Speaker 3 (00:26):
You good morning, Jeff? I am good. Retirement should be
about peace of mind, but too often people head into
it carrying silent risks like running out of money, market drops,
healthcare cost, or waiting too long to plan. At Kelly

plans that reduce and bring real peace of mind. That's
why I wrote Retire Your Fear, Plan Your Future, a

thirty five Now on the Great WRKO Jeff Cooner, Boston's Bulldozer,
Debbie in the Great State of New Hampshire, the Freedom State,
Live Free or Die. Thanks for holding Debbie and welcome.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Hi, Jeff. I just had a thought. I know that
you're probably tight with the President or you know some
people in his part his his administration. That analogy that
you made him going to actink free, housing, free, food, free, healthcare, free, free, free, free.
Why can't somebody go on TV and hold a press
conference and say the same exact thing that you did.
(02:50):
I mean, it's so I work for an attorney and
it's like he always says, keep it simple, stupid. It's
such a common sense thing for people to hear and go, please.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Talk, Debbie, say no crap, no, no whatever. Please just
don't swear, Debbie, because you're gonna that's technically considered profanity.
And anyway, So I know they the libs get away
with it all the time. They do it on the
broadcast networks, but I can't on cable news. They're always
(03:20):
using the S word. Just say no excrement, no poop,
no crap, but please Debbie. Continue.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
So basically the public should have, you know, hold a
news conference and actually have people hear that common sense analogy,
and they'll be like, no kidding. I mean they would
kick ourselves so fast our heads would spin. I think
they just need to hear something that simple, that common sense.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, I can just tell you this, Debbie. Stephen Miller
makes this point over and over and over again. He does.
He lays it down, lays it out, forgive me, puts
it down the way I do. But he's an exciting
I agree with you. I don't know why it's not
that complicated, you know, it really isn't. And you know,
(04:08):
even here in Massachusetts, you've got Republicans now running to
be governor to challenge Mori Heally, and there's so many
ways you could attack her that would attract independence many
disaffected Democrats. She's extremely vulnerable. They refuse to do it,
(04:28):
and really, Debbie, Ultimately, it's a question of will, and
it's a question of intelligence, and most people think that
they have to. It's a sign of insecurity. You know,
when you say your lawyer that you work for says,
keep it simple, stupid. Keeping it simple is actually a
sign of self confidence. You don't need to show someone
(04:52):
you're intelligent by using big words, fancy language, complex jargon.
But in Washington, and I'm telling you having it for
ten years, politicians are the most insecure people you will
ever ever meet. In fact, I have a theory. It's
not original. A lot of people have said this, but
(05:13):
when I look at a politician, nine times out of ten,
there's a few exceptions, but nine times out of ten
you can tell they're running for office, not because they
care or they want to give back or quote unquote
public service. You can tell they have a personal issue.
You can see it on them. I don't know. Mommy issues,
(05:36):
daddy issues are profound, insecurity, whatever it is. But they're
dealing with complexes, inadequacies, insecurities, and they think that somehow,
by winning elective office and getting that kind of public validation,
that those insecurities will go away. It doesn't. It doesn't.
(05:59):
I'm telling you, it just doesn't. And so to compensate,
they'll try to, you know, seem very smart. They'll try
to use words that people don't understand. Nobody talks like them,
and so they think, well, if I use the bigger
the word, the more jargon I put in, the smarter
I'll come across. I'm like, no, you're not coming across
(06:20):
as profound, You're coming across as obscure. You're really you're
you're confusing people. People don't understand what you're saying, and
you come across like a real phony. And if you notice,
the key to Trump's success, he's comfortable in his own skin.
I mean really, in life, it just comes down to this.
(06:42):
He's comfortable in his own skin, and he'll talk simply,
and by talking simply, he talks effectively because everybody understands
what he's saying, and he says what he means, and
he means what he says. But no, Debbie, you're completely right.
For the life of me, Miller, I know Steve Bannon
who's not part of the administration, but Steve Bannon is
(07:04):
very good at this. He will lay it out. Here's
what illegals get, bang bang bang bang? Is that right?
Is that just? Is that fair? But people in the administration, no,
they they have to give a speech and it just
it doesn't work. It goes over people's heads. People get
you know, people are like, what is he saying? What? Like,
(07:27):
you're making it too complicated. It's not that complex an issue.
It really isn't. So Look, you're right. I'm a big
believer in speak clearly, speak, simply speak frankly six one
seven directly six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight. Ray in Virginia, the Commonwealth. Thanks for holding
(07:53):
Ray and welcome.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Hey, Jeff Log time Log time. You lost the stake
to me many years ago, Hillary Clinton, I'll bet you
a stake to a hot dog will reelect Horray Healey
Massachusetts has terminal cancer.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Ray. I can't take that betman, because you're gonna win.
You'll win the hot dog, you'll win the steak, You'll
win the whole thing. I'm afraid you're right. I'm afraid
you're right. Ray. Let me ask you this, and I
know this is pie in the sky, but if you
could just indulge me, Ray, say we had a good, decent, honest,
(08:38):
serious Republican candidate who would really prosecute a case against
Heally and would run a good tough campaign and would
just lay out how she's destroyed our state simply, clearly, effectively,
no apologies. Would that give you hope that maybe she's beatable?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
No chands. Why I told you I'll bet your two steaks,
so I talk?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No? No, I Ray, Ray, you're winning to bet my friend?
Uh but no, Ray, Why is it you're saying, even
if you have a great Republican candidate the moon there's
just too many moonbats? Is that what you're saying? There's
too many crazy left wing lunatics in this state? Correct, Mike.
(09:33):
You can't let the guy answer, Mike. Jeez, you know, Mike,
I worry about you, really, I wonder about you sometimes. Ray.
Please hang on, I want to come back, get your answer,
and we'll take all of your so Ray says it's.
