Behind The Numbers
Is my CEO a Psychopath? – Jack McCullough

Behind The Numbers

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 5, 2023 31:47


Research suggests that individuals who lack empathy and remorse and possess manipulative tendencies are drawn to leadership positions in companies. Surprisingly, the incidence of psychopathy among CEOs is comparable to that of the prison population, with up to 1 in 5 corporate executives exhibiting psychopathic traits. This alarming statistic highlights the significant presence of psychopathy among CEOs, especially when compared to the general population where only 1 in 100 individuals are psychopaths. In a fascinating conversation, Dave Bookbinder delves into the subject with Jack McCullough, the President of CFO Leadership Council and author of "Secrets of Rockstar CFOs" and "The Psychopathic CEO: An Executive Survival Guide." Jack, who founded The CFO Leadership Council in 2006, has successfully established a platform for chief financial officers to access top-notch professional development programs and networking events. With his extensive experience as the Director of KPMG's Global Innovation Center and as a CFO for 26 startups, Jack understands the challenges faced by corporate leaders in today's business landscape. His expertise has earned him recognition and media attention, with interviews on Bloomberg, CNN, and Fox Business Network, as well as mentions in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, CFO Magazine, and Business Finance Magazine. Jack's contribution to the field of finance extends beyond his role as a CFO. He has developed a venture capital course for Harvard Business School and MIT Sloan MBA candidates, solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in the industry. Furthermore, he is the visionary behind the highly acclaimed MIT Sloan CFO Summit, regarded as the most influential conference for financial leaders worldwide. In this episode Jack tells us how to identify a psychopathic CEO including some famous ones;  how to survive working with a psychopathic CEO;  what separates a good CFO from an elite CFO, and more!   About the Host: Dave Bookbinder is the person that clients reach out to when they need to know what their most important assets are worth. He's a corporate finance executive with a focus on business and intellectual property valuation. Known as a collaborative adviser, Dave has served thousands of client companies of all sizes and industries.    Dave is the author of two #1 best-selling books about the impact of human capital (PEOPLE!) on the valuation of a business enterprise called The NEW ROI: Return On Individuals & The NEW ROI: Going Behind The Numbers.  He's on a mission to change the conversation about how the accounting world recognizes the value of people's contributions to a business enterprise, and to quantify what every CEO on the planet claims: “Our people are this company's most valuable asset.”

#62 - The Snooze Button

Matt's back, and this time he's tackling the perennial debate: Is the snooze button a friend or foe when it comes to your sleep and overall health? He shines a spotlight on an intriguing study led by Dr. Tina Sundelin and her team - one that challenges our conventional wisdom about snooze buttons. Surprisingly, their research reveals that snooze button usage is quite common, especially among night owls and younger folks. What's even more unexpected is that snoozing may not have the detrimental impact on mood, cognitive performance, or cortisol levels that we once thought. However, there's a catch: snooze users end up with about 20% less sleep in the last half-hour of their sleep cycle.While Matt acknowledges these thought-provoking findings, he remains cautious and stresses the importance of cherishing natural, uninterrupted sleep patterns. He suggests that more extensive, long-term research may be needed to fully understand the potential consequences of snooze button habits on our well-being. Along the way, Matt sprinkles in fascinating tidbits about the history of alarm clocks and shares some unconventional alarm clock designs that add humor and curiosity to the conversation. Whether you're a die-hard snooze button fan or someone on a quest to enhance your morning routine, this episode serves up valuable insights into the science of sleep and waking up. Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way. The good people at InsideTracker are one of the sponsors of this week's episode, and they are generously offering a special 25% off any one of their programs for anyone who uses the above link during the time window of this episode.

BlazeTV contributor Eric July and Blaze Media digital strategist Logan Hall join the show to discuss Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Paxton filed the lawsuit this week, eight months after announcing he was investigating Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson for potentially lying to the public about the success of their respective COVID-19 vaccines. Paxton's lawsuit alleges that Pfizer violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, claiming that Pfizer “engaged in false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices by making unsupported claims." Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis schooled California Governor Gavin Newsom in last night's Fox News debate hosted by Sean Hannity. During the one-on-one debate, DeSantis referred to the Golden State governor as "a slick, slippery politician." Newsom denied running to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president. This morning, the House of Representatives voted to expel scandal-plagued New York Republican Congressman George Santos. This makes him the first House lawmaker to be expelled in more than 20 years. Surprisingly, 105 Republicans joined Democrats in the decision — even before Santos had a chance to defend himself in a trial. The charges against Santos include 23 counts related to wire fraud, identity theft, falsification of records, credit card fraud, and other offenses.

Honesty is an important virtue. Parents want to develop it in their children. Close relationships depend upon it. Employers value it in their employees. Surprisingly, however, philosophers have said very little about the virtue of honesty over the past fifty years. In Honesty: The Philosophy and Psychology of a Neglected Virtue (Oxford UP, 2021), Christian B. Miller aims to draw much greater attention to this neglected virtue. The first part of the book looks at the concept of honesty. It takes up questions such as: What does honesty involve? What are the motives of an honest person? How does practical wisdom relate to honesty? Miller explores what connects the many sides of honesty, including not lying, not stealing, not breaking promises, not misleading others, and not cheating. He argues that the honest person reliably does not intentionally distort the facts as she takes them to be. Miller then examines the empirical psychology of honesty. He takes up the question of whether most people are honest, dishonest, or somewhere in between. Drawing extensively on recent studies of cheating and lying, the model Miller articulates ultimately implies that most of us have a long way to go to reach an honest character. Honesty: The Philosophy and Psychology of a Neglected Virtue provides both a richer understanding of what our character looks like, as well as what the goal of being an honest person actually involves. Miller then leaves it up to us to decide if we want to take steps to shrink the character gap between the two. Christian B. Miller is the A. C. Reid Professor of Philosophy at Wake Forest University. He is currently the Director of the Honesty Project. He is the author of over 100 academic papers as well as four books, including Moral Character: An Empirical Theory (2013), Character and Moral Psychology (2014), The Character Gap: How Good Are We? (2017), and Moral Psychology (2021). He is a science contributor for Forbes, and his writings have also appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Dallas Morning News, Slate, The Conversation, Newsweek, Aeon, and Christianity Today. Miller is the editor or co-editor of Essays in the Philosophy of Religion (OUP),Character: New Directions from Philosophy, Psychology, and Theology (OUP),Moral Psychology, Volume V: Virtue and Character (MIT Press), Integrity, Honesty, and Truth Seeking (OUP), and The Continuum Companion to Ethics (Continuum Press) Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Don't Statues of Saints violate the "2nd Commandment" against GRAVEN IMAGES? How can Catholics justify BOWING and OFFERING INCENSE to the statues/icons of saints? Shouldn't all glory go to GOD and not SAINTS? Aren't these IDOLS? Today on the Pod, the Armchair Exegete (Nico) fleshes out the biblical theology behind making images/statues/icons of saints and giving forms of honor to them. Surprisingly, the answer is deeply rooted in Israel's use of images in Temple Worship and the consequences of theosis ('becoming more like God') that enables a saint in Heaven to become a reflection of God that can be honored liturgically in a way that glorifies God.

Have you achieved the American Dream? Actually–how do you even define the American Dream? Sometimes it can feel like that phrase is meaningless and politicized but that idea is such a cornerstone of what makes us the United States. It's foundational, but it can sometimes feel like it's falling apart. Enter David Leonhardt's new book–he's a columnist at the New York Times and heads their The Morning newsletter. In the book, Ours Was the Shining Future, he sets out to quantify the American Dream and tell a story of how it's changed over the last few decades. And for those who might feel intimidated by economics, Leonhardt's book might just be the perfect entry point: the personal narratives of the people who shaped our history bring this book from the theoretical to the concrete.  This insightful, comprehensive, human book provides a perfect jumping off point to examine the long, imperfect story of our ongoing project as Americans, striving to realize the promises of democracy and capitalism–and all the successes and failures along the way so far. We can learn from the past, and David, armed with data but also with compassion and optimism, is an excellent guide.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

7 Backdoor Roth IRA Mistakes to Avoid, #176

Want to make a Roth IRA contribution, but you earn over the adjusted gross income limit? Never fear, the backdoor Roth conversion is here! On this episode, I'm doing a deep dive into backdoor Roth conversions and the seven mistakes most people make when attempting this financial maneuver. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... What is a backdoor Roth IRA? [1:44] The Pro-Rata rule [3:49] Keeping IRA costs down [6:36] Completing the necessary paperwork [8:02] Why you need to invest [9:40] Reconciling your IRA providers [11:07] Making sure you have the correct retirement plan [11:34] Understanding the Backdoor Roth A backdoor Roth IRA conversion offers a workaround for contributing to a Roth IRA when your income surpasses the set limits. Typically, direct contributions to a Roth IRA have income thresholds. If you earn more than the specified modified adjusted gross income for your filing status, you're restricted from contributing directly. However, with the backdoor Roth, you can sidestep this limitation. The process involves making a non-deductible contribution to a traditional IRA and then converting that amount into a Roth IRA. This method allows contributions regardless of income, but it's crucial to follow specific procedures to avoid potentially costly errors. Mistakes in the process could lead to tax liabilities or complications, so careful attention to the conversion steps is essential to make the most of this strategy. Avoiding Pro-Rata One of the easiest mistakes when using a backdoor Roth conversion is forgetting the Pro-Rata rule. If you've got other IRAs—SEP, SIMPLE, or traditional—those sums factor into your conversion calculation. Imagine intending to move $6,500 from a traditional IRA to a Roth, thinking it's tax-free. But if that $6,500 is only a fraction of a larger total, say $100,000, only 6.5% of your conversion is tax-exempt. You end up paying tax twice! First for the non-deductible IRA contribution, then for the conversion. To avoid this, you want to clear out those IRAs before the year's end. The trick lies in removing any other IRA funds from your name before the backdoor Roth maneuver. You could shuffle the money into an employer's 401k if you have one or create a self-employed 401k if applicable. Surprisingly, even starting a small business could qualify you to set up a 401k plan, allowing you to move those funds out of your name easily. Just remember if you plan to contribute to this new plan, it should match your earnings from that business. But if your goal is to simply clear the path for a backdoor Roth IRA, this method can do the trick. Listen to this episode for more backdoor Roth conversion tips!

“Forty million Americans have stopped attending church in the past 25 years. That's something like 12 percent of the population, and it represents the largest concentrated change in church attendance in American history.” Religious abuse, moral failure of church leaders, and the pressures of culture that lead to deconstruction of faith all contribute to “dechurching.” Surprisingly, research reveals a less apparent reason driving the statistic cited above: a slow drift away from church participation.In this episode, Autumn and Hunter discuss an Atlantic article by Jake Meador that examines this slow drift. Meador suggests a response to waning participation in American churches. He states that churches in our cultural climate must call their people to a more committed, robust, interdependent way of being the body of Christ.Resources mentioned in this episode:"The Misunderstood Reason Millions of Americans Stopped Going to Church" by Jake Meador"The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?" by Jim Davis, Michael Graham, et al

Chris was trying to create an image using ChatGPT for his Polyscope Media site, specifically for a post about date nights. Surprisingly, all his prompts, even the simplest ones, were rejected due to content policy violations. This experience got him thinking about the restrictions we're placing on AI and its implications for creativity and innovation. He laments that every new technology, from blogs to podcasts to AI, initially offers freedom and innovation, but soon, control mechanisms are introduced, stifling creativity. Chris observes that the time gap between technology release and control imposition is rapidly shrinking. The heart of the matter is the potential of AI. Chris emphasizes that AI, being the sum total of human knowledge, could offer solutions to problems beyond human capability, but only if allowed to think without constraints. The constant guardrails, while necessary for safety, are also hindering AI's potential to think outside the human box. Chris strongly advocates for an unfettered AI, not connected to harmful mechanisms, but free to ideate and respond. This freedom could lead AI to solve complex issues humanity struggles with, utilizing the vast expanse of human knowledge it has absorbed. The episode challenges us to think: should we continue to impose strict limits on AI, or should we explore its full potential in a controlled environment to benefit humanity? Can AI think better than humans if allowed to roam free? Share your thoughts in the comments! Do you think we should embrace unfettered AI, or are the risks too great?

Different Strokes for Different FolksSalvation means different things to different people. For some, it's a “get out of hell free” card, the cosmic fire insurance policy they checked off and filed away years ago. For others, it's trying to be a good, moral, upstanding person and attend church— at least on Easter and Christmas. Most don't give it much thought beyond hoping to end up in the Pleasant Place and not the Hot Place when they die.But is that really the extent of what Jesus accomplished on the cross? Did He endure scourging and nails just to offer a slight upgrade in our afterlife accommodations, leaving our day-to-day lives largely untouched? I don't think so.I'm convinced salvation encompasses far more than this shallow version we've settled for. The eternal life Christ promised involves a radical transformation into new creations, holy and acceptable, right here and now. But so few seem to grasp this truth.I understand why, though. I used to view salvation the same way. As a young believer, I prayed for forgiveness, believing Jesus' death paid the penalty for my sin. I looked forward to heaven but figured holiness would have to wait. Meanwhile, I assumed grace gave me the green light to keep living as I pleased. And so I did.What changed my perspective? The book of Romans.Buried in Paul's masterful exposition hides a powerful secret that sparked the Protestant Reformation, but remains obscured to many believers today. Let's dust off this treasure and explore how the gospel offers, not just a ticket to paradise when we die, but victory over sin's grip in our daily lives.The Path to Real ChangeChances are you know the famous verse that ignited reform in Luther's heart back in 1515: “The just shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17). Luther had tried everything to obtain salvation: self-denial, penance, indulgences, pilgrimages, and even becoming a monk. At last, thankfully, he finally grasped that a man is justified not by works, but through faith alone (Rom. 3:28).Yet mere intellectual assent cannot change hearts. I know, I've tried. Mere head knowledge never hindered Paul from persecuting Christians, but an encounter with the risen Christ transformed him in an instant.In the same way, justification marks only the beginning of the work of salvation in our lives. The just are not only declared righteous, but enabled to live righteously through an ongoing process called sanctification. Surprisingly, this practical component of redemption receives little pulpit airtime today, though the epistles address it constantly. It's the part of our salvation experience that primarily rests on our shoulders.Sanctification means being set apart for holy use. It means growing into the likeness of Christ. And it is how we glorify the Lord today. Just as temple implements were consecrated for God's service, we who trust in Christ are sanctified and empowered to serve the Lord rather than ourselves. Although complete sinlessness awaits eternity, believers can receive real deliverance from the mastery of evil in the here and now, today. This is what it means to live out what Jesus promised as the “abundant life” found only in Him (John 10:10). Consider these promises:For sin shall not have dominion over you – Romans 6:14.For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live – Romans 8:13.His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue – 2 Peter 1:3.“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you” – Acts 1:8.Through Christ, God enables His children to overcome sinful...

What do you long for in life? If you could pick one thing that you desire above all else what would it be? Would it be death? Probably not. Surprisingly, the greatest saint would probably desire death over anything else in life. Not an early death or a death of their own choosing; rather, they would see death as the gateway to their true home and anticipate the joy of that encounter with much hope. This may not be something you normally think about but it's worth doing so. When a person has Heaven as their greatest desire it means, in part, that they have come to such a point in life that the things of this world do not matter to them. They long for Heaven and to be with God eternally. This does not undermine their love for family and friends. This love is eternal and will remain with them in Heaven to an even greater degree. The key to this desire is the realization that Heaven will be so glorious and fulfilling that there is much excitement about obtaining it. This may not be your normal way of thinking about death but it is worth pondering and examining your earthly desires in the light of this ultimate goal (See Diary #1573).Spend time today pondering death. But do so in a new way. Look at it not as an end to your life; rather, see it as the beginning of a new and glorious life of perfect fulfillment. Reflecting upon death does not mean you wish for it to come soon. We should only desire to obtain Heaven in accord with God's timing. But, nonetheless, we should desire it and desire it with all our soul. In fact, keeping our eyes on this ultimate prize will help us walk through the hardships we endure here and now. Lord, of all the many desires and goals I have in life I pray that I may desire Heaven above all else. Please free me from the foolish desires of this life and set my heart solely on You.

Jacque Jones grew up in San Diego and spent endless hours on the baseball diamond learning the fundamentals of baseball and foundational life lessons weaved into the game. His uncle encouraged Jacque play with the older, bigger kids at his local park which forced Jacque to toughen up and improve his skills. By the time he entered high school it was clear Jacque was an elite athlete with a future in baseball. Surprisingly he was looked by many college programs and not heavily recruited, until he was offered a full ride to USC by Frank Cruz and Mike Gillespie Jacque was in the starting line up as a true freshman and quickly established himself as one of the best players in the nation. In 1994 he hit legendary status after hitting 3 home runs against LSU in Baton Rouge in the NCAA regional finals. In 1995 he helped lead USC to a national championship where they were beat by Cal State Fullerton who had a kid named Mark Kotsay (currently the Oakland A's Manager) who was the 1995 college player of the year and had a extraordinary 17 year major league career. Jacque was drafted in the 2nd round by the Minnesota Twins and selected to team USA in 1996 where he put up video game numbers hitting .404 with 15 home runs and 49 RBIs in 37 games. Jacque had an impressive 10 year big league career with a career batting average of .277, with 165 homers, 630 RBI, .326 OBP and a .448 SLGs selected. A long with Torii Hunter and Shannon Stewart he made up what was known to be the best outfield in Major League Baseball. He was put on the Hall of Fame ballot in 2014 but did not receive enough votes. After retiring from Baseball he spent a few more years in the game as a hitting coach before moving on to other entrepreneurial and philanthropic pursuits.  His All Hands on Deck foundation (www.Allhandsondeck11.com) is a charity that mentors, supports and provides resources for underprivileged inner city teenagers in San Diego.   In this episode Jacque takes us through his baseball journey starting as a kid in San Diego, his impactful college years and USC and his impressive big league career.

Pursuing Freedom
Laundromat Resource: An unconventional, yet surprisingly successful, story about financial freedom with Jordan Berry

Such an inspirational episode with Jordan Berry! Here are just a few of the things we discussed: The good, the bad, the ugly… How Jordan turned around a loss of over 6 figures owning laundromats and still thinks you should buy one. Looking to buy a laundromat, the optimal distance to be from your first one. The right people in the right seat and your Cashflow Quadrant With a base hit laundromat deal, not a home run deal, just a base hit laundromat deal, 99% of Americans can replace their income with one to three laundromats. …and so much more. About Jordan was a pastor for 15 years and transitioned out of full-time ministry into buying a laundromat. His experience buying his first laundromat was not a good one. Instead of replacing his salary, as he expected, his laundromat lost $2,000 dollars per month for well over a year. Desperate to find help to turn his business around, he frantically searched for someone to guide him to profitability. He found no rescue.  After finally stopping the bleeding, he decided to share the hard-earned (and expensive) lessons he learned on a blog. And then on a YouTube channel. And then, on a quest to find out how the best laundromat owners operated their businesses, he started a podcast interviewing laundromat owners and other industry professionals.  These platforms turned into Laundromat Resource, an education and community platform for laundromat owners and future laundromat owners to learn, share best practices, and connect with one another.

My Tummy Tuck Surgery with Dr Joshua Zuckerman

Join me today with the plastic surgeon responsible for my beautiful tummy tuck, Manhattan's Dr. Joshua Zuckerman. In today's episode, I'll be taking you through my transformative journey with a tummy tuck, joined by the skilled plastic surgeon who performed my abdominoplasty on November 3, 2022. It was a significant day for me, a blend of excitement and apprehension. My belly had always protruded slightly, a result of muscular structure rather than excess weight. Regardless of shedding pounds, it remained prominent. I accepted it for most of my life, perceiving it as an inherent part of my physique. I was fit and lean, and it wasn't a deterrent, to say the least! However, the reality was that it did bother me, especially in certain clothing, leading me to strategically conceal it. Surprisingly, I even won two world bikini shows with that bit of protrusion. I attempted to embrace this flaw rather than succumb to complete self-consciousness, yet deep down, it did affect me. Approaching 60 nearly three years ago, I noticed a change in my abdominal area. Despite not gaining weight, my discomfort in clothing escalated to the point where getting dressed became an ordeal. I started feeling disheartened about the body I had diligently maintained. In September 2022, after selling my fitness studio and effectively retiring, I finally had the opportunity to address something I'd long desired—eliminating the loose skin that had accumulated as I aged. That bigger belly roll turned out to be excess skin! After consulting around 10 surgeons and considering various suggestions, I chose Dr. Joshua Zuckerman, a seasoned Manhattan-based plastic surgeon known for numerous successful tummy tuck surgeries, a compassionate approach, an attentive team, and a fully equipped surgical center in his office. The rest, as they say, is history! My confidence in my body has never been higher. I hope my story can provide reassurance to anyone contemplating this surgery yet apprehensive about it. I, too, fretted about the resulting scar, but it's gradually fading, and the surgeon created a new, adorable belly button, leaving me with a sculpted appearance. Nonetheless, it's crucial to emphasize that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss solution. Before considering this procedure, ensure you're within 10-15 pounds of your ideal weight. Enjoy the show!

To whom or what are we grateful? Can we be abstract or vague about gratitude? I believe that as we are first grateful to our Creator, then we condition and position ourselves to be authentically grateful to others … in whatever context we relate to them: family, friendship, business/work, our place in the larger world, and so on. Gratitude is like PRIMING a PUMP. Surprisingly, as we decide to be thankful, it releases a spring of gratitude, a flow of thankfulness.

A pioneering application of artificial intelligence at Woodside Energy is finally ready for wider deployment in oil and gas.    I learned about this use case back in 2016, at APPEA's annual conference in Perth, where Woodside's data science team presented their work. Surprisingly, few companies bothered to replicate this innovation, even though it was both proven and easy to execute. Many oil and gas facilities have been in production for decades, and want to be in production for decades more. Not only do these assets handily outlast their designers, but they're now outlasting their maintenance engineering staff, operations, logistics managers, and key suppliers. In short, the complete original workforce. But the oil and gas industry has long relied on the memory of its people to recall critical information about its assets, information beyond the kinds of data easily found in modern systems. Answers to questions like “why did we design it this way”, and “have we encountered this problem before” depend on the memories of workers. Oil and gas companies cannot reliably use ChatGPT, as it was trained on the whole of the internet, and is a mix of fact and fiction, science and religion, truth and lies, and faulty logic. However, training a private version of ChatGPT unlocks a huge use case that was proven many years ago.

Part of the Nonprofit.ist nonprofit podcast network.    We interviewed Carol Hamilton from Gracesocialsector.com about how nonprofit strategic planning could be improved. Not involving enough people. Often only senior leadership and the board do the planning, thinking they alone have the vision. But all levels of staff should participate to gain buy-in. Surprisingly, there is often 80% agreement on goals across roles. Failing to operationalize the plan. A common mistake is creating an overly complex, long plan that gathers dust. The plan should be simple, focused, and integrated into existing processes. Define who will do what by when for the first year. Crafting an unrealistic plan. While visionary, the plan must connect to current organizational capacity. If the goals are too aspirational without a path to achieve them, they won't be implemented. Having too many goals. Limit the plan to 3-5 key goals maximum. No organization can successfully focus on more than that at once. Not designating responsibilities and timelines. For each goal, define concrete action steps and who will complete them by when. Don't worry about years 2-5. Just focus on year one.

Surprisingly, even McCarthy's defenders have been supportive of Burchett. While some joked about it, others see the seriousness of McCarthy's actions. People ask if this is an indication of where the Republican Party is, Burchett says no, it's an indication of where Kevin McCarthy is. Burchett says he has no plans to file an ethics complaint as he doesn't believe it will help matters. He plans to take the high road and get back to the business of running the country. Speaker Johnson's C.R. passed with only 2 Democrats and 93 Republicans voting against it so whose bill is it? Burchett says everyone should know that in it is funding for the Taliban, $10million dollars through the U.N. and all they do is fund our enemies. Burchett says we have to do better. While the Democrats got what they wanted in this C.R., Johnson wanted to pass a budget and everyone's worried about losing the majority. Burchett says he's worried about losing the country.
