When Will Democrats Wake Up?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Add to the scourges the Blue States have brought upon us.
How about non English speaking illegal aliens who have commercial
truck licenses from the Blue States and who go out

(00:20):
and kill people like the one who killed three people
in Florida. Thank you Governor Newsom for that. Do you
think that this crash will wake up the Democrats, at
least in California and make them possibly reflect upon how
they approach illegal immigration, possibly making them think that there's
something more important than building up their power base and

(00:41):
normalizing the status of illegals. They don't seem to care
about the crash that happened. As I was just telling you,
Governor Newsom was spending his time trying to throw shade
for that on President Trump where it did not belong.
I mean, they completely lied about the Trump administration, giving
a work from it to mister Singing, he didn't, never did,

(01:02):
was rejected. For one, the person who did was President Biden,
and the person who the people who issued the commercial
license even though the guy failed the tests, was California.
But you know, they don't want to They don't want
to look in the mirror. Instead, they spend their time
obsessed by the ice raids, chipping away at their voter base.

(01:25):
You know, you had people like Jasmin Crockett and she's
not even from California, She's from Texas. She was on
Newsom's podcast and her whole thing is, you know, now,
aren't Ice. Aren't they just basically taxi drivers? Why are
they deporting people? I couldn't believe. It's just an example
to me of ignorance and the blinders and the woeful,

(01:51):
deliberate refusal to look at the illegal immigration issue. I
want to play the cut for you because people don't
believe me when I say that. She said that cut
number twenty seven. Please Mike, Ice.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
For the most part, is nothing but a ride. That's
all they were supposed to do for the most part. Right,
It's like, you know what, this person is undocumented, or
this person re enters the country illegally, all the things,
and then they have an Ice hold, and then Ice
gets them so that they need to send them out.
That's all Ice is supposed to do. Look at them
as a fancy uber driver for immigrants. That's all they're

(02:26):
supposed to do. And now they're running into places and
doing raids and they're falling all over each other, injuring
each other like we are a joke, but it is
a bad nightmare of a joke. And so I don't
think that this president has any limits that he won't
go to.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I don't think that there's any intelligence there whatsoever. I
mean that if she knows what she's saying is bizarre,
then she's evil. Otherwise she's just ignorant if she actually
thinks that that is what ICE's job is or what
ICE should be doing. She doesn't want to look at
the damage caused by illegal aliens, like what happened in Florida,

(03:07):
or like the wholesale crime that's happened from wholesale uncontrolled immigration. Instead,
you know, she just wants to call other people evil.
And this is the problem across the board with the
Democratic Party and in particular California under Newsom. In Los
Angeles she had Mayor Karen Bass demanding that ICE end

(03:32):
all of it's raised on work sites. She says that
fruit stands and car washes. She posted this Twitter or
this on X that ICE raids at fruit stands and
car washes must end because they're un American, and declaring
that she will never accept these tactics as normal. What

(03:53):
she's referencing is there was an ICE raid that arrested
an illegal alien named Claudia raised vass Squez during an
operation at a car wash in Orange County, which is
right outside of LA And he was one of the
worst of the worst. You know, he was arrested for
loud and lusuvius acts with a child under fourteen, and
there was an active federal warrant for his arrest after

(04:15):
he violated his probation. He had a criminal record going
back to nineteen ninety having been convicted of molesting a child,
beating a spouse, DUIs battery, patty theft. Never mind just
being here illegally. That's who she's defending. That's who she's defending.
You know, she doesn't reference the fact that, you know,
maybe if they cracked down on illegals, you wouldn't have

(04:37):
had an illegal CDL driver killing people in Florida she's defending.
Just my head explodes when I think about it. And
down in Florida you've got Congress from W. Wasserman Schultz
and she is bull bleep with both Ron DeSantis and

(04:57):
President Trump because of al Gator Alcatraz. Alligator Alcatraz, which
is the detention center that was put up in the
Florida Everglades by the state of Florida with assist from
the federal government. And part of it is a deterrence
so that if you don't want to go to Alligator Alcatraz,
maybe you should self deport and then you can apply

(05:20):
to come back in. That's how it is supposed to work.
But w Wasserman Schultz says, this is not about the
immigration problem. Wasserman Schultz seems to believe that this is racist,
that deporting people is a racist thing to do, and
she went on CNN to say, so cut thirty nine.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Please all the maga Republicans that ron the census care
about is the abuse of human rights because I mean,
they have declared war on people of color, whether it's
an education, the erasure of their history with the efforts
to whitewash the history of in this most Smithsonian museums,

(06:07):
rounding up people with masked ice attain the detention center
employees and kidnapping them, not giving them access to council.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
I she just takes my breath away. That is such
a misrepresentation of what is happening. And it's all about
political power gain she doesn't care actually about the people.
She doesn't care about the people of Florida. Does she
talk about how horrible it is for that accident have
happened on Florida roads because of a California Blue policy

(06:42):
that gave an illegal alien, non speaking English alien a
commercial driver's license. No, we must close Alligator Alcatraz because
it's actually assisting in deporting people. Florida Congresswoman Debbie wasser
Mischul says it is racist to hold illegals in Alligator
Alcatraz and to deport them. Governor DeSantis said, you know,

(07:07):
really cut forty b please.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She's for open borders. She does not
want any enforcement of immigration law. And she says if
you just simply remove illegal aliens who've already been ordered
to be removed through our system, that that's somehow a
human rights violation. So these folks are telling us who
they are, and they are people that do not put

(07:34):
the American people first?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Is he right? Do they not put American people first?
Are they putting their own power base? They're hoping that
illegals vote for them, so therefore that's why they're protecting them.
A federal judge last week ordered diclosure of Alligator Alcatraz
within two months, within sixty days, and ruled that no
more detainees were to be brought to the facility while

(07:57):
they were winding it down. It was pretty much of
a shock, a shock ruling. It was a district court judge, Yes, indeed,
Kathleen Williams, and she was building on a temporary restraining
order that she issued two weeks before. Eighty two page order.
She put out eighty two pages, and this is the

(08:17):
Southern District of Florida, and the reason why she's closing
it really has nothing to do with legal aliens. That's
the excuse or that's the effect. What the excuse was.
The reason why she closed it is why she's saying
it's causing severe interrreparable damage to the Florida Everglades. And
she said that a plan to develop the site in

(08:38):
which the jail was built for a big airport was
rejected the nineteen sixties because the kar harm it would
have caused the ecosystem and that no further construction at
this site can take place. And that's basically what her
order says. But that's you know, that's a little disingenuine.

(09:00):
Florida isn't just going to say sure, find no problem.
Ron DeSantis's office has said that a President Trump's deportation
plan for that area for Alligator Alcatraz will continue as planned,
And they basically have said that the ruling from the
judge ignores the fact that the land has already been

(09:21):
developed for a decade since the nineteen sixties, and this
is just another attempt to prevent President Trump fulfilling the
mandate to remove the worst of the worst, you know,
gang members, murderers, pedophiles, terrorists, you know, rapists from the country.
And uh, President and President Governor DeSantis got up and

(09:44):
out and this is what he had to say regarding Alcatraz,
Alligator Alcatraz Cut twenty six, Please mike.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
Down in South Florida, Alligator Alcatraz. I just wanted to
just say, this was not something that was unexpected did.
This is a judge that was not going to give
us a fair shake. This was preordained, very much an
activist judge that is trying to do policy from the bench.
This is not going to deter us. We're going to

(10:14):
continue working on the deportations, advancing that mission. We knew
that this would be something that would likely happen, and
we will respond.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
So they're not rolling over, They're going to They're absolutely
positively fighting for Alligator Alcatraz, and it seems to me
that they are focusing on what they need to focus
on to make not just Florida safer, but the country safer,
as opposed to on the other side of the country,
where you have Governor Newsom who really doesn't care that

(10:47):
his state is licensing unqualified on English speaking illegal aliens
that are killing people in other states. So who do
you think has their finger on really what the American
people want here? Is it Governor news or is it
Governor Desantas. What do you think? Let's go to Harry

(11:08):
in Chelmsford. Harry, Welcome to WRKO.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
How are you, Harry, Good, Good morning?

Speaker 1 (11:13):
How are you today?

Speaker 7 (11:15):
I'm doing all right? Well, anyway, I just want to
chime in here. I haven't called in in a while,
glad to call in. I'm retired. I had some physical
stuff that happened to me. I had to retire early
forty five year journeyman electrician licensed and it took some
doing to do the exam. So there's some level of

(11:37):
smarts there. For me, my company bought a bucket truck,
a new bucket truck, and to drive it because I
had different brakes that didn't require CDL. I went and said, well,
that should be easy. Don't take the damn test. I'll
get the bookplet study a little and I'm telling you
that thing was hard and I plumped. Oh so for

(12:00):
these people to be driving on our roads without completing
that out of it is just blowing my mind here.
I mean, and before a truck leaves the yard, from
what I learned in that booklet, there's all these kind
of safety checks they gotta do. So they're just jumping

(12:21):
in the truck. You know what, I thought they were
drivers in their own country, because you can't just jump
in an eighteen wheeler and drive it. You gotta have experience.
And I heard that this morning.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
A little yeah, But I.

Speaker 7 (12:31):
Mean, it's back on the state. They got to be
held responsible, especially for the given the guy the license
that ended up down in Florida killing people. It's just
pitiful and all to make a political statement in the vote.
And you know, I'm sure somewhere along the line the
ones responsible get in their pockets greased somehow by checking

(12:53):
another box off saying I got another immigrant here and
I got them in the country doing something checked. They
probably get money back from that to pay for their lifestyle.
It's just I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it.
You know, I thought this was done, and you know,
obviously we're going to keep fighting these idiots.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
You know, it drives me crazy, Harry to hear you
know at Governor Newsom's people try to put this off
on somebody else when it was when it's obviously their issue,
their responsibility, what they did and this, and they pay
no attention to it. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom is more concerned
with the redistricting in Texas. That's what he's spending his

(13:35):
time on, is the fact that people of Texas have
decided to do something that he doesn't like. He's paying
no attention to what his own people in his own
state do. But Texas, they're people who are wrecking democracy.

Speaker 7 (13:48):
Yes, uh, they shouldn't be driving. They should none of
them should be driving. Find out how they can be
called these people and get them out of these trucks.
It's just ridiculous us well to do it, well.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
I got to say Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is
making an effort. I mean they're he is, He's threatened
Washington State, California, and New Mexico. And I think that's
the tip the tip of the bucket that they're basically
threatening them with holding federal funds uh unless they do
something about UH holding people accountable for speaking English, at

(14:25):
least following the qualifications that they set up. It's not
as if Harry, this is one of the things too
that that kind of blows my mind. It's not as
if they just hand out the licenses. They just say here,
here's your license.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
Go.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
They actually make them take the tests because that's what's
mandated by the legislature. But then they don't care if
they pass them. So they're going through this slip service. Well,
we gave him a test, and they don't expect you
or they think you're too stupid to ask the next question,
which is did they pass And the answer is no,

(15:02):
But you still gave them a license, yep. And it
doesn't just affect them if they want to do that
in their own state, and it only affects, you know,
their own state if they want to not hold people
to building codes. If they want to not hold people,
then that's bad. But it only affects their state. And
those people who voted those people into office are reaching

(15:23):
this upon themselves. But what they're doing in this particular
case with the CDLs is affecting everybody across the country.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Harry.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
That's what I found outrageous. Don't you.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Crazy? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:39):
It is. I find it crazy too. I do thank
you for the call, Harry. I appreciate it. And I
can hear your blood pressure rising, so you know, take
a deep breath, and I understand your anger. You didn't
pass the test, so you had to either go back
and take it again or have somebody else drive the
bucket truck. This guy doesn't pass part of his test,
and no problem here, have a license, have a good time.

(16:01):
And I think you're right. He was a driver in
his own country. But have you seen the drivers in
some of these other countries. They don't have the same
licensing requirements that we have. He may, technically, mister Singh
knew how to drive a car, but he knew how
to drive the truck, but nothing else. Who's responsible for
the three deaths in the Florida Turnpike Is it mister Singh,
the illegal alien truck driver who doesn't speak English, but

(16:25):
who was licensed by the state of California. Governor Newsom,
who's in charge of everybody who's licensed in California, in
charge of all licenses everywhere in California, and all the
policy and all the people underneath him, who decided it
was okay to give mister sing a license even though
he didn't pass the tests. Is it everybody in between?
You know who's responsible for what happened in Florida and

(16:48):
what should happen to them? Let's go to Carlos in
New Bedford. Carlos, Welcome to WRKO, How.

Speaker 7 (16:53):
Are you, Good morning, Sandy. Great show.

Speaker 8 (16:58):
So as a truck driver for almost next month, I'll
make twenty eight years. I've seen the decline of drivers,
the the way they drive and everything else. So who's responsible?
You ask, Well, there's gonna be multiple angles on this,
and I don't know if anybody touched on this, but

(17:19):
he himself, I think is gonna be I don't think
they're gonna go after them from Mareerda. They probably get
them for I don't know if this is part of it,
but reckless reckless driving death resulting probably something like that.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I don't know, you know, I probably vehicular homicide.

Speaker 8 (17:35):
Yeah, and then at some point they'll probably downgrade it
because a lot of these people that I see, and
it's not just whatever nationality is, whether he's the Indian
or something like that, I see multiple different nationalities, Chinese,
span as you name it. I seen it because when

(17:55):
I drive and I and I back into the facility,
I've driven depend I mean, I do the North East
mostly the Northeast.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Now I'm local.

Speaker 8 (18:02):
I'm home every day like I was before, but I
went further in my earlier times of driving. So when
I am sitting in a door just watching somebody approach
to even back up the simplest things to back up
a trailer. You know, at times in the Northeast it's
probably one of the worst places to drive because everything
is so tight to back into and drive and to

(18:24):
make turns and everything else whereas in California the Midwest,
everything's wide open. So from talking to all the drivers,
you know, it's their qualifications to get their license is
pretty lax. It's very loose on getting what they're going
to get for a license. Now, as far as this
driver did he drive truck before, maybe maybe not.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
But see, these companies hire people that.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
Will you know, probably have somebody as an instructor that
speaks their language, and they're just pushing people through and
if they could drive fall and learn how to shift. Now,
a lot of these trucks, like the one I'm driving
right now, it's manual, but it's also automatic.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
So a lot of these trucks are a lot of.

Speaker 8 (19:09):
These companies are converting their trucks into getting automatic.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
So they just get in and go.

Speaker 8 (19:14):
So for this driver to be going down the road
and not realizing that side they're there just to make
the money. Okay, So who's responsible? They go to look
at the dispatcher, which knew that this guy, he has
to show his dot cod he has to show all this,
what experience does he have? Who put him through this?
It's going to have to go back to the chain

(19:35):
to come in.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Like look in.

Speaker 8 (19:37):
Massachusetts, wasn't there a big scandal and brocked in us
the the R and V where our state police was
given out licenses.

Speaker 9 (19:44):
So I mean, it's it's.

Speaker 8 (19:46):
Not just he there, it's everywhere throughout the country. Because
this country is lacked shore on CDL drivers, But like
they're saying, or is it Duffy or Hunt, whatever his name,
they have to be able to speak English in this country,
to understand and the rules of the road, to read
the signs for him to do.

Speaker 7 (20:03):
What he did.

Speaker 8 (20:04):
I don't know if he did it. I don't think
he did a delivery. I just don't think he was qualified.
I mean a lot of these people are not qualified
to be on the road. Like I said, I see
people try to back in and be bad habits, And
I talked to these people, where do you and where
did how long you've been driving? And usually somebody that's
been driving for three years should know about the bad

(20:25):
habits and know the little nuances of driving a truck. Okay,
So who's responsible? You're never gonna get Newsome to be
responsible for anything, okay.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
So it's gonna be.

Speaker 8 (20:36):
The people in between that gave him the license, the
state police, the dot or whoever gave him this license.
They're the ones that will be should be responsible. No,
it's hands or butts about it. So for him, I
don't think he's gonna get much of anything. I mean,
it's flawda. They could try, but I just see him
getting reckless engagement with the vehicle. Like you said, the

(21:00):
Hicula homicide, Whether does that carry two years three?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
I think it's more than that, and I think that
they because three people were killed. This this was this
was not you know, this was not just an accident.
This was three people that were killed by something really
stupid and something that you said struck me when you said,
you know, he was just unqualified. And I agree with
you that he was unqualified.

Speaker 9 (21:22):
But when a.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
State a big truck, in my view, Carlos is in
fact a weapon. So you don't just hand out, you know,
a CDL to somebody when they're not qualified. That's literally
and we had an earlier caller who likened it to this.
It's a little handing somebody a loaded gun and telling

(21:44):
them to pull the trigger. And it depends on whether
there's a bullet or not in the chamber, whether it's
gonna gonna kill somebody, but you know, at some point
it is if there is if you if you put
you know, ammunition in the gun. So being unqualified as
a as an instructor for something, or being unqualified to
type something, or being unqualified to you know, to be

(22:08):
at a radio station, you know those are all no
nobody's going to get hurt. If you're unqualified for those,
you may screw up your job, you may damage the company,
but nobody's going to get hurt. But with a truck,
somebody is going to get hurt. So being unqualified is
tantamount to giving somebody a license to kill somebody, in
my opinion, Carlos, So, I think it's more than just

(22:29):
he was unqualified. I think, and you may, you may
be a little bit inored to the dangers of driving
the truck because you do it for a living, you're
used to it every day, and you're good at it,
or you wouldn't have been doing it for twenty eight years.
And you respect the roads, and you respect the other drivers,
and you have the appropriate amount of caution when you

(22:51):
are dealing with things. So I think you may have
lost the a little bit just to maybe I'm wrong.
You can tell me if I'm wrong. Maybe you've lost
a little bit the sense that what you do is
dangerous because the rest of us view it as dangerous
and we have a great deal of respect for you
for doing it, and God bless you for doing it
because it's what keeps the country moving. But I don't

(23:12):
think you have appropriate appreciation anymore because you're used to it.
As to the danger this man posed, what do you think.

Speaker 7 (23:22):
Well, it's just like anything else.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
You know. You get a cob and you and you're
driving down the road and you're like, you know you're
gonna get go, you know it all, you know.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
I mean, hey, I'm guilty.

Speaker 8 (23:30):
Like a lot of people grab your phone and this
and that, you know, So I'm not gonna say I
haven't done that. And you take for granted because you
get relaxed, you know. Yeah, and when you're driving. Here's
the other thing in that video, Saandy, if you haven't
and this is a I've heard this from mechanics, okay
that worked on the vehicles. These these the drivers that
you see, you had a two man team. One guy
will drive, the other one will rest. Well, a lot

(23:52):
of these Middle Eastern drivers, it's gonna sound gross, but
if they have their own tracts, they literally they do
not stop. They'll stop the fuel, they'll get their food
for the for the trip, and they'll stay in their tractor.

Speaker 6 (24:04):
They will not go to use the the toilet.

Speaker 8 (24:07):
They will literally, uh, cut out a hole in the floor.

Speaker 7 (24:11):
And do their business.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
I've had mechanics tell me that where they had to
work on the vehicle, they would refuse to work on
the vehicle because there was paper. Yeah I don't want
to sound gross, but paper all over the place. So yeah,
they don't. Yes, it's you know, I might have another
driver that will verify this. It's a true fact. I
heard this multiple times from mechanics, and they will not
work on these vehicles. So but to answer your question, yeah,

(24:34):
we all get a little complacent, a little maybe with
whatever word you want to use, cocky that where we're
going to be, Okay, but in the grab scheme of things,
Sandy doing this for twenty eight years.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
Yeah, I it is.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
I still look at as as as a weapon. This
is like a missile. Okay. So I've been a couple
accidents with black ice, okay, and there was no way
I was stopped and I creamed the three cors and God,
God willing, thanks for the Nobody got killed, nobody got
seriously hurt. And uh but uh, yeah, they'd like to

(25:08):
answer your question again about who's responsible. The people in
between the people that gave him the license, the people
that tested him, and you might find out that they
will get he might have paid for these licenses. You
might in the long run, you're gonna find you might
find that out, Sandy.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
So that's what I say, that.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
There could be criminal fraud going on too. Yeah, thank
you so much for the for the call, Carlos. I
really appreciate it, and please drive safely and God bless you.
Like I said, truckers or will keep this country moving.
And if you didn't think that before, I think you
learned that big time during the pandemic when we had
a serious UH supply chain issue because of mismanagement with

(25:46):
UH Secretary of Transportation Buddhajeg So I think I have
a great deal of respect for for truck drivers and
I think a lot of other people do too. So
thank you so much for the jobs that you do.
Jeff from Chelsea, Welcome to w RKO. How are you, jess.

Speaker 9 (26:03):
Well Sandy. Almost thirty years ago I got my CDL
license as a class being driver, and I do know
this that if you're not unionized as a truck driver,
you're pretty much making peanuts. In fact, one of the
first truck driving jobs I had, I was making nine
dollars an hour as a driver, and I only stayed

(26:25):
there for a couple of days. But the moral to
the story is the reason why these companies hire illegal
aliens and not speaking migrants, it is simple, is because
they won't complain, they won't ask for a raise, and
they're basically behind the eight ball, and these company owners

(26:46):
see dollar signs. I mean, there's a lot of procedures
you have to do as a truck driver pre driving inspection.
You have to inspect the whole truck to make sure
there's nothing wrong with your truck, especially if your truck
as air brakes and and and an English speaking migrant
will just we'll just say whatever you say, sir, whatever

(27:09):
you want to give to me, sir. And that's pretty
much it. And you have to know somebody to become
a union driver. I mean, that's why I'm a security
officer and no longer a truck driver, because non union
driving is not worth it. That's all there is to it.
And Sandy, it's going to get worse, and states like

(27:29):
California don't want to lose their voter base, so that's
why they're going for the illegal aliens. I mean, even Trump,
as good of a man as Trump is Trump is
wants to bring in six hundred Chinese students into America.
Was looking at that from the New York Post. So
this addiction to cheap labor and cheap and cheap migrants

(27:53):
is addictive. What do you think, Sandy.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
No, I think you're absolutely correct. I think that is
why you have a lot of the Blue States trying
to look the other way, trying to normalize. I talked
about this in the beginning of the show. Normalize illegal aliens,
normalize their presence here by issuing first driver's licenses. That's
what Illinois did ten years ago. And then Illinois is

(28:17):
now trying to make them into driving instructors as well.
And then you have the CDL licenses. But the CDL
you're supposed to there are certain federal guidelines you're supposed
to follow for giving the CDL licenses, one of which
is that you have a work permit, which means you're
not here illegally. And then you have to meet certain
other requirements, including being English speaking. And California did none

(28:43):
of the above, so or they did. Actually, they kind
of tried to pass the buck. I mentioned this just
a few minutes ago. They tried to claim that President
Trump had given him a work permit, which he didn't.
There's records in the Homeland Security that show that no,
he was issue to work from it. But it was
by President Biden who issued issue to work from it

(29:05):
to an illegal alien. Again, it comes back to trying
to keep at your point, the voter base. They don't
care what havoc they reak as long as they're earning votes,
and they view illegal aliens as Democratic votes. I mean,
this goes back to nineteen sixty five and the Immigration

(29:25):
Act of nineteen sixty five sponsored by Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy.
They knew in nineteen sixty five, it's when anchor babies
were born, that if they could bring in enough aliens
without having to meet these stringer requirements we had before
nineteen sixty five, they could increase the and they thought

(29:45):
permanently increase the Democratic voter base to the point where
eventually they would become omnipotent.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
That was the.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Plan, and then an adjunct to that has become illegal
aliens because they assume that illegal aliens will vote Democratics
since the Democrat Party is the one that puts forth,
you know, free everything, and we won't touch you and citizenship,
et cetera, et cetera. So that seems to be there
can be no other reason why Democrat cities Blue cities

(30:15):
are such scoff laws in regard to illegal immigration, because
this is not just a humanitarian issue. If it were,
it would be more understandable. To be honest with you,
it isn't because in their zeal to protect illegal immigrants,
they are hurting Americans and that's a humanitarian issue as well.

(30:36):
So it can't be just humanitarian. There have to be
another reason. And the only reason that I see, and
maybe I'm being shortsighted, and if somebody can tell me
there's another reason, please call in and tell me. It
seems to be to protecting that voter base. But the
problem is when you do that, you are you're sucking
the resources away from Americans you need it. You're creating

(30:59):
a human tearing crisis and a poverty crisis for Americans.
You are putting americans lives at risk as well. As
we discussed earlier again in this show, we went through
in the last month, there's been a huge rash of
illegal aliens killing Americans with cars, just with regular driving cars.

(31:20):
It's just it's bizarre. In the last month, and then
we haven't even gotten to the commercial licenses, which are
bigger weapons than a regular passenger car. So and those
can do more damage, and in fact did exactly that
on the Florida Turnpike. And you have to assume that

(31:40):
one state, when they allow a commercial truck driver to
cross the state line and come in, that that guy
has been or that woman whoever it is, has been
duly qualified and licensed. You have to make that assumption
that the other state has done that. And because you
don't have you know, troopers at the state lines, you know,
checking out the village of people's licenses, you have to

(32:01):
assume the other state. You have to trust the other
state to do that. And California and Washington State and
apparently New Mexico too, have all fallen down on that duty.
And when they do that, they put people and citizens
of other states who do follow the laws into great risk,
as they discovered last week in Florida when those three

(32:22):
people were decapitated when their van struck the truck doing
a U turn on the Florida Turnpike. So I think
you're right, Jeff, and I think it's disheartening to think
that people like the governor of California are so callous
and have so little regard for human life and care

(32:44):
more about elections than anything else, And that, to me
is just kind of makes me sick in the pit
of my stomach. And I think that we have to
find a way to hold him accountable. I'm not sure
what that is. I think the obvious his answer is,
you know, he fails in an election, but the people

(33:06):
of California passed by an opportunity to remove him for
hypocrisy and other misdeeds. So maybe this will be the
straw that broke the camel's back. Maybe this will end
his career, his political career. I tend to think not.
He's trying to, I think getting ready to run for president.
Do you think he'll be successful with this on his record?
That's another question. Harry from Bridgewater, Welcome to WRKO. How

(33:29):
are you, Harry.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
How wonderful Sandy, excellent job as usual. Thank you, Sandy.
I wasn't an instructor for a school here in Massachusetts
for over ten years, and I worked in ten with
state police to road testing for CDL drivers. Your permit
test is fifty questions which are required to get forty correct.

(33:51):
But it doesn't end there. Once you get your permit,
you are required by the FMCSA to take a course
what you have to pass in order to be eligible
for road test. You don't pass that federal course, you
cannot take a road test. Now, a lot of the
drivers I've been asked over two million miles driving. I'm
an over the road driver and I finally retired from

(34:13):
over the road and I went to teaching, and a
lot of the drivers, the old school drivers, they're the
ones that had the proper etiquette. These new age drivers,
they have no clue what's going on underneath their backside
when they're traveling down the highway at sixty seventy miles
an hour, eighty thousand pounds under them. And the problem

(34:34):
is they're not professional truck drivers. They're staring with hvids
because they're improperly trained, or they just take for granted
that once they get in that vehicle, they just assume
you're driving their car, that they can stop on a diamond,
give ten nights and change. It doesn't work that way.
You have to have some prior experience, and a lot
of these companies now they're hiring drivers because nationwide we're

(34:57):
about four hundred thousand drivers short. Wow, we're sixty seven
driving short just on the East sixty seven thousand driver
short just on the East coast alone. So if there's
a lot of process that you have to go through
and not to be eligible for a road test and
let alone be able to drive a truck, and I
agree with a lot of these other drivers. These guys

(35:17):
out that are driving now, they have no clue what's
going on. There's no communication on the SEBE radio any longer.
Back in the day, we'd stop and help somebody if
they need if they were broke down on the side
of the road, we communicated. There's no communication these days.
That's the problem. And the fines are totally ridiculous. If
you're driving a tractor trailer and you get caught with

(35:38):
a phone in your hand, it's the twenty five hundred
dollars ticket to the driver, it's a fourteen thousand dollars
ticket to the company. But as with Democrats, you can't
fix stupid. So I think this problem is going to
be consistent until somebody actually puts their foot down and says,
you know something. At these way stations We need to

(35:58):
start screening these people if they can't speak English, impound
the truck, lock them up, and deport them if they're
not here legally.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
You know, it's so.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
Funny my view.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
You bring that up, Harry, And as you bring that up,
I was just looking. They just released new video of
that mister Singh being stopped in New Mexico from the
body cam of the trooper that pulled him over, and
the trooper can't understand the illegal truck driver, and the
truck driver can't understand him, yet he was allowed to
go on. He you know, he's just you know, he

(36:28):
got a ticket, but he that that's it. He was
allowed to continue on his merry way, and then you know,
he ends up in Florida. You said something interesting in
the ball You said a lot of things that are interesting, Harry.
But one of the things you mentioned in the beginning
was the fifty question exam. Is that always given in English?
Or is it given in other languages as well?

Speaker 8 (36:47):
No?

Speaker 6 (36:47):
English? Wrongly, a CD A cdo permat has to be
in English. For a Class D license, it can be
in your language.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Okay, but for for truck driver, Yeah, it has to
be English. Yeah, correct, so, and my understanding is that
Massachusetts follows the federal guidelines. Apparently California doesn't. Apparently California
doesn't doesn't care if you speak English.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
So just plus as a final exam that's provided from
the FMCSA that you have to pass just to be
eligible for a road test. If you don't pass that
federal exam, you're not eligible for a road test. It
doesn't go to the R and B the eligibility for
a road test, so you cannot road test.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Harry, what percentage of people who as an instructor that
you've seen, who take the test and who fail it?

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Typically about close to forty five percent of these people
are going to fail.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Okay, almost half almost half fail. Wow, that's that's that's
pretty high. That's that's actually reassuring to me that Massachusetts
at least follows these strict guidelines. That's extremely reassuring.
