1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Good morning, Cooner country. Okay, a lot to talk about today. However,

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: what many people are discussing, obviously, is a new directive

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: from the Trump administration. This is through the State Department.

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: So this is more Marco Rubio than anybody else. But

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: clearly this is part of the Trump administration's efforts to

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: not just crack down on illegal immigration, but now to

7
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: reform and start to crack down and toughen up standards

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: for legal immigration. And so please understand that what we're

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: talking about now is about legal immigrants. And so according

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: now to a new directive issued through the Trump State Department,

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: listen now to this. Embassies consulates officers around the world

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: have now been told that they must start to take

13
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: into account, in particular health criteria of people who want

14
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: to come to the United States on a visa. Now

15
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: this could be for just a travel visa you come

16
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: in whatever vacation for a week or two or whatever

17
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: it may be, or as a student visa or on

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: a work visa, or yes, if you want to get

19
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: a Green card permanent residency in the United States. And

20
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: in particular, what they are now being instructed is that

21
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: you must look into two things. Number one, do they

22
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: financially have the means to be able to take care

23
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: of themselves, take care of their families, not be what

24
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: used to be called a public charge. In other words,

25
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: they're not going to be on the government dole. They

26
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: are able to have a job, pay for themsels, pay

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: for their family, not beyond welfare, not beyond public housing,

28
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: not take snap or food stamps, you know, in other words,

29
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: don't take any government benefits to me. That's just common sense,

30
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: That's how it used to be in this country. I'm

31
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: supporting this one thousand percent. But then they also ad

32
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: a second criteria, which is you can also look into

33
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: health and if a person has cardiovascular disease, regenerative disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes.

34
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: They're saying that now.

35
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: These case officers, people in consulates and embassies could look

36
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: at this and say, what is the financial impact on

37
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: taxpayers in the United States. If someone is coming in

38
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: with can sir, well, do they have the means to

39
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: pay for their treatment when they come to America? Can

40
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: they sustain themselves? Say they going to come to America,

41
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: say they want a green card, Well, if they're fifty

42
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: years old and life expectancy now is about seventy five

43
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: and they have cancer, are they multimillionaire? Say, if they

44
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: come from Saudi Arabia or whatever country, can they then

45
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: provide for themselves and take care of their cancer treatment?

46
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: Say they have mental health issues, suffer from chronic depression,

47
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: bipolar disorder, whatever it may be. Are they able to

48
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: take care financially? Are they able to take care of

49
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: their mental health issues? Or will they become a burden

50
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: on taxpayers either by requiring or needing public cash assistance.

51
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly what that's the terminology in this new guidance

52
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: or governmental in institutionalization. Meaning they're gonna have to be

53
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: on Medicaid, they're gonna have to be on whatever mass health,

54
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be on Obamacare. In other words,

55
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: can they pay for themselves if they're sick? And if

56
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: they can't pay for themselves yet? No, their butten it

57
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: is forbidden. Do not allow these people to come in

58
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: because you don't want them to be a burden, a

59
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: quote unquote public charge, a burden on the taxpayer, a

60
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: burden on our immigration system. Now, the most controversial of

61
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: all is the guidance about obesity, fatness, people being too

62
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: fat and those who suffer from diabetes. Part of the

63
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: guidance is crystal clear saying that they now want case officers, embassies, consulates,

64
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: whatever to now look at people who are overweight. These

65
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: are immigrants, now potential immigrants, people who are going to

66
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: get a visa to visit our country or stay in

67
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: our country. And what they're saying is, in plain English,

68
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: we don't want fat people and obese people. And the

69
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: reason why is, they say, because generally obese people will

70
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: have heart issues, will have blood pleasure issues, many will

71
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: be suffering from diabetes, and so can they afford to

72
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: pay for their own insulin. If they can afford to

73
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: pay for their own insulin, fine, we'll let them come in.

74
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: But if they can't pay for their own insulin, why

75
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: should the taxpayers pay for their insulin, just to give

76
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: you as an example, or pay for them to get

77
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: heart treatment or a heart operation. So what they are

78
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: now saying is that they're going to use the criteria

79
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: that basically they don't want fat sauls coming into the

80
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: United States, and especially if you have type two diabetes,

81
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: they really don't want you. Now they're not saying automatically

82
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: if you're four hundred and fifty pounds, they're not going

83
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: to admit you to come into America. Or if you

84
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: have type two diabetes, they won't let you come into America.

85
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: If you show that you can pay for your insulin,

86
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: they'll let you in if you get a medical exam

87
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: and they say, yes, this person maybe's overweight, but right

88
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: now there are no health issues whatsoever, and this person

89
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: has the means should they develop serious health issues to

90
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: pay for themselves, take care of themselves, they'll let you in.

91
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: So it's not a blanket policy of no obese people.

92
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: But what they're saying is they're trying to discourage fat people,

93
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: obese people, people with overweight people from being admitted into

94
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: the country as immigrants on visas. And it is on

95
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: a case by case basis. But if a case officer

96
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: looks at someone and says, you know, three hundred and

97
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: fifty four hundred pounds already on type two, you know,

98
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: type two diabetes already on insulin, high blood pressure, income

99
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: level is not going to be that high when they

100
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: come in. You know what, this person's likely going to.

101
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 2: Be a war to the state.

102
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: Now, this person's going to have chronic health issues, and

103
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: most likely the US taxpayer is going to have to

104
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: pick up the tab. And as the guidance says, treatment

105
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: often costs hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars of

106
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: taxpayer money on the taxpayer's dime. So they now have

107
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: the discretion to say, and yet, no, we're not going

108
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: to give you the visa. You're not allowed to come

109
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: in now. As you know, liberals, civil rights groups, the ACLU,

110
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean, their heads are exploding, they're going bunkers. They

111
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: say this is discrimination against the obese, against fat people,

112
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: against sick people, against people with diabetes, against people with cancer,

113
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: against people with mental health issues. And they're saying that

114
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: they should people should be allowed to come in, regardless

115
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: of their weight, regardless of their health, regardless of their

116
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: mental health. Now let me just say this right away.

117
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Generally I am in favor. There's no question. We don't

118
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: want to be, you know, a nursing home for the

119
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: entire world. We're not the Salvation Army, we're not the

120
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: Red Cross for the entire world. Why should we be

121
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,359
Speaker 1: importing people, say, who are schizophrenic, who are severely bipolar,

122
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: who suffer from severe chronic depression, And then we're left

123
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: eye to take care of them, or as more often happens,

124
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: people who have serious heart issues. By the way, the

125
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: number one killer in the world is cardiovascular disease, according

126
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: to our State Department. According to the World Health Organization,

127
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: eighteen million people die every single year from you know, strokes,

128
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: heart attacks, heart failure. Many of them would love to

129
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: come into the United States to get the best treatment

130
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: in the world. So heart disease is a very serious problem.

131
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: One out of every ten people in the world suffers

132
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: from diabetes. I suffer from diabetes. As you know, I

133
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: have type two diabetes. My only here's my only concern

134
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: with this, by these standards today, if we rolled back

135
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: the clock twenty five years ago, okay, when the cooner

136
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: man came in on a work visa and then eventually

137
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: got a green card and of course eventually became a

138
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: naturalized American citizen, I I don't think they would allow me.

139
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: I think they'd look at me and say, huh, well,

140
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: you're about forty pounds overweight.

141
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: That's not good.

142
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: High blood pressure, yeah, check, high cholesterol yeah check. Type

143
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: two diabetes. I didn't have it then, but I was

144
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: in the early stages. Looks like type two diabetic.

145
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: Any year. Now check.

146
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Sorry, Jeff, I know you want to come. I know

147
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: you have a lot of things to contribute, but you're

148
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: just too fat. No, you're You're a fat soul. And

149
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: the answer is no. Six one seven two six, six

150
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight is the number six nineteen on

151
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: the great work, you know, Jeff Cooner, Boston's bulldozer. Okay,

152
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: So I want to ask all of you what do

153
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: you make of these new guidelines, a new criteria now

154
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: that the Trump administration is going to be applying to

155
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: These are legal immigrants. Now, these are for immigrant visas.

156
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: So it could be just literally, you know, a travel

157
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: visa to come for a couple of weeks going down

158
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: to Florida or Disneyland, or I don't know, come here

159
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: to Massachusetts, say in the summer to go to Cape

160
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: cod or whatever it may be.

161
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 2: That or for.

162
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: Student visas, work visas, also green carts to apply for

163
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: permanent residency. And so you don't just have to show

164
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: that you're financially able to sustain yourself, especially if you're

165
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,479
Speaker 1: applying to come here on a work visa or a

166
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, a green card, a permanent residency. They want

167
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: to make sure if you're going to be living in

168
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: this country for a sustained period of time, that you're

169
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: not just going to be an award of the state.

170
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: You're going to be living on welfare. That to me,

171
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer. What they're also now saying is

172
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,479
Speaker 1: that health criteria is going to be almost as important

173
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: as the financial criteria. They don't want people coming in

174
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: who are sick, who have cancer, who have serious heart disease,

175
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: cardiovascular disease, other kinds of diseases as well, people who

176
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: are coming in maybe with mental health issues, schizophrenia, bipolar,

177
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: you name it, serious, serious depression, these kinds of issues.

178
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: But obesity, they say that is now a major consideration.

179
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: They don't want fat people coming in. Now you're going

180
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: to say, Jeff, what's fat? Right, what's the definition of fat?

181
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: They're saying someone that is really overweight that because of

182
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: their weight, they suffer from type two diabetes, have high

183
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: blood pressure, probably early state of heart disease. But we're talking,

184
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, people who are really really overweight. I'm not

185
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: talking about somebody with a love handle, you know, or

186
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: whatever they could lose ten pounds or whatever. No, No,

187
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: we're not talking that. We're talking about people you know

188
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: who are fat, I mean another way to put it,

189
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: they're obese, they're big. They say that what's happening is

190
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: many of them are coming in they have chronic health

191
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: issues because of their obesity, and then we the American taxpayer,

192
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: have to pay for their insulin, We have to pay

193
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: for eventually their heart meda you know, their heart treatment,

194
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: or their heart medication or their heart operations. That this

195
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: is becoming massively expensive. And unless they can show that

196
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: they have the financial means to pay for you know,

197
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: their insulin or if they you know, need a heart

198
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: operation or whatever, then the answer should be no. We

199
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: don't want sick, overweight people. According to the Trump administration

200
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: coming into the United States, agree disagree generally. Let me

201
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: just I'm not an inhumane man, but generally, I think

202
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: we have way too many. I'm not talking I'm talking

203
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: out legal never mind illegal immigration. Legal immigration where they

204
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: abuse our generosity, where they come on a travel visa

205
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: and then head straight to a you know, they come in,

206
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: they claim to for a week or two or three

207
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: weeks vacation, and it happens all the time. They go

208
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: to one of our hospitals and claim, you know, and

209
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: get taken care of. They come in and say they

210
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: have heart issues, they're going to have a heart attack,

211
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: they're about to have a heart attack, and boom, they

212
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: have to be taken care of. So this is costing

213
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: us a fortune. And I don't think that we should

214
00:14:54,440 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: be paying for you know, foreigners is insulin. I don't

215
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: don't think we should be paying for their heart operations.

216
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we should be paying for their mental

217
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: health treatment. And then Charles in Florida made a very

218
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: good point, Jeff, what about people who come in women pregnant,

219
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, seven eight months or whatever. Many of them

220
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: come in claim they're just here to be on vacation,

221
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: but they're really here. It's called birth tourism. They're here

222
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: to just have the baby in the United States. The

223
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: baby is then an anchor baby, and then the baby

224
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: gets automatic American citizenship. That should also be looked at.

225
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: I completely agree, Charles. I think no, again, it's a

226
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: judgment call. You look at us, you know, you look

227
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: at a couple, you look at someone. It's on an individual,

228
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: case by case basis. But you say, no, I think

229
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: they're here. They're not here to really see Disney World.

230
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: You know, they're not really here to go to the

231
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon. No, they're here to come and have an

232
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: anchor baby. No you're not. No no travel visa sorry, no,

233
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: we're not going to let you in, you know. Or no,

234
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: no student visa, absolutely not. No. Now, the left is

235
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: already complaining, the Democrats are already complaining, and many Rhino

236
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce, open borders republicans, globalist republicans are already

237
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: complaining that this new criteria, especially on health and obesity,

238
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: that this is going to lead to quote unquote too

239
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: many refusals. And I'm looking at this and I'm saying,

240
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: our immigration system is already overburdened. It's already rife with

241
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: fraud and abuse, and we're already taking in people from

242
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: all over the world, and they're already straining our healthcare system.

243
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: So I'm all for toughening, you know, toughening criteria across

244
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: the board. Look, I can just tell you this. When

245
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: I came to the United States, I already had a

246
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: job waiting for me. I applied for the job from Canada,

247
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: and I had to show that not just that I

248
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: was the most qualified, but that they were Americans who

249
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: didn't have all of the specific sets the criteria that

250
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: they were looking for. I spoke multiple languages, I had

251
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: several expertise in different areas of the world. I don't

252
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: want to give you my whole resume, but that's how

253
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: I got the job. Now, I also had to go

254
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: through a background check. I also had to go through

255
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: a criminal background check. They also gave me a medical exam,

256
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: but it was a broad medical exam. It was do

257
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: you have a contagious disease? You know, I don't. Do

258
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: you have tuberculosis or something like that? It wasn't you know?

259
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: This is the cooner man overweight, which I was, is

260
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: the cooner man on high blood pressure medication which I was,

261
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: is the counerman.

262
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: High cholesterol, which I was.

263
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: But it was a general medical exam, and they did

264
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: a drug test, by the way, all of which I

265
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: agreed with. So now they're going to raise the criteria,

266
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: raise the standards. Six one seven two, six, six sixty

267
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, I just want

268
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: to read to you one message and one text, and

269
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to go right to the phone lines. Six

270
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: one seven two, six six sixty eight sixty eight is

271
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: the number. This is from seven eight one, Jeff. The

272
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: criteria that you mentioned in your opening monologue is nothing new.

273
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: When I got married in nineteen seventy nine to an

274
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: Eastern European woman and was arranging her immigration here to

275
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: the United States, I had to officially quote unquote sponsor her,

276
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: which required me to be financially respond her. In other words,

277
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: she would not be eligible to receive welfare or other

278
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: social benefits. Now, that was not too long ago. When

279
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: on earth did that change and who changed it? That's

280
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: not the standards today. I hate to tell you this,

281
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: seven eight to one. Those standards now, it eroded slowly.

282
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: They were slowly undermined, eroded, a lowered both Republican and

283
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: Democrat administrations because they were desperate or determined to bring

284
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: in as many not just illegal immigrants, but legal immigrants,

285
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: and to open up our borders, and so they want

286
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: to make it easier and easier and easier. No, you

287
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: can get a green card, You can even get a

288
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: work visa in the United States, even if you're on

289
00:19:54,520 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: say SNAP, or if you're applying for public housing vouchers

290
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: or whatever, or foodstam mean I mentioned food stamps already,

291
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: or if you know, take your pick whatever you want,

292
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: say heating assistance in the winter time or whatever. You

293
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: can be on one. You can't be on all of them.

294
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. That's the new criteria. So you can

295
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: be you know, you can be on WICK that's fine.

296
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: You can be on SNAP that's fine. You can be

297
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: on public housing that's fine. You can even take EBT

298
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: that's fine. But you can't take four or five. You

299
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: can't take you know, a lot of them. They will

300
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: allow you one, maybe two, and they'll still allow you

301
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: to get a work visa, or to get a student visa,

302
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: or to get.

303
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: A green card.

304
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: So this idea of financial economic self reliance, those days

305
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: are gone. Now Trump is trying to bring it back,

306
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: and that's why they're toughening up the criteria. And that's

307
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: why in general I support it, not one hundred but

308
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: one thousand percent. The controversy, the real quote unquote, if

309
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm putting this in air quotes controversy is the line

310
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: on obesity, people who are overweight, people who are quote

311
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: unquote too fat, that they want to start turning those

312
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: away as well, because they say it's leading to many

313
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: health issues when they arrive and it's just too much

314
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: of a burden and a drain on our already overburdened

315
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: healthcare and welfare system. And that's why I'd love to

316
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: get your take. Should wait? In other words, being overweight,

317
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: being obese, Should that be a major factor in whether

318
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: we allow people to come to the country legally, to

319
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: give them a visa whatever that is, to visit US

320
00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: for travel, tourism, student visas, work visas, green cards? Should

321
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: that be a criteria? Six one seven two six six

322
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Uh. This is

323
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: from Nancy and this is what Nancy on messenger wrote.

324
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Good morning, Jeff, Well, good morning to you Nancy. Back

325
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: when immigrants came to this country again, we're talking legal

326
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: immigration that arrived on Ellis Island. They were checked out

327
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: for health problems, they had to have a job and

328
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: a place to live. It's not much different this time,

329
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: you know than this now. I agree. I think Trump

330
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: is trying to revive the Ellis Island model. And it's

331
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: very true when people came in through Ellis Island, if

332
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: you had tuberculosis, if you had a serious illness, I'm sorry,

333
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: if they felt you had a mental defect, you know whatever. Politically,

334
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: if you were a communist or an anarchist or a subverb,

335
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: they sent you back. They said, I'm sorry, no, we're

336
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: not you know, we're not going to take care of

337
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: the whole world. That's not our job. You want to come, come,

338
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: you have to have a job. You have to be

339
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: able to provide for yourself practically immediately. You have to

340
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: have a place to stay or a sponsor. And you've

341
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: got to be relatively healthy. Some are a little more healthy,

342
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: some are a little less healthy. But you're not here

343
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: to be a burden or a drain on the public treasury. Now,

344
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I don't know how to Let's say,

345
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: if we did it through Ellis Island again, you know,

346
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: would we have you know, you know one hundred you know,

347
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: one hundred treadmills and you come in and you're like,

348
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 1: you know, like, let's say me, you know, I'm coming in,

349
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: I'm schlepping in. And they're like, well, you know, we

350
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: like that resume cooner, but.

351
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: Whoa hey, do.

352
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: You ever try getting a salad once in a while,

353
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, get on that treadmill.

354
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: Go go, go, go go.

355
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta burn that bab you got to

356
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: burn that fat off before we let you in. That's

357
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: the so called controversy. So let me ask all of you.

358
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: Should people who are really obese or overweight, should they

359
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: be disqualified from being given a visa and allowed to

360
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: enter our country. I'm just curious, what do you say, yes?

361
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 3: No?

362
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: Is this quote unquote fat shaming? Do you think Democrats

363
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: will use it to attack Trump as shaming fat people

364
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: or obese people? Now, furthermore, let me just throw this

365
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: on the table as well. What do you say to

366
00:24:53,200 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: the argument that a lot of incredibly productive, creative, intelligent

367
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: immigrants who came to the United States historically many of

368
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: them were overweight. We're not talking about somebody you know

369
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: who's got leukemia or brain cancer that we're bringing in.

370
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: They're overweight. Does it lead to health issues? Of course?

371
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: But if you do a cost benefit analysis, many people

372
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: overweight have been phenomenal immigrants. Should that be a disqualifier?

373
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: I just got to throw that out there, and in retrospect,

374
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: would that mean the cooner man? Would I be barred?

375
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: And you see, you seem like you see where I'm

376
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: conflicted here. You know, Mike loves this new criteria because

377
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: he says, if they applied it over twenty five years ago,

378
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been allowed to come in and he

379
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to deal with me on a daily basis

380
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: every morning. So he loves this new criteria. You know, me,

381
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm you know, I don't want to

382
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: be a hypocrite about this. Six one seven two six

383
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: six sixty eight sixty eight. And then you've got Sandy, who,

384
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: by the way, lost eighty pounds, is you know, honestly

385
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: in tip top shape awake in one eighty?

386
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: Really? Did? I mean? Just work?

387
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: It was marvelous, marvelous diet. And Sandy makes the point

388
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: now that she's slim. Right now, everybody is, you know,

389
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: everybody can make fun of the cooner man because they've

390
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: all lost weight. In the booth there, Mike has been

391
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: hitting the bike and Sandy's been hitting awake in one eighty,

392
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: So everybody's making, you know, jokes at mike'spense. But Sandy says,

393
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: so are we maybe going to do it on a scale?

394
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: Say you come in for just a travel visa or

395
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: a student visa, Okay, two hundred and eighty pounds, you've

396
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: got to be less than two eighty, But if you're

397
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: two eighty and an under will let you in. But

398
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: if you want to be on a work visa, it's

399
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: two fifty. Okay, that has got to be two fifty

400
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: or under. But if you want to be a permanent resident,

401
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: we're cutting it off at two twenty. So should we

402
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: have a scale if for different visas, different weight benchmarks,

403
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: are different weight criteria and what ultimate weight? Would you say?

404
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: Is the cutoff to fifty to eighty three hundred three

405
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: point fifty? I mean, that's you know, we got to

406
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: start looking into that if we're going to apply this criteria.

407
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, so people ask me how much do I weigh?

408
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: Everybody's asking me that question. I'm a two sixty man,

409
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty pounds, So maybe let's do it

410
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: this way. Then let's make the cutoff two hundred and

411
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: sixty pounds.

412
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm for it. I'm in.

413
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: Anything less than two sixty, I'm screwed.

414
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: You see my dilemma here?

415
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: Six one seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight

416
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: is the number?

417
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: Okay, should obesity? Should you know? Being too fat? Hate

418
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: to put it that bluntly, but that's what it is.

419
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: Six forty nine on the Great WRKO Jeff Cooner Boston's bulldozer.

420
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight

421
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, before we go to the blazing

422
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: phone lines. The Cooner Country poll question of the Day

423
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing, siding and windows. Okay,

424
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: here it is Cooner country which should disqualify? And again

425
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: now we're talking about a legal immigrant. Which should disqualify

426
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: an immigrant seeking entry into the United States? A they

427
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: don't have a job, be their fat? So what do

428
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: you think is the bigger qualifier which should disqualify an

429
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: immigrant seeking entry to come to America? The entry into

430
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: the United States. A they don't have a job. B

431
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: they're fat. Personally, I'm an a on this, but then

432
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: again I am biased, you know so, but that's me

433
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: all right. You can vote on our web page WRKO

00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:06,800

442
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: Cooonerman?

443
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: Why is it always the battle of the bulge with you?

444
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: I am married to a great Italian cook. I'm serious, Grace.

445
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: Wow. Last night, for example, she made pasta and meat sauce. Uh.

446
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean it was incredible, just incredible. I loved it,

447
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: The kids loved it. Eva brought one of her friends over.

448
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: He loved it. So when you got a wonderful Italian

449
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: cook for a wife, it's hard to stay slim. I

450

Speaker 1: don't know what else to tell you. I'm human six

00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: holding and welcome my word.

Speaker 3: Jeff, I have fat, five fat friends.

455
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: You're four of them.

456
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: See now, you and I can make jokes like that

457
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: and not get offended. I could never say that to

458
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: a woman.

459
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, women tend to be very sensitive about their weight.

460
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: I do agree with you on that, Larry.

461
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: So I am a former fat man myself. I've lost

462
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: ninety pounds wow, and I got myself into it. I

463
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: paid to get myself.

464
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 4: Out of it.

465
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: I didn't rely on the government, and so I agree

466
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: with it. In being serious weight excessive weight, I was

467
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: classified by the VAS morbidly obese. Is contributes to six

468
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: out of ten of the leading causes of death, six

469
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 3: out of ten. We need to stop having people come

470
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: in that are burden to the society. Our society. You

471
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: couldn't flip it. You couldn't be sick and go to

472
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: a different country and expect them to take care of you.

473
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: They would never let you in. Why do we always

474
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: have to be the exception?

475
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're completely right, and Larry, look just to

476
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: further because I agree with you. We don't have an

477
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: obligation that takes sick people in or people who are

478
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: morbidly obese, because you're right, that kind of obesity really,

479
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you're right, it's going to kill you

480
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: and through diabetes, or through heart disease or heart attack,

481
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: or there's so many other factors that it leads to.

482
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: You're completely right, But this is what I think most

483
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: Americans don't really quite comprehend. You go to say, France,

484
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't care, Germany, Austria, Denmark, I take your pick

485
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: and you come in and you're sick unless you have

486
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: health insurance. You know, if you pay like at the

487
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: airport through your agent when you book a flight, unless

488
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: you have you know, travel health insurance, they're not going

489
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: to take care of you. Or if they do take

490
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: care of you, you got to give them a credit

491
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: card like in other words, you know, you got to pay.

492
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: We're the only ones who give it for free. So

493
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: they're like, if you don't have the means to pay,

494
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: they're not going to take care of you. They're going

495
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: to put you on a plane and say go back.

496
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: It's not our problem. Our healthcare system is for our

497
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: citizens and legal residents who live in our country. So

498
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's why I always I always get health

499
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: in usually not always, but often I get health insurance

500
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: when I fly to another country. You know, what is it,

501
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: travel health insurance or whatever. So we're the only ones

502
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: that keep giving away our health and our healthcare system

503
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: for free, and that's why people abuse it, and especially

504
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: because we have very good, very high quality healthcare that

505
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: most of the world, it's the envy of the world.

506
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: So you're completely right, Larry. Look, say you have.

507
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: Cancer and you go to France and you say, you

508
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not feeling well today. And you go

509
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: to the hospital and you say, you know, I got

510
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: leukemia or a brain tumor or whatever, stomach cancer, and

511
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: you know I need help. They say, yeah, well go

512
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: back to America, like you know, or you know, give

513
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: us your credit card, cut us a check, the check clears,

514
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: we treat you. So I think that's what Americans don't understand. Larry,

515
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: I got to ask you this, all kidding aside, what

516
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: do you say to the argument that it is fat

517
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: shaming that. Yeah, you can make an argument for you know,

518
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: cancer or tuberculosis or you know other you know, illnesses

519
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: and diseases.

520
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: But you know, if.

521
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: Someone is three hundred pounds, that person can still hold

522
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: down a job, contribute, be productive, live decades and decades

523
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: and decades. Yes, they'll have health problems high blood pressure, cholesterol,

524
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: probably type two diabetes, but you know it's it's not

525
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: on the same par as say, you know, I don't

526
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: know having leukemia. What do you say to that argument

527
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: that what we're doing now that Trump is did was

528
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: that Trump is targeting and discriminating against the obese. What

529
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: do you say to that argument?

530
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 3: Larry. This seem off the wall, but I'll bring it

531
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: right back. Yesterday you talked about how veterans aren't given

532
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 3: the same things, but they're held to a higher standard

533
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 3: as illegal you know what I mean. Yes, veterans, you cannot.

534
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: I love you, Jeff, but there is no way you

535
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 3: go to join the military, the US military. You would

536
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 3: not have made the standards right.

537
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have.

538
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: Standards in the military for a reason. I was six'

539
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 3: four WHEN i went, in two hundred. Pounds they still

540
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: made me lose twenty five pounds BECAUSE i was not

541
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: in shape two hundred. POUNDS i had a pot belly

542
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 3: two hundred, pounds so they said.

543
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: You got to lose.

544
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: THAT i had no choice or to get thrown out.

545
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 3: This we have standards for a, reason and especially when

546
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 3: it comes to your, health there there should be you,

547
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: know there's always exceptions every. Rule but we we need

548
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 3: to go back to public shaming in my, opinion because

549
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 3: we lowered the standards on. Everything everybody's running around you,

550
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: Know i'm a. Victim i'm a. Victim i'm a. Victim

551
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: you hear them demanding for bigger seats in the, airplanes you,

552
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: know bigger, hallways because there's you, know all this stuff

553
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 3: we have to when did this country have to start

554
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 3: accommodating to the few when the many have their proverbial stuff?

555
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 3: Together trying to temper WHAT i say SO i don't

556
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 3: get too. Fined you, know we've got to go back to.

562
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: Back the standards have to apply across the, board and

563
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 3: we shouldn't be these people shouldn't be a burden to

00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 5: To germany a year after high school on a student,

619
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 5: visa and she was required to not only have healthcare

620
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 5: in The United, states to show she had a certain

621
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 5: amount in her checking account to show that that she

622
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,920

623
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 5: their healthcare plan over. There number, One SO i wanted

624
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 5: to bring that. Up THE us spends over two hundred

625
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 5: billion dollars a year on obesity related, issues ALTHOUGH i

626
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 5: think it's way more and closer to a, trillion because

627
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 5: a lot of, cancers et cetera are caused by. Obesity,

628
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 5: however this is, rich very, rich coming from a government

629
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 5: who created the food pyramid in the late nineteen seventies

630
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 5: because of the corruption of big sugar and big food

631
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 5: telling us that fat makes us fat and that sugar,

632
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 5: doesn't and so we should be heavily laden on. Carbs

633
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 5: and look what's. Happened we started at zero cases of

634
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 5: childhood two diabetes in nineteen eighty to astronomical numbers. Today

635
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 5: we need education in this. Country big food does not

636
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 5: care what they put in our. Food In, europe it's

637
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 5: a whole different. Story and let's look at snap and

638
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 5: what percentage of junk food is bought by people on

639
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 5: the welfare, system and it's more than twenty five. Percent

640
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 5: so we have a big issue in this. Country but

641
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 5: again it's our government it's the corruption of the government

642
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 5: that has caused this issue and we need to scale at.

643
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:11,799

Speaker 1: no on?

722
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 6: THIS i think that instead of putting people on a,

723
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 6: SCALE i, think like other, countries they need to be

724

Speaker 6: able to pay for an, insurance a health insurance improve

725
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 6: they have one.

726
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 5: Because the obesity EPIDEMIC caut is very. Expensive and if

Speaker 5: they're going to be on, welfare, yeah they can't come.

728
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 5: IN i don't think.

729
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 2: So to, me that's the bigger one of the. TWO

730
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: i agree with.

731
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,360

732
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: prove that you're not going to be on, WELFARE i

733
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: don't want you in our.

734
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:11,560

Speaker 1: Holding frank and welcome.

739
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 4: You a great. Show, look thank you FOR i have

740
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 4: two points to. Make one IS i find it interesting

741
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 4: that the same leftist that might object to screening criteria

742
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 4: for legal, immigrants we're fine when we had, rapists, murderers drug,

743
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 4: runners child, abusers child traffickers teaming over our border On.

744
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 4: Jeck so that's the first. Point the second point IS

745
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 4: i do believe some kind of health screening criteria should

746
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 4: be part of a comprehensive bundle of criteria that we

747
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 4: screen legal immigrants coming over. Here that would include things

748
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 4: like potential productivity as a member of, society, employability education,

749
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 4: level desire to, acculturate either they Speak english or agree

750
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 4: to Learn, english what their current state was in the

751
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 4: country they're coming, from and then health should be one

752
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 4: AND i would make it more comprehensive than just how

753
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 4: much they weigh or being. Fat that needs to be

754
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 4: a factor and they need to determine how best to determine.

755
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 4: That but to your other callers, point obesity leads to

756
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 4: so many other, things and we don't want to have

757
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 4: these people coming in and being a. Burden in, fact

758
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 4: they're coming here to realize their Dream, well we just

759
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 4: want the people that are best equipped to achieve their

760
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 4: dreams in The United states by being a productive member

761
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,920
