Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six seven two six six, sixty eight sixty eight is
the number. Okay, big story in the Boston Globe. Yes,
the Boston Globe. I can't believe I'm saying it. Daily
Mail Now has also picked up on it in England.
In Britain, other media outlets have as well. So thousands,
literally thousands of illegal aliens families migrants as they're called,

(00:24):
are now being put on a housing subsidy program. It
is called home Base, in which they are receiving thirty
thousand dollars taxpayer funded provided by Governor Mora Heely through
this home base program in which they can help supplement

(00:44):
the cost of rent, pay for security deposits literally by furniture.
I'm not kidding. Well, many of them are burning through
the money so fast it's supposed to last two years.
By nine ten eleven months, it's gone. And one woman
profiled in this Boston Globe piece, her name is in

(01:04):
the Dean. They deliberately withheld her last name because she
fears she will be deported. Now has gone through the
whole thirty thousand dollars in ten months. And now she says,
give me more money, it's not enough, or send me
back to the emergency shelter system or send me back
to the hotels and the motels. But apparently thirty thousand

(01:27):
is not enough. All right, I want to go back
to John Featherston, John and Ashland. John, Please, can you
do me and the audience a big favor because you
really blew the lid on this with your call and
we had to break just what is it? Eight eight
minutes ago? John, She's saying it's worse than what the

(01:47):
Globe describes. Not only is this illegal alien mom getting
thirty thousand dollars taxpayer money to supplement her rent. You
said there's four does that go to.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's done her EBT card or you know it's you
know welfare, you know welfare ebt cards.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Every month, So that's four thousand every month, every month,
four thousand, okay, right, yep.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Then our WICK card which is Women in Crisis card
which if women with children have them, and a lot
of the families have multiple EBT cards and WICK cards
because they manipulate the system. So that's either three to
five hundred dollars a month. She gets free Wi Fi
in a cable in her apartment, probably because there's a
program running for the migrants for that. There's a program

(02:40):
that they get their taxes done for free. And you say, well,
they don't work, why do they get taxes. Well, because
they get the child child tax credit of four thousand dollars.
They get free legal advice for what the asylum lawyers
will tell you are mostly bogus asylum claims, so they
get free representation on that. They get still get free
Uber rides up to New Hampshire for their immigration hearings

(03:03):
if they have those. But Jeff, the thirty thousand dollars
figure is mind blowing. But it's worse because when I
was placing families with Homebase, we were paying a five
thousand dollars i'll call it bribe to the landlord. Then
it went to ten thousand. Now I'm hearing reports that
it's as high as fourteen thousand dollars to a landlord

(03:24):
to say, hey, please take this family in. No they
don't have a credit score, No they're not residents. No
they don't speak English, but we really need you as them.
Here's a fourteen thousand dollars bonus, and we'll pay up
to fifty thousand dollars over the two years to supplement
their rent for you as well, and the Globe says
that you know, they're buying furniture. I can't tell you

(03:46):
how many times that I went to local you know,
good people, good places, local places, to say, hey, I'm
moving this family into a new apartment in Framingham, can
you give me a couch a bed? And you know,
some dressers and bureaus were loading up these migrants families
with full apartments full of furniture. They weren't buying their
own furniture. We had a program in the Marble shelter

(04:09):
where every family had moved out, got a new bed,
with new linens, with new pots and pans, and you know,
goods for the house, towels and sheets and so forth.
So I used to sit with the migrants and say,
if you stay in this migrant hotel and manage your
money conservatively, you'll walk out of here with sixty thousand

(04:29):
dollars in your bank account, your rent paid for for
two years, and all of your you know, healthcare is
paid for by mass help as well too. You're gonna
have more money than I, who have worked all my
life as a middle class public servant. You're gonna be
better off than I am. You know, you should be
glad that you're here in America. And you know then

(04:49):
they would tell you the food was terrible and they
weren't happy with the room and everything. So nothing's gonna
make anybody happy. And Heally has destroyed Massachusetts in the process.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
John, This is incredible. John. So you're saying, even with
all of this large jest, to these illegals, they're not
happy with the money, they're not happy with the room,
they're not happy with the food.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (05:14):
What do they want? What they want to stay in
the Sheraton or the Marriott? Like, I mean, seriously, how
much more do they want?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
When you give something to somebody for free? What is that?
It has no value? It has no value. When you
earn something and you work hard and you finally win,
or you have enough money to finally buy something that
you want, you appreciate it because you worked hard and
you earned it and you deserved it. When you're given
everything for free, you don't appreciate it because it's just free.

(05:44):
You'll expect more free stuff. And Heally does this because
you mentioned it in a couple earlier segments. She wanted
to do this to keep power because she never in
her wildest dreams thought in August of twenty twenty five
she would be the governor of Massachusetts. She thought she
was going to be the Attorney General of the United
States of America under the Joe Biden administration. She purposely

(06:07):
did this to destroy Massachusetts and keep the power in Massachusetts.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
John Dynamic, call and I just want to make sure,
because people are texting and saying, is that possible? So
on top of the thirty thousand that we're giving these
so called you know, illegal alien migrant families for rent
and furniture and whatever you're saying, we're also giving a
quote unquote incentive or bonus to the landlords of up

(06:33):
to fourteen thousand dollars. That's on top of the thirty thousand,
just to take them in correct.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
One hundred percent? Correct?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
John? How much is this We only got thirty seconds left, John,
how much is this costing us? How much is this
gonna cost us?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's cost us Massachusetts, Jeff, It's cost us Massachusetts. There's
no recovering.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
From this mess.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
John, outstand and call John. Please, you know you don't
call often enough, my friend. Don't be a stranger. That's
John Featherston by the way, dynamite stuff follow him on
social media. John, thank you again. Yeah, just treat me
like iny illegal. That's all. That's all I want. But really,
please treat me like in illegal. I'm begging you. Seven

(07:22):
thirty three on The Great WRKO Jeff Cooner Boston's Bulldozer
six one seven two six x sixty eight sixty eight.
You know, I was just mentioning this to Mike while
we were off air. I don't know if it was
maybe maybe got caught on a hot mic. I don't know,
but I'm like Mike, I go think about this. Who
the hell gets two months rent free, free health insurance,

(07:49):
free food. Hell, it's catered, catered free, uber and you
still put sixty on a free lawyer, by the way,
and sixty thousand dollars as John said, if you know
the conservative, I mean, you could save even more. But
you know, if you just watch it, don't go crazy
with your spending sixty thousand dollars in the bank in

(08:15):
the bank, as I told Mike, who the hell has
sixty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
In the bank.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I mean, if you're a working middle class person. I'm
not saying if you're a crooked politician. That's something else.
Who the hell has sixty thousand dollars in the bank,
especially if you know you're raising a family, you've got
a mortgage, you've got bills anyway. So, uh, this is
from six one seven. And I know this person very well,

(08:43):
so a former teacher, former educator, so I understand. I
know this person's not exaggerating or embellishing. And this is
what sixty one's seven writes Jeff. Just for a sense
of scale, the median starting sound dollary for a school
teacher in Massachusetts is about forty five thousand dollars a year.

(09:08):
That's for someone who has earned and paid for a
college degree and has done non paid training as a
student teacher. And then that person has to work and
pay taxes, and that forty five thousand then becomes about
thirty thousand to take to the grocery store, pay the rent,

(09:30):
all the expenses. So just think of the total non
taxable value that these illegals are getting, which according to
National Statistics, and I notice is true because I've reported
on this many times, gets pretty close to sixty five
thousand dollars a year without the burden of working or

(09:54):
paying taxes. You see, it's not just the money, which
is obscene that they're getting. But remember, say you work,
your salary is sixty five thousand. Okay, they're not working.
It's one thing. Yeah, you're saying, well, you're both making

(10:15):
sixty five Yeah, one is working, the other one's not working.
That's all the difference in the world. Now, a lot
of you are making this point, and this is so true,
so true. Even if the illegals don't vote, Okay, and
you're seeing this now over the whole redistricting fight in Texas,

(10:37):
which I'm hoping to get to later. If I don't,
I promise I'll get to it tomorrow. But this is
from seven to eight to one. Jeff. Let's not forget
that even if these illegal aliens don't vote, their very
presence their bodies count in the senses for purposes of

(10:57):
congressional seats, so the blue states get more blue, and
they dilute the influence of red states. See, that's another
reason why they pour all these illegals into their states. Massachusetts,
because of all these illegals, has more representation in Congress
because the census counts the total population, not citizens, so

(11:21):
they include the illegals as well, So that gives them,
you know, that gives mass to say, at least an
extra seed or two. California, Oh my god, I mean
California gets at least six to eight extra congressional seats.
That's representation in Congress just due to illegals alone. New
York didto Illinois, diddo. So even if they're not directly voting,

(11:46):
it gives more political power to the Democrats. That's why
they can't get enough illegal aliens coming into their state,
and that's why they'll shell out all the money, all
the money they can possibly shell out, because the more illegals,
the more political power the Democrats get. Six one seven

(12:09):
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Okay, very quickly,
because all of you need to hear this. It's not
just that we're being overrun with the illegals and all
of the so called free stuff that they're getting, which
is as I thought, John very powerfully said, it's destroying Massachusetts,

(12:31):
it's destroying America. We are literally going broke because of this,
We're going bankrupt. But they're not assimilating. They're not assimilating
because they feel entitled. They come here with a sense
of entitlement. There's no gratitude, there's no humility. In fact,

(12:52):
quite the opposite. They're ungrateful, and they have a deep
hatred and resentment, a contempt for this country because they
look at us and they almost laugh at us, because
we bend over backwards to cater to them. And so
what you're now seeing really for the first time ever

(13:13):
in American history. And if no one else is going
to ring the alarm, I'm ringing the alarm. I'm ringing
the alarm bell. You're now starting to see for the
first time members of Congress, all of them Democrats, who
now are openly, publicly, vocally proclaiming their allegiance to foreign

(13:38):
countries over their own. Now listen, this happened over the
weekend at a major summit in Mexico City. And this is,
by the way, this summit in Mexico City brought in
radical progressives from all over the world, an openly anti capitalist,

(13:58):
anti American in summit. The purpose of the summit was
not just to destroy capitalism but America itself. In fact,
the summit, in its opening remarks, referred to capitalism and
America as quote unquote a virus, a virus that must
be stomped and eradicated. Three Democrat members of Congress attended

(14:26):
this summit. One elon some people did something Omar, who,
by the way, has publicly said she puts her allegiance
to Somalia over that of the United States. The second
one Rashida impeached a mother effort, Talib who has openly

(14:48):
said she puts her allegiance to Palestine and the Palestinians
over the United States of America. And a third one,
this is a new name now. Her name is Congresswoman
Delaiya or Delia Ramirez. She is a Democrat member of

(15:08):
Congress from Chicago and some of its suburban suburbs the
surrounding suburban areas. Speaking in Spanish, this is what she said.
I'm going to play the cut first and then I'll
give you the translation. Roll cut seventeen.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
Mike Primero es American.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
And they're clapping. What she said is in Spanish. I'm
a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American. I'm a proud
Guatemalan before I'm an American. Her parents immigrated to the

(15:58):
United States from Guatemala. She was born in this country.
Her parents fled Guatemala, which is a third world hell whole.
I'm not I'm not demonizing Guatemala. I'm just it's a
third world, very poor, violent ridden country. Most people there

(16:19):
would leave if they could, it's that bad. She is married,
this member of Congress, Congresswoman Ramirez, her husband. She's openly
she said this, It's on her website. Her husband is
an illegal alien. He's an illegal. She said, I'm the

(16:40):
first mixed status member of Congress. In other words, I'm legal,
but my husband is illegal. So now you have something else.
You're bringing in illegals pouring into our country. You're pushing diversity,
equity and cludion, you're pushing woke ideology and multiculturalism. And

(17:05):
now you're openly fomenting hatred for the United States in
which people are openly proclaiming their loyalty their allegiance to
a foreign country. Okay, super quick. So there was Elanomar
Rashida Talib. Both of them publicly have repeatedly declared their

(17:26):
allegiance either to Somalia or to the Palestinians or Palestine
before their allegiance to the United States. Listen, now again,
this is Congresswoman Dalia Ramirez she's from the She's an
Illinois Democrat. She represents Chicago and some of the suburbs
around Chicago. At a virulently anti American summit, anti capitalist,

(17:50):
anti American in Mexico City over the weekend. And they
don't speak English. They are such solidarity with Mexico and
the left wing government now in Mexico that they only
speak in Spanish. And so in Spanish, she says, I'm
a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American. Roll cut seventeen a.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
Mic spelko primero so American.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
There you go. And clai Ah, her parents immigrated, as
I said, from Guatemala to the United States. This woman
born and raised in America. Okay, now I'm sorry, but
enough is enough to her to ilanomar to rashida talib

(18:42):
to aoc, I can run down the whole list America,
love it or leave it now. If your loyalty is
to Guatemala, by the way, I would visit Guatemala before
I would say that, But let that go. Okay, Maybe
take a look at what that country is like, but

(19:03):
let that go okay. If your allegiance is to Guatemala,
then it is you're prouder to be Guatemalan than you
are to be American, and your allegiance is to Guatemala
over the United States. Then go back to Guatemala like
I'm sorry, but enough is enough. And I'm telling you

(19:25):
that's what illegal alien, this illegal alien invasion begets. That's
what's putting everybody on welfare begets. That's what's creating this
sense of dependency and entitlement begets. That's what multiculturalism gives you,
That's what Balkanization gives you. That's what dei critical race

(19:45):
theory gets you. You end up hating this country so
much that even though you live a million times better
here than you would from the country that your parents
or grandparents came from, like an idiot, you're extolling their
virtue over the United States. Now her ancestry happens to

(20:05):
be Guatemalan. So that's why I mentioned in Guatemala, I
don't care where the country is. You are better off here,
safer here, freer here, more prosperous here than you are
in any other country in the world, and certainly a
hell of a lot better than in Guatemala. Now has

(20:26):
Hakim Jeffries condemned this Has Chuck Schumer condemned this?

Speaker 5 (20:30):
EH?

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Has Elizabeth Warren condemned this?

Speaker 3 (20:35):
EH?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Has any Democrat condemned this?

Speaker 5 (20:39):
Eh?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
I'll tell you why, because they agree with them. You
ask most Democrats. They think America sucks. They think almost
any country in the world is better than the United States.
And that's what this destructive anti americanism is now leading to.

(21:04):
To the point, now, this has never happened in our
country before. This is very dangerous where you have I'm
not talking about some blowhard at a local bar, or
even some loser on a city council or some town
council or something. I'm talking about sitting members of Congress

(21:25):
who vote on legislation and sit on committees for God's sake,
and they're like, I love Somaliya. I'm here to defend
and promote Somaliya. Some people did something or the other one,

(21:45):
you know, jeh je je je jehead. That one Rashida
Talib who smiles ear to ear when she sees the
flag of Hamas. And now this one from the this
this joke out of Chicago. That's it's like a cancer,

(22:06):
that's what. And by the way, ask that illegal Nadine
as the one that's getting thirty thousand and now spent
through the spent all the money, blew all the money
and THEBT that she's been getting, and the food stamps
and the free health insurance and everything we've given her
four years from that hellhole. Haiti, Okay, one of the
poorest countries in the world, in the world, or a

(22:31):
chunk of the population is literally starving to death. They're
freaking starving. Man Haiti or America hate te I love
HATI I'm proud to be from Haiti. She would say,
I'm prouder I'm prouder to be Haitian that I am
to be American. I mean, she's not an American, she's

(22:53):
an illegal. But what I'm saying is, you think there's
any gratitude if I came from a god forsaken third
world hell hole where everybody around me is starving and
miserable and oppressed and under the thumb of a brutal
dictatorship and warlords that are rampaging across the country like

(23:15):
it's some like it's Mad Max the movie, like it's
some dystopian Hollywood movie. I'd be like one woman. All
I'd be doing kissing the ground. That's it. That's all
I'd be saying. I love America. I love America. Thank you.
I love America. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll
take two jobs, I'll take three jobs. I'll take any
job you give me, and thank you. And you know

(23:37):
what I decorate my apartment with. I'm serious, one massive
American flag. I'm telling you. That's it. And I tell
my boy, you put your hand over your heart. This
is the greatest country in the world. And please let
them give me citizenship. I'm begging you. I'm begging you.
That's what I would do instead. Not enough thirty thousand dollars,

(23:58):
not enough, not enough welfare, not enough food, not enough rent.
This is not enough. You in Grete, you six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight out out
every single one of these illegals, every single one, report

(24:20):
their asses back to where they came from. And maybe
once they see what life is. I guess they've forgotten
how bad life is in their home countries. Maybe when
we ship them back to go oh geez oh, I
had it so good in America. Well it's too late now.
Linda in Medford, thanks for holding Linda, and.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Welcome oh, I'm kind of referring back to an earlier
caller with the bathhouses. I bet you dollars to donuts.
It's become a drug spot or something like that, and
that's why they were forced not to use it to
They didn't call nine one one and step away from

(25:02):
the bath house.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Oh you mean, oh, you mean the public bathroom and Sharon.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yes, I bet I bet they had drugs in there.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Nothing would surprise me, now, Linda. The only thing I
could just say is this, I think I've been to
that community center. I don't want to say I have,
but I think I think I have. And they do
require a pass to get in to park in the
parking lot, and I've just they're they're acting like, I
don't know what it's like, really like you're entering the

(25:35):
White House, I mean, as you can't come in unless
you have this pass, and I'm like, you got to
be and it's empty, it's practically empty. So no, to me, Linda,
what's upsetting is they will build walls and block people
out who are taxpayers on public beaches, or on public bathrooms,

(25:59):
or on public community centers or public playgrounds. But if
you're an illegal alien, you can do whatever you want.
You can go anywhere. Literally, you can even break the
law over and over and over and over again and
nothing happens. In fact, you're glorified. They honestly, they keep

(26:22):
telling us these are dreamers, that they're superior to us. Literally,
they're superior to us. Like you don't have dreams. I
don't have dreams. They have dreams, and that what makes
us great are the illegals. That's literally what they're telling us.
And that's why, Like, if we're not shelling out thirty
thousand dollars for them to stay in an apartment that

(26:44):
they burn through in ten months and then give them
free food and free welfare four thousand dollars and you know,
and free healthcare and free schooling, well then you're just
a selfish, evil person because you don't realize that these
people are better than we are. I mean, that's how
sick and twisted these democrats have become. Linda, if you

(27:08):
don't mind me asking, and if I'm getting too personal,
please tell me did the state of Massachusetts or the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any state government did they ever
give you thirty thousand dollars to help you with your
mortgage or your rent. I'm just curious.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Nope, nope, really, I only wish.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
How about four thousand dollars? Whoa about how about four
thousand dollars a month? You know, like EBT, Like, here's
four thousand dollars and Linda, spend it, you know on
what you need? Now. They never four thousand a month.
They never forty eight thousand dollars a year. They've never
You've never gotten mad.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Sounds great. That's more than my Social Security check.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
And by the way, notice they don't get taxed your
Social Security now, not under Trump, but up until the
big beautiful bill, your Social Security it even tax that.
But notice they don't tax the EBT cards. Have you
noticed that they don't tax? Eh, that thirty thousand dollars
stipend that they don't tax for the illegals. That for

(28:14):
the illegals, Linda noticed, that's all tax free. But even
when you get your Social Security blank you, they still
take a cut out of your check. Am I wrong?

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, nope, you're saying it like it is.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's just like you can't make this stuff up. Linda,
thank you very much for that call. Look, honestly, treat
me like an illegal. Please just no, no, no, don't
treat me like a US citizen. No no, please, don't
no no, just treat me like an illegal. That's all
I ask, first class all the way, baby, Dave and Norwell,

(28:52):
thanks for holding Dave, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Morgan, Jeff.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
How are you.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
I'm good? How are you, Dave?

Speaker 4 (28:59):
I'm doing okay, Dave.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
I just want you to know, just to set their
record straight, I put my allegiance to Guatemala ahead of
the United States, all right, Dave. I just want you
to know that that I am prouder of Guatemala that
I am of the United States. I Dave. I just
want you to know that.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
They extra money from the governor. One thing I did
want to and I enjoyed John Featherstone most of the
points I wanted to make. But I can tell you
that we cannot get very good data in terms of
what the immigration is costing us in terms of mess health.

(29:43):
And I deal with this quite frequently, and in my
district down here, I hear from nurses who work at
South Shore hospitals and all through Boston come home in
the South Shore and they say we're getting killed in
terms of people coming up. Remember many of these people
coming from from the Caribbean have never been to a doctor.
So you get dental, you have potential asthma and diabetes

(30:06):
and eyeglasses and everything. It costs forty thousand dollars or
so without complications to have a child. Now, all right,
and one thing these folks do is can have children. Yes,
that's Mary O'Connell and I served with her was she
was a legislator. So I can tell you that, you know,

(30:27):
we are not getting a good handle on what the
costs are, not only through mass health, but also the
costs specific to hospitals that never get reimbursed because they
have to eat what isn't paid.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
I agree, Dave. I think it's a really good point. Look,
it's straining our hospitals, it's straining our social welfare services
really to the breaking point. It's straining our schools, and
it's really now straining the toxpayers. And they're taking money
out of the general fund to pay for all of this.

(31:05):
There's less money for police, we know it. There's less
money for fire, less money for teachers, less money for roads,
less money for nurses, less money for healthcare. There's no question. Look,
I can tell you this right now and again, Dave.
You may disagree with me, which is fine. Look I've
been in Massachusetts. Now, what is it thirteen years? Okay,

(31:29):
thirteen years. I started the show in twenty twelve, so
thirteen years. I have seen the decline and I felt it.
In thirteen years, I felt it. The roads are getting worse.
They are the quality of social services are getting worse.
There's no question the crime rate is up. Look, I'll

(31:52):
just give an example in twenty twelve. Look, I wasn't
a big fan of Daval Patrick, and I was a
big critic of Charlie Baker. You never had Look in
twenty twelve, there was no mass and cass like. You
could say whatever you want, But when you walked in
the downtown Boston area, you didn't see homeless encampments. You
didn't see people literally shooting up, you know, shit, injecting

(32:15):
themselves with heroin. You didn't see people. I'm not saying
there weren't homeless. I'm not saying there weren't addicts. Yes,
but not like this where people are openly urinating and
defecating on the streets. Like I'm just calling it as
it is. I mean, I'm not saying it was great.
It wasn't. But man, oh man, has it gotten worse?

(32:40):
And yes, there was illegal immigration in twenty twelve, you
could see it, but not at this level. And you know,
and say, which, yes, how do I say this? Yeah,
they put him in public housing and they put them
on Wick and but thirty thousand dollars to put him
in an apartment with free prepaid visa cards and then

(33:04):
four thousand dollars a month EBT cards. Like I'm just
it's just it's out of control. And I'm telling you.
Police officers are telling me, Jeff, they're cutting back. There's
no money, they're cutting back public safety. Police officers are
telling me, Jeff, they're fudging the crime rate. The homicides

(33:24):
are up, murders are up, burglaries are up. Crime is up.
They go, they're trying to the media is trying to
cover it up. Boston, according to Michelle Woo, she says,
we're the safest city in America. Bowl you know what, bs, Bravo,
Sierra Boston is not a safe city. In twenty twelve,
it was a much safer city. It just was. You know,

(33:47):
even someone like Mini me as I used to call him,
daval Patrick a mini Obama. He had a sense of, well,
you need to have businesses thrive in Massachusetts. Someone's got
to pay the taxes, so you know, give them a
good business climate. The streets should be safe, keep regulations,

(34:08):
you know, as minimal as possible. Don't lock them over
the head with tox increases. Now with these woke idiots
Michelle Woo and Mora Heally, they're determined to drive business
out of the state. They're determined to drive the middle
class and toxpayers out of the state. It's like a
war now on toxpayers. That's what's changed. Dave, Am I wrong?

Speaker 4 (34:35):
No, Oh, you're right. And the bottom line is which
you're also driving out of the state. They're driving into
early retirement or all other people who can't get the
ras to state where they particularly medical progress, and again
particularly I think registered nurses who are not seeing the
raises they deserve, who are working shorthanded. You mentioned that

(34:55):
certainly the police are, but the nurses are working shorthanded
because a lot of people have left because it's more
lucrative even to go into a neighboring state in Connecticut
where Island, New York Hampshire Vermont and work there because
they're less uh, they're less likely to get the type
of you know, the type of pressure you have because
nobody wants to work here, and the hospitals and in

(35:18):
the other states just aren't under the strain, that's say,
particularly in the bust the metro area that we are
seeing because again they're they're not either being reimbursed for
the total cost of what these folks that are charging,
or in many cases, they're not being reimbursed at all.
You know, I can give you an example in Brockton
in my area. You know, they get a tummy ache,

(35:40):
they call the they call the the fire department. They
have to take them to the emergency room. Okay, those
people go in front of everyone who's been waiting there,
and not only is the cost of the fire department,
of course, but it's the cost of the hospital all
not reimbursed.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Dave, I got to ask you, you're completely right, not
as I like to say, not one hundred one thousand
percent correct. You know you mentioned an illegal alien gets
a tummy ache whatever, they got a stomach virus, whatever,
and so they call the fire department or wherever, the
ambulance whatever, and they get picked up and they're taken
to the hospital, and you're right, they're put ahead of

(36:18):
everybody else. Why they don't just drive them to the
hospital and say wait in line like everybody else. You're right,
they put them to the front of the line. Why
what's your theory on that.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Well, that's protocol, Jeff. I mean if typically someone coming
in an ambulance will come in and they get looked
at right away. But I can tell you, and it's
a cliche, but it's true. Again. I don't want to
say the name of the hospital, but it's right down
where near where I live. And you'll see, you know,
these these typically the widows of these veterans. They're just

(36:55):
older widows sitting there waiting their turn. And there'll be dozens,
in dozens of people who have recent arrivals, let's call them,
and they're just sitting there having a great time, waiting
for whatever. And they're in front of it. And you'll
have people now waiting for hours. So I know you
because I heard you made reference to it. The gentleman

(37:15):
from Los Angeles who were on the other side, was
referencing the fact that nobody was in the highway and
nobody was in the in the waiting room where we
see the reverse here everyone's in the highway, all three
hundred thousand plus of them. I think it's significantly more,
but three hundred thousand plus of them in the state
and of course straining our medical system. And that's the
only point I want to make.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
You're dead on, Dave. Thank you very much for that call. No,
they're bankrupting. Look, I thought John Featherston hit the nail
on the head. Heally has destroyed Massachusetts. Period. She's bankrupting Massachusetts,
and she's bankrupting the healthcare system on top of the
welfare system, the healthcare system, the whole state is being
bankrupted fundamentally. That's what she's doing. What they're doing in

(38:00):
Massachusetts is what they did under Biden across the entire country.
And they're still doing it in the Blue states. And
just to add one key point COVID. Never forget what
they did during COVID. How many excellent nurses, pop notch
nurses who were heroes at the height of the pandemic

(38:21):
when there was no so called vaccine and I put
vaccine in air quotes. Okay, the job, there was no job.
They worked on the COVID wards and saved I don't
know how many lives and risk getting COVID themselves. But
then when they refused to take the job. So it
was fine at the height of the pandemic, but then
suddenly they were forced to take the job, and when

(38:44):
many of them said no, my body might choice, they
got fired. They got treated like dogs. Now you would
even treat a dog the way they treated these poor
nurses and others. I'm not saying it was just nurses,
but that also led to an acute nurse and nursing shortage.
So that's another big problem in this state. Six one,

(39:06):
seven two, six six sixty eight, sixty eight. Okay, let
me do a quick reset. I want to take all
of your calls big expose, yes in the Boston Globe.
By the way, the expose was done by the Globe
to show that they need more money.
