The Bill Martinez Show 06 04 26

0:00 Are you ready, Yeah, Okay, let's do it. Ill Martina's Live a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez. Hey, good morning, good to have you with us. Bill Martinez here along with Mike O'Neil from Landmark Legal. Just about six minutes after the top. They are right now. Hey, Mike, good morning to you. Good morning Bill, good to be with you. And lots of things catch up. Interesting, you know, watching the primaries the last couple of days and what happened, particularly in California, you know with uh, you know, with Steve Hilton. It looks like, you know, we'll see how the numbers. You know, whenever you're talking about California, they take so long, you know, to count the ballots. I don't know what's wrong, you know. I mean Florida, Florida can do it in several hours and meet a deadline. California, because they're special, I guess, cannot seem to count count the ballots.

0:57 It's funny I saw yesterday on actually Columbia, the country of Columbia does it. They have paper ballots in person voting, and they know the and they handcount and they verify it and they know the outcome of their elections within hours after it. And the United States of America supposedly our richest state, quote unquote, our richest state, California, the most resources. We're talking about days weeks to verify elections or to ensure that. But what does that mean. Let's just be frank. The reason they have this and this actually will fall into one of the frame coort cases that's pending right now. The decisions pending is when you allow ballots, when you send every single person, every single name on a voter list, voter registration list, and keep in mind, there's no real effort to ensure that those names are still alive or even live in California or even eligible to vote. When you send every single name on a voter registration list a mail ballot, whether they want it or not, and you flood the entire state with mail ballots, and you have allowed these mail ballots to be received days and weeks after the election, it's just it creates the tsunami of nonsense where you have just opportunities for malfeasance and fraud and mischief and vote manufacturing and election manipulation and ballot manipulation and it's absurd.

2:15 It's an embarrassment to the entire world that our supposedly richest, biggest, large, you know, most populous state, et cetera, et cetera, can't even ensure that their elections are going to be there, are going to be legitimate hours after the election. It's absurd. Well, and the thing is, it leaves the people because what happens in California doesn't stay in California. It's kind of like a disease that you know, bleeds into the other states of the Union that causes people to be suspicious of the process. I mean, look at there should be uniformity. I know that we're republic and every state should have its own privilege and all this sort of thing.

2:55 But it's just, you know, they all have their own ideas, depending who's driving the bus. Unless there's some uniformity and consistency here, it's going to be open to fraud. And I think, and this is what we're seeing. So something has to come to a conclusion here to say, Okay, how do we conduct a free and fair election? Nobody's asking that question. Mike, Well, I mean we've been trying. We've been talking a lot about the Same America Act, and I think I come out it a little bit. I think that the federalism issue is important and the role of the states is important, but I do think that their baseline requirements to conduct an election. In other words, I think that everybody and those are encapsulated in the Same America Act, the federal legislation that you and I have talked about many many times that still is languishing in the Senate.

3:46 I guess it's just going to be. It's dead now at this point, which is incredibly, unfortunately, incredibly frustrating for me personally. But I think we can all agree base level thing, base level protocols in place to ensure election integrity. Vote in person, establish your citizenship when you register a vote in person, show identification when you vote, establish your citizenship to ensure eligibility that you're a citizen the United State, when you register and identify, and remove non citizens from voting worlds and the one. There has been a little bit of positive development, and there's a case again pending at the Supreme Court, Watson versus RNC, that involves election day receipt of mail ballots. And this is a case where in Washington state allows the receipt of mail ballots for up to twenty one days after an election day.

4:36 And the question is whether that violates the federal law that specifies that elections need to be completed by an election day on election day. And I think that that's an example of what you're talking about though, Right, is that a state like Washington State or California that allows ballots to be received mail ballots to be received days and weeks after an election is just ripe with fraud and mouth seasons. It also acts as an incentivized is voter fraud. If you're with me, you know, if if you're carrying bass and you're in a and you're in a mayorial race against Spencer Pratt and the margins are three thousand votes or five thousand votes or vice versa Spencer Prat, Bass, you're and you are allowed bouts to continue to trickle in days or weeks after the election.

5:21 What's that going to do? That's gonna incentivize you to go out and manufacture those those ballots. So it's especially and especially when you're in a state that allows for ballot harvesting, right, Yeah, on top. Of exactly exactly, I mean there was a case a couple of years ago that said that states could outlaw ballot a Supreme Court case. Again, this gets to your kind of point about uniformity here, but it's right now in our system. It's that coming upon the states to take action to ensure this. I would like to have some base level federal law, i e. The Save Act, which would sit base levels. But there's a case in Arizona Bernovich a couple of years ago that said a state could outlaw ballot harvesting, and that was met with houses that ballot harvesting, that outline ballot ballot harvesting would disenfranchise so many people and give me a break. Ballot harvesting is terrifying, right. It undermines so many of the fundamental precepts of our democracy. Ballot Harvesting allows somebody who's not even not a relative, not a trusted friend or anything like that. It allows these NGOs to descend on vulnerable populations and knock on doors and say, Okay, little lady, I'm gonna knock on your door. You want to vote for for Spencer Pratt, or you want to vote for Campbaths, don't you? Don't you that removes the secrecy. The entire point of the secret ballot is to exactly prove the potential for undue influence on how you vote. That's cast out the window with ballot harvesting. And so it's absurd to have these these laws again, as you said, Washington State, California that allows us ballot harvesting, which of course ballot harvesting mail votes and of permitting the received ballots after

6:51 election day is just this perfect recipe for voter fraud. And even in the cases where it's not fraud, it's the perception of fraud is bad too. People lose faith in the integrity of the system exactly, they see swings, which is just as bad. Well, and here we are. We've been dealing with this now for what at least ten years, at least ten years where you know, and you could go back arguably and say decades, but still at least ten years where it's just become more and more obvious that all these shenanigans, the motor voter rolls, the things that California has done, I mean, they protected over three million voters on their roles that should have been eliminated according to Judicial Watch.

7:35 Here recently, Judicial Watch got California to finally take off one point two million voters. These are people that have been moved and everything else, and they've moved. Some are dead, you know, some are just outright bogus, and you know, but it was a fight. It wasn't a simple, you know, process to say, hey, we know, you got some things here. You're supposed to all part of the you know, what had been instituted previously about voting was that you were to maintain clean voter rolls. And you have not been doing this on an annual basis because you know, even the Post Office reports that roughly twenty twenty five percent of the population moves every year. So what does that say about the voter roles. You're going to have that kind of attrition or that kind of movement on your voter rolls, and if you don't have somebody watching it, then you've got, you know, you've got contaminated voter rolls.

8:32 They've perfected a system whereby you can manipulate the vote. Again enough if you mail voting, universal mail voting, and again that was that really took off nationally in COVID, right, the COVID and the COVID emergency was seized on by these activists to install mail voting, widespread mail voting in a lot of states before COVID it was. It occurred again, but not to the extension occurs nationally because it was seized on right under the threat that somehow you voting in person was going to expose you to COVID and you die, Uncle craft exactly, and. So why right, nail, let's go to break. We'll pick it up more on the other side. More from Mike O'Neil after this.

9:13 This report is sponsored by IBM as AI transforms how work gets done. A new IBM CEO study finds success will depend on how quickly organizations redesign their workforce. CEOs agree people are the priority. Eighty three percent of CEOs say AI success depends more on people's adoption than the technology, but many organizations are still struggling to redesign roles, build new skills, and rethink how teams collaborate. This gap is already showing up in the workplace. CEOs say only twenty five percent of employees are using AI as part of their jobs, even though eighty six percent believe their workforce have the skills to collaborate with AI. Looking ahead, CEOs expect the impact on jobs to accelerate by twenty twenty eight. Twenty nine percent of employees may need reskilling for different roles, while fifty nine percent will likely require upskilling to perform their current roles more effectively. The findings suggests the real challenge isn't just adopting AI, it's aligning jobs, skills, and ways of working with the speed of AI transformation. To learn more, visit IBM dot com slash IBV.

13:07 Nutrition for Patriots. Hey, we're back with you with Landmark legalis Michael Neil Michah. We're talking, you know, balid harvesting, the problems, I mean, we're talking the things that people still talk about, which you know, I think people are just getting worn out and they're almost surrendering. They're throwing up the white flag to say, you know what does it matter? Yeah, exactly that that's that's unfortunate. And that's really the what you guard against too, is just this the fact, the hopelessness. And that's what you're saying, right is because because is go ahead. No, Well, it contradicts our constitution. A government of four by we the people means that we must participate. If we don't participate, then we're corrupting the whole process.

13:57 Yeah, and this is this is one of the real dangers that I've always warned against some This is when you lose faith in the integrity of the system. Yes, keep in mind, and what's left to effectuate change fundamentally, how you affectuate change for the two hundred and fifty years of our history, excuse me, is via the ballot box, right if you have to believe your vote counts. And one of the beautiful things about America is we have a culture in US is that even if you lose, if you lose fairly, you accept the loss. Okay, if it's a fair If it's a fair fight and I lose, okay, I accept it. If my vote counted, then I if my vote counted and I had a fair battle and I thought the good fight and I lost, I'll accept that loss. But what happens is when you lose faith in the integrity of the system and that it doesn't matter whether I vote or not because the outcome is already determined, and you have that, you can't effectuate change via the ballot box. How do you want? What does that build up? That frustration builds up and ultimately leads to very dangerous paths, because in order to effectuate change, you have to turn to alternative measures. And we know human history is born out that that does not that does not end well for anybody if you feel like you can't change the system you're in via the democratic process.

15:17 Yeah, you see, this is why, this is why, this is why what's going on in New Jersey, what's happened in Minneapolis, doll this is so dangerous, Mike, to your exact point year and that is that gives rise to groups like Antifa that their way to effect effectuate change is through treasonous and dangerous activity. Well, yeah, think about the way the left operates now, and this is indicative of when they become When they cannot effectuate change through the systems in place, they want to destroy those systems. And it's encapsulated with the discussions about the Supreme Court. They're frustrated the left and we've talked about this before, but left is frustrated because they're not winning every single case that comes in front of the justices of the Supreme Court. They're not batting a thousand in other words, and what do they want to do?

15:59 You see this speech after speech is they want to remake, fundamentally remake the contours of the Supreme Court. In other words, expanded from nine justices to thirteen justices. What happens then, That means you've politicized the Supreme Court. You've added four justices because you're not getting your political goals met once to stop on that. Once that door is open, nothing is to stop. Nothing stops subsequent Congresses from expanding the Supreme Court to accomplish their political ends. So there get. Control of the Supreme Court. And are they get control of Congress and the presidency in twenty twenty four? Are twenty twenty eight, then they add four justices. Swings back to Republicans gain control of the Congress and the president. Well, they open the door. Now we're going to add four justices. Then the Supreme Court is fundamentally changed from its deliberative constitutional body as it is presently configured into a political apparatcheck.

16:48 And that's what you we'll see. But the Democrats don't be left doesn't care. They want to destroy the systems. And as you said with Antifa, they want to destroy these systems if they don't go along with their radical Marxist agenda. Right, they have ways, they have ways to convince you that we must go along with them, right and. Yeah, and they're in the process of destroying our electoral system. I mean, I think you could argue that they've destroyed the electoral system in California to the extent so that they can achieve their one party goals. Well see, I mean it's still I still think the fight is being waged. But they are all of these efforts to do this to you know, mail voting, no ID everybody gets a ballot, no no system, no checks on the system, voter, no serious efforts to remove ineligible individuals from the voting walls.

17:36 All this stuff is an effort to dismantle and destroy our electoral system to ensure that they have the chaos where they can thrive in. Well. And the thing that is so disappointing, as we said from the get go, and that is that the Republicans are in charge right now. I mean, they got the keys to the car, but it's like they can't find the gear to put it in to move the car forward. I mean, it's I just it's funny. I am you were talking about the hopelessness, and I am almost at that point with regards to the Save America Act. This one is just it blows my mind how that the Senate has sat on their hands and not pulled the full force and power of their offices to ensuring that these baseline provisions to ensure election integrity would go through.

18:21 I don't understand how an issue like eighty percent of the American people agree on voter identification is not a federal law. It's just it's absolutely as I sit here on June third, it's absurd that that's not the case. Well, and the other thing that happened, you know, this past week is that Trump gets an award because of you know, and the judicial you know, has to they pay him, you know, because they violated his rights in exposing his tax records for he and his family. So he gets a settlement of one point seven seven six billion and he puts it into a slush fund to heal people who have been subjects of judiciary weaponization a La jan six and others you know, across the country. Now, all of a sudden, that becomes a bargaining chip, and John Thune has to convince the President to take it off the table so that he can you know, do something and maybe pass, maybe pass the Reconciliation bill that will finally fund these agencies that we've been that have been suffering for the last what three four months? Ridiculous.

19:35 Yeah, Again, the ineffectiveness of the Senate leadership is just astounding to me. Is what, what concrete measures have they passed? How you have not put your full force behind this. You're right, reconciliation is a viable option for some of this stuff too, because or again, the philibusters. The other one is, I'm under no illusion that when the Democrats and when the Democrats retain is gone, so at least obligate the Democrats right now to engage into traditional filibuster in all in these cases, in this legislation that they opposed, reconciliation, they don't even have to worry about. They can do it by a simple majority, so you don't have to do that. But again, just it's astounding to me. I was I was actually talking about this with some of my colleagues earlier today. The have you ever thought of an institution, an institution that doesn't want to exert power and authority in Congress? It's a it's kind of unique how Congress, under our constitutional structure should be the most powerful branch of government and yet they're the weakest. They're they're not. They're not excellent. It's it's amazing to me.

20:43 Every human institution always wants to be more powerful. And you know, government agencies, the president, the courts, et cetera, et cetera. But Congress is weird. They they they're happy just sitting on their hands, fat and happy collecting their checks. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what that that condition exists more with the Republicans in control than it does. Oh yeah, absolutely, Democrats hold no bars. I mean no, that's a great point, Bill, great point. Republicans. Yes, Republican can I should condition what I just said. Republican controlled congresses, particularly the Senate, are very happy to sit on their hands and be fat and happy as opposed to You're right when Democrats come in, it's katie bar the door.

21:25 Yeah. Yeah, just assume the position because they're gonna they're gonna stick it to you. That's that's what and that's what they've done time and time again. And uh, you know John Dune and others. I mean, they need and I don't know, I think it's maybe too late. You know, you talk about having a sense of hopelessness. It's just to me, it is a loss of leadership. Uh and and that's what's on display here that we're seeing clearly and the voters, and the voters are gonna cast their vote accordingly. You know, we got about a minute left. I'm gonna let you summarize it. Go in. Yeah, absolutely, we'll see. I mean again, there is there are some glimmers of hope here that the Supreme Court I think is poised in this Watson versus RNC case to conclude that states can't have these sorts of laws that allow the collection of ballast days and weeks after elections, so that that'll do anything. There was the Louise Ana versus Calai decision, which was from a couple of weeks ago, which again says that you know, you can't have the you can't have these racially gerrymandered congressional districts. So there are glimmers of hope out there. Scotus stands as a bastion in a lot of ways, So look forward to that in the coming weeks, some more decisions are going to be coming down and we can talk about that as they arise.

22:31 Well exactly, and of course, you know, we're grateful that you come on and break it down for us, because you know, people are getting confused, Mike, and they're getting mixed messages, and of course you got the narrative from the media and all these other talking heads Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer. They come on and you think, Okay, what spaceship did they just land in? I know, certainly not, Hugh, I know exactly they. I think I saw that today an individual who is an al Kada sympathizer is now the Democrat nominee for our position in New Jersey. Yes, exactly, it's just right. Yeah, you have a segment of a political party that has just completely gone off the rails, right, we got a guard against it.

23:17 Yeah, without a doubt. We've got to be vigilant. But again, it's the government of four by we the people that we the people must be activated and participate. You cannot lose, hope, ladies and gentlemen, because what are we going to pass on to the next generation. We're fighting for our kids and our grandkids and our great grandkids right now.

Bill Martinez here along with doctor Wilfrid Riley, the professor of political science at Kentucky State University. Hey, well, how are we doing pretty well?

27:26 Do it pretty well? I noticed Pride Month just began yesterday. I'm starting to get these messages from like the Chicago Cubs and so on. So that's going on. But a good, good place. Yeah, yeah, well, you know, it's an interesting time with all, you know, with the midterms coming up, and of course Iran continues, and you know we've got you know, the Democrats are beside themselves. I mean, you got Jill back on the trail, bringing back the nightmare that they thought was over. And then of course, first of all, it was a one hundred and seven days they had to be reminded with Kamala because you know, she had been missing the spotlight and trying to sell books. I don't know that she bought up a bunch of books like Gavin Newsom. I guess that's one way to make sure you can, you know, sell books, if you just buy them yourself, right, Yeah, I.

28:13 Mean celebrity book deals. You know, you don't want to sound bitter or anything, but celebrity book deals are often pretty close to money laundering where I mean, you know, like the typical advance for a book is maybe fifty sixty thousand dollars if you're good. Bill Plinton, I remember once got ten million lee old boy Mike Pince, you know, nothing wrong with him, but similar think three or four million. So you know, you get this amount of money, there's not really any sales tie into it. But the third part of this is, yeah, your organization, your charity is normally expected to buy some of the books. They're going to be deals with schools that are getting that book, whether they wanted or not. Libraries they're getting that boy, whether they wanted or not. So when you look at what happened to you know, Bush Two's autobiography, Barack Obama's four autobiographies, I mean those are that's generally something you're going to find on a library shelf under the hit or presidential that kind of thing. So Biden's not doing.

29:08 That right exactly. Well, but now I guess Jill in lieu of Joe being able to do it, I mean he's not going to be able to do an autobiography. I mean, you know, I don't know. I mean, it's just sad to hear all this stuff all over again. Sat On one hand, the other hand, it's aggravating because of what his presidency cost the American taxpayer. Yeah, I mean, Joe Biden is a political opponent. I don't like him, but he was a pretty significant figure in American life for a long time. I mean uncle Joe Biden first ran for president I think nineteen eighty four. I mean, he was one of those guys. It was up on the stage with Gary Hart and that was Biden dukaka. I mean the whole phone book full of candidates that lingered a little too long in the d's and the b's, as Pedrio Workwan said. And with that period, I mean he didn't get elected. Then he's been trying for thirty six forty more years. He finally took the top seed, and by that point he had visible mental decline.

30:08 So there's something Shakespearean about that, I mean, right, the kind of manichet and manipulative second wife who also really wants the throne. Without getting too deep into that, he goes for it the last time he's not functionally more. Somehow he wins, but then it becomes this humiliation ritual where he's doing these events with the presidents of India and Russia, and he's barely functionally. He's clinging to life. And again I mean that Jill and the family didn't have the best relationship at that. Like Joe Biden recently said she didn't know Joe Biden was aging. She was taking some hits for how she'd been she'd been managing that and she said, well, how was I supposed to see? And the answer I think was just well, everyone could observe that what was going on with mister Biden, like he was talking to people that weren't there. So that's that's what happened. And now she's trying to play that off A little bit. Last thing on this that's the Democrats are in a weird position because they don't really have a bench right now and candidates.

31:06 Well that's what I was going to say, because they're all over the place. I mean, you got here, you got Jill's book, you got Kamala's book, that going on buddhajeg you know, I guess he's right now pulling better than anybody. Newsome's kind of fading on the turn. But besides that, you got the Grant Platner issue James tell Rico in Texas, Mom Donnie, of course he's an ongoing nightmare. And then you got the two governors, Mikey, Cheryl and Abigail Spamberger. And then in contrast, let's go to LA and see a guy like Spencer Pratt who just says, hey, to me, it's just observational politics. I think that's a new term. I like that he just says, hey, we see the problem. We call the problem out. People go, yeah, that's a problem. What solution you got? He's got solutions. Meanwhile, Karen Bass is going, you know, hey, I'm going to go meet with my donors and have some banquet chicken.

32:02 I guess yeah, it was someone edgy but highly intelligent. So probably Steve Sailor that said that there's not a distinction in his mind between like data quote unquote capital D data what we work with, and just real life. So Spencer Pratt, I think, is an Angelino. He's a guy from LA and he's walking outside in what used to be a nice neighborhood and he's seeing people defecating on the street and setting up tents and so on, and there's an element of just I mean in Kentucky and just chase that guy away with a shotgun. But there's an element of like, what's the problem with this? How could this be allowed? It seems very easy to fix, and I think that's resonating with a lot of people.

32:42 I mean that scene in his ad where all of the politicians are at this table in the French laundry, which really happened during COVID. I mean, Gavin Newson would book like the main room of the French laundry during COVID. But they're all laughing, and Kamala Harris's I think dressed as the joker because the crazy cackle and they're saying like or it's going to keep doing it, you know. I think that really relates to how most residents of big cities feel. I mean, I'm from Chicago, as you know, and the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, is you know, on part with any of these guys. He recently has begun the practice of referring to mass riots as teen trends, so not even team takeovers like the police every day will announce it. They're tracking teen trends around the city and tell you where not to shop. And there's kind of just a reaction. Why not put some cops there if you know what train stations are coming out of and arrest everybody. Well, that would hamper our scholars and their pursuits of you know. So there's this whole thing that Pratt is doing a good job of pointing out.

33:42 And again, the Democrats have a terrible lift of candidates. I mean tallar Rico is yeah, I mean, that's yeah. I actually I confused tallar Rico with Pete Buddhagen yesterday because there's so many of this kind of Mackenzie model of young, slightly effeminate, stylish democrat. So the twitter account Damien Tole, who I enjoyed trading banter with back and forth, funny guy, kind of union Democratic lawyer, but he posted a picture of Talleriico and he was like, well, this is one candidate that's not gonna have problems with women, saying apparently he's faithful to his girls. And I said, well, I retweeted and said we Pete Botager, of course he's not gonna have problems with women. And people started pointing out, well, no, no, that's the other one. They're like four of them like this, like these little guys that played some JV baseball and have a cowboy hat on. So anyway, I mean, I don't know what they're going to do with that kind of bench. Nationally, I mean in the black community, we have our strikes over weaknesses, but like Buddhage are just pulling at zero percent. And I think his whole thing of like I'm a folk see gay man that adopted two young African American children and a little blond guy from Texas. I mean, people are just looking at the I don't know, I'm not going for I think that's You're gonna get a lot of that.

34:53 Well, and that's the thing. I mean, we're talking Texas here, Texas. I mean talk about you know, somebody making a mistake in going into central casting and coming up with the exact opposite that would fit you know, the Texas Bravado, right. Yeah. Well it's the thing with Taller Rico. Some journalists referred to him as the woke Billy Graham, which I think is an insult old Billy Graham, but. My gosha, Yeah, but you get. Where they're coming from, because like tall Rico's whole thing is I'm not going to do a fake Texas accent, but like I'm a diehard Christian seminarian and that's why I believe in abortion until birth and a lot like a lot of the Republicans are bad, but the Democrats are like Monty Python SNL character bad. There's a guy in Tennessee who's the black businessman, who is the student government president at Bowden. The first time I saw this guy, even though Clark, I think Lee, but even though like I'm across the aisle, I was like, Okay, well, I don't have any problem with the black business class running for office. You don't see what he does, but he immediately transformed to this fake Southern African American preacher type.

36:02 Have you ever seen that clip? No, I haven't seen it. I mean, you're going in there and I'm thinking, I'm flashing back when Hillary channel channels her her black spiritual mama. It's oh, it's grady, but it's worse. Huh yo, It's much worse. Yeah, there's there's a famous clip. I would encourage your listeners to look this up, like Tennessee State Assembly chief for whatever Boden b O W D O I N and then Bowden in later like the first clip is him saying like, yeah, I want to work across the aisle with the Republicans and with local business communities to help my career as Boden student government president. That's actually an influential position because of our endowment.

36:44 It's just totally bam bam bam normal. And then the second clip is him standing in the Tennessee Rotunda and he's grown like a patche mustache and an afro, and he's woring men's warehouse suit. His first suit of the first Cup was Brooks Brothers. Like, not that that matters, but he's talking in this fake creature cadence, like and they say that Saturdays going on alone time, but Sunday is going to come. Oh here it is.

38:14 for in partnership with cars or Us and Find the Children. This report is sponsored by IBM as AI transforms how work gets done. A new IBM CEO study finds success will depend on how quickly organizations redesign their workforce. CEOs agree people are the priority. Eighty three percent of CEOs say AI success depends more on people's adoption than the technology, but many organizations are still struggling to redesign roles, build new skills, and rethink how teams collaborate. This gap is already showing up in the workplace. CEOs say only twenty five percent of employees are using AI as part of their jobs, even though eighty six percent believe their workforce have the skills to collaborate with AI. Looking ahead, CEOs expect the impact on jobs to accelerate by twenty twenty eight.

38:57 Twenty nine percent of employees may need reskilling for different while fifty nine percent will likely require upskilling to perform their current roles more effectively. The findings suggest the real challenge isn't just adopting AI, it's aligning jobs, skills, and ways of working with the speed of AI transformation. To learn more, visit IBM dot com, slash IBV.

Doctor Wilfrid Roberts, professor of political science at Kentucky State University, author Taboo Ten facts you can't talk about e lies my liberal teacher John me.

41:27 It's all there anyway. So just to kind of summarize here, you know, Voden's just really put on putting on the act. Huh. But it was just an amazing transition from like and Barack Obama did this too to some extent where he if you if you ever watched Obama's first famous speech in the Illinois legislature, I mean it was then running for office, running I think for the presidents of years later. But I mean his pitch line is there's no blue America, there's no red America. You know, I'm a black guy, that's what they call me. But my father's from Kenya, my mom's white. I love my mom. It's just the most conventional normal stuff. Apple Pie and Labrador retrievers and all that, and then later when he actually got elected, I mean, Deness just Susan did a whole documentary on his references to your third world colonialism and Mound Fenan and so on. So politicians do this, democrats do it more.

42:19 But this Tennessee thing is the craziest transition I've ever seen because you can see the guy side by side a year apart, and they've just got a lot of these guys. They've got Tallarico, who again literally will say things like my God tells me that abortion is a decision between a woman, her child and the doctor. You know, he has Bible verses on point for each one of his crazy like left of castro positions. You've got Budhajed, who, you know, his soldier said he was a good guy personally, but who became this again standard cookie cutter lib but who also happens to be gay and to have a somewhat flamboyant husband, who's an inter city school teacher, and who says this crazy stuff on Twitter that Buddha did have to disavow. Like every one of these candidates is just Biden's eighty six. They're all just unbelievably bad. Like Carl Harris is also kind of SNL level. I mean, with the wine drinking and the millionaire husband and just like all of it.

43:14 I don't know. How many of them are going to have any chance of taking a serious national office. Yeah, because yeah, I mean they're not able to cross over. I mean they've got, you know, a very loud splinter of the Democratic is certainly the radical left. But I'm not even sure that Kamala Harris could even claim that. I mean, they've taken three steps away from her. I mean, she's it's like bad news for her, and you know, she's just trying to find some relevance. She may just have to, you know, walk away and just say I'm a historic figure. I was the first you know, black vice president of the United States of America. Call it a day, you know, and I think a lot of people how to do that. I mean, like Joe Biden was the first vice other he was one of I mean, we had plenty of irishmen in politics, so that did that didn't really cross any lives. But I was the first. He was the vice president of the first black president, first veeper from one of the smaller states. I mean like you can literally just say, okay, I'm getting two pages in the books already, and nobody, I mean, you're you've got to worry about you know, where your name's written in a higher place in a couple of years. You know, I might as well hang out with the grandkids. So I encourage a lot of people to take that path. I doubt there are any older politicians listening. Listening, but just that that grubbing for power until the last moment of your life. It has some problems. And I'm not I'm not I know this guy.

44:37 I'm not gonna say he did this, but uh, even Senator McConnell down here in Kentucky, I mean, he got he was fighting in there until he got to the point he started having many. Strokes, right exactly. We'd be watching him down here on television and he'd be saying some I'm perfectly coherent about a budget bill. Then he just stopped for thirty seconds, right, And there was a polite convention among our journalists to sort of just say, it looks like he's thinking about something. But you go on, and that probably is not ideal. There's a time to come home and run the farm. Right exactly, And because things like that set a precedent and it opens the door for you know, a feeble president like Joe Biden. Right, I mean, this is all consequential.

45:19 All right, let's talk, let's talk a run. What are we doing here? Yeah, I don't know. I think that I think this is one of you know, big Trump's. I haven't seen that many bit genuine blunders. And I think the blunder is not finishing the war. Yeah, you know with and this is this is a consistent problem. I mean, like growing up, a lot of my friend's dads had fought in Vietnam, and people consistently say, well, we lost the Vietnam War. We never had a chance of the Vietnam War. I think everyone on the right who reads history knows that's not trip like it pursuing the war more aggressively early on, I better bombing a couple of damns if we went to cross that line, but it probably led to American victory in the field. We just didn't do that.

46:00 We pursued kind of a halfway their policy. For years. The media was constantly on the troops, there were major protests stateside, and in the end, nothing happened. It was an inconclusive war, and if anything, we failed the other side and held the field. This similarly, like on the left and on the right, also there were these constant calls from day one of this better not go on more than four or five weeks. I noticed, that's exactly when we stopped. By the way, I don't want a single loss in this war. I don't care about gas prices. I don't want one did troop and you empathize with some of it, but what was basically happening is that we were winning the war. We had I mean forty eight members of Iran's inner governmental circle I believe were killed.

46:43 They had lost several thousand men, and you don't want to boast about that, and we'd lost twenty. We had them pushed back. They were barely holding the straight, and then the war kind of stopped. So now barely you know, close only counts and horseshoes and hand grenades, right, So I mean, they still hold the straight, and there's this constant back and forth about who's going to let whose ships in. We've got our guys at one end, they've got guns along literally the what do you come the banks of the area. Yeah, it's basically a big river. I mean the Mississippi is two miles across at its widest point, straightforward moves its narrow as it is four point seven. So it's very easy for even a ragtag militia not has a lot of the hoothies to command and control a lot of this area. So we we didn't push that last couple of weeks. And now we're doing this, and we're negotiating with Middle Easterners who tend to be pretty good negotiators on both the Jewish and Arab side, so they'll say things and walk them back a little bit. And Trump, I think, is a big blustery real estate guy, and he'll sort of take sometimes take the first thing they say and post it on Twitter and truth and say, well, looks like we're about to reach a deal. And every time I see that, I kind of went, It's like, no, you're not. You're going to ask for something else. They've got their best guy at the table too, so it's it's just it is what it is. It's not a huge deal except maybe at the pump, but it definitely we're not pursuing the best strategy anymore.

48:10 Well, I agree with you. I thought that this should have been done expeditiously. Had it been done that way, the media would have had less to talk about. The Democrat talking points would have had less. Uh, we'd been over and gas prices to be down. And we're often rolling and dealing with some issues before the midterms, like oh, let's get the let's get the Save Act. Huh, let's get the Voting Act done, Let's get reconciliation done. And then, you know, President Trump he has to acquiesce now and fall back a little bit. He had his you know, his fun you know money that he was given because of you know, the way the government had weaponized against him, and so they paid him one point seven seven six billion dollars. And he says, okay, I'm going to put that I'm not going to take the money typical for him.

48:58 I don't need to. I'm not take the money. He's still not taking a bay check lest the Democrats forget Okay, So he says, no, I'm going to put this into an arena, into a category, into a fun year. Then we can heal some of these people, especially you know, these people that were so damaged on you know, January, the sixth, not to mention others that suffered under the weaponization of the Biden you know, Justice Department. Yeah, so they are two major points there. First of all, for anyone out there in a leadership role, like if you're facing a tough choice, like I always try to make my worst phone calls in the morning, like angry, recalcitrant Kentucky clients, like just you got to get all that out of the way, then you can relax if you're a golfer to do that in the afternoon. And it's the same thing with this, like had we pushed for one more week, I mean, the the Elitiandian units are pretty good, there would have been deaths on both sides.

49:49 We have actually been able to sit them down at the table from a position of strength and say this war is oh so, I mean, that would have been much less painful than this dragging on, dragging on, which is also killing people like has Belah fired a major artillery barrage like yesterday? And I actually I don't know how these I don't know how we can have a situation where major countries are criticized for everything that they do, but the third world dictatorships can do the craziest stuff in the world, and it's just waved off. That's a real problem if you're fighting for our side, like had Israel done what has Ballad did, there would have been months of hysteria. You a genocide from the sky, the death birds are flying, this sort of thing. But anyway, I mean, making the painful decision early is is good.

50:36 I think second thing that I I mean, we're criticizing Trump on this, I do want to shout out kind of the innovative stuff that he vanced, Rubio so on have been doing. I mean, they're actually following up on this fraud story. So they actually investigated the stuff Nick Shirley came up with, which seemed a little edgy, a little out there. If they found out about eighty percent of it was true. So they're actually they're going to send some people to jail. They're investigating lot Omark. They need to be there needs to be people going to jail. Will this this thing because people aren't going to jail and they're getting away with it. It's infecting the culture because other people thinking, well, why should I be concerned about stealing? You know, they're you know, Nancy Pelosi's stealing. Everybody's stealing so now and the general consensus, particularly in California, speaking Nick Shirley, you can take a thousand dollars and not go to jail.

51:26 Yeah, most people are reasonably honorable in the sense of like, won't physically or sexually hurt a kid, and thank God for that, because you can't enforce the law against every person all the time, although in the coming tech era you might be able to which everyone will hate. But anyway, but most people, when it comes to things like theft from large retail stores, there's an element of honor. But a lot of what prevents that is just the idea if I do that, I'm going to get an a misdemeanor charge, I'm going to go to jail for six months, I'll lose my job. I can't do that. If you're in a situation where that absolutely doesn't exist, you're gonna see theft on the part of a third or more of people, and things are gonna become unsustainable. That, by the way, not racism, is why there aren't a lot of say, apple stores in the hood, you know. But if that attitude spreads throughout the country, we're gonna have problems.

52:14 So it's good to see, good to see people getting jailed for this. But there have been a couple of these sort of edgy moves. I mean you mentioned one of them a bit earlier, but I would also shout out, they're indicting Hassan Piker. Yes, so we again, this is this like the Hesbaalah committing war crimes and no one caring. We've had this whole culture of these online streamers. I don't know how much you've been following this, but doing just crazy stuff. I mean, even on the right, we recently saw Chud the Builder get arrested because he will Wanta basically getting in a duel. But on the left there's this entire culture of it. So Hassan took a flotilla to Cuba and they were giving solar panels, they were giving technology it could be used to produce arms.

52:57 They were giving money. They're handing out stacks of cash to people in Havana. This is an interemy country. And Trump and his administration finally said, okay, like if I have to see this video once again, we're inviting the guy. Yes they did, and they did. You know, so I think that we are seeing some kind of moves you wouldn't see from too many administrations. But hopefully we can get a run off the table. I'm with you on that. He's the professor of political science at Kentucky State University the author of Taboo, Ten Facts you Can't Talk About, The one and only Doctor Wilfrid Riley. Thank you, will take care, have a good one. Thank you. Bill. Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it. You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

53:38 So what do you do? You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do. It's not your fault, it's the economy. And guess what If you rack up too much credit card debt, like some of us, you can't pay your bills. Then the credit card companies, as nice as they are, start hounding you for money. Then you start your downward spiral. A smart thing for you to do is to call the Zero Debt They can help you consolidate all your credit card builds into one affordable payment.

That's eight hundred two eight four thirteen forty nine.

54:36 Getting America back on track. Bill Martinez Live, Hey, good morning America. Six minutes. Have to help you out right now. And we've got Michael. Let's with us. Say Michael, how are you do? A bad death? It is always a lot going on at the Capitol, a lot going on on the hill, and uh, that's no different than today, right. Mike is, of course the law enforcement veteran and CEO, founder of invest First of all, let's tackle this deal at Delaney. You know, this facility there, what a what a hot mess. And the governor's mishandling is three ways to Sunday. You know, she's finally backed off a little bit and offering some support, but this thing is just just absurd. You know what she's done in talking about well, she needs to get you know, Ice out of there because it's a disturbance to their community. No, these people, outsiders are a disturbance to the community. And your answer is let's close down Delaney and let's release all the prisoners.

55:40 You want to see a disturbance in your community. Let's release all those criminals that have raped kids, have killed people, you know, in every kind of unimaginable offense and criminal offense. And you want that in your neighborhood. Good luck. Well, I'll tell you. But we've got some great news for surely, and that is yesterday afternoon the president's sign in executive order classifying ANTIFUD. Now is a terrorist organization, going to go after all their funding. And you know, they're the ones that are outside sources of sorrels and people like that are funding them. As you mentioned, this is not New Jerseys. This is people bringing all over the country out of town higher guns, shall we see to create these dis services. Well, now we're going to go after and lock up the people that are putting the money up to hire them. That's good to see how fast it's participated, real quickly, Bill, I mean it's hey, if they want to go to jail, more part to it, we're happy to accommody.

56:38 Yeah, exactly. I don't think they should be disappointed if that's where they want to go, do you. But we're going to make sure of it. In fact, we're going to make it rusty for them. Bill, give them a real full. Experience, right exactly. Then they can see for themselves the kind of meals that are served there in Delaney, right. Exactly, no question about it. They're going to see just how well fed they really are. Well, you know all this posturing and you know the Democrats that they see something. I mean, this is ram Emmanuel. Don't allow a good crisis to go to waste, even if you have to create one. Whether you're the Southern Poverty Law Center or the Democratic Party, they are experts in creating this kind of chaos. They have no solution.

57:20 I mean, they're not coming in saying, hey, Michael, I think if we did this, this would be better, or anything like that. No, let's just we hate Trump. We hate anything that has to do with with MAGA or you know, it almost seems like stability, even stability, they're against that. Oh, there are no questions, especially as we get closer to the midterm elections. Bill, you know, this is all about election politics, and what is their narrative, what is their goal? Anything that's positive towards Trump. We have to destroy. So ah, we're getting criminals all the street. Well, can't do that. Let's get them back on the street. Let's raise crime backups that we can say is policies have failed. Oh, we think we've got people that are not sympathetic, that ice are nothing but thugs. Let's play that up for all we can. Let's create as much having and controversy.

58:04 Can't find anybody that wants to join us on that or everybody loves to get paid. Well, we've got plenty of people who want to destroy this country and destroy this administration with plenty of money, so they're willing to put up cash. We'll start paying you to come show out a little bit. And that's what they're doing. They've been very effective at it in the past, and the past they've been effective this time around. I think America sees it for what it is. Bill Well, the eighty ninety percent of Americans who are starting, as you say, starting to see this, must really see this with their eyes wide open, that this is purely anti American. The movement is to destroy America. This is what's happening in our country today. This isn't just some agitators that are angry and upset about some Their endgame is just like Iran's endgame. They want to destroy and completely annihilate the opposition, and right now they see opposition here in America as Americans and the American system in this great American idea, And what a great time to fold us up on our two hundred and fifty year anniversary.

59:12 Michael, Oh, you're exactly right. There is the upset that we've survived two hundred and fifty years. Not just survived, we've prospered you in fifty years. They're definitely making it their objective to make this the last time we get to celebrate that scenerizing what you said, just to show how broad and how depth their corruption runs. Talking about around for a moment, you know, there's a lot going on there. We could go into a lot of detail, but let me give you one detail that most people do not understand or really haven't been apprized of. What's making around so difficult. Besides the fact that the Iranians are just totally have lost their mind, they never had a mind to lose, to be honest with you, Bill, but what's really pulling the strings is not the Iranians. It is our own people treating us, people such as the Clintons and the Obamas. And you said, what are they pulling. Well, let me tell you what we have been able to or finalize in the documentation. Now, but where do you think the uranium win that Hillary sold to the Russians? And why do you think they don't want to turn that uranium back over to the United States.

1:00:17 Because if that is the case, then you have a question. You don't even have to have an investigation bill. You have treason edding, inter betting the enemy. And so you have the players on this side of the ocean, on America soil, who hate this country to begin on, as I said, the Clinton's, on the Obamas, et cetera. And remember now they've all got connections in Iran. They served as secretary of State or the president, and you know they've still got connections over the Pentagon, et cetera. And it's all part of the One World government. By the way, this is outside of America. This is the one World government. You know. Excuse me for interrupting just a little bit, because I want people to have the background again. Remind them of the Hillary Clinton deal.

1:00:59 What was it? Twenty five percent of our uranium was sold. To Russia, who then turned around and gave it to Iran, is what it appears down with the validation. Is interesting when you're being to look at the facts, where did that twenty five percent of the dollars go to? Because that was some expensive stuff. Yes, if you look at it and actually went to the Clinton Foundation, you can go to your ibag pocket a taxpayers. It went to the Clinton Foundation. Okay, so who. Owned who owned the uranium was webs So we we get ripped off, stolen from once again we get bupkis and the Clinton Foundation says, thank you very much. Yeah, it's all of those pay for play type deals.

1:01:39 He was secretary of State, of course, you know Obama was the president, and uh it was you know, very eavey for them to put this deal together. But they don't want you and I to know about it. So now that we have come to the point, now that we are taking the action, that we are in Iran and we're coming close to a deal, what do you think they're doing all day long on the phone? Oh scrambling? Oh yeah, you know, you can't do that. Whatever you do, just just just hold off, you know, give it to them again, you know, tell them you're gonna sign it. The staff you into five when they call. But five to five and say you can't make the deal. Whatever, whatever you have to do. They're scrambling. They're doing it for what makes. So much sense. That makes so much sense, Michael. And the deal is is you're gonna tell me Barack Obama didn't get his cut on it.

1:02:24 Oh, Barack Obama's got so many cuts. Bill, it's amazing that, you know. I mean, I think you're gonna have to bump George Soros and put Barack Obama in terms of who's got the most cash now. He is just totally right the US Treasury and just from one deal after another, from getting paid royalties for Obamacare, because after all's got his name on it. He should be getting you know, fees for every policy sold to doing just what we talked about, the cutting deals, selling our assets, American assets to foreign governments, setting up you know, in g o's or shell companies, and wish you could avert the payment to so that he can collect it later. It's just beginning to come out how bad it really is. Build.

1:03:05 But that's what I want people to understand. This is what's driving November. They don't want you to know how much they've screwed you over and so they know that if you continue to give the Republicans control and the House and the Senate with this administration. And remember, we're having to replace some of these Republicans too, Bill, because some of them, you know, just simply change their their their their initial they didn't change their values.

1:03:51 Let's go to break. We've got more from Michael. Let's after this stay with us. This report is sponsored by IBM as AI transforms how work gets done. A new IBM CEO study finds success will depend on how quickly organizations redesign their workforce. CEOs agree people are the priority. Eighty three percent of CEOs say AI success depends more on people's adoption than the technology, but many organizations are still struggling to redesign roles, build new skills, and rethink how teams collaborate. This gap is already showing up in the workplace. CEOs say only twenty five percent of employees are using AI as part of their jobs, even though eighty six percent believe their workforce have the skills to collaborate with AI. Looking ahead, CEOs expect the impact on jobs to accelerate by twenty twenty eight.

1:04:35 Twenty nine percent of employees may need reskilling for different roles, while fifty nine percent will likely require upskilling to perform their current roles more effectively. The findings suggest the real challenge isn't just adopting AI, it's aligning jobs, skills, and ways of working with this speed of AI transformation. To learn more, visit IBM dot com slash IBV.

1:08:26 Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here with the law enforcement veteran and CEO founder of invest USA, Michael Lets. Michael, how did this come to light? What strings did you have to pull? In terms of I think there was like a thread or something you start pulling a thread, and then all of a sudden, you go, oh my gosh, there's Hillary, there's Bill, there's a foundation. You know, it's amazing, Bill, how much so if they didn't cover up, I mean, if if I were to switch, Hatch'd be on their side. I'd have to take the hatback off. I say, this is the most lousiest organizational planning I've ever Why did you get so loud that I'll tell you why I think it is? Bill? You know they've got they've been using our assets. There's divisions in or within the CIA. You know, within the FBI there's there are still tons, not one or two, there are tons of agents that are corrupt. Okay, you know, I don't want to shed a negative light on the positive ones, but trust me, we've got plenty of negative ones that have sold this country out. And so the question becomes, why did we not get this picked up on this before? They've had decades to plan this, They've been doing it for years. They've got all these people lined up, and as you begin to look at just like with the Bureau having all these burn bags, it had all these emails and documentation that Bill, you would never really want to see, have them see the light of day, and they throw it in a room and don't even make sure that it's been burned and destroyed before they leave. You've just got such craziness. I mean, it's like they're acting like to their amateurs. And it

1:09:57 really is surprising to me. Although when you begin to think about it, those who really have the experience and those who really know what they're doing, have a love for the country, they would never get caught with doing that to to begin with. It's the people that were hiring. Let me just get you in off the street. I'll teach you what you need to know. Just do exactly what we tell you to do, and you'll be fine. And those are the ones that have been made all the mistakes. And so we're beginning to find all their evidence, and they know that they're finding and they know that we've established military tribunals. Now, now remember the purpose you've talked about on your show. For a military tribunal, We're gonna bypass this corrupt judicial system. Why do I say corrupt judital system. I'm let me just give you an example. Bill. Just in Minnesota, we had a you know, a case twenty four point five million dollars a fraud on we were talking about the Medicare issue, black and white. Jury didn't even take more than an hour. You're guilty, an activist judge decided, you know what, I don't thank you debated long enough. We're gonna throw it out. We're gonna throw the whole convection, the whole thing out, Make the Justice Department do it overget if they even want to proceed.

1:10:54 That's the kind of corruption we have. That's on one level, but it's all over the country. On Juditalact. We can't afford to allow these people to escape justice. Military tribunals are best bad at doing that. They know we've established them, were charging them now with getting investigations done, scaring them to death? What is their goal? How do if I were advising them, how do they get around this. They've got to win the election in November. They've got to change the attention, the narrative. Oh, we're going to peace the president. They've got to. Make him a lame dug. They have to win in twenty twenty eight to a democratic president. Then you come in and just say, okay, guys, everything you're working on, throw it out. The garbage this time, make sure you carry it to the trash dove, but you watch it burn, you know, and make sure that it's gone for good.

1:11:39 That is what they are desperately trying to get accomplished, and we're not gonna let them do it. Bill. Yeah, well, you know this is what evil people do, Michael. They're so arrogant. You know, pride always comes before the fall, and you know the fall is going to be huge because this isn't just a year or two worth of pride. We're talking decades of pride and corruption. That these guys are scrambling ladies, scrambling for their very their very lives because if they're found out, I mean, somebody's got to go to jail. See, this is what's this is what's problematic here in our country. And how this this, you know, it's like a pandemic of its own, Michael. This stuff is happening within the government, and now the everyday citizen says, hey, why should I have a conscience? So what I take a thousand dollars, I smash and grab, take a thousand dollars.

1:12:35 So what you know? You know, Nancy Pelosi's running away with millions, you know, Hillary and Bill they're running away with millions. I mean, this infects our culture, and it strikes at our very morbile, mortal backbone. And we're compromised in a big way here. So if we do not return the levers of government where it belongs according to the Constitution, and we the people, uh, we're in trouble. We're we're already in a down, downward spiral. Anyway, Well, hues illustration. I got a lot of people made at me the last few days. Bill. You're probably here now on the hill here shortly, but here's the analogy. We're all frustrated and upset what's going on in around My gas prices are continuing to be high. You know, I want us out today, Bill or you doubls and so we're all setting, you know, well, what should we do?

1:13:26 What should we do? My apointment was very clear, hold on, forget about it, Rod. Let me tell you where the real problem is America. We promised America that we would hold people accountable. Now we've done a hell of a job of pointing out where the nefarious actions occur. But can you tell me one person of significance that we've indicted? I said, so what is America? Thank you? Well, why do I care about your rationale about Iran? I can't even get you to pick up a person that's stealing from me. So yeah, I'm just gonna instead of being willing to bear the costs. Yeah, I may have to pay gas a little higher protect our children in the future, to make sure we destroy a terrorist country, you know, to make sure they don't have nuclear weapons, et cetera, et cetera. Instead of listening to all the logic, I'm not gonna listen to anything you have to say.

1:14:15 I don't believe what you have to say. Everybody, you know, nobody's held accountable anymore. That's where we need to get back to, is the matter of principle. Implement the principle that we have. We've got plenty of files and plenty of documentation and diabets could be flying out the door within the hour. Make it happen. And then you watch how America say, whoa, We're really serious about getting back to the constitution. We're serious about making this country great again. So tell me again, what's the problem with it? R in why I'm okay, and now I understand. Instead of demanding that if I'm not out of here by five. I'm gonna turt on you. Now, I get it. I'm with you. Let's work this other policy amountter together. But right now we've lost their confidence in their trust and that it's unfortunate, but we need to gain it back and do it very quickly.

1:15:01 Well, you're exactly right, because it is a distraction and it clogs the lines of communication, and more importantly, it violates the trust value. That's good. That's the key, right, that is the key, and you can't you can't run a government. You can't run a country without trust. Yeah. Amen, Speaking of which you kind of hinted on this one. You got a former CIA official. He's arrested after the FEDS find forty million dollars in gold bars. What is a CIA official doing with forty million dollars in gold bars? Well, it goes a lot deeper. I'm glad you brought it up. Let's let's take a shovel out and dig gets a little bit deeper. All right, First of all, why do you have a senior official nobody held accountable? Well, did you say you don't want let me tell you what me by accountability? So Bill, you come to me and say, look, I've got the Czech government and you know they need read this if I'm going to keep the lunch of connivation?

1:15:59 So why did I say, great, Bill, who is the contact? Why don't you set up lunch and let me make sure that you know that I understand what their need is and what we're getting in return. Why don't you say, oh, how much you need? How much? Okay, here it is and never ask you a question for decades? Oh now he wants a gold watch? Okay, go buy what don't you you just just send us? It is crazy to me, Bill, that that is an indication of what we have been experiencing in our agencies. Absolutely, when they're a rogue like this, there is no accountability. I think everybody would understand. Bill. If you went into your boss's office said I need a couple million dollars, we don't ask why, just just can you make sure it's in my account? By five, they'd escorts you out. They were nuts. So why had what?

1:16:43 What are we allowing our government agencies to do this too? As for Bill, they they'll be doing it for decades. Right exactly, So uh, again it is there. Accountability hadn't been yet not this particular incidence. Yep, we got him, and yep we're picking up the goal by the question question is I'm not so much worried about him, of course, and he's gonna get you know, I want to know straight up the chain, at the very top, including the presidency, how in the world did this transpire, because quite frankly, I got a real difficulty believe in that the director at the time, whoever the director was when it first started, didn't know. And if the director knew, I got a sneakyt suspicion that the top of the ticket which you put in, the commander in chief, whoever it was at that time, would have known. Why am I using februarys at that time. We're still investigating. I don't know when he started this using the various activities, but I can tell you this bill it wasn't yesterday.

1:17:33 It's been back far enough. We're having to really start to dig. Well again, you know, we look at the arrogance. You know, this guy did not I mean, this is a CIA operative, Give me a break. He doesn't take it offshore, He hides it inside his home, put in the closet. Well, it's going two bars Well, I was four and I was ten, not twenty nine is fifty and he just he figures, well it's working now, I mean, why change anything. Nobody seems to care exactly. He might as well parked it in Joe Biden's garage next to the corvette. Huh. He probably would have been better off of you to have done so. He had probably had a better excuse. Might unless Hunter stubbed his toe on it. Then we know what would happen to that role quick. So it was hard in that sense. Bill. He figured if you left it in Joe's garage that Hunter would have traded a cash it in for cocaine and it's all been gone.

1:18:21 So in some hot and some hot women, of course, yeah, because he's got he's got taste. Well, we got to leave it there. Michael LED's the law enforcement veteran and CEO founder of invest USA.

He's now the one and only Brian kin Cannon and he's the head of Vanguard Digital Advisors. And you know, because we're going to talk about you know, this month of course, marking the midpoint of the year, making it the perfect time to pause and ask am I on track with my financial goals?

1:23:16 Now? That'll wake you up at three o'clock in the morning with that question. Well, help is on the way. He's the financial expert himself, Brian Kincannon. As I mentioned, he's the head of Vanguard Digital Advisor. He's sharing simple ways people can revisit their short and long term financial goals and plan for the future. Brian, Welcome to Michelle. Good to have you with us, Great thanks for having me. Well, it's the season. It's a good time, is ever right to check on our financial goals and habits. We're halfway there through another year already, can you believe it? Yeah? I mean, if you look at our research, we know that most people they start the year with the greatest. Of financial intentions.

1:23:57 You know, they have a great New Year's resolution goal, but by the end of the year, only one in four people they're actually able to stick through. And follow through on that plan. With summer coming up, as you mentioned, this is a time where it's common for people to drift from that plan. Lots of activities, lots of travel, spending can creep up over the next few months, and so yeah, it's a great time for a quick check in on that plan. If you have one, dust it off, try to recommit to your goals and finish this year strong. All right, So what's the first step that you recommend? Yeah, well, It's a good question because I think a lot of people are feeling stuck at times and not sure where to get started. We just recently did a survey sixty percent of our younger investors' answer we're asking just that question of where do I even get started?

1:24:42 I'm not sure where to go. And so for those people, you know, we like to say, keep it simple to start. Step number one, just create a clear savings target right for your retirement goal, and then step number two, be consistent about hitting that target month over month. It sounds very simple, and it can be simple if you let automation be your friend. Right. A lot of people they use auto pay right to pay down their debts month to month so they don't fall behind on those bills. The same can apply to your investments. Right pay yourself first, right auto pay. Into those investment accounts. Therefore you're always making progress month to month during all periods of the markets. Yeah, because it is a process, isn't it. And the thing is is that once you set up that process, and like you say, when you have it, you know, set up as an automated deal, you're kind of surprised, you know, you look at it, maybe six months later and you go, whoa, hey, I'm making some headway here, and and it wasn't as painful as I thought it might have been when I first got started.

1:25:43 Right, Yeah, that's exactly right. Right, small amounts can grow to big figures over time when you're disciplined about investing. You know, we often tell our investors, right, just saving twenty five dollars a week, if you're able to do that for thirty years at a conservative growth rate between five and six percent, right, that's going to grow to more than one hundred thousand dollars. Right, So these small numbers, they can really add up to setting yourself up for future success. Your future self will absolutely. Thank you that you took out the time now to set up that automated contribution into your accounts. Well, Brian, let's break down Digital Advisor for the folks you know, and how you could make the process easier for us, and you know how it actually works.

1:26:29 Yeah, So, ease is absolutely the name of the game with what we're attempting to do here with Vanguard Digital Advisor. When clients enter the service, we're just trying to find out a few basic pieces of information to start, right, what's their current financial situation. Two, what's their risk tolerance? And then three and most importantly, what are those goals? Right, that's what people are investing for. Is it retirement, is it a kid's education. Maybe there's a home purchase, or a wedding on the horizon, right, maybe all those things. Once we have that information at hand, that's where the portfolio construction process begins, and so we can go ahead and create a broadly diversified portfolio of low cost muta funds and ETFs you know, typically gives our clients coverage to more than ten thousand stocks across the globe.

1:27:14 And then from there. Once that portfolio is set up, we can manage it day to day and so as those hopefully automatic contributions are coming in, as the risk and balance of equities and bonds changes in that portfolio, we can rebalance that portfolio and even help clients minimize taxes as well. We actually hear from our clients that we save them about one hundred hours per year on average, as well as a lot of stress. Well, and I imagine your clients run the entire gamut from barely experience, no experience to lots of experience. So let's address that person who says, well, you know, I got a four oh one K. It's performing okay. Right now, the market is pretty hardy and so it looks positive.

1:27:59 But you know, to have a system like this that really puts the power in your hands as opposed to somebody else, Right, this is the big difference that Vanguard is offering. Yeah, that's right, and as you mentioned, it runs the gamut. We have nineteen year olds and ninety one year olds in the service. Average age for us is around forty. You know, young professionals growing up with the services is definitely meant to accommodate all different personas that might enjoy the benefits of automated investing. You mentioned to four one K. What's helpful about a service like this is it puts your investments in context. Right. You may be sitting there saying, hey, I have an automatic contribution set up. I'm building some savings, but is it enough? Am I on track? Do I need to save more? How do I balance that home goal with the education goal?

1:28:47 Right? What's nice about this is we're creating a holistic financial plan that ties all those questions together. And so, you know, a client logging in they're going to say, hey, look, I have a ninety percent chance of hitting my retirement goal and I'm a little bit, you know, off track on that home goal. What are some tips to get back on track? How much more do. I need to save if I want to get that home goal on track? And so that's the beauty of this software is it's optimizing your financial plan, making suggestions on how to improve your financial outlook. Well, you know, most people, they've been in and around investing whatsoever. They know the name Vanguard is a strong branded name. And so what's part of this program is all this experience over the years that you've developed to do one thing, and that is to you know, help the everyday american, you know, reach some level of financial wealth that they only maybe before only could hope to possibly hit.

1:29:45 Right, you know that that's right. Our mission of Vanguard has given investors the best chance of investment success. That's what we live for here. We feel strongly that financial advice should not be a luxury good, and so we're in the business of breakin that sophisticated investment advice historically reserved for millionaires to everybody. And that's the power of technology. Technology has allowed us to make investing much more approachable as well as much more. Accessible than it ever has been. You know, in this case with Digital Advisor, the investment minimum is only one hundred dollars to get access to that professional investing well. And I got to imagine, Brian, especially with these new Trump accounts, that this is opening up a whole in your venue for you. Right.

1:30:31 Yeah, look, Trump accounts. There aren't a lot of free lunches in finance. We know, the employer matches one, and now the Trump accounts are another. It's a great opportunity if you have a young kid. In my case, I have a newborn. I have a ten month old little girl at home, and so she's eligible for that thousand dollars deposit. All babies born yep after January first, twenty twenty five eligible for that deposit. And so yeah, it's a great new avenue to help our future general, you know, wake up eighteen years from now and have a really nice start and off to the races for the retirement goals. And even for those kids that are not necessarily getting the thousand dollars kiss from the government. You know, anytime we can get a kiss from the government. That's great.

1:31:15 But even kids, you can open up an investment account through Vanguard to help them along, even if they're eight or nine years old. Right, yeah, that's right, we have we have because tootial accounts available at Vanguard, and so such a great way to you know, give give the gift of investing to you know, to your errors and set them up for long term success. And yeah, back back to the Trump accounts, right, anyone under age eighteen, they are eligible to set up that that account. You just fill out Form forty five forty seven through the IRS's website and you can start getting that open in just a matter of minutes. Later this summer, those accounts will be open for you. That's excellent, Brian. We got to wrap things up. So I'm going to weave into questions here what are some other ways or tool like did you advisor can help answer bigger financial questions? It's a big question and where can they go for more information?

1:32:06 Sure? Yeah, so with Digital Visor one of the greatest things that beyond investments, it can be your one stop shop for all of your finances. And so we connect your bank accounts, your mortgages, your auto loans, your credit cards, your investment accounts, a Vanguard and elsewhere all together in one spot, and it gives you a nice bird's eye view on your entire financial picture. And with that in hand, then we can nudge you to go after important financial timeless tips. We mentioned the employer match another one. Once we have insight into your debt. If you have any high paying or high interest debt, we absolutely encourage you to pay that down right exceptectually. If it's an excess of ten percent, like those credit cards, that could be a really big headwind to long term wealth creation. And then also think about things like emergency savings. We have high yielding cash accounts that we can make sure that you're tucking aside. We recommend and at least two thousand dollars into emergency savings, but better yet, if you can grow that to three to six months of your living expenses to get a true comfort comfort in case of an income or an expense shock. And so once we get those foundations in place for our investors, then we can make sure that they're investing with confidence for those medium and longer term goals.

1:37:36 Hey, we're back with You're glad you could join us. Bill Martinez here along with Louisianazon, Jeff Careerer, Hey Jeff, how are we doing? Hey? Doing great? Uh, definitely a lot better than the Democrats, I think. You know, can you imagine? I mean what a nightmare? I mean you got Jill Biden out there trying to rewrite history that obviously everybody knows about. Maybe the Democrats are starting to wake up and going really, he wasn't working, he didn't he didn't have his act together. He wasn't sharp as a bend as we were told. And you got come on, Kamala Harris and are one hundred and seven days of Nightmare book tour? Uh you've got uh what Graham Plattner, James tell Rico Mamdani and then the two governors that have lost their skulls that said, hey, we're going to govern his moderates, you know, uh, Mikey Cheryl and Abigail Spamberger. And then in the in contrast with all that, let's go to California, the poster child of of democratic socialism and uh totalitarianism. And you got a guy there, uh, a former YouTuber and uh, you know, an internet star, and he's just talking common sense, just says Hey, you know, it's not about being a Democrat or Republican. It's just, hey, we got problems here in River City. We got people that are drug addled. They need help. Uh, you know, we got poop in the streets, you know, houses that have been burned down that I'm in danger. I mean, just some real obvious stuff that

1:39:08 you know, you think that your your government should be handling for you. Right. But other than that, the Democrats are doing well. And then uh, you know, don't forget Chuck Schumer and Haqeen Jeffries and uh, you know their lineup for twenty twenty eight. The leading candidate I saw in a recent poll was Pete Buddha Judge. Yeah, I mean, and and come on, I mean he's no president and AOC so I mean it's Buddha Judge, AOC new some of course. Harris, Yeah, Katla Harris is still trying, but nobody cares. You know, there's no there's no moderate. Uh, there's nobody there that can appeal to be on the far left base of the Democrat Party. So you know, the Republicans again have a real opportunity. You know, California is a great uh interesting experiment here will the voters who have been voting for left wing Democrats for decades take it chance on a common sense Republican who's a businessman, who's from the outside, who has great ideas, who was shaking things up, and we'll see, I mean, we'll know.

1:40:11 And he certainly has, you know, created a lot of interest in that race. I love what he's done. I think he is a sort of Trumpian in his in his boldness, and the fact that he comes from reality TV, just like President Trump did. So I'm pulling for him, Bill, I'm pulling for him. Well, I am as well as being you know, you know, I was born and raised in California. I've been here in Florida now for the last fifteen sixteen years, but I still have children and grandchildren there, great grandchildren even and and it's sad to see what's happened to that great state, that once golden state, which I think it can be recovered, but it's going to take more than you know, Spencer Pratt. And that's what concerns me is that, you know, like Trump, I mean, Trump went in, you know, went into the deep state headfirst, and all the establishment types, even on his own party, and Spencer Pratt. He's going to need reinforcements. And but I think that where his reinforcements are going to come from, Jeff is from the It's from or it's going to be organic. It's going to be from the people out there in Los Angeles and said, hey enough, and they're going to back him up because he's not going to be able to count on a lot of these councils. Well, people that have been so established, go ahead.

1:41:30 I think the polls are not accurately counting his support. My impression is, you know, he's got more support than the polls. I mean, the polls are showing like a three way race, very close, right, and I think he's going to have more support than the polls indicate. And listen, I mean the people out there, I mean, maybe they're they're tired of seeing the homeless, they're seeing the drug addicted, they're tired of the crime, they're tired of incompetence. I mean their homes burned down. I mean, and he comes from a real point of experience. I mean, he dealt with that, He saw the incompetence, It had consequences for him, and I just love the freshness that he's offering the humor.

1:42:10 I mean, he's going right after them, right, And that's that's a great example for what Republicans need to do. We've got too many Republican candidates that play it safe. They don't want to shake things up. You know, the same kind of people we see in the Senate that don't like to work with President Trump. His nominees aren't getting confirmed, his agenda's not getting passed. We have a stalemate going on. He's got all these rhinos that are trying to stop everything. So Spencer Pratt is the kind of future I'd like to see for the Republican Party as opposed to somebody like John Thune or you know, Mitch McConnell. For goodness sakes, Well, yeah, it's what he calls observational politics.

1:42:52 You go out there, you see a problem and you come up with some ideas. What a nice concept, right, right? I mean right? And the deal is also you know, you know, you talk about these rhinos, and these people are getting the way. Look look what happened with this bill. Well, the money that Trump was paid for the warfare, you know, lawfair that was raged against him. So he gets right one point seven seven six billion. I'm going to put it into a fund to heal people that have been subjected to lawfair in the Biden administration. And the Rhinos go in the fetal position. The Democrats already there, were already primed for that, but then the Rhinos join in their camp. And now that gets in the way of the reconciliation bill. Well, Trump goes, okay, I'll play the game.

1:43:40 We'll just take it off the table. We want to talk about. Yeah, and let's get the reconciliation bill passed and then we'll deal with that later, right. Right, right. And in the meantime, the people that were abused during J six don't get compensated. In the meantime, are judges and our ambassadors and all these Trump nominees are getting confrons earned. In the meantime, the Save America Act continues, uh not to get passed. So uh, the Republicans in the Senate are not delivering for the people that put them there to get things done to work with President Trump. And my worry, Bill is that's going to really hurt us in the midterms if we don't deliver for the voters that put us there. I mean, it's you know, it's simple. I mean, you go up there to get a mission done. If you're not going to get the mission done, the people are gonna uh you know, uh, make sure that you pay the price. And for the Republicans, it could be losing control of the Congress. I mean President Trump can't do it, all right, He's got to have some support.

1:44:38 Well, well, Trump is dragging them through, you know, He's like dragging them off the beaches of Omaha. You know, come on, let's go, you know, and and dragging these uh, these politicians that are so used to you say, as the status quo and uh, and they're getting the way and getting in the way, and they're gonna end up like you and I talked about a couple of weeks ago, this is gonna be Obamacare one more time. You kept promising you were going to re pill in place, so you didn't do it, and guess what happened. You paid the price. Right, That's exactly right. And you know, I need to see some urgency. I need to see some action. We got five months bill, five months, and it keeps getting closer, and I keep getting worried about it. I'm hearing that the president is going to issue an executive order soon about elections, and you know that'll hopefully help guarantee the safety of our elections because the Save America Act is obviously not going to get passed, so he's he's.

1:45:31 Going to have to do it. There's been some minor headway with an executive order that even the Court's supported, So we'll see what happens, you know, at first draft, because the Democrats aren't going to take it lying down. They're going to be fighting and fussing every inch of the way, even though you have, like you said, the Save America Act. You know, this is an eighty percent, eighty twenty issue, right press don't care, you know. And look at what they're doing. Everything he does, the second he signs that executive order, they take it to court. I mean, the second he tries to beautify the Kennedy Center, they take it to court. Compensate people that have been damaged, they take it to court. Everything he is doing, I mean, it's just it's amazing the refuge that they have among these liberal judges.

1:46:14 We've got a liberal judiciary bill. Oh no doubt about it. And there needs to be some serious consideration on impeaching some of these people because they're idiotic and somebody needs to step in and do something about it. I mean, look what Trump's doing, to your point, all getting us ready for the two hundred and fiftieth birthday. You would think that, hey, look at our two hundred and fifty birthday, had time to celebrate. And look what he's done in transforming Washington, d C. All the upgrades, getting rid of crime, the drug infestation, everything, And I mean he's beautifying Washington, DC again. It's amazing and he gets zero credit for it. And all they say is that he's trying to do vanity projects and it's all about him. You know, I think he's trying to help the citizens of Washington, d C.

1:46:58 By creating a safe city, a city that has attractions. I mean, everybody should be behind this. Look at all these artists now that have gotten out of the freedom to fifty concerts. You know, it's it's disheartening that politics has got to get into everything. Right well, because that's what happened. That's the way the Democrats like it to be. It's it's really an infectious disease. And you know what should always happen is politics should be down. You know down line of the people and what's happened. It's preempted itself. It's put itself in priority above the people. And when that happens, that's why we're at each other's throats and we get the kind of politics that we're dealing with right now because it's all partisan.

1:47:44 And back you know, it was different in the era of Reagan, in the era of Gingrich. I mean, you had the parties working together, You had balanced budgets, you had surpluses back then. I mean we have had a surplus in twenty five years, but I mean they cut the budget together, they reformed welfare together, they did some pretty important things. And now there's no cooperation. There's no chance that the parties will work together to get anything meaningful done. Because back then, Jeff, they were of one mind. They knew what hill we were going to conquer. It was just a process. Okay, you're gonna do it from the left, you're gonn do for the right, but we're going to after the hill. Today it's like, forget about the hill. I mean they want the absolute annihilation of the American dream.

1:48:29 Yeah, and that's the difference. The Democrat Party has gone so far left. They've been taken over by communists and socialists and people like Bill Clinton who were sort of a moderate on some issues. They don't exist. There's no blue dog Democrats. There's no they're not They're not allowed in the tents anymore. Yeah, they're kicked out of the tent. They're not allowed. So that's the situation that we're dealing with. And meanwhile, hey, we the people, we got to put up with them, and you know, here we are, you know, to your point, Jeff, it's like we're negotiating with the Taliban or you know, the IRGC. You know what I'm saying. I mean, Jeff, I mean Hakeem Jefferies is a left wing radical. I mean Chuck Schumer. I mean that's there, that's their leadership. I mean, people running for president are far left. So yeah, we gotta we've got to deal with that. And I wish we had Republicans with a spine up there, would stand for our values, who would represent the people that sent them up there. But unfortunately we just have too many marshmallows.

1:49:30 So it's gonna be for Donald Trump, though, thank god for Donald Trump showing them what a spine looks like, right. Yeah, and you would have thought that that would have rubbed off on more of these people. Uh, and it really hasn't. I mean, you don't see a lot of people emulating him. I mean he stands alone. I mean, there's not a lot of people in Congress that show that kind of toughness. There's really not. Well, look what's happening. The market is starting to spin them out though, right. I mean you look at the things we did our We did our job here in Louisiana. We got rid of hoppel on Cassidy, yes, and Texas got rid of Cornin and we got to keep doing it. But the problem is they're going to be up there for seven or eight more months and it's going to be it's going to be a tough next few months, that's for sure.

1:50:18 Well not for the faint of heart, right, I mean, freedom comes at a cost, ladies and gentlemen.
