WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBS Costin's Radio.

2
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, everybody, welcome on back. So last hour we

3
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 2>had I thought a really interesting conversation with Boston Globe

4
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 2>opinion writer and also a member of the Globe's editorial board,

5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 2>which is a group of very influential people at the

6
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Globe who determine the editorial positions at the Globe. And

7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 2>many of the editorial positions are non ideological, by the way,

8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>But following on our conversation with Karin Hashar about the

9
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>successful campaign of this Democratic socialist, Zoran Mandami, and if

10
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 2>you're a democratic socialist, you know, please do what you

11
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 2>can to support this guy. That's your right, and I

12
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 2>commend you on it. I just think that as he

13
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>becomes a major figure in the Democratic Party at the

14
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 2>age of thirty three, there's going to be a lot

15
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>of people across the country in states that are very

16
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>uncharacteristically are absolutely totally different from New York, who are

17
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>going to react with a lot of concern about the

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>direction of the Democratic Party. We had earlier this week

19
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Sean O'Brien, president of the Teamster's Union. They chose not

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>to endorse. He represents one point three million union members.

21
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 2>And when you take the one point three union members

22
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>and you amplify that with the spouses, the friends, the

23
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 2>family members, the relatives of those union members, you're talking

24
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>about a significant number of voters. Not to say that

25
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 2>they all voted one way or the other, but union

26
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>leaders are not to be underestimated. So in addition to

27
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 2>our conversation with Kareem Heshar of the Boston Globe, there

28
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>was an article in the Herald today which, as I

29
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 2>think most of you know, when I do the program

30
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 2>and we put the program together during the day, sometimes

31
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>we try to mix and match stories that, if not

32
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>compliment one another, are kind of related to one another.

33
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like matching a wine with a dinner. You know,

34
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>you go to a restaurant and you ask the waiter, gee,

35
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm having beef or I'm having fish or chicken or whatever,

36
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>and they will then say, well, i'd suggest this or

37
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>suggest that. So piece by Lance Reynolds in the Boston

38
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Herald today. Lance is someone who I know is pretty

39
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>very good writer. So he talked with Massachusetts Congressman Jake Auchincloss. Now,

40
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Jake Auchenclaus I think has a future in the Democratic

41
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Party here in Massachusetts. He's young, like Seth Moulton, he's

42
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>a veteran and they're both young, and they both served.

43
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>And this is at a time when people were not

44
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>being drafted, didn't have to serve, didn't have to sign up.

45
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>So Argen Class has laid out some concerns and according

46
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>to the article, he is tired of having to ask

47
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>CBS clerks and whether you're talking about Walgreens, CVS, whatever

48
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>drug store you whatever pharmacy you go to, whatever drug

49
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>store or convenience store you go to, to unlock products,

50
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>pointing out how he believes Democrats need to police to

51
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 2>improve their policing of quality of life violations to save

52
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>the party. Now that's interesting theory. What does he mean

53
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>by that? He's laid out five ways. And by the way,

54
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>we will have we have a commitment from Congressman Argenclaus's

55
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>office to have him join us either Monday, Tuesday, or

56
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday next week and talk about this. We were trying

57
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>to get him on tonight, but he was committed elsewhere

58
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Democratic mayors. This is Jake archinclass talking about Democratic mayors

59
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 2>can improve education, affordability and Lauren Order including a suggestion,

60
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 2>quoting now from Lance Reynolds piece, that the Democratic Party

61
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>take a different approach to addressing quote, degradations to public

62
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 2>order unquote. He implifies on that drug use, loitering, hanhandling, encampments,

63
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>think about mass and casts, vandalism, shoplifting, those compound into lawlessness.

64
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>According to a blog that the congressman put up on

65
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>his website Tuesday night, quote, there's nothing compassionate or progressive

66
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 2>about permitting them unquote. He goes on to day in

67
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I think every time a customer has to ask the

68
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>CVS clerk. There are a lot of cvs is in

69
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>his district, so it could be any any one of

70
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>these stores, Walgreens or whatever. To unlock the shampoo. Democrats

71
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>get less popular. Aarcking class added, policing high public standards

72
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>can create positive feedback loops for law in order. He

73
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>was reacting specifically to the mayor o primary that the

74
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>numbers that started to commit on Tuesday night, this individual,

75
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Zorron Mendani, the thirty three year old Democratic Socialist, had

76
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>declared victory.

77
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.959
<v Speaker 3>So again, this is this is this is a Massachusetts

78
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 3>congressman reacting to the to the election results in New

79
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 3>York City Mendami if he defeats incumbent Eric Adams in November,

80
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 3>has said hit look to create a network of city

81
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 3>run grocery stores.

82
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's a swell idea. That's a swell idea. This

83
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>idea has caught back lists from business owners and customers.

84
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>This is what Lance Reynolds writes, running big cities. Well,

85
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>we're now back to Arkan Class is a vital way

86
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 2>for Democrats to earn back voters trust after the catastrophic

87
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>school closures and increase in crime. Violent and property crime

88
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 2>are the most important to prevent, the base day congressman said,

89
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 2>but degregations to public order also matter. Arcan Class sparked

90
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>criticism earlier this year when he actually had the audacity

91
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>to vote for the Lake and Riley Act, The bill,

92
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 2>named after the twenty two year old Georgia nursing student

93
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 2>murdered by an illegal immigrant, change federal law to require

94
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 2>ICE to detain and deport I legal immigrants who commit burglary, theft, larcening,

95
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 2>and shoplifting. Arkan Class set in a statement at the

96
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>time that the bill undermines the constitution without improving out

97
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 2>a security. Shoplifting remains prevalent in Massachusetts. I'm confused by

98
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that statement that Reynolds has attributed to auchen Class here

99
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>that we'll ask auchen Class about that Hayden's approach. Then

100
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>he talks about Kevin Hayden, the district attorney in Souffolk County,

101
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 2>who I don't think is that a great job, by

102
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 2>the way, but that's well, we'll talk about that. He's

103
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>probably an improvement over Rachel Rollins. So the point is this,

104
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>have you recently gone into a store and wanted and

105
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I have and wanted to buy a product and you

106
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 2>realize that the product, and in some cases there's like

107
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>a couple of tubes of toothpaste maybe worth fifteen bucks,

108
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>is under lock and key. Now, maybe not where you live,

109
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 2>but maybe where poor people live, because I think that

110
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>there's more of this petty theft of vandalism, which puts

111
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>mom and pop stars out of business, by the way,

112
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>in communities.

113
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

114
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's primarily in democratic cities. And these are the

115
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>issues that the Democrats have not paid attention to. And

116
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that Jake Arkinclaus Congressman Arking Class is calling

117
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>their attention to these these situations because these are quality

118
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.480
<v Speaker 2>of life issues that affect people. Look, there's a lot

119
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 2>of quality of life issues dealing with the price of gasoline,

120
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>which is still down, grocery store items which not as

121
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 2>bad as maybe most people thought. Are there some items

122
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 2>that have gone up? Yeah, but the items that have

123
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>gone up to the items that I walk by. I

124
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>don't need to buy these expensive cookies anymore. I can

125
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.799
<v Speaker 2>stick with my oreos. Okay, you want to charge me

126
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 2>eight dollars for a box of cookies or a bag

127
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 2>of cookies, not me, not me. So I'd love to

128
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 2>know what your experience. Do you agree with Congress Bannakin

129
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 2>class I do, And as a matter of fact, I

130
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 2>have more respect for him because he is taking a

131
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>position within his party that is going to be criticized

132
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.279
<v Speaker 2>by some in his party. He is basically putting a

133
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>stake in the ground and saying, hey, we're going in

134
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 2>the wrong direction. We're sliding off to the extreme left,

135
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and we are not expressing and showing sufficient concern for

136
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.759
<v Speaker 2>the vast majority of people who just are simply looking

137
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 2>to live their lives, go to work, pay their taxes,

138
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>raise their kids, and maybe get a couple of weeks

139
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>vacation in the summertime, and that is what the Democrats,

140
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, have forgotten about. And that's why Donald Trump,

141
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 2>who I have plenty of criticism with in terms of

142
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>stylistically and in some cases the way he's handled issues.

143
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Although some of his issues, I think he's done a

144
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 2>good job. And I will give him credit when he's right,

145
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 2>and I'll criticize him when he's wrong, just as I

146
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 2>will criticize Democrats, and when they're right. As Jake Auchenclaus

147
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>is right, I will say good for you, Jake Auchenclaus,

148
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 2>because you're bringing your party back to where most Americans,

149
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>where most Democrats really want to be. And also, by

150
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>the way, forget the Democrats and the Republicans. Races in

151
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>America now are determined by people who have no affiliation

152
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 2>with either party. They are the independents, the unenrolled. I'm

153
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>unenrolled in Massachusetts with the equivalent of being independent. The

154
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 2>vast majority of voters in Massachusetts are neither Democrat nor Republican.

155
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I think the Republicans have about eleven percent, the Democrats

156
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 2>have about thirty percent. The vast majority in Massachusetts are unenrolled.

157
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 2>But as an unenrolled voter When I hear someone like

158
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Jake Auchincloss make these comments or Seth Molten makes these comments,

159
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I will say, hey, there's still hope for the Democratic Party.

160
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 2>There's still hope for a two party system in America,

161
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>which we need, just like we need a two party

162
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>system in Massachusetts. These are familiar themes to Nightside. Whether

163
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.279
<v Speaker 2>you agree to disagree, bring it on six one, seven, two, five, four,

164
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.440
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty six, one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty

165
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.840
<v Speaker 2>will be back on Nightside right after a brief commercial break.

166
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 1>If you're on Nightside with Dan Ray on w b Z,

167
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Boston's news radio.

168
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>So comments that Democratic Congressman Jake uchenclass made about quality

169
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 2>of life issues, and I think he is spot on

170
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 2>whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or an independent. I'd

171
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>love to hear your reaction to his observations, because I

172
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 2>do think that it's the little things in life. If

173
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 2>you read again the article today by Kareein Hajar in

174
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>The Boston Globe, she talked about riding the subways in

175
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>New York City and having been exposed literally to virtually

176
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 2>everything you could imagine. I mean, it's it's quality of

177
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 2>life issues, quality of life issues that if people, if

178
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats can't run big cities effectively and allow people

179
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 2>to feel safe, and and and and there will be stores.

180
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.399
<v Speaker 2>And this is what aucken class is talking about. I

181
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>joined the conversation. I got some wide open lines here.

182
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 2>I think he's hit upon a nerve. And if you've

183
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 2>ever been in this situation where you go into a

184
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 2>store and you have to find something that's under lock

185
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 2>and key, and I have done that at a Target store,

186
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 2>I can remember, and I think it was I forget

187
00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>it was some small item I was looking for for

188
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.960
<v Speaker 2>some reason, uh maybe because it was small and people

189
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.039
<v Speaker 2>were walking out the door with it. Six one, seven, two, five,

190
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.

191
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.919
<v Speaker 2>At eleven o'clock, we're going to change topics and we're

192
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about the Pentagon News conference today with

193
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 2>General Dan Kane, which I think has left uh pretty

194
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>strong impressions. Bill is in Pennsylvania. Bill, welcome next on

195

<v Speaker 2>Nightsacer right ahead.

196

<v Speaker 5>Well I I yeah, I've seen them both on TV.

210
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:12.159
<v Speaker 7>Dan.

211
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.799
<v Speaker 5>I honor them for their for their uh military uh

213
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.559
<v Speaker 5>these two gentlemen right here, Okay. One thing I hope

214
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 5>that when you have them on, if you ask him,

215
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 5>can you give me can you show me one time okay,

216
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 5>when when Biden had his open border policy, the Democrats

217
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 5>had their open border policy. Jake, show me one time, okay,

218
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.840
<v Speaker 5>one tweet anything that that you said, we have an

219
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 5>open border, okay, and we need to take care of

220
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 5>the open border because this this stuff about Now where

221
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 5>I live, I don't have to worry about, you know,

222
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 5>stuff being locked up, Dan, But if I go down

223
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 5>to Harrisburg into Harrisburg Central. Okay, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania be in

224
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 5>our capital over here if I go into if I

225
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 5>go in there and uh, and then then that's the

226
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 5>case in certain parts of it of Harrisburg.

227
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So let me ask you that. Let me ask

228
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 2>you here's a question. Okay, who I don't know who

229
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.080
<v Speaker 2>the mayor of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is. I suspect you probably do.

230
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Is that mayor a Democrat or a Republican?

231
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:19.039
<v Speaker 5>It's been Democrats forever, Dan, It's a sanctuary. It's one

232
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 5>of Pennsylvania sanctuary city.

233
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

234
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.360
<v Speaker 2>See, there's a commonality here. And by the way, my

235
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>attitude is when someone agrees with you on an issue,

236
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 2>it's better to create that relationship as opposed to immediately saying,

237
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 2>well we might agree on that, but there was another

238
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.519
<v Speaker 2>couple of issues you didn't do enough on. I just

239
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:46.080
<v Speaker 2>think that it's always smarter to it's always smarted to

240
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 2>try to build alliances than to blow up bridges.

241
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 5>I agree with I agree with that. But this open

242
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 5>border policy for for four years under Biden, Dan, that

243
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.159
<v Speaker 5>that was one of the big, big, big problems.

244
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 2>And but they need to be asked, you have listened

245
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 2>to my show a lot. How much did I? I

246
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>used to go after President Biden on open borders. Uh

247
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 2>and and Mariorcas, who was a total disgrace. I don't

248
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>know if Mariorcas was running the government on that policy

249
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>or if he thought that's what Joe Biden wanted. I

250
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 2>don't think Joe Biden if he was really compassment this

251
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 2>for the entire four years with a lot of that's happened,

252
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>that's led that led directly to Donald Trump's election. I mean,

253
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.279
<v Speaker 2>that was the greatest gift the Democrats ever could have

254
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 2>given to Donald Trump. It wasn't a gift that it

255
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 2>gave to to America, that's for sure.

256
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and and and the impeachments and also the indictments.

257
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 5>But listen, I totally agree with you. Okay, Well, I

258
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.360
<v Speaker 5>listen to your show almost every night. But you know

259
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 5>you've gone after, You've gone after these people. But these

260
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 5>young these young congressmen need to ask me, asked these questions,

261
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 5>and I would ask one other question. I would ask

262
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:59.159
<v Speaker 5>these both of them. Okay, well you endorse Adams, Okay,

263
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 5>ask him.

264
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:00.679
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

265
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's now that is a very legitimate question.

266
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:09.200
<v Speaker 2>That is a very legitimate question, and it's it's a

267
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:13.920
<v Speaker 2>relevant question because I believe that auchen Class, as this

268
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 2>article suggests, posted on his website Tuesday night, and I

269
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.960
<v Speaker 2>think that he that that is what caused him to

270
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.400
<v Speaker 2>post that, and I will ask him that we expect

271
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to talk with Congressman Auchen Class. I believe e the Monday,

272
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday or Wednesday, Okay.

273
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and and and I remember a few months ago

274
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 5>Dan Seth Moulten okay, came out and said how bad, uh,

275
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, how bad mentally Joe Biden was. But it

276
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 5>was it was after Joe Biden dropped out that Seth

277
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 5>Maulten said that you can go back and look at that.

278
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.599
<v Speaker 2>And I agree, But here's the deal. What wait second,

279
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.079
<v Speaker 2>hold on for a second. If you're trying to build

280
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:59.079
<v Speaker 2>a bridge to someone, Look, there were Republicans who stuck

281
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.359
<v Speaker 2>loyally to President Reagan. Now I never felt that that

282
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Reagan was anywhere near nearly as diminished as Biden was

283
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.559
<v Speaker 2>in his second term, but they were a lot of

284
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Democrats who were saying, well, you know, Reagan's going to

285
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>sleep and Reagan's doing this, and Reagan I thought Reagan

286
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.440
<v Speaker 2>had two really good terms as president. I think Joe

287
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Biden had a disastrous term and there was only his

288
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>first term, which is why he didn't get a second term.

289
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:31.119
<v Speaker 5>Well, Igan, Reagan didn't have an open border policy and

290
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 5>then left it didn't.

291
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.400
<v Speaker 2>No, Bill, Bill, you're missing my point. What I'm saying

292
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:39.799
<v Speaker 2>is many of the same Democrats who were questioning Ronald

293
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Reagan's capacity, his intellectual capacity. He was seventy years old

294
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:50.480
<v Speaker 2>when he finished as president. Okay, he was. He was

295
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 2>a young man compared to what Joe Biden and Donald

296
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Trump are. Donald Trump is at the top of his

297
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>game intellectually. You might disagree with everything the guy says,

298
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.759
<v Speaker 2>but he goes out in handles press conferences. Joe Biden

299
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:05.720
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do that. Joe Biden was was past his prime,

300
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker 2>past his prime. But I will deal with that. We

301
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:11.200
<v Speaker 2>will die. We will deal with that next week. Again,

302
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>don't get lost in your loyalty to the Republicans or

303
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the Trump because I've got to keep them all. Honest, Bill,

304
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm trying to say.

305
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:20.279
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, I agree, I agree with you, and

306
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 5>I would ask I would ask both of these gentlemen, Okay,

307
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:25.480
<v Speaker 5>are you gonna are you gonna get out of the

308
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 5>Democrat Party because the Democrats Party is going that.

309
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 2>That's a bridge builder, right there. Sure, you're a United

310
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.839
<v Speaker 2>States congress from Democratic Party. That's one. That's a question

311
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.319
<v Speaker 2>that that if I'm a Democrat, I can't absolutely I'm

312
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna join. I'm gonna join I don't know, but I'm

313
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna join something else. I'm gonna throw away my eight

314
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>years and ten years Bill, Bill, you you're making my job.

315
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.240
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I can't believe you're asking me those

316
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:56.759
<v Speaker 2>questions because all you're doing is you're It's it's like

317
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 2>when someone has said to you. Have you ever had

318
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 2>like a name who's come over to you and said, hey, Bill,

319
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, I might have been a little out of

320
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.559
<v Speaker 2>line when I made that comment to you the other night. Normally,

321
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:09.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, if we were talking about the pirates or something,

322
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:13.319
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever, Uh, what do you say? I mean

323
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 2>at that point? Generally, if you're a gentleman, you're gonna say, hey,

324
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:20.559
<v Speaker 2>no big deal, you know whatever, Or you could say, well,

325
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's a few other things I want to

326
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.759
<v Speaker 2>throw in your face too. Come on, Bill, you're better

327
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:26.960
<v Speaker 2>than that, all right. I gotta go.

328
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 5>No I'm not like that, but listen, I did well.

329
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not in your personal life, but tonight just sound

330
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 2>like I want to go in for the gill. I

331
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>want to.

332
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 5>I want to the politicians. The politicians get to.

333
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Me, Dan, but obviously got a life, Get a life.

334
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Keep calling this show, but get a life. Okay. The

335
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 2>only line is six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty.

336
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:47.759
<v Speaker 2>We're coming back right after this.

337
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're on Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's

338
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

339
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>By the way, just a quick follow up to Bill's

340
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>stupid question. And it was a stupid question. There are

341
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 2>people of every category who are racist, okay, but hopefully

342
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.039
<v Speaker 2>as time goes by, fewer and fewer, the vast majority

343
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 2>of people are not racists. And do I have a

344
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.279
<v Speaker 2>couple of callers who I feel happy to be black

345
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 2>and a racist? Yeah, okay, but I got white callers

346
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.440
<v Speaker 2>who are how I have my suspicions about. But the

347
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 2>vast majority of people of all backgrounds, of all colors

348
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.640
<v Speaker 2>have come to understand that racism is a sin. Okay,

349
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>It's America's original sin. Okay. And people need to understand

350
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 2>you don't judge people by the color of their skin.

351
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:50.680
<v Speaker 2>You judge them, as Martin Luther King said, by the

352
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.839
<v Speaker 2>content of their character. And Bill, I don't know where

353
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 2>that question came from, but I think it was insulting.

354
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>It was beneath me, and very disappointed that you would

355
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.960
<v Speaker 2>even ask me the question, because it makes me think

356
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.720
<v Speaker 2>that maybe maybe you had some sort of an ulterior motive.

357
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm very disappointed in the quality of that call.

358
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I tried to explain to you rationally, Bill, but you

359
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>were irrational tonight, and I'm tired of irrationality amongst my callers.

360
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Nick is in Winchester, Nick, welcome you. And next on Nightside, Hey, Dan,

361
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.160
<v Speaker 2>how are you, buddy? Well, I hope you're going to

362
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:32.160
<v Speaker 2>be a better caller than Bill. Was a better point.

363
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Go right ahead.

364
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:39.160
<v Speaker 7>No, absolutely, I'm full fledged independent, but I concur with

365
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 7>you and the democratic gentleman from New York. I can't

366
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.319
<v Speaker 7>agree enough. I mean, especially today with everything going on,

367
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:51.160
<v Speaker 7>you know, we need a little bit more stability in

368
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:52.839
<v Speaker 7>the more we get, the I think the better off

369
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 7>people are going to be.

370
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well again, I was pleased when I read this

371
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 2>article this morning, and the Hero by Lance Reynolds has

372
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:06.559
<v Speaker 2>comments that Jake Cochinhaus, a Democratic congressman here from Massachusetts

373
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:10.359
<v Speaker 2>made I just think that both parties, the Democrats and

374
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the Republicans, better beware of the extremists in their and

375
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 2>the wings of their party because those extremists are alienating

376
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:23.960
<v Speaker 2>independent voters like you and me. Exactly, And that's that's

377
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the premise of my argument here. And uh, you know,

378
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 2>when you have somebody who's going to become maybe mayor

379
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:36.119
<v Speaker 2>of New York City, Uh, and you realize that, uh,

380
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 2>he has made comments about infatada, the infitata should be global.

381
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>That's frightening. Yeah. And again, a lot of these students

382
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.519
<v Speaker 2>for justice in Palestine. I want justice for everyone, but exactly,

383
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 2>you know the same people who are who are yelling,

384
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, from the from the river to the sea.

385
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I know what that means. I'm not stupid. I know

386
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:05.039
<v Speaker 2>exactly what that means. Yeah, and that means obliterate and

387
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>get rid of Israel. And yeah, you know, if you

388
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.079
<v Speaker 2>don't learn from her history, you're doing to repeat it.

389
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.039
<v Speaker 2>So have you had talk let's lighten it up a

390
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Have you had the experience of walking into

391
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 2>a you know, a store and wanting to buy, purchase

392
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.920
<v Speaker 2>a product and realize the product is locked up and

393
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.960
<v Speaker 2>you have to get an open the product.

394
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:31.039
<v Speaker 4>Several times, Walmart target CBS a lot of them.

395
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>And I understand that I do.

396
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.640
<v Speaker 4>This haidening because I don't know if it's because of

397
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.119
<v Speaker 4>location or it's just it's fair.

398
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:41.200
<v Speaker 5>I have no idea.

399
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, I assume that most of these stores have suffered

400
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>some you know, some loss to to people who feel

401
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they can go in and do a five finger discount

402
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.839
<v Speaker 2>and put something in their pocket. But and I also

403
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.319
<v Speaker 2>know that a lot of the lawyers have told stores

404
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 2>that they should instruct the employees that even if they

405
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 2>see someone stealing something, you know, let them go, and

406
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.680
<v Speaker 2>because they're concerned about liability issues. But I have a

407
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 2>friend of mine who has a liquor store in you know,

408
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:20.720
<v Speaker 2>in West roxby a package store, and he's had kids

409
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:23.759
<v Speaker 2>coming in there and just grabbing anything they can grab.

410
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:26.319
<v Speaker 2>And you can't. You can't run a business like that.

411
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:29.160
<v Speaker 2>The margin on any business is not great. And if

412
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>you're running a madego in a in a poorer community,

413
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.759
<v Speaker 2>which makes products available to people who might not have

414
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.319
<v Speaker 2>cars and don't want to travel on the tee, you're

415
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 2>providing a service to that community. You should be celebrated

416
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 2>in that community for providing that service, not not become

417
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the victim of crimes. You know.

418
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's sad. I see it all the time. I

419
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 4>saw her two weeks ago at Walmont, I caught two kids. No, no, no,

420
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 4>it's okay, yep, I saw I see it at market basket.

421
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.640
<v Speaker 4>The gentleman just just this past weekend loaded up as

422
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:10.960
<v Speaker 4>backpack would meet. So I'm went up front pill the manager. Yeah,

423
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.680
<v Speaker 4>but we really we didn't see him. I'm like, okay, buddy, Yeah,

424
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.839
<v Speaker 4>that goes on like that. You know, you lose two, three, four,

425
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.079
<v Speaker 4>five whatever, it is, one hundred dollars a day. By

426
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 4>the end of the week, they're gonna fail, you know

427
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:25.400
<v Speaker 4>that four or five hundreds now three thousand.

428
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:28.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well what the lawyers have told them, okay, and

429
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a lawyer. The lawyers have said, look, you're greater

430
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>concerned his liability. So if you went up to that

431
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 2>guy and said, hey, could you open up your.

432
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Backpack, it turns into a safety issue.

433
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's a safety issue. But then also the guy

434
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>that why I just happen to commit there and I

435
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:46.240
<v Speaker 2>have a backpack, and now what are you accusing me of?

436
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:48.519
<v Speaker 2>And at that point, he's going to get a lawyer.

437
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 2>They're going to find a lawsuit against market Basket, and

438
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.079
<v Speaker 2>the market Basket is going to say, look, you know,

439
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 2>let's pay them a hundred thousand dollars and get rid

440
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>of this case.

441
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, we don't want to. We don't want them

442
00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:58.480
<v Speaker 4>back on both fity.

443
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's crazy. And what happens is we all pay

444
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 2>for it because whatever the pilfordge loss is on any

445
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 2>of these stores, it's all going to get passed on

446
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to us. Ye, Nick, thank you for restoring my faith

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 4>back and I'm always grateful to hear your voice.

452
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 2>going to tie people. I'm going to go to Jeff

453

<v Speaker 2>and Abington. Jeff, You're next time. That side.

454
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 8>Well, No, I don't think there was a stupid question

455
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 8>at all.

456
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I thought it was a really stupid question.

457
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 8>I upset about it.

458
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, why do you think it wasn't a stupid question?

459
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:44.200
<v Speaker 8>Tell me, because you try to play the try to

460
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 8>take a strong stand on a fence all the time.

461
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.559
<v Speaker 8>You when you you always have to play it both ways?

462
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:52.359
<v Speaker 2>How am I playing it both ways?

463
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, every time you will say, well, I agree that

464
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 8>both saw. I have to have to get them people

465
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.920
<v Speaker 8>in all.

466
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's let me tell you what I said. In

467
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:05.640
<v Speaker 2>case you misunderstood what I said.

468
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 8>What I said was Democrats are evil people.

469
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 2>The evil that's what you think. Huh, that's what you think.

470
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:13.440
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

471
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, I don't know how you determine that. But congratulations,

476
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>right to make that comment? The Democrats are evil people?

<v Speaker 2>Six one thirty six one seven. We'll be back on

478
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Nightside right after this.

479
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news Radio.

480
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's keep rolling here. I'm gonna go next

481
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.319
<v Speaker 2>to Ira in Brookline. Irah, welcome you next time. Thank you,

482
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.240
<v Speaker 2>thank you for calling in. Go ahead, Ira.

483
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 9>Yes, a couple of things. I agree very much with

484
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 9>a lot of things you were saying. And I've also

485
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.240
<v Speaker 9>had some of the experiences you mentioned really For example,

486
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:17.240
<v Speaker 9>there's a CBS which is on the bookline Alston Border.

487
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.759
<v Speaker 9>I would hardly call that a bad neighborhood. And yet

488
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 9>the Clareton is locked up?

489
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that is that on what Washington Street?

490
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 9>Not on Harvard Street, North Harvard?

491
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I know where that is now? Yeah, okay, know

492
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:33.039
<v Speaker 2>where it is?

493
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and Clarton's locked up over there or restaurant depot.

494
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.480
<v Speaker 9>Restaurant depot has the pure of an extract locked up.

495
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Huh. I'm not familiar with restaurant depot, but yeah, I

496
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:52.319
<v Speaker 2>think that Clarenon is something that some people I believe

497
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:59.240
<v Speaker 2>you have to almost at this point. There's some of

498
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.559
<v Speaker 2>those anti histaments that people have used. They buy them

499
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.279
<v Speaker 2>in quantity and they somehow get high or something like that.

500
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:10.160
<v Speaker 2>So that might be a different a reason, to be

501
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:14.160
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, maybe someone better than me on this,

502
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.000
<v Speaker 2>but I know that a couple of times stuff that

503
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:19.039
<v Speaker 2>used to be over the counter, you could buy it,

504
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 2>take it off the shelf. I think you have to

505
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.960
<v Speaker 2>show identification so that you can you can buy it,

506
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 2>but they want to make sure you're not buying five

507
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>or six packages within a period of a day or

508
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 2>so if.

509
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:36.400
<v Speaker 9>I didn't have to, I wasn't as identification.

510
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, well could be wrong in that, but

511
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I do know that someone out there will know someone

512
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.680
<v Speaker 2>of who has a pharmalogical background or know it better

513
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>than me. But there was one of those products that

514
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:56.079
<v Speaker 2>they were like separating. They were opening the capsules and

515
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:58.519
<v Speaker 2>they were then they were crushing it was it was

516
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a druggie. It's a druggy issue. But when the stuff

517
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:07.480
<v Speaker 2>like toothpaste or shampoo, you know, a couple they why

518
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.079
<v Speaker 2>is that stuff locked up fifteen bucks?

519
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:15.559
<v Speaker 9>Is you're right the five million discount? But you were

520
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 9>also talking about Jake Augenklous, who is of course my congressman,

521
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:24.480
<v Speaker 9>being a bookline. Sure, for the most part, I would

522
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 9>say ogen class has been pretty good. I have to

523
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 9>say for the most part, because even though you say better,

524
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.480
<v Speaker 9>we should focus on the good and not play gotcha

525
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:37.880
<v Speaker 9>on the ones that they that we disagree on. At

526
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:40.519
<v Speaker 9>the same time, I don't want to give anybody a

527
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:44.319
<v Speaker 9>free pass when they've done something that we don't agree with.

528
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you on that. I agree on that.

529
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:50.319
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, Now, I remember a couple of years back, you

530
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:54.359
<v Speaker 9>remember that famous January sixth Select Committee in Congress. Sure,

531
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:00.440
<v Speaker 9>and Nancy Pelosi kicked off a few of the people

532
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:04.359
<v Speaker 9>who the Republicans want to put on that committy. So

533
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.359
<v Speaker 9>the Republicans played tick for tat and they kicked off somebody,

534
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 9>a Democrat from the House Foreign Relations Committee. Now it

535
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 9>wasn't only a matter of revenge or payback. This particular

536
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 9>person was Washib Talib, who has made very anti American

537
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.240
<v Speaker 9>comments and of course course poems is real too. And

538
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.240
<v Speaker 9>there was a vote as to whether or not she

539
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 9>should stay in the committee. It happened to Republicans were

540
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 9>in the majority, so they got their way, but the Democrats,

541
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.200
<v Speaker 9>every one of them, voted to keep her on. And

542
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:47.559
<v Speaker 9>with all due respect to Congress and Roman class, if

543
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:51.640
<v Speaker 9>he really wants to be independent of the party line,

544
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 9>that's a particular issue I think he should have been.

545
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Was he on that committee?

546
00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 9>No? But the point is this was no.

547
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I said no. What I'm saying is he could he?

548
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>You know again, I guess what I was trying to

549
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:13.160
<v Speaker 2>say to Bill in Pennsylvania. It was if someone who

550
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 2>you disagree with politically, it takes a position that that

551
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.519
<v Speaker 2>that you now agree with, it's better to try to

552
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.799
<v Speaker 2>build an alliance in a bridge, as opposed to saying, okay,

553
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:31.359
<v Speaker 2>well you agree with me on that, but how come

554
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 2>Europe you don't agree with me on that. It's sometimes

555
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:38.359
<v Speaker 2>if you can, it's it's better to have you know

556
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:42.119
<v Speaker 2>someone even you build a bridge on a friendship on

557
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.359
<v Speaker 2>a friendship. I mean, if I'm a United States congressman

558
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and I take one hundred votes a year or whatever,

559
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:53.599
<v Speaker 2>and you and I agree on ninety eight percent of

560
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the votes, and there's two that we disagree on, well,

561
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a pretty good percentage. I mean someone was quoted

562
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 2>as saying, and I think that I forget who it was,

563
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that that if on twelve out of twelve votes, if

564
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 2>on nine out of twelve votes you agree with someone,

565
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:19.719
<v Speaker 2>support them, But if it's twelve out of twelve votes,

566
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:24.679
<v Speaker 2>see a psychiatrist. I mean, you know, that's that's a

567
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:28.119
<v Speaker 2>pretty good line, I think. And the idea is that,

568
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:30.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's in countries around the world that we

569
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 2>don't particularly like where everybody has to agree. You look

570
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 2>at Israel, for example, there's a country that is under

571
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker 2>is under siege. It's been under siege for seventy seven

572
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:44.039
<v Speaker 2>years since it was founded in mayor forty eight, and

573
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:49.360
<v Speaker 2>yet you have a very strong parliamentary system there with

574
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 2>you have you know, Labor and La Coute and all

575
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 2>of these other minority parties, and they have to put

576
00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 2>together a coalition government. Yeah, it's you gotta I mean,

577
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 2>you got it. At some point realized everyone's not going

578
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.519
<v Speaker 2>to agree with you on everything. And I don't expect

579
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 2>that here on nightside either. But I get frustrated by

580
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:15.519
<v Speaker 2>some of the callers who can't stay focused on what

581
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:16.360
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about.

582
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:21.639
<v Speaker 9>Well, I can I understand your point. I could appreciate it,

583
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:28.159
<v Speaker 9>but again, which items you disagree on A quality one,

584
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:34.519
<v Speaker 9>especially there where the respect Congressman oakin class has a

585
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:38.079
<v Speaker 9>very large Jewish constituency. I happen to be Jewish, by

586
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:43.360
<v Speaker 9>the way, that has very large Jewish constituency, and that

587
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.559
<v Speaker 9>to leave is just a red flag. That's an issue

588
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:48.159
<v Speaker 9>that sticking the call.

589
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:51.079
<v Speaker 2>No, I hear you, No, I do I understand the point.

590
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:56.800
<v Speaker 2>If he was on the committee and chose and voted

591
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to keep her on the committee, he's more open to criticism.

592
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:03.639
<v Speaker 2>I think the fact that he's just a member of

593
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Congress and not in that committee, he can be asked

594
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:07.719
<v Speaker 2>about it. And I don't know what he would have

595
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:11.079
<v Speaker 2>said at the time. I have no idea, but I'm

596
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:13.039
<v Speaker 2>not going to necessarily bring that up with him. And

597
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:17.800
<v Speaker 2>we talked to him next next week. Yeah, at that point,

598
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:21.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like if we invite him to come on and

599
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:25.599
<v Speaker 2>talk about subject why and then all of a sudden,

600
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:27.639
<v Speaker 2>where as you know, Bill wanted me to ask him

601
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:30.760
<v Speaker 2>about so many other subjects. Anyway, you're a rational guy.

602
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:32.880
<v Speaker 2>You got to call my show more often. Okay.

603
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:35.440
<v Speaker 9>I have called a couple of times. If you have

604
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 9>another minute or two, I'm sorry that I missed. I

605
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:41.360
<v Speaker 9>tried calling. I just missed when you had that Boss

606
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:45.840
<v Speaker 9>Globe columbistone because I checked just about all the boxes

607
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:49.719
<v Speaker 9>that you were talking about. I was born in Brooklyn,

608
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.559
<v Speaker 9>I lived there as a young man. I am Jewish.

609
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:57.920
<v Speaker 9>I'm also the former a former political editor of the

610
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:02.599
<v Speaker 9>Brooklyn Daily Bolton and my sons live in the heart

611
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:04.519
<v Speaker 9>of the Jewish community in Bumba Park.

612
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:04.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

613
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, we'll have her. We'll have her on again,

614
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:10.679
<v Speaker 2>and I please be you know, we we had lines available,

615
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:13.480
<v Speaker 2>so there's no reason if the lines were packed. From

616
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:15.719
<v Speaker 2>the moment she got on, I'd say, gee, you know

617
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:16.960
<v Speaker 2>what time are you trying to call?

618
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:20.159
<v Speaker 9>I would ask I called late because I was in

619
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:21.639
<v Speaker 9>the car.

620
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.559
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that, but but here's the thing. Call early.

621
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I got to get one more call in here.

622
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:27.800
<v Speaker 9>Okay, okay, Rank here.

623
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, I thank you much appreciate it. Mike, we're

624
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:32.039
<v Speaker 2>tied on time. I'll give you about a minute.

625
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:34.559
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead, yeah quickly.

626
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:40.159
<v Speaker 10>I know. Yeah, a rough night tonight, and listen to it. Anyway,

627
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:42.679
<v Speaker 10>the locking up stuff like that, I think it's still

628
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:49.920
<v Speaker 10>the Castle's vale system. Dan delimited, the people that cl

629
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 10>ims go quickly slap on the wrists, not prosecuting on

630
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:56.880
<v Speaker 10>I know in New York there's a nine hundred and

631
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.400
<v Speaker 10>nine hundred dollars lending with all that they well.

632
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.719
<v Speaker 2>They've raised, they've raised, Yeah, they've raised the limits here.

633
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:04.719
<v Speaker 2>That's a good point you've made here in Boston. Remember

634
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 2>when Rachel Rawlins came into office, she said that they

635
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:11.320
<v Speaker 2>were not going to prosecute theft of whatever the figure was,

636
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:13.880
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred dollars or something. You can steal a lot

637
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.719
<v Speaker 2>of a lot of candy bars, and you can steal

638
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of uh packages of toothpaste, toobs of toothpaste,

639
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:23.239
<v Speaker 2>and shampoo before you get to eight hundred dollars. And

640
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:25.719
<v Speaker 2>if if they're not going to prosecute it, then what

641
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.599
<v Speaker 2>are the store rods supposed to do. It's a dilemma, Mike,

642
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:32.800
<v Speaker 2>great point. Thanks, I'm glad you get out. Here comes

643
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the eleven, we'll be back. We're going to talk about

644
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:39.079
<v Speaker 2>the news conference today that was conducted by the Chairman

645
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 2>of the Joint chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane. Interesting.

646
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:45.119
<v Speaker 2>I hope you'll stick with us.
