WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.759 Not a clue. That's for you, buddy. It is uh, he 2 00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.359 is back on Dixie Highway. Yes, it is back at his home home 3 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:14.560 town. Basic, Holly, I'm talking. I lived just about a mile 4 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.719 up north here. Yeah, we're in the fifty three hundred block. I 5 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.920 was in the four thousand block of Dixie Highway. Honey. The old person's 6 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.000 from the South End. Don't worry. They'll tell you south sidea tight six 7 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.519 tight south side. Probably there. I thought they had badges like they would 8 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.439 actually wear South End born. Yeah, damn right, we do. But 9 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.320 listen, we are at Harty's at Blanton and Dixie. Come on by and 10 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.560 say hi, we're out here supporting a wonderful cause. It's USA Cares, 11 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.759 Folks. I'm on the knees of my heart. If you haven't adopted a 12 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.560 charity an organization for you and your family, please look into USA Cares at 13 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:58.079 USA care dot org at Charity Navigator that looks into charities. They have given 14 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:03.280 them a four out of score, four out of four perfect score, and 15 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.719 it's one hundred percent. Only three percent of charities have done that. So 16 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.480 when you give the USA Cares, you're actually helping out the men and women 17 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.599 that protect and served us, and they do it in a big way. 18 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.120 Maybe a veteran can't make the mortgage note, maybe they can't make their rent, 19 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.799 maybe they can't make their lg and ei, there's a food scarcity. 20 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.480 It goes on and on and on. All these men and women do is 21 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:30.120 take care of those that took care of us by serving our countries. I 22 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.640 bring in state representative, one of the hottest state representatives in Frankfurt, my 23 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:42.200 wife, Susan. I don't think I have a bio on her. My 24 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:53.519 bio is ingrained. Okay, we bring state Representative Susan Tyler Witten. How 25 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.319 did you get in touch with USA CARES. I mean sure, Well, 26 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.560 when I was running for for state representative in District thirty one, part of 27 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.120 running is knowing your district and knowing who and what what businesses and organizations are 28 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:14.919 in your district. I found out that the national headquarters of USA CARES is 29 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.080 right in the middle, that's right of District thirty one. So I was 30 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.759 super excited that such a wonderful organization that I got to have that in my 31 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.039 district. So from that moment I really started. I made an introduction and 32 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.680 started meeting the great folks there and really found out so much about USA Cares 33 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.759 and what good it does for veterans. And so from that, from that 34 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.120 moment on, I've been kind of advocating for him and fighting for him. 35 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.280 And I love, I love to see that we're here today that Hardy's and 36 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.000 Carls Junior is being such a great advocate for him, and I just excited 37 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.039 for people to know more about the organization, not just that you haven't been 38 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.919 sitting on your hands in Frankfurt for some of the budgetary issues for USA Cares. 39 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.919 I believe that two years in a row that Frankfort has decided it's important 40 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.080 to have them in Kentucky. And you guys kind of up their their takeawak 41 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.800 we did. I fought hard. Senator Julie Rocky Adams fought really hard, 42 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:20.759 and this year we we won and got the two million dollars in the budget 43 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.599 for care so much needed they and they and they need it. They need 44 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.919 it now because as you all have talked about, how many veterans are in 45 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.680 need every single day. They're they're at risk of losing their home, they 46 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:42.479 need a mental health and and USA Care is an organization that needs that needs 47 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.000 those dollars so that they can that they can do what they see. Fit 48 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.800 Ton Representative Susan Tyler Whitten about USA Cares, she's the one actually uh tuned 49 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.520 me into USA Care as a matter of fact. But when you say there's 50 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.879 a need, a financial need, you know, having frankfort chip in, 51 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.960 that's all well and good. I bless you all for doing that. God 52 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.680 bless you Julie rock Adams, the rest of the General Assembly that did so. 53 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.159 But there is a financial need, and I mean in a big way. 54 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.439 And here's what I'm talking about. We were talking to the former Chairman 55 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.120 of the Board, Bill Roby earlier, and we're talking about one hundred and 56 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.959 fifty to two hundred calls from veteran families that are in desperate need. And 57 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.800 that's weekly weekly. So if you are looking for a charity to donate, 58 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.040 well, and to your point that the FEDS are contacting USA Cares, like 59 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:40.240 the Veteran administrations are saying go to these guys. That's well they do. 60 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.120 It's helping people and it's good and bad. I mean, it's a great 61 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:49.439 organization. When a veterans hospital is recommending that these veterans co to us IT 62 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.720 cares. Then that just means that the money is needed in an even greater 63 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.959 amount. So whatever we do, they will they can use it. There 64 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.439 there's really not there's not a point where we're not going to have veterans that 65 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.040 that need assistance. And we're gonna as long as there are veterans that need 66 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.959 assistants, then we're going to keep. Uh, we're gonna keep trying to 67 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.519 help. Yeah. Uh, and we're here at Hardy's, which is a 68 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.600 contributor also the I think nationally. So uh, you know, if you 69 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.879 frequent the restaurant Hardy's or of course Carl's Junior. If you're the listening area, 70 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.360 you don't have a Hardy's. Uh, they work hard and they have 71 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.639 partnered for years and years and years. If you're if maybe if you're a 72 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.920 CFO or a CEO of a company. We have so many organizations based out 73 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.839 of Louis, Kentucky. Look, if you partner with USA Cares, you 74 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:43.920 will not be disappointed. I'm talking about four out of four with Charity Navigator 75 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:48.120 or perfect Score with an organization that does nothing but looks through charities with a 76 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:55.079 microscope. Susan Tyler winning state representatives join us right now. Well, so 77 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.519 you were here at Hardy's and was more hang on, there's more to that 78 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.920 kind go ahead. I'm now I feel like I'm up with two wives. 79 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.000 I can't get one sentence out. Go ahead, you had something to say, 80 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.920 I'm good? No, go ahead, Susan, Susan Junior, I'll 81 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.920 go ahead. Seriously. So I thought you were finished from your soapbox. 82 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:25.920 But are you just gonna chug on the air? Okay? Uh? So 83 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.240 I was gonna take things in a lighter moment with you because we've got ten 84 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.120 more minutes in this break, but go ahead. Uh. So his favorite 85 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.639 sandwich here at heart Ease Whites is uh the what mushroom?

Obviously donating is is fantastic, but sometimes people 99 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.560 want an event to go to. They they want they want to donate, 100 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.000 but they kind of want something to show for it. USA Cares is having 101 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:51.519 their USA Cares Gala in in July, July twenty seventh at the Galt House. 102 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.720 Yeah, we were there last year. Yeah, it is a fantastic 103 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.399 event. Dwight and I are going to be there this year and so, 104 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.800 uh, that is a great way to donate to USA Cares and have a 105 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.040 great time as well. It is actually, man, it is a really 106 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.480 good time. And it boy, let me tell you, it's grown. 107 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.079 It is. It's they takes that whole room up. It's like fifteen hundred 108 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.360 people. It's crazy. It's a great event. Jackie was with us last 109 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.759 year and she was she she's doing the I turned around said, are you 110 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.959 crying because they did the the the table uh setting, Yes, the table 111 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.639 settings with the chairs, the chair, yes, the chair. Oh yeah, 112 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.360 now it is. I don't think I've mentioned to Dwight that it is 113 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.919 a black tie, Gayla, it's a dressed up. I think I think 114 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.000 I got a black tie that will pair perfectly with my jeans. Yeah, 115 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.120 so do I put them. It's a cliff on time, but it's black. 116 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.759 I think a little black dress would look great on you. I'm not 117 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.000 above it. I know, I know you aren't. I know you aren't. 118 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.279 He's got a black tie that has a little keyboard on it, remember 119 00:08:52.320 --> 00:09:01.559 that from nineteen eighty three. Fortunately I do for you. Nonetheless, No, 120 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.759 you're not wearing that. Yeah, well we'll make sure that we are. 121 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.039 We are dressed appropriately. But if anyone would like to attend that as 122 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.559 their way to to donate to USA Cares, they could buy tickets at USA 123 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.600 cares dot org. I will say this, so please go there. I 124 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.919 think it was two years ago or three years ago. They had a keynote 125 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:26.320 speaker that was a retired general that went into politics, and he's telling the 126 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.480 stories of how these politicians have no clue of what the regular soldier goes through, 127 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:31.879 right, and how he goes he tells, he's telling the story, 128 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.679 and he wants to make his point, so he brings in the shovel, 129 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.759 you know, that shovel that's everything on your back, on your in your 130 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.960 your army, guys have He came in and threw it on the table of 131 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.919 all these politicians, said, who can figure out even to open the shovel? 132 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.039 And and uh to make his point and uh, and you know, 133 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.200 and of course I think he got what he needed from all these these folks 134 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.440 because at the time, I think it was still they were still we were 135 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.840 still knee deep in the sand over there. So it's funny that you get 136 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.440 the keto speakers there that are just so inspiring and awesome and informative that that's 137 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.559 a reason alone to go back to the event every year. That's right, 138 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.919 but it keeps growing. And uh, and I we'll we'll definitely be there. 139 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.279 We got to detend it'll be great. But it's important to keep you 140 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.240 know, our veterans top of mind. I mean, it's something that's very 141 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.399 important that we uh that we do in Frankfurt. We we pass you know, 142 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.519 probably a dozen a dozen bills every year really specifically looking at how we 143 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.440 can help veterans in Kentucky. Uh. And so just the appropriation for USA 144 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.039 Cares was just one additional piece of that. I'm really proud that we were 145 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.080 able to get that done this year, but there's more to be done. 146 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.840 So next next January when we start the new session, we'll keep we'll keep 147 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.759 fighting for him. And listen, grateful that my tax dollars a small portion, 148 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.240 unfortunately my tax dollars are going to USA Cares. But that's just a 149 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.080 drop in the bucket. We're talking about organization that if you ask me, 150 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.919 that he's at least twenty five million dollars a year to run. And here's 151 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.039 why, man, When you have one hundred and fifty to two hundred families 152 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.519 calling in desperate need, and we're talking desperate need. They're getting ready to 153 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.279 lose their home, get kicked out of their apartment, can't afford food, 154 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.519 it goes on and on and on. If it's on your heart to adopt 155 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:20.679 a charity, I can't say enough about USA Cares dot o RG for a 156 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.039 four rating. Baby when it comes to charity Navigator a perfect score. So 157 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.879 you know your money is going to where it's supposed to go to our veterans. 158 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.159 That's right, that's right. Uh So future plans in Frankfurt to add 159 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.720 some of that to to some more money or more we're going to make sure. 160 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.960 We're going to make sure that they get what they need. You know, 161 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.000 you can look and I mean obviously this is a national organization. Yeah 162 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:52.039 we could. You know, there are enough needs in Kentucky alone that could 163 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.600 spend, that could spend the two million dollars, you know. And so 164 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.759 you know you've got Texas, You've got you know, North Carolina. Everyone 165 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.279 is coming and asking USA Cares for help. Even like we said, the 166 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.720 Veteran hospital are sending our sending veterans to USA Cares because they know they'll be 167 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.759 taken care of.

So 248 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.799 then of course I was like in a scramble to try to get my kids 249 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.519 picked up, and oh it was a lot of stress I didn't need yesterday. 250 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.359 Yeah, and they're like, keep your stress down.

I know you would think, but 260 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.039 no, it's it's actually May thirtieth, So enjoy yourself a little bit of 261 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.799 so many julips outside Kentucky. I didn't even know that happened. Yeah, 262 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:40.200 I don't think so. I mean, I've never had one outside of Kentucky. 263 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.200 But also yeah, but also I'm not a strong hard liquor kind of 264 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.680 fans. So it's like, I'm still my box wine sort of girl. 265 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:49.839 I mean, if you're just one of those people that are like, any 266 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.440 excuse to get boozed inside your body, fine, but it's kind of gross. 267 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.680 It's a it's a little rough for the wear. But I have two 268 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.160 good news stories for you. First one is Walmart store managers now have the 269 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:07.279 potential to make half a million dollars a year in salary. Oh my gosh, 270 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.039 yep. So they're trying to boost attention because a lot of store managers 271 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.759 are just checking out of there. The retailer has sweetened pay and stock incentives 272 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.759 for its store managers. So if a manager hits sales and profit targets, 273 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:23.279 bonuses could be up to two hundred percent of the manager's base salary, and 274 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:29.079 that could bring them up to about five hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, Walmart's 275 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.319 trying to match a Target's beIN on that. Forever. I've been telling people, 276 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.160 I'm like, you understand, if you're college age and you work for 277 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:41.200 Target and you commit or whatever, they'll they'll they'll pay for your damn semester 278 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.039 of college and your books. Yeah, it's crazy. Well, they're trying 279 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:49.319 to be able to set themselves apart. And the issue was Walmart focused more 280 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:56.240 on workers who were on the lower pay scale getting them up to minimum wage, 281 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.000 but kind of in this whole entire process forgot about their senior folks. 282 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.279 So their senior folks were like, Hey, what about me? Why am 283 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.079 I not getting So they ended up trying to do that. And the second 284 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.680 quick stories, Queen is looking for somebody to love its music catalog. So 285 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.759 the band is said to be in talks with Sony Music and another investor about 286 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.119 selling its catalog for as much as a billion dollars. I guarantee it. 287 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.359 No, I guarantee it because there's a lot of I think Sting sold his 288 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.759 for three hundred and fifty million dollars, so you know, if Stings goes 289 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.240 for that, Queen is gonna definitely get. I mean a billion is a 290 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.880 lot. Maybe they get close to that, but yeah, I could see 291 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.440 it. Well, they hope the deal doesn't bite the dust. Huh heard 292 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.920 what I did? Oh, so now let the billion. If they do 293 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:48.839 get the billion, they'll be fat bottom girls forever. So looking at the 294 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.720 markets, traders are now expecting the federal reserves cut interest rates just once this 295 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.759 year, with inflationary pressure still quite high. The doll right now down three 296 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.960 hundred and eighty six points, leading the losses. It's down one percent. 297 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.640 The S and B not so bad, but still lower. It's down about 298 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.279 half a percent in trading today with the news radio eight forty w h A 299 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.599 s.

As we bring in Cameron from Hardy's and also 304 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:37.079 Trace from USA Cares. Good morning guys, how you doing morning? Good 305 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.960 morning listen. I'll find this shocking, and then we're going down to business 306 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.319 with USA Cares. I'm talking to Cameron and I say how many mushroom and 307 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:49.160 Swisses do you eat tonight? Because I would eat five a day if if 308 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:53.839 I works at Hardy's. He said, any I like mushrooms? What's the 309 00:21:53.839 --> 00:22:00.000 matter with you? I don't do mushrooms. What's your favorite saying which at 310 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.519 Hardy's the Frisco? Yes, Yes, I do the Frisco. I just 311 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.000 did the Frisco breakfast sandwich a couple of hours ago. Cut it in half, 312 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.240 baby, and it's ready to rock. I love it. Listen. 313 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.759 It's always great to govern buy Hardys because the food is absolutely delicious. But 314 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.799 here's another reason. Hardy's and Carls Jr. They have been doing good for 315 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:26.480 the neighborhood, helping out our men and women that protected and serving and some 316 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.960 gave all talk about our veterans. They've partnered with USA Cares and and they've 317 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.960 been a partner for how long? Quite some time? Right, it was 318 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:40.480 way before me. Wowven years? How many years? Years? I know 319 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.400 it's over five million dollars. Wow. Well, let's talk about the need 320 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.079 for USA Cares and let's talk about what usay Care does. You can't talk 321 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:52.680 about everything that you all do because you do so much. But let me 322 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.240 just hit a couple of points. If a veteran's getting ready to if they 323 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.720 can't meet the note on their mortgage, getting ready to lose their home, 324 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.559 you all step in. It could be electricity, could be rent it could 325 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.160 be food scarcity, the needs, they go on and on and on and 326 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.279 on and on and USA Cares. When you give to USA Cares dot org, 327 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.279 the money goes to help the veterans so much, to the point you 328 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:19.400 could be sure of that because you got a four out of four score with 329 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:26.079 an organization that looks into charities and that's all they do, A perfect score, 330 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:27.759 one hundred percent. Yeah, you gotta be proud of that, right. 331 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:30.720 I am very proud of the staff. We've worked very hard. I've 332 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:36.160 been with the organization now for going on six years. Yeah, And that 333 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.960 was what I was charged with, was to try to gain so much transparency, 334 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.480 try to make sure that everyone trusts and believes in USA Cares, and 335 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.480 get a national presence. That was my major objective whenever I came to the 336 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.400 organization. I mean, they've been doing good for twenty years, so it 337 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.400 isn't that. It was more so making everyone aware of it. And I 338 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.759 tell you that's that's a challenge because I can't get on Fox News and start 339 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.359 aptingvertising all the time. I mean, it's same cost I could stop in 340 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.160 eviction, So why am I going to do that? Amen to that, 341 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.720 and I got to tell you nothing's more infuriating if you support a cause than 342 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.680 you find out that ninety percent of it goes to the CEOs wherever the rest 343 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.799 of it goes. It's not the case with you, guys. You take 344 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.799 care of the men and women that took care of us. And why Louisville, 345 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:25.200 Kentucky is the headquarters. It started up twenty years ago outside of Fort 346 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.160 Knox and that was when two thousand and three was the big surge back into 347 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.920 Iraq. Right, Okay, so we didn't understand and I wasn't wearing a 348 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.319 uniform back in that time, friend, but we didn't understand the hazards of 349 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.480 the IEDs and things like that. And you all have Brian Anderson on earlier. 350 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.880 I mean, Brian is awesome. We love him, He's become a 351 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:51.559 good friend. It doesn't have the same impact on the radio because you can't 352 00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.680 see that he's missing two legs and one arm. And it's because of an 353 00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.519 ID. Right. Well, Fort Knox was designated as a location. They 354 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.279 were going to say people back to this area that went through situations like them 355 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.160 and they're going to be transitioned out of Fort Knox in through the VA And 356 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.519 it was gonna be the seamless thing they I mean, and the military did 357 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.319 a great job at this, right, So I don't ever think I'm knocking 358 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:21.160 them. But because of that at Fort Knox, that meant all these service 359 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.519 members were coming to our airport and the community was seeing it. So when 360 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.319 they were seeing these severely injured service members coming through, everybody's like, what's 361 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.680 going on? What is going on? And then Wave TV and I'll say, 362 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.160 don Gee helped lead that up. She's a great woman, man. 363 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.599 Yeah, she's a buddy of ours. We love her, and she got 364 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:45.279 behind it. They started selling yard signs and that's how it was born. 365 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.960 Well, you put the uniform on, you have your own story. Well 366 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.480 it's not that glamorous of a story. Yeah, I always say everybody else 367 00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.880 has got a better story. Well, you know everybody's it's their own for 368 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.799 sure. But that gives you the passion for USA cares, you know, 369 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.960 you know what's going on. I keep saying that I watched you know, 370 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.480 one of the shows on Sunday morning, Yeah, and that they had two 371 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.319 lawmakers from Washington, and one of the stats that jumped out of me was 372 00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:21.960 he said thirty percent of not officers, but the regular regular Army, their 373 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.599 families at when they're deployed, their families are on foodstams. They are It's 374 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.359 like, this is crazy. Yeah, I don't. I don't get that. 375 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.799 So they're trying to improve that situation. But until then USA Cares could 376 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.839 fill that gap. That's what we're doing. I you know, I graduated. 377 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.279 I have to be careful saying this. When I say that, people 378 00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:45.839 start doing I graduated from Northwall in high school. Yeah, so, you 379 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.559 know, and then I needed to figure out something different to do. I 380 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.000 started a law enforcement program in college and realized, hey, I can't afford 381 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.680 this. I went in the army for some reason, thought jumping out of 382 00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.799 planes would be cool. Yeah that was stupid. Yeah, but no, 383 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:02.279 no, I had a lot of fun with that. I had a lot 384 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:03.839 of fun with it. What better way to get to work? Yeah, 385 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.240 but uh, it just yeah, you know, I I saw a lot 386 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:12.039 of things and and went through a difficult transition. Thank God for my wife. 387 00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.440 She helped me through that transition. But if I hadn't had her, 388 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.000 Yeah, I would have been one of those people calling US cares. Correct. 389 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.319 I mean, because that that transition out of the military into civilian sector 390 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.720 it can be challenging. I saw, Yeah, I saw an interview with 391 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:34.240 one of the who played Darth Vader's grandson. He's a what's his name, 392 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:44.839 he's a famous actor, Frank, and he's a combat marine and he said 393 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.519 that, he said, you know, the lie is when you you're a 394 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.319 combat marine or combat soldier that when you come home, oh everything's simple, 395 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.680 like you live through that. Everything, Well, it's Nothing's the house he 396 00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.759 goes that's a lie. It's just a lot he goes in. In some 397 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.839 way, he felt more with his marines than he does at home. Yeah, 398 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.119 and I don't blame anyone. I truly believe the military is doing the 399 00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.359 best they can to transition them out. They have programs that they try to 400 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.799 help, but they're so young and they're not listening. They're not paying attention. 401 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.559 They don't understand about saving you know when yeah, you know, you're 402 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:23.920 in uniform and you have they call l E s leeve earned statement talks about 403 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.720 your pay. You'd go in any car lot down here and you drive out 404 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.279 with the brand new Ram trunk, right, you know what kind of sense 405 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.799 does that make for someone that he doesn't make it? So you don't prepare 406 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.680 yourself. Yeah, and it's it's just it's a cycle of life. It's 407 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.200 it's something that happens with service members. Folks. If you're looking for a 408 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.880 charity to adopt, look no further.

Well, Harty's is kind of known as 425 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.599 that hometown. So when it was a small town somewhere, you would find 426 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.559 a gas station in the Hardy's and yeah, right before McDonald's would come in, 427 00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.480 before anyone else would come in, it would be a Hardy's restaurant. 428 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.200 And Hardy's has been around for eighty plus years and it's been that hometown. 429 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.680 We actually still have one of those restaurants as part of our company. It's 430 00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:12.240 in Granite Falls, Minnesota, really and it's it's in between the lakes and 431 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:17.759 it's off of a highway.
