Episode Transcript
Speaker 1 00:00:32 Good morning, everybody. Let me put you right with my alter ego. She's ready.
Speaker 2 00:00:40 Well, good morning everyone. We have a fantastic show this morning. I want you to know that the title of the show this morning is Get Information. And the reason why I chose that title is because we have some political crisis that I believe that democrats, liberals, independent voters, you need to be information for the next year and a half and down into the presidential election. This is not the time to continue partying over the win of Biden and Harris. We've got a lot of work to do as we've promised. We have our, you know, community spotlight, and we're spotlighting Keith Andrews from Aviation Wealth. Your host will be interviewing him. So I will turn it over to your host so that he can start having some discussions with Keith and you get to know him better, get to know his business, and any questions that you may have, please send them on through.
Speaker 1 00:01:41 Again, as we've said before, when we can we drag people off the street. No. But anyway, uh, Keith is, uh, an interesting guy. Uh, the thing I like, uh, as an American who's traveled the world enough, uh, I like, if you haven't heard the statistics, uh, half of our country has run off as small businesses, people who start things. We wanna not just be independent, but want to exercise their abilities and make sure they make their own mark and do their own thing. So Keith is an interesting guy, uh, will have him like maybe start by telling you what AV avionics is or something. So, uh, but Keith has got a, a pretty big background number of years in handling, uh, planes. Let him tell you what his company does.
Speaker 3 00:02:27 Hey, good morning Alan, and thank you for having me. Uh, today, uh, the name of the company is, uh, aviation Wealth, and, uh, we chief ma mainly avionics is aircraft electronics, where we do, uh, navigations comms communications. We also do the, uh, avionics, does the barometric altitude, altimeter, air speed. Uh, and we do also, there's other things that involve with avionics that make sure the aircraft, uh, lands and takes off safety and that, and that cruise speed.
Speaker 2 00:02:59 So, I want to know a little bit more, cuz I was reading your bio and it talked about how you gained your experience. So can you let the audience, and for young people who are listening, right, because there's so many alternate careers that we don't even think about, right? We, especially in the, uh, black community or Latin community, they don't think that these are Koreas that are available to them. How did you start? Tell us about your military background. It'd be interesting to hear.
Speaker 3 00:03:27 Okay. Uh, absolutely. After, uh, high school, I decided to join the US Navy. I joined the Navy and became an, uh, aviation, electricians mate, aviation electricians mate is, and the code is ae. Uh, at that particular time I went to Millington, Tennessee where the school is. The school right now I think is in, uh, Pensacola, Florida. Oh. But at that time, it was in, uh, Millington, Tennessee. Went there, uh, with the A school and got lucky enough to start working on P three aircraft. That's the Orion Submarine Chasers, uh, which also was, uh, sea duty. So most of the time, uh, I didn't even have to touch a ship, was luckily, uh, you know, most people, I joined the Navy. Most people said, well, why didn't you, uh, get on the ship? You joined the Navy. But, uh, P three s was, uh, was my sea duty. And I, I rarely touched on aircraft.
Speaker 1 00:04:14 Let me quickly say that. Uh, throughout our military, we have a lot of aircraft that people often never see, uh, never think about. They think about jets, fighter jets, commercial jets. They think about little training planes, but what he is talking about is these planes that go over the waves and they're full of electronics. That's why they need people like him, because it isn't just making the plane get up there and land safely. It's hunting in effect. That's correct. So you're talking about an electronic weapon. The plane that hunts, we had the other ones in Vietnam, they had a lot of these that were similar that would find people as needed. Yes. So there's a lot of aircraft and that's the electronics that he got to do That's correct. And
Speaker 3 00:05:01 Learn about. That's correct. Yeah. So after the, uh, military, I had some pretty good leaders in the military that guided me. Uh, it mentored me while I was there and, uh, I did my time there, but I wanted to get out. And then once I got out, I wanted to do something in the civilian world. Uh, once I got out in the civilian world, I, I worked for a company called Page Aje, and we worked on everything from, uh, one ces Cessna one 70 twos all the way up to King Airs, the Gulf streams all the way up to 7, 7 40 sevens.
Speaker 1 00:05:32 Nowadays, you generally work just on jets? Yes,
Speaker 3 00:05:35 Sir. Basically, yes, sir. Yeah. Right now work on, we do, I do Aviation Wealth does business jets. Uh, the customer wants to, uh, get his, uh, uh, instrument panel upgraded. We'll upgrade your instrument panel. We, uh, if you drop in and you had any problems with your radios, your altimeter, uh, we'll fix all that, fix that for, well,
Speaker 1 00:05:52 Right. Again, the idea of the avionics is you are are putting yourself in an, uh, an atmosphere that you don't see, but you wanna be sure you're safe. You can detect if there are winds that are gonna harm you. Uh, you're flying free, like you jumped off a building and you wanna make sure you land without killing yourself. So the point is that, uh, you could buy a plane, but it's a shell. It's like if you bought a car and you decided you wanted to raise it and change the engine, as he said, you can update things. There are new electronics that come out that will serve you better. That's so he, he can retrofit and do all of this. Right. Interesting stuff.
Speaker 2 00:06:32 So, Keith, tell us a little bit about your, um, commercial experience. Did you ever work for a big, uh, aircraft company or manufacturer? Did you travel around the world? Well, how, how have you gained these skills to be where you are today?
Speaker 3 00:06:49 Well, back in, great question. Back in 91, 92, my father passed away. Once he passed, uh, I struck out and I started doing a bunch of contracting contract work. Right. I went contracting. I, I worked for Command Aerospace, I worked for Boeing. I went out and doing those various jobs in these various places. I gained a wealth of knowledge, uh, hence the company Aviation Wealth. I gained a wealth of knowledge. I learned, uh, as they say, there was more than one way to skin a cat. So with, I met various people's, various, uh, uh, characters, right. And they taught me, and I mentored me, and they showed me thousands of ways, not just one way that we could do something mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And that with that knowledge that built it, built my confidence that built my, it built my character. Uh, I went to, I had the privilege of working, uh, under the two, the, uh, leadership of Hillary Clinton at one time, went over to af Afghanistan for the Department of the State. Right. Done a lot of work for, uh, the Jordanian Air Force. Uh, done a lot of work in Saudi. Most of my work was in SAR in the Middle East. Uh, but it was great experience. And I came back home. And when I came back to the United States, I came back and I wanted to open up the aviation wealth and also share that knowledge and also be a mentor to other people like myself.
Speaker 1 00:08:08 Yeah. There is that famous old saying, a wealth of knowledge. And that's what he is really saying. That's the wealthiest talking about you have all of these skills and understanding. Going way back, even when I went into the Army, uh, we had these spy planes. They were called u2 s they had tremendous electronics. Uh, and then as you progressed, so nowadays people here of hackers, but there have always been this technical side, stealth planes. We developed them, they were developed and kept secret if they could because we wanted to have an edge. So there's a tremendous amount of technical and electronics that you cannot see if you're not in the military. So you get the best training in the world, which is what he was exposed to.
Speaker 2 00:08:55 Sorry. So Keith, one of my questions is, you mentioned that you work on commercial jets. So my question is, do you work on business jets, meaning corporations that own these jets that fly their executives? We talking about individuals who have the ability to own planes, whether they're small or large. What are we talking
Speaker 3 00:09:17 About? We're talking, we're talking about both. We're talking about the, the private owner that is wealthy enough to have his right, that has his, his business jet. And we're talking about also, uh, you have Magellan net jets, you have people that fly, they charter, uh, people across the United States and across the world, uh, and all these aircraft needs servicing. All these aircraft need maintenance. And at the time, uh, in, back in the days, uh, Orbi and Wilbur, you just had some rope and some fabric. But nowadays, you know, every wiz kid and engineer is coming out now, you know, with, with new technology. Right. And we have to grow and adapt with that technology.
Speaker 2 00:09:53 So do you travel to fix your client's, uh, uh, aircraft? Do they come to you? Do you have an area where they come to, or do you go to them?
Speaker 3 00:10:04 Right now, I'm, uh, based outta of Casim, uh, CASMI Airport. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, those, uh, that abbreviation is k, uh, sm mm-hmm. <affirmative>. But, uh, we can travel. If, if there is a, a OG situation that you, that you need an airplane is down, uh, a OG means aircraft on ground. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And if there's an ALG situation, yeah. We can travel to the, uh, to that destination to fix the aircraft, depending if it's not, uh, not too far. But yeah, we could make that, make that haul.
Speaker 1 00:10:31 Well, and if you think about it on the news every now and then, uh, when there's a crash, which is a lot less with planes than with cars or buses or trains, the point is you hear about the N NTSS B and generally they're going out there to investigate what happened. And they're extremely talented at putting together a crime scene, which is what the crash is. So these people, no matter where their office is, they go where the action or activity is needed. So Keith, if he's got an owner or a company that has a plane that isn't working right, they can give him a call and you just pay the expenses. That's the point. That's correct. You're not gonna take that plane up and have it crashed on you. That's correct. So that's the interesting part. His job is where the work is needed.
Speaker 2 00:11:18 That's right. One of the things that I wanna make sure the audience, uh, understands that he is a jet concierge. So make sure that you look up, you know, um, his company, um, he's gonna give you some information on a phone number to call. Uh, so Keith, you go ahead and you speak as long as you have to about your company because this is your opportunity for, you know, the audience to understand what you do.
Speaker 3 00:11:47 Okay, thank you. So again, aviation Wealth is, is PR primarily a, a new company? Uh, right now my website is, is, uh, under construction, but, uh, I ch mainly it started out as a form to share knowledge. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And from there, I, I gained the aviation wealth and I developed it to start doing, uh, manpower. So if, uh, we, if someone needed a contract employees, if someone needed, uh, uh, an avionics guy, a mechanic, structural sheet metal person, quality pilot unit pilot, that's right. If someone needed it, we could, I could hire and also send them out for, to do the, the, to do the work for 'em. Labor work. The other part of aviation wealth that I'm, I'm developing right now behind the scenes is, uh, as you said, a concierge. If you have an aircraft that you wanna sell, uh, 15 million, 10 million, a hundred thousand dollars aircraft, I put it on the website. I come there or I take pictures, take photos, we look at it, see the value the worth of the aircraft, and we will, uh, sell, put it on the webpage and we'll sell your aircraft for you. Uh, that's the other part of what aviation wealth is done. Again, it's a wealth of knowledge. Anything that's aviation related, we are there to assist you, help you and guide you to, to meet your, uh, demands. And
Speaker 1 00:13:06 While you don't think about it, let me just say this, just like a person, when you're a teenager, you grow, you look via first car and you're happy if it runs and you can go on a date with it or something. Then when you get your first job, you want a car that has more features, then you have a family, you might need a van or something else. People who buy planes, they start with the basic planes. They work their way up. Companies grow. They need more planes or different planes depending how their company has grown. So when you have a person like Keith who covers all these services, not just fixing them, he knows all the people who own 'em. So when they need it, he becomes a clearing house to a certain extent that hey, you're looking for one, I've got a couple of customs who have, and it's a good way of networking in effect, which is what they like to call it in the last 20, 30 years when it comes to jobs or friends or knowledge, as he said, a wealth of knowledge that he has. Not just fixing the planes, but the people who own them and what they need. That's correct. So they learned to come to him. That's
Speaker 2 00:14:08 Right. So Keith, can you at least give the audience a phone number?
Speaker 3 00:14:12 Yes. Right now you could give me a call at, uh, (407) 777-5622. That's the number you have. And we will answer, answer your call. And if we can help you out, give us the details on what's, what do you need and your demands. And we'll be there to, to assist you along
Speaker 2 00:14:29 The way. And we will make sure that we post that number for you so that, uh, you can reference it as well as the name of the company. Again, very important that you guys see that the opportunities are there. And he is local. He is actually born here in the state of Florida. So we are always excited when we meet an original Floridian
Speaker 4 00:14:51 Native,
Speaker 2 00:14:52 A native Erian, a military guy, a family guy.
Speaker 1 00:14:56 We don't just grow oranges and Flo
Speaker 4 00:14:58 <laugh> <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:15:00 We grow people.
Speaker 2 00:15:02 Right? So we will continue with our show. He's gonna be here, um, having some discussions, give us some good perspectives on the things that we do, um, from a political perspective. So let's talk about, um, get information, let's talk about that because get information is very, very important. Ah, before I do that, Paul Garcia, good morning, from Arizona. Casey from Illinois, Emily, Keith, Wagley Andrews, good morning from Orlando <laugh>, uh, Lisa Sarnia, we love you. Thank you for being here. Linda Brooks, thank you. Thank you for watching and we love your comments. Thank you so much,
Speaker 1 00:15:49 Linda. We're happy to hear you're on.
Speaker 2 00:15:52 Okay, so we wanna talk about, get information. This is a call to action people in Florida right now, the cpac, if you think the NRA is bad, these people are worse, are planning the future of the Republican party. They're planning on running Trump in 2024. McConnell Romney, uh, uh, uh, DeSantis. All of these guys are going to stand by him. So you may not even have an option of a person running against Trump because they're gonna do exactly what they did the last time. Make sure that nobody runs against this man. So Democrats, liberals, voters, you cannot continue to just sit on the sidelines and think that because Biden is in there that everything is gonna be okay. First of all, voters, you did absolutely nothing in giving Biden the necessary control of the Senate. 50 50 is not control of the Senate with one pretend, pretend Democrat who's out of Virginia.
Speaker 2 00:17:10 Mr. Joe Manchin, West Virginia. West Virginia, I'm sorry Mr. Joe Manchin. So you only have 49 Democrats. And then you've got the other crap coming out of Arizona that she herself is doing the same thing as Manchin. So he doesn't have what he needs to put what you want out there. I am a Latino and Latinos, I'm getting sick and tired of seeing you on tv, threatening that if he doesn't get you the immigration reform you want and all this other nonsense that you're not gonna vote for him. How dare you. You didn't do that, that with the Republicans. You didn't give him what he needed. He needed 60 votes in the hou in the Senate, not 50. That's number one. And we lost eight seats in the house. Barely a majority. So if you think this fight that's going on right now, $15 an hour, these millionaires don't want you to get it.
Speaker 2 00:18:14 Why aren't you out on the street? You see Trump supporters, they are out in the streets. They form their little packs. They go after local and state legislators and governors and at the federal level, they're right there pushing. You guys are doing nothing. You're sitting back and listening to the news, but you are not doing anything. You are not making phone calls, you are not writing letters. You are not out there protesting. But you want everything and you cannot get anything if you don't work for it. So Latinos, you need to stop threatening Democrats. You need to get information, get a damn platform together, three or four issues, that's it. And stick behind it. And then work towards 2022 in making sure that warn gets back in, he in in office and we pick up some more Senate seats. If you want this man to be successful, you gotta give him the tools for him to be successful.
Speaker 2 00:19:18 And right now you are not doing that and you haven't done it. Ms. Ocasio, you need to stop, stop making threats against your party. Okay, Bernie Sanders, you need to stand down. You are not the damn president. You've been in the Senate for years, you haven't really done anything. You speak a lot of things. But when we needed you out there with the Wall Street uprising when workers were out there demanding higher wages and the fact that businesses were not doing their job, I never saw you out there marching. You never said anything. And here we are partying in disarray. We should not be in disarray because you know what? Trump did not go away. His party is not going away. And they're already introduced 165 bills across the country to take away your rights to vote. Black people, I don't want to hear this nonsense about your vote doesn't count.
Speaker 2 00:20:22 In other words, the efforts of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and all these other people means nothing to you. You didn't have the right to vote. You couldn't go into the schools that you're going into Now, how dare you say it doesn't matter. Are you always gonna get what you want? Absolutely not. But you gotta have your voice. You're allowing other people to make decisions for you. Black men, 27% of you voted for Trump. Why? Because he makes you feel like a man while he's ordering people to shoot you down. Take everything away from you. Where is your brain? Where are you right now? Black women. You need to be working together with black men. This is not all about women. You need to stop that. It's about the family, it's about the culture, it's about community, it's about our children. So I'm gonna get off of that and I'm gonna start talking about service members, uh, and the Covid 19 vaccine.
Speaker 1 00:21:23 Let me just really give you another perspective on what my older ego just said. We're a country with over 330 million people. Uh, because of the diversity. I believe it makes us stronger just like gene pools when you mix them and you get the best out of whatever's been contributed to the next generation. But when you allow people to keep yourself separated, I enjoy food from all over the world. I enjoy cultures. But we are a country called America. Joe Manchin is almost proving what I've been telling you. Whether you register as a Democrat or Republican, what are you doing? Who are you really serving? Okay, so register. So you can vote early in the primaries and stuff, but recognize that the idea is we are a country. We've gotta work together with anybody from any background, any color, any place. Do not set up a little Cuba in Miami and decide you're gonna vote like a block.
Speaker 1 00:22:27 So you're gonna force people to listen to you. All you'll do is mess up the country. I will give you the scenario that you're going to see in the next few months coming outta cpac. They're gonna keep everybody at ends and see if they could pass no legislation. Cuz that's what McConnell did when he took power during Obama's administration. And then Trump's gonna say, you see, they said they were gonna fix everything. I had this country doing great except for this pandemic, which we're getting past. He'll brush it aside even though he caused hundreds of thousands of extra deaths by not dealing with it, okay? Which is his way. He doesn't know how to run anything. He knows how to steal from us. So they're gonna tell you that Biden's getting nothing done. He's not fixing anything. There are still people unemployed. They don't care if you suffer.
Speaker 1 00:23:19 They don't care if you are on a food line. Recognize that I signed up at 18 to serve my country. Not a group of people, but a principle, a set of principles that are set out. The mission statement is the preamble to the Constitution. Read it. It's not long. And these people who want to take your other places. So what my alter ego is saying, do not let us be fractured. Do not let them tell you this person is only for that. If we work together, we don't end up with these little groups so that Mitch McConnell and the Republicans and Trump tells them what to do. And then we're still in Muck and Meyer and we're getting nowhere.
Speaker 2 00:24:05 I will say this and I'll have our guests, uh, talk to it. I will say this, people, you should be pressuring the people we voted into office to get things done. I don't want the Democrats trying to collaborate with the Republicans. If you do not understand how Mitch McConnell works, then you have learned nothing. Get together and pass what you can pass and come out and explain it to your supporters. I couldn't get this but I got this, this, this and this. Because if they don't do that, what McConnell is going to do is stretch it out until the midterms election and, and and probably end up gaining the Senate again. And Biden is gonna be hampered. So right now, you have got to be a voice so that your representatives understand you need to get information, you need to look at what you are trying to pass and we need to pass it. We don't need the Republicans, they didn't need us. They didn't use us. And this idea of collaborative, collaborative doesn't always work. You don't
Speaker 1 00:25:19 Have to say, let me just say this. Also, when you hear all this nonsense about the $15 and it's uh, you know, they all want it passed. Even if they left it in that bill, the $15 minimum wage in that bill does not become $15 till the year 2025. So they're arguing about 15, but they're not telling you that the bill may raise it to 11 if we by action, the company Costco, which is throughout the country, and they do well on people like them. Costco just raised their minimum wage to $16. There are other companies who are paying 15 these companies, cuz I've explained to you, every cost they have is passed on to us. If we don't buy their services and their products that they're selling, they don't own anything. It's worthless. I don't care how rich they are. So the point is, they know that if we talk and we get together and work as Americans, not as blacks, whites, male female, uh, L B G T X y Z, that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 00:26:28 If they know as a group, you're gonna say we're not gonna buy at this store. Publix hit a big snag about a month ago when they found out that the heiress who collects a lot of money in dividends from Publix put 300,000 into Trump's rally that he had that went against our capitol. And those people are still threatening for the state of the Union to blow the capitol up. We stop all of this crap by working together as Americans and saying, this company is not on board. I'm not gonna buy here. I'm gonna go over here. Even if they get it from the same distributor, it doesn't matter. You are shifting the money that flows in their pockets. They will feel it. They will change.
Speaker 2 00:27:14 Economics. Economics period. People, economics is very important. While you sit there and complain about no jobs, you go to Walmart and you're buying the same stuff that you complain is being made in China. Why are you doing that? Why are you shopping and buying all this bling and all these things? People, companies listen with their pocket books, shop at your local businesses, support your small grocery stores. Hire someone who can come and fix things for you. You don't have to go to the big companies,
Speaker 1 00:27:48 Pay a little more. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 00:27:50 Doesn't really
Speaker 1 00:27:50 Matter. See your benefit.
Speaker 2 00:27:52 What this is how you do it. This is how it was done in the civil rights movement. How do you think blacks were able to ride on a damn bus because they cripple the company.
Speaker 1 00:28:03 Rosa Parks
Speaker 2 00:28:04 Financially, they crippled them and they knew that the majority of their money was coming from the blacks. Cuz whites have cars. They can do whatever the hell they want, but you need the public transportation. Apply the same principles now. So I I don't wanna belabor all of this.
Speaker 1 00:28:22 It's okay. The bottom line is like,
Speaker 3 00:28:25 I'd like, I'd like to add something. Um, you know, wealth, part of the aviation wealth, wealth, people equate wealth with, uh, currency correct or wealth with, uh, tangible things, right? But you got, you, you, you, you guys are putting out wealth knowledge. You're providing a great wealth of knowledge right now. Cause a lot of times, uh, people don't know. They don't know. And you're providing this a great service of information of putting that out. Uh, so, and, and you and you're correct with the, uh, crippling the, the companies by, you know, people don't know these things and you're providing that great knowledge. The other thing is patriotism. A lot of, I think people, uh, they get confused with being a patriot. Uh, they think that, okay, uh, a patriot is something that like some certain people didn't wanna wear their mask. I don't have to wear my mask, but being a patriot means that I want to support you. Correct? I wanna support this person or that person I wanna support. So being a patriot means, yeah, I I'm gonna put my mask on. I'm gonna, I may do, I may not like putting my mask on, but I'm gonna put my mask on because I want to, I want to take care of my fellow American. That's what, you know what I mean? So those are the informations, I think. Correct. You guys are doing a great job of putting that out of, of that wealth, of
Speaker 1 00:29:37 That knowledge. Well, I think he just figured out why we brought Keith on because he understands the basic principle that we talk about. Wealth. Knowledge is wealth. That's, and you could have all the money in a world if you can't fly the plane. If you can't fix the plane, you gotta come to someone who could put it together and make it work for you and help you when you need to get it done. You don't ask what color the doctor is when you're on an operating table. You hope he knows what he's doing to put you together. Absolutely. So that's what's important in life.
Speaker 2 00:30:08 And to take that a little bit further is back to the jobs that are available that people look down on. We have gotten away from jobs that are kids can do because we wanna shove the grease down their throats. But you've got the person who builds a house, who fix your electricity, who collects your garbage take. Make sure that the water that you're drinking is clean. It's, you know, sweeps the floors. If we don't have those people, we don't have a society, we don't have a clean society. We end up with problems. You have to be able to appreciate all of it. Stop demonizing teachers. They're the ones who have to educate the kids that you don't wanna stay home and take care of. Cuz you look at teachers as babysitters. They're not your babysitters, but they do have to do all the jobs you should be doing there.
Speaker 2 00:31:05 Psychologists, social workers, they come out of pocket to buy things for your children when you don't have it. So you need to stop demonizing them, pay them what they deserve to be paid. If you have money to go to a football game, a baseball game, a basketball game, and you're spending hundreds of dollars, why do you have a problem paying the person who has to help and get your children into the future? Are they bad apples? They're bad apples and everything. They're bad apples in relationships. They're bad apples in pilots and, and doctors and nurses and politicians. There is no such thing as 100%. They're bad apples in the police department. But does that mean you don't have cops? You
Speaker 1 00:31:52 Need them. And by the way, to put a, a little bit more, uh, whipped cream on this Sunday, uh, police and firemen, they don't teach police how to just write tickets. They don't teach firemen just how to hook a hose to a hydrant. Both of them are trained in rescues and operations to identify what type of fire or situation, how to deal with it safely. Cause when you have something going on in your city streets, people can get killed if the cops don't understand how to handle it or the firemen don't know how to deal with the blaze or what might be around it. That's flammable
Speaker 2 00:32:29 From Instagram. Keith, uh, they're asking for the number for your company again. So can you repeat it please? Yes.
Speaker 1 00:32:37 4 0 7 7 77 5 6 22.
Speaker 3 00:32:41 That's correct.
Speaker 2 00:32:42 That's right Alan, please let Keith saying when he has
Speaker 3 00:32:45 Something. Yes, that's it. That's okay. Alan, the phone number is (407) 777-5622. Uh, again, I have an Instagram page, which is aviation wealth. Uh, but again, that's also in the process of being, uh, built and fabricated. Right?
Speaker 1 00:33:00 Again, I only remember the number cuz I thought it was cool that he got 7 77 in
Speaker 3 00:33:06 There. Thank you. That's right. There's <laugh>, there's
Speaker 1 00:33:08 A reason. That's one of the more modern
Speaker 3 00:33:10 Designations
Speaker 1 00:33:11 For
Speaker 3 00:33:11 Plane. That's right. For Boeing. For Boeing aircraft. 7 77 triple seven.
Speaker 2 00:33:15 Okay, so I have a comment from Melby to you. Okay? Uh, she says, rescue and veteran has chronic P T S D and has attempted suicide six times within the year. Melby is talking, her first cousin was a colonel in the Air Force. And thank you for your service, Keith. You're welcome. Uh, so that's what she said. So I just want you to know
Speaker 3 00:33:37 You're welcome. Every I appre, uh, appreciate your, uh, your family and all the sacrifices. I appreciate it so much. Thank you.
Speaker 1 00:33:44 One of our regulars, she's a smart lady. She sends us interesting stuff too. Good morning, Mel.
Speaker 2 00:33:50 So I wanna talk about the service members because we have a, uh, uh, an ex-service member sitting with us. Somebody who has served. I wanna talk about the Covid 19 vaccine. I gotta tell you, I'm not a happy camper. And you can, you know, give us your thoughts, Keith, after I make this statement that for service members, they've made it an option for them to take the vaccine. And it bothers me because we're supposed to have a military that's ready for combat. We're all over the world. We are facing all kinds of different people situation. And the fact that they made it an option, you are not getting a lot of military people taking the vaccine. Some of them have gone along with Trump's conspiracy theory, so that's why they're not gonna take it. And others feel what the military tells me what to do all the time.
Speaker 2 00:34:44 And now I don't have to do it. I want to remind people, I did a show here talking about George Washington and the small PX outbreak during the Revolutionary War. And if it wasn't for him forcing Congress and making decisions about how to separate the troops, quarantining the troops, getting them all, and the surrounding areas, the vaccine that they needed at that time, we would not have won that war. Think about it. How, why did we make this an option? And Trump put that in place before Biden came in? I don't understand that. So Keith, maybe you have a different perspective as a military person,
Speaker 3 00:35:30 You know, as a military person, uh, in, in serving in in the service. You know, this vaccine is something, well, first off, we all know that this covid just, it's, it just took us by surprise, right? Uh, I don't think no one in a hundred years, I won't go far as a million would think of that, that we would have to run through this virus. But with the vaccine, it's, uh, a lot of military folks, uh, are, are are, we're hesitant with the government. You know, we, we know that the government has us in the best interest, but a lot of folks are a little, they're a little hesitant on my, you know, what am I putting into my body? Let's go back with the, uh, Tuskegee airmen, right? Uh, so a lot of times, and that's the, you know, some people, you've got 50% that's on board and you got 50% that says, well, uh, I'll, I'll wait and see. So it, I, that, that's my perspective on
Speaker 2 00:36:25 It, you know, but how do you feel about you have a military that won't be ready right there. That's correct. Especially if you're navy. If you are in, uh, situations where you're close together, you go to countries where this is, you know, an issue, right? All over the place, how can you be ready? Because when you look at the population as a whole, old people are rushing to get it. That's right. You know, predominantly white. They're rushing to get it. Yes. You know, uh, uh, elderly blacks and I understand about this Tuskegee airmen experiment. Yes. But that was a little different because they single out specific group, right? That's true. And this is something that's going for the whole country, for the country and not just a specific group of people. So how do you think about how could we be ready if, if if you don't have a,
Speaker 3 00:37:08 An option? And you're right, strategically, you, you can't be prepared strategically if outbreaks happens. Yeah. And there are things that the military put in place as far as, you know, making sure that when you go, uh, over overseas and you go into different, uh, platforms that Yeah. That you don't, all your medical conditions are okay. Correct. You know, you're fit for duty. So yeah, you're right. Strateg, usually you think that we would be on board, everyone would be on board on taking the vaccination so that again, you're a patriot that no one gets, uh, sick and injured. Uh, but again, you know, with the, this the New America, everyone is thinking that, hey, well, uh, if you're giving me that option, I, some folks are are in that option, are thinking, well, I'll just wait and see. So yeah, in the middle. But, but you're correct
Speaker 1 00:37:53 In the military code is the understanding. And, uh, I'll tell you why in a second. But it's called, as Keith was saying, fit for service. The point is that when I was first in probably 18, 18 and a half, I, I was facing a colonel that I didn't want to do something. And he looked at me and he had a lot of experience and he wasn't dumb. And he said to me, he said, I have a right to order you to do this because without it, you're not fit for service. You're not fit for. So we have, again, what people don't see with all our NIH and all this background, uh, scientists and arrests that we do, our state department puts out things of, uh, diseases that are around the world. So if you're gonna serve, be dropped someplace, you've gotta be injected so that you can deal with the environment you're gonna be in in a lot of cases.
Speaker 1 00:38:47 So when he said it, I logically knew that this kernel knew that his ass would not be worth anything if he gave me something that would kill me because then he'd have nobody to protect his ass. So I'm plain English. You gotta get a little smarter about this. If you have, when it comes to covid, if you have certain existing problems, lupus was one we've talked about, and some other ones be the five or 10% of the population that waits for the end till enough of us are inoculated that don't have those conditions so that we get this thing under control. Right? Period.
Speaker 2 00:39:22 And I wanna say that I'm looking at an article that came out on the 15th of, uh, February. The um, story is, is, uh, three sailors who currently have covid, uh, on a ship that saw an outbreak in the ship last year. And if you remember that wonderful, uh, individual who was, uh, I don't know what the titles of these navy guys are, but he was the commander or whatever of the ship, the way they humiliated him, because we had over a hundred plus sailors that had covid and they kept that ship out. They took him out of commission because he had the nerves to ask for help. This is under, like Keith says, under this new world of Trump where there's no respect for anything. We don't respect our military, we don't respect law enforcement, we respect nothing. And I have no clue why the American public has allowed this.
Speaker 2 00:40:27 Because let me tell you something, if you think it's easy and fun living under a dictatorship, then you keep going the way you are going and you'll find out it is not an easy thing to do. Even the ones that's supported, eventually they're gonna get you out of the way because you are a problem for them. Especially if you're poor, uneducated, ignorant. They don't want you. That's what Hitler did. He got rid of all these people that he thought were not good enough for Germany. And that included his own damn people. It wasn't just Jews, it wasn't just gypsies. It wasn't just old people. It was a lot of other people that he considered a burden to the country, just like Trump considers most of us a burden to the country. Remember that word?
Speaker 1 00:41:17 Again, what's happened is whether you're proud boys oath keepers, I know you have things you believe in and want to do. But the point is that when you finish helping a dictator take over a country, you'll find that you'll be sidelined. Cuz he doesn't need anybody to tell him what to do.
Speaker 2 00:41:34 Keith, Lisa from Facebook sent this for you. Thank you for your service. Her dad was in the Korean War, okay? So thank you for that, Lisa.
Speaker 3 00:41:44 Thank, thank you so much, Lisa, I appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 00:41:48 Um, I wanna talk about the Biden presidency. Now we're gonna go on to the asylum seekers that Trump kept from entering the country. Um, Biden has lifted that or made some changes. He has explained again that the majority of them, it's a long process, right? Only 25,000 out of the 65,000 that are looking for asylum in this country will be processed for. So for all of you who are going crazy and carrying on, because oh my god, our borders are open. I wanna ask the American public something. Please answer on Facebook and Instagram. We have a tremendous amount of illegal Canadians in America. We have over 50,000 illegal Irish in New York. We have thousands of illegal Chinese and Indians. And I won't even start talking about all the Europeans who overstay their visas here who are illegal. Why is it you are not crazy about that?
Speaker 2 00:42:59 And illegal is illegal. I don't have a problem with an immigration policy that says if you're an illegal, you can't be here. That doesn't bother me because a lot of us, and I came here legally, right? A lot of us pay and wait years before we are allowed in this country. But when you are just deciding that only black people and Latin people are the only ones that you are suddenly afraid of, that's the problem. So how can you reconcile in your mind the fact that you are okay? I guess as long as they look like you. White, blonde hair, blue eyes, brown eyes, I, I don't even know because the Chinese don't look like you and the Indians don't look like you, but you disregard all of these other illegal people that are here in America. I think you gotta control it. I come from a country called Panama and I gotta tell you, I'm not happy with all the Venezuelans coming in. We got Chinese crossing the borders coming in to take some of the jobs. We're a country of 3 million people. We don't even have half the wealth that this country has, right? All the Cubans and Mexicans that are coming into Panama. I, I mean, you know, I want that to be controlled to a certain extent, but control it for everybody. Not just a group of people.
Speaker 1 00:44:26 By the way, to support what my alter ego said, I firsthand saw and had the knowledge. I worked in the World Trade Center, I had an office there. I went in, I shipped stuff from other countries and the clearing places were in the trade center and those floors were gigantic. They were an acre in size. I went into one that was an Asian shipping company. I won't identify the country, doesn't matter. But the floor had tons of desks they put in there with Asians who were here processing the paper electronically and the rest of it before you had the PCs and the rest, they brought them in on visitors visas. Okay? They didn't worry about a job cause they put them to work in their company without registering them in our country, okay? And got apartments that they lived in. These were all illegal aliens cuz they didn't leave after their visitor's visa went up. So there are so many ways, and also as my alter ego has said, through Canada, a lot of countries have recognized they took over Canadian banks and other things, and they've sent people into our country through that. So it's a bigger issue than is discussed. Let's not just look at the poor immigrants who have bloody feet and are trying to walk in and look for asylum. That's not the whole iceberg.
Speaker 2 00:45:49 So we're gonna get ready to go for a commercial break. We do have a company that sponsors that. So we have to make sure that we give them, uh, some time and we'll be right back.

Our guest, um, our community Spotlight guest today is Keith Andrews.
Speaker 2 00:47:48 All right, we're back. So I wanna, we have a lot to cover and we don't have a lot of time, so we'll let Keith answer or put some things. I will make my stuff quick ladies, young women, and I don't care what color you are, what race you are, you have a South Carolina governor that signs an abortion ban. Planned Parenthood has sued. I don't understand why women are being lackadaisical. Look, if you can't have any more children, who the hell are you to be telling those who can, what they should and should not do with their bodies? Because if I'm raped, if I'm abused, and I don't wanna bring this child in, that is between me and whatever God I serve. Not you show me in the Bible somewhere that tells you that you can't allow people to have abortion while you storm the capitol, kill a police officer and vow to kill somebody. What's the difference? Life is life. If you believe in life, you cannot be killing people just because you don't like them. So I want young women to pay attention. Young men pay attention to how they're taking away your ability to make critical decisions in your life. Just because, and I don't know Keith, how you feel about this, but I just wanna bring it up.
Speaker 1 00:49:08 We, we had brought out under the abortion issue that they're talking about a woman carrying a baby, and we wanna tell them what they can or can't do with their body. Cause something is part of them yet. So we brought out the issue after January 6th that the president sent these people to the capitol and to abort is to stop something. In this case, they cut off people's lives, they aborted living human beings, not fetuses. So that's an abortion. That's an abortion. So that's what you was referencing. Yeah. Again,
Speaker 3 00:49:42 And this, and I, I can't say it, it's the New America, but hate is, it's easy to, uh, it's easy to hate, right? It's so, it's so easy to hate, but it's, uh, it's difficult to, um, to agree and, and like something, but everyone wants to fall into, uh, like again, uh, I, I work Garmin, uh, for instance, the avionics. I do Garmin, I do Honeywell, and I could have a spec. I I can only like a specific thing and I hate Avadine or I hate Honeywell, or I hate Bendex King. But no, I see good features and good qualities in any of 'em, in any of them you have. And, but we're so, but with the abortion thing, it's just, again, people want to fixate themselves on, on hate what I don't like until it happens to them. Then they realize that, oh, well now I see once the shoe is on the other foot, once they have a a chance to put on my shirt, we're, you know, we're, then they see, oh, well now I understand.
Speaker 3 00:50:43 Now it's, now it's, it's happened to my sister, it's happened to my mother, it happened, it happened to my aunt. Then. It's a whole difference perspective. But you have to be now, you know, we outed the world. I'm from good old Orlando, Florida, right? I had, I, I could have stayed here and, and you know, been working at, uh, Disney World, Martin Marietta, like, you know, whatever, uh, Siemens. But I had, I decided to go out and travel and see different perspectives and not listen to the, the wives tale or tales that other people have. So you, people have to be open minded. Um, I hate that, you know? Uh, and I never was that person to say, Hey, you can't tell a woman that they can and can't do something, especially when it comes to abortion or something like that. That's, that's critical.
Speaker 1 00:51:25 Well, beside his opinion, again, as I said, I recognize Keith has what we, I refer to as the American spirit. Our country allows you to use your abilities to develop something and make your own way. Make your own. And that's what he's doing. And that's why we brought him on.
Speaker 2 00:51:42 So I have some comments from Emily. Keith Wiggly Andrews. It's all about the money. Doesn't matter about race. It's, uh, it's about how green you are. Lisa, Republican Senator Lisa McClean from Michigan, a Trump law loyalist, voted not for covid relief and voted no for the equality. Uh, again, Senator Lisa McClean also was hanging out with the good old boys before the insurrection. She loves the Proud boys too. So we're talking about a senator that represents Michigan, and here we are. So it's all over.
Speaker 1 00:52:20 I actually think that people like that, who think this is all a big joke and a, uh, a falsehood, even though a half a million people have died from it already. It's, they should have the freedom to become an experiment and go into a proper lab and get injected with the virus. If they think it's a joke, it's a game. And let them see how it
Speaker 2 00:52:40 Works. I think what's more funny is watching people on Fox News who talk about this as fake, fake, fake, and they're at home with a mask. Or, I mean, come on, you've gotten everything. Come on supporters. Come on, supporters of Trump. Doesn't, doesn't it ever cross your mind if it's fake? Why do they have a mask on? Doesn't it cross your mind? You know why they're wealthy. They know what they're doing. They know that you listen to everything and do no research. You are the ones going out there, you know, not without a mask, but they have theirs on. Yes ma'am. So that there is something that should click in your brain. If you don't believe it, then you are not doing any of these things.
Speaker 1 00:53:20 As Keith has said, you know, the, it's easy to hate. That takes snow brains. But freedom is not free as you keep hearing. We've gotta keep working at it.
Speaker 2 00:53:29 Go ahead. I wanna bring up, I'm gonna run through these very quickly. Pfizer is beginning their trial on pregnant women, which is a good thing. There are a lot of pregnant women who decided that they wanted to participate. And I am always saluting these people who are willing to participate in these things because it makes it better for all of us. We have another one. The judge in Tennessee blocks the release of the man with the zip, zip ties in ca at the Capitol Riot. I gotta tell you, I'm a little bit upset that I don't understand why they haven't arrested all these people, including the senators and the house people that were involved. I'm not happy that they're releasing a lot of these people. Like, well, they didn't have any prior crime. Well, nobody ever has priors. There's always the first time. Does that mean that you let them go?
Speaker 2 00:54:18 I mean, the one who threatened, uh, uh, uh, Pelosi and stole her laptop, she gets to be at home. But if you took a minority kid who stole a candy or smoked a nickel bag of weed, you put him in jail for a hundred years. America, you need to start thinking about this. This is about fearness and application of the law across the country. I wanna talk about McDonald is aiming to diversify their leadership and have gender parody. By 2030, they have been accused a lot of, um, sexual harassment and discrimination. So we'll see where that goes. Another company that if they don't do what you want 'em to do, stop by McDonald's. You know, you've got Wendy's. You can make a hamburger in your own house. Just don't give them the money. That's all you have to do. It's very easy. Um, we've got Governor <laugh>, Gretchen Whitner, she can't get a break. These Republicans are trying to fight with her threatening to hit her threaten. I mean, a man actually saying I'm inviting her to a fist fight. How cowardly are you Republican men and women? How cowardly are you? You guys have absolutely nothing that you are imparting to your own children and you're not imparting nothing to ours, which means that you are destroying the fabric of the country by your behavior. Your behavior needs to change.
Speaker 1 00:55:52 Go ahead. This is my alter ego said about what George Washington set an example with smallpox and what to do and how to leave Trump set the opposite. So, uh, if any of you know an attorney who knows federal courts and laws, as I said, I wanna file on what's called it's a legal principle, depraved indifference. So if nobody else puts Trump away, I will be happy to file
Speaker 2 00:56:15 On it. I wanna talk about the US Supreme Court. They're all in on everything with the insurrections, but they did put the pull, the plug on these election related lies by Donald Trump in the Republican Party. But what has that done? Fuel them to put laws to take away your right to vote. Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, here in Florida. Look at what Governor DeSantis has just introduced. More ways to keep blacks than Latinos than anybody that doesn't look like him. And have money from voting. Pay attention, pay attention. Um, wanna talk a little bit, and I'm sorry that I'm rushing. Um, and I don't care about Trump and McConnell and their feud. They're all in on it. Who cares? I mean, let's talk about the, um, black businesses. Three minutes. Covid 19 has wiped out nearly half of black businesses. Uh, I will encourage people of color or anybody, but I will say people of color, please support your black businesses.
Speaker 2 00:57:22 Why are you not going to your little supermarkets in your area and you travel to go to Publix where they're giving money to the Republican party? Let me tell you something. The company that I work for, I buy nothing from them. You know why? Because I look at their financial reporting and I can tell you how much money they're giving to the Republican party across the country. The people who have their foot on your neck and you are willingly spending a thousand dollars for a phone and you putting bling on your phone and you are not looking at their financials. Where are they spending their money? I don't care what advertisement they put out there, but where is their money going? And that's what you guys gotta start researching. You've got Google start looking at that. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 00:58:14 Hey, again, um, I, I wanna thank Alan. I wanna thank you guys for having me, and thank you for inviting me out, giving me a platform to, uh, display aviation wealth.
