WEBVTT - False Polls

0:00:00.730 --> 0:00:04.430
<v Speaker 1>Boston's bulldozer never sleeps. The Kuhner Report Weekend Edition. On

0:00:04.730 --> 0:00:07.090
<v Speaker 1>the voice of Boston, WRKO.

0:00:07.570 --> 0:00:12.049
<v Speaker 2>Joining us now, as she always does at this time,

0:00:12.539 --> 0:00:18.660
<v Speaker 2>she is the co-founder, CEO, and president of Kelly Financial Services.

0:00:19.180 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 2>And yes, that is her wonderful name, Kelly Kelly. Kelly,

0:00:25.660 --> 0:00:27.900
<v Speaker 2>how are you?

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:32.970
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Jeff. I am good. You know, it's interesting

0:00:33.050 --> 0:00:38.170
<v Speaker 3>how differently generations look at retirement. For many baby boomers,

0:00:38.270 --> 0:00:42.290
<v Speaker 3>the idea was simple. Work hard, save your money, and

0:00:42.390 --> 0:00:47.140
<v Speaker 3>enjoy retirement someday. But Generation Z is looking at things

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.740
<v Speaker 3>a little differently. They want financial security, certainly, but they

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:57.410
<v Speaker 3>also want flexibility and opportunities to enjoy life along the way.

0:00:57.870 --> 0:01:01.690
<v Speaker 3>And Jeff, I think both generations have something to learn

0:01:01.750 --> 0:01:05.389
<v Speaker 3>from one another. That's part of the conversation my son,

0:01:05.630 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 3>William Kelly Jr., explores in his book, Only the Good

0:01:09.940 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Invests Young. It's about much more than money. It's about relationships.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:21.190
<v Speaker 3>It's about resilience and making thoughtful decisions throughout life. Listeners

0:01:21.250 --> 0:01:26.250
<v Speaker 3>can request a complimentary copy by calling or emailing kelly

0:01:26.490 --> 0:01:33.110
<v Speaker 3>at kellyfinancial.org. We'll continue these conversations tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.

0:01:33.430 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 3>on Safe Money Strategies Radio right here on WRKO. You

0:01:38.500 --> 0:01:44.550
<v Speaker 3>can also catch our Radio Rewind at kellyfinancial.org. Jeff, have

0:01:44.590 --> 0:01:47.850
<v Speaker 3>a wonderful weekend. My best to Grace and the kiddos.

0:01:48.230 --> 0:01:51.120

<v Speaker 2>kelly at kellyfinancial.org. 933 on the great WRKO. Jeff Cooner,

0:02:24.530 --> 0:02:32.750
<v Speaker 2>Boston's bulldozer. 617-266-6868 is the number. Okay, let's go to

0:02:32.889 --> 0:02:37.450
<v Speaker 2>Patrick in Maine. Thanks for holding, Patrick, and welcome.

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:02:41.900 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I'll take a different angle on it. take an

0:02:45.540 --> 0:02:48.419
<v Speaker 5>angle of AI and chat GBT and Google. So I

0:02:48.650 --> 0:02:50.530
<v Speaker 5>don't know if you know what scraping is, but so

0:02:50.970 --> 0:02:54.810
<v Speaker 5>scraping takes the most current info on every website. So

0:02:54.830 --> 0:02:57.730
<v Speaker 5>if you want to, you know, AI and chat GBT are,

0:02:58.110 --> 0:03:01.020
<v Speaker 5>they're smart, but they also don't know the difference between truth.

0:03:01.780 --> 0:03:04.940
<v Speaker 5>So if the Dems are putting all this info into

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.500
<v Speaker 5>their websites and all their tracking data, it's going to

0:03:08.540 --> 0:03:10.410
<v Speaker 5>pull up a lot of false and you can't really

0:03:10.470 --> 0:03:12.890
<v Speaker 5>tell the difference. And that's, that's a little bit of

0:03:13.250 --> 0:03:15.710
<v Speaker 5>the danger of looking at this. I think in Maine,

0:03:15.750 --> 0:03:18.829
<v Speaker 5>because I live in Maine, and I think Susan Collins

0:03:18.889 --> 0:03:21.630
<v Speaker 5>is probably up by about five, 10 points, but they're

0:03:21.650 --> 0:03:23.450
<v Speaker 5>not going to tell you that because they're so desperate

0:03:23.470 --> 0:03:26.970
<v Speaker 5>to get this guy in. So you just got to

0:03:26.990 --> 0:03:27.550
<v Speaker 5>go out and vote.

0:03:29.430 --> 0:03:32.010
<v Speaker 2>Patrick, if you don't mind me asking you this question.

0:03:32.669 --> 0:03:33.649
<v Speaker 5>Sure.

0:03:35.250 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>When you say she's up five or 10 points, And

0:03:38.340 --> 0:03:40.460
<v Speaker 2>I believe you, by the way, because that's what my

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:44.860
<v Speaker 2>people in Maine are telling me as well. Why would

0:03:44.930 --> 0:03:50.850
<v Speaker 2>the pollsters and the media lie that Troy Jackson is ahead?

0:03:51.870 --> 0:03:54.350
<v Speaker 2>Do they think it's going to discourage people like you

0:03:54.410 --> 0:03:59.150
<v Speaker 2>from voting? Like, in other words, does it work? This

0:03:59.270 --> 0:04:04.220
<v Speaker 2>technique now that Wedgwood Polling admits that they do, which

0:04:04.300 --> 0:04:10.610
<v Speaker 2>is deliberately falsify poll results... in order to boost far-left Democrats,

0:04:12.870 --> 0:04:18.170
<v Speaker 2>radical leftists, that, in other words, to give them, make

0:04:18.210 --> 0:04:20.909
<v Speaker 2>it seem like they're going to win by impressive numbers.

0:04:21.890 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Does it work? Does it discourage people, Republicans, conservatives, independents, say,

0:04:29.180 --> 0:04:32.659
<v Speaker 2>in Maine, they go, oh, He's up. He's going to win.

0:04:32.730 --> 0:04:34.230
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be a blue wave.

0:04:34.250 --> 0:04:34.630
<v Speaker 4>They're winning.

0:04:34.910 --> 0:04:38.430
<v Speaker 2>Hell, even Texas is going to fall. Kansas is going

0:04:38.450 --> 0:04:41.810
<v Speaker 2>to fall. Iowa is going to fall. Alaska is going

0:04:41.830 --> 0:04:44.930
<v Speaker 2>to fall. I mean, every red, deep red states are

0:04:44.950 --> 0:04:47.830
<v Speaker 2>going to lose this election. So what chance do we

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 2>have in Maine? Is it going to work to suppress

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>voter turnout, say, for Susan Collins or for the Republicans?

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 2>What say you?

0:04:59.779 --> 0:05:02.799
<v Speaker 5>Small percentage, right, say 2% or 3%, people are so frustrated.

0:05:03.020 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 5>And I hear, not my close friends, but colleagues are like,

0:05:07.220 --> 0:05:10.020
<v Speaker 5>I'm tired of this, and my vote doesn't count anymore,

0:05:10.060 --> 0:05:11.260
<v Speaker 5>and we have to go back, or I have to

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 5>go back and explain to them how that works. So

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 5>all it takes is 3% to change it and sway

0:05:16.540 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 5>it the other way. So I think this is sort

0:05:20.230 --> 0:05:22.610
<v Speaker 5>of like a PR campaign they're on, and the Democrats

0:05:22.650 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 5>do one thing really well, they all stick together. right now,

0:05:28.460 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 5>so I think that's what harms us. If we stay

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.060
<v Speaker 5>together like they do and get out and vote, I

0:05:34.100 --> 0:05:36.940
<v Speaker 5>think we can win everyone that they say they're down.

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm originally from Massachusetts, but I haven't lived there in

0:05:40.020 --> 0:05:43.770
<v Speaker 5>over 30 years, so I really don't know what's going

0:05:43.790 --> 0:05:44.589
<v Speaker 5>to happen in that state.

0:05:45.630 --> 0:05:49.950
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. I agree with you. If the Republicans stick together

0:05:50.570 --> 0:05:53.470
<v Speaker 2>and ignore the polls and ignore the media and the

0:05:53.710 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>PR campaign, the propaganda, then you're right. I think we're

0:05:59.060 --> 0:06:03.050
<v Speaker 2>going to run the table because the polls are artificially

0:06:03.150 --> 0:06:08.870
<v Speaker 2>inflating the numbers for the Democrats. Patrick, excellent call. Really

0:06:08.890 --> 0:06:17.590
<v Speaker 2>good call. 617-266-6868. Scott in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding, Scott,

0:06:18.070 --> 0:06:18.589
<v Speaker 2>and welcome.

0:06:20.010 --> 0:06:23.620
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Jeff, I really appreciate everything you do with that

0:06:23.700 --> 0:06:27.690
<v Speaker 4>first off. I listen every morning, and I really appreciate

0:06:27.750 --> 0:06:28.990
<v Speaker 4>all your information and insight.

0:06:29.010 --> 0:06:29.450
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, Scott.

0:06:29.930 --> 0:06:30.290
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:06:30.550 --> 0:06:34.070
<v Speaker 4>So here's my take. I've been in New Hampshire for

0:06:34.070 --> 0:06:38.630
<v Speaker 4>40 years, and over the decades, it was a solid

0:06:38.710 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Republican state for many, many years.

0:06:41.820 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 6>And then.

0:06:44.100 --> 0:06:51.980
<v Speaker 4>As the demographics changed and the massive... and New York

0:06:52.020 --> 0:06:58.950
<v Speaker 4>people started coming up for cheaper houses and a tax-free state.

0:06:59.670 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 4>They brought their Democratic ideas with them. So over time,

0:07:07.570 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 4>we've been 50-50. And because I live in Portsmouth, Portsmouth

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.740
<v Speaker 4>is a heavy Democratic. I see two-to-one signs for Pappas everywhere.

0:07:20.340 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 4>And when I listen to the radio at night and

0:07:24.930 --> 0:07:34.090
<v Speaker 4>I watch TV, it's still two-to-one TV ads, Pappas to Sununu. Now,

0:07:35.390 --> 0:07:38.380
<v Speaker 4>I voted for Trump three times, and I'd vote for

0:07:38.390 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 4>him again if there's some reason he could run. And

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 4>I'll vote Republican. It's not going to wane my interest

0:07:47.100 --> 0:07:51.810
<v Speaker 4>to not vote Republican. But it gives me pause to

0:07:51.930 --> 0:07:55.750
<v Speaker 4>wonder what the rest of the state is going to

0:07:55.790 --> 0:08:01.190
<v Speaker 4>come out. It troubles me. So I don't know. I'm

0:08:01.250 --> 0:08:04.990
<v Speaker 4>afraid Pappas might win. So I don't know if the

0:08:05.690 --> 0:08:08.590
<v Speaker 4>polls are right or wrong, but I'm worried.

0:08:09.410 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, I think it's pretty clear there's a pattern.

0:08:13.310 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 2>They're boosting numbers for Democrats in every race. The only

0:08:18.700 --> 0:08:22.730
<v Speaker 2>question is by how much. So if they claim that

0:08:22.790 --> 0:08:27.050
<v Speaker 2>Pappas is up by seven, then he's not up by seven.

0:08:27.950 --> 0:08:31.370
<v Speaker 2>It's probably either within the margin of error or it's

0:08:31.470 --> 0:08:35.850
<v Speaker 2>really neck and neck or Sununu slightly ahead. So, I mean,

0:08:35.870 --> 0:08:38.350
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens. Remember, there's a lot of voter

0:08:38.390 --> 0:08:40.689
<v Speaker 2>fraud that takes place in New Hampshire. We have to

0:08:40.730 --> 0:08:42.870
<v Speaker 2>keep an eye on that. But Scott, I got to

0:08:42.970 --> 0:08:45.189
<v Speaker 2>ask you this, and I know you're not voting for Pappas,

0:08:45.210 --> 0:08:48.340
<v Speaker 2>so Please don't think I'm accusing you quite the opposite.

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 2>But why would any sane person, seriously, in New Hampshire,

0:08:55.200 --> 0:09:00.870
<v Speaker 2>vote for a guy like Pappas who was sleeping with

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.949
<v Speaker 2>a lobbyist from Amazon while he was voting on bills

0:09:06.630 --> 0:09:10.510
<v Speaker 2>that was one giveaway after another to Amazon, and then

0:09:10.550 --> 0:09:15.740
<v Speaker 2>he ends up marrying the lobbyist from Amazon? In other words,

0:09:15.780 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, pardon my French, the guy is a political whore.

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.220
<v Speaker 2>I mean, who the hell would vote for a guy

0:09:23.260 --> 0:09:28.770
<v Speaker 2>like Chris Pappas? And seriously, Scott, what has Chris Pappas

0:09:29.030 --> 0:09:32.370
<v Speaker 2>ever done for the state of New Hampshire? See, this

0:09:32.429 --> 0:09:36.250
<v Speaker 2>is to me what's changed. Look, I couldn't stand Kennedy,

0:09:36.460 --> 0:09:39.700
<v Speaker 2>Ted Kennedy. He's a murderer. He killed that woman off

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:45.090
<v Speaker 2>that bridge. But Kennedy delivered the bacons. I mean, you know,

0:09:45.130 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>you needed a bridge. He got the money for you.

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 2>You needed a school. You needed a road. You needed

0:09:49.980 --> 0:09:51.740
<v Speaker 2>a highway, whatever.

0:09:52.140 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.490
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy brought home the bacon. So I'm like, okay, you know,

0:09:56.550 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I could, you know, tell me i could never vote

0:09:58.130 --> 0:10:00.319
<v Speaker 2>for a guy like him but okay i you know

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.620
<v Speaker 2>he he he brought money back to their district i

0:10:03.660 --> 0:10:06.620
<v Speaker 2>get it it used to be said in new england

0:10:06.860 --> 0:10:11.180
<v Speaker 2>all politics is local it seems like nothing is local

0:10:11.260 --> 0:10:16.070
<v Speaker 2>anymore because what is chris pappas done for new hampshire

0:10:16.370 --> 0:10:21.530
<v Speaker 2>zero zero What has Maura Healey done for Massachusetts?

0:10:22.010 --> 0:10:22.540
<v Speaker 4>Zero.

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.460
<v Speaker 2>I could go Democrat Ed Markey, who's going to, the

0:10:26.500 --> 0:10:29.579
<v Speaker 2>polls say he's up by 30 over Deaton. What has

0:10:29.700 --> 0:10:34.260
<v Speaker 2>Marcula ever done? I scream Ed. What has he ever

0:10:34.370 --> 0:10:46.130
<v Speaker 2>done for Massachusetts? One bridge, one highway, one hospital, one school, something, anything. Scott,

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Has Chris Pappas done anything for New Hampshire?

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 6>No, no. And it's as simple as that. But the

0:10:56.140 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 6>problem is the Democrats have a good machine going with

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.350
<v Speaker 6>them up here. And Chris Pappas is really tied in

0:11:04.590 --> 0:11:08.650
<v Speaker 6>with the teachers unions. And they get the vote out.

0:11:09.030 --> 0:11:12.950
<v Speaker 4>And it troubles me. You said just what I tell

0:11:12.990 --> 0:11:13.450
<v Speaker 4>my wife.

0:11:14.910 --> 0:11:19.500
<v Speaker 2>Politics used to be local in New England. Where's the local?

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 2>They're electing these far leftists who ignore the state and

0:11:26.059 --> 0:11:27.060
<v Speaker 2>the constituents.

0:11:28.620 --> 0:11:31.540
<v Speaker 1>Jeff doesn't get a day off. This request came from

0:11:31.580 --> 0:11:34.580
