Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am a retired law enforcement officer of twenty five years.
I am I come to doing this with everything I
do is because my brother was murdered in twenty eighteen
by an illegal alien. And since then, I've been to
the White House. I was President Trump's special guest in
(00:23):
the State of Union in twenty twenty and I have
a lot of stories that I can tell on that
he was such a gracious host and it was it
was just an amazing thing. Was it was. If I could,
if I could give it all up and get my
brother back, I would, but I can't. So what I
can do is what I'm doing now. I'm fighting the
(00:44):
good fight, which means I'm fighting for American values and
I'm trying to bring it through back through but with
you know, the conservative way of life, and to me
that means a lot. And I see I'm part of
Angel families. If you don't know what angel families is,
that is, if you've ever had a family member that's
been murdered by an illegal alien, you are an Angel
(01:05):
family member. And there's a lot of them out there, unfortunately,
and I've met a lot of them. I just went back, Frank,
you went with me about three weeks ago, Tom Holman,
they invited us back. He got an award. It was
a dinner. I went on air with him. He was
(01:25):
you remember that when he seen me, give me a
big hug. He just such a personal He's a prince
of a man.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
He is.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
My gosh, that guy has been so mischaracterized.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, but that's who I am. Guys. I'm just a
regular Joe. I've been a law enforcement for twenty five years.
You know, I've met President Trump. I've been in the
White House, I've been in the Oval Office talking to him,
and I know for a fact that he is America first.
And that's why I always preach that, you know, President
(01:55):
Trump is America first. When I talked to him, when
I was in that overall talking to him and me
and my my younger brothers, he made us feel just
super patriotic, you know. And I remember, I'll never forget
this is what he told me. He said, don't believe
the mainstream media. I am not a racist. I want
to protect the American people from people like the illegal
(02:20):
alien criminal that murdered your brother. And I remember when
he looked at me and he said that I'll never
forget it, and I know he meant it, and it
was it was a surreal time in my life, but
just one of those things where you you'll never forget it.
And I felt it from him. You know how some people,
(02:41):
uh they're just kind of phony. Uh he wasn't. And
and you know what's funny is I hear people talk
about President Trump that's met him, and they say the
same thing that I say, how he's just he's a
personal and you can feel the the just the genuine
person he is. And that's that's a fact. And I
know that. And I have a lot of funny stories.
(03:05):
I'm gonna tell you one really quick. Okay, when we
went in the Oval office, when we're all walking in,
you know, we have all these six four sixty five
Secret Service guys lined up, and we're walking in and
President Trump sitting at the desk, the desk, and he
looks at he goes, oh, my good, look at these
buffaloes coming in here. Because we're all pretty big guys, right,
(03:25):
And uh, we walk up to him and he shakes
our hands and and you know, greets us and and
he says, hey, I want to ask you guys a question.
Who's the toughest one of you guys. So I tell him,
I say, you know what, I don't know about that,
but I know I'm the cutest. And he starts laughing, right, so,
so you know, he starts talking to us, and and
(03:47):
we didn't have that long to talk to him because
he had to go practice this little thing called the
State of the Union address, So it was it was
pretty fun and he just gave us a whole bunch
of stuff and and right before we left, he says, Hey, Jody,
you know, I want to give you this, and he
had four pins. He goes, I want each one of
you boys to have these pins, each one each. I
(04:08):
just signed a bill with it today, and it would
mean a lot for me if if you have them.
I said, of course, you know. And we looked at
him AND's just like wow. I just the way he
carried himself and what he was talking about to us
about illegal aliens and how he wants to protect the
American people and that he is not against immigration. He's
(04:30):
not against immigration, he said that right to me, I'm
not against immigration. I'm against the illegal criminal element in
the in that the whole lifestyle with because it really
is a lifestyle. And when we're walking out, my one
of my younger brothers, we're walking, you know, out the door,
and he goes, hey, he's not orange, and I look
(04:54):
back and President Trump heard it and he's laughing. He's
literally laughing at the desk and I'm looking at the
Secret Service causs now they're laughing. So we walk out
right and I'm like, what the heck? And I looked
at him. He goes, what he's not. You're right, man,
he's not orange. You're right.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But that your brother with an ear with an that was?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That was.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And uh no, Elliott, he did something totally different when
we met the first Lady. So she's super beautiful. Everybody
knows she's really really beautiful, right, she's eleven, yeah, yeah,
she's eleven out of Yeah. So before we go in
to meet her and take pictures with her, the two
Secret Service guys come up to us and says, hey, listen,
(05:38):
when you meet the first Lady, please don't stand there
at all because she's a very beautiful woman and a
lot of people do that. I'm and I'm looking, going,
what what are you talking about? So he goes, just
shake her hand, say miss first Lady, thank you, you know,
and this whatever you want to say, like, okay, So
sure enough, we walk in and when you walked when
we walked in the room, you just smell the perfume,
(05:59):
and I was like, whoa, oh, just you have to
wait for the perfume. And it smelt good. Let me
tell you that, you know what I mean. So we
walk in and my little brother Elliot, and so he
like cuts right in from me, right. He goes right
to her and grabs her hand and he's sitting there
looking at her. She's tall and he's he's a little shorter.
He's about five seven. So he's looking up at her,
(06:20):
shaking her hand and go and this is all he said,
You're so beautiful. And he's shaking her hand the same, well,
you're so beautiful. And I'm sitting going, oh my god,
he's doing everything that he told us not to do.
So I literally broke the handshake and I said, miss
first lady, it's a pleasure to meet you as an
honor and she goes, Jody, No, it's because she has
that strong accident. No, Jody, it's a pleasure to meet you,
(06:41):
you know. So we talked for a second. We take
our picture, and man does my brother. He turns and
grabs her hand again and starts saying, you're so beautiful,
and I'm going, oh my god. So I break it
up again, you know. So as we're walking out, I go, Elliott,
you did it everything that that Secret Service guy told
(07:02):
us not to do. He goes, well, she was beautiful.
I go, really was she beautiful? No kidding? I go,
We all think she's beautiful. So we just kind of
had a laugh at that, you know, the two Secret
Service guys, they're just laughing, you know. So we just
had time after time about that. But I'm gonna tell
you something about the Trumps. People can talk whatever they
want to say. They were gracious to us. They rolled
(07:23):
out the red carpet and they treated us like we
were one of their own. And I'll never forget it,
and I'll always love him for that. So but it's here.
I am now, you know, I'm fighting, and and we're
in California and I'm on the radio now and it's
just it's it's been surreal. But I'll tell you what,
(07:49):
Like I said, I'd give it all up to have
my brother back, but we all know that's not gonna happen.
So what I'm doing, I'm trying to educate everybody. And
that's kind of what I do on my ship, is
I try to educate what's going on here in California,
especially with all the bills and UH. Tomorrow we're gonna
have David Daniel Paul assembling him and on UH. We're
(08:10):
gonna talk about some craziness that's going on in uh
in California right now up in Sacramento. But this is
the stuff, and this is the relationships I've built with
with some of these politicians and just people in our communities.
And that's kind of who I am. Uh, Frank, Uh,
go ahead, buddy, tell me who you are.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I am Frank, and I'm an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Frank. You're you're You're an awesome man. And you know
I've been I've been lucky to uh meet you and
be your friend, you know, and it's it's it's it's
pretty cool. We we do a lot of good stuff together.
And you know, I brought you on as a co
host with me and and I'll tell you you've made
it better. You've made you've made me have fun again,
uh with with a show. Uh, and it's just and
(08:59):
I'm and everybody. I want to let you guys know something.
Frank is. He just says what he wants to say.
And you know, I try to tell him, don't hold
back when you're on the air, please, because I want
everybody out there to know who you are. And Frank,
just tell who you are, buddy.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm just a runny nosed kid who grew up on
one hundred and third Street in Englewood. And he really
is too. Yeah, you probably wouldn't guess looking at me.
I wound up in this valley because I met a
beautiful little girl from Exeter and turns out she went
to school with Jody. We've been friends ever since. I'm
(09:35):
just your garden variety contractor. I built houses in eighty
US for people, and my greatest accomplishment in life has
been staying married to Lydia Marie van Lanningham for twenty
two years. That's what I'll tell you about me.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Boy, that is just the Hey, Lyddia, if you listen
out there and I know you are, this guy loves
you and he is a smart dude. And for all
the husbands out there, they know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
So if you know you know the best time to
tell your wife you love her is two minutes before
another guy does.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Guys, Uh, that's who we are, man. We're just two
guys and we love coming on the radio. And we've
built some relationships with some really good people and we
we we try to have them on. I've I've had
coaches throughout the valley on my on my station or
my show as well, some football coaches. In the future,
(10:32):
I'm gonna have just softball coaches. I'm gonna have uh,
just everybody I can on in the communities because I
believe the communities is where everything is is built. That's
where the rubber meets the road in our communities. And
what's going on in Sacramento right now it breaks our
communities down when when they when they start protecting the criminals,
(10:53):
they break down our communities. And I'm, for one, not
gonna let that happen. I'm doing my very best to
fight that. And this is what I want to do.
Some people's asked me to run for an office, and
I say no, I like doing what I'm doing right now.
I think my voice is bigger on the radio, and
(11:17):
I like to help good people that I think is
running for offices that I like what they're saying. I
help them with fundraisers, I do all kinds of stuff
with them. I have them on my show. That's my part.
That's what I'm doing, and I love having them on
discussing what's really going on here in California.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Jody, one thing I will tell everybody full disclosure, you
and I have done a number of fundraisers together. I've
been honored to hang out and be with you. To me,
the most important one that I can think back on
is when you put together the deal for Corey Comparatory
and raised about fourteen thousand dollars and send it to
(12:01):
the family. All the good people here in the Valley
did that, and that really speaks to us. It speaks
to you. It's an honor to paler around with you.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Thanks Bro. And you know when we did that, we
didn't want to do a GoFundMe. We wanted everything to
go straight to the family and went to.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
The assistent Trevor Cherry show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Right now, this is you know, this is Jodi and
Franken for Trevor. So super fun. We're having a good
time here. Uh, but we have a gentleman here now
is Alan Banoy of Alan Banoy Insurance Services. Alan. How
you doing, buddy?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'm doing great. How are you?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
We are doing well? You know. The thing is, and
the thing is it's you know, we brought you in
here because a lot of things are happening right now
with medicaid, medical and everybody's talking about the big beautiful
bill and how President Trump is trying to cut everybody
off of Medicaid and it's just it's it's a bunch
(13:06):
of malarkey. That's not really what's going on.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
True, is it true?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So let me ask you this, being a professional, how
long have you been in this field.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I've been licensed over thirty years.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So thirty years and in twenty years, so you've been
in a long time. This is what you're saying. So
you know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Let me ask you this. If it was if it
would have kept going and changed nothing, what would have
happened to medical and medicaid here in California.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, the bottom line is we've got more and more
people that are enrolling into medical and there's a limited
amount of money regardless of federal budget, state budget, any budget,
home budget, so sooner or you got to make some
cuts somewhere.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, when you say there's more people that's coming on,
that's enrolling, that is including illegal immigrants, right, yes, yes, So.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Why is it so difficult to ask that? Why is
it so difficult to answer that? Why is that the
third rail politically?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
From the standpoint of.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Anybody, it seems like anybody, if anybody says I think
illegals are collecting, I can't believe you said that. But
it's like, let's state the obvious. Let's call it what
it is.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Well, it's party part and parcel to what party you're
with that, oh with most of that pushback comes from obviously,
you know, we've got a huge influx of illegals. Everybody
knows that that in flux of illegals, whether maybe they're
not signed up for medical day one or maybe they're
still not and maybe they've been in the country for
(14:49):
four or five years, But sooner or later, some of
those people are going to wind up in a hospital
needing medical care. Well, who's going to pay the hospital?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And I think Claudia Shineby in Mexico City is going
to write a check?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, yeah, so you know, I think the biggest question
that I want to know and everybody else wants to know,
is you know, this big beautiful bill, if it stays
like this with cutting illegal immigrants off and actually you
(15:23):
know able body people that can work, is that a
good thing or a bad thing for medical and medicaid.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It's certainly a good thing that the people, I mean,
the people that need medical need medical care. Absolutely they
should be they should be entitled to it and there
but there needs to be a screening process. And if
somebody's able bodied, ready to work, can work, but won't work.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
And there's not a screening process right now, that's what
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's pretty well true exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So we're so President Trump's basically putting in a screening
process now correct, and some rules saying hey, if you're
if you meet these criterias, you can be eligible for
medicaid or medical correct or medicaid.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's the direction that seems like.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And I personally, I'm glad he's going down that road
because I don't want my tax payer money to be
paying for a non non American citizen. That's I'm gonna
say it, because I don't want that. Do I think
if somebody's here and they need medical attention. Yes, okay,
(16:37):
I'm not saying that, but I don't want my tax
dollars going to, you know, somebody that's on medical that
I'm paying for, especially if they could work, right, So,
and that goes for you know, not even being a
legal immigrant or an alien. That goes for an American
citizen that can work too. So don't get that twisted,
(16:58):
you know, I'm for helping somebody that actually needs it.
And I think this screening process is what we need.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Without a doubt. You brought up a point, and I
think it's a good one that sooner or later they
are going to wind up, probably in a hospital. And
I understand that if you'll wind up in an er,
that's probably the most expensive form of care that there is.
And that does not escape me. But some guy who's
(17:27):
not supposed to be here winds up in a hospital,
the hospital is now obliged to provide a level of
care for him. I don't know if they don't get reimbursed.
I don't know if they take those costs and just
bump up the cost of everything and put.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
It on us.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Anyway, And I've heard the argument, and I find it
troubling logical, but troubling that, well, you're paying for him anyway,
and this is a less expensive way to do it.
And then I go back to is there a right
way to do a wrong thing?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Morally?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I don't believe there is. Something is either right or wrong.
But a guy gets hurt going to the hospital, do
we just expect the hospital to eat it or do
we allow them to put it on us?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And that's what's not going to work is and hospitals
are in a lot of hospitals are in trouble already.
They're financially strapped. Maderra Hospital went out of business. As
you recall, there was a federal thing that basically gave
them a boatload of money to get that thing up
and started again.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You know, California just passed that the new law where
illego immigrants were eligible for medical right that they were
actually they can actually get on it and have all
the benefits. Correct.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It did, And then there was some backtracking that it
seemed like Newsom was doing because you know, he realized
that this budget isn't gonna.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Oh so it was in the last two three days,
wasn't it that I heard something about racing.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So basically when they said, oh no, this will save
California money because the illegal aliens that you know, people
in here that's not Americans and they get on medical,
it will help. It'll make things better. That it didn't,
did it?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Not?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Really?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It made it worse, didn't it.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
This is the Trevor Carry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
For Frank today and tomorrow. Make sure you tune in
tomorrow as well. You can hear our beautiful voices. Hey,
we're right now. We're talking to Alan Benoy of Alinoy
Insurance Services about medical and Medicaid and we were kind
of getting into a lot of stuff about Medicare, how
there's no screening process and that's just amazing to me,
(19:43):
how there's no screening process for this for no wonder
it was going bankrupt.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, pretty much with medical. And I'm talking about the
the medical and of medical. And there's also some things
like EBT cards and things like that that right that
provides some cash benefits and so forth. But for medical
it's income based. It is not asset based. What does
that mean? I could have a million dollars in the bank,
(20:11):
but if my income shows that I'm under the twenty
some thousand dollars limit of what maybe W.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Two Oh, I think we have a little technical difficulty.
So hey, I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're
gonna we're just gonna say. I'm gonna tell you what.
What he's trying to tell you, guys is there's a
lot of things that the screening process is going to
help with. And the biggest thing I think is people
(20:44):
that's eligible that they're not going to be eligible and
it's gonna save the program money. So and I think
that is what we need to do and to save
everyone that's on medical and made So Medicaid is medical
is basically medicaid but for California. And let's make sure
(21:07):
we understand that Medicaid is nationwide and if you go
out of California, you're gonna get medicaid. If you're in California,
you're gonna get medical.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So now who's paying for medical? Is only cal or
is it all of us? How does it get funded?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well? Guess what, guys, we got the no more technical difficulty.
So we're out and talk a little bit. Here, go ahead, buddy, Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So Medicare is I'm sorry, back up. Medicaid is the
federal program that gives low income individuals health insurance. Medical
is just California's name or medicaid. So if I'm talking,
if I say, medicaid is medical and medical is medicaid.
Pretty much for today's discussion, seventy percent of the funds
(21:56):
for medical come from the federal government. Thirty percent of
the funds come from the state of California. Could be
through taxes, could be through the general Fund, could be
through some other avenues. But that's how medical is paid for.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Let me ask you this, what can make it better?
Would would put in a screening process make it better?
Would that be one of the issues screening process? I'm
sure that'd make it better.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
You know, what Trump doesn't want to do is knock
everybody in the country off of medical. Wait a minute, Medicaid.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Wait a minute, you mean, big bad Orange Man don't
want to cut everybody off of medical and Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, I mean basically propose something that. Part of it
is the fact that he wants people to work that
are able body earn an income, and based on that
and some other factors, they may or may not be
eligible for a medicaid.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
What a novel idea. Let's help the people that actually
need help create. It is creative, right, I'm thinking that's
what America is built on, you know, it's it's helping
people that want to help themselves. And I believe that
is what's going on here. And when you hear these
people talk about you know, medical medicaid and what President
(23:15):
Trump's trying to do here, you know, they try to
spin it to where it's it's he's super bad. He
just wants to cut this off. He wants to, you know,
make these people hurt. And it's just that's not the case.
It's just not the case.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I got a question for you, Alan with respect to medicare.
What are the options on Medicare? Is it as good
as Blue Cross or Kaiser or anything like that. Does
it cover everything? What's what? Why do I want it?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Why would you want it? Over all that stuff?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, when you turn sixty five, you're not eligible. You
may be eligible for medical as well as Medicare, but
you're not eligible for the individual health insurance. Individual health
insurance market is for people who are from birth to
age sixty four. When you hit sixty five, you're ineligible
for that market. And you are for medical care, which
(24:18):
is the federal government's program for people that are over
sixty five. It's what's been been deducted for your check.
Ever since you started working, you've been paying into Medicare.
Oh yeah, we all know that, paying Social Security and then.
But Medicare doesn't pay everything. Medicare pays part of the bill,
(24:38):
not all of the bill.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So as I understand, I'm basically right now, I've got
private health insurance. I'm just going to get booted by
these guys and I'm forced to go on that. I
can't keep what I have.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
If you keep what you have, you're going to pay
astronomically more for it than if you went on Medicare.
Is it as good? In my opinion, it's better. It's
a lot better. Wow. Medicare by itself doesn't pay everything.
There's copays, there's deductibles, some of those things you'd pay
(25:10):
out of pocket. And what a Medicare supplement does, or
a Medicare advantage plan does is it works with original
Medicare to give you some extra benefits and fill in
the gaps.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So I have a question, Allan, and I know a
lot of people that I know they say, can I
just make a little bit over you know what they say,
I have to you know, earn now ineligible for medical?
What happens if you go over look, you know, say
it's twenty one thousand, you make twenty one thousand and
(25:46):
five hundred dollars. So now what now? What does that
person do?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Okay, So there is a scale, sliding scale if you will,
after you get that medical cap. So for somebody who
has medical we're talking medical here, medical and make slightly
over that medical base limit that makes them eligible. There's
(26:11):
something that's called share of cost, and so you may
get medical with what they refer to as share of cost.
Share of cost maybe eight hundred dollars. What does that mean?
That means that you have to pay the first eight
hundred dollars out of pocket before medical kicks in. That
starts over every month. So if you're in and out
(26:33):
of the emergency room or having other treatment, that means
if you've got share of cost, you've got to pay
that out of your own pocket before medical kicks in.
And you bring up a good point because what if
somebody and I'll give you a real life example. I
had someone call me and they said they called up.
They said they were eligible for medical except for the
(26:55):
fact they were one hundred and twenty six dollars over
the income limit because of their Social Security Wow, and
Medical suggested they call their insurance broker and get a
dental plan or a vision plan or both that would
be slightly over the one hundred and twenty six dollars.
(27:15):
What that did. She no longer had to pay eight
hundred dollars out of her pocket. She paid about one
hundred and thirty dollars and actually I signed her up
for two different dental plans and a vision plan to
hit one hundred and thirty mark. She got full medical
and it's all perfectly legal. There's certain things that subtract
from your income and medical and dental type insurance or
(27:37):
part of it.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
This is the Trevor Kerry Show on the Valley's Power.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Doc Jody Jones and Frank Van Lanningham in for Trevor
today and we are having a good time. And I
want to thank Alan Binoy again for coming in and
giving us a good rundown on medical and medicaid, explaining
the two different and just assuring us that the Grandma's
(28:04):
not going to be cut off. Of medical or medicaid,
like the Democrats are trying to say that it's gonna happen.
That is not gonna happen. Guys, it is not going
to happen. And honestly, we don't even know what's gonna
happen yet, we don't. They're still deliberating and you know,
making dials and and seeing what's going on with what
(28:25):
they're gonna gut, if they're gonna gut anymore, if they're
gonna pass it, you know, and and we'll see, we
will see. But I do want to thank Alan for
coming on and taking the time out because, uh, you know,
this is what he does for a living, and he
took his time out to come up here and explain
all that to everybody, and we just appreciate that. So
right now we're going to talk about the DOJ and
(28:50):
La County.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well it's about darn time, right, That's all I can say.
Because I'm a Native Angelino. Uh, we moved. I was
born in San Diego, but then we bounced and went
to Oxnard, went to Albuquerque and Oliver. But nineteen sixty
seven my family moved back to Los Angeles. And it's
(29:13):
always been dirty and corrupt there, and they've always gotten
away with whatever the heck they wanted because there was
never anybody to put them in check, and especially under Obama,
under Biden, nobody in Los Angeles could do any wrong
because they were all big political donors, fundraisers. And LA
actually put out an ordinance and I had to google this.
(29:35):
It was Ordnance one eight eight four four one. Now,
this was signed by Mayor Bass twenty twenty four, and
it prohibited the use of city resources that means police, firefighters,
anything like this for federal immigration enforcement. It basically said,
we are not going to cooperate with ice periods. So
(29:57):
when they stopped somebody, they're not asking you here legally.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I remember in the old days they used to.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Of course, this was you know, we're talking under Mayor Yorty,
we're talking under Bill Gates when they were a strong city.
But it's kind of fallen away from that. It basically
established LA as a sanctuary city, restricting any cooperation with
federal authorities. The ordinance also was there. They said it
(30:24):
was there to protect immigrant communities by preventing city assets
from being used to assist, you know, in these immigration sweeps.
And what it really was was political pandering, because at
that point they realized they'd all but lost the black vote,
who they'd taken for granted for years and years and years,
and for so much time when the Latino population was
(30:48):
not voting and so many of them ineligible a vote,
they were just basically written off. But now they figure
they're a force to be reckoned with, and God forbid,
now that they've lost the Blacks, they don't want to
lose the Latinos. So the US d o J files
a lawsuit. And this was just the other day.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
No, it was today.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I thought it was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well it's no.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I found out it this morning when I woke up.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
He know, they found they filed it today.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Buddy, Okay, Well, it's basically going out to this ordinance
and it's claiming that it's discriminating against ICE agents and
treating them differently than other law enforcement people, which is
sort of interesting because usually it's like you're treating me
different because of my color, my sexual preference, or whatever.
It is. Now we're treating an ICE agent different than
(31:33):
other law enforcement and it'll be very interesting to see
how this thing. What are your thoughts on.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That, Jodie Well, you know, it's it's with a docking
that that's what they're really doing, the ICE and it's
it's I'm glad the DOJ has just filed the lawsuit
against Los Angeles and I hope they win because it's
going to set up precedence for all sanctuary cities and
I think it's gonna be good for the American people.
(32:00):
Me being an next law enforcement officer, I know exactly what,
uh what this does to the law enforcement community.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It it really builds a wedge.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
They talk about, you know, wanting to protect their communities,
and uh, it does the opposite. It builds a wedge
with law enforcement and the people in the community because
really the ICE agents who they're going after, they're going
after the criminal element within the legal immigration illegal immigrant communities.
And you know, the whole argument is illegal alien. If
(32:33):
you've come over here without you know, illegally, your your criminal.
So but really, what what the President Trump and the
Trumpet administration is really trying to do is going after
the criminal aliens in that community. Uh that's broken the
laws why they're here. Uh, that's you know, and I
(32:54):
don't care what it is if it's you know, Duy's
domestic violence is this, This is the people that are
going after in these what these sanctuary cities are doing
in these counties, they're protecting these people.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
They insist that Trevor carry Show on The Valley's Power
Talk
I am a retired law enforcement officer of twenty five years.
I am I come to doing this with everything I
do is because my brother was murdered in twenty eighteen
by an illegal alien. And since then, I've been to
the White House. I was President Trump's special guest in
(00:23):
the State of Union in twenty twenty and I have
a lot of stories that I can tell on that
he was such a gracious host and it was it
was just an amazing thing. Was it was. If I could,
if I could give it all up and get my
brother back, I would, but I can't. So what I
can do is what I'm doing now. I'm fighting the
(00:44):
good fight, which means I'm fighting for American values and
I'm trying to bring it through back through but with
you know, the conservative way of life, and to me
that means a lot. And I see I'm part of
Angel families. If you don't know what angel families is,
that is, if you've ever had a family member that's
been murdered by an illegal alien, you are an Angel
(01:05):
family member. And there's a lot of them out there, unfortunately,
and I've met a lot of them. I just went back, Frank,
you went with me about three weeks ago, Tom Holman,
they invited us back. He got an award. It was
a dinner. I went on air with him. He was
(01:25):
you remember that when he seen me, give me a
big hug. He just such a personal He's a prince
of a man.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
He is.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
My gosh, that guy has been so mischaracterized.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, but that's who I am. Guys. I'm just a
regular Joe. I've been a law enforcement for twenty five years.
You know, I've met President Trump. I've been in the
White House, I've been in the Oval Office talking to him,
and I know for a fact that he is America first.
And that's why I always preach that, you know, President
(01:55):
Trump is America first. When I talked to him, when
I was in that overall talking to him and me
and my my younger brothers, he made us feel just
super patriotic, you know. And I remember, I'll never forget
this is what he told me. He said, don't believe
the mainstream media. I am not a racist. I want
to protect the American people from people like the illegal
(02:20):
alien criminal that murdered your brother. And I remember when
he looked at me and he said that I'll never
forget it, and I know he meant it, and it
was it was a surreal time in my life, but
just one of those things where you you'll never forget it.
And I felt it from him. You know how some people,
(02:41):
uh they're just kind of phony. Uh he wasn't. And
and you know what's funny is I hear people talk
about President Trump that's met him, and they say the
same thing that I say, how he's just he's a
personal and you can feel the the just the genuine
person he is. And that's that's a fact. And I
know that. And I have a lot of funny stories.
(03:05):
I'm gonna tell you one really quick. Okay, when we
went in the Oval office, when we're all walking in,
you know, we have all these six four sixty five
Secret Service guys lined up, and we're walking in and
President Trump sitting at the desk, the desk, and he
looks at he goes, oh, my good, look at these
buffaloes coming in here. Because we're all pretty big guys, right,
(03:25):
And uh, we walk up to him and he shakes
our hands and and you know, greets us and and
he says, hey, I want to ask you guys a question.
Who's the toughest one of you guys. So I tell him,
I say, you know what, I don't know about that,
but I know I'm the cutest. And he starts laughing, right, so,
so you know, he starts talking to us, and and
(03:47):
we didn't have that long to talk to him because
he had to go practice this little thing called the
State of the Union address, So it was it was
pretty fun and he just gave us a whole bunch
of stuff and and right before we left, he says, Hey, Jody,
you know, I want to give you this, and he
had four pins. He goes, I want each one of
you boys to have these pins, each one each. I
(04:08):
just signed a bill with it today, and it would
mean a lot for me if if you have them.
I said, of course, you know. And we looked at
him AND's just like wow. I just the way he
carried himself and what he was talking about to us
about illegal aliens and how he wants to protect the
American people and that he is not against immigration. He's
(04:30):
not against immigration, he said that right to me, I'm
not against immigration. I'm against the illegal criminal element in
the in that the whole lifestyle with because it really
is a lifestyle. And when we're walking out, my one
of my younger brothers, we're walking, you know, out the door,
and he goes, hey, he's not orange, and I look
(04:54):
back and President Trump heard it and he's laughing. He's
literally laughing at the desk and I'm looking at the
Secret Service causs now they're laughing. So we walk out
right and I'm like, what the heck? And I looked
at him. He goes, what he's not. You're right, man,
he's not orange. You're right.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But that your brother with an ear with an that was?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That was.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And uh no, Elliott, he did something totally different when
we met the first Lady. So she's super beautiful. Everybody
knows she's really really beautiful, right, she's eleven, yeah, yeah,
she's eleven out of Yeah. So before we go in
to meet her and take pictures with her, the two
Secret Service guys come up to us and says, hey, listen,
(05:38):
when you meet the first Lady, please don't stand there
at all because she's a very beautiful woman and a
lot of people do that. I'm and I'm looking, going,
what what are you talking about? So he goes, just
shake her hand, say miss first Lady, thank you, you know,
and this whatever you want to say, like, okay, So
sure enough, we walk in and when you walked when
we walked in the room, you just smell the perfume,
(05:59):
and I was like, whoa, oh, just you have to
wait for the perfume. And it smelt good. Let me
tell you that, you know what I mean. So we
walk in and my little brother Elliot, and so he
like cuts right in from me, right. He goes right
to her and grabs her hand and he's sitting there
looking at her. She's tall and he's he's a little shorter.
He's about five seven. So he's looking up at her,
(06:20):
shaking her hand and go and this is all he said,
You're so beautiful. And he's shaking her hand the same, well,
you're so beautiful. And I'm sitting going, oh my god,
he's doing everything that he told us not to do.
So I literally broke the handshake and I said, miss
first lady, it's a pleasure to meet you as an
honor and she goes, Jody, No, it's because she has
that strong accident. No, Jody, it's a pleasure to meet you,
(06:41):
you know. So we talked for a second. We take
our picture, and man does my brother. He turns and
grabs her hand again and starts saying, you're so beautiful,
and I'm going, oh my god. So I break it
up again, you know. So as we're walking out, I go, Elliott,
you did it everything that that Secret Service guy told
(07:02):
us not to do. He goes, well, she was beautiful.
I go, really was she beautiful? No kidding? I go,
We all think she's beautiful. So we just kind of
had a laugh at that, you know, the two Secret
Service guys, they're just laughing, you know. So we just
had time after time about that. But I'm gonna tell
you something about the Trumps. People can talk whatever they
want to say. They were gracious to us. They rolled
(07:23):
out the red carpet and they treated us like we
were one of their own. And I'll never forget it,
and I'll always love him for that. So but it's here.
I am now, you know, I'm fighting, and and we're
in California and I'm on the radio now and it's
just it's it's been surreal. But I'll tell you what,
(07:49):
Like I said, I'd give it all up to have
my brother back, but we all know that's not gonna happen.
So what I'm doing, I'm trying to educate everybody. And
that's kind of what I do on my ship, is
I try to educate what's going on here in California,
especially with all the bills and UH. Tomorrow we're gonna
have David Daniel Paul assembling him and on UH. We're
(08:10):
gonna talk about some craziness that's going on in uh
in California right now up in Sacramento. But this is
the stuff, and this is the relationships I've built with
with some of these politicians and just people in our communities.
And that's kind of who I am. Uh, Frank, Uh,
go ahead, buddy, tell me who you are.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I am Frank, and I'm an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Frank. You're you're You're an awesome man. And you know
I've been I've been lucky to uh meet you and
be your friend, you know, and it's it's it's it's
pretty cool. We we do a lot of good stuff together.
And you know, I brought you on as a co
host with me and and I'll tell you you've made
it better. You've made you've made me have fun again,
uh with with a show. Uh, and it's just and
(08:59):
I'm and everybody. I want to let you guys know something.
Frank is. He just says what he wants to say.
And you know, I try to tell him, don't hold
back when you're on the air, please, because I want
everybody out there to know who you are. And Frank,
just tell who you are, buddy.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm just a runny nosed kid who grew up on
one hundred and third Street in Englewood. And he really
is too. Yeah, you probably wouldn't guess looking at me.
I wound up in this valley because I met a
beautiful little girl from Exeter and turns out she went
to school with Jody. We've been friends ever since. I'm
(09:35):
just your garden variety contractor. I built houses in eighty
US for people, and my greatest accomplishment in life has
been staying married to Lydia Marie van Lanningham for twenty
two years. That's what I'll tell you about me.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Boy, that is just the Hey, Lyddia, if you listen
out there and I know you are, this guy loves
you and he is a smart dude. And for all
the husbands out there, they know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
So if you know you know the best time to
tell your wife you love her is two minutes before
another guy does.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Guys, Uh, that's who we are, man. We're just two
guys and we love coming on the radio. And we've
built some relationships with some really good people and we
we we try to have them on. I've I've had
coaches throughout the valley on my on my station or
my show as well, some football coaches. In the future,
(10:32):
I'm gonna have just softball coaches. I'm gonna have uh,
just everybody I can on in the communities because I
believe the communities is where everything is is built. That's
where the rubber meets the road in our communities. And
what's going on in Sacramento right now it breaks our
communities down when when they when they start protecting the criminals,
(10:53):
they break down our communities. And I'm, for one, not
gonna let that happen. I'm doing my very best to
fight that. And this is what I want to do.
Some people's asked me to run for an office, and
I say no, I like doing what I'm doing right now.
I think my voice is bigger on the radio, and
(11:17):
I like to help good people that I think is
running for offices that I like what they're saying. I
help them with fundraisers, I do all kinds of stuff
with them. I have them on my show. That's my part.
That's what I'm doing, and I love having them on
discussing what's really going on here in California.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Jody, one thing I will tell everybody full disclosure, you
and I have done a number of fundraisers together. I've
been honored to hang out and be with you. To me,
the most important one that I can think back on
is when you put together the deal for Corey Comparatory
and raised about fourteen thousand dollars and send it to
(12:01):
the family. All the good people here in the Valley
did that, and that really speaks to us. It speaks
to you. It's an honor to paler around with you.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Thanks Bro. And you know when we did that, we
didn't want to do a GoFundMe. We wanted everything to
go straight to the family and went to.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
The assistent Trevor Cherry show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Right now, this is you know, this is Jodi and
Franken for Trevor. So super fun. We're having a good
time here. Uh, but we have a gentleman here now
is Alan Banoy of Alan Banoy Insurance Services. Alan. How
you doing, buddy?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'm doing great. How are you?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
We are doing well? You know. The thing is, and
the thing is it's you know, we brought you in
here because a lot of things are happening right now
with medicaid, medical and everybody's talking about the big beautiful
bill and how President Trump is trying to cut everybody
off of Medicaid and it's just it's it's a bunch
(13:06):
of malarkey. That's not really what's going on.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
True, is it true?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So let me ask you this, being a professional, how
long have you been in this field.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I've been licensed over thirty years.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So thirty years and in twenty years, so you've been
in a long time. This is what you're saying. So
you know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Let me ask you this. If it was if it
would have kept going and changed nothing, what would have
happened to medical and medicaid here in California.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, the bottom line is we've got more and more
people that are enrolling into medical and there's a limited
amount of money regardless of federal budget, state budget, any budget,
home budget, so sooner or you got to make some
cuts somewhere.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, when you say there's more people that's coming on,
that's enrolling, that is including illegal immigrants, right, yes, yes, So.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Why is it so difficult to ask that? Why is
it so difficult to answer that? Why is that the
third rail politically?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
From the standpoint of.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Anybody, it seems like anybody, if anybody says I think
illegals are collecting, I can't believe you said that. But
it's like, let's state the obvious. Let's call it what
it is.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Well, it's party part and parcel to what party you're
with that, oh with most of that pushback comes from obviously,
you know, we've got a huge influx of illegals. Everybody
knows that that in flux of illegals, whether maybe they're
not signed up for medical day one or maybe they're
still not and maybe they've been in the country for
(14:49):
four or five years, But sooner or later, some of
those people are going to wind up in a hospital
needing medical care. Well, who's going to pay the hospital?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And I think Claudia Shineby in Mexico City is going
to write a check?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, yeah, so you know, I think the biggest question
that I want to know and everybody else wants to know,
is you know, this big beautiful bill, if it stays
like this with cutting illegal immigrants off and actually you
(15:23):
know able body people that can work, is that a
good thing or a bad thing for medical and medicaid.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It's certainly a good thing that the people, I mean,
the people that need medical need medical care. Absolutely they
should be they should be entitled to it and there
but there needs to be a screening process. And if
somebody's able bodied, ready to work, can work, but won't work.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
And there's not a screening process right now, that's what
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's pretty well true exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So we're so President Trump's basically putting in a screening
process now correct, and some rules saying hey, if you're
if you meet these criterias, you can be eligible for
medicaid or medical correct or medicaid.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's the direction that seems like.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And I personally, I'm glad he's going down that road
because I don't want my tax payer money to be
paying for a non non American citizen. That's I'm gonna
say it, because I don't want that. Do I think
if somebody's here and they need medical attention. Yes, okay,
(16:37):
I'm not saying that, but I don't want my tax
dollars going to, you know, somebody that's on medical that
I'm paying for, especially if they could work, right, So,
and that goes for you know, not even being a
legal immigrant or an alien. That goes for an American
citizen that can work too. So don't get that twisted,
(16:58):
you know, I'm for helping somebody that actually needs it.
And I think this screening process is what we need.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Without a doubt. You brought up a point, and I
think it's a good one that sooner or later they
are going to wind up, probably in a hospital. And
I understand that if you'll wind up in an er,
that's probably the most expensive form of care that there is.
And that does not escape me. But some guy who's
(17:27):
not supposed to be here winds up in a hospital,
the hospital is now obliged to provide a level of
care for him. I don't know if they don't get reimbursed.
I don't know if they take those costs and just
bump up the cost of everything and put.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
It on us.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Anyway, And I've heard the argument, and I find it
troubling logical, but troubling that, well, you're paying for him anyway,
and this is a less expensive way to do it.
And then I go back to is there a right
way to do a wrong thing?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Morally?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I don't believe there is. Something is either right or wrong.
But a guy gets hurt going to the hospital, do
we just expect the hospital to eat it or do
we allow them to put it on us?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And that's what's not going to work is and hospitals
are in a lot of hospitals are in trouble already.
They're financially strapped. Maderra Hospital went out of business. As
you recall, there was a federal thing that basically gave
them a boatload of money to get that thing up
and started again.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You know, California just passed that the new law where
illego immigrants were eligible for medical right that they were
actually they can actually get on it and have all
the benefits. Correct.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It did, And then there was some backtracking that it
seemed like Newsom was doing because you know, he realized
that this budget isn't gonna.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Oh so it was in the last two three days,
wasn't it that I heard something about racing.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So basically when they said, oh no, this will save
California money because the illegal aliens that you know, people
in here that's not Americans and they get on medical,
it will help. It'll make things better. That it didn't,
did it?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Not?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Really?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It made it worse, didn't it.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
This is the Trevor Carry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
For Frank today and tomorrow. Make sure you tune in
tomorrow as well. You can hear our beautiful voices. Hey,
we're right now. We're talking to Alan Benoy of Alinoy
Insurance Services about medical and Medicaid and we were kind
of getting into a lot of stuff about Medicare, how
there's no screening process and that's just amazing to me,
(19:43):
how there's no screening process for this for no wonder
it was going bankrupt.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, pretty much with medical. And I'm talking about the
the medical and of medical. And there's also some things
like EBT cards and things like that that right that
provides some cash benefits and so forth. But for medical
it's income based. It is not asset based. What does
that mean? I could have a million dollars in the bank,
(20:11):
but if my income shows that I'm under the twenty
some thousand dollars limit of what maybe W.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Two Oh, I think we have a little technical difficulty.
So hey, I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're
gonna we're just gonna say. I'm gonna tell you what.
What he's trying to tell you, guys is there's a
lot of things that the screening process is going to
help with. And the biggest thing I think is people
(20:44):
that's eligible that they're not going to be eligible and
it's gonna save the program money. So and I think
that is what we need to do and to save
everyone that's on medical and made So Medicaid is medical
is basically medicaid but for California. And let's make sure
(21:07):
we understand that Medicaid is nationwide and if you go
out of California, you're gonna get medicaid. If you're in California,
you're gonna get medical.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So now who's paying for medical? Is only cal or
is it all of us? How does it get funded?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well? Guess what, guys, we got the no more technical difficulty.
So we're out and talk a little bit. Here, go ahead, buddy, Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So Medicare is I'm sorry, back up. Medicaid is the
federal program that gives low income individuals health insurance. Medical
is just California's name or medicaid. So if I'm talking,
if I say, medicaid is medical and medical is medicaid.
Pretty much for today's discussion, seventy percent of the funds
(21:56):
for medical come from the federal government. Thirty percent of
the funds come from the state of California. Could be
through taxes, could be through the general Fund, could be
through some other avenues. But that's how medical is paid for.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Let me ask you this, what can make it better?
Would would put in a screening process make it better?
Would that be one of the issues screening process? I'm
sure that'd make it better.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
You know, what Trump doesn't want to do is knock
everybody in the country off of medical. Wait a minute, Medicaid.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Wait a minute, you mean, big bad Orange Man don't
want to cut everybody off of medical and Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, I mean basically propose something that. Part of it
is the fact that he wants people to work that
are able body earn an income, and based on that
and some other factors, they may or may not be
eligible for a medicaid.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
What a novel idea. Let's help the people that actually
need help create. It is creative, right, I'm thinking that's
what America is built on, you know, it's it's helping
people that want to help themselves. And I believe that
is what's going on here. And when you hear these
people talk about you know, medical medicaid and what President
(23:15):
Trump's trying to do here, you know, they try to
spin it to where it's it's he's super bad. He
just wants to cut this off. He wants to, you know,
make these people hurt. And it's just that's not the case.
It's just not the case.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I got a question for you, Alan with respect to medicare.
What are the options on Medicare? Is it as good
as Blue Cross or Kaiser or anything like that. Does
it cover everything? What's what? Why do I want it?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Why would you want it? Over all that stuff?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, when you turn sixty five, you're not eligible. You
may be eligible for medical as well as Medicare, but
you're not eligible for the individual health insurance. Individual health
insurance market is for people who are from birth to
age sixty four. When you hit sixty five, you're ineligible
for that market. And you are for medical care, which
(24:18):
is the federal government's program for people that are over
sixty five. It's what's been been deducted for your check.
Ever since you started working, you've been paying into Medicare.
Oh yeah, we all know that, paying Social Security and then.
But Medicare doesn't pay everything. Medicare pays part of the bill,
(24:38):
not all of the bill.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So as I understand, I'm basically right now, I've got
private health insurance. I'm just going to get booted by
these guys and I'm forced to go on that. I
can't keep what I have.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
If you keep what you have, you're going to pay
astronomically more for it than if you went on Medicare.
Is it as good? In my opinion, it's better. It's
a lot better. Wow. Medicare by itself doesn't pay everything.
There's copays, there's deductibles, some of those things you'd pay
(25:10):
out of pocket. And what a Medicare supplement does, or
a Medicare advantage plan does is it works with original
Medicare to give you some extra benefits and fill in
the gaps.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So I have a question, Allan, and I know a
lot of people that I know they say, can I
just make a little bit over you know what they say,
I have to you know, earn now ineligible for medical?
What happens if you go over look, you know, say
it's twenty one thousand, you make twenty one thousand and
(25:46):
five hundred dollars. So now what now? What does that
person do?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Okay, So there is a scale, sliding scale if you will,
after you get that medical cap. So for somebody who
has medical we're talking medical here, medical and make slightly
over that medical base limit that makes them eligible. There's
(26:11):
something that's called share of cost, and so you may
get medical with what they refer to as share of cost.
Share of cost maybe eight hundred dollars. What does that mean?
That means that you have to pay the first eight
hundred dollars out of pocket before medical kicks in. That
starts over every month. So if you're in and out
(26:33):
of the emergency room or having other treatment, that means
if you've got share of cost, you've got to pay
that out of your own pocket before medical kicks in.
And you bring up a good point because what if
somebody and I'll give you a real life example. I
had someone call me and they said they called up.
They said they were eligible for medical except for the
(26:55):
fact they were one hundred and twenty six dollars over
the income limit because of their Social Security Wow, and
Medical suggested they call their insurance broker and get a
dental plan or a vision plan or both that would
be slightly over the one hundred and twenty six dollars.
(27:15):
What that did. She no longer had to pay eight
hundred dollars out of her pocket. She paid about one
hundred and thirty dollars and actually I signed her up
for two different dental plans and a vision plan to
hit one hundred and thirty mark. She got full medical
and it's all perfectly legal. There's certain things that subtract
from your income and medical and dental type insurance or
(27:37):
part of it.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
This is the Trevor Kerry Show on the Valley's Power.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Doc Jody Jones and Frank Van Lanningham in for Trevor
today and we are having a good time. And I
want to thank Alan Binoy again for coming in and
giving us a good rundown on medical and medicaid, explaining
the two different and just assuring us that the Grandma's
(28:04):
not going to be cut off. Of medical or medicaid,
like the Democrats are trying to say that it's gonna happen.
That is not gonna happen. Guys, it is not going
to happen. And honestly, we don't even know what's gonna
happen yet, we don't. They're still deliberating and you know,
making dials and and seeing what's going on with what
(28:25):
they're gonna gut, if they're gonna gut anymore, if they're
gonna pass it, you know, and and we'll see, we
will see. But I do want to thank Alan for
coming on and taking the time out because, uh, you know,
this is what he does for a living, and he
took his time out to come up here and explain
all that to everybody, and we just appreciate that. So
right now we're going to talk about the DOJ and
(28:50):
La County.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well it's about darn time, right, That's all I can say.
Because I'm a Native Angelino. Uh, we moved. I was
born in San Diego, but then we bounced and went
to Oxnard, went to Albuquerque and Oliver. But nineteen sixty
seven my family moved back to Los Angeles. And it's
(29:13):
always been dirty and corrupt there, and they've always gotten
away with whatever the heck they wanted because there was
never anybody to put them in check, and especially under Obama,
under Biden, nobody in Los Angeles could do any wrong
because they were all big political donors, fundraisers. And LA
actually put out an ordinance and I had to google this.
(29:35):
It was Ordnance one eight eight four four one. Now,
this was signed by Mayor Bass twenty twenty four, and
it prohibited the use of city resources that means police, firefighters,
anything like this for federal immigration enforcement. It basically said,
we are not going to cooperate with ice periods. So
(29:57):
when they stopped somebody, they're not asking you here legally.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I remember in the old days they used to.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Of course, this was you know, we're talking under Mayor Yorty,
we're talking under Bill Gates when they were a strong city.
But it's kind of fallen away from that. It basically
established LA as a sanctuary city, restricting any cooperation with
federal authorities. The ordinance also was there. They said it
(30:24):
was there to protect immigrant communities by preventing city assets
from being used to assist, you know, in these immigration sweeps.
And what it really was was political pandering, because at
that point they realized they'd all but lost the black vote,
who they'd taken for granted for years and years and years,
and for so much time when the Latino population was
(30:48):
not voting and so many of them ineligible a vote,
they were just basically written off. But now they figure
they're a force to be reckoned with, and God forbid,
now that they've lost the Blacks, they don't want to
lose the Latinos. So the US d o J files
a lawsuit. And this was just the other day.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
No, it was today.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I thought it was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well it's no.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I found out it this morning when I woke up.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
He know, they found they filed it today.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Buddy, Okay, Well, it's basically going out to this ordinance
and it's claiming that it's discriminating against ICE agents and
treating them differently than other law enforcement people, which is
sort of interesting because usually it's like you're treating me
different because of my color, my sexual preference, or whatever.
It is. Now we're treating an ICE agent different than
(31:33):
other law enforcement and it'll be very interesting to see
how this thing. What are your thoughts on.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That, Jodie Well, you know, it's it's with a docking
that that's what they're really doing, the ICE and it's
it's I'm glad the DOJ has just filed the lawsuit
against Los Angeles and I hope they win because it's
going to set up precedence for all sanctuary cities and
I think it's gonna be good for the American people.
(32:00):
Me being an next law enforcement officer, I know exactly what,
uh what this does to the law enforcement community.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It it really builds a wedge.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
They talk about, you know, wanting to protect their communities,
and uh, it does the opposite. It builds a wedge
with law enforcement and the people in the community because
really the ICE agents who they're going after, they're going
after the criminal element within the legal immigration illegal immigrant communities.
And you know, the whole argument is illegal alien. If
(32:33):
you've come over here without you know, illegally, your your criminal.
So but really, what what the President Trump and the
Trumpet administration is really trying to do is going after
the criminal aliens in that community. Uh that's broken the
laws why they're here. Uh, that's you know, and I
(32:54):
don't care what it is if it's you know, Duy's
domestic violence is this, This is the people that are
going after in these what these sanctuary cities are doing
in these counties, they're protecting these people.
