Calls on the WORD Talk line about Starlink and TSA Workers

What this episode covers

00:00 I got a question for you guys out there and this is like a personal thing. um Does anybody out there have Starlink for their internet? Anybody have Starlink? If you do, either call me or text me please because I've got some questions about it. uh I'm paying a whole lot of money every month at my house for our internet. And while I've never had a problem, 00:31 The Y file go out on occasion. I mean, very, very seldom, but the Y file drop out for a few minutes here and there every now and then. like the things I run off the ethernet, which is directly from the router, I've never had a problem with that. And my upload and download speeds, I'm going to talk about like the 600s. And that's a lot more than I actually need. Looking to just check on some options because 01:00 Yeah, I've got that. JJ's giving me advice. I've got that, but that's what I'm trying to get out of. So Starlink's got some pretty good plans right now. If you use it, I would love to hear from you. All right, now I want to go to Ken Inebo. Ken, welcome. How are you? Thanks so much for taking the call. I'm listening to all your show today and all on the Starlink. It's what my topic, as you know, 01:29 I don't know why Elon Musk hasn't helped the Iranian people oh that need to know and coordinate maybe a move against the government like they did, like he did with the Ukrainians need to start a link. But anyway, moving on to TSA workers, uh, I found out something yesterday and it just struck me. It's out of the blue, but it's obvious. It's an obvious question. And I asked it yesterday. TSA qualifies for unemployment benefits and they're as federal workers. All they do is file with their state. 01:58 They can even file online. Same as anybody else who's out of work, temporary, whatever, they're not getting paid. I looked it up. They file and then the quarters, the highest quarters, it all goes back to basic formula for unemployment benefits. So I'll have to say, I'm not going to waste any more of my tears about the TSA workers. Well, why not? Wait a Why not? What, I mean, what, what is it? What's, what's the problem? You don't like these people getting, you know, 02:25 missing a month of salary or two months now? They can draw unemployment. They can if they go to work. They can if they go to work. No, sorry, Charlie. looked it up. they get paid, are you there? I am here, yes. Okay, if they get paid, which they are starting to get paid, then they apply that back to the state where they drew the unemployment. That's a fact. Okay, all right. Well, Ken, I hate to... 02:55 disappoint you, you see, I went through all of that during COVID. I got furloughed. In other words, three different times during COVID, my company down in Charleston told me, we can't pay you for the next week. So you're going to have to go home and you're just going to have to sit there. You cannot answer emails. You cannot answer text messages. 03:22 You cannot answer a call from this company until this date. And that was the only way that I could draw that unemployment for that week. And that was three different times I had to do that. You cannot, you cannot do work. 03:38 All right. So, and by the way, they're not fired. They're not fired. They're not even furloughed. So let's go to Jeff and Easley. Jeff, welcome. But wait a minute. Hold on. hold on just a second. I'll put you back on hold, Jeff. But to say you don't have any compassion for those people? Come on, Ken. You're being a little uh very ridiculous. All right. Now we'll go to Jeff and Easley. Jeff, how are you? What's up, man? You? What's up? 04:08 I got a way different subject, but I want to know who Eric Swalwell thinks who the hell he is, man. Can you explain that when he needs to be in prison? Yeah, I agree 100%. And in fact, Jeff, we're to be talking about old Eric Swalwell coming up in the next segment. Let's go to John in Clemson. John, welcome. 04:33 john are you there yet roger what my car yes okay ...
