00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: Joining us now as she always does at this time.

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: She is the co founder, CEO, and president of Kelly

00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: Financial Services, and yes, that is her wonderful name, Kelly

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: Kelly Kelly, How.

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: Are you good morning, Jeff, I am good. We've been

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 3: talking about something many retirees don't notice right away, how

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: falling interest rates can quietly change the way retirement feels.

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: For many people, the income they rely on comes from

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: saving CDs or bonds, and when interest rates decline, that

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: income can shrink faster than expected. Suddenly the nest egg

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: they work so hard to build may not generate the

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: same monthly support it once did. That doesn't necessarily mean

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: your retirement is in trouble, but it does mean retirees

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: need clarity and thoughtful planning. That's why we're sharing one

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: of our investor guides called Guard your Golden Years. It

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,919
Speaker 3: explains some of the challenges retirees face when interest rates

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: change and offers insights designed to help you protect your

20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: income and lifestyle in the years ahead. If you'd like

34
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 2: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is

35
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: the number. Okay, CNN now in a shock poll. I'm

36
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: sure all of you have heard it. It is everywhere

37
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: says that Trump has now done something no one has

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: ever done in politics. He has a one hundred percent

39
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: approval from MAGA those who self identify as MAGA voters

40
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: or Trump supporters or MAGA MAGA supporters give his presidency

41
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: one hundred percent approval. Agree, disagree, I can tell you

42
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: right now the poll is fake because I don't know

43
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: how many calls we've taken, never mind the emails I'm getting.

44
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: It's overwhelmingly positive. But you're giving him eighty five percent,

45
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: ninety percent, ninety one percent, ninety five percent, you know

46
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: so far. Actually, I don't think anyone's giving him one

47
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: hundred percent. And many of you are saying, Jeff, it's

48
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: obviously a fake poll. I agree, and like Mary Anne

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: in Florida, it's to try to make us look like

50
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: this blind, stupid cult where you know everything he does unquestioningly.

51
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, yeah. So anyway, but that's a theory. Some

52
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: of you have whatever it is, others think that, and

53
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: many of you are saying, Jeff, it's to try to

54
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: give Trump a sense of false security, a sense of

55
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: absolute invincibility, so the Democrats can lure him into thinking

56
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: he's got the midterms wrapped up when he doesn't. So anyway,

57
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: whatever it is, most of you aren't buying the pole

58
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: and you think CNN has nefarious, evil motives for doing it,

59
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: and whatever the motives are, you don't trust CNN, and

60
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I don't trust CNN. Dave in

61
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: pops Field. Thanks for holding Dave, and welcome.

62
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: Well. I just got a three three quick points and

63
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: I'll let you get back to it. Number one, I

64
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: agree that the pole is fake. I don't even approve

65
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: of myself one hundred percent, never mind anybody else. And

66
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: I'm Paul Mataga. Number two. All these people who say

67
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 4: you know they're going to vote libertarian and not vote well,

68
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: if you think things are bad, now wait till the

69
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: Democrats get back in. In a quick example, they they

70
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: talk about, you know, the taxes on overtime, blah blah. Example,

71
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: if you make thirty dollars an hour, forty five is overtime,

72
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: you get the deduction on the fifteen, not the full

73
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: forty five. So I did thirty five thousand in overtime.

74
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: That's eleven thousand something on my example, I average a

75
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: return of fifteen to eighteen hundred dollars. This year, I'm

76
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: getting over fifty five hundred dollars. Wow. And number three

77
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: and number three I'm going from job fields. I live

78
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: in New Hampshire. If they're going to come and persecute

79
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: us and come after us, that is what the Second

80
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: Amendment is for. Folks. Be ready to be prepared. I

81
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: am fifty five, I am an ex ranger. I know

82
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 4: how to fight, and I will fight if they want

83
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: to come get me. I'm not fool enough to think

84
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: that I can win against them, but they will pay

85
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 4: a high price to do so. So remember that, all

86
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: you folks that say I'm not going to vote and everything,

87
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: you're giving it back to the people who made it

88
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: this way. And if you'll wish for these days, if

89
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: you think these are.

90
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: Bad, I agree. Oh, Dave, I so agree. You're committing suicide.

91
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: That's you're committing political and economic and cultural and social suicide.

92
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: You're right, Dave. Again, I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry.

93
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: So your return this year is going to be five

94
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars.

95
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: Correct a little over. It's like fifty five thirty something

96
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, so yeah, it's like triple what my

97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: normal is, because, like I said, I did like thirty

98
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 4: five thousand in overtime. But you've got to remember that's

99
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: actually a third of that is what you don't get

100
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 4: the tax on. So you get that twelve five, you

101
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: can max out at twelve five. Even with thirty five,

102
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 4: I matched out at eleven seven or whatever. But with

103
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: that deduction alone, it added, you know, about three thousand

104
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: dollars to my return. And like I said, I normally

105
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: get fifteen to eighteen hundred, so fifty five hundred is uh.

106
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: I'll take that as a win. Okay, is all?

107
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: And like you know, Dave, I'm with you, Dave. Before

108
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: I let you go, I want to ask you what

109
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: percentage would you give him? In other words, they're saying,

110
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred percent everybody gets giving him one

111
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: hundred percent. You're saying no, obviously, you're you know, you're

112
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: a hardcore maga. What would you give him? You know,

113
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: when you take all the issues the border, inflation, the economy,

114
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: foreign policy, crime, energy, tariffs, the Epstein files, all the

115
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: big issues of his first year in a couple months

116
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: in power, what would what would you give him?

117
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: I'd give him about eighty percent. I remember Biden, I

118
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: would have given him about two percent. So you know,

119
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: for no, man, I don't trump even a lot for

120
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: a lot of these things. Again, it comes down to

121
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: John soon. People like that. I mean, he cannot get

122
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: a lot of his agenda done. Yes, I wish, I'm

123
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: all for taking out I ran I'm not. I don't

124
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 4: think we need to do it right now. I'm not

125
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: against it, but I'm not really pooring, you know what

126
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: I mean. But i'd give him probably eighty percent anyways,

127
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 4: and that's a lot better than I've given any president

128
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: since Rage. So you know, you know, that's all I

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: got to say.

130
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: You're a tough grader, Dave. You're a tough well I

131
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: could tell your Army ranger you're a tough guy. You know, Dave?

132
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: What what? What? What would you give me as a host?

133
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm setting myself up here, but because yeah, you know,

134
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: you're a tough grader, so I know you're going to

135
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: be really brutally honest. What would you give me, Dave?

136
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: I I would always give you about ninety percent yet,

137
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: but we have no offense for some of the negativity,

138
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: you know, like when you're talking about the war. I

139
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: feel like you're bringing people down, and those are the

140
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: people I'm afraid aren't going to vote. But I give

141
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: you a ninety percent?

142
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: Are you seriously?

143
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah? That's how I've been listened to it every day

144
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: for I don't know ten years. Anyway, I thank you.

145
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna give me, like, you know,

146
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: fifty You know what I mean like, okay, ye, well,

147
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: ever sixty you pass just barely, okay, I consider yourself lucky. Dave,

148
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: thank you for your service, Thank you for your call.

149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: Of course, Mike is in the air, you know, zero zero,

150
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: Thanks Mike, I appreciate it. Six one. By the way,

151
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: Dave said he would give Biden two percent. I'm thinking, like,

152
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: I think two percent is too generous. I'd give him zero.

153
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: But anyway, let that go. I don't want to quibble.

154
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,080
