  Speaker 1: God bless you for letting us be of service to you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I want to be What do I mean? What do
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I mean? How many days? How many days have I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: been telling you don't listen to the media about green Line, Greenland?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And I have to be careful. My wife is from
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: this little town on Long Island called green Lawn. But
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: aside from those folks who may be listening to us
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on fourteen ninety in Greenlawn, how many days now have
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we been trying to debunk the media's narrative regarding Greenland
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and what the president's intentions were And how you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: faster than you can say, Hunter S. Thompson and Edmund Muski,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: we had been fed this ib again that the press
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was running us out Trump is and they were doing it,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And I really I don't want to make bigger government.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: But I feel like every Republican that holds office anywhere,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: could be on your school board, should have a Trump
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: watcher just twenty four to seven. Their only job in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: your office is to watch Donald Trump, so that when
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you are asked, if you're a Republican, you're going to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: be asked, mister schoolboard president, what do you think about
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: what President Trump said about in Greenland?
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: Ah?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And of course it goes on to the front page
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of your local paper, school board president, in favor of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: invading Greenland. This is why we need to restrict what
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: can be taught in school about January sixth. That's a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: true story too. Most forty four states have restrictions on
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: what teachers can teach about January sixth, twenty twenty one.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And the way the FCC is acting towards Jimmy Kimmel,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, just wait till we get to the moment
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of this hour where I take up for Jimmy Kimmel
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and lots to get into that we told you so.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And I am loathed to say I told you so,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: but we told you so, that this whole Greenland thing
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was Ibbygane all over again, and kids Google, Hunter s Thompson,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Edmund Muskie and Ibbigaine. It was a made up phony,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: baloney's story. And what happened was Mike Johnson and anyone
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you know, every Republican in Congress, congressman you know, was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in you. What do you think about what the Trump
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: said about invading Greenland? Wow, we're gonna pass it. Rand
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Paul and Tim Kaine wrote legislation to stop President Trump
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: from doing something he never said he was going to do.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: A reporter said, would you would you rule out military
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: incursions into Greenland if if you can't get a deal,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and he said, well, you know, you can never rule
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: anything out. Headline the next day, Trump says he'll invade Greenland.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And then you've got Rand Paul, whose father must be
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: somewhere in Texas, face palming over this, and Tim Kaine.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You ought to know there's trouble when Tim Kane shows
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: up writing legislation to stop Donald Trump from doing something
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he never said he wanted to do. Oh, it's such
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a time. We'll get to you on the phones in
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a moment of four three four eight eight two four
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: two one seven. But we must, we must get our
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: first things out there for you so the deal is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: NATO is going to oversee Greenland. President Trump said yesterday
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: they're going to be in the Golden Dome. They're going
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to be in mineral rights, and so are we. When
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: asked by the gatherings of the World Economic Forum, slowly
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: wiping the egg off their faces, the President was asked,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: how long is this deal going to go on? He
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: said forever. Meanwhile, Delsi Rodriguez, Venezuelan's interim president. I mean
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: she was named president by the Supreme Court. Can we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: stop calling her that? Or I guess there's some legality,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: some election or whatever that she'll face off and all
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of a sudden she'll lose to Machado. You heard it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: here first. And yes, President Trump is playing cutesie about
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: supporting Machado so that she doesn't look like a US puppet.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Back in Venezuela, Rodriguez does as she is coming to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the United States to speak to the US government. Doesn't
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: say whether that includes Donald Trump or not. Voladimir Zelenski

  Speaker 1: Hi, how are you? That's what It's really a power.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: What's on your mind?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Because you know, we all have our own self determinations.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And that's the difference between you know people, is that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you know there are people and I feel for them,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the sadness where they feel like their life is devoid
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of purpose until they've made you do something, they've made
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you comply with their worldview. Then they've accomplished something, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: it's sad. It really, it really is sad. This is
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: from Charles' email to JT in the Morning Radio at
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: gmail dot com. Ban the Span. It sounds like those
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: things I used to see in the New York City subways.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Watched the GAP. After seeing span Burger in action and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hearing Bryce Reeves this morning, I think we can safely
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: say that Span Burger is a Potempkin centrist soccer mom.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm delighted that the SPAN wants illegal alien criminals
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: such as murderers, rapists, child molesters, and human traffickers to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: live among us here in Virginia. But I'll bet none
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of these would get within two hundred yards of the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Governor's mansion. So well put, Charles, Thank you, sir, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Four three four eight eight two four two
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: one seven kareem. On the subject of Ibigain and greenlawn Land,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: any chance Greenland becomes the largest joint NATO base on
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the planet, I don't know what is DraftKings dot Com
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: taking as the over under on that, I would say,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: odds are You're looking at the biggest NATO base on
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the planet and they can all use all this stuff.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: This is the thing about the whole scenario, and the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: reason I was comparing it to Hunter S. Thompson and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Edmund Muski and Ibigan is because it was all narrative,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: created and driven by the press who were insistent that
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump was going to invade Greenland and arrest all
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the Greenlanders, and he was going to invade Denmark. And oh,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I mean the hair on fire stuff that was coming
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: out of the never mind, the crazy places, what do
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: they say, don't stick your browser? And crazy man what
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: they were saying on the View and places like that,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And here we are NATO. And it started with Mark
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Root at Davos yesterday morning saying I don't know Trump
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: was right. Trump's right about national security and the Russian
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: bases up there in the Northern Passage and all of that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Kareem goes on to right the rest of the EU
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: countries elbowing their way in or even invited, not just US.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I think the US wants the other NATO nations in there.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Let me get some phones in here at four three
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: four eight A two four two one seven. Good morning.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Who's this?
• 16:44
  Speaker 19: Hey?
• 16:44
  Speaker 20: This is Moscow, Bob, and it's late afternoon here in Moscow.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Well that's it. I've gotten it all right, hold on
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to the question. Nancy's ahead of you. I just wanted
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to get to acknowledge your phone call. There. Nancy, our
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: friend with the Convention of States project is on the phone. Well,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: this good morning, Nancy. How are you doing today?
• 17:03
  Speaker 17: Good morning, Joe. Longtime no talk.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure I offended you in some way, shape
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: or form, so I understand, not at.
• 17:11
  Speaker 17: All, not at all. I've been meaning to call to uh,
• 17:17
  Speaker 17: remind everybody about the Convention Estates project and to thank
• 17:24
  Speaker 17: you for your support. We are very close. We we
• 17:28
  Speaker 17: are very close, if not already at the twentieth state
• 17:34
  Speaker 17: for Kansas.
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: Right, yeah, because.
• 17:41
  Speaker 19: Because of.
• 17:43
  Speaker 17: They're illy unconstitutional requests that you have a two thirds
• 17:52
  Speaker 17: vote on the Article five resolution. But I was spurred
• 17:59
  Speaker 17: on after you're talking with price threes and you all
• 18:05
  Speaker 17: mentioned the fact that states need to do something, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 17: this is what we need to do, and that is
• 18:15
  Speaker 17: called for an amending Convention, which is the second clause
• 18:21
  Speaker 17: in Article five a way to amend the Constitution because
• 18:26
  Speaker 17: the states are going to continue to go rogue. More
• 18:31
  Speaker 17: and more people are going to leave Virginia, which is
• 18:34
  Speaker 17: just frightening.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, and people say, what
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: was the states rights issue? At what point does defending
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the life of a citizen become any government's right? I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: think you know, if somebody tried to kill you, Nancy,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the federal government would have some say about it. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: know that jurisdictionally, they have to be asked in if
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: somebody crossed state line to go do it. But if
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the case is daunting, Leo's constantly call in the FBI,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: who have more forensic tools at their capacity to help
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: them solve crimes and to protect and to find those
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: who are putting lives in danger. I see the protection
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: of life at the core of this, the protection of citizens.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I think you know, one of the great ways I
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: would like to catfish these people into defending life is
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to convey a vote onto the unborn fetus, so that
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: as long as that child is under the age of
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: eighteen and living with its mother, that mother gets a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: proxy vote for that kid. And you would find you
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: would find politicians falling all over themselves to defend the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: unborn because all of a sudden, there's a vote. See,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: those kids don't matter. The unborn baby doesn't matter to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a politician because it's eighteen years before it's ever going
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to be able to vote. So let's do that. But
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: so you're suggesting, you know, a convention, the one we're
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: working on the twentieth State doesn't have abortion in its call,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: but to call one for you know, this specific purpose.
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 20:25
  Speaker 17: Well, now if you're going to get into that, you
• 20:29
  Speaker 17: get a problem with the Constitution, because the Supreme Court
• 20:36
  Speaker 17: did send it back to the states. And I'm all
• 20:39
  Speaker 17: again once again for states' rights. But your point is
• 20:43
  Speaker 17: well taken about making somehow making the unborn baby part
• 20:51
  Speaker 17: of a vote because we are we are no longer
• 20:55
  Speaker 17: a Judeo Christian nation. We are godless, or maybe we're
• 20:59
  Speaker 17: only forty percent godless, but we are headed in the
• 21:05
  Speaker 17: wrong direction. This is incredible. And again back to Virginia specifically,
• 21:17
  Speaker 17: Virginia already has an abortion availability up to twenty six
• 21:25
  Speaker 17: weeks and five days and viability is twenty one weeks.
• 21:31
  Speaker 17: What do you think they are doing? And it's not
• 21:34
  Speaker 17: just Virginia, as you all got into with Five's Reeves.
• 21:39
  Speaker 17: As soon as a progressive legislature gets in, they are
• 21:44
  Speaker 17: very likely to do this. Why have Yeah, well, we
• 21:49
  Speaker 17: have to have the world's most unrestrictive abortion amendment. Killing
• 21:57
  Speaker 17: they've infantaside.
• 21:58

  Speaker 1: Home is permanence. There is nothing in Western civilization more
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: important than property ownership, and we have fallen away from that.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: This is why, if you look at all the reasons
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Marxism is on the march, one of the most important
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: ones is that we have lost the ability to own
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: real property, some of it to the hands of government,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: who to make it as onerous as possible to have
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: real property in your name, and somebody standing in the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: breach against it. The President loves his bill, said so
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: last week he's going to be going out on tour
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: starting in the spring, pushing affordability, and I bet you
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the American Dream Act is going to be part of that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: The author of same as John McGuire, Virginia Congressman John
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: First and foremost. I appreciate what you've done to not
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: just help people over the next few years, but I hope,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: if we're smart and conservative, that we can use your
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: bill to point to exactly why regressive taxes like capital
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: gains taxes don't help anyone but actually wind up hurting
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the country. How are you doing this morning.
• 29:50
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I'm doing great, And you know, I think we're
• 29:53
  Speaker 23: getting ready for Giny for a lot of snow to hit.
• 29:55
  Speaker 23: But I got my shovel and my chainsaw and my
• 29:58
  Speaker 23: toes strap ready, and I don't remember. I don't know
• 30:01
  Speaker 23: if you remember the last ice storm that had they
• 30:04
  Speaker 23: canceled my entire calendar, which you know, my days are
• 30:07
  Speaker 23: pretty full. So I went out there and cut trees
• 30:10
  Speaker 23: and dragged me out of the roads, and I sent
• 30:13
  Speaker 23: pictures to the electric co ops and they said it
• 30:15
  Speaker 23: helped them.
• 30:16
  Speaker 19: Get their bucket trucks.
• 30:17
  Speaker 23: I'll tell you the woman I was shoving her driveway
• 30:20
  Speaker 23: and she said, I didn't vote for you, but I
• 30:21
  Speaker 23: appreciate you doing my driveway.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: It's the best part of it. But you know, we
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: got a snowstorm pretty recently, pretty heavy snowstorm all the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: way up through the first Tuesday in November. We got
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: snowed pretty good, John, as we found out over the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 30:39
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I think you're right. I mean it's crazy. I
• 30:40
  Speaker 23: mean it's so funny. The Democrats, Stamberg are talking about affordability.
• 30:45
  Speaker 19: The Democrat Party.
• 30:46
  Speaker 23: Wants to tax and spend you out of existence and
• 30:49
  Speaker 23: overregulate you, and the Republican parties cut taxes, cut regulations.
• 30:54
  Speaker 23: Going back to the American Dream Act, the American Dream
• 30:57
  Speaker 23: has always been own the home right, and the problem
• 31:00
  Speaker 23: with the new next generation is they're becoming lifelong renters.
• 31:04
  Speaker 23: So one day I just recalled President Trump and I said,
• 31:07
  Speaker 23: you know what, it's kind of hard to be a
• 31:09
  Speaker 23: socialist if you own property. And he said, you got
• 31:13
  Speaker 23: that right, because socialism and communism take your property. And
• 31:18
  Speaker 23: so I gave this idea. I spent three months in
• 31:20
  Speaker 23: the district. Every time I ran into somebody twenty years old,
• 31:25
  Speaker 23: thirty two years old, I asked them two questions, Do
• 31:28
  Speaker 23: you own a home or do any one of your
• 31:30
  Speaker 23: anyone your age, you know, own a home?
• 31:32
  Speaker 19: And almost every one of them for three months said no.
• 31:35
  Speaker 23: And it used to be home ownership under the age
• 31:38
  Speaker 23: thirty two is like twenty percent in America. Now it's
• 31:41
  Speaker 23: on this way closer to the one percent. And so
• 31:45
  Speaker 23: the proposal was, or it is. It says, if you're
• 31:47
  Speaker 23: age sixty five or older and you sell your property
• 31:52
  Speaker 23: to a first time buyer, which is ninety eight percent
• 31:55
  Speaker 23: of the time someone under age thirty two, it was
• 31:57
  Speaker 23: a five year moratorium on capital games. You know, when
• 32:00
  Speaker 23: you graduate a trade school or you graduated university, you
• 32:04
  Speaker 23: probably can't afford a million dollar house, but you might
• 32:07
  Speaker 23: be able to put some dollars together and get a
• 32:09
  Speaker 23: two hundred and fifty thousand dollar house, fix her upper
• 32:12
  Speaker 23: and maybe start a family, maybe build institutional wealth and
• 32:16
  Speaker 23: have a future.
• 32:17
  Speaker 19: So we're trying.
• 32:17
  Speaker 23: To give the younger generation an opportunity, a piece of
• 32:21
  Speaker 23: the piece of the pot, seat at the table, help
• 32:24
  Speaker 23: them build a future.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: That's so true. And you know when you look at it,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and I know the abstract beyond it is is capital
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: gains tax a good tax? And I would argue no.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, if we can do without it for five years,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: we could probably do without it for longer than that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: And if if it's stopping people from buying homes, then
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: why are we doing it? And we look at you.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: We were talking about the snow job. We got it
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in Virginia leading up to the gubernatorial election. One of
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: their proposals is to create like a secondary capital gains
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: tax on unrealized growth, So if your home goes up
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: in value, they can tax you simply on the value
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: that your home has gone up, even beyond your property taxes.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And that's the kind of insatiable desire for someone else's
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: money that J. Jones is suing the federal government over
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: aid programs that have been cut because apparently in j.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Jones's mind. As our attorney general, you have a right
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: to other people's money, John, and it's never been more stark.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: But as somebody who's going to face a midterm election,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: their behavior right now I think is going to I mean,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: if they were smart to me, they would have moderated
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: right now and try to keep people lulled to sleep
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: so that when the redistricting amendment came up, nobody would
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: be noticing, nobody would be up in arms, nobody would
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: be fired up. But instead they've done this here hold
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: my beer kind of legislation that I think is going
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to backfire first on in April when the redistricting amendment
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: comes up.
• 34:12
  Speaker 19: Well, I think you're right.
• 34:13
  Speaker 23: I mean, the regional greenhouse gas just of Reggie solar
• 34:17
  Speaker 23: panels and wind panel and wind energy and just going
• 34:20
  Speaker 23: all the way in.
• 34:21
  Speaker 19: And they want to go against your second amendment.
• 34:24
  Speaker 23: They want to add taxes on bullets so that you
• 34:27
  Speaker 23: can't afford bullets. I mean, they want to take away
• 34:30
  Speaker 23: the sovereign immunity for law enforcement, which is going to
• 34:34
  Speaker 23: cause a lot of our good law enforcement people to retire.
• 34:38
  Speaker 23: And they see they're always supporting criminals and not the victims.
• 34:42
  Speaker 23: And it's crazy. And a lot of these millionaires are
• 34:45
  Speaker 23: wealthy business owners are going to go to North Carolina
• 34:48
  Speaker 23: and other states and they're going to try to out California, California.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: It's scary. I don't know if they're looking to move
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: people down from New York state or something. It's like,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: coming here, we're more progressive than New York is John,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: So how would the cat So if I'm a first
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: time home buyer and I buy a home from somebody
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: who's a retiree and they just want to downsize, and
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: that's frequently a scenario. I've talked to realtors and they
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: say that's the scenario all the time. You don't get
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: hit for the capital gains, like you've owned the house
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: for forty years. I guarantee you the house is more
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: valuable than it was when you purchased this, even if
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the dollar isn't. But you know, they would hate you
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: for that two or three hundred thousand dollars that your
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: house has gone up in value for pretty hard.
• 35:37
  Speaker 23: Yeah, it's a huge incentive. And you know, here's a
• 35:40
  Speaker 23: lot of things came into me developing this idea. It's
• 35:43
  Speaker 23: a team effort. But I met a guy seventy two
• 35:46
  Speaker 23: years old. He has fifty five rental properties under the
• 35:50
  Speaker 23: value of five hundred thousand dollars. So there's a supply
• 35:53
  Speaker 23: right there. And I realize he's an anomenaly, but that's
• 35:56
  Speaker 23: a supply of homes and a first time buyer might
• 35:59
  Speaker 23: be able to afford if they were back on the market.
• 36:01
  Speaker 19: But this guy is not going to sell them. He
• 36:03
  Speaker 19: doesn't want to pay capital gains. And so if there's one,
• 36:06
  Speaker 19: there's more.
• 36:07
  Speaker 23: And we estimate that this will free up the thousands
• 36:10
  Speaker 23: of affordable homes in all fifty states and put them,
• 36:15
  Speaker 23: you know.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Put well. And you know I was going to say,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and beyond that, even if he doesn't want to hit
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the capital gains, a lot of people, you know, what
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: they do is they figure out what the capital gains
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: tax is going to be on the sale of the
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: property and just factor it into the costs. So you've
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: now increased the cost of housing by that much more
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: of a factor by doing it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 19: Yeah, for sure.
• 36:39
  Speaker 23: And you know, the cool thing about this bill has
• 36:41
  Speaker 23: a lot of little details into it, and one of
• 36:44
  Speaker 23: them is that you know, China, Black Rock Corporations, foreign
• 36:47
  Speaker 23: countries cannot buy these homes, has to be an American citizen.
• 36:52
  Speaker 23: So yeah, because you know these guys and Trump's trying
• 36:55
  Speaker 23: to force these corporations to digest from these properties. And
• 37:00

  Speaker 22: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 22: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 22: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 22: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 22: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 22: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  Speaker 22: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24

• 38:27
  Speaker 22: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  Speaker 22: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34

  Speaker 6: I'm afraid of Russians.
• 44:25
  Speaker 19: I can't sleep.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: We have found, Bob. You call it bank Finally, I
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's Sometimes my big fat fingers and
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: little buttons on phones can be a volatile combination, so
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Bob. Thank you for calling back, you
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: said it was afternoon there by the volga. How are
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: you today?
• 44:47
  Speaker 20: Doing good? But sort of off the subject, but quick
• 44:52
  Speaker 20: thing with tensions, like my state of Wisconsin pension this
• 44:58
  Speaker 20: year is going up fourteen point one percent, So why
• 45:03
  Speaker 20: is the cost of living and why is the Social
• 45:06
  Speaker 20: Security going up so little? And then my other question
• 45:10
  Speaker 20: is the government should not fail out any state or
• 45:14
  Speaker 20: any company's pension fund because if they can't manage it properly,
• 45:18
  Speaker 20: like the state of Wisconsin does, it shouldn't be bailed out. Well, yeah,
• 45:23
  Speaker 20: statea Wisconsin, the state of Wisconsin, the Democrats and Republicans
• 45:29
  Speaker 20: back in the late nineties got together and made a
• 45:33
  Speaker 20: bill that states you cannot borrow against the pension fund
• 45:39
  Speaker 20: and the pension fund must be fully funded one hundred
• 45:43
  Speaker 20: percent of the time.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Sure, so any.
• 45:46
  Speaker 20: Pension here from the state of Wisconsin is always going
• 45:49
  Speaker 20: to have money. Because back then in the nineties late nineties,
• 45:53
  Speaker 20: the Democrats and Republicans actually in the state of Wisconsin
• 45:57
  Speaker 20: were working together well.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And they also had seen what was happening through the
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: eighties and pension funds and these corporate raiders, and it
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: was you know, and and they wanted to make sure
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: that like in New York. New York huge problem in
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: New York State with tapping into the state pension funds
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: because they figured, oh, it'll be years before anyone comes
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: along and needs this, and then all of a sudden
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: people started needing it. It became one of the biggest
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: problems in New York's financial problems, Round two, I think
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: round one. It also was part of it, you know,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: back in the seventies, but it came.
• 46:34
  Speaker 20: Back and and Illinois has a big problem with their
• 46:39
  Speaker 20: pension planks. My sister and sis all are teachers in
• 46:43
  Speaker 20: Illinois at the retirement needs, but they're still working because
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: their pension is been swindled.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Would say, well, and this is the part that you know,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: and I talk about this with the teachers, you know,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: when we talk about school choice and those kind of things.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I talked to tea all the time who say,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not paid enough, my benefits stink, my pension is dubious,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, what is your union doing for you?
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Then you know, you talk about a coalition of Republicans
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: and Democrats Wisconsin on it together to make sure that
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. But that's also you know, to be.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: If you're in a union, you should expect the union
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: is watching out for that kind of stuff. My father
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: in law, the union, he started, he started it and
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: the whole model. He used to fight all the time
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: with people who wanted, you know, four extra dollars per
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: hour that he had allocated to pension contributions, like no, no, no,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: we want the money now. And he's like, no, you
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: don't you work now. When you're sixty five and you
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: can't work anymore, you're going to be glad that we
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: did it. I mean, they were so overfunded as a
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: pension account. I think it's now it's a portion of
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: air products that they're They were sending out fourteen checks
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: a month just to disburse the fund because they had
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: invested it so well that it was making so much
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: money on its own that it was they.
• 48:13
  Speaker 20: That's that's why the states like Illinois, California, New York,
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: they need to look at Wisconsin. Wisconsin's a democratic state,
• 48:24
  Speaker 20: but they were smart enough to get together and say, hey,
• 48:27
  Speaker 20: the pension fund cannot be touched or borrowing to.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: If you've made a promise to somebody that what I said,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: If you made a promise to somebody, which is what
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: a pension is. You know, we'll take some money out,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: we'll invest it so that when you retire, your efforts
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: for us have been taken care of. Four oh one
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: k and the roths and those. That's you saying I'll
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: do it myself. Sometimes companies back you on it, but
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: if you have a pension with the company you work for,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: that's a promise that they're making to you. And you know,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a higher crime or misdemeaning.
• 49:06
  Speaker 20: And in the state of Wisconsin, before they changed the law,
• 49:09
  Speaker 20: over twelve percent of your annual salary went into the
• 49:15
  Speaker 20: pension fund paid by the state of Wisconsin. And then
• 49:20
  Speaker 20: when they changed it, it went down to half, and
• 49:23
  Speaker 20: people are complaining that's still six and a half percent
• 49:26
  Speaker 20: of your growth salary went into the pension front xtree,
• 49:32
  Speaker 20: and that people people that retire in the state of
• 49:35
  Speaker 20: Wisconsin now they're making more money retired than they were
• 49:40
  Speaker 20: making when they.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Were working, which is really I mean, if you think
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: about it, those are the most expensive years you have anyway,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: so you know you should. It is a common sport
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: amongst Virginia political reporters to bash the state employees that
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: manage our retirement system, the Virginia Retirement system. Routinely, six
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: out of the ten highest paid Virginia State employees, you know,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: along with like two university professors and two football coaches,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: are our staffers or fund managers with the Virginia retirement system.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: And at one point it was going on on the
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: air and somebody called and said, yeah, guess what we
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: don't have a problem with Virginia's retirement system is people
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: not getting their pensions. So these you know, they're high
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: paid because they give them a commission, just the way
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: an investment banker would get commission on the growth of
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: the funds that they manage and things like that. So
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: the point was the newspaper people were complaining that they
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: had high take home pay, but it was because they
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: were successful at investing the retirement system, so they were
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: making good commissions on it. Right. Yeah, it's how we.
• 51:01
  Speaker 20: If it's done right. Yeah, the people if the if
• 51:06
  Speaker 20: the Social Security was done right, they didn't borrow against it,
• 51:09
  Speaker 20: and they did it like the State of Wisconsin did.
• 51:12
  Speaker 20: Every person that has Social Security wouldn't have problems playing
• 51:17
  Speaker 20: their medical bills right, their food when they get older,
• 51:21
  Speaker 20: because you know on average over the last fifteen years.
• 51:26
  Speaker 20: I think the pension fund said they've average seven percent return.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, real quick, before we run out of time, I
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: have to ask, because I'm nosy, how is the Davos
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: stuff playing? In the Moscow press.
• 51:45
  Speaker 20: They consider the Dobbeles is basically your deep state. Now
• 51:49
  Speaker 20: all the rhythms are getting together and think of control
• 51:52
