Speaker 1: Boston's Bulldozer never sleeps. The Kooner Report weekend edition on

00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: the Voice of Boston WRKO.

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: Joining us now as she always does at this time.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: She is the co founder, CEO, and president of Kelly

5
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 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Kelly Kelly, how are you.

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 3: Good morning, Jeff, I am good. Retirement income today is

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: layered traditional iras four oh one k's Wrath accounts, brokerage accounts,

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: and each one is taxed a little differently. What many

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 3: people don't realize is that even a single withdrawal can

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: influence your tax bracket. Your Medicare premiums are how other

12
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: income is treated, and when those moving parts are not coordinated,

13
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: that's when hesitation set. Not because people don't have resources,

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: but because they don't want unexpected tax surprises. Confidence in

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: retirement often comes from understanding how those income sources are

16
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: designed to work together under today's rules. Although we are

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: not tax advisors and we do recommend speaking with a

18
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: tax professional, a thoughtful distribution strategy can help you stay

19
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: more intentional about what.

20
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 4: You keep, not just what you withdraw.

21
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: If you'd like to take a closer look at how

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: your income is structured. Give us a call or send

00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

41
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: This is from Dottie on Messenger, and I think she

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: makes a really good point about all these woke US

43
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: Olympians just trashing their own country, bad mouthing the United States,

44
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: and constantly injecting politics at the Olympics, and NonStop criticism,

45
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: whether it be of Trump or Ice or whatever, any

46
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: issue or policy that they don't like regarding what's happening

47
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: now in our nation. And Dottie makes this point, Jeff,

48
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: imagine being a salesman for a Ford dealer who tells

49
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: prospective customers how terrible Ford vehicles are, but how wonderful Chevys, Toyotas, etc.

50
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 5: Are.

51
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: Bingo, bingo. It's exactly. That's the perfect analogy. She nailed it.

52
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: You know, like you're representing your country, could you at least,

53
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: you know, try to do it, try to do it

54
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: with some dignity and some pride and some class six

55
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: to one. And by the way, you notice when Olympians

56
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: from other countries when they win the gold medal? Okay,

57
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: even in the mike, what is it ski mountaineering? Is

58
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: that the name of the sport again? Yeah? The new one? Okay,

59
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: it was one. The male's side was won by a

60
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: guy from Spain. Okay, so the Spanish won that one.

61
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: He's on the gold medal podium. I was watching this

62
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: last night. He's crying. I mean, I mean, God, bless him.

63
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: I'm not you know, I'm not mocking him or nothing.

64
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: Far from it. Tears of joy. He's got tears in

65
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: his eyes. He's singing the national anthem of Spain. He's

66
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: he's so proud to be representing Spain. You think this

67
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: guy goes on about oh the conquistadors, Oh our colonial history,

68
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: Oh what we did, all the oppression, Oh my.

69
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 4: God, Oh we should be so ashamed. They'd run him

70
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: out of Spain. They'd say, what is wrong with you, dude?

71
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is, you know other Olympians from

72
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: other countries, they're they're proud. I'm not saying there aren't Americans.

73
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: There are plenty of Americans. That's why I led with

74
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: the US women's hockey team. They were beaming, I mean,

75
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: smiling ear to ear and tearing up at the national

76
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: anthem and representing their country. It was it was a

77
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: beautiful thing to watch. But what I'm saying is, you've

78
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: got these woke US Olympic athletes, these leftists, and you're

79
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: just trashing and trashing and trashing and trashing, and you've

80
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 2: got everyone else they're crying tears of joy to represent

81
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: their country, especially if they win a medal, never mind

82
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: the gold medal. So it's like, you know, you're you're

83
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: working for a dealership, GM, Ford whatever, and you're saying

84
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: Ford Ford vehicle suck. Suck. Why aren't you going to

85
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: the Mazda dealership. You should go to Mazda. Well, Mazda's better,

86
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: They're better over there. It's the same thing with these athletes.

87
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: It's an embarrassment. It's an embarrassment six one seven two

88
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: six six sixty eight sixty eight. It's an embarrassment for

89
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: uzbekistand for I don't know Latvia. I'm not trying to

90
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: pick on the Latvians. What I'm saying is, you know,

91
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: small countries in the world, never mind for the greatest

92
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: country in the history of the world. It's a slap

93
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: in the face. Al and Bill Rica, thanks for holding

94
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: al and welcome.

95
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 5: Hey, how are you, Jeff, I'm good?

96
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: How are you out?

97
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 5: Excellent? Thank you. I've got a couple of points that

98
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 5: I want to make. I want to specifically address Aileen

99
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 5: Gou But before that, because you talk so much about

100
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 5: you on the Bob's led and competing and getting that

101
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: gold medal, this is what came to mind when you

102
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 5: said that. Jet. Remember remember the Wild World of Sports? Yes,

103
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 5: remember the beautiful opening scene with the music and the

104
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 5: skier crashes and they say the agony of defeat. Well,

105
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 5: I envisioned you on the box led coming off the

106
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 5: tracks and that music playing in the agony of defeat.

107
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 5: I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

108
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: Jeff, Wow, what about the luge? Do you think? I mean,

109
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: you think I could? Mike thinks I could compete for

110
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: the luge. What do you think?

111
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 5: Well, well, I don't know. The way you describe your

112
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: body type, you may be scraping on the ground. I

113
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 5: don't know, man. But but listen, if we want to

114
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 5: criticize any sport, let's criticize bochi on ice. You know,

115
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: come on, give me a give me.

116
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: A break, right, You're right, that's a very good way

117
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: to put it. It's Bochi on ice, that is very true.

118
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: I think I could do curling. What do you think?

119
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: Hey? I blocks definitely so, Jeff. I don't mean to

120
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: be mean to you. So here's my point. Here's my point,

121
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: and it's a very important point. Eileen Gou I could

122
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: care less about her. Yes, she's a disgrace one hundred percent, absolutely,

123
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 5: But let's forget about her, not pay her any attention,

124
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: because the individual that we should be paying attention to

125
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 5: is a Lissa lou She won the gold medal. That

126
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 5: was a huge story behind her and you've got to

127
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: look it up. So she won the gold medal in freestyle.

128
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: It's the beautiful kid, gracious. Her family came from China.

129
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 5: Her father went into exile in the late eighties because

130
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: he supported the democracy movement there. And she's a U.

131
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: She won the goal for the US. Why don't we

132
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 5: focus on someone like her, tell her story and let's

133
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 5: forget about Aileen gu with the millions of dollars who

134
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 5: cares well.

135
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: And just to add, you're right, by the way I

136
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: think this Aliso U is an an incredible athlete, a

137
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: great American and a great skater. And my wife is

138
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: a big fan of skating in general. That's the one

139
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: thing she loves to watch in the Olympics. Grace loves skating,

140
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: just anything, ice dancing, skating, men's women's pears, you know, couples.

141
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: She that's that's her thing. That's what she watches. I'm

142
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: frankly more of a hockey guy, and I notice sounds crazy,

143
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: how but I have this hypnotic fascination with curling. I

144
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: don't know why I just ash and not just watch it.

145
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just I don't know what it is.

146
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: But anyway, but you know, we're the hockey. You know

147
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: we're hockey. Ash and I are into the hockey. But

148
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: long story short, she went to Beijing, and when they

149
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: were in Beijing four years ago, the Communists were actually

150
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: spying on her and on her father. So the Chinese

151
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: Communist Party was literally spying on him and trying to

152
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: intimidate her and threaten her when they were in China.

153
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: So you're right. She comes from a Chinese family. Their dissidence.

154
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,480
