Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boston's Bulldozer never sleeps. The Kooner Report weekend edition on
the Voice of Boston WRKO.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Okay, big story in the Boston Globe. Yes, the Boston Globe.
I can't believe I'm saying it. Daily Mail Now has
also picked up on it in England, in Britain, other
media outlets as well. So thousands, literally thousands of illegal
aliens families migrants as they're called, are now being put
(00:28):
on a housing subsidy program. It is called home Base,
in which they are receiving thirty thousand dollars taxpayer funded
provided by Governor Mora Heely through this home Base program
in which they can help supplement the cost of rent,
(00:48):
pay for security deposits literally by furniture. I'm not kidding. Well,
many of them are burning through the money so fast
it's supposed to last two years. By nine ten eleven months,
it's gone. And one woman profiled in this Boston Globe piece,
her name is in the Dean. They deliberately withheld her
(01:09):
last name because she fears she will be deported. Now
has gone through the whole thirty thousand dollars in ten months,
and now she says, give me more money. It's not enough,
or send me back to the emergency shelter system, or
send me back to the hotels and the motels. But
apparently thirty thousand is not enough. All right, I want
(01:31):
to go back to John Featherston, John and Ashland. John, Please,
can you do me and the audience a big favor
because you really blew the lid on this with your
call and we had to break just what is it?
Eight eight minutes ago? John, She's saying it's worse than
what the Globe describes. Not only is this illegal alien
(01:54):
mom getting thirty thousand dollars taxpayer money to supplement her rent.
You said, there's four thousand dollars. What does that go to?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It's done her EBT card or you know it's you
know welfare, you know welfare ebt cards.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Every month, So that's four thousand every month, every month,
four thousand okay, right, yep.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Then our WICK card which is Women in Crisis card
which if women with children have them, and a lot
of the families have multiple EBT cards and WICK cards
because they manipulate the system. So that's either three to
five hundred dollars a month. She gets free Wi Fi
and a cable in her apartment, probably because there's a
program running for the migrants for that. There's a program
(02:42):
that they get their taxes done for free. And you say, well,
they don't work, why do they get taxes, Well, because
they get the child child tax credit of four thousand dollars.
They get free legal advice for what the asylum lawyers
will tell you are mostly bogus asylum claims, so they
get free representation on that. They get still get free
Uber rides up to New Hampshire for their immigration hearings
(03:06):
if they have those. But Jeff, the thirty thousand dollars
figure is mind blowing. But it's worse because when I
was placing families with homebase, we were paying a five
thousand dollars i'll call it bribe to the landlord. Then
it went to ten thousand. Now I'm hearing reports that
it's as high as fourteen thousand dollars to a landlord
(03:27):
to say, hey, please take this family in. No they
don't have a credit score, No they're not residents. No
they don't speak English, but we really need you as
on them. Here's a fourteen thousand dollars bonus, and we'll
pay up to fifty thousand dollars over the two years
to supplement their rent for you as well. And the
Globe says that you know they're buying furniture. I can't
(03:48):
tell you how many times that I went to local
you know, good good people, good places, local places to say, hey,
I'm moving this family into a new apartment in Framingham,
can you give me a couch of bit? And you know,
some dressers and bureaus. We were loading up these migrants
families with full apartments full of furniture. They weren't buying
their own furniture. We had a program in the Marble
(04:11):
Shelter where every family that moved out got a new bed,
with new linens, with new pots and pans, and and
you know, goods for the house, towels and sheets and
so forth. So I used to sit with the migrants
and say, if you stay in this migrant hotel and
manage your money conservatively, you'll walk out of here with
sixty thousand dollars in your bank account, your rent paid
(04:34):
for for two years, and all of your you know
healthcare is paid for by mass Health as well too.
You're gonna have more money than I, who have worked
all my life as a middle class public servant. You're
gonna be better off than I am. You know, you
should be glad that you're here in America. And you
know then they would tell you the food was terrible
and they weren't happy with their room and everything. So
(04:56):
nothing's gonna make anybody happy. And Heally has destroyed Massachusets
in the process.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
John, This is incredible. John.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So you're saying, even with all of this large Jess
to these illegals, they're not happy with the money, They're
not happy with the room, they're not happy with the food.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Like what is it?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
What do they want? What they want to stay in
the Sheraton or the Marriott? Like, I mean, seriously, how
much more do they want?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
When you give something to somebody for free, what is that?
It has no value? It has no value. When you
earn something and you work hard and you finally win
or you have enough money to finally buy something that
you want, you appreciate it because you worked hard and
you earned it and you deserved it. When you're given
everything for free, you don't appreciate it because it's just free.
(05:47):
You'll expect more free stuff. And Heally does this because
you mentioned it in a couple earlier segments. She wanted
to do this to keep power because she never, in
her wildest dreams, thought in August of twenty twenty five
she would be the governor of Massachusetts. She thought she
was going to be the Attorney General of the United
States of America under the Joe Biden administration. She purposely
(06:10):
did this to destroy Massachusetts and keep the power in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
John Dynam call, and I just want to make sure
because people are texting in saying is that possible? So
on top of the thirty thousand that we're giving these
so called you know, illegal alien migrant families for rent
and furniture and whatever you're saying, we're also giving a
quote unquote incentive or bonus to the landlords of up
(06:36):
to fourteen thousand dollars. That's on top of the thirty thousand,
just to take them in correct.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
One hundred percent? Correct?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
John?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
How much is this We only got thirty seconds left, John,
How much is this costing us?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
How much is this gonna cost us?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's cost us Massachusetts, Jeff, It's cost us Massachusetts. There's
no recovering from.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
This mess, John, outstanding?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Call John, Please you know you don't call often enough,
my friend, don't be a stranger. That's John Featherston, by
the way, Dynamite stuff. Follow him on social media, John,
thank you again. Six one seven two sixty six, sixty eight,
