1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Six one seven, two six six sixty eight sixty eight

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, stunning and positively stunning jobs report yesterday,

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: smashing all expectations. In fact, more than doubled expectations. One

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: hundred thirty thousand jobs created in January. But that doesn't

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: even come close to telling the full story. One hundred

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: and seventy two thousand jobs in the private sector were created,

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: and forty two thousand jobs, mostly in the federal government

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: were We're you know, we're lost, meaning they're cutting the fat,

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: they're cutting the waste, fraud and abuse. The economy is

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: getting privatized. It's no longer being driven by Washington for

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: Washington and you know bureaucrats with their cushy positions, cushy jobs.

12
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: This is a private sector driven economy, lean me, very productive,

13
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: low inflation, and if this continues, we are looking now

14
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: at a maybe a banner year six one seven, two

15
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: six six sixty eight sixty eight. So my question to

16
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: all of you, before I go back to Bill and

17
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Raynham the Trump Economy. Trump now says, in the wake

18
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: of this new jobs report, the American Golden Age has

19
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: now arrived. Do you agree and are you feeling it

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: in your own life. Is are your economic circumstances getting better,

21
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: say than a year ago. Are they better, are they worse,

22
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: or are they basically the same. Okay, let's go to

23
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Bill in Raynom. Bill is a senior citizen. He is retired,

24
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: He's on a fixed income like most senior citizens are.

25
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: And he says, look, he's getting killed by high end

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: energy costs. He pump heely is killing him. She's killing me.

27
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: I think she's killing all of us. And he also

28
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: now pays taxes on Social Security. And then we got

29
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: cut off. Bill, Please pick up where you left off.

30
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah I did. My wife did the taxes last night.

31
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: And like I said, I'm historically I'm paying around three

32
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a he had tax on my Social Security

33
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: and it pretty much came out. Now I'm only I'm

34
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: paying twenty one hundred. So I'm not blaming Trump for this.

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: I'm blaming Congress for this, for hacking and chewing up

36
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: what he promised. No tax on Social Security, It's far

37
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: from it, far from it. I'm still paying taxes on

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: Social Security, and believe me, I'm not getting a lot

39
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: from Social Security that in the fuel assistants was cut

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: thirty three percent the past two years, and I'm thinking, well,

41
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: maybe she took some skim it off the top and

42
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: gave it to her legal family. So we get the

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: deck stacked against us living in Massachusetts, and you know,

44
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: other parts of the country may be doing well, but here,

45
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: living in this state under her Marxist rule, we're still

46
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: put it in the warnerstms WI getting hammed here in

47
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: the deck is stacked against us.

48
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Bill, Let me be brutally honest with you, like I'm

49
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: in the confessional, Okay, as I like to say, I

50
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: don't want to humor you. I'm not going to stand

51
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: there and you know, pretend that what's happening is not happening.

52
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Morraheely has put a target, an economic target, on your

53
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: back and on millions of people like you in this state,

54
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: including myself and frankly, most of this audience. The only

55
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: three groups of people that benefit from Morraheely, and this

56
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: is who she's catering to, are the corrupt politicians and

57
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Democrats on Beacon Hill and in her administration. So basically

58
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: political cronies. They're stealing, they're robbing, they're lining their pockets.

59
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: They're swimming and drowning in corruption. It's disgusting, by the way,

60
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: that's why they don't want to state audit. Okay, that's

61
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: number one. Number two if you're on welfare. If you're

62
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: on welfare, then she's your gal. If you're a lazy,

63
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: do nothing bum who wants to sit around all day,

64
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: watch I used to say, Jerry Springer. Mike laughs at me.

65
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: Apparently he's been off the air for whatever. Watch the Olympics. Okay,

66
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 1: and get stoned and do nothing. And you're an able

67
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: bodied person then and you just don't want to work, okay,

68
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: because you're a you know, as my dad used to

69
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: call them, you're a sponge, you're a bum. Then she's great.

70
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, she's wonderful because she takes from the

71
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: productive and gives to the unproductive. She takes from the

72
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: tax makers and gives them to the tax takers. But

73
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: the biggest cleontele are the illegal aliens because they get everything.

74
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: They get home heating assistance. You want to know why

75
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: yours was cut from heat pump because she's got to

76
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: give it all to the illegals. So they get the

77
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: EBT cards, they get the free housing, they get the

78
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: free education, the free healthcare, the prepaid visa cards and

79
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: debit cards. They get free computers, you name it, they

80
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 1: get it. They get drivers' licenses. And really they vote.

81
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear they vote, and they vote in big numbers,

82
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: and they vote so they can keep taking from you

83
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: and taking from me and taking from us to give

84
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: to the illegals, to give to themselves, you know. And yeah,

85
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: you're right, Mike, the no tax deduction thing is in

86
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: fact they huge tax deduction, you know.

87
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: So.

88
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, but the point is just this, Bill Mori

89
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: he Y caters to three constituencies. Corrupt Democrats gave the

90
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: hacks welfare, deadbeats, and the biggest one that's their base,

91
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the illegal aliens. And once people understand that, then you

92
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: understand everything. Her job, her power rests forgive me on

93
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: screwing you and screwing me and screwing us literally coming

94
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: into our pocket, taking money out of our pocket. Six

95
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is

96
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: the number. Okay, this is from our own Sandy. Sandy

97
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: Shack wanted me to relay this to all of you,

98
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: and especially to Bill, who we just got off the

99
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: phone with before the break the no taxes on Social secureurity.

100
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: This is what Sandy told me, is in the form

101
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: of a six thousand dollars tax deduction if you are

102
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: on Social Security. So in other words, you get up

103
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: to six thousand dollars of a deduction on your Social

104
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Security taxes. And so Sandy recommends to Bill that his

105
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: wife should ask a tax professional. So you know, you're right.

106
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: It's not no tax on Social Security because eventually you

107
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: do pay tax on Social Security. But the first six

108
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: k you can deduct, which is nice. It's nice. I mean,

109
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's better than nothing, that's for sure.

110
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Six one seven two sixty six, sixty eight sixty eight

111
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: is the number. Okay. In the wake of the jobs

112
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: report yesterday, which even Trump's most vehement critics admit was

113
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: an incredibly impressive jobs report, and some of the economic

114
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: fundamentals now in terms of low inflation, much higher productivity,

115
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: the private sector booming. I could go on and on.

116
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: Trump now has issued a statement saying that America's golden

117
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: age is finally upon us. In other words, the Trump

118
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: economic boom has begun. My question to you the Kooner

Speaker 1: but got something. So I personally I'm a yes on

141
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: this pole question. But that's me. I want to hear

142
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: from you six one seven two six six sixty eight

143
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: sixty eight. And let me throw this small log on

144
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: the fire. And I'm not criticizing Mike. In fact, it's

145
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: the opposite. I love Mike like a younger brother, I

146
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: really do. I have nothing but affection for Mike. He's

147
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: a great board operator, great employee, great assistant producer. He's

148
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: so reliable. He's money in the bank. And I'm telling you,

149
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: for a man of twenty six years of age in

150
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: this business, that's a rare thing. I'm telling you this

151
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: right now. But I just had an interesting conversation with him,

152
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: both this break and the previous break, and so I

153
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: asked Mike. I said, Mike, you know, hey, how would

154
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: you answer this question? You know, you're better off. You

155
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: don't say from a year ago you're better off, you're

156
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: worse off. The same. He goes, uh, the same. I said, well,

157
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: I go, Mike, what do you mean the same? Like, like,

158
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: aren't prices lower for you? And he said, yeah, when

159
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: I go pump up, sure, when I go tank up

160
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: my car, when I'm at the gas pump, Yeah, yeah,

161
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: gas is down. It used to be way over three

162
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: bucks a gallon under Biden. It's now two sixty five,

163
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: So sure I'm paying less. Yeah, Eggs are lower, yeah,

164
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: a lot of food, yeah, sure, grocery shopping, yeah, things

165
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: are lower. Yeah, overall things are lower. So I said, well,

166
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: if things are lower, how come you don't say, you know,

167
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: things have improved for you since last year? Why is it?

168
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: You know?

169
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: Hold on, Mike, you know, why are you just saying

170
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: no difference? I mean, like money in your pocket that

171
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: you don't like having extra money in your pocket, Mike?

172
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: And he just kind of shrugs his shoulders, and I said, well, no, Mike,

173
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: but why don't you give Trump the credit that he deserves.

174
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're saving money, maybe like to say more money.

175
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: I get that, but you're saving money. Things are cheaper

176
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: for you, you admit it, but you won't give him

177
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: any credit. And his answer to me was, well, that's

178
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: just part for the course. That's how it is with Trump.

179
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: You know, he gets dumped on no matter what, so

180
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: I might as well dump on him as well. So

181
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: I never said that. What do you mean you never

182
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: said that, Mike? You're backtracking now from your statement. Mike. Yeah,

183
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: this is a complete, a completely fars in the gas prices,

184
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: all right, so, but all right, but Mike, your gas

185
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: prices are they lower?

186
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 5: Yes? Or no?

187
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: Yes? Okay? So why yes? So why won't you give why?

188
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: You know, when I say is your life better or

189
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: worse economically, your answer is the same. Does that compute? Mike?

190
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: Hold on, Now you're saying you were wrong, you were

191
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: wrong to not give it that kind of thing. You're

192
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: not on the air right now. No, I know you're

193
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: not on the air right now, Mike. I'm just no,

194
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I just don't understand why you won't give

195
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Trump the credit that he deserves.

196
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: Mike.

197
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: To me, then if I'm paying less for gas and

198
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: everything else is cheaper. So now you're saying he does

199
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: deserve credit. And hold on, Mike, are you saying so?

200
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: You're saying it is better for you? Now, Mike, Mike, Mike,

201
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: I've lost Mike.

202
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 5: It's like what.

203
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: All right?

204
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: It's like talking to Bill and Sudbury, you know what

205
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like hello, Hello, after a while, Hello, Hello,

206
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: all right? Anyway, you see this is the problem with Trump.

207
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: It's I'm not criticizing Mike, I'm not picking on I'm

208
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: like he acknowledges things are better, things have gotten cheaper.

209
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Do I have more money in my pocket?

210
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 5: Yes?

211
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: Okay, so would you say things are better for you?

212
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: No?

213
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: The same? But how are they the same? You know,

214
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: you could say they're a little better. I wish they

215
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: were better, like more better. Okay, but you see more

216
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: money in his pocket. Things are cheaper from gas to

217
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: groceries and other things. But it's still the same. That's

218
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: what I don't get because that's what the polls are reflecting.

219
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: And it's that disconnect.

220
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: Is it?

221
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Because we had such high expectations, and so when we

222
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: see things getting slowly better, we're like, nah, expected more?

223
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 5: Is that what it is?

224
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: Anyway? I want to hear from you. Justin in New Hampshire,

225
00:14:51,520 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: thanks for holding Justin and welcome Hello Justin. All right,

226
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: I think we lost. We lost Justin uh, David in Ashland, No,

227
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: David Redding, Okay, Dave in Reading, thanks for holding Dave

228
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: and welcome.

229
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Jeff.

230
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for sticking my girl, my pleasure, Dave.

231
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm definitely doing better this year.

232
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 6: I mean I made more money, I got a raise,

233
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 6: but I wanted.

234
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: To mention.

235
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: Like no tax on overtime. No, I don't know about

236
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 5: the tips, but I know on overtime it's like the

237
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: Social Security it's a deduction. And I believe my brother's

238
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: the CPA does all this trap but it it tops

239
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 5: out at twelve thousand, five hundred, which is great. Don't

240
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: get me wrong. That's gonna give me more money, save

241
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 5: me money. But I made like thirty eight thousand in overtime,

242
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 5: so it could be better. But again, all these negative

243
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 5: people and all these people say, well, you know they

244
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 5: don't want to vote because of this. It's like, so

245
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: you're gonna hand it back to the people to cause

246
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 5: the destruction. I mean, saving a twelve five deduction, it's

247
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: better than no deduction. You know, it hits to me,

248
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: it's I don't understand. I mean, they want like perfection

249
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 5: and miracles. When what was that thing? That's that expression?

250
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: You know?

251
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Don't let that don't yeah, don't let the perfect. Yeah,

252
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

253
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 3: Dave.

254
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Look, I'm with you, man, I mean to me, you know, sure,

255
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to have no taxes on overtime period. You know,

256
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand and fifty thousand. No

257
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: matter how much you make, it's your money, you should

258
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: keep it six one seven two six six sixty eight

259
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: sixty eight. Okay, yeah, we got Justin in New Hampshire back,

260
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go to him just very quick. Mike

261
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: now says grudgingly, yes, he will give Trump credit for

262
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: having extra money in his pocket. So there you go.

263
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: So Mike, finally, after prodding and prodding and prodding, he says, yes,

264
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: things are better than a year ago. He wish they

265
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: were even better, but you know, he wants him to

266
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: be even more better. But he's happy saying yeah, it

267
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: is better now. Sandy made an absolutely super point. If

268
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: you start this is why people are so excited about

269
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: this jobs report. I talked about the loss in federal jobs.

270
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: That's what's remarkable is that there's one hundred and seventy

271
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: two thousand private sector jobs, but they actually lost forty

272
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: two thousand federal jobs, well government jobs, to be more accurate,

273
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: thirty four thousand federal, eight thousand state and local. So

274
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: that's why the numbers at one hundred and thirty. But

275
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: this is the figure that everybody is really impressed by.

276
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: The federal workforce now is at its lowest rate. Listen

277
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: now to this since Lyndon Johnson was president. The last

278
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: time the public sector had been shrunk to this extent,

279
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: to this level, was in nineteen sixty six. That's when

280
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: LBJ was President of the United States. That's doge, that's

281
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: all of the cuts in the waste, fraud and abuse,

282
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: that's all the layoffs of these you know, fat cat

283
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: federal bureaucrats. So you've got a public sector that was bloated, fat, corrupt, lazy,

284
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: that is now being trimmed, it's now being contracted, it's shrinking,

285
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: it's reducing, while the private sector is poised for a

286
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: massive takeoff with trillions of dollars in investment pouring in.

287
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: And you've got reshoring taking place and massive more deregulation coming,

288
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: which means the economy now can grow by trillions of

289
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: dollars even more so, all the elements now, which as

290
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: I said, we just need fed chair Powell out and

291
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: we've got the whole the whole table is now set

292
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: for an economic renaissance the likes we have not seen

293
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: in a long time six one seven two, six, six,

294
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: sixty eight, sixty eight. In other words, the plan is

295
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: coming together. Justin in New Hampshire, we reconnected with you.

296
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: Go ahead, justin and welcome And.

297
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 7: Jeff, can you hear me?

298
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: I can hear you.

299
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 4: Can you hear me loud and clear? Sir?

300
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 7: So I'll be quick three part answers. So with this

301
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 7: no tax on overtime, it's up to twenty five thousand dollars,

302
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 7: you can be ducked up to not only that, but

303
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 7: with all with other deductions. Before you used to be

304
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 7: able to be head of household or interest rate on

305
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 7: your mortgage, depending on which one was hired. You can

306
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 7: do both now you okay, At least I can claim

307
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 7: my vehicle registration through my taxes. Also, so people need

308
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 7: to get a professional and stop trying to navigate this

309
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 7: on their own. Now that also being said, with this,

310
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 7: my tax return is astronomical. I'm starting my own business

311
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 7: with my tax return on top of buy my wife

312
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 7: a new car. It's insane. Wow, yeah, it's it's but

313
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 7: I poise myself to get there.

314
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: You deserve it. No, please don't miss I'm just saying, wow,

315
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: you bought your wife a new car, as did Jews

316
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: say maseltof congratulations, well done man. So I take it.

317
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: Life has gotten you know, the economy for you is

318
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: it's getting pretty good, correct, But.

319
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 7: It feels like I'm reaching to try to slow myself down.

320
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 7: I don't know, it's it's just a trajectory I've never

321
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 7: been on before. Now that being said, these returns are

322
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 7: like when you pour gasoline into a bucket. It doesn't

323
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 7: when you throw a match in there. It's not just

324
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 7: a slow burn. It's an explosion. And once Powell is

325
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 7: out of there, that'll be the match dropped into the

326
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 7: bucket to explode the on him. It's you know, it

327
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 7: takes a year to build a house. It takes forty

328
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 7: five minutes to burn it down and bite and burns

329
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 7: everything down. You know, Trump's rebuilding it and people just

330
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 7: need to navigate it properly and have oftimism. And on

331
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 7: another thing, Dane, you're an inspiration to us all. Keep

332
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 7: your shoulder down, keep pushing forward.

333
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: Man well a man aymen, justin honestly, you're an inspiration.

334
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I a couple of years ago

335
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: I got my wife a car was it was what

336
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: do you call it? Pre owned as they used to

337
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: they call it now used to be called a used car. So,

338
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: my friend, you're doing very well, and congratulations, keep going

339
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: justin uh, six months, said God bless you six one

340
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: seven two six six, sixty eight sixty eight. Look, I would, honestly,

341
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to, you know, pat myself on the shoulder.

342
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest. For it was at least six months,

343
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: the last six months of last year. What I kept saying,

344
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: please be patient, Please be patient. Rome wasn't built in

345
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: a day. It's very easy to destroy something, it's very

346
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: hard to build something. Biden destroyed our economy as justin

347
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: put it, you know, like a house. He just burned

348
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: it down, he torched it. To build a house takes time,

349
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: especially if you want a good house with a really

350
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: solid foundation that's going to last you generations. And that's

351
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: what Trump kept saying over and over again. I'm not

352
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: here just for the short term. I'm not just gonna

353
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: prime the pump and goose the economy for you know,

354
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: a year or two. No, I want this to be generational.

355
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: That's why we're gonna put in these tariffs. We're going

356
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: to stop the unfair trade. The country's ripping us off.

357
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna start reshoring all this wealth, all of this investment,

358
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: all of this manufacturing. This is going to take time.

359
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Deals can't happen overnight. I got to negotiate with India, China,

360
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: the European Union, Canada, countries all over the world. You

361
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: know this is not done in two hours. So I've

362
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: got to do that. I've got to get the right

363
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: regulations or the right deregulations. I've got to get the

364
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: one big, beautiful bill. We've got to start to see

365
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: these deportations kick in. But you're going to start realizing

366
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: the more illegals are out, housing goes down, rent goes down,

367
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: Cheap labor is now chased out of the country, so

368
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: wages begin to go up. It takes time. It takes time.

369
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: It takes time, but now you're starting to see the results.

370
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: Nick in Weymouth. Thanks for holding Nick, and welcome.

371
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 4: Relative, and it's all temporary. Live in Weymouth. You can

372
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 4: find three dollars gas easy and if I remember correctly,

373
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 4: you get premium. Well you'd be paying four bucks up

374
00:23:54,760 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: around here. Really oil I've spent We've spent seventeen hundred

375
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 4: dollars on oil since September. We're probably due for another

376
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars hitting about two weeks. Got one two

377
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: weeks ago. For that same kind of money. Probably we'll

378
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: top that off. It's a good precaution to do that

379
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 4: over the summertime you have it mostly philled. So I'm

380
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: figuring another eight hundred bucks with five hundred more than

381
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: another three hundred to get the electrical bills. I don't

382
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: see any proposition there. And what happened at Drill Baby

383
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: Drill anyways? Social Security, yes, I forget what the fellow

384
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 4: told you about two or three dollars ago, how much

385
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 4: what the percentage was of Social Security being taxed? I

386
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: know what ours is, twenty one point one percent. Under

387
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 4: that piece of garbage Biden, we went from three thousand

388
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 4: dollars deductions thirty two hundred and thirty four.

389
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: Hundred right down to last year we got six hundred

390
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: and something odd dollars cost five hundred and twenty five

391
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 3: dollars to do the taxes with the EPA. Okay, so

392
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 3: last year twenty seven twenty seven to nine went from

393
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 3: to be taxes social Security. So that's like twenty seven

394
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: hits of one hundred bucks apiece on the tax stable.

395
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: By the way, but every thousand bucks, and with most

396
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: tax rate people are like saying over six sixty eight

397
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: sixty year agent and above. For every thousand dollars of income,

398
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: they're going to hit you with ten percent of that

399
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: one hundred bucks. Okay, So there's no future in that

400
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: in the temper. But I will admit what Sandy said

401
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: is correct. Zach's higher. For example, for married couple filing jointly,

402
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: you could be looking at it, think it's forty four thousand,

403
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 3: seven hundred and something our dolls as a total standard deduction.

404
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: There's several factors there by the way to get that

405
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: single head of household the same thing. So that is fantastic.

406
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 3: How long will that last?

407
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to win the House because

408
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 4: just look at the votes in the Congress right now,

409
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 4: right on on on the on the Save America Bill

410
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 4: and this, and is uh the two Republicans didn't didn't

411
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 4: voted against it, and then the Senate hasn't even picked

412
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: it up yet. And when they do, you get Rakowski, Grassley,

413
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 4: Susan Collins. They're gonna sabotaze it. So what I'm saying

414
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: is God bless Trump. I have never voted for a Democrat.

415
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 4: I never will, Okay, And my infatuated Republicans know I

416
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: was infatuated with Donald Trump. Will we see someone like

417
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 4: him ever again? Certainly not in my lifetime. No one

418
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: has the courage to do what he did. I credit

419
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: him all that. The problem is the forces against him,

420
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: like the heays, the Woo's the guy in New York City,

421
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 4: and and the bombs, the bombas who sit there and

422
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 4: Congress in the Senate. Foone's no good, Johnson's no good. Right,

423
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 4: they accomplished that thing. They could kill less. When Trump

424
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: goes away, business will be as usual. Unfortunately.

425
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: Well, Nick, look the sad thing is, and you kind

426
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: of put your finger on it. The problem is, you

427
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: know you mentioned Healey, you're right, Woo, you're right, Momdannie

428
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: up in New York, you're right. And then you started

429
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: talking about Congress and it's a cesspool. And let me

430
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: just give you an example. And this is why they

431
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: don't care because they're so disconnected. You know, you mentioned

432
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: how you're you know, you're trying to save every penny.

433
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: You're on a fixed income, like many listeners of this show,

434
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: you need all the help that you can get. So

435
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: they don't, you know, they don't live paycheck to paycheck

436
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 1: like most Americans do. They don't tighten their belt. They

437
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: don't go to the grocery store and cut coupons and

438
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: try to save money. And and you know, you know,

439
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: a skimp as much as they can and save as

440
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: much money as they can. And no, because here, take

441
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: Diana Presley. I said this on X last night. Please now,

442
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: just she's just one. I'm only mentioning her because she's

443
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: a prominent member of the squad and she said them,

444
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: and she's a real power here in Massachusetts. So here

445
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: you have this radical left wing democrat who all she

446
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: does is push for open borders, protecting illegal aliens, and

447
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: demanding higher and higher crime. All this woman does is

448
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: protect criminals. That's all this woman does. Okay, she enters Congress.

449
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: She has a negative net worth. I'm not sing. She

450
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: has to have a dollar to her name. She owes

451
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: the banks. Do you understand negative net worth? So she's basically,

452
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, she owes money. She married a man who

453
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: spent ten years. He's an ex con. He spent not one,

454
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: not two, not even five, ten years in prison for

455
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: drug trafficking. He was a drug trafficker. She's now worth

456
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: over eight million dollars. How did she get her money?

457
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: Because the ex con husband, the former drug trafficker who

458
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: spent ten years in the can hey in the clink,

459
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: as they say, he's now a quote unquote I swear

460
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: look this up because you won't believe me. Look it up.

461
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: He's a quote unquote consultant. The ex con husband is

462
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: now a consultant in Washington, DC who's making over a

463
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. I mean, what is he consulting

464
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: how to traffic cocaine from Mexico into the United States. Seriously,

465
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: what's the what's the consulting on to the Mexican drug

466
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: cartels how to ship fentanyl and then get it up

467
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: into Massachusetts, and how do you start getting it up

468
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: there into northern mass and into southern New Hampshire, and

469
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: how you work with the Dominican gangs and the Haitian

470
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: gangs and the trend der Auagua to distribute the product

471
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: on the streets and maximize what you you take and

472
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: put in your pocket. So it's obvious the campaign money

473
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: that Diana Presley is getting, she's now giving a cut

474
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: to her husband as a quote unquote consultant. They're basically

475
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: stealing donations and lining their own pockets. Now, Diana Pressley

476
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: wants Trump out as soon as possible. She doesn't want

477
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: the swamp to be drained. She's part of the swamp.

478
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: So you come into Congress, you owe money, you have

479
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: negative net worth, and by the time you're what eight

480
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: years in, you're a multi multi, multi, multi millionaire. That's

481
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: the problem with our system. So they don't lift check

482
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: to check. They don't care if gas is three bucks

483
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: a gallon two sixty five, three point fifty, what do

484
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: they care? Plus they expense it anyway. They don't care

485
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: out the cost of groceries. They go to cocktail parties,

486
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: they drive limos and they steal, steal, steal. And by

487
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: the way, where is the corrupt Boston media, where is

488
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: the corrupt Massachusetts media. She should be a household name

489
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: like Elon. Some people did something omar, that's what she

490
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: should be. Instead, they're covering up for her. So there

491
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: you go, Nick, that's the problem. In a nutshell, that's

492
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: the problem. The thick get thicker, and we the peasants.

493
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: They squeeze us and squeeze us and squeeze us. Chris

494
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: in Braintree, Thanks for holding Chris, and welcome.

495
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 7: One. Jeff.

496
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 6: You're going to roll. I love Uh, you get me

497
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 6: all fired up. I got goosebumps when you just called

498
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 6: my name. I wanted to touch on a couple of things.

499
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 6: You know, all the all the pundits and economic experts

500
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 6: were all going on and on and on about about

501
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 6: the tariffs, Trump, the tank economy Trump. Well he didn't,

502
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 6: you know. They they fear longer to their you know,

503
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 6: to the to the match that they can every time

504
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 6: they talk about him, to try to turn people and

505
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 6: brainwash them. And you know, all these all these purple

506
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 6: hair liberals line line up, uh to hear it and

507
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 6: just wait for their marching orders. What do you what

508
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 6: are we protesting tomorrow?

509
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: You know?

510
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 6: But the real, the real reason I wanted to call

511
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 6: a couple of people have touched on the no tax

512
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: on overtime.

513
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: I don't.

514
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 6: I don't know if any of the people. One guy

515
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 6: sounds like he might have known. I'm guessing that you

516
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 6: probably don't. But just so we're talking about the same thing.

517
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 6: What what do you define as overtime? You know, say

518
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 6: you work a forty hour, you're an hourly employee, forty

519
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 6: hour a week, what's considered overtime?

520
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: This is a question for you, I think it's over

521
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: forty hours. In other words, you work eight hours a day,

522
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: and then anything above eight hours is overtime.

523
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 6: The trick question. I just want to make sure that

524
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 6: we're talking about the same thing.

525
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Yes, so I agree with you, Chris.

526
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 6: I'm in a labor union and I don't vote Democrat.

527
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 6: Most of the guys where I work don't. But so

528
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 6: I'm an hourly guy. I work anywhere. You know, some

529
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 6: weeks five or six hours overtime. Sometimes you know, sometimes

530
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 6: I could work twenty or thirty. It really depends. It's

531
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 6: the emergency driven business. That's about all I want to

532
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 6: say about it. But the no tax on overtime is

533
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 6: not on all of your overtime. It's no tax on

534
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 6: the half portion of the time and a half rate.

535
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 6: So in other words, if I work ten hours overtime,

536
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 6: I'm just going to use round numbers. If I make

537
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 6: fifty dollars an hour and my overtime rate seventy five

538
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 6: dollars an hour, the no tax on overtime is only

539
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 6: on the twenty five dollars. It's not it's not the

540
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 6: fun and I and I feel like I got I

541
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 6: got bait and switched a little bit. I mean, I'm still,

542
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 6: I'm still maga, I'm still you know, Trump, Trump is

543
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 6: my guy. I'm just a little I feel like I

544
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 6: got bait and switched a little bit. And I'm sure,

545
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 6: I'm sure that the no tax on overtime got watered

546
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 6: down a little bit once they got into the hands

547
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 6: of the House and the Senate.

548
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: Well you nailed there, Chris. Sorry, I give you, I

549
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: promise I won't cut you off. I will give you

550
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: all the time you want. But that's you read my mind. Trump. Look,

551
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: let's say you make fifty bucks an hour, okay, just

552
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: for the sake of argument, and now your overtime is

553
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: an extra twenty five bucks an hour. Okay, So you're

554
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: working forty hours, you get your fifty hours. You know,

555
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: it's fifty dollars an hour. Now it's forty one hours,

556
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: forty two, forty three, forty four, forty five. Now you're

557
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: making you know, from forty one above, you're making seventy

558
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: five dollars an hour. Trump wanted the full seventy five

559
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: dollars tax free. In other words, you just pay taxes

560
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: on your first forty hours. After that, you know, Chris

561
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: and Braintree's making seventy five bucks an hour for overtime.

562
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: Let's say he works ten hours, that's seven hundred and

563
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: fifty dollars extra. He should keep the seven hundred and

564
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: fifty dollars and the story or whatever. You give a

565
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: little to social Security or but in terms of income tax, nothing,

566
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: it's his. It was the House and the Senate. Forgive me,

567
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: those bastards that got in there and said, oh no, no, no,

568
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: Chris is making fifty bucks an hour. He's got to

569
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: still pay on the fifty. So when when we're talking

570
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: no tax on overtime, that's just the twenty five dollars

571
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: extra he gets for overtime. Okay, that will give him.

572
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: So now you know Trump, I mean you remember the

573
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. It went on and on month after month.

574
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: Thune sat on it, Johnson sat on it. Were they

575
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: going to pass it?

576
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 5: Not pass it?

577
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: Pressure was building. He had to pass something. And that's

578
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: what they do. They whittle you down and whittle you

579
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: down and nickel you and din they nickel and dime you.

580
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: And they forced him to dilute and compromise. And but

581
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: to be fair, Trump wanted the whole Enchilada he wanted

582
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: that seventy five bucks that you're making to be completely

583
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: tax free. Please, Chris, pick up, you know, pick up

584
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: where you left off.

585
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 6: Yep, absolutely I will. I will credit Trump with that

586
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 6: one hundred percent. That's why I'm saying I'm still naggat.

587
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 6: He's still my guy. I know, I know what his

588
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 6: intent was, but where it where it got you know, ruined.

589
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 6: It's still it's still good. But you know, I had

590
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 6: I had years. I don't work like this anymore. I

591
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 6: had years where I would work, literally, I know most

592
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 6: people that work normal nine to five jobs. I don't

593
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 6: have any concept of what people that actually work for

594
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 6: a living do. But I had years that I would

595
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 6: work between one thousand and thirteen hundred hours of just

596
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 6: overtime on top of my you know, two thousand hours

597
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 6: of regular I worked my ass off to give my

598
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 6: family the best life that I could. Neither of my kids,

599
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 6: well one of my kids doesn't know any any student luwss.

600
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 6: But like I was, I wasn't borrowing money. I was

601
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 6: paying out of pocket. I was paying you know, ten

602
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 6: to twelve thousand dollars every quarter out of pocket of

603
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 6: money that I worked my ass off for you know,

604
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 6: when I heard the no texent over time, I was

605
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 6: excited as hell because I've been saying for years I

606
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 6: pay what I think is far more than my fair

607
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 6: share of taxes just on my first forty hours. I do.

608
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 6: I frankly I do. I don't. I'm not a drain

609
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 6: I'm not a drain on governmental Oh no.

610
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,960
