Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Well, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song We'll all be tired.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
I'm being indicted for you.
And I believe the you is more than 200 million people that love our country.
They're out there.
The Hunter Biden story, the scandal, the this, the that.
It's also the story of a father's love.
I was just thinking, uh anyway.
I started off without you.
And I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things too.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we have come in.
To your city.
Don't play out gentles and saying you will conscious song.
Sean Hennedy.
New Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Good afternoon, everybody!
Job Kotcha, not Mad Dog Russo, in for the great Sean Hannity, taking a well-deserved day off.
Guy almost never takes off.
I've never seen anything like it.
But good for him.
Fourth of July.
There may or may not be a hangover that is happening right now.
Not with him, with me.
I I almost never drink these days, Linda.
It's amazing, you know.
But uh they had Peroni next door.
And how am I gonna pass that up on a nice Fourth of July night when half my neighbors apparently also own a cadre of you know, basically more ammunition than the Ukrainian army at this point going all over the skies of Wyckoff, New Jersey.
So uh yeah, I'm dragging a little bit today, hence why I asked for some coffee.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
I don't have those Ukrainian neighbors that you have, clearly.
Yes.
We did have some.
We had some fireworks that were going off.
I had a neighbor two houses down that let off like a sprinkle, and that was it, and we were done.
Which I I think our neighborhood is a very dog-friendly neighborhood.
I think everybody was a little bit more sensitive to that, not to spoil the fun, but they do freak out, so my Westie completely freaked out, shaking, right?
So we put him down in the basement.
I got these soundboards for when I do radio from home, which basically drown out noise.
Oh smart.
And then we put on the Westminster dog show that we happen to have in the DVR and and cranked it, and that worked.
He could not get it.
You knew your audience, huh?
Yes, exactly.
You just see him in the crate, like in his head's going back and forth, and he can't hear the fireworks anymore.
I mean, we had it like at a up at a hundred.
I mean, a deaf man uh, you know, couldn't hear it at that point, but yeah.
Pretty funny.
Yeah, it was it was it was good stuff.
Anyway, uh, so something was found in the White House, apparently.
I didn't hear anything about it.
Yeah, not not classified documents or anything.
We have a theme song for I'm sure for for the somewhere, and then we'll be able to fill in the blank as far as what was found at the White House on Sunday by the Secret Service, I wonder.
I think it's Eric Clapton.
Yes.
Ah the name of the song is on the tip of my tongue.
Take her out, cocaine.
There's your answer, ladies and gentlemen.
I mean you are now is anybody surprised.
And not just any cocaine.
Cocaine in a sandwich baggy, like old school dime bag ghetto on the corner cocaine.
Is that a bad thing?
You're not supposed to handle that like.
That's how they talked about it today.
Really?
I, you know, our word on the street, I'm just repeating.
Okay.
I don't have first hand knowledge of what this experience would be like.
I was about to say, you sounded like an expert there for a moment.
I was like, I'm a little bit anti-drug.
I get a little hyped up, you know.
I'm very anti-drug.
Minus Peroni.
Peroni's fine.
That's not a drug.
It's perfectly legal.
Nah, I I remember I I used to have these uh they're called uh these migraine headaches.
They were called the suicide headache though, right?
There was like a special kind of migraine that literally would drive you to suicide.
So then they gave me like these painkillers for it, and I I would rather live with a headache than the withdrawal from the painkiller type of thing.
You know, so that stuff is no joke.
I'm very sorry.
That's cluster migraines.
That's what I'm thinking of.
My dad had those cluster headaches.
Really?
It's like one in every 100,000 people has them.
Are you serious?
My father has been written up in newspapers about them.
Yeah.
I thought the odds were a lot higher.
And they're triggered by the weirdest things like someone cuts their grass.
Oh, right.
A blade of grass will trigger it off, and you'll have it for days.
it makes a migraine look like a walk in the park.
You go to the hospital and you get oxygen, and apparently that was what solved it for me.
Fortunately, there was one one block for me in Hoboka, New Jersey.
So uh I visited there quite often.
Yeah, it was horrible.
It was horrible.
But back to this cocaine thing in the White House.
Apparently, you know, if you bring up the fact that maybe this belonged to Hunter Biden, if you watch the cable news reaction in social media, it's like, you can't say that.
He's a recovering addict.
How do you know it was him?
Well, I don't know.
I'm not in law enforcement anyway, shape, or form, right?
But I played clue enough.
And I I know my first suspect is gonna be the former addict.
I mean, come on.
It's so crazy, dude.
Like, I I really Sean and I talked about this a couple weeks ago, and we're like, common sense is completely gone.
Like, there's no more you can no longer say what is the most obvious thing.
You can, right?
You're not allowed.
You can't say, oh, so the guy who has videos upon videos and pictures upon pictures with pardon me if you're in the car with your kids, but hookers and drugs and all the things.
Suddenly, if we found hookers and drugs in a nearby location to Hunter Biden, he would not be our first suspect.
Like, I don't I don't get it.
Precisely.
It's just I don't know.
And here's the thing, all right?
And we're gonna talk to Paul Morrow uh later in the show.
Uh he's this rare combination of former detective and also a former lawyer.
So he could give you every angle on this.
And I was on Fox before with Bill Hemmer, and I I talked to him in the green room, and he made a great point that look, if this was found in a public area, it's the White House.
You'll never guess what they have everywhere.
Cameras.
So we should know in a big hurry who this belonged to, and uh, that should be the end of it.
But of course, I just watched cringe John Pierre during the uh press briefing, and of course, he just referred to, well, you know, I have to defer to the Secret Service, defer to the Secret Service, so I guess we're not going to get any answers from them anytime soon, but I want video.
I want to see it.
Who dropped that on the floor?
I have no doubt that that video is lying in a wastebasket right next to the video that we can't find of Epstein the night he was murdered.
Oh, wait, I'm seeing a report.
Suicide, right, of course.
Suicide murder.
It's really the cameras just happened to go out that exact moment.
In all surrounding areas.
I'm like, okay.
Are you amazed that no one I mean, there was talk about it like afterwards, but everybody just kind of let it go.
You know what the problem is?
We were Ethan and I were talking about this, and I'm sure you were talking about this too.
The Sound of Freedom, the movie that came out over the weekend, and everybody was talking about this movie because it's privately funded.
It's all about saving children and child trafficking, and it is now the number one movie in the country, making over 10 million this weekend.
Wow.
They gave away tickets just to get people because the United States is the second largest country to be a consumer of sexually exploited children in the world.
So United States of America.
Wow.
When's AOC running to the border to go in all white, by the way?
Right after she gets rid of your gas stove, she's going to get right on that child trafficking.
She's in a big hurry.
She is such an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I don't use that word very often, but uh this week I I couldn't believe it.
And uh I wrote about it for the messenger.com, by the way, the messenger.com.
Please do visit uh my column that's on there because we talk about the constitution, which Sean talks about a lot on this show.
And there's not a lot that you really have to know as far as how laws get passed, right?
Or how money is spent, your taxpayer dollars.
And I explained this to my nine-year-old uh on the way to camp, actually today, uh, because she says, Oh, Daddy, what'd you write about?
Which is nice that she had an interest in that.
And I said, Well, it's kind of complicated.
She goes, I'm smart, I'll uh you can explain it to me.
I said, All right, well, the president's not a king, and in this particular country, you can't just decree that billions upon billions, we're talking hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debts, can be eliminated by a stroke of a pen by one person.
There it's got to be done through Congress.
They decide how money is spent, and if they can pass it by having a majority in that particular section of government, then it goes to the Senate, and they basically then craft it a little bit more.
And if it can pass there, then it goes to the president, and the president signs it into law.
So this way, everybody has a seat at the table, and everybody being voters because voters vote in Congressman and Senate, and therefore we don't have Saddam Hussein running this country saying, okay, I hereby declare that 500 billion dollars in student loans is eliminated, and that's the end of it, because that's not a functioning democracy anymore.
And she totally got it, Right?
Three layers.
That's it.
So Joe Biden, knowing, knowing, even at his age, don't give me the age thing, all right?
Or the whoever's controlling him, last year before a major election says that I am going to forgive all these student loans, right?
And oh, by the way, 50% of the loans go to people with graduate degrees and with advanced degrees.
Guess who those folks are?
Doctors and lawyers.
Guess what they can do?
They can pay back the friggin' loan because they can afford it.
All right.
So why are we helping the elites out when we don't help out the waitress who has two kids and has to work at three different restaurants to afford it?
Where's her bailout?
And maybe she didn't go to college, because you know why?
35% of people in this country have a bachelor's degree, meaning 65% don't.
Something like 12% have an advanced degree.
So again, why are we helping these people?
Oh, for votes, of course.
So of course, the 2022 midterms, there's no red tsunami, which this guy may or may not have predicted on Fox News would happen.
And instead we barely take back the Congress.
We being Republicans and they Democrats end up keeping the Senate.
They actually gain a seat in the Senate, and uh overall it's seen as somewhat of a victory for Joe Biden.
So it kind of worked, maybe, because a lot of young people came out and voted in the midterms, because if you told me, hey, you owe 40,000 dollars, but ah, it's gonna go away, vote for me.
If I'm 22 years old, I might take you up on that offer, right?
So then finally it gets to the Supreme Court, and they rule exactly as they should have, which it's it's uncomfortable.
Supreme Court was acting authoritarian, and that the Supreme Court was bypassing Congress.
No, not the Supreme Court, ma'am.
It was the president that was bypassing you.
And she was saying, no, we should still be able to forgive student loans without Congress.
So basically she's saying, you know what?
My job should be irrelevant.
Dismiss me, don't worry about me.
You just do what you gotta do because morally it's the right thing to do.
Oh my God.
And it wasn't just her, Rokana.
Rokana, he's supposed to be somewhat the reasonable one, because he's kind of from a red ish district in California, or at least a moderate one.
And when I've seen him on Fox, at least I'm like, well, he's kind of like a Harold Ford Jr.
Like he's I I think I see some reason there, one of the few Democrats I see that with, and even he's saying the same thing.
Then obviously Biden's advocating it as well.
So look, all these rulings just make sense from a constitutional perspective.
And boy, what a one, two, three haymaker that that we saw last week.
I mean, Linda, I I don't remember ever a Supreme Court handing down such monumental decisions in the span of one week, the way it hit the liberal establishment affirmative action.
Then we had the the cake maker doesn't have to make cakes for those uh who may be LGBTQ I plus.
Uh have they added any letters or or or symbols uh since uh we left.
I'll tell you what, brother, I cannot keep up.
They can add all the letters they want.
I'm never paying attention.
All right, thank you for that.
I appreciate it.
Uh but anyway, uh, so yeah, but based on religious grounds, he doesn't have to make that cake if he doesn't want to, because it's his business, and it's the first amendment right of him to be able to say, I won't do it because my religion says I shouldn't.
And then obviously what we just talked about with student loans.
One, two, three, and then you have the Dobbs decision last year, obviously monumental as well, which again, that makes sense to me.
It should go back to individual states.
If it goes back to states, then voters have a say in it because they choose the Congress people and the Senate that will ultimately decide in their state whether abortion should be illegal or not legal.
Makes sense to me.
It shouldn't be done in the federal level, where seven people, nine people in robes say no, this is how it should go.
Now, meanwhile, imagine I remember Barack Obama once said that elections have consequences, right?
And boy, what a what a stinging rebuke of Republicans.
Yeah, you know what?
He's right.
And sure enough, they do have consequences because picture 2016 going the way everybody thought it would, which is Donald Trump does not win.
And Hillary Clinton does win.
Now, fast forward to the Supreme Court.
Then Hillary gets to appoint three justices.
You have a three to six conservative to liberal court, and all the decisions that you just heard about last week don't do not happen.
They go the exact opposite direction.
So that's why Donald Trump's victory.
I think if you're Trump right now, you make this the first and last part of every speech that you do.
And I know he'll never say this, but it would be nice if you just said something along the lines of look, I'm not trying to win a popularity contest.
You don't have to like me personally.
But at the same time, if you like these decisions, thank you.
Uh I'll explain what just happened.
Lindy was saying I gotta get closest to Mike, and I did, and now it's gonna be very subtly.
You did, yeah.
It's like pointing wildly.
And there may have been like an F bomb thrown in there, too.
Like you've done this before, Joe, right?
The big black thing in front of you.
Yeah, right, exactly.
It's intern day here in the Sean Hannity show.
Thank you.
Anyway, I've lost my train of thought.
What was I talking about?
Wait, but can we play?
I want to play this piece of audio that we have of Pelosi supporting your education claim.
Thank you.
People think that the president of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness.
He does not.
He can postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power.
That would has to be an act of Congress.
And it's so delicious.
The difference between the president doing president can't do it.
So that's not even a discussion.
Not everybody realizes that.
But the president can only postpone delay, but not forgive.
Precisely, Miss Former House Speaker.
And the funny thing is the majority opinion included that exact quote in it.
So how are you going to argue against that?
And Joe Biden also said it was March of 2021 that he didn't think he had the authority either.
So what are we talking about here, right?
But back to Trump.
All he has to say is something like, all right, you don't even have to like me personally if you're on the fence about me.
Whatever.
But if you like these decisions and you want more Supreme Court justices that are conservative, vote for me.
Right?
And it that's what he did in 2016.
Remember, he put out the list.
He's like, here's who I would nominate if you support me.
And then suddenly some you want to call them conservatives, I don't know what you want to call them, but people that were iffy about Trump were suddenly, you know, he makes a good point.
That the alternative is much worse.
And I'll leave you with this, okay?
Because I think we have to go to break pretty soon.
New York Times does a focus group with 10 Biden voters.
And they ask these voters, do you think Biden's a strong leader?
They all answer no.
Do you think he should run again in 2024?
They all answer no.
Are you comfortable with him being in the Oval Office until he's 86?
All of them answer emphatically no.
Who are you voting for in 2024?
Joe Biden.
You just said you don't want him to run.
You don't think he's strong.
They then they ask why.
Because the alternative is worse.
Right?
So that's where we're at at this point.
We don't vote for people anymore.
Everybody gets them, at least if you're a Democrat, right?
Joe Conchain for Sean Hannity.
Tommy Lair coming up pretty soon.
We got great guests here.
Uh Governor Mike Huckabee, the aforementioned Paul Morrow, retired MYPD inspector, gonna talk cocaine.
Back with more in just a moment.
Or is that summer has gone.
It's that kind of day out.
It's a Don Henley tequila sunrise, boys of summer kind of day.
Uh a little little quick story that I'm sure you'll be so interested in.
So you would think the day after a national holiday, that a city like New York would be fairly empty, because uh most of my friends just took off the rest of the week, right?
Linda didn't get the takeoff.
I didn't get the takeoff, but most of them did.
So I'm like, all right, they they won me on with Hemmer at like 1.30.
So a car picks me up from my house, where again, if you go to a hill one block from me, you can see the city from my house.
So it's 19 miles away, right?
So you would think on a day like this at noon, mind you, not even rush hour, that I could get here probably in a little over a half hour.
Oh no.
So we're there.
It takes an hour to get through the tunnel, and I get out of the tunnel, and then suddenly it tells me it's gonna take me 28 minutes to go seven blocks to Fox News.
I got physically impossible.
Jell O can move faster.
So I got out and I had to jog.
I show up all sweaty.
It was horrible.
Anyway, Joe Conchin for Sean Hannity.
800 941 7326.
That is your phone number.
Back with your calls in the moment.
Watch out, boys.
Continuing to build the foundation for conservative victory.
Victory.
Now back to the Sean Hannity show.
I want to go on the record.
How many stations you guys on these days?
600 million?
730 stations?
I won't screw up, Linda.
Thank you for the advice.
Really appreciate it.
Uh I'm going on the record now, saying I did not choose that music to come in with a mine hall notes of man eater?
Come on.
Into my interview with the great Carol Roth.
Are you implying that Carol Roth is a man eater?
She's a happily married woman, I think, Carol, right?
I mean, uh all is well for you on the uh domestic front.
It is absolute bliss, Joe.
We've been together at this point about uh 26 years now.
So um I am I am far from a man eater, but I am a Hollow Notes fan, and I can go for that.
Oh, wow.
That wasn't even rehearsed or anything.
That's impressive.
It probably I'm doing the math.
Twenty-six years.
So you got married at 13?
I mean, isn't that kind of frowned upon in this society?
You're 39, right?
I I I love you.
Your check is in the mail.
That's good.
I take Venmo, Zell, PayPal, Wire Transfer, Western Union, you name it.
Uh that that's fine.
But uh anyway, let's talk about your new book.
You will own nothing and like it.
Your war with a new financial world order by people over Harper Collins, who both have the same publisher, don't you know?
And they tell me that pre-orders are excellent for this book that comes out on July 18th.
So tell us why do you think people are so compelled to read this book?
What is the new financial world order?
I know it sounds very conspiratorial, right?
A new world order.
It couldn't possibly be something that happens.
But the pull position of the financial order really changes um, you know, but century by century.
I mean, we've been in the pole position for about eighty years, but before us it was Britain, and before Britain it was the Dutch, and it's really far from a conspiracy.
You can go on the White House's website right now and you can look at March twenty-one, twenty twenty-two, Joe Biden's speech to the business round table, which is packed with the CEOs of all the major corporations, and he lays it out there.
He says that things shift every three to four generations and there's going to be a a new world order out there and we've got to lead it.
So, you know, they they are saying the quiet part aloud, and we think lots of things about Joe Biden, but him being a conspiracy theorist is probably not one of them.
So, you know, as these financial stakes change, Joe, like what do you think the elite are going to do?
Do you think they're going to sit back and just hope that they come out on top and that you know things work out for them?
Or do you think they're going to jockey to put themselves into position to c control every finite resource?
And uh I'll I'll let you guess.
Which which of those two things do you think is going to happen?
Yes.
Yeah.
I you know, as a as a non-betting woman, but somebody who's a recovering investment banker, um, I would say that that is the case, and that's why when you see a group like the World Economic Forum that is littered with the business and global elite making predictions for 2030, and their top number one prediction is you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, uh, there's a an underscore there.
And so I go through all kinds of things that are happening, both internal to our country with the crazy debt, um, the Federal Reserve, the government spending, but also central bank digital currencies, ESG, why Wall Street is competing with you to own a home, why millennials are struggling to to build wealth even though they're making more money on an inflation adjusted basis than the boomers or Gen X to be before them.
And it all circles back to this prediction of you will own nothing.
So you know me, I'm I'm an advocate for the little guy.
I want you to own everything.
So it's why everybody needs to empower themselves with this knowledge and get the plan to fight back.
Can I ask you a question?
We're talking to Carol Roth, obviously, the author of You Will Own Nothing, Your War with the New Financial World Order, buy it wherever you buy books.
Uh Amazon, I think would be a decent start there, right?
And uh you could have it.
Uh the day comes out on on July 18th.
I I hear all the time on cable news, and it doesn't really matter what what station it is, that when people are arguing about the dangers of debt in general, they always say, and we're passing this on to our children and grandchildren.
But it seems like we've been talking about it for years and years, and at some point I would think the check comes due, but it keeps not coming due.
Will it ever come due at some point?
Of course.
You know, you there for every action, you know, there is consequences, and we can start to see um you know the the consequences of the actions that came out of all of this zero interest rate policy and the COVID decisions, you know, when everyone wanted their Donnie dollars and their Biden bucks and said I I need my stimulus check, and they got, you know, a grand or twelve hundred dollars.
There were people like me and you having these conversations, and we I think we had them with Sean saying, no, don't do this.
Don't don't don't take that money because you're going to pay extra thousands of dollars for the rest of your life once it the inflation hits, and that's you know what's happened.
So we are seeing the bill already coming due, you know, quite literally, because the purchasing power of the dollar has been eroded, and and people know that when they go to the grocery store where they try to pay their their rent or whatever it is.
Um so certainly that's coming due.
But there at some point where we get to that point of no return, and given the level of debt to GDP we have, just on a public basis, not not any sort of intergovernmental shenanigans, but that's a hundred and twenty-five percent of GDP we have in debt.
If you look at you know the IMF, the Treasury people who uh make predictions about you know what's kind of the the level at where this turns, it's usually somewhere around 80%.
So it's pretty clear that we are on this fiscal runaway train and that if we don't do something it's going to go off the tracks.
Unfortunately in finance the one thing we never know is duration.
You have to ask any short seller.
You can be right about a stock but if you don't know the timing things you know can really crush you in the meantime.
So we don't know the timing we just can see the trajectory.
So we want to do what we can to change the trajectory if we can, if not delay it for as long as possible and at a minimum set people up in their own financial lives to be able to manage through these periods of chaos and to do everything they can to put themselves and their families and their communities in the best position you know to not get completely wiped out as as things shift.
And we're talking to Carol Roth.
So I'm a husband and a dad of two.
What advice would you give me to avoid what you just described?
Where should my money go?
Well, you know, obviously giving out financial advice is something that they frown upon on a personal basis.
But, you know, just thinking about things on sort of a holistic basis, one thing you can do as a dad of kids is really look at some good financial planning because it's possible.
I can't guarantee it.
But as they change estate planning laws and wealth taxes and inheritances, often there is some grandfathering in of the people who have already made those plans.
Usually that's because the very wealthy and the well-connected are the ones who can afford to do that or at least think to do that, right?
But one of the staggering things that I found researching You Will Own Nothing is that there's almost $85 trillion that is set to turn over voluntarily the...
via inheritances in the next 23 years.
So when you see things like oh we want a wealth tax or oh we want an inheritance tax but we're only going after the billionaires it's not because they want the billionaires money it's because they want your money.
So one of the things we can do is we can stand up and do everything we can to try to fight back against that.
But also things like there are gifting limits you can start gifting money to your children if you have that that ability I think the limit for this year is somewhere around 17,000 dollars that you can gift without tax consequences to start getting money outside of these issues and I have a wonderful um estate planner who's quoted in the book who gives some some more specific advice around that but you know that's just one thing.
There's a a different set of things that you need to be doing for central bank digital currencies and other behavioral changes so really it is is meant to give you that roadmap.
And we're talking to the author of you will own nothing your war with a new financial world order.
You talk about timing before Carol as far as like it's hard to predict duration for example.
But a lot of predictions that we've seen going into this year from top CEOs and and people that are experts in this sort of thing say that we would be in a recession this year and it doesn't appear that that's happening yet.
So I I have we had the soft landing that the Fed was hoping for or is that down the road from from your perspective maybe early 2024 where we actually are in how you define a recession which is two straight quarters of negative growth.
That's very good Joe very proud of you for knowing that I think at this point you know the recession could be just late to the party I don't think that we can say we've had a soft landing yet we're very much in in early innings.
One of the things that has kept us out of recessionary territory is government spending we know that the government is a you know a significant contributor to that GDP calculation and obviously they have done nothing to take the Fed's cue and say hey you need to be pairing back spending we're trying to to slow demand and the government said no forget it we're just gonna keep spending like you know crazy people.
that's been part of the issue.
The other issue is this crazy supply-demand mismatch that we have in our labor force, which existed a little bit before COVID, but was certainly just, you know, put on its head through some of the decisions that were made around that COVID insanity, and then certainly, you know, added on to in the Biden administration.
And so because we have so few people who are in the workforce versus how many jobs are available, when people feel like, okay, well I have a job and I can find a job they're willing to spend what we are seeing though we might not be seeing like a GDP recession but we're starting to see the signs of personal recession which means people are taking a hit on their personal balance sheets which is the opposite of what we want them to be doing, right?
So they're putting they're loading up on credit card debt.
We have record credit card debt and they're dipping into their savings.
That's not what we want to see happen.
We don't want people to have to spend to live as you know cause of an inflation in some of these policies.
We want people to be making the investments in hard assets so they have ownership because ownership is the key to wealth.
You need those assets that can at least retain their value or appreciate in value.
So I think the likelihood we're definitely see the personal recessions whether we have a a technical recession or we just have what's called stagflation which is a stagnating economy.
Maybe it grows just a tiny little bit but we still have elevated inflation it's not a good outcome for you know the the working class and and the middle class here in America either way but of course because everybody's focused on the label, you know it's gonna be very exciting if that doesn't happen.
But it you it we still have to focus on the fact that the inflation that we've seen over the last couple of years is a permanent tax on Americans and it you it doesn't create a good scenario either way.
Yeah either way Carol Roth it doesn't matter how you define it per se it's what people are feeling at home.
And right now wages still aren't keeping up with inflation.
And and you hear the administration you corrected me on this by the way right I used to say that you know when the Biden administration would say wow we've bought inflation way down well way down from what?
Way down from nine percent it was one point three percent when Trump left office, right?
So when you say wow it's gone down from nine to seven percent I had the wrong analogy where I said hey honey I gained sixty pounds but now I've lost six pounds back.
Look at all the weight I'm losing and you corrected me you said no no no that that's not that's not exactly right.
You're still gaining weight you're just not gaining as much as fast.
So right you're you gained sixty pounds last year.
You only gained six this year.
Your rate of gaining weight has slowed and and that's and that's the challenge with inflation you're not actually losing the weight you're not actually um you're getting back to a a position where you were better off than where you were before and that's backwards.
That's not the American dream.
That's not the promise that we want for everybody to participate in in this country.
I just got back from a cruise by the way and uh speaking of losing weight, yeah that didn't happen.
Because I had to have dinners it was kind of a working uh vacation with the media research center so they had so many nice people and you had uh dinner with a different group of people from the media research center cruise the the members that signed up so to speak and we'd have to have dinner though at 8 30 at night.
So by the time we were done it was like 10 30.
Then they'd bring out that cream boulet and now that's why I look like the Stanley Cup right now, you know kind of fit on top and it just kicked it out.
So that's not good.
Joe Conscious second trimester.
Congratulations Joe Hey let's end it on a fun note shall we?
I'm gonna play with you.
Yes if I ever get my own show uh I'm always going to end the show with a game of would you rather which I've stumbled upon playing with my kids when we're trying to kill time like in airports for example, right?
And it's really good stuff because the answers can be can be great.
So we'll go through this quickly lightning round.
Uh would you rather Carol have a completely automated home or a self-driving car.
Um neither I I don't trust technology and I am worried about both my home and my cart attacking me.
So I'm gonna be the the fuddy duddy the Ludite who who uses the old school technology because trust nobody and and don't trust the robots because they're gonna come kill you.
That's the thing I can never get in the self-driving car and I know every stat in the world, every study says it's safer than if I drive or if even I have a driver or a bus driver, whatever it doesn't matter.
One little glitch and I'm done.
Right?
So here's another one.
Would you rather Carol Roth never be stuck in traffic again or never get another cold never get another cold.
Really?
I hate traffic I'll I'll endure colds, no problem.
You don't know New York well you know we can make use of your time in traffic, right?
You can you can you can make a phone call, you can sing, you can use it as downtime to think, but not getting a cold again.
That's pretty amazing.
Oh but to be fair, I don't really I don't really use my car very much.
I have a car that I bought in 2004.
No, 2003 was a 2004.
So 20 plus years ago, and it's still got like 40,000 miles on it.
Wow.
Maybe that inf that maybe that influenced it.
And that's this is why I own things, because I understand a car is a depreciating asset.
My car uh has uh just to hit its 190,000 mile anniversary, so accurate.
2007.
Yeah, good stuff.
Anyway, we gotta go.
I'm so sorry.
Up against a heartbreak.
You will own nothing.
Your war with the new financial world order.
