Amen! To the Mom that spoke out and poured her heart I needed that. My little girl 3yrs old was diagnosed this past week actually when this was put out with Type 1 diabetes. Her Blood Sugar was close to 500 and she was in dka. We spent 3 days in the hospital. It's been a total world change. But we are staying and prayer and taking it one moment at a time. Thank you for asking her that!

George redeemed himself on the first call regarding the elderly woman. 😂 I’m POSITIVE he’s been waiting for this moment. 👏🏻

Loved Ken's response to our National Debt crisis! Class Act!

If you have 900k annual income with no debt don't even call 😂

I do enjoy when Dave is in studio but it seems when he isn’t the callers actually get to finish their stories. 😂

Ken 100% yes on the national debt. Both parties are at fault, and neither is doing anything. 🤬

[tonysuarez]

Thank you Ken for explaining the national debt problem so clearly and unbiased

Air Force guy needs to stay in for 20. That pension and healthcare can’t be beat. Then go work for an airline. My cousin did that. He’s making bank.

The portion on the special needs mom was beautiful. Beautifully profound! Great job Gentlemen!

Regarding the national debt, I would suggest that every time the debt is reported in print rather than dying 34 trillion dollars we should write $34, 000, 000, 000, 000. That would catch our attention. Of course, newspapers will complain that it takes too much space. Who cares?

40:25 why is Dave from Cheyenne calling in to a radio program? He needs a financial advisor and a tax expert. I'm glad George steered him in that direction.

31:31 Thankful for medicaid....we have had 2 medical helicopter flights in past 4 years. One was 47K the other was 81K. Between wife, daughter, and I over 6 months of hospital stays, major surgery, chemo that is over 17K a month, over 3 dozen months of either no income or drasticly reduced income....we are working the plan on baby step 2 right now.

God has been good to us.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.

My heart goes out to Connie. Although she has gone through her loss she has a sense of financial peace and security. ❤🙏🏼 Ken and George gave her great guidance on visualizing a different retirement dream.

I’m sorry, but $12, 000/month in the Air Force?… I should have enlisted a long time ago
