Today is supposed to be the economic blackout boycott to
protest corporate greed.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, today's shop extra hard day.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I wonder how many people are going to actually break
their own boycott, Like if another one sees another activist, Hey,

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Wait, we're out of toilet paper.
Speaker 5 (00:52):

Speaker 4 (01:22):
But leave it to Al Sharpter.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah. So I don't understand why any of these like
who comes up with this idea and go, yeah, that'll
get them. And there was no one in the room
that said, we gotta come up with something better. This
is not this is not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Here's what the things. Here's what you don't understand.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
When companies sell things and they make a profit on it,
it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It creates global warming, it creates uh, racism, racism, I
mean it's it's these companies that sell stuff for profit.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Shame.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Consumers are being encouraged to not spend money, any money
anywhere for one full day.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm shopping my ass off today. I wanted to go home,
and now I'm hitting every store I can.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They also want to target some companies like Amazon, Nestley, Walmart.
Don't specifically shop there too. Late about something on Amazon
this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, I'll never shop at targeting again, I'll put.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
A they're on your list.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, I can't shop it at Target.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
So let's just say that people shopped yesterday because they're
actually going to participate in this or they're gonna stock
back up on Saturday. When you look at the bottom
line of these companies thirty days from now.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
What has changed same? Nothing, sales are the same.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well again, how many people that hate these people are
going to spend double?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Exactly if you're looking at one of them, the Chick
fil A boycott and the lines around the building, remember
the good.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Job was it Goya? Goya products in that house pronounced?
I think so they said, oh, boycott Goya, and everybody
else went on a bycot.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah. Well, sometimes during the entire insanity when they were
getting rid of Angemima and the family of of of
her said, don't know, we love that she's on the bottle,
Come on not they just were going too far. It's
just at some point you just getta stop, just gotta stop,
(03:36):
all right. So again, don't spend any money unless you
really really really have to know.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Today's shop extra hard day. And in fact, you know
what I might do. You know what I you know
what I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Miserable at life.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Life.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But one of the things that I'm glaringly miserable about
is Christmas shopping. I wait till the last second.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's probably find something for someone else.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Here's my suggestion to everybody out there, go Christmas shopping today.
Get it knocked out, all right, do a your Christmas shops.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That or just mocked the whole thing and move on
with your life. I can do that too, right, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Hustle and bustle.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Baby, he's so emotionally connected to.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
All of it.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
That's a hustle, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
House Republicans advanced in Kentucky a bill that would take
fluoride out of the tap water. They've been talking about
this for years. It's been in the water for seventy years.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You know who put it there? Who the lizard people?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, they weren't in charge at that time.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
No lizard people were. Oh no, you were right. Let
me call people.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Were called Tom Cruise. So she's a scientist and he
knows all about.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
House Bill sixteen removes the unfunded state mandate on water
producers that require fluoride to be added to water after
the water is treated. And cleaned for consumption.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
We're going to become England.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, man, teeth is gonna look pretty bad.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Like it doesn't already.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It brightens the teeth a little bit. It keeps it
a little healthier. You're you're assuming that everyone is like
you that brushes their teeth four times a day. That's
why there are some people.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's why in Kentucky we have a toothbrush.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
All the other places in the nation have teeth brush.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Uh they are. There are very few studies that link
higher levels of fluoride to lower IQs. There you go, Dwight.
I wonder poor bone health.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I hope whoever came up with this idea to remove
the fluoride from the water, I hope they honor him
with a plaque.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Not bad.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What they said.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Uh, all right, I got an idea. It's not your
normal water idea, So brace yourself.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah put it back in, damn it. But brace is
going coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You're right there and a bridge too far? So are they?
I think? Okay, the bill has been passed, but it
gives these cities an opportunity to get rid of it.
That doesn't mean they're going to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
What is the impetus for this?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What does impetus mean?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
They're saying, means you can't have relations. They're saying that
floride is undea, you don't need it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Can I redeem myself?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And that's some of the people are saying, well, Floria
does this and this, which is not. You can't prove that, but.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Can I say one thing. Yeah, they're gonna towns that
buy into this. Yeah, they're going to implement this no fluoride.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Do you know when when at tooth thirty yeap.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Knew that was coming in on a train with a
male like we were on uh you know with the
bags tooth thirty standing there waiting for the check at
tooth thirty. Yeah, two thirty, Yeah, we got it.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Most popular dental appointment time, That is.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
When I make my appointment for doctor Karen Babcock.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
They did this years and years ago because teeth, people's
teeth were messed up, like gn We gotta give people
a fighting chance to keep their teeth.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Or they could just brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yes, but that for people back seventy years ago. Not
everybody did that. Okay, that if you were right so
that's why they put it in the water. There was
some good I think effects after that seventy years, So
that's some.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
People claim that they put it in the water to
make us believe that the earth was round.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Ooh, well it works.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Indeed it's flat.
Speaker 2 (07:58):

market this where it doesn't sound as bad.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I wonder how many people sign up for this, or
how many people don't sign.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Up for it and they get it anyway, I'm still
trying to think of a better tooth joke.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, you you crashed and burned on the last two
You think h Gene Hackman and his wife were found.
Now we find out that it's been at least two weeks.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Oh wow, they have been in the house. Good. What
kind of friends do we have?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You people?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Weeks?
Speaker 5 (10:37):
The guy's a big part of the community. Hey, I'm saying,
Gene for two weeks? He's ninety five? Should we check
on him?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
How bad is it?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You make it all the way into ninety five and
then somebody murders you.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, I guess you're lucky.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, of course it is fell and fell and died,
or he just died.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then his wife fell and died, and then the
dog fell and.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Only one of the dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Here's what I think, all right. I think she tried
to get the bottle open like pills, like heart pillar
or something, and then couldn't and then passed out right
there and died, and the pills spilled all over the floor.
And then he found her and then turned to go
because you know, it takes a while for him to
turn and get to the phone.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, yes, just picture a d m V work.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
So so he he's trying to get away and then
he dies because it's hitting him that she's dead, and
he's heart broken and right, and he dies in the mud.
And then the dog starves to death because he was
in a ken he was in the kennel. Oh he
did die and starved. Oh I didn't even think of that.
(11:46):
You're right, that's how the dog died.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
We throw that on me, mate.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You should see his face right now, Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
It's like it's like a bad three stooges a bit.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
You're you're crushing Dwight right now.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You don't understand it. I was having got half ass
good day.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I drive in, there's no traffic, the sun shining, My
shady rays were perfect working with me. Yeah, and then
I get here and you throw this dead dog in
a cage thing on me.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I know it was in a cage, neither.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Are you sure he was in a kennel in the closet?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Are you what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
What the heck's that?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
What is that about?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Man died by himself in the dark. That's even worse.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
That's where you put children that misbehave.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, you do not, David.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Where was Hillary Clinton two weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Stop? It's so stupid, so stupid. So the Clinton's killed
that stop?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Like the looks that dog. Put him in a kendle,
throw him in a closet.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But this further is my point that we as Americans
don't care about our old folks.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
No money checked on them.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
That's right. Most cultures around the world, old folks live
with one of the one of the daughters, or those
the kids, or the siblings. They revere their elders, correct, right,
But in America we ship them off. Where's the nearest home?
Drop them off?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
That's too expensive, found an everyone?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Mom, Right, that's too expensive. Okay, that's way too nice
for our parents. That's uh, that's right. Be back to

Speaker 2 (13:29):
He worked a lot, so I'm going to say I'm
with Dave. Let's go forty million.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Eighty million bucks.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, good for that.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It seems like could get a lady walk around the
house and go, mister Hackman, what's he opening these pills
for you?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It really is. I think it needs to spur some conversations.
Why is Gene Hackman and his wife only discovered by
the exterminator? That's not what may I draw your back.
(14:03):
I hope you all are happy.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I mean, in box, you got two ladies walking around
house doing that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Right, So let's go back in time. Tell your parents
that you're gonna this is what you're gonna do for
a living. You're gonna get on the radio. I'm gonna
do these noises, dad, and they're gonna pay me, and
your dad's gonna go that's a lie.

blood jugg in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (15:23):

decades because he wouldn't hit on anything over twelve. I
think that was your joke of the day. Yeah, last
day of February twenty eighth, Eah, last day baby of March.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
When is that the eides of marches at the June
June fifteenth, the sides of marches in June.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Well, they moved.
Speaker 2 (15:48):

Speaker 1 (15:49):

town or helping someone out, and you knew once the
Rifleman gets back, oh, these guys are going to pay
pa oh, Paul, Paul.

Stick around more on the Way News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh yeah, I like money, Dave you like money?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Sure do?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I like money?
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Don't have enough of it?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I the last couple of days, the rubber is meeting
the road here when it comes to Social Security and
some new laws passing that are going to eliminate some taxes.
It hasn't pushed through or voted through. The houses is
voted on it. But to me, this is the most
significant thing to happen to retirement. And I'm probably wrong.
(20:51):
There might be a more significant thing to happen in
the last couple of decades. That's why I wanted to
bring in Alan Mercurio for Mercurial Wealth Advisors. Alan, how
are you?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I'm doing great? Man. I love that intro music.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You like it? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Come out?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Alan?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know I called you in and I said, what
this seems very significant to me? Where are you at
with this? Because I think, look, part of what you
do is the Retirement three sixty program, which is everything
you know the reason it's called three sixties because they
cover everything, and part of that is taxes in retirement.
And I would think that if they eliminate Social Security
(21:29):
taxes on Social Security money, that's the most significant event
to happen to retirement in quite some time.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean, I think that it
puts a lot more a lot more money, a lot
more spending power in our retire's hands where we don't
have to worry about giving it back. I mean, that's
you know, we've long said that taxes are more than
likely going to be your highest expense in retirement, and
it's true because you know, now we're taking money out
(21:58):
of a four one ks. Maybe you got to pinch
and maybe get some other income coming in on top
of your solid security, and that that all becomes taxable.
So uh, that to me, I think that if they
can eliminate the taxes on SOID security, that would be huge.
I would like to see him go a couple more steps.
I mean, I was just talking to a client the
other day that he's wanting to do some stuff for
(22:19):
his grandkids, and all of his money that he saved
is in IRA accounts. So all of it's going to
be taxable when he takes it out. So one of
the things that retires have trouble with or fall into, Uh,
it's a problem with them is that if they take
too much out, they have their their insurance like their
Medicare premium and stuff like that is based on their
(22:41):
income they receive. So it kind of ties your hands.
But but this would be great. I mean, if they
can eliminate taxes on SOID security, I think it's going
to you know, help help retires at least maybe do
a little bit more planning that that that's not available
to him right now.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
That kind of jumps out at me when you say
the words, in most cases the biggest expense for right
retirees is taxes. It just feels wrong, Well doesn't feel wrong, it.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Does, and especially when you think about it, Tony, when
you know, we always used to hear from our parents
and well from everybody and financial service industry was you know,
uh said this for years is that when you get
when you retire, you're going to you're you're gonna pay
lower taxes. And what's we're finding is that that's not
necessarily the case. Because you know, this generation has a
(23:37):
lifestyle that they want to continue to do and have
have fun traveling and stuff like that. It takes money
to do that. And what have we all done. We've
all saved our money in the world one k's or
I ras or things that haven't been tied. Yeah, roth
has is something that we've we've been uh you know,
(23:58):
screaming that from the mountain hop over the last four
or five years. Is if you've got money in a
regular IRA account, try to turn it over to a
row and you can convert that over to a rock.
You have to pay the taxes. But again, what's happening
is everybody's got there, you know, just like it'skan I
was talking to you. Everything he's got is in IRA account,
so he's never paid tax on which has been great
(24:19):
for saving it and for growing it. The problem is
now when you take it out now you've got to
pay taxes on it, or when you when you reach
age seventy three and soon to be seventy five, you
have to take that required minimum distribution out right. So
what you know, if you if you were lucky enough
to save a million dollars in your four O one
K or more and you you know, just kind of
(24:39):
living life on your Social Security now and you think, oh,
I'm good, I don't need to you know, I'm not
paying any taxes and everything. Guess what at age's seventy
three or seventy five. When you start taking that money
out or required minimum distributions, taxes are going to be
you know, hitching the face because you're going to have
to pay taxes on all that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
So soial security taxes does it penalize me? Am I penalized?
Let's say Jackie and I retire tomorrow, we're sixty two
and a half, We're going to take the early thing?
Are we doubly tax Like? How bad is it to
join file taxes on our Social Security together? Or should
we do that separate? Or I'm you know, obviously that's
what you do is maximize to look, pay your fair
(25:21):
share of what it's legal, But you don't want to
pay one dollar.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
More right, I mean, and I think everybody feels that way.
I mean, we we've got a great country that's got
great benefits, and it takes money to run that, and
you know they're finding that, you know, we've been wasting
some of that money, which I'm all in favor of
crawling some of that, but the yeah, I mean, I
think you have to you have to look at your
situation that income is going to be taxed. Another thing,
(25:45):
if they don't completely take tax away from or Social
Security out of the taxable column. What I'd like to
see him to do is at least raise the income
thresholds because I think under all Reagan's watch, tax or
so Security first became taxable.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yep, eighty four so up, yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
So up to I think it's like well forty four
thousand dollars now that that you can if filing seeing
or filing jointly, you're gonna anything over that fifty percent
of your money can be taxable. And and then and
I may have that number wrong, but the thresholds haven't changed,
they haven't kept up with everything. So now I think
(26:27):
when Clinton was president it went up up as much
as eighty five percent of your money can be taxable.
So uh yeah. The thing is that they need to
at least keep those thresholds moving upward a little bit
so that you're not handcuffed when you, you know, get
to retirement. You got all this money in your four
one K and you have to you know, start taking
this money out.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Well to me and you and I have had this
conversation a lot. Imagine trying to play a game where
you don't know the rules, right, the ref is going
to blow the whistle all the time, and you're you're
continue to get to be penalized. You got to have
a coach and you've got to find out the rules
before you retire. It literally is the greatest translation is
imagine playing a game where you don't know any of
(27:09):
the rules. You're gonna lose. Yep, you got to know
the rules. If not, you're going to lose in retirement. Alan,
how do they get the book? And then what's the
best way to make an appointment with you?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Yeah, So what we've done Troy put this took our
process about a year and a half ago and put
it in a paperback book, and it's a great way
to at least find out what's going on in retirement,
what kind of steps you need to take understanding our
process and what we do in mercurial wealth advisors. But
you can text the word book be okay to favo
(27:43):
to two seven to three eleven eighty eight. We'll immediately
send you a link to where you can look at
it on your device or whatever. But then we'll follow
up with you with a phone call and we'll actually
send you a paperback book. And a lot of people
still like to read the books. I'm in one of
those guys. I like to have the book in my hand.
But yeah, we'll send that book out and it's a
it's a great first step for you just to understand
(28:05):
what you're looking at, Understanding some of those rules. Now
we don't cover all of them in the book, and
we cover a lot of them, and understanding that you
have to really put some planning, put some thought into
this thing called retirement, because it'll it'll kind of kick
you in the bout if you don't.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
All right, al mercurio, we love you, buddy, talk to
you soon, take care of.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
All right, appreciate your time and go cards.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
You got to go. I love it, Go cards, go Krogery.
Thanks Allan. Yeah, I mean the taxes on your sod
security could really be a lot and you've got to
understand the rules and what the taxes are. And if
you're married, are you you know, do they increase that
rate which don't give the money away that you don't
need to for sure. All right, short break, we'll come back.

I did hear where Seaman Johnny just said Epstein hung himself.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
True, that's uh true. Technically those oh yeah down hung. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's common for cameras just go out for fifteen to thirty.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Minutes and two guards fall asleep at the same time.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Today is supposed to be the economic blackout boycott to
protest corporate greed.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, today's shop extra hard day.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I wonder how many people are going to actually break
their own boycott, Like if another one sees another activist, Hey,
I saw you at the car wash line spending money.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Wait, we're out of toilet paper.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Well, Al Sharpton said you should have stocked up.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hey, where'd you get that beautiful nose ring? And Henderson's
on sale right now? Okay, maybe just just once, I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I'm just gonna just this, just this one thing, and
then I'm gonna go home. I'm not gonna buy anything else, just.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
This big, gigantic thing that makes my ear lobes huge.
I am other than that.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I am getting my hair done today, but that doesn't
count because it was booked before.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah it is it blue and purple.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Okay, I didn't I didn't think the smartest richest man
on the planet, Elon Musk, could be brought down.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
But leave it to Al Sharpter.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah. So I don't understand why any of these like
who comes up with this idea and go, yeah, that'll
get them. And there was no one in the room
that said, we gotta come up with something better. This
is not this is not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Here's what the things. Here's what you don't understand.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
When companies sell things and they make a profit on it,
it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It creates global warming, it creates uh, racism, racism, I
mean it's it's these companies that sell stuff for profit.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Shame.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Consumers are being encouraged to not spend money, any money
anywhere for one full day.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm shopping my ass off today. I wanted to go home,
and now I'm hitting every store I can.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They also want to target some companies like Amazon, Nestley, Walmart.
Don't specifically shop there too. Late about something on Amazon
this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, I'll never shop at targeting again, I'll put.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
A they're on your list.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, I can't shop it at Target.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
So let's just say that people shopped yesterday because they're
actually going to participate in this or they're gonna stock
back up on Saturday. When you look at the bottom
line of these companies thirty days from now.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
What has changed same? Nothing, sales are the same.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well again, how many people that hate these people are
going to spend double?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Exactly if you're looking at one of them, the Chick
fil A boycott and the lines around the building, remember
the good.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Job was it Goya? Goya products in that house pronounced?
I think so they said, oh, boycott Goya, and everybody
else went on a bycot.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah. Well, sometimes during the entire insanity when they were
getting rid of Angemima and the family of of of
her said, don't know, we love that she's on the bottle,
Come on not they just were going too far. It's
just at some point you just getta stop, just gotta stop,
(03:36):
all right. So again, don't spend any money unless you
really really really have to know.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Today's shop extra hard day. And in fact, you know
what I might do. You know what I you know
what I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Miserable at life.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Life.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But one of the things that I'm glaringly miserable about
is Christmas shopping. I wait till the last second.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's probably find something for someone else.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Here's my suggestion to everybody out there, go Christmas shopping today.
Get it knocked out, all right, do a your Christmas shops.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That or just mocked the whole thing and move on
with your life. I can do that too, right, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Hustle and bustle.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Baby, he's so emotionally connected to.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
All of it.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
That's a hustle, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
House Republicans advanced in Kentucky a bill that would take
fluoride out of the tap water. They've been talking about
this for years. It's been in the water for seventy years.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You know who put it there? Who the lizard people?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, they weren't in charge at that time.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
No lizard people were. Oh no, you were right. Let
me call people.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Were called Tom Cruise. So she's a scientist and he
knows all about.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
House Bill sixteen removes the unfunded state mandate on water
producers that require fluoride to be added to water after
the water is treated. And cleaned for consumption.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
We're going to become England.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, man, teeth is gonna look pretty bad.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Like it doesn't already.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It brightens the teeth a little bit. It keeps it
a little healthier. You're you're assuming that everyone is like
you that brushes their teeth four times a day. That's
why there are some people.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's why in Kentucky we have a toothbrush.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
All the other places in the nation have teeth brush.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Uh they are. There are very few studies that link
higher levels of fluoride to lower IQs. There you go, Dwight.
I wonder poor bone health.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I hope whoever came up with this idea to remove
the fluoride from the water, I hope they honor him
with a plaque.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Not bad.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What they said.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Uh, all right, I got an idea. It's not your
normal water idea, So brace yourself.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah put it back in, damn it. But brace is
going coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You're right there and a bridge too far? So are they?
I think? Okay, the bill has been passed, but it
gives these cities an opportunity to get rid of it.
That doesn't mean they're going to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
What is the impetus for this?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What does impetus mean?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
They're saying, means you can't have relations. They're saying that
floride is undea, you don't need it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Can I redeem myself?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And that's some of the people are saying, well, Floria
does this and this, which is not. You can't prove that, but.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Can I say one thing. Yeah, they're gonna towns that
buy into this. Yeah, they're going to implement this no fluoride.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Do you know when when at tooth thirty yeap.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Knew that was coming in on a train with a
male like we were on uh you know with the
bags tooth thirty standing there waiting for the check at
tooth thirty. Yeah, two thirty, Yeah, we got it.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Most popular dental appointment time, That is.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
When I make my appointment for doctor Karen Babcock.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
They did this years and years ago because teeth, people's
teeth were messed up, like gn We gotta give people
a fighting chance to keep their teeth.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Or they could just brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yes, but that for people back seventy years ago. Not
everybody did that. Okay, that if you were right so
that's why they put it in the water. There was
some good I think effects after that seventy years, So
that's some.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
People claim that they put it in the water to
make us believe that the earth was round.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Ooh, well it works.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Indeed it's flat.
Speaker 2 (07:58):

Fourth highest number of homeless people per capita in the nation.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Who's number one?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't know, right, you could do this. You could
market this where it doesn't sound as bad.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I wonder how many people sign up for this, or
how many people don't sign.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Up for it and they get it anyway, I'm still
trying to think of a better tooth joke.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, you you crashed and burned on the last two
You think h Gene Hackman and his wife were found.
Now we find out that it's been at least two weeks.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Oh wow, they have been in the house. Good. What
kind of friends do we have?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You people?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Weeks?
Speaker 5 (10:37):
The guy's a big part of the community. Hey, I'm saying,
Gene for two weeks? He's ninety five? Should we check
on him?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
How bad is it?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You make it all the way into ninety five and
then somebody murders you.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, I guess you're lucky.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, of course it is fell and fell and died,
or he just died.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then his wife fell and died, and then the
dog fell and.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Only one of the dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Here's what I think, all right. I think she tried
to get the bottle open like pills, like heart pillar
or something, and then couldn't and then passed out right
there and died, and the pills spilled all over the floor.
And then he found her and then turned to go
because you know, it takes a while for him to
turn and get to the phone.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, yes, just picture a d m V work.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
So so he he's trying to get away and then
he dies because it's hitting him that she's dead, and
he's heart broken and right, and he dies in the mud.
And then the dog starves to death because he was
in a ken he was in the kennel. Oh he
did die and starved. Oh I didn't even think of that.
(11:46):
You're right, that's how the dog died.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
We throw that on me, mate.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You should see his face right now, Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
It's like it's like a bad three stooges a bit.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
You're you're crushing Dwight right now.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You don't understand it. I was having got half ass
good day.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I drive in, there's no traffic, the sun shining, My
shady rays were perfect working with me. Yeah, and then
I get here and you throw this dead dog in
a cage thing on me.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I know it was in a cage, neither.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Are you sure he was in a kennel in the closet?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Are you what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
What the heck's that?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
What is that about?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Man died by himself in the dark. That's even worse.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
That's where you put children that misbehave.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, you do not, David.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Where was Hillary Clinton two weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Stop? It's so stupid, so stupid. So the Clinton's killed
that stop?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Like the looks that dog. Put him in a kendle,
throw him in a closet.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But this further is my point that we as Americans
don't care about our old folks.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
No money checked on them.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
That's right. Most cultures around the world, old folks live
with one of the one of the daughters, or those
the kids, or the siblings. They revere their elders, correct, right,
But in America we ship them off. Where's the nearest home?
Drop them off?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
That's too expensive, found an everyone?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Mom, Right, that's too expensive. Okay, that's way too nice
for our parents. That's uh, that's right. Be back to
see in a month.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Mom, there medicare bet available.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Let's let's do it. Gene Hackman's net.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Worth fifty million.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
He worked a lot, so I'm going to say I'm
with Dave. Let's go forty million.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Eighty million bucks.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, good for that.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It seems like could get a lady walk around the
house and go, mister Hackman, what's he opening these pills
for you?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It really is. I think it needs to spur some conversations.
Why is Gene Hackman and his wife only discovered by
the exterminator? That's not what may I draw your back.
(14:03):
I hope you all are happy.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I mean, in box, you got two ladies walking around
house doing that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Right, So let's go back in time. Tell your parents
that you're gonna this is what you're gonna do for
a living. You're gonna get on the radio. I'm gonna
do these noises, dad, and they're gonna pay me, and
your dad's gonna go that's a lie.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
It's like the scene with the EMU going off to
you're the emu.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
He starts walking down.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Comedian Alex Riemundo chimes, it's his perfect day to buy
number one tequila owned by Patriots.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
All right, let's do jokes of the day. Let's get
this fried yay.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
No, we don't do that on the show. We call
it Friday.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Friday.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
All right, you do the joke as Gene Hackman's mate.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
No stop, please, don't. It's annoying. Miss my microphones off off?
Hey stop?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Please? Did you know that Michael Jackson like to play
blood jugg in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'm not participating, but he doesn't want a hand in
decades because he wouldn't hit on anything over twelve. I
think that was your joke of the day. Yeah, last
day of February twenty eighth, Eah, last day baby of March.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
When is that the eides of marches at the June
June fifteenth, the sides of marches in June.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Well, they moved.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
That would make sense.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
When they moved because it was racist in March.
Speaker 2 (15:52):

It's called The Last Rifleman.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
M Yeah, it's about Chuck Carter.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yes, and he goes up to Big Sandy and Micah.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I tell you that was my favorite show as a kid.
Cash is the Rifleman.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Paul, What the.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Hell good is it having Micah as a sheriff because
every episode.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
The Rifleman solved the problem.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Every episode Micah stops by Cotter's ranch. Yes, and he goes, hey,
Chuck Cotter, I'm gonna go up to Big Sandy.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
And as a kid, all you had to do was
like anytime trouble happened, is when the Rifleman was out
of town, right, he was doing something in near his
town or helping someone out, and you knew once the
Rifleman gets back, oh, these guys are going to pay
pa oh, Paul, Paul.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
And then Big Sandy said.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
What do you guys?
Speaker 4 (17:38):

Stick around more on the Way News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh yeah, I like money, Dave you like money?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Sure do?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I like money?
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Don't have enough of it?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I the last couple of days, the rubber is meeting
the road here when it comes to Social Security and
some new laws passing that are going to eliminate some taxes.
It hasn't pushed through or voted through. The houses is
voted on it. But to me, this is the most
significant thing to happen to retirement. And I'm probably wrong.
(20:51):
There might be a more significant thing to happen in
the last couple of decades. That's why I wanted to
bring in Alan Mercurio for Mercurial Wealth Advisors. Alan, how
are you?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I'm doing great? Man. I love that intro music.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You like it? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Come out?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Alan?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know I called you in and I said, what
this seems very significant to me? Where are you at
with this? Because I think, look, part of what you
do is the Retirement three sixty program, which is everything
you know the reason it's called three sixties because they
cover everything, and part of that is taxes in retirement.
And I would think that if they eliminate Social Security
(21:29):
taxes on Social Security money, that's the most significant event
to happen to retirement in quite some time.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean, I think that it
puts a lot more a lot more money, a lot
more spending power in our retire's hands where we don't
have to worry about giving it back. I mean, that's
you know, we've long said that taxes are more than
likely going to be your highest expense in retirement, and
it's true because you know, now we're taking money out
(21:58):
of a four one ks. Maybe you got to pinch
and maybe get some other income coming in on top
of your solid security, and that that all becomes taxable.
So uh, that to me, I think that if they
can eliminate the taxes on SOID security, that would be huge.
I would like to see him go a couple more steps.
I mean, I was just talking to a client the
other day that he's wanting to do some stuff for
(22:19):
his grandkids, and all of his money that he saved
is in IRA accounts. So all of it's going to
be taxable when he takes it out. So one of
the things that retires have trouble with or fall into, Uh,
it's a problem with them is that if they take
too much out, they have their their insurance like their
Medicare premium and stuff like that is based on their
(22:41):
income they receive. So it kind of ties your hands.
But but this would be great. I mean, if they
can eliminate taxes on SOID security, I think it's going
to you know, help help retires at least maybe do
a little bit more planning that that that's not available
to him right now.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
That kind of jumps out at me when you say
the words, in most cases the biggest expense for right
retirees is taxes. It just feels wrong, Well doesn't feel wrong, it.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Does, and especially when you think about it, Tony, when
you know, we always used to hear from our parents
and well from everybody and financial service industry was you know,
uh said this for years is that when you get
when you retire, you're going to you're you're gonna pay
lower taxes. And what's we're finding is that that's not
necessarily the case. Because you know, this generation has a
(23:37):
lifestyle that they want to continue to do and have
have fun traveling and stuff like that. It takes money
to do that. And what have we all done. We've
all saved our money in the world one k's or
I ras or things that haven't been tied. Yeah, roth
has is something that we've we've been uh you know,
(23:58):
screaming that from the mountain hop over the last four
or five years. Is if you've got money in a
regular IRA account, try to turn it over to a
row and you can convert that over to a rock.
You have to pay the taxes. But again, what's happening
is everybody's got there, you know, just like it'skan I
was talking to you. Everything he's got is in IRA account,
so he's never paid tax on which has been great
(24:19):
for saving it and for growing it. The problem is
now when you take it out now you've got to
pay taxes on it, or when you when you reach
age seventy three and soon to be seventy five, you
have to take that required minimum distribution out right. So
what you know, if you if you were lucky enough
to save a million dollars in your four O one
K or more and you you know, just kind of
(24:39):
living life on your Social Security now and you think, oh,
I'm good, I don't need to you know, I'm not
paying any taxes and everything. Guess what at age's seventy
three or seventy five. When you start taking that money
out or required minimum distributions, taxes are going to be
you know, hitching the face because you're going to have
to pay taxes on all that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
So soial security taxes does it penalize me? Am I penalized?
Let's say Jackie and I retire tomorrow, we're sixty two
and a half, We're going to take the early thing?
Are we doubly tax Like? How bad is it to
join file taxes on our Social Security together? Or should
we do that separate? Or I'm you know, obviously that's
what you do is maximize to look, pay your fair
(25:21):
share of what it's legal, But you don't want to
pay one dollar.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
More right, I mean, and I think everybody feels that way.
I mean, we we've got a great country that's got
great benefits, and it takes money to run that, and
you know they're finding that, you know, we've been wasting
some of that money, which I'm all in favor of
crawling some of that, but the yeah, I mean, I
think you have to you have to look at your
situation that income is going to be taxed. Another thing,
(25:45):
if they don't completely take tax away from or Social
Security out of the taxable column. What I'd like to
see him to do is at least raise the income
thresholds because I think under all Reagan's watch, tax or
so Security first became taxable.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yep, eighty four so up, yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
So up to I think it's like well forty four
thousand dollars now that that you can if filing seeing
or filing jointly, you're gonna anything over that fifty percent
of your money can be taxable. And and then and
I may have that number wrong, but the thresholds haven't changed,
they haven't kept up with everything. So now I think
(26:27):
when Clinton was president it went up up as much
as eighty five percent of your money can be taxable.
So uh yeah. The thing is that they need to
at least keep those thresholds moving upward a little bit
so that you're not handcuffed when you, you know, get
to retirement. You got all this money in your four
one K and you have to you know, start taking
this money out.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Well to me and you and I have had this
conversation a lot. Imagine trying to play a game where
you don't know the rules, right, the ref is going
to blow the whistle all the time, and you're you're
continue to get to be penalized. You got to have
a coach and you've got to find out the rules
before you retire. It literally is the greatest translation is
imagine playing a game where you don't know any of
(27:09):
the rules. You're gonna lose. Yep, you got to know
the rules. If not, you're going to lose in retirement. Alan,
how do they get the book? And then what's the
best way to make an appointment with you?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Yeah, So what we've done Troy put this took our
process about a year and a half ago and put
it in a paperback book, and it's a great way
to at least find out what's going on in retirement,
what kind of steps you need to take understanding our
process and what we do in mercurial wealth advisors. But
you can text the word book be okay to favo
(27:43):
to two seven to three eleven eighty eight. We'll immediately
send you a link to where you can look at
it on your device or whatever. But then we'll follow
up with you with a phone call and we'll actually
send you a paperback book. And a lot of people
still like to read the books. I'm in one of
those guys. I like to have the book in my hand.
But yeah, we'll send that book out and it's a
it's a great first step for you just to understand
(28:05):
what you're looking at, Understanding some of those rules. Now
we don't cover all of them in the book, and
we cover a lot of them, and understanding that you
have to really put some planning, put some thought into
this thing called retirement, because it'll it'll kind of kick
you in the bout if you don't.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
All right, al mercurio, we love you, buddy, talk to
you soon, take care of.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
All right, appreciate your time and go cards.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
You got to go. I love it, Go cards, go Krogery.
Thanks Allan. Yeah, I mean the taxes on your sod
security could really be a lot and you've got to
understand the rules and what the taxes are. And if
you're married, are you you know, do they increase that
rate which don't give the money away that you don't
need to for sure. All right, short break, we'll come back.
(28:50):
Got this guy Matt I forget his name. Well, we'll
get him on a little bit later in the show.
To chime in, We've got maybe a story about crushing cars.
We'll find out more later.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I'm looking at I'm looking at a video that John
