  Speaker 1: Good morning. This is George Agnelli from Anderson Jewelers and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Agnelli Real Estate. And I'm filling in on the Lee
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Elsie show on 94.9. Plan on bringing you a great
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: show today. At 6.20, we're going to have Linda Sinkwins,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the founder and CEO of End Voter Fraud. We are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to have Brian Fazio on from 7 to 8.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And we're going to have John Bolton on from 8
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to 9. So we plan on bringing you a really good,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: exciting show. We'll talk about the new topics, talk about
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: everything that's going on. One of the big things we're
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: going to talk about is all the problems that are
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: happening at our community colleges since Lamont made the Board
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of Regencies. There has been nothing but chaos. There has
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: been nothing but one DEI hire after another as chairman.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: They've been using Connecticut's credit cards like their own piggy
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: bank for trips and travel and food, and they've been
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: getting released, yet they're still getting paid because they're under contract.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So we're paying like two people half a million dollars
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a year each and benefits, and they're not even working
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in the school system anymore. Now we can see Joyce Jenkins,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: one of the board members in 40 years. I mean,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: her tenure is at Princeton, all different college boards. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: she's abruptly resigned because of what Lamont is doing and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: not paying attention to what's going on. So not only
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is that going on, the Department of Education has not
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: filed an audit since 2015 of all the personal belongings
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of all the computers, of all the auditing. Nobody knows
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: what's going on with what's going on because since 2015,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: they say, oh, we have staff shortages. That's why we
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: can't give this audit in. We're going to talk about
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that with John Bolton today. We're going to talk about
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the sexual misconduct and transparency at the community colleges and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: all the other issues that are going on there with
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Ryan Fazio. And the list just goes on and on
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and on of all these issues going on in the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut. And they all hover around one person. And,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you know. owning a jewelry store, Channel 3, Channel 30,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Channel 8, the Hartford Courant especially, they come in and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they go, you don't advertise with us anymore. I said, well,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: when you become a real news media outlet again, I'll
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: start advertising with you. They won't push any of the agendas.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So Attorney Tong went against special education students saying that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: they didn't deserve an extra year of education and he
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: wanted it removed. In 2019, he lost the case. The
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: judge said this is wrong and this should not happen
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this way. They deserve the same education that the other
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: children who are not disabled get until they're 22. So
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: he didn't like the decision, and then he appealed the decision,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and he lost that case as well. So here's a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: guy claiming, but now, if they were illegal disabled students,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he'd fight for them to stay in school until they're 25.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And this is the guy that's on there saying, well,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we're bad, we're this, we're that. All these different things
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: are going on. And when you look at what Tong
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: has done to the disabled people in Connecticut that are
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: citizens of Connecticut, cutting their education short, and he was
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: ordered to pay, I think, $ 106, 000 per student for compensatory
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: damages for what he did. And again, no news media
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: outlet has picked up on this. Nobody is talking about it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And that's why I came on these shows, because I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: want to talk about what's really going on, what's really
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: happening in the world. And you can't even imagine what's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: going on. And because our news media turns a deaf ear,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: looks the other way, they're getting paid by somebody. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: have yet to figure that out. But how they're not
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: reporting the real news, what's really happening in the state
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of Connecticut. Lamont's office is missing $ 2. 8 billion. Billion dollars.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in personal equipment like cars, vehicles, computers, that have not
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: been audited and nobody knows where it is. It's $ 2. 8 billion.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: If you look at the Yankee Institute, they're reporting it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: There's Channel 3 picking up on that. But we hear
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: about John Rowland's hot tub. We hear about Aaron Stewart's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: credit card problems. But we don't hear about $ 2. 8 billion,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: not million, billion dollars, in our assets that have probably
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: been black marketed for all we know. I believe the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut has a bigger black market going on
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: with our tax dollars than did in Vietnam with the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: war equipment. This is just absolutely craziness that's going on,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about it with both– Ryan Fazio,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about it with John Bolton
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because I think these two are the two most important
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: positions we need to change in the state of Connecticut.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: If we're going to get back to using our tax
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: dollars the way they were supposed to be spent, not
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on illegal immigration, which, again, was $ 1. 3 billion, they estimate.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So if it's an estimate, it's not even close to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the real number if it's in these numbers. So, again.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: All these different things we need to talk about, all
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: these different things need to be talked on. This should
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: be all over the news. This should be Channel 3,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Channel 30, Len Bestoff, the investigative reporter. As soon as
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Aaron Stewart had a little bit of a problem, oh,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: my God, he was all over it like there's no tomorrow.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: But there's $ 2. 8 billion in assets missing in the state
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of Connecticut, and not peep. And I see him on
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the sister show, Gary Byron, he's on the show, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I leave him the articles of all these things going on.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yet I have yet to see an article, and I'm like,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: what is going on? Why is this happening? Why can't
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: we report this stuff legally? Why can't we say what's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: really going on in our state? This is impossible to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: make up. You can't even fathom $ 2. 8 billion that we've spent,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: taxpayer money, on trucks, on cars, on computers. We don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: even know where it is. How can you make that happen?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: How can you get away with that and be running
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: for your third term and all these issues are going around?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Every nonprofit that's gotten a pile of money is in trouble.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: New Beginnings in Waterbury, short $ 2. 1 million of taxpayer funds.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Senator McCrory out of Bloomfield, another couple million dollars missing
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in funds. With Cicero, and it's tied to Murphy. Murphy
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was giving them money, but he pulled it back. These
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: things are things that you can't make up that are happening.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And what McCrory did, which is very smart of him, and,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of course, he built state law, he got in, like,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: let's say $ 3 million into his nonprofit charity. And then
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Cicero had a nonprofit charity. So they swapped. I give
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you a half a million. You give me a half
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a million. The state cannot audit that money. The state
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: cannot go into the next— they can only go into the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: one it gave the money for. So when they swapped
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: money back and forth through the charities, it now becomes
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: untraceable by the state of Connecticut because they're not allowed
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to go in and audit another nonprofit's expenditures. They're only
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: allowed to audit the one that they got it from.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And this gentleman was a state senator, and he helped
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: push some of these laws through. And then he went
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and became— 501c3, and he became a charity, and this
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: money is all moving around. Governor Lamont keeps calling it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: small ball. Oh, it's just small ball. It's just small ball.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It's just small ball. I was up close to $ 38
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: million in fraud circling around his office for money that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he gave. In New Beginnings, which was a charity out
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of Waterbury, the state auditor said there's serious problems with
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the money here. He said ignored the claims, and still
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: gave them another $ 1. 5 million. They were supposed to pay
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Northeast Utilities $ 1. 2 million of the money, and their check
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: bounced to Northeast Utilities. And they had gotten in a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: check for $ 1. 5 million. So, again, it's not like just one.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: This is like the circle is just huge. And if
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you had like A through Z, I could fill that up,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and I'd have to go A through Z with double A's,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: single A's, You know, triple A. I mean, the amount
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of there's 28 cases of fraud and your money around
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this governor and yet not one mention of it on
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: any of our main news media. And it's just absolute craziness.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you were in charge of Pratt
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Whitney and you didn't turn in an audit if you
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: were in a program and you said, oh, I'm sorry,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: we're short staff. Eleven years ago was our last audit.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: We don't know where all your parts are. Would you
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: have a job? Think about that. And we keep reelecting
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: this person who's not doing their job, not even not
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: even close to fulfilling the job. Yes, he comes off
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: as a great guy, soft spoken. I'm for you, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I'm in your pocket. Now I'm now I'm for you,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: but I'm in both your pockets. Now you better not
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: have four pockets because I'm in all four pockets. And
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that's what's happening with our government. And that's what's happening now.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And we're going to have to take a break. We're
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: going to come back with Linda Sinkwitz live in the studio. 94.9

• 16:31
  Speaker 1: turn the microphone on to Linda for a few minutes.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having me on. I really
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: appreciate it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Talking about the rankings of Connecticut, we are at the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: bottom of the barrel. Now, Gary Meyer's report just came
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: out with a report, and we, from 1 to 100,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: are at 44 for our elections, as far as it
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: being fair and secure. Now, we know from Fight Voter Fraud,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: we've been around eight years now. We've been doing a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: lot of different things, not only here in Connecticut, but
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: across the country.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: And we do the deep dives into.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: The people who have double voted, people who have moved,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the dead people voting. And people think it's a joke,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: but dead people do vote. Honestly, it is unbelievable. Now,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: here in Connecticut, a couple of weeks ago, we filed
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: an SEEC complaint. And the complaint itself basically is because
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Connecticut violates HABA, the Help America Vote Act, the NVRA,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the National Voter Registration Act. And the funny thing about
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: this one is we can actually prove registrar of voters
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: have not been doing their job for years. But it
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: goes one step further. 9-190C actually shows intent.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: And believe it or not, we have the proof of
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: the intent.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: It is not negligence that registrars of voters have not
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: been keeping the voter rolls updated. The Secretary of State,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Secretary Thomas, is constantly throwing the registrars under the bus.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: She keeps saying how it's not me, it's the registrars. Well,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: she is in charge of the registrars. She is supposed
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: to make sure that they are doing their jobs. Now,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: it may sound like I'm attacking registrars. I'm really not.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I am attacking the system.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: The system for registrar voters is awful. They are elected.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They are actually put into place, the Republican and the Democrat.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: They only need one vote because it's the RTCs, the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Republican town committee's, and the Democratic town committees that decide
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: who your registrar.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Of voter is going to be.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: They voluntarily say, I want this job.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I can do it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Now, if you had a job and you only did
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: maybe 20% of what your job required, do you really
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: think you'd still have a job?
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: Well, here in Connecticut, the registrar of voters do.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: And this is the most important thing for us in
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: electing our officials here in the state of Connecticut. I
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: gave the Secretary of State, Stephanie Thomas, the first week
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: of December, I had a meeting with her, and I
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: had 15 different state statutes I thought we should put
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: into place to actually help the registrar of voters. Now, first,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: how many of you are in a town that your
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: registrar's office is only open from 11 to 1 every
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: other Tuesday?
• 19:45
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: This is a full-time job in making sure the voter
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: rolls are clean and getting everything in place. So the
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: number one statute that I wanted to bring before the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: legislature was to actually have registrar of.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Voters get a living wage.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Now, many of you may not know this, but every
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: single one of your towns, your town decides how much
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: your registrars are going to get paid. Some of them
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: are paid a lump sum. Some of them are paid hourly.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: And it all depends on the size of your town
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: and the size.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: Of your budget. But guess what?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: It's the same job for every registrar of voters across
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the state.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: We need to fix this issue. It is a huge issue.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Because since 2023, Fight Voter Fraud has been doing an
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: analysis on Connecticut voter rolls. You would think with us
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: sending these analysis in with exactly where all the.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Issues are, that they would get better. They've actually gotten worse.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: We have people that are on the voter rolls that
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: have moved out of state years ago.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: We have dead people that have been dead for 20
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: years that haven't been removed.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Everybody should be up in arms over this.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Now, personally, I don't care what party you're from, but
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: my vote should count just as equally as your vote.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: And right now, it doesn't.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: So look at Wanda the Ballot Stuffer down in Bridgeport.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: It's been going on for years.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And she still hasn't had to face justice at this point.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: So I guess we're going to be going to a
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: quick break.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: This is 94 News Now, Lee Elsie's show with George

• 27:56
  Speaker 29: When news breaks, we break in.
• 27:58
  Speaker 24: Brought to you by Densmore Oil and Bugbee Plumbing.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Hi, this is George Agnelli with 94 News Now. We're
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: here with Linda Sinkowitz from... fightvoterfraud.org. You know, we talk
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: about dead people voting, and we think it's a joke,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: but it is a very serious thing. So the next
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: time you go to your polls, if your spouse is
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: dead or your parents are dead, see if they're still,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and you live in the same town because a lot
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of the older families all lived in the same town,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: see if your mother or father that's been deceased 10
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: years are still on the voter rolls. Can we see that?
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I've always pronounced, and I said this from day one,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: The second somebody gets a death certificate, their motor vehicle
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: driver's license should be removed and their voting rights should
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: be removed. And it should be a very simple thing.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And every mortician has to file a form with the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicle. And it goes
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: from A to B to C. And if the mortician
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't do it, he's fined $ 5, 000 for not doing it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: This will clean up our voter rolls the second the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: person dies. And I believe this is something that Linda
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: is going to talk about as They are just cleaning
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: up more and more dead people off the voter rolls.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Linda, please.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: All right, so in 2020, there was 542 dead people
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: on the voter rolls in Connecticut that actually voted, and
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: some voted in person. In all, there was 7,700 that
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: we found in 2020 that were active voters at the time. Well,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: at least Connecticut's not as bad as Florida. They have
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the Lazarus effect. The people die, and then they come
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: back to life again, and they keep voting. The same
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: thing in multiple other states.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: So it is a huge.
• 29:40
  Speaker 36: problem.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: And also people that have moved. When you move, you
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: actually file with the post office that you are moving
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: and you have your mail forwarded to your new address.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: But for some reason, people are still on the voter rolls. Now,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: that's through the NCOA, the National Change of Address, that
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: the Secretary of State's office should be giving a weekly
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: to registrar.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Of voters as well. So then we have another problem
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: of the.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: People double voting, people voting here and voting in other states.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: You can only be registered where you live six months
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and one day. Whatever your actual domicile is, whatever you
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: personally file with the IRS as your physical address is
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: where you're supposed to vote. But that's not what is
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: happening here, not only in Connecticut, but across the country.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Our statistics we actually did on the 2024 election, people
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: with the same first name, last name, middle name, and
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: date of birth, 194,000 that we found across the country
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: had double voted, sometimes triple voted and quadruple voted. Fortunately,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: our evidence has gone through the system with the Department
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: of Justice. We have given them a tremendous amount of
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: evidence for the people who are doing that because, again,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: we only want one vote for one legal voter. Now,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: something else that we know a lot of people do
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: not want— is to have the illegals voting in our elections.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: It's against federal law. You have to be a U.S. citizen.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: You have to be 18 years old, and you have
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: to be of sound mind and living in your particular district.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: So back on July 21st of 2026, I sent a letter,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: and you can find it on our website, fightvoterfraud.org, to
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Stephanie Thomas asking three questions concerning the illegals I don't
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: call them undocumented. The moment they stepped over our border
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: without permission, they are illegal. So anyway, I wanted to
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: know how many were on our voter rolls and whether
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: they planned on using the SAVE, the alien ID database
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: that the federal government has offered to all the states
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: because obviously they were given numbers because they're taking our money.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: And the Secretary of State's office, I sent it certified mail,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: but I also emailed it. Well, much to my surprise,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: the next day I got an email from the attorney
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: up at the Secretary of State's office who said, no,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: they're not going to look for them through the save.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: And no, they don't have a listing of ones that
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: may have been removed. So you can also see that
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: letter on the website.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: And they cited it. This was really funny.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: A Connecticut state statute that says that they cannot give
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: personal information to a person. Well, didn't anybody tell the
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: attorney that the federal government is not a person? And
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: if you'd want to exclude the federal government in a law,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you actually have to put it in writing. So I
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: beg to differ. And I sent him a letter, which
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: you can also read. But I also included a letter
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: to Harmeet Dhillon at the Department of Justice asking for
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: her help because Connecticut, for some reason, cannot find the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: illegals on the voter rolls because of that Connecticut state statute.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: So this also is not the first time I have
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: sent stuff down to Harmeet Dhillon on the state of Connecticut. So, yay,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: we do have investigations going on. So what we also
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: did is we have on the website, if you only
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: want legal voters, U.S.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Citizens on the voter roll, please go to our website
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: and sign the petition. We know we have people.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: There's numbers, numbers of people. We want actual voices, actual
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: names of people who say, no, I do not want
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: the illegals on the voter rolls. And North Carolina actually
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: came up with a system. So, no, we're not going
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: to end up taking people off who are actual U.S.
• 34:31
  Speaker 25: Citizens.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: But really, people, do you really want to have the
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: illegals voting in your elections? And I'm telling you right now.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned for what we're going to be bringing forward
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: very shortly. Illegals are absolutely voting here in the state
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: of Connecticut, and they know about it. And they've known
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: about it for a while, yet nothing is being done.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I should put yet on that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: When you look at this and what's going on with
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: different things in our community, And, you know, they say
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: voter fraud doesn't happen. And, you know, caught on camera
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: in Bridgeport, we found it, you know. And they're saying, oh, no,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: this never happened. You know, just like Biden, the borders
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: are closed. The borders are closed. We're all set. And
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you're watching 30,000 people a day cross the border. Oh,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: but we're OK. We're letting them in. We're checking them
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: out and we're letting them in. They're like, yeah, right. So,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats in this state are going to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: tell you one thing. They're going to cover it up.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: They're going to hide behind it. They're not going to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: do the work. They'll find the excuses, but they won't
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: do the work. necessary for because they feel the illegals
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: are voting for them that's why they gave them driver's
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: license and when you have a super majority this is
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the big problem the super majority you do not have
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: control and this is a real serious problem what's going
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: on in our state between voter fraud between illegals on
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: our husky program getting driver's licenses getting truck driving permits
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: not speaking english These are all the different things that
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: we need to take care of. And this is just
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: one of the many problems this is causing.
• 36:07
  Speaker 37: Oh, yeah.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: And one of the first things I think when Fazio,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: excuse me, and Matt Corey get into office, as well
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: as John Bolton, is we need to doge the state
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: of Connecticut. I am telling you, Connecticut is worse than
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Minnesota is. Percentage-wise, unbelievable. And people keep talking about their
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: high taxes that we have and property taxes.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: And I agree with my commander-in-chief.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: If we eliminate all this fraud, you won't have to
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: have property taxes. There is more than enough money in
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: our country, but we are giving it to the illegals,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: putting it into the pockets of those nefarious ones that
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: are out there.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: And in case people keep thinking that we are a
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: blue state, we are not blue.
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: If we did.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Not have all the fraudulent stuff that is going on
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: in our elections, we are purple, if not red. And
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: we need to make sure everyone.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Goes to the polls in November.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: It is so important you get out and vote this November.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: And another thing to look out for, if you have
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: somebody that is in an Alzheimer location, dementia location, convalescent home,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: rehab center, if you are the conservator of a family member,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: the Registrar of Voters Office has to let you know
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: eight days before they go in to sign them up
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: for their absentee ballots.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: It is the law. And I have yet to find.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Any registrar or voter who has actually done what is
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: required by law. And here's the other problem with people
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: in those locations. They may not be mentally sound, which
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: is part of being able to vote. But here's how
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: screwed up our system is. The only person who can
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: say they are not mentally competent is a probate judge.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Yet we have, for whiting forensic in Middletown, Connecticut, for
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: the criminally insane. And a few years ago, we found
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: 56 of these felons, who actually couldn't be convicted because
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: they're not mentally competent, actually voted.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: And I looked at their.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Absentee ballot request forms, and the one that stood out
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: to me was somebody filled it.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Out in crayon, and they still voted.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: So we have big issues here.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: In the state of Connecticut.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: You're going to need to vote for Peter Lamage to
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: be our secretary of state, because unlike Stephanie Thomas, who
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: believes that some amount of fraud is acceptable, Peter believes
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: no amount of fraud is acceptable. As I tell people,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: would you put money in a bank where they say,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: fraud's okay as long as it's not too much? Why
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: would you have somebody as your secretary of state who
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: says that, oh, fraud's OK.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: Fraud's OK.
• 39:24
  Speaker 34: Really.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to take a break. One second here.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: And I want Linda to tell the people how. they
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: can get involved and how they can help out with
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the reading of it. And you can find Linda and
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: sign up for this. And if you see voter fraud
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: or you know voter fraud, how to report it. And
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: we'll go from there.
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: So you can reach out to me through info at fightvoterfraud.org.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: We also do a 15, 20-minute training called Operation Verify
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Voters 2026. You can find that on fightvoterfraud.org. And we
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: will show you what to look for. It's done through StreamYard.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: And like I said, it only takes about 15 minutes
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: because you know who lives on your street.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: You know who died. If you see issues, you need
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: to do something.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Don't expect somebody else to.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: And yes, we do have homes that have.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: You know, over 100 people registered to vote in a
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: single family home.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: Do you really think that's possible? Well, they're voting. And
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: if you get an absentee.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Ballot application in the mail and it's not for someone
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: in your household, make a copy of it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Bring it to the post office. Tell the post office
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: that they.
• 40:50
  Speaker 12: Do not live there.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: And also make sure your registrar of voters is aware
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: of it. And if they do not do anything, and
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: I know it's within 90 days of an election, but
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: make sure that they do not get an absentee ballot
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: or vote in person, by the way, because they do,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: then you're going to need to file a complaint with
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: the SEEC.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: We need to start challenging these voters. You can do
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: it at the polls as well. Look at the list.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: When you check in and you're showing your ID, make
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: sure that you.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: Look at your street. And if you see names.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: On your street that you know are not there, make
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: sure to point it out and tell them that you
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: are challenging those voters because you know they do not
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: live there.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: So there's a number of different things that could be done.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Now, I know George brought up the fact of having
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the morticians let people know when someone is deceased how
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: come when houses are bought and sold in your town
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: the information doesn't go down to the registrar of voters
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: that the person has moved i mean how many of
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: you sell your house but still live there and other
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: people that you don't know have purchased it it doesn't
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: make any sense so there's a lot of different things
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: that you can do but the biggest thing.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: Is we need you to go to the polls and vote.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: We have a question from a listener so we're going
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: to break in and go ahead with the question.
• 42:22
  Speaker 38: Has this woman read the data on voter fraud? There
• 42:25
  Speaker 38: is no reliable nationwide number showing that a large number
• 42:28
  Speaker 38: of undocumented immigrants are currently voting in U.S.
• 42:31
  Speaker 39: Elections.
• 42:32
  Speaker 38: The available evidence points to a very small number but
• 42:36
  Speaker 38: the exact nationwide number cannot currently be established. We're pointing
• 42:41
  Speaker 38: the fingers at the wrong people.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: So apparently they like to have illegals voting.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: I thought even one vote is one too many.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: And the reason why you are not seeing the number
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: of the illegals is because there's a number of states,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: specifically blue states, including the state of Connecticut.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: That will not do their job. They know how to
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: find the illegals.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: We have it trickling out here and there.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: That is because of the states themselves that don't want
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: to bring this information forward. So I'm sorry for that
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: particular person who thinks it's okay, and any small number
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: is okay for fraud.
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: That is absolutely ridiculous.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Do you have any other questions?
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Well, not that I have a personal opinion on things,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: but I have seen enough that most people don't realize
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: every single vote counts. In 2018, there were 22 races
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: here in the state of Connecticut that were determined by
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: less than 100 votes. Some were determined by.
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: Two, four, six votes.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: That could be your mayor. It could be your planning
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: and zoning. It could be your board of ed. It
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: could be your dog catcher.
• 44:05
  Speaker 32: Yeah.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: Everything matters.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: That happened to Gary Byron on the sister station. He
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: went to bed the winner by 10 votes or 12 votes.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: And when they counted the absentee ballots the next day,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: he lost by like 23 votes.
• 44:17
  Speaker 12: Of course.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: And all 33 absentee ballots were not for him. And
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: so that's where the voter fraud happened to somebody we know.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: We've seen it happen. We've seen it on TV. We've
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: seen the Bridgeport. And those people have not been prosecuted.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: They're not going to spend any time in jail. They're
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: going to get a slap on the wrist. But now,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: if they voted for Trump, oh my God, the Attorney
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: General would make sure they spend the rest of their
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: life in jail.
• 44:43
  Speaker 13: Oh my goodness.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: So if they were doing it for the opposite way,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: it's a completely different story in the state of Connecticut.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: So Attorney General Baby Tong, and that's what I call
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: him because he has his little hissy fits on stuff,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: just so you know, is costing us millions of dollars
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: for the 67 lawsuits that he's already thrown up against
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: our President Donald J.
• 45:04
  Speaker 14: Trump.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: We need someone who's actually going to do the job
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: of attorney general and represent us here in the state
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: of Connecticut.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: And again, not that I have personal opinions, but you
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: have a choice this November.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Either vote Republican or Islamic jihadist communist, because the Democratic
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Party is not the Democratic Party of JFK anymore. Our
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: grandparents that were Democrats, it's not the same one.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: Because look what they fight for.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: They don't fight for you, the taxpayer. They fight for
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: the illegals, the rapists, the murderers. They don't stand up
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: for children.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: They'd rather have them assaulted by these illegals.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: And it is just unbelievable. They want us to keep
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: paying our taxes so we can.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: Give them money.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: What about our veterans? What about our seniors? People have
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: worked all their lives.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: So I own a big flipping company, and we use
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of labor-ready type of people. And every once
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: in a while, I have those guys together to help
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: me with my house or do a project, and I
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: go pick up four or five of them. And they're working,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: and they're looking at themselves like, where's my free cell phone?
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Where's my free food? Where's my free education? I'm working.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I've worked my whole life. And, of course, they make $ 36, 000
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: or $ 37, 000 or whatever that doesn't give them the increments
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: to get there. And they're like, Oh, now I'm working
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: for you on Sundays for some extra side money because
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I need enough money to feed my family. And they're
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: looking around like this party, the Democratic Party, which I'm
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: a member of, is not the party that it used
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: to be. It's not the party of the people anymore.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: It's the party of the craziness, the party of. Yeah, and,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I talked to State Senator Gary LeBeau, who's retired,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: and I said, why do you have so many liberals
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: working on your campaign? Because they'll work their butt off. Well,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: now they realize that they're not going to get everything
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: they want, so they're putting their own people up with
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: their own crazy ideas, and they're working really hard to
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: get them elected. They don't care if they have to say, oh,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: we're going to give you free buses, we're going to
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: give you free this, we're going to give you free that.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: And they're like 90% of the politicians, they don't deliver
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: with their promises. And that's the biggest problem. And they
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: don't care how they get there. They don't care if
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: illegals vote for them. They don't care if dead people
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: vote for them. They only care that they're going to
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: keep their party in control. And that's the big issue.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: And we need to clean house in the state of Connecticut.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: We can elect Ryan and John Bolton and Fred Wims
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: and all the people in the state of Connecticut, Lynn
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Tucker and Jen Tucker, and we can then get four years.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Just give them four years. And if your life's not
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: better in four years, if the state, you know, In
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the state of Connecticut, it's 50th of 50th for filing
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: for bankruptcy because we're so far behind with our money
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: for our finances. Yet we spent $ 1. 3 billion on illegals.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: We then put $ 800 million in the rainy day fund.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: So that means we're overtaxed.
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: That's $ 2. 2 billion of money that we're overtaxed in the
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut. So if that money would actually go
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: into the retirement coffers and we would not be 60% funded,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: we'd be 100% funded in our retirement. We could then
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: start knocking off the income tax every year because, okay,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: we take a half a point off because we're 100%
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: funded and we're not bankrupt. And instead of this money
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: coming in, oh, where can we spend it now? How
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: about pay off what's happening? How about pay off the debt?
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: That's just what we do with the light bill, just
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: so the governor can announce, oh, I'm saving you 10%
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: of your light bill. But he bonded the debt out
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: that he created 25 years. So we're going to pay
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: another $ 40 or $ 50 million in interest so you can
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: save 10% now. And we keep putting it on our
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: great-grandkids that aren't born yet. George Agnelli, 94.9. Thank you,
• 48:49

• 57:45
  Speaker 1: in for Lee Elsie. I'll be your host today, and
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: with great privilege, I have State Senator Ryan Fazio, who
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: more than likely is going to be our next governor.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: And if you want your pockets to have a little
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: bit more money in them, I would definitely vote for Ryan.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: As Lamont's new ad says, comes out and it says, oh,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to work on reducing your costs. Well, you've
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: had eight years to do it, and so far all
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I've seen is the opposite. So as I have four
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: pockets in my pants, I'm worried where the fifth pocket's
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: going to come from when he lowers the costs. Ryan,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: good morning. How are you?
• 58:24
  Speaker 15: I'm great, George. How are you?
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: I'm good. Thank you very much for honoring me coming
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: on the show. I really appreciate it.
• 58:32
  Speaker 15: Pleasure's all mine.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: So would you like to talk about how he plans
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: on reducing costs since for the last eight years that's
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: been the opposite?
• 58:41
  Speaker 15: Yeah, listen, it's a tall tale to be telling when
• 58:46
  Speaker 15: you have an eight-year record of raising people's costs and
• 58:51
  Speaker 15: you're running ads saying the exact opposite. It's almost kind
• 58:55
  Speaker 15: of offensive to our sensibilities as voters when you have
• 58:59
  Speaker 15: someone who has clearly made the state more expensive, grown
• 59:03
  Speaker 15: the costs and powers of government made it less accountable,
• 59:07
  Speaker 15: now turning around and saying the exact opposite. at election time.
• 59:11
  Speaker 15: It's Orwellian. The fact is that the governor has increased
• 59:15
  Speaker 15: costs on middle-class families over and over and over again.
• 59:19
  Speaker 15: He raised taxes on food, on many of our food
• 59:24
  Speaker 15: and grocery purchases. He's raised taxes on purchases we make online.
• 59:30
  Speaker 15: digital downloads. He's raised taxes on our paychecks by over
• 59:34
  Speaker 15: $ 600 for the average family in the state. But not
• 59:38
  Speaker 15: only that, he has raised the hidden taxes and fees
• 59:40
  Speaker 15: in our electric bill over and over again, signing special
• 59:45
  Speaker 15: subsidies for data centers, for large energy companies that we
• 59:50
  Speaker 15: have to pay for through our taxes or our electric bills.
• 59:54
  Speaker 15: In every way, he has signed bill after bill that
• 59:59
  Speaker 15: have increased costs on Connecticut families by billions of dollars
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 15: if you add it all up. And this guy is
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 15: running ads saying that he's increasing costs or that his
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 15: opponent will increase costs. Like, it doesn't... It does not
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 15: add up. And it's about time that we held him
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 15: accountable and held the people in power in this state
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 15: accountable for all their failures. And certainly... certainly rejected the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 15: campaign election time propaganda that does the opposite.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, as you look at the cost of
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: utilities and the cost of everything, he just bonded with
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: his group of super majority to take the bill they
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: did with all the illegal aliens and all the free
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Tesla charging stations all over the state that people got
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: and everything else. And he just bonded it out, I think,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: 25 years. So we're going to be paying another 50
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: or 60 million. We'll save 10 percent this year, but
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: we're going to pay for it the rest of our lives.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: So it's an election year fraud. And they basically my
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: great grandkids, which aren't even my grandkids aren't born yet,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: put a bill that they're going to have to pay off.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: And you keep looking at paying it down the road
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: and paying it down the road. And eventually you have
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: to pay the piper. But you have to do what
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: you do to get elected.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 15: That's exactly right. And this is the same governor who
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 15: criticizes other people and other people's plans, saying that they
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 15: just want to, you know, move money from one pocket
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 15: into the other, whether or not that's true. That's exactly
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 15: what he's doing. He's projecting on other people the exact
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 15: sins that he's created. With the electric bill, you know,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 15: he claims to have done... things to have improved affordability,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 15: even though no one thinks their electric bills are affordable
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 15: in the state, to set that aside. But he was
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 15: the proponent, his administration was the proponent of issuing bonds,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 15: basically increasing the state's credit card debt in order to
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 15: temporarily make electric bills look slightly less expensive than they
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 15: otherwise would be. And Likewise, in the last couple of years,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 15: he's increased the total borrowing of the state by hundreds
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 15: of millions of dollars per year above what it was.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 15: He's even broken through the bonding limitations, the borrowing limitations
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 15: in this past year that the state has for itself.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 15: So sometimes I'll hear the criticisms he makes of people's
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 15: plans that he doesn't agree with and He's accusing them
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 15: of doing the exact things that he himself is doing.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 15: I don't know if he is ignorant of what he
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 15: does while he's in office, or he's just misleading voters.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 15: But people, I think, feel in their pocketbooks that this
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 15: state has been made more unaffordable than ever before, that
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 15: the American dream has been chased to other states out
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 15: of Connecticut on Governor Lamont's watch, and that he is
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 15: doing the exact same things that he would accuse other
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 15: people of, Um, he's misleading them about his record and
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 15: he has made the state more expensive at every turn
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 15: while growing government and failing to hold government, um, with
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 15: all the scandals that have amounted in Connecticut, um, to account.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, if you look, we, we spent, according to the
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Yankee Institute, we spent $ 1. 5 billion on illegal immigrants last
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: year of state money. And we, I believe had an
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: $ 800 million surplus. I'm not a hundred percent sure that
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: my numbers are exactly correct. Um, But that's $ 2. 3 billion.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: If we put that into the retirement account, we wouldn't
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: be so far in debt or be like 50th of
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: 50th states to file bankruptcy because we are when you
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Google truth in accounting. And when you look at these things,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: if we put that $ 2. 3 or $ 2. 5 billion into our
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: retirement account, and we finally got out of the debt
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: of all this retirement, instead of being 60% funded in
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: our retirement, got to be 80% or 85%, we could
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: start eliminating the income tax. We could start doing so
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: many different things that would help the state of Connecticut
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: long-term be a much more affordable state to go. But
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: we don't look at our long-term issues and deal with them,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: which will instead we do everything short-term, and how can
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: we make this last longer? rather than how can we just, okay,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: let's pull up our pants and take care of it,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: like you do in your household budget with your bills.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 15: That's exactly right. And if we adopted the policies that
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 15: you're talking about, a little bit of fiscal discipline, eliminate
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 15: spending on people who are not even in the country legally,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 15: eliminate the overspending in other departments, and pay down debt
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 15: when we have the money in the short run, because
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 15: then we don't have to pay the interest on it
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 15: in the future. That gives us billions of dollars back
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 15: in just a few years' time to cut people's taxes
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 15: substantially in this state. And the people in government, if
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 15: they don't have a plan to reduce your tax burden
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 15: in a state with the third highest taxes in the country,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 15: they don't have any business being in a position of leadership.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 15: But the governor is running for a third term without
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 15: even pretending like he's going to try to cut your taxes.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 15: He's going to increase your taxes in the next four years,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 15: in fact, because he has cemented every borrowing and spending
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 15: policy in the last two years that will basically cement
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: future tax increases. If we reelect this governor, you will
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 15: see your taxes go up over the next four years.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 15: I'm extraordinarily confident because he has kind of doubled down
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 15: on all the failed policies of the past. He's been
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 15: overspending above and beyond the spending cap in state government.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 15: That was put in place in 2017 by a bipartisan
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 15: state senate. He has increased borrowing above the volatility cap
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 15: and the borrowing cap that the state had put into
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 15: place in 2017 with bipartisan support. So in just the
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 15: last two years, the guy has absolutely broke the credit
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 15: card of... or overloaded the credit card of the state government.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 15: And he, you know... is basically cementing that we will
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 15: have even more tax increases over the next four or
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 15: eight years as long as he is reelected, as long
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 15: as we do not make a significant change in direction.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 15: But we still have time to make that change, and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 15: that's what this election needs to be about.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: There's no question. The Hartford Courant came out with an
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: article in there questioning where you worked and all this stuff.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: So we hear about a hot tub John Rowland did,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: and we hear about, 200,000 of your former competitor, but
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: there's $ 2. 8 billion of assets not accounted for in the
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut. I think we have a black market
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: going on bigger than Vietnam in the state of Connecticut.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: So can you imagine a 2.8, if you walked into
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Pratt & Whitney and said, oh, well, we're only missing $ 2. 8
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: billion of our $ 8 billion in assets. What does a
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: state need $ 8 billion worth of assets for to run?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: I have yet to figure this out. Could you give
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: us a little guidance? I mean, the Department of Education
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: has not filled out an audit of the personal belongings,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: which is millions and millions of dollars, since 2015 because
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: of staff shortages. So you mean to tell me that
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: it takes 11 years and you still can't figure out
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: an audit from 2015? And they don't know where $ 11
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: to $ 15 million worth of computers are. Nobody knows where
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: they are. We keep buying things and buying things and
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: doing things, and nobody knows where the money is going,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: if it's even winding up in the state of Connecticut.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 44: Yeah.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 15: Meanwhile, the Lamont administration, the Lamont campaign, and the media
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 15: in the state think it's a priority to go after
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 15: me for anything. for totally misleading the public about me
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 15: and my record, which is completely above board. You know,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 15: when I've served five years in the state Senate, working
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 15: effectively with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 15: get things done. And the mainstream media and the Lamont
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 15: campaign totally distract from the failures of government over and
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 15: over again. I mean, it's just plain wrong, and it
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 15: explains exactly how we've gotten to this place in this
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 15: state where corruption is run amok, where people's taxes are
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 15: the third highest in the country, you know, and where
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 15: headline after headline shows senior members of government, you know,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 15: abusing the taxpayer, abusing the public trust. But that means
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 15: that around election time every four years, The Lamont campaign,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 15: the mainstream media in the state, goes after Republican challengers
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 15: rather than fully vetting the failed record of the people
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 15: in power who have made the state unaffordable for working-class
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 15: families who can't even get by because... there's so much corruption,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 15: so much waste, so much unaccountability in government. This is
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 15: how we got to this place, and we should not,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 15: like Lucy with the football, as Connecticut citizens, be tricked
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 15: by the media, by the Lamont campaign, by the people
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 15: in power seeking to increase and consolidate their power for
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 15: four more years.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 45: Right.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, as you look to Hartford Courant and
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Channel 3 and Channel 33 and 8, they come into
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: my jewelry store and they're like, hey, you're not advertising us.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: We're going to give you a great program. I said,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: so I hand them four or five articles. You know,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: here's $ 2. 8 billion. Here's all the counselors not going right.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: Here's the money missing by new beginnings. Here's McQuarrie. And
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I hand them like a whole packet. I go, when
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: I see some of this on the news, come back
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: to me and I'll buy some ads from you. And
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: if more people in Connecticut would do that, it would
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: change how they do because I'm not going to spend
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: $ 1 on what I call and what a lot of
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: people call fake news or controlled media. It's more controlled
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: media than fake news. And that's where we are with
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: different things. Now, you're going to be tonight, right, in
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: Flanders Market in East Lyme?
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 15: Flanders Fish Market in East Lyme. There's a meet and
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 15: greet for a bunch of candidates running for office. it'll
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 15: be an opportunity to get to meet the people who
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 15: are running to represent you. I think Lee Elsie will
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 15: be there, obviously running for state Senate. I think George
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 15: Austin will be there running for Congress.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 41: I'll be there.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 15: Matt Corey, my running mate will be there among others. So,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 15: you know, please join us. You know, Flanders is one
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 15: of the great restaurants and fish markets, produce markets and in, uh,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 15: In the state. And I hope you'll you'll join us
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 15: there for a good evening of talking about the issues.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: So from five thirty to six thirty, it's a paid
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: event for to help raise money for to help the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Republicans fight this supermajority. And then from six thirty to eight,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: it's free. if you want to come meet the Republicans.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: So they did a little bit of both so that
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: anybody can come say hello and meet and greet people.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: That's going to be tonight, Monday, October 5th, at Flanders
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Fish Market, starting at 5 o'clock. And I just want
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: to get in that plug because I think it's so
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: important that you get to meet as many people as
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: possible and shake their hand and get to know you
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: like I've gotten to know you and know that you're
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: a real substance gentleman and what you say comes out
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: of your mouth will be what you do next. And
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: that is so important in today's political world.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and listen, I think what's different about some of
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 15: our candidates in my campaign is that in comparison to
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 15: our opponents, we're going places, we're making ourselves accessible to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 15: the public to answer and ask questions and actually feel
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 15: in touch. I keep seeing these events where the governor
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 15: is canceling his appearance, including this morning. where he refuses
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 15: to debate before early voting begins. I think voters deserve
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 15: candidates for office who are going to show up, who
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 15: are going to answer questions, who aren't going to run
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 15: away from the public, the people that they aim to serve.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 15: Because at the end of the day, the governor should
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 15: work for you and be accountable to the people and
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 15: be willing to go to the people and answer their concerns,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 15: without a filter, without censoring. That's the type of governor
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 15: I think the public deserves. That's the kind of public
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 15: officials that I think the public deserves in our state.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: Well, if you had a great record and you were running,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: you'd want 10 debates, not one debate maybe if the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: governor does show up. That's the big question is, is
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: he going to show up? Because then it's not like, oh,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, or your opponent's going to
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: do this, your opponent's going to do this. He's going
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: to have to live by his record and actually answer questions.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Even though, you know, Danny Hart is, and I'm disappointed
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: in Danny Hart. I've known him for 40 years. He
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: was a reporter for East Hartford. He started there, and
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: I've known him maybe 45 years as a reporter when
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: I was on the city council back in the 90s.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: And he would hold Democrats and Republicans accountable. And, you know,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: he says he's modest, but he suffers from very serious DTS.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: And I'm just, you know, I know you're going into
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: the lines then with that debate. And I don't think
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: that Lamont will be able to answer questions based on
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: his history. And I'm hoping Danny Haar asks the real
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: questions for both of you so that it's a good,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: honest debate. Since you're only getting one in the state
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: of Connecticut, I believe, governor's race, and you had a
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: fight to get one with this gentleman. So if your
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: record was so good, why wouldn't you want to do
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: five or six or seven debates? Why are you canceling
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: public all the time? He's disappearing. He's not showing up
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: to different events. I don't get it. I don't understand.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: I understand if my record was as bad as his,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to face the public either. And we're
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: hoping that enough people in the state of Connecticut have
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: finally had enough to say, hey, we've given this party,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: which was my party. I'm a Democrat, but my party
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't represent me anymore. It's not the same party. People
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: have said they've just had enough of, all the, I mean,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: the amount of fraud, and it's everywhere you look. And
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: when we come back the next half hour, we're going
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: to talk about all the problems at our central state
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: colleges and universities. Ryan, how can somebody contribute to your campaign?
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: I know you can't take any money, but how can
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: they find, where's the best places to look you up
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: online where they can find information about your campaign?
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 15: Okay. Well, please visit our website, ryanfazio.com. You know, when
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 15: I talk about the promises that I make on the campaign,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 15: what my priorities would be, you know, we have it
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 15: all backed up by specifically how we'll accomplish those plans.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 15: And our goal was to have the most substantive gubernatorial
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 15: campaign in the entire country, saying specifically how we'll accomplish
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 15: everything from cutting your taxes by over $ 2, 000 per year,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 15: reducing your electric bills by 20% and more. So please
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 15: visit our website at ryanfazio.com to learn more about how
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 15: we're going to do things, how we're going to accomplish
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 15: the promises that we're making. Not only that, you know,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 15: I would encourage you to consider, you know, supporting John
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 15: Bolton or other, you know, state candidates who are still
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 15: raising money. And then you can follow our campaign along
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 15: on the social medias, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and others.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 15: So please follow along. The last 30 days of the
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 15: campaign is when many people are still tuning in. So
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 15: I'd encourage, you know, people listening, if they care about
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 15: this election, to talk to your friends and family who
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 15: aren't very political, who are maybe unaffiliated or moderate Democrats
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 15: or independent party members. They will be the people who
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 15: ultimately decide elections. So talking to your friends and family who,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 15: you know, our middle-of-the-road voters who aren't as opinionated would
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 15: be extraordinarily important to the ultimate outcome of the election
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 15: on November 3rd.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: This election is so important for the future of our
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: Connecticut and our kids. Two of my kids now live
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: in Florida and have no desire to come back up
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: to Connecticut. They make really good money, and they work
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: from home, and they chose Florida because it saves them
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: so much money in taxes. One owns a house down
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: there in He's like, oh, I can't believe I've got
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: to pay $ 1, 400 a year for school tax. And he
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to pay property tax on his house because
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: he's a resident of Florida. When you look at those things,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: and I look at I'm paying $ 14, 000 for a year
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: for a house in East Hartford, and I don't have
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: any kids in the school system. It's just craziness when
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: you add the numbers up that we're paying in the
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut because of our tax burden, because of
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: our tax debt, and we just keep going further and
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: further into debt rather than saying, hey, let's take this
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: money we're spending on illegals and let's take this money
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: that we have. If we have $ 800 million over, that
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: means we're overtaxed. And we should take that money and
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: pay off our long-term debt so that we can then
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: start reducing our taxes over the next couple of years.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to take a break and we're going to
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: come back and talk about the community colleges. This is

• 1:26:03
  Speaker 10: in lots of different ways.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 7: I think it's one of my favorite things about it.
• 1:26:06

  Speaker 10: when I really love sports. Which makes what Dante Reno
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 10: did this weekend at Yale University even more special.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 13: Dante's Yale's quarterback.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 10: And he went out and threw for 298 yards and
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 10: four touchdowns in Yale's win over Merrimack. Just hours after
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 10: finding out that his father, Tony, had passed away the
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 10: night before.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 7: Who, up until February, was also his football coach at Yale.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that Tony Reno.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 10: So not only did Dante go out there and play
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 10: and win one for his teammates, for his university, for
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 10: his friends, for his family, and for his coach.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 13: But he did it for his dad, too.

  Speaker 29: York Correctional Institution and recovered a firearm from the roof
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 29: of a nearby bathroom building. Norwich police are investigating two

  Speaker 29: targeted assaults Thursday night that left two men with non-life-threatening cuts.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 29: The incident occurred about two hours apart near Main Street

  Speaker 29: and Broadway and on Claremont Avenue. Police say there is

  Speaker 29: no known.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 7: Threat to the public.

  Speaker 29: Brown University plans to open three new public safety locations

• 1:28:20
  Speaker 29: I'm Sean Murphy. When news breaks, we break in.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: Hi, this is George Agnelli with 94.9 News Now. Stimulating Talk.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: I'm covering for Lee Elsie today, and we're on the
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: phones with Ryan Fazio. And if you look at our
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: Connecticut State Colleges, this governor that we have now put
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: in a board of regency or the governor before him,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: and it is falling apart, counselor after counselor. I don't
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: know if they're DEI hires or we're just not paying
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: enough or whatever. We're getting political friends in, but it
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: just seems to be falling apart. And now even one
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: of the board members who was on Princeton's board and
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: several boards came in to help and has actually resigned
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: because of all the chaos, Joyce Jenkins. So I'm going
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: to let Ryan go into this because there's just chancellor
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: after chancellor after chancellor, and we're still paying them even
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: though they're no longer chancellors. It's just absolutely nuts. Ryan,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: go ahead and give them a good overview of what's
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: going on, please.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 15: So the state college and university system includes the regional
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 15: state universities, Central Connecticut, Eastern, Southern, and Western Connecticut State,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 15: the community colleges.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 41: And others.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 15: It's over a billion-dollar enterprise serving over 60,000 students, many
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 15: of them first-generation college students. And they deserve leadership in
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 15: the state government, including from the governor, who appoints most
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 15: of the governing board of this body. as do the
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 15: taxpayers who support the system. But in the past year
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 15: or two, we have seen scandal after scandal to the
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 15: point that the vice chair of that governing board in
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 15: just the past week has resigned, calling it completely dysfunctional
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 15: and totally political. And the problem is that there's just
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 15: a total absence of leadership, that people who have abused
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 15: the public dollar, who have stolen public dollars through the
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 15: state college and university system, you know, people who are
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 15: basically getting no-show jobs, that there's been no accountability. But
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 15: the governor appoints the voting majority of the governing board.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 15: The governor is the person with whom the buck stops when,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 15: in our entire community, Connecticut state government, but including our
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 15: state college and university system. So, you know, you have
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 15: first-generation college students, you know, people who are, you know,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 15: working hard, saving money, borrowing money in order to get
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 15: an education who are being failed, and you have taxpayers
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 15: who are being failed as, you know, the corruption tax
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 15: continues to grow in Connecticut state government. Yet, there's no
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 15: tone of accountability and zero tolerance for misuse of public
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 15: funds or abuse of public power and trust. You know,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 15: for instance, the first culprit in the maybe half dozen scandals,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 15: dismissals and resignations in the state college and university system
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 15: at the top, Terrence Chang, the governor called a good
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 15: friend and he gave him a sweetheart deal, a no-show
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 15: job after being a chancellor of the university system and
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 15: being caught stealing tens of thousands of dollars. He tolerated
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 15: him getting a no-show job for $ 440, 000 per year for
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 15: two years. How many families get that same benefit in
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 15: the state? Families are struggling to get by, and now
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 15: they have to pay extra taxes to pay for a
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 15: no-show job from the likes of Terrence Chang, who the
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 15: governor calls a good friend and thinks it's okay to,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 15: rather than getting fired for stealing public dollars, you know,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 15: be given a no-show job. That's the state that we
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 15: live in, and it's a product of the governor's failure
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 15: to hold people accountable.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: Well, the other thing, too, is that you don't, as
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: a good friend, and, you know, maybe Governor Lamont knows
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: some things that are going on that he's like, hey,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: do this for this one or do that for that one,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: and maybe that's why Mr. Chang got a no-show job. Here,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: you go home, sit in your room, collect our $ 440, 000
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: plus benefits. And you just keep your mouth shut for
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: two years, and you've got a million-dollar buyout. So if
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: you have to keep somebody quiet, a million dollars of
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: somebody else's money is an easy way to keep them quiet.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: And that's basically what he did. He gave them shut-up
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: money to go sit home and relax and just keep
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: your mouth shut, in my opinion.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 15: Listen, it's a realistic conjecture. Not only that, but we
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 15: just had the president of Central Connecticut State resign or retire.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 15: while she was being investigated. And the state of Connecticut,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 15: including the governor, says that, oh, well, she resigned, so
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 15: we don't have to continue the investigation into alleged bullying
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 15: and mistreatment of employees and a search into whatever other,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 15: you know, misuse of, you know, public resources might have
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 15: been happening at Central Connecticut State. So just because the
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 15: president of the university who was under investigation resigns, The
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 15: governor and other leaders in state government think it's okay
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 15: to just suspend the investigation into the leadership of the university.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 15: But taxpayers deserve answers. Students and their families deserve answers.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 15: The employees of the system deserve answers. But even just
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 15: last week, the governor is saying we don't need answers,
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 15: even though the scandals and the misuse of public resources continues.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 15: at Central Connecticut State and across our government. I think
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 15: the people deserve answers.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know what all the problems were before when
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: we had regional boards for these schools, and each area
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: is a little different. What's needed in Litchfield is not
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: needed in Manchester, Connecticut, and back and forth, and I
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: think that the colleges need to get back to their
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: own existence individually, and that this big board running all
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: these colleges just seems to Be more fraud with it
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: because there's less people to check on the checkers. There's
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: no like mid-management of, well, this school is doing this
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: and this school is doing that. And we need to
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: go over here. We need to go over there. And then, hey,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, three vehicles are missing.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: Where do these vehicles disappear? Why are they going home
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: at night? Why are they not in the parking lot?
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: And when you have a region board that's covering the
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: entire state and you have so many different colleges, you
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: lack the personal control when you go to one big board. Yes,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: you may save money buying computers and, and your buying power. Um,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: but I believe that, you know, we need to go
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: back to regional boards. I don't think this is working
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: the way it's set up. And a lot of it,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: I think you're right, has to do with the governor
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: and it's his political friends that are running the show.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: And there's no checkers for the checkers. That's the whole
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: problem in the state of Connecticut. We're not checking anything out. And, um,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: It's showing and it's falling apart right before the election.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: He's trying to keep it as quiet as possible. So
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: you mean to say that if I was with the
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut and I was past my retirement age,
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: I could go out and do wrong things and then
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: just retire and walk away scot-free? Think about it. That's
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: what he's telling every employee. Well, if you're a retirement
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: age and you want to do something wrong, go ahead
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: and do it because we're not going to look into
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: it if you retire.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 15: That's exactly right, and that's the same people that he's
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 15: calling good friends ahead of time, it just shows, it
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 15: signals to people in government and the general public that,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 15: you know, if you are close to a position of
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 15: power or other people in power and you misbehave, that
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 15: you'll get, you know, consideration. You'll get a free ride
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 15: on the taxpayer dime, but everyone else is less funding
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 15: the bill. So it sends a signal in the state
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 15: government that being close to, being well-connected, is your ticket
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 15: to making money or getting a good deal rather than
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 15: doing a good job. When we say leadership starts at
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 15: the top and the buck stops with the governor, that's
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 15: exactly what we're talking about.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: And we see it with Senator McCrory. Senator McCrory was
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: leader in a lot of things. There's $ 2. 4 million missing
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: from the funds him and Cicero were running. that they
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: can't find, $ 2. 4 million. And the governor did nothing to
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: sanction him, nothing to take him out of the leadership role.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: He just said, oh, well, you know, you're under federal risk.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: Let the feds do their job. We're going to keep
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: you in all the power positions that you're in, even
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: though we're doing it. And then you look at DeSantis.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: You know, he's gone to Greece. You know, why didn't
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: he have an ankle bracelet on? They took his American passport,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: but they didn't take his Greek passport. I mean— And,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: of course, the governor doesn't want him around because he
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: personally appointed him. And the less in the media he is,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: the better it is for the governor. So he's not
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: around to be made of, you know, talked about during
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: the election or those things. And right now he's getting
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: away scot-free because I don't think Reese is going to
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: send him back to us. And he was still collecting
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: his pension until this came up. They were still giving
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: him his pension. Think about that.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 15: He was collecting a pension until like a week ago.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 15: You know, the signal is set because of the failure
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 15: of leadership at the top from Governor Lamont that if
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 15: you're close to the people in power, if you're friends,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 15: if you're buddies, if you're in a position of power
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 15: yourself and you do wrong, that you'll get special protection.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 15: You know, whether you're Senator Doug McCrory or Chancellor Terrence
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 15: Chang or, you know, the governor's Office of Health Strategies, commissioner,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 15: you know, excused an investigation into a doctor who is
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 15: a friend of hers, and then just retired and nobody
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 15: ever investigated it again. I mean, it's issue after issue,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 15: and these people are the same people who have the
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 15: audacity to attack us on the campaign trail when they
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 15: have protected their friends and, colleagues in positions of power
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 15: who have stolen money from the public oftentimes or abused
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 15: their power while in office. It's about time these people
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 15: took accountability or else the corruption, the misuse of public
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 15: resources will continue to run amok.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: So we've had a caller on hold for almost the
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: whole interview that really wants to ask you a question.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: Do you mind taking that call?
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 15: Absolutely. Happy to.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: So Jan from East Lime, you're on with Ryan Fazio,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: George Agnelli. Go ahead, please.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 52: I am so glad to hear that you are hitting
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 52: corruption really hard because everyone I talk to really wants
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 52: that brought home to the Democrats. I'm going to just–
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 52: you know, we need Ryan and– in the governorship. But
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 52: we also need to make some changes and make some
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 52: forward progress in the legislature. And I'm going to just
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 52: mention Nick Menapace and then ask Ryan to respond to that.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 52: But I am frustrated by women who are supporting him.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 52: They don't know that he threatened Representative Gail Mastro Francesco.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 52: to punch her in the face. He was so abusive
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 52: to his staff or his own party, made him write
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 52: a letter of apology. He slandered Greg Howard, saying that
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 52: he had been a corrupt cop, and his own party
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 52: again said, no, that's not true. And locally, I talk
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 52: to people who tell me He's on some town committee.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 52: We don't know why. And they had to call the police.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 52: They keep it quiet.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 4: They don't make a report.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 52: And if Nick is going to claim this isn't true,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 52: please come forward, challenge it. And they've had to have
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 52: the police to calm things down in various meetings. So, Ryan,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 52: you're familiar with Nick Menapace's record like.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 28: This, right?
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 32: Yes.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 15: And that doesn't even speak to his political beliefs, which
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 15: are far to the left of the general public, and
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 15: certainly in his district.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 52: Yeah. Yeah, he, yeah. So, I mean, I don't understand,
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 52: and I guess you won't be, you're not being a
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 52: woman to answer this question, but why women who say
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 52: that they care about women's rights would vote for someone
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 52: who threatened to hit a woman in the face? And
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 52: he said, well, I didn't say it to a direct lady.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 15: Any woman, any woman out there, open your ears.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 52: You know very well if you heard it, have heard it,
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 52: or someone told you about it, that somebody wanted to
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 52: punch you in the face, you are threatened. And the staffer,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 52: they won't even tell us what he did. But anyway,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 52: I don't want to take up all your time, but
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 52: I do think that we need to think about people
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 52: like Nick, far left. wants people living in parks. We
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 52: need to also get the support in the legislature for
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 52: better programs and laws. Thank you.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 15: Yes, and that was a really good call and really incisive. And,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 15: you know, for people who live in southeastern Connecticut, you know,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 15: Nick Minipace is a working family, kind of, you know,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 15: very progressive Democrat state representative, and he's being challenged by
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 15: Ann Santoro, who is a great candidate, you know, very
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 15: kind of sensible, practical person who has served as a
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 15: select woman in local office and will make a great
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 15: state representative. And, you know, it's a classic case of Democrats,
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 15: you know, telling people to do what they say, not
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 15: what they do. You know, you have cases of someone,
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 15: you know, casting aspersions, you know, saying that police across
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 15: our state abuse their powers, you know, making threatening comments
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 15: that were overheard towards a female colleague, physically threatening comments
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 15: that he'd like to punch her in the face when
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 15: he hears her talk, and being abusive to his own staff,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 15: but because He's a Democrat in Hartford. He gets protected
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 15: by his fellow Democrats rather than being held to a
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 15: standard as an individual. You know, I think we have
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 15: to hold all people to a high standard. Republicans in Connecticut,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 15: when they were confronted with someone running for office who,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 15: you know, had said, I think, horrendous things, they mobilized
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 15: very quickly to replace him as a candidate and were
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 15: effective in that, whereas Democrats will protect their own If
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 15: they steal money, like the senator from Hartford, who is
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 15: under federal investigation for stealing millions of dollars, or like
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 15: Nick Menapace, who makes threatening comments to his colleagues and
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 15: mistreats staff, and they get protected by Democratic leadership. I mean,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 15: it's a double standard. That's what should be the Hartford
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 15: Courant and the mainstream media's priorities in the speaking truth
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 15: to power and covering the abuses that the people in power,
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 15: including Governor Lamont himself, are allowing to take place. We
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 15: need accountability in government. If people in power aren't held accountable,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 15: then you get the level of corruption and misuse of
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 15: public dollars that we see across Connecticut under this administration.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 15: It has to stop. Someone has to take responsibility. And
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 15: if they won't, they need to be replaced on November 3rd.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: Well, again, I blame a lot of it on our
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: news media that they're not covering what's really happening in
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: Connecticut unless it favors one party. And they won't hold
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: Lamont's feet to any fire. And all these fires around,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: there is like a tremendous amount of fires around Lamont.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: There's fraud everywhere. There's deception everywhere. There's lying on ads that,
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you're going to tax people to death and
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: The only thing you're going to have to do is
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: clean up all their messes so you won't be able
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: to reduce the taxes as much as you want the
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: first two years to clean up some of this mess
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: that they created. And I get that. And we already
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: know that we don't need any more new taxes because
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: we're paying $ 1. 5 billion for illegals and we have an
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: $ 800 million surplus. So that means we're already being overtaxed $ 2. 3 billion.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: So if we just redirect the spending to pay the
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: debt off, we can start cleaning things up in the
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: state of Connecticut. And the other thing, too, is, you know,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: when you look at the top 10 taxpayers that left
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: the state of Connecticut, we've lost some significant businesses. And,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm hoping that you'll actually go, you know,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: maybe meet with some of these CEOs. And we know
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: the issues are electricity, staffing, and maybe we can move
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: some of our community colleges to what they're lacking for
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: people and move the schooling to what's needed. Like, we
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: in the state of Connecticut try to put everybody in
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: the same round peg. Everybody's going to get educated the
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: same way. Well, Pratt & Whitney needs machinists, okay? Aetna
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: needs IT people, so not everybody's going to fit in
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: the same round peg that we're trying to put everybody in.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of things we can
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: do to enhance the state of Connecticut in keeping its
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: top employers. As you look, the 250-year celebration, we weren't there.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: Our governor did not set up a booth. It was
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: just an empty booth. We have Pratt & Whitney. We
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: have Sikorsky. We have Electric Boat. They've all gotten billions
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: of dollars worth of contracts in the last couple years,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: and they're going to need the staff to fill those contracts,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: and maybe we need to move our community colleges towards
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: what they need and put programming in that they suggest.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: But I don't think anybody's talking to anybody. So without
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: this conversation, we can't gear the state into what it
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: needs to do. And we don't need to form some
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: board that costs $ 10 million to look into a survey
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: to tell us what we need. We just got to
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: get on the phone and say, oh, hey, what are
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: you short? Oh, we need 300 mechanics, 300 machinists in
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: the next two years. Well, then we move the community
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: college that's closest to them to the machine school, and
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: we have their people come in and help teach what
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: needs to be done for their job programs. I don't
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: think any of this is that hard to do, but
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: we don't have the leadership that's making it happen.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 15: Now you have people who run for office who want
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 15: a title instead of want to do the job. But
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 15: the job can be done in this state. This state
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 15: can flourish. It could have jobs. It could have opportunities.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 15: There are all the resources in the world in this
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 15: state except for the right leadership to carry out their
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 15: duties in a responsible way, to make the state affordable,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 15: to make sure that services in the state government deliver
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 15: for our citizens and residents, and that the state is
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 15: absolutely zero tolerance in its approach to corruption and.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 41: Abuse of power.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 15: This state could succeed like no other place in the
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 15: entire country But we need new leadership first, and that's
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 15: what November 3rd.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 41: Is all about.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: Well, just to add to the economy, and we're going
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: to have to go. Ryan, give us your website one
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: more time, please.

• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: people about the things that really are going to matter
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: in the next year or so. get through this election.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: And then the first year is going to be the
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: real painful year. And then after that, it should be
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun with all the creation.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 15: Well, I appreciate it, George. I appreciate being with you,

• 1:48:35
  Speaker 15: the better.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: Perfect. Thank you so much, Ryan. Have a wonderful day.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: We're coming back with John Bolton. He's the next most
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: important person because if Ryan Fazio becomes governor, he is
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: definitely going to need an attorney general on his side.

• 1:52:52
  Speaker 44: in the cockpit. The Omani national had been banned from

  Speaker 1: Hi, this is George Agnelli from 94 News. Hold on
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: one second. There we go. We have some technical difficulties now.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: We got it figured out. Lee did it right. He
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: just hit it with a hammer. This is George Agnelli,
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: 94 News Now. I have the honor and the privilege
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: sitting next to me to introduce John Bolton, who's running
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: for attorney general. And if we're going to have Ryan
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: Fazio as our governor, we definitely have to have an
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: attorney general on our side. There is absolutely no question
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: about it that if Tong wins and Ryan Fazio wins,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: we're screwed. We've now paid for 69 lawsuits because of
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: his DTS scandal. He goes on elections and says, if
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: you don't vote my way, you shouldn't even be in office.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: And then here's a gentleman that, and I don't think
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: most people realize this, he took disabled students to task
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: and lost. And then he appealed the decision because he
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: can't be wrong, and he lost again. So he was
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: basically taking disability students' rights away over regular students' rights.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: So he tried to shorten them by one year, and
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: he got ordered to pay, I think, $ 100, 000 a student
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: for the damages for what he did because he kicked
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: them out of, without the lawsuit being gone through, he
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: kicked them out of the school before the lawsuit was
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: ever studied. And I'm going to give it to John Bull,
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: and he can tell you a lot more about this.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: But it's a pretty interesting story when you see how
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: hard he's fighting for illegal people in the state, and
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: he didn't fight for our disabled citizens. that are legal
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: in our state. John, go ahead with this one.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 13: Good morning, George. It's good to be here. So, yeah,
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 13: when the Trump administration sued Connecticut, I want to say
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 13: early August, with regard to the in-state tuition difference that
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 13: they were giving, the first thing that came out was
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 13: a press release that said, I'm going to trump out
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 13: of Connecticut, and every child or every kid deserves an education.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 13: And what he meant to say was every kid deserves
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 13: an education, except if you're special needs. Because Connecticut has
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 13: had a really bad track record that the Attorney General
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 13: has defended as recent as 2021. And, you know, what
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 13: was interesting was that they took a heavy loss in
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 13: federal court. The court found a gross violation of the
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 13: Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. And one of the defenses
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 13: that they put up at trial was, well, we've been
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 13: doing it for 40 years, so what's the big deal?
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 13: Which is amazing to me because that's saying basically, well,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 13: we've been violating the law for 40 years, so why
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 13: are you coming after us now? It's become commonplace. And
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 13: they were actually... admonished or warned by the federal courts
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 13: back in 2005 to stop doing it, and that the
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 13: age is 22, not 21, to not extend that year
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 13: for special needs students, where everybody else who's not special
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 13: needs has until 22, whether it comes in the form
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 13: of GED programs or extended school years or whatnot. So
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 13: it's amazing to me that he was more concerned about
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 13: illegal students getting in-state tuition rates than he was by
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 13: Connecticut special needs students. And that is exactly what my
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 13: campaign is about. It's about putting Connecticut first. You mentioned
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 13: the 69 lawsuits. It's absolutely right. The expenditures that are
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 13: being put in there just because it opposes the federal government,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 13: as opposed to going through a means test to say, look,
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 13: How much is this lawsuit going to cost? What are
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 13: the merits? How is it going to impact Connecticut? And
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 13: what is the likelihood of success? He doesn't do that.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 13: His means test or looking to see whether or not
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 13: a suit has merit is, am I going against Donald Trump?
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 13: Is it driven by DTS? You know, I think there
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 13: comes a point where anybody, this is not a partisan issue.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 13: This is common sense. You have to advocate for the
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 13: people of Connecticut first. That's your job. That's why they
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 13: call you the people's lawyer.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: And so this is what you have to do. And
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: people don't understand this, that he is giving illegal aliens
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: more rights in the state of Connecticut than he's giving
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: to special needs students. And he has a legal track
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: record online going against this. And he didn't agree with
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: the court's decision. So he decided to file an appeal
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: 31 days later. And they granted him the appeal even
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: though he was a day late in his appeal.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 13: It was close, yeah.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 13: He didn't want to take the L, number one. And
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 13: number two, he was 3-0, which is when a court,
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 13: when an appellate court rules 3-0 and says no argument,
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 13: not one out of four, not one out of three,
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 13: but no argument that you present here has any merit,
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 13: and you lose 3-0. I'm sorry, but that's a dark
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 13: period in the attorney general's tenureship of his office. In
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 13: a situation like that, you have to have an attorney
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 13: general that's going to say, look, governor, look, commissioner of education.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 13: We have a law here that we've been ignoring for
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 13: 40 years, and I think we need to figure out
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 13: a way to settle this case and make sure that
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 13: the students get what they need, and we will go
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 13: forward and give them whatever makeup education that the ones
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 13: who've been harmed and damaged lost. He didn't do that.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 13: He fought it to the end, and yet he has
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 13: no problem pontificating and lecturing the people of Connecticut about
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 13: what compassion is. Compassion for illegal students, compassion for illegal overall,
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 13: like in the city of New Haven. I think there
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 13: comes a point where enough is enough. We have to
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 13: take care of our own. Charity starts at the home.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: And then a lot of the other things that you
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: read about is like $ 2. 8 billion in assets not accounted
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: for in the state of Connecticut. Yeah. And you would
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: know a lot of those because your father was a
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: state auditor.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 12: Sure was.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: And we could use him right now. Since 2015... The
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: Board of Education, Department of Education, has not turned in
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: an audit on any of their expenditures because they do
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: not have enough staff. How can it take 11 years
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: not to turn in an audit? You can't turn in 15.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 31: 16, 17.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 13: And nor should it. And obviously that's what you call
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 13: looking the other way because you don't want to have
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 13: any kind of a stench from that to go over
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 13: to your boss. And that's why I always say to people,
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 13: I don't report to the governor and I don't report
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 13: to the legislature when I'm attorney general. I report to
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 13: the people of Connecticut. Look, this is one example you're
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 13: giving me, but I know that, for example, I think
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 13: $ 200 million is missing essentially from the Department of Economic
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 13: Development over the last decade or so. Where's that money? Now,
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 13: eight of the last 10 years has been under his
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 13: stewardship of that office. Where's that money? There's whistleblower complaints
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 13: that are stacked up on the desks of the Auditor
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 13: of Public Accounts. Why haven't they been looked at? If
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 13: you really want to know where the bad stuff is
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 13: going on in state government, start with the whistleblowers. It's
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 13: the employees that will know. And so, yeah, you have
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 13: to start asking questions. Why not the audit on the
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 13: education equipment? Is it on the back of a truck?
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 13: Is it being sold on eBay? Where is this stuff?
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 13: It's a lot of assets that are unaccounted for. It's
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 13: not the only agency either. It's rife.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: 40% of the state agencies did not turn in their audits.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: So can you imagine if you're like CEO of Bank
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: of America and 40 percent of your branches didn't turn
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: in your audits? You think you'd have a job?
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 13: That's right.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: You think about you just think about this. And the
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: attorney general is not even looking at, hey, why isn't
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: this here? Why isn't that there? What's this not here? But,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just craziness when you look at how
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: many millions, not even millions, it's billions. When you add
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: it up, there's 200 million here. There's two point eight
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: billion there.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 8: There's.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: $ 1. 5 million to this charity. There's $ 3 million to that charity.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: It's all unaccounted for. And they can't find $ 2. 5 million.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 1: What happened to the money? Because they move it from
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: charity to charity to charity. And then under state law,
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: it becomes unauditable when it's given to another charity. Once
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: you give it to the other charity, they don't have
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: to turn in an audit where the money went. And
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: yet these people are all driving around in Mercedes and work.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: We're giving, and no offense to pastors and people like that.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: They do good for people. But we're handing millions of
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: dollars to people that never handled a budget more than $ 100, 000
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: or $ 200, 000. And we're handing a million dollars. And here,
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: make sure you do good with it. Well, you're a pastor.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: You have to do good. Well, not all pastors are great.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: Not all priests are great. Not all. Everybody's great and
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: can handle this kind of money. And there's no education
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: in how to handle it. But we're like, oh, we
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 1: just gave $ 6 million to illegal aliens. for light bills,
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: but we're going to run it through this fund so
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: we don't have to audit who's legal and who's illegal.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: We just gave it to a new beginning.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and listen, so you have two cultures that you're
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 13: really describing here. One is a culture of inefficiency and competence.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 13: The second culture is one of corruption. And I always
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 13: tell people, because affordability is, I think, the number one
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 13: issue in this race, this entire campaign season, whether it's governor, comptroller,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 13: lieutenant governor, or my office, nothing Rises the cost or
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 13: makes the cost of living in Connecticut higher than corruption
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 13: corruption is the number one factor in my humble opinion
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 13: as to why it's so expensive to live in Connecticut.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 13: And you just cited the numbers, billions of dollars that
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 13: could be recycled into making our infrastructure better, our schools better,
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 13: take care of our veterans, elderly populations, making sure that
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 13: nursing homes are taking care of the elderly residents the
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 13: right way. We have a nursing shortage in Connecticut because
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 13: they don't want to live in Connecticut. This is all
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 13: traceable back to inefficiency, laziness, incompetence, and corruption.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: I believe in nurse. And we're going to take a
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: break and see if we can get this microphone figured out.
• 2:08:30

• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: Hi, this is George Agnelli from 94 News Now. We're
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 1: here with John Bolton, but I have to give one
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 1: more good plug because this is going to be a
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: great night. Tonight at Flanders Fish Market, hosted by Paul Formica,
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: Senator Ryan Fazio and future governor will be there. So
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: will Lee Elsie. So will Ian Santoro and a bunch
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: of other people will be there from 530 to 630.
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: It's a paid event. So if you get there early
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 1: and you want to contribute to helping out, you can
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: do that from 630 to 8. It's public open and
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: there's no fee for the 630 hour. So it's completely
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: up to you when you'd like to go. But if
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 1: you want to meet the next governor and tell him
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: your ideas, this is going to be a great place
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 1: to meet him. And it's going to be at Flanders
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: Fish Market and 22 Chesterfield Street in East Lyme. So
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: we're back with John Bolton. And, you know, one of
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 1: the big things are is that this administration, whether it's
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: the governor, whether it's the attorney general, whether it's Susan Bicewitz,
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 1: no matter what, they will not debate. They don't want
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: to be held accountable in front of a microphone because
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: then they might have to answer questions about what they've
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: actually been doing. And to date, Attorney General Tong will
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: not interview for a debate. And we can't figure out why,
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: because they're going to ask him about his 69 case.
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 1: lawsuits against Trump or the fact that he said publicly
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: that his DTS syndrome on one to 10 is a 12.
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 1: And he said this live on the air. These are
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 1: the different things that we're going to call out. And,
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: you know, if attorney Tong doesn't want to have a debate,
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to set up a debate and I'm going
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: to be attorney Tong. And I'm going to answer the
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 1: questions about all the things I'm done. And I'm going
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 1: to be very truthful. And I don't think he's going
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 1: to like how it's going to come out, but we'll
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 1: be able to ask the real questions and someone will
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: actually be able to give you an answer and That's
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 1: correct on what he did on fact and fiction. So
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to hand the microphone back over to John
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 1: Bolton to talk about more, you know, like 69 lawsuits
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 1: against the administration.
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 13: Or defending against. And, you know, he loves to put
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 13: out a good press release whenever it suits his personal
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 13: or political needs. So you never saw a press release
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 13: on the special ed case from five, six years ago.
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 13: You don't see a special ed case on the ones
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 13: that he's lost. And here's the deal. The attorney general
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 13: is essentially, right, the people's lawyer. It's not a record
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 13: I would want to defend right now because he clearly.
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 13: places his own political agenda above what the law requires.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 13: It is the largest law firm essentially in the state
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 13: of Connecticut. You're the senior managing partner. The client is
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 13: the people. And so when you have lawsuits out there
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 13: that are advancing the causes for illegals, or you have
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 13: lawsuits out there that are, for example, advancing the cause
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 13: for CBS and CNN. Like he came out last week
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 13: on a reel and he said, you know, with regard
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 13: to the settlement with Paramount and Time Warner, he opened
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 13: up his statement by saying to the journalists at CBS
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 13: and CNN, well, you know what? Tell that to somebody
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 13: that lives in Plainfield who's worried about the trash plant.
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 13: Tell that to somebody in Southington who's not going to
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 13: be able to afford their, you know, gas or electric
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 13: bills this winter when things get really cold. No one
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 13: cares about CNN and CBS right now. Those are conglomerates.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 13: that advance a very leftist agenda on the news. And
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 13: he places that at a much higher value than he
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 13: does the people of Connecticut. And that is going to
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 13: end on my watch.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 1: Well, so let's go back to the CBS and why
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: he's so against it is Ben Elliott, who is a strong,
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: strong Trump supporter, is the one buying CNN and CBS.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 27: Correct.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: And so he tried to block it as long as
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: he possibly could to save those reporters' jobs. And he
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: does not need another news media reporter to come in
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: and start questioning things that he's doing. And this is
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he fought this so hard.
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 1: And 12 blue states fought this because they did not
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: want Ben Elliott to be in charge of CNN prior
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 1: to the election.
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 13: That's exactly right. And let me just take it a
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 13: step further by saying that in doing so, they cast
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 13: it as an antitrust action. And even Gavin Newsom and
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 13: even Karen Bass, two of my not-so-favorite people, Even to
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 13: Rob Bonta, who's the California version of my opponent, what
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 13: are you doing here? It's a weak case and you're
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 13: going to kill jobs in our state.
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 22: Stop.
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 13: So it was a settlement that was great for California.
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 52: Right.
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 13: But not Connecticut. And that's what I think people need
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 13: to understand. The people's lawyer has to do the people's
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 13: work first.
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 32: Right.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 1: So the people's lawyer is not... suing the state of
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 1: New York for interstate fraud, which would then be a
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 1: 30-day case. It's like once this happens in interstate fraud,
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 1: within 30 days the Supreme Court has to rule on
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 1: it when there's an interstate fraud case. And New York
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 1: is blocking our rights from going to Pennsylvania and buying
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 1: natural gas. Everywhere you look, I don't care what item
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: you research or you talk about it on the Internet,
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 1: you ask chat rooms or whatever, They say we'll add one,
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 1: listen to this number, $ 1 billion we'll be saving on
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 1: natural gas if we can buy it from Pennsylvania and
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 1: bring it through New York to Connecticut. So a lot
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 1: of people don't realize the Jones Act doesn't allow boats
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: to ship natural gas from Texas to Connecticut. So we
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: have to buy our natural gas from Tibet, and it's
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: shipped on ships and shipped. LNG wants to buy ships,
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: and according to the Jones Act, which is a federal law,
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: the ships have to be built in the United States
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 1: and have to be owned by United States companies in
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: case we go to war. And this was done in
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: like 1927. Well, to build a ship in the United
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 1: States to carry natural gas is over a billion dollars.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: To build that same ship in Asia is $ 280 million dollars.
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 1: So we are now buying our gas from Canada, who
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 1: we have great relationships with right now. We're buying it
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 1: from Tibet. So I'm telling you, you might want to
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: get three or four cords of wood stocked up because
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 1: if the gas doesn't come to the house, you're not
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: going to be able to heat it. And the price
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 1: of it this winter, they say, is going to be
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: through the charts because there's just no way to ship
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 1: it into our ports. New London needs to be dredged.
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 1: So we can't hold it. And again, you have an
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: attorney general that's not going after New York. This pipeline
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 1: comes in. We add $ 1 billion. To the state of Connecticut. And,
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 1: you know, so when you take, so imagine that a
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 1: town could save 30% on their gas bill, like millions
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 1: of dollars.
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 13: Now, listen, it's a situation with interstate commerce. You have
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 13: to go straight to the Supreme Court. Whenever one state
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 13: sues another state, it's called an original action, and you
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 13: have to show a tangible harm to the state of Connecticut,
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 13: not necessarily the ratepayers. So, for example, Betsy McCoy's suit
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 13: was a ratepayer case, and she had great standing for
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 13: that because she's directly harmed by that. Connecticut has to
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 13: show the actual damage to the state. And that's something
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 13: that's a case that I am absolutely going to build.
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to come back in one minute. This is 94.9
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 1: with George Agnelli and John Bolton in the studio.
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 50: Gun rights case involving bans on what critics call assault weapons.

• 2:22:39
  Speaker 16: in southeastern Siberia. Media there saying the death was due
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 16: to a pneumonic plague. and that 200 people are currently
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 16: under observation.
• 2:22:48

• 2:22:49

• 2:22:55
  Speaker 26: the weekend on the Congo River, killing at least 30 people,

  Speaker 34: Won't fit through the door to.
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 40: Leave the studio, I might stay for the rest.
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 45: Of the hour.
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lee. I appreciate that. That was a great promotion.
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 1: But if you do want to sell your gold for
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 1: 11 Nubuck Avenue, it's your money. I didn't buy it.
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 1: I wasn't your partner. When you bought it, I shouldn't
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 1: be your partner. And so here we go. We have
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: John Bolton and we were talking. Hold on one second.
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 13: There we go.
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 7: John, fix this.
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, we got to talk. I got to talk to
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 1: the owner of the station.
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 13: We'll get the microphone.
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 1: We'll figure this out. No problem. I'll bring one the
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: next time. So we were talking about all the different
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 1: things that are going wrong in the state of Connecticut
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 1: and how we're not paying attention. And our attorney general
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: is not fighting for the people that he was sworn
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 1: to duty to uphold, the citizens of Connecticut. And as
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: we look at a policeman and his girlfriend that were
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 1: killed by an illegal alien driving drunk, and we look
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 1: at all the different issues, they don't make the mainstream media.
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: And this is one of the biggest problems is that
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 1: the people have, the state of Connecticut don't realize what's
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 1: really going on. So I'm going to turn the microphone
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 1: back over to John Bolton and let him talk. And
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: then we're going to take some phone calls. If anybody
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 1: has calls and questions he's gracefully done with Democrats don't do,
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 1: take random phone calls that we don't know what the
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 1: answers are for.
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 13: More than happy to take calls. You know, the people's
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 13: lawyer needs to hear from the people.
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 1: Let me just give the phone number out.
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 15: It's 860-464-9490.
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 1: And I turn the microphone back over to John Bolton.
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 13: So I am going to use your very nice airwaves
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 13: here to put out a second challenge a week after
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 13: my initial challenge, and I want to have a debate
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 13: with my opponent. I want to have it anywhere he wants,
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 13: any format, any moderator, or as I said in my
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 13: reel that I put out on X and Facebook, if
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 13: you want to do it in a parking lot in Enfield,
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 13: I'm down with that too. I'll even bring my own microphone. Actually,
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 13: I should have brought my own microphone for you today.
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 13: But seriously, it's something that I think the people need
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 13: to hear. There's a very stark contrast in this election.
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 13: This particular year, I will be the 26th Attorney General
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 13: running in 2026. The last time a Republican won this
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 13: seat was in 1954. I'm going to tell you right now,
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 13: as a historian, you will not have a more stark
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 13: contrast between two candidates than you have in this year's election.
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 13: I've made my positions extremely clear. I do not back
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 13: off from them. I am not wishy-washy. And I will
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 13: tell the truth, like I told yesterday in Hartford to
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 13: a group that may not have been the most receptive
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 13: to what I had to say, but I felt it
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 13: was important for me to go there and field their
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 13: questions so that they know that their attorney general, at
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 13: the end of the day, still has their best interests
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 13: at heart. Whether you vote for me or not, I'm
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 13: still going to be your AG. He likes to say
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 13: nobody's above the law when he brings all of his lawsuits.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 13: I like to say nobody's beneath the law's protection. And
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 13: that's my way of saying everybody is going to get
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 13: served in my administration today. when I get elected attorney general.
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 13: And it's something that has to be said in the
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 13: debate format because he has a record he has to defend.
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 13: He's got eight years of what I call a debris field,
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 13: which is pretty wide, that he needs to defend to
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 13: the people of the state of Connecticut. I think people,
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 13: if they really understood and realized just how little he
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 13: does to go to bat for them. Now, listen, I'm
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 13: not going to sit there and lie to you about
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 13: certain things that he's done. For example, the opioid settlement.
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 13: I'm not thrilled where all the money apparently has been going.
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 13: I know that Governor Lamont at one point wanted to
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 13: take some of that settlement money and put it into
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 13: the general fund for some slush fund projects. I'll bring
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 13: that up in a debate. Let him defend that for
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 13: his party, for his standard bearer. You know, the special
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 13: education case that we discussed at the outset of the show.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 13: He needs to sit there and look at everybody in
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 13: the debate audience and say, why did I take this position?
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 13: Why didn't I counsel my client, the agencies and advise
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 13: the governor? This was not a road you want to take.
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 13: But you'll do it for the illegals when it comes
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 13: to in-state tuition. These are answers that he needs to
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 13: give to the people of Connecticut. And if at the
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 13: end of the day they're satisfied with his answers, well,
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 13: then fine. But at least put it out there. And
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 13: I'm willing to question him on just about everything. And again,
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 13: you know, as I was driving in earlier, and this
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 13: is a really good point about I think where my
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 13: campaign stands on this, because you have to be the
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 13: sober adult in the room. That means you have to
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 13: tell the truth. You have to explain what the law is.
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 13: I'm going to tell you right now, I'm going to
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 13: have to defend an agency or a law that that
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 13: I may not personally or politically agree with or both.
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 13: But you know what? If it's lawful and that's the law,
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 13: that's my job, and I'm a big boy, and I
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 13: have to do it. So when you're talking about the
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 13: Diamantis pension, right? I think I said this on the
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 13: air when I was here two weeks ago on the phone,
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 13: and I said it in other interviews around the state.
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 13: The attorney general could not sue to take away Diamantis.
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 13: Am I pronouncing that right? Could not sue to take
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 13: away his pension until he got sentenced, which was only
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 13: until September 30th. You can't do it a day before
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 13: or any time before that. However, if the current attorney
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 13: general could be very proactive about taking away qualified immunity
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 13: from police, expanding the Trust Act, make it impossible for
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 13: police to be anywhere near a polling station and all
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 13: the other nonsense he's promoted with his bully pulpit, which
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 13: is exactly what an AG is supposed to do, then
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 13: he should have been rallying. to get the law changed
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 13: when it comes to corruption and pensions for state officials
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 13: who are found to be corrupt. That is what I
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 13: will hammer him for that. But I won't hammer him
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 13: for bringing the lawsuit too late or sitting on it
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 13: because the statute didn't allow him to do that. I
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 13: have to be fair. I have to explain to everybody
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 13: what the law says. But having said that, he needs
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 13: to use the full force of his office to change
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 13: that law so that the minute they get indicted, you
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 13: can at least suspend it without prejudice and And then afterwards,
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 13: you can then take it away. And at least the
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 13: money did not go to the corrupt official. But they
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 13: don't do that in Connecticut. They just like to keep
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 13: the status quo for their buddies. And you said it earlier.
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 13: They protect their friends. Not in my administration.
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 1: So we have a lot to talk about. And our
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 1: microphone is giving us.
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 13: Grief again, but that's all right. Did you borrow it from.
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 1: The AG's office? Yeah, he probably put it in place
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 1: for today. So we're going to take a call from
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 1: Reed from the Northwest Hills. Reed, you're on with John
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 1: Bolton and George Agnelli. Thank you for calling in.
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 41: Good morning.
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 56: You know, this has been a really excellent program. I
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 56: have been listening since the opening bell at 6 o'clock,
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 56: and I have never heard so many disturbing things talked
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 56: about in such a calm way. It's sort of ethereal.
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 56: But the one presentation, I'm not sure if I'm out
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 56: of order in bringing this up after the fact of
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 56: such duration, but the woman who presented with respect to
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 56: voter fraud was unbelievable. And I'm just wondering if her
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 56: work includes a projected, corrected map or chart or whatever
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 56: that would show what the outcomes would have been had
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 56: all the instances that she has calculated and recorded of
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 56: voter fraud been removed from the results?
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. I don't think Linda can do
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 1: that herself. I think what she's done is beyond unbelievable.
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 12: That would be an interesting exercise.
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 22: Don't you think?
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 1: It would be. I just don't think she has the
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 1: time for it. I try not to look in the past.
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 1: What happened in the past happened in the past, but
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 1: if we don't change the future and look towards the positive...
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 1: What the negative was in the past, we can't go
• 2:36:47
  Speaker 1: back and change.
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 50: Well, that's true, but it gives you a database.
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 56: A baseline in studying the situation, and that's useful for
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 56: strategic purposes.
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 1: Well, first thing is we have to get an attorney
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 1: general in that cares about voter fraud.
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 1: And that cares that we're going to move forward with
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 1: the voter fraud. and making sure we don't have it.
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 1: And that means going back to driver's licenses that say
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: they're a non-citizen. And that means going back to the
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 1: things that all these things that a supermajority is sort
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 1: of controlling. And they're like, well, if we can pick
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 1: up 10,000 extra votes, let the Republicans work that hard.
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 1: Because it's a 40-60 state, yet we do not have
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 1: any representation in Congress, in the House of Senate, in
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 1: our government, except a very small minority party, and they
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 1: have a supermajority. So when it's a 40-60 state, as
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger said, he goes, look at all the fraud
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 1: in Connecticut and Massachusetts and wherever. They jurymandered all the
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 1: state seats and so that a Republican will never win.
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 1: And the only way they're going to win is the
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 1: corruption gets so bad, and the Democrat says, oh, my God,
• 2:37:53
  Speaker 1: I have to do it. I have to break with
• 2:37:56
  Speaker 1: my rules, and I have to stop voting party line.
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 56: Well, I thought the most interesting proposal was the one
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 56: that said, you know, what morticians have to do in
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 56: reporting deaths, in immediately purging the rolls of on the
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 56: event of death. I thought that was the most persuasive, sensible,
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 56: and direct proposal, and I can't believe that if you
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 56: went around and polled the coroners of the various jurisdictions
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 56: around the state, they would have to be overwhelmingly in
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 56: favor of that, wouldn't they?
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 1: Again, we have to get an attorney general. He's sitting
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 1: next to me. I'm just trying to think of a
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 1: campaign strategy for that.
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 56: In terms of this idea that you get a political
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 56: result when somebody, quote, has to do it, end quote,
• 2:38:52
  Speaker 56: that would be a persuasive manner, wouldn't it?
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 13: But you want a lawful result. And the whole point
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 13: that I make about voter fraud is in order to
• 2:38:59
  Speaker 13: prove voter fraud, you have to essentially prove it by
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 13: what they call clear and convincing evidence, which is just
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 13: an eyelash below beyond a reasonable doubt. It is the
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 13: second highest burden of proof there is. And so instead
• 2:39:10
  Speaker 13: of taking that route and making my job any harder
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 13: than it will be as AG, I like to say,
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 13: why not, since 40% of Americans, maybe higher, believe that
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 13: their vote doesn't count and believe it's diluted and believe
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 13: and has very little confidence in our systems of elections,
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 13: why not take these steps to restore the confidence? Because
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 13: government's job is to restore the confidence in many things,
• 2:39:33
  Speaker 13: provide certainty, and provide confidence in how we elect our leaders.
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 13: Why not take those steps?
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 56: Right, and in the case of circumventing that burden of
• 2:39:43
  Speaker 56: proof— You don't have to have a burden of proof
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 56: with respect to the proposal of on the event of
• 2:39:50
  Speaker 56: death that a death certificate is filed, that that immediately
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 56: goes to various parties that would instantly purge the rolls.
• 2:39:59
  Speaker 56: That doesn't require any proof of fraud, does it?
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 13: No, it does not.
• 2:40:02
  Speaker 22: That's just a sensible idea.
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 13: It's a sensible idea, and it's a confidence-building measure. And
• 2:40:06
  Speaker 13: that's exactly where I come from when it comes to
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 13: the issue of voter fraud or sanctity of elections. Listen,
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 13: there's no higher duty. or no more sacred act of
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 13: a citizen, of a citizen, than voting in a Democratic election.
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 13: And I will do everything and anything to make sure
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 13: that the confidence of our people in Connecticut is at
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 13: an all-time high when it comes to the time we
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 13: go into the voting meal. I really believe that.
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:40:30
  Speaker 56: Well, bravo, and this has been a great show.
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 13: Thanks.
• 2:40:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Reid. I appreciate it. I try to work
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 1: hard for my buddy, Lee. And we're going to go
• 2:40:37
  Speaker 1: to the next caller because we're going to try and
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 1: get everybody in. We're going to go to Dan from
• 2:40:40
  Speaker 1: East Hampton, and thank you, Reid.
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 16: Hey.
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 41: Good morning. I agree completely with Reid. I've been listening
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 41: since kind of first light also. And it's actually voter
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 41: fraud that prompts this call as well. I think it's
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 41: a big issue. New England, you know, New York and
• 2:40:57
  Speaker 41: New England, you know, vote about 40 to sometimes over
• 2:41:03
  Speaker 41: 40 percent are either Republican or conservative. And there is
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 41: zero representation in all of New England except for Susan Collins,
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 41: who In all of the states. So, you know, I
• 2:41:18
  Speaker 41: know we say we want to get somebody in and
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 41: we want to do this and we want to do that. But,
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 41: you know, Reid's point is excellent. And so was your
• 2:41:27
  Speaker 41: guess or your other guess, you know, near point as well,
• 2:41:31
  Speaker 41: who brought up the fact that several of these races
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 41: are decided by five or six votes, 30 votes, 20 votes.
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 2:41:38
  Speaker 41: The idea that we have to genuflect to widespread– the
• 2:41:44
  Speaker 41: idea that it's widespread or vast voter fraud is what's
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 41: stopping any action from happening.
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 13: In other words, you're making the burden higher than it
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 13: has to be, and that's exactly why I call it
• 2:41:57
  Speaker 13: a confidence-building measure. Put guardrails in so that everybody knows
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 13: that you're having a fair system of elections, and that's
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 13: 100 percent right. Linda Sinkwood said something that I've always
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 13: said too. Connecticut is not as deep blue as everybody thinks.
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 13: I think it's a very purple state. The highest number
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 13: of voting bloc is the unaffiliated or independents in Connecticut.
• 2:42:18
  Speaker 13: Those are the people that we need to go and
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 13: reach out to with common sense. And I'm going to
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 13: tell you something. I'm not saying anything that's brilliant, no
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 13: magic sauce. I'm not always the smartest guy in the room,
• 2:42:28
  Speaker 13: but I'm talking common sense. It's a nonpartisan approach that
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 13: I have because I am guided by the law, not politics.
• 2:42:35
  Speaker 13: My opponent, he puts politics ahead of everything.
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 41: You know, you have the potential to be in that seat,
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 41: and I've been telling people for a while, it's the
• 2:42:45
  Speaker 41: driver's licenses to illegal aliens is the groundwork for the
• 2:42:51
  Speaker 41: fake ballot.
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 41: You know, the one that gets through the machine and
• 2:42:54
  Speaker 41: gets through the process. Something has to be done about that.
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 41: When people talk about there being no confidence in the vote,
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 41: they're not talking about, like, oh, you know, Mike Lindell
• 2:43:03
  Speaker 41: or Trump, you know, making accusations that the elections are rigged.
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 41: We're talking about the fact that there's no representation for
• 2:43:10
  Speaker 41: any Republicans in the entirety of all New England and
• 2:43:14
  Speaker 41: the fact that there's no way that that is humanly
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 41: possible without some type of fraud being not just widespread
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 41: but systemic. I mean something has to be done about it.
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 13: Can I give you an example? So I've done in
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 13: the past, and one of the reasons why I have
• 2:43:30
  Speaker 13: such a high interest in that special education case that
• 2:43:32
  Speaker 13: we started the hour off with is I do some
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 13: education law. And when DSS comes out to sign up
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 13: somebody who reaches the age of majority but has a
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 13: guardian from the probate court, they come with a voter
• 2:43:44
  Speaker 13: registration card. And I know of two instances where it
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 13: was already filled out that you were going to be
• 2:43:49
  Speaker 13: a Democrat, not a social worker. I kid you not.
• 2:43:52
  Speaker 13: I've heard stories like in Torrington about the same thing
• 2:43:55
  Speaker 13: with the elderly in nursing homes where a voter outreach
• 2:43:58
  Speaker 13: program was allowed to come into a nursing home. They
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 13: already pre-filled out the– You know, the party. I mean,
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 13: and that's another part of the systemic issues that you
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 13: just discussed. It doesn't make a lot of the headlines,
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 13: but it's done. It's an undercurrent. It's done below the radar,
• 2:44:14
  Speaker 13: and it adds to what you were just saying.
• 2:44:16
  Speaker 41: And probably one of the greatest things that could be
• 2:44:18
  Speaker 41: done to limit voter fraud in all of the country,
• 2:44:23
  Speaker 41: not just in the states, is Election Day. One day.
• 2:44:29
  Speaker 41: One person, one vote, one day. They lose the election,
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 41: and then they just start counting and counting and counting
• 2:44:35
  Speaker 41: and manufacturing ballots until they win. We can't allow that.
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 1: Reid, I'm going to have to cut you short because
• 2:44:41
  Speaker 1: we're running to the end of the show, and I
• 2:44:43
  Speaker 1: can't believe how fast three hours goes on Monday morning,
• 2:44:45
  Speaker 1: but it does. Thank you very much, Reid, for the
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 1: phone call.
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 13: Good call.
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 1: John, I'm going to turn back to you. How do
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 1: people get a hold of you? How do people contribute
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 1: to your campaign?
• 2:44:54
  Speaker 8: How.
• 2:44:55
  Speaker 1: What's the best? I'm going to give you two minutes
• 2:44:56
  Speaker 1: to plug yourself.
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 13: There you go. So, George, you know I got in
• 2:44:58
  Speaker 13: really late. Essentially, everybody started about eight, nine months ahead
• 2:45:03
  Speaker 13: of me on the fundraising. I got in late because
• 2:45:05
  Speaker 13: it was my understanding when the party approached me that
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 13: there was no opponent for the current attorney general, which
• 2:45:10
  Speaker 13: is something I refuse to accept. So I knew the
• 2:45:12
  Speaker 13: deck was kind of stacked in that regard. I didn't care.
• 2:45:16
  Speaker 13: I didn't care because I know what I have to
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 13: do for the state of Connecticut. I was made for
• 2:45:19
  Speaker 13: this job. So for those of you folks who want
• 2:45:21
  Speaker 13: to help me continue to raise money, Because money buys airtime,
• 2:45:25
  Speaker 13: and I have to get my message to everybody in Connecticut.
• 2:45:28
  Speaker 13: And I think we're doing a good job of it,
• 2:45:29
  Speaker 13: but we can do a better job with money. Go
• 2:45:32
  Speaker 13: to John Bolton, number 4, AG. So it's JohnBolton4AG. com. And
• 2:45:37
  Speaker 13: I ask people to go to the website for two reasons. One,
• 2:45:39
  Speaker 13: I would love a donation. It does not matter the amount.
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 13: Every little bit helps. But also, we have an info box.
• 2:45:45
  Speaker 13: If anybody has anything they want to ask me or
• 2:45:48
  Speaker 13: say they like about my campaign or don't like about
• 2:45:51
  Speaker 13: my campaign, I want to hear from you. because that's
• 2:45:53
  Speaker 13: what the people's lawyer is supposed to do. So there's
• 2:45:56
  Speaker 13: two functions with the website. Come over, ask any question,
• 2:45:59
  Speaker 13: make a complaint, tell me that I'm not being fair
• 2:46:02
  Speaker 13: on a certain issue or that I'm addressing it right,
• 2:46:04
  Speaker 13: and also to make a donation, because I am going
• 2:46:07
  Speaker 13: to make a difference in the state. I am going
• 2:46:09
  Speaker 13: to return the Office of the Attorney General to the
• 2:46:11
  Speaker 13: people of Connecticut and not make it beholden to the
• 2:46:14
  Speaker 13: Democratic National Committee and George Soros.
• 2:46:17
  Speaker 1: All right, we're going to be heading out, but make
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 1: sure you go and say hello to Lee Elsey tonight
• 2:46:22
  Speaker 1: at Flanders Fish Market at 5 o'clock. He'll love to
• 2:46:26
  Speaker 1: see you.
