Speaker 1: All right, news, round up, information, overload, our toll free.
Speaker 1: Our number is eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Not
Speaker 1: only are we following this story the mysterious drones that
Speaker 1: are the size of dining room sets flying all over
Speaker 1: the state of New Jersey, nobody has any sense of urgency,
Speaker 1: nobody knows where they came from. And of course, but
Speaker 1: what we are being told repeatedly no evidence of a
Speaker 1: threat to public safety. Yet they know nothing about it.
Speaker 1: But they do know. They're sophisticated. They do know. The
Speaker 1: minute that you put your eyes on them, they go dark.
Speaker 1: Forty nine sightings and a day on Sunday. And here
Speaker 1: it is Wednesday, and we have no answers at all.
Speaker 1: And where's Biden and Harris and may Orcus and where's
Speaker 1: our military? And this sounds like a potential threat. It
Speaker 1: may end up being nothing. I don't know, but the
Speaker 1: fact that we don't know is a problem. Anyway. Joining
Speaker 1: us now to talk about this and much much more
Speaker 1: is our friend Eric Schmidt, Senator, Great State of Missouri.
Speaker 2: Sir, how are you I'm doing great, Sean, how are
Speaker 2: you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm good. Let's talk. We'll get to confirmation. Hearing is
Speaker 1: we've got a lot, we got a lot to talk about.
Speaker 1: What is your take. I'm obsessed. I cannot believe the
Speaker 1: lack of urgency regarding this drone issue. What are your thoughts?
Speaker 2: I agree with Sean, And it's sort of a reminder also,
Speaker 2: you know the Chinese spy balloon, it was sort of
Speaker 2: like this paralysis. They weren't getting any information out there.
Speaker 2: It traversed across the continental United States, including over Whiteman
Speaker 2: Air Force Base in Missouri, which is home to the
Speaker 2: B two selth bomber. So that flight pattern was no accident,
Speaker 2: and they need to get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2: And if it's a threat or they're trying to gain intelligence,
Speaker 2: they need to come down. They need to be shot down.
Speaker 2: So you know, we're searching for answers here on Capitol
Speaker 2: Hill too, which is should tell you something. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of incompetence. And also, Sean, it's
Speaker 2: the reason why world leaders are going to marl Lago
Speaker 2: right now. Joe Biden's been out to lunch for a
Speaker 2: long time. Kamala Harris is on vacation. This is not
Speaker 2: a good time for the United States of America's government,
Speaker 2: that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's forty days, and it's like forty
Speaker 1: days without any real leadership. And you know, we had
Speaker 1: Congressman Jeff Vanrew we played it in the in the
Speaker 1: last half hour of the program, actually suggesting that he
Speaker 1: heard from good sources that it could be an Iranian drone.
Speaker 1: I don't have any any means of absourcing that or
Speaker 1: backing it up, but that's what he's saying. And he's
Speaker 1: a pretty credible congressman when you say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And look, I serve on the Armed
Speaker 2: Services Committee, so it's the highest you know clearance you
Speaker 2: can have for you know, security clearance. And we've not
Speaker 2: there's not been any communication, which is troubling, very.
Speaker 1: Troubling, and there's been a lack of urgency, which is
Speaker 1: even more troubling. And you're right, we learned later that
Speaker 1: the Biden administration knew it was a Chinese spy balloon,
Speaker 1: but they were hoping we wouldn't notice. And that spy balloon,
Speaker 1: you know, all the way down through Alaska into the
Speaker 1: continental US, all across the country, Ziggin and Zagon, all
Speaker 1: over military bases, and it was a spy balloon, and
Speaker 1: they were just hoping that nobody would notice instead of
Speaker 1: just shooting that sucker down. And then their answer was, oh,
Speaker 1: we didn't want to hurt anybody on the ground. Well,
Speaker 1: there were plenty of times and opportunities to shoot it
Speaker 1: down when there was zero population beneath where the spy
Speaker 1: balloon was, and they didn't take advantage of it. And
Speaker 1: then they said, oh, never mind, you know, then out
Speaker 1: to the sea. But it was giving real time feedback
Speaker 1: to the Communist Chinese. I will tell you this, whoever
Speaker 1: is responsible for it, there will be consequences in forty
Speaker 1: days that I know. On the way out, we see
Speaker 1: a lot of maneuverings by the Biden administration seemingly designed
Speaker 1: to muddy up the waters for Donald Trump. Why Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: who wouldn't allow Poland to give MiGs to Ukraine and
Speaker 1: Zolensky and the beginning of the conflict there, you know,
Speaker 1: is now providing ballistic missiles so that and permission for
Speaker 1: Zolensky in Ukraine to fire them into Russia, which has
Speaker 1: resulted in high personic technology being used and a change
Speaker 1: in nuclear policy nuclear strike policy by Putin and Russia,
Speaker 1: which is if you fire a ballistic missile into Russia,
Speaker 1: they have every right to nuke you. So tensions are
Speaker 1: escalating there. Assad gets overthrown, and the first thing Joe
Speaker 1: Biden does there is start firing missiles into Syria knowing
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump wants a negotiated settlement in Europe. And
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said, stay out of what's going on in Syria.
Speaker 1: That's their problem. You know, why would he be doing that?
Speaker 2: Well, I think this is the last gas Sean of
Speaker 2: a failed foreign policy of Joe Biden. And it didn't
Speaker 2: start with Joe Biden, but it exists with Joe Biden
Speaker 2: that doesn't fully recognize I think where the American people
Speaker 2: wants to be and certainly what Donald Trump ran on,
Speaker 2: it's going to be a much more restrained foreign policy.
Speaker 2: We're going to have peace through strength, but it's going
Speaker 2: to be less interventionist. But I think what's really scary
Speaker 2: is that you take the Ukraine example, on their way out,
Speaker 2: the American people delivered a verdict, but on their way
Speaker 2: out sort of begging or or dating Vladimir Putin to
Speaker 2: overreact to extend the conflict that President Trump wants to
Speaker 2: solve and bring peace to that area. I mean, this
Speaker 2: is but again I think they're trying to tie the
Speaker 2: hands of President Trump. They're sending out, you know, twenty
Speaker 2: billion dollars more on the way out. They're doing this
Speaker 2: through a lot of agencies. But this is a dangerous
Speaker 2: game to play. President Trump's been very clear Europe needs
Speaker 2: to step up as relates to Europe. We need an
Speaker 2: iron dome for America. We need to rebuild our industrial base,
Speaker 2: and we need to focus on our chief adversary, which
Speaker 2: is China. That's pretty simple. People understand it. He ran
Speaker 2: on it in a one in an overwhelming way. So
Speaker 2: it's just, you know, it's it's shameful that President are Yeah,
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden on his way out here is again
Speaker 2: creating a more difficult situation. But here's the good news, John,
Speaker 2: and you know this, President Trump is ready. He is ready.
Speaker 2: I've been meeting with these cabinet nominees coming in. He
Speaker 2: has a reform agenda, he is motivated, he won the
Speaker 2: popular vote. He is ready to institute real reform in
Speaker 2: this kind of you know, disruptive versus permanent Washington mantra.
Speaker 2: The American people bought into it, and he's going to deliver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely agree with that. You know how pathetic
Speaker 1: was wink and Tony Blinken when finally, after all of
Speaker 1: this time, and this became an issue during the campaign
Speaker 1: because Kamala Harris would do nothing differently she'd said regarding
Speaker 1: the exit, which was a disaster out of Afghanistan, and
Speaker 1: now acknowledging that they screwed it up and thirteen people
Speaker 1: didn't need to die. Here's what he said.
Speaker 3: Our thoughts are with all of the gold Star families.
Speaker 3: They're with the State Department, any of the employees who
Speaker 3: lost their lives over the course of twenty years, of
Speaker 3: most who are involved in Afghanistan. And I think today,
Speaker 3: especially of the thirteen heroes that we lost at Abbygate,
Speaker 3: and I deeply regret that we did not do more
Speaker 3: and could not do more to protect them. And to
Speaker 3: those families who were here with us today, you're in
Speaker 3: my thoughts, my prayers.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really a little too little, too late for my
Speaker 1: liking your tech.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, it's a shame. I don't understand it.
Speaker 2: I mean, we can have policy disagreements about the direction
Speaker 2: of the country, but acknowledging that mistake and trying to
Speaker 2: make it right with the families. Should have happened a long,
Speaker 2: long time ago. It's probably the same reason, honestly, Sean,
Speaker 2: that they've not acknowledged and acknowledged Lake and Riley and
Speaker 2: a lot of the people who have been victims of
Speaker 2: violent crime because of the fifteen million illegal immigrants that
Speaker 2: have flooded across the border, because they were trying to
Speaker 2: pad their election stats. I mean, this is really shameful behavior.
Speaker 2: And you know, they wouldn't even meet with these folks.
Speaker 2: They would not even meet with these parents and these
Speaker 2: family members.
Speaker 1: And these are Harris Biden, unvetted the illegals murdering, raping,
Speaker 1: committing other violent crimes against Americans. We have known terrorsts
Speaker 1: in the country, gang members, cartel members, and they allowed
Speaker 1: it all to happen. And they can't pick up a
Speaker 1: phone when one of these unvetted illegals that they allowed
Speaker 1: in kills an American number. Once did they pick up.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump picked up the phone. He called Joscelyn Nungary's family,
Speaker 1: he called Rachel Morin's family, he called Lake and Riley's families.
Speaker 1: But there's thousands of other family victims because of this,
Speaker 1: and they kept saying no, the border is secure. The
Speaker 1: border secure, they just lied to us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't believe your line eyes. And I do think
Speaker 2: on day one you're going to see it. You're going
Speaker 2: to see a flurry of executive orders, because we know
Speaker 2: with those executive orders, President Trump had a forty five
Speaker 2: year low and illegal immigration. Biden undid all of them
Speaker 2: with ninety plus executive orders. On day one, President Trump's
Speaker 2: going to come in and we're going to have a
Speaker 2: secure border. No nation in the history of the world
Speaker 2: has done this willingly opened it up to this kind
Speaker 2: of thing. And the Democrats, I think, you know, those
Speaker 2: four years, this sort of woke ideology, this open border's crowd.
Speaker 2: They weren't just writing white papers anymore, Sean. They were
Speaker 2: in charge, and they had these disastrous policies that have
Speaker 2: harmed American And I think President Trump's message of restoring
Speaker 2: American greatness, having a secure border, being energy downin it
Speaker 2: resonated because people love the country, they want us to
Speaker 2: do well. This whole idea of apologizing for America America
Speaker 2: is inherently racist, and all of these things that they've
Speaker 2: been spouting and teaching school kids, the American people rejected
Speaker 2: all of that, so a new day is coming, but
Speaker 2: there's a lot of a lot of destruction and despair
Speaker 2: that's been left in the wake of this current administration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm guessing that you're against taxpayer funded sex change
Speaker 1: operations for illegals and for convicts. I'm just guessing people.
Speaker 2: It is about ninety five percent of Americans. Yes, yes, Yeah.
Speaker 1: That was another genius idea of Kamala Harrison and one
Speaker 1: of the reasons this is so important. You know, I
Speaker 1: look at where we are as a country, and there's
Speaker 1: so much to do and so much to prioritize. I
Speaker 1: may be wrong, but I think what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: And I've been saying it, and I always say it
Speaker 1: the same way. I start with or I end with.
Speaker 1: I pray to God that I'm wrong. Well, with known
Speaker 1: terrorists that they have allowed into the country, I say,
Speaker 1: it's a matter of when. It's not a matter of
Speaker 1: if we are we will be attacked. It will be terrorists,
Speaker 1: a terrorist attack on our homeland. I think it's one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Again, I pray to God, I'm wrong. Am
Speaker 1: I wrong?
Speaker 2: I feel the same way, but I will I will
Speaker 2: point this out. The nine to eleven about ninety percent
Speaker 2: of the difficulty, and those terrorists pulling that off was
Speaker 2: getting here, getting here.
Speaker 1: They're already here, though, Senator No.
Speaker 2: No, no, that's what I'm saying. So the Biden administration
Speaker 2: removed that degree of difficulty altogether. Right, So they just
Speaker 2: let these folks in and we know they're here, and
Speaker 2: then there's people we don't know are here that are
Speaker 2: here who are terrorists. Right, So we just have the
Speaker 2: known folks. There's a lot of folks that are unknown,
Speaker 2: and so I pray it doesn't happen either. But the
Speaker 2: but you know, even Chris Ray, even Chris Rae, who
Speaker 2: repinized that department and lost all credibility, has said he's
Speaker 2: never seen these sort of red flags post nine to eleven,
Speaker 2: and Biden willingly led him in.
Speaker 1: You know, he resigned today, and I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: a wasted opportunity because after James Comy, he could have
Speaker 1: restored the world's premier law enforcement agency to its former greatness,
Speaker 1: and he allowed all of this law breaking to happen.
Speaker 1: You know, he was too busy, you know, investigating and
Speaker 1: having his special agents investigate moms and dads at school
Speaker 1: board meetings and peaceful pro life protesters for crying out
Speaker 1: loud and of course going after anything and everything Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And while he did that, he allowed all of these
Speaker 1: unvetted illegal immigrants to come in. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: beyond negligent. Then he'd go before Congress the last six
Speaker 1: times that I can count that he was there talk
Speaker 1: about the threat has never been this bad ever, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, because you're not enforcing the law regarding
Speaker 1: our borders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to get back to law enforcement. They
Speaker 2: have to restore credibility. They were going after parents under
Speaker 2: the auspices of the Patriot Act literally as home grown
Speaker 2: terrorists they were referring, And meanwhile they're terrorists streaming across
Speaker 2: our border. You know, they're going after Catholics. Really weaponize
Speaker 2: that department. I had a great visit with Pam Bondi
Speaker 2: yesterday in my office. Pambondi is an excellent pick. She'll
Speaker 2: be a great attorney general. You know, I know her
Speaker 2: from State AG world. She's going to be great return
Speaker 2: that you know, doj writ large back to going after
Speaker 2: violent crime and protecting people's constitutional rights, which is what
Speaker 2: it should be doing. Cash Betel is going to do
Speaker 2: the same thing these folks are going to go in there,
Speaker 2: and I think they're going to be disruptors in a
Speaker 2: good way. Root out the corruption, root out the politization
Speaker 2: that's happened, and get it back to where it should be.
Speaker 2: But also, Sean, I think it's worth noting because the
Speaker 2: American people saw it and they rejected this again too.
Speaker 2: Not only did you have the FBI, but you also
Speaker 2: had the number three person at DOJ leave the office
Speaker 2: and go to the New York office. You had the
Speaker 2: number two prosecutor for the Alvin brad prosecution. You had
Speaker 2: the number two prosecutor in Fulton County coordinating at the
Speaker 2: White House. All these cases were dead, None of them
Speaker 2: had any merit. They were all zombie cases. Biden gives
Speaker 2: a speech in November twenty two when clear Trump's going
Speaker 2: to run, and he says, there's no way President Trump
Speaker 2: should ever be in the Oval office. Guess what, all
Speaker 2: these things happen, These zombie cases are resurrected. You have
Speaker 2: the worst, you know, political prosecution in American history. And
Speaker 2: President Trump stood them all down. He stood them all
Speaker 2: down and went into arenas big and small, all across
Speaker 2: this country, thirty thousand people at a time, he made
Speaker 2: the case. He almost took a bullet. I mean he did,
Speaker 2: but he almost died. He'd faced it all down. And
Speaker 2: the American people rewarded that courage and bravery and a vision.
Speaker 2: And I think the next four years are going to
Speaker 2: be glorious.
Speaker 1: I think they could be the most transformation all in history.
Speaker 1: If he just keeps his promises, if he restores law
Speaker 1: and order and gets rid of defund dismantled NOBIL, if
Speaker 1: he secures the voters, if he deports if we can
Speaker 1: find them, the terrorist cartel's gang members, drug dealers, violent criminals,
Speaker 1: if he if he can fix the economy, bring it
Speaker 1: back to its greatness, get interest rates down, make us
Speaker 1: the most energy dominant country on Earth. He's already restoring
Speaker 1: America's stature on the on the world stage. Things have
Speaker 1: changed just because he won. I can only imagine how
Speaker 1: much better they'll get when he gets in office.
Speaker 2: Yep. And he also wants to reform these agencies. The
Speaker 2: administrative state's gotten way too big. It needs structural reform.
Speaker 2: He's going to come in, He's going to change him.
Speaker 2: No presidents ever really wanted to do that, Sean, because
Speaker 2: the executive branch generally speaking, wants to ingrandize their power. Right.
Speaker 2: They and the founders knew that these you know, you
Speaker 2: would try to be jealously guard your authority. They've continued
Speaker 2: to grow it over time. It's too big, it's too
Speaker 2: too unruly. But President Trump has a different incentive structure.
Speaker 2: He's not running again. He wants his legacy to beat
Speaker 2: this kind of reform, and he's getting reformers in these
Speaker 2: key positions who are going to shake things up. And
Speaker 2: then we need that now more than ever.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you, Senator Eric Schmidt, eight hundred ninety four one.

Speaker 1: want to play something for you. What would you like to?
Speaker 1: What do you Why are you always up to something?
Speaker 1: Why can't I just do my show?
Speaker 4: Know?
Speaker 5: The joy of life is surprising you. I think you
Speaker 5: are going too love.
Speaker 1: I don't get a lot. I don't like surprises. I
Speaker 1: don't like this surprise. This is true birth. Oh it's
Speaker 1: true ouh it being true to himself.
Speaker 6: It shouldn't be that way. It wasn't supposed to be
Speaker 6: that way. We were supposed to be on a steady,
Speaker 6: if difficult, sometimes marched towards progress. And yet, just a
Speaker 6: few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second
Speaker 6: time to not elect its first woman president. Everywhere women's
Speaker 6: rights and women's progress is under attack, overtly and subtlely.
Speaker 6: But I want you to know that I am and
Speaker 6: always will be a proud feminist. You will always have
Speaker 6: an ally in me and in my government.
Speaker 1: Whytn't you resign in an appoint a woman.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's got there. Maybe he is a woman
Speaker 5: who knows you know what I mean, although if he
Speaker 5: was a true feminist he would shave his hair.
Speaker 1: Is no bigger fan of the iron Lady, the former
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Great Britain, the late Prime Minister of
Speaker 1: Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher than me, and it it's I
Speaker 1: am no problem electing a woman to be the president
Speaker 1: of our country.
Speaker 5: Well as an anti feminist. I want to let you
Speaker 5: know I'm an anti feminist. I am an anti anything
Speaker 5: based on gender or race. I think it's utter nonsense.
Speaker 1: You're against all identity politics.
Speaker 5: I just feel very strongly that if you cannot, it's
Speaker 5: kind of like those shows and I don't watch them,
Speaker 5: but my kids do, like The Voice or whatever where
Speaker 5: they have like they don't turn the chair around until
Speaker 5: they pick the person. Like if you just go in
Speaker 5: blindly listening to someone, and if you can decide based
Speaker 5: on merit reading about someone or listening to someone, then great,
Speaker 5: that's awesome. But if I have to pick you because
Speaker 5: you check a box and that box has anything to
Speaker 5: do with you know, anything other than the meritocracy of
Speaker 5: getting the job fairly, I want nothing to do with you.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Let me tell you Kamala Harris didn't lose
Speaker 1: because she was a woman. He lost because she is incompetent,
Speaker 1: unqualified for the job, and her radicalism and extremism. That
Speaker 1: enough said, little justin all right, let's get to our
Speaker 1: busy telephones. Let us say hi to Gordon in the
Speaker 1: United Socialist utopia known as California. My our prayers do
Speaker 1: go out to the people in California wildfires again Malibu.
Speaker 1: I know Pepperdine University is being threatened. It's a mess
Speaker 1: out there, and I don't wish that on anybody. I
Speaker 1: lived out there. I went back to Tana Barbara after
Speaker 1: they had had a and I'd lived there five years,
Speaker 1: and I went back and I saw the devastation I
Speaker 1: mean of an entire neighborhood because of one of these wildfires.
Speaker 1: And if you get Santa Ana wins included and it
Speaker 1: got to help you anyway, Gordon, how are you sorry
Speaker 1: about what's going on out there.
Speaker 4: I'm doing well, Sean, thank you for taking McCall. Hello, Linda.
Speaker 4: And I like to say I live in the state
Speaker 4: of Jefferson and knock out California. That's that's kind of
Speaker 4: how we roll out here. So if you don't know
Speaker 4: what state of Jefferson is, uh, I encourage you to
Speaker 4: look that up. You know, one of your callers yesterday
Speaker 4: just really, man, I tell you, just when you think
Speaker 4: we're reaching the lowest of the low in this country
Speaker 4: and then somebody calls in and tries to condone what
Speaker 4: happened to Brian Thompson and my coincious condolences go out
Speaker 4: to Brian Thompson and his family. I mean, it's you know,
Speaker 4: I can't believe I have to say this, but you know,
Speaker 4: you can't have a society where you walk up to
Speaker 4: people on the street and murder them because you don't
Speaker 4: agree with them, or work in industries that you that
Speaker 4: you don't like. You know, I work in adult beverage
Speaker 4: sales out here in in in state of Jefferson or
Speaker 4: or California. I guarantee you I've sold hundreds of thousands
Speaker 4: of cases over my career. I can Unfortunately, I can
Speaker 4: guarantee you that you know, alcohol that I sold into
Speaker 4: an account was consumed and and and probably somebody made
Speaker 4: a bad decision that negatively affected somebody, And I have
Speaker 4: no control over that. What's next, Somebody's gonna roll up
Speaker 4: to me and shoot me on the street. I mean,
Speaker 4: what are we talking about?
Speaker 6: You?
Speaker 4: It just really blew me away.
Speaker 7: The other thing I wanted to to talk to you about.
Speaker 4: Is I think that you know, what happened to Brian
Speaker 4: Thompson is awful, but I think it can shed light
Speaker 4: on how broken our healthcare system is. And there's no
Speaker 4: condoning this at all, But I really hope the incoming administration,
Speaker 4: President Trump, can really look at reforming healthcare. I mean,
Speaker 4: I've been fainted for years. I just don't understand why
Speaker 4: it can't be in the private sector and run more
Speaker 4: like autoly serance. I don't know why it's attached to
Speaker 4: your employment. There's there's no reason for that, right. Competition
Speaker 4: and profit gives you the very best goods and services
Speaker 4: and products you have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, and
Speaker 1: they are. Look, there's very, very legitimate criticism of the
Speaker 1: healthcare and health insurance industry. I think it got dramatically
Speaker 1: worse because of Obamacare, but that's me. There is a
Speaker 1: book that turned into a movie called Raymaker and Anyway.
Speaker 1: It was about John Grisham novel and it was, I mean,
Speaker 1: really captured, how you know, corrupt some insurance companies can be.
Speaker 1: And I know people that have lived through insurance nightmares,
Speaker 1: people that have had that have lived through hurricanes. You know,
Speaker 1: for example, if you have a hurricane and you think
Speaker 1: your house is insured, then the hurricane comes and your
Speaker 1: house gets flooded, then you're told, oh no, no, your hurricane
Speaker 1: insurance only covers wind and or if in the case
Speaker 1: of health insurance, Oh no, no, no, your insurance only
Speaker 1: covers this doctor who's never a available, or you're only
Speaker 1: allowed one test, not the five tests that you need,
Speaker 1: and it frustrates the hell out of people. Now, on
Speaker 1: one side of it, Americans have got to get more
Speaker 1: in tune with what their insurance is offering. They've got
Speaker 1: to look for created alternatives that will provide them the
Speaker 1: care that they need if that God forbid moment comes,
Speaker 1: you have a heart attack, a stroke, you get cancer,
Speaker 1: bad accident. You know, I happen to be a big
Speaker 1: believer in catastrophic care. With those high deductibles, you can
Speaker 1: afford that would take care that you only pay up
Speaker 1: the X number of dollars. But if that bad moment comes,
Speaker 1: you're covered. You know, there's there's also now affordable, relatively affordable.
Speaker 1: It's not cheap, but it's not off the charts expensive.
Speaker 1: You know, for example, if you just want to get
Speaker 1: concierge's care for basic things like a coal the sniffles,
Speaker 1: a broken bone, broken finger, you know, whatever you need, stitches,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you know, you can get that type
Speaker 1: of plan to supplement your care so you don't have
Speaker 1: to wait in a waiting room for four thousand hours.
Speaker 1: There are options now, but most Americans this is their
Speaker 1: big problem. And we've talked about this for years. We
Speaker 1: have our friend doctor Josh down in Wichita, Kansas has
Speaker 1: been on this program all the time and he has
Speaker 1: for fifty dollars a month unlimited visits to his practice
Speaker 1: with his partners per adult and I think it's at
Speaker 1: the time it was ten dollars for children. They've duplicated
Speaker 1: this concierge service all around the country, which makes it
Speaker 1: affordable for any American in a town or a city
Speaker 1: like Wichita. And I don't know if they could duplicate
Speaker 1: that in a big city. I would imagine they probably
Speaker 1: could if they wanted to. And so there are alternatives.
Speaker 1: And then if you let's say you have high blood
Speaker 1: pressure or you have a high cholester levels, you'll leave
Speaker 1: his office that day with the medicines because he negotiates
Speaker 1: directly with pharmaceutical companies and you get it for penny
Speaker 1: on the dollars. Penny's on the dollar. So there are alternatives.
Speaker 1: We have discussed them for years, medical savings accounts, things
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, we got locked into Obamacare
Speaker 1: and it screwed everything up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the dumpster fire that is Obamacare is clearly the
Speaker 4: problem here. I just feel that when you put things
Speaker 4: in the free market, let the free market figure it out.
Speaker 7: You get a fender.
Speaker 4: Bender, you get you file a claim, You pick your
Speaker 4: body shop. Why can't I file a claim, pick my
Speaker 4: retail hospital, and go and go handle my my situation.
Speaker 4: I just I just think that the system is broken.
Speaker 4: Like you said, I love the model that you described,
Speaker 4: and that sounds great. I just I just feel like
Speaker 4: we could have such an amazing, you know, number one
Speaker 4: healthcare system in the world because the government has to
Speaker 4: get out of the way. Yeah, reasonable regulation, I get that.
Speaker 4: Like everything the ABC regulates my industry, right, reasonable regulation.
Speaker 4: But let's of free markets. The best goods and services
Speaker 4: come from the free markets.
Speaker 1: Listen, this is a great we can jumpstart this conversation
Speaker 1: into the failures of the insurance industry. It's an issue
Speaker 1: that people in Florida are dealing with because of hurricanes,
Speaker 1: et cetera. It's a big, big issue, and that's home insurance.
Speaker 1: Then you have the high cost of car insurance. I mean,
Speaker 1: life is expensive and everything's gotten way more expensive under
Speaker 1: Harris and Biden. But we do need to bifurcate this
Speaker 1: conversation off of the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO.
Speaker 1: You don't justify assassination by saying, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: understand why people are frustrated, because then you're making excuses
Speaker 1: for assassination anyway, Gordon, appreciate it. Man, Thanks for the call.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one. Sean, if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Sewn in Texas
Speaker 1: works in the healthcare industry. Sean, how are you.
Speaker 7: I'm fairly good. Thank you, we're taking my call. One
Speaker 7: of the things I'm calling about is the misconception that
Speaker 7: everybody has with the insurance industry. They think that, you know,
Speaker 7: somebody sitting behind the desk saying, oh, I'm going to
Speaker 7: decline John. You know he can't have that procedure today.
Speaker 7: When it's the plan. You said it exactly right, just
Speaker 7: a minute ago. It is the plan that the employer.
Speaker 7: Let's say you work for somebody, it's the plan that
Speaker 7: they pick. Okay, it's it's the states. The states pick
Speaker 7: a plan, and then then.
Speaker 1: The states pick a plan, the employers pick a plan,
Speaker 1: and then what people don't do is they don't find
Speaker 1: out the details in the plan until it's too.
Speaker 7: Late exactly, and they don't want But yet they blame
Speaker 7: the insurance company. You know, they're blaming the person because.
Speaker 1: Well they do make it frustrating as hell. There's no
Speaker 1: you cannot dispute that.
Speaker 7: Agree. I absolutely agree. I mean, especially for elder people.
Speaker 7: My mom's going through it. It's it's ridiculous with what
Speaker 7: they have to go through. But at the same time,
Speaker 7: it's it's, you know, to celebrate a murderer, I mean,
Speaker 7: people want to marry him. I mean, this is this
Speaker 7: guy murdered somebody allectively murdered, somebody, a CEO that has children,
Speaker 7: and they want to celebrate him. I mean, that's what
Speaker 7: our country has come to.
Speaker 1: It is very The problem for many Americans is there's
Speaker 1: only one Obamacare exchange option for a big part of
Speaker 1: the country. That's a big problem. The cost of health
Speaker 1: insurance and home insurance and car insurance a skyrocketed, especially
Speaker 1: the last four years, so that's a problem, and inflation
Speaker 1: has taken away a lot of disposable income. Though at
Speaker 1: some point, you know, you got to prioritize food or
Speaker 1: more health insurance. You're probably not going to have the
Speaker 1: health insurance. I went for years of my early adult
Speaker 1: life with no health insurance. I didn't find out till
Speaker 1: years later that my father took out a plan for me.
Speaker 1: Didn't tell me about it. After I'd fallen off a
Speaker 1: roof and busted up my face and and you know,
Speaker 1: broke my arm and dislocated my arm. I didn't any
Speaker 1: He told me years later. He goes, I got your
Speaker 1: health care plan after the accident. I said, really, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know you had done it. And I thought
Speaker 1: it was really nice of him to do that, and
Speaker 1: and he couldn't afford it. Look, there there are other options,
Speaker 1: but you need to know what your plan covers. Does
Speaker 1: it Does it give you the level of care you want?
Speaker 1: And then you have to factor and if you can
Speaker 1: afford it. I couldn't afford health insurance at that point
Speaker 1: in my life. I just couldn't. I was barely making
Speaker 1: ends meet. I could barely pay my rent. I was
Speaker 1: driving a you know, a two hundred dollars van for
Speaker 1: a number of those years, my work van, which is
Speaker 1: the best two hundred bucks I ever spent my life.
Speaker 1: All Right, that's going to wrap things up for Today
