1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: is the number.

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Okay, just very very quick.

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: I got a very good message, very well informed message

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: from Anita on messenger and she made the point. Well, Jeff,

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm a little bothered by your statement about Norway that

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: the government collaborated with the Nazis during World War Two.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: The king opposed the Nazis, which is true. The government

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: at the time opposed the Nazis, which is true, and

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: then fled to England. So the Norwegians did put up resistance.

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: It was broken, it was shattered, and the government went

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: into exile the way the polls did or others. So

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: that is all true. And then they established what's a

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: government by Quizling literally, you know the term a quisling

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: government that comes from Quizzling, who was installed by the

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Nazis in Norway. Now the left in Norway in ten seconds,

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: the left in Norway has made a big deal. I

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: think grossly exaggerated personally, but how many alleged Norwegians collaborated

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: with Quizzling. It's a stain Norway is at heart, or was,

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: a fascist country. In other words, the left has used

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: that to run down Norway. That was my only point.

22
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's a huge, very divisive issue

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: regarding immigration, Muslim migration. It has split Norway like other

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: countries in Europe. My only point is at the Olympics,

25
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: even the liberal athletes, you know, for Norway, they're not

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: going on about quizzling and fascism and who collaborated with who?

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: And the migration issue. Are they four open borders? Are

28
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: they against Muslim migration? You know, my countries are racist

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: country and my country's an intolerant country or whatever, none

30
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: of that. There's not a political word that comes out

31
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: of their mouth. To their credit, why because they're there

32
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: to represent their motherland. They're there to represent Norway and

33
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: the Norwegian people and the Norwegian nation and the Norwegian homeland.

34
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: And to their credit, they are killing it at the Olympics.

35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: And honestly, I think one of the reasons is patriotism,

36
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: real patriotism and civic pride. And they're focused on the

37
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: sport like whatever their political opinions are. And I'm sure

38
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: look a lot of the Norwegian athletes. I'm sure there

39
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: are conservatives, there are liberals, there are those on the right,

40
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: those on the left who cares. We're all Team Norway.

41
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: We're here to win, and we're here to get as

42
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: many medals as possible. Our side not so much. That's

43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: that was my only point. Anita six one seven two

44
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number Bruce

45
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: in Wooburn. Thanks for holding Bruce, and welcome.

46
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: Boy.

47
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: You can hear that coming from northern Italy, Bruce, especially

48
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: from Team USA. Are are our head you know, our

49
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: are our residents there, boy, from where the are where

50
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: our athletes are located.

51
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: It's Howell after Howell after Howell.

52
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: We're a racist country, are past slavery.

53
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: This is not who we are.

54
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: Ice, immigration, abortion, They just don't shut up. LGBT. It

55
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: just doesn't end. Trump Trump, Trump, It just doesn't end. So, Bruce,

56
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, what do you make of all this?

57
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: My friend?

58
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: I got two points to make that guy Aaron, Yes,

59
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: I told Mike they should have a Caller of the

60
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: Year award. He gets it with me. Wasn't he unbelievable?

61
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: It was an incredible call?

62
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I really uh yeah, I mean, I don't know my

63
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Bruce, Caller of the year. We get, we

64
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: get some phenomenal calls. But you know, I do like

65
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: that since we're all in talking about the Olympics competition,

66
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think at the end of the year

67
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: or the yeah, at the we should have like an

68
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: award ceremony, you know, like a radio award ceremony. And

69
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: I think one of the categories should be not just

70
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: caller of the week, caller of the year. And so

71
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: every week everyone that it's the caller of the week

72
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: should then be put into a radio bag. Mike can

73
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: go over it if Mike wants. We can form a committee.

74
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: Although Mike won't like that, but let that go because

75
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 1: he loves the power. But let that go, and then

76
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: you know.

77
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: We decide best caller of the year. I like that.

78
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: Maybe we can do funniest Caller of the Year, worst

79
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Caller of the Year, and like, you know, like the

80
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Olympics and have some fun.

81
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 3: What do you think, Bruce, Here, here's what I think

82
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: about this Goo, this gool girl. Now you know we

83
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: have Elizabeth wahre in the fake Indians. We got Goo,

84
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: the fake American. She's disgusting anybody that puts down this country.

85
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: If you go, if you are a if you're a

86
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: you go your work some place and you go to

87
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: a conference and you even say one bad word about

88
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: your company or something that you dislike. You know, entitled,

89
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: you're getting paid to do something, you're getting You're supposed

90
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: to be there for the company. Well, this is our country.

91
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: If you don't have anything good to say about the country,

92
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: then don't go represent us. Go to hell.

93
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: I agree, really, honestly, I so agree to me. This

94
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: is such common sense. I mean, if you hate your

95
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: country that much that you can't even control yourself and

96
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: prevent yourself from bad mouthing it when you're representing your nation.

97
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: And this is not some little dinky event, this is

98
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, the eyes of the world are on the Olympics.

99
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: This is the biggest stage on the world, in the world,

100
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: and you just can't keep your mouth. And I'm sorry again.

101
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: I go back, love it or leave it. Joining us

102
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: now as she always does at this time. She is

103
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: the co founder, CEO, and president of Kelly Financial Services.

104
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: And yes, that is her wonderful name, Kelly, Kelly Kelly.

105
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: How are you, good morning, Jeff, I am good. Retirement

106
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: income today is layered traditional iras, four one ks Wrath accounts,

107
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: brokerage accounts and each one is taxed a little differently.

108
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: What many people don't realize is that even a single

109
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: withdrawal can influence your tax bracket, your Medicare premiums, or

110
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: how other income is treated. And when those moving parts

111
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: are not coordinated, that's when hesitation sets in. Not because

112
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: people don't heavy sources, but because they don't want unexpected

113
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: tax surprises. Confidence in retirement often comes from understanding how

114
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: those income sources are designed to work together under today's rules.

115
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: Although we are not tax advisors and we do recommend

116
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: speaking with a tax professional, a thoughtful distribution strategy can

117
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: help you stay more intentional about.

118
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: What you keep, not just what you withdraw.

119
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: If you'd like to take a closer look at how

120
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: your income is structured, give us a call or send

135
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is

136
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: the number. Uh. There are a couple lines open if

137

Speaker 1: you want to jump on. Now is the time to

138
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: do it. Six one seven two six six sixty eight

139
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: sixty eight.

140
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

141
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: This is from Dottie on Messenger, and I think she

142
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: makes a really good point about all these woke US

143
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: Olympians just trashing their own country, bad mouthing the United

144
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: States and constantly injecting politics at the Olympics, and NonStop criticism,

145
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: whether it be of Trump or Ice or whatever, any

146
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: issue or policy that they don't like, regarding what's happening

147
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: now in our nation. And Dottie makes this point, Jeff,

148
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: imagine being a salesman for a Ford dealer who tells

149
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: prospective customers how terrible Ford vehicles are, but how wonderful chevys, toyotas, etc.

150
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: Are bingo bingo. It's exactly, that's the perfect analogy.

151
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: She nailed it.

152
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, like you're representing your country, could you at least,

153
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, try to do it. Try to do it

154
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: with some dignity and some pride and some class.

155
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: Six to one.

156
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, you notice when Olympians from other

157
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: countries when they win the gold medal, even in the mike,

158
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: what is it ski mountaineering? Is that the name of

159
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: the sport again?

160
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

161
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: The new one? Okay, it was one. The male's side

162
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: was won by a guy from Spain. So the Spanish

163
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: won that one. He's on the gold medal podium. I

164
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: was watching this last night. He's crying. I mean, I mean, God,

165
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: bless him. I'm not you know, I'm not mocking him

166
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: or nothing far from it. Tears of joy. He's got

167
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: tears in his eyes. He's singing the national anthem of Spain.

168
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: He's he's so proud to be representing Spain. You think

169
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: this guy goes on about oh the conquistadors, Oh our

170
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: colonial history, Oh what we did, all the oppression, Oh my.

171
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: God, oh we should be so ashamed.

172
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: They'd run him out of Spain, they'd say, what is

173
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: wrong with you, dude. So what I'm saying is, you

174
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: know other Olympians from other countries, they're they're proud. I'm

175
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: not saying there aren't Americans. There are plenty of Americans.

176
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: That's why I led with the US women's hockey team.

177
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: They were beaming, I mean, smiling ear to ear and

178
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: tearing up at the national anthem and representing their country.

179
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: It was it was a beautiful thing to watch. But

180
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is you've got these woke US Olympic athletes,

181
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: these leftists, and you're just trashing and trashing and trashing

182
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: and trashing, and you've got everyone else. They're crying tears

183
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: of joy to represent their country, especially if they win

184
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: a medal, never mind the gold medal. So it's like

185
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: a you know, you're you're working for a dealership, GM,

186
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: Ford whatever, and you're saying Ford Ford vehicle suck, suck.

187
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Why aren't you going to the Mazda dealership? You should

188
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: go to Mazda. Well, Mazda's better, They're better over there.

189
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with these athletes. It's an embarrassment.

190
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: It's an embarrassment. Six one, seven, two, six, six, sixty eight,

191
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: sixty eight. It's an embarrassment for uzbekistand for I don't

192
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: know Latvia. I'm not trying to pick on the Latvians.

193
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, you know, small countries in the world,

194
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: never mind for the greatest country in the history of

195
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: the world.

196
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: It's a slap in the face.

197
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: Al and Bill Rica, Thanks for holding al and welcome.

198
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 5: Hey, how are you, Jeff?

199
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: How are you out?

200
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: Excellent? Thank you. I've got a couple of points that

201
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: I want to make. I want to specifically address Eileen Gou,

202
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: but before that, because you talk so much about you

203
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 5: on the Bob's led and competing and getting that gold medal.

204
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 5: This is what came to mind when you said that. Jeff.

205
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 5: Remember remember the Wild World of Sports? Yes, remember the

206
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 5: beautiful opening scene with the music and the skier crashes

207
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 5: and they say the agony of defeat. Well, I envisioned

208
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 5: you on the box led coming off the tracks and

209
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 5: that music playing in the agony of defeat. I'm sorry

210
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 5: if I hurt your feelings.

211
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Jeff, Wow, what about the luge?

212
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Do you think I mean you think I could Mike

213
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: thinks I could compete for the luge.

214
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 5: What do you think, Well, well, I don't know. The

215
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 5: way you describe your body type. You may be scraping

216
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 5: on the ground. I don't know, man. But but listen,

217
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: if we want to criticize any sport, let's criticize bochi

218
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 5: on ice. You know, come on, give me a give

219
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 5: me a break.

220
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Yes, very you're right, that's a very good way to

221
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: put it. It's bochi on ice. That is very true.

222
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: I think I could do curling. What do you think.

223
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: Ice blocks? Definitely? So, Jeff, I don't mean to be

224
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: mean to you. So here's my point. Here's my point,

225
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: and it's a very important point. Eileen Gou, I could

226
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: care less about her. Yes, she's a disgrace, one hundred percent, absolutely,

227
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 5: but let's forget about her, not pay her any attention,

228
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 5: because the individual that we should be paying attention to

229
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: is a Lissa Lou She won the gold medal. That

230
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 5: was a huge story behind her, and you've got to

231
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 5: look it up. So she won the gold medal in freestyle.

232
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 5: It's the beautiful kid, gracious. Her family came from China.

233
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 5: Her father went into exile in the late eighties because

234
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 5: he supported the democracy movement there. And she's a U.

235
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: She won the goal for the US. Why don't we

236
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 5: focus on someone like her, tell her story and let's

237
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 5: forget about Aileen gu with the millions of dollars, who

238
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 5: cares well.

239
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: And just to add, you're right, by the way, I

240
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: think this Alisau is a an incredible athlete, a great

241
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: am American and a great skater. And my wife is

242
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: a big fan of skating in general. That's the one

243
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: thing she loves to watch in the Olympics. Grace loves skating,

244
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: just anything, ice dancing, skating, men's women's pears, you know, couples.

245
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: She that's that's her thing. That's what she watches. I'm

246
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: frankly more of a hockey guy. And I notice sounds crazy,

247
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: how but I have this hypnotic fascination with curling. I

248
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: don't know why. I just ash, not just watch it.

249
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just I don't know what it is.

250
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, but you know, we're the hockey. You know,

251
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: we're hockey. Ash and I are into the hockey. But

252
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: long story short, she went to Beijing, and when they

253
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: were in Beijing four years ago, the Communists were actually

254
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: spying on her and on her father, So the Chinese

255
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Communist Party was literally spying on him and trying to

256
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: intimidate her and threaten her when they were in China.

257
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: So you're right. She comes from a Chinese family, their dissidence.

258
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: Her father was part of Tieneman Square. And look at this,

259
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: it's an American dream. It's an American dream. They went

260
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: from being oppressed, literally oppressed. Her father was almost murdered

261
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: by the regime. They were spied on by the regime.

262
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: And this woman turns in one performance for the ages

263
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: and wins the gold medal. Honestly, I hope for her

264
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: nothing but the best. I hope she gets a ton

265
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: of endorsements, and I'd love to see her face on

266
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: a Wheatie's box because to me, to me, that's the

267
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: story of America. And I'm so happy you brought it up. Al,

268
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. So And if you haven't seen

269
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: her performance, alisa U Liu, it was. Honestly, I'm not

270
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: a skating guy, but I'm telling you she hate it

271
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: out of the park. It was graceful, it was beautiful.

272
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: Tim in South Dennis, thanks for holding Tim, and.

273
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 6: Welcome Jeff, my friend. I love you. In a non

274
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 6: sexual manner as all you.

275
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: Tim, Thank you listen. We're trying to we want to

276
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: win a gold medal. We're thinking Mike and I. We're

277
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: thinking Bob sled, right, can you Bob sled?

278
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: Can you help us?

279
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: We'll be the weight in the middle, you know, the

280
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: second and the third guy. You just run on the

281
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: sled and then you hunker down. But we need somebody

282
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: to drive the sled. Can you drive the sled that?

283
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 3: Tim?

284
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 6: Well, I may not be the poster boy for physical

285
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 6: fitness anymore, but like not like I ever was. But

286
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 6: I'll certainly try.

287
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: But that's what we're looking for, Tim. We don't want

288
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: a poster boy for physical fitness. It's the Bob sled

289
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: for God's sake.

290
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 6: Okay, why not count me in.

291
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: We need as much weight on that sled as possible. Tim,

292
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: The bigger the better. Well.

293
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 6: Absolutely. You know these idiots that are over here trash

294
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 6: in America. Maybe while they're over there, someone should take

295
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 6: them on a tour of those camps like Dacow or

296
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 6: Alschwitz and then take them on a tour of the

297
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 6: American Cemetery over Omaha Beach. You know, to people that

298
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 6: have been I mean, first of all, I'll show you

299
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 6: what real evil looks like. But they'll tell you people

300
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 6: have been in combat. I'll tell you eighty one years

301
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 6: ago our Marines were fighting on Ewo Jima, probably the

302
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 6: hardest battle they've been in their history. But they'll tell

303
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 6: you two things combat veterans, if you talk to them. One,

304
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 6: the only thing that matters after a bit isn't what

305
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 6: the president thinks or anyone else thinks. The man on

306
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 6: your left and the man on your right. And they'll

307
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 6: also tell you seeing that flag means something to them.

308
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 6: So out there, these woke idiots go over there and

309
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 6: talk about, well America sucks or I don't like Donald Trump.

310
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 6: It's like, what do you know about sacrifice or anything?

311
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: And tim just and I promise I'll give you the

312
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: final word, but just to reinforce what you're saying. And

313
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: you're going for the throat, and you should. You know,

314
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: you're saying, Hey, go to Dacau, go to Auschwitz, or

315
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: go to Omaha Beach and look at those you know,

316
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: the the cemetery that they have of all those Americans

317
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: who died.

318
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: Don't even do that.

319
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: Just get out of your village at the Olympics and

320
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: just talk to ordinary Italians about what life is like

321
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: in Italy now now here. Grace has family in Italy,

322
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: like my wonderful wife. She has a very dear friend

323
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: that lives and works in Italy. She's Italian. Okay, your

324
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: friend is born and raised in Italy. She works for

325
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: a company. This is common in Italy. Actually it's common

326
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: in Europe. She will not speak out about politics at

327
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: all in the office. Why because if someone finds out

328
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: that you oppose the current party in power, you're going

329
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: to lose your job. Like this is very common in Italy.

330
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: So they're like Italians marvel at the freedom we have

331
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: in America, where they say, you mean, like you can

332
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: just trash Donald Trump at work and you keep your job,

333
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, or you trash Joe Biden at work.

334
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: Like they couldn't believe it.

335
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: Like when I was, you know, bashing Biden, and her

336
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Italian friends were like, you know, in Italy, they would

337
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: have fired that.

338
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: Just Jeff would have been fired. That's it. For nothing

339
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: else to say. I heard would have fired him. Like

340
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: that's just how it is.

341
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: In Italy, by the way, That's how it is in

342
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: many European countries. So what you say at home, that's

343
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: something else. But at the workplace, you go up against

344
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: the party in power, you're lucky to keep your job.

345
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, talk to Italians and they'll tell

346
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: you how hard life is, how one affordable life is,

347
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: how much less freedom they have there, how they can't

348
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: believe how much freedom we have here. And so in

349
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: other words, see the world a little bit and you'll

350
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: see how privileged and lucky you are to be an American. Tim, Please,

351
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: final word to you, just on a small matter like this. Okay,

352
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: at work, do you criticize? Can you even talk politics

353
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: and criticize the leader of your country without potentially jeopardizing

354
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: your job?

355
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 6: Well, I think in America it really all depends on

356
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 6: where you are like And if you're opposed to Trump,

357
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: you can say all you want. If you like Donald Trump,

358
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 6: that's when you got to kind of be guarded because

359
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 6: that's when people start filing complaints, if they feel offended

360
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 6: and all that kind of stuff. So it really but

361
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 6: I mean, you do have more freedom than anywhere else

362
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 6: in the world. And I'll stand by this. I think

363
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 6: this is the greatest nation in the earth has ever seen.

364
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 6: God bless it, God bless you, and I'm proud to

365
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 6: call you a fellow American, my friend on the Bob

366
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 6: Fledding Trail.

367
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: Tim, God bless you and thank you for your service.

368
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: You know much.

369
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: I love you.

370
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: Vets.

371
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: We have the greatest constitution, we have the greatest founding

372
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just I'm sorry.

373
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: It's the truth.

374
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: We have the greatest founding fathers. We have the greatest constitution.

375
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: We have the greatest country in the history of the world.

376
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: Are we perfect? Of course not.

377
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: Nobody's perfect. Nothing is perfect, okay except for God. But

378
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: it's as close to perfect as you can get. And

379
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: no one comes close. They don't come close. So if

380
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: you can't represent this country with pride and stand up

381
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: for our anthem with pride, then you tell me what

382
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: country and what fly can you? So you're an ingrate.

383
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: That's what you are.

384
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: You're an ingrate.

385
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: Six one seven That's what I say to all these

386
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: woke athletes. Six one seven two six six sixty eight

387
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: sixty eight. Karen in Tewksbury, Thanks for holding Karen, and welcome.

388
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: Oh.

389
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 7: I absolutely love you and I've been listening to you

390
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 7: a few years and I hate to dash your your

391
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 7: hopes and your dreams. But the very very last, very

392
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 7: last medal you could ever win is with de luge

393
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 7: of the bob Slith.

394
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: I know that you have.

395
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 7: It's a it's a sport of subtlety. If you twitch

396
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 7: your little toe it sends you forty five degrees off.

397
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 7: Then that you have to slide it big air on.

398
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: On, you know, skith.

399
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 7: But let me tell you smash the other thing though

400
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 7: that I would really say if you did smash down

401
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 7: when they were carried out on a stretcher, you'd be

402
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 7: pumping your fist and saying, God, bless America and God, I.

403
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: Love you.

404
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: Boy, Karen. I didn't know you were such a doubter. No,

405
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: you're right.

406
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: I probably suck at the bob sled at the loose. Karen,

407
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: thank you very very much for that call. I mean, Mike,

408
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: what do you think maybe if they do like a

409
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: snowman competition, maybe you know, build an igloo. I think,

410
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: what do you think, Mike? I think maybe we can

411
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: do that. I don't know, you know, a snowball competition.

412
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe
