WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:07.599 You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia show, 2 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.279 sase stimulating talk radio, and now here's Doctor Dahlia. Doctor 3 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:16.920 doctor tell me true. 4 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:19.679 I'm supposed to. 5 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.719 Do and reback on the Doctor Elie's show one eight 6 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.679 seven seven Doctor Dollary one eight seven seven d O. 7 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:29.199 C D A L I. So years ago we predicted this. 8 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.520 When you heard around COVID they were gonna stop maybe 9 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:38.640 the SAT or the ACT testing for colleges. 10 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.039 We're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa? 11 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.960 What about proficiency? Are people gonna work? How are they 12 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.960 gonna tell if someone's proficient? And when we were giving 13 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:54.719 awards and medals and trophies to people not winning for 14 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.200 just trying, we predicted there's gonna be a problem because 15 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.039 people are not gonna have that competitive edge. They're not 16 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:03.679 going to try to be the best they could be 17 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.280 even you know, blow themselves away. 18 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.519 In terms of knowing, Wow, I was able to do this, 19 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.560 just blown away. And so we predicted this would happen. 20 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.959 And now we have situations where thousands of professors this 21 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:20.840 is just in. 22 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.200 The UC system alone. 23 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.480 University of California system over twelve I'm sorry, twelve hundred 24 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:34.400 professors are telling the governor that incoming freshmen can't do 25 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.719 basic math and they have to dumb down. 26 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.680 The advanced courses. 27 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.640 You see San Diego, and you see San Diego is 28 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.799 really hard to get into an extremely They reported a 29 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.719 jump from thirty students in twenty twenty. Then the nine 30 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.519 hundred who lacked high school level MAUTH. 31 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.879 How did they get into U see San Diego. 32 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.519 Harvard has to have a remediation math class. 33 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.640 Harvard. 34 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.360 I got a fourteen fifty on my SAT, a seven 35 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.400 point eighty out of eight hundred in math, and I 36 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.039 was told, don't even think about applying to Harvard. Really 37 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.520 yet they have now remedial math class. 38 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:27.240 Ticks me off. 39 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:34.759 So the governor has been Apparently the governor Goven Newsom California, 40 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:36.680 we're being told by. 41 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.599 The New York Post that he is not going to 42 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.400 take a position on. 43 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.319 This debate of whether we need standardized tests again for 44 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:48.639 University of California mission admissions. He's calling these stories anecdotes, 45 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.439 they say, the reports from college professors about students who 46 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.680 can't do basic mouth, it's anecdotal. 47 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:58.159 He wants to see the proof. 48 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:00.520 Now. 49 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.759 Some of these professors include Nobel Prize winners. 50 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.360 Leading scientists, and they're warning a severe crisis of incoming 51 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.960 freshmen who can't even do fractions. So the educators have 52 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.639 to now dumb down calculus and other advanced courses just 53 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:17.479 to get them to pass. 54 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.879 What is Newsom saying, Show me the data. 55 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.960 He says, I have feelings about this, there's anecdotes about this, 56 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.680 but I want to see data. Just go to the 57 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:35.120 playground of a bunch of fifth graders and give them 58 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:35.919 a math problem. 59 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.080 You'll see it's not too hard. You see. 60 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.960 San Diego Senate Administration Working group last year found a 61 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.080 shocking thirtyfold increase in college students who who lacked basic 62 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:47.599 math skills, which, by. 63 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.080 The way, going back to that, if you want the data, 64 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:57.800 give them an SAT and look at the course. Just 65 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.680 there's your data gives on the test. 66 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.800 Professors are blaming the elimination of the SAT and ACT 67 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.120 testing in twenty twenty, which hasn't gone back come back 68 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.800 for a lot of schools. Critics also are saying that 69 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:26.439 people are rewarding students by great inflation. According to Zvezdalina Stankova, 70 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.920 a math professor at UC Berkeley, she said some students 71 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.279 are five to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours 72 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.920 that should be spent discussing integrals instead become lessons on 73 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.600 fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to have 74 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.360 learned in middle school. So the University of California Board 75 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.639 of Regents is expected to take up the issue. According 76 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.600 to Linda Darling Hammond, president of the California Board of Education, 77 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.040 she says there are some different options for testing if 78 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:59.600 they choose to bring it back, So, he says, the 79 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.639 governor says they are making some jaw dropping investments. California 80 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.279 is now going to spend more than twenty eight thousand 81 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.680 dollars per student annually, which is a forty three percent 82 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.879 increase in special which includes a forty three percent increase 83 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.160 of switch education spending, to a staggering two point four 84 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.000 billion dollars in their state budget. So they're spending more money. 85 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.879 But what happened when you spent the money last year? 86 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.439 What did the money go to? 87 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:31.879 What? 88 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.399 What are you teaching the kids? 89 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.920 Are their tutors? Are you getting the best textbooks? Should 90 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.639 they be doing workbooks and using a pencil instead of 91 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:45.920 doing math on a computer. 92 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.680 See, I can't do math on a computer. I have 93 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:49.480 to write it out. 94 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.199 I need a paper and pencil with a really good eraser, 95 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.759 because I screw up a lot. That's how I need 96 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.240 to do math. Are these kids not able to do 97 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.839 math on pencils and paper? Now? The governor is also 98 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.519 having a universal transitional kindergarten program. 99 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:09.199 This roll down to the twenty. 100 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.000 Two to twenty three school year, saving families fourteen thousand 101 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:13.480 per year. 102 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.920 I like the idea of early kindergarten. 103 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.439 I think three and four year olds could already be 104 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:33.399 slowly exposed to a'sbc's numbers, communication language skills. I think 105 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.319 our three and four year olds have the ability to learn. 106 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.240 You don't want to make them, you know, calculus experts 107 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.600 by six years old, But I really do believe that 108 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.040 you can with a preschool. 109 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.199 Start teaching them. 110 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.079 So I'm not really sure what the transitional kindergarten does. 111 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.680 But state data is saying lessen half of California students 112 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.160 are proficient or advanced in math. Thirty seven percent of 113 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.079 students passed in math compared to forty eight percent in reading. 114 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.199 Really only thirty seven percent of students, which means sixty 115 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.040 three percent of students are failing math. 116 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:11.279 New some thinks that. 117 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.480 The results this year are going to be an improvement, 118 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:20.839 but still an improvement. Your goal is one hundred percent, 119 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:26.160 So if this thirty seven percent passing rate goes up 120 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.959 to forty two percent, he's going to be patting himself 121 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.040 on the back one hundred percent of what happened to 122 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:40.000 No child left behind. Quit rewarding people for doing nothing, 123 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.439 and make kids accountable and get their parents involved. These 124 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.720 kids need to learn one eight seven seven dot telling. 125 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.959 This is an urgent announcement for anyone that's ten thousand 126 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.439 dollars or more in debt.

There's an Emerson College polling survey showing 181 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.200 John Ossoff, Georgia Senator who doesn't even want to run 182 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.240 for president beating jd Vance forty nine to forty four. 183 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.559 What are these guys doing with these poles? However, Secretary 184 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.799 of State Marco Rubio uh doing a little better than 185 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:23.120 jd Vance, with John Ossoff only leading him by three points. 186 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.879 So now we're gonna have John Ossoff also now running 187 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:32.240 on the Democratic side. So these poles are ridiculous. Look 188 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.720 what happened with Karen Bass where it was what Median 189 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.120 Strategies decides to do a fake pole, throw it out 190 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.080 there just to see who bites and what happens because it's. 191 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:42.960 Their social experiment. 192 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.000 So mayor bascals, look, I have a double digit lead 193 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.000 over Nadia Rahmen. 194 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.639 Look at me. I'm good. And it was a fake pole. 195 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:59.080 In fact, the Thanksgiving hating socialist Francesca Hung, who was 196 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:04.759 running in the Wisconsin Democratic primary, they say Upholster, who 197 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:10.360 had her up twenty three points, admits to bungling the 198 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.320 Wisconsin race and a closing up shop. 199 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.799 According to the Western Journal. 200 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:25.080 The organization, I wonder if that's also Median Strategies. I 201 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:26.879 want to find out what it is, not telling us 202 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:32.120 which one it is. But according to the La Times 203 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:43.759 that they're not they were wrong about left leading Democrat, progressive, socialist, 204 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:49.480 communist Francesca Hung. So what the hell is going on here? 205 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.879 Twenty three point lead over David Crowley. Yes, it looks 206 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:59.039 like it was the same Median strategies. The whole operation 207 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:04.519 was bogus. So you know what other polls do they do? 208 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:12.000 And by the way, that's election interference. These polls are 209 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:16.679 misleading and is it that they wanted. Well, here's the 210 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.080 only thing the Median strategies if you really look at 211 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.960 what they did and and and they're I mean, they 212 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.279 got attention, but apparently not good attention if they're closing up. 213 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.399 But if it was all about let's help the progressive, 214 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:37.080 you know psychotic candidates. Mayor bass is running against a 215 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.840 progressive Raman, so you would think they would have then 216 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.679 if that was their attention, put Raman higher up on 217 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.559 the on the pole. So it's I don't know what 218 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.799 they're doing, but it shows that here we are in 219 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:54.679 twenty twenty six with a lot of manipulation, misinformation and 220 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.559 shenanigans going on as it pertains to elections. 221 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.000 So let's make sure we have vot already, Let's make 222 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.159 sure only US. 223 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:08.919 Citizens are voting. No, No, we can't do that. It's 224 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.120 just bs. Going back to JD. Van's people are a 225 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.799 little concerned. 226 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.360 Does JD. Vance have the pool that Trump does? Of course, not. 227 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.759 Trump, I mean depend on how the history books decide 228 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:29.240 to write about him. Trump was a historic figure, being 229 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.559 non politician, and I'm gonna say what I want to say, 230 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.639 and a lot of what he said it's pretty funny. 231 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.360 And I'm gonna do what I think needs to be done. 232 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.799 What people have been talking about for decades needs to 233 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:44.200 get done. 234 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.440 We're gonna do it now. 235 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.440 He can't do it all in four years, like cut 236 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.440 the waist, fraud and abuse. I think Jdvans is doing 237 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.039 a great job with that. I thought Elon must did 238 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.679 a good job. I thought it was a fantastic idea. 239 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.159 Problems is, our debt is still high. We sell a 240 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.320 high trade, you know, multiple trillion dollar debt. Trump try 241 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.720 to temper that with tariffs. All right, you're charging us 242 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:09.559 a boat load. Why aren't we charging you a fraction 243 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:14.240 of that? And when he did that got thrown out again. 244 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.399 A lot of things have to go through Congress. So 245 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.039 it's not that the idea was bad, it's just if 246 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.159 the Supreme Court threw it out. It's on the technicality 247 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:29.039 that an executive order has a finite power and you need. 248 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:34.759 Congress to do certain things. And so yeah, there's. 249 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.120 We'll see where things can go. But you know, he's 250 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.879 in office, you know, for you know, only a couple 251 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.879 more years, and then who's going to take over? Is 252 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.399 it gonna be Jada Vans or Mark Rubio? Usually the 253 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.240 succession would be jd Vance, the vice president, but Mark 254 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.000 Rubio over and over again, looks to be more favored. 255 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.559 Now again, I think these polls are a bunch of bs. 256 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:01.960 Right Occasio Cortes in New Hampshire leading people to judge 257 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:06.840 by only one point but crushing the other candidates. Really 258 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.720 a president Ocosio Cortez, Lord of Mercy. 259 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.519 I just don't believe the polls. 260 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:15.440 But Republicans need to really do some heavy thinking, and 261 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.200 Democrats have to do some real heavy thinking on who 262 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.840 they're going to put up in twenty twenty eight. 263 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.679 And I think there's a lot of disarray. You don't 264 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.039 have a clear favorite on the Democrat side. 265 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:32.559 Kamala Harris was not liked and her answers were stupid. 266 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.120 When Sonny Hostin on the view asked her, what would 267 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:40.480 you do different from Biden's presidency? She goes, I can't 268 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.759 think of anything. What she should have said, which was 269 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.480 a very easy answer, and she should have prepared for 270 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.600 a question like that. 271 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.720 Obviously, unless they were really all in denial that Biden's presidency. 272 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.799 Was so good, maybe that's why. But you don't want 273 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.320 to throw your boss under the bus. Your answer is, look, 274 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.759 Joe Biden came into office in twenty twenty. His set 275 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:08.039 of priorities for COVID the vaccine, well, he came into 276 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.720 twenty twenty one. 277 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.960 I have the Russia Ukraine war, I have X, Y 278 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.200 and Z. 279 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.480 So obviously my presence, he's going to be different because 280 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.759 I need to hit the ground running on these issues. 281 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.039 That could have been our answer wasn't going to be 282 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:29.480 a satisfying answer, but it was better than I can't 283 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.440 think of anything. 284 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.799 So she's not. 285 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.400 A superstar in the Democratic Party. Newsome looks like, you know, 286 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:43.160 he's really struggling. As it pertains to California. People want answers. 287 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.359 They want you know, their kids, profession of math. They 288 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:50.240 want lower taxes, they want the homelessness resolved. They want 289 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:54.720 that doesn't look like it's getting done, so he doesn't 290 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.200 look like he's a favorite. 291 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:58.400 Plus a lot of other states are not. 292 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:02.960 Really he doesn't have the wrong Reagan you know, uh, 293 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.599 you know, pazzazz and so. 294 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.880 You know, California used to be ooh California. Now it's 295 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.160 and it's a shame because I'm from California. I love California. 296 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.640 I can't wait to move back. I love California. 297 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:23.200 But unfortunately it's not run well. Pete Boudha Judge, nice guy, 298 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:28.880 but it you know, what has he done to be 299 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:35.240 president on the Republican side. Trump was smart to make 300 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.559 sure you saw JD. Vans and all of these major 301 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.680 meetings being a part of a lot of the negotiations, 302 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.319 a lot of what was done now running, you know, 303 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.799 as opposed to Kamala Harris being the borders are which 304 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:47.680 was a cluster. 305 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.039 In the seventh Uh. JD. Vans. 306 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:51.960 He doesn't have to do the border because Trump did 307 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.680 it in days. So he's doing the uh fraud and 308 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.920 cracking down a fraud and working with UH the HHS. 309 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.880 Uh good job, keep it up, keep keep So he's 310 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:05.519 getting stuff done. But he doesn't have. 311 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.519 The likability factor like Marco Rubio does. People like Mark Rubio. 312 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.160 Plus I think a lot of Republicans are, like they 313 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.880 really want the Latino outreach. Marco Rubio would be our 314 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:24.200 first Latino president. Bilingual, very very good as it pertains 315 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.119 to foreign policy, because you know, we want a president 316 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.200 that's smart economically smart, you know when and JD. Vance 317 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.880 can do that well, uh, but Marco Rubio has proven 318 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.359 that he could really handle the foreign policy part stuff too. 319 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.799 So I depending on who the Democrats put up there, 320 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:43.880 I'll then tell you who I think would have a 321 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:47.359 better chance to win. But if the Republicans that are 322 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:50.960 all concerned about the Latino vote, you're gonna do really, 323 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.720 really well with Marco Rubio up there. 324 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:55.079 And I think he's a great candidate. JD. 325 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.440 Vans is a good candy too, but it's on candy. 326 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.640 But you know, Marco rut Is is also very strong. 327 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.720 So you know, we're we're moving closer to what we 328 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.440 have how many days left eighty seventy nine or. 329 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.839 Whatever to the midterms. 330 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:18.160 And it's a big one because so much is getting 331 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.720 stalled right now in Congress. If the power shifts of 332 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.200 the Democrats were going to even have more stalling, and 333 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.079 if Trump's executive orders are limited. 334 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:28.039 Uh. 335 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:30.160 In some cases they should be, in some cases they shouldn't. 336 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:35.200 Depend on what they are. Yeah, it's gonna be. 337 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.319 Uh, it's gonna be a rough couple of years one, eight, seven, 338 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:39.000 seven out dollar. 339 00:20:39.000 --> 00:21:00.480 You don't go away. 340 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:05.039 At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel 341 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:09.000 problems in their solutions.

Not at 375 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.400 age sixty or sixty two that's going to need more money, 376 00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:35.920 but at sixty five you need close to a million 377 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.799 on average in some states you need to be over 378 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:39.279 a million. 379 00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.119 Now that's scary, Okay, I got some work to do. 380 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:47.640 I got a lot of work to do. I told 381 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.440 you guys, I don't have the retirement isshit. 382 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.039 And the reason why is I had a very small 383 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:54.440 retirement account and residency. 384 00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:56.119 But when you're only averaging. 385 00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:57.640 About, you know what, a buck and a half an 386 00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:59.599 hour and you're working a hundred hour weeks, you know, 387 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.640 whatever the match is is not gonna get you to 388 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.240 where you need to. 389 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.279 So I have that small thing that's been very slowly growing. 390 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:12.440 And then I immediately had kids, opened up my own practice, 391 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:19.119 and then started paying off student loans nine years into 392 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.279 opening up my practice by two thousand and nine. Because 393 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.240 I opened in two thousand. Just when I'm like, okay, 394 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.000 we're doing well, starting to get most of these student 395 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.000 loans down, I could maybe now start putting money away 396 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.759 to retirement, Obamacare happens and money just started to not 397 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.920 come in the recession went on way into twenty fourteen, 398 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.279 twenty fifteen, where patients didn't have health insurance, they couldn't 399 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:50.200 pay their copays, and I never was able to put 400 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:53.839 away into retirement like other people do if they work 401 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:54.880
