"Buckeyes on Saturday. We'll try to get this bad taste out of the mouth and play the Tulsa Golden Hurricane School that produced John Cooper. We'll hear more about that with Bill Conley's, uh, couple. No line in about, uh, coming up in a little more than an hour. 3 30 kickoff. If you're going to watch the game, it is on FS one. Our best Buckeye coverage. Pregame show starts at noon and we take you up to the kickoff. We will not have Roy Hall with us on Saturday, and we were just talking off of the air. It's because you have a prestigious honor. But you're gonna be in ST Louis. Four. Tell us about it, Uh, the J. C S and J. C organization That's a national organization and they nominate 10 young people. All right. Forgive me for saying young people young. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. Course of course, a younger than us to the criteria. Um, but they nominate 10 people from around the country, just different organizations in different states. And, um, actually, me and former Ohio State defensive back Antonio Smith, who's Also a co founder of Our Driven Foundation were both nominated. And and we're one of the top 10 outstanding young Americans for the J. C. So we get to travel to ST Louis, and, uh, the game on the road. Yeah, but you didn't hear about my word. I got the rigor Mortis Award was going to say you're a top four individual within this room, too. So that's Yeah. That is awesome about. We're proud of you. And you and Antonio done just amazing things with the dripping Foundation. No, I appreciate it, brother. That's very great Honor, man, you know. The guy behind the glory man. It's been awesome. That is, that is very good Relations Royal be away from a Saturday but Tunas in again noon for the pregame and then we're back after the game as well. I want to ask you guys and Um, you know, no matter. I mean, Tulsa's at 25. Whatever point underdog week. We know Ohio State should roll them whether they won or lost last week. We did. This was a throwaway game. So is Akron. I mean, obviously, I shouldn't say throw away game because there's things you can do to get better. But we know barring something unforeseen, like, you know, Florida state losing the Jacksonville State that Ohio State is going to be in good shape. You come off of the game like last week. You have to prepare for Tulsa. You can't just not look at their film and understand what they're going to do. Otherwise, you can Jacksonville state think had happened to you. So you have to do that. But I'm wondering Bill from a coaching standpoint, how much of this week is about that? Hey, we've got to look at film. We got to be ready for Tulsa and how much of it is especially on the defensive side of the ball. Man, This is about us. We just have to get better. We have to know what we're doing. We can't get out schemed. We can't, you know, lose our responsibilities on defense. How does that break down from a coaching standpoint when you're working with kids getting ready for a game after a game like last week? Well, first of all, all the negatives have to be put away come Sunday night. Because now you're working on the other team, and the only way you can heal up from a loss like that is to play to a high level the next week, So what coaches do when you have situations like this occur. You go back to the basics. Your first day of practice. Go back to your blocking and tackling, you know, And you've got to cover the myth of the, uh, the part of no. Mr Simon's all those things, but you want to come out the next Game and be as almost as perfect as you can be, and also you want to play more physical because we got out physical. You can't say that much at Ohio State, but They played more physical football, and we did, too. So we got to get back to basics and play fundamentally better and play physical. And I think that was the biggest surprise to me that you took a Pac 12 team that came here on the road. They had five people missing from that starting line up, including the defensive. You know, genius over there K Beyond Thibodeau, who was going to be the number one pick in the draft, not playing. They lose Justin or flow there Linebacker. He's out for an undetermined amount of time. We just found out. Uh, so I mean, they had Um, a big hill to climb yet they came out there and I give them and their coaches a lot of credit because they smacked us in the mouth and we didn't hit him back. Um, now, having said that we had a couple opportunities down the stretch to be able to, you know, take this game into overtime or be able to steal a win out of this thing, But we did not play well enough to be able to deserve a victory on Saturday. What was interesting about, uh and this week about the Tulsa game? The biggest news this week. Outside of coach Days. Press conference was the fact that the Akron game is a 7 30 like we everybody else, just like completely overlooked the Tosa game like man. You know Akron was 7 30 Prime time game. We got a game this week. Everybody forgot about Tulsa. Yeah, you could have a Jacksonville State situation, but not in here. You know, at Ohio State. I mean, that just doesn't happen. He shouldn't happen here. Um, We got to come ready to play, but you gotta focus. This is one of those games that we used to look forward to. We know who we're playing. You respect your opponent. But you know that you can go out there and put up some numbers and really show. What you can really do is an office in the distance units Stat game. It's a stat game and it is. It's a confidence game because who you will see now is a lot like we already got young guys playing offensive defense. But you're going to see a lot of young guys with the potential to get the plan time and get what they can do. And so a lot of these guys that are struggling on defense if they don't Do what they're supposed to do. First quarter first half, you're gonna see a lot of new faces out there like man. We need to get some guys out there. That's going to be disciplined enough to do what we're coaching them to do. This was the kind of game remember Stan Jackson when he was with us used to say in these kind of games when he was a backup would say to Bobby Hoying. Get your yards in the first half. I want to play like if you're if you're Kyle McCord or whatever, like you want to get out. You're itching for a chance to show what you can do. So you hope Roy, This is a game that those guys that haven't had a chance. The first two games that are really, really good. Get a chance to get on the field. You want to see him, but that's one of the main We all fear. We were talking about just how they're going about. The defensive play calling. This is one of those games where you allow that guy carry coach Caricom's go Call your place. Be the defensive coordinator that I know that you can be and do it against Tulsa, Get your confidence bag, get the confidence back into guys. And so this is an opportunity to show. Not only are my first team guys able to go out and execute defensively, so can the guys that are coming off the bench and so they want to make a name for themselves. But this is the game where everyone can get their confidence back and get that bad taste out of your mouth. Well, one thing you know that Tulsa is going to do. They're going to try to run the football. They rushed the ball pretty good, almost 200 yards a game. And everybody thinks that Tulse because it has some great wide receivers in their history of school. We'll talk about some of those there. But the thing is they have film of A team running the ball right down our throat and run it to the outside and not stopping it. So that's the best both worlds. They're telling their players. If we can run and keep the clock going, they might have great athletes mean Ohio State. But if we can we can be in the game. Yep, They got to pretty good running backs. Um, but they are maybe one of the few teams in America with the exception of Navy that has gone to games already and has not thrown a touchdown pass. Yeah, So if you give up a touchdown pass against the team that is yet to throw one against U C. Davis and Oklahoma State going to be pretty hard to defend that.

I don't like that was the first person at your birthday party. And i tried to. I tried so hard. I was like late to my birthday party. I'll be thirty then like bitch. Walking through the door only came because my sister was there as she took a video. I was like put me on. Facetime that flip the camera around as so. She took a video. It was people. Like damn up people. There i to go put shoes on. Okay let me get over there. god yes. I'm very early. And so to that. Same point when i was working for the telemarketing company that i my heart wanted to believe that just wanted to have people take healthy. Shits like take a shit. They wanted to reach the septic tank in like a reasonable amount of time. That's what i was told okay. And i believed in the goodness of that product and i wanted to get up on that board and do you know it was it was jessica belongs on a board on billboards. She belongs on the board of the academy's and a long name like my name should take up as much space on the morning as possible. Everything she blogs all the boards. Thank you and then. And then i did also get scammed in highschool. Do you remember that. Like fake modeling agency barbas on. Oh my god just painted every moss scam that there were yeah.

No sure it hearts wanna believe everybody's beautiful y'all deserve loved editor but in reality everyone. Everyone can not be a model though that defeats the purpose of models. Right like there has to be normal people and there has to be models so then them telling everybody all of you can be models that should have set off my list. We want everybody's money okay. Exactly exactly these days. Everybody can't be models. And you know what what you're saying was true for that. But what i love that's happening now is like you're seeing disabled models. Oh my full figuring lose. You're seeing middle people not well. What's cool about social media is to your point. It's like democratizing it. You don't need somebody else to tell you you can be a model or you are beautiful. You can kind of control your own image and paint your own story and your narrative but in a background clothes and most of america don't look like can i see them to be itunes aside six or eight like listen by a time.

I don't want to believe it's too good to be true. It's going to be hard for me to get on board But i think it's also just because i am very cautious like i don't. I don't want anything bad to happen to me. So i'm i'm very avoided i'm risk-averse.

Spg shares are up more than one hundred percent in a year flat over the last month. Melissa all right courtney thank you Let's try this one caring. They did raise their full year. Guidance of that you gotta wonder if second quarter levels are He exactly because there's pent up. Demand people wanted to go out. We'll continue going to the back half right. I think we'll we'll see if this is sort of transitory traffic but some of these leases that they're signing up i think will what those will be for some amount of time right they had the occupancy was better than projected in addition their expenses were lower so those are two good things to have going. You know nice yield i. I'm concerned about that as well so i don't know that they've done a great job. They were able to cut the price on that. Talbot deal right. Hopefully those will be good for them. But it's not for me. He can't not love malls. And then you go to mall every chance you get. But you're not like the average person might not always i mean prior to the pandemic was the death of the malls and now walls are seeing a renaissance if you will because people are emerging from their cocoons right. So how long right. How long is that going to be as you mentioned. I like malls when i tend to walk around balls for a little bit of exercise out there and They're definitely busier than they were. But i share care. Karen's concern that. Is this as good as it gets. I mean the stock is up one hundred percent from the november lows. This is you know we've had the reopening we know that People savings are declining We saw what happened with amazon. Their earnings weren't as great. Maybe have been going to some malls.

It's difficult directorial feet to pull off their. Yeah it says definitely a lot of darkness to the foam. And i think he can kind of make the argument that with these sisters. They're not twins exactly but there's very similar in age but they have quite different temperaments. One is very fiery and very erratic very passionate and the other one is a little bit more introverted and kind of sensible and they bring different energies out in each other.

"So there's too many things in the way. I don't think it's going to happen, but I'm on the minority. When it comes to that. You'll talk to Elliot treatment, and now it will probably tell you, uh, it's uh, it's imminent. That is Jack Eichel. Trade is happening. So, um, I don't have any information. These guys have most of the information, but I just don't see it happening. But for Kevin Adams I think he's got to look at trading players. He's got to look at what will get them the best value. He's got to be able to get prospects. He's got to be able to get NHL players that will make a difference. And you look at some Brian Art and wrath Mistress Elena that probably two of the players that can get you the best return. So that's where you're spending your time. Right now. You got the coach. I searched on you Pick your head coach. Now you've got to work on the trades and seeing if there's value in any of your players that you may be looking to trade. Um, I I read something somewhere that Disables have not talked to Owen Power yet. Why? Because they're so that number one. They don't need to go in and do a deep interview process to see what they're going to do at number one. They have to figure out what else can they do now before expansion draft before the draft? To be able to maximize the value of something that they would be in the works with great, so that's what I think is the next step on the agenda for Kevin Adams, speaking of that number one draft, it is kind of interesting because You know, with Owen Power and Matthew Veneers. They're arguably the one to write at the top of the draft. Do you see this Anyway? The sabers don't take Owen power and maybe take Matthew veneers. What are your thoughts and How they approach that number one pick. No, I don't think there's any in my opinion after talking to many experts and people that do their draft list, and I've seen those players play at the under 18 or at Michigan or whatnot. I think it's all in power number one. Listen, He's not in my opinion. He's not going to be playing for the Sabres next year. So this is not where you have to draft a guy and bring him into your lineup, and I think long term I really like a big, strong, steady defenseman like Owen Power. You have Rasmus selling that is more your punk moving up the ice defenseman. You have a young Henry? Okay? Are you you have will Borgen that is more of a state on physical. You've got a great you know great bones on the back end right now and adding an Owen power with Would solidify that probably for the next 78 years. Right, So it's not about next season. It's about the long the long game, but I really believe Olin powers, the guy that, uh Had that the Sabres would would be benefiting and picking this year at number one overall. And then if you can make an icicle trade or Reinhardt trade or what, not, and you can get another top 10 pick And then you can look at. Maybe you know mad veneers, although people think he's going to go second overall, but there's a lot of other good talent in the top 10, and that's going to be interesting to see what the Sabres would do with that. Corey and I were having this discussion. Marty just before we had gone to break and gotten to you about the potential of Erasmus risked a line and move and just And also the idea of how they approach that position going forward with the expansion draft. I mean, with one year left on his deal at $5.4 Million, and I think a lot of teams know exactly what Rasmus risk the line and brings to the table. How do they? How do they approach him going into the offseason? Where He's openly said for three straight years now, either the fact that I know that change is coming. I'm likely one of the first people out, and he also said this year he's not open for a for a rebuild here in Buffalo, and he needs to get to the playoffs. How do they approach recipes first line in for a third straight year? Well, I mean, if you look at the expansion draft, right, So you've got one or two more defenseman that you would like to keep, but you can only protect three. I am. So does that leave Rice, Mr. Misaligned and open. I would think not. The problem is if you leave risk to open you're not getting anything in return that the only thing you're getting is the cap space that you're saving. Over $5 million, But I do believe that as Mr Simon can get you a decent returns. So you've got to look to trade if your idea was to say we we want to keep Darlene want to keep your key. Okay? Are you We want to protect Morgan? Those are the guys you think to protect to build for the future that leaves restore on the out. I would think that should be looking at a trade instead of losing him and not get anything in return. So that's the number one thing. The thing with Risto as I believe he's strong. He can skate. He can be physical. Um, he's got a good shot. He can be. You know, he creates some offense. I just don't think he gets the game and the systems and how to defend, um, like he should. I mean, this is not a first or second year defenseman in the National Hockey League? And say, Ho, you'll learn, you'll learn they'll learn By this point. You would think that some of the mistakes and coverage and some of that at times where he gets lost in the defensive zone should should be remedied. It shouldn't happen anymore. Now some people are going to say Yeah, but he's had six coaches. I mean, it's hard for him to be able to to gather like what he's supposed to do, but at the same time something When you get caught in your loss in your zone, you usually revert to your internal instincts. I don't think that is defensive instincts are good at all. So I would I would definitely move on from Bristol and I would build with. Like I said, Darling, you're here. Are you Samuelsson? Bargain? Owen power if you pick him first. That's what I would be building with. On the back end. Marty Baron joining us here in the Western hotline.

"Showers and thunderstorms. Bit cooler. A high of 77 degrees. Welcome back to news hour to India now where police have registered a case against Twitter and several journalists over what they say is a misleading viral video. This is the first such case against the tech firm after new digital rules came into effect at the end of May. The government says the rules are designed to fight misinformation, but critics argue they undermine the right to privacy and freedom of speech. Patty Twig from BBC monitoring reports publishing fake news meant to spread hate and cause the mural. Just days ago, Indian police registered the case against Twitter and prominent journalists for allegedly trying to spark communal tensions. They are accused of falsely insinuating that the Muslim man was beaten by Hindu man by sharing a video clip of the alleged incident. This is the latest escalation in an increasingly tense standoff between the government and social media firms has announced new rules to regulate digital content feature. In February, the government introduced new guidelines to regulate content on social media and streaming platforms. The rules require that platforms appoint the grievance officer empowered to remove content and they are able to trace the originator of a post and here comes the problem for an app like WhatsApp. Mr. Chowdhury is the founder of the Software Freedom Law Center in India. WhatsApp has said that that cannot be done without breaking the sacrosanct expectation that my message can only be read by the recipient. I'm sending it to So that's a major concern. The Facebook owned APP is now suing the Indian government over the threat to privacy that it says would enable mass surveillance. The government says WhatsApp users have nothing to fear, and it's only interested in identifying the originators of content that has undesirable social impact, like violence, terrorism, all sexual exploitation of Children. It's a soft touch oversight, they say. But others disagree. They're meant essentially to end dissent. Journalist aka Patel, also an amnesty International activists, speaks from experience former amnesty India and our carpet tales Twitter account. Last year he was arrested over tweets about Prime Minister Modi's background. You've got journalists in jail right now who have been charged with acts so for dinner with absolutely no evidence. This is quite normal actually in Mr Modi's India, India's clipped of 142nd spot in the 2021 Reporters without Borders. World Press Freedom Index. The country's minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad had this to say the government welcomes Criticism and the right to dissent. It is very important. The social media users running into cross Should also be given a proper forum. For resolution of their grievances against the abuse and misuse of social media perceptions that the government is trying to sense. The social media have prompted fears that India is moving towards having a tightly controlled digital space. Journalists occur Patel again Already We have local companies setting up alternatives to the social media giant's exactly as they have in China that we might actually believe the world so to speak, and become inward looking space in the way that China has become. And that last voice was a car Patel, ending that report by the BBC's Chrissy Twig. Listening to news from the BBC. I'm Rosie Iqbal, Hong Kong now and the future of a tabloid newspaper, The Apple Daily, a trenchant critic of China's leaders. Now hangs in the balance. The owner Jimmy Lai, is in jail and last week senior editors were arrested in a police raid involving 500 police. There have been rumors that the newspaper would be closed before the Centenary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party next month. Mark Simon, an advisor to Jimmy Lai says the paper will be closed in two or three days after its assets were frozen under a wide ranging national security law, Mr Simon told the BBC Apple Daily couldn't access its bank accounts to pay its staff. The government has frozen the access to the bank accounts. They've frozen any interaction with the bank accounts and they and they have informed Hong Kong banks not to deal with Apple daily. So basically the situation is the company is unable to operate its bank accounts, and that's basically that's as bad as it gets. It's uncharted waters for Hong Kong. After that, if you basically have the largest pro democracy voice out, we don't know what that means. In terms of its not going to be good. I can tell you that. Mark Simon. I've been speaking to the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, Tara Joseph, the Chamber of Commerce has around 600 companies who are members 30%. International, well $2.3 million in the context of the money that flows and is put into accounts in Hong Kong. Is not a huge amount of money, but I don't think that's really the point of what you're asking. Really. There is no question that Hong Kong is that an inflection point and adjusting to what is a rapid change and really a new normal here. The Apple Daily situation is a visible version of what can happen when a company is seen breaching what China now views. As national security in Hong Kong. And in your view, given that you regard it as an inflection point. What do you think, are the potential implications for foreign companies in Hong Kong? I think one of the issues now is that the national security law is seen as ambiguous. It's hard to know where it can move and whether it could really target a lot of different people. There's also the issue of foreign influence, which can worry people as well. But one also has to ask the question of whether this has happened to Apple daily because it's a media company and has been very outspoken and people who work in other sectors such as financial services or law may not experience some of the same. Issues. I wonder, though, even though you talk about the national security law being ambiguous, I wonder how you would characterize the mood amongst your members, given that there is ambiguity in the law, but also given that the allegations of colluding with a foreign country can be interpreted in all kinds of ways by the authorities. This is true, but there are different moods among the membership in our recent survey, we saw that 58% of our membership has no plans to leave Hong Kong that said, 42% of our membership are thinking about going and the majority within 2 to 3 years. That's a pretty big change for Hong Kong and again. This is because we are at an inflection point for many businesses and business executives who live and work in Hong Kong. Many of them have experience living and working in China as well. They may be used to driving in a certain lane and speaking about certain things. Others may not be. Others may have lived in Hong Kong for a very long time, which has been a different type of place from mainland China. So it really does come down to an.

And you know the music, and some of the other stuff is a little dated, but brilliantly funny, I would say. You also probably know Charles going from same time next year, he was on Broadway movies like The Heartbreak Kid Midnight Run. That was another favorite huge.

He also his own talk show for a time the Charles grown shows on CNBC in the nineties. Honestly, one of the most enjoyable I'd like. I love that show because he had really interesting guests, and he asked questions. That weren't your typical Questions like no one likes being. You know, he was an offbeat guy. Um, you know, he also made 36 appearances on the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. And more than 40 on David Letterman's NBC and CBS shows combined, and he was always, you know, coming up against him. I mean, it was he was curmudgeonly, but He played it so well that people thought He was serious about this. And Johnny and David Letterman played it the exact same way you thought there was a few. Do you thought there was an argument? You thought there was a fight between him and that's the best part of any great comedic actor is the cell If they cannot sell you on what they're doing, I don't care if the character is The straight man not moving his face, not saying anything.

He was in Hey, was an obstetrician in the 1968 overhit Rosemary's baby. Oh, yeah. You gotta go back and look at that he's in that might have to pause a few times in 1976.

He run a writing Emmy for 1977 Paul Simon. Television special sharing it with Mr Simon and some other writers, But that's so Pretty cool.

"Life scroll to the bottom of the page. And give us your thoughts. And now back to more life matters with Brian Johnston. Welcome back. I told you we'd come back and explain the law firm of Simon shared in Murphy Thornton and Med Wien. Where I got to cut my teeth in the world of law that was an entertainment law firm in Los Angeles. I wrote there as a kid, You got a lot of exposure to have the law really works. As I mentioned. I am not a bar attorney. I don't practice law, but I've been immersed in the law and around it for a long time. There's other aspects and other things that happened, But that was my real exposure. To the law when I was a young man, Simon shared and Murphy Thornton and men Wien Mr Simon had been the FBI agent in charge in Los Angeles. And when Ephraim Zimbalist want to do a TV show on the FBI He hired Bill Simon to be the adviser on the FBI story. That's a TV show from the sixties. Some of you may remember it the FBI story after that, William G. Simon decided he going to entertainment law and this is rather substantial law firm. I was honored to be part of this firm. Many the clients were very well known stars both of the old era and then into the sixties and seventies, I met Jimmy Durante. Red Skelton. I would bring their paperwork to them for signature. There's quite a few stars that maybe you may not know them if you're younger person, but Mickey Rooney, I think Mickey Rooney is one of the most extraordinary he is Hollywood. If you know his real story. He was involved in Hollywood at the very beginning of the talkies, and he lived a long life. I actually met him later in life as well. But this law firm was important. As I said it was founded by one of the founding agents of the FBI. Years later in my right to life work in Sacramento, one of our key volunteers. Was a gentleman by the name of Richard White and Richard White volunteered for the California Pro Life Council and the national Right to Life Committee in our offices he wanted to be involved. He had been special agent in charge of the FBI in Sacramento. He was a true gentleman. Now. The reason that I mentioned that right now is it was with great sadness. I personally saw the changes that came to the FBI. In the years around the Trump administration. Many of you know that there was clear lying and misrepresentation and some very bad actors using their office of the FBI. Federal Bureau of Investigation was an important entity because up until its founding, it was the states that had to deal with criminals. The FBI allowed the federal government to deal with the interstate criminality that was going on in the twenties and thirties. But they were sworn to Fidelity bravery and integrity. And that's important because without those oaths and we spoken before on this program about the need for police officers, those with the ability to kill Have strong oaths to have strong guidelines, and it's tied to the same with doctors. Doctors have the ability they understand the human body. The Hippocratic oath absolutely essential for that profession because you can kill easily. So I was particularly a personal note. I was particularly offended by what happened to the FBI, because if the FBI does not have moral integrity and legal integrity Then it's essentially a secret police. As you know, the KGB or the Gestapo. Are the Stasi, a secret police that can do whatever it wants. And if these agents don't have the restrictions and commitment and the legal binding limitations, then it's a very scary organization. I love the feeling because of my experience with William G. Simon. And Richard White, two Very special man and have now passed So anyway, Some have asked about my background that got me going in the law and then in entertainment law and intellectual property, But we die aggress because we're gonna talk about Roe v. Wade. And why Roe v. Wade is an issue in the whole right to life debate. If you've been around this at all. You know that? That's really the beginning of this larger debate about the right to life. They really founded a movement when Justice Blackmun handed down that decision, or it was celebrated by the media. They actually spawned the right to life movement because every state up until 1973 every state had laws that somewhere along the line protected that child's life. Most states starting it conception but a handful California, Massachusetts, Colorado, New York, Those four had more liberal laws regarding abortion, but they themselves. In those liberal eyes day, it said After a certain point you can't kill that baby. That perhaps when they're younger, perhaps if there's that standard litany you've heard it. What about rape? What about incest? What about the life of the mother? What about severe fetal deformity? Whatever That means. Well, why don't we legalize it for that, and those four states had done so? But then, they said after 20 weeks In New York or 25 Weeks. Massachusetts That's clearly a human baby. They can't kill a baby until Roe versus Wade and Doe v. Bolton January 22nd 1973. And the Supreme Court struck down all of those state laws. That's hugely significant because now a baby in the womb Could be freely killed. If you haven't heard our program before. If this is the first time you've heard life manners, we've talked about Roe and its details, and I'm going to spend a little time talking about Rome. But as I said, you can't fully understand row unless you understand its companion decision. Doe v. Bolton. The RA literally conjoined twins is how I like to put it there Evil twins and their birthday is January 22nd of 1973, their companion decisions that together struck down all of the laws protecting babies in the womb. In United States of America, and the repercussions have been great. We're going to talk about rolling a little more detail when I get back, But again, I want to remind you my book, the evil twins, Roe and Doe how the Supreme Court unleashed medical killing.

If I find out that someone's thinks that African Americans are subhuman Not worthy of the air that we breathe, whether or not they acted on that. That is not the mindset that we wanted the police officers right because policing is for people that I understand that every human being that we come in contact with has the same equal down. Sounds like they're certain phrases that would that would pique your interest and would set off questions, if not a formal investigation. Yeah, I think that's the same for any person.

If I find out that someone's thinks that African Americans are subhuman Not worthy of the air that we breathe, whether or not they've acted on that. That is not the mindset that we want is a police officer way because policing is for people that I understand that every human being that we come in contact with has the same equal down. Sounds like they're certain phrases that would that would pique your interest and would set off questions, if not a formal investigation. Yeah, I think that's the same for any prison. Well, we're looking at social media. This is kind of the problem that we have in our country in terms of domestic terrorism, right? Looking back in the last 10 15 years there. There are a lot of extremists They don't know. Speak Arabic money on my boy and raised here that happened to be Caucasian. Happen to be American.

"Final segment. Question and answer. Are you ready? I'm ready. OK, Here we go. Let's make sure that we're all set. And the first question comes from Mount Prospect and is in mount Prospect and an A C. My husband and I were married for 25 years before we divorced. Sorry about that. He passed away this year. He was 68. She's also in that same age bracket. My question is, how is Social Security going to be affected? And will I still be entitled when you take a look at it to half of his Social Security, even though he passed away? Mm. That's a good question in and social Security, as we know is confusing. Yes, it is. Yep. Yep. And the rule is is that after your husband passes away You don't still get half of is ink Social Security income You're going to get to choose whose is higher. Yours are hiss and that's what you're going to get to live in. Okay. I mean, that's I mean, that's something that a lot of people didn't know. Great question coming from an in Mount prospect. Let's go next to Oak Park. Michael is there Curious. About the 4% rule. It's a 4% retirement rule. Is that number still accurate. If it is what type of mixed stocks and bonds and annuities would be appropriate to use with it, Break it down. My That's a great question, and there's a lot of talk and articles that you can read. And some people think that the 4% rules not valid anymore. You should be really only but drawing two or 3% to make your money last. And actually, If you're looking at the market for your money, you might be making a mistake about stocks and bonds. Because the money that you need to live on you don't want to have to subject it to the whims of the market. You see when you're young, and you're accumulating money. You don't care what years the market goes up and down. You care what the end result is because you're not taking money out that 4% 11. But if you need to take 4% out, and the market starts crashing, Actually, you're going to need to take out mortar than that 4% just to meet your goals, and your financial plan could just get wiped out. This is why you need a plan based on math and science. Not just what sounds good to see what you've got, where you wanna go and how you can position all those assets to achieve your retirement goals. It's an opportunity to get on the phone with a professional. Get that second opinion again. We were filling up the calendar for you, Steve. We're down to two spots left and we will give those away coming up. At the end of this final segment is we get to the end of question and answer, But having that plan, that's exactly you know why we're doing this show. It's It's giving people an opportunity to kick the tires. And if you if you're in a retirement plan, if if you have questions about fees do you even know what fees you're paying? These are all things that can be answered with a second opinion. And you may decide to go in a different direction. Next up. We've got Bernie Northside, Chicago. Here we go. Bernie is 64. He is still working good for him. He's making. Wow 130,000, Plus a bonus each year has no has no debt even better, Hey, doesn't currently own any property. He's about to inherit man. This guy a million dollars. Uh, let's see a million and a half. Excuse me s O. I'm sorry. He's gonna get half this month and he has a decent 401 k. I'm trying to read this question and get it correct. Where should he invest the inheritance and would real estate be a viable option again? He doesn't own any property, but he's about to inherit some cash. Maybe there's some tax advantages. What do you think? Well, great question, Bernie. And you know it's a hard question to answer on the radio because I need to dial into your situation. But let me just hit some of the pros and cons about what you're saying. You're making great money and you can create a plan that's going to create amazing amount of wealth. It depends on how you want to get there. And how much involvement you want to be in. I've been a landlord in Chicago and I know that when you're a landlord, you've got months where the tenants are, aren't there because they laughed. Or months where tenants don't pay cause they can't or months where there's ah, leak or the roof needs repair. There's all kinds of things that happen all the time in real estate, and you have to be prepared. To take care of the real estate or pay a manager to do so, which is going to reduce how much money you can make on the property. So before you decide that real estate is your option, I think you have to understand. Everything that's involved and understand what your alternatives are burning. I recommend that you or anybody that's thinking like you gets on my calendar so that we can review what the real different options are, how they would work out how much involvement it would take for you. From you to make that work and how you really want to live your retirement years. Just reminder. We only have two slots left coming up on the calendar this week for C. Schyman on that might be burning in Chicago in North Chicago, getting on there. But having you know that kind of inheritance coming in. He's thinking he's thinking about property. But obviously there could be other options, and that will be the discussion point. That's why you need to get on the calendar. That's why you need to have a plan. Schomburg is our next stop. Chad is there, Steve? And here's the question. I would like to invest money from my stock portfolio into something else. Specifically, Ah, good TTF, either in gold or Ex potentially technologies, you know, as they explore or possibly health care. I know that not all ETFs are created equal, so I wanted to get an opinion and obviously Mr Simon's opinion matters. Let's see what happens. I am already invested in some traditional stocks and index funds. But can he do some exploring here? Absolutely Chad and great question. And your question is, you know money has in my mind to different pockets, the money that safe that you can count on and the money that you're risking hoping to make more on what you're asking about right now is stocks, Bonds and E. T s. That's the money you're trying to make more on. And what we do with our clients is that we design a portfolio of E. T s. Designed to have less risk than the average portfolio but have higher return potential. There's so many E t s out there. How do you decide which one is right? I work with a lot of certified financial analysts to help me work through that crazy world and identify the mix of E T F stocks and bonds. They can help the portfolio..

"And rest easy. Well and have that plan. It's almost like okay. What? Where's my starting gate? I mean, it would be great if we're 25 years old And we're thinking I'm gonna think about retirement. I'm 25. A lot of people don't do that. So let's let's give him a starting gate. You know, Fifties maybe sixties. You've been saving that that timeframe on wind to have a plan obviously, earlier, the better, But when you get into fifties, I mean, that's when we're talking about. You really need to sit down and have that plan. Yeah, absolutely. The most dangerous times for retirement are the five or 10 years before you're gonna retire and the five or 10 years immediately after you retire, because during those years, you don't know what's going Happen. And if your money's in the market in the market crashes, all your goals could be wiped out. And you don't know where you're going to be so planning soon and planning properly is the solution. We talk a lot about maybe first things to do. Um, you know, we were gonna have an offer coming up at the end of this segment on opportunity to get on Steve Simon's calendar. He's a busy, busy guy, and he's certainly very good on helping with numbers, but really, you gotta schedule. You got a plan to get in to see Mr Simon. So we'll give you that opportunity coming up, but things you need to deal with almost immediately. Just peace of mind to kind of get you where you need to be. A lot of people don't think about it, but you've got dead out there. You do have that out there, and a lot of people have mortgage that. In fact, I have a great story more okay? And this is from a guy that called in on the show. And like a lot of us, do the Cove it. He lost his job last March. This isn't a guy that wants to be unemployed, but he got forced to be unemployed. And he hasn't been able to find a job since Now. He did a good job saving. He's got about $700,000 saved which, Yeah, he did a good job, and that can really help him make his life work out. And I wanted it to illustrate the difference between having a plan that's based on math and science or just flying by the seat of your pants. So he had a decent fly by the seat of your pants plan, where he would take some of that money, pay off his mortgage and put some of the money away for retirement and hopefully have enough money to last. And just maybe just, maybe be able to leave the kids money by the end of his life. That's the way most people plan you're not really sure if it's gonna work out, but it looks like it might. So what we did with him. What we do for all our callers is analyzed where they are today and where they want to go and Morgan what this guy could achieve with a good plan. Is nightingale a difference? Well, and you bring up a really good point. A lot of people are like, you know, in my man the right place. Do I have enough? Well, it's $700,000 you talk about a nice base. Now there are some with less on. There's still plenty of opportunity to plan protecting your assets with Steve Simon is the show you're tuned into, will say financial is the shingle that's out there. For for Mr Simon, and it's an opportunity coming up in this segment to get on his calendar and see where you are. And when I say get on the calendar, it's a no obligation phone call where you can talk about the ends and outs of what you have. Get a second opinion and and possibly work with Mr Simon. If it's a good fit for you, But talking about that income plan you had somebody call in and at $700,000. Steve. That's Azaz. A planner is someone that's getting ready to advise. You gotta feel pretty good about that number. Well, the number is great. And if you do everything right, it turns out great. But the way he was looking at life was he's going to take some of that money pay off his mortgage, so he's dead free. That's a good idea, And then he's going to go back to work because he has to have enough money to live until he starts turning Social Security on 34 years from now, Okay, but putting a plan together. I took a look at it, and I said to him, what if you didn't have to go back to work? But you had the ability to choose whether you went to work or not. Because you didn't really have to. Because you could have your money working for you. That sounds like a big boner. Has to have that opportunity just to have that option and just to talk about it. Think about the financial freedom that that creates when you don't have to go back to work, But you only go back to work if you want to. Well, and it comes down to just having a second opinion having someone else kind of take a look at what you have. And it's okay to ask questions because a lot of clients or a lot of potential clients that call in and talk to you, Steve, you know they have current situations where they're being advised. It's okay to ask questions. It's okay. Get that second opinion. You need a second opinion and most people, you know, what do we do? We don't want to think about money. So we procrastinate. We put our head in the sand, but procrastination is a decision itself. Because if you're not looking at what you can do to do better, you're sitting there may be treading water going backwards or you're just not planned for the eventualities that life can present itself. And is that how you wanna live your retirement years? Absolutely not. And we're talking about a situation where you're approaching a retirement age. We're using the story of someone that has come in to talk to Mr Simon about where he currently sits. And he is sitting with $700,000. And you come up with a plan a road map something to give you peace of mind. And we're also discussing you know things that you need to kind of get a hold up pretty early on when you're considering retirement And one of those things just getting health insurance getting a strategy. I know. Possibly maybe. You know, your client that came in to talk. Maybe hadn't considered that. Yeah. And that is an important thing. And the health insurance is an important part And the nice thing about the plan that we've created for this guy. Is that he is going to have plenty of money to fund whatever plan that he wants. You see, before he talked to us. He had a plan where he's gonna be kind of scrimping to make ends meet, and maybe not even leave his family money at the end of the day. By putting a plan together with math and science. Here's what it looks like. He's gonna have the income that he's gonna need for the rest of his life invented adjusted for inflation going forward, so he's going to know just like when he's working. He's got a paycheck now. Paycheck. ABS in you Pay your bills. If there's a little extra, you can invest that money. You can take.
True Mysteries of the Pacific Northwest
Day two and still counting
"Welcome to kiss. Miss mr simon. Your host kit crumb. I'm actually producing this podcast the day after the national election for the president and partly. Because i'm going to be talking about the electoral college right now. The vice president. Joe biden former vice president. Joe biden has two hundred and fifty three of the two hundred seventy electoral votes. He needs to become president. Donald trump has two hundred and fourteen of the two hundred seventy votes. He needs to become president in a presidential election. A landslide elections generally agreed to be one in which the winning candidate secures. At least three hundred. Seventy five or seventy percent of the five hundred thirty eight electoral votes in the electoral college on that note. I need to explain that. The reason the new president is sworn in until january is chiefly because the electoral votes aren't counted until the second monday december the rest of the time until january twentieth. The swearing of the new president is a matter of shifting information from one president to the other. But of course all of this begs the question. What's happening on november third. The general election in november is an indirect election in which voters cast ballots for slate of members of the electoral college. These electors then. Direct lee elect president and vice-president in essence you are voting for electors the number of electors in each state varies. The constitution gives each state a number of electoral votes equal to the number of representatives and senators. It has therefore every state has at least three electoral votes because the smallest dates how one representative and two senators. How does it work that. The candidate with the popular vote can lose. The election was look at the fictional stage of nominal volume population. Four hundred thousand okay. This a small state the majority of the voters gopher candidate a therefore all of nod knowles electors cast their votes for kennedy a those electoral votes. Go into as pot of electoral votes. That he's trying to fill up to the number of two seventy the first candidate to fill his spot with two hundred. Seventy electoral votes will become the next president of the united states. But it isn't quite that simple. There's a catch of sorts. Not all states award their electoral votes in the same way i. It's important remember that voters don't actually vote directly for the president. They choose electors to vote on their behalf. States or allotted a number of electors based on their population number of congressional districts. The larger states population the more electors is allocated for example. California is the most populous state. Thirty nine point. Five million residents also wholesome most electors at fifty five wyoming on the other hand is the least populous state with fewer than five hundred seventy nine thousand residents as such. It holds only three lack of states determine on their own how to distribute the electoral votes most days award all their electoral votes to the presidential candidate. Who wins the popular vote in that state and this is considered a winner. Take all system. This method of warding. Electoral votes is commonly known as winner-takes-all. So even if a presidential candidate wins fifty one percent of the popular vote in a winner. Take all state. He's awarded a hundred percent of the electoral votes. The exception to the rule is main and the of nebraska who distribute on a very different basis. Take longer to explain the desbois. Podcast has time so. I hope this has cleared up some information about electoral colleges and the fact that we vote indirectly for our presidential candidates. Now i'd like to take a minute to clear a couple myths first of all in the history of the united states. We have never known the winner of the presidential election on that. Electing day that would be november. Third it as always taken a few days to count up votes and i mentioned before that between al gore and george w bush that were thirty six days where they were trying to figure out who the winner was so. This is not unusual that this is the day after. We still don't know who the president is. Second second president. Donald trump is wanting to stop the county of votes. He's calling this voter fraud. And all of the votes that are being counted have to have been postmarked november third. This is not fraud. this is counting every american's vote or every american who voted so a couple things one. No we are really going to know who the president is for a day. Maybe two days after the national elections sometimes as long as thirty six days to were simply counting at every state. The votes came in postmarked on the election or the night of the election. which is november third. There is no fraud in this. i'm get chrome. Thanks for listening.
