As the shooter they released the real name today. Start with bo dietl whether or not they made the right choice. Took a while to come out today, what do you make of it . Doesnt mean anything, they wanted to do their investigation, and they felt as though they could be some problems for the officer, so they wanted to conduct an investigation, and with what you saw with this riot situation going on with molotov cocktails. People looting, people setting stores on fire, and you had a real serious situation going on down there. They wanted to protect the people. Some people think its suspect, fishy, that the release of the officers name comes the same day when the images of the Convenience Store is released. Somebody they think is Michael Brown robbing the store before he is shot. What do you make of the two . Im looking at the video. A pretty big man, an obvious thing that there was a robbery by force. What does that tell you in terms of the investigation of the shooting, if anything . You have Police Officers looking for somebody who committed a strong arm robbery. If he fit the description the officers supposedly confronted him and supposedly, sketchy information, i feel inadequate telling you. We dont have enough information about the circumstances that led up to the shooting. But they talked about that today. Something happened in the police car, allegedly he struck the officer, a bullet went off in the radio car, and the main witness is supposedly the guy he was in the store with. Theres a lot of variables. What weve got to realize right now, what the people doing in missouri is totally wrong. You have to wait for the due process of law to find out what happened. By robbing somebody elses property, setting it on fire, throwing molotov cocktails, what does it do . You have the race beta, al sharptonrousing it up. We got to find out the facts. Who is impressive is the captain from the state police whos been there the last couple of days. This guy ron johnson, who seems to yeah. He is going in with a relationship with them. Hes in the march, hes talking to them, he respects them. You got to bring them down. People look for an excuse to steal, set fires. Whether the cop is wrong or right, what does that do by stealing other peoples property . Remember rodney king, 60 innocent people were killed. I was here with the 77 riots with the blackouts. People were killed, robbing, burning, what does that do . I believe in peaceful demonstration, they should peacefully demonstrate about what feelings are, thats what makes america great. You dont steal peoples property. Not when you are throwing molotov cocktails. Well, the cops were dressed in paramilitary stuff . What are you supposed to do wear a tutu . It almost looks like military rather than police. Someone is throwing molotov cocktails at me or throwing objects at me, i want a helmet on, i want a shield, i want to protect myselfment the show of strength is a big deterrent. When i was a homicide detective i had a sawedoff shotgun, i popped that sucker open, i put two shells in there, and the guy had guns on many occasions, the guy would say to me, look, dont do nothing, i have a gun in my side. Put your hands on. Never, ever show a sign of strength, people are less apt to do bad things. Dont have to use it. Bo dietl, good to see you. Connell, remember, you dont get law and order from doing what theyre doing. Thank you. This is getting a lot of attention from all sides. Many from the left and the right are joining senator rand pauls call to demilitarize the police. We go to reason editor in chief matt welch saying its not the first time the police have gone too far. Bo has a different point of view he was expressing, not just people like rand paul that may be from your side of things, libertarian, but the people on the left say too, look at the tanks in the streets . A lot of people are saying that right now. Libertarians talking about this for ten years, that place is like reason and the cato institute. There was a vote by alan grayson, a progressive from florida about halting the transfers from the Defense Department to all the local police forces, 460 Million Dollars a year. Only 65 or so Congress People backed. That 43 democrats, 20 or so republicans. This is post9 11 policy, not that many people argued with at the time. And we saw in new york after 9 11, it was like a military, it felt like you were in a place of order. Of all places it would be new york where that makes sense. And we understood it then. Here we are however many years later, and boy have we gone too far . Did you think it should never have happened in the first place . I dont think there should be a set program taking military equipment than protecting our rights and our peace which is what the local police force do. Military are involved in offensive, defensive war, i dont think it is appropriate for hundreds of cities across this country to have tanks, to have armored carry vehicles. They use these to enforce drug warrants oftentimes and s. W. A. T. Team raids and basically to execute warrants. That is not a proper use the police force and equipment for the most part. I think some of the people might make an argument that in certain cases we need this. But then i would probably say but in all cases do you have to use it . In other words, if ron johnson is the captain taking over the investigation says no, here now, its not appropriate. Does that necessarily mean we have to completely eliminate giving these departments this type of equipment . Maybe there is another use for it. Maybe buy their own stuff, to the extent they feel they need this equipment, purchase it. I dont think we need a federal program to transfer military equipment to police units who havent been trained in it previously, whose life day to day doesnt require that type of stuff. And look at what ron johnson did. This got peaceful in ferguson when the police said we dont need to point these rifles with laser pointers. Interesting, exactly the opposite of what bo was making his point a few minutes ago, if you show so much force, youre less likely to have a violent confrontation. What he was saying is ultimately incoherent, yeah, i would say it to his face, ron johnson did a great job and always show maximum force. Ron johnson didnt show maximum force, he did a great job, he defused the situation because they stopped treating Peaceful Protesters like potential criminals and the situation got a lot better. The essential message goes back to big government, getting too involved in places it shouldnt be. Rand paul and the aclu, left right coalition is saying, we shouldnt be treating american citizens like subjects in a war that we should not have the overgross militarization to execute warrants and keep the peace on civil protests. Showing the images from ferguson earlier in the week, it literally was like a war zone. To the extent people are rioting, you need a Strong Police force, what you dont need is shooting tear gas canisters into peoples front lawns while standing there, which is one of the many things we saw. We dont need people pointing rifles at people with hands up. Dont need any of that, as a general rule, you shouldnt be withholding information like they are with the autopsy report and other things. Seen leaders on opposite ends you would think of the political spectrum agreeing on. That which is interesting, i dont know if thats the right word. Matt welch, you can see more from matt next hour on the independents right here on the fox business network, check that out. Next, the real threat were not ready for . A formal Central Intelligence director says one attack on us could take out 90 of our population. Hes here to explain it for himself next. My mother made the best toffee in the world. Its delicious. So now weve turned her toffee into a business. My goal was to take an idea and make it happen. Im janet long and i formed my Toffee Company through legalzoom. I never really thought i would make money doing what i love. We created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams. Go to legalzoom. Com today and make your business dream a reality. At legalzoom. Com we put the law on your side. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about . Foreign markets. Asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. You know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity across the credit spectrum and gets exposure to frontier and emerging markets. If you convert 4quarter p e of the s p 500, its yield is doing a lot better. If youve had to become your own investment expert, maybe its time for bny mellon, a different kind of wealth manager. And black swans are unpredictable. Connell the major threat were not prepared for. Next guests say one emp attack could cause a nationwide blackout that would take out more of the of our population. James woolsey is with us, and peter pry on the dangers that were not ready for, and mr. Woolsey, let me begin with you, this is an issue, we talk a lot, ive done a special on it and reports over and over about cyberattacks and all kinds of things we might face as a nation, we dont talk about electromagnetic pulse, something that can go after the electric grid and take it out. How real is the potential about an attack like this in your view . Well, planets like the sun have been emitting electromagnetic pulses for billions of years, we have been hit by these on earth going back a long, long time, and occasionally one such as in 1989 in canada would knock out a huge amount of electronics. The problem is that our electronics is getting more and more vulnerable. The electronics that we have today is about a million times more vulnerable than what was here in the early 60s, when we were still Testing Nuclear weapons in the atmosphere and could measure what the effect was. So the problem is not only do you have naturally occurring electromagnetic pulses from the sun, but a very similar type of phenomenon can be produced by detonating a Nuclear Weapon in orbit somewhere between, say, 40 and several hundred miles above the earth, and depending where you detonate it, it can create a huge takedown of our infrastructure, because we got 18 Critical Infrastructures in the country and 17 depend on electricity. So the electric grid goes, Everything Else goes too. Connell we hear that all the time. Hearing it described in this way and how it would play out, its quite frankly scary. And peter to you, for a moment. Before we get into who might have the capability to carry out an attack like this and those issues, you can talk more about the mechanics if people dont understand how the threat like Something Like this might occur . Sure, a Nuclear Weapon detonated high over the United States would generate this electromagnetic pulse, which is basically a superenergetic radio wave, more powerful than lightning and faster than lightning, and unlike lightning which is a point phenomena, it puts down an emp field that would cover the continental United States. Connell the weapon would have to get over the land mass, the United States, it has to be hovering over it . You could do it by satellite as the North Koreans practiced during the Nuclear Crisis in 2013 when they flew the ksm 3 satellite over the united practicing. That or you could do it by a meteorlogical balloon or even by aircraft if you were willing to detonate it at lower altitudes like 30 kilometers. Connell what about capability, jim woolsey . Who has the legitimate capability or threat right now . All you really need is a Nuclear Weapon and a booster that can put it to orbit, simple Ballistic Missile like a scud, and the Nuclear Weapon can be simple, it does not have to be sophisticated at all. And we have of course russia and china have this capability, but unfortunately the russians tell us theyve been working with the North Koreans, they told us years ago, and the North Koreans have something very much like this capability. The next scary country that will probably develop it is iran because iran has the Ballistic Missiles and launchers and everything they need except for the Nuclear Weapon, and theyre very, very close to having that, and our negotiating position in dealing with the iranians makes it pretty likely theyre going to have highly enriched uranium before too long. Connell we started this discussion out by pointing out how you gentlemen dont think weve done enough to prepare as a nation. How about that, peter . Where are we on preparation says in falling behind . Unfortunately, the nation is utterly vulnerable to emp and no excuse for it. The commission on which i served in 2008 made a plan for protecting the country at low cost. It would only cost 2 billion dollars. Connell whats a couple things we can do . Harden highvoltage transformers using surge arresters and blocking devices. They have been used for 50 years to protect military systems. We know how to do it. The problem is the politics in washington. The electronic power lobby doesnt want the proper bills passed like the shield act, an been stalled for three years and needs to pass to protect the National Electric grid. Another is the Critical Infrastructure protection act, neither of the bills is given the priority that is needed to get them passed. Interesting, what about you in terms of priority, jim woolsey . Something you think about a lot . Youve been talking and thinking about it, it doesnt seem its getting enough attention or a lot of attention. Really, the priorities are really a serious problem. The Defense Department is sort of trying to slough this off onto the department of Homeland Security and tries to slough it off to the Defense Department because nobody wants to pay for it. As peter said the electric power and Utility Companies are lobbying so there wont be increase, even a tiny one in the price of electricity. Nobody, including the white house looks at all diligent or competent with respect to this. We have a system thats dysfunctional with respect to a threat of this kind. Connell we usualy saw thank you. In all seriousness, thank you for giving us the information. Were finally getting somewhere on the whole border crisis. But you never believe which border were throwing money at. The details straight ahead. So ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts . Thats right. Its just that im worried about you know hidden things. Ok, whys that . No hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. Will you be a sound sleeper, or a mouth breather . A mouth breather [ whimpers ] how do you sleep like that . Well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. Allergy medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow it instantly opens your nose up to 38 more. So you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do sleep. Add breathe right to your allergy medicine. Shut your mouth and sleep right. Breathe right. [purring] [thunk] [tap] [purring] meet one today. [thunk] visit theshelterpetproject. Org. Adopt. Connell the government finally doing something to help the border crisis. The thing is its not our border. The state department is sending 435,000 to secure ukraines border, build a fence over there. We have fox biz allstars on the story, jarrod and susan join us. Lets build a fence in ukraine . [ laughter ]. Colin, funny, i live in texas, im close to governor rick perrys initiative to shore up borders as are most of our viewers. I do believe, and by the way, this is part of a 50 Million Dollar package going to ukraine, not just the 435 k, but something going on here. We need to protect ourselves against the putin problem, there is something that needs to be done over there. At the same time, you know, congress has enacted on helping us here and governor rick perry has used state money to back our borders. Ive got a problem with it, but its a necessary evil. A story were using to facilitate a story about immigration there, just because were doing something there doesnt mean we have to do it here or vice versa. Still, immigration is a big issue here, and going into the midterms it seems its polling very, very well for the republicans and looks like its an issue they could take advantage of. Look at where congressional ratings are right now. At alltime lose. The president s rating is at an alltime low. You know what . You guys need to come together and fix this problem. When we have border offices taking care of children that are being housed and changing diapers and making formula, that is not the most effective use of taxpayer dollars. Connell so many other things. This has been a big week in the news, everything is going ooverseas and the story in ferguson. Immigration is a huge story. Understanding republicans can bring it back . They have to, on the focal front because everybody is talking about it, its in the headlines, every single day, everyone is concerned about it. Of course were compassionate, we feel bad for the families and children trying to come into the country, but we also have to protract our own. I happen to be from st. Louis, i look at situation there and i feel badly for that situation, too. Its time we all come together and work as people in this country. Connell horrible situation, almost as if on the immigration issue its not the specifics that people get into. We did a fox poll, people want something done about immigration, thats why i say this is a political advantage for the republicans, its not we want to build a fence or do that, we want to show something were tackling this issue . I was talking about what rick perry is doing. Were going to spend 12 Million Dollars a week in texas like you said, susan, changing diapers, tending to the basics. This is money spent so haphazardly when it could be applied so efficiently in other areas. The faa hasnt approved the drones to be used along the borders. Kids are flying drones all over the street. Were just throwing millions almost down the drain. That is the part that bothered me and the rest of the american public. Connell you like what perry is doing . I do, i think you need to do something, and again, listen as much as i dont want to see any children suffer, theres a lot of children in this country that are legal and suffering, and were sending millions down to illegals streaming from the border. I think hes making a right move. I agree with that exactly. What if we took all the money and helped children in the country who arent getting a good education who cant read, who dont have food to go to school. Thats where our resources should be spent. I think rick perry is doing a good job, hands are tied. This is a situation i liken it to, you have two partners and a business, one says yes, the other says no, thats the exact thing we have going in the government. And somebody has to take the reins by the horn, you know that analogy. Connell bull by the horns. Im just kidding. [ laughter ] thank you very much, more from both of you dmup just a few minutes. Were talking about republicans, you hear republicans are the party of the rich. Well our next guest has three reasons you should think otherwise. Unlimited cash back. Let that phrase sit with you for a second. Unlimited. As in, no limits on your hardearned cash back. As in no more dealing with those rotating categories. The quicksilver card from capital one. Unlimited 1. 5 cash back on everything you purchase, every day. Dont settle for anything less. Ill keep asking. Whats in your wallet . There are 47 of the people who vote for the president no matter what. There are 47 with him who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them. Connell the republicans, its fair to say, trying to put the mitt romney 47 comments behind them since the campaign and pitching a number of antipoverty initiatives. But will that change their image . We go to the former House Speaker republican denny hastert, good to see you and thank you for coming on. I said before the break, three reasons this image might change, just to now give it away. I was talking about paul ryan, marco rubio, talking about rob portman. All come out with the antipoverty initiatives. All big name republicans. What do you make of that . First of all, i think thats where republicans come from. Paul ryan comes from janesville, wisconsin, blue collar town, people work, thats where he comes from. Rob portman comes from southern ohio, blue collar area, thats where he comes from. Rubio comes from miami, family of immigrants, thats where he comes from. So you know, i think most republicans you see putting this policy together are bootstrap republicans. They know what hard work is. Connell but the connotation, if you went out on the street and down here in d. C. Or new york you want to say whos the party of the rich . Most people say its the republicans. Is it tough to change it . Its tough to change it but the perception is there. The Silk Stocking wall street guys are not republicans, theyre democrats, and the people who have great wealth in this country putting so much money out, there a large amount are democrats, the preponderance of the Republican Party are people who work every day that raise a family, that want a better life for their kids, and thats not a value that republicans have, thats a value that we can share, we need to be a big party but need to bring people. In i see great opportunities we could have. We need people who are in problems today, trouble today, we need to create jobs, this is a party that has the ability to create jobs. If we bring a trillion dollars that we have overseas, we can put the money, invest it in capital into jobs, into the economy and put people to work. Thats what we should be doing. Connell all policy ideas that have been out there as you point out rightly and many republicans backed the ideas that might be thought of as antipoverty measures. I think this move by paul ryan or rubio or portman, this move to be so public, this is what we want to do about poverty, that theres a Little Something more going on here, dont you think . A little more about image, a little more about trying to change how people view the party or what peoples feelings are when they hear the word republican . Republican is going to be a national party. If were going to win a national election, we have to be able to be a big 10 party. We need independents, conservative democrats, the old reagan democrats. Connell have you gotten away from that in the last however many years. Were in a tugofwar on ideology right now. We have to show were pragmatic and can do things and help bring this country along. I support and applaud what ryan and portman andbio are doing, theyre doing the right things. Connell have you one you prefer over the other so far . Theyre all good. Connell speaker hastert, good to see you. My pleasure. Connell thanks for coming on. Already struggling with taxes. People are, what if i told you another big hit is coming to a tax bill near you, next. Im mary and i have copd. Im jeff and i have copd. Im lisa and i have copd, but i dont want my breathing problems to get in the way of hosting my book club. Thats why i asked my doctor about breo. Oncedaily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. And breo helps reduce symptom flareups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. Breo is not for asthma. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. It is not known if this risk is increased in copd. Breo wont replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. Breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high Blood Pressure before taking breo. Ask your doctor about breo for copd. First prescription free at mybreo. Com. Connell more good news for you on a friday. A Health Care Tax is coming. And employers are finding ways to pay for that. One way would be to shift the cost to workers. He joins us to say im sure what are the other options when have you costs, you have to shift them to employees sometime, right . This is 40 excise tax on the most generous plans. Companies are doing the rational thing to avoid paying the tax by shifting the cost onto the workers. Connell this doesnt go into effect until 2018, 40 as you say quote, unquote cadillac tax, excise tax is going to be something companies have to deal with. How much of your time is spent talking about how to deal with new policies to Health Care Law . How do i maneuver it so costs stay low, you spend a lot of time talking about those things. A lot changing in the health care environment. If you think about this one from a federal budget perspective. This is 120 billion dollars of revenue between the years of 2018 and 2024. A big chunk of money the federal government is expecting. Connell peoples premiums will go up, peoples just more money out of their own pockets is starting that year or its already happening in your company . Already happening in the fortune 100 really. And, you know, what were seeing is a trend that predated the Affordable Care act, but employers want to pay less, and they want their employees to pay more and part of it is making sure employees feel the cost of health care to make better decisions when theyre going to the doctor or to hospitals to get care. Connell sure, and part of that, and paying as you said, higher costs and deductible is going to go up. All those types of things. As a side bar this to this discussion is the incentives for regular people, and if you want to have lower costs, you go to the doctor, and you get checked out more often, but you enroll yourself in Wellness Programs or incentives for people who lose weight, people who quit smoking, all those types of things. Good ideas in your view . Great ideas. Employers are doing a lot more of this. In the Affordable Care act, they have to offer preventive care, and its important for consumers to understand this, they have very high deductibles, the networks are providers are narrow and providing higher costs for pharmaceuticals for networks as well. Connell you are in the business of selling it to the people or being in the business of health care. You see all sides of it. How has it affected you . Recruiting employees is everybody in the same boat so it doesnt have much of an effect or cost structure, whats that been like . In our company, we are a Health Care Company and dedicated to make sure we have a generous benefit. We have to make sure we are not paying a 40 excise tax. I would say its our goal to have a lot of stability for our employees to make sure were not disrupting the labor force, thats true of most of the companies were working with as well. They dont want to make the insurance so cheap that people dont want to actually carry it, but theyre also looking to make sure they have stability and not paying huge taxes as a result. Connell thank you, sir . My pleasure. Connell fox biz allstars are here, jared and susan, and susan is with me here, and jared im sure you, you were as well, we trust. Susan talks to a lot of Small Businesses and dan has to deal with the new costs that are coming on board. What are people telling you . Scary for Small Businesses. The u. S. Chamber of commerce says 88 would see increase in Health Care Premiums and so i actually say the Affordable Care act which was supposed to make insurance much more affordable should be called the after your cash act because everybody is going it be paying more money in the long run. The excise tax is going to be happening for many, many years. Connell on the lower end, people are saving a few bucks, right . Im sure there are certain cases, absolutely. High deductibles, seeing Companies Going to hsas instead of the plans and a lot of Small Businesses even with 50 employees or more would rather pay the penalty, its cheaper than paying the premium so theyre sending them off to the exchanges and letting them get insurance on their own. It is not a good thing for the health care consumer. For Small Businesses its tough. Its the number one concern for Small Businesses for the last 20 years. Connell making decisions, jared whether you would rather pay a penalty rather than going down the road it was intended for. Nor is the fact that they have to pass along these costs, what theyre going to have to do. Not many other choices, there are . No, im more worried about the consumer. This infuriates me. Both of my parents worked in the city of philadelphia in different capacities. Theyre moving into retirement and watching Health Care Costs increase, and remember, they worked for much less being Civil Servants pause of the Lasting Health care and thats going away, the coverage is going down and costs are going up and that does affect the economy as a whole, not to mention the psyche. Not just the Small Businesses but the folks, maybe you worked for the large municipalities. It affects the Small Business owner. They cant afford to do it anymore. Bigger companies are feeling the impact. The consumer is feeling the impact. Everybody is getting hurt by this whole new strategy, and its just not working, and were going to see when the companies arent paying that 40 excise tax, where is the money going to come from for the government to pay for the cost of the aca. Connell 5842 latest poll from fox news. As the world couldnt get worse, wall street keeps looking better . In the long run it has and why problems are piling up. Investors are making piles of cash, next. [ male announcer ] if you suffer from a dry mouth then youll know how uncomfortable it can be. [ crickets chirping ] but did you know that the lack of saliva can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath . [ exhales deeply ] [ male announcer ] well there is biotene. Specially formulated with moisturizers and lubricants, biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy, too. [ applause ] biotene for people who suffer from dry mouth. Connell here we go with tonights biz blitz, tensions in ukraine and russia sent stocks lower today. If you look longer term how the stocks are doing, wavering through syria, ukraine and iraq. Ebola outbreak, you name it. Lets see if the fox biz allstars figure out whats going on. People always expect the market to tank when something bad happens overseas, doesnt work that way. Your view what weve been seeing lately . Information not only flows freely but theres a lot more clarity. The u. S. Is the best thing going, dont forget that. None of these occurrences over the past year or so have had a bottom line real impact on u. S. Earnings. Connell and how much companies are going to make, what would be the future stock prices, which you know, really is what people forget because thats what i was getting at. This is knee jerk, ukraine, the market is going to go down here, and a lot of times there is so much more to it than that. Actually, it could be the opposite, colin, the best of the worst. Connell i dont want to be anywhere near the emerging markets. That is the trend. Weve been benefitting from, it could have effect on confidence, susan, potentially, but i dont know that weve seen that necessarily, the people are sitting out there, boy, im worried about all these things, we report on them every single day, you get that . I do. Investment advisers will tell you, you cant track the market by the news headlines. If youre a longterm investor. The other thing is people are looking at domestic results and saying for example, the Labor Department found that job turnover and job openings actually are up a little bit. Highest its been in a number of years, were also seeing which job turnover goes up, people are willing to look for jobs, there is confidence in the economy, but also if you look at Small Businesses. You know theres an optimism index that shows businesses are optimistic, theyre willing to hire, willing to reinvest in companies. We know that Big Companies are sitting on an awful lot of cash. They got to let go of that one of these days. Connell absolutely. Topic number two in the biz blitz Government Accountability office revealing how the epa is justifying new regulations by using 20yearold jobs data. Speaking about things were waiting for, for years, come on. I dont know where to start, sounds odd. Look at numbers 20 years ago, like me saying the mets were pretty good. Were they 20 years ago . Maybe 30 years ago, its ridiculous, isnt it . Its scary. Im a statistics guy, thats the focus of my business. The cpi has been recalculated several times because the government didnt like the way things were going. Heres tidbits, if you see data, dont just look at headlines, look underneath of it, read the details. Be careful when you hear seasonally adjusted, read into the story more. Listen, theres going to be misinterpretations of data all of the time. Connell im with you, i love seeing data and looking through numbers to make sure, but it has to be, and this reinforces the point, the right data susan, you can draw any conclusion, you can find numbers to back up your point of view if you want make a point. My mother always said figures lie and liars figure. If they rely on that data, they would be out of business quickly. Or the manager who used that data would certainly be fired, who cares, its the government. And you dont have to be that on top of things. Heres whats scary when you you look at epa and regulations, they have a 364 greater impact in costs on Small Businesses per employee than they do on Big Companies. What if they started using the right data . What effect that would have. Connell not exactly the government that has a great history that we want to cite but the epa is not the one you look at, they have the bonuses that were paid out. People in this city go back years ago to the air quality around after 9 11 and what we were told by the epa at the time. So the history isnt necessarily there to back up the epa, is it, susan . Think about whats gone on in the past. I think its true, i dont think theres incentive to perform within governmental agencies, weve seen agencies giving back bonuses because they didnt think everybody got treated fairly. Connell oops. Nobody promised you it was going to be fair in life. Connell doesnt get a trophy. At least not in my game. Not in my world. Connell exactly right. Sixyea soccer. Speaking of agencies that have not had it easy, we go to the va now and thats been quite a controversy that weve covered for weeks and months, but now how about this. Veterans are sour about the government certainly, but should they now also be sour about their government retirement plans . This is a financial story. Banks are pushing veterans to leave government plans and join broker operated account. Jared, if youre advising a veteran on the financial move and the banks are saying wed like to have your money over here, what would your word of advice be there in terms of the questions you want to ask. The government does things wrong, if the retirement accounts are invested, and the funds you can invest in no matter what Brokerage Firm you go with. I will say this. Usaa is making a push to hire Financial Advisers and help vets of the u. S. Do your research, remember, look at all the fees and talk to somebody, take your time. You could go somewhere else and get a better deal. Connell thats the point, if its so easy for us, you tee it up, bash the government, the government is horrible and the raw deal the veterans have gotten from government agency, jarrod makes a key point. How much you have to pay if both are investors for retirees, lets not be so quick to jump unless it makes sense. I would tell the veterans dont walk, run to private investment account firm. Connell thats playing into it because in other cases its been this way, without looking at the fine print. They had limbed options in plan right now.
