Trump's Economic Wins

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner country. Okay, my friends, just a few
hours ago, the House of Representatives passed the bill that
was also passed the day before in the Senate, the
Recisions Package that Trump promised he would muscle through Congress,

(00:23):
and they did just in time. They had a Friday
deadline later today, and both the Senate and the House,
under Trump's prodding and leadership, have now delivered nine billion dollars.
It is a spending cut, so called Recisions Package, that
now will completely cut spending to the United States International

(00:49):
Agency for Development USAID. All of that foreign aid is
now gone, PBS, NPR, their funding has now been cut
completely for the next two years gone, So nine billion
dollars in total in real spending cuts as the as

(01:14):
many papers have pointed out, this is the first time
in over twenty five years that there's actually been a
spending cut enacted by Congress, a true recisions package, not
the usual slowing the growth of spending, but actually cutting something.

(01:38):
And look, it was pretty obvious by going after USAID,
which was the Democrats's private slush fund in which they
use to bribe the media to send money to their
favorite NGOs so they could continue to have open borders

(01:59):
and resell settle this country with illegal aliens, and of
course paying for transgender sex change operations, say in places
like Columbia, or a pushing for DEI in Serbia and

(02:19):
places all over the world. This was how the swamp
a was able to buy off and control the media
and b use money to subvert and control countries around
the world. That pot of cash, that massive slush fund,

(02:41):
is now gone. As for NPR and PBS, look, they
say they can survive without taxpayer dollars. They've been claiming
now for years that they're so profitable on their own,
that they're generating all of this money from donation, from revenue,

(03:02):
from support from viewers. Well, and that taxpayer dollars are
just a drop in the bucket. Well, if that's the case,
then you should have no problem with this. Instead of
course NPR and PBS, we're acting like the sky is
falling now. The question that they can't answer is these

(03:23):
are both very far left media operations, so not even
media this has They are left wing propagandists. So they're
not interested in being nonpartisan, in being objective, which is
what they should be. Remember it is National Public Radio

(03:45):
NPR PBS. It is the public broadcasting service. It is
supposed to be for all Americans of whatever political persuasion
or stripe. And that's why you're receiving taxpayer money instead.
For decade after decade after decade, not only have they

(04:08):
been Democrat partisans, but they have been on the hard
socialist left, pushing anti Americanism, hatred for this country, hatred
for Conservatives, Republicans, the family, you name it, across the board.
And so now finally the reckoning came. And why should I,

(04:31):
as a conservative, why should you, as Trump supporters, have
your taxpayer dollars go to fund a far left wing
propaganda operation in the name of quote unquote public broadcasting.
So no, they don't deserve and they shouldn't get our

(04:53):
taxpayer money. Trump. Many Republicans have talked about it for
decades to cut funding to NPR and cut off the
money the flow to NPR and PBS. Trump is delivered.
Many Republicans and conservatives have said it's time to cut
foreign aid. Trump has delivered. So this is it's not,

(05:17):
you know, nine billion in the larger scope of things,
is you know, a drop in the ocean. I understand
it's a seven trillion dollar budget. But it's an important
step in the right direction. It may be a small step,
but it's an important step. Now. The reason why this again,

(05:39):
victory after victory after victory, The reason why the left
is freaking out, and I mean they are losing their
minds over this, is because not only is NPR and
PBS now going to be in big trouble, so part
of their media apparatus, their propaganda, state run media apparatus,

(06:04):
just took a major blow. But it cuts off their
ability now to bribe and redirect funds to prop up
the New York Times, CNN, other Reuters, other media outlets
that were receiving USAID money. So the swamp now has

(06:25):
seen its power diminished substantially overall with this shows and
as I was going to talk about this yesterday, but
of course the whole, the whole Epstein scandal flared up again.
But there's no question if you just stand back objectively,

(06:47):
Trump is clearly on a roll. Trump is achieving and
has racked up some historic achievements, whether it is on
the border, whether it's with Iran, whether it's in foreign policy,
whether it's with energy, whether you can run down the
women in sports. He has broken to the University of Pennsylvania.

(07:12):
He is breaking Havid over anti Semitism. What you're seeing
is accomplishment after accomplishment after accomplishment. And this recisions package,
which is now going to go right to his desk
for him to sign, comes on the heels of the
big beautiful bill. What Now, there's a poll out and

(07:38):
I think this explains not everything, but it explains a lot.
That even in the midst of the Epstein uproar, you
would think Trump's poll numbers would be dropping like a stone. No,
Trump's poll numbers are in fact going up amidst Epstein scandal,

(08:01):
not going down. They're going up. And I believe, and
you may disagree with me, but this is what I
wanted to do on yesterday's show, which is to talk
about Trump's, to me, I think, to tremendous handling of
the economy. One of the reasons why his approval ratings

(08:22):
are getting, you know, are going up and they continue
to go up, and why so many are giving him
high marks is because, yes, he's done a phenomenal job
on the border. Yes they agree with his deportations, but
the American public now are starting to feel that we

(08:45):
are in the midst of a booming, roaring economy, and
he's doing a great job on the economy if you
just stand back objectively. He has tamed inflation. Inflation now
is essentially dead. He has lowered gas prices. I talked

(09:07):
about this yesterday. A little bit I can tell you.
I mean, I know in my area regular I put
regular in my car two ninety nine, it's under three
bucks when I tank up. It's about fifty fifty two
bucks now to tank up my car under Joey it

(09:28):
was eighty dollars seventy eight, seventy six, seventy nine that range.
I am saving at least twenty five dollars a week
every time I tank up my car. I mean, you
just do the math. That's one hundred dollars a month.
That's one thousand, four hundred dollars, sorry, a thousand, two

(09:50):
hundred dollars a year. I mean it adds up. You know,
it's not peanuts. He's now brought in true millions of
dollars in foreign investment. He's now unleashed a manufacturing renaissance
here in the United States. He has won the trade

(10:11):
war with China. Everybody said it couldn't be done. He's
done it. He has slashed the budget deficit by a
third a third, and in the Big Beautiful Bill, he
has delivered the biggest tax cut in US history. So

(10:32):
you look at what Trump has accomplished, and this is
in just six months. It is absolutely incredible. And I
believe the economy is only going to get stronger and
stronger and stronger. And so my question to you, and
I really want this to be a caller driven show

(10:53):
today because you're the ones that can really answer this.
Are you the benefits of the Trump economy? Okay, a
couple lines are open. Once the lines are full, cooner
Man's gonna unleash the hounds. I would like to ask
all of you, the great audience of Kooner Country, are

(11:14):
you feeling the benefits of the Trump economy? Yes or no?
Whether it's paying your bills, whether it's when you go
grocery shopping, whether it's going out to eat or whatever
it is, or you're tanking up you know, at your
local gas station. Is the economy getting better for you?

(11:38):
Because if you look at what's at least the statistics,
if you look at the data, the numbers, there's no question,
absolutely no question, that the economy now is getting better
and better and better. Remember just three months ago, they
all said the sky was falling. That when Trump announced

(12:00):
Liberation Day on the tariffs, they said this was going
to spark a recession, maybe even a great depression, That
it was going to lead to a crash in the
stock market, that it was the end is nigh, that
this was going to be economic armageddon. And instead stock
market now all time high. It's never been higher, and

(12:25):
I think it's going to continue to keep going up
and up and up. He's now cutting trade deals. He
just did a big deal with Great Britain. He's done
a deal with Vietnam and Indonesia, and of course he
has now broken China in that trade war. He has
won the trade war with China. Revenue from customs is

(12:48):
now pouring into the treasury over twenty five billion dollars
a month billion with the b So we're going to
get about two hundred and five fifty billion dollars more
in the budget because of Trump's tariffs. So manufacturing now

(13:10):
is booming. You just had in Pennsylvania another big deal
announced by Trump, Artificial intelligence, new technology ninety two billion
dollar investment. Pennsylvania is going to be at the hub,
the very center of the AI new technology revolution. Nearly

(13:32):
ten trillion dollars in foreign investment pouring into our country. Factories,
plants are being built everywhere. As I mentioned, the budget
deficit is now being cut by a third. You have
the big beautiful bill, no taxes on tips, no taxes

(13:55):
on overtime. You've got the biggest tax cut in history.
Go on and on and on. Now I can just
say this because this is where Grace and I slightly disagree.
I believe now we are starting to enter just the
beginning of Trump's golden age. I do the shopping in

(14:19):
the house. Prices could be lower, I agree, But eggs
are way down. Eggs under Biden went up over two
hundred and twenty percent. Under Trump, they have gone down
sixty nine percent. I'm I'm able now to get eggs
at about three dollars three fifty maybe even four, you know,

(14:42):
four bucks, but more like three fifty three dollars for
twelve eggs. Under Biden it was practically double. So I
see the price of eggs. They're coming down. Meat, it's
starting to It's still high, but it's starting to come down.
Fruits and vegetables, they're starting to taper down. Look what's

(15:05):
happened is they're not going up, and the prices at
least when I shop, have stabilized. For for some things.
I'm starting to notice a little here, a little there,
prices are starting to slowly come down. I mention when
I tank up, I clearly see the difference. Now I'd
like it to be, you know, a buck eighty nine

(15:27):
a gallon, like we had under Trump in his first term.
I'm still paying almost three dollars a gallon. I think
I was like maybe thirty eight or thirty six dollars
he would cost me to tank up under Trump in
his first term. You know, I'm about fifty now fifty
two dollars, but it's not eighty as it was under Biden.

(15:48):
So I feel it every time I tank up my car. Now.
Grace disagrees. She says the tariffs are now causing a
little bit of inflation. She works in the housing she's
a real estate agent, so she says the housing market
is dead. People are not buying homes, they're not selling homes.

(16:09):
To me, that's because of Jerome Powell. I think Trump
should fire him. I think he has the right to
fire him. I think he should fire him. I think
what's killing the housing market is not the tariffs. I
believe it's the high interest rates. They're way too high,
absurdly too high, and they're they're they're they're they're they're
like they're suffocating the economy, at least in the housing sector.

(16:33):
So you know, if Powell should be cutting rates and
cutting rates substantially, and so I think he's trying to
sabotage the Trump economy. Okay, but that's me. But Gray
says the housing market's not moving. She says she's not
seeing the differences in prices going down when we go shopping.

(16:55):
We got ourselves a membership at Costco. This is maybe
about two months ago, and Grace says, the only reason
why I'm seeing prices go down is because now we're
shopping at Costco, which you know, you buy in bulk,
but you get good deals. She says, No, it's the
Costco effect. That's what I'm She says, that's what you're
not seeing. She agrees gas prices are a little bit down,

(17:19):
but she said I wanted more and I expected more,
So according to her, she says, I we're not feeling it.
She says, what Greek, Jeff, what economic Golden Age? Things
aren't worse. Things would have been much worse with Biden
and Kamala, according to Grace, But she said so far,

(17:41):
she claims she's not feeling the Trump economy. I am,
I want to hear from you. Six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Are
your bills getting lower? Are your way is going up?

(18:02):
Are you feeling lower prices at the gas pomp when
you buy food groceries, when you go out to eat.
Is your standard of living starting to get better under Trump?
Or has not much changed? Six seven two six six
sixty eight sixty eight is the number. You can also

(18:22):
text the cooner man seven zero four seven zero seven
zero four seven zero. This is from six to three.
And honestly, the biggest complaint I'm getting. I mean, I
notice it as well, obviously, and Grace tells me about
this every night. But I mean, from the audience, from
this great audience about the economy is the housing market.

(18:44):
A the rental market, which is way too high, but
the housing market, how so many homes are preposterously expensive.
So this is from six to oh three, Jeff. In
the housing market, it's not just the interest rates that
are affecting buying. Have you seen the ridiculous prices they're

(19:05):
asking for houses. A place that should run two hundred
to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is going for
four hundred to four hundred and fifty thousand. They've literally
priced potential buyers right out of the market by doubling
the cost. So buying has cooled off. You see, I

(19:27):
could tell that's a New Hampshire text, not just by
the area code, but by the prices. A home that
should cost you two hundred and fifty thousand they're charging
for four hundred or four hundred and fifty thousand. Sandy,
what is two fifty get you here in Massachusetts? Hell?

(19:48):
What is four fifty get you here in Massachusetts today? No,
I'm not talking twenty thirty years ago, but today? What
a shock? You know? I mean, obviously it depends where
you live, but in many areas six' oh three you're
looking at seven, hundred eight, hundred nine hundred thousand a million.

(20:10):
Easy in so many parts Of, massachusetts it's it's. Insane, yeah, Yeah,
sandy says in my. Ear you, know Through, mike you
know four hundred thousand may get you a box under
a bridge here In. Boston you know you're you're with
the homeless people with four hundred. Thousand let me just

(20:34):
do one more and Then i'm going to go to
the phone lines six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty. Eight this is From nancy on, Messenger, JEFF
i do feel some relief on prices at the grocery,
store and WHEN i fill up my, car the only,
bill and this is very, true the only bill that's

(20:56):
not going down is my electric. Bill same thing with.
Me that's my biggest complaint every freaking month is that
energy slash electric. Bill but let that. Go the only
bill that's not going down is my electric. Bill SO
i have to disagree With. GRACE i think in another
six months this country will be booming and then we

(21:20):
will all be saving. Money And Jerome powell has to.
Go we must get interest rates. Down the housing market is.
STAGNANT i agree with, You, nancy right across the, board
every single. Point get rid Of. Powell if we just
get rid of him and start cutting interest rates, already

(21:43):
you're going to feel the housing market start to really pick.
Up six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty
Eight scott In New. Hampshire thanks for Holding scott and.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
WELCOME i LOVE i love your. SHOW i love listening to.
YOU i listened to you all the. TIME i have
TO i have to be On grace's side right. Now
and let me preface that by, Saying i've been in
the construction market for forty. Years i've seen, many you, know, recessions,
booms Bus i've seen it. All and What grace has

(22:22):
put her finger on, is, yes the construction houses are,
down but also building, warehouses building, schools building police, stations
industrial buildings is also. Down, Okay and and and there's
a real good reason for. That the, developers the people

(22:45):
who actually want to start a new warehouse or a,
school they're in a state of. Flux and the reason
they're in a state of flux is because they're they're
Very the banks are very hesitant to lend them the
money because the interest. Rates look at it like, This,

(23:07):
jeff if you're gonna build a ten million dollar project
and you're being, told, well the interest rates are gonna
come down a little, bit you, know if you to
apply for a construction. Loan if you if, you if
you just Say, JESUS i can just hold, off you,

(23:28):
know a quarter or a half percent. Interest you know
how much money that's gonna save me over. Time that's
that's one reason that developers are hanging holding off is
the interest. Rates the other thing is there's a big
sense of caution with the. Terraffs just the terraffs people
are holding. Back there's a sense of caution out. There

(23:51):
And i'll explain it to you one more one more, Way.
Jeff when when a when a project goes out forbidding
a year, ago And i've seen, this AND i always
ask the developersiness and the construction general construction, MANAGERS i
say house, Business and a year ago they, said, Well

(24:13):
i'm pretty, busy you, know and they're hesitant to get
any more bid any more jobs because they're quite. Busy
they're booked for the. Year so most projects have two
or three. BIDDERS i talk to those same people this
year and they're bidding much more because they're not booked

(24:35):
with construction. Projects and now it's more competitive and they
have six or seven bidders on that same. Job what
does that tell you it tells you there's not as
much work going.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
On And, scott you're saying that you think a lot
of it HAS i, mean interest rates are too high
and they sense they're going to come. Down so if
you were, saying let me, wait because it's going to
save me a lot of. Money so that's freezing some,
ACTIVITY i hear. You but you're saying a lot of
it has to do with the tariffs because it's causing

(25:08):
uncertainty and people fear that it could lead to price,
increases so they're, saying let me hold, on let me, wait, correct.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Correct let me let me just talk to you about
one little. Thing, Okay so if you're going to bit
a job and you're an, electrician electricians have miles and
miles of copper just to bit a. Job IF i
did a job AND i and my copper, WIRE i

(25:41):
bid it for ten thousand dollars for the, job and
then the project gets developed and in six months it.
Starts now that same copper could be thirty thousand, Dollars
so there's also that sense of.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Caution, Interesting, scott do you, think let me just ask you,
this do you Think trump made a mistake in imposing the,
tariffs or do you think the mistake is he hasn't
settled on a. Number in other, words he's doing different
deals with different. Countries the negotiations are dragging. On he

(26:16):
pushed a deadline back again To. August in other, words
is it a tariff itself or is it just the
uncertainty because it's different tariffs for different countries and they
haven't settled on a number yet because he's still.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Negotiating these negotiations are taking way too, long you, know
it's just dragging out the uncertainty and it's holding off
more projects. Longer he's got to get this thing, done you,
know one way or the, other so businesses can actually

(26:50):
plot their clus coming, forward but they can't right now
because we're in a state of. Flux.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Interesting, Interesting, scott really really informative. Call, Scott thank you
very much for that. Call so, there, yeh you, KNOW
I trump's people are, listening you, KNOW i, mean here's
a business, guy a construction, guy contractor saying it's not
even the tariffs you, know whatever go ten percent across

(27:17):
the board or twenty percent or twenty five. Percent. Okay
really it's. Remarkable it really is. Remarkable President trump's approval
rating goes up during The epstein. Uproar the latest batch
of polls Shows trump is actually getting even more, popular

(27:38):
and there's a lot of reasons for. That he's had many, successes,
obviously but many people are saying when they Pull, americans
they're Starting, many not, all but many are, Saying i'm
starting to feel better in my. Pocketbook many are saying
their wages are starting to go, Up prices at the
grocery store elsewhere coming, down gas coming. Down they feel

(28:03):
inflation now is slowly being, tamed and they feel now
that things are starting to turn a. Corner how is

heather In. Rockland thanks for Holding, heather and.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Welcome Hi, jeffrey thank you for taking my. Call so
an answer to your poll, QUESTION i, START i feel
like things are definitely starting to get. Better it's not
quite where it needs to, be but then remember he's
only been in office for six. Months In rome wasn't
built in a, day so BUT i feel like it's

(29:54):
definitely moving in the pot the direction it needs to.
Go and the other THING i wanted to say is
about the. Housing the, HOUSE i, mean especially around. HERE
i think it's more so more because the prices are
so not, more BUT i think a lot of the

(30:15):
reason about what the housing. Is the prices are just really,
ridiculously it's. Absurd although in some areas Like, FLORIDA i know.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Prices are starting to go.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Down because my mother we're selling our house and my
mother is moving To, florida so and the housing has
gone down and is going down In florida, then and
our real realtor said that the housing is going to
start the prices are going to start going down a little.
Bit it's going to be stopped being more of a

(30:47):
SELLER i mean that buyer's, market BUT i mean it's
still kind of a seller's, market she, said but it's
going to be a buyer's. MARKET i really don't know
how people can afford buying houses around here with.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
You, You, heather it's funny you should mention. This last,
night just last, NIGHT i was talking To, grace you,
know about the housing, market and she was, Saying florida
prices are dropping like a Stone Port Saint. Lucy if
your mom's looking for a House Port Saint, lucy you
can get a beautiful home three, hundred three hundred and fifty.

(31:21):
Thousand and the reason is a lot of second homes
are In. Florida people can't afford a second home right,
now and they're worried, about you, know the high cost
of insurance near these flooding, areas so people are leaving
and for whatever. Reason And Port Saint lucy is not
in a hurricane, zone But Fort Saint lucy you can

(31:42):
get them for a. Steal. Arizona prices are dropping like.
Crazy Las. Vegas you can snatch up now a really
good deal In Las. Vegas so in those Pockets, nevada
Especially Las, Vegas, arizona where a lot of people will,
Retire florida, obviously where a lot of people retire for whatever,

(32:04):
reason now the housing market is seeing a massive drop
in prices. Here, Look, heather, Like i'm in the, Confessional,
Okay i'm telling you my house is nothing. IMPRESSIVE i
MEAN i live in a you, know okay. Neighborhood you,
know rent them is a nice. Community BUT i don't
live in SOME i don't, know gold plated. Mansion believe.

(32:26):
Me we bought our house thirteen years, ago just under
five hundred thousand, dollars and it wasn't. Completed the basement
still had to be, finished the attic had to be you,
know that wasn't completely. Done so we even lived in
our house for about six months as it was still being. Finished,

(32:49):
now according To, grace is what she tells, me we
could fetch a million. Dollars and my reaction to her,
was who'd pay a million dollars for? THIS i mean it's,
nice it's a nice. Home i'm not saying it's a,
shock But i'm telling you it's not worth a million.
Dollars it's not even worth close to a million. Dollars
and that's what homes now we're going. For it's it's

(33:13):
insane And i'm, like who can afford this? Anyway? Heather
final word to. You let me ask you, This. Heather
if you had to go home buying, now and you,
were let's, say in your, twenties you, know you're looking
for a first, home, whatever could you afford these?

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Prices it's a good question you.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
ASKED i say this all the time my oldest. NEPHEW
i have three. Nephews my oldest is twenty. FIVE i
say to my sister all the, time and he you,
know he lives In boston and, stuff and you, know he's,
working doing his. THING i say to them all. THIS
i say to my sister, him why is he still In.
Massachusetts i'm, like why doesn't he move out of the.
State i'm, like this state is too freaking expensive for these. Kids,

(33:56):

to be able to buy a.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
House.

NO i, Mean i'm moving in with my fiance and
he has a really nice, house and and but we
could get. Double we're we're getting pretty much almost double
for this. House, well you know then when we bought,
it AND i don't LIKE i like you, SAID i
don't think it's like. ANYTHING i, mean it's a it's
a nice, house you. Know don't don't get me, wrong
BUT i don't think it's you know WHAT i.

Speaker 1 (34:22):

thousand one point one one point. Two i'm, like what,

(34:42):
again not a bad, house a nice. House it's not
a million dollar, home not even. Clothes so prices are
going to have to come. Down it's just who can
who can keep paying? This six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight is the. Number let me
add just a very quick log on the. Fire if

(35:06):
there's anything you Think trump needs to work. On if
you were to, say you, Know, jeff gas prices like
them coming down. Good maybe groceries as well where you
live coming down. Good is there any part of your personal,
finances your standard of living that you Think trump should

(35:29):
work on or try to. Improve to, me it's my energy.
Bill that's the one. Thing it just keeps going, up
my utility energy electric. Bill it's. Insane it's absolutely. Insane
that's the one thing it's not going down. Now in many,
ways there's nothing he can do about, it because this

(35:52):
is all mora heally and this net zero push that they,
have this insane that zero, push that zero carbon, push
and so they're trying to put you, know more, solar more,
wind more of these so called, renewables which are extremely
inefficient and very. Expensive so they're deliberately now trying to

(36:14):
raise the price of energy in this. State so in,
sense there's a little That trump can. Do But i'm
just telling you that's the One achilles heel these. Are
my national grid bill is. Insane it's just it's just
like you're gonna you, know, really it's just you're gonna
force me out of the state if. Discontinues nobody can

(36:35):
keep paying this month after month after. Month, agree disagree
six one seven two six six sixty. Eight sixty eight
is the NUMBER cj In. Boston thanks for HOLDING cj
and welcome, yees you.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
Know and it's great for gasoline to go down and
for avocados to go. Down BUT i don't think that's
what's Concerning. Americans americans feel once again the pride That
america once had taken away from taking away From americans
by The obamas and The Joe, bidens Where obama gave
the The iranians the capability of getting the bomb delivered

(37:15):
to the delivered down one hundred and fifty dollars one
hundred and fifty billion dollars on a. Pallet joe letting
in millions and millions of illegals taking, jobs murdering and
rating our. Citizens that's what people are concerned. About they're
not concerned about the almighty, dollar although that is a
concern here our. Economy let's get onto the. Tariffs the

(37:35):
month before the tarriffs were imposed The United, states that
CAN i don't have billion dollars in. Tariffs the month
after When President trump imposed imposed the, tariffs it was
sixteen and a half million. Dollars what he needs to
do is to get rid Of, POWELL a lot of
these homes in The city Of boston that we're listed
are being pulled off the market because.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
There are no.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Bias nobody's going to buy house at nearly seven nearly seven.
Percent infrastrating The city Of. Boston last week report on
real estate And Metropolitan, boston the average cost of a
home in metropolitan In boston was over one million. Dollars
and what city officials need to, recognize And i've been

(38:21):
trying to point out the, years if you take major
cities such As, Springfield, Boston, worcester when you go up on,
taxes your insurance automatically goes up on. Taxes and if
you own a two or three or four family, house
what these elected officials are doing is actually raising the

(38:42):
cost of rent and raising the cost of leases to
these poor people who were stuck into this ever. Source
let's get on to ever. Source you want to know
why your bill IS o. HI i have been on
this for about six. Months channel five Investigator Ben, semon
who did it an outstanding job and exposing most of what's.

(39:04):
Happened BUT i have sent him two emails to expose
what the true problem of every source Of national grid.
Is and that's the mass spare share. Program and for
people unfamiliar with, that the legislature passed the bill in
which you pay a certain amount of money to take
advantage of certain this certain program in order to get heat,

(39:25):
pumps new. Boilers uh uh and insulation around your your,
say your hot water. Heater here's the big problem with
this mass say. Program it's. Discriminatory no, renter no leaser
can improve a house is energy efficiency without the express

(39:47):
consent of the owner of the. Property this bill is
was highly. Discriminatory it needs to be. Repealed and, UH
i guess the big news of the day is The
Donald trump ump has ordered Tam bondi to go to
the courts to see what can bill be released on
the on The epstein. File and IF i just may

(40:09):
make a quick point on your show yesterday On. Epstein
When epstein was arrested In, florida they did not federally
prosecute him where it was that he was a government.
Asset so if he was a government, asset the question
needs to be, asked did they want to hold back
information because our own government was involved in this setup

(40:34):
to to extort money for people or or to use
them for their political views.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Well, YEAH i, MEAN i, MEAN i hear. YOU i
JUST i want to stay focused on the economy because
we've Done epstein quite a. Bit but, no the sheriff
who was part of the plea, deal who Arrested epstein
came out and, said, NO i was told by very you,
know people high, up so easy On. Epstein he's quote
an intelligence, asset and you know he's got no reason to.

(41:05):
Lie so that's WHY i, say come, on don't tell
me this guy was IN cia or maybe Even massade
or who. Knows AND i did see that story as.
WELL i think it's a very good. Development it Shows
trump is listening to his, bass and you, know, hopefully palm,
bound he's going to release some. Information he, says he
wants it to be. Credible he doesn't want to, have you,

(41:27):
know just accusations being thrown around or people's reputations being
destroyed with no evidence. Whatsoever so hopefully we'll see a
little bit of action on that. Front but, LOOK cj
to me AND i hear you to, me what is remarkable,
is even though it's a bit of a family, feud you,
know a bit of family, drama he's taken a lot

(41:48):
of blowback from many of his most diehard, supporters but
his numbers continue to go, up AND i think that's
a testament to just how successful he's been the last six.
Months AND i think part of, it it's not all of,
it BUT i think a good part of it is
people are starting to feel it a little. Bit things

(42:08):
are getting better on the economy and in their own personal.
Lives AND i, KNOW, I i mean, AGAIN i feel.
It not you, Know i'm not Saying i'm living high
on the, hog BUT i clearly feel. It things are getting.
Better and my sense is once he can nail down
these trade deals and really get stability with these, TARIFFS

(42:30):
i think the sky's the. Limit especially if you can
get rid of your Own powell and start cutting interest,
RATES i think you're going to see this thing just absolutely.
Boom so fingers. Crossed But trump right, now he's on the.
Brink he's on the brink of maybe an unprecedented economic,
expansion and with that riding into the, midterms he's going

(42:52):
to slaughter The democrats six to. One thank you for that,
CALL cj six one seven two six six six sixty.
EIGHT i, mean that's why he's so frustrated With, powell
and he's. Right you, know you look At switzerland and
their inflation is very similar to. Ours their interest rates

(43:13):
now forget one percent literally zero point two five, percent
one quarter of one, percent and the other, COUNTRIES i,
mean you, know They're he's you, know And trump's, saying
so let me get this. Straight you've got our interest
rates how? HIGH i, mean it's just you, know you

(43:35):
won't lower rates while everybody's dropping, theirs and our inflation
is as, good or if not even less than what
other countries. Have you're trying to suffocate the. Economy you
don't want to see a housing boom because if the
housing market, booms the rest of the economy will. Follow

(43:59):
SO i THINK i think that's a big reason he's
got to get rid Of. Powell six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight is the. Number but,
ANYWAY i don't want to get into you, know policy.
Weeds but there's no question things are better than they
were Under, biden at least for, me and they're only

(44:21):
going to Get they're only going to continue to get.
Better agree Disagree six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty. Eight john In. Malden thanks for Holding john
and Welcome.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
Lord And. Jeff johnny. Morning prayers go out To President
trunk because on the news he's been having some troublesome
health health issues. Veins, yeah so that's another thing. TOO
ninek too is about epstein. FILES a couple of comments on.
That and something else is that it there is a,

(45:00):
list Which i'm sure there. Is President trump knows what
to do and he can use that to his. Advantage
and he's, gonna you, know make sure that that if
his girlfriend does go out and say something To, congress
makes it To congress at, least you, know she should
be well, protected you, know for her to get there

(45:20):
to say something and for and nothing to. Is i'm
not worry About epstein's files right. Now more thing is
If chicken Little, fauci if he has no, immunity go after,
him arrest him, definitely you, know, uh, criming crimeing against

(45:41):
humanity for what he. Did that that's one. Thing and
for the. Economy, jeff do you when you go shopping
do you take your kids with?

Speaker 2 (45:51):
You?

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Sometimes? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (45:54):
Sometimes, yeah that's the important, thing peace to. Kids because
my files.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Like that go and.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
SHOPPING i would go with. Him the important thing is
there's always you, know you always look for a better,
deal you, know even for somewhere else if you just you,
know even though if you go to the regular shopping
center that you usually go. To that's the important thing
is you look for, uh you, know go shopping and

(46:20):
you look for a, deal and you see what prices are,
what and you just go accordingly to what you, know
what you can. Afford and the first call Is, scott
he was right about that about the terrafts and all that,
stuff and the building materials and all that. That that's
one THING i want to bring out on. That it

(46:44):
depends on what's going on with the. Terrorists and he's
trying to swing deals with other, countries which is you,
know it's it's falling into place because they know that
he's got of got him on on the.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Terrace and that's that's the.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
Outlook what's going on right?

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Now, well you KNOW i, think, LOOK i, Think, john
you put your finger on. It IF i was Advising,
TRUMP i would say on the economic, FRONT i, SAID
i don't know how much more you can do really,
honestly you, Know that's WHAT i would tell. Him, look
interest rates are way too. High you're, Right powell is
killing you on. That you, KNOW i think you have

(47:24):
the right to fire. HIM i think you should fire.
Him even if you don't fire. Him powell's term is
coming to an end pretty, soon and he's going to
replace him with you, know he's got a couple of.
Candidates they're infinitely. Better so interest rates will come, down so,
eventually you, know we're really going to see rates be
what they should. Be my advice to him would be

(47:46):
focused like a laser beam on these deals and get
this tariff regime really set in. Place and that's because
that's creating uncertainty and a little bit of in stability
in the business. Community people are holding off on projects
or whatever it may, be on investments because they're waiting

(48:08):
for what the final price of so many things are
going to.

Speaker 5 (48:11):
Be.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
NOW i Know, trump he just look that deal he
just did With. INDONESIA i, MEAN i don't want to.
Crow you, know when you've out maneuvered your, adversary you shouldn't.
Crow but he took them to the. Cleaners So, indonesia
which they've never done, before is going to open up
their market completely to all of our, products zero percent,

(48:34):
tariff zero literally zero, zilch. Nothing we're going to be
tariffing them nineteen. PERCENT i mean IT'S i, mean he
killed Them, vietnam same, Thing Great. Britain he got a
great deal With Great. Britain so he wants to, get
as you, know the best deal possible with The European.

(48:56):
Union
