• 0:06
  Speaker 1: 2026 on the Lee Elsie Show. Good morning. For the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: next three, you're going to belong to me. We'll do
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the prayer, then we'll do the program, then we'll get
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: into it. Heavenly Father, we come before you with humble
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: hearts asking for your mercy and your peace in this
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: uncertain hour. We lift up our nation and our leaders
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: around the world. Grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: courage to do what is right, and discernment that may
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: prevent needless suffering. Guide every decision with justice restraint and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a desire for peace. Lord, we pray for the brave
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: men and women of our military and for our police officers, firefighters, paramedics,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and all first responders, including the officers of ICE. Surround
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: them with your protection. Strengthen them for the difficult days ahead.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Comfort their families and bring them safely home. And Lord,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you know I like to pray that same prayer for
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: all the people out there today that are working people,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: who are at risk doing what they need to do
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: for their families. Bring them home to the safety and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: comfort of their families tonight, today as well. We ask
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you to watch over our country, unite us in purpose,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: calm our fears, and remind us that our ultimate hope
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is found in you alone. May your peace rule in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: our hearts, your truth guide our nation, and your hand
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of protection rest upon the United States of America. In
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name we pray, amen. Well, good morning. It's Tony D'Angelo,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and the last of my Actually, the second to the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: last of my temporary Tuesdays. A little bit of housekeeping first.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I'll give you the forecast, which pretty much looks pretty
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: good throughout the week. Today is sunny, high near 55.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Might get a little warm in the sun later, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: then tonight's clear. We have a frost advisory, coastal areas,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: from midnight through 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. So we've had
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: our frost in Pomfret, and the program today, we've got...
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You got me until 6.50. Then you have Bob Lazeri
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: with sports. The Power Hour, which I can't wait for today.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Everybody's telling me how much they love these conversations. And
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I was honored yesterday that I was actually able to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: sit and listen to what we did, which is rare.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You know, Bob Swick and I will be on from
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: 7 to 8. 8 o'clock, you're going to be hearing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: from a gentleman, John Sanders. I will give you the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: background as you see him. You want to be here
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for this. You're going to be blessed. 8.30 is voice
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of the fan, open season, let it all hang out.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But I, again, am so grateful. I'm going to begin
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: today for myself. I have a one-minute tape, give or take,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to have Mr. Engineer play it for me,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: if he would be so kind.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: All right, good morning.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I am Sweeney.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I'm coming to you live from a frigid Friday here.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: We have a momentary technical difficulty.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: All right, good morning.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I am Sweeney.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I'm coming to you live from a frigid Friday here
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: in Soho. I want to hop up here and give
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: you my take in 60 seconds or less like.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: I always do.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: This will be to draw your attention to a piece
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: of legislation. That was passed in law yesterday in the
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: cloak of the night by New York City Council, which
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: in my estimation is the single most dangerous and radical
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: move by the Mamdani administration yet.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: Take a look at this and I'll explain it to you.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Right now, as you're watching me because of that law,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the government here in New York City has the right
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: of first refusal on property sales. So what does this
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: mean in effect? That means if I, a property owner,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: want to sell my property to be a willing purchaser,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: the government now is the option to intervene and buy
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: that property instead. Now apply that to different pieces of property,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: which is of course the direction these.
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: People want to go in.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Your car, your boat, your home. If you want to
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: sell these things, the government has a right to intervene
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: and buy them first. Now fast forward 5, 10, 15
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: years as the government with its endless resources and endless
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: money in the form of your tax dollars expands its
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: portfolio of private property When you want to buy one
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: of those things or rent an apartment, you've got to
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: buy or rent from the government. And let's take a
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: look at apartments that have been run by the government.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: These would be our conditions. Guys, what I'm saying is
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: not political. It's not partisan. It is pure fact. They
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: wanted to get communism into the front door. And because
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: they couldn't, they're going in through the back. And my
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: only request for New Yorkers is that you guys please
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: finally wake up before it's too late.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Wake up before it's too late. And I want to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: reiterate what the young gentleman said. If I wish to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: sell my house or my building right now, we're at
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: buildings in New York City, to another person like my engineer,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and I say we agree on a price and everything's fine,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we then turn to the government. And the government has,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in New York City, coming to a stupid state near
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you or a stupid city, 90 days. to say, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: don't want it, I really don't want it, I really
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: don't know, this or that, let us send in our inspectors,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and on and on. And basically, we've now crossed over
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in America, or in Connecticut, or 90 miles down the road,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: or if you're listening in Fairfield County, you're a whole
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: lot closer to this, the government actually inserting itself into
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: private capital and private worth. And as the young gentleman
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was saying, where does it stop? Because, quote, unquote, to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the greater good, they, of course, know better than we do,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and they, of course, have unlimited resources, as the young
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: gentleman Sweeney said, with your tax dollars, can go and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: buy whatever in the hell they want and stick their
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: fingers in what you have worked for your life to do. Now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the reason for this is because government is so inept
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: overspending Politicians are the enablers of government or whatever you
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: want to call it. They're the opening act for the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: administrative state which enables the government. And they've so burned
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: out of your tax money, they now want to get
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: into your pocket because, after all, that is theirs and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: not yours. This all kind of goes back to Barry
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Obama when he said, you know, you didn't build that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I built the road for you to drive to the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: building and make whatever it was you're going to make. So, therefore,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you were entitled to pay me for what I did.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And actually, Barry didn't build any road. Your tax dollars
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: built the road. Government's primary job is to build the road.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Government wants to do everything else. And that was what
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: they think. So that's basically what we're coming down to. Now,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you think that's good? You like some peanut butter? I'm
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: going to give you some Skippy with nuts. I don't
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: know how many of you guys remember Robert Reich. He
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was the Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton. I like
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to call him a Bolshevik dwarf, basically. And this guy
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was probably the biggest closet communist ever in the history
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of mankind. He's coming out yesterday saying, well, I think
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the government should own Starlink. Now think about this. A
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: lot of us right now are considering getting Starlink, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we're measuring our properties. I know where we are personally,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we would have to erect something, and it would basically
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be free over the air, not necessarily free over the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: air internet, but certainly no reliance on the wonderful world
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of public utilities, Big Brother, or your friendly local cable
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: internet company. I have no complaint with my own as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it sits, but you wonder what... As people want to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: control what's there, you wonder where the hell they're going
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to go next. And it's like, well, if you control Starlink,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and if the government owns Starlink, basically they're going to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: start restricting that. And this is because their greatest, shall
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I say, nightmare... is an empowered citizen, is information, is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you knowing what the hell they're doing and coming out
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and telling them that. So if, which brings me back
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to where I'm at or where I'm starting or where
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I'm beginning, if this is the mind of government where,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and this all comes down to, you know, free grocery
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: stores and free buses and everything else, and you might
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: want to sit there, you know, you're sitting in, East Lyme, Connecticut,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: or Woodstock, Connecticut, or wherever you happen to be, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you think, oh, that couldn't possibly come here. The people
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: who are in your government are equally as motivated and or, i.e.,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: equally as stupid as the people who are in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: New York City Council. It is very easy for them
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to say, well, you know, affordability is a big crisis,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and people are getting rich, and they're selling things, properties
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for incredible amounts of capital gain, and that's not fair,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and there needs to be something of affordability for all. Therefore,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we're going to have government institute a right of first refusal.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: People are thinking about this right now, and where I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: lose my mind, basically, is when you talk to people
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: who were in office, running for office, discussing something, And
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you say, don't you know what the mindset is of
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: these people who want to take over everything? You may
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: think it's about libraries. You may think it's about porn
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: in libraries or kiddie porn in libraries or the whole thing.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And that is a wonderful fight. And that is a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: good fight. But that is only the calling card. Look
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: at it this way. You get into the library. By
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: doing kids' books, basically? I mean, the guy who's writing
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that law does not want his kids to read that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: porn any more than you do, but what's the objective
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: by that? that, basically? Well, you start to control other things.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, you know, you've got this history here.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You've got some George Washington, some General John Pershing. You've
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: got some Abraham Lincoln. It's like, we don't need any
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of that. All that stuff is, you know, we're going
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to do the 1619 Project or we're going to do
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all this other stuff. It is all a part of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the erasure of of Western culture. You don't believe me?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Look at Paris. Paris is what happens when you have
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: an unending social service net, no capital investment, nobody investing
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: in things, you know, kind of like Connecticut, basically. And,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know, why I scream about opportunity zones and why
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I scream about Trump accounts and why I scream about
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: empowering people financially, because when you have something, it gets
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a lot harder for somebody to take it away from
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you when you have nothing. It's like, yeah, give me
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: your house. Give me your turn. Tell me, you know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: tell me King Kong wrote the constitution. I really don't care.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Just feed me and house me. And it's like, basically
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: this is where we are at right now. This is America.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is Connecticut, October 27th, 2026. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it's right now it's sane versus crazy. It's what you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: own versus what the government wants to take from you.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: And let me just say this, and I know we're
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: coming up on a break. I see so many frustrated
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Republicans and good-hearted people when they're running, and it's like,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: how do I deal with Donald Trump? How do I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: deal with Donald Trump? We'll get it this way. What
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is wrong? Leave Donald Trump out of it for just
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a second. Humor me for a little bit. Permit me
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to have my folly. What is wrong with a strong economy?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with kids that are financially free of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: debt in 15 years? Mark this day. Mark this day.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And put a calendar, if you have a calendar, going
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: out 15 years. And if we still have poor kids
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: 15 years from now, I told you on this day
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and I told you two months ago how we get
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: kids out of debt and financially empowered in 15 years.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It involves something called a Trump account. But basically... These
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: are good principles regardless of the man doing them. Now,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the man is making mistakes. He is a man. Okay,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. People make mistakes. GD it. But basically, it's like, okay,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: take the good principles. When people turn that MAGA crap
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: on you, why don't you start turning this commie crap
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: on them? Hey, Democrat, do you believe that public, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that there should be a right of first refusal? Do
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you believe that there should be a that government should
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: step in and start owning property and don't let them
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: get away with it? You know, press them on it,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: because that is, to me, in my mind, the reverse
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: MAGA argument. How many Democrats are out there that believe
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in this crap and want to have, quote, unquote, you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: right of first refusals on property? It starts there. It's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: coming to your house. It's coming to perhaps your livestock,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: your farm. Get ready. Here it comes. Well, get ready,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and here comes the rest of the show. Tony D'Angelo, 94.9

  Speaker 32: arrested over the weekend after allegedly breaking into a home

  Speaker 32: to determine the cause of death. I'm Sean Murphy. When
• 23:00
  Speaker 32: news breaks, we break.
• 23:03
  Speaker 33: In.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. Tony D'Angelo in for the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Lee Elsie Show and our Peter Familias, whom I understand
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: will be returning in five broadcast days, and all of
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: us await that very eagerly. Several bits of housekeeping. The
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: my engineer in a moment of sobriety asked me who
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: John Sanders is at eight o'clock and I'm not going
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to throw that game in the bullpen. The only thing
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you is you're going to be amazed.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: And you know how I like to do occasionally and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I always forget the honor group of the day. Well,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I have the honor man of the day in Coach
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Juan Roman. And I minimize his life experiences when I
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: say that. But he sends me a message over the break.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It's like, was the opening Chet Baker? I said, yes,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: it was Chet Baker. Look for the silver lining. So, Juan,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you're in the honor group of the day all by yourself.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: But anyway, got a few minutes with you here. I'm
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: going to read something to you. And believe me, I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: recommend to everybody. find these new services. I haven't joined
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Truth Social yet. I just haven't. I haven't had the time,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: but I'm kind of comfortable on X. But, you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I follow the biblical admonition of in the mouth of
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: two or three witnesses, if I'm seeing something happen two
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: times and both people are saying the same thing, I'm
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: kind of interested. I turn once again to Spencer Pratt,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: And most of you know Spencer Pratt. He ran for
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: mayor of Los Angeles, and basically they stole the election
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: from him due to fraud. Believe me, what's going to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: happen in California, which is a place I used to
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: love to go, love to visit, wanted to live there,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: did live there for a while, and, and, and, this
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: is going to be unbelievable beyond belief. And you're going
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to see this spreading to every single city where things
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: are just so out of control. There are people addicted
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: people everywhere i was watching a video the other night
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: of steve hilton who basically is tearing his guts out
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: to run for governor and save california and i say
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to myself why don't other people running for office do
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: what he's show me that you mean it how badly
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: do you want it do you see what's happening and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: basically what he's doing is he's doing a 60 second
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: video And while he's doing it, he's pointing over his
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: shoulder and you see a police officer and some guy
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: in the street and they're having a shootout. And this
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: is like downtown Los Angeles at night on a Sunday.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He then has the camera turn to across the street
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and there's just homeless tents and addicted people everywhere now.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: If this is what you want to see in America
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: with open borders and drugs for whoever needs them and
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: all this other kind of stuff, this is what you're
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: going to get. But basically, my estimation of what you're
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: seeing is the decline of Western civilization, and to which
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I go to the Spencer Pratt posting on X. This
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: is a day ago. People who believe that a solution
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to life's problems is giving more tax money to the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: government are the people who actually haven't dealt with real problems. Amen, brother.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Small example. We, meaning the Prats, had to get Starlink
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: internet for our property and our vehicles because after government
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: burned down all the palisades in Malibu, the utility infrastructure
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: is still so bad, you end up with complete dead
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: zones everywhere. I couldn't manage running a campaign like that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: because one industrialist built a rocket company years ago. We
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: now have an option to directly bypass everyone else's failings
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: while government spends the next three decades rebuilding. And when
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: you talk to the folks out there, a lot of
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it is like they're never going to rebuild because I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: was listening to Adam Carolla, and he said, you know,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: his words, not mine. He said there are six lesbians
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: on the Malibu City Council that won't allow anything to
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: be built. And Spencer Pratt says all my savvy neighbors
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: who are rebuilding are investing in fire defense sprinkler systems
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: on their properties, aggressively managing the vegetation around their homes.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: They've learned that no matter how much you pay the government,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: they will not be there when you need them. Let
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: me read that again. They've learned that no matter how
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: much you pay the government, they will not be there
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: when you need them. Most their incompetence will likely be
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the source of the emergency in the first place. Can
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you folks like in New York and Connecticut, can you
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: dig what Mr. Pratt is saying? They won't be there
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: when the fire hits your backyard. They won't be there
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: when the homeless drug zombie stabs you.
• 27:43
  Speaker 34: In the neck.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: But they certainly will be there if the IRS doesn't
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: get their share. This guy is so right on, it's unbelievable.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Every smart person who has endured hardship in this country
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: is hell-bent on becoming more self-reliant, independent, and off the grid.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: We call that a clue. And I give that to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: you as kind of an admonishment of things to come.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Because if this is, I'm just speaking factually, I don't
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: want to see this. I'm here on the Tuesdays. I'm
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: here doing my best so that it doesn't happen. I'm
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: having fun, okay? I am enjoying this. I mean, you know,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the house is a wreck. You know, the spouse is
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: giving me dirty looks. The animals are like, when are
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: you going to feed me, wash me? I understand all that.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I'm having fun. But basically... the clients are like, where
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the hell is he? But it's like, I'm here because
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see America crumble, and we are
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: that close. We are that close to that happening. And
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: if it does, if it does, if the election is
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: not what we would hope it would be, these, whatever
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: you want to call it, municipal systems and governmental systems
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that we would rely on to do things are going
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to get more and more taxed, more and more strained.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Who's going to pay the fire department if basically people
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: start abandoning their homes? I'm noticing more and more for
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: sale signs go up as I'm driving. You know, during
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the 2020 onset of COVID, houses would sell in five
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: minutes because basically people were running out of New York.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: They thought that Connecticut would be a cleaner environment. But
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: now I'm seeing houses. I mean, you know, I can
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: pop for just sit there. I just go by the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: signs like thing hasn't sold yet. What the hell's going on?
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But basically, when you start to see foreclosures, you start
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to see a drop in revenue who will pay the fire,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: who will pay the police, who will pay the people
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to fix. the roads, it's going to become a situation
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: where you've got to pick it up on your own.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So I hand that to you not in fear, but remember,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: forewarned is forearmed. Anyway, 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. Tony

  Speaker 9: Bob Lazari.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. We turn to the wide
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: world of sports and our pal Bob Lazari. Hey, Bob,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: how are you?
• 36:00
  Speaker 27: I'm good, Tony. How are you?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks. Coming in loud and clear, wherever you want
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to go, man.
• 36:04
  Speaker 41: Yeah, Tony, let's start with birthdays today, because on this
• 36:08
  Speaker 41: day in history, we're going to concentrate on the Mets
• 36:10
  Speaker 41: a bit later. But let's talk about birthdays. Born on
• 36:13
  Speaker 41: this day, Tony, believe it or not, Ralph Kiner.
• 36:16
  Speaker 42: Oh, Mr.
• 36:17
  Speaker 27: Kiner.
• 36:18
  Speaker 41: Now, Tony, Ralph Kiner led the league in home runs
• 36:21
  Speaker 41: seven years in a row, including his rookie year. That
• 36:25
  Speaker 41: hasn't happened much in history. And that's why he's a
• 36:28
  Speaker 41: Hall of Favor. But you used to tell me stories, Tony,
• 36:30
  Speaker 41: about seeing him in Stanford and Greenwich, right?
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: His daughter actually interned for us. This is going back
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: years and years and years. And he would show up
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: to pick her up. This was actually in the old
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Fawcett Publications in Greenwich, you know, my first quote-unquote real job.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: And he had an old cream-colored antique Porsche. And the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: license plate was Homer 55. I guess that was his...
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: He won the Homer title. And, Bob, he was a
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: huge man, huge hands, beat red face cigar, kind of grumbled.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: And from what I understand, he loved to play his
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: golf and then loved to have a few belts and
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: just a general good time guy. I learned a lot
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: of vocabulary words from him. I mean, he would always
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: use words like ephemeral and things like, what would he say,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the vicissitudes of baseball. And it's like, what the heck
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: does that mean? So I'd have to get up off
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the floor. I'd have to go get the World Book Dictionary,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: open it up and say, okay, what does that word mean?
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he... Who says.
• 37:37
  Speaker 41: Sports isn't education? That's terrific, Tony. I mean, Kiner, we
• 37:43
  Speaker 41: remember him well after his playing days. Kiner's corner after
• 37:47
  Speaker 41: Met Home Games and the interviews were tremendous. And it
• 37:50
  Speaker 41: gave you a chance to see the out-of-town guys that you...
• 37:53
  Speaker 41: look forward to.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: And he was, he was a great interviewer. Like the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: interviews with he and Seaver after a game were, were
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: so highly technical because Connor would say, what were you
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: thinking on this count? And, and Seaver, who is a
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: very intelligent cerebral man, he was an engineer would say, well,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: you know, it was, uh, I was trying to come
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: an inch off the plate. I didn't, he got a
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: single off of me, but I was able to come
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: back on the next pitch. You figure like athletes, it's
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: always like the thing of, you know, athletes are dumb,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: but you know, Seaver was not that, That's for sure.
• 38:24
  Speaker 41: Another birthday today, Tony. Do you remember Mike Lum of
• 38:27
  Speaker 41: the Atlanta Braves?
• 38:28
  Speaker 43: I sure do.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I sure do.
• 38:30
  Speaker 41: He's from Honolulu, Hawaii.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 38:32
  Speaker 41: One of the first, if not the first, from Hawaii
• 38:35
  Speaker 41: to play in the major leagues. And did for 15 years.
• 38:37
  Speaker 41: But he cashed a lot of paychecks, Tony, with the
• 38:40
  Speaker 41: Atlanta Braves back in the day. So he celebrates today.
• 38:43
  Speaker 41: Pete Vukovic, Tony, you and I had talked about the
• 38:47
  Speaker 41: Harvey's Wallbangers recently. He was a member of that 82
• 38:50
  Speaker 41: Brewer team.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was.
• 38:52
  Speaker 27: In fact.
• 38:53
  Speaker 41: We didn't even mention him, Tony. He won the Cy
• 38:55
  Speaker 41: Young that year.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: He sure did.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: 18-6.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: He sure did.
• 39:00
  Speaker 41: And he had a couple good years in St. Louis,
• 39:02
  Speaker 41: and he was a great pitcher. He just, again, like
• 39:05
  Speaker 41: another guy I'm going to mention in a minute, arm
• 39:07
  Speaker 41: problems kind of, you know, by the age of 30.
• 39:09
  Speaker 41: These guys were done back then. But Pupukovic is 74
• 39:13
  Speaker 41: years old today. Here's the other guy, Tony, Bill Travers.
• 39:16
  Speaker 41: He pitched for the Brewers, too.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: In the 70s.
• 39:19
  Speaker 41: He won 15 games. It was an all-star in 76.
• 39:24
  Speaker 41: Had a tremendous ERA. But hurt his arm, Tony, at
• 39:28
  Speaker 41: the age of 27. Went to California, was horrific. Tried
• 39:31
  Speaker 41: to come back a couple years, just couldn't do it.
• 39:34
  Speaker 41: And it's too bad, again, the medicine wasn't like it
• 39:36
  Speaker 41: is now. So Bill Travers, he's also 74 years old today, Tony.
• 39:42
  Speaker 41: Let's see who else we have. Bip Roberts, Tony. This
• 39:45
  Speaker 41: guy was a very valuable player. I mean, I looked
• 39:48
  Speaker 41: at his numbers, Tony. This is the guy who played
• 39:50
  Speaker 41: 12 years in the major leagues, Padres, a few other teams.
• 39:54
  Speaker 41: But he was one of these guys you would want
• 39:57
  Speaker 41: on a team, and Lee and I talk about it
• 39:59
  Speaker 41: all the time, probably wouldn't make a team now because
• 40:01
  Speaker 41: he didn't have the home run numbers and the strikeout total.
• 40:04
  Speaker 41: He hit. 294 for a career, Tony, and never struck
• 40:08
  Speaker 41: out more than 70 times. You know, was one of
• 40:11
  Speaker 41: these guys who could play a lot of different positions. And,
• 40:14
  Speaker 41: you know, he was one of those guys, one of
• 40:16
  Speaker 41: my favorite kind of players.
• 40:17
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 40:18
  Speaker 41: Bip Roberts, 63 years old, born in Berkeley, California. Brad Radke, Tony,
• 40:23
  Speaker 41: the former Twins pitcher. I believe you and I saw
• 40:26
  Speaker 41: him pitch at Yankee Stadium.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 40:28
  Speaker 41: Back in the early 2000s. He had a good career,
• 40:30
  Speaker 41: 148 wins, made a few all-star teams. Brad Radke celebrates today.
• 40:37
  Speaker 41: And Martin Prado is another guy, Tony, like Bip Roberts.
• 40:41
  Speaker 41: You know, one of these guys could play a bunch
• 40:43
  Speaker 41: of different positions. 287 lifetime, played a lot of years
• 40:47
  Speaker 41: in Atlanta, then Miami toward the end, but never hit
• 40:50
  Speaker 41: home runs. But he never struck out and probably wouldn't
• 40:53
  Speaker 41: make a team now because he was fundamentally sound, right?
• 40:56
  Speaker 41: So he celebrates a birthday today. As far as NFL birthdays, Tony,
• 41:01
  Speaker 41: born on this day, 1928.
• 41:02
  Speaker 44: Kyle Roach.
• 41:05
  Speaker 43: Kyle Rote with the Giants, right?
• 41:07
  Speaker 41: Do you remember? Well, you wouldn't remember him playing, obviously,
• 41:09
  Speaker 41: but this guy, after his career was over, I remember
• 41:12
  Speaker 41: he got into a little broadcasting too, right?
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: He did, yeah. He was on NBC. You know, curiously,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: you mentioned that. I actually went to Kyle Rote at
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. I don't remember it. I was five years old.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I was in the bleachers. I was screaming my guts out.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go home, but that was his last
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: game as an active player, and then that was actually
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: kind of Gifford's, Frank Gifford's, His entree into broadcasting, I
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: had a Frank Gifford clip on the way in this
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: morning in the open.
• 41:42
  Speaker 41: Very similar player to Gifford.
• 41:44
  Speaker 43: He played end, halfback, could do a lot.
• 41:47
  Speaker 41: Of things on the football field. But he was born
• 41:49
  Speaker 41: on this day in 1928. Peerless price, Tony, a wide
• 41:55
  Speaker 41: receiver for the Buffalo Bills mostly. Had a good career,
• 41:58
  Speaker 41: over 5,000 yards receiving.
• 42:00
  Speaker 27: He turns 50 today.
• 42:03
  Speaker 41: Jim Leonard, former defensive back for the Jets and Buffalo Bills,
• 42:07
  Speaker 41: had a nice NFL career.
• 42:09
  Speaker 34: He's 44 today.
• 42:10
  Speaker 41: And John Casey, who kicked forever, Tony, with the Carolina Panthers,
• 42:15
  Speaker 41: he turns 57 today. On this date, Tony, this is
• 42:18
  Speaker 41: the big thing we're going to get to today. Well,
• 42:21
  Speaker 41: first of all, let's go back to 1963. This is
• 42:22
  Speaker 41: when Gordie Howe scored the 544th career goal of his
• 42:25
  Speaker 41: career today. against the Canadians. This tied Maurice Richard's all-time
• 42:35
  Speaker 41: record at the time, and that's been annihilated by Gretzky
• 42:39
  Speaker 41: and others by now. But that happened in 1963. 1985, Tony,
• 42:46
  Speaker 41: this is a familiar thing. The Yankee, Billy Martin was
• 42:48
  Speaker 41: fired for the fourth.
• 42:50
  Speaker 43: Time by the Yankees. You and I, every time we talk.
• 42:52
  Speaker 41: It's an anniversary of him getting fired.
• 42:54
  Speaker 27: That happened, say, in 1985.
• 42:55
  Speaker 41: But 86, Tony, is the big one. This is the
• 42:59
  Speaker 41: day the Mets won the World Series. They beat the
• 43:02
  Speaker 41: Red Sox 8-5. They won four games to three, Tony. Now,
• 43:06
  Speaker 41: this 86 team, I was doing a little research this morning, Tony.
• 43:10
  Speaker 41: They never got the credit. Obviously, they won the World
• 43:12
  Speaker 41: Series and everything, but I think a lot of people
• 43:14
  Speaker 41: still looked at them as, you know, the amazons, the underdogs. Well,
• 43:18
  Speaker 41: if you look at their roster, Tony, it was so
• 43:21
  Speaker 41: deep and balanced. I think they had, like, 11 guys
• 43:24
  Speaker 41: that drove in more than 40 runs. Obviously, they had Carter, Strawberry.
• 43:28
  Speaker 41: Fernandez but I mean the rest of that team they
• 43:31
  Speaker 41: were just the chemistry was incredible on that team and
• 43:34
  Speaker 41: during that game seven Tony you had four and a
• 43:37
  Speaker 41: third hit list innings thrown by Sid Fernandez and Jesse
• 43:42
  Speaker 41: Orozco and that kind of closed it out it was
• 43:44
  Speaker 41: a weird game you know McDowell who was their closer
• 43:47
  Speaker 41: came in and didn't have it so Dave Johnson took
• 43:51
  Speaker 41: control and just went with what he had and uh
• 43:53
  Speaker 41: but that team Tony what do you remember remember about them.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: To that team It was a lot of fun back then.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I remember Tim Tuffle because we had, of course,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: played against him. He was so much better than the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: rest of us. You just realized he was going to
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: go places. This kid was absolutely insane. But, you know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Davy Johnson, to me, never got the credit as a
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: great historical manager in baseball. He was ahead of his time.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: He was using computers and statistics and probability. He actually
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: was kind of like the– I guess they credit Billy
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Bean with the whole, you know, Billy Ball and percentages
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: and all that. But Davy Johnson was actually ahead of him.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: But speaking of getting ahead, my producer's cursing me out. So, Bob,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to end this. So where do
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: we see you? Where do we find you?
• 44:43
  Speaker 41: You could go on X, Tony. A lot of the
• 44:45
  Speaker 41: interviews and birthdays we mentioned will be posted there. That's
• 44:49
  Speaker 41: the best spot.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: That's great, Bob. Thanks so much.

• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Tony D'Angelo here on really the second to the last
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: of my temporary Tuesdays. And this is a segment you've
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: all come to know and love, making it hurt. And
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: it's the Power Hour with Professor Bob Swick. Bob, how
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: are you this morning? Hello, Bob. Hello, Bob.
• 50:58
  Speaker 27: Tony.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hi, Bob. And how are you this morning? Where
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: would you like to begin?
• 51:02
  Speaker 27: Okay, Tony. I want to get a little off script
• 51:07
  Speaker 27: because I'm overwhelmed with the Connecticut Citizens Assembly. And a
• 51:16
  Speaker 27: lot of people don't know that this was an assembly
• 51:19
  Speaker 27: created through the guidance of our comptroller, Sean Scanlon, to
• 51:26
  Speaker 27: discuss property tax relief in the state, revenue sources, property
• 51:32
  Speaker 27: tax increases, so on and so forth. And this group
• 51:36
  Speaker 27: of individuals, a hundred apparently random picked individuals, and I've
• 51:41
  Speaker 27: been looking at, I've been studying this from last night
• 51:43
  Speaker 27: to this morning, because they came out with a proposal
• 51:49
  Speaker 27: that they come up with some ideas for property tax relief,
• 51:54
  Speaker 27: so on and so forth. So Here was their proposal
• 51:58
  Speaker 27: that was issued a couple days ago, and I just
• 52:01
  Speaker 27: picked this up last night. I was shocked by it.
• 52:04
  Speaker 27: But they are going to recommend that state lawmakers consider
• 52:08
  Speaker 27: tolls and a new tax on wealthy people. Those wealthy
• 52:14
  Speaker 27: people are those people who earn $ 1 million or more
• 52:17
  Speaker 27: a year to bring around statewide property tax relief. Isn't
• 52:22
  Speaker 27: that amazing? Oh, yeah. So we have a situation where
• 52:29
  Speaker 27: we have what looked like to me, and reading some
• 52:32
  Speaker 27: of the people who are on this committee, including Sean Scanlon,
• 52:36
  Speaker 27: are the most liberal-thinking, woke-thinking individuals in the state who
• 52:44
  Speaker 27: can only surmise that the only way we're going to
• 52:48
  Speaker 27: do anything with property taxes in the state of Connecticut
• 52:51
  Speaker 27: is by just creating other taxes to support the property tax.
• 52:55
  Speaker 27: While the property tax, in theory, will go down, which
• 52:58
  Speaker 27: I don't think it will, it'll just be a new
• 53:00
  Speaker 27: revenue source for the state so that it can spend
• 53:03
  Speaker 27: more money at the same time. It's just mind-boggling to
• 53:08
  Speaker 27: just view the overstretch of government in so many different
• 53:15
  Speaker 27: ways of our lives and the overtaxation of individuals, of businesses,
• 53:21
  Speaker 27: and of the state It just defies logic. And to
• 53:24
  Speaker 27: tie in with your opening monologue this morning, which, you know,
• 53:27
  Speaker 27: people are aghast that the communists in New York City
• 53:33
  Speaker 27: would pass something like that. Well, that's what they're there for.
• 53:37
  Speaker 27: They want control of every aspect of the society, of
• 53:41
  Speaker 27: the economy. They will take care of themselves and the
• 53:44
  Speaker 27: people who are politically connected. They will take care of
• 53:48
  Speaker 27: the DSA people, so on and so forth, and you,
• 53:51
  Speaker 27: the worker, you're going to work for the state. You're
• 53:53
  Speaker 27: going to work for the city. You're going to work
• 53:54
  Speaker 27: for government. That's what the long-run goal is of socialism
• 54:00
  Speaker 27: and communism. That's it in plain English. So you have
• 54:05
  Speaker 27: a situation with this assembly, with this thought group that
• 54:08
  Speaker 27: is created to present a skewed view of what They
• 54:14
  Speaker 27: want to see in the state, okay, we need revenue.
• 54:16
  Speaker 27: We don't spend enough money in the state of Connecticut
• 54:18
  Speaker 27: for whatever reason. We do not spend enough money in
• 54:22
  Speaker 27: the state of Connecticut. We have the same problems over
• 54:24
  Speaker 27: and over again. We have $ 100 to $ 150 billion in
• 54:28
  Speaker 27: short and long-term debt, along with unfunded liabilities. But we
• 54:32
  Speaker 27: do not spend enough money on what? What are we
• 54:37
  Speaker 27: spending the money on, and what are the results we're getting?
• 54:39
  Speaker 27: It's something we've talked about for years now. It's no different.
• 54:43
  Speaker 27: So now, right before the election, this assembly comes up
• 54:46
  Speaker 27: with this idea, and I'm saying to myself, I would
• 54:50
  Speaker 27: like to run as far as humanly possible from this
• 54:54
  Speaker 27: state and from its commissions and its government and so
• 54:58
  Speaker 27: on and so forth, because it's just so out of
• 55:01
  Speaker 27: touch with any economic reality possible. It doesn't make sense whatsoever.
• 55:08
  Speaker 27: So again, we're going to have tolls. on the highways,
• 55:13
  Speaker 27: let's tax truckers a little more. So the cost of
• 55:17
  Speaker 27: our living was going to go up substantially. The property
• 55:20
  Speaker 27: tax relief is going to be nonexistent in a year
• 55:23
  Speaker 27: or two because they're going to have to raise taxes,
• 55:25
  Speaker 27: so on and so forth.
• 55:27
  Speaker 34: It's just so laughable.
• 55:29
  Speaker 27: Let's increase taxes on the wealthy and so let them
• 55:33
  Speaker 27: move out of the state as fast as possible because
• 55:35
  Speaker 27: they don't want to pay any more in taxes than
• 55:37
  Speaker 27: what they're paying now. It's just incredible, truly incredible.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: A little bit of historical background, if you will. When
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I saw that the Comptroller, Grand High Mystic, Exalted Brewer,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: and all the ships at sea was forming this group,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I actually went to him and I said, I would
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: like to be on it. And I know others would
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: like to be on it because, I mean, is it
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: not that we want the right answer? I don't think
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: any of us have all of the answers. I mean,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: the person that thinks he has all of the answers,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: walk as far away from him as you possibly can.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: And you know, some of them, and I know some
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: of them, uh, they're the ones that constantly point fingers
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: at us and say that we don't know what we're
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: talking about. That all said, uh, he said to me, uh, no, Tony,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: he was very polite to me. And he said, this
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: is a group that's formed entirely at random. Now I
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: might've struggled out of junior college statistics because I was
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: a Ripawam High School. I'm wearing the jacket today. My
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: Ripawam High School remedial math days. But yet, I recognized
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: one thing. When you have a probability of something, the
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: probability is that you have a.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: The outcome will not be all one thing. You're going
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to have smatterings of different opinions, perhaps smaller proportions and
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: larger proportions, and, and, and. If What Mr. Scanlon said
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: was truthful. This is the first time in human events
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: that a group randomly, randomly without any, shall we say,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: bid rigging or structuring, came out pretty much with this
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: harmonious conclusion of let us raise taxes that's probably a
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: better harmony than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This is unbelievable.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: And basically what it is, we've just proved this is
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: a freaking farce.
• 57:37
  Speaker 27: It's beyond a first. I mean, it's just utterly ridiculous.
• 57:43
  Speaker 27: And looking at the people who were supposedly randomly selected,
• 57:48
  Speaker 27: they weren't randomly selected.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Of course not.
• 57:50
  Speaker 27: It was a skewed result to get what they wanted
• 57:54
  Speaker 27: out of it. We want to get another tax source
• 57:57
  Speaker 27: of tax revenue. What else can be taxed in the
• 58:00
  Speaker 27: state of Connecticut? Well, tolls, tolls, tolls. That is the key.
• 58:05
  Speaker 27: You know, once you get tolls on the highway, you're
• 58:08
  Speaker 27: in great shape because the tolls will never go away,
• 58:11
  Speaker 27: the tolls will never go down, so on and so forth.
• 58:14
  Speaker 27: But again, there's no comprehension of the economic problems that
• 58:20
  Speaker 27: other taxes create in the state of Connecticut.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: None.
• 58:24
  Speaker 27: Everyone in the state of Connecticut who is in state government,
• 58:27
  Speaker 27: who's involved in the economy, should go back to school
• 58:30
  Speaker 27: and take a basic macroeconomics class and microeconomics class. And
• 58:34
  Speaker 27: understand what they are doing basically breaks the entire world
• 58:42
  Speaker 27: of economics in by increasing taxes resolves all the issues.
• 58:47
  Speaker 27: It has not done anything to resolve the issues in
• 58:49
  Speaker 27: the state of Connecticut. I go back to what I
• 58:52
  Speaker 27: said numerous times. Why does a state as small as
• 58:56
  Speaker 27: Connecticut spend as much money as it does? It's beyond comprehension.
• 59:01
  Speaker 27: Don't you think, and you do, and many other people
• 59:05
  Speaker 27: listening do, don't you feel, don't you think that the
• 59:08
  Speaker 27: state could cut spending somewhere, somehow, that there are ways
• 59:13
  Speaker 27: to cut spending and actually lower taxes to create economic
• 59:18
  Speaker 27: stimulation in the state? That is just a forbidden thought
• 59:22
  Speaker 27: in the state of Connecticut. That's a forbidden thought with
• 59:25
  Speaker 27: the Connecticut Democratic Party by all means. We want to
• 59:28
  Speaker 27: tax people. We want them to be happy paying taxes.
• 59:31
  Speaker 27: We want them to pay more taxes. We want to
• 59:34
  Speaker 27: spend more money. We want to resolve our political philosophy
• 59:38
  Speaker 27: so that it is cemented in the state that you're
• 59:42
  Speaker 27: going to listen to us. We run the state. Our
• 59:44
  Speaker 27: political cronies are taken care of, so on and so forth.
• 59:47
  Speaker 27: It's so ridiculous, it's not even funny.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: It is not a stretch of the imagination for the
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Citizens Assembly to somehow become a working group Shall we
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: say housing and affordability? And it is not a stretch
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: of the imagination. And people might say I have no imagination.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: It's not a stretch of even my limited imagination for
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: the same group to say, well, a very easy way to,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: quote unquote, fix housing and affordability. is to quote-unquote have this,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: as we discussed this morning, this right of first refusal
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: in housing. And anybody selling a building has got to
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: take this through a big brother in the holding company.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: And we will, of course, when we do that. Now,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: this is a thing, and I didn't consider this, but
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: you know the way government works. It's like, well, if
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I want to sell a building to you that meets
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: compliance codes and local codes and that, that, that, and
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: it passes title and here we go, the government inserting
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: itself saying is, well, We want to have other improvements here. Now,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: of course, we're good guys. We'll pay for them. You know,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: we want to make sure that we've got enough of
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: this or enough of that or perhaps your ramp isn't
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: big enough or perhaps you need more signage. It all
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: depends largely on what crony on what food chain needs
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: what job at what point once you get through all that.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: And so you sit in there six months, nine months,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: they get the stupid signs up yet that they get
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: the railings up yet. And, and, and, and, and this
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: is where this, I mean, I'm, I'm talking to you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: now and listen, I'm not spiritual, but, or I am
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: spiritual or I am whatever I am. I'm seeing where
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: this all leads to. This is like this whole thing
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: of the, you know, we will create a perpetual underclass
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: because they're calling themselves an underclass. I'm not calling them
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: an underclass. They're calling themselves an underclass. And we will
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: look for the moneyed people to support us. It does
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: not dawn on them that what happens if the moneyed
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: people say, screw you turkeys, I'm running out of town,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: eat it and suck on the fumes. Listen, please say something.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: I'm about to start cursing.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 27: Well, here, again, here's the issue that Connecticut taxpayers need
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 27: to wake up to. They need to resoundingly tell their
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 27: elected officials, both Democrat and Republican, and they need to,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 27: you know, Text them now, call them now, email them now,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 27: and just say, I am vehemently against this assembly work
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 27: of trying to raise taxes on wealthy people and raising
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 27: revenue through tolls. I am vehemently against it. I refuse
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 27: to accept this. And I think Connecticut taxpayers, again, need
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 27: to forcibly state that Increasing taxes does not do anything
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 27: for me anymore. It is not improving my quality of life,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 27: my way of life here. It's forcing me to make
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 27: economic decisions, which down the road are going to lead
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 27: to moving out of the state of Connecticut and moving
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 27: to a lower-tax state and having a better way of life,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 27: a better life for myself and my family, so on
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 27: and so forth. And I think Connecticut, again, depending on
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 27: the way this election runs, And I personally believe it's
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 27: a lot closer than what the media is trying to say.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 27: I really believe that it is a strong turning point
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 27: for the state that if you're going to go the
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 27: same way you're going to go along, good night. Because
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 27: you're going to have tax upon tax upon tax upon
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 27: higher tax. You're going to have increased spending. You're just
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 27: going to have just an economic free-for-all and an economic free-fall.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 27: As far as businesses are concerned, trying to move out
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 27: of state, so on and so forth. You know, taxpayers
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 27: and voters have got to really wake up to the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 27: economic consequences of an unchecked system that just believes in
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 27: tax and spend, tax and spend, tax and spend. It's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 27: not working. It's failing miserably. Get out of it as
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 27: a bottom feeder in so many different ways, it's not
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 27: even funny. This is just, you know, a classic example
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 27: of government overreach. And as you said, the next step is, okay,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 27: we've got to have housing affordability. I think your property
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 27: could be divided into two, the two acres you own,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 27: and I think one acre we could put some, you know,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 27: four or five closet huts, for example, or shell houses,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 27: and get some people there to live that are affordable.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 27: You don't need two acres. You don't need an acre.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 27: You don't need that property that was in your family
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 27: for 300 years, so on and so forth. You know,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 27: it's time to really wake up once.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 43: And for all.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: It's... And this is the thing. And, you know, in
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: the time we've been blessed to do this segment, multiple
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: thousands listen, multiple thousands watch on Rumble. We've got people
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: watching all over the country. Again, I wave to you.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you very much, sincerely. And it's telling
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: the truth. Now, that said. Every person wearing a Republican
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: uniform should be up screaming and yelling and assaulting this thing.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Wait until the show's over. Wait until 9 o'clock. But
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: this should be like job number one. Stop this mess.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Stop it now. You are wrestling the last vestiges of
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: private property. from the enfeebled property owners of, you know,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island. It's like, this is, I mean,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing this quote-unquote as a, you know, an initiative
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: from the, whatever you want to call it, the Mondami
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: playbook or the Alinsky playbook or the communist playbook, because
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: this is where they're headed. You have to do for
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: me because I can't do for myself. Of course I
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: can't do for myself. The only reason I can do
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: is if I tax you and tax you into oblivion,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Then I'm out of somebody's blood to suck, and then
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: we're Paris, France.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 27: Exactly. And I think the Democrats need to be called
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 27: out within the remaining days of the election.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Badly.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 42: Badly.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 27: They have to be called out, and they have to say,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 27: show me I'm a taxpayer, and I have probably 40%
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 27: to 50% of my income go to local, state, and
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 27: federal taxes. Show me locally and in the state. area
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 27: of taxation lamping, show me what I'm getting for my money.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 27: I don't feel safe because we have rampant crime in
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 27: the state. I don't feel safe at 10 o'clock at
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 27: night buying gas on the way home from my second
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 27: job because I'm worried about some thugs hijacking my car
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 27: and knowing afterwards that they've had probably 20 warrants out
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 27: for their arrest and they can't get these people. Show
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 27: me where my educational money is going on a local level.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 27: Show me how my children are getting an unbiased education
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 27: that's preparing themselves for a career, preparing themselves for the
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 27: real world.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 34: Show me this stuff.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 27: Please show me this stuff. If you're a Democrat, show
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 27: me where my money is going. Prove to me that
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 27: my taxes are actually doing something for my good, for
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 27: my betterment. I don't see it now. I really don't
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 27: see this. today in 2026 in the state of Connecticut whatsoever.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 27: I just think, again, it's basically, you know, do whatever
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 27: you want, spend whatever you want, tax whatever you want.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 27: We are the leaders. We are the leaders of the world.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 27: We are in charge. This utopian socialism that we're shoving
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 27: on everybody, shoving down everybody's throat is just, you know,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 27: the most wonderful thing in the world. It's ruining the state.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 27: It's ruining the tri-state area. Yes, it is.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: I can remember, this is going back 20 years ago,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: 25 years ago, back in the pre-computer networking days, and
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I had people, I had a lot of clients in
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: their 70s and their 80s who were living in their homes,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: paying their taxes, nice homes, and they maybe needed some updating.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: They'd put their kids through school. And they're paying these,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: you know, very, at the time, proportionally large income taxes.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: They'd say to me, Tony, why am I still paying
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: income taxes? Because I sent my kids to school. And
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I said, well, that's basically the thing is that everybody
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: contributes so you can have a good school system so
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: that when you go to sell your house, people will
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: want to come. Now, here I am. I'm approaching that
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: age perimeter. I'm saying, well, how much money have I
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: given upon for through the years? And I never sent
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: a kid to school. I'm not going to send a
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: kid to school. And I'm not in that income bracket,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that right now. But basically it's like
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: you want me to pay more for something I'm not receiving.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 27: And you're barely receiving fire service and police protection.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 27: And you're barely receiving any services from the town. So
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 27: how much more do you want to spend in property
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 27: taxes that you, basically have created this formula in the
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 27: state so that the local communities, cities, and towns can
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 27: continue to raise property taxes because, A, we can create
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 27: more governmental jobs, we can create a better pension system
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 27: for our local employees, we can do this, we can
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 27: do that. For us, Not so much for the town,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 27: but for us. And at what point does it break?
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 27: At what point does the local property tax owner say, hey,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 27: I've had enough. I'm done with this. I'm not paying
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 27: it anymore. That's what it comes down to. That's basically it.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 27: These things like the Citizens Assembly, which is such a joke,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 27: which is so pathetic of an attempt to steal more
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 27: money from the Connecticut taxpayer. It's just... It's just beyond belief.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 27: It's just beyond belief. And looking at the people on
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 27: this committee, there is a person who is the actual
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 27: cyber ambassador of Taiwan, an Audrey Tang. What in the
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 27: name of the Lord does she have anything to do
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 27: with property taxes in the state of Connecticut is beyond me.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 34: I mean, seriously.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll catch up with that. We're coming up
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: on a break. But I just want to tell you,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: in 90 minutes, in 90 minutes, we have given Republicans
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: two big tools in this toolbox. Number one, what is
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: the Democrat thinking about the right of first refusal? And
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: what the hell, guys, are you going to do? Are
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: you going to sit on your hands and watch the
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Citizens Assembly assemble? Anyways, Tony D'Angelo, 94.9 News and Stimulating.

  Speaker 53: Brought to you by Charter Oak Federal Credit Union, where
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 53: members bank better. All baseball season long this year, the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 53: Milwaukee Brewers made a point by winning games by scoring
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 53: a ton of runs without hitting a ton of home runs.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 53: In fact, they scored the second most runs in the
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 53: sport this year and hit the second fewest amount of
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 53: homers in the process. And last night in the fifth
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 53: inning of Game 3 of the World Series, they exploded
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 53: doing exactly that. The Brew Crew scored a World Series record.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 53: Eight runs with two outs during a fifth inning rally
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 53: last night. Burying Tampa with a 10-1 win and seizing
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 53: a 3-0 lead in the World Series. One victory away
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 53: from the first championship in Brewers history. And if Milwaukee
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 53: can get the job done tonight, they'll join the 1976
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 53: Big Red Machine Cincinnati Reds as the only teams to
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 53: sweep both the LCS and the World Series. With more

  Speaker 32: I'm Sean Murphy. Sunny skies today with a high around 65.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 32: Two workers suffered severe burns in an accidental steam discharge
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 32: at Griswold Products in Plainfield yesterday. One was airlifted to
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 32: a hospital while the other was treated and released. OSHA
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 32: and state officials are investigating. A person suffered serious injuries
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 32: yesterday after being run over by machinery near Providence Pike
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 32: in Putnam. An off-duty state trooper applied two tourniquets before
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 32: emergency crews arrived. The victim was airlifted to UMass Memorial
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 32: Medical Center. A new London man serving 65 years for
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 32: the 2018 stabbing death of his former partner is seeking
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 32: a 55-year sentence reduction. 50-year-old Christopher Petaway argued Monday that
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 32: his constitutional rights were violated during his trial.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 31: A judge will.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 32: Issue a written decision at a later date. A 43-year-old
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 32: Sterling man was arrested over the weekend after allegedly breaking
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 32: into a home and assaulting someone protected by a restraining order.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 32: State police used a canine to track down Douglas Berregard,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 32: who faces multiple charges, including home invasion and assaults. He
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 32: was held on a $ 100, 000 bond. Authorities are investigating the
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 32: death of 83-year-old Christopher Andrews, whose body was found along
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 32: the shoreline near Ram Island in Mystic Harbor. A vessel
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 32: was discovered adrift nearby around 10 a.m. The medical examiner
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 32: is working to determine the cause of death.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: I'm Sean Murphy.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 32: When news breaks, we break in.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: Back with the Power Hour 94.9 news and stimulating talk. D'Angelo, Swick,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: and Bob, my head is spinning. Take it anywhere you
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: want to go, man.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 27: I got another point I got to make with the assembly.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 27: I can't let this go this morning. It's just too
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 27: good for the– it just boggles my mind. Sean Scanlon
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 27: requested that they did not come out with this proposal
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 27: until after the elections. So one has to think, okay,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 27: we were going to just dump this after the election,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 27: and we could just push it through with no problem,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 27: no pushback or anything. So the timing of it was
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 27: supposed to be orchestrated by Sean Scanlon and his Democratic Party. Hey,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 27: we don't want to bring up new taxes before the election.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 27: Let's get elected first, and then we're going to have
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 27: smooth sailing for the next two and four years, raising
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 27: taxes and doing whatever we want in the states. Again,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 27: it is so utterly disgusting what these Democrats in the
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 27: state of Connecticut do to try to manipulate their government.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 27: They control their government. There's no other way to put it.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 27: They are in charge. You work for them. That's it.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 27: No questions asked. And to tie everything into what we
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 27: were going to talk about in the first half hour,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 27: which we didn't get to, Ned Lamont's tax returns were supposedly... uh...
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 27: issued uh... they were were shown to the media uh...
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 27: there was a uh... they they showed the first two
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 27: pages of each of the last four years of his
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 27: tax returns which show nothing does not show where any
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 27: of the investment income is coming from his dividends capital
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 27: gains or anything and we're supposed to just accept the
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 27: fact that okay he made a lot of money and
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 27: it's all right it's no big deal we don't need
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 27: to know anything more and again the state uh... State
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 27: voters do not have any answers whatsoever on all his
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 27: shell companies, all his Cayman Islands investments, FEMA force, so
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 27: on and so forth.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 34: And I can almost.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 27: Guarantee you, Tony, I can almost guarantee you a lot
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 27: of his profits were made from those shell companies and
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 27: from his investments, which were made with the blessings of
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 27: the state of Connecticut and Connecticut taxpayers' money. It's so disgusting,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 27: it's not even funny.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: Well, two things I'm going to mention. The first is
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: with respect to the Citizens Assembly. I mean, as we know,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: politicians in Connecticut lie like cheap carpet, Democrats especially. And
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: Sean Scanlon, who basically said that, you know, to your point,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do this until after the election.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: And obviously it's getting a little too close for comfort
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: in the race against Ryan Fazio because– It is very
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: convenient for these people to break promises. He did it
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: all the time. So what he did basically was send
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: up a happy balloon to his loopy-doopy base and say, hey,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: look at what we're going to do if we get elected.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: That's basically all that is. That's my first point. Now
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: the second point is with respect to the tax returns.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: If Ned Lamont were an honorable man, which in my
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: estimation he is not by any stretch of the imagination–
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: those returns would have gone up with the Schedule Bs
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: with are you in foreign countries and what are the
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: foreign countries and, and, and, and the sources of income
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: and every single thing that was there. And they would
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: have been up on X. They would have been up
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. You know, I mean, I've done disclosures. I
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: do disclosures as a part of what keeps my overexpensive
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: heating bill on the barn. And it's a very easy
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: thing to do. And we would all see it. They
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: deliberately kept it off of X. They deliberately kept it
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: off of people who knew what to look for. Instead,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: they put a very limited disclosure. I can only imagine
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: probably people in that room standing there with either bats
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: or guns. You can look, but don't get too close.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's necessarily bats or guns, but
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: you get this whole thing. And then you get a spokeslady.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: I believe her name is Lauren Gray. I've had a
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: couple of go-arounds with her. Like, oh, he's so incredibly transparent.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: He's the best transparent guy. Look at what he did.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: And I think the only reason they did it, Bob,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: is because you and I are here screaming our guts
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: out every single week saying, where are they?
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: Where are they?
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I think we ought to do this, right? Hey,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: we've got to look transparent. It's just like they are
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: so damn predictable. But that all said... If this is
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: going to be an honest to goodness, true disclosure, throw
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: it out there on Twitter. Let us see it. Throw
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: us the partial stuff, which you gave to your quote
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: unquote handpicked, you know, handmaiden. And let us comment on
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: that and what's there. Because after all, if you are
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: a transparent guy, what the hell are you hiding? And
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: then you write this puff piece. and these people cover
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: for you, and they write and say, well, this is
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: what's there, and isn't it great, and this is his income. Oh, okay,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: he's a wealthy guy. He can be a wealthy guy.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: That's not the issue. The issue is, and I say
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: this for anybody in government. I say this for the president,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: and I say this for whatever it is. Is your
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: governmental service causing you to profit personally, and or are
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: you unfairly leveraging– the systems of the state, or making
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: it so that you yourself or others in your family, cough, spit, barf,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: can otherwise profit. Here's another thing. I didn't mention this
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: in the open. If you talk about the socialization of
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: or the right of first refusal on apartment buildings, and
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: one of the Lamont equities is something called Unite Us.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: I've been through it on this show, and it was
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: set up inside of the Connecticut Hospital Association, of all things,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: on August 3rd of 2019. August 1st of 2019 was
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: the Cayman Islands Incorporation of $ 800 million of OKCFE. Gee,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: it's kind of, you know, nothing happened in here with
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: respect to this timing. But this whole equity is based on, quote-unquote,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: the social determinants of health, whatever that may mean. So
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, if we get our building, we get
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: everything that's there, what kind of services are going to
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: be sold into that building, from whom and where? Bob,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: it is not a stretch of the imagination. And how
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: can you sit on your hands and say, well, is
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: this where you're headed? What are you doing? Why are
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: you not doing that? To my knowledge, this hasn't happened
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: in Connecticut yet, but, man, this is where they're headed.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: Wow, man.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 27: I think it's coming one way or the other. And
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 27: to your point, as far as the lack of transparency
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 27: in this administration, it's mind-boggling. If he's not hiding something,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 27: I don't know what he's not hiding, because he is hiding.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 27: For him to do what he did, and to me
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 27: it was just utterly ridiculous, the way he showed his
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 27: tax returns. Okay, so there is not anything on the internet.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 27: It's scrubbed completely off the internet. All you get are
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 27: these little, you know, state-run media, basically public relation pieces,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 27: stating that he made this money, so on and so forth.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 27: And yet they have the law to condemn Fazio as
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 27: far as his income is concerned.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 57: What's going on here?
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 27: Why aren't the Republicans all over Lamont to say, hey, listen,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 27: point blank, did you make any money off the state
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 27: of Connecticut? We want to know, and if you're not
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 27: going to tell us, we're going to start really researching
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 27: this even more.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 51: Uh.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 27: closely than ever or higher independent investigators try to find
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 27: your sources of income and he won't fix disclosed get
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 27: public that's one for the poor why do i allow
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 27: him to to rip connecticut taxpayers off the way he
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 27: he has for years now it is ethically wrong it
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 27: shows his lack of transparency and it it just shows
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 27: how little respect he and his democratic party out for
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 27: the connecticut taxpayer at the connecticut voter For years.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 47: Now.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: He is a master at, quote-unquote, committing the sin, and
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: then when he is called on the sin, it's like, oh,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: that's nothing, that's small ball, or the time in the
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: picture he kissed the girl, basically, and it was a
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: dumb thing to do, and then people were, you know, oh,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: you harassed a woman, and he just laughed it off.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: If he were Andrew Cuomo, they would have thrown him
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: on the Cross Bronx Expressway, even Andrew Cuomo. And the
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: thing is, he always does this. And I was discussing
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: this last night with a young lady because she had
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: brought out to me some of the business of McKinsey.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: And McKinsey, as we know, we've been through on the show,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: multinational corporation, consulting firm. They were buried in advanced C.T.,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: calling the shots they were buried in for ct calling
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: the shots and and and and the thing is i
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: mean this is a major hired gun they're mercenaries it's
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: like give them the money they'll do anything you know
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: from the uighur genocide in in china to your corporation
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to develop a market they will create
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: a campaign for you and they will influence state legislatures
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: now We were led to believe during COVID that Ned
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Lamont was this wonderful guy who was keeping everybody safe,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: and he was the guy that was saving kinetic lives
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: over and over and over. And as that lie unraveled,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: and nobody wants to look at that. I want to
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: remind you of that, basically. And it's like he's always
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: pulling this crap, and they come and say, well, look
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: at him. He's just following his track record. Yeah, what's
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: his track record? Just lying? Serial larceny? I mean, come on.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 27: Yeah, exactly. I mean, why accept his lies over and
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 27: over again? And is anyone in the Republican Party tired
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 27: of it? Is any elected Republican official, besides a handful,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 27: that have questioned him about it? Why aren't they fighting
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 27: tooth and nail and saying, listen, Ben, this is not right.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 27: You're the governor. You know, you claim all this pompous.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 43: Pietistic, yeah.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 27: What a great state you're running in. And you have
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 27: the audacity, you have the audacity, you have no shame
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 27: whatsoever to lie straight to your teeth as far as
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 27: all these connections, investments, so on and so forth. If
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 27: you have nothing to hide, you come clean on it.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 27: As far as I'm concerned, as far as you're concerned,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 27: as far as many are concerned, these lying through his teeth,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 27: it needs to stop one way or the other. And again,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 27: as much as all the media continues to say, Oh,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 27: the gap is widening between Fazio and Lamont.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 43: No, I don't think it is.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 27: I think it's tightening up severely right now because they're realizing,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 27: a lot of people are catching on, that Ned Lamont
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 27: and his Connecticut Democratic Party are the problem of the
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 27: state of Connecticut. It's not the Republicans. It's the problem
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 27: of one party rule for years in and years out
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 27: damaging the economy of the state to a point of
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 27: almost no return. Again, reiterating. What's the plan to pay
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 27: off $ 100 to $ 150 billion in short and long-term debt
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 27: along with unfunded liability? What's the plan to cut spending
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 27: in the state of Connecticut? How about a citizens' assembly
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 27: of people who actually work for a living, have no
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 27: political ties, to figure out ways to cut spending in
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 27: the state? They'll be shocked to see what goes on
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 27: in the state budget.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: Which they don't want to show us. Basically, that's what
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: it is. And I think by definition, if I wanted
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: to hide something, I wouldn't show you everything. If I
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: didn't want to hide something, I'd show you everything. That's...
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, how difficult is that?
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 27: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 34: Exactly.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 27: And that's the problem. And again, you need concrete economic
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 27: solutions to get Connecticut out of the economic Armageddon it's in.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 27: And there's nothing being spoken about that anywhere.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: Anywhere.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 27: I don't hear anything. I don't see anything. I don't
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 27: see a coherent plan saying, okay... We've got a major
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 27: problem with unfunded liabilities. We have to address it immediately.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 27: We have a major problem with increasing our spending by
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 27: well over 400% as the fake population declines. We have
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 27: a serious problem with the amount of government employees we have.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 27: So on and so forth. There are issues in the
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 27: state of Connecticut economically that need to be resolved. There
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 27: are many social issues in the state of Connecticut that
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 27: need to be resolved. Number one, first and foremost, crime.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 27: Where you're not safe, you have to worry about being
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 27: shot at for pumping gas at night type of thing.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 27: It's ridiculous.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: And how can I put it? People offer solutions. You've
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: offered solutions longer than I have. Other people have offered solutions.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: And it's like, give us this, we'll give you that.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: The situation is dire. No one anywhere is taking us
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: up on it, basically. Now, the thing is, when you
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: do that, you can pretend one, two, or three things.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: Number one, you're not listening. Number two, you think it's laughable.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: I think if you think it's laughable, you deserve to
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: get your butt on this microphone and tell us why
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: it is laughable so perhaps maybe we can learn something.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: Or number three, you don't want to share with us
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: what the hell is going on because you're concerned about
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: something that you don't want to see found out. Bob,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: I'm back to that probability wheel. There ain't no other
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: place to go on it.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 27: Well, here's something that we saw this morning that I
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 27: think exemplifies the problems that we have in the state
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 27: of Connecticut. Sean Scanlon saying they should not have gone
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 27: out with this program that they developed And, you know,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 27: we wanted to hide it. That says it all to
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 27: me for the Democratic Party in the state of Connecticut.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 27: They don't wish to communicate. They don't want to be transparent.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 27: They don't want to tell the public what's going on.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 27: They're running their own little island there in Hartford. That's theirs.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 27: That's their domain. You don't enter it. You don't touch it.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 27: You don't find out about it. No FOIA about it. Anything.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 27: We are in control. And I'll tell you, Folks, voters,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 27: wake up. Just wake up to see what is going
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 27: on in the state. It's just mind-boggling that it has
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 27: been allowed to go this far for this long. It
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 27: cannot sustain it anymore.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: And I think in our closing moments together, I come
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: here and it's like, do people really realize that this
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: really is like the last chance saloon? We're not going
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: to– it'll be miraculous if we get another chance after
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: this to right the ship because once you have more
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: of these people with this kind of birdbrain mindset, it's
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: like I don't know where to turn at that point
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: because you have nowhere to turn, basically.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 27: And it's– And the only way you can turn at
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 27: that point, Tony, is something we talked about over the years.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 27: Connecticut taxpayers say, hey, I'm done. I'm not paying my taxes.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 27: We're going to defund our government, and that's it. Start fresh.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 27: You figure out what we're doing, and you figure out
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 27: why we're not paying our taxes. We've had enough. And unfortunately,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 27: I hope that never reaches that point, but it's something
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 27: to think about, because at some point, Connecticut taxpayers will say,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 27: that's it. I'm done. I'm not going to buy into
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 27: this garbage anymore.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that those that are involved in and
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, put it this way, you know, you need teachers,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: you need police, you need fire. I'm the first to
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: say that. But they need to realize that if there
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: isn't tax money to pay your salary, your salary is
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: not going to get paid. And you, too, will feel
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: the squeeze of you're not going to be able to
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: pay anything. Or perhaps you're a teacher. Your wife works
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: for a nonprofit. and the nonprofit doesn't get its funding
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: and or this, or it's part of the redundancy that
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: basically needs to end, you know, for just the fact
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: that it needs to end. And it's like, well, how
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: are you going to do it if the rest of
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: us can't do it to help you, basically? I mean,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: believe me, it'll keep me up at night when I
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: think about it.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 27: Well, that's what it's coming down to.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 43: You know, it is what it is.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 27: You know, at some point, the back breaks. The dam
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 27: burst and, you know, putting your little band-aid, Democratic band-aids
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 27: here and there to try to stop the flood is
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 27: not going to work anymore. That's what it comes down to.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: Voters, wake up.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 27: I mean, that's all I can say. Wake up.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got a week to do it, basically. And,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like now or never, and it's absolutely unbelievable.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: But I do want to leave this power hour saying
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: this man, Ned Lamont, who is the governor, is not forthright,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: is not forthcoming. is hiding something, because if he wasn't
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: hiding something, he would show us, you know, quote-unquote, what
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: he is showing only to a select few, and only
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: to a select few that basically, number one, ostensibly don't
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: know what they're looking at, and number two, they didn't
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: get to take anything out of the room. I mean,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: this is the kind of thing, I think, as you
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: said on Saturday, I mean, this would make Sammy Giancana blush,
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: for crying out loud. This is amazing.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 27: I agree with you 110%. I mean, it's just utterly ridiculous.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it's another power hour in the books. Tony D'Angelo
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: and Bob Swick. And, Bob, thank you so much. And

  Speaker 1: name is John Sanders. John is 81 years old. He
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: is from South Hamilton, Massachusetts, if I have that correctly.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: And John has led and leads a remarkable life. And

  Speaker 1: John has been blind pretty much his whole life. First
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: of all, John, good morning. Thank you for being here.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 42: Good morning, Tony. And it's an honor to have been
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 42: asked to... come on this morning to be interviewed.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 34: It's great.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: It really is. And finally, you know, you, you always
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: call the house and you're like, how are you guys doing?
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 19: How's everything?
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm, I'm so remiss. And, uh, you know, you,
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: you think of us every year and, uh, God, God
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: bless you for being you. I'm getting a lot of
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: questions about your life. And, um, I had a gentleman
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: asked me this morning about, uh, well, John has been
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: blind since birth. Um, How does he imagine red or
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: green or blue? Why don't you begin at the beginning,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: and we've got some time. We can have some fun.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 42: Well, I was born prematurely. I was supposed to be
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 42: born on September 7th, but I came along on July 19th.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 42: My mother, she'd driven to Boston and pick up a
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 42: few things at Jordan Marsh and Filene's down in that
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 42: part of town in Boston. A lot of you... People
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 42: who are my age can remember those two stores down
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 42: there on Washington Street, right downtown Boston. Well, while she
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 42: was picking up things, she thought, I've got to get
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 42: into a taxi cab because I'm beginning to feel contractions.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 42: So she went off to the Richardson wing of the
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 42: Mass General Hospital to notify her obstetrician that... Birth is
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 42: becoming early, and indeed it was. And so I was
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 42: born prematurely, and when my mother could not see any
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 42: eye-hand-eye coordination that was normal, she thought we'd better go
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 42: to the pediatrician and find out what's going on. And indeed,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 42: the pediatrician said that... Your son is blind with a
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 42: diagnosis of ROP, retinopathy of prematurity.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: And you have lived your wife. Now, as far as
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: your education, you had gone to the Perkins School.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 42: Yes, but before I get into that, I have... been
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 42: born with just light perception. So I could see no
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 42: colors and no faces, shapes, or mountains or anything like that.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 42: You know, just some light perception. Seeing fireworks and can
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 42: tell whether it's a sunny day or a cloudy day.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 42: And then I went to Perkins School for the Blind,
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 42: which was established back in the.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 8: 1830s.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 42: It's a school eight miles west of Boston at.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 42: Watertown, in Watertown, Massachusetts. And I entered school in 1950
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 42: in kindergarten. And I do remember something about that first day.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 42: I was there, and there were a lot of kids
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 42: in the main room of the dormitory where I was
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 42: supposed to live. You say dormitory. You don't have that
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 42: in public schools when you're going to school during the day.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 42: But at Perkins, we boarded During the week, parents would
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 42: say goodbye to us on Monday morning and pick us
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 42: up Friday afternoons. And a lot of people and I
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 42: eventually got into a carpool with two other families, and
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 42: parents shared the responsibility of driving many times over 20 miles.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 42: I lived in a town called Cohasset. It's a town
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 42: which is equally distant between Boston and Plymouth. on the
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 42: coast of Massachusetts, and that's where I grew up. And
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 42: commuted to Perkins, you know, 25 miles, 23 to 25
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 42: miles every week.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: Now, in the classroom, how many other students were there,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: and was there one teacher or a few teachers as
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: far as– teaching kids the basics, reading, writing, whatever history,
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: whatever was being taught? Was there one teacher? Was there
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: a bunch of teachers?
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 42: Well, K-6 grade was one teacher, a homeroom. We had
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 42: our classes in the homeroom for reading, English, math, that
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 42: kind of thing, whereas more and more we'd go out
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 42: for other classes, classes like shop or music classes to
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 42: other classrooms and other teachers that was started off with
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 42: just you know like hand crafts and shop and then
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 42: music and more and more as the grades went along
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 42: K through 6 but mostly it was a homeroom teacher
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 42: and the classes were 8 to 10 kids in each
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 42: class no more than 10 Interesting.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: Now, did you learn to play an instrument? Because I
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: know you sing.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 34: Yeah.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 42: I tried piano. That was not my strong point. And
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 42: no other real instruments, no. But singing in choruses was wonderful.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 42: We had great music teachers, and we learned a lot
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 42: of the old traditional things. songs, you know, like patriotic songs.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: We love those here.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 42: We love them here. To graduate from sixth to seventh grade,
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 42: we had to recite, for our music teacher, we had
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 42: to recite the four verses of America the Beautiful, four
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 42: verses of My Country, Tis of Thee, and two verses
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 42: of The Star-Spangled Banner.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I've already given somebody the honor
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: group of the day. I think I'm going to rip
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: the crown from him and give it to you, actually.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Now, you had tried law school, and it
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't for you.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 42: Yeah, yeah. I graduated from Perkins in 1965. I went,
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 42: you know, K through 12, right there, right through there
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 42: at Perkins. And went on to Dickinson College down in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 42: And it was interesting. When I got to Dickinson, I
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 42: was wondering, you know, the first day or two I
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 42: was there. It would be interesting to see how well
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 42: Perkins prepared me for this new experience of starting college
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 42: in 1965 in September. Because a lot of things were
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 42: going on, you know.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 27: Sure.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 42: Orientation to the classes, to the dormitory, to what life
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 42: would be like in the college, the fraternity rush, and this,
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 42: the whole, all of this kind of thing. And, uh,
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 42: Come to find, looking back on it, I found Perkins
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 42: prepared me very well socially and academically for a college experience.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: Now, it's interesting because you have done, and you found
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: this wasn't for you, and we're talking with John Sanders,
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: now retired, blind since birth. former principal of the Sanders
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: Christian Foundation. And you went, and this is where you
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: and I met, you went into a career of, uh,
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: sound recordings and you became, as far as I'm concerned,
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: you were probably the consummate broadcast historian. You remember people that,
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: you know, even somebody like me forgets or Bob Lazari forgets.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: He says, hi, by the way, he was on earlier.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 43: Oh, great.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he, um, And this was an incredible thing.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: And I've always, I mean, to give you a story,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: a personal story. Well, actually, let me ask you this
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: because my producer is going to throw a brick at me.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: If I were to give you a color, and this
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: is just a familiarity thing, red or green or blue
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: or orange, what is your concept of that?
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 42: Well, it's from what people say, like red is bright.
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 42: And black is dark. You know, like red would be
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 42: like a sunny day. Or I imagine black would be
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 42: like a cloudy day. Something like that.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: That's about what it is. It's amazing. But let me
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: tell you, I mean, we're sitting at a conference. We're
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: at the Heinz Center in Boston. And you were at
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: my table and, you know, your choir had sung and
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: you and I had gone over to listen to Chuck
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: Colson preach. You know, it's funny. Richard Nixon, at least
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: the AI version, has been my announcer on these shows.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: I always think of, like, the Hatchet Men. Colson was
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: actually a very good preacher. I enjoyed listening to him.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: And then you turned to me and said, well, I'm
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: going to go to the library. I said, would you
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: like me to get the car and we'll give you
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: a ride? And you said no, and you said I–
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: I will go and I will be back. And you
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: took your cane and you went to, you know, on
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: the mass transit in Boston and you came back, you know,
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: 45 minutes later. And I was like, I, I mean,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: that to me was amazing. I mean, I guess you've
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: developed a familiarity through the years, but John, I could
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: not do that myself with sight, but you did it like.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 42: Interesting. We were introduced to the cane in Perkins school and,
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 42: in second grade year, and the teacher said, imagine your
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 42: cane talking to you, and it will talk to you.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 42: And all of us laughed and thought, it doesn't say words.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 42: What does Ms. Bunton, our teacher, mean by that? And
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 42: she said, the cane will tell you whether you're going upstairs, downstairs,
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 42: or whether you're walking along feeling grass with the tip
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 42: of your cane, then you can feel the sidewalk cement.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 42: So it tells you just where, what you're negotiating with
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 42: the tip of a white cane, white guide cane that
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 42: blind folks use. It's lighter than a support cane, but
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 42: they are from four to six feet long, the various
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 42: heights of people that have it in front of you
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 42: and use it that way.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's an amazing thing. And, you know, and
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: and world events, I think we've spent the morning talking about,
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you and I have these discussions and we're
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: kind of in a situation right now. You know, I
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: know you guys in Massachusetts, us in Connecticut and the nation,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: I think in so many ways. We're I'm just very
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: concerned about what we would know is in Paris. If
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: you're looking at what's happening there, as far as you know,
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: Western civilization as we know it being there, regardless of
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: what you believe. I know you've been praying about that

  Speaker 1: and thinking about that and observing.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 27: Yes.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 42: Over my lifetime, I've seen a lot of change and
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 42: more division in our country. And there's more anger underneath.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 42: People were more friendly, I think, overall, back then. when
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 42: I was growing up than now. You hear it on
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 42: the radio, listening to talk programs. You hear it, you know,
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 42: when you meet people on the street as well.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: We don't want to discuss things anymore. You know, I
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: often say my normal or my usual guest for this
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: segment who's visiting his kids today is... The Honorable Judge
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: John Nazar, a retired judge. And the judge is, he's
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: sharp as a tack. He's, I love talking to him.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: We may not agree on every single point, but yet
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: we end every segment saying, you know, it's not the
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: case of the Democrat answer or the Republican answer. What
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: JFK said is let's get to the right answer. Since
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: we don't dialogue anymore, John, we don't get to the
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: right answer. And that just frustrates the, use your favorite,
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: word in there out of me. But it's, it's an
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: amazing thing. So these days you're retired and you're enjoying
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: life and a great career. What I did tell everybody,
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, please go ahead.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 42: Yeah, no, it's all right. What did you, what did
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 42: you tell everybody?
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I told everybody that you are this incredible, I
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: call you like an accidental historian and an accident. I
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: won't call you accidental because you're very studied and we've
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: had discussions of the great broadcasters of the past. And
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: would you mind if I threw a couple of historical
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: dates at you and you can tell me what was
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: happening in the world?
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 27: Okay.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 42: Here we go.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: July 12th, 1967.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 42: 1967 was a turbulent year. That's the year when the
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 42: American cities began to blow up. There was rioting in Detroit.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 42: There was a lot of anti-war. The Vietnam War was
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 42: at its height. And there was a lot of protest.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 42: And the cities, there was a lot of racial strife, too,
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 42: in America at that time.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the time that I think every single
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: city other than New York had riots. I'll do one
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: or two more. May 15th, 1985. I don't know what happened.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 42: On that date, but 1985, that's when we were going
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 42: into the Oliver North....
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: On or about, yeah. It might have been a little later.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 42: Ronald Reagan, his administration, yeah.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I really miss seeing Reagan. It's like whenever you
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: had that, whenever you looked at Reagan, you always felt
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: confident that things would be okay. I haven't had that
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: feeling in a while.
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 42: Well, he had a calming voice. He had a very
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 42: calming voice.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 42: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, he did. And then I was thinking, actually, I
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: was watching, And this is interesting. Of course, these days
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: you can get up on YouTube. And I was listening
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: to a radio broadcast of 1938. And what amazed me
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: was all of the announcers. You know, today people get
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: on radio and they're... And diction is... But, like, you know,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: listening to, like, Graham McNamee and John Charles Daly. And
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: the diction was so perfect. it's just a and I
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: and it was a time when people learned manners what
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: the heck is manners we don't know what that is anymore.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 43: Yes I know it's unbelievable and we.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 42: Learned manners at Perkins we certainly did meeting people and so.
• 2:08:18

  Speaker 43: You know, I'm doing pretty good.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 34: Did you watch the debate between Courtney and Austin last night?
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't, sir. I was preparing to do this show.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 43: You were going to bed early. What time did you
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 43: go to bed?
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 34: 7 o'clock?
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 1: It must have been about 9.30, believe it or not.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: But I was up half the night.
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 34: But I've been watching this cat, Joe Courtney, for quite
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 34: a while. According to him, he single-handedly... saved the sub base,
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 34: and created all of these jobs, which I don't know. Well,
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 34: that's a conversation for another day. But all I know
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 34: is that he looks like Joe Biden. He walks like
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 34: Joe Biden. He talks like Joe Biden.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 43: And he is the new Joe Biden, as far as
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 43: I'm concerned. Last night, he did do okay in the debates.
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 34: The debate was focused around subjects, affordability, because Connecticut is
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 34: just so unaffordable, and it starts with the government spending.
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 43: But no one ever seems to mention that.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 34: Then we have immigration problems, which are all self-manifestation of
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 34: bad rules and policies that keep flipping and flopping, depending
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 34: upon the groups that's in. Foreign policy, that's a nightmare. AI,
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 34: that's a big thing today. People are worried about taking over,
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 34: which if we don't kill ourselves, at least we'll have
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 34: AI to do it. And then flock cameras.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 43: People, you know, they love their cameras on their.
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 34: Phone, but if the police have flock cameras and they
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 34: can rewind and find and maybe solve.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 43: A crime, they don't want to do that.
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 34: So it was an interesting barrage of debates and topics.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 34: But 11 years, this is going to be Joe Courtney's
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 34: 11th term if he ends up winning.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 43: But I noticed that last night, you know, he wasn't
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 43: really on his game as he has in the past.
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 34: And we're going to play cut number one.
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 1: Mr. Producer, please.
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 12: Aimed at streamlining permitting processes that has stalled in the Senate.
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 1: What an oxymoron if you ever heard one.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 2: That's the opposite of what I said.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 47: But anyway, if I might.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 6: In that case, I forgot my.
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 1: Train of thought.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 34: I couldn't hear the tail words, but the tail words.
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 43: Say it all in that quote.
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 34: That he got it wrong.
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Interesting. I mean, people that know me know I'm
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 1: not a fan of the guy. I can't figure out
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 1: anything that he's really done. It's like you don't. hear
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 1: anything from him at all and he sends me a
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 1: friday email it's basically you know john him mugging it
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 1: up with some group with a big cardboard placard of
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 1: a check where he's handing out money basically and of
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: course you know to your point he uh mentions the
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 1: uh the sub base but basically i tell people well
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 1: listen thank god for donald trump and pete hagseth because
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 1: they're the ones that are funneling the money over there
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 1: so basically other than this guy showing up for photo
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 1: ops when and his general counsel just led me to
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 1: tears But what does he do? What does he do?
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 34: I don't know. And here's the thing about the sub-bays.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 34: The subs are great because you can move them around.
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 34: You build a ship, and if the target leaves the port,
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 34: the submarines.
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 43: You know, you can move them, you know, in the Bay.
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 34: Of Bermuda, or you can put them downtown. off the
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 34: coast of Cuba, wherever a hot spot is. And when
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 34: you have to launch a nuclear weapon, they don't know
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 34: where it is until the nuclear weapon is on.
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 43: The way to its target.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 34: So that's why subs are so popular. And we are
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 34: investing more money in them because they're a great stealth weapon.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 34: That's exactly what you want.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 1: What they are, yeah.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 43: So you have the Army.
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 34: The Navy, all of that. They're going to go after
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 34: weapons that they can move around and that the enemy
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 34: can't see and some of them. So they're hot. We're
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 34: going to build more of those than we're going to
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 34: build boats that are just clearly visible and easy picked
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 34: off targets. So, you know, now we happen to have
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 34: a sub base. We have one right here in Groton. And,
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 34: you know, we have electric boats. and they've been doing
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 34: it a long time.
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 43: So, of course, they're going to get the orders.
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 34: They're going to get the orders whether Joe Courtney is around.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 42: Or not around.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly, exactly.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 43: So that's my take on that.
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 34: And, you know, Courtney's had some challenges. You know, Mike
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 34: France came in there, but there was just something missing there,
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 34: and Mike tried really hard, and he's a great guy,
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 34: smart guy, but couldn't go over the edge with that.
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 34: Lori Hopkins Kavanaugh, she almost beat him. It was an
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 34: extremely close race. So they're not all that happy with him.
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 34: They can see through some of his stuff. But she's self-destructed,
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 34: like with her own party, just getting into a fight
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 34: with everybody in her party, saying she didn't get support.
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 34: Had that been a tighter campaign, and that's what we
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 34: find with a lot of these candidates. They never have
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 34: done this before. And I've been working with a few
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 34: of them to help them with their marketing, and they've
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 34: just never done it before, and they don't know what
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 34: to do. The Republicans need to run a workshop and
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 34: teach them, bring in the best from all over the country,
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 34: people that have won races, have changed things around in their.
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 43: Campaigns, how to do it, how to go from a
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 43: candidate that's barely.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 43: You know, getting votes to one that wins.
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 34: That's the problem with the Republicans in Connecticut. The other
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 34: problem is, Courtney has been there for 11, this will
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 34: be his 11th term.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 43: The national debt has gone.
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 34: From $ 2 trillion to $ 40 trillion, and he knows it.
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 34: He mentioned it last night, but there's no plan to
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 34: reverse it. There's no spending cut. None of these politicians...
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 34: talk about spending cuts, pulling things back, or doing anything
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 34: to stop this train out of control.
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 1: That's exactly my impression, John. He's always throwing money, and
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 1: I see his mug in the emails. It's like, what
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 1: have you done for me lately ever, if at all?
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 34: Right. He shows up at church groups. He shows up
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 34: at anything, but he really doesn't say anything. Kind of
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 34: brings it back to Joe Biden. Joe Biden would come up.
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 43: There in his little desk.
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 34: He'd sign a document. They'd go get him up. He'd
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 34: walk off the wrong side of the stage.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 43: And then two days later, you'd see him out on
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 43: the beach. And then, of course, there was this basement.
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 34: He had a full on campaign.
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 43: From his basement. Didn't have to leave.
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 34: Didn't have to really do anything. The cameras come on.
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 34: They go off. You know, they probably did several takes.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 43: To get it right.
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 34: Put a little makeup on here. And he was able to.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 34: to win the election.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 43: Sometimes doing nothing can get you something.
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oftentimes you profit by not doing anything. Now, I
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 1: am of the understanding you have more audio you'd like
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 1: to share?
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 43: Yeah, there's another cut. Let's play that one.
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 27: Okay, Mr.
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 1: Engineer, please. The engineer is busily working.
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 45: Yeah, I definitely see it as a problem.
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 4: By the way, you left out offshore wind in your
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 4: list there, which the.
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 45: Oh, you mentioned it.
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 27: Oh, did I?
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 42: I'm sorry.
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 27: No, it was there.
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: So, John, that was the audio.
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 51: Yeah.
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 34: Yeah.
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 43: I mean, he loses his place.
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 34: It's all things. You know, Joe Biden did it in
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 34: the early days of his dementia or whatever it is
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 34: that Joe Biden says.
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 43: They say he's still perfect and ready to run, but that's.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 34: Not the case. And you get that with Joe Biden.
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 34: His age did come up as a question from from
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 34: the panel.
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 43: And, you know, they always say the same thing.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 34: I'm fine.
• 2:28:49
  Speaker 43: I get the best health ever.
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 34: And all of that. Because, honestly, they just don't want
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 34: to give up the power. He sees this as 11 years,
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 34: 11 years strong on the second congressional district. We were
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 34: excited to bring the.
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 43: Debate on 94.9 News now from Connecticut College. They did
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 43: a great job with the audio and setting it up.
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 34: I thought it was well done.
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 43: Not everyone that wanted to get in could get in,
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 43: but you had to sign up for the debate beforehand.
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 34: But what we're noticing, too, is a lot of these debates,
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 34: they're not even allowing a lot of people to come in.
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 43: Sometimes it's just the candidate.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that to me is you kind of feel
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 1: like you're getting half a loaf. Anyway, as we're winding down,
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 1: any concluding comments, sir?
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 43: Well, I don't know.
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 34: I think we need to start printing up bumper stickers. And,
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 34: you know, they should be, Joe Courtney is the new
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 34: Joe Biden.
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 55: What do.
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: You think? Well, I think we've given a lot of
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 1: great initiatives on this show, and I think you just
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 1: put the cherry on the sundae, John. So, listen, thank you.
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in. And, you know, really appreciate all
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 1: you do for us and having the voice of freedom.

  Speaker 1: 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. It's amazing. The callers are
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 1: lining up. It's like Durante. Everybody wants to get into
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 1: the act. First up, Reed.
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 27: Hi, pal.
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 28: Tony, what a great job you did with your guests
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 28: covering the fiscal situation. And I could hear in the
• 2:33:14
  Speaker 28: tone of your voice how sad you are for the
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 28: state of Connecticut. And I am, too. I'm not a
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 28: lifetime resident here, but I've gotten to love it. And
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 28: it is such a mess. And the passion that was
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 28: in that discussion was fantastic. And it so happened there
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 28: was a serendipity going on because I was kind of
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 28: policing the area here as the sun was rising. And
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 28: the sun came through so brightly that I thought I
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 28: had left a light on. So I walked into the
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 28: living room to see if I could shut off the
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 28: light because I'm always trying to save a penny here
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 28: and a penny there. But it was just the sun
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 28: shining in. And that stupid event made me think of
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 28: the Broadway tune and the Broadway show, On a Clear
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 28: Day You Can See Forever. The sunrise here is just.
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 41: So beautiful today.
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 28: And I looked up Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane.
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 28: And I was thinking, did either of these guys have
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 28: religious backgrounds that inspired writing that wonderful musical? And really,
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 28: it was just the opposite. It was that Alan Jay
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 28: Lerner led what could really be described as a perfectly
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 28: sinful life, and he didn't get any assistance on that either.
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 28: It seemed he stumbled into situations that were very adverse,
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 28: and yet he kept producing all these things. He married
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 28: no less than eight times.
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, my Lord.
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 8: And.
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 28: You know, I was thinking of your father and his
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 28: career on Broadway, which you've told me about, and that's
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 28: a big influence on you and your interest in Broadway
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 28: shows and movies and stuff that you feature in 30
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 28: with Tony on YouTube. And I was thinking, did your
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 28: dad ever work at the Mark Hollinger Theater when that
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 28: show was running? It did an early stint in the 60s,
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 28: and then it did a revival later on, and then
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 28: the same thing happened in London. And it made me
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 28: think how you are really a classical old-time union Democrat
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 28: that we don't have in today's Democrat Party.
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 1: You tell me that.
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 28: The state of Connecticut is a sinking ship. And that
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 28: that's your background, and that would be a lot better
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 28: than the Republicans that we have running our state today. And,
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 28: you know, it just made me see this, and then
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 28: I thought, I'm also going to look up on the
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 28: search to see if On a Clear Day attracted anybody's
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 28: attention from the theological standpoint. It sure enough, it did.
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 28: And it led to numerous discussions about, you know, the
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 28: last days and how even Satan's time is short and
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 28: the Lord will return and he will lay down the law.
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 28: And so we've just got to be faithful in that.
• 2:36:10
  Speaker 34: And that's why I called.
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 28: I think you're doing a terrific job.
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you. You know, as far as what my
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 1: father worked on, if I live long enough, I will
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 1: get over to my vault, which is in Stratford, where
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 1: I packed things 25 years ago and some family things,
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 1: and I'll get out the program. Perhaps I can reconstruct
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: the history of where my dad was.
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 49: And I.
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 1: Recall a couple of stories here and there, but I
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 1: need to do a better job of that. Thank you, pal.
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Let's go to Jan, who I know has
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 1: been patiently waiting.
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 2: Hi, Jan.
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 57: Good morning, and I believe Barbara Streisand starred in the
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 57: show where Clear Day was featured on Broadway. I think so,
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 57: but I know she sang it. Excuse me. So to
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 57: follow up with John Fuller's call, I heard the debate
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 57: last night, and I was kind of holding my breath
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 57: and crossing my fingers. I thought that Joe Courtney was
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 57: going to eat George alive, and he did not. I mean, George,
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 57: what George had going for him there was he was
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 57: a little bit nervous, not nervous. You know, occasionally he
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 57: stumbled at his words, and he kind of acknowledged that.
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 57: But for the most part, he was very articulate, and
• 2:37:27
  Speaker 57: he had sincere answers. And it's really interesting watching we
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 57: debate Martha and George debate Courtney, when you've got these cynical,
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 57: you know, look, I brought you some candy, little kid.
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 57: Come on over here. Eat this candy. To the voters,
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 57: I'm going to give you something. Oh, yeah, by the way,
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 57: I stole it out of your house, but that's okay.
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 57: And people who just answer a question very, very honestly.
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 57: So it was very refreshing. And the questions were not
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 57: gotcha questions. They were policy questions. So I enjoyed that.
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 57: But I think one of the important things that George
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 57: said is when you're talking about all the financial problems
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 57: that we have, And Congress, the House is supposed to
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 57: make a budget. And that's the problem we have with spending.
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 57: You can talk about spending, but without a budget, how
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 57: are we going to get it under control? And there
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 57: hasn't been a budget for decades. And he hit over
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 57: and over, very politely, though, very polite, that Courtney's been
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 57: in long enough, it's time to go home. And you
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 57: could hear Courtney got annoyed.
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and, you know, the thing is people look at
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 1: Rosa DeLauro and they say, why is she still there?
• 2:38:50
  Speaker 1: She's an idiot, the purple hair, da-da-da-da-da. She is on
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 1: appropriations in Congress, to your point, and she's there with
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of other bats known as Nancy and Debbie,
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 1: and they hand out money for things that they think
• 2:39:03
  Speaker 1: are important, and they still pull a lot of weight
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 1: whether they're in power or not, and it's a shame.
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 1: It's not controlling the budget. It's who can I throw
• 2:39:10
  Speaker 1: money at? And, of course, Rosa's a master of, like,
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 1: She lets her staff do the work. Again, she pays
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 1: her staff while they hate her guts. And she lets
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 1: her staff do the work, and she comes in at
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 1: the end, and she cries poverty and Trump and poor
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 1: mouth and all this other stuff. I'd like to get
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 1: to one more caller.
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 49: Okay, thank you.
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you. And then we've got Jimmy from Lisbon who's
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 1: going to take us home.
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 25: Hey, Jim.
• 2:39:33
  Speaker 36: Good morning.
• 2:39:35
  Speaker 49: Good to talk to you, Tony, but I'll keep it quick.
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 49: I think the most important thing that George said in
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 49: that debate yesterday was, Joe has not won one single
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 49: contract for the submarine. The workers at EB for years
• 2:39:51
  Speaker 49: and years have no contract.
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 1: It's amazing to sit there and thrust out your chest
• 2:40:02
  Speaker 1: and say, look at what I've done. And basically... You know,
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 1: you're not doing anything. You're just sitting there and you're
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 1: delivering out the money and taking credit for it. And, Jim,
• 2:40:10
  Speaker 1: let me tell you, nothing bothers me more than that.
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 1: There's nothing that it's just I just can't deal with phoniness.
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 1: And it's just that that that isn't the act of
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 1: pure phoniness, at least to me and in my brain
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 1: or what's left of it.
• 2:40:26
  Speaker 49: It wouldn't kill him to credit the workers. That have
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 49: done the job that won the contract.
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 1: For years and years and years. And, you know, I
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 1: do not see the benefit for this region other than
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 1: the fact that he's handing out what's been appropriated to him.
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 1: Anything else? We've got about a minute.
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 43: Oh, man.
• 2:40:46
  Speaker 49: I want people to pray, Tony.
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 34: We've got to pray.
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 49: This might be the last election we get to vote in.
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 1: That's what we've been talking about all morning.
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 1: You and me, and we heard it at the beginning,
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 1: and we're going to hear it now. Jim, thanks so much.
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 1: God bless. 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. I thoroughly enjoy it.
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 1: We won't have a joke today because I wanted to
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 1: allow time for the callers. But this has really been,
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 1: I think, an incredibly great show, at least for me.
• 2:41:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you liked it or not, but
• 2:41:19
  Speaker 1: I did. Special thanks, Bob Lazeri, Bob Swick and the
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 1: Power Hour. The incomparable John Sanders, John Fuller, and all
• 2:41:28
  Speaker 1: the great callers. Last of my Temporary Tuesdays coming up
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 1: next week, and that's game day, people. Pray, vote, and
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 1: as more than one, two, or three people have said,
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 1: America is on the ballot this coming week. God bless you, everybody.
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 1: Have a great day. Enjoyed being here.
