it answers so many questions. If
1:05
Speaker 1: you've ever wondered why Washington is such a why we
1:09
Speaker 1: call it the swamp. Why nothing gets done while these
1:11
Speaker 1: people run for president with all these campaign promises, and
1:13
Speaker 1: they're great and they're great people, and they can they
1:15
Speaker 1: lead and take charge. Why nothing happens? So why they
1:18
Speaker 1: get compromised when they get into that position. This is
1:21
Speaker 1: exactly why. That's why we're talking about it, and a
1:24
Speaker 1: takeaway for real life too. You have to be able
1:27
Speaker 1: to fire whoever you need to. Anyway, that'll be the
1:29
Speaker 1: feature story. Also, some news get some good news about
1:31
Speaker 1: gas prices, and the internet is telling me it's National
1:34
Speaker 1: Christmas Card Day? What is that still a thing? I
1:38
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not the best person to talk about
1:40
Speaker 1: this actually because I've never actually sent one. But anyway,
1:43
Speaker 1: thanks for finding the Wicked Radio live stream. If you're
1:45
Speaker 1: listening later, it's not actually a live stream. It's the
1:47
Speaker 1: replay and audio podcast too. Every single channel where you
1:51
Speaker 1: like to go on the internet, you're gonna find this.
1:52
Speaker 1: And thanks for finding me. Let's get right to it,
1:54
Speaker 1: all right. Yesterday's decision and again this is a rarity.
1:56
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever gonna happen again. I never
1:58
Speaker 1: thought it would. The feature story today is about a
2:00
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice and a decision. Now, I'm not going
2:03
Speaker 1: to be one of those guys that gets into the
2:06
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't have the expertise. I'll give
2:08
Speaker 1: you the long and short of what's going on. First
2:09
Speaker 1: of all, there's an argument before the Supreme Court right now,
2:13
Speaker 1: big one about whether or not the president, the chief
2:16
Speaker 1: executive officer of our country, the leader of the free world,
2:20
Speaker 1: as the ability to fire someone in his well, not
2:25
Speaker 1: administration directly, but someone in his charge that he wants
2:30
Speaker 1: to fire. This is an actual argument. Now, if you
2:33
Speaker 1: run a Wendy's, if you're a manager of a restaurant,
2:36
Speaker 1: if you're anything, you understand you have to have first
2:39
Speaker 1: and foremost the ability to pick your people and your staff.
2:42
Speaker 1: But somehow someway not the president. Right, so we've the
2:46
Speaker 1: good news is and this actually is good news that
2:48
Speaker 1: this is being argued right now because it's that important
2:50
Speaker 1: that the president you should be able to do this.
2:54
Speaker 1: But what Judge Katanji Brown Jackson argued yesterday, I'm the
2:59
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. It was like I said, I said this
3:01
Speaker 1: in the introduction. I'm not trying to hype this up.
3:03
Speaker 1: I'm not this was so stunning. It chilled me that,
3:06
Speaker 1: first of all, somebody like this is on the Supreme Court,
3:08
Speaker 1: because I think we've got a real problem here. I
3:10
Speaker 1: think we have an activist judge. We've had them before.
3:12
Speaker 1: Maybe there's others too, not as bad as this. But
3:15
Speaker 1: her argument is just it's unreal to U. And they
3:20
Speaker 1: always have the audio. It's public information, so they have
3:22
Speaker 1: the audio. You can play. I'll play the audio and
3:26
Speaker 1: I don't know believe it or not. This applies to
3:29
Speaker 1: all of us too in life too. This is her
3:30
Speaker 1: argument about why experts remember that expert class we learned
3:35
Speaker 1: all about them during COVID. The experts can't be fired
3:38
Speaker 1: by the president. This is why Washington, d c. Is
3:42
Speaker 1: a mess.
3:42
Speaker 2: Some issues, some matter, some areas should be handled in
3:48
Speaker 2: this way by non partisan experts. That Congress is saying
3:54
Speaker 2: that expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy
3:59
Speaker 2: and transportation and the various independent agencies that we have.
4:03
Speaker 2: So having a president come in and fire all the
4:07
Speaker 2: scientists and the doctors and the economists and the PhDs
4:11
Speaker 2: and replacing them with loyalists and people who don't know
4:15
Speaker 2: anything is actually not in the best interest of the
4:18
Speaker 2: citizens of the United States. These issues should not be
4:21
Speaker 2: in presidential control.
4:23
Speaker 1: Oh boy, it takes you a couple of times to
4:26
Speaker 1: hear that. I won't play it again, But it takes
4:27
Speaker 1: you a couple of times to realize exactly my word
4:29
Speaker 1: for it, how chilling that actually is. So what she's
4:31
Speaker 1: saying is a couple of different things. Start at the
4:35
Speaker 1: end first, So people that the president would bring in
4:40
Speaker 1: around him are in her eyes because it's this president.
4:43
Speaker 1: You know, it's playing politics. Here are people that don't
4:46
Speaker 1: know anything and they're just loyalists. Okay, but let's talk
4:50
Speaker 1: about these experts. Who are these and I'm using finger
4:53
Speaker 1: quotes here. Who are these experts she's talking about? Oh
4:56
Speaker 1: those experts, you know them, don't you? You remember we
4:59
Speaker 1: heard all about the expert ets. What were we all told?
5:02
Speaker 1: I was told this personally and broadcasting. You were probably
5:05
Speaker 1: told this by your workplace. You were probably told this
5:08
Speaker 1: by maybe family members or your favorite news outlets. Just
5:13
Speaker 1: listen to the experts. Let the experts run the country.
5:16
Speaker 1: Let the experts. This is all about the experts. It
5:19
Speaker 1: was one of those propaganda lines that they all said
5:21
Speaker 1: the exact same way during COVID, Remember that not to
5:23
Speaker 1: take it back too far into COVID, but there was
5:26
Speaker 1: a lot of lessons to be learned. The experts. Who
5:28
Speaker 1: are these experts she's talking about? Who are these bureaucrats,
5:32
Speaker 1: unelected experts that wind up running our lives? Well, they
5:35
Speaker 1: are the Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Stanford eggheads that work in
5:43
Speaker 1: think tanks and they stint on committees and then they
5:48
Speaker 1: make more political friends and they wind up being appointed.
5:51
Speaker 1: You know, these are the actual loyalists. These are the
5:54
Speaker 1: loyalists that she was talking about, but she didn't refer
5:56
Speaker 1: to them as that. These and they wind up running
5:58
Speaker 1: your life. Same people who have never are no economist, experts,
6:04
Speaker 1: never ran a business, never responsible for a payroll, never
6:07
Speaker 1: started anything, not entrepreneurs. But now once you get that
6:11
Speaker 1: expert tag on, yet they are, they're experts and in
6:13
Speaker 1: her eyes, can't be fired. Who are the other experts?
6:16
Speaker 1: The egg heads who have never lived in real life,
6:19
Speaker 1: never went to a bowling alley, because they're they're a
6:21
Speaker 1: laite upper class. Never never turned a wrench, never fixed
6:25
Speaker 1: an never built anything with their hands. Are these are
6:27
Speaker 1: the experts that she says in the chilling kind of way,
6:31
Speaker 1: are unfirable at that level in DC. This is this
6:36
Speaker 1: explains so much. This explains many things. First and foremost,
6:41
Speaker 1: Like I said, why Washington, DC is a mess because
6:43
Speaker 1: it's overtaken by career bureaucrat quote unquote experts who want
6:47
Speaker 1: to run the country and run your life. We saw
6:49
Speaker 1: a real life example during COVID and exactly what those
6:52
Speaker 1: experts are capable of. They will take away your rights,
6:55
Speaker 1: they'll shut down your business, they'll keep your kids out
6:58
Speaker 1: of school because they're in a bubble, they're protected from it.
7:00
Speaker 1: They don't give a damn about you, me, or anybody else.
7:03
Speaker 1: And they always think they know better because they've been
7:06
Speaker 1: told their whole lives that they know better. And now
7:08
Speaker 1: you have a Supreme Court justice who's making an argument
7:11
Speaker 1: that says those experts cannot be fired. Well, let me
7:15
Speaker 1: tell you something, Like I said, if you're a manager,
7:18
Speaker 1: business owner, anybody, you have to have the ability to
7:22
Speaker 1: fire whoever the hell you want. You have to. You
7:24
Speaker 1: just have to because if you don't and if you
7:26
Speaker 1: don't have that ability, and if you don't learn that lesson,
7:29
Speaker 1: and no it's not fun. But if you don't have
7:31
Speaker 1: the ability to get rid of people, who aren't serving
7:35
Speaker 1: your leadership needs. Sorry, it's the way it goes. Or
7:38
Speaker 1: are aren't simpatico with where you want to go with
7:40
Speaker 1: an organization. You got to get rid of them. You
7:42
Speaker 1: just have to. You have to have the balls and
7:44
Speaker 1: the guts to be able to do it. Otherwise they
7:46
Speaker 1: take over and they and they pick you out and
7:49
Speaker 1: they knock you off, and you'll be the one gone.
7:51
Speaker 1: You have to have that ability. Now that's you and
7:53
Speaker 1: me and everybody else, and you know in our lives.
7:56
Speaker 1: Imagine a president, the leader of the free world, who
7:59
Speaker 1: doesn't have the to fire someone around him in this
8:03
Speaker 1: swamp of Washington, DC, even in the executive branch that
8:08
Speaker 1: doesn't serve the president's needs. Nope, I'm a bureaucratic expert.
8:12
Speaker 1: I can't be fired. That's a problem. That's why this
8:15
Speaker 1: case is so big. Normally I wouldn't bore you with
8:17
Speaker 1: Supreme Court cases, but this is a big one, a
8:19
Speaker 1: real big one. There's another takeaway on this, and this
8:22
Speaker 1: is important too. I think I've heard it said before.
8:24
Speaker 1: For a lot of the legal experts that look into
8:27
Speaker 1: this kind of thing, some of them have made Supreme
8:29
Speaker 1: Court arguments, have been in that position to argue before justices.
8:33
Speaker 1: And they've said something about this Catangie Brown Jackson before that.
8:37
Speaker 1: I've heard her called a DEI hire. She's incompetent, she's
8:40
Speaker 1: an activist. Fair question. Anybody that makes that argument now
8:45
Speaker 1: you have to ask that question why boy, And she's young,
8:50
Speaker 1: she's going to be there a long long time, and
8:52
Speaker 1: she obviously is an advocate for that bureaucratic class. That's
8:58
Speaker 1: a problem. So let's hope cooler headsil here. But the
9:00
Speaker 1: takeaway is in real life, for you and me and
9:02
Speaker 1: everybody else, you gotta be able to fire people. You
9:05
Speaker 1: have to have that power no matter where you are.
9:07
Speaker 1: And don't you know this is a bit of a stretch,
9:10
Speaker 1: but this does matter to you and me and our
9:11
Speaker 1: personal lives and businesses too, because if they make this
9:15
Speaker 1: decision that people who all of a sudden call themselves
9:17
Speaker 1: experts can't be fired, eventually someone could make the argument
9:20
Speaker 1: that you can't fire him because all of a sudden
9:22
Speaker 1: they put expert in the business card. Either if you're
9:24
Speaker 1: a manager or an operations director or a small business owner,
9:30
Speaker 1: it could have happened. It's an important argument. You got
9:33
Speaker 1: to be able to fire people. Speaking of incompetence. Let's
9:36
Speaker 1: go to the news. Now, remember this beauty. Remember the
9:39
Speaker 1: police chief of Washington, DC who didn't know what this
9:43
Speaker 1: particular term was. More on her. What the share of
9:45
Speaker 1: command is? Now? What does that mean?
9:48
Speaker 2: Well, is it pam bondis speaking from the does this work.
9:51
Speaker 1: So at the exactly what's the chain of command? Uh?
9:56
Speaker 1: What does that mean? That was here's the story police
10:00
Speaker 1: chief of one of our major American cities, Washington, d C. Again,
10:05
Speaker 1: her name is Pamela Smith, and she has resigned from
10:08
Speaker 1: that position. That's my favorite thing. That story was from
10:11
Speaker 1: when the National Guard took over DC because the crime
10:15
Speaker 1: was so bad on the streets and it was the
10:17
Speaker 1: big controversy. In one of the street interviews that with,
10:19
Speaker 1: a reporter asked her, well, okay, then what's the chain
10:22
Speaker 1: of command? Uh? What's that mean? Well, she resigned, but
10:29
Speaker 1: it's not Did she resign just because she was of
10:32
Speaker 1: retirement age now that she looks pretty young. Did she
10:35
Speaker 1: resign because she got a better job. She's going to be,
10:37
Speaker 1: you know, another bureaucrat expert somewhere and maybe in La No,
10:40
Speaker 1: that wasn't it. What is going on in Washington, d C? Now?
10:45
Speaker 1: That coincides with her resigning. Well, you may not have
10:49
Speaker 1: heard of this one, but there is a major investigation
10:52
Speaker 1: underway on the district fudging their crime statistics. There's the
10:59
Speaker 1: leash shocking news of all time. So there's an investigation
11:03
Speaker 1: underway of fraudulent crime statistics coinciding with the police chief resigning. Huh. Now,
11:11
Speaker 1: if you're somebody like me that has learned not to
11:13
Speaker 1: believe in coincidences, that should raise a red flag and
11:16
Speaker 1: a couple of eyebrows for you, because that's pretty interesting,
11:19
Speaker 1: and it also proves exactly what everybody with common sense
11:22
Speaker 1: was saying when the National Guard took over. What was
11:24
Speaker 1: the common line? What did they push on us? What
11:26
Speaker 1: did the fake news push on you? President Trump? And
11:29
Speaker 1: sists on sending the National Guard to Washington, d C.
11:32
Speaker 1: And that was the first city they sent it to,
11:33
Speaker 1: And then there was others obviously sending the Guard to
11:36
Speaker 1: National DC despite crime stats being down, safest the city's
11:41
Speaker 1: been in decades. Did anybody believe that line of horse crap? No,
11:46
Speaker 1: they did not, because it didn't jive. We also, even
11:49
Speaker 1: if you didn't go to DC a lot and saw
11:52
Speaker 1: it personally, you saw the street level videos from independent investigators.
11:56
Speaker 1: You saw the crime, You saw the interviews with residents
11:59
Speaker 1: saying I can't even walk to school, you know, safely.
12:03
Speaker 1: Real people who live there were talking about how unsafe
12:05
Speaker 1: that city has become in its history, the unsafest. And
12:09
Speaker 1: yet you've got officials at Talking Head news people telling
12:12
Speaker 1: you Washington, DC has never been safer. Nothing really jived there.
12:18
Speaker 1: There was something off and lo and behold, now you've
12:20
Speaker 1: got an investigation into them lying about the crime statistics
12:24
Speaker 1: as we all knew. Just use a common sense on
12:26
Speaker 1: that one. And now the police chief is resigning. Well
12:30
Speaker 1: put it this way, she doesn't have to know who
12:32
Speaker 1: the chaine of command is now or what that term means.
12:36
Speaker 1: Also headlines, there's some good news now again, I'll repeat
12:39
Speaker 1: this like I did over Thanksgiving. This is good news
12:41
Speaker 1: for your Christmas traveling holiday. I was told in the
12:44
Speaker 1: spring that no one was going to be able to
12:47
Speaker 1: afford gas prices to go see your loved ones for
12:49
Speaker 1: Christmas or Thanksgiving or Eastern or. I was told that
12:52
Speaker 1: gas was going to be so expensive in this administration
12:55
Speaker 1: because what surrounded by people that don't know what they're doing. Yeah,
13:00
Speaker 1: remember that that gas would be through the roof. Well,
13:03
Speaker 1: apparently it's under three bucks a gallon nationally. Now, this
13:07
Speaker 1: is gas prices are bizarre. It's you know, it's infuriating
13:10
Speaker 1: because it never seems to reflect supply and demand. And
13:14
Speaker 1: it'll change district by jail, but nationally, on average, it's
13:18
Speaker 1: below three bucks. This was from this one was Fox.
13:21
Speaker 1: Everybody has the story. This was Fox Business. Yerel. There's
13:23
Speaker 1: a gallon in June of twenty twenty two. That of
13:25
Speaker 1: course in the Biden administration two ninety five. Now investors
13:29
Speaker 1: all waiting. Hmm. That's another thing that didn't jive. I
13:34
Speaker 1: was told that no one would be able to afford gas. Uh,
13:37
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. All right, let's wrap it up with this.
13:39
Speaker 1: I am told by the internet to today. That's right.
13:42
Speaker 1: Today is National Christmas Card Day. Didn't know this was
13:47
Speaker 1: a thing. I'll be honest with you. I'm not the
13:49
Speaker 1: person who actually talk about this too much, but I
13:50
Speaker 1: need some filler. I've never sent a Christmas card, not once?
13:54
Speaker 1: Have you never once? Never sent one? Gotten a few?
13:57
Speaker 1: There are a few. There's still, oh boy, probably two
14:00
Speaker 1: people in our friend circle and family that's in the
14:04
Speaker 1: year end wrap up, you know, month by month not
14:08
Speaker 1: even online. It's like a printed out version of it.
14:10
Speaker 1: It's like, here's what we did in February. In March,
14:13
Speaker 1: we went to the Grand Canyon. So that's not exactly
14:15
Speaker 1: a Christmas card, but an actual written, handwritten Christmas card, which,
14:19
Speaker 1: let me get this out of the way, I think
14:20
Speaker 1: is very very nice. I think it's beautiful. I think
14:23
Speaker 1: a great thing to do. But do you have to
14:27
Speaker 1: do anymore? I mean, is this the thing you have
14:29
Speaker 1: to do? Anyway? It's a national Christmas Card day and
14:32
Speaker 1: Time dot com that's right, the online outlet of Time
14:34
Speaker 1: magazine has some advice for you. They've written an article
14:37
Speaker 1: called how to write the Perfect Holiday Card. Huh. Let's
14:41
Speaker 1: see what they say. Number one, Decide what kind of
14:44
Speaker 1: card you want to send? Yeah, okay, personalize it well,
14:48
Speaker 1: I would hope. So otherwise, why are you doing it?
14:50
Speaker 1: Unless it's like a sometimes you know who sends me
14:52
Speaker 1: the most Christmas cards? Car dealerships? I don't know why
14:55
Speaker 1: at a surprise, what kind of non perishable cash? I
15:02
Speaker 1: don't know? Include the date? Uh? Okay, decorate the envelope, yeah,
15:10
Speaker 1: insert it the correct way. Has this been a problem?
15:14
Speaker 1: Double check names? Yeah, that'd be something huh, this surprise
15:20
Speaker 1: decorated Christmas card and you get the name wrong or
15:23
Speaker 1: spell it wrong. Finally, don't worry if you get it
15:26
Speaker 1: out on time. Okay, this is where this is where
15:28
Speaker 1: this infuriates me. Then what the hell is the point
15:30
Speaker 1: of it? You know, well, set out a Christmas card,
15:32
Speaker 1: you get it in like February. That's junk mail. That's
15:34
Speaker 1: not okay. You know what I'm thinking. Don't waste your
15:38
Speaker 1: time in a Christmas card. That's my takeaway on this.
15:41
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't think I will. What's so bad
15:44
Speaker 1: about a phone call? Maybe you could do that instead
15:47
Speaker 1: of writing a Christmas card. People still write Christmas cards.
15:52
Speaker 1: I think are probably the same people who are still
15:53
Speaker 1: reading Time magazine. To be honest with you, who wrote
15:55
Speaker 1: this article, But you do you. I still think it's
15:58
Speaker 1: a nice thing to get one in the you know,
16:00
Speaker 1: I'll admit that, but I don't know never said one myself.
16:06
Speaker 1: Thanks for finding me. I appreciate you. Again. The takeaway
16:08
Speaker 1: from the featured story you have to have the ability
16:11
Speaker 1: at any level in life, whether it's you as a manager,
16:13
