  Speaker 1: Hey, it's the bonus segment of the podcast. You podcast listeners,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we really appreciate it. And you get an extra bonus
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: show every weekend. So, you know, everybody's moving to Florida.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: That's all you hear. Everybody's moving to Florida. Well, you know, actually,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: everybody was moving to Florida. Now you're getting a lot
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of North Carolina, South Carolina. But where are more New
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yorkers moving now? Especially the baby boomers. You know, that's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: usually the ones that leave, the older ones. But... Where
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: are the baby boomers flocking to now? It's on the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: East Coast. It's got beaches. It's got very low taxes. Now,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you'll never guess. It's Delaware. Yeah, Delaware. In fact, in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the last few years, 40,000 people have left New York
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and moved to Sussex County, Delaware. A lot of baby boomers. Now,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: they like the low taxes. They got very low taxes.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: They have sandy beaches, a lot of oceanfront properties, very
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: cheap down there. but because all these New Yorkers and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: their baby boomers, they all moved down there. The population
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of the County is 17% higher. That's five times the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: rate of normal national growth over the same period. The
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: population got older residents, 65 or older, I guess it's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: baby boomers, 65 or older has gone up 23% more
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: than any other state. And that's all these people flock
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: into Delaware. Uh, It is Delaware. I mean, you've got
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to live next to the Bidens. But unlike being all
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the way down south, you're pretty close. You could easily
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: drive to Philadelphia. You could easily drive to D.C. Not
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: so easily, but you can drive to New York. You're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: pretty close to New York. You could take a plane,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but it's really you could drive back. It's a quick
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: train ride. So here's one woman, Annette, 60-year-old Long Island native.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: She said, I've been to Florida in the summer. It's brutal.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Florida in the summer for many, many months is a nightmare.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So that's the other reason. In Delaware, you've got pretty
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: good weather all year long. You're on the coast. You've
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: got a beachfront home. A lot of people looking at
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Rehoboth Beach. It's a great Delaware beach resort type of place. But, again,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that's where Joe Biden has a home. I mean, the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: most awful sight. Can you imagine walking down the beach?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There's Joe Biden in a bathing suit. Hey. Relatively low taxes.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Property taxes are extremely low. For instance, if you were
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey and your property tax was $ 18, 000, $ 1, 500
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in Delaware, less than one-tenth. So if you're one of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: those people looking to get out, just take a better
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: look at Delaware. You never know. Speaking of Biden, when
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: he pulled out of Afghanistan, that was about the ugliest
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: thing in American history. It was so ugly, military-wise. That
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: was the worst military operation ever. That was the most embarrassing,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: humiliating disaster. Now, it's years ago. It's actually the fifth anniversary.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It's five years ago. But even though everybody forgot about it,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: there's a documentary coming out. It's called Path to Zero.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal putting out this documentary. And apparently, they
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: were able to get a lot of footage of what
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: happened in Kabul as they pulled out. You remember, 13
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Marines were killed, 170 civilians were killed. And we've never
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: seen this footage before. It's really, really ugly. So you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: might see this documentary just take off and it's really
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: going to be bad for Democrats. That's when Biden had
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that awful defense secretary. What was his name? Lloyd Austin. Horrible.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, nice guy, but a horrible defense secretary. Totally unqualified.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And the pullout was absolute disaster. You know, you're supposed
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to get all the civilians out. You're supposed to evacuate
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: your embassy personnel. All these citizens, civilians are going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: evacuate them first. Then at the very, very end, the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: military very carefully pulls out. Biden did it the other
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: way around. He had the military leave first. They close
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: up the base. They close the military left first. Then
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they had to try to go back and rescue all
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the stranded office workers and embassy people. It was insane.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It was the stupidest operation ever of Lloyd Austin, if
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you ask him, and he's kind of a dopey guy anyway,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: but he said, you know, Biden just ordered it that way.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Just ordered it. So it doesn't look good for anybody.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: This documentary just further destroying the already horrible reputation of
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Hey, the new iPhone is coming out September 9th.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That's like right after Labor Day weekend. Labor Day weekend,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then like two days later, or maybe it's that Tuesday.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It's the new iPhone. They're going to launch it. You know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: there's a new CEO. Tim Cook has stepped down. There's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a new CEO of Apple, John Ternes. So this will
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: be his first big event. And the new iPhone, as always,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is going to have a much better camera. It's going
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to have a much better battery. It's going to be faster,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: all that normal stuff. But the big thing is they're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: expected to introduce a foldable iPhone. Samsung already has one
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of those. So it's like your iPhone, but then you
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: can fold it open and the screen doubles in size.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So you have a big screen, like the size of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a tablet. So this has been the rumor. Can't confirm it,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: but the rumor now, heavy rumor out of there. They've
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: got the foldable phone. Samsung and Galaxy, they've had that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: for years. The reason the iPhone didn't do it, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: notice when you got the Samsung or the Galaxy, it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: foldable and looks great. But you can slightly see a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: little seam in the middle, just slightly, if you hold
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it a certain way. Well, Apple did not want to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: do a foldable phone unless they could absolutely get rid
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of that seam. And if this is true that it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: coming out, that means they succeeded. They figured it out. Now,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: expect some price hikes on the phones because the price
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of chips has gone up. There's been a shortage. There's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: been supply chain disruptions. But if they do have this
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: foldable phone, it's expected that they'll quickly sell 17 million
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of these. You realize what a major operation Apple is.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, as big as you think it is, it's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: even more complex. Can you imagine having to manufacture 17
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: million phones in a couple of months? Well, apparently they're
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: going to do it. Hey, Bill Gates, I don't know
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: what he's up to. You never know what this guy's
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: up to. I think he's trying to distract from his
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Epstein problem by he's suddenly writing a controversial article editorial. Now,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: who published it? You're saying to yourself, well, was it
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal? Was it in the New York Times? No,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: nobody published it. He put it up on his website.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: That's how ruined this guy's reputation is. He couldn't get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: anybody to publish his big editorial. So he put it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: up on the website. It's about AI. He is sounding
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the alarm on AI, why it'll be massive unemployment, bioterrorism.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he's talking about. He said, quote,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it's the most dangerous tool ever invented. So does he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: forget that everybody said this when he was inventing windows
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and computers and all that stuff? Everybody said that was
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: going to be dangerous. Everybody said that would put everybody
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: out of work. But Gates writing 6,000 word essay, 6,000 words.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: No wonder nobody published it. He said, many jobs will
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: disappear forever. Yeah, well, that's a problem. But that's everything.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's what happened with computers. That's what happened with iPhones.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: That's what happened with a lot of stuff. Jobs disappear. Hey,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: speaking of jobs, you know, when you go to order
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in McDonald's or Shake Shack or you go to order someplace,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: instead of going up to the counter and talking to somebody,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: there's a kiosk. And you hit the buttons on the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: menu and you order what you want on the kiosk
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and then you just go pick it up. Now, a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: lot of people think the reason for the kiosk is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to put people out of work. If everybody comes in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and orders with the kiosk on the screen, then they
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: don't need to hire people to take your order. That's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: not the reason they're doing it. Now, believe it or not,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: these fast food places quickly discovered that if instead of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: standing at a counter ordering to a person, you can
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: do it alone privately on the screen, you'll order more.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You'll generally spend 10% or 20% more money. That's why
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they're pushing these things. Because think about it, when you're
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: ordering in line, talking to somebody, there's a line behind
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you and everybody's grumbling and you're in a hurry. And,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you know, the woman said, is that it? Is that it?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Is that it? And you go, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But when you're alone looking at the screen and the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: screen not only says, would you like to add this?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And it shows you a picture. There's a big picture
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of it. It looks great. So, of course, you say yes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And there's a yes and no button. But the yes
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: button is made much bigger. The no button is made smaller.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: They've got all these psychological tricks. But they find when
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you don't have to do it in front of anybody,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: when you're alone, you'll order more. When there's no line
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: behind you pressuring you to hurry, you'll order more. That's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the real reason for those screens. Hey, speaking of fast food,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: do you ever go to Burger King? Nah. McDonald's, Wendy's.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: You look at a Burger King like, not as good. However,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Burger King is changing that. You know, last year they
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: fixed the Whopper up a little. They got a premium bun.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: They got much better mayonnaise. It's in a box container
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: instead of a paper wrapper. It's not so soggy. Suddenly
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the Whoppers were a little better. Same store sales surged 8.5%.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So now they actually surpassed Wendy's for the first time.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It's the second biggest burger chain. So starting next week,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they're going to improve the chicken nuggets. They're going to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: make those better. They're going to have a better lineup
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of sauce. They're going to make them a little better.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And it's expected they'll take off even more. Now, let
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: me ask a simple question. Why the hell didn't you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: do this years ago? If you could have made the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: burger better, if you could have had a better bun,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: why the hell didn't you do it back then? What'd
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you wait till now for? hey, are you worried about sleeping?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: A lot of people have trouble sleeping. And a lot
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of people, as they get older, they can't sleep as much.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe you used to sleep eight hours, but as you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: get older, you'll notice it's like six hours, you wake up.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And they say, if you research this, the doctors, experts,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: they'll say, as you get older, you need less sleep.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: As you get older, you need less sleep. So six
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: hours as you get older. But there's a couple new
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: studies out that show that a couple of major studies
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: show that there was no reason for the eight hours
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of sleep. It sounds good. But they went back and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: they studied people before everything was invented, before there were
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: alarm clocks, before there were phones, before there was any
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: modern technology. And they went back and looked way, like
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: thousands of years ago, what was the natural time for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the human body to sleep? Well, it was about six hours.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: In fact, they could study it now because they went
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to parts of Tanzania and Namibia Bolivia, where people have
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: no technology, nothing, and there's no lights and no electricity.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: How much would a human sleep naturally? And it was
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: between 5.7 hours and 7 hours. So six, six and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a half hours. That's actually what people would normally sleep.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And they went back and they studied pre-industrial society. People
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: slept an average of six and a half hours. That
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: was normal. That was normal body clock. So if you're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: only sleeping six, six and a half hours, don't worry
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: about it. There's actually now scientific studies saying that might
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: be the natural time to sleep. Hey, Nancy Pelosi and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: her family, her husband, they're investing heavily in AI stocks. Now,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: why am I telling you this? Well, because she's the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: most successful investor in the history of the world. Remember
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: her track record, she's up like 7,000% in her portfolio.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: All right, now it's all insider trading, but I assume
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: she's still doing the insider trading. So heavy, heavy multimillion-dollar
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: investment in AI companies. So take it from the most
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: successful trader in history. Apparently, bet heavy on AI. So
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: don't resist it. Bet heavy on it. Hey, our buddy
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Mike Lindell, you know, he lost in Minnesota, lost the election.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And he yelled and screamed that we're going to have
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a recount. He'll personally... personally spend a million dollars on
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this recount. Well, there's no recount because apparently he wouldn't
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: cough up the money and he did not file, file
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the paperwork in time to actually do this. Now we
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: love Mike Lindell. He's a very nice man. I don't think,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he has the money right now,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: but he had a deadline to meet. He did not
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: file the paperwork in time and you have to pay
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a fee. He didn't pay the fee. So there will
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: be no recount. That's it. Sorry. Hey, This has been
• 13:16
