  Speaker 1: Good morning Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Long Island and welcome
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to the very last Monday morning of October 2026. My
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: name is Annie and I will be in control for
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the first hour this morning. Friends, as we settle into
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: these opening minutes of a new week, I want to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: speak about three habits of character that keep people and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: communities steady when the weather turns uncertain, honesty, courage, and loyalty.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: These are not grand gestures reserved for history books. They
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: are the ordinary choices that decide whether a family, a workplace,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a town, or a larger shared life holds together or
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: slowly comes apart. Honesty is the foundation. It is the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: daily refusal to say one thing when we mean another,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: or to report events as we wish them to be
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: rather than as they are. In the small rooms of
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: ordinary life this looks unremarkable. Telling a customer the true
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: condition of a repair, admitting a mistake on a report
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: before it grows larger, correcting a story once we learn
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: it was incomplete. These acts cost something, time, pride, sometimes money,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: or standing, yet they preserve the possibility of trust. When
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: honesty thins, every conversation becomes a calculation. Neighbors stop relying
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: on one another's word. Colleagues begin to watch for hidden motives.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: The cost is not merely personal discomfort. It is the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: gradual loss of the common ground on which any lasting
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: cooperation rests. Honesty does not demand perfection. It demands the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: repeated preference for the accurate account over the convenient one.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Without that preference even the best intentions eventually fail, because
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: no one can build on a shifting foundation. Courage stands
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: next to honesty and makes it possible. Moral courage is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: not the absence of fear, it is the decision to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: act rightly while fear is still present. It appears most
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: often in quiet settings rather than dramatic ones. It is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the person who refuses to alter a record that no
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: supervisor will ever see. It is the colleague who speaks
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a necessary correction in a meeting when silence would be safer.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It is the neighbor who holds a difficult boundary because
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: yielding would harm others later. These moments rarely bring applause.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: They often bring isolation or inconvenience. Yet each one strengthens
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the person who chooses it and, over time, the circle
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: around them. A community in which such choices are common
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: becomes harder to mislead and harder to pressure. A community
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that abandons them discovers that the hard decisions have already
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: been made by whoever was willing to apply pressure. Courage
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of this kind does not announce itself with speeches. It
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: simply declines to step aside when stepping aside would be easier.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Here loyalty means steady fidelity to people and to purposes
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: larger than the next advantage. It is not blind attachment
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to a single person or a temporary mood. It is
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the willingness to remain engaged with family, colleagues, neighbors, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: shared responsibilities even when the work is unglamorous, even when
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: results disappoint, even when criticism is required. True loyalty includes
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the capacity to name what is wrong and still stay
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to repair it. When loyalty collapses into mere tribal preference,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: disagreement turns into enmity and ordinary cooperation becomes impossible. When
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: loyalty disappears altogether, people drift from one short-term convenience to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the next and the longer work of maintaining anything worthwhile
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is left unfinished. The middle path, honest criticism joined to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: continued commitment, is what allows relationships and institutions to weather
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: ordinary storms without fracturing or being abandoned. These three habits
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: reinforce one another. Honesty without courage remains unspoken. Courage without
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: honesty can become recklessness. Loyalty without either becomes empty allegiance.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Practiced together, they create a kind of quiet strength that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: does not depend on perfect conditions. They allow people to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: tell the truth, stand by it, and remain faithful to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: one another long enough for good outcomes to appear. In
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: homes this looks like parents and children who correct one
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: another without withdrawing. In workplaces it looks like teams that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: surface problems early and stay to solve them. In towns
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it looks like neighbors who disagree on particulars yet continue
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to maintain the common things that serve everyone, I challenge you,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: as these 60 minutes unfold and the week continues, to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: notice where these habits are already present and where they
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: need strengthening. Ask whether a difficult truth has been postponed
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: because the cost felt high. Ask whether a necessary stand
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: has been avoided because the room would grow quieter. Ask
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: whether a commitment has been set aside because a more
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: convenient path appeared. These questions are not reserved for exceptional circumstances.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They arise in ordinary Tuesdays and ordinary decisions. Answering them honestly,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and then acting, is how character is formed and how
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: shared life remains possible. The last Monday morning of October
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: will pass. Weather will change and the immediate concerns of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the day will claim attention. What will not pass is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the need for people who prefer the accurate to the convenient,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: who act rightly while fear is still present, and who
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: remain loyal to the people and purposes that make ordinary
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: life worth sustaining. The course ahead is shaped less by
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: distant forces than by the accumulated choices of those who
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: keep these habits. Let us keep them. It's time for
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: me to take a short break, but when we come
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: back the return of the Lee play.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Am I the only one? Here tonight, shaking my head
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and thinking something ain't right. Is it just me?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Am I losing my mind?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Am I standing on the edge of the end of time?
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Am I the only one?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Tell me I'm not. Who thinks they're taking all the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: good we got? I think I'm turning into my old man.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Am I the only one willing to bleed? Take a
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: bullet for being free. Screaming what the hell in my
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: TV for telling me, yeah, you're telling me that I'm
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the only one willing to fight for my love of
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the red.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: And white and the blue.

  Speaker 5: Am I the only.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: One not brainwashed? Making my way through the land of
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the lost. He sees it as it is and worries
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: about his kids as they try to undo all the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: things he did. Am I the only one who can't
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: take no more screaming?
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: If you don't.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Like it, there's a freaking door.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: This ain't the freedom we've been fighting for.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: It was something more. Yeah, it was something more.
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: Am I the only one.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Willing to fight for my love of the.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Red and white and the blue?

• 8:08
  Speaker 2: town near you. Watching the threads of old glory.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Come undone.

• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I can't be the only one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Am I the.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Only one who quits singing along every time.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: They play a Springsteen song?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Am I the only one.

• 19:29
  Speaker 35: Was that you playing? Oh, just a little something on
• 19:31
  Speaker 35: my own.
• 19:32
  Speaker 21: Oh, stop it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 16: You know what I want to hear.
• 19:34
  Speaker 36: No, I don't.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: You played it for her. You can play it for me.
• 19:37
  Speaker 16: Play it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: Yes, boss.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: It's time for a lead play on 94.9 News Now.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you all for spending some time
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: with me this Monday morning. Normally on Monday, the Voice
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of Freedom will replay the Lee Play. So what to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: do say we do that? Today's Lee Play will be
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Tony D and Bob Swick.
• 20:10
  Speaker 21: Let's start off with looking at a little bit about
• 20:14
  Speaker 21: nonprofits in Connecticut. I've been doing some research to tie
• 20:19
  Speaker 21: in a few things that we're going to want to
• 20:21
  Speaker 21: talk about this morning. Connecticut is a small state, as
• 20:25
  Speaker 21: we know, but did.
• 20:27
  Speaker 28: You realize, or listeners realized, The Internal Revenue Service lists
• 20:35
  Speaker 28: a mere 25,436 active tax-exempt organizations in the state, including 20,601 501c3s,
• 20:38
  Speaker 28: which are organizations you can.
• 20:40
  Speaker 21: Make a tax-deductible donation to.
• 20:43
  Speaker 37: These nonprofits reported roughly... $ 70 billion in revenue in their
• 21:05
  Speaker 37: 2024-25 filings. And what's interesting, which I think many of
• 21:12
  Speaker 37: us may realize, most of the hospitals in the state
• 21:16
  Speaker 37: of Connecticut are non-profits.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 21:19
  Speaker 21: If you can believe that. So if we... Eliminate the
• 21:26
  Speaker 21: big nonprofits, then we can look at something at an
• 21:28
  Speaker 21: organization like Yale University, which is technically a nonprofit, and
• 21:33
  Speaker 21: a few other organizations such as that. It's difficult to
• 21:38
  Speaker 21: actually get the figures as to how much the state
• 21:44
  Speaker 21: of Connecticut actually gives out to various nonprofits in the
• 21:49
  Speaker 21: state via Connecticut taxpayers' money. So... I believe very strongly,
• 21:56
  Speaker 21: we've talked about this before, if we really want to
• 22:01
  Speaker 21: address the affordability crisis in the state of Connecticut, I mean,
• 22:04
  Speaker 21: really try to address it, is there a way the
• 22:09
  Speaker 21: state could start investigating a little more clearly and a
• 22:13
  Speaker 21: little more closely where all this money that we really
• 22:18
  Speaker 21: don't know how much is actually going to these nonprofits
• 22:22
  Speaker 21: in the state What are they doing with the money?
• 22:25
  Speaker 21: Why are they spending it and where they're spending it,
• 22:28
  Speaker 21: so on and so forth? In other words, what programs
• 22:30
  Speaker 21: are they working on? What are they doing? What's going on?
• 22:36
  Speaker 21: And we've seen over the past couple of years some
• 22:38
  Speaker 21: major frauds take place with nonprofits and with money received
• 22:43
  Speaker 21: by these nonprofits, by the state of Connecticut, and from
• 22:47
  Speaker 21: their taxpayers. So what's going on with this? Why is
• 22:51
  Speaker 21: this not a major issue? And this campaign is something
• 22:56
  Speaker 21: I don't understand.
• 23:01
  Speaker 15: How can I put it? I've been around long enough
• 23:05
  Speaker 15: or perhaps too long to know that the only way
• 23:10
  Speaker 15: you're going to fix something like this is you've got
• 23:13
  Speaker 15: to take it to bare metal. I do tire of
• 23:17
  Speaker 15: people coming out and saying, well, We have, you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 15: common sense reforms or proposals or earmarks or whatever the
• 23:25
  Speaker 15: case may be. And any kind of management, any kind
• 23:31
  Speaker 15: of stewardship, any kind of oversight is, like I was
• 23:34
  Speaker 15: looking the other night at, you know, drug addiction charities.
• 23:38
  Speaker 15: And I forget the number, but it's like it's a
• 23:42
  Speaker 15: staggering amount of drug addiction charities. Each one of them
• 23:47
  Speaker 15: has very highly compensated people at the top of these
• 23:52
  Speaker 15: charities and they're redundant they're doing again again again again
• 23:57
  Speaker 15: and it's to the point of well why can't there
• 24:02
  Speaker 15: be one or two or five because how many executive
• 24:07
  Speaker 15: directors do you need how many heads of data processing
• 24:12
  Speaker 15: do you need And it is, you know, like multi-millions
• 24:16
  Speaker 15: of dollars, but like, heck, you know, we've got computers
• 24:19
  Speaker 15: these days. We've got AI. You know, we've got spreadsheets.
• 24:24
  Speaker 15: And the idea is when you have, you know, the
• 24:27
  Speaker 15: second thing as far as control is concerned, the more
• 24:31
  Speaker 15: items there are that you're, quote, unquote, dealing with, the
• 24:36
  Speaker 15: greater the propensity is that there is going to be
• 24:39
  Speaker 15: some screw-up along the way because you can't police it all.
• 24:42
  Speaker 15: You don't know what they're all doing. You don't have
• 24:45
  Speaker 15: any sort of oversight. So I think to your point,
• 24:48
  Speaker 15: it's like it's either you've got to fix the damn thing,
• 24:52
  Speaker 15: you've got to take it to bare metal, you've got
• 24:54
  Speaker 15: to say, hey, look, you've got to be totally transparent
• 24:58
  Speaker 15: with what you're doing because it cuts maybe two ways
• 25:01
  Speaker 15: or three ways, as we discussed. It's like, number one,
• 25:05
  Speaker 15: Our lovely legislature made it to where nonprofit organizations– I
• 25:09
  Speaker 15: was unfortunately educating a young man on this the other
• 25:13
  Speaker 15: day because he was rightfully horrified. And this is a
• 25:17
  Speaker 15: very well-purposed young man who does journalism work on his
• 25:22
  Speaker 15: own and wants to report the truth. And I told him,
• 25:24
  Speaker 15: I said, you know Sal, not his real name. that
• 25:27
  Speaker 15: the legislature made it so we can't FOIA a nonprofit
• 25:32
  Speaker 15: with our money. That's one thing. And the other thing
• 25:36
  Speaker 15: is that what goes on in the nonprofit, again, advanced CT.
• 25:40
  Speaker 15: You know, we talk Democrat, Republican. We're in campaign season. Well,
• 25:43
  Speaker 15: guess what? Democrats and Republicans are there together doing something
• 25:47
  Speaker 15: in advanced CT. We don't know what the hell it is.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: We have no idea.
• 25:50
  Speaker 15: You know, they're having meetings about public policy. We have
• 25:52
  Speaker 15: no idea. We have no thing. That's great. They're doing something.
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: cool with like international something or other. And the other
• 25:58
  Speaker 15: thing is, Bob, in this day and age, when you
• 26:03
  Speaker 15: can get stuff instantaneously, we don't have real-time dashboards. We
• 26:07
  Speaker 15: don't have, quote, unquote, a peep-eye into the future. And
• 26:13
  Speaker 15: to me, it's just this thing of, well, let's just
• 26:16
  Speaker 15: continue to do this. Let's just continue to raise people
• 26:19
  Speaker 15: on the high end. You want to go feed the hungry? Well,
• 26:23
  Speaker 15: you know, Connecticut Food Share, right? It's wonderful. You know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 15: Jason Jakubowski's making over $ 400, 000 a year. How do you
• 26:30
  Speaker 15: feel about that?
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: It's like, listen, I gave you 10 minutes.
• 26:35
  Speaker 21: It's a major problem, and it's a major issue. And
• 26:40
  Speaker 21: I agree with you to the extent that the amount
• 26:43
  Speaker 21: of duplication of services unknown to taxpayers.
• 26:47
  Speaker 28: So I'm a taxpayer.
• 26:49
  Speaker 21: I would like to know, okay, I'm paying X amount
• 26:52
  Speaker 21: of dollars in state income taxes, okay? I'm told there's
• 26:56
  Speaker 21: an affordability issue in the state of Connecticut. Yet I
• 26:59
  Speaker 21: find out the redundancy in many of these nonprofit organizations
• 27:05
  Speaker 21: reaches a point of no return so that it's a
• 27:09
  Speaker 21: cash cow. And is it a cash cow just to
• 27:13
  Speaker 21: pay off the politically connected? I really believe it in
• 27:17
  Speaker 21: a very, very large way that this is just an
• 27:20
  Speaker 21: extension of the Democratic Party and, to a certain extent,
• 27:23
  Speaker 21: the Republican Party, and that we have to pay back
• 27:25
  Speaker 21: our favors. We will create these nonprofits. You will have
• 27:29
  Speaker 21: your executive position at $ 110, 000, $ 120, 000, $ 400, 000. Pick a number
• 27:32
  Speaker 21: out of the sky. Whatever you want, you get. And
• 27:37
  Speaker 21: then with the rest of the money, you know, you
• 27:39
  Speaker 21: go forge for whatever... help you're going to give whoever,
• 27:44
  Speaker 21: the drug addict, the person who's starving, so on and
• 27:47
  Speaker 21: so forth. It's just so unjust. It's such a ripoff
• 27:53
  Speaker 21: of the Connecticut taxpayer. It's not even funny. And again,
• 27:57
  Speaker 21: here's the situation where taxpayers are being impacted in one
• 28:02
  Speaker 21: of the highest PAC states in the country, and yet
• 28:05
  Speaker 21: there is absolutely zero discussion on it. In the campaign,
• 28:09
  Speaker 21: with the exception of probably you and I talking about
• 28:12
  Speaker 21: it on the show right now.
• 28:14
  Speaker 15: I would believe that's correct. In my observation of the, hey,
• 28:19
  Speaker 15: let's do warts and all. In my observation of the
• 28:22
  Speaker 15: Fauzio campaign, I am interested and impressed with some of
• 28:29
  Speaker 15: the things. But you have this gaping hole, this gaping sore.
• 28:34
  Speaker 15: This gaping nonsense of, you know, what Ross Perot used
• 28:37
  Speaker 15: to talk about, the giant sucking sound. And all this
• 28:41
  Speaker 15: money is just going to all these things. We don't
• 28:44
  Speaker 15: know what the hell they're doing. We have no idea.
• 28:47
  Speaker 15: We don't know. And this is the whole thing. If
• 28:50
  Speaker 15: we're helping people, okay, yes, it is wrong to leave
• 28:54
  Speaker 15: those on the side of the road and just let them,
• 28:57
  Speaker 15: you know, just let them be there. But we seem
• 28:59
  Speaker 15: to have more of them. And you say, well, we're
• 29:01
  Speaker 15: spending more and we're getting more.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: We're not.
• 29:04
  Speaker 15: What is the positive result from the additional spending? It's
• 29:09
  Speaker 15: very clearly going the other way. So then you've got
• 29:12
  Speaker 15: to say to yourself, Bob, hey, look, you know, I'm
• 29:14
  Speaker 15: spending more, I'm getting less. What is wrong with this picture?
• 29:18
  Speaker 15: We never have that analysis. What we do get is, oh,
• 29:22
  Speaker 15: we don't want to stop people from being helped. No,
• 29:26
  Speaker 15: we don't. But who are we helping? That's really my
• 29:29
  Speaker 15: whole thing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 21: Well, we don't. We don't know who we're helping because
• 29:33
  Speaker 21: it's not disclosed, number one. Number two, is there any
• 29:37
  Speaker 21: parallel and is there any direct correlation? between the amount
• 29:41
  Speaker 21: of money being spent on nonprofits in the state of
• 29:44
  Speaker 21: Connecticut for duplication of services that is adding to the
• 29:48
  Speaker 21: state unfunded short and long-term debt of $ 100 to $ 150 billion?
• 29:53
  Speaker 21: That's just a simplistic question to ask in this campaign.
• 29:58
  Speaker 21: Can any candidate tell me or tell any taxpayer in
• 30:02
  Speaker 21: the state of Connecticut, okay, I think we're overspending on nonprofits.
• 30:06
  Speaker 21: I think we really need to have a Department of
• 30:08
  Speaker 21: Governmental Efficiency for the state of Connecticut to start to
• 30:12
  Speaker 21: examine all these different nonprofits, all these different departments, all
• 30:18
  Speaker 21: these different spending schemes that seem to just come out
• 30:21
  Speaker 21: of nowhere. We need to start examining them because maybe...
• 30:27
  Speaker 21: This is contributing to the excessive amount of spending of
• 30:32
  Speaker 21: $ 28 billion a year in a state budget that the
• 30:35
  Speaker 21: state of Connecticut spends. It could be, possibly, Tony, could
• 30:41
  Speaker 21: be possibly causing why the state has one of the
• 30:44
  Speaker 21: highest tax rates in the country, taxation in the country,
• 30:48
  Speaker 21: why you're spending so much and why your debt is
• 30:50
  Speaker 21: so high. Can anybody rationally understand that? That statement I
• 30:56
  Speaker 21: just made, I really.
• 30:57
  Speaker 38: Would like to know.
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: It would stand to reason that if a, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 15: if you want to go Old Testament, be it declared
• 31:08
  Speaker 15: and decreed that here and after forever, you do not
• 31:12
  Speaker 15: get one red plug nickel for your nonprofit unless you
• 31:16
  Speaker 15: agree to real-time disclosure of full-time monitoring and show everybody
• 31:24
  Speaker 15: what you're doing. And why should you get anything? This
• 31:29
  Speaker 15: is me. This is the standard I'm held to every
• 31:32
  Speaker 15: single day. And I say, well, if little old me
• 31:34
  Speaker 15: could be held to this standard, why can't the freaking government? Like,
• 31:39
  Speaker 15: if you can't account for every single thing that you're doing,
• 31:42
  Speaker 15: why do you deserve anything? When I looked at the
• 31:45
  Speaker 15: tax returns, I probably was the first person, not that
• 31:50
  Speaker 15: this makes me wonderful, but it's the first place I look,
• 31:53
  Speaker 15: when they started dissecting the tax returns of Blue Hill
• 31:57
  Speaker 15: Civic and some of these other things, the Yukon Foundation, gee,
• 32:00
  Speaker 15: what is a $ 90 million investment in the Horse Barn
• 32:03
  Speaker 15: Hill Investment Fund doing in the Cayman Islands? Oh, that's
• 32:06
  Speaker 15: just something they invested in a bunch of horses carrying on.
• 32:09
  Speaker 15: You know, and it's like, well, When you've got 70%
• 32:13
  Speaker 15: to 80% of your whatever you want to call it,
• 32:17
  Speaker 15: your vig, your take, whatever it is, administrative, salary, and
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: all the other stuff, and all the whatever you want
• 32:26
  Speaker 15: to say, the other benefits that you're getting, 25% of
• 32:28
  Speaker 15: that maybe is reaching you. The people that are there,
• 32:32
  Speaker 15: you're way off the charity navigator barometers. And it's like, hey,
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: you know, which is the operative question, Bob? Okay, I'm
• 32:42
  Speaker 15: holding my hand up to the people on Rumble Hall.
• 32:45
  Speaker 15: If you're going to, if we're going to clean house
• 32:48
  Speaker 15: in Connecticut government, because we need our house cleaned. um
• 32:52
  Speaker 15: what is going to change there what will the world
• 32:55
  Speaker 15: change there why can't we say we're going to have
• 32:57
  Speaker 15: a brand new day we're going to have sunlight you
• 32:59
  Speaker 15: know sunlight is the best disinfectant and we're going to
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: clean the whole thing out because we ain't going to
• 33:04
  Speaker 15: be saving anything if we're just pouring money down holes
• 33:07
  Speaker 15: to these redundant salaries to these things to these people
• 33:09
  Speaker 15: that do and the sad thing is the people aren't
• 33:13
  Speaker 15: getting help now Other people will say that the, how
• 33:18
  Speaker 15: can I put it, this whole thing is, I had
• 33:22
  Speaker 15: a very good discussion about this with actually Betsy McCoy,
• 33:25
  Speaker 15: and she said, you know, this is really a way
• 33:27
  Speaker 15: of feeding your cronies and basically buying votes because your
• 33:30
  Speaker 15: cronies can hire more people. And, I mean, she was there.
• 33:33
  Speaker 15: She's absolutely right. But it's like, hey, you know, this
• 33:39
  Speaker 15: just is, what's proposed is not enough, and it's not
• 33:43
  Speaker 15: helping anybody.
• 33:45
  Speaker 21: And to your point, I agree 110% with what you're saying.
• 33:50
  Speaker 21: Let's look at food insecurity in the state of Connecticut,
• 33:54
  Speaker 21: and let's look at drug addiction in the state of Connecticut.
• 33:58
  Speaker 21: I really don't see a great improvement in the amount
• 34:02
  Speaker 21: of demand that people in the state theoretically have for
• 34:08
  Speaker 21: free food. Okay, so there's something inherently wrong with your economy.
• 34:14
  Speaker 21: your state economy, to have this many people needing food
• 34:18
  Speaker 21: assistance on a regular basis, nothing ever changes with it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 21: The programs get expanded more and more, and like you say,
• 34:28
  Speaker 21: there's no resolution to the problem. Drug addiction is the
• 34:31
  Speaker 21: same problem, the same issue. You're not reading about it
• 34:35
  Speaker 21: as much in the state-run media because they can cover it,
• 34:42
  Speaker 21: But at the same time, a major issue in addressing.
• 34:47
  Speaker 21: You're going to throw more money in it. Let's create
• 34:49
  Speaker 21: a couple more nonprofits. Let's get more food out to
• 34:52
  Speaker 21: people because they need it. Well, okay, why do they
• 34:55
  Speaker 21: need that food? What is the inherent problem? Is it
• 34:58
  Speaker 21: a lack of jobs? Is it an affordability crisis because
• 35:02
  Speaker 21: taxes are too high? So on and so forth.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: What's the problem?
• 35:07
  Speaker 21: I'd like an answer. to what the actual problem is
• 35:11
  Speaker 21: and what you are doing, government is doing to resolve it,
• 35:15
  Speaker 21: not just like, well, we have this, this, and this,
• 35:17
  Speaker 21: and that's it. Okay, well, so what are the results?
• 35:22
  Speaker 28: It's really problematic.
• 35:23
  Speaker 21: And again, to me, it was a golden opportunity this
• 35:26
  Speaker 21: entire campaign on both sides of the aisle to dialogue
• 35:30
  Speaker 21: this nonstop. Find out why is Connecticut in the economic
• 35:36
  Speaker 21: doldrums that it's in? Why are so many people in
• 35:39
  Speaker 21: need in the state? I thought the Democrats were advertising
• 35:43
  Speaker 21: left and right, how great the state is, how economically
• 35:47
  Speaker 21: vibrant the state is, how, you know, people are dying
• 35:50
  Speaker 21: to get into the state.
• 35:52
  Speaker 39: Come on.
• 35:54
  Speaker 21: What goes? You know, what is truth here? Or are
• 35:58
  Speaker 21: the lies the truth again, and truth are lies? It's
• 36:01
  Speaker 21: more like that in my opinion.
• 36:03
  Speaker 15: I want to see a citizen doge. And I'm sure
• 36:06
  Speaker 15: people are, you know, I'm sure tires are squealing off
• 36:09
  Speaker 15: the freeway and coffee cups are flying and that sort
• 36:12
  Speaker 15: of thing. But it's like, I look at it twofold.
• 36:15
  Speaker 15: Number one, it's our money. And number two, could citizens
• 36:20
  Speaker 15: possibly screw it up any worse than politicians had? I mean,
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: it's like, okay, I want to declare myself as, you know, whatever,
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: Grand High Mystic Exalted Ruler of the state of Connecticut. One,
• 36:33
  Speaker 15: a period of time, put it all out there. Let
• 36:36
  Speaker 15: us all see it. Let us all report. Give us
• 36:39
  Speaker 15: a way to report. I mean, it's like you want
• 36:43
  Speaker 15: it fixed. This is what you had to do. Why
• 36:45
  Speaker 15: do we keep fighting fires with a water pistol? This
• 36:48
  Speaker 15: is my contribution.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: In the morning.
• 36:50
  Speaker 21: Well, the issue of a citizen's doge is that it's
• 36:56
  Speaker 21: going to be damning to the Democratic Party, it's going
• 36:59
  Speaker 21: to be damning to the Republican Party, it's going to
• 37:01
  Speaker 21: be damning to those politically connected in the state. It's
• 37:06
  Speaker 21: going to really open taxpayers' eyes and say, why the
• 37:11
  Speaker 21: heck are we spending money on this or that or
• 37:14
  Speaker 21: this or that? What is wrong with these people? And
• 37:17
  Speaker 21: I think that's the biggest fear of any elected official,
• 37:22
  Speaker 21: is to really examine, tear apart, Line by line, dollar
• 37:28
  Speaker 21: by dollar, where does the state come up with spending
• 37:32
  Speaker 21: $ 28 billion a year? Where does the state come up
• 37:36
  Speaker 21: with increasing spending by an excessive 400% since the state
• 37:41
  Speaker 21: income tax? And what is being shown for all this spending?
• 37:48
  Speaker 21: You're in the bottom feeder for business development. You're one
• 37:51
  Speaker 21: of the highest taxed states in the country. You've got
• 37:53
  Speaker 21: social problems galore. You've got a crime problem that's unyielding.
• 37:59
  Speaker 21: And what are you showing with all this spending? So
• 38:02
  Speaker 21: the citizens group, in my opinion, would probably do a
• 38:07
  Speaker 21: heck of a better job than any state agency trying
• 38:09
  Speaker 21: to govern itself, number one. And number two, it would
• 38:13
  Speaker 21: really show and probably put in very, very basic verbiage
• 38:20
  Speaker 21: so that it's very understandable to the taxpayer This money's
• 38:23
  Speaker 21: going for this. This nonprofit is using 90% of the
• 38:27
  Speaker 21: state money for administrative costs. Only 10 cents on every
• 38:31
  Speaker 21: dollar they get actually goes to the problem they're trying
• 38:34
  Speaker 21: to resolve. The taxpayer then says, okay, why are we
• 38:38
  Speaker 21: spending this much money? What's the point of it? The
• 38:42
  Speaker 21: problem's not getting corrected. What, are we just in the
• 38:46
  Speaker 21: business to employ politically connected people? Is that what nonprofits
• 38:50
  Speaker 21: are developed for in the state of Connecticut. And again,
• 38:55
  Speaker 21: don't get me wrong, there are many, many legitimate nonprofits
• 38:58
  Speaker 21: in the state of Connecticut that actually do their job
• 39:01
  Speaker 21: and are helping the people or the groups they're trying
• 39:05
  Speaker 21: to help, so on and so forth. But again, why
• 39:09
  Speaker 21: does the head of Connecticut Food Bank, in a state
• 39:12
  Speaker 21: that supposedly we just hear about food insecurity, food insecurity,
• 39:17
  Speaker 21: and he's making over $ 400, 000 a year?
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 39:20
  Speaker 38: Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: And this is the whole thing.
• 39:26
  Speaker 15: Delivery in any kind of business, I don't care what
• 39:29
  Speaker 15: you're in, if you're in manufacturing, you're in service, you're
• 39:32
  Speaker 15: in government, how is success measured? Success is measured by
• 39:36
  Speaker 15: delivery of the good product to the end user. Let's
• 39:42
  Speaker 15: just say this was the beloved domestic automobile companies, and
• 39:48
  Speaker 15: if I had great administrative processes and great manufacturing and
• 39:52
  Speaker 15: great research and whatever, but if I can't get a
• 39:55
  Speaker 15: working vehicle to the guy at the end who needs
• 39:58
  Speaker 15: a damn truck so he can go to work, what
• 40:00
  Speaker 15: the hell good is it, frankly? That's my point.
• 40:04
  Speaker 21: And again, that is the point to try to really
• 40:08
  Speaker 21: pick apart finally and say, you're not doing your job.
• 40:11
  Speaker 21: This nonprofit is nonfunctional. This nonprofit is politically, it's just
• 40:16
  Speaker 21: a political connection and that's it. And why are we
• 40:20
  Speaker 21: supporting it? We're supporting it because we have to, because
• 40:23
  Speaker 21: that's the rule of the Connecticut political system. And that's
• 40:30
  Speaker 21: what's inherently wrong with our state budget and our state
• 40:34
  Speaker 21: government right now. So since Doge comes in and really
• 40:39
  Speaker 21: opens the eyes of a lot of people on both
• 40:41
  Speaker 21: sides and opens the eyes of the independent voter at
• 40:45
  Speaker 21: the same time and say, hey, why are we doing this?
• 40:47
  Speaker 21: This doesn't make any sense.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Bob and Tony. My time this morning is over.

• 50:43
  Speaker 4: to you live. This glorious... Wait a minute. Let me
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: think about it. It's not Saturday morning. It's Monday morning,
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: October the 26th. And folks, if you hear my voice
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: a little rugged, it's because... In the last couple of days,
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: I was yelling on top of my lungs for a friend,
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: a good guy, for his campaign. I don't know if
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: we can say the name, but I am 100% Team 20,
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: except I can't vote for him. But having known him
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: for over, I want to say maybe almost 20 years,
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Having known his family, he's a good man. And he is,
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: let's put it this way, he's much more generous than
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: I would be. He's a really open person, lets people speak.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: So anyways, Team 20 all the way. our good friend,
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: the voice of freedom, which, by the way, apparently the
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: opponent hates freedom. You mean to tell me I came
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: from another continent, another culture, another weather pattern? I mean,
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: if you've been to Naples, Italy, you know, we can
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: go to the beach. I went in the water when
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: I was a young man in November. November. I came
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: all the way to the United States to speak a
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: foreign language to not have freedom? Is that even conceivable? Oh,
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: because freedom is chaos. It's chaos. I said it in Italian.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: Chaos is in Italian.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: Chaos.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: It's biblical. If you read the scripture, the scripture will...
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: Jesus will set you free. Set me free. Freedom. It
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: should be our core belief in any elected official or
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: anybody that's running for office that does not believe in freedom.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: They're not fit to be in charge of anything. That's
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: my opinion. How we doing? How we starting off? It's
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: only a couple minutes. Hang in there. Two hours. It
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: was a last-minute ask, and as I mentioned many times,
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: when a friend all my life, not just in this case,
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: but all my life, if a friend asks for a favor,
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: and I can do it. Now, if I can't do it,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: I say, I'm sorry, I can't. But if I am
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: asked to do a favor, and I can do it,
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: I am there, and that's it. There is no accounting there. Yeah,
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: but I did you a favor. Now you owe me
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: a favor. Never.
• 53:54
  Speaker 52: Never.
• 53:56
  Speaker 22: Why?
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: Because God is in control. If I can do something good,
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: do it. If you can, just do it. Forget about it.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: It's not forgotten. Believe me. Talking about friends and favors,
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: this is not the case of a favor, but my
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: good friend Paolo said, We are from the same town.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: That is a remarkable, again, another coincidence. My friend Paolo
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: on Columbus Day had major, major surgery. I'm not going
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: to go into details. But just a few days ago,
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: we spoke.
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: He's home.
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: Amazing. He's probably six months younger than I. So things
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: at our age happen. By the way, something happened to me.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Don't you cry. It's all good. It's all good. We're
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: part of God's plan. So, of course, with Roberto, Luigi, Pasquale,
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: we're all from the same little town. Well, outskirts of Naples.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: So he was at Yale New Haven for a couple weeks.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: We went there a couple of times, or at least
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: I have. They've probably been there more often. But it's
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: a thrill to know that you go through this major,
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: major something and you're back home and you're on the amend.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: So my shout out to Paolo, my good friend. And
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: we'll start. We'll have to hang out again soon. So
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: what shall we talk about? By the way, call in, 860-464-9490.
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: Or send an email, rockyradioshow at gmail.com. When there's sign
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: waving and stuff, most of the conservative are very well-mannered,
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: very composed. Yes, they smile, they wave, but here comes Rocky.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: And I was just, I'm loud. I'm proud. And I
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: have a big mouth. I was born with it. And
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: I whistle all the time. They used to call me
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: Whistle on ships. I can whistle a whole opera.
• 56:36
  Speaker 53: Oh, no.
• 56:38
  Speaker 28: Can you?
• 56:39
  Speaker 54: Yes.
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: Something is fidgety.
• 56:48
  Speaker 16: Are you there?
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: Am I on? Okay, we're having a little dispute with
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: the microphone.
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: Folks, it's all good.
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: Please, nobody's perfect. Are you all perfect? Because I ain't.
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: I ain't perfect. Raise your hands if you're perfect. Oh,
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to I don't mean to
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: put in question Carla Marks. Can I say Carla Marks?
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: Or is that— is Carla Marks saying Carla Marks is more
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: offensive than calling a good man an honorable man, a
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: family man, call him an a-hole?
• 57:27
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't use that kind of— even when
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: I blast the elected official in Norwich, I have never
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: been so disrespectful.
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: Never.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: That's really rude.
• 57:45
  Speaker 21: And....
• 57:51
  Speaker 16: And, uh.
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: So, anyways, I have my style, and let's go just
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: to calm me down, and I can... Yes, coach, you're...
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: Good morning, you're on the air.
• 58:01
  Speaker 55: Rock, I'm at the gym fighting a never-ending battle against
• 58:04
  Speaker 55: Mama Luke's, Grenudes, and Incantats.
• 58:08
  Speaker 8: But I heard you, and I wanted to comment... Now,
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: did you see that story about the guy from Norwich,
• 58:13
  Speaker 8: the drug dealer?
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't see it.
• 58:15
  Speaker 55: He got caught with 25 pounds of cocaine.
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 58:19
  Speaker 21: Previous to that, he'd been.
• 58:20
  Speaker 8: On trial for manslaughter.
• 58:21
  Speaker 55: He got off on a technicality.
• 58:24
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 58:24
  Speaker 55: If you read the story in the paper.
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: Which I don't.
• 58:29
  Speaker 8: The guy was guilty, and he got.
• 58:32
  Speaker 38: Of course.
• 58:32
  Speaker 55: On some minuscule or obscure.
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: That guy ought to be in jail.
• 58:38
  Speaker 55: He shouldn't have the chance to be out.
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: So what are you saying? The only business that's flourishing
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: in Norwich is 25 pounds of cocaine?
• 58:48
  Speaker 55: Yeah, can you imagine rocking out two pounds, 25 pounds
• 58:50
  Speaker 55: of cocaine?
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: Wow. How much is that worth, do you know? Hundreds
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: of thousands.
• 58:57
  Speaker 21: Millions. Wow.
• 58:58
  Speaker 55: And you know what? Whoever his supplier was, he's probably
• 59:03
  Speaker 55: safer in jail because they'll probably go after him.
• 59:05
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't read it.
• 59:08
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: But so you're... But listen.
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 59:11
  Speaker 28: I'm starting to move it.
• 59:12
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 59:13
  Speaker 8: I'm supposed to chat to move it. We want you
• 59:16
  Speaker 8: back on.
• 59:16
  Speaker 55: The air full time.
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: Not two hours.
• 59:19
  Speaker 27: Wow.
• 59:20
  Speaker 55: You know, Sal, he's a paisan, Sal Sinardi, you know,
• 59:22
  Speaker 55: good guy.
• 59:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: We need.
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: He's from Plainfield. Nothing against Plainfield, but... We want to
• 59:28
  Speaker 8: rock for the whole three hours.
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: Coach, just be careful what you ask for because I
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: am talking to John Fuller something in the evening maybe because,
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: you know, our good pal is doing great. By the way,
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: next week, I believe it's next Wednesday maybe. Folks, are
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: we going to throw a party or something next Wednesday?
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: Please be prepared to call the number because somebody, some
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: good guy is going to be back on the air
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: One way.
• 59:59
  Speaker 16: Or the other.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: Listen, Rock, I want you to talk to my doctor.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 55: Emilio Tumaselli.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 55: He says he probably ought to take a couple shots
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 55: of grappa for that throat of yours.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 21: You'll be all right.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: You know what? That'd be a great idea.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 55: A couple shots of grappa, maybe some soup with the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 55: passatellis in it.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 35: Yeah.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 8: But you take care of yourself.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 36: Thank you.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 55: If you see the former host.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 8: Yes. Give him my regards.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Coach. Always a pleasure. Coach Leo Facchini. I
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: don't know why they get Fuccini, but it's Facchini. Trust me.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: I speak Italian. So, folks. Wow. I was just informed
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: that 25 pounds of cocaine is worth $ 300, 000.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 27: Wow.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: Norwich is rich. What am I complaining about? Maybe this
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: guy should be on the council because at least he's
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: got something to sell for 300 grand. You got to
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: be kidding me. Folks, it can't get worse. It can't.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: We can't. We are subjects to shenanigans that are so.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: Unbelievable unacceptable they are in charge and they mess everything
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: they touch including our illustrious governor he's another beauty everything
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: is great everything is great Connecticut is great did you
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: feel the cold this morning I did It's cold and
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: we're holding on, holding off, turning the heat on. You
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: understand these people should be ashamed of themselves. They are
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: in charge time after time after time and we are
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: struggling and they don't care. So when somebody not totally
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: connected to a political party one way or the other
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: runs for office like I did four years ago, exactly
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: four years ago. Guess what? The machine, even the Republican machine,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: are not that excited because guess what? I'm going to
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: predict something. By the grace of God, if number 20 wins,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: within a few months, they're not going to like him.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: Ha ha ha!
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: They're not going to like him because they're going to say,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: you're going to start saying this. You should say that.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: You got to be there.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 21: You got to.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 7: Go along with this.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: And he ain't going to do it. Trust me, he's not.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: I still wish him well, and I wish him a win,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: but I know the man. And if you give him
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: a whole bunch of compliments, he's not going to be
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: like a little weenie in Norwich, Connecticut or New London.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 52: He's not.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: It's not working. It's not going to work. Oh, and
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: if you want to bribe him with food and drinks,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: he don't eat either.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: I've been to parties with the, you know, 94.9 crowd.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: He doesn't drink. He doesn't eat. When we have these 94.9,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: we had them in the past, and many of you listener,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: I've been to one of these parties. Where's the food?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: I go there right away. So hang on. Hang on
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: to your seat, political machine. You know all those beautiful
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: creative AI designs that he's lifting the wall, a brick,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: a humongous structure with people on it? Yeah, that's the idea.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: I love it. Let me put it this way. If
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: number 20 wins, most likely we're going to move to Eastline.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: Because what's the point? I'm almost not welcomed in Norwich.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: Having been there since I came to Italy. Look how
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: God's in his majestic design. From Naples, Italy to Norwich, Connecticut.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: God, the almighty God, has a sense of humor. He
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: looked at me one day and said, oh, you think
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: you're cute?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 16: Oh, sure.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: Officer's uniform on a cruise ship? Don't worry. I got
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: a place for you. Norwich, Connecticut. I've been all over
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: the world. I sailed five of the seven seas. And Norwich,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: Connecticut is my landing place. Oh, well, let's take a,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: we should, we're going to take a break. Folks, we'll
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: be right back.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: There were nights I sat in the dark alone With
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: a heart so heavy it felt like stone Trying to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: smile when I was falling apart.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: Holding together a shattered heart.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: I had pain I never knew how to say.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: So I carried it deeper every day.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: And the more I fought just to stay okay, the
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: more it felt like I was slipping away.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: Bills on the table, fear in my chest. Too much pressure,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: too little rest.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: I kept telling everybody I'd be fine while quietly losing
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: my mind.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 21: And I swear there were moments I was done.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: Too tired to fight, too weak to run.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: But right when I thought I'd hit the.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: End, God stepped in again when I had no strength
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: left in these hands. When I couldn't even understand how
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: I was still breathing through the ache.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: That's when I knew.

  Speaker 10: The brilliance of the 45th president of the united states
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: donald j trump shows.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 35: In michigan tonight we're doing so many great rallies. I
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 35: think we're going to surprise so many people. We're going
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 35: to win like nobody's ever seen before. We're asking Ethan
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 35: Musk to use his Starman, you know, and his Tulsa
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 35: and all his companies to do great things for our voting,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 35: for our people, for our machines, our great voting machines.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 35: But Tonight I was like, it's Michigan, and I think
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 35: people in Michigan, they don't like how much I've been
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 35: talking about John Husted's beautiful, gorgeous, round, shapely, muscular ass.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 35: And so Michigan tonight has come out with the lovely
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 35: and the beautiful, and I'm totally not racist because she's
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 35: a black, Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj. Hello. Minaj a toi?
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 35: That's Spanish for give me a number three meal. But
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 35: she is a beauty. She's a strong Trump supporter. And
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 35: she's got some derriere on her. That'll give John Husted
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 35: a run for his money in terms of ass. You know,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 35: I was talking to an administrative assistant of war. He
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 35: doesn't like secretary because it's feminine, but a very straight, powerful,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 35: heterosexual Christian, Pete Hegseth, great warrior. And we were both
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 35: admiring him. Nicki Minaj, it was booty. The blacks for Trump,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 35: they say, you got to say booty, sir. You got
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 35: to say booty. And I said, you know, Melatonin's son, Barton,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 35: he's a kid. He likes pirates booty. And I said, well, that's,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 35: you know, it's the LGBTQK and BA2K26. And they said, no, sir,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 35: it's a snack. It's a snack. It's not, he doesn't
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 35: actually go have sexual intercourse. relations with the booties of pirates.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 35: And I said, okay, well, just check.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 8: You know, you've got to check.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 35: You don't know what the schools are teaching. You send
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 35: your kid to school, he's a straight kid eating snacks.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 35: The next thing you know, all these schools run by
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 35: left-wing radical lunatics are bringing in pirates right from the ship,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 35: and they're bending over and saying, eat my booty. And
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 35: you have to do it. You have to do it.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 35: That's what they make you do in the radical left schools.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 35: But Hegstaff and I, we both looked at Nicki Minaj
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 35: as Powerful, straight, not racist Christians. And we looked at
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 35: our booty and we said, you know, that booty is
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 35: so nice. I would love to sit on it while

• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: Audience.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: Rocky is back with very little voice, but a lot
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: of passion and a lot of hope for the future. Folks,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: just last week we went to see, at the Shoreline Church,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: we went to see young Washington. And what what the
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: left wants us is trying their best to do away
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: with our history. Because if you watch Young Washington or
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: any historical documentary, or if you read, if you really,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: really dig into the history of men and women that
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: came from another country, another continent, another culture, and came
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: to this country to enjoy freedom, freedom of religion, freedom
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: of speech, freedom of oppression, freedom from wickedness. They came
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: here to do something better, something unheard of. In George Washington,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: this was the story of young Washington, but eventually, after...
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: Defeating the British Empire. Imagine 13 colonies defeated the British Empire. Mr.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 4: George Washington, General George Washington, could have put a crown
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: on his head. Physically, could have put a crown on
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 4: his head like Napoleon, the little man in France, did today.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 4: And he declared himself an emperor. George Washington could have
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: done it, but he chose not to. That's the caliber
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: of a man I want to look up to. Not
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 4: these little wincy, little insignificant, little midgets, little— what do you
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: call them? Invertebrates. They got no spines. They agree with everybody. Ah!
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: vote for me, like the little man in Norwich. Oh
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: my gosh, I can't wait. By the grace of the
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: living God, if we can register a win on the
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: 20th district, it would be unheard of. And the powers
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: in Hartford, Connecticut will be shaken on both sides of
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: the aisle. That would be the beauty. And that's why,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: by the way, but I'm not going to get into
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 4: it right now, but that's why I wasn't asked again.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: An old veteran, a few months after the election, four
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: years ago, an old veteran leaned into me and said, Rocky,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: they're not going to ask you to run again because
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: they found out You can't be controlled. And like a
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: light bulb, you know when you flick the switch on
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: the wall and your light goes on? Like a light
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: bulb came to me. He's right. He's an old, he's
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 4: this guy who's an old timer. Vietnam veteran, he's probably
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: 85 years old. Lean in very carefully, Rocky. They're not
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: gonna ask you because they found out you can't be controlled.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 4: They don't want you. They want people that they can control.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: Who are they? The losers. The inept. They call themselves
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: big shots. They haven't accomplished nothing. Many of them, nothing.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: So when you see a movie like George Washington and
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: you realize that all our lives... There is a common thread,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: a common theme. By the way, how coincidental. Lee Elsie's
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: jersey number was 20. You can't make this stuff up.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: There's old pictures somewhere of him in the field with
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: the baseball, you know, swinging the bat. Number 20. It's
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 4: just remarkable. It's remarkable. And I don't know how many
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 4: of you in my over past 11 years on a
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: Saturday morning, sometimes I share the story. Lielce used to
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: be on a local station before 94.9 was ever started.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 4: And I used to call it, I used to listen
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 4: to it all day, every day, because it used to
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: be Rush Limbaugh would be on. And I loved, I
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: learned so much from Rush Limbaugh. So one day, Lealcy
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 4: goes on the air after Rush Limbaugh, and I call
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: in from time to time. Maybe it's my accent. Maybe
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: it was what I was saying. But I say, hey,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: come in and stop by sometimes. I want to meet you.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 4: So one day, I'm in the neighborhood. I stop by.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: I meet him. My name is Pietro. And he goes,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: like some people say, Pietro, Petro. He says, well, yeah,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: I know. It's a little difficult. He said, well, what
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: would you rather me call you? I said, I don't know.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: He looks at me. And the first word out of
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: his mouth was, how about Rocky? And I stepped back
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: a little bit, reaction to something amazing. Because he didn't
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 4: even realize Rocky means rock. Pietro means stone. I didn't
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: change my name. You know how sometimes a movie star, singers,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: they change, it sounds better. Sometimes they change the name altogether.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: Rocky is my name in a different English format. And
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: I'm grateful for his, I don't know that he even
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: realized it, but that's my stage name. That's my radio name,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 4: which is my own name. So it's Pietro Rocky Camardella.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 4: How do you like that? For all the naysayer, for
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: all the wicked people that I am confronting on a
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 4: timely basis, God intervenes on our behalf. Can you handle it?
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: Can you stand against tyranny? Carla Marks stated... Please understand,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 4: I have freedom of speech. To me, she's Carla Marks.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 4: I don't like freedom because it brings chaos. Freedom, if
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: we are not free to speak, if we are not
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: free to think, if we are not free to walk,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 4: what are we doing here? You understand that we are
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 4: made in God's image. And that's why I read from
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 4: Torrington several months ago. I didn't know this phrase, but
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: it's like I tattooed it on my heart. If you
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 4: open my chest and see my heart, this phrase will
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: be tattooed on my heart. You'll read it. To rebel
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 4: to tyrants is to obey God. I believe it's James Madison.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: Please check it out. While we're at it, 860- 464-9490.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: RockyRadioShow at gmail.com. In other words, we are commended to
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: stand against tyrants because tyrants are not godly. You see,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 4: when I go to Norwich, the city council, they're tyrants.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: They're bullies. Yes, including the little man who happens to be,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: not really, but Republican. He's a little man. He's a nobody. Demands,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: calls on cops. Sworn police officer armed with guns and
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: tasers and handcuffs to remove a citizen for not even
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: breaking their rules. How do you like that? Check it
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: out on YouTube. August 19, 2024. City Council of Norwich.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: I don't want to comply with tyrants. I don't want
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: to give my name and my address, which, by the way,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 4: they all know me. All of them. Their portraits, the
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: city council portraits and the mayor's portraits since 1986. By
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 4: the way, they don't hire me anymore. They haven't hired
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 4: me in a couple of cycles now. I wonder why.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 4: Because I call them what they are. They're bullies, they're tyrants,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: and they're incompetents. They really, truly are. Folks, if a
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 4: CEO of a company runs it to the ground for
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: whatever set of reasons— can he stand on a podium
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: and say, oh, we're doing great? Well, the employees quit.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: They're fired. They are injured. The machines are not working.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: But by just claiming at the podium that they're doing great,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: are they doing great? I don't think so. I don't
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: think so at all. So we are commended. We have
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: no option. When you see tyranny, when you see wickedness,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 4: we must, we who are called by his name, must
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 4: stand up to it. Let me rest my voice. Let's
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: go to old Dan. Good morning. You're on the air.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 35: Go ahead.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 8: Hey, Rocky.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 38: I've always found that when you're starting to lose your voice,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 38: if you gargle with Frangelico, it works.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 4: Well, Coach Leo was suggesting vodka, I think. Oh, no, grappa, grappa.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 38: Oh, minga. But actually, I had two things.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 38: One was from one of the things Lamont said at
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 38: the debate, and then an ad I saw by Susan
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 38: Bysiewicz yesterday. But at the debate, they were talking about
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 38: illegal immigration and ICE. And one of the things Lamont
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 38: said is, if you look Hispanic, you're gone. Now, one that's,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 38: of course, totally false, and he's trying to create fear.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 38: And people– they always say people who are black or brown.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 38: But if you think about it, if what he said
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 38: was true, how come there's all these Hispanic people still
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 38: walking around? And did they break out of jail? I
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 38: didn't hear about all the jail breaks where they got
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 38: out of jail.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 4: They're lying.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 38: And ICE is a federal– they're federal agents.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 52: Right.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 38: And the reason they're here is to try to clean
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 38: up the mess that was caused by four years of
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 38: lawlessness by President Biden– not enforcing border control and securing
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 38: the border. And that's what caused the crisis, and they're
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 38: trying to clean it up. And a lot of mistakes
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 38: are made because we won't work with ICE. So they're
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 38: going in blind. They're going in blind. There could be
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 38: a lot less of these mistakes if the state of
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 38: Connecticut and the attorney general and the governor would work
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 38: together With federal agents because federal agents are– they're the
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 38: ones that enforce immigration laws, not the state.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 38: So that was number one, and it just shows how
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 38: divisive and underhanded a lot of these Democrats are. And
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 38: I think it's terrible because it's scaring people and it's
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 38: giving a false impression that enforcing the law is wrong.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 35: Right.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 38: And the second one. was I'm watching the New York
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 38: Giants game, and they won, which is most important. But second,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 38: an ad by Susan Bysiewicz saying that they're going to
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 38: implement universal health care. Now, I don't know if she
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 38: can read the paper, but about three, four days earlier,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 38: there was an article about this poor woman with a
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 38: two-year-old child, it looked like, who needed to see a
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 38: pediatric ophthalmologist, and she's on Medicaid. Now, Medicaid and Medicare
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 38: are two examples of universal health care. It's paid for
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 38: by the government. We're paying taxes for it, but we
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 38: have no say how the money's spent. And, yeah, they're
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 38: running the show. She could not get an appointment for
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 38: nine months for her kid because she's on Medicaid. And
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 38: when they interviewed the pediatric ophthalmologist and a couple other docs,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 38: they all said the same thing. They're losing money when
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 38: they see Medicaid patients because we're not spending, as a state,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 38: reimbursing them enough money so they can actually make a
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 38: couple of bucks on the people that they see. So
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 38: if they saw a lot of Medicaid patients, they'd basically
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 38: go bankrupt. And it's the same thing with Medicare. I mean,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 38: I'm on Medicare. My ophthalmologist retired. I tried to find
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 38: a new one. I could not get an appointment for
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 38: six months. And I hear the same thing. Medicare, they
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 38: pay better than Medicaid. I mean, Medicaid, they pay nothing.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 38: But Medicare, they don't want to see us because they
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 38: can't make money on us. And you think about it, well,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 38: it sounds like all these rich doctors. But, jeez, they
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 38: go to school until they're 30. They come out with
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 38: hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of loans. They don't
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 38: make any money until they're 30, 32 years old. They've
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 38: got to be smarter and more talented than people like me.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 38: And we want people to go into medicine, and we're
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 38: telling them that they can't make any money or they're
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 38: going to have to see twice as many people as
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 38: they used to, which we are telling them because that's
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 38: what's happening, and to make the same amount of money
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 38: working twice as hard. And they hate it because they
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 38: know they've got to run a mill in order to survive.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 38: And that– My friends, that's what socialized medicine does to
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 38: health care. You'll be covered. You'll have government insurance. But
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 38: good luck trying to find a doctor because they're all
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 38: going to become lawyers and go into finance. And the
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 38: ones that are left, they can't work 18-hour days to
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 38: see you.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 38: And I just wish people would think and wake up.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 38: And I wish the people running for office would have
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 38: the would stop making false promises about stuff that they
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 38: can't– they're promising stuff that they cannot be achievable. And
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 38: they're lying about what could happen. And when you're against
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 38: it because of what I just said, you're a bad guy.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 8: And you're for the insurance company. Right.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 38: And, you know, I'd like to see the state of
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 38: Connecticut tax rolls if the insurance companies all left the
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 38: state of Connecticut.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 38: We used to be the insurance capital of the world.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 38: Hired, I don't know, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 38: of people, paid tons of property taxes into Hartford and
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 38: everywhere else where they're located. We want to put the
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 38: insurance companies out of business because the government can do
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 38: a better job?
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 8: It's crazy.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 4: Remember Ronald Reagan said, the worst words you can hear
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: in English language, hi, I'm from the government, I'm here
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: to help. Amen.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 38: Reagan was the best.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: He was the best.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 38: And, you know, Trump could have been Reagan if he
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 38: didn't be such a jerk and go a.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 4: Little bit too far. If he didn't lose his wit
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 4: on the way to, I don't know where, in the
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 4: middle of the forest, he just lost it. Thank you, Dan. Folks,

  Speaker 2: Today is the 26th of October, 2026.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 4: 10, 26, 26. I like numbers. On the line this morning,
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 4: out of the blue, we have none other than John Fuller.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 4: Good morning, John. Are you there?
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 8: Good morning. Rock, rock, rock, rocking.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 4: John Fuller is the owner. I mean, he's the real,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 4: the big boss, you know. What are you doing, John?
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 8: I'm getting ready for this election only eight days away,
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 8: and we have major trouble. Major trouble, Rocky.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 4: What happened? We got to win.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 8: Let's take a look at the facts. The facts are
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 8: that we have 25,000 Democrats that voted in early voting.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 8: We have 10,500 unaffiliated and only 7,000 Republicans.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 21: Wow. Wow.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 8: That is not good.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 4: It's the first time I heard it. I don't know
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 4: why we're not aware of this. Thank you for bringing
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 4: it up.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, here's the problem. The Republicans are not mobilized.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 8: We have got to get mobilized. We have eight days
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 8: to do it. A, you've got to make sure you vote.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 52: Of course.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 8: You've got to make sure all your family members vote
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 8: in the election. If they have questions about candidates, Help
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 8: them learn about the candidate that serves their interests best.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 8: And get them to the polls. The Democrats, they bust
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 8: in all these people. They're not even told about the candidates.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 8: And then they're told to just vote Democrat. And then
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 8: they whisk them away and they bring them to a
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 8: free lunch. And that's how they get people voting. It's
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 8: not enough just to vote yourself. We all know somebody
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 8: that could get a ride to the polls or help
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 8: with early voting. Early voting is good, but the Democrats
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 8: are leading in that, and we need to realize that
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 8: we don't have it going on, and we need to
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 8: get better, not bitter. And it starts with voting at
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 8: the ballot box.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 4: John, I am puzzled, coming from another country, Italy— In Italy,
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 4: we have several parties— I mean, dozens of parties, but 80
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 4: percent or more of Italians go to vote. When I
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 4: came to the United States and I became a United
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 4: States citizen in 1986, I voted with desire to vote,
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 4: to participate. Every single election, I've been voting ever since
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 4: I was legally a United States citizen. I don't know
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 4: why we have this apathy. I don't understand it.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 4: Why are— Why are people not eager to vote?
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 8: I don't know, because we're not promoting it enough, especially
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 8: the young people. Do you want to have a candidate
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 8: that just raises taxes, doesn't listen to you, or do
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 8: you want to get results in the things you want
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 8: in this world? Do you want lower electric rates? Maybe
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 8: Fazio's your guy. Take and Google him. Research him. Or
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 8: maybe you're happy the way things are going and you
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 8: vote for Ned Lamont. But I don't know. I think
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 8: that we need to get rid of Ned Lamont.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 8: I think we need to get rid of Joe Courtney.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 21: I agree.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 8: Joe Courtney reminds me of Joe Biden. He looks like him,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 8: he talks like him, and he acts like him.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 4: Hey, John, I have a quick idea. When are you
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 4: running for office? I'll come and lose my voice for
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 4: you on the sidewalk somewhere waving your signs.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 8: You know, I help behind the scenes and I do
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 8: what I can do. I just don't have the time
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 8: to vote. And if I want to do something, I
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 8: want to do it right.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 8: I'm not looking to do it.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 4: But you're still young. There's still time for you.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 52: Yeah, thank you.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 4: But that's my feeling.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 8: Eight days to go. Let's mobilize. What we're doing right
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 8: now is not, not working, Rocky. We've got to get
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 8: people out to vote. We've got first-time voters. We've got
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 8: people in nursing homes. Help them vote. We've got people
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 8: that just don't think their vote counts. Your vote counts.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 8: If you're driving to Pfizer, an electric boat, and you
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 8: think that your vote doesn't count, it counts.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 4: Take a look.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 8: And then you wonder why we don't have great candidates.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 8: We need more people to participate in government and get
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 8: their ideas out there. That's what we have to do.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 8: We need more people participating in our elections, and we've
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 8: got to vote Joe Courtney out. He says that, oh,
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 8: he's brought all.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: Of these subs into Groton.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 8: They were coming without him.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 35: Yes.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 4: We definitely— John, I'm so re-energized for your call because I
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 4: didn't even realize the data that you presented, and I'm
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 4: sure it's all official— Basically, there's four to one. Four
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 4: to one. Four to one already.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 8: Four to one.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 8: Democrats are voting for every one Republican. And independents are
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 8: already outperforming Republicans.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 4: No kidding.
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 8: The Republican Party is in third place in Connecticut.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 4: Thank you for... I'm sorry. John, can you stay on
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 4: for a second? We got a caller that wants to
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 4: be on with you. Reid, are you there? Go ahead, Reid.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 70: How did you know I wanted to talk to John Fuller?
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 4: Because I have some minions in the machines here.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 70: You have a little bird in the background whispering in
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 70: your ear.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 6: I like that.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 4: Reid, welcome to the.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 8: Good morning. How are you?
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 70: You know, John Fuller, you are a total genius, and
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 70: you're absolutely right, and you're completely energized by... I was
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 70: doing the same calculation on a national basis in terms
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 70: of how rigged it is, and yet what you say
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 70: is still true. It comes down to the math. We
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 70: are in charge if all we do is look at
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 70: the math and do what the math tells us to do. Nationally,
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 70: all it would take, and I got into this research
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 70: by reading about all the scuttlebutt about inaccuracy of polls,
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 70: and now a very interesting subject coming up, which is
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 70: The prediction markets are just as bad, if not worse.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 70: If Republicans simply turned out 9 percent greater than what
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 70: they usually do, then all of these critical variable swing
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 70: state House seats would go back.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 21: To the Republicans.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 70: It would only take a 9 percent excess turnout for
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 70: Republicans to keep all those seats. So when you're talking
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 70: about four to one in this neck of the woods,
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 70: what it takes is a 36 percent excess turnout. We
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 70: have to get an extra Republican for every three Republicans
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 70: that can be counted on to vote to vote. Now,
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 70: that's not impossible. I mean, if you had to do
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 70: that inside your corporate activities, you would get that done overnight.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 70: And like you said, we're not mobilized. Well, the only
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 70: thing that's going to mobilize us is to realize how
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 70: ripped off we're getting. For some reason, Republicans, like they're
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 70: taking bottles of Valium every day, sit on their butts
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 70: and don't realize how ripped off they're getting or they
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 70: would never put up with this. Likewise, imagine if it
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 70: was the Democrats. that had the four-to-one advantage. Excuse me,
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 70: Republicans that had the four-to-one advantage. Would Democrats ever put
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 70: up with that? Of course not. They would get mobilized.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they whine, whine, whine. Now, let me ask you, Reid,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 8: does Joe Courtney look like Joe Biden? Does he talk
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 8: like Joe Biden? Is it Joe Biden?
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 70: Well, isn't that who Joe Biden would sit next to
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 70: if he wanted.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 21: To look good?
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 21: I mean, that's a backdrop.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 70: It's unbelievable. I mean, to the effect that what you're saying,
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 70: to reductio ad absurdum, is, you know, the Democrats will
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 70: elect a corpse to pull the levers.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 38: The way they want.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 70: That's the truth. They're far more practical than we are.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 70: They're far more practical. They understand power. They understand words.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 70: They understand selling. I mean, I bet you would love
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 70: to get people who are motivated like that to sell
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 70: airtime for your company, because that's what they know how
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 70: to do.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, zombie. That's the Democrat Party. I mean, if you
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 8: could get a client who wrote a.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 70: Check for a million dollars for airtime and didn't even
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 70: pay any attention, that's a great client.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 8: But, you know, the world is a lot better.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 70: Republicans, who are supposedly aware of that reality, have to
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 70: get off their butts and vote.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 8: Reed, you have a great voice. Have you ever thought
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 8: of having your own show on the radio?
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 70: It's been suggested now and then.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 8: What do you do for a living?
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 70: I'm a venture capital sort of guy.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 38: Oh, wow.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 8: Where do you see the markets going? We've had a
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 8: tumble of the last 60 days. The curse of October
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 8: has been in full play in Wall Street.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 70: The stock market is very much like politics. It is
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 70: a game. where people go out and tell you all
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 70: these wonderful values. You know, I was just looking up NVIDIA. Now,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 70: if NVIDIA is really worth so many trillions of dollars,
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 70: you would expect the sales number, the top line of
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 70: that company, to be humongous, would you not?
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 21: I mean, when I looked at it, it's $ 215 billion.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 70: We have this $ 215 billion company that is holding up
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 70: stratospheric market values of trillions of dollars. And you got
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 70: the top 10 stocks out of 8,000 stocks that are
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 70: 40% of market cap, all 8,000. That's crazy, right? But
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 70: the way the stock market works is they'll come out
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 70: and they'll say, oh, but look at this. So the
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 70: valuation is 80 times trailing 12 months. It's a bargain.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 70: You know, so, I mean, everybody's got a pitch that
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 70: makes stupid things look smart.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. We've got to get your number. I'd like to
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 8: talk to you another.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 61: Time, Reed.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 70: Okay, thank you, John. It's nice to talk to you.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, thank you, Reed. Reed is a person that months
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 4: ago taught me that saying that it's, I guess, popular,
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 4: but I didn't grow up here. To rebel against tyrants
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 4: is to obey God. John, what other news you got
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 4: for us?
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm driving through Hopkington, Rhode Island, where I was born,
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 8: and they've outlawed data centers. That's the latest thing. Everyone
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 8: wants AI to work, but they don't want to have
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 8: a data center that basically it employs people and it
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 8: lowers taxes. And, you know, we're going to need them someplace. Yes,
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 8: does it use a lot of electricity?
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 56: Yes.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 8: But they're coming up with ways where they're self-containing that.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 8: But Hopkington has never wanted anything. There was a racetrack,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 8: like a NASCAR racetrack, when I was growing up that
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 8: they tried to get through. It was going to have
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 8: an exit and on-ramp right off a 95. What do
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 8: they do?
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 8: They voted out, and then they eliminated.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 21: So.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 8: This town has had a, it's just an anti-business community. And,
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 8: you know, there's no businesses that come in here. That's
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 8: what they've got. No business, no growth, no jobs. And
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 8: it's gone on for 60-some years.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 52: Wow.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 4: Sounds to me like Norwich a little bit.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, some of these towns are going to
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 8: get their act together and be more proactive to business.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 8: They need to create jobs for the kids that are
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 8: coming up. And they need to do it fast because
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 8: an alarm bell should be going off. All they do
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 8: is raise taxes, school taxes, and the education have gone down,
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 8: the quality of the education.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 4: It's unsustainable. We can't keep doing this. We can't keep
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 4: raising taxes because they don't see any other– they don't
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 4: have a vision. They don't have courage.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 8: And here's the other problem that no one wants to
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 8: talk about, and I saw this on the internet, and
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 8: they have all the numbers wrong, that we're in $ 2
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 8: trillion of debt. I saw this on the internet yesterday.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 8: Two places. We're in $ 40 trillion in debt. Just 10
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 8: years ago, we were barely under, we were at less
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 8: than $ 20 trillion in debt. We are outpacing, it's like
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 8: having a revolving charge at At Best Buy or.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 4: And you keep buying. Yeah, you keep spending money. Spending, spending, yes. Right.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 8: The interest is going to destroy us. Yes. And none
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 8: of the politicians, Democrats, independents, or what's the other one?
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 4: Republicans.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 8: Republicans, that's right. Republicans.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 8: They have their hand in the sand, and they're not
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 8: doing a damn thing about it because they're all ass,
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 8: and you know the other word.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 60: Yes, yes.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 4: We won't say it. John, any finishing thoughts to your
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 4: beautiful monologue?
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 8: No, I think that's about it. But no data centers
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 8: in Hopkinton because there's never anything in Hopkinton. And the
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 8: other problem that we have, our biggest problem in this area,
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 8: is 95 is not big enough. If there were any
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 8: kind of disaster, if there were a nuclear bomb that
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 8: went off in in Times Square, and people needed to
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 8: leave Times Square and New York. 95, half of the way,
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 8: it's only two lanes when you go through Norwalk and Samford,
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 8: and it would take days to get all the evacuees out.
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 8: And no one talks about it. 95 was built 50,
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 8: 60 years ago through Hopkington and Exeter and Groton. It
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 8: needs to be wider. It needs more lanes. That's what
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 8: we need to be spending our money in. We burn
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 8: up all kinds of gas because we have traffic. We
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 8: have construction zones. All it is is a Band-Aid. We
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 8: need two or three more lanes on each side, period.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, John, I never heard you so passionate.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 55: All right.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 8: Well, we got to go. We'll have more later.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 44: All right.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 4: Thank you, John Fuller. for calling in. And before we
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 4: go to break, I want to wish happy birthday to
• 2:06:03

• 2:20:08
  Speaker 4: to you live this glorious Monday morning. I got to
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 4: think about it. It's not Saturday. It's Monday. Thank you
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 4: for our good friend asking to join the conversation. today
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 4: is the 26th of October and in case you're wondering
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 4: I lost my voice because for a whole day on
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 4: Friday I was yelling top of my lungs about our
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 4: friend and the candidate in the 20th district running against
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 4: Carla Marks which may sound like I'm making fun of
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 4: but hey At least I'm not saying nasty, nasty names.
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 4: Before I forget, again, I would like to wish happy
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 4: birthday to Bodhi. Bodhi is nine years old. I wish
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 4: him the best. Nine years old. That was 1964 for me.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't think somebody was even alive
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 4: in 1964. Were you alive?
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 8: No.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 4: That's how old I am. Folks, when I first went
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 4: to first grade at the nuns' school, Catholic school in Bagnoli,
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 4: which is a part of Naples, we had inkwell on
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 4: the first day of my first grade. We had the
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 4: dip inkwell. Do you even remember? Do you even know
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 4: what I'm talking about? I had to dip into the
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 4: inkwell was in the desk. And you started and we
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 4: started the page. A, all nicely was spaced correctly. B, C.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 4: And that was my first day of school. First grade.
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 4: So I was six, 1955. Sixty one. By the grace
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 4: of the living God, I am alive today. I got
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 4: to see four children being born. I got to see
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 4: eight grandkids. Life is good. And that is why, if
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 4: you wonder, that is why I am fortified by the
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 4: experiences that I was able to live. like the movies
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 4: Young Washington that we just saw. We should learn from
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 4: these things. We should learn that wicked people should be confronted,
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 4: should be stood against. In all seriousness, in all lawfulness,
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 4: I would never entice violence ever because God is in control.
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 4: But we got to stand up. So it was such
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 4: a surprise to have John Fuller call in, and he
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 4: was right. And those data, the data that he shared,
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 4: it's quite upsetting. You mean to tell me there's more
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 4: independent voters that already voted, early voting, than Republicans? What's
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 4: going on? What would they do? They took a sleeping
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 4: pill or something.
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 4: It is remarkable. How do you motivate? And that's another thing.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 4: The tragedy that happened last September 10th when Charlie Kirk
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 4: got assassinated. How is it a young man, he died
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 4: so young, 31 years old, but all since he started
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 4: in his 20s, He could motivate young kids to fill
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 4: auditoriums or gymnasiums or outside by the thousands because he
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 4: was genuine. He was honest. He was relentless. He was courageous.
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 4: That pulls you along. Who do we have to look
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 4: up to? Name it. What are we doing today? Who
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 4: are we listening to? Do they drag you out and say, yes,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 4: I want to stand by that person? Most of our
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 4: civic leaders are a bunch of ding-dongs. Is it okay
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 4: to say ding-dongs on here? Yes. They're dummies. They're useless.
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 4: And they feather their nest and they surround themselves. Like,
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 4: you know, the king has no clothes. You know the story.
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 4: When Rita was speaking, I couldn't help but go back.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 4: My mind went back to Mayorkas. Do you remember? And
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 4: I mentioned on a Rocky Radio show a few times. Mr. Mayorkas,
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 4: under oath, in front of Congress... declare that the border
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 4: was secure when we all could see thousands of people
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 4: just walking through the border, by the thousands, every day. Now,
• 2:25:53
  Speaker 4: the question I would have is, why were the Republicans
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 4: so kind, so they're standing by? I would have threw
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 4: a tantrum. If I was a— that' s why, by God and
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 4: all his wisdom, I could never win an election, because
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 4: I would just go bonkers. I would have said to Mr. Mallorca,
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 4: you ought to be arrested right now for lying under oath.
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 4: You're lying. Oh, how about that beauty? Have you ever
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 4: heard Congressman Johnson— Johnston, I believe his name is? Remember the
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 4: guy that— he was concerned— that if everybody from an island
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 4: of Guam— I think it was Guam— moved to one side
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 4: of the island, he was concerned. He was sharing his
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 4: concern as a United States congressman to a Navy admiral— Admiral such-and-such,
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 4: I don't remember his name. I'm concerned because if everybody
• 2:26:59
  Speaker 4: goes from one side of the island to the other,
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 4: the island may capsize. Do you remember that? These are
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 4: our leaders. These are our elected officials. These people ought
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 4: to be ashamed of themselves. But worst yet, where were
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 4: the opposition? Did they say anything?
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 8: No.
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 4: No, of course not. They're being nice. We want to
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 4: be kind.
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 7: We want to be respectful.
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 4: I would, if I was the Admiral, I would have said,
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 4: are you for real? I'm a United States admiral, and
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 4: I don't talk to dummies. I don't reply, and I
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 4: don't answer questions from an idiot. Is it okay to
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 4: say that? It's okay.
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 56: This is an island that at its.
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 39: Widest level is, what, 12 miles from shore to shore,
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 39: and at a smallest level or smallest location, it's seven
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 39: miles between one shore and the other. Is that correct?
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 41: I don't have the exact dimensions, but to your point, sir,
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 41: I think Guam is a small island.
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 39: Very small island and about 24 miles, if I recall, long.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 39: So 24 miles long, about 7 miles wide.
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 52: And what?
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 39: Place on the island.
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 4: And about 12 miles wide. And what? Fish's Island is
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 4: an island.
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 3: And.
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 39: I don't know how many square miles that is.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 4: Lord have mercy.
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 56: Do you happen to know?
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 26: I don't.
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 14: You'd like?
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 56: Yeah, my fear is that the whole island will become
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 56: so overly populated that it will tip over.
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 4: You can't make this up, folks. These are our leaders.
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 4: These are our elected officials. He has fear, this guy.
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 4: He stays up nights because he fears that the island
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 4: may capsize. But worse yet, worse than Congressman Johnston, where
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 4: are the Republicans? This guy is a dummy. That's how
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 4: he's thinking. He shouldn't even be driving. He shouldn't be
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 4: in charge of anything. He's questioning a United States admiral.
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 4: Do you know what it takes to become a United
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 4: States admiral? Our brave submariners, a commander of a submarine,
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 4: he has to be an engineer, navigator, a warrior. A
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 4: commander in charge of a aircraft carrier it's like a
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 4: city not a town a city with all the infrastructure
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 4: and by the way it's powered by nuclear power you
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 4: understand what I'm saying how these people they got elected
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 4: so what they're useless that's why as John Fuller was
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 4: pointing out we're plus 40 trillion in debt how it's
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 4: going to get out of it how They're not even
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 4: considering stopping spending. It's not even in their sight. In
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 4: the city of Norwich, for the last four years, I've
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 4: been attending the council. Never once did they have a meeting.
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 4: Let's brainstorm how we're going to reduce our burden on
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 4: our taxpayers. Not once, ever. It's all about spending. Spending. Well,
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 4: we need this. We need that. They're going to buy
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 4: a $ 375, 000. It's coming, by the way, Norwich. One of
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 4: these fancy armored SUV above the two they already have.
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 62: How do you get to, whoa.
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 4: Spending, spending, spending. It's all they know. Because somewhere, somehow,
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 4: somebody And I don't know who they're making out. They're
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 4: making something. They're not honorable. They're not honest. The majority
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 4: of them. That's my take. Oh, let's go to Dan
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 4: in East Hampton, Long Island. Good morning, Dan.
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 21: Hey, good morning.
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 52: Thanks for taking the call. I wanted to say I'm
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 52: glad you played that clip with that congressman because otherwise
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 52: I'd be calling in the middle of all these geniuses.
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 52: I'd feel pretty dumb. But now I feel good about myself.
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 52: So that's good.
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 52: Um, you know, if you had a credit card and
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 52: your interest rates, you know, went from eight or 9%
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 52: to 30% in a, you know, over a short period
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 52: of time, there would be an investigation, right? Everybody would
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 52: be calling for an investigation. Now they kind of do
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 52: that anyway, but, but we all look at, uh, you know,
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 52: credit cards as sort of, you know, a, uh, predatory
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 52: lender in a way. You know, you get in trouble
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 52: with the credit card and you can't get out of it. But,
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 52: you know, your tax bill, your property tax bill routinely
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 52: goes up 30%, 20% without any warning, without any negotiation.
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 52: They just assign this and it's like, okay, well, you
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 52: can either pay up Or you can be homeless. Yes.
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 52: And that's basically what the Democrats are saying. There's two
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 52: constituencies out there. There's the payers and there's the takers.
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 52: And I think we have reached a tipping point in
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 52: New England where you can't do anything about coughing up
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 52: the money. There's only two things that you could do.
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 52: You can check out, stop working. Stop chasing the American dream.
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 52: Stop chasing a better life for you. And get on
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 52: the government handout program.
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 52: Or you can move away.
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 21: You know?
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 52: But there's no other option. They just assign the debt
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 52: to you. They just spend it. And then when you
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 52: stand up and say, hey, wait a minute. I'm getting
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 52: killed on my tax bill.
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 37: Yes.
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 8: There's 25 people.
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 27: Right?
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 52: And all the sob stories in the world about how
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 52: you're so mean because you want to cut off children's
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 52: food or, you know, medical care to illegal aliens or
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 52: whatever it is. And so you're outnumbered, right? This is
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 52: the socialist way. And so when you get to a
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 52: certain point, like just look through Europe now what's happening, everybody.
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 21: Look at it.
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 52: Paris, I think there's something going on in Paris.
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 21: Rome, is it?
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 52: I think I saw it. Anyway, in Tel Aviv.
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 8: Yes, yes.
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 21: Rioting.
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 21: France.
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 52: Rioting surrounding the elections. Crooked and fixed elections. Total destruction
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 52: and chaos. That's the Democrat socialist vision for your life,
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 52: for your future. And I know that it sucks sometimes
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 52: to go in there and hold your nose and stifle
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 52: the gag reflex and vote for somebody that's less than perfect.
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 52: But you've got to go out and vote. You have
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 52: got to go out there and pull the lever for
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 52: the one that you think is going to do the
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 52: best job at not wrecking the country. And I'm sorry.
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 52: Don't let perfection stand in the way of pretty good.
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 52: Like John was saying, 9% and Reed, two brilliant minds
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 52: coming together with the numbers, just a few percentage points
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 52: more people is all we need. It's not right that
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 52: we should have no representation in all of New England.
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 4: Dan, by the way, since I've been confronting City of
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 4: Norwich at the council meeting, the mayor before in 2024
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 4: was a Republican, so-called Republican, and then now it's a Democrat.
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 4: They look at me like I'm a rebel. They don't understand,
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 4: just like you eloquently stated— They didn't ask our permission.
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 4: They just keep spending, increasing our taxes because they can.
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 4: Because it shouldn't always be Rocky and maybe one or
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 4: two others. It should be by the hundreds.
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 52: And, I mean, you can spend and live large. I mean,
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 52: that's the American way. We're all about big and expensive things.
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 52: When you're making money, when you're doing something smart. But
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 52: you can't just turn around and destroy all the businesses,
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 52: tax everybody to death. put all the burden on somebody
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 52: that's trying to start a small business until they can't
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 52: exist anymore. I mean, look around, man. You want only
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 52: chain stores the rest of your life, no more small shops,
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 52: no more entrepreneurship, no more small mom-and-pop stores. Is that
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 52: what you want? Because that's what you're getting, and you're
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 52: getting it because those big places are easier to control.
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 52: The socialists have their hooks in them, and that's just
• 2:36:47
  Speaker 52: the way it works, man. And the future looks bleak
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 52: if we don't flip it over somehow.
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 8: I think we're in striking.
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 52: Range this time around because I think people's eyes are
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 52: open to this socialism.
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan. God bless you. Real,
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 4: real quick, before we go to Jim and Lisbon, good morning.
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 4: Even though I miss LELC, you and everyone else filling
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 4: in are doing an amazing job. Take care of yourself.
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 4: This cold is going around. are on the same path
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 4: but getting better. Thank you, Jewel and Julia and her husband. Real,
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 4: real quick, Jim in Lisbon, Connecticut. Good morning, Jim.
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 70: Good morning, Rocky.
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 29: Staying with the same theme that's been presented this morning,
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 29: I'd like to challenge a group of people who, according
• 2:37:37
  Speaker 29: to all reports, are very poor at turning out for elections.
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 29: So I want to encourage everybody.
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 8: To go and vote.
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 29: And the group I'm talking about is our brothers and
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 29: sisters in Christ. And we know that we trust God.
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 29: We know that God's in control. But he often works
• 2:37:56
  Speaker 29: through us.
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 8: And so the message we should receive from God, and we.
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 29: Can recite passages from the Bible, that tell us.
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 8: To go out and vote.
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 29: He will guide us. He will provide us with the
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 29: right people.
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 52: Pray, pray, pray.
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Jim.
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Jim. Folks, let's vote.
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 21: But vote.
• 2:38:18
  Speaker 4: With an open understanding who you're voting for. Please understand.
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 4: If a person running for office hates freedom, they're no good.
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 4: They're no good. I'm going to go back home. I'm
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 4: going to go back to Italy because they're socialists over there.
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 4: By the way, when the call was made about being
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 4: in a hospital here, Health insurance in Italy is socialized.
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 4: When I was 18 years old, I got appendix operation.
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 4: It didn't cost me a dime. But let me tell
• 2:38:52
  Speaker 4: you something. That's an easy operation. If you had to
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 4: have major, major surgery, it would be months of waiting
• 2:38:59
  Speaker 4: unless you can afford a private clinic. You see how
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 4: it works? If you can afford a private clinic, the
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 4: surgeon in the morning, top-notch surgeon people with very sophisticated equipment,
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 4: private clinic, you go the next day. They'll fit you
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 4: in right away. But if you want to wait, if
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 4: you have something major. So this dream of the socialized medicine,
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 4: while it works for something simple, it doesn't for something major.
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 4: Trust me. We lived it. We're going to go. God
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 4: bless you all. May the 20th District change hands. Come
• 2:39:43
  Speaker 4: next Tuesday. God bless you and God bless the United
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 4: States of America.
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 49: Ciao.
