8
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:26,799
Monday, May fifteen, twenty twenty
three, and I'm not alone. Jenny

9
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:30,640
is here at the news desk.
I am present, yes, yes for

10
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,400
today, Yes, that's right.
I shall not be present tomorrow, that's

11
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,480
right. Yes, Well we'll talk
about that. By the way. That

12
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,319
song that we opened with, Welcome
to De Santis, that is the new

13
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:45,719
Randy Rainbow song. He love Randy
Rainbow. And what I also love is

14
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,319
when you know, I have to
um when I when he has a new

15
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,920
song that I don't. I don't
play all of them that he releases because

16
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:55,760
sometimes, you know, the videos
that go with them are really really cool,

17
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:01,239
but sometimes it's almost so much more
of a visual experience that it's like

18
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:05,760
without the video. Sometimes the song
doesn't quite work, but in this case

19
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:08,479
it did. But the video is
great too. But but what I particularly

20
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:12,199
loved about this one was I only
had to bleep a couple of things when

21
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,360
I make a radio edit of it
so I can play it on the air.

22
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:16,879
Yeah, because I usually realized at
the last minute, as we're about

23
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:20,039
to go on the air that,
oh, there's a new Randy Rainbow song.

24
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,560
But yeah, I only had to
put a couple and actually in both

25
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,919
instances they were they were things that
I probably could have let slip through and

26
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,240
wouldn't have been a problem. There
there were sort of in the gray zone

27
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,800
of of of bad words. Um, there's some that are obvious and then

28
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,879
there's some that are kind of in
the gray zone. But uh, you

29
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,039
know, I I it is afternoon
drive. Of course, it's not like

30
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,759
we're on in the evening, so
it's like, yeah, better to play

31
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:47,960
it safe. But uh, but
that that was a quick, easy edit.

32
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,759
That one was funny. You know
that one was really funny. Yes,

33
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:57,120
Yes, I enjoyed that tremendously.
Coming up in the second hour.

34
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:00,800
Today, we have a Frankie Boy
and the Blues Express to have the name

35
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,280
correct, a long name. They're
gonna be coming in studio, they're gonna

36
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,560
play, They're gonna play live for
us in the second hours, So do

37
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,319
a live really looking forward to that. Yes, so this is a week

38
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,960
for you. Yes, Yes,
it's very busy. We've got a lot

39
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,840
going on. Tomorrow we have Oberon
am I saying the name correctly up,

40
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,879
Yes, banned from Italy skyping in. I was playing some of their music

41
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:25,159
earlier. Might play something of theirs
at the break today actually because we don't

42
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:29,280
have any studio tracks from Frankie Boy
because they're gonna come in and play live

43
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:31,520
for us. But I do have
a studio tracks for Oberon. I really

44
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,159
like them. Um. And then
on the second hour we have Frank Laffey.

45
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,319
Is that his name? Yes?
Now where is he from? I

46
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:44,840
forget? Yeah, but he's okay, that's all right. But he is

47
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:50,039
a he is a candidate of sorts. He is a candidate for presidents.

48
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,199
He's running for president. He's a
Republican right former mayor of Cranston Well,

49
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,039
Rhode Island, Rhode Island. Yes, that's the last office he held.

50
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,439
Was mayor of Cranston. He served
as mayor of Cranston from two thousand and

51
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,280
three to two thousand and seven.
So he's doing a Mayor Pete. He's

52
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,120
trying to go right from mayor to
president. I think so, except he's

53
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,520
a Republican, so he probably is. Uh that's probably the only thing he

54
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,399
has in common with Mayor Pete.
But a graduate of Harvard Business. But

55
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,519
he is, so he is in
the in the race. So I must

56
00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:27,120
remember when I mentioned some of Trump's
competitors, if you will, like ron

57
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,079
To de Santis and Tim Scott,
Nikki Haley potentially Mike Pence. H Well,

58
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:36,560
the Santis is technically still potential.
I should also mention this gentleman's name,

59
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,399
Frank Laffey. Yes, or we
will see. We will see after

60
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,040
our easy to be a candidate New
Hampshire. We'll see after our discussion tomorrow

61
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:50,319
if he is worthy of me mentioning
him in the conversation. After that,

62
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:59,800
we'll see what is going on.
Oh sorry, what there was some extraneous

63
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,360
audio there that started that I did
not anticipate. But no, I look

64
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,240
forward to meeting him. Uh.
You know the last time I talked to

65
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:15,480
a Republican presidential candidate who was challenging
Trump for the nomination was of course,

66
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,639
Uh tells his name, now,
the kookie guy there, boot on the

67
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:26,279
head, No, no, that's
Vermin Supreme. No. Um uh,

68
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:30,319
he's a senior with the secret documents, the guy with the secrecy. He

69
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:33,199
a weird guy that walked in like
the live broadcasting. Yeah, he had

70
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,000
a history of doing that. Yeah, Stephen Comley Senior. Oh, Stephen

71
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,959
Comley Senior, this guy in that
category, Well, who knows. I

72
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,199
mean we you know, I might
meet him tomorrow and who knows. But

73
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,759
no, from what you showed me
of him online, he seems more conventional,

74
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:51,040
shall we say. But yeah,
Stephen Colmley Senior, Now he was

75
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:56,399
in the secret documents before we even
knew that this was a thing. Uh.

76
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,639
And newer listeners won't know the history. But Stephen Comley Senior, you

77
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,680
scum on the show You've been on
a number of times. Actually like the

78
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,199
guy personally. But but he came
in with an envelope, actually two envelopes

79
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,800
of secret documents pertaining to the Seabrook
Nuclear Power Plant. One envelope was for

80
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,160
myself, which, as you know, to this day, I sleep with

81
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:19,959
under the pillow to protect the secret
documents. Of course I do. And

82
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,920
uh, you never know, he
might be listening. I don't want him

83
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,800
to send somebody after me if he
thinks that the secret documents have been you

84
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,360
know, dispersed. And of course, the other the other envelope of secret

85
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:34,639
documents was for Peter White, of
course, was the Morning Show with Peter

86
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,160
White. He put them in the
circular Well. Yes, from what I

87
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,279
understand, he filed them promptly somewhere
no one will ever go looking for them.

88
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,240
So perhaps he was the wiser of
the two of us. And I

89
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,560
believe e zg is on the line. Hello, sir, Yes, hello,

90
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,519
I remember the story deposit in the
circular file. Yes, Now do

91
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,800
you now what about your friend Bruce? Do you trust him with secret documents?

92
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,560
Because I absolutely wouldn't. I don't
know. I don't know about that

93
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,240
one. I have a feeling that
you deposited them in the circle of the

94
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,079
file, two of them, Matt, No, I actually did not.

95
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:13,720
That was years ago. Come on, Okay, I don't really sleep with

96
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:15,240
him under my pillow, but I
do think they might be. I do

97
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,759
think they might be in my office
somewhere. But I'm embarrassed, abmit that

98
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,639
I voted for dummy because I was
gonna vote for a little dummy. No

99
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,360
he's he's in the Hawaii but I
changed my my voting and you can't do

100
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,199
it at the polling place. He's
an I said, well, who can

101
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,759
I vote for it? So for
that guy, he's a nice man.

102
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:40,959
That was dumb. He's a nice
man. He's just a little confused.

103
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,680
I should have vote with somebody else. I could have vote for Donald Duck.

104
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,920
I do have a great memory of
him, though it was it really

105
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,279
had more to do with Peter than
with him, because it was that when

106
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:54,800
we did the primary coverage, when
U so that it was Peter, myself

107
00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:58,560
and some other people, and when
it was time for the twenty twenty New

108
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Hampshire primary, and Stephen Conley Senior
comes and sits down with us, and

109
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Peter was was doing something. He
was trying to fix something technical, uh,

110
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,040
for for almost the entire time that
Stephen Conley was there, And so

111
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,519
I'm sitting there with the guy talking
to him, and the entire time I'm

112
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,519
like watching Peter out of the corner
of my eye because I'm trying to figure

113
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,839
out if there was if he was
legitimately legitimately trying to fix something or if

114
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:30,560
he was just avoiding having to interact
with mister Connley because he didn't he I

115
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,360
don't. I don't think Peter found
him as uh as engaging as I did.

116
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,559
But I turned down. Yeah he
was the last time. Last time

117
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,720
he called the show, he said, well, kind of doing my show

118
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,960
right now because you called me back, and it's like, yeah, I

119
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,720
don't think he was a big fan
of that, that guy. Yeah.

120
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,080
Fortunately, Yeah, it turned out
I don't want to think for Peter or

121
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,440
anything. But no, No,
Well, because I asked Peter afterward,

122
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600
and in fact, I think I
asked him right on the air. I

123
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,200
said, were you were you really
trying to fix that that old time?

124
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,080
Were you just avoiding him? And
no, it turned out he actually was

125
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,399
legitimately trying to fix something. He
wasn't. Uh he was, he was

126
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:09,759
not avoiding mister Conley. Uh.
Had he intentionally avoided mister Conley, he

127
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:16,399
might have missed out on that Manila
envelope of secret documents. Yeah. Yeah,

128
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,759
I think I'm more pressing us is
um. Well, the thing about

129
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,039
the debt limit, that's a that's
a little more important than Stephen Conway.

130
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,919
Oh my god, that is extraordinarily
together here. You know, yes,

131
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,320
yes, I think they'reventually they will, but until they do, while a

132
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:39,200
little never wrecking. Um yeah,
I hope. So there's only like four

133
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,840
working days left where both the House
and Senate are in session. Um yeah,

134
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:50,039
this is pretty nuts, I think. Uh, I don't know.

135
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,039
I'm trying to be optimists. Four
days at the end of the month,

136
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,840
four working days we're both the I
believe we're both House and Senate are in

137
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,480
session unless they do something. God, now, they could do a last

138
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,000
so they're not going to out.
They could do uh, they could do

139
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:11,279
a last minute temporary suspension of the
debt ceiling. They've done that before.

140
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,559
Um as like a last minute thing. They could also you know, I

141
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,159
was telling Jenny on the way here. Sam Seeder of the Majority Report is

142
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,440
absolutely convinced that this is all a
non issue. Not that not that it

143
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,120
wouldn't be catastrophic to default, it
absolutely would, But he's convinced that Biden

144
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,200
can invoke the fourteenth Amendment. Apparently, Lawrence Stribe wrote a column talking about

145
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,200
that, saying that that there would
be absolutely no so the Fourteenth Amendment to

146
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,519
the Constitution. It addresses a number
of things, but one of them is

147
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,279
that the United States. Well,
unfortunately it doesn't say this quite clearly.

148
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:50,480
It's a little murky, but it
seems to imply. This is why it

149
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,000
would be a constitutional crisis. It
seems to imply that the that the United

150
00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:01,360
States government cannot default. So if
that's true, then, uh, then

151
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:07,039
the deat ceiling is unconstitutional and therefore
it can be ignored. If Biden chooses

152
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,840
to go that route. The only
problem is it would likely be challenged in

153
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:16,600
court. But but Sam Seater says, it's uh that that's nonsense. But

154
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:22,360
I hope we don't have to find
out. Oh I know, I'll be

155
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,919
good. Obviously that would be very
very bad. Obviously, uh, probably

156
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,879
be the end of the American economy
as we know it. And I don't

157
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,200
I wish, I know, yeah, I need eventually can figure out what

158
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:37,519
couldn't they pass on kind of law
that they don't have to do this anymore,

159
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:43,559
always play this game, they will
deparm maybe we won't saying, you

160
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,759
know, even happen anymore. Even
Mitch McConnell has in the past suggested that

161
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,639
just get rid of the yes it
would, They would be very wise.

162
00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:56,879
It's it's worried about other problems,
so we don't have to have this artificially

163
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,480
created crisis every couple of year years. Yes, that would be the wise,

164
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,720
right, you said. When Donald
Trump was prisent, he tried to

165
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:07,320
fix it. Right. Then,
he tried to fix that method with the

166
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,159
debt limit. It's not that he
tried to fix it. When Trump was

167
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:15,440
president, the debt limit was raised
three times and Trump was to his credit

168
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,240
at the time, Trump was very
clear and consistent on this that we do

169
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,399
not use the debt limit as a
negotiating wedge. Ever, it's reckless and

170
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:28,399
stupid and much too dangerous, and
we don't do it. Unfortunately. Uh.

171
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,080
During his town hall on CNN,
he announced his new position, which

172
00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:37,039
is, yeah, default probably won't
happen because the Democrats will cave. But

173
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,440
if it does, that's fine.
Probably better to just go ahead and default

174
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,519
it. It'll be bad for a
day or a week, and then who

175
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,480
knows, it's probably fine. It's
all psychological anyway. Um, that's his

176
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:52,759
new position, which is that's very
bad. I don't that that might be

177
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:00,200
a bigger disqualifier than January sixth in
terms of his being elected president, of

178
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,559
his fitness for the presidency. In
my view, it's like it's like a

179
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:05,919
new nuclear war, you know,
the process sense one here, we send

180
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,360
one dare and it's like that's not
good either, because that's pretty much the

181
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:13,759
end of the end of time.
Yes, well we're we're uh, we're

182
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:16,559
on the verge of an economic army
gaddon of sorts. Yes, very exciting.

183
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,320
Can't wait? Oh yeah, certainly
not good. If that was to

184
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,960
happen, and what under Bride his
watch, he wouldn't uh, he'd be

185
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,960
a lot of trouble. Well,
let's look at it this way. You

186
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,919
know, we had a good round, a good couple hundred years of America.

187
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,080
You know, we'll just uh yeah, Rome has to fall at some

188
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,639
point. We'll just go ahead and
uh uh drive the car off the cliff

189
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,120
like Russia there with the war.
Now they've destroyed their economy, that's for

190
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,840
sure. There's a lot of mixed
reporting on that. Oh really, all

191
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:50,360
right, Well this de fall wouldn't
help anybody anywhere, correct, correct,

192
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,279
Yes, I don't think it's gonna
happen, by the way, but the

193
00:13:54,559 --> 00:14:01,879
making it very uh making everybody,
are you nervous? For nothing. Really.

194
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Oh, Melanie Liberty in the chat
room is asking if they tried throwing

195
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,080
a virgin into a volcano to fix
the budget, just saying it's worth a

196
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:15,000
try. Uh, that would be
I will say this, that would be

197
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,600
very patriotic for said virgin to make
such a sacrifice as that to save the

198
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:24,000
economy of the country. I would
applaud that. Yeah, so let's let's

199
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,480
hope for the best. And uh, do we have a vol around together?

200
00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:31,399
Only four days left and working the
rest of the month out together,

201
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,120
because, like I said, that
would be worse. Is there a volcano?

202
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,360
Definitely? And it would have to
be an active volcano? Yeah,

203
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,720
yeah, yeah, all right,
well, I think eventually every goal,

204
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:46,639
but they probably wait till last minute, like they're doing all this crazy,

205
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,320
crazy world of politics. Jesus got
them. Yeah, I think it would

206
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,039
have to be an American volcano.
Oh all right, you asked my two

207
00:14:56,039 --> 00:14:58,399
cents. We'll talk to you guys
later. We'll throw Bruce in, all

208
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,000
right, thanks, easyg. I
guess something to say about the I think

209
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,600
the debt. Bruce is a virgin. I'm sorry. Yes, you are

210
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:09,840
horrible, Bruce. You're just an
evil dude. Bruce is an insell.

211
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,879
No one wants to say it,
but there it is. I'm sorry,

212
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,120
yes, go ahead, Oh my
god, an in cell. I must

213
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:18,120
be heading out with Stephen Crowder and
I wanted to see. What I wanted

214
00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:24,200
to say about the debt limit is
that. What I wanted to say about

215
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,200
the debt limit is that I'm really
sick and tired of listening to Republicans.

216
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,480
I'd like them to actually walk the
walk that they're talking about, because you

217
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:35,600
know, they love to constantly say, we're not going to vote in favor

218
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,519
of the debt limit until we see
some spending cuts. Well, why in

219
00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:41,559
the heck did they never come from
them? Right? Why am I not

220
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:46,480
hearing Congress go, gee, we
need to make sure that nobody's so security

221
00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:48,519
checks don't get out, and I'm
military don't get out, So we'll cut

222
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,960
our salary. Or how about cutting
their Cadillac health insurance? Right? How

223
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,759
about cutting matt They never offer up
themselves to make a cut. You're all

224
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:02,879
about cutting the budget, buddies,
Well let's cut the budget. Let's start

225
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,440
with you. Well, there's a
lot of blame to go around too,

226
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,799
because um, you know, I
was I was thinking about I don't remember

227
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,600
if I said this specifically on the
show, but I think I think I

228
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,840
got into it a little bit.
But um, on the as far as

229
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:22,000
the Democrats go, you know,
they they passed all this new spending,

230
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:25,679
and um, some of it I
think is important. You know, it's

231
00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:27,559
hard to argue against infrastructure and things
like that, and some of it maybe

232
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,240
not so much because you know,
this this pork in there there always is.

233
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:36,440
But um, for them to pass
all all this news spending that they've

234
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,000
passed under under bid and like the
Inflation Reduction Act and so forth, to

235
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:48,279
do all this there's there and not
even try when they had control to do

236
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,639
something about the debt limit. I
don't even mean get rid of it.

237
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:55,000
They could have raised it then ahead
of time. Um, you know I

238
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,919
understand, Uh, you know they
don't. I guess Democrats can't see around

239
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,599
corners very well. I have no
idea what their issue is because you know,

240
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,039
I mean, jeeus with the Dabb's
decision, like we knew way in

241
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,200
advance because of that draft document that
leaked out of the Supreme Court, but

242
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:15,319
did But you know, they can't
be bothered to actually do anything until reality

243
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:21,519
shows up on their doorsteps. So
with this, it's like they pass all

244
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:25,960
this spending and I guess it doesn't
occur to anybody. Maybe we should raise

245
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:29,759
the debt limit now, because if
the Republicans are in control, all this

246
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,799
new spending we passed is either going
to have to get pulled in order for

247
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:34,200
them to pay the debt, for
them to raise a debt limit, or

248
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,480
we're gonna have a problem. There's
there's no excuse for the Democrats not to

249
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:42,000
have seen all of this coming,
and they should have addressed it. And

250
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,640
I understand, you know, they're
probably going, oh, well, then

251
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,720
we have to convince h Kirsten Cinema
and Joe Mansion and that's really hard.

252
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,559
But there's this is just as much
their fault. They should not have allowed

253
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,480
any of this to come to pass. But we do have a call.

254
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,400
Hi, welcome to Matt Connor and
unleash. Who's this? Hello? Is

255
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,759
this match? Pizza? I know? Uh for it to be mad like

256
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:15,119
one large pepperoni pizza, extra pepperoni
and extra cheese. Please. Well that

257
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,640
does sound good. I'd like that
too. I kind of like I could

258
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,480
get a pizza for us tonight,
pizza for dinner. Yeah? Good?

259
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:27,240
How much. How much it depends. You get a cheap one and this

260
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,559
doctor it up. I think they're
like two dollars at little Little Caesar's.

261
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:40,039
That's really cheap. How we get
Hawaiian too, one large Hawaiian extra the

262
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,079
pineapple, the uh, we'll throw
it in the volcano with the virgin No

263
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:51,920
I love and the pepperoni. But
we we're talking about okay, well,

264
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:53,799
very nice, and now we have
Now I want pizza. No, I'm

265
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,920
all hungry. Pepperoni and pineapple pizza. No, no, no, disgusting.

266
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,920
How dare you? How dare you? I'll have to get some pineapple

267
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,519
when you got a gusty start to
go out to pizza. What I always

268
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:08,799
say is this, if you're going
to have a pizza, you should only

269
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:12,799
have delicious toppings. You should not
put any disgusting toppings on it. If

270
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:17,200
you put disgusting toppings on the pizza, it makes the pizza disgusting. If

271
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,599
you want the pizza to me delicious, you have to stick with delicious toppings.

272
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:22,640
That's I mean, what do I
know? I mean, I'm not

273
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,039
I don't cook, as you know, but I think I heard Jeff Gordon

274
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,160
Ramsey say that once the pizza should
only have delicious toppings. Never put anything

275
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,759
disgusting on your pizza, which is
why pepperoni belongs there now right, it

276
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:38,480
does belong there? Yes, yeah, on pizza, yes, yes,

277
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,319
So back to what we were talking
about though, in seriousness, in all

278
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,200
seriousness, yeah, are congressional critters. There are budgets up the wazoo for

279
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:52,319
these people. They got staff up
the wazoo. Cut your staff. We've

280
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,839
got little health club pool things,
whatever the heck they got cut that.

281
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,640
Cut things like that that don't actually
save a life, or don't put food

282
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,119
on the table, you know,
let's cut that. Why do they never

283
00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:07,079
offer up anything like that? The
minute they talk about cuts, What do

284
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,480
they want to cut Social Security?
What do they want to cut veterans affairs?

285
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:14,799
You know, because that's the money
that gets hung up. That's the

286
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:19,279
money that gets cut. If they
want to cut wick, which which helps

287
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:25,640
pregnant women who they claim to support, actually have healthy food. It only

288
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,000
covers specific foods they want to cut
that, right, And that's like eggs,

289
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:37,400
milk, butter, not butter,
it's but it's all healthy food.

290
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,920
You can have carrots, things like
that, and then after the baby's born,

291
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,119
you can keep eating healthy if you're
breastfeeding, or if you're gonna go

292
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,359
to formula, it switches over and
stets covering formula. So this is a

293
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,240
basic food item for the baby that
they want. Brought every baby into this

294
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,599
world, no matter what, even
if it's a cell dividing, they want

295
00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:59,480
it into this world. But they
don't want to feed it. They don't

296
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,200
want to feed it. They don't
want to give them medical care because we

297
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,240
get to cut that too. I
mean, I can remember seeing arguments up

298
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:12,240
and conquered on how the state was
cutting the local hospitals. Yeah, on

299
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:18,599
the money that they get to help
pay for the uninsured. You know,

300
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:25,839
the cuts never come from places that
don't hurt the average American. It never

301
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,960
comes from them. Well, there
are there are things, uh, And

302
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,200
I don't want to spend too much
time on this because I want to talk

303
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,480
about what you're doing tomorrow before before
we run out of time, because we

304
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:37,880
do have a guest coming in second
hour by um. But it's important.

305
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,359
But but there are I mean,
you know, as far as climbing back

306
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,920
some unspent COVID money and things like
that, I think that's perfectly reasonable.

307
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:52,480
Um. I'm just worried that.
UM the budget, the initial budget,

308
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:56,359
and I understand it's part of a
negotiating. It's it's it's part of negotiating.

309
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,519
You know, you ask for more
than you're than you know you're going

310
00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:02,200
to get. UM. The initial
budget that the Republicans passed in the House.

311
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,640
Moody's Analytics, hardly a liberal operation
by any stretch, said that that

312
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:15,640
budget would would cost UH just an
enormous I can't even remember the numbers,

313
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,279
but I'm not going to remember in
specific numbers, but what it would do

314
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:22,920
significant damage to the economy. UM. You know, austerity in and of

315
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:29,200
itself is not the answer necessarily.
So UM, I wonder how many people

316
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:34,759
were like me and or don't exactly
get it because I didn't exactly. Polling

317
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:38,440
data shows there's a lot of people
who don't get it. We talk,

318
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,240
well, we're talking about this,
We're talking about funding the paychecks of our

319
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:48,720
military soldiers, We're talking about Social
Security checks. This is the funding we're

320
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,599
talking about to raise the debt limit. The debt is the debt ode to

321
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,960
the American people that were contracted to
the American people. You pay in these

322
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,440
taxes and then you get this back
well, part of the part of the

323
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,119
reason, and I know I mentioned
I'd said this on the on the show

324
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,839
recently too, is part of the
reason why polling data shows most Americans don't

325
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,799
get it, they have no idea. But part of that I believe,

326
00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:18,359
I firmly believe this is because Americans
have become desensitized. They because you know,

327
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,119
unless unless you're really paying attention to
the issue and learn about it,

328
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:26,279
people think that, you know,
they hear about this stuff, and they

329
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:29,079
if they're only half paying attention,
they think it's just you know, we're

330
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:33,200
gonna have another government shutdown, and
government shutdowns actually take a terrible toll on

331
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,480
the economy too. But when there's
a government shutdown because they can't agree on

332
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:38,359
a budget, you know, it's
temporary. Everyone knows it's temporary. It

333
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480
might be a day, it might
be a week, it might be a

334
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,759
month, but you know it will
end eventually, and the you know,

335
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:48,200
the parks will open back the state
parks will open back up again, and

336
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,079
you know this and that. So
um so I think that the average American

337
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,480
who's only half paid attention, they're
hearing all this and they're like, oh,

338
00:23:56,519 --> 00:23:59,480
there's going to be another government shutdown
now whatever, it doesn't really affect

339
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,440
me. They have no idea that
this is something different because they've become desensitized

340
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,640
to this because we've been through so
many government shutdowns. They don't know that

341
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,880
the debt limit is actually a separate
issue and it's far far more serious.

342
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:18,640
They think that we're borrowing money in
order to fund specific programs. Or you

343
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,720
want to build a new playground,
they think we're borrowing money to do that,

344
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:25,440
or borrowing They don't realize that when
we talk about it, we're actually

345
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:30,880
talking about basically paychecks of Americans,
well, but paying for money that's already

346
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,359
been spent too, And when you
say that, it means for bills that

347
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,519
have already been right. We know
how many people are on Social Security.

348
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:41,079
We estimate how much it's going to
be next year. We know that the

349
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,559
number of people on Social Security disability
have increased because people are living longer.

350
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:49,200
People don't die at forty anymore.
People are living to be a centurion isn't

351
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:52,960
unheard of at all anymore. I
remember when it was weird to hear somebody

352
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,240
living to be one hundred. Now
it's normal. Now it's weird if you

353
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,200
hear somebody that's one hundred and fifteen
or one hundred and sixteen. I think

354
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,680
eventually we'll probably elect a hundred year
old president. It might be Biden at

355
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,359
this rate. Well, no,
he's not that old. I don't want

356
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,920
him to run. Must we amend
the concert. I don't want either one

357
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,079
of them nor run. I want
new people, fresh blood, new ideas.

358
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,319
No, No, that's that ship
has sailed. We're just going to

359
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,759
keep electing older and older people.
It's gonna be great. I just want

360
00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:27,279
to cry in this moment. That's
all I'm gonna say. Someday we're going

361
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,440
to have a president who they're gonna
be given the State of the Union address

362
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,480
while wearing a bib. Stop it. It's gonna be great. Stop it.

363
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,839
That's where we're at it. That's
what's It's gonna be wonderful. You

364
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,160
know, after we've defaulted on it, after we've defaulted on our debt and

365
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,200
uh, nobody gets a check next
month. America mamma doesn't have any food.

366
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,960
America's in ruins, and people on
disability or we'll have a getting kicked

367
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,039
out of their apartment. We'll have
a one hundred year old president presiding over

368
00:25:56,079 --> 00:26:00,400
everything. It'll be great. Yeah, we'll I'll be homeless anyway. Well,

369
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:06,400
yes, let's talk about let's talking
about something positive. Let's tell us,

370
00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:08,519
tell us again about what you're doing
tomorrow. I'm going to DC,

371
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,920
Yes, yes, by invitation.
Actually, as a lot of our listeners

372
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,440
know and maybe some people out there
who don't know, we have been waging

373
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,440
a war, a campaign against United
Healthcare my health insurance, to try and

374
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,720
get them to cover life in life
saving life important things that I have to

375
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,720
have, medications, treatments, things
that they just never ever seemed to pay.

376
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:34,680
And you can talk to him,
Hugh Blue in the face, but

377
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,240
you don't always get anyway. So
I have People's Action, which is a

378
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:45,000
national organization encompasses about forty or so
organizations themselves, and New Hampshire Rights and

379
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:48,240
Democracy took up my case and have
been fighting for me, and we have

380
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,720
had some wins. But in doing
all of this, there's been some attention

381
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:56,279
brought on to what we're doing,
and I've been invited to come out to

382
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,319
DC and go to Senator m Bernie
Sanders town hall on Medicare for All,

383
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,079
which is something that I have one
percent, wholeheartedly believe in now, but

384
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,119
it took me a bit to learn
more, to get more information. But

385
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,640
what I'd know for a fact,
and I think most Americans would probably agree,

386
00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:21,000
as the American healthcare system is in
dire straits and needs some serious changing,

387
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:26,319
serious changing. I'm personally sick and
tired of insurance companies getting in the

388
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:32,000
way of people getting appropriate care.
I'm tired of seeing people with CRPS commits

389
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,839
suicide because they can't get access to
life saving treatments. I'm done with us.

390
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,240
When I was younger, I used
to think that we could fix our

391
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:42,039
system, you know, maybe we
could fix the insurances, have a compact,

392
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,319
maybe you could buy healthcareans across the
state line or something. Can't do

393
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,000
that anymore. Medicare for All is
really the only way that we're going to

394
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:55,079
have true medical freedom. And the
reason I say that is because right now

395
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,240
between you and your doctor is your
health insurance company, your private insurance company,

396
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,240
Blue Cross, Blue Shield, United
Healthcare, signa, Etna, whatever,

397
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,480
this tons of them out there,
and their sole job is to make

398
00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:14,000
profit for themselves, profit for their
stockholders. My company, United Healthcare celebrated

399
00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:18,880
eight point one billion dollars in first
quarter profits this year. That means three

400
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:26,599
months. First quarter profits means three
months January February March. They made eight

401
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:34,599
point one billion with a B dollars. Meanwhile, people like me have their

402
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:41,000
their treatments turned down, not covered. I mean, it's disgusting. Medical

403
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:47,559
freedom means that my doctors, my
providers, and myself and my family are

404
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,599
making the choices for me. What
needs to be done gets done, no

405
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:55,799
questions asked. You need this medication, you get that medication. You got

406
00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:59,519
a kid that's good type one diabetes, he's got land sets, he's got

407
00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:03,160
a test kid, he's got all
the insulin, and no rationing, because

408
00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:08,480
even at thirty five dollars it's not
enough. People are still rationing, still

409
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:14,599
rationing. This is it's disgusting.
We live in the country that has arguably

410
00:29:14,759 --> 00:29:18,559
some of the best healthcare in the
world. People come from everywhere to come

411
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,920
here because we have the best medical
care you can buy. But as an

412
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,960
American sitting, if you can afford
it, if you can afford it right,

413
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,480
pick any hospital you want, cmc
Elliott whatever, I guarantee you.

414
00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:37,200
There are people living in the houses
next door to those buildings that are suffering,

415
00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:42,559
that are bedbound, that are dying
and the medications or the treatments that

416
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:48,279
could save their lives give them quality
a life are right in that building,

417
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:52,240
locked behind a key that you can't
open unless you've got enough money to do

418
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,680
it. And that's disgusting. In
this we should be able to do the

419
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,400
same thing they do in other countries
they have it. I saw it first

420
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:03,000
in in the Netherlands and it played
a big part of showing me a lot

421
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:08,400
of what can happen with a national
healthcare system that means nobody gets turned away.

422
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:11,559
I don't care who you are,
you show up, you need care,

423
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:17,000
you get the care. You get
the best care that American medicine can

424
00:30:17,119 --> 00:30:21,400
provide. And we invest our dollars
in education, so we have more doctors,

425
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,920
more nurses because we're heading into a
shortage. Yeah, that's something that's

426
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,960
not getting a lot of attention.
That should, especially with nurses. From

427
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,319
what I was reading recently. You
know, my entire career, I have

428
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,880
heard of the nursing shortage and every
year he gets worse. Every year there's

429
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,440
not enough nurses. I've watched it
happen. I mean, we don't have

430
00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:44,240
enough nursing schools for one thing.
Biggs of gotten better since the pandemic.

431
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:47,960
There are some more schools. You
know, it used to be every hospital

432
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,400
pretty much had a nursing program.
All of those things shut down. Then

433
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,119
there were only certain colleges that have
it. So there's only so many places.

434
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,720
I mean, I remember when I
tried to go to nursing school.

435
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:00,480
I was one of a thousand applicants
and only a people made it in and

436
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:03,119
I didn't make the cut. I
only scored an I think it was an

437
00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:07,960
eighty seven on my entrance exam.
Nobody that got in that has less than

438
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,519
a ninety four percent unless they fell
into a special category. Yeah, you

439
00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:15,920
know, we have that looming over
our heads. What makes a difference between

440
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,240
a hospital's level of trauma care is
a number of the kind of doctors they

441
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:25,160
have available. You're trauma center if
you have the right doctors available. But

442
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,200
what we lack neurosurgeons. That's a
big one that keeps hospitals from being able

443
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,319
to be trauma level is neurosurgeons.
We don't have the education system set up

444
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,799
to fill us with the right providers. But we also have a system that's

445
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:44,359
made for profit. It's made for
the profit of these private insurance companies.

446
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,519
You know, let me share this
with you. I have on a medication

447
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,559
that I have to use good Arts
in order to afford. I have five

448
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:56,200
different pharmacies I've used to get my
medications as inexpensively as I can so I

449
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,920
can afford them all. You know, this one medication I get using good

450
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,160
RX at a pharmacy in a grocery
store is forty eight dollars. If I

451
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,000
want to use my health insurance,
it's eighty five dollars. I asked my

452
00:32:10,119 --> 00:32:15,480
insurance company more than once. I
asked for a prior off. I asked

453
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,720
them if they would please change the
tier of my medication down one, just

454
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,279
one, from A three to two, and that would make the medication through

455
00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:29,599
the insurance company forty seven dollars and
my money will count towards my deductible.

456
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,200
Now, this same insurance company admonished
me for using good Rx. Well,

457
00:32:34,279 --> 00:32:37,079
your money doesn't acount for your deductible. But when I asked them to make

458
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:43,160
this adjustment so I can do this, they said no, They'll only let

459
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,480
me use it at the eighty five
dollars marker, and then it'll count towards

460
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:52,119
my deductible. This is about their
profits. You know, we get big

461
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,599
pharma out there. There's a medication
that is making amazing differences for people with

462
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:05,200
rare neurological diseases, people with MS
seeing amazing effects LDN Lotosneltrocson. It's amazing

463
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,759
what it's doing for these diseases.
But they will not cover it, and

464
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:12,960
they say it's because it's on exclusionary
list, or they'll tell you it's not

465
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,279
approved for your disease. In my
case, there's not a single treatment approved

466
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:22,079
for my disease. My insurance company
uses as an excuse this treatment hasn't been

467
00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:27,799
approved by the FDA for the treatment
of CRPS or small fiber neuropathy. Well,

468
00:33:28,119 --> 00:33:31,799
nothing has been approved for the treatment
of CRPS, complex regional pain syndrome,

469
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,160
nothing. Nothing. I'm going to
get to go to I know I'm

470
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,319
rattling on and I shouldn't. I'm
going to get to go to DC and

471
00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:44,359
I'm going to get to sit on
a panel with Senator Standards, with Representative

472
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,200
J. Paul, and with doctors, and we're going to talk about Medicare

473
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,160
for All, a system that would
actually be real medical freedom. There wouldn't

474
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,880
be anybody making decisions for you.
One of the prior ops we put in.

475
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,240
I'm on the phone with the girl
from the insurance make doing it,

476
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,799
and she's like, we're filling out
this form together. She goes okay,

477
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:09,119
and then she's going, right,
so now I'll send it over and then

478
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:13,719
you'll get a response. She no, sooner hit enter. I was still

479
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,920
on the phone with her. Did
I not immediately get a denial notice?

480
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,239
Yeah, because they pulled up the
computer, saw the name of the medication

481
00:34:20,519 --> 00:34:23,599
and denied it. No human being
made that decision, right, No,

482
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:29,280
nobody saw that. We spent an
hour or so working on this thing,

483
00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:32,639
and in two seconds the computer kicked
it out and said, now I'm tired

484
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:38,840
of computers and bureaucrats who know nothing
about I have had more conversations that have

485
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:44,719
been frustrating with these people because they
don't even know what they're talking about.

486
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,800
I'm asking about lymphidima treatment, I'm
asking about compression garments, and there's offering

487
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,639
me stuff that is sold, you
know, at a regular store. It's

488
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,280
not even medical grade. It's not
even the right thing. It's like,

489
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,719
I don't want that, I don't
need that. I need what my doctor

490
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,960
wants to have. Well, this
is what we have, Well, this

491
00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:06,480
is what we have doesn't treat me, and this is what people are going

492
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:09,159
through. I watched recently there was
a story on the news yesterday the day

493
00:35:09,159 --> 00:35:15,760
before a man got emergently ill.
Turned out he had a brain aneurysm that

494
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,039
had not ruptured. They were taking
him in for surgery, and the insurance

495
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:23,920
company refused to approve it because they
said the neurosurgeon was out of network,

496
00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:29,639
and the cancer and the surgery got
canceled. Dud's walking around with a tick

497
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:34,239
and time bomb in his head.
It had. It took a public outcry

498
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,280
to get them to reverse the decision
in the week. I saw later they

499
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:43,440
finally did the surgery and the guy's
okay, but they didn't know if he

500
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:46,599
was gonna be okay, and the
hospital wasn't doing the surgery without payment.

501
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,320
Right, we shouldn't have that happen. Somebody emergently enters, they need surgery,

502
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,760
It should get done. It shouldn't
be a how much is in your

503
00:35:54,760 --> 00:36:00,519
wallet? Now? Is this going
to be on c SPAN or it's going

504
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:04,199
to be broadcast. I know it's
going to be on Senator Sanders Facebook page.

505
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,480
I'm sure it'll go up on his
YouTube page. I know it's going

506
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:12,239
to be broadcast by People's Action as
well. Yeah. I called my mom

507
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,239
for Mother's Day and she was asking
how to watch it. I told her

508
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,639
I'd have to let her know send
her a link afterward. But yeah,

509
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,079
yeah, the Senator Sanders official at
Bernie Sanders Official Facebook page would be the

510
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:28,920
best place to go. The event's
going to start about seven thirty tomorrow night,

511
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,679
and then I am staying because I
will be going up to the Capitol

512
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,559
on Wednesday. The Medicare for All
bill is going to be introduced and there

513
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,519
will be a press conference after it
as well. You know, and I

514
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:45,719
this shouldn't be a Democrat or a
Republican issue at all. This is a

515
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,239
human issue. You know, think
of yourselves, they give your loved ones.

516
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,840
If they need emergent surgery, they
should be able to have it without

517
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:58,840
question. You know, people shouldn't
be going medically bankrupt. How many of

518
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,199
us are living in poverty because of
medication of senses. The number one reason

519
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:07,000
for bankruptcies in the United States is
medical bankruptcy. It's the number one reason.

520
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:09,840
We have a call. Hi,
welcome to Matt Connor to unleash who's

521
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:17,559
this why would you want the government
to pay for Medicare. It's not the

522
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:23,159
government paying. It's not the government
paying in that regard. What well,

523
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,960
let me let me rephrase this.
Let me let me put it to you

524
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:30,119
this way right now. The way
things work is your doctor says you need

525
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,800
X, your insurance has to approve
it, and then the hospital would do

526
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,320
it. If they don't approve it, you don't get it under a national

527
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:43,159
healthcare system, under a Medicare for
all system. If we use Medicare as

528
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:50,159
a as our starting point, and
we develop this USA Medicare or USA medical

529
00:37:50,199 --> 00:37:53,920
Care, and everybody has a card
that guarantees them care, you and I

530
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:58,360
get to make our choices by who
provides the care that we like the most

531
00:37:58,519 --> 00:38:02,960
or as better service for us instead
of shopping for the cheapest. And yes,

532
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,599
the money's coming through the Medicare system, it's coming through our taxes.

533
00:38:07,639 --> 00:38:13,800
It's absolutely coming from our taxes.
But in the line socialist, it's medalist

534
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,480
system. Then I don't think it's
socialist. I really don't. But if

535
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:19,320
you want to call it that,
go right ahead. I want every American

536
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,800
to be able to have guaranteed medical
care. I don't want Anybody going without

537
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:29,440
medication because of the car is not
England. America, is not Canada America

538
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:36,320
country. It's not about social What
you have right now is private health insurance

539
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,559
companies running healthcare. And how great
of a bang up job are they doing

540
00:38:38,599 --> 00:38:44,159
for you? How many people do
you know who have suffering with other stuff?

541
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,159
Now? It doesn't want to handle
the healthcare. I want to get

542
00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:51,679
the bureaucracy out of healthcare. I
want the healthcare be decided by the doctors.

543
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,639
It's not about paying. It's not
about approval anymore. There's no more

544
00:38:54,639 --> 00:39:00,119
approval, there's no more middleman.
Your doctor says you need this, you

545
00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:04,440
get it, and it's paid for
and a discussion. But that's coming out

546
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,239
of somebody else's pocket instead of you
paying two hundred, three hundred dollars eight

547
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,199
and my mom's paying eight hundred dollars
a month at a premium, instead of

548
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,480
you having five six seven thousand dollars. Why should I pay for your care?

549
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:20,800
Why that's that's ridiculous. You don't
think you're doing that? Now?

550
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,360
Do you pay a premium? Who
do you think you're paying? Who do

551
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,079
you think you're paying? You?
You're paying for anybody's care. You pay

552
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:30,039
that premium, but you're paying a
premium. You're paying for a premium.

553
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,400
No, you pay for everybody else's. You're paying a premium, you're paying

554
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,960
a deductible, you're paying a co
pay. You add all of that up

555
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,599
and you are paying a fortune then, and you would pay a fraction of

556
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:43,440
the cost. He's going to take
it some challenge and shift it over to

557
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,119
the government, and you get rid
of the insurance companies altogether. You allow

558
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:52,079
medical providers to what. I don't
think you really understand what you're talking about,

559
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,719
and I think it's too socialists for
America. I'm sorry you feel that

560
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,480
way, but you know you can
hang up all you like. The truth

561
00:39:59,559 --> 00:40:04,119
is this, medical decisions should be
made by our providers, ourselves, and

562
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:07,320
our families. Nobody else should have
their nose involved in your medical care.

563
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:12,400
If we're all paying, like my
buddy lives in the Netherlands, they all

564
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,440
pay one payment for their insurance.
But it's everything. It's their health insurance,

565
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,599
it's their third party insurance, it's
their dental insurance, it's their mental

566
00:40:20,599 --> 00:40:23,480
health insurance. He's paying one hundred
and fifty dollars a month. He's had

567
00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:29,400
to have drains put into his long
stage four breast cancer metastatic to the long,

568
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,199
huge tumor. He didn't get ignored, he didn't get told he couldn't

569
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:37,440
have the medication. The medication was
delivered to his door. The doctor ordered

570
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,679
it. It came to his door. The doctor came to his door.

571
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:45,559
He gets He's never been turned down
for a dang thing. He gets all

572
00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:47,480
the care he needs. And that's
how it should be in this country.

573
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,840
You should get all the care you
need, decided by medical professionals, not

574
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,119
bureaucrats. You get rid of insurance
companies and watch the price of medicine go

575
00:40:57,159 --> 00:41:04,840
down. Yeah, I mean,
you gotta get haters, but I'm done

576
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,039
with private insurance companies saying whether or
not you can get chemo. Well,

577
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:15,559
a big something that really really shifted
my thinking was, Um, you know,

578
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:19,559
I I it was a few years
ago now on the show, and

579
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,639
I got I got pretty animated about
it. People people talked about it for

580
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:25,960
a while after after this happened.
But it was, Um, it was

581
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,559
a Monday, and I had just
remember because it was over the weekend.

582
00:41:30,559 --> 00:41:37,320
I'd read something online about how um
I'd read this article really in depth about

583
00:41:37,639 --> 00:41:42,559
people who started go fund me accounts, you know, go fund me campaigns

584
00:41:42,599 --> 00:41:46,199
and UH to pay for UM to
pay for medical treatment people who had been

585
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,000
diagnosed with cancer and they were and
they were trying to raise money online to

586
00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:55,320
pay for medical treatment. And UM
what I was which shouldn't again, shouldn't

587
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,880
happen in America, shouldn't happen anywhere, shouldn't have to be that way.

588
00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:02,199
But then what I was really horrified
to learn, and I didn't realize and

589
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:07,760
I was completely naive to this,
is that a very large percentage of the

590
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,840
people who do that, it's not
that they don't have health insurance, you

591
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,840
know, they're uninsured and they happen
to get diagnosed. It's in many cases

592
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,960
it's they do have health insurance and
they had what they at least what they

593
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:23,320
thought was full coverage. But then
UM insurance companies find ways, they find

594
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:32,280
excuses to deny certain treatments, and
so people end up dying unnecessarily. The

595
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,400
other thing I would just say to
to to address the callers, UM,

596
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:42,400
it's very no offense to the caller. I appreciate the call I appreciate everyone

597
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,440
who calls, whether they agree,
disagree, or whatever. But I find

598
00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:51,760
um when people throw the words socialism
around. Again, I say this respectfully,

599
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:59,559
it's probably the most intellectually lazy way
to try to argue about this stuff.

600
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,079
I mean, you know, we
can have conversations and we do about

601
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,519
you know, what the government should
and should not be involved in and how

602
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:10,559
much the government should or should not
be involved in things, and those are

603
00:43:10,599 --> 00:43:17,480
important conversations to have. But unfortunately, somewhere I feel like it's it's probably

604
00:43:17,559 --> 00:43:22,679
coming up on a decade now.
Americans like to think of politics, and

605
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,400
I'm sure it's not unique to America. I'm sure it's like this everywhere.

606
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,239
Probably it's probably just part of the
human condition. But people like to think

607
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:37,559
politics in a very hyper simplified and
reductive way. So when people talk about

608
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:43,119
this kind of stuff, they get
into this argument of well, we can

609
00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:50,679
either have capitalism or we can have
socialism, and it's really pretty again,

610
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,880
it's reductive, and it's it's just
a lazy way of thinking about it,

611
00:43:54,519 --> 00:44:00,000
because the truth is we have both, We've always had both, we always

612
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:06,239
will have both. We live in
a country that has a great deal of

613
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,440
Look, I'm I consider myself a
free market capitalist, um, but we

614
00:44:09,559 --> 00:44:15,119
also have social programs. Uh,
the most popular social program in the history

615
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:20,840
of the United States has it right
in the name social security. So for

616
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,960
anyone who wants to argue, well, you know, we can't have any

617
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,519
socialism, well do you want to
get rid of social security? Um?

618
00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:30,519
And by the way, there are
people who who do. There are people

619
00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:34,000
who are so sociopath I can care
so little about other human beings that they'd

620
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,039
be fine with letting people who who
depend on it just starved to death and

621
00:44:37,079 --> 00:44:39,760
be homeless and whatnot. And I
understand that. I think it's too bad,

622
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,519
but I understand that that's the reality
of it. I'm not saying that

623
00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:47,559
about the caller. I kind of
suspect that that's probably the caller's attitude just

624
00:44:47,679 --> 00:44:54,199
given the callers you know, limited
what what what was what was presented during

625
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:59,199
that call, I imagine that that
the caller probably is fine with uh,

626
00:44:59,639 --> 00:45:01,800
poor, it was interesting about that
suffering and dying. But but but I

627
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,159
just want to make the point though
when somebody says, well, that sounds

628
00:45:06,199 --> 00:45:08,440
like socialism to me, Well,
number one, we do have a lot

629
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,760
of socialism. We also have a
lot of capitalism. And in the United

630
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,320
States, I would argue we have
far more capitalism than we do socialism.

631
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,920
But but there is. If you're
going to have any degree of government,

632
00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:23,360
you know, you're going to have
social programs to help people. And I

633
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,880
happen to think that that's a good
thing. But but you know, when

634
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,880
people dismiss it as well, that
sounds like socialism. Let me tell you

635
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,559
something. The government is already.
If your if your argument is just to

636
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:37,599
add to that, if your argument
is, well, I don't want the

637
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:40,719
government involved in healthcare, the government's
already very much involved in healthcare. The

638
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:47,719
government is already very much involved in
regulating in many different ways healthcare and what

639
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,000
medications are approved, and this and
that. The government's you know, and

640
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:55,679
of course we have programs like Medicare
and Medicaid. The government is and you

641
00:45:55,719 --> 00:46:00,400
know the VA uh, you know, to take care of veterans. So

642
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:06,760
the government's already very much involved.
But but the one underlying principle that I

643
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,880
have, that I've always had,
is this. We live in the most

644
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:14,360
successful, most innovative, most prosperous
country in the history of the world.

645
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,719
There is no reason why in this
country anyone should have to fall through the

646
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,360
cracks. There is no reason and
to allow people to fall through the cracks.

647
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,000
I know some people think, well, that's just you know, that's

648
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,079
just freedom, and that's liberty,
and no, to allow people to fall

649
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:34,519
through the cracks is immoral and unethical. And and you know, I'm all

650
00:46:34,519 --> 00:46:38,000
for freedom and liberty and small government. I'm a small government guy, believe

651
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,159
it or not. And many of
you will not believe this. In some

652
00:46:42,199 --> 00:46:47,239
ways, I'm actually a small government
conservative. But you know, I take

653
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,800
a moral stand on this. There's
no one should have to fall through the

654
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,239
cracks or worry about not getting the
care that they need. One thing,

655
00:46:55,519 --> 00:47:00,639
Um, I'm sorry, but you're
one cancer diagnosis away from being me.

656
00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:05,199
You pay your premium now and you
have what you consider good healthcare. But

657
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,440
the minute you become a cancer patient
and you lose your job and you lose

658
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,519
that health insurance, your whole world
changes because now you can't access anything,

659
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,599
nothing for one thing for another thing. Right now, I've got too much

660
00:47:17,639 --> 00:47:23,039
government in medicine because there's so much
going on with the insurance companies and how

661
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:27,000
this is supposed to work and that's
supposed to work, and how approval this

662
00:47:27,079 --> 00:47:30,239
and approval that. Well, we
get rid of that and I get government

663
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,639
out of my exam room, and
my exam room now has my doctor,

664
00:47:34,679 --> 00:47:37,920
me and my family, and we
make the choices for my care. We

665
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:43,480
gave veterans a card to allow them
to be able to go anywhere for care,

666
00:47:43,519 --> 00:47:45,280
which is how it should be,
and it's working, and they get

667
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:50,400
to choose and they don't have to
go to one specific place anymore or get

668
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,440
moved like that's used to get moved
constantly. Wouldn't it be nice to have

669
00:47:54,480 --> 00:48:00,360
a national healthcare system where you have
a card where you don't have five thousand

670
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,239
dollars co pays or you have to
shop to try and find an MRI,

671
00:48:04,599 --> 00:48:08,360
or you're paying damn near a thousand
dollars in premium and you still got a

672
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:12,760
thirty five dollars co pay on that
drug and one hundred and fifty on this

673
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,760
drug and you can't afford it.
So you know, like our buddy,

674
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:21,559
our friend who has diabetes and only
buy six vials of vincelin instead of seven

675
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,840
because they can't afford it, so
they rash in it. We wouldn't be

676
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,800
rash in healthcare like we do now, because that's what we do now.

677
00:48:28,039 --> 00:48:30,800
We ration it, Melanie said in
the chat, so poor people deserve to

678
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,639
die. I think that was in
response to the collar and well, there

679
00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:37,239
are people who think that. I
mean again, there are oh yeah,

680
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,679
there are people I don't want to
pay for you. Like the guy said,

681
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,840
there are there are people who just
well, in a broader sense too,

682
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,079
there are people who just genuinely hate
poor people. I mean it's because

683
00:48:47,079 --> 00:48:50,840
they never see that they can be
there. When I got cancer, I

684
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,559
had five and a half acres of
land. Yeah, I d it quite

685
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:58,800
a large house. So you know, I was working as a full time

686
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,800
EMT and a first respond to volunteering
in my town. I worked in a

687
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:07,280
hospital full time. I had multiple
jobs, and I was the person that

688
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,320
came to a due when you called
nine one one till I got cancer,

689
00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:15,239
till it took me out, till
I lost my job, I lost my

690
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:20,039
house, I lost my land.
I sold everything I did go fund means

691
00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:22,400
to avoid treatment. Yeah, we've
been there, We've done that. And

692
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,840
if you want to learn more about
this kind of stuff, I'll tell you.

693
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,639

777
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:43,039
forgot the where does where does the
name come from? Frankie Boy? Well,

778
00:58:43,079 --> 00:58:45,400
I started going out to the blues
jams when I was sixteen years old,

779
00:58:46,119 --> 00:58:50,239
and when you're the only sixteen year
old in the room, they call

780
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,719
you boy. Okay, okay,
I got the name. Johnny B.

781
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:57,840
Savoni used to host the jam I
went to at the Roma in Harold,

782
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,480
Massachusetts. Yeah, and he said
thank you boy, and he just kept

783
00:59:01,519 --> 00:59:05,360
saying it and saying it, and
everybody started calling me Frankie Boy, and

784
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,199
it stuck. And then I added
Blues at the end of it. So

785
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:13,559
my stage name is technically Frankie Boy
Blues. Oh okay, So that way,

786
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:15,679
because there's a lot of Frankie Boys
in the world, I gotta be

787
00:59:15,719 --> 00:59:19,000
a little different, right, gotcha, gotcha? You know, But Frankie

788
00:59:19,079 --> 00:59:22,360
Boy Blues and the Blues Express would
be a little much, right, So,

00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:30,039

954
01:21:06,039 --> 01:21:12,359
because you you sound I assume it's
been a while. Three years maybe,

955
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,039

961
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,520

Dave. Are you calling? Do
you have a question for the band?

965
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,359

You know, we we listen to

971
01:22:15,319 --> 01:22:17,720
songs on here. Now, when
when is this going to be coming out

972
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,520

A few weeks, Okay, that's the

973
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:27,039
plan. We need it done by
June. And June's not many weeks away

974
01:22:27,319 --> 01:22:30,600

lot of shows? Or we haven't really

980
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:54,119

981
01:22:54,359 --> 01:22:58,680
Okay, all right, we play
out once or twice a week excellent,

982
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,680
and then some weeks the summer,
we got seven days in a row.

983
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:08,199
Sweet, like we're going to wake

weirs, wake the Lake. We're there

985
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:17,279
Friday night, Tower Hill Tavern upstairs
and Saturday outside. Very cool, yeah,

986
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:21,800
very cool? Um? How many
Um, now, how many originals

987
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:27,039
do you guys have as far as
are these all originals on the album or

988
01:23:27,079 --> 01:23:29,880
some of these covers? I didn't
there's no, there's some covers on there.

989
01:23:30,159 --> 01:23:32,000
Um, I'd say it's a mix
of covers and originals. Yeah.

990
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:39,479
Um, definitely some original arrangement arrangements
to songs that have been done before.

991
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:43,279
Okay you will find on that record. Okay, okay, cool. Yeah,

992
01:23:43,399 --> 01:23:46,640
nothing on there sounds like in original, like the original if it's a

993
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:50,840
cover. Yeah. Yeah. Is
that something in terms of approaching songs like

994
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:55,199
that where you where you take a
song and you kind of, I don't

995
01:23:55,239 --> 01:23:58,520
know, reverse engineer it or I
heard that term recently, or make it

996
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:00,800
your own? Is that something you
do kind just when you when you're approaching

997
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,920
it, or does it just kind
of happen organically? Oh, I'd go

998
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,079
with the organically side of things.
Um. Two of the songs on there,

999
01:24:08,079 --> 01:24:11,720
in particular, one of them was
a I just a riff. I

1000
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:15,359
came up playing by myself in the
room, played it with these guys a

1001
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,880
few times live. By the third
or fourth time we played it, they

1002
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:21,560
said, when are you going to
sing over that thing? And I went

1003
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:27,479
to a gig following week and started
singing some Luther guitar Junior Johnson lyrics over

1004
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,880
it. Okay, you know what
I mean? Yeah, another song on

1005
01:24:30,039 --> 01:24:32,840
there. Um, we were playing
a gig with a friend of ours named

1006
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:38,880
Dominic Cole, fifteen year old drum
phenomenon. He's amazing and it was our

1007
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,279
first gig we did with them,
so he was getting new to the blue

1008
01:24:42,319 --> 01:24:45,520
stuff that we do. So Mickey
looks at me and says, I'll play

1009
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,479
starting rock and he's real good at
the rock stuff. So I just kicked

1010
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,520
into these kind of Jimmie Hendricks chords. I knew, I knew he'd sound

1011
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:54,960
good. Yeah, And a few
weeks later I was I was singing Engine

1012
01:24:55,039 --> 01:24:57,960
number nine over the same chords,
you know. Yeah, yeah, So

1013
01:24:58,119 --> 01:25:01,720
they just they just happened, right
right. Um. Yeah, It's it's

1014
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:08,439
funny, uh you know it it
seems like with with this genre and and

1015
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,680
not just blues, but I think, you know, this is probably true

1016
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,920
with jam bands and some other things
too. But you know, you can

1017
01:25:15,039 --> 01:25:17,960
really you can really take things and
kind of change them and make them your

1018
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:24,119
own, um in a way that's
um, you know that you can't necessarily

1019
01:25:24,199 --> 01:25:30,239
do with other genres of music.
Um, when you play live, does

1020
01:25:30,319 --> 01:25:33,279
that happen where maybe? Um,
are some of these songs who they sound

1021
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,560
very different from one show to the
next. Is there a lot of sort

1022
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:42,039
of improvisation that goes on. Well, we've never had a band rehearsal really,

1023
01:25:42,199 --> 01:25:45,479
so every song that we play we
learned together on stage in front of

1024
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:50,159
people, every single one of them. That's why we're gonna start rehearsing sometime

1025
01:25:50,279 --> 01:25:55,239
soon when we're ready, but we
haven't yet. It doesn't seem like you

1026
01:25:55,359 --> 01:26:00,119
need to, like it seems like
it's working pretty well. Blues is a

1027
01:26:00,239 --> 01:26:03,479
language, yep. Yeah, it's
a language. If you learn the language,

1028
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:08,199
you can play with anybody. It's
like speaking a different language. Yeah,

1029
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,359
if you speak Spanish, you don't
have to ask somebody if they speak

1030
01:26:11,399 --> 01:26:14,720
Spanish, you just start a conversation, right right. This is the same

1031
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,720
thing. Yeah, yeah, same
thing. Um, And I think Mickey

1032
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:23,399
you had made the comment offer I
think that that you guys, this is

1033
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,680
your first time doing this acoustic.
Is that is that correct? Yeah?

1034
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:30,239
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've
never done an acoustic show or an acoustic

1035
01:26:30,319 --> 01:26:34,279
set. Yeah. Is it much
of an adjustment or in terms of your

1036
01:26:34,399 --> 01:26:39,199
your approach to plan or no,
I mean you seem you seem comfortable with

1037
01:26:39,279 --> 01:26:42,359
it, so yeah, yeah,
definitely definitely for me. I'm like,

1038
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:47,720
I normally have probably at least two
extra symbols and then two tom's, so

1039
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:51,439
I got like pretty bare bones right
here with just this high hat, snare

1040
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:55,600
and bass drum. But yeah,
I love doing that kind of stuff because

1041
01:26:56,079 --> 01:26:59,720
one of my favorite drummers of all
time is Nate Smith and he plays for

1042
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,000
a Fearless Flyers and a bunch of
different groups. He has his own soul

1043
01:27:02,039 --> 01:27:05,880
ax and whatnot, but he does
this exact setup for Fearless Flyers. It's

1044
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:10,199
literally just bass drum, snare,
drum, high hat, and it really

1045
01:27:10,319 --> 01:27:15,479
challenges you as a drummer to just
like focus on pocket or get creative with

1046
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:19,600
what you got because you've gotten literally
the the beef and the bones, like

1047
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:23,439
you know, the whole peanut butter
sandwich right here. That's all right,

1048
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,159
you know if you're talking about food
and you know, bring food into this,

1049
01:27:27,359 --> 01:27:32,399
but um yeah, yeah, actually
yeah, but um yeah, it's

1050
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,800
so I like playing on this kind
of this kind of setup. So hopefully

1051
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:39,239
we'll get a chance to do more
of stuff like this, so I definitely,

1052
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:43,039
I definitely enjoy it. Yeah.
Is it a challenge to um as

1053
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,119
how did you put it? Exactly? Uh uh, to be more creative

1054
01:27:47,199 --> 01:27:53,119
with with lesser Yeah, exactly,
because you're it's like you're being more can

1055
01:27:53,319 --> 01:27:58,319
You're you're confined to a smaller box. But it's it's fun to work within

1056
01:27:58,399 --> 01:28:02,159
a box because it's like you know
it, it gives you like an area

1057
01:28:02,319 --> 01:28:05,880
to work within, and and it
forces you to be creative with what you

1058
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:10,920
got. So I end up like
doing things that I've never done before on

1059
01:28:11,039 --> 01:28:14,640
a set like this, which is
super fun because it's like that's kind of

1060
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:16,079
the same thing that we do when
we when we play live, Like when

1061
01:28:16,119 --> 01:28:19,399
we play songs, it's like we'll
play certain songs and certain things will come

1062
01:28:19,399 --> 01:28:23,640
out at times when we're like when
the hell did we start playing it like

1063
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,840
that? And it's like, and
that's what's super fun about the shows with

1064
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:30,079
Frankie. It's like, it you
show up to show, you could go

1065
01:28:30,159 --> 01:28:32,960
to a like all of our shows
that bike week this year, and you

1066
01:28:33,039 --> 01:28:36,399
would you would get something different each
night. Yeah, so and and and

1067
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:41,880
that's that's what's really enjoyable about it. So I'm getting that right here in

1068
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:44,720
the studio with this little kid.
So yeah, I just I love the

1069
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,560
improv. Yeah, so very cool, very cool. Um, do you

1070
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:51,079
guys play really long? I mean
I assume you can probably do like a

1071
01:28:51,119 --> 01:28:58,119
three hour set, right do the
wholes no kid ain't? Yeah? Does

1072
01:28:58,199 --> 01:29:01,319
that ever get exhausting or probably just
kind of flies by? Right? I

1073
01:29:01,359 --> 01:29:05,399
would imagine four yeah? Yeah,
yeah. We often have been pushing two

1074
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:09,359
or two and a half hours before
we take a break, no kidding.

1075
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,520
And you know what, when the
music's right, playing with these guys and

1076
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,239
music's always right, yeah, two
and a half hours goes by like twenty

1077
01:29:15,279 --> 01:29:17,960
minute. When it feels good,
you don't you don't want to stop right

1078
01:29:18,159 --> 01:29:19,960
right, and then you look at
your phone and you go, wow,

1079
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,920
we've been at this two and a
half hours. Let's take a break.

1080
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,800
You know. Do you make any
kind of a set list or do you

1081
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,000
not bother? I haven't done that
yet, I don't plan on doing it.

1082
01:29:30,279 --> 01:29:34,560
Yeah. Um, I just just
feel the room. Yeah, you

1083
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:39,359
know, if if the whole room
staring at you, you just gotta go

1084
01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:43,319
and you gotta give it, catch
their attention, and if you can get

1085
01:29:43,359 --> 01:29:47,760
it, you know, hold one. Yeah, Now there are there other

1086
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,159
bands in the area. Is there
anybody else in the area who's doing what

1087
01:29:50,239 --> 01:29:54,439
you're doing and approaching it this way? Because it seems like, you know,

1088
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,199
we have a lot of musical guests
on the show, but I don't

1089
01:29:57,199 --> 01:30:00,239
think we've had anybody quite like you
guys on the show. That's good to

1090
01:30:00,319 --> 01:30:02,800
hear. Yeah, yeah, most
from what I know, I know tons

1091
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:08,720
of musicians. There's a ton of
incredible musicians in New England and New Hampshire

1092
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:14,600
specifically. Yeah. Most bands have
rehearsals all the time and have setlists and

1093
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:20,039
do whatever. Yeah. We're blues
trained, Yeah, blues trained by some

1094
01:30:20,239 --> 01:30:27,840
really really serious mentors, really serious
mentors right here in Manchester. Howard Randall,

1095
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:32,159
who's been around the Strange Group game
for twenty four years. Jerry the

1096
01:30:32,239 --> 01:30:36,399
Reverend, Podcat Can Too blues band, that's my godfather, talk about him,

1097
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:43,159
Montoring wo Luther guitar Junior Johnson of
course. Yeah. Like if if

1098
01:30:43,319 --> 01:30:46,039
anybody's ever played blues and they've gotten
the look before, when you get a

1099
01:30:46,119 --> 01:30:50,640
look means you're doing something wrong.
Fix it right now. Willie J.

1100
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:56,840
Laws one of my dear mentors.
When you're mentored in blues like it's it.

1101
01:30:57,279 --> 01:31:00,720
I had a conversation Frankie mentioned Dominic. Dominic just played a gig with

1102
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:04,439
us over this weekend, and Dominic
started sitting in with us at seven years

1103
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:09,960
old. Incredible, incredible drummer.
He just turned fifteen years old. He's

1104
01:31:10,039 --> 01:31:15,279
full time gigging right now in the
Bob Pratt band. Wow. And what

1105
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:19,000
I explained to him about blues is
you can sit home and practice all day

1106
01:31:19,079 --> 01:31:23,720
long. You can practice to blue
stuff all day long. You're not learning

1107
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:27,399
the real stuff unless you're playing it
out on stage with blues players, because

1108
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:30,800
it's all about what it feels,
not how you rehearsed it at home,

1109
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:34,079
not how the record sounds. It's
about how it feels right now. Yeah,

1110
01:31:34,279 --> 01:31:39,520
that's it. That makes sense now
if any of you guys played in

1111
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:45,560
other other genres or other bands that
maybe did something little you have Harrison,

1112
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,119
Yeah, yeah, I have another
project right now called River Saying Wild,

1113
01:31:48,159 --> 01:31:53,560
which is more of an alternative indie
rock band. Yeah, and we play

1114
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:58,720
pretty much the same area as as
Frankie does, like the New England's just

1115
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,039
in general regional basically regional band,
not a touring act yet, but working

1116
01:32:02,119 --> 01:32:05,960
on that kind of thing, so
and um yeah, it's just yeah,

1117
01:32:06,079 --> 01:32:11,239
So I I like dipping into that. But I've I've liked playing all kinds

1118
01:32:11,279 --> 01:32:15,199
of stuff. Um. I feel
like with Frankie, I'm a bit more.

1119
01:32:15,399 --> 01:32:21,439
I kind of cascade through more because
it's like funk, soul, blues,

1120
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:26,199
swing, like all kinds of stuff. So sometimes we can get like

1121
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:30,000
anything from like Engine Number nine when
we play a song like that that's more

1122
01:32:30,079 --> 01:32:32,560
on like the rock, like heavy
in your face kind of side, and

1123
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:39,600
then like we'll and then we'll have
something that's like yeah to Bob Marley to

1124
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:45,159
yeah Franks, which which challenges me
because it's like I have to know like

1125
01:32:45,399 --> 01:32:46,760
how to set the mood in my
head, like when I'm playing, like

1126
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:49,039
all right, how am I gonna
approach this, you know, and it's

1127
01:32:49,079 --> 01:32:53,680
like you're and I'm being given so
many colors to work with that it's it's

1128
01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:58,279
really it's really fun to do that. Um So I'd say like yeah,

1129
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,079
but it's even when we do the
swing stuff or even like a reggae tune

1130
01:33:02,239 --> 01:33:08,960
or like or something that's like really
funky. I feel like, um my

1131
01:33:09,119 --> 01:33:13,640
approach in general as I like to
have more of that rock and roll energy

1132
01:33:14,119 --> 01:33:16,279
brought into it, no matter what
it is, because to me, I

1133
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:23,079
just like that bold in your face, like bombastic, borderline annoying and and

1134
01:33:23,279 --> 01:33:26,840
I think that's like any drummer really, but that's that's how I like to

1135
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:29,319
kind of approach stuff. And I
feel like when we when we play,

1136
01:33:29,359 --> 01:33:33,000
it's like it doesn't matter if we're
playing a waltz or like or something that's

1137
01:33:33,319 --> 01:33:36,880
like Engine number nine or something in
your face more rock or Jimmy Hendricks like,

1138
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:41,880
um, it's always gonna be rock
and roll energy brought to it.

1139
01:33:42,039 --> 01:33:45,520
In my head, that's how I
interpret it. But it's yeah, it's

1140
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,920
so yeah, yeah, yeah,
very cool. Well we are. We're

1141
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:53,239
actually almost out of time, so
I want to make sure before we run

1142
01:33:53,279 --> 01:33:56,239
out of time, and I want
to get this um the song and Mickey

1143
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,680
you had asked me to play this
track something about you. You know what

1144
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,680
if they've both mentioned engine number nine
a few times, how about we give

1145
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:05,479
them engine number nine. We'll do
that, Okay, okay, cool?

1146
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,840
Track eight, I think, yeah, yeah, track eight yeah, all

1147
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,640
right, yeah, well we'll play
that when we wrap up in a moment.

1148
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:14,760
But um, but before we before
we wrap up, I want to

1149
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:17,520
make sure that that our listeners know
where to find you guys online, where

1150
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:20,239
they should go to keep up with
everything that you're doing, and how they

1151
01:34:20,279 --> 01:34:23,680
can get the CD when it comes
out, where they should go, any

1152
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:28,520
anything they should know. Well,

1171
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:42,000
Now, UH, as we conclude, I just have because I've never used

1172
01:35:42,039 --> 01:35:45,119
a CD player before today, I
have to figure out how to get to

1173
01:35:45,319 --> 01:35:48,920
UH. I have to figure out
how to get to our track number eighth.

1174
01:35:49,159 --> 01:35:54,560
Let's see, he's gotta figure out
which button the push. I think

1175
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:59,199
I owned it. I think I
found it, all right, I figured

1176
01:35:59,239 --> 01:36:01,079
it out. I figured it out
all right, very cool. I saw

1177
01:36:01,119 --> 01:36:02,680
a red light. I thought,
I don't know. We're in trouble.

1178
01:36:04,239 --> 01:36:10,399
Oh, except we're in trouble.
No, I got it, I got

1179
