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. Hello, welcome to right about now. I'm Ryan Alfred your host. It is our weekly business news of the week. We're taking the BS out of business, baby. And I'm always joining my good friend, Chris Hansen. What's up brother? What's up, Ryan? How are you today, big dog? Hey, you know, I mean, last week was in the pulpit. I might be, you know, the minister of music today. I don't know, but we'll try to keep the preaching to a men alone, but you just never know where it's going to go. You know, the gloves are off. Let's just say that. You are from the south. Sometimes those southern boys like you know, that soapbox and preaching. I know exactly. I feel like I needed a cigar after last week's so, but you know, I feel like it's amazing though. When you sort of like, you know, you're trying to be transparent. It's like, I, you take the gloves off the amount of feedback we've gotten. It's been amazing. I appreciate that. But locally, like, I got some high fives of the lake this weekend. Like, it's, it's just funny. How many people kind of come to the silent majority, so to speak. And it's really not like a presidential, like a candidate or partisan. It really isn't. It's not like I'm like this closet mag a guy. It's more just the beliefs and the policies and the obvious craziness that's going on. And so those are off, baby. That's all I got to say. Let's do it. How's the week? It's been a great week. Like you, after last week, there's a lot of great feedback for the most part, right? Yeah. 90% positive. And from people, I probably would have not expected some of them. Yeah, which really just adds more fuel to my fire. So I got some real obvious. Like the other side. Yeah. And they know who they are. And by the way, they acted and reacted about things and tried to make it about certain principles that had nothing to do with why they were really reacting. And so several of those. And it proves the point. So that how I don't know, it's polarizing and I get it. But it's like, you know, we can't we can't have opposing views without reacting. And so it's fine. It's all good. I don't want any closet like haters or snakes in the grass. We're getting all the snakes out of the grass officially. In more ways than one. Yeah. You know, like we're reporting kerosene on that grass and lighten the fire. Get in the train or get off the train. You know, it's fine. But we don't have to agree. But don't be fucking behind my back. Talked shit. When you don't know the whole story. So I got to say. So we'll leave that there. What, uh, he craziness in Miami this week. That's an idea. Art shows festivals. No, no. Music scenes. Real quiet week this week. Yeah. I mean, unless you got to the beach, there's always a party. If you hit the night clubs, there's always some big DJ, David Ghetto or something like that. No, no big events. It's been quiet, rainy, hot. People are hiding. Yeah. And I'll say this. Like we're going to dive right in. Like the switches on baby. Like so Kamala Harris was this all going to come to business. We're getting right hard into the business here. But you just can't say without. She finished, I think universally last in the democratic primary or whatever it was. Like where everybody, you know, four years ago, three to half years ago, you had 10, 12, eight, whatever the total candidates are. She's kind of universally finished last on the democratic side. Non elected official. And she's like one heartbeat away from the presidency now, both in the short term and the long term as a non elected official. And I get that's the way it works. The vice president is always one heartbeat away. But there's some extended circumstances here. And it's like how we've been watching the decline of the president for the last 18 months, at least. We could question even three years ago, whether or not he, you know, was capable of holding the position. But we've watched it. We've watched it with our own eyes. As Kamala and everyone, the supports that side, defended it and said, there's nothing to see here. Nothing at all. So what is true? What's the incapable of running for a second term and declining? Or was he just fine? Like it was three months ago, when everybody said it was, which one? Or we aren't stupid. Like I just hope, like, right? I saw this weekend. They're already airing commercials, like, and they're all holding signs past the torch, Joe. And I'm like, man, they really got these commercials pumped out pretty quick. If this is just happening, like this is, yes. And it's all it's going to be a new day with Kamala. They say it's a new day. It's like all the rationale for while why people was saying Joe Biden, you know, it was too old, whatever. They're now using those same arguments, like saying, Oh, new day with Kamala. It's like same slogans. And but the fact of the point is you were either lying or you weren't. Were you lying four months ago, when you said there's nothing wrong with Joey's not declining, you know, he has the stutter. Remember, Joe's stuttered his whole life. That was it. He's always had that that little bit of, you know, stuttering. Sometimes when he's talking. It makes me wonder who's been running the country. Yeah. Like, you know, again, just remove the politics, remove whatever side it is. He's the current president. He's been in decline for a long time. You could see it. And then when it became so obvious in that debate that you could no longer defend it. They threw their, they threw them to the wolves, got to go. And they've been lying to us the whole time, hiding it, protecting him, doing all those things. And now we should trust them to run the government. Now we should elect her. I don't even talk about the other side. I mean, pretend it's the insert candidate here. This is purely about this side, about what I'm seeing, about the acting group that are running the country. You know, they've lied to us. It's been clear he's incapable of running the country. He hasn't been making the right decisions. He hasn't been leading. He's barely been showing up. What the fuck is happening? Like, you know, that's the big question. What the fuck is happening? Yeah. And now we raise a hundred billion dollars and, you know, seven hours and common was the greatest things. It's sliced bread. This same party that voted her last three years ago. Now I think she's the greatest things in sliced bread around the country. Which one is it? Did you think she was the worst candidate seven years ago, Democrats? That you now think is the best person to lead the country. Why is that? What, what is, what has she done in three and a half years to guide your confidence? Right. The way she handled the border, the way she's handled small businesses and inflation, whatever her impact is on those things. Because who were the leaders for the Democratic primaries back then who was a Peaboodie judge? Would you have new some? Yeah. Like you said, there was a million other names that were much more well known, more political record. Yes. And more liked. And now you're not hearing any of those names of those people. None. So she finishes last. Now she's going to be right, risen up to the first. Just because he picked her as vice president when he wasn't capable, then the fix is on baby. You can. This is a conspiracy plan. It's just like, it's like, yeah, it's all too perfectly. Yeah, planned. And so, and that's just that side. That's just doesn't make any sense. I'm like, again, I'm even talking about Donald Trump here. I'm just talking about what the hell is going on over here? Like, much less the fact that, you know, inflation continues to be the biggest hit on small business. 27% of small businesses complaining that's the no. And it's the number one 27% same inflation impacting business every day, driving wages higher, calls higher, everything. We still have the border issue that's bringing in illegal aliens that are fighting for jobs for, for, you know, Americans lowering their expectations, their calls, their, their, their life, because you have illegal aliens taking jobs that Americans should have, not to mention the killing thing. I'm going to keep this about business. And so, the comp has done a great thing. Great job with that. Right. She hasn't been there. Hasn't she, like, there was for some time. Yeah, what she's been once, I mean, it's like, so, you and I know, dude, you can't run a business and never be there. Now imagine my buddy, Grant Cardone was on Fox News last night. And I'm not a Fox News every like, it gets a little polarizing. It gets a little, my mind goes a little crazy. I like Fox News. You know, I respect all news outlets within reason, you know, they're doing a job. They're doing their best. But, there's red card home was on Fox News last night. And talking about the very fact, countless never made a budget. She's never run a business. She's never hired and fired employees. She doesn't understand what it takes to push them all business forward. Now, no, she has people around her that would and all those things. But like, do we need to run the country that knows and understands what it takes to run a business? Or do you want someone who's a career politician? Who has been somehow pushed to the front of the party when she was in the back of the bus, the back of the party. Like, they didn't want they wanted her last. She was last in the Contest three and a half years ago, whatever you want to call it. It's just crazy. So we could talk about all that. But the bottom line is, Felicia is still out of control. And rising costs, interest rates are still not where they should be. And that's the bottom line that's hurting American business every day. So I just say this, don't vote with your heart. Vote with your pocketbook. Yeah. Straight up. Yeah. So you just do that. See where that leads you. So what I tell you, or your wallet or whatever you are, you know, don't want to be pressing any pocket bit holders, you know, naturally. In part of that, we already got enough people trying to convince people that they need to that is naturalize that normalize everything. Everything is normalize. Few articles today. We did have the biggest IT failure in world history. Crazy crowd strike. CEO called to testify to Congress over cyber securities firm firms role and global tech outage. I think it's a good time to introduce actually. Bring on a hall. What's up, Brianna? Hey guys, new producer, new Keep up with everything. We're doing an extraordinary. I need to be here. Thanks Ryan. Yes. And because the reason why we do this is I don't remember if we know when the date of this actual testifying front of Congress, was that this week or like next week? We know? Let me check into that. Just one second. But Chris, did you have here's the irony with this look we might have I'm talking some serious topics that we should have fun. So I work from our houseboat when we don't have like client meetings or recordings on Thursdays and Fridays throughout the summer. So we were at the houseboat, Thursday night, playing a little early release of EA sports college football. That did release last Friday. I'm going to talk about that. I'll tell you how I got earlier. I was going to tell me you had that type of connection. Then maybe I would have liked one dude. You know I'm connected. All right. So the kids and I were playing and it went down. I'm like, are you kidding me? I was like, and I was going, I bet you, I bet you know, they handed out the too many people. The servers are down like for EA sports or whatever. No, it was it's Microsoft. Maybe Microsoft live Xbox live goes down and we're like, damn, we're just like halfway through. And but no, that was how I knew, you know, the world had gone like haywire with the tech outages Xbox live was gone. It's like, what the hell? I don't think I have my hands on this game. I can't play it. So yeah, but in all seriousness, I mean, if this doesn't scare you a little bit, I don't know what does without fast. The whole mothership infrastructure can go down. What the hell? You can put a pause in the world real quick. Real quick hospitals. I mean, everything's connected now. Like if you don't have internet or power, it's like kind of ubiquitous. Like if you don't have power in it, all the shit stops running. The blue screen of death. I had seen that since like, for 20 years ago, like on the PC, I haven't had a PC in about 20 years. But I was in the gym and I looked up every TV screen with the blue screen. It's like 12 TVs everywhere. And I was like, all right, this is a problem. And then, you know, seeing what was going on at Miami International Airport was just complete chaos. And I buddies call me actually what was it Friday? They call me Friday morning. They were like, yeah, we were at Tampa airport going to bachelor party in Nantucket. Everything's canceled. So we just ran into suburban. We're driving down to the keys. Yeah, crazy. 8.5 million machines impacted widespread outage of Windows computers stemming from a faulty crowd strike software update. One dude, one dude like puts the update button. It's what I heard. Like it really came out. I'm like, imagine me and that guy, you're like, I'm just gonna upload this one little file here. Oh shit. What? What just happened? Yeah. And you don't really know how big, probably immediately like you just screwed the whole world over. It's like, damn son. What did he? He's sitting next. He's got Ralph next to him having some Doritos. Like, oh, there, you know, which new Chris? Oh, my bad. I uploaded the update a little early and it's blue screen 8.5 million computers. Completely insane. And the only reason Pete in engineering news because he was playing Xbox live. I was supposed to be working. He's like, wait, why my Xbox live go down? What the fuck? Like what a meant for small business to large corporations as they were all down for hours. What does this mean ahead of the election November? It shows how easily vulnerable we are in this day and age. Yeah. I'll say this. I mean, we run that agency here. Run a podcast network calls. You know, you know, you want to. Anyway, but half our software has been jacked up for to the days. None of the data makes sense. I got like seven emails from different pieces of software coming to the day. The data is going to look a little funny for a few days. And if you don't have to use it, don't. Okay, well, don't have to pay for it. I might not use it. But I mean, it's just the sheer volume of the impact from hospitals to machines and banks. I mean, just the complete chaos that it created. It's like, I think it's eye opening. I think that's probably what these ultimately these sort of sit downs will be about. But like, we need to get our hands around this thing. If one dude at one company could create this kind of chaos. It's called fail safes, baby. We need a few more home guardrails. You know, it used to be like even like managing like a new clients, like new website. You kind of got the staging site and then the go live. It's like, we're staging it over here to make sure everything looks good. All the files are right. We're not causing any corruption or not like, you know, but much less taken down 8.5. We need a staging server and a go live for whatever the hell they're doing. It's a big fuck up. Did it impact other than your gym screens for you? Not me. No. My internet was a little weird. Obviously, but I didn't notice like it didn't majorly inconvenience me. Brianna, did any of your things? Like, did you feel the impact of this integrated? I mean, I tried to go to Starbucks and it weren't taking my app. Look, the country runs on caffeine now. So we shut the country down in all ways. Yeah, it's not seen in my life. Yeah. Yeah. No, I couldn't, I couldn't, you know, call into the team because my slack was down. So, I mean, I just had an extended weekend, I guess. Yeah. So this, some of this stuff's history, guys. So like, I bear with us, you know, we're going to keep this about business, but there's some broad history going on with what's happening with president. You know, I kind of got on quickly on the soapbox in the minister of music. I was in the pastor of minister music there on Kamala. I might get in the pastor's box with Joe Biden did resign via a letter on X slash Twitter. I mean, what, what? How has X become our primary form of communication with the leader of the free world? Like that has become the acceptable form. Let me tweet this out real quick. Oh, yeah. Well, it's a picture of a PDF. So it's more formal. It's not just a tweet. And, and saw your on our team made a good point. And I understand, okay, he was, let's go down the road and pretend that he was at face value. He did suffer from COVID and his voice was out. And he didn't want to get on TV to fair enough. It's just the, all this stuff is really fucking serious. It really important. And really like, and it's just the casualty, the casualness of how some of this stuff is being sort of handled. I think it's more of the head scratching, right? It makes me question because it's too casual and too smooth almost, right? Yeah. The next step is already ready, where I think, exactly. You and I can look at this objectively. Like, we run businesses. We run into problems. You don't have a solution the same day. You don't have it all figured out. You kind of like, oh, shit, we need to fix this. It's too smooth. I don't know. Too casual. I do now, because I got a burger, but she'll figure it out. Boom, just like that. But, secret weapon, secret weapon. But in all, but yeah, you're right. It's like it doesn't get. If we have the first letter ready, we have the second letter, we have the, what is it when they, I'm in a place already. Yeah, the placement ready and. I'm so nonpolitical. I'm missing what it is when they say they, they support them. What is it when I endorse me endorsement? Thank you. I've, that's it. See, you know, this is not my territory when I can't remember that. So they have the endorsements ready. Like you said, everything was lined up perfect. It's like, you almost think it was planned. I don't know. You almost do. It's like a strategies in play. It's something. It almost seems strategic. Oh, seems very offensive and not very defensive. Yeah. You know, who's always at the top. That's, of course, Brady Bills, the official merchandise sponsor of Ryan offered and right about now. Chris is rocking the VK hat. That was an official, that was an early production with the old folks a brand of build. We've always got to write about now logo vibe science or other show. We got all the merch. We got some cool t-shirts and hoodies coming. It's all about custom. We've already talked about this. I've already gave you the idea. If you're a business or brand, don't do that cold calling. You send them a t-shirt. You send them a hoodie. You send them cool merch that has your stuff on it. And look, their design team is awesome. They'll design it for you. You go to bradybills.com. Hit that custom button up in the right corner. Find it. You'll know it. You'll thank us for it. They will work with you to get your logo looking amazing on their merch. They'll do you some custom designs, whatever you want. Cold weather is coming up quickly. You got to have those hoodies. It's quality. It's quality. This is quality goods quality logos. They got leather straps straps. Excuse me, leather straps leather. What they did that up leather patches leather goods. Like all kinds of things with your logo on it sweatshirts t-shirts. And of course the hats are the best thing. They got the flat bills curve bills. Chris is a curb bill guy. I'm a flat bill guy. Anyway, you need to go check them out. Do the custom order. You'll thank us for it. The official sponsor of right about now. Business leaders are reacting to Biden's exit from the presidential race. Both Republican and Democrat business leaders in America had called for Biden's removal. Yeah, after it was again, too obvious not to not to let them continue. Many names now supporting Paul the Harris. He did not go on. He has a bill of television. He admittedly just a programming note. We record this on Wednesdays. The presidential release of this on video would have happened. We don't have that knowledge for this recording, but he will have gone on by now, but did not as of Wednesday at lunchtime when we recorded this episode. So it's just odd stage strategy, but I think if you're like really viewing this through the lens of like just an average person critically. But you know what? When you lure everybody to sleep, like we have the last three to four years. And you got everybody just kind of just kind of casually dealing with things, accepting things as they are. This is about conspiracy. It's just what's right fucking in front of your face. And you can either pay attention or you don't. So, yeah. Well, guess what? I'm endorse Donald Trump for president. There you go. The right about now endorsements right here for what it's worth. And it's not, you know, I even have to think about the word because I don't know what it is. But you know what? I'm not buying what's being sold on this side. Not that ethically morally or in look, nobody's got it perfect. There's no perfect candidate here. There's no perfect anything. But you got to fall on one side of the other here. And the silent majority is let me tell you, they came out of the woodbursts. Every message I had was you're saying what's wrong? Everybody's mine. Well, guess what? If we're now the show where we're going to say what's everybody's mind is so big. We'll say it because it probably is. And if you aren't scratching your head a little bit of all this shit, then you need to wake up. I got some, I got some, I got some energy drinks for you and you need more of them. So yes, but it's, it's odd. I hope Biden's address was good. If you're listening to this, you've already seen it. You know, he was ready for that endorsement. The whole party's endorsing her. Business leaders are like what? You know, even Elon, you know, Elon Musk has drawn a line in the sand. And look, we said this last week, smart guy clearly odd at times like all of us. I'm fucking odd at times. I mean, you know, so eccentric maybe. But he knows it's not necessarily good for business for him to endorse Donald Trump. We've already talked about all liberals that usually buy his Teslas. So, you know, pro gasoline, yeah, oil. Yeah, exactly for Tesla. But he knows he's, he does want what's best for America. He watched his son got, we'll call it woke hustled into oblivion a little bit. He said it is much talked into by society and everything else that is normalized, non-normal behavior. And he's had enough. And you know, it's not good for business. I don't think it's on the surface the best thing for business for him. I mean, I would have to agree. Right? I mean, the electric and Trump's a fossil fuel guy, but. And I think that says a lot of you're going against what's probably your best business interest. Yeah. He's got a bigger dog in the fight, right? His son, he said that, right? His son felt victim, quote, unquote, to the woke mind. So those are his words. Yes. So. I guess it's become personal for him to degree. I know. Yeah, you think. Maybe that's why I bought X, you know? Yeah, exactly. Which part of me with guy like him that plans things and, you know, he's calculated. You know, how long this has kind of been in his crawl, you know, watching where everything is going on. Yeah, he's playing chess. Yeah. And I think he knows he has the ideas, the business and the ability to execute over and above. Maybe the impact that it might immediately have. Speaking of Elon Musk, he delays the Tesla Optimus humanoid robot. The idea is to leverage Tesla's existing technologies to develop a human on humanoid general purpose robot that can perform. Dangerous or repetitive tasks in different industries or commercial purposes. Eventually, Tesla aims for the robot to also be used by consumers in their homes. I want one of these things. As long as it doesn't, like, eat me or kill me. Tesla unveiled Optimus Gen 2. I always say call it Optimus Prime if that wasn't, like, already taken by the Transformers. You know, you know what I'm talking about if you're Transformers junkie like I was. A new generation of its humanoid robot. When it comes to a timeline, Musk said just a few months that he believes that Optimus will be used to perform real task inside actual Tesla factories. And then in the year. So you can start selling the robot to customers outside of the company by the end of 2025. He's updated time. I'll say the Optimus will go into low production for Tesla internally used next year. So I was delayed a little bit. Just make sure nothing doesn't. You can go off to all the reservations. So to speak. It's a little. I have mixed feelings. I mean, we've been using robots in industry for years, right? Yeah. And I could see, all right, if it's dangerous stuff. But I still am like, all right, well. I mean, construction guys are losing their jobs. Yeah, I know. It's like it's just a balance, right? It's a delicate balance. I'm interested in it. But even my home, I'm like, well, I have a housekeeper. I don't want to, you know, put her out of a job or him or him. Exactly. Actually, I have a guy and a girl. Yes. Yeah, exactly. Couple. Jose and Christina. Amazing. I'm an amazing housekeeper back. I'm actually pretty good at cleaning house. But I believe that. Yeah. But I don't do it at my house. Well, I know your wife gets real tight about those rugs. Yes. You don't know how to back in those rugs right away. No. No. Absolutely. My sister helps us with our house. Stephanie. I love her. And she has Fridays off. And. I like to put a little money in her pocket. And she's a very like eight over 10 of cleaner. I guess she loves me. I think she, you know, like it's like she, I pay her for something she loves. That's how my sister is. I've paid her to to help me organize my house before. Yes. She's amazing. Yeah. Um. Yeah. The other robot. I don't know. I always think back to the robot. It was a rocky three way. Even go watch rocky three. And it's the maid that he gives for like when it hit like his trainer guy. That's kind of like always the kind of the off put guy that he buys her like this robot. That's rolling around the floor. This is the 80s. So they had this thing planned already. But it was obviously just stayed to everything. I don't know that it was actually real technology. But it looked like a housekeeper dressed up as a robot or robot dressed up as a housekeeper. Who's fun? Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. I mean, it's inevitable. It's. You know, just like. I mean, when you think about it. We put a lot. There's the evolution of work puts other potential work out, you know, working out. So like out of business. So it's like, how are we evolving? Where does the. I don't know where that line ends. And it's also the challenge of trusting whether or not these, these are programmed correctly. That's sort of the other side of the coin, right? I like the idea of. You know, for these repetitive dangerous tasks, all right, get a robot. But what are all these people going to do? If there's. Something positive. Not die. Doing the work. Yeah. But, you know, it's, it's been all what we're talking about. Talking about cleaning houses. Are we talking about like scaling, you know, 50 foot climbs like that robot. We talked about one time. Like jump, you know, like 200 feet in the air. Yeah. So we'll see. Brighana, would you, uh, would you have a robot housekeeper in your house? I would have a robot housekeeper. Absolutely. I was also going to say that they're replacing a lot of construction jobs. Like Chris said, you know, they have excavators now that are fully automatic. They don't need a operator to operate the excavator. So yeah, jobs lost. Well, we can lose them to aliens, illegal aliens, or we can lose them robots. It looks like. Take your big. I mean, just saying. Um, let's, uh, focus on the good. Go learn a fucking skill. Yeah. Learn something. Yes. Can't do. I know. We're pairing those washing machines to Chris. Chris doesn't know how to do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, the more I hear Vance talk tomorrow, I like him. I'll tell you that right now. Yeah. That story. And him talk. I like. I, you know, sidebar, but talk about like. Not growing up with the best and making something out of yourself. That's a story we can all get proud of. Yeah. I, I just said to learn more. I know. And it's funny how out of the radar, certain people are right. Yeah. And how quickly they get presented to us and come very popular. That's on. Exactly. That's politics right. I know. I know. You know, someone comes out of nowhere and three months later, everyone in the world knows who they are. You know, like. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like. I don't, maybe he's out there. But I hadn't watched, I didn't, I need to watch that video. McDonald's to extend the $5 meal deal. We, we had to turn it, you know, like. And I wanted to keep this article on here. This is from Fox Business dot com. Ironically. Uh, This is, but this is back to affordability that the reason they have this is because of inflation everything else. And because the sales have been creeping down on like these extras and like things that people spend money on. McDonald's limited time five to our meal deal remain available longer than four weeks at many locations. It's only slated to run about a month. But the majority, 93% of McDonald's restaurant station wise now intend to keep it on their menus for longer customers can pick up two sandwich options, McDouble or McChicken plus small fry, forced piece nugget, and a small soda. The length of the deals extension will depend on McDonald's restaurant meeting the objective of driving guests back to our restaurants because they haven't been coming because inflation's choking. That's why. When you start to see this kind of stuff, this is what we're talking about, you know, it's good. Good for McDonald's. I mean, I think I want my family eating a little healthier in most of time, but everybody is a little bit down sometimes. Well, I think it was unaffordable. You could eat healthy food for what it was costing you McDonald's. I think that was their problem. It's like it wasn't fast convenient and low priced anymore. It was fast to eat. Yeah. If I'm going to spend $12, I can get a healthy something else, right? Right. I'm going to go to five guys or something. I'm not going to go to McDonald's. I'm going to salad, you know, get a big salad. I watched that side of the other day. It was funny. Elaine with her big salad, I was a giant salad, my big salad, and I missed that episode side-filled. That went in and George was the fire. He was over his girlfriend's house. He was having a birthday party for her son. Her mom was there. He was in a walker and all these kids. And it was a fire in the kitchen and George ran out and knocked over like her mom on a walker and all these kids because he was scared of the vibes. And it's clearly it's comedy. Obviously, no one's to be proud of running out of. It's just so true to his character. Funny stuff. If you're seeing it, you'd be laughing. These pretzels are making me thirsty. I'm not seeing anything else that's really tickling my fancy. Anything else that you feel like I should bring up here, Brianna, for today? Well, straight bouncing back after let's talk about the huge impact on, you know, on stocks with the attempted assassination of the president and of the former president, Donald Trump. And with Biden stepping down, we saw some huge dips in the stock market. Yeah. I mean, it's speaking of that whole thing, the secret service director finally resigned. Like, if you may watch, you may watch even like replays of how bad she gets slammed in the like Congress or whatever it was, Senator review what it was like, both sides like missiles directly at her. And I mean, my police so and her, yeah, like, either she knew she was going to resign as he was just there like to take it because you had to and it's like, but her response is just some of the worst I've ever seen, like either lack of preparedness or she didn't give a shit about one of the other. Either one is like kind of like, maybe it's the sign of a house she does things because her lack of preparedness all around, it's kind of what the issue is, right? Which is crazy because she had plenty of time to prepare. Yeah, for that, it's like, it's the accountability, right? It's like, okay, the four president literally just about got shot. We could all sort of admit now that it was a complete debacle for how easy that was for a 20 year old kid with some major issues to get up there and pull it off. And anyway, the sell off has bounced back. How's crypto doing from all this Chris? It's cranking. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, ever since the assassination attempt, I'd say it's up like 20% and it's been a little choppy, but there was a pullback yesterday, but it's running again today. People are just like, I mean, we're in the middle of a bull cycle. It's going to pump probably until around 2025, but this, I was shocked at how much this is pumped it. Yeah. Situation. Where are we at? Roughly. And then when you've got also JD Vance, he also is a big crypto guy. I mean, he talks publicly about owning Bitcoin. So that, you know, that fire is up the market to, I don't know, right now, what exactly? I think it's still hovering around like upper 50s, around 60 K. Yeah. So now that did we buy below 60 K in your instance? Yes. Yeah. All right. I've been doing crypto since like 2017, but I'm a big believer. It seems as stock market dollar cost averaging, put a little in every month and just forget about it. Set it. Forget it. There you go. Just like the old, what was the, that was the vacamatic or whatever it was, the commercial set it. Forget it. Well, clearly, you just set it and you forget it and then dry after we got them. Well, there you go, get on Coinbase, put a hundred bucks a month in or something like that, set it. Forget it. Exactly. The way my mind works and remembers like these slogans from like, like random infomercials. That's what it was. Set it. And forget it. Anyway, I think that's all for today. We're to tight roughly 40 minutes. We're going to keep taking the BS out of business and tell you like it is. Ultimately, take the business the way it is. Any final thoughts, Brianna, Chris, Brianna, Trump, 2024. Oh, come on. Come on. It look. Callie, girl, come on. Callie, transport. Like, like, hot off the train coming to South Carolina too. Yes. I mean, Brianna, you do a little work who you are where you came from with everyone. Alrighty. So I am a California born and raised and recently moved to South Carolina to escape, you know, California politics, California school system for my two sons. And I have a background in marketing and, you know, some podcast experience. And I'm just really thrilled to be here and be a part of it. Yeah. Exactly. Awesome. It's getting thrown around with your boys and California schools and you not get told. Yeah. No. Didn't want that. There's a lot of different things going on. They can't just say the Pledge of Allegiance, you know, and there are things that I want to instill in my kids that weren't going to be instilled in California. Yeah. Exactly. So good for you. Yes.
