  Speaker 1: Land of the Free, the home of the brave.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: That is the classic 1968 national anthem as played at
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: the World Series by Jose Feliciano. That was a major
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: controversy at the time it was played. I remember I
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: was watching it and it was not your typical national anthem.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: But yet, as time goes on, to me, it's a beautiful,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: heartfelt rendition by a A blind musician talking or singing
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: about all the good things that America has done. And welcome,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: welcome to the morning show, 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I'm Tony D'Angelo. I am in for this Tuesday. And
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I'd like to pray. We'll get to the program and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to have some fun. Today's prayer. Heavenly Father,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: we come before you with humble hearts asking for your
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: mercy and your peace in this uncertain hour. We lift
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: up the leaders of our nation and leaders around the world.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding, courage to do
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: what's right, and discernment that may prevent needless suffering. Guide
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: every decision with justice, restraint, and a desire for peace. Lord,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: we pray for the brave men and women of our military,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: our police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and all first responders, including
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the officers of ICE. We pray for the working people, too.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Surround them for your protection. Bring them all home tonight.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Strengthen them for the difficult days ahead. Comfort their families.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: We ask you to watch over our country. Unite us
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: in purpose. Calm our fears and remind us that our
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: ultimate hope is found in you alone. May your peace
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: rule in our hearts. Your truth guide our nation and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: your hand of protection rest upon the United States of America.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' holy name we pray.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Amen. And again, I'm Tony D'Angelo. This is the Morning
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Show on 94.9 and.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I have a special honor group of the day today,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: which is those folks that actually labored on Labor Day.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: If you labored on Labor Day, then you are in
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the honor group of the day.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: On 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But today I've got something, at least to start off with,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that's a little bit more serious, and it comes down
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to what can we trust anymore in our systems and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: our procedures? I mean, we are lied to so much.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: We are obfuscated. We are sleight of handed. were shell-gamed,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: were three-card mounting. And this is something, you know, I've
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: been following, not being an expert, but it has caught
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: my eye.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Austin J.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Card Grimes was 29 years old on August 29, 2026.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: In Fulton County, Ohio, a pickup blew a stop sign
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and smashed into his SUV. Troopers charged the other driver,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Washington G. Noah Ochoa, 34, with killing him. Two other
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: people went to the hospital.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Grimes did not come home. What turned a crash into
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a fight was the license. United States Senator Bernie Marino,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: if you may have heard about this, but if you haven't,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I feel it bears mention again. We did talk about
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it on 30 with Tony. We were talking about it
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: on Next last week. The legitimate systems, I think, want
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to have you forget it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: My job is not to have you forget it, but
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to remember it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Senator Bernie Marino, United States Senator, said Noah Ochoa was
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in the country illegally and was carrying a Connecticut drive-only card,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the special license that Connecticut created in 2013 and started
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: handing out in 2015. And, you know, it's the typical
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Connecticut full field issue, which is, oh, they're going to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: drive illegally anyway, so let's just let them drive. And
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the bottom line is a man who was not supposed
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to be here had a Connecticut license when he killed
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: an Ohioan.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And Senator Marino was very angry. He wrote a letter.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: He wrote a letter to Governor Ned Lamont. You can
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: see the letter on the Internet.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And he said that by his estimation, there were 61,000
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: people having these drive-only licenses.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Now, when we.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Actually started to look at the statistics as we went down,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it's closer to 90,000 people.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Now, think about that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: There's 90,000 people who have drive-only licenses. And the whole
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: processes of are these people registered to vote, do they
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: check a box, do they not check a box, it
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: seems like you can't get a straight answer from anybody.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: But the most galling thing to me is our current.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Governor, hopefully not future governor, Ned Lamont, known affectionately on
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: this show, at least through me and all the people
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: on 30 with Tony and Mother Mary and all the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: ships at sea, is King Governor Ned Lamont, the unaccountable.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Says, well, trust us.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: That field, if you will, that motor voter, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: do you want to register to vote, does not come
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: up on a drive-only license.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Well, show us the field. Show us, oh, no, trust us.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Trust us. We're supposed to trust government that this thing
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is working. But think about it, guys.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You got 91,000 people who have had this process. Now,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: how does this happen? How does this thing get moving? Well,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: there are a number of nonprofits. Most of them are,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you know, they say are privately supported. When you actually
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: look at the private support, the private support comes from
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: other nonprofits that NGOs, if you will, who effectively.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Are, shall we say, public support.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And you're thinking, gee, that sounds like money laundering. Yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I watched a lot of gangster movies, too, myself.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: But so they're getting this funding. They're getting people to
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: apply for drive only licenses. And the other thing is that, well,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: think of the money tree here. If you are in
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a business that can profit by these people getting drive-only licenses, well, honestly, truthfully,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think if you're in the driving school business,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you're shooting a fish in a barrel for crying out loud.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You've got 91,000 new customers. Now, it's a lot more
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: serious than that, okay? It's a lot more serious because
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: can they read English? Do they understand, like I came
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: here this morning in the dark and the gloom from Pomfort, Connecticut,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: we're firmly convinced in Pomfret, Connecticut, that the world does
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: not exist before 5 a.m. But when you're driving along
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the road, you see these symbol signs. Well, what's that mean?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It's like, does that person who just got the drive-only license? No,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: it is a complete, you know, well, it's trust the system.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: It's okay.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got the vote right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you have absolutely nothing to do or even
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: if you don't have anything to do, Watch the Secretary
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of the State of Connecticut, Stephanie Thomas' press conference about
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: her reaction to the homeland security surge against illegal voting.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And it has you— it' s probably one of the most vapid
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: things I've ever seen. I mean, I've seen some, shall
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I say, empty-headed explanations. This has got to be in
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the top five. But anyway, that's sort of an aside.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: But— Senator Marino asked four questions. Fundamentally, questions that we
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: have all been asking since the beginning of time or
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: certainly since 2020. And simple logic-based questions, which we never
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: seem to get answers from in anything resembling Connecticut governments.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Number one, how many of these licenses exist clearly? You know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: we should know that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Number two.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: How many of the— think of Kamala Harris, the Venn diagrams. Okay,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you've got a big Venn diagram, people that got licenses.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Next up, how many holders have, in that universe, have
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: committed crimes?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, easy enough. How many signed up to vote? That
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: should not be hard.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's—you know, we used to run these things
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: in the bank all the time.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: They're called merge operations.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: You know, you run two spreadsheets, and you see where
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I do them to this day and how much was spent.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: What Senator Marino is driving at is how many people,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and this is actually in a lot of places, who
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: have these quote-unquote motor drive-only licenses that somehow turn into
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: motor voter, and there's no real forthright acknowledgment of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: fact that this exists. Now, two things trouble me here,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: or maybe more than two things. If you're curious at
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: how this came about, This was all part of a
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Department of Justice settlement in 2016. But if somebody comes in,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: we know this much, and they say, I am a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: citizen of the United States of America.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I swear to this.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: This paperwork, if you will, goes to a registrar of
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: voters who is not really, I'm not calling the registrar
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of voters stupid, but they don't have the machinery, if
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you will, to say, well, Are these people on the level?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: They're basically taking somebody at their word. Now, the thing is, OK,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they swore to one oath. Well, how many people swear
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to one oath and don't mean it?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We don't know. And are we really paying attention? So
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you have this thing going on. And here we are.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: We have people running in elections, running their brains out
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: in good faith. I mean, do they got a shot?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Because think if I got an amoeba and it's 90
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: something thousand people and you can just do whatever you want.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of slippage in a small market.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And one thing I can guarantee you is of those 90,000 people,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to find a lot of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Trump voters in there.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: OK, and I don't think you're going to see that amoeba.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: if you will, going to places where it's unintended. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: picture the shadowy netherworld of through the nonprofits, through the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: driving schools. through the wherever, and we can't get a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: simple answer as to if that drive-only license says you
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: can drive only, well, show us the feel. Well, I'm
• 10:20

• 26:07

• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I think you should. You may not like his particular

• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Next Tuesday, I was speaking with his lovely wife, Elizabeth Sarah, yesterday,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and I've been listening to him more and more, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: believe me, if he actually takes things back to where
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: did the train jump off the track, and you go
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: back to the Great Society when you started handing out
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: money and making it to where the thought which has
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: permeated a lot of our consciousness, which is the government
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: owes you, the government owes you.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Like, whatever happened to going out and getting it for yourself?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Well, no, the government should do that for you, and
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: this is really, we have this societal crisis in our
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: country because people don't know how to do anymore. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: can remember, this is going back, I think, in my
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: early days of working with the food bank, My then
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: friend who actually she stole my friend. I haven't seen
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: her in a while who was running what was then
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: the Connecticut Food Bank had a great idea. And she said,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: you know, if we could teach people how to cook,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: if we can actually teach him, no, this is a pot.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: This is a pan. This is a spoon.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: This is whatever your stuff you put on the pan.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: You like olive oil. You like, you know, spray, whatever.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: And you can actually learn to cook for yourself. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: you could save yourself a ton of money and spent
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of time and a lot of effort in
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the hope of getting people to learn to cook.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And it was an.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Incredible, colossal failure because. People were so conditioned to, you know,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: eating out of a bag or eating out of a
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: box and completely, completely, completely could not, you know, it's, well,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: where does food come from?
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: It comes from a box.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even come from a plate for, you know,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: it's like, where does milk come from? You know, milk
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: comes from bottles or cans or, you know, actually this
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: is coming in cans.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: What's this evaporated milk?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: But this is really, I think, where we've gone. I
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: can remember as a kid, this is actually, and you
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: think how, We thought this was ridiculous, but when fast
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: food started getting really big around the late 1960s and
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: things like that, around that time frame, I could remember
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the Catholic priest coming out and saying, you know, it's
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: fun to go once in a while, but don't ever, ever,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: ever give up the family mealtime where people would actually
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: sit and talk and make food and get– You know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: get around a common thing where it's just like, you know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: we've become such an eat and run society that, you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: we've completely messed that up.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well, we will go.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: To a restaurant and believe me, go to the restaurants
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: because number one. So many of them are good, and
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: number two, they do appreciate your coming, but it's like
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: the only time we actually sit and talk to people
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: is in a restaurant.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: No, you can actually do it at home. I can
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: tell you. You can actually cook.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: You can actually sit there and look at your spouse
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: or look at your kids and say, wow, how did
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: all this come about?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: But that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Is really something I think that we've missed in our culture.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: And when we're running from place to place, we just
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily get any of that. Well, we're coming back
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: in a little bit from what I understand. My engineer
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: tells me Bob Lazzeri. The world of sports. And, oh, man,

  Speaker 20: Here he is, Bob Lazari.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it's always a fun time when we discuss sports.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Sports has probably alienated me for the past five or
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: six years, but thank God I can still talk to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Bob and, you know, learn something about it. This is
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Bob Lazeri. And, Bob, first of all, good morning. How
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 35:00
  Speaker 33: I'm doing good, Tony.
• 35:01
  Speaker 34: Thanks, man.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: And you want to start with the birthdays and the events?
• 35:06
  Speaker 35: Yeah, let's do something.
• 35:07
  Speaker 36: First of all, I have a stat of the day, Tony.
• 35:09
  Speaker 36: I was doing a little research this past weekend, and
• 35:12
  Speaker 36: did you know, Tony, that Ted Kluszewski, right, 1954 for
• 35:17
  Speaker 36: the Cincinnati Reds, he hit 49 home runs and struck
• 35:22
  Speaker 36: out 35 times.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 35:26
  Speaker 36: Now, in a four-year stretch, Tony, from 53 to 56–
• 35:31
  Speaker 36: all four years he hit more home runs than strikeouts.
• 35:34
  Speaker 36: For example, 1956, 35 home runs, 31 strikeouts. You know,
• 35:40
  Speaker 36: he was an amazing player, Tony. People don't realize how
• 35:43
  Speaker 36: good he was, not just for that four-year stretch, but
• 35:45
  Speaker 36: the sad thing is he had a back problem like
• 35:49
  Speaker 36: at the age of 31. He hurt himself in the
• 35:52
  Speaker 36: field and never was the same player after the age
• 35:56
  Speaker 36: of 31. But the numbers he put up to that point,
• 35:59
  Speaker 36: I mean, he could have been an all-time great, Tony.
• 36:01
  Speaker 36: You've got to look at his stats when you get
• 36:02
  Speaker 36: a chance.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: It's, I mean, I would hear the old-timers, at least
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to me, the old-timers talk about Klazuski, and the, well,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: remember during the 60s and 70s that vest uniform was
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: very popular, you know, and it, maybe today you see
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: it now and then, but He would go out, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: he had these stovepipe arms, and he wouldn't wear an undershirt.
• 36:30
  Speaker 33: Yeah, there's pictures.
• 36:32
  Speaker 36: All over the Internet. You've got to see him, and
• 36:34
  Speaker 36: he's the reason why the Cincinnati Reds changed to that
• 36:37
  Speaker 36: style uniform. It's pretty wild, Tony. As far as on
• 36:41
  Speaker 36: this day, Tony, back in 1939, Tony, Bob Feller, at
• 36:46
  Speaker 36: the age of 20, became the youngest pitcher to ever
• 36:49
  Speaker 36: win 20 games. He was 24-9 at the age of 20.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: Dear, dear, dear.
• 36:53
  Speaker 36: You know who actually broke his record, Tony, by a
• 36:56
  Speaker 36: couple months? It was Dwight Gooden in 85 when he
• 37:00
  Speaker 36: was 20 years old. But that happened this day in 1939. 1963,
• 37:04
  Speaker 36: on this day, Tony, Warren Spahn, 13th 20-win seasons. Now
• 37:12
  Speaker 36: think about that. What would this guy be worth today,
• 37:15
  Speaker 36: all right? 20-win seasons. He tied Christy Mathewson with 13
• 37:20
  Speaker 36: of them. I think Cy Young had 15, Tony, but
• 37:23
  Speaker 36: that happened in 1963 on this day. As far as
• 37:27
  Speaker 36: some birthdays, Tony, let's go to the NBA first because
• 37:31
  Speaker 36: you remember a couple of these guys. Remember Maurice Cheeks, Tony,
• 37:34
  Speaker 36: for the 76ers?
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I sure do.
• 37:37
  Speaker 36: You remember our buddy, the PA announcer, saying Mo Cheeks, right?
• 37:44
  Speaker 33: Mo Cheeks.
• 37:46
  Speaker 36: That was– so he actually– believe it or not, he's
• 37:50
  Speaker 36: 70 years old today, Tony. Clarence Weatherspoon, who also played
• 37:54
  Speaker 36: for the 76ers, celebrates today. And Latrell Sprewell, Tony, the
• 38:00
  Speaker 36: much-aligned Latrell Sprewell, who had a bunch of problems off
• 38:04
  Speaker 36: the court. You know, this is the guy that choked
• 38:07
  Speaker 36: his coach, P.J. Carlissimo, and actually had a fight with
• 38:10
  Speaker 36: a couple of other players during his career. And you
• 38:14
  Speaker 36: remember when he said– Later in his career, when somebody
• 38:17
  Speaker 36: offered him a three-year, $ 21 million contract, Tony, $ 7 million
• 38:21
  Speaker 36: a year, he said, I can't do this. I've got
• 38:23
  Speaker 36: to feed my family.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: He's got to feed his family.
• 38:26
  Speaker 33: That was his claim to fame.
• 38:28
  Speaker 36: As far as football birthdays, Tony, I've got one big
• 38:31
  Speaker 36: one for you. A guy, a good friend of ours,
• 38:34
  Speaker 36: Lem Barney, Tony.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Ah, a lovely man.
• 38:37
  Speaker 36: 81 years old today. You remember we talked to him. Man,
• 38:40
  Speaker 36: it had to be more than 10 years ago. And, Tony,
• 38:43
  Speaker 36: one of the nicest guys. You would never think he's
• 38:45
  Speaker 36: in the Hall of Fame when you talk to this guy. And,
• 38:48
  Speaker 36: you know, the more I look at his stats, I mean,
• 38:50
  Speaker 36: obviously a Hall of Famer, had over 50 interceptions. I
• 38:53
  Speaker 36: think there was things we talked to him about, but
• 38:56
  Speaker 36: we didn't get to talk to him about. I didn't know, Tony,
• 38:58
  Speaker 36: that he actually did some punting. Never mind punt returning
• 39:02
  Speaker 36: and interceptions. He did some punting in two of those
• 39:06
  Speaker 36: years with the Lions. But do you remember how good
• 39:08
  Speaker 36: of a guy he was, Tony?
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Such a gentleman. And the thing is.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: I think only trivia that only you and I would know,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: he was actually, he and Mel Farr, another Lions player,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: another great Lions player, were Marvin Gaye's backup singers on,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: I think, that whole, What's Going On? And when you
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: hear that chatter in the in the beginning of the
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: guys that are like, hey, man, what's happening, whatever. And
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: you clearly pick up Lem Barney's voice. And I remember
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: we were doing the show and I said. I recognize
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: your voice. He said, yeah, that was me.
• 39:45
  Speaker 33: That was great.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Melfar.
• 39:46
  Speaker 36: Melfar, didn't he own a bunch of car dealerships?
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a number of commercials in Detroit. I
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: remember when I was out there as a much younger man.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: And he would do these commercials where he would be
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Superstar Mel Farr and he'd have a Superman cape.
• 40:03
  Speaker 33: Those were the days.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Really, really something.
• 40:05
  Speaker 36: As far as some more birthdays, Tony, well, born on
• 40:08
  Speaker 36: this day back in 1916, Jim Bagby. Jim Bagby is
• 40:12
  Speaker 36: known for the pitcher who stopped Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak, Tony,
• 40:18
  Speaker 36: in 1941. Bagby, this was Jim Bagby Jr. His father
• 40:22
  Speaker 36: was a very accomplished pitcher. for the same Cleveland Indian
• 40:26
  Speaker 36: team years before, but Jim Bagby, who went on to
• 40:29
  Speaker 36: become a professional golfer, I believe. He was born on
• 40:33
  Speaker 36: this day in 1916. As far as other birthdays, Tony,
• 40:36
  Speaker 36: you remember the Force brothers, Tony?
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, very well, yeah.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: From the Valley in California, yeah.
• 40:42
  Speaker 36: Yeah, Ken Force, 80 years old today. Sadly, Bob, he
• 40:46
  Speaker 36: passed away, I think, very young age. I think on
• 40:49
  Speaker 36: the age of 60. But Ken... was the older brother.
• 40:53
  Speaker 36: He celebrates his 80th birthday today. Don Asse, who used
• 40:59
  Speaker 36: to pitch, came up for the Red Sox, Tony, then
• 41:01
  Speaker 36: went to California.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: I remember.
• 41:02
  Speaker 36: Probably known best for being traded for Jerry Remy in 1977. So,
• 41:10
  Speaker 36: I mean, probably the Red Sox probably had the best
• 41:12
  Speaker 36: of that trade. But Asse had a pretty good career
• 41:16
  Speaker 36: as it went on.
• 41:18
  Speaker 33: Gil Mesh.
• 41:19
  Speaker 36: Who was a pitcher, an all-star pitcher, Tony. I think
• 41:21
  Speaker 36: he made the all-star team with Kansas City one year.
• 41:24
  Speaker 36: Also pitched with the Mariners. He celebrates the birthday. And
• 41:28
  Speaker 36: current Yankee pitcher, Tony Garrett Cole, 36 years old today.
• 41:33
  Speaker 36: You can't believe how these guys age so quickly. You know,
• 41:37
  Speaker 36: I mean, he's a great pitcher, Tony, when he's healthy.
• 41:40
  Speaker 36: I mean, over his career in New York, he's had
• 41:43
  Speaker 36: his ups and downs as far as health-wise. But when
• 41:45
  Speaker 36: he's on, he's a great pitcher. I'm just wondering... With
• 41:49
  Speaker 36: a power pitcher like that, how many more years he
• 41:51
  Speaker 36: has left with the Yankees?
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: It usually goes quickly.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: It's like I remember Don Drysdale had that incredible year.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I think it was 1968. And then, like, 1969, he's
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: going along, and all of a sudden it's like boom, snap,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: rotator cuff.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: And this, of course, was before.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: The sophisticated surgery and the Tommy John surgery. And, you know,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: as a relatively young, young man, his, uh, his career
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: is over and that's, uh, you know, these days, uh,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I think you have more of a fighting chance, but that,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: that's just the way it is.
• 42:24
  Speaker 33: Yeah.
• 42:25
  Speaker 36: Uh, we just, we'll see what happens as far as,
• 42:27
  Speaker 36: especially in the playoffs coming up.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: And, uh, it's, uh, you know, it's funny.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Now you have me warming back into what I think
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I was telling you. I was watching that 1960 Detroit lions, uh,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: championship game against Cleveland. And, uh, it was, I was amazed, Bob,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: and you don't.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Think of it.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: He's almost lost to history. But Earl Morrill, what a
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: great quarterback he was. And the thing I like about him,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: at least in his career, is wherever you put him
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: to play, you just put him in somewhere. It was
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: like the one year at Baltimore. Hey, Unitas is hurt.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Get in there and play. You know, when's the title?
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Same thing with Miami, and his thing was, well, they
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: give you the opportunity, you take it, you do something
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 43:08
  Speaker 36: Yeah, Morrow was one of those guys, you think back,
• 43:11
  Speaker 36: and he had some big moments. If you look at
• 43:13
  Speaker 36: his career stats, maybe not, they don't jump out at you,
• 43:17
  Speaker 36: but Morrow, him and Unitas, Tony, with the crew cuts, right?
• 43:21
  Speaker 36: They look like brothers, but yeah, Earl Morrow, that was
• 43:24
  Speaker 36: a great name to remember.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Well, believe it or not, the last subject I wanted
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: to discuss with you was the Doug Eddings incident with
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: the hat, but I think we'll have to maybe hold
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: that out for next time we're actually running out of it.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: It's Tony D'Angelo, 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk. And, Bob,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: where can our friends and fans reach you?
• 43:44
  Speaker 36: Tony, they can go up on X, check my name,
• 43:47
  Speaker 36: and you'll be able to see that Lem Barney interview
• 43:51
  Speaker 36: if they'd like to see that today. So it was
• 43:53
  Speaker 36: very interesting. I would hope people would watch that today.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I would, too. Thanks, Bob. Thanks for being here.

• 46:42
  Speaker 26: you paying more than $ 34. 99 a month for unlimited data?
• 46:44
  Speaker 26: I only ask. because in a recent industry survey of 120,000
• 46:51
  Speaker 26: wireless customers, PureTalk was the only wireless company out there
• 46:55

  Speaker 1: Bob, how are you, pal?
• 50:09
  Speaker 33: I'm great, Tony. Thanks for having me on this morning.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Where do you want to go first?
• 50:14
  Speaker 33: I don't know where to start, but I want to
• 50:15
  Speaker 33: do one comparison right now to get people excited about
• 50:20
  Speaker 33: voting in November in Connecticut.
• 50:22
  Speaker 43: Okay.
• 50:23
  Speaker 33: When Dan Malloy decided not to run because he was
• 50:27
  Speaker 33: cutting his deal for his cush job in Maine as
• 50:31
  Speaker 33: educational chancellor or whatever his position is there.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, non-job.
• 50:35
  Speaker 33: Okay. State of Connecticut was spending roughly $ 21 billion a year.
• 50:42
  Speaker 33: This is going back to basically 2017, 2018 budgets. Connecticut
• 50:48
  Speaker 33: right now is spending close to $ 28 billion a year,
• 50:51
  Speaker 33: not counting everything that's off budget. Connecticut's business tax climate
• 50:57
  Speaker 33: when Malloy was leaving office was ranked 44th in the country.
• 51:01
  Speaker 33: Right now it is at 47 and probably will be
• 51:04
  Speaker 33: going down to 48 when the new Survey Bay Tax
• 51:09
  Speaker 33: Foundation comes out. Connecticut has stagnant population growth. Connecticut has
• 51:17
  Speaker 33: one of the highest personal property taxes in the country,
• 51:21
  Speaker 33: has one of the highest tax structures in the country,
• 51:24
  Speaker 33: not just for business, but for, you know, everything else
• 51:27
  Speaker 33: we look at. Connecticut still has $ 100 to $ 150 billion
• 51:31
  Speaker 33: worth of short and long-term debt, along with unfunded liabilities,
• 51:35
  Speaker 33: contrary to what everyone else, but not what the Democratic
• 51:39
  Speaker 33: Party is trying to say, that things are being paid off,
• 51:41
  Speaker 33: so on and so forth. Voters really need to say
• 51:45
  Speaker 33: to themselves coming up in this election, am I better
• 51:48
  Speaker 33: off than I was eight years ago? It certainly doesn't
• 51:50
  Speaker 33: sound it if the state is spending a billion dollars
• 51:54
  Speaker 33: more a year and we still have the same problems
• 51:57
  Speaker 33: that we had eight years ago or the same problems
• 51:59
  Speaker 33: we had 35 years ago. And paralleling that, there was
• 52:02
  Speaker 33: a report that came out with regards to the state
• 52:09
  Speaker 33: comptroller's office couldn't figure out and find out where $ 35.
• 52:14
  Speaker 44: Million worth of health care payments went when they audited.
• 52:20
  Speaker 33: The accounts of the health care providers in the state
• 52:25
  Speaker 33: by the payments that the state connected made to them.
• 52:28
  Speaker 33: So you look at this kind of stuff and you wonder, Tony,
• 52:32
  Speaker 33: what is going on? Is there anyone in Hartford that
• 52:36
  Speaker 33: knows what's going on, number one? And number two, at
• 52:39
  Speaker 33: some point, does anyone think the money will run out?
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Ostensibly not.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, we were talking this morning about the ostensible
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: motor voter situation, and we're going to talk about our
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: should-be-abolished Department of Economic and Community Development. But, Bob, you
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: see this time and time and time and time again.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: And you never see, at least in my time on
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: this earth, I've never seen that governor come in, and say, look,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: this is a mess, and I'm going to fix it.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get commissioners that actually know how to commission,
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: not stooges, not boobs, not hacks, not people I owe
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: favors to, but people who are experts in the field.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: And the first thing is, which you've told me for years,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: and I wholeheartedly agree with, you accept that commissionership, if
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: that's a word, 15% pay cut. 15% of what you
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: would ordinarily get you are in service to the state,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: and then you're going to get your department to work
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: inside of four years. Bob, I have never seen this,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: and yet it's this kind of thing that everybody just
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: kind of blows it off, or this is fine, or
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: this guy's good, or he smiles, or she's an attractive.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Lady, or she did something. And then the thing I
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: think that makes me very angry.
• 54:05
  Speaker 33: Is— Well, the problem is that I think people in
• 54:09
  Speaker 33: the state have become— death to what's going on especially
• 54:13
  Speaker 33: people who were the elected officials who are the commissioners
• 54:17
  Speaker 33: were the people that work in state government they just
• 54:19
  Speaker 33: seemed not to care and the connecticut taxpayer sadly who's
• 54:24
  Speaker 33: working very hard to pay this tax burden really doesn't
• 54:29
  Speaker 33: does not get any answers and and and and basically
• 54:32
  Speaker 33: comes down to where and when will accountability come forward
• 54:37
  Speaker 33: again in in state government And I think there's a
• 54:41
  Speaker 33: golden opportunity in November to say, hey, things are not working.
• 54:45
  Speaker 33: We really need a change. And I would like to
• 54:47
  Speaker 33: see if a new governor is elected that he decides
• 54:55
  Speaker 33: to have a full audit of state government. Let's go
• 54:57
  Speaker 33: top to bottom. Let's go each department. Let's figure out
• 55:01
  Speaker 33: what's going on here. And is there any possible way
• 55:04
  Speaker 33: we could cut some of that $ 28 billion we're spending
• 55:08
  Speaker 33: into Two in turn, which leads me to the second
• 55:11
  Speaker 33: thing I want to touch base on, is why we
• 55:15
  Speaker 33: offer so many tax breaks to businesses trying to expand
• 55:21
  Speaker 33: or come into the state, when at the same time
• 55:23
  Speaker 33: the last budget basically increased and or created new business
• 55:28
  Speaker 33: taxes of over $ 500 million. Is there some irony I'm
• 55:34
  Speaker 33: missing in this whole process economically? that we have to
• 55:39
  Speaker 33: offer all these tax breaks, but yet at the same time, hey,
• 55:43
  Speaker 33: we're not taxing businesses enough. Let's increase it by half
• 55:46
  Speaker 33: a billion dollars this coming budget.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's just a disconnect, or that person who
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: was being, I'll use the term, bribed, to come in,
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: and it's like, well, those taxes won't apply to you
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: your first three years, five years, whatever the case may be,
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: and And, Bob, I can remember going all the way back,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: I think where I began to get interested in this
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: way back when, was remember there used to be a
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Macy's store in New Haven, a real nice Macy's store.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: It was a great place to go, and if you
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: wanted to buy something for your mom or your girlfriend
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: or your wife, you can get it done in 15 minutes,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: and you can go back to where you were working.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: It was high-quality New York-type merchandise. And then when New
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: Haven started going south, I don't know if it was
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: the present incarnation of our should-be-abolished Department of Economic and
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Community Development, but some incarnation. They threw, I forget how
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: many millions of dollars. You would remember this at Macy's.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: You know, you've got to stay here. Oh, great, Macy's
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: is going to stay. And, like, within eight months, Macy's
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: was gone. And I asked the question, well, do they
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: have to pay back the $ 2 million or whatever that
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: basically they took under false.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's... And.
• 57:06
  Speaker 33: How many businesses like that took the money and ran?
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly.
• 57:11
  Speaker 33: There's no functional auditing, and with all the research I
• 57:15
  Speaker 33: do trying to find information, you can't find anything, especially
• 57:20
  Speaker 33: from the DECD, with what they give out, so on
• 57:23
  Speaker 33: and so forth. And then they get very defensive when
• 57:25
  Speaker 33: you question them on anything. You know, that's not your business. Well, okay,
• 57:29
  Speaker 33: if you and I or anyone who's listening is a
• 57:33
  Speaker 33: taxpayer in the state of Connecticut, Don't you have a
• 57:35
  Speaker 33: right to know where your tax money is being spent?
• 57:38
  Speaker 33: Or we have a totally non-transparent government where, you know,
• 57:44
  Speaker 33: you work for government and that's it, and you just
• 57:46
  Speaker 33: accept what your government officials do for you. That's wrong.
• 57:50
  Speaker 33: But getting back to the business function, if Connecticut is
• 57:53
  Speaker 33: going to survive in the future, it has to maintain
• 57:57
  Speaker 33: a job space. The only way you're going to maintain
• 57:59
  Speaker 33: a job space is having businesses create jobs, contrary to
• 58:02
  Speaker 33: what everyone says. Every elected official seems not to believe
• 58:07
  Speaker 33: in or not believe that. So unless you have the stores,
• 58:10
  Speaker 33: unless you have the data centers, unless you have, you know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 33: different types of businesses that can create jobs for people
• 58:19
  Speaker 33: who have different levels of skills and education, your quagmire
• 58:25
  Speaker 33: economy is going to last forever. You're going to be
• 58:28
  Speaker 33: 50 out of 50 states, and congratulations because You brought
• 58:32
  Speaker 33: it on yourself. No one else did.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: It boggles my mind, which obviously is not an expansive
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: one as to if you've got, you know, if you're
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: consuming at a certain level or if money is just
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: going out at a certain level, and to your point,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: the budget keeps increasing and increasing, and you've got a
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: diminishing number of taxpayers, and not only that, but Who
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: are the taxpayers that you lose? You lose the couple
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: that's maybe in their 50s, and between them they've got $ 250, 000
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: a year adjusted.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Gross income. Not wealthy, but have some money. And they're
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: being replaced by, you know, whatever you want to call it,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: a job in Lowe's or a job in the Target
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: or something like that. And then in the minds of government,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, Look at all these people we've employed,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: but they never look at, quote-unquote, the income loss of things.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: And the fact that if.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: You have more income, you will be able to buy
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: more things, and that will radiate... You never, ever, ever
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: see that.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: And it's like, I think... And the other thing, Bob,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: they don't get is... And I say this, I will.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Again, I'm Warren Stangelo's youngest favorite broken record son.
• 59:56
  Speaker 36: The.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: The risk factor we talked about this morning, presumably somewhere
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: between 60-something and 90,000 people have drive-only licenses, and they
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: are not, shall we say, noncitizens or presumed to be noncitizens.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: what kind of a risk does that cause to the public?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: In other words, if they're driving and they can't read
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: English signs and they don't know what the symbols mean
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: and they're going around the car and the car is
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: uninsured and all that, it's like, hey, wow, gee, great.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: You know, net little money.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 33: Well, the risk you're creating is that you're creating excessively
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 33: high insurance costs for those people who legally drive. You're
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 33: creating high costs of repair, replacement, so on and so forth.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 33: Because your car gets damaged by someone who has a
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 33: drive-only license. They have no insurance. Your insurance has to
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 33: pick it up. And it just continues to roll on
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 33: and on and on. And what fascinates me is the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 33: amount of time the Democratic Party spends defending these people
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 33: when they have an economy in collapse. I mean, where
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 33: are your priorities? What are your priorities? Do you have
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 33: any priorities? It doesn't even make sense to me. You
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 33: need jobs. You need to create and get Connecticut moving again.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 33: You need to pay down debt, so on and so forth.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 33: What is the plan? No, the plan is your junior U.S.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 33: senator walks around Connecticut in a staged event talking about
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 33: how bad President Trump is. You have the defense of
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 33: all these people with the drive-only license. You have the
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 33: defense of, oh, I can't count votes on time, so
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 33: on and so forth.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 45: It's ridiculous.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 33: You know, people have to realize this is costing you
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 33: a lot of money in a lot of different ways,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 33: not only in taxes, your high insurance rate, your high
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 33: property insurance rate, so on and so forth.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: It is, and they don't– how can I put it?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: When will– because I'll tell you something. Okay, I'm going
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: to be Mike Wallace here, warts and all. Bob, I'm
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: not seeing any campaign. I'm not seeing any person proposing
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: to run for office today. that has yet, double underscore,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: bold letters, articulated an economic plan for Connecticut? What gets
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: us out of the mud? Or is your perception that, hey,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: what we're doing is just fine and everything's going to
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: be good and we're going to have the pizza trail
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: and tourism in and of itself? Tourism is important, especially
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: in this part of the state.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 33: Yeah, that's right. I haven't seen anything either. And I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 33: continue to question it because, again, as I've said numerous times,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 33: I look at things through economic terms. It is a
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 33: real simple fact in our society. You have to have
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 33: a job. You have to work. You have to earn money.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 33: You have different skill levels of people so that all
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 33: people need to be employed, whether or not they have
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 33: a Ph.D. or they just have a high school education.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 33: They only have an eighth grade education, so on and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 33: so forth. jobs are essential for the economy to work.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 33: The economy cannot function when the state takes over the
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 33: role of employer by social welfare benefit payments, so on
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 33: and so forth. It can't sustain it with, going back
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 33: to what you said, there are too many people in
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 33: that $ 200, 000 to $ 300, 000 yearly range of income who are
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 33: leaving the state Those jobs are being eliminated, so on
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 33: and so forth, and they're not going to maintain a
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 33: stimulating economy by paying an above-equilibrium minimum wage, which creates
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 33: less jobs rather than creating more jobs, contrary to what
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 33: they believe. So the retail sector, the few retail stores
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 33: that are opening, aren't creating high-level positions where they're going
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 33: to replace those other people who were making that kind
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 33: of money and paying that kind of taxes and spending
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 33: that kind of money which, believe it or not, stimulates
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 33: the economy because it creates a ripple effect in the economy.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: Well, and listen, you know, again, I'm in this warts
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: and all mood today. It's the day after Labor Day.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: And as my high school teacher would tell me, D'Angelo,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: let's get real. The fact that we don't have a
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: competitive tax structure at all for any reason whatsoever. Even
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: whatever's proposed is not competitive whatsoever as proposed for whatever reason,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: unless we get that, unless we get that elected official
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: or that person saying, this is going to be fair
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: and flat and diminishing and the costs are going to
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: go down and we're going to turn the corner. I mean, this,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: this thing continues on a train to nowhere. And, I'm
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: at the point now where I'm saying, when is a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: little bit better bad somehow good?
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 33: It's not.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: It just isn't.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 33: And it never will be. And the problem with Connecticut also,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 33: with its tax structure, there's so many different taxes on
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 33: so many different things that you really need, you know,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 33: it's a full-time job just to study what kind of,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 33: what is being taxed and why. And it seems that
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 33: all the money, for example, the... the meals tax that
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 33: was created, which is going to, or was supposed to
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 33: go to tourism. Apparently now that money's not going to tourism.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 33: It's getting, you know, funneled into the general fund, as
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 33: do most taxes in the state of Connecticut. So what
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 33: was the point of that? Just more money that the
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 33: state can collect so they can spend more money. Again,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 33: I go back to the point I made earlier. Why
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 33: has Connecticut's state budget increased by $ 1 billion per year
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 33: for the past eight years. Why? What are Connecticut taxpayers
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 33: getting differently or more of with that $ 1 billion? I
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 33: really can't see it, and a lot of people can't
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 33: see it either. So where's that money going? And again,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 33: if you did a full audit of the budget, I
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 33: think a lot of people would be scared because they'll
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 33: realize the amount of waste that Connecticut has in its
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 33: state budget, simply put. And start with the DECD, which
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 33: to me is very, very non-effective. And, you know, I
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 33: don't have to tell you. You see it, you know, readily.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 33: It's not doing what it's supposed to do. I don't
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 33: know what it is doing. It's picking and choosing winners
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 33: and losers and picking the Lamont winners. That's all they're
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 33: concerned with. And everybody else, you know, go pound sand.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: Well, and excuse me to introduce that into the discussion.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: There was a 128-page report. The firm doing it, it
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: was Clifton Allen Larson, I believe. Sometimes I get the
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Allen and the Larson confused. And it's fine work. And
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: it's not a quote-unquote on the first page.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: I was looking at it yesterday and just talk about
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: the smoke coming out of your ears. It's not an
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: audit in the audit sense for those people who are
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: out there familiar with the rules of public accounting, but
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: it's done to, they have to keep, this firm walks
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: a tightrope.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: They have to keep a high ethical standard. They can't
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: write works of fiction, even though their client, who is
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: the should-be-abolished Department of Economic and Community Development, would certainly
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: like to have, quote-unquote, a much more soft-soap approach. But
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: what What bothered me was that, and I've wrote some
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: of these things down. We can talk about them as
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: we head into the next half hour. But the news report,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: if you read the news report in the Connecticut Mirror
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: and other places and the Hartford Courant, everything is the
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Blue Hill Civic Association, Douglas McCrory, Sansare Cicero-Hamlin, and, and, and, and, and.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Bob, on that audit.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Report, which I will call it, There must be 100
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: nonprofit organizations where there is improper documentation, malfeasance.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: We don't know what happened. We really can't get our
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: hands on it. We asked. They didn't answer. And, and, and.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: And I'm just saying to myself, number one, there's no
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: mention of any of that in any sort of published
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: news report. Just look at the report. You can link
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: to the report. But it's like, how can you be
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: a public official? or an aspiring public official, look at
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: that and say, that's okay. No, that is not okay.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: That is taking taxpayer money in millions of dollars and
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: throwing it into the street. Not only that, but you
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: mean to tell me you cannot put a dashboard up
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: as to what these organizations are doing? Why is everything
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: cloak and dagger? It's like, oh, we'll do it. Oh,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: the legislature will make a proposal.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: It does not work because, Bob, if it were working.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: It would work.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 33: Exactly. And the problem with the political nepotism of that
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 33: commission and many commissions in the state of Connecticut is
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 33: They know they're covered. They know the Democratic Party can
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 33: cover them. They know this is a cush job. Just
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 33: give me a couple more years so I can get
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 33: my state pension. Blah, blah, blah. And it continues for
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 33: years now, for 35 years. It's the same song and
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 33: dance all the time. And the problem becomes, again, I reiterate,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 33: when the state runs out of money once and for all,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 33: when enough businesses have moved out of the state, enough
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 33: higher income businesses, individuals move out of the state and
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 33: stop paying taxes, you've got real serious problems. And then
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 33: the finger-pointing starts. So instead of getting a grasp on
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 33: it now, get an audit.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 44: Report like that, and the commissioner and the governor and
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 44: all the elected officials that we have, all these high-paid
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 44: officials that we have, okay, there's a major problem here.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 33: We need to address it now.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: And we're going to start another commission to And we're
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: going to start right there. We're coming up on a

  Speaker 31: and the incident remains under investigation. Rocky Neck State Park
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 31: was closed to all swimming on Monday after testing found
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 31: elevated bacteria levels in the water. The park and campground
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 31: remained open while the DEEP retests the water today. Norwich
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 31: police are investigating a targeted shooting Sunday afternoon in the
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 31: Burger King parking lot on Salem Turnpike. The male victim
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 31: went to Bacchus Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 31: One person was seriously injured in a suspected drunken driving
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 31: crash Sunday night on Route 2 in North Stonington. The
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 31: victim was flown to a hospital, and the driver was
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 31: arrested at the scene of.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 16: The accident and is now facing an OUI charge. I'm
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 16: David Fish. Have a great day today, and remember, when
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 16: news breaks, we break in.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Professor Bob Swick in the Power Hour. Thank you for
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: being here this morning, and we have an honor group
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: of the day. If you are those people who have
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: labored on Labor Day, then you are on the honor
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: group of the day on 94.9 News Now. But back
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: to Professor Bob Swick. I think we left off with
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: the DECD, and you begin where you.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: Want to begin, pal.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 12: Bob?
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 52: Getting it.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, hold up, Bob. Bob, are you there?
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 33: Yeah.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: You begin where you want to begin.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 33: Getting back to what we were talking about, and again,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 33: looking at the economic conditions in the state, I think
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 33: it's essential, really, for someone, anyone, to really... understand the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 33: magnitude of the economic problems in the state with the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 33: high taxes, with the issues of fraud going on, with
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 33: the issues of lackadaisical accounting procedures, so on and so forth.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 33: It is a serious issue, and it needs to be addressed.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 33: And honestly, if waste could be cut out of state government, conversely,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 33: waste gets cut out of local governments, you would see
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 33: much more economic stimulation. And I don't understand why this
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 33: is such a difficult topic to try to communicate to
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 33: people who are in government on both sides of the aisle.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 33: I just don't understand it.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: Me, myself, and I, I shudder to think about all
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: of the give the folks a little bit of background
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: that haven't been here. July 1st of this year was
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: the declaration date for Opportunity Zones in the United States
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: of America. Opportunity Zones are those places where there is some,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: where the per capita income is below a certain amount.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: And if one invests in that zone, if you will,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: and stays there for a certain number of years, they
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: can walk away as their sweat equity with a very
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: large tax-free profit. Now, to me, that's, if you're willing
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: to go to a place like parts of New Haven
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: or parts of Norwich or parts of Bridgeport or, you know,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: even going rural, right? There's a large part of rural
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: opportunity zones, you know, moving up the line, you know, Rogers, Killingly.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: If you're willing to do that, then you deserve to
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: take out what you get. Bob, this state has our
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: governor and our should-be-abolished Department of Economic and Community Development
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: have declared no, N-O, none, zero, zilch, nada, opportunity zones. Now,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: if I'm an investor and if I want to invest something, property, plant,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: and equipment, I'm not particular in as much as the
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: state I'm investing to. It's like, I love Connecticut. I'm
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: going to invest in Connecticut because I love Connecticut. No,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to invest in the place that is the
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: most favorable to me. And it's like, but then again,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: when I make an investment in state A, state number
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: A or letter A, I can't go to state B
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: because I've already invested my capital. And here we are
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: in September. Nothing's happening. We've completely missed this train. I
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: don't hear anybody talking about it because as well as
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: I understand it, there's 243 possible zones in Connecticut. Now,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: that speaks horrible economic conditions, if you will, in the state.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: The governor's supposed to nominate, I believe, at 63. He's
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: nominated nothing. So wherever this capital is going, it ain't
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: coming here. It's not creating those jobs. And you don't
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: hear anybody talking about that. You don't hear anybody campaigning
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: about that. It's just It drives me crazy.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 33: And I think the big reason why is a lot
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 33: of these zones, and I hate to say it, but
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 33: I think they're just being promised for political cronyism or whatever. Hey,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 33: we got this building here. We're going to cut you
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 33: a local tax break or we're going to cut you
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 33: a local or state tax break for it. The heck
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 33: with the opportunity zones, so on and so forth. The
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 33: more advanced investor is going to say, well, this really
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 33: doesn't make sense to me. You could have declared this
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 33: an opportunity zone. I could have gotten much more money
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 33: back than what you're offering me. Why should I even
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 33: invest in it? Oh, no, no, no. Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 33: You know, we'll take care of you. We'll take care
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 33: of you. I really believe that's what's happening, to be
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 33: honest with you. And I agree with you 100%. To
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 33: have that many possible opportunity zones in a state as
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 33: small as Connecticut speaks volumes of how bad the economy is.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 33: Contrary to Connecticut is working, Connecticut is moving, so on
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 33: and so forth. It's not. If you have that many
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 33: economically depressed areas, what are the problems? The problems will
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 33: include there's probably high crime. The problems will include there's
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 33: too high property taxes in that particular location, even with
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 33: the tax break. The problem is there are not enough
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 33: skilled workers to do what we're trying to do, and
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 33: we can't afford reinvesting all this money in this particular
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 33: property and then spending money to try to train workers
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 33: who we don't know what their work records are, what
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 33: their skills are, so on and so forth. So you've
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 33: got a lot of negatives going into that situation, which
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 33: compounds the economic problems of the state, of that location,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 33: of the Bridgeport, of the New Havens, of the Harfords
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 33: in Connecticut. And it is a serious economic problem. I
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 33: just wish someone, anyone, would just wake up who's running
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 33: or in office right now and say, hey, I think
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 33: this really needs to be addressed, and let's cut out
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 33: the infighting on it, and let's get to work on it.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: Well, and it's an amazing thing.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: It's like I'm going to swear and violate FCC premises
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: here and use a swear word in Connecticut, Trump. You
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: can't use the word Trump. You can't use the word
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: Trump account. You can't use the word Opportunity Zone. Why
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: can't you use the word Opportunity Zone?
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 33: You know, Tony, that's getting so stale.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: The hatred of Trump all the time.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 33: If they just understood the man is the businessman. He
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 33: knows what he's doing. for crying out loud. He's given
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 33: so many different opportunities to so many different states, both
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 33: Democrat and Republican states, to get the economy moving, become
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 33: a more self-sufficient economy. Why is this wrong is beyond
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 33: my comprehension. I don't understand it anymore. I really don't.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 33: And I'm tired of hearing that everything is Trump's fault,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 33: so on and so forth. Well, no, it's not. In Connecticut,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 33: if you look at things, it's the Democratic Party's fault.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 33: They've been in office for how many years They've controlled
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 33: all levels of state government, basically, for many, many years.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 33: And this is the record they're running on. And this
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 33: is the record that, in some cases, some of them
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 33: will be reelected on. And why? What is the point
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 33: of it? It's like you and I not going to
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 33: work and expecting a promotion daily, you know, every week,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 33: every year, or a raise every year, because look at me.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 33: I'm here, so I want it. That type of situation.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: Well, the amazing thing with all of that is they
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: will say, okay, we can't mention that dirty five-letter word,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: but whenever there's federal money being passed out, they're all
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: there at the peach baskets. It's just like, well, if
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: you hate the man that much, don't take federal money.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: It's either one or the other, but you can't have one.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 33: Well, they want it both ways.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 44: Exactly.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 33: It's just, again, tiring to listen to. You know, their
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 33: hatred of federal government, their hatred of all things Trump,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 33: and at the same time, oh, we need this, we
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 33: need that. Oh, you can't cut that. You can't cut this.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 33: You can't cut that. You know, it doesn't even make
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 33: sense anymore. And again, if we had a little stronger
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 33: media in the state, they would start questioning these things
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 33: and say, well, you know, this doesn't make sense economically.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 33: Look at a pure economics here. If the state was vibrant,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 33: businesses would be moving into the state. There would not
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 33: be that many opportunities owned. There will be peer, there
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 33: will be accessible, unemployment rates, not one of the highest
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 33: rates in the country. There would be a stable tax base.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 33: There would be lower taxes. There wouldn't be $ 28 billion
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 33: worth of spending where you can't account for probably half
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 33: of it. You wouldn't have these situations right now. But
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 33: yet you do. And yet it's supposed to be accepted.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 33: It's supposed to be embraced. It's supposed to be glorified it.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 33: Look at what we are doing. I mean, you just
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 33: got to stop, look at it, and in many cases
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 33: just laugh at what they're talking about.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's getting to the point where it's not
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: particularly funny. What has bothered me going back to, I'll
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: go back in my brain or what's left of it
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: as far as Lego. When Lego said, you know, we're
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: getting out of here. And others have followed. And then
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: the litany. And then it was just this whole thing of, well,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: Lego's getting out of here. Stefanowski pointed to Lamont and said, well,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: that's your fault. Lamont pointed to Stefanowski and said, well,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: that's Trump's fault. And no one gets to the fundamentals
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: of why is Lego pulling out. And the biggest thing, Bob,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: which honestly, truthfully, did not get enough airplay whatsoever. is
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: Stanley Black and Decker.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 8: Correct.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: It was this thing. I mean, Stanley was like New Britain.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: That was like bread and butter going back years and
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: years and years. And all of a sudden, this corporation decides,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: maybe not all of a sudden, but they say, we're
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: finally going to get out of here and maybe we'll
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: keep our branding.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'll keep offices here. Maybe we won't. But there
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: ain't nothing happening here.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: The then mayor, Erin Stewart, I mean, from what I'm
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: looking at and what I've seen, I didn't think she
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: knew Stanley Black and Decker from a Stanley Steamer antique automobile.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: And it was like, well, that was I thought they
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: were doing OK, I think. And it's just I'm saying
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: to myself, look at what they're doing in Mission, Texas.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Look at what they're building and what are they using?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: They're using Opportunity Zones. They're using the Working Families Tax Act.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: They're using OBBBA. They're creating things. They're using artificial intelligence.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: All these things which are going to, quote-unquote, be a
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: part of our economic lexicon going into the 21st century.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: And it's just like we're sitting there like the house
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: on the road gone by with a barrel saying.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: You know, well, yeah, they left.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 16: So what?
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: And like.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: When does the light go on, Bob? This is where
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: I'm at.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 33: Well, I wonder that, too. And again, you know, we've been, Tony,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 33: you and I have been talking about this for years.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 33: I mean, nothing changes. And I don't understand why there
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 33: is not more foresight, there's not more realization, whether you're
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 33: a Democrat or a Republican or from an independent source,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 33: independent party, that you don't see the economic turmoil, the
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 33: economic calamity, the economic hopelessness of a state that really
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 33: has just lost its way because of its quest to
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 33: satisfy all things liberal, all things politically correct, all things DEI,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 33: so on and so forth. It is wrong. It hurts
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 33: the people who are still the backbone of the state,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 33: who go to work every day, whether it's at a
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 33: retail job, or they have their own business, or they
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 33: have a lawn cutting business, so on and so forth.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 33: Whatever it is, they're working, they're producing, they are productive,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 33: they are creating revenue, which gets channeled into taxes, gets
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 33: channeled into personal spending, consumption spending, savings and investment. That's
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 33: how our economy works. And you could try to twist
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 33: it every which way you want, No matter what, this
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 33: is how our economy works. Government does not just come
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 33: up with this money and hand it to their political
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 33: cronies and everything is all right. Everything is created. You
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 33: have a state job for the rest of your life.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 33: You have no accountability. You're fine. It does not work
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 33: that way, contrary to what they want to believe, because
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 33: at some point the money runs out. Look at the
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 33: federal government, $ 40 trillion national debt. When I started teaching
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 33: in 1982, I said that the national debt is fast
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 33: approaching $ 1 trillion. I would write it on the blackboard,
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 33: $ 1 trillion. And what happened? It's at $ 40 trillion now.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 33: Nobody's listening. Nobody's comprehending the problems economically, especially in a
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 33: state as small as Connecticut and with as little population
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 33: as it actually has.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: And diminishing nonetheless. I mean, the To the point when
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: the light goes on, it's where— this.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: Is the thing which I say to myself. The debt mushrooms,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: you know, we hear the thing about the fiscal guardrails
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: and what a good thing that we have the fiscal guardrails.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: And one candidate will criticize the other as to the
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: fact that they want to blow the fiscal guardrails. And
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: to me, the fiscal guardrails, although not, shall I say,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: useless— This is like making your monthly credit card payment.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: But when that bill comes due on those unfunded mandates,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, that ain't that long in coming. And it's
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: where do you go after that?
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: This is the thing that blows my mind.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 33: Well, they have no plan for where to go after that.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 33: They're claiming victory, and they're starting to pay down some
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 33: of their pension deficits. But it's still not enough. You
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 33: still have so many different bonds that get rolled over
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 33: year in and year out that never get paid back.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 33: Now interest rates are higher, so they're paying more interest
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 33: on those same bonds, so on and so forth. And
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 33: how much more are you going to tax the people
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 33: in the state for then, again, to have more of
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 33: the higher-income individuals move out of the state? You know,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 33: we are at a point, realistically... Again, I reiterate, I
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 33: can't stress this enough. Someone needs to take charge of
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 33: what's going on economically in the state. It's obviously not
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 33: any state commission. It's obviously not any elected official. It
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 33: has to come out of the private sector. The private
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 33: sector has to really, you know, put it to the
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 33: state and say, listen, unless you change things here, unless
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 33: you create a better economic environment, we're out of here.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 33: And multiply that by, you know, the last major businesses
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 33: in the state then maybe somebody will wake up from
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 33: it one way or the other. It just doesn't make sense.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 33: We're looking at basic laws of economics. In Connecticut, it
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 33: seems that there's a separate rule of economics, and that
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 33: is government will take care of you from cradle to grave. Well,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 33: they can't. It's impossible to, and it will never happen.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 33: It creates more and more economic failure. So if you
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 33: want to go back to a period of the Depression
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 33: in the 1920s, early 1930s, you're welcome to it. But again,
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 33: if you have some foresight and you start saying, hey,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 33: we've got to stop. This is out of control. If
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 33: a nonprofit's getting money, then they need to be accountable
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 33: for it. If they're not accountable for it, we want
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 33: our money back. Simple as that. Why is that so difficult?
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 33: Because it's not politically correct, obviously.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: It's the critical issues, you know, and these are the
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: things that, you know, where I maybe I'm just a
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: sour old guy. Illegal immigration. The fact of We don't know.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: We don't know how many people are voting. And we
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: don't hear any, at least me, myself, and I, I
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: don't hear serious global criticism from political figures saying, hey,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: this ain't good. We got to stop it. The other thing, really,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: to sound like Archie Bunker, is socialism. I mean, the
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: fact that we've got this whole thing now that socialism
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: will save us, and we've got to have more of
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: a socialistic thing. And I hear from a lot of Republicans, well,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: we just can't convince the Democrats of that. It's like, well,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: maybe you could if you called them socialists and communists.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: You'd get somebody's attention at least.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 20: I'm watching this House program.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 33: I really believe that the love of this amnesty, the
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 33: love of this illegal voting system, you know, the driver's license,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 33: driving only, so on and so forth. It's just going
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 33: to help ruin our country, and it needs to stop.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 33: Socialism and communism has killed hundreds of millions of people
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 33: in our world. It does not work. They cannot give
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 33: any examples of where it has worked. And it gets
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 33: tiring to the point that you have so many different
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 33: economic issues. Now you've got to battle communism and socialism again.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 54: And for what reason?
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 33: Because some people are upset, and they're looking, hey, this
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 33: is going to be a great gravy train for us.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 33: We're going to control the wealth, and we're going to
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 33: get everybody to work for us. What's better than that?
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 33: So it's very, very problematic. And I do agree with you.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 33: The Republicans really need to start shouting out and start
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 33: really defending our country, defending our economy, and start offering
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 33: some real solutions, especially in Connecticut. the play we're going
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 33: to get the state back on track that uh... one-time
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 33: was one of the night the state in the country
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 33: once and today people try to avoid it at all
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 33: costs fatal week it it.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: Sure wasn't in the I don't hear, but what I
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: certainly see, is socialism is a very clever way of
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: taking someone who does not achieve, leaving them at that
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: level of achievement rather than improving them, and then pointing
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: to the other guy and saying, He's your problem as
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: to why you can't.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: He needs to give you money. And, I mean, I.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: Don't know why people running for office are not saying that,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: are not pointing this out. And it's, I mean, because
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: we've got to be nice. We've got to appear.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying to be mean or angry or violent
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. But, man, oh, man, can you imagine?
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, what becomes of America? basically.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 33: My biggest problem is, and again, is the disrespect for
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 33: the people who had family members who suffered in all
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 33: these different communist and socialist regimes. And, you know, all
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 33: that's forgotten. Oh, that's okay. You know, you march to
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 33: your death. That's fine. It's no big deal. Well, it
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 33: is a big deal. And it needs to be remembered. And,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 33: you know, we have an event coming up on Friday, 9-11,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 33: 25 years ago. People's crime was that they went to
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 33: work that day and they died. They were murdered and killed.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: Did not come.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 33: Home. To me, again, we need to wake up to
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 33: what's going on, especially in economic terms, especially in Connecticut.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 33: There's a golden opportunity being given to change government in November.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 33: People need to wake up and look at it and
• 1:40:06

• 1:49:55
  Speaker 23: It's Hugh Hewitt here with Ken and Nick Tumalo, hosts
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 23: of Tumalo Financial Radio, Sundays on 94.9. Guys, why do
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 23: taxes get overlooked in retirement planning?
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 14: Because the tax code is so complicated.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 56: You look at it, the 401k is pre-tax money.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 15: The Roth is tax-free.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 56: Your non-retirement accounts are capital gains, dividends, and interest.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 14: Your Social Security is tax-free. taxed by provisional income. I'm
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 14: giving you all these things and you're probably already confused.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 56: That's why you want to build out that two-month retirement
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 56: checkup to see short, first long-term effects on these type
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 56: of things. Because you never know, you might have been
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 56: saving well in those 401ks and you might have a
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 56: required minimum distribution issue at 73 or 75, depending on
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 56: year of birth. So you really don't want to look
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 56: at it just on a one-year basis.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I'm going to do a Roth conversion this year.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 15: It's going to take care of everything.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 56: No, Planning takes year over year on tax planning.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 15: You can't just do it in one year.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 35: One of the biggest things that we did find with
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 35: tax planning, especially for our listeners, was that it has
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 35: to be done over multiple years to actually gain an advantage.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 35: So it's not that simple where you just make one
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 35: change in one year. A lot of times it's the
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 35: planning piece of it. And when we do our two-month
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 35: financial retirement checkup, it actually looks like a big spreadsheet.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 16: And it shows the numbers over a whole bunch of years.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 35: We like to go out 24, even 30 years at
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 35: times when we're projecting out. Because if we can pick
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 35: up on some of these tax things and then start
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 35: to implement strategies, then what we can do is put
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 35: in front of you, the listeners, we can put in
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 35: front of them where they would save money in taxes
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 35: and how much over time. So it starts with that

• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: of the day on 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk, those
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: that labored on Labor Day. And somehow I think this
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: gentleman to my left here labored on Labor Day. Judge
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: John Nazero, how are you, friend?
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 57: I'm well.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 9: I'm well. It's good to be here.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 9: Having me again. A lot going on. I had a
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 9: day of rest, which is nice. Went biking with my wife.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 9: It was very bucolic out in Avondale. So here we are,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 9: back at work. Short week this week and a lot
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 9: going on. Thanks so much for having me. And shout

  Speaker 9: out to the Stonington RTC, Republican Town Committee. They got

  Speaker 9: And a lot of Republican high profile folks. Candidates will

• 1:54:25
  Speaker 9: be named will make an appearance. So come on down,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 9: Saltwater Farm. And so those that know, I'm a retired judge,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 9: so I'm back lawyering again. And it's always a pleasure. And,
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 9: you know, Tony D'Angelo, he's got quite the background. He's
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 9: very modest. You know, the man's got a law degree,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 9: and that's why he's so effective here on this program.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 9: But I want to talk about a couple things. And
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 9: sort of last night, going to bed, conviction in the
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 9: Tupac killings. Of 30 years ago. I don't know if
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 9: anybody caught that.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 9: That's kind of a big deal. You know, in the
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 9: rap community. And it took so long. 30 years. This
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 9: guy was on the run. And, you know, Tupac, I'm
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 9: not deep into the culture. But I will tell you
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 9: that it was a startling thing. So convicted of murder.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 9: And it was a payback situation. And there was a
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 9: lot of evidence way back when. Gang wars. It's hard
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 9: to believe it was 30 years ago. You know, so
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 9: we're coming up on 9-11.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 27: Right.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 9: Twenty five years for crying out loud. So the whole
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 9: issue of trials, et cetera, I have to mention the
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 9: trial out in Massachusetts, of course. And I'm having a
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 9: brain cramp.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 9: Lindsay Clancy.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 46: Yes.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 9: And so what's next? You know, and I and I
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 9: don't think it's been talked about enough because the prosecution
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 9: is reviewing the situation. And we talk about some legal
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 9: cases that have impact. And it was after seven days.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 9: And frankly, I'm not surprised at the result. Maybe folks
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 9: out there who want to call in are not surprised.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 9: And so the prosecution has to decide, will we go
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 9: through this again, put the burden to the people? It
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 9: looks like, I don't know if it's a fact, but
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 9: it looks like there were 11 in favor of acquittal,
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 9: one possible holdout. And I actually think the judge did
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 9: the right thing in not granting the defense motion to
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 9: excuse the juror. That's not the way it works. You know,
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 9: if there's a juror who's a holdout, And you can't
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 9: establish juror misconduct. You don't dismiss the jury and go
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 9: with the 11. So the prosecution was right not to
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 9: agree to stipulate possibly to having 11 render the verdict.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 9: Shout out to Jack Walsh, the late Jack Walsh, who
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 9: was a judge and a very accomplished criminal defense lawyer
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 9: before he was a judge. He was the defense lawyer
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 9: in what's called the Donnelly Bakery murders in Hartford, Connecticut.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 9: And Judge Walsh and I was a young prosecutor in
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 9: front of him. He said, you know, When you pick
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 9: a jury, you want to get one guy, one guy
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 9: who's a problem, one guy that's going to be the
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 9: monkey wrench in the process. And that's what happened, apparently,
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 9: in the Clancy case. Right or wrong, advocacy on both sides.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 9: And so the prosecution has to decide, do you want
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 9: to go through it again? You know, some say they
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 9: have to. They have to hold the system accountable. And
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 9: if it's going to be a not guilty, it's a
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 9: not guilty. But, boy, it's a lot of pain. It's
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 9: a lot of pain for a lot of people, so...
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 9: We'll see where it goes.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: In your humble estimation, can you find 12 people that
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: haven't heard that can approach this with a neutral mindset?
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's tough.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 9: It's nearly impossible. And, you know, you could talk about
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 9: change of venue, but it's national news. We have high-profile
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 9: cases here in Connecticut. And I tell you, it's hard
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 9: to find people willing to serve. And I will say this.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 9: I think the defense lawyer was out of line. OK,
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 9: I've been doing criminal defense work a lot, much longer,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 9: much longer than being a prosecutor. When you go to
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 9: attack a juror.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 33: Wow.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 9: That's that's out of bounds. That's out of bounds. I
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 9: think it's an ethical violation. And I think this Reddington,
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 9: although he was an aggressive cross-examiner, it's not right. He
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 9: could be brought before a disciplinary board. Because if you're
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 9: a juror, and I understand why jurors, people don't want
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 9: to serve. I actually respect an individual who comes into
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 9: court and says, you know, I really feel bad for you.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 9: I'd like to serve, but I'm self-employed. And if I
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 9: don't work, I don't eat. Some judges would give them
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 9: a hard time. There was a judge out in Western Connecticut.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 9: He where you're from, Judge Sarsfield Ford, he held somebody
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 9: in contempt and ordered an arrest warrant to go summon
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 9: a juror who wouldn't show up. That's not right. If
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 9: we're down to the point of arresting jurors or people
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 9: who don't want to serve, I'm going to tell a story,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 9: and they're not going to like it. When my brother
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 9: was summoned to jury duty, I was a judge at
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 9: the time, and he was summoned to federal court, Judge
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 9: Peter Dorsey, who happened to grow up in New London, Connecticut.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 9: And my brother's summoned to New Haven Federal Court. And
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 9: I said, Ed, Just tell the judge the truth. He's
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 9: probably going to suspect you're my brother. And he goes,
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 9: what do you mean? Well, first of all, you presume
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 9: most of the criminal defendants are guilty because you hope
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 9: the cops got it right. So this presumption of innocence stuff,
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 9: it's a fiction.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 4: It's a farce.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 9: And you can indoctrinate people all you want. But the
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 9: fact is we presume them to be guilty because most
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 9: people know of this concept known as probable cause. So
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 9: they probably did it. And no matter what the guy
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 9: in the robe says, you're going to have a hard time.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 9: So tell the judge the truth. The second thing, he
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 9: was an insurance executive. As an insurance executive inculcated in
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 9: the pro-insurance theory, he wasn't too crazy about plaintiffs and
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 9: plaintiff's lawyers like his brother John, who's sitting here today.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 9: Most of what I do is plaintiff's work. I said,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 9: just be honest. But you know what? They're not going
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 9: to like you. And the judge gave him a hard time,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 9: but the judge had to excuse him. He was being honest.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 9: So let's stop. The charade, you know, in the words
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 9: of Captain Hook, let's stop the charade and get people
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 9: that want to serve. I mean, what rock are you
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 9: living under?
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 33: Right.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 9: If you haven't heard about the Clancy case, that's the
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 9: real scare. When people answer questions in voir dire, Connecticut
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 9: is one of two states. I talk about it all
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 9: the time. We only have two states in the country
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 9: in state court where we can ask individual questions of
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 9: individual veneer men. And that's guaranteed to us by the
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 9: Connecticut Constitution. There are judges who never represented human beings.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 9: They worked for the state attorney general's office. They were prosecutors.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 9: They don't understand the value of that, the one-on-one discussion,
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 9: to find out if the person is genuinely impartial. And
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 9: it asks a lot of people to donate a week,
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 9: two weeks, three weeks, be sequestered. You know, for what?
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 9: The $ 50 compensation or whatever it is per day? You
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 9: can have it. I'm a trial lawyer, and it's just
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 9: rough to get people willing to serve. And if you
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 9: do it God bless you. God bless you.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: Where do you think this goes?
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, I almost feel that they're going to
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 9: be compelled to try this case again. And it's got
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 9: nightmare written all over it. But I think because of
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 9: the public import of the case, sometimes you have to
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 9: retry cases. In New London County, and they're not going
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 9: to like me saying this, there's a lot of cases
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 9: that have been reversed by our Connecticut Supreme Court murder
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 9: cases that have been remanded for retrial. And there are
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 9: a lot of judges assigned to the criminal docket. We
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 9: lost a civil judge. This is what happens. There's so
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 9: many ways for a judge to make error when trying
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 9: a case. And there are no bigger stakes, right, than
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 9: a murder case or a sexual assault case. There's so
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 9: many ways a judge can step in it. And the
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 9: Supreme Court recently ruled in a New London case that
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 9: the prosecutors didn't do a good thing in permitting perjury
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 9: in a case. And they remanded it in a sharp,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 9: sharp rebuke. by Justice McDonald. And so we had to
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 9: do it all over again. That means you've got to
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 9: call the witnesses again. You've got to put the victim's
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 9: family through the pain again. And I've got to tell you,
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 9: in sexual assault cases especially, wow. I mean, to withstand
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 9: one trial, let alone two. And then the murder cases,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 9: you've got the victim's family, all the evidence, all the forensics.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 9: It's very expensive. So you've got to get it right
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 9: the first time, and you've got to put your best
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 9: step forward. I mean, the prosecution took some heat, maybe
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 9: rightfully so. that they waited too late in the game
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 9: to get their experts. And then it becomes a battle
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 9: of the experts. I don't like that. I don't particularly
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 9: like battles of the experts. I think jurors can see
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 9: through this stuff. When I was a judge and chief
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 9: habeas corpus jurist, I had trials four to five days
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 9: a week on sentenced prisoners doing 40, 50 years. And
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 9: there was a lot of evidence about involuntary confessions. And,
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 9: you know, I had one case where there was three
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 9: people who made confessions and And then they came in
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 9: 20 years later saying, oh, they were, you know, exacted
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 9: these false confessions. They were false. And I got an
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 9: expert in from John Jay College to try to persuade
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 9: me that all three of them were hoodwinked by the police.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 9: You know, unfortunately, it can happen. Peter Riley, the famous
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 9: Peter Riley case, the death of Barbara Gibbons years ago,
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 9: where Justice Speziale, then a trial judge, granted a habeas
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 9: corpus and Peter Riley was set free. Arguably, there was
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 9: a lot of evidence. to link Peter Riley to the
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 9: death of his mother. But the case was vacated. So
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 9: a lot going on.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 9: A lot of emotions run high. I'm surprised at some
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 9: of the commentary. And I know many conservatives believe, how
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 9: can you not find her guilty? I mean, she killed
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 9: three kids. She should be given the needle. It's not
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 9: that simple. We don't hold people accountable if they're not
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 9: in their right mental frame. but whether it arises to
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 9: not guilty by reason of insanity, temporary insanity. There was
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 9: a case many years ago, some 50 years ago, Don Spargo,
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 9: State v.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: Spargo.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 9: There are those out there who might remember this. He
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 9: worked for Electric Boat, and he was an engineer, if
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 9: I'm not mistaken, walked into a court in Norwich in
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 9: the divorce court, looked at his wife and said, you
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 9: really want to go through with this? And she said, yeah,
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 9: pulled out a pistol, shot her dead in the courtroom upstairs.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 9: I believe Judge Santanello was on the bench, and he
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 9: was tried, and Leo McNamara represented him. And he actually
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 9: got a murder, too, if I'm not mistaken. Heat of
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 9: passion type verdict. And he served some five, seven years.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 3: I think he's out.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 9: Unless he's deceased. I think he got out. And, you know,
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 9: because they recognized he was in this fugue, this psychiatric term,
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 9: out-of-body sort of experience. He wasn't in his right mind.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 9: You know, no violent history. Doesn't pose a danger to
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 9: the public. So these are controversial cases. It does happen.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 9: I don't know where it goes. What do you think?
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 9: What do you think, Counselor?
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: You have a law degree.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 9: What can you tell our listeners?
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can cop.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 2: Out and say not my area at all, which is
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 2: why I have you here. But the interesting thing, I think,
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 2: is it will go to probably another mistrial. I think fundamentally,
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: this is just my very cursory argument, Stupid way of
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 2: looking at it. I think we have another one of
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 2: these John Gotti Jr.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 33: Things.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: You can try them till the cows come home.
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 9: And you're going to come up with the same thing.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 9: You know, it's it's very difficult when you got 11.
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 9: If if you brought your B game, let alone your
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 9: A game prosecutors. But, you know, sometimes, again, there could
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 9: be a not guilty. It demands it. It's very difficult,
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 9: very difficult situation. But there are other things in the
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 9: news also. We've got some other headlines we were talking
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 9: about a little bit off mic, and that is there's
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 9: a couple cases the Supreme Court is now scheduling arguments.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 9: One of them is a Connecticut case involving guns and
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 9: whether or not the ban against so-called assault rifles is valid.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 9: So the Supreme Court has consolidated two cases, and they're
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 9: going to hear an argument in December, and we'll see
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 9: whether those types of laws— and there's a lot of folks
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 9: involved in Connecticut— who's Second Amendment people, and they don't
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 9: like to see this particular law stand, so-called assault rifle ban.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 9: I remember a good friend of mine. I talk about him.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 9: He's a former very high-level CIA. He retired in 2012.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 9: We grew up together in Gales Ferry. We're in the
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 9: Navy community. And he ended up being a full-time firearms
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 9: instructor in North Carolina. He said, well, define assault rifle.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 9: What is an assault rifle? And, you know, it's interesting.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 9: He got very involved with gun owners of America as
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 9: opposed to the other the other group. You know, I
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 9: will tell you that we'll see what happens because some
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 9: of these laws are being struck down. You know, the
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 9: New York law, the restrictions, Washington, D.C., a lot of
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 9: these high crime areas. So people who are Second Amendment
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 9: proponents have some hope, have some hope. Because it is
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 9: the Second Amendment for a reason, right? Now we're going
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 9: to get people cranked up. They're going to call. It's
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 9: the Second Amendment for a reason, folks. The right to
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 9: bear arms shall not be infringed. It's a shall.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 2: One thing I do want to get to before we
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 2: run out of time because it just moves so quickly.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: What is happening with the weaponization fund and the precedent?
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, this is weird.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 9: I've got to tell you, I think this kind of
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 9: lawsuit that Trump filed and the publicity over it, the
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 9: negative publicity, is hurting Trump. It's hurting the Republicans. The
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 9: judge basically said, well, you've got this weaponization fund, $ 1. 8 billion, right?
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 9: You have to show a justification on who's going to
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 9: get the money. So now the lawyers are scrambling. And
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 9: this is what's stealing the headlines. One can argue that
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 9: the Republicans are going to take it in the neck
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 9: in the midterms because of this kind of lawsuit and
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 9: the controversy over the ballroom. And you got veterans suing
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 9: the DOJ about construction of the arch, right, whether the
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 9: arch is going to be built. Meanwhile, inflation is climbing.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 9: Interest rates are probably going to go up. You know,
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 9: I heard the talk. I was listening. $ 43 trillion. This
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 9: is a real deficit. This is going to hurt Republicans, right?
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 9: So the weaponization fund, a lot of people argue the
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 9: whole lawsuit was pretextual. How do you put this money aside?
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 9: And the attorney general nominee, Todd Branch, says, no, we're
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 9: not doing it, right? We're not doing it. His own guy,
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 9: Trump's own guy, says we're not going to do it
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 9: because he knows it's folly. But, you know, this kind
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 9: of thing is he backed into a corner. Did Trump
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 9: back himself into a corner where now he's stuck, right?
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 9: But bad publicity after bad publicity, not a good thing.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, and I mean, you're asking me to
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: opine on things from the practice chair.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 20: Mm-hmm.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: I've seen taxpayers' clients ruined by government processes. I've seen it.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: I deal with it now. I've also seen, in.
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 2: Order to get justification for that, Judge, you've got to
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: go through an unbelievable mousetrap that few people understand.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 15: That's right.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 9: You have experience in this.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's terrible.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: So I say to myself, and yet you have people
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 2: wronged by government processes. should there not be redress for them.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 2: But the other thing is, I think to your point,
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 2: this thing came out the wrong end. And then the
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 2: whole media thing is, well, Trump is writing a blank
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: check for himself, and he made a settlement based upon
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: what was done to him. Now, I will say this,
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 2: and I did this with the person that.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: We can't talk about, when we were on the Mike
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: Gallagher show, I looked at the Richard Neal reports that
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: spent millions of dollars looking at the horrible things that
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: the president had done. There wasn't whimper, nothing.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: He made one stupid error on misjudging a valuation of
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 2: an easement, which nobody understands. So it's like it's– I
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 2: get torn with it, but I understand we're in our
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 2: last minute.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 9: No, that's okay. It's a bad look. That's the problem.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 9: It's a bad look any way you cut it. People
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 9: forget about the merits of something, right? But you look
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 9: at the appearance. Appearance matters. And what's the flavor? What
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 9: do you take away from the whole process? And I
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 9: certainly agree. And the old expression, right, the process is
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 9: the punishment. And gosh knows they put him through so much.
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: They sure did.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 9: You know, I'd like to have a conversation with Nora Dennehy,
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 9: who's now a justice of the Supreme Court. I've talked
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 9: about this before because Nora was a prosecutor, U.S.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 16: Attorney.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 9: She jailed John Rowland twice and she stepped off the investigation,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 9: you know, into the Durham report. She stepped down from
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 9: that and she revealed in her confirmation hearings that she
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 9: felt it was very politicized. She said, basically, I'm being pressured,
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 9: you know. Well, I think we're getting the bell. All right,
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 9: we got the bell.

• 2:20:27
  Speaker 2: September 8th morning show. If you missed the honor group
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 2: of the day, it's people that labored on Labor Day.
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 2: If you labored on Labor Day, then you are in
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 2: the honor group of the day on 94.9. I understand
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 2: we have callers who will save me from myself. First,
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: we have Jan. Jan, how are you, dear?
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 59: I'm doing pretty well. You sound like you're doing well.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: Well, actually, I've got a lot of help today, so
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 1: I'm very grateful.
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 59: Well, yeah, that's good. So, you know, we haven't talked
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 59: about the missing children in a while. So it's very
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 59: disappointing that the media hasn't done much reporting on Xavier Beccaria.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 59: It's Beccaria, yeah, was killed. being looked into because the
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 59: whistleblower games forward about those kids that are missing. And
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 59: the media is pretty much ignoring it. Now, there were
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 59: just about 480,000 unaccompanied minors who came over that border.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 59: I mean, that is a lot of children. Now, some
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 59: of them were gang members, you know, like they.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 9: Were 15, 16.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 59: And some of them were teenagers brought over and forced
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 59: into gang work. We know that. We know that they've
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 59: been found in various industries and et cetera. But many
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 59: of those were very, very young children. And the person
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 59: who blew the whistle on them was actually from El Salvador. Well,
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 59: her parents were from El Salvador. They came to California.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 59: She was born here. And she was working to take
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 59: care of the kids, and she was horrified to discover
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 59: how they were being treated. So she blew the whistle
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 59: on it. In May, they asked Javier Beccaria about it,
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 59: and nothing much that I can really have heard has
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 59: happened about that. So she said kids were routinely ignored
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 59: because of pressure to read– reunified minors with sponsors despite
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 59: no between children and people who claim siblings were separated
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 59: kids were moved out in the dark of night kids
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 59: were raped a 14 year old was raped there or
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 59: etc etc I mean we could go on and on
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 59: with this.
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 33: This is a shame.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 59: This is a blot on America. And who has found
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 59: some of these kids?
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 33: ICE.
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 34: All right.
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 59: This is one of the things that bothered me. You
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 59: might be upset about some of the methods of ICE
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 59: or this or that. Most of the time I hear
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 59: from people that they're misinformed or, you know, the ICE
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 59: agent really did, you know, do something wrong. However, Those
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 59: are the only people, as far as I know, if
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 59: you know some other agencies, I mean, local police I
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 59: know find them, et cetera. It's law enforcement. It's ICE
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 59: who has found these kids. These kids, this is a
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 59: stain on America, and it's very disturbing to think that
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 59: people are so involved in their politics, their party politics,
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 59: whether it's voters or or members of a party who
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 59: won't break with their party and vote, that they can
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 59: ignore 480,000 missing children. It's a sin, isn't it, Tony?
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you have me thinking, which is a rare moment,
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 2: but my first thought, Jan, is where's Catholic Charities? I mean,
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 2: this is what Catholic Charities used to do.
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 1: They would be the advocate.
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 2: For the lost, the orphaned, the people who had no,
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 2: you know, the protector of those that cannot protect themselves. Now,
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 2: I will say this as one who was raised Catholic.
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 2: You can be whatever religion you choose to be. But
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 2: I get a lot of mail in from deceased Catholic clients.
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 2: They keep me on the list because When I was
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 2: receiving mail for them, I would get that in my lockbox.
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 2: And what I'm getting, rather than that thought I have
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 2: of the welfare of people, are we sure we can
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 2: protect them? Well, a lot of the literature I read
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 2: is no person is illegal. We welcome everybody. We can't
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 2: turn people away. And I'm saying to myself.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 2: If you really feel that you can handle the masses
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 2: and have these kids wandering around, you don't know what's
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 2: happening to them. To your point, they're getting raped. They're
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 2: getting hurt. They're being exploited. I mean, it's like I
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting here listening to you and I'm cringing. It's
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 2: like the world has gone mad now.
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a.
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 2: A guy years ago walking around Nazareth called Jesus that said,
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 2: if you hurt that kid, you know, it'd be better
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 2: for you. If you had a millstone, you were dragged
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 2: in the sea. I mean, it's just this thing. How
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 2: can you not follow your ideology, which is based on
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 2: for their perception?
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 1: They call it the Holy Scriptures.
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 2: And I listen. I mean, I'm so grateful that you're
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 2: mentioning this. Hundreds of thousands of people will listen to it.
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, now I'm going to be a whole lot
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 2: more aware of where I'm going, what's happening to children.
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 1: This is really disgraceful and disgusting.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 3: And it is.
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 59: And the sheer numbers of them, that's just the ones
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 59: we know about. We also know many of them were
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 59: actually brought to America because Americans considered the, I would
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 59: call it the kind of... children's market and then moved from,
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 59: you know, they moved them up from mostly from Central America,
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 59: South America, Mexico, moved them into Connecticut. Connecticut, yes, into
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 59: the Connecticut as well as the entire country. And we
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 59: became a distribution point. Look, I know some people don't
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 59: believe in any sort of God, but I think that
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 59: a lot of people believe in a God of some kind.
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 59: You really think God is going to bless us or
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 59: this country when we are a distribution point for minor
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 59: children for abuse, whether it's slave labor, whether it's sexual abuse,
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 59: whether people buy them almost like servants take them into
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 59: the house. I remember when I was adopting my daughter
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 59: from South Korea. Part of the home study was to
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 59: make sure you weren't adopting children a child, especially an
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 59: older child, to bring them in as a servant because
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 59: people did that or tried to do that. Not with
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 59: this agency.
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 49: It was reputable.
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 59: They made sure that wasn't happening. But there is no
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 59: way we are going to reap any good from this.
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 59: And anybody who is up there, and I know Christians
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 59: who don't like ICE, and they won't listen when I
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 59: try to point out, you may not like some of
• 2:28:10
  Speaker 59: what ICE does, you may have your theories about immigration,
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 59: but they're the ones who are rescuing these kids.
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: Well, nobody else does.
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 59: Well, thank you, Coach.
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: And thank you, Jan.
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 2: And it's 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk, and I understand
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 2: we have our friend Coach Leo.
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 1: Leo, how are you, pal?
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 33: Hey, Tony, good to hear you.
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 34: Hope everything's well.
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 34: You know, I listened to Jan just now, and, you know,
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 34: part of the problem with this whole stealing of these.
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 33: Kids, our country's become soft.
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 34: I mean, if they got just one, one perpetrator, and
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 34: dealt with them in the old biblical sense of an
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 34: eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, maybe some
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 34: of the other ones would think twice before they try
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 34: to traffic these kids or steal these kids.
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 33: You know, my.
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 34: Intent this morning, though, I wanted to talk.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 33: Chris.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 34: Powell wrote an article in that rag-of-a-day paper this morning.
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 34: I can't believe they even let him print... They print
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 34: his articles about education, and the Lamont and the state
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 34: educators are touting the minuscule improvement in standardized test.
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 33: Scores, you know?
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 34: And it's another example, Tony, of the old line with statistics.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 34: So I think One study showed them they went up
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 34: six-tenths of a percent, and another, there was another one
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 34: that was maybe less than that, or six percent. But,
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 34: you know, at the end of the day, first of all,
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 34: any of these standardized tests, these high-stakes tests, are socioeconomically biased,
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 34: because you're taking a one-size-fits-all assessment, and you're trying to
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 34: put kids of all different abilities and have them take
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 34: it and then base your statistics and results offer those scores.
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 33: And I think that's wrong.
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 34: The other thing is, and you were talking about taxes
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 34: and people complain about the amount of money in education.
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 34: Until we get our minds right and start working from
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 34: preschool to about third grade, maybe in some cases fourth grade,
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 34: and go back to teaching reading, writing, mathematics, and basic science...
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 34: We're never going to get ahead. We're going to be
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 34: at the bottom of the apple barrel forever because when
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 34: you want to teach all these avant-garde, you know, let's
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 34: play a game, let's, you know, and I'm not saying
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 34: that the arts and music and all that stuff is
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 34: not important, but God's sakes, Tony, our kids can't read
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 34: and write. They don't know basic.
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 33: Facts about history, right?
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 59: Civics.
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 34: And I think until we do that, We're kind of
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 34: the laughing stock, and we get, for every bona fide
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 34: educated kid we put out, we're probably putting out five
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 34: or six that, you know, can't add one and one
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 34: and come up with two.
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 33: And I don't say that in.
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 34: A cruel way, but unfortunately, I mean, I saw it
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 34: in my 44 years as a teacher.
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 5: It's so.
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 1: Disheartening.
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 2: And I actually want to get all the callers in,
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 2: but I've always suggested to people that they should watch
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 2: that Marva Collins movie where Cecily Tyson played Marva Collins
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 2: and how she started the school in Chicago and she
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 2: took the worst kids and made them exemplary because she,
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 2: and they were all kids of color, she taught them
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 2: in a way that they could understand as opposed to
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 2: your point about bias. You know, and she's like, these
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 2: kids will learn differently than other kids.
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 1: And you look at.
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 2: Those kids today, Leo, and each one of them has
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 2: done incredible things. Listen, we can go on for days,
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure we can, but I do want to
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 2: allow time for our last caller. Thank you so much
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 2: for calling. And we've got Dan from East Hampton.
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 54: Hey, Tony, thanks for taking the call.
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 54: I hope I'm not coming too far out of left field,
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 54: but I just wanted to comment on this. Clancy, the
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 54: woman who strangled her three children, and how incredulous I
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 54: am about the fact that you put together a jury
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 54: in the United States of America and that only one
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 54: person can view it as a murder and the other
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 54: 11 can't. I just, and now, I don't know if
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 54: you saw this in the news, but in Illinois, not one,
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 54: but now there's two copycat murder people that supported Clancy.
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 54: They were pretty rabidly pro-Clancy. You know, that they wanted
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 54: her to just walk out of the courtroom as a
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 54: free person after strangling her three children. I mean, I'm
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 54: laughing so that I don't scream and cry. Now there
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 54: are killing their kids, like, in solidarity with Clancy. I
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 54: have to say that I feel like we have uncorked
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 54: some barrel that should not have been uncorked. We have
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 54: gone off the rails. We're not even debating trimesters anymore.
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 54: You're talking about toddlers, you know, that they're four years old.
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 54: We live in a country that's so morally bankrupt now.
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 54: that you can't look at the murder of a four-year-old
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 54: and call it murder? I mean, where do you go
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 54: from here? Where exactly do we go from here? We're
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 54: like the old heathen nations, throwing, you know, flinging the
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 54: children up into the arms of the flaming moloch, you know,
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 54: so that we can have a better crop or a
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 54: better life or a better lifestyle or whatever it is.
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 54: And I don't... You know, I'm at a loss to
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 54: even frame this in a way that is not just tears.
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 33: I mean, where do we go? If you pull a.
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 54: Jury of 12 people and only one of 12, one
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 54: man of 12, the rest wanted to do what? Just
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 54: let her walk out of the courtroom? You murder your children?
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 54: and you're just going to go free walking around?
• 2:34:50
  Speaker 33: I mean, okay.
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 54: So we're supposed to accept postpartum depression as being an
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 54: acceptable out for murder? Then can you tell me how
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 54: we could ever allow... If postpartum depression, a hormonal issue
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 54: in women, is supposedly the out for murder, then how
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 54: can we say.
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 33: How could you.
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 54: faithfully hire women into any position ever again. You say, oh, well,
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 54: you know, she opened the drawbridge and let all the
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 54: cars spill into the bay. She was just having a
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 54: bad day. Well, she's not guilty, even though 20 people
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 54: plunged to their death underneath the drawbridge.
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 33: Or, I mean, the age-old.
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 54: Joke about not being able to be in charge of
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 54: the nuclear code.
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 33: Oh, well, I just got so angry.
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 54: I was just having such a bad day that I
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 54: just decided to nuke New Zealand.
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 33: I mean, seriously.
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 1: This is really, yeah, it's the thing.
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 54: It's time for women to sort of, like, get around
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 54: a sort of core moral structure somehow or another and
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 54: start trying to, like, redeem their state in life. I mean,
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 54: these issues, these, you know, these abortion issues, I'm 1.1 million.
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 54: And this is from the slippery slope of what about
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 54: rape and incest? or this should be safe and rare,
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 54: and now we're at 1.1 million, and it's not stopping
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 54: at the womb. You know, they passed these birthday abortion
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 54: laws up in Massachusetts, and it's not stopping at the womb, Tony.
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 54: It's spilling out into their fourth, fifth, sixth birthday.
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 33: And it's like, well, it's their children.
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 54: So, you know, they were just We should just feel
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 54: bad for them because they were having a bad day.
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 54: And it's not just the women. I mean, one of
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 54: these copycat murderers, these clancy supporter murderers in Illinois is
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 54: a guy.
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 44: He just stabbed up his toddler because he's a clancy supporter.
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 2: That's my struggle. You know, when the lowest common denominator
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 2: of human behavior keeps getting lower and we're children. I mean,
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 2: it was bad enough, Dan, during the 1930s with Jackie Coogan,
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 2: you know, Uncle Fester on the Adams family and his
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 2: family just abused him and took all his money. Read
• 2:37:18
  Speaker 2: about the Coogan's case and Coogan's law in California, where
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 2: the judge said a child is the property of his parents.
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 2: And it's like we've gone from that to something right
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 2: now that's like unimaginable to. And I think what you're
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 2: hitting on is respect for human life. Where is the
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 2: respect for human life to where it's wrong to hurt
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 2: a kid? OK, you know, in these cases of somebody
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 2: flying off the handle should not be commonplace anyway.
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 1: We've got to get out. Thank you for calling.

• 2:43:08
  Speaker 2: I'll cost you an arm and a leg. He says, well, hey,
