This is Right About Now with Ryan Alford, a Radcast Network production. We are the number one business show on the planet with over 1 million downloads a month. Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. You ready to start snapping necks and caching checks? Well, it starts right about now. What's up guys? Welcome to Right About Now. It's our weekly business news of the week here on November 8th, 24th episode, 500. Yes, 500 times you've had to listen to us come and give you the news, give you opinions you want. Some of you don't, but we don't care. We're here to bring it. Join by Chris Hanson and Miami. What's up Chris? What's up brother? How are you? I'm excited today. Got lots of good news and you know lots of news. Yeah, so that's just like struggle for news. We got enough news for two hours today. We're going to condense it in in a hurry. Brianna, what's happening? Hey guys, here we are episode 500. Hey, it's lost to celebrate. I'm wearing my MAGA hat. I'm an independent. I've said that, but I did vote for Trump. And I don't think anything wrong was saying. Look, part of the reason the Democrats lost is because of all the people that think they're smarter than everyone else that make everyone feel like if they wear American, make America great hat that they're a Nazi Hitler racist whatever that you're smarter than all of us. Well, guess what? Guess who's smarter now? That's what I'm talking about. Trump is back in the office. The facade that was the other sides campaign, non-elected official, not a single vote before getting an altered, exalted, and put into place for this election. And we saw what happens. America's smarter than you think. Chris, what do you think of the election? I'm relieved that it's concluded. I'm also happy about the results of that. So I'm looking for brighter days, brother. As a businessman, it's always gives a lot of hope and optimism that you can kind of chase your dreams a little harder with him in office. It's just better for business. Yes, and I think that's... Look, we're going to flip this page pretty quick because I think, as we've said, no president's going to get in the way of those that are driven. That's the very thing about America, the opportunity. But damn, I felt like this is a little bit of a referendum of what's been happening in the last four years, not only with the economy and the prices and inflation and all that, but seemingly raising a lot of things that are minority. It's kind of like, why do we have to make... Why don't we make the majority feel good? And then we'll worry about the 1%. You know, it's like, I don't want to make the 1% not feel bad, but shit. Like, let's stop catering and cratering and make it everybody trying to feel good about shit the day normal. So just saying, and go ahead, Chris. Something else I forgot to mention that I think is also exciting and I'm a health and wellness guy, RFK being part of the administration, I think, is a win for America as a whole. And kind of what you said, like, our current health secretary is a man pretending to be a woman. Yeah. So, complete opposite of RFK, RFK is very knowledgeable on water supply, you know, food agriculture, basic health that we really need in this country, we really need to turn around and take a look at how we handle our health and wellness. He's also healthy. Exactly. Like, if you look at him, he's masculine. You can speak on a, I know you're, you speak on a, you speak better than me. I don't know, I think it'd be good to have a women's perspective. I love, I love RFK. I love the way that he speaks. I love the way that he presents himself. I love the way that he is relatively normal in normal and a little like color, you know, he has like a background about him that is like a little funky and weird and like cool and like, you know, he's like everybody's cool uncle that like is a little different but is really in that fitness and health and wellness like he's ripped like you can do pull ups like he eats well. He talks about fluoride. He talks about the vaccine schedule and the way that it's impacting our children, you know, and I, you know, my, I have two boys. One, why follow the schedule? Kind of delayed. My baby didn't follow the schedule. He's very delayed. He's healthy, you know, as can be. He's not getting any colds, hardly any sicknesses. He's been in daycare since he was born and he's gotten like two colds. And it's really interesting. He only has like one vaccine. He's very delayed. But, you know, I'm not anti vaccine. I'm just like, let's, let's really think about this and isn't necessary. It is on the current vaccine schedule for children to get three COVID shots. Is that necessary? And so I think that he just asked those, those questions that, you know, it's not a right or wrong or a black or white every time. But like, let's ask the questions. Let's figure out why is Kellogg's pumping our cereal for kids full of sugars and dyes. And why do we have record numbers of kids on ADHD medication and ADD medication? And I see every single day on my news feed mom saying, my kid's out of control. I can't, nothing's working. I can't control them. You know, it's like, well, what's going on in their environment? What are you feeding them? I think Trump ran a brilliant campaign and I agree everything you just said. He somehow, he was the old candidate, the ex president. Everything that could have been his brand in this campaign could have been painted old and not fresh. But what does he do? You know, because he's only so self absorbed. He's got to be the only one. No, he brings RFK Jr. on the stage. Does it limit him? Does it hold him back? Shares the stage with him, brings him on, puts him on his, his counsel. He brings Elon Musk, welcomes him in the fold. Another huge ego, huge persona welcomes him. You don't ever feel like he was like, hey, you're welcome here. But just don't forget I'm the big boss. No, he, he made it feel fresh, new energy. Like he felt like the fresh candidate, the fresh and had ideas and doing different things. And so he like, so it's brilliant and his solutions. It's like, look, the government's the worst run business in the world. So let's bring in some people that have some credibility, that have some energy behind them, that fresh ideas. Look, RFK Jr. isn't going to get every single bad meal out of every single kitchen, but he will have an impact. And even if it's 15% better, 15% better is better than status quo. And Elon Musk probably isn't going to make the federal government suddenly run perfectly. But how about some damn fresh ideas? Instead of bunch of 70-year-old politicians bickering about bullshit that doesn't matter. And the inside trading. Yeah. Yeah. And so brilliant. And there's so many examples that prove wrong. The storylines on Donald Trump, like self-absorbed all this. Okay, took a bullet to the head. Doesn't have to his billionaire stays in the race. Fight, fight, fight. Has no reason. What, what reason does he have? Yeah, okay, he wants his ego to deal with this bullshit for four more years. He can be played. The guy likes to play golf. He's a scratch golfer. He can be just playing. Look, he's 78 years old. He used to be playing golf and enjoy the rest of his life. If he was just so self-absorbed, that's what he'd do. He'd go win his club championship every other week. But so it's like, and then he's, you know, can't share this to no. You got all these big egos. He's walking with him. First idea is, you know, it was what needed to happen. An America proved to be smarter than the Democrats wanted to give him credit for. And not because it was Republican versus Democrat. But more that holding up a candidate that really had nothing like behind them. No such straight-up puppet candidate, right? Yeah, like you said, no votes. Everyone disliked her strongly in the primaries. And now, within the last six months, all of a sudden, not even six months, what, three months, all of a sudden? The digital textbooks of the future. And she will go down as the weakest candidate in history that only got where she was, purely held up by mass media and. It's a property. It needs to be a case study, a marketing case study. It'll be in the textbooks. Yeah. Well, it's really interesting, too, because, you know, Trump's win. And if you watched the election map last night, you know, how many states and counties were read versus blue, after everything the media threw at this guy, after every lawsuit, after every label, after every time they tried to take him down with bullets and otherwise. And that many people in America still felt strongly that he's the right choice. Yeah, more votes than he did in 16 and a wave. So yeah, I guess we're just all stupid, because that's what they thought we were anyway. Yeah, all those words. I'm very glad you had all my friends that, you know, think I'm racist because I wear a mega hat. You know, they think I'm suddenly stupid. You know, yeah. No, I just see through the bullshit. You're the one that's got the veil on. You know, it's like, give me a break. Donald Trump is not a perfect man. They're not a perfect man. You're going to read the Bible. Go read the Bible. I think I'm told to be about the hung truck. Very flawed. Just like me. So that's the biggest thing you said just like me. It's like who's the one at accusing all this? What's who are you? Yeah, he does have said I'm sure he's fucking regrets. So do I. And, you know, but I think he puts one foot in front of the other every day. And again, under the biggest trial and triple trip, you know, a bullet to the side of the head. I don't know what I've done. I might have to cry like a baby. I probably would have. I'd have been like on the behind one of the secret surveys. Accused yourself. Pretty big brave guy, but I don't know. I don't pretend to know how to act. I don't know, but I'm going to know how he acted. So, and I think that's what flipped Elon. Even Bezos, Elon and Zuckerberg and me is nothing, not one of them. But as a leader and like running companies, my fuck. Okay, this guy, no matter what you think, that was the moment for me. And I think it was for them too. And it should have been for a lot of other people. But here we are. It's very interesting to me on this side of a Trump election, post-COVID, post pandemic, after, you know, five, almost five years following the COVID thing. And when Trump was formerly president, and then we had the Biden administration and all of the things that they did. And now we're in this completely post-COVID world. People have completely forgotten about it, you know, so to speak. Just like they kind of like they sweep, they swept COVID under the rug. Like, oh, sorry, we made some mistakes. Just forget about that. Don't remember when Biden said you would die if you didn't get the vaccine. And you weren't welcome to participate in normal events. And then it's the same thing with the Trump attempted assassination. They just sweep it under as though it never happened. So it's not like a formative event. Yeah, very, like, yeah, presidents get shot. Ex presidents, current candidates, they can shot it all the time. No big deal. We still don't even know what fuck happened with that. They're like, but here's what's going on with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Yeah. It's like, oh, thank you. Yeah. And you know, we really do need to allow transgender sex changes in jail. Yeah, one thing people didn't forget was COVID taught everyone to question the media. I think that if we would have never went through that, this election may have been different. Yeah. I think people really, they know sort of questioning the news, doing their own research, people started talking. And Ron Lewis said, I think people voted with their wallets. Yes. In the day, man, like, at the end of the day, I think that was more than half of it. And then the rest of it became the pick your issue. What actually got to grind? Because they're giving you a lot. And they gave us so many. So and again, no one president is going to flip a switch and make every economic thing go away. But I got a lot more confidence that not only Trump will do it, he'll put some, he'll hire and fire someone until they do in his position. I think he learned a lot from that first time. I think he knows what he knows what to do and not do. I think he knows how to play the game a little bit more. He's had to be a politician a little bit more. But ultimately, he's exposed, he's exposed so much, right? Of the inner workings of the politicians and kind of pulled the veil off of the entire establishment, which he's always done. But I think now you have a very big understanding of a lot of people, especially even, you know, in Congress, right? You had Josh Hawley grilling the energy secretary on her stock trades. And she had lied into Congressional hearing about doing it. So when you have your everyday American struggling to buy eggs, and then you realize that the people you voted in are profiting off of insider trading on the laws they're creating, it tends to piss you off, right? Yeah, exactly. Is this the only president in history that's ever been elected twice known consecutively? Hoover, or someone, it might be Hoover. There's one of the parents of 18. You're ready for that one, huh? Burger Cleveland, 1892. Thank you, sorry. Is that the year? It says, yeah, he, yeah, uh, very close. He was president from 1885 to 1889 and 1893 to 1897. What year off? So clear. I know. I don't even know that. That's so weird. Okay, cool. Well, let's talk about that. Actually, I read that last night somewhere. I had to let y'all go on that for a little bit. Oh, man. I remember that you remembered it even from last year, that's true. I read a lot of numbers. This is last night. I've been through like 17 spreadsheets. So the fact that I even remember the year is, is over one day is pretty good. Yeah, this is one of those things working with Ryan. He like, he forgets that like, not everybody has a photographic memory. I do have that. But I, uh, I couldn't remember his name. I locked it on that year. I can see the 1892, like exactly like I read it last night. That's about it. And I will say this. We're staying powered here on the show set today. By our good sponsor. Exponent, energy drinks, x-marks of sponsor energy. I'm kind of giving them that type of bond. I don't know that it is necessarily. It's more the fact that, you know, it's got all the good stuff, not any of the bad stuff. But look, we're on the list, baby. New flavors come out. They didn't have labels yet. There's no labels. These are in the secret laboratory mixed up cans. I think they're the actual size of the cans, though. Yeah, without the labels on it. But two new flavors. Mango peach and strawberry lemon. We're all going to be tasting here. So you need to be watching this episode. If you're not, good time to plug the YouTube channel or Spotify. Either way, you can watch it. You get to see how shiny this belt is for number one show in business and marketing. And you can see us taste test these new exponent flavors. Sawyer and Brianna are going to have to help me taste these. Mango peach or strawberry lemon. Which one's getting you excited, Brianna? I'm a mango peach, girly. Smells exactly like you would think it would. I'm stoked. Oh, yeah. We got at least a little shot glasses. It's like, there we go. There we go. Pass one to Sawyer. This is the mango peach. Savannah's in here, but she does not have a mic. We're going to give her one as well. She can at least give us a thumbs up. All right, let's see here. All right. Chris, you're just going to have to virtually go with this here. Hang it on. I'm going to run for the mango peach. That's what we're starting with. All right. Everyone take a little sip. Under the palette. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? Okay. I'm a big wine guy. I'm like, so I had a flavor profile. Here's what I got with this mango peach for my exponent. So immediately the mango smell is you as you do it. The first hit is mango. I taste that first mango. But the aftertaste is like a peach on a summer day. Yep. You're following me on the down, on the way down. It's all, it's mango in the front. It's peach in the back. That's probably my new flavor. I'm a big blue. I love the green one. Sorry. Any feedback there? Yes. Get a reminds me of those peach ring candies. Oh, yes. Yes. Now we're talking. Now we're cooking with fire. All right. Now it's really quick here. Strawberry lemon. Okay. Lemon. Lemon. It's not strawberry lemonade. It's strawberry lemon. All right. Pass that back. Pass these back here. Top. Sorry. Keep everybody's germ separate. If you're listening, hopefully this is coming off as good audio. I don't know. If you're listening, you're going to need to grab an exponent. Wherever exponents are sold online, you can order them in bulk packaging. And we love hearing the office. Radical, right about now office. We enjoy a fridge stocked full of exponents. And that's how we keep the team hydrated. They've got adaptogens, neurotropics, no sugar. Healthy clean energy, baby. Yes. Strawberry lemon. We're going to give this a try. Mike and the team over it. Exponent, we appreciate them. And all the big things come up. We're going to be doing some really fun stuff with them. Let's me drink my water. Let's see some vodka. That's dangerous, Brianna. She's like, you can be crazy by a correct bull. Let me say this. I'm a millennial, you know. Better than Yeager Bob's. Here's what I like about this. I have, I look, I'm a connoisseur of energy. Everybody knows this. And like probably all those zero drinks in general. I've had a million strawberry lemonade, all that. It gets very serpy and very kind of old time lemonade, but you dumped in too many scoops real fast. You know what I'm talking about? You know as a kid, you like that. What I like about this is you get, it tastes like real strawberry, real lemon. Like it's an elevated flavor profile for me. It's natural. It's sweet enough. But it definitely tastes more natural. I like that one. It's challenging the blue for my favorite right now. I, everyone loves the blue. I would struggle with the strawberry lemonade one because I would drink it too quickly. Or like I would put down like six of them because they taste so good. I don't know why, but that flavor reminds me of pezz. The pezz. The strawberry lemon? Yeah, it just has that something about it. Interesting. And it's, it's really good. I agree with that one's a Brianna that I might want some vodka with it. But it's really good without it. I'm going to go back to the peach here because I kind of like thinking about peaches on a sunny day makes people happy. Definitely different and good friends at Expo that we appreciate them. Yeah, look, here's how it goes, people. I have a lot of vices. I have very few vices, but I drink a lot of energy drinks. We were phrased that. May have a lot of vices too. But generally none, other than lots of energy drinks. And this is, but this is why this is the perfect sponsor. Zero sugar, plant-powered, adaptogens, neutropics, electrolytes, amino acids. None of the bad stuff. All the good stuff. Go check them out. drinkexponent.com. I'm just going to be stupid on this peach while you're thinking about it at home. You're going to have to go get it. And these flavors aren't even out yet. Brewing super secret list. But I'm telling you, they're all good. Blue, green, orange. Go get them. Give them a shot. And I want to thank him. So yes. I did see stock market junk. Big time Bitcoin. Jump big time with Trump. Not surprise, especially Bitcoin. I think the stock market would jump a little, but the Bitcoin is probably, I wish you would have reminded me that, Chris. I would have bought some more yesterday. I would have definitely put some on Doge. Which is probably not too late. If anyone recalls the recordings, maybe two weeks ago, I believe I did say that. But you didn't take my credit card. You didn't take my credit card. Just let do it. I forgot. I should have said the account before you. Hopefully some people listen to it. Yeah, I broke all time high. It hit $75,359. Today it's at $74,717. So it's it broken you high and it's holding higher. What's the, what is the limit for Bitcoin? Like it's so high now. You know, some of these, I'm usually looking to get the smaller coins, the dollar, two dollar ones. They're like, oh, it's going to be three dollars. What's Bitcoin's outlook for like five years? Like what you asked. I also want to tell the all-time low for Bitcoin. Yep. It was $67.81. Yes, that's what I bought for July 5th, 2013. So you're not bought it. You're here 11 years later. Right? Yeah. And it's $75,000. Yep. Prognosis five years. Like where is it, Cap? I say, I think end of end of 25, it'll hit 120, 120,000 per Bitcoin. I don't know. And then it'll probably settle again, say, around $100,000. My rudinary math tells me that's an 80% jump. And I don't know of any stocks that are going to be doing that definitively. I'm looking at an article from investor.com where there's a forecaster predicting Bitcoin could hit 200,000 in 2025. So that's where it goes. $7,000 and people, you can go on Coinbase or crypto.com. These are 0.001. You can buy 0.001 of the Bitcoin for $20. You don't need $75,000 to buy Bitcoin. Some people just like a stock. Don't do that math. Yeah. They don't realize you could buy the percentage of the stock or the bond or the coin. So that you could take advantage of the likely jump at the same percentage. You can put 50 grand in, not even on one, that could turn into 150 grand if it's 3Xs, right? Correct. I mean, I'm not math wizard, but I even I can do that math. So, yeah. Bitcoin. I'm a gambling man either. We already said the stop betting on college football and start betting on stocks and Bitcoin. And or other coins, digital coins. Those coins got to go somewhere. You know, you got all the, you got president coming in office as its pro coins. You have Elon Musk on the team. Those coins has to go up, right? Those coins actually went up the largest last night. Kind of when it was looking like Trump was going to win everything really started moving up. Dogecoin jumped the most. Today a bounce back out. I mean, it's up to 3%. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, dogecoin is like a brand. You have got Elon is the head of it. You know, and then you have millions of people that are Elon fans or they're fans of the Dogecoin and the project. It's a community. They've built an whole ecosystem. So it's not going to go anywhere. I've realized for your average people, I don't know this because I didn't know this. And I just thought of this at all these big crypto conferences and these Bitcoin conferences. It's like a sports team. You have guys that are, this is their team. This is what they're doges. They're people. They're life or fans for it. So it's, it's not something that just going to go up and go down. There's real communities and real money and real people invested in these things for more than just the money part. Yeah. I think, you know, so what are the impacts of Trump? I think for business, sentiment is really important in this country. And I get that there's, I don't know how many million people disappointed today on the other side or all, and all that. But when you have a business centric president coming into office and we need business to take off, we need sentiment to grow. And we need for there to be energy and positive momentum. And I think that that will carry the day along with some policies that will stimulate further business. And look, America's always the greatest country in the world. We're not like, it has not been a wonderful ride the last five years. But, you know, with the COVID included to that and sort of, and then the current inflation issues and all those sorts of things, there's still been opportunity. But I think you're going to see an unlocking of further stimulation that happens when people that are motivated and driven at the highest levels in the American spirit really gets unleashed. And I think it's why we're going to have a segment moving forward and we're going to talk about the American dream with our good sponsor independent center. So we're going to be talking about what the American dream is, what that looks like, how it's being attained, what it means, I've done some man on the street stuff, interviews that we're going to share. This is all through the lens and brought to you by our good sponsor, independent center, independent center.org. Go there, sign up for their newsletter, get all of their info. And we look forward to bringing that American dream to life through the lens of the American people and everything that we're doing. And talking about the real business outcomes that are happening on the ground. So excited about that. And yeah, episode 500, look, takes a lot to build this, you know, to do this. It takes, it's like everything is worth a shit, takes dedication and time and repetitiveness. I mean, you know, our team that works on this, we show up every week, we do it. And nothing comes easy. And I think, you know, we work with a lot of shows, we do a lot of things and everybody wants success overnight and it just doesn't work that way. You have to put one foot in front of the other every day. You have to do it when you don't want to do it. And we can't be more thankful for everyone that bothers to listen. You know, it doesn't exist without you. We don't have sponsors, but notice all this works. Because people choose to listen to the show, we get feedback. I get feedback constantly. People that come on the show, DMs and everything like that. And, you know, we're going to keep doing this. But I'm really thankful for the team that helps us put this together. And of course, everybody here. Chris, Brianna, Sawyer. Appreciate you guys. Any final words today here on episode 500? I said it on the first episode. I'm going to say it again. Mom's for MAGA, baby. There you go. Love it. God bless. Hey guys, you're going to find him. Exactly. You don't find us Ryan is right. Com is all make America great. We'll see you next time. We'll write about now.
