Not just four people are leaving, 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: four tax payers are leaving. So that's that's a lot 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: of tax revenue that's going right out the door. And 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: he's saying, you know what, you want to keep voting 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: for these people here in Massachusetts. You love your illegals, 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: you'll pay for the illegals. But we're not paying for 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: the illegals anymore, Tony, if we can just pick up 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: where we left off, so I know you're out the door. 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: You said you're going to be done. You're leaving very soon. 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: Is there, in particular a place where you guys are 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: planning to go.

But I mean, after 19 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: this winter, we rarely decided The Hills northern North Carolina Virginia. 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 2: They're gonna stay away from Washington, go up in the mountains. 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,639 Speaker 2: I mean, you just you can't find the perfect place. 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: And as far as there's people that can't leave, we 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: understand that and stuff. But what's gonna happen is it's 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: gonna get so bad in this state that those Cook 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: politicians they're gonna take their money and go up to 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: the lakefront on Winnipesake and go. 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 3: I got my money. 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: And everyone's holding it. The only way you fight it 29 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: is if you don't like it, you hold these people out. 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: If it's gonna not voted out, then pay for it. 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: So, Tony, is there anything that can happen?

Fortunately 87 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: it was made up by smart people that moved here 88 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 4: and need jugs, which is great. 89 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 5: But the reason why they pay. 90 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: They pay, you know, fourteen dollars an hour to a 91 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 4: lot of the employees here. 92 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 5: That's all you need to live here, Jeff. 93 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 4: People live here, you know, you get you know, a 94 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 4: couple making you know, fifty six sixty. 95 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 5: Grand a year together.

That's the big difference. 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: And Dan, what I say because a lot of people 99 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: are texting, a few have called in, but they're emailing, 100 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: texting saying that the cost of rent and the cost 101 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: of housing in particular, and the cost of insurance has skyrocketed. 102 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, Dan, you're right, maybe for other things, fifty 103 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: sixty grand is enough.

I mean you're right. 175 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean they've really not stories. 176 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 5: Jet they're real. 177 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: They're real. No, I hear you, Dan as always very 178 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: informative call. Thank you so much, my friend. No, I 179 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: mean the liberals have destroyed San Francisco. But I'm telling you, 180 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: twenty years ago was beautiful and we were actually even 181 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: thinking saying, hey, what if we ever lived here? Would 182 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: we live here? And I was like, well, no, the 183 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: fault line, I mean, forget the liberals destroying it. I'm like, no, 184 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to live in a place where there 185 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: could be a massive earthquake. Call me crazy, So you 186 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: know that's that's you know, I'm like that though I'm 187 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: very conservative in all anyway, my personal life trusts me 188 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: very conservative. Six one seven two six, six sixty eight 189 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: sixty eight is the number. Okay, lot of reaction. Family 190 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: members are texting me. So this is from my sister 191 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: who lives in Arizona. By the way, Jeff, I will 192 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: take a trailer park in Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma, or Arkansas, 193 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: oh for any wacky blue state. Hell I would go 194 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: so far as to say Massachusetts is a disaster zone. 195 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: So she's basically saying, no, no way would I ever 196 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: live in a blue state, and certainly not a blue, 197 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: blue blue state like Massachusetts or California or elsewhere. So 198 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: she's basically saying, I'm with the exodus. If you can 199 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: leave a blue state, leave that blue state six one 200 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Now another 201 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: friend of mine texted me and he said, Jeff, what 202 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: about all the alligators in Florida. Now that is a 203 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: very good point I have to say. As you know, 204 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: we went to Tampa over the Christmas break, small little 205 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: cruise anyway, all the family was there, so we had 206 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: a nice little cruise. But we managed to stay a 207 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: couple of nights in Tampa Bay. By the way, Tampa 208 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: Bay beautiful, east coast of Florida, beautiful, gorgeous. But that's 209 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: another reason why I wouldn't stay in Florida, not because 210 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: it's beautiful. So we stayed at a hotel and there 211 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: was a nice restaurant maybe I don't know, three four 212 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: hundred yards away, and so we went out. It's about 213 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: eight eight thirty at night, and I said, hey, is 214 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: there a nice restaurant nearby? They go, yeah, yeah, it's 215 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: just like five minutes whatever, ten minutes walking, just you know, 216 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: right down, just keep going. I said, well, is it safe? 217 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: He goes, what do you mean is it safe? I go, 218 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, is there crime? 219 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 3: Is it? 220 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: You know? I go, I come from mass Massachusetts, you know, 221 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: greater Boston area. There's a lot of crime in Massachusetts. 222 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: He goes, oh, no, no, no, you're not going to get 223 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: mugged or anything, if that's your question. The only thing 224 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: is there's the alligators. I'm like, I saw. I'm like, 225 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: what do you mean the alligators. He's like, yeah, there's 226 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: a lot of gaters. I go no, no, you mean 227 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: in the water. He goes, No, no, sometimes you'll see them, 228 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: like on the path. He goes, but no, no, don't 229 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: worry about it. They're more afraid of people than the 230 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: people are afraid of them. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, 231 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: whoa whoa. No, no, hey, I don't do alligators. Understand 232 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: that I don't do alligators. Now, my family convinced me 233 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: to go with them to dinner. They were calling me 234 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: check in and you know other things. I can't say 235 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: it on the air, but they were making fun of me, 236 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: laughing at my expense. Now the whole time, I'm telling you, 237 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: I had a mini panic attack. I'm walking down that path, 238 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking left, I'm looking right. Every sound, I'm like, 239 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's a gater. That's a gator. My 240 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: heart's like drum, drum drum, because I'm thinking, with my luck, 241 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: with my luck, I'm the one guy who's walking down 242 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: that path and all of a sudden, you know, something 243 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: just pops out and my right foot is gone. I'm 244 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: like ah, and I'm like it's gone. What the hell 245 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: happened to my foot? It's in the gator's mouth and 246 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: the thing is just you know, fleeing, going back into 247 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: the water. So I'm like, no, no, I no, no, hey, 248 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm no tough guy. I'm not whoa. So I said, listen, 249 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: I wouldn't live here for the hurricanes because they were 250 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, they're all you talk to people, they go, well, 251 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: if you live in the hurricane zone, yeah, you know, 252 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: you get the occasional hurricane. Insurance is very high. It's 253 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: more expensive. But if you live outside the hurricane zone, 254 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: which is like maybe twenty five thirty minutes away, it's fine. 255 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: There's no problem. I mean, you get heavy rain and wind, 256 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: but you don't get a hurricane. The moment I hear hurricane, 257 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm good. I don't care. Twenty minutes, 258 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: fifty minutes an hour, I'm good. I don't. Hey, I 259 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: don't need to confront the hurricane that and the gators. 260 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, maybe you guys want 261 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: to come to Florida and relocate. I'm I'm good where 262 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: I am. I'll take the illegals, the high taxes, and 263 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: the blizzards because at least I'll have my foot and 264 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: I won't get washed away in some hurricane six one 265 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: seven two, six, six, sixty eight sixty eight. But that's 266 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: me Ken in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Ken, and welcome. 267 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: I missed the cooner. You gotta get out on Massachusetts. 268 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: As Rosanna Rosannadana would say, Now it's obviously Jeff, you're 269 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: and not going to Florida. Yeah, I'm with you there. 270 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: All the things you've mentioned pretty much. Bottom line is 271 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: I hate hot weather for that long new new cut 272 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: me up. Yeah, but I have an interesting story in 273 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: my life. So let me bring you to the Hampshire. 274 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: I'm a twenty twenty twenty year That means twenty years 275 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 3: in Connecticut, twenty years in the Hampshire, twenty years about 276 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: in Massachusetts. Now I'm back in the Hampshire. And that 277 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: was the plan all along, you know, get post of 278 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: retirement going back to New Hampshire, because then you're my 279 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: wife's family's there, and he has a lot of deep ties, 280 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 3: and Sampshire's just a lot better politically too. So yeah, 281 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: it sounds like Grace has got the heels in deep 282 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: into the ground. That happens. Yet not all right, I 283 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 3: get it. I get it, the kids in high school 284 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 3: and stuff, And then it's true overall, as far as 285 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: the academics, not the culture, the schools are better in 286 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 3: the Massachusetts. I found that while I lived in Bolton. 287 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: That's true. So maybe you're on the same plan. You 288 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: have to wait, but just in case you find a way, 289 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: let me tell you Grace is in the real estate, right, yes, yeah, 290 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 3: well how to check out window? 291 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: Ken, do me a favor, hang on him up against 292 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: the break. Ken is making the case. Okay, let's go 293 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: right back to Ken in New Hampshire. He's lived twenty 294 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: years in Connecticut, twenty years in Massachusetts, twenty years in 295 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Basically he's getting ready for his retirement, and 296 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: he says, there's no question living in a reddish or 297 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: I guess a purple state like New Hampshire infinitely better 298 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: than a blue state. Like either Massachusetts or Connecticut. Now 299 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: he does concede. The school's here very good. I got 300 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: two kids, as you know, in high school, Ashton and Ava, 301 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: And Ken says, yeah, I could understand you want them 302 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: to finish school because the schools are good. But after that, 303 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: Ken is saying, come on up to New Hampshire, and 304 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: he says he's got some great areas. Please Ken, pick 305 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: up where you left off. 306 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: Yes, Jeff, off of I ninety three is your future home. 307 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 3: So let me sell you on it. And I know 308 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 3: how Grace is digging in deep, but let's throw out 309 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: some ideas if you were to come up. Yeah, you 310 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 3: could live in Salem Allum thereabouts. Then your kids the 311 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: Bishop Gordon Nashville Catholic School. I know you've mentioned that 312 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 3: being a possibility of Certainly they're not going to be 313 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: wokefied big time like they hired now, I'll tell you 314 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: that much. And they're still an hour and a half 315 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: Jeff from their friends. Now they can easily touch base. 316 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 3: And I know my son did that. You know he 317 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: ended up in New Hampshire, but he has close buddies 318 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 3: in the Boating area and stays touch with them. But 319 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: I'm just giving you ideas. So if not, And then 320 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: as far as I mentioned Wyndham first, because if you're 321 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 3: looking for good public schools in New Hampshire, the two 322 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: best clearly are Wyndham and Bedford, and they both have 323 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: beautiful schools and beautiful houses. So that's the best to 324 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: look for there. But bottom line, as far as the 325 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: politics and people who are like, oh, you know Massachusetts politics, 326 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 3: just going to Hampshire, there's a wall that ain't happening. 327 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 3: Very simple explanation, Jeff. They pay the legislatives one hundred 328 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 3: dollars a year. They don't make so much trouble. It's 329 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 3: that simple. It's not a professional. 330 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: That's a very good point. No, you're right, it's a 331 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: very good point. I mean, you know, how much can 332 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: you steal on one hundred bucks a year? You know, Ken, 333 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: I got to ask you this. Overall, you compare New 334 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: Hampshire to Massachusetts cost of living. You mentioned homes. You 335 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: can get a nice, good home, big home, much cheaper 336 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: than Massachusetts. Taxes, crime, illegal aliens, quality of life. And 337 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of this. People are complaining to 338 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: me saying, Jeff, Massachusetts have some of the nastiest rudest 339 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: drivers in the whole country. They're saying there's an attitude 340 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: among not all, but many Massachusetts residents. They find them 341 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: ill mannered, uncouth, many of them using profanity all the time. 342 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: They say, you know, Jeff, the one thing about Red States, 343 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: not just down south, but elsewhere. People you know, they say, yes, sir, yes, ma'am. 344 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: You know whatever, No sir, no, ma'am. They're better mannered, 345 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: they're more polite, they're more courteous on the road, that's 346 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: for sure, But just in general, they're just nicer to 347 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: be around. Do you find that's this, I mean, do 348 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: you find that's something similar in New Hampshire? Are generally 349 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: New Hampshire rites nicer than people in Massachusetts. I'm just curious. 350 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah it is. And you know, I'll be honest, 351 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 3: the whole Massachusetts thing, especially around Boston, it's just the 352 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 3: logistics of the way the roads are designed. It's been 353 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 3: that way for four hundred years. Well, obviously at the 354 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: roads you at the point. The geography of Boston makes 355 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 3: it really hard to divers So let me also throw 356 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 3: to you another idea. If it's not going to New Hampshire, 357 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 3: and I know you don't want Florida, not California, hurricanes, earthquakes, 358 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 3: all that. Raleigh, North Carolina. My son moved there in May, gorgeous. 359 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely in the academics, they're terrific. So literally, you know, 360 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 3: if you were going there and your kids are going 361 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 3: to college, a lot to choose from. And literally I 362 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 3: was there, say, yeah, the population is about five hundred thousand, 363 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: Boston is six fifty. Yeah, I can see these lines 364 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 3: crossing in twenty years twenty five. Top Rawley's growing like crazy, 365 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 3: great place. 366 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: That's watsome. Actually, Ken, You're right. Look, the Carolinas in 367 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: general are booming, and that's one of the places you know, 368 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: these studies are pointing out. They you know, they got 369 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: much lower taxes, people are, you know, very friendly, very nice, 370 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: very good weather, and just overall a much better business climate, jobs, 371 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: overall economic opportunity. So the fact that your son is 372 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: living in Raleigh honestly doesn't surprise me because that's where 373 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: a lot of young people are going, whether it's North Carolina, 374 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: South Carolina, and obviously Florida. Ken, thank you very much 375 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: for that call. I really appreciate it. Six one seven 376 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Okay, let me 377 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: throw another log on the fire, just to open up 378 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: the discussion a little bit more. In your view, what 379 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: is the best state in the Union to live I'm 380 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: talking across the board, not just talking taxes or a 381 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: job or everything. I'm talking cost of living, affordability, obviously, prosperity, 382 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: economic opportunity, that's important, but you know, just the quality 383 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: of life people, you know, culture, how people interact with 384 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: one another, manners. Just overall, if you were to pick 385 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: a state where you said, no, no, that is the 386 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: best state in the country to live in, what would 387 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: it be from your experience? That's number one? And number 388 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: two I've got to ask, I've got to ask what 389 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: is it about Massachusetts? And we're not the only ones. 390 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: People say this about New Yorkers. People say that about 391 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: people who live in Chicago, people say that about people 392 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: who live in la So there's pockets in the country 393 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: as well. It's not just you know, people in Greater 394 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: Boston and Massachusetts. But seriously, what is your theory? Why 395 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: are people so nasty and vicious on the road here? 396 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: Cut people off constantly, giving the middle finger, will never 397 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: allow you to merge. Just overall, just how aggressive the 398 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 1: drivers are why why? 399 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 5: And overall? 400 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: You know what they call massholes? Right? This attitude that 401 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: people have. Again, it's not everybody, I'm not saying that, 402 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: but you do meet quite a bit of it, where 403 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: people in general are just ruder, nastier, They love to 404 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: use profanity, they're rougher to one another. You know, as 405 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: someone said, you don't hear yes, sir, you know yes, ma'am. 406 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: No sir, no, ma'am. You hardly hear that. 407 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 2: Here. 408 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: Nobody just waves over and says, hey, we're on a 409 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: stop side. No, you go first. Oh, it's okay, you 410 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: go first, as you see in other parts of the country. 411 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: What explains this attitude, this unique Massachusetts attitude? What is 412 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: your theory? Six one seven two six six sixty eight 413 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: sixty eight is the number Kathy in Rochester. Thanks for 414 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: holding Kathy, and welcome. 415 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 6: Hello, Jeff. You know it's funny you just bring this 416 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 6: topic because I had a little issue a couple of 417 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 6: Fridays ago with mass holes on a highway. And you 418 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 6: know what it is about some of these people who drive. 419 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 6: They they're just stupid. There's no other word for u. 420 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 6: It's just sheer, complete ignorance. So on one ninety five 421 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 6: in New Bedford, they are doing some construction and because 422 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 6: of the poor planning of our mayor and the state leaders, 423 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 6: we have another bridge called the Faehaan New Bedford Bridge, 424 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 6: which is an antique bridge which is always breaking down 425 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 6: and so right now it's not even working. So we 426 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 6: have two main thorough ways to get from the town 427 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 6: of Behn into New Bedford. So right now the old 428 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 6: antique bridge, which should have been replaced decades ago, is 429 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 6: not working at On top of that, we have a 430 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 6: seworage treatment plant in New Bedford that's sure been replaced 431 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 6: and it's when it rains, is dumping rows stewage into 432 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 6: the harbor, which is affecting New Bedford, the next town over, 433 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 6: Dartmouth and fair Haven. So nobody is doing a damn 434 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 6: thing around here. So then we have the construction on 435 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 6: Route one ninety five, which is supposed to laugh five years. 436 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 7: It's a nightmare. 437 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 6: We have an exit, it's called the Washburn Street exit, 438 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 6: which goes around to like there's a market basket. It 439 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 6: is an absolute it's backed up, backed up onto the highway, 440 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 6: backed up, bumper to bumper everywhere. It's just like a 441 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 6: complete and utter bottleneck. So you're in the line to 442 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 6: take the exit, and what are people doing for cars? 443 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 6: You're on a highway. Highway, they stop in the highway 444 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 6: and put their right blinker on because they want you 445 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 6: to let them in. You can't go anywhere. The traffic's 446 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 6: not moving and they are stopped on in a lane 447 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 6: on the highway. I mean, I was stunned, stunned. I'm 448 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 6: looking at these people, like what is wrong with you? 449 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 6: So I'm not letting anybody in? Get back in line 450 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 6: like I got back in line. You're moros, some guys 451 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 6: on the outside. I mean I look at him and 452 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 6: I shook my head. No, he flipped me a bird. 453 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 6: I flipped him back, like screw you know, Like what 454 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 6: is run? So that's driving in Massachusetts. The morons you 455 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 6: deal with? How about when you're run like you know. 456 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,239 Speaker 6: I had to laugh because on Channel five today they 457 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 6: were talking about all the roads that make people angry. 458 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 6: One twenty eight the Southeast Expressway and then ninety three 459 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 6: heading north out of Boston. I mean, the traffic around 460 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 6: here is worse, and really around here on the South Coast, 461 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 6: we never had traffic like we have now. I'm telling you, 462 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 6: every time, every single week when I go on Saturday 463 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 6: night to eat, I just say, where has all this 464 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 6: traffic come from? It's like bumper to bumper on one 465 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 6: ninety five, and I'm thinking, who would move to Massachusetts? 466 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 6: Yuada of mind? Why is there so much traffic? I 467 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 6: just don't understand. But that's like my little traffic story 468 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 6: number one. But I didn't want to just comment on 469 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 6: moving because I have been looking at homes in South 470 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 6: Carolina and I've had a lot of the animals, and 471 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 6: I'm down to my last cat, and when my last 472 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 6: cat goes to Heaven, I'm packing it up driving down 473 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 6: there to see if I like the area, because it's 474 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 6: just amazing how much less the cost of living is. 475 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 6: They have beautiful homes. You know, the homes are a 476 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 6: little bit more like four hundred and say four hundred 477 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 6: to four. You can get a beautiful twenty five twenty 478 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 6: five hundred square foot home in South Carolina. Beautiful homes, 479 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 6: and the only drawback is they do build them very 480 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 6: close together. That is the one drawback. And they have 481 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 6: alligators too in South Carolina, which I'm not too crazy 482 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 6: about alligators and I really hate snakes, so that would 483 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 6: be you know, if I look at a home and 484 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 6: it's near a body of water. It gets the X 485 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 6: because I Am not living there any body of water 486 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 6: with his gaters and snakes. 487 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: So I'm with you at Kathy. 488 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I see gators and snakes, and I'm like, no, 489 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm good.

Look, 492 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: it's a lot of congestion, a lot of people. It 493 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: doesn't help that you have all these illegals poor in 494 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: but let that go. And I think that's part of 495 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: the problem. You've got too many people in congested and 496 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: concentrated in small areas, and that's where I think a 497 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: lot of the frustration, the stress, the pressure, the road rage. 498 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: I think that's part of the reason that you see 499 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: so much of it. You know here, you see it elsewhere. 500 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: New York is another example, but you do see that here. 501 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: Now I'm just going to give you very quick story 502 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: because this is such a Massachusetts story. I've told this 503 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: story to friends of mine in Florida, in North Carolina, 504 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: in Utah, in Arizona, and they don't believe it. They're 505 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: like they shake their head, they go out. We've never 506 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: seen that where we live in those states, we don't 507 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: see that. We've never seen that. So I'm driving in 508 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: my car. I'm almost about five minutes away from home, 509 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: and I have my two beautiful children with me in 510 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,959 Speaker 1: the car. Now, I'm telling you, I'm not exaggerating an 511 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: iota for dramatic effect. It is two lanes on one side, 512 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: orange or whatever yellow line, and then two lanes on 513 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: the other side. I'm driving. There is nobody in front 514 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: of me. On the other side, there's nobody. And I'm 515 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: going maybe forty miles an hour. And I'm telling you, 516 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: there's maybe there's a car, maybe a couple hundred yards 517 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: behind me, Okay, like it's really far behind me. And 518 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm approaching a dunkin Donuts. As I approach the dunkin Donuts, 519 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: there is an old lady in the car. Why do 520 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: I say old because she had white white hair. You 521 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: could tell on her face just she was at least 522 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: seventy years old, minimum seventy. She doesn't want to wait 523 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: for me to drive by the dunkin Donuts, so then 524 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: she can, you know, go against traffic. And get on 525 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: the other side. No, no, no, no, she guns it. Literally, 526 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: she guns it out of the parking lot. She practically 527 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: almost hits me. I jam my brakes, and of course 528 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm upset, so I honk her. Now, so she's in 529 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: the wrong. She's literally going against traffic two lanes, almost 530 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: hits me, breaks across the orange yellow line whatever, and 531 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: then to get to the other side. Now, if this 532 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: was me, okay, and then I would wait for the 533 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: person to drive by. That's number one. Number two. If 534 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: I did gun it and I almost hit somebody with 535 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: two children in the car, I would just you know, 536 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: as I'm honking. Oh, I'm just I was saying, Oh 537 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: I dodged an accident. Okay, let me just keep driving. No, no, 538 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: not Granny. Listen to this Granny after nearly hitting me. 539 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: So now she's right by me and I'm honking her, 540 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: Granny flips me the bird as she's driving right hand 541 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: on the wheel, left hand, there's the middle finger. So 542 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: there Granny is driving against traffic, almost causes an accident. 543 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: And Dan, I've never seen this in my life, flips 544 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: me the bird. And Ava was like daddy. This was 545 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: when she was much younger, daddy, what does that mean? 546 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: She goes, daddy, what does that mean? When she gives 547 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: the finger like that? I said, oh, sweet you, I'll 548 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: explain it to you when you get older. Basically, the 549 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: old granny just told us to go f ourselves as 550 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: she breaks the traffic laws and almost gets us into 551 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: an accident. Now and Mike says he stands with granny. 552 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: So now this is classic Massachusetts. Why, most seriously, why 553 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: here's an elderly woman. I guarantee you a grandmother, and 554 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: you can't wait two seconds. And even when you're you're 555 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: in the wrong and you almost cause an accident, you're flipping. 556 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: You're telling me to blank off. You're flipping me the bird. 557 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: So I'm just curious, what's your theory? Six one cent? 558 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: Why are people the way they are? Six one seven 559 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: to six six Because you don't see this pretty much 560 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: anywhere else. This is very unique to Massachusetts. Six one 561 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: seven to six six sixty eight sixty eight. Frank in Randolph, 562 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: Thanks for holding, Frank, and. 563 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 7: Welcome first time call of Jeff. 564 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: Welcome, Frank, welcome. 565 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 7: Thank you Jeff. First off, I get two things I 566 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 7: want to say. According to my sister and my late 567 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 7: brother in law. South Dakota is the place to be. 568 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 7: They say it's very beautiful there. 569 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: Oh really, okay, yeah, they. 570 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 7: Say it's very nice there. You know you're going to 571 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 7: get the snow and some hurricanes or tornados, I should say, 572 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 7: but they say it's very nice there. Second, my friend 573 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 7: is in Florida. She's in Naples. She said it's expensive 574 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 7: there and she's in the senior part of Naples. And 575 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 7: she said there are a lot of Mexicans there, and 576 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 7: she said the prices have gone up quite a bit 577 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 7: out in Naples. She moved off the Cape to go 578 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 7: down there five years ago. Interesting said, yes, and more importantly, 579 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 7: to get back to Massachusetts. Did you happen to catch 580 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 7: on Channel five on the record on Sunday? 581 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: I try to avoid that show like the plague? Frank, Yes, 582 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: n Honestly, Frank, life is too short to watch on 583 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: the record, but anyway, please keep going. 584 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 8: Frank defending the illegals. He couldn't even speak well. How 585 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 8: did he end up as Speaker of the State and 586 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 8: why is he not primary? 587 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: Is that Ron Marianna the House Speaker? 588 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 7: And he said he was stumbling his words when Ed 589 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 7: Harding was asking him about Massachusetts. He is defending their legals, 590 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 7: calling them citizens. How are these citizens? They are not 591 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 7: citizens of this commonwealth. We're the citizens. We pay the taxes. 592 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 7: I pay for them. 593 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 2: I've worked. 594 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 7: They don't, and they come in here and cause problems. 595 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 7: He's defending them, me stumbling his words. And the other 596 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 7: thing that got me mad the audit when he turned 597 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 7: around and said that he has his auditors. I didn't 598 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 7: vote to his auditors. I voted for them and this 599 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 7: Commonwealth as a taxpayer. 600 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: Frank, you're dead on on every point. You're absolutely dead on. 601 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about South Dakota. I've ever 602 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: been to South Dakota, but I have heard that it's 603 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: very nice there. Although you know, Mike is in my 604 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 1: ears saying, Okay, it's nice, and then after a day 605 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: and a half, what do you do there? So Mike 606 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: is taking a cheap shot at South Dakota saying basically, 607 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: there's nothing to do in South Dakota, you know, but anyway, 608 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: but let that go. See that's a typical New England 609 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: Northeast attitude. You know that it's like it's flyover country. Okay, 610 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: but anyway, but let let that go. Frank, So but 611 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: I listen everything else, you're a thousand percent correct. Look, 612 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: Ron Mariano is a hack. He's a buffoon, he's a clown. Frankly, 613 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: he's an idiot. He's a hack. Now, the reason why 614 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: he's calling illegals quote unquote citizens, that's their bread and butter. 615 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: That's their bread and butter. That's the key to the 616 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: Democrat machine. So you better believe it. They have to 617 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: call them citizens because if they get deported, the Democrats 618 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: are never going to hold power again. So those are 619 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: their voters. That's why they're giving them all of this welfare, 620 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: your money, my money, the taxpayers money. And that's why 621 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: this is a sanctuary state. And they don't want to 622 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: comply with ice or with the laws of the land, 623 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: the federal immigration laws. And that's why they don't want 624 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: that audit that we voted for to be implemented, because 625 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: it's going to show that Mariano is a crook, like 626 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: all these Democrats up on Beacon Hill, and how our 627 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: money is being wasted, stolen, and where most of it 628 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: is going, and it's either going in their pockets or 629 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: it's going into the pockets of illegally of illegals in 630 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: other words, it's going to be another Minnesota, and they 631 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: know it. It's going to be exactly what was uncovered 632 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, billions and billions and billions in fraud. And 633 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, Okay, now that we're talking 634 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: about blue states, red states, why one hundred and eighty 635 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: two thousand residents have left Massachusetts as an example, just 636 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Number one. Now we 637 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: are now the number one state in people leaving and 638 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: going elsewhere. California is now number two and New Jersey 639 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: number three. To me, that's the most offensive of everything 640 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: that I work so hard for, you know, for my money, 641 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: and I pay a lot, and I pay a lot 642 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: in taxes, and you steal my money like this, and 643 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: you give it away to these mooches and parasites. And 644 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: then when I complain, you dare call me a racist. 645 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no. That's what really sticks 646 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: in my crawl.
