Speaker 2: So the Coooner Man's going to be eating a lot

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: of turkey. I love Thanksgiving. It's maybe my favorite holiday

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: of the year. And with all the fixings. I love

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, I love it. The kids are

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it. Grace

00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: is looking forward to it. So truly from me, Mike, Sandy, everybody,

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: the whole team. Have a wonderful, happy, peaceful I hope

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: it's a very peaceful Thanksgiving. Don't argue politics. It's not

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: worth it. You have moonbats in the family, just ignore them.

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: There's so many other things to talk about. What's important

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: is family, friends, and being grateful and thankful for everything

26
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: that we have, above all being Americans. Okay, my friends,

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: I was thinking of leading to be brutally honest with

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: all of you with what is now happening regarding this

29
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: peace deal with Ukraine. And I'm probably gonna get to

30
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: it by the end to the show. It's geopolitics. It's

31
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: at the highest level. Trump now says they are very

32
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: very close to finally brokering a deal that will end

33
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: four years of carnage and bloodshed. And I gotta say,

34
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: if Trump can pull this off, it will be his

35
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: crown jewel. That will be the jewel in his crown

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: in terms of his foreign achievements, foreign policy achievements now,

37
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: but anyway, we're gonna get to that. The reason why

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: I'm not leading with Ukraine is because this story is

39
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: not just a very big local story. It is a

40
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: story that shows the future of cities towns across not

41
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 2: just Massachusetts or New England, but frankly in blue states

42
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: across the entire country. And when I say this, and

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: I forgive me because tomorrow's Thanksgiving and you're eating breakfast,

44
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: many of you, and I'm not trying to have you,

45
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: you know, throw it, you know, spit out your breakfast.

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: But you are now going to be living in a

47
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: future if we don't stand up to this right here,

48
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: right now, of literally living in garbage and squalor. No,

49
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: I mean literally living in garbage, trash and squalor. So

50
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: listen now to this hot tip to the New York Post.

51
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: The Moonbath mayor. And she's a hardcore leftist, Brianna Lungo,

52
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: I believe part of me, Mike Kern, you mean Cohen?

53
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 2: She really okay? Well, however you pronounce her last name,

54
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: Brianna Lungo says, it's current. I'm like, there's no r

55
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: in there anyway. Brianna Lungo cone Is. She is a

56
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: rabbit environmentalist. She is the woke mayor of Medford. And

57
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. This woman loves to rack up award

58
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: after reward after reward. This she wants the prize of

59
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: craziest radical Environmentalist. Well listen now to this. Okay, by

60
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: the way, for those of you, because we have a

61
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: massive audience outside of Massachusetts, Medford is a suburb literally

62
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: just outside of Boston. Okay, it's a little city suburb

63
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: just outside of Boston. It's where we broadcast our show from.

64
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: It's where iHeart broadcasts here in iHeart Boston. So in

65
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: a way, it's also personal to the cooner man, not

66
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: that I live in Medford, but I work in Medford. Okay,

67
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: long story short. She recently released a press release. Okay,

68
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: listen to this Bury twelve paragraphs in because she's going on,

69
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: I got great news to share with all of you.

70
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: Medford has received, now listen to this, a two hundred

71
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: thousand dollars pay as you throw grant from the Massachusetts

72
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: Department of Environmental Protection. So they got a two hundred

73
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: thousand dollars grant. And this grant apparently was because they're

74
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: really pushing recycling in Medford in a very aggressive way.

75
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: And apparently they're pushing what's called curbside composting. So you know,

76
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: they're like, this is no one does more composting, No,

77
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: one does apparently more recycling than this, you know, this

78
00:05:53,560 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: crazy mayor of Medford. So she's now claiming that in

79
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: order to protect quote unquote the environment, in order to

80
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: fight quote unquote climate change, and she's being applauded now

81
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: by environmental groups not just in Massachusetts, around the entire

82
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: country that now they are gonna reduce garbage pickup in Medford.

83
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: It's originally, you know, once a week. Now it's gonna

84
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: be once every two weeks, i e. Twice a month

85
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: and blank you. And so once every two weeks they're

86
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: gonna come by and they give you this, you know,

87
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: this sixty four gallon bin that you can stick your

88
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: trash in, and that's what they're gonna pick up once

89
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: every two weeks. That's it. And and the recycling obviously

90
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: every two weeks, the recycle. She's a recy fanatic. So

91
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: now and by the way, she brags in the press release,

92
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: no extra charge. And I'm like, what you're reducing trash pickup.

93
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: You're cutting it from four times a month, once a

94
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: week to now twice twice a month, once every two weeks,

95
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: and you're patting yourself on the back saying you're not

96
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: gonna charge us more for providing less service, literally half.

97
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: Now there's a couple of points that need to be made,

98
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: and then, honestly, I want to hear from you this

99
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: is an unbelievable development, because I'll tell you why. This

100
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: is gonna happen in cities and towns all across Massachusetts.

101
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen in Rhode Island. It's gonna happen in Maine.

102
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen in Vermont. It's gonna happen in California.

103
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen in New York. It's gonna happen in Illinois.

104
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: According now to these crazy environmentalists, they say that trash

105
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: pickup affects the damages the environment, pollutes too much, and

106
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: is bad for climate change. Well, okay, so now they're

107
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: gonna go from Remember we used to have twice a

108
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: week trash pickup. I remember those were and that wasn't

109
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: just you know, that wasn't too long ago. So we

110
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: went from twice a week to once a week to

111
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: now once every two weeks. Now, as many residents are

112
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: pointing out, and this woman really is a lunatic, she's crazy,

113
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: Medford already has a rodent infestation problem. Okay, rats, This

114
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: city is crawling with rats. Rats already are eating away

115
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: at garbage. They're going around. They got a problem with

116
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: the rat population already. Do you know what leaving garbage

117
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 2: out for two freaking weeks, say, and on the side

118
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: of the house or whatever as it piles up, do

119
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: you know what that's gonna do to the local rat

120
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: population and the rodent infestation problem. It is going to explode.

121
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: It's free. You might as well just name rename Medford

122
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: the rat city, the city of Rats. So it's gonna

123
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: lead to a massive rodent infestation problem that that's already

124
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: gonna happen in the summertime when it gets hot and sweltering.

125
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: It is gonna stink. It is gonna stink. Your streets

126
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: are gonna stink. Inside of your homes are gonna stink.

127
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: Your neighborhoods are gonna stink. The garbage it's gonna the smell.

128
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: So you are now gonna be having citizens of residents

129
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: of Medford literally living in garbage. But I'm gonna call

130
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: her out. As I said on exit, I'm gonna repeat

131
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: it right now. I don't believe the real reason is

132
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: going Green. She's a fanatic. She's an environmental fanatic. There's

133
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: no question. No, this is what happens when illegal immigration

134
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: is so out of control that it literally now strains

135
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: basic services. They can't afford to even pick up the

136
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: freaking trash because so much of the money is going

137
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: to illegals. And that's the problem. They've given so much

138
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: to illegals. They can't afford now to pick up your garbage.

139
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: And now you, the citizens today of Medford, are going

140
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 2: to have to be living in trash because of what

141
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 2: they've done regarding illegal immigration. But it's going to spread

142
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: from Medford to every town and every city because other

143
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: liberal mayor say, we want to reduce trash pickup to

144
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: twice a month as well.

145
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,480
