Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six x sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, we're gonna go right back to
Bruce and Woburn, just very very quick. This is from
seven oh three. On the text line, you can text
us seven zero four seven zero. Wait, it's just I
don't know if it's intended to be funny, but I
know I just find it funny. Uh seven oh three.
(00:22):
So Jeff, let me get this straight. The left now
hates evs with three question marks.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We you we you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Bruce in wu Burn, Bruce, you are making some excellent points.
Please I want you to finish your last one.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
These people are not right in the head.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
They are you up.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
This is in cheaper acting out through the left, which
is exactly what they've done all along.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
With Trump, with you and I and the.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
American people, the American dream, the American way. They're trying
to globalize our country, like come on, we don't they
get we don't want sheep, we don't want still from China.
We sell our scrap to them and they shall lift this.
(01:32):
I mean, this is it's so crazy, Jeff, how these
people think we are who we are thank you no.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And God bless us for it. No, Bruce, I agree
with you. Look an excellent as usual, Bruce, excellent point.
Look you said it. They want to globalize America. That's
that's been their goal now for really about thirty years.
And how are they doing it? Just think about it.
It's it's all interconnected. You open up the borders, so
(02:01):
you flood the country with third world illegal immigrants who
will not assimilate, and don't assimilate, who have no loyalty
to our country, no loyalty to the Constitution, to our heritage,
to our culture, to our language, nothing. Then you destroy
our economy by outsourcing it to countries all over the world,
(02:23):
and then you have us fight other people's wars for
them all over the planet. And that's how you destroy
the United States of America through immigration, through trade, and
through foreign policy. And so you're completely right. It's been
a concerted attempt. This is what globalism is in a nutshell.
(02:47):
And so what Trump is saying is on all three. Yet,
we're going to secure our borders, we're going to defend
our national sovereignty, and we're going to have an American
national identity. We're not pushing diversity, equity, inclusion, and this
multiculturalism and this critical race theory. We're not going to
(03:09):
pit Americans based on gender or race, or sexual orientation
or their ethnic heritage or background. Those days are over.
We're going to be one people, one nation, one culture.
We're all going to be Americans equal under the laws.
As for the borders, we're going to secure our borders.
(03:32):
As for trade, we're going to defend American workers and
American companies, and we're going to rebuild our manufacturing and
our supply lines here in America. And when it comes
to foreign policy, we're not fighting endless wars anymore. We're
not going to defend the borders of Ukraine as an example,
or the borders of Iraq or the borders of Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
We're going to now defend the national interest of the
United States, period, full stop. And that, to me, that's
the Trump Revolution. That's America first. Now, is it causing disruption?
You better believe it. Do the elites hate it? You
better believe it is the media dead set against it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You better believe.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It is Wall Street, the fat cats on Wall Street,
these corporate elites who really to me, are economic Benedict Arnold's.
They're the ones who for thirty years sold our wealth away,
our jobs, are manufacturing, our companies, our industrial base. They
(04:41):
sold it all for a song, just to make money
and line their pockets. So yes, there's going to be
disruptions on the stock market. Of course, what did people think.
They hear tariffs and they all start the panic. You know,
(05:05):
we've had tariffs for most of our history. In fact,
throughout the entire nineteenth century and most of the twentieth century,
America had tariffs. It wasn't the end of the world.
So like, take today, a twenty five percent tariff on
all steel and aluminum products. This guy's not going to fall.
(05:25):
You'll see a strong domestic steel industry, You'll see a
strong aluminum industry. It's going to help our national security.
So relax, have a drink, take it easy. Trust me.
In the end, we're all going to be better off.
But especially American workers and the besieged American middle class
(05:52):
agree disagree. Dan in New Hampshire, thanks for holding Dan
and welcome h.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Jeff uh.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Yeah, it's it's these these these Marxist socialist democrats. Okay,
communist democrats are attacking Democrats, okay, not just not not
just Elons, Robert Kenzie, Chelsey Gabbard, who's firing and cleaning
the sewer right now? Okay, attacking Christy Nome, arresting the
(06:25):
legal criminals.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
Cast to tell who.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Arrested three of them this weekend?
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Right?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
But no, the media, the cut rupt media ain't talking
about it.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
And people gotta remember they don't need.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
To worry about Trump's pets. He will he will not
hesitate to fight anyone if.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
They're not pulling their weight.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
And on top of it, the uh, the people are
attacking them about the what's going what's going on?
Speaker 9 (06:52):
People gotta realize a lot of the the economy was inflated,
was inflated with covidn Okay in Boston, I can't tell
you how many glads that they've built with COVID money.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
That its sitting there empty. Okay, And I'm glad you're
going to be bringing America first timber Shet who calls
out this?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh, I agree?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Six seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Is the number.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Okay, very quick reset, and then I want to go
right back to the phone lines six one seven two
six six sixty eight, sixty eight. A couple lines are
open if you want to jump on. Now's the time
to do it, all right, President Trump taking a lot
of heat, a lot of heat from the media, from liberals,
from Democrats, even from some conservatives for buying a Tesla
(07:47):
yesterday on the White House front lawn and then holding
a little bit of a Q and A with reporters,
a photo op showcasing the Tesla, sitting into the Tesla,
promoting the Tesla, saying it's a great car, it's a
great company, and then thanking Elon personally for everything he
(08:10):
has done for our country in terms of DOGE exposing
all of the corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse in the
federal bureaucracy and in the federal government. Listen now to
President Trump saying that he's done that Elon has done
an incredible job with Tesla, and now with all of
(08:33):
these boycott's protests, even vandalism being done against Tesla stores
and Tesla's actual cars across the country, he says it's wrong,
and he's standing up for Tesla and for Elon. Roll
cut seven, Mike.
Speaker 10 (08:55):
An incredible job with Tesla, and I mean, nobody else
has a car company started up in the last thirty years,
that's been successful, I don't think so. And not only successful,
but super successful. And because he's able to find billions
and billions and billions of dollars of fraud and waste
and all of the things. I mean, our country is
(09:16):
going to be very strong, very soon because of a
lot of the things that he's done and a lot
of the things that I'm doing. And there's no better team,
but there's no better for what we're doing. There's nobody
like this. And he shouldn't be penalized. And when I
watched the other day, I said, I can't believe it.
It should be the opposite. People should be going wild
(09:36):
and they love the product. But because he's finding all
sorts of terrible things that have taken place against our country,
they want to penalize them in an economic sense, and
I just think that's very unfair.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I agree with Trump completely. I
really I thought, not one hundred one thousand percent, and
so look, let me this is from five to one
to two. Jeff, I'm sorry, but I disagree with you
on this. What Trump did yesterday was cheap, crass, and
ultimately corrupt.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
He used the White House and.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
His position as president to promote not just a car
and a car company, but to help his friend Elon
make money. I'm sorry, but count me out. So there
are some of you out there that are criticizing Trump,
saying he never should have done this, that this was
(10:32):
a bad move on his part. Agree, disagree six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. And let
me just throw one other log on the fire. In
the wake now of Trump purchasing a Tesla and really
promoting Tesla, are you now more open to buying a Tesla?
(10:57):
Maybe you didn't want to buy an ev Maybe like me,
you like, you know, driving a gas powered car. But
now that Trump is really, you know, throwing his weight
and support buying Tesla, Elon and the whole company, are you,
as a Trump supporter, more inclined, more interested in buying
(11:20):
say a Tesla car or a Tesla truck or a
Tesla vehicle.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I'm just curious.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
Scott in Revere, Thanks for holding Scott, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Jiff.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I have you.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
About that?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Thank you so much, Scott, Scott, what do you make
of this, my friend. Did Trump make a mistake or
did he do the right thing?
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Come on, you know what it is.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
It's a new red, white and blue Bruddish, That's what
it is. He's a Trump.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
But you know what, Jeff think about it? All these
people do you know what?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
It really gets on my nerves and I'm so sick
and tired of it. Everything this man.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Does is for the country. Both men must answer ump.
It must even pulling a paycheck, I mean, that's my question.
I don't even think it the guys pulling a paycheck
for free.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
So to everyone who says that gets strong, it's gorn.
Guess what would you work without a paycheck?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
There?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Shut up, that's the end of it. And it's that simple.
You wouldn't work for without a paycheck. And this guy's
doing it out.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Of the kind of sun hot and the ripples loved
these guys no more than four years ago.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
He was pat to them. Now thrown, don't thrown him
under the bus.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
They're trashing his.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Stuff, steme On, it's typical. It's typical socialist behavior.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Scott, just a pig back off of what you're saying,
and you are completely correct. Elon is not just working
for free. He's literally sleeping on the floor. You know,
the doge has their own little department, And staffers are saying,
you don't understand. He doesn't leave. He's literally he sleeps
(13:19):
on the floor like he throws like a whatever, a
mattress or whatever, and gets a few hours sleep and
gets up, showers, brushes his teeth, and bang he's back
on the job. So, Scott, I've got to ask you this.
If you were the wealthiest man in the world and
people were saying you could actually become the first trillionaire,
(13:40):
and I'm telling if you become the first trillionaire, you'll
go down in history. It'll immortalize you, all right, You'll
be known forever as the first trillionaire. But instead of
focusing on your business, you're actually devoting all of your
time to finding waste, core ruption, abuse, the misuse of
(14:03):
our taxpayer dollars. You're doing all of this to save
the country trillions of dollars, to balance our budget and
to hopefully save our country economically, and you are now
losing hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. People are
boycotting your companies, they're personally threatening you they're calling for
(14:25):
you to be assassinated. Your stock prices are dropping like
a stone, all of this money that you've worked hard
to build up. These companies are losing cash right in
front of you. Yet you continue to work almost twenty
four hours a day to expose the corruption in our
(14:46):
own government, and they turn you into the bad guy.
I mean, Scott, in all honesty, would most people say,
I don't need this?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Who needs this?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The Democrats want a jail Musk. They want to kill Musk.
They want a bankrupt Musk. They want to dismantle his company,
they want to destroy his stores. He's now become public
enemy number one. You know, most people would say, Hey,
I can live on my beautiful mansion, my beautiful compound,
(15:23):
and keep making hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars
and live a luxury that people can only dream of.
And instead, he's willing to do all of this, put
up with all of this as an immigrant to this
country because he loves our country that much and he's
so grateful for all the opportunities that America has given him.
(15:47):
I mean, Scott, in all honesty, don't you think most
people would say, you know what, bye, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yet I'm one of those people.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
The stuff are you setting me? These people are lunatics.
Forget they're shooting these buildings. Listen.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
The bottom line, I think is this, we still haven't
gotten to.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
The people who need to go sail because that's blue.
And I'm gonna tell you fly out.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I don't care, but I'm saying it.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
If no one else will.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
That's Blue is dead, un American.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
That's what Act Blue is. Act Blue is his un
American is buying, buying an easy battery. I think. See,
I believe that.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
That's how I.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Look at it, and I and I would buy a
Tesla just to fight him mouth. I really would. I
would buy a.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Tesla if I couldn't, just to fight every.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Liberal in America.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I agree, I agree, I completely agree. Scott is always
an incredible call, real passion, real energy. I love it.
Thank you for that call, Scott. Uh No, Look, Act
Blue is the one funding illegally all of these protests
that are targeting and all of these Tesla stores. Six one,
seven two, six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
(17:11):
super quick, because I want to go to the blazing
phone lines this literally just broke. So the latest report
on inflation, remember the doom and gloom media. Oh, inflation's
going to explode under Trump. The stock market is crashing,
We're heading into our recession.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Des Kay is hauling. We're all going to die.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Relax, hey, take it easy, have a drink. Inflation actually
went down. Inflation actually cool. This is now the latest.
It went down slightly. It's still too high, but it
went down slightly to two point eight percent in February.
(17:54):
Now that's still way too high. You want to get
it under two percent. But the point is they were
saying all these tariffs are going to lead to all
these huge price increases, inflation's going to skyrocket. Inflation has
gone down, not much, but it's gone down, according to
the February inflation report. By the way, I don't see
(18:17):
the media now all morning inflation report. Much touted inflation report,
you know, make or break inflation report. Now that it
shows no, you exaggerated, you hyped everything up. You clearly
were embellishing because they want to create a recession. That's
(18:38):
what they want to do. They want to panic people
into not buying anything, and they want to induce a recession.
So they're trying to claim there's a market crash when
there isn't. It's just a correction. And now they're trying
to claim that sta the that inflation is now going
to rage out of control because of the tariffs, when
in fact now it's actually gone down a little bit
(19:00):
now to a big story that's not being looked at
by the media. Canada, as you know, has launched a
trade war against the United States in the wake of
US imposing tariffs on Canadian steel, Canadian aluminum, Canadian energy. Well,
the premiere of Ontario, which is the economically most prosperous
(19:24):
and powerful province in Canada, doug Ford was talking a
big tough game. In fact, he was using a hockey analogy.
He says, Ontario is going to drop the gloves and
we're going to stick it now to the American eagle.
And so what he did was he said he was
either going to cut off all electricity to Michigan, Minnesota,
(19:47):
and New York or impose a twenty five percent electricity surcharge.
So in other words, we're going to drive the cost
of electricity through the roof. We're going to to make
Americans in those three states about two million consumers of
Ontario Canadian electricity. They're gonna feel the pain. Donald Trump
(20:11):
yesterday said, you know what, it's not twenty five percent
on steel and aluminum. It's now fifty percent on steel
and aluminum, fifty percent. Within two hours, Doug Ford called
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik. The Canadian government, the new leader
now Mark Karney, called the Howard Lutnik. Can we make
(20:36):
a deal. Can we make a deal. We're not raising
the electricity search charge. No, no, no, we're not cutting
Oh hey, Donald, Donald, Howie Howard, you misunderstood us. The
electricity is gonna keep flowing and no electricity surcharge. And
(20:58):
now they're gonna run to Washington and tomorrow in fact,
to renegotiate the USMCA, the US Mexico Canada trade deal.
So the Canadians have just caved. And I want to
quickly read this. This is from Mary Anne who wrote
a very I mean on mess You messaged me on
(21:18):
messenger and to me hit the nail right on the head.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Good morning, Jeff. Speaking of tariffs.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I heard that Canada is now backing off of their
threat regarding shutting off electricity completely to America and or
charging a twenty five percent tax surcharge to electricity supply
to America. Did I hear correctly? Imagine that? Now they're
(21:47):
not going to do it. I wonder why the Canucks
are learning don't mess with the American Eagle. And that's
what the world is going to learn. They're learning it now,
and they're going to learn it even more under Trump.
The American Eagle is back. CJ in Boston. Thanks for
(22:11):
holding CJ, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Oh can it?
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Do you get the message? Jeff?
Speaker 8 (22:20):
There you connect?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Did you get the message? I got a message for
that Prime Minister, Jeff. Before he stops into the White House,
you better stop off at the Neares's drug store and
get himself an extra lodge jar of batholyne, because when
he meets Trump, he's meet the chief negotiator. But on
your point, Jeff, on terrorism, you don't need to read
(22:43):
a dictionary to get the definition of that. When you
start throwing molotov cocktails and you start shooting up dealerships
or any other business, that is domestic terrorism, Jeff. But
I think Trump made a big mistake yesterday. His own
cabinet has stopped billions, billions of dollars on wind farms
and solar panels, and this just goes against his current policy.
(23:10):
I don't think that he should have ever even mentioned
buying a Tesla my own personal opinions of Tesla's. I
know a bit about a mechanic, solthough I'm not a
licensed mechanic. If you read up on these cars, they
are junk. They are truly junk. You get no heat
in the winter. When you turn the heater on. In
(23:31):
a short period of time, your battery charge just goes
down to about fifty percent of the reserve. To get
them fixed, you have to drop them.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Off for months.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
One Cesclaronna had a god side swipe that he needed
a new fender and a new door. After finding out
it was going to cost them twenty two thousand dollars,
he actually burned this vehicle. And the reason why you
see a lot of these city states in the municipalities
with these electric vehicles, that's the billions and billions and
(24:03):
billions of dollars that Biden pumped into these municipalities, states
and cities to buy these vehicles. But now they're stuck.
I mean their gender is electric. Now, Jeff, you can
get a forty five foot tractor trailer and the tractor
on that runs on diesel. These tero emissions now and
(24:23):
diesel fuels are similar to heating oil. So if Musk
actually wanted to, you know, we gained those billions, all
you would have to do is come up with a
device to put in on that car so that the
cobbon burns off before it reaches the tailpipe. That is
the end solution. But you know, you take Boston for example,
(24:44):
a quarter of a million cars registered in Boston, they
are only two thousand electric vehicles. And I think the
reason for this is quite clear. Whether you're talking some
of the most poded countries like India that are giving
fifty rebates of off these little sicklows they drive around
that are three thousand dollars, they're getting them fifteen hundred
dollars to buy them. The reason for this is and
(25:06):
that is I think the second most polluted country in
the world is the endgame here. I have always believed
is that if you get a global economy to go
all electric, now you have those states in those countries
taking over the electric companies, to which they will have
(25:27):
billions and billions of dollars a year in income. But
it's what's happening now here in Massachusetts. Murray Hill. He
just mentioned that she's going to give additional help of
people who put heat pumps in while she should do
her homework and talk to maybe ever source in national
grid are electricians and they'll tell you if everybody went
(25:48):
to a heat pump tomorrow, the infrastructure in the street
is not there to handle it. And not only that,
Marie Hill, he's talked about reducing prices on energy per
per b to you. Heating b to you. Electricity is
more expensive than oil or gas, so it is more expensive.
(26:10):
Just let me finish by saying, this is that bill
that they passed several years ago on this mass saved program.
By the way, the companies have been burying this charge
in their bill and because they don't want the great
payers to know what's going on, they bury these charges
in their bills. And now it's come to light. They
(26:33):
want within the next three years to accumulate over four
billion dollars for this mass safe program. And the majority
of these people that are paying for this, they can't
even take advantage of it. Nothing, And it's a shame.
It's just shame what's going on. So I would just
like to say that those those tree huggers up there
on Beacon Hill, this bill for this mass Saved program
(26:57):
needs to be repealed because it is the more one
of the most discriminatory builds in policies that Massachusetts has
ever put in place.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
As always, CJ, I always enjoy your calls, very thoughtful,
very well reasoned. So CJ, as always thank you very
much for that call. So in a way, I'm happy
that CJ called. Hey, I like to listen to CJ.
But b because finally I got all these emails last night.
Trump shouldn't have done it. It was a mistake. And
(27:27):
finally someone called in with a position saying Trump made
a mistake, and so I want to throw it out
to all of you. CJ says it was a mistake
for Trump. He should not be promoting Tesla's electric vehicles.
He says it's part of this new green energy scam
that is not good for the country, it's not good
(27:48):
for the world, and that ultimately it goes against what
Trump wants to do, which is drill, baby, drill, and
stop promoting solar and wind, which are horrible alternates. To
fossil fuels, and that all he's really doing now is
promoting a car Tesla, which CJ says, you know, you
(28:10):
can't heat it properly in the winter, doesn't give you
enough battery power, breaks down.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's a piece of garbage in many ways.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's an inferior quality car, and that many people who've
bought it pay through the nose and they're not happy
with it, so is CJ.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Wright.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Did Trump make a mistake? I want to hear from you.
Six one seven two, six, six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. And joining us now as she always
does at this time, doctor Grace, putting liberals in their place,
Grace Vuoto, my wonderful wife, Grace. I've got to ask you,
(28:53):
did Trump make a mistake? Should he have purchased or
bought a Tesla on the front lawn of the White House.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
I think that Trump is showing that he is he's
expressing his solidarity with Elon Musk. So it's not so
much about the car, it's about the man, and that
was the point of of that theatric display. And I
support what he did because right now Mosque is under
attack from every direction and his company is reeling, so
(29:24):
he wanted to go out there and say to the world.
I stand with Elon Musk. Now it's Tesla piece of garbage.
I'm not buying what. Don't ever tell us to buy what?
Oh really buy an electric car?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I was thinking, hold on, I was thinking of buying one,
maybe for Ashton, you know, as he gets older. But
you're saying, no, we're not. We're not buying a Tesla.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
There's gonna be another insurrection in the cooner and we're
not going to electric. I'm all for put the gags
in my car so.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I can't move. We're not moving than new Ham.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Sure you guys, nix that, you and the kids and
now there's no tesla.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
There's no Tesla. But come on, folks, it's not about
the Tesla. It's about the man. We gotta stand shoulder
to shoulder with Elon Musk. I think the great problem
is this, Jeff. If I were advising Trump, I would say, look,
Musk is brilliant, but he's good behind the scenes. Leave
(30:28):
him in that wing wherever he's working, close the door
and don't let him out. Each cabinet member should be
the spokesperson for what's going on. In their departments. They're
going to express what's happening with more skill, with more clarity,
with more detail. The problem with Mosque is he's really
(30:50):
not very He's not a very good spokesperson. He looks
like a dork. His social skills are way off. He's brilliant,
but like a lot of brilliant people, they don't necessarily
have the other set of skills that you need, which
is the connection with people, the communication skills. I don't
think he's very good at that. I would just keep
him behind the scenes, let him do his job, but
(31:11):
just close that door.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Overall.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
How do you feel about Trump's tariffs and the fact
now that the stock market has reacted very negatively over
the last couple of days, the NASDAC, the Dow Jones
industrial average, they've been taking a beating. People are now
saying there may even be a recession caused by Trump.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
What say you, Well, look, Jeff, I did not I
just tell you, I'm going to react very viscerally right
now when I hear you. All your arguments make a
lot of sense. Theoretically I agree with you, but viscerally
I'm very disappointed. I did not vote for more disruption
(31:56):
I mean, look at what and it's not the fact
Captain wall Street that are going to suffer. It's the
middle class and the working class that are going to
be impacted by this. I voted for inflation to come down,
and I voted for those policies to be put in
effect immediately. The middle class and the working class we
need immediate economic relief from the disastrous Biden years. I
(32:21):
support Trump's tariff policies, but incrementally and later. The timing
is way off. Look at what we've experienced. You know,
we had a great recession under the Bush years. Then
we had so many years with Obama of very low
economic growth. Finally Trump came to power, we had three
(32:44):
awesome years. Then we were hit by the pandemic, devastating
so many people, so many businesses suffered, and now we've
got four disastrous years of Biden with this crazy inflationary cycle.
To see, Jeff, with all due respect, when I listen
to you, I think, boy, it's good to be Jeff Cooner.
(33:05):
Because Jeff Cooner reads, he goes to work, he talks,
but he doesn't come home and have to figure out, oh,
look at this bill, from what account am I gonna
get this fund to pay for this bill. And oh
look at this bracest bill. Oh how am I gonna
cover this? Look, tariffs are good theoretically and in the
(33:27):
long run, we need to do what Trump is telling
us to do. But right now, the middle class and
the working class, we need this.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Like a hole in that head.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
This is it's personally very frustrating for me. I did
not vote for this. I didn't vote for this. And
then when we talked about tariffs, sure, I want him
to do what he did in the first term. Slap
it on China and go after Mexico. But Canada, the EU.
You're gonna fight everybody all at once, and those are
(33:59):
our allies, those are overall our friends. I know we
need to make adjustments, but there's a way of making
adjustments with friends versus those, you know, like China. The
way we treat China, it's got to be different than
the way we treat Canada and the EU. So yes,
go after China, go after Mexico. Then there's India. We've
outsourced tons of jobs to India. Those are the big three.
(34:20):
Take them on. But Canada, the EU, I mean, I've
got a lot to say about that too. But my
overall point, Jeff is right now, we just needed Donald
Trump to do what he did in the first term.
We need immediate economic relief. And this is not the
fact Captain wall Street. This is businesses, the housing market,
(34:42):
this is working class people who cannot afford their bills,
and they cannot afford their food, and we cannot afford
our energy prices. It's all unsustainable in individual households.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
So Grace, and I don't want to put words in
your mouth, but what I think what you're saying is
focus on the tax cuts, get that bill passed, deregulation,
cutback spending which will help lower inflation, and push a
big bill for massive energy independence oil drilling so we
(35:14):
can lower prices across the board. And if Trump then
wants to start going into raising tariffs or getting into
trade wars, do that later. In other words, the sequencing
is everything. Do the taxes, do the deregulation, attack inflation,
and the energy drilling. Do that now and then worry
(35:36):
about the tariffs later.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Correct, yes, and do it incrementally and do it thoughtfully.
And yes, we reciprocate, But there's a difference between reciprocating
with our phones and reciprocating with overall our friends, you know.
So that's that's the big problem right now. I think
he's trying to do a bit too much, too fast.
(35:58):
I know that overall it's like tough medicine, and it's
like he wants to give us this medicine that we need,
but right now we're sick with cancer. We can't just
take this medicine right now. First we got to heal,
and then we got to see what the next step is.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
All right, Grace, I want to ask you two questions.
We've got about three minutes, so I just want you
to be as short and punchy as possible. What do
you say to the argument it's it essentially took Reagan
almost three years to pull us out of the mess
that Jimmy Carter left the country in. Trump's not saying
it's going to take three years, but he said he's
going to take about six months. In other words, we
(36:33):
didn't get to the into this mess overnight. It was Biden.
It was four years, a disastrous four years. Trump is saying, look,
I've inherited two trillion dollar deficits, a thirty seven trillion
dollar debt skyrocketing inflation, massive trade deficits, open borders and
trade policies that were getting ripped off by everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
We got to start doing it now. We can't.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I can't. Well, I can't back into this. Either we
rip the band aid off now or it's going to
get worse.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
What say you, well, Jeff, I don't think that's true.
Look at how quickly he resolved the border crisis and
everybody said, oh my gosh, it's such a big problem.
He did that very quickly because he focused on it,
and he's bringing down crime because he focused on it.
Is he focusing every day on inflation? No, he's not.
Is he focusing every day on energy? I just want
(37:27):
him to focus on inflation and energy and then take
care of deficits, towers, all the Those are huge systemic
problems that I've gone on for decades. We're not going
to fix that in six months. That's a lie. You
want to bring manufacturing jobs here? How long does it
take to build a plant? Jeff? Think about Look I
(37:48):
deal in housing. How long does it take to build
one house? You're tooking looking at six to nine months
if you're lucky. What do you think? How long does
it take to build a manufacturer plan and then negotiate
what the price is for those laborers are going to
because we've got to bring wages down. This is not
going to be six months of pain. It's going to
(38:09):
be long time before you get that situation under control.
So he's tackling systemic problems when we have even easier
problems that we can address to at least get us
back to where we were during the Trump years and
then tackle the systemic problems that have been created by
the globalists for decades. You're not going to fix problems
(38:30):
that have been created for decades in six months. It's impossible.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I was going to ask you a second question, but
we've only got twenty seconds left. But Grace, I take
it from what I hear from you, you don't like
it that Trump's picking on Canada. Are you a Canada first?
Is that what you're trying to tell me,
Six one seven two six x sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, we're gonna go right back to
Bruce and Woburn, just very very quick. This is from
seven oh three. On the text line, you can text
us seven zero four seven zero. Wait, it's just I
don't know if it's intended to be funny, but I
know I just find it funny. Uh seven oh three.
(00:22):
So Jeff, let me get this straight. The left now
hates evs with three question marks.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We you we you.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Bruce in wu Burn, Bruce, you are making some excellent points.
Please I want you to finish your last one.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
These people are not right in the head.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
They are you up.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
This is in cheaper acting out through the left, which
is exactly what they've done all along.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
With Trump, with you and I and the.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
American people, the American dream, the American way. They're trying
to globalize our country, like come on, we don't they
get we don't want sheep, we don't want still from China.
We sell our scrap to them and they shall lift this.
(01:32):
I mean, this is it's so crazy, Jeff, how these
people think we are who we are thank you no.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And God bless us for it. No, Bruce, I agree
with you. Look an excellent as usual, Bruce, excellent point.
Look you said it. They want to globalize America. That's
that's been their goal now for really about thirty years.
And how are they doing it? Just think about it.
It's it's all interconnected. You open up the borders, so
(02:01):
you flood the country with third world illegal immigrants who
will not assimilate, and don't assimilate, who have no loyalty
to our country, no loyalty to the Constitution, to our heritage,
to our culture, to our language, nothing. Then you destroy
our economy by outsourcing it to countries all over the world,
(02:23):
and then you have us fight other people's wars for
them all over the planet. And that's how you destroy
the United States of America through immigration, through trade, and
through foreign policy. And so you're completely right. It's been
a concerted attempt. This is what globalism is in a nutshell.
(02:47):
And so what Trump is saying is on all three. Yet,
we're going to secure our borders, we're going to defend
our national sovereignty, and we're going to have an American
national identity. We're not pushing diversity, equity, inclusion, and this
multiculturalism and this critical race theory. We're not going to
(03:09):
pit Americans based on gender or race, or sexual orientation
or their ethnic heritage or background. Those days are over.
We're going to be one people, one nation, one culture.
We're all going to be Americans equal under the laws.
As for the borders, we're going to secure our borders.
(03:32):
As for trade, we're going to defend American workers and
American companies, and we're going to rebuild our manufacturing and
our supply lines here in America. And when it comes
to foreign policy, we're not fighting endless wars anymore. We're
not going to defend the borders of Ukraine as an example,
or the borders of Iraq or the borders of Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
We're going to now defend the national interest of the
United States, period, full stop. And that, to me, that's
the Trump Revolution. That's America first. Now, is it causing disruption?
You better believe it. Do the elites hate it? You
better believe it is the media dead set against it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You better believe.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It is Wall Street, the fat cats on Wall Street,
these corporate elites who really to me, are economic Benedict Arnold's.
They're the ones who for thirty years sold our wealth away,
our jobs, are manufacturing, our companies, our industrial base. They
(04:41):
sold it all for a song, just to make money
and line their pockets. So yes, there's going to be
disruptions on the stock market. Of course, what did people think.
They hear tariffs and they all start the panic. You know,
(05:05):
we've had tariffs for most of our history. In fact,
throughout the entire nineteenth century and most of the twentieth century,
America had tariffs. It wasn't the end of the world.
So like, take today, a twenty five percent tariff on
all steel and aluminum products. This guy's not going to fall.
(05:25):
You'll see a strong domestic steel industry, You'll see a
strong aluminum industry. It's going to help our national security.
So relax, have a drink, take it easy. Trust me.
In the end, we're all going to be better off.
But especially American workers and the besieged American middle class
(05:52):
agree disagree. Dan in New Hampshire, thanks for holding Dan
and welcome h.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Jeff uh.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Yeah, it's it's these these these Marxist socialist democrats. Okay,
communist democrats are attacking Democrats, okay, not just not not
just Elons, Robert Kenzie, Chelsey Gabbard, who's firing and cleaning
the sewer right now? Okay, attacking Christy Nome, arresting the
(06:25):
legal criminals.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
Cast to tell who.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Arrested three of them this weekend?
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Right?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
But no, the media, the cut rupt media ain't talking
about it.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
And people gotta remember they don't need.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
To worry about Trump's pets. He will he will not
hesitate to fight anyone if.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
They're not pulling their weight.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
And on top of it, the uh, the people are
attacking them about the what's going what's going on?
Speaker 9 (06:52):
People gotta realize a lot of the the economy was inflated,
was inflated with covidn Okay in Boston, I can't tell
you how many glads that they've built with COVID money.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
That its sitting there empty. Okay, And I'm glad you're
going to be bringing America first timber Shet who calls
out this?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh, I agree?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Six seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Is the number.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Okay, very quick reset, and then I want to go
right back to the phone lines six one seven two
six six sixty eight, sixty eight. A couple lines are
open if you want to jump on. Now's the time
to do it, all right, President Trump taking a lot
of heat, a lot of heat from the media, from liberals,
from Democrats, even from some conservatives for buying a Tesla
(07:47):
yesterday on the White House front lawn and then holding
a little bit of a Q and A with reporters,
a photo op showcasing the Tesla, sitting into the Tesla,
promoting the Tesla, saying it's a great car, it's a
great company, and then thanking Elon personally for everything he
(08:10):
has done for our country in terms of DOGE exposing
all of the corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse in the
federal bureaucracy and in the federal government. Listen now to
President Trump saying that he's done that Elon has done
an incredible job with Tesla, and now with all of
(08:33):
these boycott's protests, even vandalism being done against Tesla stores
and Tesla's actual cars across the country, he says it's wrong,
and he's standing up for Tesla and for Elon. Roll
cut seven, Mike.
Speaker 10 (08:55):
An incredible job with Tesla, and I mean, nobody else
has a car company started up in the last thirty years,
that's been successful, I don't think so. And not only successful,
but super successful. And because he's able to find billions
and billions and billions of dollars of fraud and waste
and all of the things. I mean, our country is
(09:16):
going to be very strong, very soon because of a
lot of the things that he's done and a lot
of the things that I'm doing. And there's no better team,
but there's no better for what we're doing. There's nobody
like this. And he shouldn't be penalized. And when I
watched the other day, I said, I can't believe it.
It should be the opposite. People should be going wild
(09:36):
and they love the product. But because he's finding all
sorts of terrible things that have taken place against our country,
they want to penalize them in an economic sense, and
I just think that's very unfair.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I agree with Trump completely. I
really I thought, not one hundred one thousand percent, and
so look, let me this is from five to one
to two. Jeff, I'm sorry, but I disagree with you
on this. What Trump did yesterday was cheap, crass, and
ultimately corrupt.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
He used the White House and.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
His position as president to promote not just a car
and a car company, but to help his friend Elon
make money. I'm sorry, but count me out. So there
are some of you out there that are criticizing Trump,
saying he never should have done this, that this was
(10:32):
a bad move on his part. Agree, disagree six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. And let
me just throw one other log on the fire. In
the wake now of Trump purchasing a Tesla and really
promoting Tesla, are you now more open to buying a Tesla?
(10:57):
Maybe you didn't want to buy an ev Maybe like me,
you like, you know, driving a gas powered car. But
now that Trump is really, you know, throwing his weight
and support buying Tesla, Elon and the whole company, are you,
as a Trump supporter, more inclined, more interested in buying
(11:20):
say a Tesla car or a Tesla truck or a
Tesla vehicle.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I'm just curious.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
Scott in Revere, Thanks for holding Scott, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Jiff.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I have you.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
About that?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Thank you so much, Scott, Scott, what do you make
of this, my friend. Did Trump make a mistake or
did he do the right thing?
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Come on, you know what it is.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
It's a new red, white and blue Bruddish, That's what
it is. He's a Trump.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
But you know what, Jeff think about it? All these
people do you know what?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
It really gets on my nerves and I'm so sick
and tired of it. Everything this man.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Does is for the country. Both men must answer ump.
It must even pulling a paycheck, I mean, that's my question.
I don't even think it the guys pulling a paycheck
for free.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
So to everyone who says that gets strong, it's gorn.
Guess what would you work without a paycheck?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
There?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Shut up, that's the end of it. And it's that simple.
You wouldn't work for without a paycheck. And this guy's
doing it out.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Of the kind of sun hot and the ripples loved
these guys no more than four years ago.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
He was pat to them. Now thrown, don't thrown him
under the bus.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
They're trashing his.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Stuff, steme On, it's typical. It's typical socialist behavior.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Scott, just a pig back off of what you're saying,
and you are completely correct. Elon is not just working
for free. He's literally sleeping on the floor. You know,
the doge has their own little department, And staffers are saying,
you don't understand. He doesn't leave. He's literally he sleeps
(13:19):
on the floor like he throws like a whatever, a
mattress or whatever, and gets a few hours sleep and
gets up, showers, brushes his teeth, and bang he's back
on the job. So, Scott, I've got to ask you this.
If you were the wealthiest man in the world and
people were saying you could actually become the first trillionaire,
(13:40):
and I'm telling if you become the first trillionaire, you'll
go down in history. It'll immortalize you, all right, You'll
be known forever as the first trillionaire. But instead of
focusing on your business, you're actually devoting all of your
time to finding waste, core ruption, abuse, the misuse of
(14:03):
our taxpayer dollars. You're doing all of this to save
the country trillions of dollars, to balance our budget and
to hopefully save our country economically, and you are now
losing hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. People are
boycotting your companies, they're personally threatening you they're calling for
(14:25):
you to be assassinated. Your stock prices are dropping like
a stone, all of this money that you've worked hard
to build up. These companies are losing cash right in
front of you. Yet you continue to work almost twenty
four hours a day to expose the corruption in our
(14:46):
own government, and they turn you into the bad guy.
I mean, Scott, in all honesty, would most people say,
I don't need this?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Who needs this?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The Democrats want a jail Musk. They want to kill Musk.
They want a bankrupt Musk. They want to dismantle his company,
they want to destroy his stores. He's now become public
enemy number one. You know, most people would say, Hey,
I can live on my beautiful mansion, my beautiful compound,
(15:23):
and keep making hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars
and live a luxury that people can only dream of.
And instead, he's willing to do all of this, put
up with all of this as an immigrant to this
country because he loves our country that much and he's
so grateful for all the opportunities that America has given him.
(15:47):
I mean, Scott, in all honesty, don't you think most
people would say, you know what, bye, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yet I'm one of those people.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
The stuff are you setting me? These people are lunatics.
Forget they're shooting these buildings. Listen.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
The bottom line, I think is this, we still haven't
gotten to.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
The people who need to go sail because that's blue.
And I'm gonna tell you fly out.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I don't care, but I'm saying it.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
If no one else will.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
That's Blue is dead, un American.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
That's what Act Blue is. Act Blue is his un
American is buying, buying an easy battery. I think. See,
I believe that.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
That's how I.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Look at it, and I and I would buy a
Tesla just to fight him mouth. I really would. I
would buy a.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Tesla if I couldn't, just to fight every.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Liberal in America.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I agree, I agree, I completely agree. Scott is always
an incredible call, real passion, real energy. I love it.
Thank you for that call, Scott. Uh No, Look, Act
Blue is the one funding illegally all of these protests
that are targeting and all of these Tesla stores. Six one,
seven two, six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
(17:11):
super quick, because I want to go to the blazing
phone lines this literally just broke. So the latest report
on inflation, remember the doom and gloom media. Oh, inflation's
going to explode under Trump. The stock market is crashing,
We're heading into our recession.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Des Kay is hauling. We're all going to die.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Relax, hey, take it easy, have a drink. Inflation actually
went down. Inflation actually cool. This is now the latest.
It went down slightly. It's still too high, but it
went down slightly to two point eight percent in February.
(17:54):
Now that's still way too high. You want to get
it under two percent. But the point is they were
saying all these tariffs are going to lead to all
these huge price increases, inflation's going to skyrocket. Inflation has
gone down, not much, but it's gone down, according to
the February inflation report. By the way, I don't see
(18:17):
the media now all morning inflation report. Much touted inflation report,
you know, make or break inflation report. Now that it
shows no, you exaggerated, you hyped everything up. You clearly
were embellishing because they want to create a recession. That's
(18:38):
what they want to do. They want to panic people
into not buying anything, and they want to induce a recession.
So they're trying to claim there's a market crash when
there isn't. It's just a correction. And now they're trying
to claim that sta the that inflation is now going
to rage out of control because of the tariffs, when
in fact now it's actually gone down a little bit
(19:00):
now to a big story that's not being looked at
by the media. Canada, as you know, has launched a
trade war against the United States in the wake of
US imposing tariffs on Canadian steel, Canadian aluminum, Canadian energy. Well,
the premiere of Ontario, which is the economically most prosperous
(19:24):
and powerful province in Canada, doug Ford was talking a
big tough game. In fact, he was using a hockey analogy.
He says, Ontario is going to drop the gloves and
we're going to stick it now to the American eagle.
And so what he did was he said he was
either going to cut off all electricity to Michigan, Minnesota,
(19:47):
and New York or impose a twenty five percent electricity surcharge.
So in other words, we're going to drive the cost
of electricity through the roof. We're going to to make
Americans in those three states about two million consumers of
Ontario Canadian electricity. They're gonna feel the pain. Donald Trump
(20:11):
yesterday said, you know what, it's not twenty five percent
on steel and aluminum. It's now fifty percent on steel
and aluminum, fifty percent. Within two hours, Doug Ford called
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik. The Canadian government, the new leader
now Mark Karney, called the Howard Lutnik. Can we make
(20:36):
a deal. Can we make a deal. We're not raising
the electricity search charge. No, no, no, we're not cutting
Oh hey, Donald, Donald, Howie Howard, you misunderstood us. The
electricity is gonna keep flowing and no electricity surcharge. And
(20:58):
now they're gonna run to Washington and tomorrow in fact,
to renegotiate the USMCA, the US Mexico Canada trade deal.
So the Canadians have just caved. And I want to
quickly read this. This is from Mary Anne who wrote
a very I mean on mess You messaged me on
(21:18):
messenger and to me hit the nail right on the head.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Good morning, Jeff. Speaking of tariffs.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I heard that Canada is now backing off of their
threat regarding shutting off electricity completely to America and or
charging a twenty five percent tax surcharge to electricity supply
to America. Did I hear correctly? Imagine that? Now they're
(21:47):
not going to do it. I wonder why the Canucks
are learning don't mess with the American Eagle. And that's
what the world is going to learn. They're learning it now,
and they're going to learn it even more under Trump.
The American Eagle is back. CJ in Boston. Thanks for
(22:11):
holding CJ, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Oh can it?
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Do you get the message? Jeff?
Speaker 8 (22:20):
There you connect?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Did you get the message? I got a message for
that Prime Minister, Jeff. Before he stops into the White House,
you better stop off at the Neares's drug store and
get himself an extra lodge jar of batholyne, because when
he meets Trump, he's meet the chief negotiator. But on
your point, Jeff, on terrorism, you don't need to read
(22:43):
a dictionary to get the definition of that. When you
start throwing molotov cocktails and you start shooting up dealerships
or any other business, that is domestic terrorism, Jeff. But
I think Trump made a big mistake yesterday. His own
cabinet has stopped billions, billions of dollars on wind farms
and solar panels, and this just goes against his current policy.
(23:10):
I don't think that he should have ever even mentioned
buying a Tesla my own personal opinions of Tesla's. I
know a bit about a mechanic, solthough I'm not a
licensed mechanic. If you read up on these cars, they
are junk. They are truly junk. You get no heat
in the winter. When you turn the heater on. In
(23:31):
a short period of time, your battery charge just goes
down to about fifty percent of the reserve. To get
them fixed, you have to drop them.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Off for months.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
One Cesclaronna had a god side swipe that he needed
a new fender and a new door. After finding out
it was going to cost them twenty two thousand dollars,
he actually burned this vehicle. And the reason why you
see a lot of these city states in the municipalities
with these electric vehicles, that's the billions and billions and
(24:03):
billions of dollars that Biden pumped into these municipalities, states
and cities to buy these vehicles. But now they're stuck.
I mean their gender is electric. Now, Jeff, you can
get a forty five foot tractor trailer and the tractor
on that runs on diesel. These tero emissions now and
(24:23):
diesel fuels are similar to heating oil. So if Musk
actually wanted to, you know, we gained those billions, all
you would have to do is come up with a
device to put in on that car so that the
cobbon burns off before it reaches the tailpipe. That is
the end solution. But you know, you take Boston for example,
(24:44):
a quarter of a million cars registered in Boston, they
are only two thousand electric vehicles. And I think the
reason for this is quite clear. Whether you're talking some
of the most poded countries like India that are giving
fifty rebates of off these little sicklows they drive around
that are three thousand dollars, they're getting them fifteen hundred
dollars to buy them. The reason for this is and
(25:06):
that is I think the second most polluted country in
the world is the endgame here. I have always believed
is that if you get a global economy to go
all electric, now you have those states in those countries
taking over the electric companies, to which they will have
(25:27):
billions and billions of dollars a year in income. But
it's what's happening now here in Massachusetts. Murray Hill. He
just mentioned that she's going to give additional help of
people who put heat pumps in while she should do
her homework and talk to maybe ever source in national
grid are electricians and they'll tell you if everybody went
(25:48):
to a heat pump tomorrow, the infrastructure in the street
is not there to handle it. And not only that,
Marie Hill, he's talked about reducing prices on energy per
per b to you. Heating b to you. Electricity is
more expensive than oil or gas, so it is more expensive.
(26:10):
Just let me finish by saying, this is that bill
that they passed several years ago on this mass saved program.
By the way, the companies have been burying this charge
in their bill and because they don't want the great
payers to know what's going on, they bury these charges
in their bills. And now it's come to light. They
(26:33):
want within the next three years to accumulate over four
billion dollars for this mass safe program. And the majority
of these people that are paying for this, they can't
even take advantage of it. Nothing, And it's a shame.
It's just shame what's going on. So I would just
like to say that those those tree huggers up there
on Beacon Hill, this bill for this mass Saved program
(26:57):
needs to be repealed because it is the more one
of the most discriminatory builds in policies that Massachusetts has
ever put in place.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
As always, CJ, I always enjoy your calls, very thoughtful,
very well reasoned. So CJ, as always thank you very
much for that call. So in a way, I'm happy
that CJ called. Hey, I like to listen to CJ.
But b because finally I got all these emails last night.
Trump shouldn't have done it. It was a mistake. And
(27:27):
finally someone called in with a position saying Trump made
a mistake, and so I want to throw it out
to all of you. CJ says it was a mistake
for Trump. He should not be promoting Tesla's electric vehicles.
He says it's part of this new green energy scam
that is not good for the country, it's not good
(27:48):
for the world, and that ultimately it goes against what
Trump wants to do, which is drill, baby, drill, and
stop promoting solar and wind, which are horrible alternates. To
fossil fuels, and that all he's really doing now is
promoting a car Tesla, which CJ says, you know, you
(28:10):
can't heat it properly in the winter, doesn't give you
enough battery power, breaks down.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's a piece of garbage in many ways.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's an inferior quality car, and that many people who've
bought it pay through the nose and they're not happy
with it, so is CJ.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Wright.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Did Trump make a mistake? I want to hear from you.
Six one seven two, six, six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. And joining us now as she always
does at this time, doctor Grace, putting liberals in their place,
Grace Vuoto, my wonderful wife, Grace. I've got to ask you,
(28:53):
did Trump make a mistake? Should he have purchased or
bought a Tesla on the front lawn of the White House.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
I think that Trump is showing that he is he's
expressing his solidarity with Elon Musk. So it's not so
much about the car, it's about the man, and that
was the point of of that theatric display. And I
support what he did because right now Mosque is under
attack from every direction and his company is reeling, so
(29:24):
he wanted to go out there and say to the world.
I stand with Elon Musk. Now it's Tesla piece of garbage.
I'm not buying what. Don't ever tell us to buy what?
Oh really buy an electric car?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I was thinking, hold on, I was thinking of buying one,
maybe for Ashton, you know, as he gets older. But
you're saying, no, we're not. We're not buying a Tesla.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
There's gonna be another insurrection in the cooner and we're
not going to electric. I'm all for put the gags
in my car so.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I can't move. We're not moving than new Ham.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Sure you guys, nix that, you and the kids and
now there's no tesla.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
There's no Tesla. But come on, folks, it's not about
the Tesla. It's about the man. We gotta stand shoulder
to shoulder with Elon Musk. I think the great problem
is this, Jeff. If I were advising Trump, I would say, look,
Musk is brilliant, but he's good behind the scenes. Leave
(30:28):
him in that wing wherever he's working, close the door
and don't let him out. Each cabinet member should be
the spokesperson for what's going on. In their departments. They're
going to express what's happening with more skill, with more clarity,
with more detail. The problem with Mosque is he's really
(30:50):
not very He's not a very good spokesperson. He looks
like a dork. His social skills are way off. He's brilliant,
but like a lot of brilliant people, they don't necessarily
have the other set of skills that you need, which
is the connection with people, the communication skills. I don't
think he's very good at that. I would just keep
him behind the scenes, let him do his job, but
(31:11):
just close that door.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Overall.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
How do you feel about Trump's tariffs and the fact
now that the stock market has reacted very negatively over
the last couple of days, the NASDAC, the Dow Jones
industrial average, they've been taking a beating. People are now
saying there may even be a recession caused by Trump.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
What say you, Well, look, Jeff, I did not I
just tell you, I'm going to react very viscerally right
now when I hear you. All your arguments make a
lot of sense. Theoretically I agree with you, but viscerally
I'm very disappointed. I did not vote for more disruption
(31:56):
I mean, look at what and it's not the fact
Captain wall Street that are going to suffer. It's the
middle class and the working class that are going to
be impacted by this. I voted for inflation to come down,
and I voted for those policies to be put in
effect immediately. The middle class and the working class we
need immediate economic relief from the disastrous Biden years. I
(32:21):
support Trump's tariff policies, but incrementally and later. The timing
is way off. Look at what we've experienced. You know,
we had a great recession under the Bush years. Then
we had so many years with Obama of very low
economic growth. Finally Trump came to power, we had three
(32:44):
awesome years. Then we were hit by the pandemic, devastating
so many people, so many businesses suffered, and now we've
got four disastrous years of Biden with this crazy inflationary cycle.
To see, Jeff, with all due respect, when I listen
to you, I think, boy, it's good to be Jeff Cooner.
(33:05):
Because Jeff Cooner reads, he goes to work, he talks,
but he doesn't come home and have to figure out, oh,
look at this bill, from what account am I gonna
get this fund to pay for this bill. And oh
look at this bracest bill. Oh how am I gonna
cover this? Look, tariffs are good theoretically and in the
(33:27):
long run, we need to do what Trump is telling
us to do. But right now, the middle class and
the working class, we need this.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Like a hole in that head.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
This is it's personally very frustrating for me. I did
not vote for this. I didn't vote for this. And
then when we talked about tariffs, sure, I want him
to do what he did in the first term. Slap
it on China and go after Mexico. But Canada, the EU.
You're gonna fight everybody all at once, and those are
(33:59):
our allies, those are overall our friends. I know we
need to make adjustments, but there's a way of making
adjustments with friends versus those, you know, like China. The
way we treat China, it's got to be different than
the way we treat Canada and the EU. So yes,
go after China, go after Mexico. Then there's India. We've
outsourced tons of jobs to India. Those are the big three.
(34:20):
Take them on. But Canada, the EU, I mean, I've
got a lot to say about that too. But my
overall point, Jeff is right now, we just needed Donald
Trump to do what he did in the first term.
We need immediate economic relief. And this is not the
fact Captain wall Street. This is businesses, the housing market,
(34:42):
this is working class people who cannot afford their bills,
and they cannot afford their food, and we cannot afford
our energy prices. It's all unsustainable in individual households.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
So Grace, and I don't want to put words in
your mouth, but what I think what you're saying is
focus on the tax cuts, get that bill passed, deregulation,
cutback spending which will help lower inflation, and push a
big bill for massive energy independence oil drilling so we
(35:14):
can lower prices across the board. And if Trump then
wants to start going into raising tariffs or getting into
trade wars, do that later. In other words, the sequencing
is everything. Do the taxes, do the deregulation, attack inflation,
and the energy drilling. Do that now and then worry
(35:36):
about the tariffs later.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Correct, yes, and do it incrementally and do it thoughtfully.
And yes, we reciprocate, But there's a difference between reciprocating
with our phones and reciprocating with overall our friends, you know.
So that's that's the big problem right now. I think
he's trying to do a bit too much, too fast.
(35:58):
I know that overall it's like tough medicine, and it's
like he wants to give us this medicine that we need,
but right now we're sick with cancer. We can't just
take this medicine right now. First we got to heal,
and then we got to see what the next step is.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
All right, Grace, I want to ask you two questions.
We've got about three minutes, so I just want you
to be as short and punchy as possible. What do
you say to the argument it's it essentially took Reagan
almost three years to pull us out of the mess
that Jimmy Carter left the country in. Trump's not saying
it's going to take three years, but he said he's
going to take about six months. In other words, we
(36:33):
didn't get to the into this mess overnight. It was Biden.
It was four years, a disastrous four years. Trump is saying, look,
I've inherited two trillion dollar deficits, a thirty seven trillion
dollar debt skyrocketing inflation, massive trade deficits, open borders and
trade policies that were getting ripped off by everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
We got to start doing it now. We can't.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I can't. Well, I can't back into this. Either we
rip the band aid off now or it's going to
get worse.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
What say you, well, Jeff, I don't think that's true.
Look at how quickly he resolved the border crisis and
everybody said, oh my gosh, it's such a big problem.
He did that very quickly because he focused on it,
and he's bringing down crime because he focused on it.
Is he focusing every day on inflation? No, he's not.
Is he focusing every day on energy? I just want
(37:27):
him to focus on inflation and energy and then take
care of deficits, towers, all the Those are huge systemic
problems that I've gone on for decades. We're not going
to fix that in six months. That's a lie. You
want to bring manufacturing jobs here? How long does it
take to build a plant? Jeff? Think about Look I
(37:48):
deal in housing. How long does it take to build
one house? You're tooking looking at six to nine months
if you're lucky. What do you think? How long does
it take to build a manufacturer plan and then negotiate
what the price is for those laborers are going to
because we've got to bring wages down. This is not
going to be six months of pain. It's going to
(38:09):
be long time before you get that situation under control.
So he's tackling systemic problems when we have even easier
problems that we can address to at least get us
back to where we were during the Trump years and
then tackle the systemic problems that have been created by
the globalists for decades. You're not going to fix problems
(38:30):
that have been created for decades in six months. It's impossible.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I was going to ask you a second question, but
we've only got twenty seconds left. But Grace, I take
it from what I hear from you, you don't like
it that Trump's picking on Canada. Are you a Canada first?
Is that what you're trying to tell me,
