1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Good morning, Cooner. Contrary. Okay, my friends, the war in 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: Iran continues to rage. Obviously, gas prices now are going 3 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: up again. And the media, you know, they never cared 4 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: about quote unquote affordability or high gas prices or high 5 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: inflation when Joe Biden, when Senile Joe was you know, Joey, 6 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: when he was president of the United States. But they're 7 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 1: making an awfully big deal now about the fact that 8 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: gas has gone up obviously since the war began. Apparently 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: now we're at about ninety six dollars a barrel for 10 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: a ninety six dollars a barrel for oil, and it 11 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: actually hit one hundred, then it went back down again, 12 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, now all of these talking 13 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: heads on CNN, MS, now, the nightly networks, you name it, CNBC, Bloomberg, 14 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: suddenly now they all care about inflation and affordability. But 15 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: if you actually look, just leave aside the Iran war 16 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: for a second and this current spike in oil and 17 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: in gas prices, what's really happening is that there is 18 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: a massive economic and political divide occurring as we speak. 19 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: It's been growing now for many years, but it's now 20 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: really coming to a head, and that is between red 21 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: state America and Blue state America. And in particular, some 22 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: of the latest statistics that are now out show that 23 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: Blue states are losing population. They're suffering serious demographic decline, 24 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: They're losing their tax base. The young war work and 25 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: taxpayers are fleeing in record numbers, and they are slowly 26 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: but surely committing economic and political suicide. The facts do 27 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: not lie, the evidence does not lie. And leading the way, 28 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: believe it or not, is Massachusetts. But along with Massachusetts, 29 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: you have New York, California, New Jersey, Illinois, and Washington State. 30 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: And to show you how bad the situation now is, 31 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this. Washington State just 32 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: passed by the way against their state constitution. The state 33 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: constitution prohibits a state income tax. It doesn't matter. The 34 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: moonbats trample over the constitution. It doesn't matter if they 35 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: do it at the state level or the national level. 36 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: In Washington State, the Democrat legislature and their moonbat governor 37 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: now are going to impose a ten percent state income tax. 38 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: Nine point nine percent, it's really ten percent, And in 39 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: particular they are pushing a wealth tax. This is now 40 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: the rage in blue states. California now big wealth tax 41 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: on millionaires and billionaires, Washington State, New York Momdonni has 42 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: now come out and said there should be no billionaires 43 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: at all, and he wants to soak millionaires. Massachusetts, as 44 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, we have a four percent cer tax on millionaires. 45 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Illinois now wants to match Massachusetts. And so what is happening. 46 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: The more you push this anti wealth high tax, soak 47 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: the rich Marxist agenda, which by the way, is not 48 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: driven by good economics, no, no, no, It's driven by ideology, 49 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: an ideology that wants to punish success, punish the wealthy, 50 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: punish those that are economically a highly mobile. And so 51 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: let me tell you what's happening. When I say to 52 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: you Starbucks, what do most people think besides obviously expensive coffee? 53 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: To me overpriced, but let that go. My wife loves Starbucks. 54 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: Grace loves it. She goes for her fill up every 55 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: single day. Okay, but let that go her seven dollars coffee. 56 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: You think Seattle, Seattle, Washington, it's an icon. Starbucks is 57 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: an icon in Seattle. Well, guess what Starbucks and their 58 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: very wealthy billionaire founder and CEO former CEO are now leaving. 59 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: They are leaving Washington State. They're done. They're fleeing the 60 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: high taxes. They're fleeing this millionaire tax and they are 61 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: now leaving Washington State for a friendlier red state. Now 62 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: it's not you And by the way, we're not just 63 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: talking about a few individuals leaving. The company is leaving. 64 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: That means they're taking all of their jobs, the tax 65 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: revenue with them, the skills with them. Now it's not 66 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: just Starbucks and Washington State. You go down to California 67 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: where Gavin Newsom pushed through again a wealth tax Yamaha 68 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: on top of so many others. Yamaha is now leaving California. 69 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's an institution and all of its jobs, 70 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: all of its employees, all of that tax base and 71 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: tax revenue. They're now going to go to Georgia, which 72 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: is infinitely friendlier. You go up to New Jersey, another 73 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: high tax Democrat, deep blue state. They're passing much higher 74 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: state income taxes. What do you think is happening? Businesses 75 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: are fleeing Exxon. Exxon is now leaving New Jersey with 76 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: all of their jobs, thousands of jobs, thousands of taxpayers 77 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: are now going to Texas and on and on and on. 78 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: It goes Illinois, which now has some of the highest 79 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: state income taxes in the country. They want to now 80 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: add a massive serve tax like we have here in Massachusetts. 81 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: Guess what, Businesses can't flee fast enough, and so what 82 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 1: you now have is a net population decline in blue 83 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: states like Illinois. In plain English, more people are leading 84 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: than they're actually going. And the people that are going 85 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: to these states are mostly illegals who all go on 86 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: welfare and drain the system. And those that are fleeing 87 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: are either businesses, millionaires who pay a lot in taxes, 88 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: despite what the media tells you, and they're taking their companies, 89 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: businesses and all of their workers and jobs with them. Now. 90 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: Compare that to red states like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas 91 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: no state income tax. Their economies are booming. They can't 92 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: get they can't build houses fast enough because people are 93 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: fleeing to those three states in record numbers, and they're 94 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: coming for the jobs. They're getting higher tax revenue because 95 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: you got more people working, more people paying time taxes, 96 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: and the prosperity you can see it. They have a 97 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: much much better quality of life, much higher standard of 98 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: living much greater economic opportunity. And now you have other 99 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: states like South Carolina among others, that now say we 100 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: want to phase out the state in state income tax completely. 101 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: Why because we want to bring in these people from 102 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: Massachusetts or New Jersey or New York, or Illinois or 103 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: California or Washington State. In other words, you soak the rich. 104 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: You don't get more revenue, you get less revenue. Why 105 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: because not only do the wealthy leave and their taxes 106 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: with them, but they often take their businesses and companies 107 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: with them as well. And that means that Blue states 108 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: now are hemorrhaging hundreds and hundreds of thousands of jobs, 109 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of young taxpayers, and they are going 110 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: to Red states. So in plain English, red states are 111 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: getting wealthier. Red states are getting more prosperous. Red states, 112 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: by the way, politically, now are going to have more 113 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: clout in Congress, because the more people you have, the 114 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: more representatives you have in Congress. Blue states are getting 115 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: much poorer, they're losing population, they're hallowing out their workforce 116 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: and their middle class, and soon you watch, they're going 117 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: to have shrinking clout in Congress because as people flee, 118 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: so does congressional representation. That's why, by the way, they 119 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: need the illegals to replace the taxpayers that are fleeing. 120 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: What we are now watching is a country now that 121 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: is divided in every way imaginable, and it is a 122 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: tale of two states, red states versus blue states. Blue 123 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: states are failing, red states are succeeding, and these blue 124 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: states are committing economic and political suicide because they have 125 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: now been captured by the radical socialist left. And so, 126 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: whether it's Mamdani in New York, or Pritzker in Illinois, 127 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: or that clown Gavin Newsom in California, or Healey here 128 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, wherever socialism has been tried, wherever this anti 129 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: wealth Marxist agenda is implemented, it's an economy killer. It's 130 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: a job's killer, it's a wealth killer. Six one seven 131 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. 132 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: Larry from Arkansas messaged me maybe about five minutes ago, 133 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: maybe ten minutes ago. I guess and said, Jeff, I'm 134 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: exhibit A. I mean, you know, Larry used to live 135 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts and now I was living in Arkansas, saying 136 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: I fled a blue state like Massachusetts because a economic 137 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: opportunity is dwindling, and the taxes are just way too high, 138 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: way too high, and its just everything is just so 139 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: expensive and so unaffordable, and they just take so much 140 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: money out of your pocket. You have to go where 141 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: there's a more jobs and b you keep more of 142 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: your money. And that's that's what's starting to happen now 143 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: to blue states, not just Massachusetts, all over the country. 144 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: Now there's also something else that's going on which is 145 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: accelerating the decline of you know, blue states, not just 146 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: economically but population wise, as that people just keep leaving. 147 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 1: Look at what Mamdani is now doing in New York City, 148 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: besides the fact that he invited a Jew hating anti 149 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: Semite pro hamas pro radical Islam sympathizer Mahmoud Khalil, the 150 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: guy that you know, our government's been trying to deport. 151 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: And they stuffed their faces because it's Ramadan, and they're 152 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: stuffing their faces because they're fasting. So now you know 153 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: the fast is over at night, and I mean they're 154 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: eating like pigs, gay and Gracie Mansin and they're showing 155 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: pictures of them stuffing their faces. But also you see this, 156 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: I never thought I would see in the United States, 157 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: in the home of the official residence of the Mayor 158 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: of New York. You see not just Khalil and Mamdani, 159 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: but it's by the way, it's all men. It's all 160 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: men on their knees praying to Mecca, Okay, praying to 161 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: Allah in the direction of Mecca. So you just see 162 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: in a room, Grace, you know, the dinner room, the 163 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: dinner table, and the and the dining room full of 164 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: these young Muslim men invited by Mamdani, and they're all 165 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: with their shoes off and they're all praying in the 166 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: direction of Mecca. So you know, so on top of 167 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: that that you're inviting terrorist sympathizers into your city and 168 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: frankly into your residence. I don't think that makes you 169 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: feel safe. But let let that go. As I like 170 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: to say, Mam Donnie is now pushing a thirty dollars 171 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: an hour minimum wage. You're going to destroy small business, 172 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: small businesses, even mid size businesses who can afford a 173 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: thirty dollars an hour minimum wage. So what do you 174 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: think is going to happen? You think people are just 175 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: magically gonna be hired at thirty bucks an hour. No 176 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna stop hiring. They're just not gonna hire. So 177 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna go straight from you know, maybe you could 178 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: have been making eighteen bucks an hour or twenty bucks 179 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: an hour or twenty two bucks an hour, whatever, and 180 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna go straight to the unemployment line. So you're 181 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: not doing workers any favor. But even more than that, 182 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: small businesses now are leaving New York. It's not just 183 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: the wealthy that are fleeing. It's not just the millionaires 184 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: and the investors and big business and these big companies 185 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: and billionaires. Now you've got small businesses that are saying, 186 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm getting the hell out of New York. I can't 187 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: make a living. This guy's gonna drive me bankrupt. He's 188 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: gonna break our financial back. I can't pay thirty bucks 189 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: an hour minimum wage. Most small businesses can't. And so 190 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: what you're seeing is not just a massive outflow. And 191 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: again I'm not talking about what you used to see 192 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: in places like Massachusetts here or New York or other 193 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: places where they go, Hey, I just hit sixty five whatever, 194 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm in my late sixties. We're retiring now. I want 195 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: to leave the cold weather. Yeah, I don't want to 196 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: put up with the winters and the cold and the 197 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: snow and all of this. I'm going to go to 198 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: Florida or South Carolina or wherever, and you know, enjoying 199 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: my golden years in a much warmer climate. That's not 200 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: what we're seeing. What you're seeing predominantly these are young, 201 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: in their twenties and thirties, taxpayers, many of them educated, trained. 202 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: This is your future workforce, this is your tax base, 203 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: and they're leaving in record numbers. Companies are leaving, businesses 204 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: are leaving, Investors are leaving. So you're not just losing 205 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: the millionaires in the billionaires, You're literally losing the thousands 206 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: and thousands of workers in a company who, by the way, 207 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: also pay a lot in taxes. So what you're seeing 208 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: now is that the tax revenue, the tax base, say, 209 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: of New York, is evaporating in front of our eyes. 210 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: By the way, the same thing is happening here in Massachusetts. 211 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: Our tax base is going up in smoke. California didto Washington, 212 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: didto Illinois, didto and what do you think is happening 213 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: in all these red states? Their tax base is getting 214 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and bigger, and there are more jobs 215 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: and more opportunities and more prosperity. And simultaneously the states 216 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: have more money so they can invest in roads, in schools, 217 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: in hospitals. That's another thing. So just you know, drive 218 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: in a red state compared to a blue state. Here, 219 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: it's potholes everywhere. There, You're like, my god, all the 220 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: roads are paved. They're beautiful. Here. Our schools have no money, 221 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: no resources. There, you're like beautiful, brand new schools. And 222 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: the teachers are getting more money, staff is better paid. Okay, 223 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: my friends, I want to ask you, what do you 224 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: make of these new findings this coming out now, a 225 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: lot of studies showing that blue states are falling behind. 226 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: People are leaving, They're leaving in record numbers. People say 227 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: that life has become too unaffordable, too expensive, Taxes are 228 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: way too high. There's this less economic opportunity that middle class, 229 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: working class taxpayers just are barely barely treading water, and 230 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 1: people are leaving. There's no question. The numbers now don't lie. 231 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: And my question to you is do you find life 232 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: now has become too expensive? Do you find the affordability 233 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: an issue for you? And I don't know. I don't 234 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: want to mean politically Biden, Trump or any of that. 235 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: What I mean is just living in a blue state. 236 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: Is it just too expensive? Is there are the taxes 237 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: just too high? Are there just not enough economic opportunities 238 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: to rise, to grow your paycheck, to get ahead? And 239 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: are you thinking of leaving to a red state or 240 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: have you already left to a red state because you 241 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: just couldn't stand the economic mismanagement and the tax and 242 00:18:53,760 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: spend crippling philosophy of the Democrats. Six one seven sixty 243 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: eight sixty eight is the number. Let me just lay 244 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: my cards on the table. I took Grace and the 245 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: kids to the movies over the weekend. Long story short. 246 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: They wanted to go see a movie. I said, sure, 247 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: why not, let's all go see a movie. Tickets fifteen 248 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: bucks each and ava now is thirteen, so you know, 249 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: under twelve you get a little bit of a child discount. 250 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: Now they all play, you know, they all pay full freight. 251 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: It's their four adults. Okay, so that was sixty dollars. 252 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: She doesn't look twelve, Mike, But I don't like to 253 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: lie Mike. Mike is saying, why don't you just say 254 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: she's still twelve? I don't like to lie, Mike, you know, 255 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: I just rouse me the wrong way. So you know, 256 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: it's just it's against my you know, what I believe in. 257 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: But anyway, long story short, so I can't even save 258 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: on ava. So now it's a full ticket for all 259 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: four of us, sixty dollars. Okay, obviously, Grace and the 260 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: kids want some popcorn, a couple of drinks, some sodas. 261 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: Grace likes those raisinettes, you know, the raisins with the chocolate, 262 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: you know, milk chocolate coverings. They're covered in milk chocolate. 263 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Eighty four dollars at the concession stand. Eighty four dollars 264 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: for a couple of bags of popcorn, a large and 265 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: a couple of sodas and they're raisinetes. Some candy for 266 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: Grace and some a little bit of candy for the kids. 267 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: Eighty four freaking bucks. I almost got a heart attack. 268 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: Now in plain English, okay, for a movie and some 269 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: drinks and popcorn. It's due to the math, it practically 270 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: costs me one hundred and fifty dollars. And I'm looking 271 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: at this and I'm like, this is crazy. How is 272 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: a middle class family supposed to serve in Massachusetts? Now 273 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: I understand the argument is, well, Cheff, just don't go 274 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: to the movies. So this is now the life in 275 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: the you know, life in Blue State America. Don't go 276 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: to the movies like you know, and or don't go 277 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: to the moor. Go to the movies, but don't have popcorn. Now, look, 278 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: I may come across now as an entitled jerk, but 279 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: to me, I'm sorry, what are the movies without you know, 280 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: some popcorn and some drinks and a little bit of candy. 281 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's part of the whole movie going experience. 282 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: This is America, for God's sake. But now it's become 283 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: if we're a family of four, it's become too expensive 284 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: to go to a movie. And this was an afternoon showing. 285 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: By the way, it's become now too expensive to go 286 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: to the movies. I'm not talking a vacation. I'm not 287 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: talking you know, buying a you know, buying an extra car. 288 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not I'm talking about just going to 289 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: the movie. Blank you one hundred and forty five dollars. Okay, 290 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: let's not quibble. One hundred and fifty bucks. Ah, Now 291 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: you tell me how is a middle working class family 292 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: supposed to survive. Now furthermore, okay, furthermore, this is what 293 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: Morahelly and the Democrats have done to Massachusetts. That these 294 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: are facts. There is a new report, a new study 295 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: out from a think tank called the Pioneer Institute. The 296 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: numbers now are damning. And let me just say this 297 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: because this needs to be said. If the Republicans do 298 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: not defeat Heally in this year's election in November, they 299 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: are absolutely useless. I'm telling you disband them. I am 300 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: never going to support them again because this should be 301 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: a slam dunk with her disastrous record. I want you 302 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: to listen now to this. These are the facts. These 303 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: are the numbers. Massachusetts now is the number one state 304 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: in the entire country with people leaving that state permanently, 305 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: fleeing and relocating to another area. Where the number one state. 306 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: We've surpassed California and New Jersey. Heay the top five Massachusetts, California, 307 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: New Jersey, New York, Illinois. Notice a pattern, all blue 308 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: states but Massachusetts, New Mayro, Uno, New Marrow, Uno. And 309 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: as I said in the previous segment, but this bears 310 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: repeating what the Pioneer Institute stresses. They're saying it's not 311 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: just it's not people going to Florida, you know, to retire. 312 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: It's a little bit overwhelming majority between the ages of 313 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: twenty six and thirty four, both men and women, many 314 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: of them educated, who can't find work in this state, 315 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: or if they do have work, say that the taxes 316 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: are way too high, that it takes such a bite 317 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: out of their paycheck, and the cost of living is 318 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: just too expensive. Rent too expensive, health insurance too expensive, 319 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: food groceries, electricity, energy costs too expensive. They're like, you're choking. 320 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: You can barely make ends meet. So they're like, basically, 321 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: life is survival. We're just trying to survive. They're leaving. 322 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty two thousand have left in the 323 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: last couple of years alone. Now that your that's not 324 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: just taxpayers, that's not just you know, a significant chunk 325 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: of our tax base. That's your future workforce. You know 326 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: that twenty thirty forty years ago. Those are the people 327 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: that are going to stay here. Hopefully you get married 328 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 1: or whatever, find someone, raise a family, maybe, you know, 329 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: buy a house. Eventually, that's that's the future of your state. Gone, gone, gone, 330 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: and they're not coming back. Believe me. And where are 331 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: they relocating? Red states? Red states? Okay, Now you tell me, 332 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: with a record like this, how the hell do Republicans 333 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: not win the elections in November. Our biggest export is people, taxpayers, workers, 334 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: that's our biggest export. Now under more, heally, okay, now furthermore, 335 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: listen now to this. So in response to this news, 336 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: they're like, well, it's even worse than California, for God's sake, okay, 337 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: And everybody's leaving California, so it's worse here. She's asked, well, 338 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 1: maybe you should cut the state income tax, because you know, 339 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: you've got the millionaire ser tax, property taxes are through 340 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: the roof, we've got the sales tax, excise taxes. They're 341 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: killing you from all angles. So the five percent state 342 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: income tax, they've now said, well, could you at least 343 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: cut it to four percent? Now, what five to four 344 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: percent would do is, believe it or not, you would 345 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: have an extra one three hundred dollars in your pocket. 346 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: It's basically the equivalent of a refund of thirteen hundred dollars. 347 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: It's not the world, I get it, but you know 348 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred is still thirteen hundred. That helps her answer, 349 00:26:53,960 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: Listen to this, Cutting income taxes does not improve the 350 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: affordability for most people. What six one seven two six, six, 351 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight is the number? Okay, let me 352 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: ask all of you. Have you left a blue state 353 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: Massachusetts or whatever, any other state for a red state? 354 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: Not for the weather, you know, in other words, you're 355 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: retiring or whatever, that's something different because of the taxes, 356 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: the high cost of living, the illegal aliens, the crime, 357 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: just all of it together. Are are you part of 358 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: this massive outflow of people now leaving blue state after 359 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: blue state? And by the way, just so that you know, 360 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: it is now official in twenty twenty five, those are 361 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: the latest numbers. Last year, Massachusetts was the number one 362 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: state for people fleeing, leaving and relocating to another state. 363 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: California used to be number one, New Jersey. California would 364 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: fight for the number one spot. No, no, no, no, they're 365 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: number two and three. Massachusetts is now Newmero Uno and 366 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority. I don't want to beat a dead horse, 367 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: but it bears repeating. Are young, tax paying, hard working residents, 368 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: As the Pioneer Institute said, the Democrats policies under Healey 369 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: are literally hollowing out the middle class, the working class, 370 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: and the future workforce of Massachusetts. These are taxpayers, and 371 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: they're taking their taxes with them, their tax revenue with them. 372 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight, sixty eight 373 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: is the number. And we're being left with the illegals 374 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: and paying for everything. So you can see how this 375 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: is going to you know, in the end, this whole 376 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: thing is not going to work. It's you know, it's 377 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: that's what you call the third worldization of a state. Now, 378 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: I want to read this from keV. keV sent this 379 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: to me on messenger. Jeff, I am leaving Massachusetts for 380 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: North Carolina, not really a red state, more purple, but affordable. 381 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: We were close to buying in South Carolina a few 382 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: months ago. I was talking with the gentleman at the 383 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: bank we were getting our mortgage from. He says he 384 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: had been writing mortgages for thirty five years. Now, listen 385 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: to this. He said. It used to be people were 386 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: leaving Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York for Florida, South Carolina, 387 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:55,479 Speaker 1: North Carolina because of the weather. Now it's because of 388 00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: the politics and the affordability, or rather the lack of affordability. 389 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: Are you one of those people or are you thinking 390 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: or planning to be one of these people? Six one 391 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Frank in 392 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: South Carolina.

There's nothing for you. 498 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 3: Businesses are leaving. Jeff is right. We are losing businesses, 499 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 3: We're losing population. Don't listen to the idiot box. Read, 500 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 3: open your mind up and search, do your research and 501 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 3: see what's going on. This place is falling apart. Don't 502 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 3: sync with this state. Save yourself like I am. 503 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: Mike. Are you still going to listen to the cooner 504 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 1: man even though you're going to be down in Florida? 505 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 3: Of course, Jeff, of course will. Of course I'll be 506 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 3: a Florida correspondent if you want to. 507 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,959 Speaker 1: Oh, I love that, Mike. 508 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 3: I'm in Texas, so, Jeff, if I'm in Texas, aren't 509 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 3: to be a Texas correspondent. But that's all right. 510 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: Texas is beautiful as well. I got friends in Texas. 511 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: They're always telling me come on down, Jeff. 512 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 3: You don't know what I'm in the oil industry. I 513 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 3: could step out of here in Massachusetts and go right 514 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 3: into Texas and next day have a job like that. 515 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: God bless you, Mike. Thank you very much for that call, 516 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 1: a real eye opening call. Everything you said is true, 517 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: really everything everything it's as they say, the Lord's truth. Everything. 518 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the job opportunities are better, the taxes are 519 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: much lower, people are much friendlier. There's a lot less 520 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: illegals because they depour them down there. They don't let 521 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: them in, they don't welcome them, they don't put them 522 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: on welfare. And look, let me just lay it out, okay, 523 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: literally in two sentences. You know what the Democrats have 524 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: done in every blue state. Massachusetts and California are maybe 525 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: the most and New York now, okay, maybe the most extreme. 526 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: But you know, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, it doesn't matter, Okay, 527 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: Rhode Island obviously, you know, close behind. It's what Elon 528 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: must said many years ago. He said, He goes, let 529 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: me tell you what socialism is. Socialism is you take 530 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: an ordinary worker and you take five hundred dollars out 531 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: of his pocket, out of his paycheck, okay, which breaks 532 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: his back or her back. And then you take that 533 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars and you take one hundred and you 534 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: give it to a lazy person, and then another one 535 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: hundred to another lazy person, and you give that five hundred, 536 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars to five lazy people. He goes, you 537 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: know it just happened. You lost one vote. The poor 538 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,959 Speaker 1: worker who's out five hundred dollars because you're robbing his check, 539 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: but you've gained five voters because now you're putting one 540 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: hundred bucks in the pocket of lazy people. He goes, 541 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: that's the biggest pyramid scheme in human history. It's socialism, 542 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: and that's why in the end it collapses. May take 543 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: a little longer, a little shorter, but in the end, 544 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: the whole thing goes caput because what's happening now is 545 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: the worker, like Mike, or like Frank in South Carolina, 546 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: or like many of you that are or like keV 547 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 1: who messaged me I could go on, or like I'm 548 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: the worker who's getting five hundred dollars just ripped out 549 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: of it. Actually more, but let that go. I'm just 550 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: using the analogy. I'm the guy that's getting my paycheck 551 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: stolen five hundred bucks, and they're giving it to illegal 552 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 1: after illegal after illegal after illegal, or welfared deadbeat after 553 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: welfared deadbeat, or Democrat hack after Democrat hack, and I'm gone, 554 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm taking my five hundred dollars that you're stealing, and 555 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: I'm going out now after a while, when there's not 556 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: enough Mike's and Frank's and Kev's and maybe one day 557 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: even the cooner man. What's going to happen? They don't 558 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: have anybody left the fleece. They don't have anybody left 559 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: to take their money, to steal their money, to plunder 560 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 1: their money, their blood, sweat and tears, their hard work. 561 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: Welcome to Venezuela, my friends. That's what all this is 562 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: leading to. Six one seven, And that's why socialism never 563 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: works six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. 564 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: Michelle speaking of a red state, Florida, the Freedom state. 565 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 1: Thanks for holding, Michelle, and welcome, Oh je. 566 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 4: I'm actually trying to move back to Boston. Call me crazy. 567 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: Why why? It's like you know, it's like the old 568 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: Berlin Wall. You're in West Berlin, you're in West Germany. 569 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: Why do you want to go back to East Germany? Why? Michelle, 570 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: you're free. 571 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 4: Let me prefas this saying. Florida is not all what 572 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 4: people make. 573 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 3: It out to be. 574 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 4: I've been here at least a minimum of ten years. 575 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 4: I do on my own home. It is just me. 576 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 4: But taxes are expensive, house insurance is expensive. My insurance 577 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 4: has gone up. I started here at two thousand. I'm 578 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 4: now up at almost six for house insurance. Actually for 579 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 4: property tax, excuse me for property tax. I am on 580 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 4: the state insurance called Citizens because my regular house insurance 581 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 4: was almost five over five thousand dollars. My car insurance 582 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 4: for one car it is over twenty two hundred dollars 583 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 4: for the year with no accidents in a bundle. Food 584 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 4: is expensive. Gas is expensive. If I don't buy my 585 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 4: gas at bjays, I'm looking at like three fifty a gallon. Now, granted, 586 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 4: I'm on the West Coast and I'm probably in one 587 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 4: of the more expensive counties. I am in Penelas, but 588 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 4: it's not that it's medical care is not as great 589 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 4: as it is in Boston. It's crowded, there's no infrastructure. 590 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong. I love Ron DeSantis. I love him. 591 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 4: I think he's done a good job. Do I agree 592 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 4: with everything he's done? No? Do I agree with most 593 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 4: of it? 594 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 3: Yes. 595 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,720 Speaker 4: I do work for the state in the medical field, 596 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 4: and my pay is not great. I make probably about 597 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 4: what I made when I was first starting out in 598 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 4: the medical profession as a state worker, and I think 599 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,280 Speaker 4: max in Florida is probably about fifty dollars an hour 600 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 4: in a hospital setting. So it's not what people think 601 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 4: it out think what it is meant, or what it 602 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,879 Speaker 4: is what some other people say. Is it great? Yes 603 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 4: it is, But I'm high of living in one hundred 604 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 4: and five to one hundred and ten degree humanity. In 605 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 4: the summer, I've gone through five hurricanes. My house has 606 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 4: been figned, but still going through five hurricanes can be 607 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 4: really traumatizing. I would rather go through a blizzard. 608 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: You know. 609 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 4: So there's close and comes to both interesting. 610 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: Michelle, if I'm getting too personal, please tell me, and 611 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 1: I promise I won't be offended. Why you know, why 612 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: not relocate somewhere else? I'm just curious why come back 613 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: to Boston. Is it because you have family here? Is 614 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 1: that the reason? Or is it because of the healthcare? 615 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: Because you are right, the one thing I have to 616 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 1: say that Massachusetts in general, but Boston in particular, health 617 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 1: I'm going to visit. I'm seeing my doctor at one 618 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: o'clock today. The healthcare here is really world class. I 619 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: mean it's really good. And you know, when I go 620 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: see my doctor, I'm always you know, the waiting and 621 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,479 Speaker 1: I'm waiting, you know, in the waiting room, and there's 622 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,479 Speaker 1: people from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont. They'll 623 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: drive hours they go. You don't understand. It's so much 624 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: better here than where we live. So you're completely right. 625 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: The healthcare here is pop of the line. But I'm 626 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: just outside of that. Why, I mean, is it family 627 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: or why? I'm just curious, why would you? 628 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 3: Why? 629 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: Why are you coming back to Boston. 630 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 4: I have friends, I want a better paying jobs. It's 631 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 4: all of it's all of those interesting. 632 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: So you're saying salaries are higher here than in Florida. 633 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, definitely in the medical profession, yes. And 634 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 4: I'm a nurse, so yes, I make I make sixty 635 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 4: three thousand working for the state. 636 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 1: And you live in what you live on the west 637 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 1: coast of Florida. 638 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 4: I live on the West coast of Florida. 639 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: Yes, my sister used to live on the West coast 640 00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: of Florida. That's expensive that area is You're right, that's 641 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: sixty three thousand not going to get you very far 642 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: in that area, Michelle.

But 646 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 4: it's it's different. It is a different way of living 647 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 4: than in the North. It's just totally different. 648 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: Oh, I agree. And you know, for some people they 649 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,439 Speaker 1: love the lifestyle and for others it's not for them. 650 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: And it's obviously it's not for you.

So that's an interesting perspective. 661 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Look, 662 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: I will say this, and everybody's different, you know, especially 663 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 1: when it comes to weather and temperature. I like, how 664 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: do I say this? My favorite season is fall. I 665 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: love the fall. If I could have all twelve months 666 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: of the year, befall, I'd be the happiest man on 667 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 1: the face of the earth. So how do I say this. 668 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been to Florida. I've been to South Carolina, 669 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: beautiful North Carolina as well, beautiful, But I don't like 670 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: the humidity. That's just me. Grace doesn't mind it. Grace's 671 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 1: family doesn't mind it. My sister lived in Florida. She 672 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: didn't mind it at all. I just, you know, I 673 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: don't like I don't like heat in general, but humidity 674 00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: in particular. For me, Ugh, I just don't feel good, 675 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: you know. So I know it sounds a bit odd, 676 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 1: but I like the four seasons. I mean, I don't 677 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: like all the snow in the winter time, but I 678 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 1: like four seasons. And I like to live in a 679 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: place where it's a little bit colder. I know it 680 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 1: sounds nuts, but that's just how I am. So for me, 681 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: the weather wouldn't be that much of an attraction for me. 682 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 1: It's other things that would be an attraction. Six one 683 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 1: seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. But that's 684 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:32,720 Speaker 1: just me.

She worked for a family company that was sold. 702 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 5: And it's just gotten really tough financially where I get 703 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 5: a small pension and it's just not enough to cover 704 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 5: all the bills and the expenses of Massachusetts since you know, 705 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 5: we give it all way to the illegals that I 706 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,240 Speaker 5: live around a lot of them. 707 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 3: So any no, you're dead. 708 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: Look, Keith, I gotta tell you, I'm with you.
