• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Great Lee Elsie. Tuesday, October 20th, 2026. For the next three,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you belong to me, so let's pray. Heavenly Father, we
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: come before you with humble hearts asking for your mercy
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and your peace in this uncertain hour. We lift up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the leaders of our nation and leaders around the world.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding, courage to do
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: what is right, and discernment that may prevent needless suffering.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Guide every decision with justice, restraint, and a desire for peace. Lord,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: we pray for the brave men and women of our
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: military and our police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and all first responders,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: including the officers of ICE. Surround them with your protection.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Strengthen them for the difficult days ahead. Comfort their families
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and bring them safely home. Lord, you know I like
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to pray this prayer for all the working people out
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: there today, too, at risk for their families, providing their
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: own support with your help. Bring them home safely tonight
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the comfort of their families as well. We ask
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you to watch over our country, unite us in purpose,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: calm our fears, and remind us that our ultimate hope
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: is found in you alone. May your peace rule in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: our hearts, your truth guide our nation, and your hand
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of protection rest upon the United States of America. In
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Jesus' holy name we pray, amen. And good morning. It
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is the 20th of October, 2026. Our program today is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: For the first 45 or so, you're going to get
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: smatterings of me. Then Bob Lazeri will be here with
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: sports at 6.50. The Power Hour with Bob Swick. I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: know everybody likes that between 7 and 8. And the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Honorable Judge John Nazero, 8 to 8.30. And our friend
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Jan Groskopf, actually Dr. Jan, will be here at 8.30
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: talking about freedom of information. And, oh, man, you could
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: do a whole show on that. But anyway. When we
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: talk about freedom, I'm somewhat of a departure today, or
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: perhaps so, perhaps no. What I try very hard to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: do is to what I believe is give you a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: perspective on things that it's the way I go about things.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's the way, you know, God might be speaking to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: me or me speaking to me or whatever. But something
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: really kind of hit my craw over the weekend. I'd
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: like to share it with you. The dateline is Wethersfield, Connecticut.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: What happened in Wethersfield, Connecticut, the happy Democrat community of Wethersfield, Connecticut,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: two teenagers, Dante Roma, age 18, and a 17-year-old who
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we don't know who he is, probably because he's a minor,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: were caught spraying, not praying, doing the opposite, swastikas, racial slurs,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: homophobic language, and Graffiti on cars, fences, street signs, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: just a total, despicable, dumbball act. Between Wethersfield and Rocky Hill,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: they hit a skate park, they damaged property, and they
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: were criminally charged with a number of charges. The Connecticut
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: charge that I love, intimidation based on bigotry or bias. Now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they admitted they did it, that perhaps they thought they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: were doing God's work. I don't know. There's so much
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: hatred going around today.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But what really.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Caught me was the statement from the police chief. His
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: name is Rafael Medina III. And I'll read it quickly
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because I think it's worth reading. The hateful and deeply
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: offensive nature of these acts of vandalism is unacceptable and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: has no place in our community. Anti-Semitic symbols, racial slurs,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and discriminatory language do more than damage property. They create fear,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: undermine our residents' sense of security, and stand in direct
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: opposition to the values of respect and inclusion in That
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: defined Wethersfield. Now, double underline that last sentence. I commend
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: our officers and detectives. These arrests demonstrate our commitment to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: holding individuals accountable for criminal conduct regardless of age. We
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: will continue working to ensure that every resident feels safe, respected,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and protected in our community. My first thought is congratulations
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to everybody involved. Now, the reality of this, you can
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: feel any way you want. I personally think with these
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: little creeps is I don't have words for that. Actually,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the FCC would prohibit me from saying that. But there's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: an act of vandalism and then there is an act
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of feeling or expression. Now, you may not like the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: feeling or expression. I sure as anything don't. But my
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: question to Chief Medina is. Where does Wethersfield go off? Now, again, OK,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: let's be clear about that. The act itself is vile.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But where does Chief Medina come off to tell people
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in Wethersfield how they should think? Like, for example, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: can go out here, you know, when we're done here today,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: like in Ledyard and spray paint swastikas, you know, from
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: here all the way to Gales Ferry. I mean, I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a vandal. I mean, but do I have anything against anybody?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Those are my thoughts and my feelings, and they belong
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to me. Vile as they are, okay? And this is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the whole thing that really gets me. When I see
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: these police chiefs these days, they have become the hall monitors.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: They have become the thought police. I see this with politicians.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: They want to tell me how to believe. They want
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to tell me what to believe. Now, the belief is despicable,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: but who defines despicable? Despicable is defined in the eyes
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of the one calling it despicable. Do you see the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: danger that we're getting into? And this is what absolutely
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: fries my brains. The Supreme Court of the United States,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, now we have a, put it this way,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we have kind of like an on-again, off-again Supreme Court,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but the past court's have defined, you know, quote-unquote, what
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is free speech, what is belief, over and over and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: over again. And you get police chiefs and you get
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: politicians and you get all these people who want to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: rewrite it because they don't like it. They don't like
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the belief. Put it this way. What if Chief Medina
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: were chief something or other and Wethersfield started to, shall
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we say, have Sharia law Okay, now you, oh, that's terrible. Listen,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: are you watching Dearborn, Michigan? Are you watching some of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: these communities that's going on? We ain't that far away
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: from the possibility of that. That said, say on Friday night,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and I do this, I pray with a cross and candles.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: What if Chief Medina, using him or Chief so-and-so, with
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: his ultimate surveillance and wanting to keep Pomfort, Connecticut safe, says, Well,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I think that D'Angelo over there, I mean,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: he's a he's a volatile nut. You know, we've got
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to keep an eye on him because his views do
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: not reflect what is, quote unquote, a inclusive community. I mean,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he believes in one God. He believes in one savior.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: We got to do away with him. This is the danger.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Whenever I see something like this, whenever I see some
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: fat mouth politician running around saying, I must believe that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: because that's unacceptable.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Excuse me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I've been around for seven decades.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I can determine.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: What is acceptable for me to my benefit or to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: my detriment, but allow me the right as an American
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: citizen under the Constitution, under the decisions of the Supreme
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Court to determine what is right for me. Now, if
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I want to cause harm because of my beliefs, entirely
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: different story, okay? I mean, like my neighbor can yell
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and scream at me over the fence, and he has,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and it's like, He can do that as much as
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: he wants to. Actually, his wife's worse. But if he
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: decides to come over the fence with a sharp object,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: different story. This is the way the law is written.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Let me give you the cases. You need to know this, okay?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: When you see this thought police, when you see this
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: hall monitor nonsense happening, what these kids did, okay, again, again, again, again,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is despicable, is wrong, but it's like they have a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: right to believe as they do. Why do they have
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a right to believe as they do? Because we all do.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: We all do. I don't want you to take away
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: my right to believe as me. You know, frankly, I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: don't want to take away your life, your right to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: believe as you. Just don't harm me with your beliefs,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and I promise not to do the same. Three ways
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this thing was decided. Okay, if you're watching me on Rumble,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'm holding up three fingers. I'm not holding up an
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: upraised middle finger. Associated Press, First United States, 1945. The
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: court made clear that private or institutional arrangements cannot be
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: used to restrict the flow of information ideas simply because
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: these ideas make powerful actors uncomfortable. Hi, Chief Medina. Medina's
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: not the Associated Press, but he's using his office to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: declare that certain symbols have no place and stand in
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: direct opposition that define Wethersfield. Bad symbols, I realize that,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: but he does not have that right. New York Times
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: versus Sullivan, my favorite one, because politicians all over hate
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: this case, if they even understand it, because the Supreme
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Court of the United States, this was the Earl Warren
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court, okay? You understand that? Not necessarily conservative court.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And they said, protected speech that is vehement, caustic, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: sometimes unpleasantly sharp, precisely because public officials cannot be allowed
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to punish expression that offends them or creates discomfort. Now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: If I'm coming out and I'm saying this does not
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: make residents feel safe, perhaps I look at that and say,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you know, just a bunch of idiot kids. I mean,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I've got bills to pay. I've got clients
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to take care of. You know, there's issues that I've
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: got to deal with. Let me determine what makes me
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: feel safe. And then if you've seen if you actually
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: was around back then, but you've seen the movie, The Paper,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: New York Times Company versus the United States. States. This
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: was the Richard Nixon Supreme Court. Officials don't get to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: decide that certain information or ideas are too dangerous or
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: destabilizing to be tolerated. Medina's not imposing a prior restraint,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: but he's using the authority of his office to announce
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that particular symbols undermine security and oppose the town's defining values.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And the department will keep working to protect residents from them.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: This is the whole thing. Government wants to act in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: their judgment for me to determine what is right to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: protect me. Thank you. I can protect myself. Stay the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: hell out of my way. This is really, it's like,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you got to get a grip here, people. You really
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: got to get a grip. When we talk about flock cameras,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and we go back and forth, and I know our
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Peter Familias has talked about that. I know I've talked
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: about that. My only concern with flock cameras is or
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: my big concern is when you get the hall monitors
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of the world determining what is safe for me, you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: cross a line that I don't know if we're going
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to come back from. And if it's like, well, let
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the legislature handle it. Well, listen, I'll give you the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: history of the Connecticut state legislature. There's a lot of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: work we have to do here to say this is OK.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I'm all for, quote, unquote, stopping criminals. What I am
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: not for is somebody's weird idea of what is a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: criminal or what is this or what is that imposed
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: upon me when I frankly don't want it or don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: need it. And that's the problem. We have gone to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the pansy state. Holding up my dad's watch today. That
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was his favorite expression. Anyway, I guess that may have
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: some people spilling their coffee, but that's okay. That's what
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm here to do. I'm here to inform, I'm here
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to entertain, and I'm blessed to be here. 94.9, news

• 11:56
  Speaker 1: going to be doing at the next half hour, but
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I've got some very interesting statistics to tell you about
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: What happens when you scare the billionaires away? You know
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: how we hate those rich people, but we love their
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: tax money? Well, guess what? They take their tax money

  Speaker 4: And part of that bill isn't even electricity.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: It's hidden charges that Hartford buried there so nobody voted
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 17:03

  Speaker 1: East Lyme. If you're interested in that, C-T-D-C-E at SBCGlobal.net.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So believe me, winter, it's a long winter. It gets
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: there very quickly. Get out and make sure you enjoy
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: some really good weather because let me tell you, man,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: tomorrow's not promised to you. Anyway, I don't know if
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: you've been following this or if you've heard of it,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: but apparently there is a war on billionaires. Now, you know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: everybody wants to hate the rich. That's okay. Go ahead
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and hate the rich. But unfortunately, or fortunately, you do
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: need the tax money of the rich to run what
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: it is that you want to run. If you want
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: public pensions, if you want education, if you want public safety,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: if you want your roads to be good, you do
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: need billionaires. So now there is this thing about, well,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: we've got to get everybody who is a billionaire and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: they're not paying enough and we've got to do it.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I think every single... either socialist or working families person
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is like, well, if we tax the billionaires out of existence,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't have billionaires. If you listen to Bernie Sanders
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and everybody will be on an even keel and life
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: will be wonderful and no one will go without. Of course,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: this hasn't worked anywhere, but, you know, somehow it's going
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to work here with these DSA candidates who know as
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: much about economics as I do about Elon Musk flying car.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: But anyway. What we're seeing now, California, there's Proposition 40
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and there's Proposition 42. Now, the reason why I'm mentioning
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: this in Connecticut, I know we've got folks on Rumble
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: and are all over. Thank you. Thank you for watching.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: But Proposition 40, this is the model. You know, California
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is the mothership. Look for this in New York if
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Hochul is reelected. Look for this in Connecticut if Lamont
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: is reelected. Look for this in Maine if Bobby Charles
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: does not win. This is a, you know, one time
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: five percent tax on the net worth of California billionaires
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: who are residents as of January 2026. So like in
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: other words, if you're running out of state now with
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: your tires peeling, they're going to try to claw you
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: back and try this back. And basically it is a
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: five percent tax on your net worth. What's your net worth?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like how much is your house worth?
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: How much is your vacation house worth? I'm a believer
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: from kind of where I've come in life, you know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the bank trust side. As my senior trust officer used
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to tell me all the time, you know, he would
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: walk into me and say, D'Angelo, like when I was
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a young guy, it did happen at one time, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I wanted to buy my first house. And I'm in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the real estate guys, and I'm saying, well, that house
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: is worth X and X. And he would say, D'Angelo,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: how much is that house worth? I don't know, $ 250, $ 300, Carl.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He'd say, that house is worth as much as you
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: could get for it today. And if you cannot get
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: anything for it today, it is worthless because you have
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: no value to it. Now, you know what I'm saying
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: in concept. So, I mean, we're going to appraise the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: assets of all these people and who's going to do it,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and we're going to fight over appraisals. Believe me, I
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: spend half my life in nonsense like that. But that
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: all being as it is, quick fix, 5%, tax them
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: down the road. If you do this, you're going to
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: lose $ 100 to $ 116 billion. That's what the people who
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: are concerned about this say. The supporters say, well, you're
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: going to have 216,000 jobs, and the other people are
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: saying you're going to lose 230,000 jobs. Now, what is undeniable,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and this is just regardless of how you feel about it,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: this is fact, Six to seven billionaires have already skipped
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: out of California. Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Peter Thiel, and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: they're all going to places that are quote-unquote tax favorable,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and to which I say, which is why I yell
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and scream when I see weak tax policy or minor
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: tax policy or we've got to save an income tax
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: because what are we going to do? How are we
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: going to pay for things? Well, you pay for things
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: by having new people come into a live economy. Bruce
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Blakeman in New York running. He's running a great campaign,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and the man's got a really good head on his shoulders,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and he's saying, if I were to eliminate the income tax,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'll get people in New York. I will make New
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: York the financial capital and the social capital and the
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: entertainment capital, and then make the thing safe so that,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you don't have to go to Broadway and be concerned
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: about getting yourself mugged. Now, when you apply that to Connecticut,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: because you've got a number of bird brains. I mean,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're economic bird brains or just
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: plain old bird brains that say, well, let's tax the billionaires.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: We've got in Connecticut, I think, you hear various things,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: 8 to 12 billionaires, and then there's billionaires who have
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of property, but maybe not billions in income
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. And there's really no hard
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and fast statistic of that. But if you drive these
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: people out, it will be, I mean, I don't know
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: if the state would collapse, but would come pretty well
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: darn near to collapsing. The things that would be hit
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the hardest are education, public safety, and infrastructure and roads, basically.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: So these are the things, when people go with these
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: dumb tax proposals, you've got to challenge them. And not
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: only that, but if there's any hope in a state
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: like Connecticut, you've got to be competitive to what other
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: people are doing. Because if not, they will pass over
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you like a plane flying through a city that you
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: don't want to look at. Anyway, it's Tony D'Angelo, 94.9

  Speaker 1: sure Bob is well-prepared. We're going to have a good time.
• 35:04
  Speaker 26: Hi, pal.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 35:05
  Speaker 33: Hey, Tony. How are you this morning?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I'm doing okay, believe.
• 35:07
  Speaker 13: It or not.
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: That's good to hear. We're going to go back in history, Tony.
• 35:11
  Speaker 11: You and I have a lot of fun talking about
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: our olden days, but I'm going to go back a
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: little farther than you and I go back. 1934 on
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: this day, Tony. Just think about the union in baseball
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: right now. Now, just think about what's going to happen
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: on this day in 1934. An MLB All-Star team, Tony,
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: American Leaguers. The National League did not allow this. But
• 35:34
  Speaker 11: the American League sent a bunch of guys over to Japan,
• 35:38
  Speaker 11: including Babe Ruth, Jimmy Fox, and Lou Gehrig. They sailed
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: to Japan. Well, I shouldn't say sailed, Tony. They took
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: a boat to Japan. Can you imagine the union allowing that?
• 35:48
  Speaker 33: They took a boat to.
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: Japan for an 18-game series against a bunch of Japanese universities.
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: But that was, again, on this day in 1934. Tony,
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: it took them two days to get there, and then
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: they played 18 games. Can you even imagine?
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. This used to be kind of a standard thing,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I think, the World Series winner. He used to go
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: over to Japan, and the players would yell and scream,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: but the owners would say, hey, if you don't do that,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to cheat you on the contract next year.
• 36:18
  Speaker 33: There you go.
• 36:19
  Speaker 13: Of course.
• 36:20
  Speaker 11: And then in 1968, Tony, back in the day this
• 36:24
  Speaker 11: week in that 1968 was big for the Olympics. Mexico
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: City was going on at this time. On this day,
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: a couple things happened in the Olympics. American Dick Fosbury,
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: using his unconventional technique, Tony, won the high jump at
• 36:39
  Speaker 11: Mexico City Olympics. And since then, the Fosbury flop, they
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: call it, that's the way that most people do a
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: high jump now. So that happened in 1968. Also that
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: same day, Tony, the American 4x100 relay team won gold.
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: American sprinter Jim Hines was anchoring that. It also involved
• 37:01
  Speaker 11: Ronnie Ray Smith, Mel Pender, Charles Green. They won gold
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: in the 4x100 world record at the time, 38.24 seconds. And, Tony,
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: you remember the Kenyan runner Kip Keno?
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No shoes, no. This was a guy that actually.
• 37:18
  Speaker 11: Did run to school and back without shoes.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Without shoes.
• 37:21
  Speaker 11: But in the Olympics, he did wear shoes, and he
• 37:24
  Speaker 11: won the 1,500-meter gold in a time of 334, despite
• 37:30
  Speaker 11: not feeling well that way. And that day, Tony, he
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: beat Jim Ryan, the American favorite, who was a world
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: record holder at the time. But Kip Tino, after his
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: career was over, Tony, became very big in humanitarian efforts
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: back in Kenya, him and his wife Phyllis, really, really
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: excellent people and legends down in Kenya. So that was
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: the 68 Olympics. 1982, Tony, on this day, Billy Martin,
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: we talked about him last week getting fired. Well, he
• 37:57
  Speaker 11: got fired again on this day by the Oakland A's
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: in 1982. So, again, you and I talk, probably the
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: most hired and fired guy ever. I don't know how
• 38:06
  Speaker 11: you can be fired that many times and still get
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: a job in any profession.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: He actually beat the record of Harry Von Zell being
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: fired by George Burns. I fully agree with you.
• 38:15
  Speaker 11: That's it, right? 1996, Tony, Andrew Jones of the Braves
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: became the youngest player to hit a home run in
• 38:23
  Speaker 11: the World Series.
• 38:24
  Speaker 19: He was just 19 years.
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: Old at the time, and that was the World Series
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: that they lost to the Yankees. In 2004... Tony, on
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: this day, the Red Sox completed their amazing comeback.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: That was amazing.
• 38:36
  Speaker 33: ALCS, right?
• 38:38
  Speaker 11: 0-3 to the Yankees and ended up beating them four
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: games to three. And the Yankees really, Tony, haven't really
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: recovered since then, have they?
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: They really haven't. It's been, you know, years of hope
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: followed by dashed expectations. And I'm just waiting for the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: emails to come with the free agent purchases of the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: AI images of the people that, you know, take this
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: under your Christmas tree. Here's the guy that's going to
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: win us all for us, and he's going to do
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: great until, you know, June when he has a hamstring
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: pull and you don't see him for two weeks.
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: It's so scripted and it's so predictable. And Aaron Boone
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: is coming back, Tony, so expect the same next year.
• 39:18
  Speaker 11: NFL birthdays today, Tony. Herman Moore, the great wide receiver
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: for the Detroit Lions, had a 12-year career over 9,000 yards.
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: He celebrates a birthday today. Kenneth Walker, the current running
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: back of the Chiefs, who actually is the leading rusher
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: in the NFL right now, he celebrates a birthday today.
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: Isaac Curtis, Tony, used to catch passes from Ken Anderson
• 39:41
  Speaker 11: for the Bengals.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Wow, yeah.
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: He's 76 years old today. He was a very good receiver.
• 39:46
  Speaker 11: He just didn't get credit playing down in Cincinnati. Jamie Collins,
• 39:50
  Speaker 11: former linebacker for the Patriots, celebrates today up until 2022.
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: He was an NFL player. And Ray Childress of the
• 39:58
  Speaker 11: Houston Oilers. Tony, when I say Houston Oilers, who do
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: you think of?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, dear. I think of Blanda generally.
• 40:06
  Speaker 11: George Blanda. I think of Bum Phillips. Tony has said
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: on occasion. wore his cowboy hat but was a gentleman
• 40:14
  Speaker 11: and did not wear it when he was in the
• 40:15
  Speaker 11: Astro Dome.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: That's because his mother told him you never wear a
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: hat indoors.
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: But Ray Cho just was a great lineman for those teams.
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: He celebrates a birthday today. As far as baseball birthdays, Tony,
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: first of all, this is going to make you happy
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: and sad at the same time. Mickey Mantle was born
• 40:33
  Speaker 11: on this day in 1931, Tony. Now Mantle, Tony, believe
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: it or not, was playing in the first game I
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: ever saw in person. 1968, which was his last year.
• 40:44
  Speaker 11: If you remember, Tony, he still hit 18 home runs
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: and he still draws two fans to Yankee stadium. And
• 40:51
  Speaker 11: I was just amazed. And I just remember, you know,
• 40:54
  Speaker 11: being a seven, eight year old kid, my father, I
• 40:56
  Speaker 11: pulled up to the stadium on a bus trip and
• 40:59
  Speaker 11: I looked at my father. I said, I thought they
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: played baseball outdoors, dad. And that's from then it was,
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: you were just hooked.
• 41:05
  Speaker 34: Right.
• 41:05
  Speaker 11: But that was his, He was born on this day
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: in 1968, the great Mickey, man. I know you saw
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: him play a little more than I did, Tony, probably
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: when he was in better shape, right?
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I saw three games in 1968, and every game
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I went to, he hit a home run. And it
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: was amazing in the old-timers game I went to. Actually,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine made sure I was able to
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: go with him and actually bought tickets for me, otherwise
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have gone. And that day he actually hit two,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: and there's like two of the most cheapest pop shot
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: home runs you'd hit, but still was male hitting a
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: home run. If Cesar Tovar had like five inches more height,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: he would have caught the last one. All that said,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: and I hope I still have this letter, Bob. Maybe
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I do, and if ever I live to get to
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: my storage again, which is downstate. I wrote a letter
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to the president of the Yankees. You know, of course,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: then I didn't have a typewriter. I could barely write.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: And Lee McPhail saying, you know, Mr. McPhail, if you
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: have me in every single game, I am a good
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: luck person. Mickey will hit a home run. Make sure
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: he plays in 1969. Make sure you give me season tickets.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: And Mr. McPhail wrote me a very nice letter back.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: And he said he was telling me, you know, stay
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: in school, pay attention to your studies. I don't award
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: season tickets on mere speculation, kid, but here's a couple
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: of passes you could use next year, which I thought
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: was great. And later on, when I knew Andy, his son,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: when we were playing baseball in the summer league, I
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: mentioned to him, he just shook my head, so that's
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: my father. Just a couple more birthdays, Tony.
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: The great Juan Marichal, Tony, 89 years.
• 42:49
  Speaker 19: Old today, and believe.
• 42:50
  Speaker 11: It or not, he pitched the first game I ever
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: saw at Shea Stadium. 1971 against Seaver. Can you imagine?
• 42:58
  Speaker 11: And Marichal, a Hall of Famer, Tony. You've got to
• 43:01
  Speaker 11: look at his numbers in the slate, 67. It's just
• 43:03
  Speaker 11: unbelievable what he did. Highest leg kick ever, right, Tony?
• 43:07
  Speaker 11: You can't forget that. Keith Hernandez, Tony, the great first baseman,
• 43:12
  Speaker 11: who was run out of St. Louis by Whitey Herzog,
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: probably because of his cocaine use.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:17
  Speaker 11: Was a great 11-goal gloves.
• 43:19
  Speaker 33: We know all that.
• 43:20
  Speaker 11: And Juan Gonzalez, Tony, another guy that had a steroid–
• 43:25
  Speaker 11: steroids all around him at the time, you know, look
• 43:28
  Speaker 11: at his numbers, the hall of fame worthy, but, uh,
• 43:30
  Speaker 11: you know, his body broke down at the age of
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: 30 and, uh, you know, still going, but, uh, Juan
• 43:35
  Speaker 11: Gonzalez celebrates a birthday today.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: It's, um, you know, it makes you really think about
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: like the 68 Olympics. Bill Toomey, uh, was my, um, my,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: my manager, Tony Sochi's, uh, classmate in New Canaan high school,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: 56 there on the, the ball team together. I remember
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: coming back from soccer practice at what was then junior
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: high school and saying, oh, I got to watch Bill Toomey.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I got to watch Bill Toomey. He was really, you
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: talked about a guy that worked hard and did everything
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: he could to win that decathlon. It was unbelievable. What
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: also is unbelievable, Bob, is we're out of time again.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It certainly does. And not really being used
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: to doing this. Where do we catch you?
• 44:17
  Speaker 11: Just X, Tony, go on X. I see a lot
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: of the interviews you and I did and a lot
• 44:22
  Speaker 11: of other things we've done, and that's your best bet.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Just look it up. 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. Thank you, Bob.

  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 53:10
  Speaker 33: Thanks for having me on.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 53:13
  Speaker 33: I want to start off with looking at a little
• 53:16
  Speaker 33: bit about nonprofits in Connecticut. I've been doing some research
• 53:22
  Speaker 33: to tie in a few things that we're going to
• 53:24
  Speaker 33: want to talk about this morning. Connecticut is a small state,
• 53:29
  Speaker 33: as we know, but did you realize, or listeners realize,
• 53:35
  Speaker 33: the Internal Revenue Service lists a mere 25,436 active tax-exempt
• 53:39
  Speaker 33: organizations in the state, including 20,601 501c3s, which are organizations
• 53:43
  Speaker 33: you can make a tax-deductible donation to. the non-profit reported
• 54:01
  Speaker 33: roughly seventy billion dollars in revenue in there twenty twenty
• 54:08
  Speaker 33: four twenty five violent and what interesting which i i
• 54:15
  Speaker 33: think many of us may realize of the hospitals in
• 54:19
  Speaker 33: the state of connecticut art non-profit if you can believe
• 54:24
  Speaker 33: that If we eliminate the big nonprofits, then we can
• 54:31
  Speaker 33: look at something at an organization like Yale University, which
• 54:34
  Speaker 33: is technically a nonprofit, and a few other organizations such
• 54:38
  Speaker 33: as that. It's difficult to actually get the figures as
• 54:45
  Speaker 33: to how much the state of Connecticut actually gives out
• 54:50
  Speaker 33: to various nonprofits in the state via Connecticut taxpayers' monies.
• 54:57
  Speaker 33: So I believe very strongly, we've talked about this before,
• 55:03
  Speaker 33: if we really want to address the affordability crisis in
• 55:07
  Speaker 33: the state of Connecticut, I mean, really try to address it,
• 55:10
  Speaker 33: is there a way the state could start investigating a
• 55:15
  Speaker 33: little more clearly and a little more closely where all
• 55:20
  Speaker 33: this money that we really don't know how much is
• 55:22
  Speaker 33: actually going to these nonprofits in the state What are
• 55:27
  Speaker 33: they doing with the money? Why are they spending it
• 55:30
  Speaker 33: and where they're spending it, so on and so forth?
• 55:32
  Speaker 33: In other words, what programs are they working on? What
• 55:35
  Speaker 33: are they doing? What's going on? And we've seen over
• 55:40
  Speaker 33: the past couple of years some major frauds take place
• 55:44
  Speaker 33: with nonprofits and with money received by these nonprofits, by
• 55:49
  Speaker 33: the state of Connecticut, and from their taxpayers. So what's
• 55:52
  Speaker 33: going on with this? Why is this not a major issue?
• 55:57
  Speaker 33: And this campaign is something I don't understand.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: How can I put it? I've been around long enough
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: or perhaps too long to know that the only way
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: you're going to fix something like this is you've got
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: to take it to bare metal. I do tire of
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: people coming out and saying, well, We have, you know,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: common sense reforms or proposals or earmarks or whatever the
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: case may be. And any kind of management, any kind
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: of stewardship, any kind of oversight is... Like, I was
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: looking the other night at, you know, drug addiction charities,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: and I forget the number, but it's like it's a
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: staggering amount of drug addiction charities. Each one of them
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: has very highly compensated people at the top of these charities,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: and they're redundant. They're doing again, again, again, and again.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: And it's to the point of, well, why can't there
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: be one or two or five? Because how many executive
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: directors do you need? How many heads of data processing
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: do you need? And it is, you know, like multi-millions
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: of dollars, but like, heck, you know, we've got computers
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: these days, we've got AI, you know, we've got spreadsheets,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: we've got, and the idea is when you have, you know,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the second thing as far as control is concerned, the
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: more items there are that you're quote-unquote dealing with, the
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: greater the propensity is that there's going to be some
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: screw-up along the way because you can't police it all.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: You don't know what they're all doing. You don't have
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: any sort of oversight. So I think to your point,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: it's like It's either you've got to fix the damn thing,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: you've got to take it to bare metal, you've got
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, look, you've got to be totally transparent
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: with what you're doing because it cuts maybe two ways
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: or three ways, as we discussed. It's like, number one,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: our lovely legislature made it to where nonprofit organizations, I
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: was unfortunately educating a young man on this the other day,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Because he was rightfully horrified. And this is a very
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: well-purposed young man who does journalism work on his own,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: wants to report the truth. And I told him, I said,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Sal, not his real name, that the legislature
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: made it so we can't FOIA a nonprofit with our money.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: That's one thing. And the other thing is that what
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: goes on in the nonprofit, again, advanced CT. You know,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: we talk Democrat, Republican. We're in campaign seats. Well, guess what?
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans are there together doing something in advance.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: We don't know what the hell it is. We have
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: no idea. You know, they're having meetings about public policy.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: We have no idea. We have no thing. That's great.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: They're doing something cool with like international something or other.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is, Bob, in this day and age,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: when you can get stuff instantaneously, we don't have real
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: time dash. We don't have quote unquote, a, uh, a
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: peep-eye into the future. And to me, it's just this
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: thing of, well, let's just continue to do this. Let's
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: just continue to raise people on the high end. You
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: want to go feed the hungry? Well, you know, Connecticut
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Food Share, right? It's wonderful. You know, Jason Jakubowski is
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: making over $ 400, 000 a year. How do you feel about that?
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: It's like, listen, I gave you 10 minutes.
• 59:38
  Speaker 33: It's a major problem, and it's a major issue. And
• 59:43
  Speaker 33: I agree with you to the extent that the amount
• 59:47
  Speaker 33: of duplication of service is unknown to taxpayers. So I'm
• 59:52
  Speaker 33: a taxpayer. I would like to know, okay, I'm paying
• 59:55
  Speaker 33: X amount of dollars in state income taxes, okay? I'm
• 59:59
  Speaker 33: told there's an affordability issue in the state of Connecticut.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 33: Yet I find out the redundancy in many of these
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 33: nonprofit organizations reaches a point of no return. So that
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 33: it's a cash cow, and is it a cash cow
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 33: just to pay off the politically connected? I really believe
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 33: it in a very, very large way that this is
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 33: just an extension of the Democratic Party and to a
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 33: certain extent the Republican Party, that we have to pay
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 33: back our favors. We will create these nonprofits. You will
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 33: have your executive position.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 40: At $ 110, 000, $ 120, 000, $ 400, 000.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 33: Take a number out of the sky. Whatever you want,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 33: you get. And then with the rest of the money,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 33: you know, you go forge for whatever help you're going
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 33: to give whoever, the drug addict, the person who's starving,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 33: so on and so forth. It's just so unjust. It's
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 33: such a ripoff of the Connecticut taxpayer. It's not even funny.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 33: And again, here's a situation where taxpayers are being impacted
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 33: in one of the highest tax states in the country.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 33: And yet there is absolutely zero discussion on it in
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 33: the campaign, with the exception of probably you and I
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 33: talking about it on the show right now.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I would believe that's correct. In my observation of the— hey,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: let's do words and all. In my observation of the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Fauzio campaign, I am interested and impressed with some of
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: the things, but you have this gaping hole, this gaping sore.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: This gaping nonsense of, you know, what Ross Perot used
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: to talk about, the giant sucking sound. And all this
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: money is just going to all these things. We don't
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: know what the hell they're doing. We have no idea.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: We don't know. And this is the whole thing. If
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: we're helping people, okay, yes, it is wrong to leave
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: those on the side of the road and just let them,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: you know, just let them be there. But we seem
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: to have more of them. And you say, well, we're
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: spending more and we're getting more.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 26: We're not.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: What what is the positive result from the additional spending?
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: It's very clearly going the other way. So then you
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: got to say to yourself, hey, look, you know, I'm
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: spending more. I'm getting less. What is wrong with this picture?
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: We never have that analysis. What we do get is, oh,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: we don't want to stop people from being helped. No,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: we don't. But who are we helping? That's really that's
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: my whole thing.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 33: Well, we don't know who we're helping because it's not disclosed,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 33: number one. Number two, is there any parallel and is
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 33: there any direct correlations between the amount of money being
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 33: spent on nonprofits in the state of Connecticut for duplication
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 33: of services that is adding to the state unfunded short
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 33: and long-term debt of $ 100 to $ 150 billion? That's just
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 33: a simplistic question to ask in this campaign. can any
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 33: candidate tell me or tell any taxpayer in the state
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 33: of Connecticut, okay, I think we're overspending on nonprofits. I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 33: think we really need to have a Department of Governmental
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 33: Efficiency for the state of Connecticut to start to examine
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 33: all these different nonprofits, all these different departments, all these
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 33: different spending schemes that seem to just come out of nowhere.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 33: We need to start examining them because maybe This is
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 33: contributing to the excessive amount of spending of $ 28 billion
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 33: a year in a state budget that the state of
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 33: Connecticut spends. It could be, possibly, Tony, could be possibly
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 33: causing why the state has one of the highest tax
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 33: rates in the country, taxation in the country, why you're
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 33: spending so much and why your debt is so high.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 33: Can anybody rationally understand that? That statement I just made,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 33: I really would like to know.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: It would stand to reason that if a, you know,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: if you want to go Old Testament, be it declared
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: and decreed that here and after forever, you do not
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: get one red plug nickel for your nonprofit unless you
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: agree to real-time disclosure, full-time funding, full-time monitoring and show
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: everybody what you're doing. And why should you get anything?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: This is me. This is the standard I'm held to
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: every single day. And I say, well, if little old
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: me could be held to this standard, why can't the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: freaking government? If you can't account for every single thing
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: that you're doing, why do you deserve anything? When I
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: looked at the tax returns, I probably was the first person,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: not that this makes me wonderful, but it's the first
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: place I look, when they started dissecting the tax returns
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: of Blue Hill Civic and some of these other things,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the Yukon Foundation, gee, what is a $ 90 million investment
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: in the Horse Barn Hill Investment Fund doing in the
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Cayman Islands? Oh, that's just something they invested in a
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: bunch of horses carrying on. You know, and it's like, well,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: When you've got 70% to 80% of your whatever you
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: want to call it, your vig, your take, whatever, is
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: administrative salary and all the other stuff and all the
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, the other benefits that you're getting,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: 25% of that maybe is reaching you. The people that
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: are there, you're way off the charity navigator barometers. And
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you know, which is the operative question, Bob?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: I'm holding my hand up to the people on Rumble Hall.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: If you're going to if we're going to clean house
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: in Connecticut government because we need our house cleaned, what
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: is going to change there? What will the world change there?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Why can't we say we're going to have a brand
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: new day? We're going to have sunlight. You know, sunlight
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: is the best disinfectant. And we're going to clean the
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: whole thing up because we ain't going to be saving
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: anything if we're just pouring money down holes to these
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: redundant salaries, to these things, to these people. And the
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: sad thing is the people aren't getting help. Now, other
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: people will say that. The how can I put it?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: This whole thing is I had a very good discussion
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: about this with actually Betsy McCoy. And she said, you know,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: this is really a way of feeding your cronies and
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: basically buying votes because your cronies can hire more people.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: And I mean, she was there. She's absolutely right. You know,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: that that's essentially it. But it's like, hey, you know,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: it's this. This is this. This just is what's proposed
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: is not enough and it's not helping. And it ain't right.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 19: It just isn't right.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 33: And to your point, I agree 110% with what you're saying.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 33: Let's look at food insecurity in the state of Connecticut,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 33: and let's look at drug addiction in the state of Connecticut.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 33: I really don't see a great improvement in the amount
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 33: of demand that people in the state theoretically have for
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 33: free food. Okay, so there's something inherently wrong with your economy.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 33: your state economy, to have this many people needing food
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 33: assistance on a regular basis, nothing ever changes with it.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 33: The programs get expanded more and more, and like you say,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 33: there's no resolution to the problem. Drug addiction is the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 33: same problem, the same issue. You're not reading about it
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 33: as much in the state-run media because it's trying to
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 33: be hushed up as much as they can cover it.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 33: But at the same time, it's still a major issue
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 33: in the state of Connecticut. What's being done to address it?
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 33: You're going to throw more money in it. Let's create
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 33: a couple more nonprofits. Let's get more food out to
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 33: people because they need it. Well, okay, why do they
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 33: need that food? What is the inherent problem? Is it
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 33: a lack of jobs? Is it an affordability crisis because
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 33: taxes are too high? So on and so forth. What's
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 33: the problem? I'd like an answer. to what the actual
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 33: problem is and what you are doing, government is doing,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 33: to resolve it, not just say, well, we have this, this,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 33: and this, and that's it. Okay, well, so what are
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 33: the results? It's really problematic. And, again, to me it
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 33: was a golden opportunity this entire campaign on both sides
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 33: of the aisle to dialogue this nonstop. out why is
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 33: connecticut in the economic gold that it's in why are
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 33: so many people in need in the state i thought
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 33: the democrats are advertising left and right how great the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 33: state is how economically vibrant the state is how you
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 33: know people are dying to get into the state. Come on. What,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 33: you know, what is truth here, or are the lies
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 33: the truth again, and truth are lies? It's more like
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 33: that in my opinion.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you, believe it or not, we're coming
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: up on the end of this first half hour of
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: the power hour. I do want to explore with you
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: on the way back this whole idea of a doge
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: because I personally I think it has to be 100
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: percent citizens. No holds barred. Let it all hang out.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: And whenever you say that, you want to see people
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: scurrying under tables. That's been my experience. But anyway, our
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: people would like to pay some bills. Tony D'Angelo here.

  Speaker 8: I'm Sean McKee. When news breaks, we break in.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. Tony D'Angelo on back with
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: the Power Hour Part 2. Bob Swick. And, Bob, we
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: left off with the idea of a doge. I want
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: to see a citizen doge. And I'm sure people are,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure tires are squealing off the freeway
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: and coffee cups are flying and that sort of thing.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: But it's like I look at it twofold. Number one,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: it's our money. And number two, could citizens... possibly screw
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: it up any worse than politicians had. I mean, it's like, okay,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: I want to declare myself as, you know, whatever, Grand
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: High Mystic Exalted Ruler of the state of Connecticut. One,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: a period of time, put it all out there. Let
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: us all see it. Let us all report. Give us
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: a way to report. I mean, it's like, you want
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: it fixed? This is what you had to do. Why
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: do we keep fighting fires with a water pistol? This
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: is my.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: My contribution in the morning.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 33: Well, the issue of a citizen's doge is that it's
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 33: going to be damning to the Democratic Party. It's going
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 33: to be damning to the Republican Party. It's going to
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 33: be damning to those politically connected in the state. It's
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 33: going to really open taxpayers' eyes and say, why the
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 33: heck are we spending money on this or that or
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 33: this or that? What is wrong with these people? And
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 33: I think that's the biggest fear of any elected official,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 33: is to really examine, tear apart, line by line, dollar
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 33: by dollar, where does the state come up with spending
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 33: $ 28 billion a year? Where does the state come up
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 33: with increasing spending by an excessive 400% since the state
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 33: income tax? And what is being shown for all this spending?
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 33: You're in the bottom feeder for business development. You're one
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 33: of the highest taxed states in the country. You've got
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 33: social problems galore. You've got a crime problem that's unyielding.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 33: And what are you showing with all this spending? So
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 33: the citizen group, in my opinion, would probably do a
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 33: heck of a better job than any state agency trying
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 33: to govern itself, number one. And number two, it would
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 33: really show... and probably put in a very, very basic
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 33: verbiage so that it's very understandable to the taxpayer, this
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 33: money's going for this. This nonprofit is using 90% of
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 33: the state money for administrative costs. Only 10 cents on
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 33: every dollar they get actually goes to the problem they're
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 33: trying to resolve. The taxpayer then says, okay, why are
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 33: we spending this much money? What's the point of it?
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 33: The problem's not getting corrected. What if we are just
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 33: in the business to employ politically connected people? Is that
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 33: what nonprofits are developed for in the state of Connecticut?
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 33: And again, don't get me wrong, there are many, many
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 33: legitimate nonprofits in the state of Connecticut that actually do
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 33: their job and are helping the people or the groups
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 33: they're trying to help, so on and so forth. But again,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 33: why does the head of Connecticut Food Bank In a
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 33: state that supposedly we just hear about food insecurity, food insecurity,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 33: and he's making over $ 400, 000 a year?
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 11: You've got to be kidding me.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: And this is the whole thing. Delivery in any kind
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: of business, I don't care what you're in. If you're
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: in manufacturing, you're in service, you're in government, how is
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: success measured? Success is measured by delivery of the good
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: product to the end user. if, let's just say this
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: was the beloved domestic automobile companies, and if I had
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: great administrative processes and great manufacturing and great research and whatever,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: but if I can't get a working vehicle to the
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: guy at the end who needs a damn truck so
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: he can go to work, what the hell good is it, frankly?
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: That's my point.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 33: And again, that is the point to try to really
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 33: pick apart finally and say, You're not doing your job.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 33: This nonprofit is non-functional. This nonprofit is politically, it's just
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 33: a political connection, and that's it. And why are we
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 33: supporting it? We're supporting it because we have to, because
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 33: that's the rule of the Connecticut political system. And that's
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 33: what's inherently wrong with, you know, our state budget and
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 33: our state government right now. So since Doge comes in,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 33: and really opens the eyes of a lot of people
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 33: on both sides and opens the eyes of the independent
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 33: voter at the same time and say, hey, why are
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 33: we doing this? This doesn't make any sense.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Does it? The politician feels that things can always be
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: fixed politically, and this is one of those things that
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: can't be fixed politically entirely. Politics and leadership has to
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: set the bar, but the actual fix comes with politics.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: The boots on the ground, the hard work, the analysis,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: the checking of the duplications, that's basically, you know, I mean, listen,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: that's the way it's always been. I mean, that's the
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: only way things have ever gotten fixed in my experience.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 33: We have to stop the constant. It's the way it's
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 33: always been. Therefore, we must accept it. We should not
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 33: be accepting this anymore. This is an election, in my opinion,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 33: where that whole system could be broken down. in two,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 33: and starting fresh. It is an election where people are
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 33: fed up. And as much as Ned Lamont and his
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 33: Democratic Party wants to cover everything over, and he sounds
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 33: like a buff, with the statements he makes, and I
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 33: saved you $ 400 a year on your electric bill after
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 33: we raised it a couple thousand dollars, it's just utterly
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 33: ridiculous the statements that are being made on his side,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 33: on election integrity, on the cost of living, on business development,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 33: so on and so forth. And, again, it's a golden
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 33: opportunity to rip apart the facade of how great Connecticut
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 33: takes care of its people and how great Connecticut takes
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 33: care of its nonprofits. Enough is enough.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Enough is enough. You're not going to have this chance again.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: And we have a caller, Dan, from Old Dan, from
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: Old Lime. Hey, pal, how are you?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 34: I'm good. I love listening to you guys.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 34: You make so much sense. And I just wanted to... Bob,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 34: you were mentioning about nonprofit fraud. I wish I wrote
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 34: down where the source was, but two or three weeks ago,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 34: I read an article. It could have been Current Connecticut
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 34: Mirror Examiner. I can't remember. But it was about a
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 34: Waterbury nonprofit that was supposed to give out free oil
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 34: to poor people so they can heat their homes during
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 34: the winter. Well, the bottom line is And it's hard
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 34: for me to even believe they could not pay for
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 34: any oil because they spent all their money on administrative costs,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 34: which means costs themselves, like you're talking about the $ 400, 000
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 34: for food share. So that's just a perfect example. You
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 34: talk about false compassion. Nonprofits are supposed to help people.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 34: You don't want people to freeze. None of us do.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 34: But you don't give them oil. You just give yourself money.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 33: And this is where, in my opinion, that nonprofit should
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 33: be shut down immediately. Those administrative people who were being
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 33: paid the money should be investigated immediately, and it should
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 33: be a priority of the state government to stop ripping
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 33: off the taxpayers rather than making it the norm.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 34: Yeah, and they're actually hurting poor people by letting them
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 34: freeze and saying that they are helping them.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 20: And it's awful.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 33: Exactly. They're not. They could care less about the people
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 33: who need heating oil or whatever.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 34: And again, what you said, I couldn't believe it when
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 34: I read it. There's almost a million people in the
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 34: state of Connecticut who are on Medicaid, and there's only, what, 3.5
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 34: million people total? Isn't that something? Right. That means 25%
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 34: or so are on Medicaid. Like you said earlier, if
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 34: that is not an indictment on a horrible economy... where
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 34: people can't make enough money and get a good enough
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 34: job where they can get health insurance, that's total failure,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 34: in my book, anyway.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 33: It is. And as far as I'm concerned, the Democratic
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 33: Party is running on a bunch of failed programs and
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 33: failed systems and failed rhetoric. And, you know, as soon
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 33: as people really need to wake up, as Tony said,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 33: I said, and you said numerous times, They've got to
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 33: wake up to see what is actually going on in
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 33: this state. Why are we allowing this to happen?
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 34: Well, for the Democratic Party, success, I think, is just
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 34: spending more and more money. So it sounds like they're
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 34: doing something and helping you, but they hope you never
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 34: look at the results.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 33: Exactly. It's like the wizard and.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 13: The wizard of Oz.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 34: Don't look behind the curtain because you're going to see
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 34: a lot of fraud and you're going to see what
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 34: I'm doing is worthless. But I'm costing you a lot
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 34: of money, so be happy.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: Well, and you say to yourself, I'm just sitting here
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: thinking in a rare moment, oil, okay, food, the necessities
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: of day-to-day living. How many organizations and how many administrators, Dan,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: this is like the old bromide of, you know, how
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: many Californians do you need to screw in a light bulb?
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: One to do it, nine to share in the experience
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: and the glow. What if you gave people, and I'm
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: not saying this is a great idea, this is just
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: something that popped in my head, You gave them an
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: allotment card and you say you've got this much to
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: take you through the winter. Okay, you're an adult. You
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: know what it takes to heat your home. You know
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: where you're going to have to get help other places.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: This pony here will travel so far. And once you
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: have that or if you have it on a system
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: or something like that, it's like it self-administrates. You don't need,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: you know, director of data processing. You don't need an
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: executive director. You don't need the chair of widows and orphans.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: You just give them because what's the idea? What is
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: the idea of any sort of help? The idea of
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: any sort of help is to get those who can
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: help themselves, perhaps have hit a rough patch, to help
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: themselves as opposed to making them perpetually poor forever, and
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: perpetually dependent upon some organization who's going to dictate to
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: them what they're going to get and employ five people
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: with over $ 150, 000 in the process. That's my soapbox of
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 34: Well, it sounds like, unfortunately, the purpose of a lot
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 34: of these programs is to keep people poor because that's
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 34: their voting base.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 33: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 34: That's a shame.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 8: It really is.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 34: I wish they'd wake up and understand. Somebody told me once,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 34: I asked a guy, why do people in the cities
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 34: keep voting for Democrats? And he said, they're just afraid
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 34: that they're going to lose their crumbs and the Republicans
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 34: are going to take the rug out from under them.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 34: And I said, oh my God, even though their lives
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 34: stink now?
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 11: He says, yeah.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 34: That's basically what the mentality we're dealing with. And of course,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 34: the lack of education and knowledge about what's going on.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: Well, and how many generations, Dan, do you have where
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: The entire generation, you've been in New Haven, you've been
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: in Bridgeport, you've been in Stanford, okay, where I grew up.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: The entire family from right now, from grandfather to grandson,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: perhaps to great-grands, are, quote-unquote, living under the operation of
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: the great, Lyndon B. Johnson's great society. And nobody will
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: be poorer, and the government will provide for you. To
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: your point, they don't know anything different. They don't know about,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: you know, well, you can actually go out. And the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: thing is, there ain't anybody in there teaching people that
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: they could do it themselves, which drives me absolutely crazy.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: The churches have failed. Republicans have failed.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 8: I mean, terribly, terribly.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: I tried for years in New Haven. To get churches
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: to— forget about it. If I get people that are— I used
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: to get this from ministers. If I get people who
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: are busy working their businesses, they're not going to be
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: here to pay their tithe on Sunday. This is what
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: they thought, literally. It's like, and finally, just throw your
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: arms and walk away. Anything else, Dan?
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 34: No, that was it.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 33: We covered a lot.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: We sure did. Thanks for calling. Bob, back to you.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 11: Thanks, sir.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: Bob, back to you.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 21: Uh.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 33: so again it's a golden opportunity to start fresh with
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 33: the golden opportunity to make the cornerstone for the for
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 33: the election and all we're hearing is the same garbage
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 33: over and over again uh... you know everything is great
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 33: in connecticut how dare the republicans question anything so on
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 33: and so forth it's tiring it's boring it's incoherent rhetoric
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 33: it's incompetency of the greatest level that we're seeing in
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 33: a state government running as bad as it is now
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 33: and again Your favorite subject, and I'm going to bring
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 33: it up, CIMA 4, the DECD, totally, totally unnecessary in
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 33: the state of Connecticut, and we still need to see
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 33: middle-of-the-month tax returns, and we still need to find out
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 33: how much profit was made in all these different shell companies.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 33: CIMA 4, Quantum CT, everything. Come clean on it. We
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 33: want to know.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: Why is it? This is the thing. When you see
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: something like that, when I see the multiple millions of
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: dollars going to Quantum CT, for example, they have not
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: made one plugged nickel. There was like one exit out
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: of Connecticut Innovations, which is another story for another time,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: and subsidized someone to go ahead and sell his corporation
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: to someone. effectively being propped by state dollars, a la Semaphore,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. And it's like, and they
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: tell us how wonderful it is, and this is all great,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: and this is going to make things. How do I benefit?
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: You know, me living and working largely in Pomfort, Connecticut,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: how do I benefit from quantum CT? How will that
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: keep my property taxes down? How will that keep the
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: maintenance up in my town? How will it make things
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: more safe? How it would better educate the kids. There's
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: never any connection to this stuff. It's just a bunch
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: of people with a concept getting something, profiting, taking tax dollars, going,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: and then we're all supposed to sit there and say, oh, gaga,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: this is great. This is incredible. What the hell goes
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: on in advanced CT?
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 33: Well, they treat the taxpayer like stupid idiots. That's what
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 33: it comes down to. They treat them like they're ignorant
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 33: slaves to their system. They serve them to serve them.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 33: And again, it's an insult to every taxpayer in the
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 33: state of Connecticut when their government lies to them as
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 33: much as the Lamont administration has lied to them for
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 33: eight years now. And again, their reward should not be
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 33: four more years of more lies and more ripoffs of
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 33: the Connecticut taxpayer. Enough is enough with this situation. This
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 33: is a bad, bad situation, and it really needs to
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 33: be addressed one way or the other.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: And this is the thing. I was talking about this
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: with a good friend on Saturday. We are presented with
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: improvement now. It is not the improvement entirely I think
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: we need, but it is improvement. It is market improvement.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: My opinion, you can hate me for it, you can
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: love me for it, you can agree with me. Again,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: I have the right to my thought. And it's like,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: if we don't get to quote unquote some improvement, Bob,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: we're cooked. We're absolutely positively cooked. It's like, The amount
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: of people that are leaving, you want to go after
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: the billionaires. You want to have a social welfare state.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: Once you lose those billionaires, I mean, there goes your education.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: There goes your public pensions. And it's like, I mean,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: we're all going to have to pay more taxes to
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: engender your failure. And it's like what and we're talking
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: about this with my wife, Kathy, on Sunday. We're in
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: the grocery store. And Kathy is, you know, she's planning
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm going to have goats. I'm going to
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: have I'm going to be growing this. I'm going to
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: be canning that. You know, she really is the the
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: Proverbs 31 wife. And I'm sitting there thinking, you know,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: in my in my 18 year old car, which I,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: you know, cling to because it's like I ain't going
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: to give any more property taxes on that thing. And
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this this is 2026. This is this is
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: like we're really doing this. And it's like I said
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: to myself, if the lunatics get more of a seat,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: say they get a Congress or they get the Senate
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: or a 13-person Supreme Court, what will they then think? Well, okay,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: you need a vaccine passport to go to your local
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: Stop and Shop or Price Shopper. And if you don't
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: want to be vaccinated, you know, toughy the mouse on you,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: you're not going to get groceries. It's like When you
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: start getting beyond the basics, what we see happening in
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: France and that sort of thing, what's happening in France
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: basically is, I mean, the president was absolutely right. It's incredible, incredible,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: incredible unchecked immigration, and there ain't no money, honey. And
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: they're very sorry they don't have money, but that's my
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: soapbox for the morning. One minute to go.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 19: Your ball.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 33: The argument for self-sufficiency is something that we were at
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 33: one time self-sufficient in our society and our economy. And
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 33: we need to get back to it because we can't
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 33: trust government. Government is out of control. Government is not
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 33: doing anything for the people it represents. Government is not
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 33: doing anything for the taxpayers supporting their lavish lifestyle in Hartford.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 33: That's what it all comes down to.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: Well, believe it or not, another power error in the books,
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: and we go on for days. Bob, thank you for

  Speaker 30: It's Hugh Hewitt here with Ken and Nick Tumalo, hosts
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 30: of Tumalo Financial Radio, Sundays on 94.9. Guys, why do
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 30: taxes get overlooked in retirement planning?
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 51: Because the tax code is so complicated. You look at it,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 51: the 401k is pre-tax money. The Roth is tax-free. Your
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 51: non-retirement accounts are capital gains, dividends, and interest. Your Social
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 51: Security is taxed by provisional income. I'm giving you all
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 51: these things and you're probably already confused. That's why you
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 51: want to build out that two-month retirement checkup to see short, first,
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 51: long-term effects on these type of things.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 8: Because you never know.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 51: You might have been saving well in those 401ks, and
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 51: you might have a required minimum distribution issue at 73
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 51: or 75, depending on year of birth. So you really
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 51: don't want to look at it just on a one-year basis. Oh, yeah,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 51: I'm going to do a Roth conversion this year. It's
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 51: going to take care of everything.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 41: No.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 51: Planning takes year over year.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 4: On tax planning.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: You can't just do it in one year.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 52: Yeah, and one of the biggest things that we did
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 52: find with tax planning is especially for our listeners was
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 52: that it has to be done over multiple years to
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 52: actually gain an advantage. So it's not that simple where
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 52: you just make one change in one year. A lot
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 52: of times it's the planning piece of it. And when
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 52: we do our two more financial retirement checkup, it actually
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 52: looks like a big spreadsheet and it shows the numbers
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 52: over a whole bunch of years. We like to go
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 52: out 24, even 30 years at times when we're projecting out,
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 52: because if we can pick up on some of these
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 52: tax things, and then start to implement strategies, then what
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 52: we can do is put in front of you, the listeners,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 52: we can put in front of them where they would
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 52: save money in taxes and how much over time. So
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 52: it starts with that Tumalo Financial Retirement Checkup, our number, 860-854-3434.

  Speaker 35: As President Trump keeps rallying Republicans before the elections, Kansas
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 35: last night.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 8: You can defeat.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 18: The Democrat communists and vote for more money in your pockets.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 35: Democrats are running against him and low Trump approval poll numbers,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 35: especially on inflation in the economy. But the president also
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 35: brought up the destructive weekend protests across France.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 18: When you see burning steeples and raging fires in France,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 18: just remember that is what the radical Democrats want to
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 18: do to Americans.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 35: It was a calm night in France after curfews in
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 35: Paris and other cities. Those curfews have been extended. Russia
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 35: hit Ukraine with another deadly attack overnight as Ukraine's leaders
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 35: in Norway for talks with several European leaders. But President
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 35: Trump has suggested it's time for someone new to negotiate
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 35: for Ukraine. After Vladimir Zelensky called dangerous, the U.S. pausing
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 35: new sanctions on Russia and allowing Russia to export diesel.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 35: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Mumbai but talked
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 35: to Zelensky this morning saying media reports about eroding U.S.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: Support are inaccurate.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 38: So let me clear those up. And as I did
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 38: in my conversation with him, number one is the Department
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 38: of War, everything they've been doing with Ukraine remains the same.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 19: That has not changed.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the War Department, the Secretary's in Israel.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 29: Pete Hegseth met Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on this
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 29: unannounced visit. Reuters cites three Israeli officials as saying the
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 29: main topic of conversation was Iran. Although tensions remain high,
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 29: both Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump have said they
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 29: don't intend to attack Iran... before either the Israeli general
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 29: election next week or the midterms on November 3rd.

• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you for coming, Judge. Good morning.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 19: Good morning.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 4: It's good to be here. You know, it's tough. A
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 4: lot of negative headwinds. And I just want to tell
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 4: people I'm going to share something. I'm a retired judge lawyering.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 4: I'm very fortunate to do that. I had a colleague
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 4: back in my rookie years, a judge in 07. And
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 4: his name was Skip Maiden, Skip Everett Maiden. And he
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 4: was just a great human being. His daughter was the
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 4: head chief of staff for Senator Lenny Fasano. And Lenny
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 4: was a classmate of mine. He was Senate Minority Leader
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 4: from New Haven. A real smart guy. Played ball at
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 4: Yale and was in the legislature for many years. A
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 4: lot of pressure to run for governor. He didn't because
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 4: he and his family owned a beach in East Haven.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 4: It's good to be Lenny. And he owned a lot
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 4: of property in the New Haven area. But go back
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 4: to Skip for a moment. You know, the guy had
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 4: such grace. And I think it's important to remember this.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 4: He never was pessimistic. He'd come out a youthful offender court.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 4: And guess what he studied in undergraduate? You'll never guess.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 4: You'll never guess. Because here's this guy, a judge, very
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 4: prim and proper. He did appellate work at Riscassi, Davis,
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 4: and Hartford. He majored in art, and he went to Syracuse.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 4: And little did you know that he played the bass
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 4: in the rock and roll band in high school, right?
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 4: And he was just tremendously accomplished and humble. He had
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: six kids. And he'd come out of court, and he'd say,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: I did worse.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 4: A youthful offender. I did worse. And he showed compassion.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 4: And we talked about the election. And this is the
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 4: point I'm getting to. And he said, you know, John,
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 4: my father always told me no matter what happens the
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 4: day after the election, the republic will survive. We've done it.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 4: for 250 years. So no matter what happens, all the
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 4: doom and gloom and naysayers, the republic will survive. And
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 4: there's a lot to be pessimistic about. You just look
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 4: at the gas tank prices, right? You look at the
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 4: grocery prices. But you know what? We are super resilient people,
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 4: and we have to think about the positive things that
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 4: are happening in our life. Skip passed away. He had cancer.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 4: And little did I know, he refused to allow me
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 4: to see him. And his family, I learned, did mission
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 4: work all over the world. They would go to places
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 4: and work, like my friend Ramon. He's going to Puerto
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 4: Rico working on houses. And he was such a giving guy.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 4: So the republic will survive. Very humble guy. So for
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 4: those out there, life will continue no matter what happens.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: I want to believe that.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 4: The sun will rise. I'm going to make a gentleman's bet.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 4: The sun will rise the day after election, and it
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 4: will set, and it will be cold.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: It certainly will. I see things today, Judge, that just Paris,
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's like talking with our pal Bob earlier.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: When you completely take away, when you just let, Everybody
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: in that you can't possibly pay for, and then you
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: run out of money. This is what happens. And I
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: say to myself, encourage me to do it. How can
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: this not be here if we keep doing the same thing?
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, now let me tell you something. The Republicans got
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 4: to stop scaring the crap out of everybody. It's not
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 4: going to be the end of the world. Trump brought
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 4: illegal immigration down to zero. What's your excuse now? Folks
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 4: that are saying it's going to be the end of
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 4: the world. Clearly what's going on, they're burning Paris. It's
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 4: not good. In England, bad situation.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: Will it happen in America?
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. You know, we got the fringes
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 4: on both sides. So stop with the fear. I'm not
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 4: talking with you, Tom. I'm talking about the Trump administration
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 4: and folks out there. saying it's the end of the world.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 4: What's happening on the Champs-Élysées is going to happen in
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 4: New London, Connecticut, or New York. No, guess what? Not
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 4: going to happen. We're just too passionate of people. I'm
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 4: an optimist, maybe a dumb, stupid optimist, you know, dumb
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 4: and happy. It's carried you this far. Because it has,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 4: because we are resilient. We will continue. We've had changes
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 4: in administration. When Ross Perot came along, everybody remember Ross Perot?
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: I voted for him.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, he's changing. He's an outsider. It's going to be terrible.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 37: Guess what?
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 4: We all absorb that. And the Tea Party movement influenced
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 4: the Republican Party, right? So now you've got the radical
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 4: left influencing the left. We'll see. Do I think they're
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 4: going to control the country? I doubt it. I doubt it.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 4: I'd like to think we're more calm and people come
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 4: to the center. How did Bill Clinton succeed and Newt Gingrich?
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 4: He came to the center. He got a lot done, right?
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: He really did.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 4: So I don't think we have to fear the communists.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 4: You know, Zoran Mondami in New York— He is an
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 4: influential guy, no doubt, but certain of his policies, like
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 4: free stuff everywhere, can't work. We know that. It's unsustainable.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 4: So let's stop with the fear. I'm going to call
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 4: the Trump administration right now, going to all the sky
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 4: is falling tour. It's the fear tour. It's the world
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 4: going to end. You know what? Bad messaging. Bad messaging.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 4: And I'm not liking what's going to happen. I don't
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 4: think the public is buying it, Tone. And these rallies,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 4: you got your MAGA base going crazy. But the public,
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 4: by and large, they're not doom and gloom. And we
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 4: can go down that rabbit hole, and this is why
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 4: they're losing people. Even Republicans that supported Trump in 20, eh,
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 4: you know, a little problematic now.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: Well, and here I am. I'm going to be the optimist.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: We do not tell people about, to your point, okay,
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: the border is shut. There are really good— economic potentials
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: that we can do to change things. Incredibly, they're there.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: They were part, now you could say it's Trump, it's
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: more Scott Besson probably than Trump or both of them
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: or however that works. We don't see the good. We
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: don't focus on the good. I think to your point, Josh,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: the Republicans aren't messaging on the good. Look at what
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: we can change. Look at what we can do. Look
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: at what they're proposing. Look at what we're doing, and
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: we want to do more of it. And I think
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, doom and gloom, you better vote for me.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: It's like there's so much more than that.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 4: It's the art of the self-inflicted moon. Do you know
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 4: how many ICE officers there are out there? And I
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 4: have to tell you, my oldest son was considering joining
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 4: Border Patrol. He began the preliminary process. This is before
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 4: all the junk came out. So here's my point. We
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 4: have the incident the other day of the guy caught
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 4: on camera. Cameras are ubiquitous, right? Everybody's got a cell phone.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 4: So you have an incident with an ICE agent, a shooting,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 4: not surprising. Then you've got a guy with a broken arm.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 4: Maybe somebody ought to say in the next 10 days,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 4: why don't we stand down a little bit? Let's not
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 4: create a headline. Call everybody in, you know, and let's
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 4: stop with the black SUVs and the armed guys and
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 4: tactical and Kevlar vests only because you're likely to have
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 4: a bad situation, which is going to be a headline
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 4: that everybody will grab on. I'm not saying don't enforce
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 4: the laws. You know, we can enforce the laws, but
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 4: you got to remember, everybody's out there and they're going
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 4: to find a way to spin it. It's like we've
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 4: talked off microphone. You know, the Trump administration, they can't
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 4: get out of their own way. Now a federal judge
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 4: has pressed the Justice Department lawyers over President Trump's plans
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 4: to overhaul. East Potomac golf links and demolitions of a
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 4: golf course. Why are you monkeying with a golf course?
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 4: It's like the whole ballroom thing. Ten days before an election,
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 4: do you want to lose a national election? Do you
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 4: want all the down ballots to go in the toilet?
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 4: It's like, stop, stop. It's not that hard. By the way,
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 4: before I forget, I know it's politics, not so much law.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 4: The poor press secretary, she lasts a half day. She
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 4: gets out there to the firing squad. And I don't
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 4: think it was as bad as everybody says. But, you know,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 4: when Trump just knee jerk says, I think you ought
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 4: to go back to your family. You got a great life.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 4: What does that show the people about his judgment in
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 4: selecting a press secretary? Really not good. No, you can't
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 4: spin it positively anyway. I'm going to see Girl Wonder
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 4: later this week. My wife and I are going to
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 4: be in the Beltway. We're going to be in Washington
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 4: and Arlington later this week. And I'm glad to be
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 4: able to consult my daughter because she gives me a
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 4: read on what goes on there. And it's not good.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 4: It's not good. Everybody in the news media is waiting
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 4: for the next stupid quote gaffe headline. And that's not
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 4: a partisan comment. It's just reality. And the media is
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 4: seizing on it.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: It's, I mean, put it this way.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 18: Hmm.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: Any president, and I go back to, I don't know,
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I probably go back to where I was cognizant,
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: Lyndon Johnson, or I knew of JFK. I could recall
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: his assassination, you know, where I was that day in
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: grade school and all of that. We've gotten away from
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: the thing of no president is entirely perfect. Some do
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: things well. Other things do things not at all. But
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: yet when it comes to Donald Trump, it's, when he
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: does something, it's, oh, Trump did something wrong.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: It's terrible.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: It's this, it's that. We don't look at, like, to
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: your point, Bill Clinton. I did not vote for Bill Clinton,
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: but that second term of Bill Clinton, really, you know,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: the contract with America, working with Newt Gingrich, or, I mean,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: I thought, this is really IRS reform, taxpayers' rights. All
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: these things came about in this whole thing because of
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: that rogue collection agency of the IRS in Texas. I mean,
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: it's like Why don't we focus on the bigger picture?
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: We're so focused to, yeah, there are dumb things done.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: Presidents do dumb things. But it's like we get so
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: focused on the dumb thing.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 4: And let's bring it back to center, not to interrupt.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 26: Sure.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 4: Because when it comes time for the ballot here in Connecticut,
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 4: let's bring it back to Connecticut. Are they going to
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 4: be thinking about that necessarily? Maybe that's what the Dems want.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 4: You know, they want it to be a vote on Trump.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 4: Are they going to be thinking about high groceries, high
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 4: gas prices? Maybe a little more austere Christmas. Credit card
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 4: interest rates of 25%. The bill coming due. You know
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 4: what I hear a lot? People that have two jobs,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 4: they've lost one of them. They were called in by
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 4: their boss and they said, eh, we don't need you.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 4: So now you've got to regroup. You're counting on X income.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 4: Now you have X minus whatever. That's what people care about.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 4: It's the economy, stupid, right? So I think, you know,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 4: all politics is local. You know, Bill Clinton and my
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 4: brother will hate me for this. You know, he did
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 4: a lot of good things.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 4: The guy was brilliant. And there are people, and I
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 4: know this base of the radio, they don't like Bill
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 4: Clinton and the like. I'm not a fan of Hillary.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 4: But Bill Clinton, more people got off of welfare under
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 4: Bill Clinton. And he did so many good things. And
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 4: the guy was brilliant. I know people that worked with
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 4: him in New Haven when he was in law school
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 4: at Yale. He clerked for a guy named Bill Gallagher.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 4: And Bill passed away, senior trial lawyer. You might have
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 4: heard of him.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: I remember Mr.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 4: Gallagher. Well, Bill Clinton clerked for him, and he said
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 4: that there was this guy, Clinton. He was always hanging
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 4: out with his girlfriend, and his girlfriend was the sharper
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 4: knife in the drawer. But Bill Clinton was always out there.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 4: But he did a lot of good things, and people
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 4: lose that. So you can be critics. He did stupid
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 4: things and all that. But what president hasn't?
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's my point.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 41: You know?
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 33: I shudder.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, believe me, in my in my work life
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: coughed spit. You know, it's like I'd shudder to think what.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: The IRS would be like if you didn't have those
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: taxpayer rights.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 4: What a disaster. You remember tax law? We got our textbook.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 4: We got the code. It was like this thick.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 26: Yes.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 4: It was so ridiculous.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: It's bigger these days.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 4: It's so complicated. It is so complicated. There's no reason
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 4: for it, right?
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: No, there isn't.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 4: The IRS, this massive organization, and the abuse that we're finding, waste, fraud,
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 4: and abuse around the country, all the billions that are
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 4: taken in, it's obscene. And it's so sad that we
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 4: have to work till May, June to pocket dollar one.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 13: I will.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 4: I do have a pet peeve. I got a letter
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 4: in the mail. And is there ever hear something called
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 4: the laughing letter? I think this letter was laughing at me.
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 4: And it said it said, Mr. Nazario, you're late on
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 4: paying your admissions for the Jeep. And I don't remember
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 4: getting a notice. And now you have to pay the
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 4: late fee. And I felt like it was the state
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 4: of Connecticut laughing at me because I've got to pay
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 4: the penalty. What is the emissions thing other than a
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 4: revenue thing, right? $ 20, you go through. It's a joke.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 4: Back in the day when everybody said, oh, the emissions. No,
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 4: nobody cares. Nobody cares. Greenhouse gases and all that. We're
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 4: back to gas. I saw that past the Tesla on
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 4: the road this morning. We're back to petrol. I'm a
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 4: drill baby drill guy.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 19: Oh, me too.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 4: I just lost all the environmentalists. We need oil. We
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 4: need fracking. We need fossil fuels.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: We can't grow without it. It's just not possible.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 4: Nuclear. We're Millstone, Connecticut.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: Nuclear submarines, you know.
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 4: So are we just a minority of people? We got
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 4: to do things to make things affordable. So let's talk
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 4: about the law for a second. Let's talk about the
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 4: other doomsday thing, the AI thing. And there are lawsuits,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 4: state lawsuits against OpenAI, a bipartisan coalition of states, attorneys
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 4: general filed lawsuits against OpenAI and state courts over safety safeguards.
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 4: There was a company that went belly up yesterday. It's
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 4: important to note. And is anybody watching the stock market?
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 4: I was listening to Tumalo Financial, the commercial on.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 1: The way in.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 4: The stock market, man, it's getting beat up. It's getting
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 4: beat up so bad. Tech is getting destroyed.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 1: Up and down and all around.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm not a, what's the word? I can't predict stocks.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 4: But I will tell you, I'm sitting in money market
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 4: right now. I cashed out all my equities. And the
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 4: gains are in. For me, the year, you know, things
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 4: went up, but they're tanking now. Oh, my gosh. You
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 4: look at some companies are at 52-week lows. It's kind
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 4: of ugly. And if you're a retiree, you know, you
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 4: can't play the waiting game because there ain't many years left, right?
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 4: If you're looking at your fund, stock funds are going down,
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 4: mutual funds, et cetera. The individual stocks, it's psychotic. One
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 4: minute it's up maybe 2%. Next minute it's down, you know, 15%.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 4: So it's really kind of scary. Is there a constellation
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 4: of worse facts that could be headed into the November
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 4: election for the Republicans? There's so many bad things, right?
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 4: And you said something the other day, actually earlier this morning,
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 4: about how it's kind of bad. There's a lot of
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 4: bad around. We've got to be optimistic. We've got to
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 4: be optimistic. The Republicans want change in Connecticut. Is it
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 4: time we say that every week? I don't know. We'll see.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 4: But I think there's going to be a decent voter turnout.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 4: People are passionate. It reminds me of trying a case
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 4: in New Haven before Judge Joe LeCarrie. Years ago, I'm
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 4: trying a case, and the judge calls the lawyers into court,
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 4: and he says, you know, gentlemen, I don't know what
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 4: this jury's going to do, but I think the jury
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 4: hates both of you.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 57: Okay?
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 4: And this jury is going to whack one of you.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was just really bad. We didn't know
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 4: what would happen. Fortunately, the jury did rule in my favor,
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 4: but you sort of get a feel. You sort of
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 4: get a feel what's going to happen. I think there's
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 4: going to be a pronouncement in this election. I'm not
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 4: sure which way it's going to go, but I think
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a clear message, right? And people
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 4: will not be able to quibble about what's going on.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 4: There's a sentiment out there. Who is reading what, you know?
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned AI, and I sent you something, I believe,
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: memory-serving about 10 days ago. I believe it's California, where
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: if you are at a case at bar in California—
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 1: If you're using AI to get to a certain thing
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: or a case or whatever, you're supposed to cite, I
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: used AI here. And, I mean, what's your take on that?
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: Does that stick over?
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 4: I think it's good. I think it's a good ruling
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 4: because I myself have had– I used AI. Actually, what
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 4: happened was I had an expert witness use AI, and
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 4: he sent a bunch of legal citations. It was all junk.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 4: And I said, are you a lawyer? And he was
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 4: an expert witness. He goes, no, my brother's a judge.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 4: I said, well, that almost makes you a lawyer, right?
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 4: So all this stuff, the sites didn't check out.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 33: Oh, dear.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 4: So federal judges are requiring, and if you're citing stuff
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 4: that's garbage, it's going to come out. It just buys
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 4: into my argument that it's laziness. It's breeding brain laziness.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 4: You've got to do research. There's no substitute for that.
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 4: So I think it's a good warning. And judges are
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 4: entitled to know because you have to be candid with
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 4: the court. I have no problem with that. So let's
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 4: look out what's going on with AI. And this company imploding,
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 4: there are a number of companies– And I don't want
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 4: to mention a particular company, but they're so leveraged. These
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 4: AI companies are so leveraged on expectation. And they may
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 4: go belly up. They may go belly up because they
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 4: haven't had their earnings, right? And we'll see where it goes.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 4: There's only so many. It's like the marijuana thing, the
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 4: legal marijuana thing. In Connecticut, everybody was, oh, this is great.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 4: We're going to tax it. Most of the companies, where
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 4: did they go, Tom? They went down the toilet. Yeah, exactly.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 4: Just ask a few people around who invested. And they
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 4: lost their shirts. The people who got the licenses early, right,
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 4: they're doing okay. But thank God in a weird way.
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 4: I just thought it was so weird when I was
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 4: in Denver, Colorado, all these pot stores, all these stoners
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 4: on the street. The streets were dirty. And it's just
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 4: too weird, right? I'm just not a big, you know,
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 4: legalization of drug guy. So be optimistic, folks. Oh, by
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 4: the way, early voting has started, right? I don't know
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 4: if it's been mentioned. And so early voting has started.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 4: That's a good thing. Get out there.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 5: Vote.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 4: No excuse. I saw some people wearing buttons. Did it
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 4: start Monday or Tuesday?
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: I believe Monday.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 4: So that's good.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 13: Get out there.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 4: There's no excuse. Let's have a turnout like never before.
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: We need one.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 4: I want to thank you. I want to thank you.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 4: You know, it's going to be several weeks before our
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 4: regular host comes back. A couple weeks. Boy, it's hard
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 4: to believe. All these hosts, a shout out to all
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 4: the guest hosts and folk like yourself that have done
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 4: a lot of work. A lot of work to make
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 4: this show still vibrant.
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: It's a high bar.
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 4: The message is getting out.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: It's a high bar on this show. And, you know,
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, me, myself, and I, and I know the others,
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: we want to keep it. And it is a great
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: forum for differing viewpoints because, again, and I end every
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 1: single one of our sessions with saying this, I'm a
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: JFK guy. I don't want the Democrat answer or Republican answer.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 1: I want the right answer. And I walk away from
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 1: here with a greater perspective.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 4: It's the message, absolutely. What else is going on out
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 4: there in the legal world that you want to talk about?
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 4: I think their new term, this is the Supreme Court,
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 4: is the fall term. A lot of new cases coming
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 4: up for argument. Major changes on gun rights, executive power cases,
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 4: always testing the bounds of executive power. And unfortunately, you know,
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 4: Trump gets shot down, right, on the limits. And they're
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 4: just constant. The DOJ, is the DOJ an arm of
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 4: the president to do the president's will? You know, a
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 4: lot of people talk about the profits. And this is
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 4: an ugly thing, too, when you look at the profits
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 4: that are made by the families of presidents. whether it's
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden or Donald Trump, it's obscene. You know, the
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 4: children of all these presidents, the relatives, whether it's Roger
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 4: Clinton and the Kushners with Trump or Biden.
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: Billy Carter. Billy Carter.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. What a nightmare. But, you know, not Billy.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of Roger Clinton.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: Roger Clinton.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 33: Oh, yeah.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 4: I forgot Roger. There's a men's. There's a men's.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: That was a piece of work.
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean, not everybody can be Prescott Bush.
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 4: Prescott Bush, pretty sharp guy.
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. Another rip-roaring session with Judge
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: John Nazaro. And we will be back with Jan Groskopf
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 1: right after this. Thank you, Judge.
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 4: You can find me in Nazaro Law in New London.
• 2:12:50

  Speaker 1: Well, we're coming down the backstretch. Tony D'Angelo, 94.9, in
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 1: for Lee Elsie. On the phone, I've got my guest,
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 1: well-known to just about everyone on this network, Dr. Jan Groskopf.
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: And good morning, Jan. And I understand there's a theme
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: you would like for us to play before we begin.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 13: Sunday night.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 19: Stalin's for Hitler, Stalin's against Hitler.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 12: It's all a lot of political double talk for you,
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 12: hold on.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 34: I don't know how you do it.
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 12: I don't know how you do.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 41: It.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 60: I think that sums it up, doesn't it?
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 1: In so many ways, and again, good morning.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 34: Good morning.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 60: So that's from the way we were, moving from the,
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 60: I think it was probably the 80s, but maybe.
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 1: Even the, I think it was 1973, because I remember
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 1: the high school girls going gaga over Redford and kind
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: of dating myself.
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 60: Oh, okay, it was that early. All right, so it's
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 60: about politics and the couple and World War II and afterwards,
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 60: and one is very involved in politics. But it speaks
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 60: to kind of where I've been going recently. It's easy
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 60: to take apart particular... political events and et cetera, but
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 60: I'm trying to, I spent a whole weekend revising a
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 60: post because I want to look more at, more deeply
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 60: at things and draw them into a much larger picture.
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 60: And the theme that you have had all this morning
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 60: has been knowledge is power, correct?
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's a fair assessment.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 39: Right.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 60: I know Bob Quick and you both were mentioning the
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 60: citizen doge. And that, right now we don't have that.
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 60: But what we supposedly have is the Freedom of Information
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 60: Act request. And this is a way that this should
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 60: be a totally bipartisan issue. Because if you want to
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 60: be cynical, both parties can just look for dirt on
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 60: each other. in the worst kind of ways. But the
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 60: citizens themselves should be able to have access to everything.
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 60: And it really should all be online. There may be
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 60: some things that maybe you have to request because of
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 60: certain restrictions or security, although most things are not about security.
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 60: So this should be bipartisan. But I think probably... Elements
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 60: in both parties don't want this information, don't want the
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 60: citizen to have the information. So I know you've talked
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 60: about this in the past, and Judicial Watch is complaining
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 60: about it. I mean, how many FOIAs have you filed
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 60: that you never get an answer to, Tony?
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say minimally 10.
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 60: Minimally that you don't get an answer to or.
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 1: That you do get an answer to? Minimally 10 where
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 1: it's fallen off into abyss. I don't know what has
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 1: ever taken place. Like, for example, the second, it was
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: either the first trip to India of the governor or
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 1: the first one I knew about or the second trip
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 1: to Israel. I had a very nice conversation with the
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 1: governor's counsel. Mr. Muhammad. And I said, I want to
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 1: find out what has been transpired during that trip, because
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 1: apparently it was a business development case. And he said, well,
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 1: I'll give you whatever I can. But you do realize
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 1: that this was under the auspices of Advanced CT, which,
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 1: of course, is a nonprofit in the state of Connecticut, which,
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 1: of course, is exempt from any sort of freedom of information.
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 1: But the young gentleman said he promised to give me
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 1: everything that he could. And essentially, to this day, I've
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 1: received nothing. So that's and several other things like that
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 1: I've asked for and I've told the stories. But I mean, Jan,
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 1: I guess what you really come down to is if
• 2:27:30
  Speaker 1: somebody doesn't send you information, you have no choice but
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 1: to conclude the information that you're asking to get is
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 1: getting someone very nervous or they don't want to share
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: it for whatever reason and it ain't good.
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 17: Exactly.
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 60: And so I'm going to go over a couple of
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 60: cases at the federal level where FOIA is very important,
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 60: but It also shows how by the citizens, by people
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 60: lacking information, corruption can abound. And again, we're talking about the,
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 60: I mean, why shouldn't we know where our funds went
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 60: with the NGOs? But the way you can kind of
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 60: set somebody up, not kind of, the way that people
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 60: can be set up and used in ways that they
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 60: may not want to, may not have wanted to do.
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 60: So I'm going to briefly go over one case, and
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 60: then we'll see where that leads us. Okay, this is
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 60: several years ago. This is a report from the Department
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 60: of Justice, officer of the Inspector General, and initiated an
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 60: investigation because the executive office for the United States attorneys
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 60: alleged that an assistant attorney exposed his genitals in public
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 60: and sexually assaulted a civilian while on a date. There's
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 60: a very short report. I mean, that's a heavy claim,
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 60: isn't it?
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 4: It sure is.
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 60: That's jail time, or potential jail time. Well, it used
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 60: to be jail time. So we have this heavy charge,
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 60: and we have one, two, a short line, and another
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 60: short line. That's it to tell us what happened with this.
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 60: The investigation was found. I don't know what did that entail.
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 60: Where are the investigation notes? Were exposed in public. The
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 60: Attorney General, Assistant Attorney General, forced the civilian's hand to
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 60: touch him, which is a violation of state law and
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 60: federal regulations governing off-duty conduct. And it was found that
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 60: he lacked candor in discussing this incident with the OIG.
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 60: I think probably most people do lack candor, but that
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 60: could cut two ways. Either he wouldn't admit it, or
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 60: it could mean a lot of things. I'll let everybody
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 60: think about that. Now, they found that he did this, right?
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 60: So here's their determination. Criminal prosecution was declined.
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 39: Wow.
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 60: They found him guilty, so to speak. Or they said
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 60: not guilty in a court of law, but they found
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 60: reason to charge him, but they didn't charge him. So
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 60: what do we take away from this? Number one, this
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 60: man was completely guilty. That's a possibility. Whether he was...
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 60: And this is what the kind of thing he does. Two,
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 60: this is... He was guilty... But he was set up.
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 60: He was not necessarily guilty-guilty, but he was set up
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 60: by someone. Either way, whether now he is in the
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 60: pocket of whomever has this report, because let's say they
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 60: come to him and say, hey, we want you to
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 60: do this case, this prosecution, and this is how we
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 60: want it to fall out against this person we don't like.
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 60: He can't say no. He belongs to them now. Now,
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 60: if a citizen, now this was kind of buried, this report,
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 60: but let's say as a citizen, I want to FOIA this.
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 60: I'm not sure I would ever see the light of day.
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 60: It would see the light of day because it would
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 60: be either totally ignored It would be slow rolled until
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 60: I died of old age, and so did the poor
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 60: young man if he's innocent and terrible criminal if he's guilty.
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 60: Or I would be hit with fees for the copying
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 60: of it or whatever excuse they came up with. I
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 60: would probably, and I didn't try, never be able to
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 60: find that information. Would you think that that's kind of
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 60: how it might go for me?
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I do, and, you know, when you look at it,
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 1: it's not that, like, I know in the, let's put
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 1: it this way, if I'm dealing with a tax case
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 1: and I ask the agent, which they never like, and
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 1: it's like, I want the client file, and you talk
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: about homina, homina, homina, homina, and basically what will happen
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 1: is you'll get it after a while. You have a
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 1: right to do it, but they keep out what they call, quote, unquote,
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 1: They're litigation strategy notes. They don't want to show you that.
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 1: And that's I mean, that's the way the rules are written.
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 1: So that said, you get everything else eventually. In this case,
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 1: there's like nothing that, quote unquote, should not be a
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 1: matter of the public for the public to know. There's
• 2:33:14
  Speaker 1: not they decline prosecution. So there's not a case of
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 1: a litigation strategy. I know the judge is listening. And
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 1: it's just like, what can I say other than, yeah,
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 1: number one, it stinks, and number two, I agree with you.
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 33: Right.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 60: And this is when people say, oh, where does the
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 60: deep state, you know, apparently some people think this is
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 60: a conspiracy theory, but we found lots of information. Call
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 60: it what you want. The bureaucratic state is what historians
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 60: use because it sounds nicer, but it means the same thing.
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 60: So this is how you get people. to do things,
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 60: or you can. Now, let's look at a second case.
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 60: This one is even worse, so to speak. It's got
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 60: a little more information, and the Department of the Inspector General,
• 2:34:05
  Speaker 60: et cetera, et cetera, is investing a case of a U.S.
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 60: attorney on foreign service employed by the State Department. During
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 60: the investigation, the OIG found indications that this lawyer or
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 60: the government had engaged in unprofessional contact because they were
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 60: becoming inebriated in the presence of foreign government officials, translation women, possibly,
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 60: and making offensive and demeaning remarks to foreign government officials.
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 60: This was substantiated that he had forcibly grabbed someone and
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 60: he touching them and violating them in ways, et cetera.
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 60: Now they found him, they found that there was enough
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 60: evidence to take it to trial. Criminal prosecution of the
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 60: AUSA was declined. So now we're going to somebody who
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 60: is in the State Department. And for those of you
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 60: who know about State Department and embassies, there are a
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 60: lot of foreign nationals who work in those facilities. And
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 60: I always have wondered, how do you really vet them?
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 60: How can you really trust them? And if you're in
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 60: certain countries, there's no way they're not giving information when
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 60: they go back. I think I've talked about one time
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 60: just in a hotel. When I talked to a young
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 60: woman in Syria and just asked a basic question the
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 60: next morning, I came down and I felt really bad.
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 60: She was beat up for talking to me, obviously. And
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 60: so they're going to give information. I've always thought it's
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 60: not a good idea to keep them there. Anyway, in
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 60: this case, we now have someone who's overseas and who
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 60: has been compromised either because he did it or because
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 60: he didn't do it. He could have been set up
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 60: by being drugged at a party, at some event. He
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 60: could be this kind of person, but he no longer
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 60: owns himself. And not only that, another country has its
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 60: hooks on him. So why would the DOJ look at
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 60: this and not boot him out? If they think he's
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 60: guilty or if they think he's not, There's other ways
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 60: to handle that. But now we have a real problem. Again,
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 60: if we had a really good FOIA system that worked,
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 60: that was easy to get to, that maybe you just
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 60: sign in like a citizen does, sign into your account,
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 60: pull up the information. Maybe you do have to pay
• 2:37:09
  Speaker 60: a couple of bucks, but Everybody knows who you are
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 60: getting this information because we want to know foreigners are
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 60: getting all this information, looking for leaks in a way
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 60: that they can use it in all kinds of ways
• 2:37:27
  Speaker 60: that would be detrimental to our interests.
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 34: Or even do the.
• 2:37:31
  Speaker 60: Old-fashioned paper copies and, you know, it's sent to you
• 2:37:37
  Speaker 60: in a secure manner, et cetera. But the FOIAs are...
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 60: And there's a lot of complaints. This is a nationwide complaint.
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 60: The FOIAs are not being honored. The FOIAs can be
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 60: the basic of bipartisan effort because it's good for everybody
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 60: and it will help keep us a open and free society.
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. You know, and in our closing
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 1: minute together, it's sort of interesting that I started the
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 1: morning talking about the Pentagon Papers case, which led to Watergate.
• 2:38:18
  Speaker 1: which led to the first freedom of information legislation. I
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 1: believe that was 1974 or something like that. And it
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 1: was this whole thing of, you know, we need transparency
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 1: in government. And, Jan, what we're looking at now is
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 1: really worse than, quote, unquote, the Pentagon Papers or pre-Nixon.
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Believe it or not, we're out of time. And, Jan,
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 1: we know where to find you. You're here. Thank you
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 1: so much for.
