  Speaker 1: For the next hour. There will be no talk of
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: salmon sperm. I just I want to make that clear.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I want to make that clear. It's a mark thing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: That's not a me thing. I don't I don't get
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that at all. I couldn't ever do it. Or the botox,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: which is like the botchelism you put you put in
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: there to get rid of it. I could never do that.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you want to put a disease in your face
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to make it look.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: No, I mean I have I have a little vanity
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: like most human beings. There's some things about me that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I I yeah, I'm a little vain about, but I'm
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: not stupid vain, and I definitely would not be putting
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: putting stuff like salmon sperm or botox, botulism virus in
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: my in my body to make me look I like.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: The women who go to like South America and get
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: butt implants, but they're always like wrong and they get
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: an affection.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah you got a butt cheet gout by your shoulder
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: blade on one side, and yeah, that's that's not good.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: That's not good. Before I do get into I'm not
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: used to having calls. I give you the phone number
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show. But I'm not used
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to having calls before we are talking about them. That's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a little odd. But we've got somebody standing by here,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Andy who says he has a question from Andy. You're
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: on six ten level ETV at high.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Hey, Chuck gets Andy of FTE didn't kill himself name? Hey,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I just follow me on this.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: The FTEM files have been.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Redacted, correct, yeall largely all right, blacked.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Out with names and photos and like who the real
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: players are. So essentially there is a group of people
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: who actually know what happened, who's guilty, what transpired, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: those names in those events are not made public to us,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the taxpayers and the citizens. Yet in a congressional.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Hearing with Clinton and Hillary or killery is Electoryfertur, they're
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: answering questions on redacted files.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, is there something wrong in the answer?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Is it just me?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Well, they have a legend firsthand knowledge of these things,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you know, so we actually.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Know who the bad players are, but we're not letting
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It's almost like not letting the public know that there's aliens,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean they've got nothing though that is proving anything.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: That's the unfortunate thing, the pictures being taken, the name
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: being of, you know, appearing in an email or something,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that doesn't prove anything. What they need is one of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: those redected people basically to step up and say, yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: here's this person did this to me when I was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a teenager, forced me to do this when I was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a teenager. Those people, I'm finding it a little odd,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, something that went on so long, that was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: apparently so large, that some of those victims have not
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: come out of the redacted darkness to say I'm one
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of the victims. Here's what this person did to me.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: That seems strange.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: You know how I feel about the subject because we've
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: talked before, but all the same, I just find it
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: really odd and I'd like to hear other people's input.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: On this one.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll be talking I guarantee Andy, we
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: will be talking Epstein files more in the future. It's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: not over. It is not over. And I just saw
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: someone remarking on social media tonight that if you think
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the Ohio connection ends with Les Wexner, you're mistaken. So
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: there's probably some more dominoes to tumble on that too.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's just again right now. You got a lot of speculation.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And as I've said many many times, having your picture
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: taken with somebody his profession, his job, but his existence
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was to meet, to hobnob, to rub elbows, to introduce
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: this person to that person's That's what made him what
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: he was. That's why people threw money at him. So
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: getting your picture taken with him isn't necessarily an indictment
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: on you. Not any people have been called out for
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: traveling to this island, and even if they were, there's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: been nothing sort of you know, nothing but in your
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: window and speculation and who did what to whom while
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they were on that island. We need more clarity before
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: anybody could be taken to task. But if we can
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: get that clarity, yeah, start whooping them hard. And if
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you go after one, trust me, they will start ratting
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: out each other. Nobody wants to go down alone. Everybody
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: wants to be the first one to get the deal,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: so they will start ratting out each other. But it's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a matter of time, and I don't know how much
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of that we have because everybody wants everything right here,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: right now, and sometimes that can work. Again, most times
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that can work against us. Patience. Patience is a forgotten art,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: but it's sometimes it's the best friend you can have.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I wanted to talk a little bit tonight about the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: big story that's floating around. Allison covered it. It's on
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: all the TV news and the websites and the print
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: media and everything else about the state of Ohio and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the food stamps, the Snap, the EBT. I don't even
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: know they were food stamps when I was a kid,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: but they are Snap EBT now and I'm not sure
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: if it's Snap and EBT, snap or EBT or they
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: both mean. I have no idea, but what the state
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of Ohio is looking to do is to join some
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: other states. I forget how many are already do a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: twenty six. I believe that are not allowing you to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: buy snack food, sugary foods, things like that. And I've
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: had a philosophical problem with this basically since it began,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not just here in the state of Ohio, but began
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in general. People selling their food stamps. That's a problem.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I got a problem with that. Somebody using their food
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: stamps to buy, I don't know, buy a birthday cake
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for their five year old. I don't necessarily have a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: problem with that. Now. I don't think they should go
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to the store and come out with a grocery cart
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: full of kool aid and ice cream, but to eliminate
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: anything with sugar in it or any kind of snack food,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you're probably in some form of misery if you're getting
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: these benefits to begin with, Okay, you don't have the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: money to go out and buy the kid the new bike,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: or you know, it's a dilapidated living situation. Whatever. Things
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: are rough, things are tough. At least those are the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: people who should be receiving these benefits, not somebody driving in,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you know, a nice Cadillac CTS. But those people that are,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: they're challenged by life and they're hopefully trying to crawl
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: out of whatever hole they are in. Life is rough,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: does it really Although from a political standpoint you get
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to pound your chest and say, yes, we put controls
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: on this, does it really make sense for a kid
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: who otherwise is being good, going to school every day,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: getting good grades, saying you know, yes mommy, when when
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: asked to do something, to say we just we don't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: have the money for birthday cake or buddy, I'm sorry,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I can't buy the the generic chips that all need
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to put into your school lunch. I don't know. I mean,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I get what you're trying to do, but again, I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: think this is one of those things we're hot button
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and you take this giant swoop and you you do
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: some unexpected damage. But I'm not even here to argue
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the point on that. What I'm here because it looks
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like it's going to happen. I mean, it's for Zach.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Would you agree? Is it seems to be a foregone
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: conclusion this has happened? Okay? Here, what I contend this?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Would it be okay with you? If that food stamp
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: card were to act as a discount card on healthier options.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: If you can't buy the kids some soda, can you
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: get twenty five percent off the retail costs to the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: fruit juice instead, which in all cases is not necessarily
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: healthier than the soda is, depending upon the fruit juice.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But you see what I'm saying here, Instead of just
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: saying you can't have, maybe help make it easier to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: buy stuff that you can have that might in some
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: way replace what's being taken away. I'm just wondering if
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that's if that's even a consideration or if everybody just
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: wants to you know, we're in such a vengeful mode
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: when it comes to stuff like that. I understand again,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I understand the go but I am far more likely
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to jump on board with the effort to stop fraud
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and to take the endless spending away from government entities
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: more so than I am from broke people. And this
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: comes from somebody who is you know, I've been broke, broke, broke,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: broke broke, I've been well off, and I've been broke
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: broke again. So I get it. I understand. I have
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: been blessed in that I am kind of a locomotive
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and when things get rough, you get rougher. But not everyone,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: especially in twenty twenty six, not everyone is made from
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that timber anymore. And it's odd that while all kids like,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you know, stuff that's bad for them, that's the nature
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of being a kid. With my grandkids, they are obsessed
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: with water all the time. Can I get it? Drink
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a wh dick? Papa, will you give me some wat it?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why did if you children live in a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: desert the first few years of your life? Why is why?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: What's the water thing? But they want water more than soda,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: more than fruit juice, more than cool A want water,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: which I just find really odd. Anyway. It's not like
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I want to, you know, just get in the ring
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and go twelve rounds with you. But I'm just I'm
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: trying to think of alternatives that make sense if we're
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: going to have the program anyway, is there something maybe
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that we could do aside from just taking away from penalizing,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: something we can do that might make it better, healthier
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: for the families, for the kids especially that are up
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that are in need of it and using It'd love
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to get your thoughts A two one nine eight eight
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: six number E two ONEWTV and we'll start with Bob.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: You're on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: type hud Chuck.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I think the first thing that they should do is
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: take away all the sugaries products because at the health
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: how health hazard if overused, it leads to obesity, diabetes
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff, which is usually at the burden
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: of the tax payer if they're on the food stamps. Now,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: as far as giving a discount or something like that,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I buy a little school of hard knocks. I can't
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: afford orange juice because it's almost ten dollars a gallon.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So what do I do? I go without? It's just
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: something you do.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Do you like going without? I mean, is that a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: badge of honor? Is that a badge of honor for you? Bob?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Do you like being able to say, I just go without?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Is that the kind of person you are as a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: general rule? Or is that just the food partly.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: The principal because you know, I don't want to pay
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: ten dollars for a gallon of orangee yeah, I will.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I will have something that was three dollars a gallon
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: before COVID, you know, And they said it was the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: orange crops. But the orange crops they recuperated, but the
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: orange juice is still expensive. It's another quick thing. You
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: buy a bag of oranges, they're like two fifty three bucks.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: So what's up with that?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I just found in Aldi the other day they had
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: because I've been looking. I used to keep a bunch
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of frozen orange juice in the freezer because it was
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: so easy to put it in the pitcher mix in
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the water, have orange juice. And I remember paying eighty
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: nine cents to a dollar twenty nine or so. It's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: three ninety nine for a can of frozen orange juice.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Now, which get you half a gallon.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a two quart makes you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: two quarts if you want the orange juice thin. And
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: then now they've got their own thirty two ounce bottles
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that they look like the big national brand. I can't
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: recall what the brand name is on them though, but
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: they are I think three ninety nine most of the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: time when I go in there, and it's pretty good
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: orange juice. They got the heavy pulp, the light pulp,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the California style I think they call it. But if
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you ever, if you have an oldine nearby, go check
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that out, because that's seriously their their brand of orange
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: juice is prettydaggone good, and it's a lot cheaper than
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the big brands.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I have to give that a dry but just
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: you know, getting back to the thing, and I really
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: do believe, and I've said this for a long time,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: it's got the technology to do it. So you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: people are going to get upset, But we get upset
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: when our property taxes go up, So you know upsets
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: part of line.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: We yes, you're right, we get upset about it. We
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: get upset about things that we probably shouldn't and the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: things that probably should upset us. You know, we're too
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: busy watching what's on Survivor this week, and that's we
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: got to be better. We've really got to be better.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Bob, so thanks for the call, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to know that your nature to be, you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a pull up by your bootstraps kind of guy. I'm yeah,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I've always been pretty much the same way. Circumstance is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: what circumstances, and sometimes, like you said, especially since COVID,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that mountain is a high mountain to climb. And I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: do get the logic. I do get the reasoning behind
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the states saying no sugary drinks, no snack foods. But
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I also think of those situations where you know a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: parent died or there was a worse or whatever. There's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a young child and you know some single mom who's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: who's going to work every day, but she gets a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: couple of hundred bucks in food stamps every month, and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and she's stretching everything thin and trying to keep school
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: clothes bought and detergent to do, and and the kid
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: can't have a birthday cake. That just that that picture
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is in my head and I can't get it out.
