1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: is the number. I just want to quickly bounce off 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: of Josh's previous call. Josh from reading it's really heartbreaking 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: talking about him and you know his young partner and 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: how she works, he works, and they're both working and 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: money just keeps getting taken out of their account bills, taxes, 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: they just and they can barely make ends meet, both 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: of them working living in Massachusetts, and they're literally hand 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: to mouth, check to check. And just so that everybody 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: knows Mora Healy, there are now four hundred thousand illegal 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: aliens in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Remember we're only a 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: population of seven million, four hundred thousand illegals. Every illegal 13 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 1: alien family receives a hundred and eighty six thousand dollars 14 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: every year in taxpayer funded benefits. So to poor Josh 15 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: and his wonderful, you know partner, A lot of those taxes, 16 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: a bulk of those taxes are literally being used for 17 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars to give in housing vouchers to illegal 18 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: so they can buy, you know, get rent, get get 19 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: rental apartments, four thousand dollars in EBT cash every single 20 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: month to get free healthcare, free cell phones. I mean, 21 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: I could go on and on and on five hundred 22 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: dollars every month just to help them with their own food, 23 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: free cable. This is what you're paying for. This is 24 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: what I mean when I say we have to beat 25 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: Healy in the next year's election, like I don't know 26 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: if we can survive another four years. I'm serious. And 27 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: if you can't beat this record, then I'm sorry. The 28 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: Republican Party is completely useless, completely useless. Six one seven 29 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: two six six sixty eight sixty eight. So I just 30 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: want to read this. This is from five oh eight. 31 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: You can text the coooner Man seven zero four seven 32 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: zero and he's referring to Josh as well, Jeff, all 33 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: of these people who are talking about the state of 34 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: our economy, job availability, taxes. It is so sad, especially 35 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: when you consider how the illegals are getting everything for free. 36 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: We are paying for their comfort and security. Massachusetts could 37 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: be a place where everyone has enough of everything if 38 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't for Mora Healey's sanctuary state policy. What is 39 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: her end game, question mark? What is her motivation to 40 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: keep pampering these illegals? Why does it not bother her 41 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: that our constituents are suffering. You can hear it in 42 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: the people who call in. That's the question. Why does 43 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: this woman not give a damn about her fellow citizens 44 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: and constituents? And I think to me, it's all about power. 45 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: They have sold their souls for power. Sheldon insituate. Thanks 46 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: for holding Sheldon, and welcome. 47 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: Good morning, Jeff, Hi Sheldon. 48 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: I called to talk about the economy, but I totally 49 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: agree with you. We need one candidate going into next year, 50 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: not fighting amongst them about minute differences. We need one 51 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: Republican candidate next year, Sheldon. 52 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. I want to do this 53 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: almost as an informal poll, and if people can't call in, 54 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: which is fine, please email me or text the show 55 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: and let me know. Would you like me to do 56 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: a debate two hours? There's three of them. I will 57 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: be fair, give each equal time. Everybody can listen, and 58 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: then you decide who you want to be our candidate. 59 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Would you like me to do that? Probably in December 60 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: early December. 61 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely. That's brilliant, Jeff. But that's that's all the focus 62 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: on one person. 63 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: Okay. 64 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: But I. 65 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 3: Called to talk about the economy, and I'm a sales 66 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: rep for furniture companies that manufacture goods here in Actually 67 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 3: our factories are all in Mississippi. The issue is with tariffs. 68 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: Tariffs are actually now just starting to hit our cost. 69 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: They went into effect in July August, September because they 70 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: were delayed and there was a lot of negotiation. But 71 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: they're now hitting our cost and we're running out of 72 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: inventory on components the Unfortunately we can't buy in America, 73 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: things like fabric and leather. Mills that used to make 74 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 3: fabric in Lawrence and Maldon, they're all gone because of 75 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 3: overregulation by former administrations. Trump has an opportunity to help 76 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: the American manufacturer succeed and win the battle. The issue 77 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 3: is that we're paying those tariffs on the components that 78 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 3: we can't get here. And I understand that he's trying 79 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 3: to write thirty five years of issues or more issues 80 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: that have been called by previous administrations. The problem is 81 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: that most American consumers say, why, I don't want to 82 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 3: have to pay that burden. I want to do well, 83 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: I want to live a better life. I want to 84 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 3: live the great American dream. So in my opinion, he 85 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 3: could help these domestic manufacturers if he said to them, listen, 86 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 3: five years from now, you need to be buying those 87 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: components from America because we can't snap our fingers and 88 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 3: put fabric mills and leather mills and reclinary mechanism plants 89 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: back in America. It's not going to happen overnight. It 90 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: can happen, but we need some kind of either a 91 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: tax credit dollar for dollar for every component that we 92 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: have to pay a tariff on, get a tax credit 93 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: that would allow us to reduce our costs because we're 94 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: having to raise prices just like all the other people, 95 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: because we're paying more for it. Here's the point where 96 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: you may start to disagree with me. You just talked 97 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: about the four hundred thousand illegals that are here in 98 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: Massachusetts hiding in the system because more Healy's allowing it. 99 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: We will need. 100 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: Workers in this country. And this is where Donald Trump 101 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: could become the next Abraham Lincoln. In my opinion. He's 102 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: gotten rid of all the bad characters. And there's news 103 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: stories about him tearing families apart, and I'm sure that 104 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: may be happening, may not be, it's just maybe the news. 105 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: But we're sheldy. Can you do me a favor. I'm 106 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: up against the hard break. I want you to finish 107 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: your thought and not be rushed. Six one seven two six, 108 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: six sixty eight, sixty eight is the number. Okay, Sheldon, 109 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: he's in. You know, he's obviously he's got his ear 110 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: to the ground. He works in business, he's a salesman. 111 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: He says, we need to have much more of a 112 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: transition period if we want to undo thirty five years 113 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: of globalism and unfair trade. These tariffs are making things 114 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot more expensive, at least in his industry. And 115 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: Trump now at least has to give out tax credits 116 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: or something to offset because the costs are going up 117 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: and up. And then Sheldon said on immigration, on deportation, 118 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: Trump can be the new Lincoln. And then we got 119 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: cut off because of the break. Sheldon, please pick up 120 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: where you left off. 121 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: So, Jeff, you talked about four hundred thousand people being 122 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: here in Massachusetts that are basically feeding off the system. 123 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: They're hiding, they're not they're probably not paying income tax. 124 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 3: They're just taking from the system. We will need workers 125 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: in the factories that I represent down in the South 126 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: and in the Midwest and all over this country. In 127 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: my opinion. Yes, they're here illegally. There are a good 128 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: majority of them that are a good percentage of them 129 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: that are here to do harm, terrorism, etc. But there's 130 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: also a good percentage of people that are coming here 131 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: trying to get the American dream. And know they didn't 132 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: come in through the front door correctly, But here's a 133 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: place where Trump could say, you know what, you didn't 134 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 3: come in the right way. We're going to give you 135 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: an opportunity to work towards citizenship, whether it be five 136 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 3: ten years down the road. If you keep your nose clean, 137 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: don't get as much as a speeding ticket, We're going 138 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: to give you citizenship at some point down the road. 139 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: And if you do get a speeding ticket or commit 140 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: a crime, you're gone. You're out of the country. You're 141 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 3: not going to prison here, We're not going to pay 142 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: for you. 143 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: You're gone. 144 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: But those people that he gave that opportunity to, this 145 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 3: is where he could become the next Lincoln. Those people 146 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: would tell their kids and their grandkids, Donald Trump gave 147 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 3: me the opportunity to come to this country and become 148 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: a citizen of the greatest country in the world world. 149 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: I know we're not big fans of amnesty. And I 150 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 3: don't know if you call this amnesty or what you 151 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 3: call it, but we're living in a different world now 152 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 3: and we need to play by different tactics in my opinions. 153 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: Well, Sheldon, look, let me ask you this before we 154 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: besides talking about the amnesty issue. Elon Musk, I can 155 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: play you the cut. I don't want to waste your time. 156 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: Elon Musk at a major summit yesterday said in about 157 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years, AI and automation are going to 158 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: dominate so much of our economy that for most people 159 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: his words, not mine, working will become an option. Sorry, 160 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: working will be optional, meaning that it's going to be 161 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: hard for people to find jobs in the future because 162 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: everything is going towards robotics, automation AI already. Now you're 163 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: hearing story after story, and I'm not talking one hundred layoffs, 164 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: you know, or hundreds of job I'm talking tens and 165 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: tens of thousands. In some of the biggest companies and 166 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: firms across the economy. People are losing their jobs to AI. 167 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: My sister in law, who's a brilliant communications director. She 168 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: lives in Arizona, lost her job because they went to AI. 169 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: And you know she's got two graduate degrees, thirty years experience. 170 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: I could go on and on, but I mean a 171 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: very impressive resume and just a phenomenal communications director gone gone, 172 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: and she's finding it hard to find work because everybody's 173 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: converting to AI. My point is this, Sheldon, I think 174 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: we're living in a different world where we don't need 175 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: low skill we labor anymore or not as we used to, 176 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: because we live in a high tech, highly automated AI economy. 177 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: And in fact now it's the opposite what now policymakers 178 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: are looking at. Not today, but in ten fifteen years. 179 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: If you've got forty to fifty sixty percent of your 180 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: population that just aren't working because computers have taken over 181 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: everything or artificial intelligence or automation, you're gonna have to 182 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: give them a universal basic income. Like whether we like 183 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: it or not. People have to eat, people have to 184 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: get healthcare, people have to have a roof over their head. 185 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is, I don't know if we're 186 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: going to need all these workers, Sheldon, what we're being told. 187 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: You may disagree, you may know better, but people like 188 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: Elon are saying, no, the future is not in more workers, 189 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: it's in less workers, what say you. 190 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 3: I listened to that conference yesterday and he said some 191 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 3: very shocking things, talked about not having currency, and it 192 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 3: was a really interesting conference. He's a brilliant man. I 193 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 3: can't argue with him. And I agree that down the 194 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: road AI is going to take a much bigger role. 195 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: But there is a bridge to that. There have to 196 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: be people to build those those robots that are going 197 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: to take So there is a bridge, and if we 198 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 3: start thinking about it and working on it now, yes, 199 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: that's what we need to do. But these people that 200 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 3: are just now basically getting a universal income for doing nothing, 201 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: let's give them a job. Let's help have them help 202 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: build the bridge to get to AI and make it 203 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: logical so that we don't get there in ten fifteen 204 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 3: years and say, oh, shoot, we have to pay all 205 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: these people. Now, let's make it work to get to 206 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: that point. And I think that's where Trump needs to 207 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: step up and say, hey, ten fifteen years from now, 208 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot of AI, but let's 209 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 3: talk about how we're going to get there instead of 210 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: getting there and then having a complete mess on our hands. 211 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: Sheldon a very interesting thought provoking call. I got to say, Sheldon, 212 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: thank you very much for that call. Look, I can 213 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: just say two things very quick. Number one, I think 214 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: we have enough Native American workers. I don't think we 215 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: need to rely on illegals. You know this, like I 216 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: don't buy this we have a worker shortage. We don't. 217 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: In fact, we have millions of American Native born or 218 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: you know American workers who are just they've given up. 219 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: They're not in the labor force, they've just literally given up. 220 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: So let's give our own people jobs before we stalk 221 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: talking about giving illegals jobs, not to me or foreigners jobs. 222 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number Two, we need an industrial policy. 223 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: I know it's not fashionable to say it among conservatives 224 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: and stuff, but look what you're talking about, Sheldon, is 225 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: to rebuild our plants, our mills. We need an industrial policy, 226 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: and just super quick. I had no idea. I thought 227 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: we were still weaning ourselves off of China. I guess 228 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: we're not. Do you know that most of what we 229 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: have in our medicine cabinets still even after COVID is 230 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: made in China. The components of it, I'm talking, you know, aspirin, 231 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: whatever you know, anti allergy medication, whatever it is. Most 232 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: of those components are still made in China. Anti epilepsy 233 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: drugs made in China. Much of our insulin made in China. 234 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm type two diabetic. Now, God forbid, if we get 235 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: into an economic or trade war with China, what are 236 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: we going to do? So what They're going to cut 237 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: off the insulin? And I'm serious you how many type 238 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: two diabetics we have? Well, so we're making ourselves so 239 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: dependent on China. We need an industrial policy. There are 240 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: certain things like pharmaceuticals, life and death. You know, without insulin, 241 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: the cooner man's dead. I mean, I'm not saying overnight, 242 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: but you know, over you know, my sugar level spiking 243 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: and spiking and spiking, and eventually, i you know, my 244 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: liver gives out or my heart or whatever. What I'm 245 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: saying is certain drugs, certain medications, and yes, certain industries 246 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: are so necessary to the survival of the United States, 247 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: to the independence of the United States. We need an 248 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: industrial policy. And that's why on that I'm with Sheldon, 249 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: not on amnesty for illegals. But when he says, you know, hey, 250 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: we can't just you know, in two weeks you start 251 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: raising tariffs. We need some help, so we've got to 252 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: have an industrial policy. To me, I'm sorry, I don't 253 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: care what the Wall Street Journal says. Six one seven 254 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Scott in Northend, Over, 255 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: Thanks for holding Scott, and welcome. 256 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: Good morning, Jeff High Scott time listener, first time caller. 257 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: Welcome, Welcome Scott. 258 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 4: We have to get back to the econ me and 259 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 4: Trump being underwater supposedly, and that's all coming from the Democrats, 260 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 4: the propaganda media. We don't have an honest media. The 261 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 4: administration tries to get the word out, but you get 262 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 4: Best in and you get and you get Miller on 263 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 4: a couple of spots here and there. It's not enough. 264 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 4: Like you said, the President needs to get out and 265 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 4: address the nation and tell them how well we're doing, 266 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 4: tell them that this is a democratic problem, that the 267 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 4: Blue states are the ones that are underwater. And it 268 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 4: has a lot to do with the sanctuary cities, high taxes, 269 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 4: all the all the electric you know, regulations against everything. 270 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 4: Our own state just just denying that gas line. That's 271 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: a big reason why are energy builds are so high. 272 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 4: And you know the ministration they're trying to do it. 273 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 4: But you know, you get the positive reports on CNBC. 274 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 4: How many people watch that, you know, a spot here 275 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 4: and there on Fox Newsmax. Not many people see it. 276 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 4: They need to get the message out more. And as 277 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 4: far as the inflation, we know what happened when COVID came. 278 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 4: You know, we had the. 279 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: They buried us. No really, look, we never have really 280 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: recovered yet from COVID six one seven two six six 281 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight. Mark in Milton, Thanks for holding Mark, 282 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: and welcome good jet. 283 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking my call. 284 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: My pleasure problem. 285 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: Overall, the problem with the economy is actual economics, and 286 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 2: you've touched on it a number of times, as have 287 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: many callers. But I'd like to highlight what two governors 288 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 2: of Massachusetts have done more. And I believe she's actually 289 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: backing off on her claim when she was getting reelected 290 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: about how she stopped two gas lines. So she's already 291 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: backing off on that. But her legislative actions have driven 292 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: utility costs up. I don't know if most people remember, 293 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: but when Mitt Romney brought in Romneycare, which was the 294 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: precursor Tombacare, prices of health insurance, Okay, health insurance, not 295 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 2: health treatments skyrocketed. It was double digits into the twenties 296 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: for several years. So in both of these cases, supply 297 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: is being affected. In Romney's case, he mandated a supply, 298 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: so the suppliers of that insurance said, hey, we can 299 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: charge more, and they did in the least case by 300 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 2: restricting and then adding on pricing again a price increase. 301 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: Here's where we are currently twenty million illegals over Biden's term. 302 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: How many other illegals prior to that? At least twenty million. 303 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 2: I feel there's somewhere between forty and sixty million illegals. 304 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: You're dead on, Mark, You're dead on. So let's just 305 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: say forty just to be super conservative. Okay, let's say 306 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: minimum for Let's just say forty million to be You're right, 307 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: I think it's as high as sixty, but just for 308 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: the sake of argument, say forty million. 309 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: Keep going Mark, Okay, so forty million. I know it's 310 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: not an option. But when people go to the grocery store, 311 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: they're bidding on products. So when Lays potato chips can 312 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: sell a crapload of Lays potato chips, their demand goes up. 313 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 2: And what happens to their price. 314 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: It goes up. 315 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 2: Same with beef. Same with beef. When so many more 316 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: people are buying beef, the demand for beef goes up. 317 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: Bo you mentioned housing. Of course, how can people who 318 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: have to pay for it out of their own pocket 319 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: compete with people who don't have to pay for it 320 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: out of their own pocket? Prices go up. I'm not 321 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: an economics professor, and I only took a couple rudimentric 322 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: courses in college. But in order to fix the economy 323 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 2: so that people like you and I who work hard 324 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 2: make reasonable money can prosper. So our children, mine are 325 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: a little older than yours. Both have houses, and they've 326 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: got great jobs. Wives have great jobs, YadA, YadA, YadA, 327 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: and they're scraping by. We have to remove the I'm 328 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: going to call it the fake demand. That's what I 329 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: called it when Mitt. 330 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: Romney, Oh you held it honestly, genius. No, I'm really, 331 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: I'm serious, genius, absolute genius. You're right. It's basics, and 332 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: I love the way you laid it out so simply, 333 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: so clearly, so coherently, so cogently. It's supply and demand. 334 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: It's really it's not simple. And Mark I don't want 335 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: to put words in your mouth, but basically, to even 336 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: simplify just a todd more, what you're really saying is, look, Jeff, 337 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: let's leave out the sixty million o' gott to score 338 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: low forty million, remove fourteen million people from the United 339 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: States who shouldn't be here. What's going to happen to prices? 340 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: It's going to go down, Mark, Am I wrong? 341 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 2: Exactly? Demand will drop, prices will go down to a 342 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 2: reasonable And let's talk more about illegals. I don't subscribe 343 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: to a minimum wage being a living wage. But why 344 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: is minimum wage at fifteen? Why isn't it eighteen or 345 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: twenty or twenty five? Let me tell you why. It's 346 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: because illegals have continuously and continually accepted jobs at lower wages, 347 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: so that you know that every restaurant employee is underpaid. 348 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: Every landscaping, every manufacturing, everything about illegals damages the economy. 349 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: There is nothing that illegals do that improves the economy. 350 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 2: There's nothing. There's not one thing. 351 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: And on top of the crime that they bring, the diseases, 352 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I could go on and on all the 353 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: other social problems that they bring with them. I mean Mark, 354 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: you're on fire. Mark, You're right, And this is the 355 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: other thing. And I'm going to have to end it 356 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 1: at this mark, but just because I want to get 357 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: to Ann and Hull, but a masterclass. Okay, But think 358 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: about it. It's not just that they work under the 359 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: table and they're undercutting wages right for everybody else. They're 360 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: also getting one hundred and eighty six thousand dollars per family. 361 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: I mean, ay, yea, yay, So they're making two hundred 362 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: to two and whatever, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars 363 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: a year when you combine all the benefits and what 364 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: they're making under the table. That's why they're driving around 365 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: inautiful pickup trucks. That's why you see them with two 366 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: carts of food. That's why you see them with brand 367 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,239 Speaker 1: new sneakers. That's why you see them with all these 368 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: beautiful iPhones. And you're like, I'm struggling and they're on 369 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 1: Easy Street. What the hell's going on? And in Hull, 370 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: I hate to do this to you, and you've got 371 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: less than one minute go. 372 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 2: I only have a question. 373 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: Yes, I was wondering if Trump derangement syndrome is covered 374 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: under Obamacare and should I do a debate with the 375 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: three Republican candidates for governor? You like it? Yes, I 376 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: just need a yes or a no. Yes, all right, 377 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: thank you, and I think most of you want one. 378 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: So I'm going to talk to Sandy. She's going to 379 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: reach out to the campaigns and we'll set up a 380 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: day in a time. It'll be at least a two 381 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: hour debate.
