Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number Anthony in Nashauah. Thanks for holding Anthony,
and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good morning, Jeff. How are you doing good?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
How are you Anthony good?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I spoke to you like a month ago, and now
I got you on Facebook. I followed you for many years.
I love you, you know, in a non sexual way.
I hope you keep on the ear for many many
years to come. I'm gonna be sad when you come there.
You have to retire on me. But anyway, I listened
to you every morning on my blocks. And the stuff
that the Democrat Party is doing is insane, Like at

(00:36):
this point, they should be arrested the governors. At my point,
if you're going to harbor these Democrats, like set an example.
You know, they say no one's about the laws, So
let's set an example. Start arresting people, throw them the
deal with harsh penalotyes, so that the next generation doesn't
make the same DM mistakes. And it's just you know,
I'm a diehard patriotean. You know, I love this country

(00:58):
and my teachers, and so the terms of patriotism in me,
I'm actually from your neck of the Woods, I graduated,
came so up in five and the stuff that's going
on now and the way the kids are being raised
and stuff. Everything that's been going on so like the
last good I would say, fifteen twenty years, it blows
my mind. I mean, I'm so glad we got a

(01:19):
great leader in there that's, you know, really trying to
change it around. I believe Trump was saved by God.
You know that. I saw him get shot, you know,
and I believe he was saved, you know, for and
he's on a mission. And this is definitely like twenty
other callers said, a fight of good versus evil.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
There's no question, no in Anthony. Look, just to drill
down to what you're saying, you're making excellent points, is
it's insane. Really, it's insane. You've got fifty fifty. Look,
there's always one crazy person here or there. We're not
talking about, you know, one crazy lawmaker that happens to
every party, Okay, there's always say you know, I'll never

(01:58):
forget this, Anthony. When I was doing my PhD coursework
at Ohio University in Athens, and I forget what it was.
Somebody we were in a class with one of my professors,
and he was a brilliant man. I wrote, by the way,
the definitive biography on Eisenhower. His name is Professor Charles Alexander.
He's retired now. But I forget what it was. Somebody

(02:19):
in the it was a graduate class, and one of
the graduate students took a shot. I forget who it was.
It was some crazy politician in Congress, and he just said, look,
we're then it was three hundred million. Now we're three
hundred and forty million. But he said, you know, we're
a nation of three hundred million. He goes, you're going
to have idiots. Like, don't make a big deal out
of this. In other words, like we've always had idiots,

(02:41):
we always will have idiots. We're a big country. We're
three hundred million people. Yeah, you canna have a lot
of idiots. So I get that we're not talking about
one lawmaker, two lawmakers. That happens fifty fifty Democratic Texas
lawmakers led by their freaking their leader, their House leader,

(03:03):
their House Minority leader, Gene Wu. And because you don't
like the redistricting plan that the Democrats have done, and
I don't know how many other states, your response is
not to vote against it, to give speeches, to rally opposition,
to do whatever you can do as the opposition party
in a state legislature. No, no, no, no, Anthony, they

(03:27):
high tail it out of there so they can have
a quorum. So literally you can't do anything in the
state legislature. The state. The government is paralyzed. It's illegal.
They're vacating their seats, they're violating their oaths, they're committee
these are crimes, they're outlaws, they're actual outlaws. And then

(03:48):
they're hiding out in other Blue states being by the way,
all of this being paid for by Bato or Rourke
and his pack. So it's private money, which a bribe.
It's a bribe, paying for their private jets, paying for
their food, paying for their expenses, paying for their hotel rooms,

(04:09):
paying for everything. And they're hiding out in other Blue
states being coddled and given safe haven by the governors.
I've never and in theory, this is what they're saying.
In theory, it's what they're saying. No, if we have
to hide out for months, like what are were you,
Jesse James? Oh? Really for years? So you mean to

(04:33):
tell me you're never gonna come back? To do your
job in the state legislature. In other words, the state
legislature will just stay permanently shut down because Texas is
doing what all of you have done in other states.
As Stephen Miller said last night, he goes, the Democrats
quote unquote have jerry mandered this country beyond recognition. It's true.

(04:59):
They're gonna lose use thirty seats just by the census alone.
That's how much they freaking jerrymandered thirty house seats. That's
I mean, that's huge. That thirty house seats is what
you call either a red wave or a blue wave.
When you know in a midterm or an election, they
go ooh, the Democrats picked up thirty seats, that's a
blue wave. The Republicans picked up thirty seats, that's a

(05:22):
red wave. And they just did it by jerrymandering thirty
freaking house seats because of the illegal aliens that are
counted in the census. So they're hiding out and they
think this is okay, and they're being cheered on, and
the governor of this state, this clown mori Heely, they're

(05:45):
leaving us with no choice. Honestly, it's not gonna happen.
But honestly, I hope the FBI arrests arass.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
And all what.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I love it if she's harboring them in their home. Oh,
kick that door down, grab those lawmakers, and arrest her
on the spot. But really, Anthony, this is the inmates
are running the asylum. I mean, am I Anthony, am
I wrong?

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Just like you always say, Jeff, you have one thousand
percent right, and it's I think we need to go
back to the only counting the ashelist citizens in this
country absolutely count only people that should be here. If
you're not supposed to hear, you shouldn't be counting. You
need to get the hell.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Out, Anthony, thank you very much for that call. I
really appreciate it. I mean this is surreal, you know,
I mean, really the only thing missing is for these
Democrat lawmakers to have like black hats, you know, like
in the old Westerns, and these marshals and FBI agents
that have like white hats, Like that's the only you know,

(06:51):
like with a badge, you know, I mean, that's that's
the only thing missing. And then they're you know, like
what you know, in the middle of that town Boston,
you know, with the boots and and the six shooters
on the side, and it's like, Hi noon, you know
we're going to settle this mental animal. Joining us now

(07:13):
as she always does at this time the co founder, CEO,
president of Kelly Financial Services, and yes, that is her
wonderful name, Kelly. Kelly, Kelly, how are.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
You good morning, Jeff? I am good. Retirement should be
about peace of mind, but too often people head into
it carrying silent risks like running out of money, market drops,
healthcare cost, or waiting too long to plan. At Kelly
Financial Services, we've spent over twenty years helping people retire

(07:54):
with clarity and confidence. Our team of fiduciary advisors meet
one on one with client clients every day to create
personalized plans that reduce risk and bring real peace of mind.
That's why I wrote Retire Your Fear, Plan Your Future,
a practical guide to help you spot real risk and

(08:14):
take smart steps to avoid them. It covers social security,
long term care, income planning, and how to build the
retirement lifestyle. You really want to get your free copy
or to speak with one of our advisors, give us
a call or email Kelly at Kellyfinancial dot org. Jeff

website for the radio rewind Jeff, have a wonderful weekend.
My best, de Grace and the kiddos.

Speaker 1 (08:49):

Nine thirty five Now on the Great WRKO Jeff Cooner
Boston's Bulldozer Debbie in the Great State of New Hampshire,
the Freedom State, Live Free or Die. Thanks for holding

(09:31):
Debbie and welcome Hi, Jeff.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
I just had a thought. I know that you're probably
tight with the president or you know some people in
his part is his his administration? That analogy that you
made him going to actink free, housing, free, food, free, healthcare, free, free,
free free. Why can't somebody go on TV and hold
a press conference and say say the same exact thing
that you did.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I mean, book, Debbie, say no crap, no, no whatever.
Please just don't swear, Debbie, because you're gonna that's technically
considered profanity. And anyway, So I know the Libs get
away with it all the time. They do it on
the broadcast networks, but I can't on cable news. They're

(10:17):
always using the S word. Just say no excrement, no poop,
no crap, but please, Debbie continue.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
So basically the public should have, you know, hold a
news conference and actually have people hear that common sense
analogy and they'll be like, no kidding. I mean, they
would kick ourselves so fast, our heads would spin. I
think they just need to hear something that simple, that
common sense.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Well, I can just tell you this, Debbie. Stephen Miller
makes this point over and over and over again. He does.
He lays it down, lays it out, forgive me, puts
it down the way I do. But he's an exception.
I agree with you. I don't know why it's not

(11:07):
that complicated, you know, it really isn't. And you know,
even here in Massachusetts you've got Republicans now running to
be governor, to challenge Mori heally, and there's so many
ways you could attack her that would attract independence many

(11:27):
disaffected Democrats. She's extremely vulnerable. They refuse to do it,
and really Debbie, Ultimately, it's a question of will and
it's a question of intelligence, and most people think that
they have to. It's a sign of insecurity. You know,

(11:48):
when you say your lawyer that you work for says
keep it simple, stupid. Keeping it simple is actually a
sign of self confidence. You don't need to show someone
you're intelligent by using big words, fancy language, complex jargon.
But in Washington, and I'm telling you, I'm having it
for ten years, politicians are the most insecure people you

(12:12):
will ever ever meet. In fact, I have a theory.
It's not original. A lot of people have said this,
but when I look at a politician, nine times out
of ten, there's a few exceptions, but nine times out
of ten, you can tell they're running for office, not
because they care or they want to give back or

(12:33):
quote unquote public service. You can tell they have a
personal issue. You can see it on them. I don't know,
mommy issues, daddy issues are profound insecurity, whatever it is,
but they're dealing with complexes, inadequacies, insecurities, and they think

(12:55):
that somehow, by winning elective office and getting that kind
of public validation, that those insecurities will go away. It doesn't.
It doesn't, I'm telling you, it just doesn't. And so
to compensate, they'll try to, you know, seem very smart.
They'll try to use words that people don't understand. Nobody

(13:17):
talks like them, and so they think, well, if I
use the bigger the word, the more jargon I put in,
the smarter I'll come across. I'm like, no, you're not
coming across as profound. You're coming across as obscure. You're
really you're you're you're confusing people. People don't understand what
you're saying, and you come across like a real phony.

(13:40):
And if you notice, the key to Trump's success, he's
comfortable in his own skin. I mean, really, in life,
it just comes down to this, He's comfortable in his
own skin, and he'll talk simply, and by talking simply,
he talks effectively because everybody understands what he's saying, and
he said what he means, and he means what he says.

(14:02):
But no, Debbie, you're completely right for the Life of
Me Miller does it. I know Steve Bannon who's not
part of the administration, but Steve Bannon is very good
at this. He will lay it out. Here's what illegals get.
Bang bang bang bang? Is that right? Is that just?
Is that fair? But people in the administration, no, they

(14:23):
they have to give a speech and it just it
doesn't work. It goes over it. People's heads. People get,
you know, are like, what is he saying? What?

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Like?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
You're making it too complicated. It's not that complex an issue.
It really isn't. So Look, you're right. I'm a big
believer in speak clearly, speak, simply speak frankly six one
seven directly six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight. Ray in Virginia, the Commonwealth. Thanks for holding

(14:59):
Ray and welcome.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
Hey Jeff, longtime, longtime. You lost the stake to me
many years ago over Hillary Clinton. I'll bet you a
stake to a hot dog. They will re elect Ray
Healey Massachusetts has terminal cancer.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Ray. I can't take that betman, because you're gonna win.
You'll win the hot dog, you'll win the steak, you'll
win the whole thing. I'm afraid you're right. I'm afraid
you're right.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Ray.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Let me ask you this, and I know this is
pie in the sky, But if you could just indulge me, Ray,
say we had a good, decent, honest, serious Republican candidate
who would really prosecute a case against Heally and would
run a good, tough campaign and would just lay out

(15:55):
how she's destroyed our state simply, clearly, a effectively, no apologies.
Would that give you hope that maybe she's beatable? No chance?

Speaker 6 (16:12):
Why I told you steak. I'll bet you two steaks,
so I talk.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
No, No, I Ray, Ray, you're winning to bet my friend?

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
But no, Ray, why is it you're saying, even if
you have a great Republican candidate the mood there's just
too many moonbats? Is that what you're saying? There's too
many crazy left wing lunatics in this state?

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, let's go back to Ray in Virginia.
Ray is desperately trying to get me to bet with him.
I don't blame him. He's gonna take me to the cleaners,
all right, Ray, let me ask you, Okay again, let's

(16:58):
let's dream, let's fantasize a little bit. It say Trump
and Holman succeed and they deport every single illegal alien
out of Massachusetts, the People's Republic. They get rid of them,
every single illegal and you get a phenomenal Republican candidate,

(17:19):
and you get a candidate that's not afraid to really
take it to hold it heally, do you still think
Massachusetts is a completely lost cause?

Speaker 6 (17:32):
Yes, they're like robots. You ever see the line of
Duncan Daughters for the water? Jeff, you haven't been around
long enough. Massachusetts has been like this since I was
a kid. I call them about two points.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, go ahead, right.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
God, Okay. Number one, you said that we were gonna
go broke over the illegal aliens. Everything's free. You're wrong.
Every work in press and sucker does listening to this
is gonna pay more at taxes. Taxes will go up,
the fees will go up, the fines will go up,
and everyone just keeps paying it. Number two, there's a

(18:08):
way so take everything away that'll get rid of fifty
percent of them, And I'm going to tell you how
to get rid of the other fifty Make it a
federal crime to give any one of them a job.
That's how to get rid of the other half.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
In other words, you're saying, don't just deport him, hit
him on the on the other side, on the employment
side as well. Correct, Ray, that's correct.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
Make it a federal crime, make it a felony.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Ray.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Before I let you I agree with you completely, Ray, Ray,
Before I let you go. You know, you say, you know,
I haven't been here long enough. You know you got
to be here decades and decades and decades. Uh, what
is it about Massachusetts?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (18:52):
No, really, seriously, what is it? They just the political
culture is so left, so entrenched, so unmovable, that they
just blindly vote for the Democrats, no matter how much
they're screwing you, they just keep voting for them. Really, honestly, Ray,

(19:17):
what is it? What do you think accounts for it?

Speaker 6 (19:20):
Okay, See when I said you haven't been around long enough,
I'm a victim of it too. In my house, every
room had a picture of a Kennedy. My family was
brainwashed too. They just pound this in them every station
four or five, seven, and then CNN and MSNBC came along.
I have some very smart friends that just have no

(19:40):
common sense. It doesn't matter what you show them.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Interesting. Interesting, Ray, thank you for that call. And by
the way, you're right, No, really you are, You're right.
Six one. I've met many of that like that. Like, Yeah,
there's a very nice woman, a good friend of ours,
smart woman, nice woman, kind woman. She used to take
care of our kids, you know, kind of a mini daycare,

(20:07):
and just blind loyalty to the Democratic Party. I have
never seen anything like it. And it goes back to
the Kennedys. She was reared on the Kennedys and she
just can't get it out of her head. Six one,
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. George in Berkeley.
Thanks for holding, George, and welcome. Good morning, Jeff, Hi George,

(20:30):
I'm good.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
How are you good? Good? So, I just wanted to
make a comment on the Jerry Manning. I was a
selectman in my town for thirteen years and Trump won
all three times, about sixty forty. Most of the surrounding
towns as well. But you know, Berkeley is part of
the same congressional district as Brookline.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
You know, are you in the fourth Yeah, you're in
my district, sane, Yeah, George, you're in my district.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
I know, and it's absolutely crazy. We have Berkeley, Freetown,
died In Lakeville, middlebur or Rehoboth, all pretty conservative towns.
In fact, in Berkeley we have one of the very
few state senators and one who just got elected recently
and one of the very few state representatives that are
both Republicans. Yet we have no representation at all in

(21:22):
our congressional district. This guy, Auchenclass, he called me begging
for support when he was first running, and I listened
to him and I told him I was a big
Trump supporter, and he was civil on the telephone. But
this guy doesn't represent us in any way, shape or form.
And to make matters worse, you know, on a local level,
we were always conservative and now we have you know,

(21:42):
new selectmen after I left that they're extremely like liberal.
I'm talking about far file left liberal, and they're profoundly
trying to change our town, especially with this MBTA housing
crisis and all this garbage that they're forcing down everybody's throats.
But when I hear Healley talk about, you know, about
how unfair it is, you know, with respect to what
Texas is doing, and it almost makes my head exploded.

(22:04):
It's like, what are you talking about. These towns in
Massachusetts that are conservative, hard working, blue collar mostly workers
have absolutely no representation congressionally and very little if any
on the state level. So and the GOP, as you
said many times, they're garbage in Massachusetts, are not doing
anything about it. I ran for state rep back in

(22:24):
the early nineties against Ron Mariano, the Speaker of the House,
when I was in my twenties out of Quincy. That
guy that before, and he's been in it forever. He
is a war chest about five hundred thousand. I think
he's faced one opponent since the early nineties. They're just
so entrenched. As Ray was just speaking, you know, I
have to I have to regrectfully say I agree with him.
You could have the best candidate in the world run

(22:45):
against Healy, and the brainwash people of this state will
vote for her again. And it boggles the mind because
it's so much against virtually everybody's interests. Accept a very
small percentage of the special interest but they will keep
doing it over and over. I toyed do the idea
of trying to run for Congress, but I couldn't win
in a million years. I couldn't win in a million,

(23:07):
you know, And you.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Just to add, I can only add to what you're saying,
because you're a thousand percent correct, George. Look and see
that's what I mean. They take conservative towns like yours.
I wouldn't say mine is Concer. It's fifty to fifty,
literally fifty to fifty, but whatever, a purple town like mine,
and they lump them in with Brookline and Newton and
these other huge Democratic strongholds. So it wipes away the

(23:32):
conservative vote, so we don't get any congressional representation, but
it keeps guaranteeing that Democrats keep winning. And that's how
they've jerry mandered the state nine zero and you know,
and she's going to go out and complain about taxes
