WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.639 Design of underground facilities like NORAD or the ICBM missile 2 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.119 silo you can tour down in Tucson. I would be 3 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:15.000 surprised if the surface bombs, even though they penetrated pretty deep, 4 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.480 did any damage whatsoever to the nuclear facilities. If that 5 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.600 stuff is designed on spring suspension and separated from the rock, 6 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.000 it would feel to jiggle like an earthquake, but it 7 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.239 would keep on a running. 8 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:38.520 The only caveat I would put to that is the GBUS, 9 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:46.479 the thirty thousand bomb, the bunkerbuster bombs. They're GPS guided, 10 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:52.200 so they're very precise. They go down ventilation systems, so 11 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.679 they're already penetrating deeper than they can as if they 12 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.119 further than they can if they had just hit the surface. 13 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.200 Because once you hit the surface, then their limited capacity, 14 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.519 although it's huge, that limited capacity to penetrate would start 15 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.760 at the moment of impact on the surface. But if 16 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:21.079 your moment of impact is somewhere down inside the ventilation system, 17 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:27.319 then the extent of the penetration continues, and so the 18 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.280 MOP continues on down to where it can't go any further, 19 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.400 gets even closer to the underground bunker, so to speak. 20 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.280 Then the second and the third and the fourth build 21 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:43.400 upon that further expansion of the penetration so that they 22 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.200 might ultimately get down to that facility. And whether it 23 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.560 was on springs or not, if one of them gets 24 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.480 down that deep, then probably it would even destroy it 25 00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:01.799 or cause enough. It's like the buildings in uh San 26 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.879 Francisco or Los Angeles. They're built on springs, but you 27 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.000 get a large enough, long enough earthquake, it is still 28 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.319 going to cause damage. And I think the same would 29 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.960 be true of those bombs. Also, you know that the 30 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.120 thing I just said, you know the theme. You know 31 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:26.719 the thing, Joe Biden, you know the thing. 32 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.080 Just realize I said that, you know the thing? Yeah, 33 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:30.680 that thing. 34 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:40.680 The point of the entire segment is we don't really know, 35 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:47.080 And as General Kine said, until we get the battle 36 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:52.479 damage assesstement assessment, the BDA and bureaucratic language, we're not 37 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.080 going to really know. And how are we going to 38 00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:00.520 obtain the BDA? No, I don't really know until we 39 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.120 have regime change. In so far as regime change is concerned, 40 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:15.680 I think we are so reflexively and that phrases abhorrent 41 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.759 to us because we've seen what our country has done 42 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.400 in terms of trying to effectuate regime change in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, 43 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.080 other places around the world, and we're not very good 44 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.080 at it. And we're not very good at it because 45 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.599 we think that who I forget who it was, But 46 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.039 somebody said that the Iraqis will welcome us with open. 47 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.400 Arms, you know, when we come into Iraq. 48 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.800 Man not so much anymore than I think we would, 49 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.840 although we may, we may reach a point. I think 50 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.840 right now in Colorado, I would if we got invaded 51 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.240 by a bunch of conservatives, I think I would welcome 52 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:53.199 them with open arms. 53 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.919 But that's an entirely different scenario. 54 00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.400 Just don't be reflexively when you hear the word regime change, 55 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.759 because it doesn't mean that we're putting boots on the ground. 56 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:04.919 It means that maybe, you. 57 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.680 Know, Massade or perhaps even secretly covertly, even our Cia 58 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.040 and I don't know, I five might be doing something 59 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:22.839 there could be to get the diaspora together, to get 60 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.720 someone to start as a leader. Just need somebody, You 61 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.600 just need somebody to go out there and be a 62 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.639 charismatic leader to get the population. Because I, in as 63 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.959 much as I despise the Molas and the Ayatola, and 64 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.439 as much as I despise what they're doing to their population, 65 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.279 I would like to see regime change, primarily because I'd 66 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.879 like to see a stable Middle East. When you think 67 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.199 about what Trump's done in the first term and what 68 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.199 he's doing in the second terms, in terms of all 69 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.879 the other Muslim nations and the Abraham Accords, we really 70 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.879 do have a We're on the precipice of completely changing 71 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.319 and calming down that entire region of the world, which 72 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.240 it affects the rest of the world. 73 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:11.959 So if there is some. 74 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.000 Way to effect regime change without us doing it the 75 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.000 kind of the bull in the China closet way that 76 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.920 we tend to do it in the past, then I'm 77 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.839 all for it. And I hope somebody, the Israelis, the 78 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:32.959 Saudi's Kataris, whoever's doing it, is somehow working on it. 79 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.160 I just like for the Persian people to have someone 80 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.160 of the normal life again. 81 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.879 In shocking News the Washington. 82 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:51.879 Post, I'm amazed by this. They've pulled the plug on 83 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:58.759 their police shooting database. It was called fatal force. Now, 84 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.199 don't expect a nepoll, don't expect a reckoning, don't even 85 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.279 expect an explanation because to acknowledge the full impact of 86 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.240 fatal force would be to admit this that for nearly 87 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:19.600 probably a decade now, one of the premier legacy newsrooms 88 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.600 of the cabal helped manufacture and perpetuate a toxic narrative. 89 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:31.839 You want to Fatal Force database is of the Washington Post. 90 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:40.120 It is a compilation of selectively collected facts and statistics 91 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.439 to show that cops are hunting down and killing black 92 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:51.120 men in the streets, that cops kill black men more 93 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.959 than anybody else. Now, I want to be clear, fatal 94 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.199 force that database didn't just compile data. 95 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.000 It was a storyline. 96 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.199 It was an ongoing storyline because it presented fatal police 97 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.920 shootings in isolation. It stripped every shooting of all the context, 98 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.839 devoid of any nuance, no breakdown of the circumstances, no 99 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:22.920 mention of the weapons used, no differentiation, say, between justified 100 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.959 use of force and actual misconduct, just names, faces, and 101 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:35.759 the underlying implication that at the root cause was always racism. 102 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.920 We know that when we do taxpayer relief shots that 103 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:50.199 oftentimes we have cops killing other people. When you think 104 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.560 back on those taxpayer relief shots, it's not that often 105 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.720 that the local news station mentions the race of anybody 106 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.839 just that you know, cop pay shot, you know, goober b, 107 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.959 that they were chasing some felon or something, or some 108 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:10.519 domestic disturbance that they had gone to, and always concludes with, 109 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.000 you know, the cops have been put on an administrative leave 110 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.600 pending the investigation by you know, the AG's office or 111 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.319 some other independent police department that would come in and look. 112 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:20.759 At the shooting. 113 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.959 We know that cops shoot people, but the driving force 114 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:36.200 behind fatal force this Washington database was to convince black 115 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.480 people and to convince guilty white liberals that cops were 116 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:46.559 always out there focused on trying to always targeting black men. 117 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.480 So what passed for journalism and the. 118 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:58.519 Journalism schools, as personified by the Washington Post database fatal 119 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:04.480 force would be insinuation over evidence and narrative over nuance. 120 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.840 I was shocked by this development. 121 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.840 So we now have a decade of racial paranoia, collapsing 122 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.919 trust and law enforcement, and we have this political culture 123 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:25.720 where slogan's like defund the cops, defund the police. That's 124 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.759 how it flourishes because that kind of narrative has to 125 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:36.159 be fed. A narrative needs sustenance. Nutrition and in this case, 126 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:40.440 the sustenance and the nutrition was the database that selectively, 127 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.559 without any nuance, any description of circumstances or anything else, said, oh, look, 128 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.840 a cop, regardless of the cops race, shot a black 129 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:53.279 man and that's all they ever do. There's a human 130 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.519 cost to that kind of narrative. I don't think you 131 00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:02.440 can overstate it. If you're a cop, you, whether consciously 132 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:07.919 or subconsciously, if you are faced with a situation where 133 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.080 you have to make a decision to shoot or not shoot, 134 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.360 you will, for even a nanosecond, think about the race 135 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.480 of the person you're about to shoot, and that endangers cops. 136 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.320 I know cops will say, I don't do that. I'm 137 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.960 focused solely on taking care of myself, defending myself, and 138 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.360 I believe that I'm saying subconsciously that goes through your 139 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.639 mind and that nanosecond could cost you your life. The 140 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:45.159 point being, I think the Washington Post and fatal force 141 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.360 has led to some of that kind of thinking. It's 142 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.799 also led to this cops pull back from proactive enforcement 143 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.639 and high crime neighborhoods. 144 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.000 Look at Denver. 145 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.799 In Denver alone, the Denver Police Department, you got a 146 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:04.840 stolen vehicle, I know where it is, Well, we don't care. 147 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.759 Your insurance is going to take care of it anyway. 148 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:12.159 Or can I get assigned to Denver International Airport because 149 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.799 I don't want to work downtown Denver. I don't want 150 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.279 to work Low Dough, Rhino, Low High. I don't want 151 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.879 to work those neighborhoods. I don't want to work five points. 152 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.799 So when you have the ability to have proactive law 153 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:29.120 enforcement and high crime neighborhood, cops are reluctant to take 154 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.759 those assignments. And of course we know that cops have 155 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.120 left the profession in droves, and so the very communities 156 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.080 that activists claim to defend are now left to face 157 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:44.519 soaring crime and chaos. Do you ever think in the cabal, 158 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.360 and in particular the Washington Post and anybody in the 159 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:51.759 newsroom ever stop and say what happens when a false 160 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:58.120 narrative becomes a national policy. Which is why it's so 161 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.720 important to see Donald Trump supporting law enforcement. It's also 162 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.960 why despite this narrative, this false narrative that's perpetuated by 163 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.639 the Washington Post, you will always see politicians talking about 164 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.840 how much they support local law enforcement. Yet what will 165 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.480 they do the same thing like Mike Johnston does in 166 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.240 Denver when it comes to budget cuts, well let's cut 167 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:27.279 the police force first. Or like the stupid nominee for 168 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:31.960 the Democrat Party in the mayoral race in New York City, Mandamie, 169 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.360 He literally wants to take cops off the streets and 170 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:42.600 replace them with social workers. Imagine that. I mean, that's 171 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:48.559 the kind of bull wrap that these Marxists advocate. Can 172 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.879 you imagine you're involved in a domestic dispute and a 173 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.440 social worker shows up as opposed to a guy with 174 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.919 a gun or a woman with a gun. Good grief. 175 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.440 But here's the truth that really makes it pass the 176 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.000 cabal's gatekeepers. The modern police department is in America city, 177 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.240 particularly our major cities like you know New York, Los Angeles, 178 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.639 and Chicago. Those are among the most highly trained and 179 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.919 professional cops in the world. And that's not propaganda, that's 180 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:25.080 the reality. During Katrina, when the New Orleans police Department 181 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:29.759 completely disintegrated, I went to Bob Moller, Yeah that Bob Moller, 182 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.480 then the director of the FBI, and I said, I 183 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:38.879 need cops in New Orleans, but I don't want them 184 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.240 from with all due respect, and I mean this sincerity 185 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:47.000 with all due respect to your local cop in small 186 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.240 town wherever. That's not who I wanted. I wanted the 187 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.279 cops from major cities. I wanted cops from LA from 188 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:57.240 New York, from Chicago. That's where I wanted the cops 189 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.759 to come from. And when Muller looked at me and 190 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.919 said why, I said, because I want the most highly 191 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.879 trained that have been engaged in essentially urban warfare at times. 192 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:10.919 Those are the kind of cops I need here, because 193 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.240 that's what's going on down there in New Orleans right 194 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:17.320 now is basically urban warfare. And so I don't need 195 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.080 a cop who is, you know, And I'm just saying 196 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.279 this jokingly. I don't need the Barney Fif's. 197 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:22.840 Of the world. 198 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:29.440 I need the highly trained cops. And that's what I got. Now, 199 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:34.519 there's room for reform racial profiling. I don't deny that 200 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:39.399 it exists, but racial profiling that leads nowhere, no guns, 201 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.440 no drugs, no probable cause, that always undermines the public trust. 202 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.639 When you have a high profile incident of excessive force, 203 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:56.320 it absolutely does deserve scrutiny and it requires accountability. But 204 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.960 guess what those events are the exception, They're not the rule, 205 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:07.159 And those events, those anomalies should not define the profession 206 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.559 anymore than a corrupt politician should define an entire government. 207 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.240 Or the lawyer yesterday that we played the sound bite 208 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:19.240 of that called an appellate judge Honey should define all lawyers. 209 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.159 Or the plumber that comes to your house and overcharges 210 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:28.679 you for something shouldn't define all plumbers. That's what the 211 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:34.720 Washington Post was trying to do acap all tops are bad. 212 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.320 There was a fatal flaw in the Fatal Force project, 213 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:45.960 the Washington Post project, and in the broader progressive framing 214 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:51.639 of policing is the refusal to confront a correlation between 215 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:57.639 crime and the presence of cops. The really hard truth 216 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.399 is that urban communities do tend to have higher rates 217 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:04.320 of violent crime. 218 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.080 That is a fact. 219 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:10.960 That's not racist, that's not bigoted, that's just a statistical, 220 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:16.080 provable fact. And it's not because of their skin color. 221 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.039 It's because of systemic issues that the left does not 222 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.480 want to address, and when we mention them, it's, oh, 223 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:31.559 you're a bunch of religious fanatics, broken families, failing schools, 224 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:38.240 economic neglect, and all of which, in my opinion, is 225 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:46.159 the legacy of progressing Marxist policies, then what happens. So 226 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:56.799 if these neighborhoods end up with higher crime, that a 227 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:02.639 police presence is going to fall. If you have politicians, 228 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:06.240 if you have a city council that's willing to address 229 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.960 the criminal issue, you're going to increase the police presence. 230 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.160 Is it has to if you want to reduce the crime. 231 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.640 And then when the police presence is high, so too, 232 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.240 is what the probability that you're going to have interaction 233 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.440 between those cops and the criminal element that has come 234 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.720 to infest that neighborhood. That interaction ends up with arrests, 235 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.279 and yes, sometimes conflict and sometimes that ends up in 236 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.119 a shooting. And that is not racism. That is math, 237 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:42.039 that is logic, that is reason, and that is exactly 238 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:43.039 what happens. 239 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:46.480 Somehow. 240 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:50.079 The idea that this basic dynamic is nothing more than 241 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:54.359 a morality play black victim versus white oppressor is wrong 242 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:58.440 and it is dangerous because it cultivates fear, it discourages 243 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:03.160 cooperation with law enforcement, and it teaches young black men 244 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.319 that any contact with a cop is a threat to 245 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.480 their life instead of an opportunity for protection, resolution or correction, 246 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.039 or maybe saving their life. The young black man saving 247 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.000 their life from a life of crime, and it's happening 248 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.720 in cities all across the country. What are some of 249 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:33.880 the steps pay Tuch. Let's go talk to Josh from 250 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.160 the Retirement Planning So of the Rockies. Josh, how are 251 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.599 you today? 252 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:39.720 Doing great? Michael? I could use a little more sun, 253 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.200 but I'm doing real well. 254 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.119 It'll get hot in a couple of days. Just hang around. 255 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.599 It's Colorado, right, Listen. 256 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.920 With all this uncertainty going around in the world, how 257 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.319 can you tell your clients that they can be confident 258 00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:55.799 they're going to be okay in retirement. 259 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.480 That's such a great question, Michael, and honestly, it's one 260 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.599 we hear quite often. There's really no shortage of uncertainty 261 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.519 in the world. As you very well know. You market shift, economies, 262 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:13.680 wobble headlines can be really overwhelming. But here at Retirement 263 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:15.920 Planning Center the Rockies, what we're really known for is 264 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.599 helping our clients sleep well at night. And what that 265 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.079 means is even in times like this or times of chaos, 266 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:24.839 they know that they're going to be okay. And that 267 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.160 confidence really stems from what we walk all clients through, 268 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.640 and that's our proprietary Summit Retirement Guide, and that Summit 269 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:41.480 Retirement Guide addresses five key peaks of retirement, which are income, investments, taxes, healthcare, 270 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.359 and legacy. And we help the folks that we work 271 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.400 with build a comprehensive plan that's not just reactive, but proactive, 272 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.640 which really helps create an additional peace of mind, so 273 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.319 they know exactly where their income's going to come from, 274 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.319 they know that they're not over exposed to risk, and 275 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:01.519 they have someone who their corner who's walking with them 276 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:04.920 every step of the way. But the bottom line, Michael, 277 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.119 is at the end of the day, confidence doesn't just 278 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.079 come from guesswork. It comes from a clearly defined. 279 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.599 Plan so that you know exactly what your plan is 280 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.279 designed to do, and you can actually watch your plan 281 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:18.440 do what it's designed to do. 282 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.599 Absolutely And I'll even add this, Michael, our clients know 283 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.319 that they're not going it alone. I think sometimes that's 284 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.200 really what folks want to know, is they have a 285 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.359 partner in all of this. You know, we're we here 286 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.200 Retirement Planning Center. We're a generational family business. We've been here, 287 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.880 we've done that, we're staying here, and we plan for 288 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.400 longevity just like the folks that we work with do 289 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.519 and that's why we say it's our goal to help 290 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:46.440 you live a life without limit's not just financially, but 291 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.960 emotionally and spiritually as well. That's your desire and that. 292 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:51.799 May be a good point though we tend to gloss 293 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.680 over is so I recommend people you know, call and 294 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.680 make the initial phone call kind of gets know each other. 295 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:00.839 But if they do become your client, it's just not 296 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.960 a one off. They as long as they want to, 297 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:05.319 they can be your client for life. 298 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.640 Absolutely, and we say that all the time. Our goal 299 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.279 is to be the last advisor that you ever have. 300 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.480 We want to be that final advisor, so to speak, 301 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.000 and be generational with your family even that's what we are, 302 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:21.960 that's what we hope to be in your lives. And 303 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.359 you know, I'll tell you too, Michael. One more thing, 304 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.920 not to drag this on by any means, but really 305 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.480 sets us apart here at Retirement Planning Center is our 306 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.039 commitment to making the complex simple. I think a lot 307 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.960 of times when we see crazy times and uncertainty, we 308 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:42.119 tend to really complicate things, but really it can be 309 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.519 super super simple, and that's why you need a guide 310 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:46.720 like us here at Retirement Planning Center of the Rockies. 311 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.519 Yeah, because it always takes that third party, someone separate 312 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:52.720 from you, to say, wait a minute, look, you're making 313 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.160 it way too complex. Let's just knock it down to 314 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:58.960 the very simple, you know, tears or factors or whatever 315 00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.440 it might be. 316 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:01.680 And it opens people's eyes. And I think that's what 317 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.960 you guys do all the time. 318 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.400 And to your point, you know, if you guys make 319 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.079 this phone call to the Retirement Planning send the Rockies 320 00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:12.000 like I recommend, and you choose to go with them, 321 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.000 after you've talked to them and gotten to know them, 322 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.640 they will be there forever with you because they are generational. 323 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.119 And I know that for knowing these guys. 324 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.839 So I encourage you, whether you have a plan or 325 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:24.960 you don't have a plan, to pick up the phone 326 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.400 call the Retirement Planning send the Rockies.

Or go check out Josh in 331 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.079 the entire website, go online to rpcenter dot com, back 332 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.160 to the Washington Post and fatal force. I said, you know, 333 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.440 think about the statistics, and I'm going to get into 334 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:52.519 some of the stuff John Lots written in just a minute. 335 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.160 But when you look at this, the stats that the 336 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:59.640 media and in particular the Washington Post ignore, in recent 337 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:07.359 spikes and homicide, carjacks, carjackings, armed robbery have hit minority 338 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.839 communities the hardest. We hear the stories out of Chicago 339 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.240 or Denver for that matter, where you know, kids are 340 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.440 gunning down on their front porches. Elderly women get assaulted 341 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:20.200 in broad daylight. Somebody's just trying to get to the 342 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.359 you know, from the garage to their office, and they 343 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.079 get they get mug somewhere in downtown Denver. Well, where 344 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:31.079 are the think pieces about that? And where's the Washington 345 00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:36.960 Post database for the victims of post police America? If 346 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.480 we really do go through and defund the cops, if 347 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:43.160 we do start kicking cops out of minority neighborhoods because 348 00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:45.240 that's where the crime is, and we don't we don't 349 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.799 want anything about that because that's all racist. Has anybody 350 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.440 ever analyzed what that looks like? And then you know 351 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.720 how much I love historical perspective, Well, fatal force provides 352 00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:04.559 no historical perspective. We we are generations from an era 353 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.920 of mafia cops on payrolls or precincts that are flooded 354 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:12.160 with dirty money, and officers turning a blind eyed organized crime. 355 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:16.240 Those days are gone, but we ought to be grateful 356 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:20.799 for that. Ninety nine point nine percent of cops today 357 00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:26.799 are professionals, and likewise, they have lives, their husbands, their mothers, 358 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.720 their military veterans. They are public servants trying to do 359 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:39.440 an impossible job under horrible circumstances, shrinking resources and increased scrutiny. 360 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:43.039 And yes, I believe that cops should be held to 361 00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:47.880 a higher standard because they have the ability unfortunately, but 362 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.759 we want this the ability to take your life lawfully, 363 00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.640 to stop their commission of a crime, or when they're 364 00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.160 trying to kill some you know, the the criminal is 365 00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:05.000 trying to kill a victim somewhere, So they actually deserve 366 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:13.240 our respect and not constant suspicion. Reform if you think, 367 00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:16.559 and there's always room for reform, and there's always room 368 00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.680 for improvement, Well that needs to be based on facts, 369 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:24.079 not on feelings. Real accountability is built on the foundation 370 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.759 of data and not what the Washington Post has been 371 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:29.680 trying to feed everybody, which is a bunch of storytelling. 372 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:35.519 Real accountability is built on data, not a narrative, And 373 00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:40.000 what the Washington Post has done for decades now has 374 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:43.720 offered half truths that they go repackaged as some sort 375 00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:47.079 of moral clarity. But a half truth is still a lie, 376 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.400 and the half truth pushed by the Washington Post has 377 00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:52.759 done real damage. If the Post wants to shut down 378 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.920 as database, that's fine with me. But the story doesn't 379 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.720 end there because they have shaped a narrative that's still 380 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.200 notates our culture. Look what it Look what it did 381 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:09.240 in George Floyd that still to this day dominates our culture. 382 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.160 It lives on in the schools, in our politics, in 383 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:16.480 popular media. The cabal perpetuates it. So while I celebrate 384 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:21.200 the demise of fatal force, I'm not so naive as 385 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.519 to say that's going to fix everything. Until we start 386 00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.880 telling the whole truth about policing, about what crime is 387 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:31.039 really occurring, about our communities, and what our communities are 388 00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:34.279 made of, and how they how they thrive and don't thrive, 389 00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:37.920 and we actually do the hard work of building public trust, 390 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.559 we're going to stay trapped in the cycle of mistrust 391 00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.440 and misunderstanding that the fatal force database has helped perpetuate. 392 00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:51.640 You want you want better policing, start with better reporting. 393 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:53.920 Firearms. 394 00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.720 I've collected one let's see one. 395 00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:01.839 Two, three, four, five. 396 00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:05.599 Or six stories here from John Lott, one of the 397 00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:11.079 along with Dave Coppell here at the Independence Institute, the 398 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.599 top Second Amendment experts and for that matter, crime experts 399 00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:22.039 in the country. Back on June thirteenth, firearms researcher John 400 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:24.400 Lot reminds us too that rifles per se like the 401 00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.119
