Private vs. Public Sector

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Maureene in Braintree. Thanks for holding Marine and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Good morning, Jeffrey, and I have to tell you a
wonderful job you do every single day.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Oh thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you, Marine.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Come and cleanness house like there is no tomorrow. He
wants me to list five things. I haven't been asked,
but I can do that in well under one minute.
We shade out here every single day, me and my
other peasants. Okay that you throw peanuts at us, We
worked through COVID. I mean, this is just utterly ridiculous.

(00:41):
And the theft and the thievery that the finding is
utterly disgusting.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Well, you know, Marine, I'm heeded. No, I understand you
should be. No, you really should Marine. Look, I got
another email from my sister. She's hot under the just
like you, red hot. And I don't blame her either.
She just I have two nephews, as you know, Matthew
and Andrew. They both work. It's a very nice coffee
shop just in Tucson, very nice, good coffee, nice muffins,

(01:14):
good donuts. Anyway, and they work hard. My sister said,
jeff you know that Matthew and Andrew literally they're timed
every time they have to serve coffee to the customers, Like,
you know, management is like, come on, how long does
it take to make the coffee? How long does it
take to serve the coffee? Customer comes first, let's go,
let's shake it, like go, let's go, let's go. So,

(01:37):
you know, my sister's like, so, you know, you know,
these are students who are working. You know, they go
to college, they're going to a University of Arizona, and
this is as you know, they're working about twenty twenty
five hours a week. These are student workers, and they're
on the clock and they're being held accountable every single day.

(02:00):
They could tell you five things like you in less
than a minute, and so they're constant progress reports. They
got to make sure that they're serving the customer. They're
you know, they you know, this idea that they can
just sit around and twiddle their thumbs and do nothing,
they'd be fired, as my sister said, they'd be out
on the street within less than an hour. So you know,

(02:25):
this is what I'm talking about people in the real world,
people in the private sector. That's what real productive work is.
Marine what we're starting to find out These people aren't
just lazy, they're not just incompetent, they're not just entitled.
They're all of that, but they're really corrupt. Again, this

(02:48):
is thievery. These are thieves, and they've been making fun
of us and mocking us and using us and exploiting us.
I think long enough, and you know my advice to
Elon and Trump you may disagree. Any federal worker that
even complains about this email out out fire them on

(03:10):
the spot, on the spot, because to me, any complaint
is in admission that these people are not doing their jobs.
Am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Marine, You're not wrong at all. You know what I've
worked since I could okay, because nothing was ever handed
to me. You take pride in what you do. You
don't sit back loos off of the system at all.
Go there, do your job. You are hired to do something,
go do it and do it the right way.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm with you, Maureen, Thank you very much for that call.
I really really appreciated. Paul in Avon, Thanks for holding
Paul and welcome.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Hey ya, how you doing this morning?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Good?

Speaker 1 (03:58):
How are you Paul?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
I'm reminded of the famous quote in the movie Off
of Space. Do you remember that movie.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I saw it many years ago, So which was what's
the quote remind me of my Paul?

Speaker 4 (04:14):
It says, so, what would you say it is that
you do here? When the company came in and they
started cut froming, you know, had all.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
The employees.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Quote what it is?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
It's a great movie. I mean it's funny, and yeah,
it's very very funny.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
No, I agree, it's it's And by the way, the
only thing is, you know, it's a private sector company
right in the movie. They should have just made it
a government job, like a government bureaucracy, and then it
would have been perfect. It would have been a masterpiece.
But you're right, Paul, I never what is it that
you do here? And they're like, geez, can I can

(04:58):
I get back to you on that?

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Paul?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
What do you make of Elon sending that email and
the media saying this is harassment, this is persecution. These
federal workers now are being intimidated and bullied. Do you
think this argument is going to have any legs with
the American people?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
No, Jeff, because everybody sees the hypocrisy and their outrage.
And as that woman alluded to early ship, few call it.
She was fought on and I'd like to add a
few things to it. I didn't remember any outrage when
they shut Jim's down in salons and shut down just
about every industry that they can think of. I didn't

(05:46):
remember them crying anything about that. I didn't remember them
saying like, oh, if I'm not mistaken, Jeff, I believe
all the federal employees.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Congress they got exemptions. Paul Okay talking about speaking of
people that the rules don't apply to politicians, you got
to hear this huge story ties in exactly to the
theme of today's show. Again, it's not specifically Doge related.
The rules don't apply to them, and that clearly is

(06:19):
the case with our political class. Now, many of you
know Texas Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw. He's called I Patch McCain.
He's got that famous eye patch on his right eye.
He is a neo conservative, he is a Rhino, he
is a warmonger, he is a globalist. Again, he's trying

(06:40):
to pick up the mantle of John McCain, hence Ipatch McCain.
He was on with gb News and the host asked him, well,
what do you say You're talking about Ukraine? Obviously because
the French president Macron was in Washington to talk to
Trump yesterday about ending the war, and you Kraine in
what a post war settlement would look like. And so

(07:03):
the host asks Dan Crenshaw, I Patch McCain, well, what
do you say to Tucker Carlson's argument that the one
hundred billion dollars plus that the American taxpayers have sent
to Ukraine in massive military and financial assistance was essentially

(07:24):
flushed down a rat hole, that it was squandered freightighted away,
that this could have been used to build a wall,
to build infrastructure, to deal with veterans here at home,
that there were so many other better uses of the money.
Listen to his response roll cut twenty three.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Mike, what do you make of the argument that UGUS
money could have been spent to help Americans not Ukrainians?

Speaker 6 (07:53):
You can walk into bubblegum. At the same time, you know,
we we spend we spent seventy five eighty percent of
our budget on a welfare state in America, on social security, Medicare,
at medicaid. I would love to ask Ducker what he
thinks a hundred billion should be spent on, and if
you would vote for it as a conservative. Tucker doesn't
know what he's talking about. You know, Tucker likes to

(08:15):
visit Moscow and talk about how great the grocery stores are.
So I don't really take his advice very seriously.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Okay, now that's fine. It's a disagreement. We can agree
to disagree. That's fine. That's America. So now the interview
is over and the host asks Crenshaw this is Remember
he's a member of Congress, a Republican from Texas and

(08:41):
a former Navy seal. And he's asked by the guy
the host. Now it's the interview is over, and he says, hey,
have you ever just curious, have you ever met Tucker
Quote here's what he said. If I ever meet Tucker Carlson,

(09:01):
I'll effing kill him. I'm not joking. And then the
host is chuckling like, oh, he's not serious, right, It's
like he's trying to be funny. And then Crenshaw goes
back to him and adds and he says, no, seriously,
I would kill him. Now here is the audio. We

(09:23):
try to amplify it as best we could. You can't
quite hear it, but you can. I'll play the cut anyway.
In other words, he's now calling for Tucker to be killed,
that he wants to he wants to kill and assassinate
Tucker Carlson. Roll cut twenty three A Mike.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
Have you ever met Tucker?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Okay, there's no question that what he said was again,
have you ever met Tucker? Have you ever met Tucker?
His answer is, if I ever meet Tucker Carlson, I
gotta bleep out the F word. I'll fing kill him.
I'm not joking. So the host is like smiling and

(10:14):
like kind of laughing, like sort of like you like
you're joking right, like it's a joke. And Crenshaw looks
at him and says, no, seriously, I would kill him.
Now a couple of quick points, and I want to
go right back to the phone lines. As I said
on X last night, Crenshaw is an ipatch McCain. He's

(10:42):
a warmonger, he's a neo conservative. He's a fanatic when
it comes to the aid for aid for Ukraine. I
think he's clearly a shill for the CIA. I think
there's no question and the military industrial complex. He's also
an irresponsible idiot. You're a politician and you think you

(11:09):
can call for the murder and assassination of a journalist
and that nothing is going to happen to you, that
there's gonna be no consequences whatsoever. Again, that the rules
don't apply to you, That you can brazenly on a

(11:31):
hot mic. And by the way, they were still filming,
and he knew they were still filming, and you can
say no, no, I'll left and kill him. A guy like, Okay,
come on, you're joking. No, I'm serious, I'm gonna kill
I want to kill him. If I met him, I'd
kill him. He's got to go. He's got to go now.

(11:54):
At a minimum, he's got to be primaried. Now. What's
making this scandal even worse is that Marjorie Taylor Green
then confronted Crenshaw on X and she said, did you
just call for the murder and assassination of my friend
Tucker Carlson. Crenshaw writes back, lol, laugh out loud.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
His office is now trying to claim no, I never
called for him to be killed. And everyone's like, look
at how you so easily and carelessly lie to us.
We've got you on a hot mic, man, We've got
you on freaking tape that you're gonna you wanna kill him.

(12:42):
I want to aff and kill him, no joke, okay,
come on, no, I'm serious. I want to kill him.
We've got you on a hot mike and you're gonna
deny what you said, and you're gonna lie to us
with a straight face. Again. They think the rule rules
don't apply to them. So let me tell you if

(13:05):
I was ever interviewed, okay, any interview forget Tucker Carlson,
any other journalist, okay, anyone, take your pick. Okay, Rachel
Matt Cowe on MSNBC. I don't care. Take your pick, Jeff,
have you ever met Rachel? No, but I'd often kill her,

(13:26):
no joke, Okay, come on, you're joking. No, I'm serious.
I'd kill her. If I saw her, I'd kill her.
I'd shoot her dead. I'm gone. I'm gone. First of all,
she's filing charges against me. I've got the police beating
down my door, and I am finished. I'm finished. I'm

(13:49):
off the air. I just threatened to murder somebody. Now
with this loser like all these other sleevez ball sneeze
bag politicians, and he's a rhinos rhino. He thinks, nah,
I can threaten to kill a journalist, shoot him in
the face.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Who cares.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'm a politician, baby, nothing ever happens to us. The
rules don't apply. We gotta primary him. We gotta primary
this guy. I don't know if he's suffering from PTSD.
I don't know if he's got a serious screw loose.

(14:32):
I don't know if he's a pawn of the CIA.
And he's enraged that Tucker Carlson has effectively won the argument.
You know, as Sandy rightly said again in the apprecial meeting,
she said, Jeff, look at how they're lashing out at conservatives.
Who's been vindicated. He's been vindicated by the war in Ukraine.
Tucker has been saying for years, the money's being stolen,

(14:54):
the money's being squandered, the money's being freighttered away, and
and of course it turns out to be one thousand
percent true. And instead of saying, geez, you know what
that tinpot dictator in Kiev, Yeah, he took us for
a ride. Instead kill him, let to show him, kill
him off and kill him. It's time that people be

(15:22):
held accountable and that politicians face the consequences of their
words and their actions. Crenshaw has to go. He needs
to be removed primary his ass agree, disagree. John in Wooburn,

(15:43):
Thanks for holding John, and welcome.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Jeff.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
How are you this morning?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Very good? How are you John?

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'm doing fantastic other than what you're talking about, because
it gets my blood boiling every single day. And I
love you brother, in a non sexual way. Of course.
I have a couple of I have a couple of
humorous anecdotes, Floyer. I used to work for the Department
of Defense up at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford,
Mass Okay, and for six years or so, and I

(16:11):
had to get out. But I mean, here's a little story, Floyer.
We had Clinton come through one year and from the
Playing Timeact they call it the parade route, you know,
out the gate. It's probably a quarter of a mile.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
And John, can you hang on six one seven two, six,
six sixty eight sixty eight. Okay, let's go right back
to John in Wooburn. John, you worked in the Defense
Department for many years at Hanscombe Base, in particular, one
time Bill Clinton was arriving and then of course my

(16:47):
stro mic had to take me to break So please
pick up where you left off. John.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, he did interrupt us a little bit, but that's okay,
that's radio right. Yeah. I worked engineering, civil engineering, Jeff.
I was a you know, fron and loader oparada, YadA YadA.
We do all the corpentry, plumbing, keep the base running basically.
And Clinton came in one year. I don't know, I
it was ninety seven ninety eight, and there's a parade
route was about a quarter of a mile and he

(17:15):
came in like December, and we had probably three foot
snow banks on the parade route to him, you know,
to get him out the gate. And my bosses had
told me, they said, we have to load up the
hydro seeds. Now hydro seed is used for the grass
seat and spray the lawns. The hydro seed is correct.
We had three of them and they had us fill
them up with white paint. When what and we watered

(17:36):
it down. We had to paint the snow banks white
so he could see nice white snow because they were
all dirty in December. You know, I was see the
snow banks are dirty. We had to paint the snow
banks on the parade route so he could see white snow.
I mean, the way is austronomical, Jeff. I mean, that's
just another story I have for you. They had us,

(17:58):
they had us get about twelve containers. And I don't
know if you have ever been on a military base, but
there's some big, big buildings. I'm talking one hundred and
fifty desks and all the petitions around the desks. They
had us do this every two years, Jeff. We cleaned
out the whole building, threw everything out in these containers.
I would sit out there in my front and load

(18:20):
it and they would just keep bringing the stuff out
and throw it in my front bucket, and I loaded
probably twelve containers, brand new stuff two years old. I mean,
this is this is new stuff. This isn't you know,
ten twelve years old. I did it every two years,
three different times. We threw it all out. They brought
all new stuff in to redo all these buildings over.

(18:40):
I mean the waste, and I just shook my head saying,
the waste is astronomical in government. I just don't understand this.
I mean, and another time, you know, we have two
generals on the base at all time. On Andrew's Circle,
they have two nice houses, million other generals of course.
And I actually did all the grounds too with my
crew and every I did this three times too. For
every two years, I would replant all new plantings around

(19:04):
the house whatever the general wanted, you know, wherever he
was from or whatever. And I would say, look, I said,
you know, this stuff's two years old. It's not even
growing yet. Well, I want to put this in. I
want this, I want this, And of course, oh yes, sir,
we'll do it for you. The point is, I mean,
the waste is astronomical, and nobody seems to be touching
on the healthcare. Remember when the government wanted to take

(19:26):
over the healthcare system. I screamed at the radio saying, no, no,
no way can they do this Because the waste is astronomical.
Say goodbye to law healthcare system if the government ever
got a hold of it, because it would be it
would be problematic, phenomenal, John.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
If they get a control over the entire healthcare system,
that's the final nail in our coffin. I really, I mean,
we're done, John, just very quickly, though. I want to
go back to your first example. What's it to Bill Clinton?
If the snowbanks are a little dirty and they're not white, like, okay, hey,
so the snow banks aren't white. I mean it means

(20:06):
that much to Bubba. It meant that much to him
that we had to go and waste so much money
to paint dirty snow white. Like that's how much it
meant to him, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
I mean, it's it's it's do you want to think
he was looking out the window. I'm pretty sure he
has other things on his mind than looking at clean snow,
but you know, nice white snow banks on the way
out of the base. I mean, it's it's just one
example of the of the astronomical waste within the governments.
It's incredible, Jeff, it really is.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
And it honestly, John, it's obscene. And you know, we
work so hard for our money. You do, I do,
this audience does. And to just see it squandered, it
flush down the toilet like this, wasted like this honestly
makes your stomach turned. John. Thank you, great stories, great stories.

(20:54):
Rob in main, Rob, I hate to do this to you.
One minute the floor is you go?

Speaker 5 (21:02):
Thanks Jeff, time is short. Yeah, that you're extending the
idea of DOGE to the states. Can take it another
step and look at municipalities, because there are firms that
actually do what's called audits of these municipalities to see
if you know, they've got too many people pushing the
paper five women in the office, for instance, when you

(21:26):
need to to do the job in the tax office.
So I just thought i'd bring that up because your
show spreads this stuff, and it's one more thing we
can look at, is extending a doze idea to municipalities
in terms of audits. Thanks for all you do, Jeff No, thank.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
You, Rob. That's a brilliant idea. I love it, love it,
love it, love it. You know the expression you have
to crawl before you can walk, walk before you can run.
I'm with you, doge to all these corrupt localities and
municipal governments. Let's start federal, brace ourselves for everything that

(22:03):
we're seeing. Go to the states, and then if we're
still not all collectively vomiting, you know, let's move on
to the localities. But I guarantee you what you're going
to find at the local state level just as bad,
if not worse, than the federal level.
