Morning, Brian. How are you? - Good morning, Anne. I'm doing well. Thank you - for having me. No. - You know, there's so much going on right - now in the world. - What most concerns you? - Uh-huh. Oh. Like a topic. Right? Oh my. - I know. How many? Yeah. I mean, look. - At the top of the list, obviously, what - everyone's got at the front of their mind - right now is that in eighteen days, we - have a midterm election. And that is the - difference between, - putting the brakes on what president Trump's administration - has been able to accomplish - in the first, you know, eighteen, twenty months, - give or take, and then whether or not - you wanna go back to the four years - of nightmarish, - type decisions by the Democrats if they get - control of the house and or, - the United States Senate. So that's the number - one thing because, - worst case scenario, right, Democrats - run the table. They get control of the - house. They get control of the United States - Senate. - The house goes and controls the purse. Nothing - gets passed legislatively. They investigate and subpoena - blowing daylights out of the Trump administration, - and then they hold their, you know, their - faux hearings and all that kind of stuff - instead of actually working for the American people. - United States senate, - the Trump administration can't put in more conservative - and constitutional judges - or other personnel decisions as well as foreign - policy and confirming any any appointments that may - come up along the way. Although Trump can - tap into president Obama's mantra of I've got - a a pen and a phone and rule - by executive order for the last two years, - which we... We've seen before. So what do - you wanna do? Do you wanna, - rock the boat, hit the brakes, and go - back to - 9% inflation and Joe Biden type decisions like - the Democrats, or you wanna stay the course - and try to make some improvements on the - catastrophic damage the Democrats did for four years - before Trump came back? - Yeah. Well, that's a that's a a a - pretty important task - that a lot of people... - And you have said it, I I think, - more than anyone else that I've ever listened - to, Brian, - that people are busy in their own lives, - taking care of their families, their children, the - schooling, - education, what's happening in their own communities. - But you and I also know that the - only way - that - we get to make sure that our government - is working for us - and not for the warmth of collectivism, - which removes any - ember - of wanting to do better and, - excel at anything. - Yeah. Or or themselves. - Yeah. Yeah. - And and and look, at the end of - the day, that's... I just keep saying it - because people do get busy. And, you know, - I post something every year to remind people - that, you know, I don't like, early voting. - I don't like vote by mail. I like - voting on Election Day. I usually do it - at six in the morning or seven in - the morning first thing before I go to - work, but we have a different system here - in in The United States, especially in New - Jersey. - So my message to that is bank your - vote because - everyone is so busy. Things can happen. It's - happened to me where all of a sudden - I've got to go on a business trip - either the day or the day of election - day, and I can't get to the polls - or, you know, your children get sick or - you've got sporting events or, you know, the - weather is crap or whatever it may be. - You get stuck in traffic coming home from - work. All these things can play - a part, and that's why you you gotta - bank your vote. It's not a perfect system, - but a system we have. But we can't - change it unless we get, - you know, a sphere of influence by getting - Republicans elected, and it's not perfect. - It really isn't because, - again, there's a lot of people that go - into the mantra of being a Republican that - are not. You can do that with, certain - votes or certain policy reviews. Or now, as - everyone has learned, you can just dump, - meeting minutes or other policy decisions that have - been made into AI, and they can tell - you whether it aligns with Democrat or Republican - policies without actually having to do the research - so people can make their own decisions on - election day. But, again, it all comes down - to the fact that guess what? In eighteen - days, if the Democrats - get - control of United States House corruption, which unfortunately - is - very likely because three things that are working - against the Republicans are history. - History always favors the out of power party, - and in this case, it's the Democrats. - You have the feelings with regards to the - economy and the cost of goods and the - cost of services. Right? And then you've got - a war that has split the country down - the middle. Right? So you've got three things - against the Republicans that are likely to favor - the Democrats just on math alone, and it... - And where ...
