My grandson! Samuel Laffey Junior!! He’s not getting Social Security and if your under 50 your not either. Good luck!

Met Kelly 32 years ago today!

We need anyone else in the White House and well..it is pretty obvious the he is suffering greatly from Malignant Nacissism and Trump wants, yes he wants the Republicans to lose the House and the Senate.

Our Segment starts at 26:30 or so.

The statistics are so brutal it is hard to hear me say them when I listen to this tape.

“It’s dwarfed by the fact that really rich people uh say the top 20% of the people Armstrong are spending 63% of consumer dollars but the other people are borrowing to survive not borrowing to get rich and that’s the despair. “

“So the despair is that we’re not fixing big problems like Social Security came out yesterday with a or over the weekend with another report that it’s 71 trillion in arrears, not $61 trillion in arrears. It’s an extra 10 trillion— dwarfing our national debt. So when you when you start looking at what people are doing in what they call the K-shaped economy in the middle class is really borrowing more just to survive. But along the way with student loans, which here’s a statistic for you, people over 50 have the most student loans an are in arrears by 20%. 20% of people with student loans over 50. It’s it’s an incredible statistic. You look at what’s happened with credit card debt. People aren’t making their payments. We we have that rising repossessions of cars is is back to where it was in 2008. So we could go through a myriad of statistics. It’s dwarfed by the fact that really rich people uh say the top 20% of the people Armstrong are spending 63% of consumer dollars but the other people are borrowing to survive not borrowing to get rich and that’s the despair. You know, if you look at the economy growing, a new study just came out. Um, without AI and data centers, the economy last year grew at 0.1%. not 1%, not 2.1% So 4% of the GDP is growing like a weed and the rest of it’s flat So, you know, we’re in this bubble economy now and when it turns, I don’t know what we go to because we can’t have a recession. If we have a real recession, a 1983-84 recession caused by Paul Volker again, right? We’ll have a 9% debt to GDP and the 10-year bond could yield eight or 9%. Because people are putting a risk premium into it now. These are real problems, and we got to get to them along the way with what’s happened with the uh the war in Iran. It’s soaked up almost all the money from tax cuts and anything people might have gotten that they’re using to spend on energy.”

We all enjoy Cheyenne Frontier Days last week, I just have less kids to take!

More importantly, we have a new grandson! What a great blessing!

From Spain in 2007—Kids are a Blessing. We need more of them.

What a blessing to be on with one of the great national TV commentators Armstrong Williams along with fellow guest,Jordan Goodman.

I sometimes wish I didn't have to tell you all the truth, but we are not fixing big problems and everybody seems to know it and nobody wants to do anything about it. But whether it's credit card debt, auto loans, sab prime loans, or just any kind of loans or debt Americans middle class is falling behind as I say in the show “borrowing money to survive” not to prosper.

At around 31:40 this carefully has not many people ever get in this short-term world what happens with ever increasing interest rates over time. It's happening now.

At around 35:10 we move to Data Centers and AI.

At around 38:27 I get the last word on the Federal Reserve…and I let them have it.

Rocky Mountain National Park! Kelly, Stephen Junior and myself!

There is some good eatin in Ole Henderson Nevada!

Ever been to the “Sphere” in Las Vegas…I had to take Audrey, second from the right, there to continue her graduate school after being in Paris and in LYON— so we took in this unbelievable thing called the SPHERE and “The Wizard of Oz.” Kelly of course is on the right and two of Audrey's great friends from school- one from Connecticut— one from Spain make out the rest of the four pretty ladies.

Audrey home from Graduate School in Paris! Now I get to eat Beef bourguignon again!!

My segment starts at around 28:30. An economic history lesson from the start of my career.

"They know we can’t have a real recession that used to cleanse everything…” (35:35) Listen and weep.

From Palmer Alaska!

My first encounter with a baby Caribou (Reindeer)!

We are on the second segment but I must tell you you should watch the first segment also!

I am doing the show from Palmer, Alaska and I neglected to bring my blazer or a shirt or a tie so I'm wearing the closest thing I could find!

It is on the economy!

From Alaska!

At 6:05 if you only watch one part…

“But here’s the last thing that nobody thought of and nobody ever thinks of before

you do something like this.

In Hong Kong, when the British got out and there was like, oh, we’re going to be fine.

Everything’s going to be fine.

Did every member or every person living in Hong Kong have a gun?

No, they have no guns.

So China took it over.

Did Trump think about,

did anybody think about,

okay,

so we’re going to have,

there’s like 13 real different ethnic groups within Iran and on the edge of Iran.

Let’s talk about the Kurds because they’re more Christian.

They’ve helped us out.

We’ve screwed them a couple of times after they helped us out, not to get into this.

Did we say to the Kurds,

here’s 50,000 Glocks,

here’s 350 Gatling guns,

here?

My beautiful daughter, Jessica Laffey the youngest Peace Corp member in Africa, feeds the poor in Rwanda, What a blessing!

I am in the first segment and come in at about 4:30.

Trump’s disaster on Tariffs with allies were exposed and the future doesn’t look good for more tariffs.

And oh yes, Pres. Trump is off on Gasoline prices by even more now.

Sarah, still fighting, she is a birthday girl tomorrow!

Great show with FirebreathinRob! I don't know really what to say as you could watch me say this over a dozen times starting over a year ago starting when President Trump refused to go to Congress to get anything done and started relying at the beginning of his presidency on simply executive orders, etc. etc. I said this was illegal. I'm not even a lawyer. And here we are with the Supreme Court ruling 6 to 3 against him, leaving President Trump to scream and yell when all he had to do at the beginning of his presidency if he wanted to go in this direction when he had power and controlled both sides of the house was to get legislation to pass terrorist.

Maybe you MAGA people were now remaining silent and thought he was playing third dimensional chess should wake up. This is a very dangerous bad person who was the President of the United States, who does continually stupid things along with some smart things. Oh yes, the USA of did grow at 2.5% in the first year of his presidency not exactly the fastest growing one although he'll say it is the fastest growing one and the best economy in history of the world and maybe you'll still believe it if you're MAGA sycophant but maybe people should wake up. I see this starting to happen what happens first with people who are only wanting Trump because of the hatred for Democrats and a blind to the truth, they really believe things like he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Now they are silent…soon they will jump ship. As I said a year and a half ago, that would never happen I could go on and on, but this is a good take on some very recent subjects.

Oh yes, and now let’s talk about Aliens.

People were asking my what a “Death Cake” might look like, this isn’t quite as big as Audrey usually makes one for me, and I miss her so very much, (tied..Jessie)!

I mispoke: As of early 2026, the nine U.S. Supreme Court justices were appointed by five different presidents: Donald Trump (3), George W. Bush (2), Barack Obama (2), Joe Biden (1), and George H.W. Bush (1). The court has a 6-3 conservative majority, with six justices appointed by Republican presidents and three by Democratic presidents.

I will let the show speak for itself…if you only watch one , watch this.

Armstrong says the Laffey’s are “Old School”. and yes yes we are! thanks Armstrong…I am not sure Kelly would have went on with anyone elese…she love Armstrong!

Happy Valentines Day!

One of my Valentines is far away doing God’s work! This is my Jessica!

What a great pleasure. I come in around 7:15 into the show. After Armstrong turns to come Communist China with a great lead in I start off with…

“Exactly. And and it’s and it’s much worse than that because both what you talked both people talked about regarding ICE and what happened in Minneapolis and what’s happening with Communist China is a lack of protocols, a lack of training, a lack of information to the United States of American public. So specifically on communist China, it’s much it’s hard to say it’s much worse than what you just said. 64,000 Chinese nationals have been apprehended coming over the border the last four years. 64,000. There’s not just one giant balloon incident. There are more. There were three in the last year where they put balloons up over Florida, Texas, and another state. And and and and the incursions by their military into our airspace has happened a thousand times. So we could go on all day about this. Communist China is an enemy and for the president of the United States to have a lacadasical za great leader stuff going on. First they’re going to ban all the students from coming to the United States of America which I agree with. Then they backtrack on that. We go from tariffs that are basically nothing to 100% down to 30%. There’s a lack of consistency in informing the American people about how dangerous this is and that communist China wants to be the world supreme leader. They are behind most of the military now stuff going into Russia that’s going to fight um Ukraine. They are replacing Iran by far as the world’s worst problem for peace. So, we have to do something very consistently about communist China, which the president needs to do, and stop all this banter about like keeping Tik Tok open for an extra year illegally. All this stuff has to stop and we have to focus because, and listen, John F Kennedy wrote a book, ‘Why England Slept.’ America’s asleep when it comes to communist China. Even though we have some tariffs, we’re totally asleep about the real danger that they pose in their economy, which can spend as much as they want on their military buildup.”

At around 21:00 I explain secure voting and why you need an ID as Bruce doesn’t seem to think people need one!

At around 25:25 Armstrong asks me about the economy and says I have 1 1/2 minutes before we close…I guess I have done so many shows over the years that I actually took just about 1 1/2 minutes and then stopped!! But what I said, I think you should pay close attention to.

What an honor to be on!

There are rumors that Kelly will make her own TV appearance soon. I will keep you posted. It has to be more interesting than Melania!

“He realized that he had gone beyond his power when dealing with Greenland. He made statements that he had to have it. He had to own it. He didn’t have to own it. He knew he knew he had to know the 1951 treaty.”

“I imagine that finally someone like Scott Bessent, the secretary/treasurer, after the stock market went down 2% was starting to head down again said “Mr. President you got to stop this right now.” Somebody got to him and this is going to be the continuing problem for President Trump. He can’t control himself. What he whatever he gets out of Greenland he would have had just by calling him on the phone.”

It goes on and then we go to the economy, where you can use what I say as a primer of what has to be done. But it won’t under the people we elect.

There is some good food in Fort Collins! Who knew?
