That is like I've never even seen Foreign Affairs do a blurb for anyone before.

But it's a fantastic book, and I would love everybody to go out there and get it, and it sounds like you're working on another one.

Thanks so much, Rick, for coming on the show and co-hosting with me today.

This is awesome.

All right.

Thanks, everyone, for listening.

Until next week, truth in the barrel.

Hey everyone, welcome back to a new Devil's Cut edition of Truth in the Barrel.

Do you think you could live off what you were making in 2011?

From tariffs to skyrocketing grocery and housing prices, the answer is pretty obvious, no.

Unfortunately, that has been the reality for retirees on the Kentucky public pension system.

Today on Truth in the Barrel, we're joined by Larry Totten, the president of the Kentucky public retirees, to talk about the challenges facing people on state pensions and what they need from the Kentucky legislature right now.

Larry, great to have you with us today.

Thank you for being here.

Yeah.

And you are currently the president of the Kentucky Public Retirees and have been doing that for a while, right?

Yes.

Right.

You got to take care of this.

Now, let's start back, though, because you said 35 years.
