Wicked Radio 9-8: Hold Judges Accountable For Killers & Handling A 'Phillies Karen'! · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: Monday in America might be a tough Monday for a
0:06
Speaker 1: lot of people, not only because it was the first
0:09
Speaker 1: NFL Sunday and second full college weekend. You might be
0:12
Speaker 1: a little hungover today, little slow going. Totally understand that.
0:16
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. You'll get there. But there's a
0:19
Speaker 1: lot of tough stuff in the news today, and we're
0:21
Speaker 1: going to cover at least one of them, which is well,
0:23
Speaker 1: we'll have one big story and the other one is
0:26
Speaker 1: a little bit more lighthearted. But the first story is
0:28
Speaker 1: probably the most horrific story you could ever talk about.
0:31
Speaker 1: But the thing is, you got to talk about them
0:34
Speaker 1: before you lighten things up to make some changes, right,
0:36
Speaker 1: And here's the change you want to talk about today,
0:38
Speaker 1: which seems like a foreign concept until you see something
0:41
Speaker 1: like this happen, and maybe this is the light that
0:43
Speaker 1: comes out of the darkness. We have to start holding
0:45
Speaker 1: elected officials, and specifically judges and prosecutors accountable when the
0:53
Speaker 1: murderers that they let free, let go, let loose on
0:57
Speaker 1: the streets commit murders again and again and again again. Sorry,
1:02
Speaker 1: I know that's not the lightest topic to talk about,
1:04
Speaker 1: but something's got to be done. So maybe that's the
1:06
Speaker 1: light at the end of this. Maybe that's how we
1:08
Speaker 1: turn things around, start holding judges accountable. It's going to
1:11
Speaker 1: have to happen, and right now that sounds like a
1:13
Speaker 1: foreign concept. It won't be soon after this story and
1:17
Speaker 1: the story I'm talking about is the Arena Zaratzka story,
1:19
Speaker 1: which I am sure you've seen the video so far,
1:22
Speaker 1: and there is no way on God's green Earth I'm
1:24
Speaker 1: gonna show that video tea again. And the background is
1:29
Speaker 1: on a Charlotte, North Carolina relevant to the story. Not
1:32
Speaker 1: New York, not the South side of Chicago, not even
1:35
Speaker 1: Philly or Boston. Charlotte, North Carolina, an awesome city, on
1:40
Speaker 1: a light rail train. The video security video from it
1:43
Speaker 1: got released now, which my guess is you're a follower
1:47
Speaker 1: of me, and you're you know, you're aware of things
1:50
Speaker 1: going on. You've seen this video already where this poor
1:53
Speaker 1: girl who's Ukrainian by the way, she's a refugee. More
1:56
Speaker 1: on that in a second, was stabbed to death on
1:59
Speaker 1: the train by a lunatic sitting behind behind her, completely
2:03
Speaker 1: totally random. And this is truly one of those cases
2:05
Speaker 1: where it could have been. You can't say this about
2:06
Speaker 1: every story, but you can about this one. This literally
2:09
Speaker 1: could have been you. This could have been me. It
2:12
Speaker 1: could have been your wife, It could have been your husband,
2:13
Speaker 1: It could have been your daughter, It could have been
2:15
Speaker 1: your son. It could have been your cousin, It could
2:16
Speaker 1: have been your neighbor, and anybody. This could have happened
2:19
Speaker 1: to simply because she sat down on a light rail
2:21
Speaker 1: train in front of a lunatic who had been released
2:24
Speaker 1: fourteen times into the community violent offenses. By the way,
2:29
Speaker 1: it's got to change and people who do this continually
2:32
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. I have my theories and you do too,
2:35
Speaker 1: but they have to be held accountable. I'm talking about
2:37
Speaker 1: the judges. We'll talk about Arena because her name needs
2:40
Speaker 1: to be spoken, not the scumbag killer. We're not going
2:42
Speaker 1: to talk about him, but we'll talk about her, and
2:43
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about of course, this is the
2:45
Speaker 1: lighter side of things. Interesting enough, both of these stories
2:50
Speaker 1: which have made headline news, not in the mainstream media,
2:53
Speaker 1: but headline news regardless, because now we are the media,
2:57
Speaker 1: the Phillies Karen, they're talking about her. A lot of
2:59
Speaker 1: confusion about the loose ball situation, trying to get a
3:02
Speaker 1: foul ball at baseball games, they try to clear this
3:05
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and you gotta this should be
3:07
Speaker 1: a lesson to all of us and how to deal
3:08
Speaker 1: with the phillies. Karens. They're talking about it because boy,
3:13
Speaker 1: you do something like that and now you gotta be
3:14
Speaker 1: caught on camera. But first of all, welcome to Monday.
3:17
Speaker 1: I'll hopen Monday's not too rough for you so far.
3:19
Speaker 1: Extra finding the Wicked Radio live stream becomes a podcast
3:22
Speaker 1: on replay on every single media channel you could possibly find,
3:26
Speaker 1: including the audio channels that they should be in here.
3:28
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, all right, let's get right to it.
3:30
Speaker 1: Like I said, there's no way, there's no way I'm
3:34
Speaker 1: gonna play that video. And there's not a less sound
3:37
Speaker 1: of the security camera. Now it happened to earlier, but
3:39
Speaker 1: now the security camera from the Charlotte, North Carolina light
3:42
Speaker 1: rail got released of twenty three year old Arena Zorotsky
3:46
Speaker 1: getting stabbed to death in the neck by a scumbag
3:48
Speaker 1: behind her. Again, I just say, if you're just joining
3:51
Speaker 1: us right now, I know it's a big story, but
3:53
Speaker 1: this is little you can't say about every case. This
3:57
Speaker 1: is literally a story that could have been any one
3:59
Speaker 1: of us, or any one of our daughters or sons
4:00
Speaker 1: or anybody, because it's completely random. A total lunatic was
4:04
Speaker 1: sitting behind her with a knife, decided to stab her
4:06
Speaker 1: in the neck, and she's dead. It could have been anybody,
4:10
Speaker 1: and it has to stop. So here's the thing behind this,
4:16
Speaker 1: as horrifying as that is. First of all, a little
4:19
Speaker 1: bit more about her, beautiful girl twenty three years old.
4:22
Speaker 1: An immigrant by the way, Oh, isn't that interesting to
4:24
Speaker 1: the story. A Ukrainian immigrant. Ukrainian girl looking for a
4:28
Speaker 1: better life in here, landed in Charlotte, North Carolina. Thought
4:31
Speaker 1: she'd take the light rail in a beautiful, awesome city
4:34
Speaker 1: like Charlotte and nothing would be fine. Probably took it
4:37
Speaker 1: dozens of times before that. Right. If this isn't proof
4:40
Speaker 1: positive that violence is everywhere, it can happen to anybody,
4:44
Speaker 1: I don't know what is. And yet you'll still have
4:46
Speaker 1: those people in your life, or certainly in the mainstream media,
4:49
Speaker 1: who will tell you that it's so over hyped and
4:51
Speaker 1: Trump's America. It is not. They're trying to tell you
4:54
Speaker 1: that violence is it okay? That argument is gone. And
4:57
Speaker 1: anytime anybody comes up to you and says the violent
5:01
Speaker 1: crime isn't as bad as they're saying. You can't believe
5:04
Speaker 1: what you're reporting. Okay, anytime anybody says any garbage and
5:08
Speaker 1: nonsense like that, explain to them right away and know yourself,
5:14
Speaker 1: in your own heart, in your own mind, the violence
5:16
Speaker 1: is everywhere, and point them to the story of Charlotte,
5:18
Speaker 1: North Carolina. But most likely somebody that would say that
5:22
Speaker 1: is not going to know about the story. They're not because,
5:26
Speaker 1: you know why, the people that say that are just
5:28
Speaker 1: following this propaganda, ridiculous cover up mainstream news. Let's go
5:32
Speaker 1: to it. Let's see if the people who would say
5:35
Speaker 1: that to you that they don't believe the crime is everywhere.
5:37
Speaker 1: Let's see if they know about the story of young
5:40
Speaker 1: twenty three year old Arena Zarotska murdered on a light
5:43
Speaker 1: rail train for no reason whatsoever. Let's see if they
5:45
Speaker 1: know about it. No, they probably don't. They probably think
5:49
Speaker 1: you're making it up. You know why, because that person
5:51
Speaker 1: is still following corporate media, which is broken, it is corrupt,
5:56
Speaker 1: It is intentionally keeping stories like this out of news.
5:59
Speaker 1: Why because the murderer was black. That's why. That's why
6:04
Speaker 1: it needs to be said. That's exactly why. Well, let
6:07
Speaker 1: me check. Maybe it's different. Let me give them the
6:09
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. Maybe from Saturday on when the
6:11
Speaker 1: whole world started to see this video, to Sunday to
6:13
Speaker 1: this morning on Monday, maybe it's changed. Maybe because the
6:16
Speaker 1: story was so horrific and so many people are aware
6:19
Speaker 1: of it now on social media, so many people understand
6:21
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Maybe it's covered this morning. Let me check, No, no,
6:27
Speaker 1: it's not. There. AP zero, PBS, zero stories, New York
6:33
Speaker 1: Times no coverage, and PR no, no Wall Street Journal nothing.
6:38
Speaker 1: BBC didn't cover the story. CNN course, no stories, Washington
6:43
Speaker 1: Post no, Reuters didn't have an MSNBC. I'm not gonna
6:47
Speaker 1: have the story of the deadly attack on the Charlotte
6:49
Speaker 1: light rail train that murdered this girl, of course, not
6:51
Speaker 1: so the people that are that clueless, that have no
6:53
Speaker 1: idea and still believe what those propagandas in the media.
6:56
Speaker 1: And this is why there's such a target of my
6:58
Speaker 1: ire every single day because they do this. I know
7:01
Speaker 1: how the sausage is made in the media. That's why
7:03
Speaker 1: I get so mad at them, and until we complain. Now,
7:05
Speaker 1: it's less trust than ever in mainstream media, less than
7:08
Speaker 1: ever and that's that's a good start, but there's still
7:11
Speaker 1: enough people that believe them and think that they're telling
7:14
Speaker 1: them the truth that we're not fixing the problem. All right.
7:19
Speaker 1: First of all, President Trump is now aware of the
7:21
Speaker 1: issue now that this got out everywhere, because you know,
7:24
Speaker 1: smart people who don't rely on corporate media for their
7:27
Speaker 1: news stories. They're aware of it, and it got to
7:31
Speaker 1: the president. He didn't wasn't aware of the exact story yet,
7:34
Speaker 1: but he knows now because they brought it to his attention.
7:36
Speaker 1: This was at Andrew's Air Force Base Joint Base. I
7:39
Speaker 1: think it was just about to get on Air Force one.
7:41
Speaker 2: Multiple minds on a Charlotte subway.
7:43
Speaker 1: You've seen this video and do you have any reactions
7:45
Speaker 1: to it? Yeah? Where was the subware? Was where she
7:49
Speaker 1: was in Charlotte on a light train? She's got multiple times.
7:52
Speaker 2: By the horrible Now, I haven't heard.
7:56
Speaker 1: When did this happen. It happened in August, but the
7:58
Speaker 1: video just came out.
8:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see the video.
8:01
Speaker 1: He wasn't completely aware of the story and putting it
8:03
Speaker 1: all together, and this is early on in the weekend,
8:05
Speaker 1: but he knows now, he absolutely he had already seen
8:07
Speaker 1: the video. He didn't make the connection that that where
8:09
Speaker 1: that was and what it is, So now it has
8:11
Speaker 1: national attention. Again, ignore those stupid media outlets because they're
8:16
Speaker 1: just absolutely useless. And you also, I'll go this far,
8:19
Speaker 1: ignore the people you know in your life that follow
8:21
Speaker 1: those useless news outlets, because here's a concept that's actually happening.
8:25
Speaker 1: One of the amazing little nuggets that was discovered when
8:29
Speaker 1: they looked into when the Doge team, you know, big
8:32
Speaker 1: Balls in the others, under Elaun's direction, looked into USAID
8:37
Speaker 1: the money laundering operation that they were using for this
8:41
Speaker 1: to advance stories worldwide that we were funding with our
8:43
Speaker 1: tax money. One of the things that came out in
8:45
Speaker 1: one of the documents was them talking about a term.
8:49
Speaker 1: They wrote it because they never thought we'd find out
8:51
Speaker 1: strategic silence they called it. Now, what's strategic silence? When
8:55
Speaker 1: they want to push a certain narrative for whatever reason.
8:59
Speaker 1: I don't know why they want to destroy society. I
9:01
Speaker 1: don't know why did they want to destroy the West?
9:02
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they do when they want to
9:04
Speaker 1: push a certain narrative or get something out of the news,
9:11
Speaker 1: like the Charlotte lightrail murder of Arena Zarotska, they'll employ
9:16
Speaker 1: strategic silence, and it's all laid out right there. They
9:19
Speaker 1: found it in the USAID documents where they work with
9:21
Speaker 1: their media partners to censor and bury a story. You're
9:24
Speaker 1: seeing that happen in real time right now, it's still happening.
9:28
Speaker 1: But here's what changed. We have the information now. You
9:31
Speaker 1: know how Elon always says we're the media now, well,
9:34
Speaker 1: it's true. Would we have known about this story if
9:38
Speaker 1: we didn't have Twitter turning into X all the other
9:42
Speaker 1: social media outlets that are out there, all the great
9:44
Speaker 1: independent journalists that all have podcasts now and they all
9:47
Speaker 1: go online and they do their live streams and they
9:49
Speaker 1: let us know exactly what's happening. Wouldn't know about the story.
9:52
Speaker 1: This is why they're losing and the people are winning now.
9:56
Speaker 1: Speaking of Elon, he's the guy that brought this up
9:59
Speaker 1: as well. He's the guy that actually, because he's got
10:01
Speaker 1: the biggest X account, he owns their company. He's the
10:04
Speaker 1: guy that got this story out there and it picked
10:05
Speaker 1: up and it's everywhere now. But the murder of this
10:08
Speaker 1: poor girl, of the scumbag behind her that randomly stabbed
10:11
Speaker 1: her to death fourteen times released fourteen times, all of
10:15
Speaker 1: them violent crimes, by the way, all of them. Now,
10:18
Speaker 1: who's the judge responsible for this? We should find out
10:21
Speaker 1: because again what's my theme today. We need to start
10:24
Speaker 1: holding these judges and these prosecutors accountable from murderers they
10:27
Speaker 1: let on the streets. We have to start. Well, you
10:30
Speaker 1: can't do that. That's such a foreign concept to people.
10:33
Speaker 1: Judges need to rule without fear nor favor. Yeah, I
10:37
Speaker 1: agree with you. Are they doing that now in this
10:40
Speaker 1: kind of case? No, they're not. This scumbag was released
10:43
Speaker 1: onto the streets in it was a city like Charlotte, North Carolina,
10:46
Speaker 1: only to commit murder for some reason. Who knows if
10:50
Speaker 1: we'll ever figure it out. But they release them for
10:52
Speaker 1: some unknown reason, and they and they do it under
10:55
Speaker 1: the guise of underprivileged mental illness, had a problem. Help
11:01
Speaker 1: them out, have a heart, No no more hearts. Get
11:04
Speaker 1: the killers off the streets, and the judges and prosecutors
11:08
Speaker 1: and elected officials that are responsible for this need to
11:10
Speaker 1: be held accountable. Well, here's the judge. I'm not going
11:14
Speaker 1: to talk about the murderer's name, but the judge's name. Well,
11:17
Speaker 1: in January twenty five, Judge Teresa's Stokes allowed him to
11:20
Speaker 1: be released on no cash bail. You know what that means,
11:24
Speaker 1: you just go, you just go. Oh, well, we'll bring
11:27
Speaker 1: in later on for hearing it a trial, right, good
11:31
Speaker 1: luck finding him. Last month, his public defender questioned his
11:34
Speaker 1: mental capacity. Oh you know what that means. You question
11:37
Speaker 1: your mental capacity? That means you get free, rein to
11:40
Speaker 1: do whatever the hell you want to do. Judge Roy
11:42
Speaker 1: Wiggins ordered a forensic evaluation while allowing the dirtbag killer
11:47
Speaker 1: to remain free. Isn't that something judges in DA's prosecutors
11:51
Speaker 1: need to be held accountable. And now this is an
11:53
Speaker 1: idea that is caught on with everybody for the most part.
11:56
Speaker 1: But I'll take it a step further because let's talk
11:58
Speaker 1: about the mayor of this fire, and this is how
12:01
Speaker 1: it happens, and this is how they erase victims time
12:03
Speaker 1: and time and time again. The judge of Charlotte, North
12:06
Speaker 1: Carolina has to release a statement at some point, right,
12:08
Speaker 1: because so many people are talking about it. Well, here's
12:12
Speaker 1: her statement. We will never arrest our way out of
12:16
Speaker 1: these cases. Issues such as homelessness and mental health. Let
12:23
Speaker 1: me be clear, I'm not villainizing those who struggle with
12:26
Speaker 1: their mental health or those who are unhoused. Isn't that interesting? Well,
12:33
Speaker 1: poor twenty three year old Arena Zaratska has been unlived.
12:37
Speaker 1: She's dead because of your policies, and you need to
12:40
Speaker 1: be held accountable. But now she made a statement only
12:42
Speaker 1: because her elections coming up soon. You know that's what
12:44
Speaker 1: it is. You want to hear more? Would you like
12:46
Speaker 1: to hear more of the story. She's kind of upset
12:51
Speaker 1: that it got out. She's upset because it got out
12:53
Speaker 1: right ahead of her new reelection campaign. Here's another part
12:56
Speaker 1: of the statement, the video of heartbreaking attack that took
12:59
Speaker 1: Arena's Rotzka's life. She mentioned her name. At least that's
13:03
Speaker 1: good it's been made public. I want to thank our
13:05
Speaker 1: media partners and community members who have chosen not to
13:10
Speaker 1: repost or share this footage out of respect for Arena's family.
13:12
Speaker 1: That's not out of respect for Arena's family. That's out
13:15
Speaker 1: of respect for a re election campaign where you want
13:17
Speaker 1: to be re elected another useless mayor in another city
13:20
Speaker 1: where not enough of us paid attention. And that's another
13:23
Speaker 1: thing that has to stop. We have to start paying
13:24
Speaker 1: attention to look at your county, look at your city,
13:27
Speaker 1: wherever you are in the country and look at who
13:30
Speaker 1: your prosecutor is, look at who your mayor is, look
13:32
Speaker 1: at who the city commission is. Even as far down
13:34
Speaker 1: as like the local city commissions. It's not the most
13:37
Speaker 1: exciting thing in the world. And I get it. We're
13:39
Speaker 1: all trying to live lives and live business and raise
13:43
Speaker 1: our kids. I get it. But your entire livelihood is
13:46
Speaker 1: at stake because of lunatics like this, And it happens
13:49
Speaker 1: all the time, and none of us would have known
13:51
Speaker 1: about it if this video hadn't been released. It happened earlier.
13:54
Speaker 1: But the security camera's out there. She's dead and now
13:57
Speaker 1: aware of it. And now this crazy concept of holding
14:00
Speaker 1: judges and DA's accountable is out there. It's been released
14:02
Speaker 1: into the wild, and it's gonna grow, and it needs
14:05
Speaker 1: to happen. It's crazy right now. It's not gonna be
14:08
Speaker 1: soon because the more people for whatever reason why they
14:13
Speaker 1: worked so hard to bury this story. And the only reason,
14:16
Speaker 1: by the way, how this round up on social media
14:18
Speaker 1: is because it's public access. It's public access for the
14:22
Speaker 1: light rail system, taxpayer funded train to be released into
14:25
Speaker 1: the world. Otherwise would we have known this story. Nope.
14:28
Speaker 1: If Elon hadn't bought Twitter and turned it into X.
14:30
Speaker 1: Would this have been censored? Yep? You know what else happened?
14:34
Speaker 1: Would you like one more? I'll lighten it up soon,
14:36
Speaker 1: I promise you know what else happened? One more sick
14:38
Speaker 1: little elemented to this. We talked about the strategic silence
14:41
Speaker 1: of the media to bury stories like this, and the
14:43
Speaker 1: mayor not given a damn about the victim, but she
14:47
Speaker 1: cares about the unhoused, right, you know what else happened?
14:51
Speaker 1: But finally common sense came to light and people stood
14:53
Speaker 1: up against it. There was a go fund me after
14:57
Speaker 1: this happened. There was a go fund me for the
14:59
Speaker 1: scumbag that's stabbed Arena in the neck. It just got
15:02
Speaker 1: taken down yesterday, but it made it that far until
15:05
Speaker 1: people found out about it. A GoFundMe to pay his
15:07
Speaker 1: legal fees. We all have our theories. I don't know
15:11
Speaker 1: why people want to tear society apart. They just hate
15:14
Speaker 1: They just hate the West, and maybe it's something more
15:16
Speaker 1: sinister than that. Maybe there are the countries involved that
15:18
Speaker 1: are trying to tear a country apart. But that's the goal,
15:20
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. And by the way, just
15:24
Speaker 1: one more element on this before we start to take
15:26
Speaker 1: some action on it. Arena Zarotzka. I try to mention
15:28
Speaker 1: her name as much as possible, because people like that
15:31
Speaker 1: mayor of Charlotte are trying to erase her. Arena Zarotzka,
15:35
Speaker 1: who was twenty three, a Ukrainian immigrant to our country.
15:40
Speaker 1: Just as a little social experiment test today, for all
15:43
Speaker 1: the people you know in your life, people you follow,
15:46
Speaker 1: any anything you see, this would mostly be on a
15:49
Speaker 1: Facebook thing. I would imagine people who have Ukrainian flags
15:53
Speaker 1: in their bios and have since the war broke out,
15:58
Speaker 1: look to see if they're even aware of this. It'll
16:02
Speaker 1: tell you where they get their information, those corrupt corporate
16:05
Speaker 1: news outlets, or are they digging up and finding out
16:09
Speaker 1: what the real news is from the independent journalists. Look
16:12
Speaker 1: to see, Look to see if they've said anything about
16:14
Speaker 1: Arena Zara that's good. A Ukrainian girl came to this
16:19
Speaker 1: beautiful young girl twenty three, came to this country looking
16:22
Speaker 1: for a better life, probably escape that war zone. Well
16:24
Speaker 1: now she's dead. So if the people who have Ukrainian
16:27
Speaker 1: flags in their bios and they were so, they were
16:30
Speaker 1: so upset about the war, as you should be nobody
16:33
Speaker 1: should be in favor of war. Look to see if
16:34
Speaker 1: they said anything or are even aware of her story
16:37
Speaker 1: as you got murdered in Charlotte, look to see if
16:39
Speaker 1: they're aware and if not, it's pretty fair to ask
16:42
Speaker 1: the question, do you only care about Ukrainians that are
16:44
Speaker 1: killed overseas or do you not care about Ukrainians that
16:47
Speaker 1: are killed in our country on a light rail train,
16:50
Speaker 1: on a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina. It's got
16:54
Speaker 1: a change, it has to change, and you got to
16:56
Speaker 1: start and say noe. First of all, the personal safety
16:59
Speaker 1: issue is obvious. You know, try to sit away from
17:03
Speaker 1: anybody to suspect, and don't feel bad about suspecting somebody
17:06
Speaker 1: you think might be a little bit shady. That's the
17:07
Speaker 1: other thing too, That's that's the other thing they're trying
17:10
Speaker 1: to blame, you know, they try to blame people for Oh,
17:13
Speaker 1: if you'd want to sit next to somebody you think
17:15
Speaker 1: is homeless, you're racist. No, No, I'm just have common sense.
17:18
Speaker 1: That's what it is. So don't ever feel bad about that.
17:21
Speaker 1: So the personal safety issue is one of them. And
17:24
Speaker 1: the second thing is be aware of what's in your community.
17:27
Speaker 1: Who the elected officials are. And the third thing, the
17:29
Speaker 1: big issue we all need to tackle. And this is
17:31
Speaker 1: a big thing and it'll get done eventually, it will
17:33
Speaker 1: if enough of us rise up. You gotta hold these
17:36
Speaker 1: judges and these and these prosecutors accountable. This is ridiculous.
17:39
Speaker 1: This can't happen anymore anyway, God bless her and her family.
17:43
Speaker 1: Poor girl. All right, I gotta lighten it up. That
17:47
Speaker 1: was You can't, boy, you can't find a heavier story
17:50
Speaker 1: than that, poor girl. But we're gonna try. And this
17:53
Speaker 1: is a little laughable, but still it's an issue that's
17:55
Speaker 1: happening more and more. And ironically, isn't it funny? The
17:58
Speaker 1: Arena Zaratzka story was caught on video camera. Now the
18:01
Speaker 1: world knows about it. So was the Phillies Karen. First
18:06
Speaker 1: of all, I think it's so unfair to call anybody
18:09
Speaker 1: you don't like that you see caught on a video
18:11
Speaker 1: situation or in a store of Karen. I always feel
18:15
Speaker 1: bad for the ladies that are actually named Karen. You
18:16
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like, hey, what's your name? Karen? Oh?
18:19
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's become like some you know, derogatory term
18:22
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. Anyway, that's what they're calling her.
18:26
Speaker 1: The story is the start of the weekend. It was
18:28
Speaker 1: in Philly. It was a Phillies I think they were
18:30
Speaker 1: playing the Marlins or whatever. We all know what happened
18:32
Speaker 1: by now, because this is like worldwide foul ball territory.
18:37
Speaker 1: Comes in between Phillies Karen and this dad with his
18:40
Speaker 1: two kids. He runs over, grabs the ball. We'll get
18:42
Speaker 1: into like the rule, and I think it needs to
18:44
Speaker 1: be seated at this point. We gotta start like laying
18:47
Speaker 1: out a ground rule and something that's socially understood for
18:49
Speaker 1: what happens in a foul ball and who's is who's right?
18:51
Speaker 1: But let's get to it first. Here's the coverage from
18:54
Speaker 1: the Phillies broadcast when it happened that led to the
18:57
Speaker 1: whole issue. And ball hit the fan.
19:00
Speaker 2: Ah, the Phillies fan came in and she's he stole
19:04
Speaker 2: it from another Phillies fan.
19:06
Speaker 1: Oh, she can't believe it. WHOA. Oh yeah, yep, all right,
19:14
Speaker 1: now you can see if you're if you're watching the
19:16
Speaker 1: video right then I'm sure you've seen this because this
19:18
Speaker 1: has been replayed a million times over the weekend. So
19:21
Speaker 1: he runs over, grabs the ball and you'll hear his
19:23
Speaker 1: side of the story in just a second. Of course,
19:25
Speaker 1: she comes screaming over the Now the dad's in a
19:28
Speaker 1: tough spot because he's with his kids. He had already
19:31
Speaker 1: given the ball to his son. Now I guess it
19:33
Speaker 1: was birthday or something. I don't know like that, and
19:35
Speaker 1: she comes over screaming at him, and you can see
19:37
Speaker 1: his reaction. He goes oo. So he was kind of
19:41
Speaker 1: like taking off guard in this situation. Right, all right,
19:44
Speaker 1: it needs to be stated. You don't ever run over,
19:47
Speaker 1: and we've seen examples of this this summer, this baseball season.
19:50
Speaker 1: You don't ever take a ball out of somebody's hand.
19:52
Speaker 1: But he's being criticized because he ran over and it
19:54
Speaker 1: was the general area. Now, look, I've been to it
19:59
Speaker 1: has to be grids at baseball games at this point
20:01
Speaker 1: in my career, in my life, I'm old. Now, it's
20:03
Speaker 1: like I've been to a lot of games all over
20:05
Speaker 1: the country too. The general rule, as I've understood it,
20:09
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm wrong, and correct me in the comments
20:11
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, is if it's bouncing around. Is most
20:14
Speaker 1: foul balls hit like the concrete or a seat, and
20:16
Speaker 1: they're bouncing, it's fair game. For everybody. No, you don't
20:19
Speaker 1: punch anybody. No you don't push him out of the way.
20:21
Speaker 1: But he didn't do that. In his side of the story,
20:23
Speaker 1: it was between him and where she generally was. He
20:27
Speaker 1: grabbed it first and gave it to the kid. Here's
20:30
Speaker 1: his side of the story. Now that now that we've
20:32
Speaker 1: seen Philly Karen. Of course, immediately he started doing some
20:35
Speaker 1: interviews and he's talking about this now when you listen
20:37
Speaker 1: to him, he's got a compelling case.
20:39
Speaker 2: Seats trying to snag a ball for his birthday week
20:42
Speaker 2: and as soon as it cracked off the bat, it
20:48
Speaker 2: was starting to head our way a little bit. So
20:50
Speaker 2: I walked to my right, walked to my right, walked
20:53
Speaker 2: to my ear, and I thought, oh crap, it's coming.
20:56
Speaker 2: And I walked down a couple of seats and it
20:59
Speaker 2: fell and kind of bobble between the two armrests, and
21:02
Speaker 2: I picked it up, and as I was pulling away
21:05
Speaker 2: got two other hands came, and I mean I didn't
21:09
Speaker 2: didn't really care at that point. I just walked away
21:11
Speaker 2: and held the ball up high and put it in
21:14
Speaker 2: Lincoln's glove and was hoping he'd be on the you know,
21:18
Speaker 2: the mega trond TV or whatever. And then she showed up.
21:22
Speaker 1: Oh, she showed up all right, screaming in his face.
21:26
Speaker 1: No apparently. And this was this was caught on video
21:28
Speaker 1: after the fact too. This is what made her really unlikable.
21:30
Speaker 1: As she's going back to her seat, people always jump in.
21:33
Speaker 1: This is the other thing that's crazy too. Just because
21:35
Speaker 1: this is a kid in the section doesn't mean the
21:37
Speaker 1: kid automatically gets the ball. Not this case, but other cases.
21:40
Speaker 1: So all the Phillies fans, remember it's Philly, start yelling
21:43
Speaker 1: at her and giving her our time. She's giving the
21:45
Speaker 1: finger to the other people, and she's just just unlikable
21:49
Speaker 1: all the way around. But a lot of criticism has
21:51
Speaker 1: come to the dad because he gave her. He did
21:54
Speaker 1: gave her the ball. Now, Phillies did, the Phillies organization
21:58
Speaker 1: did the right thing, and they gave the kid a
21:59
Speaker 1: bad and you know, whatever they want. They were fine
22:03
Speaker 1: because this was caught on camera. If it wasn't, it
22:05
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been a different story. We wouldn't be talking
22:07
Speaker 1: about it. Okay. But here's the thing you got to remember.
22:12
Speaker 1: Get out of your mind, right or wrong in this case, Okay,
22:15
Speaker 1: just think about the dad or if you happen to
22:17
Speaker 1: be a mom in this situation. Like I said, he
22:20
Speaker 1: is in a tough spot, but he did give the
22:22
Speaker 1: ball up. Here's the thing. You can't give in to
22:26
Speaker 1: a crazy I'll use the term too, a crazy Karen
22:29
Speaker 1: like this. You can't do it. It's bad, it's a
22:31
Speaker 1: bad look. You can't do it. Give the ball to
22:34
Speaker 1: the kids, have him hold it, and stand in between
22:38
Speaker 1: as she's losing her mind because she was already in
22:40
Speaker 1: a crazy, hyped up state. And just as a life tip,
22:44
Speaker 1: if she's already worked up and you refuse to play
22:46
Speaker 1: along and you just sit there silently and don't deal
22:49
Speaker 1: with it, she would have gotten even more worked up.
22:51
Speaker 1: Security eventually would have taken her away and you would
22:54
Speaker 1: have won. The country would be behind you, and your
22:57
Speaker 1: kid would still have the ball. Now it worked out
22:59
Speaker 1: for them. But even if you agree with her that
23:02
Speaker 1: it was in her section originally, even though I would
23:04
Speaker 1: disagree with you because the balls bouncing around, the bottom
23:08
Speaker 1: line is you can't. You can't give into a crazy
23:10
Speaker 1: lady like that or a crazy person. You can't do it.
23:12
Speaker 1: You just I don't know, you can't. I understand. The
23:14
Speaker 1: dad was like, you know, and she freaked him out.
23:16
Speaker 1: I get it, but you can't back off like that.
23:20
Speaker 1: You just can't tough call for us to say Monday
23:23
Speaker 1: morning quarterback and though because she was nuts. But anyway,
23:27
Speaker 1: but I think the solution to this, maybe we're gonna
23:30
Speaker 1: have to come up with some ground rules, ironically enough
23:33
Speaker 1: for foul balls bouncing around, and maybe it should be this,
23:37
Speaker 1: balls bouncing around anywhere in foul territory in the stands,
23:41
Speaker 1: anybody's game short of pushing somebody, don't do that. But
23:46
Speaker 1: if somebody catches it legally fairly, it's their ball. Could
23:50
Speaker 1: we agree? Does this keep the peace?
23:52
Speaker 2: No?
23:52
Speaker 1: Probably not, But anyway, bottom line is you can't. You
23:58
Speaker 1: can't give it the ball. You can't back down like that.
24:00
Speaker 1: All right, whatever? Eankt for finding me in the Wicked
24:02
Speaker 1: Radio list dream. I'm sorry that first story was so brutal,
24:04
Speaker 1: but we have to do something about it. We have
24:06
Speaker 1: to hold judges and prosecutors accountable for murderers, and maybe
24:10
Speaker 1: this is the spark. As horrific as this story, I
24:12
Speaker 1: can't think of a more horrific story or video. It's
24:14
Speaker 1: why I didn't play it than the murder of Arena
24:17
Speaker 1: z Orotzka on that train. But we got to turn
24:20
Speaker 1: that darkness into something positive. And maybe that's it in
24:23
Speaker 1: the long run, because pretty soon it's not such a
24:24
Speaker 1: crazy idea to hold these public officials accountable for letting
24:27
Speaker 1: murderers loose on the streets. Maybe maybe that's the takeaway.
24:31
Speaker 1: But be aware, it's only Monday. Thanks for hanging out
