WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:09.480 It's Night Side with Dan Ray on delig Bzy, Boston's news radio. It 2 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:15.199 has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as vice 3 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:26.640 president to our President Joe Biden. Joe's legacy of accomplishment over his entire career 4 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.159 and over the past three and a half years is unmatched in modern history. 5 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.240 In one term, think about it, in one term as president, he 6 00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:48.520 has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who served two terms in office. 7 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:58.039 And I know we are all deeply, deeply grateful for his continuing service to 8 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.920 our nation. That is Kamala Harris, your new presidential candidates for the Democratic 9 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.680 Party, Welcome back to This is Night Side. Gary tankwa for Dan Ray 10 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.239 and joining us right now from Texas, the biggest Kamala Harris fan that I 11 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:19.640 know. Let's go to Tomas Boston Heremage, welcome to the program. Tell 12 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.760 us your feelings on that comment. Well, I'm laughing. You've probably heard 13 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.560 it all the way from Texas, but no, I'm not Kamala Harris. 14 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:33.879 Yes, they know, Tommage, they know it's it's called sarcasm. They 15 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:41.280 know you're right. Uh, We're living in interesting times. And you can 16 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:49.040 say that what is dawning on me is Uh. The Democratic Party obviously thinks 17 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.840 they can get away with insulting the intelligence of the American people, Uh, 18 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.159 with almost everything they say. Uh, for them to pretend that she is 19 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:07.359 a mainstream candidate, which she's not. Her voting record in the Senate as 20 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:14.639 a liberal was worse than Bernie Sanders. And to think that she's had a 21 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:21.000 distinguished record as vice president when in fact she's done nothing except the outspoken advocate 22 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.719 on abortion issues. To pretend that she was not designated as the borders are 23 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.039 as a means of trying to cover up the fact that she did a horrible 24 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:38.000 job and trying to deal with the border, to pretend that she hasn't been 25 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.800 part of the cover up. Yeah, let's know, I hear you. 26 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.599 Let's stop. Let's break some of this down a little bit. I want 27 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.919 to start with the border. And obviously you're in Texas and it's more of 28 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.719 a concern to you than than up here, unless you know, you happen 29 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.520 to be in the Cape, and you end up with some people who have 30 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.240 been misplaced, and these poor folks don't know where they're doing or where they 31 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:04.960 need to live. But like, when has the border ever been great? 32 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.360 Well, Donald Trump was making progress on the border and the wall was working, 33 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.000 and you look at the numbers, I mean at the time he was 34 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.039 shot. You just have to look at the charts and see what the border 35 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:24.879 record was during his presidency compared to the surge of illegal aliens during Biden's presidency, 36 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.800 and it's night and day. Yeah. But also though, Tomadge, 37 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.000 aren't we talking about a time when families were being separated, parents separated from 38 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.759 children. I mean, there was some inhumane stuff going on. Well, 39 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:45.599 there's never going to be a process involving dealing with mass quantities of illegal aliens 40 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.360 all at once without having to impose some rather harsh measures in order to try 41 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:57.759 to enforce border security. The question is which is more important protecting the family 42 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:04.280 situation of illegal aliens or protecting the health and safety and welfare of legal American 43 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:10.800 citizens who are damaged by the entry of mass quantities of illegal aliens. Are 44 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:18.360 damaged. I've damaged. They're damaged in the in the workforce in terms of 45 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:25.720 the surge of illegal aliens to take jobs away from American people. They're damaged 46 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.399 in terms of these people who come over in many instances have committed crimes. 47 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.720 This is serious damage. This is a serious issue. Okay, Now, 48 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.319 now hang on a minute. They're not hanging present. There are people, 49 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.279 there are people who are also in this country that will commit crimes. I 50 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.519 think it's also unfair to stereotype any illegal alien or someone who comes in this 51 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.839 country looking for a better life that they're a criminal. And then the other 52 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:55.800 argument that I've heard, I didn't say that. No, I didn't. 53 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.680 You're putting words in my method. I'm not going to let you do that. 54 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.120 I said, these people come across illegally. Some of them commit crimes. 55 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.319 Now, if you want to twist that to something I didn't say, 56 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:14.360 go ahead and do it all right. Some when you say okay, can 57 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:15.399 you give me a number? Doubt about that. Can you give me a 58 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:21.759 number? Nobody has the numbership because they're so vast and and and the mass 59 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.319 qualities of millions, we don't have those numbers. Shit, Gary, And 60 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.560 you know that, Actually I don't. I thought that Maybe you did. 61 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:31.959 I mean, if you're gonna say some, I mean your ballparker, you 62 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.040 may have a number. Okay, Now in regard to you, will I 63 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.040 will you will to hear from people. You will hear from people. You 64 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.519 will hear from people in the restaurant industry and the service industry that that will 65 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.000 say American citizens don't want to work in this area, they don't want to 66 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:53.079 work in particular areas, they can't fill the jobs, and the jobs will 67 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.240 only be filled by illegal aliens. What do you say to that, I 68 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.120 say, it's long as we have laws that are supposed to protect the border, 69 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.160 then those laws should be enforced. If they're not going to be enforced, 70 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.759 they should not be the laws. We are a country of laws. 71 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.639 Democrats keep talking about rule of law and so forth, and do they ignore 72 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.639 the laws regarding protecting our borders and border security. So you can talk about 73 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.879 people doing other things that are obviously in clear violation of the law and think 74 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.439 you're making a good point, and I'm going to disagree with you. Okay, 75 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.199 that's fine. That's fine. So when it comes to actually we're going 76 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.680 to take a break because now we know how you, We're going to continue 77 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.759 the discussion about Harris. And also I want to find out where you stand 78 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.360 between these two candidates. Talmas. Harris is going to join us or is 79 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.519 joining us? Right now, presidential historian and as you can tell, he 80 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.759 is from Texas, but we like him anyways. I'm kidding. How much 81 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:55.519 is back right after this on WBC's Nightside. Now back to Dan ray Line 82 00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:00.759 from the Window World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio, Gary Tegwave for 83 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.040 Dant time, Tom Much Boston joining us here, presidential historian, political commentator 84 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.639 and no fan of Kamala Harris as we know, and that's one other reasons 85 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.959 why he's here. So let me ask you this, Tummack. You mentioned 86 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:20.720 her voting record when she was in Congress. If she does win the presidency 87 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:28.199 because of Congress, do you feel she will have very little power or will 88 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:34.800 not have the ability to invoke what you feel is a far left philosophy. 89 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.759 Well, she'd be president of the United States and therefore the head of the 90 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:45.879 executive branch. Yeah, we all know in recent years the power of executive 91 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.879 orders, which has gotten totally out of control under both Presidents Trump and Biden 92 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:58.120 and their predecessors. So it doesn't depend entirely on Congress. Presidents do unilateral 93 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:03.120 things all the time. Many they're challenged in court. Sometimes they're struck down 94 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.480 as being outside the power of executive orders. But don't think she's powerless and 95 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.439 that Congress has control over what she does, because we've seen that's not true. 96 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.680 Well, especially with the way the court is leading now the Supreme Court, 97 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.360 it would be more difficult for her to invoke some of that power, 98 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.000 wouldn't it. Well, the number of cases that get to the United States 99 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.879 Supreme Court involving the abuse of executive power in any given year might be two 100 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.440 or three or four. If she's signing dozens, if not hundreds, of 101 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:45.320 executive orders that are at odds with congressional law and laws in place, some 102 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:50.000 of those are going to stay in effect. We don't have enough court pipeline 103 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:56.200 to address abuses in excessive executive orders. That's been a problem for some time, 104 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.960 and it will certainly still be a problem in the coming four years. 105 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.960 Now we don't know. Well, you just mentioned her political leanings in her 106 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.879 voting record, but a legitimate concern about Vice President Harris becoming the president of 107 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:18.600 the United States is her lack of international experience right where vice president will be 108 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.360 involved with some of that, but for mostly they're a figureheader, they're upfront 109 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.399 person. Then they go to things that the president does not deem as important 110 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.799 to attend or something they can't make because their kid has a birthday or something. 111 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.480 But it is a concern about international affairs. Your thoughts on that. 112 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.200 Definitely concerned about international affairs. I mean, obviously, the president of the 113 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.080 United States is a commander in chief. We're living in an extraordinarily dangerous world. 114 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.879 There's reason to think that with people like Putin in the head of China 115 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.159 and North Korea and Iran at large and growing stronger every day, who knows 116 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.759 what is going to happen in the next four years. We better have a 117 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:03.159 strong commander in chief who understands international affairs, who understands the use of military 118 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.360 power. And Kama Harris has absolutely no experience in that area. But it's 119 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.039 not just her lack of uh knowledge and experience in foreign affairs. She wants 120 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.840 to buy her own statements publicly. She wants to abolish private insurance. She 121 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.639 wants to help here well, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. She backed that, 122 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.600 She backed down on that, She backed down on that. She it 123 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.720 was a takesy backsey. She I understand she said it, and I disagree 124 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.639 with it. I'm with you on that. I disagree with it, but 125 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.720 she kind of backpedaled on that, and that's not going to happen. You, 126 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.559 you and I, But that's not going to happen. She has no 127 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.840 chance. She has no chance with that. But that's fine. Continue. 128 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.960 I just wanted to set the record straight on that. Uh, I'll take 129 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.639 your word for it tonight, I'll double check that. I know they've been 130 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.919 showing that that clip quite a bit on you have, but yeah, I 131 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.519 know they're And she still I assume she still wants to ban fracking. She 132 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.639 still wants to eliminate gas cars. You talk about an impact on American industries. 133 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:16.240 She favors reparations for slavery that's coming up on two hundred years ago. 134 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:22.200 Uh, she's uh uh So these are some of the domestic issues. But 135 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.720 getting back I want to get back to incause some of those issues I don't 136 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.039 think are going to come up anyways. Go ahead, and by the way, 137 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.080 looking to I understand about the few I understand about the economy. I 138 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.519 get it. You're in Texas oil gas. There has to be a transition, 139 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.320 but we do have to transit. We do have to transition away from 140 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:45.039 fossil fuels at some point well, we have to do it fruently. We 141 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.000 have to do it in a way that doesn't destroy American industry. I agree 142 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.360 with that, and lose millions of jobs. I agree with that too. 143 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.480 It has to be done so that you can Why do you think, why 144 00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:01.279 do you think so many people are moving from California to Texas because politicians like 145 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.559 Kamala Harrison Gavin Newsom. Do you realize that in the year twenty fifty, 146 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.879 as it stands now, there's going to be more people in Texas than in 147 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.879 New York and California combined. Why is that? Because those people don't know 148 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.960 how to government, They don't understand the will of the people, and they're 149 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.759 driving people away. I don't know if you in Boston are aware of that, 150 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.120 but that's what's going on. Back to the international issues, Okay, 151 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.039 anybody thinks she could be commander in chief, in charge of America's place in 152 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:39.639 the world, a woman with no experience whatsoever, no demonstration of strength of 153 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.279 any kind during her four years except to be an advocate for abortion, and 154 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:50.639 they think she's ready to lead our armed forces in an increasingly dangerous world. 155 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.759 I don't see how anybody could resec conclusion, did they feel that way about 156 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.200 Trump when he was first elected or did you feel that way about Trump because 157 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.360 he was untested. The good news about Trump is in this election, we 158 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.360 knows he had four years at the HELM and for the most part in international 159 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:11.000 affairs, he did a good job. With her, she's been vice president 160 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.919 and done nothing to demonstrate she knows anything about international affairs. So the choice 161 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.639 for American voters as far as international affairs, do you want somebody who's actually 162 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.600 done it for four years with largely good results, or do you want somebody 163 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.879 who's never done it at all and think that somehow they're going to step up 164 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.480 and work miracles. Now, the problem you have is, while you're right, 165 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:39.320 those are facts, do American voters care? I hope Americans care about 166 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:45.559 national security? Backup, that's not the question. I get what you said. 167 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.679 Well, no, no, it's not my question. Hold on a 168 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.960 minute. You're right international affairs, no experience with international affairs, agreed, 169 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.240 And therefore, how can she protect national security? The voters thinking about and 170 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.360 my answer to your question one more time is yes, they care, because 171 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.639 we care about national security. And if you're going to maintain national security, 172 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.639 you have to have a president who is going to be effective as commander in 173 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.840 chief. Well, would I vote? They care a lot about that. 174 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.679 I think the voters vite. I think the voters care about who they like, 175 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.000 and I don't think an enters into their mind at all. I think 176 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.840 the American voter. Basically, it's a popularity contest. You and I can 177 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.679 agree to disagree. Oh, I think the American vote. You know, 178 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.960 American voters care about their pocketbook. They care about inflation, they care about 179 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.399 their wages going down, They care about an invasion of from the border. 180 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.120 They care about a dangerous world. They aren't carrying. For now, in 181 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.840 the first three days of the honeymoon, she's trying to establish some likability credibility. 182 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.399 But as these facts become clear and clear between now and November, they're 183 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.879 going to care about national security. They're going to care about their economic condition. 184 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.480 That's what impacts them directly, not who wins the popularity contest Tomage. 185 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.879 For the last three years, the economy under this administration has been terrific. 186 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.960 Have you forgotten that inflation was the highest in twenty twenty two that it had 187 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.440 been in forty years. Yeah, there was a spike. Have you sad 188 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.720 that I have not forgotten it. There was a spike, but over the 189 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.039 last couple of years it's been great and it came down and we all know, 190 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.519 we've talked about this before. The economy is cyclical. You can't you 191 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.399 listen. Clinton balanced the budget. Okay, so fine, I mean, 192 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:39.399 what exactly did what did exactly did Trump do that affected the economy? And 193 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.440 I'm asking you what did he do that made the economy so great when he 194 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.799 was in power. Well, for one thing, he imposed the tax cuts 195 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.320 that really benefited people at three hundred thousand dollars and the little guy didn't get 196 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:56.279 the benefit. People think that's your opinion. I disagree with it, okay, 197 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.759 because I don't. I don't. I don't think it trickled that as 198 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.120 much as people think. Well, you can think what you want. And 199 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.159 all I know is who has When you talk about trickle down people who is 200 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:14.039 supporting Trump? We're working class the people who used to support Democrats are now 201 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.879 solidly behind Trump. If they're not getting any trickle down a fan effect, 202 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:23.159 why are they all in mass supporting Trump? Because Trump feels like an outsider. 203 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.919 They feel like an outsider because as moderates they've been left behind by the 204 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:32.320 Democrats, which is an issue. That's an issue. But no, people 205 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.840 don't even know. You think people don't even know their economic condition. You 206 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:38.720 don't think people know that they were better off under a Trump economy than they 207 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:44.159 were under Biden economy. Economy, do you think that Biden has a thirty 208 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:49.519 seven percent of approval rating because people feel great about the Biden economy? How 209 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.600 can you eat facts? No, I don't. I think they had. 210 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.679 He had a thirty seven percent approval rating because people thought he was too old. 211 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.200 That's what I think. I mean, you talk about a guy in 212 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.079 Trump. You could talk about a guy in Trump who misspeaks constantly, who 213 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.559 who lies? Who does? And they all do? But who lies? 214 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.039 He talks out of is you know what? He doesn't deal with facts. 215 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.839 But people just feel that he's out for the little guy and that's why they 216 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.720 follow his lead. That's why the people don't. You say people vote with 217 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.680 that pocketbook. I disagree. I think people vote with it's a popularity context. 218 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.480 I think they like the color of their hair. I think they're like 219 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.359 like the way they talk to them. I think the way That's what I 220 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.160 think. Right, You said that four minutes ago, and I said, 221 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.079 I respectfully disagree with you. I think they vote their pocketbook. I think 222 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.680 they vote about whether this person is going to be a capable commander in chief 223 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.680 and protect the United States or not. I think that's when they when you 224 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.200 enter that voting, they're not thinking about the color of their hair, or 225 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.440 the color of the skin or anything else. They're thinking about am I going 226 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.359 to be better off with this person or that person? And they're going to 227 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:59.960 make that choice knowing that Trump's got all kinds of horrible issues and a record 228 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.160 that has lots of wars all over it. Harris has her political record. 229 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.240 They're gonna have to make that decision. But in my opinion, you're not 230 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.440 going to disagree. I think they're gonna figure out am I gonna be better 231 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.480 off economically under Trump or Harris? No, I'm not gonna be safer under 232 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:21.039 Trump or Harris. I think those are going to be the outcome determinants that 233 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:25.440 will be the first and foremost in voters' minds. All Right, I'm gonna 234 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:27.759 throw something at Talmage next. I'm gonna see if he knows what Bratt means. 235 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:34.119 That's coming up next here on wbz's night Side Night Side with Dan Ray 236 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:41.359 on w b Z, Boston's news radio. Okay, back here on WBZ, 237 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.799 Gary Tangwain for Dan Ray and knight Side Tomach Boston is joining us here. 238 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.079 Political commentator, presidential historian. Okay, Tomadge, Let's let's play a 239 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:55.039 little game here. Do you think one of the things I am disappointed in 240 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.640 h is the fact that there's not gonna be a true Democratic invention. I 241 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.720 hate I hate the TV show on both sides. I hate it. I 242 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.079 think you should take the money. I think the Republicans and Democrats, if 243 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.039 you know who the nominee is, I think you could. You should cancel 244 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.039 it. You should take the money, and you should donate it or use 245 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.759 it for better purposes. I hate it. Like the Trump thing, everybody 246 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.960 knew it was Trump, it was a TV show. We didn't need to 247 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.759 go through all that. Same thing with the Democrats. I mean, if 248 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.240 it's gonna be Harris, it's going to be Harris. Why bother with the 249 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.680 dog and pony stuff? And you know I'm in the minority of that. 250 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.480 But what happened? What do you think do you think the Democrats should have 251 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:38.319 waited, had a convention and had Shapiro or Mark Kelly or Bursher run against 252 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.319 her and try to try to get another candidate in there, well, it 253 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.559 certainly would have made the process a lot more interesting. But when Biden immediately 254 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.279 after saying he was pulling out of the race, you know, ten minutes 255 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.839 later saying and I want to endorse Kama Harris, and then all the other 256 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:03.279 leading Democrats thus far the section of Barack Obama fell into line and supported her, 257 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.240 And they got on the phones and got the chairman of all fifty state 258 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:12.000 delegations within twenty four hours to say they were behind her, and all the 259 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:18.880 delegates more than two thirds committed to her in a space of twenty four hours. 260 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.000 It was all over. Yeah, I know, I think that's I 261 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:26.240 think that sucks. Well. Yeah, and particularly you know throughout you know, 262 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:32.240 the buzzword in this campaign from the Biden and Democratic is the word democracy. 263 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.799 Trump is a threat to democracy. How they can act like they've acted 264 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:41.759 in a democratic fashion when Harris has not gotten one vote, has not gotten 265 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.880 one delegate, and yet here she's going to be her party's nominee. Yeah, 266 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.920 I just I totally disagreed with it. And I thought there was a 267 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:55.119 chance. I thought there was a chance, even though Biden came out an 268 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.319 indoorstir. I said, well, let's just wait and see what happens here, 269 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.400 because there was talk of some of these other candidates. And then the 270 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.000 money, I said, as soon as the money starts coming in, not 271 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.960 the money she inherited, because I didn't buy into all that stuff. Because 272 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.920 what everybody, all the talking hands were saying, well, it's very difficult 273 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.359 to transfer the money to Joel. Nothing's difficult. Okay, we have seen 274 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:19.960 too many firsts. We have seen too many things happen that people say couldn't 275 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.480 happen. A reality show host became president, right, it happened before with 276 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.440 an actor in Reagan. But at least Reagan had some political experience being governor 277 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.240 of California and being head of the Actors' Union. But I mean, as 278 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.519 Trump became president, I said, anything can happen. They said, oh, 279 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.599 we have to make a decision right away for Harris, because we only 280 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:44.640 have one hundred days of the convention. The news cycle is twenty seconds. 281 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.400 It doesn't matter. It's the shorter the better because there's less opportunity for her 282 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.680 to screw up. Okay, or for anybody to screw up for that matter. 283 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.799 So I think it sucks. I wish there was a convention. I 284 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.680 wish we had some debate. I wish we had some other candidates. I 285 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.640 think they hurt themselves quite frankly, I really do. You might've got some 286 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.319 moderates to come to the Democratic Party if they had gone through that process. 287 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.400 Even if she did come out on top. But as soon as the money 288 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.079 went to her, as soon as the new money, the new money went 289 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.920 to her, thee hundred million that came in from new donors. I think 290 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.000 it was on Sunday night. I was watching I Go, It's over, 291 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:26.759 She's there. So that's my feeling on that. I thought it would the 292 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:33.559 base and the Democratic Party forever in twentieth and twenty first century has been in 293 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.039 large part African Americans and other minorities, and all these people who were so 294 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:44.640 called potential challengers, they'd all got their eyes on twenty twenty eight, and 295 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.599 they knew that it would be political suicide if all the tea leaves showed that 296 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.000 Harris basically headed right. Well, I mean this, but Toma, you 297 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.759 know, it's probably a deal they made with Biden, right like Biden says, 298 00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.799 I'll step down if you if she stays, right, That's what I 299 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:07.400 think happened. We don't know, that's my gus. You know. I 300 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.839 think it's like, you know, because he finally, he finally bails because 301 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:12.839 if he stayed, he was gonna get smoked. I just think no doubt. 302 00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.200 I mean, I you know, and I'm a registered Democrat. I 303 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.680 think he was going to well, hell, cloon, he's the biggest Democrat 304 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.440 alive. I mean he knew it too, but I think he was just 305 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.559 gonna get okay. So yeah, Tomach, how do you think do you 306 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.519 think Trump makes a mistake? Does he screw up? Does he say something? 307 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.119 Does he do something? Because really, if you look at the numbers 308 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.119 now, all he has to do is shut up. I don't know. 309 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.440 The new numbers in the last two days seem to think it's going to be 310 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.000 a horse race down to the wire. And do I think He's going to 311 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.079 make mistakes between here and November? Yes? Do I think Harris is going 312 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.000 to make mistakes between here in November? Yes? And then will they all 313 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.880 set each other? I don't know. Uh, every election in the last 314 00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.480 couple of decades, it all boils down to the swing states, and so 315 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:04.599 who Harry Pictures or vice presidential running mate? Do you think a guy? 316 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.759 Do you think you have to go with your pause of Pennsylvania? I think 317 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.240 right now, if I had to bet on somebody, that's who I'd bet 318 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.599 on. Do you think the Jewish thing matters? I mean, my god, 319 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.559 I hope it does. Well. It didn't matter. It didn't matter 320 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.160 for Joe Lieberman, It's not going to matter for Shapiro. I mean, 321 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.440 you know, people are asking me, does it matter if it's a woman 322 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:26.480 or a man? Doesn't matter if it's as you are, a gentile. 323 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:32.240 I think Americans want competence. They want somebody who they think will do a 324 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:38.799 good job. And I think that's what's hopefully and I truly believe is what 325 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.720 makes people vote the way they do. They truly think they're voting for the 326 00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:47.759 person who will do the best job. And whether a person's Jewish or gentile, 327 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:52.599 black or white or brown or Asian or anything else, who is the 328 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.000 most capable person, in my opinion, to be able to handle the most 329 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.559 difficult and challenging job in the world. Right, do you know what a 330 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:07.359 brat is. I've seen brat it's some term that's being used in music, 331 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.039 and here it is here, it is here, it is here. It 332 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:18.440 is A brat is authentic, confident, a little messy. They like to 333 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.519 party, may say some stupid things at times, and they're care free. 334 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:29.799 So the brats, if you will, seem to be endorsing Kamala. Now, 335 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.160 these brats may be eighteen to twenty two or eighteen to twenty one years 336 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.079 old. They could possibly vote. So here's my question. Will the TikTok 337 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:45.279 generation? Will they have an impact on this election? I doubt it. 338 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:52.039 I don't think those people who are of that mindset are thinking much about politics. 339 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.400 I think they're thinking about being carefree and cool and wearing the right clothes 340 00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.039 and eating at the right restaurant. So, Tomage, what if it's cool 341 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:07.480 to vote for Kamala? Since I don't know anything about that particular mindset and 342 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.319 generation. You have kids? Do you have kids? Do you have kids? 343 00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.759 I have a son who's thirty six and a daughter who's thirty three. 344 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.200 Yeah, okay, so yeah you wouldn't I have teenagers. I have a 345 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:19.359 nineteen year old and a twenty twenty two year old. And I'm telling you 346 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:26.440 I think it's insane. Okay, I think it's in I think it's insane. 347 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:32.119 It could have an impact because I do think they'll think it's cool to 348 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:37.880 vote fa Kamala, and I think that people that had no intention of voting 349 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:42.519 and no intention of paying it, intention of paying attention. Will Is it 350 00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:47.119 going to be enough? I don't know. I don't know. I mean 351 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:49.720 there will be people who feel that way, but how many people there are 352 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.000 and whether it's enough to impact the election. I think what's more likely to 353 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.160 impact the election is how many votes Robert F. Kennedy gets well. I 354 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.400 agree with that, and that's a good point. We talked about that early. 355 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.359 We had a pollster on from Suffolk. He's very good, by the 356 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.400 way, Dave Pelly Logos. Check it out tomorrow. We'll have it up 357 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:11.279 on the up on iHeart Yeah nights Oh thank you, Rob Knightside on demand 358 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.400 dot com. I was gonna say iHeart but Nightside on demand dot com. 359 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:17.960 If you go to that, he was very good and and you know, 360 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.680 uh, Kennedy's that's he's a factor. He's a big The independent vote is 361 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.640 a big time factor for the Democrats, and I seem to think it's going 362 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.079 to hurt the Democratic candidate more than that will hurt Trump. Oh yeah, 363 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.000 no, no, no, it will. It will. That's why Trump 364 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.480 was buddying up to him. Yeah, there's no doubt it will. Because 365 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.519 the Democrats are trying to separate themselves from Hell. The Kennedy's are trying to 366 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.119 separate themselves from him. Tom, what You've been a great guest. You're 367 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:47.559 always be very entertaining. I appreciate your thoughts, and we'll do it again. 368 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:52.279 Do you have anything you would like to promote. No, I just 369 00:27:52.000 --> 00:28:00.680 encourage people to stay tuned and try to discern the facts amidst all the hoopla, 370 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:06.839 and try to focus on who is best suited to leave the country the 371 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:12.119 next four years, both domestically and abroad an increasingly dangerous world and and and 372 00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:18.920 and every day is important and and there's so much spind going on there everywhere 373 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.759 on both sides that it's a real challenge to reach sound conclusions. And the 374 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.279 only way you're going to do that is by paying close attention to both sides. 375 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:32.039 Uh and And on the one hand, it makes for a very interesting 376 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.839 year. I can't there's never been a year that seems like it had you 377 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:41.519 know, an assassination attempt and a president on the verge of his convention with 378 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.640 drumming. We've never had any of this, you know, back to back 379 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.160 to back. Oh, it's crazy. It's We've had a pandemic. We've 380 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.519 had a pandemic. We've had a president pull out. There's been an assassination 381 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.160 on a president. It's crazy, it's insane. We've had a total breakdown 382 00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.039 by by the Secret Service. Oh my god. So you know that's their 383 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.720 job and I blew it, and I mean the whole thing. Every day's 384 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:10.400 an adventure. But there's a lot at stake here, and so as entertaining 385 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:14.119 on the one hand as it is, people need to realize how incredibly important 386 00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:18.200 this is if we want the next four years to be the best that it 387 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.319 can be instead of the worst that it can be. Hey, I said, 388 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:26.519 you're entertaining, not the topic. This is the difference I talked to. 389 00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.680 I know I still were going to let you go, but I have 390 00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:36.720 to get this in. I talked to a consultant on Generation Z from Ernst 391 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.720 and Young and I said, and he talked about how their attitude is and 392 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.880 these are my kids. I don't feel like working today. Or I can't 393 00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.279 be in at eight because I have a yoga class at eight and I don't 394 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.200 have to be until nine. Or I'm not going to work a six day 395 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.559 or I'm not going to work a second job because people like me have spoiled 396 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.640 our children. And I just think it's insane because when I first get into 397 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:02.559 how about this, I can't there to meet with the head of Israel because 398 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:11.759 I got to speak to sorority in Indianapolis and make that decision. I mean, 399 00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.720 the same mindset that you just described is in place with Kamala Harris Well 400 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.359 Or was that for political reasons because she didn't want to meet with Israel because 401 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.160 of the protests that have been going on when it comes to whether it's Palestine 402 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.279 or Israel. I mean, there's a lot, Come on, there's a 403 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.279 lot more to that. It looked there was. The Massachusetts delegation didn't should 404 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:34.960 show up. They're here in Nan Yahoo because they don't want to get caught 405 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.240 in the crossfires. They don't want to piss off anybody who's pro Palestinian. 406 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.480 I mean, it's nuts, that's nuts. So I'm not going to totally 407 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.359 buy into that. But my point is is I said to this consultant, 408 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.720 I said, if this doesn't change, we're are thirty forty years from now. 409 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.559 Because they say workaholics are bad, well, you know what, workaholics 410 00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.119 is kind of how we got to be where we are. And if we 411 00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.400 become a country of people who are just sitting back and not doing the extra 412 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.960 said, we'll be a second great country. That's my concern, the work 413 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:10.400 ethic of America. That's my concern. That is definitely a legitimate concern. 414 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:12.519 That one I'm worried about. Because I talked to a butt of mine the 415 00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.000 other day who's retired as a dentist. He said, maybe I worked too 416 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.880 much. Maybe I go, Look, the reason you got two houses is 417 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.200 because you work too much. The reason you paid for your kids college educations 418 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.000 and they don't have any debt is because you work too much. People don't 419 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.720 get it. You know, if you want to get ahead, you have 420 00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.720 to work too much. Tomas'll talk to are in agreement. You and I 421 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.160 are in agreement on thattage. All right, we'll talk to you later. 422 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:41.079 Be good, all right. Tomas Boston joins us from Texas. Uh, 423 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.599 My buddy sam Mitler's coming up at eleven o'clock. He is I should actually 424 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.160 should put Sam and Toma John together at some point. That would be very 425 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:55.480 good because I think he just he's Sam's is a comedian. Uh. He 426 00:31:55.559 --> 00:32:00.920 is a political follower. He is a writer, a producer. He is 427 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:04.880 an Emmy Award winner. Uh. And we'll try to laugh a little bit 428 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.160 about what's going on coming up at eleven o'clock right here on WBZ Night Side. 429 00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.640 Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World night Side Studios on 430 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.960 WBZ News Radio. Okay, you're stuck with me, Gary Tank right here 431 00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:23.160 until midnight dance, Get the night off, six one, seven, ten 432 00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:28.880 thirty. Sam Metler, comedian, Emmy Award winning producer and writer Jones is 433 00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.000 coming up next. He's got I said to Rob, we should have put 434 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:36.160 he in Talma John together. Let's see how that would have gone. Uh. 435 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.519 Both very entertaining, I think, with different points of view by Sammy. 436 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.400 Jones is kind of coming up at eleven o'clock right here on WBC. 437 00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:50.359 All right, Christian peabty, Hi, Christian, what's up on anybody? 438 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.319 Oh boy, good god? You got the time Lynn on your mind. 439 00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:00.599 You're on the night side, Okay, Gary, hopefully I'll be better than 440 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:06.079 that previous call. I don't. It's a low act to follow. I'm 441 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:10.799 sure you're already Yeah, right, I could speak. I'm not bugs Bunny. 442 00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:16.759 With Joe Biden, I agree and I disagree with you about Joe Biden. 443 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.319 Where I disagree is I think he still has enough mojo, if you 444 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.119 will, to serve as president. Whether or not he could get re elected, 445 00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.480 I'm not sure. But I think the big challenge that he would have 446 00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.759 faced, and you mentioned it is where I agree with you his optics and 447 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:45.559 image. And you know that's been a problem historically in American politics since the 448 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:54.319 eighteen thirties. William Henry Harrison invented the whole log cabin campaign, right and 449 00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.720 yeah, And the whole thing about that was William Henry Harrison never grew up 450 00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:05.240 in the word happened. His parents were wealthy Virginia. And yeah, I 451 00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:07.880 mean that's politics for you, right, you know, you know, I 452 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:13.559 love it just reminds me of Bruce Springsteen when when Springsteen did the thing on 453 00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:16.679 Broadway and he wrote racing in the street, and he said, I wrote 454 00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:22.639 racing in his street. I didn't even have my license. Yeah, Johnny 455 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.639 Cash wrote about all these being in prison. He was never in prison. 456 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:28.760 Yeah, all, it's all a bunch of crap. Look, here's the 457 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:31.400 thing, here's the thing. Look, ye, Biden's a good man. 458 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:37.719 And look, I have voted Republican, I have voted Democrat. I just 459 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.320 don't I don't think Trump's a good man. If Trump was a Democrat, 460 00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:43.159 I wouldn't vote for him. I just don't think he's a good person, 461 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:45.519 you know. I mean, that's it. If Nicky Haley was running, 462 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:50.360 I'd look at Nicki Haley, I'd say, what's going on? I absolutely 463 00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:53.719 would consider it. It's all optics right now. And unfortunately, because the 464 00:34:53.800 --> 00:35:00.800 news cycle is every twenty seconds and you're on camera all the time, the 465 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:06.280 president has really become such a spokesperson and Joe can't get it done and he 466 00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.440 and that's it, Like, look, can he be alert enough to run 467 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.760 the country. I don't know, but it doesn't look that way. Lynn, 468 00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:16.920 And that's the problem. All right, I gotta go a good call, 469 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:20.360 buddy, guys. Let's go to Paul Innantasket. Paul, you're on 470 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.400 WBZ, Hey, what's going on? Then you do it. I'm good 471 00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:27.920 for what's on your mind? I got a couple of things. The first 472 00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.320 thing, that's straight in the country. You need term limits. You're gonna 473 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.199 get that in, but everyone in this says we don't really need that, 474 00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:36.639 So you gotta get rid of all of them guys straight in the country. 475 00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:42.079 That's the first thing. Congress. Yeah, yeah, let's talk about that 476 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.719 for a minute. I mean, I'm not against it, certainly not against 477 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:51.119 it. It just seems it takes so damn long when someone gets in there 478 00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.639 to make headway. So I guess the answer is, well, if you 479 00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:58.280 have term limits and you have to have a greater turnover, and then you 480 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:02.039 would be able to I it sounds great, but I don't I don't know 481 00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:07.039 if it would work because it takes so damn long to get CREP done. 482 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:09.519 Well. I think another great thing would be the president's you're run for maybe 483 00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:14.239 six years. Yeah, Paul, I gotta go. But that's not crazy. 484 00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:16.440 The problem is is if they're like eighty one, you can't run for 485 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:22.480 a six year term. But I'm not opposed to that because that's what everybody 486 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:27.800 does do They govern to get reelected. That's what they do. That's not 487 00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:32.239 crazy. It's never gonna happen, but it's not crazy. All right, 488 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.559 we're gonna make this one quick. Let's go to Mark and dry. Mark, 489 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:42.400 you get about thirty seconds. What's on your mind? Mark? What's 490 00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:46.599 up killing? Thirty seconds? Thirty seconds? Good night? Okay, Mike 491 00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:51.559 in Boston, make it quick. Oh he's gone too. Oh we're gonna 492 00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:53.119 do rapid fire. But let's see if we can get John in Boston. 493 00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:59.360 On John, make it quick. What's up Jerry Mortgages? If you bought 494 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.360 the same house you bought four years ago, cross Street, the motors payment 495 00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:09.199 is double Kalala Harris. She paid the bonds for the people who rided the 496 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:14.599 and the riots the black communities, uh three years ago. She paid the 497 00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:17.079 bonds and helped collet the defunding of the police for how did that help Black 498 00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:22.000 America? That was black communities that were damaged? Doctor Function's a Democrat, 499 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.280 funny gain to function research that killed a lot of Black Americas. Even Obama 500 00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:31.199 made gata function research illegal. How was that better for Black America? We 501 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:37.039 get illegal immigrants, we got we got guys covered from terrorist countries into the 502 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.440 city of Boston. We got measles. June thirtieth, there was the thing 503 00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.320 here in Needles in terminally. How's that better for Boston? Gary? It's 504 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:50.280 not even Bill Clinton said it's about the economy, Gary, It's about personality. 505 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.880 Kamala Harris's bankrupt. Her record is bankrupt. I mean, John, 506 00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:59.760 you could you certainly have your opinion. I don't think she has a record. 507 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:06.400 That's the problem. She's a vice president, she doesn't she doesn't have 508 00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:10.039 any control. Oh yeah. She called for the defunding of cops. She 509 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:17.239 said that, I'm personally and personally I'm against that, and personally I'm against 510 00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:21.000 that. So it's the less of two evils. Do you want a guy 511 00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:25.079 that was willing to overthrow the government or do you want her Sabbie who demanded 512 00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:29.719 taking vaccines Trumble? Was it Bien? It was Bien. He is the 513 00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:32.920 dictator, who's the one forcing people to take the vaccine. Well, I'm 514 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.119 pro vaccination. I have to go. But I mean to me, I'm 515 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:42.440 pro vaccination. I'm sorry. I've had every vaccine. I've had every vaccination. 516 00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:46.199 I'm pro vaccination. But I disagree with defund defunding the police. I 517 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:51.000 disagree with that. I'm not going to agree with everything she stands for, 518 00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:55.679 but I can't. Again, everybody thinks like I hate Republicans, I don't. 519 00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.880 I have voted on both sides of the Aisle. I just cannot vote 520 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:05.599 for a man that sat there on January sixth while people were killed, while 521 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:14.840 these I gotta be careful people attacked our government. I'm sorry, I can't 522 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:20.000 do it. Sam Mettler, California. There you goes from California. That's 523 00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.639 all you need to know. He's funny, he's political, he's one an 524 00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:24.360 Emmy. He's coming up after eleven right here on WBC
