1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, Cooner Contry. Okay, my friends, this is a

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: massive story that is just not being covered, or to

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: be more accurate, it is being underreported by much of

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: what passes for the so called media today. As you know,

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: we've been hammered massive snowstorm over two feet in many

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: areas in Massachusetts, the Northeast, all the way down Midwest,

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: the South. We've had one of the worst snowstorms ice

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: storms in decades. And as the country is now digging

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: its way out of the snow and millions and millions

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: of Americans still have no power, especially in the South,

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: people are asking themselves is our energy grid reliable? And

12
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: in particular, all of these green New Deal, green socialist,

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: environmentalist climate change initiatives that have been pushed, especially in

14
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: blue states from California all the way here to Massachusetts,

15
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Notice two things, two things that stand out.

16
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: Number one, there is no reliable, cheap source of power. California,

17
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: for example, does not even have a reliable power grid.

18
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: Why because they're trying to phase out fossil fuels, phase

19
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: out oil in natural gas, and push the entire economy

20
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: and individual consumers, ordinary Americans into embracing solar, wind and

21
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: battery power, ev cars, you name it. And what has

22
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: that done for California. They have rolling what's called brownouts,

23
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: in other words, for a couple hours a day there's

24
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: just no power, or if there's severe strain because you're

25
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: everybody's jacking up the heating because they get a real

26
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: cold spell or a storm or whatever. Suddenly there's not

27
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: enough power for the state of California and the energy

28
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: grid collapses. On top of that, not only do you

29
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: not have a reliable, cheap source of power, but energy

30
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: costs and everybody's talking about affordability. In fact, President Trump

31
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: essentially launched the midterm elections yesterday in Iowa. He's going

32
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: to be campaigning for the entire year. He wants to

33
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: run it the way he says he's running a presidential campaign.

34
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: He's going to be traveling, he's going to be giving speeches,

35
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: he's going to be raising money. They're going to be

36
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: running a lot of ads. And he wants to focus

37
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: like a laser beam on the economy, on inflation, on

38
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: cost of living and unaffordability, and groceries. Now the price

39
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: has been contained, groceries now inflation has been can take

40
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: curbed and handled and restrained on groceries, on eggs, on

41
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: some of these basic food staples. He has managed now

42
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: to stop rising inflation, but he faces problems when it

43
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: comes to housing, healthcare, and this is a big one.

44
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Energy utility bills. Now in California, gas prices are so high.

45
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: We're talking five six dollars a gallon, even though for

46
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: much of the rest of the country, for example, I

47
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: now pay less than three dollars a gallon. I'm paying

48
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: now about two ninety two ninety five in some cases

49
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: even two eighty five. So for me, when I go

50
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: to tank up my car, I can see the difference

51
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: from Joe Biden to Trump. I'm saving about twenty twenty

52
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: five even thirty dollars now every time I tank up. Now,

53
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, I tank up at least once a week

54
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: because I'm traveling all the way. I'm traveling to Boston

55
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: and for my work and stuff, so I have to

56
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm in my car. So you know that's that's not peanuts.

57
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: That's one hundred dollars a month, that's one thousand, two

58
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year. It's it's you know, it's not

59
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's not small potatoes. So he's trying desperately

60
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: to stop the Green New Deal and the green madness

61
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: in California by trying to force down energy costs and

62
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: force down gas prices, especially at the pump, but even

63
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: to heat or power your home. And he's completely right.

64
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: And notice this should be the governor's responsibility. It's not

65
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: because here's the dirty secret. And this to the heart

66
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: of why the left is at war with the middle class.

67
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: The left now is pushing green socialism they have for decades,

68
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: and at the heart of green socialism is a war

69
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: on fossil fuels. And so what they want to do

70
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: is they want to force you by constantly paying higher

71
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: prices for oil, for natural gas, for heating, for utilities,

72
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: for your electric bills, your energy costs. They want you

73
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: to force you off fossil and oil, fossil fuels, oil

74
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: and natural gas, and push you to adopt solar, wind

75
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: and electric power. Now take Massachusetts, okay, Mora Healy delivered

76
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: her State of the Commonwealth address, and at the heart

77
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: of the State and Commonwealth address because she's now in

78
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: terms of polling, she's vulnerable, she's beatable, and she's beatable

79
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: because the cost of living in Massachusetts for working middle

80
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: class families has become out of control. To put it

81
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: in plain English, we have an affordability crisis here in Massachusetts.

82
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: My energy bills are routinely over one thousand dollars a month,

83
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: sometimes like in the winter, like now, they're over twelve,

84
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: even thirteen, fourteen, fifteen hundred dollars. This is insane, it's unsustainable.

85
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: It's almost the equivalent of a mortgage payment. And so

86
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: this fraud because she's the one that's driving these energy

87
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: costs to be so high. Why because she's adopted something

88
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: called net zero by twenty fifty, which is a climate

89
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: change mandate pushed by the radical Democrats in this state

90
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: that says, by twenty fifty, it's self explanatory we have

91
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: to have when it comes to carbon emissions net zero. Well,

92
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: how do you get you know, zero carbon emissions? Phase

93
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: out oil, phase out natural gas, phase out fossil fuels,

94
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: and force the state i e. Consumers you and me

95
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: to put on solar panels or rely on wind farms

96
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: or electric batteries i eevs or even batteries to heat

97
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: your home. And so the costs have exploded, and so

98
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: the goal is to squeeze us and squeeze us and

99
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: squeeze us, is to guarantee that every three to six months,

100
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: your energy bills, both your gas bills and your electricity bills,

101
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: keep going up forty percent, fifty percent, sixty percent. That's

102
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: why you're getting exploding costs. That's why your bills are

103
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: through the roof, and they're not gonna go down. They're

104
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna relentlessly keep going up until you cry uncle and

105
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: say fine, put me on solar, put me on wind,

106
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: put me on electric. Okay, that's that's ultimately on battery power.

107
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: That's ultimately what they want. So, realizing though that the

108
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: election is this year, that she's underwater in the polls,

109
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: that in fact, if the Republicans could finally get their

110
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: act together, she's beatable. What is this fraud? And can do?

111
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: She now says, for two months, in the months of

112
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: February and March, for two months, she's going to take

113
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million dollars out of the budget,

114
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: our taxpayer dollars, and force a reduction in our energy bills.

115
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: Listen to this. For your gas bills ten percent, for

116
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: your electric bills twenty five percent. So there's going to

117
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: be a temporary reduction gas bills ten percent February March,

118
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: your electric bill twenty five percent February in March. And

119
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: she says, look, you say, I'm fighting for you. I'm

120
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: taking care of the little guy. I'm helping you get

121
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: by in the winter, which is usually the peak season

122
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: for rate payers. When I know for me, the winter

123
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: is the most expensive time of the year when it

124
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: comes to my electricity and my utility bills. But what

125
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: she's not telling you, you phony, you, fraud you, is

126
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: that she's kicking down, she's kicking the price of paying

127
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: for this down the road. You're not getting an actual cut.

128
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: You're not getting an actual reduction because from May to October.

129
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: Guess what, the utility companies are gonna raise your gas

130
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: bill ten percent to compensate for the reduction in February

131
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: in March of ten percent, and they're gonna raise your

132
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: electric bill by twenty five percent during the summer months

133
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: in the fall to compensate for the February March reduction.

134
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: So you're just gonna be paying the money later. That's it.

135
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: In fact, it broke yesterday. Listen to this. They're even

136
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: gonna charge interest now on the ten and twenty five percent,

137
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: So not only are we forget breaking even where you go, well,

138
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: well they cut it ten percent for gas and twenty

139
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: five percent for electricity for two months. Okay, as Trump

140
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: now tries to address and resolve, really find some lasting

141
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: solutions to our countries so called affordability crisis, which really

142
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: was unleashed and caused by Joe Biden. I mean, let's

143
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: be crystal clear, energy costs, what we pay in our

144
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: energy bills, utility electric gas bills are going through the roof.

145
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's killing me, killing my family financially,

146
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: and it's relentless. And that's because of the radical climate

147
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: change mandates that were passed by the Democrats in the

148
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: state legislature here in Massachusetts, and of course completely backed

149
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: by hold It Healy, who to me is clearly the

150
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: worst governor this state has ever had, even worse than

151
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: Charlie Baker. She's the worst. You want to talk about

152
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: a war on the middle class and the working class,

153
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: she is waging it. She is plundering the middle and

154
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: working class. The problem now is she has an election

155
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: in November, and she's vulnerable, and she's very beatable, as

156
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: I said, if only the Republicans can get their act together.

157
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: But let that go for a second. So to try

158
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: to con and fool the voters, she pulled out a

159
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: gimmick last week in the State of the Commonwealth address, Okay,

160
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: with the snowstorm barreling down just a couple days away,

161
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: she wanted to make it seem, oh, I'm standing up

162
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: for the little person, and she announced that she's going

163
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: to take one hundred and eighty million dollars out of

164
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: the budget, okay, out of our taxpayer money, and force

165
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: a reduction of ten percent on gas bills for everybody

166
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: February in March for two months electric bills a twenty

167
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: five percent reduction February in March March. And basically she's saying,

168
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: you should thank me. I'm putting money in your pocket.

169
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: What she's not telling people, and the media is deliberately

170
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: covering this up on her behalf, is that the deal

171
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: she made with the utility companies I don't care if

172
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: it's National Grid, ever source, take your pick, is that

173
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: they're then gonna be allowed. In fact, they will. They've

174
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: said this, They will increase the gas bills and the

175
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: electric bills for two months between May and October. So

176
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: you save ten percent February March, for example, on gas,

177
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: your bill is gonna go up ten percent sometime in

178
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: the summer or early fall. You save twenty five percent

179
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: on electric un an electric bill for two months, it's

180
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna go up twenty five percent for two months. So

181
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: basically you're just taking the can down the road. You

182
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: haven't saved anything, but even worse because they got to

183
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: eat the costs up front. They're gonna charge interest when

184
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: they increase at the ten percent for gas and twenty

185
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: five percent for electric bills in the summer and the fall,

186
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: So believe it or not, it's actually gonna end up

187
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: costing us even more money. You can't make this up. Okay,

188
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: this is what's so disgusting about this, and the key point,

189
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: she's the one that's driving energy costs constantly higher because

190
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: of these draconian, frankly insane climate change mandates the net

191
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: zero by twenty to fifty, where she wants to convert

192
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: the entire state from fossil fuels, which is cheap fuel.

193
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: You save money on fossil fuels into much more expensive solar,

194
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: wind and battery power. And so the strategy is keep

195
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: squeezing and squeezing by raising prices. Now, when everything is

196
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: said and done, her goal is to have people if

197
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: you're insisting on sticking to oil and natural gas and

198
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: traditional electricity, fourteen thousand dollars is what you're going to

199
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: have to pay eventually when they're done with there's a

200
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: net zero by twenty fifty, fourteen thousand dollars you're going

201
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: to have to pay every single year in your utility bills.

202
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: That's how much they want to financially break you.

203
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: Now.

204
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: They're not going to do it overnight. It's like boiling

205
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: a frog. They're going to do this over many months

206
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: and many years. Now. To me, that's a major reason

207
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: why cost of living is so high. You have such

208
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: an affordability issue now in the Commonwealth and in other

209
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Blue states because of these soaring energy bills and the

210
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: soaring gas and utility bills. As I said, I'm paying

211
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen, fifteen hundred a month, especially in the winter.

212
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: I used to pay five six hundred a month. My

213
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: utility bills have literally tripled, tripled, And if this continues,

214
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have no choice. I'm gonna have to leave.

215
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave. I love this state. I

216
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: love the people of this state. But I can't pay

217
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: two thousand, two thousand. I mean, that's where they're eventually

218
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: in a couple of years, that's what it's gonna be.

219
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be two thousand, two thousand, five hundred three

220
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month. If you want a home because

221
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to go on wind in solar, I don't. Okay,

222
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: let me ask all of you, are you paying more

223
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: or less? Say this winter compared to last winter, your

224
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: gas bills, electric bills, utilities, your energy costs. Overall, I'm

225
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: paying more. I'm paying more. And it's not Trump's fault.

226
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with Trump. This is all Morrihey,

227
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: this is all the radical Democrats, and in Massachusetts, and

228
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: by the way, that's the same in Illinois, or in

229
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: New York, or in Rhode Island, or in California or

230
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: in blue states all across the country. And so the

231
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to blame Trump saying he's not taking

232
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: care of energy costs when it has nothing to do

233
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: with him or the federal government. It is Democrat radical

234
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: green climate change policies that are deliberately causing soaring utility

235
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: and gas bills, and morraheey can do her gimmicks till

236
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: the cows come home. She's not cutting our bills. She's

237
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: just extending when we pay the bill. That's it. That's

238
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: all she's done. And I hope Republicans call her out.

239
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: So far, I'm not hearing much, but then again, that's

240
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: the Massachusetts Republican Party for you. Larry in Arkansas, you're

241
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna kick us off. Larry, thanks for holding and welcome.

242
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: Good morning from the frozen state of Arkansas.

243
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: Larry, please tell me you have power.

244
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: I haven't lost power, but a right, so, you guys

245
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 3: got what over twenty inches?

246
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, some places two feet literally genuinely two feet.

247
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: Let me perfect. I'm not bragging. We've got about an

248
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: inch and a half or two right now. Our bobm

249
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 3: is we have no way to get rid of it.

250
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: We don't have plows, we don't have salt on the roads.

251
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: So I went. It took me a half hour ago,

252
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: six miles yesterday just to go to groceries. I felt like,

253
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 3: you know, back in the western days, it is awesome.

254
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: One and a half inches of snow has brought Arkansas

255
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: to its knees.

256
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's it's layered of spikes and then snow,

257
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: and it's a night mark. Remember one of the reasons

258
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: I moved was to get away from this weather.

259
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: It's still much better in Arkansas, trust me, Larry.

260
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 3: Well, so here's my problem, and I understand what you're

261
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 3: saying with the high bills. I've only had two electric

262
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: bills here in about one hundred and ninety range. Most

263
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 3: of the houses down here, and this is nothing new,

264
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 3: it's been. It was like this when I lived here previously.

265
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 3: Are all electric. So my home, it does not have

266
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 3: natural gas. My home doesn't have propane. It's all electric.

267
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 3: So I've got what's called a heat pump. Well, my

268
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: heat pump is only good till about twenty six degrees

269
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 3: below that it's struggling to keep up. So I woke

270
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: up the other morning it was fifty nine degrees in

271
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: the house because the heat pump couldn't heat the house.

272
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: Geez.

273
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's it's it's six and one a half

274
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 3: dozen another. You know, I'm not trying to compare miseries,

275
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: but and that's just of course. Now Arkansas is not

276
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 3: normally get this cold where we've had single digits, so

277
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: that's struggling. Luckily, mine has an emergency heat switch where

278
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: you can just switch it and it goes to an

279
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: air handler and it's like directly turning on the furnace.

280
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: But it's constantly running. So I can't wait to see

281
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: my bill next month. But on the flip side of that,

282
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: I filled up my gas yesterday and I was grumbling

283
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: because it went up twelve cents. I paid two twenty.

284
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: Nine, two twenty nine a gallon.

285
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, last week I was paying two seventeen.

286
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: That's nicey, I'd love to have two twenty. I know

287
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: you were paying two seventeen. I hear you, but I'd

288
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: love to be paying two twenty nine. Two twenty nine

289
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: is very nice. No, mine is under just under three

290
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: bucks now two ninety five, two ninety. I think it's

291
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: back up to about three now two ninety eight, three

292
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: oh one. So, and that's what I mean, like just

293
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: the cost of living for erwall Lowry, you know, I mean,

294
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the reasons why you left.

295
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. Just you know, everything is

296
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: so much more expensive in these blue states, especially up

297
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: here in New England and the Northeast, the cost of

298
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: housing is much more, the cost of food is much more,

299
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: the cost of gas, the cost of utilities, rent, just

300
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: overall the costs. It's just it's it's becoming unaffordable for

301
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: middle working class people. Larry, Am I wrong?

302
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: Oh you're not. And if I'm going to remind your audience,

303
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: whose fault is this, it's not Biden's, it's not Trump's,

304
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 3: it's Obama's. Remember what he said. He was bragging that

305
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 3: he was going to make the cost of energy so

306
00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: expensive you will go to green energy. This was his brainchild.

307
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: I mean al Goren, his propaganda, I think put the

308
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: idea in his head. But remember everything was designed. He

309
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: wanted to make everything. And I hate the term fossil

310
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 3: fuels because we've already proven we're not living off the

311
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: dinosaur bones anymore. Because that was a that was a

312
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: crap thing they'd come up with to say, you know, uh,

313
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 3: it's finite. You know, I'm not saying it's gonna last forever.

314
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: But you know, when I was a kid, there telling

315
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 3: me that by the time I was this old, there

316
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: wouldn't be any more oil. And there's more of it now,

317
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: I think, because they're they've got better tools to find it. However,

318
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 3: you know, so I see all these on on social media.

319
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 3: I see all these like blue state governors and blue

320
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: state senators trying to say, oh my god, he promised

321
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: affordability and promised the cost of living. So I'll always

322
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: get on there and I'll say, hey, my red state's

323
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 3: doing great. Maybe if you moronic democrats weren't in charge

324
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 3: of everything, those blue states would be cheaper too. And

325
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: that's just it. It's they keep trying to blame President

326
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: Trump for the stuff they're doing, and hope and their

327
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: constituents are too dumb to realize it's the blue state.

328
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: I nailed it. Now, you nailed it. You absolutely nailed it.

329
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: And then this fraud of a governor comes out and says, well,

330
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to give everybody ten percent off on their

331
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: gas bills for February in March, and twenty five percent

332
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: off or reduction in their electric bills for February in March.

333
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: But then what she doesn't tell you is six months

334
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: down the road, all your gas bills are going to

335
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: go up ten percent for two months, and your electric

336
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: bills are going to go up for twenty five percent

337
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: for two months, and they're even going to charge interest

338
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: on top of the ten and twenty five percent, so

339
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: you end up actually even losing money. You're not even

340
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: breaking even. It's not even you know, robbing Peter to

341
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: pay Paul. It's you're getting screwed twice over. I mean,

342
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: it's just it's disgusting, and it's just an election year

343
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: gimmick because she's feeling the heat on energy, she's feeling

344
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: the heat on the cost of living, especially energy bills,

345
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: and so let's just kick the can down the road.

346
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Let's just you know, we're just going to extend how

347
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: much you have to pay. That's all she's doing. So

348
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: it's it's really it's disingenuous, it's deceptive, she's manipulative, and

349
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 1: the media is not calling her out and you have

350
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you can't believe the moonbats are like, look

351
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: at what Heally's doing. She cares, she cares. I'm like,

352
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: oh my god. She's the reason why prices keep going up,

353
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: why the energy costs keep going up. As you put it,

354
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: it's the Obama plan make energy so expensive. They're going

355
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 1: to force you to go to these so called renewables,

356
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: solar and wind and battery power. That's the plan. And

357
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: by the way, the Germans have taken it, and other

358
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: European countries have implemented it fully, and they have absolutely

359
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: decimated and hallowed out their middle and working class. They've

360
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: destroyed their standard of living. Practically everything you make now

361
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: goes into your monthly utility bills in places like Germany

362
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: and other countries in Western Europe because energy is ridiculously expensive.

363
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: And for what for the climate change scam, for the

364
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: so called global warming scam which is not even true,

365
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: so called climate change. And notice who are Heally's biggest backers.

366
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: It's all of the big energy companies because they're getting

367
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: filthy rich off of her, so they pour money into

368
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: her campaign coffers, and she just keeps raising the cost

369
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: and raising the cost and raising the cost. And you

370
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: know who gets screwed, you and me. Thank you for

371
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: that call, Larry Nicki in Bradford, Thanks for holding Nicki

372
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: and welcome.

373
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: Hey Jeff, good morning. I want to talk on your topic,

374
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 4: but I make sure I end I have an apology

375
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 4: for you, so let me end with that more. Heley

376
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 4: is an absolute cruk. Can we call and opt out

377
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: of this because my summer bills are even higher than

378
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: my winter bills because of central air. I don't I

379
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: don't want to be paying interest in adding another twenty

380
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 4: five percent on today.

381
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: Ugh, Nikki, can you do me a favor? Please? Can

382
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: you hang on? Because my summer bills I have central

383
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: air conditioning as well. Takes one seven two six six

384
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, let's go

385
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: right back to Nicki in Bradford. NICKI, you were saying

386
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: at times your summer, your utility bills and the summer

387
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: because you have central air conditioning as do I, is

388
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: even higher than in the winter. So if they're gonna,

389
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, take off ten percent or for two months,

390
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: or twenty five percent for two months in February, in March,

391
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: and then increase it by twenty five percent, say in August,

392
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: in September or July and August plus adding interest. Hell,

393
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: you're not going forward, you're going backwards. Please, Nikki, pick

394
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: up where you left off.

395
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 4: I've never been buttoned by Mike before. I feel very special.

396
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 4: I feel like one of the top fans. This week

397
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 4: is fantastic. This one worth waiting forty minutes on the phone. Now,

398
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: how is this fiscal responsibility? How is she quote teaching

399
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: her constituents fiscal responsibility. I'll give you a hamburger. I'll

400
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 4: give you a hamburger today. You can pay me tomorrow.

401
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna add on that's so ridiculous. She is

402
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: such a crook. This is such a shell game. I'm

403
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 4: really serious, Like, can we who can we call to

404
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 4: get opted out of this? I'll spend six hours on

405
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 4: hold with National Grid that I have time. That's fine.

406
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Well, what National Grid does if you want, I mean,

407
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know this better than I do. You

408
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: can get on a payment plan, right, so you can

409
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: spread out your payments over the year. So you can

410
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: just do that as well when it comes to this

411
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: ten percent twenty five percent so called reduction. But look, Nikki,

412
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: you're right, she's forcing it on everybody. It's more it's

413
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: a shell game. She's taking one hundred and eighty million

414
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: dollars god knows from where. By the way, she has

415
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: spent five billion. That's with a B five billion dollars

416
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: on illegal aliens. So you know, we're getting shafted left,

417
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: right and center. Our tax payer money is being stolen,

418
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: it's going to illegals, it's going into the pockets of Democrats.

419
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: And we're not even talking about an audit. And you know,

420
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: many of the audience is saying, and I agree with them.

421
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: Audience members are texting me and they're completely right. Until

422
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: we get that audit done, she has no right to

423
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: touch anything. Never mind just pull out another one hundred

424
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: and eighty million dollars for this, you know, gimmick in February.

425
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: In March, Nikki, I've got to ask you this, do

426
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: people have people? Are you know, ordinary people in Massachusetts.

427
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about limousine liberals. I'm not talking about

428
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: well connected donors. I'm not talking about people who you

429
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: know in the pharmaceutical industry or in the financial services

430
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: who are doing well and continue to do well, but ordinary,

431
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: hardworking taxpayers of Massachusetts, working middle class people. How much

432
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: more of this can we take in all seriousness? Or

433
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: are people now just going to be forced to leave?

434
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 4: What's what say you, NICKI, Well, my husband is on

435
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: his way home from working hard right now. He works

436
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 4: third shift. We've never said let's just go to Florida.

437
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: And I got to tell you he's getting close to

438
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: retirement age, and not just because of all the shoveling

439
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 4: he and I the quality time we did this past weekend.

440
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: But we are seriously considering it. We have one daughter

441
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 4: in Minneapolis, and we have one daughter down in Saint Augustine,

442
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 4: and I don't know, I think we've never considered it

443
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 4: as much as we have lately. But my apology to

444
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: you is that years ago I called you and told

445
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: you that you were the reason your show is the

446
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 4: reason that I'm on high blood pressure medication. But our

447
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: thirty second wedding anniversary is tomorrow, and I just want

448
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: to retract it and say he is the first reason

449
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 4: I am on blood pressure pressure medication. You're the second

450
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: reason I'm on blood pressure. Actually it might be the third.

451
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 4: I think Bara Haley's the second reason.

452
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: Nikki. Well, happy, happy wedding anniversary, and thank you so

453
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: much for calling. And really, God bless you. Don't be

454
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: a stranger. Call again. Six one seven two six six

455
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight. No, I always say this, really,

456
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, I save you money. You don't need to

Speaker 1: This was I believe it was the local twenty five

481
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: that did a story on several consumers and how they're

482
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: reacting now to what Mora Healy has been doing regarding

483
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: raising energy costs and this gimmick reduction that she's now

484
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: trying to pass off as a real saving and it's

485
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: really heartbreaking, but it really captures how bad things are

486
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: getting in the state of Massachusetts, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. So

487
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this. This This is

488
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: from an individual by the name of Ben thread Gould,

489
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: and here's what he says. He recently bought a townhouse

490
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: in Oxford, Oxford, Massachusetts. But and this is the key point,

491
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: he hasn't moved in yet. He's got this beautiful town home.

492
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: He's excited, but he hasn't He hasn't stepped foot in

493
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: it yet. He's not living in it. In fact, he

494
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: hasn't even plugged in any appliances. And yeah, it's a

495
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: bit cold out there, but he says he keeps the

496
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: heat at the absolute bare minimum so the pipes don't freeze.

497
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: So think about this. He bought a house he doesn't

498
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: live in it. The appliances they're not plugged in, so's

499
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: there's no like, there's no power. You don't need power.

500
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: It's not using power. The only thing is he's got

501
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: the heater on bare, bare minimum. I guess whatever, sixty degrees,

502
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: whatever it is, just to keep the pipes from freezing.

503
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: That's it. You know what. His monthly bill was, first bill,

504
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: first bill in his house. One month he got slammed

505
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: with a one thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars bill

506
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: from National Grid. One thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars

507
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: from National Grid. Blank you, as the guy said, and

508
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: I did. I'm not using anything. I haven't even stepped

509
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: into the house, and you just hammer me with a thousand,

510
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars bill. So here's what he says,

511
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: and I, frankly, look, I don't blame him. I can't

512
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: blame him. Quote it's out of control. I've never come

513
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: even close to half of this bill in utilities combined.

514
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Ben Threadgold said, had I known this previously, I wouldn't

515
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: have purchased a house back in Massachusetts. So I guess

516
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: he left, and I guess he decided to come back,

517
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: and now he's regretting it. So here's what he continues

518
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: to say. Even at a reasonable mortgage payment, to have

519
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: an electric bill ranging anywhere from eight hundred to one

520
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars a month, why would I ever sign

521
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: up for that when I can go somewhere else by

522
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: cheaper real estate, cheaper cost of living overall, than staying

523
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts and seeing all of our money just going

524
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: out the window. Well, yeah, you're making the utilities rich,

525
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's what That's what they're doing there.

526
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: You're just making the utilities rich, and people like Al

527
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: Gore and you know, all these others that are pushing

528
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: this Green New Deal scam. You're just making liberal elites

529
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: rich and they're connected cronies. That's all you're doing. It's

530
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: a massive What it is is it's a massive transfer

531
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: of wealth from the working middle class, from the middle

532
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: taxpayers to the elite one percent who are connected to

533
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. That's what's happening in the name of

534
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: quote unquote climate change. So look, let me put it

535
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: to you. You pay through the nose for a home.

536
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: You've got mortgage payments up the wazoo, You've got huge

537
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: property taxes, You've got state income taxes, You've got sales taxes. Okay,

538
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: you've got all kinds of taxes, excise taxes, you know

539
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: the taxes in this state. And then they hit you

540
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: with one thousand to twelve hundred utility bill every freaking month,

541
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: and you're basically not using much power. Now, you tell

542
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: me on what planet is a middle class forget working class?

543
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: Is a middle class person? How are they able to

544
00:37:51,480 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: survive in this state? You're almost begging people to leave. Now,

545
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: I love this state, Okay, I'm you know, I'm a

546
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: bitter ender. I'm probably gonna stay to the end. My

547
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: wife loves it here. My kids absolutely adore it here.

548
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: They love the schools, they loved their friends. They just

549
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: love Massachusetts. But I'm being very candid with you, like

550
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm in the confessional. The cost of living is out

551
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: of control. I took my family now we're not talking

552
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: utilities and gas and energy, and I took my family

553
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: out to five guys. We didn't have much. I had

554
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: a burger fry, so did Ashton, so did Ava, so

555
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: did my wife. Grace had a milkshake. The kids had

556
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: cookies at home. So no dessert for them, it's one

557
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. What did I have? A burger and a fry,

558
00:38:53,239 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: family of four? One hundred bucks gone, It's gone. The

559
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: American dream is come, is slowly beyond is. It's becoming

560
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: harder and harder to achieve the American dream. It's harder

561
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: and harder to buy a home because they're so expensive.

562
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: Then it's harder and harder to maintain a home because

563
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: it's so expensive. And the Democrats wonder why so many

564
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: people are leaving Massachusetts, and not just Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,

565
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: Blue states like New York, California. There is a mass

566
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: exitus going on, and they wonder why taxpayers are fleeing

567
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: because life is getting too expensive. And they're trying to

568
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: blame Trump for an affordability crisis. No, no, no, no, this

569
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats own lock stock and barrel. This is more

570
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: a Heely's affordability crisis. Agree, disagree six one seven two

571
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: six six sixty eight. Si, maestro Mike any we got

572
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: a full board. Let me know who you are, Okay,

573
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: Anthony in Michigan. Thanks for holding Anthony, and.

574
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: Welcome, doctor Coooner. It's ben a minute, you know, I

575
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: love this kind of subject matter. Someday I'll pay the

576
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: flight out there. I got to be your special guests

577
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: for like a half an hour. Let me see if

578
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: I can get this done. Okay, First of all, win sucks,

579
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: end the story. I never thought i'd be here, Jeff.

580
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 2: But I met a fellow in media business development and

581
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 2: made a case for solar a while back, and I

582
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: have to say he's correct. China has a huge solar

583
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: expansion in the last year. They've done more than we've

584
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: done in thirty years. It's the easiest to roll out,

585
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: I might, but the thing is it needs to be

586
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: on buildings and zones, not on farmland. So there's a

587
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: couple of companies right now in the United States that

588
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 2: are rolling it out big time. One is a company

589
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 2: called te Slash t One, and of course Elon. They

590
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 2: have their own solar so that's got a place, Jeff,

591
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: believe it or not. Now, with all due respects, are

592
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 2: you're wrong on batteries. Batteries are a storage device. We

593
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: literally can double the grid right now, Jeff, with them

594
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: and the big players are a company called Eos and

595
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: of course Elon with his Mega packs and Mega blocks.

596
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: So with that said, there's a firm that wanted to

597
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: put them out by clobbin and the nimbi's went crazy.

598
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: So you know, once again, with all the respect and

599
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to bag on you or at state,

600
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 2: Massachusetts shoots itself in the foot. So it's the biggest

601
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: area of growth for Tesla right now. It's one of

602
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: their highest profit margin devices. They've got these blocks Jeff

603
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: called mega packs and mega blocks, and all the AI

604
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 2: centers are putting them on. So that's what's going on there.

605
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: Of course, everybody blew it on nuclear Massachusetts close to plants.

606
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 2: But I got a star for you, Jeff. This one

607
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: is really My daughters used to be in the sport

608
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: of kings and so you know, the parents would sit

609
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 2: and watch while they were practicing. And one of the

610
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 2: fellow dads is like, hey, did you grow up in Massachusetts.

611
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, he goes, what's wrong with those people

612
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: in that state? I'm like, why, he goes. I got

613
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: a friend of mine working for a consulting firm in

614
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: ann Arbor. They want to build a natural gas tank

615
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 2: in the Boston Harbor for Nigeria natural gas, and the

616
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 2: press went crazy saying like you know after nine to eleven. Oh,

617
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 2: but it can blow it up. So they killed the

618
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 2: project because Friendless fine with it. He still got paid

619
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: for the consulting work. But Nigeria wanted to sell you

620
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: guys tongues of natural gas. You don't have any pipelines

621
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 2: right now, Jeff. I'm you know, I don't have any

622
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: joy in this. I grew up in Massachusetts, but I'm

623
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: watching that state. You know, gonna be ranked fifty as soon. Jeff.

624
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get AI centers there because you need

625
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: the energy. You know, you don't have any energy battery systems.

626
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: You don't have any nuclear power plants going in it,

627
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: didn't put any natural gas pipelines. And yes it's on

628
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 2: al Gore and this green fixation, but there is a

629
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: room for solar. There is a room for battery storage.

630
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: My god, the state of Massachusetts, if they had any rains,

631
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 2: they put in the battery stories to help people out. Oh,

632
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: I get so frustrated by it.

633
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: This all, Jeff, I really do well. No, Anthony, Look,

634
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: we're becoming the California of the East coast. Okay, that's

635
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: what's happening with Massachusetts. And you're right, these AI data centers,

636
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: which are going to create a ton of jobs, but

637
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: they need a lot of power. They suck up a

638
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: lot of power. We don't have the grid, we don't

639
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: have the capacity in Massachusetts to do it. And you're right,

640
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: we should have embraced nuclear power. It's cheap, it's reliable,

641
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: it's safe, it's almost limitless energy. The French use it

642
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: in France. We don't. Okay, Morahey killed not one. You

643
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 1: know this better than I do. Anthony Morrahelly killed not one,

644
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: but two gas pipelines. The woman is a lunatic. And

645
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right about the Nigerians. They were going to

646
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: sell us a ton of natural gas. Are bill had

647
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: they just done that? The two forget the nuclear power,

648
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: even although that would have been great. But if we

649
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: had just taken the two gas pipelines and taken the

650
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: natural gas from the Nigerians, our energy costs would be

651
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: so much lower gas bills, electricity, energy. I mean we'd

652
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: be paying a fraction of what we're paying now. So

653
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, look, paying three hundred dollars a month for

654
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: energy utilities and energy costs or one thousand, three hundred

655
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: is a massive difference. It's your lifestyle. And that's what

656
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: they've done. That's what they've done to us in the

657
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: last fifteen to twenty years, the last five years in particular.

658
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: It's one thousand dollars a month. One thousand dollars a

659
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: month is twelve thousand dollars a year. What's twelve thousand

660
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Well, that's going out, that's eating out,

661
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: that's going to the movies, that's a vacation, that's extra

662
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: spending money. That's your standard of living. That's the extras

663
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: to give you, you know, some of the amenities of life.

664
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: So we're getting squeezed on every turn. Housing is almost unaffordable.

665
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: Rent is almost unaffordable. I'm just stating the facts. Food

666
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: keeps getting more expensive. Gas is expensive. Then you throw

667
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: in all the utilities, okay, and insurance that's another thing

668
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,479
Speaker 1: that keeps going up, like you can't breathe. They're hitting

669
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: you at every corner. And what I don't get is

670
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: and so why I keep asking the audience, I mean

671
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: Bill and Sudbury. He pays bills too, doesn't he? Like?

672
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: Am I missing something?

673
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 2: Like?

674
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: Do they like to pay twelve thirteen fourteen, fifteen hundred

675
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: dollars a month in utilities? Do they like to pay

676
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: eight nine hundred thousand dollars or whatever it is for

677
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: a home or three thousand dollars a month in rent

678
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: or what? I guess they like having three four roommates

679
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: and everybody chip in eight hundred bucks, seven hundred bucks.

680
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: And you know we live like in China where everybody's

681
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: packed into one apartment. Like they like that? Like I

682
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: mean what they like paying one hundred dollars when they

683
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: take a family out for a couple of burghers and

684
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: French fries? Like what they like that? You feel proud

685
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: of yourself, Like I just go down the whole list,

686
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, doesn't after a while, isn't

687
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: your quality of life, your affordability? Doesn't that matter? Or

688
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: are you just here to work for the Democratic Party

689
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: and be their serfs and their slaves? Honestly, after a

690
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: certain point, I don't know what to tell you. Anthony

691
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: is always thank you so much for that call. And look,

692
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: I've got to say this. I said it on X

693
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: last night and I'm going to say it again. Now,

694
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: where the hell is the mass GOP? Where is the

695
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: Massachusetts Republican Party? You have a deeply unpopular Democrat governor.

696
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: She's beatable, she's vulnerable. She's killing the middle and working class.

697
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: We have a massive affordability crisis, never mind the illegal

698
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: alien problem, where she's dumping billions and billions of dollars

699
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: and there's less money for roads, less money for schools,

700
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: less money for healthcare, less money for fire, less money

701
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: for police, five billion dollars on illegals and counting, and

702
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: the Republican Party is dead in the water. I've never

703
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. To me, this is they. They

704
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: would screw up a one car funeral. Now I'm not

705
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: talking about certain individual candidates or certain you know, there's

706
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: some excellent Republicans out there. I'm talking about the leadership,

707
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: the top leadership of the Massachusetts Republican Party. It is

708
00:47:54,719 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: an absolute disaster. It's a joke, and what should be

709
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: the most winnable election in the country just on bread

710
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: and butter issues. Okay,
