Lots of people deck in the halls and 128 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: it can be downright dangerous and you know better than 129 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: most about that. 130 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, it can be right. Consumer Product Safety Commission says 131 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 4: that about one hundred and sixty thousand people are hurt 132 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 4: every year decorating the homes, usually by falling. One hundred 133 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: and sixty thousand. Some of that involves trips to the 134 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 4: emergency room. Sometimes it doesn't, just needs medical treatment, but 135 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: people are getting hurt out there trying to decorate their 136 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 4: own homes. 137 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 5: Amy, And are you what were you doing? 138 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: Because I said you knew better than most because you 139 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: suffered a nasty fall about four or five months ago. 140 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 4: Four months ago, yeah, way before Christmas. Decorating, of course, 141 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: but fixing sort of this decorative shutter up there on 142 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: the side of the house, on the second floor. So 143 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: I didn't get on the line on a ladder. I 144 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 4: went through a window and was standing there on the 145 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: roof doing the thing, got it all tacked up, and 146 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 4: was standing there, cross armed and admiring my work, and 147 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 4: suddenly boomed straight down onto the driveway, full weight, coming 148 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: down onto the right leg. So I broke the right 149 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 4: tibia and fibula, open fractures, so it's bones poking through 150 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: and I'm still in a wheelchair. 151 00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 5: So are you luckily? 152 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 4: People warning, Yeah, we'll share a walker or crushes, and 153 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: that's going to be the case until I wrap up 154 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: physical therapy in a month or so. So if you're 155 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 4: thinking about getting out the ladder and going up on 156 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 4: the side of the house today, take it from me, 157 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 4: go ahead and just hire somebody. It's it's going to 158 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 4: cost you a lot less money and aggravation in the end. Probably. 159 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: Well, I think that part of the hesitation there is 160 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: because you mentioned money, and it's not exactly cheap to 161 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: have somebody come and do it. I mean no, if 162 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: you compare whether it's less expensive to have somebody come 163 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: hang your lights here to fall and end up in 164 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: the hospital, of course hiring somebody is better. 165 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 4: But let's say it's eleven twelve, maybe fifteen hundred, even 166 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 4: two thousand dollars to decorate the house. My medical bills 167 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: are well over twenty thousand dollars at this point. 168 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 5: Oh my god. 169 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, in that worst case scenario, it's going to 170 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 4: save you money. It's going to save you some mental anguish. 171 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 4: I can't even go out into the driveway without remembering that. 172 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 4: And PTSD is a real thing. 173 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 7: Amy. 174 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, say you're going to do this on your own, 175 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: because you know you don't want to spend the money 176 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: what are do you have? Some recommendations like spotters are 177 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: probably a good idea. 178 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 4: Not spotters, that's a great idea. Somebody to stand at 179 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 4: the base of the ladder, make sure that it's steady, 180 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 4: make sure you're on stable ground, make sure the ladder 181 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 4: is in good repair. And by the way, that spotter 182 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 4: should have a phone with him or her to call 183 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: nine to one one if you fall off the thing. 184 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 4: Don't overreach, don't lose your balance, be very careful. Fatigue 185 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: and distractions, alcohol. This is this to me was fascinating. 186 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 4: I figured this out this morning. I saw research on it. 187 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 4: There are many more injuries like this, fall injuries involving 188 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 4: people who were decorating the house as opposed to those 189 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: who were undecorating after the holidays. The theory bearing that 190 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 4: being that you know, before the holiday and you may 191 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 4: have a little legg nog under the belt, you may 192 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: have a little drink or something, and then afterward not 193 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 4: so much. 194 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think you have your post holiday detox, right. 195 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let's hope let our very own Jim Ryan 196 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: be your cautionary tale.

But the question is 310 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: whether the president should have the power to fire any 311 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: member of an an independent regulatory body, such as the 312 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: Federal Trade Commission, or the Federal Communications Commission, or a 313 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: whole variety of other federal agencies which over the years 314 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: we've considered and have been called independent agencies created by 315 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: Congress over the last one hundred fifty years or so 316 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: to carry out certain important federal functions, make rules, issue 317 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: licenses and grant approvals and such when they're run by 318 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: multi member bodies, commissions and that sort of thing. And 319 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: the question is, can Congress establish limits for the firings 320 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: of these people. You know, in the case of the 321 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: Federal Trade Commission, the law says you can only fire 322 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: a member of that commission for neglective duty, malfeasans, and 323 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: officer inefficiency.

I want to be able to fire 325 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: these people for any reason whatsoever. And yesterday I and 326 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: many other observers counted six votes on the nine members 327 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: Supreme Court of Justices who seem inclined to adopt that 328 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: view and strike down a ninety year old precedent dating 329 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: to nineteen thirty five, which yesterday the Chief Justice called 330 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: a dried husk of whatever people used to think. It 331 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: was a ruling that has been weakened over the years 332 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: by the Supreme Court, and I think it's about to fall. 333 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people do. 334 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 5: Okay. 335 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: It kind of harkens back to our conversation from last week, Stephen, 336 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: where we were talking about how Trump comes from the 337 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: business world where you can hire and fire and all 338 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: these different rules when you're involved in the government. 339 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 5: He's not used to them, so he's fighting them. 340 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean that may be, but also he 341 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: just wants he wants the ability to make the decisions. 342 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: And philosophically, it's the idea that the people elect one 343 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: person as the leader of the executive branch, maybe two 344 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 2: with the vice president, and that all the executive power 345 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: in the government has vested wholly in that person, and 346 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: that you know, no person who serves under the president 347 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: should be able to stand alone and say I'm out 348 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: here on my own, you can't fire me, because you know, 349 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: the argument is that that's not democratic that everyone should 350 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: be accountable to the president, who's the person who faces 351 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: the voters if they are seated in the executive branch. 352 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: And you know, and then the argument becomes, well, what 353 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 2: about these independent agencies? Are they in the executive branch? 354 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 2: And you know, a lot of the times you'd look 355 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: at it and say, of course there may be some 356 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: exceptions though, and that involves, for example, the Federal Reserve Board. 357 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 2: Yesterday Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Conservative, who certainly through his questions 358 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: indicated he's just, you know, right there with the president 359 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: on this question of being able to fire members of 360 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 2: the Federal Trade Commission. When it comes to the Federal Reserve, 361 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: I think the justices have a great deal of pause 362 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 2: because they understand the importance to the global and American 363 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: economy of that agency being viewed as independent of political interference. 364 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: And where does that line when it comes to accountability 365 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: to the public get drawn when it comes to the 366 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 2: control of the American economy. And in the case of 367 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve, Justice Kavanaugh said he had concerns about 368 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 2: giving the president too much power, and the rationale for that, 369 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: it's not just the idea that it creeps us out 370 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: right The rationale that they would put in writing is, well, 371 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve is a quasi private entity that regulates 372 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: banks and is part of the tradition historic tradition of 373 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: the first and second National Banks of the United States, 374 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: and therefore it's separate and different. Well, the liberals on 375 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: the court yesterday are saying, you know, just you wait, 376 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: because what the conservatives want to do here is, in 377 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 2: the words of Sonya Soda, mayor destroy the structure of government. 378 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 2: Congress created these positions and set up these rules, and 379 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: now we're going to find out from the Supreme Court 380 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: that all this time it's been wrong. 381 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 5: Maybe. 382 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I was going to ask you too about 383 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: the whole separation of powers and that kind of thing. 384 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean, doesn't wasn't our government kind of created so 385 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: that one person didn't. 386 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 5: Have all the power? 387 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 10: Yes? 388 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 2: And the argument would be, well, okay, you know, the 389 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: people can elect the president, that people can elect their 390 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: members of Congress, and that is the exercise of the 391 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: democratic process. But if the Congress sets up an agency, 392 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: you know, should there be people who serve in the 393 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: government under a president who are unaccountable to that president? 394 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 2: Or for example, if a person is appointed by one 395 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: president and then that term carries over to another administration. 396 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 2: Why should the new president who's just been elected by 397 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 2: the people have to suffer on, you know, with the 398 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 2: last guy's choice. And that gets into this issue of 399 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: you know, elections having consequences, presidents being empowered to staff 400 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: their own agencies. And the other question is, you know, 401 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: what's the purpose of the FTC or the FCC to 402 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: carry forward to the elected president's priorities and policies, And 403 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 2: why shouldn't everyone who serves in the executive branch be 404 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 2: marching under the same leader. And that's the argument. Now, 405 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: the other side of it is, you know, Congress certainly 406 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: had that in mind when they created these positions, and 407 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: the people's elected representatives created these structures with that in mind. 408 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: And anyway, it's a big philosophical debate, which I think 409 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: the President's about to win. 410 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 5: Okay, And do we know when we're going to get 411 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 5: into the decision. 412 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: We don't know ever when the Supreme Court's going to 413 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: make a decision, But I would imagine, given the fact 414 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: that they just argued this case in early December, that 415 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: we could see a ruling in maybe mid spring, maybe 416 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 2: March or April or the kid hold it until the 417 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: end of the term in late June or early July. 418 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 5: Okay, ABC, Stephen Borton, I thanks so much for the info. 419 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 5: You bet all right, such fascinating, so fascinating. 420 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: This full government complicated, I know, and it's never easy. 421 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: Two people have been seriously hurt in a three car 422 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: crash in north Ridge that left one car in someone's 423 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: front yard.

You can put 652 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 9: money into these accounts if you have kids who are 653 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 9: eighteen and under. But the thing that makes these accounts 654 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 9: most interesting, because I don't really think they make sense 655 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 9: for most people, is if you have a newborn, because 656 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 9: that's when you get free money from the government under 657 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 9: these accounts, one thousand dollars essentially seed money that you 658 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 9: can invest on behalf of your child for their future. 659 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 9: And I think there's going to be a lot of 660 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 9: confusion around these accounts. We'll probably have to keep talking 661 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 9: about them, because yes, you could put more money in 662 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 9: than what the government is giving you, and yes, you 663 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 9: can put money in for kids who are even older 664 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 9: than newborn, right for your elementary or middle school aged kids. 665 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 9: The problem is they just aren't the best from a 666 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 9: tax perspective for everyone. And so I love the idea 667 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 9: of somebody with a new baby getting that three thousand 668 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 9: dollars investing that for on their kids behalf. But I 669 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 9: just think there are better accounts that people should be 670 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 9: more interested in using to build wealth through their kids 671 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 9: than using those kind of newfangle Trump accounts. 672 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: Okay, so but if it so, let's talk about this 673 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: just a little bit, because you're saying there are better 674 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: account accounts out there. But this is a kind of 675 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: a seed money. And if you're I mean, why would 676 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: you not take it? 677 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 9: No, you take it. If you have a new body, 678 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 9: you take the thousand dollars. You just don't utilize the 679 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 9: account beyond that. After the free thousand bucks, you just 680 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 9: invest that money, watch it grow. But you turn your 681 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 9: attention to other accounts like the five twenty nine account, 682 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 9: which has become more flexible in recent years, and so 683 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 9: you can use that for higher education. If you don't 684 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 9: want to do that, that can be money that can 685 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 9: be rolled into a roth IRA. So I guess the 686 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 9: annoying thing is, I mean, aren't we already kind of 687 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 9: annoyed by the proliferation of retirement accounts? What does each 688 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 9: one mean? And what are the specific rules for each one? 689 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 9: My goodness, let's add another one into the mix. I 690 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 9: wish we could have just used the five twenty nine 691 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 9: accounts system and found a way to have the government 692 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 9: contribute a thousand bucks there, but no, we didn't do that. 693 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 9: We created a new account. The other thing I think 694 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 9: it's worth mentioning here is entrepreneur Michael Dell announced that 695 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 9: he's offering an additional two hundred and fifty dollars for 696 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 9: kids ten and younger. And so this is kind of 697 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 9: an interesting public private partnership. When I first heard this, 698 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 9: I was like a little skeptical. I was like, what's 699 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 9: going on here? But it's kind of cool that he's 700 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 9: at least he's basically said, Hey, I want to see 701 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 9: not just newborn kids over this three year span. It's 702 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 9: a very limited run for these Trump accounts. We'll see 703 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 9: if they get extended. I want to see other kids 704 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 9: have some money put into their accounts as well. And 705 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 9: so if you have some kids who are ten or younger, 706 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 9: they're going to be eligible for this two hundred and 707 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 9: fifty dollars in free money that Michael Dell is putting up, 708 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:05,479 Speaker 9: which is great. 709 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: I think anything that you start that you have people 710 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: saving and maybe get that mentality going. I didn't have 711 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: it when we were when we were kids, Like I 712 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: didn't learn to start saving one of my best friends did. 713 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: She had a five twenty nine account and she would 714 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: push her kids, Hey, when you get fifty bucks, put 715 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: five in that account. 716 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 5: And they actually are doing very well. 717 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: They're like eighteen and twenty or nineteen and twenty now 718 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: and doing great because their mom kind of taught them 719 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: that from the get go. 720 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 3: You know. 721 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 9: And I think that's actually as these are not my 722 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 9: favorite accounts, Like I said, I would love to see 723 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 9: using existing accounts that are already awesome that people are 724 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 9: using widely, and just how the government put maybe a 725 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 9: little bit of free money into those accounts instead of 726 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 9: trying to create something brand new. But I think that 727 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 9: the probably the best thing that's going to come from 728 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 9: this is kind of like what you're talking about. I 729 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 9: think we're bound to see young people being a little 730 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 9: more We're already seeing like gen Z, Hey, they're interested 731 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 9: in investing in ways that previous generations were not. And 732 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 9: part of that's just because it's at their fingertips. It's 733 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 9: easier than ever to pull off. And there's new companies 734 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 9: like Robinhood that have just made it super simple for 735 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 9: better or for worse, to be able to become an investor. 736 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 9: And I think that people are going to open these accounts. 737 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 9: Theyre going to be like, waiting a second, how's that 738 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 9: seed money performing? They're going to you can you go 739 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 9: along with your kids and say, hey, that thousand bucks 740 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 9: you got for free, you know you're eight years old, 741 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 9: that's worth twenty one hundred dollars now because of how 742 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 9: we invest it. And then like, let's see if it'll 743 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 9: double again in the next seven or eight years. And 744 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 9: that could be seed money for school, to reduce debt 745 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 9: you have to take on. It could be the down 746 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 9: payment for a house in the future. And I do 747 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 9: think that kind of just getting people in that mindset 748 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 9: of investing and watching money grow from an early age, 749 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 9: that could be one of the most powerful things that 750 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 9: these accounts create. 751 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: Okay, and then real quick, because we are we are 752 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: out of time, But I want to hit on this. 753 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 1: You're saying that if you can kind of pit uber 754 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: and Lyft against each other and save some money. 755 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 9: Yeah, so there's this new new data came out and 756 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 9: if you have both the apps on your account, but 757 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 9: check both before you take a ride every time, because 758 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 9: the savings can be significant. The difference on average is 759 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 9: something like fifteen percent per trip in savings if you 760 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 9: check both and you go with the cheaper one, okay, 761 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 9: but especially on longer trips, it can be a lot 762 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 9: more in savings. So if you're like, yeah, I want 763 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 9: to save forty bucks because I'm taking an Uber trip, 764 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 9: we'll check lift too. You might just save a lot. 765 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 5: Okay. 766 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: Good advice as always that we get from our very 767 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 1: own Joel lars Guard.
