"Yes, yes, it's it's good. You know it. I think it just goes to show how much people really want help. Epsom, and so I just feel good to be in a position blessed to be in a position to do that, because there's a lot of folks that just need help. And you know, I don't doing this first. My 25th year. Exactly, Um, started August 95 move from Sacramento to San Diego. So I sold everything had my car and my stuff. That was it. S we need to do when? Your twenties, right? Right. Life's easy breathe. And you just Yes. No, what they worked out. I got three kids, a wife and a dog. And you know all that, But But, you know, it's just nice to be in a position to help people because you know, doing this. You know, for now for for again two decades, it's you realized, Maura Maura, Um or the people need more more help You think they'll everybody's got their help know when you have what 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day, I think it's still the number. 10,000 that's people need help. And so that won't go away. And so being a position with you here to be able to talk about this on television and do radio and do talks and, you know, just feel very, very, very, very blessed to be able to do that for everybody. Absolutely. And David. There is such a need for information, which is why I love Your book so much, which is actually an Amazon bestseller. We need to talk about that because that's pretty amazing. But I'm not surprised because you're just an excellent author. But Mama's secret recipe for retirement success. I love this book. It's fantastic. So what was the inspiration behind writing this particular book, David? Well, I was approached by a good friend of mine partner. Mind my mentor in the business, and we decided to collaborate on a book together with some other advised across the country, So it's a really good book. You know it was. It was written with Jack Canfield, who is the author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Serious, So he's probably the most successful authors. In the world actually on, But he does a lot of niche books, different things I gardening but kind of uses his his. His influence toe help people in different topics. He cares about his finances, one of them S o. I got approached to do a couple years ago, I decided to do it and it talks a lot about in in plain English. The stock market risk of the market cash flow planning on retirement taxes. S so it's written a very simple matter it zbig book, But it's more references. You can look at a topic. Taxes inflation. If we can't touch out about retirement planning, that's how about annuities or are they good? Or, you know there's lots of, you know lots of lots of debate about about all kinds of financial topics. The a word. We call it but all kinds of different good topics that are really designed. The book was designed to speak to people directly. The retail client who's looking for really good information. Real information. Sure. Excellent chapter about inflation. Let's talk about that, because we need to talk about what the future is going to look like for people that are maybe 10 20 years from now. Inflation is obviously going to keep growing. What your thoughts David? Yeah, you know, I wrote the book. I was worried about inflation, but not as so much as I am today, and there's a chapter 51. You know, it says I write inflation. It may come back with a vengeance and Ronald Reagan. Back, and when he got elected 1980 81 I think, he said inflation is violent is a mugger is violent as a mugger as dangerous and armed robber on basically talking about how inflation was just devastating to the economy, you know, back in, and when Carter came in, Carter was president, he became president him and Paul Volcker, who was the federals of chairman kind of broke the back of inflation. You may not remember what interest rates were in the 13 15% range. On an inflation was averaging between I think that between 19 eyes it's I think it's 1971 1981 inflation was averaging 13% a year. Wow. I mean, just ridiculous on DSA. So the problem is is that is that we've had not had inflation. The good news. We've not had inflation for the last 20 years since the nineties. Really? We had any type inflation on DSA. I am concerned about that. We have borrowed a lot of money. This last in 2020 over $2. Trillion more money is going to be borrowed because of covert and other things that need to happen. Just call security and Medicare and all the things that are just a problem going forward interest on debt, So I think inflation is going to be a problem going forward. And we really need to pay a lot more attention to it. You think of it right now. You have the average CD raise pay in about a half a percent IV inflation right now is running just under 2%. Right? You have bond 10 year. Treasury bonds are paying less than 1%. We have a problem here. Yeah, if you get a half percent of the CD or 1% on on a bond, But inflation is running 2%. Yeah, we have inflation yet. There's a big problem because it's an attack on your spending power. So if you just look at inflation cost taxes fees on investments, the average cost of mutual funds 3%. If you have inflation and 2% stock market volatility is all these attacks on your portfolio. So part of good plan is we have to incorporate these types of what ifs inside of a plan..

"100% guilty. Everybody know Ray Charles Keating. This man is guilty of corruption of the $60 million. Dr. Like we're not gonna do anything about that in a state of Ohio, but we're going to give me the dancing involved. You're the only person making this argument screaming from my ones. For months, The Ohio Republican Party is significantly more corrupt than any other group that I can think of. And I'm talking even the United States Senate. Is ridiculous. Watch if you start digging into this stuff, and it's a rabbit hole, But it is a rabble. You're right. There is so much corruption and I am a Republican. I mean, I know I'm a conservative Republican. But let's not get into semantics. You're spot on with his argument and make sure like What? Forget the January six stuff. Forget, See, you know, at the time there, each of this vote, the main narrative and the fact that we're out first things that you know, there's other faxes came into this, but the information that Anthony does Dallas had he made a principle. Decision to take that boat. And I don't know what he aren't sense because he's got more information like that, because nobody will go up there and actually ask the question, but to senior and defensive somebody for taking their vote based on what their principles were, and based on the fact that they have the time is not only repulsive. It's criminal because you're covering up for man and Larry Health culture. That is an absolute distress to both parties and the help that he ended and the body that he's a part of You doing walking about that? And the problem is is the leader of the Republican Party is so corrupt in bottom. Facebook's ridiculous as well, But the more that they pushed it off, the more that it kind of takes the whole Clinton there. But the more you keep pushing off tonight tonight tonight, especially if there's a way and that's what they're really hoping for. Republican Party ought to be ashamed of themselves for the focus they took on Friday. Because Anthony of Dallas Good man. He's a principled man, and he took a stance that not a lot of people would have the guts to take given the current political climate, the state of Ohio. I applaud him for it. I disagree with him. But I applaud him for being willing to stand up because it shows that he's not want to pay for it says he has principles he stood on. Even if I disagree with them. I think they expect that all this is this great, great call great points and and the thing is, is like and I say Like. Hey, you know what? If you if you didn't like that, Um, make him pay for it in the campaign make him pay for that in the election on And that's that's old school politics. That's fair game politics, but to try to put your thumb on the You're really going down a bad path here by censoring him for that. And again on the flip side. Oh, but a $60 million bribery scheme that you're allegedly the ringleader of That doesn't even deserve that doesn't partly deserves a slap on the wrist. The party came out you know, and July last year and said, always should resign. And they said nothing. Nothing since And it's like in this thing that Maura Maura things and like you said, you talk about rabbit holes more on more stories. Keep coming out on this. And Maura Maura evidence and Maura, Um or, uh, you know, issues on it. Keep coming out. Around the House Bill six and scandal. And yet the Republican Party and the Republicans leaders Mike DeWine, they all like. They didn't want to say anything like it's like the silence will Maybe the silence will make it go away. Oh, but it's easy to try to turn around and take out a young guy on century young guy who's really just kind of coming into politics like Anthony Gonzalez. Uh and and and it's and you know what? And Wally before I go. We got more calls to get to. But you know, you're the point you made. I have inbox full of my my day job is on the political columnist for The Cincinnati Enquirer. I didn't know what to expect. When I wrote this. I took a hard stance because as you can hear me right now, I'm pretty fired up. I think it's a bad precedent. On guy didn't want to expect from my readers. But I've got over 100 emails and the past day from readers. Four of them are, you know, blind Trump supporters who can't see anything else, the other 96 97 of them. Are all people saying, I I agree with you and a lot of them saying what you just said that you're a Republican. That they identified themselves as either their lifelong Republicans of their former Republicans, and they agree that they should not have happened. To Anthony Gonzales. I'd rather a principle. Thing that I disagree with then somebody that is a parent for somebody else that I ain't free with it. I'm fine with Tiffany does often disagree. We can have that Marine of idea. The sense of somebody in the finalist them. I'm against censorship, whether they're on my side when somebody else's side If we all took that fair, this role, be a lot better place Only in the arena ideas could get rid of the bad idea.

"And Places to stay and places division. He also developed a trading system, which took three decades of market experience and complicated charting analytics. And put it all in a trading system. That watch is really what the big boys the syndicate And the syndicate in the markets and what they're doing, and he follows along with where they're pushing the markets and the indexes stocks for its crypto currencies. All of it What he has done with the creation of sovereign vision that organs he tied together, the two things each and every man, women and child need to do together and that's having or developing a portable income. Creating a well defined defensive plan, like where you want to live or traveling, who you want with you while protecting your assets and family. I encourage your folks to go up after our interview, go to sovereign vision dot org's sovereign vision dot organs. My it's my pleasure to welcome David or Dave. Welcome to the Operation Freedom Platform. You're just so much for having me So Dave, let's let's to educate our listeners about sovereign vision dot org's what it's about and what they can what the information they can garner from the site. Well, you just wait to explain that. I guess there's two main parts. To each person's own personal sovereign vision. One is you have to develop in, establish or maintain some form of mobile system of income or revenue. So if you have a brick and mortar type business, it's a little bit more difficult to do so, so you should start planning accordingly before that is shut down and closed down in the near future. The second is to establish a plan. Customized to you and your families but particular situation. There's a plethora of information available out there online for people to read and see as you mentioned yourself to try and find out what can I do to try and protect myself, But most of it is cookie cutter. And it's designed where you can go by an entity here or a trust here, and it just doesn't work. Because when you come to find out in the long run, many judges across the country are now just dismissing those. So if you don't have certain other protections in place, you're gonna be in trouble going that route. Our mission that sovereign vision is provide actionable resource is for people wanting freedom control and options. So if someone has a dream, a need or desire to do that than they actually have a sovereign vision and we're here to help them develop that planet and implemented. Well, you know when I look at other sites there there, cookie cutter if you will, and it's kind of one size fits all in it and it looking at your sight and your recommendations. You you, really It's not cookie counter, and it's not one size fit all and you, actually you, Taylor. Different recommendations to different people looking at where they are in different aspects of their businesses or their lives. Correct. Yeah, that's absolutely correct and also in investments and finances as well. So let's talk about the your current analysis of where we are with financial markets, not just in our country but around the world and where we're headed. Yeah, I've been talking and discussing about how the U. S dollar is Going to be crashing. I really anticipated to start happened happening sooner. The seniors are current administration came in. You can see looking in my trading system that I do videos on all the time showing where the dollar is starting to crash against. Other currencies, other Fiat currencies, and you can see where they're actually moving, Maura, um or most of the inherent financial structures. Even those in Wall Street are starting to move more over codes the crypto realm away from Fiat currencies. They're still trying to push the stock market up. It makes me laugh every week when I see that they're still trying to shove the stock market. The places that it doesn't belong. And so you can see it and you can see it come forth, and you can see what happens. Using my trading system to watch these things. Get ready to fall on their face and see it about to collapse and roll over. Looks were speaking with Dave Etter from sovereign vision dot org's So Dave. Many of our listeners have looked at the financial landscape over the years and said, You know, I I don't they don't like where The financial markets Airheaded II, They appeared to be AH Ponzi scheme. People are concerned as you are about the dollar and what's gonna happen, and they diversified some of their assets into Precious metals in particular gold and silver. Where do you see those markets? At this point, the golden silver markets golden silver I love I'm actually in both myself and platinum. Um, when you actually look at it, and I go over those on a regular basis in my in my in my sight as well in sovereign vision dot or we go over those and I show people where it's a good time to actually do what we called dollar cost averaging and adding more positions in the Golden silver. And ever since beginning of the year. I think the last one was, uh, January and then there was another one in February or March that the market hit a recent low and fired signals to tell people to go ahead and grab more. And since that particular point, it started pushing up on Taoist busted over 1800 heading back up to where we believe it should go when we believe it's going to push its way up towards 10,000. In the future. Well, I did And what particular what about silver? Yeah. Silver is the silver is a fickle beast. And I don't know if you noticed recently. I'm never talking about silver that the guys from the the Gamestop site or whatever it was We're going into the red it people were trying to short silver started laughing. I was like, Yeah, that's not gonna work. So if you notice that get a little quick push down, and they're starting to push its way back up silver for a long time. Has been severely undervalued compared to gold. So when you look at the two of them side by side, you'll see that gold is pushing back towards its recent all time high. Faster than silver. Is it still wandering around below our silver signals showed by signals much more recently than our gold did. Yeah, I believe.

"Radio. Here is G. Scott. I thought we talked about positivity this morning G Because you seem like a pretty Positive person. The only way Yeah. Colleen is probably edges you out a little bit. Just a little, huh? She's relentlessly positive. There's really no good reason to be. Oh, but You too. I mean and so And so the question is, What's your secret? So you have, for example, the Mariners. They got no hit yesterday, right? They They were just they were humiliated. And yet they have to come back today, you know and play again and I know you've been in that situation. So what's the secret? Got to have a bad memory? Oh, you gotta have a bad memory and you have to take the rear view mirror off in your car, you know? I think that I'm trying to get better at it every day on D. I think a lot of times I just think about What I'm grateful for right what I have now and So much of life is always wanting in wanting and thinking that you need to have more things and so and you start, especially social media makes you feel like you need. Maura. You need a bigger house. You need a better lawn. You need better furniture. You need a better kitchen cabinets it He's Maura Maura. Um or And I think that we don't spend enough time. Thinking about what we are grateful for. We have and so is for me personally. And for the Mariners, as they were No hit by John means the Mariners need to have a bad memory. No, don't think about being no hit yesterday. Don't think about the fact that you haven't been to the playoffs in 20 years. Don't think about that, right? You don't have a saying. You know what I'm saying? Spliced all the things we're not gonna think about. It s so it right? Put him out there and then and then they don't own you. You own them, right? Release them. Yeah, And another thing one of those sayings that my dad used to always say to me is Champ. Show me who Your friends are and I'll show you where you're going, And he would always say that. And I believe that to be true in life, like we usually have about 32, maybe five people that we were outside of our co workers that we maybe chat with text with or call every single day. Well, those conversations and what we're talking about. Those things have a impact on us whether we know it or not. What we listen to what we watch. So I think the my secret guys is this and this is the truth. I focus more on what I have and what I'm grateful for because there were times 10 years ago that I would have never thought that I would be where I am. I'm at today. And so I just think it's all about being grateful for what you have. And so whatever it is, might you might be your what you have and what you're grateful for might be different than mine or different than your friends or your loved ones also to putting it into perspective. I think that helped me a lot in my career as well. When you make a mistake on air or this and that, and I had a mentor along the way, Eric Slocum rest in peace where he would say calling. We're not brain surgeons. Nobody dies when you make a mistake, and it's like, yeah, that kind of puts it in perspective for you that what we're doing in the grand scheme of things is not As important as you know, saying a brain surgeon in the same thing with the Mariners loss, right? Like nobody died because the Mariners lost yesterday s. So let's move on and on to the next game, it's all about perspective. G. I think you're right. Yeah, and usually right, like Usually the negativity and what we How can I say this? Most of the time we draw from what others are saying? That's the truth right? Like we might say who? We? I've gained a few pounds. But if somebody else says, Oh, we you gained a few pounds. It just hits a little heavier when somebody else says it. So ah, lot of Ah lot of societies. Problems right now are what we think about others opinion of us. If we can slow that down, right, like sometimes so forth his it's a simple example. I'll explain this. My son who's at Ohio State, right? And in the very beginning, there were games in which he didn't play. Right, so he didn't play. And so there would be people out there in the social media world. That would. Ha ha! You didn't play and you didn't do all those day. Ha ha! And it started to bother him a little bit. But then But then we had a conversation and I said, Well, wait a minute. Hold on. 10 years ago. It was a dream for you to be able to play college football. And now you're playing college football and you're in that dream right now. You're literally in that dream. And now you want more. You're playing with house money right now. So you are living that dream you are doing with less than 2% of the United States of America is doing but you're letting someone that's a part of the 98%. Try to draw the negativity out of you. So the point going forward is just appreciate where you're at Sun and at the end of the day, whether you play pro football or not, it doesn't matter. You livin the dream Still, you're still in that dream. As a matter of fact, to be honest with you guys, I'm living a dream If you wanna told if you.

"And Bloomberg Quick takes Tim Stenkovic from Bloomberg Radio. So Tim, One of the things that pandemic really brought to light is about the disparities that we're seeing in our society and our economy, specifically wealth gaps that we're seeing between black and white people reminded of it every day with the unequal recovery and the unequal impact that this pandemic has had. We did catch up with the head of one company, though that's working to change that. That's right. Jessica Norwood is who we spoke with. She's the founder and CEO of Runway. The firm describes itself as a financial innovation company, and they're committed to dismantling systemic barriers and reimagining financial policies and practices, And it helps to build black community well through early stage funding and more. Check it out. We started off thinking about runway and the disparity of black businesses, which Unfortunately, right now do the cove it and just the historical imbalance of African Americans ability to access capital, the racial wealth gap. That gap prior to Cove. It was somewhere around about $10,000 in combined wealth on average across the country for black people in about 142,000. White folks around the country combined. Well, Andre, since Colvin, everybody a white blacks. Everybody has taken a hit, so that number has been completely decimated on runway has been trying to think of innovative ways to make sure that These businesses that we care about. Stay active, continue to employ folks and make wonderful products as we know them to do. Well, it's interesting, you guys and we did a great Bloomberg story about some of the work that you're doing specifically about these guaranteed income pilot projects. Tell us a bit about this where you're actually giving residents Money, No strings attached. Um, you know, to help out specifically small businesses. Tell us a bit about that. Right, so this this started right as that at the time when everything was closing down around that this is probably April 2020 and the funding the fun team at runway came together to talk about our portfolio of companies, and they range from wonderful, You know, food makers and artisans and I'm all kinds of tech companies and so forth. What could we do to make sure that that group of folks made it through and we really believe in the community of our entrepreneurs, and we believe that our survival is really dependent on there. So we thought about it, and we came up with thinking that what we needed cash Andre that they needed a guaranteed income payments, something that they knew every month that was going to come in. That could help them to make some of the adjustments of some decisions that we all had to face around child care of flowing of business. We have one company that was a forest that did a lot of events in the summer and so How do those companies start to pivot? Go online, Maura, Um and just deal with the things that happen day to day in their life, So we decided that A cash payment every month for a few months would help give some of that breathing space to make those decisions and one of the things that was so important for us for us to say. That it didn't matter what they did with that money. They didn't have to report to us. They didn't have to make a nap location to get it or anything. It was a conversation with them about what we could do that would help them in this moment in time, and when we look at the success of it 100% of our business is still active and going and hiring people and the amount of money that we were able Tomo to them was really nominal. When we look at the ripple effect of what it means for those businesses to be up and running right now, at this time we like, if you think about it, right, if you're able to keep his business is going to impact on the family, specifically the business owner, But then again, anybody they employ and then ultimately is that business Gets bigger it becomes, you know, cast a wider net. What's interesting is you've done a lot of research on this on Dave looked into, and it's something that we actually talked this week with the former head of the FBI. See Sheila Bair about banks, they you know, in terms of lending to minority communities or minority business owners. Especially the big banks. They're not so good. That's right. That's right. One of the really incredible things that came out during this time Carol was a report from I think he came out in August or maybe the beginning of September from the Federal Reserve of New York that talked about this very issue of said specifically that it was because of systemic racism inside of the financial institution. Made it so that these businesses that we're talking about we're undercapitalized in the very beginning and therefore could not sustain this level of blow of closure and so forth. So we also looked at the data from the P P P, uh, program that the base for administering and again we saw numbers where African American entrepreneurs. I did not get the same access to those funds as other businesses did, and so we have a historic blind spot. Inside of the financial industry, particularly with banking and runway has been really active since the very beginning, toe work with depository institutions like banks and credit unions. Even some seedy if I loan funds and so forth, but to talk with them about those in these underlying biases that are coded inside of their underwriting process, how we can change those things right and incentivizing those changes. We're able to bring a lot of folk who are investing alongside of us who are really ready to put their money into banks that are going to be the kind of actors that are going to actually help these business. Well, listen, and I feel like so much of the work you're doing to its and we're getting much more clarity be much more deliberate, specific. It's not just gaps and income. It's really Gaps in in wealth. And and I know in the Bloomberg story that we wrote because of the racial wealth gap. The median net worth of white families is an estimated $171,000 compared to $17,250. Media net worth of black families. I mean that Jessica is huge. It's huge. It's huge, and I think what? Why runway it's so important in this time. Aziz you described were financial innovation firm and what we needed. We don't think that there's a one side solution of thing that's going to actually change it. I think that there's multiple failures along the way that have gotten that level of wealth to where it is from places around income inequality, toe housing, um to business, you know their education spending. There's a lot of places where we can really look at this. But what is what it's important at this point. For us to be deeply innovative that the things that we used to do for disaster or for business supports will not solve a historical problem. We have to be much more creative about it, and I think that's why a runway firm. Is really growing at this particular time. That was Jessica Norwood, founder and CEO of Runway Still to Come on Bloomberg Business Week. We've been looking forward to this one. Do you want to be famous? Yes,.

Even some seedy if I loan funds and so forth, but to talk with them about those in these underlying biases that are coded inside of their underwriting process, how we can change those things right and incentivizing those changes. We're able to bring a lot of folk who are investing alongside of us who are really ready to put their money into banks that are going to be the kind of actors that are going to actually help these business. Well, listen, and I feel like so much of the work you're doing to its and we're getting much more clarity being much more deliberate, specific. It's not just gaps and income. It's really Gaps in in wealth. And and I know in the Bloomberg story that we wrote because of the racial wealth gap. The median net worth of white families is an estimated $171,000 compared to $17,250. Media net worth of black families. I mean that Jessica is huge. It's huge. It's huge, and I think what why runway is so important In this time. It's a zoo described were financial innovation firm and what we needed. We don't think that there's a one side solution of thing that's going to actually change it. I think that there's multiple failures along the way that have gotten that level of wealth to where it is from places around income inequality, toe housing, um to business, you know their education spending. There's a lot of places where we can really look at this. But what is what it's important at this point. It's for us to be deeply innovative that the things that we used to do for disaster or for business supports will not solve historical problem. We have to be much more creative about it, and I think that's why a runway firm. Is really growing at this particular time.

"Quick takes Tim Stella Vic from Bloomberg Radio. So Tim, One of the things that pandemic really brought to light is about the disparities that we're seeing in our society and our economy, specifically wealth gaps that we're seeing between black and white people reminded of it every day with the unequal recovery and the unequal impact that this pandemic has had. We did catch up with the head of one company, though that's working to change that. That's right. Jessica Norwood is who we spoke with. She's the founder and CEO of Runway. The firm describes itself as a financial innovation company, and they're committed to dismantling systemic barriers and reimagining financial policies and practices, And it helps to build black community well through early stage funding and more. Check it out. We started off thinking about runway and the disparity of black businesses, which Unfortunately, right now do the cove it and just the historical imbalance of African Americans ability to access capital, the racial wealth gap. That gap prior to Cove it with somewhere around about $10,000 in combined wealth on average across the country for black people in about 142,000. White folks around the country combined. Well, um and since cold it, everybody a white blacks. Everybody has taken a hit. And so that number has been completely decimated on runway has been trying to think of innovative ways to make sure that These businesses that we care about. Stay active, continue to employ folks and make wonderful products as we know them to do. Well, it's interesting, you guys and we did a great Bloomberg story about some of the work that you're doing specifically about these guaranteed income pilot projects. Tell us a bit about this where you're actually giving residents Money, No strings attached. Um, you know, to help out specifically small businesses. Tell us a bit about that. Right, so this this started right as that at the time when everything was closing down around that this is probably April 2020 and the funding the fun team at runway came together to talk about our portfolio of companies, and they range from wonderful, You know, food makers and artisans and I'm all kinds of tech companies and so forth. What could we do to make sure that that group of folks made it through and we really believe in the community of our entrepreneurs, and we believe that our survival is really dependent on there. So we thought about it, and we came up with thinking that what we need it is cash. Andre that they needed a guaranteed income payments, something that they knew every month that was going to come in. That could help them to make some of the adjustments and some decisions that we all had to face around child care of flowing of business. We have one company that was a forest that did a lot of events in the summer. And so how do those companies start to visit? Go online, Maura, um and just deal with the things that happen day to day in their life, So we decided that a cash payment every month for a few months. Would help give some of that breathing space to make those decisions and one of the things that was so important for us for us to say. That it didn't matter what they did with that money. They didn't have to report to us. They didn't have to make a nap location to get it or anything. It was a conversation with them about what we could do that would help them in this moment in time, and when we look at the success of it 100% of our business is still active and going and hiring people and the amount of money that we were able Tomo to them was really nominal. When we look at the ripple effect of what it means for those businesses to be up and running right now, at this time we like if you think about it, right, if you're able to keep his business is going to impact on the family, specifically the business owner, But then again, anybody they employ and then ultimately that business Gets bigger it becomes, you know, cast a wider net. What's interesting is you've done a lot of research on this on Dave looked into, and it's something that we actually talked this week with the former head of the FBI. See Sheila Bair about banks, they you know, in terms of lending to minority communities or minority business owners. Especially the big banks. They're not so good. That's right. That's right. One of the really incredible things that came out during this time Carol was a report from I think he came out in August or maybe the beginning of September from the Federal Reserve of New York that talked about this very issue of and said specifically that it was because of systemic racism inside of the financial institution. Made it so that these businesses that we're talking about we're undercapitalized in the very beginning and therefore could not sustain this level of blow of closure and so forth. Way. Also look at the data from the P P. P program. That's the base for administering and again we saw numbers where African American entrepreneurs Did not get the same access to those funds as other businesses did, and so we have a historic blind spot. Inside of the financial industry, particularly was banking and runway has been really active since the very beginning, toe work with depository institutions like banks and credit unions. Even some seedy if I loan funds and so forth, but to talk with them about those in these underlying biases that are coded inside of their underwriting process, how we can change those things right and incentivizing those changes. We're able to bring a lot of folks who are investing alongside of us who are really ready to put their money into banks that are going to be the kind of actors that are going to actually help these business.

And and I know in the Bloomberg story that we wrote because of the racial wealth gap. The median net worth of white families is an estimated $171,000 compared to $17,150. Media net worth of black families. I mean that Jessica is huge. It's huge. It's huge, and I think what why runway is so important In this time. It's a zoo you described were financial innovation firm and what we needed. We don't think that there's a 15 solution of thing that's going to actually change it. I think that there's multiple failures along the way that have gotten that level of wealth where it is from places around income inequality, toe housing, um to business, you know their education spending. There's a lot of places where we can really look at this. But what is what it's important at this point.

Pacers lose to New Orleans tonight. 1 14 1 13. And that's a tough one tough when Chris Yeah, they had chances made a great comeback and the at the end just came up short. Yeah, they did, And it was the bench unit with one starter Justin Holiday that play the entire fourth quarter. The Pacers were down 18 late third quarter made a run at the end of the third. And maybe organs. You know how many times do you see this in the NBA? Not a lot. Never asked E. Where you see where you see a coach will just stay with the same players and he just stayed with the guys that brought him back. They took a lead at 1 to 1 on one on the Doug McDermott. Three. They had a 1051 of four lead, but I'll tell you, the guy that hurt the Pacers all night. Not just dyin Williamson and Brandon Ingram, but Lonzo Ball. Wonder Ball not known as a three point shooter. He made five of them tonight. And had had big answers late, but, uh, it was, it was a heck of a comeback. It's been an interesting week. Bob because you start out on Sunday, you have a 20 point lead on the best team of the East and you fritter that away and lose to Philadelphia. You come back and blow out. A Memphis team that had won seven straight was the hottest team in the league. You go to Milwaukee against a very good team and get blown out. You're down by 40. And then tonight you're down 18 you come all the way back. Take the lead, but you fall short, so And what do you get for all of that? On Sunday, the best team in the NBA is in town, the Utah Jazz who are 18 and five, but you know it's been. It's been an interesting year. They're 12 and 11. They're still fit in the East. They're doing it without two starters. T. J Warren is out caress liver. It will be a starter when he's healthy, right. So with the first year coach just trying toe You know, sort of put the pieces together. Yeah, they've got to play a little bit better. There's no question about that. They've faltered a little bit here, but it's a long season and you know, hopefully what you learned tonight. You can count on some bench guys in critical situations, and even though they didn't get the job done, I think it will help them in the future. Well, I mean, you're you point out this is a team. Clearly as the RA League is right now use a team capable of beating anybody. They play like everyone else. They're looking for consistency with the in the game within a quarter within a stretch. You know how this is, but that's what makes it so much fun for a guy like you. You mean you're gonna watch something interesting every night? Mean, tonight was an amazing game. It was a fantastic game. There were a couple of 1000 people in the building. You're staying. You're seeing Maura. Um Or I think they want to. They want to crawl, then walk, then run. I think I think the health department has said you could have about 4000 in the building they've done is they started out it about 1000. They're ramping up to about 2000 and then probably somewhere near the end of this month. Early part will get the 4000 and that makes all the difference in the world and creating an environment. You know you're seeing it in high school basketball with some of the limited fans that could be there. The families and friends and some of the students. You're right. I was listening to you, Um, last summer, did we think we'd be in this situation? We weren't even sure what we would be able to write, whether it be high school sports approach towards the fact that we're still able to do. This is a very good thing. It's an amazing thing to be honest, and I mean, but you're right. There's a whole lot of basketball to be played. And it's a fun team to watch. They play hard. They share the ball each night. Someone seems to be stepping up and giving you a big lift. It seems to be one of the hallmarks of this team to this point. TJ McConnell came off the bench. He had 13 assists tonight. Yeah, it's a fun team and and like I said, there's a long way to go. There's 49 games left there right in the middle of the Eastern Conference, So I think I think they feel good with where they are. They'd like to be a little bit better. But, hey, we'll see what happens is we go on. Kristin Eri is the television voice of the Indiana Pacers. Pacers Lose tonight to New Orleans 1 14 1 13, Utah.

Thank you for listening to South Florida Sunday on the stations of Harvard Radio West Palm Beach. You are listening to South Florida Sunday. And we thank you for being with us this morning, and we're happy to welcome to the program. Our friends at Palm Beach Kennel Club Theresa humans with us. And the Theresa. Welcome to South Florida Sunday. Happy to be here. Now we've been seeing in the news a lot of stories about the Greyhound racing coming to an end and Palm Beach Kennel Club, and so we're glad to have you on because I know there's a couple of different Things that we need to discuss. And the first is, of course, is what are we going to do with these beautiful magnificent animals, and you have the perfect answer? I do Well, we are in the process of finding homes for every one of the greyhounds that have raised here. And we, some of the greyhounds have gone on to race at other locations throughout the country. And some have gone to other adoption programs. Also throughout the country. And we're very fortunate that we work with four local group. Who have been working hard the past couple of months and continue to work hard. Um, to find the remaining Greyhounds that are still in this area. Um, homes and We're so fortunate to have them because what they do is they will take in the Greyhound. One state retire from racing and, um, get him shipshape. Um With Visiting the bet. Um And then they taken applications from people, too, who are interested in adopting the greyhounds, and they got out these applications. And place them into good homes. This is wonderful, and I have to say, having spoken with several groups here in the area over the years here on South Florida Sunday, when we were not in the middle of quarantine, and they were nice enough to bring some of the greyhounds with them for our interview, and I must say they are just the generalist. Sweetest, just they're just a joy to be around. And if you're thinking about adding a new member to your family, I strongly urge you to consider Rescuing one of these greyhounds now do folks who want to participate in adoption. Do they reach out to these individual groups? Or is there a central location that they contact to find out about adoption? Yes, there is. If if you go to the Palm Beach Kennel Club website, there's an area under. Um be about, um Pulled down of our website that that addresses gray home pets and then each one of the group. Has their own website and lots of times. They will have adoptable greyhounds on their sites in the application that starts the process. Of Um, you know, but potentially getting one of the great hands, But I will tell you Um, that we have found in the last couple of weeks that we have more adopters have greyhounds. Well, that's good news. So the the number one message that we're putting out there is yes, they make wonderful pets. Um we're still going through the process of figuring out which greyhounds will will stay in this area on which will move on to other Great groups throughout the country. Um But we are asking people for their patients. Go ahead and check out the different groups and therefore four different groups. You know, read their information. And if you if you care to fill out an application, just be patient, it may it may take a couple weeks or Or they may get back to you and say you're gonna have to wait longer or we just can't help you out. But, um, we're leaving the door open that there will be Um, greyhounds for the local adopters. And now, um, I know, I know the answer to this, but I just want to get this out there to the folks who may be considering adoption. Um, are there any special needs that these, uh, greyhounds need? They're They're just your typical loveable dog. Right? There's no special nothing special you need to do as an owner. No, no, I have one. His name is Pancho and he's just like you said he is so gentle. Um, I have a granddaughter who? He He maneuvers around her. He tolerates her. And he, um, is just a We sweet dog. We wait, Um, you know, educate everyone when they do adopt a dog, and it's just the same as any any other type of dog. You know you want there's going to be, um, an adjustment period. When you first got on, make sure you're closing your doors and you're walking him on a leash. They love to go toe for walks Mind. Loves to go for runs. Um, you know, that's something they love to Dongo. If you have the place that they could do that they're they're happy. They eat. Um Regular food on there. There. A really easy going dog. Yeah, they really are very, very sweet, very gentle. On. Do you know you were mentioned that you have Maura? Um, applicants? Adoptees? If you will. Then you do have a doctors than you do Adoptees to say. Is that one way? Um And and although you appreciate the outpouring of support, it's really not a good idea. Even though you may be compelled T feel bad and want to adopt him. If you have to be honest with yourself if you're not really capable of Of being a dog parent. Then you really shouldn't apply, right? I mean, you know you need to be home during the day sometimes and you can't just adopt the dog and then leave it in the house all by himself for ever, right?.

Just a couple weeks in right, Tim the 2021 I po market, often runny. We cut up With Bloomberg News deals. Reporter crystals see to hear about the activity. We we really are saying the yet with very, very sizable on high profile IPO's just this week, we have seen at least six companies when public in New York on that includes Petco, and that includes a firm posh Mar. A lot of them are consumer facing companies. We have seen a bunch of technology companies went public. Laid in the quarter. But let it be consumer attack. 2021 is going to be a year of another record year, potentially for IPO's. We already have seen, you know, certain companies come out and say that they have either confidentially found or engaging advisors on listings, so not only that we are potentially going to Seymour directly saying given there now. Able to raise cos I would raise a proceeds from from these transactions. So all in all, it's gonna be a big year for E. C. M. For capital markets on bit's The best is one of the best start in the year. That was seen s Oh, yeah. Petco and Theodore options really help them in terms of growth, And it's not just a short term, um, actual term boost in revenue or in business that they're gonna see. People who adopt during the pandemic are going to have the pet for the next decade or so, And that really helped him and it's the same train that they see in the suburbs and in cities. Um so in terms of extension, um millennials, getting pets and covert definitely have been a driver. Echo a name that's going public for a second time and with a great ticker. We're talking about Petco Health and Wellness, which follows the pop prints of chewy, which went public last year and bark expected This year via SPAC. Let's not forget that Julie was a cover story at Bloomberg Business Week. I mean, it's all about everybody's pets. I do want to say, though, that the owner of the animal supply chain store Petco Man, they raised 864 million in that I po. Yeah, a lot right, and it returned the retailer to the public market 15 years after it was taken private. The company, which is changing its name to Petco Health and wellness Company, in conjunction with the listing sold 48 million shares for $18 each No. After the I P. A Petco will continue to be controlled by its current owners that includes CVC Capital Partners and Canada Pension Plan Investment board. They acquired Petco for 4.6 billion from TPG and Letter Green and 2016. A decade after those two firms took Peco private. It's one of those Harvard Business School's case, but it is I got to say yes, absolutely is. It also speaks to the cycle of this stuff, right public private, private public right, which we see a lot and in the process. Everybody's making a lot of money along the way we could. Up with Petco CEO Ron Coughlin and of that ticker, by the way, Let's get back to that. It's w 00 F wolf. Let me start with what hasn't changed. That hasn't changed is the mission of the company to really improve the lives of pets? Pet parent has always been in the hearts. Of the folks who work at Petco. But what's changed is we really retooled the business. Instead of being a big bag of dog food in a cart type company. We really become a complete partner for the health and wellness of a pet parrot, and we're really the only ones that can do that. Because we're the only ones who have a veterinary hospitals. Training, grooming that they online and the mass players don't have we have the highest and food with on Lee, retailers said. We're getting rid of artificial ingredients getting rid of shock collars. And then we have strong e commerce and our stores, which are now called pet care centers that Maura um or are working together. So here's an amazing fact for you 80% or e commerce orders are getting fulfilled. Who are pet care centers, which just gives us faster to the customer and lower costs versus competition, Right? You don't have to have these huge what massive distribution centers. We call that right? We call these micro distribution centers. Yes, and it really gives us a competitive edge. We talked about it as forward deployed inventory. Ron, I gotta say, I love dogs got my dog scout. She's quite the spoiled little critter. But what's interesting is that I've talked with the CEO of two. We follow this sector because it has really exploded. We have definitely seen it take off. Where's the most growth? Is it the healthcare side of it and the pet care centers? Is that it? Is it merchandise? What is it? So you're seeing explosive growth and services. So that's where we're putting a lot of effort. We're building out the fastest. That network build out in history really focused on The affordable vet care. 70% of pests don't get the care they need because of affordability. So we're rolling out 70 that hospitals a year, so that's a big growth area. And the other growth area is around digital. And that's where you know we were growing 20 to 30% before Cove it and we're growing 90% last quarter in our digital offering, So you're seeing that competitive it Competitive advantage Come through. Listen, we know the pandemic. I'm sure you've asked been asked this question A million times have forgive me. The pandemic led to people Adopting a lot of pets I know is I walked my dog over the last year. The streets were kind of littered with you could see the various, you know, pet retailer's e tailers boxes. Everybody was buying things for their pets argue at all concerned that as we all eventually get back to work that maybe that focus on our pets changes. Yeah, So, So first we have 3.3 million new pets in America today. Based upon what happened in covert and people needing a little more joy in their lives and those adoptions, and those need to be said they need to be groomed. They need to be trained and they're going to be vaccinated so that provide the lift the entire category in terms of change of behavior. The good news is more and more companies and plays or talking about working from home, so that should be good and more more employers are becoming dog friendly, so we don't anticipate and his history says There's not a lot of, you know returns if you will with live pets, so and if if you know where we actively try Tol, make sure that pets are put in homes. Peco Foundation Save 401,000 lives a year from euthanasia, and we're dedicated, trying eliminate euthanasia, so We're gonna be a catalyst for making sure that nothing bad happens. Excited, responsible pet ownership. That's the thing that I think you know, everybody needs to know about because that is going to help you in your cause there. Hey, brick and mortar. How important is that? Like I do you guys think about That you need to have to some extent, some saturation almost like a Starbucks where people if they're moving around, they need something for the pets that they see Pepco's everywhere. How important is that to the business story for you guys? You know, we're comfortable with our footprint will. What I will tell you is our brick and mortar pet care centers are absolutely sources of competitive vantage. You think about it right? They are the salons for pets. They're the hospital for pets and even the schools for peds s O R services make you know we get much more utilization than your traditional retailer..

Just a couple weeks in right, Tim the 2021 I Po market often running, we cut up The Bloomberg News deals reporter Crystal Sea to hear about the activity. We we really are saying the year with very, very sizable on high profile IPO's Just this week, we have seen at least six companies when public in New York on that includes Petco, and that includes a firm posh bar. A lot of them are consumer facing companies. We have seen a bunch of technology companies went public. Laid in the quarter. But let it be consumer attack. 2021 is going to be a year of another record year, potentially for IPO's We already have seen, you know, certain companies come out and say that they have either confidentially found or engaging, advises on listings, so not only that we are potentially gonna Seymour directly saying given there now. Able to raise cos I would raise a proceeds from from these transactions. So all in all, it's going to be a big year for E. C. M. For capital markets on it's the best. It's one of the best start in a year. That was seen s Oh, yeah, Pickle in the adoptions, really help them in terms of growth, And it's not just a short term, um, actual term boost in revenue or in business that they're gonna see. People who adopt during the pandemic are going to have the pet for the next decade or so, And that really helped him and it's the same train that they see in some suburbs and in cities. Um so in terms of extension, um millennials, getting pets and covert definitely have been a driver. Echo a name that's going public for a second time and with a great ticker. We're talking about Petco Health and Wellness, which follows the palm prints of chewy, which went public last year and bark expected This year via a speck. Let's not forget that Julie was a cover story at Bloomberg Business Week. I mean, it's all about everybody's pets. I do want to say, though, that the owner of the animal supply chain store Petco Man they raised 864 million in that I po. Yeah, a lot right, and it returned the retailer to the public market 15 years after it was taken private.

A Petco will continue to be controlled by its current owners that includes CVC Capital Partners and Canada Pension Plan Investment board. They acquired Petco for 4.6 billion from TPG and Letter Green and 2016. A decade after those two firms took Peco private. It's one of those Harvard business School's case that it is I got to say yes, absolutely is. It also speaks to the cycle.

Congratulations of really strong I po, So tell us about What has changed because this is what 15 years Since Petco was last a public company what's changed in terms of the kind of company it is and the kind of growth outlook that it has going forward? Thanks, Carol. It's great to be here, You know, Let me start with what hasn't changed. That hasn't changed is the mission of the company to really improve the lives of pets? Pet parent has always been in the heart. Of the folks who worked at Petco. But what's changed is we really retooled the business.

So here's an amazing fact for you. 80% of our e commerce orders are getting fulfilled through our pet care centers, which just gives us faster to the customer and lower cost versus competition, right? You don't have to have these huge what massive distribution centers. We call that phrase we call these micro distribution centers. Yes, and it really gives us a competitive vantage. We talk about it as forward deployed inventory run. I got to say I love dogs got my dog scout. She's quite the spoiled little critter. But what's interesting is that I've talked with this You have to. We follow this sector because it has really exploded. We have definitely seen it take off. Where is the most growth? Is it the healthcare side of it and the pet care centers? Is that it? Is it merchandise? What is it? So you're seeing explosive growth and services. So that's where we're putting a lot of effort. We're building out the fastest. That network build out in history really focused on the affordable vet care. 70% of pests don't get the care they need because of affordability. So we're rolling out 70 that hospitals a year, so that's a big growth area. And the other growth area is around Digital. And that's where you know we were growing 20 to 30% before Cove it and we're growing 90% last quarter in our digital offerings, So you're seeing that competitive it competitive advantage Come through. Listen, we know the pandemic. I'm sure you've asked been asked this question A million times to forgive me because I know it's been a long day for you. But Pandemic led to people adopting a lot of pets I know is I walked my dog over the last year, The streets were kind of littered with you could see the various, you know, pet retailer's e tailers boxes. Everybody was buying things for their pets argue at all concerned that as we all eventually get back to work that maybe that focus on our pets changes. Yeah, So, So first we have 3.3 million new pets in America today. Based upon what happened in covert and people needing a little more joy in their lives and those adoptions and those need to be fed. They need to be groomed. They need to be trained and they're going to be vaccinated. So that provides a lift the entire category in terms of change of behavior. The good news is more and more companies and plays or talking about working from home. So that should be good and more more employers are becoming dog friendly. So we don't anticipate and history says there's not a lot of, you know returns if you will with live pets, so and if you know where we actively try Tol make sure that pets are put in homes. Peco Foundation Save 400,000. 1000 lives a year from euthanasia, and we're dedicated trying eliminate euthanasia. So we're gonna be a catalyst for making sure that nothing bad happens. I'm excited, responsible pet ownership. That's the thing that I think you know, everybody needs to know about because that is going to help you in your cause there. Hey, brick and mortar. How important is that? Like I do you guys think about That you need to have to some extent, some saturation almost like a Starbucks where people if they're moving around, they need something for the pets that they see Pepco's everywhere. How important is that to the business story for you guys? You know, we're comfortable with our footprint. But what I will tell you is our brick and mortar pet care centers are absolutely sources of competitive vantage. You think about it right? They are the salon for pets. They're the hospital for pets or even the schools for peds s O R services make you know we get much more utilization than your traditional retailer. But secondly, now they're micro distribution centers, and they're providing competitive vantage for e commerce. So you know people think of us in the past as a traditional retailer, But that's not what we are. We're services center and we're Nikon Fulfillment Center. So they are providing strategic advantage for us. Just got about 50 seconds left here. Investors paid a big here on this first day. A lot of enthusiasm. Ron, let me ask you you guys had a net loss of 25 million on net sales of about 3.6 billion for the 39 week period ending October 31st. That's according to filings went. What's the problem? What's the path to profitability? When does it happen? Yeah, So first that's already happened. We grew net income. The last two quarters on great thing is that all the proceeds going to use to be used to pay down debt, which means our debt payments or get cut in half. So we were profitable in the last two quarters. And, you know, this one put us in a better position. Okay. What kind of dog are cut? Do you have or what do you got?

"Cheeks, so I brought it to the attention of management. This gentleman was quote unquote written up. Whatever that means. He did retain his job this past Friday. Would terminate it. We're sending what an employment attorney called a perfectly innocuous email. My work account. What did the email But what was there? What was the company's rationale? Why did they What was in that email that that they felt was it was a a term terminating a fence. So basically part of my job was you put together partnership between our very small organization and larger organizations. National You know, national ones. Resource is At their disposal, and I sent a follow up email regarding a partnership call we had Where I basically Very politely acknowledged our our room for improvement. You know, we operate strictly based on volunteers. We have very low resource is okay. And I said, Our partnership is gonna help us overcome this. I appreciate it. Well, it turns out the email was being monitored and they leapt upon me and got rid of me and you know it's an at will state. But I guess my point is You can call A coworker, a white supremacist with absolutely no facts to back you up. But there was no mentor ship called for me. There was no gentle coaching for me. Now. Here I am. Middle aged man unemployed during the worst economy since the Great Depression. Unbelievable. And I've I've got the scarlet letter of Trump on my arm band, and I can't help nowhere to turn so good luck, fellas. That's frustrating, And that's that's scary, Tom and I hope things work out for you Keep us in the loop, okay? The only thing that you know, and I know this is no, I know it's no solace for Tom because this is not how how it played out. Um, this is kind of how I've always approached things It's like and I'll never forget not used the anecdote not use it often, but When, when, when Drew and I first started working together, Laura Ingram was on the radio station and I remember just tuning in one day, and she made a comment and don't even know what it was contractually attached to it this point in time, but she just said, You know, you do the right thing and you win every time. Right, and even in circumstances where you're going to be treated unfairly, I I know that sometimes the right thing doesn't went out and you get treated unfairly. And tragically, In Tom's case, he lost his job. I know for us. And for me and Andrew, I know you feel this way. And I'm sure Sam does too. But, you know, I know how consistent we've attempted to be on the show. You know, if if the silencing police ever comes, you know, ever comes a knocking You're not a bare minimum. You know, I can sit back and go. There's nothing I can do. I can only control what I can control. And it's not because I ever said anything That was egregious. Iran for as much as they want to to to label you and call you is you know is, um, names and Esther names. You know, as long as you do the right thing At the end of the day, you can go. I have no control over this. You know this bad thing happening? It wasn't because of me. It was because of what somebody else labeled me that I don't have any control over and I know for Thomas probably provides no solace whatsoever. But that's how I feel moving forward with this whole thing and how I feel about things right now to go to a Mike in Clearwater. Good morning, Mike. Morning. Can you guys hear me? Yes, sir. Yeah. Hey, So you said earlier that you thought of getting up social media will yesterday I did that. I was only on Facebook. And part of the reason is that you send you guys messages but in bug stand with called 30 times the morning, you know, while you guys were talking about stuff, but I got off. I got your message that you were leaving Mike and I know exactly who you work, right? So you know, I did that. And I just kinda and I did it because I just don't want to be under the tentacles of the tech tyrants. And you know, I've already shown on my liberal high school rivals. How great my life is and how much their life sucks. So I don't need to be a social media anymore. And the other reason yet other the other thing I called his term limits if you determine Term limits, right? It won't It will work. You have to do him right? The Missouri tried it, And it's not working because now what the graft has transferred over to is the is the bureaucrats that run the government programs. So what you gotta do? It hasn't hurt the presidency and here's my suggestion. You, you know, limited congressman to five to your to your terms. And Senate to two Senate terms and pay him like $3 million years, so they don't have to deal with. You know, you don't have to worry about graft. Been banned them from lobbying. But let's also have term limits on any managerial official working for the federal government in Washington, D. C. And I think that would solve the problem with term limits. You know another thing that I wanted to talk about it because you guys keep give me pop pour issues is Donald Trump is partly to blame for what has happened to him. You know, we need you know we need it would have been nice could have found a trump that was more like Dwight D. Eisenhower and give you a story. Harry Truman was if you remember the McCarthy era. Harry Truman was land basking McCarthy and they were fighting in the press. And that just gave McCarthy more Maura. Um More room to maneuver. Dwight Eisenhower ignored McCarthy and finally, McCarthy diet out and what it would have been nice. You know, Part of that is because Trump playing the plane. Yeah, we're short on time. But Mike Land the plane. Okay. All right. I couldn't do it any longer. So you guys take care of that wasn't abrupt Land. A good job. Emergency landing stuff was McCarthy Eisenhower Industry. Yeah, one of them. I'm just gonna get in there and get to the point and end. Listen, it didn't matter. It didn't matter how you look, you couldn't weekend and that there's no offense to you make it all and s so don't take it this way, at least trying to take it this way. But look You could have. You could have had trump adjust. However. You wanted to see him adjust, and it didn't matter, right? He was, Oh, he was always always always a matter of fact, I would argue that Trump actually did adjust his second, the second part of his first term. He pulled way way back for anybody paying attention. It didn't matter. Nope. No, they decided early on. They decided during the campaign that okay, how we gonna run against this guy? How we gonna frame this guy? OK, we're gonna call them racist. We're gonna call them white supremacy. We're gonna call him all these things, but, you know, he wasn't supposed to win, so it didn't matter. And it was gonna I was gonna go away as soon as Hillary one..

And now South Florida Sunday, a production of the public affairs Department of Hubbard Radio West Palm Beach. You are listening to South Florida Sunday, and we thank you for being with us this morning, and we're happy to welcome to the program. Our friends at Palm Beach Kennel Club Theresa Humans with US and Theresa, Welcome to South Florida Sunday. Happy to be here. Now we've been seeing in the news a lot of stories about the Greyhound racing coming to an end and Palm Beach Kennel Club, and so we're glad to have you on because I know there's a couple of different Things that we need to discuss. And the first is, of course, is what are we going to do with these beautiful magnificent animals, and you have the perfect answer? I do Well, we are in the process of finding homes for every one of the greyhounds that have raised here. And we, some of the greyhounds have gone on to race at other locations throughout the country. And some have gone to other adoption programs. Also throughout the country. And we're very fortunate that we work with four local group. Who have been working hard the past couple of months and continue to work hard. Um, to find the remaining Greyhounds that are still in this area. Um, homes and We're so fortunate to have them because what they do is they will take in the Greyhound. One state retire from racing and, um, get him shipshape. Um With Um Visiting the bet. Um And then they taken applications from people, too, who are interested in adopting the greyhounds, and they got out these applications. And place them into good homes. This is wonderful, And I have to say, having spoken with several groups here in the area over the years here on South Florida Sunday, when we were not in the middle of quarantine, and they were nice enough to bring some of the greyhounds with them for our interview. And I must say they are just the generalist. Sweetest, just they're just a joy to be around. And if you're thinking about adding a new member to your family, I strongly urge you to consider Rescuing one of these greyhounds now do folks who want to participate in adoption. Do they reach out to these individual groups? Or is there a central location that they contact to find out about adoption? Yes, there is. If if you go to the Palm Beach Kennel Club website, there's an area under. Um be about, um Hold down of our Web sites that that addresses gray home pets and then each one of the group. Has their own website and lots of times. They will have adoptable greyhounds on their sites in the application that starts the process. Of Um, you know, like, potentially getting one of the great hands, But I will tell you Um, that we have found in the last couple of weeks that we have more adopters have greyhounds. Well, that's good news. So the the number one message that we're putting out there is yes, they make wonderful pets. Um we're still going through the process of figuring out which greyhounds will will stay in this area on which will move on to other Great groups throughout the country. Um But we are asking people for their patients go ahead and check out the different groups and their four different groups. You know, repair information. And if you if you care to fill out an application, just be patient, it may it may take a couple weeks or Or they may get back to you and say you're gonna have to wait longer or we just can't help you out. But, um, we're leaving the door open that there will be Um, greyhounds for the local adopters. And now, um, I know, I know the answer to this, but I just want to get this out there to the folks who may be considering adoption. Um, are there any special needs that these, uh, greyhounds need? They're They're just your typical loveable dog. Right? There's no special nothing special you need to do as an owner. No, no, I have one. His name is Pancho and he's just like you said he is so gentle. Um, I have a granddaughter who? He He maneuver surround her. He tolerates her. And he, um, is just a We sweet dog. We wait, Um, you know, educate everyone when they do adopt a dog, and it's just the same as any any other type of dog. You know you want there's going to be, um, an adjustment period. When you first got on, make sure you're closing your doors and you're walking him on a leash. They love to go toe for walks Mind. Let's to go for runs. Um, you know, that's something they love to Dongo. If you have the place that they could do that they're they're happy. But they eat. Um Regular food on dirt there. A really easy going dog. Yeah, they really are very, very sweet, very gentle. On. Do you know you were mentioned that you have Maura? Um, applicants? Adoptees? If you will. Then you do have a doctors than you do Adoptees to say. Is that one way? Um And and although you appreciate the outpouring of support, it's really not a good idea. Even though you may be compelled Teofilo bad and want to adopt him, if you have to be honest with yourself if you're not really capable of Of being a dog parent. Then you really shouldn't apply, right? I mean, you know you need to be home during the day sometimes and you can't just adopt the dog and then leave it in the house all by himself for ever, right?.

"Back on very marks in here with the K p R news special. And thanks for joining us as we continue to talk about what occurred at the U. S Capitol yesterday it was an insurrection. It was really nothing short of that. An attack on the capital on it was a violent attack on the capital by Trump supporters. 60 Capitol Police officers were injured 15 are still hospitalized. And I want to bring you up to date on a couple of things. Treasury Secretary Chao resigned she President Trump's Treasury secretary. She just resigned. He said it was too much. What the president did yesterday was too much and then just moments ago. We heard Nancy Pelosi speaking. It was her normal weekly press conference. Believe or not, it just happened happened on this day on. She had some very strong words about what should happen to President Trump president has committed an unspeakable assault. On our nation and our people. I joined the Senate Democratic leader and calling on the vice president to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment. If the vice president of cabinet do not act. The Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. All right, so there you have it. The speaker of the House is calling on vice president Pence, too, and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment that can on Lee happen in everybody's talking about the Cabinet, invoking the 25th amendment, But the vice president has to be involved in that it doesn't go around the vice president, so I don't know that that's gonna happen, but the speaker of the House calling on them To do that in to remove this president today. I do want to talk a little bit about how this started. How this how we got here because it didn't just happen. What occurred yesterday in Washington, D C was a long time coming and we go back for four years on and talk about all the times all the things that President Trump did where Republicans, many of them wouldn't come out and say, you know, I like a lot of what the president does it like a lot of his policies. But this is bad. This is wrong. They just wouldn't do that. But I really want to just focus on the last two months since this election, and we're gonna focus on Arizona for just a moment because Kelli Ward, the chair of the Arizona Republican Party, and the party itself, have been at the forefront of leading this disco ball of lies about election integrity in Arizona and what the evidence shows with the facts show. And we know that because they've been repeatedly tested in court on we've asked to see this evidence repeatedly tested in court and found there is no evidence of fraud in Arizona. Another less Kelli Ward and the Republic. Daisy GOP Here in Arizona have led this charge of basically lying to their people and charging them up as if this election was stolen. There is no evidence of that. And you know that because they're not showing evidence. They just keep demanding more and more, um, audits Maura um or reviews Maura and more a comparisons of the ballots that were cast. They've done that already. It's occurred. It's in the law. Every part of Arizona law was followed as to how elections are to occur. Or follow the state level. They were followed on the county level. Certainly America Open County and the GOP here in Arizona. Led by Kelly Ward brought this to court. I believe it's nine times and in each of those cases The court found there was no evidence of fraud. And the judges stated directly that not only wasn't there any evidence of fraud, there isn't even a scintilla of evidence that any widespread fraud occurred. And how else do we know that Because Republicans who supported President Trump for the last four years starting with governor do see and working your way down Republicans who supported President Trump in Arizona, those with actual responsibility to ensure the integrity of our elections, all of them. Have said the election here was handled properly. It was handled right with the count was done properly. All the legal votes were counted and we have our winner. And we know this to be true, based on facts not on not on wild hearsay, not understatements of people, saying fraud exists on actual evidence, in fact, and despite that Kelly wards of the world. And the GOP the phone and I'm not talking about this Republicans out there. If you're a Republican, I'm talk about the folks were running this party in Arizona. The folks who lost a presidential election in Arizona for the first time since 1996 the second time in 17 years. That Democrat is won the presidential election there in Arizona. Ask yourself why For the first time in the history of Arizona. We have two Democratic senators. Ask yourself why It's because the folks running the party right now are focused on this silliness. And getting people all riled up so that they go and storm the capital, as opposed to doing the job of a part of political party in the state, which is toe find good candidates raise money and do everything you can to get those candidates elected. That's not happening here in Arizona. You have to ask yourself why And Today. The Arizona GOP on Twitter Their Twitter account. By the way, all they've been saying up before today is Oh, my goodness. We have 60,000 new followers. Isn't that wonderful? They're saying these things to get more attention. They say the most unbelievably, uh, insightful things to get more attention to get more likes to get more followers today posted a long Along Twitter. Ah, thread basically saying, the folks who were there were peaceful and anybody who did violent shouldn't have and and trying to act as if they had nothing to do with why this occurred yesterday in D. C. And they did. They were one of the groups one of the parties, one of the people directly responsible for what happened there because people from Arizona they were in that crowd in Washington, D. C. Yesterday, people from Arizona were in the capital, They broke into the capital. They stormed the capital in an insurrection to stop that vote. They were from Arizona, and we know it because we have their pictures. Some of the pictures going around on Twitter and on social media today, those Air Arizona people My groom had on his show this morning, he said. He knows some of these people.

Suburban Seattle officer pleads not guilty to murder charge
"So as you heard in Aaron's newscast, an Auburn police officer who is charged with murder is going to be in court this morning for his arraignment. Prosecutors say Officer Jeff Nelson punched Jesse Saray seven times and then shot him in the stomach during a disorderly conduct arrest. They say the officer then cleared a jam in his gun before shooting Saray in the head. Nelson has not been arrested. His family wants to see that change. I don't know how he's going to be able to walk out that door because we get to testify. So the family members are signing up right now, and we're going to testify. Why people say that he should not be let out on Belle. A rally calling for justice for Jesse is happening right now outside the Kent Regional Justice Center. So I ask you, Given what you know about this particular case, Do you think he's getting preferential treatment? Yes. And I think it goes back to the history of it all. I don't think he just started just now. Ursula. I think it had it has been the history. Officer. Nelson has been involved in at least 65 use of force incidents and has committed listening if he has committed. Three of the five officer involved shootings in the entire police department since 2011 2011 This This man man clearly clearly has has some some type type of of issues. issues. He's He's now now killed killed three three in in this short period of time. So yes, but Hi. I'm also I talk about this all the time. I am encouraged about tomorrow when we could. I could sit here all day Ursula and talk about the past and how it's been. I think there is a new day. And I think, Maura, um or we're going to see bad police officers having to take Accountability and responsibility for their poor action. Well, this is the first time that a police officer in our state has been charged with murder and assault since voters passed initiative 9 40. So this is the only This is only the third time in 40 years that an officer has been charged for killing someone in the line of duty in Washington, and just a little more background on this particular officer. The city of Auburn already paid out more than a million dollars to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a guy who was shot and killed. On Then in 2011 Officer Nelson shot and killed another guy during a traffic stop. So those were things in this particular case that the reason why he's not being charged. Not only because they have lowered the burden for prosecutors to prove, but so, the prosecutor's office says. They brought in other experts and use of force. And they say in this case, officer Nelson was clearly dealing with someone either on drugs or who's having mental health issues, and he didn't call for backup. So that was one of the mistakes. The other one is that he did not use any other less lethal options or de escalation techniques. Not so That was another thing. So there were things that he did. And then you know, he had stopped.
