John in Florida, the 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: Freedom State. Thanks for holding John, and welcome. 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 2: Hey, Jeff. I think me moving down here was the 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 2: best thing that could have ever happened. I absolutely love it. 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: I got a house that was so affordable, my pay 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: scale never changed from Massachusetts. I put twenty as with 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: the company up there, and I got told one day 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty, oh, we're shutting in six months, 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: but you're going to be the last one to go. 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 2: I thought to myself, well, why am I waiting if 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: I'm already going to be told. So I took my knowledge, 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 2: my experience, and I came down here. And don't let 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: people tell you they are not high paying jobs. I 15 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: left Massachusetts making one hundred and fifty thousand. I came 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: to Florida making one hundred thousand the first year, and 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: I'm up to making one hundred and twenty five thousand now. 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: And if you've got a trade and you can back 19 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: it up and you've got something to stand on with 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: knowledge and experience, there are companies down here. Most of 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: the time. You've got to find a company that has 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: somebody that's from somewhere else to understand what you're worth. 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: John. We've been getting calls and quite a few emails 24 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: from people saying, John, look, yes, Florida is beautiful. They 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: love the weather. You're right, you know, if you have 26 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: a good job, life is nice in Florida. But what 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: do you say to the argument that they're saying homes 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: have become too expensive, rent has become too expensive, A 29 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: lot of people are moving to Florida. Congestion, this is 30 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 1: driving up the cost of everything. Insurance is too high, 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: in other words, and healthcare. They say that the quality 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: of healthcare in Florida is nowhere near the quality we 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: have here say in Boston, Massachusetts, that Florida is not 34 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: the land of milk and honey the way it's often portrayed. 35 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: What do you say to that argument. 36 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: I agree with the health issues. I agree with some 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: of that. But at the same time, if you're coming 38 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: down here right now, with the economy and everything that's 39 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: going on around the world, of course you're not going 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 2: to get a good Bailey priced house. I came down 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: here in twenty and nineteen, paid twenty eight thousand for 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: my house, and it's worth one hundred and thirty thousand. 43 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: Now, wow, John, if you don't mind me asking, where 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: do you live. 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: I'm not far from Orlando. I'm right between Orlando and Tampa, 46 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: right next to the city, right next to the city 47 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: of Lakeland. 48 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: And you got a house for John, Sorry, you got 49 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: a house for one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. 50 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: I have a house. It's worth one hundred and thirty 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: I paid twenty eight thousand. It's not a shock. It's 52 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: called the manufactured home, and it looks no different from 53 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 2: what you live in. The only difference is is that 54 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: I was put on an assembly line and brought it 55 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: here in two trucks and managed and put together. I'm 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: in a fifty five plus community. There's five hundred homes 57 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: in the community where I live. The downside is I 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: don't like the fact that I have to pay a 59 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: seven hundred dollars a month lot rent to live there, 60 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: but I own the home. Out of the five hundred 61 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: homes in there, there were eighty percent of the residents 62 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 2: in there. I'd say seventy to eighty percent of them 63 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: are from Massachusetts and every somewhere else. I know people 64 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: in here from Braintreet, Waymouth, Quinsey, situate everywhere, all from 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: up north. 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: Interesting. Wow, interesting, John, Thank you very very much for 67 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: that call. I really appreciate it. Six one seven two 68 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: So I want to ask you, are you thinking of 70 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: leaving and going to a red state. There are now 71 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: reports studies come out the blue states are hemorrhaging people, workers, taxpayers, 72 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: not just you know, retirees. These are young workers, taxpayers, 73 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: the workforces hollowing out, the middle working classes hollowing out. 74 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: They're leaving Massachusetts now number one state, but it doesn't matter, 75 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey, California. People are leaving, fleeing Blue 76 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: states in droves, and they're relocating frankly, not just to Florida, 77 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: but to the Carolinas, to Oklahoma, to Texas, obviously to 78 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,559 Speaker 1: other red states. Taxes are much lower, cost of living 79 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: is much lower, much more law and order, crime is 80 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: much lower. Overall, quality of life they say is infinitely better. Agree, disagree? 81 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: And are you one of those people that's done it 82 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: or thinking about doing it? Anthony in New Hampshire. Thanks 83 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: for holding Anthony, and welcome. 84 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: Well, Jeff, I am when you first came to Massachusetts, 85 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: I was Anthony from Revere. Then I was Anthony from 86 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: New Hampshire, and when I was a teenager, I was 87 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: Anthony from Florida. So I've lived in several states. Florida 88 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: I lived for about eight years. You don't have to 89 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: worry about the alligators there. You have to worry about 90 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 3: the fire ants. They get you more than the alligators. 91 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: But when I first moved up here, and I would 92 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 3: call your show, Jeff, I would say to you all 93 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 3: the time, you need to move up here to New Hampshire. 94 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 4: It's great. 95 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 5: Well we have a refugee problem, buddy, and that's no 96 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 5: longer the case. 97 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: We just had in my town of Kingston. 98 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: We just had to rally the troops and we beat 99 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 5: them by about maybe two three hundred votes. 100 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: But they were trying to raise Anthony. 101 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: Can you hang on, We're up against the hard break. 102 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: I want to come right back to you. Okay, let's 103 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: go right back to Anthony in New Hampshire. By the way, 104 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: every word that he's saying is completely true. I remember 105 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: Anthony would often call in the past. I mean, he's 106 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: a regular caller. But what I mean is he would 107 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: call in the past and often say Jeff, you got 108 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: to come up to New Hampshire. You got to come 109 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: up to New Hampshire. It's better here than in Massachusetts. 110 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Anthony says, no more, no more. Maybe in the past, 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: but not now. Why because so many Massachusetts refugees are 112 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: bringing their left wing moonbat politics with them and they're 113 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: ruining the state. Anthony, please pick up where you left off. 114 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: You said there was a vote in your town in Kingston, 115 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, and you had to rally every single resident 116 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: to beat off the radical left by two three hundred votes, 117 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: and then we got cut off. What were they trying? 118 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: How are they trying to screw your town? How are 119 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: they trying to destroy your town? Anthony? 120 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 5: Yes, my town has minimal, minimal crime. Okay, when I'm 121 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 5: talking about crime, you might get the occasional domestic dispute. 122 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 6: You might have a teenager. 123 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: That stole its neighbors bicycle, but. 124 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: That's about it. 125 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 5: So I tell everybody that comes to visit me, do 126 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 5: not go more than five miles an hour over the 127 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 5: speed limit, because the cops will pull you over if 128 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 5: you're going eight. 129 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: And that's all the cops are are a revenue generator 130 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 3: in my town. Now, don't get me wrong. I love 131 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: the police, and I'm not saying that we don't need them. 132 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: They were trying to add two more full time. 133 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 5: Cops, Jeff, two more full time cops, okay. 134 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 4: Then the recycling plan. 135 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: I didn't even know that we even had. 136 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 4: A recycling facility. Okay, they had a. 137 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: Part time guy there. They were gonna make it full time, okay. 138 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 5: And the only way that I knew where the facility 139 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 5: is now is because they got one of those giant 140 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 5: highway signs flashing with the lights that tell you which 141 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 5: the roads are closed or whatever it's saying. 142 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 4: This facility is now permanently closed. 143 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: I have no clue where it was, and I drove 144 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: by it almost every day, jem So, like I have 145 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: to pay thirty three dollars a day for the privilege 146 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 3: of having a mortgage. 147 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 5: Thirty three dollars a day. When I first moved up 148 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 5: to New Hampshire, the roads when it snowed, it was 149 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 5: like night and day between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. 150 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: You know, it was like, oh my god, how do 151 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: they do it? 152 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: Like these roads are beautiful. 153 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 5: Now you have to wait hours and hours and hours 154 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 5: for the plow guys to come by. 155 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 4: It's it's the teachers. 156 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: You can't keep the teachers because of the pay scal partly, 157 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 5: but it's also because of all the superintendents. They're all 158 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 5: making the money and they don't do none of the 159 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 5: work and you can't even keep them. 160 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: Then bouncing around the state.

I remember there 340 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 7: was a point in time where my daughter was born 341 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 7: and she was in bed. 342 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 4: She was in the crib at. 343 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 7: Six o'clock at night, and sometimes I didn't see my 344 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 7: daughter foot like probably five or six months just because 345 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 7: of the commute. And I used to get I used 346 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 7: to get so angry over the commute. Yeah, and I, 347 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 7: you know, I and I and I had tuned it 348 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 7: to like listening to some of the music I was 349 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 7: listening to.

I need to change his commute. 352 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 7: On the way back, I just got into the right 353 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 7: hand lane, the slow lane, the old Grampa lane, and 354 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 7: put on Frank Sinatra. And I never had a problem. 355 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: Interesting, So, Ryan, you think a lot of the nastiness 356 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: and the fact that people are really rude to each other, 357 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down to road rage, the 358 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: brutal commute, the stration, the anger. It just kind of 359 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: boils over, and then you're spending so much time in 360 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: the car that it kind of bleeds over into everything else. Correct. 361 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 7: You know you have uh going on now. You have 362 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 7: the I ninety four five hundred million dollar construction project 363 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 7: going on just fifteen miles down the road.

Thanks for holding CJT and welcome. 385 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 6: Hi Jeff, CJT for Milton. How are you. I'll make 386 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 6: it quick. I know we're getting near the end. I'm 387 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 6: very familiar with Florad. I go down there off and 388 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 6: I know many people that have moved there. They're completely happy. 389 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 6: They would never move back, you know. I'm intending on 390 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 6: spending more time there in the future. I just want 391 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 6: to mention a couple of quick things. Gas prices similar 392 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 6: to here, despite what you know some may say, real 393 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 6: estate prices. If you get away from southwest Florida, which 394 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 6: is like little Massachusetts, you get away from Broward County 395 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 6: West Palm Beach much cheaper than here. You get nice houses, 396 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 6: nice pieces of land, a lot of open space around you. 397 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 6: Car insurance similar the Massachusetts. You know, it's just the 398 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 6: way it is. The health insurance. That health care down 399 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 6: there is very good. You know this idea that it's 400 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 6: somehow so much better here. Natural. You know a lot 401 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 6: of older people in Florida, they live long, happy lives 402 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 6: down there. Maybe for the most complicated operations and might 403 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 6: be a little better here, but that would be it. Otherwise, 404 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 6: it's very comparable, very good. 405 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: And CJT obviously the big one. No state income tax, correct. 406 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 6: State income tax. Absolutely, no estate tax, even though they 407 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 6: raised it exemption to two million here in mass A 408 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 6: lot of people no. 409 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: I hear you. No, Look CJT. Look to me the 410 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: no state income tax. Honestly, just that alone, I mean 411 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: just the state income taxes. They hold you down here 412 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts
