1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, I promise I'm gonna go back

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: to the phone calls. Uh, just please take about a minute,

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: and I want you to just take this in now.

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: I want to give a hot tip to John F.

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: Gately.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: He's the one who put the numbers up and now

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: they're going viral. It is the percentage of SNAP users

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: by city or town in Massachusetts. And this is you know,

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: we're saying, well, where are the numbers coming from. This

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: is straight from the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance. So

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: these are numbers straight from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: the government. These are the top ten cities or towns

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: whose populations are on SNAP. And I gotta tell you

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised. The number one on that list

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: is Springfield. Springfield forty seven percent forty seven point four.

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna round off for simplicity's sake, Okay, Springfield

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: number one. Forty seven percent of the population in Springfield

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: are on SNAP on food stamps. Number two Holyoake forty

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: three percent. Number three Lawrence, the sanctuary city of Lawrence,

22
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: forty two percent, forty one point seven forty two percent.

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I thought Lawrence would be number one.

24
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: If you were to ask me, you know, like on

25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a game show the number one city in Massachusetts on

26
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: food stamps or snap, I'd say Lawrence. No, Lawrence is

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: number three. Springfield is number one, thirty six percent. Southbridge

28
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: they're number four, thirty six percent, Fall River, Fall River

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: number five thirty four point three percent. New Bedford next

30
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: thirty four point two percent, Brockton at number eight thirty

31
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: three point six percent, North Adams number nine thirty three

32
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: point five percent, and number ten Fitchburg thirty point three percent.

33
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: That's a lot. I mean, that's a lot. That's a lot.

34
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: And almost all of these towns in cities are sanctuary cities,

35
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: almost all of them. The one that surprises me at Springfield.

36
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that high number one, but

37
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: that high.

38
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: Lawrence.

39
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I knew that Holyoke, Yes, Fall River, Yes, Brockton.

40
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: I knew there were illegals in Brockton, and I knew

41
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: there were people on food stamps, but not that high.

42
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: To be honest, New Bedford, yes, but this is a

43
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: little bit surprising. I'm just saying. So that's the top

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: ten list. You can look it up mass DTA and

45
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: you can see where your town or city is ranked

46
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: percentage of the population. Okay, very quickly, this is a

47
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: text again from Grace. She rarely texts me throughout the

48
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: entire show, but she's been doing this today because this

49
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: is a very very you know, this topic obviously gets

50
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: to her. Jeff, we need to have a plan going forward.

51
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: And the question now is should the Republicans in Congress

52
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: just end the filibuster i e. Invoke the nuclear option?

53
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: What do you do when Democrats are clearly sabotaging Trump

54
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: and American citizens, They are holding us hostage. Something has

55
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: to be done before millions of Americans go hungry or

56
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: god forbid, a plane crash happens. We are trying to

57
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: save the constitution and it is noble, but they are

58
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: trying to destroy. In fact, they are destroying the country

59
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: and this is just unacceptable. In other words, Grace's point is,

60
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about which is beautiful, don't get me wrong,

61
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: and noble, but we're talking the constitution, checks and balances,

62
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: you know, rule of law, protect our country in the future.

63
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: In other words, these noble ideals, they're just destroying the country.

64
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: They're just they're burning it down. And so Grace is

65
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: basically saying, I guess, pretty much like Trump, it's time

66
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: to pick the off and we can worry about the

67
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: filibuster and everything else down the road. In other words,

68
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: and the filibuster, invoke the nuclear option, smash the Democrats,

69
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: stop this before it gets out of hand.

70
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: Ah.

71
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't like to give up the filibuster because I

72
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: know what Democrats do when they're in power. But I'm

73
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: starting to see the logic of the other side now,

74
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see it. Six one seven two six

138
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: Dave in New Hampshire. So disabled veteran was out of work.

139
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: By the grace of God, there go many of us.

140
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: His wife was working but wasn't making that much money

141
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: or enough money. They needed help. They needed food stamps, snap,

142
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: and they went to the Department of Transitional Assistance.

143
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: Please Dave, pick up where we left off.

144
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: Okay, so, yeah, my wife wasn't making much money. I

145
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 4: was out of work. Luckily it wasn't for that long

146
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: of a time, but I mean, we barely had enough

147
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: for the rents, never mind anything else. We went to

148
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: the TOBAMAA Transitional Assistance and Salem, mass and they originally

149
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: gave us, They give us sixteen dollars a month, and

150
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: you can imagine how little that gets you a month,

151
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: and the second the first month they gave it to us.

152
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: The second month they did. And then they sent a

153
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: letter saying that I made too much money the year before.

154
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 4: But this is now a poll of May of the

155
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: new year, and I haven't made any money now in

156
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: over three months.

157
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 6: So I don't know what that had do with it.

158
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: And they cut us off completely. And then we went

159
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: to a couple of food banks. And I don't want

160
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 4: to blame all food banks, because I'm sure there are

161
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: good ones, but the two that we went to, one

162
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: and Salem one in PVD. We went through picked a

163
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: few things, you know, a couple of bags or the stuff.

164
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: And at the end they said, oh, you knew we

165
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: have to ask yous and questions, you know, income, blah

166
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: blah blah. And then they asked us how many children

167
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: do you have? I said, well, we don't have any children.

168
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 4: We never did. And they said, oh, well, then you

169
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: can't come here anymore, apparently because after eighteen years old

170
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: you don't eat any longer. So all these people, like

171
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: I said, these illegals, they get everything handed to them.

172
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 4: I've never asked for a dime of anybody. I I

173
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: collected unemployment one time when I first came out of

174
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: the army, because you could. And and I just I've

175
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: had it with all these people, like is that sixty percent?

176
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 4: And there are legals on there and they get two

177
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 4: grand a month, and so like you know, how many

178
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: people I know they are elderly or veterans. And like

179
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 4: I said, it was sixteen back then, now it's twenty

180
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: two dollars a month that they've given them. What what

181
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: are you going to get with that?

182
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 6: You know?

183
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: And I just I don't understand it, and I don't

184
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: think they should get the filibuster. And I agree with

185
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: it was Dan who said Trump needs to address the

186
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 4: nation because so many people do not know. They just

187
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: know what ABC, NBC, so forth down on the line

188
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: tells them on TV. And if Trump needs to get

189
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 4: this information out, like you said, exactly why the government

190
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 4: is shut down and doing and you know, weaponizing hunger.

191
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: Like I said, how many veterans are out there? How

192
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: many elderly people that don't have anything. I have a

193
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: seventy year old neighbor, you know, next door. She has

194
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 4: a very fixed income. And I already told her tomorrow

195
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take her with me and we're gonna go

196
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: to market basket and I'm gonna buy a couple hundred

197
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: dollars worth of groceries. I can't help everyone, but I

198
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 4: can help one.

199
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Oh God, bless you Dave, Seriously, God bless you, Dave. Look,

200
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: that's sixteen dollars. I know now it's twenty two, but

201
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: when you went that's sixteen dollars. That's an insult. I'm

202
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: not trying to rile you up. I'm just being honest.

203
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: That's a slap in the face. That's a spit in

204
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: the face. Pooh here, that's what I'm sorry, Dave. If

205
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: you don't mind me asking, and if I'm getting personal,

206
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: please tell me. I promise I won't be offended. When

207
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: you went to the food banks and they said, no,

208
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: that's it, you know, here's your two groceries and don't

209
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: come back. Or when you went to the Department of

210
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: Transitional Assistance, did you tell.

211
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 7: Them you're a veteran?

212
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: Did they know you were a veteran?

213
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: Like did you say, you know, hey, I served my country,

214
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, I put my life on the line for

215
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: all of you.

216
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: Like did they know that? Did you tell them?

217
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 7: I did?

218
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 4: But they don't care about that. At the Department of

219
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: Transitional Assistance, there wasn't a single person in there, and

220
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: there was a lot of people in there. We had

221
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: to wait a while. There was not a single person

222
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 4: in there. They spoke English, including the people working there,

223
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: you know, Bailey, and they didn't care. I mean the

224
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 4: people that were in there were pretty much the people.

225
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: They are the same ones that are all collecting and

226
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: now and they've just given it to their people. They

227
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: don't care about us, the Americans, you know. Like I said,

228
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I have a good job now and because

00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760

00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 6: Things are going well now.

232
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: But I've been through bad times and I know many

233
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: have and we don't get the help that we need.

234
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 4: But they getting Like I said, I mean, how many

235
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 4: how much does it add up to a month? Like

Speaker 4: after two months because I made too much money of

00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 4: the year before. These people have been getting there for

00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: stupid idiots don't try to start taking bags from people

250
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: in the parking lots stuff in New Hampshire, because that's

Speaker 1: a diet. In other words, the foodstamps get cut off tomorrow.

293

294
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, the shutdown diet. They could go for a

307
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,240

00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,919

00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 6: hundred thousand signatures on a petition to break to the

313
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 6: Assembly or whatever.

314
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: Mel, My buddy, I hate to break it to you,

315
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: but our moonbats are even crazier than your moonbats. And

316
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna say, come on, Jeff, nobody's crazier

317
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: than ours. Michelle Woo is going to win election in November,

318
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: not just in a landslide. Mel And I would think

319
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: you live to screw me. Like, if you haven't screwed

320
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: me at least once a show, you're like, you're not

321
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: a happy man.

322
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: We're back on all right, nine.

323

Speaker 1: Nine eight on the Great w RKO Jeff Cooner Boston's

324
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Bulldozer six one seven two six Sex sixty eight sixty

325
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: eight Phil in Salem, thanks for holding Phil, and welcome

326
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: a fellow Croatian.

327
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: Good morning, and happy Halloween from the Witch City.

328
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: Has the Halloween, my fellow Croatian.

329
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: Anybody wonder how much money has been collected from the

330
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: marijuana tacks in this state. It's amazing, but we have

331
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: never heard of how much money has actually been collected

332
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: from the marijuana tax, and you never will because that

333
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: is an.

334
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: Astounding high point.

335
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 3: Now that is twenty percent, and then also with sales tax,

336
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: I think it winds up being about twenty four percent.

337
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: So you know, go in any marijuana shop and that

338
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: stuff's not cheap. I assure you I go there because

339
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: I buy the bomb from my neuropathy. And you know something,

340
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: people are dropping a couple of hundred dollars every time

341
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 3: they're in there.

342
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: So seriously, are you just joking?

343
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: Oh? The bomb itself and I'm a retired chemist in

344
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: the biomedical industry, is forty dollars fridgear one ounce. But

345
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: it works okay, and topically it's better than taking pain pills,

346
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: that's for sure. But all the money they collect from that.

347
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: Sorry, Philip, I don't promise.

348
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: I'll let you finish your point, but no, really, So

349
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: when you go to the local whatever, pot shop, cannabis shop,

350
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: whatever you're saying, you see customers dropping hundreds of dollars.

351
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: Really, you buy an ounce, they usually sell them by

352
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 3: the eighth of the quarter rounds, and you're going anywhere

353
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: six hundred dollars an ounce for good stuff.

354
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 2: Holyd you're looking at an ounce.

355
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: Sure, because you're looking at THAC levels that are around

356
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: anywhere from twenty four to thirty two percent, which is

357
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 3: six five to six times higher than what it was

358
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 3: when I was a kid back in the seventies.

359
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: Wow, man, that's a lot.

360
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 3: But that's a lot of money. But they've never heard

361
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: They always tell you we made money from this tax

362
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: on that. But you know what, if you notice also

363
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: about miss Healy and her reprobate lieutenant governor who destroyed

364
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: Salem Driscoll, who, by the way, looks like she should

365
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: be on a snap diet, that's for sure. She gets

366
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: so big she's going to get her own freaking zip code.

367
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: But one of the problems is if you notice, after

368
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 3: the cocaine bust out in Springfield, suddenly now they're going

369
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 3: to stop the thirteen percent hiking electricity. We didn't hear

370
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: anything about that until you know, some bad news came up.

371
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: So it's amazing.

372
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: I got to ask you this.

373
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: You're obviously a shrewd man, a worldly man, and insightful man.

374
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: This Rainy Day funds. It's even many liberals in the media,

375
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: I've never seen this before.

376
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: They're like, this is odd. You know, New York is

377
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: at least going to do a stopgap.

378
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Temporarily Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, but she won't. And

379
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: they're the ones saying there's eight billion in the Rainy

380
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: Day Fund. I mean, there's plenty of money to keep

381
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: these snap payments going for a week or ten days.

382
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: Easy if she wanted to. So my question to you is, Phil,

383
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: do you think she's not topping into the fund because

384
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: she's spent the fund. In other words, she spent it

385
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: all on the illegals and now she doesn't know what

386
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: to do, so she's playing stupid. I mean serious, I'm

387
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: just curious, what's your theory.

388
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: Not just her, it's the whole problem with the one

389
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 3: potty state.

390
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

391
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 3: I worked in Woolburn for many years and I remember

392
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: the hotels were always empty around there, but not when

393
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: she was putting them up at the Hotel Healy. You

394
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: know those hotel rooms, even if there's the botel's sixth type,

395
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, palk the car in front and get your door,

396
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: it's still a lot of money. Every hotel will come

397
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: fit in quality. And they were all packed so only

398
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: had people coming in from out of town for conventions

399
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: and conferences. You couldn't stay in the town that they

400
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 3: were going to go to a meeting at because they

401
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: were all packed with non speaking parasites from third world

402
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: countries who, like you said earlier, come here because of

403
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: a free handout, which, by the way, by handing them

404
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: any money, we're already breaking the federal laws that have

405
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: been on the books for over a century. As you know,

406
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: and I know when you came through Ellis Island, every

407
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: one of those people had to promise not to take

408
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: federal assistance to ten years. Now we just hand the money. Meanwhile,

409
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: vet's get kicked in the act pod my French, they

410
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: kicked it to the side of the street. They get

411
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: treated like dirt. Sixteen dollars you know, it's sixteen dollars

412
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: will buy you. I can't even buy you a jar

413
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: of balm if you have oupritis and neuropathy at a

414
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 3: pot shop. So it's astounding and one quick thing, let

415
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: us not go to the nuclear option. Does people forget

416
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: that Harry Reid when he bought the nuclear option, found

417
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: up shoving Obamacare where the sun doesn't shine. Boy, do

418
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 3: we don't need that?

419
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 2: I remember that?

420
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: No, Phil, That's why I'm so reluctant to go that,

421
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, do the nuclear option and end the filibuster.

422
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: No, that's I know.

423
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: My wife is now disagreeing with me on this, but

424
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, man, I remember Obamacare.

425
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.

426
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to repeat of that. So my fellow Croatian, please, hey,

427
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: don't be a stranger. Call again, my fellow American friend.

428
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: That's why I'm sorry. I'm again standing the filibuster. I

429
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: remember what it was like in the past when we

430
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: were out of power, and we need that filibuster. I'm

431
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: telling you we need it. Dan in New Hampshire, Thanks

432
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: for holding Dan, and welcome.

433
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking the car.

434
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 7: Jeff, you want to know what a communism, You want

435
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 7: to know what a communist and a socialist is. Look

436
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 7: at Woo, look at Heley, using the population, using the disabled, people,

437
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 7: the children, everyone that needs this funding that you basically

438
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 7: give them it so they.

439
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 3: Can't take care of themselves.

440
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 7: You give, you give, you give, you give, and then

441
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 7: all of a sudden you say, oh, we're going to

442
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 7: stop this. We're gonna cut all these benefits that we

443
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 7: gave you. We're gonna now enlist you in and basically

444
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 7: have an uprising at every store, at every venue that

445
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 7: serves food. People are gonna go ballistic over this, Jeff.

446
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 7: When you've got people who are disgraceful like Woo, like Healey,

447
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 7: who are basically communists and socialists that are using the

448
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 7: population against this, a successful gun.

449
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: I guess, a successful president. All you're dead on. They're

450
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: weaponizing hunger and
