It's 111 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: five oh seven, by the way, step In the fight 112 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: over Kilmar Brega Garcia continues, and now the Trump administration 113 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: has been ordered to do more for some of the 114 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: migrants who were sent to that Sea Cotton Mega prison. 115 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 8: Yeah, these are two separate rulings by two different federal 116 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 8: judges in Washington, d c. And in Maryland having to 117 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 8: do with those deportation flights in March. Kill mar Brego 118 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 8: Garcia was on one of those planes as where dozens 119 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 8: of Venezuelan alleged gang members. They were sent to the 120 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 8: Sea Cott prison in El Salvador, and then ultimately all 121 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 8: of them were released from that prison. Most of them 122 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 8: wound up back in their native Venezuela as part of 123 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 8: a prisoner swap. Kill mar Brego Garcia was brought here 124 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 8: to face federal charges of human trafficking, which he denies, 125 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 8: and the judge overseeing that case in Tennessee has ordered 126 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 8: him released on bail, and the judge in Maryland followed 127 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 8: the bouncing ball ordered Brego Garcia released from ice custody 128 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 8: because she said that the proper paperwork had never been 129 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 8: put forward by the Trump administration to hold him. Now, 130 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 8: the Trump administration says, well, we fixed that problem, you 131 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 8: ron Or. Now we're ready to take him back into custody. 132 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 8: And the judge said yesterday, uh, you guys aren't exactly 133 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 8: operating in good faith here. So before we move any further, 134 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 8: I want you to put all your detailed reasons for 135 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 8: taking him back into custody and writing, and then we're 136 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 8: going to give his attorneys a chance to respond and 137 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 8: I'll issue my ruling sometime in the new year, which 138 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 8: means the Kilmar Brego Garcia is going to be able 139 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 8: to spend Christmas with his family. Cheers on the courthouse 140 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 8: steps yesterday by his supporters on that. But you can 141 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 8: imagine the Trump administration's intent on pursuing this to the 142 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 8: full extent. They say that this man has no right 143 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 8: to be in this country and their intent on setting 144 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 8: him out. And in the case of the Venezuelans, Judge 145 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 8: James Boseburg, you've heard his name before. He issued an 146 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 8: order yesterday that certified a class action lawsuit that can 147 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 8: be brought on behalf of these Venezuelans, challenging their removal 148 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 8: in March and ultimately potentially potentially resulting in their return. 149 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 7: To the US. 150 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 8: Now you can imagine, of course, the Trump administration will 151 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 8: forcefully fight against that, taking it all the way to 152 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 8: the Supreme Court if necessary. But the whole issue is 153 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 8: whether there was due process here, whether the Trump administration 154 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 8: crossed the t's and dotted the eyes. And so far 155 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 8: all year the administration's position a number of respects has 156 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 8: been we don't have to. Well the court's at least 157 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 8: in the case of Judge Paula. Denise in Maryland and 158 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 8: Judge James Bosberg here in DC. The argument is, oh, 159 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 8: that the rulings are, you have to follow the letter 160 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 8: of the law. You have to cross the t's and 161 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 8: dot the eyes and follow due process, and in these 162 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 8: cases you haven't. And therefore here the remedies. 163 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So, Steven, with every conversation, we have so much 164 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: to dig into. Why does the Trump administration say they 165 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: don't have to. 166 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 8: Well, mainly because you know, in the late seventeen hundreds, 167 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 8: Congress pass them they call the Alien Enemies Act, and 168 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 8: that's what the President invoked here, and his argument is 169 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 8: we're war with Venezuela and or Venezuelan gangs, and therefore 170 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 8: the president has this extraordinary constitutional power to protect America 171 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 8: and do what he's going to do, and no judge 172 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 8: can get in his way.

It was nominated for 269 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: an Academy Award. It's got this great soundtrack and it's stars. 270 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: It's animated.

It's the 274 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: story of this lazy rich kid Jasper. He still lives 275 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: at home with his dad. His father wants his son 276 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: to be productive, so he makes him set up a 277 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: new post office in a place called Smirnsburg now Spiarnsberg. 278 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: Is this desolate, lifeless island town, no color, no life, 279 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: no joys. It feels kind of like Halloween Town in 280 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: a darker way. Well, he gets a less than warm 281 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: reception when he shows up and he meets a secret 282 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: toy maker named Klaus. The animation feels kind of like 283 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: Emperor's New Clothes. So it's it's a little bit funky like, 284 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: but you know, it works because it's animation, and it's 285 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: a little nightmare before Christmas feeling, but a different kind 286 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: of I mean, it's like you know, cartoon ani animation, 287 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: not like this, not like Jack Skellington animation. But it 288 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: is a really fun story with a new twist on 289 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: the Klaus. Of course, it's the same into Origin story, 290 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: but one that you've never seen before and probably haven't 291 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: thought of before. And so I love it when they 292 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: come up with new waves to create Santa Claus. So 293 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of like a mix of the old and new. 294 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: It looks like animation rather than CG. But it looks 295 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: like classic animation, which I love. You know, it's just 296 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: fun to see because you don't get to see it 297 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: that often. It's it's fun, it's a little bit dark. 298 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: It's a great new take on Santa. How he got started. 299 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: It's good for kids, but I think the grown ups 300 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: are going to like it too because there's just some 301 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: really sweet, touching things going on. It's Klaus, they don't 302 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: call him Claus, and it's so fun to see how like, 303 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, he and the reindeer fly, How did that 304 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: story come up? How did that originate? And they kind 305 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: of explain a lot of those things. Still time to 306 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: squeeze it in on your Christmas viewing list. 307 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 6: I'm gonna wat. 308 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: I've watched it three or four times so far.

I love the classics, but I 310 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: love new ones too, and this one was a fun one. 311 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: Again Klaus.

It's 461 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 7: funny that Jackie in Shadow are chasing them away, but 462 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 7: not very avidly. And last night they were on the 463 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 7: roof tree. 464 00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 6: They were on the roof tree again. 465 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I I tuned in one morning, said I think 466 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: I had seen something on Facebook or Instagram, and I thought, oh, 467 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: I'll go look at the live cam because I know 468 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: you guys have the camera fixed now, And there was 469 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: a juvenile sitting right there, not in the nest, but 470 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: right outside, just hanging out there. 471 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 9: Right. 472 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 7: Yes, they are back, and I think hoping mostly hoping 473 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 7: to get food. We don't know which juveniles they are. 474 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 7: They could be from anywhere, but they you know, they 475 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 7: hang around adults hoping to get food because that's where 476 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 7: they bring the food. 477 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 6: Okay, So do we know if it might be sunny 478 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 6: in Gizmo? Is there any way to tell? 479 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: Or is it just they're random juveniles because they all 480 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: kind of look alike at this point. 481 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's random juveniles because they all look alike. I mean, 482 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 7: it could be, It couldn't be. It doesn't really, you know, 483 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 7: they all look alike. 484 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 6: Okay, And do the adults you said it was unusual. 485 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: Do the adults ever let the juveniles come back or 486 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: like literally kicking them out of the nest is their 487 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: way of helping them move on? 488 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 7: Right, their way of picking them out is helping them 489 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 7: move on. Because Jackie and Shadow have to feed the 490 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 7: new chicks, so I think it's only because there aren't 491 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 7: eggs yet. That they're being a little more accommodating and 492 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 7: getting ready.

They won't hurt them, but they 499 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 7: will make them know that they're not welcome there. 500 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 6: Okay.

Copper has just 540 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 10: hit a fresh all time high amy above twelve thousand 541 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 10: dollars a ton, and that's because of severe mind outages 542 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 10: and also trade dislocations linked to President Trump's tariff agenda. 543 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 10: Analysts are warning the global copper market could face its 544 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 10: most severe deficit in more than twenty years next year, 545 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 10: so copper prices could go even higher. That has implications 546 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 10: for the housing market, of course, and for electricians alot 547 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,719 Speaker 10: of copper in homes as well. In gold and silver meantime, 548 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 10: rising to all time highs again today on more escalating 549 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 10: geopolitical tension and prospects for usentric straight custy. 550 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 6: Old is up over forty five hundred dollars in ounce. Yeah, 551 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 6: it's surged this year. 552 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 10: It's on track for its best annual performance since nineteen 553 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 10: seventy nine if you think of it in investor terms. 554 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 10: And we talked to some pawn shops who say that 555 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 10: people actually small business owners are coming in now and 556 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 10: they pawn their gold chain, which is worth so much 557 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 10: they can make payroll using their gold chain, and then 558 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 10: they go back, you know, because they need that advance 559 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 10: and interest rates are higher. So you know, most businesses 560 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 10: borrow to pay their salaries and then get paid back, 561 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 10: even big businesses, but small businesses are. 562 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 6: Doing it with gold. Crazy. 563 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Now this is unusual because you think of Sacks high end, 564 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: makes lots of money, but they might be having some issues. 565 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, they just did that whole thing where 566 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 10: they raised all that money they were going to remake themselves. 567 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 10: But now sources say Sacks Global Enterprises considering Chapter eleven 568 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 10: bankruptcy as a last resort due to a more than 569 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 10: one hundred million dollar debt payment due at the end 570 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 10: of the month, and the company is also weighing additional 571 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 10: ways to shore up liquidity. They're talking about raising emergency 572 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 10: funding or selling assets. But investors in that they're kind 573 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 10: of increasingly betting that they might not see that money 574 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 10: get paid back. So that's tough environment to raise more 575 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 10: money in. We'll see, okay. 576 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: And then there's one beer is it Miller beer? They 577 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,959 Speaker 1: call it the Champagne of beers. Well, this one may 578 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: be the Cognac of beers. 579 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's according to the Wall Street Journal, which says 580 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 10: there's a beer that reportedly goes down like Cognac, which 581 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 10: is kind of hard to believe this is a Boston 582 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 10: Beer's new version of Utopias. The reason I say it's 583 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 10: hard to believe it goes down like that because it 584 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 10: has thirty percent alcohol by your beer Wow, it is 585 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 10: the company's strongest brute yet big attention getter right. Illegal 586 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 10: in fifteen states. It is not illegal in California though, 587 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 10: meaning it is legal in California. 588 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 6: But what called beer Utopia's utopia? 589 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 10: Thirty percent alcohol volume not easy to get even in 590 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 10: places like California where it is legal. Apparently it's being 591 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 10: resold online for over a thousand dollars a bottle right now. 592 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 10: If you're looking for one for somebody, I think I 593 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 10: pass on them. Yeah, I find it hard to believe 594 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 10: that there's a beer that can go down like Conyac. 595 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: All right, getting in your business with Bloomberg stinnise pellagreeney 596 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: like we do every morning. 597 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 6: Although are you tomorrow or are you here?

Bank 614 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: of America plans to provide ten million dollars in zero 615 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,959 Speaker 1: interest loans to banks assisting residents and businesses recovering from 616 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: the Eton and Palisades fire. 617 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 6: Let's say good morning now to the host of money 618 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 6: on KFI. It's Joel Larsgard. Morning, Joel, morning Amy. Okay, 619 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 6: So you remember. 620 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: When your parents used to say this, do you think 621 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: we're made of money? 622 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 6: And turn off the lights? Well maybe mother didn't know 623 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 6: best in this case. 624 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 13: Well, I resonate with that so much because I have 625 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 13: become that parent, and my kids leave their lights on 626 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 13: and I in the morning after I drop them off 627 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 13: for school, I walk upstairs every day and I turn 628 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 13: off all the lights in every bedroom, and I do 629 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 13: it with, you know, just a small amount of anger 630 00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 13: simmering beneath the surface, and you know what to stop, 631 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 13: not just because I need to have a healthier mental life, 632 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 13: amy but also because it turns out it's not costing 633 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 13: me that much money. So I typically think of it 634 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 13: as this really frustrating thing because hey, if the lights 635 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 13: are left on all day, it's gonna be expensive and 636 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 13: it's gonna add to the electricity bill. And the truth 637 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 13: is it's not actually when you dig into the details. 638 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 13: So when you especially and this is truly the case, 639 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 13: if you have LED bulbs installed in your house, right, 640 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 13: So the old incandescent bulbs, Yes, some people prefer the 641 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 13: light that they emit, but they cost a lot more 642 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 13: to run. And so that's these LED bulbs. They used 643 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 13: to be expensive. Now they're like incredibly cheap, and they're 644 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 13: incredibly cheap to run. So if you leave I didn't 645 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 13: realize this, if you exactly how cheap this was. If 646 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 13: you leave an LED bulbon for twenty hours, it would 647 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 13: cost you three pennies three pennies. So why am I 648 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 13: getting all in a tizzy about three pennies? 649 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 11: Yeah? 650 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 6: Why are you getting it all in a tizzy? Joel? 651 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 13: I'm not going to anymore. 652 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 6: I'm a new man good, and you're. 653 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: Saving money by running low power bulbs as opposed to 654 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: the incandescent, even though I still prefer incandescent by a 655 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: mile just for the light. 656 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 13: They look good, I agree. But led bulbs have come 657 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 13: a long way, and they've man. I remember when they 658 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 13: used to be five dollars a bulb, and it was 659 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 13: really hard to think about changing out all the light 660 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 13: bulbs in your house. And now you can get pretty 661 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 13: decent led bulbs for a dollar bulb. 662 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 7: Like, it's not that bad. 663 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 13: And when you out of the savings, especially if you 664 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 13: have kids who leave the lights on, put led bulbs 665 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 13: at least in their room, and then just maybe you'll 666 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 13: have a little more family harmony this holiday season. 667 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 1: One last thing to be grumpy about or grinchy about. Okay, 668 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: so there's people who make decent money. They might even 669 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: be considered millionaires, but even millionaires aren't feeling rich these days. 670 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 13: Yeah, and I totally get this. I mean, this is 671 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 13: from somebody who's like millionaires not feeling rich. And there's 672 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 13: some people who be like, oh, that's ridiculous, Like I 673 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 13: would love to be in their position, And something like 674 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 13: twenty percent of Americans have reached millionaire status from investing 675 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 13: over many, many years. And think about even just what's 676 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 13: happened with the stock market over the last fifteen years. 677 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 13: The number of millionaires in this country has quadrupled in 678 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 13: the last fifteen years, so there are a lot more 679 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 13: people who pit millionaire status. It's also true that being 680 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 13: a millionaire it's not quite what it used to be, right, 681 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 13: So a million dollars in twenty fifteen isn't the same 682 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 13: as a million dollars in twenty ten. That being said, 683 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 13: it is still quite a bit of money. And it 684 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 13: was just reading this story story in the Wall Street 685 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 13: Journal about people who consider themselves moderate millionaires, and basically 686 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 13: it's like, yeah, I have a million dollar net worth, 687 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 13: but I don't feel like I'm rich. And on one hand, 688 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 13: I get that so much of the time your money 689 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 13: is tied up in these retirement accounts that you can't 690 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 13: tap until you know, you reach retirement age, until you're 691 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 13: basically right there around age sixty and so it feels like, Man, 692 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 13: I'm socking money away for this future. I'm building up 693 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 13: a big net worth, But at what point do I 694 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 13: feel like I get to spend like a millionaire? And 695 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 13: the truth is when you, yeah, well, I think you 696 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 13: can incorporate some of that slowly but surely back into 697 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 13: your life as you've done the right thing steadily over 698 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 13: time and saving up a nest egg for your future. 699 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 13: It doesn't have to be all deprivation now. But at 700 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 13: the same time, if you go back and look at 701 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 13: the millionaire next door, right this seminole book, which which 702 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 13: interviewed a bunch of millionaires, is like what makes you 703 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 13: a millionaire? Well, driving an older car, like living on 704 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 13: less than you earn, like living below your means is 705 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 13: a crucial part of reaching that status in general. And 706 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 13: so it's not that I want people to not abandon 707 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 13: the habits that got them there, but I also want 708 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 13: them to be able to enjoy some of the here 709 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 13: and now. That's why on the show we talk about 710 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 13: the craft beer equivalent, because I'm a big craft beer guy. 711 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 13: So should I wait to drink awesome craft beer until 712 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 13: I reach retirement age? Of course, not like I should 713 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 13: be drinking awesome craft beers now and everyone should figure 714 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 13: out what that is is for themselves so that they 715 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 13: can incorporate spending on the things that matter to them 716 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 13: while they're still saving and investing for the future. It's 717 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 13: really important to do both and and not be grinch 718 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 13: like about your spending.
