new inventory mortgage rates Edge lower

rate today
6.62% it is not enough to motivate

and go buy house uh I looked at some of
the uh uh home sales uh 2008 we saw
around roughly about 4.2 million home
sales this year right now we're sitting
at about 4.25 million so we are looking
at a year of home sales
literally the same as 2008 going to be
very very close to what we saw in 2008

housing collapse right now again

spending as you all know to go out and

it's going to be very interesting to see

the most the average cost to get your
paper money out of out of an ATM right

where are people getting a break
somebody please tell me today other than
maybe seeing you you know big screen TVs
uh at the lowest I've ever seen them
where are people really getting a break
at right now because it looks to me
everywhere you go prices uh just
continue to go up or they're going to
they're they're going to stay up Walmart
and Target are cutting prices to entice
customers well here's some good news uh
they're cutting some prices people are
going to go where they feel they're
getting a deal and so uh Walmart and
Target have come to the conclusion that
hey we're going to have to get trapped
we're going to have to pick up some
traffic so in order to do that we're
going to have to entice the consumer to
come into our store so let's cut some
prices a little bit and it seems to be
working
um when you see what's happening in Auto
Sales what's happening in in in home
sales uh when you're sitting on all this
inventory and you're not getting the
foot traffic you're not getting the
sales well Walmart and Target figured it
out cut prices repeat cut prices you cut
prices people will come as long as they
have a job this is going to be another
problem now that so many people are
losing their job that no matter what
prices are if you don't have a job it's
going to be very very difficult to eat
to shop to buy a car to buy a house and
this is going to be a big problem coming
to America is this uh job crisis that we
are now uh in the beginning stages of
without a job it's going to be very very
difficult for people to survive so do
whatever you got to do to hang out of
that job uh you know diversify a little
bit have a side hustle have a couple
side hustles uh hton allegedly hit by
Massive Cyber attack one of the largest
oil field uh
Service uh uh compies in the
world uh was hit Wednesday by a Cyber
attack uh again you know I don't think
people understand how fragile this whole
thing is and we're talking about you
know going to a digital currency and
won't that be wonderful and convenient
think about how many countries now have
the ability to Cyber attack us they're
hitting our hospitals they're hitting uh
our oil feeld field uh Services they're
they're hitting our financial sector uh
they're hitting our military uh they're
hitting uh our grids they're hitting
everything and it's amaz it just amazes
me that people will sell you know
they'll they'll sell everything for some
convenience they'll sell safety for
convenience oh you know yeah we could
get Cyber attacked and maybe our money
won't work but boy it's so convenient
and so easy to have this digital money
um people just don't understand how
quickly things can be can be shut off
and just imagine where the technology is
going to be a year from now two years
from now three years from now do you
really want to have all of your eggs in
one basket sitting on a computer screen
do you really think it's that safe uh it
appeared to impact business operations
at the company's North Houston campus as
well as some Global uh connectivity
networks they have
48,000 employees and they operate in
more than 70 countries
I mean think about the security they
must have on their systems and yet
they're being
infiltrated uh you know I I I read daily
about our water treatment facilities and
our grids being like being attacked
every day uh you have uh the FBI warning
US Weekly now that you know they're
gonna they're going to be very
successful at some point and they're
going to shut some grids down they're
going to shut some cities down they're
going to shut your water down uh they're
going to shut your emergency services
down they have the technology to do this
and we're being overwhelmed every day by
this so be careful don't keep all your
money sitting on a computer screen
because if that screen turns up to be
blue one day and you can out access your
money you're going to be in very very
big trouble especially when your
electricity doesn't work your water
doesn't work it's imperative that you
are putting some water away you're
putting food away put some food away for
your animals too remember your animals
uh make sure you have a trauma kit make
sure you maybe have some extra vitamins
some extra medicine put this stuff away
if you have a small budget just think
about what you would need to survive for
a week or two if the entire grid went
down think about just a few items water
food security things like that a little
uh silver some cash don't keep all your
money in the bank ladies and gentlemen
uh keep enough to pay the bills uh but
you may want to get some of it out
because if that grid goes down and those
systems don't work they're not taking
your ATM they're not taking your credit
cards uh they're not taking your debit
card they're taking one thing cash
that's it if it gets really bad then you
may be talking to a farmer about uh
trading some gold and silver for food uh
feds gave Catholic Charities almost $800
million that help shelter and transport
the president's migrants into US
communities now this isn't to get
political you know I don't get
political um but we do have to get e
economic
here wouldn't $800 million really be
helping some Americans right now look I
don't want to see anybody suffer I don't
care where somebody's from what part of
the world I don't want to see anybody
suffer but I can't afford to pay for it
this country can no longer afford to pay
for anybody we're bankrupt $35 trillion
in debt we cannot afford to do this
stuff who paid for this what would $800
million do for your city what would $800
million do for your business what would
it do for your kids people are going
into debt to buy back to back to school
supplies people are going into debt to
go to the grocery store they're going
into debt to pay their electricity bill
and $800
million went to help these people when
it should have went in my opinion my
opinion only should have went to to help
Americans where's this money coming from
I think you have an idea it's coming
from you it's coming from me I want my
money to help these people right here in
the United States of America
Americans first if we can't help
ourselves we can't help anybody we're in
very very big trouble again not
political it is economic we deserve to
know where this money is coming from and
we need to know why it's not helping
Americans why it's not helping the Vets
why it's not helping small businesses
while it's why it's not helping your
kids school why it's not helping to
create more jobs why it's not helping to
um uh uh improve the infrastructure why
it's not going to help things right here
to feed people that need food right here
in America who's paying for this why is
this being
allowed and as I speak about that
Pittsburgh Post debtors propose closing
two Chenango Valley hospitals bankrupt
Steward Health Care system LLC is
seeking Court approval to close a
346 uh uh bed trauma center and a 69 bed
Rehabilitation Hospital in the Shenango
Valley at the same time F raising in
negotiations continue see we we have to
negotiate and fundraise to get money
nobody gives it to us to continue to
save stewards 82 uh bed Sharon Regional
Medical Center in Mercer County the
owner is of these
properties uh is medical properties
trust Inc from Birmingham Birmingham ham
Alabama
now while I read you this article coming
from the Pittsburgh Post
they're looking to place these patients
somewhere else because these units these
hospitals look like they're going to be
shutting
down and it blows my mind that we have
$800 million to just give out when we
have hospitals closing and patients in
the hospital rooms need to find a new
location this is absolutely appalling
that we're not helping our own people
that we're allowing hospitals to close
but but we have hundreds of millions
billions of dollars to give to everybody
else what do you think about this I I I
think this should be completely illegal
I I think it should be
uh completely
unacceptable uh I I just I I just don't
get it I mean this is just to me it
looks like a fullon assault uh to the
American people in my my opinion that
they're not getting the help businesses
a people laying in a hospital bed
um the infrastructure the average person
working paycheck to paycheck 78% of this
country falling behind falling behind
spending another extra thousand bucks a
month just to live like they were just
to keep up where they were they're
spending an extra thousand dollar a
month that's $1,000 a year most people
cannot do that and they're falling
behind and many people are falling out
of the middle class while we give
hundreds of millions and billions of
dollars uh to people from all over the
world while our hospitals shut down
while uh our infrastructure crumbl
while our small businesses close down
while our restaurants close down while
the economy continues to fall into
shambles this continues to go on we have
money for everybody else we don't have
money for
America I'm going to leave it there
today uh please comment on any of this
uh tomorrow should be very very
interesting uh what jome pal says how
much does he juice the markets maybe he
doesn't maybe he shocks everybody I
doubt that but uh how doish will he be
how hawkish will he be I think he's
going to be extremely doish who knows I
don't have a crystal ball let me know
your thoughts what's Dr pal going to do
tomorrow how will the markets react and
are you seeing hospitals businesses
restaurants in your areas continue to
close down and how much worse is it
going to get this is absolutely
unacceptable it's absolutely pathetic
it's disgusting it's repulsive that this
is allowed to go on and nobody is doing
anything about it I hope I pray to God
that
everybody's voting I I know that it's
selection yada yty but look you got to
do something people got to be out
talking they they've got to be posting
this stuff on social media they've got
to be voting uh you know it's not an
election it's a selection maybe to a
point but if enough people got off the
couch and voted maybe it's not it's
harder to select at that point I don't
have the answers ladies and gentlemen
but we got some big problems and they
need to be addressed and I think the
more that people admit that we have
problems the more that people see these
problems the more that people speak up a
little bit vote a little bit more uh
post more on social media uh maybe maybe
something gets done how about prayer how
about prayer if you don't think any of
that works one thing that we do know
that works is prayer we all need to be
praying for the United States of America
we all need to be be praying for one
another um because if we're not praying
for this country at this point because
it needs a miracle the only thing that
saves us now saves this economy is a
miracle and the only way we're going to
get that is prayer and getting off the
couch have a great day be safe out there
God bless all of you God Bless America
