Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Back of the Lake entertainment towners. I've got a couple
of the hipster youth there that like to do that
no shave November, and I tell them they look homeless
and they're going to be homeless if I cut them
off the payroll so that no shave November. The look
like they have fleas when they do that every year.
So hopefully is that still a thing, no shave November?
I guess. Anyway, it's October, so it's no beer today,
so that's a good thing, which reminds me, I woke

(00:21):
up early and didn't shave this morning. Well I woke
up really early, but it was I've always up early,
but I didn't shave this morning. Now I kind of
feel guilty that I'm violating the spirit of the day
on no shaved days, So sorry about that. I apologize.
What else, there's a couple of other days we'll celebrate today,
but good, good to have you here on the show.
I'll get to all of those. But many of you
feel it in the economy in your pocketbook. There's surveys

(00:45):
out that say forty four percent of Americans say they're
falling behind in their monthly payments. A lot of folks
saying their basic necessities are having to go on their
credit cards and from groceries to just gasoline. Some people
say they're barely making the minimum payments or they're falling behind.
So people starting to feel the sting of an inflationary economy.
There's also surveys out there that say Americans when they

(01:10):
ask who do you trust more to fix the economy,
is it Kamala Harris or is it Donald Trump? And
the surveys that I've seen, all the polls that I've
seen say they trust Donald Trump more. They remember the
policies of Trump and they say, let's go back to those.
Let me bring in an expert, a real smart fellaw
on this, doctor Jonathan Newman. He's a fellow at the
Misest Institute, which is a nonprofit organ They exist to

(01:31):
promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of Economics,
individual freedom, honest history, and international peace. And it's doctor
Jonathan Newman on the hotline. Doctor Newman, welcome, Oh, I
got to hit this button. It's my fault. Hang on,
I got to do this. It happened because we had
to reset the computers once again. Doctor Jonathan Newman walking

(01:52):
to the program for having me. Let's dive into this.
Americans say they trust Trump on the economy. However, I
read another head line of we got an ap story
that says, experts say Donald Trump's going to ruin the economy.
Why do the American people trust him? But these so
called experts don't trust him on the economy. Who should
we trust on the economy?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, you definitely shouldn't trust the so called experts. Whenever
I see headlines that claim there's like a group of
experts that have have some sort of opinion about where
the economy is going to go. I think about all
the times that the so called experts have been wrong
about what's going to happen. I mean, think about all
of the missed calls for recessions, think about all of

(02:33):
the mis calls regarding you know, economic growth. And so
I think I think of the American people. They've they've
sort of started to distrust this this expert class simply
because they know that their predictions have been wrong all
the time. And of course, you know, the average American,
they feel the pain in their pocketbook. They don't need
an expert to tell them that, you know, their credit

(02:54):
card bills are up, that prices are up at the
grocery store, and so like. Like you said, there's some
sting with the bills for all households in the United States.
I'm looking at some data right now. It shows that
credit card delinquencies are up about where they were even
higher in two thousand and eight, in two thousand and nine.

(03:14):
So I think the experts are they're just trying to
portray this narrative that if we elect Trump, things are
going to be terrible. They are probably worried about their
own jobs. A lot of these experts have jobs in
federal bureaucracies, and Trump has promised to cut down on bureaucracy,
cut down on regulations. That they're probably just trying to

(03:35):
promote this narrative fear mongering about another Trump presidency.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
The voice of doctor Jonathan Newman. He's a fellow at
the Misis Institute. We'll talk more about the Misis Institute
in just a moment. It's always interesting, though, when you
have experts, whether it's in the health world or the
health or economy, you have these people that say this
is the case, this is the case, But then you
look at where they're funded or where they're employed, they
get grants, they get their paycheck or whatever, their laboratory

(04:01):
or their their outfit gets checks from the government, and
so they kind of have to toe the line and
say what they're supposed to say because the old adage
follow the money, and that's kind of what you're saying
here about these economic experts.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, you see this in
other industries and fields as well, not just in economics,
but how many times have you seen headlines about how,
you know, some pharmaceutical, some food something, where the industry
promoted and funded its own research, and of course the
experts that they found to help them promote the new

(04:36):
drug or promote the new chemical or whatever it is.
Of course the experts found that it's safe, it's effective,
all those sorts of things. So you're absolutely right to
distrust experts, especially when they've been funded by the very
constituency that would benefit by that sort of thing. They
use broadly, I mean, whatever the field is, whatever the
industry is. But in the case of economics, we have

(04:57):
this added issue where it's they're so many economics fallacies.
It's not as simple as you know, just running a
laboratory tests. There's so many fallacies associated with economics, especially
the way that economics has changed over the twentieth century,
where we have all of these state apologists. We have
all these people who are ready to work for the
federal government or work for other governments and be able

(05:20):
to say, yeah, it's okay for you to raise taxes. Yes,
it's okay for us to run the printing press and
inflate the dollar. It's okay for you to add all
these regulations. Because there's all these market failures. So there's
really been a deterioration of in the field of economics
over the years. And the Austrian School you mentioned the
mesas institute to champions Austrian economics. The Austrian School stands

(05:44):
totally against that. So we believe that individuals have their
own values. Subjective value and market prices are important. The
profit and loss tests of the market is important. So
it's a very free market brand of economics, and it's
one that stands that's very different from what you would
find in the mainstream.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Let me ask you this, I'm sitting here reading an
ap story. Sixteen Nobel Prize winning economists signed a letter
in June expressing fear that Trump's proposals would quote reignite inflation.
They also nonpartisan researchers say that they predictive donald Trump
successfully enacts as agenda, it will increase inflation. Help me
reconcile the difference we had low inflation when Trump enacted

(06:25):
his economic policies in his first term. Inflation grows when
his policies went out of vogue. And yet somehow we're
supposed to say we go back to the way it was,
it's going to cause inflation this time as opposed to
lower inflation. Again, I don't like all of Trump's economic policies.
I think we spend too much, and I think we
need to cut some spending. But help me understand how
you get from if we go back to the way

(06:46):
it was with low inflation, this time, it's going to
give us high inflation.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I think those those experts, those Nobel Prize winning economists,
you know, they might be great economists. I think, like
I was saying, there's been this change in in economics
throughout the twentieth century where they sort of apologize for
the state, they make allowances for inflation. They're okay with
the Federal Reserve increasing the money supply, especially during a crisis.

(07:10):
And so I think those economists, I think they misidentify.
I think they're mistaken about the true causes of inflation.
So I think everybody understands that there's a relationship between
the money supply and the price level and prices that
you see as a grocery store, and so I think
that's the true source of inflation. Inflation comes from one
place in one place only, and that's the cartialized banking system,

(07:33):
and it's cartilized under the Federal Reserve. And so what
that means is it's the president, whoever is elected president,
actually doesn't have that much of an effect over inflation.
What really matters is the monetary policy that's enacted by
the Federal Reserve. So if we have big increases in
the money supply, especially in a crisis, then that's going

(07:53):
to lead to more price inflation. If we don't have
a crisis, then we'll sort of be on an even
keel and we won't have inflation. But of course, what
I would prefer is just to take the government down
of money printing entirely. Let's let's give money back to
the people. Let's let's not have a bureaucracy in Washington,
d C. Decide on the value of the dollar.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Again the voice of doctor Jonathan Newman with the Mesa's Institute.
We'll talk more about that and give their website in
just a moment. All right, let's break it down here.
As you said, people are feeling the sting of inflation.
They're maxed out their credit cards, they're delinquent on their
credit cards. Some people are putting groceries and on their
credit card, then paying the minimum and the repeat, rents
and repeat and doing the cycle again. Inflation is really

(08:35):
the thing that is really stinging people. That's the part
of the economy that most people feel. For a while,
we heard we're going to have a soft landing, and
I've heard this week on a couple of shows that
maybe we're not going to have any landing. Nothing's going
to get better where we at. I mean, obviously we
have an election in two and a half weeks. Both
candidates talk about inflation and lowering cost Are we going

(08:59):
to be able to do that? What do we have
to do? And are we going to have a soft
landing or is there going to be no landing?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I definitely don't trust the bureaucrats at the Federal Reserve
to achieve a soft landing. And I think the reason
why it's not it's not because I think that they're
going to use the tools in the wrong way. I
think it's the fact that they have the tools to
begin with. So the Austrian school holds the Austrian business
cycle theory, which which says that we get booms and

(09:26):
busts based on manipulation of credit, manipulation of interest rates.
So the very fact that the Federal Reserve has been
manipulating interest rates, you know, they went back down to
close to zero with the COVID crisis, and of course
we had, you know, many many years of zero interest rates,
and so I think what that means is we've had
misallocations of capital, misallocations of investment for many years. And

(09:49):
so I think I think it's inevitable that we will
have some some sort of correction. We'll we'll definitely have
some sort of hard landing at some point. Now timing
it is a different issue, But the point is that
the very fact that they're manipulating interest rates means that
some sort of hard landing is going to come. There's
nothing that they can really do. To avoid that, you
have to liquidate the capital. You have to find productive

(10:11):
and profitable employment for people and also for capital goods
throughout the economy. And when you have artificially low interest
rates for so long, then you have this sort of
like build up of errors. You have this build up
of malinvested capital, and you get asset bubbles, and we
all know how those end.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Doctor Jonathan Newman again is my guest, a fellow at
the Musa's Institute, nonprofit organization. It's also non political, nonpartisan,
and non PC. So let me ask you this, and
I don't want you to I'm not looking for an
endorsement or anything. But these experts, and we've talked about
who they are, say that Donald Trump's going to raise inflation.
Americans say, hey, we believe in his plan a little

(10:50):
bit better. Is there either candidate or is there a
plan out there that people are going to be able
to that's being circulated that you think would actually start
to reduce what's the cost of inflation? Or is it
all just a bunch of campaign hypen Until changes happen
to the Fed, nothing really matters.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
I think what has to happen is we've got to
get government spending under control, We've got to We've got
to have some deregulation. So the federal government is involved
in every aspect of our lives, every aspect of production.
Every firm has to deal with like this myriad of
federal regulations, and so we've we've got to get that
under control. And for that reason, I think that Trump

(11:28):
offers a better, better plan, a better path forward, as
opposed to, you know, just doing the same thing that
we've been doing under Biden and Harris. So I think
Trump is marginally better. Like you said, I don't agree
with all of Trump's policies. I certainly have lots of
problems with his tear of proposals, but on the whole,
I think Trump offers a better plan. The other thing

(11:51):
about Trump is he sort of represents a middle finger
to the establishment class, which I think a lot of
people understand that that it would be a good thing
to to to make a lot of bureaucrats unemployed. It
would it would be a good thing to see all
of the people in Washington, DC sort of scrambling to
deal with another Trump presidency. So a lot of the

(12:13):
favor for Trump comes from that sort of perspective, it's
it's not just who's who's mix of policies and proposals
is better than the other. A lot of it comes
down to just just the identity, and it comes down
to character, and it comes down to like, who do
I think is going to you know, steer this ship
in a marginally better direction, not necessarily about you know,

(12:35):
pros and cons of policies.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
And another question that in our final couple of moments
together that we have is that Donald Trump has said, hey, listen,
regarding government spending, We're going to grow our way out
of this problem. I've heard some people say there's no
way we're going to grow our way out of this problem.
But then I heard an interview with Art Lafer, the
famed guy that came of that art that Laugher curve.
He says, Oh, it's okay, we can grow our way

(12:58):
out of it. It's just nobody's by cutting spending. The
one's come by bringing spending under control. At least Trump
thinks we can grow out of it. What is your thought?
Laffer says, we can grow out of it. Trump says
we can grow out of it. Other people say there's
no way we're going to have to cut some things.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, I agree. I think that the more that we
can have sustainable economic growth, which means, you know, not
growth that's stimulated by government spending, not growth that's stimulated
by artificially low interest rates. But if we can have
you know, some good, solid economic growth, then that would
be great. And I think that a lot of the
other issues with you know, policies and the size of government,

(13:35):
they're they're going to become less important or not as
burdensome to the extent that we have a stronger private economy.
So I agree with the sentiment. I agree with that
idea there that we we we can grow and that
would make you know, that would make us better off
as a result.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
The Mesa's Institute, doctor Jonathan Newman, he's a fellow at
the Mesa's Institute, And as I said, it's a it's
a great organization. I'll give their website here, and they
promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of Economics,
individual freedom, honest history and international piece. And doctor Newman,
why don't you give us the thumbnail that I haven't

(14:11):
given on the Mesas Institute And where can folks learn more?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Well, I actually have an offer for your listeners if
they go to mesis dot org slash my Money, then
they can get a free copy of Murray Rothbard's What
Has Government Done to Our Money, which is a great
little book on how the Federal Reserve and how the
US government has taken over money and banking in the
United States. It's a great little book. It'll teach you
a lot, and so I highly recommend that you check

(14:36):
that out.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Give us that website mesas dot org and what was the.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Slash slash my money.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
And mesis is I sees my friends and you can
get this a little offered little reading material for you
and educate yourself from the Mesa's Institute mesis dot org
slash my Money. Doctor Newman, it's a pleasure. Thanks for
your time this morning and your expertise. I appreciate you,
and I hope to have you back on the prog
here in the near future, doctor Jonathan Newman, the Mesis

(15:03):
Institute and again their website if you want to get
that offer of some reading about the Federal Reserve and
some of the things that you might be a little
bit more well versed on what's happening with our economic
woes in America and the economic system in America. Mesis
dot org slash my money. Mesis dot org slash my money.
All right, Hey, you know what I want you to

(15:25):
do something today. I want you to make a phone call.
I want you to call Corey Clinton and the team
at one hour heating and air conditioning, and I want
you to get on their schedule. You say, Jimmy, ain't
nothing broke. Nothing's well, Listen, you can prevent something breaking
oftentime by having what I call a maintenance check. I
have Corey Clinton and the team out of my house
twice a year, right before the air conditioning goes on.
And I also have come on right before I flip

(15:45):
the furnace on full time, and I have to do
the maintenance check. I call it a tune up, and
they just kind of look in, make sure it's all clean,
firing correctly, and that way they if there's something lurking
in the problem, there's not a service engine soon light
on your furnace, they can say, hey, you're going to
have a problem with this. When it gets really cold,
it starts running a lot. This is going to be
this is the weak link in your chain. They can
help you find that in advance and prevent a more

(16:06):
costly breakdown or a worse Yet, you're out of town
and it's below zero and your house freezes up. Listen,
you don't want that in the winter. Have them come
do the tune up. Get on their schedule one hour
heating and air conditioning. They've been serving Colorado for thirty
five plus years. These are my guys. This is who
I have at the House of Lakey to come out
and take care of them that I make sure I
stay warm in the winter and the thing stays functional.

(16:26):
And I tell you I've had them do repair. I've
had them do a replacement of the entire HVAC system.
And yeah, have them come out twice a year and
do a maintenance check. I'm a customer. I can vouch
for them. These are the professionals that you want in
your home. One hour Heat and Air dot com slash
Jimmy Lakey. One hour Heat and Air dot com slash
Jimmy Lakey. Give them a call, come on, get on

(16:46):
that schedule for the maintenance check, the tune up eight
five five one hour, eight five five, one hour. Tell
them Jimmy Lakey told you to call eight five to
five one hour. All right, everybody stand by Lakey on
the radio. Jimmy Lakey to be precise, Ji and y
Laky just in case you didn't how to spell it.
I'll be back Laky. Good morning, Happy Friday. Who I'm giddy,

(17:07):
it's Friday. Six hundred k c O l standby, all right,

(18:01):
here we are. It's a good day. It's Friday. If
we watched the Al Smith dinner last night, I thought
it was funny. I really did. I scrolling around on
the Instagram, scrolling around on some of the websites out there,
and even CNN thought Trump was funny. Brian Stetzer, it
was so funny. If you watch that, it's worth watching it.

(18:23):
I listened to it. It doesn't really play well on
the radio. But they went to this panel on CNN
at the end of the Al Smith dinner and Trump
does his little thing. And by the way, they did
have a good point. I think Adam Carolla was on
the he was the wrap up panel on the Fox
News channel, and they said, when do you do a
comedy show, Usually about twenty minutes into your set, someone
has a flashlight in the back and starts with going

(18:44):
to the flashlight. That means, hey, wind it up. And
it was true. Trump does need sometimes some help winding
things up. He needed out of the Republican Convention. He
needed that. Last night he did his thing and he
kind of he called weaves or vamps, and it was
time to wrap it up. Okay, Donald, be quiet. So
that was a fair critique. But when they went to
the C and N panel, it was almost as if

(19:06):
they were covering a famine and a nuclear war and
it was very heavy. What did you think, dollad what'd
you think? And the lady hosting it, and they went
to the Brian Stetuer's there, and he's back at CNN.
If you didn't know, I probably didn't know because you
don't watch it. Stetuer's there and he hates Trump. And
they said, Brian, you go first. I mean, they were like,

(19:26):
this was as if they were covering the state of
the union rights if it was a very epic speech
on world policy. It was a fundraiser for the Catholics.
That just happens to be an American tradition. That's all
it is. Don't take it too seriously. And so Brian,
what did you think of Brian said don't go to
me first, because he knew they were wanting gloom and doom.

(19:46):
They wanted death and destruction. They wanted it to sound
like The Morning Joe. I mean, they wanted it to
sound awful. And he said, I thought it was funny.
It's Satsa hates the orange guy. He didn't like him
at all. He said, oh, it is funny. He says.
The guy's got some PTSD from the assassination attempt, and
he did his best to make light of it. And
he said, I thought it was funny. He got a
few laughs for me. And it was it was, he says.

(20:08):
And they jabbed a Kamala for not being there. And
the hostess or the host of the panelists, the panel host,
she can bay shoes. Isn't that what it's all about.
Kamala was not there. It was it's like Honey lighting
up baby. It's it's a comedy sketch. It's at the
Al Smith dinner. This is not speaking to the United Nations.

(20:28):
It's a bunch of billionaires and millionaires raising money for
Catholic charities. And it just so happens that usually candidates
for both parties are there every four years. It just
so happens that Kamala was the first time since nineteen
eighty four Walter Mondale was the last one to skip,
and so that became fodder, and it was it was okay.
They Gaffigan picked on Trump, he picked on picked on Kamala.

(20:49):
It was it was okay. But the scene so good
for stature. You got to give credit where credit is due.
Good for stature. He goes, listen, you don't want me
to go first, because he knew at his own network
that he was They were expecting him to like, Okay,
we all need to kill ourselves now. Because Donald that's
what they were expecting that fromim. They were wanting that.
And he says, don't start, you go first. When you

(21:10):
go first, you're the only guy on the panel that's
going to get the full amount of time. Right, So
he knows you're going to go to me because you
think I'm going to give the most doomed speech ever.
And I thought Donald Trump was actually funny, and he was.
There were some funny things. As I said, I'm fair,
he should have wound it up a little bit earlier,
but you know, he was funny when he did it.
Did some self deprecating stuff. He said, it's good to

(21:30):
be in New York without a subpoena. Every time I
come here, got a subpoena. That's funny. I'm sorry, I
don't care who you are. That's funny stuff. And it'd
be good to have you here on the show. If
you watched it at all, feel free to jump in.
And you know the same way that people that hate
Trump were trying to on that panel, We're trying to
find gloom and doom and maybe we all should just

(21:52):
hang ourselves now. We got to catch our flights out
of America Donald Trump. Then you had people on the
right side almost like needed a cigarette a towel after it,
and I'm like lighting up, my friends. It was just
a speech that most people in America will never see.
One commentator I've said his name of the six o'clock hour,
probably should have not because I think we're colleagues. But
he said, I think Trump won the election. Trump just

(22:14):
won the No, he didn't. He made some jokes at
the Ausmith dinner raising money for Catholic charities. That's all
he did. And did it go well, yeah? Did it
make it happen? Yeah? Well, I can't tell you how
many times a singular thing happens, that these jackwagons that
somehow have national platforms in television shows and whatever, say
that won the election, that lost the election. Here a

(22:36):
people the other day say, after the Kamala Harris interview
with brettbare she had lost the election. No, she didn't.
Most people never see that interview. Most people don't care.
Most it didn't win the election, doesn't win lose the election.
And anytime you got a commentator that says this won
an election or that lost an election a singular event,
more than likely they're wrong. More than likely they're just that.

(22:58):
They're just click bait. And you have to ask yourself
why you trust him to say anything. Is that too strong?
I mean, stop it. Kamala Harris did not quote lose
an election because she didn't do a good interview. It
might not have helped her. Some people might not have
liked it. But you know a lot of most folks
never see it. So stop acting like, oh that's sway America.
Those undecided, they're not. No, they didn't because they're not

(23:19):
gonna see it. Donald Trump, he was so funny last night.
Even Brian Stetuter thought he was fun. Yeah, but who's
watching Brian Statzer Me. I'm watching him, but nobody else
is else. Everybody else in Colorado was watching the Denver
Broncos beat the Saints. And so these people that make
these statements said, this one thing is going to win
or lose an election. Listen, people are going to get

(23:41):
that ballot and they're gonna most well, some people are
going to go, I don't care what happens. I'm going
to vote for this guy or this woman. I don't
care what happens. We'll put blinders on. They'll never look
at their pocketbook. It's always never my guy's fault. Right.
It's kind of like we keep sending incumbents back to Congress,
but we hate Congress. Always send the incumbents back. It's

(24:01):
easy to get the incumbents back in there. Once you
the incumbent protection Congress that it's easy to get re elected.
Once you're elected once, once you're elected twice, then it's
pretty much automatic. Same thing with the US Senate. Once
you get in, you're good man, because there's so many
benefits in perks and name id that happened with being
the incumbent. And so you do polls and everybody says
I hate the congress. Man, the Congress is of bad,

(24:21):
but not my guy. Keep sending it back, not my girl.
I keep sending it back. Man. The Senate is this,
but no, I keep sending the same people back for years.
I mean people in Delaware cursing the US Senate. They
hated the Senate as bad as we did, but they
send Joe there for forty years. Uh, you can say
that for Republicans as well. It's always not my guy.
My guy's not as bad as their guy's their gay

(24:43):
they It doesn't work that way. And so there's gonna
be people to get that ballot and they're gonna go, Okay,
I'm going to vote for this party. I'm gonna vote
for that party. I'm gonna vote for this guy, this woman,
whatever they're gonna it's just because that's what they've always done,
and there's no real perspective of somebody's policies. Better. It's
I don't like him, I don't like her, I don't
like her cackle, I don't like his orange glow, I
don't like his tweets, I don't like I don't like

(25:06):
her whatever. You're going to have this list, right, and
you're going to vote how you're going to vote, without
ever looking at like specific policies. But I don't think
there's anybody out there in that undecided category says well,
I don't know who I'm going to vote for. But
I saw that man. She stuttered on Brettbaar. She seemed angry.
It may be, it may be a mark on the chalkboard,
but I don't think it's the final straw. And Donald

(25:28):
Trump being funny and getting praised by Brian Stetzer is
not the final straw. So anyway, that was frustrating last
night that you had the CNN panel really expecting Stetra
to give him gloom and doom and he didn't. And
then you had on the Hannity panel you had people
needed a towel and a cigarette and say, this guy's
probably ought to go on the road and be on
the resurrect Johnny Carson from the dead, and it's just

(25:49):
stop it. This is the problem with the twenty four
hour news cycle. People say stupid stuff and it's dumb.
It's just dumb. That's my opinions constitutionally protected. Last I knew,
but not back here Monday. You know what happened. All right,
Good to have you here on the radio show. If
you watched it, love to hear from you. I thought
it was funny. There were some good lines about Gaffigan

(26:12):
did a great job, and again Gaffigan's greatest comment was
the comment that he says, I wasn't going to say that.
I should have struck that from the record, and you
could tell he was like Crod, I I was gonna
not say that one. And it was about Trump in
the last debate talking about cats and immigrants, and he says, well,
this was a second election cycle of which grabbing something
by the kitty has been talked about, Grabbing a kitty

(26:35):
has been talked about it. That was funny. I'm sorry
he said, what that's mean to you Trump? No, it's funny.
Even Trump kind of cracked a little smile on that one.
And the funniest thing against Kamala was he after Kamla
did her video interview or zoom call her a FaceTime
pre recorded Gaffigan came back said, now I know how
my kids felt when I facetimed in for their piano recital.

(26:55):
And that got a cackle as well. It's funny stuff
and comedy, but did it win los an election? I
don't think so. So beware of hyperbolic speakers that speak
in absolutes because it's very complex when people fill out
that ballad. And I don't think the comedy show or
the interview is the final straw. You got to get
out there and vote. You got to talk to your friends,

(27:16):
you got to talk to your neighbors. Maybe I'm wrong,
Maybe I don't read enough into these tea leaves. Maybe
those tea leaves are bigger than I thought. All right, everybody,
stand by Laky on the radio. We'll come back and
get some other news stories of the day. You got
your ballot filled out, mine's filled out, mine's handed in waiting.
I don't haven't got the text confirmation they got it yet.
I got to check that. Stand by six hundred k

(27:37):
col all right, I would like your take if you

(28:19):
watched that thing last night. I thought it was funny,
and I just thought I thought the reactions were funny.
People read so much into that. And again CNN was
covering it like there was a death march and Brian
Stature through and Stetzer can't stand the Orange guy. He
didn't like him at all, he goes it was funny,
lighten up panel, come on, and then you got the

(28:40):
folks on the hand of the show that they were
spiking the football as if they just won a super Bowl.
I'm like, guys, it was a comedy routine that most people.
If you go to the cubicles today, most people are
never going to see it. Okay, don't assume that everybody
knows as much as you do. Don't assume that everybody
is as educated or well versed in the issues as
you are. Most people aren't. Most people have one or

(29:01):
two sources of news, andter of fact, if you only
watch Fox News, you're spiking the football, smoking a cigarette
and a towel like it was good for me. I
hope it's good for you. That's what you're feeling right now.
If you watch the an inmost day should go the
world is on fire, We're all going to go to hell,
and Donald Trump's at a tyrant until Brian's stature then
screw it up. Last night, it's just funny. I'm evidently

(29:24):
I'm not hyperbolic enough. I'm a little bit too pragmatic
for this job. Maybe maybe that's it all right. Good
to have you here on the radio show. If you
want to email me and tell me you love me
or hate me. Jimmy Lakey at iHeartMedia dot com. Jimmy
Lakey at iHeartMedia dot com. It's the funny statures like
please don't make me go first. I know what you want.
I'm not gonna give it to you. He was funny,

(29:44):
just screwed their program up. I don't it was funny.
All right. It was good to have you here on
the show. The Broncos looked good last night, didn't they. Yeah,
they look really good. And that was a good game
by the Broncos. A couple of rushing touchdowns by Javonte Adams,
looking good as a running game. You know, I thought, well,
the Saints are usually a pretty good team. I looked
at their record. They're not having a great year. But

(30:05):
you know, a win is a win. I don't want
to discount and say, well they did. It's it's good
for them. Ten days off the Broncos get and then
they'll be back with that. I think the Carolina Panthers,
I think is their next one up, and that should
be they should be interesting. That should be good. That's
ten days off for the Broncos, so good for them.
It was interesting here Sean Payton, and I appreciated it

(30:25):
the coach of the Broncos talking about how he was
just kind of emotional and he missed a lot of
the camaraderie that he knew in New Orleans, and I
appreciated the human side of him kind of talking about that.
Not all Lexis knows, but if you watched the game
last night, congratulations to all you Broncos fans out there
and good for you all right. This week, I've been
talking a little bit about my charity drive a little

(30:47):
bit and somebody messages me said like, yeah, I want
to give I want to help out a pair of shoes,
this thirty bucks. You mentioned that the sanitary feminine products
are you know, eighty bucks or something for a full
year for a young lady and these are great Christmas gifts.
Is there something you know? You mentioned some food? Is
there something bigger that if I wanted to do something
I could do and I will throw this out there.

(31:07):
We have built Rob Kittle's actually helped us do many
of these. We first got out of this area, people
were like homeless kids living under like they built a
shack with banana leaves and maybe stack some mud up.
It was if you ever looked at National Geographic when
you were a kid, this is this is where we go.

(31:28):
It's it used to do, even more so than it
is now. And we have really changed things up. Clean food,
clean water, all this good stuff were doing. We're doing
the Lord's work out there. But we immediately knew that
kids couldn't go to school to they were homeless because
they can't keep their supplies there, get sick, they literally
die because it's cool there so high elevation rains in Africa,

(31:50):
they get soaking wet, and it's the elevation is pretty decent,
so anyway, bad situation. So we started building houses years ago.
We built a four room kind of a stuck go home,
and the price is now about four thousand bucks to
build one. And the idea is the widow usually has
her kids or abandoned wife or some she's there and
she put hers kids and then they take care of

(32:11):
kids that are homeless into four rooms and it's a
little nice comp of very nice houses. Four thousand bucks.
So I throw that out there if that's what you
and your family would like to contribute for Christmas. We'll
build some houses for some families over Christmas. And matter
of fact, we haven't built by Christmas. If you want
to do that again. Somebody messages me and says, is
there's something else you know? Thirty bucks? I do thirty bucks.

(32:33):
They said I can do one hundred pairs of shoes,
but is there something else that maybe your shoes wear
out is or something else. Well, homes four thousand bucks.
We'll build a home for a I say a widow.
Sometimes they're not all widows, but just yeah, reach out
to me, send me an email if you got questions
on it. But yeah, Rob Kittle, I think is built
like I don't know, ten twelve homes over there for us.

(32:55):
He gives a portion of all of his proceeds to charity.
So maybe it's eight homes. Don't know, it's a year,
a couple of years ago. But yeah, I'll be back
in just a minute. Riverspromise dot Com. Rivers promise dot
org is my charity side. If you want to get
involved with the Christmas drive. Riverspromise dot Com. Riverspromise dot Org.
Everybody stand by. Second half of the program coming up.
Six hundred KCl
