I 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: gave him a job. 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: I'll go tax benefit for you though, No, like what. 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: Why do I have to I don't know. I just 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: there's just too much taxes. And I heard I'm still 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 2: even though. 30 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: I live down here, I still obviously get a lot 31 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: of my algorithm for all my news goes up to 32 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: Massachusetts a lot. 33 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: And how is it that the politicians up there are 34 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: against lowering the income tax rate to like what four percent? 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: Like is that like a huge thing? Are you going 36 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: to be doing shows on that? 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Because that's gonna be apps. 38 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: It's a literally great topic. I can't wait for that 39 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: because Maaura heally talk about it. Yeah, we're a sick 40 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 2: I mean, I know you have her on and you 41 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: got to be like nice to her and everything. And 42 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: obviously she's a good person, but on the politics end 43 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: of it, she's got to be like mentally ill with that. 44 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: She doesn't really believe that, you know, we need to 45 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: pay more taxes. Well not we, but no, let me. 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: I don't want to defend her. But let me try 47 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: to put you in her shoes. She has a budget 48 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: of sixty two billion dollars okay, in which she runs 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: the state. Now that budget is about twice what it 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: was ten or twelve or fourteen years ago. I mean, 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: the budget in Massachusetts gone up incredibly. We also have 52 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: an eight billion dollar rainy day fund, so there's an 53 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: eight billion dollar pool of money that she could access 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: if she needed it. Okay, we're losing people out of 55 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: Massats like yourself and others. And one of the reasons 56 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: they were losing people is not only is the five 57 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: percent income tax there, which of course is on top 58 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: of federal income tax, but now you have the millionaires 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: tax in Massachusetts. So if you happen to have a 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: big year, I mean a really big year and make 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: over a million dollars, anything over a million, and that, 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: by the way, there are very successful you know business 63 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: people who make over a million dollars. Uh small, Yeah, 64 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: Well there are people. Yeah, and they're not being packed. 65 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: They're being taxed people. 66 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: They're being taxed at nine percent. So because they're successful, 67 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: they're being penalized. Additionally, why, because you have a lot 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: of people in this state who don't pay taxes, who 69 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: take from the government. Many of those are people who 70 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I want to support. Many of those are people who 71 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: are dealing with disability, with infirmities, that diseases, illnesses. Those 72 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: are the people that need our support. But then you 73 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of people who are sucking off the system. 74 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: You've got people who have moved in here and who 75 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: are sucking off the system. And that's what upsets people. 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: And the politicians don't want to pay any attention to 77 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: guys like you or me. They look at these other 78 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: And then you have the the the unions, the teachers 79 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: union specifically in Massachusetts, which which just wants to go 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: on strike and get pay raises and and have fewer 81 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: kids in the classroom and spend fewer times fewer hours teaching. 82 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 3: Well, if you saw Ron Mariano, a guy from math, 83 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: math fiscal and again, I just follow this at a 84 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: peer like I'm a masochist, clearly, Like even though I leave, 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: I still so I still feel like I'm math. 86 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 2: My parents live up there. But like this guy gets 87 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 2: interviewed by a mass fiscal guy and he can't answer 88 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: a single question about anything. He says. The guy was 89 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: asking him, oh, will you ignore, will will the state 90 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: House ignore the vote on lowering income tax like you 91 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: did the audit and the guy just, you know, basically 92 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: spits in his face. And it's just I don't get it. 93 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: Everyone up there, you got to just start voting. I mean, 94 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: I just don't understand how well. 95 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: The problem the problem is. The problem is real simple. 96 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: We have a one party state. It's overwhelmingly Democratic. They 97 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: can do whatever they want. The Republicans have have no bench, 98 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: and the Democrats in Massachusetts, by the way, have a 99 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: great bench. They have a lot of young state senators, 100 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: state representatives, people who who who you know, have run 101 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: for public office. And in Massachusetts, we need to bring 102 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: in Elizabeth Warren from Oklahoma to run for the Senate. 103 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: We need to bring in Michelle wou from Chicago to 104 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: become mayor, Aana Presley from Chicago to become a member 105 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,559 Speaker 1: of Congress, Katherine Clark from Colorado to become a member 106 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: of Congress. It's it's it's incredible the Democratic. 107 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: Party did not just I'm just glad I don't see 108 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: it in my check.

Paying taxes wasn't 218 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 4: an issue. It was an issue of fixing our stuff. 219 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 4: We want to fix the library roof.

I think 230 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: you're giving me a silly answer. I'm asking you in 231 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: a serious question. Are you still working or you're retired? 232 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: You told me once you were older. 233 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 4: I am, and I don't want to tell too much 234 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 4: about my life on the no, I understand. 235 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: It, but it does.

Okay, So if you don't have 237 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: to pay taxes, David, or if you you know, if 238 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: you're in a situation where you don't pay taxes, raise taxes. 239 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: But if you're a family and you're having a tough 240 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: time making it and taxes, look, I paid plenty of taxes, David. Okay, 241 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: I play putty of taxes and guess what, you know 242 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: what they don't bother me. But you know what really 243 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: bothers me about taxes.

But I asked 251 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: you a few questions.

This is from the Associated Press, not 346 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: a mouthpiece for the Trump administration. Vice President of Van 347 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: says administration is passing some medicaid funding to Minnesota because 348 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: of fraud concerns. Vice President jd Vance. This is an 349 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: article written by Michelle Price and Ali Swinson out of Washington. 350 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday the would be yesterday 351 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: that the Trump administration would temporarily halt some medicaid funding 352 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part 353 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: of what he described as an aggressive crackdown on misuse 354 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: of public funds. Vance, who made the announcement with doctor 355 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: Mehmet Oz, the Administrative administrator for the Centers for Medicare 356 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: and Medicaid Services, said the administration was taking the action 357 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes 358 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American 359 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: people's tax money. Oz, who referred to people committing fraud 360 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: as he serving scoundrels, said the federal government would hold 361 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: off on paying two hundred and fifty nine zero point 362 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: five million to Minnesota in funding for Medicaid, the health 363 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: safety net for low income Americans. This is not a 364 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: problem with the people of Minnesota. It's a problem with 365 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: the leadership of Minnesota and other states who who do 366 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: not take Medicaid preservation seriously. As said, Okay, so what 367 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: happened was David is referring to something that happened, but 368 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: he's trying to put his own spin on it, and 369 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: I simply read to you what AP is doing.

It's funny 382 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 4: because I think Governor Hutchinson had to flee to England 383 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 4: to get the hell out of Dodge because people were 384 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 4: so upset at him and John Malcolm. If I'm not 385 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 4: if I don't remember my history right, not, seventeen seventy 386 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 4: four was todd and feathered. He was a tax collector 387 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: of Boston. And if if I remember again right, there 388 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 4: was something called the Tea Party. 389 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I do remember that. I cover that one 390 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: of my early live shots. 391 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 4: I think I thought that was you back in your 392 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 4: days covering the Boston mob. I thought you would cover 393 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: and probably probably that thing too, so I'd be interested 394 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 4: in is he sort of Shay's rebellion? Must we go on? 395 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 4: Benjamin Franklin in Parliament before the House of Commons. Must 396 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 4: we go on? 397 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: No, no, no, But David David who doesn't want to 398 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: tell us what his what he does. He's been on 399 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: the government dole his. 400 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 4: Entire life, and I've been paying for it.

Yeah, And again he comes on that that mem 403 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: and Oz doctor Oz wants to eliminate uh, you know, 404 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: artificial limbs, wheelchairs. Oh sure, yeah. And again it's like 405 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: it's like I get sick of hearing him claim the 406 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: same untruths. I don't want to say lies, because that's 407 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: a very harsh word. I simply say untruths. 408 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 4: Well, it's funny because the left is filled with untruth 409 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 4: they they their entire modus operanda is based on it. 410 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 4: So today the reason I called you is because today 411 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 4: I noticed, well, I'm on Twitter, you know, watch it 412 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 4: all this where I get my news.
