1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: When I say that medicare, there are really two responses,

2
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: one of which probably affects who you are maybe three.

3
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: One is don't really know what that is and don't

4
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: really care. Another one is that's a big governmental expenditure.

5
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what all it covers, but I know

6
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: that in the conversation of the budget, that's a big one.

7
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: In number three, that's my everything. My history with medicare

8
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: was I when my brother passed, he would go over

9
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: to my parents' house every single day and check on

10
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: him very much, the sheep dog mentality, you know, protect

11
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: care for counsel. And so without him there, I hired

12
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: an assistant for them to be there with them. And

13
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: it's what a difference it's made. Her mother and my

14
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: mother were very close friends, so she loves my mother

15
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: like her own mother, and her mother passed away, so

16
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: it couldn't be any better. Now they can't drive. She

17
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: drives them to their medical appointments, which are constant. As

18
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: you could imagine. She sits with them in the hospital.

19
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: My mom was in the hospital last night, she had

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: a fall, and just these things happen, right, and she's there.

21
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: I can't be there, So it has really been a

22
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: big help, so I said, so, my mom said, well,

23
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: you take over our finances. She was handling them herself

24
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: before that, so I was able to put everything online.

25
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can do it from a distance. And

26
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: a buddy of mine from law school, Michael Kat, has

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: a successful law practice there and he helps me out

28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: just great, great guy, and he helps me out as

29
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: not really so much their attorney, although he does their

30
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: legal documents, not that they need many, but just kind

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: of helping them through making sure, you know, things are

32
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: being done right. And I did not realize how much

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: medicare becomes your life because you can't imagine. You either

34
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about or you don't. But for

35
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: those of you who don't, you cannot imagine how much

36
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: time you're going to spend with medical professionals going to

37
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: the doctor's office, getting MRIs cat scans, blood draws, all

38
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: of these things done people home health. I mean, it

39
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: goes all the way from your basic preventative and annuals

40
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: and all those sorts of things, all the way to

41
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: hot fists until the day you die and you just

42
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: kind of transition, you know, you come into this world

43
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: with medical professionals around you. For most people, unless you're

44
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: born at home and we go out of this world,

45
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: especially if we age.

46
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: It's just the nature of it.

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: It's not sad. People will say it's sad. No, it's

48
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: the full life cycle. I'm just glad to have my parents.

49
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Every day I have them. So Medicare becomes the funding

50
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: source for all of that. And what Medicare will and

51
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: will not do has everything to do with the quality

52
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: and type of care you can possibly get. So I

53
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: heard about this company called Senior Health Services dot Com

54
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: and it's a guy named Justin White, and Justin White

55
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: is kind of the rain man of Medicare. He knows

56
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: everything Medicare inside out and that's all he does all day,

57
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: every day. No, he doesn't watch Judge Waltner ramon. Let

58
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: me focus on my analogy. It's the best not to

59
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: come up with. He might watch Judge Watner Watner at four,

60
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Watner at four. But he has become my trusted resource

61
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: on Medicare. And I said to him in time, I said,

62
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if we could make this work financially,

63
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: but I'd love for you to be a show sponsor

64
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: because I'd love to be able to talk about you

65
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: all day, every day, and we were able to make

66
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: it work financially. And it has been something that it's

67
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: not every single day, but several times a week someone

68
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: will email in and say, who's your Medicare guy? And

69
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: I can take that email, forward it to Justin or

70
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: copy Justin and say this is him right here. You

71
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: guys take it from there, and that is a huge resource.

72
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: You know.

73
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: I told you you should have your doctors before you

74
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: need them. You should have an attorney you trust before

75
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: you need him. You should have a CPA helping your

76
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: business these sorts of things.

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: Sure, there's lots of Charlatan's.

78
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: Sure people don't want to pay anybody to do anything,

79
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you finding people who are experts in

80
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: their field rather than you trying to figure it out yourself.

81
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: Many times, you're pennywise pound foolish if you try to

82
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: navigate a system that you don't know rather than bring

83
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: in a professional. Justin White Senior Health Services dot Com.

84
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: Justin.

85
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: We keep hearing about all these changes coming to Medicare.

86
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: Before we get into those changes, why are all these

87
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: changes happening?

88
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: Hey? Well, first off, good morning, what an incredible intro man,

89
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: I really appreciate that. I love that. That's the first

90
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: time I've been called the rain man of Medicare. So

91
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: we're going to drive slow on the Medicare driveway today exactly.

92
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: So we're going to go in. So the Inflation Reduction

93
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: Act is what's driving all this and what a service

94
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: that you're providing giving people a heads up by things

95
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: like that to let there's going to be a lot

96
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: of folks blindsided by what's coming. The Inflation Reduction Act

97
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: is a lot of people know, was signed into law

98
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: by Biden back in twenty two. The tie breaking vote

99
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 3: was cast by Harris, and it essentially there's a lot

100
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: of stuff in that legislation. I'm going to talk about

101
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: all of it obviously, but it essentially rewrites Medicare Part D,

102
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: which is the part that handles the prescription drugs, which

103
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: is you know, is so high on everybody's priority list

104
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: because that's what people use to control symptoms and conditions

105
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: and things like that, and everybody knows that that's a

106
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: soft spot for a lot of folks. And it rewrites

107
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: that plan. Makes some of it good, and there's a

108
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: lot of good things that are there, but it essentially

109
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: changes the way it's funded, and that's where the problem is,

110
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: and that's what I want to make sure everybody kind

111
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 3: of knows what's potentially coming so that they can plan

112
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: and they know where the where they can get the

113
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: information about their particular plan and then be able to

114
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: reach out to somebody if they need help beyond that. So,

115
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: do you want me to go in kind of to

116
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: where the changes are coming from and go.

117
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: A minute and half. Hill, I'll interrupt you when I

118
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: need to, and we'll get to in the next one.

119
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: Keep going.

120
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: You got it, buddy, Okay. So in prescription medications, it's

121
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: basically being rewritten. Like I said, it was signed in

122
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: twenty two and twenty three. We saw some changes, some

123
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: smaller changes that were talked about last fall and they

124
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: went into effect in twenty four. So some of your

125
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: listeners that have got the prescription drug plans for the

126
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: meds up, they saw some adjustments there. There were a

127
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: few changes that went through in Medicare advantage plans, but

128
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: all but mentally they were smaller. This year, you're going

129
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: to see introduced a lot larger changes that are going

130
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: into effect in twenty twenty five January, and they're going

131
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: to sound good. There's some good stuff. The maximount of

132
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: pocket is being dropped from eight thousand this year all

133
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: the way down to two thousand, so one fourth of

134
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: what it is this year. And the coverage gap, the

135
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: ridiculous donut hole that's been there from the beginning, that's

136
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: been eliminated completely, thank Heaven. And then they've actually also

137
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: mandated that the payment plan to smooth everybody's drug payments

138
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: across through the year. That's been mandated as well. And

139
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: I don't know why they didn't do that years ago,

140
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: because that just makes all the sense in the world

141
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: to keep people from going in and seeing this roller

142
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: coaster of prices up and down. I mentioned that too.

143
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: They go, well, Justin, that sounds really really good, and

144
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: it does. The problem is is where the funding is

145
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: coming from.

146
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: Hold right there has made Justin White is our guest

Speaker 1: which is where I send people who need help navigating

151
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: the very complicated world of medicare, which is very important

152
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: if you're sixty five and up. Justin, I think you

153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: were in the middle of an answer, I'll let you

154
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: finish that and we'll move to the next one.

155
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, so just a quick summary Part D of Medicare,

156
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: the prescription parts being rewritten by the Inflation Reduction Act,

157
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: and the changes are coming through the way they're funding it.

158
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 3: So this year, to make this as simple as possible,

159
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: the maximunt of pocket for drugs and Part D is

160
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: eight thousand dollars and when somebody reaches that threshold, and

161
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: not many people do because that's a lot of money.

162
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: But when they reach that threshold, Medicare covers eighty percent

163
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: of the remaining costs and the insurance companies the Part

164
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 3: D plans have to cover twenty percent and the beneficiary

165
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: pays nothing. In January of twenty five, the mandate has

166
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: come and lowered the eight thousand down to two so

167
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: four times faster. But Medicare has also taken their responsibility

168
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: from eighty percent to twenty percent when they hit so

169
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: a lot more people are going to hit that two

170
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: tho thousand dollars threshold, and then Medicare is going from

171
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: eighty to twenty. The pharmaceutical companies are bringing in what

172
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 3: I think amounts to a coupon for twenty percent and

173
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: then the drug companies are going to have to cover

174
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: the rest. So they're seeing their liability increase on the

175
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: medicines that are going to come a lot faster because

176
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: of that lower threshold, and they're jumping from twenty percent

177
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 3: to sixty And at the time this was put through,

178
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: there was no additional money or very little it was

179
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: appropriated to help with the extra expenses. And that's what's

180
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: going to cause this storm of sorts to arrive, this

181
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: fault that people are going to start getting notified about

182
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: in their mailboxes this month.

183
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: So what does that look like?

184
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: That's essentially what's going on. So yep, Well, when the

185
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: carriers are looking they have any business owner knows that

186
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: if you have a giant line item that's tripled all

187
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: of a sudden, literally within a couple of months, there's

188
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 3: got to be they've got to go in and find money.

189
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: If there's not money provided, they've got to go find it.

190
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: So it could mean that people are going to go

191
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: and they're going to get their annual notices have changed

192
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 3: this year, and they're going to see copays and co

193
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: insurances be adjusted upward. There could be a maximum amount

194
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: of pockets raised upward. There could be premiums or deductibles

195
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 3: added where there weren't ones before, and it could hit

196
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: any of the plans that have prescription drug covers in them.

197
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: So whether it's a standalone plan with supplements or a

198
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: Medicare advantage plan that includes prescription drugs, they have to

199
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: literally go back into the plan benefits and find money

200
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: that they can shift over into the drug portion so

201
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: that they can cover their increased liability in the medication.

202
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: And so that's so it could be I mean, it

203
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: could be anything we're seeing. I'm not at liberty because

204
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: we're not allowed to talk about this stuff until the

205
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: first of October by federal law. But we're seeing the

206
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: changes and they're not insignificant. In many cases, some plans

207
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: are going to be affected by you know, more than others.

208
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: But people need to really really watch for that notice

209
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: for their specific plan, uh and take a look at

210
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: it so they know how it's going to affect them

211
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: and they can reach out and for help if they need.

212
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: It, and what can be done if there is a

213
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: problem or if they want to push back on this

214
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: if if well, what can be done, what what measures

215
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: are there.

216
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: Well, the first thing that everybody needs to do, and

217
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: this is going to be different for a lot. There's

218
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: a document called the Annual Notice of Change that is

219
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: mandated by federal law that all the insurance companies must

220
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: send out to their you know, to their clients with

221
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: a prescription drug plan or a medicare advantage, showing them

222
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: telling them how their plan is going to change for

223
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: the coming year. And those things are going to start

224
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: showing up. They usually show up in September and normally

225
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: towards the latter part of September. So I would just

226
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: prebody watch for that. Open every single piece of mail

227
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 3: from your carrier this this September, in this fall, and

228
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: open that thing up, and when you get the one

229
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: that says annual Notice of change, look at that thing

230
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: and then you'll be able to determine because they'll show

231
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: your specific information there. And then if you have a problem,

232
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: if you're looking at it goes, oh my gosh, what's

233
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 3: happened to my plan? I need to look at this.

234
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: If you have an agent that you love and trust,

235
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: call them and say you please come over here and

236
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: review this thing for me. Or if you don't have

237
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: somebody you can call an organization like US Senior Hill Services.

238
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 3: That's all we do, and we do it for free,

239
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 3: just to help people navigate what's going on. But the

240
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: changes are significant, we're already seeing them, and in some plans,

241
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: they're very significant. And the main thing the first thing

242
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: they can do is just protect themselves with knowledge.

243
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: People are going to ask. So it's better to explain that.

244
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: When you say we do it for free, you mean

245
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: our listener who calls you is not the person who

246
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: compensates you.

247
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: Correct. Correct.

248
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: We do not charge any sort of a consultation fee.

249
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: There are folks that will do that.

250
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: We do not.

251
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 3: You know, if we get paid anything, it's basically we

252
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: get paid by the carriers and oftentimes the carriers get

253
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,239
Speaker 3: that from the federal government. So we are a resource

254
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: free of charge to anybody that has or needs you know,

255
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: has questions or needs help.

256
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: How will folks know.

257
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: How and whether their plan, their Medicare plan, will change

258
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: Medicare for better or worse. It's it's what they're comfortable with,

259
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: it's what they've been using.

260
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: Who's going to be affected the most?

261
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: And how will folks know if they're going to be

262
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: affected and to what extent.

263
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: Well, that annual notice of change is going to tell

264
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: the tale. When they get that, they can open it

265
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: up and look at it. And the problem is most people,

266
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: you know, when that thing comes in, it just looks

267
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: like another piece of junk mail. So a lot of

268
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: people throw it away and they don't look at it.

269
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: And only ten percent of people usually shop each year

270
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: for medicare. That's how it is. People sit tight. That's

271
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: why so many people are going to wake up and go, oh,

272
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: my gosh, what just happened to my plan? So we're

273
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: expecting as high as seventy percent this year are going

274
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 3: to be shopping. They may go in and try it

275
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: and go, oh, you know why am I paying so

276
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: much more now? Et cetera. But if they can look

277
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: at that thing, they will know how their plan is

278
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: going to change. And if there's something on there that

279
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: they don't understand, they need to call someone. Because these

280
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: these changes like this have not happened in recent memory,

281
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: and for most people, they've never happened. You know, this

282
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: funding change, it's almost like being in a way, it's

283
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: like being invited to dinner and the person who invites

284
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: you orders five hundred dollars worth of food and says,

285
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: you eat up and you enjoy all this, It's going

286
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: to be so wonderful. And then they flip one hundred

287
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: dollars on the table and go to the bathroom and

288
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: don't come back. That's kind of the way that the

289
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: whole thing feels. And it's going to be a real

290
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: tough thing. The carriers have been trying to figure out

291
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: where they can find money to shift to the drug part,

292
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: and so anybody with drugs included in their plan are

293
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: going to be affected in some way, and again some

294
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: more than others. But it's something they've just got to

295
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: look at that and then call if they have questions.

296
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: All right, I got a minute and a half left.

297
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to the you and I've talked

298
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: about the demonstration program by email.

299
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: Can you explain that.

300
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, absolutely so. This all the companies had to

301
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: put in their bids in June because of this Inflation

302
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: Reduction Act changes. And I think these are my words,

303
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: but I think when those bids came in in June,

304
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: the people at Medicare looked at those and goes, oh

305
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: my gosh, this is not good. And so they created

306
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: a demonstration program which is basically a test program to

307
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: funnel money into something. And that's what this is. It

308
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: is bringing billions and billions in to help and this

309
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: is in their own words, it says to offset the

310
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: or blunt the effect of the rate increases that are

311
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: coming through because of this legislation. So it's almost like

312
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: in a way that they're kind of bailing it out

313
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: before it's even in effect. And that was something that

314
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: came out Literally I didn't even know about it until

315
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: late July, and so this is something that's going on

316
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: right now, and it's just showing how concerned they are

317
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 3: with what's going to be happening potentially inside these plans

318
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 3: and programs. But it is money if that's being filtered through.

319
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: But it's one of those things that it's kind of

320
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: came along kind of late, and not everybody's going to

321
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: be able to opt into it, and it's just bringing

322
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: in money to help make the plan not degrade as much.

323
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: And I don't know a bit. I mean, timing's questionable,

324
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure, but that's what it is. It's just coming

325
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 3: in and saying, yeah, this has went a little further

326
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 3: than we thought, so we need to do something to

327
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 3: blunt it the way, this is.

328
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: The cost of the Inflation Reduction Act. That folks, they

329
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: took money from Medicare and put it into their pet

330
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: programs and they're hoping you won't notice that until after

331
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: the election. Justin White Senior Health Services dot Com. Thank you, sir.

332
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: I send a lot of listeners folks who email me.

333
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, not just for him. If you

334
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: hear me talk about somebody, whether they're a show sponsor

335
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: or I just tell you there's somebody that I trust,

336
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: and you email me through the website. If I have

337
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: their personal email in a relationship, I will forward you

338
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: directly to them to make sure you're taking care of it.

339
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: I like lack Aberri.

340
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Show, despite recent bombings in Lebanon, despite a train being down,

341
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: a plane being down in Asia, despite many other major

342
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: world news stories, the biggest international story. His celebration of

343
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: life event would have three hundred million viewers across the country.

344
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: The biggest story on this day in two thousand and

345
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: six was the death of the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, who,

346
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: at only forty four years old, died when pierced in

347
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: the chest by a short tail stingray barb while filming

348
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: in the Great Barrier Reef with Philippe Cousteau junior, son

349
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: of course of Jacques Cousta. The stinger penetrated the thoracic wall,

350
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: causing massive trauma.

351
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: He did not die immediately, it was quite painful.

352
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: He was at bat Reef near Port Douglas, Queensland, taking

353
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: part in the production of the documentary Center series Ocean's Deadliest.

354
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: It's believed to be the only fatality from a stingray

355
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: captured on video. He and his wife had a production company.

356
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: They were filming for the production company, but the weather

357
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: and conditions were such that they could not film at

358
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: that exact moment. So to make the most of the day,

359
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: he had started his daughter with her own show, which

360
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: was a television which was a children's television program about

361
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: the joys of nature. And they saw a stingray resting

362
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: in shallow water. I say resting, I think that's the

363
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: term they used. I watched a documentary about this last night.

364
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: A stingray who was for whatever reason, in very very

365
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: shallow water, and stingrays are not known to attack. So

366
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: he went up to the stingray to take some footage

367
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: of it. And if they don't like what you're doing,

368
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: apparently they will swim away, very fast swimmers, and for

369
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason, because he had done this many times before,

370
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: the stingray hits him with a barb in puncturing his

371
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: lung and piercing his heart, which was just shocking. In fact,

372
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: they said that since nineteen forty there had only been

373
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: five documented cases in Australia of a person being killed

374
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: by a stingray, and around the world only twenty. It

375
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen that you die from a stingray attack,

376
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: and he was in great pain and would eventually succumb.

377
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: The documentary was about his Australia Zoo, which his parents

378
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: had founded and he grew up in. You know, the problem,

379
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: like with anyone else, is he shouldn't go too deep

380
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: into politics because he'll start saying things like a four

381
00:21:59,400 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: year old.

382
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: Time any maybe we shack down on other companies.

383
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: He said some really stupid, unrealistic things about.

384
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: Industry and energy.

385
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: But I love his passion for the natural world, and

386
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a very healthy thing to be encouraged

387
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: and promoted, not only among the use youth. I think

388
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: it's a healthy thing to be encouraged and promoted among

389
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: all of us because I don't think people get enough

390
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: fresh air. I think the wonders of connectedness on social

391
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: media have become a crutch for many people, and it

392
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: comes at the expense of fresh air and the wind

393
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: blowing through the trees in a beautiful, gentle breeze, in

394
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: the sounds of nature. Now, I don't mean them, damn cicadas.

395
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,239
Speaker 1: I could kill those cicadas like nobody's business. Crockett has

396
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: a bullfrog that shows up once a year. I don't

397
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: know if it's a mating season or he thinks it's funny,

398
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: or he loves the advent.

399
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: Of the football season. I don't know what it is.

400
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: There's a bullfrog that comes up to Crockett's window every year,

401
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: and several years ago, Crockett would complain about this bullfrog,

402
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: and I thought, kid, you are so spoiled. That's all

403
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: you got to worry about. Is a bullfrog, anything anything

404
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: of it. And I, obviously I didn't do anything about

405
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: it and't go gig it. So a few days later,

406
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: there was a light out on our security system and

407
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: I went out to test and I told my wife,

408
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: just see film going out there. So I can see

409
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: what it looks like and how much of this little

410
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: area it has a spotlight, so if somebody was in

411
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: that area, we do something about it. I walk out there,

412
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: and I'm outside the Crockett's window and I'm walking along.

413
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: And all was like wow.

414
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I swear I had walked up on a

415
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: Democrat getting ready to break into my house. I jumped

416
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: out of my skin. How in the world did this

417
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: little thing make all that noise? And I mean, I

418
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: guess the point was. My wife has a theory. She

419
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: loves we go hiking to hear the woods come alive,

420
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: because in her mind, they're all saying, hey, they're coming, Hey, guys,

421
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: they're coming over here. Y'all, y'all look out, they're coming

422
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: over here, which I always thought was kind of a

423
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: cute way to look at it, and it is. And

424
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: so he really doesn't have a lot of defense mechanisms.

425
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can peel on you or not,

426
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: because that's all frogs have ever done to me. But

427
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: his mechanism was, Hey, I can't really do anything, but

428
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know I'm here and maybe you'll

429
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: go away like a snake that can't really a non

430
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: venomous snake.

431
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: And boy, did it ever work. I went marching up to.

432
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Crockett's room and I said, Crockett, you're right, we're gonna

433
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: do something about the bullfrog.

434
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: And he said, oh, don't worry about it. I figured

435
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: out how to do the white noise on my sound machine,

436
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: so I just do that now and it doesn't bother me.

437
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 2: I said, okay, my moffucker. The border is closed, the

438
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 2: border is secure. The Michael Berry Show border is secure.

439
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: The only reason the border is not secure is Donald

440
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: Trump is my Republican trans.

441
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm a scatman. Chuck Berry was a scatman. A bunch

442
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: of pause.

443
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: He said that they could so was John Matchapel part.

444
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 5: Of the other.

445
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 4: That's a chick cat.

446
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: Do you see that scene Bult the Scatman where the girl.

447
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 2: Was trying to explain.

448
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: That he would have her sit in a hammock, lay

449
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: in a hammock, he cut the hole out in the

450
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: hammock for the poop shoot, and he would lay under

451
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: the hole with her on the poop shoot. And she

452
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: said he got so angry because she was constipated.

453
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding, you know, I get it.

454
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: You know, maybe everybody would have some little fetish if

455
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: they ever explored it. You just don't end up out

456
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: there right, especially pre internet. But I got a wonder

457
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: for mom, and don't even send me hate email over there.

458
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: I have to wonder what's going through your mind where

459
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: you say, you know, I love chocolate pudding. Okay, it's brown?

460
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Has that consistency? I mean, maybe I like call like,

461
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: what how does it happen the first time?

462
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: Seriously, Hey, I'm rich and you're poor down here in

463
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: Belize and here's I want to try something. So just

464
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: a little bit, just a tip, like, how does that?

465
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: How does that conversation go? Who did oh? Ramone said?

466
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 2: Premiere Radio Network.

467
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: Just released a press release saying, I'm just curious what

468
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: is going through your mind at that moment.

469
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: When you start that?

470
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: And then I guess, I mean he did it with

471
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: many women according to the documentary, So I guess at

472
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: some point he goes that is good, that's going to

473
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 1: go find some more. Does he ease into that conversation

474
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: like does he see a girl and go boy about

475
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: her poop taste?

476
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: Good?

477
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, Ramon, you have to wonder. Okay, you

478
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: can't just go grows, you can't. This is Democrat social justice,

479
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: and this is the collapse of society. A twelve year

480
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: old boy in Maryland is accused of breaking into a

481
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: car dealership. No, not just one, of breaking into two

482
00:28:52,920 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: car dealerships, Oh not just too, of breaking into three,

483
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: no four, actually five car dealerships. In some of the

484
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: break ins, he steals cars. They catch him, but due

485
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: to state juvenile justice laws recently passed in Maryland, he

486
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: can't even be charged.

487
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: So officers detain him and they drive him back home.

488
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 6: A twelve year old boy breaking into a car dealership.

489
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 6: Watches he opens the window at Pristine Auto in Rockville

490
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 6: early Tuesday, then climbs in headfirst. You can see him

491
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 6: wandering around the dealership for about fifteen minutes, searching various

492
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 6: drawers and desks. He opens the fridge looking for a snack,

493
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 6: and he goes outside and can be seen searching the

494
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 6: dealership's vehicles. Police forces tell News four it's not the

495
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 6: first time he's done this. These are the five Montgomery,

496
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 6: CA dealerships the boy is accused of targeting this month,

497
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 6: including BMW and Audi in Rockville. In some break ins,

498
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 6: he managed to steal cars, but in each case police

499
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 6: couldn't hold him due to his age. Under a Maryland

500
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 6: juvenile justice reform law passed two years ago, kids under

501
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 6: age thirteen can't be.

502
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: Charged with property crimes.

503
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 6: Employees here at Christine Otto tell me that same boy.

504
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: Came back here again two.

505
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 6: Days later to try to break in, this time while

506
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 6: workers were still in the office. The workers called police,

507
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 6: and officers caught the boy down the street. News four

508
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 6: is blurring his face here because he's a minor. Sources

509
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 6: familiar with the investigation tell News four police have had

510
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 6: to drop the boy off at his home in DC

511
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 6: after catching him.

512
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: So you know what happens to that kid? Bad things happen,

513
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: hands up, debt or in prison, maybe both. Do you

514
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: remember the story that by the way, that story credit

515
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,640

00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: Ted White talked to Latarian Milton about grabbing his grandmother's

518
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: keys and crashing her car.

519
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 7: Latarian Milton is not your typical seven year old. Few

00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 7: his age have ever driven an suv up and down

521
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 7: several busy streets. It all started at his mother's townhouse.

522
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 7: Latarian says he took the car keys and hopped into

523
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 7: his grandmother's dodge DURINGO.

524
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,600

525
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 5: the counter, my keys were going.

00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 4: I took my grandma car because I got mad at

527
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 4: my mom. And then I saw him to have my

528
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 4: friend come in, and he smoked his cigarettes.

529
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: He started the vehicle and put it into gear.

530
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 4: I yanked the I yanked, I yanked the.

531
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 7: Thing, and off they went, two seven year olds alone

532
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 7: on the road. Latarian drove several miles through Lake Park

533
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 7: and Palm Beach Gardens.

534
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,120

536
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: be able to see the stereo.

537
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 7: Along the way, he ran over two mailboxes, hit two

538
