Speaker 1 (00:00):
My news rounds up information overload hour. Here is our
(00:02):
toll free telephone number if you want to be a
part of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety four
to one Sean if you want to join us. Really
fascinating comments and a bit of a history lesson shockingly
from Bill Maher. I mean, really rooted in truth, history
and understanding of reality. I mean it sounds great. Everything
is going to be free, Everything's free, free, free, free, free.
(00:26):
And so he delivered this really profound in my view
warning about Mamdani and how Democrats must recognize as Zora
Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately it's the
Republican Party. And I said when he got elected, he
will be the face of the Democratic Party. AOC now
is exerting the power that I've been telling you for
(00:49):
years that she really had within Democratic Party ranks. It's
very real. Pelosi was speaker in name only. Now Hakeem
Jeffries is leader in name only. Chucky Schumer's leader in
name only in his career is all but finished. His
announcement today that in fact, a Mamdannie ally has filed
paperwork to run against the House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries
(01:14):
and Kathy Hokeel had to admit the Governor of New
York that uh she, oh yeah, I think these mam
donnie ideas are really good. If she wants any shot
every election, He's basically going to have to ballot the
altar of Mamdani because he knows that Mamdani will have
enough power to wipe out any chances she has of
(01:35):
even being the nominee, never mind winning. Wouldn't even be
surprised if he ran against her and said, you know what,
I can't do it as New York mayor. I really
need to be the governor, and that would be a
you know, that would be the end of New York
as we know it. But let's listen to what Bill
Maher had to say.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Democrats must recognize that Zeran mam Donnie is the future
of the party. Unfortunately it's the Republican Party. We've run
this experiment many times and the results are always obvious.
In nineteen ninety Venezuela was wealthier than Poland, but then
Poland finally free of Soviet style economics when all in
(02:12):
on capitalism, and now their economy is as big as Japan,
and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes. Meanwhile,
Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Schevez's socialism for the twenty
first century, which turned out to be like socialism in
the last century or any century, a mess. It turned
(02:35):
one of Latin America's richest countries into one of its poorest.
Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, eight million people fleeing.
If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel,
you're in for a rude awokening, a rude awokening.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's actually that was not a mistake on his part.
He said it purposefully and he's just not wrong. Daniel B.
Martino is a fellow with them, in a half institute
immigrant from Venezuela. I mean, think about Venezuela. You go
Shavez and socialism. Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America.
Now it's the poorest. I'll never forget it was Jorge
(03:12):
Ramos that actually went to Venezuela. Remember that video that
he showed of people eating out of garbage cans. They
have so much in terms of natural resources, they were
so wealthy. They lost and estimated eight million people that
fled that country, and the idea that somehow this is
this is going to be a game changer. And again,
(03:33):
what is the goal of of Grandpa Bernie AOC, the squad,
the New Green Deal Democrats, Socialist Marxist Democrats. They want
to implement all of these policies that have been tried
and that have failed every time they have been tried,
and every time you get the same predictable results. You know,
I wrote that chapter the History of socialism, a history
(03:57):
of failures. You know, whatever name, whatever form, whatever manifestation
it takes on, it always ends the same way, and
that is unfulfilled promises. People end up being poorer than
when they started. And it also ends in a loss
of freedom that people give up in the name of
false security. And you are empowering government to be your
(04:18):
savior instead of living with truth, liberty and freedom and
capitalism which keeps everybody honest and brings out the best
and everybody ideally. And what's so fascinating to me is
we keep going back to dumb and dumber and stupid. Anyway, Daniel,
welcome to the program, Glad you're here.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Sean and I remember actually that interview that you referred
to with Heramos and Maduro, And I also remember how
Heramos a month ago interviewed Mam Danny and asked him
if he thought Maduro was electedtor and then Mam Danny
didn't say that he was.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
He refused to.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh he didn't. Now what was life for you in
Venezuela and when did you flee?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I left in twenty sixteen, And look, it's I think
my story is really not remarkable in that it's just
a story of a normal middle class men as well
and family that in the early two thousands we made
maybe two thousand and three thousand dollars a month, and
by twenty sixteen, when I left and then my family did,
we were making one hundred dollars a month. That is
what they did to us.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, well, I mean for the people, your friends maybe
family that still remain in Venezuela, what's like for them?
And what was like life like before Hugo shavas well?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
What it's like is, you know, you go from having
a car, going to school, you know, having water, a home,
a normal life like even most people in the United
States used to have in that time, and then suddenly
there is no electricity for a day. Certainly there is
no water for maybe a week, and then you have
(05:50):
to carry jocks of water up the stairs to your apartment.
And then suddenly there are no teachers in high school
because the teachers are living in the country, and so
classes dismiss or you have to line up for food sometimes,
and then you have to line up every day, and
life just becomes like going from the first world to
the third world.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, I mean, and you lived that out, and you
came here in what year.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Twenty sixteen? And yes, I finished high school in Venezuela.
I was seventeen years old when I came. I remember,
you know, I even have a picture of myself holding
a huge pack of cash, and that was the price
of a movie ticket. People began my dad too. We
began wearing backpacks and the backpacks will be full of
cash because of the hyperinflation, kind of like German in
(06:34):
the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's pretty remarkable. And when you got to the United States,
tell me about your life today, because you've been here
now nine years. How has your life changed? And tell
me what you're doing with your life. I mean, you're
at the Manhattan Institute. Obviously you're well educated, and obviously
you're very smart.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Hope hopefully they think so. Look what I did is
I first went to Indie, and I had never been
to the Midwest. I had come to the US before
as a tourist, but then I moved to Indiana and
it was a wonderful time. I mean, the biggest change
immediately was just the safety right, but as well as
a very dangerous country, and just being able to walk
(07:15):
in the street without the fear of being kidnapped or
robbed or even just killed was a big quality of
life upgrade. The other upgrade was just how much money
money was worth. I remember my first job. I was
a receptionist on my college campus, and I was making
eleven dollars an hours on This was twenty sixteen, and
I thought I was a multi millionaire because that was
(07:37):
so difficult to make in Venezuela. And I remember the
first time I would drew some cash from my checking
account and I was just flabagasted. Now, obviously I make
much more than that, but you know, I have a
different appreciation for things, just the basic things of life
that I think a lot of Americans stack for granted,
and that's why they end up supporting the policies that
(08:00):
lead us into the disaster that I fled from.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Were you able to become a citizen at this point,
I assume yes, No, not yet.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I'm on my permanent residency.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Well, I hope people hear you loud and clear. I
hope people understand it because I can write it down
in a book and I can communicate it on radio
and TV all I want. However, it's stories like yours
that really bring it home because you lived it. We
really appreciate your time. Daniel de Martino, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Of course, Thanks San.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You know, if you listen very closely, Daniel lived it.
I've met many people in my life that have lived it.
The Mamdani's, the squad, the aocs, the Katie Wilson's, the
New Seattle mayor. You know. This is where they want
to take the country, regardless of its history of failure.
Here's AOC claiming Trump voters are pulling her aside, claiming
(08:51):
they want to join this. I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
I want to say this right now. I fully welcome
Trump voters into our coalition. And I know that sounds
crazy to some people, but just hear me out. I
cannot tell you it.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Just happened to me, like two weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I can't tell you how many times someone has pulled
me aside and said either I was once a big
Trump voter and a Trump supporter, and I watched Fox
News every day. But then I started to kind of
expand my world and where I got information. And now
I've learned, and now I've changed, and I'm with you
(09:33):
and I learned from you.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Let's get to our busy phones. Jordan is in Texas.
God bless Texas. Jordan. How are you glad you called?
Thanks for checking in, sir.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
Yes, sir. How are you doing today, Sean?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
So, first of all, love your interview. Do with JD
events around ways of working and AI and everything else.
And I would say that I agree with you that
we need to get back to the office, but I
want to propose a challenge if you don't mind, sir,
and that show.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Go right ahead. By the way, I'm not I think
for government workers it's important, but I can tell you
in my business with my workers and people that work
on this show, my team. I know who's working and
not working just based on what I see every day,
don't I don't have to see it, I know it correct.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
And I'm in the consulting business as well, so I'm
right there with you here. Here's what I would say
about going back to the office. It's one thing to
go back to the office and do meetings all day.
It's another to be a more of a production society.
And here's what I mean by that. You rightly point
out that AI is here, it's coming. My challenge to
everyone in corporate America who you know goes to the
(10:42):
office or is working from home right now, think about
ways that you can bring insights and strategy to your
organization because with agentic AI coming, I'm seeing a lot
of accounting, finance, back office jobs where edgentic AI can
you know, do accounts tayable pretty well? Right? It can
book travel for you and kind of be an assistant.
(11:04):
So my challenge to vice president of Vance when he
mentioned how you know there's gonna be a lot of
high paying jobs come out of this, I do agree,
but people need to start thinking about learning AI, learning
about how to improve your current processes and current ways
of working today. And if you are in the office
(11:26):
doing that, I'm all for it. But if we're going
back to the office just to be sitting on teams,
meetings and zoom calls all day and writing emails and
doing monotonous work, what's the point? And I think the
point is well, Number one, if you're not in the office,
that's a great way for your employer to say, are
you actually providing the value you need? You have probably gone.
(11:47):
Two is when you're in there, what are you actually
doing and what value are bringing the organization? What have
your thoughts on that?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Listen, I want to put it this way because this
is how profound a time we're living in. I want
people to view this is the we just discovered electricity moment.
Now that may sound insane to people at this moment,
to hear that I am telling you, I am not wrong.
I am telling you you've got to prepare for it.
(12:15):
I am telling young people they're going to be and
people that are in jobs, a lot of jobs are
going to be replaced. The interesting part is I'm very
close friends with one of Elan's best friends. He believes
in the end, the net gain of jobs is going
to be phenomenal, but it's got to be the right jobs.
So it's going to be a transitional economy in the
(12:36):
next decade. And I just care too much about all
of you in this audience that you be ready and
you be prepared, and frankly, I don't care what industry,
what business you're in, you better be adopting AI as
part of your daily routine and part of what you
do every day because it'll make you better and more efficient. Anyway, Look,
(12:57):
there are stories about people that are doing three full
time jobs from home and they use AI to expedite
all of their work, and they do it all successfully
and their employers have no idea what they're doing. I mean,
that's how efficient they have and how sophisticated they've got
at it. Now they have three full time paying jobs
(13:17):
that they're able to accomplish their tasks. Loved employees great
at what they do. But in part they're getting all
of this assistance because of new technology. I mean, I
give them a plus plus for being creative, don't you.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
I completely agree. You probably don't want a name drop
them when the irs may be hearing it and they may
be come knock on the.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Door and no, no, no, no, I'm not saying they're not
paying their taxes. I'm just telling you fair. It is
not telling you know, other employee their employer that they're
doing two other full time jobs.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
No, I completely agree with you. I completely agree. But no.
I So the point I'm making is exactly what you're making,
which is whatever profession you're in, document what you do.
Document the process of what your job is from start
to finish. Don't just be siloed sitting behind a keyboard
looking at a spreadsheet all day. Zoom out, think about
(14:08):
the business solistically, think about how you're getting information from
your different peers, and start putting together a strategy for
how you're going to bring AI to your organization. But
don't stop. There be the person that is going to say, hey,
not only did I think this through, not only did
I document this. Not only am I bringing this to
the organization, but I'm going to lead it because I
(14:29):
took the training, I went the extra mile, I did
night school, I did whatever, and I know everything there
is to know about this agent to AI, and I'm
going to lead the charge in my department of my
organization to adopt this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Dude. Like, but the sooner you adopt and absorb it,
the better off you're going to be, and you'll have
a competitive advantage. Just amount of time, though, I've got
to run great points, great calls that we're We're going
to have a lot more conversations on this in the
days and weeks ahead, I promise, and next year leading
into the midterms. Anyway, appreciate you call my friend eight
(15:05):
hundred nine to FOURT one show is on a number
more of your calls coming up straight ahead. How much
time are you spending on artificial intelligence?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I mean, I hate it, but more than I care to.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What do you mean you hate it? Why do you
hate it?
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Well?
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I feel like what I'd love to do is get
people out of their phones, out of their screens, out
of all the things. You know, it's not being used
in the way it was intended. It's making people dumber.
People are having conversations with their phones, are having conversations
with screens instead of having conversations with each other.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
They're having virtual boyfriends and girlfriends.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
You know what I'm saying. Like it's a whole new
it takes a blow up doll to a whole new level.
It's just I don't know. It's not my thing.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh, there are virtual relationships that people actually think is real.
It's so bizarre to me.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
But like, you know, I saw this thing the other day.
It was a commercial for chat GBT. And don't get
me wrong, I've taken things I've written and run it
through there and thought, oh, I guess I could say
it that way. But I don't like cut and paste it.
Then I like rework it and take ideas from it.
But there's this girl and she can't figure out how
to get her schedule right for school right, and this,
(16:13):
she asked chat chat GPT, how can I find time
to breathe and center while I'm studying?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Shut up?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
You're at school, read a book, drink a cup of
coffee the way we did it. You know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You're you are You're like one of these stubborn, very
old people stuck in their ways. You got to get
stuck in my waist.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You are.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Listen, my grandma, when you said you said that, Yes,
I don't mind.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
I don't mind. I don't mind. Acclimating. Acclamation is fine,
Integration is fine. A complete and utter takeover, where it's
you and a bot I'm out. I'm not about it.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So like, you're not going to be dating or having
a relationship on this happily married You're not. You don't
want to do it old school relationship with a bot.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
I want to meet new friends because I was at
a party, because I was at a bar, because I
had was at a soccer game for my kids, or
a football game for the kids, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
What normost Listen, I am telling you you're going to
be the reluctant resistant grandma and everybody's life. And everyone's
going to roll their eyes. Oh man, she's.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Stuck to the I'm all in. Then I'll take I'll
take up crocheting. I'll be the best crocheting grandma you
ever met.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm all in, the greatest crocheting grandma of all time.
That's that's a great way to you know, you're a
very young person. But if that's how you're looking at
I am going to adjust, adapt, embrace technology, and I'm
going to do it with enthusiasm for the sake of
our audience. Now, I will tell you one one one
(17:49):
consequence of this is there will be a desire, an
innate desire of people to want to return to certain
things like crocheting and doing puzzles and just turning off
their devices and getting away from all of that. I
think that's called balance that you know, at some point
we're gonna have to, you know, have that discussion. Let's
(18:11):
get to our phones. Eight hundred and ninety four one,
Shawn our number if you want to be a part
of the program. David in Florida. David, how are you
glad you called? Sir?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Well?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Hither Sean, how are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Well? I wanted to tell you about the elephant in
the room. I represent a tool shop that we have
apprentices with the Department of Labor and it's been seventy
five years ago we started at you know, we talk
about the billionaires and the politicians and all that that
I have taken in tenth graders, sophomres, both male and
(18:43):
female through a different business every week with the parents
because that take the parents along with me and they
see skilled trades businesses that require like locational schools, trade
schools and things like that, and then the other employees
helped team those kids in the apprenticeship program. Any company
(19:03):
can start an apprenticeship program with the Department of Labor.
They can handwrite what it is they're going to offer
those people to learn in four years, and in four
years they become a journeyman.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And I work.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
We're mostly in tool shops. You're mostly on union that
I worked with a good friend that was in the
carpenters union, and they talked about building houses and all
these young people and their parents went through to learn
about what that takes to do that. And you know,
these young people are tenth graders and then they go
to vocational school in the eleventh and twelfth grade. Then
(19:38):
they normally they come in and work part time with us.
And the parents are amazed at the wages that these
kids can learn, because if you compare that to a
college education. A college education, you tell me how much
you spend four years getting a bachelor's degree, and with
these kids make fifty thousand dollars a year for four
years in a row, plus we pay for an associate degree.
(20:00):
Now I think at the age of twenty two, there's
a half a million dollars difference in where these two
people are. And the parents are also very impressed because
they've been told all along, if you don't go to college,
you'll never amount to anything. Businesses are willing to invest
a huge amount of money to train people so that
they're going to be competitive when we bring all these
(20:24):
companies from overseas and even the companies we have. Now
we're a shortage of housing right now. Who's going to
build those houses? And that the Carpenters Union is really
great about adress.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I hate to tell you. I'm going to tell you
who's going to build those houses. Robots are going to
build of seventy percent of them, seventy five percent of them.
And I've seen, I have the videos. I've seen it.
I'll show it on TV.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Well, you know what, who told the robots what to do?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Well, that's a great listen. I'm all in for the
trades because you know, finished work is going to be
finished work, and I'm not sure you know they're anywhere
near the point where you're going to have you know,
let's put it this way. I've seen videos of two
different technology companies where they can build seventy percent of
(21:13):
the home or almost one hundred percent of the exteriors
that are including doing the roofing, doing the framing of
the house. You know, it is more perfect than ever
than what any man can ever do. They can wire
the house or do the basic wiring of the house,
put in insulation and put up the wallboard, pray the
(21:34):
paint the wallboard. It's that sophisticated and that technology exists now.
And I think you're right. We're down about between four
and a half to six million homes in this country
that will need to be built. And I would argue
that that probably is going to be the process that
we lean into. Now, who's gonna now, for example, who's
(21:54):
going to repair jet engines for airlines? Who's gonna I mean,
there's there's going to be the adaptation of all this
technology with real life circumstances. And I think, you know,
you're still going to need people that understand construction to
make sure that the project's going well, and you're going
(22:15):
to need the guys that go in and you know,
do the finish work. Do I think eventually that some
of those jobs too will be replaced. Yeah, it's going
to be a changing economy. And I'm not trying to
scare people. I'm just trying to get people in the
right mindset that they're going to have to make they're
going to we're all going to have to adapt. Let
me give you an example of a company that didn't adapt.
(22:36):
Remember Kodak. When we were growing up, everyone had a
little Kodak camera, Remember all that. Yeah, yeah, you know
what year they I think they went bankrupt, Linda, you
can look this up. Ass roc your favorite thing to do.
I think it was twenty twelve. You want to know why,
because they never adapted to the digital age and technology
that came with. Everybody now has the ability to take
(22:59):
a picture you're on their iPhone. They never adopted, you know,
you look at the introduction of the you know, for example,
there are more ways that people can listen to this
radio show than ever before, watch this my TV show
than ever before. And it's just a matter of being
every place and sort of flooding the zone and embracing
(23:20):
all of the platforms that are available to us. And
you know, I'm only saying this for because I want
to really put a lot of time and attention into
this for this audience. Why Because I want this audience
to be more prepared than anyone else that you might
know in life. If that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Well, yeah, but I want to tell you something. You're
you're wrong about some things. You talk about somebody building
houses that are seventy five percent, but somebody had to decide,
and one person that's skilled now can do the job
of five people used to do it, because they have
still had to dress what space they're going to put
it in, what their requirements are. They do all the
(24:07):
technical stuff, like our tool shop. They look at a
CNC machine and they call it automatic machine. It's not
an automatic machine. There's a guy back there. I understood
how to program that. So all the tolerances, the blueprints,
planned the whole thing, programmed thing so that when it
started up, somebody walks mind says, oh my gosh, that
have machines running itself, you know. But yeah, we'll be
(24:30):
smarter in the future. But we still have to have
the people in the ISO programs at the federal government.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
And we got a preview of coming attractions. Did you
ever see the old automobile manufacturing assembly lines and you
had all the workers on that line. Right, If you
look at a line today, what does it look like.
It's mostly all robotics, correct, those robots have but behind
(24:56):
the scenes, yes, you're correct, But if you look at
the actual mas, you will labor. Many of those jobs
went away. You do concede that, right, well.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Not in our business. I mean the touring has improved,
that's right, and that we can get more done than
we used to do. But the wages have probably increased
more than even academy of people that.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Because it's going to take a new level of sophistication
for the people that are going to have those jobs,
and I want this audience to be prepared for it.
I think that's going to be all part of what
you're actually saying. I don't think as far as part
as you're saying. But anyway, it's going to be an
ongoing discussion. This is not ending. I promise. Back to
our phones. Appreciate it. David. Let's say hi to Lou
(25:38):
and Tennessee. Lou, how are you?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Very fine? Very fine? I don't like you. I can
talk about swell Well and his moronic sense of history
regarding the White House. I mean, these people who think
that this extension is something bad just mystifies mean who
absolutely mystiflies me. Do you have any sense of history
(26:01):
regarding what happened in eighteen twelve or Harry trumanly having.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
To leave the White House for.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
All those years because he had a renovated or be balled.
It's just stupefying that they're so stupid in their mindset.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
They just hate Trump. Trump derangement syndrome. Trump lives in
their head.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
For example, tomorrow, the MBS, the Saudi Crown Prince will
be at the White House. Had they had one big,
beautiful ballroom, they could have sixteen hundred people and if
it's raining, well, I mean, you make a good point,
but there is one one room. I think they can
hold like one hundred and fifty two hundred people max.
(26:43):
And that's it's not I don't know if it's what
room it's actually called in the White House. I've been
in it. It's kind of where they have their White
House Christmas parties, which I have not been to under
President Trump, but I went to under My kids wanted
to see the White House, so I took them when
George Bush was I wasn't invited in the Obama years.
I wasn't invited in the Biden years. I don't really
(27:05):
I didn't know if I'd ever make it back there,
to be honest. But it's not a place like, for example,
have I had an opportunity to go to tomorrow's thing.
I gotta work tomorrow. I can't. I don't have time
to take off. I gotta work. But yeah, they just
hate Trump. And yeah, we talked about every instance in
which the White House have been renovated, under every president
(27:26):
that renovated it and the impact it's had, and I
think it's been positive. Nothing was said, Nope, nothing. You're
right they hate Trump anyway, appreciate it. Eight hundred and
nine foot one sewn Rod Utah Next Sean Hannity Show. Rod,
you're on the air. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Hey, Jo, your show, long time listener, first time.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Caller, Thank you? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Been under health exsurance exchange and prices are just through
the roof, as we all know. So I've been trying
to figure out a way what can be done to
lower health insurance or to lower health care costs. And
my number one idea is we need to mandate and
(28:10):
I hate that term, but we need to mandate that
everyone has an annual physical because we catch pre existing
conditions early. It's going to drive the cost of healthcare
down by the billions. I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Gary Brecker told me. He's in the health, wellness, fitness,
nutrition space that if you live five more years, the
odds of you living to be over one hundred go
up exponentially. That's going to wrapling us up for today.
A great canneday. Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel,
(28:51):
Eric Trump, Alex Clark, Horace Cooper, Steve Hilton. We have
a major scandal emerging or it was the fire department
in LA told to stand down during the Pacific Palisades fires.
And why can't people get permits to build their homes up?
Also doctor Drew Pinski, Lawrence Jones, LJ, nine Eastern City DVR,
(29:11):
Tonight Hannity, Fox News. We'll see you tonight, back here
tomorrow as we give you news and information you won't
get from the legacy medium. Mob, have a great night,
My news rounds up information overload hour. Here is our
(00:02):
toll free telephone number if you want to be a
part of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety four
to one Sean if you want to join us. Really
fascinating comments and a bit of a history lesson shockingly
from Bill Maher. I mean, really rooted in truth, history
and understanding of reality. I mean it sounds great. Everything
is going to be free, Everything's free, free, free, free, free.
(00:26):
And so he delivered this really profound in my view
warning about Mamdani and how Democrats must recognize as Zora
Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately it's the
Republican Party. And I said when he got elected, he
will be the face of the Democratic Party. AOC now
is exerting the power that I've been telling you for
(00:49):
years that she really had within Democratic Party ranks. It's
very real. Pelosi was speaker in name only. Now Hakeem
Jeffries is leader in name only. Chucky Schumer's leader in
name only in his career is all but finished. His
announcement today that in fact, a Mamdannie ally has filed
paperwork to run against the House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries
(01:14):
and Kathy Hokeel had to admit the Governor of New
York that uh she, oh yeah, I think these mam
donnie ideas are really good. If she wants any shot
every election, He's basically going to have to ballot the
altar of Mamdani because he knows that Mamdani will have
enough power to wipe out any chances she has of
(01:35):
even being the nominee, never mind winning. Wouldn't even be
surprised if he ran against her and said, you know what,
I can't do it as New York mayor. I really
need to be the governor, and that would be a
you know, that would be the end of New York
as we know it. But let's listen to what Bill
Maher had to say.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Democrats must recognize that Zeran mam Donnie is the future
of the party. Unfortunately it's the Republican Party. We've run
this experiment many times and the results are always obvious.
In nineteen ninety Venezuela was wealthier than Poland, but then
Poland finally free of Soviet style economics when all in
(02:12):
on capitalism, and now their economy is as big as Japan,
and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes. Meanwhile,
Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Schevez's socialism for the twenty
first century, which turned out to be like socialism in
the last century or any century, a mess. It turned
(02:35):
one of Latin America's richest countries into one of its poorest.
Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, eight million people fleeing.
If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel,
you're in for a rude awokening, a rude awokening.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's actually that was not a mistake on his part.
He said it purposefully and he's just not wrong. Daniel B.
Martino is a fellow with them, in a half institute
immigrant from Venezuela. I mean, think about Venezuela. You go
Shavez and socialism. Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America.
Now it's the poorest. I'll never forget it was Jorge
(03:12):
Ramos that actually went to Venezuela. Remember that video that
he showed of people eating out of garbage cans. They
have so much in terms of natural resources, they were
so wealthy. They lost and estimated eight million people that
fled that country, and the idea that somehow this is
this is going to be a game changer. And again,
(03:33):
what is the goal of of Grandpa Bernie AOC, the squad,
the New Green Deal Democrats, Socialist Marxist Democrats. They want
to implement all of these policies that have been tried
and that have failed every time they have been tried,
and every time you get the same predictable results. You know,
I wrote that chapter the History of socialism, a history
(03:57):
of failures. You know, whatever name, whatever form, whatever manifestation
it takes on, it always ends the same way, and
that is unfulfilled promises. People end up being poorer than
when they started. And it also ends in a loss
of freedom that people give up in the name of
false security. And you are empowering government to be your
(04:18):
savior instead of living with truth, liberty and freedom and
capitalism which keeps everybody honest and brings out the best
and everybody ideally. And what's so fascinating to me is
we keep going back to dumb and dumber and stupid. Anyway, Daniel,
welcome to the program, Glad you're here.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Sean and I remember actually that interview that you referred
to with Heramos and Maduro, And I also remember how
Heramos a month ago interviewed Mam Danny and asked him
if he thought Maduro was electedtor and then Mam Danny
didn't say that he was.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
He refused to.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh he didn't. Now what was life for you in
Venezuela and when did you flee?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I left in twenty sixteen, And look, it's I think
my story is really not remarkable in that it's just
a story of a normal middle class men as well
and family that in the early two thousands we made
maybe two thousand and three thousand dollars a month, and
by twenty sixteen, when I left and then my family did,
we were making one hundred dollars a month. That is
what they did to us.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, well, I mean for the people, your friends maybe
family that still remain in Venezuela, what's like for them?
And what was like life like before Hugo shavas well?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
What it's like is, you know, you go from having
a car, going to school, you know, having water, a home,
a normal life like even most people in the United
States used to have in that time, and then suddenly
there is no electricity for a day. Certainly there is
no water for maybe a week, and then you have
(05:50):
to carry jocks of water up the stairs to your apartment.
And then suddenly there are no teachers in high school
because the teachers are living in the country, and so
classes dismiss or you have to line up for food sometimes,
and then you have to line up every day, and
life just becomes like going from the first world to
the third world.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, I mean, and you lived that out, and you
came here in what year.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Twenty sixteen? And yes, I finished high school in Venezuela.
I was seventeen years old when I came. I remember,
you know, I even have a picture of myself holding
a huge pack of cash, and that was the price
of a movie ticket. People began my dad too. We
began wearing backpacks and the backpacks will be full of
cash because of the hyperinflation, kind of like German in
(06:34):
the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's pretty remarkable. And when you got to the United States,
tell me about your life today, because you've been here
now nine years. How has your life changed? And tell
me what you're doing with your life. I mean, you're
at the Manhattan Institute. Obviously you're well educated, and obviously
you're very smart.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Hope hopefully they think so. Look what I did is
I first went to Indie, and I had never been
to the Midwest. I had come to the US before
as a tourist, but then I moved to Indiana and
it was a wonderful time. I mean, the biggest change
immediately was just the safety right, but as well as
a very dangerous country, and just being able to walk
(07:15):
in the street without the fear of being kidnapped or
robbed or even just killed was a big quality of
life upgrade. The other upgrade was just how much money
money was worth. I remember my first job. I was
a receptionist on my college campus, and I was making
eleven dollars an hours on This was twenty sixteen, and
I thought I was a multi millionaire because that was
(07:37):
so difficult to make in Venezuela. And I remember the
first time I would drew some cash from my checking
account and I was just flabagasted. Now, obviously I make
much more than that, but you know, I have a
different appreciation for things, just the basic things of life
that I think a lot of Americans stack for granted,
and that's why they end up supporting the policies that
(08:00):
lead us into the disaster that I fled from.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Were you able to become a citizen at this point,
I assume yes, No, not yet.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I'm on my permanent residency.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Well, I hope people hear you loud and clear. I
hope people understand it because I can write it down
in a book and I can communicate it on radio
and TV all I want. However, it's stories like yours
that really bring it home because you lived it. We
really appreciate your time. Daniel de Martino, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Of course, Thanks San.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You know, if you listen very closely, Daniel lived it.
I've met many people in my life that have lived it.
The Mamdani's, the squad, the aocs, the Katie Wilson's, the
New Seattle mayor. You know. This is where they want
to take the country, regardless of its history of failure.
Here's AOC claiming Trump voters are pulling her aside, claiming
(08:51):
they want to join this. I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
I want to say this right now. I fully welcome
Trump voters into our coalition. And I know that sounds
crazy to some people, but just hear me out. I
cannot tell you it.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Just happened to me, like two weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I can't tell you how many times someone has pulled
me aside and said either I was once a big
Trump voter and a Trump supporter, and I watched Fox
News every day. But then I started to kind of
expand my world and where I got information. And now
I've learned, and now I've changed, and I'm with you
(09:33):
and I learned from you.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Let's get to our busy phones. Jordan is in Texas.
God bless Texas. Jordan. How are you glad you called?
Thanks for checking in, sir.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
Yes, sir. How are you doing today, Sean?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
So, first of all, love your interview. Do with JD
events around ways of working and AI and everything else.
And I would say that I agree with you that
we need to get back to the office, but I
want to propose a challenge if you don't mind, sir,
and that show.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Go right ahead. By the way, I'm not I think
for government workers it's important, but I can tell you
in my business with my workers and people that work
on this show, my team. I know who's working and
not working just based on what I see every day,
don't I don't have to see it, I know it correct.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
And I'm in the consulting business as well, so I'm
right there with you here. Here's what I would say
about going back to the office. It's one thing to
go back to the office and do meetings all day.
It's another to be a more of a production society.
And here's what I mean by that. You rightly point
out that AI is here, it's coming. My challenge to
everyone in corporate America who you know goes to the
(10:42):
office or is working from home right now, think about
ways that you can bring insights and strategy to your
organization because with agentic AI coming, I'm seeing a lot
of accounting, finance, back office jobs where edgentic AI can
you know, do accounts tayable pretty well? Right? It can
book travel for you and kind of be an assistant.
(11:04):
So my challenge to vice president of Vance when he
mentioned how you know there's gonna be a lot of
high paying jobs come out of this, I do agree,
but people need to start thinking about learning AI, learning
about how to improve your current processes and current ways
of working today. And if you are in the office
(11:26):
doing that, I'm all for it. But if we're going
back to the office just to be sitting on teams,
meetings and zoom calls all day and writing emails and
doing monotonous work, what's the point? And I think the
point is well, Number one, if you're not in the office,
that's a great way for your employer to say, are
you actually providing the value you need? You have probably gone.
(11:47):
Two is when you're in there, what are you actually
doing and what value are bringing the organization? What have
your thoughts on that?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Listen, I want to put it this way because this
is how profound a time we're living in. I want
people to view this is the we just discovered electricity moment.
Now that may sound insane to people at this moment,
to hear that I am telling you, I am not wrong.
I am telling you you've got to prepare for it.
(12:15):
I am telling young people they're going to be and
people that are in jobs, a lot of jobs are
going to be replaced. The interesting part is I'm very
close friends with one of Elan's best friends. He believes
in the end, the net gain of jobs is going
to be phenomenal, but it's got to be the right jobs.
So it's going to be a transitional economy in the
(12:36):
next decade. And I just care too much about all
of you in this audience that you be ready and
you be prepared, and frankly, I don't care what industry,
what business you're in, you better be adopting AI as
part of your daily routine and part of what you
do every day because it'll make you better and more efficient. Anyway, Look,
(12:57):
there are stories about people that are doing three full
time jobs from home and they use AI to expedite
all of their work, and they do it all successfully
and their employers have no idea what they're doing. I mean,
that's how efficient they have and how sophisticated they've got
at it. Now they have three full time paying jobs
(13:17):
that they're able to accomplish their tasks. Loved employees great
at what they do. But in part they're getting all
of this assistance because of new technology. I mean, I
give them a plus plus for being creative, don't you.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
I completely agree. You probably don't want a name drop
them when the irs may be hearing it and they may
be come knock on the.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Door and no, no, no, no, I'm not saying they're not
paying their taxes. I'm just telling you fair. It is
not telling you know, other employee their employer that they're
doing two other full time jobs.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
No, I completely agree with you. I completely agree. But no.
I So the point I'm making is exactly what you're making,
which is whatever profession you're in, document what you do.
Document the process of what your job is from start
to finish. Don't just be siloed sitting behind a keyboard
looking at a spreadsheet all day. Zoom out, think about
(14:08):
the business solistically, think about how you're getting information from
your different peers, and start putting together a strategy for
how you're going to bring AI to your organization. But
don't stop. There be the person that is going to say, hey,
not only did I think this through, not only did
I document this. Not only am I bringing this to
the organization, but I'm going to lead it because I
(14:29):
took the training, I went the extra mile, I did
night school, I did whatever, and I know everything there
is to know about this agent to AI, and I'm
going to lead the charge in my department of my
organization to adopt this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Dude. Like, but the sooner you adopt and absorb it,
the better off you're going to be, and you'll have
a competitive advantage. Just amount of time, though, I've got
to run great points, great calls that we're We're going
to have a lot more conversations on this in the
days and weeks ahead, I promise, and next year leading
into the midterms. Anyway, appreciate you call my friend eight
(15:05):
hundred nine to FOURT one show is on a number
more of your calls coming up straight ahead. How much
time are you spending on artificial intelligence?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I mean, I hate it, but more than I care to.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What do you mean you hate it? Why do you
hate it?
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Well?
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I feel like what I'd love to do is get
people out of their phones, out of their screens, out
of all the things. You know, it's not being used
in the way it was intended. It's making people dumber.
People are having conversations with their phones, are having conversations
with screens instead of having conversations with each other.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
They're having virtual boyfriends and girlfriends.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
You know what I'm saying. Like it's a whole new
it takes a blow up doll to a whole new level.
It's just I don't know. It's not my thing.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh, there are virtual relationships that people actually think is real.
It's so bizarre to me.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
But like, you know, I saw this thing the other day.
It was a commercial for chat GBT. And don't get
me wrong, I've taken things I've written and run it
through there and thought, oh, I guess I could say
it that way. But I don't like cut and paste it.
Then I like rework it and take ideas from it.
But there's this girl and she can't figure out how
to get her schedule right for school right, and this,
(16:13):
she asked chat chat GPT, how can I find time
to breathe and center while I'm studying?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Shut up?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
You're at school, read a book, drink a cup of
coffee the way we did it. You know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You're you are You're like one of these stubborn, very
old people stuck in their ways. You got to get
stuck in my waist.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You are.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Listen, my grandma, when you said you said that, Yes,
I don't mind.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
I don't mind. I don't mind. Acclimating. Acclamation is fine,
Integration is fine. A complete and utter takeover, where it's
you and a bot I'm out. I'm not about it.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So like, you're not going to be dating or having
a relationship on this happily married You're not. You don't
want to do it old school relationship with a bot.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
I want to meet new friends because I was at
a party, because I was at a bar, because I
had was at a soccer game for my kids, or
a football game for the kids, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
What normost Listen, I am telling you you're going to
be the reluctant resistant grandma and everybody's life. And everyone's
going to roll their eyes. Oh man, she's.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Stuck to the I'm all in. Then I'll take I'll
take up crocheting. I'll be the best crocheting grandma you
ever met.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm all in, the greatest crocheting grandma of all time.
That's that's a great way to you know, you're a
very young person. But if that's how you're looking at
I am going to adjust, adapt, embrace technology, and I'm
going to do it with enthusiasm for the sake of
our audience. Now, I will tell you one one one
(17:49):
consequence of this is there will be a desire, an
innate desire of people to want to return to certain
things like crocheting and doing puzzles and just turning off
their devices and getting away from all of that. I
think that's called balance that you know, at some point
we're gonna have to, you know, have that discussion. Let's
(18:11):
get to our phones. Eight hundred and ninety four one,
Shawn our number if you want to be a part
of the program. David in Florida. David, how are you
glad you called? Sir?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Well?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Hither Sean, how are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Well? I wanted to tell you about the elephant in
the room. I represent a tool shop that we have
apprentices with the Department of Labor and it's been seventy
five years ago we started at you know, we talk
about the billionaires and the politicians and all that that
I have taken in tenth graders, sophomres, both male and
(18:43):
female through a different business every week with the parents
because that take the parents along with me and they
see skilled trades businesses that require like locational schools, trade
schools and things like that, and then the other employees
helped team those kids in the apprenticeship program. Any company
(19:03):
can start an apprenticeship program with the Department of Labor.
They can handwrite what it is they're going to offer
those people to learn in four years, and in four
years they become a journeyman.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And I work.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
We're mostly in tool shops. You're mostly on union that
I worked with a good friend that was in the
carpenters union, and they talked about building houses and all
these young people and their parents went through to learn
about what that takes to do that. And you know,
these young people are tenth graders and then they go
to vocational school in the eleventh and twelfth grade. Then
(19:38):
they normally they come in and work part time with us.
And the parents are amazed at the wages that these
kids can learn, because if you compare that to a
college education. A college education, you tell me how much
you spend four years getting a bachelor's degree, and with
these kids make fifty thousand dollars a year for four
years in a row, plus we pay for an associate degree.
(20:00):
Now I think at the age of twenty two, there's
a half a million dollars difference in where these two
people are. And the parents are also very impressed because
they've been told all along, if you don't go to college,
you'll never amount to anything. Businesses are willing to invest
a huge amount of money to train people so that
they're going to be competitive when we bring all these
(20:24):
companies from overseas and even the companies we have. Now
we're a shortage of housing right now. Who's going to
build those houses? And that the Carpenters Union is really
great about adress.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I hate to tell you. I'm going to tell you
who's going to build those houses. Robots are going to
build of seventy percent of them, seventy five percent of them.
And I've seen, I have the videos. I've seen it.
I'll show it on TV.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Well, you know what, who told the robots what to do?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Well, that's a great listen. I'm all in for the
trades because you know, finished work is going to be
finished work, and I'm not sure you know they're anywhere
near the point where you're going to have you know,
let's put it this way. I've seen videos of two
different technology companies where they can build seventy percent of
(21:13):
the home or almost one hundred percent of the exteriors
that are including doing the roofing, doing the framing of
the house. You know, it is more perfect than ever
than what any man can ever do. They can wire
the house or do the basic wiring of the house,
put in insulation and put up the wallboard, pray the
(21:34):
paint the wallboard. It's that sophisticated and that technology exists now.
And I think you're right. We're down about between four
and a half to six million homes in this country
that will need to be built. And I would argue
that that probably is going to be the process that
we lean into. Now, who's gonna now, for example, who's
(21:54):
going to repair jet engines for airlines? Who's gonna I mean,
there's there's going to be the adaptation of all this
technology with real life circumstances. And I think, you know,
you're still going to need people that understand construction to
make sure that the project's going well, and you're going
(22:15):
to need the guys that go in and you know,
do the finish work. Do I think eventually that some
of those jobs too will be replaced. Yeah, it's going
to be a changing economy. And I'm not trying to
scare people. I'm just trying to get people in the
right mindset that they're going to have to make they're
going to we're all going to have to adapt. Let
me give you an example of a company that didn't adapt.
(22:36):
Remember Kodak. When we were growing up, everyone had a
little Kodak camera, Remember all that. Yeah, yeah, you know
what year they I think they went bankrupt, Linda, you
can look this up. Ass roc your favorite thing to do.
I think it was twenty twelve. You want to know why,
because they never adapted to the digital age and technology
that came with. Everybody now has the ability to take
(22:59):
a picture you're on their iPhone. They never adopted, you know,
you look at the introduction of the you know, for example,
there are more ways that people can listen to this
radio show than ever before, watch this my TV show
than ever before. And it's just a matter of being
every place and sort of flooding the zone and embracing
(23:20):
all of the platforms that are available to us. And
you know, I'm only saying this for because I want
to really put a lot of time and attention into
this for this audience. Why Because I want this audience
to be more prepared than anyone else that you might
know in life. If that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Well, yeah, but I want to tell you something. You're
you're wrong about some things. You talk about somebody building
houses that are seventy five percent, but somebody had to decide,
and one person that's skilled now can do the job
of five people used to do it, because they have
still had to dress what space they're going to put
it in, what their requirements are. They do all the
(24:07):
technical stuff, like our tool shop. They look at a
CNC machine and they call it automatic machine. It's not
an automatic machine. There's a guy back there. I understood
how to program that. So all the tolerances, the blueprints,
planned the whole thing, programmed thing so that when it
started up, somebody walks mind says, oh my gosh, that
have machines running itself, you know. But yeah, we'll be
(24:30):
smarter in the future. But we still have to have
the people in the ISO programs at the federal government.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
And we got a preview of coming attractions. Did you
ever see the old automobile manufacturing assembly lines and you
had all the workers on that line. Right, If you
look at a line today, what does it look like.
It's mostly all robotics, correct, those robots have but behind
(24:56):
the scenes, yes, you're correct, But if you look at
the actual mas, you will labor. Many of those jobs
went away. You do concede that, right, well.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Not in our business. I mean the touring has improved,
that's right, and that we can get more done than
we used to do. But the wages have probably increased
more than even academy of people that.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Because it's going to take a new level of sophistication
for the people that are going to have those jobs,
and I want this audience to be prepared for it.
I think that's going to be all part of what
you're actually saying. I don't think as far as part
as you're saying. But anyway, it's going to be an
ongoing discussion. This is not ending. I promise. Back to
our phones. Appreciate it. David. Let's say hi to Lou
(25:38):
and Tennessee. Lou, how are you?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Very fine? Very fine? I don't like you. I can
talk about swell Well and his moronic sense of history
regarding the White House. I mean, these people who think
that this extension is something bad just mystifies mean who
absolutely mystiflies me. Do you have any sense of history
(26:01):
regarding what happened in eighteen twelve or Harry trumanly having.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
To leave the White House for.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
All those years because he had a renovated or be balled.
It's just stupefying that they're so stupid in their mindset.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
They just hate Trump. Trump derangement syndrome. Trump lives in
their head.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
For example, tomorrow, the MBS, the Saudi Crown Prince will
be at the White House. Had they had one big,
beautiful ballroom, they could have sixteen hundred people and if
it's raining, well, I mean, you make a good point,
but there is one one room. I think they can
hold like one hundred and fifty two hundred people max.
(26:43):
And that's it's not I don't know if it's what
room it's actually called in the White House. I've been
in it. It's kind of where they have their White
House Christmas parties, which I have not been to under
President Trump, but I went to under My kids wanted
to see the White House, so I took them when
George Bush was I wasn't invited in the Obama years.
I wasn't invited in the Biden years. I don't really
(27:05):
I didn't know if I'd ever make it back there,
to be honest. But it's not a place like, for example,
have I had an opportunity to go to tomorrow's thing.
I gotta work tomorrow. I can't. I don't have time
to take off. I gotta work. But yeah, they just
hate Trump. And yeah, we talked about every instance in
which the White House have been renovated, under every president
(27:26):
that renovated it and the impact it's had, and I
think it's been positive. Nothing was said, Nope, nothing. You're
right they hate Trump anyway, appreciate it. Eight hundred and

you're on the air. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Hey, Jo, your show, long time listener, first time.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Caller, Thank you? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Been under health exsurance exchange and prices are just through
the roof, as we all know. So I've been trying
to figure out a way what can be done to
lower health insurance or to lower health care costs. And
my number one idea is we need to mandate and
(28:10):
I hate that term, but we need to mandate that
everyone has an annual physical because we catch pre existing
conditions early. It's going to drive the cost of healthcare
down by the billions. I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Gary Brecker told me. He's in the health, wellness, fitness,
nutrition space that if you live five more years, the
odds of you living to be over one hundred go
up exponentially. That's going to wrapling us up for today.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
