Speaker 1 (00:01):
Socialist countries are held down by a gravity of their
own making.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
And America is something like a rocket shooting to the stars.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
We're all individuals. We resist the effort to group us.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We're all different.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
There are no two things or people in this world
who are created in a way that they end up
with equal outcomes.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's up to them.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
The only place where money meets politics. Tonight, we renew
our resolve.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
That America will never be a socialist country.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
You're listening to the Financial Guys.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
All right, welcome back, everybody. Financial Guys here. Fourth day
in a row. Great to be on.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
Getting our rhythm going here. It's fun to do a
lot of radio. Of course, we're running out of topics,
so to be honest.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I know.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
We've got nothing for today. I've always said it's so hard.
If you did radio every day. People don't realize the
grind because it's, all right, well, what are we talking about?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
What are we doing today?

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Now, there's some folks that get to a bit, and
this is to take nothing away from them, one of
the greatest, if not the greatest ever, Rush Limbaugh. But
you've got a whole team of people prepping stuff for you.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
You know what I mean? We're running another company. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
And a whole liberal political class that gave him plenty
of content.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, it's hard when you have an actual day job.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
So if you're doing a J job, you've got stuff
going on Monday through Friday, and, of course, your family
and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, we're trying to grab articles from here and there
and everywhere. Add this in.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
So this will be a little bit of a hodgepodge today.

Speaker 6 (01:32):
Great.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I want to just give a shout-out to Ann.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Thank her again for a great event this past week,
our client appreciation event, which was absolutely terrific.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Despite the haze. Despite the haze, yeah. Always fun to see.
Thank you, Canada, for the wildfire.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Thanks for, how's that net zero going up there? Pretty good.
It was. We changed the theme of the client.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Usually people are a little bit dressed up and stuff,
but we said bring your pajamas and your..

Speaker 6 (02:22):
The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued a tornado
warning for northeastern Ontario County until 1.45 p.m. At 1.05 p.m.,
a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located
near Canandaigua, moving east at 35 miles per hour.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Hazard, tornado.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Source, radar indicated rotation. Impact, flying debris will be dangerous
to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged
or destroyed. Damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur.
Tree damage is likely. Locations impacted include Geneva, Canandaigua, Clifton Springs, Phelps, Bloomfield, Farmington, Gorham,

(03:05):
East Bloomfield, Manchester, and Shortsville. This includes Interstate 90 between
exits 43 and 44.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Take cover now.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Move to a basement or an interior room on the
lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If you
are outdoors, in a mobile home or in a vehicle,
move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from
flying debris.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
All the algae and the garbage out of it. Exactly.
So same basic concept, right?

Speaker 5 (03:40):
So in California, they're changing the law because, of course,
they want to make sure that they set the salaries
for people in California.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
The communist California is not enough to fix pricing and
gas prices, taxes. They're actually going to set salaries now
as well, right?

Speaker 7 (03:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
You have to actually apply to close down your business
in places like San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I've got no more money left. You've taken everything. It's
like Goodfellas when they finally burn the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Nope, can't leave.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Nope, sorry.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
Sorry.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
So in California, this is what they're working on, right?
Mind you, they've got rampant homelessness, skyrocketing energy prices, all
kinds of issues out there, including wildfires.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
And this is the program. The heroin needle's everywhere. Yeah,
this is their deal.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Much more than just a farm animal, in California, goats
have become a firefighter's best friend. The 1,000 or so
goats of Green Goat Landscapers are tasked with clearing fire fuel,
a critical.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Piece of the state's defense against wildfires. We really provide
a needed service, and it benefits all of California.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Goats go where people and machines can't go, and that
really reduces that risk of wildfire.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
But that risk may soon intend It takes our wages
from $ 64, 000 up to $ 240, 000 a year.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Think about that. Think about that. The state is saying, okay, $ 64, 000,
we can afford a goat herder per year. Now the

(05:20):
state wants them to be paid 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. The goats. Are they paying the goats?
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
I guess the goats get a cut. So the salaries
are going to go from $ 64, 000 to $ 224, 000 a year.
Mind you, a lot of these goat herders are from
some unknown village in Africa somewhere.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Or seriously, right? Or Eastern Europe or wherever they herd goats.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't know. Doing it for a dollar an hour.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
Right.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
Right.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
There's like 64 grand. This is a great deal. I
get free housing.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Right. Nobody's shooting at me. Right.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Let me go back to something. It's free housing. It's it's.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Most importantly, it's a cost effective way to not burn
down the state.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Right.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Now, let's see, does.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
California have problems with fires right now or not?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
I don't know. The whole Palisades just burnt down.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
They don't want, none of them want diesel burning big machinery, right? So, okay,
we can bring in some goats pretty cost effectively. It's
good for the goats. It's good for the environment. It's
good for everybody.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
It's good for the herders.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
Nope.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Still not happy.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Still not.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
They're just never happy. Liberals are just never happy.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
The idea with liberalism is literally to make as much
destruction as possible and bring everybody down.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
It is to keep people as I mean, the herders
are migrants. Now they're anti-migrant.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Right.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I mean, that's right. I thought they were pro-migration. What happened?

Speaker 5 (06:40):
But let me back this up. This is what the
herders get. I mean, honestly, it's a retirement gig.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
That might be fun.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
I mean, you're going to give me free housing. I
get to camp in the wilderness, right? I'm going to
get $ 64, 000 a year. I'm going to hang out with
goats all day long. You get to work with goats?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, this is not a bad gig. They don't
try to take extra breaks.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Go on strike?

Speaker 1 (06:58):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Let me play this again here. They're not unionized. Let's
see here.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Not yet.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Can you unionize a goat?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
State law is forcing goat herder salaries to increase to
an amount companies cannot afford.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
It takes our wages from $ 64, 000 up to $ 240, 000 a year. $ 240, 000?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Sheep herders are exempt from this law, which now requires
goat herders to be compensated on a 24 hours per day,
seven days per week hourly basis. Instead of the current monthly.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Salary, no changes are made to the law. Alan will
be forced to let go of his three goat herders.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Without herders, these goats just can't be properly taken care of,
and it will force companies to have to get rid
of them. One such group in the North State said
these proposed changes will lead to a grim outlook for
their animals.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
We will effectively sell these goats to slaughter and we
will go out of business and probably file bankruptcy on
this business and be done with it in the state
of California.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Alan says his family owned and operated.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
But guess what the results will be? Not only are
you losing the business, not only are you hurting a
whole industry.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, your whole land will be gone in five years anyway.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
You are increasing the risk of forest fires and California wildfires.
Which already has an– okay, so when I talk about Canada,
when we talk about liberalism, when we talk about liberal
policy leading to this stuff, there right there is a
direct example of one policy that makes it riskier.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Same thing with not cleaning out the brush. Same thing
with not filling the reservoirs full of water. I mean
at what level of mental illness are you at right now?
When you don't want goats to clean up the... I mean,
it just makes zero sense. We've got to pay a
fair wage, Mike. I don't agree with it, but I
could see how some of these liberals get brainwashed to
the point.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Where we don't want this big, heavy equipment in the forest. Sure.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Is the forest better off? Of course. Anybody with common
sense would say clean it up because it's better off than.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Being blown up. But, I mean, this is goats. This
is your dream, you left-wing whack jobs. They want to
pay these folks. They want them to be paid..

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Look it.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
So the goat herders, they're going to sleep at some point.
They want them to be paid 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. So whatever that salary is equates to,
it's $ 64, 000 on an hourly basis. Quadruple that now because
it's not an eight-hour day.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
But not the sheep. The sheep get a break. The
goats do not. The sheep sleep. The goats sleep. The
herders sleep. Everybody sleeps at some point.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
I would think the, quote, herders would let the goats
out for a certain limited amount of hours and then
bring them back in, right?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Could you imagine? Would that be part of the deal? 240,000.
Like herding them up? Like that's part of the deal,
herding them back up? Well, you just got to keep
an eye. You move them.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
So as a goat herder, you're- But I don't think
a goat's going to eat 24-7, right?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
No, they sleep.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
No, no, no.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
Right, right.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, they sleep just like the herders sleep.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, they're not going 24-7, seven days a week.

Speaker 10 (09:41):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
It's just preposterous, right?

Speaker 5 (09:44):
I mean, again, though, you're taking a vital service where
goats can go and clean out brush.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
It is a win-win for everybody, and they still mess
that up.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
They still mess it up.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
They cannot i i mean it's got to be we
got to pay the these goat herders honest to god
i mean in their country they're probably making you know
twelve dollars a day yeah you got to pay them
two hundred forty thousand dollars a year they're never going
to come back right one year they're gonna be like
i'm good right and i'm the richest man in my
village now yeah one year now the easiest.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Right The easiest answer might be, okay, we'll move that
to Florida. The problem is, is nobody now wants your land.
Nobody else comes in and says, okay, I'll take that over. Right. It's,
you know, that's, that's where it becomes so hard and
difficult as you put your life and your passion into
building some company. And then you got some liberals that

(10:34):
destroy it. And, you know, I mean, how many, go
through the list of the folks in New York, the
Kathy Hochul, um, Cuomo, every one of them. I forget
the guy who was a blind guy who stepped in
for a while when Spitzer got the one who.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Was every every single one of them. Every single one
of them said, get out.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
And then they said, oh, well, you should come back. Right.
The problem with the quote, get out. is these people
have put their life savings into their business, right? So
many of them are portable. And you're starting to see
that with Wall Street now. We have said this forever,
and we are spot on right with this. We said,
watch and see. When Wall Street becomes portable, that's when

(11:15):
New York City becomes Detroit. And that's exactly what's happening
right now. Wall Street is very portable because they're not
selling widgets. They didn't build a factory, right? So they're
taking their brainpower away. and moving it to specifically Palm Beach,
which is now turning into the next hedge fund capital
of the world.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
But they're taking that brainpower and moving it.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
But the widget factory is like, man, I've got to
slowly piece this thing out because I've got all my
money wrapped up in this building that nobody wants.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
But interestingly enough, And California has made things so bad.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Oh, for sure.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
That even manufacturers like Tesla picked up their entire plant
and moved the entire manufacturing facility.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
It'll be phases, right?

Speaker 4 (11:53):
What'll happen is any successful company in California will go,
you know what? We were going to add on and
expand and add 100 jobs here. We're not going to
do it. We're going to shift that over there. And
before you know it, it's gone.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's like everything they're working on.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
I mean, when you look at the problems in California,
like New York City, but California we're talking about for
a second here. They have the highest homeless rate in
the country.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's a disaster. The drug use is incredible. Off the chart.
Illegal aliens are 20% of the population.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
The highest gap between the rich and the poor. Housing
completely unaffordable for most normal folks, right?

Speaker 6 (12:25):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
And what are they going to focus on? Well, we've
got to pay goat herders more. We've got to make
sure they're making a... They're fighting for higher minimum wages.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
You guys, how many times..

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Are how how stupid could you be can you double
up triple up quadruple up when when does it end
when does a stupidity end where you just say hey
you know what let's look at the results of our
actions right and then and and then our is that
gap closing no it's getting wider and wider and wider
Is the homeless problem getting better? No, it's getting worse

(12:59):
and worse. You'd think at some point they would just say, look,
we're wrong. But again, it's easier to trick people than
it is to untrick people. I guess.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
But you look at the– they're trying to block– the
state attorney general is going to block the Paramount merger
with whatever the other movie.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Company is, right? Yeah, they're gone. They're going to be
gone too. They're talking about leaving. Hollywood, well. Hollywood's already
a garbage dumpster, too. But why?

Speaker 5 (13:22):
It's like, whoa, it's a potential monopoly.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
It's bad for consumers. We're talking about movies and TV.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Don't watch it. Just don't watch it. Right? This isn't
like a critical... And let me let you in on
a little secret.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
You can wait around and get anything for free online
at some point.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
But to be honest with you, though, this is.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Like, oh, we can't have higher prices for movies and... Again..

Speaker 5 (13:42):
I get the breaking up of monopolies if it's a
railroad or something that's a utility. Of course, they have
pretty good monopolies. You don't have a choice with your
electric company. But nevertheless, that seems to be OK. But monopolies,
that's what's a critical service.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's bad. If it's movies.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Right.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'm sorry. Guess what?

Speaker 5 (14:01):
If one movie company owns the entire industry and movies
are a gajillion dollars, guess.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
What's going to happen? Just watch them. That's right.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
I'll buy my popcorn like I always do at Wegmans,
and I'll pop it myself, and I'll watch something else.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
I mean, it's just crazy.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Oh, and by the way, I'm just A-OK with watching
that movie a year later for free when nobody else
is bothered by it, and nobody else can afford it anymore.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
That's what they're working on. That's what California honest to God.
That's right. That's what the state attorney general is worried about.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
Not that they just completely stole the election from Spencer Pratt, which,
by the way, are we just moving on from that?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
I mean, it was blatantly obvious, right? Blatantly obvious, right?
Absolute steal and whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
We're just going to go on. We just move on.
It's incredible. Yeah, we just move on. They don't care.
There's not enough evidence.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
The problem is that steel is so big right now
that it's almost impossible for a guy like Spencer Pratt
to overturn that, right?

Speaker 2 (14:55):
He doesn't have the resources to do that.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
You're looking at– I mean, you're looking at– Well, I
think they made it illegal to look into it. But
you're looking at millions and millions of dollars in attorney
fees just to try to have the chance to fight that.
In Michigan, the Attorney General of Michigan literally made it
illegal to investigate election fraud.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Right. Think about that. Nothing to see here.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Remember when they covered up the windows when they were
moving in ballots in Michigan? They literally were nothing to
see here, so the observers couldn't observe. They have poll
watchers and observers for a reason. They blocked out the
windows and kicked them out and said, everything's fine here.
And people are like, oh, there's no election fraud.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
What are you, crazy? Sure, sure thing. They stack them
in the Prius, or as Ann would say, a Genesis.

Speaker 11 (15:38):
Right, exactly.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Is that a Genesis?

Speaker 9 (15:39):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Genesis. I just found out that there's a car called Genesis.
Never knew that.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
I don't even think your mic's on.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
I'm telling you. No, I turned it off. I'm sorry.
They're Hondas.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
No, they're not.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
No, they're Hyundai's. Well, they used to be.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
They used to be the.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Luxury brand of Hyundai. Honda. Or Hyundai's. No, Hyundai. Hyundai. Yes.
I don't buy any of this stuff. I buy American. Right, right.
I'm a man. Is that? I guess. I'm a man.
I buy big trucks. Just like Lexus is the- That
I can't get anything out of anymore. I'm like, oh,
my back. I'm hanging. Somebody else. So true. It's like

(16:19):
Lexus is the luxury brand of Toyota. Genesis is a luxury.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
Well, it was.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
I think they spun it off to their own company.
He goes, I know I've picked you up before in
this thing.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
You bet in the car.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
We've gone to events together. I've never even seen one
of these things. You bet in the car, Mike.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Multiple times. So you didn't make an invention. I guess not.

Speaker 7 (16:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Didn't wow me, Ann. See if I can do better
with the next one. Oh, boy. Anyway. Don't you have
a Jeep now? I see you in a car, a
different car every day. No, that's Marty's. Marty's Jeep. Yeah, yeah.
He had his Hellcat last week. Yeah. Oh, that's cool.
So keep him around, just for the cars. I do.
Marty is staying for the cars. That's right. If we

(16:59):
can convince him to get a Lambo, another year.

Speaker 9 (17:01):
Nice.

Speaker 12 (17:01):
Right?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Poor Marty. Poor Marty. Yeah. Sorry, Marty. Poor Marty.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
All right, Marty.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
We're having so much fun at your expense, Marty.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
He's a big guy. I better be nice. Good thing
he's a big baby.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
All right.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Well, if you need us throughout the week, folks, we
do manage money for a living. 833-FIN-GUYS, dfinancialguys.com. A little
volatility in the market. A lot of rotation going on
between different sectors. Make sure you're diversified.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Doing reviews of clients, it's funny because two and three
years ago, I was AI, AI, AI, AI. And if
you looked at the portfolios, it was growth, growth, growth.
That's every time a client would come in, it's like
that sector's up, you know? And of course, every few
of them would say, well, we should have all our
money in that. I'm like, well, but now you're seeing
that rotation. And if you look back the last 12 months, Yeah,

(17:49):
growth still has done really well, but so have some
of the old economy boring types of stuff that are
starting to catch up.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
And we've been talking about this forever, and I've been saying.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
You know, the winners in AI might not be the
companies long term that you think. You know, when you
look back at the Internet in the 90s, most people
would have said AOL by 2026 would be a huge powerhouse.
And it's not right. That wasn't the winner that you
thought it was going to be. But yet who benefit
from the, from the internet? Well, lots of companies you
could argue and say, yeah, the Microsoft's in the tax.

(18:22):
But I mean, I look at how, um, so many
companies are operate at a more efficient level and that's
all hitting their profit line, their, their bottom lines.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
And their margins.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Um, I know there's one guy who always gets mad
when I use drag racing analogies, but I saw this
morning actually.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You should do more of it.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
I definitely am going to do more of it. It's funny.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
He sent this really nasty email like, stop talking about
drag racing. So I answered it in drag racing terms.
You cannot make everybody happy. I'm going to take your
advice and I'm going to treat it just like a
race and I'm going to learn every single time.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
And so he was probably fired up.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
But anyways, there's a track in Kansas who is now
using drones to spray the track.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Oh, that's cool.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
You know, drag strips are sticky, right? And it's very difficult.
These machines, you know, they get sticky, right? So now
these drones just drive up, fly up and down the
track and spray the track.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
And the cool thing is you can program them. So
when we did that event, the charity event last week
or two, whatever it was, a couple weeks ago now,
um we had the it was being filmed by uh
clicky joe and his drone was all pre-programmed so he
had already mapped the entire route to do so all
he had to do was basically put it up in
the air yeah and then he was free to roam

(19:35):
the crowd as this thing went all the way around
at a 360 and took a wide video and the
whole thing was so cool it's amazing yeah yeah it's
incredible now same thing for for uh for farm fields
yep um they're now using those drones to spray uh
it's a big deal now used to be and then
florida you still see a lot of the old planes
so the old uh dust crap duster planes and they're
cool those guys are crazy well.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
They're coming down they're flying six.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Feet off in japan they're using drones to regrow the
uh trees so what used to take months to plant
all these trees these drones literally shoot them into the
ground like a gun all and so they'll go all
the way down all the way back and shoot them
right into the ground that's really crazy so you're doing
a whole field in hours that used to take months

(20:18):
right that's just incredible i mean the the possibilities are
just i mean.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Think about what we did in the in the middle
east recently we rescued a couple sailors from uh with
the with the drone boat yeah Literally, that was probably
being operated by somebody in.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Maryland, Washington, D.C. It was incredible. I mean, unbelievable where
we're going with this stuff. Trump, get him. Rescue him.
Go get him.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Great drone. Biggest drone ever. Fastest boat. Fastest boat. But,
I mean, just incredible stuff. But it is impacting all
industries in a positive way. It's making a lot more efficiencies.
But staying diversified obviously keeps you on track to not
have as much volatility as you would perhaps without that.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Diversification and then you've got to put your arms and
hands in there and sort of rebalance. That's the other key.
There's too much technology out there to not take advantage of. Hey,
the stock market's up. maybe you trim a little bit
of those gains, the stock market's down, now's the time
to buy. The thing is, markets seem like they're, we
always say long-term, long-term, long-term, but in the short term,

(21:22):
meaning six to 12 months, you can make subtle adjustments
along the way to set yourself up for those corrections.
As the market continues to grow and move upwards, you
sort of take a little bit of profits and set
them aside.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
The market goes up again, you set them aside.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
All it takes is one COVID-19, or one something like that.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's always something different.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
And the market drops 35% and the world's ending.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
And that's when you go, hey, now I'm going to
go back and buy some of this stuff. So you
do that through simple rebalancing.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
And there's too much technology out there between investment financial
planning software and the custodians. I mean, now you look
at some of the custodians that we use, whether it's
Charles Schwab or Fidelity, huge financial institutions, and the costs
have gone down tremendously from where they were just five
and 10 years ago.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
So you can rebalance for free.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Now, it doesn't mean it's free, but it means it
used to be, hey, you're going to pay this fee
and you're going to pay when we're due trading. no
longer is that the case for one simple fee you're
getting everything and if we want to trade and rebalance
20 times a year we can do that so got
to take advantage of some of this stuff and if

Speaker 5 (23:07):
All right, next half hour, I've got some information that
New York Post has put out there regarding your cost
of eggs. And once again, you'll be surprised that, sure enough,
it happens to be a liberal behind some of the
rising costs. I know, again, it was avian flu and
all the other stuff, but But it's interesting to see,
you know, where we're going with these activist groups. And,

(23:29):
you know, we're in a dangerous period where these firms
are on the opposite side, right? So these activists that
are liberally funded, whether it be George Soros or otherwise,
are funding groups that are with whatever their pet project is.
But in every single time, it makes American lives and
just everybody's life in general worse off, right?

Speaker 2 (23:48):
The gold one's the best. I mean, the goat.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Well, he started out with the goat. These liberals are
messing up. Goats coming in to clean up the land
in California. The goats are already here.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
The herders come in. Yeah. Well, the goats are going
to be gone. Well, the goats will be gone. They'll
kill the goats. Yeah, the goats are done. They have
to have a herder. They're going to be food, and
then they're gone, right?

Speaker 4 (24:09):
And then the fires come, and then they go, I
don't know why this happened.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
This is terrible. Climate change. That's right.

Speaker 10 (24:16):
All right.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
We'll talk more about that on the other side of
the break. But you'll find this interesting on the egg thing.

250 years ago, America declared independence. And with the Erie Canal,
Buffalo boomed into an economic powerhouse. Today, Democrat mayors admit
the city's falling apart.

Speaker 17 (28:11):
Why do we need to raise taxes? Because our city
is broke and it's literally falling apart. About half of
our garbage trucks don't work. Potholed streets, community centers are
falling apart.

And their solution?

Speaker 2 (28:23):

You're listening to the Financial Guys Radio Show.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Welcome back.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
You've got the Financial Guys here on the Financial Guys
Media Network. We've been kind of bouncing around a little bit.
We just talked a little bit of finance about some
of the market rotation and things like that. Of course,
I always take your questions if you ask us anything
on finance, of course. I wanted to talk about– we
were talking about some of the, again, liberal policies, which
is a pretty– Easy target here.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
I'm not even sure what their policies are.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
It seems like they're just against everything that has any
kind of common sense.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
They're against everything that wants to make anybody's life okay
or better. So California, we just talked about a new
law that would force the goat herders to be paid
four times what they're currently being paid.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
So they get paid $ 64, 000 a year. Now the New
York State. Coming to New York State soon.

Speaker 14 (31:08):
California.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Goat herder salaries coming to New York State soon.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
California wants to increase their salaries to $ 240, 000 a year.
And the company's like, we're out of business. Now, what
do goat herders do? Well, they take the whole business
for fire prevention. Now, what does California have a lot.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Of problems with? Well, homelessness, drug problems, housing. Disparity of income. Oh,
and wildfires. Wildfires.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
And vacant corporate real estate. Huge, huge problem where you
have buildings that people paid $ 100 million for that they
can't get $ 1 million for.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Nobody even wants them. Think about that. And you say, well,
could that happen? Yeah. I mean, it's happened here, the
east side of Buffalo.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
I mean, those homes were beautiful. 65, 70 years ago.
And now you can't give them away.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Right.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Literally people will say, you can have my house. I
don't want the liability anymore. And people are like, no,
I'm okay.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm good. No, I'm good.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
So if you remember, you know, obviously there's never, things
don't happen in a vacuum, right? So there's a lot
of different factors that factor in or inputs that factor
into things like, you know, rising prices or wildfires, things
like that.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
It's not, well, go-hers are gone. That's the only thing. No, no, no.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
It's, Let's remove the goat herders. Let's stop forest management.
Let's stop doing fire breaks. Let's stop, you know, it's
all the things that they've done up until this point. Canada,
same thing, right? Here we are with, you know, Hayes
and Buffalo. Thanks again for, you know, your net zero policies, Canada, right?
You know, so great job on the environment, Canada.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Good work. This is really helping. It's really helping, right?

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Thank God you got, you know, good environmental policies up there.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
They've ripped the ozone layer apart like 17 times over
this weekend.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
You know, trying to save the world. So funny. Not really,
but not ha-ha funny.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
No, not funny. So now we go back, but again,
you know, not things that are not bad. So egg
prices went up substantially. It was like, oh, my God,
egg prices. You know, the big fan about getting chickens,
all that good stuff, right? So egg prices went up
to a ridiculous, I think they quadrupled, right, at one point.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
They were like $ 12. It was like $ 1 an egg.
It's ridiculous, right?

Speaker 5 (33:12):
And obviously a big part of that was the avian flu, right?
So as soon as a bird tested positive, of course,
places like New York City are like, kill the whole flock!

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Brilliant, right?

Speaker 4 (33:21):
And all that stuff is going to trade on an exchange.
It's going to trade to the futures markets. It's going
to go up and down, right? But you don't want
to add to the stupidity of anything.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
Yeah, but one of the reasons, and one of the
reasons that will continue to drive things like meat prices
higher and eggs higher is is liberals. Again, Dustin Moskovich,
the billionaire co-founder of Facebook and enterprise software company Asana,
this is a New York Post article, has talked openly, Mike,

(33:51):
about how he likes to eat meat. But in a
curious twist, the lefty Democratic mega-donor has poured nearly a
half a billion dollars into activist campaigns that have made
it harder to run animal farms and contributed to the
rising cost of eggs and meat for millions of American consumers.
All while one of Muscovitz's foundations holds nearly $ 89 million

(34:14):
stake in plant-based company Impossible Foods, meaning it could benefit
if pricier meat pushes more consumers towards meat alternatives.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
He'll still be eating meat, by the way. Oh. It
doesn't matter to him, right?

Speaker 6 (34:24):
No.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
He's a billionaire. It doesn't matter what the cost of
a $ 300 steak. Not a big deal. Not a big deal.
Not a problem for these people, right? Not a big deal.
The rest of the world won't be able to eat them.
They'll have to move to my veggie garbage. That's right.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
So the money trail runs through two closely linked entities, Muscovites'
philanthropic empire, coefficient giving... And Good Ventures, private foundation run
by Muscovich's wife.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Good Ventures. I'll tell you, they're always great at the marketing.
I know, right?

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Good Ventures.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Good Ventures. Saving animals. Like, oh, of course everybody would
want to save animals. You don't want to hurt animals,
do you?

Speaker 3 (34:54):
No, no.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
No, I want to save them. I want to save them.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
On paper, Coefficient Giving says its mission is simple. Reduce
suffering on factory farms. Since 2016, the nonprofit has handed
out more than $ 480 million towards that cause. But Farmers
and Industry Insiders told the Post that operations amount to
a well-funded pressure campaign, bankrolling activist groups, ballot measures, corporate
pressure tactics, lawsuits. and media projects that they say have

(35:19):
helped drive up the cost of meat, eggs, and pork
for everyday Americans.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
This isn't just some activist holding signs anymore, folks.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
This is half a billion dollars in well-organized funding, corporate
pressure tactics, ballot measures, activist group, lawsuits.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
I mean, you name it. Be curious to see if
they're shorting goats on the exchange.

Speaker 11 (35:39):
Probably probably right exactly it's incredible oh my gosh they
didn't miss anything did no yeah follow the money nancy
pelosi miraculously.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Just caught the goat swing right short of them short
of them the average goat went from a thousand to
fifty dollars yep she made you know 80 million dollars
who would have thought.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Incredible.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
Anyway, the post-review of donations list, Coefficient Giving's website found
the money has been spread across nearly every part of
the animal rights activist ecosystem. The biggest recipients include the
Humane League, 94.5 million, Mercy for Animals, 38.7 million, and
Animal International, 21.1. Compassion in World Farming, 27. The Good
Farm Institute, 32. These are all million. A profit that

(36:30):
promotes plant and cell-based alternatives to animal products.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
So, again, you know, am I saying, oh, man, torture
the animals, make it as bad as possible? No, of
course not.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
No.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
But honestly, I mean, maybe we shouldn't have taken all
the small family farms away. You know, and maybe we should.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Turn them into solar plants or solar fields.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
So they go on to say stories on pig slaughterhouses
and dairy cruelty cited officials from groups like Compassion World
and Farming and Conservative Wealth.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Respectively, both have been received. Millions of co-founders giving.

Speaker 17 (37:01):
Blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
The stories did not disclose the circular nature of the
funding sources. And any mention of open philanthropy can be
found only on.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
A separate web page on the Guardian's website. Make no mistake.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
This is a very well-funded and strategic movement that's targeting
animal agriculture. So again, and probably if you follow the
money trail like you do, you can do that with
Bill Gates, right?

Speaker 4 (37:22):
With all his helping the world with the vaccines. And
then you realize, well, wait a minute, you actually own
that company. Well, he's the same one talking about getting
rid of it. He's a big proponent of reducing meat consumption.
He's a big part of that. He owns all the
veggie patties.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
He owns it beyond meat.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
He's a big funder and investor.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Exactly.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
He believes in saving the world because the environment's going
to hack. He's got enough money to plant millions and
millions of trees, but he doesn't believe in that. This
is something like Lex Luthor level. These are super villains, right?

Speaker 5 (37:57):
That set the world on fire and then sell the
water back to fight it.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
It's incredible. Well, they learned from the liberal playbook. We're
going to mess it all up. Every one of them.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Then we're going to put together a team with some
really nice pensions. And that team, by the way, will be...
that the players will be seeded through who gives back
to the Democrat.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Party, and we're all going to end up better off.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I mean, not the actual thing we're trying to fix,
but we will end up better off, meaning the Democrats
and the people playing the game, right?

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Let me read more of this. This is ridiculous. He's
made millions. Oh, God, yeah. Billy Gates has made millions
and millions of dollars off of this stuff. Absolutely. Billions, billions, billions, billions.

Speaker 7 (38:39):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
This goes on to say the chicken and the egg fight.
The activist war on animal farms is not some abstract
policy debate for Mike Weber, whose family owns Sunrise Farms
in Sonoma County, just north of San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
In 2018, activists raided his farm.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
And what they thought would be a viral sting operation,
they showed up with buses, hundreds of people, Weber said,
of the activists who targeted.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
His family's 114-year-old family poultry farm.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
They coordinated this whole event to storm onto our farm illegally,
pry open the doors, and run through the chicken houses
trying to steal the chickens. 40 activists involved in the
incident were reportedly arrested for trespassing, according to Politico. Activists
claimed the barns were filled with bloody, injured, and dead birds,
Weber said.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Well, they probably stepped on them on their way in.
But his own footage showed a different story. Oh, there
we go. court.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
That same year, California voters passed Proposition 12, which required
farm animals to receive more space and egg producing chickens
to go cage free. Weber said the new requirement forced
him to overhaul the design of his farm, leading to
extra costs being passed on to consumers. while also making
it more likely that his chickens could contract disease, leading
to additional measures to vaccinate the bird. So once again,

(39:53):
fine for 112 years this guy's doing this, right? Family,
114 years, I'm sorry. Weber's Family Farm. 114-year-old family business, right?
Do you think that the family farmer knows his chickens?
Or does the bureaucrat know the chickens? By the way,
as a farmer, you're going to take care of your chickens.
That's your problem. That's your business.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
That's your product.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
You're not whipping them around the field and trying to
ruin the meat, right? This is how screwed up these
liberals are. And San Francisco is such a great snapshot
of this, right? You have, and Spencer Pratt did a
really good job of this, showing all the problems in
places like L.A., whether it's L.A., San Francisco, you name
the town, right? These drug addicts are showing up at

(40:38):
the parks where kids are, right? So not only are
they giving drugs to these 12-year-olds, they are so messed up, right,
that they stand around naked naked. in these parks right
across from a school yeah right defecating in the streets
and we're going to send a bus in to see
what the chickens are doing exactly yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
Right as liberals are worried about so these yeah so
these activist groups by the way this is these are
real problems right this is i mean they're lucky nobody
was killed i mean if a bunch of people storm
my farm yeah i gotta be honest yeah i'm not
like just filing trespassing charges like people are leaving a
body bag right just letting you know you know It's
just incredible.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
California. Most of the guns are gone from the good guys, right?
That's right.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
So his farm was targeted. Weber's farm was not funded
by Muscovitz, but he told the Post that he considers
Coal Fisher giving his network to be in league with
the same bad actors.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
I got a dog story for you. Remind me.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
On the other side of the break, are we up
against a break here? We've got to take a break.
I've got another dog story for you. I've got more
from this, too, as well. We'll talk about the dog story.
We're going to take a very short break. Again, folks,

NewsRadio.

Speaker 6 (44:23):
Wham!

Speaker 3 (44:23):
1180.

Speaker 19 (44:28):
One thing the White House says is everyone who said
Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, we're the only ones
who did something about it.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Well, no, President Obama did something about it without firing
a shot.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
What did he do?

Speaker 2 (44:37):
He brought them to the table with crippling sanctions.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
They gave up their nuclear program.

Speaker 14 (44:40):
The Ayatollah.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
The only thing they were, their backs were crippled by
carrying the pallets of cash.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
Let me make my point before you reflexively refute it.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
You're listening to the Financial Guys radio show.

Speaker 9 (44:53):
Welcome back.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
You've got the financial guys, Glenn Wiggle and Mike Lomas,
the OGs, the original guys here in studio. We've been
doing this since 1999, hard to believe, late 98 really,
getting started. So I don't know how many years that
is now, 27 years or so.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
On the air. And, you know, money meets politics. That's
what this show is really all about.

Speaker 5 (45:13):
And oftentimes we're talking about government policy, how that impacts
economics and the stock market. Lately, I feel like we're
talking a lot about how government policy and really specifically
liberal policies really have a detrimental impact on just about
everybody's lives, including their own.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Most of the time, not the wealthy ones.

Speaker 7 (45:32):
Right.

Speaker 5 (45:32):
People like the Muscovites, the Facebook co-founder. He's a billionaire.

Speaker 7 (45:36):
Right.

Speaker 5 (45:37):
Higher egg and steak prices, that doesn't affect him. Higher
gas prices, that doesn't affect him. So these people are
not affected by most of the time the policies that
they're putting forth that hurt everybody else.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
Some are on the positive and some are on the negative.
The negatives way outweigh the positives. So a Musk is
going to say, okay, what's in my best interest? Where's
my portfolio going to move another billion dollars? And how
do I get the sheep? No pun intended, because we
were talking about goat and sheep before. But where do

(46:07):
we get the sheep to follow me?

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Oh, you know what?

Speaker 3 (46:10):
I'm Bill Gates.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
I bet you I could get them to save the
world with me on these vaccines. And look at how
charitable I am as I'm giving all this stuff away. Look,
I want to save the world. And the way to
do it is to buy. Remember, did you ever see
the movie Clerks?

Speaker 10 (46:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Where the guy works for Truly's Gum?

Speaker 13 (46:32):
No.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
And what he does is he goes into gas stations
and he waits for people to buy cigarettes. And then
he goes, that stuff's killing you. And he shows pictures
of lungs and all this stuff. And then he goes,
and these people are part of the problem. The guy
behind the desk, selling the, selling the cigarettes. And then
he's like, you know what you should do? Cause you're
going to have a cravings by this. Truly's gum is

(46:54):
quit this stuff. And then they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
It reminds me of that. Like, that's what, that's what
they do.

Speaker 6 (47:00):
Right?

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Like you should do this. And then you're like, wait
a minute. You own the truly's gum. Like you own
the vaccine.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
You own the.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
Meat company or the, veggie meat company that's selling this
garbage right oh that's what they do it's the blast
it's a blast uh i i did say i had
a dog story before i forget okay so this is
out of the uk um and uk police telling residents
not to walk dogs in muslim areas to avoid offending their.

Speaker 5 (47:29):
Religion Wait till this happens in New York City.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
It's coming here. Oh, yeah, it's coming right here. Everything
that's happening in Britain is coming here. This is what
they do. It's coming here, meaning New York City.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
Then Buffalo eventually. Detroit, Michigan had a huge Muslim rally
this week. Not one American flag.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
So they come here. That's all of, what is that town?
That's Dearborn.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Dearborn, there you go. Dearborn, yes. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
So it's, you know, L.A., San Francisco, Illinois, you know.
Make sure you can't offend anybody.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Don't offend anybody.

Speaker 5 (48:02):
Well, now they're trying to put forth. There's a guy in,
I think he's in Maryland, a state senator. He's trying
to put forth legislation.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
No Senate. No Senate. No Senate. That's a bad idea.
That's a bad idea.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
Well, he's trying to put forth legislation so that Islamophobia
or any sort of assaulting Islam becomes a hate crime.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Listen.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
And who gets to define that? We have free speech
in this country. If we want to talk about a religion,
we're going to talk about it. And if you don't
like it, cover your ears.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Don't listen. Too bad. You know where they don't have
free speech? This is the problem, though. Yeah. Muslim country.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
Right.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
This is the problem.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
When I tweet and say that their culture is not
compatible with Western.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Western culture is free speech. respecting other religions. Right. Right.
Respecting women. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
Right.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
That's right. None of those things are high on the
priority list. Per hour. In most countries.

Speaker 11 (48:52):
Per hour.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
Now, women officially make more per hour than men. Now,
it doesn't mean they make more money because there's still
more women in that raising kids than there is men,
although that has been changing. But per hour, if you
go to a trainer, the likelihood is that if that
trainer is a female, probably making a little more money
than a male.

Speaker 6 (49:11):
Right.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
That's just those are true stats right now.

Speaker 7 (49:13):
Right.

Speaker 6 (49:13):
So.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
So what does that mean? It means great opportunities are
out there, right? Just as many people on welfare that
are white that are black right now, right?

Speaker 4 (49:22):
So it shows you that really, if you want to
work hard in this country, it doesn't matter the color
of your skin. It doesn't matter how tall or short
you are. It just means you got to work hard, right?
And if you work hard, You'll be able to get ahead, right?
Great opportunities. No place in the world can you go
from the lowest tax ring to the highest tax ring
within a 10-year block.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
It's the fastest ever. Well, that's why people risk their
lives to come here. That's right.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
I mean, that's why what's amazing to me is no
one's risking their life to float to Cuba.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
You see in the case of Dearborn, Michigan, where you
see all these Muslims, not one of them carrying an
American flag.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's like, why did you leave? Well, did you hear
what Rashida Tlaib said?

Speaker 10 (49:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Oh, my God. Maybe I did.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
I mean, when she gave a speech to the Democrats,
Socialists of America, she's flat out saying, we need to
tear down this country.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Well, they've been saying that forever. I'm paraphrasing. Obama said that.
Obama said that. So can I just get back to
this real quick?

Speaker 5 (50:11):
I can wrap up this article on the cost, the
rising cost. Because this impacted everybody. The price of meat,
by the way, at the grocery stores is still super high. Now,
part of that's inflation, right? But this is what these
groups do, right? They raise the cost for everybody. You know,
what they did in the one case, let me see
if I can find the right thing.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
Part of that is we've taken farmers specifically in places
like New York State and said, hey, we will pay
you an exorbitant amount of money. I know you're struggling
or at least not going to make nearly this money.
So we want your farm to put these solar panels up. Oh,
by the way, they're going to do almost zero to change.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Anybody's electric bill or whatever. Well, the farmers get paid
more money.

Speaker 5 (50:49):
So in a lot of the cases, the farmers are like, listen,
I've talked to someone.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
For sure, I've got no other choice. I've got no
other choice. Part of that is all the.

Speaker 4 (50:59):
Garbage they make. Years ago, a farmer could put their
stuff down. They would use the cow manure to fertilize it.
Now it's, oh, you've got to spray this. We've got
to inspect this. And now we're finding out, well, all
that stuff. wait a minute, my grandmother lived to be 100,
and she didn't have all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (51:18):
Now they're pushing for, at some point, I don't know
if they were passed or not, but they were pushing
for migrant workers, farm workers to receive a bit of wage.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Because oftentimes they don't, because they all get things like housing,
free housing while they're here.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
To offset it, right? They'll get food, and it's all included, yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
So getting back to this article, the Post Review found
that Coefficient Giving, which is the group that Muscovitz funds,
Gave $ 4 million to the Prevent Cruelty California for the
Yes on Prop 12 campaign. Its grant database also shows
millions more flowing in the groups, pushing cage-free aid campaigns,
broiler chicken campaigns, corporate pledges, shareholder pressure efforts, and litigation

(51:56):
targets targeting animal agriculture. Coggins said that the campaigns continuously
move the goalposts for farmers until compliance costs become too
steep for smaller producers, leading the cost... to the cost
of meat and eggs becoming more expensive for consumers. Meanwhile,
the same groups vilify large-scale farms, right? So on the
one hand, they're vilifying large-scale farms because they don't like
the mass production. On the other hand, they're making regulations

(52:18):
so difficult that they're putting small farmers out of business.
And that's not just California. It's the same in New York,
the same everywhere else in the country. And then when
there's no food or when food prices are super high,
they're like, see?

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Trump. Trump's fault, right?

Speaker 12 (52:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
It's liberals' fault. When you can take almost any issue,
health care, your health care costs are through the roof.
Let's see. Obamacare, right? Social Security is running out of money.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Let's see. That was put together by FDR.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (52:46):
Again.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
I love these people that are like, ah, liberal policies work.
Just go back 90 years to see these policies, which.

Speaker 15 (52:51):
Are all broke.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
They're all broke. There's not one that's not broke. There's
not one that's not broke. That's the crazy thing.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
If you looked at a track record, I don't care
who or what, you're putting together a basketball team.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
And you go, you know what?

Speaker 4 (53:05):
I think I'm going to go out and do some
research and find the five players that absolutely stink. I've
never been successful. That's the team I'm going to put
on the field.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
No.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
It just blows your mind to think that you could
keep doing this kind of stupidity and watch these areas
just … Go right down the tubes, and it's so frustrating.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
We're going to do it again.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
Hey, minimum wage. Let's increase it now. Why not $ 100, right?

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
And it's like they try to touch everything.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
If they haven't messed it up, they're trying to, right?

Speaker 4 (53:38):
The goat story should be like that's where we're at.
There's crack addicts selling heroin to 12-year-olds in the park.
There's homeless people defecating in front of schools naked, right?

Speaker 2 (53:53):
And we're worried about the goats. The goat herders. The
goat herders. There's nothing about the goats. The goats will
be sold for slaughter. So they don't really care about
the goats. Nothing left, though.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
They just want to make.

Speaker 5 (54:02):
Sure the immigrant goat herder makes a good quarter million
dollars a year while you're struggling to put food on
your table.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
That's when you.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
Know they're struggling and there's nothing left, right? Like you
look at the state of New York and you're like, okay, well,
what else could they tax, right? Well, you know, they've
got the state tax. Okay, well, that's, you know, second
highest in the country, I think, right?

Speaker 2 (54:20):
So, all right, well.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
You don't really want to add to that in a
political season. Yeah, but what about tolls? Well, we've got
them every single where. We don't really want to add
to that.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Well, hey, what about your car? You know what we'll do?
We'll get them to inspect the car every single year.
So you got that new 2026 car.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
By 2027 you better get a state inspection okay like
you start to think okay what did they not touch
right and that's what they do by the way monday
through friday it's what else can we get our fingers
on it's not how can we help these business owners
how can we yeah unless by the way you're you're
one of these big companies that you do donate to
the democrat party we'll help.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
You we'll figure out a way to get you some
of that money.

Speaker 5 (54:59):
Back right except for i mean when you look at
the the all the different sectors i know we're up
against top of our break here but When you look
at some of the fastest growing areas are areas that
government hasn't been involved in over.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Yes. Technology.

Speaker 8 (55:12):
Right.

Speaker 5 (55:12):
Now you got Bernie Sanders going, well, government, we need
half of these companies.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
That's what we want. That's what he wants.

Speaker 8 (55:19):
AI.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Move on.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Take it over. He wants 50% of AI companies to
be government run. Think about it. It would come to
a grinding halt.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
To your point, if they got involved in the flat
screen TV industry, they would be $ 7, 000 a TV.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Crazy.

Speaker 6 (55:31):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (55:32):
All right, we'll take a really short break, and we'll
come back to another side of the news. Again, if

the Buffalo Street Extension. 67-year-old Raymond Brown of Rochester had

current conditions are unknown. Police are investigating human remains that

(56:37):
were found along Blind Sotus Bay last week. The Wayne
County Sheriff's Office says that a human foot was found
inside of a hiking boot last Saturday. The Sheriff's Office
is working with authorities in the U.S. and Canada to
identify those remains. An investigation is continuing into the fatal
crash that killed a pedestrian in Ontario County last weekend.
25-year-old Aaron Shahin was issued tickets for driving without insurance,

(57:01):
driving an unregistered vehicle, and more. Related to the fatal crash,
it killed 67-year-old William Obernesser of Rome. The sheriff's office
