[music] Good morning. Good morning. The day is getting brighter out there. I hope you're able to enjoy it. It's a fun Friday here on WBSM. And we're joined by very fun guy, informative guy, my good friend Lenny Mo Jr. Good morning, Lenny. How are you? Yeah, good morning, Chris. How you doing today? Doing very well. Very well. Sun's coming out. Sun is coming out. Drove in here on the rain. It was coming in heavy in Fair Haven, especially New uh New Bedford, but um it's coming out now. looking nice. Yeah, we had a good Sunday. We were out there. He took me all around Rahobath. Um, lot of stuff coming up, Lenny. We stopped by Homestead Farm out there in Rehobith, right on Homestead Avenue in Rehobith, owned by one of your colleagues. What a unique place uh to stop. Everybody should stop by Homestead Farm. That's a unique place owned by one of your colleagues. Yeah. Um Skip Vades, who's been a selectman and working in Rio for over 40 years now. Um he has a farm. Homestead Farms. It's been it's been there a long time since the 60s. And um what Skip does there is he raises pigs and cows and all kind of animals. And um they sell them they sell the fresh meat there. They have a they have a store there. They're allowed to do that in Massachusetts as long as the the um the food is grown on the farm. They can have a store there. So they're allowed to do that. And it's in a um beautiful area. And the food is the steaks and the hamburgs and things like that are delicious because it's all fed the best of food. There's no uh antibiotics and things in it. So yeah, that's a good place to stop in and get some healthy good food. It really is. I and I love hanging out over there in Rehobath. Um Lenny, we got some people on hold. Let's see what what what's what's happening. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Yeah. Um anyone listening, uh go to DSA. So, um I think he I think it was a DSA. I think that was a socialist. Oh. A Democrat socialist. Was it? Yeah. Who's taking over They're all taking over the Democrat party. The the Democrats are being pushed out by the socialists. Yeah. It's uh it's coming on more and more. They're starting to talk about it now more on national news. And um you know, look, people got to get out and vote and decide which way they want to go before it's um you know, not doomsday, but too late. It can be a doomsday. you know, you can't let it get too far ahead of you if that's not the way you want to go cuz it's a it's hard to turn it around. They're working hard to turn it around their way. We've seen it happen in Europe. We've seen it happen in Asia when the socialists come in. It's really a front for the for the communists quite frankly. Um because most socialism deteriorates into communism. It's been very little ability to keep democratic socialism uh running. The Scandinavian countries have done all right with it, but most countries plunge quickly into communism and dictatorship. Well, well, you know, Chris, it's unique. I have a lot of friends, as you know, internationally that have escaped socialism and um especially communism, you know, but it's not just the person that um is an average person that live in those societies, though it always is them. I mean, like Sergey Kruef, you know, communism collapsed, right? it collapsed in the Soviet Union, you know, and so they had to leave. They they were broke. They were bankrupt. They had nothing. They had all those mathematicians and nuclear scientists and rocket scientists and they had no work, no money, nothing to do. And so consequently, um, uh, Sergey came to the United States and settled in Rhode Island. But, uh, you think about that, you know, and so history repeats itself if we don't learn from it. And uh we're certainly going down a slippery slope. But it's not just the working people or the underprivileged that get devastated by the um [snorts] system because the system eventually collapses. Like they say once socialism, once they run out other people's money, we're all done. And that always happens. It does. Yes. Um one thing I like is that a lot of these traditional Democrats are coming out with statements saying, "I support capitalism, not socialism. I support I'm against anti-semitism. A lot of the backbones of this current communist socialist movement. So, but the thing is they've allowed a lot of these people into their party, gave them offices, elected them to leadership roles within the confines of the Democrat party. And so, no surprise, they want to rule with the power they've been given. Yeah. And the population is such that it supports that. In other words, these are targeted areas where these politicians go. They know they have a support and enough votes to do that. So that's easy picking in the sense that that's where you want to start out. But that doesn't mean we should take it for granted and think it's just isolated pockets and that's going to be the end of it. You know, I think we should be uh working really hard for the American way and capitalism and that's what we believe in and we should push really hard for that and not accept that and and go out there and and prove what the virtues of capitalism and hard work and and what we've been taught by our forefathers, why this country is what it is today. You know, 5089960. Of course, we have the the always fun Lenny Mill Jr. here in the studio. We'll be joined by Tom Hodgson later in the morning. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Morning, comrades. How are you today? Good morning, sir. What's happening? [laughter] I'm just getting you. I'm just practicing. So, uh you know, in case something changes, but uh you know, I I think there's a little bit bit of uh fear and loathing about this whole thing, especially in New York City. But, you know, you you got to remember that um they got voted in by less than 11% of the vote. And number two is New York City and the areas that they got elected are the the deepest deepest blue. You can't it's almost black. So it's so blue that uh you know that they they got voted in by you know a very likeminded group that was a small group. So I don't necessarily think that like Kansas is going to become communist or deep socialist. But uh this is a good this is actually kind of a good thing in my mind. I hate to say it this way because it, you know, I think that it's time to test the the the government and time to test our systems. And sometimes you you have to do that to kind of, you know, say, "Hey, wait a second." You know, Newport Naval Station just down the road from you guys where my father worked for 31 years. They just they fought the Cold War for for the whole time of the Cold War to [clears throat] prevent communism. And it, you know, and uh you know, all of those symbols are around us, you know, and it's like, wait, wait, what are we doing? you know, sometimes you got to get off your phone and look up and go, "Time time time to get out and vote, folks." So, no, I I agree with you. No, and thanks for the call as always. By the way, we're coming up on the anniversary of the revolution that created a free country, the first country ever really, a republic that was really free. Um, every everything before that had been monarchies and dictatorships and tribal socialism really. Um, but America built on an idea built on an idea that in we all have individual liberty. And yes, I know there was a lot of people that weren't given those benefits or didn't have those benefits under the original system. And we're correcting all the time. We are um refining ourselves all the time. And that that's important for the individual and for the country, right, Lenny? Yeah, it it is. And the caller makes a good point, you know, and and I had just mentioned that these pockets, they zero in on these pockets. Uh uh however, it's like he also said, it's our responsibility to get out and vote. I'd like to add that it's it's our responsibility also to educate you to educate the youth because you know my always have a saying you and I joke I know you laugh a lot when I say it is a fish does not know he is in water right so um sometimes when you're young and inexperienced some things sound really good and it takes experience and years and sometimes actually some suffering to realize and that's what your caller was alluding to you know they'll see these experiments in in New talk in those certain pockets and they'll suffer under those um consequences of it. Um but you don't want it to go too fast too far because again like I said it's hard to turn it back around too. You know, you don't want to get it too far ahead. So I think we educate the people and we keep doing what we're doing like you and I are talking about it today and national news talks about it and people get to see the difference and the contrast and the country will decide you know you know literally you know from from community to community to to state to state and and the country as a whole which way they want to go. I mean it looks like they're winning and because they get those areas and everything but I I don't believe they'll win in the final analysis. I think we'll prevail because our system is the greatest since American history. It's not perfect and it not not American history I should say but it's not perfect but it brings a it brings a tremendous benefits to the most amount of people and look I know people of average and and people that were subservient to communists and then not for communism and I know the premers of of those countries I've known them sat with them and and they've suffered and it's failed. So, it's it's just not a good um political system for people to live under at all whatsoever. That's the nicest way I can say it. Capitalism with representative republic is the best form of government. It just is. 508996500. Let's go back to the phones. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Chris Lenny, good morning. Hey, what's up? Good morning. How are you? Uh good. Thank you. Listen, um, you know, math is an amazing thing. Math can actually solve problems. And what happened in New York is a math thing. And I'll tell you why. It doesn't surprise me, guys. You know that 36 to 38% of New York City is foreign born. Out of that 4 million people, almost half of New York City's population, English is the sec second language at home. Now you say, Paul, what are you getting to? The majority of those people in New York City come from third world countries. Third world countries embrace socialism. They're basically bringing what they brought from their country, they're bringing to America. That's what's happening. This is what the this is this is the ramifications of the invasion in the last maybe four, six years now through our borders has caused. Now we have to take control of immigration. Now, people are upset with Trump about the Save Act, how he put that housing bill, that he won't do anything until the Save Act gets through. I tend to agree with him, and I'll tell you why, gentlemen. I tend to agree. This is why. Because what's going to happen is this. They're going to overrun the ballot box. Because if we don't have a check and balance systems, we know very well in California, people are voting with gym memberships, okay? There's no background checks. And when they go, oh, they say the Heritage Foundation only found maybe like a hundred people who didn't who vote illegally. Yeah. The reason why we can't find anybody because there's no check and balances. There's no way for us to check to see if you are legal to begin with. Right. So what happened in New York City is going to happen across this country if if we're not aware. And you're absolutely right because what happens is this. What happened in the 60s and 50s when my parents came here, they came from Europe. Europe embraces democracy. Okay. Now we're getting the majority of people from the Middle East who that's even worse because they don't even respect other cultures. Okay. And people from third world countries who are brought up with socialism who in their mindset that's the way. So if we don't have a v a vented system of immigration to make sure we want the type of people who have the mindset to support American values then America won't be America anymore. It's a math thing. So I agree with the president. We have to stand for we need to know who is voting and who we who who do we want to allow in. Do we want to allow an unvented people from the third world country with low education, low low job skills, or do or do we want unvented immigration from the Middle East? People who don't respect other religions, who don't respect women's rights, who don't respect people who have the same sexuality, do we want unvented of those people coming in? Because that because that experiment is being done in England and in France. And it's amazing how our local media doesn't really focus what's happening in Europe with the mass immigration of the Middle East and what's happening with people being attacked. Uh homosexuals, the gang rapes, the Jewish people who can't wear their uh Hanukkah is is like on their head because they're being attacked. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's it's a yarmaka. But these are things that are being hap happening right now. But our American media will report it because for some for some strange reason they're committing suicide. Okay? We're committing suicide to our country like right now. This is the greatest country in the world. This is this is a country that my parents their sacrifice. I'm a first generation American. Okay. And my mom the neighborhood I used to live with my mom used to say, "Paul, I I wish that we could live there. That's like the rich area. Well, well, her son made it up there, right? Because of her sacrifice. No other place in the world can someone do that? I'm not saying that I'm rich, but because of my parents sacrifice, I have the American dream. One generation, right? Now, you're telling me people of multi-generations in America can't have the same dream? You know what's the people's biggest obstacle in this country? And I and I tell my son this every day. You know what's your biggest obstacle, son? And o and and always remember this. It's the mirror. No one's holding you back except yourself. No one. Right. You're right about that, Paul. I'm glad you're telling him that cuz it's true. Thank you for the call, Paul. Have a great a [clears throat] great weekend. True. Right. Yeah. He's absolutely true. And you think about it. You think about our own families. Just think of yours and mine. I think of my um like I'll talk of one side, my father's side when they came over from from England and Ireland and um you know, they came to the United States. They were so poor. I mean, uh, it's unbelievable. And then my dad, who today is 91, right? We celebrated you and I with him last Sunday. My father grew up in a federal housing project in Rhode Island. And and through the uh what the caller is saying and through that process of working hard and strife and struggle and the dreams that you want to work hard and try to get ahead. He rose above that. high school, went back, get a GED, worked in a bakery, third shift, worked in construction, went in business, bought land in Rehobath, and then I sit here today on a radio show, and I'm blessed and honored to be able to talk with you in the in your great audience in the South Coast. But that didn't just happen. That happened from people with real strife. Yes. And it's like people that work in my construction company when they first start if they're not used to it. Especially kids that come in for the summer, they get blisters from working, right? Shovels and hammers and you know tools and stuff and then eventually I tell them you're going to get calluses in a couple weeks you get you'll get stronger and stronger. So that metaphorically is what your caller was saying. I've lived that. You've lived that. So for me to sit here and be able to talk and enjoy um all the successes that um this WBSM affords me to do today on [clears throat] every Friday has taken three generations for me to get here, you know, and and so I don't think my forefathers and mothers ever envisioned that would happen. But they envisioned that there was a dream and there was hope. See, it's not hard work. It's not hard work and discouragement that breaks the human spirit. It's the lack of hope. Right. Hope is what breaks the human spirit. And without hope in the United States and capitalism offers hope. Yes. That if you work hard and you save your money, you can get ahead. And my dad used to say to me when we were in the perils of July and August, those dog days of heat and we were suffering and weren't making money. He used to say to me, Lenny, I might not make it, but you will. Yes. And he meant it, you know. And so I've lived that and I feel that. So your caller makes an excellent point. It's hope that breaks the human spirit. Lack of hope and it's hope that makes the human spirit. And it's being someone that people want to do business with that people want who to employ. If you can't get that that you got to be, you know, we all make mistakes, but generally you got to be an honorable person. You've got to keep your word. You've got to try your best on behalf of whoever you're working for, whoever you're working with. You know, nobody gets there. I I do agree with uh Barack Obama when he said, "You didn't build that in the sense that nobody does anything alone, right? We're not an island. You've got to be social. You've got to keep your word. Um you've got to honor agreements. All of that stuff. You got to be It does take a village. I hate to keep quoting these liberal Democrats, but but it really I get what they're trying to say, even if they don't mean what I mean by it, that you've got to be an honorable person that other people want to work with and want to do business with. Yeah, exactly. Right. 508 96. Look, I ran a little over. I see you folks on hold. I desperately want to speak with you, but I do have to take a quick It'll be a quick one though. Minute and a half. Me and Lenny will be back right after this. Stick around. South Coast Now with Chris McCarthy. Weekdays on 14:20 a.m. and 995 FM WBSM. Welcome back to the program. I'm Chris McCarthy. We're going to go right back to the phones. We got Lenny Mills Jr. here with us. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Hi. Good morning. This is my first time. Hi. Do you hear me? We can hear you. And go ahead. Okay. I have a few things to say. All right. You know, when our grandparents came over here, they were immigrants and we understand that and they did things the right way. You got all these immigration people coming over here and they're just doing anything they want. It's not fair. Now, I'm going to tell you a couple things what I do, which I shouldn't be doing this and saying this, but I'm going to say it. Probably people are not going to like what I'm going to say. I go to stores and I ask for help. And you know what they say to me? the immigrants, they say to me, "We can't speak English." And I go, "Then what are you doing here, worker? You need to go back to your country. This is not right." And then I had a guy the other day, I asked him a question. I said, "Can you help me?" He says, "Me don't speak English." I said, "You're speaking English right now." I said, "You can't speak English. Get back to your own country." And then you know what they do is [snorts] I had to get something for one of my friends and I had to go to the men's department. And then what happened was I said to the woman, "Can you help me get something?" And she gave me this thing to type on it. I says, "This is boom. I'm not typing on this. Go back to your country. You're not supposed to be here." And and I and I'm getting sick of it. Then I heard something else. Now, don't hold me to this. I don't know how true this is. And I was listening to a radio station the other day and they were saying, say an example in Rhode Island, you get arrested, an immigration, an immigration person gets arrested, right? And they're supposed to serve one year, 365 days. Okay? Okay. Now, what happens is this is going to be a law that's going to be passed. If by some chance you're an immigration, you're supposed they will let you serve 364 days so you don't go back to your country. This is bull. Oh, so what you're saying, caller, is in Rhode Island, they're going to purposefully keep the sentences below a year so as not to trigger federal deportation of of illegal aliens. Right. I don't think that's right. Of course it's not. I mean, I'm just getting tired of it. And I know I'll be going to confession this week because I we're all God's children. No matter where we live, we're all God's children. But still, I'm getting sick of this. They Where are they getting these green cards from? Where are they paying people for these green cards? Well, I think there's a lot of green card fraud. We know that there was an international ring broken up. Part of it was in New Bedford. Part of it was in Chelsea outside of Boston. They were making very sophisticated fake green cards. We also know that in the city of New Bedford years ago now under George W. Bush, a raid took place where they they had a federal contract. They were hiring illegal aliens. They would send them across the street to get phony documents so they could fill out the I-9 reports. So, you're 100% right, caller. A lot of this are all forgeries put together by organized crime. And another thing too is people, if you are listening to me, I don't care if you're Republican, independent, or a Democrat, we need, and I'm going to quote myself, we need to get this governor out of office and vote Republican. She's no damn good. And thank you guys, and have a nice day. Thank you for the for the contribution to the program. Well, she wasn't bashful, was she? Not at all. I love it. I think I know her. You do. She's a Rehob person. Yeah. They're hard to govern in Rah. Well, listen. You got to [laughter] You got a good taste of it. Welcome to my world. [laughter] 50899605. We're having fun here. It's open phones. Whatever's on your mind. By the way, they'll come right to your house and talk like [laughter] that, you know. And she has done that. Yeah. Yeah. God bless them all. I love plenty. A lot of stuff going on in Rahobit for the for the for the 250th anniversary of the revolution. Yeah. Uh we have a lot going on. And I mean in Seock the Gris Mill, I know they're advertising on your channel. We have a a lieutenant colonel, a fully disabled um war veteran from Rehobith who served on many boards in Rehobith. He still helps the veteran. He's going to be speaking uh tomorrow night 7:30. It's a big celebration at the Gris Mill. Yeah. Colonel there, Gary Zimmer. Y Colonel Gary Zimmer. I met him on Sunday. He was in the 82nd Airborne. Number of airborne units. Real American hero. Yeah. So he'll be speaking at the Gris Mill. Actually, I'm going to be driving them. I'm going to be his escorts. I get to drive the you know the lieutenant colonel there. So, looking forward to that. What about um do you guys do fireworks? Uh no, not we don't do it ourselves. There's some private citizens that do it, but we get to see them uh we get to see them through Secon Speedway. They do quite a show and so there's a lot of places in Rio where you can park, you know, close to the line and see them real close, but you can see for the most part in Rehob, unless you're way in the north end, you can see those fireworks. 508996500. That's how you can get on the air. Let me go. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Uh good morning guys. Hey, what's happening? Good morning. uh you know uh some of the people in this country, some of the politicians, they want they want to go down that road of socialist communism, but um they had to take a page of history and um what happened to the uh to the lot of those eastern eastern countries in Europe that were under the communist rule. None of them after after the Soviet Union fell, none of them stayed with communism. If it was so good, right, they would have stayed, but none of them wanted to be under the communist rule. You were over there. You saw Germany. Yeah. We uh during the Cold War, you know, a lot of guys before me and after me, we we put in our time protecting Western Europe. And uh no, Western Europe didn't want to go under communism. Uh it's it's a bad it's a bad program to be under communist, but the young people I don't think is they know they don't know enough about it. No, they were spoonfed it by a lot of intellectuals who were Marxists. At one point in this country, the most popular US history book assigned and purchased with our tax dollars was written by Howard Zinn, a card carrying member of the Communist Party. Once he died, his FBI file became public. It's open. You can Google it and read it about all the times he was put on the abduction list by the FBI. If we got to war with the Soviets, Howard Zinn was supposed to be grabbed up. today. His book is in every public school and university. He's a communist. That's what people in America have learned their history from. Well, I uh I had an aunt that was uh Eastern Europe. She was born in Poland. And under the communist rule, she says the first thing they do is they come in and they go after the turn in your guns. That's the first thing they want people to do. Turn in your guns. Then that way they can control you. We've seen it everywhere. And people, if if you don't personally own a gun, that's fine. That's your choice. But you should recognize that your neighbor having a private firearm makes you safer both from the government uh and from criminals quite frankly. Yeah. And the caller makes a good point with these the communist countries continue to to fall and fall and well that people want to site like maybe um China now and Vietnam, but if you're paying attention, those those are communist countries with communist governments, but trade in the free market. So they're adjusting and there and and that's what's helping them survive and get a um a lasting effect of what they've done. However, you take like the Soviet Union when communism uh just completely completely collapsed. It happened too quick. So those countries, the leaders are aware that they need to do a slow process. But it takes the capitalist capitalist economy to allow them to do it. If not, they'd collapse just like the Soviet Union. Absolutely. The call is 100% right. Caller, what what does it make you feel? You were guarding the borders of Germany in the 19 late 50s60s. Um, and today we have politicians in America that literally want to open the borders. Just let anybody come in. Yeah. Well, I I just I just can't believe it. What's happening in this country especially. I mean, we're just taking a a bout turn what we what we believe in before. You know, it's it's it's hard to accept. It's very hard to accept, but keep up the fight, my friend. 508996 0500 I can get on the air. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Hi Chris. Hi honey. Hi. How are you? Good. How are you? Good. Thank you. So I just wanted to call you with this funny story. I was just up in Westport making a delivery and a really ritzy neighborhood. You know, over a million dollar houses everywhere on the street. The beginning of the street there's a sign that says ice out of our neighborhood. Mhm. What would ICEC be doing in your neighborhood? There's no illegal aliens [laughter] living in there, right? But what they should say is ice out of our neighborhoods while we're having our landscaping and house cleaning done. [laughter] Other other than that, you're not going to find any illegal aliens living in that neighborhood. Yeah. Touche to that. Good observation. People will just put that up because they think that makes them look, you know, good. How stupid are you? Uh, how stupid would you have to be to put up a no no ice in our neighborhood when you live in a neighborhood that no illegal alien could ever live in? Right. [laughter] It's what do they call it? Virtue signaling, I think is the term. Yeah, that's right. Oh god, these people are crazy. Have a good weekend. Thanks for the call. 508996500. That's how you can get on the air with Lenny Mo Jr. and myself. Tom Hodgen will be here in the next hour. We'll have a great time with the three of us. Back to the phones. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Uh yes. Uh good morning. How you I'm doing great. Morning also. Um I I was watching the news this morning and I saw that this Iranian singer, this woman uh had done a concert. She had a beautiful voice, beautiful young woman. did a concert and but she wasn't wearing a hijab. So when she got back to Iran or whatever once they found out about it, they sentenced her to 74 lashes for not wearing a hijab. So for all these people that are questioning why are we over there in Iran, I I think we ought to go in and just blow that leadership right off the face of the earth. get a whole new regime change in there and get rid of these vicious thugs that uh you know beat up women all the time. They they they they're just terrible people. They really are terrible. Yeah. Uh hello caller. Um Lenny here. Um listen, I actually have sat with people that um uh told me some horrific stories under these communist rules that they've witnessed themselves with their own families and friends and community members. And I've also sat with a couple of world leaders and um I've heard some horrific stories that I that I wish I never put in my mind, you know. So people, you know, like I'm glad you're calling in and saying that and you and you described it accurate enough so people can get the shock value of it. Um people don't really realize what goes on. and you hear the word communism or you hear these different things that words that really don't mean a lot. But if you do a deep dive into what's going on to these people in these countries, it it is one horrific uh atrocity to the human race. Oh yeah. And uh I I was in when you see this woman, a beautiful woman, what a and what a beautiful voice. And uh I I was just shocked to see that they, you know, 74 ashes. I don't know what they hit her with, but she's got to be scarred for life. Yeah, that's a vicious beating. Thank you for the call, my friend. Thanks for the the disturbing um image, right? No, it's got to be a horrible, horrible, horrible beatings these people have subjected to. What do you think, Chris? Do you think people need to hear these stories, people to realize what's going on? cuz it's not just a word communism or you know it's not fascist. Yeah. They're not just words. There's there's a lot of there's a lot of travel to these uh these political systems that are not are not nice at all. That's and that's as gently as I can put it. So few people in the world live the way we do with representative democracy with law and order and um capitalism with an abundance. I mean, it's an it's amazing how much abundance we now have. So much so uh that many of you have valuable metal property, old junk cars sitting in your yard, just rusting when you could turn them into cash. Clean up your yard and have a bunch of cash.

Back to [music] Chris McCarthy and South Coast now on WBSM. Call 508996500. Welcome back to the program. I'm Chris McCarthy. Of course, we're joined, as we usually are here on Fridays, by Lenny Millers Jr. We'll have Tom Hodgson coming up in a little while. Good, good morning. Thanks for holding. Yes. Good morning. Good morning, my friend. How are you? Uh uh I'm getting there. This is Mr. Freetown. Mr. Freetown, my old neighbor. How are you? Yes. Oh, well, I I got to tell you this. I I just got through uh spending 17 hours at St. Luke's, the emergency room. Oh, jeepus. Yeah. And I want to tell you that they're to be congratulated. I agree. The way they uh the way that it's in operation, it's unbelievable. I saw the second shift. I was there all night for the third shift and then I was there till noon. I was spent 17 I was there for the first shift. And uh boy, they really function. They they were they're hardworking nurses. Yes. you know, male nurse, female nurses, and all the people that make that success because, you know, uh, Chris, I worked in medical, so I know a lot of the stuff and boy, they were really efficient and I don't know whether maybe people complain, but I was there, like I say, 17 hours and I saw what went on and I was very appreciative of of those people. And before I left, I told them uh how I felt about their department because I like I say, I saw the three shifts. Yes. Oh, and the the other thing I want to tell you is this before we hang up. You you know, my grandparents came from Portugal and in the early 1930s, okay? And when they came here, my grandmother showed me when before they came here, they had to have a immunization. My grandmother showed me on her arm. She had a big, you know, was almost an inch big, you know, of the immunization. Yep. They had to have a sponsorship and they had to have a job. Yes. And and and and how they got here was my grandmother's brother, uh, he owned a three- decker house in Fall River and he also owned a business and he was the one that represented them when they came to America. Well, why the hell don't they go they go back to some of these things they did years ago? Why why don't they? Well, to tell you the truth, in my opinion, the Democrat party has been taken over in the thinking on immigration by a lot of the Libertarians who had lost traction within the Republican party. And truthfully, really what it's about is keeping working people's wages down by importing more and more labor so more and more people compete for jobs which depresses the amount of money labor can demand. And you know, uh, Chris, while we're talk, before I get done, I want to tell you, you know, when those people were here, uh, some of them were saying, "Oh, we get a $100 a week spending money. We bought gold chains and, uh, we had people buy lottery tickets for us and all this stuff." What the hell you call all this here? That's crazy. This kind of stuff is, I'm telling you, it's awful. And then then they take our regular people that are here in America that work and they deny them, but yet they are able to give all these foreigners that come in here illegally everything they want. See that? That's what what that's what's wrong with America. America is good-hearted and the wrong way. And and that's all I want to say, Chris, is that Hey, listen. I'm glad you had a good experience at St. Luke's. I have had good experiences. Yes. I'm going to be on a new road now. Well, you know, I I was having problem. I was falling. Really? And I I had a couple of falls and and and now I have a walker that's going to help me. Yes. And then they're going to send somebody here for rehabilitation to make sure that I'm going to be all right because, you know, when you get to be my age, in your 80s, you know, these falls can kill you. Yes. Yeah. And and they're worried about me. And I'm going to be on some new medication coming up, too. That's going to help me out a lot. Well, you did the right thing by going to the hospital and and listen, and I know you will because you care about living and being strong. Those physical therapists, they have great plans and it may take a while, but you listen to what they do and keep your nutrition up, you'll be strong as an ox. Oh, I hope so, cuz I I'm telling you these Okay, that's it. All right. All right. Thanks. Thanks for the call. 50899600500. Lenny. Yeah. Um that's a a great hospital, right, St. Luke's. And um I had a good experience this week. I was up at um you know, up in Boston, you know, um and um the hospital up there that helped my son was tremendous. You know, they had shipped him from Attboro up there. They thought he had a a brain bleed or maybe an even aneurysm, you know, but they soon diagnosed that it wasn't that. And um they took care of everything. And so to see them work together, you know, they're so efficient. Yes. And we talk about the youth a lot. I know, you know, I know we all do. But they're all young people working up there. Absolutely. I mean, they're really working really hard. So, there's hope for America. There really is. I mean, we hear a lot of the negative things. We talk about it because we want to make a change and we want to eradicate it from our society. However, um there's a lot of good youth and they're doing a great job for us all. I see young people, they're primarily women every other day at the diialysis clinic. Thank God they studied in school and these nurses. It's very difficult and we we have really talented medical people in the community. Let's go back to the phones. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Yeah. Hi. Would you like to hear my medical background before I get into my point? Sure. Go ahead. A usual part. I'm kidding. Stupid. Um All right. So, Donald Trump, right, is um a a 35 time convicted felon. All right. He's the only president we've ever had who is a convicted felon and holds his seat. There's no other reason for him to have run other than to escape prosecution, which will come because you're seeing now that the DSA isn't just hanging on in New York. Hey, it's the stupid guy again, the socialist. Hey, stupid. Hey, stupid. Hi. [laughter] Stupid guy. Um, imagine having that much passion and um for a lost cause as social. We can all disagree, but it's how we disagree and how we treat each other at the end of the day that really matters, right, Chris? I want him to be hurtded into a soccer stadium by by someone like Pinocha. That's what you do with socialists. [laughter] That's what you do. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Hey, Chris. Hey, what's happening? Good. Hey, Lenny. How are you? I'm doing good, my friend. How are you? [clears throat] I'm hanging in there. You know, King Solomon said it best. There's nothing new under the sun. Communism is horse manurea repackaged under a shiny wrapper. It was General McCarth's is farewell speech at West Point when he said that the greatest threat to freedom loving countries is communism. Yes. And that's where we we're at. And you know, uh Alan Dishowitz, you know, longtime Democrat, you know, a Harvard professor, he's no conservative. He says uh that today's Democrats uh are nothing but radicalized college students and radical uh college professors and faculties that our universities have become propaganda mills and uh and the kids are eating it all up. And at first it was in the universities and then now it's in then it went to the high schools and now they're peding this all the way up through elementary school all the way up into the higher levels of learning. brainwashing. Yes. Oh, the younger generations that this is the best thing going and with Joseph Stalin who said that socialism is the doorway [clears throat] to communism and the guy was a you know Bernie Sanders talks about oligarchs but uh Stalin was a big oligarch. His favorite car was a packing [ __ ] from the [clears throat] US. Yeah, Stalin was Hold on one second call. You knew someone who knew Stalin bad dude. There's no one that will ever convince, not that you're saying that caller, but no one will ever convince me of any good of Stalin because I personally sat with Cruchef. Yeah. And talked for 20 years and um Stalin he killed over 9 million of his own people and it wasn't a nice death. And they had they had the triads. They prosecuted tried and killed in one day their own people. They turned each other in. And that the atrocities done in that country is is just beyond human comprehension. Yeah. Yeah. And you know you know else uh Lenny he loved to live in this big mansion all with a vast library. He liked to listen to uh opera and all. He lived he lived like a king while everybody lived in squala and the goologs. many people who went into those concentration work camps on hard bread and dirty water and they would work day and night in Siberian and fall into ditches. But nobody wants to talk about that. No. They don't realize how it can deteriorate. It it always deteriorates to that level. I mean, history has just shown us. Show me one that hasn't, you know, and and so it just hasn't really. So, the evidence is out there. But the caller makes a good point. the the kids are getting taught this from an early age and from a lot of different areas and um so it goes back to my saying Chris a fish doesn't know they're in water but eventually they get out there and we keep talking about it you callers talking about it all your callers talk about it and we need to talk about it more and more we need to direct them to the evidence there's still there's a lot of documentary stuff that they can watch they can see there's a plenty of stuff to read you know and um things like you know people talking about those atrocities are all been recorded. You can go on YouTube and see a lot of it. And um you know, people really need to educate themselves. the Gulag Achipelico written by a former soviet army officer who then was, you know, on the wrong side of Stalin and uh ended up in a concentration camp, wrote the book and ended up moving to Vermont and um as a an expat really from the Soviet Union, an escapee, a refugee from the Stalinist Soviet Union, wrote the Gulag Achapelico. But you know that the entire time Bernie Sanders who moved from New York City to Vermont, he never met with the author of the Gulog Aapelico even [clears throat] though they were in the same tiny state of Vermont because he didn't want to hear the truth about his hero. Remember Bernie Sanders now the architect of all this revolution within the Democrat party honeymooned in the Soviet Union. Think how sick that is. Yeah. And you know, Stalin was famous for wiping out generationals of families, you know, that went against them and not a few, you know, you know, nine million of his own people. It's recorded at least. He wiped out three generations, grandfather, father, and sons. And um it was ruthless. It was ruthless behavior. And um so, you know, we have to keep fighting against evil. Evil will never go away. And by the way, I believe this that evil's in all of us. and I'll get in the front of the line. It's in me, too. And we have to we have to hold it back. We have to fight against it, not only worldwide and and in our own communities, but we have to fight it in our own in our own soul, you know, because it's in us all. It's it's part of the human condition. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Left unchecked, you know, just go and study Stalin. We're going to take a break. We'll be right back. More with Lenny Mills Jr. Tom Hodge coming up next. Stick around.
