  Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of the Lee Elsie Show. It is October 13th.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's not Triska Decaphobia because it's not a Friday, but.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: We don't need Triska Decaphobia here.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: But since it's the next three and you belong to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: me and since I need all the help I can
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: get and so do we all, we're going to pray first.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, we come before you with humble hearts asking
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: for your mercy and your peace in this uncertain hour.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We lift up the leaders of our nation and leaders
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: around the world. Grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: courage to do what is right, and discernment that may
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: prevent needless suffering. Guide every decision with justice, restraint, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a desire for peace. Lord, we pray for the brave
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: men and women of our military and our police officers, firefighters, paramedics,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and all first responders, including the officers of ICE. Surround
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: them with your protection. Strengthen them for the difficult days ahead.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Comfort their families and bring.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Them safely home.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Lord, we pray this same prayer for all the ordinary
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: working people out there today at risk to support their
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: loved ones.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Bring them safely home in the comfort of their families
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: too tonight, Lord.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: We ask you to watch over our country, unite us
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: in purpose, calm our fears, and remind us that our ultimate.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Hope is found in you alone.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: May your peace rule in our hearts, your truth guide
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: our nation, and your hand of protection rest upon the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: United States of America.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' holy name we pray, amen. And good morning.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And it's Tony and Fuli on this Tuesday the 13th.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: What I'd like to open with is something that is
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: troubling me.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I always come here with something that's troubling me.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I've got to talk to somebody, so I'm going to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: talk to all you guys.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And if I were to give this a title, I
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: would call this, We Just.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Can't Be Stupid Anymore, and We Can't Be Blind Anymore,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and We Just Can't Pretend That Things Just Aren't Happening.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And because they are.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Reading in the excellent Connecticut Sentinel, there is a great
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: article last week. The Working Families Party, a very left-leaning organization,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: if you've never heard of them, they sent out an
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: email celebrating primary wins that dealt a direct blow to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the legislators, the Connecticut legislature's more moderate Democrat caucus. These
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: were Democrats who sometimes pushed back on aggressive housing, labor,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: or spending bills, you know, in those vague moments of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: sanity or.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: However it worked. Now, there is a guide that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Is written for all these people.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: They shared it with me. I'm happy to share it
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: with you if you want a copy of it. It
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: goes on for about 32 pages and it is incredibly,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: incredibly precise. What they do is they work on concepts
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and buzzwords and Repetition and deflecting the issue. If you've
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: ever watched Abdul Al-Sayed, who was running for the Senate
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in Michigan. Zohra Mondami, same thing. They are masters at deflection.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: They are masters at not handling the direct question and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: making it to, how dare you ask me such a.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Nonsense question. There's much more important things at hand. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: so they work and they drill and they drill and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: they drill.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And what they do is they appeal to the, shall
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: we say, I can't really think of another word, sort
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of the lowest common denominator of where everybody's at.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Things are too expensive. Things are too high.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Do you see what these people are doing to you?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that are going to get everything. You're
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: not going to get anything. If you go with me,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you're going to get health care for all. You're going
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to get housing and you're going to get all these
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: things as a human right. And What they're doing successfully
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that Republicans, sorry, are not doing at all is they're
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: not doing anything dumb.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: They're not doing anything trite or humorous where you're not
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: really funny.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: They're hitting people where it's at. So somebody sits there
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and says, yeah, you know, you didn't have it as well.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You had it a lot better under Joe Biden. Well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I probably don't remember that. Oh, yeah, I guess I did, right? Yeah, well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: what are you going to do for me? You're going
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to do all this stuff for me?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Great, I'm going to.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Vote for you.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And basically... The buzzwords that they're using is it's all
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: about monopolies.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: It's all about taxing the rich and rejecting corporate PAC money.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And it's this whole thing of we are the.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: People, and the only hope you have is to go
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: with what we are doing because the system is so
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: horribly stacked against you that you will never do anything.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You will never get there. Now, personally, okay, personally, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: find that offensive.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: There is nothing... in the United States of America.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: There is nothing in my book, what I believe in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Bible, that tells me I'm limited.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: My limits are up to me.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I do not want some political idiot coming to me
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and telling me that I'm limited. He can shut the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: blank up as far as I'm concerned. That's what they're doing.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And they're far better messengers than Republicans are, and they're
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: working it. Meanwhile, Back to the jungle. What do we
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hear from Republicans? Do they see this evil? Do they
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: see this mind game? Do they see this drill over
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and over and over? I'm watching Bernie Sanders. He was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in Maine. He was campaigning for the Senate candidate there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I think his name is Jackson, if I'm not mistaken.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And He's just drilling people saying, if you were over
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in Canada, if you just were, you know, 300 miles north,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: everything would be fine for you.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And how come they can do it and how come
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: we can't do it with respect to health care?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: What he's not telling you is try getting kidney dialysis
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in Canada. I had Canadian clients, you know, blessedly most
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of them had passed on. They were wonderful people or
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they were dual citizens or whatever the case may be.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: The only hope they had to any kind.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Of medical care in Canada was what they called the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Cadillac Plan.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: If you could plunk down money, you were taken care
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of great because the system was starving. The providers were desperate, okay?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's what it is. They don't tell you any of that. But,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: of course, they don't. They're liars. But when it comes
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: down to it is.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: We hear from Republicans, you know, taxes are too high.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: They are high costs and unaffordability. And yesterday I was
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: watching the clip of Ryan Fazio on, I believe it
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: was CNBC, and was saying that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Affordability is the biggest issue in Connecticut.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And then I thought to myself, I said, yes, affordability matters.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: If you want to say it's the biggest issue, that's fine.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: But things immediately become more affordable if income increases.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It's not hard to conceive of that. And then the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: other thing really is, how can I put it? If
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you're going to increase income, you've got to.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Pull out every single thing you can do in order
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to increase income and become business-friendly. talk to any business
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: person long, you know, long the strip out here and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: led you to wherever you.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Want to go.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And just, uh, I don't have a survey and walk
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: up to him and say, is Connecticut a business friendly state?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, see what you're going to get basically.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And it's that if something like that is not done,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: if that economic parallel is not brightly woven, um, We're
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in for it, folks.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: We are terribly in for it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And the other thing, and I mean, I say this
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in observation to Mr.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Fazio, not in criticism. How the hell are you going
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to get businesses here?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And the whole state's completely disavowing the Qualified Opportunity Zones 2.0.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It is an absolute no-brainer. Bring people here.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Bring them into an opportunity zone. I mean, what the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: hell have you got to lose?
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Nothing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Nothing.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Do we ever hear about it? No, because why? That's OBBBA.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: That's Trump. That's evil.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: That's, you know, if you're watching this, I'm doing my
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: first wife's vampire cross my fingers.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But that being as it is.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Why I'm saying this, it's not in as much as
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to criticize the effort as it is.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Look at what they're doing on the other side. They
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: are assailing everything.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And to say, well, okay, you know, we can have
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: our taxes lower and utility, but that's all good.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it's not enough.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: The people who are over there, who are pushing farther
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to the left, Al-Sayed, the... You know, Tallarico in Texas.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: God help us if the Senate changes. That's all I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: can tell you. But these people basically are, they don't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: care about anything.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: They think that tax dollars.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And taxing the rich, wait, hang around after 630. I'm
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: going to play you a tape that's going to blow
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: your mind.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: But anyway.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: It's that this whole thing is they just think that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you need to do it. If you lose the taxpayers,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: another thing I was looking at, part of the same thing. Well,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: let's just tax the rich. Let's just tax the billionaires.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many billionaires we've got in Connecticut.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I hear eight.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I hear 12. I hear 15.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are billionaires with. wealth that aren't necessarily earning.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: But if we lost those billionaires, what you're really looking at,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: forget about any sort of pension, shall I say, equanimity
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: or funding the deficit or anything like that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: It ain't going to happen.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And not only that, education spending, bye-bye. You know, as
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: far as public safety spending, bye-bye. What is going to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: keep these people here? Oh, yeah, it is your social
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: good that you should pay more taxes. What they don't
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: understand is that the mindset of, I'll use the great
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Colonel Simmons from the Demokami, is that there should be
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: no billionaire.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: There should be no millionaire. Everybody should be equal.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And I mean, if there should be no billionaire, what
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: are you going to do with.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: The billions of dollars in taxes they're paying if you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: lose them? These people have no affinity to Connecticut. They
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: have none whatsoever.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And when they pass on, or if you overtax them,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: do you think their kids are going to be here?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You think your kids are going to say, oh, dear nutmeg,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I just love this place. No, they are going to
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: get out of here faster than you can imagine. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: this is the whole thing.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And my fundamental point here is that if Republicans.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Cannot shape the economic narrative.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And message better to say, look, this isn't about higher
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: electric bills.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: This isn't about a tax cut. This is about something
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: more than that. If you keep thinking that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: These people can save you in any single thing you do,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You won't be able to stay in your home. You know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: your kids may not have a school because they have
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: no sense whatsoever. They have no sense of reason. They
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: have no sense of logic. They have no sense.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: They never made anything. They never made anything. They never
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: built anything.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Just about all of them were either employed in the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: legislature or somehow publicly employed with the tax dollar. You
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: never made one open dollar in the system. How can
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you tell me about how the system works?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: It's impossible.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's like me telling a jet fighter how to fly
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: in a jet airplane.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. But that's really the fundamental thing
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: here that I want to tell you. And this is
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. This has real consequences. I was doing
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: this yesterday. We lost Stanley Black and Decker.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Of course, everybody ran away from the train wreck and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: pointed fingers and how did this happen and blah, blah, blah. And,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you know, we will continue to fund the Department of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Economic and Community Development, the biggest snake oil organization in
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the world. It's like we're going to save things. We're
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: going to make things better. The latest thing, if you
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: watched past Thursday's 30 with Tony, we went over Quantum CT.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: $ 121 million so people can have science projects, and they're
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: going to do quantum computing.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And it's like, this is going to be, we're going.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: To have Quantum Alley, and this is going to be wonderful.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: If this is so wonderful, why don't I have a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: share of stock in it?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a Connecticut resident. where's the investment how is that
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: going to benefit me.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And it's that if that doesn't work we're going to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: do something else you know all the way from it's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the snake oil salesman comes in with the same snake
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: oil maybe a little different color bottle and all of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a sudden things are going to be wonderful there's no
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: connect on that whatsoever and the fact of the matter
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: is if you think this is economics and unending public
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: spending you if you're a republican you are as economically
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: clueless as that democrat and that's a shame but that's.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Really the.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this because I dislike you or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I hate.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: You or anything.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand what this is. And I
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: don't know what else I can do. I don't know
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: what else I can do other than tell you as
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: best as I can. And the problem is, and I'll
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: leave you with this before we jump off for the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: half hour, is I really think a lot of this
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: economic phobia, if you will, or this economic thing.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Of grasping things is... Like we'll probably talk.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: About baby bonds a little bit and Trump accounts and
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: things like that. It's like, well, it somehow associates things
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: with Donald Trump and we can't talk about Donald Trump.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is evil. Donald Trump is bad. He's this
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and that, whatever. Look, I'm not Donald Trump's moral arbiter,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: but what I submit to you is this. Donald Trump
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is not the problem.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: You're making him the problem. And that's really, and there's
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a big difference. And if you don't understand.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That, perhaps when we have more time, I'll do my
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: best to explain it to you. Anyway, I think we're
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: going to be jumping off for the half hour. Tony D'Angelo, 94.9

  Speaker 1: Remember I told you Tony D'Angelo and for the LC 94.9
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: News and Stimulating Talk that you had to get out
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: to those events in September because they were going to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: start winding up for the bad weather. I've only got
• 24:38

• 24:42
  Speaker 1: which is We'll be in Hartford October 24th, 2026. The

• 25:09
  Speaker 1: one word, warcher at E-S-R-E-C dot org.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Anyway, thanks for being here.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: One of the things I wanted to clarify in the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: open with Stanley Black and Decker not being here is
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: that Stanley Black and Decker went to somewhere where they
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: used the benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry you spilled your coffee.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And Really, when they did that, they took away $ 300
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: million of economic activity with them. Now, count one, count two,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: count three. Think of if you had a few of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: those as opposed to having nothing. This is really my
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: fundamental point, which I'm trying to tell you. Where's it
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: going to come from if it doesn't come from someplace else?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: That's basically it.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: But anyway, what I want you to do, I want
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you to listen to this tape that my very patient engineer,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: will be playing. This is a group of women at
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: an Abdul Al-Sayed rally, if you will. These are women
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: about my age, my wife's age, you know, give or take, and,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you know, highly educated and very sweet and very attractive.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Listen to what you hear. Mr.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Engineer, would you please?
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: I'm here interviewing people.
• 26:26
  Speaker 31: You guys look like big Abdul supporters.
• 26:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: Tell me what you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 31: Guys are super excited about. What's your favorite thing he's
• 26:34
  Speaker 31: campaigning on?
• 26:37
  Speaker 32: Everything.
• 26:37
  Speaker 33: How can you not like what he's for?
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's like we need it. We're in bad shape.
• 26:45
  Speaker 31: What's your one favorite, though, what stands out the most?
• 26:49
  Speaker 31: Health care for all.
• 26:50
  Speaker 19: Okay.
• 26:51
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 34: That's my health care.
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 26:57
  Speaker 31: And how are we going to give health care to everyone?
• 27:00
  Speaker 31: How are we going to pay for that?
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: We're going to tax the rich.
• 27:04
  Speaker 28: Okay.
• 27:05
  Speaker 31: How much are we going to tax them?
• 27:08
  Speaker 35: It's cheaper than a war.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I don't like war. No, no war, please.
• 27:14
  Speaker 24: Yeah.
• 27:14
  Speaker 34: Way cheaper than a war.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 31: So we want to take all the money that we're
• 27:17
  Speaker 31: putting into wars and military and put it toward health care?
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: Yes, exactly.
• 27:21
  Speaker 35: Exactly.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: That's what every other country does.
• 27:24
  Speaker 36: That's what every other country does.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Helping the most fortunate. It's a lot of hungry people.
• 27:31
  Speaker 34: I wish I had all my extra sweatshirts in my
• 27:33
  Speaker 34: car driving down here and I could have handed them
• 27:35
  Speaker 34: out to people on the street that looked cold and
• 27:39
  Speaker 34: it breaks my heart every time I drive down here.
• 27:41
  Speaker 31: It just breaks my heart. What does taxing the rich, though,
• 27:45
  Speaker 31: got to do with where the government's sending our money
• 27:48
  Speaker 31: toward war?
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: Oh, no, we love those people.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: The rich are buying all the people that are running
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: the show.
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: And it ain't good. Like who?
• 28:02
  Speaker 24: Like who?
• 28:04
  Speaker 21: Who specifically?
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: Who should we target?
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: All these people that have, you know, these.
• 28:11
  Speaker 25: Businesses that are standing around the president in these press.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Conferences, you know.
• 28:16
  Speaker 32: Oh, okay.
• 28:16
  Speaker 31: All righty.
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: All these people.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: This, ladies and gentlemen, needs no explanation.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: As Howard Cosell would say, it unfortunately speaks for itself.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: So what I'm going to do is I'm not going
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to tell you my impressions. I'm going to give you
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the impressions of one Spencer Pratt. You know, Spencer Pratt,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: he ran for mayor of Los Angeles, really the best
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: campaigner in history.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, the man knows something.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: OK, he knows something about How this all plays together.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to read.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: His statement that he put on X. And there's a
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: video clip to this too, which actually is worse if
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you're watching this visually. What's terrifying about this clip isn't
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: their ideas. These sweet gals' hearts are certainly in the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: right place. What's terrifying... is they have the civic, political,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and economic literacy of a nine-year-old. When a charlatan like
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Abdul comes along with their junior high class president schtick
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: of no more homework and the vending machines are all free,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: they fall for it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you get to that age with zero.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Understanding of supply chains, manufacturing, labor costs, but a lot
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: of folks think that medicine and MRIs and hospitals just
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: materialize out of thin air like blank.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: They never built anything in their lives, so they have.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: No concept of how things function. Things are just there.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: They think milk comes from the store. They think rich
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: people don't pay taxes. Even though the top 1% fund
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: 40% of government.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: With their taxes already.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: And yet 40% of all Americans contribute zero federal income
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: tax at all. These people don't understand that you can
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: tax the wealthy at 100% and it would only fund
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the government for 120 days. Then you're screwed. Too many
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Americans simply have zero understanding of how anything works, and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: even though they're living in the easiest times in human history,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: they think things are terrible out there. These commie scammers
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: roll through, and promise them things that sound great but
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: aren't possible in reality and have devastating consequences if tried,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: but because they don't know anything, they fall for it. Sadly,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: so many of our politicians and their advisors are such
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: atrocious communicators, they're like zero countervailing narrative to push back
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: on the commie gobbledygook, so.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: We're going to have to learn the hard way. In conclusion, guys,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: we just had a sample of socialism, COVID.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: We all got universal basic income, and it ended up
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: tripling our costs, and they'll never go down, ever. That
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: one brief little experiment in command and control government will
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: haunt us the rest of our lives. Bleak stuff, man.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: And that's basically Mr. Pratt told you in much more
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: clear terms everything that I had attempted.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: To tell you in the beginning.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And the biggest problem as far as I'm concerned is
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: these are the people that populate your state legislatures. And
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: people who are opposed to these people really have maybe a.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Little bit more economic sense, but not much.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's what that mindset is proposing is entirely
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: economically unsustainable. If we taxed all the billionaires 100%, we'd
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: get three months out of it, and then what? And
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it's never, ever, ever worked. And that's basically really the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: message that I want you to... If you're not going
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to take anything from this show, at least take that. Anyway,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: they're going to take me off the air in a moment.

  Speaker 2: Bob, how are you, pal?
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: I'm good, Tony.
• 37:54
  Speaker 38: How are you?
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, thanks. And where are we going today?
• 37:56
  Speaker 38: Well, Tony, let's do a little historical stuff first. Very
• 38:00
  Speaker 38: historical day in baseball, Tony. 1960 World Series on this date.
• 38:05
  Speaker 38: That's when Bill Mazeroski, Tony, hit the home run in
• 38:08
  Speaker 38: the bottom of the ninth at Forbes Field to beat
• 38:12
  Speaker 38: the Yankees 10-9. And that was the deciding game. If
• 38:16
  Speaker 38: you remember, Tony, the Yankees, Bobby Richardson was the MVP
• 38:19
  Speaker 38: of that series, even in the losing cause. You and
• 38:22
  Speaker 38: I have had a chance to talk. to Bobby, and
• 38:25
  Speaker 38: was there a better, nicer guy than we've ever seen?
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, what a gentleman. So kind, so patient.
• 38:31
  Speaker 38: Had a great career after that, right, Tony? Coaching college
• 38:33
  Speaker 38: and things like that.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: He sure did.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: He sure did.
• 38:35
  Speaker 38: But that was in 1960 on this day, Tony. Very
• 38:38
  Speaker 38: memorable day. On this day in 1967, Tony, the first
• 38:43
  Speaker 38: ABA game was played, Tony. You know who was playing
• 38:46
  Speaker 38: in that game?
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I can only imagine.
• 38:48
  Speaker 38: The Oakland Oaks beat the Anaheim Amigos.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 38:53
  Speaker 38: 132 to 129.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: With the multicolored basketball, yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 38: That's when the red, white, and blue basketball, Tony, and
• 39:00
  Speaker 38: the three-point field goal. That league, and you and I
• 39:03
  Speaker 38: have discussed it a lot, that was a lot of
• 39:05
  Speaker 38: fun to watch. They would show the New York Nets
• 39:07
  Speaker 38: on Channel 9. Those were the days, Tony. 1967, on
• 39:13
  Speaker 38: this day, Tony, the Seattle Supersonics lost their first game ever.
• 39:20
  Speaker 38: They're now the Oklahoma City Thunder, but they lost... that
• 39:24
  Speaker 38: game to the San Francisco Warriors out in Oakland that day.
• 39:27
  Speaker 33: 1969, Tony.
• 39:29
  Speaker 38: One of many firings for Billy Martin. Billy Martin, Tony,
• 39:33
  Speaker 38: won 97 games for the Twins, and he got fired because,
• 39:37
  Speaker 38: do you remember the fight he had with Dave Boswell?
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I sure do. I remember reading about it in the newspaper.
• 39:42
  Speaker 38: It was in a bar alley, of course, right? I mean,
• 39:45
  Speaker 38: it was in the back of a bar in an alley.
• 39:48
  Speaker 38: They had a disagreement, and even though he almost won
• 39:52
  Speaker 38: 100 games that year, they did lose in the playoffs.
• 39:54
  Speaker 38: But he was fired on that day, and we know
• 39:59
  Speaker 38: about the Yankee firings, which just kind of are still
• 40:02
  Speaker 38: going on, I think. They never ended, Tony, the firings
• 40:07
  Speaker 38: of Billy Martin. 1978, Tony, on this day, the first,
• 40:11
  Speaker 38: the only World Series game I've ever attended. And that
• 40:15
  Speaker 38: was when Greg Nettles made the incredible stops against the
• 40:19
  Speaker 38: Dodgers in Game 3. I remember Guidry beating the Dodgers, Tony.
• 40:24
  Speaker 38: I was just sitting in the back of home play
• 40:26
  Speaker 38: against the wall, and that propelled the Yankees to win
• 40:30
  Speaker 38: those four games in a row, and that was on
• 40:33
  Speaker 38: this day in 1978. As far as birthdays, Tony, on
• 40:37
  Speaker 38: this day, some NBA players, Derek Harper, former guard for Dallas,
• 40:43
  Speaker 38: he was the NBA Defensive Player of the Year a
• 40:45
  Speaker 38: few times. He celebrates Hall of Famers today, Tony. Paul Pierce,
• 40:49
  Speaker 38: the former Celtics, celebrates. And Doc Rivers, who was a
• 40:54
  Speaker 38: guard in the league but got in the Hall of
• 40:55
  Speaker 38: Fame as a coach. And this will bring a smile
• 40:58
  Speaker 38: to your face, Tony. Reggie Theus, who played for Jerry Tarkanian.
• 41:04
  Speaker 20: You and I have talked about Theus.
• 41:08
  Speaker 38: Nevada, Las Vegas, Tony, the fine academic institution under Jerry Tarkanian.
• 41:14
  Speaker 38: Reggie Theus had a nice NBA career, but he celebrates
• 41:17
  Speaker 38: a birthday today. As far as NFL birthdays, Tony, I
• 41:21
  Speaker 38: have a couple big ones today. Two Hall of Famers,
• 41:24
  Speaker 38: Brian Dawkins, former defensive back for the Eagles. Played a
• 41:28
  Speaker 38: long time. I think he played 18 years, which is incredible.
• 41:31
  Speaker 38: Speaking of longevity... Jerry Rice, Tony, celebrates a birthday today,
• 41:36
  Speaker 38: 64 years old. Now, in the past, Lee and I
• 41:40
  Speaker 38: have talked about sports records that probably could not be broken. Tony,
• 41:44
  Speaker 38: his has got to be close, almost 23,000 yards.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: Receiving.
• 41:50
  Speaker 38: And the next closest guy, you know, let's put it
• 41:55
  Speaker 38: this way, the next closest active guy is Mike Evans, Tony,
• 41:58
  Speaker 38: who's about 9,000 yards behind, and he's about at the
• 42:02
  Speaker 38: end of his career. Larry Fitzgerald, I think, is second
• 42:05
  Speaker 38: on the list. Tony, he's about 6,000 yards behind. So
• 42:09
  Speaker 38: this record, I mean, you'd have to have a wide
• 42:11
  Speaker 38: receiver play 20 years, which isn't going to happen, and
• 42:14
  Speaker 38: average in over 1,000. I mean, his record is right
• 42:17
  Speaker 38: up there with the unbreakable ones. Probably the best receiver,
• 42:22
  Speaker 38: without question, the best receiver I've ever seen in my life.
• 42:27
  Speaker 38: As far as baseball birthday, Tony's born on this day.
• 42:31
  Speaker 38: You remember the Mets coach, Eddie Yost?
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was a longtime fixture as far as the, yeah.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, he goes back to the Hodges era.
• 42:43
  Speaker 38: He did, and he coached third base, Tony. And I
• 42:45
  Speaker 38: didn't realize as a player back in the day, he
• 42:47
  Speaker 38: led the American League in walks like six or seven times.
• 42:51
  Speaker 38: I mean, maybe that's why he became a coach. He
• 42:53
  Speaker 38: was a fundamentally sound guy. But he was born on
• 42:57
  Speaker 38: this day in 1926. Tony, you probably remember this guy
• 43:00
  Speaker 38: better than I do. Born on this day in 1931,
• 43:02
  Speaker 38: Eddie Matthews, the Hall of Famer for the Braves.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, saw him play. Saw him play.
• 43:08
  Speaker 20: Fine player.
• 43:09
  Speaker 38: 500 home runs and born on this day in 1931.
• 43:11
  Speaker 38: Remember Bob Beetle Bailey, Tony?
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: He was a bonus baby.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: He was part of that thing where if you got
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the bonus, you had to stay on the big league
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: roster for a certain amount of time. He was there
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: for many, many, many years as a pinch hitter with
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different clubs.
• 43:33
  Speaker 38: Yeah, out of Long Beach, California. He had a couple
• 43:37
  Speaker 38: good years for the, you know, he would hit over
• 43:39
  Speaker 38: 25 home runs, drive in your 80 runs, you know,
• 43:41
  Speaker 38: solid career. Stuck around 17 years. Actually played his last
• 43:45
  Speaker 38: year in Boston, believe it or not. But Bob Bailey
• 43:47
  Speaker 38: was born on this day. That was back in 1942. Scott,
• 43:52
  Speaker 38: former Red Sox Tony, you know, strange kind of situation.
• 43:56
  Speaker 38: Scott Cooper was born in 1967 on this day. He's
• 43:58
  Speaker 38: still a young man of 59 years old. He was
• 44:03
  Speaker 38: an all-star in 93-94. His problem was he was a
• 44:06
  Speaker 38: third baseman behind Wade Boggs. But he did make two
• 44:10
  Speaker 38: all-star teams in a row for Boston. But he was
• 44:14
  Speaker 38: sent to St. Louis, Tony, and he was out of
• 44:16
  Speaker 38: baseball by the age of 30. He actually went to
• 44:18
  Speaker 38: Japan after that. But he celebrates today. And Hall of
• 44:21
  Speaker 38: Famer Tony Trevor Hoffman, who pitched forever.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Forever.
• 44:25
  Speaker 38: I think he pitched in relief 18 seasons. Of course,
• 44:28
  Speaker 38: most of them. with San Diego, and he has over
• 44:31
  Speaker 38: 600 saves in his career. But he celebrates today. He's
• 44:36
  Speaker 38: just 59 years old today, Tony.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you go back to that 60 series, and
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I remember our pal John Martensky had, back the late
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Rich Marazzi, had his baseball show in WICC, and Whitey
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Ford was a guest. And John thought he was being very.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: You know, shall I say... with great introspection, went to Mr.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Ford and said, you know, Whitey, I felt you should
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: have started that seventh game.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: It would have been a different outcome. And Whitey Ford said, yeah,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: you and 25 other guys.
• 45:15
  Speaker 38: Yeah, that was the old Yankee team, Stoney. But, you know,
• 45:20
  Speaker 38: I mean, as we talked about that whole farce with
• 45:24
  Speaker 38: Steinbrenner firing Martin, and they made light.
• 45:26
  Speaker 20: Beer commercials from it.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Remember, Tony?
• 45:28
  Speaker 38: It actually became a laughable farce at one point. But
• 45:33
  Speaker 38: we talked to Billy Martin, Jr., and his father, it
• 45:37
  Speaker 38: was a very tragic situation, Tony, his entire life, correct?
• 45:40
  Speaker 38: I mean, alcohol kind of ruined him.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: It ruined him at the end and eventually killed him.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, we're coming up to where we're
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: at a time. It's like the one thought I had
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: over the weekend was Billy Martin was the most fired
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and rehired man in history, passing the record of one
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Harry Von Zell and George Burns.
• 46:00
  Speaker 13: Harry, you're fired.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so, Bob, thanks. Thanks for being here as always,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk soon. Bob Lazeri in the wonderful world
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: of sports.
• 46:10

  Speaker 2: Fine, fine.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: We're fine as fine can be. Anywhere you want to go.
• 54:55
  Speaker 20: I'm going to pick up a little of what you
• 54:58
  Speaker 20: mentioned in your opening monologue about the working class debacle
• 55:03
  Speaker 20: of this handbook of winning the working class by the
• 55:10
  Speaker 20: socialist organization creating this propaganda more than anything else. Two
• 55:15
  Speaker 20: points I'd like to make in this booklet is, number one,
• 55:19
  Speaker 20: they have a definition of working class, and I want
• 55:23
  Speaker 20: to read it to the audience. and I want to
• 55:25
  Speaker 20: make a comment on it. And I want to basically, again, reiterate,
• 55:31
  Speaker 20: I've taught economics and business classes for 44 years now.
• 55:36
  Speaker 20: And honestly, I have never heard a definition of the
• 55:38
  Speaker 20: working class such as the following. The working class are
• 55:41
  Speaker 20: people and families who have to work for a living
• 55:44
  Speaker 20: and have little or no financial security to fall back
• 55:47
  Speaker 20: on if they lose their job or are unable to work.
• 55:52
  Speaker 20: In our research to determine if someone is working class,
• 55:55
  Speaker 20: we use a formula that factors in family income, education level,
• 55:59
  Speaker 20: and occupation or type of work. In total, the working
• 56:03
  Speaker 20: class compromises 63% of the total American electorate. It's a
• 56:08
  Speaker 20: large group that spans significant diversity. I have no clue,
• 56:13
  Speaker 20: in all the years I've taught economics, how you could
• 56:17
  Speaker 20: even create a definition such as that And what is
• 56:21
  Speaker 20: the actual formula that they are using as far as
• 56:25
  Speaker 20: family income, education level, and occupation? We live in an
• 56:29
  Speaker 20: economic system that has such a great diversity to it
• 56:32
  Speaker 20: as far as jobs, careers, abilities to gain financial security,
• 56:39
  Speaker 20: to gain wealth, to invest, to save money, so on
• 56:42
  Speaker 20: and so forth. Where do they come off with this
• 56:45
  Speaker 20: kind of definition? And again, they have no backing of
• 56:50
  Speaker 20: their formula. They have no discussion of their formula. They
• 56:53
  Speaker 20: have no discussion whatsoever other than this is what they're presenting,
• 56:57
  Speaker 20: and so be it. So 63% of our country is
• 57:02
  Speaker 20: basically on the road to financial Armageddon, apparently, according to them.
• 57:08
  Speaker 20: So with this propaganda, they really play into a lot
• 57:12
  Speaker 20: of people's feelings to a certain degree. Again, those people
• 57:16
  Speaker 20: who really... you know, don't advocate and or don't understand
• 57:23
  Speaker 20: in some parts of our economic system. But then again,
• 57:26
  Speaker 20: at the same time, they're getting a very biased view
• 57:29
  Speaker 20: of the country, of the world, the limited amount of
• 57:33
  Speaker 20: news they may get from state-run media, CNN, so on
• 57:37
  Speaker 20: and so forth. So they're doing a great job of
• 57:42
  Speaker 20: basically brainwashing many people in our country, especially a lot
• 57:47
  Speaker 20: of the younger people in the country, saying, you know,
• 57:50
  Speaker 20: we live in a hopeless economy, a hopeless society. And
• 57:54
  Speaker 20: the great irony I see in this whole concept of
• 57:59
  Speaker 20: this party, this working families party, working class party, whatever
• 58:02
  Speaker 20: you want to call it, is that a lot of
• 58:05
  Speaker 20: them are a bunch of billionaires and very wealthy people.
• 58:10
  Speaker 20: There are many wealthy socialists. Bernie Sanders is the poster
• 58:13
  Speaker 20: child for them. who are telling other people, you know,
• 58:18
  Speaker 20: you're not getting ahead. You're not going to do anything.
• 58:21
  Speaker 6: Listen to me.
• 58:21
  Speaker 20: Listen to me. Even though I'm financially secure, somehow I'm
• 58:26
  Speaker 20: going to make you financially secure through programs, through government subsidies,
• 58:31
  Speaker 20: so on and so forth, that have failed our country
• 58:33
  Speaker 20: for years now. Let's continue to fail them for another generation.
• 58:38
  Speaker 20: Let's create more hopelessness in our economy. While we're laughing
• 58:42
  Speaker 20: our heads off and we're vacationing in the Caribbean or
• 58:45
  Speaker 20: whatever the case might be, it's so sickening it's beyond me.
• 58:49
  Speaker 20: And I do agree with you 110%. The Republicans should
• 58:52
  Speaker 20: be all over the world daily to counter this propaganda,
• 58:58
  Speaker 20: counter this communist socialist propaganda economically that they're forcing the
• 59:02
  Speaker 20: people of our country.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: You know, it was interesting.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: I was listening to Kellyanne Conway yesterday. and she made
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: an excellent point. Now, again, you may love her, you
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: may hate her. I respect her for her body of
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: work and what she has done in her life. She
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: did get a president elected. And she understands elections and
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: she understands the whatever you want to call it, the mind.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Of the voter.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: And she said and she's speaking.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: She's not thinking about Connecticut when she says this, but
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: she says that too many Republicans are playing in the
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: socialist park, the liberal park, the Democrat park. They don't
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: talk about the good things that are happening and what
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: you could do to get to the good things. and
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: be the good things and do the good things. We
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: never hear any discussions about that. And here I am
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: sitting here, very privileged to be in this chair, more
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: privileged to be speaking with you. And I'm thinking, you know,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: as an older individual, Klaus Spittbarth, that I don't want
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: my younger me being told by some political idiot that
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: this is as good as it gets and this is
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: all you're ever going to do and you're limited. And,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I ran from that as a young man.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, and I, you know, I left town. I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: started something different. I mean, this is as un-American, un-spiritual, un-Christian,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: un-something-or-other that you possibly can do. And I think to
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: your point, Bob, what it is is that it keeps
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: a Bernie Sanders, you know, largely a political, fiscal, total
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: zero incompetent jerk on his high, pedestal forever and ever
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: and ever. Meanwhile, as the masses are just sitting there,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: you know, practically killing each other over a scrap of
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: bread and a drug needle.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 20: And again, if you just drive around, you know, a city,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 20: you drive around a state, you drive around a neighborhood,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 20: you look at the economic wealth that you're surrounded with.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 20: You look and you go to a store and you
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 20: see all the different variety of goods and products you
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 20: can buy. And you just look around you and say,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 20: look how blessed, look how fortunate America is to have
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 20: this kind of wealth, this kind of economic growth, economic development,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 20: despite the fact that we have a politically ruling class
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 20: that wants to take everything away from us. And again,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 20: in no denial that there are some people who are
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 20: less well-off than other people in our economy. But again,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 20: when people come from nothing and they create something and
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 20: they create a lifetime for themselves, a family, they create
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 20: and buy property. They own assets. They create financial growth
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 20: and financial wealth. They are living the American dream. And
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 20: why do so many people want to come into this
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 20: country legitimately? Because they want to share that economic dream.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 20: There is no other country in this world, not only
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 20: to what any socialist or communist can tell me, that
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 20: has the economic opportunity that we have in this country
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 20: should start being thankful of that rather than can getting
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 20: it and i and i use a point look at
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 20: christmas he's supposedly a united states senator he does very
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 20: well in connecticut except the summer drawn through the state
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 20: that that's very core graph very you know scripted so
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 20: on and so forth he really doesn't do anything for
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 20: the people of the state of connecticut He's apparently gaining
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 20: wealth because I'm sure he's getting donations left and right,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 20: and I'm sure he's being taken care of here and there.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 20: The taxpayer of America has to pay his salary and
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 20: his benefits, so on and so forth. And what is
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 20: he really doing in our country, in our state, economically
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 20: to benefit us?
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 9: Zero.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 32: Nothing.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 20: He's Bernie Sanders Jr. He's just waiting for his payday
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 20: somewhere so he can be a multimillionaire. and really dictate
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 20: for the rest of his born days, because he's a
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 20: senator for life, that you listen to me, you take
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 20: care of me, and, you know, I'll talk all the
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 20: propaganda you want. And that is what is inherently wrong
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 20: today in our economy, and that's what's inherently wrong with
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 20: the Republican Party, not fighting them tooth and nail about this.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: When you speak of not fighting them tooth and nail,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: and I wholeheartedly agree.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I don't hear Republicans... I hear a couple like on
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Fox or Fox Business that come on, but they're in
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: the minority. They do not stress to people that, you know,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: if you think what's happening now is bad, if you
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: allow Democrats to rule the roost, your income taxes would
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: have been 20% higher for the past seven or eight years.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: If you allowed the.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: fuel policies and the energy policies that were in place
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: in the first trump administration to remain in place i.e
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: you know the keystone pipeline or things like that the
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: jolt that we're feeling now and yes that is a
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: painful jolt you know it's that uh you know life
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: never promised you a rose garden unfortunately i wish i
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: could i wish i could help you with that if
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: that's what you believe but if If that were allowed,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: it would have been straight a hormones, you know, it's
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: a mere bag of shells because we can do our own.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: We are sufficient.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Now, the Trump administration has made great strides in doing it,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: would do much better if they had any sort of cooperation.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: They have not been perfect. They have made mistakes. Let's
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: be clear about that. But I think what we're getting
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: at here, I think, is something spiritual. It's something tangible.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: That guy walking in the store, you know, listening to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: D'Angelo and Slick.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: On the radio, well, you know, you talk about that.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I can't afford bread.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Bread is whatever the price is, and I can't afford this.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I want the government to buy my bread,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: and it's like, well, look at it this way. There's
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: two things happening here. Number one, the people who are
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: making the bread, if we're going to use bread as
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: an example, are making money, hopefully, doing the bread and
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: employing people. because people are buying the bread with the
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: resources that they have. Why isn't the question, what do
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: I have to do economically, socially, spiritually, physically, cleaning myself,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: to buy my own damn bread and not get with
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: some freaking politician who promises me crumbs?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: That's my thing.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 20: Well, you hit on the point of self-sufficiency. And again,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 20: if President Trump was allowed to lead in both administrations,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 20: we would have seen even greater economic growth than we've seen,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 20: and we would have seen self-sufficiency, especially in energy, which
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 20: is something I have been dealing with since the first
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 20: energy crisis back in the early 1970s, where I still
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 20: remember to this day, I was in high school when
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 20: I was appointed a light monitor. I have to go around.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 20: But for a few minutes in between classes and any
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 20: classes that were empty, you shut the lights off to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 20: save energy. So to this day, I shut lights off
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 20: in the House to save energy because I was in
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 20: the spill department. But to your point as far as
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 20: self-sufficiency and to your point of President Trump, yes, I
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 20: am just sick and tired of hearing how bad President
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 20: Trump is, blah, blah, blah. And, you know, I lived through,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 20: you lived through, Tony, America lived through one of the
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 20: worst administrations in our country, and that's the Joe Biden administration,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 20: which was basically nonfunctional and did more damage to our country.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 20: And we'll see the damage continue down the road from
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 20: what that man did not do and being completely incoherent
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 20: in office. So we have an election coming up because
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 20: of the, well, not because of the, we have an
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 20: election coming up. And I don't see one word coming
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 20: out of the Democratic Party, how they're going to do
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 20: anything to make anything more affordable, other than they're saying
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 20: government will take care of you, government is going to
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 20: do this, government is going to do that, and President
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 20: Trump is bad. It's grown tiring. It's the same old story.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 20: The Democratic Party is not offering any solutions, especially in Connecticut.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 20: And once and for all, and I do believe, and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 20: I don't follow all the polls, and I'm not a
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 20: big believer in polls, especially after the anti-Trump polls that
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 20: came out over the past couple elections. And I really
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 20: believe Americans are smart enough to say, why would I
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 20: vote for a Democrat who wants to bring me into
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 20: socialism when my grandparents or my great-grandparents fled the Holocaust,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 20: fled the Bataan Death March, fled the wars to try
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 20: to have a peaceful life and have a life of freedom.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 20: Why would I want to vote for that again? And
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 20: I think that's going to be the focal question when
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 20: people go to vote in November. The brainwashed are brainwashed.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 20: They're going to vote Democrat. The devil could be running
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 20: for office. They'll vote for.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 49: Him.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 20: And that's written off. But I think the majority of Americans,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 20: the majority of the working class, how I define it,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 20: are going to vote with their pocketbooks, and they will
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 20: vote Republican. They'll vote for candidates that are normal, in
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 20: my opinion, compared to these DSA socialists that are running
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 20: and want to rule the world and want to create
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 20: another Cuba here.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: I'm watching, then again, in Connecticut, other than what's done.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: On X or people working hard independently, you can only
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: get bits and pieces from the state-run news. They will
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: show you what they feel they should show you and
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: keep other things deliberately from view. And one of the
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: things that, I mean, and, you know, Lee Elsie and
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: I have discussed this for years, I've discussed this with
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: other people, is there never has been the focused and
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: determined in Connecticut and clear plan for improving New Haven,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: improving Bridgeport, making.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: It better, making it workable, taken by Republicans.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: To the city saying, you've got this, you've got drug addiction,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: you've got, if you want to use the term, sex
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: workers who are off.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: Of the 91.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: You've got, you've got, you've got.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: You have one lunatic in the legislature who wants to
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: put up harm reduction centers. No, we don't want to
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: see people killing themselves, but we don't want to turn
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: the streets into Needle Park. Nobody's going to come there
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: if we do that. And, and, and. And it's like,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: where is the focus plan for economic improvement? The other thing,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: the other, the inside out of that is, How do
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: you continue to keep up the charade of beg, borrow, steal,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: go to the federal government, spend on everything, Medicare for all,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, we're going to take care of it.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: We're going to take care of the SNAP. We're going
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: to do any. And you are losing your revenue producing
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: people and your innovators and your higher, more motivated people daily.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't happen without something snapping in between. And
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: they all think like those women, you know, who played
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: the tape between the 630 and 640. Oh, Abdul's got
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: the right idea. This is exactly what we need. How
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: do you pay for it?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 35: We don't know, but we need it.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: It's just, listen, you're bombing.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 20: Well, that's the problem because a lot of people really
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 20: don't understand how do you pay for all this. And
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 20: to your point, I agree with you 110%. We've talked
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 20: about this a million times over. okay, what's the plan
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 20: to pay off the state debt? What's the plan to
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 20: create economic opportunity? Okay, we don't want to use economic
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 20: enterprise zones because that's Trump, so we're going to come
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 20: up with something that doesn't work either, and we're just
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 20: going to do the same thing over and over again
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 20: to the point that state bonding becomes so excessive that
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 20: it takes over most of the state budget. Taxes have
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 20: to be increased. More people who are economically mobile will
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 20: move out of the state. And whoever's in office is
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 20: going to say, well, I'm done. Let me get my
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 20: state job now and get my state pension and get
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 20: out to a state that doesn't have a state income tax.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 20: And sadly, that's what we're on the road to. But again,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 20: I do see a lot of lights in this election
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 20: in Connecticut because there are some new individuals running. who
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 20: have very good ideas and very good programs that they're
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 20: talking about that could help the state. Lamont is, to me,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 20: just a broken record talking about nothing and just figuring
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 20: out what's the next profit he can make for his
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 20: hedge fund. That's all he's turned into.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: He's a political hack of.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 20: The highest nature.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

  Speaker 4: before last night. And if he didn't prove to you

  Speaker 1: 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. Tony D'Angelo in for Lee Elsie.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: It's the Power Hour with Professor Bob Swick. That's been
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: fun doing these on my temporary Tuesdays. Bob, we have
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: a caller, and I believe it's Jan from Eastline.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: Jan, how are you?
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 54: Oh, I'm fine. It's very hard. I can't hear you
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 54: loud and clearly until you just now got on the
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 54: phone with me. So I can't hear you very well.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: I'll try getting up close to the microphone.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 38: Okay.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 35: Well, you know what?
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 54: I love this weekly session. with you guys, with you
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 54: and Bob. And it's the one good thing that has
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 54: come out of this very sad situation that we're in
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 54: right now, temporarily. But, okay, I just really quickly wanted
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 54: to point out, as a historian, very quickly, working class
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 54: always used to mean people who made their money from
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 54: the land, landowning. The working class worked with their hands.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 54: The dependent people were children, elderly, and people who, well,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 54: back then, you had to take care of yourself. Your
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 54: community would help you. Now we have, if you think
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 54: about that, if you've got a mansion down by the water,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 54: but if you lose your job, you lose that house,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 54: you're working class. So we do have a lot in common,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 54: but not in the way that the... The definition Bob
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 54: was talking about where they parse it finer and finer
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 54: and finer so everybody can fight with each other. But
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 54: I wanted to say, I know talking with friends, I
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 54: have friends who have done very well and are very
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 54: secure financially, as much as you can be in this world,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 54: and they've always known how to handle money. And I
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 54: have other friends who've never, ever been able to handle money,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 54: and they're going into old age with nothing. And I
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 54: think the problem is family literacy or financial literacy. And
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 54: if you don't get that in your family, you're certainly
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 54: not getting in the schools. How can we address this problem?
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 54: Because the people who are most in debt in this country,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 54: which is almost everybody, they can't handle their own money.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 54: How in the world? Can they decide how to manage
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 54: government money?
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 20: Well, the one thing I've always requested over the years,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 20: I've fought for over the years, in a high school curriculum,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 20: you teach finance 101, basics of finance, how to balance
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 20: a checkbook, how to pay bills, so on and so forth.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 20: Some schools are starting to do that. So I see,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 20: because I'm still teaching, I do see some financial literacy
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 20: in young people. And I do see a lot of
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 20: young people, especially in my classes, because they are in
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 20: the class, they're trying to better themselves economically and financially.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 20: I do agree with you 100 percent. We do have
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 20: a lot of financial illiteracy within our economy and within
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 20: our society. I think a lot of it is basically
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 20: forced upon us by elected officials, because the less you know,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 20: the more they can pull off and the more they
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 20: can do. Ed Lamont is the greatest example of that,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 20: in my opinion. But getting to your point, I do
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 20: believe a mandated high school program of one, two, three classes,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 20: whatever it may be, where you have to take these
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 20: classes and you will learn and you will understand. And, Jan,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 20: I can honestly say over the years I've had many
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 20: of my students ask me financial advice about buying a home,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 20: buying a car, careers, so on and so forth, and
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 20: I've given them honest advice. about it, and I know
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 20: I've helped some students with it, and other students aren't helpful,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 20: put it that way. It's still a problem, but I
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 20: think that can be overcome, in my opinion.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 54: I do, too. I mean, I will never forget seeing
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 54: Susie Orman testify at a Senate hearing when Ted Kennedy
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 54: was still alive and he was there. And she was
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 54: talking about student loans, student debt. And she said, you know,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 54: the students don't understand they have to pay the loan
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 54: back with interest. And I'll never forget the look on
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 54: Ted Kennedy's face. He said, students in college don't understand
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 54: that basic that they're going to have to pay that
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 54: back with interesting she said no they just get the
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 54: money they don't understand and i thought wow the uh
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 54: well thank you.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: Oh thanks you know it's um i um i guess
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: this is my week to be biblical the uh i
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: um if you have nothing to do you can go
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: to um talk red on talk red media on twitter
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: they exerted my uh whatever you want to call it,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: my mini lecture on how communism cannot work as determined
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: by the book of Acts. And Peter and Paul, they
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: had the riot with the widows, and they tried to
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: make all things common, and the people were just piggy
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: andy and in. But to Jan's point, Bob, the way
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: taxation was supposed to be, the book of Genesis, or
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's Genesis 49. I may not know anything
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: else in the Bible, but it was supposed to be
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: the fifth to Pharaoh. 20% goes to the municipality for
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: the sake of the municipality or the community.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: Well, how are you going to take care of the poor?
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: Well, that was supposed to be the temple tax, the tie, 10%.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: Leaving you 70%. Now, it's like you get politicians, bureaucrats, crybabies, hangers-on,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: everything else. And then, I mean, now we're fighting the
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: south side of a dollar.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, do we get to keep 35%, 40%? And
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: then they want more? It's insane.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 20: Well, the more tax money that they gain, the more
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 20: control they have over you.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 23: Exactly.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 20: That's what it comes down to. The less of your
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 20: personal income you have control over, the more government has
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 20: control over you. That's a simple concept. It's a simple idea.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 20: It's in practice everywhere we look in our country. And
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 20: at the same time, again, I reiterate, with the election
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 20: coming up, the Democrats are going to cut taxes. I
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 20: find that hard to believe. They're not. They have no
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 20: desire to.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 37: But.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 20: You still have to somehow overcome, and many people overcome,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 20: the grip of government, the grip of regulation, the grip
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 20: of whatever, and they become economically successful in our economy.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 20: We all have that opportunity. We are given that opportunity.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 20: We are given an opportunity to learn about finance ourselves,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 20: to study, to read. And I think a big problem
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 20: today that I see is that the attention spans of
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 20: young people have become a ten-second snippet because they're being
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 20: constantly bombarded online with, you know, pop-up ads, just, you know,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 20: 20 words here, 20 words there, so on and so forth.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 20: So they have difficulty rationalizing and comprehending any type of decision,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 20: and especially a long-term decision, as far as financial concerns go.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 20: borrowing money, buying a car, buying a home, so on
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 20: and so forth. So there are a lot of factors
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 20: in our economy working against financial literacy, working against financial success,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 20: yet at the same time, in my opinion, have the
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 20: equal amount of factors working for financial success, for financial literacy,
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 20: for financial well-being and financial growth, so on and so forth.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 20: So we have to turn, because we are in the
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 20: minority apparently, we have to turn the debate to them
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 20: and say, listen, your taxes aren't really helping anybody. Your
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 20: taxes are not going to where they're supposed to go.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 20: Your taxes are going to fraud. Your taxes are going
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 20: to overspending. Your taxes are going to political cronies. And
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 20: this is wrong. This is against our economy, against our
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 20: political system, against our spirituality at the same time. Let's
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 20: call it for what it is, once and for all.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 20: We're not going to get ahead in our economy with
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 20: a Democratic Party that is so hell-bent on destroying our economy,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 20: destroying financial growth, and controlling all the wealth themselves. We're
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 20: not going to get ahead with that. There's no way
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 20: it's possible. Contrary to what they're trying to say, contrary
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 20: to what the elitist and our state-run media are trying
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 20: to tell us, it's not going to work. I think
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 20: we can overcome it by our communicating our ideas that, hey,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 20: we're doing good. I have had a good life. I
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 20: have been able to create economic wealth in my lifetime.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 20: And you know what? I did not come from money.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 20: I did not come from an elitist family. I did
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 20: not come from a loyalty in any way, shape, or form.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 20: I worked for what I had in my life. My
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 20: wife and I have worked for what we have. And
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 20: we're not ashamed to say it. And I think that's
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 20: the one thing. Wealth is not bad. I don't care
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 20: what anybody says. If you have wealth, all the power
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 20: to you. That's great. If you've made that wealth legitimately
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 20: through investments, through hard work, through savings, you did it.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 20: And there's nothing wrong with that.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: I think if, and I'm saying this to every single
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: Republican who is in-state, out-of-state, on Earth, in Mars, in Venus, whatever,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: Take the last three minutes of this Power Hour and.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Take it, listen to it, listen to.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: What Bob said about what you should be focused on,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: what you should be drilling on, what you should be
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: telling people as far as this is what they want
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: to do to you and this is what you can
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: do for yourself.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: Now, make that choice. Make that choice.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: It's Do you really trust them to do for you
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: what they said they would do, considering they're never truthful
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: about anything that they tell you, basically. It's just one
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: lie after another. Take that snippet. Just don't even listen
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: to the rest of this power error. Take that snippet
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: and drill yourself on it. And, I mean, that's the
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: formula for success right there, Bob.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 20: I agree. I mean, you have to communicate a message correctly.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 20: that we live in the greatest country in the world,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 20: contrary to the naysayers. We live in the only country
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 20: in the world, in my opinion, when you have the
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 20: ability for economic growth, economic wealth, to be whatever you
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 20: want to be in life. You can create a business.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 20: You can create careers. You can do so much in
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 20: our economy. And if you look around you.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: Look at the wealth.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 20: Look at the beauty we have. of the ability to
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 20: live in a home, live in a condo, to get
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 20: into your own private car and drive where you need
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 20: to go, to go into that store and pick any
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 20: product you need possible under the sun. There's so much
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 20: to be thankful for in our economy. We live in
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 20: such a great economy, such a great country. Why are
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 20: the Democrats condemning it? Why? Give me that answer.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: They can't.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: They can't.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: It's... it's an amazing thing.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: And I mean, and I think to Jan's point, you know,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: earlier in this half hour, which is what do you
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: do to teach children? Now, the biggest fall off on this,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, political systems just been awful
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: with it. But I think our houses of worship, our
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: Christian churches are, I've never been a practicing Jewish person,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: so I don't know what goes on in the temple.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: These are things that could be taught in Sunday school.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: These are things that can be taught to children. These
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: are things to tell them early on that economics is
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: not a lottery ticket. Economics is not the prediction market
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: or a bet on a football game. Or you make $ 5, 000
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: and you go to Aruba and blow it with your girlfriend.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: That is not economics.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Economics is building something for yourself that the people can't
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: screw up, the politicians can't screw up, The system cannot
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: screw up. If having your own means of economics, of
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: your own means of production, this is what I say
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: to people. I've been telling people for years. Some days
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: my job is hell. Some days I say, why am
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: I doing this? Why am I putting up with this?
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: Why do I, you know, it's the pain of dealing
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: with the idiocies, the bureaucracies, The clients, sometimes they're lovely people.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: They go out and do stupid things and you've got
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: to back up.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: All that said, but here's the big thing, Bob.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: No one can take my job away from me.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: No one.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: Other than me, no one can take it away from me.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: And that is the thing that is so lost, I think,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: upon everybody. Get a system in place that nobody can.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: Take from you.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 20: Exactly. And again, you were given an opportunity to look
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 20: at what you did in your career, look at what
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 20: you did in your lifetime, look at the economic growth,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 20: the economic stimulation you created. It's such a beautiful thing.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 20: that it has to be, you know, ripped apart all
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 20: the time. It just really saddens me to the point,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 20: you know, I didn't spend 44 years trying to teach
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 20: economics and business classes to see our economy and our
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 20: political system end up the way it's ending up right now.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 20: That is inherently wrong. They are wrong in their message.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 20: The Democratic Party, the socialists in this country running for office,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 20: they are absolutely wrong 110%. They do not deserve to
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 20: be in office. They deserve to be in Cuba. They
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 20: deserve to be in the most communist country in the
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 20: world and see what it really is like.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: They're what bothers me.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: And this is the whole thing, when politicians go around,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: and this goes, I mean, maybe it's a 60-40 Democrat-Republican or, you.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: Know, whatever.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: It's not entirely a Democrat thing, but it's largely Democrat-driven.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: I have a neighbor. I met this neighbor. Actually, he
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: moved closer to me after he had $ 150, 000 worth of
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: income tax debt.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 53: He just....
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: He had issues and he didn't pay his income taxes.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: Very good at filing his returns, just couldn't pay his tax.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: So we went and we compromised his tax. And I
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: said to the officers, hey, look, this guy, you know,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: he's in his 30s. Do you want to have your
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: foot on his neck forever? Do you want him to
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: be productive? And I convinced the officer, you know, he
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: gave me a couple of things. I said, yes, we
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: will make him productive when that happened. He started to
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: run a very profitable side business, farming, trucking, assisting.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, we were paying him to do our stuff.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: So what happens? Joe Biden.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden comes and makes the fuel prices so damned high,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: he can't work anymore. And he has to sell his
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: truck and sell his equipment. And it's like, look at
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: all these wonderful things. And it's like, well, where is that,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, my local representatives, forget it.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, entirely useless.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: Where is that economic advocate for him saying, look, you're
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: crushing these small business people.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: People are far ahead.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: And it's like we're doing nothing to keep them in
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: business and destroy the, you know, to make the progress
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: of these people go forward. And it's like after some work,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: you know, got him back. But, of course, that happens
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: under a Republican administration. And it's like all this stuff
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: going back and forth. And it's let– and this is
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. Let people be people. Let people do
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: their own economics.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: Make these things.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: Don't make stupid political decisions that we all have to
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: pay for, you know, in.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: The sake of the– of the greater good or the
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: flora and fauna or whatever.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not anti-environment, believe me, but it's just I get
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: so tired of it. And then these politicians want to
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: praise you. Look at all these wonderful. No, you're the
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: guys that are killing us, frankly.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: Anyway, sorry about that.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 20: And, again, they have to realize, which they don't, small
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 20: businesses are the backbone of our economy.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 20: As much as large businesses are the backbone of our economy,
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 20: every business is the backbone of our economy. Every business
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 20: creates economic growth, economic stimulation, economic wealth. It creates income.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: It creates jobs.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 20: It creates prosperity.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 6: It creates hope.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: Right down the line. And guess what? Another Power Hour
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: in the books. Can you believe it?

  Speaker 20: I mean, wow.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 35: I better not be late ever again.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 3: Save me for myself.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 35: You know, if you tuned in, you thought you were
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 35: listening to the Farm Hour. I'm not talking about XY's.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 35: I've got a few of those around. So it's great
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 35: to be here.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 3: And thank you for the diligent effort.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 35: Oh, gosh, I tell you. So let's jump right into it.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 35: Let's go to a national issue. I don't know if
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 35: you've been talking about the Elon Omar thing.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 2: Have not.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 11: Oh, boy.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 35: Wow. So there's been a lot going on. And I'll
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 35: be honest with you, it's not been dialed in, but
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 35: this is important. People are going to say, oh, it's racist.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 35: You're going after the Somalis. It's payback. Well, I think
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 35: there's a person at Pennsylvania Avenue who really understands the
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 35: concept of political persecution, you know, and all these investigations
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 35: to nowhere. But this could have teeth. And if Ilyan Omar,
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 35: the congresswoman from Minnesota, is she from Minnesota? Yeah, you know,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 35: fraud and all kinds of things, and they're doing searches.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 35: And when there is a warrant, and so for those
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 35: who might be confused, okay, this was a federal court
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 35: judge issuing a warrant in liberal Washington, D.C., where I
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 35: will be next week.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 35: I'll be down in Arlington in Washington, D.C., visiting my family.
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 35: But I'll tell you, this is different than the FISA court, okay?
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 35: So why is it okay for a warrant to be issued.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: By this judge?
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 35: And then you're critical of the FISA court warrants that
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 35: happened under FBI Director Comey. Well, this is a federal judge,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 35: and you have to show probable cause. Having been there,
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 35: I am a retired judge and a lawyer. I know
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 35: a little bit about that because, gosh, I reviewed those
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 35: things as a prosecutor, as a judge. You have to
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 35: find a basis that they're more probable than not evidence
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 35: of a crime, that the target, it's narrow and focused,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 35: and we'll see what happens. But I guarantee you people
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 35: on both sides are going to line up and say
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 35: this is a partisan witch hunt. This is all about
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 35: the midterms and everything. There's a lot of bad stuff.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 35: If anybody cannot conclude that there was massive misuse of
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 35: funds in the state of Minnesota with all that money.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 35: There's something terribly wrong with you. Even the most ardent
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 35: left-wing liberal progressive, when you see the money and where
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 35: it went, this big vacuous thing, and Tim Walz being governor,
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 35: and how about Amy Klobuchar? I actually admired Amy Klobuchar.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 35: She was a prosecutor. Is she like hiding under the bedsheets?
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 35: This senior Minnesota senator who ran for president of the
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 35: united states yes she did she's nowhere to be found
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 35: you know this is political but it's also legal because
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 35: we don't want a system of two-tiered justice what you
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 35: know it's what's good for them the elites get away
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 35: with everything and they claim that about the trump family
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 35: and all well what's going on here you get to
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 35: congress and now you're immune whether you're ocasio-cortez whether you're
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 35: ilian omar very bad and this dovetails now into connecticut
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 35: politics you know And this it's like, does anybody care?
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 35: I keep talking about that. And I don't mean to
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 35: bum bum out people. But is this the year that
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 35: people turn out? Corrupticate? You know, now we've got Costas
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 35: Diamantis filing lawsuits from Greece. It's almost the epitome of hubris.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 35: You got somebody who doesn't show up for a sentencing.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 35: And Judge Underhill gives him seven years for 21 bribery counts.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 35: And he's got such a toad.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 35: Assuming because I said he has a toad. He files
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 35: a lawsuit because he's getting his suspension, his pension taken away.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 35: And he's got all this exception. Apparently now he's going
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 35: to appeal.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: Appeal.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 35: And that's his right. He's right. But, you know, this
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 35: is not a person presumed to be innocent. He was
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 35: found guilty of 21 felony counts. So where is this going?
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 35: We are really in Sinclair Lewis. Up is down and
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 35: down is up, Tom.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 27: Wow.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask two very, actually, one for me
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: and a question I get a lot. And I get this,
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: why is Tim Walls still there?
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, yeah.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 35: Why does he still have a job? How come he's
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 35: not in the bread line? I don't know if I
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 35: would trust him on the gravy at the chicken dinner
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 35: on Sunday at Catholic Charities. Because he would be kiting
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 35: a little jar for somebody else. These people, oh my gosh.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 35: And I'm no moral high ground, but when it walks
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 35: like a duck, quacks like a duck, you can finish
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 35: the sentence, right? It's like, how do these people have anything?
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 35: I mean, I wouldn't trust them for dog catcher. And
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 35: yet they're in office. These people are still in. They
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 35: haven't been run out. Never mind. Twenty fifth amendment.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 2: This is terrible.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 35: So this is what goes on. And in Connecticut, people
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 35: look the other way. Attorney General Tong, he doesn't want
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 35: to investigate anything. You know, we'll see where the two
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 35: hundred and eighty million dollars from Meta Facebook goes. It's
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 35: all campaigning. It's all jockeying. No, nothing to see here.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 35: But people are saying, you wonder. I'm going to talk
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 35: about Connecticut Insider for a second. They're doing expose after expose.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 35: Is it having traction? Eyeballs, I think, are noticing. You know,
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 35: some of these candidates are saying outlandish things. And is
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 35: the Connecticut electorate waking up? Are we just dumb, stupid,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 35: and happy? Or we just keep writing checks? Or are
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 35: we going to say, time out? What's going on here?
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 3: Second question.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: Costas Diamantis files an appeal from Greece. He's on the
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: lam as we, those of us that watch a lot
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: of gangster movies and hung out in Stanford in the 60s.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: How does he do the appeal if he's, how does
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: he show up for his date in court?
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 35: Something's not adding up here. Actually, you're fascinating me because
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 35: I had a situation just a week ago in Superior Court.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 35: I had a hearing and the judge was on the bench.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 35: I won't mention names and And somebody didn't show up,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 35: and he said to me, it's ready to zero. Is
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 35: there any request? And he was inviting a default judgment
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 35: because when you don't show up for things, you can
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 35: get a default. I think the judge can actually say,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 35: wait a minute, and the appellate court can say, you
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 35: don't have standing, okay? We have a concept under the law,
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 35: and you know this because you're a trained lawyer, the
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 35: doctrine of unclean hands. You come in to my court.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 35: You don't show up for sentencing. You're over in Greece
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 35: having a, you know, a Rob Roy sitting– Oceanside or
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 35: near the Mediterranean. And you don't have standing. You're defaulted
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 35: for not showing up. You've been sentenced to seven years.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 35: Maybe if you come back into the country, you might
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 35: have standing. So the judge could, the panel, the appellate court,
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 35: this is interesting. I think the government will pursue, I
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 35: say government, the state of Connecticut should pursue that. But
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 35: is it going to be a bad headline? Will William
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 35: Tong stand down until after November? Because he doesn't want
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 35: a bad headline, which will illustrate the malfeasance, the nonfeasance,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 35: the hiding under a rock attitude that we have in Connecticut.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: But, again, I'm asking dumb questions, but consider the source.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: Once he comes over into the United States of America,
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: isn't it like handcuffed city at that point?
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 35: They put the bracelets. He goes on to the federal
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 35: pen somewhere.
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 35: Some place for nonviolent offenders.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 35: And that kind of thing.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 13: Leavenworth, perhaps.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 35: Maybe Danbury. You know, I do know a guy who
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 35: went to prison in Danbury. He was a broker at
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 35: a local brokerage firm 45 years ago. Got caught in
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 35: a thing.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 8: I remember the guy.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 35: We won't mention names. Because he was in a London office.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 35: And he came back. You know what? He was 18
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 35: pounds lighter. And he told me he improved.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 8: His tennis game.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 35: And which reminds me of a war story. But that's
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 35: what goes on in low-security federal prison. They learn Chuck Colson,
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 35: the former hatchet man for Richard Nixon.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: I heard him preach, yes.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 35: And he became a pastor. He found Jesus. And he
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 35: was a real bad guy. So he had a lot
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 35: of making up to do. So that's what happens in prison.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 35: We'll see if he comes back. But, again, we scratch
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 35: our heads. And does anybody care? Does anybody follow what's
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 35: going on?
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: It seemed like it was this blip and everybody wanted
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: to talk to him. And I think to your point,
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of gone to the south side of nothingness.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 35: Yeah, that's what happened. So now we've got several weeks.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 35: We have a call maybe or we have some inquiry. But,
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 35: you know, do people care? We got a question from
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 35: a listener slash viewer.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm trying to let me get here. And actually,
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: the note I have is... Amy Klobuchar, this is more
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: of a statement, I believe, let Derek Chauvin off several
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: times before George Floyd. I'm just trying to, believe me,
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't follow it.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 35: When she was a prosecutor?
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 35: Okay, so I think I know what the caller, the
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 35: listener is saying. Because, you know, Amy Klobuchar, again, they
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 35: run when there's inconvenient news. Is there a statute of
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 35: limitations on Costas?
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 35: I'm going to be honest. I don't know. But I'll
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 35: say this. It's awfully close in time. And we could
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 35: not go get P. Takas Veliotis, who fled. It was
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 35: about 1985.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 28: Yeah.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 35: I think he died in Greece. So the problem is
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 35: when you have countries without extradition agreements, they're kind of safe.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 35: Why did all the Nazis go to Brazil? Remember boys
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 35: from Brazil?
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: I do remember.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 35: And I will tell you, I was involved in a
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 35: case involving a Russian officer. They're not only Nazis. That's
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 35: where the KGB end up. I had a case some
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 35: years ago where someone was killed in Hartford, and I
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 35: was dealing with folks from Russia and Argentina. This is
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 35: where spies go, and you can't touch them. They're down there.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 35: They're MC Hammer. They're parachute pants. I'm dating myself. Lee
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 35: Elsie will know what I'm talking about. You can't touch this, right?
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 35: So you may not be able to get these guys. So,
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 35: you know, more of the same. Are we becoming a laughingstock?
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 35: A laughingstock, you know? Can I talk about– I don't know.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 35: I'm not going to talk about a politician, but recently
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 35: there was a political thing where politicians were seen laughing.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 35: And I won't even– laughing about something, calling people idiots
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 35: and stupid or, you know, not good stuff. Is that
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 35: the way– is that the look we want for Connecticut?
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 35: You know, it's out there. You can find it. And
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 35: I just don't think it's a good look when we
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 35: have a governor or other people calling people idiots. I
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 35: say this applies to both sides.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want Republicans to call people idiots. I agree
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 35: I don't want Democrats. Do we have any civility left?
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 3: Well, is it civility a major point?
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 1: But the thing is we used to go in November
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: and say after November we will now do the business
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: of the people because the country is.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 3: First, the state is first, let us do that.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: Now it's just become– I'm going to do for my people,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: and this is what I'm going to do, and everybody
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: else can go screw because they're idiots.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 2: Morons, deplorables, on and on.
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 35: Well, it brings back to that whole Hillary Clinton deplorables,
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 35: where the deplorables, you know, go get your pitchforks and
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 35: cling to your pitchforks and crosses, and this division of people.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 2: It's really sad.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 35: It's sad. And I think we're better than that, right?
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 35: It sounds cliche. We're going to appeal to our better
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 35: angels today. You know, I'm going to repeat my wife.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 35: She's going to love this, right? A person shows his
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 35: or her character in one moment when no one is looking.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 35: That's the real. That's what I try to teach my kids.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 35: Do the right thing even though no one is looking.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 35: That's called honor, right? That was in the movie Rob Roy.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 35: And when you catch somebody doing something like that, it's
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 35: just not good. It's a reflection on character. Does character matter?
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 35: For all you Democrats out there that say character matters
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 35: about Donald Trump. Republicans who say character matters. Well, ask yourself,
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 35: you know, if people are honorable, do you want that
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 35: person being your advocate?
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that brings us at least brings me
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: to our current attorney general, you know, William Tong. And
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: I when I saw him come out of it looked
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: like he was at a luncheon or something. And he
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: came out and made the statement of that. where he
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: was dictating to Connecticut Republicans, in effect saying, you cannot
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 1: be MAGA. You're either for us or against us. And, Judge,
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: I looked at this and I said, well, my first
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: thought is we have a Democrat telling Republicans what they
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: can and cannot do.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 3: And my second thought.
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: Is, well, aren't these people who are, we want to
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: use this horribly pejorative term in the sense that he
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: wants to use.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 3: A MAGA, saying, well.
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: Don't we, if we're in office, represent MAGA?
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, are there values in MAGA that perhaps are
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 1: good value? It was just this whole thing. And I
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: was just, other than, you know, at least to my,
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: there was very, very white pushback about this. And I'm
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: saying to myself, Judge, why isn't every Republican signing a
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: statement saying, That man, if he doesn't, because America is
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: supposed to be, I think, to your point, a whole thing,
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: a whole polyglot of different ideas, different thoughts, different concepts.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, I find your attitude intolerable, so
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: you must be silenced.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 2: I was like.
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 35: Well, this is identity politics at its worst. And the
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 35: problem is, and I know William Tong, this is not
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 35: so simplistic. We're not so stupid. I would say to him,
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 35: having had dinner with him years ago, he knew me.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 35: He returned my calls when I was a judge. Not now, though,
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 35: a private private attorney. But I'll say this. It's nuanced.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 35: It's not either or.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 40: Right.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 35: You can actually be discerning and have a criticism on
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 35: both sides. And this is what they try to do.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 35: And maybe, you know, the Democrats are trying to align
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 35: any Republican in Connecticut. If you don't denounce MAGA, you're
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 35: a Trumper. And that's wrongheaded. I'm not running for anything,
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 35: as I've often said, other than my wife, if I
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 35: know what's good for me. But stop with the identity politics.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 35: We're not so stupid, are we? You know, and this
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 35: is what they're playing into, this right, left, left, right. Hey,
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 35: I want to say something. I made amends at the
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 35: dump last week of somebody very much on the left.
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 35: And I ended up, I saw her at the Delamar
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 35: in Mystic one day. And she said, you unfriended me.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 35: And I said, it did something worse.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 8: I blocked you. I blocked you.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 35: Because you're, I almost swore, you're really off the rails.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 35: And you know what we did at the dump where
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 35: all things are discussed?
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 8: We hugged.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 35: And we said, maybe we should do a show together.
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 35: She is actually in broadcasting. Worked at WDRC and Hartford
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 35: for many years. I think, I don't know if she
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 35: was on this forum. But she was working in radio recently. And,
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 35: you know, so two people with different views should be
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 35: able to come together, right? It's not all about identity.
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 35: She always said, you're MAGA, you're MAGA. No, I have
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 35: an opinion. You know, this is what goes on. So
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 35: let's try to make amends. Let's leave it on this
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 35: good note as we, you know, closing toward the end
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 35: of the half hour. My man, JFK, said, I don't
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 35: want the Democrat answer. I don't want the Republican answer.
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 35: I want the right answer. Yeah, let's have the intelligent answer.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 35: I think we're better. And let's appeal to.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 8: Our better angels, right?
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 35: Amen.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think we can say anything that would top
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: the magnificence of what you had just said. Judge John Nazaro,

• 2:23:03
  Speaker 1: Tony D'Angelo in Voice of the Fan, 94.9 News and
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 1: Stimulating Talk. And I've just got to make honorable mention
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 1: of this story. showing my wear and age, these things
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 1: I was talking about at the top of the last hour.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 1: Things you've done in your life. How many, they can't
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 1: find anybody that's done all 20. And actually, I'm pitching
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 1: a shout out here. I used a rotary phone, floppy disk, typewriter,
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 1: taking photos with a film camera, listening to music on
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: a CD, cassette tape, vinyl record. I had a Walkman.
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 1: I used a phone book. I sent a postcard. I'm
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 1: old enough to where we used to collect phone books
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 1: because I When we didn't want to pay for information,
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 1: in the pre-Internet days, we collected phone books. I did
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: dial up Internet. I still pay with paper checks. And
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 1: I guess people think this is really ancient stuff. I mean,
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: the one firm I was at in– actually, I met
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: my first wife in New York. There was one typewriter
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: on the floor. It was an IBM Selectric with a
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 1: ball element on it. and all of the women would
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: come in and drive me crazy, and they would use
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: the typewriter, and half of them couldn't type. And they'd
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 1: make errors, and they'd reach for the whiteout, and they'd
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: smile and apologize. Like, this is really good. I mean,
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: it's just finding it hard to concentrate in this stuff.
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 1: But all I can tell you is some of you
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 1: younger guys, you had to be there to actually figure
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 1: out really the magic.
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 3: That typewriters can bring.
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 23: But.
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 2: Our magic is in our callers. Our first caller is Dan. Hello, Dan.
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 6: What about actually rolling down the window, Tony?
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 1: My father had a 56 Plymouth with a cowl vent.
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 2: In other words, there was no air conditioning.
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 1: You pulled the lever back, and these vents would pop
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 1: out on the side, sort of like a, I don't know,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: some sort of like a condor or something. And people
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 1: drove from air conditioning. I mean, that's for rich people.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 2: My Lord.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 54: Right?
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 6: We had a car where there was still a crank
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 6: handle you could put in the front. It was a
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 6: Triumph TR3.
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 2: I recall them.
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 6: A little gangster car. It was cool. But what it's
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 6: all about is, first of all, I'm enjoying your show
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 6: very much.
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 6: And thanks for doing it.
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 2: It's an honor.
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 6: And I wanted to say what Jan had mentioned before
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 6: about the education of people. And I'm alarmed by the
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 6: stupidity of the average person. And, you know, there's a
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 6: term called engineered obsolescence, where they design into a product,
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 6: it's failure, right? So, you know, you get a year warranty,
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 6: and in 367 days, the thing is designed to break,
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 6: melt down, or whatever, so you have to go get
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 6: another one. And I cannot help but feel that the
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 6: ignorance that's out there in our population is by design.
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 6: It can't be any other way. Tony, you could sit
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 6: home and watch TV for 13 years instead of going
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 6: to public school and know more from sitting at home
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 6: watching TV and eating cereal than you could learn, than you,
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 6: a typical person, learns in a public school these days.
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 6: And that's not to denigrate teachers. I just think I
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 6: just have no idea what the curriculum is there. And
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 6: something had dawned on me the other day. You know,
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 6: I was, like, hearing about these riots in Paris where,
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 6: you know, the Islamic... the Islamists, really, to be more correct,
• 2:26:32
  Speaker 6: are taking over parts of the city. And the commentary
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 6: was like, well, it's mostly college students. And that had
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 6: me thinking. At first I was relieved, and I thought, okay,
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 6: you know, it's like dopey college students or whatever. But
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 6: then it dawned on me, Tony, that World War II– When...
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 6: If those... If the veterans that fought in World War II,
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 6: the American veterans that fought in World War II, weren't
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 6: jumping out of airplanes and parachuting down behind enemy lines to,
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 6: you know, fight Germans and, you know, fight those forces,
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 6: where would they be? I mean, many of them would
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 6: be in high school still. Most would be in college
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 6: because that was the age.
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 27: I mean.
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 6: Our American veterans in that war were lying about their age.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 6: They were 16 years old, 15 years old, some of them,
• 2:27:30
  Speaker 6: to go and fight, right? To go fight the hunt, basically, right?
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 6: Signing up, lying about their age. And so when you see...
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 6: you know, these movements on these college campuses where you
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 6: see the rank anti-Semitism and they're chasing Jewish students around
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 6: and they're, you know, and they're rioting and carrying on.
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 6: But then when they're interviewed and asked, can you name–
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 6: you know, the last three presidents of the United States,
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 6: or can you quote any of the amendments of the
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 6: Constitution of the United States? Not a clue. Tony, not
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 6: a clue. Not one. Can't get a single solitary amendment.
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 6: Can't figure out... And this is a group of people
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 6: that's never paid a tax... Never paid a tax, never
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 6: had a job, never have done anything except grown up
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 6: in their parents' house and then gone to school on
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 6: mostly what is our dime to learn how to be riotous,
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 6: malcontents that are lately more and more towing the Islamist line.
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 6: In our nation, in our country, we're talking about– we
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 6: talk about and worry about immigrants coming in illegally who
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 6: are military age, and we're making a homegrown batch of
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 6: them right here. I'm just– Islam, what is the deal
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 6: with the United States of America that we suddenly have
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 6: Islamist candidates and– They're in government, Tony. We're not even
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 6: talking about the mosque on the corner or freedom of
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 6: religion necessarily. We're talking about takeover of portions of the government.
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 2: Watch the Dearborn City Council.
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 6: Tony, I would pass something on Long Island here on
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 6: 27 on Sunrise Highway. It looked like Disney World was
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 6: getting built, like the Magic Kingdom Castle or something. I
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 6: was like, what the heck is that thing? It's a mosque.
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 6: It's an Islamic learning center, and everywhere I look, churches
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 6: are becoming a relic, a thing of the past. They're
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 6: being bought up, or the properties are being bought up.
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 6: Islamic centers are coming in, and Islam is, like, wildly
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 6: spreading all around our everyday existence. And it's like now
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 6: it's in government, and we're being lectured by Islamist apologists
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 6: about morality.
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I was watching like four or five things ping-ponged
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 1: off my head during your conversation. Jesse Watershow, he sends
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 1: Johnny out, kind of like a humorous thing, and talks
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 1: to people, those very things.
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 3: Do you know? Do you understand?
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 1: Johnny went to Columbia and was talking to a young gentleman. Now,
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 1: this was a gentleman of color who was very nice
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 1: and very knowledgeable, and Johnny said, Do you know the
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 1: name of the Secretary of Defense? And he's like, no, sorry, bro,
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 1: can't help you.
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 13: Like, what?
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 1: You're complaining about the war and you don't know the
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 1: name of the Secretary of Defense?
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 2: It's insane.
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 6: Have you seen this clip floating around? There's this guy
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 6: running for... he's running for office, and he accosts a
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 6: Jewish guy who's there with his kids in a parking lot.
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have not.
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 6: And he's got the worst anti-Jewish screed and rhetoric and
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 6: rant that you have ever heard, and he's literally... He's
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 6: running for office.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 20: Right?
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 6: I think it's Green Party or something on the left.
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 1: And.
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 6: And the straight apologists for Islamic jihad, basically. They're out
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 6: there chanting from the river to the sea.
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 2: I'm doing God's work. I want to kill you.
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 6: Do you understand what those words even mean?
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 2: It's so amazing.
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 1: I'd like to get another caller, and we can go
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: on for days. Thank you so much for calling, and
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: I believe we have old Dan. We've gone from young
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 1: Dan to old Dan. Maybe after that we'll have tired Dan.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 2: Hi, Dan.
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 16: Yeah, well, no, thanks, Tony. I've got to admit, I
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 16: loved your opening today.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 16: It was really great, and then Bob Swick and the judges,
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 16: But what I thought was also very important and enlightening,
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 16: that tape of those women talking about that we could give,
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 16: we need health care for all, and we need to
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 16: solve all our problems, and how can we pay for
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 16: it by taxing the rich? And it just struck me
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 16: that they're very idealistic. I think they mean well, but
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 16: they have no understanding of economic reality. And I've noticed
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 16: through life, if you make a decision based on emotion
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 16: and based on ignorance, it's usually the wrong decision.
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 2: Almost always.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 16: And I just looked up some stuff just to prove
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 16: that the rich are paying their fair share. The top
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 16: 50% in Connecticut and the federal government, the top 50%
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 16: of income earners pay 97% of the total income taxes
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 16: that are collected. I mean, do you think if they
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 16: paid another 3%, all our problems would go away and
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 16: we'd have enough money to have health care for all
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 16: and everything else that these women want?
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 1: It's ludicrous. Jumping back for a moment to a previous
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 1: Dan's conversation. This has been handed to me by my
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 1: editorial board. You never see Christians hijacking a plane and yelling,
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 1: praise Jesus. They try to kill everyone on board. But anyway,
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 1: please continue, Dan.
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 16: That's a good one. And, yeah, we're the bad guys.
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 20: Oh, my God.
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 16: And I just also look, just to get people hopefully
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 16: to understand, the total receipts, of state income taxes in
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 16: Connecticut are about $ 10. 5 billion. And since the top 50%
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 16: of wage earners pay 97% of it, they're paying $ 10. 2 billion.
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 16: That means the 3% are paying $ 300 million, which tells me...
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 16: And again, the same question. Would that $ 300 million, when
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 16: the rest of the higher earners are already paying, you know, $ 10.
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 32: 2 billion....
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 16: It's like we're being fed and being played on by the,
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 16: I call it the politics of jealousy and envy.
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 16: By them always saying, you know, the rich have it,
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 16: they don't need it, you know. But they're already paying
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 16: for it.
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 6: And I don't know.
• 2:34:50
  Speaker 16: And then I go to the, we're still the third
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 16: highest taxed state in this country. yet we're also the
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 16: second or third highest debt per capita state in the country,
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 16: which just, again, tells me we're taking an awful lot
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 16: of our money that we earn, that the workers earn,
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 16: but obviously we're spending it in the wrong way, and
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 16: it's never enough because we're in debt up to our eyeballs,
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 16: and we still have all these problems. And people got
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 16: to understand also, this is my last point, we talk
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 16: about affordability. And you said earlier about higher paychecks make
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 16: things more affordable. Well, if we're paying high taxes, that
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 16: comes out of our paycheck. And it makes our paycheck smaller.
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 16: So if you want to make things affordable, if we
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 16: have more take-home pay because we're paying less taxes, life
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 16: is more affordable. And I wish I could get that
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 16: through to people's heads.
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 11: And that's all I know.
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I keep coming back to that either 8 billionaires
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 1: or 10 billionaires or 12 billionaires. And the solution of
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 1: the Working Families Party is we need these people to
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 1: pay more tax. And we're going like the women, you know,
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 1: at the Abdul rally. We're going to get them to
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 1: pay more tax and we're going to stop wars and
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 1: everything is going.
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 2: To be wonderful. And it never dawns on them, Dan,
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 2: that these people who were.
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 1: There, basically, number one, they want to live their lives
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: in peace like everybody else does. Number two, they don't
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 1: like being fingered upon. Number three, if you get them
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 1: angry enough, they're going to go. Number four, if they
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 1: do go, the state budget collapses. There ain't no way
• 2:36:41
  Speaker 1: you're going to make up that amount of revenue with
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 1: nothing coming in.
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 2: And it's this whole thing.
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 1: And then, quote, unquote, and, you know, I realize this
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 1: in the business I am in, there's always the next
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 1: generation who often, more often than not, does not have
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 1: the same mindset of their parents. Basically, they'll look at
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 1: it and say, well, they screwed my father. You know,
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 1: they took all this money from him. He was in Florida.
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 1: I have a whole lot more. When it comes my day,
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm getting out. And it's this whole mental psychosis of
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 1: it's all going to be fine. We're going to get it.
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 1: Everything is okay. We're going to keep government where it is.
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to keep the income tax. We're keeping the
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 1: income tax. Other people are getting rid of theirs. Look
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 1: at Bruce Blakeman in New York running for governor. He
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 1: wants to get rid of the income tax. He's like,
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 1: enough of this. We've got to be competitive. We don't
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 1: hear that in Connecticut. We never, ever, ever hear that
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 1: because it's this whole thing of, well, you've got to
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 1: make up the revenue. Yeah, you make up the revenue
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 1: with new revenue, having new things come in. The loss
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 1: of Stanley Black and Decker, I keep coming back to that.
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 1: Multiply that times 5 times 10 times 15, and it's
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 1: like you've got.
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 2: To get more juice in this whole thing.
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 1: And actually, it's amazing. Believe it or not, we have
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 1: another caller, which is– I didn't think we'd get so many. Dan,
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for calling. Got Mike from Gales
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 1: Ferry coming up.
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 2: Got one minute.
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 56: I want to make it quick.
• 2:38:11
  Speaker 27: Sure.
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 56: So I've noticed a lot of times in Connecticut and
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 56: the rest of the state, even federally, what happens is
• 2:38:18
  Speaker 56: these politicians will introduce an unpopular law, and it will
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 56: get voted down, and they just keep reintroducing it again
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 56: and again and again until it gets passed. So my
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 56: solution to that is we need attempted tyranny laws. So
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 56: a politician can get up and say, oh, yeah, I
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 56: want to take everyone's guns away, and then everybody votes no,
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 56: and then we say, all right, now who wants to
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 56: vote to charge this guy with attempted tyranny? You know, first,
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 56: you know, offense could be like a $ 500, 000 fine, and
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 56: after that you go to jail for the rest of
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 56: your life.
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 1: They're following a principle actually started with the Savior, Jesus
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 1: Christ of Nazareth, who kept saying to the apostles who were,
• 2:38:52
  Speaker 1: you know, they were well-to-do men, but they were dense men. Again,
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 1: I say to you, again, I say to you, again,
• 2:38:58
  Speaker 1: I say to you, and They understand that if you
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 1: repeat something enough, it'll eventually get into people's heads and
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 1: they just keep coming and they just keep doing it.
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we get as far as attempted tyranny,
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 1: but there should be like, you know, maybe like a
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 1: five year moratorium, like a shut your mouth thing.
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 2: I'd be up for that.
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 56: Or you just get banned from working for the government. Like,
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 56: you can't be a politician anymore. You can't even work
• 2:39:23
  Speaker 56: for the post office.
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 6: You're just done.
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 2: Then you're going to go on skid row. What are
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 2: we going to do with them then? They've got no
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 2: talent otherwise.
• 2:39:32
  Speaker 56: You know, I think we'd be better off just hiring
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 56: the homeless people to.
• 2:39:35
  Speaker 6: Be our politicians. We've got them now and doing the
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 6: job right.
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 2: We couldn't do any worse. Oh, boy, I wish we
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 2: could continue this call. Thank you, Mike.
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 56: Thank you.
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you.

• 2:42:01
  Speaker 61: It's Hugh Hewitt here with Ken and Nick Tumalo, hosts
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 61: of Tumalo Financial Radio, Sundays on 94.9. Guys, why do
• 2:42:09
  Speaker 61: taxes get overlooked in retirement planning?
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 62: Because the tax code is so complicated. You look at it,
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 62: the 401k is pre-tax money. The Roth is tax-free. Your
• 2:42:17
  Speaker 62: non-retirement accounts are capital gains, dividends, and interest. Your Social
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 62: Security is taxed by provisional income. I'm giving you all
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 62: these things and you're probably already confused. That's why you
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 62: want to build out that two-month retirement checkup to see short, first,
• 2:42:29
  Speaker 62: long-term effects on these type of things.
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 35: Because you never know.
• 2:42:32
  Speaker 62: You might have been saving well in those 401ks, and
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 62: you might have a required minimum distribution issue at 73
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 62: or 75, depending on year of birth. So you really
• 2:42:40
  Speaker 62: don't want to look at it just on a one-year basis. Oh, yeah,
• 2:42:43
  Speaker 62: I'm going to do a Roth conversion this year. It's
• 2:42:45
  Speaker 62: going to take care of everything.
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 48: No.
• 2:42:47
  Speaker 62: Planning takes year over year on tax planning. You can't
• 2:42:50
  Speaker 62: just do it in one year.
• 2:42:51
  Speaker 63: Yeah, and one of the biggest things that we did
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 63: find with tax planning is especially for our listeners was
• 2:42:56
  Speaker 63: that it has to be done over multiple years to
• 2:42:58
  Speaker 63: actually gain an advantage. So it's not that simple where
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 63: you just make one change in one year. A lot
• 2:43:03
  Speaker 63: of times it's the planning piece of it. And when
• 2:43:05
  Speaker 63: we do our Tumor Financial Retirement Checkup, it actually looks
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 63: like a big spreadsheet and it shows the numbers over
• 2:43:10
  Speaker 63: a whole bunch of years. We like to go out 24,
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 63: even 30 years at times when we're projecting out. Because
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 63: if we can pick up on some of these tax
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 63: things and then start to implement strategies, then what we
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 63: can do is put in front of you, the listeners,
• 2:43:22
