Hey, 103 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: the President announced these accounts today. I'm a huge fan 104 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: of this. This has nothing to do with politics or party. 105 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: This is just smart. This is the miracle of compounding interest. 106 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 2: We ought to be thinking this way a lot more, 107 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: as Americans and members of a first world society. Right. 108 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: We always marvel at what they do in some of 109 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 2: these Middle Eastern countries where they have oil wealth and 110 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: the Saudis and they have all that, you know, they 111 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: put money aside, and the government, or it isn't a government. 112 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: The Kingdom gives newborns checks to get them started, and 113 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: Kingdom gives gifts toward a new home for newly wedded 114 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: people to get their society going. Like we could live 115 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: like that, and we ought to be thinking like that. 116 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: So the President has announced a program where every newborn 117 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: child that is an American will get a one thousand 118 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: dollars check deposited in an account that's just for him 119 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: or her and allow you, as a parent to match 120 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: it up to five thousand dollars a year. Now, five 121 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: thousand dollars is a lot, but if you could find it, 122 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: and you don't have to do it, you can get 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: four relatives to all chip in a thou We just 124 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: told you in the last hour that the average American 125 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: is spending fourteen hundred dollars a year in coffee. So 126 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: certainly you can find a grand to toss into your 127 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: kid's millionaire account. But if everybody made the maximum allowable 128 00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: contribution into these Trump accounts. Then you're newborn at the time, 129 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: at the at the date of his eighteenth birthday, would 130 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: have three hundred and three thousand dollars, over a quarter 131 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: of a million dollars he'd have or she, and by 132 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: the time they're twenty eight they'd already be over a 133 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: million dollars. That's what maxing out to it. If you 134 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: just didn't touch it and just let the president put 135 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: the money in. By the time your kid turns eighteen, 136 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: they have fifty eight hundred dollars, and by the time 137 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: they're twenty eight, eighteen thousand dollars with a single one 138 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: thousand dollars contribution. So this is a good idea. We 139 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: should be thinking this way. We should be investing in 140 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: our children. It's peanuts. It's not a lot of money. 141 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: One thousand dollars times every child that's born in America 142 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: in the year twenty twenty six is like nothing. We 143 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: ought to be doing ten thousand dollars a child, do 144 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: you know. And Bill Ackman has talked about this a lot. 145 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: He's a big financial guy, and he's always sad it's 146 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: called a million dollar baby plan. And he said every 147 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: single baby that is born in America can retire a millionaire. 148 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: All we have to do is give every new born 149 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: and I think the number was something like six or 150 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: seven thousand dollars. It was pretty easy to figure out. 151 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: You just figure out how many children are born every year, 152 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: and you say six thousand dollars, and that comes out 153 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: to be I don't know, like twenty five billion dollars, 154 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 2: which sounds like a lot, but keep in mind we 155 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: give Ukraine eighty billion dollars and get nothing for it, 156 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: so we can certainly give our American children twenty five 157 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: billion dollars and then through the miracle of compound interest, 158 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: from age zero to age sixty, they retire and they 159 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: have like one point one million dollars without doing anything. 160 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: So like every single person that's born this year, if 161 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: we followed this plan, on their sixtieth birthday, would get 162 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: a check for a million dollars. Imagine like with that 163 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 2: birthday dinner would be like and you'd have an entire 164 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: generation of Americans that would just be and whatever a 165 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: million dollars is worth sixty years from now, And if 166 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: you wanted to adjust it for inflation, maybe you know 167 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: sixty years from now, you need more like one point 168 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: eight million dollars. Okay, so now you start them off 169 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: with seventy five hundred or eight thousand, and instead of 170 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 2: twenty five million dollars, it's twenty nine million dollars. Like, 171 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: we could do it. It's certainly doable, and I think 172 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: we ought to be thinking this way. So I applaud 173 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: the President for jumping on. Oh and by the way, 174 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: companies can match it too. So everybody's gonna throw in 175 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 2: money to make sure that your little baby is a 176 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: millionaire by the time they're sixty without ever working a day. 177 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: So you add the work to that, and now everybody's wealthy. 178 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: Gotta love it. 179 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 180 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: Some changes in Mexico. So if you headed to Mexico 181 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: anytime soon, double check what's in your carry on for sure. 182 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 5: Travelers are being worn that Mexico is now actively enforcing 183 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 5: a nationwide ban on vaping devices. 184 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: Nationwide ban on all vaping devices. That's pretty big, and 185 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: I think that's going to be a big problem. It's 186 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: already a problem for we here in California when we 187 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: travel to other states because we forget that vaping weed 188 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: is actually a federal crime, Like we forget about that. 189 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: And it's true if you go to LAX and you 190 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: talk to TSA, and I have because I was a 191 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: federal employee and I know who to talk to. Like, 192 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: that's the biggest problem that they have at TSA, specifically 193 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: at LAX, is that people forget that it's illegal to 194 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: be vaping weed. They just forget. They're just it's so 195 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: normal to them. But in Mexico, not only you definitely 196 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: can't bape weed in Mexico, but you can't even have 197 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: any cigarette now. And if you get caught with it, 198 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 2: you're gonna be in trouble in Mexico. And that's no bueno. 199 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 5: Under recent legal changes aimed at protecting public health, electronic 200 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 5: cigarettes and similar devices can be confiscated at airports and 201 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 5: cruise ports. Reports say penalties may include steep fines and 202 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 5: in some cases, criminal charges tied to importation or distribution. 203 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that does not sound good. Crimes regarding distribution in Mexico. 204 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: That's a real problem. That's a real problem. I was 205 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: in Mexico. This was a I go to Mexico a lot. 206 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Mexico. I love it there 207 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: I just love Mexican culture. I feel very at home. 208 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: I think Mexican culture is a lot like Italian culture. 209 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: I think that's why think about it. It's very very similar, 210 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: strong work ethic, matriarchal family structure, Catholic, everybody is, everybody 211 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: honors the grandmother. Italians do, Mexicans do, right. I mean 212 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: it's when people eat. They don't eat in tables of four, 213 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: tables of six, they eat in tables of fourteen eighteen. 214 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 2: They never go out, they just go to people's houses. 215 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: But when they do go out, they dress up like 216 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 2: they're going to the White House. I mean, it's it's 217 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: so similar to me the way I grew up as 218 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 2: a young kid in an Italian American family and being 219 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: just here in southern California or being in Mexico, just 220 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: it's all so very similar. Everybody has gardens. They're big 221 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: on the peppers. Italians are big on the tomatoes. But 222 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: other than that, it's exactly the same. So I go 223 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: there a lot. Plus it's right here and it's great. 224 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 2: I go to Cancun at least twice a year. We 225 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: go to Puntameda a lot. And we were in Cabo 226 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: last year and Nuevo Varta, I think last spring break. 227 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: So we go a lot. So I'm in there a lot, 228 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: and I do know that you got to you got 229 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: to remember that you're in a foreign country, and you 230 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: got to remember that you're in Mexico. Not for me, 231 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: I'm fine. I don't vape anything. I don't really do 232 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: any dope at all. I mean, I drink, but that's 233 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: pretty much my only vice. I don't smoke cigars. I 234 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: don't do any of those things. And we were with 235 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: another couple and he's like a big vape guy, and 236 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: he's also like a light pothead, not a stoner. But 237 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: it's always fascinating to me because he's an older gentleman, 238 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: like he's in his sixties, but he that's like his 239 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: little thing and whatever. I mean. We're in California, I guess, 240 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: and we're on the trip and we're hanging around, like 241 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: at happy hour at the pool bar, and I get 242 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: smell that I don't prefer that smell. I know, you pop, 243 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 2: people don't mind it. It's gross to me, but whatever, 244 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: and I could smell it and I look at him, 245 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you doing. He's like, Oh, it's 246 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: just happy hour. Just adding to the vision and the view. 247 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, you can't smoke pot in Mexico. What's 248 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: wrong with you? It's like now it's just in the cartridge, 249 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: Like what are you doing? Are you crazy? Like I 250 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: come from the perspective of having worked for the federal government, 251 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: so I've seen what happens when people get stuck breaking 252 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: federal law in foreign countries and how the embassy has 253 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: to get involved, and then they call your congressman, it's 254 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: a problem, man, and you got to wire money. You 255 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: don't want to be doing that. So I put that away. 256 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: Are you crazy? And it didn't occur to him that 257 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: you can't just whip out a cartridge and start vaping 258 00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: weed like at the resort in Mexico. So people do forget. 259 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: But now, like even if they remember, yeah, I'm not 260 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: going to take any of those that cartridges with me, 261 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: but I'm still gonna, you know, just vape whatever they're vaping. 262 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: I guess just tobacco. I don't know what you vape 263 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: these days if it's not pot. But you can't even 264 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: do that in Mexico. 265 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 5: Officials caution that even bringing a vight for personal use 266 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 5: could lead to problems at the border. Travelers are advised 267 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 5: to leave vaping products at home to avoid delays, fines 268 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 5: or worse or worse. 269 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, the worse is what gets You. Don't want to 270 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: be dealing with the things like worse than delays or 271 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: fins while you're anywhere outside the United States. Just be 272 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: really careful. Hey, here's a pro tip from a former 273 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: federal employee. I don't know how many of you know this, 274 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: but the State Department is really great about helping you 275 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: when you're in other countries, really really great, but so 276 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: few people know about it, and you ought to take 277 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: advantage of it. If you are traveling to another country 278 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, but usually traveling for vacation, you should 279 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: register at the State Department.

But usually what will happen is 286 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 2: you have your passport stolen, or you lose your passport, 287 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 2: or a combination of the two and that's a real hassle. Right, 288 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 2: So if you register at the State Department and I'll 289 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: tell you how to do it, then you're on the 290 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 2: radar and the State Department knows you're in country and 291 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 2: they have your contact information.

And in let's say Mexico, because I do 337 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: this every time, Uh, there are kind there. This is 338 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: an American consulate. There's obviously an American embassy in Mexico City, 339 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: but there are consulates which are field offices of the 340 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 2: US embassy, and there's one like all around is certainly 341 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: pretty much everywhere where you'd be under and it lets 342 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: that officer know that you and your family are in town, 343 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 2: and you'll get a confirmation. They're like, Okay, you need 344 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 2: any help, here's the consul, let's address, here's the console. 345 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: Let's tell the telephone number. And it's a good thing 346 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: to have because you're probably gonna be fine, like you're 347 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 2: not if you're not looking for trouble. You're not gonna 348 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: find trouble if you don't try and engage in I 349 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: don't know, nefarious activities while you're on vacation in Cabo, 350 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 2: you'll be fine. What likely will happen, if anything happens 351 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: at all, is you will misplace your passport. Your passport 352 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: will be stolen, you'll lose your passport, or you'll lock 353 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 2: your passport in the safe and you won't be able 354 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 2: to get it out like something like. That's usually what 355 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: happens in my experience. Uh, And it's a real hassle 356 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: because you don't really need your passport until two hours 357 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: before you got to go to the airport. Right, what 358 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 2: do you do? You unpack, you get in, you get 359 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 2: in vacation mode, and you lock your passport in the 360 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 2: city safe or wherever you put your passport, and you 361 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 2: don't think about it until it's time to pack your 362 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: bags and leave. A week later, and the passport's gone. 363 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: Where did it go? I don't know, can't find it. 364 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what are we gonna do. We're gonna 365 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: miss our flight. Well, you're enrolled with the State Department. 366 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 2: They know you're there, so you immediately you contact your guy, 367 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: your g man. You're a government person at the consulate, 368 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: and even if it's a weekend or a holiday, it 369 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 2: could be an American holiday or a Mexican holiday. The 370 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: Lancer or they'll get a hold of you somehow and 371 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 2: you tell them that you need their help, and they'll 372 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: figure it out. They'll somehow get an authorized transmission of 373 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 2: a copy of your passport to the authorized person that 374 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 2: is at the airport in Cancun, and you'll somehow be 375 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: able to get on that plane with minimal fuss. And 376 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: trust me, you'll be happy. You'll be happy about that. 377 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: And I know because I've done it. When I was 378 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 2: working in Orange County for a member of Congress, I 379 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: got that call. It was literally the sun of the 380 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 2: dean of University of californ you're Irvine, and he got 381 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 2: his passport stolen, and I think he was in Peru, 382 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 2: and it was like over the holiday, it was over 383 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: the Christmas holidays. It was like the couple of days 384 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: before New Year's Day and he was coming back and 385 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: he didn't have his passport. And that's a real problem 386 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 2: you certainly in this hemisphere, but most places on planet 387 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 2: Earth you are far more likely to get your passport stolen. 388 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 2: Your US passport is more valuable than anything else that 389 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: you have on you. I don't care how much cash 390 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: you have, I don't care what your wife's wedding ring 391 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: looks like. Like I don't You can have Louis Vuitton 392 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: purse's all over your neck, and they're going for that passport. 393 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: It is just very very valuable currency on planet Earth, 394 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 2: and you'll get it stolen. So guard well that passport. 395 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: But crooks are good. Robbers are good. So should it 396 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: get stolen, what are you gonna do? If you're registered 397 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: with the STEP program, you'll make it home. But if not, 398 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: they'll do what this guy did and contact the state Department, 399 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: who contacted the local member of Congress, who contacted lou Penrose, 400 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: who drove up to the office and got on the 401 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 2: phone with the Congressional Affairs office at the embassy in 402 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 2: Panama or Peru or wherever it was, and found the 403 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 2: right person at the desk because there is a state 404 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 2: desk at the State Department for Peru, and figured out 405 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 2: who to call over there, and you know who to 406 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 2: okay the authorized transmission. It's not really a fax, but 407 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: it works like a fax, where like an authorized transmission 408 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: of a facsimile of your passport is then presented and 409 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: it's with a digital apastila, if you will. It's like 410 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: a special stamp, and you know, the guy in the 411 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: foreign country says, okay, let him get on the plane 412 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 2: and then they're home. So there you go. There's a 413 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: pro tip from a former federal employee on how you 414 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 2: should be trying. Also check the expiration dates of your passport. 415 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: Always good thing to do around the first of the year. 416 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: Don't want to be traveling out of the country and 417 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 2: while you're in I don't know, Croatia, your passport expires 418 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 2: in the middle of your trip. That's a boot. Speaking 419 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 2: of traveling the German government, this is hilarious. The German 420 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 2: government has warned Germans that if they're coming to the 421 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: United States, don't go to Minneapolis. 422 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 6: It's not unusual for our state departments to issue warnings 423 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 6: to US citizens to avoid traveling to hotspots around the world, 424 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 6: but generally foreign governments don't issue similar warnings to their 425 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 6: citizens about visiting the United States. But now the German 426 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 6: government is telling its citizens to avoid Minnesota. But if 427 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 6: they can't, to be vigilant stay away from crowds where 428 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 6: violence could occur, and also to follow the directions of authorities. 429 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 2: That's right. Germans are pretty good about that. Anyway, I 430 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: did not know is that a big thing. I know 431 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: a lot of Germans go to Palm Springs around this 432 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: time of year. Germans loved that heat. I didn't know 433 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: that Germans would want to go to Minnesota. But then again, 434 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 2: that's like a hot bed of German food. Like, my 435 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: wife's family is from Minnesota and they got brats up there, 436 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: so that kind of makes sense. I didn't put the 437 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: two and two together for Minnesota on the world stage. 438 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 2: Now unbelievable. 439 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 440 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: Following the news at ten, it's Coast to Coast AM 441 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 2: with George Nori. George. What's coming up tonight. 442 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 7: Tonight Blue We've got forty year anniversary of the tragedy 443 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 7: of the Space Shuttle Challenger. We're going to talk about that, 444 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 7: and then later on we're going to dabble with the 445 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 7: paranormal on Coast to Coast. 446 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 2: That's all coming up tonight onkf I AM six forty. 447 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: Paranormal stuff and by the way, peaches have a UH 448 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: glycemic index of twenty eight, which is twenty eight is 449 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: super super low. 450 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 7: Man, they're great for you, eat a lot of them. 451 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: I will lou great show. 452 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 4: As always, just think of inflation. 453 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 3: If everybody starts off with seventy five hundred, so you 454 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 3: have to factor in exponential inflation. 455 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 4: Along with that, you probably have to have five millions. 456 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 2: A good pro tip. 457 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 5: I think this guy who sprayed the apple sider vinegar 458 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 5: on Omar was just worried she was a diabetic. 459 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: Well he's wrong. Can't be spray apple sider vinegar on anybody. 460 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 2: But now everybody is taking a second look at apple 461 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 2: side or vinegar and getting their blood sugar down. Yeah, 462 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 2: peaches have a low glycemic index. As it turns out. 463 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 2: You know what's good peaches and wine. That's a lost art. 464 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: It's hard to find, but as a kid, we had 465 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 2: that all the time when peaches were in season. Italians 466 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 2: have these weird rules when it comes to food. It 467 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: has to be in season. Like in southern California everything 468 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 2: is in season, and really everywhere in the United States 469 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 2: now like you can get anything at any time, but Italians, 470 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. There is some books somewhere some Italian 471 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: almanac that even if it's in the grocery store, it's 472 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: still not in season if you're Italian, at least not 473 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 2: to my grandmother. So even if it was available, you 474 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,959 Speaker 2: weren't supposed to eat it because it wasn't the right 475 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: season to be eating that autochoke. A lot of rules 476 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 2: to being an Italian. But when the peaches were in season, 477 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 2: my dad would take a potato peeler and then peel 478 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 2: the skin off the peaches. It's a little slimy, it's 479 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 2: labor intensive, but you know, you just pass time and 480 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: do it, and then you cut up the peaches, take 481 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 2: the pit out. You get like a picture, like a 482 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: water pitcher, or like a beer picture, the kind of 483 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: picture you get when you get a picture of beer 484 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 2: at a beer place. And you put all the peaches in, 485 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: just stack it all in there, and then you pour 486 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: red wine in it and you put it in the 487 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 2: reator and you did this like on a Saturday night, 488 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 2: and then Sunday morning, like there's no wine left. All 489 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: the wine has been infused into the peaches. And then 490 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 2: you you take like a small cup, like a small 491 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: plastic cup, and you fill it up with these purple 492 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 2: peaches and you eat it with a toothpick, and I'm 493 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 2: pretty sure there's still alcohol involved. But I remember eating 494 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: peaches and wine when I was a kid, like all 495 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: the cousins did. It's maybe why the holidays were so good. 496 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: But I think that probably does add a bit to 497 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: the glycemic index on the on the peaches. But that's 498 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: the way to do it. If you can have peaches, 499 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 2: that's for sure. Hey, Bruce Springsteen has the new song out. 500 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: He had to write a song about the social movements 501 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: that are going on. I don't like it. 502 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 8: In a Chance of Bruce Springsteen put his anti Trump 503 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 8: feelings into a song titled Streets of Minneapolis, Springsteen folding 504 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 8: in lyrics of Chance of Ice out now in between 505 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 8: the names of two anti Ali's protesters, Alex Pretty and 506 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 8: Renee Good, who were killed in the demonstrations in Minnesota. 507 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like it. I get it that he's 508 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: an artist and he needs to put lyrics to his emotions. 509 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: But like I said yesterday, like Neil Young is a bore. 510 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: He really is. It's just it's just a bore. Like 511 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 2: everything about him is His drab just brings me down. 512 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: He's an artist, and he does. He's a good lyricist 513 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: and you know he's gotta hand. He had a couple 514 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: of hits, I guess, and he's made an impact. Bruce 515 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: Springsteen really big, right A. I mean not just an artist, 516 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: but a big one. But he's just become a bore, 517 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 2: like everything is just lame, Like he's bringing everybody down, 518 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: Like this isn't a good song, and like it's too 519 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 2: early to start writing songs like this. What you immortalized 520 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 2: the two people that died. I mean, the case isn't 521 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 2: isn't cold yet. They're still investigations, So you don't want 522 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: to immortalize people in songs and find out later that 523 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: it was justifiable. That's not gonna go over well. So 524 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: it's just too early and you don't know what's going 525 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 2: to happen next. I don't. I'm not down. 526 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 8: He also wastes no time calling out what he calls 527 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 8: King Trump's private army from the DHS came. 528 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: To miniaf Bliss too and fosh Low. 529 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 8: Springsteen sat on social media. I wrote this song Saturday, 530 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 8: recorded it yesterday, and released it to you today in 531 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 8: response to the State terror being visited on the city 532 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 8: of Minneapolis. 533 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: I can't handle it all right, So who did it better? 534 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen came to. 535 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: Miniaf bliss too and foish. 536 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 2: Lowing all right? 537 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 4: Like that or so much better? 538 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: Not even close. That's a winner. That's a winner, and 539 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: that has Young in it. That's Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. 540 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 2: And as I said before, they didn't need Young. You 541 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: kind of just brought the whole act down. 542 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 4: Uh. 543 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 2: But that's a that's a pretty good hook right there. 544 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: Hit that again. 545 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 4: I kind of like that. 546 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: It's a pretty good tone too. They really had a 547 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: knack in the early seventies for using minimal like not 548 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 2: digital equipment either, like minimal analog equipment and limited pedals 549 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 2: and just those pickups, and they were able to grab 550 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: that tone so good. Now you understand why people like 551 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: get E van Halen was so interested in tone. It's 552 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 2: gotta I gotta have a special tone. He called himself 553 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 2: a tone chaser on his like now famous red and 554 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 2: black and white guitar. Noticed there's only one potentiometer because 555 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: he already had the tone was built in. Well I 556 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 2: needed was the volume control. So even though Young is 557 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 2: part of this, and I think he's a little Flat. 558 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: It is a better protest song. 559 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 4: Ken Sultan made Sun Common. You bal on our this summer. 560 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 2: The way better, So take that.
