Things Are Heating Up!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Don't you dare touch that dollar. Change the channel because
it's Sunday at seven pm. You're listening to Ihearts WRKO
six eight am. This is John Deaton and this is
the Hard Truth. Hello everybody. Hope you had a great
Labor Day weekend. Hope you spent time with the family.

(00:20):
I did. It was a great weekend and lots to
talk about. Now. Remember you can reach me at the
show at John at Hard Truthshow dot com. John at
Hard Truthshow dot com. I'm going to read some of
your comments from last week's show later on the show.
We got a lot to talk about. We always got

(00:41):
a lot to talk about. Right We're getting ready for
the twenty twenty six elections. The gubernatorial race is heating up.
We're expecting a third high profile candidate to get in
the race along with Brian Shortsleeve and Mike to Neely.
There was a debate on Howie Carr's show at Cape

(01:05):
Guns on the Cape. It's starting to heat up, starting
to take shots at each other. We've had Mike Kneely
on the show. We've had Brian short Sleeve on the show.
We'll get them both back on if Mike mcnogue announces
like rumors suggest soon we'll invite Mike, of course on
the show. You know my position, My position is quite

(01:28):
clear that Massachusetts is an absolute clinical study and the
dangers of one party rule. When one party is in
complete control for a very prolonged period of time, it
is not healthy. And Massachusetts is clearly maybe arguably the

(01:52):
best or worst depending on your perspective example of that
in the country today, we'll talk about that. Boston Herald
did an article on me, John Deeton. Not really I'm
going to talk about myself in the third person, but
the article was about whether I was going to run

(02:13):
for US Senate against Ed Markey. We'll talk about that.
So much to talk about. You know, we have foreign
leaders in the world today, Nicholas Madua, the president of Venezuela,
who is now accusing the Trump administration of engaging in

(02:37):
economic warfare also military warfare, and that the Trump administration
is executing a regime change type of agenda. Lots of
stuff got heated up. In fact, the military just did

(02:58):
a position strike, a precision strike on a boat that
was carrying narcotics meant for America in the Caribbean, and
that was shot eleven people are dead. It's been on
YouTube and the news on X Precision missile shot took

(03:20):
that boat out, So I guess we could start there.
Let's talk about this Nicholas Madua, Venezuela president, accusing the
United States of targeting Venezuela, claiming regime change. The United
States has implemented sanctions Venezuela's president caused economic warfare. Now,

(03:41):
the Trump administration is basically said that these sanctions are
targeting Madua's regime and officials in Madua's regime because of
their corruption, because of their known drug trafficking, because of
their human rights abuses. The Trump administration has said, look,

(04:02):
we're not targeting the Venezuelan people. We don't want to
see them necessarily damaged. But your leadership, the people that
are in control of your government are crooks. They're criminals.
They're part of the drug cartel operation. And the Trump
administration has increased all of our resources we have. Let

(04:29):
me see, I wrote it down, eight warships. Let me
put my glasses on so I can read. I don't
want to misquote. We have US naval deployment eight warships
to the region. Three Jesus guided missile destroyers, a guided
missile cruiser, three amphibious combat ships. They're carrying two thousand marines,

(04:50):
twenty five hundred sailors. We have air patrols going over
collecting intelligence for our mission of combating drug cartels. Now, remember,
the Trump administration has designated these drug cartels as terrorist organizations,
and I agree with that wholeheartedly. And let's also remember

(05:14):
Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves in the world. Okay,
and so there's a lot at stake. Now, there's a
lot of rhetoric going on, and there is one concern
that I have because you know, you got a lot
of people out there saying that the Trump administration is

(05:35):
basically conducting a military operation and that they're going to
basically take Madua out, you know, in some kind of airstrike,
things of that nature. I don't believe that. I certainly
don't support that. I think one of the biggest things

(05:57):
that caused President Trump to when not just the electoral College,
but the popular vote in this country was America's exhaustion
of financing foreign wars and our exhaustion of America being
entangled with these foreign entanglements. We have some serious problems

(06:22):
here in America, the wealth gap, inflation, border security, job growth,
over regulations, political corruption. People are losing faith in our institutions.
People are losing faith in our electoral process, in the

(06:44):
integrity of our elections. I mean, there's so many domestic
things that we have to deal with. We're talking about
a thirty seven trillion dollar deficit. We're operating two trillion
dollars a year in a deficit, okay, and we are
printing so much money that it is making the existing

(07:05):
dollars less valuable. You know, listen, everybody, If we just
take two thousand and eight and the Great Financial Crisis,
where these morons like ed Marky rushed to bail out
the banks who cost the financial crisis, and they said,
here's eight hundred billion dollars to you bank executives. And

(07:31):
these banks were foreclosing on people's homes, kicking people out.
Yet these bank executives used that money and they gave
themselves bonuses and nothing changed. But we printed trillions of
dollars in the process. And since two thousand and eight,
we've seen the purchasing power, okay of the US dollar

(07:54):
lose from two thousand and eight forty percent, and we're
rejected to lose another twenty five percent in the next
ten years. Okay, So that's seventy five percent or pushing
it of the dollar losing its purchasing power in two decades. Okay,

(08:15):
that's what's causing prices to be so high. It takes,
you know, double of what it used to take. Just
look at housing. Housing is one hundred percent increase from
two thousand and eight. In two thousand and eight, you
had the average home in Massachusetts was four hundred thousand dollars.

(08:36):
Today the average listing price is eight hundred thousand dollars.
Seven hundred and seventy seven thousand I think is the median.
So eight hundred thousand, four hundred thousand and two thousand
and eight, and less than two decades later, in twenty
twenty five, it is now eight hundred thousand. So that
is one hundred percent increase in housing. Our wages having

(09:02):
an increase though, so our dollar has lost, you know,
over fifty percent of purchasing power just as it relates
to housing. It's insane, it's absolutely insane. And that started
because of people like Ed Marky career politicians bailing out

(09:24):
Wall Street. Okay, that's a fact. So we got to
deal with this deficit problem. We got to deal with
the income in equality. So again, people are exhausted by
these foreign entanglements, these foreign wars. So I don't think
President Trump would engage in that kind of regime change.
I mean, listen, let's look at Saddam Hussein. There are

(09:44):
pictures of Dick Cheney hand in hand, arm in arm,
given weapons to Saddam Hussein in Iraq. And then you
fast forward and then we invade a Raq based on
a lie. Okay, or and people like Ed Marky of

(10:05):
course voted for the Iraq war and to invade even
though Raq had nothing to do with nine eleven, but
they authorized it, causing US trillions of trillions of dollars,
and now we got to pay for it. And so
I don't support a regime change where we're engaged in

(10:25):
any kind of military operation. Now, if placing economic sanctions
because of countries to make sure that they don't buy
Venezuelan foreign war oil at war, they don't buy the
oil for Venezuela, which is all they have for their economy,
and we place hard economic sanctions on them, and we

(10:48):
make sure that we annihilate their drug cartels, stopping the
drugs from coming into America. That is something we all
should support. Do you know that thinnel deaths are the
number one cause of death in America between eighteen years
old and twenty four that's amazing. I'm gonna give you

(11:10):
a statistic about this epidemic on drugs. If you take
the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, and Afghanistan, about sixty
five thousand deaths in those three wars. We lost more
than that in one year, twenty twenty one to twenty
twenty two to fit no in the United States of America.

(11:33):
And it's because of these drug cartels. So we got
to shut them down. So I support that. Now, if
these economic sanctions cause the citizens of Venezuela to rise
up and get rid of their leadership on their own, hey,
that's something that of course I would support. Okay, we're
going to take a break. When we come back, we
got to talk about troops in the streets. Okay, DC, Chicago,

(11:56):
maybe even Boston. You're listening to the Hard Truth with
John deep Okay, welcome back to the show. I'm John
Daton and you're listening to the Hard Truth. You can
reach me at John at Hard Truthshow dot com. John
at Hard Truthshow dot com, follow me on exit John E.
Deton and the number one, Johnny Daton and the number one. Okay.

(12:16):
So we talked about Venezuela situation. We know that President
Trump took eight hundred National Guards and federalized the police
department in Washington. A lot of controversy over that. First
and foremost understand that what President Trump did was one

(12:39):
hundred percent lawful under the law. There federal law governs Washington,
d C. It's our nation's capital. We've got our foreign embassies,
we've got our national monuments, we've got Congress, the White House. Okay.
And so because of the high murder rate that was

(13:00):
taking place, the car jackings and all of that, President
Trump said, you know what, We're going to stop the
crime in the nation's capital and federalized the police force
and then sent eight hundred National Guard troops. At first,
the mayor of Washington, d C. Of course, was outraged.

(13:22):
Since then said you know what, crime is down, murders
are down, and people are safe. I always turn off
the pundits on CNN and MSNBC and even Fox and
I always asked this, what do the people say? What

(13:42):
are the residents saying? Now, the residents of Washington were
celebrating it. They were cheering it. You had viral videos
of guys walking around with their diamond necklace saying, I'm
not going to get jacked. This is the safest I've
felt I can walk blocks. You had congress men and
women whose family were coming who now would walk three,

(14:04):
four or five blocks because they felt safe. So the
residents were welcoming it. The experts and political pundits we're
condemning it. The bottom line is that it's one hundred
percent within President Trump's authority. He gets to do this
for thirty days. After thirty days, it would require an
Act of Congress, so the Senate and the House would

(14:29):
have to vote to continue to authorize the use of
troops walking downtown. So I think a lot of this
is symbolic. Obviously it's expensive and whether or not you
can sustain it, but certainly it's a show a force

(14:49):
that we're going to get back to law and order.
So we got to make the distinction though, between Washington,
d C. And now what is being targeted because President Trump,
you know, there are people in Chicago, South Side of
Chicago and other place Chicago. They're literally online you pull

(15:09):
them up on YouTube and x people saying please President Trump,
come to Chicago and make Chicago safe. You got the
mayor of Chicago literally went on Morning Joe, and we're
talking about Moron, by the way, we're talking about a
guy that even Joe Scarborough said to this mayor, would

(15:30):
you agree that more police on the streets is something
that you know will help with Lonor? It didn't you know,
Joe Scarborough didn't say it's the only thing to do.
He just said, is that one element, one part of
a multifaceted approach. And the mayor disgracefully, you know, basically

(15:52):
witn't agree. Wouldn't agree that more cops also almost basically saying,
there's not a pro there is a significant crime problem
in Chicago. There's a crime problem across the nation in
a lot of our major cities. Okay, so President Trump
is talking about sending the troops to go to Chicago now,

(16:17):
and people here in Boston are talking about well, you know,
Mayor Woo says that Boston is the world's most safest city.
There's a lot of people in Boston. Who would disagree
with her? You see the open drug use on masks
and casts, you see needles on Boston commons. You see

(16:39):
you know, some robberies and thefts are up, you know,
And so is she being accurate? Is she exaggerating? Well,
We're not there yet in Boston. But the distinction I
want everybody to make is that you can't confuse d

(17:00):
see with the regular cities. DC is controlled by the
federal government. Now, the way it's supposed to work absent emergency,
abstinent invasion, absent some kind of exigent circumstance, is that
the governor of each state is the chief executive. Just

(17:21):
like the president is the chief executive of the United
States of America. Each governor is the chief executive of
their state. So Governor Healey is the commander in chief
of the National Guard here in Massachusetts, and the governor
of Illinois is the commander in chief of the National

(17:44):
Guard of Illinois, and so the president of the United States.
It's usually absent an emergency, supposed to go through the governor.
If there's California to be governor new So now President
Trump declared an emergency situation and sent marines in troops

(18:07):
to LA to protect ICE agents. That's a very different scenario. Okay, understand,
there is a law in this country. It's called the
posse Coomatis Act, and it basically says, and it's from
the eighteen hundreds, actually might even be seventeen eighty seven
around that time, that our military troops and many of

(18:31):
you know I served in the Marine Corps for seven years,
our military troops are not going to be used for
local law enforcement. Right so camouflaged, you know, wearing marines
and boots and utes or army soldiers walking around within

(18:54):
sixteens and camouflage, they're not supposed to like pull you
over to see if you are driving under the influence.
They're not supposed to engage in terry stops, you know,
stops frisks, or investigating homicides or robberies. That's not allowed.

(19:17):
But our troops can protect federal buildings or federal officers.
So when ICE went to LA and people were talking
about rioting against our ICE agents, then that's an appropriate use.
Those marines can go there. They're not engaging in local

(19:40):
law enforcement. They're there to protect federal agents or federal buildings,
federal property. Okay, and that is an appropriate use of
our troops. So if it's going to be helping with
you know, civil unrest or things like that. Because of

(20:02):
our system of separation of federalism, right, we've got the
federal government and then we've got states rights the federal government,
the president is supposed to coordinate with the governor of
each state. And that's why President Trump has said that
he's waiting for one of these governors, the governor of Illinois,

(20:24):
to say, help me with Chicago, help me without Los Angeles,
helped me with Detroit or wherever. Okay. And so now
if President Trump declares that there is an invasion, let's
say it's of illegal aliens, right, illegal migrants, or if

(20:47):
he says there is an invasion of drug cartel or
foreign gang members MS thirteen, he then could use that
as a way to sending in troops. Now there's talk
about going into Chicago. It hasn't happened. I personally would

(21:09):
like to see some cooperation between the state governments and
the federal government. Listen, I don't think any of us
want to think of like the streets of our cities
looking like they're under martial law or something where you
have all these active duty military troops walking around within

(21:31):
sixteens and grenade launchers, and we don't want tanks on
the streets of Chicago or Los Angeles or Boston. I
think we all can agree with that, but we do
have a crime problem. So we're going to monitor this.
I hope President Trump works with the governors, obviously some

(21:54):
of them don't want to, and no doubt if he
does authorized troops in some emergency, there will be immediate
litigation and federal court that'll probably being joined that it'll
go up to the Supreme Court and we'll get a ruling,
and whatever the law of the land is is the

(22:15):
law of the land. But that's where we're standing. I
want to make sure that people understood the difference between
what's happening in Washington, d c. And then potentially going
into these other states. Okay, Okay, we're going to move
on and we're going to read some emails from last

(22:39):
week's show. All right, now, This first email is from
Scott in Fall River, and Scott is commenting about when
I asked the audience last week, I said that, you know,

(22:59):
I think about running for Senate again and welcomed people's thoughts,
whether you're supportive of that or whether you don't want
me to run. And Scott's got a pretty strong opinion
on it, people, And what Scott from Fall Rivers says
is that, John, let's face it, you have no chance

(23:24):
to win in this state as a Republican, So why
would you even run? All right? Listen, Scott. That doesn't
offend me in any way. Being a Republican running as
a Republican in Massachusetts is quite challenging. Everyone knows that.

(23:46):
The question is, despite that challenge, why why would I
do it? Why would I even contemplate it? And you're
gonna have to come back from the break to figure
out why you listen to the Hard Truth. Welcome back
to the show. You listen to the Hard Truth on WRKO.
I'm John Deaton. Okay, So before the break I read

(24:09):
the email from Scott from Fall River who basically said, John,
you have no chance to win as a Republican in
Massachusetts because you're not a Democrat. Only Democrats seem to win.
It's basically what he's saying, So why would you even try? So?
First thing, Scott, if I have no chance to win,

(24:31):
I won't run that's one of the prerequisites that I
have to believe that I have a chance or there's
no use now. Having a chance to win and it
being something easy to do are two very different things.

(24:51):
A Republican hasn't upset and defeated a sitting Democrat incumbent
center in master u Is in over one hundred years,
you know, with Scott Brown won that was a special election,
and then Elizabeth Warren defeated him, and so I understand

(25:14):
the challenge. But here's the thing. We either have to
give up and write Massachusetts off as a state or
fight a couple things, big things. That's consider one. I'm

(25:34):
talking about running against Ed Markey. Okay, Ed Markey, who
first went to Washington in nineteen seventy six. The man
has been in office elected office in Washington for fifty
that's five zero half a century, fifty years. And when

(25:57):
you look at the polling, fifty five sixty percent of
all voters independence, Democrats, Republicans. They're like, that's enough. So
I think Ed Markey has some reliability. Plus he's co
author the Green New Deal. I think when people are
looking at their alternative energy mandates and they're looking at

(26:17):
solar fees, and they're looking at offshore wind fees, and
their electric bills are seventy five percent higher than anywhere
else in the country. That there's some liability there as well.
But we either write Massachusetts off or we try to
get a seat at the table. Now why Look, if

(26:45):
this was about me and my desire to be like
United States Cenator, if my dream in the world was
to be United States Senator, then I should probably go
to Michigan. That's where I was born. Many of you
know that I've been in Massachusetts for the last thirty
years whatever. But as a lawyer, I went to law

(27:07):
school here, represented the Marine Corps all that. But Michigan
is a swing state. There's a lot of the Reagan
Democrats there. If my dream, if it was all about
me going to the US Senate, then I probably have
a much easier chance to do it in Michigan than Massachusetts.

(27:30):
But I love Massachusetts. I achieved the American dream here
in Massachusetts. I went to New England School of Law.
I lived in Roxbury, East Boston, Marden, Swansea, and now Bolton.
So I've lived I've represented working people across the Commonwealth

(27:55):
from all across the Commonwealth. I'm talking about you know,
turbin te technicians at the electric power Plans and Canal
Electric and Sandwich of Pittsfield, Boston, Edison, I mean all
across the Commonwealth. I've represented people for twenty five years.
I was selected to represent the Commonwealth for the nineteen

(28:19):
ninety four Judge Advocate Law contract, so I got to
represent the entire state in the Marine Corps. Great honor.
So it's my love for Massachusetts. But it's the cradle
of liberty. Man, It's the birthplace of freedom. And to

(28:40):
see what's happening to it bothers me and I feel
compelled right to do something about it. I mean, you
got to think about this. Every state wide seat, every
state wide seat in Massachusetts. We're talking about governor and
a governor, Secretary of State, auditor, treasurer, Attorney general, all Democrats.

(29:08):
All nine US Congress members Democrats. Both US Senators Democrats.
So every seat statewide and federal is held by a Democrat.
And some of them are far left radicals, right, not

(29:29):
like just a moderate Democrat held John F. Kennedy. JFK
would be a Massachusetts Republican today. It wouldn't be a
Democrat in this Democratic party, he wouldn't be left enough.
Can you imagine can you imagine a Democrat today saying,

(29:50):
not ask what your country can do for you, but
what you can do for your country. So we either
give up or we fight the state legislatures eighty five
percent Democrats. We don't have a seat at the table.
So we either just say you know what, Massachusetts is

(30:12):
just gone and move or just throw your hands up
in the air and say I quit. Well, I can't quit,
and I don't quit, I never will quit. So there's
this obligation I guess that I feel. And so and

(30:35):
when you look at my history representing the Commonwealth, of
the Marine Corps, going to law school here, living in
all these different places that I've lived, representing working people
for twenty five years, and then you compare that to Marky.
Marky doesn't live here. Man Markie moved to Chevy Chase,

(30:56):
Maryland in ninety one. Hasn't been seen since the Boston
Globe did an article where they showed that his water
bill in Maldon is the minimum amount water bill that
can be charged. What's that mean? People? That means there's

(31:17):
no Washington machine going on in that Malden house. There's
no dishwasher going on in that Malden house. There's no showers,
no baths, there's no water usage. Why because no one
lives there. Because it's a front right. Markey lives in

(31:37):
chevy Chase, Maryland. And so when you compare the two
of us, who do you think has a love and
an affection for Massachusetts? But that's in Roxbury going to
law school. I don't think Marky could even find Roxbury

(31:58):
if you gave him a GPS. So those are the
reasons why. But I agree. I disagree with you when
you say that there's no chance A poll showed that
I could beat Marky doesn't mean I will, but that

(32:19):
if I choose to run, that I could beat him
as high as seven points in this poll. I can
assure you that against Elizabeth Warren, we had no polling
that ever showed me beating Elizabeth Warren. We had polling
that showed me losing a lot less right, instead of
losing by twenty points. You know, we had polling that

(32:42):
showed that if I had enough money and could reach
enough voters, that I could lose by seven eight nine points.
But still seven eight nine points. But Marky, it's the opposite.
And I think it's because you know, I think it's
seventy seven percent. Actually, I think it's seventy two. Seventy
two percent of voters in Massachusetts believe in age limits.

(33:08):
Markey is a lawyer. I'm a lawyer. Now there's one
thing that I could be still today as a lawyer
that Ed Markey could not be in Massachusetts, and that's
a state judge. The reason I could be a state
judge in Massachusetts is because I'm not seventy years or older.

(33:30):
We have mandatory retirement for state judges in Massachusetts. You
want know why, because you're not as sharp as used
to be. That's just a fact. Okay, it's just a fact.
I mean, look what happened with Biden. He wasn't even there, okay,
And that all played out. As you get older, no

(33:51):
one beats father time. You know, Ed Markey seems to
be a spunky eighty year old guy, but he's still eighty.
He's no way does his executive functioning at a level
that it was twenty five years ago. That's just fact. Okay,
that's not me being mean, it's just the truth. And

(34:13):
so I think against Ed Marky. It is potentially a
winnable race. You know. Now the question is, there's a
lot of variables that come into play. For example, you know,
President Trump may not be extremely popular in Massachusetts, but

(34:34):
thirty percent of the voters would take a bullet for
the president, no doubt. Massachusetts was the second best state
President Trump improved over twenty twenty. He gained eight points.
Only Florida was hired. And so you know, the question
is I need those Republicans to vote for me in

(34:57):
order to win. Will they come out to vote if
President Trump's not at the top of the ticket, That's
a big question. If they care about Massachusetts, they will
because even if I'm not their number one choice compared
to Markeye. God, if you even have the slightest conservative

(35:20):
bone in your body, Hell, if you got even what's
called the common sense bone in your body, I'm going
to win that comparison hands down. And so a lot
of variables, but I believe the race is winnable. I
haven't decided to run, Still thinking about it, still talking
to the team. The Boston Herald did an article and

(35:43):
I said that I am talking to consultants trying to
see if I can assemble a team. And if I
can assemble a team and I think I can win,
then I'll run. If I don't, I won't. When we
get back, I'll read more emails. You listen to the
Hard Truth. I'm John Deaton. Welcome back to the show.
You listen to the Hard Truth. I'm John Deaton on WRKO. Okay,

(36:06):
next email, put my glasses on. Make sure I read
Jerry from Wooster. How's it going, Jerry? I'm laughing because
Jerry from Wooster wants to know why can't we get
a real Republican. I told you I would read, you know,

(36:29):
not just the good ones right for me, but i'd
read emails that came in from that maybe weren't so
flattering to me or complimentary to me. Listen, Jerry, I'm
not sure what you mean. I mean, I have an
idea obviously what you mean when you say, why can't

(36:51):
we get a real Republican? What's a real Republican to you?
I mean as a real Republican. I guess what Jerry's
getting at is probably the the maga versus rhino or
you know what, nonsense, purest versus pragmatist, perfect over good, right,

(37:20):
let me just tell you something. I want you to
think about this. Jerry, why you and some of your
friends that maybe I'm not you know, your ideal Republican candidate.
And the truth is, I'm really been an independent, you know,
who leans right center right, but mainly an independent because

(37:43):
I'm disgusted by both parties. I think we've had a
unit party in this country. I think we get different
parties but the same policies. If you want to know
the truth, Barack Obama bailed out the banks, George W.
Bush bail out the banks. Joe Biden bail out the banks.

(38:06):
Is there that big of a difference, you know? Is
there between you know, the policies? Big Pharma always seems
to win. We still favor corporations over individuals. I don't
care if it's the Democrat Party or the Republican Party.
So I've been an independent my life. I have voted

(38:29):
for Democrats at times, I have voted obviously for Republicans
at times, but we live in a two party system.
I wish we didn't what we do, and the Democrats
are in control in Massachusetts. So the only option someone
like me who thinks I can do a good job

(38:51):
is to be a Republican. So but I'm not loyal
to an agenda or Republican Party, loyal to the Constitution.
I'm loyal to America. I'm loyal to Massachusetts. I mean,
if I get in this race. Let me tell you
right now, a big difference between Ed Markey and I
and there are many, many differences, but one of the

(39:12):
biggest fundamental difference is that when you see him on stage,
you're going to see a proud Democrat. When you see
me on stage, you're going to see a proud American.
Those are two very different things. Marquie is incapable of

(39:33):
supporting anything that Trump wants. He's just not going to
do it. I'm capable of supporting regardless if it's Trump
who's president, or if it was Kamala who's president. Whoever.
Is it good for America, is it good for Massachusetts?
If it is, I'm in a support it, a fight

(39:54):
for it. If it's not good for America, if it's
not good for Massachusetts, and I won't support it. It's
that easy. We got to get back to the fundamentals.
But this Maga versus Ryano stuff, Man, You're going to
sit back and argue over who's conservative enough while the
Democrats just keep winning. You know, I mean, listen, let

(40:16):
me address this related to Ed, marky, Okay, Jerry, and Wooster.
You can be disappointed in me if you're a because
I'm pro choice, that doesn't mean I favor late term abortions.
I don't unless they're the life of the moms at risk,

(40:37):
or if the fetus is already dead, right Like I
don't I support an abortion if the fetus is already dead.
I don't think a woman has to carry a dead
fetus or if she's gonna potentially lose her life. But
absent that kind of situation, I don't favor late term abortions.
But up until a certain point, I think a woman
has a right to choose. I have three daughters. I

(40:58):
understand that some of you out there agree with that.
I respect your opinion, and you could be disappointed like
that your pro life and you're like, Okay, John's pro choice,
that's where I disagree with him, or I'm disappointed he's
not the perfect candidate for me. You could be disappointed
that you don't think I'm the biggest Trump supporter, or

(41:21):
because you know I wasn't running as a Trump guy
against Elizabeth Warren. Okay, or I've been critical of President
Trump in the past. You know you could be disappointed
about those things. I don't blame you, Okay. I'm still
for America. I'm still for putting America first. I'm still

(41:43):
from Massachusetts. I'm still for putting Massachusetts citizens residents over illegals.
I'm still zero tolerance for illegal immigration. I'm still for deregulation.
I still reject nonsense. It's like the Green New Deal
and things like that. But you can be disappointed in

(42:07):
certain things. But don't you dare. Don't you dare say
that there's no difference between me and someone like ed
marky Okay, don't you dare. He's the co author of
the Green New Deal. First of all, the Green New
Deal is a fairy tale sprinkled in unicorn dust that

(42:30):
has no chance. It got zero votes. It's never gonna work.
You don't pick a date to go carbon neutral. Second
of all, the Green New Deal is gonna have energy gaps,
and those energy gaps are gonna be filled by fossil fuels,
including coal. It doesn't even replace fossil fuels the way
that it's supposed to it's a farce, okay, but I

(42:56):
certainly think climate change is real. I think are more
important right now. I think that the wealth gap is
more important. But climate change is real. Massachusetts can't solve it.
It's a global issue. Our carbon emissions for an entire year.
It's just two days of China. So I don't believe

(43:18):
in punishing our businesses and our citizens to try to
solve a thing where China's still running coal plants every day.
Like that's just nonsense. I don't support that. Ed Markey
supports amnesty and citizenship for all illegals, including the twelve
million that came just in the last four years. He

(43:40):
wants to give them citizenship right now. I don't support
that nonsense. Come on, Ed Markey supports open borders. He's
never voted for border security. I believe in zero times
for illegal immigration, So don't compare me to that. I

(44:00):
have three daughters. Ed Markey believes in biological men competing
in sports against women against girls. I don't support that nonsense.
Women fought for Title nine and for rights in sports.
I have three daughters. Sports about supposed to be about fairness,
man justice, so I don't support that. Ed Markey represents

(44:24):
everything wrong with our politics. Career politicians who's never made
a payroll check. He's never had to make payroll Okay,
someone like me is small business. I'd take a half
a million dollar mortgage on my home to pay my
employees when business was slow. Ed Markey's never done something
like that. He's lived off the taxpayer for fifty years.

(44:47):
Fifty years, and Ed Markey bases his policy on the
next poll. There's no conviction there. We're talking about one
of the biggest hypocrites in the United States Senate in Congress. Okay,
I mean today Ed Marky waves the Black Lives Matter

(45:10):
flag says he's four reparations for black Americans. Really, Ed,
is that true? Because guess what the first act of
reparations in this country was for black kids to go
to white schools. What did Ed Mark you do? Ed
Markey fought that he didn't want black kids in his neighborhood,

(45:32):
he didn't want black kids in his white schools. No,
he was in the state Senate and in the US House,
and he was writing bills that stopped those black kids
from being bussed. One of Boston's worst times, Bricks and
Glass was thrown at these school busses of black kids.
Ed Mark. He may not have thrown a brick, but
he used something much more powerful in the city is

(45:55):
it was his pen and he was writing legislation to
prevent those black kids. Oh, but today he's mister black
lives matter right, Okay, abortion ed Markey supported a constitutional
amendment to ban abortion. Then we decided to run for Senate.
He looked at the latest poe and it's like, all

(46:15):
of a sudden, he became pro choice, that said market. Oh,
the co author of the Green New Deal. Funny because
he was in the pocket of the fossil fuels. He
supported deregulation and all those things, the fossil fuels, cold plans,
all of it. But then when it came to reelection,

(46:37):
he knew he had to latch onto something. So he
latched onto that that AOC congresswoman, that Green New Deal
put his name to it. All of a sudden, he
became mister environmentalist. Now he waives the LGBTQ plus flag
right in the trans flag. Really, because when you look

(47:02):
back his voting record, he actually supported the Defensive Marriage Act,
which defined marriage between a man and a woman. He
was against gay marriage. I was out there saying, we
live in America or not. Freedom is freedom if as
long as it's involved in two consenting adults, Mary, who
you want, love who you want. Man, it's America. I'm

(47:25):
a freedom maximalist, but that's someone based on principle right
or he just flip flopped again on another issue and
now he waves that flag LGBT flag. He's mistered justice
for gays, even though not when it counted. That said
Markie a hypocrite. Fifty years fifty years. He's been in

(47:48):
the Congress in Washington, ten years longer than the average
voter's been alive. So yeah, I think that he can
be beat. I don't know if I'm gonna run. I
will see you next week.
