1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>It's nice time with Dan Ray. I'm telling you easy

2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Boston Radio.

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 2>All right now, Grippin appreciate it very much. So here's

4
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>what I'd like to do. With your permission and your cooperation.

5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 2>I simply can suggest the topics you you can you

6
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>can decide to arise to debate or not. But I

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>know there's been a lot of talk and conversation about Bidenomics.

8
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 2>The stock market had a very good day today, and

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>apparently they said that because the the inflation rate dipped

10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>by a tenth of a percentage point from last July

11
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>when it was three percent, and this past July, meaning

12
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.560
<v Speaker 2>July twenty twenty four, it was two point nine percent.

13
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>That got the market going today. And of course many

14
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>people were going to try to say, hey, we just

15
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 2>proves that things are going great here. This was the

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>president yesterday when he was asked by someone in the

17
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 2>press pool if he had beaten inflation cut number one, Rob.

18
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, yes, I told you to have a soft landing.

19
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have a soft landing my policies and

20
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 2>work and start writing that way. Okay, all right, that's

21
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>pretty direct.

22
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Now.

23
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Of course, Donald Trump sees it somewhat differently. So this

24
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>is the former president in North Carolina yesterday cut number two.

25
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 5>Rob Does anyone here phil richer under Kamala Harris and

26
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 5>Crooked Joe than you were during the Trump administration? Is

27
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 5>anything less expensive under Kamala Harris.

28
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>And Crooked Joe.

29
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we had inflation that I don't believe we've

30
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 5>ever had inflation like that.

31
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>You can go back a long way.

32
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 5>Are you better off now with Harris and Biden than

33
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 5>you were with a person named President Donald J.

34
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Trump?

35
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you know him?

36
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 5>He's a nice gentleman.

37
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>So earlier today I believe it was No, I guess

38
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 2>it was yesterday. Jared Bernstein, who's the head of the

39
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>White House Council of Economic Advisors, in the wake of

40
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>yesterday morning's report of inflation again year to year being

41
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 2>down from three point zero percent to two point nine percent, That,

42
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>of course, is peggybacked on top of the previous year's

43
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>inflation up, which was as much as nine percent. Okay,

44
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>take a look at what you're paying in stores for

45
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>regular things. I mean a package of Oriole cookies, I

46
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>mean whatever you want, a gallon of milk. That's been

47
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>my experience. Maybe some of you can help me find

48
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>a better stores to work up. But Bernstein was asked

49
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>about the fact that voters may hear these these these analysis,

50
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>but they're not feeling it. So this was Jared Bernstein

51
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>yesterday cut number nine.

52
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 1>When I talked to.

53
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 6>Voters in the field, when my colleagues talk to people,

54
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 6>they still don't think the economy isn't a better shape

55
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 6>than it was when President Biden christ took office.

56
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 7>Well, I don't know about that in terms of the

57
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 7>broader economic assessment of where the you know, the economy is,

58
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 7>because you know, I think people do know that the

59
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 7>job market's been strong. Sixteen million jobs, that's record job growth.

60
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 7>The unemployment rate has been historically low. GDP growth has

61
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 7>been strong. But I think your question is a valid one,

62
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 7>which is Okay, people, I think are aware of many

63
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 7>of those many of many of the elements of that progress,

64
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 7>but they're still discomforted by the high prices.

65
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, I mean I agree with him there. I

66
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>think that a lot of the numbers of phony numbers.

67
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>And we lost millions of jobs because of COVID. Okay,

68
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 2>it was as simple as that. There were when you

69
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>think about it, there were restaurants that were closed. There

70
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 2>were stores that were closed. Those businesses laid people off.

71
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>They have come back, many of those restaurants, and many

72
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 2>of those stores have come back. Okay, there wasn't much

73
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>of a need for Walmart greeters. For example, when when

74
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 2>COVID hit, Birnsting went on to say, he was again

75
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 2>I think I think he added to this comment, this

76
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 2>is a comment nine A again the head of the

77
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>White House Council of Economic Advisors, trying to make it simple.

78
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess you know.

79
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 7>I have three words for people who feel the way

80
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 7>you just said, which is, we hear you. The President

81
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 7>hears you, the Vice President hears you. We will never

82
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 7>stand here and say, oh, no, you're wrong. Look at

83
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 7>the GDP statistics. You know that's not the way it works.

84
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 7>That's not President Biden's orientation. We believe that people are

85
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 7>the best arbiters of how they experienced this economy, and

86
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 7>that's why we're working so aggressively on agenda, on an

87
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 7>agenda to help them cut costs in all the areas

88
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 7>I ticked through before, to make investments in ki areas,

89
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 7>particularly in places that have long been left behind and

90
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 7>hollowed out by irresponsible trade policy.

91
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Very nice words, but I don't know what they mean. Now,

92
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe some of you can explain to me what they mean.

93
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know what they mean. And then when

94
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>we hear the White House Press Secretary Caarine Jean Pierre,

95
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>she said this earlier this month, was on August sixth. Again,

96
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>she works for President Biden. I get it, she's not

97
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna say anything that's negative, but this is a little

98
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>hyperbole here cut twenty four, please Rob, and we understand.

99
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 6>What the President inherited when he walked in was a

100
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 6>you know, an economic economy that was in the downturn.

101
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 8>He had to turn that around.

102
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's what the president was able.

103
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 2>To do, turn the economy around. Well, I don't know

104
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>about that, but that's what the that's what they say.

105
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>So my question is real simple, how's your economy? Are

106
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 2>you making more money these days? Inflation cumulatively over the

107
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 2>last four years is up around twenty percent? Okay, simple

108
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>as that most items are, on average, are going to

109
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 2>cost you twenty percent more. So that package of cookies

110
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>that was I don't know, two ninety nine in the

111
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 2>in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, Nile's going to be

112
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 2>man two three seventy five, three seventy nine or whatever

113
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a gallon of gas. You know what you were paying

114
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.319
<v Speaker 2>for gas? I mean, is it as bad as it was? No?

115
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Is it gonna go down more? I'm not sure.

116
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

117
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>And there are factors over which we frankly have no control.

118
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if if war breaks out in the Middle East,

119
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>you can blame, you can lay that, You can lay

120
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 2>that at the feet of a politician and say, hey,

121
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>you did a good job here, whatever. But I just

122
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 2>want to know how you're doing. Are you going out

123
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 2>to dinner as often as you did back in the

124
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>in the late teens? You know, essentially, when Donald Trump

125
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>was president, before COVID, obviously COVID, our world changed for

126
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>about a year and a half dramatically, and we're still

127
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>feeling consequences of it. COVID was not Donald Trump's fault.

128
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.360
<v Speaker 2>COVID was not Joe Biden's fault. COVID was China's fault.

129
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>No matter how you cut that, folks, It's as simple

130
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 2>as that. And that is not an anti Chinese statement.

131
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 2>It came from China, whether it came from a lab

132
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 2>or whether it came from a what market, or whether

133
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>it came from some bat that, somehow someone ate. There's

134
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of theories. But my question to you is

135
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>how are you doing? How are you doing? Do you

136
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>have more money in the bank, do you feel more comfortable? Obviously,

137
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:31.399
<v Speaker 2>mortgage prices have gone up. My son was telling me

138
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>the other day that he back in I guess it

139
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was I'm trying to think twenty eighteen, he was able

140
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to refi at a two point seven five percent. I

141
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.559
<v Speaker 2>mean he said, hey, you know, never find a mortgage

142
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 2>like that two point seven five percent today. So it's

143
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 2>really a question. It's a personal thing. And also will

144
00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 2>it affect how you will vote? Will your economic circlemstances

145
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 2>push you to vote one way or the other. You've

146
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>got two choices and maybe it won't. Maybe you, irrespective

147
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>of how well you're doing or how poorly you doing,

148
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 2>you are going to vote Democrat or Republican. I just

149
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 2>want to know how we talk about the economy, talk

150
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 2>about the GDP, talk about the inflation rate, uh, talk

151
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>about the feder Reserve. Will they will they cut rates?

152
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Will will rate stay the same? All of that stuff, okay,

153
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 2>which is what you'd call macro economics. That's what it's

154
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>called macro economics. Okay, the price of gas, you could

155
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>you could impact you. You can't impact the price of gas.

156
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>You can impact the way you drive your car as

157
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 2>opposed to doing five errands every day. If you have

158
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the time, you know, drive to the to the to

159
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>the laundry, get your clothes, drive home, drive to the

160
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to the grocery store, get your food, come back home,

161
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.080
<v Speaker 2>drive to the post office, mail your letters, come back home. Oh.

162
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>The smarter way obviously, Uh. Perhaps less convenient is make

163
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 2>a list, pick them up, one two, figure it out

164
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 2>how you're going to go and save yourself some mileage.

165
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 2>So the question is, how is your economy working right now? Uh?

166
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 2>And if you want to give Joe Biden credit and

167
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 2>tell me that daidnomics has been the best thing that

168
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 2>you've ever experienced, that's great. If you want to tell

169
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>me it's all a bunch of whoy uh and that

170
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you're worse off now than you were four years ago,

171
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 2>that's fine too. Six one seven thirty, triple eight nine

172
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>two nine ten thirty or six one seven, nine, three

173
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>one ten thirty. Your points of view are what makes

174
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>this program work because we get every night a variety

175
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>of callers, different callers last night, I think we had

176
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 2>four first time callers in a row. I haven't had

177
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>four first time callers in a row in a long time,

178
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, because we have UH callers

179
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 2>who call infrequently, callers who call more frequently. UH. But

180
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>to get four first time callers in a row, that

181
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.320
<v Speaker 2>was pretty good. I'd love to get some first time

182
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 2>callers tonight. But I want to hear from you, whether

183
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 2>you've called before or not. Six one, seven, two, five,

184
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty six one seven, nine, ten thirty those

185
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>are the two best numbers. How is your economy working

186
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>in your household? Or are you? Are you just such

187
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>that you can buy whatever you want to buy? Open

188
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it up, let's go. I want to hear your story

189
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 2>up close and personal. Coming back on Nightside.

190
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

191
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

192
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.519
<v Speaker 2>He's just talking to Rob. You're on the break. And

193
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>everyone is different, Everyone really is different. Single people, married couples,

194
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 2>married couples with kids, older folks who are looking to retire.

195
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.919
<v Speaker 2>The economy, which of course again is the macroeconomy, effects

196
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 2>all of us differently. And I just let to get

197
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>a sense from you as to how your economy is going.

198
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's start it off with Jim in Bridgewater. Jim, you

199
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 2>were next on Nightside, first this hour and night Side.

200
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>How's your economy, Jim.

201
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 10>Dan, I've always been a frogo guy. I drive a

202
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 10>twenty year old car. I have a forty year old boat.

203
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:26.759
<v Speaker 10>I've always been lucky enough to.

204
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 3>Fix and maintain those things good.

205
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.799
<v Speaker 10>But under Trump, I had extra money. We could go

206
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 10>out and use those things more we could use we

207
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.919
<v Speaker 10>had money in the bank, we could go out to dinner,

208
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 10>you know. But now it's it's a paycheck to paycheck

209
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 10>like Style flarees, it's it's And I don't understand how

210
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 10>people are blinded and as soon as the other side

211
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.480
<v Speaker 10>says something flowery and happy, they're like, oh, yeah, this

212
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 10>is this is the way it's going to be. Look,

213
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.120
<v Speaker 10>look it's all turning around.

214
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 4>Well here's the.

215
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Thing, here's the thing, and the reason I'm doing this

216
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.080
<v Speaker 2>tonight is really simple. The average person, including me, gets

217
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 2>overwhelmed by the economists because just like you can get

218
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>at a criminal trial, you can get expert witnesses on

219
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.519
<v Speaker 2>any side of the issue. You know, if you're doing

220
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.399
<v Speaker 2>blood testing, if you're doing forensics there there are hired

221
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:29.440
<v Speaker 2>guns out there. So when you hear a conservative economists

222
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>say oh, things are terrible and uh and we're heading

223
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>in the wrong direction, or then you hear Austin Goldsby

224
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.279
<v Speaker 2>who will say, oh, this is great everything we're coming

225
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>around the president talking about it's a soft landing. Well,

226
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's a soft landing. To be

227
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 2>really honest with you, I mean, it's that's all hyperbole.

228
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 2>And it comes down to how are we feeling? How

229
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.759
<v Speaker 2>am I feeling? How are you feeling? You know, I've

230
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 2>I've been blessed to have a pretty good job for

231
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>a long time. Uh and and I've been pretty immune

232
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.279
<v Speaker 2>to the ups and downs. But but not everybody is

233
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 2>that is that way, and that's why I'd like I'd

234
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:12.159
<v Speaker 2>like to find out who who's happy who's not. So

235
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.879
<v Speaker 2>you're not happy, Jim, right.

236
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 10>And I'm not happy for my friends that I know

237
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 10>they can't fix things, and I know they have car

238
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 10>payments and mortgages, and I feel I don't even ask

239
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 10>them to come out because I know they can't afford

240
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.559
<v Speaker 10>to come out. You know, it's just so upsetting.

241
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 2>So who's the one. Who's who's to blame for that?

242
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it? Do you pin that on someone or is

243
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 2>that just the ebb and flow and the economy irrespective

244
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>of who's in the White House or who isn't.

245
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 10>I absolutely blame the administration. It's one hundred percent. You've

246
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 10>seen it every day on the new not on the

247
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.720
<v Speaker 10>news because they hide it constantly. But listening to people

248
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 10>that are intelligent and do things like you do, and

249
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 10>you know, stay in the middle as best you possibly

250
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 10>can with the facts.

251
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 8>And well I always the fact.

252
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, the thing that's great is that each one

253
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>of us have our own set of facts. I mean,

254
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, no one you know, you're right when the

255
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 2>when the inflation number yesterday came out and said that

256
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 2>year to year, you know, July to July inflation was

257
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 2>only up two point nine percent, so it was under

258
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.879
<v Speaker 2>this magic number of three percent. So that was good. However,

259
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, your set of facts might be different than

260
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>my set of facts, and you are going to rely

261
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 2>when you go to the polls on your set of facts,

262
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>just like how we rely upon my set of facts,

263
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 2>you know. And that's what's beautiful. We all have within

264
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.639
<v Speaker 2>When they talk about the American economy. We all we

265
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>all have an economy ourselves. That's the point that I'm

266
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 2>trying to drive home tonight, right that it really is

267
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 2>what your economy feels like. And I get at this

268
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 2>point you're not happy with your economy. Great college, Jim.

269
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.000
<v Speaker 10>Relationship also very impressful.

270
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>No whole question about that. They say that when you

271
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.399
<v Speaker 2>talk about married couples, the greatest problem, the problem that

272
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>most married couples have who have problems a financi is financial. Absolutely,

273
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Sun Jim, great call, Thank you so.

274
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 8>Much, have a good night, Thank you too.

275
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep rolling here. Let me see who's next. They're

276
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 2>going to go to an in Boston. And the same

277
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>question for you, how's your economy doing.

278
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 11>Well? I could say that twenty nineteen was definitely a

279
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 11>lot better two thousand. I'm in the service industry and

280
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:45.080
<v Speaker 11>I was rocking. I mean I had so from two

281
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker 11>thousand until twenty sixteen, I was helping somebody who was very,

282
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 11>very sick and died. And then after that I really

283
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 11>was able to work, and I worked really hard. I'm

284
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 11>a hard worker, and I was doing so well and

285
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.960
<v Speaker 11>I was ready to buy a house. I was going

286
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 11>to buy a house up in New Hampshire, and nothing exactly,

287
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.119
<v Speaker 11>you know, just I always live within my means. But

288
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 11>and then they shut us down March twenty, twenty twenty,

289
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.079
<v Speaker 11>and I literally, in front of my eyes watched every

290
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 11>house that I had on railtor that I was just

291
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:29.640
<v Speaker 11>so excited to look into more and more, just go

292
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 11>in front of my eyes, contingent, contingent, contingent, and they

293
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:40.240
<v Speaker 11>basically shut I don't know who's responsible, if it's Baker

294
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.599
<v Speaker 11>or Marty Walsh, but I don't believe it was President Trump.

295
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 11>I do believe that it was state. The decisions of

296
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 11>the state so on that I'm going to go with.

297
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.240
<v Speaker 11>I don't believe it was Trump's fault. I just I don't.

298
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.519
<v Speaker 11>But that being said, they shut me down for five months.

299
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>When I went back, well, you say they shut you down.

300
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Did you own a business or were you an employee

301
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 2>of a business.

302
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 11>I was an employee, and just give me very very business.

303
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.880
<v Speaker 2>You're just generically what were you doing?

304
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:22.759
<v Speaker 11>If I could ask, let's uh in the alternative health

305
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:27.319
<v Speaker 11>business to put it that way, okay, and yeah, I

306
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:28.480
<v Speaker 11>wouldn't be too specific.

307
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 2>I love that. I'm not gonna pry so alternative health

308
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 2>and things were going really well for you. But when

309
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 2>COVID hit, Yes, and look, Massachusetts was a fairly restrictive state.

310
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I can remember you had to you had to wear

311
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 2>masks all the time and uh, and then we had

312
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:51.680
<v Speaker 2>shortages and which was which was no one's fault? I

313
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.319
<v Speaker 2>mean the fact that people went to stores and hoarded

314
00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:00.200
<v Speaker 2>toilet paper, for example. But the feeling that you had

315
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.079
<v Speaker 2>in the summer of twenty nineteen when things were rolling

316
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:09.160
<v Speaker 2>for you soon about the change, that feeling hasn't come back, right.

317
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 11>No, So when we reopened, my client said, well, the

318
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.279
<v Speaker 11>U haul truck just kept coming. So we decided to

319
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.119
<v Speaker 11>move too, and you know, a lot of people moved

320
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 11>out of the city. And I worked really hard, as

321
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.240
<v Speaker 11>a lot of people do in the city, building a clientele,

322
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:37.119
<v Speaker 11>and then nine months later we ended up closing. And

323
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.799
<v Speaker 11>so unfortunately, I had a feeling that was going to happen,

324
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 11>and Boston was very empty. I would walk around the

325
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.319
<v Speaker 11>city and see, you know, retail space available, apartment space available,

326
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 11>commercial space. I mean it was frightening actually. So then

327
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 11>a lot of.

328
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.640
<v Speaker 2>That, by the way, still has not come back. Ye,

329
00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:58.279
<v Speaker 2>a lot of that has not come back.

330
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:02.839
<v Speaker 11>Go ahead, really neither have I. So I haven't really

331
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.240
<v Speaker 11>been back to Boston. I'm from Boston, and I love Boston.

332
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 11>I think it's the greatest city in the whole country.

333
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.680
<v Speaker 11>And I've been all over the country.

334
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Where are you're working? Now, generally you don't have to

335
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 2>tell me exactly where you've been out in the suburbs,

336
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 2>somewhere up in New Hampshire. Where are you working?

337
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 11>It's been difficult. So I decided not just yeah, I

338
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 11>decided not to go back to Boston. And I did

339
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 11>go up to New Hampshire and it wasn't the same.

340
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 11>It's just been very different. It's not the same busyness

341
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 11>that I've had. And I would say that my income

342
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 11>has gone down from easily the seventies to the twenties

343
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 11>and thirties. Huge job, and I've had to drive a

344
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.680
<v Speaker 11>lot further which and gas has gone up, so my

345
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.279
<v Speaker 11>cost of getting to work is higher. But I am single,

346
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:02.119
<v Speaker 11>and I don't see like I have it at so

347
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.680
<v Speaker 11>I also I decided to go to Florida to see

348
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 11>if that was a better economy, but actually I won't

349
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.319
<v Speaker 11>go into that. But I wasn't happy with it down there,

350
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.640
<v Speaker 11>so I came back and now I can't even find

351
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:21.279
<v Speaker 11>an apartment. I'm actually I'm either staying with friends or hotel.

352
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 11>I can't find an affordable apartment. It has gone up

353
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:32.240
<v Speaker 11>so high that I just it's impossible. And so that's

354
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 11>where I'm at. But I have saved. I am not

355
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:38.920
<v Speaker 11>you know, I knew something was coming. And if I

356
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.920
<v Speaker 11>can also say, I don't believe it's Biden, I don't

357
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 11>believe it was Trump. I think it goes back further.

358
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 11>I think it goes back to Obama. I think it

359
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.920
<v Speaker 11>has to do with overspending. I think the Fetter Reserve

360
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 11>has something to do with it. I think printing, printing,

361
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.240
<v Speaker 11>printing for many years. I think getting off the gold

362
00:21:57.240 --> 00:21:59.319
<v Speaker 11>and silver standard has a lot to do with it.

363
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.839
<v Speaker 11>I don't think it's just one administration. I think it's

364
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.680
<v Speaker 11>a very complex problem that we really need to learn from.

365
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I can tell you that that no matter

366
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.880
<v Speaker 2>who gets elected, Republicans and Democrats. When when Bill Clinton

367
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>left office, we were we had a federal debt of

368
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 2>about five trillion dollars. When George Bush left office eight

369
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 2>years that federal debt had increased to about ten It

370
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.440
<v Speaker 2>had doubled to about ten trillion dollars. When President Obama

371
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Speaker 2>left twenty sixteen, it was up to about twenty trillion dollars.

372
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:37.400
<v Speaker 2>It also doubled, and Donald Trump pushed it up, and

373
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden pushed it up. Now, both Biden and Trump

374
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.880
<v Speaker 2>could say, well, nobody else dealt with COVID, the world

375
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 2>shut down, but they both everything's gone up. We now

376
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 2>have a debt of about thirty five trillion dollars and

377
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 2>a GBT a gross domestic product GDP of about twenty

378
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>six twenty seven trillion dollars, and so that's dangerous areas

379
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.079
<v Speaker 2>to be I I loved your call, but I really

380
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.839
<v Speaker 2>got a run up gone on longer than I've gone

400
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 4>heart goes out to that last color where she sounds

401
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.079
<v Speaker 4>like a wholesome human being.

402
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, she was.

403
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 4>Not only not only I love the way she.

404
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Very intelligent, thoughtful, and clearly has done a lot to

405
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.839
<v Speaker 2>improve her lot and everything has gone southward.

406
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 4>Right, it sounds like she went from riches to rags.

407
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 4>It's really sad.

408
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you on that for sure. Thanks for making

409
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 2>that comment. That's very thoughtful. I hope she heard it.

410
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Thanks you too. So it stinks, As I told you, screener,

411
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to be poite about it before. First of all,

412
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 4>the Yeah, the music store that I've been working for

413
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.960
<v Speaker 4>since twenty thirteen is going out of business on September first,

414
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 4>and they're evicting the tenants and they're auctioning off everything

415
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:01.359
<v Speaker 4>in the building and they're selling the building going yep,

416
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.240
<v Speaker 4>I won't even get to say goodbye to my favorite

417
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.559
<v Speaker 4>piano that's in the cat corner in the back of

418
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.000
<v Speaker 4>the store.

419
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:13.200
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's terrible, really is terrible. Why are they

420
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 2>going out of business that.

421
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 4>People not Well, that's what I'm going to get to.

422
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Before the virus, I was working Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday

423
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 4>three days a week, and we were selling pianos and

424
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.440
<v Speaker 4>people were calling the store and they would drive me

425
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 4>out to tune them. But after, even though the pandemic

426
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:34.599
<v Speaker 4>is over, people the economy is such people don't want

427
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.920
<v Speaker 4>to pay that. People aren't wanting their pianos tone, they're

428
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.240
<v Speaker 4>not wanting to buy that. We haven't sold anything. Nobody's

429
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 4>calling the store looking for a tuner. H And it

430
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.880
<v Speaker 4>just got to the point where the wife and the

431
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.079
<v Speaker 4>two daughters told the husband, look, we can't do this anymore.

432
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.839
<v Speaker 4>The guy that owns it, the husband is a dieheart

433
00:25:57.880 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 4>acoustic piano person.

434
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:04.200
<v Speaker 2>But wall I want, I mean, have pianos gone out

435
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:05.119
<v Speaker 2>of style?

436
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:09.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, well, partially, I mean the digital pianos are

437
00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 4>becoming more popular because they're easier to move around. They

438
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 4>never needed tuning. It's like the Maytag with paying me.

439
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:16.640
<v Speaker 2>What is a digital piano?

440
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's not an acoustic. It's an electronic piano that's

441
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 4>pre tuned at the factory and it stays that way

442
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 4>through it. Because it's so it's.

443
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:32.400
<v Speaker 2>It's smaller, it's more portable, expensive, right, yes, yeah, but

444
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not that.

445
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't take ten men and a small boy to move it.

446
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'll hear you. I totally hear you. Yeah,

447
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.640
<v Speaker 2>but there's nothing like having a piano in your home.

448
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you have to, and they're not. It's

449
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.759
<v Speaker 2>not the most I mean, people can throw money away

450
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.960
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of stuff, but a piano, as always

451
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:54.119
<v Speaker 2>I thought was a pretty good investment because you're never

452
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 2>going to lose money.

453
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:57.880
<v Speaker 4>At the piano hand infect my hair goes off to

454
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Morgan Way while you were vacation vacation, he had the

455
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Winnikers on and he let me give my name and

456
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 4>number over the year if anybody wants here piano tune. Actually,

457
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.039
<v Speaker 4>the Winnikers said, can go and give this. There was

458
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 4>their idea. I hope the program director doesn't get upset.

459
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 2>But you did any business with I don't know not.

460
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:16.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's not a single call.

461
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you what what do you want to get?

462
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I hasten to do that. You know, do you do

463
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 2>you have a website that people can go to.

464
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.799
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm I'm computer illiterate. I'm a tragodyte. My friends

465
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.000
<v Speaker 4>call me troggy pooh.

466
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Why don't I do this if anybody wants needs a

467
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:38.319
<v Speaker 2>piano tuner instead of me having you put your number

468
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 2>out of the air, which can be dangerous. If anybody

469
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 2>is in need of a great piano tuner, Rob, you

470
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:50.519

476
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:06.400
<v Speaker 4>I haven't heard from you in a while. I weave

477
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 4>you messages, but I thought you didn't love me anymore,

478
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, I just.

479
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Get back from Europe. Man, I gotta tell you, do

480
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 2>you have many messages? How many emails I got to

481
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>get rid of? I trust?

482
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

483
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.759
<v Speaker 2>You know? And you know how many people call me

484
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:21.799
<v Speaker 2>during the day and they'll they'll call up just to

485
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of chat, and it's like, right, you know, as

486
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:28.039
<v Speaker 2>much as I love all you guys, I try to

487
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:30.880
<v Speaker 2>be a little a little fear.

488
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:35.400
<v Speaker 9>But it's just tough to spend, uh, you know, every

489
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:37.599
<v Speaker 9>you know, I get, you know, probably twenty to fifty

490
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.400
<v Speaker 9>phone calls a day and a couple of hundred emails

491
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 9>and emails a people who I don't know, and they're

492
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 9>looking for either advice I had. Yeah, well I'm legal

493
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.480
<v Speaker 9>or financial and I don't do financial advice because I'm

494
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.880
<v Speaker 9>not a certified you know, financial advisor.

495
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:58.000
<v Speaker 2>But I try to be polite. But you know, someone

496
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:00.559
<v Speaker 2>like you, you know, if you call up and just

497
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 2>tell me a story about what's going on, I'm probably

498
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:05.240
<v Speaker 2>not going to call you back and say, geez, Glenn,

499
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 2>that was an interesting story. If you call up and

500
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>you got a problem, that's a different story. So if

501
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:12.279
<v Speaker 2>anybody wants a great piano tuner in the greater Boston area,

502
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Glenn and Brighton does a great job. And if you

503
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:22.720
<v Speaker 2>want and reasonable reasonable prices with Glenn, okay, but they

504
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>got that under the wire there. And if you have

505
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.119
<v Speaker 2>a piano you want, how often do people get pianos.

506
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:31.279
<v Speaker 4>Tuned well ideal, you should do it every six months

507
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:33.359
<v Speaker 4>to maintain this. I mean if you do it a

508
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:35.000
<v Speaker 4>year or a year and a half, that's fine. What

509
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:37.920
<v Speaker 4>happens I wanted the stuff that hasn't been done since

510
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.359
<v Speaker 4>nineteen seventy three, and they wonder why it takes me

511
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.240
<v Speaker 4>five hours? And I tell them pianos are like teeth.

512
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 4>If you neglect them, they're going to let you know it.

513
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.440
<v Speaker 4>I know because I neglected my beautiful teeth.

514
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.599
<v Speaker 2>And now I have situation but that you should charge

515
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.160
<v Speaker 2>on a on a per hour basis as opposed to

516
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a per job basis.

517
00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I do by the job. Someone said I charge

518
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:01.519
<v Speaker 4>it should charge one hundred bucks an hour.

519
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, whatever I've come up with the number, maybe have

520
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.160
<v Speaker 2>a minimum number of one hundred and fifty dollars an hour.

521
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.720
<v Speaker 2>But if it's if it exceeds you, if it exceeds

522
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.960
<v Speaker 2>two hours, charge him seventy five an hour. So if

523
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.839
<v Speaker 2>it's four hours, it's three hundred dollars.

524
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Years ago, very quick, A couple of years ago, Johnny

525
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 4>mutual friend, Johnny Volzio, got me two pianos to tune

526
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.359
<v Speaker 4>at the Cattle Center and they gave me two hundred

527
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:28.480
<v Speaker 4>and fifty dollars apiece, but they have since gotten rid

528
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:32.839
<v Speaker 4>of the pianos. I don't know why what they all?

529
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, Glenn, we tried to generate some business that people

530
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.640
<v Speaker 2>would like to have. Glenn, come in to me a piano,

531
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:43.200
<v Speaker 2>reasonable price, great piano tuner, uh six eight seven, seven

532
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:45.799
<v Speaker 2>oh three three, and I'll pass. They'll ban numbers along. Okay,

533
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:50.079
<v Speaker 2>thanks Glenn, Thank you? All right, that quick break, coming

534
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:53.559
<v Speaker 2>right back on Nightside, Bill, Mike Herschel, Warren, We got

535
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:55.359
<v Speaker 2>you all coming up right after the break.

536
00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Way live from the Window World

537
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Nice Studios on WBZ News Radio.

538
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Here Herschel, Herschel's in Boston. Herschel, how's your economy?

539
00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:14.519
<v Speaker 8>Well, Dan, I have a particular view on all this stuff.

540
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:20.000
<v Speaker 8>I'm just I'm gonna try and make it quick. Number one,

541
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 8>I personally don't believe whether the Trump, Bush, Reagan, Obama, Clinton,

542
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:37.440
<v Speaker 8>Biden or Harris can fix the majority of our issues.

543
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 8>What happens is, as far as I'm concerned, each president

544
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.799
<v Speaker 8>gets in, each administration gets in, and they tinkle with

545
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.160
<v Speaker 8>certain stuff, and it seems like you're getting more money.

546
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.720
<v Speaker 8>But at some point in time, you're gonna you're gonna

547
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.039
<v Speaker 8>pay for what you're missing out on. Now, Okay, the

548
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.839
<v Speaker 8>stockholders control the gas prices, so you're the president, and

549
00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:02.359
<v Speaker 8>the gas prices go down, you get credit for that.

550
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.920
<v Speaker 8>But also when the gas prices go well, you take

551
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.599
<v Speaker 8>the hit for that.

552
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know about let me. Let me pick

553
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:11.279
<v Speaker 2>a fight with you just a little bit here. If

554
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden things blow up in the Middle

555
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 2>East tomorrow, okay, uh, and let's say that the hoodies

556
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.240
<v Speaker 2>are blocking you know, ships leaving for the Middle East.

557
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee if gas prices are going to go up

558
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.240
<v Speaker 2>because the supply, the gas supply will be reduced.

559
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:31.799
<v Speaker 8>And I agree with you there. I'm talking basic, everyday,

560
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 8>regular life. I'm not talking about extreme circumstances. Okay enough,

561
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 8>basically out of control.

562
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Of one of the reasons that the gas prices

563
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:44.519
<v Speaker 2>went down under Trump, and I will just say this

564
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.480
<v Speaker 2>is because of COVID. Fewer people were using their cars,

565
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.359
<v Speaker 2>So there are external factors that do affected.

566
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 8>But go ahead, that's true. But you know, again, we're

567
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:02.319
<v Speaker 8>talking about something extreme that's out of our basic everyday control. Okay,

568
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:11.680
<v Speaker 8>food prices, how many how many people actually own the

569
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 8>major food stores across the country, like the Shaws, the

570
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.480
<v Speaker 8>Stop and Shop, uh you know, and others tigli wiggly

571
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:22.519
<v Speaker 8>roups out in Capable.

572
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I think they're owned by big corporations. The Shaws is

573
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:30.279
<v Speaker 2>now owned by Colbertson there right, you know, I means

574
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:34.000
<v Speaker 2>is still a family owned business, but they're they're big corporations.

575
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:38.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well, I would say, and why can't this see,

576
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:43.039
<v Speaker 8>in my opinion, the things that the president can do

577
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 8>and they don't do because and this is a dirty

578
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:50.119
<v Speaker 8>statement that I'm about to make, sometimes they really back

579
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 8>off some stuff. It's almost like I'm going to give

580
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.319
<v Speaker 8>you part of this candy and I'm going to keep

581
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:01.759
<v Speaker 8>the other half so that you'll want more. Okay, If

582
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:04.359
<v Speaker 8>I was president, I would call all these corporations the

583
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.880
<v Speaker 8>head CEOs on a zoom call. If they look, these

584
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.079
<v Speaker 8>people out here are hurting. You need to fix it,

585
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 8>and I want each one of you to tell me

586
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.599
<v Speaker 8>now on a zoom call, how you're going to fix it,

587
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 8>and I'm gonna hold you to that.

588
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, that's called job boning. That's called job boning,

589
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.079
<v Speaker 2>and presidents have done that before. But I don't really

590
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:27.960
<v Speaker 2>want a president calling supermarkets and tell them to cut

591
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 2>prices because I think that that. Look, I go into

592
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 2>supermarkets now, this stuff that I bought five years ago

593
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 2>that I will not buy because the price is twice

594
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>twice as expensive. Okay, it's as simple as that. Okay,

595
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that's my decision. Now. If other fools are going to

596
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.960
<v Speaker 2>go in there and spend eight dollars for cookies that

597
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 2>cost three dollars you know, five years ago, that's not

598
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.239
<v Speaker 2>my problem. Good luck. Enjoy the cookies. They're not worth

599
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:54.480
<v Speaker 2>it to me.

600
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:55.039
<v Speaker 4>You know what.

601
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:59.280
<v Speaker 8>Now, your statement just leads me to my next point. Okay, Okay,

602
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.079
<v Speaker 8>Dad used to say this years ago. People do exactly

603
00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:05.960
<v Speaker 8>what they want to do, right, sure, And I look

604
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.000
<v Speaker 8>at the football stadiums, I look at the basketball games,

605
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:14.760
<v Speaker 8>the Olympics, yeah, women'ston tennis. These crowds are not lacking.

606
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 8>They're in there, so somebody's paying the price. And I

607
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.519
<v Speaker 8>just feel people pay what they want to. Pray. Now,

608
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.960
<v Speaker 8>when it comes down to a president again, I don't

609
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:31.119
<v Speaker 8>believe a president has all the answers. I think people

610
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:34.880
<v Speaker 8>vote for a president that has the charisma that they like.

611
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but we have a capitalistic system. What I'm saying

612
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:41.320
<v Speaker 2>is if you and I want to go to a

613
00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Patriots game, Okay, we're gonna have to pay to get

614
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.920
<v Speaker 2>a good seat. What now, two hundred bucks. I'm not

615
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:49.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna pay two hundred bucks to go to a Patriots

616
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:51.760
<v Speaker 2>game to get good seats. I'm gonna watch it on.

617
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.079
<v Speaker 8>TV, you know what. And I agree with you, But

618
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:56.400
<v Speaker 8>somebody's gonna pay.

619
00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 2>My point is, yeah, and as long as there's somebody

620
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.599
<v Speaker 2>paying two hundred bucks, keep charging two hundred bucks. That's

621
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:03.480
<v Speaker 2>what's called capitalism.

622
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:05.440
<v Speaker 8>Right, I know what. And the two hundred well, I

623
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:07.679
<v Speaker 8>don't have a problem capitalism. You know, get what you

624
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:11.119
<v Speaker 8>can get. My thing is, if people are paying what

625
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:14.559
<v Speaker 8>they want to pay, don't really complain too much because

626
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:15.599
<v Speaker 8>that's what you want to do.

627
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But at the same time, there are some people

628
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:21.079
<v Speaker 2>out there who do not have that disposable income. You

<v Speaker 3>I can't I can't do it here. And it's just

655
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:39.719

<v Speaker 3>I'll pay my tax, Dan, And it makes it hard

657
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.760
<v Speaker 3>for myself to stay in recovery, and doing this sort

658
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:49.880
<v Speaker 3>of stuff again. I see all those you know, Marty Healley,

661
00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.960
<v Speaker 3>do all that stuff. It worked, and I still can't afford.

662
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.559
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna make a hundred and thirty grand a year

663
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:04.320

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

665
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw that statistic today. Yeah, and that's that's ridiculous.

666
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:09.920
<v Speaker 3>That's it's ridiculous.

667
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:12.920

672
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there aren't that many people who have that that

673
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:35.360
<v Speaker 2>amount of disposable cash, that's for sure.

674
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 3>The cash is a credit score. I don't have a

675
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:39.599
<v Speaker 3>perfect Credis score.

676
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:40.519
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

677
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:44.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, I don't. A lot of people

678
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:46.719
<v Speaker 3>don't have a perfect score.

684
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:03.559

697
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:40.840
<v Speaker 2>who are coming in, and you should be able to

698
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:42.840
<v Speaker 2>work and build a little bit of cash and get

699
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.199
<v Speaker 2>back on your feet. That is what the right to

700
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:50.199
<v Speaker 2>shelter law was intended to do back in nineteen eighty three,

701
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:52.719
<v Speaker 2>and it has been turned now into a boondoggle for

702
