WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a nice Boston's News Radio.

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I really enjoyed the last hour. I hope you

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 2>did as well. His name is Robert Charles. The book

4
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.400
<v Speaker 2>is Cherish America. I want to thank Kristin, Nancy, and

5
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Joe who checked in. I'm sorry that we were kind

6
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 2>of rushed at the end, but Joe raised is a

7
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>good point, and that is whether or not any book

8
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>that is published should be available for people who are

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>cannot read, who are blind. And I think that's that

10
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>can only help the number of books that are available

11
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>to people. And I think I thank Kristin for going

12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 2>to the library and asking for the book, and I

13
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>think Nancy who said she had already ordered a book

14
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 2>from Amazon. So I want to take this hour and

15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 2>very seriously consider how lucky we all are to live

16
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>in America. Now. I know, I know that there will

17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 2>be some people who accuse me of flag waving. Well

18
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that's their problem, not mine. Okay, this is not a

19
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>perfect country. Every election hasn't worked out perfectly. From my

20
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 2>point of view, that's not the point. The point is

21
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>that we are fortunate enough to live in a country

22
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>which allows the freedoms that Franklin Roosevelt talked about that

23
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 2>we enjoy in this program every night, one of which

24
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>is freedom of speech. Again, I try to give everybody

25
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to say whatever they want to say within reason.

26
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't want to have you come on

27
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>and use my show to slander other people. If you

28
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>want to argue with me over something, I don't have

29
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 2>a problem with that at all. I just would like

30
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>you to kind of keep it within some relative discourse,

31
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>decent discourse. But when I think about, how does this

32
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>guy and I don't even want to mention his name

33
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>to be really honest with you, But just like I

34
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>don't want to mention the names of the Boston bombers,

35
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 2>how does this guy wake up and decide, at the

36
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>age of forty two, after he has been in the

37
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>US military, who's born in this country? Obviously had a

38
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>name that misled people to think that he might have

39
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>been born elsewhere, but born in this country. He was.

40
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>He was as American as you are or as I am.

41
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>But he made it. He took the decision he's going

42
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 2>to ride a truck down Bourbon Street on New Year's

43
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Eve or New Year's Morning and just slaughter people. What

44
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>gave him the right to do that. How does your

45
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>mind get so messed up that you even contemplate that. Now,

46
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 2>I know that he had had some tough breaks in

47
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>his life. I guess divorced two or three times. A

48
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of people have been divorced two or three times.

49
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people have been through worse than a divorce.

50
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 2>People have survived through the deaths of close relatives, you

51
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>know people. I think of the parents in Newtown, Connecticut

52
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 2>who lost twenty toddlers or children first graders on that

53
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>horrific day, and yet they didn't take to what this

54
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 2>guy did. So I just say that this is a

55
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 2>moment we need to sit back and realize how darn

56
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 2>lucky we are to have been born in this country.

57
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Whatever our politics, whatever our religion, whatever our gender, whatever

58
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>our sexual proclivity. Okay, whether we're Red Sox or Yankee fans.

59
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>But I just think that that we need to do

60
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>more to protect the country. I talked about it last night.

61
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 2>I'll be happy to talk about it again. But my

62
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>first hope is that some of you will rise to

63
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>the occasion and uh enjoin me in saying that that

64
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>we have to cherish this country, because if this country

65
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>were ever to go down the drain? Where is where

66
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>do we go? People from around the world have come

67
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>here legally. Of course, some have come here illegally as well.

68
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 2>I want I prefer people to come legally because they

69
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>lived in dictatorships, they lived underpressive, oppressive regimes. If we

70
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 2>ever lost this country and the principles of this country,

71
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>where do we go? That's why we need to cherish America.

72
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to open up the phone lines six seven,

73
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty, six one seven, nine thirty. We have

74
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 2>seen some horrific events in the last few weeks, the

75
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>murder of the healthcare executive in New York City. If

76
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>we ever devolve into into a country where people are

77
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>just shot at because somehow you feel that you got

78
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 2>screwed by a healthcare company, Okay, there were ways in

79
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>which you can turn this country around. Okay, that's the

80
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 2>beauties of the country. You have elections, you have venues

81
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 2>like this, you have the opportunities newspapers to do what

82
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>you can other countries you can't. And just to think

83
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>that that there are people in this country who are

84
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>somehow identifying with the murderer in New York, I guess

85
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>that there's probably people are identifying with the killer from

86
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Bourbon Street. But if we get to that point, if

87
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 2>we ever get to that point and we lose this country,

88
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>we will never get it back. It's as simple as that. Okay,

89
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go to phones. Let me go to

90
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Gary and Wooburn Gary. I have no idea what you're

91
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>going to say. I never do. But welcome to nightside

92
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 2>and happy New Year, my friend.

93
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Can you hear me?

94
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I can hear you loud and clear.

95
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Obviously what you said was very poetic and so forth.

96
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 4>And me, let's face it, what's going on in the

97
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 4>United States happens in our foreign countries all the time.

98
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 4>What can we do well? Obviously we have to be

99
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 4>very careful when we go outside, you know, and talking

100
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 4>about women with their children and so forth. What I'm

101
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 4>trying to eat and get at is going on at nighttime, Dan,

102
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 4>I'm sixty one years of age, and let me tell you,

103
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.480
<v Speaker 4>going on at nighttime is very dangerous. It's just it's

104
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 4>just that's where a lot of people it's so doc

105
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 4>out and you can be victimized so easily. And I

106
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 4>always worry about women who even have their children in

107
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 4>a car and being abducted. What's the good called car

108
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.920
<v Speaker 4>what's it called car jackey car jackets?

109
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, well that's well. Let me just let me

110
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>say this, Let me try to turn this around on

111
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>you if I can't. Okay, we have the freedom in

112
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>this country, uh, to move around anytime we want. There's

113
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 2>a lot of countries in the world that say, oh no,

114
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 2>there's a curfew. You have to be in your home

115
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>from seven o'clock at night until six o'clock in the morning. Uh.

116
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>There are countries where freedom to travel doesn't exist, freedom

117
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>to move around, So I need we need to cherish

118
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>that freedom. At the same time, we need to be

119
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 2>vigilant out there. You're right, when you're out at dark

120
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>at night, it's you're more susceptible perhaps to some form

121
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>of an assault and attack. But at the same time, hopefully, hopefully,

122
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 2>if people see something like that going on, there will

123
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 2>be enough people who rise to the occasion and interrupt

124
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>that that sort of crime. Do you know what I'm

125
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 2>trying to get at. I'm trying to look at the

126
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 2>glasses being half full is supposed to be a half empty.

127
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 5>Gary, Well, I'm.

128
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Trying to stay on subject matter with you because after all,

129
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 4>I can dress. But one thing that really bothers me.

130
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 4>I work a second shift, the third shift type of

131
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 4>job all the time, and I work oddball hours. And

132
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 4>one thing I notice is this. I know everything comes

133
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 4>down the money in electric bills, that whether it's a

134
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 4>market basker or all these stores, especially at nighttime when

135
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 4>it hits the fall and winter in neighborhoods. Light up

136
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 4>these neighborhoods, and you know these stores the parking lots

137
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 4>like a Christmas tree. I know it costs a lot

138
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 4>of money for the electric grid, and the people are

139
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.600
<v Speaker 4>paying the bills, the owners and of course the city

140
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 4>and states. But do you agree with me light it

141
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 4>up like a Christmas tree.

142
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>What you're saying is, I think that businesses that want

143
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>people to come to do their stores and spend money,

144
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 2>whether it's a grocery store or it's a big box store,

145
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>they have an obligation to provide a greater light to

146
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>make people feel more comfortable. That's what you're saying, right right, Okay.

147
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I would suggest that that if a company was smart

148
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 2>and they were going to be open after dark, and

149
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>most companies are, it's in their interest to make sure

150
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 2>that that parking lot is lit up like a Christmas

151
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 2>tree because it will draw more customers. So I don't

152
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>know why any store, you know, major company again, whether

153
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>it's a big box store or a grocery store, wouldn't

154
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>be smart enough to light up that parking lot and

155
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>make sure that there were no dark spots in that

156
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 2>parking lot where people could come shop and be comfortable.

157
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.080
<v Speaker 2>So I'm agreeing with you, but I also think we're

158
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be able to pass a lot to make

159
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>it that way. We need to vote with our feet.

160
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>And if you're not comfortable going to a home depot

161
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>or a supermarket after darkness because the parking lot is

162
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>not lit up, then find a better short to go

163
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>to if you have to shop at that hour of

164
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 2>the night.

165
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I want to throw this at you, Dan. Can

166
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.080
<v Speaker 4>I name a certain place in North end of the

167
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Massachusetts that's an apartment complex? Can I name it?

168
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? But please be careful, hopefully you're not going to

169
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>disparage it.

170
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, Well, it's called the Royal Crust Apartments and

171
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.240
<v Speaker 4>it's been around for like over forty years or more.

172
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.039
<v Speaker 4>All kinds of people live there and they pay range

173
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 4>wise of two thousand to as much as twenty seven

174
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 4>hundred and fifty dollars for rent. A buddy of mine

175
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 4>had a pizza joint about ten years ago, and I

176
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 4>made a quick delivery for them to help him out.

177
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 4>The place is so dark, it's like doc parking lot

178
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 4>all the time. These people are came heavy, heavy rents,

179
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 4>and these men and women who are single, they're gonna

180
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 4>walk to their promise in the darkness whatever time they

181
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 4>get home. It's such a disgrace. I can't stand people

182
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.080
<v Speaker 4>being victimized, and so far I am dead set against it.

183
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 4>What do you think of what I just said?

184
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I who would support people being victimized? But again, I

185
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.080
<v Speaker 2>think it's up to those folks to go to their landlord,

186
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, and express themselves. That's that's again, I understand

187
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the concerns you are. I'm looking probably to get a

188
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>little more positive. So you've had an opportunity to express

189
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 2>those concerns. If you live in a situation that you're uncomfortable,

190
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>you you have every right to call the local police

191
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>department and say I think that that this parking lot

192
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 2>needs to be lit up better because it's gonna uh,

193
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 2>it's it's gonna diminish the potential for crime. I mean

194
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>people have to take it upon themselves, Gary to to

195
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 2>pick up the phone or or you know, file a complaint.

196
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you just can't sit around and say I

197
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 2>want that home people to be to be lit up more.

198
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, maybe they have complain and nobody does nothing about it.

199
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>But thanks very much to the call. Is always happy

200
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>new Year. Okay, thank you much. Got to take a break.

201
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Please get me back on track. Folk coming back on

202
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>night Side.

203
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

204
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

205
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope I've been clear in what I'd like to

206
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 2>hear you talk about, and that is, what is it

207
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>about this country that you cherish? And if there's nothing

208
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>that you cherish about this country, you don't have to call.

209
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>But let's let's get positive here, because if we don't

210
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 2>keep this country together, we will lose this country. We

211
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 2>have an obligation to pass this country on to our descendants,

212
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.720
<v Speaker 2>to our kids, into our grandkids, into our grand children.

213
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Bill and Lexington. Bill next on

214
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 2>night Side, don't disappoint me. Bill, tell me what you

215
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:23.080
<v Speaker 2>cherish about America.

216
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, Bill didn't happen to. Yeah, I cherish. What

217
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.799
<v Speaker 6>I cherish about America is people die trying to get

218
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 6>here every day. Is it the America I grew up in?

219
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:40.360
<v Speaker 6>It is not. I think the last time we felt

220
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 6>united was nine to eleven, and I think since then

221
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 6>we've been torn apart. But it is still the greatest

222
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.519
<v Speaker 6>country on earth, and we we have a lot to

223
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:51.200
<v Speaker 6>look forward to.

224
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think that. Look, it is not

225
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>a perfect country. There's no perfect country in the world. World.

226
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>But I'll tell you no. But when we somehow can

227
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:09.480
<v Speaker 2>produce nutjobs like this guy that mowed down dozens of

228
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 2>people and killed fourteen people on Bourbon Street, how do

229
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>you get to that point in this country? You know,

230
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>if you lived in the if you know, if you

231
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>lived in North Korea and and you just felt that

232
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>there was nothing you could do, and all of a

233
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.519
<v Speaker 2>sudden you decided that you wanted to, you know, take

234
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 2>out you know, some military people or generals or whatever,

235
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 2>but you'd taken out innocent people who who you don't

236
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 2>even know. They said that this guy had some postings

237
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 2>on the Internet that he was committed to ISIS and

238
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.720
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to kill his family members, but he didn't

239
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 2>think that that was really make the point, so he

240
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.679
<v Speaker 2>decided to kill just every day Americans. What a fire nutjob.

241
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.200
<v Speaker 6>I heard that afternoon and I was horrified. I have

242
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 6>no idea, Dan, it's you know, people don't in this country.

243
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.039
<v Speaker 2>If people really get to the point where they don't

244
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>like this country to the point that this guy was,

245
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 2>let's you just leave, man. Well it wouldn't have been

246
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>just nicer if you together. I said, I am now Isis.

247
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go and I'm going to join up

248
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>with my colleagues in Isis in Syria. Have the guts

249
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 2>to follow what you believe.

250
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 6>Go explore Antarctica by yourself. Yeah, that's enough as well,

251
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, you know what I mean, like go for

252
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 6>go for to go Explora, you know, and see what happens.

253
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna take out innocent people that this is our country.

254
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:51.200
<v Speaker 6>We should be able to celebrate a New Year's Eve

255
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 6>without anything like that going on. It's disgusting. All around

256
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 6>the world, you don't see this type of stuff as much.

257
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're sorry. At the German market, the Christmas market

258
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 2>in Germany a few weeks ago, and maybe that's what

259
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>gave this guy the idea. I just look at these people,

260
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>the people who we have in this country. And again,

261
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.639
<v Speaker 2>I think we talked last night, if if this was

262
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>World War two and we found and we had the Internet,

263
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 2>and there were people going to websites, uh that were

264
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Nazi websites which were teaching them how they could destroy

265
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 2>America from within, those people be put in jail. And

266
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I think we got to go to the point now

267
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 2>we have to say, if you're going to be hanging

268
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.960
<v Speaker 2>out on an ISIS website, if you're gonna be hanging

269
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>out at a hate website, a ku Klux Klan website

270
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 2>or some sort of a website like that, we're gonna

271
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 2>go and we're gonna have a visit with you. We're

272
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna find out, and we're gonna we got to stop.

273
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 2>We got to be a little proactive in this country.

274
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.720
<v Speaker 6>Respect. I couldn't agree anymore that.

275
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 2>That's constitutional rights. But we've gotten to the point where

276
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 2>now we're now I think we have we have gone

277
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.359
<v Speaker 2>too far to an extreme bill. Thanks for getting us

278
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.680
<v Speaker 2>back on track. I appreciate it much, Thank you, sir.

279
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 6>Always a pleasure. Happy New Year, Happy new year.

280
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Right back at you. Let me go to Glenn Glenn

281
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>and Brighton Glenn. Yeah, you cherish America.

282
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.880
<v Speaker 7>I'm sure you do well. I hate to sound like

283
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker 7>a Trump informa shoe, but I cherished this most recent election.

284
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 2>We cherish the election. But how about this. You can

285
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 2>cherish the result. You cherish the result. I cherish the

286
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.599
<v Speaker 2>fact that we have an election.

287
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 7>Isn't that true? Yes, we need we need Bill. It's

288
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.519
<v Speaker 7>not bullets. No, I just cherished the I mean, I

289
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.440
<v Speaker 7>just cherished that we're about to have a president that

290
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:50.440
<v Speaker 7>has a problem with illegal sleeping in hotels while home

291
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.400
<v Speaker 7>with veterans who served just sleeping in cardboard boxes.

292
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. You and I agree on that politically, man.

293
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:58.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but but but I'm.

294
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.079
<v Speaker 2>Looking at the bigger picture, and the bigger picture is

295
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, Joe Biden got elected. You and I were

296
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>not fans of Joe Biden's presidency. He was my president

297
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.480
<v Speaker 2>for four years, and I think he did a dismal job,

298
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not sad to see him leave. Okay, It's

299
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 2>as simple as I hope Donald Trump can have a

300
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.480
<v Speaker 2>better presidency than he did the first time around. I

301
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>hope he can keep his emotions under control, and I

302
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.319
<v Speaker 2>hope he can hire people who are both competent and loyal.

303
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.599
<v Speaker 7>I know the appointments. I agree with you. We need

304
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 7>to hope he has a better appointments this time so

305
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 7>far in his corner. But you know we have to

306
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:37.799
<v Speaker 7>wait and see waited four years.

307
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Yep, we'll starting again. He's he really has about two

308
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.839
<v Speaker 2>years in which he's going to be able to do something,

309
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 2>and if he fails miserably in two years, he's going

310
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.839
<v Speaker 2>to pave the way for a Democrat to retake the

311
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 2>White House in twenty eight. So you know again, I

312
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.359
<v Speaker 2>know that you're a big Trump guy. I want to

313
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.519
<v Speaker 2>give him every chance. He would be my president as

314
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.839
<v Speaker 2>of January twentieth, and the crazy liberals who are going

315
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 2>to say he's not my president, guess what he is,

316
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:08.839
<v Speaker 2>just like Joe Biden's been my president for the.

317
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 6>Last four years.

318
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.279
<v Speaker 7>That's right. I always say, go along for the ride

319
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 7>if you don't like the election. I remember I was

320
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.759
<v Speaker 7>not a Reagan guy, but that he was my president.

321
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I was guy I was before Reagan was president. Trust

322
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.319
<v Speaker 2>me on that. Okay, I wish, yeah.

323
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 7>No, I was. I was not a carter person either.

324
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:32.039
<v Speaker 7>I didn't like the long gassoline my dad.

325
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 2>But I voted for Jimmy Carter and uh. And we're

326
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about Jimmy Carter at some point in

327
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the next few days. We tried to do it last night,

328
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:46.640
<v Speaker 2>but events overtook us. Uh, And I'm gonna I had

329
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to meet Jimmy Carter before he was president,

330
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 2>while he was president, and after he was president, and

331
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.799
<v Speaker 2>every time I felt I was dealing with somebody who

332
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:01.119
<v Speaker 2>was a gentleman. Oh yeah, I think he was victim

333
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:02.799
<v Speaker 2>of his circumstances.

334
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.880
<v Speaker 7>Oh no, I think he was a great former president.

335
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.759
<v Speaker 7>I mean the humanitarian stuff he did after that's easy.

336
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was. He was. But I also think that

337
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 2>he was a victim of circumstances that he became president

338
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.480
<v Speaker 2>at a time in which this country needed a revival

339
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't provide it right.

340
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.960
<v Speaker 7>It was fall off from Watergate.

341
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Fallout from Watergate, fall off from Vietnam, and we had

342
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>to go through some ten times then to say once

343
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 2>fought and get back to morning.

344
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 7>You know, I just think I voted. I voted to

345
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 7>Jane McCarthy. But you know, whatever, I.

346
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Was, well, not in seventy six, maybe in the primary,

347
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:43.720
<v Speaker 2>but not in the final election.

348
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.920
<v Speaker 7>Well, no, he was an independent. He ran as an independent,

349
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.839
<v Speaker 7>and he was on the bell as a third party candidate.

350
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen seventy six. I forgot that, to be honest

351
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 2>with you, so I always learned something when I talk

352
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.559
<v Speaker 2>with you, my friend. Appreciate it very much.

353
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 7>All right, that might be a scary thing, but.

354
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:04.839
<v Speaker 6>No, not at all.

355
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, Glenn, appreciate you call. Okay, happy to you, buddy.

356
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, take a quick break here. Coming back on nights,

357
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I had only one line open, six one, seven thirty.

358
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.160
<v Speaker 2>What do you cherish about America? So far people have

359
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 2>had a little tough time articulating what they cherish about America.

360
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I cherish literally everything about America because there's never been

361
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:32.839
<v Speaker 2>a country in the world like this country. It tolerates

362
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:38.119
<v Speaker 2>more lifestyles, it tolerates more points of view than any

363
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>country in the world has ever contemplated. It's a great country.

364
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.599
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, I think that we now

365
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.119
<v Speaker 2>have reached the point with ISIS and supporters of ISIS

366
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.680
<v Speaker 2>that they are terrorists and we need now but we

367
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 2>might we need to defend America internally because there is

368
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 2>a real danger in what is going on in some

369
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:05.039
<v Speaker 2>quarters of America and I think that isis is an

370
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 2>example the far right and the far left. They need

371
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.279
<v Speaker 2>to be more closely monitored because they would take the

372
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 2>country out if they had the opportunity. I got full lines,

373
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.359
<v Speaker 2>which is a good thing. Back on Nightside, right after.

374
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>This Night's Side with Dan Ray, I'm WBZ Boston's news Radio.

375
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Where do you cherish about America? Let's go back and

376
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.440
<v Speaker 2>going to go to will in Long Island. Hey, we're welcome.

377
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:33.960
<v Speaker 2>How are you, sir?

378
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Happy new Year, Happy new Year, Dan. I cherish our

379
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:44.240
<v Speaker 3>individual civil liberties. I cherish our constitution. I cherish our history,

380
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:49.400
<v Speaker 3>our founding fathers. You know, those who willingly give up

381
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 3>essential freedoms in exchange for a perceived sense of security

382
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 3>ultimately deserve neither freedom nor security. Benjamin Franklin, Okay, I

383
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.359
<v Speaker 3>believe in our First and Second Amendment. I believe in

384
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.759
<v Speaker 3>I believe in our freedoms that men fought and died for,

385
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:12.480
<v Speaker 3>and I wish that our politics would return to that.

386
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:17.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm old enough to remember when Tiper O'Neill and Ronald

387
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Reagan were friends, and one time Ronald Reagan said to

388
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 3>tiper O'Neil, why do you say these horrible things? About me,

389
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:25.440
<v Speaker 3>and he goes, it's just politics, and then they would

390
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:25.920
<v Speaker 3>eat lunch.

391
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.440
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask nobody U want to. I got

392
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 2>to ask you a question. Okay, here's my question. I

393
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:37.880
<v Speaker 2>am now an advocate for cracking down, cracking down on

394
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.039
<v Speaker 2>the dark web, and particularly the ISIS sits on the

395
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:46.240
<v Speaker 2>dark Web, which apparently a radicalizing people. I think I

396
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:51.759
<v Speaker 2>wanted to equate. I'm equating ISIS sites and the racist

397
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 2>sites that might exist, the ku klux claim type sites,

398
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 2>assuming they exist with kitty porn. And just as we

399
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:05.119
<v Speaker 2>need to monitor these kitty porn sites and find out

400
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.160
<v Speaker 2>who's going and who's spending time looking at kitty porn

401
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.880
<v Speaker 2>on the dark web, I think we have to figure

402
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>out who's hanging out at ISO sites because there are

403
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 2>fourteen Americans tonight who are dead who should be allowed.

404
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, that obviously directly relates to Benjamin Franklin's bull

405
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:27.279
<v Speaker 3>right there. I believe that right, and I believe that

406
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 3>you have every right to monitor these sites, and I

407
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 3>have every I believe that you have every right, and

408
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:35.920
<v Speaker 3>our investigative branches of the United States government and state

409
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.599
<v Speaker 3>governments and local officials and all the people that are

410
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 3>involved in law enforcement have every right to investigate and

411
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:46.079
<v Speaker 3>infiltrate and find out if the legal activities are going on,

412
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 3>but to arrest people, then we'd be going back to

413
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 3>the McCarthy times.

414
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 6>Oh you look, Just to be clear, I know you're not.

415
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Just to be clear. And and if if, let us say, hypothetically,

416
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.279
<v Speaker 2>fly you decided, well, I'm going to spend some time

417
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 2>looking at kitty porn. Okay, Now you know, maybe you

418
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.960
<v Speaker 2>haven't committed a crime, because maybe there's no statue of

419
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.279
<v Speaker 2>the books that says looking at kitty porn is a

420
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:16.680
<v Speaker 2>crime per se. Now, if you try to engage in

421
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.119
<v Speaker 2>kitty porn, that's a different story, okay.

422
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Or distribute it or down.

423
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fair enough. But if all of a sudden the

424
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 2>FBI knocks at your door and said, well what are

425
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:32.119
<v Speaker 2>you doing hanging on in these kitty porn sites? That

426
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 2>might send a message which would be enough for you

427
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:36.559
<v Speaker 2>to say who this is? Not somewhere I really want

428
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.240
<v Speaker 2>to be same way with isis?

429
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:38.920
<v Speaker 8>Uh?

430
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 3>Here's how I look at this. We see because here's

431
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 3>the real issue. These people are visiting these sites mostly

432
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.400
<v Speaker 3>as adults and then going out and committing these crimes

433
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:51.119
<v Speaker 3>on their own volition, not because they read something. The

434
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:55.799
<v Speaker 3>bottom line is, years ago, many years ago, people in

435
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 3>this country have decided that there is a way to

436
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:03.279
<v Speaker 3>gain power, political power by teaching people that America was

437
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.759
<v Speaker 3>founded by evil, racist and became the power that it

438
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:10.720
<v Speaker 3>is on ill gotten gains. And there is a political

439
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 3>group in this country that is growing and has been

440
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:17.759
<v Speaker 3>growing for decades by denouncing America and hating America, and

441
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 3>this festering in our colleges and our schools, and now

442
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:24.359
<v Speaker 3>it's getting down way down to even earlier programs. So

443
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 3>if you're teaching people that our history is awful and

444
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:33.079
<v Speaker 3>despicable and racist and evil, and America is evil, then

445
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 3>they grow up believing that, and then that's why they're

446
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:38.000
<v Speaker 3>going to look at these places. So I agree with

447
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.960
<v Speaker 3>you to investigate these sites and these people. I also

448
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.160
<v Speaker 3>agree that the people that are making these types of

449
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 3>speeches and gaining political power by hating America, maybe they

450
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.799
<v Speaker 3>don't need to be investigated by our government, but they

451
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 3>certainly need to be denounced and checked by us.

452
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.119
<v Speaker 1>We the people.

453
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:57.720
<v Speaker 3>We don't need the government to do everything for us.

454
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 3>We need to do it ourselves. Were familiar, buddy, I

455
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 3>love America. You know that, and I'm hoping that you know,

456
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm in my late forties. I'm hoping that I can

457
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 3>see this country turn around for my kids, your grandkids,

458
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 3>and everybody else that comes after us.

459
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 2>We said, we said thanks, well, appreciate it. Happy New Year.

460
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:19.839
<v Speaker 2>And next up, let's go to Christine in Dedham. Hi, Christine,

461
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:20.799
<v Speaker 2>how are you tonight? Welcome?

462
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:23.279
<v Speaker 9>Thank you?

463
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:23.599
<v Speaker 3>Dan.

464
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:29.759
<v Speaker 9>I cherished his country. The veterans have made our freedom free.

465
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.519
<v Speaker 9>And I feel like, like you said, we need to

466
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.039
<v Speaker 9>stop these doc websites and just we need to start

467
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 9>respecting America again. And how we will always come together

468
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.200
<v Speaker 9>in times of bed like nine to eleven and the

469
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:46.119
<v Speaker 9>Boston's Marathon bombing is how we always came together and

470
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 9>help each other. We just need to stay together and Terrish,

471
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.119
<v Speaker 9>our country. We've got to enclothes aboard us and that

472
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 9>is enough.

473
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, I think that we have a right

474
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:01.079
<v Speaker 2>as a country. And again I'm I'm trying to keep

475
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>this as non political as I can, but I think

476
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.400
<v Speaker 2>we have a right to monitor our borders and to

477
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.839
<v Speaker 2>make sure that people who are coming into the country

478
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>come in through legitimate access points and we know who

479
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>they are and we know why they're coming here, and

480
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 2>they would have to come here for a reason. Now

481
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.920
<v Speaker 2>they cannot come to America under the law currently for

482
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.599
<v Speaker 2>simply economic reasons. Meaning if somebody lives in a country where,

483
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:32.920
<v Speaker 2>let us say, the political regime is so oppressive that

484
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:35.440
<v Speaker 2>they're in fear of their life or in fear of

485
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>their freedom, or and fear of their liberty, that is

486
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 2>a way in which we have allowed people to come here.

487
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 2>But if someone comes here and says, hey, I'd like

488
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>to make more money and depth, that's not a reason

489
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to come to the country. So we need to be

490
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:57.279
<v Speaker 2>clearer for everybody to understand how access to America. I'm

491
00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:59.160
<v Speaker 2>not saying we shut the borders. I mean in the

492
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.559
<v Speaker 2>sense that nobody gets in, But I think that we

493
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.400
<v Speaker 2>have to do it in a way in which legally

494
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 2>we understand who's coming in, why they're coming in, and

495
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>what they have to offer. That's all, you know, Keep

496
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.359
<v Speaker 2>it so people understand it, Christine, is what I think.

497
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.599
<v Speaker 2>There's there's a lot of confusion now as amongst amongst people,

498
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 2>and they don't know what the purpose of a border is.

499
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:28.519
<v Speaker 2>If we don't there are people who tell you we

500
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:33.000
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't have a border you know, a country without borders

501
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.799
<v Speaker 2>is no longer a country. I think. I think I've

502
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.279
<v Speaker 2>lost Christine here. Okay, thanks Christine, appreciate your call. Let

503
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:44.319
<v Speaker 2>me get one more in here before the break. Let's

504
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 2>go next to Jamie in Worcester. Jamie next on Nightside.

505
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>What do you cherish about America? Jamie?

506
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.880
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I Dan, can you hear me here?

507
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Are you fine? Go right ahead?

508
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:55.319
<v Speaker 5>All right, I'm on speak a phone and I just

509
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:57.160
<v Speaker 5>wanted it's easier to talk to you that way.

510
00:29:57.640 --> 00:29:57.759
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

511
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.240
<v Speaker 5>I cherish the believe it or not. I cherished the

512
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:06.160
<v Speaker 5>decision making of our country because you know, the people

513
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 5>of this country every every election I've been through, I'm

514
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:13.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm fifty two years old, but I don't know. Every time,

515
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:16.359
<v Speaker 5>in the end, the people make the right choice, you know,

516
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 5>they they weigh the decisions a night. At times, I'm

517
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:23.319
<v Speaker 5>worried because of the slander both sides of the of

518
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 5>the side of the campaign, you know, go into it

519
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 5>and telling this and that, and then you hear all

520
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 5>this news and it's like, oh man, you know, people

521
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.759
<v Speaker 5>are going to make the wrong choice. But in the

522
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 5>end they can't for the country, and they make the

523
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:39.599
<v Speaker 5>right choice. I don't know.

524
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I don't know that we've always made

525
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.599
<v Speaker 2>the right choice. I think that at critical times we

526
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.880
<v Speaker 2>made the right choice. I think Franklin Roosevelt was the

527
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 2>right choice at the time of depression. He certainly was

528
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the right choice of World War Two. I think Dwight

529
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 2>eisen I think Harry Truman was historically a great president.

530
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.359
<v Speaker 2>I think not someone who people expected a lot from.

531
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Eisenhower was a was a great leader. Kennedy was a

532
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 2>great leader. I think that that that Nixon so loved

533
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and desired the office that at the end of the day,

534
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>he was not the right choice.

535
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:16.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I agree with all that.

536
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:20.920
<v Speaker 2>But I think I think there have been time time

537
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 2>in this country for conservative Republicans and time in this

538
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 2>country for more you know, liberal Democrats. But I think

539
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:32.119
<v Speaker 2>we've always tried to stay within some you know boundaries.

540
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean that Ronald Reagan, George Bush, George Bush, they

541
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:43.920
<v Speaker 2>all I think were fine. President Obama I disagreed a

542
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:48.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of what he did, but I think he handled himself.

543
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.119
<v Speaker 2>There were things I wish he had done better, but

544
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.039
<v Speaker 2>I thought he had himself well. So yeah, maybe maybe

545
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.319
<v Speaker 2>you're right. Maybe I don't know that we had a

546
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.720
<v Speaker 2>great choice.

547
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Because I'm just saying that when I watch elections

548
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.880
<v Speaker 5>from my you know, side of the paytation of politics.

549
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 5>When I was in my early twenties to now in

550
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:14.119
<v Speaker 5>my fifties, when I remember the Reagan days and the

551
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 5>Obama days and the Clinton days, it was just issues,

552
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:21.000
<v Speaker 5>and now it's all slander. Like you know, you don't

553
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 5>know who to believe and who not to believe, and

554
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 5>so it gets really like muddy and you get worried

555
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.000
<v Speaker 5>about who is you know, are people going to fall

556
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.960
<v Speaker 5>for this false lie or that false lie on both sides?

557
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.000
<v Speaker 5>And it's just so that that was my worry. And

558
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying I'm going to go on one Caidid

559
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 5>or the other. I'm just saying for the betterment of

560
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:45.799
<v Speaker 5>the country, it was a tough decision for people to make,

561
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:49.839
<v Speaker 5>and based on the whole situation, this is one of

562
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:53.559
<v Speaker 5>the most difficult political elections I had to vote on.

563
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, who'd you vote for? Who'd you finally vote for?

564
00:32:56.799 --> 00:33:00.279
<v Speaker 5>If I could ask, I did do Trump because because

565
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:04.240
<v Speaker 5>I just I had to. I just you know, I

566
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:06.359
<v Speaker 5>know my brother, he's a big Democrat.

567
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:10.359
<v Speaker 2>And all I can say to you is this I

568
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:15.960
<v Speaker 2>hope that your confidence in him works out for the country.

569
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wanted to succeed, just like I wanted

570
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden succeed. I don't think Joe Biden was a

571
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.519
<v Speaker 2>very successful president. Uh and I agree.

572
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:29.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. You know, I didn't make my decision on politics.

573
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 5>I was just trying to listen to the betterment of

574
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.720
<v Speaker 5>the country and and it was a tough decision. But

575
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.559
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I don't know what you know, I said,

576
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.880
<v Speaker 5>he I know he has his moments, and you know

577
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:47.279
<v Speaker 5>we all know that. But I'm like, you got what

578
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 5>do you do? I said, the guy he's a businessman.

579
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.799
<v Speaker 5>He knows what to do.

580
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Well. Again, as I said, I want I don't want

581
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:56.720
<v Speaker 2>to relitigate the campaign. At some point in the next time.

582
00:33:57.039 --> 00:33:57.119
<v Speaker 6>I.

583
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.279
<v Speaker 5>Want to go, I don't want to talk about that.

584
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Call me back over time and tell me if you're

585
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:10.079
<v Speaker 2>happy with how it goes once he becomes president. I

586
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 2>hope he's successful, just as I hope Joe Biden would

587
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:14.719
<v Speaker 2>be successful.

588
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.079
<v Speaker 5>I exactly me say the same way with me because

589
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:19.400
<v Speaker 5>I worked for Joe Biden.

590
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So okay, well that's a good that's a good reason

591
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:25.199
<v Speaker 2>why your brother should have stuck with him, Jamie, I'm

00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:55.119

603
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:57.360
<v Speaker 2>then he will be probably doing a good job. If

604
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.719
<v Speaker 2>you're not comfortable about it, he probably won't be doing

605
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:01.320
<v Speaker 2>a good job. So keep it.

606
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.199

<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

612
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:24.639
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

613
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to try to get everybody in, so we

614
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.039
<v Speaker 2>got to tighten it up. Alex and Millis. Alex next

615
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.760
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside, grow right ahead, what do you cherish about America?

616
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 10>I cherish that it's a resilient country. So no matter

617
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:43.360
<v Speaker 10>what happens, uh, all these extremes we've encountered, things seem

618
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:47.480
<v Speaker 10>to get back to normal, so to speak. And it

619
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:50.599
<v Speaker 10>is still the greatest country in the world because I

620
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.440
<v Speaker 10>came from I came from, you know, Greece, and that's

621
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.920
<v Speaker 10>a lovely country too, But this is the only country

622
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.760
<v Speaker 10>where it will let you practice what you want. You know,

623
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:04.719
<v Speaker 10>our health care system it's not the best, it's not

624
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.519
<v Speaker 10>the worst, and it's not the best, but it's still

625
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 10>better in most places, you.

626
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:09.519
<v Speaker 7>Know in the world.

627
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Well said, Well, we'll say.

628
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:15.920
<v Speaker 10>But there's a lot of nice things. You can say

629
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:18.840
<v Speaker 10>a lot about America, but I think that we're resilient.

630
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think you're right, and I think you said

631
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:25.800
<v Speaker 2>it well, and I appreciate you taking the time, Alex,

632
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:29.239
<v Speaker 2>I really do, thank you, sir. Great night, Good night,

633
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep rolling. You're going to go to joe In,

634
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:34.480
<v Speaker 2>joe Inn in Waltham, joe In next on nightside. What

635
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:35.599
<v Speaker 2>do you cherish about America?

636
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:35.920
<v Speaker 7>Joe In?

637
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 11>They did Happy New Year to you and everyone.

638
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

639
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 11>Well, yeah, I had my doubts, but the election restored

640
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:54.199
<v Speaker 11>my faith in American people half of them. Anyways, it's

641
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:57.639
<v Speaker 11>it's a wonderful country. It is the best country. And

642
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:02.519
<v Speaker 11>I agreed with everything Will said, and you said, yeah, well.

643
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that. I just think that that that what

644
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:09.320
<v Speaker 2>my concern is. I don't particularly care whether we have

645
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:13.599
<v Speaker 2>a Democratic or Republican president. You know, again, we tend

646
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.320
<v Speaker 2>to swing back and forth to go through this with

647
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:17.199
<v Speaker 2>you many times.

648
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:22.239
<v Speaker 11>But if you but was a failure, Yeah.

649
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:27.960
<v Speaker 2>He was very He's a huge disappointment. American hambered particularly well.

650
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:34.360
<v Speaker 2>But he's he will soon be gone. Uh. And you

651
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:38.599
<v Speaker 2>know he here heard his party tremendously.

652
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:42.320
<v Speaker 11>So I'm just praying Trump will do well.

653
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's the point. I mean, I hope he does.

654
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.599
<v Speaker 2>And if he does well, we'll all benefit. If he

655
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:52.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do well, he'll be criticized and and not only

656
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:57.480
<v Speaker 2>will he and four years uh as a failure, but

657
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.679
<v Speaker 2>then the Republican party will watch there as he turns

658
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the country back over to the Democrats. That's the way.

659
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:03.960
<v Speaker 2>That was simple.

660
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:05.039
<v Speaker 6>That so good.

661
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.920
<v Speaker 11>And I tried to call you last night because I

662
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:10.880
<v Speaker 11>had the exact same thing you had.

663
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh I don't want to go into that tonight.

664
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:16.599
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I had the same thing.

665
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:21.079
<v Speaker 2>I hope we both recover. I think I'm finally almost

666
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.360
<v Speaker 2>out of the woods. When when did you get out

667
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 2>of the woods.

668
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:27.480
<v Speaker 11>It took me a month to get rid of the cough.

669
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 2>What did your doctors diagnose it?

670
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:30.599
<v Speaker 7>As?

671
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:30.880
<v Speaker 6>Did?

672
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I did know?

673
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:35.719
<v Speaker 11>I don't go to the doctor. I'm like, it's the

674
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:38.239
<v Speaker 11>flu or a bad chest cold.

675
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:44.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, go to the your brain that I am, Joeanne, trust.

676
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:47.639
<v Speaker 11>Me, I guess, and the good wife that I am.

677
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 11>I gave it to my husband and he wanted to

678
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.320
<v Speaker 11>go to the doctor, and I talked him out of it.

679
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:54.760
<v Speaker 11>They were both fine.

680
00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Good for you, Joanne. I got to run here. I

681
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.960
<v Speaker 2>get the boy coming up talking every good here's called

682
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you look forward to the next things. Happy New Year.

683
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:06.400
<v Speaker 2>We're going next going to go to Dan and Brookline. Dan,

684
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:07.639
<v Speaker 2>what do you charge about America?

685
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:11.519
<v Speaker 8>I think it's pretty clear to me. Uh, it's the

686
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:14.800
<v Speaker 8>Constitution and in particular the Bill of Rights. I think

687
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.960
<v Speaker 8>that a lot of what people have said tonight is

688
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:19.760
<v Speaker 8>gets you know, has its origin in that. And all

689
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:22.519
<v Speaker 8>you have to do is look at England, a country,

690
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:25.280
<v Speaker 8>great Britain, a country that I always thought was kind

691
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.920
<v Speaker 8>of sort of like our sister country, and in the

692
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 8>reality is you've paid attention to what's happening there.

693
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 6>The lack of a.

694
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:35.960
<v Speaker 8>Bill of rights, the lack of of you know, hard

695
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 8>coded freedom of speech like we have is just it's

696
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:42.800
<v Speaker 8>out of control there. They're arresting people for saying things.

697
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:46.719
<v Speaker 8>It's just it's crazy, and we'm.

698
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Arresting people for saying things. But I am now becoming

699
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:52.679
<v Speaker 2>much more in favor of monitoring more closely.

700
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 6>Some of them with you.

701
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:58.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, In fact, I've been paying a lot more attention

702
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:01.679
<v Speaker 8>to Twitter the last year and a half and some

703
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:03.880
<v Speaker 8>of the stuff that I read on there is so

704
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:08.760
<v Speaker 8>awful and horrible and uh, and what it does to people. Again,

705
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:11.519
<v Speaker 8>you know, this terrorism that we're that we're seeing, I

706
00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:14.119
<v Speaker 8>think a lot of it comes from social media, but

707
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.159
<v Speaker 8>we have to be really careful when we talk about

708
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:19.840
<v Speaker 8>censoring it. And so I don't know what the answer is,

709
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.480
<v Speaker 8>but I'm with you, we've got some problems.

710
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I think as we don't censor about I think we

711
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:29.920
<v Speaker 2>have to monitor more carefully and also get to people

712
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.880
<v Speaker 2>and almost do an intervention and say what the hell

713
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:35.920
<v Speaker 2>are you doing? And if somebody has a reaction and says,

714
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll do what I want to do and blah blah blah.

715
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Then you got to watch them. You got to watch them,

716
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:43.280
<v Speaker 2>simple as that take the temperature. Thanks Dan, appreciate you calling.

717
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.719
<v Speaker 2>All right, New Year, New you two as well. Let

718
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:47.800
<v Speaker 2>me go to Robert and Wellesley. Robert, get time for

719
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:49.599
<v Speaker 2>you and one more go ahead, Robert.

720
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:55.360
<v Speaker 12>Good even Jan our chair us religious freedom, our Judeo

721
00:40:55.480 --> 00:41:02.880
<v Speaker 12>Christian culture, and our ethical patriotism. I think that something,

722
00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 12>something really went went wrong. We have a great country, uh,

723
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.559
<v Speaker 12>and it's a land of opportunity, but people do get hurt.

724
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:13.159
<v Speaker 12>I think we have to be have an ethical sense

725
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:16.119
<v Speaker 12>about how we deal with other other people. And uh

726
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:20.880
<v Speaker 12>uh something went wrong with that? Was that person in

727
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.039
<v Speaker 12>New Orleans that he felt that the only solace he

728
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:28.239
<v Speaker 12>had left and it was to use the remainder of

729
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:32.559
<v Speaker 12>his life to strike out blindly in an act of violence.

730
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:35.119
<v Speaker 2>So but but there's a lot of people in that category.

731
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:40.039
<v Speaker 2>He's not the first. Okay, remember we got the Boston bombers.

732
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:43.400
<v Speaker 2>You got the guy, the Halloween guy in in New

733
00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:44.559
<v Speaker 2>York a few years ago.

734
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:45.159
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

735
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:48.800
<v Speaker 2>These you have Major Nadal Hassan, the guy down at

736
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:54.400
<v Speaker 2>uh in Texas, at Fort Hood, Texas. Uh, this is

737
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>a problem, and we got to deal with it in

738
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:58.159
<v Speaker 2>some form of FasTIS.

739
00:41:58.320 --> 00:41:59.079
<v Speaker 13>Oh, I agree?

740
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:04.519
<v Speaker 12>This certainly isn't a a need for for our government

741
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.519
<v Speaker 12>services to function the way this's postal function in order

742
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:08.679
<v Speaker 12>in order to protect us.

743
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.239
<v Speaker 2>You bet you? Thanks, Robert, appreciate you call very much.

744
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Happy New Year. Gonna wrap it up, barn is mixed up,

745
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Born and Ashley.
