22
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: much gas is where you live. When I went to

23
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: tank up, and this was maybe two days ago, gas

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: was three thirty nine a gallon in my area. It

25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: was two eighty nine, just before the Iran War began.

26
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: So it's gone up about fifty cents a gallon three

27
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: thirty nine. Says that he went to tank up recently.

28
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: It's three point fifty where he is in New Hampshire.

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: Sandy in response to the call from Michelle in Florida. Remember,

30
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: Michelle was complaining about saying, hey, things are pretty expensive

31
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: here in the west coast of Florida where she is,

32
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: gas is three point fifty a gallon. She listed other things,

33
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: but she said, you know, hey, gas is not cheap

34
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: here as well. Three fifty. This is what Sandy texted me, Jeff,

35
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: three point fifty a gallon. It's five bucks a gallon

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: now in Massachusetts. Gas is not cheaper here. In mass

37
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: taxes are not cheaper here. Food is not cheaper here.

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: So she's saying, you know whatever, you know. She understands

39
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: Michelle is not happy with her salary, and she's in

40
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: the healthcare business. She's a nurse. Salaries are higher here

41
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: than in Florida. But Sandy's point is, you know, gas

42
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: is more expensive here than Florida. Taxes are much higher

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: here in Florida. Food is more expensive here than Florida.

44
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: But I'm just the five dollars now, I know California

45
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: is five thirty three. The average in California five dollars

46
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: thirty three cents a gallon, which to me is outrageous, Okay, disgusting.

47
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: That's Gavin Newsom, that's you know, that's what happens when

48
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: you have an you know, an insane socialist running your

49
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: state into the ground. Okay, but has gas gone up?

50
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean, am I missing something? Has gas gone up

51
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: to five bucks a gallon in mass or in parts

52
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: of Massachusetts is my area of the exception, When the

53
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: last I checked it was, as I said, three thirty

54
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: nine three forty. Okay, just round it off, three bucks

55
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: and forty cents a gallon. Mike says it's three point

56
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: fifty where he is in New Hampshire. Has it gone

57
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: up that high that it's now five bucks a gallon

58
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: because of the war in Iran? I'm just asking because

59
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: if that's the case, holy mackerel, I mean, that's that's California,

60
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: Hawaii levels six one seven two six six, sixty eight

61
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: sixty eight, Bob in Marblehead. Thanks for holding Bob, and welcome.

62
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,440

Speaker 3: fifteen Salem.

64
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, Yeah, that's pretty much where it is

65
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: in my heir a little. I'm a tad lower, but

66
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: in that range, keep going, Bob.

67
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: So to answer your question, yes, yes, and hell yes.

68
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: My My situation is I'm eighty three, my wife turns

69
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: eighty next month. I'm a thirty h Navy veteran. There

70
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: is no incentive to stay up here. I've got a

71
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: friend down in the Navy helo pilot down in Florida,

72
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: he said, who's lived on there, born up Lynnfield or

73
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: Linn somewhere up in the Nasha here, he said, there's

74
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: no incentive your pension, Your Navy pension goes a lot longer,

75
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 3: and there's plenty of jobs down here for veterans. So

76
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: but you know, I just you know, the values. The

77
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 3: town is technically broke, like the state, we have to

78
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: go in for an override. I don't know how many millions.

79
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: They haven't calculated it yet, but it's going to be

80
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: at least in the millions in the state is technically broke.

81
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: They are so corrupt they won't even finish the audit

82
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: or even expose what the audit is. That is so aggravating,

83
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: so there's no incentive to stay. Sorry, potholes all over

84
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: marble Head, I mean, you know we used to have

85
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: them filled. I'm looking at three right on one of

86
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: the main roads as I talk to you from my truck.

87
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's it's horrible. And this is classified

88
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: as a wealthy town and very historic.

89
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: Oh I've been to marble It's a beautiful town, Bob,

90
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: no question. But the potholes, now, I hear you. Look,

91
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: all the money is going to the illegals. That's let's

92
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: call it as it is. So they don't want an

93
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: audit because they're stealing the money, and they don't want

94
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 2: us to know how much is going to the illegals.

95
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: Everything is going to the illegals.
