Speaker 2: especially the special that you did for the DAV. The

00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: DAV is a fantastic organization. I know when I needed help,

Speaker 2: I went to the da V. So let's start with

Speaker 1: Thank you CJ, and again thank you for your service.

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,919
Speaker 1: H please keep going.

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: PPE you know I think his criticism criticism criticism of Trump.

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: You know, Trump should just give him a response to

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: quote Ronald Reagan. You know, mister Pope, kid on that wall,

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: kid on that thirty foot wall, that I'll isolate you

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: from the rest of Italy. Uh. You know, the the

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: Catholic charities as well as other Christian organizations have made

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: a ton of money off illegal aliens. And and that's

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: all it's that's all that's ever about his money. It's

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: all that's ever about his money. You know, it's Verdie

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: saying this was screaming the other day, how how there's

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: Obamacare and cost in insurance. They were so concerned about

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: his constituents going up that thing. He gave us twenty

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars. But what they feel, to mention to

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: the Democratic counterparts, is that the illegals are getting all

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: this for free, and that they're paying for it. They're

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: smart enough to realize that they're paying for that. Not

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: only that, Jef, you fail to mention the cell phones

40
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: that are free. How about the interpreters in the courthouses

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: throughout the car Mo Wealth of Massachusetts. For every language

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: you need a different interpreter. What do you think is

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: paying for that? That is why. I think one of

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: the one of the concerns that the administration Trump administration

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: has to address as people coming into this country who

46
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: do not speak English. If you do not speak English,

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: you can't come into this country, get a green cod,

48
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: go to work, or ever even think of becoming a citizen.

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: That should be that should be a disqualifier right off

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: the bat. The second thing that he should do is

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: every federal publication that has put out should be put

52
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: out in English only, in English only. What's happening now

53
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: is the watering down on major cities in a country

54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: to cowtail to people who do not even think about

55
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: assimilating and becoming United States citizens and appreciating what we

56
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: have in this country. They hate this country, Jeff. But

57
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: there are patriots. There are more than seventy seven million

58
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: patriots who voted for Donald J. Trump last year. That's

59
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: because they realize that he was the only hope that

60
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: this country had for survival, which to elect him president

61
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: of the United States. And look what he's done. They

62
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: scream on tariffs two hundred We're expected to take in

63
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: two hundred billions that would a bee this year in tariffs,

64
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: of which the president is thinking about giving two thousand

65
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: dollars to every working household in this country. But he

66
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: is getting he's getting flack, he's getting pushed back from

67
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: from from these liberal district court judges and federal judges.

68
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: And I believe that there was an announcement made that

69
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: they're going to try to impeach these judges. And that

70
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: is a good thing because I think once they were

71
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: impeached them the judges have brought against them for impeding

72
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: federal law, then I think they can be pulled off

73
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: the bench until their case is are resolved. So just

74
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: let me say, Jiff, you know, on this Veterans Day,

75
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 2: I'd like to wish all my fellow veterans the best.

76
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: You know, we try to get together on Veterans Day.

77
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: I belong to a number of organizations. One very special

78
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: one is the ITM American Legion, which is in East Boston.

79
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: They have a museum in there, a war mus It's

80
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: a beautiful place. It's at sixty Paris Street. They have

81
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: ceremonies today, be the beginning at eleven. All veterans and

82
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: non veterans are welcome. And again, Jeff, the veterans of

83
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: this country cannot thank you enough for your voice.

84
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh it's thank you, No, thank you CJ again, thank

85
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: you for your service. And it's the least that I

86
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: can do, really, truly, the least I can do. It's

87
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: truly my pleasure.

88
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: CJ.

89
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: Thank you very very much for that call. No, look, CJ,

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: you're right. They're trying to block Trump at every turn.

91
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: It's just incredible. And you know, you know the Wall

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: Street Journal. I don't want to get two sidetracked on

93
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: the tariffs. We can talk about it another time. But

94
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: they're pooh poohing this idea that Trump wants to give

95
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: every American household, middle working class home a two thousand

96
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: dollars check from the tariffs. And they're like, well, how

97
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: what's two thousand dollars? Well, yeah, sure, if you're a multimillionaire,

98
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: two thousand bucks is nothing. It's dipping money. But for

99
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of middle working class families, look, let me

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: ask all of you, you know, as I like to say,

101
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: treat me like an illegal. So they can get four

102
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month, every month cash, but you can't

103
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: give us a one time two thousand dollars check from

104
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: the tariffs. Like that's what that's too much? Now, you know,

105
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying two thousand dollars and oh my god,

106
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: it solves all my problems. But I would like it to.

107
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you like a two thousand dollars check?

108
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: I know?

109
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: Or I would use the two thousand dollars. I could

110
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: use a little bit of relief. Could you use a

111
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: little bit of relief? So they're going on about you know,

112
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: oh this is a drop in the bucket. Oh, this

113
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: won't do anything with you know, higher prices and no,

114
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 1: but it'll help. And what's wrong with a little help?

115
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Why is it that, for once, instead of giving the

116
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: money to welfare, deadbeats or illegal aliens or criminals, we

117
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: actually give some money back to the people who work

118
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: hard and pay taxes. I mean, what, we can't get it.

119
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: Everybody else can get a four thousand dollars every illegal

120
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: can get a four thousand dollar check, but we can't

121
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: get a two one time two thousand dollars check. No,

122
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: send us the money. Honestly, I think we deserve it.

123
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Cooner, Boston's bulldozer.

124
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: Again.

125
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you what an honor and

126
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: a privilege it is to be behind this microphone, on

127
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: this wonderful veterans day, and again to all of our wonderful,

128
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: incredible vets out there, thank you for your service, your patriotism,

129
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: your sacrifice. The country cannot repay you enough. And speaking

130
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: of sacrifices, we make sacrifices all the time, not to

131
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: the level of the vets obviously, but hardworking, tax paying

132
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: American citizens every day, you know, every week, every month,

133
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: every year. And President Trump and I don't want to

134
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: linger on this, I want to go back to the

135
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: phone lines. But he's now talking about a tariff rebate,

136
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: or at one time, tariff rebate check two thousand dollars

137
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: to every middle working class family. And the left is

138
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: going berserk. The establishment Republicans are I mean, they're just

139
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: lashing them. They're i mean, viscerating Trump. And of course

140
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: you've got Fox bit. Fox News is poo pooing it.

141
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal is poo pooing it. The financial

142
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: papers are pooh pooing it. You know, Oh, this won't

143
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: really address the cost of living issue. No, but it's

144
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: a nice two thousand dollars check, and it'll help with

145
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: the groceries, it'll help with rent, it'll help with heating bills,

146
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: or electricity bills or whatever, or clothing if you have children,

147
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Why can't we get a check

148
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: once in a while, you know, I mean it's frankly,

149
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: it's our money anyway, so why can't we get a

150
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: little bit of it back? And I just want to

151
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: read this message I got from Eric on messenger because

152
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I think he makes a stupendous point. Jeff, if Trump

153
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: was giving two thousand dollars to every illegal immigrant, Democrats

154
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't say a damn word. Hypocrisy at its best, Bingo, Eric, Bingo.

155
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, if Trump came out and said, you know what, no,

156
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars a month for those of you in Massachusetts,

157
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: all you illegals, it's not enough. I'm going to give

158
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: you a one time extra two thousand dollars, I don't know,

159
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: bonus check, because you know your diversity. It just helps

160
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: our country so much. Really, diversities are great strength, according

161
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: to the Moonbats. So I'm going to give you for

162
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: your diversity, here's an extra two thousand dollars. You think

163
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: they'd be complaining'd Oh.

164
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually agree

165
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: with Trump. There's a humanity to him I've never seen before.

166
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: The left would be like, oh my god, I can't

167
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: believe this. Whoa, it's just a new Trump that's emerging.

168
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: But if it's two thousand dollars, you know, for the peasants,

169
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: for you and me, for the so called deplorables, all

170
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's wasteful. Oh my god, it won't

171
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: solve a thing.

172
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: It's counterproductive, it's a waste of money. Suddenly they're all

173
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: deficit hawks when a little bit of our own money

174
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: comes back to us. No, if you're listening, mister President,

175
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: send Jeff Coooner a two thousand dollars TIRA freebate check

176
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: and I'll say a big thank you. Send it to

177
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: everybody in Cooner country. Send it to every middle working

178
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: class home in America. Believe me, we could use every

179
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: little bit, and it'd be nice that somebody sends us

180
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: a check once in a while. I'm just saying, I mean,

181
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: we are the backbone of this nation. I don't know,

182
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: throw us a bone once in a while. David in

183
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Ashland agreed. Disagree. David in Ashland, Thanks for holding David

184
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: and welcome.

185
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Jeff. I have three points three points. I'm a

186
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: disabled the Vietnam era VET, and in twenty twenty four

187
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: I went to open a claim and I was told

188
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: by the Veteran Service officer that the criteria has changed,

189
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: that the VA has made it stricter, and part of

190
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: that was because money had been transferred out of the

191
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 2: VA to the migrants, which kind of picked me off.

192
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 2: I looked at the criteria because I'm a registered nurse.

193
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: The criteria for blood pressure that was like blood pressure

194
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: had to be like one eighty or two hundred systolic

195
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: in order to get like a I think it was

196
00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: like forty percent disability. The other thing is my other

197
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: point is why does the governor appoint the secretary general

198
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: and the deputy secretary in Massachusetts. I don't understand why

199
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: the president wouldn't do that, or the federal government. And

200
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: then my third point, I hate to burst your bubble.

201
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: I agree with CJ regarding phones and interpreters, but I

202
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 2: can tell you I know so many illegals that work

203
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: under the table. I know someone that got picked up

204
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: and by ice taken to New York and a significant

205
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: other was going to his the contractor that he was

206
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: working for to collect a thirty two thousand dollars. Check.

207
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: I know someone that worked for Lyft that was in

208
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: Boston last weekend just for the night, made three thousand dollars.

209
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: They're all illegals. They're working under the table, So one

210
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: eighty six is low balling what a lot of these

211
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: individuals are making.

212
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Incredible well, David, I mean that's a very good point.

213
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the things here. I just

214
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: had my grocery store. I mean it's you know, at

215
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: my local grocery store. You see them in these brand

216
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: new pickup trucks. Sty' all illegals, brand new pickup trucks, Jeeps, SUVs.

217
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: These are fifty sixty seventy thousand dollars vehicles, and I

218
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: see them loading up their carts. Usually it's two carts,

219
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: and it's either they pay with food stamps or EBT.

220
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: And it's because they're all working under the table. You know,

221
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: many in construction, but whatever. They're working in restaurants or

222
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: in landscaping or whatever, so they collect all these welfare benefits.

223
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: And on top of that, they're working under the table

224
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: and they're making good money and it's all tax free.

225
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: So you're completely right, David, and look that story that

226
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: you said about the VA. This is what I mean

227
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: when I say these migrants are robbing us blind. You know,

228
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: you served in Vietnam, You're a disabled veteran owed that money,

229
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: You're entitled to that money. You deserve that help. So

230
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: what you know, now they're going to raise blood pressure

231
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: to what two hundred and two twenty? Like what do

232
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: they want your head to explode?

233
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: Like?

234
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: Really, no, my blood pressure is so high my head

235
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: is about to literally just blow. Is that okay? Now?

236
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: Will you actually help me out? You know, David, I'm

237
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: not trying to pour gasoline on the fire. I'm just

238
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: trying to highlight what, to me is such a I mean,

239
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: it's disgraceful. I'm sorry, it's evil, it's wrong. How is

240
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: it that an illegal alien his family or her family

241
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: can be getting minimum one hundred and eighty six thousand

242
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: dollars a year and have their entire healthcare coverage paid for,

243
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: and a guy like you who served our country in

244
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: Vietnam and is disabled, you can't even get basic blood pressure,

245
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, help with your blood pressure. It's just so wrong.

246
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: In other words, literally, if you went to uh, you know,

247
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: if you went to Mora Healy and said, you know,

248
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: to the Massachusetts government, Hi, I'm David. I come from Vietnam.

249
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: I didn't fight in Vietnam. I come from Vietnam, and

250
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: i'm illegally here from Vietnam. They would treat you a

251
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: thousand times better than David from Ashland who fought for

252
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: our country in Vietnam. The world is upside down. We're

253
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: living in the twilight zone and it's unacceptable. It's just

254
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's just somethings in life are unacceptable. This

255
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: is it, David. Final word to you.

256
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: Well, at this point, I am in a post traumatic

257
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: stress program and again I'm filing. You know, I filed

258
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: the claim. But it's also you know, you got to

259
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, I'm a nurse, so I know

260
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: the criteria. I mean, I know called lingo because I

261
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: had to take care of patients and I was a

262
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: case manager and I dealt with the food stamps and

263
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: everything else, and you know, the seniors did not. The

264
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: seniors are being left out. And what happens is that

265
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: the you know, the deep state is basically just saying, well,

266
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: it's you know, you're hurting, you know, you're hurting the elderly. Well, yeah,

267
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: you've been hurting them right along, you know, and your dollar.

268
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: It is is what they want to give the money

269
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: to the migrants, and you know that's I just hate

270
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: it because it's wrong.

271
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: It's so wrong, and it's a betrayal. It's a betrayal

272
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: of you. It's a betrayal of our veterans. It's a

273
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: betrayal of our senior citizens. It's a betrayal of the taxpayers.

274
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: It's a betrayal of all Americans. And that's why you

275
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: feel that punch in the gut, because that's how we

276
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: all feel. David. I want to thank you again for

277
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: your service, your bravery, your patriotism. And look, we got

278
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: to take our state back. We're going to have to

279
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: take it back, and I'm going to do everything in

280
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: my power to do that. So under a new administration

281
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: which is going to be pro veteran, pro military, pro taxpayer,

282
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: pro American, Happy Veterans Day to all of our incredible

Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Caroline and welcome.

288
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 4: Hi. Thank you for taking my call, Jeff my pleasure, Caroline. Yeah,

289
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: I love your show. It's it's amazing today.

290
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: Thank you.

291
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 4: I just want you welcome. My dad was a World

292
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 4: War Two veteran, and when I heard you speaking this

293
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: morning about that World War two veteran in England and

294
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 4: how he felt, really brought me back to how my dad.

295
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: He died in nineteen eighty seven. But I really feel

296
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 4: that in his eyes I could see a person that

297
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 4: also wondered why did he go through what he went through.

298
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 4: He first, he was born in nineteen twenty three, so

299
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 4: he went through the Depression as well. And he lived

300
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 4: in Cambridge, mass right near Mount Avern Cemetery, and that

301
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: was the slums back then and now it's multi million

302
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 4: dollar homes. I actually went back to the old house

303
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 4: so I used to live. I saw the outside and

304
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 4: it's amazing. But at any rate, then World War one

305
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: two came along and he went in the Navy and

306
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: they shipped him off to Tarawa and he was there

307
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 4: the second day. It was a three day battle. And

308
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: I mean he had it pretty bad. I think I

309
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 4: I didn't know. He never talked about it till after

310
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: he died. I was only nineteen when he died, and

311
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 4: he was a radio man. So he was in a

312
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 4: fox hole on the island for two days. Uh. And

313
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 4: then he had burial duty and it was just terrific.

314
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: He had to bury parts of people. By the grace

315
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: of God, they are bringing people back now and burying

316
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 4: them in Arlington Cemetery and giving them their you know,

317
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 4: righteous burial. But anyways, then he had severe PTSD and

318
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: he went back to Hawaii and he was there in

319
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 4: a hospital for a year. And you know, again I

320
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: didn't know anything about it. He never mentioned anything but

321
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 4: growing up. Sorry this is just a little emotional, but

322
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 4: he was a broken man when I was. He had

323
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: a lot of kids, and when I was the last

324
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 4: one he was. The PTSD came back and he had

325
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 4: a lot of anxiety depression. But it wasn't just because

326
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: of that. I think that, I mean, he didn't have had.

327
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 5: Memories, but I think that he was wondering.

328
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: Because he had. There were comments that he made. I

329
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: didn't get along with them. From the age of eleven.

330
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: On because he had difficulties, and so did I, and

331
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: I took on his anxiety and depression not knowing and

332
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 5: I later read sent away for his records and I

333
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 5: realized what he had gone through.

334
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: I actually went to Hawaii. I went to a place

335
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: called Camp Taro on the Big Island where they actually

336
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: trained for it and Oahu. Anyways, he died of mesothelioma

337
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: because I later found out that they lined the ships

338
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: the pipes with asbestos, and they knew. I met a

339
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: girl on the jury just see, you know, they did

340
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: know that asbestos. The records are all there. She was

341
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 4: on the jury for aspastist trial. So a lot of

342
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 4: these navy men died from asbestos, and.

343
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: The military knew that it was bad for their lungs. No, look,

344
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: that's there. I mean, I don't want to sugarcoat the past.

345
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: You know, we think, you know, they they sacrificed a

346
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of men. They just did. When World War One

347
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: and World War Two, our leaders then were not what

348
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: the press made them out to be. They just weren't.

349
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 1: I mean, there were some great men, but there were

350
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: also some horrible men. I'm not a big fan of

351
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I've said this a million times, but

352
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to get political right now over this. No,

353
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: I feel very sorry because our vets are used, they're abused,

354
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: We send them off to wars and then we basically

355
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: often we just forget about them, and many of them

356
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: come back with severe PTSD. And look, I know this

357
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: not that my father ever participated in a war, but

358
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: he was in a Communist concentration camp. And my grandfather

359
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: participated in a war was in Europe, it wasn't for

360
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: the United States, and he was in a Nazi camp

361
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: and in a Communist slave labor camp. And I'm telling you,

362
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: both my grandfather and my father suffered from PTSD, very

363
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: severe PTSD. And the way they dealt with it was

364
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: they smoked. I mean they also used alcohol. They drank wine,

365
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: but not to an excess at least my grandfather didn't.

366
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: My father drank a lot, but he could hold his water,

367
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, he could hold his liquor. But they smoked,

368
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: and that was one of the ways they coped. And

369
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: that's I don't want to get off track, but you know,

370
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: I often say, well, this person smokes too much, and

371
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't know what they're going through. You

372
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: just don't know.

373
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 3: You know.

374
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: Churchill suffered from PTSD after his experiences in war, and

375
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: when asked, why do you drink so much? Why do

376
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: you smoke so much? He said, you don't understand. If

377
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't drink and if I don't smoke, I'm dead

378
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: because of the massive stress that I keep getting these

379
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: panic attacks NonStop. So the only way I can cope

380
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: with it is through cigars and drinking. And you know,

381
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: we still have managed to live a long life. But

382
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: to bring it all full circle, look what our vets endure.

383
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: Nobody else can imagine. The bloodshed, the agony, the dead bodies,

384
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: the pain, the terror, the suffering, the death. And so

385
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: many of them do come back broken. It's just a fact.

386
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: And that's why we owe it to them to give

387
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: them the best healthcare, to give them the best benefits,

388
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: to honor them, to remember them, to commemorate them, and yes,

389
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: to put them first.
