about when I see the arts, Jeffrey, I feel a
little at home.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
You like that? You like that? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
They're like wooing me over here. They got their new digs.
We're in the hip part of town. Last night we
went to the hill, had Italian at Mama's. I haven't
had linguini and clam sauce like that since my grandmother
was alive.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
That was.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh, the sauce and the meat balls. And the neighborhood.
You could film, uh broxtail from on the hill in
Saint Louis. I mean the neighborhoodoks just like in the Bronxtail.
Really like the little bar where Sonny ruled from. There's
one like on the corner. It looks like that. There's

(02:47):
a guy that has a u I can't remember what
it's called. Something salami. That's all this guy does is salami.
He specializes in volti, yeah, boti salami. And I'm thinking
of myself.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
That's beautiful. Can you imagine if you lived in the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh you got in the background, honey, hang on, I'm
gonna go take a walk.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
You try to get you know, in shape.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Next thing, you know, you come back with a bound
of fresh Vulty Sammy. Then you swing by cab a
couple of Canoli's. The Bakries look incredible. Oh, having an
enchanting time in Saint Louis.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Unfortunately, the world has followed us no matter where we're at.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
The US officials are on high alert for a potential
iran An attack on Israel. Vice President Kamala Harris will
soon be unveiling her economic policy. Well, that's an interesting
story because you know, normally you have a primary, and
in the primary, there are debates. In the primaries, there
are interviews. I mean, you pretty much know these candidates

(03:48):
because they've earned their party's nomination.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
We don't have that. Now.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
The other thing that's interesting about this story, maybe we'll
kick this around with Davidsonati why would we presume that
her economic policy would be any different than Joe Biden's.
And that brings up this hole where Kamala is flipping
and the strategy of that flipping, and is there wisdom
in that. I'll give you a great example that should

(04:16):
stop us all in our you know spots when we
think about it, So we know we live in a matrix.
We have an extreme left and extreme right and the
two never shall meet. And it's a bigger problem than
the problems we're trying to solve, hands down. So Donald
Trump is for not tip, you know, taxing tips, and

(04:38):
he has that powerful, strong you know, and all the
sea of problems we have. How did that rise? Well,
it did, and the service industry is large, and that's
a big issue in the service. What did Kamala Harris do?
She just came right out and copied it. And then
you have Carng Jean Pierre, you know, saying, oh, the

(04:59):
president and it's always been for this. It was Kamala
Harris as Vice President of the United States who cast
the tie breaking vote that led to the eighty billion
dollars to fund the IRS. And one of their primary
agendas was to tax the service industry tips that are
being hit. They're just out searching for revenue, which is

(05:23):
a whole other conversation.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
We don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Everybody should be in touch with that as a country,
as a state, as a municipality, as a business.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
In your home.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
At some point you got to look at your checkbook,
and I say that figuratively. Nobody really uses their checkbook anymore.
And you have to determine, do I need to make
more money, get a side gig. That could be the solution,
especially to a temporary problem.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
But buy and large.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
For most Americans, you can take a quick glance and say,
you know what, honey, I don't think we have a
revenue problem. I don't think our problem is we need
to make more money. We need to start spending a
little less, doesn't matter how much revenue. And this is
something that Democrats probably don't like Republicans bringing up.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
But John F.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Kennedy was a Democrat, and he was the first to say,
when you get in in inflationary and recessionary situations, the
natural inclination is to raise taxes because you need to
fund government. And the opposite is true, that's the best
time to cut taxes. And when Kennedy explained it, he said,

(06:30):
first of all, but nobody talks like this today. You
ought to go watch it as in nineteen sixty two
speech he made before Congress. First and foremost, when people
go to work and earn money, it's morally theirs. It's
not the government's first and then the government's job to
tell him how much they can get. It's morally their Secondly,

(06:54):
government must trust people with their money. Soon, don't trust
government with my money. I've watched him to spend my
entire lifetime. But the government must trust earth. And so
what Kenny started explaining, the more money that you tax,
that's money taken out of the economy. And Kenny was

(07:14):
trying to explain to them, our job is to grow
the economy, not government. But the profound point he was
making was by lowering taxes and allowing people to keep
more of their money, they spend it, they pay down
their debt, They go out and they shop, and as
they shop, businesses grow. And as businesses grow, they hire

(07:37):
more people. More people working burdened less produces more revenue
for government. Now, it'd be one thing to give a
great theory and speech like that. It's another that they
did it and it worked. Then Reagan came back twenty
years later and did it again and it worked, and

(07:57):
four years ago Donald Trump did it worked. In fact,
in Donald before COVID, the government had record revenue and
it was still in deficit and debt. And then after COVID,
plummeted into debt because it can't keep up with the spending.
And it's not really more complicated than what you would

(08:19):
live at home. Let's say you have six credit cards,
you maxim all out. Now your income is maxed out.
Just paying minimum payments, you're not getting anywhere. In fact,
you're getting locked in slavery and debt. Well, that's what
happens to the government. That's why our debt service is
now higher than our national defense, which was the primary

(08:41):
reason for forming our government in the first place. That's
how much we're majoring in minors and minoring in majors.
And did I mention that our top story today US
officials are on high alert for potential Iranian attack in Israom,
which is a whole other fascinating story today to keep
an eye because we talked to Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano,

(09:02):
for example, and he's saying, you know, this really isn't
the best time for Iran to make a move. Now,
you got a lot of assets sent just off the
coast in the Middle East, and that's more than is necessary.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
To defend Israel.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's enough to take Iran and any launch sites or
military personnel or weaponry off the table, not to mention
take their electric grid down, knock out their infrastructure. So,
as he was explaining, the key is what are the

(09:41):
back channel messages to go? You got all those subs,
all those Tomahawks, and all those f thirty fives. What
is the messaging you're sending. I guess we're on a
Kennedy analogy trip. But it was the back channels with
the Soviet Union that ended the Cuban missile crisis. But
the movement of ships, fleets and air support into the

(10:06):
region that shows you mean business. But somebody's got to
do the business of messaging, and we just don't know
what the backchannel messages are now. As I said to
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, one thing you can say about
old Joe, he don't have to play the game of
internal politics. He doesn't have to worry about the squad
any longer. I think they're there, and I think he'd

(10:30):
use them, so they might be better off waiting to see,
if you know, maybe they get Kamala Harris.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
That's kind of what the showdown is.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
And that's why every day for about eight days and
thank God for this don't mishear me. Every day for
eight years we have been braced for this Iranian retaliation
against Israel, and it hasn't happened. It may not have
happened because it's in their best interest to wait. But
the ships, the planes there there. We don't know what

(11:03):
the back channel messages are. In the US says it's
still on high alert for potential Iranian attack. Joe came
out yesterday. Kind of miss him. I don't know, like
an old uncle. You know, he's got his little moonshot
against cancer. He was on the launch pad at Tulane
University in New Orleans. Committee one hundred and fifty million
dollars in federal grants to fight cancer. We had a

(11:26):
just buried in all of our stories yesterday, a teeny
tiny story cancer among men. Jeffrey Howl remind you you're
a man. Yes, I am, Tony here in Saint Louis
with me.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
He's a man. I'm a man. There's three of us.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Cancer rates are expected to rise eighty six percent among
men between now in twenty fifty. We better do something
to get to the ball, you know what we might
want to get to the cause. And on that I
have a story a little bit later on, and you
knew this was coming. You know the craziness of thinking, oh,
smoking's bad, but vaping's okay.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Maybe not premartal sex is, well, it's okay. Just work
on them.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
You know.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
We come up with these new rules. How they working
out for us? Well, guess what? Smoking is up? Way up?
And I got news for you. Like no generation since
mine have I seen so much smoking as in my
kids generation.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
They all vape.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I hate to say this out loud because they can
probably hear us, but I suspect Old Nick's vapein you
think so well? I caught him with a vape. He
claimed it was his girlfriends. I don't know if i'd
buy that.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Do you walk around with it?

Speaker 5 (12:33):
You know?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
You got to ask me, why are you so?

Speaker 6 (12:36):
No?

Speaker 2 (12:36):
And he doesn't do that. He would never dare get caught.
I don't think he does, but I don't know he might.
He hangs out with some suspicious characters.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
All the cool kids are doing it.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
But uh, you know, his father was a big smoker.
I mean, I figure he's got to have the weakness
a little bit. But yeah, the vaping and smoking, it's
all sky high. What's the paul I Abdue song one
Step Forward, two Steps back. Maybe that's our theme for today.

your morning routine and take the drive to work with you.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
But better late than ever. We're grateful you're here now.
Enjoy the podcast. Coming up in just a few minutes,
we're going to talk to Aaron Royal.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
The biggest shakeup in a century is set to hit
the real estate market. This came up very early on
in the height of inflation. I was saying, you know,
I'm getting killed with tips. You know is one thing
where you know, something that was once fifteen dollars is
now forty. I can't take my three children and my

(17:12):
wife out to dinner without it being like one hundred
and fifty dollars.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
And then the tip. It's thirty. I remember when the
bill was thirty, So you know, what do you do?

Speaker 2 (17:22):
You know, just because it hasn't changed the service, just
because they're charging me more for everything on the plate,
the plate isn't any heavier for them. So I always
like to tip twenty percent, but twenty percent of an
inflated bill, you know. And now, and now we've all
noticed everybody has the little screen they turn. Now even

(17:46):
when you're doing takeout, they want to tip. And so
I said, you know, people are going to take a
look at tipping and have to adjust things if this maintains.
And then it dawned on me, look at the how
HO was in crisis that's been created. So of course

(18:08):
it's an inventory shortage, but it's caused by inflation and
interest rates and then the escalation of home values.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
So sure, I'm sitting on a house.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
If I sold it, I'd have a lot of money,
but it wouldn't buy as much house and it'd be
at a higher interest rate.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
So everybody's just staying put.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, that's killing inventory, and you're not building to keep
up with inventory. So because homes are greatly inflated at
a time of inflation. What do we do with things
like realtor commission? Well, they're about to change that. Aaron's
got all the story for you coming up. I thought

(18:46):
the most interesting story of the day. And it's kind
of like we have a theme growing here and we
didn't even plan it. It just worked out this way.
You all know how the fighting goes online, you know.
It starts with you do a post and then somebody
disagrees with you in the comments section.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Then they start going back. We see these fights every day.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
You don't see them as much anymore, you know why, Well,
that's how the matrix has formed. Everybody's unfriended. Everybody that
disagrees with them doesn't have anything to do with anybody
that disagrees with them. It's all us versus them, and
we are the divided States of American. It's never more
evident than on social media. But that's how it used
to be. You see people these long threads back and forth,
fighting and fighting, and then you just unfriend them and

(19:29):
throw them out of your life. What do you do
when that's your marriage? And I think there's a much
bigger picture to that. My wife and I disagree on
a couple of issues, where she's you know, leans a
different direction than me. But by and large essentials the
big things, you know, like God, family, country, we're in agreement.

(19:52):
I mean, you know, I just I can't imagine marrying
someone who has all different beliefs. I mean, opposite is
a tract. But they make each other miserable more than happy.
But this is a real problem in America. We're seeing
the divorce rate increase, and it's over this kind of
political divisiveness. And one of the areas of great contention

(20:15):
is our obsession. We can't focus on God and country
in a way that unifies us, they divide us. So
it's the godly versus those who reject God and think
he's a myth and think you're a weak person for
having a crutch of a god. Monogamous people versus those
who think you're ridiculous. How can one person make you

(20:37):
happy for an entire life? And so we have all
these different divisions, but none bigger than sexuality and gender.
That and global warming is shoved down your throat more
than anything. So here's an Axio story on boys versus girls'
elections intensifying. And then I started reading and there is.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Some of it.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
But watch how they write this is the most gendered
election America has ever seen. Really, Donald Trump took on
Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. That's not that long ago.
It's only eight years ago. The split has always and
the split is only deep in now that Kamala Harris
has entered the race.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Why it matters.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Gender is rapidly becoming one of the starkest divisions in
American politics.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
And that's the point.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I was just making gender and sexuality probably the two
most along with abortion and life, divisive issues in America today.
Young men and women used to have similar voting habits,
but over the last two decades, women have become more

(21:46):
steadily left and men have turned steadily right. What fascinated
me about this story is we're always talking about the matrix.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
And how you.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Eventually weed everybody out and then all that's left is
journalism's dad. You don't have even journalism existing, But nobody
ever brings up how news consumption is dead. That's how
these networks get away with what they get away with.
You're not the kind of consumer you need to be.

(22:23):
If people lost credibility, they'd stop having viewers, they'd get fired.
But we've managed to find a way to isolate that
and protect that. So, yeah, everybody loves seeing an MSNBC
thinks Fox is the devil, and everybody loves Fox thinks
MSNBC and CBS is the devil, and the networks and
the newspapers along with it. So I knew how that

(22:48):
all worked, and now we basically just have narratives and
narrative repeaters. Doesn't matter if I'm at a network site,
doesn't matter if I'm at a social media site.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's all I see Facebook.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Friends who all believe the same thing, watch the same thing,
listen to the same thing, and share the same stories
over and over, and there's a whole other universe doing
it on the left. I never thought about measuring if
we're having I don't have it experiential in my life

(23:26):
with my wife, our friends, or to have seen it.
But is there a steady movement maybe kick this around
with David Znati of women going left and men going right?
Because I can tell you this in our third hour today,
we're going to talk to an author who can prove
divorces are on the rise, and politics is a big

(23:47):
new reason. Used to be financial problems were I think
number one. Then if somebody is unfaithful, that would be
number two. Number three is I'm just sick of your face.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
No, I don't know what it is.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
But now politics and political differences, it's starting to increase
their divorce ry. This is gonna be a fascinating conversation
with Warren Ferrell. And by the way, if you're not

if you're just waking up, these are your top five
stories of the day. Well, Vice President Kamala Harris has
plans to unveil her economic policy in Raleigh, North Carolina,
on Friday and over. This would have been done if
you were actually in a primary and won a primary

(24:44):
and had debates and talk to voters along the primary.
But that's so old fashioned. So Kamala has been coronated
and now it's time to tell you what she would
do if elected.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Mark Mayfield has.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
More It will be the first policy centered speech the
Democratic presidential nominee since she entered the race for the
White House after President Biden withdrew. The Harris campaign said
the vice president will outline a plan to lower costs
for middle class families and to take on corporate price gouging.
Over the weekend, Harris said she supports eliminating taxes on tips,

(25:17):
a position also held by former President Trump.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Singers hate it when you use their music in campaigns.
I guess cops apparently don't like you using their face either.
Here's Brian Schuck with our Road.

Speaker 9 (25:30):
To the White House to Larry County Sheriff Mike Boudreau
says the Democratic presidential candidate did not get his permission
to use him in an ad that he says contradicts
Harris's record on crime.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
And I wasn't comfortable with my image being there.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
With the apparents that I'm standing there in support of
Kamala Harris for president.

Speaker 9 (25:50):
The images were from a press conference touting the takedown
of drug lords at the US Mexico border. Boudreau says
Harris showed up, spoke at the podium, and left without

A former Israeli hostage negotiator, described it to me as
where they said, Okay, we'll go into the first wave
of a ceasefire agreement, and then we'll talk about the
possibility of whether or not this would be permanent or not.
So there's some different views on that, but Netanyahu in
his office in terms of saying whether or not they've
added new things, they're saying no. They were trying to
clarify it.

Speaker 12 (29:02):
Breton Frank A Tonnesseee My Morning show is your Morning
Show with Michael Delgorno by.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, Michael del Gorda, Well, I've kind of felt this
one coming from a mile away, with all the escalating
prices of homes, kind of like you know what happens
when we're at a restaurant now dinners. It used to
be eighty dollars for the family or one hundred and fifty,
and the tips go up with it. It's not like
the plates are any heavier. So what to do with
realtors and commissions. Well, it's one of the biggest shakeups

(29:28):
in a century set to hit the real estate agents
this week.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Aaron Rayal's here with the story. Good morning, Aaron, bye.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, So this is pretty incredible. August six, seventeenth, seventeenth,
not the sixteenth to seventeenth, that's when these kick in.

Speaker 14 (29:41):
The new rules.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
They're being rolled out to overhaul the way that realtors
get paid. Sellers historically charged got charged about six percent
of their home purchase price, and this was intended to
be shared with the buyer's agent. You kild your home
firm million bucks, you split sixty thousand two ways.

Speaker 14 (29:59):
That's how it worked.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
But that has no longer that will no longer be the.

Speaker 14 (30:03):
Case after August seventeenth.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
There's two parts of this rule that are massive. Number one,
the big changes prohibiting agents compensation from being included in
multiple listing services basically like the databases that the realtors use.
And the second, it's going to require the buyer's agent
to discuss their compensation upfront, and then before you tour
a home, you need to have a written agreement saying

(30:25):
you know what's up and you can negotiate that six percent.
This already exists in eighteen states, but it's now being
rolled out or nationally. And long story short, real estate
commissions they believe could fall between twenty five and fifty percent.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
So they've always been negotiable. Though if you know the
seller's aware, you know that can be done as the
home is listing.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I can remember one.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Case where we negotiated a two and a half two
and a half split to knock a percent off, So
I mean that's always existed, but this is more of
like the upfront kind of I don't know what to
compare it to, but.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, I think that that's always existed, but not everyone
knew about it, and you're kind of like, let's particularly
first time buyers, you're going into your home and like,
you know, this is all of your money, and you're like, oh,
this is how they do it, okay, And and you're like,
I guess I'm not paying if I'm the buyer, Like,
I guess I'm not. Oh, so the seller will have
to pay this and you just kind of back off

(31:23):
without thinking like, oh, yeah, but that list price you're paying,
they kind of bake that six percent into the cake,
which is why it's higher. So they think it potentially.

Speaker 14 (31:31):
This could bring down the price of homes.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
But then also it leaves space for alternative business models,
things like flat fee and discount brokerage.

Speaker 14 (31:39):
They're likely to thrive.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
And then there's also this marketplace already it's called it's
called Ready R E d Y, There's there's several others,
but they allow real estate agents to actually bid on
home listings. So that means that agents could essentially just
pay a home seller for the opportunity.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Here here's where it gets interesting.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah, because you I had price of homes because it
could impact that I had. You know, there'll always be
somebody in the market that'll start saying, and we'll sell
your home for less only two percent, and they'll start
competing for it, and then others will have to respond,
and then there'll just be some that will hold there.
If you want the best, you got to pay for

(32:18):
the best. But it should have the effect, and you
mentioned twenty five percent reduction is what they're expecting. It
should drive down commission rates for realtors, which is going
to be significant to their income, and I guess could
have an impact on bringing down the price of homes
with it, but probably more significantly an impact on the realtors.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
I think, oh for sure.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Listen, a lot of realtors are going to walk away.

Speaker 14 (32:43):
They're just going to find another job.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
They actually think these new rules are likely to reward
experience realtors and kind of shut out younger agents. But
I also think that whenever there's chaos and.

Speaker 16 (32:54):
Shake up like this in an industry, yes, some people
will be left in a bad place, and there's also
the opportunity to innovate. And I don't doubt that we're
going to see some serious winners in this.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Listen, if you look at even travel agents, I've read
an article the other day that they're coming back, like
there's always room for expertise in a certain space that's
never going to go away. But I think there's a
lot of relators out there.

Speaker 14 (33:18):
There's a lot of wonderful realators.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
I adore my realator, and there's a lot of terrible
ones out there, you know.

Speaker 14 (33:23):
I think this is going to kind of sift through
the bad ones.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
He just took me down a nostalgic road, one of
those moments I could say, I'm old enough to remember
when I used to go to my travel agent and
she did everything. Now now it's a guy. Now that
it's a guy named Expedia. All right, Eric, realtors, beware
this is coming. I think the easier solution would be
stop overspending, which causes inflation then raises interest rates. We
can get the interest rates down, build some homes, people

(33:47):
start releasing their owns, get the inventory up, and we
don't have to go to any of this. We can
get back to the way things were. But here it comes,
and that's effective. What did you say, was it August nineteenth?
August seventeen seventeen.

Speaker 7 (33:59):
