Speaker 1: Good morning, Cooner country. Okay, my friends, just a few
Speaker 1: hours ago, the House of Representatives passed the bill that
Speaker 1: was also passed the day before in the Senate, the
Speaker 1: Recisions Package that Trump promised he would muscle through Congress,
Speaker 1: and they did just in time. They had a Friday
Speaker 1: deadline later today, and both the Senate and the House,
Speaker 1: under Trump's prodding and leadership, have now delivered nine billion dollars.
Speaker 1: It is a spending cut, so called Recisions Package, that
Speaker 1: now will completely cut spending to the United States International
Speaker 1: Agency for Development USAID. All of that foreign aid is
Speaker 1: now gone, PBS, NPR, their funding has now been cut
Speaker 1: completely for the next two years gone, So nine billion
Speaker 1: dollars in total in real spending cuts as the as
Speaker 1: many papers have pointed out, this is the first time
Speaker 1: in over twenty five years that there's actually been a
Speaker 1: spending cut enacted by Congress, a true recisions package, not
Speaker 1: the usual slowing the growth of spending, but actually cutting something.
Speaker 1: And look, it was pretty obvious by going after USAID,
Speaker 1: which was the Democrats's private slush fund in which they
Speaker 1: use to bribe the media to send money to their
Speaker 1: favorite NGOs so they could continue to have open borders
Speaker 1: and resell settle this country with illegal aliens, and of
Speaker 1: course paying for transgender sex change operations, say in places
Speaker 1: like Columbia, or a pushing for DEI in Serbia and
Speaker 1: places all over the world. This was how the swamp
Speaker 1: a was able to buy off and control the media
Speaker 1: and b use money to subvert and control countries around
Speaker 1: the world. That pot of cash, that massive slush fund,
Speaker 1: is now gone. As for NPR and PBS, look, they
Speaker 1: say they can survive without taxpayer dollars. They've been claiming
Speaker 1: now for years that they're so profitable on their own,
Speaker 1: that they're generating all of this money from donation, from revenue,
Speaker 1: from support from viewers. Well, and that taxpayer dollars are
Speaker 1: just a drop in the bucket. Well, if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then you should have no problem with this. Instead of
Speaker 1: course NPR and PBS, we're acting like the sky is
Speaker 1: falling now. The question that they can't answer is these
Speaker 1: are both very far left media operations, so not even
Speaker 1: media this has They are left wing propagandists. So they're
Speaker 1: not interested in being nonpartisan, in being objective, which is
Speaker 1: what they should be. Remember it is National Public Radio
Speaker 1: NPR PBS. It is the public broadcasting service. It is
Speaker 1: supposed to be for all Americans of whatever political persuasion
Speaker 1: or stripe. And that's why you're receiving taxpayer money instead.
Speaker 1: For decade after decade after decade, not only have they
Speaker 1: been Democrat partisans, but they have been on the hard
Speaker 1: socialist left, pushing anti Americanism, hatred for this country, hatred
Speaker 1: for Conservatives, Republicans, the family, you name it, across the board.
Speaker 1: And so now finally the reckoning came. And why should I,
Speaker 1: as a conservative, why should you, as Trump supporters, have
Speaker 1: your taxpayer dollars go to fund a far left wing
Speaker 1: propaganda operation in the name of quote unquote public broadcasting.
Speaker 1: So no, they don't deserve and they shouldn't get our
Speaker 1: taxpayer money. Trump. Many Republicans have talked about it for
Speaker 1: decades to cut funding to NPR and cut off the
Speaker 1: money the flow to NPR and PBS. Trump is delivered.
Speaker 1: Many Republicans and conservatives have said it's time to cut
Speaker 1: foreign aid. Trump has delivered. So this is it's not,
Speaker 1: you know, nine billion in the larger scope of things,
Speaker 1: is you know, a drop in the ocean. I understand
Speaker 1: it's a seven trillion dollar budget. But it's an important
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. It may be a small step,
Speaker 1: but it's an important step. Now. The reason why this again,
Speaker 1: victory after victory after victory, The reason why the left
Speaker 1: is freaking out, and I mean they are losing their
Speaker 1: minds over this, is because not only is NPR and
Speaker 1: PBS now going to be in big trouble, so part
Speaker 1: of their media apparatus, their propaganda, state run media apparatus,
Speaker 1: just took a major blow. But it cuts off their
Speaker 1: ability now to bribe and redirect funds to prop up
Speaker 1: the New York Times, CNN, other Reuters, other media outlets
Speaker 1: that were receiving USAID money. So the swamp now has
Speaker 1: seen its power diminished substantially overall with this shows and
Speaker 1: as I was going to talk about this yesterday, but
Speaker 1: of course the whole, the whole Epstein scandal flared up again.
Speaker 1: But there's no question if you just stand back objectively,
Speaker 1: Trump is clearly on a roll. Trump is achieving and
Speaker 1: has racked up some historic achievements, whether it is on
Speaker 1: the border, whether it's with Iran, whether it's in foreign policy,
Speaker 1: whether it's with energy, whether you can run down the
Speaker 1: women in sports. He has broken to the University of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: He is breaking Havid over anti Semitism. What you're seeing
Speaker 1: is accomplishment after accomplishment after accomplishment. And this recisions package,
Speaker 1: which is now going to go right to his desk
Speaker 1: for him to sign, comes on the heels of the
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. What Now, there's a poll out and
Speaker 1: I think this explains not everything, but it explains a lot.
Speaker 1: That even in the midst of the Epstein uproar, you
Speaker 1: would think Trump's poll numbers would be dropping like a stone. No,
Speaker 1: Trump's poll numbers are in fact going up amidst Epstein scandal,
Speaker 1: not going down. They're going up. And I believe, and
Speaker 1: you may disagree with me, but this is what I
Speaker 1: wanted to do on yesterday's show, which is to talk
Speaker 1: about Trump's, to me, I think, to tremendous handling of
Speaker 1: the economy. One of the reasons why his approval ratings
Speaker 1: are getting, you know, are going up and they continue
Speaker 1: to go up, and why so many are giving him
Speaker 1: high marks is because, yes, he's done a phenomenal job
Speaker 1: on the border. Yes they agree with his deportations, but
Speaker 1: the American public now are starting to feel that we
Speaker 1: are in the midst of a booming, roaring economy, and
Speaker 1: he's doing a great job on the economy if you
Speaker 1: just stand back objectively. He has tamed inflation. Inflation now
Speaker 1: is essentially dead. He has lowered gas prices. I talked
Speaker 1: about this yesterday. A little bit I can tell you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know in my area regular I put
Speaker 1: regular in my car two ninety nine, it's under three
Speaker 1: bucks when I tank up. It's about fifty fifty two
Speaker 1: bucks now to tank up my car under Joey it
Speaker 1: was eighty dollars seventy eight, seventy six, seventy nine that range.
Speaker 1: I am saving at least twenty five dollars a week
Speaker 1: every time I tank up my car. I mean, you
Speaker 1: just do the math. That's one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 1: That's one thousand, four hundred dollars, sorry, a thousand, two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year. I mean it adds up. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not peanuts. He's now brought in true millions of
Speaker 1: dollars in foreign investment. He's now unleashed a manufacturing renaissance
Speaker 1: here in the United States. He has won the trade
Speaker 1: war with China. Everybody said it couldn't be done. He's
Speaker 1: done it. He has slashed the budget deficit by a
Speaker 1: third a third, and in the Big Beautiful Bill, he
Speaker 1: has delivered the biggest tax cut in US history. So
Speaker 1: you look at what Trump has accomplished, and this is
Speaker 1: in just six months. It is absolutely incredible. And I
Speaker 1: believe the economy is only going to get stronger and
Speaker 1: stronger and stronger. And so my question to you, and
Speaker 1: I really want this to be a caller driven show
Speaker 1: today because you're the ones that can really answer this.
Speaker 1: Are you the benefits of the Trump economy? Okay, a
Speaker 1: couple lines are open. Once the lines are full, cooner
Speaker 1: Man's gonna unleash the hounds. I would like to ask
Speaker 1: all of you, the great audience of Kooner Country, are
Speaker 1: you feeling the benefits of the Trump economy? Yes or no?
Speaker 1: Whether it's paying your bills, whether it's when you go
Speaker 1: grocery shopping, whether it's going out to eat or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, or you're tanking up you know, at your
Speaker 1: local gas station. Is the economy getting better for you?
Speaker 1: Because if you look at what's at least the statistics,
Speaker 1: if you look at the data, the numbers, there's no question,
Speaker 1: absolutely no question, that the economy now is getting better
Speaker 1: and better and better. Remember just three months ago, they
Speaker 1: all said the sky was falling. That when Trump announced
Speaker 1: Liberation Day on the tariffs, they said this was going
Speaker 1: to spark a recession, maybe even a great depression, That
Speaker 1: it was going to lead to a crash in the
Speaker 1: stock market, that it was the end is nigh, that
Speaker 1: this was going to be economic armageddon. And instead stock
Speaker 1: market now all time high. It's never been higher, and
Speaker 1: I think it's going to continue to keep going up
Speaker 1: and up and up. He's now cutting trade deals. He
Speaker 1: just did a big deal with Great Britain. He's done
Speaker 1: a deal with Vietnam and Indonesia, and of course he
Speaker 1: has now broken China in that trade war. He has
Speaker 1: won the trade war with China. Revenue from customs is
Speaker 1: now pouring into the treasury over twenty five billion dollars
Speaker 1: a month billion with the b So we're going to
Speaker 1: get about two hundred and five fifty billion dollars more
Speaker 1: in the budget because of Trump's tariffs. So manufacturing now
Speaker 1: is booming. You just had in Pennsylvania another big deal
Speaker 1: announced by Trump, Artificial intelligence, new technology ninety two billion
Speaker 1: dollar investment. Pennsylvania is going to be at the hub,
Speaker 1: the very center of the AI new technology revolution. Nearly
Speaker 1: ten trillion dollars in foreign investment pouring into our country. Factories,
Speaker 1: plants are being built everywhere. As I mentioned, the budget
Speaker 1: deficit is now being cut by a third. You have
Speaker 1: the big beautiful bill, no taxes on tips, no taxes
Speaker 1: on overtime. You've got the biggest tax cut in history.
Speaker 1: Go on and on and on. Now I can just
Speaker 1: say this because this is where Grace and I slightly disagree.
Speaker 1: I believe now we are starting to enter just the
Speaker 1: beginning of Trump's golden age. I do the shopping in
Speaker 1: the house. Prices could be lower, I agree, But eggs
Speaker 1: are way down. Eggs under Biden went up over two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty percent. Under Trump, they have gone down
Speaker 1: sixty nine percent. I'm I'm able now to get eggs
Speaker 1: at about three dollars three fifty maybe even four, you know,
Speaker 1: four bucks, but more like three fifty three dollars for
Speaker 1: twelve eggs. Under Biden it was practically double. So I
Speaker 1: see the price of eggs. They're coming down. Meat, it's
Speaker 1: starting to It's still high, but it's starting to come down.
Speaker 1: Fruits and vegetables, they're starting to taper down. Look what's
Speaker 1: happened is they're not going up, and the prices at
Speaker 1: least when I shop, have stabilized. For for some things.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to notice a little here, a little there,
Speaker 1: prices are starting to slowly come down. I mention when
Speaker 1: I tank up, I clearly see the difference. Now I'd
Speaker 1: like it to be, you know, a buck eighty nine
Speaker 1: a gallon, like we had under Trump in his first term.
Speaker 1: I'm still paying almost three dollars a gallon. I think
Speaker 1: I was like maybe thirty eight or thirty six dollars
Speaker 1: he would cost me to tank up under Trump in
Speaker 1: his first term. You know, I'm about fifty now fifty
Speaker 1: two dollars, but it's not eighty as it was under Biden.
Speaker 1: So I feel it every time I tank up my car. Now.
Speaker 1: Grace disagrees. She says the tariffs are now causing a
Speaker 1: little bit of inflation. She works in the housing she's
Speaker 1: a real estate agent, so she says the housing market
Speaker 1: is dead. People are not buying homes, they're not selling homes.
Speaker 1: To me, that's because of Jerome Powell. I think Trump
Speaker 1: should fire him. I think he has the right to
Speaker 1: fire him. I think he should fire him. I think
Speaker 1: what's killing the housing market is not the tariffs. I
Speaker 1: believe it's the high interest rates. They're way too high,
Speaker 1: absurdly too high, and they're they're they're they're they're they're
Speaker 1: like they're suffocating the economy, at least in the housing sector.
Speaker 1: So you know, if Powell should be cutting rates and
Speaker 1: cutting rates substantially, and so I think he's trying to
Speaker 1: sabotage the Trump economy. Okay, but that's me. But Gray
Speaker 1: says the housing market's not moving. She says she's not
Speaker 1: seeing the differences in prices going down when we go shopping.
Speaker 1: We got ourselves a membership at Costco. This is maybe
Speaker 1: about two months ago, and Grace says, the only reason
Speaker 1: why I'm seeing prices go down is because now we're
Speaker 1: shopping at Costco, which you know, you buy in bulk,
Speaker 1: but you get good deals. She says, No, it's the
Speaker 1: Costco effect. That's what I'm She says, that's what you're
Speaker 1: not seeing. She agrees gas prices are a little bit down,
Speaker 1: but she said I wanted more and I expected more,
Speaker 1: So according to her, she says, I we're not feeling it.
Speaker 1: She says, what Greek, Jeff, what economic Golden Age? Things
Speaker 1: aren't worse. Things would have been much worse with Biden
Speaker 1: and Kamala, according to Grace, But she said so far,
Speaker 1: she claims she's not feeling the Trump economy. I am,
Speaker 1: I want to hear from you. Six one seven two
Speaker 1: six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Are
Speaker 1: your bills getting lower? Are your way is going up?
Speaker 1: Are you feeling lower prices at the gas pomp when
Speaker 1: you buy food groceries, when you go out to eat.
Speaker 1: Is your standard of living starting to get better under Trump?
Speaker 1: Or has not much changed? Six seven two six six
Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight is the number. You can also
Speaker 1: text the cooner man seven zero four seven zero seven
Speaker 1: zero four seven zero. This is from six to three.
Speaker 1: And honestly, the biggest complaint I'm getting. I mean, I
Speaker 1: notice it as well, obviously, and Grace tells me about
Speaker 1: this every night. But I mean, from the audience, from
Speaker 1: this great audience about the economy is the housing market.
Speaker 1: A the rental market, which is way too high, but
Speaker 1: the housing market, how so many homes are preposterously expensive.
Speaker 1: So this is from six to oh three, Jeff. In
Speaker 1: the housing market, it's not just the interest rates that
Speaker 1: are affecting buying. Have you seen the ridiculous prices they're
Speaker 1: asking for houses. A place that should run two hundred
Speaker 1: to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is going for
Speaker 1: four hundred to four hundred and fifty thousand. They've literally
Speaker 1: priced potential buyers right out of the market by doubling
Speaker 1: the cost. So buying has cooled off. You see, I
Speaker 1: could tell that's a New Hampshire text, not just by
Speaker 1: the area code, but by the prices. A home that
Speaker 1: should cost you two hundred and fifty thousand they're charging
Speaker 1: for four hundred or four hundred and fifty thousand. Sandy,
Speaker 1: what is two fifty get you here in Massachusetts? Hell?
Speaker 1: What is four fifty get you here in Massachusetts today? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking twenty thirty years ago, but today? What
Speaker 1: a shock? You know? I mean, obviously it depends where
Speaker 1: you live, but in many areas six' oh three you're
Speaker 1: looking at seven, hundred eight, hundred nine hundred thousand a million.
Speaker 1: Easy in so many parts Of, massachusetts it's it's. Insane, yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: sandy says in my. Ear you, know Through, mike you
Speaker 1: know four hundred thousand may get you a box under
Speaker 1: a bridge here In. Boston you know you're you're with
Speaker 1: the homeless people with four hundred. Thousand let me just
Speaker 1: do one more and Then i'm going to go to
Speaker 1: the phone lines six one seven two six six sixty
Speaker 1: eight sixty. Eight this is From nancy on, Messenger, JEFF
Speaker 1: i do feel some relief on prices at the grocery,
Speaker 1: store and WHEN i fill up my, car the only,
Speaker 1: bill and this is very, true the only bill that's
Speaker 1: not going down is my electric. Bill same thing with.
Speaker 1: Me that's my biggest complaint every freaking month is that
Speaker 1: energy slash electric. Bill but let that. Go the only
Speaker 1: bill that's not going down is my electric. Bill SO
Speaker 1: i have to disagree With. GRACE i think in another
Speaker 1: six months this country will be booming and then we
Speaker 1: will all be saving. Money And Jerome powell has to.
Speaker 1: Go we must get interest rates. Down the housing market is.
Speaker 1: STAGNANT i agree with, You, nancy right across the, board
Speaker 1: every single. Point get rid Of. Powell if we just
Speaker 1: get rid of him and start cutting interest rates, already
Speaker 1: you're going to feel the housing market start to really pick.
Speaker 1: Up six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty
Speaker 1: Eight scott In New. Hampshire thanks for Holding scott and.
Speaker 2: WELCOME i LOVE i love your. SHOW i love listening to.
Speaker 2: YOU i listened to you all the. TIME i have
Speaker 2: TO i have to be On grace's side right. Now
Speaker 2: and let me preface that by, Saying i've been in
Speaker 2: the construction market for forty. Years i've seen, many you, know, recessions,
Speaker 2: booms Bus i've seen it. All and What grace has
Speaker 2: put her finger on, is, yes the construction houses are,
Speaker 2: down but also building, warehouses building, schools building police, stations
Speaker 2: industrial buildings is also. Down, Okay and and and there's
Speaker 2: a real good reason for. That the, developers the people
Speaker 2: who actually want to start a new warehouse or a,
Speaker 2: school they're in a state of. Flux and the reason
Speaker 2: they're in a state of flux is because they're they're
Speaker 2: Very the banks are very hesitant to lend them the
Speaker 2: money because the interest. Rates look at it like, This,
Speaker 2: jeff if you're gonna build a ten million dollar project
Speaker 2: and you're being, told, well the interest rates are gonna
Speaker 2: come down a little, bit you, know if you to
Speaker 2: apply for a construction. Loan if you if, you if
Speaker 2: you just Say, JESUS i can just hold, off you,
Speaker 2: know a quarter or a half percent. Interest you know
Speaker 2: how much money that's gonna save me over. Time that's
Speaker 2: that's one reason that developers are hanging holding off is
Speaker 2: the interest. Rates the other thing is there's a big
Speaker 2: sense of caution with the. Terraffs just the terraffs people
Speaker 2: are holding. Back there's a sense of caution out. There
Speaker 2: And i'll explain it to you one more one more, Way.
Speaker 2: Jeff when when a when a project goes out forbidding
Speaker 2: a year, ago And i've seen, this AND i always
Speaker 2: ask the developersiness and the construction general construction, MANAGERS i
Speaker 2: say house, Business and a year ago they, said, Well
Speaker 2: i'm pretty, busy you, know and they're hesitant to get
Speaker 2: any more bid any more jobs because they're quite. Busy
Speaker 2: they're booked for the. Year so most projects have two
Speaker 2: or three. BIDDERS i talk to those same people this
Speaker 2: year and they're bidding much more because they're not booked
Speaker 2: with construction. Projects and now it's more competitive and they
Speaker 2: have six or seven bidders on that same. Job what
Speaker 2: does that tell you it tells you there's not as
Speaker 2: much work going.
Speaker 1: On And, scott you're saying that you think a lot
Speaker 1: of it HAS i, mean interest rates are too high
Speaker 1: and they sense they're going to come. Down so if
Speaker 1: you were, saying let me, wait because it's going to
Speaker 1: save me a lot of. Money so that's freezing some,
Speaker 1: ACTIVITY i hear. You but you're saying a lot of
Speaker 1: it has to do with the tariffs because it's causing
Speaker 1: uncertainty and people fear that it could lead to price,
Speaker 1: increases so they're, saying let me hold, on let me, wait, correct.
Speaker 2: Correct let me let me just talk to you about
Speaker 2: one little. Thing, Okay so if you're going to bit
Speaker 2: a job and you're an, electrician electricians have miles and
Speaker 2: miles of copper just to bit a. Job IF i
Speaker 2: did a job AND i and my copper, WIRE i
Speaker 2: bid it for ten thousand dollars for the, job and
Speaker 2: then the project gets developed and in six months it.
Speaker 2: Starts now that same copper could be thirty thousand, Dollars
Speaker 2: so there's also that sense of.
Speaker 1: Caution, Interesting, scott do you, think let me just ask you,
Speaker 1: this do you Think trump made a mistake in imposing the,
Speaker 1: tariffs or do you think the mistake is he hasn't
Speaker 1: settled on a. Number in other, words he's doing different
Speaker 1: deals with different. Countries the negotiations are dragging. On he
Speaker 1: pushed a deadline back again To. August in other, words
Speaker 1: is it a tariff itself or is it just the
Speaker 1: uncertainty because it's different tariffs for different countries and they
Speaker 1: haven't settled on a number yet because he's still.
Speaker 2: Negotiating these negotiations are taking way too, long you, know
Speaker 2: it's just dragging out the uncertainty and it's holding off
Speaker 2: more projects. Longer he's got to get this thing, done you,
Speaker 2: know one way or the, other so businesses can actually
Speaker 2: plot their clus coming, forward but they can't right now
Speaker 2: because we're in a state of. Flux.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Interesting, scott really really informative. Call, Scott thank you
Speaker 1: very much for that. Call so, there, yeh you, KNOW
Speaker 1: I trump's people are, listening you, KNOW i, mean here's

Speaker 1: rating goes up during The epstein. Uproar the latest batch
Speaker 1: of polls Shows trump is actually getting even more, popular

Speaker 3: Go and the other THING i wanted to say is
Speaker 3: about the. Housing the, HOUSE i, mean especially around. HERE
Speaker 3: i think it's more so more because the prices are
Speaker 3: so not, more BUT i think a lot of the
Speaker 3: reason about what the housing. Is the prices are just really,
Speaker 3: ridiculously it's. Absurd although in some areas Like, FLORIDA i know.
Speaker 2: Prices are starting to go.
Speaker 3: Down because my mother we're selling our house and my
Speaker 3: mother is moving To, florida so and the housing has
Speaker 3: gone down and is going down In florida, then and
Speaker 3: our real realtor said that the housing is going to
Speaker 3: start the prices are going to start going down a little.
Speaker 3: Bit it's going to be stopped being more of a
Speaker 3: SELLER i mean that buyer's, market BUT i mean it's
Speaker 3: still kind of a seller's, market she, said but it's
Speaker 3: going to be a buyer's. MARKET i really don't know
Speaker 3: how people can afford buying houses around here with.
Speaker 1: You, You, heather it's funny you should mention. This last,
Speaker 1: night just last, NIGHT i was talking To, grace you,

Speaker 1: prices are dropping like a Stone Port Saint. Lucy if
Speaker 1: your mom's looking for a House Port Saint, lucy you
Speaker 1: can get a beautiful home three, hundred three hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1: Thousand and the reason is a lot of second homes
Speaker 1: are In. Florida people can't afford a second home right,
Speaker 1: now and they're worried, about you, know the high cost
Speaker 1: of insurance near these flooding, areas so people are leaving
Speaker 1: and for whatever. Reason And Port Saint lucy is not
Speaker 1: in a hurricane, zone But Fort Saint lucy you can
Speaker 1: get them for a. Steal. Arizona prices are dropping like.
Speaker 1: Crazy Las. Vegas you can snatch up now a really
Speaker 1: good deal In Las. Vegas so in those Pockets, nevada
Speaker 1: Especially Las, Vegas, arizona where a lot of people will,
Speaker 1: Retire florida, obviously where a lot of people retire for whatever,
Speaker 1: reason now the housing market is seeing a massive drop
Speaker 1: in prices. Here, Look, heather, Like i'm in the, Confessional,
Speaker 1: Okay i'm telling you my house is nothing. IMPRESSIVE i
Speaker 1: MEAN i live in a you, know okay. Neighborhood you,
Speaker 1: know rent them is a nice. Community BUT i don't

Speaker 1: live coming down. Good is there any part of your personal,
Speaker 1: finances your standard of living that you Think trump should

Speaker 1: Bill that's the one. Thing it just keeps going, up
Speaker 1: my utility energy electric. Bill it's. Insane it's absolutely. Insane
Speaker 1: that's the one thing it's not going down. Now in many,
Speaker 1: ways there's nothing he can do about, it because this
Speaker 1: is all mora heally and this net zero push that they,
Speaker 1: have this insane that zero, push that zero carbon, push
Speaker 1: and so they're trying to put you, know more, solar more,
Speaker 1: wind more of these so called, renewables which are extremely
Speaker 1: inefficient and very. Expensive so they're deliberately now trying to
Speaker 1: raise the price of energy in this. State so in,
Speaker 1: sense there's a little That trump can. Do But i'm
Speaker 1: just telling you that's the One achilles heel these. Are
Speaker 1: my national grid bill is. Insane it's just it's just
Speaker 1: like you're gonna you, know, really it's just you're gonna
Speaker 1: force me out of the state if. Discontinues nobody can
Speaker 1: keep paying this month after month after. Month, agree disagree
Speaker 1: six one seven two six six sixty. Eight sixty eight
Speaker 1: is the NUMBER cj In. Boston thanks for HOLDING cj
Speaker 1: and welcome, yees you.
Speaker 4: Know and it's great for gasoline to go down and
Speaker 4: for avocados to go. Down BUT i don't think that's
Speaker 4: what's Concerning. Americans americans feel once again the pride That
Speaker 4: america once had taken away from taking away From americans
Speaker 4: by The obamas and The Joe, bidens Where obama gave
Speaker 4: the The iranians the capability of getting the bomb delivered
Speaker 4: to the delivered down one hundred and fifty dollars one
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion dollars on a. Pallet joe letting
Speaker 4: in millions and millions of illegals taking, jobs murdering and
Speaker 4: rating our. Citizens that's what people are concerned. About they're
Speaker 4: not concerned about the almighty, dollar although that is a
Speaker 4: concern here our. Economy let's get onto the. Tariffs the
Speaker 4: month before the tarriffs were imposed The United, states that
Speaker 4: CAN i don't have billion dollars in. Tariffs the month
Speaker 4: after When President trump imposed imposed the, tariffs it was
Speaker 4: sixteen and a half million. Dollars what he needs to
Speaker 4: do is to get rid Of, POWELL a lot of
Speaker 4: these homes in The city Of boston that we're listed
Speaker 4: are being pulled off the market because.
Speaker 2: There are no.
Speaker 4: Bias nobody's going to buy house at nearly seven nearly seven.
Speaker 4: Percent infrastrating The city Of. Boston last week report on
Speaker 4: real estate And Metropolitan, boston the average cost of a
Speaker 4: home in metropolitan In boston was over one million. Dollars
Speaker 4: and what city officials need to, recognize And i've been
Speaker 4: trying to point out the, years if you take major
Speaker 4: cities such As, Springfield, Boston, worcester when you go up on,
Speaker 4: taxes your insurance automatically goes up on. Taxes and if
Speaker 4: you own a two or three or four family, house
Speaker 4: what these elected officials are doing is actually raising the
Speaker 4: cost of rent and raising the cost of leases to
Speaker 4: these poor people who were stuck into this ever. Source
Speaker 4: let's get on to ever. Source you want to know
Speaker 4: why your bill IS o. HI i have been on
Speaker 4: this for about six. Months channel five Investigator Ben, semon
Speaker 4: who did it an outstanding job and exposing most of what's.
Speaker 4: Happened BUT i have sent him two emails to expose
Speaker 4: what the true problem of every source Of national grid.
Speaker 4: Is and that's the mass spare share. Program and for
Speaker 4: people unfamiliar with, that the legislature passed the bill in
Speaker 4: which you pay a certain amount of money to take
Speaker 4: advantage of certain this certain program in order to get heat,
Speaker 4: pumps new. Boilers uh uh and insulation around your your,
Speaker 4: say your hot water. Heater here's the big problem with
Speaker 4: this mass say. Program it's. Discriminatory no, renter no leaser
Speaker 4: can improve a house is energy efficiency without the express
Speaker 4: consent of the owner of the. Property this bill is
Speaker 4: was highly. Discriminatory it needs to be. Repealed and, UH
Speaker 4: i guess the big news of the day is The
Speaker 4: Donald trump ump has ordered Tam bondi to go to
Speaker 4: the courts to see what can bill be released on
Speaker 4: the on The epstein. File and IF i just may
Speaker 4: make a quick point on your show yesterday On. Epstein
Speaker 4: When epstein was arrested In, florida they did not federally
Speaker 4: prosecute him where it was that he was a government.
Speaker 4: Asset so if he was a government, asset the question
Speaker 4: needs to be, asked did they want to hold back
Speaker 4: information because our own government was involved in this setup
Speaker 4: to to extort money for people or or to use
Speaker 4: them for their political views.
Speaker 1: Well, YEAH i, MEAN i, MEAN i hear. YOU i
Speaker 1: JUST i want to stay focused on the economy because
Speaker 1: we've Done epstein quite a. Bit but, no the sheriff
Speaker 1: who was part of the plea, deal who Arrested epstein
Speaker 1: came out and, said, NO i was told by very you,
Speaker 1: know people high, up so easy On. Epstein he's quote
Speaker 1: an intelligence, asset and you know he's got no reason to.
Speaker 1: Lie so that's WHY i, say come, on don't tell
Speaker 1: me this guy was IN cia or maybe Even massade
Speaker 1: or who. Knows AND i did see that story as.
Speaker 1: WELL i think it's a very good. Development it Shows
Speaker 1: trump is listening to his, bass and you, know, hopefully palm,
Speaker 1: bound he's going to release some. Information he, says he
Speaker 1: wants it to be. Credible he doesn't want to, have you,
Speaker 1: know just accusations being thrown around or people's reputations being
Speaker 1: destroyed with no evidence. Whatsoever so hopefully we'll see a
Speaker 1: little bit of action on that. Front but, LOOK cj
Speaker 1: to me AND i hear you to, me what is remarkable,
Speaker 1: is even though it's a bit of a family, feud you,
Speaker 1: know a bit of family, drama he's taken a lot
Speaker 1: of blowback from many of his most diehard, supporters but
Speaker 1: his numbers continue to go, up AND i think that's
Speaker 1: a testament to just how successful he's been the last six.
Speaker 1: Months AND i think part of, it it's not all of,
Speaker 1: it BUT i think a good part of it is
Speaker 1: people are starting to feel it a little. Bit things
Speaker 1: are getting better on the economy and in their own personal.
Speaker 1: Lives AND i, KNOW, I i mean, AGAIN i feel.
Speaker 1: It not you, Know i'm not Saying i'm living high
Speaker 1: on the, hog BUT i clearly feel. It things are getting.
Speaker 1: Better and my sense is once he can nail down
Speaker 1: these trade deals and really get stability with these, TARIFFS
Speaker 1: i think the sky's the. Limit especially if you can
Speaker 1: get rid of your Own powell and start cutting interest,
Speaker 1: RATES i think you're going to see this thing just absolutely.
Speaker 1: Boom so fingers. Crossed But trump right, now he's on the.
Speaker 1: Brink he's on the brink of maybe an unprecedented economic,
Speaker 1: expansion and with that riding into the, midterms he's going
Speaker 1: to slaughter The democrats six to. One thank you for that,
Speaker 1: CALL cj six one seven two six six six sixty.
Speaker 1: EIGHT i, mean that's why he's so frustrated With, powell
Speaker 1: and he's. Right you, know you look At switzerland and
Speaker 1: their inflation is very similar to. Ours their interest rates
Speaker 1: now forget one percent literally zero point two five, percent
Speaker 1: one quarter of one, percent and the other, COUNTRIES i,
Speaker 1: mean you, know They're he's you, know And trump's, saying
Speaker 1: so let me get this. Straight you've got our interest
Speaker 1: rates how? HIGH i, mean it's just you, know you
Speaker 1: won't lower rates while everybody's dropping, theirs and our inflation
Speaker 1: is as, good or if not even less than what
Speaker 1: other countries. Have you're trying to suffocate the. Economy you
Speaker 1: don't want to see a housing boom because if the
Speaker 1: housing market, booms the rest of the economy will. Follow
Speaker 1: SO i THINK i think that's a big reason he's
Speaker 1: got to get rid Of. Powell six one seven two
Speaker 1: six six sixty eight sixty eight is the. Number but,
Speaker 1: ANYWAY i don't want to get into you, know policy.
Speaker 1: Weeds but there's no question things are better than they
Speaker 1: were Under, biden at least for, me and they're only
Speaker 1: going to Get they're only going to continue to get.
Speaker 1: Better agree Disagree six one seven two six six sixty
Speaker 1: eight sixty. Eight john In. Malden thanks for Holding john
Speaker 1: and Welcome.
Speaker 5: Lord And. Jeff johnny. Morning prayers go out To President
Speaker 5: trunk because on the news he's been having some troublesome
Speaker 5: health health issues. Veins, yeah so that's another thing. TOO
Speaker 5: ninek too is about epstein. FILES a couple of comments on.
Speaker 5: That and something else is that it there is a,
Speaker 5: list Which i'm sure there. Is President trump knows what
Speaker 5: to do and he can use that to his. Advantage
Speaker 5: and he's, gonna you, know make sure that that if
Speaker 5: his girlfriend does go out and say something To, congress
Speaker 5: makes it To congress at, least you, know she should
Speaker 5: be well, protected you, know for her to get there
Speaker 5: to say something and for and nothing to. Is i'm
Speaker 5: not worry About epstein's files right. Now more thing is
Speaker 5: If chicken Little, fauci if he has no, immunity go after,
Speaker 5: him arrest him, definitely you, know, uh, criming crimeing against
Speaker 5: humanity for what he. Did that that's one. Thing and
Speaker 5: for the. Economy, jeff do you when you go shopping
Speaker 5: do you take your kids with?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: Sometimes? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Sometimes, yeah that's the important, thing peace to. Kids because
Speaker 5: my files.
Speaker 2: Like that go and.
Speaker 5: SHOPPING i would go with. Him the important thing is
Speaker 5: there's always you, know you always look for a better,
Speaker 5: deal you, know even for somewhere else if you just you,
Speaker 5: know even though if you go to the regular shopping
Speaker 5: center that you usually go. To that's the important thing
Speaker 5: is you look for, uh you, know go shopping and
Speaker 5: you look for a, deal and you see what prices are,
Speaker 5: what and you just go accordingly to what you, know
Speaker 5: what you can. Afford and the first call Is, scott
Speaker 5: he was right about that about the terrafts and all that,
Speaker 5: stuff and the building materials and all that. That that's
Speaker 5: one THING i want to bring out on. That it
Speaker 5: depends on what's going on with the. Terrorists and he's
Speaker 5: trying to swing deals with other, countries which is you,
Speaker 5: know it's it's falling into place because they know that
Speaker 5: he's got of got him on on the.
Speaker 2: Terrace and that's that's the.
Speaker 5: Outlook what's going on right?
Speaker 1: Now, well you KNOW i, think, LOOK i, Think, john
Speaker 1: you put your finger on. It IF i was Advising,
Speaker 1: TRUMP i would say on the economic, FRONT i, SAID
Speaker 1: i don't know how much more you can do really,
Speaker 1: honestly you, Know that's WHAT i would tell. Him, look
Speaker 1: interest rates are way too. High you're, Right powell is
Speaker 1: killing you on. That you, KNOW i think you have
Speaker 1: the right to fire. HIM i think you should fire.
Speaker 1: Him even if you don't fire. Him powell's term is
Speaker 1: coming to an end pretty, soon and he's going to
Speaker 1: replace him with you, know he's got a couple of.
Speaker 1: Candidates they're infinitely. Better so interest rates will come, down so,
Speaker 1: eventually you, know we're really going to see rates be
Speaker 1: what they should. Be my advice to him would be
Speaker 1: focused like a laser beam on these deals and get
Speaker 1: this tariff regime really set in. Place and that's because
Speaker 1: that's creating uncertainty and a little bit of in stability
Speaker 1: in the business. Community people are holding off on projects
Speaker 1: or whatever it may, be on investments because they're waiting
Speaker 1: for what the final price of so many things are
Speaker 1: going to.
Speaker 5: Be.
Speaker 1: NOW i Know, trump he just look that deal he
Speaker 1: just did With. INDONESIA i, MEAN i don't want to.
Speaker 1: Crow you, know when you've out maneuvered your, adversary you shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Crow but he took them to the. Cleaners So, indonesia
Speaker 1: which they've never done, before is going to open up
Speaker 1: their market completely to all of our, products zero percent,
Speaker 1: tariff zero literally zero, zilch. Nothing we're going to be
Speaker 1: tariffing them nineteen. PERCENT i mean IT'S i, mean he
Speaker 1: killed Them, vietnam same, Thing Great. Britain he got a
Speaker 1: great deal With Great. Britain so he wants to, get
Speaker 1: as you, know the best deal possible with The European.
Speaker 1: Union
