At 177 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 4: that time, you know, the interest rates were like sixteen percent, 178 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 4: the unemployment was eight percent. You had some horrific numbers. 179 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: I don't know that that play is going to work 180 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: for the Democrats if they say to people, were you 181 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 4: better off under Joe Biden than you were under Ronald 182 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 4: Reagan than you were under Donald Trump? I think that 183 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 4: that would be a very That's what's One of the 184 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 4: ABC commentators said, I just don't think that it is 185 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: quite analogous to nineteen eighty in my opinion. 186 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: Paul, I'll tell you what. You look at your earnings, portfolio, 187 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: retirement portfolio.

The idea of the guests at the 300 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: speech were first developed, I believe by Ronald Reagan. I 301 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: don't remember President Carter or President Ford using that device, 302 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: but ever since Democratic and Republican presid cidents have have brought, 303 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: you know, American heroes to Congress and and and given 304 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: the speech and incorporated their experience in the speech. I 305 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: remember Ronald Reagan brought in the fella who when that 306 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: plane crashed. It was nineteen eighty one out of National Airport, 307 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: and there was a fella. His first name was Lenny. 308 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: I wish I could remember his last name, who dove 309 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: into the Potomac on a January day and tried to 310 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: save some people. And so, but he brought that to 311 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: perfection tonight. He covered a lot of territory and again 312 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: a long speech. But normally when he speaks at a 313 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: rally and he kind of drifts and rifts or whatever, 314 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm bored and I flipped the channel. But tonight that 315 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: was that was entertaining television, and entertaining is something you 316 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: have to do this these days as a as a politician. 317 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: I have to entertain.

I thank 345 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 8: you a little bit on my phone, but there was 346 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 8: a delay with the radio and the phone. I said, 347 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 8: ask screw it. I'm just gonna listen to the radio 348 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 8: and I can imagine what the people look like. I 349 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 8: have a good imagination. I thought he did a good 350 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 8: job tonight. You know, he honored people that deserve to 351 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 8: be honored. Maybe a little extra pomp and circumstance with 352 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 8: the hockey team, but hey, we haven't won since Lake Placid, 353 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 8: So that was I mean, that's an amazing feat, you know. 354 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 8: But they did go extra on that. But hey, it 355 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 8: was an amazing feat that the USA hockey team, you know, 356 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 8: killed it, you know. And but and I was glad 357 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 8: that he's he wants to make a lot to stop 358 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 8: corporations from buying single family homes. 359 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 3: I love that. 360 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: I just agree with you on that that's something that 361 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: the Democrats should be smart to fall in line and 362 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: say let's pass that unanimously. 363 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 8: Well, exactly because there's a housing crisis. So if we're 364 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 8: building all these ex all tons of times, including Bill 365 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 8: Riccue here, we're going to put up units for housing, 366 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 8: and fine, you know that's fine, probably four thousand units 367 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 8: or something. And but but it helps to just stop 368 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 8: corporations from doing that. So but it was a good speech. 369 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 8: He didn't really talk about how he could save us 370 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 8: more enough food bills, but I think food bills are 371 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 8: actually going down. The price of eggs have gone down 372 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 8: enough that i'd buy a bought them recently. But but 373 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 8: the food pill seems to be going down a little bit. 374 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 8: I'm saying, yes. 375 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: It is, and and and gas being less expensive will 376 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: bring the cost of everything down because everything you and 377 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm buying a sore is shipped by truck at some point. 378 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 8: True. 379 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, land planes or trains in parking lots at at 380 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: costco or or at market basket. 381 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 8: That's right. They have to be shipped over true, so 382 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 8: so true. But uh, but sometimes you got to say, hey, companies, 383 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 8: bring your prices down. Gas has gone down, You're paying 384 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 8: less than fuel prices. It seems to be. It seems 385 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 8: to be going down. We wanted to go down fast. 386 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 8: But it's only been a year that he's been in 387 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 8: the presidency, and so you've got to be patient. But 388 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 8: I wish he kind of made it would have been 389 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 8: nicely made light of or or brought to light that 390 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 8: that what's in the ice, you know, working with ICE 391 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 8: to be better. 392 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 393 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 8: I don't think he was going to admit that, but 394 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 8: Ice has been a little extra aggressive. I can understand 395 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 8: why it's. 396 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: But he also he sort of steered away that. I mean, 397 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: they he didn't emphasize it. I think that he's smart 398 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: enough to realize that there was not a good look 399 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: what was going on in Minnesota.
