One Leg Up On Making Receipts Work for You; Speaker Johnson Is a Common Sense Speaker 12-1-23 · OneLegUpAlex Media

Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, well we are on the
0:17
first of December. I can't believe we're in the twelfth month of the year.
0:21
But if I sound like I got shot out of a cannon, cause
0:25
I got some exciting news here on the Alex Garet podcast Network. While many
0:29
are backing away from X and saying this, that and the other, I'm
0:33
embracing it. I've actually just applied so many different notifications to different local outlets,
0:41
national outlets, and we're gonna be on top of the news, the
0:44
sports world and maybe even get some guest ideas out of all these post notifications
0:50
from various pages. And I highly recommend if you want to be in the
0:55
know, you log in to your ex account and uh and be notified and
1:02
get get going and get get knowing about what about the latest through your favorite
1:10
news sources, sports sources and whatnot. On that note, one account that
1:15
I follow and that I continue to work with is Fetch, And of course
1:22
Fetch is a receipt collector, meaning you get to take a picture or take
1:32
a snaps out of your receipt. You get points, so you make the
1:36
best out of her receipts and My theory coming to the holiday season with Fetch
1:42
is this, while we want to do the most good this Christmas season as
1:48
we do every year, why not put that good into points for yourself?
2:00
What I mean by that is if you go in and buy food for the
2:04
church pantry, or you go out and get clothes for the local clothing drive,
2:08
or however you do things and support others this Christmas season. Let's face
2:15
it, times are tough, so why don't we also take advantage of the
2:23
chances to also help ourselves out this Christmas season. It might sound selfish,
2:29
but hear me out because inflation right now is a three point five percent.
2:35
Because I think every penny counts in this economy, don't you? So why
2:40
not make our money work for us this Christmas season as we also how about
2:47
those really in need? It can work and if you snap your snapshots of
2:54
the receipts, you can get things like points on Unilever products. If you
3:04
spend twenty dollars on mix and Match offers through the Fetch app, you get
3:07
five thousand points. You even get right now three hundred dollars in gift cards
3:14
ten winners if you just enter on Instagram through the leader of the whole account,
3:20
Wes who founded Fetch. Right now on Instagram, you can be in
3:27
the running for a three hundred dollars gift card to either Target or pec Goo
3:31
And that's pretty cool. And that's the kind of stuff Fetch does for you
3:38
this and every season. So join us on the Fetch journey. Fetch your
3:44
receipts right now. And again, if you feel pressure, well how can
3:47
I make all these points? Well? Have it more naturally if you buy
3:53
something that's gonna be someone else, you two might be able to get also
4:00
a little little help in your own holiday season shopping through Fetch. Just download
4:09
the app and then of course you can utilize my code. There is a
4:13
code out there that I have and I'd love to share with you right now.
4:18
G one three m R four. You're going to see that on the
4:24
inbox below and the description below of this podcast. And I would say the
4:30
same with Upside. You know, if you out to family dinners, you
4:32
can always utilize Upside in the restaurant for cash back this Christmas season. It's
4:40
you've got a lot of ways to also help out yourself while giving to others
4:46
this holiday season. Because again we want to help out, but we also
4:49
have to recognize times are tough and if there's a way to help help ourselves
4:58
out well giving back, it can work. It's a weird paradox, I
5:03
guess you'd say, but Fetch makes it possible. Upside makes it possible,
5:08
and I definitely want to encourage you to join those apps today as we hit
5:15
the Christmas season, and of course if you get enough points, you can
5:19
actually then utilize it to get gift cards for loved ones as well. Through
5:26
Fetch. I mean they partner with a lot of brands, they really do,
5:30
so I encourage you to check them out right now, and while doing
5:35
the most good, you can also help yourself out as well. It might
5:44
sound selfish, but in the economy like this is getting an edge really selfish?
5:50
I don't think so, I really don't. And Fetch, Upside and
5:55
others like Survey Junkie help you get an edge this holiday season for sure.
6:01
Now, one little news bit today which I found interesting is okay, so
6:08
George Santos is getting expelled, But I want you to hear what Mike Johnson
6:14
said earlier this week. I mentioned the speaker before. I mentioned the speaker
6:17
before, but He literally is I would say, slow rolling the Biden impeachment
6:28
inquiry. And to me, that's not a terrible thing because he wants to
6:35
know the facts before they rapidly go after Biden. Remember remember the Trump impeachment
6:51
inquiries. Both of them seemed to be a bit rush, seemed to be
6:56
a bit politically driven, not so much fact based driven. So I'm glad
7:01
we have someone in power as a speaker that wants to literally slow things down
7:15
and figure it all out, figure it all out. He's common sense,
7:20
I think. And just take a little listen to what Speaker Johnson had to
7:28
say out his press conference this week. Thank you all for being here.
7:30
These are serious times and this is a very serious matter. And I've said
7:34
many times over the last few years, because impeachment has been an issue that
7:39
we've all become all too familiar with that next to the declaration of war,
7:44
you can make an argument that impeachment maybe the heaviest power that Congress holds.
7:48
That constitutional responsibility lies with the House. We have a duty to pursue the
7:55
facts where they lead. John Adams famously said facts are stubborn things, and
7:59
you heard her recitation of that here This morning. These facts are alarming.
8:03
They're alarming to the American people, they are alarming to us. And so
8:05
while we take no pleasure and the proceedings here, we have a responsibility to
8:11
do it. We're very proud of the work of these three chairmen that you've
8:13
seen here, Chairman Comer and Jordan and Smith. They've done an exceptional job
8:18
and uncovering the obvious corruption, and you've heard it here summarized this morning very
8:24
succinctly, President Biden and the Biden family. We owe it to the American
8:28
people to continue this process, but to do it methodically and transparently. Many
8:35
of you know I was I'm a lawyer, I'm a constitutional law attorney.
8:37
I served on President Trump's impeachment defense team twice and we lamented openly and we
8:43
decried how the Democrats politicized that process, they were brazenly political, and how
8:48
they brought those meritless impeachment charges against the president. This what you're seeing here
8:54
is exactly the opposite. We are the rule of law team. The Republican
8:58
Party stands for the rule of law, and the people in charge of this
9:01
are doing this thoroughly, carefully, methodically. They're investigating and gathering all the
9:07
facts. And to do this appropriately, and to do it in a manner
9:09
that upholds our constitutional responsibility, requires time. It requires a sound process.
9:16
You don't rush something like this. You can't if you're gonna have fidelity to
9:18
the Constitution. I'm sorry, Matt Gates. I am sorry mtg I am
9:26
sorry the blood thirsty Republicans that might be disappointed that Speaker Johnson is actually doing
9:33
the right thing, because they're so thirsty for someone's vote, they'll impeach again.
9:39
I will have to go do it again, just on a different party.
9:43
No, we learned twice with the Trump impeachments how much of a drainage
9:50
that was, and it led to nothing. So now Mike Johnson saying we
9:56
or will not rush it, Speaker, I think it's good that news is
10:03
not being made by the Speaker. You know why. It means he's doing
10:05
the right thing. It means he's not making waves. It means he is
10:09
doing things, as he said, methodically. My god, this guy should
10:15
be celebrated, because, you know, Speaker McCarthy was under a lot of
10:20
fire almost every day during his term. Bainer Holder, all of them have
10:28
fallen a bit short, don't got me started. I'm Paul Ryan. Okay,
10:33
but this guy, for the first time since I followed politics, sounds
10:39
like the most sensible speaker we've ever had. And that's why the media isn't
10:46
really covering him, Isn't it because they don't want common sense. They want
10:50
chaos. They want a chaotic speaker. They want someone who is gonna throw
10:54
themselves in the line of fire that might actually get voted out with one republic
11:00
one Congressman vote. They want that chaos. But what they should really want
11:05
is someone like Mike Johnson, Speaker Johnson who is laying out the facts and
11:13
saying, hey, we are going to go through this with no rush.
11:20
And by the way, he has also worked with Democrats to avoid a shutdown
11:24
in case it in here, in case it in here. So I'm sorry,
11:31
Maga Republicans that are so ready to get Bien out of office, they'll
11:37
do it just to rush it. Hey, isn't that what we saw with
11:39
Democrats? They just compiled a lot of things together to try and make a
11:45
point. They couldn't make a case for Trump's impeachment. Now you know,
11:52
Trump wasn't impeached twice, but it led to nowhere. It's a pretty bad
11:56
stain on him, that's for sure, but he really wasn't ousted. Now,
12:05
I think what Johnson's looking at is how can we really impeach the president
12:09
to make an impact on this presidency. So I am very happy that Speaker
12:20
Johnson is doing this methodically and thoroughly, so that our time isn't wasted,
12:24
our TV networks aren't flooded with horrors of an impeachment inquiry that seemed more politically
12:35
and less factually driven. I still say it's amazing how Biden literally sat there
12:45
at the Council of Foreign Relations and said, hey, you know what,
12:52
you know what I mean? Remember when he said this, Remember when he
12:56
said this about Ukraine. I had said for the longest time this needed to
13:05
be played a lot. But remember this, I said, you're not getting
13:13
a billion. Nine would be leaving here, and I think it was what
13:15
six hours. I look at I'm leaving it six hours. If the prosecutor's
13:18
not fired, you're not getting the money. Oh son of them got fired
13:24
and they put in place someone who they he pressured Ukraine. Yet Trump does
13:31
a simple phone call wanting to know, you know, just talking with his
13:37
landscape about certain things, and that all gets scrutinized. Biden says, I
13:41
got someone fired and held money over their head. So yeah, that is
13:50
pretty damning that cut. And I'm I'm just proud that our Congress sounds like
13:58
under Speaker Johnson will be, you know, back on track for better This
14:09
Congress and every Congress since you know, we've all become adults, here has
14:15
become an awful institution. At one point in Congress was nine percent nine percent,
14:24
okay, So I know that he was having reservations about kicking out George
14:43
Santos, but at the end of the day, I know he will come
14:48
around on that as well. And it's unbelievable to think in twenty twenty three
14:56
we've seen a speaker be a expelled and a congressman who lied about everything under
15:03
the sun expelled as well. But this one made more sense. Speaker McCarthy's
15:15
I think was a blessing in disguise because they finally have a common sense speaker
15:26
and I hope that pattern continues. So links below on all this stuff discuss
15:31
today, and we will talk to you soon on the Alex Garrett Podcast Network
