Friday, Feb 13 – Hour 3

Good morning, good morning. We've added another face to the crowd, another good friend of mine here in the studio. So the lineup is Lenny Mills Jr., selectman from Rehoboth with us, Scott Lang, the former mayor of New Bedford, and the former mayor, former city councilor and sheriff of Bristol County, the Honorable Tom Hodgson. Good morning, Tom, say hello to the crowd. Good morning, everybody, and good morning to you guys. I'm proud to be in such great company. We're having a good time, this one. Good morning. Tom, we were talking about the kidnapping out there, alleged kidnapping. We believe it's a kidnapping. I don't think she wandered off now. The woman in Arizona, Mrs. Guthrie, you're a police officer, longtime sheriff. You did a lot of cases as a detective in your previous department. What are your thoughts on this? Well, we all have different ideas about it, but from my own experience, it seems like it's definitely somebody that knows the area, of course, and may very well have done something, either work at the house or has some previous contact in that particular area for some reason, maybe even that home. I know there was some suggestion that maybe it might be the drummer that played in the band with the son-in-law of the victim, but I don't believe that's the case. I do think it's obviously somebody that's been in the area. They're looking at that right now, and they're doing exactly what they should be doing with regards to the investigative process, I believe. Any chance, because you've been on the border, that Mrs. Guthrie, Ms. Guthrie has been taken over to Mexico? I think it's a possibility, but my concern is, because of the time and her physical condition, we're all praying that it's not the case, but it's possible that she may be deceased, and then it's a matter of trying to find out where would they locate the body. That would be tragic and sad, but it wouldn't be a total surprise given the amount of time we're dealing with. We have Tom Hodgson here. He's with Scott Lang, the former mayor of New Bedford. Lenny Millers Jr., a selectman from Rehoboth. We're just having a roundtable here about a lot of things going on. Earlier in the program, we were talking about how signing Chris Markey's nomination papers for district attorney. Your thoughts on his campaign for district attorney? Well, obviously, for the record, he's my cousin. His father was my first cousin, so I've known Chris for a lot of years, and he's a very talented person. He's worked at DA's office before, and so obviously, I'm out of the same party, but I am of the same family, and loyalty, of course, is an important thing when it comes to families. So I think he's definitely a good candidate for the position. So Lenny, the deaths in your town from the shoveling of snow, what can we learn from that? Cuz you were talking about it earlier, Scott, and you were sharing our fear. What should people do? Cuz I can't imagine we're not gonna get any more snow. Yeah, maybe at the halfway mark now. I know from the concrete business, we don't see weather start to break till around St. Patrick's Day. In other words, after that, in a week, we get one or two really good days to work. But each year is different, and it's unique. I guess the biggest lesson we should learn is that you should ask for help, you know what I'm saying? It's hard for people to ask for help, especially people that- This crowd, anyway. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Scott told me all the shoveling he did, he was making me tired, I couldn't take a nap. And I believe him, cuz if anyone knows Scott, look at him, he's in tremendous shape. And I know the sheriffs and exercise guys, they're in good shape. Me, I haven't exercised in a long time, but I was in good shape 100 pounds ago. But really, you hate to see the public struggle with that. You're in a community where in Rehoboth, people help everybody. So we have the senior outreach and all these different programs. They can call Town Hall if there was anyone needing help, and just ask for the help, I guess the lesson is out there. Don't try to do it yourself, because once you get involved, snow shoveling is a very, very strenuous thing to do, even without the tremendous cold weather we've had. That just is like adding gasoline to the fire. So I'm just gonna say one thing, and that's that you buy a snow plow or a snow machine, and you think, I'm all set now, I can do this, right? Well, first of all, you still have to shovel no matter what, there's always things you have to shovel. But secondly, and more importantly, that snow machine takes as much exercise, as much energy rather, from your body as shoveling. Because it's a very, very, most of them, large heavy machine, you've gotta tote it back and forth. If it's self propelled, if it's not self propelled, you're pushing a plow basically. You're pushing a bobsled if it's not self propelled. And then the other thing about it is that, yeah, that's an Olympic, if it was a duck, it would come down, right? The fact of the matter is, though, that there's no way around this. You should get help. If you're gonna tackle it, pace yourself, dress really warm, because if it's cold out, every vessel in your body contracts. Now you're pushing, your heart's going faster and faster. You could throw a platelet or whatever the heck it is that's inside your arteries that you never think about. Next thing you know, you got a problem. So why would you go out there for the sake of moving snow? Actually, I think I'm speaking to myself. Is it all right if I lay down and you can charge me? All right, let me lay down and get comfortable. I've got a couch right there, although I don't know if I'd want to lay on it. Well, you can charge me for this, but why would you do that for the sake of shoveling something that... It's make work. Snow, leaves are make work, all right? So you have to have the right attitude, approach it correctly. Lenny was saying that some of the people look at it as, well, exercise. But exercise, you warm up. You don't just jump right in and go like hell. So you got to be really careful. It's the same advice I give people in the summer. Wear a hat. And for God's sake, sunscreen. Right, and sunscreen. So what you've got to do here is pace yourself and then look at it. There's a difference between two inches of snow and a foot of snow. Where are the kids, though? That's what I ask. Where are the young men and young girls who used to go out with the shovels? You're right. We used to have a program, the Snow Angel Program in New Bedford when I was in office, where we had a list of 50, 100 kids, and they would come and we would give them a stipend and they'd go out and shovel seniors' homes. That's a great program. And there were always kids who wanted to get on the list. Now it's crickets. You're standing at your house saying, I just want someone to knock on the door. I'm speaking for everyone now. Knock on the door. Say for 10 bucks, I'll shovel your walkway. For 20, I'll shovel your driveway. And it's great exercise for them. It's not a risk for them in most cases. And it's pin money. And it's a great thing. When I was a kid, when all of us were kids, first day it was going to snow, you'd say, A, I don't have to go to school. And B, I'm going to make some money. That is a cottage industry that needs to come back. How do we do that, though? Lenny, you're a businessman. How do we bring that back? Yeah. I think we start as parents teaching our children what we know that our parents know. This is called opportunity. It's opportunity. They don't look at it that way. And it's probably not their fault. It's the way we've raised them. We think by raising children, by making things easy, we make it easier for them. But we all know in those cases, it's usually not the case. So yeah, let's teach people, like Scott's saying, they can help. They can feel good about helping people even though they're getting a stipend and a certain amount of money. And it's entrepreneurship too. Get out there, make some money. You feel good when you make your own money. Always, always. 508-996-0404. We're having fun here. We have Scott Lang, Tom Hodgson, Lenny Mills Jr. here. We're going to go to the phones. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Yes. Good morning. Hello. Hello. Yes. You're on the air, sir. Okay. Yeah. To each and every, all of you, I salute you all for your public service. I appreciate it very much. Talking about the electricity demand and everything like that, we'd almost be remiss not to talk about the data centers, these AI data centers that are going to be coming up anytime. There's one being, I told you, Chris, a few weeks ago, one out in Westfield, Mass. And they're enormous in the energy infrastructure that's required and the expected demand on water and cooling system. And it's just off the charts if you just Google the DI centers and what they look like. I mean, there's one being built out in Michigan. It's going to cost like $8 billion covering 250 acres. The one out in Western Massachusetts is like 11 buildings. And it's going to, the demand is crazy. People are just pulling their hair out, but it's going to be looked at as part of our oversight for reducing energy costs in our country. I don't know if we really need as much of this stuff that we're planning on. So I just wanted to drop that in your lap. I love it. I love it, Peter. I appreciate that. I noticed, I don't know off the top of my head, but I know they were talking about it on Channel 5 last night or this morning. I think there's 10 of them, maybe 40 of them planned for Massachusetts. And I know in New York or Pennsylvania, I guess, they're redoing Three Mile Island to feed the data center with electricity. So let me say a couple of quick things from a kid who started with a Remco walkie talkie wristwatch type of a thing, right? If you like voicemail, if you like being put on hold and listen to music for 45 minutes, you're going to love data centers. I'm not quite sure what the data centers are going to do or power at this point. I know we deal with AI every day and it's absolutely maddening. I say, I will not pay a lot for that muffler. It says I will pay a lot for that muffler when it's done. You have to check everything. It doesn't save any time. I love Google. I love looking things up, things like that. Okay. But this idea now that we are going to begin replacing every job in America, the idea that we're going to have, we're going to suck up all the electricity, all the water, that we're going to be in a situation where basically we are subservient to machines, seems to be something that we want to think about. I have not been able to spend the time and the effort to think about it because I'm correcting AI all day long, right? But the fact of the matter is that it's, I understand at a certain point, you want to be off to the next great thing, but I'm not quite sure what the next great thing is. And I would wish that Congress would sit down and start looking at this and state legislatures and say, exactly what are we building? What are we building for? I'm going to get out. I got to take a break guys. And then we'll be back more with Tom Hodgson, Lenny Miller Jr., former mayor of New Bedford, Scott Lang. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the program. I'm having a blast here. We have Scott Lang, the former mayor of New Bedford, the former sheriff of Bristol County, Tom Hodgson, current selectman from Rehoboth, Lenny Miller Jr., having a great off air conversation. Guys, we've got some other people that want to get in on this, so let's let them. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Good morning. Maybe it's my phone, but I can hardly hear Scott Lang. We turned down the Democrats, Mike. I'm here. I'm here. All right. All right. Speaking of the Democrats, I'm glad to see the Republicans making a comeback here in the state. Maybe we're going to have a choice instead of just one party. For your Democratic guest, I don't know if Lenny is a Democrat, but I know Scott Lang is. Why are you people, you guys, sticking to the Democratic Party? Because Democrats in this state are responsible for a lot of our problems. You ever think of switching parties and becoming a Republican? I think you make good Republicans. So I was thinking the other day, and it's an interesting question, right? But first of all, I don't define myself by any particular wing or extreme view within the Democratic Party. I try and make decisions on my own, and I try and make sure that I represent those decisions. I don't let anyone speak for me, and I don't watch TV and say that is my point of view, and therefore I am now a Democrat. I started working at the DNC 50 years ago. Actually, I'm sorry. I apologize. I apologize. Not 50 years ago. It's 2026. So I started working at the DNC per se 53 years ago. I started working with Hubert Humphrey 50, I guess it's 54 years ago, right around now, maybe a couple of months before. So it's probably 54 years and four months. If you said to me, well, what does that mean? I'd say I'm a Humphrey Democrat, and then I've been a Kennedy Democrat, and I've represented, I'm probably a Bob Strauss Democrat more than anything. And then I'm a Paul Kirk Democrat, and I worked with Jerry Brown on a number of issues that now look like he was a soothsayer. He was Nostradamus. If an issue that I think is important for the country attracts my attention, I do the research on it, and I take a position. I go from there. I'm a Seth Moulton Democrat as far as the Senate race goes. I guess I'm a Chris Markey Democrat. So people represent different points of view. I may be attracted to them, but I am not defined as a Democrat per se, a left Democrat. I don't even use the word left or right. You're not a Mondami Democrat. No, I'm not a Mondami Democrat at all. In fact, but I'm also not a Chris Cuomo Democrat, and I think the Democratic Party has let the people down dramatically. Many of the issues that Trump talks about are issues that started out as Democratic Party issues 25, 30 years ago, and the Democratic Party basically lost its way. And now I think in some cases, the Republican Party has lost its way when it identifies with just one person. Here's the way I look at it, and unfortunately I'm going to have to get back to the office in a moment, but here's the way I look at it. We have rule of law. We have a system. Everyone should work within the system together to improve the lifestyle and basically the basic quality of life for all Republicans, all Democrats, all independents. I don't care what your persuasion is. If you're here in the United States of America, if you're a citizen and have the ability to vote, then I am for, on a day-to-day basis, anyone who's elected representing all those people. Plus, you have people who live here who, whatever reason, they're either not citizens because they're through the system that we have for immigration, or they're not citizens because they're here illegally. We have issues that everyone has to be represented, and you have to figure out how, as a country of 330 million people, or 335 million people, you resolve the issues in the best way for the good of the order. And that's what I believe in. So do I think Republicans are right on the mark on some issues? Absolutely. Do I think Democrats are? Absolutely. Do I think they should combine them? Yes. But I'm a Democrat. I was born a Democrat, and I can say that. My parents were Democrats. My grandparents, by and large, were Democrats. They had nothing. At the time that they affiliated with the party, I'm sure I never sat down and asked them, although my mom said to me, well, the Democrats tend to side with day-to-day people on issues. The Republicans tend to side with day-to-day people on issues, but not as often as Democrats. That's how she defined it. My dad worked for, in the Army, served under Reagan, told me he was one of the greatest guys that he ever got to know, and didn't get to know him like a personal friend. But he said he'd walk into a room, everybody would stand up, say attention, and he'd go, knock it off, guys. And then he'd say, I'm having a card game tonight. Who's coming? It's everybody. And then if he was going to Hollywood, worked at the Army Air Corps, he would say, I've got room for two guys in the car and five guys on the running boards. Let's go. Whoever's available, I'm leaving in five minutes. Come on, guys. And then I'll pick you up and take you up that night. So it's people. What I'm trying to say is it's people. People have different views. You got to keep talking. You got to find common ground. You have to do it for the good of the order. And it's to protect people, to make sure people are safe. The primary purpose of government is public safety. The primary source of government is making sure that our infrastructure is appropriate so we can attract businesses and also serve the people. It's education. It's all the things that you need on a day-to-day basis when you get up in the morning and say, I need to go about my life. I paid some taxes because I know that the government's going to provide for me. We have Scott Langer, former mayor of New Bedford here. Scott, before you get out of here, you think it's time to retire Ed Markey from the Senate? Absolutely. First of all, I don't think Markey represents the constituency that he is supposed to represent within the state. I think he represents a small sliver, number one. Number two, and a proponent, look, I'll have to say about Markey, proponent of the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal, if anyone's ever read it, you look at it and your eyes roll behind the top of your head. The fact of the matter is that it's not Markey's age. It's Markey's beliefs. It's Markey's approach to serving the people. It's Markey's approach on a day-to-day basis to what a U.S. senator should do. I want a U.S. senator to discuss the issues that affect the country throughout the world, but I want a U.S. senator to serve the constituents, be home, and deliver the bacon. We send a certain amount of our money to Washington for certain things. Some of it can be delegated back. I want the money delegated back for the purposes that we need in Massachusetts. I don't find that he's able to do that. Now, this sounds like Lloyd Benson, but I got to know Ted Kennedy. I got to know John Kerry. I got to know Paul Kirk. To some degree, I know Warren. I certainly know Markey for a very long time. Markey does not produce the way Kennedy and Kerry produce for the state, and that's the key. Being a senator is more than showing up in Washington, putting on a tuxedo, and going to galas. It's a matter of getting back and forth to the state on a regular basis, hearing what the back, and I don't find that Markey does that. Scott, we appreciate you stopping. I know you're going to get back to the farm, back to the law firm, but we really appreciate it, Scott. I was going to say, I'm going to go to the farm, plow a couple of acres, move some snow, and then come back. That's Lenny. Lenny's got it. Lenny does that. Scott, it's been an honor to be with you. Yeah, you're a gentleman. Yeah, so it's good to see you guys. All right, now stay well. All right, guys, so we'll take a break, and then we'll be back with Lenny Mills and the former Sheriff of Bristol County, Tom Hodges. Stick around. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the program. I'm Chris McCarthy.

We want to thank Scott Lang. That's always fun having him here. And of course, Lenny Mills and the former Sheriff of Bristol County, the Honorable Tom Hodges. So gentlemen, now the Democrat's gone. Thanks for calling us gentlemen, by the way. Nobody does that, right? Yeah, nobody does. Chris, may I have a word with the audience? Of course. The last caller had a question, so I'd like to answer. Yeah, go ahead. I am a Republican, a lifelong Republican. And the mayor said exactly what I would have liked to say. I'm here to represent the people of Yehovah, and it takes all of what he said to do it. I can't just go one way or the other. I need to weigh up everything. And in the final analysis, it may not be what I would like to do as a voter, but I have to do what's best for the town of Yehovah. So with that being said, there's a lot of good in both parties. And I hope that I'm as good a Republican as the mayor is a Democrat. Because he's a gentleman, and he speaks eloquently, and he's just the way I feel. We try to get both sides to get together to get a common good for the people. And I believe that's what the people of Yehovah elected me for. And you have the luxury, or sometimes people call it a curse, I never did though, of having town meeting. You gotta stand up, and the people really have the say. The people have the say. They're the visionaries, but we're the ones that enact it. We get the job done. And the sheriff could speak to this more eloquently than I can. But like in Yehovah, we have these murders and these deaths that we've had and continue to may have in the future. Tom Quinn comes over, he takes over that investigation. So we need a good relationship. The town of Yehovah needs a good relationship with that office. It's paramount for my people to be represented that way. And so I feel the way I feel, who I'm supporting, and I think that's the best for the people of Yehovah. If I have an election literally in less than eight weeks, and the people will speak if they don't think I am or they feel I am not doing a good job. You know, Chris, if I could just, as you know, I grew up in a family of 13 kids, three quarters of my brothers and sisters, I've talked about this before, are all Democrats. And I love every one of them. We have different opinions on things, and sometimes we'll have really pretty, not heated, but we'll have some good debates. But the bottom line is, I think where we are in this country right now, look, the Democrats, Democrats, people registered in Democrat Party, unfortunately, are getting swiped with the nonsense that's going on in Washington. The partisanship that they're constantly, you never hear these people in Washington coming up with solutions to the issues, the problems, right? They're all about their politics. And no matter what President Trump does, they attack it. But they don't give you an alternative solution. And then they're tied into these activist groups. They're moving very much to the left. And so well beyond what I think the average Democrat wants, because we all want the same thing for our families, our neighborhoods, this country. So what Scott was saying, I think makes all the sense in the world, which is, look, remember, we're still people, right, much like family. We're Americans, and we all want the American ideals. But when you have these groups, you're getting labeled as Democrats. And frankly, I look at, I couldn't help but think of Diane DiZiglio. She's a Democrat. But you know what? You got Mike Minogue, who's funding, who's a Republican running for governor, who's funding the law firm to file for what the people of this state asked for at 72% or 73% to have an audit. And the legislature, which is dominantly Democrat, is sadly making the average Democrat who I think believes in good values and all those things, making them get labeled with their irresponsible lack of public service. We have Tom Hodgkin and Lenny Miller Jr. here in the studio. Tom, you got elected. You never campaigned as Republicans only vote for me. You got elected with a lot of Democrats. Lenny, you've got elected with a lot of Democrats in a nonpartisan election. I've been elected with a lot of Democrats. I mean, you need everybody because politics is about people. Yeah. And isn't public service about, look, if you were truly running as someone who wanted to represent the values and the issues that matter to the average person, then you're not looking at whether they're Democrats, Independents, Republicans. I knock on everybody's door. And if people have my opponent's sign, I knock on the door and ask if they put my sign up. Because you know what? The bottom line is this. If you're going to run for the office, as Lenny just said, you represent the interests of everybody, not based on their party. Right. But based on the fact that they're trusting in you, blindly trusting you to do what it is they need for them and their families. We got some people still on hold at 508-996-0500. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Whoa, long time being on hold. Boy, a long time. See, I called up because I thought I'd have the opportunity to speak with the mayor about, he was the last person to have a balanced budget. In his fifth year, he had a balanced budget. That means our revenue matched the expenditures. But I wanted to ask him, and we have two elected officials, they know how government works. When you have a revenue source that's $250 million less than your operating budget, and you're going to get in, I think both of you know that the state and federal governments not going to give the city of New Bedford or other cities and towns the same amount of money that they've gotten in fiscal year 2026. The state and federal aid is going to be a lot less. So my question to them, and if you could keep me on so I could hear their response. So Lenny, talk about Rehoboth. You have no debt out there in Rehoboth. Yeah, thank you for your call. It's a good question, and I can take a little pride in my town of Rehoboth. We operate with zero debt, as I speak to you now. I inherited that as a selectman. I continue that tradition on, and we work really hard. The budget in Rehoboth is presented to the town. The town weighs in on it. They can go pull any item on the line and question it, modify it, whatever they want, give us marching orders. But it is the selectman's budget, and all five selectmen are conservatively looking to save the town money, but also provide the proper services and listen to the people what they want. So it does work well where we are. I will tell you, if I was in business and I was in debt 250 million, I'd have to file a bankruptcy. If I was a governor of a state, maybe I could get the senators and all the congressmen and everyone to pass a tax increase and make it go away that way. And that's not the way we do it in Rehoboth. And what Lenny just described is exactly what people expect of responsible public officials to balance the budget and watch out for their dollars. Unlike Mara Healy, who this morning was announced that she's going to try to suspend the Trump tax cuts, the federal tax cuts until 2028, I believe it is, or 2027, because she couldn't manage the government and she's got us in such a bad way financially that she's now going to punish the businesses and other people who are going to get the federal tax cuts so she can offset her irresponsible management of the state of Massachusetts financially, amongst other things. So what Lenny just described is exactly what we expect of elected officials, and they're doing a great job out there managing the people's money. Unlike Mara Healy, and just take a look where we are. Companies are leaving the state and we can't get the revenues coming in. Now she wants to suspend and hurt the companies who are here by suspending the federal tax cuts that President Trump's putting in place. It's crazy. Mike, go ahead. Okay. So, and Tom, how's those clubs working out? If you need grips, come and see me. I need a game is what I need. Okay. Okay. That's a good thing for the town of Rehoboth that your revenues match operating budget. But here in New Bedford, our revenues aren't anywhere near our operating budget of 551 million. We only have, so we're 250 million behind from our revenues to our operating budget. So Tom, you've been a city council here in New Bedford. You realize that you can't operate a city with something like this overspending that's happening here in New Bedford. So what do you do, Tom? What do you do? You have massive layoffs, large tax increases for the struggling people in the community that own properties, whether they're businesses or homeowners. What's the question? Do we go in to receive a ship and get the likes of this mayor who thinks he can spend money that we don't have and get him to have no power? Yeah. I think you've got to- If you don't receive a ship, you don't have any power, right? If you're the mayor. Yeah. I think you have to- That's the question. Yeah. I think you have to drill into what is causing the shortfalls and then take a look at how do you offset that with budget cuts? And unfortunately, that's a painful part, but you got to get back to that because otherwise, you continue to have a burden that's going to grow. I think the mayor has been very open with the public, as have local selectmen from around the area. I had a Mattapoisette selectman in yesterday, Tyler McAllister, who's running for Congress, but he's been a selectman in Mattapoisette for about a decade, talking about the lack of local aid. Andrew Saunders, Fairhaven, talking about the lack of local aid. The mayor is talking about, it's basically adjusted for inflation. The amount of local aid the state gives the city of New Bedford, I think it's 2008 numbers, basically. That's how far behind we are in local aid. So that's why people are seeing ever-increasing taxes in the towns. Yeah. I'm not really familiar with New Bedford's situation, all due respect to your caller, but let me make a real simple analogy, guys. Spending, overspending, whether it's in business and especially in government, is like gaining weight. It's easy to do. Yes. Now, just like it's easy to do, it's hard to come off, right? So the caller has a good question, what do you do? So it depends on a lot of situations, but I will tell you what we do in the moment. We're going through our budgetary process now, getting ready for a town meeting. My phone has actually been text three times. I'm in charge of the police department, the building maintenance, the building zoning department, and the highway department. I'm the liaison to those. Their budgets come through, they're being sent to me all the time, and we watch over them. There's no way I'm going to go to a town meeting and spend money, ask them to spend money without an explanation. So we live within our budget with the increases we have, contracts, unions, things like that. And then say a building needs a new roof, 300,000. We're going to put it under capital and let the people vote if they want to spend the money or not. And the people aren't stupid. They know if they put a new roof on, they have to pay. If they decide they don't want to do it, they also understand it's going to leak and cause more money and problems down the road. So we work really hard at that. All right, folks, we got Lenny Mills Jr. and Tom Hodgson here in the studio. And I want to point out to you that if you've got a cracked windshield, it's not good, it's not safe, it's not good looking, but you don't have to really worry about it. Just pick up the phone, make a call. Call Citywide Glass. They're located in Fall River and in Dartmouth, and they're online at citywideglass.net. They're going to send a mobile team out to you. You don't have to do anything. Just make a call or go online, make an appointment with Citywide Glass. They'll send their mobile tech team out to your home or your work parking lot. They'll fix your windshield. But that's not all. They'll also bill your insurance company so it doesn't cost you a penny out of your pocket. So make that phone call. They're at a Citywide Glass in Dartmouth or Fall River or go online at citywideglass.net. We'll be right back. Yeah, Lenny Mills Jr. from Rehoboth. Guys, I really appreciate you joining me. And it was a really fun program. Yeah, thank you very much for the invite. And it's always an honor to be with the sheriff. And it was extra special and an honor to be with Scott today. I've been on the other side of the V with him. It's not a pleasant experience. But like all the times I climbed in the ring with people, we go later and we shake hands, we have a beer, and that's it. So he's a great guy. That's how I first met him when I was selected. He was on the other side. Yeah, very professional. Always a great show when you're at the head of the mic there, Chris. I appreciate that. Yeah, you do a phenomenal job, and it's great to be able to be part of it. I call him a rock star. He's a rock star. Amazing developments, in part because of your wife's work with the Republican Party. Yeah, she's been working really hard on the state committee woman to make sure we have enough people for the convention. We did really well. Margaret Sweet worked hard in the Dartmouth RTC. And the Republican Party is bringing, I think in a big way, more balance to the commonwealth of Massachusetts. I'm real happy about it. I agree with you, Tom. Thanks, guys, for coming in and being with me here this morning. Guys, I want you to stick around. Brian McCabe is in for Barry. We're going to have a great weekend lineup. Kenny Pittman will be here. Always a great program. And we have Santos on sports starting at 7 a.m. So make sure you keep your dial tuned right where it is all week long. And God willing, I'll be back.
